Motor, electric control, and battery technologies are basic technologies, and the technology of integrating the whole vehicle is more difficult and requires higher standards. The integration and manufacturing of new energy vehicle whole vehicles represent the peak of automotive technology. In the process of the development of new energy vehicles, corresponding aluminum alloy flat cables are required. For this reason, the Chinese patent discloses a flexible flat cable that is easy to connect, with the application number 202411666605.4. Through the cooperation between the plug and the socket, this patent can connect two cable units, thereby freely adjusting the length of the flat cable to meet the usage requirements of different scenarios or devices. And through the rotation of the balls and the rotation of the rollers, it is convenient to insert the plug into the socket or pull it out from the socket.

If the heat generated by the flat cable is allowed to spread randomly during the long-term driving of new energy vehicles, it will cause the temperature of other electronic components arranged around the flat cable to continue to rise, thereby causing faults during the operation of the electronic components, and further reducing the usage safety of the flat cable.

[0036] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The structure of the present invention is scientific and reasonable, and it is safe and convenient to use:

[0037] 1. A multifunctional directional heat conduction and circulation mechanism is provided. Through the mutual cooperation among the components inside the multifunctional directional heat conduction and circulation mechanism, the temperature regulation process during the use of the flat cable is optimized. The internal temperature of the flat cable is isolated and protected by the aerogel thermal insulation layer to prevent the heat generated during the use of the flat cable from spreading randomly to the surroundings of other electrical components inside the new energy vehicle. Through the circulation of the heat-conducting oil inside the diversion outer tube and the return inner tube, the heat inside the flat cable is directionally transferred, and the flat cable is cooled during the circulation of the heat-conducting oil, thereby ensuring that the internal temperature of the flat cable can be maintained within a suitable temperature range during use, effectively preventing the heat generated during the operation of the flat cable from spreading randomly and causing abnormal temperature rise of the surrounding electronic components, affecting the normal use, ensuring that the flat cable will not affect the normal use of the vehicle during use, and effectively improving the use safety of the flat cable;

[0038] Through the mutual cooperation among the components inside the active circulation bottom box and the passive circulation bottom box, the flow process of the heat-conducting oil inside the diversion outer tube and the return inner tube is optimized. Through the mutual cooperation between the mini motor and the mini infusion auger, the heat-conducting oil can be driven for active circulation, and through the mutual cooperation between the diversion bent plate and the driving paddle, the heat-conducting oil is driven to circulate by the airflow generated during the vehicle's travel. Through the mutual cooperation between the driving counterweight and the support spring, the kinetic energy of the driving counterweight rising and falling during the bumpy travel of the vehicle can be used to drive the heat-conducting oil to circulate, further optimizing the circulation mode of the heat-conducting oil inside the diversion outer tube and the return inner tube, making full use of various external conditions during the use of the flat cable, and further improving the use convenience of the flat cable;

[0039] Moreover, the aluminum alloy solid conductor is limited and clamped through the cooperation of the heat-conducting silica gel sheet and the central connecting sleeve to prevent the aluminum alloy solid conductor from shifting randomly during installation and use, and the heat on the aluminum alloy solid conductor can be conducted, so that the heat on the aluminum alloy solid conductor can be transferred to the inside of the diversion outer tube more quickly. The positions of the passive circulation bottom box and the active circulation bottom box are adjusted and installed through the length-variable connecting inner hard tube and the connecting outer hard tube, so that the active circulation bottom box can obtain sufficient air flow during use, and the passive circulation bottom box can obtain sufficient vibration during use, thereby effectively improving the convenience and stability of the flat cable in use.

[0040] 2. An outer ring protection and installation mechanism is provided. Through the mutual cooperation among the components inside the outer ring protection and installation mechanism, the installation and protection process of the flat cable is optimized. The overall outside of the flat cable is protected through the mutual cooperation between the installation protection strip and the protection side strip, and the side of the installation protection strip is locally hardened through the protection hard piece, so that the side of the protection hard piece can be extruded and strengthened during the installation of the flat cable. The overall flat cable is limited through the extrusion deformation of the protection side strip, thereby effectively improving the tightness and stability of the flat cable installation.

