Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, and in particular to a battery limiting structure, a vehicle-mounted TBOX, and an automobile. Background Technology

[0002] In the modern automotive industry, the T-Box (Telematics Box) is a key technology, bearing the important responsibility of intelligent vehicle management. It not only handles functions such as vehicle positioning, navigation, and information transmission, but also plays an indispensable role in safety, fault diagnosis, and remote control. To ensure the stability and reliability of the T-Box under various extreme temperature conditions, the performance of its battery is particularly important. Specifically, the battery used in the T-Box must be able to operate normally within a wide temperature range of -40℃ to +85℃, which places higher demands on battery materials and design.

[0003] Currently, T-Boxes primarily use wide-temperature nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries. The advantage of these batteries lies in their ability to operate normally in harsh environments, while also offering good safety and reliability. Depending on the battery capacity, T-Box batteries are available in different models, such as 500mAh, 600mAh, and 1000mAh, to meet the needs of various applications. Batteries of different capacities often have different structural dimensions and require different structural components to match their installation. For example, the battery mounting slot and battery cover need to be designed differently for different battery models and sizes. This not only increases the complexity of the design work but also prolongs the product development cycle, leading to wasted resources and reduced efficiency. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0032] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The present invention is not limited to this embodiment; other embodiments that conform to the spirit of the present invention may also fall within its scope.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, based on the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art, a battery limiting structure is provided, such as... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it includes:

[0034] Battery compartment 1, with a first limiting groove 11 provided on at least two adjacent inner sides of battery compartment 1;

[0035] Battery cover 2 is placed above battery compartment 1, and a second limiting groove 21 is provided on the side of battery cover 2 facing battery compartment 1;

[0036] Elastic elements 3 are installed at the locations of the first limiting groove 11 and the second limiting groove 21, respectively.

[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, one or more first limiting grooves 11 for fixing the elastic element 3 are designed on the adjacent two sides of the battery compartment 1, so that the other two sides of the battery 8 are tightly abutted against the inner wall of the battery compartment 1, thereby achieving positioning of the battery 8 around its perimeter. At the same time, one or more second limiting grooves 21 for fixing the elastic element 3 are designed on the inner surface of the battery cover 2. When the battery cover 2 is closed, the elastic element 3 on the inner surface presses the battery 8 tightly against the bottom of the battery compartment 1, thereby achieving positioning of the upper and lower sides of the battery 8. In this embodiment, the design of the first limiting grooves 11 on two adjacent inner sides is only an example and is not a limitation. The first limiting grooves 11 can be designed on three or even four inner sides of the battery compartment 1 as needed, as long as it can accommodate the fixing and installation of batteries 8 of different lengths and widths.

[0038] Based on the aforementioned battery limiting structure, if the model of battery 8 changes during the development process, it is possible to cleverly adapt to the fixing and installation of different models of battery 8 by changing the thickness of the elastic element 3 without changing the main structural component. This avoids the mold repair or mold opening costs caused by structural component changes and can effectively shorten the design change time.

[0039] More specifically, such as Figures 5 to 7 As shown, it can be seen that Figure 6 The width W2 of the middle battery 8 is less than Figure 5 The width W1 of the middle battery 8, Figure 6 The length L2 of the middle battery 8 is less than Figure 5 The length L1 of the middle battery 8, Figure 7 The width W3 of the middle battery 8 is less than Figure 6 The width W2 of the middle battery 8 Figure 7 The length L3 of the middle battery 8 is less than Figure 6 The length L2 of the middle battery 8. At this time, Figure 5 Based on this, by replacing the elastic element 3 in the first limiting groove 11 and the second limiting groove 21 with a relatively thicker elastic element 3, the filling... Figure 6 Compared to Figure 5 The battery size difference can be used to install accordingly. Figure 6 The battery in the middle does not require replacement of the main structural components. Similarly, in Figure 5 Based on this, by replacing the elastic element 3 in the first limiting groove 11 and the second limiting groove 21 with a thicker elastic element 3, the filling... Figure 7 Compared to Figure 5 The battery size difference can be used to install accordingly. Figure 7 The battery in the system does not require replacement of the main structural components. This allows the same main structure to be compatible with three different battery models.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, each inner side surface is provided with one or more first limiting grooves 11.

