The first containing box is fixedly arranged in the upper protective box, and the second containing box is fixedly arranged in the lower protective box. The phase change material pack is arranged between the upper protective box and the first containing box and between the lower protective box and the second containing box. The quick locking assembly is arranged at the ends of the upper protective box and the lower protective box.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the lithium battery can be protected by setting up an upper protective box, a lower protective box, a first containing box and a second containing box to prevent the lithium battery from being physically damaged. The heat emitted by the lithium battery can be absorbed by the phase change material package by setting up the phase change material package, so that the temperature in the upper protective box and the lower protective box will not be too high. When the temperature in the upper protective box and the lower protective box is too low, the phase change material package releases heat, so that the temperature in the upper protective box and the lower protective box will not be too low, thereby keeping the temperature in the upper protective box and the lower protective box in a uniform and stable constant temperature state for a long time, thereby preventing the low temperature environment from reducing the performance of the lithium battery.
