Abstract

A battery box and a battery pack are provided. The battery box includes a box body, a cooling plate, and a stiffener. The cooling plate is connected with an outside of a wall plate of the box body, and the stiffener is connected with the box body and abuts against a side of the cooling plate away from the wall plate. The cooling plate is connected with the box body, the stiffener is connected with the box body, and the stiffener abuts against the side of the cooling plate away from the wall plate.

Claims (31)

1. A battery box, comprising:

a box body;

a cooling plate connected with an outside of a wall plate of the box body; and

a stiffener connected with the box body and abutting against a side of the cooling plate away from the wall plate, wherein

the box body is provided with a lifting lug, the wall plate is provided with a connecting portion, the connecting portion is connected with an end of the lifting lug to form a lifting ring, and the stiffener is connected with the connecting portion,

wherein the connecting portion is integrated with the lifting lug, and

wherein the lifting lug protrudes from a side wall of the box body, one part of the lifting lug is bent towards the stiffener, the other part of the lifting lug is bent towards the box body and connected to the connecting portion.

2. The battery box of claim 1 , wherein the cooling plate defines grooves at the side of the cooling plate away from the box body, and the stiffener is provided with convex portions in fit with the grooves, and the convex portions extend into the grooves respectively and abut against at least part of inner side surfaces of the grooves.

3. The battery box of claim 1 , wherein the cooling plate has convex portions at the side of the cooling plate away from the box body, and the stiffener defines grooves in fit with the convex portions, and the convex portions extend into the grooves respectively and abut against at least part of inner side surfaces of the grooves.

4. The battery box of claim 2 , wherein a number of the convex portions is less than or equal to a number of the grooves.

5. The battery box of claim 1 , wherein a surface of the cooling plate away from the box body is a flat surface.

6. The battery box of claim 5 , wherein the stiffener is not provided with convex portions and directly abuts against the flat surface of the cooling plate; or the stiffener is provided with the convex portions and abuts against the flat surface of the cooling plate through the convex portions.

7. The battery box of claim 1 , wherein the stiffener is in surface contact with a surface of the cooling plate away from the wall plate.

8. The battery box of claim 1 , wherein a surface of the stiffener facing the cooling plate is a curved surface or a flat surface.

9. The battery box of claim 1 , further comprising:

a heat insulation layer being connected with the side of the cooling plate away from the wall plate and abutting against the stiffener.

10. The battery box of claim 1 , wherein the stiffener is implemented as a plurality of stiffeners arranged at intervals.

11. The battery box of claim 1 , wherein the stiffener is implemented as three or more stiffeners, two stiffeners abut against two ends of the cooling plate respectively, and rest of stiffeners are connected with a middle of the cooling plate.

12. The battery box of claim 1 , wherein the stiffener has two opposite ends located at two sides of the cooling plate respectively and each connected with the wall plate.

13. The battery box of claim 1 , wherein the stiffener is plate-like, and a surface of the stiffener away from the wall plate is parallel to the wall plate.

14. A battery pack, comprising:

a battery module; and

the battery box of claim 1 , wherein the battery module is mounted in the battery box.

15. The battery pack of claim 14 , wherein the cooling plate defines grooves at the side of the cooling plate away from the box body, and the stiffener is provided with convex portions in fit with the grooves, and the convex portions extend into the grooves respectively and abut against at least part of inner side surfaces of the grooves.

16. The battery pack of claim 14 , wherein the cooling plate has convex portions at the side of the cooling plate away from the box body, and the stiffener defines grooves in fit with the convex portions, and the convex portions extend into the grooves respectively and abut against at least part of inner side surfaces of the grooves.

17. The battery pack of claim 15 , wherein a number of the convex portions is less than or equal to a number of the grooves.

18. The battery pack of claim 14 , wherein a surface of the cooling plate away from the box body is a flat surface.

19. The battery pack of claim 14 , wherein the connecting portion is integrated with the lifting lug.

20. The battery box of claim 1 , wherein the lifting lug defines a hole, and the lifting lug is configured to be lifted through the hole to lift the battery box.

21. The battery pack of claim 19 , wherein the lifting lug protrudes from a side wall of the box body, one part of the lifting lug is bent towards the stiffener, the other part of the lifting lug is bent towards the box body and connected to the connecting portion.

22. The battery pack of claim 21 , wherein the lifting lug defines a hole, and the lifting lug is configured to be lifted through the hole to lift the battery box.
