For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; it can be a mechanical connection, or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or internal communication between two devices, elements or components.

Unless otherwise stated, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more.

[0043] In the related art, the capacity size of the battery cell is related to the size of various protective structures, connection structures and limiting structures on the corresponding end cover assembly. The current battery cell capacity is commonly 280Ah. The battery cell of this specification needs a large number of connecting pieces for system assembly in the subsequent grouping process, which is high in cost and complex in assembly. The technical solution of the present application is to solve such technical problems, which will be described below in combination with Figures 1-5 .

[0044] The present application discloses a battery, which can include a shell 100, a battery cell 200 and an end cover assembly 300. The shell 100 is the mounting base of the present application and provides shielding protection for other parts, while the battery cell 200 is the energy storage core component of the battery to realize the transmission of electric energy. Specifically, the shell 100 can be provided with a receiving cavity and an opening communicating with the receiving cavity, and the battery cell 200 is arranged in the receiving cavity.

[0045] The end cover assembly 300 can include an end cover body 310 and an explosion-proof valve 320. The end cover body 310 covers the opening to prevent external contaminants from polluting the inside of the battery. The end cover body 310 is provided with a pressure relief hole communicating with the containing cavity, and the explosion-proof valve 320 is sealed in the pressure relief hole. Specifically, when the battery is working normally, the internal pressure of the battery is normal, and the explosion-proof valve 320 also normally seals the pressure relief hole. When the battery expands and the pressure rises, the excessive pressure will break the explosion-proof valve 320, and the expanded gas and liquid can be discharged through the pressure relief hole to achieve pressure relief and ensure the safety performance of the battery.

[0046] The battery cell 200 can satisfy the relationship: 1.0mm 2 / Ah≤S1 / C1≤2.5mm 2 / Ah; for example, S1 / C1=1.0mm 2 / Ah, 1.5mm 2 / Ah, 2mm 2 / Ah, 2.5mm 2 / Ah, etc. And 800Ah≤C1≤3000Ah, such as C1=800Ah, 1000Ah, 1500Ah, 2000Ah, 2500Ah, 3000Ah, etc. Among them, S1 is the cross-sectional area of the explosion-proof valve 320 facing the pressure relief direction Z, that is, the pressure relief area of the explosion-proof valve 320; C1 is the capacity of the battery cell 200.

[0047] In this application, by increasing the capacity of the battery cell 200 to C1≥800Ah, the number of battery cells 200 in the same volume of battery is reduced, and accordingly, the number of connecting parts such as protective structures, connecting structures, and limiting structures that are adapted to the battery cell 200 will be reduced. In this way, the amount of materials, the complexity of the battery structure, and the cost of materials of the battery can be reduced. At the same time, the capacity of the battery cell 200 cannot be increased indefinitely, so the upper limit of the capacity of the battery cell 200 is controlled, that is, C1≤3000Ah, to improve the operability of the device of the present application.

[0048] At the same time, when the capacity C1 of the battery cell 200 is increased, it is also necessary to ensure that the pressure relief area of the explosion-proof valve 320 is adapted to the capacity of the battery cell 200. Specifically, by controlling S1 / C1≥1.0mm 2 / Ah, the pressure relief area S1 of the explosion-proof valve 320 relative to the capacity C1 of the battery cell 200 is not too small, so that the gas and liquid can be fully discharged when the battery cell 200 expands, thereby ensuring the pressure relief flowability; and by controlling S1 / C1≤2.5mm 2 / Ah, the pressure relief area S1 of the explosion-proof valve 320 relative to the capacity C1 of the battery cell 200 is not too large, thereby avoiding affecting the overall strength of the end cover assembly 300 to ensure the structural stability of the battery.

[0049] In summary, the device of the application can reduce the material quantity, battery structure complexity and material cost of the battery, while taking into account the pressure relief flowability and structural stability of the battery.

[0050] Optionally, the electric core 200 can satisfy: 180mm≤H1≤360mm; such as H1=180mm, 240mm, 300mm, 360mm, etc. Wherein, H1 is the height of the electric core 200; the height direction of the electric core 200 is towards the pressure relief direction Z. In this way, the specification of the electric core 200 is more suitable for square batteries, and meets the installation needs of square batteries.

