Description

Steel battery pack shell of new energy automobile
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of new energy automobiles, and particularly relates to a steel battery pack shell of a new energy automobile and a manufacturing method thereof, which are used as supporting bodies of a BMS (battery management system), a battery module, a high-voltage charge-discharge circuit, a cooling system and the like in a battery pack.
Background
The battery pack shell (also called battery tray, battery box and the like) is used as a bearing body of a BMS, a battery module, a high-voltage charge-discharge circuit, a cooling system and the like in the battery pack, is an important structural member of the battery pack of the new energy automobile, and plays a key safety protection role on the bearing body. At present, the weight of an aluminum battery pack shell is generally lighter than that of a steel battery pack shell, and a new energy vehicle enterprise meets the specific energy requirement in the national patch policy, and even though the cost of the aluminum battery pack shell is higher, the material of the battery pack shell is mainly aluminum alloy. However, with the gradual application of ultra-high strength steel (ultra-high strength steel generally refers to steel types with tensile strength of 1500MPa or more, including martensitic steel, hot-formed steel, etc.), steel battery cases are expected to develop further.
In chinese patent 201910985769.6, although the frame beam (frame) of the battery pack case is made of ultra-high strength heat-formed steel, it is made of at least two profile members joined to each other in cross section, and such a combined frame beam is disadvantageous in terms of weight saving, cost and quality stability; meanwhile, the bearing main body of the battery pack shell is designed into a basin-shaped piece, so that the total wall thickness of the side wall of the battery pack shell is too large, and the weight reduction and the cost reduction of the battery pack shell are not facilitated.
In the chinese patent 201910323812.2, although the roll-formed frame beam (frame) of the battery pack case is integrated, it does not use ultra-high strength steel (if ultra-high strength steel is used, a single roll-forming process is also difficult to manufacture an integrated frame beam), which is not beneficial to the weight reduction of the battery pack case; meanwhile, the structure of the frame beam (frame) and the bottom of the battery pack shell are connected only through a cementing process, but the cementing process is low in strength and easy to age and fatigue, so that the connection mode of the frame beam (frame) and the bottom of the battery pack shell is low in safety, unfavorable for mass production and high in cost.
The existing battery pack shell is mainly made of aluminum alloy, but all cart enterprises have urgent weight and cost reduction demands on the battery pack shell, steel has cost advantages compared with aluminum, and the steel battery pack shell made of ultra-high strength steel is theoretically lighter than the aluminum battery pack shell, but no steel battery pack shell product or patent with good structure or process and ultra-high strength steel is available at present, and the blank needs to be filled.
Disclosure of Invention
