Detailed Description
Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be embodied in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.
First embodiment
As shown in fig. 1 to 4, the battery pack provided by the embodiment of the invention includes a plurality of battery modules 10 and a plurality of bus bar welding brackets 20 (only one battery module 10 and one bus bar welding bracket 20 are shown in the drawings). The battery module 10 includes a plurality of battery cells 11 stacked together, and the busbar welding bracket 20 is detachably fixed above the battery module 10, so that the placing space 23 arranged on the busbar welding bracket 20 is utilized to limit the busbar 30, so that the busbar observation hole 31 arranged on the busbar 30 is aligned with the battery cell observation hole on the battery module 10, and the busbar 30 and the positive and negative poles of the battery cells 11 are conveniently welded together, thereby realizing the series connection of the plurality of battery cells 11. When the welding of the bus bar 30 is completed, the bus bar welding bracket 20 can be detached from the battery module 10 without affecting the height of the battery pack.
It should be noted that the busbar welding bracket 20 is applicable to all single-row modules stacked by square aluminum-shell cells, and the cells may be all capacity cells in the market. In the present invention, the battery module 10 and the bus bar welding bracket 20 may be in a one-to-one or one-to-many manner. That is, one bus bar welding holder 20 is provided to each battery module 10, or one bus bar welding holder 20 is shared by a plurality of battery modules 10, or a plurality of bus bar welding holders 20 are provided to one battery module 10. In this embodiment, the battery modules 10 and the busbar welding brackets 20 are in a one-to-one correspondence.
Referring to fig. 5, the busbar welding bracket 20 includes a first bracket 21 and a second bracket 22, wherein the first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22 are respectively fixed at two sides of the battery module 10, and the length direction of the first bracket is the same as the stacking direction of the battery cells 11 in the battery module 10. When the first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22 are fixed on the battery module 10, the first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22 are spliced together, and the corresponding ends thereof are attached to each other, thereby forming a complete busbar welding bracket 20. The outer contour of the bus bar welding bracket 20 is substantially the same as that of the corresponding battery module 10, so that the bus bar welding bracket 20 can be accurately fixed to the battery module 10.
The first and second brackets 21, 22 are made of an insulating hard (hardness > 90 HBW) material, such as one of bakelite, modified phenolic resin, other plastics with similar properties. In other embodiments of the present invention, the bus bar welding bracket 20 may also be manufactured by wrapping plastic around metal. If the busbar welding bracket 20 is manufactured by wrapping plastic outside metal, the strength requirement on the plastic can be properly lowered, so long as the overall hardness of the metal and plastic shell is ensured to be more than 90 HBW.
Referring to fig. 6, the first bracket 21 includes a first connecting wall 211 extending along the stacking direction of the cells 11, and a first middle limiting portion 212, a first side limiting portion 213 and a first supporting portion 214 connected to the first connecting wall 211.

Specifically, the first middle limiting part 212 and the first supporting part 214 extend horizontally inward from the middle of the first connection wall 211, the first side limiting part 213 extends horizontally inward from both ends of the first connection wall 211, and a first bottom plate 219 extending horizontally is connected between one side of the first side limiting part 213 near the first connection wall 211 and the first middle limiting part 212 near it.
A placement space 23 for placing the bus bar 30 is formed between adjacent first intermediate limiting portions 212, and between the first intermediate limiting portions 212 and the first side limiting portions 213. Specifically, the bus bar 30 includes an intra-module bus bar 32 located at the middle of the battery module 10, and a total bus bar 33 located at the edge of the battery module 10 for connecting the battery module 10 with external power lines. The placement space 23 includes a first placement space 231 formed between adjacent first intermediate limiting portions 212, and a second placement space 232 formed between the first intermediate limiting portions 212 and the first side limiting portions 213. The first placing space 231 is used for placing the in-module bus bar 32, and the second placing space 232 is used for placing the total bus bar 33. The first supporting portions 214 are located between the first middle limiting portions 212 and are used for supporting the long in-module bus bars 32. The first protrusion 214a extending along the length direction is formed at the middle of the first support 214, and the shape of the first protrusion 214a is matched with the shape of the recess formed by punching the middle of the in-module bus bar 32, so that the first protrusion 214a can extend into the recess in the middle of the in-module bus bar 32, the in-module bus bar 32 can be accurately positioned when being placed in the first placing space 231, and the first bracket 21 plays a guiding role when being pulled out from the battery module 10 after welding is completed, so that the first bracket 21 can be detached more conveniently. In addition, the first supporting portion 214 can also function to support the in-module bus bar 32, so as to prevent the in-module bus bar 32 from being deformed due to a large length, resulting in inaccurate welding.