[0041] Specifically, the number of the first limiting slots 11 can be adjusted according to requirements, such as... Figure 1 As shown, a first limiting groove 11 is provided on one of the inner sides of the battery compartment 1, and two first limiting grooves 11 are provided on the adjacent inner side. However, this is only an example and is not intended to limit the scope. Similarly, there can be one or more second limiting grooves 21, and their specific number can be adjusted according to requirements.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the elastic element 3 is fixed in the first limiting groove 11 and the second limiting groove 21 by double-sided adhesive 4.

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, the elastic element 3 is fixed within the first limiting groove 11 and the second limiting groove 21 using double-sided adhesive 4. This ensures that the first limiting groove 11 and the second limiting groove 21 only limit the left and right sides of the elastic element 3, without restricting its thickness, thus facilitating replacement of the elastic element 3. It is understood that, in addition to replacing the elastic element 3, when the width or length of the battery 8 needs to be reduced and a thicker elastic element 3 is required, this can be achieved by superimposing another elastic element 3 on the existing one. The two elastic elements 3 can also be fixed together using double-sided adhesive 4. In this case, the thicknesses of the two elastic elements 3 can be the same or different.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the elastic element 3 is made of an elastic material, including silicone or rubber.

[0045] Specifically, in this embodiment, the elastic element 3 only needs to be elastic enough to meet the functional requirements, and is not limited to using only silicone or rubber elastic materials.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the elastic element 3 is a cuboid or a cylinder.

[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, the shape of the elastic element 3 can be selected according to requirements, and the thickness should not be too thin. The thickness of the elastic element should be designed with consideration of the hardness of the selected material.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the battery compartment 1 includes a first compartment body 12, and a second compartment body 13 is embedded in the first compartment body 12, with each first limiting groove 11 disposed on the inner side surface of the second compartment body 13.

[0049] The first compartment 12 is provided with a plurality of mounting posts 14 in the outer area of ​​the second compartment 13, and the mounting posts 14 are provided with threaded holes.

[0050] like Figure 8 As shown, the battery cover 2 has holes, and the screw 9 passes through the holes and is threaded into the corresponding threaded holes to fix the battery cover 2 above the battery compartment 1.

[0051] This utility model also provides a vehicle-mounted TBOX, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, it includes:

[0052] The lower housing 5 is covered by an upper housing 6, and a circuit board 7 is provided in the cavity formed by the upper housing 6 and the lower housing 5.

[0053] The battery limiting structure described above is provided on the side of the upper housing 6 away from the lower housing 5. The battery compartment 1 and the battery cover 2 in the battery limiting structure form a cavity in which the battery 8 is housed.

[0054] This utility model also provides a car, including the above-mentioned vehicle-mounted TBOX.

[0055] Specifically, in this embodiment, the application scenarios and requirements of in-vehicle T-BOXs in automotive products are constantly changing. During the product development stage, design changes frequently occur to meet market demands. The battery limiting structure design provided by this utility model can effectively address the changing needs of battery selection, effectively saving design change time and efficiently realizing solution changes. In addition, there are currently a large number of car manufacturers and car models. Different car models often require in-vehicle T-BOXs with different functions to meet user needs. Different in-vehicle T-BOXs with different functions often use different battery models to optimize costs, resulting in a variety of matching structural components. The battery limiting structure design provided by this utility model can maximize the sharing of structural components by only changing the elastic component, effectively saving time and cost in developing new structural components.

[0056] In summary, the battery limiting structure of this utility model is simple, ingenious, and flexible in application. It can effectively realize the sharing of main structural components in multiple application scenarios, reduce development costs, and save development time.

[0057] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the implementation method and protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should realize that all solutions obtained by equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made using the content of this specification and illustrations should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
