Detailed Implementation
[0020] 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.
[0021] Embodiment 1 of this utility model, as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first polarity junction box is a negative junction box, and the second polarity junction box is a positive junction box. A first intermediate conductive plate 11 is disposed inside the first polarity junction box 1. At least two sets of axial diodes 3 are disposed on both sides of the first intermediate conductive plate 11. The first intermediate conductive plate is U-shaped. Each axial diode 3 includes a first pin 31 and a second pin 32 with a central hole. The second pins 32 of the two sets of axial diodes 3 are overlapped and mounted above both sides of the first intermediate conductive plate 11. A non-circular conductive plate 4, stacked with the corresponding axial diode 3, is disposed on the top of each of the two sets of axial diodes 3. The second polarity junction box 2 is disposed inside the second intermediate conductive plate 21. Axial diodes 3 are disposed on the sides of the second intermediate conductive plate 21. A non-circular conductive plate 4, stacked with the corresponding axial diode 3, is disposed on the top of the axial diode 3. Figure 5 As shown, the stacked layout minimizes the concentration of conductive sheets and diversifies the heat dissipation pathways. In this embodiment, the traditional negative terminal box and intermediate terminal box are combined into a first polarity terminal box, adopting a two-part design to adapt to the new battery cell layout, reduce the number of boxes, and lower the box volume. At the same time, a three-dimensional heat dissipation method is adopted to enhance internal heat dissipation and achieve better thermal performance.
[0022] like Figure 6 As shown, the irregularly shaped conductive sheet 4 includes a first connecting portion 41 and a supporting portion 42 coplanar with the first connecting portion 41. The supporting portion is mounted as shown in the figure. Figure 2 and Figure 4The positioning post with a support platform is located in front of the left axial diode, ensuring that the support part and the first connecting part are installed horizontally. The side of the support part 42 away from the first connecting part 41 is provided with a bending part 43 that connects to the second connecting part 44. The height of the second connecting part 44 is lower than that of the first connecting part 41, forming a three-dimensional conductive sheet structure. The first connecting part 41 is located above the second pin 32 of the axial diode 3 and overlaps the protrusions 12 on both sides of the first intermediate conductive sheet 11. The second connecting part 44 is connected to the first pin 31 of the axial diode 3.
[0023] The first connecting part 41 has upwardly bent flanges 45 on both the front and rear sides to restrict the flow area of solder and prevent it from falling onto the pins below and the first central conductive sheet.
[0024] The irregularly shaped conductive sheet 4 in the second polarity junction box 2 is installed in the same way as the irregularly shaped conductive sheet 4 in the first polarity junction box 1. The support part is installed on the positioning post, the first connection part is located above the second pin, and the second connection part is in contact with the first pin.
[0025] The two sets of axial diodes 3 inside the first polarity junction box 1 are installed in a staggered manner to increase the distance between the two sets of axial diodes and avoid interference between them. The first intermediate conductive plate 11 is installed at the bottom inside the first polarity junction box 1 through a positioning post. The second pin 32 of the axial diode 3 passes through one of the positioning posts and is installed on the top of the first intermediate conductive plate 11. The second connecting part 44 of the irregular conductive plate 4 near the cable side inside the first polarity junction box 1 is simultaneously connected to the first pin 31 and the cable.
[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, at least four sets of outlet ports 13 connected to the busbars are provided at the center of the first intermediate conductive sheet 11 and the second intermediate conductive sheet 21 and on the two side protrusions 12. These include two sets of outlet ports arranged horizontally and two sets of outlet ports arranged vertically. In traditional structures, each junction box has at least four sets of outlet ports, and the large number of busbars affects wiring efficiency. In this embodiment, the intermediate junction box and the negative junction box share one set of outlet ports. The busbars can also be combined and connected to the horizontally arranged set of outlet ports. A single junction box can achieve three or four outlets, making maintenance and testing more convenient.
[0027] The difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that the first polarity junction box is a combined structure of a positive junction box and an intermediate junction box, and the second polarity junction box is a negative junction box, which enriches the types of junction boxes and expands the application range of junction boxes.
[0028] Several points need to be clarified: First, in the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly, and can refer to mechanical or electrical connections, or internal connections between two components, or direct connections.
