[0047] This embodiment provides a battery cell that can improve the structural strength of the cover plate, thereby reducing the probability of cover plate deformation.
[0048] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the battery cell includes a housing 100, an electrode assembly 200, and a cover plate assembly 300. The housing 100 has a communicating cavity 110 and an opening 120. The electrode assembly 200 is disposed within the cavity 110. The cover plate assembly 300 includes a cover plate 310, which covers the opening 120. The cover plate 310 includes a first plate 311 and two second plates 312. The first plate 311 has a first protrusion 3111 and two second protrusions 3112 on the side facing away from the housing 100. 112 are located on opposite sides of the first protrusion 3111 and are spaced apart from the first protrusion 3111. Along the direction in which the two second protrusions 3112 point towards each other, the two second plates 312 are respectively connected to opposite sides of the first plate 311. Along the direction from the housing 100 to the cover plate 310, the two second plates 312 are inclined in the direction of approaching each other. The two second protrusions 3112 extend in the direction of opposing each other and are respectively connected to the side of the corresponding second plate 312 away from the housing 100.
[0049] First, two second plates 312 are respectively connected to opposite sides of the first plate 311 and are inclined in the direction from the housing 100 to the cover plate 310. This forms a structure in which the first plate 311 protrudes from the two second plates 312 in the direction from the housing 100 to the cover plate 310. Compared with a flat cover plate 310, the structure of the first plate 311 protruding from the two second plates 312 can improve the structural strength of the cover plate 310 and thus reduce the probability of deformation of the cover plate 310.
[0050] Secondly, the first plate 311 has a first protrusion 3111 and two second protrusions 3112 on the side opposite to the shell 100, and the two second protrusions 3112 are spaced apart from the first protrusion 3111. Thus, three independent reinforcing structures are formed on the first plate 311, which can improve the structural strength of the first plate 311 and thus help reduce the probability of deformation of the first plate 311.
[0051] Furthermore, the two second protrusions 3112 extend in opposite directions and are respectively connected to the side of the corresponding second plate 312 away from the housing 100. This makes the second protrusions 3112 and the second plate 312 mutually support each other, thereby further improving the structural strength of the cover plate 310 and reducing the probability of deformation of the cover plate 310.
[0052] Optionally, the cover plate assembly 300 further includes a first conductive plate 320, which includes a first conductive portion 321 and two second conductive portions 322. The first conductive portion 321 is insulated from the side of the first plate body 311 facing away from the housing 100. The two second conductive portions 322 correspond one-to-one with the two second plates 312, and each second conductive portion 322 is insulated from the side of the corresponding second plate body 312 facing away from the housing 100. Both second conductive portions 322 are connected to the first conductive portion 321. The first conductive portion 321 and the two second conductive portions 322 are both used to connect to the busbar. In the prior art, the cover plate assembly 300 is provided with a riveting block for connecting to the busbar (not shown in the figure). However, the connection area between the riveting block and the busbar is limited, which restricts the flow rate between the cover plate assembly 300 and the busbar. In this embodiment, the first conductive part 321 and two second conductive parts 322 of the first conductive plate 320 are connected to the busbar, which greatly expands the connection area between the cover plate assembly 300 and the busbar, thereby expanding the current-passing area between the cover plate assembly 300 and the busbar, which is beneficial to meeting the high-rate fast charging requirements of the battery cell.
[0053] Furthermore, the first conductive part 321 is provided with a first clearance hole 3211 and two second clearance holes 3212. In the direction in which the two second conductive parts 322 point towards each other, the two second clearance holes 3212 are respectively located on opposite sides of the first clearance hole 3211. The two second clearance holes 3212 are spaced apart from the first clearance hole 3211. The two second clearance holes 3212 extend in opposite directions to a corresponding second conductive part 322. The first conductive plate 320 is approximately U-shaped. The first protrusion 3111 passes through the first clearance hole 3211. The two second protrusions 3112 correspond one-to-one with the two second clearance holes 3212. Each second protrusion 3112 passes through a corresponding second clearance hole 3212. In the direction from the housing 100 to the cover plate 310, both the first protrusion 3111 and the second protrusion 3112 protrude from the first conductive plate 320. This ensures that both the first protrusion 3111 and the second protrusion 3112 protect the first conductive plate 320, reducing the chance of the first conductive plate 320 being bumped or knocked during the manufacturing process.
