[0061] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present application, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0062] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship, are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on this application.

[0063] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the technical features being referred to. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. Throughout the description of this application, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0064] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, terms such as "mounted," "connected," "connect," and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integration; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal connections between two components or interactions between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this application based on specific circumstances.

[0065] Currently, market developments indicate that power batteries are becoming increasingly widely used. They are not only used in energy storage systems such as hydropower, thermal, wind, and solar power plants, but are also widely used in electric vehicles like electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, and electric vehicles, as well as in military equipment and aerospace. As power battery applications continue to expand, market demand is also growing.

[0066] During use, the battery is generally assembled on the electrical equipment through the mounting beams on the box. Therefore, when the battery is in use, the battery module inside the battery will generate a force on the box, that is, the box needs to bear the gravity of the battery module, so that the box needs to withstand a large force during the connection and use process; therefore, the structural strength of the box is required to be high, so as to reduce the risk of deformation, breakage and other damage to the box when the battery is in use.

[0067] To meet the high structural strength requirements of the box, a module beam can be installed on the inside of the box's bottom plate, and the battery module can be assembled on the module beam. At the same time, a mounting beam is installed on the outside of the box's bottom plate to connect the box. The beam structure of the module beam and mounting beam strengthens the overall structural strength of the box, reducing the risk of deformation, fracture, and other damage to the box. However, in actual use, the module beam and mounting beam may fall off or break from the bottom plate, resulting in the box not being able to function properly, affecting the performance and life of the batteries.

[0068] Based on the above considerations, in order to solve the problem of high structural strength requirements for the box when the battery is connected and used, a box is designed. By respectively arranging module beams and mounting beams on the first side and the second side of the box bottom plate, and arranging a reinforcement structure on the bottom plate, the reinforcement structure is used to connect the mounting beam and / or module beam to improve the connection strength between the mounting beam and / or module beam and the bottom plate.

[0069] In such a box, since the mounting beam and / or module beam are strengthened by the reinforcement structure provided on the bottom plate, the connection strength between the mounting beam and / or module beam and the bottom plate is effectively improved. During the connection and use of the battery, the connection strength between the module beam and the bottom plate is improved, so the probability of risks such as falling off and breaking between the module beam and the bottom plate is low; similarly, the connection strength between the mounting beam and the bottom plate is also improved, so the probability of risks such as falling off and breaking between the mounting beam and the bottom plate is also low; therefore, the design of the bottom plate connecting the mounting beam and / or module beam by providing a reinforcement structure can improve the structural strength of the box, so as to improve the stability of the box during use.

[0070] The box disclosed in the embodiments of the present application can be used for electrical devices that use batteries as power sources or various energy storage systems that use batteries as energy storage elements. Electrical devices can include, but are not limited to, mobile phones, tablets, laptops, electric toys, power tools, battery-powered vehicles, electric cars, ships, spacecraft, and the like. Among them, electric toys can include fixed or mobile electric toys, such as game consoles, electric car toys, electric ship toys, and electric airplane toys, and the like, and spacecraft can include airplanes, rockets, space shuttles, and spacecraft, and the like.

The vehicle 1000 may also include a controller 200 and a motor 300. The controller 200 is used to control the battery 100 to power the motor 300, for example, for starting, navigating and driving the vehicle 1000.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present application, the battery 100 can serve not only as an operating power source for the vehicle 1000, but also as a driving power source for the vehicle 1000, replacing or partially replacing fuel or natural gas to provide driving power for the vehicle 1000.

[0074] Please refer to Figure 2, which is an exploded view of a battery 100 provided in some embodiments of the present application.

[0080] The module beam 120 is disposed on the first side surface 111 of the base plate 110 and is used to mount the battery module 20. The module beam 120 may be, but is not limited to, an aluminum beam, a steel beam, an alloy beam, or the like. The module beam 120 may be an extruded aluminum structure, a zigzag beam (i.e., the cross-section of the module beam 120 is rectangular, as shown in FIG4 , where the module beam 120 in FIG4 is a zigzag beam with a rectangular cross-section), a zigzag beam (i.e., the cross-section of the module beam 120 is approximately zigzag).

[0086] The first protrusion 1131 is connected to the module beam 120. Optionally, the first protrusion 1131 can be connected to the module beam 120 by bonding, welding, or screwing; or, the first protrusion 1131 can be inserted into the module beam 120 and then connected to the module beam 120 by bonding, welding, or screwing.

