[0030] Reference Figure 1A housing assembly includes: an outer shell 100, an inner frame 300, a first mounting structure 710, a baffle 500, and a second mounting structure 720; the inner frame 300 is provided with an opening 390 for a power supply core to pass through and enter or exit the inner frame 300; the first mounting structure 710 is disposed between the inner frame 300 and the outer shell 100, and is used to connect and fix the outer shell 100 and the inner frame 300 relative to each other; the baffle 500 is capable of closing at least a portion of the opening 390; one of the outer shell 100 and the inner frame 300 is connected to the baffle 500 through the second mounting structure 720, and the baffle 500 is capable of being fixed at at least two different positions within the outer shell 100 through the second mounting structure 720 while maintaining the closure of the opening 390; the baffle 500 can expand or shrink the volume of the inner frame 300 when its mounting position is changed. The open design of the inner frame 300 at 390° allows for easy entry and exit of battery cells, greatly improving the convenience of cell replacement. The baffle 500 is fixed to multiple positions within the housing 100 via the second mounting structure 720, allowing its installation position to be adjusted according to the cell size, thereby changing the volume of the inner frame 300 and achieving precise fixation of cells of different sizes. The ability to change the position of the baffle 500 not only improves the versatility and flexibility of the housing assembly but also reduces design and manufacturing costs associated with changes in cell size, simplifies the cell replacement process, improves operational efficiency, and enhances the practicality of the equipment. Furthermore, by adjusting the position of the baffle 500, the space utilization within the inner frame 300 can be optimized, ensuring stable placement of the battery cells within the inner frame 300, reducing the risk of damage caused by cell movement, and further improving the reliability and safety of the equipment. This flexible and adaptable design allows the housing assembly to be widely used in various industrial power supply equipment, meeting the diverse needs of different customers for cell sizes.

[0031] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 2 The first mounting structure 710 includes a first flange 350 disposed at the edge of the inner frame 300, which fits against the inner wall of the outer casing 100. The close fit between the first flange 350 and the inner wall of the outer casing 100 not only enhances the connection stability between the inner frame 300 and the outer casing 100, but also reduces the gap between them through a tight fit, improving overall sealing and structural strength. This design ensures the stability of the casing assembly during use, reduces the risk of displacement of the inner frame 300 due to vibration or external forces, and extends the service life of the equipment. Simultaneously, the design of the first flange 350 provides a reliable mechanical connection basis, facilitating further fixing of the inner frame 300 and the outer casing 100 with fasteners, further enhancing the reliability of the connection.

[0032] It is foreseeable that a sealing gasket can be provided between the first folded edge 350 and the inner wall of the outer casing 100. This gasket can effectively reduce sealing problems caused by manufacturing or installation errors. Simultaneously, the gasket can also enhance waterproof and dustproof performance, extending the equipment's service life. The gasket can be made of high-temperature and corrosion-resistant materials to meet the operational needs of industrial power supplies in various harsh environments. Furthermore, the gasket can also form a buffer between the first folded edge 350 and the inner wall of the outer casing 100, thereby reducing the impact of vibration on the inner frame 300 and the battery cell, improving the equipment's shock resistance.

[0033] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 2 At least two adjacent sides of the inner frame 300 are provided with first flanges 350, and the inner frame 300 is positioned by abutting against at least two side walls of the outer shell 100 through the first flanges 350. The first flanges 350 on both sides further enhance the connection stability between the inner frame 300 and the outer shell 100. This multi-point positioning design not only improves the fixing accuracy of the inner frame 300 within the outer shell 100, but also ensures the stability of the inner frame 300 in multiple directions, reducing the risk of structural deformation that may be caused by single-point connections, and improving the overall performance and reliability of the shell assembly. Through multi-point positioning, the inner frame 300 experiences more uniform stress in different directions, further improving the stability of the equipment under complex working conditions. This design can effectively disperse stress when the equipment is subjected to multi-directional external forces or vibrations, reducing excessive local stress, thereby extending the service life of the equipment and reducing maintenance costs.

[0034] Furthermore, a reinforcing rib is provided between the first folded edge 350 and the inner frame 300 body, thereby improving the overall structural strength of the inner frame 300 and reducing deformation caused by the weight of the battery cell or external force.

[0035] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 2The first folded edge 350 is located at the rear and bottom of the inner frame 300. The rear of the inner frame 300 is connected to the inner wall of the outer casing 100 via the first folded edge 350. The inner wall of the outer casing 100 closes the rear of the inner frame 300, while the opening 390 is located at the front of the inner frame 300. This arrangement ensures a tight connection between the rear of the inner frame 300 and the inner wall of the outer casing 100, while simultaneously closing the rear of the inner frame 300 and opening 390 at the front. This design not only optimizes the connection structure between the inner frame 300 and the outer casing 100 but also provides convenient operating space for the insertion and removal of the battery cells, improving the ease of battery cell replacement. Furthermore, this layout ensures the stability of the rear and bottom structures of the inner frame 300, enhances the overall structural strength of the casing assembly, reduces the risk of deformation due to battery cell weight or external forces, and further improves the reliability and service life of the equipment. By placing the opening 390 at the front, operators can more easily install and remove the battery cells without disassembling other parts of the housing 100, greatly improving maintenance efficiency.

[0036] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 3 The first folded edge 350 is provided with a first connecting hole 310, which is used to install fasteners and to connect and fix the inner frame 300 to the outer shell 100 via fasteners. This design provides a reliable mechanical connection between the inner frame 300 and the outer shell 100, ensuring the connection strength and stability between them. The use of fasteners not only facilitates installation and disassembly but also allows for adjustment of the tightness of the connection according to actual needs, further improving the flexibility and reliability of the housing assembly. The fastener connection makes the connection between the inner frame 300 and the outer shell 100 more secure, reducing the risk of loosening due to vibration or external forces and ensuring the stability of the equipment during long-term use. Furthermore, this adjustable fastening method can accommodate outer shell 100 or inner frame 300 of different thicknesses, further improving the versatility and adaptability of the housing assembly.

