Solution Overview

Problem

Existing connectors used for connecting wire harnesses and busbars in power batteries are prone to loosening during vehicle vibrations, leading to increased internal resistance and acquisition failures due to repeated insertion and extraction, affecting data stability and productivity.

Innovation Solution

A connecting terminal for acquisition wire harness with an intermediate connecting portion, wire harness connecting portion, and busbar connecting portion, which is clamped and welded to an accommodating portion on the busbar, ensuring a stable connection that resists vibration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a flag-shaped connector is used for connection between wire harness and busbar, then the connection structure is simple and easy to install, but the connector is easily loosened during vehicle vibration, leading to increased contact internal resistance and acquisition failures

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of installationVSAvoidconnection stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The connecting terminal is divided into three distinct portions: an intermediate connecting portion, a wire harness connecting portion, and a busbar connecting portion. Each portion serves a specific function and can be optimized independently, while the fixed connection between portions ensures overall structural stability during vibration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines the functions of connection, fixation, and electrical conduction into a single integrated connecting terminal structure. The terminal merges the wire harness connection and busbar connection into one component, eliminating the need for separate flag-shaped connectors and reducing assembly steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If repeated insertion and extraction of the flag-shaped connector is performed, then loose connections can be corrected, but too many times of pulling out and inserting cause permanent looseness and acquisition abnormalities

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection reliabilityVSAvoidassembly efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The connecting terminal is pre-designed with an optimal connection structure that prevents loosening from occurring in the first place. The fixed connection between the intermediate connecting portion and the busbar connecting portion is established during manufacturing, eliminating the need for field adjustments or reinsertion operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If a stable connection structure is implemented to prevent loosening during vibration, then acquisition reliability improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata acquisition reliabilityVSAvoidconnector structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The connecting terminal applies local quality by providing different structural characteristics in different portions: the intermediate connecting portion has a fixed rigid connection for stability, the wire harness connecting portion has pressing capability for secure attachment, and the busbar connecting portion has clamping function. Each portion is optimized for its specific function while maintaining overall simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
