DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The specific implementation of the present disclosure is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described herein is only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure, and is not used to limit the present disclosure.

[0033] In the present disclosure, unless otherwise stated, directional words such as "up, down, left, right" are generally defined by the use state of the battery cover assembly. The "first direction" can be specifically referred to as Figure 3The X direction shown in the figure, the “second direction” can be specifically referred to Figure 3 The Y direction is shown in the figure. For details about the “third direction”, please refer to Figure 3 In the Z direction shown, in addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. used in the present disclosure are to distinguish one element from another element, and do not have order and importance. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.

[0034] In the related art, in order to monitor the status of the battery cells, multiple acquisition modules are usually set to monitor the battery cells. For example, the acquisition module may include a voltage acquisition module, a current acquisition module and a temperature acquisition module, wherein the temperature acquisition module is an NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient thermistor), i.e., a negative temperature coefficient thermistor. The temperature acquisition module is usually attached to the narrow surface of the battery cell 4 by means of glue. The gluing method can easily cause the temperature acquisition module to become detached from the bond and cause warping. The warped temperature acquisition module is close to the cold plate, causing the collected temperature to be about 8°C lower than the actual temperature of the battery cell, thereby causing a deviation in the measurement of the temperature of the battery cell 4, which can easily lead to a thermal safety incident.

[0035] In order to solve the above technical problems, Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, on one hand, the present disclosure provides a battery cover assembly for supporting and connecting battery cells, including a cover body 1, the cover body 1 is provided with a receiving groove 11 along a first direction, a limit member 2 is provided in the receiving groove 11, the limit member 2 is configured to be able to move along the first direction, and the first end 21 of the limit member 2 extends out of the receiving groove 11, and is used to press the collection module 5 arranged on the battery cell 4.

[0036] Through the above technical solution, by arranging a limiter 2 in the accommodating groove of the cover body 1, the limiter 2 moves in the first direction and presses the collection module 5 on the battery cell 4, thereby preventing the temperature collection module in the collection module 5 from warping when it is connected by adhesive bonding, thereby avoiding deviations in the collection data of the temperature collection module due to warping, improving the measurement accuracy of the temperature collection module, and making the thermal management of the battery run stably and with high safety.

[0037] It should be noted that the above-mentioned limiter 2 can be an injection molded part, and the first end 21 of the limiter 2 can be constructed as a rectangular surface so that the first end 21 can press the collection module 5 on the battery cell 4.

[0038] Optionally, a first elastic member 25 is provided between the stopper 2 and the receiving groove 11, and the first elastic member 25 is used to provide a pressing force to the stopper 2 toward the collection module 5. For example, the stopper 2 may be a rectangular injection molded part, and the receiving groove 11 may be a rectangular channel, so that the first end 21 of the stopper 2 includes a rectangular surface, and the rectangular surface of the first end 21 is used to cooperate with the collection module 5, and a first elastic member 25 in a compressed state is provided between a side surface of the stopper 2 away from the first end 21 and the receiving groove 11, so that the first elastic member 25 can provide elastic force to the stopper 2, so that the stopper 2 can extend out of the receiving groove 11 and press the collection module 5 on the battery cell 4 with the elastic force provided by the first elastic member 25.

[0039] The stopper 2 includes a second end 24 disposed opposite to the first end 21, and the first elastic member 25 includes a first spring 27, and the two ends of the first spring 27 are respectively in contact with the second end 24 and the inner wall of the receiving groove 11. Thus, when the stopper 2 is in the initial state, the first spring 27 is in a compressed state, and the first spring 27 can provide sufficient elastic force toward the stopper 2 in the first direction, so that when the stopper 2 is in the working state, it can extend out of the receiving groove 11 along the first direction under the action of the elastic force and press the collection module 5 on the battery cell 4.

[0040] Of course, in order to reduce costs, in some feasible embodiments, the limit member 2 is constructed to be similar to a rectangular injection molded part, and the rectangular surface of the second end 24 of the limit member 2 can be smaller than the rectangular surface of the first end 21, and the accommodating groove 11 can be constructed as an L-shaped channel to adapt to the first end 21 and the second end 24 of the limit member 2. In this way, the weight of the limit member 2 can be reduced and the depth of the opening of the cover body 1 can be reduced, thereby reducing costs.

