Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein relate to the field of tricycle technology, and more specifically, to a tricycle battery box structure. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the battery box structures commonly found in the market for tricycles have several problems. On the one hand, the installation and fixation of the battery inside the battery box are not secure or reliable enough. In some existing battery box structures, the connection between the battery and the box body is relatively simple. During vehicle operation, especially when passing through bumpy roads, the battery is prone to shaking and displacement. This can not only cause the connecting wires between the batteries to loosen or even fall off, affecting the stability of power transmission, but also damage the battery casing or clamped wires due to battery collisions, posing a safety hazard. On the other hand, the wiring design of the battery box is unreasonable. Inside existing battery boxes, the battery wires are often arranged in a messy and disorganized manner, lacking effective organization and protection measures. This can easily lead to problems such as wire wear and short circuits, which in turn affect the normal use of the battery and the driving safety of the vehicle. Moreover, due to the unreasonable wiring, the installation, removal, and maintenance of the battery are more difficult to operate, and consume more time and labor costs.
[0003] More importantly, the front seat is fastened to the frame with screws. For tricycles that stand in a triangular configuration, the battery weight accounts for a large proportion of the overall vehicle weight. The battery's center of gravity is forward and heavy, and its position is higher than the main body plane. This will cause the tricycle to wobble and become unstable when riding, posing a risk of tipping over when turning. In addition, due to the compact body layout, the rear passenger has no space to stretch their legs forward, making the ride uncomfortable. Lowering the battery's center of gravity solves the problem of tipping over when turning, improves the ergonomics of the small space between the front and rear passengers, and enhances the rider's stability. At the same time, laying the battery flat or lowering the center of gravity makes the vehicle less likely to be blown over in windy weather. Laying the battery flat can extend the battery's life and increase the capacity of a single battery discharge (especially noticeable in winter). Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, the embodiments of this disclosure provide a battery box structure for a tricycle, which solves the problems of unstable center of gravity and swaying of the tricycle body when riding, the risk of overturning when turning, and the discomfort of the rear passenger due to the compact body layout and lack of legroom for the rear passenger. Moreover, the flat placement of the battery or the lowering of the center of gravity solves the technical problems of easy overturning when turning and small human-machine space for the front and rear passengers when riding the vehicle.
[0005] According to one aspect, at least one embodiment of this disclosure provides a battery box structure for a three-wheeled vehicle, comprising:
[0006] The vehicle frame has a battery box located at its bottom.
[0007] A battery mounting assembly, wherein the battery mounting assembly is disposed within the battery compartment;
[0008] The battery mounting assembly includes a housing side plate, which is disposed on the side wall of the battery box. A battery top block is disposed on the inner side wall of the housing side plate. The number of battery top blocks is several, and the multiple battery top blocks are on the same horizontal line and are evenly distributed on the inner side wall of the battery box. A wire groove is opened on the side wall of the battery box, and a number of housing reinforcing ribs are disposed on the outer side wall of the battery box on opposite sides of the wire groove.
[0009] As a further technical solution, a partition frame is arranged horizontally on the inner bottom surface of the battery box, and the battery box is divided into two cavities by the partition frame. The partition frame has a wire passage cavity inside, and the wire passage cavity is connected to the wire groove.
[0010] As a further technical solution, a seat is provided on the upper surface of the vehicle frame, and the seat is located directly above the battery box.
[0011] As a further technical solution, the battery top block is formed by bending a metal sheet, the battery top block has a Z-shaped structure, and the battery top block is connected to the side plate of the housing by welding.
[0012] As a further technical solution, a roof frame is installed on the upper surface of the vehicle frame. The roof frame has an arc-shaped structure and is connected to opposite sides of the top of the vehicle frame.
[0013] The beneficial effects of the embodiments disclosed herein are as follows:
[0014] 1. In this disclosure, the inner wall of the side panel of the battery mounting assembly is provided with multiple battery top blocks that are evenly distributed and on the same horizontal line. These top blocks are formed by bending metal sheets in a Z-shape and welding them to the vehicle frame. This can securely and stably fix the battery, effectively preventing battery shaking, displacement and collision when the vehicle is in motion. This not only extends the battery's service life but also greatly reduces the safety risks caused by battery problems, ensuring stable vehicle operation.
[0015] 2. In this disclosure, the lowering of the battery's center of gravity solves the problem of easy tipping over when turning, the small human-machine space when the front and rear passengers are seated in the vehicle improves comfort, and the stability of the rider is improved by laying the battery flat or lowering the center of gravity. At the same time, the lowering of the battery's center of gravity makes it less likely for the vehicle to be blown over by the wind when parked in windy weather. Laying the battery flat can extend the battery's life and increase the capacity of a single battery discharge. Attached Figure Description

[0026] like Figures 1-2 As shown, it illustrates a battery box structure for a three-wheeled vehicle according to this disclosure, characterized by comprising:
[0027] The frame 1 has a battery box 2 installed at its bottom.
