Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of energy storage equipment technology, and in particular to an electrical component fixing device and a vehicle-mounted energy storage device. Background Technology
[0002] Electric vehicles, electric ships, and rail transit systems are typically equipped with onboard energy storage devices. These devices store electrical energy through battery packs, providing sustained power for long-distance travel. The combiner cabinets and high-voltage boxes of these onboard energy storage devices contain electrical components such as contactors, fuses, and relays. These components are mounted via guide rails to ensure a compact layout and easy maintenance. However, existing guide rails only constrain the components vertically, preventing them from detaching, but cannot effectively restrict their horizontal movement. To address the horizontal freedom issue, end plates are typically added to the ends or middle of the guide rails, using clamping structures to restrict the lateral displacement of the electrical components.
[0003] Traditional terminal plates often employ elastic clamping designs, such as metal spring plates. These plates rely on the friction generated by the deformation of the metal spring plate to resist only minor vibrations and are only suitable for static scenarios. However, metal spring plates are prone to elastic fatigue due to repeated vibrations, causing the clamping force to gradually decrease. In a vehicle environment, continuous acceleration in the width direction is generated when the vehicle is moving, braking, or experiencing bumps, causing traditional terminal plates to loosen due to insufficient elasticity. This leads to displacement of electrical components and unreliable fixation of various electrical components. Utility Model Content

[0045] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0046] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0047] This utility model discloses an electrical component fixing device, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 1 As shown, it includes a guide rail 1 and at least one end piece 3, with the end piece 3 located at the end of the electrical component 2. Specifically, an end piece 3 is installed at each end of the electrical component 2. The electrical component 2 mentioned in the text can be a contactor, fuse, relay, etc.
[0048] In the first specific embodiment, as shown in the appendix Figures 2 to 4 As shown, each end piece 3 includes a pressure plate 31 and two hooks 32 respectively fixed on both sides of the pressure plate 31. (See attached diagram) Figure 1 and 7 As shown, the guide rail 1 has flanges 11 bent on two opposite sides. The pressure plate 31 presses against the flanges 11, and the hooks 32 engage with the flanges 11, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 8 As shown, the vertical displacement of the end piece 3 is restricted to prevent the end piece 3 from moving up and down relative to the guide rail 1.
[0049] Specifically, two hooks 32 are integrally mounted on both sides of the pressure plate 31. Each hook 32 is L-shaped and includes a vertical plate perpendicularly connected to the pressure plate 31 and a snap-fit plate perpendicularly connected to the vertical plate. A U-shaped groove is formed between the snap-fit plate and the pressure plate 31, and the U-shaped groove engages with the flange 11. The guide rail 1 is fixed to the mounting plate, which is fixed inside the combiner cabinet and high-voltage box. The guide rail 1 includes a fixed plate and two support plates fixed to both sides of the fixed plate. The fixed plate is fixed to the mounting plate, and both support plates are perpendicular to the fixed plate. Both support plates are bent to have flanges 11, which are perpendicular to the support plates.
[0050] As attached Figure 1 , 8 As shown in Figure 9, a locking screw 4 is inserted through the pressure plate 31. When the locking screw 4 is tightened, it abuts against the flange 11, constraining the horizontal displacement of the end piece 3 and preventing it from moving horizontally relative to the guide rail 1. Conversely, when the locking screw 4 is loosened, the end piece 3 can slide along the guide rail 1, flexibly adjusting the position of the electrical component 2. Specifically, threaded holes are provided on both sides of the pressure plate 31, and the locking screw 4 is threaded into the threaded holes. The locking screw 4 is fitted with a washer. When the locking screw 4 is tightened, the washer abuts against the edge of the threaded hole, increasing the friction between the locking screw 4 and the pressure plate 31, preventing the locking screw 4 from loosening and ensuring that the electrical component 2 is reliably fixed.
[0051] In summary, this utility model adopts a fixing method that combines hook 32 snap-fit and screw abutment to constrain the end piece 3 in both the vertical and horizontal directions, so that the end piece 3 can be stably and reliably fixed on the guide rail 1, and the fixing of each electrical component 2 is more reliable.
