Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of protective frame technology, and more specifically, to a lightweight electric racing car battery protective frame. Background Technology

[0002] A lightweight electric racing car battery protective frame is a protective frame that provides protection and support for the battery of an electric racing car. It consists of one or more individual protective frames. During racing or operation, the battery protective frame provides protection and support for the car's battery, extending its lifespan. The primary function of the racing car battery protective frame is to protect and support the battery and extend its lifespan, ensuring the battery functions properly during the operation of the electric racing car.

[0003] A search revealed an existing application (CN202020790083.X) concerning a battery protective frame for new energy electric vehicles. The frame includes a first frame, a second frame, horizontal plates, a bottom plate, and a top plate. Two second brackets are welded to the inner walls of both the first and second frames. The bottom of both frames is fixed to the bottom plate via second bolts. Two horizontal plates are also correspondingly engaged between the first and second frames, and the top plate is fixed to the upper part of each horizontal plate via first bolts. A vertical plate is provided at one end of both the first and second frames, and is connected to them via threaded rods. The cooperation between the first and second frames and the bottom plate, as well as the cooperation between the first and second frames, the horizontal plates, and the top plate, increases the applicability of the protective frame for protecting batteries of different specifications. The inventors discovered the following problems with the existing technology during the development of this invention.

[0004] There is not much spacing between the batteries in the race car. When one battery is damaged due to a collision or other reasons, it will cause a chain reaction, causing other batteries to be damaged to varying degrees. This will result in huge losses. In addition, the battery brackets do not have shock absorption devices. During the electric race car's operation, the large up-and-down shaking of the car will cause the battery brackets to shift within the car, thereby damaging other parts.

[0005] Therefore, a lightweight electric racing car battery protection frame is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a lightweight electric racing car battery protection frame to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a lightweight electric racing car battery protective frame, comprising a battery storage box assembly, a support column, and a barrier plate assembly. A support frame is installed below the battery storage box assembly, and a buffer spring is installed below the support frame. A support column is installed below the buffer spring. A barrier plate assembly is placed on the side of the battery storage box assembly, and a connecting column is installed on the side of the battery storage box assembly away from the barrier plate assembly. The connecting column and the battery storage box assembly are connected through a connecting column hole.

[0008] Preferably, the energy storage box assembly includes a fixing block, an outer box, and an energy storage box, wherein the fixing block is installed on the inner wall of the outer box, and the energy storage box is placed on the side of the fixing block.

[0009] Preferably, the barrier plate assembly includes a barrier plate connector A, a barrier connecting plate B, and a barrier plate, wherein the barrier connecting plate A is installed on the side of the barrier plate, and the barrier connecting plate B is installed on the side of the barrier plate away from the barrier connecting plate A.

[0010] Preferably, the energy storage box assembly further includes heat dissipation holes and an energy storage box cover, and the energy storage box cover is installed on the top of the energy storage box, and the top of the energy storage box cover is connected to the heat dissipation holes.

[0011] Preferably, an assembly plate A is installed below the support column, and an assembly plate B is placed on the side of the assembly plate A, with the outer wall of the assembly plate B connected to the assembly hole.

[0012] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. Compared with existing technologies, this lightweight electric racing car battery protective frame can more firmly fix the battery in the support frame through the energy storage box assembly, and each battery is in a single energy storage box. If one battery is damaged during the electric racing car competition, such as leakage or spontaneous combustion, it will not affect the normal use of other batteries. The damaged battery can be replaced with a new spare battery. In addition, the surface of the energy storage box cover has heat dissipation holes, which can reduce the spontaneous combustion of racing car batteries due to excessive temperature during operation.

[0014] 2. Compared with the existing technology, this lightweight electric racing car battery protection frame can prevent the electric racing car from shifting due to excessive movement during the race by fixing the battery with the energy storage box assembly. The barrier plate assembly can not only provide secondary reinforcement for the battery, but also ensure that the batteries are at a safe distance from each other, so that the batteries do not affect each other when working. In addition, a buffer spring is installed under the support frame. When the electric racing car is running, the buffer spring can reduce the force of collision between the support bracket and other parts inside the racing car. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] As attached Figures 1 to 4 The lightweight electric racing car battery protective frame shown includes a battery storage box assembly 1, a support column 2, and a barrier plate assembly 3. A support frame 5 is installed below the battery storage box assembly 1, and a buffer spring 13 is installed below the support frame 5. The support column 2 is installed below the buffer spring 13. The barrier plate assembly 3 is placed on the side of the battery storage box assembly 1, and a connecting column 4 is installed on the side of the battery storage box assembly 1 away from the barrier plate assembly 3. The connecting column 4 and the battery storage box assembly 1 are connected through a connecting column hole 8.

