For electric vehicles, battery technology is an important factor for their development.

[0003] The battery monomer in the related art has the phenomenon of lithium precipitation of the pole piece, which affects the reliability of the battery monomer. SUMMARY

[0004] In view of the above problems, the present application provides a battery monomer, a battery device and an electric equipment, which can improve the reliability of the battery monomer.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present application provides a battery monomer, comprising: a shell, an insulating piece, an electrode assembly and a first flow guide piece, the shell comprising a first wall, the first wall being provided with a through hole. The insulating piece is arranged in the shell, the insulating piece having a receiving cavity and an opening communicating with the receiving cavity, the opening being arranged towards the first wall. The electrode assembly is arranged in the receiving cavity, the first flow guide piece being located between the first wall and the electrode assembly, the first flow guide piece covering the through hole in the orthographic projection on the first wall, the first flow guide piece being arranged across the opening and connected to the insulating piece.

[0006] The battery monomer provided by an embodiment of the present application can inject electrolyte into the interior of the battery monomer through the through hole provided on the first wall. The first flow guide piece is arranged and located between the first wall and the electrode assembly, the first flow guide piece covering the through hole in the orthographic projection on the first wall, the first flow guide piece being arranged across the opening and connected to the insulating piece, so that the electrolyte and other fluids entering through the through hole can be guided to the outside of the insulating piece away from the receiving cavity by the first flow guide piece, and under the action of gravity, flow along the outer wall surface of the insulating piece to the end of the shell opposite to the first wall. The electrolyte can climb under the capillary action, gradually soak from bottom to top as the electrolyte accumulates, avoiding the liquid sealing phenomenon when the electrolyte soaks from the periphery to the middle area, so that the pole pieces of the electrode assembly are uniformly soaked, the black spots of the battery pole pieces are improved, and the lithium precipitation phenomenon in the use process of the battery monomer is avoided, thereby improving the reliability of the battery monomer.

[0007] In some embodiments, the insulating piece comprises a bottom wall and a side wall, the side wall being arranged around the bottom wall and enclosing the receiving cavity, the bottom wall being arranged opposite to the opening, the first flow guide piece being connected to the side wall, and at least one of the bottom wall and the side wall being provided with a channel.

[0008] The insulation piece adopts the above structure, which can isolate the electrode assembly from the shell, prevent the electrode assembly from short circuiting with the shell, and ensure the reliability of the battery monomer. The first flow guide piece is connected to the side wall, which can ensure the relative position of the first flow guide piece and the through hole, facilitate the reception and flow guiding of the electrolyte entering the through hole, and reduce the size of the first flow guide piece, the cost and the occupied area of the first flow guide piece in the shell, and ensure the energy density requirement of the battery monomer. The channel is arranged to facilitate the electrolyte flowing along the outer wall of the insulation piece to the end of the shell opposite to the first wall, entering the insulation piece through the channel, and gradually infiltrating from bottom to top.

[0009] In some embodiments, the side wall includes a first wall surface and a second wall surface opposite to each other, the area of the first wall surface is larger than that of the second wall surface, and the first flow guide piece is connected to the first wall surface.

[0010] The first flow guide piece is connected to the first wall surface, which facilitates the close connection between the first flow guide piece and the insulation piece, avoids interference between the first flow guide piece and other components of the battery monomer such as the insulation plate, and guides the electrolyte entering the through hole to the first wall surface side of the insulation piece, facilitating the infiltration of the electrolyte.

[0011] In some embodiments, the first flow guide piece is in an integral structure, one end of the first flow guide piece is connected to one of the first wall surfaces opposite to each other, and the other end of the first flow guide piece is connected to the other of the first wall surfaces opposite to each other.

[0012] The first flow guide piece is in an integral structure, which ensures the guiding and bearing capacity of the electrolyte and reduces the probability of the electrolyte entering the opening and flowing into the electrode assembly from top to bottom.

[0013] In some embodiments, the first flow guide piece includes a first sub-flow guide part and a second sub-flow guide part, the first sub-flow guide part and the second sub-flow guide part are opposite to each other and connected at one end thereof, and the other end of the first sub-flow guide part and the second sub-flow guide part is connected to the insulation piece, respectively.

