[0083] The specific implementation methods of the present application are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0084] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a battery cover 100, which is applied to a battery 200. The battery 200 can be a lithium-ion battery, a nickel-hydrogen battery, a fuel cell, etc.

[0085] The battery 200 includes a shell 10 and a battery cell 40. The shell 10 is provided with an installation cavity 11, and the installation cavity 11 passes through both ends of the shell 10 along the second direction Z, so that both ends of the shell 10 are open. The battery cell 40 is accommodated in the installation cavity 11, and the battery cell 40 can be charged or discharged. The battery cell 40 has a positive terminal 41 and a negative terminal 42, and along the second direction Z, the positive terminal 41 and the negative terminal 42 are respectively arranged at opposite ends of the battery cell 40. The battery cover 100 is used to close both ends of the shell 10 of the battery 200 along the second direction Z, so as to protect the battery cell 40 installed in the shell 10. In addition, the battery cover 100 is also electrically connected to the positive terminal 41 and the negative terminal 42 of the battery cell 40.

[0086] Please also read Figures 4 to 6 The battery cover 100 includes a first cover 20 and a second cover 30. The first cover 20 includes a first pole assembly 22 and a first connector 21, and one end of the first pole assembly 22 is used to connect to one end of the housing 10. The other end of the first pole assembly 22 is inserted into the first connector 21, and the first connector 21 is provided with a first clamping portion 210. The second cover 30 includes a second pole assembly 32 and a second connector 31, and one end of the second pole assembly 32 is used to connect to the other end of the housing 10, so that the two ends of the installation cavity 11 are closed by the first pole assembly 22 and the second pole assembly 32 to protect the battery cell 40 in the housing 10. The other end of the second pole assembly 32 is inserted into the second connector 31, and the second connector 31 is provided with a second clamping portion 310.

[0087] When at least two batteries 200 are arranged along the second direction Z, any two adjacent batteries 200 are connected to each other, and the first engaging portion 210 of one of the two adjacent batteries 200 is used to engage with the second engaging portion 310 of the other battery 200.

[0088] It is worth noting that, for the convenience of subsequent reading, the present application introduces a first direction X, a second direction Z and a third direction Y to describe the embodiments of the present application. The first direction X, the second direction Z and the third direction Y can be three non-parallel linear directions in space; further, the first direction X, the second direction Z and the third direction Y can be three mutually perpendicular directions in a three-dimensional coordinate system (three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system). In the subsequent embodiments, the first direction X is the X-axis direction of the coordinate axis of the three-dimensional coordinate system, the second direction Z is the Z-axis direction of the coordinate axis of the three-dimensional coordinate system, and the third direction Y is the Y-axis direction of the coordinate axis of the three-dimensional coordinate system.

[0089] In this way, the battery cover 100 of the present application is provided with a first engaging portion 210 on the first connector 21 of the first cover 20, and a second engaging portion 310 on the second connector 31 of the second cover 30. When two batteries 200 are arranged along the second direction Z, the first engaging portion 210 of one battery 200 engages with the second engaging portion 310 of the other battery 200, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the two adjacent batteries 200. In addition, the two adjacent batteries 200 are directly connected in series along the second direction Z by engaging the first engaging portion 210 with the second engaging portion 310, and the two adjacent batteries 200 are electrically connected through the first cover 20 and the second cover 30, without the need to provide additional components such as aluminum bars, thereby improving the space utilization of the battery pack 300.

[0090] Please combine again Figures 4 to 6 , and see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the first pole assembly 22 is used to be electrically connected to the battery cell 40 of the battery 200, and the second pole assembly 32 is used to be electrically connected to the battery cell 40 of the battery 200. One of the first pole assembly 22 and the second pole assembly 32 is electrically connected to the positive terminal 41 of the battery cell 40, and the other of the two is electrically connected to the negative terminal 42 of the battery cell 40.

