Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of motors, and in particular to a bus body, a bus including the bus body, a motor including the bus, an electric power steering system including the motor, and a vehicle including the motor. Background Art

[0002] At present, the terminals of the existing busbars are easily deformed due to pressure when plugged into the female terminals, resulting in high assembly difficulty and low assembly yield. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to solve at least one of the above technical problems, a first object of the present invention is to provide a busbar body.

[0004] A second object of the present invention is to provide a busbar including an upper busbar body.

[0005] A third object of the present invention is to provide a motor comprising the above-mentioned busbar.

[0006] A fourth object of the present invention is to provide an electric power steering system including the above-mentioned motor.

[0007] A fifth object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle including the above motor.

[0008] The technical solution of the first aspect of the present invention provides a busbar body, comprising: a skeleton, which is an insulating part, and the skeleton comprises an annular bracket and a plurality of strip brackets connected to the annular bracket; a plurality of bus bars, each of the bus bars comprises a main body embedded in the annular bracket and a plurality of connecting parts connected to the main body and protruding from the skeleton; wherein the strip bracket is provided with a slot for accommodating a part of the terminal, the slot is provided with an avoidance notch, the avoidance notch is for one end of the terminal to bend and extend and protrude from the slot to be connected to the connecting part, the strip bracket is provided with at least one supporting mating surface for supporting the terminal, at least a portion of at least one of the supporting mating surfaces is located in the slot, and the connecting part, the supporting mating surface and the entrance of the slot are arranged in sequence along the axial direction of the annular bracket.

[0009] The busbar body provided by the technical solution of the first aspect of the present invention can provide supporting force to the terminal toward the female end by adding a supporting mating surface on the strip-shaped bracket, thereby preventing the terminal from being excessively deformed when plugged into the female end, reducing the difficulty of assembly, and further improving the assembly yield of the terminal.

[0010] Specifically, the busbar body includes a skeleton and multiple busbars. The skeleton is an insulating part that can be formed by injection molding. It supports multiple busbars and multiple terminals, isolates adjacent busbars, and plays an electrical insulation role; multiple busbars are conductors, each busbar includes a main body and multiple connecting parts, and the multiple connecting parts of each busbar are used to connect the terminals that need to be connected together in the multiple windings of the motor stator, and the electrical connection of these terminals is realized through the main body to realize the bus function; multiple terminals are connected to multiple busbars, each terminal is electrically connected to the terminal connected to the corresponding busbar, and multiple terminals are connected to the power supply mother terminal to form an electrical circuit to supply power to the multiple windings of the motor stator.

[0011] The skeleton includes an annular bracket and a strip bracket. The annular bracket is used to support multiple bus bars and ensure the insulation between the multiple bus bars. The multiple strip brackets are used to support multiple terminals and ensure the electrical insulation between the terminals and other structures. A slot is provided on the strip bracket, and the slot is provided with an avoidance notch. After the skeleton is formed, the terminal can be directly inserted into the slot, which is convenient for assembly. After the assembly is completed, both ends of the terminal are located outside the slot, respectively used to connect the power supply female end and the connection part. Since the connection part, the support mating surface and the entrance of the slot are arranged in sequence along the axial direction of the annular bracket, and the avoidance notch allows one end of the terminal to be bent and extended and protrude from the slot, so that it can be connected to the connection part, the two ends of the terminal are located on both sides of the support mating surface along the axial direction of the annular bracket, and the structure in which the terminal and the support mating surface cooperate to form a step structure on the terminal. During the assembly process, the support mating surface supports and cooperates with this part of the terminal, so that when it is subsequently plugged with the female end, the part of the terminal located above the support mating surface will be supported by the skeleton, which can effectively prevent the terminal from being deformed excessively under pressure.

[0012] At the same time, when the terminal contacts and matches with the supporting mating surface of the strip bracket, it indicates that the terminal is assembled in place, thereby realizing the assembly of the terminal and the frame, and the assembly method is simple and convenient to operate. In addition, the matching of the corresponding part of the terminal (defined as the supporting surface of the terminal) and the supporting mating surface also plays a positioning role in the assembly process, which can provide a sense of being in place, prompting that the assembly is in place, further reducing the difficulty of assembly, and playing a certain protective role for the terminal and the frame.

[0013] Furthermore, the number of the supporting mating surfaces may be one or more, which is equal to and corresponds to the number of the supporting surfaces of the terminal. In the case where the number of the supporting mating surfaces is one, the supporting mating surface may be completely located in the slot; or it may be partially located in the slot and partially located outside the slot (in this case, the bottom wall of the slot forms a part of the supporting mating surface, and the other part of the supporting mating surface extends out of the slot through the avoidance notch). In the case where the number of the supporting mating surfaces is multiple, in addition to setting the supporting mating surface in the slot, several supporting mating surfaces may also be set outside the slot.

[0014] It is understandable that the power female end is generally provided with a socket, and is plugged with the terminal. When the terminal is inserted into the socket, the terminal and the power female end are physically in contact, thereby achieving electrical connection. The power female end may be provided on the controller of the motor.

[0015] Specifically, the shapes of the insertion part and the jack of the terminal can be designed as needed. For example, the insertion part is a common rectangular sheet structure, and the jack is a corresponding rectangular hole; or, an avoidance groove is provided on the insertion part, so that the insertion part includes two plugs arranged side by side and spaced from each other, and at the same time, convex points are provided on both sides of the width direction of the insertion part, and a groove or a supporting point is correspondingly provided in the jack. During the process of inserting the terminal into the female end of the power supply, the two plugs can be elastically deformed and approach each other, which is convenient for the quick insertion of the terminal. When the plug is inserted into place, the convex point is stuck in the corresponding groove, or passes over the corresponding supporting point and abuts against the supporting point, which can effectively prevent the terminal from being separated from the female end of the power supply.

[0016] In addition, the busbar body in the above technical solution provided by the present invention may also have the following additional technical features:

[0017] In the above technical solution, the width W of the slot along the thickness direction of the terminal is configured to be greater than the thickness W1 of the terminal.

[0018] When the width of the slot along the thickness direction of the terminal is greater than the thickness of the terminal, the terminal and the slot are matched with each other in a clearance, so that the terminal is easily deformed in the circumferential and radial directions. This enables the terminal to have the ability to deform in the circumferential and radial directions, that is, flexibility, and also facilitates accurate alignment of the terminal with the female end opening to meet the assembly requirements of the terminal and the female end.

