Detailed Implementation

[0035] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0036] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0037] In the prior art, the battery pack is usually installed in the middle and rear part of the vehicle body. In order to ensure that the exposed battery pack connectors are not damaged by external factors (such as stone impacts, scratches, etc.), protective plates are usually installed around the battery pack connectors to extend the service life of the battery pack.

[0038] However, existing protective plates are usually connected to the front subframe. During vehicle operation, the relative movement between the front subframe and the vehicle body can easily cause cyclic loads on the protective plate, leading to fatigue damage. This manifests as sheet metal cracking at the installation location of the protective plate, shortening its service life and reducing its protective performance, resulting in the protective plate failing to effectively protect the battery pack.

[0039] To solve the above problems, combined with Figures 1-11 As shown, this application proposes a vehicle 1000, which has a first protective member 310 for protecting the plug portion of the battery pack. The first protective member 310 is connected to the main body of the battery pack and the vehicle body respectively, so that the vehicle body supports the first protective member 310. In this way, during the driving of the vehicle 1000, fatigue damage to the first protective member 310 caused by the shaking of the front subframe 400 can be avoided to a certain extent, extending the service life of the first protective member 310 and thus ensuring the working performance of the first protective member 310 to a certain extent. This solves the technical problem in the prior art that the sheet metal at the installation position of the protective plate is prone to cracking during the driving of the vehicle.

[0040] The vehicle 1000 of this utility model is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, vehicle 1000 includes a first protective component 310.

[0042] The first protective component 310 is connected to the main body of the battery pack and the vehicle body, and is used to protect the plug-in part of the battery pack.

[0043] It should be noted that the battery pack mentioned here can be understood as a power unit that provides power to the vehicle 1000. The battery pack is suitable for being installed in the vehicle 1000 so that it can provide power to the vehicle 1000 for starting, navigation and driving, and to a certain extent ensure the working performance of the vehicle 1000.

[0044] It should be noted that the battery pack mentioned here can be understood as including the battery module and the casing, or only including the battery module.

[0045] In some embodiments, the battery pack includes a main body and a connector, the connector being electrically connected to the main body. The connector is used to enable electrical connection between the battery cells or modules in the main body and external devices, ensuring normal transmission of current and voltage, and to a certain extent guaranteeing the working performance of the battery pack.

[0046] By using the first protective component 310 to protect the connector of the battery pack, the connector can be protected from impacts and scratches by external objects (such as stones) to a certain extent, and the wiring harness of the connector can be prevented from getting wet to a certain extent, thus extending the service life of the connector and improving the safety of the connector, thereby extending the service life of the battery pack and reducing the cost of using the connector.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first protective member 310 is disposed below the plug portion and directly opposite the plug portion, so as to protect the plug portion by means of the first protective member 310.

[0048] It is also worth noting that this application connects the first protective component 310 to the main body of the battery pack and the vehicle body respectively, thereby enabling the first protective component 310 to be connected to the vehicle body. This achieves the cooperative connection between the first protective component 310 and the vehicle body, thereby utilizing the vehicle body to support the first protective component 310, improving the positional stability of the first protective component 310, and ensuring the working performance of the first protective component 310 to a certain extent.

[0049] It is worth noting that during the driving of the vehicle 1000, because the position of the vehicle body is relatively stable, by connecting the first protective component 310 to the vehicle body, the cyclic load on the first protective component 310 during the driving of the vehicle 1000 can be avoided to a certain extent, thus preventing the first protective component 310 from being fatigued and damaged. This also helps to prevent sheet metal cracking at the connection between the first protective component 310 and the vehicle body, extending the service life of the first protective component 310 and significantly improving the durability of the first protective component 310, thereby ensuring the working performance of the first protective component 310 to a certain extent.

[0050] As can be seen from the above structure, the vehicle 1000 of this utility model embodiment uses the first protective member 310 to protect the plug part of the battery pack, so as to avoid the impact and scratch of external foreign objects (such as stones) on the plug part to a certain extent, and to prevent the wiring harness of the plug part from getting wet to a certain extent, thereby extending the service life of the plug part, and thus extending the service life of the battery pack, and reducing the use cost of the plug part.

