The edge of the floor panel 300 is provided with a receiving portion corresponding to the position of the fastener 400, the receiving portion receiving the fastener 400 to prevent the floor panel 300 from interfering with the fastener 400. It should be noted that the fastener 400 is only used for connecting the bottom plate 100 and the frame 200, and the fastener 400 is not connected to the bottom cover plate 300, and the bottom cover plate 300 is disposed on the bottom plate 100 by other structures or manners. Through the above structural design, the battery pack case provided by the present application can optimize the sealing property between the bottom protection plate 300 and the bottom plate 100.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 1 to 3, in the present embodiment, the receiving portion may be a convex hull 310, and the convex hull 310 protrudes away from the fastener 400, so that a side of the convex hull 310 facing the fastener 400 forms a groove 311, and the groove 311 receives the fastener 400. Through the above structural design, the present application can utilize the convex hull 310 to enhance the structural strength of the edge of the apron bottom 300 while utilizing the concave slot 311 to accommodate the fastener 400 to avoid the interference between the apron bottom 300 and the fastener 400. In addition, this application can utilize convex closure 310 to provide protect function for fastener 400, avoids fastener 400 to collide with the damage, further optimizes the reliability of battery package box, increase of service life.
Further, as shown in fig. 1 to 3, based on the structural design of the convex hull 310 for the accommodating portion, in the present embodiment, one side of the convex hull 310 may be opened at the edge of the bottom protection plate 300, so that the groove 311 is communicated with the outside. Through above-mentioned structural design, this application can utilize the opening of recess 311 will probably get into the water discharge in recess 311, further optimizes the leakproofness of battery package box.
Further, based on the structural design that the receiving portion is the convex hull 310, in the present embodiment, the convex hull 310 may be formed by stamping the bottom guard plate 300. Therefore, the structural strength of the edge of the bottom guard plate 300 can be further improved, the manufacturing process of the bottom guard plate 300 can be simplified, and the production efficiency is improved. In some embodiments, the bottom protective plate 300 may also be provided with the convex hull 310 by other processes, such as casting, integral molding, welding, etc., but not limited thereto.
Further, based on the structural design that the receiving portion is the convex hull 310, in the present embodiment, the surface of the bottom protection plate 300 contacting the bottom plate 100 is defined as a sealing surface, and the distance between the top of the convex hull 310 and the sealing surface, i.e., the groove depth of the concave groove 311, may be approximately 2mm to 4mm, for example, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 4mm, and the like. Through above-mentioned structural design, this application can make ponding discharge from the opening of convex closure 310 fast completely, reduces the risk that backplate 300 intakes. In some embodiments, the distance between the top of the convex hull 310 and the sealing surface may also be less than 2mm, or may be greater than 4mm, such as 1.5mm, 5mm, etc., and may be adjusted according to the height of the portion of the fastening member 400 exposed to the base plate 100, which is not limited thereto.
It should be noted that, in various possible embodiments according to the design concept of the battery pack case proposed in the present application, the receiving portion of the bottom cover 300 may also adopt other structures.
For example, referring to fig. 4 and 5, fig. 4 representatively illustrates a partially enlarged schematic view of a battery pack case in another exemplary embodiment, with specific display angles and portions generally corresponding to portion a in fig. 1; fig. 5 representatively illustrates a partial sectional view of the battery pack case shown in fig. 4.
As shown in fig. 4 and 5, in some embodiments, the receiving portion may be a notch 320, the notch 320 penetrates the backplate 300 along the thickness direction of the backplate 300, and the notch 320 is opened at the edge of the backplate 300, and the notch 320 receives the fastener 400.
For another example, referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 representatively illustrates a partially enlarged schematic view of a battery pack case in another exemplary embodiment, wherein the specific display angles and positions thereof generally correspond to portion a in fig. 1.
