[0004] In the related art, in the CCS assembly of the FFC structure, in order to better achieve standardized production, all flat wires in the FFC adopt the same width size. However, when the FFC in the CCS assembly is used to provide balancing current for the battery cells of the battery pack to balance the energy of the battery pack, those flat wires that transmit the balancing current need to have a large overcurrent capacity, so each wire of the FFC will be widened. This practice not only increases the material cost of the FFC, but also increases the insulation risk between adjacent wires. Summary of the invention

[0052] Figure 1A schematic diagram of a portion of a battery pack 1000 provided in an embodiment of the present application in a top view direction, the battery pack 1000 includes a plurality of battery cells 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E, 1F, 1G and a CCS assembly 100. The plurality of battery cells 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E, 1F, 1G are stacked and arranged in a straight line direction DL to form a battery stack 200, and the CCS assembly 100 covers one side of the battery stack 200 and is engaged therewith, and is used to collect relevant signals of the battery cells 1A, 1C, 1E, 1G, and transmit the collected signals to a battery management system BMS (not shown).
[0053] Figure 1 The two-dot chain line in denoted by FIG. 1 represents a cutoff line, which cuts off another part of the battery pack 1000 and omits the depiction of the other part.
[0054] Please combine again Figure 2 and Figure 3 ,in Figure 2 Shows Figure 1 A portion of the CCS assembly 100, Figure 3 Shows Figure 2 The CCS assembly 100 includes a plastic bracket 2, a plurality of conductive bars 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D, a plurality of signal acquisition terminals 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D and a flexible flat cable 5.
[0055] The plastic bracket 2 is formed into a roughly rectangular plate-like configuration, which is used to integrate the conductive bars 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D, the signal acquisition terminals 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D and the flexible flat cable 5, so that the CCS component 100 can be stored, transported and sold as a complete component before being installed in the battery pack 1000, thereby reducing the workload of the battery pack manufacturer.
[0056] The plastic bracket 2 has a plurality of holes arranged at intervals along its length, and the conductive bars 4A, 4B, 4C, and 4D cover the holes separately from each other, and the conductive bars 4A, 4B, 4C, and 4D are fixed to the plastic bracket 2 via screws (not shown). Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the Figure 1In the figure, the back side (the side facing the paper) of the rightmost conductive bar 3D is welded to the positive pole of the rightmost battery cell 1G, thereby functioning as the total positive conductive bar of the battery pack 1000, and the back side of each of the remaining conductive bars 3A, 3B, and 3C is respectively welded to the positive pole and negative pole of two adjacent battery cells (for example, the positive pole of battery cell 1A and the negative pole of battery cell 1B) to electrically connect the adjacent battery cells in series. It can be seen that the aforementioned holes provide connection channels for the conductive bars 4A, 4B, 4C, and 4D and the electrode poles of the battery cells 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E, 1F, and 1G, so that the back side of the conductive bars 4A, 4B, 4C, and 4D can contact and weld with the electrode poles of the battery cells 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E, 1F, and 1G.
[0057] In addition, Figure 1 and Figure 2 Some other conductive bars that are opposite to the multiple conductive bars 4A, 4B, 4C, and 4D shown in the figure are omitted. One of the other conductive bars is welded to the negative pole of the rightmost battery cell 1A, thereby functioning as the total negative conductive bar of the battery pack. The remaining conductive bars of the other conductive bars are respectively welded to the positive pole and negative pole of two adjacent battery cells (for example, the positive pole of battery cell 1B and the negative pole of battery cell 1C) to electrically connect the adjacent battery cells in series. Figure 1 The conductive bars 4A, 4B, 4C, and 4D shown in FIG. 4 have substantially the same structure and function, and therefore, their description is omitted.
[0058] The plurality of signal acquisition terminals 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D are respectively welded to the aforementioned plurality of conductive bars 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D, so as to respectively acquire the signals of the corresponding battery cells 1A, 1C, 1E, 1G via the corresponding conductive bars 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D.
