Referring to fig. 1 to 3, a housing assembly 10 of the present application is applied to an energy storage power source 100 (shown in fig. 8), and the housing assembly 10 includes a first shell 11 and a second shell 13. The first housing 11 is provided with a first connection 111, the first connection 111 being located within the first housing 11. The second case 13 is provided with a second connection member 131 corresponding to the first connection member 111, and the second connection member 131 is located in the second case 13. The first connector 111 is in plug-in engagement with the second connector 131 along the first direction X to restrict relative movement of the first and second cases 11 and 13 in directions other than the first direction X, and to combine the first and second cases 11 and 13 to form the accommodating space 101.

In the housing assembly 10 of the application, the first shell 11 and the second shell 13 are spliced and matched through the first connecting piece 111 and the second connecting piece 131, so that the first shell 11 and the second shell 13 can be prevented from being directly fixedly connected by screws, and the mounting cost is reduced while the first shell 11 and/or the second shell 13 are prevented from cracking. The first connecting piece 111 and the second connecting piece 131 are installed in a plugging and matching mode simply and easily detached, and the structure of the energy storage power supply 100 in the shell assembly 10 is convenient to replace and repair.

The housing assembly 10 is further described below with reference to the drawings.

Referring to fig. 2 and 3, in some embodiments, the housing assembly 10 includes a first wall 1001 and a second wall 1002 opposite to each other, and a first face 1003, a second face 1004, a third face 1005, and a fourth face 1006 connected to the first wall 1001 of the housing assembly 10 and the second wall 1002 of the housing assembly 10, respectively, wherein the first face 1003 is opposite to the second face 1004, and the third face 1005 is opposite to the fourth face 1006. With reference to the case assembly 10, the first direction X may be a direction in which the first surface 1003 points to the second surface 1004 (a direction X2 opposite to the first direction), or a direction in which the second surface 1004 points to the first surface 1003 (a forward direction X1 of the first direction). The second direction Y may be a direction in which the third surface 1005 points to the fourth surface 1006, or may be a direction in which the fourth surface 1006 points to the third surface 1005. The third direction Z may be a direction in which the first wall 1001 of the housing assembly 10 is directed toward the second wall 1002 of the housing assembly 10, or may be a direction in which the second wall 1002 of the housing assembly 10 is directed toward the first wall 1001 of the housing assembly 10. The first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other.

Specifically, in some embodiments, the first and second cases 11 and 13 are structures that can be butted and combined with each other. Wherein, along the first direction X, the first shell 11 and the second shell 13 can together form a first face 1003 of the housing assembly 10 and a second face 1004 of the housing assembly 10. Along the third direction Z, the first shell 11 and the second shell 13 can together form a first wall 1001 of the housing assembly 10 and a second wall 1002 of the housing assembly 10. The third surface 1005 is disposed on a side of the second casing 13 away from the first casing 11, and the fourth surface 1006 is disposed on a side of the first casing 11 away from the second casing 13. In the case where the first case 11 and the second case 13 are butted and combined, the first case 11 and the second case 13 enclose to form the accommodating space 101. The receiving space 101 within the housing assembly 10 can be used to receive other components of the stored energy power source 100 (shown in fig. 8), such as: battery assembly 20, control assembly, or heat sink assembly, etc. Other components of the stored energy power source 100 can be connected to an external power source via the housing assembly 10 to charge the stored energy power source 100. Other components of the stored energy power source 100 can also be electrically connected to an external electrical consumer via the housing assembly 10 to power the electrical consumer. The material of the housing assembly 10 includes, but is not limited to, an insulating material such as plastic, silicone, or resin, so as to avoid the energizing element of the energy storage power supply 100 disposed in the housing assembly 10 from conducting electricity through the housing assembly 10, and to avoid the danger to the user when the user uses the energy storage power supply 100.

More specifically, in certain embodiments, the first shell 11 includes a first bonding surface 1101 opposite the second shell 13, and the second shell 13 includes a second bonding surface 1301 opposite the first bonding surface 1101. In the second direction Y, the first bonding surface 1101 is opposite to the fourth surface 1006, and the second bonding surface 1301 is opposite to the third surface 1005. In the case that the splicing of the first case 11 and the second case 13 is completed, the first bonding surface 1101 and the second bonding surface 1301 can interfere with each other to tightly connect the first case 11 and the second case 13. Therefore, foreign substances such as external liquid and dust are not easy to enter the accommodating space 101 from the joint of the first shell 11 and the second shell 13, and the corrosion of the components in the housing assembly 10 or the influence of heat dissipation of the components in the housing assembly 10 are avoided. In some embodiments, the first bonding surface 1101 and the second bonding surface 1301 are identical in shape and area, and the first bonding surface 1101 and the second bonding surface 1301 can completely coincide when the first shell 11 and the second shell 13 are spliced. In other embodiments, the first bonding surface 1101 and the second bonding surface 1301 are different in at least one of shape and area, and the first bonding surface 1101 and the second bonding surface 1301 can partially overlap when the first case 11 and the second case 13 are completely spliced.

