The heat dissipation space is provided with an inlet in the second direction and an outlet 2112 in the third direction. The air flow is suitable for flowing from the inlet to the heat dissipation space and out through the outlet 2112. The first direction, the second direction and the third direction intersect with each other. It should be noted that the first direction mentioned above can be understood as Figure 3 The X direction shown in the second direction can be understood as Figure 3 The Z direction shown in the figure, the third direction can be understood as Figure 4In the Y direction shown in the figure, the heat dissipation assembly 200 is arranged to include multiple heat dissipation members 210 arranged at intervals along the first direction, and the battery cell 100 is arranged between two adjacent heat dissipation members 210, so that the battery cell 100 can be cooled by using multiple heat dissipation members 210 at the same time, thereby better controlling the temperature of the battery cell 100. At the same time, by arranging the battery cell 100 between two adjacent heat dissipation members 210 and defining a heat dissipation space between each heat dissipation member 210 and its adjacent battery cell 100, the temperature around the battery cell 100 can also be made more uniform. Each heat dissipation member 210 can dissipate heat to the battery cell 100 near it, thereby reducing the temperature difference between the battery cells 100, which is beneficial to improving the overall performance and life of the battery device 1000.
[0105] In addition, by setting an inlet in the second direction of the heat dissipation space and an outlet 2112 in the third direction of the heat dissipation space, the inlet and outlet 2112 are respectively located in different directions of the heat dissipation space. In this way, when the airflow entering the heat dissipation space through the inlet flows toward the outlet 2112, the extension path and flow time of the airflow in the heat dissipation space can be increased, thereby facilitating the use of the airflow to dissipate heat for the entire large surface of the battery cell 100, and to a certain extent, can improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation assembly 200, so that the internal temperature of the battery cell 100 is balanced, avoiding the problem of local overheating of the battery cell 100, and further can improve the cooling effect of the heat dissipation assembly 200, thereby ensuring the safety and working performance of the battery device 1000.
[0106] It should be noted that setting the inlet in the second direction of the heat dissipation space can avoid the inlet being restricted by the battery cell 100 structure, the mounting bracket and other surrounding components, and can increase the air intake area to a certain extent, ensuring sufficient air intake flow, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the heat dissipation assembly 200 and the battery cell 100 to a certain extent.
[0107] It should also be noted that the heat sink 210 can play a certain supporting and fixing role for the battery cell 100. Placing the battery cell 100 between adjacent heat sinks 210 can make the structure of the battery cell 100 more stable. When the battery device 1000 is subjected to external forces such as vibration and impact, the heat sink 210 can help disperse stress to a certain extent and protect the battery cell 100 from damage, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the battery cell 100.
[0108] It is worth noting that since multiple heat sinks 210 are arranged at intervals along the first direction, the battery cell 100 is arranged between two adjacent heat sinks 210, so that the heat sink 210 and the battery cell 100 are arranged along the first direction. Therefore, the heat dissipation space formed between the heat sink 210 and the battery cell 100 mainly dissipates heat to the side walls of the battery cell 100 in the first direction, that is, to dissipate heat to the large surface of the battery cell 100.
[0109] As can be seen from the above structure, the battery device 1000 of the embodiment of the present application, by setting an inlet in the second direction of the heat dissipation space and an outlet 2112 in the third direction, can increase the extension path and flow time of the airflow in the heat dissipation space when the airflow enters the heat dissipation space through the inlet and flows toward the outlet 2112, thereby facilitating the use of the airflow to dissipate heat from the entire large surface of the battery cell 100, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation assembly 200, and at the same time ensuring the internal temperature balance of the battery cell 100, avoiding the problem of local overheating of the battery cell 100, and ensuring the safety and working performance of the battery device 1000 to a certain extent.
[0110] It can be understood that compared with the prior art, the present application sets an inlet in the second direction of the heat dissipation space and an outlet 2112 in the third direction, so that the inlet and outlet 2112 are respectively located in different directions of the heat dissipation space, thereby facilitating the increase of the extension path and flow time of the airflow in the heat dissipation space, and to a certain extent can improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation assembly 200, thereby improving the safety and working performance of the battery device 1000.