[0023] The battery storage box assembly 1 is bolted to a support frame 5, which secures and protects the battery. The support frame 5 protects and connects its internal components. A buffer spring 13 is welded to the bottom of the support frame 5, which cushions the impact of the electric race car's movement. A support column 2 is bolted to the bottom of the buffer spring 13, securing and connecting the support frame 5 to the electric race car chassis. A baffle plate assembly 3 is placed on the side of the battery storage box assembly 1, maintaining a safe distance between the battery storage boxes and providing secondary fixation. A connecting column 4 is installed on the side of the battery storage box assembly 1 away from the baffle plate assembly 3, fixing one side of the battery storage box and greatly reducing the probability of displacement during the race car's operation. The connecting column 4 and the battery storage box assembly 1 are connected through a connecting column hole 8. When the race car starts running, due to inertia, the internal components of the race car... The component is subjected to a backward force, and the battery of the electric race car is also subjected to a backward force. The energy storage box assembly 1 can ensure that the battery does not shift when the electric race car starts. The support frame 5 provides a place for the battery. When the bolts connecting the energy storage box assembly 1 to the support frame 5 become loose due to long-term use, making it impossible for the energy storage box to be fixed in the designated position of the support frame 5, the barrier plate assembly 3 and the connecting column 4 can play a secondary restraint role for the energy storage box and also play a secondary protection role for the race car battery, greatly reducing the risk of battery collisions and damage due to the battery not being fixed. When the race car is traveling at high speed, it will swing up and down significantly on bumpy roads, and the components inside the race car will also shake significantly due to the up and down swing of the race car. The support frame 5 will also shift due to the large arc of the shaking. The space for installing parts inside the race car is small. Even a small shift can cause the support frame 5 to collide with the parts inside the race car. The buffer spring 13 can reduce the probability of the support frame 5 shifting by shock absorption.

[0024] Example 2

[0025] Based on Example 1, the solution in Example 1 will be further described in detail below with reference to the specific working method, such as... Figures 1 to 4 As shown below, see details:

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the energy storage box assembly 1 includes a fixing block 6, an outer box 101, and an energy storage box 10. The fixing block 6 is bolted to the inner wall of the outer box 101, and the energy storage box 10 is placed on the side of the fixing block 6. The fixing block 6 is bolted to the inner wall of the energy storage box assembly 1, which serves to fix the energy storage box 10. The energy storage box 10 is where the racing car battery is stored. It plays a role in restricting and protecting the battery. When the racing car is moving, the fixing block 6 can firmly fix the energy storage box 10 to the inner wall of the energy storage box assembly 1, so that it does not shift. The energy storage box 10 plays a role in restricting and protecting the battery, so that the battery does not suffer from collision wear due to shifting or spontaneous combustion due to heat dissipation problems.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the barrier plate assembly 3 includes a barrier plate 12 and a barrier connecting plate A11. The barrier plate assembly 3 provides secondary fixation for the energy storage box. The barrier connecting plate A11 is bolted to the side of the barrier plate 12, and the barrier connecting plate B17 is bolted to the side of the barrier plate 12 away from the barrier connecting plate A11. The barrier plate assembly 3 provides secondary fixation for the energy storage box, and the barrier connecting plate A11 and the barrier connecting plate B17 fix the barrier plate 12 and support the connection of the protective frame 5.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the battery storage box assembly 1 also includes a heat dissipation hole 7 and a battery storage box cover 9. The battery storage box cover 9 is bolted to the top of the battery storage box 10. The top of the battery storage box cover 9 is connected to the heat dissipation hole 7. When the electric race car is in motion, the battery will provide power to the race car. During this process, the battery will dissipate heat. If the battery storage box 10 is a closed space, the battery may spontaneously combust, which poses a great safety hazard. The heat dissipation hole 7 can dissipate the heat inside the battery storage box 10, greatly reducing the risk of spontaneous combustion. When the battery is damaged, you only need to unscrew the battery storage box cover 9 with a screwdriver to replace it with a new spare battery.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, an assembly plate A15 is installed below the support column 2, and an assembly plate B16 is placed on the side of the assembly plate A15. The outer wall of the assembly plate B16 is connected to the assembly hole 14. The assembly plates A15 and B16 connect the support column 2 and the race car base, so that the entire protective frame is connected and fixed to the race car. The fact that there are two assembly plates for one support column 2 can make the entire protective frame more secure and stable in the race car. The assembly hole 14 can be used to bolt the assembly plate to the race car base. When the entire protective frame cannot work properly due to aging, the bolts in the assembly hole 14 can be removed with a screwdriver and a new protective frame can be replaced.

