Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0046] The following is for reference. Figures 1-10The contact structure 1 according to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention is described. It is worth noting that one side of the contact structure 1 of this application is connected to the busbar 200, and the other side is in contact with an electrical component, thereby forming a continuous circuit path.
[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, the contact structure 1 includes: a cap body 11 and a contact post 12.
[0048] Optionally, the cap 11 and the contact post 12 can be made of the same or different materials. In some technical solutions, the cap 11 is made of aluminum, and the contact post 12 is made of copper. In some other optional embodiments, both the cap 11 and the contact post 12 are made of copper. For ease of explanation, the following description will use the example of the cap 11 and the contact post 12 being made of different materials, and will not be repeated hereafter.
[0049] Continue reading Figure 1 The cap body 11 is provided with a first threaded connection part 111 and a plug-in part 112. The plug-in part 112 is used to connect with the busbar 200. The two opposite ends of the contact post 12 are a second threaded connection part 122 and a stationary contact surface 124, respectively. The stationary contact surface 124 is used to make contact with the moving contact 5 of the electrical component to conduct electricity.
[0050] The first threaded connection 111 and the second threaded connection 122 are connected to achieve a stable connection between the cap 11 and the contact post 12, effectively reducing the risk of loosening due to vibration or external stress and improving the reliability of the contact structure 1. The threaded connection not only ensures an effective mechanical connection between the cap 11 and the contact post 12, but also increases the conductive contact area between them, thereby enhancing the point contact performance of the contact structure 1 and improving current transmission efficiency.
[0051] In this part, one of the first threaded connection part 111 and the second threaded connection part 122 is a threaded hole, and the other is a stud that fits into the threaded hole.
[0052] First, the threaded engagement between the threaded hole and the stud simplifies the installation process; simply screwing the stud into the threaded hole achieves a secure connection between the cap 11 and the contact post 12.
[0053] Secondly, when the cap body 11 and the contact post 12 are made of different materials, the threaded connection can reduce or even avoid loosening or poor contact caused by thermal expansion and contraction, thereby improving the safety and stability of the electrical connection.
[0054] Furthermore, the threaded connection structure has more contact points, which helps to increase the actual conductive contact area between the cap 11 and the contact post 12, reducing contact resistance. This not only enhances the efficiency and stability of current transmission between the cap 11 and the contact post 12, but also further ensures the safety and reliability of the electrical connection, reducing heat accumulation and potential arcing risks caused by poor contact.
[0055] In addition, threaded connections can be easily disassembled and reinstalled, facilitating maintenance and repair.
[0056] In some specific technical solutions, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first threaded connection portion 111 of the cap body 11 is a threaded hole, and the second threaded connection portion 122 of the contact post 12 is a stud. During assembly, the stud portion of the contact post 12 is screwed into the threaded hole of the cap body 11, and the two are firmly connected by rotating and tightening, which ensures both the stability of the mechanical connection and the continuity and stability of the current conduction path.
[0057] In some alternative technical solutions, the first threaded connection portion 111 of the cap body 11 is a stud, and the second threaded connection portion 122 of the contact post 12 is a threaded hole. This configuration can also achieve a reliable mechanical connection between the cap body 11 and the contact post 12, ensuring the continuity and stability of the current conduction path.
[0058] According to some optional embodiments of this utility model, the threaded hole is a blind hole, and the end face of the stud contacts the bottom surface of the threaded hole. This creates an additional planar contact area between the end face of the stud and the bottom surface of the threaded hole, thereby increasing the conductive contact area between the cap 11 and the contact post 12, which facilitates increased current flow and further enhances the stability and reliability of the conductive path. Simultaneously, by increasing the contact area, it also helps to reduce the contact resistance between the cap 11 and the contact post 12, ensuring efficient and safe current transmission.
[0059] In some alternative embodiments, see Figure 1 The outer periphery of the contact post 12 is provided with a boss 126, which is used to connect the support member 14 of the contact head structure 1.
[0060] The boss 126 is used to connect the support member 14, providing additional mechanical support for the contact post 12. This design significantly improves the stability of the contact post 12 when it is subjected to external forces such as impact or vibration, thus ensuring a more robust and reliable connection between it and the cap 11. By enhancing the structural stability, this arrangement effectively prevents loosening or displacement caused by external forces, ensuring the durability and safety of the electrical connection. The annular boss 126 allows the contact post 12 to distribute stress evenly across its contact surface when subjected to external forces (such as vibration or impact), preventing stress concentration at a single point and reducing the risk of localized deformation or damage. This uniform stress distribution extends the service life of the contact post 12, thereby improving the reliability of the contact structure 1.
[0061] Optionally, the support member 14 is an insulating member. On the one hand, the insulating support member 14 can effectively prevent current leakage and ensure electrical safety; on the other hand, the insulating support member 14 can reduce unnecessary short-circuit risks, ensure the normal operation of the contact structure 1, and improve the reliability of the contact structure 1.
[0062] Alternatively, the support component 14 can be made of plastic or ceramic.
