[0072] The following will be combined with the specific embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0073] As shown in FIG1-16 , a high-low voltage integrated BDU of the present invention includes a connector, a first electrical component 3 , a second electrical component 4 , a shell 5 and a plurality of high-voltage copper busbars 6 .
[0074] The connector is used to connect the first electrical component 3 and the second electrical component 4 to achieve low-voltage control and high-voltage collection inside the BDU. The connector includes a PCB board 1 and an integrated component 2.
[0075] The PCB board 1 is used to carry the first electrical component 3. There are multiple PCB boards 1. The first electrical component 3 is fixedly mounted on the PCB board 1. By utilizing its hard texture, the first electrical component 3 can be firmly installed and fixed to prevent it from loosening during use.
[0076] The integrated component 2 is used to achieve conduction between the first electrical component 3 and the second electrical component 4. The integrated component 2 includes a plastic plate 21 and a plurality of conductive strips 22 arranged at intervals. The plastic plate 21 is made of a tough plastic material. The conductive strips 22 are fixedly arranged in the plastic plate 21, and their two ends extend out of the plastic plate 21 and are fixedly arranged on the second electrical component 4 or the PCB board 1. The end of the conductive strip 22 is electrically connected to the second electrical component 4 or electrically connected to the first electrical component 3 through the PCB board 1 (using the copper traces etched on the PCB board); because the plastic plate 21 has a certain toughness, when assembling the BDU or during the use of the BDU, the integrated component 2 can absorb the internal stress of the BDU, thereby avoiding the falling off of the connection ends of the integrated component 2 and the first electrical component 3 and the second electrical component 4, thereby improving the fixing firmness of the integrated component 2 and ensuring the normal operation of the BDU.
[0077] The integrated component 2 is composed of a plurality of conductive bars 22 and a plastic plate 21. When processing the integrated component 2, it is usually achieved by punching out the plurality of conductive bars 22 from the copper plate one by one, then positioning the plurality of mutually independent conductive bars 22, and finally performing injection molding on the outside of the conductive bars 22. This production process is relatively cumbersome (the positioning operation of the conductive bars 22 is complicated and not easy to fix), and the conductive bars 22 are compounded with high and low voltage signal connection lines. The intervals between the high and low voltage lines are small, and there is a risk of short circuit. In view of this, an impingement plate 23 can be set in the integrated component 2, so that a plurality of impingement plates 23 are integrally formed between two adjacent conductive bars 22, so that the plurality of conductive bars 22 can be punched out integrally on the same copper plate, and During this punching process, the shape, position and spacing of the conductive strips 22 are fixed by the engaging plate 23, eliminating the tedious processing steps such as placement and positioning, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the integrated component 2; since the engaging plate 23 will cause conduction between the conductive strips 22, it is necessary to cut the engaging plate 23 in the subsequent processing steps. Preferably, a plurality of insulating holes 201 are opened on the plastic plate 21 so that the plurality of engaging plates 23 are cut off by the insulating holes 201 to ensure the insulation of the conductive strips 22. Insulating glue 24 should also be provided in the integrated component 2, and the insulating glue 24 should be filled in the plurality of insulating holes 201. This can not only improve the insulation performance between the conductive strips 22, but also seal the engaging plate 23 to prevent it from corrosion.
