[0045] Specifically, the copper bar assembly 70 is made of T2 red copper, and the first connecting head 71 and the second connecting head 73 of the fast charging copper bar 74 are made of soft copper. The connecting rod 72 is made of hard aluminum and is lap-welded (for example, Figure 4The two As are both lap joints) and are formed; The fast charging copper bar 74 passes from above the first module assembly 20 and the second module assembly 30, greatly saving the internal space and improving the utilization rate of the internal space of the battery pack; The first connecting head 71 and the second connecting head 73 are made of soft copper, and the connecting rod 72 is made of hard aluminum, which reduces the production cost (the price is lower than that of the first connecting head 71, the connecting rod 72 and the second connecting head 73 made of copper); At the same time, compared with the way that the first connecting head 71, the connecting rod 72 and the second connecting head 73 are all made of aluminum, the space can be saved (because the first connecting head 71, the connecting rod 72 and the second connecting head 73 are all made of aluminum, the first connecting head 71 and the second connecting head 73 need to be made larger, because if they are made smaller, due to the large fast charging current and the large resistance of aluminum, the first connecting head 71 and the second connecting head 73 will generate serious heat during fast charging, and even fire, so the first connecting head 71 and the second connecting head 73 need to be made larger, which causes the internal space of the battery pack to need to be increased).

[0046] Further, the first connecting head 71 and the second connecting head 73 are made of copper, and the connecting rod 72 is made of aluminum; The first connecting head 71 and the second connecting head 73 are respectively lap welded with both ends of the connecting rod 72.

[0049] Reference Figure 5 The liquid cooling plate assembly 40 includes a flat plate 41 and a flow channel plate 42, and the upper surface of the flow channel plate 42 is provided with a groove; The flat plate 41 is installed on the upper surface of the flow channel plate 42. Specifically, the flow channel is formed between the flat plate 41 and the groove of the flow channel plate 42, and the flow channel is respectively communicated with the water inlet and the water outlet on the box assembly 50 through the pipeline. The flat plate 41 and the flow channel plate 42 are welded together by brazing to form a liquid cooling plate assembly 40 with flow channels, and the liquid cooling plate assembly 40 fully covers one side of the cells in each module (the first module assembly 20 and the second module assembly 30). The liquid cooling plate assembly 40 is respectively communicated with the water inlet and the water outlet on the box assembly 50 through the pipeline, which greatly reduces the number of pipelines used, achieves the purpose of reducing cost and improving space utilization.

[0050] Specifically, the upper surface of the flat plate 41 is covered with a heat-conducting structural adhesive, which is used to bond the first module assembly 20 and the second module assembly 30, thereby improving the contact between the first module assembly 20, the second module assembly 30 and the flat plate 41, and further improving the heat conductivity. The bottom guard plate 60, the liquid cooling plate assembly 40 and the box frame 505 are connected by the bolts 511 (see Figure 3 ), thereby improving the strength of the entire battery pack.

[0051] Further, the liquid cooling plate assembly 40 and the bottom guard plate 60 are installed with the foam 80.
