[0084] The specific implementation of the present disclosure is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described herein is only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure, and is not used to limit the present disclosure.

[0085] In the present disclosure, unless otherwise stated, directional words such as "above, below" and the like are usually defined in terms of the drawing direction of the corresponding drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present disclosure and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, and a specific orientation structure and operation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present disclosure. "Inside" and "outside" refer to the inside and outside of the corresponding component outline. The terms "first" and "second" are used for the purpose of distinguishing different components and do not have sequentiality or importance. Among them, the attached drawings are not necessarily the same as the attached drawings. Figure 1The X direction shown may be the first direction, the Y direction may be the second direction, and the Z direction may be the plugging direction of the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3. In addition, in the following description, when referring to the drawings, unless otherwise explained, the same reference numerals in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.

[0086] In the description of the present disclosure, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "connect", "connected", and "installed" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0087] As mentioned above, in the related art, during the process of aligning and plugging two connectors, the connectors are prone to wear. Research has found that the reason why the connectors are prone to friction is that due to the heavy weight of the module parts, it is inconvenient to move and align them. There may be a situation where the plug-in positions of the two connectors are not aligned, but the two connectors are directly docked. Thereafter, during the process of adjusting the plug-in positions, the two connectors are in rigid contact, which can easily cause wear on the connectors. Moreover, during the plug-in process, the two connectors are directly connected hard along the plug-in direction of the two connectors, that is, a rigid connection is performed. The rigid contact and rigid friction under the rigid connection can easily cause wear on the connector, thus shortening the service life of the connector and reducing the reliability of the connector connection.

[0088] In view of this, if Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the present disclosure provides a connection structure, including a first connection structure 2 and a second connection structure 3. The first connection structure 2 is suitable for being arranged in a module 1 (such as Figure 1 On the module 1 located above the drawing, the second connection structure 3 is suitable for being arranged on another module 1 (such as Figure 1The first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3 can cooperate with each other during the plugging process, so that the first connection structure 2 can move relative to the module 1 provided with the first connection structure 2 and / or the second connection structure 3 can move relative to the module 1 provided with the second connection structure 3, so that the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3 can move relative to each other and guide the first connection structure 2 and / or the second connection structure 3 to a predetermined plugging and matching position. Through the above technical solution, in the process of connecting two modules 1, the first connection structure 2 can move relative to the module 1 provided with the first connection structure 2, or the second connection structure 3 can move relative to the module 1 provided with the second connection structure 3, or the first connection structure 2 can move relative to the module 1 provided with the first connection structure 2, and the second connection structure 3 can move relative to the module 1 provided with the second connection structure 3, so that the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3 can move relative to each other, thereby facilitating the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3 to be guided to the predetermined plug-in mating position, and improving the convenience of connecting the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3. At the same time, the subsequent step of adjusting the plug-in position of the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3 can be omitted, thereby avoiding the wear of the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3 caused by the subsequent adjustment of the plug-in position of the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3.

[0089] Furthermore, compared to the method of rigidly plugging two connecting parts in the related art (a method in which the two connecting parts can neither rotate nor move), in the present disclosure, since the first connecting structure 2 and the second connecting structure 3 can move relatively during the plugging process of the first connecting structure 2 and the second connecting structure 3, the impact force of the first connecting structure 2 and the second connecting structure 3 during the plugging process can be buffered, thereby avoiding rigid contact and rigid friction between the first connecting structure 2 and the second connecting structure 3, which is conducive to realizing a flexible connection between the first connecting structure 2 and the second connecting structure 3, and can reduce the wear of the first connecting structure 2 and the second connecting structure 3, thereby helping to extend the service life of the first connecting structure 2 and the second connecting structure 3, and improve the reliability of the connection between the first connecting structure 2 and the second connecting structure 3.

[0090] Here, it should be noted that a flexible connection refers to a connection method in which a certain amount of displacement is generated between the connecting parts by deformation or an angle with the connection direction of the connecting parts, so as to be able to buffer the impact force of the two connecting parts along the connection direction during the connection process. In the present disclosure, the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3 can cooperate with each other during the plug-in process, so that the first connection structure 2 can move relative to the module 1 provided with the first connection structure 2 and / or the second connection structure 3 can move relative to the module 1 provided with the second connection structure 3, so that the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3 can move relatively, which is a flexible connection.

