[0045] Existing battery packs 100 generally include a housing 110, an electrical integration module 130, and a cover 140. The housing 110 houses the battery module 120, which is typically electrically connected to the electrical integration module 130 using bolts and conductive wires. Therefore, the cover 140 requires space for the installation of bolts and conductive wires, resulting in a relatively large height for the cover 140. This, in turn, leads to a larger overall height for the battery pack 100, hindering its miniaturization design. Furthermore, a connector (not shown in the figure) is mounted on the outside of the housing 110 of the battery pack 100. This connector is connected to the housing 110 using bolts, and the sealing at the bolted connection is often a point of airtightness failure.

[0046] To solve the above technical problems, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in a first aspect, this utility model provides a battery pack 100, comprising:

[0047] The housing 110 contains a battery module 120, which has a positive output terminal 121 and a negative output terminal 122.

[0048] An electrical integration module 130 is disposed above the battery module 120. The electrical integration module 130 has a first output terminal 131 and a second output terminal 132 on opposite sides. The first output terminal 131 is electrically connected to the negative output terminal.

[0049] A cover 140 is disposed above the housing 110. The electrical integrated module 130 is located between the housing 110 and the cover 140. A first high-voltage connecting post 150 and a second high-voltage connecting post 160 are disposed inside the cover 140. The first high-voltage connecting post 150 and the second high-voltage connecting post 160 have a first state close to the housing 110 and a second state far away from the housing 110. In the first state, the first high-voltage connecting post 150 is inserted into the positive output terminal 121 along the first direction, and the second high-voltage connecting post 160 is inserted into the second output terminal 132 along the first direction.

[0050] Specifically, a battery module 120 is installed inside the housing 110. The battery module 120 is composed of multiple individual battery cells connected in series and parallel. The battery module 120 has a positive output terminal 121 and a negative output terminal 122 at its top. The axes of both the positive output terminal 121 and the negative output terminal 122 are parallel to a first direction, wherein the first direction is... Figure 1 The z-direction in the equation.

[0051] The electrical integration module 130 can be a modular structure integrating BMS (Battery Management System) devices, circuit breaker detection elements, and other electrical components to reduce wiring harness arrangement. The electrical integration module 130 is located above the battery module 120. The electrical integration module 130 has a first output terminal 131 and a second output terminal 132 offset on both sides along a second direction. The second direction is a plane direction perpendicular to the first direction; for example, the second direction could be... Figure 1 The first output terminal 131 is located close to the negative output terminal 122 and is electrically connected to the negative output terminal 122 to transmit electrical signals. That is, the first output terminal 131 serves as the output terminal of the negative signal of the battery module 120 to transmit electrical signals. The second output terminal 132 is located away from the positive output terminal 121 and is located on the electrical integrated module 130. The second output terminal 132 can be electrically connected to the second high-voltage connection post 160. That is, the second output terminal 132 serves as the output terminal of the negative signal of the battery pack 100 to transmit signals.

[0052] The cover 140 is injection molded and is positioned above the housing 110. The edges of the cover 140 can be screwed into the side walls 141 of the housing 110. Multiple bolts can be used to connect the cover 140 to the side walls 141 of the housing 110. The electrical integration module 130 is located inside the connection between the cover 140 and the housing 110. A first high-voltage connection post 150 and a second high-voltage connection post 160 are provided on the side wall 141 of the cover 140, which is closer to the positive output terminal 121 along the second direction. The first high-voltage connecting post 150 and the second high-voltage connecting post 160 have a first state close to the housing 110 and a second state away from the housing 110. In the first state, one end of the first high-voltage connecting post 150 passes through the side wall 141 of the cover 140 and is plugged into the connector, while the other end is plugged into the positive output terminal 121 in the first direction to realize the electrical connection between the first high-voltage connecting post 150 and the positive output terminal 121. This eliminates the need for bolts and conductive wires to connect the first high-voltage connecting post 150 and the positive output terminal 121, saving space occupied by bolts and conductive wires, reducing safety hazards associated with conductive wire connections, and improving the safety of the battery pack 100.

[0053] One end of the second high-voltage connecting post 160 passes through the side wall 141 of the cover 140 and is plugged into the connector. The other end is plugged into the second output terminal 132 along the first direction to realize the electrical connection between the second high-voltage connecting post 160 and the second output terminal 132. This eliminates the need for bolts and conductive wires to connect the second high-voltage connecting post 160 and the second output terminal 132, allowing the battery module 120, the electrical integration module 130, and the connector to form a complete circuit. It also saves space occupied by bolts and conductive wires, reduces safety hazards associated with conductive wire connections, and improves the safety of the battery pack 100.

