The diameter of the first groove segment is smaller than the diameter of the second groove segment.

[0024] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the adhesive layer enters the second groove from the first groove segment. The diameter of the first groove segment of the second groove is smaller than the diameter of the second groove segment, which reduces the risk of the adhesive layer falling off from the second groove segment and improves the bonding reliability between the adhesive layer and the exposed area.

The diameter of the first groove segment of the second groove is smaller than the diameter of the second groove segment, and the diameter of the first groove segment of the second groove is smaller than the diameter of the third groove segment. This reduces the risk of the adhesive layer falling off from the second groove segment.

[0036] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the depth of the first groove section meets the above conditions, which makes it easy to process while reducing the risk of the adhesive layer falling off from the second groove section and improving the bonding reliability between the adhesive layer and the exposed area.

[0037] In some embodiments, in the thickness direction of the first wall, the depth D4 of the second groove segment is greater than or equal to 0.1 mm and less than or equal to 0.4 mm.

[0038] The technical solution of this application embodiment has a second groove segment whose depth meets the above conditions.

[0040] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the depth of the third groove section meets the above conditions, which makes it easy to process while reducing the risk of the adhesive layer falling off from the exposed area and improving the bonding reliability between the adhesive layer and the exposed area.

[0041] In some embodiments, the housing further includes a second wall and a sidewall, wherein the second wall is disposed opposite to the first wall along the thickness direction of the first wall, and the sidewall surrounds the first wall and the second wall. The insulating member includes a first insulating member and a second insulating member disposed separately, wherein the first insulating member covers a portion of the outer surface of the first wall, and the second insulating member covers at least a portion of the outer surface of the second wall and at least a portion of the outer surface of the sidewall.

[0042] The technical solution of this application embodiment sets the insulator as a first insulating member and a second insulating member that are separately set. The first insulating member is a structure that covers the first wall, and the second insulating member is a structure that covers the side wall and the second wall. This makes the first insulating member and the second insulating member of the insulating member correspond to the first wall of the outer shell and the second wall and the side wall of the outer shell, respectively, thereby helping to reduce the assembly difficulty between the insulating member and the outer shell.

[0043] In some embodiments, the second insulating member has a flange portion, which is disposed circumferentially along the first wall and located on the outer surface of the first wall. The flange portion and the edge of the first insulating member together enclose a first hollow area.

[0044] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the second insulating member has a flange portion disposed circumferentially on the first wall and located at the edge of the first wall, such that the edge of the first insulating member disposed on the first wall and the flange portion together enclose a first hollow area to form an exposed area on the first wall. The battery cell with this structure does not require the first insulating member to be configured as a structure with through holes, which is beneficial to improving the overall structural strength of the first insulating member. On the other hand, it is beneficial to control the size and dimensions of the first hollow area.

[0045] In some embodiments, the battery cell further includes electrode terminals disposed on the first wall. The insulating member has a second hollow area, which is spaced apart from the first hollow area, and the electrode terminals pass through the second hollow area.

[0046] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the electrode terminal is disposed on the first wall, and the insulating member is provided with a second hollow area through which the power supply terminal passes at the position corresponding to the electrode terminal. By setting the second hollow area and the first hollow area apart, the exposed area formed by the first wall corresponding to the first hollow area can be set apart from the electrode terminal, so as to reduce the interference between the exposed area and the electrode terminal when it is connected to the external component.

[0047] In some embodiments, the housing includes a shell and an end cap. The shell includes a bottom wall and a plurality of side walls. The bottom wall and the end cap are disposed opposite each other along the thickness direction of the first wall. The plurality of side walls surround the bottom wall. One end of the plurality of side walls is connected to the bottom wall, and the other end forms an opening. The end cap closes the opening and is the first wall.

[0048] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the end cap is a first wall, which increases the friction between the end cap and the adhesive layer, reduces the risk of the adhesive layer falling off the end cap, improves the bonding reliability between the adhesive layer and the end cap, thereby improving the reliability of the end cap connecting to the housing and improving the reliability of the battery device.

[0049] Secondly, this application also provides a battery device. The battery device includes a housing, an adhesive layer, a connecting member, and battery cells according to any embodiment of the first aspect. The battery cells are disposed within the housing. The adhesive layer is disposed in the exposed area. The connecting member is disposed within the housing, and at least one side of the connecting member is connected to the adhesive layer in the thickness direction of the first wall to connect multiple battery cells.

