[0061] At present, from the perspective of market development, the application of vehicles is becoming more and more extensive. Vehicles include body structures. As the application scope of vehicles continues to expand, the market demand for body structures is also constantly increasing.
[0062] In related technologies, the vehicle's body structure includes multiple mounting parts such as the vehicle body, front and rear panels, front and rear doors, and a battery pack. During actual assembly, multiple mounting parts need to be installed on the vehicle body separately according to their structural layout. This leads to disadvantages such as difficulty in assembly and low production efficiency.
[0063] In order to alleviate the problems of difficult assembly and low production efficiency, the vehicle body can be divided into an upper body and a lower body, and then the battery pack can be integrated into the lower body, and then the lower body and the upper body can be connected. However, when a problem occurs with the battery pack, when disassembling the battery pack in the complete vehicle state, the upper body and the lower body need to be disassembled, and then the front and rear ends of the battery pack need to be disassembled. The operation is complicated, the disassembly time is long, and the maintenance cost is high.
[0064] Based on the above considerations, in order to solve the problems of complex battery pack disassembly and assembly, high disassembly hours, high maintenance costs and inconvenience for after-sales maintenance, in this application, a lower body is designed. By setting the lower body to include a front cabin assembly, a battery assembly and a rear cabin assembly, the battery assembly is integrated into the lower body, which is beneficial to reducing the number of parts and reducing the total weight of the vehicle body structure. In addition, by setting the battery assembly to be independently disassembled relative to the front cabin assembly and the rear cabin assembly, the battery assembly can be independently disassembled away from the upper body. When the battery assembly needs to be repaired and replaced, the battery assembly can be disassembled separately for repair and replacement without disassembling the upper body and the front cabin assembly and the rear cabin assembly, thereby improving the convenience of disassembly and assembly, and helping to improve the efficiency of replacement and maintenance, and improving user experience.
[0065] Against the backdrop of increasing demand for vehicles, the battery assembly of the lower body of the present application is more convenient to disassemble and assemble, which helps to improve replacement and maintenance efficiency and enhance user experience.
[0066] For the convenience of description, the following embodiments are described using a vehicle 1000 as an example of an embodiment of the present application.
[0067] Please refer to FIG1 , which is a schematic structural diagram of a vehicle 1000 provided in some embodiments of the present application.

The front cabin assembly 21 is used to transmit the front collision load, and the rear cabin assembly 23 has the important functions of placing a spare tire and reducing fuel tank damage and passenger injuries by deforming itself during a rear collision.
[0068] The battery assembly 22 refers to a physical module that includes one or more battery cells to provide higher voltage and capacity. For example, the battery assembly 22 mentioned in this application may include a battery module or a battery pack, etc. Some battery assemblies 22 may include a box 221 for encapsulating one or more battery cells or battery modules. The box 221 can reduce or prevent liquids or other foreign matter from affecting the charging or discharging of the battery cells. The battery cells can be used to power the vehicle 1000. For example, the battery cells can serve as the operating power source of the vehicle 1000. The vehicle 1000 may also include a controller 200 and a motor 300. The controller 200 is used to control the battery cells to power the motor 300, for example, for the starting, navigation and driving power requirements of the vehicle 1000.
[0069] The structure of the box 221 can be flexibly set. For example, in some embodiments, the box 221 can include a first shell and a second shell, which are fastened together to form a sealed box 221. In other embodiments, the box 221 includes a frame having an upper opening and a lower opening, and the frame cooperates with other structures of the vehicle 1000 to form a sealed structure. In still other embodiments, the box 221 includes one of an upper cover and a lower cover, and the upper cover is used to cover the upper opening of the frame, and the lower cover is used to cover the lower opening of the frame, so that the box 221 has an end opening, and the end opening can cooperate with other structures of the vehicle 1000 to form a sealed structure. All of this is within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0070] Battery cells may include lithium-ion secondary batteries, lithium-ion primary batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, sodium-lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, or magnesium-ion batteries, etc., and the present application does not limit this.

[0080] The connection method between the first upper body connection part 212 and the upper body 10 includes but is not limited to welding, bolt connection, clamping, bonding, etc. Similarly, the connection method between the second upper body connection part 232 and the upper body 10 includes but is not limited to welding, bolt connection, clamping, bonding, etc.
