Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lithium battery technology, specifically to a liquid-cooled lithium battery module frame structure with adjustable gap. Background Technology

[0002] A lithium battery module frame is a component used to fix and protect lithium battery packs. Its main function is to provide a stable installation environment for lithium battery packs in liquid cooling systems, preventing them from shifting or colliding during operation, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of the battery pack. At the same time, the baffle can also effectively prevent external substances from interfering with the battery pack, ensuring the normal operation of the battery pack.

[0003] Some battery mounting components used in liquid-cooled lithium battery pack systems on the market cannot flexibly adjust the mounting gap during use, making it difficult to adapt to the installation of lithium battery packs of different sizes and models. Traditional components usually have fixed mounting structures and dimensions, and once manufactured, their mounting gaps cannot be adjusted according to actual needs. When using lithium battery packs of different sizes, cumbersome modifications or the search for suitable accessories are often required. This not only increases installation difficulty and time costs but may also potentially affect the performance and safety of the lithium battery pack. Therefore, a frame structure for the installation of liquid-cooled lithium battery modules is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a liquid-cooled lithium battery module frame structure with adjustable gaps. This structure offers advantages such as easy adjustment of the installation gap, solving the problem that some lithium battery pack mounting components on the market cannot flexibly adjust the installation gap during use, making it difficult to adapt to different sizes and models of lithium battery packs. Furthermore, this invention provides a novel liquid-cooling structure that uses a liquid distribution plate to ensure temperature uniformity during battery pack heat dissipation.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose of facilitating the adjustment of installation gaps, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model includes a fixing mechanism and an adjusting mechanism, wherein the adjusting mechanism is disposed on the fixing mechanism;

[0007] Fixing mechanism for mounting and supporting lithium battery packs;

[0008] An adjustment mechanism is provided for adjusting the installation gap of the lithium battery pack; the fixing mechanism includes an installation frame and a battery installation base frame, the battery installation base frame being disposed within the installation frame; the adjustment mechanism includes a lateral adjustment device and a longitudinal adjustment device, the lateral adjustment device being used to adjust the lateral gap of the lithium battery pack, and the longitudinal adjustment device being used to adjust the longitudinal gap of the lithium battery pack.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a liquid-cooled lithium battery module frame structure with adjustable gap, which has the following advantages: The adjustable gap baffle for lithium battery pack installation can drive the threaded rod to rotate under the cooperation of the rotating shaft by rotating the adjusting nut, thereby pushing the lateral gap adjusting plate to move left and right on the top of the battery mounting base frame to adjust the lateral gap. At the same time, by sliding the positioning plate in the longitudinal adjusting groove and fixing it with the positioning nut and the fixing hole, the longitudinal gap adjusting plate can be driven to move at both ends of the battery mounting base frame to adjust the longitudinal gap. This improves the flexibility and adaptability of lithium battery pack installation and facilitates the installation needs of lithium battery packs of different sizes and models in different environments.

The left and right ends of the liquid distribution plate 14 are connected to the mounting frame 1 by double-ended studs 15 and fixing nuts 16. The liquid distribution plate 14 is connected to the liquid cooling tank cover inflow assembly 18 by double-ended studs 15 and double-ended stud fixing nuts 16 to ensure the uniform distribution and flow of coolant.

[0019] It should be noted that the mounting frame 1 is the main structure of the entire adjustable gap baffle, providing a foundation for the installation and support of other components. It has several battery mounting base frames 2 arranged longitudinally inside for placing and fixing lithium battery packs. The convex block 3 ensures the stability and firmness of the battery mounting base frame 2 within the mounting frame 1. The spring washer 17 ensures the firmness between the mounting frame 1, the liquid distribution plate 14 and the liquid cooling tank cover inflow assembly 18. The liquid distribution plate 14 ensures that the flowing coolant can be evenly spread and poured into the liquid cooling tank.

[0020] In this embodiment, the adjustment mechanism includes a horizontal gap adjustment plate 5 disposed on the top right side of the battery mounting base frame 2, and a vertical gap adjustment plate 6 disposed on both the left and right ends of the battery mounting base frame 2.

The rotation of the threaded rod 8 can be driven by rotating the adjusting nut 9.

[0024] In this embodiment, the threaded rods 8 all penetrate the inner wall of the mounting frame 1, and an adjusting nut 9 is fixedly installed in the middle of the portion of the threaded rod 8 located on the left outer wall of the mounting frame 1.

[0025] It should be noted that the adjusting nut 9 is used to drive the rotation of the threaded rod 8, thereby driving the movement of the transverse clearance adjusting plate 5 to achieve the adjustment of the transverse clearance.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the threaded rod 8 is provided with longitudinal adjustment grooves 10 at both the left and right ends. The longitudinal adjustment grooves 10 are opened on the outer wall of the mounting frame 1, and the longitudinal adjustment grooves 10 are provided with fixing holes 11 at both the upper and lower ends.

[0027] It should be noted that the longitudinal adjustment groove 10 is used to accommodate the sliding of the positioning plate 12. Both its upper and lower ends are provided with fixing holes 11 for threaded connection with the positioning nut 13, thereby fixing the position of the positioning plate 12. The fixing holes 11 are used for threaded connection with the positioning nut 13, thereby fixing the position of the positioning plate 12, and thus fixing the position of the longitudinal gap adjustment plate 6.

[0028] In this embodiment, two positioning plates 12 are slidably connected to the outer wall of the longitudinal adjustment groove 10. The upper and lower ends of the two positioning plates 12 are threadedly connected to the fixing holes 11 with positioning nuts 13.
