BATTERY PACK AND VEHICLE
This application relates to a battery pack and a vehicle. The battery pack includes a box and a cell module. The box contains a cavity with an opening on one side. The cell module is accommodated in the cavity. A plurality of limiting grooves are spaced apart on an inner sidewall of the cavity. Convex ribs in one-to-one correspondence with and in fit with the limiting grooves are disposed on an outer sidewall of the cell module. A potting clearance that communicates with the opening is defined by a part of the inner sidewall of the cavity and a part of the outer sidewall of the cell module. The part of the inner sidewall of the cavity is configured to avoid the limiting grooves, and the part of the outer sidewall of the cell module is configured to avoid the convex ribs.
1 . A battery pack, comprising:
a box, having a cavity with an opening on one side; and
a cell module, accommodated in the cavity;
wherein
a plurality of limiting grooves are spaced apart on an inner sidewall of the cavity, and convex ribs in one-to-one correspondence with and in fit with the limiting grooves are disposed on an outer sidewall of the cell module; and
a potting clearance that communicates with the opening is defined by a part of the inner sidewall of the cavity and a part of the outer sidewall of the cell module, wherein the part of the inner sidewall of the cavity is configured to avoid the limiting grooves, and the part of the outer sidewall of the cell module is configured to avoid the convex ribs.
2 . The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein
the inner sidewall of the cavity comprises at least two groups of sidewalls opposite to each other; and
the limiting groove is made on at least one group of sidewalls opposite to each other.
3 . The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein a width of the potting clearance is 3 to 5 mm.
4 . The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein
the inner sidewall of the cavity comprises a first sidewall and a second sidewall disposed opposite to each other along a first direction;
a plurality of the limiting grooves are made on the first sidewall and the second sidewall separately and spaced apart along a second direction;
a plurality of the convex ribs spaced apart are correspondingly disposed on two opposite sides of the cell module separately; and
the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other and both parallel to a plane in which the opening is located.
5 . The battery pack according to claim 4 , wherein
at least one first sealant strip is disposed on two sides of the cell module along the first direction separately; and
each first sealant strip is located on one side of a corresponding convex rib along the second direction.
6 . The battery pack according to claim 5 , wherein
two first sealant strips are disposed on the two sides of the cell module along the first direction separately; and
among a plurality of convex ribs on a same side, a first sealant strip is disposed on one side of each of two convex ribs that are located outermost along the second direction, and the side of one of the two convex ribs is away from the side of the other convex rib.
7 . The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein
a plurality of limiting convex strip groups are disposed on the inner sidewall of the cavity; and
two limiting convex strips in each group and the inner sidewall of the cavity define the limiting groove.
8 . The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein
the box comprises a bottom plate opposite to the opening; and
second sealant strips located between the bottom plate and the limiting groove and arranged along a second direction are disposed at two ends of the bottom plate along a first direction.
9 . The battery pack according to claim 8 , wherein a width of the second sealant strip along the first direction is greater than a width of the potting clearance.
10 . A vehicle, comprising the battery pack according to claim 1 .
