[0042] The battery pack 100 according to an embodiment of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] As shown in FIG. 1 , a battery pack 100 according to an embodiment of the present application includes a plurality of battery packs 1 and a BDU module 2 .

[0044] Specifically, referring to FIG1 , a plurality of battery packs 1 are stacked in a first direction (refer to the up and down direction shown in FIG2 ), each battery pack 1 includes a plurality of battery cells 111, and a BDU module 2 (battery energy distribution unit) is arranged on one side of the plurality of battery packs 1 in a second direction (refer to the front and back direction shown in FIG1 ). The total current input pole 12 of one of the two adjacent battery packs 1 in the first direction and the total current output pole 13 of the other are both connected to the BDU module 2 so that the two adjacent battery packs 1 are connected in series through the BDU module 2, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0045] It can be understood that multiple battery packs 1 are stacked in the first direction, and two adjacent battery packs 1 are connected in series through the BDU module 2, which can increase the number of battery cells 111 in the battery pack 100, make the battery cells 111 more compactly arranged in the battery pack 100, improve the space utilization of the battery pack 100 in the first direction, increase the energy density of the battery pack 100, and thus improve the cruising range to meet the user's usage needs. It can also enable the stacked multi-layer battery packs 1 to be connected in the BDU module 2 while meeting the power requirements, simplify the high-voltage connection structure of the stacked battery pack 100, and improve the safety of the battery pack 100.

[0046] For example, the number of battery packs 1 may be two, three, or four, and the number of battery cells 111 in each battery pack 1 may be four, eight, twelve, sixteen, or twenty.

[0047] In a specific example, referring to Figure 1, there are two battery groups 1, and the two battery groups 1 are respectively a first battery group 17 and a second battery group 18. The first battery group 17 and the second battery group 18 are stacked in the up and down directions (as shown in Figure 5), and the first battery group 17 is located on the upper side of the second battery group 18. The total current input pole 12 of the first battery group 17 and the total current output pole 13 of the second battery group 18 are both connected to the BDU module 2 so that the first battery group 17 and the second battery group 18 are connected in series through the BDU module 2.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present application, the battery cell 111 can be a short battery cell or a long battery cell. It should be noted that short battery cells and long battery cells have clear definitions in this field. A short battery cell is a battery cell whose length does not exceed a first preset value, and a long battery cell is a battery cell whose length exceeds a second preset value. The above-mentioned first preset value and second preset value can be equal or unequal, and the first preset value can even be greater than the second preset value. For example, the length of a short battery cell can be 400mm-900mm, and the length of a long battery cell can be 600mm-1200mm.

[0049] According to the battery pack 100 of the embodiment of the present application, multiple battery packs 1 are stacked in a first direction, and two adjacent battery packs 1 are connected in series through a BDU module 2. This can increase the number of battery cells 111 in the battery pack 100, make the battery cells 111 more compactly arranged in the battery pack 100, improve the space utilization of the battery pack 100 in the first direction, increase the energy density of the battery pack 100, and thus improve the cruising range to meet the user's usage needs. In addition, while meeting the power demand, the stacked multi-layer battery packs 1 can be connected in the BDU module 2, simplifying the high-voltage connection structure of the stacked battery pack 100 and improving the safety of the battery pack 100.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figures 2 and 3, each battery pack 1 includes a plurality of cell groups 11 spaced apart along a third direction (as shown in Figure 2), and each cell group 11 includes a plurality of cell groups 111 arranged in the second direction. The third direction, the second direction, and the first direction are perpendicular to each other, which can further increase the number of cell groups 111 in the battery pack 100, so that the cell groups 111 are arranged more compactly in the battery pack 100, thereby improving the space utilization of the battery pack 100 in the second and third directions, increasing the energy density of the battery pack 100, and thereby improving the cruising range to meet the user's usage needs.

[0051] For example, the number of the battery cell groups 11 spaced apart along the third direction in each battery pack 1 may be two, three, four or five.

[0052] In a specific example, referring to Figures 2 and 4 , each battery pack 1 includes two cell groups 11 spaced apart along the third direction, and each cell group 11 includes a plurality of cells 111 arranged in the second direction. This further increases the number of cells 111 within the battery pack 100, allowing the cells 111 to be arranged more compactly within the battery pack 100, improving the space utilization of the battery pack 100 in the second and third directions, increasing the energy density of the battery pack 100, and thereby improving the range to meet user needs. In some embodiments, the length of each cell 111 can be 400 mm to 900 mm, i.e., each cell 111 can be a short cell, and the two cell groups 11 in the same battery pack 1 are arranged side by side to increase the arrangement density of the cells 111.

