Further, any one of the two pins in the same power structure 30 is connected to the corresponding busbar connection portion and is adjacent to or spaced apart from the other busbar connection portion side by side.
As shown in fig. 16 to 17, the first pin 331 of the first connection foot 311 is connected to the third busbar connection portion 2031 and spaced apart from the first busbar connection portion 2011, the third pin 333 of the first connection foot 311 is connected to the first busbar connection portion 2011 and spaced apart from the third busbar connection portion 2031, the first pin 331 of the second connection foot 321 is connected to the second busbar connection portion 2021 and spaced apart from the third busbar connection portion 2031, and the third pin 333 of the second connection foot 321 is connected to the third busbar connection portion 2031 and spaced apart from the second busbar connection portion 2021.
In some alternative embodiments, any one of the two pins in the same power structure 30 is connected to a corresponding busbar connection, and the busbar connection through hole on one busbar connection is located outside the outline of the other busbar connection. As shown in fig. 16 to 17, the first pin 331 of the first connection leg 311 is connected to the third busbar connection portion 2031 with the third busbar connection portion through hole 2034 on the third busbar connection portion 2031 being located outside the outline of the first busbar connection portion 2011, the third pin 333 of the first connection leg 311 is connected to the first busbar connection portion 2011 with the first busbar connection portion through hole 2014 on the first busbar connection portion 2011 being located outside the outline of the third busbar connection portion 2031, the first pin 331 of the second connection leg 321 is connected to the second busbar connection portion 2021 with the second busbar connection portion through hole 2024 on the second busbar connection portion 2021 being located outside the outline of the third busbar connection portion 2031, and the third pin 333 of the second connection leg 321 is connected to the third busbar connection portion 2031 with the third busbar connection portion 2034 on the third busbar connection portion 2031 being located outside the outline of the second busbar connection portion 2021.
Referring to fig. 24-26, the remaining one pin of the same power structure 30 is adapted to be connected to the driving circuit board 2000, and the remaining one pin is directly connected to the driving circuit board 2000 in a form without shielding of a busbar connection portion. For example, the second pin 332 of the first power structure 31 is connected to the driving circuit board 2000 without shielding a busbar connection between the second pin 332 of the first power structure 31 and the driving circuit board 2000, and the second pin 332 of the second power structure 32 is connected to the driving circuit board 2000 without shielding a busbar connection between the second pin 332 of the second power structure 32 and the driving circuit board 2000.
In some alternative embodiments, referring to fig. 1,3, 16-17, 19-21, and 25, the same power structure 30 has a first pin 331, a second pin 332, and a third pin 333, where the third pin 333 is located between the first pin 331 and the second pin 332, and referring to fig. 2,4, 8, 18, and 26, the third pin 333 is located outside the first pin 331 and the second pin 332 with respect to the power structure 30, and the pins are staggered, so as to facilitate reasonably arranging connection points of the power structure 30 corresponding to the busbar. The gap between the first pin 331 and the second pin 332 allows one busbar connection to be inserted, and the busbar connection is penetratingly connected with the third pin 333.
For example, the gap between the first pin 331 and the second pin 332 of the first power structure 31 allows the first busbar connection 2011 to be inserted, and the first busbar connection 2011 is penetratingly connected with the third pin 333 of the first power structure 31. The gap between the first pin 331 and the second pin 332 of the second power structure 32 allows the third busbar connection 2031 to be inserted, and the third busbar connection 2031 is penetratingly connected with the third pin 333 of the second power structure 32.
Further, the busbar connection portion penetrating the first pin 331 and the busbar connection portion penetrating the third pin 333 are partially stacked or staggered in the stacking direction of the plurality of busbars, for example, as shown in fig. 16 to 17, the third busbar connection portion 2031 penetrating the first pin 331 of the first power structure 31 and the first busbar connection portion 2011 penetrating the third pin 333 are partially stacked or staggered in the stacking direction of the plurality of busbars, and the second busbar connection portion 2021 penetrating the first pin 331 of the second power structure 32 and the third busbar connection portion 2031 penetrating the third pin 333 are partially stacked or staggered in the stacking direction of the plurality of busbars. The design ensures that the welding spots of the power structure and the metal busbar are positioned at the convex positions of the edges of the busbar, and when the traditional welding process is used, the welding heat can be well kept at the welding spots, and the threshold of the production process is lower, so that the traditional process can be used for mass production.
Referring to fig. 24-26, the second pins 332 of the first power structure 31 and the second pins 332 of the second power structure 32 are adapted to be directly connected to the driving circuit board 2000.
Specifically, one of the first busbar 201 and the second busbar 202 is a positive busbar and the other is a negative busbar. The third busbar 203 is a phase row. For example, the first busbar 201 is a positive busbar, the second busbar 202 is a negative busbar, or the first busbar 201 is a negative busbar and the second busbar 202 is a positive busbar.
Further, the power cell assembly 1000 may further include a busbar clamp (not shown) for clamping the first busbar 201 and the second busbar 202, thereby facilitating the fitting of the first busbar 201 and the second busbar 202, and shortening the distance between the first busbar 201 and the second busbar 202, thereby further shortening the height dimension of the power cell assembly 1000.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 16 to 26, each of the first, second, and third bus bars 201, 202, and 203 is rectangular in shape, and the first, second, and third bus bars 201, 202, and 203 are arranged in a stack in the thickness direction of the bus bars, with bus bar connecting portions formed on the longitudinal long sides of the corresponding bus bars. Specifically, the first busbar connection 2011 is formed on a first side longitudinal long edge of the first busbar 201, the second busbar connection 2021 is formed on a second side longitudinal long edge of the second busbar 202, and the third busbar connection 2031 is formed on both side longitudinal long edges of the third busbar 203.
Referring to fig. 16-17 and 19-23, a first busbar transfer end plate 2012 is disposed at one end of the first busbar 201, a second busbar transfer end plate 2022 is disposed at one end of the second busbar 202, the first busbar transfer end plate 2012 and the second busbar transfer end plate 2022 are disposed at the same end and side by side, and a third busbar transfer end plate 2032 is disposed at the other end of the third busbar 203 opposite to the first busbar transfer end plate 2012, thereby facilitating a rational arrangement of the transfer end plates of the respective busbars.
In some alternative embodiments, the first busbar 201, the second busbar 202, and the third busbar 203 are each flat-plate busbars, thereby facilitating further reduction in the dimensions of the power cell assembly 1000 in the height direction.
In some embodiments, which may not be shown, the busbar connection portion is provided with a through slot allowing the pins to pass through, and the through slot extends in a direction away from the busbar and penetrates an outer edge of the busbar connection portion away from the busbar. For example, the through slot may be a "U" shaped slot with an opening facing outward, thereby facilitating threading or removal of the pins from the through slot.
In some alternative embodiments, the surface of the busbar is entirely covered with an insulating film, which can prevent the busbar from being electrically connected with other pins, and the insulating performance between two adjacent busbars is better.
