Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery connectors, and more specifically, to a high-strength, lightweight battery connector. Background Technology

[0002] Battery connectors are conductors used to carry current between components in a battery circuit. For example, they are connectors used for electrical connections between individual cells, between battery terminals and battery pack terminals, or between battery pack terminals and external circuits and auxiliary devices. A battery refers to a cup, tank, or other container or part of a composite container that contains an electrolyte solution and metal electrodes to generate current; it is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy and has positive and negative electrodes. With technological advancements, the term "battery" now generally refers to any small device capable of generating electrical energy.

[0003] Patent application number 202421494120.7 discloses a reinforced battery connector, including a connector body. A protective component is installed on the outer wall of the connector body, and protective components are installed on the outer walls of the protective component. A reinforcing component is installed on the inner bottom wall of the protective component. This utility model relates to the field of battery connector technology. This utility model provides insulation and shielding for the connector body through the cooperation of an insulating wrapping layer and anti-slip protrusions. The anti-slip protrusions increase friction with the hand during installation and use, making gripping more stable. After connecting the connector body to batteries, the movable protective cover moves the fixing seat and connecting rope, causing the protective cover to cover the outside of the connector body. The movable concave handle allows the reinforcing seat to insert into the U-shaped reinforcing rib's placement groove, thereby improving the overall strength of the connector body.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the movable protective cover drives the fixed seat and connecting rope to move, thereby placing the protective cover on the outside of the connector body. The movable concave handle can also drive the reinforcing seat to insert into the U-shaped reinforcing rib's placement groove, thus improving the overall strength of the connector body. However, the product has a fixed size, making it inconvenient to adjust when there is a positional deviation between the battery connection terminals, thereby reducing the product's connection effect. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a high-strength, lightweight battery connector, employing the following technical solution:

[0006] A high-strength lightweight battery connector includes a connector body, the connector body includes a mounting plate, and connecting plates are fixedly mounted on both sides of the mounting plate. The cross-section of the two connecting plates is Z-shaped. The side of the two connecting plates away from the mounting plate is provided with an assembly plate. The top of the two assembly plates is provided with an installation opening. A rotating component is provided between the opposite end of the two assembly plates and the opposite side of the connecting plate on the same side.

[0007] The mounting plate includes a support plate fixedly installed on one side of the two connecting plates, a movable plate between the two support plates, and a movable groove matching the movable plate is opened inside the opposite side of the two support plates.

[0008] The top and bottom of the movable plate are equipped with two symmetrically distributed stabilizing rods. The top and bottom of the two support plates are provided with stabilizing grooves that match the stabilizing rods on the same side. The stabilizing rods are fixedly installed with mounting blocks on the side closer to the movable plate, and the mounting blocks are fixedly connected to the side of the movable plate opposite to the stabilizing rods on the same side.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when using this product, the operator places the mounting openings on the top of the two assembly plates onto the sidewalls of the battery terminals, and then fixes them with existing fasteners. The two mounting openings are elliptical in shape, facilitating position adjustment and allowing the product to connect terminals at different locations. The operator can also pull the two assembly plates, causing them, along with the connecting plate and support plate on the same side, to move away from each other. This allows the movable plate to slide within the movable grooves on opposite sides of the two support plates. The cooperation of the support plate and the movable plate adjusts the length of the connector body, facilitating connection of battery terminals at different locations. When the two support plates move away from each other, the stabilizing rods installed at the top and bottom of the movable plate slide within the stabilizing grooves on the same side. The cooperation of multiple stabilizing rods strengthens the support plate, improving the robustness of the connector body. A rotating component is provided between the two assembly plates and the connecting plate on the same side, allowing the assembly plates to rotate and adjust their direction. This facilitates connection of misaligned battery terminals, improving the overall connection effect.

[0010] Furthermore, the rotating assembly includes sleeves fixedly installed on the top of the two connecting plates. Assembly plates are slidably fitted on the side walls of both sleeves. Bolts are provided inside the sleeves. Discs are slidably fitted on the side walls of the two bolts. Threaded grooves matching the bolts on the same side are opened on the top of both connecting plates.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the workers place the assembly plate onto the sleeve side wall installed on the top of the connecting plate. Then, the workers slide the disc onto the bolt side wall, so that the bolt enters the sleeve and engages with the screw groove opened on the top of the connecting plate, which can fix the assembly plate. The disc not only presses down on the assembly plate, but also facilitates the subsequent rotation of the assembly plate. By rotating the assembly plate, the direction of the assembly plate can be adjusted, which makes it easier for the connector body to connect the misaligned battery terminals, thus improving the product's performance.