Referring to fig. 2 and 3, in some embodiments, the first connecting member 111 and the second connecting member 131 are configured to be capable of being plugged with each other along the first direction X. In some embodiments, a portion of the structure of the first connector 111 can extend into a portion of the structure of the second connector 131. In other embodiments, a portion of the structure of the second connector 131 can extend into a portion of the structure of the first connector 111. The materials of the first connector 111 and the second connector 131 may be the same or different. For example: the material of the first connector 111 and/or the second connector 131 includes, but is not limited to, metal, plastic, silicone, resin, or the like.

Further, referring to fig. 4, in some embodiments, the first connector 111 and the second connector 131 can be mated in the first direction X. At this time, taking the example that the shape and the area of the first bonding surface 1101 and the second bonding surface 1301 are the same: in the process of installing the first shell 11 and the second shell 13, the user moves the first shell 11 or the second shell 13 relatively along the second direction Y, and makes the first combining surface 1101 of the first shell 11 and the second combining surface 1301 of the second shell 13 first collide with each other but do not completely coincide with each other. At this time, the first and second connection members 111 and 131 are located in the accommodating space 101, and the first and second connection members 111 and 131 are staggered from each other in the first direction X and sequentially arranged along the first direction X. Then, the user can push either the first shell 11 or the second shell 13 along the first direction X to plug the first connector 111 and the second connector 131, and at this time, the first bonding surface 1101 and the second bonding surface 1301 can completely overlap.

Referring to fig. 2 to 4, in some embodiments, each of the first connector 111 and the second connector 131 includes at least two. In some embodiments, the first connector 111 is disposed on opposite sides of the first housing 11 and the second connector 131 is disposed on opposite sides of the second housing 13 along the third direction Z of the housing assembly 10.

Specifically, in some embodiments, the first connecting piece 111 includes a first extension 1111 and a first connecting portion 1113, and the first connecting portion 1113 is disposed on the first extension 1111 and located on a side of the first extension 1111 away from the fourth surface 1006. Wherein the first extension 1111 is used to connect the first connection portion 1113 to the inner wall of the first housing 11. The second connecting piece 131 includes a second extending portion 1311 and a second connecting portion 1313 that are connected to each other, where the second connecting portion 1313 is disposed on the second extending portion 1311 and located on a side of the second extending portion 1311 away from the fourth surface 1006. The second extension portion 1311 is configured to connect the second connection portion 1313 to the inner wall of the second housing 13, and the second connection portion 1313 is configured to be in plug-fit with the first connection portion 1113.

More specifically, in the third direction Z, the first extension 1111 is provided on the inner wall of the first housing 11 and extends from the inner wall of the first housing 11 into the accommodating space 101 such that the first connection portion 1113 is closer to the center position of the first housing 11 with respect to the first coupling surface 1101 in the third direction Z. The second extension portion 1311 is disposed on the inner wall of the second housing 13 and extends from the inner wall of the second housing 13 into the accommodating space 101, so that the second connection portion 1313 is closer to the center position of the second housing 13 in the third direction Z relative to the second joint surface 1301. The first extension portion 1111 and the second extension portion 1311, which are respectively extended toward the central position of the accommodating space 101, can ensure that the coupling position of the first connection portion 1113 and the second connection portion 1313 can be located within the accommodating space 101.

In particular, taking as an example a case where the first connector 111 and the second connector 131 can be mated in the first direction X: in some embodiments, in the first direction X, the first connection portion 1113 is a protrusion protruding with respect to the first extension 1111, and the second connection portion 1313 is a recess capable of mating with the protrusion. When the first housing 11 and the second housing 13 are mounted, the first connection portion 1113 extends into the second connection portion 1313. In the case where the first and second cases 11 and 13 have a moving tendency in other directions than the first direction X, the outer wall of the first connection portion 1113 can collide with the inner wall of the second connection portion 1313 to prevent the relative movement of the first and second cases 11 and 13. In one example, the first connection portion 1113 extends from the first extension 1111 in the positive direction X1 of the first direction X, and at this time, the first housing 11 can move relative to the second housing 13 in the positive direction X1 of the first direction X, so that the first connection portion 1113 is plugged with the second connection portion 1313. In another example, the first connection portion 1113 extends from the first extension 1111 in the opposite direction X2 of the first direction X, and at this time, the first housing 11 can move relative to the second housing 13 in the opposite direction X2 of the first direction X, so that the first connection portion 1113 is plugged with the second connection portion 1313. In other embodiments, in the first direction X, the second connection portion 1313 is a protrusion protruding relative to the second extension portion 1311, and the first connection portion 1113 is a recess capable of mating with the protrusion. When the first housing 11 and the second housing 13 are mounted, the second connection portion 1313 protrudes into the first connection portion 1113. In the case where the first and second cases 11 and 13 have a moving tendency in other directions than the first direction X, the outer wall of the second connection portion 1313 can collide with the inner wall of the first connection portion 1113 to prevent the relative movement of the first and second cases 11 and 13. In one example, the second connection portion 1313 extends from the second extension portion 1311 in the positive direction X1 of the first direction X, and at this time, the second housing 13 is movable relative to the first housing 11 in the positive direction X1 of the first direction X so that the first connection portion 1113 is inserted into the second connection portion 1313. In another example, the second connecting portion 1313 extends from the second extending portion 1311 in the opposite direction X2 of the first direction X, and at this time, the second housing 13 can move relative to the first housing 11 in the opposite direction X2 of the first direction X to allow the first connecting portion 1113 to mate with the second connecting portion 1313.

