Abstract

A battery pack according to this application includes a lower support; a lower fastening member that is fastened onto the lower support and extending upwards along a height direction; an upper support plate provided above the lower fastening member; and a heat exchange plate directly fastened onto the upper support plate. In the battery pack according to this application, the heat exchange plate is directly fastened onto the upper support plate, which eliminates use of a position locking piece to position the heat exchange plate and ensures that flatness and positioning tolerance of the heat exchange plate are not affected.

Claims (14)

1. A battery pack, comprising:

a lower support;

a lower fastening member that is fastened onto the lower support and extending upwards along a height direction;

an upper support plate provided above the lower fastening member; and

a heat exchange plate directly fastened onto the upper support plate, and comprising a first plate, a second plate, and a sinking platform, wherein the second plate is provided closer to the upper support plate than the first plate, the second plate is provided with a flow channel portion for forming a flow channel, the flow channel portion is recessed downward from a side facing the first plate and protrudes beyond the other side, and the sinking platform protrudes downwards beyond a lowest position of the flow channel portion along the height direction.

2. The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein the heat exchange plate is mechanically fastened onto the upper support plate.

3. The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein the sinking platform is formed by stamping together the first plate and the second plate.

4. The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein

sinking platforms are provided at four corners of the heat exchange plate.
