[0062] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by technicians in the technical field to which this application belongs; the terms used herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application; the terms "including" and "having" in the specification and claims of this application and the above-mentioned figure descriptions and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions.

[0063] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the technical terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish different objects, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number, specific order or primary and secondary relationship of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0064] Reference to "embodiments" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments in any suitable manner.

[0065] Unless otherwise specified, all embodiments and optional embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other to form a new technical solution.

[0066] Unless otherwise specified, all technical features and optional technical features of this application can be combined with each other to form a new technical solution.

[0067] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the term "and / or" is only a description of the association relationship of the associated objects, indicating that there may be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0068] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the term "multiple" refers to more than two (including two), similarly, "multiple groups" refers to more than two groups (including two groups), and "multiple sheets" refers to more than two sheets (including two sheets). "Several" means one or more than one, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0069] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the orientations or positional relationships indicated by technical terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", and "circumferential" are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the referred device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the embodiments of the present application.

[0070] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, technical terms such as "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed" and the like should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, and it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0071] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it may be directly on the other element or indirectly on the other element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or indirectly connected to the other element.

[0072] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the technical term "adjacent" refers to proximity in position. For example, among the three components A1, A2 and B, if the distance between A1 and B is greater than the distance between A2 and B, then A2 is closer to B than A1, that is, A2 is adjacent to B, or B is adjacent to A2. For another example, when there are multiple C components, the multiple C components are C1, C2, C... N When one of the C components, such as C2, is closer to the B component than other C components, then B is adjacent to C2, or it can be said that C2 is adjacent to B.

[0073] An electronic control component, such as a battery management system and a battery monitoring unit, is usually provided in a battery device to collect the working information of each battery cell in the battery device and control the charging and discharging of each battery cell. The electronic control component usually includes a circuit board and a housing, and the housing generally includes a shell and a cover. A connector socket is provided on the circuit board to connect the circuit in the battery device or to connect an external circuit. The circuit board is installed in the shell, the cover is provided on the shell, and an opening is provided on the cover for the connector socket to extend out to connect the corresponding circuit. The structure of this electronic control component has the following dimensional chain tolerances: the dimensional tolerance of the shell, the positioning tolerance of the connection between the shell and the circuit board, the dimensional tolerance of the circuit board itself, the assembly tolerance of the connector socket and the circuit board, the dimensional tolerance of the cover, the positioning tolerance of the connection between the cover and the shell, etc. This series of tolerance accumulation will make it difficult to control the gap between the connector socket and the side wall of the opening. When the size of the opening on the cover body matches the connector socket and just meets the protection level requirements, the cumulative tolerance of the dimension chain will make it difficult for the connector socket to be inserted into the opening. Even in some cases, the connector socket is inserted into the opening, which often causes one side wall of the opening to press against the connector socket, causing the connector socket to interfere with the cover body. The stress of the connector socket being pressed by the cover body can easily cause the soldering part of the circuit board and the root of the connector socket to fall off, thus affecting the performance of the electronic control component. Therefore, the size of the opening is often set larger than the outer peripheral size of the connector socket, which makes it difficult for the electronic control component to meet the set protection level requirements.

[0074] Based on the above considerations, in order to improve the problem in the related art that the gap between the connector socket and the side wall of the corresponding opening on the shell is difficult to control, which makes it difficult for the electronic control component to meet the set protection level requirements, an embodiment of the present application provides a battery device, by arranging a hard part on the shell of the electronic control component so that the hard part surrounds the connector socket and at least partially blocks the gap between the connector socket and the side wall of the opening. In this way, the opening size can be made larger to reduce the influence of the dimension chain tolerance on the assembly of the connector socket, facilitate the connector socket to pass through the opening, facilitate the assembly of the electronic control component, and reduce the risk of the side wall of the opening interfering with the connector socket. The hard part at least partially covers the gap between the connector socket and the side wall of the opening, and can block, reduce or close the gap between the connector socket and the side wall of the opening according to the protection level requirements, so that the electronic control component meets the required protection level requirements.

[0075] In the embodiment of the present application, the battery cell may be a secondary battery. A secondary battery refers to a battery cell that can be continuously used by activating active materials by charging after the battery cell is discharged.

