Abstract

The battery pack according to this application includes: a frame body, enclosing an accommodating space that is closed circumferentially and opened in a height direction; and a heat exchange plate, fixed under the frame body and closing a lower opening of the accommodating space. The heat exchange plate includes: a body portion provided with a heat exchange flow passage; and a fastening portion connected to an entire periphery of the body portion and provided with a plurality of notches, where the notches are recessed inward from an end of the fastening portion, the plurality of notches are spaced apart along the entire periphery of the fastening portion, a protrusion is formed between each two adjacent notches, and the protrusion is fixedly connected to the frame body.

Claims (19)

1. A battery pack, comprising: a frame body, enclosing an accommodating space that is closed circumferentially and opened in a height direction; and a heat exchange plate, fixed under the frame body and closing a lower opening of the accommodating space, wherein

the heat exchange plate comprises: a body portion provided with a heat exchange flow passage; and a fastening portion connected to an entire periphery of the body portion and provided with a plurality of notches, wherein the notches are recessed inward from an end of the fastening portion, the plurality of notches are spaced apart along the entire periphery of the fastening portion, a protrusion is formed between each two adjacent notches, and the protrusions are fixedly connected to the frame body;

the frame body comprises: an outer frame enclosing the accommodating space; and a partition beam provided in the accommodating space; and

the body portion of the heat exchange plate is provided with a boss corresponding to the partition beam, wherein a side of the boss away from the partition beam is recessed in a direction toward the partition beam and a side of the boss facing the partition beam protrudes toward the partition beam.

2. The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein

each protrusion is provided with a fastening hole penetrating along the height direction; and

the battery pack further comprises a first fastener, wherein the first fastener passes through the fastening hole of the protrusions of the fastening portion to fasten the protrusion to the frame body.

3. The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein the protrusions are connected to the frame body by welding or bonding.

4. The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein

the partition bean extends along a transverse direction or a longitudinal direction and is fixedly connected to the outer frame, wherein the partition beam divides the accommodating space into a plurality of sub-spaces; and

the boss is fixed to the corresponding partition beam.

5. The battery pack according to claim 4 , wherein a plurality of bosses are corresponding to the partition beam which are spaced apart and arranged in a line along an extension direction of the partition beam.

6. The battery pack according to claim 4 , wherein

the battery pack further comprises a second fastener, wherein the second fastener passes through the corresponding boss to be fixed to the partition beam.

7. The battery pack according to claim 4 , wherein the boss is fixed to the partition beam by bonding or welding.

8. The battery pack according to claim 4 , wherein the heat exchange plate comprises: a first plate and a second plate, wherein the first plate is arranged closer to the frame body than the second plate, and the boss is formed by stamping the first plate and the second plate together.

9. The battery pack according to claim 4 , wherein

the battery pack further comprises a plurality of battery modules respectively accommodated in corresponding sub-spaces, wherein the battery modules are in thermally conductive contact with the body portion of the heat exchange plate.

10. The battery pack according to claim 9 , wherein the battery modules are fixed to the body portion of the heat exchange plate by a structural adhesive.