[0091] It is understandable that the polarity of the terminals of the battery cell 40 electrically connected to the first pole assembly 22 and the second pole assembly 32 can be adaptively adjusted according to actual design requirements, and it is only necessary to ensure that the polarity of the terminals of the battery cell 40 electrically connected to the first pole assembly 22 and the second pole assembly 32 are opposite.

[0092] Furthermore, the first connector 21 and the second connector 31 are both made of conductive materials, specifically conductive metal materials such as aluminum. In addition, the first engaging portion 210 is made of the same material as the first connector 21 , and the second engaging portion 310 is made of the same material as the second connector 31 .

[0093] The first connector 21 is electrically connected to the first pole assembly 22, and the second connector 31 is electrically connected to the second pole assembly 32. When the second engaging portion 310 engages with the first engaging portion 210, the second engaging portion 310 and the first engaging portion 210 are in contact to achieve electrical connection between the two, thereby forming a conductive path between the first connector 21 and the second connector 31 of two adjacent batteries 200.

[0094] Please combine again Figures 3 to 6 In one embodiment, the first connecting member 21 is substantially a square plate, and the first connecting member 21 has a first surface P1 and a plurality of first side surfaces P2, and the plurality of first side surfaces P2 surround and connect the first surface P1. The first surface P1 extends along the first direction X, and along the second direction Z, the first surface P1 is disposed on a side of the first connecting member 21 away from the housing 10, and the first engaging portion 210 is a groove formed by being recessed inwardly along the second direction Z on the first surface P1.

[0095] The first engaging portion 210 may be in a regular shape or an irregular shape such as a “T” shape, a rectangle, a semicircle, an arc, etc.

[0096] The second connecting member 31 has a substantially identical shape to the first connecting member 21, and has a second surface P3 and a plurality of second side surfaces P4, the plurality of second side surfaces P4 surrounding and connecting the second surface P3. The second surface P3 extends along the first direction X, and along the second direction Z, the second surface P3 is disposed on a side of the second connecting member 31 away from the housing 10, and the second engaging portion 310 is a protrusion protruding outwardly from the second surface P3 along the second direction Z. The second engaging portion 310 is integrally formed with the second connecting member 31.

[0097] The shape of the second engaging portion 310 matches the shape of the first engaging portion 210 to ensure stability when the second engaging portion 310 is engaged with the first engaging portion 210 .

[0098] When two batteries 200 are docked along the second direction Z, the second engaging portion 310 of one battery 200 is clamped in the first engaging portion 210 of the adjacent battery 200. At this time, along the third direction Y, the outer surface of at least one side of the second engaging portion 310 abuts against the inner surface of at least one side of the first engaging portion 210, so that the second engaging portion 310 is limited in the first engaging portion 210, and the position between the two adjacent batteries 200 in the third direction Y is limited. In addition, when the second engaging portion 310 is clamped in the first engaging portion 210, the outer wall of the second engaging portion 310 can be connected to the inner wall of the first engaging portion 210 by welding, so as to further improve the stability of the two adjacent batteries 200 when docking.

[0099] It is understandable that when other embodiments are adopted, a convex block may be provided on the first surface P1, the first engaging portion 210 is a hole groove provided on the side of the convex block away from the first surface P1, and the second engaging portion 310 is held in the hole groove. Alternatively, an extension block is provided on the first side surface P2 of the first connecting member 21 and the second side surface P4 of the second connecting member 31, the first engaging portion 210 is provided on the extension block of the first connecting member 21, and the second engaging portion 310 is provided on the extension block of the second connecting member 31. The positions of the first engaging portion 210 and the second engaging portion 310 can be adaptively selected according to actual design requirements, and in addition to the above three structures, the first engaging portion 210 and the second engaging portion 310 can also adopt a combination of two of the above three structures.

