Of course, the top plate 120, the first frame 140, the bottom plate 130 and the second frame 150 may be separately formed and then connected. As for the indirect connection, for example, the connection may be made through a connection plate, and the present application is not particularly limited thereto.
In one embodiment, the top plate 120, the first rim 140, the bottom plate 130, the second rim 150 and the structural beam 200 are integrally formed, for example, by extrusion molding of an integral aluminum profile.

In the present application, the third direction Z is preferably perpendicular to the first direction X and the second direction Y, and in other embodiments, the third direction Z intersects the first direction X and the second direction Y, but the intersecting angle may not be equal to 90 °.
In a further embodiment, the first direction X is a height direction of the box 100, the second direction Y is a length direction of the box 100, and the third direction Z is a width direction of the box 100; alternatively, the second direction Y is a width direction of the casing 100, and the third direction Z is a length direction of the casing 100.
When the width direction of the box 100 is consistent with the width direction of the vehicle body and the length direction of the box 100 is consistent with the length direction of the vehicle body, the second direction Y is the width direction of the box 100, and the third direction Z is the length direction of the box 100; when the width direction of the box 100 coincides with the length direction of the vehicle body and the length direction of the box 100 coincides with the width direction of the vehicle body, the second direction Y is the length direction of the box 100, and the third direction Z is the width direction of the box 100.

