[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 In order to solve the problem of difficulty in disassembling and assembling cylindrical batteries, the utility model proposes a battery structure 1000, including:

[0037] The battery body and circuit board assembly, the battery body includes a battery cell 11 and a shell 12, the shell 12 encloses a cavity 121, the battery cell 11 is accommodated and confined in the cavity 121, the circuit board assembly includes a circuit board 21 and a temperature sensor 22 arranged on the circuit board 21, the shell 12 has a mounting wall 1211 facing the positive electrode 111 or the negative electrode 112 of the battery cell 11, the circuit board 21 is arranged on the mounting wall 1211, and the temperature sensor 22 is located on the side of the circuit board 21 facing the battery cell 11.

[0038] In the technical solution of the utility model, the battery cell 11 is arranged in a cavity 121 enclosed by the battery shell 12, the circuit board 21 is arranged on the mounting wall 1211 of the shell 12 facing the positive electrode 111 or the negative electrode 112 of the battery cell 11, and the temperature sensor 22 is arranged between the circuit board 21 and the battery cell 11. The temperature of the battery cell 11 can be directly or indirectly detected by the temperature sensor 22. During installation, since the temperature sensor 22 does not protrude from the mounting wall 1211 of the shell 12, the temperature sensor 22 will not interfere with other mounting structures, thereby making it more convenient to disassemble and assemble the cylindrical battery equipped with the temperature sensor 22.

[0039] In one embodiment, an accommodation space is formed between the mounting wall 1211 and the battery cell 11, and the circuit board 21 is accommodated and limited in the accommodation space. The length of the housing 12 is greater than the length of the battery cell 11, so the cavity 121 has an accommodation space for accommodating the circuit board 21 and the temperature sensor 22 in addition to accommodating the battery cell 11. The circuit board 21 is limited in the accommodation space, which can prevent the circuit board 21 from moving in the accommodation space and driving the temperature sensor 22 to move, resulting in inaccurate temperature measurement.

[0040] In one embodiment, the battery cell 11 includes a support ring 113, which is disposed at one end of the battery cell 11 facing the circuit board 21. The support ring 113 is connected to the circuit board 21 and encloses a mounting cavity 1131, and the temperature sensor 22 is located in the mounting cavity 1131. When the cylindrical battery is disassembled, the circuit board 21 may be subjected to partial pressure. Since the temperature sensor 22 is disposed between the battery cell 11 and the circuit board 21, the circuit board 21 will be squeezed by the pressure on the temperature sensor 22. The support ring 113 is used to support the circuit board 21, so that the support ring 113 can support the circuit board 21 when the circuit board 21 is subjected to pressure, thereby reducing or even eliminating the pressure of the circuit board 21 squeezing the temperature sensor 22, and to a certain extent, the probability of damage to the temperature sensor 22 can be reduced.

[0041] In one embodiment, the circuit board assembly also includes a conductive member, which is disposed on the side of the circuit board 21 facing away from the battery cell 11, and the mounting wall 1211 is formed with an opening 122 corresponding to the conductive member, and part of the structure of the conductive member is exposed in the opening 122. Since the conductive contacts on the circuit board 21 are small in size, and usually need to be welded well in order for the cylindrical battery to output a stable current, the operation is troublesome. By using a conductive member to connect the conductive contacts on the circuit board 21, and connecting the external electrical components to the conductive member at the opening 122, a stable output current of the cylindrical battery can be achieved. Usually, the conductive member is connected to the conductive contacts on the circuit board 21 by welding. Of course, it is also a feasible solution to provide a conductive metal wire on the conductive member and hinge it with the contact.

[0042] It is understandable that the conductive member can be a conductive block or a plurality of concentric conductive rings 23 arranged at intervals. In one embodiment, the conductive member is four concentric conductive rings 23 arranged at intervals. Using four concentric conductive rings 23 arranged at intervals as the conductive member can provide a redundant conductive path. When one of the conductive rings 23 fails, the other conductive rings 23 can still transmit current or signals normally, thereby improving the power supply stability of the cylindrical battery and the current transmission efficiency of the cylindrical battery. At the same time, the four concentric conductive rings 33 can be set so that the external circuit and the battery cell 11 can still maintain an electrical connection through the four conductive rings 33 when the battery structure 1000 rotates, so that the battery cell 11 will not stop supplying power due to the influence of the rotation of the battery structure 1000. In one embodiment, the temperature sensor 22 is in contact with the negative electrode 112 of the battery cell 11, and the temperature sensor 22 is in direct contact with the battery cell 11, which can better sense the temperature of the battery cell 11, avoid the error caused by the heat transfer impedance of air or other media between the temperature sensor 22 and the battery cell 11, and make the temperature measurement result more accurate.