[0019] In the above technical solution, a limiting groove is provided at the entrance of the slot, and the limiting groove is used to accommodate the supporting protrusion of the terminal.

[0020] A limiting groove is provided at the entrance of the slot, and a supporting protrusion is provided corresponding to the terminal. The supporting protrusion will be embedded in the limiting groove during the assembly process. When the terminal is subjected to pressure, the supporting protrusion can play a supporting role, thereby preventing the terminal from becoming unstable and deforming due to local stress concentration.

[0021] In the above technical solution, the limiting groove is arranged on at least one side of the slot along the width direction of the terminal.

[0022] The limiting groove is arranged on at least one side of the slot along the width direction of the terminal, and the supporting protrusion is also arranged on at least one side of the width direction of the terminal, so that the supporting protrusion and the terminal can be directly formed into one piece by stamping, thereby simplifying the processing technology of the terminal. Furthermore, the limiting grooves are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the slot along the width direction of the terminal, and the supporting protrusions are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the width direction of the terminal, which is conducive to balancing the force on the terminal, thereby further improving the stability of the terminal.

[0023] In the above technical solution, the width W2 of the limiting groove along the thickness direction of the terminal is configured to be greater than the thickness W1 of the terminal.

[0024] Since the support protrusion is generally flush with the terminal in thickness, when the width of the limit groove along the thickness direction of the terminal is greater than the thickness of the terminal, after assembly is completed, the support protrusion and the limit groove are clearance-matched, which does not limit the deformation of the terminal in the circumferential and radial directions. This ensures that the terminal has the ability to deform in the circumferential and radial directions, that is, flexibility, and also facilitates accurate alignment of the terminal and the female end opening to meet the assembly requirements of the terminal and the female end.

[0025] In the above technical solution, the width W2 of the limiting groove along the thickness direction of the terminal is configured to be smaller than the width W of the slot along the thickness direction of the terminal.

[0026] The gap between the terminal and the slot along the thickness direction of the terminal is recorded as the first gap, and the gap between the support protrusion and the limiting groove along the thickness direction of the terminal is recorded as the second gap. Since the width of the limiting groove along the thickness direction of the terminal is smaller than the width of the slot along the thickness direction of the terminal, when the thickness of the support protrusion is equal to the thickness of the terminal, the width of the second gap is smaller than the width of the first gap. The first gap is relatively large, which is conducive to better deformation of the terminal in the circumferential, radial and vertical directions; while the second gap is relatively small, which is conducive to preventing the second connecting section from bending and unstable deformation when it is subjected to pressure.

[0027] In any of the above technical solutions, the supporting mating surface is perpendicular to the axis of the annular bracket; or the supporting mating surface is inclined relative to the axis of the annular bracket.

[0028] The supporting mating surface is perpendicular to the axis of the annular bracket, and the supporting surface of the terminal is also perpendicular to the axis of the annular bracket, so that the structures of the terminal and the strip bracket are relatively regular and easy to process and form. At the same time, in this solution, the supporting force provided by the supporting mating surface to the terminal can be parallel to the plug-in direction of the terminal and the female end, and the supporting reliability is high.

[0029] Alternatively, the supporting mating surface may also be arranged to be inclined relative to the axis of the annular bracket, which can also provide a component force parallel to the plugging direction of the terminal and the female end to prevent excessive deformation of the terminal.

[0030] In any of the above technical solutions, at least one of the strip-shaped brackets is provided with a positioning identification portion, and the positioning identification portion includes a reinforcing protrusion, and the reinforcing protrusion is connected to the ring-shaped bracket and the strip-shaped bracket.

[0031] At least one strip-shaped bracket is provided with a positioning identification portion, so that multiple strip-shaped brackets are not completely consistent in appearance, which can play a role in preventing mistakes in assembly, facilitate rapid identification of each bus bar, and then locate the relative position between the bus bar and the stator winding, which is conducive to further improving production efficiency.

[0032] The positioning identification portion includes a reinforcing protrusion, and the reinforcing protrusion is connected to the annular bracket and the strip bracket, which can improve the connection strength between the annular bracket and the strip bracket, and further improve the strength and reliability of the skeleton.

[0033] In any of the above technical solutions, the frame is provided with a plurality of hooks, at least one of the hooks is provided with an avoidance groove, and the avoidance groove is used to enable the hook to be suitable for elastic deformation.

[0034] A plurality of hooks are arranged on the frame to facilitate the hooking and matching of the busbar and the stator to achieve assembly. An avoidance groove is provided on at least one hook to facilitate elastic deformation of the hook during assembly with the stator, thereby reducing assembly difficulty and improving stability after assembly.

[0035] In the above technical solution, the hook includes: a fixing portion, which is connected to the frame; and a hooking portion, which is connected to the fixing portion; wherein the hooking portion of at least one of the hooks includes a plurality of elastic buckles arranged at intervals, and the avoidance groove is formed between adjacent elastic buckles.

[0036] The hook includes a fixing part and a hooking part, and the fixing part is connected to the frame to realize the connection function between the hook and the frame. The hooking part is connected to the fixing part and is used to hook with the stator to realize the hooking function. Among them, the hooking part of at least one hook includes a plurality of elastic buckles, and the plurality of elastic buckles are arranged at intervals to form an avoidance groove. During the assembly process, the adjacent elastic buckles can be squeezed to move closer to each other, thereby reducing the size of the hook, so that the hook can quickly and smoothly realize the hooking with the stator. After the hooking is completed, the elastic buckle will reset and deform, and fit tightly with the stator, thereby improving the connection strength.

[0037] In the above technical solution, the plurality of elastic buckles are arranged side by side; or the plurality of elastic buckles are arranged in a ring shape.

[0038] Multiple elastic buckles are arranged side by side, with a simple structure and easy processing and forming. In addition, the hook is hooked in one direction, and the hook mainly shows elastic changes in the width direction during assembly. At this time, the corresponding matching structure on the stator only needs to be provided with a slot, and it can be provided at the edge of the stator, with a simple structure and convenient assembly.

[0039] When multiple elastic buckles are arranged in a ring shape, the hook forms an elastic column buckle and hooks in multiple directions. During the assembly process, the hook mainly changes in thickness. At this time, the corresponding matching structure on the stator needs to be provided with a clamping hole, so that the connection is more reliable and the hook is not easy to fall out.

[0040] In the above technical solution, one end of the hooking portion connected to the fixing portion protrudes from the fixing portion and is connected to the frame.

[0041] Compared with the solution in which only the fixed part is connected to the frame, the hook part in this solution is also connected to the frame, and the connection direction with the frame is different, which not only increases the connection area between the hook and the frame, but also increases the direction of the connecting force between the hook and the frame, thereby further improving the connection strength between the hook and the frame, further improving the reliability of the hook, and effectively preventing the hook from cracking, breaking or falling off.

[0042] In the above technical solution, the strip-shaped bracket protrudes outward from the annular bracket along the radial direction of the annular bracket, and the hook is connected to the strip-shaped bracket.

[0043] In the above technical solution, the hook is connected to the radial outer side surface of the strip-shaped bracket.

[0044] The hook is connected to the strip-shaped bracket, and further connected to the radial outer side of the strip-shaped bracket, which is conducive to the hook being arranged radially outward compared to being connected to the ring-shaped bracket. Since the space radially outward of the stator is relatively sufficient, when the hook is radially outward, the assembly space is more sufficient, the assembly field of view is better, and the assembly is more convenient. At the same time, the cooperation between the hook and the stator can play a certain role in limiting the strip-shaped bracket, and thus can also indirectly play a certain role in limiting the terminal, thereby further improving the stability of the terminal.

[0045] In the above technical solution, the top end surface of the hook is inclined relative to the radial outer side surface of the strip-shaped bracket, and the top end surface extends obliquely from the inside to the outside toward the hooking portion of the hook.

[0046] In this solution, the top surface of the hook can avoid the upper structure and prevent interference with other structures.

[0047] In the above technical solution, the plurality of hooks are used to hook and cooperate with the slots on the stator, and a part of the plurality of hooks are provided with the avoidance slots. The hooks provided with the avoidance slots are marked as first hooks, and the other hooks are marked as second hooks; wherein the total width B1 of the first hook is greater than the width B3 of the slot and greater than the total width B2 of the second hook.

[0048] In this solution, the second hook without the avoidance groove can be easily inserted into the corresponding groove without interference, while the first hook with the avoidance groove interferes with the corresponding groove and needs to be deformed by side extrusion to reduce the total width of the first hook before it can be inserted into the corresponding groove. At the same time, after the first hook is inserted into the corresponding groove, due to the effect of elastic force, the side of the first hook fits tightly with the side of the corresponding groove, and has a certain bonding force, so the assembly of the busbar will be more reliable.

[0049] The technical solution of the second aspect of the present invention provides a busbar, comprising: a busbar body as described in any one of the technical solutions of the first aspect; and a plurality of terminals connected to a plurality of bus bars of the busbar body, one end of the terminal being connected to the connecting portion, and the other end of the terminal being used to connect to a female terminal of a power supply, and the terminal being provided with a supporting surface, and the supporting surface being in contact with and mating with the supporting mating surface.

[0050] The bus provided by the technical solution of the second aspect of the present invention includes the bus body described in any one of the technical solutions of the first aspect, and thus has all the beneficial effects of any of the above technical solutions, which will not be repeated here.

[0051] The technical solution of the third aspect of the present invention provides a motor, comprising: a motor body, including a stator, the stator is provided with a winding, the winding has two terminal terminals; and a bus as described in any one of the technical solutions of the second aspect, the connecting part of the bus is connected to the terminal.

[0052] The motor provided by the technical solution of the third aspect of the present invention includes the bus described in any one of the technical solutions of the second aspect, and thus has all the beneficial effects of any of the above technical solutions, which will not be repeated here.

[0053] In the above technical solution, the number of the windings is 12, and the 12 windings are connected in a star connection manner.

[0054] Since 12 windings have 24 joints, a star connection is used, and the 12 wire ends at the starting ends of the 12 windings need to be connected together, and the end ends of windings 1, 4, 7, 10, the end ends of windings 2, 5, 8, 11, and the end ends of windings 3, 6, 9, 12 are connected together, respectively, so the wiring method is very complicated. The solution of the present application can effectively reduce the wiring difficulty, and the wiring method is simple and reliable. Of course, the number of windings is not limited to 12, and can also be 9, 15, etc.; the connection method of the windings is not limited to the above method, and can also be a triangle connection or other methods.

[0055] The technical solution of the fourth aspect of the present invention provides an electric power steering system, comprising: a motor as described in any one of the technical solutions of the third aspect; and a control device electrically connected to the motor.

[0056] The electric power steering system provided by the technical solution of the fourth aspect of the present invention includes the motor described in the technical solution of the third aspect, and thus has all the beneficial effects of any of the above technical solutions, which will not be repeated here.

[0057] Specifically, the control device includes but is not limited to a vehicle speed sensor, an electronic control unit (ECU, Electronic Control Unit, also known as "driving computer", "on-board computer", etc.), etc.

[0058] It is understandable that the Electric Power Steering (EPS) is a power steering system that directly relies on the motor to provide auxiliary torque. Compared with the traditional hydraulic power steering system HPS (Hydraulic Power Steering), the EPS system has many advantages. EPS is mainly composed of a torque sensor, a vehicle speed sensor, a motor, a reduction mechanism, and an electronic control unit (ECU).

[0059] The technical solution of the fifth aspect of the present invention provides a vehicle, comprising: a vehicle body; and a motor as described in any one of the technical solutions of the third aspect, installed in the vehicle body.

[0060] The vehicle provided by the technical solution of the fifth aspect of the present invention includes the motor described in the technical solution of the third aspect, and thus has all the beneficial effects of any of the above technical solutions, which will not be repeated here.

[0091] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purpose, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0092] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0093] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 21 The present invention describes a busbar body, a busbar, a motor, an electric power steering system and a vehicle according to some embodiments of the present invention.

[0094] like Figure 6 , Fig.16 and Fig.17 As shown, the busbar body provided by the embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention includes: a skeleton 2 and a plurality of busbars 3.

[0095] Specifically, the frame 2 is an insulating member, and the frame 2 includes a ring-shaped support 21 and a plurality of strip-shaped supports 22 connected to the ring-shaped support 21. Figure 3 , Figure 7 , Fig.16 and Fig.17 shown.

[0096] Each bus bar 3 includes a main body 31 embedded in the annular support 21 and a plurality of connecting parts 32 connected to the main body 31 and protruding from the frame 2. Fig.16 and Fig.17 shown.

[0097] The strip-shaped bracket 22 is provided with a slot 221 for accommodating a portion of the terminal 1. Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Fig.16 and Fig.17 The slot 221 is provided with an avoidance notch 223, as shown in FIG. Fig. 9 and Fig.16 As shown, the avoidance notch 223 allows one end of the terminal 1 to be bent and extended and protrude from the slot 221 to be connected to the connecting portion 32. The strip-shaped bracket 22 is provided with at least one supporting mating surface 222 for supporting the terminal 1, such as Fig.16 and Fig.17 At least a portion of at least one supporting mating surface 222 is located in the slot 221, as shown. Fig.16 and Fig.17 As shown, the connecting portion 32 , the supporting matching surface 222 and the entrance of the slot 221 are arranged in sequence along the axial direction of the annular bracket 21 .

[0098] The busbar body provided in the embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention can provide a supporting force toward the female end for the terminal 1 by adding a supporting mating surface 222 on the strip-shaped bracket 22, thereby preventing the terminal 1 from being excessively deformed when plugged into the female end, reducing the difficulty of assembly, and further improving the assembly yield of the terminal 1.

[0099] Specifically, the busbar body includes a skeleton 2 and a plurality of busbars 3. The skeleton 2 is an insulating part that can be formed by injection molding, supports the plurality of busbars 3 and the plurality of terminals 1, and isolates the adjacent busbars 3 to provide electrical insulation; the plurality of busbars 3 are conductors, and each busbar 3 includes a main body 31 and a plurality of connecting parts 32. The plurality of connecting parts 32 of each busbar 3 are used to connect the terminals that need to be connected together in the plurality of windings of the motor stator, and realize the electrical connection of these terminals through the main body 31 to realize the bus function; the plurality of terminals 1 are connected to the plurality of busbars 3, such as Fig.18 As shown, each terminal 1 is electrically connected to the wiring terminal connected to the corresponding bus bar 3, and multiple terminals 1 are connected to the power female terminal to form an electrical circuit to supply power to multiple windings of the motor stator.

[0100] The skeleton 2 includes an annular support 21 and a strip support 22. The annular support 21 is used to support multiple bus bars 3 and ensure the insulation between the multiple bus bars 3. The multiple strip supports 22 are used to support multiple terminals 1 and ensure the electrical insulation between the terminals 1 and other structures. A slot 221 is provided on the strip support 22, and the slot 221 is provided with an avoidance notch 223. After the skeleton 2 is formed, the terminal 1 can be directly inserted into the slot 221, which is convenient for assembly. After the assembly is completed, both ends of the terminal 1 are located outside the slot 221, and are used to connect the power female end and the connecting part 32 respectively. Since the connection part 32, the support mating surface 222 and the entrance of the slot 221 are arranged in sequence along the axial direction of the annular bracket 21, and the avoidance gap 223 allows one end of the terminal 1 to bend and extend and protrude from the slot 221, so that it can be connected to the connection part 32, the two ends of the terminal 1 are located on both sides of the support mating surface 222 along the axial direction of the annular bracket 21, and the structure in which the terminal 1 and the support mating surface 222 cooperate to form a step structure on the terminal 1. During the assembly process, the support mating surface 222 supports and cooperates with this part of the terminal 1, so that when it is subsequently plugged with the female end, the part of the terminal 1 located above the support mating surface 222 will be supported by the skeleton 2, which can effectively prevent the terminal 1 from being deformed excessively due to pressure.

[0101] At the same time, when the terminal 1 contacts and matches with the supporting mating surface 222 of the strip-shaped bracket 22, it indicates that the terminal 1 is assembled in place, thereby realizing the assembly of the terminal 1 and the frame 2, and the assembly method is simple and convenient to operate. In addition, the matching of the corresponding part of the terminal 1 (defined as the supporting surface 131 of the terminal 1) and the supporting mating surface 222 also plays a positioning role in the assembly process, can provide a sense of being in place, prompting that the assembly is in place, further reducing the difficulty of assembly, and playing a certain protective role for the terminal 1 and the frame 2.

[0102] Furthermore, the number of the supporting mating surface 222 may be one or more, which is equal to and corresponds to the number of the supporting surfaces 131 of the terminal 1. In the case where the number of the supporting mating surface 222 is one, the supporting mating surface 222 may be completely located in the slot 221; or a part of it may be located in the slot 221 and a part of it may be located outside the slot 221. In this case, the bottom wall of the slot 221 forms a part of the supporting mating surface 222, and the other part of the supporting mating surface 222 extends out of the slot 221 through the avoidance notch 223. Fig.16 In the case where there are multiple supporting mating surfaces 222, in addition to providing the supporting mating surface 222 inside the slot 221, several supporting mating surfaces 222 may also be provided outside the slot 221, such as Fig.16 A plurality of steps are added below the supporting mating surface 222 to form a plurality of supporting mating surfaces 222 .

[0103] It is understandable that the power female end is generally provided with a socket, which is plugged into the terminal 1. When the terminal 1 is inserted into the socket, the terminal 1 and the power female end are physically in contact, thereby achieving electrical connection. The power female end can be provided on the controller of the motor.

[0104] Specifically, the shapes of the plug-in portion 122 and the plug hole of the terminal 1 can be designed as required.

[0105] For example: the plug-in portion 122 is a common rectangular sheet structure (such as Fig.10 As shown), the jack is a corresponding rectangular hole.

[0106] Alternatively, an avoidance groove is provided on the plug-in portion 122, so that the plug-in portion 122 includes two plug-ins arranged side by side and spaced apart from each other, and at the same time, protrusions are provided on both sides of the width direction of the plug-in portion 122, and corresponding grooves or support points are provided in the socket. During the process of inserting the terminal 1 into the power female end, the two plug-ins can be elastically deformed and approach each other, which is convenient for quick insertion of the terminal 1. When the plug-in is inserted into place, the protrusion is stuck in the corresponding groove, or passes over the corresponding support point and abuts against the support point, which can effectively prevent the terminal 1 from detaching from the power female end.

[0107] Furthermore, the width W of the slot 221 along the thickness direction of the terminal 1 is configured to be greater than the thickness W1 of the terminal 1, such as Figure 5 shown.

[0108] When the width of the slot 221 along the thickness direction of the terminal 1 is greater than the thickness of the terminal 1, the terminal 1 and the slot 221 are clearance-matched. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the terminal 1 is easily deformed in the circumferential direction and the radial direction, which enables the terminal 1 to have the ability to deform in the circumferential and radial directions, that is, flexibility, and also facilitates the accurate alignment of the terminal 1 with the female end opening to meet the assembly requirements of the terminal 1 and the female end.

[0109] Furthermore, a limiting groove 2211 is provided at the entrance of the slot 221. Figure 7 , Fig.16 and Fig.17 As shown, the limiting groove 2211 is used to accommodate the supporting protrusion of the terminal 1. Figure 3 and Fig.18 shown.

[0110] A limiting groove 2211 is provided at the entrance of the slot 221, and a supporting protrusion is correspondingly provided on the terminal 1. The supporting protrusion will be embedded in the limiting groove 2211 during the assembly process. When the terminal 1 is subjected to pressure, the supporting protrusion can play a supporting role, thereby preventing the terminal 1 from becoming unstable and deforming due to local stress concentration.

[0111] Specifically, the limiting groove 2211 is provided on at least one side of the slot 221 along the width direction of the terminal 1. Fig.16 and Fig.17 shown.

[0112] The limiting groove 2211 is arranged on at least one side of the slot 221 along the width direction of the terminal 1, and the supporting protrusion is also arranged on at least one side of the width direction of the terminal 1, so that the supporting protrusion and the terminal 1 can be directly formed into one piece by stamping, thereby simplifying the processing technology of the terminal 1. Furthermore, the limiting grooves 2211 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the slot 221 along the width direction of the terminal 1, and the supporting protrusions are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the width direction of the terminal 1, which is conducive to balancing the force on the terminal 1, thereby further improving the stability of the terminal 1.

[0113] The width W2 of the limiting groove 2211 along the thickness direction of the terminal 1 is configured to be greater than the thickness W1 of the terminal 1. Figure 5 shown.

[0114] Since the support protrusion is generally flush with the terminal 1, when the width of the limiting groove 2211 along the thickness direction of the terminal 1 is greater than the thickness of the terminal 1, after assembly, the support protrusion and the limiting groove 2211 are clearance-matched, such as Figure 5As shown, this does not limit the deformation of the terminal 1 in the circumferential and radial directions, which ensures that the terminal 1 has the ability to deform in the circumferential and radial directions, that is, flexibility, and also facilitates the accurate alignment of the terminal 1 with the female end opening to meet the assembly requirements of the terminal 1 and the female end.

[0115] Furthermore, the width W2 of the limiting groove 2211 along the thickness direction of the terminal 1 is configured to be smaller than the width W of the slot 221 along the thickness direction of the terminal 1, such as Figure 5 , Fig.16 and Fig.17 shown.

[0116] The gap between the terminal 1 and the slot 221 along the thickness direction of the terminal 1 is recorded as the first gap 226, and the gap between the support protrusion 121 and the limiting groove 2211 along the thickness direction of the terminal 1 is recorded as the second gap 227. Since the width of the limiting groove 2211 along the thickness direction of the terminal 1 is smaller than the width of the slot 221 along the thickness direction of the terminal 1, when the thickness of the support protrusion 121 is equal to the thickness of the terminal 1, the width of the second gap 227 is smaller than the width of the first gap 226. Figure 5 shown.

[0117] The first gap 226 is relatively large, which is conducive to better deformation of the terminal 1 in the circumferential, radial and vertical directions; while the second gap 227 is relatively small, which is conducive to preventing the second connecting section 12 from bending and becoming unstable and deformed when subjected to pressure.

[0118] In some embodiments, the support mating surface 222 is perpendicular to the axis of the annular support 21. Fig.16 and Fig.17 shown.

[0119] The supporting mating surface 222 is perpendicular to the axis of the annular bracket 21, and the supporting surface 131 of the terminal 1 is also perpendicular to the axis of the annular bracket 21. In this way, the structures of the terminal 1 and the strip bracket 22 are relatively regular and easy to process and shape. At the same time, in this solution, the supporting force provided by the supporting mating surface 222 to the terminal 1 can be parallel to the plugging direction of the terminal 1 and the female end, and the supporting reliability is high.

[0120] In other embodiments, the supporting mating surface 222 is tilted relative to the axis of the annular bracket 21 .

[0121] The supporting mating surface 222 may also be arranged to be inclined relative to the axis of the annular bracket 21 , and can also provide a component force parallel to the plugging direction of the terminal 1 and the female end, so as to prevent the terminal 1 from being excessively deformed.

[0122] In some technical solutions of the present invention, further, at least one strip-shaped bracket 22 is provided with a positioning mark portion, and the positioning mark portion includes a reinforcing protrusion 224, such as Figure 1 , Fig.16 and Fig.17 As shown, the reinforcing protrusion 224 is connected to the annular support 21 and the strip support 22 .

[0123] At least one strip-shaped bracket 22 is provided with a positioning identification portion, so that the multiple strip-shaped brackets 22 are not completely consistent in appearance, which can play a role in preventing mistakes in assembly, facilitate rapid identification of each bus bar 3, and then locate the relative position between the bus bar and the stator winding, which is conducive to further improving production efficiency.

[0124] The positioning identification portion includes a reinforcing protrusion 224 , and the reinforcing protrusion 224 is connected to the annular bracket 21 and the strip bracket 22 , which can improve the connection strength between the annular bracket 21 and the strip bracket 22 , and further improve the strength and reliability of the skeleton 2 .

[0125] In some technical solutions of the present invention, further, further, the frame 2 is provided with a plurality of hooks 23, such as Fig.16 and Fig.17 At least one hook 23 is provided with an escape groove 233, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 and Fig.16 As shown, the avoidance groove 233 is used to allow the hook 23 to be suitable for elastic deformation.

[0126] A plurality of hooks 23 are provided on the frame 2 to facilitate hooking and matching of the busbar with the stator 4 to achieve assembly. An avoidance groove 233 is provided on at least one hook 23 to facilitate elastic deformation of the hook 23 during assembly with the stator 4, thereby reducing assembly difficulty and improving stability after assembly.

[0127] Specifically, the hook 23 includes a fixing portion 231 and a hooking portion 232. Figure 7 The fixing portion 231 is connected to the frame 2 , and the hooking portion 232 is connected to the fixing portion 231 .

[0128] The hooking portion 232 of at least one hook 23 includes a plurality of elastic buckles 2321 arranged at intervals, such as Figure 7 As shown, an avoidance groove 233 is formed between adjacent elastic buckles 2321 .

