[0029] For example Figure 2As shown, the high-voltage connector is used for circuit connection of a new energy vehicle inverter, the vehicle-mounted inverter (power converter, power inverter) is a kind of device capable of converting DC 12V direct current into AC 220V alternating current same as the mains for general electrical appliances, and is a kind of convenient power converter for vehicle, the high-voltage connector comprises a plastic-coated support 10, a copper bar assembly arranged on the plastic-coated support 10, at least one fuse 30 and a plurality of blind hole nuts 40, the plastic-coated support 10 is connected to the copper bar assembly, and only the connection part of the copper bar assembly is exposed; the copper bar assembly comprises a main positive copper bar 21, a main negative copper bar 22, at least one positive branch copper bar 23, a positive branch copper bar connecting plate 24 and a negative branch copper bar 25, the main positive copper bar 21 and the main negative copper bar 22 are both sheet-shaped curved copper sheets, the main positive copper bar 21 and the main negative copper bar 22 exposed outside the plastic-coated support 10 are in parallel; the positive branch copper bar connecting plate 24 is welded to the main positive copper bar 21, and the positive branch copper bar connecting plate 24 is used to form a branch, in the embodiment of the application, two connecting holes are formed on the positive branch copper bar connecting plate 24, and the two connecting holes are one-to-two sheet materials, where the so-called one-to-two refers to a case that one power supply is connected to two branch power supplies at the same time.
[0030] In addition, one end of the at least one fuse 30 is connected to the positive branch copper bar connecting plate 24 by locking the blind hole nut 40 with a screw, and the other end of the at least one fuse 30 is connected to the at least one positive branch copper bar 23 by locking the blind hole nut 40 with a screw, in the embodiment of the application, the number of the fuses 30 corresponds to the number of the connecting holes of the positive branch copper bar connecting plate 24, which is two, that is, two connecting holes are formed on the positive branch copper bar connecting plate 24, and a connecting hole is also formed on the connecting end of the fuse 30, in the plastic injection process, the blind hole nut 40 is also injected in the plastic-coated support 10, the upper end of the blind hole nut 40 is fixedly connected to the connecting hole of the positive branch copper bar connecting plate 24, and in addition, the positive branch copper bar 23 connected to the connecting hole of the fuse 30 is also fixedly connected to a blind hole nut 40; the negative branch copper bar 25 is welded to the main negative copper bar 22, and the negative branch copper bar 25 is used to form a branch, in the embodiment of the application, two connecting holes are formed on the negative branch copper bar 25, and the two connecting holes are one-to-two sheet materials.
[0031] Figure 2In the embodiment of the present application, the number of the blind hole nuts 40 is eight, in addition to the above-mentioned, four of which are arranged in the four connecting holes connected with the two fuse 30, and the other four are arranged below the connecting holes of the two positive branch copper bars 23 and the two negative branch copper bars 25 exposed outside the plastic-encapsulated support 10, respectively, to facilitate the high-voltage connector to connect other components on the vehicle. The fuse 30 acts as a kind of fuse, which is a current protector, and its working principle is based on the ampere-second characteristic, that is, when the current exceeds the specified value for a period of time, the fuse melts the fuse body with its own heat, thereby breaking the circuit; this design enables the fuse to react quickly when the current in the circuit is too large, protecting electrical equipment from damage.

In a direct current circuit environment, the first capacitor 28 and the second capacitor 29 actually play the role of an open circuit, because the frequency of direct current is zero, which causes the first capacitor 28 and the second capacitor 29 to be unable to pass current, thereby forming a disconnected point in the circuit, the first capacitor 28 and the second capacitor 29 as passive elements for storing charge and energy, their energy storage characteristics cannot be exerted under direct current conditions, but they show a state of complete isolation from the power supply, therefore, we can regard the first capacitor 28 and the second capacitor 29 in the direct current circuit as an open circuit element, which is only used for storing charge, and will not conduct current in the circuit.