[0037] Specifically, fasteners can be components such as screws, bolts, or rivets. The specific implementation method is not unique and can be adjusted according to the actual situation; no restrictions are imposed here.

[0038] In addition, anti-slip textures can be provided around the first connecting hole 310 to prevent the fastener from sliding during installation and improve installation efficiency.

[0039] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 5The second mounting structure 720 includes a second flange 550 disposed on the baffle 500, which fits against the side wall of the inner frame 300. The flush fit between the second flange 550 and the side wall of the inner frame 300 not only enhances the connection stability between the baffle 500 and the inner frame 300, but also reduces the gap between them through a tight fit, improving overall sealing and structural strength. This design ensures that the baffle 500 can stably close the opening 390 in different installation positions, enhancing the versatility and flexibility of the housing assembly. Simultaneously, the design of the second flange 550 provides a reliable mechanical connection basis for the baffle 500, facilitating further fixation of the baffle 500 with fasteners and further enhancing connection reliability. The tight fit structure also effectively prevents dust, liquids, and other foreign objects from entering the interior of the inner frame 300, improving the equipment's protective performance and extending its service life.

[0040] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 4 One of the inner frame 300 and the second folded edge 550 is provided with a strip hole 530, and the other of the inner frame 300 and the second folded edge 550 is provided with a second connecting hole 330. The second connecting hole 330 can be aligned with at least two different parts of the strip hole 530 and connected and fixed by fasteners. The strip hole 530 and the second connecting hole 330 are connected and fixed by fasteners. This design allows the baffle 500 to be installed in multiple positions on the inner frame 300. By aligning the strip hole 530 with the second connecting hole 330 at different positions, the position of the baffle 500 can be flexibly adjusted. This adjustable installation method not only improves the adaptability of the housing assembly, but also reduces the design and manufacturing costs caused by changes in cell size, and enhances the versatility and flexibility of the equipment. Through the cooperation of the strip hole 530 and the second connecting hole 330, the baffle 500 can be fixed in multiple positions on the inner frame 300, further optimizing the fixing effect of the battery cell and ensuring that the battery cell is stably placed in the inner frame 300, reducing the risk of damage caused by battery cell shaking. This design can also be customized according to the shape and size of the battery cell to meet the special needs of different customers.

[0041] Specifically, the strip hole 530 is disposed on the second folded edge 550, and the second connecting hole 330 is disposed on the inner wall of the inner frame 300. The width of the strip hole 530 is the same as the inner diameter of the second connecting hole 330. Of course, the strip hole 530 can also be disposed on the inner wall of the inner frame 300, and the second connecting hole 330 can be disposed on the baffle 500. The specific implementation is not unique, but can be adjusted according to the actual situation, and is not limited here.

[0042] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 6The baffle 500 has second flanges 550 on both sides, and the two second flanges 550 abut against the two opposite side walls of the inner frame 300, respectively. This symmetrical design further enhances the connection stability between the baffle 500 and the inner frame 300. The second flanges 550 on both sides not only provide more uniform support but also ensure that the baffle 500 stably closes the opening 390 in different installation positions, improving the overall performance and reliability of the housing assembly. Through the second flanges 550 on both sides, the baffle 500 experiences more uniform stress within the inner frame 300, reducing the risk of deformation due to unilateral stress and further improving the stability and service life of the equipment. This symmetrical design also effectively disperses the stress experienced by the baffle 500 during use, reducing localized wear and extending the service life of the baffle 500.

[0043] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 1 The bottom of the housing 100 is equipped with casters 130 and supports 170, which work together to support the housing 100. The casters 130 and supports 170 not only improve the mobility of the housing assembly but also provide stable support through the supports 170. The use of casters 130 makes it easier to move the housing assembly when needed, reducing the labor intensity of manual handling, while the supports 170 ensure the stability of the housing 100 in a stationary state, enhancing the practicality and ease of operation of the equipment. Through the cooperation of casters 130 and supports 170, the housing assembly can be quickly moved and stably placed in different scenarios, further improving the adaptability and flexibility of the equipment. For example, when the equipment needs maintenance or a change of installation position, the operator can first tilt and lift the housing 100 using the casters 130, and then use the casters 130 to move the housing 100, easily moving the equipment to the required position. Then, the supports 170 are used to secure it, ensuring the stability of the equipment during operation.

[0044] The second aspect of this utility model provides an embodiment of an industrial power supply, including the housing assembly described above. The open design 390 of the inner frame 300 allows for easy entry and exit of battery cells, greatly improving the convenience of battery cell replacement. The baffle 500 is fixed to multiple positions within the housing 100 via a second mounting structure 720, thus allowing its installation position to be adjusted according to the battery cell size, thereby changing the volume of the inner frame 300 and achieving precise fixing of battery cells of different sizes. Changing the position of the baffle 500 not only improves the versatility and flexibility of the housing assembly but also reduces design and manufacturing costs due to changes in battery cell size, simplifies the battery cell replacement process, improves operational efficiency, and enhances the practicality of the equipment. Furthermore, by adjusting the position of the baffle 500, the space utilization within the inner frame 300 can be optimized, ensuring stable placement of the battery cells within the inner frame 300, reducing the risk of damage caused by battery cell movement, and further improving the reliability and safety of the equipment.

[0045] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0046] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