[0051] Meanwhile, this application connects the first protective component 310 to the vehicle body, thereby enabling the vehicle body to directly support the first protective component 310. This not only improves the positional stability of the first protective component 310, but also avoids fatigue damage to the first protective component 310 during vehicle 1000 operation to a certain extent, extends the service life of the first protective component 310, and significantly improves the durability of the first protective component 310, thus ensuring the working performance of the first protective component 310 to a certain extent.

[0052] It is understandable that, compared to the prior art where the first protective component 310 is connected to the front subframe 400 of the vehicle 1000, this application connects the first protective component 310 to the body of the vehicle 1000. This not only improves the positional stability of the first protective component 310, but also avoids fatigue damage to the first protective component 310 during the vehicle 1000's operation to a certain extent, extending the service life of the first protective component 310, thereby ensuring the working performance of the first protective component 310 to a certain extent.

[0053] In some embodiments, the battery pack is located under the vehicle body. This not only places the battery pack in the vehicle 1000, but also lowers the center of gravity of the vehicle 1000, which helps improve the driving stability of the vehicle 1000. At the same time, it avoids the battery pack occupying the original interior space, making the interior space more spacious and improving passenger comfort.

[0054] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the first protective component 310 is a protective plate. The protective plate reduces the molding difficulty of the first protective component 310, and also enables the first protective component 310 to effectively protect the plug part of the battery pack, extend the service life of the plug part, and thus extend the service life of the battery pack.

[0055] In some embodiments, the first protective member 310 is made of steel to improve the structural strength of the first protective member 310.

[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the vehicle 1000 also includes a connecting bracket 321, which is used to connect the first protective member 310 to the vehicle body. This enables the first protective member 310 to be connected to the vehicle body, thereby allowing the vehicle body to support the first protective member 310, improving the positional stability of the first protective member 310, and facilitating the protection of the connector by the first protective member 310, thus extending the service life of the connector.

[0057] At the same time, by using the connecting bracket 321 to connect the first protective component 310 to the vehicle body, the difficulty of connecting the first protective component 310 to the vehicle body can be reduced.

[0058] In some embodiments, the connecting bracket 321 is made of steel to improve the structural strength of the connecting bracket 321.

[0059] In some embodiments, the connecting bracket 321 is detachably connected to the first protective member 310 via a first fastener. This detachable connection between the connecting bracket 321 and the first protective member 310 reduces the difficulty of connecting them, thereby facilitating the connection between the first protective member 310 and the vehicle body using the connecting bracket 321 and reducing the difficulty of connecting the first protective member 310 to the vehicle body.

[0060] Meanwhile, by detachably connecting the connecting bracket 321 to the first protective component 310, the first protective component 310 can also be detachably fitted with the vehicle body, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembling and disassembling the first protective component 310 and facilitating the maintenance and replacement of the first protective component 310.

[0061] In some embodiments, the first fastener is a first fastening bolt or a first fastening screw, etc. The first fastener passes through the first protective member 310 and is fixedly connected to the connecting bracket 321, so as to realize the detachable connection between the connecting bracket 321 and the first protective member 310 by using the first fastener, reducing the connection difficulty between the connecting bracket 321 and the first protective member 310, and ensuring the connection strength between the connecting bracket 321 and the first protective member 310 to a certain extent, so that the relative position of the connecting bracket 321 and the first protective member 310 is stable.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the connecting bracket 321 is provided with a first mounting hole 3212, and the first protective member 310 is provided with a second mounting hole 311 that mates with the first mounting hole 3212. The first fastener passes through the second mounting hole 311 and is fixedly connected to the first mounting hole 3212, so as to realize the detachable connection between the connecting bracket 321 and the first protective member 310 by using the first fastener.

[0063] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the vehicle 1000 also includes a connecting bushing 322, and the connecting bracket 321 is connected to the vehicle body through the connecting bushing 322. This can be understood as the connecting bushing 322 being adapted to connect to the vehicle body of the vehicle 1000, and the connecting bracket 321 connecting to the connecting bushing 322, thereby connecting the connecting bracket 321 to the vehicle body of the vehicle 1000 through the connecting bushing 322. This reduces the difficulty of connecting the connecting bracket 321 to the vehicle body while also stabilizing the position of the connecting bracket 321 relative to the vehicle body, thus improving the positional stability of the connecting bracket 321. In this way, the first protective component 310 can be connected to the vehicle body using the connecting bracket 321, reducing the difficulty of connecting the first protective component 310 to the vehicle body.

[0064] In specific examples, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the connecting bracket 321 and the connecting bushing 322 cooperate to form the connecting member 320. The first protective member 310 is connected to the connecting bracket 321 of the connecting member 320. The connecting bracket 321 is connected to the body of the vehicle 1000 through the connecting bushing 322, thereby realizing the cooperative connection between the first protective member 310 and the body.

[0065] In some embodiments, combined with Figures 5-10 As shown, one of the connecting bracket 321 and the connecting bushing 322 is provided with a buckle 3211, and the other is provided with a slot 3221. The buckle 3211 is engaged in the slot 3221. This enables the connecting bracket 321 and the connecting bushing 322 to be connected, and reduces the difficulty of connecting the connecting bracket 321 and the connecting bushing 322. This facilitates the connection between the first protective component 310 and the vehicle body using the connecting bracket 321 and the connecting bushing 322, thus reducing the difficulty of connecting the first protective component 310 to the vehicle body.

[0066] It should be noted that by engaging the buckle 3211 within the slot 3221 to achieve the connection between the connecting bracket 321 and the connecting bushing 322, the difficulty of connecting the connecting bracket 321 and the connecting bushing 322 is reduced. This also allows the connecting bracket 321 and the connecting bushing 322 to form a detachable connection, thereby enabling the first protective component 310 to form a detachable connection with the vehicle body. This reduces the difficulty of installing and removing the first protective component 310, facilitates maintenance and replacement of the first protective component 310, ensures the performance of the first protective component 310, and ultimately enables the first protective component 310 to effectively protect the connector and extend the service life of the battery pack.

[0067] In some embodiments, combined with Figures 5-10 As shown, the connecting bracket 321 is provided with a buckle 3211, and the connecting bushing 322 is provided with a groove 3221 that cooperates with the buckle 3211. The buckle 3211 is engaged in the groove 3221 to realize the connection between the connecting bracket 321 and the connecting bushing 322.

[0068] Of course, in some other embodiments, a buckle 3211 may be provided on the connecting bushing 322, and a slot 3221 (not shown in the example figure) that cooperates with the buckle 3211 may be provided on the connecting bracket 321. In this way, the buckle 3211 can be snapped into the slot 3221, and the connecting bracket 321 and the connecting bushing 322 can be connected.

[0069] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the connecting bracket 321 is provided with multiple clips 3211, such as... Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the connecting bushing 322 is provided with multiple slots 3221, and multiple buckles 3211 engage with the multiple slots 3221 one by one. While realizing the connection between the connecting bracket 321 and the connecting bushing 322, it can also improve the connection strength between the connecting bracket 321 and the connecting bushing 322, so that the relative position of the connecting bracket 321 and the connecting bushing 322 is stable, thereby stabilizing the relative position of the first protective member 310 with the vehicle body. This allows the vehicle body to stably support the first protective member 310, improving the positional stability of the first protective member 310 and enabling the first protective member 310 to effectively protect the insertion part.

[0070] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0071] In specific examples, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the connecting bracket 321 is provided with two latches 3211, which are arranged opposite each other in the radial direction of the connecting bracket 321, as follows. Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the connecting bushing 322 is provided with two slots 3221, and two buckles 3211 engage with the two slots 3221 one by one. This allows the connection strength between the connecting bracket 321 and the connecting bushing 322 to be improved with a smaller number of buckles 3211.

[0072] In summary, the vehicle 1000 of this application includes a connecting bracket 321 and a connecting bushing 322. The connecting bracket 321 and the connecting bushing 322 are connected in a detachable manner by a buckle 3211 and a slot 3221. The connecting bracket 321 is detachably connected to the first protective member 310 by a first fastener. The connecting bushing 322 is connected to the vehicle body. While connecting the first protective member 310 to the vehicle body, it also allows the first protective member 310 to be detachably connected to the vehicle body, reducing the difficulty of connecting the first protective member 310 to the vehicle body. This makes it easier to use the vehicle body to support the first protective member 310 and improves the positional stability of the first protective member 310.

