The first box wall and the second box wall are spaced apart along the first direction, and the first direction is parallel to the direction of gravity. The second box wall is located below the first box wall. The battery cell assembly is received in the box body, located between the first box wall and the second box wall, and connected to the first box wall. Wherein, in the first direction, the second box wall is closer to the first wall than the first box wall, and a cooling flow channel is provided on a side of the second box wall facing away from the first wall.

The battery cell assembly is disposed on the first box wall, and the first wall provided with the electrode terminals and the pressure relief mechanism is closer to the second box wall, that is, the battery cell assembly is inverted in the box body. Usually, the battery device is disposed at the bottom of the electrical device. When the pressure relief mechanism of the battery cell assembly of the present application relieves pressure, the pressure relief mechanism relieves pressure downward, which can reduce the impact on the electrical device. At the same time, a cooling flow channel is provided on the second box wall, which is conducive to the condensation of steam in the emissions discharged by the battery cell assembly and the attachment to the second box wall, and can reduce the risk of the steam condensing and attaching to the first wall and contacting the electrode terminals to cause a short circuit, thereby reducing the risk of insulation failure of the battery device and improving the reliability of the battery device.

[0016] In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, in the first direction, the groove corresponds to the pressure relief mechanism.

[0017] In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, in the first direction, the groove corresponds to the pressure relief mechanism, so that the condensed liquid formed after the emissions discharged by the battery cell assembly are condensed can be better collected in the groove under the action of gravity, improving the ability of the groove to collect the flow, further reducing the risk that the liquid contacts the first wall and causes the insulation failure of the battery device, and improving the reliability of the battery device.

[0027] In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, the busbar component realizes the electrical connection between the connector and the electrode terminal, and realizes the electrical connection between the battery device and the electrical device through the connector, realizing the charging and discharging of the battery device. At the same time, a cooling flow channel is provided on the second box wall to condense the steam in the box body on the second box wall when the battery cell assembly is depressurized, reducing the risk of the condensed steam adhering to the first wall and forming a short circuit with the electrode terminal, the busbar component, and the connector, reducing the risk of insulation failure of the battery device, and improving the reliability of the battery device.

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0050] The term "and / or" in this application is merely a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or the second direction can represent: A exists alone, A and the second direction exist simultaneously, and the second direction exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this application generally represents an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after.

[0051] The term "plurality" as used in this application refers to two or more (including two). Similarly, "multiple groups" refers to two or more groups (including two groups), and "multiple pieces" refers to two or more pieces (including two pieces).

[0052] The battery device (Battery Apparatus) mentioned in the embodiments of this application may include one or more battery cell assemblies for providing voltage and capacity. The battery cell assembly (Battery Cell Assembly) may include a plurality of battery cells, and the plurality of battery cells are connected in series, parallel, or in a hybrid connection through a busbar component.

[0053] In some embodiments, a battery cell assembly is typically formed by arranging multiple battery cells; as an example, the battery cell assembly can be a battery module, and the battery module is formed by arranging and fixing multiple battery cells into an independent module. As an example, the battery module can be formed by bundling multiple battery cells with cable ties.

[0054] In some embodiments, the battery device can be a battery pack, and the battery pack includes a box body and one or more battery cell assemblies, and the battery cell assemblies are accommodated in the box body.

[0055] As an example, the battery cell assembly can be a battery module, and the battery cell assembly can be accommodated in the box body by fixing the battery module in the box body.

[0056] As an example, the battery cell assembly can also be accommodated in the box body by directly fixing multiple battery cells to the box body.

[0057] As an example, the box body can include a first box body and a second box body. The first box body and the second box body are snapped together so that a closed space is formed inside the box body to accommodate the battery cell assembly. The "closed" here means covering or closing, which can be sealed or non-sealed. The first box body can be a top cover or a bottom plate.

[0058] As an example, the box body can include a top cover, a frame, and a bottom plate. The top cover and the bottom plate are respectively connected to the frame so that a closed space is formed inside the box body to accommodate the battery cell assembly.

[0059] As an example, the box body can be a part of the chassis structure of a vehicle. For example, the top cover of the box body can become at least a part of the floor of the vehicle, or the frame of the box body can become at least a part of the cross beam and longitudinal beam of the vehicle.

[0060] In some embodiments, the energy storage device can include multiple battery devices. The energy storage device includes an energy storage box body, and at least one side of the energy storage box body is provided with a door. The energy storage device includes an energy storage container, an energy storage electrical cabinet, etc.

