BATTERY HOUSING AND POWER SOURCE
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The disclosure relates to a technical field of plastic housings, and
more
particularly to a battery housing and a power source.
BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, commonly used battery housings are plastic injection
molded.
[0003] The existing plastic battery housings can hold batteries therein to
provide
power source for devices or systems such as caravans, golf carts,
uninterruptible
power systems (USP), and small energy storage systems. When it is required to
fix the plastic battery housing on a wall or other positions, or it is
required to
connect multiple plastic battery housings together for use, in order to fix or

connect the plastic battery housing, it is necessary to perforate the plastic
battery
housing owning to the plastic battery housing being not equipped with mounting

structures. However, perforating the plastic battery housing may result in
weak
structural strength of the plastic battery housing, which may easily lead to
deformation or water leakage of the plastic battery housing. In addition,
connecting structures disposed in holes obtained by perforating the plastic
battery housing are limited by the plastic battery housing and their
self-structures, which results in low torque forces of connections among the
connecting structures and the plastic battery housing. Furthermore, it is easy
to
have "sliding wire" phenomenon when fixing the plastic battery housing, which
causes the plastic battery housing to be not firmly fixed.

metal plates deeply. When a fixing plate or a connecting plate is fixed on a
side
wall through the mounting holes, a metal plate bears a torque force because
the
mounting holes extend into the metal plate. For example, the metal plates are
embedded with screw holes, so that the mounting holes and the screw holes are
connected as a whole structure. Therefore, the first fixing component 51 can
be
disposed on the first mounting holes 1111 to connect the first fixing
component
51 to the first mental plate 21. Since the structural strength of the metal
plate is
higher than that of the plastic housing, the battery housing 1 is not easy to
deform when the metal plate bears the torque force. Therefore, the structural
strength of the battery housing 1 has been greatly improved. In another
embodiment of the disclosure, the first mounting holes and the second mounting

holes can extend into other position according to actual situation. For
example,
the first mounting holes and the second mounting holes can extend through the
entire metal plate, which is not limited herein.
[0040] In an embodiment of the disclosure, as shown in FIG. 3, the multiple
side
walls further include a third side wall 113 and a fourth side wall 114, which
are
disposed opposite to each other, connected between the upper plate 12 and the
bottom plate 13, and connected between the first side wall 111 and the second
side wall 112.
[0041] As shown in FIG. 3, a first extension part 211 and a second extension
part 212 are disposed on opposite ends of the first metal plate 21
respectively;
the first extension part 211 extends from an end of the first metal plate 21
adjacent to the third side wall 113 to an end of the third side wall 113
adjacent to
the first side wall 111; the second extension part 212 extends from another
end
9
22001ZTD-CAP1
Date Recue/Date Received 2022-10-18

of the first metal plate 21 adjacent to the fourth side wall 114 to an end of
the
fourth side wall 114 adjacent to the first side wall 111. The third side wall
113 is
provided with third mounting holes 1131, which extend from an outside of the
third side wall 113 into the first extension part 211; and the fourth side
wall 114
is provided with fourth mounting holes 1141, which extend from an outside of
the fourth side wall 114 into the second extension part 212. The structure of
the
second metal plate 22 is similar to that of the first metal plate 21, which
can be
referred. The first mental plate 21 is provided with the first extension part
211
and the second extension part 212, which are corresponding to the third
mounting holes 1131 and the fourth mounting holes 1141; the third mounting
holes 1131 extend from the outside of the third side wall 113 into the first
extension part 211 and the fourth mounting holes 1141 extend from the outside
of the fourth side wall 114 into the second extension part 212. Therefore,
when
multiple battery housings 1 need to be connected to form a power source with
greater electric power, the connecting plate can be installed on the third
mounting holes 1131 and the fourth mounting holes 1141. At the same time,
since the third mounting holes 1131 and the fourth mounting holes 1141 extend
into the extension parts of the first metal plate 21, the metal plate bears
the
torque force, so that the structural strength of the battery housing 1 is
higher.
The second metal plate 22 is also provided with two extension parts, and the
structure of the second metal plate 22 is symmetrical with that of the first
metal
plate 21. Therefore, the structure of the second mental plate 22 can refer to
that
of the first mental plate 21; the details will not be repeated here.
[0042] As shown in FIG. 3, the multiple metal plates 20 further include a
third
metal plate 23 and a fourth metal plate 24, and the third metal plate 23 is
embedded in another end of the third side wall 113 adjacent to the bottom
plate
13. The fourth metal plate 24 is embedded in another end of the fourth side
wall
114 adjacent to the bottom plate 13. The third side wall 113 is provided with
fifth mounting holes 1132, which extend from the outside of the third side
wall
22001ZTD-CAP1
Date Recue/Date Received 2022-10-18

