Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a connecting bolt, in particular to a connecting bolt for a battery module of a new energy vehicle. Background Art
[0002] New energy vehicles refer to vehicles that use unconventional automotive fuels as their power source (or use conventional automotive fuels and adopt new on-board power devices), and integrate advanced technologies in vehicle power control and drive to form vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and new structures. Battery modules are used to provide power in some vehicles. In order to achieve internal and external conductive connections in existing battery modules, electrode lead-out structures are usually designed on the battery pack shell. The electrode lead-out structure is electrically connected to the battery inside and to the cable outside to achieve the transmission of electrical energy from the inside to the outside.
[0003] In the prior art, the electrode lead-out structure usually uses a conductive sheet and a fastening bolt to achieve electrical connection between the conductive sheet and the structure in the battery pack. The fastening bolt is a conventional bolt structure, which is mainly used to connect the conductive sheet to the battery pack. In order to ensure the conductivity and the tightness of the connection, the bolt is usually made of alloy material, which makes the bolt conductive as a whole. This poses a certain safety hazard for later power-on use. Therefore, an insulating cap structure needs to be set on the outside in actual use, which undoubtedly increases the subsequent assembly process and also causes the problem of forgetting.
