DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Detailed description of the embodiments of present disclosure will be made in the following, and examples thereof are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and same or similar reference numerals in all the accompanying drawings indicate same or similar components or components having same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are merely examples to explain the present disclosure and do not limit the present disclosure.

According to a first aspect, the present disclosure provides a battery tray 10. As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 6, the battery tray 10 includes a tray body 100, a first protection plate 300, and a second protection plate 200. The tray body 100 includes a tray bottom plate 101 and a tray side beam 102 located on the tray bottom plate 101, and the tray side beam 102 and the tray bottom plate 101 enclose to form a battery accommodating cavity for accommodating a battery module 20 or a cell. One surface (e.g., a first surface) of the second protection plate 200 is connected/coupled to the tray body 100, and the other surface (e.g., a second surface) is connected/coupled to the first protection plate 300. The first protection plate 300 includes an energy-absorbing plate 302 and covering plates (e.g., high-strength plates 301) located on two sides of the energy-absorbing plate 302. The energy-absorbing plate 302 is in a cellular structure, and the first protection plate 300 is fixed on the tray bottom plate 101. A wave impedance value of the second protection plate 200 is less than a wave impedance value of the high-strength plate 301. That is, the strength of the high-strength plate 301 is higher the strength of the second protection plate 200. In the present disclosure, protection plates with different wave impedance values and structures are used, and the wave impedance value of the second protection plate 200 is configured to be less than the wave impedance value of the high-strength plate 301 of the first protection plate 300. Therefore, when the battery tray 10 is impacted by an obstacle, impact to the battery module 20 in the battery tray 10 can be reduced, thereby improving the anti-impact capability of the battery tray 10.

In an embodiment, based on a principle of stress wave propagation, when an object is under an action of impact energy generated by an impact load, transverse stress wave propagation and longitudinal stress wave propagation are generated on a surface of the object to gradually propagate the impact energy from near to far. In an object having a single material medium, a stress wave generated by the impact energy is divided into transverse propagation and longitudinal propagation. When the surface of the object is impacted by an external object, an impact stress wave is propagated in a direction perpendicular to an impact force (namely, transverse propagation). A higher propagation speed of the stress wave indicates a higher spread speed of the impact energy in this direction, and spread of the impact energy at an impact point is converted from point spreading to surface spreading. When the surface of the object is impacted by the external object, the impact stress wave is propagated in a direction parallel to the impact force (namely, longitudinal propagation). The propagation is gradually attenuated as a propagation distance increases, a greater thickness of a material indicates a better protection effect, and the essence of propagation of the impact stress wave in the material is propagation of vibration of particles of the material led out by the external force from far to near. Damping of the material causes attenuation of the vibration of the particles of the material, and the propagation of the stress wave in the material is attenuated, so that the material has a good anti-vibration capability. Further, greater damping of the material indicates greater attenuation of propagation of the stress wave.

Therefore, based on the foregoing principle, in the present disclosure, the protection plates of the battery tray 10 are divided into two types of protection plates, namely, the first protection plate 300 and the second protection plate 200. As shown in FIG. 2, the first protection plate 300 includes an energy-absorbing plate 302 and high-strength plates 301 located on two sides of the energy-absorbing plate 302. In the present disclosure, an outermost protection plate of the battery tray 10 is designed as the first protection plate 300 in a “sandwich structure”, a protection capability of an outermost layer of the battery tray 10 can be improved, costs and the weight of the tray can be further reduced, and the energy density of a battery pack 1 can be improved. As can be known from the principle of stress wave propagation in an object, in the present disclosure, the anti-impact capability and protection capability of the protection plate are improved by configuring the structure of the first protection plate 300. In the structure design that the first protection plate 300 is designed as a “sandwich structure”, such as the high-strength plate 301, the energy-absorbing plate 302, and the high-strength plate 301. The outermost high-strength plate 301 and the innermost high-strength plate 301 can reduce transverse propagation of the impact stress wave, the intermediate energy-absorbing plate 302 can further increase the entire thickness of the first protection plate 300 to further limit the propagation of the impact stress wave, and the intermediate energy-absorbing plate 302 is designed to be cellular to further attenuate the impact. In an embodiment, the intermediate energy-absorbing plate 302 is designed to be cellular, causing the energy-absorbing plate 302 to have a strong deformation capability. When the impact stress wave is propagated from the high-strength plate 301 to the energy-absorbing plate 302, the cellular energy-absorbing plate 302 is deformed due to the propagated impact of the impact stress wave, absorbs the energy of the impact stress wave, and accelerates the propagation attenuation of the impact stress wave.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the wave impedance value of the second protection plate 200 is configured to be less than the wave impedance value of the high-strength plate 301. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the wave impedance value is related to a density of a material and a propagation speed of a stress wave in the material. A calculation formula of the wave impedance value is: σ = ρ × C; where σ represents a wave impedance value of a medium (material); ρ represents a density of the medium (material); and C represents a propagation speed of a stress wave in the medium (material). When the impact stress wave runs through a material (incident medium) with high wave impedance into a material (transmission medium) with low wave impedance, a ratio of the wave impedance of the incident medium to the wave impedance of the transmission medium is n. Incident and transmission principles of the stress wave on different medium surfaces are as follows:

$\begin{array}{cc}{\sigma }_R=\text{F}{\sigma }_1& \text{­­­(Formula 1)}\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{cc}{\text{v}}_R=-F{v}_1& \text{­­­(Formula 2)}\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{cc}{\sigma }_T=T{\sigma }_1& \text{­­­(Formula 3)}\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{cc}{v}_T=nT{v}_1& \text{­­­(Formula 4)}\end{array}$

In the foregoing formulas, n, F, and T are calculated according to the following formulas.

$\begin{array}{cc}\text{n}={\left({\rho }_1{C}_1\right)}_1/{\left({\rho }_2{C}_2\right)}_2& \text{­­­(Formula 5)}\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{cc}\text{F}=\frac{1-n}{1+n}& \text{­­­(Formula 6)}\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{cc}\text{T}=\frac{2}{1+n}& \text{­­­(Formula 7)}\end{array}$

(ρ₁C₁)₁ is a wave impedance value of the incident medium; (ρ₂C₂)₂ is a wave impedance value of the transmission medium; a ratio of the two values is n; F is a reflection coefficient, and T is a transmission coefficient; σ₁ is a stress value of an incident wave; σ_T is a wave stress value of a transmission wave; and σ_R is a stress value of a reflected wave.

As can be known from Formula 1 to Formula 7, when the wave impedance ratio n is greater than 1, namely, when the wave impedance of the incident medium is greater than the wave impedance of the transmission medium, the reflection coefficient F is negative, which indicates that a reflected wave of the incident medium and the incident wave are in reverse directions, and the incident medium reflects a part of the stress value. When the transmission coefficient T is less than 1, it indicates that the stress value of the transmission wave is less than the stress value of the incident wave, and a larger value of n indicates a smaller stress value of the transmission wave. Therefore, when the stress wave is propagated from a medium with a large wave impedance value to a medium with a small wave impedance value, the stress wave propagated into the medium with a small wave impedance value becomes smaller. Therefore, In an embodiment of the present disclosure, by configuring that the wave impedance value of the high-strength plate 301 is greater than the wave impedance value of the second protection plate 200, after an external object 30 impacts the battery tray 10, it is ensured that propagation of the stress wave can be further reduced.

As can be known from the embodiments of the present disclosure, by arranging the first protection plate 300, and designing the structure of the first protection plate 300 as a sandwich structure, namely, the high-strength plate 301, the energy-absorbing plate 302, and the high-strength plate 301, spreading of the impact stress wave can be reduced. In addition, the structure of the energy-absorbing plate 302 is designed as a cellular structure, thereby further improving absorption of the first protection plate 300 for the impact stress wave of the external object 30. When the impact stress wave of the external object 30 impacting the battery tray 10 runs through the first protection plate 300, the residual impact stress wave can be further reduced after being spread to the second protection plate 200. In addition, the second protection plate 200 has a specific thickness, and propagation of the impact stress wave can be further reduced after the impact stress wave is propagated to the battery module 20. Therefore, influence of the external impact to the battery module 20 is reduced layer by layer. Compared with the battery tray 10 in the related art, the battery tray 10 in an embodiment of the present disclosure can achieve a better protection effect when impacted by the external object 30.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 6, when the battery tray 10 is impacted by a foreign object from the bottom, a transmission direction of an impact stress is: the high-strength plate 301→the energy-absorbing plate 302→the high-strength plate 301→the second protection plate 200. First, the high-strength plate 301 has specific hardness and toughness to prevent the surface of the first protection plate 300 from being damaged. The energy-absorbing plate 302 is then deformed to absorb energy, and the next layer of high-strength plate 301 prevents the first protection plate 300 from being penetrated. The second protection plate 200 finally can spread remaining energy at a point as a stress wave. In this way, energy at a local point can be spread to a large surface, thereby reducing the maximum deformation of the tray and protecting a battery cell.

Further, In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a material of the high-strength plate 301 includes at least one of polypropylene (PP) glass fiber, resin glass fiber, or base fabric. A material of the energy-absorbing plate 302 includes at least one of PP, polyethylene (PE), or metals. According to the present disclosure, the strength and protection capability of the battery tray 10 are further improved by configuring the materials of the high-strength plate 301 and the energy-absorbing plate 302. In an embodiment, when the material of the high-strength plate 301 is PP glass fiber (or may be another material described above), the PP glass fiber layer prevents the PP glass fiber plate from being penetrated when the first protection plate 300 is impacted.