[0111] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 As shown, a guide assembly 2113 is provided within at least one heat dissipation space corresponding to each battery cell 100. The guide assembly 2113 defines a flow channel 2115, which is used to direct airflow from the inlet to the outlet 2112. This allows airflow from the inlet to the heat dissipation space to effectively flow out through the outlet 2112, allowing the airflow to directly and evenly dissipate heat across the entire surface of the battery cell 100. This improves the heat exchange efficiency between the heat dissipation element 210 and the battery cell 100, and further, to a certain extent, improves the heat exchange efficiency between the heat dissipation assembly 200 and the battery cell 100, thereby ensuring the safety and operating performance of the battery device 1000 to a certain extent.
[0112] In some embodiments, each battery cell 100 is provided with a guide assembly 2113 (not shown in this example figure) in the heat dissipation space corresponding to two opposite sides in the first direction. The guide assembly 2113 is used to guide the airflow to flow in a predetermined direction to improve the heat dissipation performance of the heat dissipation space.
[0113] In some embodiments, as Figure 4As shown, the guide assembly 2113 includes a protrusion 21131 protruding from the heat sink 210. The protrusion 21131 contacts the battery cell 100 to define a flow guide channel 2115. This can reduce the difficulty of forming the flow guide channel 2115 to a certain extent, making it easier to process the flow guide channel 2115. At the same time, the flow guide channel 2115 can provide guidance for the airflow, so that the airflow can be evenly distributed and circulated across the entire surface of the battery cell 100.
[0114] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 As shown, the guide assembly 2113 includes a plurality of protrusions 21131 , which protrude toward the battery cell 100 and abut against the battery cell 100 . A guide channel 2115 is defined between two adjacent protrusions 21131 to reduce the difficulty of forming the guide channel 2115 .
[0115] In some embodiments, combined Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, in the third direction, outlets 2112 are provided on both sides of the heat dissipation space, and at least one guide channel 2115 is provided between each outlet 2112 and the inlet. It can be understood here that the heat dissipation element 210 includes two outlets 2112, which are spaced apart at opposite ends of the heat dissipation element 210 in the third direction, so that the two outlets 2112 are arranged in different positions. This allows the airflow in the heat dissipation space to flow in different directions, thereby increasing the contact area between the airflow and the battery cell 100, improving the heat exchange efficiency between the heat dissipation assembly 200 and the battery cell 100 to a certain extent, and balancing the internal temperature of the battery cell 100, thereby avoiding the problem of local overheating of the battery cell 100, and thus improving the safety and operating performance of the battery device 1000.
[0116] It should be noted that at least one guide channel 2115 is provided between each outlet 2112 and the inlet, which means that one guide channel 2115 or multiple guide channels 2115 can be provided between each outlet 2112 and the inlet. The guide channel 2115 is used to provide guidance for the airflow so that it can continue to flow effectively in a predetermined direction, that is, the airflow can flow from the inlet to the heat dissipation space and out through the outlet 2112, thereby enabling the airflow to fully exchange heat with the battery cell 100, thereby avoiding the problem of local overheating of the battery cell 100.
[0117] In some embodiments, a plurality of guide channels 2115 arranged along the second direction are provided between each outlet 2112 and the inlet. This means that a plurality of guide channels 2115 are provided between each outlet 2112 and the inlet, and the plurality of guide channels 2115 are arranged along the second direction. The plurality of guide channels 2115 provide corresponding guidance for the airflow, allowing the battery cells 100 and the heat sink 210 to fully dissipate heat, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between the heat sink 210 and the battery cells 100 to a certain extent.
[0118] At the same time, since multiple guide channels 2115 are arranged along the second direction, the airflow can be distributed at multiple positions of the battery cell 100 in the second direction, so as to utilize the airflow to dissipate heat at multiple positions of the battery cell 100, further improving the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation assembly 200.
[0119] In a specific example, when the vehicle is driving, external air enters from the inlet, and is then diverted by multiple guide channels 2115 so that the airflow is directly and evenly distributed over the entire surface of the battery cell 100. After the battery cell 100 and the heat sink 210 have fully exchanged heat through the airflow, the airflow flows along the multiple guide channels 2115 to the outlet 2112, and the airflow is discharged from the outlet 2112.
