By arranging the buffer sheets 48 between the BMU bracket 42 and the first connecting strip 34, the first connecting strip 34 is interference-fitted on the BMU bracket 42, so as not to shake.
[0058] In some embodiments, with continued reference to FIGS. 4 and 7, the first connecting strip 34 includes a first connecting section 344, a second connecting section 345 and a third connecting section 346 connected in sequence, the first connecting section 344 being electrically connected to the output end of the negative busbar 32 of the battery pack 2, and the first connecting section 344 and one end of the negative busbar 32 being fixed on the top end surface of the busbar fixing seat 36, the second connecting section 345 being fixed on the BMU bracket 42, and the third connecting section 346 being connected to one end of the fuse 51.

[0059] In the related art, the fuse 51 is usually directly fixed inside the battery box, and the fuse generates heat during operation. If the heat cannot be dissipated in time, it will affect the normal operation of the fuse and its reliability.
[0060] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIGS. 2, 3, 8-12, a heat dissipation structure is arranged between the fuse bracket 52 and the fuse 51, and is used for heat dissipation of the fuse 51. By arranging the heat dissipation structure, the heat generated by the fuse 51 during operation can be dissipated through the heat dissipation structure, so that the fuse 51 can operate normally, and the safety performance of the battery pack is improved.
[0061] In a specific implementation, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the fuse bracket 52 includes a base body 521 and a fixing portion 522 connected vertically, the base body 521 being substantially parallel to the end surface of the battery pack 2, and the fixing portion 522 being parallel to the bottom plate 12. The base body 521 abuts against the end plate 81, and the fixing portion 522 includes two fixing feet 523, each of which is provided with a fixing hole 524 arranged as a bolt through hole so as to fix the fuse bracket 52 on the bottom plate 12.
[0062] The fuse 51 comprises a fuse tube 511, two connecting pieces 512 and two insulating columns 513. The fuse tube 511 is usually made of high-temperature-resistant insulating material, and a fuse body is arranged in the interior of the fuse tube 511. When the current of the circuit connected between the battery pack 10 and the external load is normal, the fuse body allows the current to pass without being fused. When abnormal conditions such as overloading or short circuit occur in the circuit connected between the battery pack 10 and the external load, the current will rapidly increase, thereby generating a large amount of heat, causing the temperature of the fuse body to rapidly rise, reaching the melting point of the fuse body, and the fuse body is fused, thereby disconnecting the circuit connection between the battery pack 10 and the external load. The two connecting pieces 512 are respectively connected to the two ends of the fuse tube 511, and each connecting piece 512 is connected to the base body part 521 of the fuse holder 52 through an insulating column 513.
[0063] The heat dissipation structure is arranged as a heat dissipation interval. In the length direction of the battery pack 10, the length direction of the battery pack 10 is arranged as the X direction shown in FIG. 2, and the first heat dissipation interval 531 is formed between the base body part 521 of the fuse holder 52 and the fuse tube 511 of the fuse 51. In the height direction of the battery pack 10, the height direction of the battery pack 10 is arranged as the Z direction shown in FIG. 2, and the second heat dissipation interval 532 is formed between the bottom end face where the fixing part 522 of the fuse holder 52 is located and the fuse tube 511 of the fuse 51. The heat generated by the fuse tube 511 of the fuse 51 during operation can directly enter the first heat dissipation interval 531 and the second heat dissipation interval 532. Moreover, the fuse 51 is fixed to the bottom plate 12 of the box body 1 through the fuse holder 52, and the bottom plate 12 of the box body 1 is integrated with a liquid cooling plate, so that the heat generated by the fuse 51 can be rapidly exchanged with the bottom plate 12 after being diffused in the first heat dissipation interval 531 and the second heat dissipation interval 532.