[0073] In some embodiments, the vehicle 1000 further includes a second fastener, which passes through the connecting bushing 322 and is fixedly connected to the vehicle body. This enables the connecting bushing 322 to be connected to the vehicle body and reduces the difficulty of connecting the connecting bushing 322 to the vehicle body, thereby facilitating the connection of the first protective member 310 to the vehicle body using the connecting member 320, further reducing the difficulty of connecting the first protective member 310 to the vehicle body.

[0074] In some embodiments, the second fastener is a second fastening bolt or a second fastening screw, etc. The second fastener passes through the connecting bushing 322 and is fixedly connected to the vehicle body. The second fastener is used to achieve a fixed connection between the connecting bushing 322 and the vehicle body, reducing the difficulty of connecting the connecting bushing 322 and the vehicle body, and ensuring the connection strength between the connecting bushing 322 and the vehicle body to a certain extent. This makes the relative position of the connecting bushing 322 and the vehicle body stable, thereby making the relative position of the first protective member 310 and the vehicle body stable and improving the positional stability of the first protective member 310.

[0075] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the connecting bushing 322 is provided with a third mounting hole 3222, and the second fastener passes through the third mounting hole 3222 and is fixedly connected to the vehicle body, so as to realize the fixed connection between the connecting bushing 322 and the vehicle body by means of the second fastener.

[0076] Meanwhile, by inserting the second fastener through the connecting bushing 322 and fixing it to the vehicle body, a detachable connection between the connecting bushing 322 and the vehicle body can be achieved. This allows the first protective component 310 to form a detachable fit with the vehicle body, reducing the difficulty of assembling and disassembling the first protective component 310 and facilitating its maintenance and replacement.

[0077] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the connecting bracket 321 includes a first connecting plate 3214 and a second connecting plate 3215, which are connected to each other. The first connecting plate 3214 is connected to the first protective member 310, and the second connecting plate 3215 is positioned opposite the connecting bushing 322. A second fastener passes through the second connecting plate 3215 and the connecting bushing 322 in sequence and is fixedly connected to the vehicle body. By connecting the first connecting plate 3214 to the first protective member 310, the connecting bracket 321 and the first protective member 310 can be connected, reducing the difficulty of connecting the connecting bracket 321 and the first protective member 310. This reduces the difficulty of connecting the connecting member 320 and the first protective member 310, making it easier to use the connecting member 320 to connect the first protective member 310 to the vehicle body.

[0078] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the first mounting hole 3212 is provided on the first connecting plate 3214, and the first fastener passes through the second mounting hole 311 on the first protective member 310 and is fixedly connected to the first mounting hole 3212. The first fastener is used to realize the mating connection between the first connecting plate 3214 and the first protective member 310, thereby realizing the mating connection between the connecting bracket 321 and the first protective member 310, reducing the difficulty of connecting the connecting member 320 and the first protective member 310.

[0079] Meanwhile, by passing the second fastener through the second connecting plate 3215 and the connecting bushing 322 in sequence and fixing it to the vehicle body, the second connecting plate 3215 and the connecting bushing 322 are fixedly connected to the vehicle body, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the connector 320 and the vehicle body.

[0080] In addition, by passing the second fastener through the second connecting plate 3215 and the connecting bushing 322 in sequence and fixing it to the vehicle body, it is possible to eliminate the need to set a fastener between the connecting bracket 321 and the connecting bushing 322, simplify the structure of the connector 320, and reduce the difficulty of connecting the connecting bracket 321 and the connecting bushing 322.

[0081] It should be noted that the second connecting plate 3215 is positioned directly opposite the connecting bushing 322 in this application, which facilitates the sequential passing of the second fastener through the second connecting plate 3215 and the connecting bushing 322 to fix it to the vehicle body, thereby reducing the difficulty of fixing the second connecting plate 3215 and the connecting bushing 322 to the vehicle body.

[0082] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, the second connecting plate 3215 is provided with a fourth mounting hole 3213, which is directly opposite to the third mounting hole 3222 on the connecting bushing 322. The second fastener passes through the fourth mounting hole 3213 and the third mounting hole 3222 in sequence and is fixedly connected to the vehicle body, so as to realize the fixed connection between the second connecting plate 3215, the connecting bushing 322 and the vehicle body by means of the second fastener.

[0083] In the description of this utility model, the features defined by "first", "second", "third" and "fourth" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features, used to distinguish the descriptive features, without any order or importance.

