Combined battery rack structure

The present invention relates to a combined battery rack structure, in particular to a battery rack capable of arbitrarily combining different apertures, to achieve a combined battery rack structure in which batteries of different sizes are inserted and fixed in a battery rack.

In recent years, the development of technology has led to the increasing use of portable mobile devices, the diversification of battery applications, small, such as notebook computers, workstations or communication equipment, large-scale electric vehicles such as recently developed ( EV), hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), etc., and because of the different load demand power and electrical requirements, most of them are combined in series and parallel with a plurality of batteries to provide the required rated voltage and current.

In order to supply the demand for special electrical and the goal of pursuing environmental protection, many current manufacturers will electrically connect a plurality of battery cells in series and in parallel to form a battery module. However, at present, the structure of combining a plurality of battery racks is mostly focused on how to connect and fix a plurality of battery racks. For example, a hexagonal battery rack is clamped and fixed with outer edge bumps and recesses, or is designed to have other shapes. A number of battery racks, and the use of a piece of equipment to combine adjacent battery racks, such a combined battery rack has been a considerable number of products. However, the conventional combined battery rack design even if several battery racks are connected in series to accommodate more batteries as the required power, but the aperture of the battery rack is only suitable for a single size battery, and has been developed for the evolution of technology. Different sizes of batteries, in order to respond to the required greater power capacity, so to assemble the matching battery size, the traditional inherent battery rack has been used in the field, and must be re-opened to produce a battery rack that can match different battery sizes. The hole diameter of the hole is accommodated, and even the entire battery frame needs to be redesigned, so the manufacturing cost is not only improved, but also the application is very limited. Therefore, how to create the required functional requirements in response to the assembly of various battery sizes and at a minimum production cost is an urgent problem to be solved.

In view of this, the present invention proposes a combined battery rack structure to effectively overcome the above problems in view of the above-mentioned lack of prior art.

The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a combined battery rack structure, which utilizes a battery rack with a maximum aperture to combine other battery racks with a hole size that can be matched with a battery size, and can respond to various sizes of batteries, thereby effectively saving the battery rack. The cost of mold opening is more convenient to use.

The secondary purpose of the present invention is to provide a combined battery rack structure capable of assembling a plurality of battery racks in series and having a cable management function, so that the assembled lines can be neatly arranged on the battery rack to avoid cluttering of the lines. Problems such as signal transmission and inconvenience of assembly in the battery holder.

To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a combined battery rack structure including at least one first frame and at least one second frame. The first frame has a plurality of first receiving holes and at least one first engaging member, each of the receiving holes is for inserting a battery, and the first engaging member is located at one end of the first frame. The second frame has a plurality of second receiving holes and at least one second engaging member, and the second engaging member is correspondingly engaged and fixed to the first engaging member, so that the first frame is serially fixed to the second frame. The second accommodating holes correspond to the first accommodating hole positions, and the apertures of the second accommodating holes are different from the first accommodating holes, and the apertures of the second accommodating holes are matching batteries The size is such that the battery can be inserted into each of the first accommodating holes and each of the second accommodating holes.

The details of the creation, the technical content, the features and the effects achieved by the present invention are more easily explained by the detailed description of the specific embodiments.

Since it is conventionally connected by a plurality of battery racks, a plurality of batteries are electrically connected in series and in parallel to form a battery module. However, the aperture of the battery rack is currently only applicable to a single size battery. It is not possible to meet the assembly application requirements of batteries of different sizes. To assemble the matched battery size, it is necessary to re-mold the battery holder that can match different battery sizes, so the manufacturing cost is not only improved, but also the application is very limited. To this end, after years of research and development, the inventors have used special combined battery frame structure design products to improve the defects of existing products, and will follow in detail how the creation can be applied with a novel combined battery frame structure. Flexible functional appeal.
