Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive electrical box technology, and in particular to an electrical box. Background Art

[0002] The common way to fix an electrical box in a car is to attach it to the battery. While meeting the requirements of automotive electrical principles, it is also necessary to ensure the strength of the electrical box itself. With the development of new energy vehicles, electrical functions are becoming more and more abundant, and the requirements for weight and cost are getting higher and higher. The requirements for weight and cost of automotive electrical boxes are also getting higher and higher. Stability, efficiency, lightweight and low cost have become important requirements for the production and use of automotive electrical boxes.

[0003] Currently, most electrical boxes mounted on the top of automobiles are double-sided to ensure installation stability. For example, patent CN218769383U discloses a platform-based automotive BFB power supply fuse box device, which includes a power supply fuse box for connecting to the power supply. The power supply fuse box is provided with an extended locking arm for locking onto the side wall of the power supply. The power supply fuse box and the power supply are provided with a matching elastic deformation structure so that the extended locking arm can lock the side wall of the power supply.

[0004] The aforementioned fuse box device on the power supply is mounted on the side of the main fuse box, closely attached to the side of the power supply, via an extended locking arm. The deformable extended locking arm, secured by an elastic deformation structure, allows the main fuse box to be used with power supplies of different tolerances. To ensure proper mounting with the battery, the fuse box must be larger than the battery itself in one direction, resulting in fuse boxes with fewer functions requiring larger sizes, which increases the overall weight and cost. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention proposes an electrical box that can be hung on one side of the battery, which solves the problem that the electrical box on the battery in the prior art is too large, which increases the total weight and cost of the product.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0007] An electrical box capable of unilateral battery mounting includes a main body. The lower part of the main body has a limiting component and a mounting component. The limiting component includes a horizontal limiting structure and a vertical limiting structure. The horizontal limiting structure and the mounting component are located at adjacent side edges of the main body. The main body has a positive battery terminal for connection to the positive terminal of the battery. The limiting component ensures accurate installation of the electrical box on the battery. The connection between the positive battery terminal and the positive terminal of the battery, and the connection between the mounting component and the battery, work together to achieve unilateral mounting of the electrical box on the battery, ensuring stable installation. Furthermore, because the electrical box can be mounted on one side, its size can be effectively reduced, lowering space requirements and reducing costs.

[0008] The mounting assembly includes a hook, which is located on one side of the main body and engages with the edge of the battery. The hook is an elastic structure; when the electrical box is installed onto the battery, pressing the electrical box causes the edge of the battery to push up the hook head, allowing the hook head to pass over the edge of the battery, thus achieving a mounting connection between the hook head and the edge of the battery. After the hook is connected to the edge of the battery, the electrical box and the battery are connected.

[0009] The horizontal limiting structure includes a first limiting structure and a second limiting structure. The first limiting structure is L-shaped, and the second limiting structure is straight. The first limiting structure mates with the two adjacent sides of the battery, and the second limiting structure mates with one side of the battery, ensuring that the electrical box is installed accurately in a horizontal position on the battery.

[0010] The vertical limiting structure includes an elastic support structure, which is located in the middle of the bottom surface of the main body. After the mounting assembly is attached to the battery, the elastic support structure uses the top surface of the battery as support to lift the electrical box, eliminating the gap between the hook and the edge of the battery, and improving the stability of the electrical box on the battery.

[0011] The vertical limiting structure also includes a third limiting structure, which is located on the bottom surface of the main body. The third limiting structure is a columnar structure, which is a rigid limiting structure. When the electrical box is in use, it can reduce the vibration amplitude and reduce the risk of breakage of the conductive sheet inside the electrical box.

[0012] The main body is equipped with a terminal hook-up structure, which engages with the positive battery terminal. The terminal hook-up structure secures the positive battery terminal, ensuring its stable installation within the main body.

[0013] The main body has a positioning groove that mates with the positive battery terminal. The positioning groove mates with the bottom surface of the bolt on the positive battery terminal to ensure that the positive battery terminal is accurately positioned within the main body.

[0014] The positive battery terminal is connected to a conductive electrode plate, which has a bent structure. The bent structure enhances the structural strength of the conductive electrode plate and reduces the risk of breakage due to vibration during use of the electrical box.

[0015] The main body contains a safety conductive plate and multiple safety devices, which are connected to the safety conductive plate. The safety devices and the safety conductive plate are connected to the main body by nuts and bolts.

[0016] The main body is equipped with a top cover. The top cover is connected to the main body by a snap-fit ​​mechanism, and provides protection for the fuses and other components inside the main body, ensuring the safe use of the electrical box.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. The connection between the positive terminal of the battery and the positive terminal of the battery terminal, and the connection between the hanging component and the battery work together to realize the single-sided hanging of the electrical box on the battery. While ensuring the stable installation of the electrical box on the battery, it can effectively reduce the size of the electrical box, reduce the space requirements, and reduce the cost of the electrical box.

[0018] 2. The limiting components limit the installation position of the electrical box on the battery to ensure accurate installation; the third limiting structure is a rigid limiting structure, which can reduce the vibration amplitude and reduce the risk of breakage of the conductive sheet inside the electrical box when it is in use.

[0019] 3. The conductive sheet adopts a bending structure, which can enhance the strength of the electrode conductive sheet from the structure of the conductive sheet itself, reducing the risk of the electrode conductive sheet breaking due to vibration during the use of the electrical box.

