Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of new energy lithium battery technology, and in particular to a CTB battery pack cover. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional battery pack designs typically consist of multiple cells forming modules, which are then assembled into a battery pack. This design not only increases the weight and volume of the battery pack but also affects energy density and space utilization. To improve energy density and space utilization, CTB (Cell to Body) battery packs eliminate the battery pack's separators and module design, directly integrating the battery pack cover with the vehicle floor, thereby reducing thickness and increasing interior space. Compared to traditional battery packs, CTB battery pack covers require higher strength to support and protect occupant safety. Furthermore, dynamic scenarios involving heavy objects falling from seats or higher often cause greater deformation of the cover; existing battery pack covers only improve cover rigidity, offering little improvement in impact resistance.