[0078] The conducting strip 22 combines the low-voltage control line and the high-voltage acquisition line. Although the rules for connecting the electrical components are different, at least one end of the conducting strip 22 is fixed to the PCB board 1 and electrically connected. If one end of the conducting strip 22 is fixed to the PCB board 1 and electrically connected, and the other end is fixed to the second electrical component 4 and electrically connected, then the conducting strip 22 includes a strip 221 and a connecting piece 222. The strip 221 is fixedly arranged in the plastic plate 21, and its two ends extend out of the plastic plate 21. The connecting piece 222 is integrally formed at one end of the strip 221. The connecting piece 222 is connected to the second electrical component 4. The gas component 4 is fixed and electrically connected, and the end of the tape 221 away from the connecting piece 222 is fixed and electrically connected to the PCB board 1. As shown in Figure 4, several conductive strips 22 with connecting pieces 222 in the figure belong to this situation. The connecting piece 222 and the end of the tape 221 away from the connecting piece 222 are both provided with a Z-shaped bending portion 202 by bending. The side of the connecting piece 222 close to the second electrical component 4 is in contact with the second electrical component 4 fixed and electrically connected thereto; as another case, if the two ends of the conductive strip 22 are respectively fixed to the two PCB boards 1 and electrically connected The conductive strip 22 includes a wire strip 221, which is fixedly arranged in the plastic plate 21, and its two ends extend out of the plastic plate 21. Both ends of the wire strip 221 are fixed to the PCB board 1 and electrically connected. As shown in FIG4 , the conductive strip 22 without the connecting piece 222 has a Z-shaped bending portion 202 at both ends of the wire strip 221 by pressing and bending. With this structural method, not only can the soldering installation space occupied by the integrated component 2 on the PCB board 1 be reduced, but the contact area between the integrated component 2 and the second electrical component 4 can also be increased, thereby improving the fixing strength of the two. ; The setting of the bending portion 202 not only allows the conductive strip 22 to absorb the internal stress of its connection end, but also allows multiple wire strips 221 to be flush with one side away from the PCB board 1, that is, the middle positions of multiple wire strips 221 are in the same plane, which reduces the space occupied by the integrated component 2 and improves the compactness of the internal structure of the BDU. At the same time, by setting bending portions 202 of different heights on each connecting piece 222, different connecting pieces 222 can be installed at different heights in the BDU, thereby adapting to the different heights of each second electrical component 4.
[0079] Furthermore, as shown in FIG16 , if two PCB boards 1 are electrically connected to the same second electrical component 4 through a conductive bar 22 (the two conductive bars 22 connected by the first connecting piece 222 at the bottom and right in the figure), the two wire strips 221 in the two conductive bars 22 are integrally formed with the same connecting piece 222, and two bending portions 202 are provided on this connecting piece 222 to save materials and improve the compactness of the BDU structure.
[0080] The first electrical component 3 includes a cable connector 31, a pre-charging resistor 32 and a pre-charging relay 33. Under this working condition, two PCB boards 1 are provided, the cable connector 31 is fixedly arranged on one of the PCB boards 1, and the pre-charging resistor 32 and the pre-charging relay 33 are fixedly arranged on the other PCB board 1; and the cable connector 31, the pre-charging resistor 32 and the pre-charging relay 33 are electrically connected to the conductive strip 22 through the PCB board 1. Since the cable connector 31 is prone to shaking when plugging and unplugging with the external line, it is necessary to use the PCB board 1 to strengthen its fixing firmness. Compared with other electrical components, the pre-charging resistor 32 and the pre-charging relay 33 do not require too many line connections, and only need to be connected in series. Therefore, the PCB board 1 is also used to support and fix the two, thereby ensuring the cable connector 31, the pre-charging resistor 32 and the pre-charging relay 33. The firmness of the fixation during use is guaranteed to prevent them from shaking.
[0081] The second electrical component 4 includes a fuse 41 , a main positive relay 42 , a fast charge positive relay 43 , a main negative relay 44 , a Shunt shunt 45 and a plurality of terminals 46 .