[0012] Furthermore, multiple sets of ball bearings arranged in a ring array are rotatably installed at the bottom of the two discs, and mounting grooves are opened at the top of both assembly plates, with the ball bearings on the same side contacting the inner wall of the bottom end of the mounting groove on the same side.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, a ball bearing is installed at the bottom of the disc, which not only allows the disc to press the assembly plate, but also helps to maintain the rotation effect of the assembly plate.

[0014] Furthermore, grooves are provided on both sides of the two support plates, and sliding grooves are provided on the inner wall of the opposite side of the two grooves on the same side. The two sliding grooves on the same side are connected to the movable groove on the same side. Sliding blocks are slidably installed in the sliding grooves, and the sliding blocks are fixedly connected to the opposite side of the movable plate.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when the distance between the two support plates is adjusted, the moving plate slides in the movable groove on the same side, and the moving plate slides in the sliding groove on the same side with the slider. Through the cooperation of the slider and the sliding groove, it is beneficial to maintain the stability of the moving plate and to prevent the moving plate from leaving the movable groove on the same side, which is beneficial to maintaining the stability of the product splicing.

[0016] Furthermore, two symmetrically distributed positioning blocks are fixedly installed on the opposite side of the two sliders on the same side, and the side wall of the moving plate is provided with positioning grooves that match the positioning blocks on the same side.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when installing the slider, the worker places the slider in the same side groove, and makes the positioning block installed on the side wall of the slider engage with the positioning groove opened on the side wall of the moving plate. Through the cooperation of the positioning block and the positioning groove, the slider is positioned, which facilitates subsequent fastening with existing technology.

[0018] Furthermore, two symmetrically distributed guard plates are slidably installed in each groove, and the opposite side of the two guard plates on the same side is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the slider on the same side.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the top and bottom of the slider are equipped with guard plates, which slide in the groove on the same side. The cooperation of the two guard plates can restrict the slider and help maintain the stability of the slider's movement.

[0020] Furthermore, the side wall of the connector body is fitted with a protective sleeve, and two symmetrically distributed inserts are fixedly installed inside the bottom and top of both ends of the protective sleeve.

[0038] Please see Figure 1-7A high-strength, lightweight battery connector includes a connector body 1, which includes a mounting plate 13. Connecting plates 12 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the mounting plate 13. The cross-sections of the two connecting plates 12 are both "Z"-shaped. An assembly plate 11 is provided on the side of each connecting plate 12 away from the mounting plate 13. An installation opening is provided on the top of each assembly plate 11. The mounting plate 13 includes a support plate 131 fixedly mounted on the opposite side of the two connecting plates 12. A movable plate 132 is provided between the two support plates 131. An active groove 1312 matching the movable plate 132 is provided inside the opposite side of each of the two support plates 131. Grooves 5 are provided on both sides of each of the two support plates 131. Sliding grooves 51 are provided on the inner walls of the opposite side of the two grooves 5 on the same side. The two sliding grooves 51 on the same side are connected to the active grooves 1312 on the same side. A slider 511 is slidably mounted in each sliding groove 51, and the slider 511 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the movable plate 132.

[0039] When using this product, the operator places the mounting openings on the top of the two assembly plates 11 onto the side wall of the battery terminal, and then fixes them with fasteners of existing technology. The two mounting openings are elliptical, which makes it easy for the operator to adjust the position and connect the product to terminals at different positions. The operator can also pull the two assembly plates 11 to move the assembly plates 11, along with the connecting plate 12 and the support plate 131 on the same side, away from each other. This allows the movable plate 132 to slide inside the movable groove 1312 on the opposite side of the two support plates 131. Through the cooperation of the support plate 131 and the movable plate 132, the length of the connector body 1 can be adjusted, which facilitates the connection of the product to battery terminals at different positions.

[0040] When the distance between the two support plates 131 is adjusted, the movable plate 132 slides within the movable groove 1312 on the same side. The movable plate 132, along with the slider 511, slides within the sliding groove 51 on the same side. The cooperation between the slider 511 and the sliding groove 51 helps to maintain the stability of the movement of the movable plate 132 and helps to prevent the movable plate 132 from disengaging from the movable groove 1312 on the same side, thus helping to maintain the stability of the product splicing.

[0041] Two symmetrically distributed positioning blocks 5111 are fixedly installed on the opposite side of the two sliders 511 on the same side. The side wall of the moving plate 132 is provided with positioning grooves that match the positioning blocks 5111 on the same side. Two symmetrically distributed guard plates 6 are slidably installed in the grooves 5. The opposite side of the two guard plates 6 on the same side is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the sliders 511 on the same side.

