Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of battery manufacturing, especially relates to a novel structure of a turning-milling box. BACKGROUND

[0002] The battery pack box body is a container for accommodating and protecting the battery pack used in electric vehicles, energy storage systems and other equipment. It not only provides physical support and protection for the battery, preventing external environments such as moisture, dust and physical impact from causing damage to the battery, but also needs to have good thermal management performance to ensure that the battery operates within an appropriate operating temperature range, prolongs the battery life and ensures safety.

[0003] The existing battery pack box body is mostly made by bending sheet metal. Sheet metal technology is a process that uses cold working methods to cut, stamp, bend and other processes to make metal sheets into specific shapes. This manufacturing method has the advantages of low cost and high production efficiency, and has been widely used in many applications. However, with the development of the electric vehicle industry and the improvement of technical requirements, the traditional sheet metal technology has some limitations when facing some special requirements of the carrier. For carriers that need to withstand large mechanical stress or work in harsh environments, the traditional sheet metal box body may not meet the requirements of its deformation resistance. Due to the characteristics of sheet metal materials and the limitations of processing methods, when the vehicle encounters a collision or is in a vibrating environment for a long time, the box body may deform irreversibly, affecting the safety and stability of the internal battery. Sheet metal technology is difficult to achieve high-precision size control, especially in complex geometric shape designs, which may cause assembly difficulties or poor sealing performance. At the same time, in the application of some subdivided field products, the box body needs to be disassembled and assembled when needed, and the sheet metal formed box body is difficult to meet this requirement.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] In order to deepen the understanding of the utility model, the utility model will be further described in combination with examples and drawings below, and the examples are only used to explain the utility model and do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the utility model.

[0029] Implementation example:

[0030] As Figure 1 The structure of a novel turning and milling box body shown in the figure, the base 1, cover plate 3 and frame body 2 are made by turning and milling. The frame body 2 is vertically erected along the base 1, and the cover plate 3 covers the frame body 2 from above, realizing the sealing protection of the battery pack in the box body.

[0031] The base 1 comprises a bottom plate 11 and a heat exchange plate 12 arranged on the bottom plate 11. The heat exchange plate 12 exchanges heat with the battery placed thereon by the liquid with suitable temperature through the liquid inlet 121 and liquid outlet 122, so as to ensure that the battery maintains a constant suitable temperature. The heat exchange channel is arranged in the heat exchange plate 12 and extends between the liquid inlet 121 and liquid outlet 122, so as to ensure that the heat exchange liquid contacts the battery to the maximum extent and is discharged after fully exchanging heat. The heat exchange plate 12 is placed on the bottom plate 11 and tightly abuts the inner side of the frame body 2. The vertical connecting hole 31 is arranged on the exposed part of the bottom plate 11 relative to the heat exchange plate 12. The exposed part is provided with a sealing groove 26 at the contact end of the frame 2. The sealing pad is arranged to ensure the sealing between the frame body 2 and the bottom plate 11. At the same time, the heat exchange plate 12 abuts against the frame body 2, further ensuring the sealing effect. The cover plate 3 covers the opening of the frame body 2 from above. The vertical connecting hole 31 is arranged along the outer peripheral edge. The cover plate 3 is installed on the frame body 2 by bolts.

[0032] The frame body 2 comprises a front plate 21, a rear plate 22, a left plate 23 and a right plate 24 arranged vertically in four directions of front, rear, left and right. The front plate 21 is provided with a liquid inlet interface 211 and a liquid outlet interface 212 communicated with the heat exchange plate 12, and an electrical interface 213 communicated with the battery in the box body, and a positioning pin 214 for positioning. The rear plate 22 is provided with a B-type locker 221 for fixed installation. The left plate 23 and the right plate 24 clamp the front plate 21 and the rear plate 22 from both sides, and a horizontal connecting hole 24 is arranged along the vertical direction close to the edge on both sides. A plurality of horizontal internal screw holes are arranged vertically on the side end faces of the front plate 21 and the rear plate 22. The left plate 23 and the right plate 24 clamp the front plate 21 and the rear plate 22 from both sides by rotating and tightening the bolts, and the installation of the frame body 2 is completed. When disassembly is required, the cover plate 3 and the base 1 are removed from the frame body 2 by loosening the bolts, and then the frame body 2 is disassembled.

[0033] The utility model adopts modular design, and each component (such as front plate, rear plate, left plate, right plate) is connected by bolt, allowing quick assembly and disassembly. This design greatly simplifies the maintenance, repair and upgrade process, reduces downtime and reduces operation difficulty. Compared with traditional sheet metal process, turning and milling processing can achieve higher dimensional accuracy and more complex geometric shape design. This not only improves the manufacturing quality of the product, but also makes it possible to integrate efficient heat dissipation components and optimize internal space utilization. Turning and milling processing selects high-strength alloy material and accurately controls the wall thickness, so that the box has stronger rigidity and anti-deformation ability, especially suitable for application scenarios with strict requirements for shock resistance and impact resistance. Turning and milling processing can realize the integrated forming of part of the structure, reducing the welding or riveting joints and reducing the corrosion risk and potential leakage problem caused by the joints. The heat exchange plate is integrated, and the heat exchange liquid circulation is realized through the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet. Coolant can be input in high-temperature environment, and high-temperature liquid can be supplemented in low-temperature environment, ensuring that the battery pack maintains an appropriate working temperature during operation, prolonging the battery life and enhancing the safety of the system.
