Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of new energy vehicle battery casing technology, and in particular to a stamped steel battery lower casing with integrated liquid cooling plate. Background Technology

[0002] The safety and heat dissipation performance of power batteries in new energy vehicles are crucial. Currently, the lower casing of power batteries is mostly made of aluminum alloy, manufactured through extrusion molding and welding processes. Existing aluminum alloy casings have the following drawbacks: First, aluminum alloy casings are weaker than steel in terms of impact resistance and deformation performance. To improve their performance, additional reinforcing components or increased frame wall thickness are required, which increases their weight and manufacturing costs. Second, current aluminum alloy casings mostly rely on welded connections. Welding quality issues or long-term use can easily lead to weld failure due to vibration, affecting sealing performance. Third, when installing liquid cooling plates to increase heat dissipation performance, multiple liquid cooling plate fixing components need to be welded. Therefore, to solve the above problems, there is an urgent need for a high-strength, lightweight, and low-cost integrated battery lower casing solution that can effectively integrate with the liquid cooling plate while ensuring strength, thereby improving the overall performance of the battery system. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated cold-plate stamped steel battery lower casing that, while ensuring strength, achieves effective integration with the liquid cooling plate and improves the overall performance of the battery system.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: An integrated cold-plate stamped steel battery lower casing includes a stamped tray, a roll-formed reinforcing beam, a cold-plate support, a cold plate, an internal crossbeam, and an L-shaped bracket. The stamped tray is made of high-strength steel plate and stamped into a basin-shaped main structure. A protrusion is provided at the bottom of the stamped tray, and a receiving cavity is formed between two adjacent protrusions. The cold plate is embedded in the receiving cavity. The cold plate, the cold plate support, and the stamped tray are glued together. The roll-formed reinforcing beam is symmetrically arranged on the left and right outer sides of the stamped tray and is connected to the side wall of the stamped tray by spot welding. The internal crossbeam is located inside the stamped tray casing, spanning the left and right sides, and its two ends are spot welded to the side wall of the stamped tray by L-shaped brackets. The L-shaped brackets are connected to the internal crossbeam by pop rivets. A liquid collection pipe is provided on one side of the cold plate, and a water inlet and a water outlet are provided on the liquid collection pipe.

[0005] The aforementioned integrated cold-plate stamped steel battery lower casing has spot-welded connections at both ends of the internal crossbeam, where the internal crossbeam is spot-welded to the bottom of the stamping tray.

[0006] The aforementioned integrated cold-pressed steel battery lower casing has a roll-formed reinforcing beam filled with lightweight foam material to achieve vibration reduction and noise reduction.

[0007] For the above integrated cold plate stamping steel battery lower housing, the material of the cold plate support is foam or cotton material.

[0008] The utility model has the following advantages: In the utility model, compared with the extruded aluminum alloy battery lower housing, the steel stamping tray has a simple process and lower material cost. The one-piece stamping housing reduces the assembly steps and the welding seams, improving the sealing performance. At the same time, the liquid cooling plate is embedded in the accommodation cavity on the stamping tray, which can improve the heat dissipation performance of the battery, enhance the assembly efficiency, and reduce the production cost.