[0051] Optionally, the explosion-proof valve 320 can satisfy: S1≥1200mm 2 , such as S1=1200mm 2 , 1500mm 2 , 1800mm 2 , etc., so that when the electric core 200 expands, the explosion-proof valve 320 can provide sufficient pressure relief area S1 to ensure smooth discharge of the expanded gas-liquid.

[0052] Optionally, the shell 100 can satisfy: 1 / 20≤M2 / W2≤1 / 3; such as M2 / W2=1 / 20, 1 / 10, 1 / 5, 1 / 3, etc. M2≥50mm; W2≥320mm; H2≥180mm. Wherein, M2 is the thickness of the shell 100; W2 is the length of the shell 100; H2 is the height of the shell 100; the thickness direction of the shell 100 is towards the second direction Y, the height direction of the shell 100 is towards the pressure relief direction Z, and the length direction of the shell 100 is towards the first direction X, and the first direction X, the second direction Y and the pressure relief direction Z intersect with each other.

[0053] In this way, by controlling the length W2, height H2 and thickness M2 of the shell 100, the shape and specification of the shell 100 are controlled, thereby forming corresponding constraints on the number, specification, etc. of the electric core 200 installed in the shell 100, and then controlling the total capacity (i.e. the sum of the capacities C1 of each electric core 200) and energy density of the electric core 200, while meeting the capacity demand of the battery, preventing unlimited enlargement beyond the capacity limit of the battery, so that the battery takes into account safety and stable conduction.

[0054] Optionally, the shell 100 can satisfy: 0.06≤M2 / W2≤0.3; such as M2 / W2=0.06, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, etc. 400mm≤W2≤1000mm; such as W2=400mm, 600mm, 800mm, 1000mm, etc. 60mm≤M2≤120mm, such as M2=60mm, 80mm, 100mm, 120mm, etc. In this way, the shape and size of the shell 100 can be further controlled, so that the total capacity and energy density of the battery cell 200 are better constrained, and the battery can further balance safety and stable conduction.

[0055] Optionally, the end cover assembly 300 can further include a pole 330 electrically connected to the battery cell 200, thereby forming a conduction loop to enable the battery to conduct electricity. The pole 330 is provided on the end cover body 310, and the pole 330 is two in number, and the explosion-proof valve 320 is located between the two poles 330.

[0056] The pole 330 can satisfy: 0.75≤L4 / W3≤0.90, such as L4 / W3=0.75, 0.8, 0.9, etc. Alternatively, 40mm≤W3-L4≤100mm; such as W3-L4=40mm, 60mm, 80mm, 100mm, etc. W3=W2; L4≥300mm. Wherein, L4 is the center distance between the two poles 330; W3 is the length of the end cover body 310; the length direction of the end cover body 310 is towards the first direction X.

[0057] In the arrangement of the pole 330, the center distance L4 between the two poles 330 needs to be wide enough, which on the one hand can ensure the stability of the conduction loop formed between the pole 330 and the external electrical connection device, and on the other hand can leave enough space for the processing and installation of the explosion-proof valve 320 and the liquid injection hole on the end cover body 310, thereby improving the molding yield. At the same time, the center distance L4 between the two poles 330 cannot be too large, avoiding being too close to the edge of the end cover body 310, affecting the strength of the edge position of the end cover body 310, and occupying the position of other components, such as the adapter 360 and the pin 361 in the following.

[0058] Therefore, the relative position relationship between the center distance L4 of the pole 330 and the length W3 of the end cover body 310 is controlled according to the above 0.75≤L4 / W3≤0.90, or 40mm≤W3-L4≤100mm, so that the arrangement of the pole 330 can avoid installation interference with other components while ensuring sufficient strength of the end cover body 310, thereby ensuring the stability of the end cover assembly 300 without deformation.

[0059] And the length W3 of the end cover body 310 is equal to the length W2 of the shell 100, so that the end cover assembly 300 can effectively cover the shell 100 and avoid waste of excess material.

[0060] Optionally, the pole column 330 can satisfy: D4 min ≥18mm; wherein, D4 min is the minimum diameter of the pole column 330. In this way, the flow area of the pole column 330 can be ensured, and the conductivity of the battery can be ensured.

[0061] Optionally, the end cover assembly 300 can further include a pressing block 340; the pressing block 340 is two, and the pressing block 340 is arranged on the end cover body 310 and is sleeved on the pole column 330; the pressing block 340 can satisfy: 0.75≤L5 / W3≤0.90; such as L5 / W3=0.75, 0.8, 0.9, etc. D5≥36mm; wherein, L5 is the center distance between the two pressing blocks 340; D5 is the side length or diameter of the pressing block 340.