[0014] The above arrangement can also meet the requirement that the electrolyte and other fluids entering the through hole can be guided to the outside of the insulation piece away from the accommodation cavity by the first flow guide piece, and under the action of gravity, flow along the outer wall of the insulation piece to the end of the shell opposite to the first wall, and gradually infiltrate from bottom to top as the electrolyte accumulates, avoiding the liquid sealing phenomenon when the electrolyte infiltrates from the periphery to the middle area. Moreover, the above arrangement facilitates the connection and synchronous forming of the first flow guide piece and the insulation piece, and reduces the forming difficulty.

[0015] In some embodiments, the first sub-guide part has a first guide groove, the second sub-guide part has a second guide groove, one end of the second sub-guide part is accommodated in the first guide groove, and the first guide groove and the second guide groove are in communication.

[0016] The split lap form facilitates the molding of the first guide member and the insulating member, and can ensure the guiding requirement of the electrolyte.

[0017] In some embodiments, the battery monomer further comprises a second guide member arranged on the outer side of the insulating member away from the accommodation cavity, and the second guide member is arranged in communication with the first guide member.

[0018] By arranging the second guide member, the electrolyte guided by the first guide member to the outer side of the insulating member away from the accommodation cavity can be oriented again, so that it can quickly flow into the bottom of the shell in a laminar flow, and the electrolyte can climb under the action of capillary force, the impregnation of the electrode assembly can be realized by downward directional impregnation, avoiding the liquid seal phenomenon caused by the electrolyte impregnating from the periphery to the middle.

[0019] In some embodiments, the second guide member comprises a third guide groove arranged on the outer side of the insulating member.

[0020] By arranging the third guide groove in the second guide member, the molding of the second guide member is facilitated, and the third guide groove is formed by removing material, without occupying additional internal space of the shell, ensuring the size requirement of the electrode assembly, and further ensuring the energy density requirement of the battery monomer.

[0021] In some embodiments, the first guide member has a first port and a second port, and the first port and the second port are respectively connected with the second guide member.

[0022] The arrangement of the first port and the second port and the connection with the second guide member can guide the electrolyte from both sides to the bottom of the shell, which can ensure the injection efficiency of the electrolyte, and at the same time, can reduce the risk of accumulation and overflow of the electrolyte in the first guide member and the risk of upward impregnation of the electrolyte from the side where the through hole is located.

[0023] In some embodiments, the second guide member is arranged in pairs, and the second guide members arranged in pairs are spaced apart and symmetrically distributed on the insulating member.

[0024] Through the above arrangement, the electrolyte can be guided from both sides to the bottom of the shell, which can ensure the injection efficiency of the electrolyte, and at the same time, can reduce the risk of accumulation and overflow of the electrolyte in the first guide member and the risk of upward impregnation of the electrolyte from the side where the through hole is located.

[0025] In some embodiments, the second guide member is arranged in a straight line trajectory.

[0026] By extending the second flow guide along a straight line trajectory, the resistance in the process of guiding the electrolyte can be reduced, and the electrolyte can be quickly guided to the bottom of the shell and then climb up from bottom to top by capillary action.

[0027] In some embodiments, the second flow guide extends along a broken line trajectory.

[0028] Through the above arrangement, when the first port or the second port of the first flow guide is staggered with the flow outlet of the second flow guide, communication can be achieved by extending along a broken line trajectory, ensuring the directional flow requirement of the electrolyte.

[0029] In some embodiments, the second flow guide includes a main flow guide and a plurality of sub-flow guides, the main flow guide is in communication with the first flow guide, and each sub-flow guide is arranged separately from each other and in communication with the main flow guide.

[0030] The second flow guide adopts the cooperation of the main flow guide and the sub-flow guide, which is beneficial to guiding the electrolyte to different positions at the bottom of the shell and ensuring the uniformity of electrolyte infiltration.

[0031] In some embodiments, the plurality of sub-flow guides are distributed in the first direction, and one of the sub-flow guides is located at the center position of the insulating piece in the first direction.

[0032] Since the probability of liquid sealing phenomenon existing in the electrode assembly corresponding to the center position of the insulating piece is relatively high, by locating one of the sub-flow guides at the center position of the insulating piece in the first direction, the electrolyte can be climbed at the center position of the insulating piece corresponding to the electrode assembly, and the probability of liquid sealing is reduced. The sub-flow guides arranged on both sides of the center position can ensure the uniformity of the electrode assembly from bottom to top.

[0033] In some embodiments, the first flow guide and the insulating piece are in an integrated structure.