[0041] In some other practicable embodiments, in order to guide the first spring 27, the first elastic member 25 further includes a first guide column 26, the first spring 27 is sleeved on the first guide column 26, and the first guide column 26 is fixedly connected to the second end 24. The first guide column 26 can be constructed as an injection-molded cylinder extending in the first direction, the first spring 27 is sleeved on the first guide column 26, the first connection end of the first spring 27 can be fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the accommodating groove 11 in the first direction, and the second connection end of the first spring 27 can be fixedly connected to the second end 24. When the stopper 2 is in the initial state, the first spring 27 is in a compressed state, the length of the first spring 27 in the compressed state is greater than or equal to the length of the first guide column 26 in the first direction, and the first spring 27 can provide sufficient elastic force toward the stopper 2 in the first direction, so that when the stopper 2 is in the working state, it can extend out of the accommodating groove 11 along the first direction under the action of the elastic force and press the acquisition module 5 on the battery cell 4.

[0042] In some practicable embodiments, in order to facilitate limiting the relative position of the limiting member 2 and the containing groove 11 in the first direction, as Figure 3-Figure 6 As shown, the battery cover assembly also includes a button mechanism 3 that cooperates with the limiter 2, and the button mechanism 3 is used to limit the relative position of the limiter 2 in the receiving groove 11 in the first direction. For example, the limiter 2 may include an initial state and a working state, and the button mechanism 3 includes a locked state and an unlocked state, wherein, when the limiter 2 is in the initial state, the limiter 2 can be locked by the button mechanism 3 in the locked state, and the limiter 2 is restricted from moving in the first direction, so that the limiter 2 is disposed in the receiving groove 11 as a whole, and when the limiter 2 is in the working state, that is, the limiter 2 needs to extend from the receiving groove 11, the button mechanism 3 is in the unlocked state, that is, the button mechanism 3 is unlocked from the limiter 2, so that the limiter 2 can extend along the extension direction of the receiving groove 11 and press the collection module 5 on the battery cell 4.

[0043] It can be understood that the above-mentioned method of providing elastic force through the first elastic member 25 so that the limiting member 2 can extend out of the accommodating groove 11 and press the collection module 5 on the battery cell 4 is schematic. In other embodiments, a clamping protrusion can be provided on the limiting member 2, and a corresponding clamping groove can be provided in the accommodating groove 11, so that the limiting member 2 can extend out of the accommodating groove 11 and press the collection module 5 on the battery cell 4 through the cooperation of the clamping protrusion and the clamping groove. For example, the limiting member 2 is provided with two clamping protrusions in the first direction, and the clamping protrusion can be in the third direction. Telescopic upward, the receiving groove 11 is provided with three spaced-apart snap-in grooves in the first direction. In the initial position, the limiter 2 is located in the receiving groove 11 as a whole, and the snap-in protrusion cooperates with the two snap-in grooves located on the inner side, so that the limiter 2 is located in the receiving groove as a whole. In the extended position, the two snap-in protrusions on the limiter 2 can cooperate with the two snap-in grooves on the outer side of the snap-in groove, so that the limiter 2 extends out of the receiving groove 11 and locks and presses the acquisition module 5 on the battery cell 4, wherein the inner side is far from the first end of the limiter 2, and the outer side is close to the first end of the limiter 2. It should be noted that the snap-in protrusion mentioned in this embodiment can be an elastic pin, and the specific structure is not repeated in this disclosure.

[0044] In some practicable embodiments, in order to facilitate limiting the relative position of the limiting member 2 and the containing groove 11 in the first direction, as Figure 3-Figure 6As shown, the battery cover assembly also includes a button mechanism 3 that cooperates with the limiter 2, and the button mechanism 3 is used to limit the relative position of the limiter 2 in the receiving groove 11 in the first direction. For example, the limiter 2 may include an initial state and a working state, and the button mechanism 3 includes a locked state and an unlocked state, wherein, when the limiter 2 is in the initial state, the limiter 2 can be locked by the button mechanism 3 in the locked state, and the limiter 2 is restricted from moving in the first direction, so that the limiter 2 is disposed in the receiving groove 11 as a whole, and when the limiter 2 is in the working state, that is, the limiter 2 needs to extend from the receiving groove 11, the button mechanism 3 is in the unlocked state, that is, the button mechanism 3 is unlocked from the limiter 2, so that the limiter 2 can extend along the extension direction of the receiving groove 11 and press the collection module 5 on the battery cell 4.

