Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Reference Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a solderless lithium battery connector, comprising: a connector component 1 and a protective component 2.

[0029] Specifically, the assembly includes a connecting component 1 and a protective component 2. The connecting component 1 includes a lithium battery body 11, which is provided with a negative electrode connecting block 12 and a positive electrode connecting block 13. The connecting component 1 also includes a first clamping ring 14, one end of which is connected to a first fixing piece 15, and the first fixing piece 15 is connected to a bolt 16. One end of the bolt 16 is connected to a nut 17. The end of the first clamping ring 14 away from the first fixing piece 15 is connected to a connecting piece 18, and the end of the connecting piece 18 away from the first clamping ring 14 is connected to a second clamping ring 19. The end of the second clamping ring 19 away from the connecting piece 18 is connected to a second fixing piece 110. The protective component 2 is located below the connecting component 1 and includes a protective mounting shell 21. The inner side of the protective mounting shell 21 is provided with a buffer pad 22, and the inner side of the buffer pad 22 is provided with a spacer pad 23.

[0030] In this embodiment, the connecting component 1 and the protective component 2 constitute a solderless lithium battery connector 18 according to this application, which realizes a stable connection of the lithium battery and provides sufficient protection for the lithium battery.

[0031] In this embodiment, the lithium battery involved is a rechargeable battery that primarily relies on the movement of lithium ions between the positive and negative electrodes to function. During charging and discharging, Li+ ions repeatedly insert and extract between the two electrodes: during charging, Li+ ions extract from the positive electrode, pass through the electrolyte, and insert into the negative electrode, leaving the negative electrode in a lithium-rich state; the reverse occurs during discharging. Lithium-ion battery discharge is achieved through a chemical redox reaction; the gain and loss of ions creates a voltage, resulting in a charge on the battery.

[0032] In this embodiment, the first clamping ring 14, the first fixing piece 15, the connecting piece 18, the second clamping ring 19, and the second fixing piece 110 are made of copper foil, which effectively increases the conductivity between lithium batteries and can meet the requirements of high current discharge.

[0033] It should be noted that the buffer pad 22 is made of rubber, and the spacer pad 23 is a silicone heat insulation pad that effectively prevents heat transfer and electrical breakdown.

[0034] Specifically, two sets of first clamping ring plates 14 are symmetrically arranged, and the positive electrode connecting block 13 is fitted between the two sets of first clamping ring plates 14. Simultaneously, two sets of second clamping ring plates 19 are symmetrically arranged, and the negative electrode connecting block 12 is fitted between the two sets of second clamping ring plates 19. Two sets of first fixing plates 15 are connected to bolts 16 via nuts 17, and the nuts 17 and bolts 16 are threaded together. Three sets of bolts 16 and nuts 17 are respectively arranged on the first fixing plates 15 and connecting plates 18. On the second fixing piece 110, a connecting piece 18 is disposed between the second clamping ring piece 19 and the first clamping ring piece 14 to connect the first clamping ring piece 14 and the second clamping ring piece 19. The connecting piece 18 is provided in two sets and is symmetrically arranged and connected by bolts 16 and nuts 17. The buffer pad 22 is disposed on the inner side of the protective mounting shell 21, and the lithium battery body 11 is fitted with the buffer pad 22. The lithium battery body 11 is provided in multiple sets, and the spacer pad 23 is provided in multiple sets and is evenly distributed between the multiple sets of lithium battery bodies 11.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, two sets of first clamping ring plates 14 and two sets of second clamping ring plates 19 are placed on both sides of the positive electrode connecting block 13 and the negative electrode connecting block 12, respectively, and the first fixing plate 15, the connecting plate 18 and the second fixing plate 110 are fixed by bolts 16 and nuts 17.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, multiple sets of lithium battery bodies 11 are placed inside the buffer pad 22 and between the spacer pad 23 to protect the multiple sets of lithium battery bodies 11.

[0037] In use, multiple sets of lithium battery bodies 11 are first placed inside the buffer pad 22 and between the spacer pad 23 to protect the multiple sets of lithium battery bodies 11. Two sets of first clamping rings 14 and two sets of second clamping rings 19 are placed on both sides of the positive electrode connecting block 13 and the negative electrode connecting block 12, respectively. The first fixing plate 15, the connecting plate 18 and the second fixing plate 110 are fixed by bolts 16 and nuts 17.

[0038] The present invention provides a weld-free lithium battery connector 18 that achieves close contact between the connector 18 and the lithium battery, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of current transmission, effectively improving the safety and stability of the battery pack, and effectively reducing the impact and vibration that the lithium battery may be subjected to during transportation, installation and use. The setting of the buffer pad 22 can significantly reduce this risk.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