[0081] For example, the first upper body connection portion 212 and the second upper body connection portion 232 are both connected to the upper body 10 by bolts, wherein a portion of the bolts extend from the inner side of the upper body 10 toward the outside of the vehicle to connect the first upper body connection portion 212 and / or the second upper body connection portion 232 to the upper body 10, and another portion of the bolts extend from the outside of the vehicle toward the inner side of the upper body 10 to connect the first upper body connection portion 212 and / or the second upper body connection portion 232 to the upper body 10.
[0082] For example, the first connection part 211 and the second connection part 231 are both connected to the battery assembly 22 through corresponding bolts, and the bolts at the first connection part 211 do not interfere with the bolts at the first upper body connection part 212, and the bolts at the second connection part 231 do not interfere with the bolts at the second upper body connection part 232. In this way, when disassembling the battery assembly 22, it is easier to disassemble the bolts at the first connection part 211 and the bolts at the second connection part 231, so that the battery assembly 22 can be disassembled independently.
[0083] The lower body 20 may be provided with a shielding structure to shield part of the above-mentioned bolts. The shielding structure may be other interior structures such as a car carpet or floor mat to shield part of the above-mentioned bolts, avoid interference with other structures, and make them not directly visible, thereby enhancing the flatness of the inner side of the lower body 20.
[0084] Among them, the upper body 10 avoids the first connection part 211 and the second connection part 231, that is, the first connection part 211 and the second connection part 231 are exposed on the upper body 10. For example, in the distribution direction of the upper body 10 and the lower body 20, the projection of the first connection part 211 does not overlap with the projection of the upper body 10, and in the distribution direction of the upper body 10 and the lower body 20, the projection of the second connection part 231 does not overlap with the projection of the upper body 10, that is, the upper body 10 will not block the first connection part 211 and the second connection part 231.
[0085] Therefore, when the battery assembly 22 needs to be repaired and replaced, since the upper body 10 will not block the first connection part 211 and the second connection part 231, the staff can disassemble the battery assembly 22 separately away from the upper body 10 for repair and replacement without disassembling the upper body 10 and the front cabin assembly 21 and the rear cabin assembly 23, thereby improving the convenience of disassembly and assembly, which is conducive to improving the efficiency of replacement and maintenance and improving user experience.
[0086] For example, when the battery assembly 22 needs to be disassembled, only the battery assembly 22 can be removed while the front compartment assembly 21 and the rear compartment assembly 23 remain connected to the upper body 10. For example, in an embodiment where the battery assembly 22 is directly connected to the front compartment assembly 21 and the rear compartment assembly 23 and abuts the upper body 10, the connection between the battery assembly 22 and the front compartment assembly 21 and the rear compartment assembly 23 can be disconnected while the front compartment assembly 21 and the rear compartment assembly are respectively connected to the upper body 10, thereby facilitating the separation of the battery assembly 22 from the upper body 10. For another example, in an embodiment where the battery assembly 22 is connected to the upper body 10 via fasteners, the connection between the battery assembly 22 and the upper body 10 can be disconnected without affecting the connection between the front compartment assembly 21 and the rear compartment assembly 23 and the upper body 10, thereby facilitating the separation of the battery assembly 22 from the upper body 10.
[0087] Of course, in the embodiment where the front cabin assembly 21 is detachable, when the front cabin assembly 21 is disassembled, the front cabin assembly 21 can be detachable alone, or it can be detached together with the battery assembly 22, or it can be detached together with the battery assembly 22 and the rear cabin assembly 23; in the embodiment where the rear cabin assembly 23 is detachable, when the rear cabin assembly 23 is disassembled, the rear cabin assembly 23 can be detachable alone, or it can be detached together with the battery assembly 22, or it can be detached together with the battery assembly 22 and the front cabin assembly 21, all of which are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0088] According to the lower body 20 of the embodiment of the present application, by setting the lower body 20 to include a front cabin assembly 21, a battery assembly 22 and a rear cabin assembly 23, the battery assembly 22 is integrated into the lower body 20, which is beneficial to reducing the number of parts and reducing the total weight of the lower body 20, and by setting the battery assembly 22 to be independently detachable relative to the front cabin assembly 21 and the rear cabin assembly 23, the battery assembly 22 can be independently disassembled in a manner away from the upper body 10, so that when the battery assembly 22 needs to be repaired and replaced, since the upper body 10 will not block the first connection part 211 and the second connection part 231, the staff can separately disassemble the battery assembly 22 for repair and replacement without disassembling the upper body 10, thereby improving the convenience of disassembly and assembly, and helping to improve the replacement and maintenance efficiency and improve the user experience.