[0041] At the same time, the overall deformation ability of the protection side strip can be improved through the extrusion arc groove, the structural hardness inside the protection side strip is increased through the central support elastic sheet, and the inside of the protection side strip is flexibly supported through the elastic buffer airbag, further improving the installation stability and fitting tightness of the flat cable. The central support elastic sheet is limited and assisted through the mutual cooperation between the elastic groove and the central connecting cable to ensure that the central support elastic sheet can still maintain sufficient shape and elasticity during the bending process of the flat cable, further improving the installation stability and installation strength of the cable.

[0042] In summary, through the mutual cooperation among the components inside the multi-functional directional heat-conducting circulation mechanism and the outer ring protection and installation mechanism, the installation process and use process of the flat cable are optimized. Through the mutual cooperation among the components outside the composite insulation layer, the flat cable can maintain sufficient contact with the installation channel during the installation process, thereby effectively improving the installation stability of the flat cable. At the same time, through the transfer and adjustment of the internal temperature during the use process of the flat cable, it is ensured that the heat generated during the use process of the flat cable will not diffuse randomly and affect the normal use of the surrounding electronic components, thereby effectively improving the use safety of the cable. At the same time, through the mutual cooperation among the components inside the active circulation bottom box and the passive circulation bottom box, the heat-conducting process and heat-dissipating process of the flat cable can make full use of the air flow and vibration in the working environment, further improving the convenience of the flat cable in use.

Through the mutual cooperation among the components inside the multi-functional directional heat conduction circulation mechanism 3, the temperature adjustment process during the use of the flat cable is optimized. The temperature inside the flat cable is isolated and protected by the aerogel heat insulation layer 301 to prevent the heat generated during the use of the flat cable from randomly diffusing to the surroundings of other electrical components inside the new energy vehicle. Then, the heat inside the flat cable is directionally transferred through the circulation of the heat-conducting oil inside the diversion outer pipe 306 and the return inner pipe 307, and the flat cable is cooled during the circulation of the heat-conducting oil, thereby ensuring that the temperature inside the flat cable can be maintained within a suitable range during use and effectively preventing the heat generated during the operation of the flat cable from randomly diffusing and causing abnormal temperature rise of the surrounding electronic components, which affects the normal use, ensuring that the flat cable does not affect the normal use of the vehicle during use, and effectively improving the use safety of the flat cable;

[0078] Through the mutual cooperation among the components inside the active circulation bottom box 313 and the passive circulation bottom box 320, the flow process of the heat-conducting oil inside the diversion outer pipe 306 and the return inner pipe 307 is optimized. Through the mutual cooperation between the mini motor 317 and the mini infusion auger 318, the heat-conducting oil can be driven to circulate actively. Through the mutual cooperation between the diversion bent plate 314 and the driving paddle 319, the airflow generated during the driving of the vehicle is used to drive the heat-conducting oil to circulate. Through the mutual cooperation between the driving counterweight block 328 and the support spring 329, the kinetic energy of the lifting and falling of the driving counterweight block 328 during the bumpy driving of the vehicle can be used to drive the heat-conducting oil to circulate, further optimizing the circulation mode of the heat-conducting oil inside the diversion outer pipe 306 and the return inner pipe 307, making full use of various external conditions during the use of the flat cable, and further improving the use convenience of the flat cable;

[0079] Moreover, the aluminum alloy solid conductor 1 is limited and clamped through the cooperation of the heat-conducting silica gel sheet 303 and the central connecting sleeve 304 to prevent the aluminum alloy solid conductor 1 from shifting randomly during installation and use, and the heat on the aluminum alloy solid conductor 1 can be conducted, so that the heat on the aluminum alloy solid conductor 1 can be transferred to the inside of the diversion outer tube 306 more quickly. The positions of the passive circulation bottom box 320 and the active circulation bottom box 313 are adjusted and installed through the length-variable connecting inner hard tube 310 and the connecting outer hard tube 311, so that the active circulation bottom box 313 can obtain sufficient air flow during use, and the passive circulation bottom box 320 can obtain sufficient vibration during use, thereby effectively improving the convenience and stability of the flat cable in use;

[0080] An outer ring protection and installation mechanism 4 is arranged on the outside of the composite insulation layer 2;

