[0085] The battery apparatus can be a battery pack, which generally includes a box body and one or more battery cell assemblies accommodated in the box body.
[0086] The battery apparatus further includes a high-voltage distribution unit (also called BDU, Battery Distribution Unit) and a battery management system (BMS, Battery Management System). The high-voltage distribution unit can be commonly called a distribution box or a high-voltage distribution box. The distribution box is a key component in the power system. In the battery apparatus, the distribution box can distribute the electric energy in the battery cell assembly to each high-voltage system of the external power consuming device. The high-voltage distribution unit can control the charging and discharging circuit of the battery apparatus to proceed smoothly. The battery management system is mainly responsible for intelligent management and maintenance of the battery system, monitors the battery state, and ensures the safe operation of the battery. The electric power of the battery cell assembly is transmitted to the high-voltage distribution unit, and then transmitted to the power consuming device. The voltage, current, and temperature parameters of the battery cell assembly are collected and monitored by the battery management system. The battery management system controls the on-off of the circuit in the high-voltage distribution unit, thereby controlling the electric power transmission of the battery cell assembly to the power consuming device. The distribution box is usually integrated with the battery management system (BMS). The BMS optimizes the charging and discharging process of the battery by collecting voltage data, prolongs the service life of the battery, and improves the efficiency of the overall system.
[0087] In the battery device, the high-voltage power distribution device is mainly to control the charging and discharging circuit of the battery device to run smoothly, which is responsible for controlling the power-on and power-off process, pre-charging process and charging process of the high-voltage power circuit, wherein the high-voltage power distribution device includes various relays and electric connection components for realizing circuit connection, as well as sampling components for collecting circuit signals and connectors for transmitting electric signals; for example, the relays include (high-voltage) relays, shunt relays, pre-charging relays, etc., or the relays can also include high-voltage relays, intermediate relays, positive electrode relays, pre-charging relays, etc. The electric connection components include copper bars, aluminum bars, wire harnesses, etc.; the sampling components include low-voltage sampling wires and sampling terminals; and the connectors include low-voltage connectors and high-voltage connectors.
[0088] The main functions of the battery management system include data acquisition, state detection, safety protection, charging control, energy management, and balancing management, etc., which include a master control unit, i.e., a battery management unit (BMU), the BMU includes a data acquisition circuit, a sensor, and a microcontroller (MCU) for processing the collected data and communicating with other systems of the vehicle; in a distributed architecture, the battery management system can also include a slave control unit (CSC), the CSC is responsible for detecting a certain number of battery cells or modules, collecting voltage, current and temperature data, and sending these information to the BMU, the CSC mainly includes sensors for detecting battery cells and data acquisition circuits.
[0089] The battery device is the energy source of the entire circuit system and provides input electric energy for the power distribution box. For example, in an automobile, the battery device serves as a power supply and outputs direct current to the power distribution box of the automobile. The power distribution box is responsible for distributing the electric energy of the battery device to various automobile electrical equipment, such as vehicle lamps, horns, and vehicle computers, etc.
[0090] The power distribution box is one of the installation places of the relays, and the relays play a key role in controlling the on-off of the circuit in the power distribution box. The power distribution box can be understood as an electric control device, which leads the electric energy of the battery to the coil and contact of the relay, and controls the conduction and cut-off of different branch circuits through the relay. The auxiliary contact is other contact in addition to the main contact in the relay, which is mainly used to expand the control function of the relay and provide additional on-off nodes for the control circuit.
[0091] The auxiliary contact is usually composed of an auxiliary moving contact (also known as an auxiliary moving contact) and an auxiliary static contact. Generally, the auxiliary static contact is integrated on a ceramic body, and the auxiliary static contact is exposed to a small connection part outside the ceramic body. For example, the auxiliary static contact is usually in a columnar or needle-like structure, and when the auxiliary static contact in this structure is connected with a circuit board or the like, it can only be connected by wires and welded in a point contact manner, resulting in low connection reliability.
[0092] In view of this, the embodiment of the present application provides a relay. By adding a first conductive component and a first connecting terminal, the original auxiliary static contact is electrically connected to the first connecting terminal through the first conductive component. Since the first connecting terminal has a first connecting surface, the first connecting terminal can be connected to an external circuit through surface contact. The first connecting surface can increase the connection area between the first connecting terminal and the components in the external circuit. The first connecting surface is also more convenient for improving other structures or connecting other structures, thereby increasing the connection area between the first connecting terminal and the external circuit and further increasing the connection reliability.
[0093] Specifically, referring to FIGS. 4-7, the embodiment of the present application provides a relay 1121. The relay 1121 includes a ceramic body 11218, a main static contact 11217, an auxiliary static contact 11213, a first conductive component 11214, and a first connecting terminal 11215. The main static contact 11217 and the auxiliary static contact 11213 are both arranged on the ceramic body 11218. The first conductive component 11214 is electrically connected between the auxiliary static contact 11213 and the first connecting terminal 11215. The first connecting terminal 11215 includes a first connecting surface 112155. An external circuit is connected to the first connecting surface 112155 to access the auxiliary circuit of the relay 1121.
[0094] The auxiliary circuit of the relay 1121 is understood as a circuit or link or circuit connected to the auxiliary contact (including the auxiliary static contact 11213 and the auxiliary moving contact). The circuit is used to transmit a control signal or a low-voltage signal. It can be understood that the circuit connected to the main contact can be referred to as a main circuit, and the main circuit is used to transmit a high-voltage signal.
[0095] The relay 1121 mainly includes an electromagnetic coil, a core, an armature, a contact, and a reset spring. The contact includes a main contact and an auxiliary contact. The electromagnetic coil is also referred to as a coil 11212. The coil 11212 is used to generate a magnetic force by being energized, and the magnetic force is used to control the action of the main contact and the auxiliary contact. Generally, the relay 1121 has a main contact and an auxiliary contact. Therefore, the coil 11212 in the embodiment can refer to an electromagnetic coil that can control the action of the main contact and the auxiliary contact. However, for some relays 1121, there can be no main contact. For example, for an intermediate relay 1121, the intermediate relay 1121 is essentially an input voltage type relay 1121. All of the intermediate relay 1121 are auxiliary contacts, and there is no main contact. The intermediate relay 1121 is mainly used to expand the number of element contacts, convert normally open and normally closed points, and isolate and transition. Therefore, for the intermediate relay 1121, the coil 11212 can refer to a coil 11212 mainly used to control the action of the auxiliary contact.