[0028] Battery mounting assembly 3 is installed inside battery box 2;
[0029] The battery mounting assembly 3 includes a box side plate 3-1, which is set on the side wall of the battery box 2. The inner side wall of the box side plate 3-1 is provided with battery top blocks 3-2. There are several battery top blocks 3-2, which are on the same horizontal line and are evenly distributed on the inner side wall of the battery box 2. The side wall of the battery box has a wire groove 3-3. The outer side wall of the battery box is provided with several box reinforcing ribs 3-4 on the opposite sides of the wire groove 3-3.
[0030] like Figures 1-2 As shown in the figure, this embodiment proposes that the inner bottom surface of the battery box 2 is provided with a partition frame 3-5 arranged in a row. The battery box 2 is divided into two cavities 3-6 by the partition frame 3-5. The partition frame 3-5 is provided with a wire passage cavity 3-7, which is connected to the wire groove 3-3.
[0031] like Figures 1-2As shown, in this embodiment, a seat 4 is provided on the upper surface of the frame 1, which corresponds to the top of the battery box 2. The battery top block 3-2 is formed by bending a metal sheet and has a Z-shaped structure. The battery top block 3-2 is connected to the side plate 3-1 of the box by welding. A canopy frame 5 is installed on the upper surface of the frame 1. The canopy frame 5 has an arc-shaped structure and is connected to the top of the frame 1 on both sides.
[0032] In some examples, a suitable material for the frame 1, such as high-strength steel, is selected to ensure it can withstand various stresses during vehicle operation, as well as the weight of the battery box 2 and the battery. The mounting positions and connection structures for the battery box 2 are pre-designed at the bottom of the frame 1, such as welding or riveting mounting brackets to secure the battery box 2. The position and size of the mounting brackets must precisely match the battery box 2. Battery top blocks 3-2 are prepared by bending metal sheets into a Z-shaped structure. According to design requirements, multiple battery top blocks 3-2 are evenly distributed on the inner sidewall of the box side plate 3-1 and are on the same horizontal line. Then, the battery top blocks 3-2 are firmly connected to the box side plate 3-1 through welding, ensuring the strength of the connection and preventing the battery top blocks 3-2 from loosening during use. Wire grooves 3-3 are cut into the sidewall of the battery box according to the design dimensions. The size and shape of the wire grooves 3-3 must meet the requirements for wire passage. Meanwhile, on the opposite sides of the outer wall of the battery box located in the wire groove 3-3, several box reinforcing ribs 3-4 are installed by means of stamping or welding to enhance the structural strength of the battery box.
[0033] To prevent battery movement, the side panel 3-1 of the enclosure is connected to the battery box 2. To control the gap, the side panel 3-1 of the enclosure is connected to the top block 3-2 of the battery by welding or other means. The battery box 2 is connected to the enclosure reinforcing rib 3-4 through the frame 1 to increase the load-bearing capacity and firmness of the battery box 2. This constitutes a battery box 2 located at the bottom of the frame 1, in which the battery can be placed vertically or horizontally. The battery box 2 can be realized by splicing, welding, stamping, casting or other methods.
[0034] Batteries can be installed from the sides or top. First, install the batteries in the battery box 2. Next, connect the batteries in an orderly manner with wires. Next, connect the main battery connection line to the main wiring harness through the wire groove 3-3. Next, fill the gaps on each side of the battery with fireproof material to prevent movement. Next, install and connect the side panel 3-1 of the box to the battery box 2. Next, install the relevant upper cover and front seat 4 and other components to form a complete vehicle.
[0035] There are various ways to place batteries: flat, upright, sideways, inverted, etc. However, in this technical solution, the battery is placed flat or the volume of the battery surface is reduced, which can extend the battery life and increase the battery's single discharge capacity. It performs particularly well in low-temperature environments. Especially when the battery is placed on its side, the electrical energy response is more complete, making its power supply efficiency better and increasing the range.
[0036] Lowering the battery's center of gravity solves the problems of easy tipping over when turning, reduces the ergonomics of the vehicle when passengers are seated at different positions, improves rider stability, and prevents the vehicle from being blown over in windy weather. This also extends battery life and increases the capacity of a single battery discharge.
[0037] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this disclosure and are not intended to limit it. Although this disclosure has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this disclosure, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this disclosure.