[0087] In this arrangement, by forming a first protrusion 1131 on the first side surface 111 of the bottom plate 110, and utilizing the first protrusion 1131 to connect the module beam 120, the connection strength between the module beam 120 and the bottom plate 110 is improved. When the box body 10 is connected for use, the risk of deformation or fracture between the bottom plate 110 and the module beam 120 can be effectively reduced, and thus the module beam 120 can withstand a battery module 20 of greater weight.

[0088] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to FIG. 4 , FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 , a first cavity 1132 is formed on a side of the first protrusion 1131 facing away from the module beam 120 .

[0089] It is understandable that the first protrusion 1131 can be a structure protruding from the first side surface 111 formed by the bottom plate 110 being recessed toward the first side surface 111 , so that the first cavity 1132 is formed on the side of the first protrusion 1131 away from the module beam 120 .

[0090] With such arrangement, the processing step of the first protrusion 1131 of the bottom plate 110 can be carried out together with the processing step of manufacturing the bottom plate 110, thereby effectively reducing the manufacturing steps of the box body 10 and improving the manufacturing efficiency of the box body 10; at the same time, the first protrusion 1131 with the first cavity 1132 on the back is formed by the depression of the bottom plate 110 itself. Compared with the method of adding an external structure to set the first protrusion 1131, the weight of the box body 10 can be not increased, and further, when the box body 10 is mounted and assembled by the mounting beam 130, the force exerted by the weight of the box body 10 on the mounting beam 130 will not increase, thereby reducing the probability of damage to the mounting beam 130.

[0091] Optionally, a protrusion can be added to the mounting beam 130 so that when the mounting beam 130 is assembled to the second side surface 112, the protrusion can be inserted into the first cavity 1132. Thus, when the module beam 120 and the first protrusion 1131 are welded together, the protrusion can be welded to the module beam 120 and the first protrusion 1131 to form an integral body, thereby improving the connection strength between the module beam 120, the base plate 110, and the mounting beam 130. The protrusion can be added to the mounting beam 130 by welding an external block to the mounting beam 130 or by screwing the block to the mounting beam 130.

[0092] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to FIG. 2 , FIG. 4 and FIG. 7 , there are multiple first protrusions 1131 , and the multiple first protrusions 1131 are disposed on the first side surface 111 at intervals.

[0093] The first protrusions 1131 can be arranged at intervals along any direction on the first side surface 111. For example, in some specific embodiments, the plurality of first protrusions 1131 can be spaced apart along the length direction of the module beam 120. When the module beam 120 is arranged on the first side surface 111, the plurality of first protrusions 1131 can be distributed along the length direction of the module beam 120 and respectively connected to the module beam 120, thereby achieving a strengthened connection between the module beam 120 and the first side surface 111, and effectively improving the connection strength between the module beam 120 and the bottom plate 110.

[0094] In this configuration, by forming a plurality of first protrusions 1131 on the first side surface 111 of the base plate 110 and utilizing the plurality of first protrusions 1131 to connect the module beam 120, the number of connection points between the module beam 120 and the first side surface 111 of the base plate 110 can be increased, and the connection strength between the module beam 120 and the base plate 110 can be effectively improved, thereby effectively reducing the risk of deformation or fracture between the base plate 110 and the module beam 120.

[0095] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to FIG. 4 , FIG. 5 and FIG. 7 , an avoidance portion 121 is provided on the side wall of the module beam 120 facing the bottom plate 110 , and the first protrusion 1131 is configured to be inserted into the avoidance portion 121 .

[0096] Among them, the avoidance portion 121 can be a hole structure opened on the side wall of the module beam 120 facing the base plate 110, the first protrusion 1131 can be inserted into the hole structure, and the first protrusion 1131 can be connected to any side wall of the module beam 120, for example, it can be connected to the side wall of the module beam 120 facing the base plate 110, or it can be connected to the side wall of the module beam 120 facing away from the base plate 110.

[0097] Alternatively, the avoidance portion 121 can be a groove structure formed on the side wall of the module beam 120 facing the base plate 110, the first protrusion 1131 can be inserted into the groove structure and accommodated in the groove structure, and the first protrusion 1131 can be connected to the inner wall of the groove structure, for example, by fixed connection through welding, bonding, etc.