[0120] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 As shown, a guide plate 2114 is provided at the inlet, and the guide plate 2114 is used to guide the airflow to the inlet, so that the external airflow can smoothly flow through the inlet into the heat dissipation space, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation assembly 200 to a certain extent.
[0121] In some embodiments, combined Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the guide plate 2114 extends obliquely relative to the battery cell 100. While allowing more air to enter the heat dissipation space through the inlet, the guide plate 2114 can also protect the battery cell 100, preventing foreign matter from contacting the battery cell 100 through the inlet to a certain extent, which is beneficial to extending the service life of the battery cell 100 and improving the safety of the battery cell 100.
[0122] In some embodiments, the heat sink 210 is provided with side plates in the second direction, and at least a portion of the side plates extend obliquely relative to the battery cell 100 to form the guide plate 2114 , thereby reducing the difficulty of forming the guide plate 2114 .
[0123] In some embodiments, combined Figure 4-Figure 7As shown, the heat sink 210 includes a heat sink body 212 and a first connecting portion 213. A heat dissipation space is defined between the heat sink body 212 and the battery cell 100. The first connecting portion 213 is provided at at least one end of the heat sink body 212 in the third direction. The first connecting portion 213 is used to achieve a mating connection between two adjacent heat sinks 210. By configuring the heat sink 210 to include the heat sink body 212 and the first connecting portion 213, and by using the heat sink body 212 and the battery cell 100 to define a heat dissipation space, the heat sink 210 can dissipate heat from the battery cell 100, thereby ensuring temperature balance within the battery cell 100.
[0124] At the same time, by setting the first connecting portion 213 to be used to achieve the matching connection between two adjacent heat sinks 210, not only can the structural stability of the two adjacent heat sinks 210 be guaranteed to a certain extent, but the difficulty of connecting the two adjacent heat sinks 210 can also be reduced, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty of the heat dissipation component 200, so as to facilitate the use of the heat dissipation component 200 to dissipate heat for the battery cell 100, thereby improving the overall performance and life of the battery cell 100.
[0125] In some embodiments, as Figure 13 As shown, the heat dissipation body 212 is provided with first connection portions 213 at opposite ends in the third direction. The two first connection portions 213 cooperate to achieve the mating connection between two adjacent heat dissipation elements 210, thereby increasing the strength of the mating connection between the two adjacent heat dissipation elements 210 and improving the positional stability of the heat dissipation elements 210, thereby ensuring the working performance of the heat dissipation elements 210 to a certain extent.
[0126] In some embodiments, combined Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 13 As shown, the heat sink 210 further includes a second connection portion 2121. The second connection portion 2121 and the first connection portion 213 are disposed at the same end of the heat sink body 212 in the third direction. The second connection portion 2121 and the first connection portion 213 are aligned along the first direction. In the third direction, the first connection portion 213 protrudes from the second connection portion 2121. Among two adjacent heat sinks 210, the first connection portion 213 on one heat sink 210 is positionally engaged with the second connection portion 2121 of the other heat sink 210. This allows two adjacent heat sinks 210 to be connected via the first connection portion 213, thereby achieving a coordinated connection of multiple heat sinks 210. The multiple heat sinks 210 form a heat sink assembly 200, which can ensure the structural stability of the heat sink assembly 200 to a certain extent, thereby preventing the heat sink assembly 200 from shaking or displacement under external impact, thereby ensuring the operating performance of the heat sink assembly 200.
[0127] In some embodiments, combined Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the first connection portion 213 and the second connection portion 2121 are connected to each other. This allows the first connection portion 213 and the second connection portion 2121 to cooperate and support each other, improves the positional stability of the first connection portion 213 and the second connection portion 2121, and ensures the working performance of the first connection portion 213 and the second connection portion 2121 to a certain extent, thereby facilitating the cooperative connection of the two heat sinks 210 using the first connection portion 213 and the second connection portion 2121.
[0128] In some embodiments, combined Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the heat dissipation body 212 is provided with a first connection part 213 and a second connection part 2121 at both ends in the third direction. On the one hand, it is convenient to increase the structural strength of the heat dissipation element 210, and on the other hand, it is convenient to use the first connection part 213 and the second connection part 2121 to increase the matching connection strength of the two adjacent heat dissipation elements 210.