[0076] The battery cell can be a lithium ion battery, a sodium ion battery, a sodium lithium ion battery, a lithium metal battery, a sodium metal battery, a lithium sulfur battery, a magnesium ion battery, a nickel hydrogen battery, a nickel cadmium battery, a lead storage battery, etc., which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0111] See also Figures 5 to 14 According to some embodiments of the present application, the present application provides a battery device 200, including a battery cell 300 and an electric control component 400 electrically connected to the battery cell 300. The electric control component 400 includes a housing 40, a circuit board 51, and a hard part 53. A housing 40 is provided with a receiving cavity 401; the circuit board 51 is installed in the receiving cavity 401, and a connector socket 52 is provided on the circuit board 51; an opening 402 for the connector socket 52 to extend out is opened on the housing 40; the hard part 53 is installed on the housing 40 and arranged around the connector socket 52, and the hard part 53 at least partially blocks the gap 403 between the connector socket 52 and the side wall of the opening 402.

[0112] The housing 40 refers to a structure forming an outer shell of the electric control component 400. The accommodating cavity 401 refers to an accommodating space formed inside the housing 40. The housing 40 can be made of metal, plastic, fiber, ceramic or other materials.

[0113] The opening 402 refers to a through-opening structure provided on the housing 40. The accommodating cavity 401 is connected to the outside through the opening 402.

[0114] A circuit board 51, also known as a printed circuit board (PCB), is an important component for connecting electronic components in electronic products. It is composed of an insulating material (such as glass fiber reinforced resin) as a substrate, and a conductive path (copper foil line) is attached thereon by etching or other means to provide electrical connections between electronic components.

[0115] The connector socket 52 refers to the socket structure of the connector, which is used to connect with the connector plug.

[0116] The connector socket 52 is provided on the circuit board 51 to be connected to the circuit board 51 , the connector socket 52 is supported by the circuit board 51 , and the circuit board 51 and the connector socket 52 are electrically connected.

[0117] The circuit board 51 is placed in the accommodating cavity 401, and the housing 40 supports and protects the circuit board 51. Accordingly, the connector socket 52 on the circuit board 51 extends from the opening 402 so as to be connected with the connector plug.

[0118] In order to facilitate the connector socket 52 to extend from the opening 402 , the size of the opening 402 is made larger than the size of the connector socket 52 . Then, when the connector socket 52 extends from the opening 402 of the housing 40 , a gap 403 is formed between the connector socket 52 and the side wall of the opening 402 .

[0119] The hard component 53 refers to a structural component made of a hard material, that is, when the hard component 53 is extruded, the hard component 53 will not be elastically deformed or slightly deformed along the extrusion direction, that is, the length of the hard component 53 along the extrusion direction remains unchanged or the length change of the hard component 53 along the extrusion direction is less than 5% of its length. The hard component 53 can be a sheet-shaped component, a block-shaped component, etc. The hard component 53 can be made of metal, plastic, hard rubber, etc.

[0120] The hard member 53 is mounted on the housing 40, and the housing 40 supports and fixes the hard member 53. The hard member 53 is arranged around the connector socket 52 so that the hard member 53 can block at least part of the gap 403 on the peripheral side of the connector socket 52, that is, the hard member 53 can reduce or close the gap 403 between the connector socket 52 and the side wall of the opening 402. One side of the hard member 53 is connected to the housing 40, such as the hard member 53 is bonded to the housing 40, or the hard member 53 is connected to the housing 40 by fasteners such as screws. The other side of the hard member 53 extends toward the direction of the connector socket 52 to at least partially block the gap 403 on the corresponding side of the connector socket 52, so as to reduce the size of the gap 403 to meet the required protection level requirements.

[0121] The hard part 53 is used to block or close the gap 403, so that the size of the opening 402 can be made larger, so that the connector socket 52 can be easily extended from the opening 402, reducing the interference of the side wall of the opening 402 on the connector socket 52, facilitating assembly, and thus reducing the influence of the dimension chain tolerance on the assembly of the connector socket 52. The hard part 53 can block the gap 403 according to the protection level requirements to adjust the size of the gap 403 on the side of the connector socket 52 to meet the protection level requirements. For example, the hard part 53 can be used to make the width of the gap 403 on the side of the connector socket 52 less than or equal to 1 mm to meet the protection level IP40 requirements.

[0122] Using a hard component 53 to cover at least a portion of the gap 403 around the connector socket 52 not only facilitates installation, but also increases the structural strength around the opening 402 to greatly reduce the risk of damage, and can better maintain the distance between the hard component 53 and the connector socket 52 so that the electronic control component 400 meets the required protection level requirements.