The first connection wall 211 protrudes inward at a portion between the first middle limiting portions 212, and a first limiting surface 211a is formed at an inner side of the first connection wall 211. The first limit portion 213 is formed with a first limit plate 215 perpendicular to the first limit portion 213 and the first connecting wall 211, a second limit surface 215a is formed on the inner side of the first limit plate 215, a first fixing portion 216 is formed at a connection position of the first limit plate 215 and the first connecting wall 211, and the first fixing portion 216 includes a first fixing column 216a and a first through hole 216b provided in the first fixing column 216 a. The first bracket 21 can be fixed to the battery module 10 by screws screwed into the first fixing parts 216. In the embodiment of the present invention, the first through hole 216b may be a circular hole or an oblong hole. When the first through hole 216b is a oblong hole, the adaptability between the first bracket 21 and the battery module 10 can be increased, so that the first bracket 21 can be fixed to the battery module 10 even when there is a processing error between the first bracket 21 and the battery module 10. When the first through hole 216b is a circular hole, the processing accuracy requirements for the first bracket 21 and the battery module 10 are high.
Referring to fig. 7, a first limiting block 217 is formed on the first middle limiting portion 212 and the first bottom plate 219, a second limiting block 218 is formed on the first middle limiting portion 212 and the first side limiting portion 213, the first limiting block 217 and the second limiting block 218 cooperate in the first placing space 231 to define a position of the bus bar 32 in the module, and the second limiting surface 215a cooperates with the first limiting block 217 and the second limiting block 218 in the second placing space 232 to define a position of the bus bar 33.
Specifically, the first bottom plate 219 and the first side limiting portion 213 are respectively provided with a first notch 217a and a second notch 218a on the side corresponding to the second placing space 232, the first middle limiting portion 212 is also provided with a first notch 217a and a second notch 218a on the side corresponding to the first placing space 231, and the first limiting block 217 and the second limiting block 218 extend from the first notch 217a and the second notch 218a respectively. The first stopper 217 includes a connection portion 217b connected to the first middle limiting portion 212 or the first bottom plate 219 and being flush with the first middle limiting portion 212 or the first bottom plate 219 in a horizontal direction, an extension portion 217c extending from a distal end of the connection portion 217b along the vertical connection portion 217b and in a direction away from the first middle limiting portion 212 or the first bottom plate 219, and a latch 217d extending toward the first placing space 231 or the second placing space 232 at a distal end of the extension portion 217 c. The surface of the extension portion 217c near the first placing space 231 or the second placing space 232 is recessed inward relative to the surface of the first middle limiting portion 212 or the first bottom plate 219 near the first placing space 231 or the second placing space 232, so that the in-module bus bar 32 or the total bus bar 33 can be placed on the upper surface of the first middle limiting portion 212 or the first bottom plate 219. The distance between the lower surface of the latch 217d and the upper surface of the first middle limiting portion 212 or the first bottom plate 219 is equal to the thickness of the in-module bus bar 32 or the total bus bar 33, so as to ensure the position stability of the in-module bus bar 32 or the total bus bar 33 in the corresponding placement space 23. The second stopper 218 is a finger extending from the edge of the first middle stopper 212 or the first side stopper 213 toward the inside of the corresponding placement space 23, and includes an elastic arm 218b perpendicular to the corresponding edge of the first middle stopper 212 or the first side stopper 213, and a pressing block 218c extending from the end of the elastic arm 218b in a direction away from the first middle stopper 212 or the first side stopper 213. When the bus bar 30 needs to be placed, the second limiting block 218 can be pressed in the direction close to the battery module 10 along the vertical direction, so that the bus bar 30 can be conveniently pushed into the corresponding placement space 23 along the horizontal direction.
