[0034] This utility model relates to a detachable BDU battery pack structure, which can solve the problem of difficult BDU disassembly and maintenance, facilitate the individual replacement and maintenance of BDU, and greatly reduce the difficulty of BDU maintenance.

[0035] This utility model provides a detachable BDU battery pack structure, including a battery pack 2, a BDU structure 1, and a sealing ring 25. The electrical compartment of the battery pack has an opening 21, and the BDU structure 1 is disposed within the opening 21. The sealing ring 25 is disposed within the opening 21 of the electrical compartment and engages with the side of the BDU structure 1. A retractable overlapping aluminum sheet 22 is provided within the opening 21 along the BDU insertion direction, and multiple mounting grooves are provided on the side wall and bottom of the electrical compartment.

[0036] The BDU structure 1 includes multiple retractable fixing points 13 disposed on the side and bottom of the BDU, the retractable fixing points 13 cooperating with mounting grooves. The retractable fixing points 13 are hemispherical, and the mounting grooves are hemispherical grooves.

[0037] The BDU structure 1 also includes a buffer overlapping copper sheet 12 disposed on the side of the BDU along the insertion direction of the BDU, the buffer overlapping copper sheet 12 cooperating with a retractable overlapping aluminum sheet 22. The side of the BDU is provided with a side groove 11, and the buffer overlapping copper sheet 12 is disposed in the side groove 11.

[0038] The BDU structure 1 also includes two rotating pull rings 18, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the front end of the BDU.

[0039] The BDU structure 1 also includes a charging port 14 and a discharging port 15, which are respectively located at the middle of the front end of the BDU.

[0040] The BDU structure 1 also includes a low-voltage communication interface 16 and a high-voltage control interface 17, which are respectively located in the middle of the rear end of the BDU. The electrical compartment is equipped with a low-voltage communication connector 23 and a high-voltage control connector 24, which are matched with the low-voltage communication interface 16 and the high-voltage control interface 17, respectively.

[0041] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0042] This utility model has an opening at the front of the electrical compartment of the battery pack, and the BDU is arranged in the opening to facilitate the insertion and removal of the BDU.

[0043] BDU structure as follows Figures 1 to 3As shown, the BDU has side grooves on both sides corresponding to the retractable overlapping aluminum plates of the electrical compartment blades. Inside these grooves are two layers of buffer overlapping copper plates, forming an overlap area of ​​12mm in length and 18mm in width or more. This ensures the BDU's effective overlap area and filtration capacity, meeting the requirements of the battery pack. The BDU has four fixing points on both sides and at the bottom. These fixing points are hemispherical protrusions that are retractable. Corresponding hemispherical mounting grooves inside the electrical compartment facilitate insertion into these fixing points, securing the BDU when inserted into the corresponding position. Due to its hemispherical structure, it can be easily inserted or removed when sufficient insertion or removal force is applied.

[0044] The BDU front end integrates charging and discharging ports, while the low-voltage communication interface and high-voltage control interface are located at the rear end of the BDU, allowing access when the BDU is inserted into the electrical compartment. Two rotating pull rings are designed on both sides of the BDU front end. When the BDU needs maintenance, these rings can be rotated 90° forward and pulled out. After insertion, they can be rotated to a horizontal position with the front end, without occupying external space. Both the BDU front end and the electrical compartment front end are sealed with rubber sealing rings to ensure airtightness within the package.

[0045] Battery pack structure as follows Figures 4 to 6 As shown, retractable overlapping aluminum plates, in blade style, are designed on both sides of the opening of the battery pack's electrical compartment. These plates connect to the positive (B+) and negative (B-) terminals of the battery distribution unit (BDU), respectively. The positive (B+) and negative (B-) terminals of the BDU are then connected to the positive and negative terminals of the battery module, respectively. These retractable overlapping aluminum plates on both sides of the battery pack's electrical compartment are supported by a spring structure, allowing for lateral displacement and providing strong cushioning and absorption capabilities. This ensures that the BDU is not damaged during insertion. Furthermore, the spring support allows for a tight connection with the buffered overlapping copper plates within the side grooves of the BDU, ensuring normal operation even under vibration and impact.

[0046] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