[0100] Please combine again Figures 4 to 8 In one embodiment, the extension direction of the first engaging portion 210 is parallel to the first direction X. Along the first direction X, the extension length of the first engaging portion 210 is less than the extension length of the first connecting member 21. The extension direction of the second engaging portion 310 is parallel to the first direction X. Along the first direction X, the extension length of the second engaging portion 310 is less than or equal to the extension length of the second connecting member 31.

[0101] Along the second direction Z, the ratio of the depth of the first engaging portion 210 to the thickness of the first connecting member 21 is less than or equal to 3 / 4. Along the third direction Y, the ratio of the width of the first engaging portion 210 to the width of the first connecting member 21 is less than or equal to 5 / 24.

[0102] In some embodiments, along the first direction X, the length of the first connecting member 21 is 120 mm. Along the second direction Z, the thickness of the first connecting member 21 is 4 mm. Along the third direction Y, the width of the first connecting member 21 is 24 mm. The groove depth of the first engaging portion 210 is less than or equal to 3 mm, and the groove depth of the first engaging portion 210 can be 1 mm, 2 mm, or 3 mm. The groove width of the first engaging portion 210 is less than or equal to 5 mm, and the groove width of the first engaging portion 210 can be 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, or 5 mm. Along the first direction X, the extension length of the first engaging portion 210 is less than 120 mm.

[0103] Along the second direction Z, the ratio of the protruding length of the second engaging portion 310 to the thickness of the second connecting member 31 is less than or equal to 3 / 4. Along the third direction Y, the ratio of the width of the second engaging portion 310 to the width of the second connecting member 31 is less than or equal to 5 / 24.

[0104] In some embodiments, along the first direction X, the length of the second connecting member 31 is 115 mm. Along the second direction Z, the thickness of the second connecting member 31 is 4 mm. Along the third direction Y, the width of the second connecting member 31 is 24 mm. The protruding length of the second engaging portion 310 is less than or equal to 3 mm, and the protruding length of the second engaging portion 310 can be 1 mm, 2 mm, or 3 mm. The width of the second engaging portion 310 is less than or equal to 5 mm, and the width of the second engaging portion 310 can be 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, or 5 mm. Along the first direction X, the extension length of the second engaging portion 310 is less than 115 mm.

[0105] It is worth noting that the groove depth of the first engaging portion 210 is greater than or equal to the protruding length of the second engaging portion 310 to ensure that when two adjacent batteries 200 are docked, the first surface P1 of one battery 200 abuts against the second surface P3 of the other battery 200.

[0106] Specifically, when the groove depth of the first engaging portion 210 is the same as the protruding length of the second engaging portion 310, when the second engaging portion 310 is held in the first engaging portion 210, the end surface of the second engaging portion 310 away from the second surface P3 abuts against the bottom wall of the first engaging portion 210. When the groove depth of the first engaging portion 210 is greater than the protruding length of the second engaging portion 310, the end surface of the second engaging portion 310 away from the second surface P3 is spaced from the bottom wall of the first engaging portion 210, and electrical connection between the two is achieved only by the outer surface of the second engaging portion 310 contacting the inner surface of the first engaging portion 210.

[0107] Furthermore, the surface of the first engaging portion 210 on one side of the first connecting member 21 along the third direction Y is recessed inwardly along the third direction Y. Along the third direction Y, the outer surface of one side of the second engaging portion 310 is coplanar with the surface of one side of the second connecting member 31 along the third direction Y.

[0108] Specifically, along the third direction Y, one side of the first engaging portion 210 extends to a first side surface P2, so that the first engaging portion 210 is located at the connection between a first side surface P2 and the first surface P1 of the first connecting member 21. Along the third direction Y, one side of the second engaging portion 310 extends to a second side surface P4, so that the second engaging portion 310 is located at the connection between a second side surface P4 and the second surface P3 of the second connecting member 31. In this way, when the second engaging portion 310 is clamped in the first engaging portion 210, along the third direction Y, the outer wall of one side of the second engaging portion 310 abuts against the inner wall of the first engaging portion 210, and the outer wall of the other side of the second engaging portion 310 is exposed to the first connecting member 21, so as to facilitate welding the second engaging portion 310 in the first engaging portion 210.