[0050] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the adhesive layer is disposed in the exposed area, thereby connecting the battery cell and the connecting component, improving the reliability of the battery cell connection to the housing, and improving the reliability of the battery device.

[0051] In some embodiments, the exposed area is provided with a groove, and at least a portion of the adhesive layer is located in the groove.

[0052] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the adhesive layer is disposed in the groove, which reduces the risk of the adhesive layer falling off from the exposed area, improves the reliability of the battery cell connection to the housing, and improves the reliability of the battery device.

[0053] In some embodiments, the exposed area is provided with a protrusion that is fully embedded in the adhesive layer.

[0054] The technical solution of this application embodiment has a protrusion embedded in the adhesive layer, which reduces the risk of the adhesive layer falling off from the exposed area, improves the reliability of the battery cell connection to the housing, and improves the reliability of the battery device.

[0055] In some embodiments, the battery device further includes a connecting layer that connects the exposed area and the adhesive layer in the thickness direction of the first wall, and the connecting layer is made of a coupling agent.

[0056] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the coupling agent has the properties of affinity for adhesive layer and affinity for metal. The outer shell of the battery cell is metal, and the connecting layer is the coupling agent. The connecting layer connects the adhesive layer and the exposed area, reducing the risk of the adhesive layer falling off from the exposed area, improving the reliability of the battery cell connection to the housing, and improving the reliability of the battery device.

[0057] Thirdly, this application also provides an electrical device, including a battery cell of any embodiment of the first aspect or a battery device of any embodiment of the second aspect, wherein the battery cell or battery device is used to provide electrical energy to the electrical device.

[0077] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0078] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains; the terminology used in the description of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the application; the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the description, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.

[0079] In this application, the reference to "embodiment" means that a specific feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a mutually exclusive, independent, or alternative embodiment. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described in this application can be combined with other embodiments.

[0080] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "attachment" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0081] In this application, the term "and / or" is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, or B existing alone. Additionally, in this application, the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0082] In this application, "multiple" refers to two or more (including two), and similarly, "multiple groups" refers to two or more (including two), and "multiple pieces" refers to two or more (including two).

[0083] The battery apparatus mentioned in the embodiments of this application may include one or more battery cell assemblies for providing voltage and capacity. A battery cell assembly may include multiple battery cells, which are connected in series, parallel, or mixed connections via busbars.

[0084] In some embodiments, a battery cell assembly is typically formed by arranging multiple battery cells; as an example, a battery cell assembly can be a battery module, which is formed by arranging and fixing multiple battery cells together to form a single module. As an example, a battery module can be formed by bundling multiple battery cells together with cable ties.

[0085] In some embodiments, the battery device may be a battery pack, which includes a housing and one or more individual battery cells housed within the housing.

[0086] As an example, the battery cell assembly can be a battery module, which can be housed in a housing by fixing the battery module in the housing.

[0087] As an example, battery cell assemblies can also be housed in a housing by directly fixing multiple battery cells to the housing.

[0088] As an example, the enclosure may include a first enclosure and a second enclosure. The first enclosure and the second enclosure are fastened together to form a closed space inside the enclosure to house the individual battery cells. Here, "closed" refers to covering or closing, and can be either sealed or unsealed. The first enclosure may be a top cover or a bottom plate.

[0089] As an example, the enclosure may include a top cover, a frame, and a bottom plate. The top cover and bottom plate are connected to the frame, creating an enclosed space inside the enclosure to house the individual battery cells.

[0090] As an example, the housing can be part of the vehicle's chassis structure. For instance, the housing's roof can be at least part of the vehicle's floor, or the housing's frame can be at least part of the vehicle's crossbeams and longitudinal beams.

[0091] In some embodiments, the battery device refers to an energy storage device, which includes a housing with a door on at least one side. Energy storage devices include energy storage containers, energy storage cabinets, etc.

[0092] In this embodiment of the application, the battery cell can be a secondary battery, which refers to a battery cell that can be recharged to activate the active materials and continue to be used after the battery cell has been discharged.

[0093] The battery cell may be, but is not limited to, lithium-ion battery, sodium-ion battery, sodium-lithium-ion battery, lithium metal battery, sodium metal battery, lithium-sulfur battery, magnesium-ion battery, nickel-metal hydride battery, nickel-cadmium battery, lead-acid battery, etc.

