The words "example" or "for example" or the like are intended to present a clear concept in a clear manner.

[0051] Before introducing the support and electrical connection assembly of the present application, first introduce the related background information of the embodiments of the present application.

[0052] In the related art, the output of high-voltage current of the battery module and the collection of cell signals both need to pass through a CCS assembly (Cells Contact System, battery module collection integrated part). The CCS assembly includes multiple metal rows. The multiple metal rows are respectively busbars for connecting multiple cells in series to form a battery module and first output poles for outputting high-voltage current of the battery module. The high-voltage current output mode of the battery module is: first, a set of first output poles of the CCS assembly is electrically connected with a cross-over row through a bolt, the cross-over row is electrically connected to the input end of the BDU module through a bolt, and finally the high-voltage current of the battery module is output by the BDU module. And the voltage collection mode of the battery module is: first, the busbar and another set of first output poles of the CCS assembly are welded with a wire harness, and then the wire harness is connected to the voltage collection end of the BMS board through a connector. This high-voltage current output mode and voltage signal collection mode have many problems, which are as follows:

[0053] 1. Since the CCS assembly needs to be connected with the BDU module through a set of first output poles to transmit high-voltage current, and the CCS assembly also needs to be electrically connected with the BMS board through another set of first output poles to collect the voltage signal of the output pole of the battery module, which results in that the CCS needs to be configured with two sets of first output poles, thereby increasing the structural complexity and material cost of the electrical connection part of the battery module, and thus reducing the assembly efficiency;

[0054] 2. Since the first output poles of the CCS assembly, the cross-over row and the BDU module are all connected through bolts, which increases the electrical installation process, and the installation of the cross-over row needs manual positioning, thereby increasing the installation process cost of the battery module process and reducing the assembly efficiency;

[0055] 3. Since the wire harness welded on the first output poles and the busbar needs to be arranged between the CCS assembly and the BMS board, and the voltage signal collected by the wire harness is transmitted to the BMS board through an adapter, the configuration of the wire harness and the connector increases the material cost of the electrical connection of the battery module. And the wire harness and the connector need to be configured with related process flow to be fixed and arranged, which increases the electrical installation process and the installation process cost, thereby reducing the assembly efficiency of the power battery module.

[0056] Based on this, the present application provides a bracket and an electrical connection assembly, which will be described in detail below.

[0057] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the bracket 002 provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 This is a side view of the bracket 002 provided in an embodiment of this application. An embodiment of this application provides a bracket 002. The bracket 002 includes a first bracket 216 and a second bracket 217. The first bracket 216 has a first side and a second side facing away from each other. The first side is used to mount a CCS assembly. The second bracket 217 extends from the second side in a direction away from the first bracket 216, and a first mounting groove 2171 for mounting a BMS board is provided on the side of the second bracket 217 facing away from the first bracket 216. A first slot 215 penetrating a first sidewall 213 of the first mounting groove 2171 is provided at one end of the groove. The first sidewall 213 is used to contact a BDU module. A first through hole 214 is provided on the first side, communicating with the bottom of the first mounting groove 2171. The first through hole 214 is used for electrical connection between the CCS assembly and the BMS board, and the first slot 215 is used for electrical connection between the BMS board and the BDU module.

[0058] It is understood that the bracket 002 is an insulating component, which insulates and isolates the parts between the CCS module and the battery cell that do not require electrical connection. For example, the bracket 002 is a plastic component, and its material can be engineering plastic, specifically a mixture of PC resin and ABS resin. The output terminal of the CCS module is electrically connected to the input terminal of the BMS board, and the output terminal of the BMS board is electrically connected to the input terminal of the BDU module. At least one of the output terminal of the CCS module and the input terminal of the BMS is located in the first through hole 214. At least one of the output terminal of the BMS board and the input terminal of the BDU module is located in the first slot 215.

[0059] The CCS component's output terminal serves as both the first output electrode and the busbar. The BMS board's input terminal is the voltage acquisition terminal, and its output terminal transmits the high-voltage current from the CCS component to the BDU module.

[0060] For example, the input terminal of the BMS board is located on the side of the first through hole 214 away from the first side, and the output terminal of the CCS component passes through the first through hole 214 and is electrically connected to the input terminal of the BMS board. The input terminal of the BDU module is located on the side of the first slot 215 away from the first mounting slot 2171, and the output terminal of the BMS board extends out of the first slot 215 and is electrically connected to the input terminal of the BDU.

