[0035] Generally, the connection part of the connector is crimped to the circuit board. Taking the B+ connector as an example, the B+ connector is an important connection component between the battery pack and high-voltage electrical systems such as the on-board charger (OBC), DC / DC converter, and inverter. High-quality B+ connectors are essential to ensure the safety and performance of electrical connections. The connection part is made of metal material. When connectors such as the B+ connector are used to connect to external connection devices such as the OBC (On-Board Charger) box, metal chips will be generated when the connection part is hard-crimped to the circuit board. The generated metal chips will cause poor cleaning, and if the generated metal chips enter the OBC box, it will also cause a short circuit, resulting in equipment failure or damage, and safety issues. In order to improve the poor cleaning and safety issues caused by metal chips generated by the connector, refer to Figures 1 to 3 The present invention proposes a connector and a power connector, which uses a seal 300 to seal the connection part 200 and the circuit board 110, so as to seal and protect the PCB circuit board and the connection part, prevent foreign matter such as metal chips from escaping from the connector to external connection devices such as the OBC box, causing cleanliness and safety problems, and also ensure the sealing and stability of the connection between the connector and external connection devices such as the OBC box.

[0036] The connector includes a connection base 100, a connection portion 200 and a sealing member 300. The connection base 100 has a circuit board 110. One end of the connection portion 200 is connected to the circuit board 110, and the other end of the connection portion 200 is used to connect to an external connection device.

[0037] To optimize the sealing effect, in one embodiment, the seal 300 includes an integrally arranged first sealing portion 310 and a second sealing portion 320 . The first sealing portion 310 is covered on the circuit board 110 , and the second sealing portion 320 is arranged around the peripheral wall of the connecting portion 200 .

[0038] In the related art, seals are generally composed of multiple sealing parts, and additional sealing rings are required between the connecting points of the multiple sealing parts. The embodiments of the present invention, by using an integrated first sealing part 310 and second sealing part 320, not only simplifies the structure, but also reduces the material cost of the additional sealing rings. It also reduces the number of processing stations in the production process, effectively saving processing steps and reducing costs.

[0039] The embodiment of the present invention uses an integrally arranged first sealing portion 310 and a second sealing portion 320 to seal the connection portion 200 and the circuit board 110, which can effectively prevent metal chips generated when the connection portion 200 and the circuit board 110 are crimped from escaping from the connector and causing cleaning problems. It is also used to prevent metal chips generated when the connector is connected to an external connection device from entering the external connection device and causing short circuits, equipment failures and damage, etc., thereby reducing equipment cleaning and maintenance costs and pollution. It is also used to ensure equipment performance and reduce the impact of metal chips on connections; and to prevent external pollutants such as water and dust from entering the connector and causing damage to the connector; thereby extending the service life of the equipment and improving safety.

[0040] The connecting portion of the connector is used to connect to an external connection device. Through the provision of the seal 300, it is also used to achieve a sealed connection between the connector and an external connection device such as an OBC box, thereby ensuring the stability of the electrical connection between the two.

[0041] In one embodiment, the connecting portion 200 includes a first section 201 and a second section 202 connected to each other. The first section 201 is connected to the circuit board 110 , and the second section 202 of the connecting portion 200 is used to connect to an external connection device.

[0042] It can be understood that the connecting portion 200 includes a first section 201 and a second section 202 that are connected to each other.

[0043] Specifically, in the technical solution of the present invention, in one embodiment, the connecting portion 200 includes a metal connector 210 and a magnetic core 220. The metal connector 210 has a first end and a second end that are oppositely disposed. The first end of the metal connector 210 is disposed at the first section 201 and connected to the circuit board 110, and the second end of the metal connector 210 is disposed at the second section 202 and is used to connect to an external connection device.

[0044] The magnetic core 220 is disposed in the first section 201 , and is configured to surround the metal connector 210 .

[0045] It can be understood that the first section 201 of the connecting portion 200 is set from the position where the metal connecting piece 210 has the first end to the position where the magnetic core 220 is located, and the second section 202 of the connecting portion 200 is set from the position where the metal connecting piece 210 is exposed outside the magnetic core 220 to the position where the metal connecting piece 210 has the second end. The sealing member 300 is wrapped on the first section 201, and is used to at least seal the connection position of the metal connecting piece 210 and the circuit board 110, so as to avoid the metal chips generated when the metal connecting piece 210 is hard connected with the circuit board 110 from running out of the connector to cause pollution, or even the metal chips generated when the connector is connected from entering the external connecting device to cause the safety problem.

