Integrated high-voltage battery case
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to an integrated high-voltage battery housing. More particularly, it relates to an integrated high-voltage battery housing adapted to secure safety against side impact collisions while reducing the weight of a vehicle by integrating a connecting structure between a battery housing and a side member of a chassis of the vehicle. In particular, the integrated high-voltage battery housing includes: a bottom housing configured to receive a battery; a battery fixing bracket configured to fix the battery to a top surface of the bottom housing; and a plurality of flanges extending from an upper end edge of a side wall of the bottom housing and each having a coupling aperture for coupling the flange to a chassis side member. A protruding reinforcing portion extends transversely between opposite sides of the bottom housing on a bottom surface of the bottom housing.
1. An integrated high-voltage battery housing comprising:
a bottom housing configured to receive a battery;
a battery fixing bracket configured to fix the battery to a top surface of the bottom housing; and
a plurality of flanges extending from an upper end edge of a side wall of the bottom housing, each flange having a coupling aperture allowing the flange to be coupled to a chassis side member,
wherein a protruding reinforcing portion extends transversely between opposite sides of the bottom housing on a bottom surface of the bottom housing, and is formed as a depression in the bottom surface of the bottom housing,
wherein the battery fixing bracket has a bar-like shape that extends to opposite sides of the bottom housing and has an upwardly protruding protrusion,
wherein the protrusion of the battery fixing bracket is disposed directly above the protrusion of the reinforcing portion,
wherein the protrusion of the battery fixing bracket is overlapped with the protrusion of the reinforcing portion to form a space therebetween.
2. The integrated high-voltage battery housing of claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing portion is formed transversely between the flanges formed on opposite sides of the bottom housing to face each other.
3. The integrated high-voltage battery housing of claim 1 , further comprising a support bracket, opposite ends of which are coupled to a side portion of the bottom surface of the bottom housing and the flange such that the support bracket is bent.
4. The integrated high-voltage battery housing of claim 1 , further comprising a support plate disposed in a position where the coupling aperture of the flange is formed.
5. An integrated high-voltage battery housing comprising:
a housing configured to receive a battery;
a bracket configured to fix the battery to a top surface of the housing; and
a plurality of flanges extending from an upper end edge of a side wall of the housing, each flange having an aperture allowing the flange to be coupled to a chassis,
wherein a protruding reinforcing portion extends transversely between opposite sides of the housing on a bottom surface of the housing, and is formed as a depression in the bottom surface of the bottom housing
wherein the bracket has a bar-like shape that extends to opposite sides of the housing and has an upwardly protruding protrusion,
wherein the protrusion of the bracket is disposed directly above the protrusion of the reinforcing portion,
wherein the protrusion of the battery fixing bracket is overlapped with the protrusion of the reinforcing portion to form a space therebetween.
6. The integrated high-voltage battery housing of claim 5 , wherein the reinforcing portion is formed transversely between the flanges formed on opposite sides of the housing to face each other.
7. The integrated high-voltage battery housing of claim 5 , further comprising a support bracket, opposite ends of which are coupled to a side portion of the bottom surface of the bottom housing and the flange formed such that the support bracket is bent.
8. The integrated high-voltage battery housing of claim 5 , further comprising a support plate disposed in a position where the coupling aperture of the flange is formed.
