DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The utility model will be further explained in detail in combination with the drawings.

[0018] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly 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; direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0019] An embodiment of the present invention: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a combined battery PACK end plate includes an end plate body 4 and a universal profile 6; mounting holes are set on both sides of the end plate body 4; the universal profile 6 is provided with at least one slot 5 for clamping a steel strip 12, a step surface 9 is formed on the bottom of the universal profile 6, and there are mounting holes on the universal profile 6 corresponding to the end plate body 4. The universal profile 6 is provided with a pair of stepped surfaces 9 respectively connected to both sides of the end plate body 4, and the stepped surfaces 9 of the universal profile 6 are clamped on both sides of the end plate body 4 and fixed by screws 3. The PACK end plate of the utility model adopts the combination of the universal profile 6 and the end plate body 4. For square battery cells 11 of different sizes, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this solution only requires changing the length of the end plate body 4 and the universal profile 6, and the assembly method is also consistent. During assembly, the combined battery PACK end plates are placed on both sides of the battery module and tightened by tooling. There is no need to open the mold multiple times to change the overall shape and structure of the end plate; the universal profile 6 is provided with a slot 5 for the steel strip 12 to ensure that the steel strip is installed smoothly and is not easy to fall off, and different forms of slots 5 can be provided on the universal profile 6. When corresponding to different steel strips or other installation forms, only the corresponding universal profile 6 needs to be replaced. The bottom of the universal profile 6 is formed with a step surface that can be more tightly clamped on the end plate body 4, making the combination more firm and reliable.

[0020] In other specific embodiments of the present invention, the rest are the same as the above embodiments, except that, Figure 2 As shown, the front of the end plate body 4 is welded with a reinforcing rib 8, and the bottom of the reinforcing rib 8 is reserved with a mounting hole 10. The reinforcing rib 8 is used to increase the structural strength of the end plate body 4. In addition, various mounting holes 10 are reserved on the PACK end plate to facilitate the installation and use of the utility model in various products.
