The end plate 24 provided in the present embodiment is advantageous in that the end plate 24 and the second support 22 cooperate with each other to better inhibit the lateral expansion of the battery cell 10 caused by heat, and reduce the deformation of the second support 22 caused by the lateral expansion of the battery cell 10.
In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, the following brief description is made on the assembly process of the battery module 100 having more than two first brackets 21 provided in the embodiment of the present application:
s10, the first supports 21 are sequentially arranged in a row to form a first support group A in a mode that the spacer bars are opposite, the two second supports 22 are respectively arranged at the two tail ends of the first support group A, and the two end plates 24 are respectively positioned and assembled on the surfaces of the two second supports 22.
S11, the two adjacent first supports 21 or the first support 21 and the second support 22 at the tail end of the first support group A enclose to form an installation chamber B1, and the battery cell 10 is accommodated in the installation chamber B1.
And S12, clamping and fixing the top frame 23 and the end plate 24 through a clamping structure.
S13, the first belt groove 2115 of each first top transverse plate 2111, the second belt groove 2224 of the second top transverse plate 2221 and the third belt groove 242 at the top end of the end plate 24 are connected to form a top belt groove at the top end of the battery module 100; the first strap grooves 2115 of the first bottom cross plate 2112, the second strap grooves 2224 of the second bottom cross plate 2222, and the third strap grooves 242 at the bottom end of the end plate 24 are connected to form bottom strap grooves at the bottom end of the battery module 100. As shown in fig. 1a and 2, the top and bottom grooves are fastened by the binding bands 25, respectively, to tighten the top and bottom ends of the battery module 100, thereby securing the overall assembly strength of the battery module 100.
In the embodiment of the present application, the binding band 25 may be made of a steel band made of 65Mn steel. The thickness of the steel strip is 1mm, the tensile strength is more than or equal to 900MPa, the yield strength is more than or equal to 800MPa, the steel strip adopts a lapping process, and the lapping strength is not less than 70% of the material strength.
As will be understood by those skilled in the art, in the cell holder 20 composed of one first holder 21, two second holders 22 are respectively disposed at two sides of the first holder 21 (i.e., two sides of the central plane S), so that two mounting chambers B1 for accommodating the cells 10 can be defined at two sides of the first holder 21. The specific assembly process can refer to the above-mentioned embodiment with more than two first brackets 21, and for brevity, the description will not be described in detail.
One of the advantages of the battery module 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application is that, after the battery cell 10 is accommodated in the mounting cavity B1 of the battery cell support 20, for each first support 21, both sides of the first support 21 demarcated by the spacer bar accommodate the battery cell 10. Due to the pretightening force of the binding band 25, the two adjacent battery cells 10 are close to each other in the direction of the spacer bars and tightly attached to the side surfaces of the first spacer bar 213 and the second spacer bar 214, so that an air duct communicated with the air opening 2114 can be enclosed by the two adjacent battery cells 10 on the first bracket 21, the air opening 2114 formed in the first side plate 211 on both sides can be dissipated by heat generated by the battery cells 10 in the working process through the air duct, or air flow for heat dissipation can flow into the air duct from the air opening 2114 of one of the first side plates 211 and then flow out from the air opening 2114 of the other first side plate 211 together with the heat generated by the battery cells 10, thereby greatly improving the heat dissipation capability of the battery module 100.
Another advantage is that, since the width D3 of the third spacer bar 215 is designed to be smaller than the widths (D1, D2) of the first spacer bar 213 or the second spacer bar 214, as shown in fig. 3c, that is, a preset single-sided distance D4 exists between two side surfaces of the third spacer bar 215 and two side surfaces of the first spacer bar 213 or the second spacer bar 214, in this embodiment, the preset single-sided distance D4 may be set to be 1.5mm, that is, a single side is allowed to have only 1.5mm of lateral expansion at most after the battery cell 10 is heated, thereby preventing the lateral expansion of the battery cell 10 from exceeding the allowable value and ensuring stable operation of the battery cell 10.
The foregoing is a further detailed description of the invention in connection with specific/preferred embodiments and is not intended to limit the practice of the invention to these descriptions. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made therein without departing from the spirit of the invention, and these are within the scope of the invention.
