In one example, the mounting member 50 can be connected to at least one of the beam column 13 and the box body 10 in a detachable or non-detachable connection manner. Among them, the detachable connection includes but is not limited to a screw connection, a snap connection, or a combination of a screw connection and a snap connection. The non-detachable connection includes but is not limited to a gluing connection, welding, or a combination of a gluing connection and welding. In the embodiment of the present application, the mounting member 50 is connected to the beam column 13.
[0067] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the mounting member 50 is provided with a mounting hole 55 corresponding to the connector 35, and the connector 35 is inserted into the mounting hole 55 to achieve a fixed connection between the connector 35 and the mounting member 50. In one example, the mounting member 50 may include only one, and all the connectors 35 are installed on the mounting member 50, so that the connectors 35 are more concentrated, which facilitates the docking of the connectors 35 and the connectors 45, and improves the installation efficiency. In another example, the mounting member 50 may include multiple, for example, the mounting member 50 includes two, and the connector 35 electrically connected to the first bus bar 31 can be installed in one of the two mounting members 50, and the connector 35 electrically connected to the second bus bar 33 can be installed in the other of the two mounting members 50, so that the connector 35 is simpler and clearer, and safety problems caused by user wiring errors are prevented.
[0068] In addition, the mounting member 50 can be made of metal materials such as steel, aluminum, aluminum alloy or stainless steel. In the embodiment of the present application, the mounting member 50 can be made of metal materials by sheet metal processing, thereby making the structural strength of the mounting member 50 higher, improving the load capacity that the mounting member 50 can bear, and preventing the mounting member 50 from deformation and damage.
[0069] In the above technical solution, all connectors 35 can be installed in the mounting member 50, so that the connector 35 is installed and fixed in the box body 10. Compared with the energy storage system 100 without the mounting member 50, the position of the connector 35 is more concentrated, which facilitates the docking of the connector 35 and the connecting member 45 and improves the assembly efficiency. In addition, the setting of the mounting member 50 can also make the first bus bar 31 and the second bus bar 33 arranged in an orderly manner around the high-voltage box 30, which is convenient for the management and maintenance of the first bus bar 31 and the second bus bar 33, reduces safety hazards (such as preventing users from tripping, etc.), and improves the integrity and stability of the energy storage system 100.
[0070] See also Figures 2 to 4 In some embodiments, a fixing member 60 is provided on the connector 35 , and the fixing member 60 is connected to the mounting member 50 . The fixing member 60 is used to mount the connector 35 on the mounting member 50 .
[0071] The fixing member 60 is a component that plays a connecting and fixing role in the energy storage system 100. In the embodiment of the present application, the fixing member 60 may be a flange, which is connected to the mounting member 50 and is used to install the connector 35 on the mounting member 50. The setting of the fixing member 60 can improve the connection strength between the connector 35 and the mounting member 50, prevent the connector 35 from loosening or falling off, and ensure the stability of the connection between the connector 35 and the connector 45. In one example, the fixing member 60 can be fixedly connected to the mounting member 50 by screw connection, snap connection, or a combination of screw connection and snap connection, so as to facilitate the installation and removal of the connector 35. For another example, the fixing member 60 can be fixedly connected to the mounting member 50 by gluing, welding, or a combination of gluing and welding, so that the bonding strength between the connector 35 and the mounting member 50 is higher, and the connector 35 is prevented from falling off from the mounting member 50.
[0072] In some embodiments, the fixing member 60 and the connector 35 are an integrally formed structure.
[0073] One-piece molding is a manufacturing process that refers to the process of completing the molding of the entire part in one mold at one time. In the embodiment of the present application, the connector 35 and the fixing part 60 can be integrally molded by one-piece molding processes such as injection molding (such as two-color injection molding or insert injection molding, etc.), stamping molding, and extrusion molding. The use of one-piece molding can make the bonding strength between the fixing part 60 and the connecting part 45 higher. During the long-term use of the energy storage system 100, the connector 35 can be prevented from loosening or falling off, that is, the fixing part 60 and the connecting part 45 are not easily separated, and the stability and reliability of the energy storage system 100 can be ensured. In addition, the one-piece molding structure can also improve the bonding strength between the fixing part 60 and the connecting part 45, and can reduce the number of parts, simplify the installation steps, and improve assembly efficiency.
[0074] In other embodiments, the fixing member 60 and the connector 35 are separately formed structures, and the fixing member 60 and the connector 35 are fixedly connected.
