DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] The specific embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are intended to explain and illustrate the present disclosure, but not to limit the present disclosure.

[0043] In the present disclosure, the positional words such as "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right" used without the opposite description are based on the direction of the vehicle in the drawings. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The definitions are as follows: for a vehicle, the top side of the roof is the upper side, the bottom side of the vehicle is the lower side, the front side of the vehicle is the front side, the rear side of the vehicle is the rear side, and the left-right direction refers to the width direction of the vehicle. The upper-lower direction can also refer to the direction of gravity of the vehicle. In "inner and outer", the inner refers to the direction of the vehicle pointing to the outside, and the outer refers to the direction of the vehicle pointing to the outside. The terms "first" and "second" are used to distinguish one element from another element, and do not have sequentiality and importance. In addition, the following description, when referring to the drawings, the same reference numerals in different drawings represent the same or similar elements, and the present disclosure does not repeat here.

[0044] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, a vehicle is provided, referring to Figures 1 to 5 The vehicle includes a subframe 1, a battery pack 2 located at the rear side of the subframe 1 and having an interface 21, the interface 21 including at least one of a high-voltage interface 211, a low-voltage interface 212, and a cooling system interface 213, and a protection structure 3 connected with the subframe 1 and the battery pack 2 respectively, the protection structure 3 being arranged at the lower side of the interface 21 and covering the interface 21, the protection structure 3 having a width in the left-right direction of the vehicle, the width of the front end of the protection structure 3 being greater than the width of the rear end of the protection structure 3.

[0045] By the technical solution, the protection structure 3 can cover the interface 21 in the direction from bottom to top, that is, the interface 21 is covered by the protection structure 3 when viewed from bottom to top, or the protection structure 3 covers the interface 21, so that the protection structure 3 can provide coverage for the interface 21 from the bottom of the vehicle to protect the interface 21 and prevent stones and other foreign matters from splashing during the driving of the vehicle to damage the interface 21, thereby facilitating the normal work of the battery pack 2. Since the protection structure 3 is connected between the subframe 1 and the battery pack 2, and the width of the front end of the protection structure 3 is wide, the supportability of the front end of the protection structure 3 is good, and the protection structure 3 can support the battery pack 2 in the event of a frontal collision. The rear end of the protection structure 3 is narrow and is easy to deform, that is, the collision force can be absorbed by deformation, so that, by the design of the wide front end and the narrow rear end of the protection structure 3, the protection structure 3 is less likely to deform as it goes backward, the force transmission area formed by the protection structure 3 increases from the front side to the rear side, the force transmitted can be effectively dispersed, the deformation of the battery pack is reduced, and the battery pack 2 is protected. At the same time, the force transmission area of the front side is small, the upper limit of the stress can be reduced, and the force per unit area is relatively large, so that the front side collapses first in the event of a collision, and the force transmission area of the rear side is large, so that a large force can be borne, and the battery pack is protected from damage. Therefore, the stress of the protection structure 3 gradually changes from the front side to the rear side, that is, the stress gradually increases, the protection structure 3 can uniformly bear the force, the protection structure 3 can be crushed in turn, energy can be gradually absorbed, and the battery pack can be damaged, the passenger compartment can be protected, and the safety performance of the battery pack 2 in the event of a frontal collision of the vehicle can be effectively improved.

[0046] It should be noted that the width of the protection structure 3 can be understood as the distance or interval between the left edge and the right edge of the protection structure 3, the width of the front end of the protection structure 3 can be understood as the distance between the left edge and the right edge of the front end of the protection structure 3, and the width of the rear end of the protection structure 3 can be understood as the distance between the left edge and the right edge of the rear end of the protection structure 3. The width of the front end of the protection structure 3 can be referred to as D3 in Figure 5 , and the width of the rear end of the protection structure 3 can be referred to as D2 in Figure 5 , that is, the width of the rear end of the protection structure 3 can be equal to the interval between the third connecting portion 30 and the fourth connecting portion 40. In addition, the high-voltage interface 211 can be connected with a high-voltage wire harness, the low-voltage interface 212 can be connected with a low-voltage wire harness, and the cooling system interface 213 can be connected with a cooling system, wherein the high-voltage wire harness, the low-voltage wire harness, and the cooling system can extend into the front compartment of the vehicle.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, reference can be made to Figures 2 to 5As shown in FIG. 1, the protection structure 3 includes a first protection piece 31 and a second protection piece 32, the first protection piece 31 is connected with the sub-frame 1 and the battery pack 2 respectively, i.e. the first protection piece 31 is connected between the sub-frame 1 and the battery pack 2, and the second protection piece 32 can be connected on the first protection piece 31; at least part of the first protection piece 31 covers the interface 21 in the direction from bottom to top. In this way, the first protection piece 31 can play a role in protecting the interface 21 and transmitting force between the sub-frame 1 and the battery pack 2, and the second protection piece 32 can play a role in reinforcing the first protection piece 31.