[0094] As an example, the battery cell can be a pouch cell.

[0095] A single battery cell typically includes an electrode assembly. The electrode assembly includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator. During the charging and discharging process of a single battery cell, active ions (such as lithium ions) repeatedly insert and extract between the positive and negative electrodes. The separator, positioned between the positive and negative electrodes, prevents short circuits while allowing active ions to pass through.

[0096] In some embodiments, the positive electrode can be a positive electrode sheet, which may include a positive current collector and a positive active material disposed on at least one surface of the positive current collector.

[0097] As an example, the positive current collector has two surfaces opposite each other in its own thickness direction, and the positive active material is disposed on either or both of the two opposite surfaces of the positive current collector.

[0098] As an example, the positive electrode current collector can be a metal foil or a composite current collector. For example, as a metal foil, it can be aluminum with a silver-plated surface, stainless steel with a silver-plated surface, stainless steel, copper, aluminum, nickel, carbon electrode, carbon, nickel, or titanium, etc. Composite current collectors can include a polymer material base layer and a metal layer. Composite current collectors can be formed by forming a metal material (aluminum, aluminum alloy, nickel, nickel alloy, titanium, titanium alloy, silver and silver alloy, etc.) on a polymer material substrate (such as a substrate of polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polystyrene, polyethylene, etc.).

[0099] As an example, the positive electrode active material may include at least one of the following materials: lithium phosphate, lithium transition metal oxide, and their respective modified compounds. However, this application is not limited to these materials, and other conventional materials that can be used as positive electrode active materials for batteries may also be used.

[0100] In some embodiments, the negative electrode can be a negative electrode sheet, and the negative electrode sheet can include a negative current collector.

[0101] As an example, the negative electrode current collector can be a metal foil or a composite current collector. For example, as a metal foil, it can be aluminum with a silver-plated surface, stainless steel with a silver-plated surface, stainless steel, copper, aluminum, nickel, carbon electrode, or made of carbon, nickel, or titanium, etc.

[0102] In some embodiments, the negative electrode current collector has two surfaces opposite each other in its own thickness direction, and the negative electrode active material is disposed on either or both of the two opposite surfaces of the negative electrode current collector.

[0103] As an example, the negative electrode active material may be a negative electrode active material known in the art for use in batteries. As an example, the negative electrode active material may include at least one of the following materials: artificial graphite, natural graphite, soft carbon, hard carbon, silicon-based materials, tin-based materials, and lithium titanate, etc. Silicon-based materials may be selected from at least one of elemental silicon, silicon oxide compounds, silicon-carbon composites, silicon-nitrogen composites, and silicon alloys. Tin-based materials may be selected from at least one of elemental tin, tin oxide compounds, and tin alloys. However, this application is not limited to these materials, and other conventional materials that can be used as negative electrode active materials for batteries may also be used. These negative electrode active materials may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0104] In some embodiments, the separator is a diaphragm. This application does not impose any particular limitation on the type of diaphragm; any known porous diaphragm with good chemical and mechanical stability can be selected.

[0105] As an example, the main material of the separator can be selected from at least one of glass fiber, non-woven fabric, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinylidene fluoride, and ceramic. The separator can be a single-layer film or a multi-layer composite film, without particular limitation. When the separator is a multi-layer composite film, the materials of each layer can be the same or different, without particular limitation. The separator can be a separate component located between the positive and negative electrodes, or it can be attached to the surfaces of the positive and negative electrodes.

[0106] In some embodiments, the separator is a solid electrolyte. The solid electrolyte is disposed between the positive and negative electrodes, serving both to transport ions and to isolate the positive and negative electrodes.

[0107] Currently, judging from market trends, battery devices are widely used in electric vehicles such as electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, and electric cars, as well as in power tools, drones, energy storage equipment, and many other fields. As the application areas for batteries continue to expand, the market demand is also constantly increasing.

[0108] The development of battery technology must take into account multiple design factors, such as energy density, cycle life, discharge capacity, charge-discharge rate and other performance parameters. In addition, the reliability of battery devices is also a key consideration as environmental and / or internal battery conditions change.

[0109] Currently, battery cell assemblies are housed in a housing by directly fixing multiple battery cells to the housing. The fixing methods include directly gluing the battery cells to the housing or gluing the battery cells to connecting components (such as pressure strips) and then connecting them to the housing through the connecting components.

