[0002] The BDU (Battery Disconnect Unit), also known as the battery disconnect unit, is a critical component in the high-voltage circuit of new energy batteries, controlling the charging and discharging process.

Currently, most battery pack modules are secured by box beams, with the module output terminals secured to the beams. If the BDU's height exceeds the beams, routing the module's total positive and negative high-voltage busbars becomes difficult.

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure provided by an embodiment of the present utility model; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the embodiment of the utility model after the box cover is removed; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the reverse side of the overall structure after the box cover and box body are removed provided by an embodiment of the utility model; Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the circuit connection provided by the embodiment of the utility model. Figures 1 to 4The BDU structure of an internal injection-molded copper busbar shown in the figure includes: a box body 1, a box cover 2, a bus assembly 3, an electrical assembly 4, a relay assembly 5, a power interface 6 and an output interface 7. The box body 1 is a rectangular structure, the box cover 2 is arranged on the box body 1, the bus assembly 3, the electrical assembly 4, the relay assembly 5 are arranged in the box body 1, the electrical assembly 4, the relay assembly 5, the power interface 6 and the output interface 7 are connected through the bus assembly 3, the relay assembly 5 includes a main positive relay 51, a fast charging relay 52 and a main negative relay 53, and the main positive relay 51, the fast charging relay 52 and the main negative relay 53 are arranged horizontally and evenly spaced along the length direction of the box body 1.

[0025] For example, in an embodiment of the present invention, the busbar assembly 3 includes a first busbar 31, a second busbar 32, a third busbar 33, a fourth busbar 34, and a seventh busbar 37. One end of the first busbar 31 is connected to the power interface 6, and the other end is connected to the second busbar 32. The second busbar 32 and the third busbar 33 are connected to the electrical component 4 to form a basic circuit. One end of the third busbar 33 is connected to the main positive relay 51. One end of the fourth busbar 34 is connected to the main positive relay 51, and the other end is connected to the fast charging relay 52. ​​The main negative relay 53 is connected to the power interface 6 through the seventh busbar 37. When the box body 1 is produced, the busbar assembly 3 is pre-injected into the box body 1 by injection molding. During assembly, the electrical component 4 and the relay assembly 5 are installed in the corresponding positions to form the entire circuit. By injection molding, it can be ensured that the electrical clearance and creepage distance meet the requirements, and no other insulation protection measures are required. In the BDU structure, the relay assembly 5 is the component that occupies the largest space. The length direction of the main positive relay 51, the fast charging relay 52 and the main negative relay 53 are kept consistent with the width direction of the box body 1, and the width direction of the main positive relay 51, the fast charging relay 52 and the main negative relay 53 are kept consistent with the height direction of the box body. They are arranged in a single row in the box body 1, so that the main positive relay 51, the fast charging relay 52 and the main negative relay 53 are evenly spaced and arranged horizontally along the length direction of the box body 1, thereby reducing the width and height space of the box body 1 occupied by the relay assembly 5, thereby reducing the occupied space and reducing the difficulty of assembly.

[0026] An embodiment of the present invention provides a BDU structure with an internal injection-molded copper busbar, which comprises a busbar assembly 3, an electrical assembly 4, a relay assembly 5, a power interface 6 and an output interface 7 to form a basic circuit of the BDU structure. In the BDU structure, the relay assembly 5 is the component that occupies the largest space. By horizontally arranging the main positive relay 51, the fast charging relay 52 and the main negative relay 53 in the box body 1, the width of the box body 1 is only related to the length of each relay and the thickness of the box body 1, and the height of the box body 1 is only related to the thickness of each relay. Compared with the conventional scheme, the total height can be reduced by 30%, thereby maximally compressing the width and height of the entire BDU structure, thereby reducing the space occupied by the BDU structure, and effectively solving the problem of large space occupation and difficult assembly in the prior art.

[0027] Optionally, the output interface 7 includes a P+ interface 71, a P- interface 72, an FC+ interface 73 and an FC- interface 74, the main positive relay 51 is connected to the P+ interface 71, the fast charging relay 52 is connected to the FC+ interface 73, and the main negative relay 53 is connected to the P- interface 72 and the FC- interface 74.

The main positive relay 51 is connected to the P+ interface 71 via the fourth busbar 34, the fast charge relay 52 is connected to the FC+ interface 73 via the fifth busbar 35, and the main negative relay 53 is connected to the P- interface 72 and the FC- interface 74 via the sixth busbar 36. This structure allows the BDU structure to be connected to the external circuit via the output interface 7. Since the busbar assembly 3 is connected to the output interface 7, there is no need to connect other wires in the internal circuit for connection, thereby reducing production costs and preventing internal circuit clutter.

[0029] Optionally, the P+ interface 71 , the P− interface 72 , the FC+ interface 73 , and the FC− interface 74 are located on the same side of the box body 1 .

[0031] Optionally, the P+ interface 71 , the P− interface 72 , the FC+ interface 73 and the FC− interface 74 are arranged to protrude from the outside of the box body 1 .

The Hall sensor 41 is used to monitor the current in the circuit to ensure the safety of the circuit in the BDU structure. The low-voltage control connector 43 is used to power each relay, power and communicate with the Hall sensor 41, and collect the voltage drop and temperature of the shunt 47.

One end of the eighth busbar 38 is connected to the shunt 47, and the other end is connected to the B-interface 62. By providing the shunt 47, it can be used in conjunction with the Hall sensor 41 to jointly monitor the current in the circuit, further ensuring the safety of the circuit in the BDU structure.