[0034] Through the above arrangement, the connection strength between the first flow guide and the insulating piece can be ensured.

[0035] In a second aspect, the application provides a battery device including the above-mentioned battery monomer.

[0036] In a third aspect, the application provides a power consumption device including the above-mentioned battery device.

[0070] At present, from the development of market situation, the application of power battery is more and more widely. Power battery is not only applied to energy storage power supply system of hydroelectric, thermal, wind and solar power station, but also widely applied to electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric vehicles and other electric vehicles, military equipment, aerospace and other fields.

[0071] With the continuous expansion of the application field of power batteries, the market demand is also increasing. The battery monomer in the related technology has the phenomenon of lithium precipitation on the pole piece, which affects the reliability of the battery monomer. Research has found that the battery monomer in the related technology stores electrolyte in the recess cavity on the insulating piece when injecting electrolyte, so that the electrode assembly is infiltrated from multiple directions, improving the injection efficiency and improving the infiltration effect. However, this setting method makes the electrolyte infiltrate from the periphery to the middle when injecting, which will cause the liquid sealing phenomenon, and then the middle lithium precipitation phenomenon occurs in the pole piece during the cycle process, which affects the reliability of the battery monomer.

[0072] In order to solve the above technical problems, the infiltration direction of the electrolyte can be changed, so that the electrolyte is infiltrated from bottom to top, avoiding the liquid sealing phenomenon when the electrolyte is infiltrated from the periphery to the middle area, so as to ensure that the pole piece is uniformly infiltrated, improve the battery pole piece black spot, and improve the reliability of the battery monomer. Therefore, an embodiment of the present application provides a battery monomer, which comprises a shell, an insulating piece, an electrode assembly and a first flow guide piece. The shell comprises a first wall, and the first wall is provided with a through hole. The insulating piece is arranged in the shell, and the insulating piece has a containing cavity and an opening communicating with the containing cavity. The opening is arranged towards the first wall, and the electrode assembly is arranged in the containing cavity. The first flow guide piece is located between the first wall and the electrode assembly, the orthographic projection of the first flow guide piece on the first wall covers the through hole, the first flow guide piece is arranged across the opening and connected to the insulating piece, so that the electrolyte and other fluids entering through the through hole can be guided to the outside of the insulating piece away from the containing cavity through the first flow guide piece. Under the action of gravity, the electrolyte flows along the outer wall surface of the insulating piece to the end of the shell opposite to the first wall. The electrolyte can climb under the action of capillary force, gradually infiltrate from bottom to top, avoid the liquid sealing phenomenon when the electrolyte is infiltrated from the periphery to the middle area, so that the pole piece is uniformly infiltrated, the battery pole piece black spot is improved, and then the lithium precipitation phenomenon in the battery monomer during use is avoided, and the reliability of the battery monomer is improved.

[0110] As shown in Figures 3 to 5 some embodiments, the insulating piece 24 includes a bottom wall 241 and a side wall 242, the side wall 242 is arranged around the bottom wall 241 and encloses the accommodation cavity 243, the bottom wall 241 is arranged opposite to the opening 244, and the first flow guide 25 is connected to the side wall 242, at least one of the bottom wall 241 and the side wall 242 is provided with a channel 255.

[0111] The bottom wall 241 and the side wall 242 can be arranged to intersect each other, and optionally, the bottom wall 241 and the side wall 242 can be arranged to be perpendicular to each other.

[0112] The shape of the accommodation cavity 243 can match at least part of the shape of the electrode assembly 22. The electrode assembly 22 can be at least partially located in the accommodation cavity 243. Optionally, the bottom surface of the electrode assembly 22 can be arranged to abut the bottom wall 241, and the side surface of the electrode assembly 22 can be arranged to abut the side wall 242.

[0113] The insulating piece 24 and the electrode assembly 22 can be connected and fixed by adhesion, or can be connected and fixed by heat pressing or the like.

[0114] The first flow guide 25 can be connected to the side wall 242 and arranged to bend relative to the side wall 242.

[0115] The channel 255 can include a hole, a groove or the like structure, for connecting the gap between the insulating piece 24 and the housing 21 to the accommodation cavity 243, so that the electrolyte flowing along the outer wall surface of the insulating piece 24 to the end of the housing opposite to the first wall 201 enters the accommodation cavity 243 in the insulating piece 24 through the channel 255 and soaks the electrode assembly 22 from bottom to top.

