[0031] In the prior art, the battery core is usually directly installed into the pit of the battery shell for packaging. There is usually a gap between the pit and the core to accommodate the electrolyte. When the battery is transported and installed, the corners of the pit can easily collide with the corners of the core, causing damage to the battery shell, or the tooling for installing the battery can collide with the corners of the pit, causing damage to the internal corners of the core, thereby damaging the battery.

[0033] In an embodiment of the present application, a battery shell is provided, in which a protective member 2 is arranged at a corner position 12 in a receiving cavity 11 on the shell 1 to fill the gap between the corner of the battery pole core 3 and the corner position 12 in the receiving cavity 11. During the transportation and installation process, the provision of the protective member 2 prevents the corner of the battery pole core 3 from directly colliding with the corner position 12 of the receiving cavity 11, and also prevents the tooling for installing the battery from colliding with the corner of the battery pole core 3 through the shell 1.

[0034] Specifically, the shell 1 described in the present application can be selected to be made of aluminum-plastic film material, and a receiving cavity 11 is punched out on the aluminum-plastic film by a forming mold, and then the protective member 2 is installed at the corner position of the receiving cavity 11. In application, the battery pole core 3 is installed in the receiving cavity 11, and the corners of the battery pole core 3 are abutted against the protective member 2, and the gap between the corners of the battery pole core 3 and the corner position 12 in the receiving cavity 11 is filled by the protective member 2, and the battery pole core 3 is fixed at the same time. In the process of installing or transporting the battery using the battery shell provided by the present application, since the corners of the battery pole core 3 are abutted against the protective member 2, the tooling tool is prevented from colliding with the corner position 12 of the receiving cavity 11 and damaging the corner of the battery pole core 3, causing damage to the battery pole core 3; at the same time, the corners of the battery pole core 3 are generally easy to produce burrs, etc., and the setting of the protective member 2 prevents the corners of the battery pole core 3 from colliding with the corner position 12 of the receiving cavity 11, causing damage to the battery shell.

[0035] The present application provides a battery shell to solve the technical problem that during the transportation and installation of the battery, the corner positions 12 of the accommodating cavity 11 on the shell 1 are easily collided with the corners of the battery core 3, causing damage to the shell 1, or the tooling used to install the battery collides with the corner positions 12 of the accommodating cavity 11, causing damage to the corners of the battery core 3, thereby causing damage to the battery, thereby improving the reliability of the battery.

[0036] Optionally, there are multiple corner positions 12 and protective members 2 described in the present application, and one protective member 2 is connected to one corner position 12 .

[0037] In the embodiment of the present application, a plurality of corner positions 12 are provided in the accommodating cavity 11, and a protective member 2 is connected to each corner position 12. Specifically, the accommodating cavity 11 can be set to a rectangular shape, and there are four corner positions 12 in the accommodating cavity 11 to accommodate the common rectangular sheet-shaped battery core 3. The four corners of the battery core 3 are fixed by four protective members 3, thereby avoiding the technical problem that during the transportation or installation of the battery, the corner positions 12 of the accommodating cavity 11 on the shell 1 collide with the corners of the battery core 3, thereby causing damage to the shell 1, or the tooling tools used to install the battery collide with the corner positions 12 of the accommodating cavity 11, thereby causing damage to the corners of the battery core 3, thereby causing damage to the battery.

[0038] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can select the specific form of the accommodating cavity 11, the corner positions 12 and the number of protective members 2 according to actual production and use requirements, and no specific limitation is made in the present application.

[0039] Optionally, the protective member 2 described in the present application is a flexible protective member.

[0040] In an embodiment of the present application, the protective member 2 is configured as a flexible protective member. The flexible protective member has a certain deformation ability. During the transportation or installation of the battery, when the tooling used to install the battery collides with the corner position 12 of the accommodating cavity 11, it plays a buffering role, reduces the risk of damaging the corners of the battery core 3, and improves the reliability of the battery.

[0045] Optionally, the shell 1 described in the present application includes: a first shell 13 and a second shell 14 connected to each other, the first shell 13 is provided with a first accommodating cavity; the second shell 14 is provided with a second accommodating cavity on a side close to the first shell 13, and the second accommodating cavity and the first accommodating cavity are enclosed to form an accommodating cavity 11; a protective member 2 is provided at a corner position 12 of at least one of the first accommodating cavity and the second accommodating cavity.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present application, the first shell 13 and the second shell 14 are heat-sealed and connected. Since the shell 1 can generally be made of an aluminum-plastic film, the contact portion of the first shell 13 and the second shell 14 is heated to melt the surface layer of the aluminum-plastic film and then bond together, thereby forming an effective packaging effect and preventing leakage of the electrolyte.

[0049] Optionally, the corner position 12 described in the present application is set to a rounded structure.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, the corner position 12 is set to a rounded structure, that is, a rounded mold is used for punching the accommodating cavity 11, so that the corner position 12 of the punched accommodating cavity 11 is rounded, avoiding the problem that the sharp corner position 12 is more easily damaged and reducing the risk of scratches on the carrier during transportation and installation.

[0051] Optionally, the housing 1 described in the present application is made of aluminum-plastic film.

[0052] In the embodiment of the present application, the shell 1 can be made of aluminum-plastic film material, and the plasticity, ductility and corrosion resistance of the aluminum-plastic film material make the battery shell easier to produce and use.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, the battery pole core 3 has a second rounded structure corresponding to the first rounded structure in the accommodating cavity 11, so that the battery pole core 3 is easier to install into the battery shell and reduces the risk of injury to the installation operator.

[0057] On the other hand, the present application also provides a battery pack, which may at least include a tray and a plurality of the aforementioned batteries, wherein the plurality of the aforementioned batteries are arranged in the tray.

[0058] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the specific structure of the battery is the same as the structure of the battery in the above embodiment, and its beneficial effects are similar, which will not be described in detail here.
