[0032] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, a battery module bracket is provided, including: a middle connecting kit 1, a side connecting kit 2, and a cover 3. Both the side connecting kit 2 and the middle connecting kit 1 have chambers for defining batteries inside, with the side connecting kit 2 disposed on both sides of the middle connecting kit 1; the cover 3 covers both ends of the middle connecting kit 1 at its center, and the ends of the cover 3 are detachably snapped onto the side connecting kit 2.

[0033] The battery module bracket provided by this utility model, through the cavities within the intermediate connecting kit 1 and the side connecting kit 2, can tightly fit the battery, providing stable and reliable fixed support for the battery, effectively limiting the shaking and displacement of the battery within the module, and ensuring the stability and safety of the electrical connection of the battery module. The modular structure of the intermediate connecting kit 1, the side connecting kit 2, and the cover 3, with the cover 3 and the side connecting kit 2 being detachably snapped together, not only allows for complete removal of the module and bracket when recycling battery cells, but also enables quick positioning and assembly along with the battery during battery module assembly, shortening assembly time and improving production efficiency.

[0034] For preferred options, please refer to [the provided text]. Figure 1 The intermediate connecting kit 1 has an end connecting kit 4 at its end. The end connecting kit 4 is ring-shaped, and its axis coincides with the axis of the intermediate connecting kit 1. Both ends of the end connecting kit 4 are connected to the side connecting kit 2. This creates a three-dimensional stable structure for the entire battery module bracket, enhancing the battery module's impact and vibration resistance, effectively preventing component displacement or damage due to external forces, and extending the battery module's service life.

[0035] Furthermore, the length of the side connecting kit 2 is greater than the length of the middle connecting kit 1. The end connecting kit 4, the middle connecting kit 1, and the side connecting kit 2 work together to ensure the stability of the battery module while creating a hollow center, minimizing the weight of the support structure. The increased length of the side connecting kit 2 means a larger heat dissipation area, which helps to accelerate the dissipation of heat inside the battery module. During battery charging and discharging, the generated heat can be promptly conducted to the outside, preventing overheating and performance degradation, ensuring stable operation of the battery module, and improving the overall performance and efficiency of the battery module.

[0036] Preferably, the surface of the side connection kit 2 is provided with heat dissipation vents 5. The heat dissipation vents 5 are designed to provide a direct channel for the heat generated by the battery, thereby enhancing the heat dissipation capacity of the battery module.

[0037] Preferably, the inner wall of the annular end connector 4 is provided with a fitting edge 6, which is used to fit against the edge of the battery. The fitting edge 6 on the inner wall of the end connector 4 can tightly fit against the edge of the battery, which not only further optimizes the positioning effect of the battery inside the battery module and prevents the battery from shifting or shaking within the cavity, but also ensures uniform spacing between the batteries, avoiding the risk of short circuits caused by mutual squeezing or collision of batteries, and significantly improving the stability and safety of the battery module operation. For additional beneficial effects, please refer to the excellent patent description.

[0038] For details, please refer to Figure 4 The intermediate connecting kit 1 includes an annular connecting edge 101 and an inner connecting edge 102. The inner connecting edge 102 is located inside the annular connecting edge 101. The annular connecting edge 101 and the inner connecting edge 102 define the chamber where the battery is placed. The annular connecting edge 101 and the inner connecting edge 102 define the chamber where the battery is placed, ensuring that the battery is accurately positioned and stably placed within the chamber, preventing the battery from shifting due to vibration or impact, avoiding short circuits or damage caused by collisions between batteries, and ensuring the safe operation of the battery module.

[0039] For details, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 A top cover 301 and a bottom cover 302 are respectively provided on the two ends of the intermediate connecting kit 1. The top surface of the top cover 301 is provided with a connecting block 7, and the bottom surface of the bottom cover 302 is provided with a connecting port 8 for connecting with the connecting block 7. The connecting block 7 of the top cover 301 and the connecting port 8 of the bottom cover 302 are mutually compatible. When multiple battery modules are stacked and installed, positioning and connection can be quickly achieved, which greatly simplifies the assembly process, effectively shortens the installation time, and improves the installation efficiency in large-scale applications.

The inner wall of the wrapping edges 13 is provided with clamping blocks 9, and the side of the side connecting kit 2 is provided with slots 10 for connecting with the clamping blocks 9. Through the cooperation of the clamping blocks 9 on the inner wall of the wrapping edges 13 and the slots 10 on the side of the side connecting kit 2, a tight connection between the cover 3 and the side connecting kit 2 is achieved, enhancing the overall structural stability of the battery module. This not only facilitates disassembly and installation but also effectively resists external forces such as vibration, impact, and compression during transportation and use, preventing component loosening and displacement, reducing the risk of battery damage due to structural instability, and ensuring the safe operation of the battery module.

[0041] For preferred options, please refer to [the provided text].
