[0031] As shown in the figure, the aluminum busbar connection assembly 100 according to the present invention includes an aluminum busbar connector 110 and an aluminum busbar housing 120. The aluminum busbar connector 110 is provided with a first through hole 111. The aluminum busbar housing 120 surrounds the aluminum busbar connector 110, and the aluminum busbar wire 112 of the aluminum busbar connector 110 extends out of the aluminum busbar housing 120. The aluminum busbar housing 120 has a first opening 121 and a second opening 122, which are respectively provided on both sides of the aluminum busbar connector 110 and aligned with the first through hole 111. In this way, the stud 151 of the bolt 150 can pass through the aligned first opening 121, the first through hole 111 of the aluminum busbar, and the second opening 122 to connect with the terminal side and form an electrical connection.

[0032] The aluminum busbar connecting assembly 100 further includes a gasket 130, which is disposed around the periphery of the first through hole 111 of the aluminum busbar connector 110. The gasket 130 has a cylindrical portion 131 fitted onto the inner wall of the first through hole 111 and an annular portion 132 on one side of the aluminum busbar connector 110 surrounding the first through hole 111.

[0044] The other end of the guide sleeve 140 extends out of the aluminum busbar housing 120 at the first opening 121. When the terminal connection assembly 200 and the aluminum busbar connection assembly 100 are assembled together, the other end of the guide sleeve 140 is inserted into the terminal cavity 241. The edge of the first opening 121 of the aluminum busbar housing 120 and the edge of the terminal cavity 241 of the terminal housing 230 have snap-fit ​​structures, so that the first opening 121 and the terminal cavity 241 engage and lock together.

[0045] The advantages of the charging base according to this utility model are that the charging base with aluminum busbar connection is divided into two parts: an aluminum busbar connection assembly and a terminal connection assembly. These two parts are connected by conductive bolts, which are connected to the aluminum busbar connection assembly. This reduces the number of parts. Original equipment manufacturers can manufacture the aluminum busbar connection assembly and the terminal connection assembly separately using standard technical means. During installation, the two parts only need to be plugged together and the bolts tightened to complete the installation operation. This is very advantageous in the space-constrained interior of a vehicle. At the same time, because the aluminum busbar connection assembly is plugged in, it can rotate at multiple angles to meet different installation requirements, making it highly versatile.