[0129] The hook 23 includes a fixing portion 231 and a hooking portion 232. The fixing portion 231 is connected to the frame 2 to realize the connection function between the hook 23 and the frame 2. The hooking portion 232 is connected to the fixing portion 231 and is used to hook with the stator 4 to realize the hooking function. Among them, the hooking portion 232 of at least one hook 23 includes a plurality of elastic buckles 2321, and the plurality of elastic buckles 2321 are arranged at intervals to form an avoidance groove 233. During the assembly process, the adjacent elastic buckles 2321 can be squeezed and moved closer to each other, thereby reducing the size of the hook 23, so that the hook 23 can quickly and smoothly realize the hooking cooperation with the stator 4. After the hooking is completed, the elastic buckle 2321 will reset and deform, and fit tightly with the stator 4, thereby improving the connection strength.

[0130] In some embodiments, multiple elastic buckles 2321 are arranged side by side, such as Figure 7 shown.

[0131] The plurality of elastic buckles 2321 are arranged side by side, and the structure is simple and easy to process and form. In addition, the hook 23 is hooked in one direction, and the hook 23 mainly shows elastic changes in the width direction during the assembly process. At this time, the corresponding matching structure on the stator 4 only needs to be provided with a slot 41, and it can be provided at the edge of the stator 4, which has a simple structure and is relatively convenient to assemble.

[0132] In other embodiments, a plurality of elastic buckles 2321 are arranged in a ring shape.

[0133] Multiple elastic buckles 2321 are arranged in a ring shape, so the hook 23 forms an elastic column buckle, hooked in multiple directions, and the hook 23 mainly shows a change in thickness during the assembly process. At this time, the corresponding matching structure on the stator 4 needs to be provided with a clamping hole, the connection is more reliable, and the hook 23 is not easy to fall out.

[0134] Furthermore, one end of the hook portion 232 connected to the fixing portion 231 protrudes from the fixing portion 231. Fig.16 As shown, and connected to the skeleton 2.

[0135] Compared with the solution in which only the fixing part 231 is connected to the skeleton 2, the hooking part 232 in this solution is also connected to the skeleton 2, and the connection direction with the skeleton 2 is different, which not only increases the connection area between the hook 23 and the skeleton 2, but also increases the direction of the connecting force between the hook 23 and the skeleton 2, thereby further improving the connection strength between the hook 23 and the skeleton 2, further improving the reliability of the hook 23, and effectively preventing the hook 23 from cracking, breaking or falling off.

[0136] In some embodiments of the present invention, further, the strip-shaped bracket 22 of the skeleton 2 protrudes outward from the annular bracket 21 along the radial direction of the annular bracket 21, and the hook 23 is connected to the strip-shaped bracket 22, such as Figure 6 , Fig.16 and Fig.17 shown.

[0137] Furthermore, the hook 23 is connected to the radial outer side of the strip-shaped bracket 22, such as Fig.16 and Fig.17 shown.

[0138] The hook 23 is connected to the strip bracket 22, and further connected to the radial outer side of the strip bracket 22, which is conducive to the hook 23 being arranged radially outward compared to being connected to the ring bracket 21. Since the space radially outward of the stator 4 is relatively sufficient, when the hook 23 is radially outward, the assembly space is more sufficient, the assembly field of view is better, and the assembly is more convenient. At the same time, the cooperation between the hook 23 and the stator 4 can play a certain role in limiting the strip bracket 22, and thus can also indirectly play a certain role in limiting the terminal 1, thereby further improving the stability of the terminal 1.

[0139] Furthermore, the top end surface 234 of the hook 23 is inclined relative to the radial outer side surface of the strip-shaped bracket 22, such as Fig.16 and Fig.19 As shown, the top end surface 234 extends obliquely from the inside to the outside toward the hook portion 232 close to the hook 23.

[0140] The top surface 234 of the hook 23 can avoid the upper structure and prevent interference with other structures.

[0141] In the above embodiment, further, the plurality of hooks 23 are used to hook and cooperate with the slots 41 on the stator 4, such as Fig.19 A portion of the plurality of hooks 23 is provided with an escape groove 233 , the hooks 23 provided with the escape groove 233 are denoted as first hooks, and the other hooks 23 are denoted as second hooks.

[0142] The total width B1 of the first hook>the width B3 of the slot 41>the total width B2 of the second hook. Figure 8 and Fig. 9 shown.

[0143] In this solution, the second hook without the avoidance groove 233 can be easily inserted into the corresponding groove 41 without interference, while the first hook with the avoidance groove 233 interferes with the corresponding groove 41 and needs to be deformed by side extrusion to reduce the total width of the first hook before it can be inserted into the corresponding groove 41. At the same time, after the first hook is inserted into the corresponding groove 41, due to the effect of elastic force, the side of the first hook fits tightly with the side of the corresponding groove 41, and has a certain bonding force, so the assembly of the busbar will be more reliable.

[0144] The busbar provided by the embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention comprises: a busbar body as in any one of the embodiments of the first aspect and a plurality of terminals 1. The plurality of terminals 1 are connected to a plurality of busbars 3 of the busbar body, one end of the terminal 1 is connected to the connecting portion 32, the other end of the terminal 1 is used to connect to the female terminal of the power supply, and the terminal 1 is provided with a supporting surface 131, and the supporting surface 131 is in contact with the supporting mating surface 222.

[0145] The bus provided in the embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention includes the bus body of any one of the embodiments of the first aspect, and thus has all the beneficial effects of any of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0146] Furthermore, if Fig.10 , Fig.14 and Fig.15 As shown, the terminal 1 comprises: a first connecting section 11, a supporting section 13 and a second connecting section 12. Figure 2 shown.

[0147] Specifically, one end of the support section 13 is connected to the first connecting section 11. Figure 2 and Fig.11 As shown, the support section 13 is provided with at least one support surface 131 .

[0148] The second connecting section 12 is connected to the other end of the supporting section 13 by a turning point, and the second connecting section 12 extends in a direction away from the first connecting section 11 . The first connecting section 11 , the supporting section 13 , and the second connecting section 12 are arranged in sequence along the thickness direction of the first connecting section 11 .

[0149] Among them, along the thickness direction of the first connecting section 11, the supporting surface 131 is arranged on the side of the supporting section 13 away from the second connecting section 12, such as Figure 2 As shown, the support surface 131 is suitable for being supported to provide a supporting force to at least a portion of the support segment 13 and the second connecting segment 12 .

[0150] The terminal 1 provided in the present solution, by adding a support section 13, can provide a supporting force toward the female end for the terminal 1 by utilizing the supporting effect of the supporting surface 131 of the support section 13, thereby preventing the terminal 1 from being excessively deformed when plugged into the female end, reducing the difficulty of assembly, and further improving the assembly yield of the terminal 1.

