They also hinder quick replacement when individual cells need to be replaced. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a battery pack housing structure that is reasonable and simple, meets the design requirements for stability and safety, incorporates support functions, provides quick and easy positioning and installation, and is easy to assemble and disassemble, thus providing the market with more options.

[0021] 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.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model is a support box structure for a battery pack, mainly composed of a top cover (1), a CCS (2), and a support box (3). The significant structural designs of the three components are as follows:

[0023] The bracket box (3) is symmetrically provided with multiple box fasteners (30);

[0024] The CCS (2) is symmetrically formed with multiple lower inner undercuts (20) and upper outer undercuts (21);

[0025] The upper cover (1) is symmetrically provided with multiple upper cover fasteners (10).

[0026] According to the above structure, the CCS (2) of this utility model can be fixedly assembled with the bracket box (3) by the cooperation of its lower inner buckle (20) and the box fastener (30). The installation of the upper cover (1) is achieved by the fastening of the upper outer buckle (21) and the upper cover fastener (10). This structural design allows the components to be quickly and stably assembled based on the cooperation of the buckle and the fastener. Moreover, the fastener assembly does not require tooling, which simplifies the assembly process and improves production efficiency. When the number of fasteners and the design position are reasonable, its stability performance meets the usage standard. More importantly, this design facilitates future assembly, disassembly and maintenance.

[0027] Regarding the CCS (2), it is worth noting that the CCS (2) has reserved welding positions for the battery cell sheets, and a support protrusion (22) is formed at the welding position to limit and fix the battery cell sheets. This structural design facilitates the auxiliary positioning and limiting of the battery cell sheets for subsequent welding using a rapid positioning machine, avoiding the need for additional tools for fixing or displacement during the welding process, thus achieving a better welding effect. It is also worth mentioning that, in the same way, there are also limiting assembly holes (23) designed and formed according to the shape of the positive and negative electrodes of the battery cell, so as to fix the battery cell in the designed position before welding, ensuring accuracy and avoiding looseness, shaking or collision.

[0028] Regarding the bracket box (3), both sides of the bracket box (3) are provided with heat insulation plates (31). The heat insulation plates (31) are provided with slots (310) at equal intervals. The slots (310) are used for the installation and fixing of the heat insulation auxiliary plates (32) of the power cell. Each heat insulation auxiliary plate (32) of the power cell is provided with a longitudinal slot (320). The longitudinal slots (320) are used for the longitudinal heat insulation auxiliary plates (33) of the power cell to be fixed by slotting. This design fits the purpose of this utility model to simplify the assembly process and improve production efficiency. It can be quickly set up through simple slotting. As a fireproof and heat-insulating material, it can not only provide the functions of limiting, positioning and auxiliary installation when the power cell is installed, but also achieve heat insulation and fire prevention to avoid the spread of fire in the event of a sudden fire in the power cell through the partition established by such a partition. It can reduce the danger to a certain extent, improve safety, and at the very least avoid the rapid spread time.
