[0036] In related technologies, battery devices utilize copper-aluminum composite flexible busbars, which are key components for electrical connections within the battery device. However, to increase the connection area and current-carrying capacity of dissimilar metals, it is necessary to locally thin the flexible copper and aluminum busbars beforehand, and then weld the thinned areas to form the copper-aluminum composite flexible busbar. This results in insufficient strength in the thinned areas of the flexible copper busbar, potentially causing the copper foil to fray and the connection to become unstable, leading to insufficient current-carrying capacity and affecting the strength and electrical performance of the copper-aluminum composite flexible busbar.
[0037] The following is for reference. Figures 1-3 The composite flexible busbar 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.
[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, the composite flexible busbar 1 according to this utility model includes: a flexible connector 11, a rigid connector 12, and an adapter 13. One end of the adapter 13 is electrically connected to the flexible connector 11, and the other end of the adapter 13 is electrically connected to the rigid connector 12. Specifically, the flexible connector 11 can be formed by stacking metal foil layers 111 and then welding both ends together. After welding, the flexible connector 11 can swing and rotate, and its arbitrary bending and twisting characteristics can improve the quickness and practicality of electrical component installation. The rigid connector 12 can be directly stamped from a metal sheet. The flexible connector 11 and the rigid connector 12 are made of different materials. For example, the flexible connector 11 can be made of copper and the rigid connector 12 can be made of aluminum; or the flexible connector 11 can be made of aluminum and the rigid connector 12 can be made of copper, which can adapt to the conductive connection between different electrical components. By using the flexible connector 11 and the rigid connector 12, the stability of the conductive connection between electrical components can be maintained during installation, while also absorbing the installation tolerances of the electrical components and vibrations during operation, thereby improving the overall stability and safety.
[0039] The adapter 13, serving as a transition between the flexible connector 11 and the rigid connector 12, can be made of a metal with the same or similar material as the flexible connector 11. Welding the adapter 13 to the flexible connector 11 avoids the mismatch in current carrying capacity caused by direct electrical connection of dissimilar metals, and also avoids the need for thinning the flexible connector 11, ensuring the overall strength and current carrying capacity of the composite flexible busbar 1. In another embodiment, the adapter 13 can also be a metal with a different material than the flexible connector 11, such as an alloy terminal. The alloy terminal can be connected to the flexible connector 11 and the rigid connector 12 via a bolt-type design, achieving the same effect. This invention does not limit this, as long as the adapter 13 can electrically connect the flexible connector 11 and the rigid connector 12, ensuring strength and current carrying capacity.
[0040] According to this utility model, the composite flexible busbar 1 is electrically connected to the flexible connector 11 and the rigid connector 12 by setting the adapter 13. This can maintain the stability of the conductive connection between electrical components during installation, and at the same time, there is no need to thin the flexible connector 11, which can improve the overall strength and current carrying capacity of the composite flexible busbar 1.
[0041] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the material of the adapter 13 is the same as that of the flexible connector 11. Specifically, the materials of the adapter 13 and the flexible connector 11 can both be copper, or the materials of the adapter 13 and the flexible connector 11 can both be aluminum. This arrangement can avoid the mismatch of current carrying capacity caused by direct electrical connection of dissimilar metals, and can improve the current carrying capacity of the composite flexible busbar 1.
[0042] In some embodiments, the adapter 13 and the flexible connector 11 can be welded together by friction welding or ultrasonic welding. Welding together by friction welding or ultrasonic welding improves the strength and current carrying capacity of the composite flexible busbar 1.
[0043] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the flexible connector 11 includes multiple metal foil layers 111, which are stacked. The two ends of the multiple metal foil layers 111 are respectively fixedly connected to form a first connecting portion 112 and a second connecting portion 113. A deformable portion 114 is formed between the first connecting portion 112 and the second connecting portion 113. The first connecting portion 112 is electrically connected to the adapter 13, and the second connecting portion 113 is used for electrically connecting to the electrical components of the battery device. Specifically, the two ends of the multiple metal foil layers 111 can be welded together to form a block shape to form the first connecting portion 112 and the second connecting portion 113, while the middle portion of the multiple metal foil layers 111 is in a loose state to form the deformable portion 114. Thus, the flexible connector 11 has a structure with rigid ends and a soft middle, which is simple to manufacture and easy to form.
