Abstract

A power connection box is disclosed for a hybrid vehicle and includes a current supply member and a lead line installation member. The current supply member has a first main relay, a second main relay, a bus bar, and a preliminary relay. The bus bar is connected to the first main relay and has a side connected to a battery and an opposite side connected to an inverter. The preliminary relay is positioned between the first main relay and the bus bar connected to the first main relay. The lead line installation member has a plurality of lead lines connected to the first main relay, the second main relay, and the preliminary relay.

Claims (18)

1. A power connection box for a hybrid vehicle, comprising:

a current supply member having

a first main relay,

a second main relay,

a bus bar connected to the first main relay having a side connected to a battery and an opposite side connected to an inverter, and

a preliminary relay positioned between the first main relay and the bus bar connected to the first main relay; and

a lead line installation member having

a lead line housing separate from the current supply member, the battery, and the inverter and positioned between the battery and the inverter,

a printed circuit board attached to the lead line housing and having a circuit pattern and a plurality of terminal connection ports, and

a plurality of lead lines each having a first end detachably engageable with the terminal connection ports to connect the lead lines to the circuit pattern and an opposite second end attached to one of the first main relay, the second main relay, and the preliminary relay, the lead lines providing operating power between the circuit pattern and the first main relay, the second main relay, and the preliminary relay.

2. The power connection box of claim 1 , wherein the terminal connection ports are a plug-in type ports.

3. The power connection box of claim 1 , wherein the printed circuit board includes a preliminary resistor connected with the preliminary relay and the first main relay.

4. The power connection box of claim 1 , further comprising:

an operating power relay provided on the printed circuit board; and

a device connector provided on a side of the operating power relay.

5. The power connection box of claim 4 , further comprising a controller connected to the printed circuit board and disposed in the lead line housing.

6. The power connection box of claim 5 , wherein the lead lines are connected to the controller through the operating power relay.

7. The power connection box of claim 1 , wherein the bus bar is physically connected between the battery and the first main relay.