[0062] In this way, by controlling the relative position relationship between the center distance L5 of the pressing block 340 and the length W3 of the end cover body 310, the design of the pressing block 340 not only can reinforce the end cover assembly 300 to ensure the structural stability of the end cover assembly 300, but also can be adapted to the size of the center distance L4 of the pole column 330, so as to fully protect the pole column 330.

[0063] And by controlling the side length or diameter D5 of the pressing block 340, the pressing block 340 has enough welding area with the busbar connected to the external module, which can meet the flow requirement of the battery, so as to ensure the conductivity.

[0064] Optionally, the end cover assembly 300 can further include an adapter 360, the adapter 360 is arranged on the end cover body 310, the adapter 360 is connected to the pole column 330, and the adapter 360 is provided with a pin 361 for connecting the battery cell 200. The pin 361 can satisfy: M7≥50mm; H7≥80mm.

[0065] And usually, the two pole columns 330 are the positive pole column and the negative pole column of the battery, and similarly, the battery cell 200 also has corresponding positive and negative poles, and the adapter 360 also has two corresponding adapters, one of which is connected to the positive pole column and the positive pole of the battery cell 200, and the other is connected to the negative pole column and the negative pole of the battery cell 200.

[0066] Among them, the adapter 360 for connecting the positive pole of the battery cell 200 is made of aluminum, and the adapter 360 for connecting the negative pole of the battery cell 200 is made of copper, and considering that the flow capacity of copper and aluminum is different, the pin 361 can further satisfy:

[0067] In the case that the pin 361 is connected to the positive pole of the battery cell 200, N7≥2.5mm; in the case that the pin 361 is connected to the negative pole of the battery cell 200, N7'≥1.5mm.

[0068] wherein, M7 is the width of the pin 361; H7 is the length of the pin 361; N7 and N7' are the thickness of the pin 361; the width direction of the pin 361 is towards the second direction Y, the length direction of the pin 361 is towards the pressure relief direction Z, the thickness direction of the pin 361 is towards the first direction X, and the first direction X, the second direction Y and the pressure relief direction Z are perpendicular to each other.

[0069] In this way, the overcurrent capacity of the pin 361 can be fully guaranteed, and the adapter 360 can play a good conductive role between the positive pole and the positive pole of the battery cell 200, and between the negative pole and the negative pole of the battery cell 200.

[0070] Optionally, the end cover body 310 can satisfy: 2mm≤H3≤4mm; for example, H3=2mm, 3mm, 4mm, etc. Wherein, H3 is the thickness of the end cover body 310; the thickness direction of the end cover body 310 is towards the pressure relief direction Z.

[0071] If the thickness of the end cover body 310 is too thin, it is not conducive to guarantee the structural stability of the end cover assembly 300, and if the thickness is too thick, material waste will occur, so according to the above size control, the end cover body 310 can balance the strength performance and save material cost.

[0072] Optionally, the shell 100 can satisfy: T2≥0.6mm; T2 is the wall thickness of the shell 100. In this way, the shell 100 has sufficient strength and effectively prevents deformation due to impact.

[0073] Optionally, the shell 100 can satisfy:

[0074] 0.6mm≤T21≤1mm; for example, T21=0.5mm, 0.8mm, 1mm, etc.

[0075] 0.6mm≤T22≤1.2mm; for example, T22=0.6mm, 0.8mm, 1mm, 1.2mm, etc.

[0076] 1.2mm≤T23≤2.5mm; for example, T23=1.2mm, 1.5mm, 1.8mm, 2.5mm, etc.

[0077] T22>T21.

[0078] T21 is the wall thickness of the large face of the shell 100; T22 is the wall thickness of the side face of the shell 100; and T23 is the wall thickness of the bottom face of the shell 100. The bottom face of the shell 100 is arranged along the pressure relief direction Z in sequence with the battery cell 200, and the large face of the shell 100 and the side face of the shell 100 enclose the peripheral wall of the shell 100, which is connected to the bottom face of the shell 100 to form the accommodating cavity. In this way, the structural strength of the shell 100 can be further improved to prevent damage and deformation caused by bumps.