[0061] In the embodiments of the present application, the battery cell can be a secondary battery, and the secondary battery refers to a battery cell that can activate the active material by charging after discharging the battery cell and can continue to be used.

[0062] The battery cell can be, but is not limited to, a lithium-ion battery, a sodium-ion battery, a sodium-lithium-ion battery, a lithium metal battery, a sodium metal battery, a lithium-sulfur battery, a magnesium-ion battery, a nickel-metal hydride battery, a nickel-cadmium battery, a lead-acid battery, etc.

[0063] The development of battery technology needs to consider various design factors simultaneously. For example, performance parameters such as energy density, cycle life, discharge capacity, charge and discharge rate, etc. In addition, with the change of environmental conditions and / or internal conditions of the battery, the reliability issue of the battery device is also one of the key considerations.

[0064] Currently, the battery cell assembly is disposed in a box body and carried on the first box wall to form a battery device. The battery device is usually disposed at the bottom of the electrical device. For example, the battery device is disposed at the bottom of a vehicle. When the battery device relieves pressure, it will eject high-temperature emissions (such as electrolyte, dissolved or split positive and negative electrode plates, fragments of the separator, high-temperature and high-pressure gas generated by the reaction, flame, etc.). In order to reduce the damage of the emissions from the battery device to the electrical device when relieving pressure, the pressure relief mechanism of the battery cell assembly is usually disposed downward.

[0065] However, the pressure relief mechanism and the electrode terminal are usually disposed on the same wall of the outer shell. When the pressure relief mechanism relieves pressure, there is a risk that the discharged emissions will adhere to the first box wall in the form of liquid after cooling, resulting in the liquid adhering to the electrode terminal, causing the electrode terminal to form a short circuit, resulting in the insulation failure of the battery device and affecting the reliability of the battery device.

[0066] Based on the above considerations, in order to solve the problem that the liquid adheres to the electrode terminal, resulting in the insulation failure of the battery device and affecting the reliability of the battery device, the embodiment of the present application provides a battery device. The battery device includes a battery cell assembly and a box body. The battery cell assembly includes a battery cell, and the battery cell includes an outer shell, a pressure relief mechanism, and an electrode terminal. The outer shell has a first wall, and the pressure relief mechanism and the electrode terminal are disposed on the first wall. The box body includes a first sub-box body and a second sub-box body disposed along a first direction. The first sub-box body includes a first box wall, and the second sub-box body includes a second box wall. The first box wall and the second box wall are spaced apart along the first direction, and the first direction is parallel to the gravity direction. The second box wall is located below the first box wall. The battery cell assembly is accommodated in the box body, and the battery cell assembly is located between the first box wall and the second box wall and connected to the first box wall. Wherein, in the first direction, the second box wall is closer to the first wall than the first box wall, and a cooling flow channel is disposed on the side of the second box wall facing away from the first wall.

[0067] The provision of the cooling flow channel on the second box wall is conducive to the condensation of the steam in the emissions discharged by the battery cell assembly and the adhesion to the second box wall, which can reduce the risk of the steam condensing and adhering to the first wall and contacting the electrode terminal to cause a short circuit, thereby reducing the risk of insulation failure of the battery device and improving the reliability of the battery device.

[0068] The technical solutions described in the embodiments of the present application are applicable to various electrical devices using battery cells and battery devices, such as battery-powered vehicles, electric toys, electric tools, vehicles, ships, and spacecrafts. For example, spacecrafts include airplanes, rockets, space shuttles, and spaceships, etc.

[0069] For the convenience of description, the following embodiments take a vehicle, which is an electrical device in an embodiment of the present application, as an example for illustration.

[0075] In the battery device 1, there may be multiple battery cell assemblies 10, and the multiple battery cell assemblies 10 can be connected in series, parallel or in a mixed connection. A mixed connection means that there are both series and parallel connections among the multiple battery cell assemblies 10. The multiple battery cell assemblies 10 can be directly connected in series, parallel or in a mixed connection together, and then the whole formed by the multiple battery cell assemblies 10 is accommodated in the box body 20; of course, the battery device 1 can also be that multiple battery cell assemblies 10 are first connected in series, parallel or in a mixed connection to form a battery module form, and then multiple battery modules are connected in series, parallel or in a mixed connection to form a whole and are accommodated in the box body 20.

[0078] The housing 1141 is a component for cooperating with the end cap 1142 to form the internal environment of the battery cell 11. Among them, the formed internal environment can be used to accommodate the electrode assembly 115, the electrolyte, and other components.
