Battery Bracket

Introduction to battery bracket
1、 General Overview
The battery bracket is a structural part used to fix and support the battery (battery), which is widely used in various vehicles, mechanical equipment, electric energy storage system, UPS power supply, solar energy system and other fields. The battery bracket is mainly used to stabilize the battery position and prevent the battery from being displaced or damaged due to vibration or impact during transportation and use, so as to ensure the normal operation and service life of the battery. The battery rack shall not only have stability and durability, but also shall take into account the heat dissipation, ventilation, safety and other factors of the battery.
With the progress of battery technology, especially the improvement of battery performance requirements for new energy vehicles, electric tools, energy storage systems, etc., the battery bracket is also in continuous development, and the material, design, function and other aspects have been optimized and innovated. Modern battery supports not only provide more diversified shapes, but also provide more personalized options in terms of performance to adapt to different types and specifications of batteries.
2、 Function and function of battery support
Fixed battery
The most basic function of the battery bracket is to fix the battery firmly in the predetermined position to prevent displacement, vibration or tilt of the battery during operation. This is very important to ensure the normal operation of the battery, extend the battery life and ensure the stable connection between the battery and the circuit system.
Protection of batteries
The battery bracket can effectively absorb external vibration and impact, so as to reduce the mechanical damage to the battery. Especially in high vibration environment such as automobile and rail transit, the battery bracket can play a buffering role and reduce the risk of battery damage.
Ventilation and heat dissipation
In some high-power battery systems, the battery will generate a certain amount of heat during charging and discharging. The battery support is usually designed with vents or heat sink to help the battery dissipate heat, keep the temperature stable during operation of the battery and prevent performance degradation or safety accidents caused by overheating.
Improve safety
Through reasonable design, the battery support can prevent the battery from short circuit or contact with other objects, thus avoiding battery leakage, fire and other hazards. In addition, the battery bracket can also avoid the potential safety hazards caused by collision or improper operation during transportation or movement of the battery by fixing the battery.
Easy battery replacement and maintenance
Disassembly and installation of battery are generally considered in the design of battery bracket. Reasonable bracket structure can facilitate the replacement and maintenance of battery, especially when the battery needs regular inspection, charging or replacement, the bracket design can provide convenience.
3、 Type of battery support
There are many different types of battery supports in terms of design and structure according to different application requirements and battery types. Common battery support types include:
Automobile battery bracket
Automobile battery bracket is the most common type of battery bracket, which is usually used to fix automobile battery. The battery bracket of the vehicle needs to have a strong anti-seismic capacity to cope with the vibration of the vehicle during driving. At the same time, the design of automobile battery bracket is generally compact, easy to install, and has a certain anti-corrosion performance to adapt to different climate conditions.
Energy storage battery bracket
The energy storage battery bracket is mainly used in the electric energy storage system, especially in the energy storage system of solar energy, wind energy and other renewable energy sources. The design of such supports shall take into account the heat dissipation and ventilation of the battery and the neat arrangement of the battery pack so that the system can operate stably for a long time.
Lead-acid battery bracket
Lead-acid battery bracket is generally used in UPS power supply, communication base station, electric forklift and other fields. The key point of lead-acid battery bracket design is to consider the stability and safety of the battery, and the bracket is required to have corrosion resistance and good bearing capacity.
Lithium battery bracket
The lithium battery bracket is mainly used in various electric tools, electronic equipment, electric vehicles and other fields. The light weight and high efficiency of the lithium battery require the bracket to have a more elaborate design. Generally, the lithium battery bracket is made of lightweight materials, with simple structure and easy removal.
Solar energy storage battery bracket
The battery support used in the solar energy storage system shall be corrosion resistant, waterproof, high temperature resistant and UV resistant. These supports are usually made of aluminum alloy, stainless steel, etc. to adapt to long-term outdoor exposure.
Rail transit battery bracket
In rail transit systems such as electric trains and metros, battery supports are used to fix high capacity power cells. These supports are required to maintain battery stability and safety under high mechanical stress and vibration environment.
4、 Material of battery support
The material of battery support directly affects its strength, durability, weight and cost. Common battery support materials are as follows:
steels
Steel is a common material for manufacturing battery bracket, with high strength and stability. Common steels include cold rolled steel, stainless steel and galvanized steel, etc., with excellent bearing capacity and corrosion resistance. Steel supports are usually used in the scenes requiring large supporting force, such as automobile, electric forklift and UPS power supply.
aluminium alloy
As a light material, aluminum alloy is widely used in the manufacture of lithium battery bracket and portable battery bracket. Aluminum alloy bracket not only has strong corrosion resistance, but also has a relatively light weight, suitable for occasions with high requirements on bracket weight, such as mobile power supply, electric tools, etc.
Plastics and Engineering Plastics
Plastic brackets are usually used in some small equipment or household appliances, such as small UPS power supply, wireless equipment, etc. Engineering plastics (such as nylon and ABS) have good electrical insulation, corrosion resistance and impact resistance, and are suitable for supporting portable batteries.
composite material
In recent years, composite materials (such as carbon fiber, glass fiber reinforced plastics, etc.) have been gradually used in the manufacture of high-end battery supports. Composite materials are characterized by high strength, light weight, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, etc. and are suitable for high-end application scenarios with strict requirements on weight and performance.
5、 Key design points of battery support
Reasonable dimension and structure design
The dimensions and structural design of the battery bracket must match the battery specifications to ensure that the battery can be stably installed in the bracket. Supports shall have suitable support points and skid resistant design to prevent batteries from sliding or tilting during use.
Corrosion protection design
The battery support is often exposed to severe environment (such as moisture, high temperature, etc.), so the anti-corrosion design is very important. The support material shall have strong corrosion resistance or be coated with anti-corrosion coating to extend the service life of the support.
Heat dissipation performance
The battery will generate a certain amount of heat during charging and discharging, and the battery support shall have a good heat dissipation design to prevent performance degradation or safety hazards caused by excessive battery temperature. In the support design, ventilation holes, heat sink and other means are often used to optimize the heat dissipation effect.
Safety and security
The battery support shall be designed with sufficient strength and stability to prevent the battery from falling off or being damaged under severe vibration or impact. In addition, the bracket shall avoid contact with the battery port to prevent short circuit and other hazards.
6、 Field of application
