AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Traditional double-layer copper busbars are prone to deformation during injection molding, resulting in insufficient creepage distance, which can cause safety hazards such as short circuits and leakage, and also reduces conductivity.

Method used

An isolation support pad is used to separate the first copper busbar from the second copper busbar to form a copper busbar assembly. During the injection molding process, the assembly is encapsulated within the main plastic part. The isolation support pad made of PPS material ensures the creepage distance and prevents the copper busbar from bending and shifting.

Benefits of technology

This effectively prevents the copper busbar spacing from being too small, ensures sufficient creepage distance, avoids short circuits and leakage, and guarantees the stability and conductivity of the electrical system.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of electrical technology for new energy vehicles, and in particular to a process for fixing the creepage distance of double-layer copper busbars for capacitors in new energy vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] In the design and manufacturing of high-voltage capacitor components for new energy vehicles, double-layer copper busbars, as the core conductive carrier, must simultaneously meet the dual requirements of high-voltage insulation safety and structural stability. New energy vehicle capacitor components operate at high voltages, imposing stringent standards on creepage distance and insulation performance: the T+ and T- terminals must withstand 3000Vac high voltage for 30 seconds, with a leakage current not exceeding 0.6mA. While traditional double-layer high-temperature resistant insulating paper insulation solutions can achieve basic insulation, they cannot solve the structural deformation problem during injection molding. Once the copper busbars shift or deform, it directly leads to insufficient creepage distance, causing short circuits, leakage, and other safety hazards, threatening the stability of the vehicle's high-voltage electrical system. Furthermore, traditional processes use a 1.5mm gap between the upper and lower copper busbars, embedded in the mold for integrated molding. During injection molding, the impact force of the high-voltage melt easily causes the thin copper busbars to bend, shift position, and damage the surface integrity, resulting in reduced conductivity and even altering the preset spacing between the copper busbars, directly exceeding the insulation safety threshold between the double-layer copper busbars. Therefore, we propose a process for fixing the creepage distance of double-layer copper busbars for new energy vehicles. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a process for fixing the creepage distance of double-layer copper busbars for capacitors in new energy vehicles.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a process for fixing the creepage distance of a double-layer copper busbar for capacitors in new energy vehicles, comprising the following steps: S1. Several positioning and mounting holes are opened at the first copper busbar. S2. Place the isolation support pad in the positioning mounting hole of the first copper busbar, and then place the second copper busbar on the isolation support pad. The upper side of the isolation support pad abuts against the second copper busbar, and the lower side of the isolation support pad abuts against the first copper busbar. The first copper busbar, the second copper busbar, and the isolation support pad together constitute a copper busbar assembly. S3. Place the copper busbar assembly into the injection mold, and the injection mold injection molds out the main plastic part. The main body of the copper busbar assembly is covered inside the main plastic part, and the connecting copper feet of the copper busbar assembly are exposed outside the main plastic part.

[0005] To elaborate further, the isolation support pad is provided with a plug-in post, and a support part is provided on the upper side of the plug-in post, and the support part is in the shape of a frustum.

[0006] To further elaborate, the edge of the vertical section of the isolation support pad includes a first creepage distance, a second creepage distance, and a third creepage distance, and the sum of the first creepage distance, the second creepage distance, and the third creepage distance is greater than 5mm.

[0007] To elaborate further, the material of the isolation support pad is PPS.

[0008] To elaborate further, the distance between the first copper busbar and the second copper busbar is 1.5 mm.

[0009] To further elaborate, the surface of the first copper busbar that contacts the isolation support pad is the first support surface, and the surface of the second copper busbar that contacts the isolation support pad is the second support surface. The flatness of the first support surface and the second support surface is less than 0.1.

[0010] To elaborate further, when the first copper busbar and the second copper busbar are subjected to a high voltage of 3000Vac for 30 seconds, the leakage current does not exceed 0.6mA.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The present invention uses an isolation support pad to separate the first copper busbar and the second copper busbar, which can prevent the copper busbar from bending during injection molding and causing the distance between the two to be too small, ensuring that there is sufficient creepage distance between the first copper busbar and the second copper busbar, and avoiding safety hazards such as short circuit and leakage.