[0091] It can be understood that the first connection structure 2 can move relative to the module 1 provided with the first connection structure 2, which may refer to the first connection structure 2 as a whole being able to move relative to the module 1, or to some parts of the first connection structure 2 being able to move relative to the module 1. Similarly, the second connection structure 3 can move relative to the module 1 provided with the second connection structure 3, which may refer to the second connection structure 3 as a whole being able to move relative to the module 1, or to some parts of the second connection structure 3 being able to move relative to the module 1. The present disclosure does not limit this.

[0092] In addition, it can be understood that in the present disclosure, the module 1 can be a module 1 for mechanical connection, or a module 1 for electrical connection. That is, the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3 can be mechanically connected or electrically connected. The module 1 can be any component that is appropriately connected using the connection structure provided by the present disclosure, and the module 1 includes but is not limited to a battery module.

[0093] In the present disclosure, any appropriate structure may be provided on the connection structure to realize the solution that the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3 can be relatively movable and guide the first connection structure 2 and / or the second connection structure 3 to a predetermined plug-in mating position, and the present disclosure does not limit this. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the first connection structure 2 is provided with a first guide portion 4, and the second connection structure 3 is provided with a second guide portion 5. The first guide portion 4 is suitable for cooperating with the second guide portion 5 during the plug-in process of the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3, so that the first connection structure 2 can move relative to the module 1 provided with the first connection structure 2 and / or the second connection structure 3 can move relative to the module 1 provided with the second connection structure 3, so that the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3 can move relative to each other and guide the first connection structure 2 and / or the second connection structure 3 to a predetermined plug-in matching position. In this way, during the plug-in matching process of the two modules 1, the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3 can move relative to each other through the guiding cooperation of the first guide portion 4 and the second guide portion 5, so that the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3 can be guided to a predetermined plug-in matching position, and the rigid contact and rigid friction between the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3 can be avoided, so as to realize the flexible connection of the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3, and reduce the wear of the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3.

[0094] It is understood that, during the plugging process, the relative movement of the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3 includes but is not limited to that both the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3 can rotate and / or both can move, or only one of them can rotate and / or one of them can move, for example Figures 1 to 3 The second connecting structure 3 rotates and / or moves, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0095] As an exemplary embodiment, the first guide portion 4 is suitable for cooperating with the second guide portion 5 during the plug-in connection process of the first connecting structure 2 and the second connecting structure 3, so that the first connecting structure 2 and the second connecting structure 3 can rotate relative to each other, so as to guide the first connecting structure 2 and the second connecting structure 3 to a predetermined plug-in connection position, and buffer the impact force of the first connecting structure 2 and the second connecting structure 3 by the relative rotation of the first connecting structure 2 and the second connecting structure 3.

[0096] In the present disclosure, for making the first connecting structure 2 and / or the second connecting structure 3 (such as Figures 1 to 3 Optionally, in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the first guide portion 4 is adapted to cooperate with the second guide portion 5 during the plugging process of the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3, so that the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3 can rotate relative to each other around the plugging direction Z of the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3, for example, Figures 1 to 3As shown, the second connection structure 3 can rotate relatively around the plugging direction Z of the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3, so as to decompose the impact force of the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3 along the plugging direction Z of the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3, thereby buffering the impact force of the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3. In this embodiment, the direction of the rotation axis of the first connection structure 2 or the second connection structure 3 is consistent with the plugging direction Z.

[0097] It is understandable that in other embodiments of the present disclosure, the direction of the rotation axis of the first connection structure 2 and / or the second connection structure 3 may form a non-90° angle with the plugging direction Z. That is, the direction of the rotation axis of the first connection structure 2 or the second connection structure 3 may intersect with the plugging direction Z (not parallel).

[0098] In the present disclosure, in order to further buffer the impact force of the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3 along the plugging direction Z and improve the effect of the flexible connection. Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the connection structure also includes an elastic member 9. The elastic member 9 is used to provide an elastic force in the opposite direction of rotation of the first connection structure 2 and / or the second connection structure 3 during the relative rotation of the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3. That is to say, the impact force of the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3 along the plug-in direction Z causes the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3 to rotate relative to each other, and the elastic force provided by the elastic member 9 can slow down the relative rotation of the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3, so as to further buffer the impact force, further enhance the effect of the flexible connection between the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3, and enhance the stability of the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3 during the plug-in process. In addition, the elastic member 9 can also keep the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3 in the initial plug-in position, so as to facilitate the plug-in of the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3 along the plug-in direction Z.

