Abstract

The disclosure relates to the technical field of batteries, in particular to a battery box, a battery pack, and a vehicle. The battery box includes a beam, a box cover, and a buffer member. The buffer member is disposed between the beam and the box cover and the buffer member is connected to the beam.

Claims (46)

1. A battery box, wherein the battery box comprises:

a beam;

a box cover; and

a buffer member, wherein the buffer member is disposed between the beam and the box cover and connected to the beam,

wherein the buffer member comprises:

a first connecting portion, wherein the first connecting portion is configured to connect the beam;

a second connecting portion, wherein the second connecting portion is configured to connect the box cover; and

a buffer portion, wherein an end of the buffer portion is connected to the first connecting portion, another end of the buffer portion is connected to the second connecting portion, a thickness of the first connecting portion is greater than a thickness of the buffer portion, and a thickness of the second connecting portion is greater than the thickness of the buffer portion.

2. The battery box of claim 1 , wherein a first end of the buffer member is connected to a side of the beam close to the box cover.

3. The battery box of claim 2 , wherein a second end of the buffer member is connected to a side of the box cover close to the beam.

4. The battery box of claim 1 , wherein an extending direction of the first connecting portion is perpendicular to an extending direction of the buffer portion, and an extending direction of the second connecting portion is parallel to the extending direction of the first connecting portion.

5. The battery box of claim 4 , wherein the buffer member is C-shaped.

6. The battery box of claim 1 , wherein the buffer member further comprises:

a third connecting portion, wherein the third connecting portion is connected to the buffer portion, and the third connecting portion is located between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion.

7. The battery box of claim 6 , wherein an extending direction of the first connecting portion is perpendicular to an extending direction of the buffer portion, an extending direction of the second connecting portion is consistent with the extending direction of the first connecting portion, and an extending direction of the third connecting portion is consistent with the extending direction of the first connecting portion to form an E-shaped buffer member.

8. The battery box of claim 6 , wherein the battery box further comprises:

a cooling member, wherein the cooling member is disposed between the beam and the box cover, and the cooling member is connected to the third connecting portion.

9. The battery box of claim 1 , wherein the buffer member further comprises:

a first reinforcement portion, wherein the first reinforcement portion is respectively connected to the first connecting portion and the buffer portion; and

a second reinforcement portion, wherein the second reinforcement portion is respectively connected to the second connecting portion and the buffer portion.

10. The battery box of claim 4 , wherein the buffer member further comprises:

a first reinforcement portion, wherein the first reinforcement portion is respectively connected to the first connecting portion and the buffer portion; and

a second reinforcement portion, wherein the second reinforcement portion is respectively connected to the second connecting portion and the buffer portion.

11. The battery box of claim 5 , wherein the buffer member further comprises:

a first reinforcement portion, wherein the first reinforcement portion is respectively connected to the first connecting portion and the buffer portion; and

a second reinforcement portion, wherein the second reinforcement portion is respectively connected to the second connecting portion and the buffer portion.

12. The battery box of claim 6 , wherein the buffer member further comprises:

a first reinforcement portion, wherein the first reinforcement portion is respectively connected to the first connecting portion and the buffer portion; and

a second reinforcement portion, wherein the second reinforcement portion is respectively connected to the second connecting portion and the buffer portion.

13. The battery box of claim 7 , wherein the buffer member further comprises:

a first reinforcement portion, wherein the first reinforcement portion is respectively connected to the first connecting portion and the buffer portion; and

a second reinforcement portion, wherein the second reinforcement portion is respectively connected to the second connecting portion and the buffer portion.

14. The battery box of claim 8 , wherein the buffer member further comprises:

a first reinforcement portion, wherein the first reinforcement portion is respectively connected to the first connecting portion and the buffer portion; and

a second reinforcement portion, wherein the second reinforcement portion is respectively connected to the second connecting portion and the buffer portion.

15. The battery box of claim 1 , wherein the buffer member comprises:

a spring, wherein an end of the spring is connected to the beam, and another end of the spring is connected to the box cover.

16. The battery box of claim 15 , wherein the battery box further comprises:

a first connecting member, wherein the first connecting member is connected to the beam and the spring; and

a second connecting member, wherein the second connecting member is connected to the box cover and the spring.

17. The battery box of claim 1 , wherein the battery box further comprises:

a frame, wherein the frame and the beam form a plurality of battery compartments, and the battery compartments are configured for accommodating batteries, and when the batteries are disposed in the battery compartments, the frame and/or the beam are connected to the batteries to withstand at least a portion of a weight of the batteries.

18. A battery pack, wherein the battery pack comprises:
