The shell 13 and the end cover 12 can be independent components, and an opening can be provided on the shell 13, and the end cover 12 is used to cover the opening to form the internal environment of the battery cell 11. Without limitation, the end cover 12 and the shell 13 can also be integrated, specifically, the end cover 12 and the shell 13 can form a common connecting surface before other components enter the shell, and when it is necessary to seal the internal environment of the shell 13, the end cover 12 is used to cover the shell 13. The shell 13 can be various shapes and sizes, such as a cuboid, a cylinder, a hexagonal prism, etc. Specifically, the shape of the shell 13 can be determined according to the specific shape and size of the electrode assembly 14.

Please refer to Figures 2 to 11The embodiment of the application provides a battery device 100, which comprises a shell 20, a current collection assembly 400, a sampling assembly 500 and a plurality of battery monomers 11; the shell 20 comprises a box body 21 and a cover body 22, the box body 21 contains the plurality of battery monomers 11, and the cover body 22 is arranged on an opening of the box body 21; the current collection assembly 400 is electrically connected with the plurality of battery monomers 11, and the current collection assembly 400 has a first clamping part 410, and the first clamping part 410 comprises at least one protrusion 411; the sampling assembly 500 is connected to an inner side of the cover body 22 facing the box body 21, and the sampling assembly 500 has a second clamping part 510, and the second clamping part 510 comprises at least one clamping groove 511 for clamping one-to-one with the at least one protrusion 411, and the clamping groove 511 comprises a through groove with a first opening at both ends in the maximum expansion direction of the battery monomer; the second clamping part 510 is used for clamping and connecting with the first clamping part 410 when the cover body 22 is covered with the box body 21, so that the sampling assembly 500 and the current collection assembly 400 are electrically connected through the electrical connection of the first clamping part 410 and the second clamping part 510.
[0095] In the embodiment, the shell 20 can comprise the box body 21 and the cover body 22, as shown in Figure 2 In the embodiment, the box body 21 can have a containing cavity, and the top of the containing cavity can have an opening, and the cover body 22 can be connected by covering the opening, so that the box body 21 and the cover body 22 are connected.
[0096] The box body 21 is the structural cornerstone of the whole battery device, and it needs to provide a stable and flat mounting platform for the battery monomers, so as to ensure the precision and mechanical stability of the stacked battery monomers. At the same time, the box body 21 constitutes the bottom protective barrier of the battery device, and can directly resist external impact and environmental invasion from flying stones on the road, scratches, accumulated water and the like, and is very important to protect the structural integrity of the battery device.
[0097] The box body 21 can contain a plurality of battery monomers 11, and the plurality of battery monomers can be arranged in an array, as shown in Figure 2 In the embodiment, the battery device 100 can comprise two rows of battery monomer groups, and the current collection assembly 400 can be arranged on the top of the battery monomers 11. The current collection assembly 400 can electrically connect the positive and negative electrodes of the battery monomers or the battery modules in series and parallel, so as to form a required total voltage and capacity output loop. Specifically, the current collection assembly 400 can be welded with the electrode terminals 15 of the battery monomers 11, so as to connect the plurality of battery monomers 11, and the current collection assembly 400 can be used for transmitting current, so as to realize series connection, parallel connection or hybrid connection of the battery monomers 11 and the like.
[0098] At the same time, the current collection assembly 400 also provides a physical interface for the connection of the voltage sampling points.
[0099] The cover 22 can be a key component for sealing and protecting the top of the battery device, and it can be highly integrated with the sampling assembly as a "sampling platform" to carry the physical carrier and interface for signal acquisition of the battery device. It can be understood that the cover 22 can be a plate structure, which can be made of insulating materials such as plastic, or can be formed by composite injection molding of plastic and metal materials. For example, the inner side surface of the cover 22 facing the box 21 can be an insulating surface, and the sampling assembly 500 can be arranged on the insulating surface. The sampling assembly 500 can be connected with the cover 22 by bonding, screwing, clamping, etc.
[0100] The sampling assembly 500 as a neural network structure for signal acquisition can be used to acquire temperature or voltage signals of the battery cells. The bus assembly 400 has a first clamping portion 410, and the sampling assembly 500 has a second clamping portion 510. When the cover 22 and the box 21 are closed, the first clamping portion 410 and the second clamping portion 510 can be clamped and connected.