In particular also, in some embodiments, in the second direction Y, the first connection portion 1113 protrudes with respect to the first bonding surface 1101, at which time the second connection portion 1313 does not protrude beyond the second bonding surface 1301, so that the first connection portion 1113 can extend into the second housing 13 and be in a mating engagement with the second connection portion 1313. In other embodiments, in the second direction Y, the second connection portion 1313 protrudes with respect to the second bonding surface 1301, such that the first connection portion 1113 does not protrude beyond the first bonding surface 1101, such that the second connection portion 1313 can extend into the first housing 11 and be mated with the first connection portion 1113.

Further, in some embodiments, the first connection member 111 may further include a first reinforcing portion 1115, where the first reinforcing portion 1115 is disposed at the first extension portion 1111 and connected to the inner wall of the first housing 11. The first reinforcing portion 1115 is configured to support the first connecting portion 1113 and/or the first extension portion 1111, increase the strength of the first connecting member 111, improve the connection stability between the first connecting member 111 and the first housing 11, and avoid fracture at the connection between the first connecting member 111 and the first housing 11. The number of the first reinforcing parts 1115 may be 1, 2, 3, or the like, without limitation.

Still further, in some embodiments, the second connecting member 131 may further include a second reinforcing portion 1315, and the second reinforcing portion 1315 is provided at the second connecting portion 1313 and connected to the inner wall of the second case 13. The second reinforcement portion 1315 is configured to support the second connection portion 1313 and/or the second extension portion 1311, increase strength of the second connection member 131, improve connection stability between the second connection member 131 and the second housing 13, and avoid breakage of a connection portion between the second connection member 131 and the second housing 13. The number of the second reinforcement parts 1315 may be 1, 2, 3, or the like, which is not limited herein.

Referring to fig. 2 to 4, in some embodiments, along the first direction X, at least one side of the first shell 11 may further be provided with a first mounting portion 1103, and a side of the second shell 13 corresponding to the first mounting portion 1103 may further be provided with a second mounting portion 1303, where the first mounting portion 1103 and the second mounting portion 1303 are both in a strip structure extending along the second direction Y. When the first case 11 is attached to the second case 13, one side of the first attaching portion 1103 can abut one side of the second attaching portion 1303, and the first attaching portion 1103 and the second attaching portion 1303 are arranged in order along the first direction X.

Further, in some embodiments, the first mounting portion 1103 and the second mounting portion 1303 each comprise at least two. The first mounting portions 1103 are provided on opposite sides of the first casing 11 along the first direction X of the casing assembly 10, and the second mounting portions 1303 are provided on opposite sides of the second casing 13.

In some embodiments, along the first direction X, the second mounting portion 1303 on one side (right side as shown in fig. 4) and the first mounting portion 1103 on the same side are closer to the central position of the accommodating space 101, and the second mounting portion 1303 on the other side (left side as shown in fig. 4) and the first mounting portion 1103 on the same side are further from the central position of the accommodating space 101. In other embodiments, the first mounting portions 1103 on both sides are closer to the center position of the accommodating space 101 than the second mounting portions 1303 on the same side. In still other embodiments, the first mounting portions 1103 on both sides are farther from the center position of the accommodating space 101 than the second mounting portions 1303 on the same side.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, in some embodiments, the housing assembly 10 may further include a fastener 15. The fixing member 15 can be used to connect the first mounting portion 1103 and the second mounting portion 1303 corresponding to each other, and since the first mounting portion 1103 can abut against the second mounting portion 1303 in the first direction X, after the fixing member 15 connects and fixes the positions of the first mounting portion 1103 and the second mounting portion 1303 in the first direction X, the fixing member 15 can prevent the first mounting portion 1103 from separating from the second mounting portion 1303, and thereby restrict the relative movement of the first case 11 and the second case 13 in all directions. In this application, the fixing member 15 is a screw.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, in some embodiments, along the first direction X, at least one side of the first shell 11 is provided with a first through hole 102, and a side of the second shell 13 corresponding to the first through hole 102 is provided with a second through hole 103, where the first through hole 102 and the second through hole 103 together form a mounting opening 104. The mounting port 104 can be used to view the interior of the housing assembly 10 for timely maintenance or replacement of components should the stored energy power source 100 (shown in fig. 8) fail. The first mounting portion 1103, the second mounting portion 1303, and the fixing member 15 face the mounting port 104, and therefore the fixing member 15 can be mounted to the first mounting portion 1103 and the second mounting portion 1303 via the mounting port 104.
