[0046] Please refer to Figures 1-5 The battery device 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application includes a box body 12, a battery monomer 14 and a partition plate 16.
[0047] The box body 12 is provided with a cavity 18, and the partition plate 16 divides the cavity 18 into a flow guide cavity 20 and a containing cavity 22. The flow guide cavity 20 is in communication with the outside of the box body 12, and the flow guide cavity 20 is separated from the containing cavity 22. The battery monomer 14 is located in the containing cavity 22, and the battery monomer 14 includes a burst valve 24. The side wall of the containing cavity 22 corresponding to the burst valve 24 is provided with a cover member 26, the cover member 26 covers the burst valve 24, the cover member 26 is provided with a burst cavity 28 corresponding to the burst valve 24, the burst cavity 28 is separated from the flow guide cavity 20, and the cover member 26 is connected with a weak part 30. The weak part 30 is configured to be broken under the impact of the gas sprayed by the burst valve 24 to make the flow guide cavity 20 and the burst cavity 28 communicate.
[0048] In the battery device 100, when the battery cell 14 does not occur thermal runaway, the accommodation cavity 22 is separated from the flow guide cavity 20, and the explosion-proof cavity 28 is separated from the flow guide cavity 20, so that the air and moisture outside the box body 12 cannot enter the accommodation cavity 22 through the flow guide cavity 20, ensuring the normal use of the battery device 100. When the battery cell 14 occurs thermal runaway, the weak part 30 is configured to be broken under the impact of the gas sprayed by the explosion-proof valve 24 to make the flow guide cavity 20 communicate with the explosion-proof cavity 28, and then the gas sprayed by the explosion-proof valve 24 can be discharged outside the box body 12 through the flow guide cavity 20.
[0049] Specifically, the box body 12 can be a metal box body or a non-metal box body, which is not specifically limited here. When the box body 12 is a metal box body, an insulating film can be optionally arranged between the battery cell 14 and the side wall of the box body 12 to insulate the box body 12 from the battery cell 14. When the box body 12 is a non-metal box body, the structural strength of the box body 12 needs to be ensured.
[0050] In Figure 3 , the box body 12 includes a lower cavity 32 and an upper cover 34, and the lower cavity 32 connects the upper cover 34 and encloses the cavity 18. Optionally, the upper cover 34 is detachably connected to the lower cavity 32 to facilitate the maintenance and assembly of the battery device 100.
[0051] The lower cavity 32 includes a front plate 36, and the outer side of the front plate 36 is provided with a fan 38, two connection ends 40 and a control board 42. The two connection ends 40 can be electrically connected to external equipment to supply power to the external equipment or charge the battery cell 14 by the external equipment.
[0052] The front plate 36 is provided with an exhaust port, and the fan 38 is installed at the exhaust port. The fan 38 can discharge the air in the accommodation cavity 22 to the outside of the box body 12 from the exhaust port to cool the battery cell 14. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the battery device 100 can also use a liquid cooling plate to dissipate heat from the battery cell 14, and is not limited to the fan 38 for heat dissipation, which is not specifically limited here.
[0053] The control board 42 can be electrically connected to the battery cell 14 to collect state signals of the battery cell 14, including but not limited to temperature, power, voltage and other signals, to control the operating state of the battery device 100, such as heat dissipation, charging, discharging or protection of the battery cell 14.
[0054] The partition plate 16 can separate the cavity 18 into the flow guide cavity 20 and the accommodation cavity 22. In Figure 9 , the lower cavity 32 connects the upper cover 34 and encloses the cavity 18, and the partition plate 16 is arranged on the inner side of the upper cover 34. In this way, the assembly efficiency of the battery device 100 can be improved.
[0055] Specifically, the partition plate 16 is arranged at the inner side of the upper cover 34, and the lower cavity 32 is provided with the accommodating cavity 22, so that when the upper cover 34 is mounted on the lower cavity 32, the partition plate 16 can divide the hollow cavity 18 into the flow guide cavity 20 and the accommodating cavity 22, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the battery device 100. It can be understood that the partition plate 16 can also be arranged on other side plates of the box body 12, and is not limited to the upper cover 34.
[0056] When the battery monomer 14 occurs thermal runaway, the high-pressure gas sprayed by the explosion-proof valve 24 can break the weak part 30, and the high-pressure gas enters the flow guide cavity 20 through the broken part and is discharged to the outside of the box body 12.
[0057] Further, the battery monomers 14 are regularly arranged in a certain order, and the spacing and size of different explosion-proof valves 24 are defined. Therefore, considering the case of battery monomer 14 spray valve (explosion-proof valve 24 explosion), the side wall of the battery monomer 14 above the explosion-proof valve 24 and connected with the cover member 26 is processed to form a weak part 30. The cover member 26 corresponds to the explosion-proof valve 24 in the height direction of the battery device 100. When the battery monomer 14 occurs thermal runaway, in addition to spraying high-pressure gas, other substances will also be sprayed from the explosion-proof valve 24. The other substances sprayed from the explosion-proof valve 24 can pass through the broken part into the flow guide cavity 20 and fall in the flow guide cavity 20, avoiding other substances falling on other battery monomers 14 to cause more battery monomers 14 thermal runaway, thereby improving the safety of the battery device 100.
[0058] In Figure 1 , the height direction of the battery device 100 can be the up-down direction, the length direction can be the front-rear direction, and the width direction can be the left-right direction.