[0082] The shell 5 is the main frame of the BDU, which is used to carry and protect other components. The connecting parts and the second electrical parts 4 are all fixedly arranged on the shell 5, that is, the PCB board 1, the integrated part 2, the fuse 41, the main positive relay 42, the fast charging positive relay 43, the main negative relay 44 and the Shunt shunt 45 are all fixedly arranged on the shell 5; specifically, in the prior art, the electrical parts and the PCB board 1 are usually fixed by bolts, and since the wire tape 221 and the connecting piece 222 are embedded in the plastic plate 21, the structural strength of the protruding position of the end thereof is relatively fragile. When the bolts are tightened, this torque will drive the integrated part 2 to rotate and cause damage to it. In order to solve this problem, it is preferred to open at least two fixing holes 101 on the PCB board 1 and the plastic plate 21, and At least one fixing hole 101 is provided on the sheet 222 (the larger the area, the more the number of fixing holes 101 is provided), and a plurality of heat anchor rods 51 are integrally formed on the second electrical component 4 and the shell 5, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, so that the positions of the plurality of heat anchor rods 51 correspond one-to-one to the positions of the plurality of fixing holes 101, so that the PCB board 1 and the plastic plate 21 are anchored to the shell 5 through the fixing holes 101 and the heat anchor rods 51, and the connecting sheet 222 and the second electrical component 4 are anchored to the heat anchor rods 51 through the fixing holes 101. The anchoring is specifically implemented by allowing the heat anchor rod 51 to pass through the fixing hole 101, and then causing the heat anchor rod 51 to deform due to heat, so that the deformed heat anchor rod 51 is used to support and fix the PCB board 1, the plastic plate 21 or the connecting sheet 222. The operation process does not generate torque, and thus there is no torque risk.
[0083] The high-voltage copper busbar 6 is used to achieve high-voltage electrical conduction inside the BDU. The high-voltage copper busbar 6 is fixedly arranged in the shell 5 and is located on the side of the second electrical component 4 away from the PCB board 1. As shown in Figures 6 and 9, by optimizing the internal structure of the BDU, the control end connector and the low-voltage information acquisition connector of the second electrical component 4 are on the same side of the second electrical component 4, and the high-voltage copper busbar 6 is on the other side of the second electrical component 4 to provide good protection for the inside of the BDU; as shown in Figures 9 and 17, the power supply ends of the fuse 41, the main positive relay 42 and the fast charging positive relay 43 are connected in series in sequence through the high-voltage copper busbar 6 to form a positive circuit; the power supply ends of the pre-charging resistor 32 and the pre-charging relay 33 are connected in series in sequence through the PCB board 1 Then it is connected in parallel with the main positive relay 42 to form a pre-charge circuit; the power supply end of the Shunt shunt 45 and the main negative relay 44 are connected in series in sequence through the high-voltage copper bus 6 to form a negative circuit; the high-voltage copper bus 6 connected in series with the main negative relay 44 and the fast-charging positive relay 43 are fixed with and electrically connected with a terminal 46, and the end of the terminal 46 away from the high-voltage copper bus 6 is fixed and electrically connected to the connecting piece 222, so that the conductive bar 22 located on both sides of the second electrical component 4 and the high-voltage copper bus 6 are connected, so that the conductive bar 22 can be connected to the high-voltage copper bus 6 on one side of the control end of the second electrical component 4, thereby realizing the collection of high-voltage information, avoiding the bending design of the line, simplifying the internal structure of the BDU, and improving its structural compactness.
[0084] The conductive strip 22 includes a plurality of high-voltage conductive strips and a plurality of low-voltage conductive strips, which are used for high-voltage collection and low-voltage control respectively. As shown in FIG17 , the current output end of the fuse 41, the current output end of the main positive relay 42, the current output end of the fast-charge positive relay 43, the current input end of the main negative relay 44 and the current output end of the Shunt shunt 45 are respectively provided with connection points A, C, D, G and R. The high-voltage signals at various positions in the high-voltage conductive circuit are collected by using the connection points A, C, D, G and R. The connection points A, C, D, G and R are electrically connected to the cable connector 31 through the high-voltage conductive strip and the PCB board 1 so as to collect the high-voltage signals therefrom through the cable connector 31. Correspondingly, the main positive relay 4 2, the two control ends (KM1+ and KM1-), the two control ends (KM4+ and KM4-) of the fast charging positive relay 43, the two control ends (KM3+ and KM3-) of the main negative relay 44, and the two control ends (KM2+ and KM2-) of the pre-charging relay 33 are all electrically connected to the cable connector 31 through the low-voltage conductive strip and the PCB board 1, so that low-voltage control can be performed on them through the cable connector 31. The connection points A, C, D, G, KM1+, KM1-, KM2+, KM2-, KM3+, KM3-, KM4+ and KM4- of the conductive strip 22 fully cover all the points in the BDU that require high-voltage signal acquisition and low-voltage control, thereby realizing comprehensive control of the BDU.
