The battery pack includes a battery box, reinforcing members being arranged on a bottom surface of the battery box; and at least one battery unit, located in the battery box. The battery unit includes: end plates; side plates, the side plates and the end plates being connected end to end in sequence to define an accommodating cavity, and the side plates being stacked on the reinforcing members in a height direction of the battery box; and a plurality of battery cores, located in the accommodating cavity.

Claims (28)

1. A battery pack, comprising:

a battery box, the battery box comprising reinforcing members being arranged on a bottom surface of the battery box, the reinforcing members being inside the battery box; and

at least one battery unit located in the battery box, and the at least one battery unit comprising:

end plates;

side plates, wherein the side plates and the end plates are connected end to end in sequence to define an accommodating cavity, and the side plates are stacked on the reinforcing members in a height direction of the battery box; and

a plurality of battery cores, located in the accommodating cavity; and, wherein the side plate comprises:

a side plate body, the end plates and the side plate bodies being connected end to end in sequence to define the accommodating cavity;

a bottom supporting plate, the battery cores and the end plates being all arranged on the bottom supporting plate; and

a first connecting plate, the first connecting plate and the bottom supporting plate being oppositely arranged on two sides of the side plate body, wherein two adjacent first connecting plates are stacked together.

2. The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of the battery units are provided in the accommodating cavity, wherein the reinforcing member and two adjacent side plates are stacked together in the height direction of the battery box.

3. The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein in a direction perpendicular to the first connecting plate, two adjacent first connecting plates are stacked together in the height direction of the battery box.

4. The battery pack according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a pressing piece, located in the battery box, and the pressing piece, the first connecting plate, and the reinforcing member being stacked in sequence in the height direction of the battery box, wherein

the battery cores and the end plates are all clamped between the pressing piece and the bottom supporting plate.

5. The battery pack according to claim 4 , wherein the pressing piece comprises:

a second connecting plate, the second connecting plate, the first connecting plate, and the reinforcing member are stacked together in sequence in the height direction of the battery box through connecting pieces; and

a pressing plate, connected to the second connecting plate, the battery cores and the end plates being all located between the pressing plate and the bottom supporting plate.

6. The battery pack according to claim 5 , wherein the pressing plate is higher than the second connecting plate, and a recessed portion is formed therebetween.

7. The battery pack according to claim 5 , wherein the battery box comprises:

a box body; and

a plurality of reinforcing beams, connected to a bottom surface of the box body at equal spacings, the first connecting plate, the second connecting plate, and the reinforcing beams being all parallel to the stacking direction of the battery cores, and the reinforcing beams being the reinforcing members.

8. The battery pack according to claim 7 , further comprising:

a first reinforcing bracket, connected between two adjacent reinforcing beams; and

a second reinforcing bracket, arranged on an outer wall of the box body, the first reinforcing bracket being connected to the second reinforcing bracket through connecting pieces.

9. The battery pack according to claim 7 , wherein a hoisting member is arranged on an end surface of the end plate facing away from the bottom surface of the box body; and the battery pack is hoisted on a top plate of a mounting box of a vehicle through the hoisting member.

10. The battery pack according to claim 8 , wherein the first connecting plates, the second connecting plates, the reinforcing beams, the first reinforcing brackets, and the second reinforcing brackets are all made of aluminum profiles with cavities.

11. A vehicle, comprising a mounting box and the battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein

the battery pack is mounted on the mounting box through hoisting members, wherein a top surface of the mounting box is a box cover of a box body of the battery box.