113 into the third metal plate 23. The fourth side wall 114 is provided with
sixth
mounting holes 1142, which extend from the outside of the fourth side wall 114

into the fourth metal plate 24. Since the mounting holes can extend into the
metal plates, the metal plates bear the torque force of fixation or
connection.
Since the structural strength of the metal plates is higher than that of the
plastic
housing body, when the metal plates bear the torque force, the structure of
the
battery housing 1 is not easy to deform, and the structural strength of the
battery
housing 1 is higher.
[0043] In an embodiment of the disclosure, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, the
battery housing 1 further includes a first fixing component 51, first mounting

components 52 and a second fixing component 53, second mounting
components 54. The first fixing component 51 is provided with first mounting
through-holes 511, and the second fixing component 53 is provided with second
mounting through-holes 531. The first fixing component 51 is abutted against
the first side wall 111, and the first mounting components 52 are successively

penetrated into the first mounting through-holes 511 and the first mounting
holes 1111 to connect the first fixing component 51 to the first side wall
111.
The second fixing component 53 is abutted against the second side wall 112,
and
the second mounting components 54 are successively penetrated into the second
mounting through-holes 531 and the second mounting holes 1121 to connect the
second fixing component 53 to the second sidewall 112.
[0044] In an illustrated embodiment of the disclosure, as shown in FIG. 4, the

first fixing component 51 and the second fixing component 53 are L-shaped
metal plates. The L-shaped metal plate includes a first fixing plate and a
second
fixing plate, which are perpendicular to each other to form an L shape. The
second fixing plate of the first fixing component 51 is provided with the
first
mounting through-holes 511. The second fixing plate of the second fixing
component 53 is provided with the second mounting through-holes 531. Namely,
when the L-shaped metal plate is abutted against the first side wall 111, the
first
11
22001ZTD-CAP1
Date Recue/Date Received 2022-10-18

mounting through-holes 511 are disposed on the second fixing plate. When the
L-shaped metal plate is abutted against the second side wall 112, the second
mounting through holes 531 are disposed on the second fixing plate. The first
fixing plate is provided with a hanging fixing part, which facilitates
carrying or
fixing according to actual needs. When the battery housing 1 needs to be fixed

on the wall or the ground, the hanging fixing part of the first fixing plate
is
provided with a connecting component. For example, the connecting component
can be a screw. When the battery housing 1 needs to be carried, the connecting

component disposed on the hanging fixing part of the first fixing plate can be
a
hanging rope. The first mounting components 52 or the second mounting
components 54 are disposed on the second fixing plate of the L-shaped metal
plate. For example, the first mounting components 52 and the second mounting
components 54 can be screws. The screws are fixed with the first metal plate
21
through the first mounting through-holes 511 and the first mounting holes
1111,
which makes the first fixing component 51 be abutted against the first side
wall
111. Therefore, when the first fixing component 51 is fixed on the first side
wall
111 through the first mounting components 52, the first mental plate 21 bears
the torque force. The connection mode of the second fixing component 53 can
refer to that of the first fixing component 51; the details will not be
repeated
here.
[0045] In an embodiment of the disclosure, as shown in FIG. 3, the battery
housing 1 further includes a third fixing component 61, third mounting
components 62, a fourth fixing component 63 and fourth mounting components
64. The third fixing component 61 is provided with third through-holes 611,
and
the fourth fixing component 63 is provided with fourth through-holes 631. The
third fixing component 61 is abutted against the third side wall 113, and the
third mounting components 62 are successively penetrated into the third
mounting through-holes 611 and the third mounting holes 1131 correspondingly
to connect the third fixing component 61 to the third side wall 113. The
fourth
12
22001ZTD-CAP1
Date Recue/Date Received 2022-10-18

fixing component 63 is abutted against the fourth side wall 114, and the
fourth
mounting components 64 are successively penetrated into the fourth mounting
through-holes 631 and the fourth mounting holes 1141 correspondingly to
connect the fourth fixing component 63 to the fourth side wall 114. For
example,
the third fixing component 61 and the fourth fixing component 63 can be a
fixing plate and the fixing plate can be an L-shaped metal plate. The third
mounting components 62 and the fourth mounting components 64 can be screws.
The connection mode of the third fixing component 61 and the third mounting
components 62, and the connection mode of the fourth fixing component 63 and
the fourth mounting components 64 in the embodiment can refer to the
connection mode of the first fixing component 51 and the first mounting
components 52 above, the details will not be repeated here.
[0046] In an illustrated embodiment of the disclosure, as shown in FIG. 5, the

upper plate 12 is provided with a protruding part 123, and a protruded height
of
the protruding part 123 is higher than that of the first electrode connection
terminal 15 and the second electrode connection terminal 16. In the embodiment

of the disclosure, although the first electrode connection terminal 15 and the

second electrode connection terminal 16 protrude from the upper plate 12, a
protruded height does not exceed that of the protruding part 123. For one
reason,
accidental electric shock can be prevented. When a user accidentally drops
conductive objects onto the upper plate 12 of the battery housing 1, the
conductive objects directly slide out nor reserve on the upper plate 12
because
the protruded height of the protruding part 123 is higher than that of the
first
electrode connection terminal 15 and the second electrode connection terminal
16. Therefore, the user will not be in danger of electric shock when picking
up
the conductive objects due to contact with the first electrode connection
terminal
15 and the second electrode connection terminal 16. For another reason, when
objects fall onto the upper plate 12 of the battery housing 1, the first
electrode
connection terminal 15 and the second electrode connection terminal 16 can be
13
22001ZTD-CAP1
Date Recue/Date Received 2022-10-18