[0084] With the above settings, during the specific assembly process of the connector 320 with the vehicle body, the connector bracket 321 and the connector bushing 322 can be initially positioned by using the buckle 3211 and the slot 3221. After positioning, the second fastener is passed through the fourth assembly hole 3213 and the third assembly hole 3222 in sequence and fixedly connected to the vehicle body to realize the connection between the connector 320 and the vehicle body. Then, the connector 320 is fixedly connected to the first protective component 310 to realize the fixed connection between the first protective component 310 and the vehicle body, reducing the difficulty of connecting the first protective component 310 and the vehicle body.

[0085] It should be noted that the first protective component 310 is connected to the vehicle body through the connector 320. Compared with directly connecting the first protective component 310 to the vehicle body, this can avoid damage to the first protective component 310 caused by the second fastener, and can also reduce the thickness of the first protective component 310 to achieve lightweight design and reduce the cost of the first protective component 310.

[0086] With the above settings, the thickness of the first protective component 310 can be controlled between 0.8mm and 1mm, and the thickness of the connecting bracket 321 is greater than 2mm, so as to avoid deformation of the connecting bracket 321 during connection to a certain extent.

[0087] In some embodiments, the first connecting plate 3214 and the second connecting plate 3215 are formed as a single piece. This improves the connection strength between the first connecting plate 3214 and the second connecting plate 3215, stabilizes their relative positions, and thus stabilizes the structure of the connecting bracket 321, facilitating a stable connection between the connecting bracket 321 and the first protective member 310. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for a mating connection between the first connecting plate 3214 and the second connecting plate 3215, reducing the molding difficulty of the connecting bracket 321.

[0088] Of course, in some other embodiments, the first connecting plate 3214 and the second connecting plate 3215 can also be formed as separate parts, that is, the first connecting plate 3214 and the second connecting plate 3215 are processed and formed separately. After the first connecting plate 3214 and the second connecting plate 3215 are processed and formed, the first connecting plate 3214 and the second connecting plate 3215 are then welded, bonded, etc., which also facilitates the formation of the connecting bracket 321.

[0089] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, at least a portion of the second connecting plate 3215 protrudes towards the connecting bushing 322, forming a limiting groove 3216 on the side of the second connecting plate 3215 opposite to the connecting bushing 322. At least a portion of the second fastener is disposed within the limiting groove 3216, which restricts the second fastener from rotating circumferentially. This achieves the purpose of fixing the second fastener, improving its positional stability, and to a certain extent preventing it from loosening. This allows for a stable connection between the connecting bracket 321, the connecting bushing 322, and the vehicle body using the second fastener, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the first protective component 310 and the vehicle body, and improving the positional stability of the first protective component 310.

[0090] Meanwhile, by setting at least a portion of the second connecting plate 3215 to protrude toward the connecting bushing 322, a partial inward recess of the second connecting plate 3215 can be formed to create a reinforcing structure, thereby enhancing the strength of the second connecting plate 3215, strengthening the connecting bracket 321, extending the service life of the connecting bracket 321, and facilitating the fixed connection between the first protective component 310 and the vehicle body using the connecting bracket 321.

[0091] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, at least a portion of the second connecting plate 3215 protrudes toward the connecting bushing 322 to form a limiting rib 3217 in the circumference of the second connecting plate 3215. At least a portion of the limiting rib 3217 protrudes toward the limiting groove 3216 and engages with the second fastener to restrict the second fastener from rotating in its circumference by using the limiting groove 3216, thereby improving the positional stability of the second fastener and ensuring the fixing effect of the second fastener to a certain extent.

[0092] In some embodiments, the second connecting plate 3215 is formed by stamping process, so as to form a limiting groove 3216 on the side of the second connecting plate 3215 away from the connecting bushing 322, thereby reducing the forming difficulty of the limiting groove 3216.

[0093] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 11 As shown, the first protective member 310 is provided with at least one reinforcing rib 312. The reinforcing rib 312 is used to improve the structural strength of the first protective member 310, thereby extending the service life of the first protective member 310 and enabling the first protective member 310 to effectively protect the plug-in part, so as to ensure the working performance of the first protective member 310 and extend the service life of the plug-in part.