[0046] Optionally, the metal connecting piece 210 can be, but is not limited to, an aluminum rod, a copper rod or any suitable connecting piece made of metal material for actual use.

[0047] In order to further optimize the sealing effect, in an embodiment, the first sealing portion 310 of the sealing member 300 is wrapped on the circuit board 110, and the second sealing portion 320 is arranged at least around the peripheral wall of the first section 201 of the connecting portion 200.

[0048] Through the arrangement of the first sealing portion 310 and the second sealing portion 320, the connection position of the connecting portion 200 and the circuit board 110 is at least sealed and connected. Specifically, the first sealing portion 310 is at least wrapped on the connection position of the magnetic core 220, the metal connecting piece 210 and the circuit board 110. The first sealing portion 310 can be optionally arranged as a sealing ring, a connecting sheet adapted to the connection position of the circuit board 110 and the metal connecting piece 210, etc. The second sealing portion 320 is at least arranged around the peripheral wall of the first section 201 of the connecting portion 200. The second sealing portion 320 can be optionally arranged as a sealing ring, a sealing cover adapted to the peripheral wall of the first section 201 of the connecting portion 200, etc. Herein, no limitation is made. Through the arrangement of the first sealing portion 310 and the second sealing portion 320, the connection position of the magnetic core 220, the metal connecting piece 210 and the circuit board 110 is at least sealed and connected, so as to avoid the metal chips from leaking out of the connector from the gap between the circuit board 110 and the magnetic core 220.

[0049] Through the arrangement of the sealing member 300, in addition to the metal chips generated can be prevented from entering the external connecting device, the problems such as short circuit, equipment failure and damage, etc. can be solved, the cleaning and maintenance cost of the equipment can be reduced, the pollution can be reduced, the performance of the equipment can be ensured, and the influence of the metal chips on the connection can be reduced. In addition, the external water, dust and other pollutants can be prevented from entering the connector from the gap between the circuit board 110 and the magnetic core 220, so as to avoid the damage of the connector.

[0050] Optionally, the sealing member 300 may be made of silicone, rubber (such as nitrile rubber, butyl rubber (IIR)), plastic, etc., so as to further reduce the number of processing steps and lower the production and processing costs.

[0051] Taking the example of the seal 300 being injection molded using liquid silicone as an integral sealing method, the entire connector product is placed in a mold and injection-molded and sealed using liquid silicone. The liquid silicone has its own sealing ring, which ensures the airtightness of the product when installed on the OBC box. Specifically, after completing the connection between the connecting portion 200 and the circuit board 110, the connecting portion 200 and the connecting base 100 with the circuit board 110 installed are placed in a mold. By pouring liquid silicone into the mold, the sealed connection between the connecting portion 200 and the circuit board 110 is completed, and the seal 300 is injection-molded so that the seal 300 at least covers the first section 201 of the connecting portion 200 and the connection position between the connecting portion 200 and the circuit board 110.

[0052] In addition, before liquid silicone injection molding, the circuit board 110 and other parts need to be surface cleaned and primed, and ensure that there is no damage, degumming, bubbles, etc. after injection molding, and there are no defects such as glue overflow and cracking at the boundaries between the seal 300 and the connecting part 200, the circuit board 110, the connecting seat 100, etc., to ensure that the connector has good sealing.

[0053] It should be noted that when the seal 300 also includes a third sealing part 330, a fourth sealing part or other sealing parts, the seal can be constructed by an integrated liquid silicone sealing method, so that the first sealing part 310, the second sealing part 320, the third sealing part 330 and other sealing parts are injection molded as a whole; or, after constructing the first sealing part 310 and the second sealing part 320, the third sealing part 330 and other sealing parts are further constructed by pouring liquid silicone into the mold; the specific method of making the seal can be based on the actual setting and is not limited here.

[0054] In one embodiment, a mounting groove 101 is defined on one side of the connector 100.
