Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of integrated busbar support technology, specifically relating to an integrated busbar support and an integrated busbar using the integrated busbar support. Background Technology

[0002] In the new energy field, to ensure the safe use of battery modules, integrated busbars are installed on the battery modules to collect parameters such as voltage and temperature of the battery cells. Existing integrated busbars generally include a bracket, a data acquisition component (such as an FPC), and a busbar. The bracket has mounting slots whose dimensions are adapted to the busbars. The mounting slots contain heat-fitting posts, and the busbars are placed within the mounting slots and fixed by the heat-fitting posts. However, the mounting slots of this type of bracket can only accommodate one type of busbar, resulting in poor versatility; any change in the size of the busbar requires replacing the bracket, leading to high costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide an integrated busbar support.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model discloses an integrated busbar support, comprising a support body, wherein at least one side of the support body is provided with multiple mounting structures, each mounting structure being used to fix a busbar component.

[0005] The installation structure includes two limiting buckles, each limiting buckle including a side limiting part, an upper limiting part and a rear limiting part. The side limiting part is erected on the main body of the bracket, and the upper limiting part is located on the top of the side limiting part. The side limiting part, the upper limiting part and the main body of the bracket form a side U-shaped groove, and the rear limiting part is located on the rear side of the side U-shaped groove.

[0006] The openings of the side U-shaped grooves of the two limit buckles are arranged facing each other to form an installation groove;

[0007] The bottom of the mounting groove is provided with a protrusion that engages with the through hole of the integrated busbar's busbar component.

[0008] Preferably, the rear limiting portion is connected to the rear side of the side limiting portion and the upper limiting portion.

[0009] Preferably, the main body of the bracket, the side limiting part, the upper limiting part and the rear limiting part are integrally formed.

[0010] Preferably, each of the side limiting portions has a hollowed-out groove at its root on the side closest to the corresponding protrusion.

[0011] Preferably, the bracket body located in the mounting groove is provided with a U-shaped process groove to form an elastic arm.

[0012] Preferably, the protrusion is located at the free end of the elastic arm.

[0013] Preferably, there are two protrusions, which are respectively located on both sides of the mounting groove.

[0014] Preferably, the top view projections of the upper limit portion and the protrusion do not overlap.

[0015] This utility model also provides an integrated busbar using the above-mentioned integrated busbar bracket.

[0016] An integrated busbar includes a support, a data acquisition component and a busbar assembly disposed on the support, wherein the support is any of the integrated busbar supports described above.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] The mounting structure includes two limiting buckles, each comprising a side limiting part, an upper limiting part, and a rear limiting part. The side limiting part is erected on the main body of the bracket, and the upper limiting part is located at the top of the side limiting part. The side limiting part, the upper limiting part, and the main body of the bracket form a side U-shaped groove, and the rear limiting part is located at the rear of the side U-shaped groove. The openings of the side U-shaped grooves of the two limiting buckles face each other to form a mounting groove. When assembling and fixing the manifold, the manifold is inserted into the mounting groove from the front until it is pushed to the rear of the mounting groove and abuts against the rear limiting parts of the two limiting buckles. Due to the limiting effect of the side and upper limiting parts of the two limiting buckles, the movement of the manifold to the sides and above is also restricted.

[0019] Existing busbars are fixed using a hot riveting process. The busbar has a through hole that mates with a hot riveting post. This invention utilizes this through hole by incorporating a protrusion at the bottom of the mounting groove. The protrusion engages with the through hole of the integrated busbar busbar. When the busbar is pushed to the rear of the mounting groove, the protrusion engages with the through hole, thus fixing the busbar in the mounting groove. This invention's mounting structure for fixing busbars is simple, easy to assemble, and requires no specialized hot riveting equipment, resulting in relatively low cost.

[0020] Compared to existing busbar fixing structures, this mounting slot has no limiting structure on the front. Therefore, as long as the busbar's vertical and horizontal dimensions match the mounting slot, it can be installed on the bracket. This is more versatile than existing mounting structures that can only install one size of busbar. One bracket can accommodate busbars of various sizes in the front and rear directions, eliminating the need to change brackets for different sizes of busbars, thus reducing costs.

[0028] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] An integrated busbar support, see Figures 1-4 The bracket includes a support body 10, and at least one side of the support body 10 is provided with a plurality of mounting structures 20. In this embodiment, the support is provided with mounting structures 20 on both sides, and one mounting structure 20 is used to fix a busbar 30.