[0054] In another embodiment, the first protrusion 3111 protrudes from the first conductive plate 320 in a direction of the cover plate 310 along the shell 100. In yet another embodiment, the second protrusion 3112 protrudes from the first conductive plate 320 in a direction of the cover plate 310 along the shell 100.
[0055] Further, the first protrusion 3111 and the second protrusion 3112 are both configured to protrude from the busbar in a direction of the cover plate 310 along the shell 100, so that the first conductive plate 320 protects the busbar and reduces the probability of the busbar being bumped.
[0056] Optionally, as shown in FIG. 1, the pole group 200 is provided with a tab 210 on a side facing the cover plate 310, and the cover plate assembly 300 further includes a pole structure 330, which includes a second conductive plate 331 and a column 332. The second conductive plate 331 is insulated and covers a side of the first plate body 311 facing the shell 100 and is connected to the tab 210. The column 332 is arranged through the first plate body 311, and two ends of the column 332 are connected to the first conductive plate 320 and the second conductive plate 331, respectively. Figures 1 to 6 In the prior art, the pole structure includes a pole body and a base, one side of the base is connected to the pole body, and the other side is connected to the tab 210. However, the cross-sectional area of the base in this structure is limited, which reduces the connectable area of the pole structure 330 and the tab 210, and further limits the overcurrent capacity between the cover plate assembly 300 and the tab 210. In the present embodiment, the second conductive plate 331 insulated and covering the side of the first plate body 311 facing the shell 100 is connected to the tab 210. It can be seen that this structure enlarges the cross-sectional area of the component (i.e., the second conductive plate 331) connected to the tab 210, and further enlarges the connectable area of the pole structure 330 and the tab 210, which is conducive to improving the overcurrent capacity between the cover plate assembly 300 and the tab 210, and further meeting the high-rate fast charging requirements of the battery cell.
[0057] Further, the column 332 and the second conductive plate 331 are in a split structure. In actual production, the column 332 and the second conductive plate 331 can be produced separately, and then connected through welding or other common processes in the field, which not only enables the column 332 and the second conductive plate 331 in the pole structure 330 to be produced separately, but also simplifies the connection process of the column 332 and the second conductive plate 331. It can be seen that this structure is conducive to improving the production efficiency and reducing the production difficulty of the pole structure 330, and further achieving the effects of reducing production cost and improving production yield.
[0058] Optionally, the number of the column 332 is multiple, for example, the number of the column 332 is two, three, four or more, by increasing the number of the column 332 to increase the overcurrent between the first conductive plate 320 and the second conductive plate 331, thereby improving the overcurrent capacity of the cover plate assembly 300.
[0059] Further, the column 332 is a cylindrical or elliptical cylindrical shape, to expand the connection area between the first conductive plate 320 and the second conductive plate 331 and the column 332, thereby facilitating the increase of the overcurrent between the first conductive plate 320 and the column 332 and the overcurrent between the second conductive plate 331 and the column 332.
[0060] It should be noted that the length and width of the cover plate 310 are usually different, if the width of the cover plate 310 is small, the elliptical cylindrical column 332 is suitable, specifically, the short axis of the elliptical cylindrical column 332 is parallel to the width direction of the cover plate 310, and the long axis of the elliptical cylindrical column 332 is parallel to the length direction of the cover plate 310, thereby under the premise that the width of the cover plate 310 is limited, by increasing the size of the column 332 in the length direction of the cover plate 310 to increase the connection area between the column 332 and the first conductive plate 320 and the second conductive plate 331, thereby increasing the overcurrent between the first conductive plate 320 and the column 332 and the overcurrent between the second conductive plate 331 and the column 332. The length direction of the cover plate 310 refers to the width direction of the battery cell, and the width direction of the cover plate 310 refers to the thickness direction of the battery cell.