[0089] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4, the first connection part 211 includes a front side fixing part 2111 and a front top fixing part 2112, and a front side fixing part 2111 is provided on both sides of the left and right sides of the front top fixing part 2112. The front side fixing part 2111 is detachably connected to the battery assembly 22, and the front top fixing part 2112 is detachably connected to the battery assembly 22.
[0090] Therefore, by setting the first connection part 211 to include the front side fixing part 2111 and the front top fixing part 2112, when the first connection part 211 is connected to the battery assembly 22, it can be detachably connected to the battery assembly 22 through the front side fixing part 2111 and the front top fixing part 2112 respectively, thereby enhancing the connection area between the front cabin assembly 21 and the battery assembly 22, so as to enhance the connection stability between the front cabin assembly 21 and the battery assembly 22.
[0091] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 5 and 6 , Figure 5 is an enlarged view of point A in Figure 2 , and Figure 6 is an enlarged view of point B in Figure 2 , the first portion 21111 of the front side fixing portion 2111 is located inside the battery assembly 22 ; the lower body 20 further includes a first fastener 31 and a second fastener 32 . The first fastener 31 passes through the battery assembly 22 and is fixed to the first portion 21111 , while the second fastener 32 passes through the first portion 21111 and is fixed to the battery assembly 22 .
[0092] The “inside” refers to a side closer to the inside of the vehicle in the left-right direction, and conversely, the “outside” refers to a side closer to the outside of the vehicle in the left-right direction.
[0093] Therefore, by setting the first part 21111 of the front side fixing part 2111 to be located on the inner side of the battery assembly 22, the battery assembly 22 is located on the outer side of the first part 21111, that is, the front side fixing part 2111 and the battery assembly 22 are distributed in the left and right directions of the vehicle 1000. In this way, when the battery assembly 22 needs to be repaired and replaced, after the connection structure of the battery assembly 22 is released, the battery assembly 22 can be directly moved on the outer side of the first part 21111 to separate from the first part 21111, so as to avoid interference between the first part 21111 and the disassembly movement of the battery assembly 22.
[0094] Among them, the first fastener 31 passes through the battery assembly 22 and is fixed to the first part 21111, and the second fastener 32 passes through the first part 21111 and is fixed to the battery assembly 22, that is, the first fastener 31 is roughly passed through from the outside to the inside along the left and right direction to realize the connection between the first part 21111 and the battery assembly 22, and the second fastener 32 is roughly passed through from the inside to the outside along the left and right direction to realize the fixation of the first part 21111 and the battery assembly 22, thereby enhancing the connection stability between the first part 21111 and the battery assembly 22 while avoiding the upper body from blocking the fastening position of the first fastener 31 or the second fastener 32, so as to improve the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the battery assembly 22 and the first part 21111.
[0095] It should be noted that the first fastener 31 and the second fastener 32 can both be constructed as bolts, or connecting columns or other structures, which are not limited here. When the first fastener 31 and the second fastener 32 are constructed as bolts, nuts are correspondingly embedded on the first part 21111 or the battery assembly 22.
[0096] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 5 and 7, Figure 7 is an enlarged view of point E in Figure 3. There are multiple first fasteners 31, with some first fasteners 31 spaced apart along a first direction L1, and others spaced apart along a second direction L2, with the first direction and the second direction forming an angle.
[0097] For example, the first direction is the front-to-back direction of the vehicle, i.e., the X direction, and the second direction is the height direction of the vehicle, i.e., the Z direction. In this way, a part of the first fasteners 31 and another part of the first fasteners 31 are spaced apart along different directions, so that multiple first fasteners 31 can fix the first part 21111 and the battery assembly 22 in two directions (X direction and Z direction), thereby enhancing the connection strength between the first part 21111 and the battery assembly 22 in the X direction and the Z direction, and further enhancing its connection stability.
[0098] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 5 , the second portion 21112 of the front side fixing portion 2111 is located above the battery assembly 22 ; the lower body 20 further includes a third fastener 33 , which passes through the second portion 21112 in sequence and is fixed to the battery assembly 22 .