[0151] Specifically, the terminal 1 includes a first connection section 11, a support section 13 and a second connection section 12. The first connection section 11 is used to connect to the connection portion 32 of the busbar 3, and the second connection section 12 is used to connect to the female end. The support section 13 is located between the first connection section 11 and the second connection section 12 to play a supporting role. Specifically, the support section 13 is connected to the first connection section 11 and is also connected to the second connection section 12. The first connection section 11, the support section 13 and the second connection section 12 are arranged along the thickness direction of the first connection section 11. Then, the position of the support section 13 forms a step structure on the terminal 1, and part of the surface of the step structure forms a support surface 131. During the assembly process, the support surface 131 will cooperate with the support of the skeleton 2 of the busbar. In this way, when it is subsequently plugged into the female end, it is supported by the skeleton 2, which can effectively prevent the terminal 1 from being deformed excessively due to pressure.

[0152] In some embodiments of the present invention, further, the second connecting section 12 is provided with a supporting protrusion 121, such as Figure 3 and Fig.12 shown.

[0153] A supporting protrusion 121 is provided on the second connecting section 12 , and when the terminal 1 is subjected to pressure, the supporting protrusion 121 can play a supporting role, thereby preventing the terminal 1 from being unstable and deformed due to local stress concentration.

[0154] Furthermore, the supporting protrusion 121 is provided on at least one side of the second connecting section 12 in the width direction, such as Figure 3 and Fig.12 shown.

[0155] The support protrusion 121 is arranged on at least one side of the second connecting section 12 in the width direction, so that it is convenient to directly form it integrally with the terminal 1 by stamping, thereby simplifying the processing technology of the terminal 1. The support protrusion 121 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the second connecting section 12 in the width direction, which is conducive to balancing the force on the terminal 1, thereby further improving the stability of the terminal 1.

[0156] In some embodiments of the present invention, the support surface 131 and the first connecting section 11 are parallel to each other. Figure 2 shown.

[0157] The support surface 131 is parallel to the first connection section 11, and the structure is relatively regular, which is convenient for processing and forming, and also convenient for processing and forming the busbar skeleton 2. At the same time, in this solution, the support force received by the support surface 131 can be parallel to the plugging direction with the female end, and the support reliability is high.

[0158] Further, the support section 13 includes at least one L-shaped section, such as Figure 2 and Fig.11 shown.

[0159] The support section 13 includes at least one L-shaped section, and the support section 13 is a right-angle step structure, and the support surface 131 can be parallel to the first connecting section 11. Since the first connecting section 11 and the second connecting section 12 are generally perpendicular to each other, when the support section 13 includes one L-shaped section, the terminal 1 is a double L-shaped as a whole, which is stable and has a simple structure; when the support section 13 includes two L-shaped sections, the terminal 1 is a triple L-shaped as a whole; when the support section 13 includes more L-shaped sections, the same applies, and so on.

[0160] In some other embodiments of the present invention, the supporting surface 131 is inclined relative to the first connecting section 11 .

[0161] The supporting surface 131 may also be arranged to be inclined relative to the first connecting section 11 , and can also provide a component force parallel to the plugging direction with the female end, so as to prevent the terminal 1 from being excessively deformed.

[0162] Furthermore, the support segment 13 may be an inclined segment, and the support surface 131 may be inclined relative to the first connection segment 11 ; or the support segment 13 may include a plurality of inclined segments, as long as it has the support surface 131 and can support the terminal 1 .

[0163] In any of the above embodiments, the first connecting section 11 and the second connecting section 12 are perpendicular to each other. Figure 2 and Fig.11 As shown, the first connecting section 11 is provided with a welding surface 111, and the second connecting section 12 is provided with a plug-in portion 122 (as shown in FIG. Fig.10 , Fig.14 and Fig.15 shown).

[0164] The first connecting section 11 and the second connecting section 12 are perpendicular to each other, and the first connecting section 11 and the second connecting section 12 are respectively provided with a welding surface 111 and a plug-in portion 122, which facilitates the first connecting section 11 to be welded to the connecting portion 32 of the busbar 3, and also facilitates the second connecting section 12 to be plug-in connected to the female end.

[0165] Define the direction in which the female end is inserted into the terminal 1 as the downward direction. During the assembly process, the terminal 1 is only subject to the constraint force of the welding position. When the terminal 1 is pulled upward, the welding point and the point of action of the pulling force are not on the same line, so a torque (force multiplied by the arm of force) will be generated, making the terminal 1 easily deformed by the pulling force (that is, making the terminal 1 have the ability to deform upward), which is convenient for reasonably adjusting the relative position of the terminal 1 and the female end. When the terminal 1 is subjected to downward pressure, the support surface 131 is supported upward, making it difficult for the terminal 1 to deform, and preventing the terminal 1 from deforming downward.

[0166] It is worth noting that the female end slot is interference fit with the terminal 1. Therefore, when subjected to downward pressure, the terminal 1 must not be greatly deformed, otherwise the terminal 1 cannot be inserted into the female end slot. Due to the influence of tolerance, the accurate positioning cannot be guaranteed when the female end slot is plugged into the terminal 1. Usually, the plugging can only be completed by setting a guide on the female end or the terminal 1. Therefore, the terminal 1 has the ability to deform in the vertical upward direction, that is, the flexibility, which facilitates the accurate alignment of the terminal 1 with the female end opening to meet the assembly requirements of the terminal 1 and the female end.

[0167] In some embodiments, further, relative to one end of the second connecting section 12 connected to the supporting section 13, the first connecting section 11 extends obliquely along the circumferential direction of the busbar, such as Fig.13 shown.

[0168] In the present solution, the extension direction of the first connecting section 11 is not vertically arranged relative to the end of the second connecting section 12 connected to the support section 13, but is obliquely extended along the circumferential direction of the bus. This is beneficial to extending the length of the first connecting section 11, ensuring that the first connecting section 11 can have a sufficient contact surface with the corresponding connecting portion 32 of the bus to ensure reliable connection, and is beneficial to extending the length of the force arm when the terminal 1 is subjected to force, which is beneficial to improving the flexible deformation capacity of the terminal 1, and is convenient for reasonably designing the length and shape of the support section 13 according to needs to optimize product performance.

[0169] Specifically, the gap between the terminal 1 and the slot 221 along the thickness direction of the terminal 1 is recorded as a first gap 226; the gap between the support protrusion 121 and the limiting groove 2211 along the thickness direction of the terminal 1 is recorded as a second gap 227; the width of the second gap 227 is smaller than the width of the first gap 226, such as Figure 5 shown.