[0116] Optionally, the first flow guide 25 and the bottom wall 241 can be oppositely arranged along the axial direction of the through hole 202.

[0117] Optionally, the side of the first flow guide 25 facing the through hole 202 can have a U-shaped groove.

[0118] In an embodiment, the insulating member 24 has the above structure, which can isolate the electrode assembly 22 from the shell 21, prevent the electrode assembly 22 from being short-circuited by contacting the shell 21, and ensure the reliability of the battery monomer 20. The first flow guide 25 is connected to the side wall 242, which can fix the relative position of the first flow guide 25 and the through hole 202, facilitate the reception and flow of the electrolyte entering the through hole 202, and reduce the size of the first flow guide 25, the cost, and the occupied area of the first flow guide 25 in the shell 20a, ensure the energy density requirement of the battery monomer 20, and facilitate the electrolyte flowing from the outer wall of the insulating member 24 to the end of the shell opposite to the first wall 201 to enter the accommodating cavity 243 of the insulating member 24 through the channel 255 and soak the electrode assembly 22 from bottom to top.

[0119] In some embodiments, the side wall 242 includes oppositely arranged first wall surfaces 2421 and oppositely arranged second wall surfaces 2422, the area of the first wall surface 2421 is larger than the area of the second wall surface 2422, and the first flow guide 25 is connected to the first wall surface 2421.

[0120] Optionally, the first wall surface 2421 and the second wall surface 2422 can be alternately arranged around the bottom wall 241.

[0121] The first wall surface 2421 and the second wall surface 2422 can both be square, the first wall surface 2421 is used to isolate the large surface of the electrode assembly 22 from the shell 21, and the second wall surface 2422 is used to isolate the side surface of the electrode assembly 22 from the shell 21.

[0122] By connecting the first flow guide 25 to the first wall surface 2421, the first flow guide 25 can be connected to the insulating member 24 in proximity, and interference between the first flow guide 25 and other components of the battery monomer 20, such as the insulating plate, can be avoided. In addition, the electrolyte entering the through hole 202 can be guided to the side of the first wall surface 2421 of the insulating member 24 by the first flow guide 25, which facilitates the soaking of the electrolyte.

[0123] In some embodiments, the first flow guide 25 has an integral structure, one end of the first flow guide 25 is connected to one of the oppositely arranged first wall surfaces 2421, and the other end of the first flow guide 25 is connected to the other of the oppositely arranged first wall surfaces 2421.

[0124] In the arrangement direction of the two opposing first wall surfaces 2421, the first guide member 25 has an integral structure and can be set without interruption in the middle.

[0125] Optionally, the length of the first guide member 25 may be greater than or equal to the distance between the two first walls 2421. One end of the first guide member 25 may be connected to one end of the two first walls 2421 facing the through hole 202, and the other end of the first guide member 25 may be connected to the other end of the two first walls 2421 facing the through hole 202.

[0126] Of course, this is an optional implementation. In some embodiments, the length of the first guide member 25 may be greater than or equal to the distance between the two second walls 2422. One end of the first guide member 25 may be connected to one end of the two second walls 2422 facing the through hole 202, and the other end of the first guide member 25 may be connected to the other end of the two second walls 2422 facing the through hole 202.

[0127] The first guide element 25 is an integral structure, which makes the first guide element 25 non-disconnected in the direction of electrolyte flow, ensuring the guiding and carrying capacity of the electrolyte, and reducing the probability that the electrode liquid enters through the opening 244 and flows from top to bottom into the electrode assembly 22.

[0128] It is understandable that the first guide element 25 being a one-piece structure is only one optional embodiment.

[0129] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the first guide member 25 may also include a first sub-guide member 251 and a second sub-guide member 252. The first sub-guide member 251 and the second sub-guide member 252 are disposed opposite to each other and their ends facing each other are connected. The ends of the first sub-guide member 251 and the second sub-guide member 252 that are away from each other are respectively connected to the insulating member 24, and optionally connected to the side wall 242 of the insulating member 24.

[0130] Both the first sub-guide section 251 and the second sub-guide section 252 can have a guide channel or a guide groove. The ends of the first sub-guide section 251 and the second sub-guide section 252 facing each other can be arranged facing each other and sealed together. Alternatively, the ends of the first sub-guide section 251 and the second sub-guide section 252 facing each other can be stacked and overlapped and fixed together.