[0061] Optionally, the width direction of the battery cell is the first direction D1, the direction in which the two second plate bodies 312 point to each other is the first direction D1, the thickness direction of the battery cell is the second direction D2, and the first plate body 311 is provided with two through holes 3113. The first protruding part 3111 includes a thickness-reduced area 3111a and two non-thickness-reduced areas 3111b. In the first direction D1, the two ends of the thickness-reduced area 3111a are connected to the two non-thickness-reduced areas 3111b, respectively. In the second direction D2, the size of the thickness-reduced area 3111a is smaller than that of the non-thickness-reduced area 3111b. The through holes 3113 are located between the two non-thickness-reduced areas 3111b, and the two through holes 3113 are respectively located on the two sides of the thickness-reduced area 3111a in the second direction D2. The battery cell further includes cooling pipes 400, the cooling pipes 400 are insulated and arranged in the pole group 200, a cooling medium (not shown in the figure) flows in the cooling pipes 400, the number of the cooling pipes 400 is two, and the two cooling pipes 400 correspond to the two through holes 3113 one by one, and each cooling pipe 400 is arranged in a corresponding through hole 3113. When the battery cell is charging and discharging, the temperature inside the pole group 200 is obviously higher than the temperature at the edge of the pole group 200. In the prior art, a common cooling method is to paste a cooling plate on the side wall of the shell 100, that is, the cooling plate absorbs the heat of the pole group 200 inside the shell 100 outside the shell 100. However, due to the long distance between the cooling plate and the middle part of the pole group 200, the cooling effect of the structure on the middle part of the pole group 200 is not ideal. At present, most of the reasons for the thermal runaway of the battery cell are also caused by the excessive temperature of the middle part of the pole group 200. In the embodiment, the two cooling pipes 400 are insulated and arranged in the pole group 200 to cool the pole group 200 inside the pole group 200. The distance between the cooling pipe 400 and the pole group 200 is shortened, and the cooling pipe 400 can directly cool the middle part of the pole group 200, which greatly improves the cooling effect of the pole group 200, especially the cooling effect of the middle part of the pole group 200, which is beneficial to reduce the risk of thermal runaway of the battery cell. On the other hand, the through holes 3113 are located between the two non-thickness-reduced areas 3111b, and the two through holes 3113 are respectively located on the two sides of the thickness-reduced area 3111a in the second direction D2. Each cooling pipe 400 is arranged in a corresponding through hole 3113. Without affecting the structural strength of the cover plate 310, the structure can reduce the size of the cover plate assembly 300 in the second direction D2, so that the overall structure of the cover plate assembly 300 is more compact, which is beneficial to improve the volume density of the battery cell.
[0062] Further, the cooling medium flowing in the cooling pipe 400 is cooling water, refrigerant or cooling gas, etc., which is not limited here.
[0063] Optionally, as Figures 1 to 7As shown, the shell 100 includes two first side walls 131 and two second side walls 132, the two first side walls 131 are oppositely arranged along the second direction D2, and the two second side walls 132 are oppositely arranged along the first direction D1, the first side wall 131 and the second side wall 132 are sequentially connected in a head-to-tail manner to form the cavity 110, the first side wall 131 includes a wall body 1311 and two folded portions 1312, along the first direction D1, the two sides of the wall body 1311 are connected to the two second side walls 132 through the two folded portions 1312 respectively, one of the two first side walls 131 is inclined in a direction away from the other, and the two folded portions 1312 of the first side wall 131 are inclined in a direction close to each other. The pole group 200 includes a pole group body 220, two first capacity increasing portions 230 and two second capacity increasing portions 240, the two first capacity increasing portions 230 are respectively protruded on both sides of the pole group body 220 in the first direction D1, and the two second capacity increasing portions 240 are respectively protruded on both sides of the pole group body 220 in the second direction D2. The structure design that the first side wall 131 is provided with the two folded portions 1312 expands the internal space of the shell 100, specifically, the volume of the cavity 110 is increased in both the first direction D1 and the second direction D2, and then the pole group body 220 can be provided with the first capacity increasing portion 230 on both sides in the first direction D1, and the second capacity increasing portion 240 on both sides in the second direction D2. It can be seen that the structure design expands the volume of the pole group 200, and then the capacity of the pole group 200 can be increased, which is beneficial to realize the high rate fast charging demand of the battery cell.
[0064] Optionally, the cover plate 310 further includes a convex eave 313 connected to the side of the cover plate 310 facing the shell 100, the convex eave 313 extends along the circumference of the cover plate 310 and is connected in a head-to-tail manner. The shape of the convex eave 313 is matched with the shape of the opening 120 of the shell 100, so as to facilitate the cover plate 310 to be arranged at the opening 120 of the shell 100 and reduce the assembly difficulty of the cover plate 310 and the shell 100.