[0098] In this way, by opening an avoidance portion 121 on the corresponding beam side wall of the module beam 120, during assembly, the module beam 120 is set at the corresponding position of the first side surface 111 of the base plate 110, so that the first protrusion 1131 on the first side surface 111 can be inserted into the avoidance portion 121, and then the first protrusion 1131 and the module beam 120 are fixedly connected to improve the connection strength between the base plate 110 and the module beam 120; at the same time, the structure in which the first protrusion 1131 is inserted into the avoidance portion 121 can also enable the module beam 120 to be positioned and assembled on the first side surface 111, thereby improving the accuracy of the installation position of the module beam 120 to a certain extent.

[0099] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to FIG. 4 , FIG. 5 and FIG. 7 , the avoidance portion 121 is a through hole penetrating through the side wall of the module beam 120 toward the bottom plate 110 .

[0100] Among them, the through hole opened on the side wall of the module beam 120 facing the base plate 110 can have a hole diameter that is the same as the maximum outer diameter of the first protrusion 1131. During assembly, the first protrusion 1131 can be correspondingly clamped in the through hole to achieve positioning assembly; or, the through hole opened on the side wall of the module beam 120 can have a hole diameter larger than the maximum outer diameter of the first protrusion 1131. During assembly, it is only necessary to insert the first protrusion 1131 into the corresponding through hole.

[0101] In this way, the avoidance portion 121 is set as a through hole, and the module beam 120 can be set on the first side 111 during assembly, so that the first protrusion 1131 passes through the through hole and is inserted into the interior of the module beam 120, thereby realizing a fixed connection between the base plate 110 and the module beam 120 through the first protrusion 1131.

[0102] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to FIG. 3 to FIG. 5 and FIG. 7 , the first protrusion 1131 is connected to the sidewall of the module beam 120 that is away from the bottom plate 110 .

[0103] It can be understood that the first protrusion 1131 can be inserted into the interior of the module beam 120 through the avoidance portion 121, and the first protrusion 1131 can abut against the side wall of the module beam 120 facing away from the bottom plate 110 inside the module beam 120, so that the first protrusion 1131 and the side wall of the module beam 120 facing away from the bottom plate 110 are connected.

[0104] Optionally, the connection between the first protrusion 1131 and the side wall of the module beam 120 facing away from the bottom plate 110 can be, but is not limited to, welding, bonding, screwing, etc. For example, the first protrusion 1131 can be fixed to the side wall of the module beam 120 facing away from the bottom plate 110 by spot welding.

[0105] In this arrangement, the first protrusion 1131 can pass through the avoidance portion 121 opened on the module beam 120 and be connected to the beam side wall of the module beam 120 facing away from the bottom plate 110, so that the first protrusion 1131 can position the module beam 120 on the side of the beam side wall of the module beam 120 facing the bottom plate 110, and at the same time be fixedly connected to the module beam 120 on the side of the beam side wall of the module beam 120 facing away from the bottom plate 110.

[0106] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to FIG. 2 to FIG. 4 and FIG. 7 , the module beam 120 and the bottom plate 110 are welded to form a welding portion.

[0107] It can be understood that on the basis that the first side surface 111 of the base plate 110 is connected to the module beam 120 through the first protrusion 1131, the module beam 120 and the base plate 110 can also be welded, and the module beam 120 and the base plate 110 are welded to form a welding portion (not shown in the figure) to realize the connection between the module beam 120 and the base plate 110 to form an integral body.

[0108] Among them, the welding form between the module beam 120 and the base plate 110 can be welding, spot welding, etc.; for example, in some specific implementations, the module beam 120 and the base plate 110 can be welded by spot welding, and the use of spot welding can reduce the risk of the base plate 110 being burned through.

[0109] The specific location where the module beam 120 and the base plate 110 are welded to form the welding portion can be: the module beam 120 is attached to the beam side wall of the base plate 110, and welding is performed on the beam side wall where the module beam 120 is attached to the base plate 110, so that the welding portion is formed between the beam side wall of the module beam 120 and the base plate 110; or the module beam 120 intersects on the beam side wall of the base plate 110, that is, on the beam side wall intersecting with the beam side wall attached to the base plate 110, and welding is performed on the beam side wall where the module beam 120 intersects with the base plate 110 and close to the end of the base plate 110, so that the welding portion is formed between the beam side wall where the module beam 120 intersects with the base plate 110 and the base plate 110.