[0094] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 As shown, the first protective component 310 is provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs 312. The combination of the plurality of reinforcing ribs 312 can significantly improve the structural strength of the first protective component 310, thereby extending the service life of the first protective component 310, and enabling the first protective component 310 to effectively protect the plug-in part and ensure the working performance of the first protective component 310.

[0095] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 11 As shown, the vehicle 1000 also includes a second protective component 330, which is disposed on the main body of the battery pack to protect the main body. This helps to prevent external objects (such as stones) from impacting or scratching the main body, extending the service life of the main body, thereby extending the service life of the battery pack and reducing the operating cost of the main body.

[0096] In some embodiments, the second protective member 330 is disposed on the main body portion and located below and directly opposite the main body portion, so as to protect the main body portion by means of the second protective member 330.

[0097] In summary, the vehicle 1000 of this application includes a first protective component 310 and a second protective component 330. The first protective component 310 is used to protect the plug-in portion, and the second protective component 330 is used to protect the main body portion. This achieves the goal of using the first protective component 310 and the second protective component 330 in conjunction to protect the battery pack, thereby extending the service life of the battery pack and improving the safety of the battery pack.

[0098] Furthermore, by providing the second protective member 330 on the main body, the main body can support the second protective member 330, thereby improving the positional stability of the second protective member 330 and enabling the second protective member 330 to effectively protect the main body of the battery pack.

[0099] The second protective component 330 mentioned here being located on the main body can be understood as the second protective component 330 being connected to the outer shell of the main body by means of bonding, snap-fitting, or bolting.

[0100] Optionally, the first protective member 310 and the second protective member 330 are connected in a mating connection. This allows the first protective member 310 to be connected to both the second protective member 330 and the vehicle body. Since the second protective member 330 is located on the main body, the first protective member 310 is connected to the main body, reducing the difficulty of connecting the first protective member 310 to the main body. This allows the first protective member 310 to be connected to both the main body and the vehicle body, facilitating the use of the main body and the vehicle body to support the first protective member 310, improving the positional stability of the first protective member 310, and thus facilitating the protection of the connector by the first protective member 310.

[0101] Of course, in some other embodiments, the end of the first protective member 310 facing away from the vehicle body can also be directly bonded, snapped or bolted to the outer shell of the main body, so as to connect the first protective member 310 to the main body and the vehicle body respectively.

[0102] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 11 As shown, the first protective member 310 has multiple mounting holes 313 at one end facing the second protective member 330. The first protective member 310 is fixedly connected to the second protective member 330 by third fasteners passing through the mounting holes 313. This achieves a fixed connection between the first protective member 310 and the second protective member 330, reduces the difficulty of connecting the first protective member 310 and the second protective member 330, and facilitates the use of the second protective member 330 to support the first protective member 310, thereby improving the positional stability of the first protective member 310.

[0103] In some embodiments, the third fastener is a third fastening bolt or a third fastening screw, etc. The third fastener passes through the mounting hole 313 and is fixedly connected to the second protective member 330, so as to realize the fixed connection between the first protective member 310 and the second protective member 330 by using the third fastener, thereby reducing the difficulty of connecting the first protective member 310 and the second protective member 330.

[0104] Meanwhile, by using the third fastener to achieve a fixed connection between the first protective component 310 and the second protective component 330, the first protective component 310 and the second protective component 330 can also form a detachable connection, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembling and disassembling the first protective component 310 and facilitating the maintenance and replacement of the first protective component 310.

[0105] In addition, by providing multiple mounting holes 313 at one end of the first protective member 310 facing the second protective member 330, the first protective member 310 and the second protective member 330 can be fixedly connected by multiple third fasteners at the same time, so as to ensure the connection strength between the first protective member 310 and the second protective member 330 to a certain extent, and make the relative position of the first protective member 310 and the second protective member 330 stable.

[0106] In summary, the first protective component 310 of this application is detachably connected between the second protective component 330 and the vehicle body, making the first protective component 310 easy to assemble and disassemble. It also avoids fatigue damage to the first protective component 310 caused by bumps during vehicle 1000 operation, extending the service life of the first protective component 310 and significantly improving its durability. This ensures the working performance of the first protective component 310 to a certain extent, enabling the first protective component 310 to effectively protect the battery pack's connector, preventing the connector wiring harness from being submerged in water, impacted by foreign objects, or scratched by obstacles, thus avoiding damage to the connector and extending the battery pack's service life.