[0045] In order to facilitate the button mechanism 3 to limit the movement of the limiter 2 in the first direction, in some practicable ways, the limiter 2 may be provided with a clamping portion 23, and the button mechanism 3 may be provided with a matching portion 31 that matches the clamping portion 23, and the matching portion 31 is configured to be able to move along the second direction so that the matching portion 31 and the clamping portion 23 cooperate to limit the limiter 2 in the receiving groove 11, and the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other. For example, the clamping portion 23 may be a first rectangular block extending along the second direction, and the matching portion 31 may also be a second rectangular block extending along the second direction. When the limiter 2 is in the initial state, the second rectangular block moves along the second direction and contacts the first rectangular block to stop the limiter 2 in the first direction, so that the limiter 2 can be located in the receiving groove 11 as a whole. When the limiter 2 needs to be in the working state, the second rectangular block moves in the opposite direction along the second direction so that the second rectangular block is separated from the first rectangular block, so that the limiter 2 can move along the first direction to extend out of the receiving groove 11 and press the acquisition module 5 on the battery cell 4.

[0046] In order to facilitate the cooperation between the matching portion 31 and the clamping portion 23, in some practicable embodiments, the limiting member 2 further includes a groove 22 extending along the first direction and opening along the third direction. Figure 3 The X direction is shown, and the third direction can be found in Figure 3 In the Z direction shown, the groove 22 can pass through the limit member 2 in the second direction, and the clamping portion 23 of the limit member 2 is arranged in the groove 22, and the matching portion 31 extends into the groove 22 and abuts against the clamping portion 23. Therefore, the setting of the groove 22 can not only provide space for the clamping portion 23 and the matching portion 31 to cooperate, so that the clamping portion 23 and the matching portion 31 cooperate to facilitate limiting the relative position of the limit member 2 and the accommodating groove 11 in the first direction, but also can reduce the weight of the limit member 2, reduce the cost and facilitate pressing the collection module 5 on the battery cell 4 under the elastic force of the first elastic member 25.

[0047] Optionally, in order to facilitate the position-limiting member 2 to be restored from the working state to the switching state, in some practicable embodiments, a side of the matching portion 31 facing the first end 21 is provided with an inclined surface extending toward the first end 21, so that the projection of the matching portion 31 in the second direction is trapezoidal. In this way, when the position-limiting member 2 is in the initial state, the matching portion 31 moves along the third direction, and the inclined surface of the matching portion 31 abuts against the clamping portion 23, thereby limiting the movement of the position-limiting member 2 along the first direction through the matching portion 31, so that the position-limiting member 2 is located as a whole in the accommodating groove 11. When the position-limiting member 2 is in the initial state, the matching portion 31 moves along the third direction, and the inclined surface of the matching portion 31 abuts against the clamping portion 23. 2 is in the working state, the matching portion 31 continues to move along the third direction to separate the matching portion 31 from the clamping portion 23, so that the limiting member 2 can extend out of the accommodating groove 11 along the first direction and press the acquisition module 5 on the battery cell 4, and when the limiting member 2 needs to be restored from the working state to the initial state, the limiting member 2 can be pushed in the reverse direction to move toward the accommodating groove 11, so that the limiting member 2 contacts and crosses the inclined surface first so that the matching portion 31 abuts against the limiting member 2 again, so that the limiting member 2 moves as a whole into the accommodating groove 11 to restore the initial state.

[0048] In order to prevent the limit member 2 from escaping from the accommodating groove 11, in some feasible embodiments, the cover body 1 is also provided with a stop member 12, which is arranged away from the first end 21 and extends into the groove 22 along the second direction. The stop member 12 can also be constructed as a rectangular block. The stop member 12 is deeply inserted into the groove 22 to prevent the limit member 2 from completely extending out of the accommodating groove 11 along the first direction.

[0049] In order to facilitate the matching portion 31 to move in the second direction and match with the clamping portion 23, in some practicable embodiments, the button mechanism 3 includes a movable member 33, the matching portion 31 is arranged on the movable member 33, and the movable member 33 slides a preset distance along the third direction so that the matching portion 31 is separated from the clamping portion 23. When the movable member 33 slides a preset distance along the third direction to stop the locking position, the matching portion 31 is clamped with the clamping portion 23, so that the button mechanism 3 locks the limiting member 2 to move in the first direction and is clamped in the accommodating groove 11. When the movable member 33 slides in the opposite direction to disengage from the locking position, the button mechanism 3 is unlocked from the limiting member 2, and the limiting member 2 can extend along the accommodating groove 11 and press the collection module 5 on the battery cell 4.

