本申请涉及电池技术领域,特别是涉及一种电池的箱体、电池、用电装置、制备箱体的方法和装置。
背景技术
电池包的箱体是所有部件的载体,其结构强度及密封性能尤为重要。目前箱体包括的底板、梁和壁等部分采用搭接拼焊的方式制造。但箱体的壁与梁之间的焊缝处易形成应力集中,而焊缝强度较低,有失效风险,无法满足箱体强度需求。
发明内容
本申请提供了一种电池的箱体、电池、用电设备、制备箱体的方法和装置,能够提高箱体的强度。
第一方面,提供了一种电池的箱体,包括:多个壁,用于形成所述箱体的容纳空间,所述多个壁包括第一壁;第一梁,设置在所述容纳空间内,且所述第一梁与所述第一壁相交,所述第一梁的内部具有第一空腔;第一加强结构,至少部分所述第一加强结构容纳于所述第一空腔内,所述第一加强结构通过第一连接件和第二连接件分别与所述第一梁和所述第一壁固定,以使所述第一壁与所述第一梁连接固定。
因此,本申请实施例的电池的箱体,通过将第一加强结构至少部分容纳在第一梁的空腔内,以固定第一梁与第一壁,可以在不占用箱体内部空间或占用极小空间的情况下,极大的增加第一梁与第一壁之间的刚度和强度,能够解决在采用焊接方式固定第一梁与第一壁时,由于焊缝强度低而导致的受膨胀力易失效的问题。
在一些实施例中,所述第一梁包括两个外侧壁和连接所述两个外侧壁的第一连接壁,所述两个外侧壁和所述第一连接壁形成多个所述第一空腔。
应理解,本申请实施例中的第一梁的内部可以包括一个或者多个第一空腔,并且在包括多个第一空腔时,该多个第一空腔的形状以及尺寸等均可以根据实际应用进行设置,例如,该多个第一空腔的尺寸可以各不相同;再例如,该多个第一空腔的形状可以相同,以便于加工。
在一些实施例中,所述第一加强结构包括多个加强块,所述多个加强块中每个加强块容纳于多个所述第一空腔中对应的一个第一空腔内。
本申请实施例中的一个第一空腔内可以容纳一个或者多个加强块,若一个空腔内仅容纳一个加强块,那么容纳的加强块的尺寸和形状与对应的第一空腔保持一致,以便于加工和安装。
在一些实施例中,所述第一连接件包括沿第一方向排列的多个紧固件,所述第一方向为所述第一梁的长度方向。
在一些实施例中,所述第一加强结构包括多个加强块,所述第一连接件包括紧固件,所述紧固件包括连接部和头部,所述紧固件的连接部沿第二方向贯穿所述多个加强块中的至少一个加强块,所述第二方向为所述第一梁的高度方向。
为了保证紧固件、第一加强结构以及第一梁之间的强度,每个紧固件沿第二方向上的长度通常设置为占第一加强结构沿该第二方向上的高度的一半以上。
在一些实施例中,所述第一梁的外顶壁上设置有凹部,所述紧固件的头部位于所述凹部内,以使所述紧固件的头部在所述第一梁的高度方向上不超过所述第一梁的最大高度。
紧固件的头部的高度不超过第一梁的最大高度,可以不影响该箱体内各个部件的安装。例如,若该箱体包括主体部和盖部,主体部为中空且一端开口的长方体,而该盖部为板状,以盖合该主体部的开口,那么将紧固件的头部设置在凹部内,不超过第一梁的最大高度,则不会影响该盖部的安装,保证该盖部可以与主体部的封闭。
在一些实施例中,所述箱体还包括第二加强结构,所述第二加强结构包括相连的第一部分和第二部分,所述第一部分固定于所述第一壁的朝向所述第一梁的表面,所述第二部分固定于所述第一梁的外顶壁,且所述紧固件贯穿所述第二部分。
该第二加强结构同时紧贴第一梁和第一壁,能够尽量避免第一梁沿高度方向向上翘起。并且,紧固件的头部设置在该第二加强结构上,能够有效避免紧固件与第一梁之间的应力集中的问题,提高稳定性。

应理解,以上描述的电池的箱体中的各个部件不应理解为对本申请实施例的限定,也就是说,本申请实施例的用于电池的箱体可以包括上述的部件,也可以不包括上述的部件。
本申请实施例描述的技术方案均适用于各种使用电池的装置,例如,手机、便携式设备、笔记本电脑、电瓶车、电动玩具、电动工具、车辆、船舶和航天器等,例如,航天器包括飞机、火箭、航天飞机和宇宙飞船等。
应理解,本申请实施例描述的技术方案不仅仅局限适用于上述所描述的设备,还可以适用于所有使用电池的设备,但为描述简洁,下述实施例均以车辆为例进行说明。