[0110] In this way, the module beam 120 and the base plate 110 are welded to form a welding portion, which can effectively improve the stability of the connection between the module beam 120 and the base plate 110. At the same time, the module beam 120 can also be connected to the base plate 110 through the first protrusion 1131. The multiple connection methods between the module beam 120 and the base plate 110 can effectively improve the connection strength between the module beam 120 and the base plate 110.

[0111] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to FIG. 3 , FIG. 4 and FIG. 7 , the mounting beam 130 and the bottom plate 110 are welded to form a welding portion.

[0112] It is understandable that the second side surface 112 of the bottom plate 110 can be welded to the mounting beam 130 , and the mounting beam 130 and the bottom plate 110 are welded to form a welded portion, so that the mounting beam 130 and the bottom plate 110 are connected to form an integral body.

[0113] Among them, the welding form between the mounting beam 130 and the base plate 110 can be welding, spot welding, etc.; for example, in some specific embodiments, the mounting beam 130 and the base plate 110 can be welded by spot welding, and the use of spot welding can reduce the risk of the base plate 110 being burned through.

[0114] The specific location where the mounting beam 130 and the base plate 110 are welded to form the welding portion can be: the mounting beam 130 is attached to the beam side wall of the base plate 110, and welding is performed on the beam side wall of the mounting beam 130 attached to the base plate 110, so that the welding portion is formed between the beam side wall of the mounting beam 130 attached to the base plate 110 and the base plate 110; or the mounting beam 130 intersects on the beam side wall of the base plate 110, that is, on the beam side wall intersecting with the beam side wall attached to the base plate 110, and welding is performed on the end of the mounting beam 130 intersecting with the beam side wall of the base plate 110 and close to the base plate 110, so that the welding portion is formed between the beam side wall of the mounting beam 130 intersecting with the base plate 110 and the base plate 110.

[0115] In this way, the mounting beam 130 and the base plate 110 are welded to form a welding portion, which can effectively improve the stability of the connection between the mounting beam 130 and the base plate 110. At the same time, the mounting beam 130 can also be connected to the base plate 110 through the second protrusion 1133. The multiple connection methods between the mounting beam 130 and the base plate 110 can effectively improve the connection strength between the mounting beam 130 and the base plate 110.

[0116] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to FIG. 2 to FIG. 4 and FIG. 7 , the module beam 120 and the bottom plate 110 are welded to form a welded portion, and the mounting beam 130 and the bottom plate 110 are also welded to form a welded portion.

[0117] It can be understood that the first side 111 of the base plate 110 can be welded to the module beam 120, and the second side 112 of the base plate 110 can be welded to the mounting beam 130, so that the module beam 120 and the mounting beam 130 respectively form welding parts with the first side 111 and the second side 112 of the base plate 110, so as to realize the connection between the module beam 120 and the mounting beam 130 and the base plate 110 to form a whole.

[0118] In this way, the module beam and the base plate 110 are welded to form a welding portion, and the mounting beam 130 and the base plate 110 are welded to form a welding portion. This enables the mounting beam 130, the base plate 110 and the module beam 120 to be welded into one piece, thereby effectively improving the stability of the connection between the mounting beam 130, the module beam 120 and the base plate 110.

[0119] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figures 2 to 4 and Figure 7, in the thickness direction H of the base plate 110, the projection of the mounting beam 130 and the projection of the module beam 120 at least partially overlap; the mounting beam 130, the module beam 120 and the base plate 110 are at least partially welded to form a welded portion.

[0120] It can be understood that the projection of the mounting beam 130 and the projection of the module beam 120 at least partially overlap, that is, in the thickness direction H of the base plate 110, the mounting beam 130, the base plate 110 and the module beam 120 have overlapping parts. Therefore, a welding part can be welded to form a welding part on the overlapping parts of the mounting beam 130, the base plate 110 and the module beam 120 to achieve a fixed connection among the mounting beam 130, the base plate 110 and the module beam 120.

[0121] With such an arrangement, the mounting beam 130 and the module beam 120 can have at least partial overlap in the thickness direction H of the base plate 110, so that the mounting beam 130, the module beam 120 and the base plate 110 can form a welding portion connecting the three by welding, so as to improve the connection strength between the mounting beam 130, the module beam 120 and the base plate 110; when the box body 10 is installed and used through the mounting beam 130, the mounting beam 130, the base plate 110 and the module beam 120 can form a connected whole, so that the overall structural strength of the box body 10 is effectively improved, thereby being able to meet the purpose of the overall high structural strength requirement of the box body 10.