[0081] The outer ring protection and installation mechanism 4 includes an installation protection strip 401, a protection hard sheet 402, a protection side strip 403, an extrusion arc groove 404, a central support elastic sheet 405, an elastic groove 406, a central expansion groove 407, a central connecting cable 408 and an elastic buffer airbag 409;

[0082] Installation protection strips 401 are bonded to both the top and bottom of the outside of the composite insulation layer 2. Protection hard sheets 402 are evenly embedded in the middle of the side of the installation protection strip 401 at equal intervals. The side of the protection hard sheet 402 is flush with the side of the installation protection strip 401. The inner side of the protection side strip 403 is closely attached to the outside of the composite insulation layer 2. The side of the installation protection strip 401 and the protection side strip 403 are connected through a card slot;

[0083] A protective side strip 403 is fixedly connected between the sides of two installation protective strips 401. Extrusion arc grooves 404 are provided at both the top and bottom of the protective side strip 403. Center support elastic sheets 405 are evenly inserted and installed at equal intervals in the middle of the inner side of the protective side strip 403. Elastic grooves 406 are evenly opened at equal intervals at the ends of the center support elastic sheets 405. A center expansion groove 407 is opened in the middle of one side of the center support elastic sheet 405. A center connecting cable 408 is inserted and installed in the middle of the center support elastic sheet 405. Elastic buffer air bags 409 are inserted and installed at both the top and bottom of the protective side strip 403. The outer side of the center support elastic sheet 405 is closely attached to the inner side of the protective side strip 403. After being squeezed, the elastic buffer air bag 409 is compressed. Through the mutual cooperation between the components inside the outer ring protection installation mechanism 4, the installation protection process of the flat cable is optimized. The outer side of the flat cable is protected as a whole through the mutual cooperation between the installation protective strip 401 and the protective side strip 403, and the side of the installation protective strip 401 is locally hardened through the protective hard sheet 402, so that the side of the protective hard sheet 402 can be squeezed and strengthened when the flat cable is installed. Then, the overall flat cable is limited by the extrusion deformation of the protective side strip 403, thereby effectively improving the tightness and stability of the flat cable installation;

[0084] At the same time, the overall deformation ability of the protective side strip 403 can be improved through the extrusion arc groove 404. Then, the internal structural hardness of the protective side strip 403 is improved through the center support elastic sheet 405, and the inner part of the protective side strip 403 is flexibly supported through the elastic buffer air bag 409, further improving the installation stability and fitting tightness of the flat cable. The center support elastic sheet 405 is limited and assisted through the mutual cooperation between the elastic groove 406 and the center connecting cable 408 to ensure that the center support elastic sheet 405 can still maintain sufficient shape and elasticity during the bending process of the flat cable, further improving the installation stability and installation strength of the cable.

[0085] The working principle and usage process of the present invention: In the actual application process of the present invention, during the use of the aluminum alloy flat cable, the aluminum alloy solid conductor 1 needs to be first connected to a suitable position for power supply, and the outer side of the aluminum alloy solid conductor 1 is protected through the composite insulation layer 2. When it is necessary to direct the heat generated during the long-term operation of the flat cable, the composite insulation layer 2 is isolated through the aerogel thermal insulation layer 301 to prevent the heat generated during the use of the flat cable from diffusing out randomly;

[0086] Then, the heat-conducting silica gel sheet 303 and the central connecting sleeve 304 are evenly installed inside the composite insulating layer 2 through the limiting central groove 302. The central connecting sleeves 304 are flexibly limited by the limiting elastic wires 305, and the two aluminum alloy solid conductors 1 are limited by the cooperation between the heat-conducting silica gel sheet 303 and the central connecting sleeve 304 to prevent the aluminum alloy solid conductors 1 from shifting during the use of the flat cable.

