Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of energy storage system application equipment, and in particular relates to an energy storage connector for an air cooling system. Background Art

[0002] In modern energy storage systems, energy storage connectors are used for power transmission or signal transfer. However, existing energy storage connectors on the market generally have several shortcomings. First, most existing products are developed separately for each number of interfaces (e.g., single-channel, dual-channel, triple-channel, quad-channel, etc.). This necessitates the design and manufacture of separate molds for each interface, resulting in high production costs. Second, although some products utilize a modular design, the lack of effective connections between multiple components often results in products with large lengths and widths, making them prone to warping and deformation, impacting performance and reliability.

[0003] Furthermore, many existing products feature U-shaped copper terminals with internal threads on the through-holes at both ends. While these connections can be established after tightening, they are prone to thread slippage, resulting in a loose connection. This not only increases resistance but can also cause temperature rise, posing a potential safety hazard. Furthermore, existing products generally lack effective safety features to fully safeguard users during operation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an energy storage connector for air-cooling systems that improves overall performance, reduces production and operating costs, and enhances safety and reliability. Furthermore, the terminal design can accommodate a variety of application scenarios with varying numbers of connectors, ensuring a convenient and effective installation process.

[0005] In order to achieve the above technical purpose, the technical solution of the present invention is:

[0006] A energy storage connector for an air-cooling system includes a left-end fixing frame, a right-end fixing frame, and at least one intermediate fixing frame. The left-end fixing frame, the intermediate fixing frame, and the right-end fixing frame are arranged in sequence. A conductive component accommodating cavity is formed between the left-end fixing frame and the adjacent intermediate fixing frame, between the right-end fixing frame and the adjacent intermediate fixing frame, and between adjacent intermediate fixing frames (if any). A conductive component is arranged in the conductive component accommodating cavity. The conductive component includes a support column, an upper bolt and an upper nut are provided at the top of the support column, the upper nut is located in the upper nut limiting hole at the top of the support column, a lower bolt and a lower nut are provided at the bottom of the support column, the lower nut is located in the lower nut limiting hole at the bottom of the support column, the upper bolt and the lower bolt are connected through a conductive sheet, and the conductive sheet has an upper bolt hole for the upper bolt to pass through and a lower bolt hole for the lower bolt to pass through.

[0007] The left-end fixing frame, the middle fixing frame and the right-end fixing frame are all provided with screw holes, and screws pass through the screw holes to connect the left-end fixing frame, the middle fixing frame and the right-end fixing frame together.

[0008] The left end fixing frame or the middle fixing frame is composed of a partition and two limiting blocks on the partition, and a spacing for accommodating the conductive component is provided between the two limiting blocks.

[0009] In order to prevent assembly dislocation and deformation and ensure effective connection of the product, multiple positioning pins are provided between the left end fixing frame and the adjacent middle fixing frame, between the right end fixing frame and the adjacent middle fixing frame, and between adjacent fixing frames (if any).

[0010] It also includes a cover plate, the bottom of the cover plate has a front snap buckle and a rear snap buckle, the left end fixing frame, the middle fixing frame and the right end fixing frame are provided with a front card slot and a rear card slot, the front snap buckle is snapped into the front card slot, and the rear snap buckle is snapped into the rear card slot.

[0011] The front snap-fit ​​buckle is formed by bending the front end of the cover plate downward, and the rear snap-fit ​​buckle is formed by bending the rear end of the cover plate downward.

[0012] The modular design of the energy storage connector of the present invention (including an increase-and-decrease combination of a left-end fixing bracket, a middle fixing bracket, and a right-end fixing bracket) supports flexible adaptation from single-channel to multi-channel, eliminating the need to develop independent molds for different numbers of interfaces, significantly reducing production costs. Furthermore, the positioning pins are arranged between the fixing brackets to effectively prevent assembly misalignment and warping, ensuring structural stability and long-term reliability. Furthermore, the integrated design of the upper and lower nuts, which are respectively located in the upper and lower nut limiting holes of the support column, ensures product reliability. Combined with the U-shaped conductive sheet, this prevents bolt thread slippage, ensures connection security, reduces resistance and temperature rise risks, and eliminates safety hazards. Furthermore, the cover plate covers the top of the fixing bracket, providing physical isolation protection, enhancing operational safety, and extending the product's service life.