[0099] In order to facilitate the connection between the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3, optionally, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, as Figure 1As shown, the first connection structure 2 includes a first mounting member 202 and a first connection member 201, the first connection member 201 is mounted on the first mounting member 202, and the first guide portion 4 is arranged on the first mounting member 202; the second connection structure 3 includes a second mounting member 302 and a second connection member 302, the second connection member 301 is mounted on the second mounting member 302, and the second guide portion 5 is arranged on the second mounting member 302. The first mounting member 202 can rotate relative to the first connection member 201, and / or the second mounting member 302 can rotate relative to the second connection member 301. That is to say, the first guide portion 4 is not provided on the first connecting member 201, and the second guide portion 5 is not provided on the second connecting member 301. In this way, it is allowed that the structures of the first connecting member 201 and the second connecting member 301 are not modified, thereby ensuring the reliability of the connection (such as electrical connection) between the first connecting member 201 and the second connecting member 301, and it is also possible to reduce the restrictions on the structure and material used by the first guide portion 4 and the second guide portion 5, as long as the structure and material used by the guide portion do not affect the reliability of the connection (such as electrical connection) between the first connecting member 201 and the second connecting member 301. In addition, the first mounting member 202 can rotate relative to the first connecting member 201, or the second mounting member 302 can rotate relative to the second connecting member 301, or the first mounting member 202 can rotate relative to the first connecting member 201, and the second mounting member 302 can rotate relative to the second connecting member 301, which is conducive to further realizing the flexible connection between the first connecting structure 2 and the second connecting structure 3.

[0100] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first connector 201 is adapted to be plugged in with the second connector 301 to achieve electrical connection between the two module components 1. As mentioned above, the flexible connection between the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3 can reduce the impact force during the plugging and matching of the first connector 201 and the second connector 301, reduce the wear of the first connector 201 and the second connector 301, and ensure the service life of the first connector 201 and the second connector 301 and the reliability of the electrical connection between the first connector 201 and the second connector 301.

[0101] It should be noted that when the first connecting member 201 and the second connecting member 301 are plugged together, the first mounting member 202 and the second mounting member 302 can also be plugged together. Therefore, when the first connecting member 201 and the second connecting member 301 are plugged together, the first mounting member 202 can be mounted outside the second mounting member 302, or the second mounting member 302 can be mounted outside the first mounting member 202.

[0102] The present disclosure does not limit the specific structure of the second mounting member 302. Optionally, Figure 1As shown, the second mounting member 302 includes a first cylindrical portion 3021 , and the first cylindrical portion 3021 is sleeved on the outside of the second connecting member 301 , so that the first cylindrical portion 3021 can protect the second connecting member 301 .

[0103] See also Figure 1 and Figure 5 Optionally, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second mounting member 302 further includes a mounting seat 3022, and the mounting seat 3022 is suitable for being mounted to the corresponding module member 1 (such as Figure 1 On the module 1 located below the drawing, the first cylindrical portion 3021 is rotatably connected to the mounting seat 3022 around the plugging direction Z. In other words, the first cylindrical portion 3021 can be rotatably connected to the corresponding module 1 through the mounting seat 3022, which can reduce the change to the original structure of the module 1.

[0104] In order to further reduce the impact force when the first connector 201 and the second connector 301 are plugged together, Figure 5 As shown, the elastic member 9 is disposed between the first cylindrical portion 3021 and the mounting seat 3022, and is used to provide an elastic force in the opposite direction of rotation of the first cylindrical portion 3021 during the process of the first cylindrical portion 3021 rotating around the plugging direction Z. In this way, during the plugging and matching process of the first connector 201 and the second connector 301, on the basis of the first cylindrical portion 3021 rotating and / or moving to reduce the impact force, the elastic force provided by the elastic member 9 to reduce the rotation of the first cylindrical portion 3021 further reduces the impact of the impact force during the plugging and matching, so as to smoothly guide the first connector 201 and the second connector 301 to the predetermined plugging and matching position, and at the same time, to improve the effect of the flexible connection.

