That is, A and B being connected or A and B being connected can mean that there are fastened components (such as screws, bolts, rivets, etc.) between A and B, or that A and B are in contact with each other and A and B are difficult to separate.

[0045] Unless otherwise defined, all technical terms used in the embodiments of this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art.

[0046] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0047] On the one hand, combined with Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a device support 100, which is used to support the main control device 200 on the mounting plane 300.

[0048] The device support 100 includes a support body 1 and a support assembly 2. The support body 1 is inclined at a target angle relative to the mounting plane 300. The support assembly 2 includes a support block 21, which is located between the support body 1 and the mounting plane 300 and is used to support the support body 1 at the target angle. The support body 1 is used for the main control device 200.

[0049] In this embodiment, the device bracket 100 has a bracket body 1 that is tilted at a target angle on the mounting plane 300 by a support block 21. This allows for tilted support and mounting of the main control device. The support block 21 occupies a small area on the mounting plane 300, allowing for flexible selection of the connection position with the mounting plane 300. Furthermore, the support block 21 has better flexibility. By selecting support blocks 21 of different heights, different angles of support can be achieved for the bracket body 1. It has good versatility and flexibility, and its simple structure and convenient installation improve the ease of device maintenance.

[0050] The device bracket 100 of this embodiment can support the main control device 200 of the battery system at an angle within the battery system, which helps to reduce the difficulty of connecting the wiring harness of the main control device 200 and thus improve the assembly efficiency of the battery system.

[0051] In some possible implementations, the mounting plane 300 can be the base plate of the battery system housing.

[0052] In some possible implementations, the number of support blocks 21 can be one, two, three, etc.

[0053] For example, there is one support block 21, which is located between the bracket body 1 and the mounting plane 300. The tilt angle between the bracket body 1 and the mounting plane 300 can be adjusted by adjusting the height and position of the support block 21.

[0054] In another example, there are multiple support blocks 21, some of which have a larger height and others have a smaller height. The two types of support blocks 21 are arranged one after the other. After the bracket body 1 is connected to the two types of support blocks 21 respectively, the bracket body 1 can be arranged at a target angle and tilted to the mounting plane 300.

[0055] Optionally, there are three support blocks 21, one of which is taller and the other two are shorter. The taller support block 21 is at the rear and the shorter support block 21 is at the front, so that the support body 1 can present a target angle of lower front and higher rear.

[0056] Among some possible implementations, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support body 1 is provided with at least one weight-reducing hole 16, which can reduce the weight of the support body 1.

[0057] Combination Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the bracket body 1 is provided with a first mounting plate 11 at the edge away from the mounting plane 300. The first mounting plate 11 includes a first parallel connecting part 111, which is arranged parallel to the mounting plane 300.

[0058] The support block 21 includes a first support block 211, the top end of the first support block 211 is connected to the first parallel connecting part 111, and the bottom end of the first support block 211 is connected to the mounting plane 300.

[0059] With the above arrangement, the bracket body 1 has a first mounting plate 11 at the edge furthest from the mounting plane 300. The first mounting plate 11 can be connected to the first support block 211 by its first parallel connecting part 111. The first parallel connecting part 111 can be reliably connected to the first support block 211 in parallel. The structure is simple and easy to install and disassemble.

[0060] In some possible implementations, the first support block 211 is fixedly connected to the mounting plane 300, and the connection method includes, but is not limited to, welding, bonding, riveting, etc.

[0061] In some other possible implementations, the first support block 211 and the first parallel connecting part 111 are detachably connected, and the connection method includes, but is not limited to, fastener connection, snap-fit, plug-in connection, etc.

[0062] Combination Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the first mounting plate 11 further includes a first vertical connecting portion 112, which is arranged perpendicularly to the mounting plane 300.

The first parallel connecting part 111 is located on the side of the first vertical connecting part 112 that is away from the bracket body 1.

[0064] With the above arrangement, the first parallel connecting part 111 and the first vertical connecting part 112 are arranged in an L-shape. The first mounting plate 11 can use the first vertical connecting part 112 to increase its extension height perpendicular to the installation direction. The required support height of the edge of the bracket body 1 away from the mounting plane 300 can be distributed by the first vertical connecting part 112 and the first support block 211, without the need to configure a higher first support block 211 for it.

[0065] In addition, the first parallel connection part 111 is arranged on the side of the first vertical connection part 112 facing away from the bracket body 1. That is, the first parallel connection part 111 is located outside the range of the orthographic projection of the bracket body 1 on the mounting plane 300. The first parallel connection part 111 and the first support block 211 can be easily connected and disassembled at the top of the bracket body 1.

[0066] Combination Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the support assembly 2 further includes a first mounting bolt 22, which is arranged perpendicularly to the mounting plane 300 and connects the first parallel connecting part 111 and the first support block 211 respectively.

[0071] Combination Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the step structure 13 includes a second parallel connecting portion 131 and a second vertical connecting portion 132. The second parallel connecting portion 131 is arranged parallel to the mounting plane 300, and the second vertical connecting portion 132 is arranged perpendicular to the mounting plane 300.

[0072] At least two support panels 12 are connected to the edge of the second parallel connection portion 131 facing away from the second vertical connection portion 132. At least two support panels 12 are connected to the top edge of the second vertical connection portion 132, with the support panel 12 farther away from the mounting plane 300 being connected to the top edge of the second vertical connection portion 132.

[0074] The first parallel connecting part 111 is parallel to the mounting plane 300, and the second parallel connecting part 131 is used to connect with the mounting plane 300.

[0075] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the two ends of the second parallel connection portion 131 extend to the outer side of the bracket body 1 in a direction parallel to the mounting plane 300.

[0076] The support block 21 includes two second support blocks 212, which are located between the two ends of the second parallel connection part 131 and the mounting plane 300, respectively.

[0077] With the above arrangement, both ends of the second parallel connection part 131 extend to the outside of the bracket body 1. Two second support blocks 212 are arranged at the bottom of the second parallel connection part 131. The two second support blocks 212 are located on the outside of the bracket body 1, so that the second parallel connection part 131 and the second support blocks 212 can be easily connected and disassembled at the top of the bracket body 1.

[0078] Combination Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the support assembly 2 further includes a second mounting bolt 23, which is arranged perpendicularly to the mounting plane 300 and is respectively connected to the second parallel connecting part 131 and the second support block 212.

[0079] With the above arrangement, the second parallel connecting part 131 and the second support block 212 can be detachably connected by the second mounting bolt 23, which has high connection reliability and is easy to disassemble.

[0080] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, when the support block 21 includes a first support block 211 and a second support block 212, at least one of the first support block 211 and the second support block 212 includes a top plate portion 2111, two side plate portions 2112 and two bottom plate portions 2113, respectively.
