Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power battery pack technology, and more specifically, to a built-in charging system for power batteries. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, the widespread adoption of new energy vehicles has driven the rapid development of power battery technology, with charging efficiency and system integration becoming key research areas in the industry. Currently, mainstream solutions typically require power battery packs to be paired with independent external chargers, which connect to fixed charging stations or mobile charging devices via plug-in interfaces to replenish energy. While advancements in fast charging technology and charging station network construction have improved charging speed and convenience to some extent, the underlying logic still relies on the physical separation of the battery and charger.
[0003] Despite continuous technological optimization, existing solutions still have significant limitations: the binding relationship between external chargers and fixed charging stations prevents users from escaping location restrictions, making it difficult to achieve immediate power replenishment, especially in remote areas or emergency scenarios. At the same time, because the external charger and battery pack adopt a separate design, users must repeatedly physically connect the charger output terminal to the battery pack charging interface in different charging scenarios. Frequent plugging and unplugging of the charging interface can easily cause oxidation and wear of the connector's metal contacts. Long-term use may lead to problems such as poor contact and arc discharge, directly affecting charging safety and equipment lifespan. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a built-in charging system for power batteries to solve the problems of limited charging scenarios and equipment damage caused by frequent plugging and unplugging of interfaces in the prior art due to reliance on external chargers.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, a built-in charging system for power batteries is provided, including a battery box. The battery box contains, from top to bottom, a charging layer, a control layer, and a battery layer, all physically separated by partitions.
[0006] The upper and lower partitions of the control layer are coated with an electromagnetic shielding coating.
[0007] The partitions of the charging layer, control layer, and battery layer are all detachably and fixedly connected.
[0008] A charger is provided in the charging layer, a battery controller is provided in the control layer, and a battery pack is provided in the battery layer. The charger, battery controller, and battery pack are electrically connected through plug-in terminals.
[0009] In the above technical solution, by vertically separating the charging layer, control layer, and battery layer, the charger generates a large amount of heat due to energy loss during the power conversion process of converting AC to DC. Therefore, the charger is placed on the top layer and equipped with a heat dissipation system to prevent the high temperature generated from being conducted to the control layer and battery layer, thus affecting their function and stability. The control layer is placed in the middle, and its upper and lower partitions are coated with electromagnetic shielding coatings to shield electromagnetic interference between the charger and the battery pack, ensuring the signal stability of the battery controller. The battery pack is heavy and is placed on the bottom layer to lower the center of gravity of the overall structure and improve stability. The partitions of each layer are connected by bolts and electrically connected by plug-in terminals, allowing maintenance or replacement of a single functional layer. For example, when the charger fails, only the charging layer components need to be disassembled, without disassembling the entire system, thus improving maintenance efficiency.
[0010] Based on this, the charger is fixedly installed on the top cover, and a charger protective cover is also fixedly connected to the top cover. The charger protective cover is L-shaped and the horizontal plate completely covers the top of the charger. The horizontal plate of the charger protective cover integrates multiple cooling fans, and the cooling fans are located above the charger.
[0011] The charger protective cover has an air inlet on one side of the stand, and a battery box air inlet is located on the other side of the charger, corresponding to the side wall of the battery box.
[0012] In this technical solution, external cold air enters from both the air inlet of the protective cover and the air inlet of the battery box, flows laterally along the surface of the charger and absorbs heat, and is finally forced to be exhausted upward by the cooling fan. The horizontal airflow maximizes the contact heat dissipation area, and combined with the top active exhaust to accelerate heat exchange, it effectively prevents local high temperature of the charger and avoids heat diffusion to the lower layers, thus improving heat dissipation efficiency.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. In this power battery's built-in charging system, the charger is integrated into the battery box. The battery box employs a layered design, with the charging layer, control layer, and battery layer physically separated by partitions. This compact and orderly layout improves the overall integration of the charging system, reduces the number of external components and connection complexity, and lowers the risk of system failure. Simultaneously, the compact structure saves space, facilitating installation and placement in different equipment or vehicles, thus improving space utilization.
