The battery installation partition 3 is of a double-layer structure. The contact surfaces between the battery installation partition 3, the explosion-proof side plate 1, and the explosion-proof side plate 1 are welded. The explosion-proof cover plate 4 is bolt-mounted to the top battery installation partition 3. The volume of the power supply box can be continuously expanded on the top battery installation partition 3 as needed to increase the expansion amount of the battery.

[0023] The battery installation cavity is divided into upper and lower layers. The lithium battery pack 12 is composed of battery cores of 100 / 3.2V / 230ah, equipped with a 74kWh lithium iron phosphate battery system. The system voltage is 320V, and the energy density reaches 165Wh / kg, adapting to the power requirements of heavy-duty mining vehicles. The full-system cycle life > 4000 times, and the capacity retention rate ≥ 80%.

[0024] A second terminal 11 electrically connected to the charging assembly 6 and the output assembly 5 is penetrated and arranged in another side wall plate of the wiring cavity. The other end of the second terminal 11 extends into the control cavity. The charging assembly 6 consists of a charger and a charging socket. The output assembly 5 is used to output direct current.

[0025] A first terminal 7 electrically connected to the lithium battery pack 12 is disposed through the sandwich wall plate between the control cavity and the battery installation cavity. The input end of the first terminal 7 is electrically connected to a second terminal 11.

The inverter 14 is used to output a specified voltage, so that in addition to supplying power to the vehicle, the battery can also be provided to external devices within a wider output range, improving the outdoor property of the power supply.

[0027] The quick-change plug 1201 is of explosion-proof type. A locking member 1202 is detachably installed on the top of the lithium battery pack 12.

[0030] The electromagnetic lock 1503 is a common magnetic adsorption lock. Its principle is based on the electro-magnetic effect.