[0096] The working principle of the relay 1121 is as follows: the energizing attraction process includes that when a certain voltage is applied to the coil 11212 of the relay 1121, an electric current flows in the coil 11212, thereby generating a magnetic field, under the action of the magnetic field, the armature is attracted by the iron core to overcome the pulling force of the return spring, and drives the contact to act, so that the normally open contact is closed and the normally closed contact is opened, thereby turning on the working circuit. The de-energizing release process includes that when the coil 11212 is de-energized, the electric current disappears, and the magnetic field also disappears, the armature returns to the original position under the action of the return spring, and drives the contact to switch reversely, that is, the normally open contact is opened and the normally closed contact is closed, thereby turning off the working circuit. By controlling the on-off of the coil 11212, the on-off state of the contact can be controlled, small current can be controlled to large current, low voltage can be controlled to high voltage, and functions such as signal conversion and circuit protection can be realized.
[0097] It should be noted that for the main contact, the main contact includes a movable moving contact and a non-movable static contact, which can be referred to as a main static contact 11217, and the moving contact is movable and can be referred to as a main moving contact. The static contact is fixed on the ceramic body 11218 of the relay 1121, and the two together constitute a contact system of the relay 1121. When the relay 1121 works, the moving contact contacts or separates from the static contact under the action of the armature, thereby realizing the conduction and cut-off of the circuit. In the initial state, the static contact separated from the moving contact is a normally open contact, and the static contact contacted by the moving contact is a normally closed contact. When the coil 11212 of the relay 1121 is energized, the moving contact acts, the normally open contact is closed, and the normally closed contact is opened; after the coil 11212 is de-energized, the moving contact returns, the normally open contact restores to be opened, and the normally closed contact restores to be closed.
[0098] In combination with the drawings, for the auxiliary contact, the auxiliary contact also includes an auxiliary moving contact and an auxiliary static contact 11213, the auxiliary moving contact moves with the armature, cooperates with the corresponding auxiliary static contact 11213, and changes the on-off state of the circuit. The auxiliary contact is mainly used to expand the control function of the relay 1121 and provide additional on-off nodes for the control circuit. The auxiliary contact is divided into normally open type and normally closed type. The normally open auxiliary contact is in an open state when the relay 1121 does not act, and is closed after acting; the normally closed auxiliary contact is closed initially, and is opened after acting. The auxiliary contact can be used to realize various logic control functions such as self-locking, interlocking, signal indication and fault alarm, and meet the control requirements of complex circuits.
[0099] The moving contact and the static contact of the main circuit are used to control the on-off of the main load, and the auxiliary moving contact and the auxiliary static contact 11213 are used to provide additional control signals or realize interlocking functions such as signal feedback, control of other related circuits and the like.
[0100] The auxiliary contact generally includes an auxiliary moving contact and an auxiliary stationary contact 11213. The auxiliary moving contact is also called an auxiliary moving reed because it is usually made of a reed. The auxiliary moving reed is generally made of a metal sheet with elasticity, such as a copper alloy, to realize the opening and closing actions of the contact. The relay 1121 can include a coil holder 112116, the coil 11212 can be connected to the coil holder 112116, and the auxiliary stationary contact 11213 is fixed to the ceramic body 11218 of the relay 1121 to provide a contact for the moving reed.
[0101] In the battery management system of the battery device 1100, the auxiliary stationary contact 11213 needs to be electrically connected to the battery management main control board 1127. The battery management main control board 1127 is the main component in the battery management system. In this example, the battery management main control board 1127 can be a circuit board of the BMU or a circuit board obtained by integrating the circuit of the BMU and the circuit of the CSC. The battery management system can have a housing, and the battery management main control board 1127 can be connected to the housing. Alternatively, the battery management system does not have a housing, and the battery management main control board 1127 can be directly connected to the housing of the relay 1121, the ceramic body 11218, or the like.
[0102] In combination with FIGS. 4, 6, and 7, the first connection terminal 11215 is provided on the relay 1121. For example, the first connection terminal 11215 can be connected to the coil holder 112116 of the relay 1121 or the ceramic body 11218. The first connection terminal 11215 is an electrical connection component. For example, the first connection terminal 11215 can be a metal conductive structure with rigidity, which can be made of copper, nickel, or aluminum, such as a reed structure or a copper bar structure. The first connection terminal 11215 can have a sheet structure, a frame structure, a hollow shell structure, or a solid structure.
[0103] The ceramic body 11218 can serve as a support component. The ceramic body 11218 plays a key role in supporting and fixing inside the relay 1121. The ceramic body 11218 provides a stable mounting basis for internal components such as contacts. Part of the ceramic body 11218 can also support the coil 11212 and the core. For example, the coil 11212 is usually wound around the core, and the core and the coil 11212 are installed at a specific position inside the ceramic body 11218. The hard and stable structure of the ceramic body 11218 can ensure that these components maintain their relative positions unchanged during the operation of the relay 1121, even if they are subjected to external forces such as vibration and impact.
[0104] The first conductive component 11214 is also an electrically connecting component. The first conductive component 11214 can be made of a rigid metal conductive structure. The first conductive component 11214 can be made of copper, nickel or aluminum, etc. For example, the first conductive component 11214 can be a bar structure or a copper bar structure. Alternatively, the first conductive component 11214 can also be a circuit board on which exposed conductive connecting parts are arranged to respectively electrically connect and conduct between the auxiliary static contact 11213 and the first connecting terminal 11215.
[0105] It can be understood that the first conductive component 11214 is electrically connected between the auxiliary static contact 11213 and the first connecting terminal 11215 to connect and conduct between the auxiliary static contact 11213 and the first connecting terminal 11215. It can be seen that the first connecting terminal 11215 forms a terminal structure or a contact structure that can replace the auxiliary static contact 11213.
[0106] It should be noted that since the relay 1121 needs to be connected in an electric circuit, it can be known that two auxiliary static contacts 11213 are needed, one for current input and the other for current output. Correspondingly, two first connecting terminals 11215 are needed. The first conductive component 11214 has two independent conducting parts. One first connecting terminal 11215 is connected and conducted with one auxiliary static contact 11213 through the first conductive component 11214, and the other first connecting terminal 11215 is connected and conducted with the other auxiliary static contact 11213 through the first conductive component. The above two conducting parts are independent of each other to achieve the purpose of making the two first connecting terminals 11215 independent of each other.