[0054] It should be noted that, as Figure 1As shown, a low-voltage connecting post 170 is also provided on the side wall 141 of the cover 140. The low-voltage connecting post 170, the first high-voltage connecting post 150, and the second high-voltage connecting post 160 are located on the same side wall 141, and the low-voltage connecting post 170 is located between the first high-voltage connecting post 150 and the second high-voltage connecting post 160. The low-voltage connecting post 170 is a low-voltage communication pin. The low-voltage communication pin is provided through the side wall 141 of the cover 140. The part of the pin extending out of the side wall 141 of the cover 140 can be directly plugged into a connector, and the part extending into the side wall 141 of the cover 140 can be directly soldered to a wire harness. The length of the low-voltage communication pin extending into the cover 140 is less than the length of the first high-voltage connecting post 150 extending into the cover 140, and the length of the low-voltage communication pin extending into the cover 140 is less than the length of the second high-voltage connecting post 160 extending into the cover 140. Through the insertion and engagement of the first high-voltage connecting post 150, the second high-voltage connecting post 160, and the low-voltage connecting post 170 with the connector, the first high-voltage connecting post 150 is connected to the battery module 120, and the second high-voltage connecting post 160 is connected to the electrical integration module 130, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the battery module 120 inside the battery pack 100, the electrical integration module 130, and the connector outside the battery pack 100.

[0055] The battery pack 100 provided by this utility model has a simple structure. By setting a first high-voltage connecting post 150 and a second high-voltage post, the cover 140 and the connector on the outside of the battery pack 100 can be connected by plugging in. Furthermore, by plugging in the first high-voltage connecting post 150 with the positive output terminal 121 of the battery module 120 and the second high-voltage connecting post 160 with the electrical integration module 130, the height of the cover 140 can be minimized, reducing the overall height of the battery pack 100. It also reduces the installation of bolts and conductive wires, saving costs and improving the integration and safety of the battery pack 100.

[0056] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 As shown, the first high-voltage connection post 150 includes a first post body 151, the axis of the first post body 151 is perpendicular to the first direction, and a first connection portion 152 extending along the first direction is provided at one end of the first post body 151 near the electrical integrated module 130; the positive output terminal 121 is provided with a first socket, and in the first state, the first connection portion 152 and the first socket are inserted and engaged along the first direction.

[0057] The second high-voltage connection post 160 includes a second post body 161, the axis of which is perpendicular to the first direction. The second post body 161 is provided with a second connection portion 162 extending along the first direction at one end near the electrical integrated module 130. The second output end 132 includes a first mounting hole. In the first state, the second connection portion 162 is inserted into the first mounting hole along the first direction.

[0058] Specifically, the first column body 151 and the second column body 161 are conventional high-voltage connection column structures in the art. For example, the first column body 151 and the second column body 161 have the same structure, both including a conductive segment 1510, an axial limiting segment 1511, a circumferential limiting segment 1512, and a connecting segment 1513 connected in sequence. The conductive segment 1510 can be a cylindrical structure, passing through the side wall 141 of the cover 140 and extending a certain length beyond the cover 140, allowing it to be inserted and mated with the connector along the second direction to achieve electrical connection. The connector can also be injection molded with the cover 140 in one piece, reducing the use of seals, bolts, etc., and lowering corresponding risks. The axial limiting section 1511 is a frustum structure, and the circumferential limiting section 1512 is a cylindrical structure with a notch. The axial limiting section 1511 and the circumferential limiting section 1512 can cooperate with the side wall 141 of the cover 140 to restrict the first high-pressure connecting column 150 from moving axially and rotating circumferentially, and to restrict the second high-pressure connecting column 160 from moving axially and rotating circumferentially. In an example configuration, the side wall 141 of the cover 140 is provided with a first through hole 1411 that mates with the first high-pressure connecting post 150 and a second through hole 1412 that mates with the second high-pressure connecting post 160. Both the first through hole 1411 and the second through hole 1412 have notched cylindrical holes that mate with the circumferential limiting section 1512. The circumferential rotation of the first high-pressure connecting post 150 and the second high-pressure connecting post 160 is restricted by the engagement of the notched cylindrical structure and the notched cylindrical holes. The first through hole 1411 and the second through hole 1412 are also provided with multiple protrusions that mate with the axial limiting section 1511. These protrusions are circumferentially distributed, and their engagement with the frustum structure restricts the axial movement of the first high-pressure connecting post 150 and the second high-pressure connecting post 160, thereby ensuring a tight fit between the first high-pressure connecting post 150 and the second high-pressure connecting post 160 and the side wall 141 of the cover 140. It is understandable that a groove is provided between the axial limiting section 1511 and the circumferential limiting section 1512, and a sealing gasket is installed in the groove so that the first high-pressure connecting column 150 and the second high-pressure connecting column 160 are respectively sealed to the side wall 141 of the cover 140.

