Abstract:

In Formula Student Electric China (referred to as FSEC), the power battery box is the core of the car and its internal structural layout and design are very important. Based on selecting the new box material, Simulink was used to simulate the power system of the racing car to determine the capacity of the battery module, followed by the use of CATIA to accurately model the internal components of the racing car power battery box and to analyze the heat generation and heat dissipation of the battery box through ANSYS. Finally, CATIA battery box was manipulated to carry out the overall design and optimize the internal layout. The strength, heat dissipation, power, and durability of the finished battery box were tested to verify the effectiveness of the design. Based on ensuring the heat dissipation efficiency, reliability, and safety of the power battery system, the layout of the internal structure of the power battery box are improved through exploiting the above procedures so that the space utilization rate of the power battery box is greatly improved and the group efficiency of the battery pack reaches 0.723; realizing the lightweight design of the power battery pack and even the whole vehicle.

Key words: power battery box, FSEC, power battery system, structural design, lightweight