例如,如图1所示,为本申请一个实施例的一种车辆1的结构示意图,车辆1可以为燃油汽车、燃气汽车或新能源汽车,新能源汽车可以是纯电动汽车、混合动力汽车或增程式汽车等。车辆1的内部可以设置马达40,控制器30以及电池10,控制器30用来控制电池10为马达40的供电。例如,在车辆1的底部或车头或车尾可 以设置电池10。电池10可以用于车辆1的供电,例如,电池10可以作为车辆1的操作电源,用于车辆1的电路系统,例如,用于车辆1的启动、导航和运行时的工作用电需求。在本申请的另一实施例中,电池10不仅仅可以作为车辆1的操作电源,还可以作为车辆1的驱动电源,替代或部分地替代燃油或天然气为车辆1提供驱动动力。
为了满足不同的使用电力需求,电池10可以包括多个电池单体。例如,图2为本申请一个实施例的一种电池10的分解结构示意图,电池10可以包括多个电池单体20。根据不同的电力需求,电池单体20的数量可以设置为任意数值。多个电池单体20可通过串联、并联或混联的方式连接以实现较大的容量或功率。由于每个电池10中包括的电池单体20的数量可能较多,为了便于安装,可以将电池单体20分组设置,每组电池单体20组成电池模块。电池模块中包括的电池单体20的数量不限,可以根据需求设置。电池可以包括多个电池模块,这些电池模块可通过串联、并联或混联的方式进行连接。
可选地,电池10还可以包括其他结构。例如,该电池10还可以包括汇流部件,汇流部件用于实现多个电池单体20之间的电连接,例如并联或串联或混联。具体地,汇流部件可通过连接电池单体20的电极端子实现电池单体20之间的电连接。进一步地,汇流部件可通过焊接固定于电池单体20的电极端子。多个电池单体20的电能可进一步通过导电机构穿过箱体而引出。可选地,导电机构也可属于汇流部件。
电池10还可以包括箱体11(或称罩体),箱体11内部为中空结构,多个电池单体20容纳于箱体11内。如图2所示,箱体11可以包括两部分,这里分别称为盖部111和主体部112(或者也可以称为上箱体和下箱体),盖部111和主体部112扣合在一起。盖部111和主体部112的形状可以根据多个电池单体20组合的形状而定,盖部111和主体部112中至少一个部件具有一个开口。例如,箱体11包括的盖部111和主体部112中可以仅有一个为具有开口的中空长方体,而另一个为板状,以盖合开口。例如,如图2所示,这里以主体部112为中空长方体且只有一个面为开口面,盖部111为板状为例,盖部111盖合在主体部112的开口处以形成具有封闭腔室的箱体11,该腔室可以用于容纳多个电池单体20。
可选地,本申请实施例中的箱体11包括的盖部111和主体部112还可以具有其他形状,例如,盖部111和主体部112均可以为中空长方体且各自只有一个面为开口面,盖部111的开口和主体部112的开口相对设置,并且盖部111和主体部112相互扣合形成具有封闭腔室的箱体11。多个电池单体20相互并联或串联或混联组合后置于盖部111和主体部112扣合后形成的箱体内。
为了便于说明,下文主要以图2所示的箱体11为例进行说明,但本申请实施例并不限于此。
图3示出了图2中主体部112与电池20的安装图,如图3所示,由于箱体11的主体部112是内部各个部件的载体,其结构强度及密封性能尤为重要。目前箱体11包括的底板和壁等部分之间采用搭接拼焊的方式制造。但各个壁之间的或者壁与位于内部的梁之间的焊缝处易形成应力集中,而焊缝强度较低,有失效风险,无法满足箱体11强度需求。如果通过在箱体11内增加加强支架来增加箱体11的壁和梁之间的 强度,该加强支架需要占用箱体11内部空间,进而导致该箱体11的内部空间利用率低,影响电池单体20的安装。
因此,本申请实施例提供了一种电池的箱体,能够解决上述问题。
图4示出了本申请实施例的箱体11的主体部112的示意图,图5为图4所示的主体部112中区域A的爆炸图。本申请实施例中的主体部112可以包括具有一定厚度的多个壁,以形成该主体部112的中空结构。例如,图4中的主体部112包括四个侧壁和一个底壁,形成了中空的长方体。为了便于说明,下文中以主体部112包括的第一壁210为例进行说明,该第一壁210可以为主体部112的任意一个壁,例如,如图4所示,该第一壁210可以为主体部112的任一侧壁,但是本申请实施例并不限于此。
