The following is a relatively preferred one of the plurality of possible embodiments of the utility model, which is intended to provide a basic understanding of the utility model, but is not intended to confirm the key or decisive elements or limit the scope of protection.

[0030] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values should be interpreted as merely exemplary, and not as a limitation. Thus, other examples of example embodiments can have different values.

[0031] Techniques, methods, and apparatus known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art can not be discussed in detail herein, but should be considered as if the techniques, methods, and apparatus were discussed in detail herein, where appropriate.

[0032] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to like items in the several views of the drawings, and as such, definitions of those items in one view are deemed to be incorporated in the definitions in the other views. It is to be understood that the drawings are not necessarily to scale.

[0033] It should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connecting" should be interpreted broadly, for example, can be fixedly connected, can be detachably connected, or integrally connected; can be mechanically connected, can be electrically connected; can be directly connected, can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, can be internal communication of two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 and 2 The embodiment of the utility model provides a new energy automobile power battery protection device, including from bottom to top fixedly stacked bottom plate 1, buffer layer 2, cover plate 3 and heat dissipation layer (not shown in the figure).

[0035] Among them, the bottom plate 1 is arranged at the bottom of the automobile and is used for directly receiving external collision. The bottom plate 1 generally adopts high-strength aluminum alloy material and has good impact resistance.

[0036] As Figure 5and 6 As shown, the buffer layer 2 plays a major role in resisting external impact, and the inner concave angle negative Poisson's ratio structure can effectively absorb impact and vibration energy while ensuring lightweight. Specifically, the inner concave angle negative Poisson's ratio structure is composed of inner concave angle cells 201, which are two isosceles trapezoidal cavities connected symmetrically up and down to form inner concave angles 204 on both sides. Each inner concave angle cell 201 is arranged in multiple rows and columns, with each row of inner concave angle cells 201 spaced apart, and each column of inner concave angle cells 201 continuously arranged and connected in turn. The adjacent two rows of inner concave angle cells 201 are staggered in the vertical direction, so that in any three consecutive rows of inner concave angle cells 201, each inner concave angle cell 201 in the middle row is embedded between the adjacent four inner concave angle cells 201 in the two rows on both sides.

[0037] As shown, Figure 7 In this embodiment, the inner concave angle cell 201 includes an upper cavity 202 and a lower cavity 203, both of which are isosceles trapezoidal. The width gradually decreases from both sides to the middle, and in any three consecutive rows of inner concave angle cells 201, the upper cavity 202 of the inner concave angle cell 201 in the middle row is embedded between the adjacent two lower cavities 203 of the inner concave angle cell 201 in the row above, and the lower cavity 203 of the inner concave angle cell 201 in the middle row is embedded between the adjacent two upper cavities 202 of the inner concave angle cell 201 in the row below. In this way, the inner concave angle cell 201 forms a complete inner concave angle negative Poisson's ratio structure in an array.

[0038] It should be noted that although the inner concave angle negative Poisson's ratio structure in this embodiment is composed of only three rows of inner concave angle cells 201, in other embodiments, the number of rows of inner concave angle cells 201 can be set to more as needed for actual application. Similarly, the number of columns of inner concave angle cells 201 can also be flexibly set according to actual application needs.

[0039] When the buffer layer 2 is impacted, the inner concave angle negative Poisson's ratio structure rotates or moves in the opposite direction, causing the inner concave angle cells 201 to shrink in the direction perpendicular to the compressive stress, and even collapse, absorbing stress, thereby protecting the power battery. Compared with the traditional honeycomb negative Poisson's ratio structure, it has higher strength and stiffness, as well as more excellent energy absorption performance.

[0040] The buffer layer 2 can be integrally formed by 3D printing, so as to ensure higher structural strength. In this embodiment, the material of the buffer layer 2 is magnesium-aluminum alloy, which has low density, excellent casting performance, good thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance, and can effectively absorb impact and vibration energy while ensuring the lightweight of the buffer layer 2.

[0041] As shown in Figure 3 and 8 The cover plate 3 is used to arrange the heat dissipation layer. In this embodiment, the upper surface of the bottom plate 1 is provided with a receiving groove 101, and the buffer layer 2 is embedded in the receiving groove 101. The edge of the bottom plate 1 is wider than the power battery, and together with the buffer layer 2, it forms a crushing space to facilitate the crushing after being hit. The cover plate 3 covers the receiving groove 101, and the heat dissipation layer is arranged on the upper surface of the cover plate 3, so that the upper surface of the heat dissipation layer can be directly in contact with the power battery. The cover plate 3 is generally made of aluminum alloy material, which can play a good heat conduction effect.

[0042] The heat dissipation layer is made of thermoelectric material. Thermoelectric material has the function of converting electrical energy and heat energy under the action of electric field and temperature gradient. The selection of thermoelectric material includes but is not limited to bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3), lead telluride (PbTe) and silicon-germanium alloy (SiGe), etc. The heat dissipation layer heats the power battery when the new energy vehicle starts, maintains a suitable temperature range, and then conducts the excess heat generated when the power battery works normally. Realize heat dissipation, prevent battery overheating, and improve the overall safety of the battery.

[0043] In this embodiment, the heat dissipation layer includes a plurality of thermoelectric sheets, each of which covers the upper surface of the cover plate 3, ensuring that there is no air gap between the thermoelectric sheets and the aluminum alloy plate to enhance the heat conduction efficiency. Each of the thermoelectric sheets is connected by a flexible wire for current transmission. In actual application, a temperature sensor can also be installed near the thermoelectric sheet to monitor the temperature of the power battery unit in real time, so as to adjust the current size of the thermoelectric sheet according to the temperature of the power battery unit to realize heating or heat dissipation.

[0044] In addition, the bottom plate 1, the buffer layer 2 and the cover plate 3 are bonded by an adhesive to stably connect the bottom plate 1, the buffer layer 2 and the cover plate 3. The cover plate 3 and the heat dissipation layer are connected by a heat-conducting adhesive to ensure good thermal conductivity.

[0045] The new energy automobile power battery protection device can be directly installed on the chassis of the new energy automobile, below the power battery.

[0046] Considering that the lower surface of the bottom plate 1 is exposed, it will be directly subjected to collision. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the lower surface of the bottom plate 1 is provided with honeycomb-shaped reinforcing ribs 104, which can reduce the weight, disperse and resist external force, improve the strength and rigidity of the bottom, and better maintain the integrity and stability of the bottom plate 1.

[0047] The new energy automobile power battery protection device of the utility model is applied to the new energy automobile, and when the automobile is subjected to collision, the bottom plate 1 first resists the impact, the buffer layer 2 further absorbs the energy generated by the impact, and the heat dissipation layer first heats the power battery when the new energy automobile starts, maintains a suitable temperature range, and then conducts the excessive heat generated by the power battery to dissipate heat when the power battery normally works. In this way, the new energy automobile power battery protection device of the utility model is installed below the chassis of the automobile, has the advantages of simple structure, convenient disassembly, and collision prevention, heating and heat dissipation functions. The service life of the power battery is prolonged, the failure rate is reduced, and the overall performance and user satisfaction of the new energy automobile are improved.

[0048] In this paper, the front, back, up, down and other orientation words are defined by the position of the parts in the drawing and the position of the parts relative to each other in the drawing, only to express the clear and convenient technical scheme. It should be understood that they are relative concepts, which can be changed accordingly according to different ways of use and placement, and the use of the orientation words should not limit the scope of the application.

[0049] In the case of no conflict, the above-mentioned embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The above-mentioned only for the preferred embodiments of the utility model, and does not limit the utility model, any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principle of the utility model, should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