[0059] The lower end face of the connecting section 1513 of the first high-voltage connecting post 150 and the second high-voltage connecting post 160 is respectively provided with a first connecting portion 152 and a second connecting portion 162 extending along a first direction. The lower end face of the connecting section 1513 can be set as a horizontal plane to facilitate fixed connection with the first connecting portion 152 or the second connecting portion 162. The upper end face of the connecting section 1513 can be a horizontal plane, an arc-shaped plane, etc., and those skilled in the art can set it according to actual needs. The provision of the first connecting portion 152 and the second connecting portion 162 can extend the length of the first high-voltage connecting post 150 and the second high-voltage connecting post 160 along the first direction, facilitating the insertion and engagement of the first high-voltage connecting post 150 with the positive output terminal 121, and facilitating the insertion and engagement of the second high-voltage connecting post 160 with the second output terminal 132. The first connecting portion 152 and the second connecting portion 162 can be conductive connecting portions made of conductive material.

[0060] The positive output terminal 121 of the battery module 120 is formed by a first insertion hole extending along a first direction. In a first state, the first connecting part 152 can be inserted into the blind hole of the positive output terminal 121 to achieve electrical connection between the first high-voltage connecting post 150 and the positive output terminal 121. The electrical integrated module 130 has a relief groove on the side near the second high-voltage connecting post 160, and a first mounting hole is provided at the relief groove. The second connecting part 162 can be inserted into the first mounting hole to achieve electrical connection between the second high-voltage connecting post 160 and the second output terminal 132 of the electrical integrated module 130.

[0061] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 As shown, the length of the first connecting part 152 is greater than the length of the second connecting part 162, and in the first state, the upper end surface of the first column body 151 is flush with the upper end surface of the second column body 161.

[0062] Specifically, since the electrical integrated module 130 is located above the battery module 120, and the first high-voltage connecting post 150 and the second high-voltage connecting post 160 are at the same horizontal height on the side wall 141 of the cover 140, in order to ensure that in the first state, the first connecting part 152 is plugged into the positive output terminal 121 of the battery module 120, and the second connecting part 162 is plugged into the first mounting hole, and that the upper surfaces of the first high-voltage connecting post 150 and the second high-voltage connecting post 160 are still at the same horizontal height, the length of the first connecting part 152 along the first direction is greater than the length of the second connecting part 162 along the first direction, so as to compensate for the height difference between the electrical integrated module 130 and the battery module 120.

[0063] In some embodiments, as Figure 4As shown, the electrical integration module 130 is provided with a clearance opening 133, and the first connecting part 152 is disposed at the clearance opening 133 and is plugged into the first socket.

[0064] Specifically, the setting of the avoidance port 133 can prevent the first high-voltage connection post 150 and the second high-voltage connection post 160 from being electrically connected to the electrical integrated module 130, thus avoiding a short circuit and improving the safety of the battery pack 100.

[0065] In some embodiments, the first high-voltage connector 150 is a positive high-voltage connector, and the second high-voltage connector 160 is a negative high-voltage connector.

[0066] Specifically, the positive output terminal 121 of the battery module 120 is electrically connected to the positive high-voltage connection post, and the negative output terminal 122 of the battery module 120 is electrically connected to the negative high-voltage connection post through the electrical integration module 130. The positive high-voltage connection post, the negative high-voltage connection post, and the low-voltage connection post 170 are all connected to the connector to form a complete charging circuit.

[0067] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 As shown, the electrical integration module 130 has a third state close to the battery module 120 and a fourth state away from the battery module 120. In the third state, the first output terminal 131 and the negative output terminal 122 are plugged into each other along the first direction.

[0068] Specifically, the first output terminal 131 of the electrical integration module 130 is plugged into the negative output terminal 122 of the battery module 120 to realize the electrical connection between the first output terminal 131 and the negative output terminal 122. This can further reduce the installation of bolts and conductive wires, simplify the assembly process of the battery pack 100, improve the assembly efficiency of the battery pack 100, save the space occupied by bolts and conductive wires, reduce the safety hazards of conductive wire connections, and improve the safety of the battery pack 100.

[0069] In some embodiments, as Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the first output terminal 131 includes a connecting plate 1311, which is fixedly connected to the electrical integration module 130. The connecting plate 1311 extends along a second direction toward a side away from the electrical integration module 130, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. The connecting plate 1311 is provided with a plug-in portion 1312 extending along the first direction.