在该主体部112的内部还设置有至少一个梁,每个梁与主体部112的一个或者多个壁相连。例如,可以根据主体部112中承载的电池单体20的个数确定梁的个数,若电池单体20个数较多,可以设置多个梁以保证箱体11的强度,若电池单体20个数较少,则可以设置一个或者少数梁即可。例如,如图4和图5所示,这里以与第一壁210相交的第一梁220为例进行说明,该第一梁220可以为主体部112包括的至少一个梁中的任意一个梁。
如图4和图5所示,在第一壁210与第一梁220相交的位置还可以设置有加强结构,以固定第一壁210与第一梁220,并且增加第一壁210与第一梁220之间的强度。例如,图4和图5以该第一梁220与第一壁210相交处设置的第一加强结构230为例,并且图6示出了图4和图5中的第一加强结构230的示意图,图7示出了第一梁220的截面示意图,该截面为采用平行于第一壁210的平面截取该第一梁220获取的。另外,由于该主体部112内部可以具有一个或者多个第一梁220,对应的第一梁220与第一壁210之间可以具有多处相交的位置,并可以在该多处相交的位置中全部或者部分位置处设置该第一加强结构230,例如,图4仅示出了其中任意一处相交的位置,但本申请实施例并不限于此。
如图4-7所示,该第一梁220具有一定厚度,其内部具有空腔,这里称为第一空腔221;第一加强结构230的至少部分容纳于该第一空腔221内,该第一加强结构230通过第一连接件241与第一梁220固定、且通过第二连接件242与第一壁210固定,以使该第一壁210与该第一梁220连接固定。
因此,本申请实施例的箱体11,通过将第一加强结构230设置在第一梁220的空腔内,以固定第一梁220与第一壁210,可以在不占用箱体11内部空间或占用极小空间的情况下,极大的增加第一梁220与第一壁210之间的刚度和强度,能够解决在采用焊接方式固定第一梁220与第一壁210时,由于焊缝强度低而导致的受膨胀力易失效的问题。
如图4-7所示,在本申请的一个实施例中,第一加强结构230的至少部分容纳于该第一空腔221内,具体地,该第一梁220可以包括两个外侧壁223和224,还包括连接该两个外侧壁223和224的第一连接壁225。其中,该第一梁220的两个外侧壁223和224中每个外侧壁的表面可以为平整的,或者也可以为不平整的,例如,外 侧壁223和224的外表面或者内表面的局部区域上可以具有凸起或者凹槽,或者也可以在外表面或内表面上设置其他部件,本申请实施例并不限于此。
另外,该第一梁220的两个外侧壁223和224之间可以为相互平行的或者近似平行的,例如,两个外侧壁223和224的相对的两个内表面之间可以为平行的,但本申请实施例并不限于此。为了便于描述,本文主要以该第一梁220的两个外侧壁223和224为相互平行的两个壁为例进行描述。
如图4-7所示,该第一梁220还包括连接该两个外侧壁223和224的第一连接壁225,其中,该第一连接壁225可以具有任意方向和位置。例如,该第一连接壁225可以包括该第一梁220的外顶壁222,该外顶壁222为第一壁220的一个外壁,且同时与两个外侧壁223和224的端部相连;另外,该第一连接壁225还可以包括位于第一梁220内部的壁。另外,考虑到两个外侧壁223和224通常为平行的两个壁,为了便于加工以及增加结构强度,第一连接壁225通常垂直于两个外侧壁223和224;并且,在均垂直于两个外侧壁223和224的两个第一连接壁225之间还可以设置与两个外侧壁223和224平行的间隔壁226,以使第一梁220内部形成更多的第一空腔221,但本申请实施例并不限于此。其中,如图7所示,该间隔壁226可以与上下两个第一连接壁225相连,即本申请实施例中的第一连接壁225可以包括该间隔壁226。
应理解,本申请实施例中的第一梁220包括的外侧壁223和224与多个第一连接壁225之间可以为一体成型结构,或者也可以采用其他方式,本申请实施例并不限于此。
