Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lithium battery technology, and in particular to a waterproof structure for a lithium battery pack. Background Technology

[0002] A lithium battery pack is a modular energy storage unit formed by combining multiple individual battery cells in series and parallel, integrating a battery management system, thermal management components, and structural protection components. It is widely used in consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and energy storage systems.

[0003] Patent specification CN221747385U discloses a waterproof structure for a lithium battery pack, including a lithium battery body, a waterproof structure body on the outer surface of the lithium battery body, two first sealing rings symmetrically fixed to the sidewalls of the waterproof structure body, and a connecting wire connected to one end of the lithium battery body through the waterproof structure body. In this solution, the waterproof structure utilizes stabilizing components. During assembly of the waterproof structure body and the lithium battery body, the two sides of the lithium battery body are first placed in the middle of two sets of stabilizing components. Then, the first and second waterproof shells are snapped together. Next, the hydraulic lifting rod inside the stabilizing components is activated, causing it to move the second mounting plate and stabilizing pad until the surface of the stabilizing pad is in contact with the surface of the lithium battery body. This secures the lithium battery body inside the waterproof structure body, thus preventing collisions between the lithium battery body and the waterproof structure body.

[0004] However, in implementing the relevant technology, the above-mentioned waterproof structure for lithium battery packs has the following problems: the scheme of using a hydraulic lifting rod to drive the stabilizing pad has the risk of leakage, and long-term use may lead to seal failure or insufficient power, affecting the fixing effect on the lithium battery body. The maintenance cost of hydraulic components is high, and their performance is prone to degradation under extreme temperature or vibration environments. In view of this, a waterproof structure for lithium battery packs is provided to overcome the above defects. Utility Model Content
