Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery technology, and in particular to battery boxes and battery devices. Background Technology
[0002] In existing battery pack designs, a common approach is to install positive and negative output connectors on the end plate of the battery box, and then connect the positive and negative terminals of the battery cells inside the battery box to the corresponding output connectors via wires.
[0003] While this design can achieve current output, it has significant drawbacks in practical applications. Because the positive and negative wires need to be led out from the cell stacking direction and connected to the connectors on the end plate respectively, the wire layout is complex and the paths are redundant and cross. This not only occupies a lot of installation space, but also easily interferes with other components in the battery box (such as heat dissipation structures or sensors), causing wiring chaos.
[0004] Therefore, a battery box is urgently needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a battery box and battery device to solve the problem that connecting the positive and negative terminals of the battery cells inside the battery box to the corresponding output connectors by wires results in a complex wire layout, redundant and intersecting paths, which not only occupies a lot of installation space, but also easily interferes with other components (such as heat dissipation structures or sensors) inside the battery box, causing messy wiring.

[0009] A conductive busbar assembly includes a connecting conductive busbar, a positive conductive busbar, and a negative conductive busbar. The connecting conductive busbar connects multiple individual cells of the battery module in series or parallel. The positive conductive busbar connects the positive output terminal of the battery module to the positive terminal connector. The negative conductive busbar connects the negative output terminal of the battery module to the negative terminal connector. The positive terminal connector and the negative terminal connector are used to connect electrical equipment.
[0010] In another aspect, this invention also provides a battery device, including the battery box in any of the above embodiments.
[0011] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] The battery box includes a housing, an output structure, and a busbar assembly. The housing includes an end plate with a through hole along a first horizontal direction. A battery module is positioned on one side of the end plate along the first horizontal direction. The battery module is located on one side of the end plate along the first horizontal direction. The output structure includes a positive terminal and a negative terminal, which pass through the through hole and are fixed to the end plate. The busbar assembly includes a connecting busbar, a positive busbar, and a negative busbar. The connecting busbar connects multiple individual cells of the battery module in series or parallel. The positive busbar connects the positive output terminal of the battery module to the positive terminal, and the negative busbar connects the negative output terminal of the battery module to the negative terminal. The positive and negative terminals are used to connect electrical equipment. This battery box connects multiple individual cells in the battery module in series using the connecting busbar, connects the positive output terminal of the battery module to the positive terminal using the positive busbar, and connects the negative output terminal of the battery module to the negative terminal using the negative busbar. The conductive busbar is a rigid metal component that can be precisely stamped or bent into a fixed shape, replacing the messy layout of soft wires. It enables a straight connection between the battery cell and the end plate connector, reduces cross wiring, minimizes space occupation, and effectively avoids interference with other components in the battery box (such as heat dissipation structures or sensors).

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0033] The battery box refers to a closed or semi-closed structure made of materials such as metal and plastic. It is the physical carrier of the battery module 2. Its design and manufacturing must meet the safety, reliability and functionality requirements of the battery pack in different usage scenarios.
[0034] The housing 1 provides installation space for the battery module 2, BMS board, cooling system and conductive busbars, and fixes these components inside the housing 1 through reasonable structural design, ensuring that they maintain a relatively stable position during the operation of the battery device, and avoiding damage to components or loosening of connections due to vibration, impact and other factors.
[0035] Positive terminal 31 and negative terminal 32 are used for the positive and negative terminals of the output battery box.
[0036] The battery module 2 is formed by connecting multiple battery cells with similar capacity and internal resistance in series or in parallel, including a positive output electrode 21 and a negative output electrode 22.
[0037] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this embodiment provides a battery box, which includes a box body 1, an output structure 3 and a conductive busbar. The box body 1 includes a shell with a receiving cavity and an end plate 11 disposed in the receiving cavity. The end plate 11 divides the receiving cavity into a first cavity and a second cavity arranged sequentially along a first horizontal direction X. The end plate 11 is provided with a through hole 111 along the first horizontal direction X, and the through hole 111 connects the first cavity and the second cavity.
[0038] The battery module 2 is disposed on one side of the end plate 11 along the first horizontal direction X, and then disposed in the first cavity. The battery module 2 includes multiple rows of single cells arranged sequentially along the first horizontal direction X.
[0039] The output structure 3 includes a positive terminal 31 and a negative terminal 32. The positive terminal 31 and the negative terminal 32 are inserted through the through hole 111 and fixed to the end plate 11, so that one end of the positive terminal 31 is located in the first cavity and the other end is located in the second cavity, and one end of the negative terminal 32 is located in the first cavity and the other end is located in the second cavity.
