For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the utility model provides a battery pack support structure 2, the battery pack support structure 2 includes a support portion 21, and the support portion 21 is used to support the battery cell 10 structure;

[0035] The liquid-conducting structure 22 is disposed at the edge of the support portion 21 . The liquid-conducting structure 22 includes a groove 30 . The groove 30 is used to discharge the liquid inside the battery pack support structure 2 .

[0036] When water enters the battery pack 1, the present application sets a liquid guide structure 22 on the inner edge of the battery pack support structure 2. The liquid guide structure 22 includes a groove 30, which can converge the water and discharge it from the battery pack, reducing the water in the battery pack from corroding the components in the battery pack support structure 2, thereby affecting the overall performance of the battery pack. In addition, in the event of thermal runaway, the electrolyte sprays everywhere, which can easily cause the metal parts inside the battery pack support structure 2 to be charged, causing arcing, and causing secondary safety problems. In the present application, the groove 30 is set below the explosion-proof valve 11 of the battery cell 10, and the inner side of the groove 30 is close to the explosion-proof valve 11. In the event of thermal runaway, the electrolyte is sprayed out from the explosion-proof valve 11, and the bottom of the explosion-proof valve 11 is close to the inner side of the groove 30. The sprayed electrolyte can flow into the groove 30, converge through the liquid guide structure 22, and be discharged to the battery pack support structure 2. It is worth noting that the liquid-conducting structure 22 discharges water accidentally entering the battery pack or other waste liquids such as electrolyte sprayed out due to thermal runaway, and is not a certain liquid intentionally provided in the battery pack to achieve a certain function.

[0037] In one embodiment, the groove 30 includes a bottom surface 303, and a first end surface 301 and a second end surface 302 that are arranged opposite to each other. The bottom surface 303 is arranged at a preset angle with the first end surface 301 and the second end surface 302. The first end surface 301 is close to the center of the battery pack support structure 2. The first end surface 301 has a first contact line 3011 close to the battery cell 10, and the first contact line 3011 is flush with the end surface of the pole of the battery cell 10. It can be understood that the first contact line 3011 of the groove 30 coincides with the boundary line between the side surface of the battery cell 10 and the end surface of the pole in the vertical direction, so that there is no other gap between the battery cell 10 and the groove 30, which can effectively reduce the ejected electrolyte or water remaining on the battery shell or the battery pack support structure 2, and maximize the convergence of liquids such as electrolyte into the groove 30.

[0038] In one embodiment, the groove 30 is located on one side of the explosion-proof valve 11 of the battery cell 10, and the groove 30 is arranged along the direction in which the explosion-proof valve 11 is arranged. The side of the battery cell 10 with the explosion-proof valve 11 is close to the groove 30. Specifically, in order to converge the electrolyte ejected from the explosion-proof valve 11, the groove 30 needs to be as close to the explosion-proof valve 11 as possible. The explosion-proof valve 11 is generally arranged on one side of the end face of the pole of the battery cell 10, so the groove 30 can be arranged along the direction in which the explosion-proof valve 11 is arranged. In addition, in order to reduce the electrolyte from being sprayed everywhere and reduce the confluence time, the battery cell 10 with the explosion-proof valve 11 is placed close to the groove 30, which can reduce the electrolyte from being scattered everywhere.

[0039] In one embodiment, the first end surface 301 and / or the second end surface 302 is a slope or a curved surface.

[0040] Specifically, Figure 2As shown, the first end face 301 and / or the second end face of the groove 30 are sloped surfaces, and the upper end face of the slope is in close contact with the end face of the pole of the battery cell 10. An explosion-proof valve 11 is arranged on the end face of the battery cell 10. When the battery pack 1 is thermally runaway, the electrolyte will be sprayed out through the explosion-proof valve 11. The slope of the groove 30 helps to guide the electrolyte sprayed everywhere to the bottom of the groove 30 and discharge it.

[0041] Optionally, when the first end surface and / or the second end surface 302 is an arc surface, the arc surface of the groove 30 also helps the convergence and timely discharge of the liquid.

[0042] Alternatively, if Figure 3 As shown, the longitudinal section of the groove is arc-shaped, which is convenient for the convergence of liquid.

[0043] In one embodiment, the depth of the groove 30 is 10mm-15mm. It is understandable that, considering the protective strength of the battery pack support structure 2 and the fluidity of the liquid, if the groove 30 is too shallow, it will easily cause the liquid to be retained in the groove 30 and difficult to discharge. Therefore, the present application recommends setting the depth of the groove 30 to be greater than or equal to 10mm. In addition, if the groove 30 is too deep, it will affect the protective strength of the battery pack support structure 2. Therefore, the present application recommends setting the depth of the groove 30 to be less than or equal to 15mm. Other schemes comprehensively consider the depth of the groove 30 based on the material and size of the battery pack support structure 2, but it must ensure the fluidity of the liquid while ensuring the protective strength of the battery pack support structure 2.