[0105] The present disclosure does not limit the specific type of the elastic member 9 and its installation structure. Figure 5 and Figure 7In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a slide groove 10 and a stopper 11 are provided on the mounting seat 3022. The stopper 11 has a first stopper surface 1101 and a second stopper surface 1102 opposite to each other. One end of the slide groove 10 extends to the first stopper surface 1101, and the other end of the slide groove 10 extends to the second stopper surface 1102. The end surface of one end of the first cylindrical portion 3021 that is suitable for connecting with the mounting seat 3022 is provided with a recess 12, and the recess 12 has a first side wall 1201 and a second side wall 1202 opposite to each other in the circumferential direction. One end of the elastic member 9 abuts against the first stopper surface 1101, and the other end abuts against the first side wall 1201, and the second stopper surface 1102 is suitable for abutting against the second side wall 1202. That is to say, in the present disclosure, the arc length of the recess 12 is greater than the arc length of the stopper 11, the end of the first cylindrical portion 3021 connected to the mounting seat 3022 can be clamped in the slide slot 10, and the recess 12 can be clamped outside the stopper 11, and the elastic member 9 can be arranged in the slide slot 10 and between the recess 12 and the stopper 11. In this way, when the first cylindrical portion 3021 rotates around the plugging direction Z, the first side wall 1201 of the recess 12 squeezes the elastic member 9, so that the elastic member 9 is compressed to generate resistance, so as to slow down the rotation speed of the first cylindrical portion 3021, thereby further reducing the impact force.

[0106] As an exemplary embodiment, the elastic member 9 can be a spring. When the first cylindrical portion 3021 does not rotate, the spring can be in a free state in the slide groove 10, and the free state is a state in which the spring is not stretched or compressed. In addition, in the free state of the spring, the first cylindrical portion 3021 can be in an initial position, which is a position in which the first guide portion 4 and the second guide portion 5 can be aligned and abutted when the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3 are plugged in along the plug-in direction Z. It should be noted that after the first connector 201 and the second connector 301 complete the plug-in fit, although the spring will be in a compressed state, the elastic force generated by the spring at this time is not enough to drive the first cylindrical portion 3021 to rotate, and the plug-in fit of the first connector 201 and the second connector 301 is also avoided. When the first connector 201 and the second connector 301 are out of plug-in fit, the first cylindrical portion 3021 can be rotated and reset to the initial position under the elastic force of the spring.

[0107] Here, in order to further reduce the wear of the first connector 201 and the second connector 301 during the plug-in mating process. In view of this, optionally, the first end of the first guide portion 4 and the first end of the first mounting member 202 are at a first distance, the first end of the first connector 201 and the first end of the first mounting member 202 are at a second distance, and the first distance is smaller than the second distance; the first end of the second guide portion 5 and the first end of the second mounting member 302 are at a third distance, the first end of the second connector 301 and the first end of the second mounting member 302 are at a fourth distance, and the third distance is smaller than the fourth distance. Among them, the first end of the first guide portion 4, the first end of the first connecting member 201, and the first end of the first mounting member 202 are respectively in the plug-in direction Z, and the first guide portion 4, the first connecting member 201, and the first mounting member 202 are respectively close to one end of the second connecting structure 3; the first end of the second guide portion 5, the first end of the second connecting member 301, and the first end of the second mounting member 302 are respectively in the plug-in direction Z, and the second guide portion 5, the second connecting member 301, and the first mounting member 202 are respectively close to one end of the first connecting structure 2.

[0108] In other words, the position of the first guide portion 4 on the first mounting member 202 and the position of the second guide portion 5 on the first mounting member 202 are set so that, during the plug-in process, the contact between the first guide portion 4 and the second guide portion 5 occurs before the contact between the first connecting member 201 and the second connecting member 301. With this arrangement, before the contact between the first connecting member 201 and the second connecting member 301, the first guide portion 4 and the second guide portion 5 can cause the first connecting structure 2 and the second connecting structure 3 to rotate relative to each other, thereby reducing the impact force when the first connecting member 201 and the second connecting member 301 are plugged in and matched, and further reducing the wear of the first connecting member 201 and the second connecting member 301.

[0109] The present disclosure does not limit the specific structure of the first mounting member 202. Optionally, Figure 1 As shown, the first mounting member 202 includes a second cylindrical portion 2021, and the second cylindrical portion 2021 is sleeved on the outside of the first connecting member 201, so that the second cylindrical portion 2021 can protect the first connecting member 201. Here, the second cylindrical portion 2021 is fixedly arranged inside the corresponding module 1, and there is no limitation on the fixing method of the second cylindrical portion 2021 inside the module 1 in the present disclosure. As an exemplary embodiment, the second cylindrical portion 2021 can be welded inside the module 1.

