[0048] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals shown in each of the drawings represent the same elements.

[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a fuse box for a battery of a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention may include: a lower shell 100, which is provided with a space for accommodating a fuse 800 and placing a bus bar 900 for electrically connecting the battery and the fuse 800; a plate-shaped upper shell 200, which has a through hole formed in the middle thereof, includes a first extension portion 210 extending upward along the circumference of the through hole, and is assembled on the upper side of the lower shell 100; and a fuse cover 300, which is combined to the upper side of the upper shell 200 to cover the fuse 800 exposed through the through hole of the upper shell 200, and may also include a main cover 700 covering the fuse cover 300.

[0050] refer to Figure 3 The lower shell 100 can be configured to include at least one of the following: a fuse placement portion 110 in which the fuse 800 is accommodated and placed; a fuse fastening portion 120 located on both sides of the fuse placement portion 110 and fastened to the fuse 800; a bus bar placement portion 130 for placing a bus bar 900 respectively connected to two electrodes of the battery; a bus bar fastening portion 140 fastened to the bus bar 900 and a first assembly hole 150 for assembly with the upper shell 200.

[0051] Specifically, the fuse seating portion 110 may be formed such that when the fuse 800 is seated on the fuse seating portion 110, a gap (G) having a predetermined length is formed between both ends of the fuse 800 and the inner wall of the fuse seating portion 110. According to an embodiment, when the fuse 800 is seated on the fuse seating portion 110, the gap (G) between both ends of the fuse 800 and the inner wall of the fuse seating portion 110 may be 1.5 mm.

[0052] As described above, when the fuse 800 is seated on the fuse seating portion 110, the fuse box according to the present invention can prevent the lower housing 100 from catching fire when the fuse is heated by forming a gap (G) having a predetermined length between both ends of the fuse 800 and the inner wall of the fuse seating portion 110.

[0053] In addition, a partition wall 132 having a predetermined height may be formed on at least one side of the bus bar seating portion 130. As described above, by forming the partition wall 132 having a predetermined height on at least one side of the bus bar seating portion 130, the bus bar 900 may be more stably fixed to the bus bar seating portion 130 to maintain the layout of the initial state.

[0054] Furthermore, in the present invention, the fuse fastening portion 120 and the bus bar fastening portion 140 may be formed by insert molding with bolts. Figure 4, both ends of the fuse 800 may be coupled and fastened to the fuse fastening part 120 in which the bolts are inserted, and the bus bars 900 respectively connected to the two electrodes of the battery may be fastened to the bus bar fastening parts 140 , respectively.

[0055] Reference Figure 5 , the bus bar cover 600 may cover the bus bar 900 placed on the bus bar placement portion 130. Here, since the bus bar 900 is connected to the high voltage battery and conducts high voltage, a safety accident may occur when an operator's hand touches the bus bar 900 during assembly or disassembly of the fuse 800 due to a malfunction of the fuse 800. In the present invention, by providing the bus bar cover 600 covering the bus bar 900 in the lower case 100, a safety accident caused by an operator's hand touching the bus bar 900 during assembly or disassembly of the fuse 800 can be prevented.

[0056] According to an embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the bus bar cover 600 is hinged to the lower case 100 such that the bus bar cover 600 can be opened and closed by the hinge.

[0057] Reference Figure 6 and Fig.11 , the upper case 200 may include: a first coupling portion 220 disposed around the through hole and coupled to the battery upper case 910; and a second coupling portion 230 disposed around the through hole and coupled to the fuse cover 300. At this time, the upper case 200 may be made of a plastic material as a non-conductive substance.

[0058] Here, the first coupling part 220 coupled with the battery upper case 910 may be formed by injection molding with an embedding nut, and the second coupling part 230 may be formed by injection molding with an embedding nut.

[0059] Reference Figure 7 , the first coupling part 220 is described in detail. As mentioned above, the first coupling part 220 can be formed by injection molding of an embedded nut, and a positioning hole 222 can be provided on its lower end surface for adjusting the position of the corresponding embedded nut during the injection molding process.

