Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a composite material roof power battery rack for a bus, belonging to the technical field of power battery racks. Background Technology
[0002] Existing bus roof-mounted battery racks are all made of carbon steel welded grid frames, with the construction method involving the cutting and welding of carbon steel profiles. This method requires the positioning and welding of the profiles that make up the grid structure. However, due to the numerous welding joints and the fact that the battery rack is a planar grid structure, the welding stress is high, and the welding deformation is large. This requires heavy and sturdy tooling. Even after the workpiece is removed from the tooling, residual stress is still released, causing the product to twist to some extent. After being assembled on the roof, this has a negative impact on the roof structure. Furthermore, the metal battery rack is heavy, has low corrosion resistance, increases the vehicle's weight, thereby increasing energy consumption, increasing braking distance, and negatively impacting the overall vehicle safety.

[0024] Combination Figures 1 to 8 This utility model relates to a composite material roof-mounted power battery rack for buses, comprising a power battery rack body 1 with a frame structure; connecting legs 2 are fixedly connected to the edge of the power battery rack body 1. The power battery rack body 1 has rounded rectangular holes pre-drilled according to design requirements and adapted to the power battery pack, and the power battery rack body 1 has holes at the edge of the rounded rectangular holes for fixed connection with the power battery pack. The connecting legs 2 are made of metal, facilitating the fixed connection of the composite material roof-mounted power battery rack to the bus.
[0025] Furthermore, the power battery rack body 1 and the connecting leg 2 are fixedly connected by a set of fixing bolts 3, or other suitable connection methods may also be used.
[0026] The power battery frame body 1 includes an outer layer fiber fabric 10 and an inner layer fiber fabric 11, as well as a sandwich foam 12 disposed between the outer layer fiber fabric 10 and the inner layer fiber fabric 11 and a set number of pultruded groove beams 13; the outer layer fiber fabric 10 and the inner layer fiber fabric 11 in the power battery frame body 1 are fixed by a cured resin phase.
[0027] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the number of pultruded channel beams 13 is five. Of course, the number of pultruded channel beams 13 can also be selected according to the length of the power battery rack. Pre-embedded connectors 4 are fixedly provided at both ends of the pultruded channel beams 13, and the pre-embedded connectors 4 are fixedly connected to the connecting legs 2. The pre-embedded connectors 4 can be made of metal, such as stainless steel.
[0028] Furthermore, the pultruded channel beam 13 is a carbon fiber pultruded channel beam. The pultruded channel beam 13 made of carbon fiber has the advantage of being lighter than a channel beam made of metal. In this embodiment, the five pultruded channel beams 13 are arranged in parallel, and the two sides of the power battery frame body 1 parallel to the pultruded channel beams 13 are curved. Furthermore, a sandwich foam 12 perpendicular to the pultruded channel beams 13 is also provided on the power battery frame body 1. The outer layer fiber fabric 10 and the inner layer fiber fabric 11, which are connected by resin curing, form a protrusion at the location of the sandwich foam 12. That is, a recessed portion is present on one surface of the inner layer fiber fabric 11, while one side of the outer layer fiber fabric 11 is planar. A rounded rectangular hole is present at the bottom of the recessed portion.

[0030] Furthermore, the connecting leg 2 includes a bent support body 21, and a reinforcing connecting plate 22 is provided on the support body 21. Specifically, the support body 21 has three bent metal plates, and a reinforcing connecting plate 22 is provided between two adjacent metal plates to increase the strength of the connecting leg.
[0031] Furthermore, the pre-embedded connector 4 includes a channel-shaped portion 41 and a connecting plate 42. The channel-shaped portion 41 is fixedly connected to the end of the pultruded channel beam 13, and the connecting plate 42 is fixedly connected to the connecting support leg 2. Connecting holes are provided on the two side walls of the channel-shaped portion 41 for connecting to the side walls of the pultruded channel beam 13. Similarly, holes are provided on the bottom plate of the channel-shaped portion 41 for connecting to the bottom plate of the pultruded channel beam 13.
[0032] The manufacturing process of a composite material roof power battery rack for a bus involved in this embodiment is as follows:
[0033] The outer dimensions of the power battery rack are determined based on the combination of the power battery pack, and the mold for the battery rack is designed and manufactured. Then, the power battery rack is manufactured on the mold. Specifically, the outer layer of fiber fabric 10 is laid first, and the pultruded channel beam 13 and the prefabricated sandwich foam 12 are placed in the designated position close to the outer layer of fiber fabric 10. Then, the inner layer of fiber fabric 13 is laid, the mold is closed, vacuum is drawn, resin is poured in, and the resin is heated to cure. The mold is then removed, the shape is modified, and the prefabricated connecting legs 2 are fixedly connected to the power battery rack in the designated position. After inspection and approval, the battery rack is put into storage.
