[0028] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the structure of the vehicle-mounted T-BOX device in the first embodiment of the utility model, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, and refer to Figures 2 to 3 An embodiment of the utility model provides a connecting piece, which is used to electrically connect a first workpiece and a second workpiece; the connecting piece includes a clamping groove 400, and the clamping groove 400 is used to clamp the first workpiece, and the connecting piece abuts against the second workpiece.

[0029] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first workpiece is a battery 600 , and the second workpiece is a circuit board 700 .

[0030] In the embodiment of the utility model, since the battery 600 and the circuit board 700 are connected by the connecting piece, the battery 600 is directly inserted into the clamping groove 400 during the connection, and then the connecting piece and the battery 600 are fixed on the circuit board 700, so that the battery 600 and the circuit board 700 can be electrically connected through the connecting piece, which is simple to operate and reduces the difficulty of assembly. The connecting piece has a simple structure and is easy to process, which effectively reduces the difficulty of production and improves production efficiency. In addition, the connecting piece is wrapped on the battery, which occupies a small space, which is conducive to improving the integration of the vehicle-mounted T-BOX equipment and is easy to promote and apply.

[0031] In one embodiment of the present invention, the connector further comprises a first protrusion 500, which is arranged on the side of the connector in contact with the circuit board 700, and the first protrusion 500 abuts against the second workpiece. In this arrangement, the connector does not need to be closely attached to the circuit board 700, and only the first protrusion 500 abuts against the circuit board 700, thereby avoiding affecting the arrangement of other components on the circuit board 700.

[0032] In one embodiment of the utility model, the connector includes a first connector plate 100, a second connector plate 200 and a third connector plate 300, the first connector plate 100 and the second connector plate 200 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart, the two ends of the third connector plate 300 are respectively connected to the first connector plate 100 and the second connector plate 200 to form a clamping groove 400 between the first connector plate 100 and the second connector plate 200, and the first protrusion 500 is arranged on the side of the first connector plate 100 away from the clamping groove 400. This arrangement makes the connector structure simple, easy to process and use; at the same time, the material consumption for processing the connector is small, which can effectively reduce the cost.

[0033] Specifically, the first connecting plate 100 and the first protrusion 500 are formed by bending an elastically deformable metal sheet in one piece. The metal sheet is made of phosphor bronze or stainless steel, and the thickness of the metal sheet is 0.10 mm to 0.30 mm. Since phosphor bronze and stainless steel have large elastic modulus, the connector can undergo large elastic deformation after being processed into a connector, so that the connector can be elastically deformed by squeezing the connector during use, thereby increasing the contact area between the first protrusion 500 and the circuit board 700 and preventing the first protrusion 500 from being disconnected from the circuit board 700.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, further, the number of the first protrusions 500 is two, and the two first protrusions 500 are arranged at intervals. One of the first protrusions 500 is located at the end of the first connecting plate 100 away from the third connecting plate 300. Since the two first protrusions 500 are in contact with the circuit board 700, the safety and reliability of the connection between the first protrusion 500 and the circuit board 700 are improved.

[0035] In one embodiment of the utility model, the first connecting plate 100, the second connecting plate 200 and the third connecting plate 300 are formed by bending metal sheets in one piece, and are open profiles, which are easy to process. Since the connecting pieces are formed in one piece, there is no need to connect them through any additional connecting structure, thus avoiding the use failure caused by loose connection. Furthermore, the amount of material used in processing the connecting pieces is small, which can effectively reduce the cost.

[0036] In an embodiment of the present invention, a gold-plated layer is disposed on the first protrusion 500 , and the gold-plated layer abuts against the second workpiece to improve the conductivity and corrosion resistance of the first protrusion 500 .

[0037] The utility model further provides a battery assembly, comprising a battery 600 and a connector as in any of the above embodiments, so as to have all the effects of the connector. The battery 600 is inserted into the clamping groove 400.

[0038] In one embodiment of the utility model, there are multiple connectors; at least one connector is electrically connected to the positive electrode of the battery 600, and at least one connector is electrically connected to the negative electrode of the battery 600 to achieve power-on effect.

[0039] Similarly, other communication terminals can also be electrically connected to the conductive copper foil 710 on the circuit board 700 through the connecting member.

[0040] In one embodiment of the utility model, the connector further comprises a first protrusion 500, which is arranged on the side of the first connecting plate 100 away from the clamping groove 400 and abuts against the second workpiece. The battery 600 is provided with two second protrusions 610, which are located on the side of the battery 600 close to the circuit board 700; the two second protrusions 610 and the two first protrusions 500 are staggered in the length direction of the circuit board 700. Further, in the length direction of the first connecting plate 100, the distance W1 between the two second protrusions 610 is 8mm to 12mm, and the width W2 of the second protrusion 610 is 1.5mm to 3mm; in the thickness direction of the first connecting plate 100, the height H1 of the first protrusion 500 is 0.6mm to 1.2mm, and the height H2 of the second protrusion 610 is 0.6mm to 1.2mm. Specifically, the second protrusion 610 is arranged on the outer shell of the battery 600, and does not affect the internal structure of the battery 600.

[0041] The utility model also provides a vehicle-mounted T-BOX device, including a circuit board 700, and also including a connector as in any of the above embodiments, or a battery assembly as in any of the above embodiments, so as to have all the effects of the connector or the battery assembly. The battery 600 is inserted into the clamping groove 400, and the connector abuts against the conductive copper foil 710 of the circuit board 700.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, during assembly, the first protrusion 500 contacts the conductive copper foil 710 of the circuit board 700, and the second protrusion 610 contacts the inner wall of the clamping groove 400. Then, the connector is pressed toward the circuit board 700, so that the side of the connector provided with the first protrusion 500 undergoes elastic deformation. Since both the second protrusions 610 are in contact with the circuit board 700, and the two second protrusions 610 and the two first protrusions 500 are staggered in the length direction of the circuit board 700, the connector forms at least three elastic deformations (one between each adjacent second protrusion 610 and the first protrusion 500, as shown in FIG. 1 ). Figure 3 The position indicated by the arrow in the middle) is provided to provide sufficient elastic force to prevent the first protrusion 500 from being disconnected from the circuit board 700.