[0075] Split molding is a manufacturing process, which refers to dividing a whole into multiple parts, molding them separately, and then combining the parts together. In the embodiment of the present application, the fixing part 60 and the connector 35 can be separately processed and molded by the split molding process, and then combined together by a detachable connection or a non-detachable connection. Among them, the detachable connection includes but is not limited to a screw connection, a snap connection, or a combination of a screw connection and a snap connection. The non-detachable connection includes but is not limited to a gluing connection, welding, or a combination of a gluing connection and welding. The split molding structure can improve the applicability of the connector 35 and the fixing part 60, and can be adaptively produced according to the specific needs of the energy storage system 100. In addition, the split-molded connector 35 and the fixing part 60 can also be easily disassembled for repair or replacement when the connector 35 or the fixing part 60 is damaged, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the energy storage system 100.
[0076] Please continue reading Figures 2 to 4 In some embodiments, the connector 35 includes a first connector 351 and a second connector 353. The first connector 351 is electrically connected to the first bus bar 31, and the second connector 353 is electrically connected to the second bus bar 33. The mounting member 50 includes a first mounting plate 51 and a second mounting plate 53 connected to each other. The first mounting plate 51 includes a first mounting surface 511. The first connector 351 is installed on the first mounting plate 51 and protrudes from the first mounting surface 511. The second mounting plate 53 includes a second mounting surface 531. The second connector 353 is installed on the second mounting plate 53 and protrudes from the second mounting surface 531. The first mounting surface 511 and the second mounting surface 531 are not coplanar.
[0077] The first connector 351 and the second connector 353 are both components that can connect or disconnect an electrical circuit. In the embodiment of the present application, the first connector 351 is electrically connected to the first bus bar 31, and is electrically connected to the first interface of the high-voltage box 30 through the first bus bar 31. The first connector 351 is installed through the first mounting plate 51 and protrudes from the first mounting surface 511, so that the connector 45 can dock with the portion of the first connector 351 protruding from the first mounting surface 511; the second connector 353 is electrically connected to the second bus bar 33, and is electrically connected to the second interface of the high-voltage box 30 through the second bus bar 33. The second connector 353 is installed through the second mounting plate 53 and protrudes from the second mounting surface 531, so that the connector 45 can dock with the portion of the second connector 353 protruding from the second mounting surface 531, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the connector 35 and the connector 45.
[0078] In addition, the first connector 351 and the second connector 353 may be the same type of connector 35, for example, the first connector 351 and the second connector 353 are both quick plug connectors. The first connector 351 and the second connector 353 may also be different types of connectors 35, for example, the first connector 351 is a quick plug connector, and the second connector 353 is a terminal connector.
[0079] The first mounting plate 51 and the second mounting plate 53 are both structures that play a role in installation and fixing in the energy storage system 100. In the present application, the first mounting surface 511 is the side of the first mounting plate 51 opposite to the first busbar 31, and the second mounting surface 531 is the side of the second mounting plate 53 opposite to the second busbar 33. The first connector 351 protrudes from the first mounting surface 511, and the second connector 353 protrudes from the second mounting surface 531, so that it is convenient to dock the connector 45 with the first connector 351 and the second connector 353, thereby improving the assembly efficiency. In addition, the first connector 351 is installed on the first mounting plate 51, and the second connector 353 is installed on the second mounting plate 53. On the one hand, it is convenient to manage and maintain each connector 35, ensuring the normal operation of the first connector 351 and the second connector 353; on the other hand, it is convenient to distinguish the connector 35 when the connector 45 is connected to the connector 35, preventing the connection disorder between the connector 45 and the connector 35, and ensuring the normal operation of the energy storage system 100.
[0080] In one example, the first mounting plate 51 and the second mounting plate 53 can be integrally formed, that is, the first mounting plate 51 and the second mounting plate 53 are an integral structure. In another example, the first mounting plate 51 and the second mounting plate 53 can be separately formed, that is, the first mounting plate 51 and the second mounting plate 53 are two different structures, and the first mounting plate 51 and the second mounting plate 53 can be fixedly connected and together form the mounting member 50. The fixed connection can be a detachable connection or a non-detachable connection, and the detachable connection includes but is not limited to a screw connection, a snap connection, or a combination of a screw connection and a snap connection. The non-detachable connection includes but is not limited to a glue connection, a welding connection, or a combination of a glue connection and a welding connection.