[0048] In some embodiments, the first protection piece 31 and the second protection piece 32 can both be configured in a plate shape and can be formed by stamping, of course, the first protection piece 31 and the second protection piece 32 can be integrally formed, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the first protection piece 31 can include a left segment 311, a right segment 312 and a connecting segment 313, the connecting segment 313 is connected between the left segment 311 and the right segment 312, and the connecting segment 313, the left segment 311 and the right segment 312 together enclose a notch 314, the notch 314 is located on the front side of the connecting segment 313. Here, the left segment 311 and the right segment 312 can both be connected between the sub-frame 1 and the battery pack 2. Among them, by setting the notch 314 on the front side of the connecting segment 313, it is convenient to overhaul the above-mentioned high-voltage wire harness, low-voltage wire harness and cooling system, and the notch 314 set on the front side can avoid too much impact force being transmitted to the battery pack 2, which is beneficial to improve the safety performance of the battery pack 2. Among them, arranging the notch 314 on the front side of the connecting segment 313 can break the force transmission of the first protection piece 31 on the front side of the connecting segment 313, which makes the vehicle be able to transmit force along the left segment 311 and the right segment 312 and in the front-rear direction when a frontal rigid collision occurs, rather than starting from the front side of the connecting segment 313. At this time, the left segment 311 and the right segment 313 can cooperate with the longitudinal beam of the sub-frame 1 to transmit force, which conforms to the force transmission path of the first protection piece 31.

[0050] In addition, the notch 314 can make the water or foreign matter on the upper side fall from the notch 314, which is beneficial to the safety of driving. Moreover, the notch 314 can also reduce the weight of the first protection piece 31, which is beneficial to the lightweight design of the vehicle.

[0051] In some embodiments, the left segment 311, the connecting segment 313 and the right segment 312 can be integrally formed, which can reduce the number of parts of the protection structure 3 and simplify the assembly of the protection structure 3, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0052] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 2 to 7 As shown in FIG. 12, the subframe 1 includes a rear cross beam 11, and the second protective member 32 is arranged between the rear cross beam 11 and the battery pack 2 and covers at least part of the gap 314. In this way, the second protective member 32 can reduce the probability of foreign objects such as flying stones damaging the high-voltage wiring harness, the low-voltage wiring harness, and the cooling system through the gap 314, and protect the high-voltage interface 211, the low-voltage interface 212, and the cooling system interface 213. In addition, the second protective structure 3 can also improve the structural strength of the protective structure 3 at the gap 314, improve the connection strength between the left segment 311 and the right segment 312, improve the force transmission performance of the protective structure, and stabilize the force transmission path of the left segment 311 and the right segment 312 to improve the force transmission stability between the left segment 311 and the right segment 312. In some embodiments, the rear cross beam 11 can be configured as a stepped beam with a front low and a rear high, and the protective structure 3 can be connected to the higher side of the rear cross beam 11.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to Figures 2 to 5 and Figure 8 As shown in FIG. 12, the subframe 1 includes a rear cross beam 11, and the second protective member 32 is arranged between the rear cross beam 11 and the battery pack 2 and covers at least part of the gap 314. In this way, the second protective member 32 can reduce the probability of foreign objects such as flying stones damaging the high-voltage wiring harness, the low-voltage wiring harness, and the cooling system through the gap 314, and protect the high-voltage interface 211, the low-voltage interface 212, and the cooling system interface 213. In addition, the second protective structure 3 can also improve the structural strength of the protective structure 3 at the gap 314, improve the connection strength between the left segment 311 and the right segment 312, improve the force transmission performance of the protective structure, and stabilize the force transmission path of the left segment 311 and the right segment 312 to improve the force transmission stability between the left segment 311 and the right segment 312. In some embodiments, the rear cross beam 11 can be configured as a stepped beam with a front low and a rear high, and the protective structure 3 can be connected to the higher side of the rear cross beam 11.

[0054] In some embodiments, the distance between the first connecting portion 10 and the second connecting portion 20 can be greater than the distance between the third connecting portion 30 and the fourth connecting portion 40. In this way, the protective structure 3 with a front wide and a rear narrow can be connected between the battery pack 2 and the subframe 1, and this makes the width of the protective structure 3 between the first connecting portion 10 and the second connecting portion 20 greater than the width between the third connecting portion 30 and the fourth connecting portion 40, thereby making the protective structure 3 more difficult to deform as it goes further back, and the force transmission area formed by the protective structure 3 increases from the front side to the rear side, which can effectively disperse the transmitted force, reduce the deformation of the battery pack, and further protect the battery pack 2. At the same time, the force transmission area of the protective structure 3 at the first connecting portion 10 and the second connecting portion 20 is smaller, which can reduce the upper limit of the force it bears, and the force per unit area will be relatively large, thereby collapsing first during a collision, and the force transmission area of the protective structure 3 at the third connecting portion 30 and the fourth connecting portion 40 is larger, thereby being able to bear a larger force and thereby protecting the battery pack from damage, thereby the force borne by the protective structure 3 gradually changes from the front side to the rear side, i.e., the force gradually increases, which can achieve a more uniform load of the protective structure 3 to the force, so that it can be crushed in turn and gradually absorb energy, thereby reducing or even avoiding damage to the battery pack and protecting the passenger compartment. Here, referring to Figure 5As shown, the distance between the first connecting part 10 and the second connecting part 20 can be D1, and the distance between the third connecting part 30 and the fourth connecting part 40 can be D2.

