Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vehicle battery technology, and in particular relates to a power interface connector, a vehicle battery device, and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Power connectors are widely used in electronics, information, communication, optoelectronics, and other fields. They have power terminals that act as positive and negative terminals, allowing them to supply voltage to electronic products. Automotive high-voltage power interface connectors are used to connect vehicle battery packs to charging ports, and electronic controls to batteries. These connectors consist of plug and socket ends; electrical transmission is achieved through the engagement of the plug and socket, while maintaining the stability of this electrical transmission.

[0003] The power interface connector includes a housing and power terminals and signal terminals mounted within the housing. A mounting plate is provided on the housing, allowing it to be mounted onto a vehicle battery pack. In existing power interface connectors, the two ends of the power terminals have the same connection direction; one end connects to the vehicle battery pack, and the other end is mounted within the housing. Due to the miniaturization requirements of vehicle battery packs, other components of the vehicle battery unit can interfere with the installation of existing power interface connectors, resulting in limited installation space. Therefore, a new type of power interface connector is needed that can be installed in confined spaces. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a power interface connector, a vehicle battery device, and a vehicle, addressing the issue that existing power interface connectors are insufficient to accommodate installation in confined spaces.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model provides a power interface connector, comprising a housing, signal terminals, and two power terminals. The housing is mounted on a mounting plate, allowing it to be mounted on a vehicle battery pack. The first end of each power terminal is electrically connected to the vehicle battery pack, and the second end of each power terminal is mounted within the housing by rotating a preset angle around its extension direction. The housing rotates a preset angle relative to the mounting plate along with the second end of the power terminal.

[0006] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:

[0007] Optionally, it further includes a lower insulating mounting block and two upper insulating mounting blocks, wherein the upper insulating mounting blocks are mounted on the lower insulating mounting block and are installed inside the housing, wherein the second end of one of the power terminals passes through the lower insulating mounting block and one of the upper insulating mounting blocks in sequence, and the second end of the other power terminal passes through the lower insulating mounting block and the other upper insulating mounting block in sequence, and the upper insulating mounting block rotates relative to the lower insulating mounting block by a preset angle with the second end of the power terminal.

[0008] Optionally, two mounting bases are installed inside the housing, with one upper insulating mounting block mounted on one of the mounting bases and the other upper insulating mounting block mounted on the other mounting base.

[0009] Optionally, a signal mounting block is mounted on the lower insulating mounting block, the signal terminal is mounted on the signal mounting block, and the signal terminal can extend into the housing.

[0010] Optionally, the signal mounting block is located between the two upper insulating mounting blocks.

[0011] Optionally, a sealing groove is provided on the lower surface of the mounting plate, and a sealing ring is installed in the sealing groove.

[0012] Optionally, the sealing ring is a rubber sealing ring.

[0013] Optionally, the mounting plate has multiple mounting holes for mounting the mounting plate to the vehicle body by passing bolts through the holes.

[0014] On the other hand, this utility model embodiment provides a vehicle battery device, including a vehicle battery pack and a power interface connector as described above, wherein the first end of the power terminal is electrically connected to the vehicle battery pack, and the outer casing is mounted on the vehicle battery pack via the mounting plate.

[0015] In another aspect, this utility model provides a vehicle, including a vehicle frame and a vehicle battery device as described above, wherein the vehicle battery device is mounted on the vehicle frame.

[0016] This utility model provides a power interface connector, a vehicle battery device, and a vehicle. Compared with the prior art, it has at least the following advantages: During installation, the housing is mounted on the vehicle battery pack via a mounting plate. The first end of the power terminal is electrically connected to the vehicle battery pack, and the second end of the power terminal is mounted inside the housing by rotating it around its extension direction by a preset angle. The housing rotates relative to the mounting plate by the same preset angle as the second end of the power terminal. The connection angle between the first end of the power terminal and the vehicle battery pack remains unchanged. The second end of the power terminal is mounted inside the housing by rotating it around its extension direction by a preset angle, and the housing rotates relative to the mounting plate by the same preset angle as the second end of the power terminal. This prevents other components of the vehicle battery device from affecting the installation of the power interface connector during connection, allowing the power interface connector to be installed in confined spaces.
