[0028] It should be noted that the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying a relative importance or number of technical features depicted. Thus, features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. Furthermore, in the description of this disclosure, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more than two.

[0029] Hereinafter, an adapter module 1 and a battery module 2 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 4. The adapter module 1 is disposed on the battery module 2. The battery module 2 includes a battery core 50. The adapter module 1 can adapt the output signal and / or input signal of the battery core 50, for example, convert the current, and convert the current input and / or output between DC and AC, thereby enabling the battery core 50 to operate normally.

[0030] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, an adapter module 1 according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present disclosure includes a support member 10, a low-voltage plug member 20, a sampling assembly 30, and an electrode lead piece 40. The support member 10 may realize a support function. In general, the support member 10 is disposed on the battery core 50 to facilitate a connection between the entire adapter module 1 and the battery core 50. The low-voltage plug member 20 is mainly configured to plug into an external component, so that the battery core 50 can transmit a signal to the external component. The support member 10 may be a plastic support member 10.

[0031] The sampling assembly 30 may sample the battery core 50. Specifically, the sampling assembly 30 may be configured to perform voltage sampling and / or temperature sampling. In this way, the sampling assembly 30 can collect the voltage and temperature information of the battery core 50 in real time, and compare the collected voltage and temperature information with normal values ​​to protect the battery core 50 and ensure the normal operation of the battery core 50. Indeed, the sampling assembly 30 is not limited to collecting the voltage and temperature information of the battery core 50, and may also collect, for example, current information between the battery core 50. In addition, the electrode lead piece 40 may be connected to the battery core 50 to facilitate electrical connection between the battery core 50 and other components.

[0032] The low-voltage plug member 20 is provided on the support member 10 as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. One end of the sampling assembly 30 is provided on the support member 10. One end of the sampling assembly 30 is electrically connected to the low-voltage plug member 20. The electrode lead piece 40 is provided on the support member 10, separated from the low-voltage plug member 20, and electrically connected to one end of the sampling assembly 30. That is, the electrode lead piece 40 is provided on the support member 10, connected to the battery core 50, and electrically connected to one end of the sampling assembly 30. In this way, the sampling assembly 30 is connected to the battery core 50 by the electrode lead piece 40 and can sample the battery core 50, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the battery core 50. One end of the sampling assembly 30 is provided on the support member 10, and one end of the sampling assembly 30 is electrically connected to the low-voltage plug member 20. In this way, the low-voltage plug member 20 can be further electrically connected to the battery core 50 by the sampling assembly 30, and therefore can transmit a signal to the battery core 50. In addition, by separating the electrode draw-out piece 40 from the low-voltage plug member 20, arrangement can be made easier, and interference between the electrode draw-out piece 40 and the low-voltage plug member 20 can be prevented from affecting the normal operation of the adapter module 1.

[0033] Therefore, since the low-voltage plug member 20, one end of the sampling assembly 30, the electrode lead piece 40, and the low-voltage plug member 20 are all provided on the support member 10, it is possible to improve the integration of the adapter module 1, reduce unnecessary components, and reduce the manufacturing cost of the adapter module 1. In addition, such an arrangement facilitates insertion and engagement between the adapter module 1 and external components, and allows the sampling assembly 30 to better sample the battery cores 50.

[0034] Optionally, the electrode lead piece 40 is snap-fitted to the support member 10, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. The electrode lead piece 40 and the support member 10 can be fitted together in a snap-connection manner. In this way, the connection between the electrode lead piece 40 and the support member 10 can be made stronger and more reliable. In addition, with the snap-connection manner, it is easier and more convenient to assemble the electrode lead piece 40 and the support member 10, thereby improving the assembly efficiency.

[0035] Specifically, as shown in Figs. 1 to 3, the support member 10 has an outer frame 11, a support 12, and a positioning body 13. The support 12 is disposed midway through the outer frame 11. The positioning body 13 is disposed at an edge of the outer frame 11. The positioning bodies 13 are located on both sides of the support 12. The electrode drawn piece 40 includes a positive electrode drawn piece 41 and a negative electrode drawn piece 42. A part of the positive electrode drawn piece 41 and a part of the negative electrode drawn piece 42 are positioned and fitted into the corresponding positioning bodies 13. The other part of the positive electrode drawn piece 41 and the other part of the negative electrode drawn piece 42 are snap-fitted into both side surfaces of the support 12, respectively.