[0059] In some embodiments, the flow guide cavity 20 is provided with opposite first and second plates 44 and 46, the first and second plates 44 and 46 are connected with the cover member 26, and at least one of the first and second plates 44 and 46 is provided with a weak part 30.
[0060] In this way, the weak part 30 can be formed on the first and / or second plates 44 and 46.
[0061] Specifically, in Figure 11 , the first and second plates 44 and 46 are arranged in parallel, the first plate 44 is a left plate, the second plate 46 is a right plate, and the first and second plates 44 and 46 are both provided with a weak part 30. The high-pressure gas sprayed by the explosion-proof valve 24 first enters the explosion-proof cavity 28 from bottom to top, and then collides with the top wall of the explosion-proof cavity 28. The high-pressure gas is divided into left and right two paths by the top wall of the explosion-proof cavity 28. The left path gas breaks through the weak part 30 on the left plate, and the right path gas breaks through the weak part 30 on the right plate, so that the high-pressure gas can quickly enter the flow guide cavity 20 and then be discharged to the outside of the box body 12.
[0062] In some embodiments, the spacer 48 is arranged in the flow guide cavity 20, the first flow guide passage 50 is formed between the first plate 44 and the sidewall of the flow guide cavity 20, and the second flow guide passage 52 is formed between the spacer 48 and the second plate 46.
[0063] In this way, the discharge of the high-pressure gas can be accelerated.
[0064] Specifically, in one embodiment, the first plate 44 and the second plate 46 are each provided with a weak portion 30, and the first flow guide passage 50 and the second flow guide passage 52 extend along the length direction of the battery device 100, so that the gas discharged from the weak portion 30 can be guided to the front end and / or the rear end of the battery device 100. The high-pressure gas discharged from one explosion-proof valve 24 can be guided away by the first flow guide passage 50 and the second flow guide passage 52, and thus the discharge of the high-pressure gas can be accelerated.
[0065] In some embodiments, the sidewall of at least one of the first plate 44 and the second plate 46 is provided with a groove 54, and the bottom wall of the groove 54 constitutes the weak portion 30.
[0066] In this way, the weak portion 30 can be easily formed.
[0067] Specifically, in one embodiment, the sidewall of the first plate 44 and the sidewall of the second plate 46 are each provided with a groove 54. Figure 11 In this way, the weak portion 30 can be easily formed.
[0068] The shape of the groove 54 can be determined according to requirements, and is not specifically limited herein.
[0069] It can be understood that, in other embodiments, the sidewall of the first plate 44 or the sidewall of the second plate 46 is provided with a groove 54.
[0070] In some embodiments, the upper cover 34 includes a cover body 56 and a side wall plate, the side wall plate is connected to the edge of the cover body 56, the side wall of the spacer 16 is connected to the side wall plate, the side wall plate includes a first side wall plate 58 and a second side wall plate 60 along the length direction of the battery device 100, at least one of the first side wall plate 58 and the second side wall plate 60 is provided with a through hole 62, and the through hole 62 communicates with the flow guide cavity 20.
[0071] In this way, the gas discharged from the explosion-proof valve 24 can be discharged through the through hole 62 of the side wall plate.
[0072] Specifically, the side wall plate, the cover body 56 and the spacer 16 enclose the flow guide cavity 20, and at least one of the first side wall plate 58 and the second side wall plate 60 is provided with a through hole 62. Figure 3In the battery device 100, multiple battery cells 14 are arranged along the length of the battery device 100 to form a battery module 64, and two battery modules 64 are arranged along the width of the battery device 100. Each battery module 64 has a first flow channel 50 and a second flow channel 52 on both sides of the cover 26.
[0073] exist Figure 8 In this configuration, the first side panel 58 is the front side panel, and the second side panel 60 is the rear side panel. Both the first side panel 58 and the second side panel 60 are provided with through holes 62. The first side panel 58 has four through holes 62, which respectively connect to the front ends of the two first flow channels 50 and the two second flow channels 52. The second side panel 60 has four through holes 62, which respectively connect to the rear ends of the two first flow channels 50 and the two second flow channels 52.
[0074] The high-pressure gas ejected from the explosion-proof valve 24 can break through the weak parts 30 on the first plate 44 and the second plate 46, and enter the first guide channel 50 and the second guide channel 52 respectively, and be discharged to the outside of the box 12 through the through hole 62 on the side panel.
[0075] In some embodiments, multiple battery cells 14 are arranged along the length of the battery device 100 to form a battery module 64, multiple battery modules 64 are arranged along the width of the battery device 100, and multiple cover members 26 are connected along the length of the battery device 100 to form a flow guiding structure 66, and multiple flow guiding structures 66 correspond one-to-one with multiple battery modules 64.
[0076] In this way, the structural strength of the box 12 can be guaranteed.
[0077] Specifically, the length direction of the battery device 100 can be Figure 3 In the front-to-back direction, the width direction of the battery device 100 can be...

The two battery modules 64 can be electrically connected in series, in parallel or in series-parallel. The multiple battery cells 14 of a battery module 64 can be electrically connected in series, in parallel or in series-parallel. No specific limitation is made here.
[0078] Multiple cover members 26 connected along the length of the battery device 100 form a flow guiding structure 66, which can act as a reinforcing rib to prevent deformation of the housing 12 and ensure the structural strength of the housing 12.
[0079] Multiple flow guiding structures 66 correspond one-to-one with multiple battery modules 64. Please refer to... Figure 3 and Figure 7In some embodiments, the two flow guide structures 66 are connected to two side plates of the battery device 100 along the length direction.
