Moreover, the difficulty in assembling the first connection hose 3 and the second connection hose 4 can be reduced, the assembly efficiency can be improved, and the qualification rate of the battery box 100 can be improved. In addition, the first connecting hose 3 and the second connecting hose 4 can deform themselves, so that manufacturing tolerances and assembly tolerances in the manufacturing process of the liquid cooling plate 2, the liquid inlet 111 and the liquid outlet 112 can be effectively absorbed. It is understood that the specific structures and working principles of the first and second quick connectors 5 and 6 are well known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described herein.
Further, referring to fig. 3 and 4, the first quick connector 5 and the second quick connector 6 each include a male connector and a female connector which are detachably connected, the liquid inlet 111 and the liquid outlet 112 are respectively provided with a liquid pipe 12, one end of the liquid pipe 12 has a rectangular cross section and is located in the accommodating chamber, the other end of the liquid pipe 12 extends out of the accommodating chamber, one of the male connector and the female connector is provided on a side surface or a bottom surface of the one end of the liquid pipe 12, and the other of the male connector and the female connector is provided on one end of the first connection hose 3 and the second connection hose 4 to be engaged with the one of the male connector and the female connector on the liquid pipe 12.
For example, in the example of fig. 3 and 4, the side of the end of the liquid pipe 12 located in the receiving chamber may be provided with one of a male connector and a female connector, and the cross-sectional shape of the end is rectangular, thereby facilitating the assembly of the male connector or the female connector. When the side surface of the one end of the liquid pipe 12 is provided with a male connector, one end of the first connecting hose 3 and the second connecting hose 4 connected with the liquid pipe 12 is provided with a female connector; when the female connector is provided on the side of the one end of the liquid pipe 12, the male connector is provided on the end of the first and second connection hoses 3 and 4 connected to the liquid pipe 12. Therefore, through the matching of the female connector and the male connector, and the male connector or the female connector is connected with one ends of the first connecting hose 3 and the second connecting hose 4, quick assembly can be realized, and the problem of liquid leakage of the first quick connector 5 and the second quick connector 6 caused by vibration can be further effectively solved due to good sealing performance of the first connecting hose 3 and the second connecting hose 4.
In some alternative embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the other end of the liquid tube 12 is circular. As shown in fig. 4, the cross-sectional shape of the end of the liquid tube 12 remote from the center of the receiving chamber is circular. So as to facilitate connection of the liquid pipe 12 with components outside the battery case 100.
In some alternative embodiments, referring to fig. 3 and 6, when the side of the one end of the liquid pipe 12 is provided with one of the male connector and the female connector, the liquid inlet 111 and the liquid cooling plate inlet 21 are disposed offset in the height direction of the tray 1, and the liquid outlet 112 and the liquid cooling plate outlet 22 are disposed offset in the height direction of the tray 1. For example, in the examples of fig. 3 and 6, the liquid inlet 111 and the liquid-cooling plate inlet 21 are disposed non-directly in the up-down direction, and the liquid outlet 112 and the liquid-cooling plate outlet 22 are disposed non-directly in the up-down direction. Thereby, the height of the tray side rail 11 can be reduced, thereby reducing the height of the battery box 100, facilitating the miniaturization design of the battery box 100, and simultaneously facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the first connection hose 3 and the second connection hose 4.
In some alternative embodiments, as shown in fig. 3 and 6, the distance between the inlet 111 and the outlet 112 is greater than the distance between the liquid cooling plate inlet 21 and the liquid cooling plate outlet 22. In other words, the liquid cooling plate inlet 21 and the liquid cooling plate outlet 22 are located between the liquid inlet 111 and the liquid outlet 112, so that the overall structure of the battery box 100 can be more compact, and the liquid in the liquid cooling plate 2 can be effectively ensured to flow near the middle of the electric core 201, so that the heat energy transfer of the liquid in the liquid cooling plate 2 is accelerated, and the heating and cooling effects of the battery pack 200 are improved.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to fig. 6, the liquid-cooling plate inlet 21 and the liquid-cooling plate outlet 22 are respectively provided with a liquid-cooling plate pipe section 23, the liquid-cooling plate pipe sections 23 of the liquid-cooling plate inlet 21 and the liquid-cooling plate outlet 22 are each provided on the upper surface of the liquid-cooling plate 2, the liquid-cooling plate pipe sections 23 include one of a male joint and a female joint, and the other ends of the first connection hose 3 and the second connection hose 4 are provided with the other one of the male joint and the female joint. Therefore, by arranging the liquid-cooling plate pipe section 23, the first connecting hose 3 and the second connecting hose 4 can be more conveniently connected with the liquid-cooling plate inlet 21 and the liquid-cooling plate outlet 22 through the corresponding liquid-cooling plate pipe section 23, and the tightness of connection is ensured.
For example, in the process of assembling the battery pack 200, the plurality of electric cells 201 may be assembled on the liquid cooling plate 2, then the electrode terminals of the plurality of electric cells 5201 are welded with the connecting pieces by laser to realize the electrical connection between the electrode terminals of the plurality of electric cells 201, and then the liquid cooling plate 2 is connected with the tray 1 through the first quick connector 5 of the first connecting hose 3 and the second quick connector 6 of the second connecting hose 4, so that the detachable assembly of the tray 1 and the liquid cooling plate 2 is realized. Therefore, compared with the traditional mode that the liquid inlet pipe and the liquid outlet pipe of the tray 1 are welded on the tray boundary beam 11, the connection mode of the first quick connector 5 and the second quick connector 6 avoids the spattering of welding slag when the liquid inlet 111 and the liquid outlet 112 are welded with the tray boundary beam 11, reduces the pollution to the battery cell 201 in the accommodating cavity, simultaneously, not only meets the sealing requirement of the liquid inlet 111 and the liquid outlet 112 and the tray 1, but also avoids the limitation brought by the later procedure of the early intervention assembly procedure of the tray 1 or the liquid cooling plate 2. It is understood that the tray 1 and the liquid cooling plate 2 may select an optimal assembly process according to the actual assembly requirement of the battery pack 200.
According to other embodiments of the present invention, two ends of the first connecting hose 3 may be screwed to the liquid cooling plate inlet 21 and the liquid inlet 111, respectively, and two ends of the second connecting hose 4 may be screwed to the liquid cooling plate outlet 22 and the liquid outlet 112, respectively. So set up, can realize the detachable assembly of tray 1 and liquid cooling board 2 equally, reduce the installation degree of difficulty of tray 1 and liquid cooling board 2, and simple structure, the processing of being convenient for, it is with low costs.

By means of the arrangement, the fool-proof effect on the first connecting hose 3 and the second connecting hose 4 can be effectively achieved, and the situation that the first connecting hose 3 and the second connecting hose 4 are assembled incorrectly is avoided.
Alternatively, the first connection hose 3 and the second connection hose 4 are both plastic hoses. The plastic hose has the characteristics of good flexibility, strong corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance and the like, and can deform, so that the plastic hose can effectively absorb manufacturing tolerance and assembly tolerance in the manufacturing process of the liquid cooling plate 2 and the liquid inlet 111 and the liquid outlet 112 of the tray 1.