[0122] According to some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figures 3, 4 and 7. A welding avoidance hole 122 is opened on the beam side wall of the module beam 120 facing away from the base plate 110, and the welding portion is formed on the beam side wall of the module beam 120 facing the base plate 110 and exposed in the welding avoidance hole 122.

[0123] It can be understood that the welding avoidance hole 122 is used to avoid welding operations; the welding avoidance hole 122 can be a through hole that passes through the beam side wall of the module beam 120 facing away from the base plate 110, so that the welding device (such as a welding head) can pass through the welding avoidance hole 122 and perform a welding operation on the beam side wall of the module beam 120 that is attached to the side of the base plate 110, so that the module beam 120 and the base plate 110 are welded to form a welding portion, or the base plate 110 and the mounting beam 130 can be welded to the beam side wall that is attached to the side of the base plate 110, so that the mounting beam 130 and the base plate 110 are welded to form a welding portion.

[0124] Optionally, the number of the welding avoidance holes 122 may be one or more; the specific number of the welding avoidance holes 122 may be determined according to the number of welded portions to be formed, wherein a welding operation performed through one welding avoidance hole 122 may form one welded portion.

[0125] With such a configuration, the welding avoidance hole 122 can be used to avoid welding operations during assembly, so that the welding device (such as a welding head) can pass through the welding avoidance hole 122 to perform welding operations on the inside of the module beam 120, thereby allowing the module beam 120 and the base plate 110 to be welded to form a welding portion, or the mounting beam 130, the module beam 120 and the base plate 110 can be welded to form a welding portion connecting the three, so that the connection strength between the mounting beam 130, the module beam 120 and the base plate 110 can be strengthened.

[0126] According to some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figures 3, 4 and 7. A welding avoidance hole 122 is opened on the side wall of the mounting beam 130 facing away from the base plate 110, and the welding portion is formed on the side wall of the mounting beam 130 facing the base plate 110 and exposed in the welding avoidance hole 122.

[0127] It can be understood that the welding avoidance hole 122 is used to avoid welding operations; the welding avoidance hole 122 can be a through hole that passes through the side wall of the mounting beam 130 facing away from the base plate 110, so that the welding device (such as a welding head) can pass through the welding avoidance hole 122 and perform a welding operation on the side wall of the mounting beam 130 that is attached to the base plate 110, so that the mounting beam 130 and the base plate 110 are welded to form a welding portion, or the base plate 110 and the module beam 120 can be welded to the side wall of the beam that is attached to the base plate 110, so that the base plate 110 and the module beam 120 are welded to form a welding portion.

[0128] Optionally, the number of the welding avoidance holes 122 may be one or more; the specific number of the welding avoidance holes 122 may be determined according to the number of welded portions to be formed, wherein a welding operation performed through one welding avoidance hole 122 may form one welded portion.

[0129] With such an arrangement, the welding avoidance hole 122 can be used to avoid welding operations during assembly, so that a welding device (such as a welding head) can pass through the welding avoidance hole 122 to perform welding operations on the inside of the mounting beam 130, thereby enabling the mounting beam 130 and the base plate 110 to be welded to form a welding portion, or the mounting beam 130, the module beam 120 and the base plate 110 can be welded to form a welding portion connecting the three, so that the connection strength between the mounting beam 130, the module beam 120 and the base plate 110 can be strengthened.

[0130] According to some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figures 3, 4 and 7. A welding avoidance hole 122 is opened on the beam side wall of the module beam 120 away from the base plate 110, and the welding portion is formed on the beam side wall of the module beam 120 facing the base plate 110 and is exposed in the welding avoidance hole 122; at the same time, a welding avoidance hole 122 is also opened on the beam side wall of the mounting beam 130 away from the base plate 110, and the welding portion is formed on the beam side wall of the mounting beam 130 facing the base plate 110 and is exposed in the welding avoidance hole 122.

[0131] It can be understood that welding avoidance holes 122 are opened on both the module beam 120 and the installation beam 130, and welding operations are performed through the welding avoidance holes 122 opened on one side of the module beam 120 and the one side of the welding beam 130, respectively, so that the module beam 120 and the bottom plate 110 are welded to form a welding portion, and the installation beam 130 and the bottom plate 110 are welded to form a welding portion; thus, the bottom plate 110 and the module beam 120 and the installation beam 130 are all welded to form a whole, which can effectively improve the connection strength among the bottom plate 110, the module beam 120 and the installation beam 130, and thus can improve the structural strength of the box body 10.