[0107] The first connecting terminal 11215 has a first connecting surface 112155. The first connecting surface 112155 is a part of the first connecting terminal 11215 that is connected with an external circuit. It can be seen that the first connecting terminal 11215 and the external circuit form a large connecting area, which is beneficial to improve the reliability of the connection. In addition, the design of the surface structure is also convenient for improving the structure on the first connecting surface 112155 and assembling with other components. For example, the first connecting surface 112155 can be more convenient to open a hole structure, and the hole structure is convenient for connecting with a fastener. Compared with the needle-shaped or columnar auxiliary static contact 11213, the surface structure of the first connecting surface 112155 is more convenient to improve the reliability of the connection between the first connecting terminal 11215 and the external circuit and to realize the diversity of the connection mode.
[0108] In the embodiment, the auxiliary static contact 11213 is connected by the first conductive component 11214, so as to be equivalent to shifting the auxiliary static contact 11213 to the first connecting terminal 11215, the first connecting terminal 11215 is provided with the first connecting surface 112155, the first connecting surface 112155 is connected with the external circuit, so as to increase the connecting area between the first connecting terminal 11215 and the external circuit, and form a surface contact connecting mode, so as to facilitate improving the reliability of the connection between the relay 1121 and the external circuit.
[0109] Referring to FIGS. 4-7, in some embodiments, the first connecting surface 112155 is a plane.
[0110] The first connecting surface 112155 is a surface of the first connecting terminal 11215 in contact with or abutting against a component in the external circuit. The first connecting surface 112155 in a plane shape is more convenient for abutting and increasing the tightness of the abutting, so as to facilitate reducing the gap of the connecting position and improving the reliability of the connection. In addition, the first connecting surface 112155 in a plane shape is more convenient for processing and manufacturing, so as to reduce the cost and complexity of the processing and manufacturing, and the like.
[0111] Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, in some embodiments, the ceramic body 11218 has a first end surface 1128 and a first side surface 1129, the first end surface 1128 and the first side surface 1129 are arranged perpendicularly, the main static contact 11217 is located on the first end surface 1128, and the first connecting surface 112155 is located on the first side surface 1129.
[0112] It should be noted that the first side surface 1129 and the first end surface 1128 can be real surfaces on the relay 1121, or the first side surface 1129 and the first end surface 1128 can be understood as virtual surfaces on the relay 1121 for defining directions. It can be understood that the main static contact 11217 is located on the first end surface 1128, and the auxiliary static contact 11213 can also be arranged on the first end surface 1128, and the first connecting terminal 11215 and the first connecting surface 112155 are arranged on the first side surface 1129. For example, referring to FIG. 4, the first end surface 1128 can be understood as an upper end surface in the drawing, and the first side surface 1129 can be understood as a front side surface in the drawing. The main static contact 11217 can be arranged on the upper end surface, and the first connecting surface 112155 is located on the front side surface, that is, the first connecting terminal 11215 is located on the front side of the relay 1121.
[0113] It is further pointed out that the first side surface 1129 and the first end surface 1128 are two different surfaces or surfaces in two different directions on the relay 1121. For example, the first side surface 1129 and the first end surface 1128 are two perpendicular surfaces or two perpendicular directions. The first side surface 1129 can also be referred to as a first side, and the first end surface 1128 can also be referred to as a second side. The first side and the second side are two different side directions of the relay 1121.
[0114] In the embodiment, the first connecting terminal 11215 is arranged away from the main static contact 11217, and the two are respectively located on different surfaces of the relay 1121, which is beneficial to make the first connecting terminal 11215 be on a larger mounting area and reduce the interference problem between the first connecting terminal 11215 and the main static contact 11217.
[0115] Referring to FIGS. 4-6, in some embodiments, the main static contact 11217 has a second connecting surface 112171, and an external circuit is connected with the second connecting surface 112171 to access the main circuit of the relay 1121. The first connecting surface 112155 is arranged perpendicularly to the second connecting surface 112171.
[0116] Specifically, among the electrical circuits, the circuit connected with the main contact can be referred to as a main circuit, and the main circuit is used to transmit a high-voltage signal. The second connecting surface 112171 is a contact surface or an assembly surface on the main static contact 11217 connected with the external main circuit. The second connecting surface 112171 can be a flat surface. As can be seen, the main static contact 11217 is connected with the external circuit in a surface contact manner, thereby increasing the connection area between the main static contact 11217 and the external circuit, and further improving the reliability of the connection.
[0117] The first connecting surface 112155 and the second connecting surface 112171 are arranged perpendicularly, for example, the first connecting surface 112155 is arranged on the first end surface 1128 and is parallel to the first end surface 1128, the second connecting surface 112171 is arranged on the first side surface 1129 and is parallel to the first side surface 1129, and the first end surface 1128 is perpendicular to the first side surface 1129, so that the first connecting surface 112155 is perpendicular to the second connecting surface 112171.
[0118] In the embodiment, the first connecting surface 112155 and the second connecting surface 112171 are arranged perpendicularly, so that the relay 1121 is more convenient for lead wire when assembled with the external shell, which is beneficial to reduce interference.

[0121] The coil holder 112116 is used to mount the coil 11212, and since the coil 11212 is wound, the coil holder 112116 is provided with the winding portion 112111, and the coil 11212 can be wound on the winding portion 112111.
[0122] The first connecting terminal 11215 is connected to the coil holder 112116, the first connecting terminal 11215 can be connected to the coil holder 112116 in a fixed or detachable manner, or the first connecting terminal 11215 and the coil holder 112116 are integrally formed.
[0123] In the present embodiment, the first connecting terminal 11215 is arranged on the coil holder 112116, which is equivalent to transferring the conduction position of the auxiliary static contact 11213 to the coil holder 112116, thereby facilitating the stability of the connection between the first connecting terminal 11215 and the external circuit, facilitating the increase of the space of the mounting position, facilitating the manufacture, and improving the compactness of the overall structure.

[0125] Specifically, the coil holder 112116 can adopt a frame structure or a plate structure, etc., and a middle portion of the coil holder 112116 can be a winding portion 112111, which can adopt a columnar structure, so that the winding portion 112111 has an axial direction, i.e., the axial direction of the winding portion 112111 is parallel to the direction of the central axis of the winding portion 112111, and the central axis of the winding portion 112111 is the winding axis of the coil 11212 around the winding portion 112111.
[0126] The first direction X is the axial direction of the winding portion 112111, i.e., the extension direction of the winding axis is the first direction X, and the winding portion 112111 has a certain extension height in the first direction X, and the winding portion 112111 can be columnar. The first end wall 112117 is located at one end of the winding portion 112111, i.e., the first end wall 112117 is located at one end of the winding portion 112111 in the first direction X and connected to the end portion.

The first connecting terminal 11215 can be connected to the first supporting portion 112112 by inlaying, injection molding, detachable connection, etc.