[0070] The negative output terminal 122 is provided with a second socket, and the plug-in part 1312 is plugged into the second socket along the first direction.

[0071] Specifically, the negative output terminal 122 of the battery module 120 is formed by a second socket extending along a first direction, and the axial directions of the positive output terminal 121 and the negative output terminal 122 are parallel. The electrical integrated module 130 is provided with a bent and conductive connecting plate 1311 and a plug-in portion 1312, wherein the connecting plate 1311 extends along a second direction, and the plug-in portion 1312 extends along a first direction. The plug-in portion 1312 can be inserted into the second socket along the first direction, so that the electrical integrated module 130 is electrically connected to the negative output terminal 122 through the cooperation of the connecting plate 1311 and the plug-in portion 1312.

[0072] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the electrical integration module 130 and the battery module 120 are respectively provided with a signal acquisition plug 123 and a signal acquisition slot 134 on their adjacent sides. In the third state, the signal acquisition plug 123 and the signal acquisition slot 134 are plugged into each other along the first direction.

[0073] Specifically, the signal acquisition plug 123 is positioned above the battery module 120, between the positive output terminal 121 and the negative output terminal 122. The signal acquisition plug 123 contains multiple sockets. The signal acquisition slot 134 is located on the electrical integration module 130. The signal acquisition slot 134 contains multiple insertion rods, each corresponding to a socket. When the signal acquisition plug 123 is inserted into the signal acquisition slot 134, the insertion rods also insert into their respective sockets, establishing an electrical connection between the plug 123 and the slot 134. The signal acquisition plug 123 can acquire the voltage signals of each individual cell within the battery module 120 and transmit these signals to the electrical integration module 130 (e.g., a BMS device) via the signal acquisition slot 134. The BMS device can then calculate information such as the cell's temperature, voltage, and current based on the acquired voltage signals for thermal management of the battery pack 100.

[0074] In some embodiments, as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the cover 140 includes a side wall 141, and a top wall 142 is provided at the upper end of the side wall 141. A plurality of support columns 1421 are provided on the top wall 142. The electrical integration module 130 is provided with a plurality of second mounting holes 135 corresponding to the positions of the support columns 1421. The support columns 1421 and the second mounting holes 135 are inserted and engaged along the first direction.

[0075] Specifically, the sidewalls 141 form a cavity structure. The first high-voltage connecting post 150, the second high-voltage connecting post 160, and the low-voltage connecting post 170 all extend into the cavity structure through the sidewalls 141. A top wall 142 is provided at the upper end of the sidewalls 141. Multiple support posts 1421 are provided on the top wall 142 at positions corresponding to the electrical integrated module 130. The support posts 1421 can be cylindrical. The electrical integrated module 130 is provided with second mounting holes 135 corresponding to the support posts 1421. The support posts 1421 can be inserted into the mounting holes to achieve the insertion and engagement of the top wall 142 of the cover 140 and the electrical integrated module 130. Alternatively, the support posts 1421 can be studs, and the corresponding mounting holes can be threaded holes, so that the top wall 142 of the cover 140 and the electrical integrated module 130 are screwed together, thus securing the cover 140 and the electrical integrated module 130 together.

[0076] The following is a specific example illustrating the assembly method of the battery pack 100 provided in this application embodiment, including:

[0077] The first high-voltage connecting post 150 and the second high-voltage connecting post 160 pass through the side wall 141 of the cover 140 and are fixedly connected to the cover 140; and a low-voltage connecting post 170 is fixed on the side wall 141 of the cover 140. The parts of the first high-voltage connecting post 150, the second high-voltage connecting post 160 and the low-voltage connecting post 170 that extend out of the cover 140 are engaged with the connector to achieve electrical connection.

[0078] The first output terminal 131 of the electrical integrated module 130 is inserted into the negative output terminal 122 of the battery module 120 along the first direction to achieve electrical connection; and the signal acquisition plug 123 on the electrical integrated module 130 can be inserted into the signal acquisition slot 134 of the battery module 120 along the first direction to achieve electrical connection.

[0079] The cover 140 moves toward the side closer to the electrical integrated module 130, and the first high-voltage connecting post 150 is inserted into the positive output terminal 121 of the battery module 120 along the first direction to achieve electrical connection, and the second high-voltage connecting post 160 is inserted into the first mounting hole of the electrical integrated module 130 along the first direction to achieve electrical connection. At the same time, the multiple support posts 1421 on the cover 140 can be inserted into the corresponding multiple second mounting holes 135 on the electrical integrated module 130, thereby completing the assembly of the battery pack 100.