As shown in fig. 6, in some embodiments, the receiving portion may be a through hole 330, the through hole 330 penetrating the backplate 300 in a thickness direction of the backplate 300, the through hole 330 receiving the fastener 400.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, in the present embodiment, the edge of the bottom plate 300 is connected to the bottom plate 100 by a connector 500. On this basis, the receiving portion of the bottom guard plate 300 may be staggered with the connecting member 500, thereby saving the space required for arranging the connecting member 500 and the fastening member 400 and improving the space utilization. It should be noted that the specific arrangement of the receiving portion and the connecting member 500, which is called "staggered arrangement", can be flexibly adjusted according to the number and arrangement of the connecting members 500 and the number and arrangement of the fastening members 400. For example, to accommodate different designs of connectors 500 and fasteners 400, the receiving portions and the connectors 500 may be staggered one by one, i.e., one connector 500 is disposed between two adjacent receiving portions and one receiving portion is disposed between two adjacent connectors 500. Of course, the receiving portions and the connecting members 500 may be arranged in other staggered manners, that is, all other arrangements except "all receiving portions are arranged together and all the connecting members 500 are arranged together" may be understood as the staggered manner, taking the substantially straight direction of the connecting members 500 and the receiving portions along the edge of the bottom protection plate 300 as an example.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 3, in the present embodiment, a gasket 600 may be disposed between the backplate 300 and the bottom plate 100. Specifically, the gasket 600 is located on the opposite inner side of the edge of the backplate 300, i.e., on the opposite inner side of the fastener 400 (i.e., the receiving portion). Accordingly, because the bottom guard plate 300 and the bottom are approximately in a single-side fixed constraint mode relative to the sealing gasket 600, the convex hull 310 can be used for enhancing the rigidity of the sealing surface of the bottom guard plate 300, the compression amount in the single-side compression process is improved, the uniform compression of the sealing gasket 600 is ensured, and the deformation tendency of the bottom guard plate 300 caused by the rebound of the sealing gasket 600 can be effectively resisted. In addition, the lowest position of the convex hull 310 can be used for ensuring that water blocked outside by the sealing gasket 600 can be discharged smoothly, and the accumulated water of the bottom protection plate 300 after the vehicle wades is avoided.
As shown in fig. 3, based on the structural design of the sealing gasket 600 disposed between the bottom protective plate 300 and the bottom plate 100, in the present embodiment, when the accommodating portion of the bottom protective plate 300 is the convex hull 310, the bottom protective plate 300 is substantially a two-layer step structure with respect to the sealing surface (for example, the portion where the edge of the bottom protective plate 300 is connected to the bottom plate 100 by the connecting member 500) where the bottom protective plate 300 contacts the bottom plate 100, wherein the step height of one layer of the step structure is mainly controlled by the sealing rigidity after the sealing gasket 600 is compressed, and wherein the step height of the other layer of the step structure is formed by the arrangement of the convex hull 310 and is mainly controlled by the distance between the top of the convex hull 310 and the sealing surface, for example, the step height may be substantially 2mm to 4 mm.
Based on the structural design of the sealing gasket 600 disposed between the bottom protection plate 300 and the bottom plate 100, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, in some embodiments, when the accommodating portion of the bottom protection plate 300 is the notch 320, the bottom protection plate 300 may be provided with a drainage hole 340, and the drainage hole 340 is located between the accommodating portion and the sealing gasket 600. Through above-mentioned structural design, this application can prevent that water from 320 departments of breach from getting into between backplate 300 and the bottom plate 100 at the bottom, prevents that water accumulation from having sealed the space of establishing that 600, backplate 300, bottom plate 100 enclose, and through-hole 330 can play the effect of drainage. In some embodiments, when the accommodating portion of the bottom protective plate 300 is other structures such as the convex hull 310 and the through hole 330, the bottom protective plate 300 may also be provided with the water drainage hole 340, which is not limited thereto.
Alternatively, in the present embodiment, the base plate 100 may include a heat exchange plate.
