[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of battery, in particular to a battery device and a power utilization device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, new energy vehicles have made a leap in development. In the field of electric vehicles, the battery device plays an irreplaceable important role as the power source of electric vehicles. Among them, the battery device as the core part of new energy vehicles has higher requirements in terms of energy density and reliability. However, with the increase of battery energy density, the change of active substances in the battery leads to the increase of the expansion force of the battery cell. In the related technology, the battery pack is usually connected by welding or screwing between the expansion beam and the box body, which is easy to cause stress concentration between the expansion beam and the box body, and thus may affect the safety and overall performance of the battery pack. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0003] The present application aims to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present application provides a battery device and a power utilization device comprising the battery device. The bottom plate and the beam body of the box body are connected through a mortise and tenon structure, which can improve the anti-expansion ability of the box body and thus improve the reliability and stability of the battery device.

[0004] In the first aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a battery device. The battery device comprises a battery monomer and a box body. The box body comprises a box body and a beam body. The box body has a receiving cavity for accommodating the battery monomer. The beam body is installed in the receiving cavity. The box body comprises a bottom plate and a plurality of side plates which are connected in sequence around the periphery of the bottom plate. The beam body is connected to the bottom plate through a mortise and tenon structure.

[0005] In the above technical manner, the bottom plate and the beam body of the box body are connected through a mortise and tenon structure, so that the bottom plate and the beam body have good connection strength. When the battery monomer expands, the expansion force borne by the beam body can be well transmitted to the bottom plate, so that the expansion force can be well decomposed and transmitted. The anti-expansion ability of the box body can be improved, and thus the reliability and stability of the battery device can be improved.

[0006] In some embodiments, the plurality of side plates are all profile frames, and at least one end of the beam body is connected to the side plate through the mortise and tenon structure.

[0007] In the above technical manner, the side plate is a profile frame, which can have good structural strength and is not easy to be damaged. Therefore, it can well resist the expansion force transmitted from the beam body, has high reliability and good stability, and can well decompose the expansion force formed by the battery monomer, so that the battery device has good reliability and stability.

[0008] In some embodiments, the bottom plate has a heat exchange channel.

[0009] In the above technical manner, the heat exchange manner of the application is to perform heat exchange at the bottom of the battery device, and the heat exchange plate in the application can be directly configured as a bottom plate to carry the battery monomer. In the related art, the bottom plate and the heat exchange plate are often separately arranged. In the application, one plate is equivalent to being reduced, and the battery device can be thinned.

[0010] In some embodiments, the bottom plate includes a water-cooled plate and a reinforcing beam, the water-cooled plate has a heat exchange channel, and the two ends of the reinforcing beam are connected with the two side plates respectively, wherein the beam body and the water-cooled plate are connected through the mortise and tenon structure, and / or the water-cooled plate is provided with a avoiding hole, and the mortise and tenon structure passes through the avoiding hole to connect the beam body and the reinforcing beam.

[0011] In the above technical manner, the connection between the beam body, the water-cooled plate and the reinforcing beam can be arranged according to actual needs. When the battery monomer forms an expansion force, the beam body can better decompose the acting force towards the water-cooled plate and the reinforcing beam, so as to better reduce the damage of the expansion force of the battery monomer to the box body.

[0012] In some embodiments, the box body is an integrated stamping part.

[0013] In the above technical manner, the box body formed by stamping has good structural consistency. After the beam body is connected with the box wall through the mortise and tenon structure, the beam body can better transmit the expansion force to the box wall, and then to the entire box body, which is beneficial to the decomposition of the expansion force. At the same time, the mortise and tenon structure can better reduce the stress concentration between the beam body and the box wall, and can better improve the reliability and stability of the box body.

[0014] In some embodiments, the mortise and tenon structure includes a tenon and a mortise hole, the tenon is arranged on one of the bottom plate and the beam body, and the mortise hole is arranged on the other one of the bottom plate and the beam body.

[0015] In the above technical manner, the concave-convex engagement structure formed between the bottom plate and the beam body can better improve the connection stability between the bottom plate and the beam body, can reduce the risk of loosening between the bottom plate and the beam body in long-term charge and discharge cycles, and can better improve the overall anti-deformation capability and service life of the box body, so as to better provide a continuous and stable working environment for the battery monomer, and then improve the reliability and stability of the battery device.

[0016] In some embodiments, the beam body extends along a first direction, and in the first direction, the end of the beam body is configured as the tenon, and the side plate is formed with a recess configured as the mortise, and the end of the beam body is completely accommodated in the recess.

[0017] In the above technical manner, the end of the beam body can be completely accommodated in the recess, without the need for special structural changes to the end of the beam body, which can reduce the processing difficulty of the beam body, and the end of the beam body is completely accommodated in the recess, which can better decompose the concentrated expansion force into compressive stress along the depth direction of the recess and shear stress along the circumferential direction of the hole wall, which can better reduce the stress concentration between the end of the beam body and the side plate, and can make the force more evenly distributed in the recess, which can better reduce the risk of loosening between the side plate and the beam body in long-term charge and discharge cycles.

[0018] In some embodiments, the beam body extends along a first direction, and in a second direction, the side wall of the beam body is formed with a protruding rib or a groove extending along the first direction, and in the second direction, the size H of the protruding rib or the groove satisfies: 0.5mm≤H≤5mm, and the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0019] In the above technical manner, by making the protruding rib or the groove satisfy the above size, the connection strength between the beam body and the box body can be better improved, thereby better improving the reliability and stability of the box.

[0020] In some embodiments, the beam body is an expansion beam, and the expansion beam is arranged on the side of the battery monomer, and the expansion beam is adapted to expand or contract.

[0021] In the above technical manner, when the battery monomer is charged and discharged to expand, the expansion beam can contract to absorb part of the expansion force, avoiding sudden increase of stress in the hard rigid structure to damage the battery monomer or the beam body; when the monomer contracts, the expansion beam can restore to maintain stable support, which can reduce the wear caused by the shaking of the battery monomer. After the expansion beam buffers the expansion force, the expansion beam can also disperse and transmit the remaining expansion force to the box body through the mortise and tenon structure, which can reduce the stress concentration between the beam body and the box body, and is conducive to improving the reliability and stability of the box.

[0022] In some embodiments, the beam body and the box body have a welding area to weld and connect the beam body and the box body, and / or the beam body and the box body each have a bolt hole to bolt and connect the beam body and the box body.

[0023] In the above technical manner, the beam body and the box body are connected through the mortise and tenon structure in combination with welding or bolt connection, which can further improve the reliability of the connection between the beam body and the box body, thereby being conducive to improving the reliability and stability of the box.

[0060] In recent years, new energy vehicles have made a leap in development. In the field of electric vehicles, the battery device plays an irreplaceable important role as the power source of the electric vehicle. Among them, the battery device as a core part of new energy vehicles has higher requirements in terms of energy density and reliability. However, with the increase of battery energy density, the change of active substances in the battery leads to the corresponding increase of the expansion force of the battery cell.

In the box body of the battery device, the box body and the beam body are connected through the mortise and tenon structure, so that the box body and the beam body have good connection strength. When the battery monomer expands, the expansion force borne by the beam body can be well transmitted to the box body, so that the expansion force can be well decomposed and transmitted, which can improve the anti-expansion ability of the box body, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the battery device.

The vehicle 1000 can be a fuel car, a gas car or a new energy car. The new energy car can be a pure electric car, a hybrid car or an extended range car, etc. The vehicle 1000 is provided with a battery device 100, which can be arranged at the bottom, head or tail of the vehicle 1000. The battery device 100 can be used for power supply of the vehicle 1000, for example, the battery device 100 can be used as the operating power supply of the vehicle 1000. The vehicle 1000 can also include a controller 200 and a motor 300, the controller 200 is used to control the battery device 100 to supply power to the motor 300, for example, for the working power demand of the vehicle 1000 during starting, navigation and driving.

[0065] The following refers to Figures 2-7 The battery device 100 according to the first aspect of the present application is described.

[0066] Please refer to Figures 2-5 , Figure 2 is a structure schematic diagram of one angle of the box body 2 according to the embodiments of the present application. Figure 3This is a structural schematic diagram of the housing 2 from another angle according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 4 yes Figure 3 A cross-sectional view along line AA. Figure 5 yes Figure 4 A magnified view of region C in the middle.

[0067] This application provides a battery device 100, such as... Figures 2-5 As shown, the battery device 100 includes a battery cell and a housing 2. The housing 2 includes a housing body 21 and a beam 22. The housing body 21 has a receiving cavity for receiving the battery cell. The beam 22 is installed in the receiving cavity. The housing body 21 includes a bottom plate 211 and a plurality of side plates 212 surrounding the bottom plate 211 and connected end to end. The beam 22 is connected to the bottom plate 211 by a tenon and mortise structure.