[0053] Of course, the present application is not limited thereto. Each battery pack 1 may also include only one cell group 11, with multiple cells 111 in the cell group 11 arranged in a single row. In some embodiments, the length of each cell 111 may be 600 mm to 1200 mm, that is, each cell 111 may be a long cell to increase the arrangement density of the cells 111.

[0054] In an embodiment of the present application, referring to FIG4 , multiple battery cells 111 in each battery cell group 11 are connected in series, and multiple battery cell groups 11 in the same battery pack 1 are connected in series, thereby connecting all battery cells 111 in the same battery pack 1 in series, ensuring the layout of the high-voltage circuit of the battery pack 100.

[0055] Specifically, referring to Figure 1, two adjacent battery cells 111 in each battery cell group 11 are connected in series through a connecting piece 16. The connecting piece 16 is located at one end of the battery cell group 11 along the second direction, and the two ends of the connecting piece 16 in the length direction are respectively connected to the positive or negative poles of the two adjacent battery cells 111 in the same battery cell group 11, thereby realizing the series connection of multiple battery cells 111 in each battery cell group 11.

[0056] In an embodiment of the present application, referring to FIG4 , each battery cell 111 has a positive electrode and a negative electrode located at both ends of a third direction, and the positive electrodes of two adjacent battery cells 111 in the same battery cell group 11 are located at opposite ends of the third direction, so that the positive electrode and the negative electrode in each battery cell 111 are respectively located at both ends of the third direction, which can increase the spacing between different electrodes, prevent the risk of high-voltage arc breakdown, facilitate the arrangement and assembly of multiple battery cells 111, ensure the reliability of the assembly of the battery cells 111, and facilitate the connecting piece 16 to connect the two adjacent battery cells 111 in the same battery cell group 11 in series.

[0057] In an embodiment of the present application, referring to FIG4 , each battery cell 111 has a positive electrode and a negative electrode arranged at both ends of a third direction, and the two adjacent battery cell groups 11 in the same battery pack 1 are respectively the first battery cell group and the second battery cell group, and the two battery cells 111 opposite to each other in the third direction of the first battery cell group and the second battery cell group are respectively the first battery cell and the second battery cell, and the positive electrodes of the first battery cell and the second battery cell are located at opposite ends of the third direction, which can stagger the total current input electrode 12 and the total current output electrode 13 of the same battery pack 1, simplify the design difficulty of the BDU module 2, reduce the high voltage risk on the side of the battery pack 1 close to the BDU module 2, and improve the safety and reliability of the battery pack 100.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG3 , two adjacent cell groups 11 in the same battery pack 1 are connected via a first connecting bar 14 , thereby reducing the number of interfaces for electrically connecting the BDU module 2 to multiple battery packs 1 and the number of wiring between the BDU module 2 and multiple battery packs 1, thereby reducing the risk of high-voltage breakdown. It is understood that by connecting two adjacent cells 111 in the same cell group 11 in series via the connecting piece 16 , and connecting two adjacent cell groups 11 in the same battery pack 1 in series via the first connecting bar 14 , all cells 111 in the same battery pack 1 are connected in series, ensuring the layout of the high-voltage circuit of the battery pack 100 . In the embodiment of the present application, the first connecting bar 14 is an aluminum bar.

[0059] In an embodiment of the present application, referring to Figures 1 and 3 , the first connecting row 14 is located on the side of the battery pack 1 away from the BDU module 2, and the corresponding first connecting rows 14 in the multiple battery packs 1 have the same extension direction, and the two ends of the length direction (refer to the third direction shown in Figure 3 ) are flush and arranged relative to each other in the first direction, thereby avoiding the horizontal and vertical staggered layout between the first connecting rows 14 corresponding to the multiple battery packs 1, ensuring sufficient electrical spacing, effectively reducing the electrical safety risks under various safety abuse test conditions, and improving the safety and reliability of the battery pack 100.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figures 1 and 2 , the total current input pole 12 and the total current output pole 13 of each battery group 1 are located at one end of the battery group 1 close to the BDU module 2, which can facilitate the connection of the total current input pole 12 and the total current output pole 13 of each battery group 1 with the BDU module 2, ensuring that two adjacent battery groups 1 in the first direction are connected in series through the BDU module 2, simplifying the routing between the BDU module 2 and multiple battery groups 1, and facilitating the high-voltage circuit layout of the battery pack 100.

[0061] In a specific example, referring to Figure 1, there are two battery groups 1, and the two battery groups 1 are respectively a first battery group 17 and a second battery group 18. The first battery group 17 and the second battery group 18 are stacked in the up and down directions, and the first battery group 17 is located on the upper side of the second battery group 18. The total current input pole 12 of the first battery group 17 and the total current output pole 13 of the second battery group 18 are both connected to the BDU module 2 so that the first battery group 17 and the second battery group 18 are connected in series through the BDU module 2.

