Figure 7This is a bottom view of an embodiment of the present invention; the present invention provides a lightweight automotive battery mounting frame, comprising a composite material frame 1, a reinforcing plate 2, a U-shaped bracket 3, and a power switch bracket 4. The composite material frame 1 is integrally formed. The matrix material of the composite material frame 1 includes, but is not limited to, resin, nylon, and plastic, and the reinforcing material includes, but is not limited to, glass fiber and basalt fiber. It is integrally formed using processes such as molding, injection molding, or RTM and has multiple mounting or connection holes. The composite material frame 1 has an upward opening to accommodate the battery. The composite material frame 1 includes a corrugated base plate 11 and side plates 12 connected to the base plate 11. The corrugated base plate 11 meets actual installation requirements and also improves the overall strength of the product. The side plates 12 are trapezoidal. The shape of the side plates 12 on both sides makes it easier to install batteries and cover plates (not shown). The composite material frame 1 has a symmetrical reinforcing plate 2 on one side. The reinforcing plate 2 can be a metal part. The inner side of the reinforcing plate 2 has a reinforcing rib 21. The upper edge of the reinforcing plate 2 has a flange 22. The upper part of the reinforcing plate 2 has a U-shaped bracket 3 for installing the cover plate. The U-shaped bracket 3 is welded or riveted to the flange 22 of the reinforcing plate 2. The reinforcing plate 2 is bolted or riveted to the side plate 12. The reinforcing plate 2 and the side plate 12 have through holes 121 for installing and fixing the entire fixed frame of this utility model. The middle part of the other side of the composite material frame 1 has a power switch bracket 4. The power switch bracket 4 is bolted or riveted to the composite material frame 1 to play a reinforcing role.

[0029] The following will refer to Figures 1 to 7 The working principle of this utility model will be explained.

[0030] In use, the battery is connected to the vehicle through the through hole 121 for installation. The battery is then fixed in the composite material frame 1, and finally, the cover plate is installed. This lightweight automotive battery mounting frame reduces weight by 30-50% compared to the original metal bracket. Furthermore, the composite material frame boasts high dimensional accuracy and toughness. While the fatigue strength of general metals is 40-50% of their tensile strength, composite materials can reach 70-80%. Therefore, the overall aging resistance and fatigue strength of the mounting frame surpass those of metal products. The bottom is designed with a corrugated structure and reinforced with a reinforcing plate, resulting in higher structural stability. This ensures product performance while protecting the battery from external forces. Moreover, the structure is simple, manufacturing costs are low, and manual installation is convenient, reducing labor intensity and making it suitable for widespread application.

[0031] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