[0044] In one embodiment, according to the drainage requirement of the battery pack 1, the width of the bottom surface 303 is 5mm-15mm. It is understandable that in the event of thermal runaway of the battery, there may be some solid particles in the ejected electrolyte. If the width of the groove 30 is too narrow, the solid particles will easily block the flow channel, so the width of the groove 30 should be greater than or equal to 5mm. On the other hand, the space of the battery pack structure must also be considered comprehensively. If the groove 30 is too wide, it will affect the placement space of the battery cell 10, and its energy density will be reduced. Therefore, the width of the groove 30 is set to be less than or equal to 15mm. Other schemes can also comprehensively consider the drainage requirements of the battery pack and the space utilization rate, and comprehensively determine the range of the width of the groove 30.

[0045] In one embodiment, if Figure 4As shown, the liquid guide structure 22 includes a guide plate 31, which is arranged on the bottom surface 303 of the groove 30. The guide plate 31 is high in the middle and low at both ends along the length direction of the groove 30, that is, along the length direction of the guide plate 31, the guide plate 31 has a certain slope from the middle to the two ends. At this time, there is water or electrolyte inside the groove 30. If there is no guide plate 31, the water will accumulate inside the battery pack support structure 2 and it will not be easy to discharge in time, or the discharge will not be clean enough and thorough enough, and there will still be some residual water or electrolyte. The residual water or electrolyte will also affect the safety performance of the battery pack. Therefore, the groove 30 of the present application is designed to be high in the middle and low at both ends, and the liquid converging in the groove 30 is guided to the two ends of the groove 30, which is conducive to the liquid converging to the groove 30 to be discharged from the battery pack in time, and reduce the water or electrolyte remaining inside the groove 30.

[0046] In one embodiment, the height of the guide plate 31 is one-third to two-thirds of the depth of the groove 30, and the length of the guide plate 31 is equal to the length of the groove 30. Specifically, the guide plate 31 is high in the middle and low on both sides, and is an isosceles triangle. The guide plate 31 is set on the bottom surface 303 of the groove 30 for diversion. If it is too low, the slope will be insufficient and it will be difficult to divert. If the slope is too high, it will occupy too much space in the groove 30. Considering the space utilization rate, the height of the middle of the guide plate 31 is set to one-third to two-thirds of the depth of the groove 30. In addition, the guide plate 31 is arranged inside the groove 30. When the length of the guide plate 31 is shorter than the length of the groove 30, liquid will accumulate at the end of the guide plate 31. For example, when the length of the guide plate 31 is only one-half of the length of the groove 30, there is still one-quarter of the length at both ends of the groove 30. If the length of the battery pack 1 along the direction of the battery cell 10 is long enough, one-quarter of the length at both ends of the groove 30 is flat without a slope, and the liquid will be retained here and difficult to discharge. Therefore, the present application recommends setting the length of the guide plate 31 to be equal to or slightly less than the length of the groove 30. At this time, the liquid converges at both ends of the groove 30, which is easy to form a large liquid pressure, and the liquid phase valve 40 at both ends of the groove 30 is opened to discharge the liquid in time.

[0047] In one embodiment, the guide plate 31 and the groove 30 are integrally formed. Compared with a structure in which the guide plate 31 is independently and detachably disposed in the groove 30, the integrally formed guide plate 31 and the groove 30 can reduce the situation in which water or electrolyte remains in the gap between the guide plate 31 and the groove 30, and can effectively reduce the corrosion of the residual water or electrolyte to the battery pack components, thereby improving its safety. In addition, the guide plate 31 and the groove 30 are integrally formed, the preparation process is simpler, and the stability of the connection is better.

[0048] In one embodiment, the liquid guiding structure 22 further includes a liquid phase valve 40, which is disposed at the ends of the groove 30. When liquid accumulates at the ends of the groove 30 and its pressure reaches a predetermined threshold, the liquid phase valve 40 is opened to discharge the liquid out of the battery pack support structure 2.

[0049] In one embodiment, the liquid guiding structure 22 includes a liquid phase valve 40, and a guide plate 31 is also provided in the groove 30. The guide plate is set to be higher in the middle and lower on both sides, so as to guide the liquid in the groove to both ends of the groove, which helps the liquid to converge to both ends of the groove. When the amount of liquid is constant, the guide plate helps to increase the liquid pressure at both ends of the groove, making it easier to open the liquid phase valve to discharge the liquid from the battery pack.