[0128] In this embodiment, the first supporting portion 112112 is added to support the first connecting terminal 11215, so that the first connecting terminal 11215 is connected to the coil holder 112116, which is conducive to improving the stability of the installation of the first connecting terminal 11215 and the compactness of the overall structure.
[0129] Referring to FIG. 7, in some embodiments, the first supporting portion 112112 is connected to the edge portion of the first end wall 112117 and extends away from the coil 11212 in the first direction X.

[0134] Specifically, since the auxiliary static contact 11213 is located on the first end surface 1128 and the first connecting terminal 11215 is located on the first side surface 1129, the first conductive component 11214 should have two connected and conductive parts, i.e., the first connecting segment 112141 and the second connecting segment 112142, for the structural design of the first conductive component 11214, the first connecting segment 112141 is used to extend the position of the auxiliary static contact 11213 to the first side surface 1129, and the second connecting segment 112142 is used to connect and conduct between the first connecting segment 112141 and the first connecting terminal 11215.
[0135] Since the first end surface 1128 can be arranged perpendicularly to the first side surface 1129, it can be known that when the first connecting segment 112141 and the second connecting segment 112142 are both in a plate-like structure, the first connecting segment 112141 and the second connecting segment 112142 can also be arranged perpendicularly.

[0148] In the embodiment, the first connecting terminal 11215 is formed by three different parts, i.e., the first connecting portion 112151, the first intermediate portion 112152 and the first adapter portion 112153, so that the first connecting terminal 11215 can be firmly connected to the first supporting portion 112112, and the structure design is more reasonable, which is beneficial to improve the reliability of the connection.
[0149] Referring to FIG. 6, in some embodiments, the first connecting terminal 11215 is further provided with a threaded structure 112156, which is arranged on the first connecting surface 112155 in a direction perpendicular to the first connecting surface 112155.
[0150] Specifically, the threaded structure 112156 can refer to a structure provided with a thread, or the threaded structure 112156 specifically refers to a thread formed on the first connecting terminal 11215.
[0151] For example, the part of the first connecting terminal 11215 connected to the external circuit is in a plate shape, the plate-shaped part is parallel to the first connecting surface 112155, and the surface of the plate-shaped part forms the first connecting surface 112155, and the threaded structure 112156 is arranged on the first connecting surface 112155. For example, the threaded structure 112156 is an internal thread structure 112156 arranged on a threaded hole, and it can be known that the central axis of the internal thread hole is perpendicular to the first connecting surface 112155.
[0152] In the embodiment, the first connecting terminal 11215 is provided with the threaded structure 112156, so that the first connecting terminal 11215 can be fixed to the structural component in the external circuit by screwing, which is beneficial to improve the reliability of the connection.
[0153] Referring to FIGS. 5 and 10, in some embodiments, the threaded structure 112156 is a nut, which can be the first lock nut 11232 in the following examples. The first connecting terminal 11215 is further provided with a first connecting hole 112154 penetrating the first connecting surface 112155. The nut is correspondingly arranged with the first connecting hole 112154 and located on the side of the first connecting terminal 11215 away from the first connecting surface 112155.
[0154] Specifically, the nut is arranged on the first connecting terminal 11215 and can be fixed or detachably connected to the first connecting terminal 11215. It can be understood that the nut is a fastener for connecting the first connecting terminal 11215 to the structural component in the external circuit.
[0155] The first connecting terminal 11215 needs to be provided with a connecting hole corresponding to the nut. The first connecting hole 112154 is arranged on the first connecting surface 112155 and penetrates the first connecting terminal 11215 and the nut, so that the opposite threaded part can be screwed with the nut through the connecting hole, thereby achieving locking and fixing. The opposite threaded part can be a stud or bolt provided with external threads.
[0156] In the embodiment, the nut is arranged on the first connecting terminal 11215, thereby improving the convenience of screwing.
[0157] Referring to FIGS. 5-7, in some embodiments, the relay 1121 further includes a coil 11212 and a coil holder 112116. The coil 11212 is connected to the coil holder 112116. The coil holder 112116 has a first supporting portion 112112, and the first connecting terminal 11215 is arranged on the first supporting portion 112112. The first supporting portion 112112 has an assembly groove 112115, and a through hole is formed on the first supporting portion 112112 corresponding to the first connecting hole 112154. The nut (i.e., the first lock nut 11232 described below) is arranged in the assembly groove 112115.
[0158] Specifically, the first supporting part 112112 is provided with an assembly groove 112115, and therefore, the first supporting part 112112 can adopt a shell plate structure, the outer part of the first supporting part 112112 can be in a cubic shape, the first supporting part 112112 includes a circumferential (or lateral) frame and a bottom wall connected to the frame, and the frame and the bottom wall together form the assembly groove 112115. The first connecting terminal 11215 can be connected to the first supporting part 112112, and part of the first connecting terminal 11215 can be exposedly installed on the surface of the frame.
[0159] Therefore, the first connecting terminal 11215 is connected to the first supporting part 112112, the first connecting hole 112154 corresponding to the first connecting terminal 11215 is provided with a through hole on the first supporting part 112112, and the through hole and the first connecting hole 112154 are opposite to each other. For example, when a bolt is provided, the bolt can be inserted into the assembly groove 112115 through the through hole, the first connecting hole 112154 and the connecting hole, and it can be known that the nut (i.e., the first locking nut 11232) is accommodated in the assembly groove 112115 and is in threaded connection with the outer end of the bolt.
[0160] The nut (i.e., the first locking nut 11232) can be an independent component independent of the first supporting part 112112, or the nut can be fixed or integrally formed on the first supporting part 112112, thereby improving the compactness and stability of the overall structure.
[0161] In the embodiment, by providing the assembly groove 112115 on the first supporting part 112112, the nut is wrapped and hidden, and the risk of contact between the nut and the coil 11212 or other conductive components is reduced, thereby playing an isolation role to reduce the risk of short circuit in electrical connection.
[0162] Referring to FIGS. 4-6, in some embodiments, the relay 1121 further includes a yoke 11211 provided with a receiving groove 112113, and a coil holder 112116 is at least partially installed in the receiving groove 112113 of the yoke 11211. The coil holder 112116 includes a winding part 112111 for winding the coil 11212, and the coil holder 112116 further has a first end wall 112117 located on one side of the winding part 112111 along a first direction X and connected to one end of the winding part 112111 along the first direction X. The winding part 112111 and the first end wall 112117 are both located in the receiving groove 112113, the first direction X is the axial direction of the winding part 112111, the first connecting terminal 11215 is embedded in the first end wall 112117, and the first connecting surface 112155 is located outside the receiving groove 112113.