[0062] In the example shown in Figures 4 and 5, current flows from the BDU module 2 through the current total input pole 12 of the first battery group 17 into a cell group 11 of the first battery group 17, powering the cell 111. Through the connection of the first connecting bar 14 of the first battery group 17, the current flows from one cell group 11 to the adjacent cell group 11, and then flows back to the BDU module 2 through the current total output pole 13 of the first battery group 17. The adjacent first battery group 17 and second battery group 18 are connected in series through the BDU module 2. Current flows from the BDU module 2 through the current total input pole 12 of the second battery group 18 into a cell group 11 of the second battery group 18. Through the connection of the first connecting bar 14 of the second battery group 18, the current flows from one cell group 11 to the adjacent cell group 11, and then returns to the BDU module 2 through the current total output pole 13 of the second battery group 18, thereby realizing a high-voltage circuit for the battery pack 100, complying with electrical safety design, and ensuring the safety and reliability of the battery pack 100.

[0063] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figures 1 and 3 , the battery pack 100 further includes a rear-drive high-voltage port 3 . The rear-drive high-voltage port 3 is located on a side of the multiple battery packs 1 away from the BDU module 2 and is connected to the BDU module 2 via a second connecting bar 15 . The end of the rear-drive high-voltage port 3 away from the second connecting bar 15 is connected to the rear-drive motor control system. The rear-drive motor control system can be driven and powered by the second connecting bar 15 . The provision of the second connecting bar 15 reduces vehicle-level wiring outside the battery pack 100, simplifies vehicle wiring layout, and improves the efficiency of assembly and disassembly of the battery pack 100 . In an embodiment of the present application, the second connecting bar 15 is a copper-aluminum composite.

[0064] In an embodiment of the present application, referring to Figures 3 and 4 , the projections of the first connecting row 14 and the second connecting row 15 on a plane perpendicular to the first direction do not intersect, so that the electrical gap between the first connecting row 14 and the second connecting row 15 can be reasonably controlled, avoiding the staggered layout of the first connecting row 14 and the second connecting row 15, making the wiring clean and tidy, reducing the high-voltage risk of the battery pack 100, ensuring the electrical safety of the battery pack 100, and also improving the EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) test reliability capability.

[0065] In an embodiment of the present application, a pre-charging module is provided in the BDU module 2, and the second connecting row 15 is connected to the pre-charging module. The pre-charging module includes a pre-charging resistor and a pre-charging relay. It can be understood that by performing corresponding logical control in the BMS (battery management system), the battery pack 100 can be charged through the second connecting row 15. Combined with the front-wheel drive high-voltage port of the battery pack 100, the front-wheel drive high-voltage port and the rear-wheel drive high-voltage port 3 can be used to charge the battery pack 100 at the same time, and the setting of the pre-charging module can play a protective role and improve the safety of the battery pack 100.

[0066] In an embodiment of the present application, referring to Figures 1 and 4 , each battery pack 1 includes two cell groups 11, and the battery pack 100 also includes an acquisition circuit board 4. The acquisition circuit board 4 is used for low-voltage signal acquisition. There are multiple acquisition circuit boards 4 and they correspond one-to-one to the multiple cell groups 11 in the multiple battery packs 1. The corresponding two acquisition circuit boards 4 in the same battery pack 1 are respectively located on the side of the two cell groups 11 away from each other, thereby increasing the distance between the cell 111 and the inner wall of the battery pack 100, and providing a certain buffer space when the battery pack 100 collides, thereby reducing the safety risks of collision and abuse testing.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG4 , the layout of the battery cells 111 of multiple battery packs 1 is the same, which can ensure the consistency of the stacking assembly of the battery cells 111, reduce design and production materials, avoid increasing process design and control requirements, reduce the production risk of the battery pack 100, and speed up the production rhythm and improve production efficiency.

[0068] The present application also provides a vehicle having the battery pack 100 of the above embodiment.

[0069] According to the vehicle of the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned battery pack 100 is provided, and multiple battery groups 1 are stacked in a first direction, and two adjacent battery groups 1 are connected in series through a BDU module 2. While meeting the power demand, the stacked multi-layer battery groups 1 can be connected within the BDU module 2, which simplifies the high-voltage connection structure of the stacked battery pack 100 and improves the safety of the battery pack 100.

[0070] Other structures and operations of the battery pack 100 and the vehicle according to the embodiment of the present application are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