[0132] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to FIG. 2 to FIG. 4 and FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 , the reinforcement structure 113 includes a second protrusion 1133 formed on the second side surface 112 , and the second protrusion 1133 is configured to be connected to the mounting beam 130 .

[0133] Among them, the second protrusion 1133 is formed on the second side surface 112. Optionally, the second protrusion 1133 can be formed by the base plate 110 protruding toward the second side surface 112; or, the second protrusion 1133 can be formed by an external component fixed to the base plate 110 by welding, bonding, screwing, etc.

[0134] The second raised portion 1133 may be, but is not limited to, a columnar structure, an arc-shaped structure, a hemispherical structure, a block structure, etc.; the number of the second raised portions 1133 may be one or more. When the number of the second raised portions 1133 is multiple, the multiple second raised portions 1133 may be arranged on the second side surface 112 along the length direction of the mounting beam 130 (perpendicular to the thickness direction H), or the multiple second raised portions 1133 may be distributed in an array on the second side surface 112.

[0135] The second protrusion 1133 is connected to the mounting beam 130. Optionally, the second protrusion 1133 can be connected to the mounting beam 130 by bonding, welding, or screwing; or, the second protrusion 1133 can be inserted into the mounting beam 130 and then connected to the mounting beam 130 by bonding, welding, or screwing.

[0136] In this arrangement, by forming a second protrusion 1133 on the second side surface 112 of the base plate 110, and utilizing the second protrusion 1133 to connect the mounting beam 130, the connection strength between the mounting beam 130 and the base plate 110 is improved. When the box body 10 is connected for use, the risk of deformation or fracture between the base plate 110 and the mounting beam 130 can be effectively reduced. Thus, when the box body 10 of the battery 100 is assembled and used through the mounting beam 130, the mounting beam 130 can withstand a box body 10 of greater weight.

[0137] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to FIG. 3 , FIG. 4 , and FIG. 7 to FIG. 9 , a second cavity 1134 is formed on a side of the second protrusion 1133 facing away from the mounting beam 130 .

[0138] It is understandable that the second protrusion 1133 can be a structure protruding from the second side surface 112 formed by the bottom plate 110 being recessed toward the second side surface 112 , so that the second cavity 1134 is formed on the side of the second protrusion 1133 away from the mounting beam 130 .

[0139] With such arrangement, the processing step of the second protrusion 1133 of the bottom plate 110 can be carried out together with the processing step of manufacturing the bottom plate 110, thereby effectively reducing the manufacturing steps of the box body 10 and improving the manufacturing efficiency of the box body 10; at the same time, the second protrusion 1133 with the second cavity 1134 on the back is formed by the depression of the bottom plate 110 itself. Compared with the method of adding an external structure to set the second protrusion 1133, the weight of the box body 10 can be not increased, and the force applied by the box body 10 to the mounting beam 130 when assembled through the mounting beam 130 can be improved, thereby reducing the probability of damage to the mounting beam 130.

[0140] Optionally, a protrusion may be added to the module beam 120 so that when the module beam 120 is assembled to the first side surface 111, the protrusion can be inserted into the second cavity 1134. Thus, when the mounting beam 130 and the second protrusion 1133 are welded together, the protrusion, the mounting beam 130, and the second protrusion 1133 can be welded together to form an integral body, thereby improving the connection strength between the module beam 120, the base plate 110, and the mounting beam 130. The protrusion may be added to the module beam 120 by welding an external block to the side wall of the module beam 120 facing the base plate, or by screwing the block to the side wall of the module beam 120 facing the base plate.

[0141] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to FIG. 3 , FIG. 4 , FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 , there are multiple second protrusions 1133 , and the multiple second protrusions 1133 are disposed on the second side surface 112 at intervals.

[0142] The second protrusions 1133 can be arranged at intervals along any direction on the second side surface 112. For example, in some specific embodiments, the plurality of second protrusions 1133 can be spaced apart along the length of the mounting beam 130. When the mounting beam 130 is arranged on the second side surface 112, the plurality of second protrusions 1133 can be distributed along the length of the mounting beam 130 and respectively connected to the mounting beam 130, thereby achieving a strengthened connection between the mounting beam 130 and the second side surface 112, and effectively improving the connection strength between the mounting beam 130 and the base plate 110.

