Abstract

The disclosure relates to a technical field of batteries, and in particular, relates to a battery pack, an assembly process thereof, and a vehicle. The battery pack includes a battery compartment configured for accommodating a plurality of batteries, and a side wall of the battery compartment is a blocking beam. The assembly process includes the following: arranging at least two adjacent side walls of the battery compartment excluding the blocking beam at a first predetermined position to form an accommodating space; arranging the batteries in the accommodating space; and arranging the blocking beam at a second predetermined position to limit the batteries.

Claims (32)

1. An assembly process of a battery pack, wherein the battery pack comprises a battery compartment configured for accommodating a plurality of batteries, the battery compartment includes a bottom plate, a side wall of the battery compartment is a blocking beam, and the assembly process comprises:

arranging at least two adjacent side walls of the battery compartment excluding the blocking beam at a first predetermined position to form an accommodating space;

arranging the batteries in the accommodating space in an arranging direction perpendicular to an extending direction of the blocking beam;

arranging sliding grooves or sliding rails on a top surface of the bottom plate, and arranging corresponding sliding rails or corresponding sliding grooves on a bottom surface of the blocking beam to guide the blocking beam to move in the arranging direction;

arranging the blocking beam at a second predetermined position to limit the batteries; and

connecting the blocking beam to the bottom plate of the battery compartment.

2. The assembly process according to claim 1 , further comprising:

providing a buffer layer between adjacent batteries.

3. The assembly process according to claim 2 , further comprising:

connecting the buffer layer to a surface of the batteries opposite to the buffer layer through gluing.

4. The assembly process according to claim 1 , further comprising:

connecting the blocking beam to a side wall of the battery compartment adjacent to the blocking beam.

5. The assembly process according to claim 2 , further comprising:

connecting the blocking beam to a side wall of the battery compartment adjacent to the blocking beam.

6. The assembly process according to claim 3 , further comprising:

connecting the blocking beam to a side wall of the battery compartment adjacent to the blocking beam.

7. The assembly process according to claim 4 , wherein the step of connecting the blocking beam to the side wall of the battery compartment adjacent to the blocking beam further comprises:

connecting the blocking beam to the side wall of the battery compartment adjacent to the blocking beam through one or more of gluing, bolting, and welding.

8. The assembly process according to claim 5 , wherein the step of connecting the blocking beam to the side wall of the battery compartment adjacent to the blocking beam further comprises:

connecting the blocking beam to the side wall of the battery compartment adjacent to the blocking beam through one or more of gluing, bolting, and welding.

9. The assembly process according to claim 6 , wherein the step of connecting the blocking beam to the side wall of the battery compartment adjacent to the blocking beam further comprises:

connecting the blocking beam to the side wall of the battery compartment adjacent to the blocking beam through one or more of gluing, bolting, and welding.

10. The assembly process according to claim 4 , wherein the step of connecting the blocking beam to the bottom plate of the battery compartment further comprises:

connecting the blocking beam to the bottom plate of the battery compartment through one or more of gluing, bolting, and welding.

11. The assembly process according to claim 5 , wherein the step of connecting the blocking beam to the bottom plate of the battery compartment further comprises:

connecting the blocking beam to the bottom plate of the battery compartment through one or more of gluing, bolting, and welding.

12. The assembly process according to claim 6 , wherein the step of connecting the blocking beam to the bottom plate of the battery compartment further comprises:

connecting the blocking beam to the bottom plate of the battery compartment through one or more of gluing, bolting, and welding.

13. The assembly process according to claim 1 , wherein a border frame surrounding the side walls of the battery compartment is provided outside the battery compartment, an explosion-proof valve mounting hole is disposed at a corresponding position of the border frame and the blocking beam, and the step of arranging the blocking beam at the second predetermined position to limit the batteries further comprises:

extending tooling into the explosion-proof valve mounting hole and moving the blocking beam to the second predetermined position to limit the batteries and set the batteries to be disposed in the battery compartment.

14. A battery pack, made through the assembly process according to claim 1 .

15. A vehicle, comprising the battery pack according to claim 14 .