[0068] In other words, the battery cells can be placed inside the housing 21, which effectively protects them and reduces damage. The beam 22 is installed within the housing, effectively dividing it into a first area for housing the battery cells and a second area for housing the electronic control components. For example, multiple battery cells can be arranged to form a battery cell assembly. When the battery cells expand during charge / discharge cycles, the expansion force generated by the battery cells acts on the beam 22. The beam 22 and the base plate 211... The mortise and tenon structure connects the beam 22 and the base plate 211, creating multiple contact surfaces in various directions. This ensures a reliable connection between the beam 22 and the base plate 211, allowing for better transmission of expansion force from the beam 22 to the base plate 211. Furthermore, the multiple contact surfaces also help to decompose the expansion force during transmission, reducing its concentration at the connection point. This results in better reliability and stability for the housing 2, providing a more stable cavity for the battery cells.

[0069] In addition, the base plate 211 and the beam 22 of this application are connected by a mortise and tenon structure, which can reduce the use of connecting parts, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty and improving the assembly efficiency. Moreover, the mortise and tenon structure can be an interference fit connection structure, which can better improve the compactness of the connection.

[0070] In the above-mentioned technical method, the bottom plate 211 of the housing 2 is connected to the beam 22 by a mortise and tenon structure, which makes the connection between the bottom plate 211 and the beam 22 have good strength. When the battery cell expands, the expansion force borne by the beam 22 can be well transferred to the bottom plate 211, thereby effectively decomposing and transferring the expansion force, which can improve the expansion resistance of the housing 2, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the battery device 100.

[0071] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 is Figure 2 is an enlarged view of the A area in FIG. 1.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 7 The plurality of side plates 212 are profiled frames, and at least one end of the beam body 22 is connected to the side plate 212 through a mortise and tenon structure.

[0073] For example, the beam body 22 extends in the first direction X, and both ends of the beam body 22 can be connected to the side plate 212 through a mortise and tenon structure. On one side of the beam body 22 in the second direction Y, the beam body 22 can be connected to the bottom plate 211. In some free areas between the beam body 22 and the box body 21, the beam body 22 can be connected through riveting, screwing or welding.

[0074] In the above technical manner, the side plate 212 is a profiled frame, which can make the side plate 212 have good structural strength and not be easily damaged. Therefore, the side plate 212 can better resist the expansion force transmitted from the beam body 22, has high reliability and good stability, and can better decompose the expansion force formed by the battery monomer, so that the battery device 100 has good reliability and stability.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present application, the bottom plate 211 has a heat exchange channel.

[0076] For example, the bottom plate 211 has a first area and a second area. The heat exchange channel can be arranged in the first area, and the beam body 22 can be connected to the second area through a mortise and tenon structure.

[0077] In the above technical manner, the heat exchange manner of the present application is to exchange heat at the bottom of the battery device 100. In the present application, the heat exchange plate can be directly configured as the bottom plate 211 to bear the battery monomer. In the related art, the bottom plate 211 and the heat exchange plate are often separately arranged. In the present application, one plate is equivalent to being reduced, and the battery device 100 can be thinned.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 is a structure schematic view of the reinforcing beam 32 of the box body 2 and the mortise and tenon connection of the expansion beam according to the embodiments of the present application.

[0079] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 2 , Figures 3-6As shown, the bottom plate 211 includes a water-cooled plate 31 having heat exchange channels inside and a reinforcing beam 32, two ends of the reinforcing beam 32 are connected with two side plates 212 respectively, wherein the beam body 22 is connected with the water-cooled plate 31 through a mortise and tenon structure, and / or the water-cooled plate 31 is provided with a relief hole, and the mortise and tenon structure passes through the relief hole to connect the beam body 22 and the reinforcing beam 32.

[0080] Exemplarily, for the connection between the bottom plate 211 and the beam body 22, only the beam body 22 and the water-cooled plate 31 can be connected through the mortise and tenon structure, and the reinforcing beam 32 can play a role in improving the structural strength of the water-cooled plate 31. For example, the thickness of the water-cooled plate 31 is relatively thin, and the water-cooled plate 31 needs to bear the battery monomer as a bearing structure of the bottom of the battery device 100. By increasing the reinforcing beam 32, the structural strength of the battery monomer can be improved, thereby better bearing the battery monomer. Optionally, the reinforcing beam 32 can be provided with a plurality of reinforcing beams 32, which can be arranged in a spaced apart manner or in a staggered manner, and the present application does not limit this.

[0081] Exemplarily, for the connection between the bottom plate 211 and the beam body 22, only the beam body 22 and the reinforcing beam 32 can be connected through the mortise and tenon structure. Understandably, the beam body 22 and the reinforcing beam 32 can have good structural strength, and the tenon or mortise can be better constructed on the beam body 22 and the reinforcing beam 32, thereby reducing the processing difficulty.