[0063] When the support member 14 is made of plastic, it offers advantages in terms of good insulation and lightweight design. When the support member 14 is made of ceramic, it provides higher heat resistance and mechanical strength. Both materials effectively isolate electrical paths, prevent short circuits, and provide stable support for the contact post 12.
[0064] According to some alternative embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the opposite two surfaces of the boss 126 are a first platform 1261 and a second platform 1262, respectively. The first platform 1261 contacts the cap 11, forming an additional contact area to ensure that current can pass through efficiently and stably. By increasing the contact area, the contact resistance can also be effectively reduced, thus reducing energy loss and heat generation caused by poor contact. In addition, the larger contact area also helps to distribute the pressure applied at the connection, improving the connection reliability between the contact post 12 and the boss 126, thereby extending the service life of the contact structure 1.
[0065] The second platform 1262 is provided with a slot 12621 for cushioning. Specifically, the slot 12621 can alleviate the stress generated during the connection between the support member 14 and the contact post 12. Especially when the support member 14 and the contact post 12 are connected by welding, the slot 12621 can absorb the thermal and mechanical stress generated during welding, reduce the risk of deformation and cracking, and improve the stability and reliability of the overall structure.
[0066] In some specific embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the connector 112 includes a post 1121. By providing the post 1121, the connection area between the cap 11 and the busbar 200 is increased, improving the mechanical stability of the system. Simultaneously, the larger contact surface effectively disperses the stress applied at the connection point, reducing the risk of the cap 11 loosening or falling off. Furthermore, it correspondingly increases the conductive contact area, reduces contact resistance, making current transmission more efficient and stable, and reducing energy loss and heat generation. This design enhances the safety and reliability of the electrical connection and improves the overall system performance and durability. Through optimized connection structure, the post 1121 ensures long-term stable operation of the equipment under various operating conditions.
[0067] Alternatively, in this application, the shape and location of the insertion post 1121 can be very flexible, and its shape includes, but is not limited to, cylindrical, flat, etc. The insertion post 1121 can be located on the largest surface of the cap 11; it can also be located on the adjacent surface of the largest surface to adapt to the docking requirements of different devices.
[0068] More specifically, in combination Figure 4 The connector 112 further includes a barb 1122 disposed on at least one side of the plug 1121. The barb 1122 is elastically deformable when inserted into the socket of the busbar 200. After full insertion, the barb 1122 returns to its original shape and firmly locks into the internal structure of the socket, preventing the plug 1121 from accidentally falling out and enhancing the stability and reliability of the connection. Therefore, by setting the barb 1122 structure, not only is a mechanical locking function added, but additional contact points are also formed to increase the conductive contact area, further reducing contact resistance and ensuring stable and efficient current transmission. When the contact structure 1 is used in scenarios with frequent vibration, the barb 1122 can prevent loosening and improve the reliability of the electrical connection.
[0069] In some technical solutions, a barb 1122 is provided on one side of the insert 1121. In other technical solutions, such as Figure 4 As shown, barbs 1122 are provided on both sides of the insert post 1121.
[0070] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, combined with Figures 4-7 The cap body 11 is plate-shaped, and a first threaded connection part 111 is provided on one of the two largest surfaces of the cap body 11, and a plug-in part 112 is provided on the adjacent side of the largest surface.
[0071] In the above technical solution, a first threaded connection portion 111 is provided on a large surface of the cap body 11 for a secure threaded connection with the contact post 12. This arrangement ensures a tight connection between the cap body 11 and the contact post 12, providing sufficient conductive contact area to guarantee efficient current transmission.
[0072] Meanwhile, the connector 112 is located on the side adjacent to the largest surface where the first threaded connection 111 is located. This arrangement helps optimize space utilization and facilitates installation and maintenance. In particular, when it is necessary to quickly insert the cap 11 into the busbar 200 or other electrical components, the side-mounted connector 112 provides a more convenient operating angle and reduces installation difficulty.
[0073] Further, optionally, combined Figures 3-10 The cap body 11 is a square or round piece.
[0074] like Figures 3-6 As shown, when the cap body 11 is a square piece, at least two sides form surface contact with the busbar 200.
[0075] like Figures 7-10 As shown, when the cap body 11 is a circular piece, the outer peripheral surface of the cap body 11 is arc-shaped, and the outer peripheral surface of the arc-shaped piece forms a surface contact with the busbar 200.
[0076] According to a second aspect embodiment of the present invention, the electrical component 100 includes at least one of a relay and a fuse. For example, the electrical component 100 may include a relay. Alternatively, the electrical component 100 may include a fuse.
[0077] like Figure 2 As shown, the electrical component 100 includes: a housing 3, a moving contact 5, and a contact structure 1. The moving contact 5 is disposed inside the housing 3. According to the contact structure 1 of the first aspect of the present invention, the contact post 12 is disposed on the housing 3, one end of the contact having a stationary contact surface 124 is located inside the housing 3 and is disposed opposite to the moving contact 5, and the cap 11 is located outside the housing 3.
[0078] The contact post 12 contacts and separates from the moving contact 5 through its stationary contact surface 124 to complete the on / off control of the current.