[0050] In order to facilitate the sliding of the movable member 33 in the third direction, in some practicable embodiments, the button mechanism 3 further includes a support member 32 connected to the cover body 1, and the movable member 33 is sleeved on the support member 32 and can slide relative to the support member 32 in the third direction. For example, the support member 32 can be constructed as an injection-molded cylinder, the movable member 33 can be constructed as a cylindrical body sleeved on the injection-molded cylinder, the bottom end of the support member 32 can be fixedly connected to the cover body 1, the movable member 33 is sleeved on the support member 32 and has a locking position, when the movable member 33 slides along the third direction for a preset distance to stop the locking position, the matching portion 31 is engaged with the clamping portion 23, so that the button mechanism 3 locks the limit member 2 to move in the first direction and is clamped in the accommodating groove 11, when the movable member 33 slides in the reverse direction to leave the locking position, the button mechanism 3 is unlocked from the limit member 2, and the limit member 2 can extend along the accommodating groove 11 and press the collection module 5 on the battery cell 4.

[0051] In order to facilitate the installation of the matching portion 31 and the matching and snapping with the snap-on portion 23, in some practicable embodiments, a mounting groove 13 connected to the accommodating groove 11 is further provided on the cover body 1. The mounting groove 13 provides an installation space for the matching portion and the movable member 33, so that the mounting groove 13 can guide the matching portion 31 into the accommodating groove 11 to match with the snap-on portion 23. Specifically, the mounting groove 13 is provided on the cover body 1 and includes a first mounting segment 131, a second mounting segment 132 and a third mounting segment 133. The first mounting segment 131 extends along the third direction and includes a mounting groove and a mounting channel. The mounting groove is used to provide an installation space for placing the support member 32 and the movable member 33. The mounting channel is used to provide an installation space for the matching portion 31. Thus, the initial assembly of the button mechanism 3 and the cover body 1 can be achieved through the first mounting segment 131. The second mounting segment 132 is respectively connected to the first mounting segment 131 and the third mounting segment 133. The second mounting segment 132 is arc-shaped so as to pass through the first mounting segment 131. The matching portion 31 rotates with the movable member 33, and the third mounting section 133 extends along the third direction and communicates with the accommodating groove 11. At this time, the matching portion 31 after passing through the second mounting section 132 enters the accommodating groove 11 through the third mounting section 133, and then the limiting member 2 is installed in the accommodating groove 11. At this time, the position of the matching portion 31 in the third direction is lower than the clamping portion 23 in the limiting member 2, and the matching portion 31 is moved in the reverse direction so that the matching portion 31 abuts against the inner side wall of the groove 22 of the limiting member 2 and the clamping portion 23 abuts against the inclined surface of the matching portion 31. In this way, the limiting member 2 is arranged as a whole in the accommodating groove 11 through the matching portion 31 and the clamping portion 23.

[0052] In order to facilitate the matching portion 31 to move along the third direction and abut against the inner side wall of the groove 22, in some practicable embodiments, a second elastic member 34 is provided between the movable member 33 and the support member 32. The second elastic member 34 can be a second spring sleeved on the outer periphery of the support member 32. The movable member 33 is provided with an inner cavity for accommodating the second spring. The second spring provides elastic force to the movable member 33 in the third direction so that when the matching portion 31 is in the locked state, the first side wall of the matching portion 31 abuts against the inner side wall of the groove 22. The second side wall of the matching portion 31 that is perpendicular to the first side wall abuts against the inclined surface of the snap-connecting portion 23. In this way, when the button mechanism 3 needs to be unlocked, the assembled movable part 33 is pressed to separate the matching portion 31 from the snap-connecting portion 23 in the limiting member 2. At this time, the limiting member 2 can extend out of the accommodating groove 11 and press the collection module 5 of the battery cell 4. When the button mechanism 3 needs to be locked, the limiting member 2 is pushed back into the accommodating groove 11, and the snap-connecting portion 23 of the limiting member 2 moves in the opposite direction to cross the inclined surface of the matching portion 31.