[0064] Continuing to refer to FIGS. 8 and 9, the fuse assembly 5 further comprises an insulating sheet 54 fixed to the base body part 521 of the fuse holder 52 and arranged at the bottom of the insulating column 513 of the fuse 51 and the base body part 521 of the fuse holder 52, thereby enhancing the insulation performance of the fuse assembly 5. Specifically, one end of each insulating column 513 is electrically connected to one connecting piece 512 of the fuse 51, and the other end of each insulating column 513 is sequentially arranged through the insulating sheet 54 and the base body part 521 of the fuse holder 51.
[0065] In another embodiment provided in the present application, as shown in FIGS. 10-12, the heat dissipation structure includes a heat conduction support 56 connected to the fuse support 52. The heat conduction support 56 includes a support portion 561 and a heat conduction portion 562 connected to each other, the fuse 51 is fixed to the support portion 561, and the heat conduction portion 562 is provided with a heat conduction cavity 563 in which a heat conduction material is arranged. The heat conduction material can be a heat conduction glue. The support portion 561 is provided with a heat dissipation opening 564 in communication with the heat conduction cavity 563. The heat generated by the fuse 51 fixed to the support portion 561 enters the heat conduction cavity 563 through the heat dissipation opening 564 and is absorbed by the heat conduction material in the heat conduction cavity 563.
[0066] The fuse support 52 includes a base portion 521 and a fixing portion 522 connected vertically, wherein the base portion 521 is substantially parallel to the end face of the battery pack 2, and the fixing portion 522 is parallel to the bottom plate 12. The base portion 521 abuts against the end plate 81, and the fixing portion 522 includes two fixing legs 523, each of which is provided with a fixing hole 524 arranged as a bolt through hole so as to fix the fuse support 52 to the bottom plate 12.
[0067] The support portion 561 of the heat conduction support 56 includes a bottom wall 5611 and a side wall 5612 connected vertically. The bottom wall 5611 is arranged as a curved surface so that the fuse tube 511 of the fuse 51 can be placed on the bottom wall 5611. The heat dissipation opening 564 is arranged at the center of the bottom wall 5611, thereby facilitating the heat generated by the fuse tube 511 of the fuse 51 to be evenly diffused through the heat dissipation opening 564.
[0068] With reference to FIGS. 11 and 12, the bottom wall 5611 further includes a groove 5613, and the heat dissipation opening 564 is located on the bottom surface of the groove 5613, which includes a first portion 5614 and a second portion 5615. The first portion 5614 is arranged close to the heat dissipation opening 564, and the second portion 5615 is arranged away from the heat dissipation opening 564. The first portion 5614 is lower than the second portion 5615, and the fuse 51 is supported on the second portion 5615. By arranging the groove 5613 with the first portion 5614 and the second portion 5615 having different heights on the bottom wall 5611, the groove 5613 is fully adapted to the fuse tube 511 of the fuse 51. It can be understood that the fuse tube 511 is usually arranged as a cylindrical structure, the second portion 5615 with a higher height is arranged to support the two end portions of the fuse 51, and the first portion 5614 with a lower height is arranged to fully accommodate the fuse tube 511, so that the fuse 51 can be stably supported on the bottom wall 5611.
[0069] The first part 5614 with a lower height is close to the heat dissipation opening 564 which is spaced from the heat generating main body 511 of the fuse tube 51, so that the end opening of the heat dissipation opening 564 is not blocked by the fuse tube 511 placed in the groove 5613, thereby affecting the heat dissipation effect.
[0070] The side wall 5612 is fixed to the base body 521 of the fuse holder 52, and the side wall 5612 and the base body 521 of the fuse holder 52 are both provided with perforations. The fuse tube 511 of the fuse 51 is provided with a connecting piece 512 at both ends. One end of each insulating column 513 is electrically connected to the connecting piece 512, and the other end of each insulating column 513 is sequentially arranged through the perforations on the side wall 5612 of the heat conduction holder 56 and the perforations on the base body 521 of the fuse holder 52. Since the heat conduction holder 56 is made of plastic material, the side wall 5612 of the heat conduction holder 56 can further enhance the insulation effect between the insulating column 513 and the fuse holder 52.