[0110] It can be understood that, in the case where the first mounting member 202 can be fixedly mounted on the module member 1 and the second mounting member 302 can be rotatably mounted on the module member 1 around the plug-in direction Z, optionally, the inner wall of the second cylindrical portion 2021 is provided with a first protrusion or a first groove configured as the first guide portion 4, or the outer wall of the second cylindrical portion 2021 is provided with a first protrusion or a first groove configured as the first guide portion 4, and the first protrusion or the first groove is provided with a first guiding slope 6, and the first guiding slope 6 is set at an angle to the plug-in direction Z. During the plug-in process, the first guiding slope 6 is suitable for cooperating with the second guiding portion 5 to guide the second mounting member 302 to rotate around the plug-in direction Z. That is, for example, see Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the first guide portion 4 can be a first protrusion, which can be arranged on the inner wall of the second cylindrical portion 2021 and located between the inner wall of the second cylindrical portion 2021 and the first connecting member 201, or can be arranged on the outer wall of the second cylindrical portion 2021, and a first guiding slope 6 is arranged on the first protrusion.

[0111] In other embodiments, the first guide portion 4 may be a first groove, which may be disposed on the inner wall of the second cylindrical portion 2021 and located between the inner wall of the second cylindrical portion 2021 and the first connector 201, or may be disposed on the outer wall of the second cylindrical portion 2021, and the first groove may be provided with a first guiding slope 6. In the present disclosure, regardless of whether the first guide portion 4 is configured as a first protrusion or a first groove, during the plug-in mating process of the first connector 201 and the second connector 301, the first guiding slope 6 may cooperate with the second guide portion 5, and convert the movement of the second mounting member 302 along the plug-in direction Z into a spiral movement of rotating and approaching the first mounting member 202, so as to reduce the impact force during the plug-in mating of the first connector 201 and the second connector 301 in the process of guiding the first connecting structure 2 and the second connecting structure 3 to the predetermined plug-in mating position, so as to achieve the purpose of flexible connection.

[0112] As an exemplary embodiment, the inner wall of the second cylindrical portion 2021 is provided with a first protrusion configured as the first guide portion 4. The shape of the first protrusion is not limited in the present disclosure. Figure 3 As shown, the first protrusion can be configured as a strip, and the strip is arranged at an angle to the plug-in direction Z. The strip has a simple structure, and because the strip has a certain length along one direction, such a configuration can increase the length of the first guide slope 6, and during the plug-in matching process of the first connector 201 and the second connector 301, the time for the first guide slope 6 to match with the second guide portion 5 can be increased, so that the second mounting member 302 can continue to rotate, which is conducive to further reducing the impact force when the first connector 201 and the second connector 301 are plugged in and matched.

[0113] In order to enable the first guide slope 6 to quickly cooperate with the second guide portion 5 (such as the second guide slope 7 on the second guide portion 5 described below) when the first connector 201 is plugged into the second connector 301, optionally, as Figure 4 As shown, there are multiple first protrusions, and the multiple first protrusions are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the second cylindrical portion 2021.

[0114] Optionally, the outer wall of the first cylindrical portion 3021 is provided with a second protrusion or a second groove configured as the second guide portion 5, or the inner wall of the first cylindrical portion 3021 is provided with a second protrusion or a second groove configured as the second guide portion 5, and the second protrusion or the second groove is provided with a second guiding slope 7, and the second guiding slope 7 is set at an angle to the plugging direction Z. During the plugging process, the second guiding slope 7 is suitable for cooperating with the first guide portion 4 to guide the first cylindrical portion 3021 to rotate around the plugging direction Z. That is, for example, see Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the second guide portion 5 can be a second protrusion, which can be arranged on the inner wall of the first cylindrical portion 3021 and located between the inner wall of the first cylindrical portion 3021 and the second connecting member 301, or can be arranged on the outer wall of the first cylindrical portion 3021, and the second protrusion is provided with a second guide bevel 7 for easy cooperation with the first guide bevel 6.