[0065] Optionally, as shown, Figures 1 to 9 Since the two second plate bodies 312 are respectively connected to the opposite sides of the first plate body 311 and are inclined in a direction close to each other along the direction of the shell 100 pointing to the cover plate 310, the cover plate 310 forms a capacity increasing space 314 on the side facing the shell 100, the pole group body 220 is provided with a third capacity increasing portion on the side facing the cover plate 310, and the third capacity increasing portion 250 penetrates through the opening 120 of the shell 100 and is located in the capacity increasing space 314. This structure not only makes full use of the space on the side of the cover plate 310 facing the shell 100, but also increases the volume of the pole group 200, thereby improving the space energy density of the battery cell, and increasing the capacity of the pole group 200, which is beneficial to meet the high rate fast charging demand of the battery cell.
[0066] Further, the first protruding part 3111 is provided with a first capacity-increasing groove 3111c on the side facing the pole group 200, each second protruding part 3112 is provided with a second capacity-increasing groove 3112a on the side facing the pole group 200, the second conductive plate 331 is provided with a third avoiding hole 3311 and two avoiding notches 3312, the third avoiding hole 3311 is opposite to the slot of the first capacity-increasing groove 3111c and communicates with the first capacity-increasing groove 3111c, and the two avoiding notches 3312 correspond to the two second capacity-increasing grooves 3112a respectively, each avoiding notch 3312 communicates with a corresponding second capacity-increasing groove 3112a. The third capacity-increasing part 250 is provided with a fourth capacity-increasing part 260 and two fifth capacity-increasing parts 270 on the side facing the cover plate 310, the fourth capacity-increasing part 260 is arranged in the third avoiding hole 3311 and located in the first capacity-increasing groove 3111c, and the two fifth capacity-increasing parts 270, the two second capacity-increasing grooves 3112a and the two avoiding notches 3312 correspond to each other respectively, each fifth capacity-increasing part 270 is arranged in a corresponding avoiding notch 3312 and located in a corresponding second capacity-increasing groove 3112a. Thus, the space of the cover plate 310 is further utilized, and the volume of the pole group 200 is further increased, so as to further improve the energy density of the battery cell and further increase the capacity of the pole group 200.
[0067] Further, the fourth capacity-increasing part 260 is insulatively arranged in the first capacity-increasing groove 3111c, and each fifth capacity-increasing part 270 is insulatively arranged in a corresponding second capacity-increasing groove 3112a.

[0068] Further, the length direction of the battery cell is a third direction D3, both ends of the shell 100 in the third direction D3 are provided with openings 120, the number of the cover plate assemblies 300 is two, and the two cover plate assemblies 300 correspond to the two openings 120 one by one, that is, one cover plate 310 is provided at each opening 120. Thus, in the third direction D3, the groove bottoms of the first capacity-increasing grooves 3111c of the two cover plates 310 can cooperate with each other to provide limiting support for the pole group 200, and the groove bottoms of the second capacity-increasing grooves 3112a of the two cover plates 310 can cooperate with each other to provide limiting support for the pole group 200. This structural design not only realizes the limiting support effect of the cover plate 310 on the pole group 200 in the third direction D3, but also is conducive to further reducing the probability of problems such as movement and displacement of the pole group 200 in the cavity 110, and the structure also makes the pole group body 220 be provided with a third capacity-increasing portion 250, a fourth capacity-increasing portion 260, and a fifth capacity-increasing portion 270 at both ends thereof in the third direction D3, thereby further increasing the volume of the pole group 200 and further increasing the capacity of the pole group 200.
[0069] Optionally, the cover plate assembly 300 further comprises a first insulating plate 410 and a second insulating plate 420, wherein the first insulating plate 410 is shaped according to the shape of the first conductive plate 320, and the first insulating plate 410 is clamped between the first conductive plate 320 and the cover plate 310 to realize insulation between the first insulating plate 410 and the cover plate 310, and the second insulating plate 420 is shaped according to the shape of the cover plate 310, and the second insulating plate 420 is clamped between the second conductive plate 331 and the cover plate 310 to realize insulation between the second conductive plate 331 and the cover plate 310.
[0070] Optionally, the tab 210 is located on the side of the third capacity-increasing portion 250 away from the pole group body 220, both sides of the fourth capacity-increasing portion 260 are provided with the tab 210 along the second direction D2, and the tab 210 extends along the first direction D1. Thus, the area of the tab 210 can be increased, the welding area of the tab 210 and the second conductive plate 331 is increased, and the current capacity of the tab 210 and the second conductive plate 331 is increased, which is conducive to meeting the high-rate fast charging demand of the battery cell.
