Power distribution devices can also be used in batteries to control the charging and discharging of batteries. The electrical components in the power distribution device usually have an electrical connection structure for electrical connection with other electrical components, but the electrical components in the power distribution device are compactly arranged, the spacing between the two electrical components is small, and the spacing between the electrical connection structures of the two electrical components is small, resulting in poor insulation between the electrical connection structures of the two electrical components, affecting the reliability of the power distribution device. Summary of the invention

[0006] In the power distribution device of the embodiment of the present application, in the first electrical device and the second electrical device, an insulating member is provided between the first electrical connection structure of the first electrical device and the second electrical connection structure of the second electrical device. The first electrical connection structure and the second electrical connection structure are insulated and separated by the insulating member, which can improve the insulation performance between the first electrical connection structure and the second electrical connection structure, that is, the insulation between the electrical connection structures of the two electrical devices is improved, the risk of short circuit is reduced, and it is beneficial to improve the reliability of the power distribution device.

[0007] In one embodiment, an insulating member is provided at a position where the first electrical connection structure and the second electrical connection structure are at the shortest distance.

[0008] By adopting the technical solution of this embodiment, the creepage distance between the first electrical connection structure and the second electrical connection structure is the smallest at the position with the shortest distance, and the insulation of the first electrical connection structure and the second electrical connection structure at the position with the shortest distance is poor, resulting in a higher risk of short circuit. The insulating part is arranged at the position where the distance between the first electrical connection structure and the second electrical connection structure is the shortest, which can effectively improve the insulation at this position, effectively reduce the risk of short circuit of the electrical connection structure of the two electrical components, and effectively improve the reliability of the distribution device.

[0108] The first electrical connection structure 111 and the second electrical connection structure 121 are spaced apart from each other. It is understandable that a gap is formed between the first electrical connection structure 111 and the second electrical connection structure 121 so that the first electrical connection structure 111 and the second electrical connection structure 121 do not contact each other, thereby reducing the risk of short circuit.

[0109] An insulating member 130 is provided between the first electrical connection structure 111 and the second electrical connection structure 121. It can be understood that the insulating member 130 is located between the first electrical connection structure 111 and the second electrical connection structure 121, that is, the insulating member 130 is located in the gap formed between the first electrical connection structure 111 and the second electrical connection structure 121. The insulating member 130 can insulate and separate the first electrical connection structure 111 and the second electrical connection structure 121 to improve the insulation between the first electrical connection structure 111 and the second electrical connection structure 121.

[0110] In the power distribution device 100 of the embodiment of the present application, in the first electrical device 110 and the second electrical device 120, an insulating member 130 is provided between the first electrical connection structure 111 of the first electrical device 110 and the second electrical connection structure 121 of the second electrical device 120. The insulating member 130 insulates and separates the first electrical connection structure 111 and the second electrical connection structure 121, which can improve the insulation performance between the first electrical connection structure 111 and the second electrical connection structure 121, that is, the insulation between the electrical connection structures of the two electrical devices is improved, the risk of short circuit is reduced, and it is beneficial to improve the reliability of the power distribution device 100.

[0111] In another embodiment of the present application, Figure 7 As shown, the first electrical connection structure 111 and the second electrical connection structure 121 are provided with an insulating member 130 at a position where the distance is shortest.

[0112] When the spacing between the first electrical connection structure 111 and the second electrical connection structure 121 is the same at any position, the position at which the first electrical connection structure 111 and the second electrical connection structure 121 are at the shortest distance may refer to any position between the first electrical connection structure 111 and the second electrical connection structure 121; and when the spacing between the first electrical connection structure 111 and the second electrical connection structure 121 is different at different positions, the position at which the first electrical connection structure 111 and the second electrical connection structure 121 are at the shortest distance may refer to the position at which the spacing between the first electrical connection structure 111 and the second electrical connection structure 121 is the smallest.

[0113] By adopting the technical solution of this embodiment, the creepage distance of the first electrical connection structure 111 and the second electrical connection structure 121 is the smallest at the position with the shortest distance, that is, the insulation of the first electrical connection structure 111 and the second electrical connection structure 121 at the position with the shortest distance is poor, and the risk of short circuit is high. The insulating member 130 is arranged at the position with the shortest distance between the first electrical connection structure 111 and the second electrical connection structure 121, which can effectively improve the insulation at this position, thereby effectively reducing the risk of short circuit of the electrical connection structure of the two electrical devices, thereby effectively improving the reliability of the distribution device 100.