[0115] In other embodiments, the second guide portion 5 may be a second groove, which may be provided on the inner wall of the second cylindrical portion 2021 and located between the inner wall of the second cylindrical portion 2021 and the first connector 201, or may be provided on the outer wall of the second cylindrical portion 2021, and the second groove may be provided with a second guide slope 7 that is convenient for cooperating with the first guide slope 6. In the present disclosure, regardless of whether the second guide portion 5 is configured as a second protrusion or a second groove, during the plug-in mating process of the first connector 201 and the second connector 301, the second guide slope 7 may cooperate with the first guide portion 4, and convert the movement of the first cylindrical portion 3021 along the plug-in direction Z into a spiral movement that rotates while approaching the first mounting member 202, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the impact force during the plug-in mating of the first connector 201 and the second connector 301 in the process of guiding the first connecting structure 2 and the second connecting structure 3 to the predetermined plug-in mating position.

[0116] In order to reduce the impact force of the first guide portion 4 on the second guide slope 7 and facilitate the cooperation between the two, optionally, as Figure 3As shown, the front end portion 8 of the second guiding bevel 7 is constructed as an arc-shaped surface. The front end portion 8 is the end of the second guiding bevel 7 that first contacts the first guide portion 4 during the plug-in process. In other words, during the contact between the first guide portion 4 and the second guide portion 5, the front end portion 8 of the arc-shaped surface can first contact the first guide portion 4 (such as the first guiding bevel 6 of the first guide portion 4), which can buffer the impact force brought by the first guide portion 4, reduce the degree of damage to the first guide portion 4 and the second guiding bevel 7, and facilitate the cooperation between the second guiding bevel 7 and the first guiding bevel 6.

[0117] In order to improve the impact resistance of the second protrusion, optionally, as Figure 3 As shown, the second protrusion has an opposite first end in the plugging direction Z (as shown in FIG. Figure 3 The upper end shown) and the second end (as shown Figure 3 The cross-sectional area of ​​the second end is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the first end. The first end is the end of the second protrusion that first contacts the first guide portion 4 during the plug-in process. As an exemplary embodiment, the cross-sectional area of ​​the second protrusion gradually increases from the first end to the second end. The cross-sectional area of ​​the first end is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the second end to facilitate the formation of the above-mentioned second guide slope 7, which facilitates the guidance of the first mounting member 202 (such as the first guide portion 4 of the first mounting member 202) when the second protrusion cooperates with the first guide portion 4, and the formation of the above-mentioned small upper and large lower structure is conducive to ensuring the reliability of the second protrusion when it is impacted.

[0118] In order to enable the second guiding inclined surface 7 to quickly cooperate with the first guiding portion 4 when the first connecting member 201 and the second connecting member 301 are plugged and matched, optionally, as Figure 5 As shown, there are multiple second protrusions, and the multiple second protrusions are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the first cylindrical portion 3021.

[0119] Optionally, the number of the second protrusions is the same as the number of the first guide portions 4, and each second protrusion is suitable for cooperating with the corresponding first guide portion 4. In the present disclosure, based on the above-mentioned setting that the first guide portion 4 is the first protrusion, that is, the number of the second protrusions can be the same as the number of the first protrusions, and each second protrusion is suitable for cooperating with the corresponding first protrusion. During the plug-in and mating process of the first connector 201 and the second connector 301, the first guide bevel 6 of the first protrusion contacts the second guide bevel 7 of the second protrusion, so that the first cylindrical portion 3021 moves spirally toward the second cylindrical portion 2021 under the action of the first guide bevel 6 and the second guide bevel 7, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the impact force when the first connector 201 and the second connector 301 are plugged in and mated. The provision of multiple first protrusions and multiple second protrusions can improve the reliability of guiding the rotation of the first cylindrical portion 3021.

[0120] like Figures 5 to 8As shown, in the present disclosure, the second mounting member 302 may further include a limiting assembly 3023, which is used to axially limit the first cylindrical portion 3021 on the mounting seat 3022, so that the first cylindrical portion 3021 can rotate relative to the mounting seat 3022 but will not separate from the mounting seat 3022.

[0121] The present disclosure does not limit the specific structure of the limit assembly 3023. As an exemplary implementation, Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the limiting assembly 3023 includes a limiting groove 30231 and a limiting protrusion 30232. The limiting protrusion 30232 is arranged on one of the second stop surface 1102 and the second side wall 1202, and the limiting groove 30231 is arranged on the other of the second stop surface 1102 and the second side wall 1202, and the limiting protrusion 30232 is plugged and matched with the limiting groove 30231.