[0099] Thus, by arranging the second part 21112 of the front side fixing portion 2111 above the battery assembly 22, when the battery assembly 22 needs to be repaired and replaced, after the connection structure of the battery assembly 22 is released, the battery assembly 22 can move directly downward under the second part 21112 to separate from the second part 21112, so as to avoid interference between the second part 21112 and the disassembly movement of the battery assembly 22, wherein the third fastener 33 is passed through the second part 21112 and fixed to the battery assembly 22, that is, the fixing direction of the third fastener 33 is approximately the up and down direction, thereby enhancing the connection stability between the second part 21112 and the battery assembly 22 in the up and down direction (that is, the Z direction).
[0100] It should be noted that the third fastener 33 can be constructed as a bolt, a connecting column or other structure, which is not limited here. When the third fastener 33 is constructed as a bolt, a nut is correspondingly embedded on the battery assembly 22.
[0101] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 6 , the front top fixing portion 2112 is located above the battery assembly 22 ; the lower body 20 further includes a fourth fastener 34 , which passes through the front top fixing portion 2112 and is fixed to the battery assembly 22 .
[0102] Thus, by setting the front top fixing portion 2112 above the battery assembly 22, when the battery assembly 22 needs to be repaired and replaced, after the connection structure of the battery assembly 22 is released, the battery assembly 22 can move directly downward below the front top fixing portion 2112 to separate from the front top fixing portion 2112, so as to avoid interference between the front top fixing portion 2112 and the disassembly movement of the battery assembly 22, wherein the fourth fastener 34 is passed through the front top fixing portion 2112 and fixed to the battery assembly 22, that is, the fixing direction of the fourth fastener 34 is approximately in the up and down direction, thereby enhancing the connection stability between the front top fixing portion 2112 and the battery assembly 22 in the up and down direction.
[0103] For example, the fourth fastener 34 can be constructed as a bolt, a connecting column or other structures, which are not limited here. When the fourth fastener 34 is constructed as a bolt, a nut is correspondingly embedded on the battery assembly 22.
[0104] In some embodiments, the second connection portion 231 includes a rear side fixing portion 2311 . Please refer to FIG. 8 , which is an enlarged view of point C in FIG. 2 .
[0105] The rear side fixing portion 2311 includes a third part 23111 and a fourth part 23112, the third part 23111 is located above the fourth part 23112, and the third part 23111 and the fourth part 23112 are both located above the battery assembly 22; the lower body 20 also includes a plurality of fifth fasteners 35, a part of the fifth fasteners 35 passes through the third part 23111 and is fixed to the battery assembly 22, and another part of the fifth fasteners 35 passes through the fourth part 23112 and is fixed to the battery assembly 22.
[0106] Thus, by setting the third part 23111 and the fourth part 23112 to be located above the battery assembly 22, when the battery assembly 22 needs to be repaired and replaced, after the connection structure of the battery assembly 22 is released, the battery assembly 22 can move directly downward under the third part 23111 and the fourth part 23112 to separate from the third part 23111 and the fourth part 23112, so as to avoid interference between the third part 23111 and the fourth part 23112 and the disassembly movement of the battery assembly 22.
[0107] 8 , a portion of the fifth fasteners 35 and another portion of the fifth fasteners 35 are respectively fixed to the battery assembly 22 through the third portion 23111 and the fourth portion 23112, and the third portion 23111 is located above the fourth portion 23112, so that multiple fifth fasteners 35 can fix the rear side fixing portion 2311 and the battery assembly 22 at two heights, thereby enhancing the connection strength between the rear side fixing portion 2311 and the battery assembly 22, and further enhancing the connection stability.
[0108] For example, the fifth fastener 35 can be constructed as a bolt, a connecting column or other structures, which are not limited here. When the fifth fastener 35 is constructed as a bolt, a nut is correspondingly embedded on the battery assembly 22.
[0109] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG. 9 , which is an enlarged view of point D in FIG. 2 .
[0110] The rear side fixing portion 2311 further includes a fifth portion 23113 , which is located on the inner side of the battery assembly 22 ; the lower body 20 further includes a sixth fastener 36 , which passes through the fifth portion 23113 and is fixed to the battery assembly 22 .