[0109] It is worth noting that along the third direction Y, the width of the first locking portion 210 is greater than or equal to the width of the second locking portion 310, so that the second locking portion 310 can be completely retained in the first locking portion 210, ensuring that the second locking portion 310 does not exceed the first connecting member 21 in the third direction Y.

[0110] It is understandable that, when other embodiments are adopted, the extension directions of the first engaging portion 210 and the second engaging portion 310 may be parallel to the third direction Y or other directions.

[0111] Please combine again Figures 4 to 8 In one embodiment, the number of the first locking portions 210 is set to two, and along the third direction Y, the two first locking portions 210 are arranged at opposite ends of the first surface P1, and along the third direction Y, the two first locking portions 210 both extend to the first side surface P2 adjacent thereto, so that a protruding portion 212 is formed between the two first locking portions 210.

[0112] The number of the second engaging portions 310 is set to two, and the two second engaging portions 310 are respectively arranged at opposite ends of the second surface P3 along the third direction Y, and the two second engaging portions 310 are extended to the second side surface P4 adjacent thereto along the third direction Y. The two second engaging portions 310 are arranged corresponding to the two first engaging portions 210, and each first engaging portion 210 accommodates one second engaging portion 310.

[0113] In this way, when the two batteries 200 are docked, the protruding portion 212 is clamped between the two second clamping portions 310, and along the third direction Y, the side walls on the opposite sides of the protruding portion 212 respectively abut against the two adjacent side walls of the two second clamping portions 310, thereby achieving complete positioning of the second cover plate 30 where the two second clamping portions 310 are located in the third direction Y by the protruding portion 212.

[0114] It is understandable that, when other embodiments are adopted, the number of the first engaging portions 210 may also be set to three or more, and the three or more first engaging portions 210 may all extend along the first direction X, or the three or more first engaging portions 210 may all extend along the third direction Y, or a portion of the three or more first engaging portions 210 may extend along the first direction X, and the remaining portion may extend along the third direction Y. The number and extension direction of the first engaging portions 210 and the second engaging portions 310 may be adaptively selected according to actual design requirements.

[0115] In particular, the edges of the notches of the two first engaging portions 210 are both provided with first chamfers R1, and the right angle side corresponding to the first chamfers R1 is less than 3 mm. The first chamfers R1 provided on the first engaging portion 210 can guide the second engaging portion 310 to be clamped in the first engaging portion 210. In addition, the provision of the first chamfers R1 forms a first guide surface M1 on the inner wall of the first engaging portion 210 on one side close to the other first engaging portion 210, and the first guide surface M1 extends downward and outwardly obliquely from the first surface P1, thereby guiding the two second engaging portions 310 to be clamped in the corresponding first engaging portion 210 respectively through the two first guide surfaces M1.

[0116] Correspondingly, the top of the surface of the adjacent side of the two second engaging portions 310 is provided with a second chamfer R2, and the shape and size of the second chamfer R2 are adapted to the first chamfer R1. The second chamfer R2 provided on the second engaging portion 310 forms a second guide surface M2 on the outer surface of the second engaging portion 310 close to the other second engaging portion 310. The second guide surface M2 extends downward and inwardly obliquely from the end thereof away from the second surface P3. In addition, when the second engaging portion 310 is clamped in the first engaging portion 210, the second guide surface M2 is attached to the first guide surface M1.

[0117] Please combine again Figure 4 and Figure 7 In one embodiment, the first cover plate 20 is provided with a conductive portion 23, and the conductive portion 23 is provided on the first connecting member 21. Along the first direction X, the conductive portion 23 is integrally formed at one end of the first surface P1 of the first connecting member 21.

