Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a battery pack with a connector, and more particularly to a battery pack with the connector disposed on a substrate. Background Technology

[0002] As a battery pack with connectors, examples include battery packs with connectors such as power interfaces and communication interfaces. These connectors are used to connect to a power source or user-end equipment. Power interfaces include, for example, a main power interface or a balanced charging interface. Communication interfaces include, for example, a CAN bus or RS485, used for data transmission.

[0003] In current battery packs with connectors, one end of the wire needs to be soldered to the substrate during battery pack production. The substrate and the battery pack body are then sealed in the battery casing. The other end of the wire is led out from the battery casing and connected to a power source or external device using a connector at the other end of the wire. Utility Model Content

[0004] The problem to be solved by utility models

[0005] In the aforementioned battery packs, the production process requires selecting different types of wires based on the different connection targets (i.e., the client devices) before soldering them to the substrate. This presents the following problems: managing and selecting different wires during production is complex, labor-intensive, and prone to errors, potentially leading to products that are incompatible with the user's client devices; once incorrect wires are soldered to the substrate and sealed, they are difficult to replace and must be disposed of as scrap; and during production and shipment, battery packs with different types of wires may be mixed up, resulting in incompatibility with the user's client devices.

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a battery pack with a connector, which can reduce the difficulty of parts management in the production process, facilitate production, and at the same time reduce the probability of parts mismatch.

[0007] means for solving problems

[0008] The first embodiment of the present invention provides a battery pack with a connector, which has a battery pack body and a substrate. The substrate is connected to the battery pack body, and a connector is provided on the substrate. The connector is directly connected to the substrate and protrudes from the battery pack body to the outside.

[0009] The second embodiment of the present invention is a battery pack with a connector, which, in the first embodiment of the battery pack, further includes a substrate protective shell. The substrate protective shell covers the substrate and forms a notch at a position corresponding to the connector, thereby exposing the connector.

[0010] The third-party battery pack with connector of this utility model is, in the second type of battery pack, the substrate protective shell is a resin substrate protective shell.

[0011] The fourth embodiment of the present invention is a battery pack with a connector, which, in the battery packs of the first to third embodiments, further includes a connecting wire, wherein the connecting wire has a connecting wire terminal at one end that can be detached from the connector.

[0012] The fifth embodiment of the present invention is a battery pack with a connector in which the connecting line has a client terminal at the other end.

[0020] The following is based on Figure 1-3 This description illustrates one embodiment of the present invention. The proportions in the figures are for illustrative purposes only and do not strictly represent actual proportions. The dimensions and proportions of the actual product may vary depending on specific design requirements.

[0023] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the main parts of the battery pack of this utility model. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the substrate of this utility model.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the battery pack 100 of this utility model includes a substrate 110, a substrate protective shell 120, and a battery pack body 130. The substrate 110 is connected to the battery pack body 130 and protrudes outward from one end of the battery pack body 130. A connector 111 is provided on the portion of the substrate 110 protruding outward from the battery pack body 130. The connector 111 can be attached to the substrate by processes such as welding or crimping. The substrate protective shell 120 is used to protect the substrate 110 and improve the reliability of the battery pack in harsh environments. A notch is formed on the substrate protective shell 120 at a position corresponding to the connector 111, thereby exposing the connector 111 and enabling it to be connected to external devices.

[0025] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the usage state of this utility model. (For example...) Figure 3 As shown, the battery pack 100 and the client 200 are connected via a connecting cable 300. The battery pack 100 has a connector 111, the connecting cable 300 has connecting cable terminals 311 and 312, and the client 200 has a client connector 212. The connector 111 has a fixed model number. The client 200 can be any device that requires power from the battery pack, or a power source capable of charging the battery pack. Different clients can have different client connectors.

[0026] When connecting the battery pack 100 to different clients 200, first select a connecting cable 300 compatible with both the battery pack 100 and the client 200. Connect the connecting cable 300's terminal 311 to the battery pack 100's connector 111, and connect the connecting cable 300's terminal 312 to the client 200's client connector 212. Thus, the connecting cable 300 connects the battery pack 100 and the client 200. In addition to providing physical interface compatibility, the connecting cable 300 may also include circuitry (such as level conversion and signal conditioning) to ensure electrical compatibility.

[0027] According to the above-described method, the battery pack of this utility model has a connector 111 provided on the substrate 110 connected to the battery pack body 130. The connector 111 is directly connected to the substrate 110. Therefore, during the battery pack production process, there is no need to sort and manage the wires, which reduces the difficulty of parts management during production and facilitates production. In addition, the connector 111 has few models, is easy to distinguish, and corresponds to the setting position on the substrate, thereby reducing the probability of parts matching errors.

[0028] The above describes one embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0029] For example, in the above embodiments, the battery pack 100 and the client 200 are connected by a connecting cable 300. However, if the client 200 can be directly connected to the battery pack 100, the battery pack 100 may not include a connecting cable 300.

[0030] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various omissions, modifications, and variations can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit or scope. Therefore, it should be understood that this utility model includes changes and variations within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents. In particular, it should be understood that any combination of any part or all of any two or more of the above-described embodiments and their variations is within the scope of this utility model.