[0170] The first gap 226 is relatively large, which is conducive to better deformation of the terminal 1 in the circumferential, radial and vertical directions; while the second gap 227 is relatively small, which is conducive to preventing the second connecting section 12 from bending and becoming unstable and deformed when subjected to pressure.

[0171] The motor 51 provided in the embodiment of the third aspect of the present invention is as follows: Fig.19 As shown, it includes: a motor body and a busbar as in any one of the second aspect embodiments. Specifically, the motor body includes a stator 4, the stator 4 is provided with a winding, and the winding has two terminals. The connecting portion 32 of the busbar is connected to the terminal.

[0172] The motor 51 provided in the embodiment of the third aspect of the present invention includes the busbar of any one of the embodiments of the second aspect, and thus has all the beneficial effects of any of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0173] In one embodiment, the number of windings is 12, and the 12 windings are connected in a star connection manner.

[0174] Since 12 windings have 24 joints, a star connection is used, and the 12 wire ends at the starting ends of the 12 windings need to be connected together, and the end ends of windings 1, 4, 7, 10, the end ends of windings 2, 5, 8, 11, and the end ends of windings 3, 6, 9, 12 are connected together, respectively, so the wiring method is very complicated. The solution of the present application can effectively reduce the wiring difficulty, and the wiring method is simple and reliable. Of course, the number of windings is not limited to 12, and can also be 9, 15, etc.; the connection method of the windings is not limited to the above method, and can also be a triangle connection or other methods.

[0175] The electric power steering system 5 provided by the embodiment of the fourth aspect of the present invention is as follows: Fig. 20 As shown, it includes: a motor 51 and a control device 52 as in any one of the embodiments of the third aspect, and the control device 52 is electrically connected to the motor 51.

[0176] The electric power steering system 5 provided in the embodiment of the fourth aspect of the present invention includes the motor 51 of the embodiment of the third aspect, and thus has all the beneficial effects of any of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0177] Specifically, the control device 52 includes but is not limited to a vehicle speed sensor, an electronic control unit (ECU, Electronic Control Unit, also known as "driving computer", "on-board computer", etc.), etc.

[0178] It is understandable that the Electric Power Steering system 5 (EPS) is a power steering system that directly relies on the motor 51 to provide auxiliary torque. Compared with the traditional hydraulic power steering system HPS (Hydraulic Power Steering), the EPS system has many advantages. The EPS is mainly composed of a torque sensor, a vehicle speed sensor, a motor, a speed reduction mechanism, and an electronic control unit (ECU).

[0179] The vehicle 6 provided by the embodiment of the fifth aspect of the present invention is as follows Fig.21 As shown, it includes: a vehicle body 61 and a motor 51 as any one of the embodiments of the third aspect, and the motor 51 is installed in the vehicle body 61.

[0180] The vehicle 6 provided in the embodiment of the fifth aspect of the present invention includes the motor 51 of the embodiment of the third aspect, and thus has all the beneficial effects of any of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0181] A specific example is introduced below by taking the 8P12S permanent magnet motor 51 as an example.

[0182] An 8P12S permanent magnet motor 51 includes a busbar with flexible terminals 1 .

[0183] The busbar is first injected as a whole, and the molding diagram after injection molding is as follows: Fig.16 and Fig.17 shown.

[0184] The injection molded frame 2 has a reserved slot 221 to facilitate the subsequent assembly of the terminal 1. Fig.18 shown.

[0185] The outer ring of the skeleton 2 is evenly distributed with three hooks (also called hooks 23), which are numbered as the first hook, the second hook, and the third hook. Among them, the first hook and the second hook have a slot in the middle, and the total width is B1, and the third hook has no slot in the middle, and the total width is B2. When assembling the busbar, the three hooks need to be hooked into the skeleton slot of the stator 4 (i.e., the slot 41 of the stator 4) in sequence, and the width of the skeleton slot of the stator 4 is B3. The current design size B2<B3<B1. Therefore, the third hook can be easily hooked into the slot without interference, while the first hook and the second hook interfere with the slot, and need to be squeezed and deformed from the side to make the overall width of the first hook and the second hook narrower before they can be hooked into the slot. The advantage of this design is that after the first hook and the second hook are hooked into the slot, due to the effect of elastic force, the side of the first hook and the second hook fits tightly with the side of the slot, and has a certain bonding force, so the assembly of the busbar will be more reliable.

[0186] If the design is not done in this way, the following problems will inevitably occur: If the three hooks are to be hooked into the slots 41 smoothly, the conventional method is to design the width of the hook to be smaller than the width of the slot, that is, there is a gap between the hook and the slot. This design will lead to two problems: 1. If the gap is too large, the busbar is easy to loosen; 2. If the gap is too small, due to the size tolerance and position tolerance of the hook and the slot, it is likely that one of the hooks will not be easy to put in.

[0187] Terminal 1 is designed as a double L-shape. Fig.10 , Fig.14 and Fig.15 As shown, it is assembled into the reserved notch of the busbar skeleton 2, as shown in FIG. Fig.18 shown.

[0188] When the terminal 1 is lifted, only the welding point constrains the terminal 1, and the welding point and the point of force are not in a straight line. Therefore, a moment of force (force multiplied by the arm of force) is formed, making it easy for the terminal 1 to deform under tension.

[0189] When the terminal 1 is pressed downward, the supporting mating surface 222 of the frame 2 supports the terminal 1, protecting the terminal 1 from deformation. In addition, the two supporting protrusions 121 of the terminal 1 protect the terminal 1 from instability and deformation when it is subjected to downward pressure. The terminal 1 and the frame 2 of the busbar are clearance-matched in both radial and circumferential directions, so it is easy to deform under force in these two directions.

[0190] Through the above design, the terminal 1 can be easily deformed in the vertical, radial and circumferential directions, but difficult to be deformed in the vertical downward direction.

[0191] This design simulates the stress conditions when the terminal 1 is plugged into the female end. The female end slot has an interference fit with the terminal 1. Therefore, when the terminal 1 is subjected to vertical pressure, it must not be greatly deformed. Due to the influence of tolerance, when the female end slot is plugged into the terminal 1, accurate positioning cannot be guaranteed, and the plugging can only be completed by setting a guide on the female end or the terminal 1. Therefore, the terminal 1 has the ability to deform in the circumferential, radial and vertical directions, that is, the flexibility, which can effectively reduce the difficulty of assembly and improve the assembly yield. This design just meets the above assembly requirements.