[0129] In some embodiments, combined Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the first connection part 213 is connected to the second connection part 2121 and is arranged near one end of the second connection part 2121 in the first direction. In the third direction, the first connection part 213 protrudes from the second connection part 2121, so that the first connection part 213 is formed as a connecting convex part and the second connection part 2121 is formed as a connecting concave part, thereby facilitating the use of the first connection part 213 and the second connection part 2121 to achieve the matching connection of two adjacent heat sinks 210 and reduce the difficulty of forming the connecting convex part and the connecting concave part.
[0130] Optionally, in the third direction, at least a portion of the second connection portion 2121 is disposed directly opposite the battery cell 100, and a gap is formed between the second connection portion 2121 and the battery cell 100 to define a discharge channel. The discharge channel communicates with the heat dissipation space via the outlet 2112, and the discharge channel is provided with a discharge outlet at at least one end in the second direction. By defining the discharge channel and arranging the discharge channel to communicate with the heat dissipation space via the outlet 2112, airflow within the heat dissipation space can flow into the discharge channel through the outlet 2112. Because the discharge channel is defined by at least a portion of the second connection portion 2121 cooperating with the battery cell 100, and the second connection portion 2121 is connected to at least one end of the heat dissipation body 212 in the third direction, airflow can flow to the sidewalls of the battery cell 100 in the third direction, thereby facilitating heat dissipation from the sidewalls of the battery cell 100 in the third direction using the airflow, thereby enabling the heat dissipation assembly 200 to simultaneously dissipate heat from multiple sides of the battery cell 100, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation assembly 200 to a certain extent, thereby ensuring the safety and performance of the battery device 1000.
[0131] At the same time, by setting an exhaust port on at least one end of the second direction of the exhaust channel, the airflow in the exhaust channel can be discharged smoothly, so that the airflow in the heat dissipation space can be discharged smoothly, which is conducive to introducing new airflow into the heat dissipation space, realizing the circulation of airflow in the heat dissipation space, and improving the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation component 200.
[0132] In a specific example, the heat dissipation body 212 is provided with a second connection portion 2121 at both ends in the third direction, so that a discharge channel is formed at both ends of the battery cell 100 in the third direction, so that the heat dissipation component 200 can dissipate heat on at least three sides of the battery cell 100, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation component 200.
[0133] In some embodiments, combined Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 13 As shown, at least a portion of the heat dissipation body 212 is further provided with a guide protrusion 2122 and a guide groove 2123 on at least one end in the third direction. The guide protrusion 2122 and the guide groove 2123 are sequentially arranged along the first direction. Among two adjacent heat dissipation elements 210, the guide protrusion 2122 on one heat dissipation element 210 is guided and fitted within the guide groove 2123 of the other heat dissipation element 210. This ensures, to a certain extent, that the relative positions of the two adjacent heat dissipation elements 210 are accurate during installation and mating, thereby ensuring that the relative positions of multiple heat dissipation elements 210 are accurate during installation and mating, thereby ensuring the accuracy and stability of the entire heat dissipation assembly 200 and the operating performance of the heat dissipation assembly 200.
[0134] It should be noted that the matching connection between the guide protrusion 2122 and the guide groove 2123 usually has a certain guiding property. When assembling the heat dissipation component 200, it can guide multiple heat dissipation components 210 to be installed smoothly, which can reduce the assembly difficulty of the heat dissipation component 200 to a certain extent, and thus can improve the assembly efficiency of the heat dissipation component 200. At the same time, when the heat dissipation component 200 needs to be disassembled, the disassembly operation is also easy to perform, avoiding excessive damage to other components of the battery device 1000.
[0135] In some embodiments, combined Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 13 As shown, at least part of the heat dissipation body 212 is provided with a guide protrusion 2122 and a guide groove 2123 at both ends in the third direction, so that two adjacent heat dissipation elements 210 can be assembled accurately.
[0136] In some embodiments, combined Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the guide protrusion 2122 and the first connection portion 213 are provided at the same end of the heat dissipation body 212 and are arranged sequentially along the second direction. In the first direction, the extension direction of the guide protrusion 2122 is opposite to the extension direction of the first connection portion 213. The first direction herein can also be understood as the front-to-back direction of the battery device 1000. Therefore, the extension direction of the guide protrusion 2122 is opposite to the extension direction of the first connection portion 213. This can also be understood as meaning that when the guide protrusion 2122 extends toward the front of the battery device 1000, the first connection portion 213 extends toward the rear of the battery device 1000. This allows the middle heat dissipation element 210 to simultaneously connect with two adjacent heat dissipation elements 210 among the three heat dissipation elements 210, thereby enabling the interconnected connection of multiple adjacent heat dissipation elements 210, facilitating the formation of the overall structure of the heat dissipation assembly 200 and improving the structural stability of the heat dissipation assembly 200.