[0059] Specifically, the signal acquisition terminals 3A and 3C each include a PCB board 41 and a metal sheet 32 connected to the PCB board 31, and the metal sheet 32 may be, for example, a nickel sheet. For the signal acquisition terminals 3B and 3D, a thermistor 36 and three pads 33, 34, and 35 are provided on the PCB board thereof, wherein the pad 33 is connected to the metal sheet 32, and the pads 34 and 35 are respectively connected to the two ends of the thermistor 36. For the signal acquisition terminals 3A, 3C, 3E, 3G, and 3I, no thermistor is provided on the PCB board 31 thereof, but a pad 37 connected to the metal sheet 32 is provided.
[0060] The resistance of the thermistor 36 will change according to the change of its temperature. The pad 34, the thermistor 36 and the pad 35 form a series path. Therefore, by measuring the voltage across the thermistor 36, that is, the voltage drop between the pad 34 and the pad 35, the current resistance of the thermistor 36 can be determined, and then the temperature information of the thermistor 36 and the corresponding battery cell can be determined.
[0061] More specifically, the metal sheets 32 of the signal acquisition terminals 3B and 3D are respectively welded to the conductive bars 4B and 4D, which are in turn welded to the electrode columns of the battery cells 1C and 1G. Therefore, the signal acquisition terminals 3B and 3D can respectively collect the voltage signals of the battery cells 1C and 1G via the conductive bars 4B and 4D, and output the voltage signals of the battery cells 1C and 1G using the welding pads 37. The metal sheets 32 of the signal acquisition terminals 3A and 3C are respectively welded to the conductive bars 4A and 4C, which are in turn welded to the electrode posts of the battery cells 1A and 1E, respectively. The thermistor 36 is thermally coupled with the battery cells 1A and 1E via the conductive bars 4A and 4C. The conductive bars 4A and 4C transfer the heat of the battery cells 1A and 1E to the thermistor 36 of the signal acquisition terminals 3A and 3C, respectively. Therefore, the signal acquisition terminals 3A and 3C can respectively acquire the voltage signals and temperature signals of the battery cells 1A and 1E via the conductive bars 4A and 4C, and output the voltage signals of the battery cells 1A and 1E using the welding pads 33, and output the temperature signals of the battery cells 1A and 1E using the welding pads 34 and 35.
[0062] The flexible flat cable 5 includes a plurality of flat conductors 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e, 5f, 5g, 5h arranged in a spaced relationship from each other in the width direction DW of the flexible flat cable 5 and an insulating coating 51 covering the flat conductors 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e, 5f, 5g, 5h. Among them, the three adjacently arranged flat conductors 5a, 5b, 5c correspond to the signal acquisition terminal 3A, the other three adjacently arranged flat conductors 5e, 5f, 5g correspond to the signal acquisition terminal 3C, and the flat conductor 5d and the flat conductor 5g correspond to the signal acquisition terminal 3B and the signal acquisition terminal 3D, respectively.
[0063] For the sake of convenience of description, the three flat wires 5a, 5b, and 5c are called a wire group, the three flat wires 5e, 5f, and 5g are called another wire group, and the middle flat wire in each wire group, i.e., the flat wires 5b and 5f, are called the first flat wire, and the other two flat wires are respectively called the second flat wire (such as, flat wires 5a and 5e) and the third flat wire (such as, flat wires 5c and 5g), and in addition, the flat wires 5d and 5g are called fourth flat wires.
[0064] exist Figure 1In the embodiment, the four signal acquisition terminals 3A, 3B, 3C, and 3D are arranged in a spaced relationship in the length direction DL of the flexible flat cable 5, and the two fourth flat wires 5d and 5g and the two wire groups are arranged alternately in the width direction DW of the flexible flat cable 5. In this way, the two fourth flat wires 5d and 5g and the two wire groups can be neatly connected to the four signal acquisition terminals 3A, 3B, 3C, and 3D in the flexible flat cable 5.