[0081] In addition, the first mounting plate 51 and the second mounting plate 53 can be made of the same material, for example, the first mounting plate 51 and the second mounting plate 53 are both made of aluminum alloy. The first mounting plate 51 and the second mounting plate 53 can also be made of different materials, for example, the first mounting plate 51 is made of aluminum alloy, and the second mounting plate 53 is made of steel. Of course, the first mounting plate 51 and the second mounting plate 53 can also be made of other combinations of different materials, which are not listed here.
[0082] The first mounting surface 511 and the second mounting surface 531 are not coplanar, which means that the first mounting surface 511 and the second mounting surface 531 are not located on the same plane in three-dimensional space. Since the currents transmitted in the first connector 351 and the second connector 353 are in opposite directions, the first connector 351 and the second connector 353 need to be spaced apart and maintained at a certain distance to achieve electrical isolation, prevent safety hazards such as current short circuit, and ensure the safety of the energy storage system 100. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the first mounting surface 511 and the second mounting surface 531 are not coplanar, thereby, on the one hand, avoiding safety hazards such as current short circuit caused by the opposite directions of current transmitted in the first connector 351 and the second connector 353, thereby improving the safety of the energy storage system 100; on the other hand, compared with the first mounting surface 511 and the second mounting surface 531 being coplanar, the first mounting surface 511 and the second mounting surface 531 are not coplanar. While ensuring the spacing distance between the first connector 351 and the second connector 353, the space occupied by the mounting member 50 (including the first mounting plate 51 and the second mounting plate 53) can be reduced, which is conducive to miniaturization of the energy storage system 100.
[0083] Please also read Figure 2 and Figure 3In some embodiments, the first bus bar 31 and the second bus bar 33 extend along the first direction A, the first connector 351 includes a plurality of first connectors 351 arranged at intervals in the second direction B, the second connector 353 includes a plurality of second connectors 353 arranged at intervals in the second direction B, and the second direction B is perpendicular to the first direction A; in a third direction C perpendicular to the first direction A and the second direction B, the plurality of first connectors 351 and the plurality of second connectors 353 are staggered.
[0084] The number of first connectors 351 is consistent with the number of high-voltage boxes 30, that is, one first connector 351 corresponds to one high-voltage box 30, and multiple first connectors 351 are spaced apart in the second direction B, which can prevent interference between the first bus bars 31 electrically connected to the first connectors 351, and ensure the stability of the first connectors 351 installed on the first mounting plate 51; accordingly, the number of second connectors 353 is consistent with the number of high-voltage boxes 30, that is, one second connector 353 corresponds to one high-voltage box 30, and multiple second connectors 353 are spaced apart in the second direction B, which can prevent interference between the second bus bars 33 electrically connected to the second connectors 353, and ensure the stability of the second connectors 353 installed on the second mounting plate 53. In addition, in the third direction C perpendicular to the first direction A and the second direction B, the plurality of first connectors 351 and the plurality of second connectors 353 are staggered with each other, so that the interference between the first busbar 31 and the second busbar 33 can be reduced or even avoided, and the stability of the first connector 351 and the second connector 353 installed on the mounting member 50 is ensured, space is saved, and it is conducive to the miniaturization of the energy storage system 100. In some embodiments, the first direction A may be the same as the length direction X of the box 10, the second direction B may be the same as the width direction Y of the box 10, and the third direction C may be the same as the height direction Z of the box 10, so that the space inside the box 10 can be fully utilized, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the energy storage system 100.
[0085] In the above technical solution, multiple first connectors 351 and multiple second connectors 353 are staggered. On the one hand, the first bus bar 31 and the second bus bar 33 can be staggered to save space and facilitate the miniaturization of the energy storage system 100; on the other hand, interference between the connector 35 and the connector 45 can be prevented during electrical connection, thereby ensuring the stability of the electrical connection between the high-voltage box 30 and the control device.
[0086] Further, in some embodiments, projections of the plurality of first connectors 351 toward the third direction C and projections of the plurality of second connectors 353 toward the third direction C are alternately arranged in sequence.
[0087] Specifically, in the same mounting member 50, in the third direction C, the plurality of first connectors 351 and the plurality of second connectors 353 are staggered with each other, and the projections of the plurality of first connectors 351 toward the third direction C and the projections of the plurality of second connectors 353 toward the third direction C are arranged alternately in sequence, thereby reducing or even avoiding the interference between the first bus bar 31 and the second bus bar 33, ensuring the stability of the installation of the first connector 351 and the second connector 353 on the mounting member 50, saving space, and facilitating the miniaturization of the energy storage system 100.
