Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of battery copper busbar technology, specifically relating to a battery copper busbar with protective function. Background Technology

[0002] Existing battery copper busbars are used for installation on batteries and connection of equipment. Battery copper busbars, also known as copper busbars or copper busbars, are long conductors made of copper with a rectangular or chamfered rectangular cross-section (nowadays, rounded corner copper busbars are generally used to avoid point discharge). When the copper busbar is installed on the battery for connection, it is protected against corrosion by a zinc coating, which makes it less prone to corrosion and extends the service life of the battery copper busbar.

[0003] Existing battery copper busbars are installed by simply closing them at the mounting position and fixing them to the battery using screws inside the mounting holes. This method is inconvenient for tightening the screws after installation, causing the busbars to vibrate when the battery vibrates on the equipment. Frequent vibration can loosen the screws, leading to poor contact and reduced busbar performance. This also affects the busbar's ability to stay in place during use. Therefore, this invention proposes a battery copper busbar with protective features. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a battery copper busbar with protective function to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, which involve fixing the battery copper busbar with screws at the installation position on the battery. After the fixed installation, it is not convenient to reinforce the screws. When the battery is installed on the equipment and vibrates, the battery copper busbar will be subjected to force and vibrate. Frequent vibration can easily cause the screws to loosen, resulting in poor contact and reducing the performance of the copper busbar.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a battery copper busbar with protective function, comprising a battery copper busbar body, the battery copper busbar body comprising a copper busbar body, the outer surface of the copper busbar body being uniformly coated with a zinc plating, mounting holes being provided at both ends of the copper busbar body, fixing screws being provided inside the mounting holes, and the battery copper busbar body also being provided with:

[0006] An anti-loosening reinforcement mechanism is provided, and the anti-loosening reinforcement mechanism includes a rotary connection assembly disposed at the end of the mounting hole on the upper surface of the copper busbar body, and the rotary connection assembly is provided with a compression reinforcement assembly inside;

[0007] An insulation protection mechanism is provided, and the insulation protection mechanism includes an insulation protection component disposed at the end of the copper busbar on the outer surface of the fixing screw. A snap-fit ​​mounting component is disposed at the top of one side of the insulation protection component, and an elastic closing component is disposed at the bottom of the inner surface of the insulation protection component.

[0008] Preferably, the rotary connection assembly includes an integrally disposed external threaded ring located on the end surface of the copper busbar at the top of the mounting hole. The outer surface of the external threaded ring is provided with a reinforcing cap, and the inner surface edge of the reinforcing cap forms an internal threaded groove. The outer surface of the external threaded ring is threadedly connected to the inner surface of the internal threaded groove.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the reinforcing cap is provided with an internal hexagonal slot, and the internal hexagonal slot and the interior of the reinforcing cap are an integral structure.

[0010] Preferably, the compression reinforcement assembly includes an integrally disposed compression reinforcement column at the middle position inside the reinforcement cap, and the bottom end of the compression reinforcement column is in compression contact with the surface of the fixing screw.

[0011] Preferably, the insulation protection component includes an insulating protective sleeve disposed on the end surface of the copper busbar, and the two insulating protective sleeves are symmetrically arranged.

[0012] Preferably, the snap-fit ​​mounting assembly includes snap-fit ​​holes formed on the surface of the end of the insulating protective sleeve, and the end of the insulating protective sleeve is integrally provided with two elastic snap-fit ​​bodies, and the elastic snap-fit ​​bodies engage with the interior of the snap-fit ​​holes.