[0052] In the first specific embodiment, the hook 32 has an anti-slip protrusion 321 on the side facing the flange 11, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 5 As shown, the anti-slip protrusion 321 abuts against the flange 11, increasing the friction between the hook 32 and the flange 11, effectively preventing the hook 32 from accidentally slipping or loosening along the flange 11 under vibration or external force, allowing the end piece 3 to withstand load impacts in a vehicle environment. Furthermore, the contact surface between the anti-slip protrusion 321 and the flange 11 forms additional support points, dispersing the stress at the connection part 53, reducing the risk of plastic deformation during long-term use, and extending the service life of the end piece 3. Specifically, all the anti-slip protrusions 321 are evenly distributed along the length of the guide rail 1.
[0053] In the first specific embodiment, as shown in the appendix Figure 6 As shown, at least one hook 32 has an outer surface including a bottom surface 322 and an inclined surface 323 arranged at an angle. The bottom surface 322 is parallel to the pressure plate 31, and the bottom surface 322 and the inclined surface 323 are smoothly connected by an arc surface 324. The arc surface 324 and the inclined surface 323 are connected to form an inlet surface, which is used to guide the flange 11 into the hook 32, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 7 and 8 As shown, this reduces the installation difficulty between guide rail 1 and end piece 3.
[0054] In a first specific embodiment, the end piece 3 includes a baffle 33 perpendicularly connected to the pressure plate 31. The baffle 33 has several raised ribs 331 on the side facing the electrical component 2, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 2 and 3 As shown, all the raised ribs 331 abut against the end of the electrical component 2, and all the raised ribs 331 are linearly distributed along the width direction of the guide rail 1; along the thickness direction of the guide rail 1, the thickness of the raised ribs 331 gradually decreases, that is, the side of the raised ribs 331 facing the electrical component 2 is an inclined surface 323, so that a small amount of interference is formed between the baffle 33 and the electrical component 2, increasing the friction between the baffle 33 and the electrical component 2, so as to adapt to the high vibration conditions under vehicle conditions.
[0055] In a first specific embodiment, a reinforcing rib 34 is provided between the baffle 33 and the pressure plate 31, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 3 and 4As shown, the reinforcing rib 34 is located on the side of the baffle 33 away from the electrical component 2, forming a triangular support structure at the right-angle connection between the baffle 33 and the pressure plate 31. This effectively disperses external loads and reduces stress concentration at the right-angle connection, resisting bending deformation caused by impact or vibration under vehicle load conditions. The reinforcing rib 34 is fixed between the baffle 33 and the pressure plate 31 using welding, riveting, or integral molding processes to prevent cracking or loosening at the connection.
[0056] Compared to the first embodiment, the second embodiment changes the structure of the end piece 3.
[0057] In the second specific embodiment, to improve reliability, the end piece 3 is further provided with an extension plate 5 and a pressing strip 6, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 10 and 11 As shown, this is to accommodate electrical components that are tall or large in size.
[0058] In the second specific embodiment, as shown in the appendix Figure 10 As shown, each end piece 3 has a detachable extension plate 5 at the end furthest from the guide rail 1. The extension plate 5 extends along the width direction of the guide rail 1. The extension plate 5 abuts against the end of the electrical component 2, increasing the contact area between the end piece 3 and the electrical component 2, effectively constraining the horizontal displacement of the electrical component 2 and preventing horizontal movement of the electrical component 2. A pressing strip 6 is detachably installed between the extension plates 5 of adjacent end pieces 3. The pressing strip 6 extends along the length direction of the guide rail 1 and abuts against the top of the electrical component 2, constraining the vertical displacement of the electrical component 2 and preventing vertical movement of the electrical component 2 relative to the guide rail 1. In this utility model, both the extension strip and the pressing strip are detachable, allowing for installation according to the specifications of the electrical component 2, resulting in better adaptability. By adding the extension plate 5 and the pressing strip, the movement of the electrical component 2 relative to the guide rail 1 in both horizontal and vertical directions is restricted, ensuring more reliable fixation of the electrical component 2. Specifically, each end piece 3 is equipped with an extension plate 5, and two pressing strips 6 are installed between the extension plates 5 of adjacent end pieces 3.
