[0035] The inventors noticed that as the application fields of power batteries continue to expand, the market demand for them is also continuously increasing. In the vehicle development process, battery placement is a difficult problem. Due to the large number of conventional automobile parts, there is no space to install batteries without significantly altering the vehicle body. After further research, the following was discovered: Conventional vehicles generally place batteries in the front cabin or trunk, and mount them via brackets to the vehicle's side members or spare tire pool. The cantilevered mode of the brackets is relatively weak, making them prone to noise generation. Furthermore, the batteries and multiple electronic modules of the power supply are generally placed separately, occupying a large amount of space, such as the electric drive or thermal management space in the front cabin, thus reducing space utilization.

[0036] In view of this, this application provides a technical solution in which a case is used to be attached to the body of a vehicle, the case comprises a case body, a first mounting member and a second mounting member, the case body has a housing cavity, the first mounting member is installed on the case body and used to fix a battery in the housing cavity, and the second mounting member is installed on the case body and used to fix a plurality of electronic modules in the housing cavity. In the above solution, the battery and the plurality of electronic modules can be fixed in the housing cavity of the case by the first mounting member and the second mounting member of the case, respectively, the case can then be fixed inside the vehicle and the battery and the plurality of electronic modules can be attached to the body of the vehicle as a single unit, thereby improving the space utilization rate of the vehicle, improving the battery mode and reducing vehicle noise.

[0037] Embodiments of this application provide a vehicle that uses a battery as a power source, referring to Figure 1, which is a schematic diagram of the structure of a vehicle 1000 according to some embodiment of this application. The vehicle 1000 may be a fuel oil vehicle, a gas vehicle, or a new energy vehicle, and the new energy vehicle may be a pure electric vehicle, a hybrid vehicle, or a range extender vehicle, etc. The battery 100 can be used to supply power to the vehicle 1000, for example the battery 100 can be used as the operating power source for the vehicle 1000. The vehicle 1000 may further include a controller 200 and a motor 300, the controller 200 used to control the battery 100 to supply power to the motor 300, for example, to meet the operating power consumption demands of the vehicle 1000 for starting, navigation and driving.

[0038] Referring together to Figures 2 and 3, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the mounting of a power supply device according to some embodiments of the present application, and Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a power supply device according to some embodiments of the present application, the embodiments of the present application provide a case 10 which is used to be mounted on the body 500 of a vehicle 1000, the case 10 includes a case body 11, a first mounting member 12 and a second mounting member 13, the case body 11 has a housing cavity 11a, the first mounting member 12 is installed on the case body 11 and is used to fix a battery 100 in the housing cavity 11a, and the second mounting member 13 is installed on the case body 11 and is used to fix a plurality of electronic modules 400 in the housing cavity 11a.

[0039] The electronic module 400 may be a DC-DC (direct current converter) power module, or it may be integrated with electronic components such as relays, sensors, resistors, and capacitors. Multiple electronic modules 400 together with the battery 100 constitute a power supply device and are used to supply power to the vehicle 1000. The case body 11 may include a top cover 111 and a bottom cover 112, the top cover 111 and the bottom cover 112 overlap each other, and the top cover 111 and the bottom cover 112 together define a housing cavity 11a. The bottom cover 112 may be a hollow structure with one end open, and the top cover 111 may be a plate-like structure. The top cover 111 is placed over the open side of the bottom cover 112, so that the top cover 111 and the bottom cover 112 together define a housing cavity 11a. Both the top cover 111 and the bottom cover 112 may be hollow structures with one side open, and the open side of the top cover 111 is placed over the open side of the bottom cover 112. Of course, the case body 11 may be of various shapes, such as a cylinder or a rectangular parallelepiped.

[0040] In the above solution, the battery 100 and the multiple electronic modules 400 can be fixed to the housing cavity 11a of the case 10 by the first mounting member 12 and the second mounting member 13 of the case 10, respectively. Then the case 10 is fixed inside the vehicle 1000, and the battery 100 and the multiple electronic modules 400 are attached as a single unit to the body 500 of the vehicle 1000, thereby improving the space utilization rate of the vehicle 1000.

[0045] In the above plan, the battery 100 and the multiple electronic modules 400 may be installed as a whole under the rear seats, avoiding the occupancy of the front cabin or trunk space of the vehicle 1000, thereby making full use of the space in the vehicle 1000 and improving the space utilization rate.

[0046] As shown in Figure 5, Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a case from a different angle according to some embodiments of the present application, in which a third mounting member 14 includes a connecting portion 141 and a protrusion 142 connected to each other, the connecting portion 141 being fixed to the top cover 111, and the protrusion 142 being raised and protruding away from the top cover 111 and used for fixing to the rear seat.

[0047] The connection between the connecting portion 141 and the top cover 111 may be made by welding, bolts, or the like. For example, the connecting portion 141 may be annular in shape and welded to the top cover 111. The connecting portion 141 may be provided circumferentially along the circumferential direction of the protrusion 142, or it may be installed along a part of the circumferential side of the protrusion 142. The protrusion 142 rises in the direction of the rear seat, facilitating a secure connection to the rear seat. Screw holes may be provided in the protrusion 142, and the protrusion 142 may be fixed to the rear seat by screws passing through these screw holes, or by a locking mechanism or the like.

[0048] In the above solution, the top cover 111, as a support for the rear seat, satisfies the need to prevent the seat from slipping under it, improves the functionality of the top cover 111, and saves space required for the seat support plate.

[0049] In some embodiments, the case 10 further includes a fourth mounting member 15 installed on the outer surface of the case body 11, the fourth mounting member 15 being used to fix the case body 11 to the floor of the vehicle body 500.

[0051] Selectively, the third mounting member 14 and the fourth mounting member 15 may be fixed to the vehicle body 500 along different directions. For example, the third mounting member 14 may be fixed to the rear seat along the vertical direction of the vehicle body 500, and the fourth mounting member 15 may be fixed to the floor along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body 500, further enhancing the stability of the case 10 and reducing vibrations of the case 10.

[0052] Referring in conjunction with Figures 5 and 6, Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a case from a different angle according to some embodiments of the present application, and Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a power supply device according to some embodiments of the present application. In some embodiments, the fourth mounting member 15 includes a first mounting portion 151 and a second mounting portion 152 installed on opposing sides of the case body 11, the first mounting portion 151 being used to fix the case body 11 to the front floor 510 of the vehicle body 500, and the second mounting portion 152 being used to fix the case body 11 to the rear floor 520 of the vehicle body 500.

Of course, the number and specific positions of the first mounting portions 151 and the second mounting portions 152 can be set as needed and will not be explained further here.

[0054] In the above-described solution, the first mounting portion 151 and the second mounting portion 152 fix the case 10 to the front floor 510 and the rear floor 520, respectively, preventing the case 10 from vibrating along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body 500, further improving the connection strength and stability of the case 10, and reducing noise from the vehicle 1000.

[0055] Referring in conjunction with Figures 7 and 8, Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a battery according to some embodiments of the present application, and Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a case from another angle according to some embodiments of the present application.