[0031] The mounting structure 20 includes two limiting buckles 21. Each limiting buckle 21 includes a side limiting part 22, an upper limiting part 23, and a rear limiting part 24. The side limiting part 22 is erected on the support body 10, and the upper limiting part 23 is located on top of the side limiting part 22. The side limiting part 22, the upper limiting part 23, and the support body 10 form a side U-shaped groove 11. The rear limiting part 24 is located on the rear side of the side U-shaped groove 11. The openings of the side U-shaped grooves 11 of the two limiting buckles 21 are arranged facing each other to form a mounting groove 12. When assembling and fixing the manifold 30, the manifold 30 is inserted into the mounting groove 12 from the front side until it is pushed to the rear side of the mounting groove 12 and abuts against the rear limiting part 24 of the two limiting buckles 21. Due to the limiting of the side limiting part 22 and the upper limiting part 23 of the two limiting buckles 21, the movement of the manifold on both sides and above is also restricted.

[0032] The existing busbar 30 is fixed by a hot riveting process. The busbar 30 has a through hole 31 that mates with the hot riveting post. This utility model utilizes this through hole and provides a protrusion 13 at the bottom of the mounting groove 12. The protrusion 13 engages with the through hole of the integrated busbar busbar 30. When the busbar 30 is pushed to the rear side of the mounting groove 12, the protrusion 13 engages with the through hole of the busbar 30, thus fixing the busbar 30 in the mounting groove 12. The busbar 30 is fixed by the mounting structure 20 of this utility model. The structure is simple, the assembly process is simple, it is easy to operate, the assembly difficulty is low, no special hot riveting equipment is required, and the cost is relatively low.

[0033] Compared to the existing busbar 30 fixing structure, the mounting structure 20 of this embodiment has no limiting structure on the front side of the mounting groove 12. Therefore, as long as the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the busbar 30 are compatible with the mounting groove 12, it can be installed on the bracket. This is more versatile than the existing mounting structure 20, which can only install one size of busbar 30. One bracket can be used for multiple sizes of busbar 30 in the front-back direction, eliminating the need to change brackets for different sizes of busbar 30, thus reducing costs.

[0034] The height of the mounting groove 12 is adapted to the thickness of the busbar 30. It is preferable that there is an assembly gap, but the distance between the protrusion 13 and the upper limit part 23 should not be greater than the thickness of the busbar 30, so as not to affect the assembly reliability of the busbar 30.

[0035] In this embodiment, the rear limiting part 24 is connected to the rear side of the side limiting part 22 and the upper limiting part 23, so that the three limiting parts form a limiting groove, resulting in a compact structure.

[0036] In this embodiment, the bracket body 10, the side limiting part 22, the upper limiting part 23 and the rear limiting part 24 are integrally formed, which gives the entire bracket and the mounting structure 20 good strength, improves the use effect and assembly reliability.

[0037] In this embodiment, a hollow groove 14 is provided at the root of each side limiting part 22 near the corresponding protrusion 13. Thus, the bracket body 10 within the mounting groove 12 is an independent plate. When the busbar 30 is inserted into the mounting groove 12 and presses against the protrusion 13, the bracket body 10 within the mounting groove 12 will first bend downwards, allowing the busbar 30 to easily insert into the mounting groove 12. When the protrusion 13 is engaged in the through hole of the busbar 30, the bracket returns to its original position. By providing a hollow groove 14 at the root of the side limiting part 22, the elasticity of the bracket at that location is improved, facilitating the assembly of the busbar 30.

[0038] Furthermore, to facilitate the insertion of the busbar 30 into the mounting groove 12, the bracket body 10 located within the mounting groove 12 is provided with a U-shaped process groove 15 to form an elastic arm 16. Thus, when the busbar 30 presses down on the protrusion 13, the elastic arm 16 bends and deforms downward, further reducing the assembly resistance of the busbar 30. Preferably, the protrusion 13 is located at the free end of the elastic arm 16.

[0039] In this embodiment, there are two protrusions 13, which are respectively located on both sides of the mounting groove 12. The two protrusions 13 limit the two sides of the busbar 30, which can improve the assembly reliability of the busbar 30. The existing busbar 30 also has two through holes connected to the hot riveting post, which are located on both sides. The two protrusions 13 can fit perfectly with the existing structure.

[0040] In this embodiment, two limiting buckles 21 of an installation structure 20 are spaced apart, and the top view projections of the upper limiting part 23 and the protrusion 13 do not overlap. This structure is simple and also facilitates the assembly of the busbar 30.

[0043] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