[0059] In the second specific embodiment, as shown in the appendix Figure 11 and 12 As shown, the extension plate 5 is a split structure, comprising a left extension piece 51 and a right extension piece 52 symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the baffle 33, which respectively abut against the two sides of the electrical component 2. Specifically, the left extension piece 51 and the right extension piece 52 have the same structure. The left extension piece 51 includes a stop portion and a connecting portion 53. The stop portion abuts against the end of the electrical component 2, and the connecting portion 53 is detachably connected to the baffle 33. Both the stop portion and the connecting portion 53 are rectangular plates, and the apex corners of the connecting portion 53 and the stop portion are connected. Of course, the extension plate 5 can also be a one-piece structure, which is not specifically limited here.
[0060] In the second specific embodiment, as shown in the appendix Figures 10 to 12 As shown, each pressing strip 6 is integrally formed with reinforcing ribs, which extend along the length of the guide rail 1 to improve the bending strength of the pressing strip 6, so as to adapt to the high vibration conditions in the vehicle environment and ensure that the electrical components 2 are stable and do not loosen under vibration.
[0061] In the second specific embodiment, the extension plate 5 and the baffle 33 are snap-fitted together, and the pressing strip 6 and the extension plate 5 are also snap-fitted together, which facilitates the disassembly of the extension plate 5 and the pressing strip 6.
[0062] As attached Figure 11 and 12 As shown, both the left extension piece 51 and the right extension piece 52 have an integrally formed connecting portion 53 on one side. The connecting portion 53 and the baffle 33 are provided with a matching side latch 332 and a side latch hole 531, facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the extension plates 5. Specifically, the side latch 332 is a circumferential pin integrally formed on the baffle 33, and the side latch hole 531 is a circumferential hole located in the connecting portion 53. Of course, interchangeable positions of the side latch 332 and the side latch hole 531 do not affect the objective of this invention.
[0063] As attached Figure 11 and 12 As shown, both the left extension piece 51 and the right extension piece 52 have a support portion 54 bent on their other side. The support portion 54 and the pressing strip 6 are provided with a top locking pin 541 and a top locking hole 61 that cooperate with each other, facilitating the installation and removal of the pressing strip 6. Specifically, the top locking pin 541 is a circumferential pin integrally formed on the support portion 54, and the top locking hole 61 is a circumferential hole provided on the pressing strip 6. Of course, interchangeable positions of the top locking pin 541 and the top locking hole 61 do not affect the purpose of this utility model.
[0064] In addition to the snap-fit connection, the pressing strip 6 and the extension plate 5 are connected by threads, and multiple connection positions are set on the pressing strip 6. The installation position can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual length of the electrical component 2, which can be compatible with electrical components 2 of different specifications and effectively improve adaptability.
[0065] Compared to the second embodiment, the third embodiment changes the structure of the pressing strip 6.
[0066] In the third specific embodiment, the pressing strip 6 is provided with a plurality of fixing holes 62, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 13 As shown, all the fixing holes 62 are arranged linearly along the length of the guide rail 1, and all the fixing holes 62 are distributed at equal intervals; the top of the extension plate 5 is bent to provide a support part 54, and a fastening bolt is passed through the support part 54. The fastening bolt is selected to cooperate with the fixing hole 62, and the fastening bolt is equipped with a fastening nut. The fastening nut abuts against the edge of the fixing hole 62, so that the pressing strip 6 is reliably fixed on the extension plate 5.
[0067] Compared to the second embodiment, the fourth embodiment changes the structure of the pressing strip 6.
[0068] In the fourth specific embodiment, the pressing strip 6 is provided with a waist-shaped hole 63, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 14 As shown, all the waist-shaped holes 63 extend along the length of the guide rail 1; the top of the extension plate 5 is bent to provide a support part 54, the support part 54 is provided with a connecting bolt, the connecting bolt passes through the waist-shaped hole 63, the connecting bolt is equipped with a connecting nut, the connecting nut abuts against the edge of the waist-shaped hole 63, which can also ensure that the pressing strip 6 is reliably fixed on the extension plate 5.
