DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention but are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0031] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0032] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; and direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediary. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0033] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, a power battery box assembly includes a power battery frame 1, a battery box door 6, and a power battery fuse 3; the internal space of the power battery frame 1 is used to install multiple power batteries 2; the battery box door 6 is installed at the opening surface of the power battery frame 1, and is used to close the power battery frame 1 and protect the multiple power batteries 2; the power battery fuse 3 is connected to the power battery circuit 5 composed of multiple power batteries 2 in series, and the power battery fuse 3 is arranged on the outer surface of the battery box door 6, and the power battery fuse 3, the battery box door 6 and the power battery 2 are fixed together by detachable parts, so that the power battery fuse 3 and the battery box door 6 are linked; after the detachable parts are removed, when the battery box door 6 is disassembled, the power battery fuse 3 is removed along with the battery box door 6, thereby realizing power-off control of the power battery 2.

[0034] From the above, it can be seen that the utility model proposes an improved power battery box assembly. By associating the power battery fuse 3 with the battery box door 6, it is necessary to remove the power battery fuse 3 before opening the battery box door 6 during inspection or maintenance, thereby effectively preventing the operator from coming into contact with the live circuit when working in the box, greatly improving the operational safety during equipment inspection and maintenance and the standardization of battery maintenance.

[0035] The above-mentioned power battery frame is further described below.

[0036] Continue to refer to Figure 4 As shown, the internal space of the power battery frame 1 is divided into multiple columns of mounting units 13, and each column of mounting units 13 is longitudinally distributed with multiple mounting spaces 14. The bottom of each mounting space 14 is provided with a power battery mounting bracket 12 for fixing a single power battery 2; multiple longitudinally mounted power batteries 2 in each column of mounting units 13 are connected by a power battery harness 4 (that is, the power battery harness 4 is connected to the corresponding power battery positive interface 10 and power battery negative interface 11 of each power battery 2), forming a power battery circuit 5. The power battery circuits 5 in multiple mounting units 13 are connected in parallel to output power for the entire vehicle; each power battery circuit 5 is installed with a power battery fuse 3, and each power battery fuse 3 corresponds to a battery box door 6, and each group of power battery fuses 3 and battery box doors 6 are independently operated.

[0037] A preferred embodiment of the power battery frame is given below:

[0038] Continue to refer to Figure 4As shown, the internal space of the power battery frame 1 is divided into three columns of mounting units 13, and each column of mounting units 13 has three mounting spaces 14 distributed longitudinally, which can accommodate nine power batteries 2 as a whole; the opening surface of the power battery frame 1 is closed by three independent battery box doors 6 arranged side by side, and a power battery fuse 3 is installed on the outer surface of each battery box door 6; when any battery box door 6 is opened, the power battery fuse 3 on the battery box door 6 is forcibly removed from the corresponding power battery circuit 5, so that the power battery circuit 5 is in a power-off state, and no current passes through the power battery wiring harness 4.

[0039] It should be noted that the internal space of the power battery frame 1 is not limited to the above-mentioned three columns of installation units 13, and can also be designed into four or five columns of installation units according to actual needs; the longitudinal distribution of the installation units 13 in each column is not limited to the above-mentioned three installation spaces 14, and can also be designed into four or five installation spaces according to actual needs.

[0040] Further solutions, such as Figure 2 As shown, the battery box door 6 is provided with a protective structure for enclosing the power battery fuse 3 and preventing it from being damaged due to being exposed outside the battery box door 6.

[0041] The preferred solution is Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 5 As shown, the battery box door 6 is provided with a groove 7 for accommodating the power battery fuse 3, and a battery box inspection door 8 is installed on the opening surface of the groove 7; when the battery box inspection door 8 is closed, the groove 7 and the power battery fuse 3 are covered by the battery box inspection door 8; the battery box inspection door 8 and the groove 7 are used together to form a protective structure.

[0042] Further solutions, such as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 5 As shown, one end of the battery box inspection door 8 is hinged to the battery box door 6 through a hinge, and a door lock 9 is installed between the other end of the battery box inspection door 8 and the battery box door 6, so that the battery box inspection door 8 can be opened when not in maintenance or inspection status, ensuring the safety of the power battery fuse 3 in the working state.

[0043] The above-mentioned detachable components are further described below.

[0044] like Figure 5As shown, the detachable parts include a plurality of bolts 15, which pass through the mounting holes on the power battery fuse 3 and the mounting holes in the groove 7 on the battery box door 6 in sequence and are connected to the threaded holes on the power battery 2; this structure can make the power battery fuse 3 and the battery box door 6 linked together, so that when the battery box door 7 needs to be opened for inspection, all the bolts 15 used to fix the power battery fuse 3 must be removed first, so that the power battery fuse 3 is removed from the power battery circuit 5, and at the same time, the power-off processing of the power battery circuit 5 and the power battery wiring harness 4 is completed, thereby preventing the operator from contacting the power battery circuit 5 in a charged state.

[0045] In summary, the present invention achieves the following functions and effects:

[0046] The power battery fuse is designed to protrude from the battery compartment door and is housed in a recessed, lockable groove. This effectively protects the exposed portion of the fuse, preventing damage from external forces or misoperation during maintenance. It also ensures that the fuse cannot be directly accessed without authorization, effectively preventing unauthorized or misoperation. Furthermore, the power battery fuse is secured with bolts that pass through the battery compartment door, forcing the fuse to connect to the door.

[0047] When removing the battery compartment door, the bolts must be removed simultaneously to ensure the power battery fuse is forcibly removed, effectively disconnecting the power battery. This design eliminates the safety hazard of traditional "open the door first, then remove the fuse" operation. By physically restraining the battery compartment door, it ensures that the battery compartment door can only be opened when the power battery is disconnected. This ensures that each battery compartment door opening operation is accompanied by the removal of the power battery fuse and the disconnection of the power battery, ensuring operational safety even in emergency situations. This design eliminates the need for complex electrical interlocks and sensor controls, fundamentally reducing the risk of misoperation and the possibility of electrical failure.

[0048] The power battery system designed in this utility model consists of three independent power battery circuits, each composed of three power batteries connected in series, with a total of three independent power battery fuses and battery compartment doors. Each power battery fuse and battery compartment door operates independently and does not interfere with each other. This multi-circuit independent design allows for inspection or maintenance of one circuit without removing the power battery fuses and battery compartment doors of other circuits, effectively improving the convenience and safety of inspection.
