[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of batteries, and in particular to an integrated busbar, a battery module and a battery pack. Background Art

[0002] The integrated busbar (i.e. Cells Contract System, CCS for short) is an electrical connection structure for battery modules (i.e. Battery Module). It can connect multiple cells (i.e. Cells) in the battery module in series and parallel at high voltage to achieve centralized energy management. It can also collect key parameters such as battery temperature and voltage in real time, and form a communication connection with the battery management system (i.e. Battery Management System, BMS for short) through the connector to achieve intelligent control and management of the battery system.

[0003] At present, the integrated busbar generally includes components such as a substrate, a bus and a collection mechanism. Among them, the substrate is mostly made of resin material, and the busbar is mostly a metal part made of aluminum or copper. When connected, the busbar is usually fixed to the substrate by welding. For example, Chinese utility model patent CN218005167U discloses an integrated busbar, which includes a bracket with a fixing groove and a conductive busbar inserted into the fixing groove and welded to the fixing groove. Although the welding process can improve the reliability of the fixation between the busbar and the substrate, due to its complicated process, it is inconvenient to disassemble and assemble the busbar, which greatly increases the processing cost and maintenance cost of the integrated busbar.

[0004] Therefore, this field needs a new technical solution to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0032] In order to solve or improve to a certain extent the technical problem of inconvenient assembly and disassembly of busbars in the integrated busbars in the prior art, the utility model provides an integrated busbar 1. The integrated busbar 1 comprises: a substrate 10, the substrate 10 comprises a substrate body 11 and a side wall 12 arranged on at least one of the two opposite edges of the substrate body 11 and extending along the length direction of the substrate body 11, a plurality of limiting bosses 13 spaced from each other along the length direction are formed on the side wall 12, each limiting boss 13 and the side wall 12 together enclose a limiting groove 14, and a buckle 15 is provided in the limiting groove 14; and a plurality of busbars 20, each busbar 20 is inserted and constrained in the corresponding limiting groove 14, and a clamping hole 21 is provided on each busbar 20 to form a clamping fit with the corresponding buckle 15.

[0033] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, in one or more embodiments, the integrated busbar 1 of the utility model includes a substrate 10, a plurality of busbars 20 and a collection mechanism 30. Each busbar 20 is detachably fixed on the substrate 10 to improve the efficiency of disassembly and assembly of the busbar 20. The collection mechanism 30 is arranged on the substrate 10 to enrich the functions of the integrated busbar 1.

[0034] like Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the substrate 10 includes a substantially rectangular substrate body 11. The substrate body 11 can be made of a suitable resin material (such as PC, ABS, etc.) through an injection molding process, so that it has good mechanical strength and insulation performance. Figure 1 In the orientation shown, the substrate body 11 has two edges opposite to each other in the front-to-back direction. In one or more embodiments, a longitudinal direction (based on the length of the substrate body 11) is formed on each edge. Figure 1The side wall 12 extends in the direction shown, i.e., the left-right direction). The side wall 12 is configured to extend vertically upward from the upper surface of the substrate body 11. Specifically, a first side wall 12a is formed at the front edge of the substrate body 11, and a second side wall 12b is formed at the rear edge of the substrate body 11. Alternatively, the side wall 12 may also be provided only on the front edge of the substrate body 11, or only on the rear edge of the substrate body 11.

The other first limiting bosses 13a located on the second side wall 12b can be matched with the adjacent limiting protrusions, and together with the second side wall 12b located between the two, form a first limiting groove 14a with an opening 121 facing backward to receive the series bus 20c. Through the above-mentioned arrangement, the bus 20 can be arranged on both the left and right sides of the substrate body 11 to improve the integration and compactness of the integrated busbar 1. Alternatively, the number of the limiting bosses 13 on each side wall 12 can also be set to other suitable numbers more or less than 7, such as 6, 8, etc. Further, the limiting boss 13 can also be arranged only on the first side wall 12a or only on the second side wall 12b.

Each explosion-proof valve avoidance hole 171 can be matched with a corresponding battery cell (not shown in the figure) in the battery module, so that the explosion-proof valve of the battery cell passes through it. In this way, when the explosion-proof valve of the battery cell is triggered, the pressure inside the battery can be smoothly released through the explosion-proof valve avoidance hole 171, thereby ensuring the safety of the battery module. Alternatively, the number of explosion-proof valve avoidance holes 171 can also be set to other suitable numbers more or less than 13, such as 12, 14, etc.

Each battery pack cover mounting hole 19 can be matched with a suitable fastener (such as a rivet, a screw, etc.) to form a fixed connection between the substrate 10 and the battery pack cover of the battery pack. It should be noted that the number and arrangement position of the battery pack cover mounting holes 19 can also be adjusted according to actual needs.
