[0031] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0032] Reference Figs. 1-3 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, a battery pack lower housing mounting bracket is proposed, including a support part 1 and a side connection part 2, wherein:

[0033] The support part 1 includes a support body 11 and a protrusion 12. The support body 11 is provided with a first connecting surface 100 for welding to the bottom surface of the lower housing 00. The protrusion 12 is formed by the support body 11 protruding from the first connecting surface 100 to the opposite side. The protrusion 12 is located in the middle of the support body 11, and the length of the protrusion 12 is the same as the length of the support body 11. The first connecting surface 100 contacts the bottom surface of the lower housing 00, and a gap is formed between the protrusion 12 and the bottom surface of the lower housing 00.

[0034] One end of the side connection 2 is perpendicularly connected to the support body 11 and extends away from the protrusion 12. The side connection 2 is provided with a second connection surface 200 for welding to the side of the lower housing 00. The second connection surface 200 faces the first connection surface 100.

[0035] The battery pack lower housing mounting bracket proposed in this embodiment has a protrusion 12 formed by the support body 11 protruding from the first connecting surface 100 to the opposite side. This makes the gap between the protrusion 12 and the bottom contact surface of the lower housing 00 larger. During the electrophoresis process, the electrophoretic paint can be smoothly adsorbed into the interlayer gap between the protrusion 12 and the bottom contact surface of the lower housing 00, which improves the salt spray and weather resistance of the lower housing 00, greatly reduces the corrosion of the lower housing 00 and the mounting bracket, and improves the service life of the mounting bracket. At the same time, the protrusion 12 can improve the strength of the mounting bracket.

[0036] In some embodiments, the protrusion 12 is provided with a drain hole 121. By providing a drain hole 121 on the protrusion 12, water stains and moisture accumulated in the gap between the protrusion 12 and the bottom of the lower housing 00 can be discharged as soon as possible, avoiding the lower housing 00 from rusting and corrosion caused by water droplets soaking the area not reached by electrophoresis for a long time, thereby improving reliability and lifespan.

[0037] In some embodiments, the drain hole 121 is a tapered hole, and the diameter of the drain hole 121 gradually decreases from the side of the protrusion 12 closest to the first connecting surface 100. This design allows the drain hole 121 to have a guiding function, enabling water stains and moisture to be discharged as completely as possible, preventing water vapor from evaporating and causing corrosion of the lower housing 00, thus improving reliability.

[0038] In some embodiments, the taper slope of the drain hole 121 is 60 degrees. With a taper slope of 60 degrees, the drain hole 121 leaks the fastest, allowing water stains and moisture to be discharged more quickly. This further prevents water droplets from prolonged immersion in areas not reached by electrophoresis, which could lead to rust and corrosion of the lower housing.

[0039] In some embodiments, the support body 11 includes a first support plate 111 and a second support plate 112, and the protrusion 12 is located between the first support plate 111 and the second support plate 112; the side connection portion 2 includes a first connecting ear 21 and a second connecting ear 22, the first connecting ear 21 being connected to the first support plate 111, and the second connecting ear 22 being connected to the second support plate 112.

[0040] In some embodiments, the width of the first connecting ear 21 is less than or equal to the width of the first support plate 111, and the width of the second connecting ear 22 is less than or equal to the width of the second support plate 112. By making the width of the first connecting ear 21 less than or equal to the width of the first support plate 111, and the width of the second connecting ear 22 less than or equal to the width of the second support plate 112, it is more convenient to perform the stamping operation of the protrusion 12, improving processing convenience.

[0041] In some embodiments, the first connecting ear 21 and the second connecting ear 22 are symmetrically arranged about the center line of the protrusion 12. This symmetrical arrangement of the first connecting ear 21 and the second connecting ear 22 about the center line of the protrusion 12 ensures that the side of the mounting bracket experiences more even stress after welding with the lower housing 00, preventing damage from excessive local stress and improving the stability and reliability of the device.

[0042] In some embodiments, the first support plate 111 and the second support plate 112 are symmetrically arranged about the center line of the protrusion 12, and the sum of the widths of the first support plate 111 and the second support plate 112 is less than or equal to the width of the protrusion 12. By ensuring that the sum of the widths of the first support plate 111 and the second support plate 112 is less than or equal to the width of the protrusion 12, the width of the protrusion 12 is made as large as possible while ensuring strength, thereby maximizing the area where electrophoretic paint can be smoothly adsorbed, thus reducing the possibility of corrosion of the lower housing and improving reliability.

[0043] In some embodiments, a first transition fillet 13 is provided at the connection position between the first support plate 111 and the protrusion 12, and a second transition fillet 14 is provided at the connection position between the second support plate 112 and the protrusion 12. By providing the first transition fillet 13 and the second transition fillet 14, stress concentration at the connection position is avoided, thereby improving the bending resistance of the device and increasing its strength and reliability.

[0044] In some embodiments, the protrusion 12 is formed by stamping, and the side connection 2 and the support 1 are formed by bending. By forming the protrusion 12 by stamping and the side connection 2 and the support 1 by bending, the mounting bracket is integrally formed, resulting in better structural strength, thereby improving reliability and extending service life.

[0045] The working principle of the battery pack lower housing mounting bracket is as follows: the first connecting surface 100 is welded to the bottom surface of the lower housing 00, and the second connecting surface 200 is welded to the side surface of the lower housing 00. A gap is formed between the protrusion 12 and the bottom surface of the lower housing 00. During the electrophoresis process, the electrophoretic paint can be successfully adsorbed into the gap between the protrusion 12 and the bottom contact surface of the lower housing 00, which improves the salt spray and weather resistance of the lower housing 00, greatly reduces the time for the lower housing 00 and the mounting bracket to rust, and improves the life of the mounting bracket. At the same time, the protrusion 12 can improve the strength of the mounting bracket.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