[0013] Preferably, the elastic closure component includes a protrusion integrally disposed at the bottom end of the inner surface of the insulating protective sleeve, and an arc-shaped groove is formed at the end edge of the copper busbar, and the internal structure of the protrusion matches the internal structure of the arc-shaped groove.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] By designing an anti-loosening reinforcement mechanism, the battery copper busbar body can be fixedly installed using fixing screws. The screws are embedded inside the external threaded ring, and the wrench is engaged inside the internal hexagonal socket. The reinforcement cap is rotated and installed by matching the thread structure on the outer surface of the external threaded ring with the internal thread structure of the internal threaded groove. The reinforcement cap is rotated and closed until the compression reinforcement column is pressed against the top of the fixing screw for reinforcement installation. This facilitates the reinforcement installation of the fixing screw and the copper busbar body. When the battery copper busbar body is installed on the battery, it is less likely to cause the copper busbar body and the fixing screw to loosen and make poor contact when the battery is vibrating on the equipment, thus improving the anti-detachment reinforcement of the battery copper busbar body on the battery.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a battery copper busbar with protective function, including a battery copper busbar body 100, the battery copper busbar body 100 including a copper busbar body 101, both ends of the copper busbar body 101 are provided with mounting holes 104, the mounting holes 104 are provided with fixing screws 103, the outer surface of the copper busbar body 101 is uniformly coated with a zinc-plated coating 102, the battery copper busbar body 100 is fixedly installed on the battery for use, the zinc-plated coating 102 provides anti-corrosion protection, is not easy to corrode, and extends the service life of the battery copper busbar body 100. The battery copper busbar body 100 is also provided with:

[0024] The anti-loosening reinforcement mechanism includes a rotating connection assembly located on the upper surface of the copper busbar body 101 at the end of the mounting hole 104. The rotating connection assembly has a compression reinforcement assembly inside. After the end of the copper busbar body 101 is fixedly installed by the fixing screw 103, the anti-loosening reinforcement mechanism strengthens the fixed installation of the end of the copper busbar body 101. The vibration generated by the battery during use on the equipment is less likely to cause loosening, thus strengthening the fixed installation.

[0025] To facilitate rotational reinforcement installation using the rotating connection assembly, in this embodiment, preferably, the rotating connection assembly includes an externally threaded ring 1033 integrally disposed at the top of the mounting hole 104 on the end surface of the copper busbar 101. A reinforcement cap 1031 is provided on the outer surface of the externally threaded ring 1033. The top of the reinforcement cap 1031 has an internal hexagonal slot 1032, which facilitates the wrench to be engaged inside the internal hexagonal slot 1032 to rotate and adjust the reinforcement cap 1031. An internally threaded groove 1034 is formed on the inner edge of the reinforcement cap 1031, and the outer surface of the externally threaded ring 1033 is threadedly connected to the inner surface of the internally threaded groove 1034. When rotating the reinforcement cap 1031, the reinforcement cap 1031 is rotated and installed through the internally threaded groove 1034 and the outer surface of the externally threaded ring 1033. It also facilitates the rotation of the reinforcement cap 1031 to drive the compression reinforcement column 1035 to move and adjust the reinforcement installation.

[0026] In order to facilitate the installation of the fixing screw 103 after rotation and installation by means of the compression reinforcement component, and to prevent the fixing screw 103 from loosening from the copper busbar body 101, in this embodiment, preferably, the compression reinforcement component includes a compression reinforcement column 1035 integrally disposed in the middle position inside the reinforcement cap 1031, and the bottom end of the compression reinforcement column 1035 is in compression contact with the surface of the fixing screw 103. When the reinforcement cap 1031 is rotated and installed, the compression reinforcement column 1035 can be pressed against the surface of the fixing screw 103 for reinforcement and installation, thereby reinforcing and installing the copper busbar body 101 and preventing it from loosening when subjected to external force after installation.

[0027] An insulation protection mechanism is provided, which includes an insulation protection component located on the outer surface of the fixing screw 103 at the end of the copper busbar body 101. A snap-fit ​​mounting component is provided at the top of one side of the insulation protection component, and an elastic closing component is provided at the bottom of the inner surface of the insulation protection component. When the battery copper busbar body 100 is fixedly installed on the battery, the insulation protection mechanism provides insulation protection for the end installation point of the battery copper busbar body 100, ensuring safe use.

[0028] In order to facilitate the fixed installation of the battery copper busbar body 101 and provide insulation protection for the installation point at the end, so as to prevent danger from being caused by contact with conductive objects, in this embodiment, preferably, the insulation protection component includes an insulating protective sleeve 1011 disposed on the end surface of the copper busbar body 101, and the two insulating protective sleeves 1011 are symmetrically arranged. After the copper busbar body 101 is fixedly installed at the end, the insulating protective sleeve 1011 can be closed at the installation point at the end for insulation protection and safe use.