[0061] In the embodiment, by integrating the first bracket for mounting the CCS assembly and the second bracket for mounting the BMS plate, and arranging the BDU module adjacent to the BMS plate, the CCS assembly can be directly electrically connected with the BMS plate through the first through hole 214 for transmission of the voltage signal, and the BMS plate can be electrically connected with the BDU module through the first slot 215 for output of the high-voltage current. In this way, on the one hand, the CCS assembly can realize transmission of the voltage signal and output of the high-voltage current by using a set of first output poles, thereby reducing a set of first output poles, and finally simplifying the structure of the electrical connector of the battery module and improving the installation efficiency. On the other hand, the jumper row, bolts, wire harnesses, connectors and other components and related installation processes can be omitted, thereby further reducing the material cost and the related installation process cost of the electrical connector.

[0062] Referring to FIG. 1, in an embodiment, the first side is provided with a second mounting groove for mounting the CCS assembly, and the first through hole 214 is arranged at the groove bottom of the second mounting groove.

[0063] It can be understood that the first output poles of the CCS assembly and the bus bar can be embedded in the second mounting groove, and can be further bonded in the second mounting groove by glue.

[0064] In the embodiment, by arranging the second mounting groove to mount the CCS assembly, the CCS assembly can be positioned based on the groove wall of the second mounting groove, thereby improving the position accuracy of the CCS assembly and improving the assembly efficiency.

[0065] Referring to FIG. 1, Figure 1 In an embodiment, the second mounting groove includes a plurality of sub-grooves 2161. The groove bottom of each sub-groove 2161 is provided with a first through hole 214.

[0066] It can be understood that the first output poles of the CCS assembly and the bus bar correspond to the plurality of sub-grooves 2161 one by one, and are mounted in the corresponding sub-grooves 2161.

[0067] In the embodiment, by arranging the second mounting groove as a plurality of sub-grooves 2161, the first output poles of the CCS assembly and the bus bar can be respectively located in a sub-groove 2161, thereby respectively mounting and positioning the first output poles and the bus bar based on the plurality of sub-grooves 2161, and further improving the position accuracy of the CCS assembly.

[0068] Referring to FIG. 1, Figure 3 , Figure 3is a top view of the bracket 002 provided by an embodiment of the present application. In an embodiment, the CCS assembly is used to connect with the battery cell, a plurality of sub-slots 2161 are sequentially arranged along a first direction, and along a second direction, two ends of the sub-slot 2161 are symmetric to each other. The first direction and the second direction are both perpendicular to the axial direction of the battery cell, and the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0069] Exemplarily, the second bracket 217 is arranged opposite to the symmetry center of the sub-slot 2161. The first bracket 216 is a rectangular plate, which has a long side and a short side. The first direction is parallel to the long side, and the second direction is parallel to the short side. The first bracket 216 has a center of symmetry parallel to the long side.

[0070] In the embodiment, by arranging the sub-slot 2161 into a symmetric structure, the load of the bracket 002 can be balanced, so that the gravity of the CCS assembly borne by the bracket 002 is more uniformly distributed, thereby reducing the condition of unilateral overload or uneven force on both sides of the bracket 002, and further improving the stability and carrying capacity of the bracket 002.

[0071] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 is Figure 1 is an enlarged view of A in FIG. 16. In an embodiment, the bottom of the sub-slot 2161 is provided with a matching rib 2162, and the matching rib 2162 is provided with a second through hole 2163.

[0072] It can be understood that the busbar is located in the first sub-slot 2161, and the busbar is provided with a notch matched with the matching rib 2162. By matching the notch with the matching rib 2162, the matching surface between the busbar and the first sub-slot 2161 can be increased, thereby improving the positional stability of the busbar.

[0073] In addition, when the battery operates to generate heat and the busbar expands, the busbar can extrude the matching rib 2162 to deform the second through hole 2163, thereby providing a buffer space for the expansion and deformation of the busbar, further improving the stress state of the busbar, and finally improving the working stability of the busbar.

[0074] Please refer to Figure 4 In an embodiment, the matching rib 2162 includes a first segment 2164 and a second segment 2165, one end of the first segment 2164 is connected with the slot wall of the sub-slot 2161, the other end is connected with one end of the second segment 2165, and the first segment 2164 and the second segment 2165 have an included angle therebetween. At least part of the slot wall of the sub-slot 2161, the first segment 2164 and the second segment 2165 enclose the hole wall of the second through hole 2163.

[0075] Exemplarily, the included angle between the first segment 2164 and the second segment 2165 ranges from 100° to 170°, which includes but is not limited to 100°, 120°, 133°, 145°, 160°, and 170°.

[0076] In the embodiment, the setting described above makes the fitting rib 2162 have multiple fitting surfaces with the busbar in multiple directions. In this way, on the one hand, the fitting rib 2162 can position the busbar in multiple directions, thereby improving the position accuracy of the busbar. On the other hand, the fitting rib can provide a buffer space for the expanded busbar in multiple directions, thereby further improving the stress state of the busbar.

