In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0029] Embodiment 1: Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an integrated busbar includes a temperature averaging plate 1 and an integrated component 2 arranged on the upper end surface of the temperature averaging plate 1, wherein the integrated component 2 includes a heating film 21 and two sampling FPCs 22 distributed on the left and right sides of the heating film 21.

[0030] In this embodiment, the integrated component 2 includes a lower insulating layer 23, a wiring layer 24 and an upper insulating layer 25 distributed from bottom to top, a heating element 26 and two FPC bodies 27 distributed on the left and right sides of the heating element 26 are arranged in the wiring layer 24, and the FPC body 27 is connected to a plurality of sampling terminals 28 extending out of the wiring layer 24. Preferably, the lower insulating layer 23 and the upper insulating layer 25 are both made of PI film, the heating element 26 is made of heating wire, and the sampling terminal 28 is made of nickel sheet.

[0031] It should be noted that the processing technology of the heating film 21 and the sampling FPC 22 is the same, and the materials used are basically the same. During processing, two larger PI films, an FPC body 27 connected with a number of sampling terminals 28, and a heating wire are taken, and the PI film is covered on the upper and lower sides of the FPC body 27 and the heating wire, and then hot-pressed to obtain an integrated component 2. The middle area of ​​the integrated component 2 forms the heating film 21, and the areas on the left and right sides of the integrated component 2 form the sampling FPC 22. The integration is relatively high and can be completed in one workstation, which helps to simplify the assembly process and facilitate management and control, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0032] In addition, the area of ​​the PI film is smaller after integration and the cost of components is lower.

[0033] Embodiment 2: Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, a soft package module includes a battery group 3 composed of multiple battery cells 31, end plates 4 are respectively provided on the front and rear sides of the battery group 3, and a plurality of busbars 5 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the battery group 3.

The sampling terminals 28 correspond to the busbars 5 one by one, and the sampling terminals 28 are connected to the corresponding busbars 5. Among them, the temperature averaging plate 1 adopts a heat-conducting metal plate, which has a heat-conducting function and also helps to improve the overall structural strength.

[0034] The conventional sampling FPC22 is set on the side of the battery cell group 3 and needs to be completed before the module is put into the box. In this structure, the integrated component 2 is set at the upper end of the battery cell group 3. During assembly, the battery cell group 3 and the end plate 4 can be put into the box first, and then the sampling FPC22 can be welded to avoid the risk of the sampling FPC22 being pulled off or torn when it is compressed and the clamping force is released during the box entry process. It has better safety and helps to improve the yield.

[0037] In this embodiment, two positioning pins 411 are fixedly set at the bottom of the installation groove 41, and two waist-shaped holes 291 are set on the lug 29. The two waist-shaped holes 291 correspond to the two positioning pins 411 one by one. The positioning pins 411 pass through the corresponding waist-shaped holes 291. The positioning pins 411 play a positioning role, and the waist-shaped holes 291 help to absorb the expansion changes of the battery module during use.

[0038] In this embodiment, a card slot 42 is provided on the side of the end plate 4 facing the battery cell group 3, and the upper end of the card slot 42 passes through the upper end surface of the end plate 4. The front and rear sides of the temperature averaging plate 1 are respectively provided with card connecting plates 11, which extend into the card slot 42.

[0039] The above is an exemplary description of the utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is obvious that the implementation of the utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned method.
