[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the present utility model provides a battery pack tray, which includes a frame 1, a bottom plate 2 and a bottom guard plate 3 arranged in layers in sequence, wherein the frame 1 includes a plurality of border beams 13, and the plurality of border beams 13 are connected end to end in sequence to form the frame 1.

[0034] The battery pack tray further includes a mounting beam 11 and a reinforcing beam 12. The mounting beam 11 is used to mount the battery pack tray to an automobile, and the reinforcing beam 12 is used to increase the connection strength between the mounting beam 11 and the border beam 13. In one example, the border beam 13, the mounting beam 11 and the reinforcing beam 12 are integrally roll-formed. In another example, the border beam 13, the mounting beam 11 and the reinforcing beam 12 are fixedly connected to each other by means of welding, bolt connection, etc. And in this embodiment, the border beam 13 and the reinforcing beam 12 can adopt the same roll cross-section, so as to reduce the cost. As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the cross-section of the border beam 13 is "day" shaped. Optionally, the cross-section of the border beam 13 can also be "eye" shaped, so as to improve the structural strength.

[0035] Specifically, the number of the mounting beams 11 is at least two, and they are respectively fixedly connected to two relatively arranged border beams 13. Optionally, a plurality of reinforcing beams 12 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the mounting beam 11. The length of the reinforcing beam 12 is preferably about 1 / 10 of the length of the mounting beam 11, and preferably 2 to 6 reinforcing beams 12 are arranged on each border beam 13. As Figure 1 shown, there are 4 reinforcing beams 12. By arranging the 4 reinforcing beams 12 at intervals, while meeting the structural strength, the weight can be reduced to achieve lightweight.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 3One side of the plurality of reinforcing beams 12 is fixedly connected to the frame 1, and the other side is fixedly connected to the mounting beam 11.

The fixing member 41 connects the base plate 2 and the frame 1 while providing an installation point for the bottom guard plate 3. Compared with the method of fixing the base plate 2 and the frame 1 with rivets, and then fixing the base plate 2 and the bottom guard plate 3 with bolts embedded in the base plate 2, the fixing member 41 and the connecting member 42 are connected to each other, so that the frame 1, the base plate 2 and the bottom guard plate 3 are relatively fixed, which can reduce the number of fixing members 41 and further reduce the weight of the battery pack tray.

[0038] Optionally, the fixing member 41 is a fastening rivet, and the connecting member 42 is a bolt. The frame 1 and the base plate 2 are respectively provided with a first fixing hole 131 and a second fixing hole 21, and the bottom guard plate 3 and the fixing member 41 are respectively provided with a first connecting hole 31 and a second connecting hole 411.

Preferably, the support assembly 5 includes a support member 51 made of a hard material and an elastic member 52 made of an elastic material, wherein the elastic member 52 is clamped between the support member 51 and the bottom plate 2. The support member 51 can improve the impact resistance of the bottom of the battery pack tray, and improve safety in scenarios where the bottom of the battery pack tray is scratched by foreign objects; the elastic member 52 can provide a certain supporting force to the bottom plate 2 to avoid deformation of the middle area of ​​the bottom plate 2, and can prevent the support member 51 from vibrating, making abnormal noise or uneven contact with the bottom plate 2 or the bottom guard plate 3 during driving of the car.

[0041] See also Figure 5 Optionally, a through hole 132 is provided on the inner side of at least one frame beam 13, and the through hole 132 is used to allow the electrophoretic medium to flow.