本申请实施例中的两个外侧壁223和224与第一连接壁225形成第一梁220内部的多个第一空腔221,该多个第一空腔221的尺寸可以相同或者不同,形状也可以相同或者不同,本申请实施例并不限于此。例如,图7中以多个第一空腔221均为圆角矩形为例,但多个第一空腔221的尺寸不同。再例如,当两个外侧壁223和224平行,并且第一连接壁225垂直于两个外侧壁223和224时,第一梁220的多个第一空腔221的轴线之间相互平行。
应理解,对应于不同的第一空腔221,本申请实施例的第一加强结构230也可以具有不同的形状和尺寸。具体地,如图4-7所示,本申请实施例中的该第一加强结构230可以包括多个加强块,例如,这里以三个加强块2311、2312和2313为例,该多个加强块2311,2312,2313中每个加强块能够容纳于第一梁220内部包括的多个第一空腔221中对应的一个第一空腔221内。
如图5和图6所示,第一加强结构230可以包括插入部231,插入部231容纳于该第一空腔221内,插入部231可以包括多个加强块2311、2312和2313,其中,一个加强块容纳于一个第一空腔221内,但是第一梁220中的任意一个第一空腔221内可以不容纳加强块或者容纳一个或者多个加强块。并且,每个第一空腔221在第一梁220的长度方向(即图中X方向)上延伸,但每个加强块的长度可以小于或者等于第一梁220的长度,即加强块可以位于第一梁220的靠近于第一壁210的一端,加强块的长度可以根据实际应用进行设置。但是,对于任意一个加强块的沿垂直于第一梁220的平面(或者沿平行于第一壁210的平面)的截面而言,该截面的形状和尺寸与其 容纳的第一空腔221相关。例如,如图4-7所示,若第一梁220的内部的多个第一空腔的轴线彼此平行,并且,一个第一空腔内最多设置一个加强块,那么插入部231包括的多个加强块的轴线也平行。
可选地,本申请的一个实施例中的该第一加强结构230包括的加强块的个数可以对应设置为任意值。例如,以图5至图7为例,这里将该第一梁220的高度方向定义为第二方向,表示为Z方向,则在沿该Z方向上,该第一梁包括4行第一空腔221,对应的,若一个第一空腔221内至多容纳一个加强块,该第一加强结构230可以包括最多4行加强块,例如,图5和图6以包括三个加强块2311、2312和2313为例,或者也可以设置为其他个数的加强块。
应理解,本申请实施例中的多个加强块2311、2312和2313中任意一个加强块可以为实心块,以使该第一加强结构230具有较大强度;或者该多个加强块2311、2312和2313也可以为具有空腔的中空结构,或者其他结构。例如,如图5和图6所示,加强块2311、2312和2313可以为一端开口的中空长方体结构,并且加强块的2311、2312和2313的壁具有一定厚度,以保证该第一加强结构230的强度。
在本申请实施例中,第一加强结构230可以通过第一连接件241与第一梁220固定连接。可选地,第一连接件241可以包括一个或者多个紧固件2411,紧固件2411可以包括头部和连接部,例如,紧固件2411可以为螺栓、螺钉或者铆钉等,本申请实施例并不限于此。
应理解,以图5和图6所示的第一加强结构230为例,第一加强结构230包括三个加强块2311、2312和2313,紧固件2411可以通过贯穿该第一梁220的外顶壁222以及三个加强块2311、2312和2313中至少一个加强块,以使该第一梁220与第一加强结构230固定。具体地,如图4至图7所示,这里将第一梁220的长度方向定义为第一方向,表示为X方向,沿该X方向,可以将三个加强块2311、2312和2313设置为不同长度,进而选择不同的方式固定该紧固件2411。