[0101] It can be understood that the sampling assembly 500 can be precisely installed on the pre-set fixed point on the inner side of the cover by positioning installation, and the bus assembly 400 can also be positioned and installed with the box. When the cover and the box are positioned and installed, the corresponding between the sampling assembly 500 and the bus assembly 400 can be realized, that is, the first clamping portion 410 can be aligned with and clamped to the second clamping portion 510.
[0102] In addition, the first clamping portion 410 and the second clamping portion 510 can also be made of conductive materials, so that when the first clamping portion 410 and the second clamping portion 510 are clamped and connected, the first clamping portion 410 and the second clamping portion 510 can be electrically connected, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the bus assembly 400 and the sampling assembly 500.
[0103] It can be understood that in some embodiments, the first clamping portion can be a voltage sampling point, and the connection of the first clamping portion 410 and the second clamping portion 510 can realize voltage sampling.
[0104] In this embodiment, the first clamping portion 410 can include one or more protrusions 411, which can be arranged on the bus assembly 400 and can protrude towards the cover 22. The shape of the protrusion 411 can be various, such as strip-shaped, spherical, block-shaped, etc.
[0105] The second clamping portion can include one or more clamping grooves 511, and the number of the clamping grooves 511 can be consistent with the protrusions, which can correspond one by one. The shape of the clamping groove 511 can match the shape of the protrusion 411, thereby realizing the clamping of the two.
[0106] It can be understood that the maximum expansion direction of the battery cell can be the direction in which the battery cell is most likely to expand and deform. For example, for a prismatic battery cell, the maximum expansion direction can be the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the battery cell. Figure 3The square battery monomer in the battery device 100 has a maximum expansion direction, which is the first direction X, i.e., the width direction of the battery monomer. When the battery monomers are arranged and installed in the box, the maximum expansion direction can also be Figure 2 the first direction X.
[0107] As shown in Figure 7 and Figure 10 The clamping groove 511 can be a through groove with both ends not sealed. The through groove can extend along the first direction X (the maximum expansion direction). The cross-sectional shape of the clamping groove 511 can be set according to the situation.
[0108] When the battery monomer expands, it will drive the deformation of the busbar assembly, causing the connection position of the busbar assembly and the sampling assembly to deform along the maximum expansion direction. By setting the clamping groove as a through groove, the protrusion on the busbar assembly can be allowed to move relative to the clamping groove, thereby avoiding pulling the sampling assembly.
[0109] In addition, by setting the size of the clamping groove 511 along the first direction X and the size of the protrusion 411 along the first direction X, the clamping groove 511 can still cooperate with the protrusion 411 after expansion deformation, thereby stably achieving electrical connection. It can be understood that in the installation process of the battery device in the embodiment, the sampling assembly 500 can be pre-installed on the cover 22, the battery monomers 11 can be installed in the box 21, then the busbar assembly 400 is connected to the top surface of the battery monomers 11, and then the cover 22 is covered on the opening of the box 21. At this time, the clamping connection between the protrusion and the clamping groove can be achieved, thereby achieving electrical connection through the contact between the clamping groove and the protrusion, and further achieving electrical connection between the busbar assembly 400 and the sampling assembly 500.
[0110] In the embodiment, the number of sampling assemblies 500 can be one or more, which can be set according to the arrangement of the battery monomers. For example, Figure 2 Two rows of battery monomers are shown in , which can correspond to two sampling assemblies 500. The busbar assembly 400 can be fixed and electrically connected to the two sampling assemblies 500 through clamping.
[0111] In addition, in the embodiment, the battery device 100 can be a battery pack or a battery module, which can be set according to the needs. The battery monomers 11 can also be pre-formed into a battery module and installed in the shell to form a battery device.
[0112] It can be understood that in the related art, the flexible circuit board and the busbar are pre-welded into a CCS, and then the CCS is installed on the battery box. Since the flexible circuit board is generally arranged on the busbar, it is easy to be damaged by other components or tools. Therefore, after installing the CCS, an insulating sheet needs to be pasted on the surface to play an insulating protection role before the upper cover is installed, so as to avoid damaging the flexible circuit board.
[0113] In the embodiment, by installing the sampling assembly on the cover body, when the cover body is combined with the box body, the sampling assembly can be installed and electrically connected with the bus assembly through the clamping of the first clamping part and the second clamping part. Compared with the scheme of first installing the CCS and then pasting the insulating sheet in the related art, the insulating sheet does not need to be set, and the insulating sheet installation process does not need to be set, so that the material can be saved, the cost is reduced, and the installation process is simplified.