[0137] At the same time, by arranging the guide protrusion 2122 and the first connection part 213 to be arranged in sequence along the second direction of the heat dissipation body 212, it is convenient to rationally utilize the space on the heat dissipation body 212 and avoid interference between the guide protrusion 2122 and the first connection part 213, so that the guide protrusion 2122 and the first connection part 213 can be arranged at the same end of the heat dissipation body 212, so that when the first connection part 213 is matched with the second connection part 2121, the guide protrusion 2122 can be effectively guided to match in the guide groove 2123, so as to realize the mutual matching connection between multiple adjacent heat dissipation parts 210.
[0138] In some embodiments, combined Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a buffer member 300 is provided between the protrusion 21131 and the battery cell 100. This can, to a certain extent, resist and buffer the external vibration and impact on the battery cell 100 during use, thereby reducing friction and collision between the battery cell 100 and the heat sink 210, further protecting the battery cell 100 and the heat sink 210 from damage, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the battery device 1000.
[0139] In some embodiments, the buffer 300 is made of foam or rubber.
[0140] It should be noted that the foam can fill the gap between the battery cell 100 and the protrusion 21131, and to a certain extent prevent the air flow from leaking through the gap between the battery cell 100 and the protrusion 21131. This can ensure that the air flow can flow according to the designed guide channel 2115, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat sink 210, and allowing the air flow to more effectively contact the entire large surface of the battery cell 100, thereby taking away the heat generated by the battery cell 100 and avoiding the problem of local overheating, thereby ensuring the safety and working performance of the battery device 1000.
[0141] Of course, in some other embodiments, the buffer member 300 may not be disposed between the heat dissipation member 210 and the battery cell 100 .
[0142] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the multiple heat sinks 210 include two first heat sinks 214 (one of which is not shown) and a second heat sink 215. The two first heat sinks 214 are spaced apart in a first direction, and the second heat sink 215 is disposed between the two first heat sinks 214. The side of each first heat sink 214 facing the second heat sink 215 cooperates with the battery cells 100 to define a heat dissipation space. Each second heat sink 215 is provided with battery cells 100 on both sides in the first direction, and a heat dissipation space is defined between each second heat sink 215 and at least one battery cell 100 on one side. This allows one battery cell 100 to simultaneously correspond to two heat sinks 210, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between the battery cell 100 and the heat sink 210 to a certain extent. Furthermore, the first heat sink 214 and the second heat sink 215 protect the battery cell 100 from external impacts, thereby ensuring the operating performance of the battery cell 100 to a certain extent.
[0143] The specific structure of the first heat sink 214 can be found in Figures 8-12 The specific structure of the second heat sink 215 can be found in Figure 13-15 .
[0144] In some embodiments, each second heat dissipation member 215 may also define a heat dissipation space with the battery cells 100 on two opposite sides, which is not specifically limited in this application.
[0145] In some embodiments, combined Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the battery device 1000 further includes an output stage base 400 (the specific structure of the output stage base 400 can also be seen in Figure 9 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 The output stage base 400 is used to support the output stage circuit electrically connected to the battery cell 100. The output stage base 400 and the first heat sink 214 are integrally formed. Using the output stage base 400 to support the output stage circuit electrically connected to the battery cell 100 improves the stability of the output stage circuit and ensures its operating performance to a certain extent.
[0146] At the same time, by configuring the output stage base 400 and the first heat sink 214 as an integrally molded part, the output stage base 400 and the first heat sink 214 can be integrally molded. On the one hand, the number of molds used in the production of the output stage base 400 and the first heat sink 214 can be reduced, thereby reducing the packaging and production costs of the output stage base 400 and the first heat sink 214. On the other hand, the integration of the output stage base 400 and the first heat sink 214 can be improved, thereby improving the assembly efficiency and structural stability of the battery device 1000 to a certain extent.
