Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of batteries, in particular to a double-strand battery connecting wire for an electric vehicle. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, electric bicycles, with their low-carbon, environmentally friendly, economical, convenient, and adaptable features, have gradually become an important means of transportation for short-distance travel.

[0043] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the present invention in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0044] like Figures 1-6 As shown, one embodiment of the present invention provides a double-strand battery connecting cable for electric vehicles, comprising a first cable body 1, a second cable body 2 and two protective shells 3;

[0045] Each protective shell 3 is provided with a first accommodating cavity 301 and a first through hole 6 in communication with each other, and a second accommodating cavity 302 and a second through hole 11 in communication with each other;

[0046] The first wire body 1 and the second wire body 2 are both located between the two protective shells 3, and the two ends of the first wire body 1 are respectively fixed in the two first accommodating cavities 301, and the two ends of the second wire body 2 are respectively fixed in the two second accommodating cavities 302;

[0047] A first ring terminal 4 for crimping the first wire 1 is provided in the first accommodating cavity 301 , and a second ring terminal 5 for crimping the second wire 2 is provided in the second accommodating cavity 302 ;

[0048] The first through hole 6 and the second through hole 11 are both used to make room for bolts.

[0049] By fixing the two ends of the first wire body 1 in the first accommodating cavity 301 and arranging the first circular terminal 4 in the first accommodating cavity 301, the crimping position of the first wire body 1 and the first circular terminal 4 is not prone to displacement and friction. The second wire body 2 is fixed in the second accommodating cavity 302 and the second circular terminal 5 is arranged in the second accommodating cavity 302, so that the crimping position of the second wire body 2 and the second circular terminal 5 is not prone to displacement and friction. Therefore, the first wire body 1 and the second wire body 2 are not prone to poor contact due to displacement and friction. Therefore, the length of the first wire body 1 and the second wire body 2 can be designed to be shorter. During the driving of the electric vehicle, the movement range of the first wire body 1 and the second wire body 2 is greatly reduced. The dangerous area on the battery pack (i.e., the area in contact with the support column at the bottom of the pedal) is reduced by 38.2% compared with the traditional double-strand battery connecting wire, and it is not easy to produce friction and extrusion between the support column at the bottom of the pedal, thereby reducing the damage and short circuit of the connecting wire.

[0050] Since both ends of the first wire body 1 and the second wire body 2 are fixed by the protective shell 3, even if the first wire body 1 and the second wire body 2 are longer, the range of motion of the double-strand battery connecting cable in this embodiment is reduced compared to the wire bodies in the traditional double-strand battery connecting cable.

[0051] Furthermore, the first mounting portion 402 and the second mounting portion are both annular, and are both mounted to the positive or negative terminal of the corresponding battery by bolts.

[0052] For the convenience of description, the four batteries in the 4820 battery pack are recorded as battery one, battery two, battery three and battery four. Figure 6 As shown, the two first mounting portions 402 in the electric vehicle dual-strand battery connecting wire are respectively connected to the negative pole of battery two and the negative pole of battery three, and the two second mounting portions are respectively connected to the positive pole of battery one and the positive pole of battery four.

[0053] It should be noted that the height of the battery pack compartment of some electric vehicles is greater than the height of the battery pack, and a battery pressure strip is installed on the top of the battery pack to secure the battery pack in place. When the workers are not careful during installation, the double-strand battery connecting wires may be pressed due to their long length. With the new double-strand battery connecting wires, the length can be designed to be shorter, so their activity area is reduced, reducing the possibility of workers pressing the double-strand battery connecting wires when installing the pressure strips.

[0054] According to one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, each first ring terminal 4 includes a first crimping portion 401, a first connecting portion 403 and a first mounting portion 402 connected in sequence;

[0055] The first crimping portion 401 is crimped to one end of the first wire body 1;

[0056] The first mounting portion 402 is located in the first through hole 6;

[0057] The length direction of the first connecting portion 403 is perpendicular to the length direction of the first crimping portion 401 .

[0058] According to one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, each second ring terminal 5 includes a second crimping portion, a second connecting portion and a second mounting portion connected in sequence;

[0059] The second crimping portion is crimped to one end of the second wire body 2;

[0060] The second mounting portion is located in the second through hole 11;

[0061] The length direction of the second connecting portion is perpendicular to the length direction of the second crimping portion.

[0062] It should be explained that the first through hole 6 and the first accommodating cavity 301 have a first overlapping area, the second through hole 11 and the second accommodating cavity 302 have a second overlapping area, the first mounting portion 402 is partially located in the first overlapping area, and the second mounting portion is located in the second overlapping area.

[0063] like Figure 5 As shown, by setting the length direction of the first connecting part 403 in the first circular ring terminal 4 to be perpendicular to the direction of the first crimping part 401, the first circular ring terminal 4 is L-shaped, and the first wire body 1 can be straight without bending, thereby avoiding damage or short circuit caused by excessive bending angle of the first wire body 1.