[0114] In addition, the sampling assembly is directly installed on the cover body, and no assembly space needs to be reserved on the inside of the cover body, so that the thickness of the cover body can be reduced, and the energy density of the battery can be improved.
[0115] In addition, the sampling assembly is directly installed on the cover body, and no assembly space needs to be reserved on the inside of the cover body, so that the thickness of the cover body can be reduced, and the energy density of the battery can be improved.
[0116] In the embodiment, the clamping connection and electrical connection of the bus assembly and the sampling assembly are achieved through the clamping of the clamping groove and the protrusion, and the structure is simple and easy to implement.
[0117] By setting the clamping groove as a through groove, when the battery monomer expands, the protrusion on the bus assembly can move relative to the clamping groove, so that the sampling assembly is prevented from being pulled, and stable electrical connection of the sampling assembly and the bus assembly can be achieved.
[0118] According to some embodiments of the present application, the inside of the cover body 22 is provided with a first connecting part 710, the sampling assembly 500 is provided with a first matching part 720, the first connecting part 710 is in positioning connection with the first matching part 720; the cover body 22 is further provided with a second connecting part 730, the bus assembly 400 is provided with a second matching part 740, and the second connecting part 730 is in positioning connection with the second matching part 740.
[0119] In the embodiment, the cover body 22 can be provided with the first connecting part 710, and the sampling assembly 500 can be provided with the first matching part 720. One of the first connecting part 710 and the first matching part 720 can be a first positioning groove, and the other can be a first positioning column. The cover body 22 and the sampling assembly 500 can be in positioning connection by inserting the first positioning column into the first positioning groove.
[0120] In addition, the cover 22 can be further provided with a second connecting portion 730, and the current collection assembly 400 can be provided with a second matching portion 740. One of the second connecting portion 730 and the second matching portion 740 can be a second positioning slot, and the other can be a second positioning column. The cover 22 and the current collection assembly 400 can be positioned and connected by inserting the second positioning column into the second positioning slot.
[0121] It can be understood that, in addition to the positioning mode of the positioning slot and the positioning column, the positioning and connection between the first connecting portion 710 and the first matching portion 720 and between the second connecting portion 730 and the second matching portion 740 can also have other positioning structures, for example, the positioning can be achieved by aligning the positioning holes. The specific arrangement can be set according to the actual situation.
[0122] In the embodiment, the cover and the sampling assembly can be positioned and connected through the first connecting portion and the first matching portion, and the cover and the current collection assembly can be positioned and connected through the second connecting portion and the second matching portion. When the cover and the box body are assembled, the sampling assembly and the current collection assembly can be precisely positioned, that is, the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion can be precisely clamped and connected, which is beneficial to improve the precision and reliability of the connection between the sampling assembly and the current collection assembly. In addition, the sampling assembly and the current collection assembly only need to rely on the positioning and connection of the cover to achieve precise positioning, and the involved components are less, and the positioning precision is higher.
[0123] According to some embodiments of the present application, the first connecting portion 710 includes at least one first connecting hole 711, the first matching portion 720 includes at least one first matching hole 721, the first connecting hole 711 is detachably connected with the first matching hole 721 through a first fastener 750; the second connecting portion 730 is arranged at the edge of the cover 22, the second connecting portion 730 includes at least one second connecting hole 731, the second matching portion 740 is arranged at the edge of the current collection assembly 400, the second matching portion 740 includes at least one second matching hole 741, and a second fastener 760 can pass through the second connecting hole 731 and the second matching hole 741 and be detachably connected with the box body 21.
[0124] It can be understood that the first connecting portion 710 can include one or more first connecting holes 711 (as shown by the position of the first connecting hole 711 on the cover exposed through the first matching hole 721), and a plurality of first connecting holes 711 can be dispersedly arranged on the sampling assembly 500, for example, the sampling assembly 500 can extend along the first direction X, and a plurality of first connecting holes 711 can be arranged in the sampling assembly 500 along the first direction X. Figure 4 Figure 2
[0125] Correspondingly, the first matching part 720 on the sampling assembly 500 can also include one or more first matching holes 721, and the first connecting holes 711 can correspond to the first matching holes 721 one by one, for example, the hole diameters of the two can be the same.