[0044] In some embodiments, the flexible connector 11 is constructed as a soft copper busbar, which is composed of multiple layers of electrolytic copper foil with a thickness of 0.1-0.3mm. The two ends of the multiple copper foils are welded together by molecular diffusion welding technology, which is simple to manufacture and easy to form.
[0045] In some embodiments, the flexible connector 11 is constructed as a soft aluminum strip, which is composed of multiple layers of aluminum foil sheets or aluminum foil strips. The two ends of the multiple layers of aluminum foil sheets or aluminum foil strips are welded together by ultrasonic welding or laser welding, which is simple to manufacture and easy to form.
[0046] In other embodiments, the flexible connector 11 includes multiple metal wire bundles, which are joined together, and the two ends of the multiple metal wire bundles are fixedly connected by welding or other means to form a first connecting part 112 and a second connecting part 113.
[0047] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the end face of the first connecting part 112 is attached to the end face of the adapter 13 and connected by welding. Specifically, the end face of the first connecting part 112 can be manufactured as a plane, and the end face of the adapter 13 can also be manufactured as a plane. The first connecting part 112 and the adapter 13 are connected by welding with their surfaces in contact, which can increase the contact area, enhance the current carrying capacity, and increase the connection stability. Of course, the end faces of the first connecting part 112 and the adapter 13 can also be manufactured as arc-shaped surfaces, curved surfaces, etc., as long as they can fit together.
[0048] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the end of the first connecting part 112 facing the adapter 13 has a protrusion, which protrudes along the width direction of the first connecting part 112. This can increase the connection area between the first connecting part 112 and the adapter 13, thereby increasing the flow area and flow capacity.
[0049] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the second connecting part 113 is provided with a first connecting hole 1131, and the second connecting part 113 is electrically connected to the electrical components of the battery device through the first connecting hole 1131. Specifically, the first connecting hole 1131 penetrates the second connecting part 113, and the electrical components of the battery device can be riveted to the first connecting hole 1131 by rivets to achieve an electrical connection. The connection method is simple and easy to manufacture.
[0050] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the rigid connector 12 is provided with a first stepped portion 121, and the adapter 13 is provided with a second stepped portion 131. The first stepped portion 121 and the second stepped portion 131 overlap and are connected by welding. Specifically, the first stepped portion 121 is formed by partially thinning the end of the rigid connector 12 near the adapter 13, and the second stepped portion 131 is formed by partially thinning the end of the adapter 13 near the rigid connector 12. Along the thickness direction of the rigid connector 12, the first stepped portion 121 and the second stepped portion 131 overlap and are connected by welding. The provision of the first stepped portion 121 and the second stepped portion 131 increases the connection area between the adapter 13 and the rigid connector 12, thereby enhancing the current carrying capacity of the composite flexible busbar 1 and also enhancing the connection strength between the adapter 13 and the rigid connector 12, thus improving the overall strength of the composite flexible busbar 1. More specifically, the adapter 13 and the rigid connector 12 are fixed by EMPT (electromagnetic pulse welding). The high-speed impact force generated by the electromagnetic pulse is used to achieve cold connection and solid-state welding of the adapter 13 and the rigid connector 12, which has the advantages of no heat-affected zone, high efficiency and environmental protection.
[0051] According to some other embodiments of the present invention, the adapter 13 and the rigid connector 12 can also be connected by end face contact, or the adapter 13 can be provided with a step, and the rigid connector 12 can be directly overlapped on the step and then welded together; or the rigid connector 12 can be provided with a step, and the adapter 13 can be directly overlapped on the step and then welded together.
[0052] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the rigid connector 12 is provided with a second connecting hole 122. The rigid connector 12 is electrically connected to the electrical components of the battery device through the second connecting hole 122. The second connecting hole 122 is spaced apart from the first stepped portion 121. Specifically, the second connecting hole 122 penetrates through the rigid connector 12. The electrical components of the battery device can be riveted to the second connecting hole 122 for conductive connection. The connection method is simple and easy to manufacture. At the same time, the second connecting hole 122 is spaced apart from the first stepped portion 121 to avoid affecting the connection area and connection strength between the rigid connector 12 and the adapter 13.