[0064] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first wire body 1 and the second wire body 2 have the same structure. The first wire body 1 includes a first copper wire 101 and a first sheath 102. The first sheath 102 is sleeved on the first copper wire 101. The length of the first sheath 102 is less than the length of the first copper wire 101. The first crimping portion 401 is crimped to the first copper wire 101.

[0065] The ends of the first sheath 102 are fixed in the corresponding first accommodating cavity 301 .

[0066] It should be noted that the first sheath 102 plays a role in protecting the first copper wire 101 and is an existing technology of the first wire body 1.

[0067] When actually crimping the first wire body 1 and the first circular ring terminal 4, first peel off a portion of the two ends of the first sheath 102 so that the length of the first sheath 102 is less than the length of the first copper wire 101, and then the first copper wire 101 is exposed, and then the first circular ring terminal 4 is crimped to the end of the first copper wire 101.

[0068] According to one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, a limiting assembly is provided in the first through hole 6 and the second through hole 11 , each limiting assembly includes a first ring plate 7 and a second ring plate 8 parallel to each other, and the first mounting portion 402 is located between the first ring plate 7 and the second ring plate 8 .

[0069] It should be noted that the provision of the first ring plate 7 and the second ring plate 8 can prevent the first circular terminal 4 or the second circular terminal 5 from being easily deformed, thereby protecting the first circular terminal 4 and the second circular terminal 5 .

[0070] According to one embodiment of the present invention, two protective caps 9 for protecting the bolts are provided on each protective shell 3. The protective caps 9 are connected to the protective shell 3 via a connecting strap 10. The protective caps 9, the connecting strap 10 and the protective shell 3 are integrally injection molded.

[0071] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the protective cap 9 includes a first plate 901 and a second plate 902 connected to each other;

[0072] The diameter of the first plate 901 at one end close to the second plate 902 is larger than that at the other end, and the diameter of the second plate 902 is smaller than the diameter of the first through hole 6;

[0073] The first plate 901 is interference fit with the first through hole 6 .

[0074] The diameter of the second plate body 902 is smaller than the diameter of the first plate body 901, and the diameter of the end of the second plate body 902 away from the first plate body 901 is larger than the diameter of the other end. When the protective cap 9 needs to be removed, a special tool is used to clamp it on the side wall of the second plate body 902. Since the diameter of the end of the second plate body 902 away from the first plate body 901 is larger than the diameter of the other end, when force is applied in the direction away from the first plate body 901, the tool can be clamped on the side wall of the second plate body 902, and then the entire protective cap 9 can be pulled out of the first through hole 6 or the second through hole 11 with force.

[0075] The second ring plate 8 can also limit the depth of the protective cap 9 inserted into the first through hole 6 to prevent the insertion depth from being too deep, which would result in time-consuming and labor-intensive subsequent removal of the protective cap 9 .

[0076] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the protective shell 3 is a plastic shell.

[0077] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the protective shell 3 includes a first shell and a second shell, and the first shell and the second shell are integrally formed.

[0078] Of course, in this embodiment, a rubber layer is provided on the side where the first shell and the second shell are close to each other, a plurality of card blocks are provided on the edge of the first shell, and a plurality of card slots are provided on the edge of the second shell. The card blocks and the card slots correspond one to one, and the card blocks are embedded in the card slots. When the card blocks are engaged, the rubber layer squeezes the first sheath 102 of the first wire body 1 and the second sheath of the second wire body 2, so that the first wire body 1 and the second wire body 2 can receive the extrusion force, thereby reducing the friction at the crimping position of the first wire body 1 and the second wire body 2.

[0079] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a third through hole is defined on the first plate 901 .

[0080] The third through hole can make room for the head of the bolt, and the side wall of the third through hole can also limit the angle of the bolt during threaded connection, thereby improving work efficiency during installation.

[0081] Specifically, first, the two ends of the first sheath 102 in the first wire body 1 are stripped off to reveal the two end portions of the first copper wire 101, and the two first ring terminals 4 are respectively crimped to the two ends of the first copper wire 101 to form a first connecting wire. The second wire body 2 and the second ring terminal 5 are crimped according to the above steps. After crimping, the second connecting wire is formed, and the first connecting wire and the second connecting wire are placed in a mold for producing the protective shell 3, and the protective shell 3 is injection molded as a whole (during injection molding, the first accommodating cavity 301, the second accommodating cavity 302, the first through hole 6 and the second through hole 11 are automatically formed inside the protective shell 3), thereby forming a new type of double-strand battery connecting wire. After the two first mounting parts 402 and the two second mounting parts in the double-strand connecting wire are fixed to the corresponding battery terminals with bolts, a protective cap 9 is correspondingly inserted into the first through hole 6 and the second through hole 11, and the head of the bolt is located in the third through hole opened on the first plate body 901.