[0042] When installing slider 511, the operator places slider 511 in the same-side groove 51 and makes the positioning block 5111 installed on the side wall of slider 511 engage with the positioning groove opened on the side wall of moving plate 132. Through the cooperation of positioning block 5111 and positioning groove, slider 511 is positioned, which facilitates subsequent fixation with fasteners of existing technology. There are guard plates 6 on the top and bottom of slider 511. The guard plates 6 slide in the same-side groove 5. Through the cooperation of the two guard plates 6, slider 511 can be restricted, which helps to maintain the stability of slider 511 movement.

[0043] A rotating assembly is provided between the opposite ends of the two assembly plates 11 and the opposite side of the connecting plate 12 on the same side. The rotating assembly includes a sleeve 121 fixedly installed on the top of the two connecting plates 12. The assembly plates 11 are slidably fitted on the side walls of the two sleeves 121. Bolts 3 are provided inside the sleeves 121. Discs 7 are slidably fitted on the side walls of the two bolts 3. The top of the two connecting plates 12 is provided with a threaded groove that matches the bolts 3 on the same side. Multiple sets of balls arranged in a ring array are rotatably installed at the bottom of the two discs 7. The top of the two assembly plates 11 is provided with a mounting groove 111. The balls on the same side are in contact with the inner wall of the bottom end of the mounting groove 111 on the same side.

[0044] The worker places the assembly plate 11 onto the side wall of the sleeve 121 installed on top of the connecting plate 12. Then, the worker slides the disc 7 onto the side wall of the bolt 3, so that the bolt 3 enters the sleeve 121 and engages with the screw groove opened on the top of the connecting plate 12, which can fix the assembly plate 11. The bottom of the disc 7 is rotatably installed with ball bearings, so that the disc 7 not only presses the assembly plate 11, but also helps to maintain the rotation effect of the assembly plate 11. By rotating the assembly plate 11, the direction of the assembly plate 11 can be adjusted, which makes it easier for the connector body 1 to connect the misaligned battery terminals, which helps to improve the product's performance.

[0045] The top and bottom of the movable plate 132 are provided with two symmetrically distributed stabilizing rods 4. The top and bottom of the two support plates 131 are provided with stabilizing grooves 1311 that match the stabilizing rods 4 on the same side. The side of the stabilizing rods 4 near the movable plate 132 is fixedly installed with mounting blocks 41. The side of the mounting blocks 41 away from the stabilizing rods 4 on the same side is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the movable plate 132. When the two support plates 131 move away from each other, the stabilizing rods 4 installed at the top and bottom of the movable plate 132 slide in the stabilizing grooves 1311 on the same side. Through the cooperation of multiple stabilizing rods 4, the support plates 131 are strengthened and stabilized, which helps to improve the rigidity of the connecting body 1.

[0046] The side wall of the connector body 1 is fitted with a protective sleeve 2. Two symmetrically distributed inserts 21 are fixedly installed inside the bottom and top of both ends of the protective sleeve 2. The top and bottom of the two assembly plates 11 are provided with slots that match the inserts 21 on the same side. The protective sleeve 2 is fitted with a protective sleeve 2 on the side wall of the connector body 1. The protective sleeve 2 is fixed by the inserts 21 and the slots provided at the top and bottom of the connector body 1. Part of the protective sleeve 2 is elastic, which makes it easy for the connector body 1 to adjust its length and rotate the assembly plates 11, which helps to maintain the protective effect of the protective sleeve 2.

[0047] The implementation principle of this utility model embodiment is as follows: When using the product, the operator places the mounting openings on the top of the two assembly plates 11 onto the side wall of the battery terminal, and then fixes them with fasteners of the prior art. The two mounting openings are elliptical in shape, which facilitates the operator's adjustment of the position and allows the product to connect terminals at different positions. The operator can also pull the two assembly plates 11, causing the assembly plates 11, along with the connecting plate 12 and the support plate 131 on the same side, to move away from each other. This allows the movable plate 132 to slide within the movable groove 1312 on the opposite side of the two support plates 131. Through the cooperation of the support plate 131 and the movable plate 132, adjustment is achieved. The length of the connector body 1 facilitates the connection of battery terminals at different positions. When the two support plates 131 are far apart, the stabilizing rods 4 installed at the top and bottom of the moving plate 132 slide within the stabilizing groove 1311 on the same side. Through the cooperation of multiple stabilizing rods 4, the support plates 131 are strengthened and stabilized, which helps to improve the rigidity of the connector body 1. A rotating component is provided between the two assembly plates 11 and the connecting plate 12 on the same side, which enables the assembly plates 11 to rotate, making it easy to adjust the direction of the assembly plates 11. This facilitates the connection of misaligned battery terminals and improves the connection effect of the product.

[0048] The above are all preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
