Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery protection technology, specifically a protection structure for lithium iron phosphate batteries used in parking vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] Lithium iron phosphate batteries are a type of battery in the lithium battery family. The positive electrode material is mainly lithium iron phosphate. Compared with traditional lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion batteries have significant advantages in terms of working voltage, energy density, and cycle life.

[0003] For example, Chinese Utility Model Patent Publication No. (CN214706104U) discloses a lithium battery for electric vehicles with a protective structure. This lithium battery includes a lithium battery pack, a pair of pressure plates, a protective shell, and multiple pairs of spring retaining rings. The pair of pressure plates are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lithium battery pack. Multiple pairs of pressure dividing blocks are connected to the side of the pressure plates closest to the lithium battery pack. Limiting sliding grooves matching the pressure dividing blocks are carved into the pressure plates. The protective shell is located outside the lithium battery pack, and a protective airbag is connected inside the protective shell. The protective airbag is connected to the pressure plates, and an interface airbag connects the protective shell and the lithium battery pack, communicating with the interface airbag. The spring retaining rings are fixedly connected inside the protective shell. The pair of protective shells are symmetrically arranged, and the spring retaining rings penetrate the protective airbag. This technology addresses the problem that existing lithium batteries are typically encased in protective shells, relying mainly on rubber or sponge structures for shock absorption. However, lithium batteries have a high energy density and generally lack sufficient buffer space when subjected to bumps, high temperatures, or impacts, making them highly susceptible to explosions or fires. Furthermore, the shock absorption effect of sponge or rubber is short-lived, significantly decreasing with prolonged use. This not only increases the burden on the electric bicycle frame but also damages the lithium battery pack, shortening its lifespan and affecting rider safety. However, existing batteries struggle to be both easily removable and effectively theft-proof. Easily removable lithium iron phosphate batteries are easily stolen when parked, while batteries fixed to a base are easy to remove and don't provide sufficient shock absorption, impacting practicality.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1This embodiment of a parking lithium iron phosphate battery protection structure includes a battery box 1, inside which is a lithium iron phosphate battery body 2. A connecting post 3 is fixed to the inner bottom wall of the battery box 1. The connecting post 3 is a cuboid with a hollow interior and missing upper and lower surfaces. A cover plate 4 is fixed to the upper surface of the connecting post 3. A protection mechanism 5 is provided on the battery box 1 to protect the lithium iron phosphate battery, which facilitates the removal of the lithium iron phosphate battery and improves the anti-theft performance of the lithium iron phosphate battery. A shock-absorbing mechanism 6 is provided on the connecting post 3 to reduce the impact on the lithium iron phosphate battery and prevent the lithium iron phosphate battery from being damaged when the battery box 1 is impacted.

[0022] The length of the cover plate 4 is equal to the distance between the left and right inner walls of the battery box 1, and the width of the cover plate 4 is equal to the distance between the front and rear inner walls of the battery box 1, so that the structure under the cover plate 4 can be sealed, reducing contact with the outside world and improving service life.

[0023] Please see Figure 2 To facilitate the removal of the lithium iron phosphate battery while enhancing its anti-theft capabilities, the protection mechanism 5 in this embodiment includes a lock block 501. A first mounting groove 502 is provided on the left side of the battery box 1. The lock block 501 is fixed to the inner side of the first mounting groove 502. A lock cylinder 503 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the lock block 501 via a bearing. When someone attempts to steal the battery, the lock cylinder 503 cannot be rotated without a matching key, thus preventing the removal of the lithium iron phosphate battery body 2. A threaded rod 504 is fixed to the right side of the lock cylinder 503. When a matching key is inserted into the lock cylinder 503 and the key is turned, the lock cylinder 503 rotates, causing the threaded rod 504 to rotate. The other end of the threaded rod 504 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the right side of the first mounting groove 502 via a bearing. A threaded block 505 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the threaded rod 504. The threaded rod 504 drives the threaded block 505 to move. A fixing component is provided on the threaded block 505.

[0024] In this example, the outer side of the threaded rod 504 has two threads in opposite directions, and they are symmetrically distributed about the central axis of the threaded rod 504.

