[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the specific technical solutions of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this application. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this application, but are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0031] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more.

[0032] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are defined relative to the positions in which the components are schematically placed in the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these directional terms are relative concepts, used for relative description and clarification, and can change accordingly depending on the position of the components in the accompanying drawings.

[0033] In the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.

[0034] In embodiments of this application, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element.

[0035] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate that something is an example, illustration, or description. Any embodiment or design that is described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design. Specifically, the use of the terms "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0036] This application provides a vehicle. It should be noted that the vehicle in this application can refer to a large vehicle, a small vehicle, a special-purpose vehicle, etc. For example, according to vehicle type, the vehicle in this application can be a sedan, an off-road vehicle, a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), or other types of vehicles. Generally, vehicles are equipped with batteries.

[0037] It should be noted that the type of power source for the vehicle is not limited in this embodiment. For example, when the vehicle is a gasoline vehicle, the battery is mainly used to provide power to the starter motor, thereby starting the internal combustion engine; in addition, the battery also provides power to the vehicle's lighting system, audio system, ignition system, etc.; when the vehicle is a hybrid or electric vehicle, the battery can serve as the vehicle's power source to enable the vehicle to move.

[0038] The mounting structure 10 provided in this embodiment is used to fix the battery 20.

[0039] For example, in some electric vehicles, the battery 20 is located at the bottom of the vehicle, and at least a portion of the mounting structure 10 is welded to the vehicle's floor.

[0040] Based on this, refer to Figure 1 This application embodiment also provides an installation structure 10, including a limiting base plate 1, multiple limiting plates 2, and limiting components.

[0041] Specifically, multiple limiting plates 2 are all located in the thickness direction of the limiting base plate 1 (e.g., ...). Figure 1 The battery 20 is installed on the end face of the third-party (as shown) and spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the limiting base plate 1. The limiting plate 2 and the limiting base plate 1 together define the installation space 12. The battery 20 is installed in the installation space 12. The limiting plate 2 and the limiting base plate 1 together limit the battery 20 to prevent the battery 20 from shifting when encountering bumps or other problems during vehicle use, so as to avoid affecting the safety of vehicle use.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 At least one of the limiting plate 2 and the limiting base plate 1 is provided with an oblong hole 11, which extends from the center to the edge of the limiting base plate 1. The limiting member is detachably inserted into the oblong hole 11 to fix the limiting plate 2 to the limiting base plate 1. When the size of the battery 20 does not match the installation space 12, the size of the installation space 12 can be changed by moving the position of the limiting member in the oblong hole 11. The battery 20 can then enter the installation space 12 more smoothly, reducing the precision requirements of the battery 20, avoiding rework of the installation structure 10, and reducing the manufacturing cost of the installation structure 10.

[0043] In addition, during the use of battery 20, the limiting plate 2 can be appropriately loosened when battery 20 expands, so as to prevent the limiting plate 2 from breaking battery 20 and to avoid affecting the safety of battery 20.

[0044] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the limiting component is not limited, as long as it can connect the limiting plate 2 to the limiting base plate 1. The limiting component can be a fastening bolt, which passes through the limiting plate 2 and the limiting base plate 1. The limiting base plate 1 and the limiting plate 2 are detachable, and the connection is relatively simple and reliable.

[0045] In addition, in this embodiment, both the limiting base plate 1 and the limiting plate 2 are manufactured by sheet metal molds. By setting the waist-shaped hole 11, it is not necessary to process the sheet metal mold surface or hole in the later stage when the precision of the battery 20 is insufficient. This facilitates the adjustment of the tightness of the battery 20 installation and reduces the waste of money and time caused by each processing change of the mold.

[0046] According to the installation structure 10 of this application embodiment, by providing an oblong hole 11 extending from the center to the edge of the limiting base plate 1 on at least one of the limiting plate 2 and the limiting base plate 1, when the size of the battery 20 is not compatible with the installation space 12, the size of the installation space 12 can be changed by moving the position of the limiting member in the oblong hole 11. The battery 20 can enter the installation space 12 more smoothly, reducing the precision requirements of the battery 20, avoiding the need for rework of the installation structure 10, and reducing the manufacturing cost of the installation structure 10.

[0047] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The limiting plate 2 includes a plurality of first limiting sub-plates 21, which are disposed on the end face of the limiting base plate 1 in the thickness direction and respectively disposed on the limiting base plate 1 along the first direction (e.g., Figure 2 The first limiting plate 21 can limit the battery 20 in the first direction, preventing the battery 20 from coming out of the mounting space 12 in the first direction.