[0163] Specifically, in the relay 1121, when current is supplied to the coil 11212, a magnetic field is generated around the coil 11212. The yoke 11211, as a part of the magnetic circuit, guides and concentrates the magnetic field, so that the magnetic field is distributed along a specific path. The yoke 11211, together with the armature, the core and the like, forms a relatively closed magnetic circuit, so that the armature is driven to act against the elastic force, friction and the like, to drive the contact to be closed or opened, thereby controlling the on-off of the circuit.
[0164] In the example, the coil holder 112116 is mounted on the yoke 11211, and at least part of the structure or region of the coil holder 112116 is in contact with the yoke 11211. Specifically, the yoke 11211 is provided with a receiving groove 112113, and the coil holder 112116 is received in the receiving groove 112113. The yoke 11211 can adopt a frame structure.
[0165] For the coil holder 112116, the coil holder 112116 includes the winding part 112111 and the first end wall 112117. The structure and positional relationship of the winding part 112111 and the first end wall 112117 can refer to the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be described here. The winding part 112111 and the first end wall 112117 are both received in the receiving groove 112113, thereby protecting the winding part 112111 and the first end wall 112117. In addition, the first end wall 112117 can be configured to be connected to the yoke 11211.
[0166] For the mounting position of the first connecting terminal 11215, since the first connecting terminal 11215 is used to be connected to the first conductive part 11214, one end of the first conductive part 11214 can extend to the position of the first end wall 112117, and the first supporting part 112112 is connected to the first end wall 112117. The first supporting part 112112 is connected to the first connecting terminal 11215, so that the first connecting terminal 11215 is directly or indirectly connected to the first end wall 112117.
[0167] The first connecting terminal 11215 is connected to the first end wall 112117 in a manner of being embedded, so that the first end wall 112117 protects and supports the first connecting terminal 11215.
[0168] For the position of the first connecting surface 112155 on the first connecting terminal 11215, the first connecting surface 112155 is located outside the receiving groove 112113, and the first connecting surface 112155 is a connecting surface exposed outside the receiving groove 112113, so that the structure of the external circuit can be matched with the first connecting surface 112155, which is conducive to reducing interference and improving the convenience of connection.
[0169] In the embodiment, the yoke 11211 bears and accommodates the coil holder 112116 and the coil 11212 thereon, and the first connecting surface 112155 is arranged outside the accommodation groove 112113 of the yoke 11211, so that the first connecting surface 112155 is exposed, facilitating assembly and improving the convenience of connecting with structural components in the external circuit.
[0170] Referring to FIGS. 4, 6 and 7, in some embodiments, the first connecting surface 112155 is provided with a first connecting hole 112154, the first connecting surface 112155 is connected with the external circuit through the first connecting hole 112154, and the extension line of the central axis of the first connecting hole 112154 does not interfere with the yoke 11211.
[0171] Specifically, the first connecting surface 112155 is connected with the external circuit through the first connecting hole 112154, which should be understood as that the first connecting hole 112154 is a position area where the first connecting terminal 11215 is directly connected or contacted with the external circuit. For example, the first connecting hole 112154 is used to configure a fastener, and the first connecting hole 112154 is used to be matched with a bolt for connection. The bolt is inserted into the first connecting hole 112154, so as to realize the connection and fixation with the structural components in the external circuit.
[0172] Since the bolt and other columnar structures need to be inserted into the first connecting hole 112154, in order to avoid the interference between the bolt and the yoke 11211, the extension line or the extension line of the central axis of the first connecting hole 112154 should not interfere with the yoke 11211, that is, the extension line of the central axis of the first connecting hole 112154 avoids the main body part of the yoke 11211, so as to reserve sufficient space for the end of the bolt extending out of the hole to avoid the surface area of the yoke 11211.
[0173] In the embodiment, by avoiding the yoke 11211 in the position of the first connecting hole 112154, the electrical connection reliability of the main static contact 11217, the first connecting terminal 11215 and the like during connection is improved, the space is reasonably utilized, and the risk of short circuit and interference during electrical connection is reduced.

Of course, it can also be understood that corresponding to the two first conductive input parts 11221, two first conductive output parts 11222 are correspondingly provided on the second conductive component 1122, one first conductive input part 11221 is connected and conducted with the corresponding first conductive output part 11222, thereby forming two mutually independent conduction parts.
[0197] Specifically, the fourth connecting surface 112212 is formed on the first conductive input part 11221 on the second conductive part 1122, and the first connecting surface 112155 is connected with the fourth connecting surface 112212, that is, the first conductive input part 11221 is connected with the first connecting terminal 11215.
[0198] In the embodiment, the auxiliary static contact 11213 is connected through the first conductive part 11214, so as to be equivalent to shifting the auxiliary static contact 11213 to the first connecting terminal 11215, and the first connecting terminal 11215 can be connected with the second conductive part 1122, and the wire harness is replaced by the second conductive part, which is beneficial to improving the regularity and integration of the whole device.
[0199] Referring to FIGS. 4-7, in some embodiments, the first connecting surface 112155 and the fourth connecting surface 112212 are both flat surfaces.
[0200] The first connecting surface 112155 and the fourth connecting surface 112212 are both flat surfaces, so that a larger contact area can be provided between the first connecting terminal 11215 and the second conductive part 1122, so that a larger electrical contact area can be obtained when the corresponding electrical connection structures are in contact with each other, thereby improving the stability and reliability of electrical connection.
[0201] Referring to FIGS. 3, 10 and 11, in some embodiments, the first connecting surface 112155 and the fourth connecting surface 112212 are bolted or welded.
[0202] Specifically, the first connecting surface 112155 and the fourth connecting surface 112212 can be arranged in abutment, and welded at the abutment position, so as to realize the welding fixation between the first connecting terminal 11215 and the second conductive part 1122.
[0203] Alternatively, an external connecting part is used, for example, a bolt is used to connect between the first connecting surface 112155 and the fourth connecting surface 112212, that is, the first connecting terminal 11215 and the second conductive part 1122 are locked and fixed through the bolt.
[0204] In the embodiment, the welding mode can improve the firmness of the connection between the first connecting terminal 11215 and the second conductive part 1122, and the bolt connection mode can make the installation and disassembly between the first connecting terminal 11215 and the second conductive part 1122 more flexible, which is convenient for installation and disassembly.