In a further embodiment, at least one of the first frame 140 and the second frame 150 has a cavity, and a reinforcing plate 141 is disposed in the cavity, wherein the reinforcing plate 141 divides the cavity into a plurality of sub-cavities. The reinforcing plate 141 can improve the structural strength of the first frame 140 and the second frame 150, and since the first frame 140 and the second frame 150 are disposed to face each other in the second direction Y, which is the width direction of the vehicle body, and the width direction of a general vehicle body is likely to collide, the reinforcing plate 141 is provided in the first frame 140 and the second frame 150 to improve the structural strength, thereby preventing the case 100 from being damaged when the vehicle collides.
In a further embodiment, the first frame 140 and the second frame 150 are provided with mounting portions 110, and the mounting portions 110 are used for being connected and fixed with an external load.
The first frame 140 and the second frame 150 on both sides of the case 100 are provided with the mounting portions 110, so that the battery pack is mounted and fixed on the entire vehicle. Wherein the number of the mounting portions 100 may be set according to actual circumstances. In other embodiments, the mounting portion 110 may be disposed in other locations, such as on the top plate 120 or the bottom plate 130.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the mounting portion 110 is a mounting hole 111 disposed on the first frame 140 and the second frame 150. The mounting holes 111 are used for fasteners (e.g., bolts or rivets) to be inserted therethrough to couple and fix the battery pack 10 to an external load.
Specifically, the mounting holes 111 provided in the first bezel 140 penetrate the first bezel 140 in the first direction, and the mounting holes 111 provided in the second bezel 150 penetrate the second bezel 150 in the first direction. However, the axial direction of the mounting hole 111 may also be arranged at an angle to the first direction, for example 5 ° or 10 °.
Further, a plurality of mounting holes 111 are provided, and the mounting holes 111 provided in the first frame 140 are sequentially arranged along the length direction of the first frame 140. The length direction of the first frame 140 is parallel to the second direction.
Similarly, the mounting holes 111 disposed on the second frame 150 are sequentially arranged along the length direction of the second frame 150. The length direction of the second frame 150 is parallel to the second direction.
Of course, in another embodiment, the mounting portion 110 is a hanging ring disposed on the first and second rims 140 and 150. The hanging ring is fixedly connected with the vehicle body so as to connect and fix the battery pack 10 to an external load.
However, in another embodiment, the mounting portion 110 is a mounting block disposed on the first and second rims 140 and 150, and the mounting block may be fixed to the vehicle body by welding. Of course, the mounting block may also be fixed to the external load by gluing or snapping.
In an embodiment, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, a first opening 180 is formed at an end of the box 100 along a third direction; the battery pack 10 also includes an end plate 112 that closes the first opening 180. It can be understood that the pole core string 401 can be installed in the accommodating cavity 300 through the first opening 180, which is convenient for operation and ensures high structural strength of the case 100.
Further, both ends of the box 100 along the third direction are provided with first openings 180; the end plate 112 includes a third frame 160 and a fourth frame 170, and the third frame 160 and the fourth frame 170 are hermetically connected to the box body 100 to close the corresponding first openings 180. That is, the third frame 160 and the fourth frame 170 are distributed at both ends of the case 100 along the third direction, the third frame 160 is hermetically connected with the case 100 to close the first opening 180 disposed adjacent to the third frame 160, and the fourth frame 170 is hermetically connected with the case 100 to close the first opening 180 disposed adjacent to the fourth frame 170. It can be understood that when the first openings 180 are disposed at both ends of the case 100 along the third direction, the first electrode and the second electrode (i.e., the positive electrode and the negative electrode) of the pole core string 401 located in the accommodating chamber 300 can be respectively led out from the two first openings 180.
In some embodiments, the case 100 and the third and fourth rims 160 and 170 are made of metal and are hermetically connected by welding.
However, in other embodiments, the case 100, the third frame 160 and the fourth frame 170 may be made of plastic. Furthermore, the third frame 160 and the fourth frame 170 may be hermetically connected to the case 100 by gluing, clamping, or the like.
In some embodiments, the third frame 160 and the fourth frame 170 may be hollow like the first frame 140 and the second frame 150, and a reinforcing plate is disposed in the hollow, and the reinforcing plate divides the hollow of the third frame 160 and the fourth frame 170 into a plurality of sub-cavities. With such an arrangement, the third frame 160 and the fourth frame 170 can have certain strength, which is beneficial to improving the impact resistance and the extrusion resistance of the case 100 of the battery pack 10.
In an embodiment, the battery pack 10 further includes a sealing plate, wherein the end of the accommodating cavity 300 along the third direction is provided with a second opening, the sealing plate is located inside the end plate, and the sealing plate blocks a partial region of the second opening adjacent to the bottom plate, or the sealing plate completely blocks the second opening of the accommodating cavity.
In other words, the sealing plate is coupled to the structural beam 200 and the tank body 200 to close off a portion of the second opening adjacent to the bottom plate 130. That is, the half-blocking of the second opening is achieved by the sealing plate, so that when the sealing film 500 is accidentally broken, the electrolyte flows from one accommodating chamber 300 to the other accommodating chamber 300 to cause an internal short circuit, thereby improving the safety of the use of the battery pack 10.
The half-sealing of the second openings of the accommodating cavities 300 at two ends of the accommodating cavities 300 may be that the sealing plate is hermetically connected to the first frame 140, the bottom plate 130 and the structural beam 200, or the sealing plate is hermetically connected to the second frame 150, the bottom plate 130 and the structural beam 200, so as to seal a portion of the second opening of the accommodating cavity 300, which is adjacent to the bottom plate 130.
The half-sealing of the second openings of the remaining receiving cavities 300 of the plurality of receiving cavities 300 may be performed by sealing plates that are sealingly connected to the base plate 130 and two adjacent structural beams 200 to seal a portion of the second openings of the receiving cavities 300 adjacent to the base plate 130.

That is, the second opening of the receiving cavity 300 is completely closed by the sealing plate to further improve the safety of the use of the battery pack 10.
The second openings of the accommodating cavities 300 at two ends of the accommodating cavities 300 may be completely sealed by sealing plates, which are hermetically connected to the first frame 140, the structural beam 200, the top plate 120, and the bottom plate 130, or by sealing plates, which are hermetically connected to the second frame 150, the structural beam 200, the top plate 120, and the bottom plate 130, so as to completely seal the second openings of the accommodating cavities 300.
The complete sealing of the second openings of the remaining receiving cavities 300 in the plurality of receiving cavities 300 may be performed by sealing plates in sealing connection with the bottom plate 130, the top plate 120 and two adjacent structural beams 200 to completely seal the second openings of the receiving cavities 300.
The sealing plate is positioned on the inner side of the end plate, namely, the sealing plate is positioned on one side of the end plate close to the inner part of the battery pack.

Because, once the longer the pole core group 400 is, the length of the copper aluminum foil used as the current collector is increased correspondingly, the internal resistance is greatly improved, the current requirements of higher and higher power and quick charging cannot be met, and the problem can be avoided by adopting the serial connection mode of the plurality of pole core groups 400.
