Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery signal acquisition technology, and in particular to a new energy integrated busbar. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of new energy technology, whether it is automotive power batteries or new energy storage, both the old and new national standards have put forward important requirements for battery installation. The collection of internal information of the battery can monitor the internal state of the battery in real time, thereby facilitating precise and stable control of the internal state, including the control of overcharging, over-discharging, temperature, etc.

[0003] In existing systems, aluminum busbars are mostly used as bridging structures between battery cells. Aluminum itself is not easily soldered, making the soldering of thin wires to aluminum busbars even more difficult. The related work processes require highly skilled operators and advanced equipment, resulting in a relatively high overall defect rate. In some integrated busbars, FFC (Flexible Flat Cable), FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit), FDC (Flexible Die-cutting Circuit), or FCC (Flexible Flat Cable Connect Flexible Die-cut Circuit) cables are used, along with integrated fuses. This inherently involves high process costs. The high defect rate in the soldering process increases costs for product scrap and rework, further increasing processing costs. Furthermore, in actual use, when a fuse blows, the cable cannot be repaired, essentially requiring the battery pack to be scrapped, increasing operating costs. Thus, integrating fuses into the cables increases the overall cost of the integrated busbar. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the technical problem that the integration of cables and fuses in the existing integrated busbar increases the overall cost, one of the objectives of this utility model is to provide a new energy integrated busbar.

Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature.

[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 The present invention provides a new energy integrated busbar, which includes a cable 1, a temperature acquisition module 2, a fuse assembly 3, and an aluminum busbar 4. Specifically, the temperature acquisition module 2 is disposed on the aluminum busbar 4 to acquire the temperature of the aluminum busbar 4. The fuse assembly 3 is disposed on the aluminum busbar 4 and is equipped with a fuse 32, which is electrically connected to the aluminum busbar 4 to acquire the voltage of the aluminum busbar 4. The cable 1 includes a main line 11, several first branch lines 12, and several second branch lines 13. One end of the first branch line 12 is connected to the main line 11, and the other end is connected to the temperature acquisition module 2. One end of the second branch line 13 is connected to the main line 11, and the other end is electrically connected to the fuse 32. The second branch line 13 acquires the voltage of the aluminum busbar 4 through the fuse 32.

[0038] In this embodiment, the new energy integrated busbar includes cables 1, temperature acquisition modules 2, fuse components 3, and aluminum busbars 4. The main line 11 is distributed in a straight line, with first branch lines 12 and second branch lines 13 located on either side or one side of the main line 11. The main line 11 connects to the temperature acquisition module 2 via the first branch line 12. The temperature module is mounted on the aluminum busbar 4 and acquires the temperature. The fuse component 3 is connected to the main line 11 via the second branch line 13. The fuse component 3 is mounted on the aluminum busbar 4 and acquires the voltage. Thus, through several first branch lines 12 and several second branch lines 13, batch monitoring of the battery cells is achieved. More importantly, in this embodiment, the fuse structure is set as an independent fuse component 3, with a fuse 32 installed on the fuse component 3. This eliminates the need to process the fuse 32 on the cable 1, reducing process costs, lowering the defect rate of the cable 1 or the integrated busbar, and reducing production costs.

[0039] In addition, in actual use, when fuse 32 blows, fuse component 3 can be directly replaced, which is convenient to maintain, has a long service life, low operating cost, and reduces the overall cost of the integrated busbar.

[0040] In some embodiments of insurance component 3, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the fuse assembly 3 includes a substrate 31, a fuse 32, a first pad 33, and a second pad 34. The substrate 31 serves as the basic mounting structure for the fuse 32, the first pad 33, and the second pad 34, and is typically a plate-like structure made of insulating material. The substrate 31 is mounted on the aluminum busbar 4. The first pad 33 is located at the first end of the substrate 31, and the second pad 34 is located at the second end of the substrate 31. One end of the fuse 32 is connected to the first pad 33, and the other end is connected to the second pad 34. The second branch line 13 is connected to the first pad 33. The second pad 34 is electrically connected to the aluminum busbar 4. In this embodiment, the first pad 33 and the second pad 34 are respectively the welding structures of the second branch line 13 and the electrically connected aluminum busbar 4, i.e., the welding structure of the second branch line 13 and the welding piece 35. The fuse 32 limits the current power between the first pad 33 and the second pad 34, preventing overload of the circuit flowing sequentially through the second branch line 13 and the main line 11, and preventing overheating of the integrated busbar.

[0041] Specifically, substrate 31 is a PCB board or a bakelite board.

[0042] In addition, such as Figure 3 As shown, the fuse assembly 3 also includes a welding piece 35, one end of which is welded to the second pad 34 and the other end is welded to the aluminum bar 4. The welding piece 35 is the structure for fixing the fuse assembly 3 and the aluminum bar 4, and it is also the structure for electrically connecting the fuse assembly 3 and the aluminum bar 4.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, a through hole 351 is provided at one end of the welding piece 35 near the second pad 34, with the through hole 351 facing the second pad 34. Providing the through hole 351 on the welding piece 35 facilitates direct welding of the upper surface of the second pad 34 to the lower surface of the welding piece 35 around the edge of the through hole 351. For example, when using laser welding, it allows the laser to directly heat the upper surface of the second pad 34 and the lower surface of the welding piece 35 around the edge of the through hole 351, improving the weld strength.

[0044] The welding piece 35 can be made of copper, aluminum, nickel, etc., with nickel being the preferred material.

[0045] In some embodiments of fuse 32, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the fuse assembly 3 also includes a protective layer 36 for isolation and protection. The protective layer 36 is disposed on the substrate 31 and covers the fuse 32, the first pad 33, and the second pad 34. The fuse 32, the first pad 33, and the second pad 34 are typically made of copper or a copper-based alloy, which are prone to corrosion when exposed for a long time. In particular, the fuse 32 is more likely to corrode and break. Therefore, the protective layer 36 can isolate and protect the fuse 32, the first pad 33, and the second pad 34, preventing oxidation and corrosion and improving the stability of use.

[0046] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the protective layer 36 has two windows 361, which are respectively set to correspond one-to-one with the first pad 33 and the second pad 34, for exposing the soldering. By setting the windows 361, the soldering is avoided, so that the second branch line 13 can be directly soldered to the first pad 33, and the solder pad 35 can be directly soldered to the second pad 34.

[0047] For the protective layer 36, the protective layer 36 can be an insulating layer, a solder resist film, etc., preferably a solder resist ink.

[0048] In some embodiments of the new energy integrated busbar, the new energy integrated busbar also includes a plastic tray 5, on which cables 1, temperature acquisition modules 2, safety components 3 and aluminum bars 4 are mounted.

[0049] Specifically, cable 1 can be an FFC cable, an FPC cable, an FDC cable, or an FCC cable.

[0050] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