[0040] The conductive busbar assembly includes a connecting conductive busbar 41, a positive conductive busbar 42, and a negative conductive busbar 43. The connecting conductive busbar 41 connects multiple individual cells of the battery module 2 in series. The positive terminal of one individual cell not connected to the connecting conductive busbar 41 is the output positive terminal 21, and the negative terminal of another individual cell not connected to the connecting conductive busbar 41 is the output negative terminal 22. The positive conductive busbar 42 is used to connect the output positive terminal 21 of the battery module 2 to the positive terminal connector 31, and the negative conductive busbar 43 is used to connect the output negative terminal 22 of the battery module 2 to the negative terminal connector 32.
[0041] The battery box connects multiple individual cells in the battery module 2 in series via connecting busbar 41. A positive busbar 42 connects the positive output terminal 21 of the battery module 2 to the positive terminal connector 31, and a negative busbar 43 connects the negative output terminal 22 of the battery module 2 to the negative terminal connector 32. The busbars are rigid metal components that can be precisely stamped or bent into a fixed shape, replacing the messy layout of flexible wires. This achieves linear connections, reduces cross-wiring, minimizes space occupation, and effectively avoids interference with other components (such as heat dissipation structures or sensors) within the box 1.
[0042] Optionally, the busbar assembly is made of copper; in other embodiments, it is made of aluminum.
[0043] Optionally, the positive electrode busbar 42 includes a positive electrode connection portion 421 and a positive electrode bending portion 422. The positive electrode connection portion 421 is connected to the output positive electrode 21, and the positive electrode bending portion 422 is disposed between the battery module 2 and the end plate 11 and connected to the positive electrode connector 31. The negative electrode busbar 43 includes a negative electrode connection portion 431 and a negative electrode bending portion 432. The negative electrode connection portion 431 is connected to the output negative electrode 22, and the negative electrode bending portion 432 is disposed between the battery module 2 and the end plate 11 and connected to the negative electrode connector 32. In this embodiment, the positive electrode connection portion 421 is responsible for connecting the output positive electrode 21 to the positive electrode bending portion 422. The positive electrode bending portion 422 itself is bent, thereby enabling the positive electrode bending portion 422 to connect to the positive electrode connector 31. The negative terminal connection part 431 is responsible for connecting the output negative terminal 22 to the negative terminal bending part 432. The negative terminal bending part 432 bends itself so that it can be connected to the negative terminal connector 32.
[0044] Optionally, the output positive electrode 21 is the positive electrode of a single cell of the battery module 2 near the end plate 11. The distance between the output positive electrode 21 and the end plate 11 along the first horizontal direction X is a mm, where 190 mm ≤ a mm ≤ 500 mm. The dimension of the positive electrode connection portion 421 along the first horizontal direction X is b mm, where 120 mm ≤ b mm ≤ 420 mm, and 10 mm ≤ a mm - b mm ≤ 80 mm. In this embodiment, this arrangement ensures that the positive electrode bending portion 422 is located precisely between the end plate 11 and the battery module 2, facilitating the connection between the positive electrode connector 31 between the end plate 11 and the battery module 2 and the positive electrode bending portion 422.
[0045] Optionally, the positive electrode bending portion 422 is fixedly connected to the end of the positive electrode connection portion 421 away from the output positive electrode 21 along the first horizontal direction X. The positive electrode bending portion 422 is perpendicular to the positive electrode connection portion 421 and inserted between the end plate 11 and the battery module 2. In this embodiment, the positive electrode bending portion 422 is perpendicular to the positive electrode connection portion 421, thereby allowing the positive electrode bending portion 422 to be inserted into the gap between the end plate 11 and the battery module 2, so that the positive electrode bending portion 422 can be opposite to the positive electrode connector 31.
[0046] Optionally, the positive electrode bending portion 422 includes a first positive electrode plate 4221 and a second positive electrode plate 4222. One end of the first positive electrode plate 4221 is connected to the positive electrode connection portion 421. The first positive electrode plate 4221 extends in the vertical direction Z. One end of the second positive electrode plate 4222 is fixedly connected to the other end of the first positive electrode plate 4221. The second positive electrode plate 4222 extends in the second horizontal direction Y. The first horizontal direction X and the second horizontal direction Y are perpendicular. In this embodiment, the first positive electrode plate 4221 extends in the vertical direction Z so that the second positive electrode plate 4222 and the positive electrode connector 31 are located at the same vertical height. The second positive electrode plate 4222 extends in the second horizontal direction Y so that the second positive electrode plate 4222 can be opposite to the positive electrode connector 31 in the first horizontal direction X, so that the positive electrode connector 31 and the second positive electrode plate 4222 are fixedly connected by bolts.