[0110] However, when the battery device is subjected to external impact or after a period of time, there is a risk that the adhesive layer used to bond with the battery cells may detach from the battery cells, thereby affecting the reliability of the connection between the battery cells and the housing. There is a risk that the connection between the battery cells and the housing may fail, resulting in damage to the battery cells and affecting the reliability of the battery device.

[0111] Based on the above considerations, in order to solve the problem of poor reliability of the battery device caused by the adhesion layer detaching from the battery cell, resulting in the failure of the connection between the battery cell and the casing, this application provides a battery cell. The battery cell includes a shell and an insulating component. The shell has a first wall. The insulating component covers the outer side of the shell and covers the outer surface of the first wall. The insulating component is provided with a first hollow area, which is located on the side of the first wall opposite to the electrode assembly. The outer surface of the first wall forms an exposed area at the position corresponding to the first hollow area, and the exposed area is provided with grooves and / or protrusions.

[0112] By setting grooves and / or protrusions in the exposed area, the friction between the exposed area and the adhesive layer is increased, reducing the risk of the adhesive layer falling off from the exposed area, improving the bonding reliability between the adhesive layer and the exposed area, thereby improving the reliability of the battery cell connection to the housing and the reliability of the battery device.

[0113] The technical solutions described in the embodiments of this application are applicable to various electrical devices that use battery cells and battery devices, such as mobile phones, portable devices, laptops, electric vehicles, electric toys, power tools, vehicles, ships and spacecraft, etc. For example, spacecraft include airplanes, rockets, space shuttles and spacecraft.

[0131] In some embodiments, the first wall 11 forms an exposed area 111 at the position corresponding to the first hollow area 31, that is, the insulating member 30 is provided with the first hollow area 31, so that the first wall 11 of the outer shell 10 has an area that is avoided by the first hollow area 31, thereby forming an exposed area 111 on the first wall 11 that is not covered by the insulating member 30.

[0132] In some embodiments, the first cutout area 31 disposed on the insulating member 30 may be one or more.

[0133] In some embodiments, the insulating member 30 may be provided with two first hollow areas 31, which are spaced apart to form two corresponding exposed areas 111 on the first wall 11, thereby increasing the connection strength between the first wall 11 and the connecting member 130.

[0134] In some embodiments, the first hollow area 31 can be rectangular, and correspondingly, the exposed area 111 formed on the first wall 11 is also rectangular.

[0135] In some embodiments, the first cutout area 31 may also be a triangle, pentagon, circle, or ellipse, etc.

[0136] In some embodiments, the exposed area 111 is used to connect with the connecting member 130, and the connection between the exposed area 111 and the connecting member 130 can be by adhesive bonding.

[0137] Please refer to Figure 5, which is a cross-sectional view of the first wall provided in some embodiments of this application. In some embodiments, the exposed area 111 may be provided with a groove 1111. The groove 1111 may be machined.

[0140] In some embodiments, when an adhesive layer 120 is provided in the exposed area 111, the adhesive layer 120 will adhere to the groove wall surface of the groove 1111, thereby increasing the contact area between the adhesive layer 120 and the exposed area 111.

[0141] In some embodiments, when an adhesive layer 120 is provided in the exposed area 111, the adhesive layer 120 will adhere to the wall surface of the protrusion 1112, thereby increasing the contact area between the adhesive layer 120 and the exposed area 111.

[0142] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the battery cell 1 is connected to the housing 110 through the adhesive layer 120 to form the battery device 100. By providing grooves 1111 and / or protrusions 1112 in the exposed area 111, the friction between the exposed area 111 and the adhesive layer 120 is increased, the risk of the adhesive layer 120 falling off from the exposed area 111 is reduced, and the bonding reliability between the adhesive layer 120 and the exposed area 111 is improved, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the battery cell 1 and the housing 110 and improving the reliability of the battery device 100.

[0174] Please refer to Figure 10, which is a schematic diagram of a second groove provided in some embodiments of this application. In some embodiments, the groove 1111 includes a second groove 1114, and the second groove 1114 includes a first groove segment 1115 and a second groove segment 1116. The first groove segment 1115 and the second groove segment 1116 are arranged along the thickness direction X of the first wall, and the first groove segment 1115 is closer to the outer surface of the first wall 11 than the second groove segment 1116. The diameter of the first groove segment 1115 is smaller than the diameter of the second groove segment 1116.