[0085] A fast charge negative relay can also be provided in the second electrical component 4. The fast charge negative relay is fixedly arranged on the housing 5. As shown in FIG. 18, the power supply terminal of the fast charge negative relay is connected in series with the negative electrode circuit through a high-voltage copper bar 6, that is, the power supply terminals of the Shunt shunt 45, the main negative relay 44, and the fast charge negative relay are connected in series in sequence through the high-voltage copper bar 6 to form a negative electrode circuit. To achieve high-voltage acquisition and low-voltage control of the fast charge negative relay, a connection point F is preferably provided at the current input terminal of the fast charge negative relay, and the connection point F is electrically connected to the cable connector 31 through a high-voltage conduction bar and the PCB board 1, so as to collect the high-voltage signal at the position of the fast charge negative relay through the cable connector 31. The two control terminals (KM5+ and KM5-) of the fast charge negative relay 47 are both electrically connected to the cable connector 31 through a low-voltage conduction bar and the PCB board 1, so as to perform low-voltage control on it through the cable connector 31.
[0086] There are a large number of second electrical components 4 in the BDU, and their shapes are different, resulting in differences in the installation positions and shapes of the high-voltage copper bars 6. The multiple high-voltage copper bars 6 will at least include one support copper bar 61, which plays an auxiliary support role. As shown in FIG. 9, the high-voltage copper bar 6 at the bottom of the fuse 41. The specification of the fuse 41 is relatively small compared with other electrical components, and its placement position is likely to be inclined. Therefore, it is necessary to make the high-voltage copper bar 6 below it play a certain support role and set it as the support copper bar 61. For the structure of the support copper bar 61, it is preferably set that the support copper bar 61 includes two connecting parts 611, a support part 612, and two strengthening parts 613. Among them, one end of the connecting part 611 is fixedly and electrically connected to the second electrical component 4, and the two connecting parts 611 are arranged in parallel and at intervals; the support part 612 is located between the two connecting parts 611 and is perpendicular to them, that is, the two connecting parts 611 and a support part 612 form an I-shaped or C-shaped; the two strengthening parts 613 are respectively located between the two connecting parts 611 and the support part 612. The cross-section of the strengthening part 613 is U-shaped, and its two ends are continuously arranged and integrally formed with the connecting part 611 and the support part 612 respectively. As shown in FIG. 10, the two U-shaped strengthening parts 613 are located on the right side of the support part 612, the two connecting parts 611 are located on the left side of the support part 612, and the strengthening part 613 corresponds to the connecting part 611 one by one, so that the support copper bar 61 as a whole forms an I-shaped, playing a certain anti-overturning effect, and thus can provide a better support effect for the electrical components above it.
[0087] In order to improve the supporting effect of the supporting copper busbar 61, it is preferred to provide a reinforcement groove 501 on the shell 5, so that the reinforcement part 613 is engaged with the reinforcement groove 501, so that the support part 612 is in contact with the inner wall of the shell 5. Of course, the supporting copper busbar 61 can also be directly injection molded into the shell 5, as shown in Figure 11. The upper and lower sides of the two reinforcement parts 613 are in contact with the reinforcement groove 501, and the right side of the support part 612 is in contact with the shell 5. When the supporting copper busbar 61 is installed between electrical components, it will not move. Due to its I-shaped shape and the support of the shell 5, deformation of the supporting copper busbar 61 can also be avoided. If the supporting copper busbar 61 is removable, as shown in Figure 11, it can only slide to the left when it is separated from the electrical component to facilitate installation and removal of the supporting copper busbar 61.