[0050] Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, the liquid phase valve 40 is arranged at both ends of the groove 30 along the length direction, and can be directly or indirectly connected to the outside of the battery pack. When the liquid pressure at both ends of the groove 30 reaches a predetermined threshold, the liquid phase valve 40 opens to discharge the liquid to the outside of the battery pack. The liquid phase valve 40 includes three channels, the first channel 400 is connected to the end of the groove 30; the third channel 404 can be directly or indirectly connected to the outside of the battery pack support structure 2; a switch assembly is arranged in the second channel 402, the switch assembly includes a support rod 403, a valve cover 401 connected to the support rod 403, and a spring 405402 arranged outside the support rod 403. The valve cover 401 is arranged on the end face of the second channel 402 close to the first channel 400, and the end face of the second channel 402 away from the first channel 400 is provided with a cover plate. In order to ensure that the liquid phase valve 40 is relatively sealed and prevent foreign impurities and dust from entering, the spring 405 is arranged between the valve cover 401 and the cover plate, and abuts against the cover plate and the valve cover 401.

[0051] The working principle of the liquid phase valve 40 is as follows: when there is no liquid or the amount of liquid in the first channel 400 is small, and its pressure does not reach the threshold value for opening the liquid phase valve 400, the valve cover 401 covers the junction of the second channel 402 and the first channel 400, so that the first channel 400 and the second channel 402 are separated, the liquid phase valve 40 is closed, and the liquid remains in the groove 30. When the liquid in the first channel 400 accumulates and its pressure reaches the threshold value for opening the liquid phase valve 400, the valve cover 401 drives the support rod 403 to move obliquely upward to open the first channel 400, and the liquid in the first channel 400 flows into the third channel 404 and is discharged to the outside of the battery pack support structure 2. At this time, the spring 405 is compressed under the action of the liquid pressure. When the liquid in the first channel 400 is discharged, its pressure drops to the predetermined threshold value for opening the liquid phase valve 40, the valve cover 401 is reset, the spring 405 returns to its original shape, and the first channel 400 is closed. The predetermined threshold value for opening the liquid phase valve 40 is closely related to properties such as the elastic coefficient of the spring 405 provided in the second channel 402 .

[0052] Optionally, the length of the support rod 403 is greater than the length of the second channel 402, that is, the end of the support rod 403 away from the valve cover 401 is located outside the second channel 402. Optionally, a handle is provided at the end of the support rod 403 away from the valve cover 401, and the handle is perpendicular to the support rod 403. It can be understood that when the liquid pressure has not reached the threshold for opening the liquid phase valve 400, the valve cover 401 can be opened to discharge the liquid by pulling the handle or holding the end of the support rod 403 away from the valve cover 401.

[0053] In one embodiment, if Figure 6 As shown, in the battery pack structure with a module layered design, the battery pack support structure 2 is set to a multi-layer structure, the support portion 21 and the liquid guide structure 22 are located in the lower layer of the battery pack support structure 2, and the battery pack support structure 2 also includes a tray 50, which is located above the support portion 21 and is used to support the battery cell 10 in the upper layer. The structural schematic diagram of the tray is shown in Figure 7 As shown, the edge of the tray 50 is bent downward to form a guide surface, which is located above the groove 30 and is used to guide the liquid in the tray 50 to the groove 30. The bent end surface is located above the groove 30 in the vertical direction. When the upper tray 50 is immersed in water or the upper battery cell 10 sprays out electrolyte due to thermal runaway, the water or electrolyte can drip into the groove 30 through the guide surface at the edge of the tray 50, and then be guided by the guide plate 31, and the liquid is discharged to the battery pack support structure 2 through the liquid phase valve 40.

[0054] The embodiment of the utility model also provides a battery pack, which includes a battery pack support structure 2 and a plurality of battery cells 10 provided in any of the above embodiments, wherein a support portion 21 supports the plurality of battery cells 10, an explosion-proof valve 11 is provided on the pole end face of the battery cell 10, and a groove 30 is provided on one side of the explosion-proof valve 11, and the groove 30 is used to converge and guide the water in the battery pack support structure 2 or the electrolyte flowing out from the explosion-proof valve 11 during thermal runaway to the battery pack. The unnecessary water in the battery pack can be timely converged and guided out, and the water accumulation in the battery pack is reduced, which has an adverse effect on the electrical and mechanical properties of the battery pack. During thermal runaway, the electrolyte will spray and scatter from the explosion-proof valve 11, and at this time, the electrolyte will easily react with the metal to produce arcing in a high temperature state. Now, the groove 30 is provided on one side of the explosion-proof valve 11 to converge the electrolyte to the greatest extent, reduce the degree of its scattering in the battery pack, and reduce the probability of its arcing, thereby improving the safety performance of the battery pack.

[0055] The embodiment of the utility model further provides an electrical device, which includes the battery pack and the electrical device provided in the above embodiment, and the battery pack provides electrical energy for the electrical device.
