Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of battery technology, and in particular to a battery connection module. Background Art

[0002] Chinese patent CN209401680U discloses a battery module, which includes: a plurality of batteries arranged in the length direction; an end plate, which is arranged at the end of the plurality of batteries in the length direction; an FPC including a main body and a bending part, the main body is located above the corresponding battery in the height direction and is electrically connected to the corresponding battery, the bending part is bent and extended from the main body and is located at the lower side of the main body, and the bending part is fixedly connected to the end plate; a connector is fixedly connected to the bending part of the FPC and is electrically connected to the FPC. The connector is fixedly connected to the bending part of the FPC, and the bending part is fixedly connected to the end plate, so that the connector is fixed to the end plate via the FPC, and when the connector is subjected to vibration shock, the flexible characteristics of the FPC can be used to transmit and release the shock.

[0003] As mentioned above, the main body of the FPC described in the patent is usually connected to multiple sampling points, such as voltage collection and temperature collection. The more collection points there are, the more circuit traces there are on the FPC. The FPC needs to be wider, and even a multilayer board needs to be used for wiring. The difficulty of production will be greatly increased, and the cost is high. Furthermore, each FPC is connected to a connector separately. The connectors are located on the side and the distance between the connectors is very far apart, which will cause difficulties in operation and connection between the battery packs. In addition, the battery modules need to be separated by a distance to avoid covering the multiple connectors on the side, so as to facilitate the connection of the cables. The design scheme of the connector located on the side adopted in the above patent is obviously not conducive to the connection of the cables. Summary of the invention

[0067] Typical embodiments that embody the features and advantages of the present disclosure will be described in detail in the following description. It should be understood that the present disclosure can have various changes in different embodiments without departing from the scope of the present disclosure, and the descriptions and drawings therein are essentially for illustrative purposes rather than for limiting the present disclosure.

[0068] In the following description of different exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of the present disclosure and in which different exemplary structures, systems and steps that can implement multiple aspects of the present disclosure are shown by way of example. It should be understood that other specific schemes of components, structures, exemplary devices, systems and steps can be used, and structural and functional modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. Moreover, although the terms "above", "between", "within", etc. may be used in this specification to describe different exemplary features and elements of the present disclosure, these terms are used herein only for convenience, such as according to the direction of the examples described in the accompanying drawings. Nothing in this specification should be construed as requiring a specific three-dimensional orientation of the structure to fall within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0069] See also Figure 1 , which representatively shows a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the battery connection module proposed in the present disclosure when applied to a battery pack. In this exemplary embodiment, the battery connection module proposed in the present disclosure is explained by taking the application of connecting a battery array as an example. It is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that in order to apply the relevant designs of the present disclosure to other types of energy supply equipment, various modifications, additions, substitutions, deletions or other changes are made to the specific embodiments described below, and these changes are still within the scope of the principle of the battery connection module proposed in the present disclosure.

[0070] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the battery connection module proposed in the present disclosure includes a plurality of bus bars 100, a plurality of sampling circuit boards 200 and an integrated flexible circuit board. Figures 2 to 7 , Figure 2 Representatively shown in Figure 1 An enlarged schematic diagram of a portion of the area shown; Figure 3 A three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of a battery connection module is representatively shown in FIG. Figure 4 Representatively shown in Figure 1 A three-dimensional exploded schematic diagram of a sampling circuit board 200 is shown; Figure 5 Representatively shown in Figure 4 A three-dimensional exploded schematic diagram of a partial structure shown; Figure 6Representatively shown in Figure 5 An enlarged schematic diagram of a portion of the structure shown; Figure 7 Representatively shown in Figure 5 The enlarged schematic diagram of the partial structure is shown. The structure, connection mode and functional relationship of the main components of the battery connection module proposed in the present disclosure will be described in detail below in conjunction with the above drawings.

[0071] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the battery array can be divided into a plurality of battery groups arranged side by side, such as but not limited to the four battery groups shown in the accompanying drawings. A plurality of busbars 100 are used to connect a plurality of batteries 510 of the battery array, the busbars 100 are connected to the electrodes 511 (e.g., poles) of the batteries 510, and the busbars 100 have voltage collection points. The sampling circuit board 200 extends along the length direction from the back to the front, and the sampling circuit board 200 includes a first flexible circuit board 210 and a second flexible circuit board 220 that are independent and can overlap each other. The first flexible circuit board 210 extends in a continuous convex-concave waveform along the length direction, and the first flexible circuit board 210 has a plurality of left convex portions 214 facing the left direction, and the left convex portion 214 is provided with a collection connection portion connected to the voltage collection point. The second flexible circuit board 220 extends in a continuous convex-concave waveform along the length direction, and the second flexible circuit board 220 has a plurality of right convex portions 224 facing the right direction, and the right convex portion 224 is provided with a collection connection portion connected to the voltage collection point. The left protrusion 214 of the first flexible circuit board 210 and the right protrusion 224 of the second flexible circuit board 220 are staggered along the length direction. The integrated flexible circuit board is connected to the sampling circuit board 200 .

