Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical equipment technology for new energy vehicles, and in particular to a high-voltage power distribution unit. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of new energy electric vehicles, as the market share of new energy vehicles increases year by year, the number and types of vehicle electrical appliances have surged, leading to increased vehicle circuit power, which in turn results in higher space utilization. Furthermore, the integration of vehicle load circuits is relatively high, which further leads to a gradual increase in the number of circuits required in vehicles. At the same time, the platform voltage of the entire vehicle has increased from 400V to 800V and then to 1000V.

[0003] Existing technology, such as the Chinese patent with publication number CN120149128A, discloses a vehicle-mounted miniature quick-replacement type I high-voltage dual fuse box. This box includes an upper cover assembly, within which a high-voltage fuse and an upper shielding layer cooperating with the high-voltage fuse are detachably connected. A lower cover assembly is detachably connected to the lower part of the upper cover assembly, containing a lower shielding layer. The high-voltage fuse is located within the shielding cavity formed by the upper and lower shielding layers. The lower cover assembly also contains terminals cooperating with the high-voltage fuse, with the terminals connected to wires extending from the lower cover assembly. Although this patent uses the upper and lower shielding layers to form an electromagnetic shielding scheme, completely enclosing the high-voltage fuse and terminals, thus solving the problem of poor shielding in existing fuse boxes, it still suffers from difficulties in fuse replacement and inconvenient installation.

Traditional connections involve connectors to the electric drive and the power distribution unit, which are connected via a copper wire with connectors at both ends. Existing automotive high-voltage power distribution units and traditional high-voltage splitters are typically bulky, occupying significant space within the vehicle and increasing costs. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a simple, compact high-voltage power distribution unit that can meet the requirements of a 1000V platform. Utility Model Content

The hole terminal 315 and welding terminal 320 are bolted to the PCBA assembly 302 and the insulating bracket 307. Due to the use of a wire-spinning exit method, and considering airtightness and electromagnetic shielding, the wiring harness assembly includes a tail clip 311, a sealing ring 312, an inner cobalt metal 313, a shielding ring 314, a hole-type terminal 315, a 50mm flat tail clip 316, a 50mm flat sealing ring 317, a 50mm flat inner metal clamp 318, a 50mm flat shielding ring 319, and a welding terminal 320, ensuring the safe operation of new energy vehicles in complex environments.

The second conductive sheet 3042 and the third conductive sheet 3044 are connected to the PCB board 3043 by soldering. The PCB board 3043 is copper-plated to ensure that the conductive sheets and the high-voltage fuses are connected in series.

[0033] like Figure 5 The diagram shows a high-voltage drive connector for a high-voltage power distribution unit that is compatible with multiple wire diameters, has a high protection level, and is highly integrated. The terminals of the high-voltage drive connector are directly connected to the electric drive. A slot is cut into the high-voltage drive connector, and the base sub-assembly is bolted to this slot. The perimeter of the slot is machined to ensure a high degree of flatness and airtightness.

[0034] Working Process: This high-voltage power distribution unit is compatible with multiple wire diameters, has a high protection level, and is highly integrated. It can accommodate 2.5mm², 4mm², and 6mm² wire diameters. The line is equipped with a high-voltage fuse; in the event of an accident and the fuse blows, only the PCBA sub-assembly needs to be replaced. Through its integrated structural design, this high-voltage power distribution unit solves the problems of traditional power distribution units being large in size and occupying significant space, making installation difficult. It also addresses the issue of existing high-voltage power distribution units being unable to adapt to 1000V platform voltages.
