DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0030] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating the basic structure of the present invention only in a schematic manner. Therefore, they only show components relevant to the present invention. While the present invention is described in detail using structural diagrams, these diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0031] See also Figures 1 to 6 Embodiment 1: A thin-walled, lightweight battery pack case includes a hard bottom shell 1 and a rollable top cover 2. The hard bottom shell 1 is provided with a connected bottom plate and side panels. The side panels are provided with hanging openings 1a, which are used to insert and install detachable hanging ears 1b from top to bottom. Specifically, the hard bottom shell 1 is provided with 8 or more hanging openings 1a, and the detachable hanging ears 1b correspond to the hanging openings 1a one by one.
[0032] By providing a detachable lifting ear 1b, the battery pack box can be lifted into the vehicle body and then removed, thereby reducing the weight of the battery pack box. Since the fixed self-contained lifting ear design is removed, there is no lifting ear protruding outward, and the edge space of the battery pack box is not occupied or expanded. Specifically, the detachable lifting ear 1b includes a lifting ring 1b-1 at the top, and a fixed hook plate 1b-3 is connected to the lifting ring 1b-1 through the vertical plate 1b-2. A movable hook plate 1b-4 is provided between the lifting ring 1b-1 and the fixed hook plate 1b-3. A transverse movable hook 1f is provided on the side vertical plate of the hard bottom shell 1. The transverse movable hook 1f is squeezed by the elastic member 1g and presses against the detachable lifting ear 1b. A transverse movable hook 1f is provided on each side of each detachable lifting ear 1b; the movable hook plate 1b-4 is sleeved on the outside of the vertical plate 1b-2 and can be moved up and down based on the vertical plate 1b-2. The vertical plate 1b-2 is provided with a protruding stopper 1b-5. When the stopper 1b-5 moves downward, it can drive the movable hook plate 1b-4 to move downward. The stopper 1b-5 is located above the movable hook plate 1b-4. The bottom of the fixed hook plate 1b-3 is pointed, and its cross section gradually increases from bottom to top. The cross section of the movable hook plate 1b-4 gradually decreases from bottom to top. The transverse movable hook 1f is provided with a slope 1f-1 inclined from top to bottom on one side near the detachable lifting ear 1b. The movable hook plate 1b-4 moves up and down between the stopper 1b-5 and the fixed hook plate 1b-3. Figure 3 The figure shows the connection state of the detachable lifting ear 1b and the hard bottom shell 1. At this time, the fixed hook plate 1b-3 is clamped with the transverse movable hook 1f, and the hard bottom shell 1 can be lifted through the uppermost lifting ring 1b-1; the detachable lifting ear 1b is moved downward again, and the block 1b-5 moves downward with the movable hook plate 1b-4, and the transverse movable hook 1f is separated outward. The inclined surface of the movable hook plate 1b-4 contacts the tip of the transverse movable hook 1f until it is as shown. Figure 4 The detachable lifting ear 1b is shown to be about to be separated from the hard bottom shell 1. Then the detachable lifting ear 1b is moved upward. Due to the action of the inclined surface of the movable hook plate 1b-4, the fixed hook plate 1b-3 below is disengaged from the horizontal movable hook 1f, so that the detachable lifting ear 1b is taken out from the lifting mouth 1a.
[0033] The rollable top cover 2 includes an upper roll skin layer 2a and a lower roll skin layer 2b, and a plurality of support rods 2c are arranged at equal intervals between the two. The upper surface of the support rod 2c is a curved surface and the lower surface is a flat surface. The upper roll skin layer 2a and the lower roll skin layer 2b are fitted together where they are not blocked by the support rod 2c. The edge of the rollable top cover 2 is provided with mounting holes that pass through the upper and lower ends of the support rod 2c. Figure 6 As shown, the top cover 2 can be laid or opened in a curled shape, thereby improving work efficiency, and the soft material also has the effect of further reducing weight.
[0034] In addition, transverse bolt holes 1c and longitudinal bolt holes 1d are provided on the side panels of the hard bottom shell 1 for installing transverse screw groups and longitudinal screw groups, which are connected to the vehicle body. There are many connection points and they are evenly spaced around the circumference to ensure that the battery pack box is firmly fixed to the vehicle body; the bottom plate of the hard bottom shell 1 is stamped with multiple rows of parallel bottom plate reinforcement ribs 1e, which improves the overall rigidity and deformation resistance of the bottom plate.
[0035] As a further optimization solution, a first magnetic strip is provided on the edge of the rollable top cover 2, and a second magnetic strip is provided on the top edge of the side plate of the hard bottom shell 1. The first magnetic strip and the second magnetic strip attract each other to optimize the sealing performance, thereby ensuring good sealing performance of the box and preventing the battery pack from getting damp or dusty.
[0036] Under the premise of ensuring the safety of the battery pack, the use of composite materials with a density lower than that of metal plates helps to reduce the overall weight of the vehicle, thereby improving energy efficiency. Example 2: Combining Figure 7 、 Figure 8 As shown, the difference from Example 1 is that the side panels of the hard bottom shell 1 have hollowed-out through-holes to further reduce weight. Lightweight materials can be filled between the hollowed-out holes to insulate the sides of the battery pack case from the outside world. Lightweight materials must also possess flame retardant properties. This type of sheet material can be reinforced with fiber materials and a flame-retardant resin matrix. The fibers can be short or long, arranged unidirectionally or in a woven structure within the matrix, effectively increasing the strength and rigidity of the sheet material. Furthermore, some of the hollowed-out holes can be used to install electrical connectors for connecting the battery pack case to the outside, eliminating the need for additional holes.
[0037] This utility model features a thin-walled, lightweight battery pack case. By eliminating the fixed, built-in lifting lugs and eliminating the protruding lugs, the case neither occupies nor expands the edge space of the battery pack, thus reducing overall weight. With the rapid development of electric vehicles and energy storage systems, the demand for battery packs is growing. The battery pack case, which serves as the protective outer shell of the battery pack, utilizes lightweight materials and an optimized structural design. This battery pack case helps improve the energy efficiency and range of new energy vehicles.
[0038] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, any relevant changes, modifications or additions should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