[0072] Through the above design, the present disclosure arranges the left protrusion 214 of the first flexible circuit board 210 and the right protrusion 224 of the second flexible circuit board 220 staggered along the length direction, so that the collection connection parts (such as the connection protrusion 211, the conductive sheet 212, the support arm flexible circuit board 230, etc.) of the first flexible circuit board 210 are all arranged on the left side of the left protrusion 214, and the collection connection parts (such as the connection protrusion 221, the conductive sheet 222, the support arm flexible circuit board 230, etc.) of the second flexible circuit board 220 are all arranged on the right side of the right protrusion 224. Accordingly, after the first flexible circuit board 210 and the second flexible circuit board 220 are stacked, the collection connection parts (such as the connection protrusion, the conductive sheet, the support arm flexible circuit board 230, etc.) on the first flexible circuit board 210 and the second flexible circuit board 220 are respectively located on the left and right sides and staggered along the length direction without overlapping. Through the design of splitting the above sampling circuit board 200 into two flexible circuit boards and then combining them, the present disclosure can reduce the number of wiring layers and density on each flexible circuit board, so that a more cost-effective flexible circuit board can be used for production, such as a single-layer flexible circuit board. Furthermore, through the overlapping design of the above sampling circuit board 200, the present disclosure can significantly reduce the space occupied by the sampling circuit board 200. In addition, the present disclosure can separately produce the two flexible circuit boards that overlap each other in the sampling circuit board 200, and the main body of the flexible circuit board extends in a straight line along a length direction, and in the panel arrangement of the raw material flexible circuit board, the convex part of one of the adjacent flexible circuit boards can be arranged in a manner that extends into the concave part of the other flexible circuit board. During production, the panel of the flexible circuit board can be more tightly arranged, and more flexible circuit boards can be arranged in the same area, which greatly reduces the difficulty of production and improves the utilization rate of materials, thereby significantly reducing costs.

[0073] It should be noted that the so-called "waveform" in this specification specifically refers to the first flexible circuit board 210 and the second flexible circuit board 220 being respectively in a continuous S-shaped structure, that is, extending along a serpentine path, and no matter the above-mentioned waveform, continuous S-shape or serpentine shape, they are all arranged along a plane parallel to the top surface of the battery 510 (for example, a horizontal plane). Furthermore, the so-called "continuous concave and convex" means that on the above-mentioned plane, the flexible circuit board has a plurality of bending units arranged continuously, of which one part convexly protrudes to the left and the other part convexly protrudes to the right, and the bending units convexly protruding to the left and the bending units convexly protruding to the right are arranged alternately along the overall length direction of the flexible circuit board, thereby forming a continuous concave and convex structure. For example, for the first flexible circuit board 210, its various collecting connection parts (such as the connecting protruding piece 211, the conductive piece 212, the arm flexible circuit board 230, etc.) are all located in the bending units convexly protruding to the left, and these bending units can be understood as "convex" parts, and the remaining bending units (i.e., the bending units convexly protruding to the right) can be understood as "concave" parts. Similarly, for the second flexible circuit board 220, its various collecting connection parts (such as the connecting protrusion 221, the conductive sheet 222, the support arm flexible circuit board 230, etc.) are all located in the bending units protruding to the right. These bending units can be understood as "convex" parts, and the remaining bending units (i.e., the bending units protruding to the left) can be understood as "concave" parts.

[0074] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the battery connection module proposed in the present disclosure includes a plurality of bus bars 100, a plurality of sampling circuit boards 200 and an integrated flexible circuit board. These bus bars 100 are used to connect a plurality of batteries 510 of a battery array, and the bus bars 100 serve as voltage collection points. The sampling circuit board 200 extends along a length direction from back to front, and the front end of the sampling circuit board 200 has a connection portion bent to the front side of the battery array. A front side plate 620 is provided on the front side of the battery array 500, and the connection portion of the front end of the sampling circuit board 200 is located on the outer surface of the front side plate 620.