[0126] The first fastener 750 can be a detachable fastener such as a screw or a rivet, so as to realize detachable connection of the sampling assembly 500 and the cover body. Figure 4 In the exploded view, the first fastener 750 can be arranged through the first connecting hole 711 and matched with the first matching hole 721, so as to accurately install the sampling assembly 500 on the preset installation position of the cover body 22.
[0127] Similarly, the second connecting part 730 can include one or more second connecting holes 731, which can be arranged on the edge of the cover body 22, for example, Figure 2 As shown, the four edges of the cover body 22 can be uniformly distributed with a plurality of second connecting holes 731.
[0128] The second matching part 740 can also include one or more second matching holes 741, which can also be arranged on the edge of the bus assembly 400, for example, Figure 2 As shown, the area of the bus assembly 400 in the XY plane can be substantially the same as the area of the cover body 22 after being closed, and the four edges of the bus assembly 400 can be uniformly distributed with a plurality of second matching holes 741. Among them, the first direction X can be the length direction of the box body 21, Y can be the second direction perpendicular to the first direction X, which can be the width direction of the box body 21, and Z can be the direction perpendicular to the first direction X and the second direction Y, which can be the height direction of the box body 21. In addition, Figure 2 Among them, the XYZ direction is based on the direction of the box body, and since the cover body 22 is in an open state, its direction does not match the XYZ direction. Unless otherwise stated, the directions of the cover body and the sampling assembly in the following are based on the direction when they are closed on the box body.
[0129] In addition, the edge of the box body 21 can also be uniformly distributed with one or more installation holes. It can be understood that the second connecting hole, the second matching hole and the installation hole can correspond one by one, and the second fastener 760 can be arranged through the second connecting hole 731, the second matching hole 741 and matched with the installation hole in sequence.
[0130] It can be understood that in the embodiment, the edge of the bus assembly 400 can be mounted between the cover 22 and the box 21, and the second fastener 760 can also be used to connect the box 21 and the cover 22, and can pass through the second matching hole on the bus assembly 400 during the connection process, so as to realize the positioning connection between the cover 22 and the bus assembly 400. The second fastener 760 can be a screw or a rivet (detachable) or other detachable fastener, so that the cover and the box can be detachable.
[0131] In the embodiment, the first fastener can be connected with the first connecting hole and the first matching hole, so as to realize the disassembly of the sampling assembly and the cover. When the sampling assembly has a problem, it can be replaced conveniently without scrapping the entire battery device, thereby reducing production loss. At the same time, the installation and positioning of the sampling assembly and the cover can be realized, and the structure is simple.
[0132] The second fastener, the second connecting hole and the second matching hole can realize the positioning between the bus assembly and the cover by using the connection structure of the box and the cover, thereby simplifying the structure. Compared with the positioning connection mode of the bus assembly and the cover, the positioning connection mode of the box and the cover, and the positioning connection mode of the cover and the sampling assembly, the number of components involved in the positioning process can be reduced, so that the positioning of the bus assembly and the sampling assembly can be realized accurately, the clamping connection of the first clamping part and the second clamping part can be realized accurately, and the precision and reliability of the connection between the sampling assembly and the bus assembly can be improved.
[0133] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 According to some embodiments of the present application, the sampling assembly 500 includes a sampling body 520 extending along a first direction X and a first conductive part 530 connected to both ends of the sampling body 520 along a second direction Y, and the second clamping part 510 is arranged on the first conductive part 530, and the sampling body 520 and the first conductive part 530 are both provided with a first matching part 720; wherein the first direction X and the second direction Y are arranged vertically.
[0134] The sampling body 520 can be the circuit body of the sampling assembly 500, for example, it can be an FPC. The sampling body 520 can extend along the first direction X, that is, along the length direction of the battery device 100, as shown in Figure 6 The two end edges of the sampling body 520 along the second direction can each be provided with one or more first conductive parts 530. The first conductive part 530 can be made of a material such as nickel sheet that can realize electrical conduction, and it can be used as a key voltage sampling point connector. A plurality of first conductive parts 530 are usually arranged in groups, corresponding to the sampling positions of each module or battery monomer group.
[0135] The first conductive member 530 can be used to connect the sampling body 520 and the bus assembly 400. It can be understood that the FPC has a certain flexibility, and by arranging the first conductive member 530 with better rigidity thereon, the FPC can be conveniently clamped with the bus assembly 400 to realize voltage sampling.