[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] Example 1, such as Figure 1 As shown, an electrical box capable of unilaterally mounting a battery includes a main body 5. The lower part of the main body 5 is provided with a limiting component and a mounting component. The limiting component includes a horizontal limiting structure and a vertical limiting structure. The horizontal limiting structure and the mounting component are located at adjacent side edges of the main body 5. The main body 5 is provided with a positive battery terminal 6 for connection to the positive terminal 15 of the battery. The limiting components restrict the installation position of the electrical box on the battery, ensuring accurate installation. Specifically, the horizontal limiting structure restricts the horizontal direction of the electrical box, and the vertical limiting structure restricts the vertical direction of the electrical box, ensuring a stable distance between the electrical box and the top surface of the battery after installation. The mounting component and the positive battery terminal 6 work together to ensure stable installation of the electrical box on the battery.

[0030] Furthermore, since the horizontal limiting structure and the hanging component are located on adjacent sides of the electrical box, the other two sides of the electrical box do not need to be equipped with limiting structures or hanging structures. The connection between the positive battery terminal 6 and the positive battery terminal 15, as well as the connection between the hanging component and the battery, work together to enable the electrical box to be hung on one side of the battery, ensuring that the electrical box is installed stably on the battery. Moreover, since the electrical box can be hung on one side, the size of the electrical box can be effectively reduced, the space requirements can be reduced, and the cost of the electrical box can be reduced.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the mounting assembly includes a hook 16, which is located on one side of the main body 5. The hook 16 engages with the battery edge 9. The hook 16 is an elastic structure. When the electrical box is installed onto the battery, pressing the electrical box causes the battery edge 9 to push up the head of the hook 16, allowing the head of the hook 16 to pass over the battery edge 9, thus achieving a mounting connection between the head of the hook 16 and the battery edge 9. After the hook 16 is connected to the battery edge 9, the electrical box and the battery are connected.

[0032] Furthermore, the horizontal limiting structure includes a first limiting structure 10 and a second limiting structure 11. The first limiting structure 10 is L-shaped, and the second limiting structure 11 is straight. After the electrical box is installed, the inner side of the first limiting structure 10 simultaneously abuts against the two adjacent sides of the battery, and the second limiting structure 11 abuts against one side of the battery. The first limiting structure 10 and the second limiting structure 11 work together to limit the electrical box in the X and Y directions on the battery, ensuring the accurate horizontal position of the electrical box on the battery.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the vertical limiting structure includes an elastic support structure 17, which is located in the middle of the bottom surface of the main body 5. After the mounting assembly is attached to the battery, the elastic support structure 17 uses the top surface of the battery as support to lift the electrical box, thereby limiting the electrical box in the Z direction on the battery. At the same time, the elastic support structure 17 can eliminate the gap between the hook 16 and the battery edge 9, improving the installation stability of the electrical box on the battery.

[0034] Furthermore, the vertical limiting structure also includes a third limiting structure 12, which is disposed on the bottom surface of the main body 5. In this embodiment, the third limiting structure 12 is a columnar body, which is a rigid limiting structure. The third limiting structure 12 is disposed at a position away from the positive battery terminal 6, which can reduce the vibration amplitude and reduce the risk of breakage of the conductive sheet inside the electrical box when it is in use.

[0035] Example 2, based on Example 1, provides an electrical box that can have a battery mounted on one side, such as... Figure 4 , Figure 6 As shown, the main body 5 is equipped with a terminal hook-up structure 13, which is engaged with the positive battery terminal 6. The terminal hook-up structure 13 limits the positive battery terminal 6 in the Z direction within the main body 5, fixes the positive battery terminal 6, and ensures the installation stability of the positive battery terminal 6 within the main body 5.

[0036] Furthermore, the main body 5 is provided with a positioning groove 14, which mates with the positive battery terminal 6. Specifically, the positioning groove 14 mates with the bottom surface of the bolt on the positive battery terminal 6 to ensure that the positive battery terminal is accurately installed in the main body; at the same time, after the electrical box is connected to the battery, the positive terminal 15 of the battery is connected to the positive battery terminal 6.

[0037] During the installation of the electrical box, the electrical box is installed onto the battery from top to bottom; as the electrical box moves downward, the positive terminal 15 of the battery is connected to the positive battery terminal 6; when the positive terminal 15 of the battery is connected to the positive battery terminal 6, the mounting component is connected to the battery, thus achieving single-sided mounting of the electrical box and the battery.

[0038] Furthermore, an electrode conductive plate 7 is connected to the positive battery terminal 6. The electrode conductive plate 7 has a bent structure. The electrode conductive plate 7 has a through hole. When installing the electrode conductive plate 7, the bolt on the positive battery terminal 6 passes through the through hole on the electrode conductive plate 7. Then, a second nut 8 is installed on the bolt on the positive battery terminal 6 to fix the electrode conductive plate 7, ensuring the installation stability of the electrode conductive plate 7. At the same time, the bent structure can enhance the structural strength of the electrode conductive plate 7 and reduce the risk of the electrode conductive plate 7 breaking due to vibration during the use of the electrical box.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the main body 5 contains a safety conductive sheet 4 and multiple safety devices 3, with the safety devices 3 connected to the safety conductive sheet 4. In this embodiment, the safety devices 3 are MIDI safety devices, and there are four safety devices 3. The safety conductive sheet 4 and the safety devices 3 are positioned by bolts inside the main body 5, and a first nut 2 is installed on the bolt to fix the safety devices 3 and the safety conductive sheet 4, ensuring that the safety devices 3 and the safety conductive sheet 4 are stably installed inside the main body 5.

[0040] Furthermore, the main body 5 is provided with a top cover 1. The top cover 1 is connected to the main body 5 by a snap-fit ​​mechanism, and the top cover 1 provides protection for the fuse 3 and other components inside the main body 5, ensuring the safe use of the electrical box.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