[0205] Referring to FIGS. 3, 10 and 11, in some embodiments, the electric control device 1120 further comprises a first locking assembly 1123, which is connected to the first connecting terminal 11215 and the second conductive part 1122 at the positions of the first connecting surface 112155 and the fourth connecting surface 112212, respectively.
[0206] The first locking assembly 1123 is used to lock and fix the second conductive part 1122 and the first connecting terminal 11215. The locking mode of the first locking assembly 1123 can include threaded connection, buckle connection, limiting plug-in, binding connection or welding, etc.
[0207] For example, the first locking assembly 1123 comprises a first locking column 11231 and a first lock nut 11232, the first connecting terminal 11215 has a first connecting hole 112154, and the first conductive input part 11221 has a first conductive hole 112211 corresponding to the first connecting hole 112154. The first locking column 11231 is plug-in matched with the first connecting hole 112154 and the first conductive hole 112211, and the first lock nut 11232 is threadedly connected with the end of the first locking column 11231 extending out of the first connecting hole 112154 and the first conductive hole 112211.
[0208] The first locking column 11231 and the first lock nut 11232 are assembled by threaded connection, thereby locking and fixing the first connecting terminal 11215 and the first conductive input part 11221. For the first locking column 11231, it can be understood as a kind of stud or bolt structure, and the outer column surface of the first locking column 11231 forms an external thread structure 112156. For the first lock nut 11232, it can be understood as a kind of nut, and the first lock nut 11232 has a threaded hole.
[0209] Correspondingly, the first connecting terminal 11215 has a first connecting hole 112154, which can be a through hole or a threaded hole, and the first connecting hole 112154 can be arranged on the sheet-shaped structure part of the first connecting terminal 11215. For example, the first connecting part 112151 in the first connecting terminal 11215 is sheet-shaped or plate-shaped, and the first connecting part 112151 can also be understood as a kind of bar structure, or the first connecting terminal 11215 can be understood as a kind of bar structure as a whole, and the first connecting hole 112154 is arranged on the first connecting part 112151.
[0210] Correspondingly, the first conductive input part 11221 has a first conductive hole 112211, which can be a through hole or a threaded hole. The first conductive input part 11221 can be a sheet-shaped structural part on the second conductive part 1122. For example, the second conductive part 1122 has an irregularly bent sheet-shaped structure as a whole, and the first conductive input part 11221 is part of the sheet-shaped structure, and the first conductive hole 112211 is formed on the sheet-shaped part.
[0211] The first connecting terminal 11215 is in abutment or overlap with the first conductive input part 11221, and forms a first connecting surface 112155 and a fourth connecting surface 112212 in abutment connection. The first connecting hole 112154 and the first conductive hole 112211 are both located at the abutment or overlap position. Therefore, the first locking column 11231 penetrates and cooperates with the first connecting hole 112154 and the first conductive hole 112211, respectively. The end portion of the first locking column 11231 extending out of the first connecting hole 112154 and the first conductive hole 112211 is threadedly connected with the first lock nut 11232, thereby limiting and fixing the first connecting terminal 11215 and the first conductive input part 11221.
[0212] In this embodiment, the first locking assembly 1123 is used for connection and fixation, thereby realizing detachable connection between the second conductive part 1122 and the first connecting terminal 11215, and making the installation and disassembly of the first connecting terminal 11215 and the second conductive part 1122 more flexible and convenient.
[0213] Referring to FIGS. 3, 10 and 11, in some embodiments, the electric control device 1120 further includes a bearing seat 1124 connected with the second conductive part 1122.
[0214] The bearing seat 1124 is used for bearing and supporting the second conductive part 1122. The bearing seat 1124 can have a frame structure, a plate structure, a hollow structure or a solid structure, etc. In some embodiments, the bearing seat 1124 can be referred to as an upper shell, which is arranged corresponding to a lower shell for accommodating and installing the relay 1121.
[0215] The second conductive part 1122 and the bearing seat 1124 can be connected in a fixed or detachable manner. For example, the second conductive part 1122 and the bearing seat 1124 are integrally formed by injection molding.
[0216] The carrier 1124 is used to support and carry the second conductive component 1122, so when the carrier 1124 is prepared, the second conductive component 1122 can be directly embedded or embedded in the carrier 1124, for example, the carrier 1124 and the second conductive component 1122 are integrally formed by injection molding.
[0217] The position or part of the second conductive component 1122 in direct contact with and fixed to the carrier 1124 can be the integrated body 11225. When the second conductive component 1122 and the carrier 1124 are prepared and assembled, the integrated body 11225 on the second conductive component 1122 can first be an integral sheet structure, and after the second conductive component 1122 and the carrier 1124 are assembled, the integrated body 11225 can be punched to correspond to the conduction between the first input conductive body 11226 and the first output conductive body 11227, and the conduction between the second input conductive body 11228 and the second output conductive body 11229, thereby facilitating the convenience of assembly.
[0218] In this embodiment, the carrier 1124 supports the second conductive component 1122 to form an integrated structure with the second conductive component 1122, so that the structure is more compact, improves the structural stability of the second conductive component 1122, and improves the convenience of connection with the external circuit.
[0219] Referring to FIGS. 4-6, in some embodiments, the ceramic body 11218 has a first end surface 1128 and a first side surface 1129, and the main static contact 11217 is located on the first end surface 1128. The first connecting terminal 11215 and the second conductive component 1122 are both located in the direction of the first side surface 1129.
[0220] Specifically, the first end surface 1128 and the first side surface 1129 are surfaces at two different positions of the ceramic body 11218, or are two different end surfaces or side surface directions of the ceramic body 11218. In the case where the main static contact 11217 is located on the first end surface 1128, the first connecting terminal 11215 is located on the first side surface 1129, and the second conductive component 1122 needs to be assembled with the first connecting terminal 11215, so the second conductive component 1122 also needs to be arranged in the direction of the first side surface 1129, that is, the first connecting terminal 11215 and the second conductive component 1122 are located on the same side of the ceramic body 11218, thereby facilitating the convenient connection of the second conductive component 1122 and the first connecting terminal 11215.
[0221] For example, when the relay 1121 is installed horizontally, the first connecting terminal 11215 is located on the surface facing upward, that is, the first side surface 1129 is arranged toward the upward direction, and correspondingly, the first end surface 1128 is arranged toward the lateral direction, so that the main static contact 11217 and the auxiliary static contact 11213 are both located in the lateral direction. Therefore, it is obtained that the second conductive component 1122 is located above the surface of the relay 1121 facing upward, that is, the second conductive component 1122 is located in the space above the first side surface 1129, and it can be understood that the carrier seat 1124 is located above the relay 1121.