Further, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, a material of the second protection plate 200 is a foaming material. An objective of selecting the foaming material lies in that a plurality of pores are provided inside the foaming material, and a texture of the material is softer than that of metals. Therefore, when the material is impacted, an impact force is spread as a stress wave to spread the force. In an embodiment, the material of the second protection plate 200 is polyurethane.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, to further reduce costs of the battery tray 10, a lightweight battery tray 10 is implemented. The second protection plate 200 is provided with a plurality of spaced through holes 201, a length of each of the spaced through holes 201 ranges from greater than about 0 mm to about 100 mm, and a distance between two adjacent spaced through holes 201 ranges from about 50 mm to about 100 mm. In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, a length b of each of the spaced through holes 201 ranges from greater than about 0 mm to about 100 mm, and a distance a between two adjacent spaced through holes 201 ranges from about 50 mm to about 100 mm. A direction of the length of each spaced through hole 201 is not limited and the shape of each spaced through hole 201 is also not limited. As shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 4A, and FIG. 4B, the spaced through hole 201 may be in a shape of a rectangle, a square, or a circle. In addition, the quantity of the spaced through holes 201 is also not limited. By providing the spaced through holes 201 in the second protection plate 200, and configuring the length and arrangement positions of the spaced through holes 201 (namely, configuring the distance between two adjacent spaced through holes 201), the bottom protection requirement of the battery tray 10 on the second protection plate 200 is implemented, and costs of the second protection plate 200 is further reduced, thereby implementing a lightweight design of the battery tray 10.

In addition, providing the spaced through holes 201 in the second protection plate 200 can further improve the protection capability of the battery tray 10. In an embodiment, when the second protection plate 200 is provided with the plurality of spaced through holes 201 at intervals, after the external object impacts the first protection plate 300, if a stress propagated from the first protection plate 300 to the second protection plate 200 is exactly located in the spaced through holes 201, since no medium is in the spaced through holes 201, the impact stress may be spread to the second protection plate 200 on two sides of the spaced through holes 201, namely, spread from one stress propagation point to two stress propagation surfaces, thereby improving the propagation efficiency of the stress wave and improving the protection capability of the battery tray 10. In the related art, in the battery tray 10, the stress wave is spread from one force bearing point to one force bearing surface. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, by providing the spaced through holes 201 in the second protection plate 200, the stress wave is spread from one force bearing point to two force bearing surfaces, thereby improving the efficiency of the transverse propagation of the stress wave in the second protection plate 200, and further improving the protection capability of the battery tray 10.

To further improve the protection capability of the second protection plate 200, the length b of the spaced through hole 201 of the second protection plate 200 is configured to range from about 25 mm to about 50 mm. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a ball strike test is performed on the battery tray 10, and the data of the test indicates that, after the battery tray 10 is provided with the second protection plate 200 with the foregoing spaced through holes, a recess of the battery tray 10 after the ball strike test is small and hard to measure. A recess of a battery tray 10 without a groove is 2.1 mm. In the ball strike test, an impact head with a diameter φ of 20 mm and a weight of 10 kg is used to strike an external object at a speed of 5 m/s to impact the second protection plate 200. As can be known from the above, after the spaced through holes 201 with the predetermined gap are provided in the second protection plate 200, the protection capability of the second protection plate is further improved, and the lightweight design of the battery tray 10 is implemented and the energy density of the battery pack 1 is improved.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 5, the tray body 100 includes a tray bottom plate 101. The tray bottom plate 101 is provided with a bottom plate groove 1011, and the second protection plate 200 is arranged in the bottom plate groove 1011. In addition, the second protection plate 200 and the first protection plate 300 may be bonded to the tray body 100 through an adhesive. In an embodiment, one surface of the second protection plate 200 is bonded to the bottom plate groove 1011 of the tray bottom plate 101, and the other surface of the second protection plate 200 is bonded to the first protection plate 300. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, if bonding is performed through an insulating adhesive, the second protection plate 200 and the first protection plate 300 may be bonded to the tray body 100 in a better manner, and the protection capability of the battery tray 10 can also be improved, thereby effectively alleviating the impact force on the tray and further reducing the influence on the battery module 20 or the cell. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, arranging the second protection plate 200 in the groove of the battery tray 10 further implements the lightweight design of the battery tray 10. Further, the first protection plate 300 covers the bottom plate groove 1011 and is fixed on the tray bottom plate 101 through rivets.

According to a second aspect, the present disclosure discloses a battery pack 1. The battery pack 1 includes the battery tray 10 described above and a plurality of battery modules 20 or cells, and the plurality of battery modules 20 or cells are located in the battery accommodating cavity.