[0060] In addition, refer to Figure 7 The inner side surface of the embedded nut of the first coupling portion 220 may be provided with threads, the inner bottom surface thereof may be closed, and the outer side surface thereof may be hatched.

[0061] On the other hand, referring to Figure 7 The arrow indicating water flow in the figure indicates that moisture may flow into the embedded nut where the bolt is coupled to the first coupling portion 220. In the present invention, the moisture inflow problem can be prevented by using an embedded nut with a closed inner bottom surface.

[0062] In addition, by forming hatching on the outer side surface of the embed nut, the injection molding material and the embed nut can be molded more firmly when the insert is injected, thereby preventing moisture from entering the outer side surface of the embed nut.

[0063] Reference Figure 8 and Fig. 9 , the upper housing seal 400 coupled to the upper side of the upper housing 200 may include: a plate-shaped body 410 having a non-circular through hole formed in the middle thereof; a second extension 420 extending upward to a predetermined height along the edge of the body; and a protrusion 430 having a predetermined area along the edge of the body and protruding from the upper surface of the body. At this time, the upper housing seal 400 may be made of a rubber material.

[0064] Specifically, refer to Fig.11 , the upper case sealer 400 is coupled to the upper side of the upper case 200 to serve as a watertight surface of the inner side surface of the battery upper case 910 .

[0065] More specifically, as described above, the upper case sealer 400 has a plurality of protrusions 430 having a predetermined area along the edge of the body and protruding from the upper surface of the body to increase a contact area with the battery upper case 910 , thereby improving waterproof performance.

[0066] In addition, the upper case sealer 400 according to the present invention includes a second extension portion 420 extending upward along the edge of the body to a predetermined height to increase a contact area with the battery upper case 910 , thereby preventing water from entering the interior of the battery pack.

[0067] In addition, refer to Figure 6 , the upper housing seal 400 may include a second assembly hole 250 for assembling the upper housing seal 400, the second assembly hole 250 is arranged around the first extension portion 210, and refers to Fig. 9 , the lower surface of the upper housing seal 400 may be provided with a first protrusion 440 assembled in the second assembly hole 250. In other words, the first protrusion 440 formed on the lower surface of the upper housing seal 400 is coupled to the second assembly hole 250 formed in the upper housing 200, and thus may be coupled to the upper side of the upper housing 200 of the upper housing seal 400.

[0068] Reference Fig.12 , the fuse cover 300 may be provided with inner walls 310 having a predetermined height and spaced at predetermined distances along the circumference of the fuse cover 300. As described above, Fig.13 and Fig.14As shown, the fuse cover seal 500 and the first extension portion 210 of the upper case 200 may be inserted into the space between the fuse cover 300 and the inner wall 310 and combined.

[0069] The combination relationship of the upper housing 200, the fuse cover 300 and the fuse cover seal 500 can be referred to Fig.14 To describe, the fuse cover 300 can be assembled with the fuse cover seal 500, the fuse cover 300 can be provided with an anti-separation assembly part 320 that prevents the fuse cover seal 500 from being separated, and one surface of the fuse cover seal 500 can be provided with a second protrusion 510, and the second protrusion 510 is assembled with the anti-separation assembly part 320.

[0070] More specifically, referring to each component, the anti-separation assembly portion 320 may include: a third assembly hole 322 through which the second protrusion 510 passes and is assembled; and an anti-separation portion 324 that prevents the second protrusion 510 from being separated. In one embodiment, the anti-separation portion 324 may include a recessed portion recessed from the upper surface of the fuse cover 300.

[0071] In addition, the second protrusion 510 may include a neck 512 and a head 514, the head 514 being formed at the upper end of the neck 512 and having an area (or width) that narrows from the lower end to the upper end. According to an embodiment, the head 514 may be formed as follows: Fig.14 According to an embodiment, the fuse cover seal 500 may be made of an elastic rubber material.