[0025] It should be noted that the fixing assembly includes a fixing rod 506, and a connecting hole 507 is provided on the upper surface of the battery box 1. The inner diameter of the connecting hole 507 is adapted to the outer diameter of the lithium iron phosphate battery body 2. A second mounting groove 508 is provided on the inner side of the connecting hole 507. The front of the threaded block 505 penetrates and extends into the interior of the second mounting groove 508, and its right side is fixed to one end of the fixing rod 506. A locking block 509 is fixed to the other end of the fixing rod 506. The threaded block 505 drives the fixing rod 506 to move, and the fixing rod 506 drives the locking block 509 to move, thereby moving the locking block 509 away and opening the connecting hole 507. 7. Open the package. At this time, the lithium iron phosphate battery body 2 can be taken out. There are two threaded blocks 505, which are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides of the central axis of the threaded rod 504. Since the outer side of the threaded rod 504 has a bidirectional thread, the two threaded blocks 505 move in opposite directions, allowing the two threaded blocks 505 to move simultaneously. The number of second mounting slots 508 is equal to the number of threaded blocks 505, and their positions correspond one-to-one. The front inner wall of the first mounting slot 502 has two sliding openings. The two threaded blocks 505 are located inside the two sliding openings respectively, and the width of the sliding opening is adapted to the width of the threaded block 505.

[0026] Please see Figure 3 To prevent damage to the lithium iron phosphate battery when the battery box 1 is subjected to impact, the shock absorption mechanism 6 in this embodiment includes a buffer pad 601. The buffer pad 601 is fixed to the inner bottom wall of the battery box 1. When encountering a vertical impact, the locking block 509 can stabilize the position of the lithium iron phosphate battery body 2, and the buffer pad 601 absorbs the impact force to avoid damage to the lithium iron phosphate battery body 2. A damping pad 602 is fixed to the left side of the connecting column 3, and a spring 603 is fixed to the left side of the damping pad 602. The other end of the spring 603 is fixed... A limit block 604 is fixed, and a limit rod 605 is fixed on the right side of the limit block 604. The other end of the limit rod 605 passes through and extends to the inner side of the connecting column 3, and a support plate 606 is fixed thereon. When encountering a horizontal impact, the surrounding support plate 606 will support the lithium iron phosphate battery body 2 to prevent the lithium iron phosphate battery body 2 from colliding with the inner wall of the connecting column 3. The damping pad 602 absorbs the elastic force of the spring 603 to prevent the spring 603 from rebounding and causing repeated collisions between the support plate 606 and the lithium iron phosphate battery body 2.

[0027] In this example, there are no fewer than two damping pads 602, and they are arranged in pairs, symmetrically distributed around the central axis of the connecting post 3, so that the outer side of the lithium iron phosphate battery body 2 is uniformly protected.

[0028] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0029] (1) When the vehicle is parked, the lithium iron phosphate battery body 2 is placed inside the battery box 1. If someone wants to steal it, without a matching key, the lock cylinder 503 cannot be turned, and the latch 509 cannot be moved. The latch 509 blocks the connecting hole 507, and the lithium iron phosphate battery body 2 cannot be taken out of the battery box 1. To prevent the lithium iron phosphate battery body 2 from being stolen, when it is necessary to take out the lithium iron phosphate battery body 2, insert the matching key into the lock cylinder 503 and turn the key to make the lock cylinder 503 turn. The rotation of the lock cylinder 503 drives the threaded rod 504 to rotate. The threaded rod 504 drives the threaded block 505 to move. Since the threaded rod 504 has a bidirectional thread on the outside, the two threaded blocks 505 move in opposite directions. The threaded block 505 drives the fixed rod 506 to move. The fixed rod 506 drives the latch 509 to move, thereby moving the latch 509 to open the connecting hole 507. At this time, the lithium iron phosphate battery body 2 can be taken out.

[0030] (2) When the lithium iron phosphate battery body 2 is placed inside the battery box 1, the locking block 509 will keep the lithium iron phosphate battery body 2 fixed. When it encounters a vertical impact, the locking block 509 can stabilize the position of the lithium iron phosphate battery body 2. The buffer pad 601 absorbs the impact force to avoid damage to the lithium iron phosphate battery body 2. When it encounters a horizontal impact, the surrounding support plate 606 will support the lithium iron phosphate battery body 2 to avoid collision between the lithium iron phosphate battery body 2 and the inner wall of the connecting column 3. The damping pad 602 absorbs the elastic force of the spring 603 to avoid the spring 603 rebounding and causing repeated collisions between the support plate 606 and the lithium iron phosphate battery body 2.