[0136] In addition, the second clamping portion 510 can be arranged on the first conductive member 530. In some embodiments, the clamping groove 511 can be arranged on the edge of the sampling body 520, for example, on the edge of the two ends of the sampling body 520 along the second direction Y. In other embodiments, the clamping groove 511 can be arranged on the end of the first conductive member away from the sampling body 520 to be clamped with the bus assembly 400. The first matching portion 720 can also be arranged on the first conductive member 530, for example, one or more first matching holes 721 can be arranged on the first conductive member 530. Correspondingly, the first connecting hole 711 corresponding to the first matching hole 721 can be arranged on the inner side of the cover 22, so as to realize the accurate positioning of the first conductive member and the cover 22. It can be understood that, since the second clamping portion 510 is also arranged on the first conductive member 530, by arranging the first matching portion 720 directly on the first conductive member 530, the positioning error between the second clamping portion 510 and the cover can be further reduced, thereby reducing the positioning error between the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion 510 and improving the clamping accuracy.
[0137] In some embodiments, the clamping groove can be bent from the first conductive member 530, so as to simplify the processing steps, and at the same time, the second clamping portion bent from the first conductive member 530 can have a certain elasticity, which is more conducive to clamping connection.
[0138] In some embodiments, when the materials of the protrusion 411 and the clamping groove are different, a plating layer can be arranged on the protrusion 411 (the first clamping portion) or the clamping groove (the second clamping portion) to increase the conductivity between the two. For example, the clamping groove can be composed of a nickel sheet, and the protrusion 411 can be composed of copper or aluminum material. A nickel plating layer can be arranged on the surface of the protrusion 411 to increase the conductivity when the two are clamped.
[0139] It can be understood that when the first conductive member is a nickel sheet, it has a certain elasticity. When the clamping groove is bent from the nickel sheet, it can be accurately pressed against the protrusion on the bus assembly. The elastic pressure of the nickel sheet enables the voltage sampling point (the protrusion) and the nickel sheet to form a stable and low-resistance electrical contact, thereby accurately collecting the voltage signal of the battery monomer.
[0140] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6, the first conductive member 530 further includes an extension 531 between the second clamping portion 510 and the sampling body 520. The extension 531 extends along the second direction Y, and the extension 531 protrudes from the edge of the sampling body 520. Figure 7
[0141] It can be understood that the extension part 531 can provide installation space for the first matching part 720, and at the same time, the second clamping part 510 can slightly protrude from the sampling body 520, avoiding the problem of assembly interference between the sampling body 520 and the bus assembly due to too close distance.
[0142] In the embodiment, by arranging the first conductive part on the edge of the sampling body and arranging the first matching part and the second clamping part on the first conductive part, the positioning error between the second clamping part and the cover can be further reduced, thereby reducing the positioning error between the first clamping part and the second clamping part and improving the clamping accuracy. In addition, the electrical connection between the sampling assembly and the bus assembly can be directly realized through the clamping of the first clamping part and the second clamping part.
[0143] According to some embodiments of the present application, as Figure 7 shown, the part of the sampling body 520 around the first conductive part 530 is provided with a first hollow part 521 penetrating the sampling body 520.
[0144] It can be understood that the sampling body 520 can be generally in a sheet structure, and the first hollow part 521 can be arranged around the connection between the first conductive part 530 and the sampling body 520. The first hollow part can penetrate the sampling body in the direction perpendicular to the sampling body 520, i.e., the third direction Z, so that the two sides of the sampling body can be communicated through the first hollow part. The first hollow part 521 can include an opening or a hole arranged on the sampling body 520, for example, it can be a long strip opening in Figure 7 , and holes can be arranged at both ends of the opening. Of course, the first hollow part 521 can also have other shapes.
[0145] It can be understood that the first hollow part 521 can extend along the maximum expansion direction of the battery monomer. The maximum expansion direction of the battery monomer can be the direction in which the battery monomer is most likely to expand and deform, for example, for the square battery monomer in Figure 3 , the maximum expansion direction is the first direction X direction, i.e., the width direction of the battery monomer, and when the battery monomers are arranged and installed in the box, the maximum expansion direction can also be the first direction X in Figure 2 .