[0072] On the other hand, the width of the lower end of the head 514 may be formed to be larger than the diameter of the third assembly hole 322, and the neck 512 is preferably formed to be equal to or smaller than the diameter of the third assembly hole 322. In other words, the neck is formed to be equal to or smaller than the diameter of the third assembly hole, the width of the lower end of the head is formed to be larger than the diameter of the third assembly hole, and therefore, when Fig.14 As shown, when the second protrusion is coupled to the anti-separation assembly, the lower end of the head is caught at the upper end of the anti-separation portion, thereby preventing the fuse cover seal 500 from being separated from the fuse cover.

[0073] In addition, refer to Fig.14 , a plurality of recesses 312 may be provided on the outer side surface of the inner wall 310 of the fuse cover 300, the inner side surface of the fuse cover seal 500 may be provided with a third protrusion 520 inserted into the recess 312, and the outer side surface of the fuse cover seal 500 may be provided with a first locking portion 530 having a tooth shape. In addition, the inner side surface of the first extension portion 210 of the upper housing 200 may be provided with a second locking portion 212 having a tooth shape.

[0074] In addition, the fuse cover 300 may further include a third coupling portion 330 for coupling to the second coupling portion 230 of the upper case 200. Here, the third coupling portion 330 may be implemented by assembling a bushing in a hole formed in a side mounting portion of the fuse cover.

[0075] When the fuse cover is assembled with the upper case 200, if the formed hole in the side mounting portion of the fuse cover is tightened by a bolt having a force of a predetermined size or more, a problem of damaging the side mounting portion of the fuse cover may occur. In the present invention, in order to prevent such a problem, by providing a third coupling portion 330 for assembling the bushing coupled with the upper case 200 in the fuse cover 300, the fuse cover 300 can be assembled with the upper case 200 more stably without damaging the side mounting portion of the fuse cover 300.

[0076] The main cover 700 covers the fuse cover 300 and may be made of steel. Fig.16 , by using the main cover 700 made of steel covering the fuse cover 300, the rigidity can be ensured from the influence of external impact, and at the same time, the electromagnetic wave can be conducted along the battery box and led to the ground, thereby shielding the electromagnetic wave.

[0077] When the fuse 800 in the fuse box of the vehicle battery according to the present invention having the structural features as described above fails or needs to be checked, Fig.15 As shown, the main cover 700 and the fuse cover 300 are removed so that the fuse 800 can be inspected or replaced.

[0078] Fig.17 1 is a view for describing an assembly process of a fuse box for a battery of a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig.17 , describes a process of assembling a fuse box for a battery of a vehicle according to the present invention. The bus bar 900 is placed on the bus bar seating portion 130 of the lower housing 100, the fuse 800 is placed on the fuse seating portion 110, and then the bus bar fastening portion and the fuse fastening portion are fastened with nuts, thereby fixing the bus bar 900 and the fuse 800 to the lower housing 100. After that, the bus bar cover 600 is coupled to the lower housing 100 by a hinge connection to cover the bus bar 900, and then the upper housing 200 coupled to the upper housing seal 400 is coupled to the upper side of the lower housing 100. Thereafter, the fuse box for a battery of a vehicle can be assembled by a process of coupling the fuse cover 300 coupled with the fuse cover seal 500 to the upper side of the upper housing 200.

[0079] exist Fig.17 The main cover, which is not shown in detail, may be coupled to the upper side of the fuse cover 300 by fixing the assembled fuse box to the battery box.

[0080] In the fuse box according to the present invention, when the fuse 800 is seated on the fuse seating portion 110, gaps having a predetermined length are formed between both ends of the fuse and the inner wall of the fuse seating portion 110, thereby preventing the lower case 100 from catching fire when the fuse 800 is heated.

[0081] In the present invention, by providing the bus bar cover 600 covering the bus bar 900 in the lower case 100 , a safety accident caused by the operator's hand contacting the bus bar 900 during the assembly or disassembly process of the fuse 800 can be prevented.
