[0062] In the following description, a large number of specific details are given to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be implemented without one or more of these details. In other examples, in order to avoid confusion with the present invention, some technical features known in the art are not described.

[0063] In this document, ordinal numbers such as "first" and "second" cited in the present invention are merely identifiers and do not have any other meanings, such as a specific order, etc. Moreover, for example, the term "first component" itself does not imply the existence of the "second component", and the term "second component" itself does not imply the existence of the "first component".

[0064] In this document, “upper”, “lower”, “front”, “back”, “left”, “right”, etc. are only used to indicate the relative position relationship between related parts, rather than to limit the absolute positions of these related parts.

[0065] In this document, “equal”, “same”, etc. are not strictly limited in a mathematical and / or geometric sense, but also include errors that can be understood by those skilled in the art and are allowed in manufacturing or use.

[0066] Unless otherwise stated, the numerical ranges herein include not only the entire range within its two endpoints but also include several sub-ranges contained therein.

[0067] Now, exemplary embodiments according to the present utility model will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in a variety of different forms and should not be interpreted as being limited to the embodiments described herein. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of the present utility model thorough and complete, and to fully convey the concepts of these exemplary embodiments to those of ordinary skill in the art.

[0068] The utility model provides a battery device, including a crossbeam 300 and a pull plate 400. The pull plate 400 can be made of metal, such as aluminum, or a plastic part or a composite material. The aluminum pull plate 400 is arranged on one side of the crossbeam 300 along the height direction DH. The aluminum pull plate 400 can be connected to the crossbeam 300 by riveting, bolts, welding or other methods to ensure that the entire battery pack has sufficient structural strength and stability.

[0069] The internal space of the battery device usually needs to be compactly designed to accommodate the battery cells to the maximum extent. In some embodiments, the electrical connector 200 extends from the top of the aluminum plate 400 to the side of the crossbeam 300. The electrical connector 200 can be a soft connection harness or a hard metal connection bar. The electrical connector 200 has a corner at the connection between the aluminum plate 400 and the crossbeam 300. The electrical connector 200 at the corner has a large contact area with the surrounding components, which is prone to friction and collision. In particular, it may be subject to vibration and impact during the driving of the vehicle, further exacerbating the wear of the electrical connector 200.

[0070] In the embodiment of the utility model, the electrical connector 200 is a high-voltage wire harness. The material of the high-voltage wire harness is copper. As can be seen from the above, the aluminum plate 400 is arranged above the crossbeam 300, and the corner of the electrical connector 200 directly contacts the aluminum plate 400. The hardness of the aluminum plate 400 is higher than that of the copper bar. The copper bar contacts the aluminum plate 400 and is easily worn.

[0071] The utility model provides a protective bracket 100 for protecting an electrical connector 200, wherein the electrical connector 200 has a first section 210 and a second section 220 for forming a corner.