[0029] To facilitate the snap-fit ​​installation of the top side of the insulating protective sleeve 1011 and the copper busbar 101 using the snap-fit ​​installation assembly, and to facilitate closed installation and protection, in this embodiment, preferably, the snap-fit ​​installation assembly includes a snap-fit ​​hole 1013 formed on the surface of the end of the insulating protective sleeve 1011. The end of the insulating protective sleeve 1011 is integrally provided with two elastic snap-fit ​​bodies 1012, and the elastic snap-fit ​​bodies 1012 engage with the inside of the snap-fit ​​hole 1013. The insulating protective sleeve 1011 can be closed and installed at the end of the copper busbar 101 by the elastic snap-fit ​​bodies 1012 engaging inside the snap-fit ​​hole 1013, thus providing insulation protection at the connection point.

[0030] In order to facilitate the tight pressing and installation of the bottom end of the insulating protective sleeve 1011 and the end of the copper busbar 101 by means of the elastic closing component, in this embodiment, preferably, the elastic closing component includes a protrusion 1014 integrally disposed on the bottom end of the inner surface of the insulating protective sleeve 1011, and an arc-shaped groove 1015 is formed on the end edge of the copper busbar 101, and the internal structure of the protrusion 1014 matches the arc-shaped groove 1015. After the insulating protective sleeve 1011 is closed, the bottom end of the insulating protective sleeve 1011 is engaged in the arc-shaped groove 1015 by the protrusion 1014, thereby closing and installing the bottom end of the insulating protective sleeve 1011 and the end of the copper busbar 101.

[0031] The working principle and usage process of this utility model: Before use, the battery copper busbar with protective function is first fixedly installed. The copper busbar body 101 can be closed at the installation position on the battery. The fixing screw 103 passes through the inside of the mounting hole 104 and rotates to install it with the internal threaded hole at the installation position inside the battery, thereby fixing the battery copper busbar body 100 for use. When the copper busbar body 101 is installed and used, it is protected against corrosion by the zinc coating 102, which makes it less prone to corrosion and extends the service life of the battery copper busbar body 100.

[0032] Then, after the battery copper busbar body 100 is fixedly installed, the screw is rotated and installed into the interior of the external threaded ring 1033. The wrench is then engaged in the interior hexagonal slot 1032 to drive the reinforcing cap 1031 to rotate. When the reinforcing cap 1031 rotates, it is rotated and installed by matching the thread structure on the outer surface of the external threaded ring 1033 with the internal thread structure of the internal threaded groove 1034. The reinforcing cap 1031 is rotated and closed on the outer surface of the external threaded ring 1033 until the compression reinforcing column 1035 is pressed against the top of the fixing screw 103 for reinforcement. This makes it easy to reinforce the fixing screw 103 and the copper busbar body 101. Therefore, when the battery copper busbar body 100 is installed on the battery, it is less likely to cause the copper busbar body 101 and the fixing screw 103 to loosen and cause poor contact when the battery is vibrating on the equipment. This improves the anti-detachment reinforcement of the battery copper busbar body 100 on the battery.

[0033] Finally, when the battery copper busbar body 100 is fixedly installed on the battery, the elastic clip 1012 deforms and is inserted through the clip hole 1013. After the elastic clip 1012 is inserted, the insulating protective sleeve 1011 is closed on the end surface of the copper busbar body 101, on the outer surface of the fixing screw 103 and the reinforcing cap 1031. The bottom end of the insulating protective sleeve 1011 is engaged with the inside of the arc groove 1015 through the protrusion 1014, thereby engaging the insulating protective sleeve 1011 at the end of the copper busbar body 101 for installation and use. After the battery copper busbar body 100 is installed and used, it is convenient to provide insulation protection for the end of the battery copper busbar body 100. When external conductive objects come into contact with the surface insulation protection of the insulating protective sleeve 1011, it is not easy to cause danger and damage, thus improving the convenience of insulation protection of the battery copper busbar body 100 during installation and use.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described (see the detailed description above), it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