[0143] In this configuration, by forming a plurality of second protrusions 1133 on the second side surface 112 of the base plate 110 and utilizing the plurality of second protrusions 1133 to connect the mounting beam 130, the number of connection points between the mounting beam 130 and the second side surface 112 of the base plate 110 can be increased, and the connection strength between the mounting beam 130 and the base plate 110 can be effectively improved, thereby effectively reducing the risk of deformation or fracture between the base plate 110 and the mounting beam 130.

[0144] According to some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figures 3, 4, 7 and 8, a gap is formed between the side wall of the mounting beam 130 that is away from the base plate 110 and the base plate 110, and the second protrusion 1133 is connected to the side wall of the module beam 120 that is away from the base plate 110.

[0145] It is understandable that the mounting beam 130 may be a beam structure such as a circular beam (i.e., the cross section of the module beam 120 is rectangular), a polygonal beam (i.e., the cross section of the module beam 120 is approximately polygonal). In some implementations of this embodiment, the mounting beam 130 may be a polygonal beam, i.e., the mounting beam 130 includes a first beam sidewall, second beam sidewalls bent in the same direction at opposite ends of the first beam sidewall, and third beam sidewalls at both ends of the second beam sidewall, each bent at one end away from the first beam sidewall and away from the first beam sidewall; when the mounting beam 130 is fixedly mounted on the second side surface 112 of the base plate 110, the two third beam sidewalls of the mounting beam 130 respectively abut against the second side surface 112, and the first beam sidewall is the beam sidewall away from the base plate 110, forming the aforementioned gap between the first beam sidewall and the base plate 110.

[0146] When the mounting beam 130 is assembled on the second side surface 112 of the base plate 110, the second protrusion 1133 on the second side surface 112 can be accommodated inside the mounting beam 130, so that the second protrusion 1133 can be connected to the inner side surface of the mounting beam 130. For example, the second protrusion 1133 can be connected to the first beam side wall and / or the second beam side wall of the mounting beam 130; in some specific implementations of this embodiment, the second protrusion 1133 can be connected to the first beam side wall of the mounting beam 130 (that is, the beam side wall of the mounting beam 130 facing away from the base plate 110); wherein, the connection method of the second protrusion 1133 to the mounting beam 130 can be bonding, welding, screwing, etc.

[0147] It can be understood that the third beam side wall of the mounting beam 130 is in contact with the second side surface 112 of the base plate 110 , and the third beam side wall can be reinforced and connected to the base plate 110 by bonding or welding to further improve the connection strength between the mounting beam 130 and the base plate 110 .

[0148] In this arrangement, the second protrusion 1133 can be located in the gap between the side wall of the mounting beam 130 facing away from the base plate 110 and the base plate 110 and connected to the side wall of the mounting beam 130 facing away from the base plate 110, thereby achieving the structural reinforcement purpose of the base plate 110 through the second protrusion 1133 and the mounting beam 130.

[0149] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to FIG. 3 , FIG. 4 , FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 , an adhesive layer is further provided between the module beam 120 and the base plate 110 , and the module beam 120 is fixed to the base plate 110 through the adhesive layer.

[0150] It is understood that an adhesive layer can be provided on at least one of the bottom plate 110 and the module beam 120. When the module beam 120 is assembled on the bottom plate 110, the module beam 120 is connected to the bottom plate 110 via the first protrusion 1131. Furthermore, the adhesive layer can be used to strengthen the connection between the module beam 120 and the bottom plate 110. The adhesive layer can be made of an adhesive such as a spot welding adhesive.

[0151] In this way, on the basis of the module beam 120 and the bottom plate 110 being connected by the first protrusion 1131 or fixed by welding, the module beam 120 and the bottom plate 110 are bonded by the adhesive layer, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the module beam 120 and the bottom plate 110, and then improving the connection strength between the module beam 120 and the bottom plate 110, so as to achieve the purpose of meeting the high structural strength requirements of the box body 10.

[0152] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to FIG. 3 , FIG. 4 , FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 , an adhesive layer is further provided between the mounting beam 130 and the base plate 110 , and the mounting beam 130 is fixed to the base plate 110 through the adhesive layer.

