[0002] With the development of the economy and technology, the country has also put forward higher requirements for environmental protection. Lithium batteries, as an emerging clean energy source, are gradually being recognized by the market. Currently, the internal wiring layout of existing lithium battery pack designs is particularly complicated, which not only increases the complexity of operation and maintenance, but also poses significant safety risks. Under the same specifications, smaller lithium battery packs have poor heat dissipation and overly dense components due to the compact internal space design, which significantly increases safety risks. For larger lithium battery packs, although their spatial layout is more flexible, it reduces the risk of overheating and short circuits to a certain extent, providing relatively high safety. However, this design also means that they cannot fully meet the diverse needs of the current market in terms of portability and cost-effectiveness. Therefore, how to balance market demand and portability while ensuring safety is a major challenge that needs to be solved in current lithium battery pack design. Therefore, the utility model proposes a soft-pack lithium battery pack for electric vehicles, which realizes a small size, high capacity and safe lithium battery pack.

[0003] Currently, no effective solutions have been proposed for the problems in related technologies. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] Example

[0019] See also Figure 1-3 The utility model provides the following technical solutions: A soft-pack lithium battery pack for electric vehicles, comprising an outer shell and a core, wherein the core is installed inside the outer shell, and the core comprises a plurality of soft-pack batteries 1 and an isolation plate 2, wherein these soft-pack batteries 1 are arranged in a collinear manner, and each soft-pack battery 1 is equipped with a pole ear 3 at both ends. Isolation grooves 4 are evenly distributed on the surface of the isolation plate 2, and the number matches the soft-pack batteries 1. The isolation plate 2 is cleverly arranged at the pole ears 3 at both ends of the soft-pack battery 1 to ensure that the pole ears 3 at the ends of the soft-pack battery 1 can accurately pass through the isolation grooves 4 on the surface of the isolation plate 2, thereby ensuring that the soft-pack battery 1 is fixed. In addition, the pole ears 3 at the ends of the upper and lower adjacent soft-pack batteries 1 are connected end to end by welding, thereby ensuring the stable transmission of current. In order to enhance the safety performance of the battery pack, the outer sides of the soft-pack battery 1 and the isolation plate 2 are covered with a flame-retardant layer 5. A power protection motherboard 6 is fixed to the outside of the flame-retardant layer 5 at the end of the battery pack. This motherboard 6 is electrically connected to the soft-pack battery 1, providing effective power protection for the battery pack. In the event of abnormal charging or discharging, it can automatically protect itself and disconnect the circuit, making the battery pack safer. The outer shell consists of a battery can 12, a battery cover 7, and a battery cover 8, forming a closed and stable structure. The battery cover 7 is equipped with a charging plug 9 and a discharging plug 10, respectively, which electrically connect to the soft-pack battery 1, facilitating charging and discharging operations of the battery pack.

[0020] In order to protect materials and structures from damage by fire, in this embodiment, as a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the isolation plate 2 and the flame-retardant layer plate 5 are both made of flame-retardant resin plate, and the battery can 12 is made of aluminum alloy.

[0021] In order to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the battery housing, in this embodiment, as a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the battery upper cover 7 and the battery lower cover 8 are respectively fastened to the ends of the battery tube 12 by screws.

[0022] In order to make the battery pack safer, in this embodiment, as a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a safety lock 11 is installed between the battery cover 7 and the battery can 12.

[0023] In summary, with the help of the above technical solution of the present invention, the present invention bends the pole ear 3 of the soft-pack battery 1 at the bending machine according to the set size, and then inserts it into the flame-retardant resin isolation plate 2 in sequence, wherein the flame-retardant resin isolation plate 2 mainly fixes the interval of the soft-pack battery 1 and prevents the pole ear 3 on the soft-pack battery 1 from hitting the soft-pack battery 1 body during welding, preventing the risk of short circuit. After determining the position, the flame-retardant resin isolation plate 2 is wrapped around the soft-pack battery 1 group to play a supporting role, and then the assembled soft-pack battery 1 group is sent to the laser welding place for welding the pole ear. After the welding is completed, the power protection mainboard 6 is fixed to one end of the soft-pack battery 1 group. The cable is connected to the corresponding tab 3 of the soft-pack battery 1, and the power protection mainboard 6 can protect itself and disconnect the circuit when the soft-pack battery 1 is abnormally charged or discharged, making the battery pack safer. After completion, glue filling is carried out, and the glue filling can increase the heat dissipation, thereby further ensuring the safety of the battery. After the glue dries, it is waterproofed, and the battery barrel 12 and the battery lower cover 8 are fixed with screws. Then, the soft-pack battery 1 is assembled into the battery barrel 12, and the battery upper cover 7, discharge plug 10, charging plug 9 and safety lock 11 are assembled and fastened with screws. The charging plug 9 adopts the new national standard fast charging port, which can be charged quickly and greatly shorten the charging time.