[0082] Exemplarily, for the connection between the bottom plate 211 and the beam body 22, the beam body 22 and the water-cooled plate 31 can be connected through the mortise and tenon structure, and the beam body 22 and the reinforcing beam 32 can also be connected through the mortise and tenon structure. Therefore, the connection between the beam body 22, the water-cooled plate 31 and the reinforcing beam 32 can be better established, so that the beam body 22, the water-cooled plate 31 and the reinforcing beam 32 are better constructed as a whole. When the battery monomer forms an expansion force, the beam body 22 can better decompose the force towards the water-cooled plate 31 and the reinforcing beam 32, thereby better reducing the damage of the expansion force of the battery monomer to the box body 2.

[0083] In the above technical manner, the connection between the beam body 22, the water-cooled plate 31 and the reinforcing beam 32 can be set according to actual needs. When the battery monomer forms an expansion force, the beam body 22 can better decompose the force towards the water-cooled plate 31 and the reinforcing beam 32, thereby better reducing the damage of the expansion force of the battery monomer to the box body 2.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present application, the box body 21 is an integrated stamping part, and the box body 21 includes a plurality of box walls, at least one of the plurality of box walls being connected with the beam body 22 through a mortise and tenon structure.

[0085] In the above technical manner, the box body 21 formed by stamping has good structural consistency. After the beam body 22 is connected to the box wall through the mortise and tenon structure, the beam body 22 can well transmit the expansion force to the box wall, and then to the entire box body 21, which is beneficial to the decomposition of the expansion force. Meanwhile, the mortise and tenon structure can well reduce the stress concentration between the beam body 22 and the box wall, and can well improve the reliability and stability of the box body 2.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present application, the mortise and tenon structure includes a tenon and a mortise hole. The tenon is arranged on one of the bottom plate 211 and the beam body 22, and the mortise hole is arranged on the other one of the bottom plate 211 and the beam body 22.

[0087] For example, the tenon can be arranged on the bottom plate 211, and the mortise hole can be arranged on the beam body 22. The concave-convex engagement structure can be formed between the bottom plate 211 and the beam body 22. When the battery monomer forms the expansion force, the expansion force can first act on the box wall or the beam body 22, and then be decomposed into compressive stress along the inner walls of the mortise hole through the multiple directional contact surfaces of the tenon and the mortise hole. The risk of local damage caused by the acting force can be well reduced, thereby effectively improving the reliability of the box body 2.

[0088] Compared with the bolt connection in the related art, the matching of the tenon and the mortise hole can well reduce the connection gap between the beam body 22 and the bottom plate 211, which can be beneficial to the uniform decomposition of the expansion force between the beam body 22 and the bottom plate 211. Meanwhile, the one-to-one embedded structure, in combination with the structural characteristics of the integral stamping of the box body 21, can well improve the connection stability between the box body 21 and the beam body 22, can reduce the risk of loosening between the box body 21 and the beam body 22 in long-term charge-discharge cycles, thereby well improving the overall anti-deformation capability and service life of the box body 2, can well provide a continuous and stable working environment for the battery monomer, and further improves the reliability and stability of the battery device 100.

[0089] In the above technical manner, the concave-convex engagement structure formed between the bottom plate 211 and the beam body 22 can well improve the connection stability between the bottom plate 211 and the beam body 22, can reduce the risk of loosening between the bottom plate 211 and the beam body 22 in long-term charge-discharge cycles, thereby well improving the overall anti-deformation capability and service life of the box body 2, can well provide a continuous and stable working environment for the battery monomer, and further improves the reliability and stability of the battery device 100.

[0090] In some embodiments of the present application, the beam body 22 extends along the first direction X. In the first direction X, the end of the beam body 22 is configured as a tenon, the side plate 212 is formed with a recess 41, the recess 41 is configured as a mortise hole, and the end of the beam body 22 is completely accommodated in the recess 41.

[0091] Exemplarily, in the third direction Z, the beam body 22 is arranged at one side of the battery monomer, the battery monomer can expand along the third direction Z, thereby, when the beam body 22 bears the expansion force from the third direction Z, the end of the beam body 22 is completely accommodated in the recess 41, the concentrated expansion force can be better decomposed into the compressive stress along the depth direction of the recess 41 and the shear stress along the circumferential direction of the hole wall, the stress concentration between the end of the beam body 22 and the side plate 212 can be better reduced, and the acting force can be more uniformly distributed in the recess 41, and the risk of loosening between the box body 21 and the beam body 22 in the long-term charge and discharge cycle can be better reduced.