[0122] For example, see Figure 7 and Figure 8 The limiting protrusion 30232 can be arranged on the second stop surface 1102, and can extend in the slide groove 10 along the extension direction of the slide groove 10; the limiting groove 30231 can be arranged on the second side wall 1202, and can extend in the first cylindrical part 3021 along the axial direction of the recess 12. When the first cylindrical part 3021 is connected with the mounting seat 3022, the end of the first cylindrical part 3021 connected with the mounting seat 3022 is clamped in the slide groove 10, the first side wall 1201 of the recess 12 abuts against one end of the elastic member 9, and the elastic member 9 is clamped in the slide groove 10 between the recess 12 and the stop portion 11, and the second side wall 1202 of the recess 12 is plugged and matched with the limiting protrusion 30232 on the second stop surface 1102 through the limiting groove 30231, so as to limit the first cylindrical part 3021 in the axial direction.

[0123] It can be understood that when the first side wall 1201 of the above-mentioned recess 12 abuts against one end of the elastic member 9, the elastic member 9 can be in a free state, and the second side wall 1202 of the recess 12 can be plugged into and matched with the limiting protrusion 30232 on the second stop surface 1102 through the limiting groove 30231; and when the first cylindrical portion 3021 rotates and the elastic member 9 is compressed, the limiting groove 30231 and the limiting protrusion 30232 have a sufficiently long matching length to adapt to the deformation of the elastic member 9, that is, when the elastic member 9 is continuously compressed, the limiting groove 30231 also has a sufficiently long length for the limiting protrusion 30232 to be inserted, and the limiting protrusion 30232 is always plugged into the limiting groove 30231, and will not affect the plug-in matching of the first connecting member 201 and the second connecting member 301.

[0124] In the present disclosure, it is considered that the module components 1 can be mass-produced, that is, the position where the first connection structure 2 is set on one module component 1 can be preset, and the position where the second connection structure 3 is set on another module component 1 can also be preset. Generally speaking, in the process of connecting two module components 1, it is only necessary to align the two module components 1 to achieve the plug-in of the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3. However, due to the influence of factors such as processing errors, there may be a deviation between the position where the first connection structure 2 is set on one module component 1 and the preset position, or the position where the second connection structure 3 is set on another module component 1 and the preset position, which will increase the difficulty of aligning the first connection structure 2 with the second connection structure 3.

[0125] In the present disclosure, in order to improve the accuracy of the plugging of the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3 and reduce the probability of the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3 being worn during the plugging process, the flexible connection of the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3 is realized. Optionally, as Figure 1 As shown, at least one of the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3 is suitable for being movably connected to the corresponding module 1 in the first direction X, so as to guide the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3 to a predetermined plug-in mating position, and the first direction X intersects with the plug-in direction Z of the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3. In this way, during the docking process of the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3, the movement of one or both of the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3 in the first direction X can eliminate the processing error on the one hand, and can also facilitate the alignment of the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3 on the other hand, so as to improve the accuracy of the plug-in of the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3. As an exemplary embodiment, the first direction X is perpendicular to the plug-in direction Z of the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3, so as to enhance the effect of the flexible connection of the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3.

[0126] In order to further improve the accuracy of the plugging of the first connecting structure 2 and the second connecting structure 3 and reduce the probability of the first connecting structure 2 and the second connecting structure 3 being worn during the plugging process, optionally, as Figure 1As shown, at least one of the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3 is suitable for being movably connected to the corresponding module 1 in the second direction Y. The second direction Y intersects with the first direction X, and the second direction Y and the first direction X are both located in a plane perpendicular to the plug-in direction Z. Therefore, during the docking process of the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3, one or both of the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3 can be moved in the first direction X or the second direction Y in a plane perpendicular to the plug-in direction Z to further eliminate the processing error and improve the accuracy of the plug-in of the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3. As an exemplary embodiment, the first direction X is orthogonal to the second direction Y.

[0127] Based on the above two modules 1 being electrically connected and the specific structure of the above second connection structure 3, optionally, as Figure 5 As shown, the first cylindrical portion 3021 is movably connected to the mounting seat 3022 in a first direction X, and the first direction X intersects with the plugging direction Z. By moving the first cylindrical portion 3021 in the first direction X, the plugging and matching of the second connecting member 301 and the first connecting structure 2 can be facilitated, thereby improving the plugging accuracy of the second connecting member 301 and the first connecting structure 2.