[0131] The orthographic projections of the first sub-guide section 251 and the second sub-guide section 252 on the first wall 201 can both cover the through hole 202. Of course, it is also possible for the orthographic projection of either the first sub-guide section 251 or the second sub-guide section 252 on the first wall 201 to cover the through hole 202.

[0132] Optionally, the first sub-flow guide part 251 can be connected with one of the first wall surfaces 2421, and the second sub-flow guide part 252 can be connected with the other first wall surface 2421. In the arrangement direction of the two first wall surfaces 2421, or the thickness direction Y, the sum of the lengths of the first sub-flow guide part 251 and the second sub-flow guide part 252 extending towards each other is greater than or equal to the distance between the two first wall surfaces 2421.

[0133] Of course, in some embodiments, the first sub-flow guide part 251 can also be connected with one of the second wall surfaces 2422, and the second sub-flow guide part 252 can be connected with the other second wall surface 2422. In the arrangement direction of the two second wall surfaces 2422, or the width direction X, the sum of the lengths of the first sub-flow guide part 251 and the second sub-flow guide part 252 extending towards each other is greater than or equal to the distance between the two second wall surfaces 2422.

[0134] Optionally, the U-shaped groove of the first flow guide part 25 includes the first flow guide groove 2513 and the second flow guide groove 2523 connected with each other, that is, when the first flow guide part 25 adopts a split setting form, it can also have a U-shaped groove, which is convenient for receiving and guiding the electrolyte.

[0135] The battery monomer 20 provided by an embodiment of the application can also meet the requirement that the electrolyte and other fluids entering through the through hole 202 can be guided by the first flow guide part 25 to the outside of the insulating part 24 away from the accommodation cavity 243, and under the action of gravity, flow along the outer wall surface of the insulating part 24 to the end of the housing 20a opposite to the first wall 201, gradually soak from bottom to top as the electrolyte accumulates, avoiding the liquid sealing phenomenon when the electrolyte soaks from the periphery to the middle area. Moreover, the above setting mode is also conducive to the connection and synchronous forming of the first flow guide part 25 and the insulating part 24, and reduces the forming difficulty.

[0136] In some embodiments, the first sub-flow guide part 251 has the first flow guide groove 2513, the second sub-flow guide part 252 has the second flow guide groove 2523, one end of the second sub-flow guide part 252 is accommodated in the first flow guide groove 2513, and the first flow guide groove 2513 and the second flow guide groove 2523 are connected with each other.

[0137] The split lapping form is conducive to the forming of the first flow guide part 25 and the insulating part 24, and can ensure the guiding requirement of the electrolyte.

[0138] In some optional embodiments, the first sub-flow guide part 251 and the second sub-flow guide part 252 are arranged in a stacked manner and fixedly connected with each other at the ends thereof towards each other.

[0139] The width of the first flow guide groove 2513 can be greater than the width of the second flow guide groove 2523, and the second sub-flow guide part 252 is partially inserted into the first flow guide groove 2513 and overlaps the first flow guide part.

[0140] Exemplarily, the first sub-flow guide part 251 has a first groove bottom wall 2511 and oppositely arranged first groove side walls 2512, and the first flow guide groove 2513 is formed by the first groove bottom wall 2511 and the oppositely arranged first groove side walls 2512. The second sub-flow guide part 252 has a second groove bottom wall 2521 and oppositely arranged second groove side walls 2522, and the second flow guide groove 2523 is formed by the second groove bottom wall 2521 and the oppositely arranged second groove side walls 2522. The width of the first groove bottom wall 2511 can be greater than the width of the second groove bottom wall 2521, and the second groove bottom wall 2521 is arranged in layers on the first groove bottom wall 2511, and the second groove side wall 2522 is partially arranged between the oppositely arranged first groove side walls 2512. Optionally, the first groove side wall 2512 and the oppositely arranged second groove side wall 2522 can be arranged in layers or attached.

[0141] As shown in Figure 8 , Figure 9 In some embodiments, the battery monomer 20 further includes a second flow guide 26 arranged on the outer side of the insulation 24 away from the accommodation cavity 243, and the second flow guide 26 is arranged in communication with the first flow guide 25.

[0142] The second flow guide 26 can include a flow guide groove formed by removing part of the material on the outer side wall 242 of the insulation 24, or can include a flow guide structure connected and arranged on the outer side wall 242 of the insulation 24.