[0123] In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, a hard part 53 is provided and installed on the housing 40, and the hard part 53 is supported by the housing 40, and the hard part 53 is provided around the connector socket 52, and the hard part 53 at least partially blocks the gap 403 between the connector socket 52 and the side wall of the opening 402, so that the gap 403 between the connector socket 52 and the side wall of the opening 402 can be blocked, reduced or closed according to the protection level requirements, so that the electronic control component 400 meets the required protection level requirements, and accordingly, the size of the opening 402 can be made larger to facilitate the connector socket 52 to pass through the opening 402, thereby reducing the influence of the dimension chain tolerance on the assembly of the connector socket 52 and reducing the risk of the side wall of the opening 402 interfering with the connector socket 52.

[0124] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 At least one side of the connector socket 52 is detachably mounted with an adjusting member 55 , and the corresponding hard member 53 abuts against the adjusting member 55 . The adjusting member 55 is placed between the connector socket 52 and the hard member 53 to limit the distance between the connector socket 52 and the corresponding side hard member 53 .

[0125] The adjusting member 55 is a structural member used to limit the distance between the connector socket 52 and the corresponding side hard member 53. The area of ​​the adjusting member 55 corresponding to the side of the connector socket 52 is generally in the shape of a sheet or plate, so as to be inserted into the gap 403 between the connector socket 52 and the side wall of the opening 402. After the hard member 53 is installed to hold the adjusting member 55 and is installed on the housing 40, the distance between the adjusting member 55 and the corresponding side of the connector socket 52 is the thickness of the adjusting member 55. The adjusting member 55 can be made of metal, plastic, rubber, ceramic, etc.

[0126] The adjusting member 55 is detachably installed on at least one side of the connector socket 52, that is, the adjusting member 55 can be installed on only one side of the connector socket 52, or can be installed on multiple sides of the connector socket 52, and the adjusting member 55 is detachable, that is, after the adjusting member 55 is installed on the corresponding side of the connector socket 52, the adjusting member 55 can also be removed.

[0127] As an example, one or more sides of the connector socket 52 are provided with adjustment members 55, and the other sides of the connector socket 52 can determine the distance between the hard member 53 and the connector socket 52 through other structures, such as determining the distance between the hard member 53 and the connector socket 52 through measurement during the installation of the hard member 53. Of course, the hard member 53 on the other side of the connector socket 52 can also directly contact or abut the connector socket 52 to close the gap 403 between the corresponding side of the connector socket 52 and the side wall of the opening 402.

[0128] The corresponding hard part 53 refers to the hard part 53 on the side where the adjusting part 55 is installed on the connector socket 52. The corresponding hard part 53 abuts against the adjusting part 55, that is, the hard part 53 on the side where the adjusting part 55 is installed on the connector socket 52 abuts against the corresponding adjusting part 55, so as to determine the distance between the hard part 53 and the corresponding side of the connector socket 52 through the adjusting part 55.

[0129] When the adjusting member 55 is placed between the hard member 53 and the corresponding side of the connector socket 52, the gap between the hard member 53 and the corresponding side of the connector socket 52 can be blocked; after the adjusting member 55 is removed, a gap can be formed between the hard member 53 and the corresponding side of the connector socket 52, and the width of the gap is the thickness of the adjusting member 55. By using adjusting members 55 of different thicknesses, the width of the gap can be adjusted to achieve adjustment of the gap 403 between the hard member 53 and the corresponding side of the connector socket 52.

[0130] An adjusting member 55 is provided, and is detachably mounted on the side of the connector socket 52. When the hard member 53 is installed, the hard member 53 can be made to abut against the adjusting member 55, so that the adjusting member 55 limits the distance between the hard member 53 and the corresponding side of the connector socket 52. After the hard member 53 is fixed, the adjusting member 55 can be removed to form a desired spacing between the hard member 53 and the connector socket 52. By changing the thickness of the adjusting member 55, the distance between the corresponding side of the hard member 53 and the connector socket 52 can be adjusted to meet the required protection level.

[0131] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 , adjustment members 55 are provided on each side of the connector socket 52 .

[0132] An adjusting member 55 is disposed on each side of the connector socket 52 , that is, an adjusting member 55 is disposed on each side of the connector socket 52 .

[0133] An adjustment member 55 is provided on each side of the connector socket 52 , which can limit the distance between each side of the connector socket 52 and the corresponding hard member 53 .

[0134] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 The adjusting member 55 is in a sleeve shape and is adapted to be mounted on the connector socket 52 .