[0128] Alternatively, if Figure 5As shown, the mounting seat 3022 includes a first mounting block 30221 and at least two second mounting blocks 30222, the first cylindrical portion 3021 is connected to the first mounting block 30221, and the second connecting member 301 is fixed to the first mounting block 30221, for example, the second connecting member 301 is fixedly limited in the limiting through hole on the first mounting block 30221, so that the second connecting member 301 can move with the first mounting block 30221 (moving in the first direction X and the second direction Y as described below); the second mounting block 30222 is suitable for being installed to the corresponding module 1. The two second mounting blocks 30222 are arranged at intervals along the first direction X, and each second mounting block 30222 is provided with a step portion 13 on a side away from the first connecting structure 2, and there is an accommodating space 14 between the two step portions 13, and the length of the accommodating space 14 in the first direction X is greater than the length of the first mounting block 30221 in the first direction X. Thus, the first mounting block 30221 can be accommodated in the accommodation space 14 between the two step portions 13, which can prevent the first mounting block 30221 from being separated from the accommodation space 14 along the plug-in direction Z, and can move in the accommodation space 14 along the first direction X to eliminate the processing error of the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3 in the first direction X. Here, the second mounting block 30222 is fixedly arranged on the outside of the corresponding module 1, and there is no limitation on the fixing method of the second mounting block 30222 on the outside of the module 1 in the present disclosure. As an exemplary embodiment, the second mounting block 30222 can be fixed to the outside of the module 1 by bolts.

[0129] In order to facilitate the formation of the above-mentioned accommodating space 14, optionally, as Figure 1 As shown, the module 1 is provided with a cavity 15 for installing the first connection structure 2 or the second connection structure 3, and the second mounting block 30222 can be installed in the cavity 15 on the module 1; the two step portions 13 and the inner wall of the cavity 15 jointly define a receiving space 14, and the length of the receiving space 14 in the second direction Y is greater than the length of the first mounting block 30221 in the second direction Y; and the second direction Y and the first direction X are both located in a plane perpendicular to the plug-in direction Z. That is to say, after the first mounting block 30221 is accommodated in the receiving space 14, the first mounting block 30221 can move in the first direction X or the second direction Y in the receiving space 14 to eliminate the processing error, and the receiving space 14 can also limit the length of the first mounting block 30221 moving in the first direction X or the second direction Y, so as to prevent the first mounting block 30221 from escaping from the receiving space 14 in the first direction X or the second direction Y.

[0130] In the present disclosure, the first connection structure 2 can be provided on one module 1 to form a module assembly, and the second connection structure 3 can be provided on another module 1 to form another module assembly. During installation, the two modules can be assembled to form the following module equipment.

[0131] According to the second aspect of the present disclosure, a module device is provided, which includes the above-mentioned connection structure and multiple module components 1, at least two adjacent module components 1 among the multiple module components 1 are connected by the connection structure, and at least one of the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3 is movably arranged on the corresponding module component 1.

[0132] In the present disclosure, as an exemplary embodiment, the module device may be an energy storage device, and the module component 1 may be a battery module. Any two adjacent module components 1 among the plurality of module components 1 are electrically connected via a connection structure. In other words, the electrical connection of the connection structure is used to realize the electrical connection of the plurality of module components 1 to form an energy storage cabinet capable of supplying power to the outside, such as a power supply cabinet or a battery pack.

[0133] In order to facilitate the electrical connection between multiple module components 1, optionally, one of any two adjacent module components 1 connected by the connection structure is provided with a first via hole, and the other is provided with a second via hole. The first connection structure 2 includes a first connector 201, which passes through the first via hole and is electrically connected to the electrical components inside the corresponding module component 1. The second connection structure 3 includes a second connector 301, which passes through the second via hole and is electrically connected to the electrical components inside the corresponding module component 1. In this way, through the plug-in cooperation of the first connector 201 and the second connector 301, the electrical components inside the module component 1 corresponding to the first connector 201 are electrically connected to the module component 1 corresponding to the second connector 301. Here, the above-mentioned second cylindrical portion 2021 is provided with a first through hole connected to the first via hole, so that the first connecting member 201 passes through the first through hole and the second through hole respectively and is electrically connected to the electrical components inside the corresponding module component 1; the above-mentioned first cylindrical portion 3021 is provided with a second through hole and the first mounting block 30221 is provided with a third through hole, and the second through hole, the third through hole and the second via are connected to each other, so that the second connecting member 301 passes through the second through hole, the second through hole and the third through hole respectively and is electrically connected to the electrical components inside the corresponding module component 1.
