[0031] The present invention will be described in further detail below through specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0032] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a device for fixing a stack voltage acquisition module, including a fixing rod 5 and a fixing rod pressing block 8; the fixing rod 5 is inserted into the slot of the voltage acquisition terminal 1 so that the voltage acquisition terminal 1 can be stably inserted into the bipolar plate 2 of the stack; the fixing rod pressing block 8 is pressed on the top of the fixing rod 5, and the end of the fixing rod pressing block 8 facing away from the fixing rod 5 abuts against the shell top cover 11 of the stack so that the fixing rod pressing block 8 can press the fixing rod 5.
[0033] Specifically, the voltage acquisition terminal 1 is inserted into the CVP (cell voltage pickup) interface of the bipolar plate 2, and the fixing rod 5 is inserted into the slot of the voltage acquisition terminal 1. The fixing rod pressing block 8 is then installed on the housing top cover 11 of the battery stack.

[0038] Specifically, mounting holes are provided on the end plates 6 on both sides of the bipolar plate 2, and the height of the lowest point of the mounting hole is not higher than the height of the bottom of the slot. Therefore, when the fixing rod 5 is installed, the fixing rod 5 is passed through the mounting holes of the two end plates 6, and the main part of the fixing rod 5 can be pressed into the slot of the voltage collection terminal 1, so that the fixing rod 5 has a certain pre-tightening force, and a plug is installed on the mounting hole to prevent the fixing rod 5 from moving due to external force.
[0039] In addition, the plug can be a screw 7. In addition, those skilled in the art can also choose the type of plug according to actual needs, which will not be described here.

[0045] In addition, an insulating shock-absorbing pad 12 is provided at the bottom of the fixing rod pressing block 8, which can insulate the fixing rod 5 and the shell top cover 11, and can reduce the friction between the fixing rod 5 and the fixing rod pressing block 8 caused by vibration, thereby ensuring that the fixing rod pressing block 8 can firmly press the fixing rod 5.
[0046] During the assembly process, the voltage acquisition terminal 1 is inserted into the CVP interface of the bipolar plate 2, and the voltage signal collected by the voltage acquisition terminal 1 is transmitted to the controller 4 through the wiring harness 3; the fixing rod 5 is inserted into the slot of the voltage acquisition terminal 1 through the end plates 6 on both sides, and the fixing rod pressure block 8 is connected and fixed to the threaded hole on the top cover 11 of the stack shell through screws 7, spring washers 9 and flat washers 10. At the same time, a 2mm insulating shock-absorbing pad 12 is provided on the lower surface of the fixing rod pressure block 8, so that the gap between the fixing rod pressure block 8 and the pressure rod further ensures the reliability of the connection to absorb the influence of external vibration on the voltage acquisition module.