[0143] The second flow guide 26 can be arranged on the outer side of the side wall 242 of the insulation 24 away from the accommodation cavity 243. When arranged on the side wall 242 of the insulation 24, it can be arranged on at least one of the first wall surface 2421 and the second wall surface 2422 and in communication with the first flow guide 25.

[0144] By arranging the second flow guide 26, the electrolyte guided by the first flow guide 25 to the outer side of the insulation 24 away from the accommodation cavity 243 can be oriented and guided again, so that it can quickly flow into the bottom of the shell 20a. The electrolyte can climb under the action of capillary force, and the impregnation of the electrode assembly 22 can be realized by downward directional impregnation, avoiding the liquid seal phenomenon caused by the electrolyte impregnating from the periphery to the middle.

[0145] In some embodiments, the second flow guide 26 includes a third flow guide groove arranged on the outer side of the insulation 24.

[0146] The third flow guide groove can be formed on the outer side of the insulating member 24 away from the accommodating cavity 243 by etching or the like, and the third flow guide groove is in communication with the first flow guide member 25 to guide the electrolyte to flow to the bottom of the shell 20a.

[0147] The third flow guide groove has a groove depth less than the wall thickness of the insulating member 24.

[0148] The third flow guide groove can be arranged on the side wall 242 of the insulating member 24. For example, the third flow guide groove can be arranged on one of the first wall surface 2421 and the second wall surface 2422 of the insulating member 24.

[0149] By arranging the second flow guide member 26 to include the third flow guide groove, the second flow guide member 26 is facilitated to be formed, and the third flow guide groove is formed by removing material, without occupying additional internal space of the shell 20a, to ensure the size requirement of the electrode assembly 22, and further ensure the energy density requirement of the battery cell 20.

[0150] In some embodiments, the first flow guide member 25 has a first port 25a and a second port 25b, and the first port 25a and the second port 25b are respectively connected with the second flow guide member 26.

[0151] The first port 25a and the second port 25b of the first flow guide member 25 are used for the outflow of the electrolyte entering the first flow guide member 25, and the first port 25a and the second port 25b can be distributed in the thickness direction Y of the battery cell 20, or can be understood as being distributed in the arrangement direction of the two first wall surfaces 2421. Of course, the first port 25a and the second port 25b can also be distributed in the width direction X of the battery cell 20, or can be understood as being distributed in the arrangement direction of the two second wall surfaces 2422.

[0152] As shown in Figures 3 to 9 The distribution can be understood as being arranged oppositely, or can be offset. For example, the first port 25a and the second port 25b can be arranged oppositely in the thickness direction Y of the battery cell 20, and the first flow guide member 25 extends linearly in the thickness direction Y. Of course, the first port 25a and the second port 25b can also be arranged offsetly in the thickness direction Y of the battery cell 20, and the first flow guide member 25 is arranged along an inclined line.

[0153] The first port 25a and the second port 25b are respectively connected with the second flow guide member 26. It can be understood that the first port 25a and the second port 25b are respectively arranged with the second flow guide member 26, and the electrolyte can be guided to the bottom of the shell 20a by the second flow guide member 26 connected therewith.

[0154] The battery cell 20 provided in one embodiment of the present application, the first port 25a and the second port 25b are arranged and connected with the second flow guide 26 respectively, which can guide the electrolyte from both sides to the bottom of the shell 20a, which can ensure the injection efficiency of the electrolyte, and at the same time, can reduce the risk of accumulation and overflow of the electrolyte in the first flow guide 25 and the risk of infiltration of the electrode assembly 22 from top to bottom by the side where the through hole 202 is located.

[0155] As shown in Figure 8 , Figure 9 In some embodiments, the second flow guide 26 is arranged in pairs, and the second flow guides arranged in pairs are spaced apart from each other and symmetrically distributed on the insulating member 24.

[0156] The second flow guide 26 can include one pair or multiple pairs. When multiple pairs are included, each second flow guide 26 is directly or indirectly communicated with the first flow guide 25.

[0157] Optionally, one of the second flow guides arranged in pairs is communicated with the first port 25a and the other is communicated with the second port 25b.

[0158] Through the above arrangement, the electrolyte can be guided from both sides to the bottom of the shell 20a, which can ensure the injection efficiency of the electrolyte, and at the same time, can reduce the risk of accumulation and overflow of the electrolyte in the first flow guide 25 and the risk of infiltration of the electrolyte from top to bottom by the side where the through hole 202 is located.