[0153] It is understood that an adhesive layer can be provided on at least one of the base plate 110 and the mounting beam 130. When the mounting beam 130 is assembled on the base plate 110, the mounting beam 130 is connected to the base plate 110 via the second protrusion 1133. Furthermore, the adhesive layer can be used to strengthen the connection between the mounting beam 130 and the base plate 110. The adhesive layer can be made of an adhesive such as a spot welding adhesive.

[0154] In this way, on the basis of the mounting beam 130 and the bottom plate 110 being connected by the second protrusion 1133 or fixed by welding, the mounting beam 130 and the bottom plate 110 are bonded by the adhesive layer, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the mounting beam 130 and the bottom plate 110, and then improving the connection strength between the mounting beam 130 and the bottom plate 110, so as to achieve the purpose of meeting the high structural strength requirements of the box body 10.

[0155] According to some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figures 3, 4, 7 and 8. An adhesive layer is further provided between the module beam 120 and the base plate 110, and the module beam 120 is fixed to the base plate 110 through the adhesive layer; at the same time, an adhesive layer is further provided between the mounting beam 130 and the base plate 110, and the mounting beam 130 is fixed to the base plate 110 through the adhesive layer.

[0156] With this arrangement, the module beam 120 and the mounting beam 130 can simultaneously utilize the adhesive layer to strengthen the connection strength with the bottom plate 110 , thereby effectively improving the connection strength among the bottom plate 110 , the module beam 120 and the mounting beam 130 .

[0157] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 7 , the bottom plate 110 is provided with a flow channel, and a heat exchange medium is contained in the flow channel to perform heat exchange with the battery module 20 .

[0158] The flow channel is used to allow the heat exchange medium to flow, so that the heat exchange medium and the battery module 20 can exchange heat and achieve the purpose of cooling the battery module 20. Optionally, the heat exchange medium can be a liquid medium, such as cooling water, cooling oil, etc.

[0159] Alternatively, the flow channel can be formed using a blowing process, that is, the bottom plate 110 can be a blowing cold plate formed by the blowing process. According to the process of blowing cold plates, the weight of the blowing cold plates is relatively small, so using the blowing cold plates as the bottom plate 110 can reduce the overall weight of the box body 10.

[0160] It is understandable that the base plate 110 may also be a brazed cold plate formed by a stamping process.

[0161] For example, in some specific embodiments, the box body 10 may include a bottom plate 110, a module beam 120 and a mounting beam 130. The bottom plate 110 may be a blown cold plate formed by a blowing process. The bottom plate 110 can be recessed toward the first side surface 111 to form a first protrusion 1131. The module beam 120 is an extruded aluminum structure, preferably a 6 series aluminum structure. A through hole is provided on the side wall of the module beam 120 facing the bottom plate 110, and a welding avoidance hole 122 is provided on the side wall of the module beam 120 facing away from the bottom plate 110. The module beam 120 is assembled on the first side surface 111 of the bottom plate 110. 11, the first protrusion 1131 can pass through the through hole and abut against the side wall of the module beam 120 facing away from the bottom plate 110. The first protrusion 1131 and the side wall of the module beam 120 facing away from the bottom plate 110 can be welded into one piece by a spot welding process, and the side wall of the module beam 120 facing the bottom plate 110 and the bottom plate 110 can be spot welded through the welding avoidance hole 122 to form a whole piece. At the same time, the module beam 120 and the first side surface 111 are further reinforced by spot welding glue, which effectively improves the connection strength between the module beam 120 and the bottom plate 110. At the same time, the mounting beam 130 is assembled on the second side surface 112 of the base plate 110. The mounting beam 130 and the base plate 110 can also be welded together by spot welding, or the mounting beam 130, the base plate 110 and the module beam 120 can be welded together by spot welding, and then the spot welding glue is used to bond the fitting part of the mounting beam 130 and the second side surface 112 to achieve a reinforced connection between the mounting beam 130 and the base plate 110.

[0162] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to FIG. 2 , in a second aspect, embodiments of the present application further provide a battery 100 comprising a battery module 20 and the aforementioned housing 10, wherein the battery module 20 is housed within the housing 10 and mounted on a module beam 120. The battery 100 provided in the embodiments of the present application comprises the aforementioned housing 10. Based on the high structural strength of the aforementioned housing 10, the battery 100 also has high structural strength, and the risk of deformation or breakage of the housing 10 when the battery 100 is connected for use is low.

[0165] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.