[0111] Therefore, by setting the fifth part 23113 to be located on the inner side of the battery assembly 22, so that the battery assembly 22 is located on the outer side of the fifth part 23113, that is, the fifth part 23113 and the battery assembly 22 are distributed in the left and right directions of the vehicle 1000, in this way, when the battery assembly 22 needs to be repaired and replaced, after the connection structure of the battery assembly 22 is released, the battery assembly 22 can be directly moved on the outer side of the fifth part 23113 to separate from the fifth part 23113, so as to avoid interference between the fifth part 23113 and the disassembly movement of the battery assembly 22.
[0112] Among them, the sixth fastener 36 passes through the fifth part 23113 and is fixed to the battery assembly 22, that is, the sixth fastener 36 is roughly passed from the inside to the outside along the left and right direction to achieve the fixation of the fifth part 23113 and the battery assembly 22, thereby enhancing the connection stability between the fifth part 23113 and the battery assembly 22 in the left and right directions while avoiding the upper body from blocking the fastening position of the sixth fastener 36, so as to improve the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the battery assembly 22 and the fifth part 23113.
[0113] For example, the sixth fastener 36 can be constructed as a bolt, a connecting column, or other structures, which are not limited here. When the sixth fastener 36 is constructed as a bolt, a nut is correspondingly embedded on the battery assembly 22.
[0114] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9, the second connection part 231 also includes a rear top fixing part 2312, and rear side fixing parts 2311 are provided on both sides of the rear top fixing part 2312; the rear top fixing part 2312 is located above the battery assembly 22; the lower body 20 also includes a seventh fastener 37, and the seventh fastener 37 passes through the rear top fixing part 2312 and is fixed to the battery assembly 22.
[0115] Therefore, by setting the rear top fixing portion 2312 above the battery assembly 22, so that the battery assembly 22 is located below the rear top fixing portion 2312, that is, the rear top fixing portion 2312 and the battery assembly 22 are distributed in the upper and lower directions of the vehicle 1000, so that when the battery assembly 22 needs to be repaired and replaced, after the connection structure of the battery assembly 22 is released, the battery assembly 22 can be directly moved downward below the rear top fixing portion 2312 to separate from the rear top fixing portion 2312, so as to avoid interference between the rear top fixing portion 2312 and the disassembly movement of the battery assembly 22.
[0116] Among them, the seventh fastener 37 passes through the rear top fixing part 2312 and is fixed to the battery assembly 22, that is, the seventh fastener 37 is roughly passed from top to bottom along the up and down direction to achieve the fixation of the rear top fixing part 2312 and the battery assembly 22, thereby enhancing the connection stability between the rear top fixing part 2312 and the battery assembly 22 in the up and down direction while avoiding the upper body from blocking the fastening position of the seventh fastener 37, so as to improve the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the battery assembly 22 and the rear top fixing part 2312.
[0117] For example, the seventh fastener 37 can be constructed as a bolt, a connecting column or other structure, which is not limited here. When the seventh fastener 37 is constructed as a bolt, a nut is correspondingly embedded on the battery assembly 22.
[0118] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 4 , the lower body 20 further includes a first seal 41 and a second seal 42 . The first seal 41 seals the gap between the front compartment assembly 21 and the battery assembly 22 , and the second seal 42 seals the gap between the rear compartment assembly 23 and the battery assembly 22 .
[0119] Therefore, the provision of the first seal 41 can improve the sealing between the front compartment assembly 21 and the battery assembly 22 , and the provision of the second seal 42 can improve the sealing between the rear compartment assembly 23 and the battery assembly 22 .
[0120] The specific structures of the first sealing member 41 and the second sealing member 42 can be flexibly set, and at least one of them can be a sealant, a sealing rubber strip, etc., which is not limited here.
[0121] In some embodiments, the first sealing member 41 and / or the second sealing member 42 is an adhesive member, and the adhesive member is used to cooperate with the battery assembly 22.
[0122] Therefore, the first seal 41 is an adhesive part, which can ensure the sealing effect of the connection between the front cabin assembly 21 and the battery assembly 22 while enhancing the connection reliability between the front cabin assembly 21 and the battery assembly 22, and / or the second seal 42 is an adhesive part, which can ensure the sealing effect of the connection between the rear cabin assembly 23 and the battery assembly 22 while enhancing the connection reliability between the rear cabin assembly 23 and the battery assembly 22, and the structure is simpler, which is conducive to reducing costs.