[0118] The conductive part 23 is made of the same material as the first connector 21, and is electrically connected to the first connector 21. The conductive part 23 is used to be electrically connected to a voltage detection unit 60. The voltage detection unit 60 is electrically connected to the conductive part 23 through a conductive wire or a circuit board, so that the voltage of the battery 200 where the conductive part 23 is currently located is measured by the voltage detection unit 60.

[0119] In particular, the shape and size of the conductive portion 23 are not limited in the present application and can be adaptively selected according to actual design requirements.

[0120] It is understandable that, when other embodiments are adopted, the first cover plate 20 may not be provided with the conductive portion 23 , and the voltage detection unit 60 is directly electrically connected to the first connector 21 via a conductive wire or a circuit board.

[0121] Please combine again Figures 7 to 10 , and see Figure 2In one embodiment, the first connection member 21 is provided with a first through hole 213, and the first through hole 213 extends inward from the first surface P1 along the second direction Z to penetrate the first connection member 21. An end of the first pole component 22 away from the housing 10 is at least partially connected to the first through hole 213, and the first pole component 22 is welded to the inner wall of the first through hole 213 by a welding process, so that the first pole component 22 and the first connection member 21 maintain electrical connection.

[0122] Furthermore, the first pole assembly 22 includes a first mounting plate 221, a first conductive member 222, a second mounting plate 223, and a first pole 224. The first mounting plate 221 and the second mounting plate 223 are both made of insulating materials such as plastic, and the first conductive member 222 is made of conductive materials such as aluminum.

[0123] The first pole 224 includes a connecting portion 2241 and a pole portion 2242. The connecting portion 2241 is a sheet-like structure, and the pole portion 2242 is a cylindrical structure. The pole portion 2242 is integrally formed with the connecting portion 2241, and the connecting portion 2241 and the pole portion 2242 are both made of conductive materials such as aluminum. The number of pole portions 2242 is one, two, or three. When the number of pole portions 2242 is two or three, the pole portions 2242 are arranged at intervals along the first direction X.

[0124] Along the second direction Z, the connecting portion 2241, the second mounting plate 223, the first conductive member 222, and the first mounting plate 221 are sequentially arranged, and any two adjacent ones of the connecting portion 2241, the second mounting plate 223, the first conductive member 222, and the first mounting plate 221 are connected to each other. The pole portion 2242 is protrudingly arranged on a side of the connecting portion 2241 close to the second mounting plate 223, and the pole portion 2242 passes through the second mounting plate 223, the first conductive member 222, and the first mounting plate 221 sequentially.

[0125] Specifically, the first mounting plate 221 is provided with a third through hole 2210, the first conductive member 222 is provided with a fourth through hole 2220, and the second mounting plate 223 is provided with a fifth through hole 2230. One end of the pole portion 2242 away from the connecting portion 2241 passes through the fifth through hole 2230, the fourth through hole 2220, and the third through hole 2210 in sequence and then extends into the first through hole 213. The number of the fifth through hole 2230, the fourth through hole 2220, the third through hole 2210, and the first through hole 213 is the same as the number of the pole portion 2242.

[0126] It is worth noting that the pole portion 2242 is riveted into the first through hole 213 after passing through the fifth through hole 2230 , the fourth through hole 2220 , and the third through hole 2210 , and the pole portion 2242 is connected to the inner wall of the first through hole 213 by welding.

[0127] In addition, a mounting groove 2211 is formed on the end surface of the first mounting plate 221 away from the first conductive member 222, and the first connector 21 is clamped in the mounting groove 2211. The second mounting plate 223 is connected to the end of the housing 10 to close the mounting cavity 11. The connecting portion 2241 is located in the mounting cavity 11 and is electrically connected to the battery cell 40.

[0128] Furthermore, the second connecting member 31 is provided with a second through hole 311, and the second through hole 311 extends inward from the second surface P3 along the second direction Z to penetrate the second connecting member 31. One end of the second pole component 32 away from the housing 10 is at least partially connected to the second through hole 311, and the second pole component 32 is welded to the inner wall of the second through hole 311 by a welding process, so that the second pole component 32 and the second connecting member 31 maintain electrical connection.