[0147] At the same time, the integrally formed structural design of the output stage base 400 and the first heat sink 214 can also eliminate the original assembly gap between the output stage base 400 and the first heat sink 214, eliminating the risk of electrical safety caused by conductive parts around the output stage base 400 passing through the gap between the first heat sink 214 and the output stage base 400, thereby ensuring the safety of the battery device 1000.
[0148] In some embodiments, the battery device 1000 further includes a housing (not shown) having a hollow interior, within which the battery cells 100 and the heat sink assembly 200 are disposed. The housing provides mechanical protection for the battery cells 100, the heat sink assembly 200, and other components, preventing damage to the battery cells 100 and the heat sink assembly 200 from external forces such as collision, compression, or vibration during transportation, installation, and use, thereby ensuring the proper functioning of the battery cells 100 and the heat sink assembly 200.
[0149] In some embodiments, the outer shell is generally made of insulating material, which can isolate the charged components inside the battery device 1000 from the external environment to prevent electric shock accidents. At the same time, the outer shell can also prevent electrical short circuits between different battery cells 100, thereby ensuring the safety and reliability of the battery device 1000.
[0150] In some embodiments, combined Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, an elastic fin 500 is provided on the side of the first heat sink 214 facing away from the second heat sink 215. The elastic fin 500 protrudes toward the outer shell and abuts against the outer shell. The elastic fin 500 is used to absorb the stress generated by the expansion of the battery cell 100. This prevents the battery cell 100 from deformation or rupture, thereby extending the service life of the battery cell 100.
[0151] At the same time, the elastic fins 500 can also significantly increase the surface area of the first heat sink 214. When the battery cell 100 generates heat during the charging and discharging process, the elastic fins 500 can dissipate the heat more effectively into the surrounding air, which can improve the heat dissipation effect of the first heat sink 214 to a certain extent, thereby ensuring the safety and working performance of the battery device 1000.
[0152] In some embodiments, combined Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in the convex direction of the elastic fin 500, the elastic fin 500 extends obliquely relative to the housing. This gives the elastic fin 500 a certain curvature. When the battery cell 100 expands due to heat, the elastic fin 500 can effectively deform to absorb the stress generated by the expansion of the battery cell 100, thereby preventing the battery cell 100 from deforming or rupturing and extending the service life of the battery cell 100.
[0153] In some embodiments, combined Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, in the first direction, a protrusion 21131 is provided on one side of the second heat sink 215. The protrusion 21131 contacts the battery cell 100 to define a flow channel 2115. The other side of the second heat sink 215 defines a mounting space 2152. A mating member 2151 is provided within the mounting space 2152. The mating member 2151 cooperates with the battery cell 100 on the corresponding side to position the battery cell 100. By utilizing the protrusion 21131 to contact the battery cell 100 to define the flow channel 2115, the difficulty of forming the flow channel 2115 is reduced, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation assembly 200.
[0154] At the same time, by using the fitting 2151 to position the battery cell 100, the battery cell 100 is prevented from displacement or shaking under external force to a certain extent, so that the battery cell 100 can maintain a certain position stability, thereby ensuring the working performance of the battery cell 100.
[0155] In some embodiments, combined Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the second heat sink 215 includes a heat sink body 212 and a mounting sidewall 217. The heat sink body 212 is provided with a protrusion 21131 on one side in the first direction. The mounting sidewall 217 includes a second connecting portion 2121. At least a portion of the mounting sidewall 217 is provided on the other side of the heat sink body 212 in the first direction. The mounting sidewall 217 cooperates with the heat sink body 212 to define a mounting space 2152. A mating member 2151 is provided on the side of the mounting sidewall 217 facing the mounting space 2152. Thus, the mating member 2151 is provided within the mounting space 2152, enabling the mating member 2151 to effectively cooperate with the battery cell 100 on the corresponding side to position the battery cell 100, thereby improving the positional stability of the battery cell 100.
[0156] At the same time, by arranging the fitting member 2151 on the installation side wall 217 , the installation side wall 217 can be used to support the fitting member 2151 , thereby improving the position stability of the fitting member 2151 and thus improving the working performance of the fitting member 2151 .