protected from direct collision with the falling objects, which in turn causes

damage to the first electrode connection terminal 15 and the second electrode
connection terminal 16.
[0047] In an illustrated embodiment of the disclosure, as shown in FIG. 4 to
FIG.
5, the protruding part 123 and the upper plate 12 enclose to define a cavity,
which is used to place a battery management chip. The battery management chip
is electrically connected with the battery placed in the holding cavity. The
positive and negative electrodes of the battery are connected with the battery

management chip, and then the battery management chip is electrically
connected with the first electrode connection terminal 15 and the second
electrode connection terminal 16. For example, the battery management chip can

be a battery management system, which is mainly used to detect and control
voltage, current, temperature and other parameters of the battery, and also to

provide low-voltage, overvoltage, overcurrent, short circuit, over
temperature,
low temperature and other protection for the battery. The protruding part 123
is
also provided with a communication port and a switch button. The switch button

is used to control connection and disconnection between the first electrode
connection terminal 15 and the second electrode connection terminal 16 in the
battery housing 1 and the positive and negative electrodes of the battery,
thereby
controlling start or stop of the power source when the battery is installed in
the
battery housing. The communication port is used for communicating with the
battery management chip. For example, the communication port is a serial port,

and the serial port can be a cluster communication port (COM).
[0048] In an illustrated embodiment of the disclosure, as shown in FIG. 6, the

first mounting holes 1111 are disposed on edges of the first side wall 111.
For
example, the first mounting holes 1111 are disposed on four edges of the first

side wall 111, which can meet different needs of the battery housing. For
example, when the user needs to carry the battery housing 1, the first
mounting
holes 1111 can be disposed on the edge of the first side wall 111 adjacent to
the
14
22001ZTD-CAP1
Date Recue/Date Received 2022-10-18

upper plate 12, and then the connecting component is installed on the first
mounting holes 1111. The connecting component is provided with a hanging
part. An assembly of the hanging part, the connecting component and the first
mounting holes makes the battery housing 1 portable. When the battery housing
1 needs to be fixed on the wall, the first mounting holes 1111 can be disposed
on
the edge of the first side wall 111 adjacent to the fourth side wall 114, and
then
the battery housing 1 can be fixed on the wall through a cooperation of the
first
mounting holes 1111 and the fixing component by installing the fixing
component such as the screw on the first mounting holes 1111. Specific
positions of the first mounting holes 1111 can be disposed on different edges
of
the first side wall 111 according to the actual situation, which can meet
different
needs of the user in different scenes.
[0049] In an illustrated embodiment of the disclosure, as shown in FIG. 6 to
FIG.
7, a concave part 1112 is disposed on a middle position of the outside of the
first
side wall 111. The concave part 1112 is provided with seventh mounting holes
1113, which extend from the outside of the first side wall 111 into the first
metal
plate 21. The battery housing 1 further includes a pairing plate 71 and fifth
mounting components 72. The pairing plate 71 is provided with fifth mounting
through-holes 711, which corresponds to the seventh mounting holes 1113. The
fifth mounting components 72 are successively penetrated into the fifth
mounting through-holes 711 and the seventh mounting holes 1113 to connect
the pairing plate 71 to the concave part 1112 of the first side wall 111. In
an
embodiment of the disclosure, the pairing plate 71 can be a rectangular metal
plate, and the fifth mounting components 72 can be screws. In the embodiment
of the disclosure, the pairing plate 71 can be used as an ornament by
installing
the pairing plate 71 on the concave part 1112 of the first side wall 111. When

multiple battery housings 1 need to form an integral structure, the pairing
plate
71 is disposed on the first mounting holes 1111 of the first side walls 111 of
the
multiple battery housings 1. Therefore, two of the multiple battery housings 1
22001ZTD-CAP1
Date Recue/Date Received 2022-10-18

form an integral structure by connecting the pairing plate. At this time, the
pairing plate 71 can be used as the connecting component.
[0050] In an embodiment of the disclosure, the multiple mental plates 20 are
embedded in the multiple side walls 11 to improve the structural strength of
the
multiple side walls 11, thereby improving the overall structural strength of
the
battery housing 1. In an illustrated embodiment of the disclosure, the
protruded
height of the first electrode connection terminal 15 and the second electrode
connection terminal 16 is lower than that of the protruding part 123, which
can
prevent accidental electric shock to protect the first electrode connection
terminal 15 and the second electrode connection terminal 16 from the falling
objects. The embodiment is provided with the first fixing component 51 abutted

against the first side wall 111, the first mounting components 52, the second
fixing component 53 abutted against the second side wall 112, and the second
mounting components 54 to make the battery housing 1 be fixed on the ground
or the wall by the first fixing component 51 and the second fixing component
53.