[0123] In some embodiments, the battery assembly 22 includes a box body 221 and a battery cell disposed in the box body 221 . The box body 221 includes a door sill beam 222 . The front cabin assembly 21 , the rear cabin assembly 23 and the upper body 10 are respectively detachably connected to the box body 221 .
[0124] Therefore, the box body 221 can provide shielding and protection for the battery cells. The box body 221 includes a door sill beam 222, and the front cabin assembly 21, the rear cabin assembly 23 and the upper body 10 are respectively detachably connected to the box body 221, so that the box body 221 is integrated with the front cabin assembly 21 and the rear cabin assembly 23 as the vehicle body floor to form the lower body 20, thereby realizing the design of the box body 221 being integrated into the lower body 20.
[0125] For example, the housing 221 includes a frame that provides shelter and protection for the battery cells. Components used to mount the battery assembly 22 can be connected to the frame, such as at least one of the upper body 10, the front compartment assembly 21, and the rear compartment assembly 23. This allows for edge mounting of the battery assembly 22, improving the stability of the battery assembly 22.
[0126] In addition, the box body 221 includes a sill beam 222. The sill beam 222 is a very important protective component of the vehicle 1000. It can effectively resist external intrusion in the event of a side collision of the vehicle 1000, protect the integrity of the passenger compartment, and reduce injuries to passengers in the vehicle.
[0127] The frame includes a threshold beam 222. In other words, the threshold beam 222 is connected to the frame wall of the frame to improve the overall structural strength of the box 221; or the threshold beam 222 directly serves as the frame wall of the frame to reduce the number of components of the battery assembly 22, reduce the space occupied by the box 221 to improve energy density, and reduce the weight of the entire vehicle.
[0128] It should be noted that the frame has an upper opening and a lower opening. The upper opening can be sealed by the upper body 10 or by other structures of the battery assembly 22; the lower opening can be sealed by components such as the bottom guard plate or by other structures of the battery assembly 22, which can place the battery cells in a relatively closed space.
[0129] For example, in some embodiments, the housing 221 further includes an upper cover that seals the upper opening of the frame and includes a front floor. In other words, the front floor is integrated with the battery assembly 22 and is assembled and disassembled along with the battery assembly 22. This allows the upper cover to seal the upper opening before the battery assembly 22 is assembled with the upper vehicle body 10, improving sealing effectiveness and ease of operation. Furthermore, it reduces the number of components in the upper cover. For example, the front floor directly seals the upper opening without the need for a separate cover structure, thereby reducing the space and weight of the housing 221 and improving energy density.
[0130] In some embodiments, the housing 221 further includes a lower cover that seals the lower opening of the frame and includes a bottom guard plate. In other words, the bottom guard plate is integrated with the battery assembly 22 and is assembled and disassembled along with the battery assembly 22. This allows the lower cover to seal the lower opening as needed before the battery assembly 22 is mated with the upper body 10, improving sealing effectiveness and ease of operation. Furthermore, this helps reduce the number of components in the lower cover. For example, the bottom guard plate directly seals the lower opening, eliminating the need for a separate cover plate structure. This reduces the space and weight occupied by the housing 221 and improves energy density.
[0131] In a second aspect, the present application provides a vehicle body structure 100 , including an upper vehicle body 10 and a lower vehicle body 20 , wherein the lower vehicle body 20 is the lower vehicle body 20 in any of the above-mentioned embodiments, and the upper vehicle body 10 avoids the first connection portion 211 and the second connection portion 231 .
[0132] The upper body 10 avoids the first connection portion 211 and the second connection portion 231, that is, the first connection portion 211 and the second connection portion 231 are exposed on the upper body 10. For example, in the distribution direction of the upper body 10 and the lower body 20, the projection of the first connection portion 211 does not overlap with the projection of the upper body 10, and in the distribution direction of the upper body 10 and the lower body 20, the projection of the second connection portion 231 does not overlap with the projection of the upper body 10, that is, the upper body 10 does not block the first connection portion 211 and the second connection portion 231. In other words, the upper body 10 does not block the first connection portion 211 and the second connection portion 231.
