Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of relay auxiliary devices, in particular to a vibration reduction fixing device for a relay without fixing feet. Background Art

[0002] The BDU (high-voltage distribution unit) is responsible for distributing and managing power within the high-voltage system. It provides charging and discharging control, overload and short-circuit protection, and high-voltage sampling for the entire vehicle.

[0022] The following describes the implementation of the present invention through specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art can readily understand the other advantages and benefits of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the embodiments described are only a portion of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a vibration-damping fixing device for a relay 2 without fixed feet is used to fix the relay 2 without fixed feet (hereinafter referred to as relay 2) in a housing 1. The relay 2 without fixed feet is mostly a rectangular structure, so the overall shape of the vibration-damping fixing device in this embodiment is also a rectangular structure.

[0024] The vibration-damping fixture includes a horizontal base plate 3 for supporting the bottom of relay 2. This rectangular plate is slightly narrower than the bottom surface of relay 2, leaving space for the subsequent elastic support structure 5. Slots arranged around the edge of the base plate 3 allow for detachable connection, allowing for replacement of base plates 3 of varying widths to accommodate relays 2 of varying sizes.

[0025] The horizontal base plate 3 is provided with upwardly projecting vertical frames on at least three sides thereof. The bottoms of the vertical frames may be provided with slots for inserting the horizontal base plate 3. Two of the opposing vertical frames are provided with connecting structures 9 fixedly connected to the housing 1. These vertical frames are also provided with elastic tightening structures 5 for tightening against the outer surface of the relay 2. If vertical frames are provided on all four sides of the horizontal base plate 3, then both opposing vertical frames are provided with elastic tightening structures 5.

[0026] The elastic tightening structure 5 includes a spring clip 6 fixedly connected to the longitudinal frame at one end. The tightening direction of the spring clip 6 is perpendicular to the surface of the relay 2. In order not to affect the normal operation of the high-voltage distribution module, the spring clip 6 is made of a non-conductive material, such as a plastic with a certain elasticity. Since the spring clip 6 is arranged at an angle or horizontally relative to the side wall of the relay 2, the spring clip 6 moves in an arc when the relay 2 presses the spring clip 6. In order to neutralize the lateral force of the spring clip 6, two mirror-image spring clips 6 are provided. The two spring clips 6 symmetrically tighten on both sides of the relay 2. The lateral forces of the two spring clips 6 are relative and in opposite directions, thereby achieving neutralization, thereby making the tightening force on the relay 2 more uniform.

[0027] The tightening end of the snap 6 is provided with a protrusion 7 on the side facing the relay 2, which is used to increase the distance between the snap 6 and the relay 2. The snap 6 does not need to be arranged diagonally; simply arranging it horizontally can achieve elastic tightening of the relay 2, minimizing the thickness of the longitudinal frame and the overall size of the device. Furthermore, the protrusion 7 is spherical. Regardless of the position of the snap 6 when tightened, the protrusion 7 only transmits a tightening force perpendicular to the surface of the relay 2 to the relay 2. The connection between the snap 6 and the relay 2 is provided with an anti-slip structure. The anti-slip structure can be an anti-slip sleeve, a suction cup structure, or the protrusion 7 is made of an anti-slip material. This increases the friction between the snap 6 and the relay 2, preventing the relay 2 from vibrating upward and separating from the snap 6.

[0028] A first reinforcing rib 8 is provided between the spring buckle 6 and the longitudinal frame. The first reinforcing rib 8 can be provided on one or both sides of the spring buckle 6 to enhance the hardness and connection stability of the spring buckle 6. In this embodiment, the first reinforcing rib 8 is preferably a triangular plate or a trapezoidal plate perpendicular to the spring buckle 6.

[0029] The fixing and locking direction of the connecting structure 9 is opposite to the tightening direction of the elastic tightening structure 5. This maximizes the ability of the elastic tightening structure 5 to tighten the relay 2, resulting in a more concentrated force and preventing forces from being applied in other directions. The connecting structure 9 includes a fixing frame perpendicular to the vertical frame and the horizontal base plate 3. The fixing frame is provided with a metal bushing 10, which is passed through and fixedly connected to the housing 1 using M4 bolts. A second reinforcing rib 11 is provided between the connecting structure 9 and the vertical frame. The second reinforcing rib 11 is a triangular plate or trapezoidal plate perpendicular to the vertical frame and the connecting structure 9.

[0030] Although the present invention has been described in detail above using general descriptions and specific embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications or improvements may be made to the present invention. Therefore, such modifications or improvements, without departing from the spirit of the present invention, are within the scope of protection claimed herein.
