[0003] Currently, to maximize energy density per unit volume, battery packs on the market often occupy almost the entire space with battery cells. However, to achieve more functions, the remaining limited space needs to accommodate as many components as possible. These components are scattered throughout the various gaps and connection points within the battery pack, resulting in a complex internal structure, difficulties in production and assembly, and an increased risk of internal battery pack failures, as illustrated in patent CN202320510937.8. Therefore, the battery distribution box provided by this utility model is of great significance in addressing these problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] This utility model discloses a battery distribution box, including a quick-connect connector, a shunt, a top cover, a copper busbar, a relay, a fuse, and a base. The top cover is installed on the top of the base. The quick-connect connector and the relay are both fixed to the base by bolts. The copper busbar is connected to the load end of the relay. The shunt and the fuse are both connected to the copper busbar and fixed by bolts.

[0007] Furthermore, the upper cover has an internal hollow structure, and its length and width are equal to the length and width of the base, respectively.

[0008] Furthermore, the base is an injection-molded part, and a nut is embedded in it during the injection molding process.

[0009] The present invention has the following advantages over the prior art:

[0010] (1) When using the battery distribution box of this utility model, each electrical component and external connection point can be arranged in a concentrated manner, thereby improving the integration of the distribution box, reducing the complexity of assembly, and reducing the risk of failure.

The positive power supply starts from the battery input and is split into two paths through the main circuit fuse: one path goes to the heating fuse, and the other path goes through the main positive relay to the positive terminals of the fast charging input and discharge output. The negative power supply starts from the battery input and is split into two paths through the shunt 2: one path goes to the heating output, and the other path goes through the main negative relay to the negative terminals of the fast charging input and discharge output. The perforated top cover 3 allows for centralized arrangement of all electrical components and external connection points, thereby improving the integration of the distribution box, reducing assembly complexity, and minimizing the risk of failure. The relay 5 controls the power supply switching, and the fuse 6 protects the equipment from being burned by abnormal current.