[0055] In some implementations, reference Figures 2 to 5 as well as Figure 8 As shown, the left segment 311 may be provided with a fifth connecting part 50 connected to the battery pack 2. The line connecting the first connecting part 10 and the fifth connecting part 50 is in the same direction as the extension of the left longitudinal beam 12. In this way, when the vehicle is involved in a frontal collision, the left longitudinal beam 12 can transfer the impact force to the left segment 311 and then to the battery pack 2 through the force transmission path of the line connecting the first connecting part 10 and the fifth connecting part 50. This makes the force transmission paths of the left longitudinal beam 12 and the left segment 311 the same, and the left longitudinal beam 12 and the left segment 311 can transmit force as a whole in the front-rear direction. This helps to absorb the impact force and protect the battery cells and other components in the battery pack 2 from damage.

[0056] Similarly, refer to Figures 2 to 5 as well as Figure 8 As shown, the right segment 312 is provided with a sixth connecting part 60 that connects to the battery pack 2. The line connecting the second connecting part 20 and the sixth connecting part 60 follows the same extension trend as the left longitudinal beam 12. In this way, when the vehicle is involved in a frontal collision, the right longitudinal beam 13 can transfer the impact force to the right segment 312, and then to the battery pack 2 through the force transmission path of the line connecting the second connecting part 20 and the sixth connecting part 60. This makes the force transmission paths of the right longitudinal beam 13 and the right segment 312 basically the same, and the right longitudinal beam 13 and the right segment 312 can transmit force as a whole in the front-rear direction. This helps to absorb the impact force and protect the battery cells and other components in the battery pack 2 from damage.

[0057] In some embodiments, reference Figures 2 to 5 as well as Figure 8 As shown, the left segment 311 may be provided with a seventh connecting part 70 connected to the battery pack 2. The seventh connecting part 70 is located in front of the third connecting part 30. The line connecting the seventh connecting part 70 and the third connecting part 30 may have the same extension trend as the left longitudinal beam 12. In this way, when the vehicle is involved in a frontal collision, the left longitudinal beam 12 can transfer the impact force to the left segment 311, and further transfer it to the battery pack 2 through the force transmission path of the line connecting the seventh connecting part 70 and the third connecting part 30. This makes the force transmission path of the left longitudinal beam 12 and the left segment 311 the same, which can better transmit force. Moreover, since the third connecting part 30 and the seventh connecting part 70 are arranged on the force transmission path, the force transmission effect is better. In addition, the above-mentioned arrangement increases the number of connecting parts on the force transmission path of the left segment 311, which is conducive to absorbing the impact force and protecting the battery cells and other components in the battery pack 2 from damage.

[0058] Similarly, refer to Figures 2 to 5 as well asFigure 8 As shown in FIG. 12, the right section 312 is provided with a ninth connecting portion 90 connected with the battery pack 2, the ninth connecting portion 90 is located in front of the fourth connecting portion 40, and the connecting line between the ninth connecting portion 90 and the fourth connecting portion 40 is the same as the extension trend of the right longitudinal beam 13. In this way, when the vehicle is subjected to a frontal collision, the right longitudinal beam 13 can transmit the impact force to the right section 312, and further transmit the impact force to the battery pack 2 through the force transmission path of the connecting line between the ninth connecting portion 90 and the fourth connecting portion 40, so that the force transmission path of the right longitudinal beam 13 and the right section 312 is the same, and the force transmission is better. Because the fourth connecting portion 40 and the ninth connecting portion 90 are arranged on the force transmission path, the force transmission effect is better, and the above arrangement increases the number of connecting portions on the force transmission path of the right section 312, which is beneficial to absorbing the impact force and protecting the devices such as the battery cell in the battery pack 2 from being damaged.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to Figures 1 to 3 As shown in FIG. 12, the right section 312 is provided with a ninth connecting portion 90 connected with the battery pack 2, the ninth connecting portion 90 is located in front of the fourth connecting portion 40, and the connecting line between the ninth connecting portion 90 and the fourth connecting portion 40 is the same as the extension trend of the right longitudinal beam 13. In this way, when the vehicle is subjected to a frontal collision, the right longitudinal beam 13 can transmit the impact force to the right section 312, and further transmit the impact force to the battery pack 2 through the force transmission path of the connecting line between the ninth connecting portion 90 and the fourth connecting portion 40, so that the force transmission path of the right longitudinal beam 13 and the right section 312 is the same, and the force transmission is better. Because the fourth connecting portion 40 and the ninth connecting portion 90 are arranged on the force transmission path, the force transmission effect is better, and the above arrangement increases the number of connecting portions on the force transmission path of the right section 312, which is beneficial to absorbing the impact force and protecting the devices such as the battery cell in the battery pack 2 from being damaged.