[0065] A slit extending along the length direction DL of the flexible flat cable 5 can be provided on the insulating film between the first wire group and the flat wire 5d and on the insulating film between the other wire group and the flat wire 5g, respectively. Based on the slit, the two wire groups are bent perpendicularly to the length direction DL and extended to the corresponding signal acquisition terminals 3A and 3C, and the two fourth flat wires 5d and 5g are bent perpendicularly to the length direction DL and extended to the signal acquisition terminals 3B and 3D (second signal acquisition terminals). The technology of using slits to lead out the flat wires in the flexible flat cable can be understood by referring to the patent document with publication number CN113068297A (such as Figure 4 or Figure 7 of the document), which will not be described in detail herein.
[0066] It should be understood that the length direction DL and width direction DW of the flexible flat cable 5 mentioned here refer to the direction corresponding to the flexible flat cable 5 before its flat conductors 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e, 5f, 5g, 5h are bent. When the CCS assembly 100 is assembled to the side of the battery stack 200 to form a battery module 1000, the length direction DL of the flexible flat cable 5 is consistent with the stacking direction of the multiple battery cells 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E, 1F, 1G, the arrangement direction of the multiple signal acquisition terminals 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D, and the arrangement direction of the multiple conductive bars 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D.
[0067] More specifically, see Figure 3 Combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2, the flat wires 5a, 5b, 5c in one wire group are respectively welded to the pads 34, 33, 35 of the signal acquisition terminal 3A, the flat wires 5e, 5f, 5g in the other wire group are respectively welded to the pads 34, 33, 35 of the signal acquisition terminal 3C, and the flat wires 5d, 5h are respectively welded to the pads 37 of the signal acquisition terminals 3B, 3D. Therefore, the flat wires 5b, 5d, 5f, 5h are electrically connected to the electrodes of the corresponding battery cells, so as to lead out the voltage signals of the corresponding battery cells 1A, 1C, 1E, 1G, the flat wires 5a, 5c are connected to the two ends of the thermistor 36 in the signal acquisition terminal 3A, so as to lead out the temperature signal of the battery cell 1A, and the flat wires 5e, 5g are connected to the two ends of the thermistor 36 in the signal acquisition terminal 3C, so as to lead out the temperature signal of the battery cell 1C. In addition, as known to those skilled in the art, such wires connected to the electrodes of the battery cells usually have to supply balancing current to the battery cells to balance the energy of the battery pack. Since the balancing current is generally as high as several amperes, the flat wires 5b, 5d, 5f, and 5h are required to have sufficient overcurrent capability. Such requirements can be met by using flat wires 5b, 5d, 5f, and 5h with sufficient width. In contrast, the flat wires 5a, 5c, 5e, and 5g used to collect the terminal voltage of the thermistor 36 do not need to have overcurrent capability. Therefore, the width of the flat wires 5a, 5c, 5e, and 5g can be set to be appropriately small.
[0068] In view of this, in the present embodiment, the width of the flat conductors 5a, 5c, 5e, 5g is set to be smaller than the width of the flat conductors 5b, 5d, 5f, 5h. Through such a design, while ensuring the overcurrent capacity of the flat conductors 5b, 5d, 5f, 5h, the width of the flat conductors 5a, 5c, 5e, 5g can be reduced as much as possible, thereby helping to save the material cost of the flexible flat cable 5, and helping to reduce the width of the flexible flat cable 5 as a whole, and reducing its occupied area on the side of the stack 200. In addition, when the width of the flexible flat cable 5 as a whole is constant, through such a design, the electrical isolation distance between adjacent flat conductors can be enlarged to reduce the insulation risk.
[0069] To facilitate standardized and efficient production of the flexible flat cable 5, in this embodiment, the four flat conductors 5a, 5c, 5e, 5g have the same width, and the four flat conductors 5b, 5d, 5f, 5h have the same width.
[0070] The flexible flat cable 5 has an outlet 5OT away from the signal acquisition terminals 3A, 3B, 3C, and 3D, and at the outlet 5OT, the tips of the flat wires 5a, 5c, 5e, and 5g are arranged at a position closer to the inside than the tips of the flat wires 5b, 5d, 5f, and 5h. This design helps to increase the degree of electrical isolation of the flat wires 5b, 5d, 5f, and 5h at the tips, so as to ensure a sufficiently large insulation withstand voltage value within a limited distance.