[0092] In addition, since the end of the beam body 22 can be completely accommodated in the recess 41, the end of the beam body 22 does not need to be specially changed in structure, and the processing difficulty of the beam body 22 can be reduced.

[0093] In the above technical manner, the end of the beam body 22 can be completely accommodated in the recess 41, the end of the beam body 22 does not need to be specially changed in structure, the processing difficulty of the beam body 22 can be reduced, and the end of the beam body 22 is completely accommodated in the recess 41, the concentrated expansion force can be better decomposed into the compressive stress along the depth direction of the recess 41 and the shear stress along the circumferential direction of the hole wall, the stress concentration between the end of the beam body 22 and the side plate 212 can be better reduced, and the acting force can be more uniformly distributed in the recess 41, and the risk of loosening between the box body 21 and the beam body 22 in the long-term charge and discharge cycle can be better reduced.

[0094] In some embodiments of the present application, the beam body 22 extends along the first direction X, and in the second direction Y, the side wall of the beam body 22 is formed with a convex rib or a groove 42 extending along the first direction X, and in the second direction Y, the size H of the convex rib or the groove 42 satisfies: 0.5mm≤H≤5mm, and the first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular to each other.

[0095] Exemplarily, the size H of the convex rib or the groove 42 can be 0.5mm, 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 3.5mm, 4mm, 4.5mm, 5mm.

[0096] That is, the structure of the convex ribs and the grooves 42 is simple, which can reduce the processing difficulty. For example, the beam body 22 can be an integral molding, and the convex ribs or the grooves 42 can be directly constructed during the integral molding. The box body 21 can be correspondingly constructed with the grooves 42 matched with the convex ribs, and the convex ribs matched with the grooves 42. In addition, by making the convex ribs or the grooves 42 meet the above-mentioned size, the connection strength between the beam body 22 and the box body 21 can be improved. It can be understood that, if the size of the convex ribs or the grooves 42 is less than 0.5 mm, the convex ribs or the grooves 42 of the beam body 22 are prone to be separated from the box body 21 under the action of the expansion force. If the size of the convex ribs or the grooves 42 is greater than 5 mm, the structural strength of the beam body 22 or the box body 21 is prone to be affected, and the beam body 22 or the box body 21 is prone to be damaged.

[0097] Exemplarily, the convex ribs or the grooves 42 on the beam body 22 can be provided in plurality, and the plurality of convex ribs or the plurality of grooves 42 are arranged at intervals.

[0098] Exemplarily, the beam body 22 can simultaneously have the convex ribs and the grooves 42.

[0099] In the above technical manner, by making the convex ribs or the grooves 42 meet the above-mentioned size, the connection strength between the beam body 22 and the box body 21 can be improved, so that the reliability and stability of the box body 2 can be improved.

[0100] In some embodiments of the present application, the beam body 22 is an expansion beam, which is arranged on the side of the battery monomer and is adapted to expand or contract.

[0101] In the above technical manner, when the battery monomer is charged or discharged and expands, the expansion beam can contract to absorb part of the expansion force, so as to avoid the damage of the battery monomer or the beam body 22 caused by the sudden increase of the stress of the hard rigid structure. When the monomer contracts, the expansion beam can restore to maintain stable support, so as to reduce the abrasion of the battery monomer caused by the shaking. After the expansion beam buffers the expansion force, the expansion beam can also disperse and transmit the remaining expansion force to the box body 21 through the mortise and tenon structure, so as to reduce the stress concentration between the beam body 22 and the box body 21, which is beneficial to improve the reliability and stability of the box body 2.

[0102] In some embodiments of the present application, the beam body 22 and the box body 21 have a welding area, so as to be welded and connected. In addition, the beam body 22 and the box body 21 can each have a bolt hole, so as to be bolted and connected.

[0103] That is, the beam body 22 and the box body 21 can be connected not only through the mortise and tenon structure, but also through welding and bolt connection, so that the connection between the beam body 22 and the box body 21 is more firm and reliable.

[0104] Exemplarily, the beam body 22 and the box body 21 can be connected through welding and mortise and tenon structure.

[0105] Exemplarily, the beam body 22 and the box body 21 can be connected through bolt connection and mortise and tenon structure.

[0106] Exemplarily, the beam body 22 and the box body 21 can be connected through welding, bolt connection and mortise and tenon structure.

[0107] In the above technical manner, the beam body 22 and the box body 21 are connected through the mortise and tenon structure in combination with the welding or bolt connection, which can further improve the reliability of the connection between the beam body 22 and the box body 21, thereby facilitating to improve the reliability and stability of the box body 2.
