Abstract

The present application is provided with a battery pack, including a first battery module, a second battery module and a box body, where the first battery module and the second battery module are housed in the box body; the box body including a lower box body configured to support the first battery module and the second battery module, and an upper box body fitting with the lower box body. The lower box body includes a first connecting portion, and the first connecting portion is located between the first battery module and the second battery module. The upper box body includes a second connecting portion, where the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are fixed and connected. In the battery pack of the present application, the problem of downward deflection of the lower box body is avoided and the strength of the battery pack is improved.

First claim

wherein the box body comprises a lower box body configured to support the first battery module and the second battery module, and an upper box body fitting with the lower box body, wherein the upper box body is a recess structure with an opening facing downwards towards the lower box body, and the lower box body is a recess structure with an opening facing upwards towards the upper box body; the opening of the upper box body engages with the opening of the lower box body;
a bottom wall of the lower box body comprises a first connecting portion, the first connecting portion is located between the first battery module and the second battery module, a bottom wall of the upper box body comprises a second connecting portion, and the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are fixed and connected;
wherein the first connecting portion of the lower box body has a first protrusion portion protruding upward along a height direction, and the first protrusion portion of the first connecting portion is fixed and connected to the second connecting portion of the upper box body; and,
wherein the second connecting portion of the upper box body has a second protrusion portion protruding downward along the height direction, the second protrusion portion, the second connecting portion, and the upper box body are an integral structure, and the first protrusion portion of the first connecting portion is fixed and connected to the second protrusion portion of the second connecting portion;
the battery pack further comprises:
a first fastening member, the first protrusion portion of the first connecting portion and the second protrusion portion of the second connecting portion are fixed and connected by the first fastening member along the height direction.

2. The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein the first connecting portion is provided at a bottom of the lower box body.

3. The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein the first protrusion portion of the first connecting portion is formed with a first recess recessed inward along the height direction, and the first recess and the second protrusion portion of the second connecting portion are fixed and connected by concave-convex fit.

4. The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein the second protrusion portion of the second connecting portion is formed with a second recess recessed inward along the height direction, and the second recess and the first protrusion portion of the first connecting portion are fixed and connected by concave-convex fit.

5. The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein a top surface of the upper box body is provided with a third recess recessed inward along the height direction, which is corresponding to a position of the second protrusion portion of the second connecting portion.

6. The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein the second connecting portion of the upper box body has a second protrusion portion protruding downward along a height direction, and the second protrusion portion of the second connecting portion is fixed and connected to the first connecting portion.

7. The battery pack according to claim 6 , wherein a top surface of the upper box body is provided with a third recess recessed inward along the height direction, which is corresponding to a position of the second protrusion portion of the second connecting portion.

8. The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein the battery pack further comprises a connecting beam, provided between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion, and the connecting beam is fixed and connected to the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion.
