Figure 1As shown, the battery bottom guard plate at least includes: upper continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite 1, upper thermoplastic adhesive film 2, metal plate 3, thermoplastic resin frame 4, lower thermoplastic adhesive film 5 and lower continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite 6. The six layers of materials are fixedly connected to form an integral structure, and specifically, the six layers of materials can be fixed as an integral structure by means of hot pressing and cooling. For example, the layers of materials can be laid from bottom to top in the order of lower continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite 6, lower thermoplastic adhesive film 5, thermoplastic resin frame 4, metal plate 3, upper thermoplastic adhesive film 2 and upper continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite 1, and the whole is placed into a continuous Teflon compound machine for hot pressing, and then cooled and drawn out by a traction roller to form a composite plate, and finally cut to form the required battery bottom guard plate. The heating temperature can be 230 DEG C, the cooling temperature can be 5-10 DEG C, the height of the battery bottom guard plate can be set to 2.6 mm, and the speed is 1.5 m / min.
[0027] The battery bottom guard plate provided by the utility model, the six surfaces of the metal plate 3 are all wrapped by the thermoplastic resin layer, and in particular, the upper thermoplastic adhesive film 2 and the lower thermoplastic adhesive film 5 are additionally arranged on the upper surface and the lower surface of the metal plate 3, so that the protection of the resin layer on the metal plate 3 is increased compared with the traditional structure, the overall air tightness of the battery bottom guard plate and the corrosion resistance of the metal plate 3 are improved, and the water vapor barrier property of the battery bottom guard plate is better.
[0028] Optionally, the upper continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite 1 and the lower continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite 6 both comprise a plurality of layers of cross-laminated unidirectional composite material strips.
[0029] The unidirectional composite material strip is a UD (uni-directional) strip, and as the name implies, it is a material strip formed by arranging all reinforcing phase fibers in the same direction. In the embodiment of the utility model, the upper continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite 1 and the lower continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite 6 located at the top layer and the bottom layer respectively are both laminated by a plurality of layers of UD strips. Specifically, the plurality of layers of UD strips are cross-laminated and overlapped on the horizontal surface at an angle of 0 DEG or 90 DEG to form the upper continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite 1 or the lower continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite 6.
[0030] Optionally, the unidirectional composite material strip (UD strip) is a thermoplastic resin impregnated continuous fiber, that is, the unidirectional composite material strip is made of a thermoplastic resin impregnated continuous fiber.

Furthermore, the dimensions of the upper thermoplastic film 2 and the lower thermoplastic film 5 are larger than the dimensions of the metal plate 3, and smaller than or equal to the dimensions of the upper continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite 1 and the lower continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite 6.
[0032] Optionally, the thermoplastic resin frame 4 is used to surround the metal plate 3, and the ratio of the thickness of the thermoplastic resin frame 4 to the thickness of the metal plate 3 is 0.8 to 1.2.

Compared with fiber-reinforced thermoplastic resin materials, thermoplastic resin has better water vapor barrier properties. Further, the material of the thermoplastic resin frame 4 may include: polypropylene, polyethylene, polyamide, polycarbonate, polymethyl methacrylate, or modified materials of the above. Preferably, the material of the thermoplastic resin frame 4 is polypropylene.
[0033] Optionally, the thickness of the metal plate 3 is 0.5 to 2 mm; the metal plate 3 may include a steel plate, an aluminum plate, or a copper plate.

[0034] In existing technology, the battery underbody protection plate has holes directly drilled in the non-metallic area, and is directly connected to the vehicle chassis under a certain locking torque. However, since the battery pack is at the bottom of the vehicle, this connection method is not airtight enough, which can cause mud and sand to enter the battery pack. Over time, a large amount of mud and sand will accumulate inside the battery underbody protection plate, reducing the ground clearance of the battery underbody protection plate and increasing the risk of the battery underbody protection plate being scratched.
[0035] To solve this problem, the present invention relates to a battery bottom protective plate ( Figure 2 The non-metallic plate area (represented by reference numeral 10 in the attached drawing) has mounting holes, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the battery underbody plate is bolted to the vehicle chassis by accommodating the steel bushing 7 and screws 8 through mounting holes. This avoids directly connecting the battery underbody plate to the vehicle chassis using tightening torque, further improving the airtightness of the connection, preventing mud and sand from entering the battery pack, better maintaining the ground clearance of the battery underbody plate, reducing the risk of scratches, and making the overall system lighter. Specifically, the steel bushing 7 can be a C-shaped steel bushing, with a nickel-plated surface and a plating thickness of 10–20 μm.
[0036] Optionally, the opening distance of the mounting hole can be 20-150mm, and the distance between the hole edge of the mounting hole and the edge of the battery bottom guard plate can be 2-40mm.
[0037] Optionally, the steel bushing 7 protrudes the screw mounting surface of the battery bottom guard plate by 0.05-0.55mm. It can be understood that the steel bushing 7 protrudes the upper surface of the battery bottom guard plate 10 (i.e. the upper surface of the upper continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite 1) by 0.05-0.55mm, which can meet the installation torque requirement (5.5 newton force per meter) of the screw 8, and avoid cracks on the surface of the battery bottom guard plate 10 during installation.
[0038] Optionally, as shown in Figure 2 Optionally, the battery bottom guard plate further comprises: a foamed silica gel sealing pad 9 bonded to the mounting surface of the battery bottom guard plate. It can be understood that the mounting surface of the battery bottom guard plate is the lower surface of the battery bottom guard plate 10 (i.e. the lower surface of the lower continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite 6). The thickness of the foamed silica gel sealing pad 9 can be 2-5mm, the density can be 0.5-1.5kg / m3, and the hardness can be 25-35HA.
[0039] The battery bottom guard plate and the box assembly gap of the embodiment of the utility model are sealed by foamed silica gel, the hole position of the surrounding non-metal plate region is reasonable, the high barrier battery bottom guard plate and the foamed silica gel sealing pad 9 can be closely attached, and the air tightness can meet the IP67 level requirement. Further, the good sealing property of the battery bottom guard plate also improves the overall heat preservation property of the battery pack, reduces the condensate condensation of the liquid cooling plate, and further ensures the sealing and waterproof, and prevents short circuit accidents caused by water ingress.