[0036] The outer frame 11 can realize the mounting function. The support 12 is the main part of the support member 10 and can realize the supporting function. And the positioning body 13 can realize the positioning function. The positive electrode pull-out piece 41 and the negative electrode pull-out piece 42 are respectively connected to the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the battery core 50, and the battery core 50 can transmit signals. The support 12 is disposed in the center of the outer frame 11. In this way, the outer frame 11 leaves mounting space on both sides of the support 12. And the positioning body 13 is disposed on the edge of the outer frame 11, and the positioning body 13 is respectively located on both sides of the support 12. In this way, when the positive electrode pull-out piece 41 and the negative electrode pull-out piece 42 are mounted, at least a part of them needs to be positioned and fitted with the corresponding positioning body 13. In this way, it is convenient to align and mount the positive electrode pull-out piece 41 and the negative electrode pull-out piece 42, and the positions of the positive electrode pull-out piece 41 and the negative electrode pull-out piece 42 can be fixed to a certain extent. Additionally, another part of the positive electrode drawn piece 41 and another part of the negative electrode drawn piece 42 are further snap-fitted to both side surfaces of the support body 12. In this manner, the positive electrode drawn piece 41 and the negative electrode drawn piece 42 can be further fixed, so that the connection between the positive electrode drawn piece 41 and the support member 10 and the connection between the negative electrode drawn piece 42 and the support member 10 becomes more stable and reliable.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the electrode lead piece 40 further includes an inner connection piece 43, a connection piece 44, and an outer connection piece 45. The connection piece 44 is bent and connected between the inner connection piece 43 and the outer connection piece 45. The outer connection piece 45 is positioned and fitted to the positioning body 13. The first snap connection piece 46 is disposed on the inner connection piece 43, and the second snap connection piece 14 is disposed on the side surface of the support 12. The first snap connection piece 46 is snap-fitted to the second snap connection piece 14. The connection piece 44 can realize a connection function. The connection piece 44 is connected between the inner connection piece 43 and the outer connection piece 45. In this way, the electrode lead piece 40 can be connected as a whole, and the overall installation and arrangement of the electrode lead piece 40 is facilitated. In addition, the connection piece 44 is bent and arranged. In this way, the structure of the electrode lead piece 40 can be adapted to the structure of the support member 10, and the electrode lead piece 40 can be fixed to the support member 10 better.

[0038] The outer connection piece 45 is positioned and fitted into the positioning body 13. In this way, it is convenient to align and attach the electrode lead piece 40 and the support member 10, a foolproof function can be realized, and the positions of the positive electrode lead piece 41 and the negative electrode lead piece 42 can be fixed to a certain extent. The first snap connection piece 46 is disposed on the inner connection piece 43, and the second snap connection piece 14 is disposed on the side of the support 12. The first snap connection piece 46 can be snapped into the second snap connection piece 14, so that the electrode lead piece 40 can be more firmly installed on the support member 10, and the electrode lead piece 40 can operate more stably.

[0039] Also, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, at least two first snap connection pieces 46 are provided. The at least two first snap connection pieces 46 are located at both ends of the inner connection piece 43 along the length direction, respectively. At least two second snap connection pieces 14 are provided. The at least two second snap connection pieces 14 are snap-fitted to the at least two first snap connection pieces 46 in a one-to-one correspondence. At least two first snap connection pieces 46 and at least two second snap connection pieces 14 are provided. Furthermore, the at least two first snap connection pieces 46 are located at both ends of the inner connection piece 43 along the length direction, respectively. The at least two second snap connection pieces 14 are snap-fitted to the at least two first snap connection pieces 46 in a one-to-one correspondence. Both ends of the inner connection piece 43 along the length direction can be stably provided on the support member 10, thereby ensuring that the electrode lead piece 40 is stably provided on the support member 10.