[0088] The structural strength of the supporting copper busbar 61 is relatively increased, which can provide a good supporting effect, but its effect of absorbing internal stress is not very ideal. Therefore, a buffer copper busbar can also be provided. Compared with the supporting copper busbar 61, the buffer copper busbar also includes two parallel connecting parts 611 and a supporting part 612, but does not have a reinforcing part 613. The three are combined to form a U-shaped structure. When used under working conditions with relatively high stress, the two buffer copper buses are relatively arranged and slidably connected. Specifically, one of the connecting parts 611 of a buffer copper busbar is allowed to slide and be electrically connected to the supporting part 612 of the other buffer copper busbar, while the other connecting part 611 of the buffer copper busbar is fixed and electrically connected to the electrical component. As shown in Figure 12, the two buffer copper buses are respectively fixed to the two electrical components. The internal stress can be absorbed by sliding the two buffer copper buses in opposite or opposite directions. Of course, in order to improve the safety of the two buffer copper buses, tape or other structural parts can be used for simple positioning between the two buffer copper buses.
[0089] A processing method of a high-low voltage integrated BDU of the present invention is as follows:
[0090] S1, take out the copper plate, use a punching machine to punch holes in the copper plate, and make a first semi-finished product consisting of a conductive strip 22, an impingement plate 23 and a reinforcement member, the reinforcement member includes a rectangular ring frame 25 located outside the conductive strip 22 and the impingement plate 23 and integrally formed with the two through the impingement plate 23, or a filling plate 26 located between the plurality of conductive strips 22 and integrally formed with the conductive strip 22 through the impingement plate 23, wherein, as shown in FIG13, if the reinforcement member is a frame 25, the frame 25 is located outside the plurality of conductive strips 22, and holes and grooves are opened on the frame 25, not only can the plurality of conductive strips 22 be connected, but also the plurality of conductive strips 22 can be connected. Combining them into a larger whole prevents multiple conductive bars 22 from scattering or deforming, and can also facilitate the positioning and installation of the first semi-finished product, making subsequent processing operations easier; as shown in Figure 14, if the reinforcement is a filling plate 26, the filling plate 26 is set at a position where the distance between two adjacent conductive bars 22 is large or the distribution density of the conductive bars 22 is high, which can also make multiple conductive bars 22 combined into a larger whole, preventing multiple conductive bars 22 from scattering or deforming. Compared with the frame 25, it has relatively less waste and can provide better anti-deformation properties.
[0091] S2. Based on actual needs, a stamping machine is used to stamp the bent portion 202 on the first semi-finished product to produce a second semi-finished product. As shown in FIG15 , the bent portion 202 of the ribbon 221 connected to one end of the PCB board 1 has the same size, while the bent portions 202 of the connecting pieces 222 at different locations have different sizes to accommodate the second electrical component 4 at the corresponding locations.
[0092] S3, using an injection molding machine to inject plastic onto the outer side of the second semi-finished product to produce a third semi-finished product, with the conductive strip 22 and the connecting plate 23 embedded in the plastic plate 21;
[0093] S4. First, use a punching machine to punch out the third semi-finished product, remove the intervening plate 23 and plastic in the insulating hole 201, cut off the multiple intervening plates 23, and remove the plastic at the reinforcement, fixing hole 101, and weight-reducing hole 203. During processing, the multiple conductive bars 22 are maintained at intervals by the action of the intervening plates 23. When the intervening plates 23 are cut off, adjacent conductive bars 22 are not electrically conductive, ensuring the safety of the high and low voltage signal connector. Then, inject insulating glue 24 into the insulating hole 201 to ensure that the two parts of the same intervening plate 23 cut off by the insulating hole 201 are insulated and sealed, thereby producing the integrated component 2.
[0094] S5, preparing a PCB board 1 installed with a cable connector 31 and a PCB board 1 installed with a pre-charge resistor 32 and a pre-charge relay 33;
[0095] S6, sequentially install the high-voltage copper busbar 6 and multiple second electrical components 4 in the housing 5, and connect the second electrical components 4 using the high-voltage copper busbar 6, and conduct the second electrical components 4 using the electrical principle shown in Figure 17;

[0097] S8, using laser welding to weld the end of the wire strip 221 and the connecting piece 222 to the corresponding PCB board 1 or the second electrical component 4, thereby completing the connection of the connectors in the BDU.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