[0133] Therefore, when the battery assembly 22 needs to be repaired and replaced, since the upper body 10 will not block the first connection part 211 and the second connection part 231, the staff can disassemble the battery assembly 22 separately for repair and replacement without disassembling the upper body 10 and the front cabin assembly 21 and the rear cabin assembly 23, thereby improving the convenience of disassembly and assembly, which is conducive to improving the efficiency of replacement and maintenance and improving user experience.
[0134] In some embodiments, the vehicle body structure 100 further includes a third seal 43 , which seals a gap between the battery assembly 22 and the upper vehicle body 10 .
[0135] Thus, by providing the third seal 43 , the sealing performance of the connection between the upper vehicle body 10 and the battery assembly 22 can be improved.
[0136] 4 , the first sealing member 41 and / or the second sealing member 42 are connected to the third sealing member 43 , thereby reducing the sealing gap and improving the sealing effect.
[0137] For example, in some embodiments, referring to FIG. 4 , the first sealing member 41 is adhesive, which bonds the battery assembly 22 and the front compartment assembly 21. The adhesive's viscous properties provide a better seal and prevent misalignment during assembly, which could compromise the seal. When disassembling the battery assembly 22, the adhesive can be removed by tearing it off without interfering with disassembly.
[0138] Furthermore, in the embodiment where the first sealing member 41 is connected to the second sealing member 42 and / or the third sealing member 43, the connection can be achieved by utilizing the viscosity of the adhesive, which is beneficial to improving the sealing performance of the connection.
[0139] In some specific embodiments, the adhesive may be a weak adhesive, that is, an adhesive with relatively weak viscosity, which can achieve sealing while reducing the difficulty of tearing and removing. For example, the weak adhesive may be butyl putty.
[0140] In the embodiment where the third sealing member 41 is an elastic sealing ring or adhesive, the second sealing member 42 and the first sealing member 41 may be of the same or different types, for example, both may be elastic sealing rings or both may be adhesives, for example, one may be an elastic sealing ring and the other two may be adhesives, etc.
[0141] In some specific embodiments, at least one of the first sealing member 41 and the second sealing member 42 may be adhesive, and the adhesive may be the same type as the adhesive of the third sealing member 43, such as butyl cement. Adhesives of the same type blend better with each other, improving the sealing of the joint and facilitating improved sealing of the battery assembly 22 after assembly and disassembly.
[0142] In some embodiments, the third sealing member 43 is an elastic sealing ring that is press-fitted with the battery assembly 22 and the upper vehicle body 10 .
[0143] An elastic sealing ring is a sealing ring capable of elastic deformation and can be made of, for example, rubber or silicone. The pressure generated by the battery assembly 22 and the upper vehicle body 10 compresses the elastic sealing ring, thereby improving the sealing effect. Furthermore, when the battery assembly 22 needs to be removed, the compressive force on the elastic sealing ring can be released by releasing the fixing structure of the battery assembly 22, allowing the elastic sealing ring to separate from the battery assembly 22 and the upper vehicle body 10, making it easier to remove and assemble the battery assembly 22.
[0144] In some embodiments, a portion of the battery assembly 22 is detachably connected to the upper vehicle body 10 in the left-right direction.
[0145] The “left-right direction” refers to the width direction of the vehicle 1000 , that is, the Y direction.
[0146] Since the upper body 10 and the lower body 20 are usually distributed in the up and down direction, that is, the height direction Z of the vehicle 1000, that is, the upper body 10 and the battery assembly 22 are distributed in the up and down direction, therefore, by setting a part of the battery assembly 22 to be detachably connected to the upper body 10 in the left and right direction Y, when loading and unloading the battery assembly 22, the battery assembly 22 and the upper body 10 can be disassembled in the left and right direction Y to avoid the upper body 10 obstructing the loading and unloading process, and since the front cabin assembly 21 and the rear cabin assembly 22 are distributed on the front and rear sides of the battery assembly 22, the disassembly of the battery assembly 22 from the upper body 10 in the left and right direction Y can also avoid the disassembly process from interfering with the front cabin assembly 21 or the rear cabin assembly 23, so as to reduce the difficulty of loading and unloading the battery assembly 22.
[0147] In some embodiments, in the left-right direction, a portion of the battery assembly 22 is detachably connected to the front compartment assembly 21 , and a portion of the battery assembly 22 is detachably connected to the rear compartment assembly 23 .
[0148] The “left-right direction” refers to the width direction of the vehicle 1000 , that is, the Y direction.