[0040] As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the first snap connection piece 46 is a snap groove provided at the end of the inner connection piece 43, and the second snap connection piece 14 is a snap protrusion disposed on the side of the support 12. The snap protrusion is snap-fitted into the snap groove. The first snap connection piece 46 is configured as a snap groove, and the second snap connection piece 14 is configured as a snap protrusion. The snap protrusion is snap-connected into the snap groove, so that the electrode lead piece 40 can be fixed to the support member 10. In addition, the snap protrusion and the snap groove have a simple structure and are easy to process. In addition, the snap protrusion and the snap groove are snap-fitted during assembly, making the operation easier and more convenient.

[0041] 1 and 3, the third snap connection piece 15 is disposed on the side surface of the support 12. The third snap connection piece 15 is snap-connected to the end of the outer connection piece 45 connected to the connection piece 44. The third snap connection piece 15 is disposed on the side surface of the support 12, and the third snap connection piece 15 is snap-connected to the end of the outer connection piece 45 connected to the connection piece 44. In this manner, the electrode lead piece 40 can be further fixed, the position of the electrode lead piece 40 is defined, and rattling or displacement of the electrode lead piece 40 during operation can be prevented, allowing the electrode lead piece 40 to operate more stably.

[0042] Indeed, as shown in FIG. 3, a groove 16 is provided on the side surface of the support 12, and the third snap connection piece 15 is an elastic snap. The elastic snap is disposed in the groove 16. It will be understood that when the electrode lead piece 40 is assembled to the support member 10, the third snap connection piece 15 must be pressed first. The groove 16 is provided on the side surface of the support 12, and the third snap connection piece 15 is an elastic snap. The elastic snap is elastically deformable. When the third snap connection piece 15 is pressed, the third snap connection piece 15 can stay in the groove 16 for avoidance, so that the electrode lead piece 40 can be better assembled in the support member 10. After the electrode lead piece 40 is assembled to the support member 10, the pressure on the third snap connection piece 15 is released. In this case, the third snap connection piece 15 automatically returns to its original position due to its elastic performance, so that the position of the electrode lead piece 40 is limited by the snap connection.

[0043] Also, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, the first positioning piece 47 is disposed on the outer connection piece 45, and the second positioning piece 17 is disposed on the positioning body 13. One of the first positioning piece 47 and the second positioning piece 17 is a positioning post, and the other of the first positioning piece 47 and the second positioning piece 17 is a positioning hole. The positioning post fits into the positioning hole. In other words, one of the outer connection piece 45 and the positioning body 13 is provided with a positioning post, and the other of the outer connection piece 45 and the positioning body 13 is provided with a positioning hole. The positioning post fits into the positioning hole. In this way, the positioning function and the guiding function can be realized, and as a result, the outer connection piece 45 can be assembled more accurately to the positioning body 13 to realize a foolproof function. Also, a certain degree of fixing function can be realized by the positioning fit between the positioning post and the positioning hole, and the electrode lead piece 40 is fixed to the support member 10.

[0044] According to an optional embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the low-voltage plug member 20 and the support member 10 are integrally formed structural members, or the support member 10 is provided with a holder 18, and the low-voltage plug member 20 is fixed to the holder 18.

In this way, the connection between the low-voltage plug member 20 and the support member 10 is stronger, and the reliability of the connection between the low-voltage plug member 20 and the support member 10 can be improved. Alternatively, the support member 10 is provided with a holder 18. The low-voltage plug member 20 may first be pre-fixed to the holder 18 in a plug manner, and then the low-voltage plug member 20 is fixed to the holder 18 by soldering or thermal melting. In this way, it is convenient to manufacture the low-voltage plug member 20 and the support member 10, and is less likely to interfere with other components during the assembly of the low-voltage plug member 20 and the support member 10.

[0045] Further, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the sampling assembly 30 includes a sampling line 31 and an electrical connection board 32.

The electrical connection board 32 is electrically connected to the low-voltage plug member 20, and the electrical connection board 32 is also electrically connected to the electrode lead piece 40. In this way, the electrical connection board 32 can control both the low-voltage plug member 20 and the battery core 50, and converts signals transmitted between the low-voltage plug member 20 and the battery core 50 to enable the battery core 50 to output and / or input required signals, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the battery core 50.