[0048] At this time, the waist-shaped hole 11 corresponding to the first limiting sub-plate 21 is set to extend along the first direction, which can be the width direction or the length direction of the limiting base plate 1.

[0049] In addition, multiple first limiting sub-plates 21 can be provided at the same end of the limiting base plate 1 along the first direction, which can limit the battery 20 at multiple points and increase the limiting reliability of the first limiting sub-plates 21 on the battery 20.

[0050] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The limiting plate 2 also includes a second limiting sub-plate 22, which is disposed on the end face of the limiting base plate 1 in the thickness direction and along the second direction (e.g., the limiting base plate 1). Figure 2 The second limiting plate 22 can limit the battery 20 at one end in the second direction, preventing the battery 20 from coming out of the mounting space 12 in the second direction.

[0051] At this time, the waist-shaped hole 11 corresponding to the second limiting sub-plate 22 is set to extend along the second direction. When the first direction is the width direction of the limiting base plate 1, the second direction is the length direction of the limiting base plate 1. When the first direction is the length direction of the limiting base plate 1, the second direction is the width direction of the limiting base plate 1.

[0052] In addition, multiple second limiting sub-plates 22 can be provided at the same end of the limiting base plate 1 along the second direction, which can limit the battery 20 at multiple points and increase the limiting reliability of the second limiting sub-plates 22 on the battery 20.

[0053] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The mounting structure 10 also includes a pressure plate 3, which is positioned opposite to the second limiting sub-plate 22 along the second direction. The pressure plate 3 can limit the battery 20 at the other end of the second direction, preventing the battery 20 from coming out of the mounting space 12 in the second direction.

[0054] In addition, multiple pressure plates 3 can be provided at the same end of the limiting base plate 1 along the second direction, which can limit the battery 20 at multiple points and increase the reliability of the pressure plate 3 in limiting the battery 20.

[0055] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The battery 20 has a limiting protrusion 201 at one end near the limiting base plate 1, and a pressing member 31 at one end of the pressure plate 3 away from the limiting base plate 1. The pressing member 31 abuts against the end of the limiting protrusion 201 away from the limiting base plate 1. The pressing member 31 can limit the battery 20 together with the limiting base plate 1 in the thickness direction of the limiting base plate 1, thereby increasing the stability of the battery 20.

[0056] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 1 The limiting plate 2 includes a first sub-plate 211 and a second sub-plate 212. The first sub-plate 211 is used to connect with the limiting base plate 1, and the second sub-plate 212 is connected to the first sub-plate 211 and extends along the thickness direction of the limiting base plate 1. The end face of the second sub-plate 212 near the mounting space 12 abuts against the battery 20. The second sub-plate 212 is used to limit the battery 20, and the first sub-plate 211 is used to connect with the limiting base plate 1. The structure of the limiting plate 2 is relatively simple.

[0057] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 1 The second subplate 212 is provided with a pressing part 2121. The pressing part 2121 abuts against the end of the limiting protrusion 201 that is away from the limiting base plate 1. The pressing part 2121 can limit the battery 20 together with the limiting base plate 1 in the thickness direction of the limiting base plate 1, thereby increasing the stability of the battery 20.

[0058] In some embodiments of this application, the pressure plate 3 is detachably connected to the limiting base plate 1. Optionally, refer to... Figure 1 The pressure plate 3 and the limiting base plate 1 are connected by fastening bolts, or by positioning pins. The connection between the pressure plate 3 and the limiting base plate 1 is relatively simple and reliable, and at the same time, it is convenient to disassemble the battery 20 and the installation structure 10, and convenient to inspect the battery 20.

[0059] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 1The limiting base plate 1 is provided with a recessed part 13, which is recessed in the direction away from the installation space 12. Welding points are set when the limiting base plate 1 is welded to other parts of the vehicle to realize the welding connection between the limiting base plate 1 and other parts of the vehicle.

[0060] According to the battery assembly 100 of the embodiments of this application, refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 3 The installation includes the battery 20 and the aforementioned mounting structure 10. The limiting plate 2 and the limiting base plate 1 together define the mounting space 12, and the battery 20 is located within the mounting space 12.

[0061] According to the battery assembly 100 of the present application embodiment, by providing an oblong hole 11 extending in the direction from the center to the edge of the limiting base plate 1 on at least one of the limiting plate 2 and the limiting base plate 1, when the size of the battery 20 is not compatible with the installation space 12, the size of the installation space 12 can be changed by moving the position of the limiting member in the oblong hole 11. The battery 20 can enter the installation space 12 more smoothly, reducing the precision requirements of the battery 20, avoiding the need for rework of the installation structure 10, and reducing the manufacturing cost of the installation structure 10.