例如,如图4至图7所示,中间加强块2312的长度可以设置为大于另外两个加强块2311和2313的长度,这样,可以在中间加强块2312的上设置通孔,同时也在第一梁220的外顶壁222上以及内部第一连接壁225上设置通孔,通过外顶壁222上的通孔,将紧固件2411的连接部贯穿该第一梁220内部的第一连接壁225和中间加强块2312,以实现第一梁220和第一加强结构230的固定。其中,该紧固件2411的头部可以位于外顶壁222的外表面,例如,如图4和图5所示,第一梁220的外顶壁222的外表面可以具有凹部,第一梁220的外顶壁222中较低的表面为表面2221,较高的表面为表面2222,那么可以将紧固件2411的头部设置在较低表面2221上,这样,该紧固件2411的头部的高度可以不超过该第一梁220沿Z方向的最大高度,不会影响箱体11内各个部件的安装,例如,与主体部112对应的盖部111为平板状时,紧固件2411在高度上不突出,就不会影响该盖部111与主体部112的闭合。或者,该紧固件2411的头部也可以位于第一梁220的空腔内。例如,可以通过外顶壁222上的通孔,将紧固件2411的头部固定在第一梁220内部的第一连接壁225的表面上,这样,如图4所示,安装之后,紧固件2411全部位于第一梁220的内部,完全不影响第一梁220 的外部结构,便于其他部件安装。
可选地,不同于图5或图6的结构,该第一加强结构230的多个加强块的长度还可以设置为其他情况。例如,可以将上方的两个加强块2311和2312的长度均设置为大于最下方向的加强块2313,紧固件2411可以贯穿上方的两个加强块2311和2312以与第一梁220固定,本申请实施例并不限于此,下文中会结合附图进行描述。
应理解,本申请实施例中紧固件2411的个数可以根据实际应用进行设置。例如,图5以一个紧固件2411为例,或者,也可以设置多个紧固件2411,该多个紧固件2411可以沿X方向排列,以保证第一梁220和第一加强结构230之间的强度和稳定性。
可选地,本申请的一个实施例中的该第一连接件241还可以包括膨胀胶2412,该膨胀胶2412位于该第一加强结构230与该第一梁220之间,以连接该第一加强结构230和该第一梁220。具体地,如图4至图7所示,这里将第一梁220的厚度方向定义为第三方向,表示为Y方向,可以在该第一加强结构230的侧壁表面设置膨胀胶2412,即可以在第一梁220的两个外侧壁222和223中至少一个外侧壁与第一加强结构230之间设置该膨胀胶2412,以使得沿Y方向上,第一加强结构230在该膨胀胶2412的作用下,能够填满该第一梁220的内部空腔。或者,也可以在第一加强结构230的其他表面设置膨胀胶2412,本申请实施例并不限于此。
在本申请实施例中,在安装该第一加强结构230时,可以先在该第一加强结构230的表面上涂覆该膨胀胶2412,例如,可以在该第一加强结构230的侧壁的外表面涂覆该膨胀胶2412,再将该涂有膨胀胶2412的第一加强结构230容纳至第一空腔221内。对该第一梁220的对应于膨胀胶2412的部分进行加热,使得膨胀胶2412发生膨胀,以达到填充的作用,实现第一加强结构230与第一梁220的过盈连接,例如,可以令膨胀胶2412和第一加强结构230沿X方向和/或Z方向充满第一空腔221。
上文中结合附图,主要对第一加强结构230与第一梁220之间的固定方式进行了介绍,下面将结合附图,详细描述该第一加强结构230与第一壁210之间的固定。可选地,第一加强结构230和第一壁210之间可以采用多种方式进行固定,例如,该第一加强结构230可以通过第二连接件242与第一壁210的不同位置进行固定,其中,本申请实施例中的第二连接件242可以包括一个或者多个紧固件,每个第二连接件242可以包括连接部和头部,例如,该第二连接件242可以为螺栓、螺钉或者铆钉等,本申请实施例并不限于此。
可选地,作为一个实施例,第一加强结构230还可以包括与插入部231相连的固定部232,固定部232位于该第一空腔221外,固定部232通过第二连接件242与该第一壁210固定,具体地,如图4和图5所示,固定部232通过该第二连接件242与第一壁210的朝向箱体11内部的表面固定,以使第一加强结构230与第一壁210固定。
