[0044] The bottom of the aluminum profile lower shell 7 is equipped with an anti-slip pad 4 to enhance the stability of the shell assembly 1 during installation and use.
[0045] The upper aluminum profile shell 2 and the lower aluminum profile shell 7 are respectively provided with matching connecting plates 12 and 9 at their respective side edges. Connecting plates 12 and 9 are made of the same aluminum alloy material as the shells to ensure the strength and consistency of the overall structure.
[0046] A sealing gasket 5 is provided at the connection between connecting plate 12 and connecting plate 9. The sealing gasket 5 is made of high temperature and corrosion resistant rubber material, which can effectively prevent external dust and moisture from entering the casing and ensure that the working environment of the lithium battery is dry and clean.
[0047] Multiple connection holes are evenly distributed on the connecting plate 12 and the connecting plate 9. Each connection hole is fitted with a fastening screw 8. The fastening screw 8 is made of high-strength stainless steel, which has good corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, ensuring a firm connection between the connecting plate 12 and the connecting plate 9.
[0048] The distribution and number of the connecting holes are precisely designed to ensure that the connecting plate 12 and the connecting plate 9 are subjected to uniform force during the connection process, avoiding structural deformation or damage caused by excessive local force.

[0051] One end of each heat dissipation fin 4 penetrates the side wall of the upper aluminum profile shell 2 and the lower aluminum profile shell 7 and extends into the interior of the heat exchange cavity 24, while the other end of the heat dissipation fin 4 extends into the outer space of the upper aluminum profile shell 2 and the lower aluminum profile shell 7.
[0052] The housing assembly 1 has a battery mounting compartment 26 inside for mounting the battery pack.
[0053] The battery mounting compartment 26 is located in the center of the housing assembly 1, with the inner walls of the upper aluminum profile shell 2 and the lower aluminum profile shell 7 on either side. Heat exchange cavities 24 are respectively provided on the inner walls of the upper aluminum profile shell 2 and the lower aluminum profile shell 7. The main function of the heat exchange cavities 24 is to dissipate the heat generated by the battery pack during charging and discharging through convection heat transfer.
[0054] A protective mesh plate 25 is installed between the battery mounting compartment 26 and the heat exchange cavity 24 via a connector slot 23. The function of the protective mesh plate 25 is to prevent collisions between the battery assembly and the heat sink fins.

[0056] One end of the heat dissipation fin 4 penetrates the sidewalls of the upper aluminum profile shell 2 and the lower aluminum profile shell 7, and extends into the interior of the heat exchange cavity 24. The purpose of this design is to increase the heat dissipation area and improve the heat exchange efficiency. The other end of the heat dissipation fin 4 extends to the outer space of the upper aluminum profile shell 2 and the lower aluminum profile shell 7, so that heat can be transferred to the external environment through the fins.
[0057] The heat dissipation fins 4 are made of aluminum alloy, which has excellent thermal conductivity. The thickness of the heat dissipation fins is 1-2 mm, the height is 20-30 mm, and the spacing is 5-10 mm. This design ensures sufficient heat dissipation area while avoiding mutual interference between the fins, ensuring smooth airflow.
[0058] The housing assembly 1 has an air inlet 13 and an air outlet 19 at both ends. The upper aluminum profile 2 and the lower aluminum profile 7 outside the air inlet 13 and the air outlet 19 are provided with recessed grooves 27 at both ends. A dustproof net 21 is installed inside the recessed groove 27 through a magnet block 18.
[0059] The inner sidewalls of the upper aluminum profile shell 2 and the lower aluminum profile shell 7 are respectively provided with heat dissipation channels 16 and 22, which are connected to the air inlet 13 and the air outlet 19 through the first flow channel 17 and the second flow channel 15. The two ends of the shell assembly 1 outside the air inlet 13 and the air outlet 19 are respectively equipped with air inlet end cap 11 and air outlet end cap 5. The inner side of the air inlet end cap 11 and the air outlet end cap 5 is equipped with an air intake fan 14 and an air outlet fan 20.
[0060] Both the air inlet end cover 11 and the air outlet end cover 5 have air holes 10 evenly arranged on their side walls.
[0061] The housing assembly 1 has an air inlet 13 and an air outlet 19 at its two ends for air to enter and exit.
[0062] Air inlet 13 and air outlet 19 are located at both ends of housing assembly 1, and recessed grooves 27 are provided at both ends of the outer aluminum profile upper shell 2 and aluminum profile lower shell 7. The recessed grooves 27 are designed with a moderate depth to ensure convenient installation and removal of dust filter 21. The dust filter 21 is installed inside the recessed groove 27 by magnetic blocks 18. The magnetism of the magnetic blocks 18 is sufficient to ensure that the dust filter 21 will not fall off during normal use, while also facilitating the removal and cleaning of the dust filter.
[0063] The upper aluminum profile shell 2 and the lower aluminum profile shell 7 have heat dissipation channels 1-16 and 22 respectively installed inside their side walls. Heat dissipation channel 1-16 is connected to the air inlet 13 via a guide channel 1-17, and heat dissipation channel 2-22 is connected to the exhaust outlet 19 via a guide channel 2-15. The design of guide channels 1-17 and 2-15 ensures smooth airflow and improves heat dissipation efficiency.
[0064] An air inlet end cap 11 and an air outlet end cap 5 are respectively installed at both ends of the outer casing assembly 1 of the air inlet 13 and the air outlet 19. An intake fan 14 and an exhaust fan 20 are respectively installed on the inner side of the air inlet end cap 11 and the air outlet end cap 5 to force airflow and enhance heat dissipation. Air vents 10 are evenly arranged on the side walls of both the air inlet end cap 11 and the air outlet end cap 5. The distribution and size of the air vents 10 have been optimized to ensure uniform and efficient airflow.
[0065] When this application embodiment is used,
[0066] When a new energy electric vehicle is in operation, the lithium battery is charged and discharged in the battery mounting compartment 26, generating a large amount of heat. The heat is conducted through the wall of the battery mounting compartment 26 to the heat exchange cavity 24 inside the aluminum profile upper shell 2 and aluminum profile lower shell 7. The heat dissipation fins 4 located in the heat exchange cavity 24 absorb the heat in the heat exchange cavity 24. Since the heat dissipation fins 4 are made of aluminum alloy, which has good thermal conductivity, the heat is quickly conducted through the heat dissipation fins 4 to the part that extends to the outer space of the aluminum profile upper shell 2 and aluminum profile lower shell 7.
[0067] When the intake fan 14 starts, outside air enters the intake port 13 through the air vent 10 on the side wall of the intake end cover 11. 5. The air entering the intake port 13 is guided into the heat dissipation channel 16 by the flow guide channel 17. In the heat dissipation channel 16, the air exchanges heat with the heat dissipation fins 4, absorbing the heat from the heat dissipation fins 4, and the air temperature rises. The heated air enters the heat dissipation channel 22 through the flow guide channel 25. Finally, the heated air is discharged into the outside environment through the exhaust port 19 by the exhaust fan 20, completing one air circulation heat dissipation process. This continuous circulation maintains the appropriate operating temperature of the lithium battery.
[0068] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