[0107] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the vehicle 1000 also includes a front subframe 400, which is flexibly connected to a connecting bushing 322. Because the connecting bushing 322 is connected to the vehicle body, the front subframe 400 can be connected to the vehicle body, reducing the difficulty of connecting the front subframe 400 to the vehicle body.

[0108] Meanwhile, the above connection method also allows the first protective component 310 to share a bushing for the connection between the vehicle body and the front subframe 400 and the vehicle body, avoiding the need to set a separate assembly bushing between the front subframe 400 and the vehicle body. This helps to simplify the structure of the vehicle 1000 and reduce the difficulty of connecting the front subframe 400 and the vehicle body.

[0109] It is worth noting that this application sets the front subframe 400 and the connecting bushing 322 in a flexible connection so that the front subframe 400 can sway relative to the connecting bushing 322. This avoids the connecting bushing 322 from swaying when the front subframe 400 sways, thereby improving the positional stability of the connecting bushing 322. This also improves the relative stability between the first protective component 310 and the connecting bushing 322 to a certain extent, preventing fatigue damage to the first protective component 310 caused by bumps during vehicle 1000 operation and extending the service life of the first protective component 310.

[0110] In some embodiments, an elastic bushing is provided on the outer periphery of the connecting bushing 322. One end of the elastic bushing is fixedly connected to the connecting bushing 322, and the other end of the elastic bushing is fixedly connected to the front subframe 400. The elastic bushing can deform under the action of external force, thereby realizing the flexible connection between the front subframe 400 and the connecting bushing 322 and reducing the difficulty of the flexible connection between the front subframe 400 and the connecting bushing 322.

[0111] The elastic bushing mentioned here can be understood as a rubber bushing, spring, etc.

[0112] It should also be emphasized that, because the battery pack is located on the vehicle body, it is relatively close to the vehicle body. The first protective member 310 is used to protect the plug part of the battery pack. By connecting the first protective member 310 to the main body and the vehicle body respectively, compared with connecting the first protective member 310 to the main body and the front subframe 400 respectively (e.g., the end of the first protective member 310 away from the main body is connected to the center of the front subframe 400), it is also beneficial to reduce the size of the first protective member 310, thereby reducing the weight of the first protective member 310 and improving the driving performance and range of the vehicle 1000.

[0113] The vehicle 1000 of this application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0114] The vehicle 1000 mentioned here can be a pure electric vehicle or a hybrid vehicle.

[0115] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the vehicle 1000 includes a body, a battery pack, a first protective member 310, a connector 320, and a second protective member 330. The battery pack is located on the body and includes a main body and a plug-in part for electrical connection. The battery pack is used to supply power to the vehicle 1000.

[0116] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 11As shown, the second protective member 330 is provided on the main body and is used to protect the main body. The first protective member 310 has a plurality of mounting holes 313 at one end facing the second protective member 330. The first protective member 310 is fixedly connected to the second protective member 330 by a third fastener passing through the mounting holes 313. The end of the first protective member 310 away from the second protective member 330 is connected to the vehicle body through a connector 320. The first protective member 310 has a plurality of reinforcing ribs 312 and is used to protect the plug-in part.

[0117] Combination Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, the connector 320 includes a connecting bracket 321 and a connecting bushing 322. The connecting bracket 321 includes a first connecting plate 3214 and a second connecting plate 3215 that are connected to each other. The first connecting plate 3214 and the second connecting plate 3215 are formed as a single piece. The first connecting plate 3214 is detachably connected to the first protective member 310 by a first fastener. The second connecting plate 3215 is positioned opposite the connecting bushing 322. The second connecting plate 3215 is provided with two buckles 3211, and the connecting bushing 322 is provided with two slots 3221. The buckles 3211 are engaged in the slots 3221. The second fastener passes through the second connecting plate 3215 and the connecting bushing 322 in sequence and is fixedly connected to the vehicle body.

[0118] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, at least a portion of the second connecting plate 3215 protrudes toward the connecting bushing 322 to form a limiting groove 3216 on the side of the second connecting plate 3215 away from the connecting bushing 322. At least a portion of the second fastener is disposed in the limiting groove 3216, which is used to restrict the second fastener from rotating circumferentially.