[0071] Optionally, the pole group body 220 comprises two sub-pole group bodies 280, which are symmetrically arranged about the middle part of the cavity 110 in the first direction D1 and are connected by splicing, one of the two sub-pole group bodies 280 is provided with a groove on the side facing the other, and the grooves of the two sub-pole group bodies 280 are spliced to form a through hole, the number of the through holes is two, the two through holes correspond to the two cooling pipes 400 one by one, and each cooling pipe 400 is respectively arranged in a corresponding through hole. In actual assembly, the two sub-pole group bodies 280 are arranged on both sides of the cooling pipe 400 in the first direction D1 respectively, and then the two sub-pole group bodies 280 are moved in the direction of approaching each other until the two sub-pole group bodies 280 are connected by splicing to form the pole group body 220. Compared with arranging the pole group body 220 as a whole and arranging the cooling pipe 400 in the pole group body 220, the technical scheme provided in the embodiment can reduce the difficulty of assembling the pole group body 220 and the cooling pipe 400, and can also reduce the probability of damaging the pole group body 220 in the assembly process, which is beneficial to improve the production yield and production efficiency of the battery cell.
[0072] Optionally, as Figures 1 to 11As shown, along the direction in which the two second protrusions 3112 point away from each other, the distance between one of the two second protrusions 3112 and the side of the first protrusion 3111 facing the second protrusion 3112 is W1, and the distance between the two second protrusions 3112 pointing away from each other is L2, 0.06≤W1 / L2≤0.19, and exemplarily, W1 / L2 can be 0.06, 0.075, 0.08, 0.15, 0.165 or 0.19, etc., and preferably 0.075≤W1 / L2≤0.165. If W1 / L2<0.06, the distance between the first protrusion 3111 and the second protrusion 3112 is too small, which will result in too small volume of the area on the first conductive plate 320 between the first avoiding hole 3211 and the second avoiding hole 3212, and too small volume of the area on the second conductive plate 331 between the third avoiding hole 3311 and the missing gap, thereby reducing the structural strength and overcurrent capacity of the first conductive plate 320 and the second conductive plate 331. If W1 / L2>0.19, the distance between the first protrusion 3111 and the second protrusion 3112 is too large, which will result in too large volume of the area on the first conductive plate 320 between the first avoiding hole 3211 and the second avoiding hole 3212, and too large volume of the area on the second conductive plate 331 between the third avoiding hole 3311 and the missing gap, thereby increasing the weight of the first conductive plate 320 and the second conductive plate 331, which is not conducive to improving the weight energy density of the battery cell. Moreover, if the distance between the first protrusion 3111 and the second protrusion 3112 is too large, the size of the first capacity-increasing groove 3111c and the second capacity-increasing groove 3112a in the first direction D1 is too small, which will reduce the size of the fourth capacity-increasing portion 260 and the fifth capacity-increasing portion 270 in the first direction D1, reducing the capacity improvement range of the pole group 200, which is not conducive to meeting the high-rate fast charging demand of the battery cell.
[0073] Optionally, in the second direction D2, the size of the thickness-reduced region 3111a is W2, and the size of the non-thickness-reduced region 3111b is W3, 16mm≤W3-W2≤32mm, and exemplarily, W3-W2 can be 16mm, 18mm, 25mm, 30mm, or 32mm, etc., and preferably, 18mm≤W3-W2≤30mm. If W3-W2<16mm, the size of the thickness-reduced region 3111a in the second direction D2 is too large, which reduces the size of the through hole 3113 in the second direction D2, and further reduces the size of the cooling pipe 400 in the second direction D2, and further reduces the flow of the cooling medium in the cooling pipe 400, reduces the cooling effect of the pole group 200, and increases the risk of thermal runaway of the battery cell. If W3-W2>32mm, the size of the thickness-reduced region 3111a in the second direction D2 is too small, which reduces the structural strength of the thickness-reduced region 3111a, and further reduces the structural strength of the first protruding portion 3111, increases the risk of deformation of the cover plate 310, and if the size of the thickness-reduced region 3111a in the second direction D2 is too small, the size of the first capacity-increasing groove 3111c at the position of the thickness-reduced region 3111a in the second direction D2 is too small, and further, in the second direction D2, the size of the fourth capacity-increasing portion 260 corresponding to the thickness-reduced region 3111a is reduced, not only reducing the structural strength of the fourth capacity-increasing portion 260 at this position, but also reducing the capacity improvement amplitude of the pole group 200, reducing the support and limiting effect of the cover plate 310 on the pole group 200, and being not conducive to meeting the high-rate fast charging demand of the battery cell.