[0114] In another embodiment of the present application, Figure 7 As shown, the distance between the first electrical connection structure 111 and the second electrical connection structure 121 at the shortest distance is in the range of 3 mm to 9 mm.

[0115] The smaller the distance L between the first electrical connection structure 111 and the second electrical connection structure 121 at the shortest position, the more likely a short circuit will occur.

[0116] By adopting the technical solution of this embodiment, the spacing L at the shortest position between the first electrical connection structure 111 and the second electrical connection structure 121 is within 3mm to 9mm, which is prone to short circuit. The insulating member 130 is arranged at the shortest position between the first electrical connection structure 111 and the second electrical connection structure 121, which can effectively improve the insulation between the first electrical connection structure 111 and the second electrical connection structure 121, thereby effectively reducing the risk of short circuit.

[0118] By adopting the technical solution of this embodiment, the spacing L at the shortest position between the first electrical connection structure 111 and the second electrical connection structure 121 is within 3mm to 6mm, which is more prone to short circuit. The insulating member 130 is arranged at the shortest position between the first electrical connection structure 111 and the second electrical connection structure 121, which can effectively improve the insulation between the first electrical connection structure 111 and the second electrical connection structure 121, thereby effectively reducing the risk of short circuit. In addition, a larger installation space can be provided for the insulating member 130 between the first electrical connection structure 111 and the second electrical connection structure 121, so that the insulating member 130 can be arranged larger, so that the insulating member 130 can better insulate and separate the first electrical connection structure 111 and the second electrical connection structure 121.

[0124] When the first electrical connection structure 111 and the second electrical connection structure 121 are located between the first electrical connector 1112 and the second electrical connector 1212 at the shortest distance, an insulating member 130 is provided between the first electrical connector 1112 and the second electrical connector 1212; it can be understood that the spacing between the first terminal 1111 and the second terminal 1211, the spacing between the first electrical connector 1112 and the second terminal 1211, and the spacing between the first terminal 1111 and the second electrical connector 1212 are all greater than the spacing between the first electrical connector 1112 and the second electrical connector 1212, that is, the spacing between the first electrical connector 1112 and the second electrical connector 1212 is equal to the minimum spacing between the first electrical connection structure 111 and the second electrical connection structure 121, and the insulating member 130 is located at the minimum spacing, which can effectively improve the insulation of the first electrical connection structure 111 and the second electrical connection structure 121, thereby effectively reducing the short circuit risk of the first electrical connection structure 111 and the second electrical connection structure 121, and improving the reliability of the distribution device 100.

[0125] By adopting the technical solution of this embodiment, the insulating part 130 is arranged at the position where the distance between the first electrical connection structure 111 and the second electrical connection structure 121 is the shortest. This can effectively improve the insulation of the first electrical connection structure 111 and the second electrical connection structure 121, thereby effectively reducing the short circuit risk between the first electrical connection structure 111 and the second electrical connection structure 121, and improving the reliability of the distribution device 100.

[0126] In another embodiment of the present application, Fig.14 and Fig.15 As shown, the first electrical connection structure 111 includes a first terminal 1111 and a first electrical connector 1112, and the first electrical connector 1112 is electrically connected to the first terminal 1111; the second electrical connection structure 121 includes a second terminal 1211 and a second electrical connector 1212, and the second electrical connector 1212 is electrically connected to the second terminal 1211; an insulating member 130 is provided between the first terminal 1111 and the second terminal 1211, and an insulating member 130 is provided between the first electrical connector 1112 and the second electrical connector 1212.

[0129] The relay in the power distribution device 100 is usually set in the high-voltage circuit. The relay can refer to an electrical device used to control the on and off of the circuit. Specifically, the relay includes components such as an electromagnet, a coil, and a contact. When the input quantity (such as voltage, current, temperature, etc.) of the input coil reaches a specified value, the electromagnet moves under the magnetic force of the coil, and the movement of the electromagnet drives the movement of the contact, thereby changing the on and off state of the controlled high-voltage circuit.

It can be understood that, in the case where the second electrical device 120 is the second relay 1201, the second terminal 1211 may refer to a connection terminal to which the contact of the second relay 1201 is electrically connected. The connection terminal is used to connect to a high-voltage circuit and control the on-off of the high-voltage circuit by opening and closing the contact. For example, the second terminal 1211 includes a second electrical connection portion 12111 and a second bolt 12112. The second electrical connection member 1212 is fixed to the second electrical connection portion 12111 by the second bolt 12112, thereby achieving electrical connection between the second terminal 1211 and the second electrical connection member 1212.