[0087] When it is necessary to continue to direct the heat inside the flat cable, the heat-conducting oil inside the diversion outer tube 306 absorbs the heat generated by the aluminum alloy solid conductor 1. When it is necessary to assist the circulation of the heat-conducting oil inside the diversion outer tube 306 and the return inner tube 307, the mini motor 317 is started to drive the mini infusion auger 318 to rotate continuously. During the rotation of the mini infusion auger 318, the heat-conducting oil inside the connected installation cover 316 continuously enters the connecting inner hard tube 310, and a continuous negative pressure is generated inside the connected installation cover 316, so that the heat-conducting oil inside the diversion outer tube 306 can continuously flow into the connected installation cover 316 through the connecting outer hard tube 311. Thus, the local circulation of the heat-conducting oil inside the diversion outer tube 306 and the return inner tube 307 is realized, and the heat generated by the aluminum alloy solid conductor 1 is carried away from the inside of the flat cable during the circulation of the heat-conducting oil.

[0088] When the high-temperature heat-conducting oil circulates through the inside of the connected installation cover 316, the airflow generated during the driving of the new energy vehicle can pass through the holes in the protective end plate 315 and enter the active circulation bottom box 313. The airflow entering the active circulation bottom box 313 is directionally guided by the diversion bent plate 314. The continuously flowing airflow drives the driving paddle 319 to rotate continuously, and during the rotation of the driving paddle 319, it assists the mini infusion auger 318 to rotate. At the same time, the continuously flowing airflow inside the active circulation bottom box 313 can also assist the heat-conducting oil inside the connected installation cover 316 to dissipate heat.

[0089] When the new energy vehicle is running at a low speed, the temperature inside the flat cable is relatively low, and passive heat dissipation of the flat cable is required. The inertial force generated during the bumpy driving of the vehicle is used to assist in driving the counterweight 328 to overcome the supporting elastic force of the supporting spring 329 for periodic lifting. During the lifting and lowering of the counterweight 328, the driving rectangular piece 326 and the connecting crank 327 are driven to lift and lower synchronously. When the driving rectangular piece 326 descends inside the driving square end box 324, a negative pressure will be generated inside the driving square end box 324. The heat-conducting oil inside the diversion outer tube 306 is pumped into the driving square end box 324 through the liquid discharge side tube 322 in cooperation with the diversion concentric cover 321, and the heat-conducting oil inside the two driving square end boxes 324 is connected and flows through the liquid guide side square tube 325. When the driving rectangular piece 326 rises, a pressure can be generated inside the driving square end box 324, so that the heat-conducting oil inside the driving square end box 324 can introduce the heat-conducting oil into the connecting inner hard tube 310 through the cooperation of the diversion concentric cover 321 and the return side tube 323;

[0090] When it is necessary to enhance the heat dissipation efficiency inside the flat cable, the connecting rubber plug 312 can be removed, and then the ends of the diversion outer tube 306 and the return inner tube 307 are respectively connected to the inlet and outlet ends of an external radiator to enhance the heat dissipation efficiency during the heat-conducting oil circulation process. At the same time, by changing the lengths of the connecting inner hard tube 310 and the connecting outer hard tube 311, the positions of the active circulation bottom box 313 and the passive circulation bottom box 320 are changed and adjusted to ensure that sufficient air flow can enter the active circulation bottom box 313 and ensure that the passive circulation bottom box 320 can vibrate sufficiently;

[0091] When auxiliary installation of the flat cable is required, affected by the shape of the flat cable, the flat cable often gets stuck in the plate groove at the bottom of the vehicle during installation. When the flat cable needs to be snapped into the groove, the outer side of the flat cable is protected by installing the protective strip 401 and the protective side strip 403 to prevent damage to the outer skin of the flat cable during installation, which affects the normal protection of the outer side of the flat cable. The side of the installation protective strip 401 is rigidly protected by the protective hard piece 402, thereby effectively improving the mechanical strength of the flat cable;

[0092] When the flat cable needs to be snapped into the groove, the inside of the protective side strip 403 is mechanically elastically supported by the central support elastic piece 405, and the elastic groove 406 assists the central support elastic piece 405 to bend and deform. Then, the central expansion groove 407 assists the central support elastic piece 405 to deform, and the central connecting cable 408 assists in connecting between the central support elastic pieces 405. The elastic deformation of the elastic buffer airbag 409 makes the outer side of the protective side strip 403 fit more closely with the inner wall of the groove, so as to achieve the tight installation of the flat cable.

[0093] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only preferred examples of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features.