[0159] As shown in Figures 8 to 10 In some optional embodiments, the second flow guide 26 is arranged along a straight line trajectory.

[0160] The straight line trajectory can be a straight line extending along the thickness direction Y or the width direction X, or a straight line trajectory with a certain inclination angle with respect to the thickness direction Y or the width direction X.

[0161] The straight line trajectory can be understood as the flow trajectory of the electrolyte after entering the second flow guide 26. It can also be determined as the above-mentioned straight line trajectory by taking the extension trajectory of the center line of the first port 25a and the second port 25b.

[0162] By making the second flow guide 26 extend along a straight line trajectory, the resistance when guiding the electrolyte can be reduced, and the electrolyte can be quickly guided to the bottom of the shell 20a and then climb up from bottom to top by capillary action.

[0163] It can be understood that the second flow guide 26 is arranged along a straight line trajectory, which is an optional embodiment.

[0164] As shown in Figure 11 In some embodiments, the second flow guide 26 can also be arranged along a broken line trajectory.

[0165] The broken line trajectory can be understood as the flow trajectory of the electrolyte after entering the second flow guide 26.

[0166] Through the above arrangement, when the first port 25a or the second port 25b of the first flow guide 25 is staggered with the flow outlet of the second flow guide 26, the communication can be realized by extending along the broken line trajectory, and the directional flow requirement of the electrolyte is ensured.

[0167] As shown in Figure 12 In some embodiments, the second flow guide 26 includes a main flow guide 261 and a plurality of sub-flow guides 262, the main flow guide 261 is in communication with the first flow guide 25, and each sub-flow guide 262 is arranged in a spaced manner and is in communication with the main flow guide 261.

[0168] The main flow guide 261 is used to communicate with the first flow guide 25 and receive the electrolyte guided by the first flow guide 25, and each sub-flow guide 262 is in communication with the main flow guide 261 and is used to guide the electrolyte flowing to the main flow guide 261 to different positions at the bottom of the shell 20a.

[0169] The number of sub-flow guides 262 can be two, three or more.

[0170] Each sub-flow guide 262 can be arranged in a spaced and parallel manner, and of course, the extension direction of each sub-flow guide 262 can also be partially intersected.

[0171] The second flow guide 26 adopts the cooperation form of the main flow guide 261 and the sub-flow guide 262, which is beneficial to guide the electrolyte to different positions at the bottom of the shell 20a and ensure the uniformity of electrolyte infiltration.

[0172] In some embodiments, a plurality of sub-flow guides 262 are distributed in a spaced manner in the first direction, and one of the sub-flow guides 262 is located at the central position of the insulating member 24 in the first direction.

[0173] The first direction can be the width direction X of the battery monomer 20, or the thickness direction Y of the battery monomer 20. Taking the first direction as the width direction X of the battery monomer 20 as an example. The center position is the same distance from both sides of the battery monomer 20 in the width direction X. The center position can pass through the center line of the battery monomer 20 in the width direction X and extend a distance to both sides of the center line in the width direction X. The number of sub-flow guides 262 can be one, two or more, and when it is more, they can be arranged in a spaced manner in the width direction X.

[0174] Since the center position of the insulation piece 24 corresponds to the electrode assembly 22 with a high probability of liquid seal phenomenon, by locating one of the sub-conducting fluids 262 at the center position of the insulation piece 24 in the first direction, it is beneficial to the electrolyte climbing at the center position of the insulation piece 24 corresponding to the electrode assembly 22, and reduces the probability of liquid seal. The two sides of the center position are provided with the sub-conducting fluid 262, which can ensure the uniformity of the electrode assembly 22 from bottom to top.

[0175] The above and below mentioned from bottom to top can be understood as the height direction Z of the electrode assembly 22, or in other words, the arrangement direction of the bottom wall 241 and the opening 244 of the insulation piece 24, the position of the bottom wall 241 is the bottom, and the position of the opening 244 is the top.

[0176] In some optional embodiments, the battery monomer 20 provided by an embodiment of the application is provided with a first conducting fluid 25 and an insulation piece 24 in an integrated structure.

[0177] Through the above setting, the connection strength between the first conducting fluid 25 and the insulation piece 24 can be ensured.