[0222] In the embodiment, the first connecting terminal 11215 and the second conductive component 1122 are both located on the first side surface 1129, which is beneficial to simplify the structure of the second conductive component 1122, improve the compactness of the overall structure connection, and facilitate the assembly of the second conductive component 1122 and the carrier seat 1124, and is beneficial to improve the space utilization.
[0223] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 3, 10 and 11, the electric control device 1120 includes the relay 1121 in the above-mentioned embodiment with the second connecting terminal 11216, and the electric control device 1120 further includes the second conductive component 1122, the first locking assembly 1123 and the second locking assembly 1125. The second conductive component 1122 has a fourth connecting surface 112212 and a fifth connecting surface 112232, respectively. The fourth connecting surface 112212 is connected to the first connecting surface 112155 to realize the electrical connection between the first connecting terminal 11215 and the second conductive component 1122. The first locking assembly 1123 is connected to the first connecting terminal 11215 and the second conductive component 1122 at the positions of the first connecting surface 112155 and the fourth connecting surface 112212, respectively. The fifth connecting surface 112232 is connected to the third connecting surface 112165 to realize the electrical connection between the second connecting terminal 11216 and the second conductive component 1122. The second locking assembly 1125 is connected to the second connecting terminal 11216 and the second conductive component 1122 at the positions of the fifth connecting surface 112232 and the fourth connecting surface 112212, respectively.
[0224] The fourth connecting surface 112212 and the fifth connecting surface 112232 are connecting surfaces of two connecting positions on the second conductive component 1122, the first connecting surface 112155 is located on the first connecting terminal 11215, and the first connecting surface 112155 is connected with the fourth connecting surface 112212, which is equivalent to that the first connecting terminal 11215 is connected with the second conductive component 1122. The third connecting surface 112165 is located on the second connecting terminal 11216, so the third connecting surface 112165 is connected with the fifth connecting surface 112232, which is equivalent to that the second connecting terminal 11216 is connected with the second conductive component 1122.
[0225] Specifically, the second connecting terminal 11216 is an electric connecting component, for example, the second connecting terminal 11216 can be a rigid metal conductive structure, and the second connecting terminal 11216 can be made of copper material, nickel material or aluminum material, etc., for example, the second connecting terminal 11216 can be a bar structure, a copper bar structure, etc. The structure form of the second connecting terminal 11216 can be adaptively designed according to the convenience of the locking of the second locking assembly 1125, for example, the second connecting terminal 11216 can adopt a sheet structure, a frame structure, a hollow shell structure or a solid structure, etc.
[0226] The second conductive component 1122 is used for connecting between the second connecting terminal 11216 and the battery management master control board 1127, so as to transmit the control signal to the battery management master control board 1127. Therefore, it can be understood that the second conductive component 1122 also has two conductive connecting parts (or conductive connecting ends), which are defined as a second conductive input part 11223 and a second conductive output part 11224 respectively, the second conductive input part 11223 is in contact with the second connecting terminal 11216, since the fifth connecting surface 112232 is located on the second conductive input part 11223 and the third connecting surface 112165 is located on the second connecting terminal 11216, the second conductive input part 11223 in contact with the second connecting terminal 11216 is equivalent to that the fifth connecting surface 112232 in contact with the third connecting surface 112165, and the second conductive output part 11224 is electrically connected with the battery management master control board 1127. It can be understood that the first conductive input part 11221 and the first conductive output part 11222 form a conductive path, and the second conductive input part 11223 and the second conductive output part 11224 form another conductive path, and the two conductive paths are independent of each other.
[0227] The second conductive input part 11223 needs to keep in contact with the second connecting terminal 11216 at all times, and therefore, the second locking assembly 1125 is arranged to lock and fix the second conductive input part 11223 and the second connecting terminal 11216. The locking mode of the second locking assembly 1125 can include threaded connection, buckle connection, limiting plug-in connection, binding connection or welding, etc.
[0228] It should be noted that since the relay 1121 needs to be connected in an electric circuit, i.e., the coil 11212 needs to be connected in an electric circuit, it can be known that two second connecting terminals 11216 need to be arranged, one second connecting terminal 11216 is used for current input, and one second connecting terminal 11216 is used for current output, and the low-voltage power supply is connected between the two second connecting terminals 11216. It can be known that the second connecting terminal 11216 is a connecting terminal for externally connecting a low-voltage power supply of the coil 11212.
[0229] In this example, the second connecting terminal 11216 can be locked and fixed with the second conductive part 1122 through the second locking assembly 1125, which is conducive to improving the connection reliability between the second conductive part 1122 and the second connecting terminal 11216, and the second conductive part 1122 replaces the wire harness, which is conducive to improving the regularity and integration of the entire device; and the second conductive part 1122 is an integrated part that can integrate the first conductive input part 11221, the first conductive output part 11222, the second conductive input part 11223 and the second conductive output part 11224, which is conducive to simplifying the structure, improving the integration of the part, saving space and improving the space utilization.
[0230] In this embodiment, by additionally arranging the second locking assembly 1125, the locking and fixing between the second connecting terminal 11216 and the second conductive part 1122 is realized, which is conducive to improving the reliability of the connection between the second connecting terminal 11216 and the second conductive part 1122.
[0231] Referring to FIGS. 3, 10 and 11, the second locking assembly 1125 includes a second locking column 11251 and a second lock nut 11252, the second connecting terminal 11216 has a second connecting hole 112164, and the second conductive input part 11223 has a second conductive hole 112231 corresponding to the second connecting hole 112164, the second locking column 11251 is plugged and matched with the second connecting hole 112164 and the second conductive hole 112231, and the second lock nut 11252 is threadedly connected with the end of the second locking column 11251 that extends out of the second connecting hole 112164 and the second conductive hole 112231.
[0232] The second locking post 11251 is assembled with the second locking nut 11252 through threaded connection, thereby locking and fixing the second connecting terminal 11216 and the second conductive input part 11223. The second locking post 11251 can be understood as a stud or bolt structure, and the outer column surface of the second locking post 11251 is provided with an external thread structure 112156. The second locking nut 11252 can be understood as a nut, and the second locking nut 11252 is provided with a threaded hole.
[0233] Correspondingly, the second connecting terminal 11216 is provided with a second connecting hole 112164, which can be a through hole or a threaded hole. The second connecting hole 112164 can be arranged on a sheet-shaped structure part of the second connecting terminal 11216. For example, the second connecting part 112161 of the second connecting terminal 11216 is in a sheet shape or a plate shape, and the second connecting part 112161 can also be understood as a bar structure. Alternatively, the second connecting terminal 11216 can be understood as a bar structure as a whole, and the second connecting hole 112164 is arranged on the second connecting part 112161.
