Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of connectors, in particular to a guiding type high-power connector. Background Art
[0002] Currently, the battery module (PACK), energy storage converter (PCS) and bus in the energy storage cabinet are connected through a connector.
[0003] Existing connectors have tolerances in processing and assembly, and there must be position deviations between the connector and the busbar. Generally, the connector only relies on the plastic shell as a guide. When the PACK is inserted into the busbar, the plastic shell and the busbar may collide hard due to position deviation, and the plastic may deform excessively, causing damage to the connector. When the energy storage cabinet discharges, the stored electrical energy will be released in a short time, and the current will be very large. However, the general connector can only carry currents below 400A, which cannot meet the requirements of high-power discharge. Therefore, the utility model provides a guided high-power connector to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:
[0006] A guide type high-power connector comprises a plastic shell and a contact assembly, wherein the contact assembly is arranged in the plastic shell, a bus is inserted on the contact assembly, and an internal copper bus is inserted on the right part of the contact assembly, the contact assembly comprises a stainless steel shell and a terminal, the stainless steel shell is sleeved on the terminal, a stainless steel spring sheet is arranged on the stainless steel shell corresponding to the terminal, and a guide groove is arranged on the stainless steel shell, and the guide groove protrudes from the plastic surface.
[0007] As a further solution of the utility model, the internal copper busbar, the stainless steel shell and the terminal are symmetrically threaded with screws, the screws are threaded with riveted nuts, and the internal copper busbar, the stainless steel shell and the terminal are provided with through holes corresponding to the screws.
[0008] Specifically, the internal copper busbar is fixed by using a screw and a riveted nut structure in combination.
[0009] As a further solution of the present invention, the terminal is made of high-conductivity copper material with a multi-contact point structure.
[0010] As a further solution of the utility model, an insulating heat-resistant component is also provided on the plastic shell corresponding to the bus, and the insulating heat-resistant component includes a fixed block, a support plate, a telescopic rod, an insulating heat-resistant plate, an insulating heat-resistant block and a spring.

A number of telescopic rods are provided at one end of the two support plates close to each other, an insulating heat-resistant plate is provided at the other end of the telescopic rod, and an insulating heat-resistant block is provided at the left end of the insulating heat-resistant plate.
[0011] As a further solution of the utility model, a spring is sleeved on the telescopic rod, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the support plate, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the insulating heat-resistant plate.
[0012] Specifically, when the bus is inserted into the plastic shell, the bus drives the two insulating heat-resistant blocks and the insulating heat-resistant plate to move away from each other, and the insulating heat-resistant plate compresses the spring. The elastic potential energy of the spring facilitates driving the insulating heat-resistant plate and the insulating heat-resistant block to fit tightly against the bus. In the process of the bus entering the plastic shell, the insulating heat-resistant block can clean the impurities attached to the bus, and the insulating heat-resistant plate can clean the dust on the bus.

When the connector is inserted into the busbar, the plastic shell plays a primary guiding and insulating protection function, and the guide groove further improves the guiding function. The busbar is finally guided by the guide groove on the stainless steel shell to avoid damage to the plastic shell due to excessive deformation.
[0015] 2. When the utility model is used, when the bus is inserted into the plastic housing, the bus drives the two insulating heat-resistant blocks and the insulating heat-resistant plate to move away from each other, and the insulating heat-resistant plate compresses the spring. The elastic potential energy of the spring facilitates driving the insulating heat-resistant plate and the insulating heat-resistant block to fit tightly against the bus. In the process of the bus entering the plastic housing, the insulating heat-resistant block can clean the impurities attached to the bus, and at the same time, the insulating heat-resistant plate cleans the dust on the bus to prevent the impurities or dust attached to the bus from affecting the contact with the terminals.
[0016] 3. By setting a stainless steel spring on the outside of the terminal, the stainless steel spring clamps the terminal, which can obtain sufficient force and very low contact impedance, so that it can carry 700A current and have a plug-in and pull-out life of not less than 100 times.
