Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments.

[0070] It should be noted that when an element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be a centrally disposed element. When an element is considered to be "disposed" or "provided on" another element, it may be directly disposed on the other element or there may be a centrally disposed element.

[0071] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application pertains. The terms used herein in the specification of this application are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit this application. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0072] It should be understood that, considering the factors of actual processing tolerance, the term "perpendicular" in the technical solution of this application is used to describe the ideal state between two components.

[0078] An embodiment of the present application provides a battery pack, comprising a cell assembly, a shell, a front cover and an elastic member. The cell assembly is disposed in the shell. The front cover is connected to the shell.

The shell comprises a top wall and a bottom wall, the top wall is connected to the front cover, and the bottom wall is connected to the front cover. The connection strength between the top wall and the front cover is greater than the connection strength between the bottom wall and the front cover, so that when the cell assembly expands, the expansion force acts on the elastic member, and the elastic member applies the expansion force to the shell. As time goes by, the cell assembly continues to expand, and the elastic member is compressed to its limit and then breaks open the bottom wall, buffering the pressure of the cell assembly, reducing the risk of pressure explosion of the cell assembly, and improving the safety of the battery pack.

[0079] The following describes some embodiments of the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features of the embodiments may be combined with each other.
