[0002] With the rapid development of new energy vehicles, the performance requirements for new energy vehicles are becoming more comprehensive, and the energy density requirements for lithium-ion batteries, which are the main power source of new energy vehicles, are becoming higher and higher. However, since soft-pack batteries are packaged with aluminum-plastic film, the shell is almost weightless, and they have the characteristics of light weight, small size, high energy density, and flexibility in module design, which has won the favor of many power PACK manufacturers. In actual use, soft-pack power batteries usually first connect the battery cells in parallel or in series or in series and parallel to make modules, and then combine them into battery PACKs.

[0003] Since the positive and negative tabs of the soft-pack battery are metal sheets, they are not stable enough after installation and the tabs are prone to shaking, which may cause damage to the tabs. In addition, if the force in the direction of the upper battery acts directly on the battery tabs, the battery tabs are prone to breakage. Therefore, in the design of the battery module, the connection and fixation of the soft-pack battery requires rigid module plastic parts to support it in order to better protect the safety of the battery cell tabs. Summary of the invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a plastic module structure with a protective mechanism. By arranging a copper-aluminum joint, the battery tab can be protected, reducing the risk of damage to the battery tab due to force. In addition, by arranging a plastic part, when the battery cell tab is subjected to force in the direction of the upper battery, the mechanical force is borne by the plastic part, thereby increasing the safety of the battery, so as to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.