[0053] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the composite flexible busbar 1 further includes an insulating member 14. The insulating member 14 is sleeved around the outer periphery of the adapter 13 and the rigid connector 12 and at least covers the connection between the adapter 13 and the rigid connector 12. Specifically, the insulating member 14 can wrap around the outer periphery of the adapter 13 and the rigid connector 12 and cover the connection between the adapter 13 and the rigid connector 12. In this way, the insulating member 14 can not only play a role in insulation and protection, but also act as a protective layer, protecting the connection from the influence of the external environment to a certain extent, thereby improving the service life and safety of the composite flexible busbar 1.
[0054] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the insulating member 14 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the adapter 13 and the flexible connector 11 and at least covers the connection between the adapter 13 and the flexible connector 11. Specifically, the insulating member 14 can wrap around the outer periphery of the adapter 13 and the flexible connector 11 and cover the connection between the adapter 13 and the flexible connector 11. In this way, the insulating member 14 can not only play a role in insulation and protection, but also act as a protective layer, protecting the connection from the influence of the external environment to a certain extent, and improving the service life and safety of the composite flexible busbar 1.
[0055] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the insulating component 14 can be made of materials such as ceramic or PPS plastic, which have mature processes and are easy to manufacture. The insulating component 14 can also be a heat-shrink tubing, which is shrunk by heating and fitted onto the outer periphery of the adapter 13 and the rigid connector 12 or the outer periphery of the adapter 13 and the flexible connector 11.
[0056] According to some embodiments of this utility model, along the thickness direction of the flexible connector 11, the orthographic projection of the insulating member 14 on the flexible connector 11 does not coincide with the deformable portion 114 of the flexible connector 11. Specifically, the flexible connector 11 includes multiple metal foil layers 111, which are stacked. The two ends of the multiple metal foil layers 111 are respectively fixedly connected to form a first connecting portion 112 and a second connecting portion 113. A deformable portion 114 is formed between the first connecting portion 112 and the second connecting portion 113. The insulating member 14 extends along the length direction of the composite flexible busbar 1 and extends at most to the edge of the deformable portion 114 of the flexible connector 11, without covering the deformable portion 114 to avoid affecting the bending deformation of the flexible connector 11. That is, the insulating member 14 can be attached to the edge of the deformable portion 114 or spaced apart from the deformable portion 114.
[0057] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the flexible connector 11 is constructed as a soft copper busbar, the rigid connector 12 is constructed as a hard aluminum busbar, and the adapter 13 is constructed as a hard copper block.

A rigid connector 12 is electrically connected to the first electrical component, and a flexible connector 11 is electrically connected to the second electrical component. Because the battery device according to this utility model is equipped with the composite flexible busbar 1 of the above embodiments, the battery device has strong current handling capacity, reliable electrical performance, and the composite flexible busbar 1 can absorb tolerances and vibrations, thus resulting in a long service life for the battery device.
[0060] In some embodiments, the first electrical component and the second electrical component can be a battery pack or a power distribution component, respectively, or the first electrical component and the second electrical component can be two different battery packs. In this way, when the composite flexible busbar 1 connects the battery pack and the power distribution component, or when the composite flexible busbar 1 connects different battery packs, it can absorb the installation tolerances of the battery pack and the power distribution component, and can also absorb the vibration of the battery pack and the power distribution component during use, thereby improving the installation stability and thus improving the service life of the battery device.
[0061] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the battery device further includes a housing and a partition. The partition divides the internal space of the housing into at least two receiving cavities. The first electrical component and the second electrical component are respectively disposed in the two receiving cavities, and the composite flexible busbar 1 passes through the partition. Specifically, the housing includes a tray, and a crossbeam is provided inside the tray. The crossbeam divides the internal space of the tray into two receiving cavities, and the battery pack and the power distribution assembly can be installed in the receiving cavities respectively. Through holes are provided on the crossbeam, and the composite flexible busbar 1 passes through the through holes to electrically connect the battery pack and the power distribution assembly. This arrangement ensures the stable installation of the battery pack and the power distribution assembly, and the stable conductive connection of the composite flexible busbar 1, further improving the service life of the battery device.
[0062] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the composite flexible busbar 1 further includes an insulating member 14, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the adapter 13 and the rigid connector 12. The outer periphery of the insulating member 14 is provided with a slot, and the composite flexible busbar 1 is snapped into the inner wall of the through hole through the slot. This can provide insulation protection between the composite flexible busbar 1 and the crossbeam, prevent the rigid connector 12 from contacting the crossbeam and causing leakage current, thus improving the safety of the battery device.