[0043] One electrode of the battery cell 11 close to the circuit board 21 may be a positive electrode 111 or a negative electrode 112, and in contrast, the other electrode of the battery cell 11 far from the circuit board 21 may be a negative electrode 112 or a positive electrode 111. In one embodiment, one electrode of the battery cell 11 close to the circuit board 21 is a negative electrode 112, and the other electrode is a positive electrode 111; the circuit board assembly further includes a first electrode connection line 24 and a second electrode connection line 25, the first electrode connection line 24 is sandwiched between the circuit board 21 and the battery cell 11, the second electrode connection line 25 is arranged across the surface of the battery cell 11, and abuts against the inner wall of the cavity 121, and the second electrode connection line 25 is used to connect the positive electrode 111 of the battery cell 11 and the circuit board 21. The first electrode connecting line 24 electrically connects the negative electrode 112 of the battery cell 11 to the circuit board 21, and the second electrode connecting line 25 electrically connects the positive electrode 111 of the battery cell 11 to the circuit board 21; the circuit board 21 is electrically connected to the external circuit, so that the external circuit can be electrically connected to the positive electrode 111 and the negative electrode 112 of the battery body, and the circuit board 21 is installed on the installation wall 1211. In this way, a side wall of the outer shell 12 is arranged to abut against the external circuit, so that the battery structure 1000 can be installed and matched with the external circuit, thereby facilitating the installation of the battery structure 1000.

[0044] Please refer to Figures 7 to 10 The utility model further proposes a battery disassembly and assembly device 2000, which is used to assemble a battery structure 1000. The specific structure of the battery structure 1000 refers to the above embodiment. Since the battery disassembly and assembly device 2000 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it at least has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described one by one here.

[0045] The battery disassembly and assembly device 2000 includes a disassembly and assembly assembly, which includes a protective shell 31, a battery cover 32 and at least one conductive spring 33. The protective shell 31 is movably connected with the battery cover 32 and encloses to form a receiving cavity. The battery structure 1000 is received and limited in the receiving cavity. The conductive spring 33 is arranged at one end of the receiving cavity away from the battery cover 32 and is electrically connected to the circuit board assembly. In one embodiment, the disassembly and assembly assembly includes a protective shell 31, a battery cover 32 and six conductive springs 33. The protective shell 31 can reduce the probability of the cylindrical battery being damaged by external objects. The four conductive rings 23 are connected by six conductive springs 33, so that the connection between the conductive spring 33 and the conductive ring 23 is stable and not easy to fall off, thereby improving the stability of the cylindrical battery transmitting current outward. At the same time, the arrangement of the four concentric conductive rings 23 can keep the external circuit and the battery cell 11 electrically connected through the four conductive rings 23 when the battery structure 1000 rotates, so that the battery cell 11 will not stop supplying power due to the influence of the rotation of the battery structure 1000.

[0046] In one embodiment, the battery cover 32 includes a rubber pad 321, which is disposed on the side of the battery cover 32 facing the battery body and is used to squeeze the battery structure 1000 so that each conductive spring 33 abuts against the circuit board assembly. The conductive spring 33 is elastic; when installing the cylindrical battery, the battery cover 32 squeezes the rubber pad 321 and the battery structure 1000 to compress the conductive spring 33 to complete the installation; when removing the battery cover 32, the conductive spring 33 rebounds and can push part of the battery structure 1000 out of the accommodating cavity. The user can hold the part of the battery structure 1000 that is pushed out of the accommodating cavity to separate the battery structure 1000 from the protective shell 31, thereby completing the removal of the battery structure 1000. At the same time, the conductive ring 23 elastically abuts against the conductive spring 33, so that the conductive spring 33 has a certain rebound force on the conductive ring 23, so that the connection between the conductive spring 33 and the conductive ring 23 is more stable to ensure the electrical connection between the conductive ring 23 and the cylindrical battery, and the cylindrical battery can transmit current outward more stably. Of course, in another embodiment, the rubber pad 321 can be replaced by a spring to achieve the same technical effect.

[0047] In one embodiment, an annular protrusion 311 is formed on the inner wall of the protective shell 31, and an annular groove 3211 is formed on the side wall of the rubber pad 321 facing the annular protrusion 311. The annular groove 3211 is snap-fitted with the annular protrusion 311. The rubber pad 321 is elastic. When the battery cover 32 is pushed to squeeze the battery structure 1000 and move toward the inside of the protective shell 31, the conductive spring sheet 33 is squeezed by the battery structure 1000 and generates a rebound force on the battery structure 1000. The annular groove 3211 on the rubber pad 321 moves to the annular protrusion 311 on the protective shell 31. The annular groove 3211 is snap-fitted with the annular protrusion 311 so that the rubber pad 321 generates a reaction force on the battery structure 1000. The reaction force generated by the rubber pad 321 on the battery structure 1000 offsets the rebound force of the conductive spring sheet 33 on the battery structure 1000, so that the battery structure 1000 is stably accommodated and confined in the accommodating cavity 311.

[0048] In one embodiment, a convex column 3212 is formed on the side of the rubber pad 321 facing the battery structure 1000, and the convex column 3212 abuts against the second electrode connection line 25. When the battery cover 32 is pushed to squeeze the battery structure 1000, the convex column 3212 on the rubber pad 321 squeezes the second electrode connection line 25 and abuts against the positive electrode 111 of the battery cell 11, so that the electrical connection between the positive electrode 111 of the battery cell 11 and the circuit board 21 can be stable. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and does not limit the patent scope of the utility model. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the utility model specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the utility model, or directly / indirectly used in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the utility model.