具体地,如图4和图5所示,固定部232可以与第一壁210的内子壁211固定,其中,该内子壁211为箱体11的内壁。例如,如图4至图6所示,固定部232可以为薄板形状,通过一个或者多个第二连接件242与第一壁210的内子壁211固 定,图中是以第二连接件242包括4个螺栓为例,4个螺栓从箱体11的内部朝向箱体11外部,依次贯穿固定部232和内子壁211。
可选地,为了进一步增加该第一加强结构230与第一壁210之间的强度和稳定性,如图5和图6所示,还可以在插入部231上设置连接件,例如,该连接件可以为螺栓、螺钉或者铆钉等紧固件,以用于第一加强结构230与第一壁210之间的固定。具体地,如图5和图6所示,可以在第一加强结构230包括的任意一个加强块上设置凹槽,比如可以在最下方的加强块2313上设置凹槽,并在该凹槽底壁设置上设置通孔,以使紧固件贯穿该凹槽底壁和内子壁211,实现最下方的加强块2313与内子壁211之间的固定。
应理解,该第一加强结构230的固定部232的尺寸和形状可以根据实际应用进行设置。例如,如图4至图6所示,该固定部232可以为矩形,或者也可以设置为圆形或者其他形状。并且,为了不过多占用箱体11内部空间,该固定部232可以设置为薄板状。进一步的,还可以在固定部232上设置凹槽,将第二连接件242设置在凹槽的底壁,以减小占用的箱体11内部空间。
可选地,作为另一个实施例,相比于图5和图6所示的薄板状的固定部232,该固定部232还可以具有更大的厚度,并且将固定部232设置在第一壁210的空腔内。具体地,图8示出了本申请实施例的箱体11的主体部112的另一示意图,不同于图4所示的主体部112,图8中的主体部112的第一壁210和第一梁220之间采用了不同的第一加强结构230。并且,对于主体部112内一个或者多个第一梁220和第一壁210,可以对应具有多处相交位置,该多处相交位置可以设置有相同的第一加强结构230,或者也可以设置不同的第一加强结构230,例如,图8中第一梁220和第一壁210的两处相交位置设置了不同的第一加强结构230,即区域B和区域C内的第一加强结构230不同。这里首先对左侧区域B内的第一加强结构230进行介绍。
图9示出了图8中区域B的爆炸图。如图9所示,图9中的第一梁220与图5中的第一梁220相对应,并且适用于图5中的第一梁220的相关描述;并且,图9中的插入部231和第一连接件241分别与图5中的插入部231和第一连接件241相对应,并且分别适用于图5中的插入部231和第一连接件241的相关描述,为了简洁,在此均不再赘述。
对比图5可知,图9中的固定部232与图5中的固定部232不同,具体地,如图9所示,第一壁210的内子壁211上具有第一开口2111,该第一开口2111用于将该固定部232容纳于该第一壁210的空腔内。
图10示出了第一壁210的截面示意图,该截面为垂直于该第一壁210的平面或者平行于第一梁220的平面截取该第一壁210获取的。由于本申请实施例中以第一壁210垂直于第一梁220为例,那么该第一壁210的厚度方向为X方向,该第一壁210的高度为Z方向,该第一壁210的长度方向为Y方向。如图9和图10所示,该第一壁210可以包括内子壁211、外子壁212和用于连接该内子壁211和该外子壁212的第二连接壁213,该内子壁211为该箱体11的内壁,该外子壁212为该箱体11的外壁,该内子壁211、该外子壁212和该第二连接壁213形成该第一壁210的一个或者多 个第二空腔214。
类似第一梁220内的第一空腔221,该第二空腔214的形状、尺寸、位置及个数等均可以根据实际应用进行设置,本申请实施例对此不做限定。例如,这里以该第一壁210的第二空腔214的分布如图10所示为例,即第二连接壁213中包括平行于该内子壁211和外子壁212的一部分壁,这里称为中间壁2131,使得第二空腔214包括靠近内子壁211的一排第二空腔2141和2142,还包括靠近外子壁212的一排第二空腔2143和2144。
如图9和图10所示,本申请实施例的第一壁210的内子壁211上具有第一开口2111,该第一开口2111用于将该固定部232容纳于该第一壁210的空腔内,例如,将固定部232容纳于靠近内子壁211的一排第二空腔2141和2142内,以使得第二连接件242将固定部232固定在中间壁2131上,进而实现第一加强结构230与第一壁210的固定。