[0015] 2. The built-in charging system of this power battery incorporates multiple cooling fans integrated into the charger's protective cover, working in conjunction with the air inlets of the protective cover and the battery box. Combined with the charger's own integrated cooling fan and fins, this allows the heat generated during charger operation to be quickly dissipated, preventing performance degradation and malfunctions caused by heat buildup. This excellent heat dissipation helps maintain the charger and battery within a suitable operating temperature range, improving the stability and reliability of the entire charging system, thereby ensuring the charging efficiency and lifespan of the power battery.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-2 As shown, the purpose of this embodiment is to provide a built-in charging system for power batteries, including a battery box 7. The battery box 7 has a rectangular parallelepiped structure, and its interior is divided into three independent cavities from top to bottom by horizontal partitions: a charging layer at the top, a control layer in the middle, and a battery layer at the bottom. The layers are physically isolated by metal partitions. The upper and lower partitions of the control layer are coated with an electromagnetic shielding coating to ensure electromagnetic interference shielding and heat zone management.
[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, the charging layer is located on the top layer of the battery box 7, and its main body is the charger 4. The charger 4 is fixed to the top surface of the cover 11 with bolts and is arranged horizontally. The charger 4 is covered by an L-shaped charger protective cover 1. The horizontal plate of the charger protective cover 1 completely covers the top area of the charger 4, and the bottom of the vertical plate is fixed to the cover 11 with bolts. The two sides of the horizontal plate are also fixed to the battery box 7 with bolts. The charger protective cover 1 is made of aluminum alloy, which provides mechanical protection and heat dissipation. The charger 4 has an AC input port 10 on the left side for connecting to the external power grid, and a DC output port 9 on the right side. The DC output port 9 is directly connected to the battery pack charging port 8 fixed to the surface of the cover 11 through a cable, thus forming an electrical path with the lower battery pack 6.
[0027] like Figure 2As shown, the control layer is located directly below the charging layer, and a battery controller 5 is installed inside. The battery controller 5 is fixed to the center of the control layer partition by a bracket. It integrates various electronic components to support its functions, and establishes electrical connections with the upper charger 4 and the lower battery pack 6 through vertical wiring channels, realizing functions such as charging power regulation, battery status monitoring, and system fault diagnosis. The control layer partition adopts a double-layer metal shielding structure to effectively block electromagnetic interference generated by the upper charger 4 during operation. Figure 2 As shown, the battery layer occupies the lower half of the battery box 7 and contains a battery pack 6. The battery pack 6 adopts a modular design and is composed of multiple battery cell units connected in series and fixed in a dedicated frame. The positive and negative terminals of the battery pack 6 are electrically connected to the battery pack charging port 8 through plug-in terminals and wire harnesses.
[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, two sets of cooling fans 3 are embedded in the horizontal surface of the charger protective cover 1, with the axis of the cooling fans 3 facing the heat-generating components inside the charger 4. An LCD screen 2 is integrated at the front end of the horizontal plate. The screen 2 is connected to the battery controller 5 via a flexible circuit board, displaying information such as charging voltage, current, and remaining battery capacity in real time. A strip-shaped air inlet 12 is opened in the middle of the vertical plate of the charger protective cover 1, and a corresponding air inlet 13 is opened on the side wall of the battery compartment 7 on the right side of the charger 4, forming a bidirectional air intake channel. The charger 4 integrates a heat dissipation fin array and an axial flow fan. The heat dissipation fin array is arranged horizontally at 90° to the air inlet 12 of the protective cover and the air inlet 13 of the battery compartment, allowing the longitudinal airflow entering from the air inlet 12 of the protective cover and the air inlet 13 of the battery compartment to penetrate the gaps between the heat dissipation fins, creating a turbulence effect on the fin surface and improving heat exchange efficiency.
[0029] Working principle: such as Figure 4 As shown, during system operation, external cold air enters the charging layer through the air inlet 12 of the protective cover and the air inlet 13 of the battery box. Combined with the built-in cooling fan of the charger 4 and the heat dissipation fins next to the fan, the heat dissipation contact area is increased. The airflow flows laterally along the surface of the charger 4, carrying away heat, and is then forcibly exhausted by the top cooling fan 3. The charger 4 converts the AC power from the grid to DC power and charges the battery pack 6 through the DC output port 9. The battery controller 5 collects battery voltage and temperature parameters in real time, adjusting the charging power and controlling the speed of the cooling fan 3 accordingly. When an abnormal temperature rise or insulation fault is detected, the battery controller 5 immediately cuts off the charging circuit and triggers an audible and visual alarm.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments.
