Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric vehicle battery box technology, specifically to an integrated lock battery box for electric vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, traditional battery lock structures typically consist of two separate parts: a lock body and a battery compartment, which are connected and fixed together by fasteners such as screws. However, due to unavoidable factors such as product draft and tolerance gaps during the manufacturing process, tiny but sufficient gaps to allow moisture to penetrate are often left at the joint when the lock is assembled onto the battery compartment. The presence of these gaps greatly increases the risk of moisture entering the battery compartment, which may lead to battery short circuits or other electrical malfunctions.

[0003] To overcome these problems, existing solutions typically involve filling the gaps with waterproofing material to prevent water penetration. However, this method has several major drawbacks: First, manually filling the gaps with waterproofing material makes it difficult to ensure that each gap is evenly and adequately covered, leading to a potential risk of leakage. Second, in addition to purchasing additional waterproofing material, more labor costs are required for the filling work, thus increasing the overall production cost. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an integrated battery box for electric vehicles to solve the problems of gaps in existing battery lock structures that require filling with waterproof materials.

[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An integrated lock battery box for electric vehicles is provided, including a battery box with an integrated lock on the top left side. The integrated lock has openings at the bottom and front. The bottom opening is used to accommodate and install a lock tongue to realize the extension and retraction of the lock tongue. The front opening is used to install a lock cylinder, and the lock tongue is driven to extend and retract along its axial direction by the rotation of the lock cylinder to realize the opening or closing of the battery box. The battery box and the integrated lock are integrally formed.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of an integrated lock battery box for electric vehicles, the integrated lock has a fixing hole on its top, and a fixing screw is installed in the fixing hole.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of an integrated lock battery box for electric vehicles, the fixing screw is connected to the lock cylinder to secure the lock cylinder.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0010] 1. By integrating the lock case with the battery box, the water seepage problem caused by assembly gaps in traditional designs is eliminated, thereby significantly improving the waterproof performance of the product. Furthermore, no additional waterproof material is required, which reduces material costs and avoids the quality inconsistency problems that may result from manual filling.

[0011] 2. The simplified lock cylinder installation process allows the lock cylinder to be directly assembled onto the battery box, reducing complex assembly steps, improving production efficiency, and saving labor costs. Attached Figure Description