具体地,可以通过在外子壁212上开口,以安装固定第二连接件232、中间壁2131和固定部232。具体地,图11示出了第一壁210的外子壁212的局部爆炸图,如图9至图11所示,该外子壁212设置有第二开口2121,该第二开口2121用于安装该第二连接件242,使得第二连接件242可以通过该第二开口2121将固定部232和中间壁2131固定。
可选地,如图11所示,该第一壁210还可以包括密封板2122,该密封板2122密封连接于该第二开口2121,以使该第一壁210的外子壁212相对密封。
可选地,作为再一个实施例,本申请实施例中第一加强结构230还可以采用其他方式与第一壁210固定,例如,图8中的区域C,图12示出了图8中区域C的放大图,图13为图12的爆炸图,图14和图15为图12的截面图,其中,图14的截面为沿平行于第一梁220的平面截取第一梁220获取的,图15的截面为沿平行于主体部112的底壁的平面(或者说沿同时垂直于第一壁210和第一梁220的平面)截取第一梁220获取的。如图12至15,参照图8,同样以第一壁210垂直于第一梁220为例,则该第一壁210的厚度方向或者说第一梁220的长度方向为X方向,该第一壁210的高度方向或者说第一梁220的高度方向为Z方向,该第一壁210的长度方向或者说第一梁220的厚度方向为Y方向。
如图12至图15所示,图12至图15中的第一梁220与图5中的第一梁220相对应,并且适用于图5中的第一梁220的相关描述;同时,图12至图15中的第一加强结构230对应于图5中的插入部231,并且适用于图5中的插入部231相关描述;图12至图15中的第一连接件241与图5中的第一连接件241相对应,并且适用于图5中的第一连接件241的相关描述,为了简洁,在此均不再赘述。
例如,与图5类似,图12至图15所示的第一加强结构230可以包括多个加强块,一个加强块对应容纳于第一梁220的一个第一空腔内,例如,这里以包括3个加强块为例,并且该3个加强块的轴线相互平行。另外,该3个加强块沿X方向的长度也可以设置为相同或不同,这里以相同为例进行描述。
本申请实施例中的第一连接件241可以包括多个紧固件2411,例如,这里 以3个紧固件2411为例进行说明。多个紧固件2411可以沿X方向排列,而每个紧固件2411可以沿高度方向设置。对于如图所示的3个长度相同且相互平行的加强块而言,每个紧固件2411可以自上之下至少贯穿一个加强块,例如,图14以贯穿两个加强块为例,而最下方的加强块被紧固件2411部分穿过。
另外,如图12至图15所示,该第一梁220的外顶壁222可以设置有台阶结构。具体地,该第一梁220的外顶壁222上设置具有台阶结构,该台阶结构中较低的表面为表面2221,较高的表面为表面2222,两个高度不同的表面使该外顶壁222具有凹部2223,该紧固件2411的头部可以位于该凹部2223内,即该头部设置在较低的表面2221上,以使该紧固件2411的头部在该第一梁220的高度方向上不超过该第一梁220的最大高度。这样,该紧固件2411在Z方向上不是凸起的,不会影响该主体部112的安装,例如,与主体部112对应的盖部111为平板状时,紧固件2411在高度上不突出,就不会影响该盖部111与主体部112的闭合。
可选地,为了降低第一梁220与第一壁210接触部分的应力集中导致的变形,还可以在较低表面2221上设置第二加强结构250。具体地,如图12和图13所示,该箱体11还包括第二加强结构250,该第二加强结构250包括相连的第一部分251和第二部分252。该第一部分251固定于该第一壁210的朝向该第一梁220的表面,即该第一部分251固定于内子壁211的外表面;该第二部分252固定于该第一梁220的外顶壁222,且该紧固件2411贯穿该第二部分252,例如,该第二部分252可以固定于较低的表面2221。该第二加强结构250可以减少第一梁220的与第一壁210接触的一端的应力集中,也可以防止第一梁220沿Z方向翘起。