[0135] The sleeve-shaped adjusting member 55 refers to a shell-shaped structure with an opening in the middle of the adjusting member 55. The sleeve-shaped adjusting member 55 can be easily processed and manufactured, and when the hard member 53 is installed, the distance between each hard member 53 and the corresponding side of the connector socket 52 can be conveniently limited.

[0136] The adjusting member 55 is adapted to be mounted on the connector socket 52 , that is, the sleeve-shaped adjusting member 55 is adapted to be mounted on the connector socket 52 so that the hard member 53 covers the gap 403 on the peripheral side of the connector socket 52 to meet the required protection level requirements.

[0137] The adjusting member 55 is provided in a sleeve shape to facilitate assembly on the connector socket 52 , which is not only convenient for installation but also can conveniently define the distance between each side of the connector socket 52 and the corresponding hard member 53 .

[0138] In some embodiments, there may be multiple adjusting members 55, which are respectively disposed on different sides of the connector socket 52 to limit the distance between different sides of the connector socket 52 and the corresponding hard member 53. Multiple means two or more.

[0139] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Fig.12 The hard component 53 is bonded and connected to the side wall of the connector socket 52 .

[0140] The hard component 53 is bonded to the side wall of the connector socket 52 , for example, the hard component 53 is connected to the side wall of the connector socket 52 via a double-sided adhesive 54 . Of course, the hard component 53 can also be connected to the side wall of the connector socket 52 via glue.

[0141] The hard component 53 is bonded to the side wall of the connector socket 52 , so that the gap 403 between the connector socket 52 and the side wall of the opening 402 can be well sealed, so that the electronic control component 400 meets the required protection level requirements.

[0142] In some embodiments, when the hard member 53 is sealed to the connector socket 52, a sealant may be filled between the hard member 53 and the connector socket 52 to connect the hard member 53 and the connector socket 52. Of course, the corresponding sides of the hard member 53 and the connector socket 52 may also be welded to each other.

[0143] In some embodiments, the hard component 53 may also be spaced apart from the connector socket 52 , so that the size and position of the hard component 53 may be set as needed to meet the required protection level requirements.

[0144] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 , Fig.11 and Fig.14 The hard component 53 has an inner hole 530 , and the connector socket 52 passes through the inner hole 530 , so that the hard component 53 is adapted to be mounted on the connector socket 52 .

[0145] The inner hole 530 refers to a through hole structure provided in the hard member 53. The inner hole 530 is provided on the hard member 53 so that the hard member 53 can be mounted on the connector socket 52, and the hard member 53 can be an integral structure for easy processing and manufacturing. The hard member 53 and the connector socket 52 are adapted to be assembled so that the hard member 53 blocks the gap 403 on the peripheral side of the connector socket 52 to meet the required protection level requirements.

[0146] The hard part 53 is provided with an inner hole 530 and is mounted on the connector socket 52. As long as the contour of the connector socket 52 and the size of the inner hole 530 of the hard part 53 are controlled during production, the assembly gap 403 can be well controlled when the hard part 53 is mounted on the connector socket 52, the production efficiency is high, and the qualified rate can be improved.

[0147] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 , Fig.11 and Fig.14 The difference between the distance d1 between the two opposite side walls of the inner hole 530 and the distance d2 between the corresponding two opposite sides of the connector socket 52 is less than or equal to 2 mm, and the distance d3 between each side wall of the inner hole 530 and the connector socket 52 is less than or equal to 1 mm.

[0148] The distance d1 between the two opposite side walls of the inner hole 530 refers to the distance between the side walls at the opposite sides along any direction perpendicular to the depth of the inner hole 530 .

[0149] The distance d2 between the two corresponding opposite sides of the connector socket 52 refers to the distance between the two opposite sides in the same direction as the two opposite side walls of the inner hole 530 .

[0150] The difference between the distance between the two opposite sides of the inner hole 530 and the distance between the corresponding two sides of the connector socket 52 is made less than or equal to 2 mm. After the hard component 53 is put on the connector socket 52, the distance d3 between the side walls of the inner hole 530 and the connector socket 52 can be made less than or equal to 1 mm to meet the requirements of protection level IP40.

[0151] In some embodiments, the difference between the distance d1 between the two opposite side walls of the inner hole 530 and the distance d2 between the corresponding two opposite sides of the connector socket 52 is set to other values ​​to meet the requirements of the required protection level.

[0152] In some embodiments, see Figures 6 to 12 There are multiple hard parts 53, and the multiple hard parts 53 are arranged around the connector socket 52.

[0153] A plurality of hard parts 53 are combined to fit around the connector socket 52, which is convenient for design. In addition, a plurality of hard parts 53 can be combined to form connector sockets 52 of different shapes as needed.

