[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the drawings.

[0022] See the appendix Figures 1 to 4 Figure. The connection panel of the sodium-ion energy storage battery box shown in the present utility model includes a panel base 1. A panel base assembly is provided on the end face of the panel base 1 on the inner side facing the battery box 2, and a panel fitting assembly is provided on the end face of the panel base 1 on the outer side facing the battery box 2. The positive connector 3 and the negative connector 4 in the panel fitting assembly are protrudingly arranged on the panel base 1. The panel base 1 is fixedly connected to the battery box 2 through the rivet nut 5 and the screw in the panel base assembly.

[0023] The positive connector 3 and the negative connector 4 are protrudingly arranged on the panel base 1, which is convenient for the series connection cable 6 to be connected straight up and down, shortening the cable length and saving costs. If the positive connector 3 and the negative connector 4 are designed into a flat structure, the series connection cable 6 has to be connected by winding a C-shaped bend, otherwise it will interfere with the liquid cooling plate on the battery box 5.

[0024] In this embodiment, a housing 7 for accommodating the positive connector 3 and the negative connector 4 protrudingly arranged on the panel base 1 is provided on the end face of the panel base 1 on the outer side facing the battery box 2. A pressure relief notch 8 is provided on the inner wall of the housing 7. The thickness of the inner wall of the housing 7 at the position of the pressure relief notch 8 is thinner than the thickness of the inner wall of other parts of the housing 7. The setting of the pressure relief notch 8 can ensure that when the internal pressure of the battery box 2 rises, the housing 7 at the position of the pressure relief notch 8 can be preferentially damaged, thereby releasing the gas in the battery box 2 and preventing the battery box from exploding.

[0025] In this embodiment, the panel base assembly further includes a press rivet nut 9. The press rivet nut 9 is arranged in the housing 7 and is fixedly connected to the positive connector 3 and the negative connector 4 through screws.

[0026] In this embodiment, the rivet nuts 5 are evenly distributed around the edge of the panel base 1, which is convenient for the overall force to be more uniform when fixedly connected to the battery box 2 through screws.

[0027] In this embodiment, the panel fitting assembly further includes a fire communication port 10, an explosion-proof pressure relief port 11 and a fire nozzle port 12. The fire communication port 10, the explosion-proof pressure relief port 11 and the fire nozzle port 12 are sequentially arranged on the panel base 1 and are fixedly connected to the panel base 1 through nuts.

[0028] In this embodiment, there is at least one explosion-proof pressure relief port 11. When the pressure relief notch 8 is not used as the pressure relief point, multiple explosion-proof pressure relief ports 11 can be set for pressure relief to prevent the battery box 2 from exploding.

[0029] In this embodiment, a sealing ring 13 is further provided on the end face of the panel base 1 facing the outside of the battery box 2. The sealing ring 13 is fixedly covered on the end face of the panel base 1 facing the outside of the battery box 2 through 3M double-sided tape. A round hole 14 is provided on the sealing ring 13. The round holes 14 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the blind rivet nuts 5. The diameter of the round hole 14 is larger than the outer diameter of the blind rivet nut 5. After the panel base 1 is fixedly connected to the battery box 2 by screws using the blind rivet nuts 5, the sealing ring 13 at the round hole 14 is compressed by force to form a sealing surface, ensuring the sealing performance at the round hole 14.

[0030] The above embodiments are only illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any person familiar with this technology can modify or change the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes made by those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field without departing from the spirit and technical ideas disclosed by the present invention should still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