可选地,该第二加强结构250可以包括凹槽253,其中,位于第二部分252的凹槽253的底壁设置有通孔,以用于紧固件2411贯穿该第二部分252。并且,由于内子壁211的外表面可能存在部分凸起或者凹陷的区域,而该第二加强结构250与该内子壁211接触的部分的形状可以根据该内子壁211的外表面进行设置。例如,如图12和图13所示,第一部分251可以具有凸起和凹陷区域,以使该第一部分251可以贴合于内子壁211的外表面,但本申请实施例并不限于此。
应理解,对比图5,图12至图15中的第一加强结构230不包括固定部232,而是采用其他方式与第一壁210固定。具体地,该箱体11还可以包括第三加强结构260,该第三加强结构260设置在第一壁210的第二空腔214内,且该第三加强结构260通过该第二连接件242与该第一壁210、该第一加强结构230固定。
应理解,仍然以图10和图11所示的第一壁210结构为例,该第三加强结构260可以固定在中间壁2131上。具体地,该第一壁210的外子壁212可以设置有第二开口2121,该第二开口2121可以用于安装该第二连接件242以及第三加强结构260,并且对应的,该第一壁210还包括密封板2122,该密封板2122密封连接于该第二开口2121。如图12至图15所示,该第三加强结构260可以通过该第二开口2121,固定于中间壁2131的朝向外子壁212的表面,第二连接件242依次贯穿第三加强结构260和中间壁2131,并伸入第一加强结构230中,进而将第三加强结构260、第一壁210和第一加强结构230进行固定。
可选地,考虑到第一壁210内的第二空腔214的分布可以根据实际应用灵活设置,因此,该第三加强结构260的形状和安装位置也可以对应调整。例如,由于该第一壁210内部可能存在至少部分区域不包括中间壁2131,例如图12至图15中第一壁210的位于最下方的第二空腔214体积较大,不存在中间壁2131,因此,该第三加强结构260也可以存在至少一部分不固定于中间壁2131上,例如,该部分可以直接固定于第一壁210的内子壁211的朝向外子壁212的表面。即该第三加强结构260可以部分固定于中间壁2131上,部分固定于内子壁210上,则图16示出了本申请实施例的第三加强结构260的示意图,该第三加强结构160可以具有如图16所示的台阶形结构,但本申请实施例并不限于此。
另外,对于第三加强结构260中固定于中间壁2131的一部分,第一加强结构230中与之对应的区域可以贴合于中间壁2131的朝向内子壁211的表面,即如图12至图15所示,第一加强结构230具有台阶形结构,存在至少部分第一加强结构230可以容纳于第二空间214内,例如,可以通过在内子壁211上设置开口,以容纳该部分第一加强结构230,并将该部分第一加强结构230固定于中间壁2131的朝向内子壁211的表面,但本申请实施例并不限于此。
可选地,如图16所示,该第三加强结构260可以包括一个或者多个凹槽261,每个凹槽261的底壁设置有通孔262,以用于安装第二连接件242,例如,该第二连接件242可包括具有连接部和头部的紧固件,则连接部穿过该通孔262,头部则设置在凹槽261的底壁。
应理解,本申请实施例中第三加强结构260上凹槽261的个数可以根据第二连接件242的个数进行设置。例如,如图12至图16所示,第二连接件242可以为螺栓,凹槽261的个数等于螺栓的个数。
另外,该第三加强结构260中凹槽261的位置可以根据第二空腔214的部分进行设置。例如,如图12至图16所示,一个凹槽261对应于一个第二空腔214,但本申请实施例并不限于此。
因此,本申请实施例的电池箱体11,在第一梁220和第一壁210相交的位置设置有第一加强结构230,该第一加强结构230至少部分容纳于第一梁220的空腔内,并且分别与第一梁220和第一壁210固定,从而固定第一梁220和第一壁210,进而可以在不占用箱体11内部空间或者占用极小的空间的情况下,提供该第一梁220和第一壁210相交处的强度,有效的解决了在膨胀力作用下二者相交处失效的问题。
