Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of information transmission of electronic products, and particularly to a novel CCS integrated busbar. Background Art
[0002] The CCS integrated busbar is often applied to new energy vehicles and energy storage battery modules to realize the series-parallel connection of battery cells, temperature and voltage sampling, and transmit information to the BMS system. Among them, the FPC signal acquisition component in the CCS integrated busbar is also called a flexible circuit board. At present, in the production of FPC, a base material rolled copper foil is used, which is formed by repeatedly rolling a high-precision copper strip using the principle of plastic processing. Its defects are as follows: First, with the substantial increase in the market price of copper, the competition in the new energy market is becoming increasingly fierce. Battery manufacturers are constantly demanding cost reduction. The cost of copper is expensive, and continuing to use copper foil cannot meet the market demand of battery manufacturers; Second,
[0003] For the FPC of copper foil, the circuit needs to be formed by etching. There are more than twenty etching manufacturing processes, involving equipment such as photolithography machines, etching machines, and hot presses. The high precision requirements of the equipment lead to a relatively high equipment investment price, high fixed investment, and many etching manufacturing processes, large process difficulty coefficient, long processing flow, and low processing efficiency; Third, the etching process will produce wastewater during production, causing environmental pollution.

Its beneficial effects are as follows: First, using aluminum foil as the raw material, the cost of aluminum foil is about one-fourth of that of copper foil, effectively reducing costs; Second, at the same time, the aluminum foil is lighter in weight, and the weight of the same volume of aluminum foil is about one-third of that of copper foil, reducing the weight of the equipment; Third, the aluminum foil can achieve better signal acquisition; Fourth, the aluminum foil has strong corrosion resistance and a longer service life.

[0016] The new CCS integrated busbar uses a new FPC signal acquisition component to form various conductive circuits on the intermediate adhesive layer of the base material by printing silver paste to form the required circuit layer, and can well achieve the signal transmission function.
