Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery pack accessories technology, and in particular to a connector fixing bracket and electrical equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Wiring harness connectors are essential electrical components for connecting wiring harnesses in battery packs. Their purpose is to improve the reliability of circuit connections within the battery pack and increase assembly efficiency. Currently, the connection and fixation of wiring harness connectors in battery packs are generally achieved by using the connector's own fixing clips, fixing them by making separate holes in the electrical compartment within the battery pack, or using a separate bracket to fix the connector. This method cannot utilize the vertical space within the battery pack, forcing a flat layout. When space is limited in the electrical compartment of the battery pack, the separate fixing of the connector not only affects space utilization and reduces the energy density of the battery pack, but also results in low integration, poor maintainability, and low assembly efficiency.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a new type of connector mounting bracket and electrical equipment to solve the above-mentioned technical problems in the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0022] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components.

[0024] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0025] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0026] The first direction described in this embodiment is: Figure 1 and Figure 2 The X direction shown is the horizontal direction and the length direction of the support body 100; the second direction is... Figure 1 andFigure 2 The Y direction shown is the vertical direction and the height direction of the support body 100. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, the connector fixing bracket includes a bracket body 100. The bracket body 100 has a receiving cavity 101 extending along a first direction. N bracket plates are provided in the bracket body 100 at intervals along a second direction to divide the receiving cavity 101 into N+1 fixing cavities 102 for fixing the connector body 10 one by one. Each fixing cavity 102 and located at any end of the bracket body 100 along the first direction is provided with a fixing part 110 for fixing the connector body 10. Wherein, N≥1, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0028] In this embodiment, the connector fixing bracket divides the receiving cavity 101 into multiple fixing cavities 102 distributed along the second direction through a bracket plate. Each fixing cavity 102 is provided with a corresponding connector body 10. The fixing cavity 102 is provided with a fixing part 110, which is specifically fixed to any end of the bracket body 100 along the first direction. The connector body 10 is fixed to the fixing part 110, thereby fixing the connector body 10 to the connector fixing bracket. This connector fixing bracket can utilize the space in the second direction, that is, the vertical direction, to install the connector body 10, saving the internal space of the electrical equipment. Furthermore, it can use one connector fixing bracket to fix multiple connector bodies 10 at the same time, improving the installation efficiency of the connector body 10.

[0029] Furthermore, the aforementioned bracket body 100 includes two body portions 120, both extending along the second direction, which are arranged opposite to each other. Each of the aforementioned fixing cavities 102 has two fixing portions 110, which are correspondingly arranged one-to-one with the two body portions 120. The two fixing portions 110 allow for simultaneous fixing of both left and right sides of the connector body 10, improving the fixing effect of the connector body 10.

[0030] In this embodiment, the main body 120 is provided with a connecting part 130 at its bottom end along the second direction. The connecting part 130 can be fixed to an external device. Specifically, the external device is a structural component such as the enclosure or internal support of an electrical device. The connecting part 130 can be fixed to these structural components by means of riveting, bolting, welding, or bonding, thereby improving the fixing effect.

[0031] Specifically, both the connecting portion 130 and the fixing portion 110 are provided with mounting holes 111 for passing through fixing bolts 103 or fixing rivets. In this embodiment, the mounting holes 111 are used to pass through fixing bolts 103, thereby firmly fixing the bracket body 100 to the external device, or firmly fixing the connector body 10 to the bracket body 100. This provides better fixing effect and allows for easier disassembly and maintenance, improving maintenance efficiency while reducing maintenance costs.

[0032] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 1 Optionally, the dimension of the fixing cavity 102 along the second direction is larger than the dimension of the corresponding connector body 10 along the second direction. This fixed cavity 102 can conveniently accommodate a connector body 10, facilitating the placement of the connector body 10 along the first direction into the fixed cavity 102, thereby improving convenience and installation efficiency.

[0033] Furthermore, the dimension of the bracket body 100 along the first direction is not greater than the dimension of the connector body 10 along the first direction. Since the dimension of the bracket body 100 along the first direction is not greater than the dimension of the connector body 10 along the first direction, the tail end of the connector body 10 along the first direction can extend out of the fixing cavity 102, thereby not affecting the wiring at the tail end of the connector body 10, and facilitating the installation and fixing of the connector body 10.

[0034] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 2 The aforementioned support body 100 also includes a top portion 140, one end of which is connected to the top end of one of the aforementioned body portions 120 along the second direction, and the other end of which is connected to the top end of another of the aforementioned body portions 120 along the second direction. The top portion 140 and the two aforementioned body portions 120 surround the aforementioned receiving cavity 101. The top portion 140 can connect the top ends of the two aforementioned body portions 120, making the support body 100 "U"-shaped, thereby improving the structural stability of the support body 100.

[0035] Optionally, the aforementioned receiving cavity 101 includes a connector body 10 with a mounting portion 11, and the aforementioned top portion 140 has a fixing hole 141 for insertion into the mounting portion 11. In this embodiment, the connector fixing bracket not only allows for the installation of the connector body 10 using the receiving cavity 101 of the bracket body 100, but also allows for the fixing of additional connector bodies 10 using the fixing hole 141 of the top portion 140, increasing the number of connector bodies 10 that can be installed and improving the utilization rate of the connector fixing bracket.

[0036] It should be noted that the aforementioned body portion 120, the aforementioned fixing portion 110, the aforementioned connecting portion 130, and the aforementioned top portion 140 are integrally formed by sheet metal stamping or integral injection molding. In this embodiment, the aforementioned connector fixing bracket is manufactured by integral sheet metal stamping. The sheet metal used here is a metal sheet, which can reduce the production cost of the connector fixing bracket, while its structure is more reliable and stable.

[0037] Another objective of this utility model is to provide an electrical device that includes a connector fixing bracket as described in any of the above embodiments. The electrical device described in this embodiment includes a battery pack, and electric vehicles, ships, energy storage devices, etc., using the battery pack, which will not be elaborated further here. This electrical device uses the connector fixing bracket described in any of the above embodiments, thereby achieving the beneficial effects of the connector fixing bracket described in any of the above embodiments. Specifically, it can utilize the vertical space inside the electrical device, improving the internal space utilization rate of the electrical device, while simultaneously fixing multiple connector bodies 10, improving the level of integration, and increasing assembly efficiency.

[0038] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model.