[0154] As an example, the hard member 53 may be a plurality of sheet-shaped or block-shaped members, and each hard member 53 is disposed on one side of the connector socket 52 , so that the plurality of hard members 53 are cooperatively disposed around the connector socket 52 .

[0155] As an example, the hard member 53 may be one or more, and the hard member 53 may also include other structural members, such as a plate-like member or a sheet-like member, to cooperate with the hard member 53 to be disposed around the connector socket 52 .

[0156] In some embodiments, the hard member 53 is an integral structure, such as a ring-shaped or frame-shaped structure, disposed around the connector socket 52 .

[0157] In some embodiments, see Figures 6 to 8 , along the depth direction of the opening 402, each hard member 53 is in a long strip shape, one side of the hard member 53 is connected to the housing 40, and the other side extends toward the connector socket 52 to cover at least part of the gap 403 on the corresponding side of the connector socket 52. This kind of hard member 53 is easy to process and manufacture, for example, a long hard member 53 can be manufactured, and then cut to the required length so as to be installed on the corresponding side of the connector socket 52.

[0158] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 and Fig.13 At least one hard member 53 blocks at least a portion of the gap 403 on two adjacent sides or three adjacent sides of the connector socket 52 .

[0159] At least one hard part 53 blocks at least a portion of the gap 403 on two adjacent sides or three sides of the connector socket 52, which means that among the multiple hard parts 53, at least one hard part 53 can be located on two adjacent sides or three sides of the connector socket 52 after being installed on the housing 40 to block at least a portion of the gap 403 on the corresponding two adjacent sides or three sides of the connector socket 52.

[0160] The hard component 53 covers at least a portion of the gap 403 on two adjacent sides or three adjacent sides of the connector socket 52. When the hard component 53 is used to surround the connector socket 52, the number of installed hard components 53 can be reduced, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0161] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 and Fig.13 , along the depth direction of the opening 402 , when the connector socket 52 is polygonal, at least one hard member 53 is L-shaped or U-shaped.

[0162] The hard component 53 is set in an L shape and installed on the shell 40, so that the hard component 53 can cover at least part of the gap 403 on the adjacent two sides of the connector socket 52, so that the corresponding adjacent two sides of the connector socket 52 meet the required protection level requirements.

[0163] The hard part 53 is set to be U-shaped and installed on the shell 40, so that the hard part 53 can cover at least part of the gap 403 on the three adjacent sides of the connector socket 52, so that the corresponding three adjacent sides of the connector socket 52 meet the required protection level requirements.

[0164] The hard component 53 is arranged in an L-shape or a U-shape. When the hard component 53 is used to surround the connector socket 52 , the number of hard components 53 to be installed can be reduced, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0165] In some embodiments, along the depth direction of the opening 402 , when the connector socket 52 is circular or elliptical, at least one hard member 53 is arc-shaped.

[0166] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 , Fig.11 and Fig.13 , a distance d3 between the connector socket 52 and the hard part 53 is less than or equal to 1 mm.

[0177] The extension portion 532 is connected to the side of the connecting portion 531 close to the connector socket 52. The extension portion 532 and the connecting portion 531 can be bonded together, or they can be connected by fasteners such as screws. Of course, the extension portion 532 and the connecting portion 531 can also be integrally formed to connect the extension portion 532 and the connecting portion 531.

[0178] The extension portion 532 is extended along the thickness direction of the connection portion 531, which means that the extension portion 532 extends along the thickness direction of the connection portion 531 toward one side of the connection portion 531, or the extension portion 532 extends along the thickness direction of the connection portion 531 toward two opposite sides of the connection portion 531. The extension portion 532 extends along the thickness direction of the connection portion 531 toward one side of the connection portion 531, and accordingly, the cross section of the hard member 53 is L-shaped; the extension portion 532 extends along the thickness direction of the connection portion 531 toward two opposite sides of the connection portion 531, and accordingly, the cross section of the hard member 53 is T-shaped. The cross section of the hard member 53 refers to the cross section along the thickness direction of the connection portion 531.

[0179] The hard part 53 is provided with a connecting portion 531 so as to be connected to the housing 40, and an extending portion 532 is provided and extended toward one side of the connecting portion 531, so as to increase the structural strength of the hard part 53 so as to shield the gap 403 between the connector socket 52 and the side wall of the opening 402, thereby improving the product qualification rate and enabling the electronic control component 400 to meet the required protection level requirements.
