[0029] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this utility model provides a direct-insertion connection structure for electric vehicles, including a housing 100, a controller 101, a battery 102, and a direct-insertion mechanism; the direct-insertion mechanism is provided on the top wall of the housing 100 and is connected to the body of the electric vehicle; the controller 101 and the battery 102 are located below the direct-insertion mechanism; the direct-insertion mechanism is provided with a male connector, and the controller 101 and the battery 102 are respectively provided with female connectors, which can be inserted and mated.

[0030] In this embodiment, the direct-connection structure includes a housing 100, a controller 101, a battery 102, and a direct-connection mechanism. The direct-connection mechanism, the controller 101, and the battery 102 are all located inside the housing 100 and are arranged relative to each other. The controller 101, the battery 102, and the direct-connection mechanism are connected by plugging in the male connector on the direct-connection mechanism and the female connector on the controller 101 and the battery 102. The direct-connection mechanism is then connected to the electric vehicle body. This avoids the mess caused by too many wires inside the housing 100, and also reduces the space occupied inside the housing 100. The absence of wires inside the housing 100 reduces safety hazards during use and also lowers production costs.

[0031] According to one embodiment provided by this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the direct insertion mechanism includes a junction box 103, which is located in the housing 100 and can be directly connected to the electric vehicle body via wires.

[0032] In this embodiment, the direct insertion mechanism includes a junction box 103, which is directly disposed inside the housing 100. Optionally, the junction box 103 can be directly connected to the body of the electric vehicle via wires. That is, the junction box 103 can be connected to various components on the electric vehicle body via wires, such as the motor, instrument panel, headlights, and horn.

[0033] According to one embodiment provided by this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the junction box 103 has a male connector on the side facing the controller 101 and the battery 102.

[0034] In this embodiment, preferably, a male connector is provided on the side of the junction box 103 facing the controller 101 and the battery 102. The male connector is connected by plugging and engaging with the female connectors provided on the controller 101 and the battery 102. With the junction box 103 provided above, when the controller 101 and the battery 102 are damaged, only the controller 101 and the battery 102 need to be removed for repair or replacement, which is very simple and does not require the removal of other components.

[0035] The above setup allows for better organization, management, and maintenance of each component. The controller 101, battery 102, and junction box 103 are independent yet interconnected. Each component has a clear function and responsibility. During maintenance and modification, the part that needs to be modified can be located more precisely without affecting the normal operation of other components.

[0036] According to one embodiment provided by this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the housing 100 includes a bottom cover 104, a controller 101 and a battery 102 fixed to the bottom cover 104.

[0037] In this embodiment, a bottom cover 104 is provided at the bottom of the housing 100. The controller 101 and the battery 102 are directly fixed on the upper surface of the bottom cover 104, which facilitates the direct insertion and connection of the controller 101, the battery 102 and the junction box 103.

[0038] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the male connector is a pin-type male connector, and the female connector is a pin-type female connector.

[0039] In this embodiment, compared with ordinary connection, the use of male and female connectors can ensure high-quality connection. At the same time, the pressing shape and size of various connectors can be precisely matched with the usage scenarios inside the housing 100, which can effectively avoid the excessive and messy wires inside the housing 100 caused by using plug wires for connection.

[0040] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the male connector of the pin is integrally formed with the junction box 103.

[0041] Furthermore, the female connector is integrally formed with the controller 101 and the battery 102 respectively.

[0042] In this embodiment, when the junction box 103, controller 101 and battery 102 are injection molded with plastic shells, the male connector is integrally formed with the junction box 103, and the female connector is integrally formed with the controller 101 and battery 102 respectively.

[0043] According to one embodiment provided by this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the upper surface of the housing 100 is connected to the vehicle body.

[0044] In this embodiment, the plug-in connection structure is directly connected to the vehicle body through the upper surface of the housing 100, so that the plug-in connection structure can be connected to components such as motors, instruments, headlights and horns by traditional wires outside the housing 100.

[0045] According to one embodiment provided by this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the direct insertion mechanism also includes a connecting part 105, which is provided on the upper surface of the end of the housing 100 and is used to connect to the vehicle body.

[0046] In this embodiment, preferably, the connecting portion 105 provided on the upper surface of the end of the housing 100 is detachably connected to the vehicle body and is fixed by using bolts.

[0047] This utility model also provides an electric vehicle, including the above-described direct-plug connection structure.

[0048] In this embodiment, the electric vehicle using the direct-plug connection structure can effectively solve the problem of excessive and messy wiring inside the electric vehicle body, reduce the space occupied inside the vehicle body, thereby reducing safety hazards, facilitating vehicle assembly, and also facilitating later maintenance and repair, improving work efficiency during production. The absence of wiring inside the vehicle body saves costs, contributes to energy conservation and environmental protection, and improves the space utilization rate inside the vehicle body, facilitating lightweight design.

[0049] Optionally, the housing 100 of the direct-connection structure can be directly replaced by the body of an electric vehicle. Other principles are consistent with the description of the direct-connection structure above, so they will not be repeated here.

[0050] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