[0157] In some embodiments, the fitting 2151 can be mounted on the mounting side wall 217 by welding, bonding, or integral molding to improve the connection strength between the fitting 2151 and the mounting side wall 217 , thereby improving the position stability of the fitting 2151 .
[0158] In some embodiments, combined Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, there are multiple fittings 2151, each of which is an elastic sheet mounted in the mounting space 2152. The multiple elastic sheets engage with different side walls of the battery cell 100 to position the battery cell 100. By configuring the fittings 2151 as elastic sheets, the fittings 2151 can be deformed under external forces and return to their original shape after the external forces disappear. This facilitates the use of the fittings 2151 to secure the battery cell 100, maintaining a fixed position within the battery device 1000. This prevents displacement or collision of the battery cell 100 due to shaking, vibration, etc. during use, enhances the stability of the battery cell 100, and protects the battery cell 100 from mechanical damage. Furthermore, appropriate pressure helps maintain good contact between the battery cell 100 and other components (such as electrodes and connectors), thereby ensuring the performance of the battery cell 100.
[0159] It should be noted that since the elastic sheet has a certain elastic deformation ability, it can play a buffering role when the battery cell 100 is subjected to external impact or vibration. During the charging and discharging process of the battery cell 100, the battery cell 100 will undergo a slight change in volume due to internal chemical reactions. The elastic sheet can adapt to this volume change of the battery cell 100 through its own elastic deformation, avoiding stress concentration caused by the volume change of the battery cell 100, thereby protecting the structural integrity of the battery cell 100, and thus ensuring the working performance of the battery cell 100.
[0160] In addition, by providing multiple fittings 2151 and configuring the multiple fittings 2151 to engage with different side walls of the battery cell 100 , it is convenient to use the fittings 2151 to fix the multiple side walls of the battery cell 100 , thereby maximizing the positional stability of the battery cell 100 .
[0161] In some embodiments, the fitting 2151 can be made of materials such as silicone or rubber; or, the fitting 2151 is configured to extend obliquely relative to the mounting side wall 217 (e.g., Figure 14 as shown), so that the fitting 2151 is formed as an elastic part.
[0162] In some embodiments, as Figure 14 As shown, the mounting side wall 217 includes two second connection portions 2121 and a supporting bottom wall 216. The two second connection portions 2121 are spaced apart at opposite ends of the heat dissipation body 212 in the third direction. The supporting bottom wall 216 is provided at one end of the heat dissipation body 212 in the second direction. The two second connection portions 2121 and the supporting bottom wall 216 both extend along the first direction. The two second connection portions 2121, the supporting bottom wall 216, and the heat dissipation body 212 cooperate to define a mounting space 2152. This reduces the difficulty of forming the mounting space 2152, enables the mounting space 2152 to effectively support the battery cell 100, and improves the positional stability of the battery cell 100.
[0163] In some embodiments, as Figure 14 As shown, the two second connection parts 2121 and one supporting bottom wall 216 are each provided with at least one mating piece 2151 on one side facing the installation space 2152, so as to realize the setting of multiple mating pieces 2151, and enable the multiple mating pieces 2151 to abut against different side walls of the battery cell 100 to position the battery cell 100.
[0164] At the same time, by arranging at least one fitting 2151 on one side of the two second connection parts 2121 toward the installation space 2152, it is also convenient to use the fitting 2151 to achieve the spacing setting of the second connection part 2121 and the battery cell 100, thereby facilitating the definition of the discharge channel and reducing the difficulty of forming the discharge channel.
[0165] In some embodiments, as Figure 14 As shown, the heat dissipation body 212 is not provided with a supporting bottom wall 216 at the other end in the second direction, so as to form a mounting opening at the other end in the second direction of the heat dissipation element 210 , thereby reducing the difficulty of mounting the battery cell 100 .
[0166] In some embodiments, as Figure 14 As shown, the supporting bottom wall 216 extends along the second direction, and the two opposite ends of the supporting bottom wall 216 in the second direction are respectively connected to two second connecting parts 2121, so that the two second connecting parts 2121 and one supporting bottom wall 216 can support each other, thereby improving the positional stability of the second connecting parts 2121 and the supporting bottom wall 216.
[0167] The second connection portion 2121 and the supporting bottom wall 216 may be connected in a fitting manner by welding, bonding or an integral molding process.