[0088] In the above technical solution, the projections of the plurality of first connectors 351 and the plurality of second connectors 353 in the third direction C are arranged alternately in sequence. This can, on the one hand, enable the first bus bars 31 and the second bus bars 33 to be arranged alternately, saving space and being conducive to the miniaturization of the energy storage system 100; on the other hand, it can prevent interference between the connector 35 and the connector 45 when they are electrically connected, thereby ensuring the stability of the electrical connection between the high-voltage box 30 and the control device.
[0089] See also Figures 2 to 4 In some embodiments, the mounting member 50 further includes a connecting portion 57, which is connected to the box body 10. The connecting portion 57 protrudes and extends from the side edge of the first mounting plate 51 in a direction away from the first mounting plate 51; and / or the connecting portion 57 protrudes and extends from the side edge of the second mounting plate 53 in a direction away from the second mounting plate 53.
[0090] The connecting portion 57 is a protruding structure extending from the first mounting plate 51 and / or the second mounting plate 53.

Moreover, the connecting portion 57 on the first mounting plate 51 and / or the second mounting plate 53 can be connected to the box body 10, which improves the stability and reliability of the installation of the mounting member 50 on the box body 10.
[0091] In one example, the connection portion 57 protrudes and extends from at least one of the two side edges of the first mounting plate 51 in the second direction B in a direction away from the first mounting plate 51. In another example, the connection portion 57 protrudes and extends from at least one of the two side edges of the second mounting plate 53 in the second direction B in a direction away from the second mounting plate 53.

In the present application, the connecting portion 57 protrudes and extends from at least one of the two side edges of the first mounting plate 51 in the second direction B toward a direction away from the first mounting plate 51, and protrudes and extends from at least one of the two side edges of the second mounting plate 53 in the second direction B toward a direction away from the first mounting plate 51, thereby improving the connection strength between the mounting member 50 and the box body 10, and ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection between the connector 35 and the connecting member 45.
[0092] The connection part 57 can be fixedly connected to the housing 10 by screw connection, snap connection or a combination of screw connection and snap connection; or, the connection part 57 can be fixedly connected to the housing 10 by gluing, welding or a combination of gluing and welding. In the embodiment of the present application, the connection part 57 is directly connected to the housing 10 by welding. Welding, also known as fusion, is a process or method of combining and diffusing atoms or molecules of two or more of the same or different materials by heating, high temperature or high pressure, so as to join metals or other thermoplastic materials. The connection part 57 and the housing 10 can be welded by ultrasonic welding, molecular diffusion welding and laser welding. The welding method can make the connection between the connection part and the housing 10 more secure, and during the long-term use of the energy storage system 100, it is not easy to cause problems such as the mounting part 50 falling off, which can ensure the stability and reliability of the energy storage system 100.
[0093] In some embodiments, the mounting member 50 further includes a folding portion 59 which bends and extends from a periphery of the first mounting plate 51 toward a direction away from the first mounting plate 51 ; and / or the folding portion 59 bends and extends from a periphery of the second mounting plate 53 toward a direction away from the second mounting plate 53 .
[0094] The folding portion 59 is a protruding structure that is bent and extended from the first mounting plate 51 and / or the second mounting plate 53, and the folding portion 59 is a structure that plays a reinforcing role on the first mounting plate 51 and / or the second mounting plate 53. Since the plurality of first connectors 351 are all installed on the first mounting plate 51, the plurality of first connectors 351 are all installed on the second mounting plate 53, and the plurality of first connectors 351 and the plurality of second connectors 353 are all arranged at intervals along the second direction B, when the connecting member 45 is docked with the first connector 351 and the second connector 353, the first mounting plate 51 and the second mounting plate 53 need to bear a large load. If the folding portion 59 is not provided, the first mounting plate 51 and the second mounting plate 53 can bear a small load and are easily damaged. In the embodiment of the present application, the first mounting plate 51 and / or the second mounting plate 53 are provided with a folding portion 59, so as to improve the structural strength of the first mounting plate 51 and / or the second mounting plate 53, that is, to improve the upper limit of the load that the first mounting plate 51 and / or the second mounting plate 53 can bear, ensure the docking of the connecting member 45 and the connector 35, and improve the stability of the electrical connection between the high-voltage box 30 and the control device.