[0234] Correspondingly, the second conductive input part 11223 is provided with a second conductive hole 112231, which can be a through hole or a threaded hole. The second conductive input part 11223 can be a sheet-shaped structure part of the second conductive part 1122. For example, the second conductive part 1122 is in an irregularly bent sheet shape, and the second conductive input part 11223 is a part of the sheet-shaped structure, and the second conductive hole 112231 is arranged on the sheet-shaped part.
[0235] The second connecting terminal 11216 and the second conductive input part 11223 are in abutment or lapping, and the second connecting hole 112164 and the second conductive hole 112231 are both arranged at the abutment or lapping position. Therefore, the second locking post 11251 is respectively threaded with the second connecting hole 112164 and the second conductive hole 112231, and the end of the second locking post 11251 extending out of the second connecting hole 112164 and the second conductive hole 112231 is screwed with the second locking nut 11252, thereby limiting and fixing the second connecting terminal 11216 and the second conductive input part 11223.
[0236] In the embodiment, the second locking assembly 1125 adopts the threaded connection between the second locking post 11251 and the second locking nut 11252, thereby realizing the detachable connection between the second conductive input part 11223 and the second connecting terminal 11216, and making the installation and disassembly of the second connecting terminal 11216 and the second conductive part 1122 more flexible and convenient.
[0237] Referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, in some embodiments, the first conductive output part 11222 and the second conductive output part 11224 form a plug-in port structure 1126 on the bearing seat 1124.
[0238] Specifically, the plug-in port structure 1126 can be understood as a plug-in terminal capable of plug-in conduction with an opposite port structure. For example, the plug-in port structure 1126 is a male terminal, and the opposite port structure can be a female terminal. The male terminal can be plug-in conducted with the female terminal. It can be understood that the opposite female terminal should be connected to the battery management main control board 1127, and the connection conduction between the second conductive part 1122 and the battery management main control board 1127 is realized by plug-in port.
[0239] For the first conductive output part 11222 and the second conductive output part 11224, they can be understood as independent pins or pins in the plug-in port structure 1126. A plurality of pins and pins integrated on the plug shell can form the entire plug-in port structure 1126. In the present embodiment, the bearing seat 1124 corresponds to the plug shell, and plays a role of bearing and supporting each first conductive output part 11222 and second conductive output part 11224.
[0240] Then, the second conductive part 1122 can be understood as an integrated copper bar structure. The copper bar structure forms a conductive link connecting the first conductive input part 11221 and the first conductive output part 11222, and forms another conductive link connecting the second conductive input part 11223 and the second conductive output part 11224. The second conductive part 1122 is an integrated conductive copper bar.
[0241] In the present embodiment, by forming the plug-in port structure 1126 on the bearing seat 1124, the connection conduction between the second conductive part 1122 and the battery management main control board 1127 can be more convenient to realize, and the convenience of connection is improved.
[0242] Referring to FIG. 12, in some embodiments, the second conductive component 1122 includes an integrated body 11225, a first input conductive body 11226, a first output conductive body 11227, a second input conductive body 11228, and a second output conductive body 11229; one end of the first input conductive body 11226 and one end of the first output conductive body 11227 are connected to the integrated body 11225 and are connected in conduction through the integrated body 11225, the other end of the first input conductive body 11226 away from the integrated body 11225 forms a first conductive input portion 11221, and the other end of the first output conductive body 11227 away from the integrated body 11225 forms a first conductive output portion 11222; one end of the second input conductive body 11228 and one end of the second output conductive body 11229 are connected to the integrated body 11225 and are connected in conduction through the integrated body 11225, the other end of the second input conductive body 11228 away from the integrated body 11225 forms a second conductive input portion 11223, and the other end of the second output conductive body 11229 away from the integrated body 11225 forms a second conductive output portion 11224.
[0243] Specifically, the integrated body 11225 can be understood as an intermediate connecting portion, and the first input conductive body 11226, the first output conductive body 11227, the second input conductive body 11228, and the second output conductive body 11229 can be connected through the integrated body 11225; for example, the integrated body 11225, the first input conductive body 11226, the first output conductive body 11227, the second input conductive body 11228, and the second output conductive body 11229 can be an integrally formed conductive sheet structure; for example, the second conductive component 1122 can be a sheet-shaped copper bar structure, and the first input conductive body 11226, the first output conductive body 11227, the second input conductive body 11228, and the second output conductive body 11229 can be a plurality of tabs extending outward from the copper bar structure; it can be known that the first input conductive body 11226, the first output conductive body 11227, the second input conductive body 11228, and the second output conductive body 11229 each have two extension ends.
[0244] Therefore, one end of the first input conductive body 11226 away from the integrated body 11225 and connected with the first connection terminal 11215 forms a first conductive input part 11221, one end of the first output conductive body 11227 away from the integrated body 11225 and connected with the battery management main control board 1127 forms a first conductive output part 11222, one end of the second input conductive body 11228 away from the integrated body 11225 and connected with the second connection terminal 11216 forms a second conductive input part 11223, and one end of the second output conductive body 11229 away from the integrated body 11225 and connected with the battery management main control board 1127 forms a second conductive output part 11224.
[0245] In the embodiment, the second conductive part 1122 is integrated with the integrated body 11225 in the integrated structure of the first input conductive body 11226, the first output conductive body 11227, the second input conductive body 11228, and the second output conductive body 11229, which is conducive to improving the integration between components, reducing the number of components, and improving the convenience of assembly.
[0246] In some embodiments, the second conductive part 1122 and the bearing seat 1124 are an integral structure formed by injection molding.
[0247] The bearing seat 1124 is used to support and carry the second conductive part 1122, so when the bearing seat 1124 is prepared, the second conductive part 1122 can be directly buried or embedded on the bearing seat 1124, for example, the bearing seat 1124 and the second conductive part 1122 are integrally formed by injection molding.
[0248] Specifically, the position or part of the second conductive part 1122 that directly contacts and fixes the bearing seat 1124 can be the integrated body 11225. When the second conductive part 1122 and the bearing seat 1124 are prepared and assembled, the integrated body 11225 on the second conductive part 1122 can first be an integral sheet structure, and after the second conductive part 1122 and the bearing seat 1124 are assembled, the integrated body 11225 can be punched to correspond to the conduction between the first input conductive body 11226 and the first output conductive body 11227, and the conduction between the second input conductive body 11228 and the second output conductive body 11229, thereby facilitating the convenience of assembly.
