Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of electrical appliances, and particularly relates to a contactor protection insulating cover. Background Art
[0002] Lithium batteries have the characteristics of high energy ratio, long service life, high rated voltage, high power tolerance, low self-discharge rate, light weight, strong adaptability to high and low temperatures, and environmental friendliness. Therefore, they are widely used in many fields such as consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and energy storage systems, becoming an indispensable energy storage technology in modern society, and their application scope is still expanding and deepening. As an indispensable control unit in lithium batteries, the contactor realizes the control and protection of the charging and discharging process of lithium batteries, and has functions such as charge and discharge control, circuit protection, multi-module cascading, temperature control, and adhesion detection.
[0003] In the prior art, most contactors inside lithium batteries do not have protective covers, making the contacts exposed outside, with the risk of accidental contact and the inability to guarantee safety. Moreover, dust and water vapor can directly contact the contactor contacts, making the contacts more prone to oxidation and resulting in poor contact. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:
[0005] A contactor protection insulating cover includes an electric control support plate, on which a contactor is fixed. An output power line is connected to the contactor. A flexible connection is provided on one side of the contactor away from the output power line. A fuse is provided on the electric control support plate and on one side of the contactor. The fuse is connected to the flexible connection. The connections between the fuse and the electric control support plate, between the contactor and the flexible connection, and between the contactor and the output power line are all connected by screw fasteners. A protective cover is provided over the upper part of the contactor, and the protective cover is snap-fitted to the contactor.
[0006] Further, a plurality of heat dissipation holes are provided on the protective cover.
[0007] Further, the plurality of heat dissipation holes are strip-shaped holes spaced along the width direction of the protective cover.
[0008] Further, a card slot is provided on the contactor, and a card block adapted to the card slot is provided on the inner side of the protective cover.
[0009] Further, the material of the protective cover is plastic.
[0010] Further, the side of the protective cover on the output power line side is set as an opening, and a fixing hole is provided on the protective cover near the fuse.
[0011] Furthermore, the size of the fixing hole is adapted to the size of the flexible connection.
[0012] Advantages of the present utility model:
[0013] (1) Protect against external interference: The clamping block on the protective cover is clamped with the clamping groove on the contactor, which is convenient for installation; to a certain extent, it can block dust, moisture, sundries, etc. from entering the interior of the contactor, avoid these factors affecting the normal operation and performance of the contactor, and reduce the probability of faults.
[0014] (2) Protect against physical damage: It can prevent external objects from hitting and knocking the contactor, and reduce problems such as contact deformation, structural damage, and short - circuit of positive and negative poles caused by collision.
[0015] (3) Prevent accidental touch: Avoid accidental touch of the operating mechanism or contacts of the contactor by personnel, and reduce the risk of circuit faults caused by accidental touch.
[0016] (4) Enhance insulation: Contribute to improving the overall insulation performance of the contactor, and prevent the influence of equipment safety due to electric leakage or short - circuit.
[0017] (5) Resist impact and vibration: In some environments with vibration or possible impact, the protective cover can provide a certain buffer for the contactor and reduce damage to the internal structure of the contactor.
[0018] (6) Electromagnetic shielding: Some protective covers have a certain electromagnetic shielding function, which can reduce the interference of external electromagnetic signals to the contactor.
[0019] (7) Improve safety: Reduce the risk of electric shock. Especially in places where people are easily accessible, the protective cover can effectively isolate the live parts. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