[0146] The first hollow part 521 can form an opening and a hole on the sampling body 520, thereby reducing the rigidity of the part and improving the deformation ability. When the battery monomer expands, the first hollow part 521 can deform to adapt to avoid pulling the sampling body and causing damage to the sampling body.
[0147] Please refer to Figure 8In some embodiments, the first cutout portion 521 may not be provided on the sampling body 520. In this case, there is no need to reserve additional space for the first cutout portion 521 on the sampling body 520, thereby reducing the width of the sampling body 520 along the second direction Y, increasing the panelization rate of the FPC substrate, and providing sufficient space for the design of the busbar assembly.
[0148] It is understood that when the first hollow part 521 is not provided, the solution provided in this embodiment can be used for battery cells with insignificant expansion, or the expansion deformation can be released by the engagement shape between the first engagement part and the second engagement part, which will be explained in detail in the following embodiments.
[0149] like Figure 11 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, the card slot 511 includes a first segment 5111 and a second segment 5112 connected sequentially along the depth direction of the card slot 511, with the bottom of the card slot 511 located in the second segment 5112; taking the cross section perpendicular to the depth direction of the card slot 511 as the cross section, the first segment 5111 is used to clamp the protrusion 411, the cross-sectional area of the second segment 5112 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the first segment 5111, and the cross-sectional area of the second segment 5112 gradually increases from the end closer to the first segment 5111 to the end away from the first segment 5111.
[0150] In this embodiment, the depth direction of the card slot 511 can be Figure 11 The depth gradually increases from bottom to top, and the first segment 5111 can be located at the lower end of the second segment 5112.
[0151] When engaged, the cross-sectional area of the first segment 5111 is the same as that of the protrusion 411. The first segment 5111 can fit against the protrusion 411 to lock the protrusion. The cross-sectional area of the second segment 5112 can be larger than that of the protrusion 411, so that there is a certain space between the sidewall of the protrusion 411 and the sidewall of the second segment 5112.
[0152] In addition, the cross-sectional area of the second segment 5112 can be along... Figure 11 The surface decreases from top to bottom, forming a roughly converging trapezoidal shape. This allows the second segment 5112 to exert a force on the first segment 5111 to converge when the segments are engaged, thus enabling the first segment to lock the protrusion and achieve a stable and reliable connection.
[0153] In some embodiments, the end of the first segment away from the second segment may have a guide segment. The cross-sectional area of the guide segment increases from the end closer to the first segment to the end farther away from the first segment, thereby playing a guiding role and facilitating the protrusion 411 to enter the slot, thus improving the situation where the protrusion and the slot cannot be engaged due to errors.
[0154] The first section can realize the close connection of the protrusion and the clamping groove, and the second section can apply pressure to the first section, thereby improving the reliability of the clamping.
[0155] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 4 The inner side of the cover 22 is provided with a first accommodating groove 23, and the first accommodating groove 23 is used to accommodate at least part of the clamping groove 511.
[0156] The cover 22 can have a generally planar inner surface, and the position corresponding to the clamping groove 511 can be provided with the first accommodating groove 23. The depth of the first accommodating groove 23 can be set according to the depth dimension of the clamping groove 511.
[0157] It can be understood that the cover 22 can be provided with one or more first accommodating grooves 23. When a plurality of first accommodating grooves 23 are provided, each first accommodating groove 23 can accommodate one or more clamping grooves 511. Alternatively, one first accommodating groove 23 can be provided, and all the clamping grooves 511 can be accommodated in the first accommodating groove 23.
[0158] Figure 4 In some embodiments, one first accommodating groove 23 can be provided on each side of the sampling assembly 500, and the first accommodating groove 23 can extend in the first direction, so that the plurality of clamping grooves 511 on each side of the sampling assembly 500 can be clamped in one first accommodating groove 23.
[0159] The embodiment sets the first accommodating groove 23 on the inner side of the cover 22, so that at least part of the clamping groove 511 protruding from the sampling body can be located in the first accommodating groove 23, thereby effectively improving the space utilization of the battery device and improving the energy density thereof.
[0160] According to some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 9 The busbar assembly 400 includes an insulating portion 420 and a conductive portion 430 connected to the insulating portion 420. The conductive portion 430 is electrically connected to a plurality of battery monomers 11, and the first clamping portion 410 is arranged at the edge of the conductive portion 430.
[0161] The busbar assembly 400 can include an insulating portion 420 and a conductive portion 430. The insulating portion can be made of insulating materials such as plastic and rubber, and the conductive portion 430 can be made of conductive materials such as copper, aluminum or alloy.
