Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of energy storage connector technology, specifically an energy storage connector structure. Background Technology

[0002] An energy storage connector is a connector used in energy storage systems. The main structure of an energy storage connector includes a plug and a socket, which need to be connected together. The connection between the two is generally a push-pull connection.

[0003] However, due to the inconsistent quality of the existing plug-in connectors, it is sometimes difficult to pull them out when they are plugged in and out. At the same time, the connector body may become loose due to the force of plugging and unplugging, which cannot guarantee the normal use of the connector for a long time. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an energy storage connector structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An energy storage connector structure includes a device panel and a main body. The main body is fixed to one side of the device panel by floating screws. The front end of the main body penetrates through the device panel and is inserted to the other side of the device panel. The main body is characterized by having a terminal correspondingly inserted at the front end, a conversion copper busbar fixedly connected to the tail end of the terminal, a horizontal opening in the middle of the front end of the main body, and a power-taking copper busbar inserted into the opening. The terminal includes a contact arm at the front end, and the contact arm has two lengths, long and short, arranged sequentially to form the front contact point of the contact arm.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the surface of the conversion copper busbar has two circular holes, and nuts are connected inside the circular holes.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the terminal also includes a clamping plate at the rear end. The conversion copper busbar and the terminal are fixed by rivets inserted into the round holes on the clamping plate. Anti-reverse arms are also fixedly connected to both sides of the contact arm.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the main body is provided with a plurality of anti-reverse grooves, and one end of the anti-reverse groove is provided with an anti-reverse protrusion.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] 1. When using this utility model, the contact arms of the terminal are designed with different lengths at the front and back, and the number of long contact arms is the same as the number of short contact arms. This can reduce the insertion and extraction force when the connector is mated with the copper busbar, which is beneficial to actual operation.

[0012] 2. When this utility model is used, the anti-reverse arm is embedded in the anti-reverse groove on the upper and lower side walls of the main body. After the anti-reverse arm enters a certain depth, it is blocked by the protruding anti-reverse protrusion at one end of the anti-reverse groove and will not move backward, thus ensuring that the terminal can be firmly fixed inside the main body.

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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] In this invention, the term "exemplary" is used to mean "serving as an example, illustration, or description." Any embodiment described as "exemplary" in this invention is not necessarily to be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments. The following description is provided to enable any person skilled in the art to implement and use this invention. Details are set forth in the following description for purposes of explanation. It should be understood that those skilled in the art will recognize that this invention can be implemented without using these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and processes will not be described in detail to avoid obscuring the description of this invention with unnecessary detail. Therefore, this invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the broadest scope of the principles and features disclosed herein.

[0020] Example

[0021] Please see Figures 1-4 In this embodiment of the present invention, an energy storage connector structure includes a device panel 1 and a main body 3. The main body 3 is fixed to one side of the device panel 1 by a floating screw 2. The front end of the main body 3 penetrates the device panel 1 and is inserted to the other side of the device panel 1. The main body 3 is characterized in that a terminal 6 is inserted into the front end of the main body 3, and a conversion copper busbar 5 is fixedly connected to the tail end of the terminal 6. The front end of the terminal 6 is inserted into the interior of the main body 3, and the tail end of the terminal is exposed on the outside for connecting to the conversion copper busbar 5. A horizontal opening is provided in the middle of the head of the main body 3, and a power-taking copper busbar 4 is inserted into the opening. When the power-taking copper busbar 4 is inserted into the interior of the main body 3, the power-taking copper busbar 4 contacts the internal terminal 6, and the terminal 6 is connected to the rear conversion copper busbar 5 to form a conductive circuit.

[0022] Two round holes are opened on the surface of the conversion copper busbar 5. Nuts 51 are connected inside the round holes. When using the connector, the output copper busbar is placed at the lower end of the conversion copper busbar 5, and then the output copper busbar is clamped in the middle position by tightening the nuts 51 to ensure the stability of conductivity.

[0023] Depend on Figure 4 As can be seen, terminal 6 includes a front contact arm 61. The contact arm 61 has two lengths, long and short, arranged in sequence to form the front contact of the contact arm 61. The contact arm 61 of terminal 6 is designed with different lengths at the front and back, and the number of long contact arms 61 is the same as the number of short contact arms. This can reduce the insertion and extraction force when the connector is mated with the copper busbar, which is beneficial to actual operation.

[0024] Terminal 6 also includes a rear clamping plate 62, which has multiple round holes. The conversion copper busbar 5 and terminal 6 are fixed by rivets 52 being driven into the round holes on the clamping plate 62. Anti-reverse arms 63 are also fixedly connected to both sides of the contact arm 61.

[0025] The main body 3 has multiple anti-retraction grooves 31 inside. One end of the anti-retraction groove 31 is provided with an anti-retraction protrusion 32. When the terminal 6 and the conversion copper busbar 5 are riveted together and inserted into the main body 3, the anti-retraction arm 63 is embedded in the anti-retraction groove 31 on the upper and lower side walls of the main body. After the anti-retraction arm 63 enters a certain depth, it is blocked by the anti-retraction protrusion 32 at one end of the anti-retraction groove 31 and will not move backward, thus ensuring that the terminal 6 can be firmly fixed inside the main body 3.

[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