[0077] Please refer to Figure 2 In an embodiment, the second side is provided with a cell mounting area 218. The cell mounting area 218 is two and is located on both sides of the second support 217. The first side is further provided with a pole connecting hole 21612 inside the first support 216. The pole connecting hole 21612 is in communication with the cell mounting area.

[0078] It can be understood that the cell mounting area 218 is used for mounting the cell. One end of the CCS assembly located in the second mounting groove is connected with the pole of the cell through the pole connecting hole 21612. Generally, the pole connecting hole 21612 opposite to the positive electrode of the cell is a round hole, and the pole connecting hole 21612 opposite to the negative electrode of the cell is a sector hole, as shown in Figure 3 .

[0079] Exemplarily, the two cell mounting areas 218 are located on both sides of the width direction of the first mounting groove 2171. In this way, the BMS board and the BDU module can be located between the two cell mounting areas 218, and the support 002 can be a left-right symmetrical structure, so as to facilitate the arrangement and installation of related components.

[0080] In the embodiment, by setting the cell mounting area 218 and the second support 217 on the same side of the first support 216, the structural compactness of the battery module using the support 002 can be improved.

[0081] In an embodiment, the first support 216 and the second support 217 are integrally formed.

[0082] Exemplarily, the first support 216 and the second support 217 are integrally injection molded.

[0083] In the embodiment, by integrally forming the first support 216 and the second support 217, the strength of the support as a whole can be improved, so that the support of the CCS assembly is more stable.

[0084] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 ,Figure 5 is a structural schematic diagram of the bracket 002 from a bottom perspective provided by an embodiment of the present application, Figure 6 is a structural schematic diagram of one end of the first side wall 213 away from the first bracket 216 provided by an embodiment of the present application. In an embodiment, the one end of the first side wall 213 away from the first bracket 216 is provided with a positioning opening 2131, which is in communication with the first slot 215.

[0085] It can be understood that the positioning opening 2131 cooperates with the BMS board. Specifically, a boss is provided on the shell of the BMS board, which is clamped with the positioning opening 2131 when the BMS board is installed in the first mounting slot 2171.

[0086] In addition, positioning openings are provided at both slot ends of the first mounting slot 2171 and close to one side of the slot of the first mounting slot 2171. Correspondingly, bosses are provided at both ends of the shell of the BMS board.

[0087] In the present embodiment, by providing the positioning opening 2131, the cooperation surface of the second bracket and the BMS board is increased, so that the position accuracy of the BMS board relative to the bracket can be improved, thereby facilitating the electrical connection of the BMS board with the BDU and the CCS assembly.

[0088] Please refer to Figure 4 In an embodiment, a plurality of glue-filling through holes are provided on the first bracket.

[0089] It can be understood that after the components such as the battery cell, the bracket, etc. are installed in the battery box, in order to ensure the electrical connection stability of each electrical component and control the vibration during transportation, it is necessary to glue-filling, so as to glue the battery cell, the bracket, the CCS assembly, etc. as a whole by glue.

[0090] In addition, the glue-filling hole can not only play a glue-filling role, but also realize the lightweight of the bracket, thereby facilitating the control of the weight of the battery.

[0091] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 is a structural schematic diagram of the electrical connection assembly 001 provided by an embodiment of the present application. Accordingly, an embodiment of the present application also provides an electrical connection assembly 001, which comprises a CCS assembly 011, a BMS board 012, a BDU module 013 and the aforementioned bracket 002. The CCS assembly 011 is installed on the first side. The BMS board 012 is installed in the first mounting slot 2171; the BDU module 013 abuts against the first side wall 213. The electrical connection structure between the CCS assembly 011 and the BMS board 012 is located in the first through hole 214. The electrical connection structure between the BMS board 012 and the BDU module 013 is located in the first slot 215.

[0092] The CCS assembly 011 has a first output pole 111 and a plurality of busbar groups 112. The BMS board 012 has a second output pole 122 and a plurality of voltage collection terminals 121, as shown in Figure 8 Figure 8 Figure 1 is a structural diagram of the BMS board 012 according to an embodiment of the present application. In general, the voltage collection terminals 121 at both ends of the BMS board 012 are used to collect the output pole voltage of the battery module.

[0099] In the embodiment, by plugging the first input pole 131 with the second output pole 122, on the one hand, the BDU module 013 can be positioned relative to the BMS plate 012 based on the plugging structure, thereby improving the position accuracy of the BDU module 013. On the other hand, the electrical connection structure between the first input pole 131 and the second output pole 122 is simple, easy to operate, and convenient for subsequent maintenance.