[0175] In some embodiments, the second groove 1114 may be formed by injection molding.

[0176] In some embodiments, in the thickness direction X of the first wall, a first groove segment 1115 and a second groove segment 1116 are arranged sequentially, with the first groove segment 1115 connected to one end of the second groove segment 1116 away from the electrode assembly 20.

[0177] In some embodiments, the second groove 1114 may include only the first groove segment 1115 and the second groove segment 1116, with one end of the first groove segment 1115 away from the second groove segment 1116 extending to the outer surface of the first wall 11.

[0178] In some embodiments, when the adhesive layer 120 is disposed in the exposed area 111, the adhesive layer 120 enters the first groove segment 1115 and the second groove segment 1116. Since the diameter of the first groove segment 1115 is smaller than the diameter of the second groove segment 1116, the adhesive layer 120 will contact or abut against the inner wall of the second groove segment 1116 away from the electrode assembly 20, thereby making it difficult for the adhesive layer 120 to fall off from the second groove segment 1116.

[0179] In some embodiments, the diameter of the first groove segment 1115 may remain unchanged in the thickness direction X of the first wall.

[0180] In some embodiments, the diameter of the first groove segment 1115 may vary in the thickness direction X of the first wall.

[0181] In some embodiments, the diameter of the second groove segment 1116 may remain unchanged in the thickness direction X of the first wall.

[0182] In some embodiments, the diameter of the first groove segment 1115 may be deformed in the thickness direction X of the first wall.

[0183] It should be noted that the diameter of the connection between the first groove segment 1115 and the second groove segment 1116 is smaller than the diameter of the connection between the second groove segment 1116 and the first groove segment 1115.

[0184] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the adhesive layer 120 enters the second groove 1116 from the first groove 1115. The diameter of the first groove 1115 of the second groove 1114 is smaller than the diameter of the second groove 1116, which reduces the risk of the adhesive layer 120 falling off from the second groove 1116 and improves the bonding reliability between the adhesive layer 120 and the exposed area 111.

[0185] Please refer to Figure 11, which is a schematic diagram of a second groove provided in some embodiments of this application. In some embodiments, the second groove 1114 includes a third groove segment 1117. The third groove segment 1117, the first groove segment 1115, and the second groove segment 1116 are arranged sequentially along the thickness direction X of the first wall. One end of the third groove segment 1117 extends to the outer surface of the first wall 11, and the other end communicates with the first groove segment 1115. The diameter of the first groove segment 1115 is smaller than the diameter of the third groove segment 1117.

[0186] In some embodiments, the second groove 1114 may further include a third groove segment 1117. Along the thickness direction X of the first wall, the third groove segment 1117, the first groove segment 1115, and the second groove segment 1116 are arranged sequentially. The first groove segment 1115 is connected to one end of the second groove segment 1116 away from the electrode assembly 20, and the third groove segment 1117 is connected to one end of the first groove segment 1115 away from the electrode assembly 20. The end of the third groove segment 1117 away from the first groove segment 1115 extends to the outer surface of the first wall 11.

[0187] In some embodiments, the number of second grooves 1114 can be multiple, wherein some of the second grooves 1114 may include a first groove segment 1115, a second groove segment 1116 and a third groove segment 1117, and other parts of the second grooves 1114 may only include the first groove segment 1115 and the second groove segment 1116.

[0188] In some embodiments, the number of second grooves 1114 can be multiple, and all second grooves 1114 can include a first groove segment 1115, a second groove segment 1116 and a third groove segment 1117.

[0189] In some embodiments, when the adhesive layer 120 is disposed in the exposed area 111, the adhesive layer 120 enters the third groove segment 1117, the first groove segment 1115 and the second groove segment 1116. Since the diameter of the third groove segment 1117 is larger than the diameter of the first groove segment 1115, the contact area between the adhesive layer 120 and the connecting member 130 is larger.

[0190] In some embodiments, the diameter of the third groove segment 1117 may remain unchanged in the thickness direction X of the first wall.

[0191] In some embodiments, the diameter of the third groove segment 1117 may vary in the thickness direction X of the first wall.

[0193] In some embodiments, the diameter of the third groove segment 1117 may vary in the thickness direction X of the first wall.

