  • Publication number: 20230373284
    Abstract: The battery support frame comprises a support frame body and a back panel. The support frame body has a channel for the battery box to enter into or exit from the support frame body. The back panel is used to connect the support frame body to an electric vehicle. At least one locking slot extending in an X direction is provided on the back panel. The channel for entry and exit of the battery box on the support frame body enables the support frame body to be connected to an electric vehicle by means of the back panel. The locking slot is configured to extend in the X direction, effectively increasing the area of the locking slot, and accordingly increasing the contact area between the locking slot and the locking shaft. The invention improves stress uniformity between the locking slot and the locking shaft, and prevents a concentration of stress.