[0074] In the embodiment, the size of the second protruding portion 3112 in the second direction D2 is W3, and the size of the non-thickness-reduced region 3111b in the second direction D2 is W3, so as to improve the structural consistency of the cover plate 310, so as to facilitate reducing the production difficulty of the cover plate 310, and improving the production yield of the cover plate 310.
[0075] Optionally, in the first direction D1, the size of the wall body portion 1311 is L1, and the distance between the two second side walls 132 away from each other is A, 0.51≤L1 / A≤0.94, and exemplarily, L1 / A can be 0.51, 0.65, 0.7, 0.85, 0.9, or 0.94, etc., and preferably, 0.65≤L1 / A≤0.9. If L1 / A<0.51, the size of the wall body portion 1311 in the first direction D1 is too small, which reduces the size of the second capacity-increasing portion 240 in the first direction D1, and further reduces the capacity improvement amplitude of the pole group 200, which is not conducive to meeting the high-rate fast charging demand of the battery cell. If L1 / A>0.94, the size of the wall body portion 1311 in the first direction D1 is too large, which makes the included angle between the folded portion 1312 and the wall body portion 1311 too small, and further increases the manufacturing difficulty of the shell 100 and the cover plate 310, not only increases the production cost, but also reduces the production yield.
[0076] Optionally, the size of the second plate body 312 in the second direction D2 is B1, the size of the first plate body 311 in the second direction D2 is B2, 10mm≤B2-B1≤30mm, and exemplarily, B2-B1 can be 10mm, 15mm or 30mm, etc., that is, the size of the second side wall 132 in the second direction D2 is B1, the distance between the two wall body parts 1311 on the side away from each other in the second direction D2 is B2, if B2-B1<10mm, the size of the second side wall 132 in the second direction D2 is too large, which will increase the included angle between the folding part 1312 and the wall body part 1311, and further increase the production difficulty of the shell 100. If B2-B1 is greater than 30mm, the size of the second side wall 132 in the second direction D2 is too small, which will reduce the size of the first capacity-increasing part 230 in the second direction D2, and further reduce the improvement range of the volume and capacity of the pole group 200.
[0077] Optionally, 0.5≤W3 / B1≤0.8, and exemplarily, W3 / B1 can be 0.5, 0.6 or 0.8, etc., if W3 / B1<0.5, the size of the non-thickening area 3111b in the second direction D2 is too small, which further reduces the structural strength of the first protruding part 3111, and also reduces the size of the fourth capacity-increasing part 260 in the second direction D2, and reduces the improvement range of the volume and capacity of the pole group 200. If W3 / B1>0.8, the size of the non-thickening area 3111b in the second direction D2 is too large, which further reduces the size of the area on both sides of the first avoiding hole 3211 in the second direction D2 where the first conductive plate 320 is located, and the size of the area on both sides of the third avoiding hole 3311 in the second direction D2 where the second conductive plate 331 is located, which reduces the structural strength of the first conductive plate 320 and the second conductive plate 331, and also reduces the flow capacity of both.
[0078] Optionally, the thickness of the cover plate 310 is T1, 1.5mm≤T1≤3mm, and exemplarily, T1 can be 1.5mm, 2mm or 3mm, etc., so that the cover plate 310 has certain structural strength and at the same time maintains a lighter weight as much as possible.

[0080] Optionally, the included angle between the two second plates 312 is N, where 50° ≤ N ≤ 110°. For example, N can be 50°, 85°, or 110°, etc. If N < 50°, the size of the capacity expansion space 314 in the first direction D1 will be reduced, thereby reducing the size of the third capacity expansion part 250 in the first direction D1 and decreasing the increase in volume and capacity of the electrode assembly 200. If N > 110°, the structural strength of the cover plate 310 will be reduced, increasing the risk of deformation of the cover plate 310.
[0081] Optionally, such as Figures 1 to 12 As shown, on the third direction D3, the distance between the side of the first protrusion 3111 and the second protrusion 3112 opposite to the first plate 311 and the side of the first plate 311 opposite to the housing 100 is H1, 8.5mm≤H1≤40mm. For example, H1 can be 8.5mm, 20mm, or 40mm, etc., ensuring that the first protrusion 3111 and the second protrusion 3112 provide reliable protection for the first conductive plate 320 and the busbar, while reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the cover plate 310. The size of the cover plate assembly 300 on the third direction D3 is H2, 30mm≤H2≤80mm. For example, H2 can be 30mm, 55mm, or 80mm, etc.