[0162] As shown in Figure 9 The conductive portion 430 can include a plurality of sheet structures, which can be used to connect the electrode terminals 15 of adjacent two battery monomers, for example, can be welded to the electrode terminals 15, thereby realizing the series and parallel connection of the battery monomers.
[0163] The insulating portion 420 can be used to cover or carry the conductive portion 430. It can be understood that part (key connection point) of the conductive portion 430 can be exposed to the insulating portion 420, so as to facilitate welding of the conductive portion 430 with the battery monomer 11. In addition, the second matching portion 740 can be arranged on the insulating portion 420, so as to facilitate connection with the box body 21.
[0164] The first clamping portion 410 can be arranged on the conductive portion 430, for example, can be bent by the edge of the conductive portion 430, so as to realize the electrical connection between the sampling assembly and the conductive portion 430 while realizing the clamping connection.
[0165] In the embodiment, by arranging the conductive portion and the insulating portion, the current collection function of the current collection assembly can be realized, and meanwhile, the connection with the box body and the cover body is facilitated, which is helpful to realize the installation and positioning. The first clamping portion is arranged on the conductive portion, so as to realize the electrical connection between the sampling assembly and the conductive portion while realizing the clamping connection, and the structure is simple.
[0166] According to some embodiments of the present application, the insulating portion 420 and the conductive portion 430 are processed into an integral piece through an integral molding process, or the insulating portion 420 is an insulating film for mounting the conductive portion 430.
[0167] In the embodiment, the connection mode between the insulating portion 420 and the conductive portion 430 can be various, for example, the insulating portion 420 and the conductive portion 430 can be processed through an integral molding mode of different materials, for example, 3D printing or double-color injection molding, which has the advantages of high efficiency and high reliability. Taking injection molding as an example, the specific operation can be that the conductive portion which is accurately bent and formed in advance is accurately prearranged in a specially designed injection molding cavity, high-pressure injection engineering plastics (such as PPA (Polyphthalamide), PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate), and other materials with excellent electrical insulation, high-temperature resistance and mechanical strength) is used to cover the conductive portion (the necessary connection points need to be reserved for windowing), and a rigid assembly with strong structure, high integration, excellent electrical insulation and mechanical protection performance is formed. It can be understood that the rigidity and high dimensional stability of the integral molding can reduce the error of subsequent assembly, greatly improve the rigidity and shock resistance of the assembly, and simplify the general assembly steps of the battery device.
[0168] For example, the insulating part 420 can be an insulating film, and the conductive part 430 can be installed in the insulating film to form a busbar assembly 400. Specifically, the conductive part can be pre-fixed onto a flexible or rigid insulating film (such as a PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) film or an engineering plastic sheet) to form a busbar assembly. During the final assembly of the battery device, this busbar assembly with the insulating film is placed on top of the already installed battery cells for automated handling.
[0169] In addition, regardless of which of the above methods is used to process the busbar assembly, after it is placed on top of the battery cell, the conductive part with the pre-reserved opening on the busbar assembly can be welded to the electrode terminal of the battery cell using high-precision laser welding and other technologies. This allows the busbar assembly to be pre-precisely welded and fixed on the designated sampling point of the corresponding battery cell or battery module.
[0170] Both of the above methods can achieve the processing and shaping of the busbar component, and can be connected to the sampling component through snap-fit connection, and the processing method is simple and reliable.
[0171] Based on some embodiments of this application, continue to refer to Figure 9 The conductive part 430 includes a plurality of second conductive elements 431, which are welded to the electrode terminals 15 of the battery cell 11, and the insulating part 420 located between two adjacent second conductive elements 431 is provided with a second hollow part 421 that penetrates the insulating part 420.
[0172] The second conductive element 431 can be made of a conductive material, such as aluminum or copper, and can be a sheet structure. The second conductive element 431 can be welded to the electrode terminals 15 of two adjacent battery cells 11 to realize the connection between the battery cells.
[0173] Furthermore, a second hollow portion 421 may be provided on the insulating portion 420 between adjacent second conductive elements 431. The second hollow portion can penetrate the insulating portion in a direction perpendicular to the insulating portion, i.e., a third direction Z, so that the two sides of the insulating portion 420 can be connected through the second hollow portion. The second hollow portion 421 may contain a notch or a hole. For example, it may be a long strip-shaped notch similar to the first hollow portion, with holes provided at both ends of the notch. Of course, the second hollow portion 421 may also have other shapes. It can be understood that the second hollow portion 421 can extend along the maximum expansion direction of the battery cell.
