Description

Technical Field

[0002] Because lithium batteries have significant advantages over lead-acid batteries in terms of lighter weight, smaller size, and longer lifespan for the same range, their market share in the electric bicycle sector is growing rapidly due to the obvious performance advantages of electric vehicles. However, the use of two-wheeled electric vehicles, especially shared ones, is complex, and the requirements for battery pack waterproofing are becoming increasingly stringent. Water ingress into the battery pack can easily cause circuit failures or even short circuits, posing a safety hazard.

[0003] Chinese patent website published a sealing mechanism for a lithium battery pack housing for a two-wheeled vehicle and a lithium battery pack for a two-wheeled vehicle, publication number CN219677416U, belonging to the field of assembly technology of power lithium battery packs. The sealing mechanism includes: a housing for accommodating the lithium battery pack for the two-wheeled vehicle, including a top opening, a bottom opening, and a side wall connecting the top opening and the bottom opening; a top cover plate connected to the top opening to close the top opening; a bottom cover plate connected to the bottom opening to close the bottom opening; and a sealing gasket disposed between the top cover plate and the top opening, and between the bottom cover plate and the bottom opening. This utility model achieves the purpose of sealing and waterproofing by compressing the sealing gasket between the top cover plate, the bottom cover plate, and the housing, which has strong waterproofing ability, simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and convenient maintenance and disassembly. The aforementioned device achieves sealing by using a sealing ring to seal the battery pack casing. However, part of the sealing ring is exposed to the outside, and the sealing ring itself will break during long-term use, which will affect the sealing performance of the casing and cause the battery pack inside to malfunction. Therefore, a sealing mechanism for the casing of a lithium battery pack for electric bicycles is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0028] Example 1

[0029] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this embodiment proposes a vehicle frame 1, with a sealing mechanism 2 provided on the inner side of the vehicle frame 1;

[0030] The sealing mechanism 2 includes a sealing part and a squeezing part;

[0031] The sealing part includes a housing 21, a cover 22 and a sealing ring 27; the extrusion part includes a double-threaded rod 25 and two extrusion plates 211.

[0032] The outer casing 21 is fixedly installed inside the frame 1. The bottom surface of the cover 22 contacts the top surface of the sealing ring 27. The front of the double-axis threaded rod 25 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the outer casing 21 through a bearing seat. Two movable plates 29 are threadedly fitted onto the surface of the double-axis threaded rod 25. Two sets of extrusion brackets 26 are fixedly installed on the side of the two movable plates 29 that are close to each other. The inner sides of the two sets of extrusion brackets 26 are respectively in extrusion contact with the front and rear end faces of the inner side of the sealing ring 27. Two fixing brackets 213 are fixedly installed on the left and right end faces of the inner side of the outer casing 21. The inner bottom surface of 13 is slidably connected to the bottom surface of two extrusion plates 211 respectively. The opposite sides of the two extrusion plates 211 are in contact with the inner left and right end faces of the sealing ring 27 respectively. Two connecting brackets 212 are slidably installed through the adjacent sides of the two fixing brackets 213, extending to the inner side of the two fixing brackets 213.

The sides of the two connecting plates 214 near the two fixed brackets 213 are hinged to the sides of the two fixed brackets 213 respectively. Two springs 217 are fixedly installed on the inner front faces of the two connecting brackets 212. The backs of the two springs 217 are fixedly connected to the front faces of the two sliding blocks 215 respectively. A positioning rod 210 is fixedly installed on the inner front face of the outer casing 21. The back of the 10 slides through the front of the two movable plates 29 and extends to the back of the rear movable plate 29. The back of the positioning rod 210 is fixedly connected to the rear end face of the inner side of the outer shell 21. The back of the double-axis threaded rod 25 extends through the front of the outer shell 21 and extends to the rear of the outer shell 21. A seat 6 is provided on the top of the frame 1.

[0033] In this embodiment, by providing a compression part, the sealing ring 27 can be inserted into the interior of the outer shell 21 when sealing the outer shell 21. By providing a compression frame 28, the outer side of the sealing ring 27 can be compressed. By controlling the rotation of the dual-axis threaded rod 25, the two sets of compression frames 26 can be moved forward and backward respectively. When the two sets of compression frames 26 move forward and backward respectively, the inner front and rear end faces of the sealing ring 27 can be compressed. By providing two springs 217, the two sliding blocks 215 can be moved forward. When the two sliding blocks 215 move forward, the two connecting plates 214 can move the two connecting frames 212 and the two compression plates 211 to the left and right ends respectively. When the two compression plates 211 move, the left and right end faces of the inner side of the sealing ring 27 can be compressed. By compressing the inner side of the sealing ring 27, the sealing performance between the outer shell 21 and the lid 22 can be enhanced.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] like Figures 1-5 As shown, based on the same concept as Embodiment 1 above, this embodiment also proposes that a sealing gasket 24 is provided on the top surface of the outer shell 21, the sealing gasket 24 is in contact with the bottom surface of the box cover 22, a compression frame 28 is fixedly provided on the inner side of the outer shell 21, the inner side of the compression frame 28 is in compression contact with the top surface of the sealing ring 27, and a plurality of fixing bolts 23 are provided on the top of the box cover 22, and the box cover 22 is connected to the top surface of the outer shell 21 by the plurality of fixing bolts 23.

[0036] In this embodiment, the connection between the lid 22 and the outer shell 21 can be sealed by providing a sealing part, and the gap between the lid 22 and the outer shell 21 can be blocked by providing a sealing gasket 24, thereby further improving the sealing performance between the lid 22 and the outer shell 21.

[0037] In use, the cover 22 is fixed to the outer shell 21 by fixing bolts 23. The connection is sealed by the sealing gasket 24. After the cover 22 is fixed, the sealing ring 27 will enter the outer shell 21. The outer side of the sealing ring 27 can be squeezed by the extrusion frame 28. By rotating the double-axis threaded rod 25, the two moving plates 29 can move in opposite directions. When the two moving plates 29 move away from each other, they can drive the two sets of extrusion frames 26 to move synchronously. When the two sets of extrusion frames 26 move in opposite directions, their inner sides can squeeze the inner front and rear end faces of the sealing ring 27 respectively. Two springs 27 are provided to move two sliding blocks 215 forward. When the two sliding blocks 215 move forward, two connecting plates 214 can move two connecting frames 212 to the left and right ends respectively. During the movement of the two connecting frames 212, two pressing plates 211 can be driven to move synchronously. When the two pressing plates 211 move to the left and right ends respectively, they can press the left and right end faces of the inner side of the sealing ring 27, thereby achieving a better sealing effect.