[0129] The second pole assembly 32 includes a third mounting plate 321, a second conductive member 322, a fourth mounting plate 323, and a second pole 324. Along the second direction Z, the third mounting plate 321, the second conductive member 322, and the fourth mounting plate 323 are sequentially arranged, and the fourth mounting plate 323 is connected to the end of the housing 10 to close the mounting cavity 11. The second connecting member 31 is connected to a side of the third mounting plate 321 away from the fourth mounting plate 323, and the second pole 324 is sequentially penetrated through the fourth mounting plate 323, the second conductive member 322, and the third mounting plate 321.

[0130] The third mounting plate 321, the second conductive member 322, the fourth mounting plate 323, and the second pole 324 have the same structure, material, and principle as the first mounting plate 221, the first conductive member 222, the second mounting plate 223, and the first pole 224 in the first pole assembly 22, and are not described again.

[0131] Please combine again Figures 7 to 11 In one embodiment, the end surface of the first pole 224 away from the second pole 324 is coplanar with the first surface P1, and the end surface of the second pole 324 away from the first pole 224 is coplanar with the second surface P3. When two batteries 200 are arranged along the second direction Z, the first surface P1 of one battery 200 abuts against the second surface P3 of the other battery 200 to form a current channel, and the first pole 224 of one battery 200 abuts against the second pole 324 of the other battery 200 to form a current channel, so that there is a larger contact surface between the two batteries 200 to improve the current transmission efficiency and avoid heating caused by too small a contact area.

[0132] It is understandable that, when other embodiments are adopted, the end surface of the first pole 224 away from the second pole 324 is located in the first through hole 213, and the end surface of the second pole 324 away from the first pole 224 passes through the second through hole 311 and exceeds the second surface P3. The distance between the end surface of the first pole 224 away from the second pole 324 and the first surface P1 is the same as the distance that the end surface of the second pole 324 away from the first pole 224 exceeds the second surface P3, ensuring that when the two batteries 200 are docked, the first pole 224 and the second pole 324 are in abutment.

[0133] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present application further provides a battery 200, which includes the above-mentioned shell 10, the above-mentioned battery cell 40, and the above-mentioned battery cover 100. Along the second direction Z, the first cover 20 and the second cover 30 are respectively connected to the opposite ends of the shell 10 to close the opposite ends of the installation cavity 11.

[0134] The battery 200 provided in the present application has the battery cover 100 , and thus has the advantages of the battery cover 100 of reducing the space occupied by the multiple batteries 200 when spliced ​​together and improving the stability of the multiple batteries 200 when spliced ​​together.

[0135] like Fig.11 As shown, the embodiment of the present application further provides a battery pack 300, comprising at least two of the above-mentioned batteries 200. Along the second direction Z, at least two batteries 200 are arranged in sequence, and at least two batteries 200 are connected to each other. The battery pack 300 includes a box body 50, and a cavity is opened in the box body 50, and a plurality of batteries 200 are arranged in the cavity.

[0136] Furthermore, a plurality of batteries 200 arranged in sequence along the second direction Z constitute a group of batteries 200 , and the battery pack 300 has a plurality of groups of batteries 200 . Along the third direction Y, the plurality of groups of batteries 200 are arranged in parallel, and two adjacent groups of batteries 200 can be electrically connected.

[0137] The battery pack 300 provided in the present application has a plurality of the above-mentioned batteries 200 , and thus has the advantages of the above-mentioned batteries 200 in that the space occupied by the plurality of batteries 200 when spliced ​​is reduced and the stability of the plurality of batteries 200 when spliced ​​is improved.

[0138] In the above, the specific embodiments of the present application are described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes and substitutions may be made to the specific embodiments of the present application without departing from the scope of the present application.
