Abstract

The present disclosure relates to the field of energy storage devices and in particular, to a housing used for a battery pack and a battery pack. The housing includes a main body and an installation panel. The main body includes a battery accommodation space and a panel installation window communicating with the battery accommodation space, and the battery accommodation space is configured to accommodate a battery. The installation panel and the main body are separately formed, and the installation panel is installed at the panel installation window. The installation panel includes a base and a connection device installation portion connected to the base, and the connection device installation portion is where a connection device that is connected to the battery is to be installed. The housing provided by the present disclosure has a relatively low production cost and a relatively high production efficiency.

Claims (21)

1. A housing used for a battery pack, comprising:

a main body, wherein the main body comprises a battery accommodation space and a panel installation window communicating with the battery accommodation space, and the battery accommodation space is configured to accommodate a battery; and

an installation panel, wherein the installation panel and the main body are separately formed, the installation panel is installed at the panel installation window, and the installation panel comprises a base and a connection device installation portion connected to the base, and the connection device installation portion is where a connection device that is connected to the battery is to be installed,

wherein the installation panel further comprises a heating connection device pedestal installation portion, in which a pedestal of a connection device connected to a heating component in the housing is to be installed,

wherein the pedestal of the connection device connected to the heating component comprises a guiding slot and a key pillar, and the heating connection device pedestal installation portion is provided with a guiding pillar and a key slot for matching up with the guiding slot and the key pillar.

2. The housing according to claim 1 , wherein the connection device installation portion comprises a high-voltage installation portion and a low-voltage installation portion, the high-voltage installation portion comprises a positive installation portion and a negative installation portion, and the low-voltage installation portion is disposed between the positive installation portion and the negative installation portion in a length direction of the installation panel.

3. The housing according to claim 2 , wherein the negative installation portion comprises a negative output installation portion where overall output negative terminal of the battery pack is to be installed, the positive installation portion comprises a safety device installation portion where a safety device of the battery pack is to be installed and a positive output installation portion where an overall output positive terminal of the battery pack is to be installed, and the safety device installation portion is disposed between the positive output installation portion and the negative output installation portion in the length direction.

4. The housing according to claim 3 , wherein the safety device installation portion comprises a maintenance switch installation portion where a maintenance switch of the battery pack is to be installed and a fuse installation portion where a fuse of the battery pack is to be installed, and the fuse installation portion is disposed between the maintenance switch installation portion and the positive output installation portion in the length direction.

5. The housing according to claim 3 , wherein the installation panel further comprises a connection device protection cover, and the connection device protection cover is connected to the base and covers the connection device installation portion.

6. The housing according to claim 5 , wherein the installation panel further comprises a shielding layer disposed on the connection device protection cover and to be disposed around a high-voltage connection device of the connection device, and the shielding layer is configured to avoid an electromagnetic induction phenomenon of the high-voltage connection device when being energized.

7. The housing according to claim 1 , wherein the installation panel is connected to the main body by a threaded connector.

8. The housing according to claim 1 , wherein the base has a clamping protrusion by which a position-limiting matching is formed between the installation panel and the main body.

9. The housing according to claim 1 , further comprising a sealing ring, wherein the sealing ring is disposed between the installation panel and the main body.

10. The housing according to claim 1 , wherein the heating connection device pedestal installation portion is further provided with an interlocking pin that is configured to be connected to an interlocking terminal on the pedestal of the connection device connected to the heating component.

11. A battery pack, comprising:

a housing comprising:

a main body, wherein the main body comprises a battery accommodation space and a panel installation window communicating with the battery accommodation space, and

an installation panel, wherein the installation panel and the main body are separately formed, the installation panel is installed at the panel installation window, and the installation panel comprises a base, a connection device installation portion which is connected to the base, and a heating connection device pedestal installation portion in which a pedestal of a connection device connected to a heating component in the housing is installed,

wherein the pedestal of the connection device connected to the heating component comprises a guiding slot and a key pillar, and the heating connection device pedestal installation portion is provided with a guiding pillar and a key slot for matching up with the guiding slot and the key pillar; and