[0030] The working process of this utility model is as follows: A support frame 5 is bolted to the bottom of the energy storage box assembly 1. The energy storage box assembly 1 serves to fix and protect the battery. The energy storage box assembly 1 includes a fixing block 6, an outer box 101, an energy storage box 10, a heat dissipation hole 7, and an energy storage box cover 9. The fixing block 6 is bolted to the inner wall of the outer box 101. The energy storage box 10 is placed on the side of the fixing block 6. The fixing block 6 is bolted to the inner wall of the energy storage box assembly 1, which serves to fix the energy storage box 10. The energy storage box 10 is where the racing car battery is stored, and it serves to restrict and protect the battery. The energy storage box 10 is placed on the side of the fixing block 6. The fixing block 6 is bolted to the inner wall of the energy storage box assembly 1, which serves to fix the energy storage box 10. The energy storage box 10 is where the racing car battery is stored. It serves to restrict and protect the battery. An energy storage box cover 9 is bolted to the top of the energy storage box 10. The top of the energy storage box cover 9 is connected to the heat dissipation vent 7. When the electric racing car is in motion, the battery provides power to the car. During this process, the battery dissipates heat. If the energy storage box 10 were a closed space, there is a high risk of battery spontaneous combustion, posing a significant safety hazard. The heat dissipation vent 7 dissipates the heat inside the energy storage box 10, greatly reducing the risk of spontaneous combustion. When the battery is damaged, simply unscrew the energy storage box cover 9 with a screwdriver to replace it with a new spare battery. The fixing block 6 firmly secures the energy storage box 10 to the inner wall of the energy storage box assembly 1. The battery does not shift. The energy storage box 10 restricts and protects the battery, preventing collisions and wear caused by shifting. The support frame 5 protects and connects the internal parts. A buffer spring 13 is welded to the bottom of the support frame 5. The buffer spring 13 cushions the up-and-down swaying force caused by the bumps during the operation of the electric race car. A support column 2 is bolted to the bottom of the buffer spring 13. The support column 2 fixes and connects the entire support frame 5 to the chassis of the electric race car. An assembly plate A15 is installed below the support column 2. An assembly plate B16 is placed on the side of the assembly plate A15. The outer wall of the assembly plate B16 is connected to the assembly hole 14. Assembly plates A15 and B16 connect support column 2 and race car base, securing the entire protective frame to the race car. The presence of two assembly plates on each support column 2 ensures greater stability and robustness of the protective frame within the race car. Assembly hole 14 allows for bolt connection between the assembly plate and the race car base. When the protective frame malfunctions due to aging, the bolts in assembly hole 14 can be removed with a screwdriver, and a new protective frame can be installed. A barrier plate assembly 3 is placed on the side of the energy storage box assembly 1. Barrier plate assembly 3 includes barrier plate 12, barrier connecting plate B17, and barrier connecting plate A11. Barrier plate assembly 3 provides secondary fixation for the energy storage box. Barrier connecting plate A11 is bolted to the side of barrier plate 12.A barrier plate 12 is bolted to a barrier connecting plate B17 on the side away from barrier connecting plate A. The barrier plate assembly 3 provides secondary fixation for the energy storage box. Barrier connecting plates A11 and B17 fix the barrier plate 12 and support the connection of the protective frame 5. The barrier plate assembly 3 maintains a safe distance between energy storage boxes and provides secondary fixation. A connecting column 4 is installed on the side of the energy storage box assembly 1 away from the barrier plate assembly 3. The connecting column 4 can fix the position of one side of the energy storage box, greatly reducing the probability of the energy storage box shifting during the operation of the electric race car. The connecting column 4 and the energy storage box assembly 1 are connected through the connecting column hole 8. When the race car starts running, due to inertia, the internal parts of the race car are subjected to a backward force, and the battery of the electric race car is also subjected to a backward force. The energy storage box assembly 1 can ensure that the battery does not shift when the electric race car starts. The supporting protective frame 5 provides a place for the battery. When the bolts connecting the battery box assembly 1 to the support frame 5 loosen due to prolonged use, preventing the battery box from being fixed in the designated position on the support frame 5, the barrier plate assembly 3 and connecting column 4 provide secondary restraint for the battery box and secondary protection for the racing car battery. This significantly reduces the risk of battery collisions and damage due to insecure mounting. During high-speed racing, the car experiences significant vertical swaying on bumpy roads, causing internal components to vibrate considerably. The support frame 5 may also shift due to this large-radius swaying. Given the limited space for internal components, even small shifts can lead to collisions between the support frame 5 and internal parts. The buffer spring 13 reduces this likelihood of shifting by damping the shock. This is the working principle of this lightweight electric racing car battery protection frame.