[0174] in addition, Figure 9 The diagram shows four columns of second conductive elements 431 arranged along the first direction. The distance between two adjacent second conductive elements 431 can refer to the distance between two adjacent second conductive elements in each row, or it can refer to the two adjacent second conductive elements in the middle rows along the second direction Y.
[0175] The second hollowed part 421 can form an opening and a hole on the insulating part, so as to reduce the rigidity of the part and improve the deformation ability. When the battery monomer expands, the second hollowed part 421 can deform to adapt to avoid pulling the busbar assembly and causing damage to the busbar assembly.
[0176] According to some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 The surface of the insulating part 420 towards the cover 22 is provided with a second accommodating groove 422 for accommodating at least part of the sampling assembly 500.
[0177] According to the above analysis, the busbar assembly 400 can be roughly a planar plate structure, and the conductive part 430 can be arranged at a position corresponding to the electrode terminal. Since there is a certain distance between the two electrode terminals of each battery monomer, the second accommodating groove 422 can be arranged on the insulating part 420 at a position corresponding to the space between the two electrode terminals, thereby providing space for the installation of the sampling assembly 500.
[0178] For example, Figure 2 two groups of battery monomers 11 arranged along the first direction X are shown in Figure 9 , four rows of electrode terminals can be formed, and four rows of second conductive parts (such as ) can be arranged correspondingly. Two sampling assemblies 500 can be arranged for the two groups of battery monomers 11, and each sampling assembly 500 can be arranged correspondingly between two rows of electrode terminals of the same group of battery monomers.
[0179] It can be understood that the second accommodating groove 422 can be arranged at a position corresponding to the sampling assembly 500 on the insulating part 420, and the first clamping part 410 can be arranged at an edge position of the second accommodating groove 422. After the cover 22 is installed on the box 21, at least part of the sampling assembly 500 in the third direction can be accommodated in the second accommodating groove 422, and the second clamping part at the edge of the sampling assembly 500 can be clamped with the first clamping part at the edge of the first accommodating groove 23. The space of the box is reasonably utilized, thereby further reducing the volume of the battery device and improving the energy density.
[0180] The present embodiment can provide installation space for the sampling assembly by arranging the second accommodating groove on the insulating part, thereby further compressing the volume of the battery device and improving the energy density. At the same time, the thickness of the insulating part can be reduced, and the weight of the insulating part can be reduced while insulating, and the energy density can be improved.

[0184] The support 550 can also be provided with a first matching part 720, so as to be positioned and connected with the first connecting part 710 on the cover, for example, fixed to the cover by a first fastener, so that the temperature sensor 540 can be accurately installed.
[0185] It can be understood that the temperature sensor 540 can detect the temperature of the temperature measurement point of the battery cell, and it can be understood that the temperature measurement point can be the surface of the battery cell, or other temperature detection points. In order to enable the temperature sensor to directly or indirectly thermally transfer with the temperature measurement point, the insulating part 420 can be provided with a temperature measurement opening 440, which can penetrate the busbar assembly 400 along the third direction Z, and the temperature sensor can be correspondingly arranged with the temperature measurement opening 440. When the cover is connected to the box by covering, the temperature sensor can directly contact or indirectly thermally transfer with the temperature measurement point through the temperature measurement opening.
[0186] The temperature measurement opening 440 can be a reserved window on the busbar assembly, and when the cover is covered, the temperature sensing surface (detection surface) of the temperature sensor 540 can directly abut against the temperature measurement point on the surface of the battery cell or the pre-set temperature measurement point in the box. In addition, a heat-conducting pad can also be provided on the temperature sensing surface, so that the temperature sensing can quickly respond and have high accuracy. The heat-conducting pad can be heat-conducting silicone or the like, which can be bonded between the temperature measurement point and the temperature sensing surface to achieve rapid heat conduction.
[0187] In the present embodiment, the support can enable the temperature sensor to be accurately installed and have moderate pressure, which is conducive to the accuracy of temperature measurement, and the temperature measurement opening can enable the temperature sensor to thermally transfer with the temperature measurement point, which is convenient for detecting the temperature of the battery cell.