[0047] Optionally, the output negative electrode 22 is the negative electrode of a single cell in the battery module 2 away from the end plate 11. The negative electrode connection part 431 includes a negative electrode clearance plate 4311 and a negative electrode connection plate 4312. The negative electrode connection plate 4312 is disposed on the top wall or peripheral wall of the battery module 2 along the first horizontal direction X, and the negative electrode connection plate 4312 is spaced apart from the electrodes and the connecting conductive busbar 41 of the battery module 2. One end of the negative electrode clearance plate 4311 is connected to the output negative electrode 22, and the other end of the negative electrode clearance plate 4311 is connected to one end of the negative electrode connection plate 4312. The other end of the negative electrode connection plate 4312 is connected to the negative electrode bending plate. In this embodiment, since the negative electrode connection plate 4312 needs to extend from the side of the battery module 2 away from the end plate 11 to the side close to the end plate 11, the negative electrode connection plate 4312 needs to maintain a distance from the positive electrode, negative electrode and connecting conductive busbar 41 of the single cell to avoid short circuits and other situations. Therefore, the position of the negative electrode connecting plate 4312 on the battery module 2 is adjusted by the negative electrode clearance plate 4311 so that the negative electrode connecting plate 4312 is spaced apart from the electrodes and the connecting conductive bus 41 of the battery module 2 respectively.
[0048] Optionally, the negative electrode avoidance plate 4311 is a 180° arc plate. The negative electrode avoidance plate 4311 is attached to the side wall of the battery module 2 away from the end plate 11, so that one end of the negative electrode avoidance plate 4311 is connected to the output negative electrode 22, and the other end of the negative electrode avoidance plate 4311 is connected to the negative electrode connection plate 4312 on the top wall of the battery module 2.
[0049] Optionally, the length of the negative electrode connecting plate 4312 along the first horizontal direction X is cmm, where 2020mm ≤ cmm ≤ 2350mm, and the distance between the output negative electrode 22 and the end plate 11 along the first horizontal direction X is dmm, where 2030mm ≤ dmm ≤ 2360mm, and 10mm ≤ dmm - cmm ≤ 100mm. In this embodiment, this arrangement ensures that the negative electrode bending portion 432 is located precisely between the end plate 11 and the battery module 2, facilitating the connection between the negative electrode connector 32 between the end plate 11 and the battery module 2 and the negative electrode bending portion 432.
[0050] Optionally, the negative electrode bending portion 432 is fixedly connected to the other end of the negative electrode connecting plate 4312, and the negative electrode bending portion 432 is perpendicular to the negative electrode connecting plate 4312 and inserted between the end plate 11 and the battery module 2. In this embodiment, the negative electrode bending portion 432 is perpendicular to the negative electrode connecting portion 431, so that the negative electrode bending portion 432 is inserted in the gap between the end plate 11 and the battery module 2, so that the negative electrode bending portion 432 can be opposite to the negative electrode connector 32.
[0051] Optionally, the negative electrode bending portion 432 includes a first negative electrode plate 4321 and a second negative electrode plate 4322. One end of the first negative electrode plate 4321 is connected to the negative electrode connecting plate 4312. The first negative electrode plate 4321 extends in the vertical direction Z. One end of the second negative electrode plate 4322 is fixedly connected to the other end of the first negative electrode plate 4321. The second negative electrode plate 4322 extends in the second horizontal direction Y. In this embodiment, the first negative electrode plate 4321 extends in the vertical direction Z so that the second negative electrode plate 4322 and the negative electrode connector 32 are located at the same vertical height. The second negative electrode plate 4322 extends in the second horizontal direction Y so that the second negative electrode plate 4322 can be opposite to the negative electrode connector 32 in the first horizontal direction X, so that the negative electrode connector 32 and the second negative electrode plate 4322 are fixedly connected by bolts.
[0052] Optionally, the distance between the positive electrode bending portion 422 and the negative electrode bending portion 432 along the second horizontal direction Y is emm, where emm ≥ 10mm. In this embodiment, if the distance between the positive electrode bending portion 422 and the negative electrode bending portion 432 is too small, it is easy for the positive and negative electrodes to come into direct contact or form a short circuit through conductive materials, generating a large instantaneous current. This can not only damage the battery itself but may also cause safety accidents such as fire and explosion. At the same time, an excessively small distance will cause an abnormal increase in the electric field strength between the electrodes, leading to abnormal electrochemical reactions, resulting in problems such as increased battery self-discharge, rapid capacity decay, shortened cycle life, and increased internal resistance. Therefore, the distance between the positive electrode bending portion 422 and the negative electrode bending portion 432 along the second horizontal direction Y is emm ≥ 10mm to avoid short circuits and abnormal electric field problems.

The other end of the positive electrode connecting piece 443 is disposed in the U-shaped groove, and the positive electrode connection portion 421 is disposed in the U-shaped groove and is stacked with the positive electrode connecting piece 443.

The negative electrode connecting portion 431 is stacked with the negative electrode connecting piece 453. The negative electrode bolt 452 passes through the negative electrode connecting portion 431 and the negative electrode connecting piece 453 and is screwed to the negative electrode support 451. In this embodiment, the negative electrode support 451 is fixed to the battery cell where the output negative electrode 22 is located by screwing or snapping.
