[0024] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the utility model more obvious and easy to understand, the utility model will be further described in detail below by combining with the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0025] A direct-sampling type integrated busbar convenient for repair, see Figures 1-2 , comprising a support 100, a flexible printed circuit board 200 arranged on the support 100, a plurality of busbars 300 and a plurality of screws 400. Among them, the flexible printed circuit board 200 comprises a base material 210, a positive insulating protective film and a back insulating protective film, the base material 210 comprises an integrally formed base material body 220 and a plurality of collection branches 230, the free end of each collection branch 230 is a collection end 240, the collection end 240 is provided with a first through hole 250, each busbar 300 is provided with a threaded hole 310, one screw 400 passes through one first through hole 250 and is screwed to the corresponding threaded hole 310, so that the flexible printed circuit board 200 can be fixed to the busbar 300. After the screw 400 is locked, the head of the screw 400 abuts against the collection end 240, and the collection end 240 can be tightly attached to the busbar 300, which ensures the electrical connection effect of the two and improves the product yield. By fixing the flexible printed circuit board 200 and the busbar 300 through the screw 400, the structure is simple, the process difficulty is low, and the assembly is convenient. At the same time, when maintenance is needed, only the screw 400 needs to be unscrewed, which is convenient for repair and avoids the problem that the repair is difficult or even impossible due to the use of welding in the prior art. The base material 210 is an integrally formed base material body 220 and a plurality of collection branches 230, and the free end of each collection branch 230 is a collection end 240 connected with the busbar 300. In this way, only the collection end 240 needs to be welded with the busbar 300, and the traditional nickel sheet is cancelled. Compared with the traditional nickel sheet collection structure, the process of connecting the nickel sheet with the flexible printed circuit board 200 is reduced, the process difficulty is reduced, the problem of poor welding that may occur in the welding process is avoided, and the reliability and production efficiency of the battery module are improved.
[0026] The positive and negative insulation protective films (not shown in the figure) are wrapped around the substrate 210, and are wrapped around the positive side of the substrate 210 by using the existing film wrapping process. This is the prior art, and will not be described here.
[0027] In this embodiment, the ratio of the cross-sectional area of the first through hole 250 to the cross-sectional area of the collection end 240 is 0.8-0.9, so that the strength of the collection end 240 can be ensured, and the collection end 240 also has the best collection effect.
[0028] In this embodiment, a gasket (not shown in the figure) is sleeved on the screw 400 above the collection end 240. The gasket is provided with a second through hole in the middle position for the screw 400 to pass through. The cross-sectional area of the gasket is greater than the cross-sectional area of the head of the screw 400. During assembly, the gasket is first sleeved on the screw 400, and then the screw 400 passes through the first through hole 250 until it is screwed with the threaded hole 310. After assembly is completed, the collection end 240 is pressed by the gasket. The cross-sectional area of the gasket is configured to be greater than the cross-sectional area of the head of the screw 400, so that the gasket can completely press the collection end 240, and the collection end 240 can fully contact the busbar 300, which can improve the electrical connection effect between the collection end 240 and the busbar 300.
[0029] Preferably, the material of the gasket is an insulating material, such as hard plastic, so that the top of the collection end 240 can be insulated and protected, which improves the safety of use and also provides dust protection.
[0030] In this embodiment, the positive insulation protective film completely wraps the top surface of the substrate 210, which can further insulate and protect the top surface of the collection end 240, further improving the safety of use. The negative insulation protective film wraps the bottom surface of the substrate 210 and exposes the bottom surface of the collection end 240, so that it can contact the busbar 300 to achieve electrical connection.
[0031] In this embodiment, the bracket 100 is provided with a plurality of mounting grooves 110. The inner side wall of each mounting groove 110 is provided with a buckle 120. One busbar 300 is installed in one mounting groove 110 and is fixed by the buckle 120. The busbar 300 is fixed by the buckle 120. When maintenance is needed, the busbar 300 can be removed from the mounting groove 110. Compared with the connection mode of fixing the busbar 300 by the hot riveting process in the prior art, the maintenance is more convenient.
[0032] The bracket 100 is provided with a third through hole 140 at both sides of the root position of the buckle 120, which can improve the elastic deformation ability of the buckle 120, and is more convenient for assembly and disassembly of the busbar 300.
[0033] In the embodiment, the support 100 is provided with a plurality of positioning columns 130, and the flexible printed circuit board 200 is provided with a plurality of fourth through holes 260 in position limiting cooperation with the plurality of positioning columns 130, so that the flexible printed circuit board 200 can be positioned on the support 100 through the plurality of positioning columns 130.