[0079] The cap 11 is located outside the housing 3. This facilitates connection with the busbar 200.
[0080] The electrical component 100 of this application embodiment improves the reliability and stability of the electrical connection by utilizing the improved contact structure 1.
[0081] In some alternative embodiments, the electrical component 100 further includes a coil disposed within the housing 3. An insulating layer is provided at the coil. The insulating layer may be a resin layer. The insulating layer prevents electromagnetic noise generated by the coil during operation from propagating outwards, thereby reducing noise interference to the surrounding environment caused by the operation of the electrical component 100.
[0082] Please combine Figures 3-10According to a third aspect embodiment of the present invention, a battery power distribution unit 1000 includes an electrical component 100 and a busbar 200. The busbar 200 is provided with a mating portion 201 that mates with a connector 112.
[0083] The battery power distribution unit 1000 of this application embodiment improves the reliability and stability of the battery power distribution unit 1000 by adopting an improved electrical component 100 and ensuring a stable connection between the electrical component 100 and the busbar 200.
[0084] Specifically, the shape and size of the mating part 201 are adapted to the connector part 112. This shape and size matching ensures the stability and safety of the electrical connection, avoiding energy loss and safety hazards caused by poor contact. At the same time, it simplifies installation and improves installation efficiency.
[0085] For further details, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 10 The mating part 201 is a socket 202 provided on one side of the busbar 200, and the insertion part 112 is inserted into the socket 202. At least one of the side surface of the cap 11 where the insertion part 112 is located or the end face of the insertion part 112 is in contact with the busbar 200 for conduction.
[0086] In the above technical solution, the mating part 201 is a socket 202 provided on one side of the busbar 200. The plug part 112 can be directly inserted into this socket 202 to achieve a quick connection and stable connection between the electrical component 100 and the busbar 200. This arrangement simplifies the installation process and ensures reliable and stable current transmission.
[0087] At least one of the side face or the end face of the connector 112 of the cap body 11 is in contact with the busbar 200, thereby increasing the conductive contact area, effectively reducing contact resistance and energy loss, and thus improving current transmission efficiency. For example, in some technical solutions, the side face of the connector 112 of the cap body 11 is in contact with the busbar 200; or, the end face of the connector 112 is in contact with the busbar 200; or, both the side face and the end face of the connector 112 of the cap body 11 are in contact with the busbar 200, which helps to enhance the reliable connection between the electrical component 100 and the busbar 200 to a greater extent, ensuring efficient and stable current transmission.
[0088] Further optionally, the socket 202 includes at least two hole segments arranged sequentially along the depth direction of the socket 202, and the width of the hole segments increases sequentially from the opening of the socket 202 to the bottom wall of the hole.
[0089] Specifically, the width of the segment near the opening of the socket 202 is the smallest, while the width of the segment near the bottom wall of the socket is the largest. The smaller opening segment helps guide the connector 112 to accurately enter the socket 202, providing initial positioning and ensuring alignment accuracy during insertion, reducing misoperation. As the insertion depth increases, the diameter of the segment gradually increases to accommodate the barbs 1122 on the connector 112. Here, the barbs 1122 can press the cap 11 against the busbar 200, ensuring sufficient contact area between them, thereby achieving stable and efficient current transmission.
[0090] The maximum diameter section of the hole near the bottom wall can accommodate the barb 1122 at the end of the connector 112, ensuring that the entire connector 112 can form a reliable locking force with the busbar 200 after being fully inserted. This not only enhances the stability and efficiency of the electrical connection, but also effectively prevents accidental loosening caused by external vibration or pulling.
[0091] Combination Figure 6 and Figure 9 Each segment of the insertion part 112 is provided with at least one barb 1122, and the length of the barb 1122 increases sequentially from the opening of the insertion hole 202 to the bottom wall of the hole.
[0092] The connector 112 has at least one barb 1122 for each hole segment, and the length of the barb 1122 gradually increases from the opening of the socket 202 to the bottom wall of the hole. This arrangement ensures that as the connector 112 is inserted deeper, each barb 1122 can abut against the corresponding hole segment in sequence, providing a clamping and positioning function. At the same time, each hole segment of the socket 202 can be provided with a stable locking force by the barb 1122, thereby improving the safety and stability of the connection. The increasing length of the barb 1122 forms a more robust locking mechanism, preventing accidental loosening and thus ensuring efficient and reliable current transmission.
[0093] The battery pack according to a fourth aspect of the present invention includes a battery power distribution unit 1000 according to a third aspect of the present invention.
[0094] The battery pack of this embodiment utilizes an improved battery power distribution unit 1000 to enhance the overall reliability of the battery pack. Simultaneously, the battery power distribution unit 1000 optimizes current transmission efficiency, reduces energy loss and heat generation, and extends the battery pack's lifespan.
[0095] The electrical device according to a fifth aspect of the present invention includes a battery pack according to a fourth aspect of the present invention.
[0096] The electrical device of this application embodiment achieves efficient, stable and safe power supply by integrating a battery pack according to the fourth aspect of the present invention.