[0194] It should be noted that the diameter of the end of the third groove segment 1117 facing away from the electrode assembly 20 can be larger than the diameter of the end of the first groove segment 1115 facing away from the electrode assembly 20.

[0195] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the adhesive layer 120 sequentially passes through the third groove segment 1117 and the first groove segment 1115 into the second groove segment 1116. The diameter of the first groove segment 1115 of the second groove 1114 is smaller than the diameter of the second groove segment 1116, and the diameter of the first groove segment 1115 of the second groove 1114 is smaller than the diameter of the third groove segment 1117. This reduces the risk of the adhesive layer 120 falling off from the second groove segment 1116. The adhesive layer 120 is bonded through the third groove segment 1117, increasing the bonding area and improving the bonding reliability between the adhesive layer 120 and the exposed area 111.

[0196] Referring to Figure 10, in some embodiments, the diameter R2 of the first groove segment 1115 is greater than or equal to 1 mm and less than or equal to 3 mm.

[0197] In some embodiments, the diameter R2 of the first groove segment 1115 can satisfy the condition: 1mm≤R2≤3mm. For example, R2 can be a specific value among 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, and 3mm, or a value between two of them.

[0198] In some embodiments, the number of second grooves 1114 can be multiple, and the diameters R2 of the multiple first groove segments 1115 can all be the same, some can be the same, or all can be different.

[0199] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the diameter of the first groove segment 1115 meets the above conditions, which makes it easy to process and reduces the risk of the adhesive layer 120 falling off from the second groove segment 1116, thereby improving the bonding reliability between the adhesive layer 120 and the exposed area 111.

[0200] Referring to Figure 10, in some embodiments, the diameter R3 of the second groove segment 1116 is greater than or equal to 1.5 mm and less than or equal to 4 mm.

[0201] In some embodiments, the diameter R3 of the second groove segment 1116 can satisfy the condition: 1.5mm≤R3≤4mm. For example, R3 can be a specific value among 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 3.5mm, and 4mm, or a value between two of them.

[0202] In some embodiments, the number of second grooves 1114 can be multiple, and the diameters R3 of the multiple second groove segments 1116 can be all the same, partially the same, or all different.

[0203] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the diameter of the second groove segment 1116 meets the above conditions, which makes it easy to process and reduces the risk of the adhesive layer 120 falling off from the second groove segment 1116, thereby improving the bonding reliability between the adhesive layer 120 and the exposed area 111.

[0204] Referring to Figure 11, in some embodiments, the diameter R4 of the third groove segment 1117 is greater than or equal to 2 mm and less than or equal to 4 mm.

[0205] In some embodiments, the diameter R4 of the third groove segment 1117 can satisfy the condition: 2mm≤R4≤4mm. For example, R4 can be a specific value among 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 3.5mm, and 4mm, or a value between two of them.

[0206] In some embodiments, the number of second grooves 1114 can be multiple, and the diameters R4 of the multiple third groove segments 1117 can be all the same, partially the same, or all different.

[0207] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the diameter of the third groove segment 1117 satisfies the above conditions, which increases the bonding area while reducing the risk of the adhesive layer 120 falling off from the exposed area 111 and improving the bonding reliability between the adhesive layer 120 and the exposed area 111.

[0208] Referring to Figure 11, in some embodiments, in the thickness direction X of the first wall, the depth D2 of the second groove 1114 is greater than or equal to 0.4 mm and less than or equal to 1.5 mm.

The first insulating member 32 is a structure that covers the first wall 11, and the second insulating member 33 is a structure that covers the side wall 13 and the second wall 12. This makes the first insulating member 32 and the second insulating member 33 of the insulating member 30 correspond to the first wall 11 and the second wall 12 and the side wall 13 of the outer shell 10, respectively, thereby helping to reduce the assembly difficulty between the insulating member 30 and the outer shell 10.

[0239] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the second insulating member 33 has a flanged portion 331 disposed circumferentially on the first wall 11 and located at the edge of the first wall 11, such that the edge of the first insulating member 32 disposed on the first wall 11 and a portion of the flanged portion 331 together enclose and form a first hollow area 31, thereby forming an exposed area 111 on the first wall 11. The battery cell 1 with this structure does not need to set the first insulating member 32 as a structure with through holes, which is beneficial to improving the overall structural strength of the first insulating member 32. On the other hand, it is beneficial to control the size and dimensions of the first hollow area 31.
