[0032] The following is combined with Figure 1 to Figure 5 The utility model is further described in detail, but it is not intended to limit the utility model.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of the utility model, the soft-pack battery structure includes a battery cell body 1, a supporting edge seal 3, at least one first side edge seal 4 and at least one second side edge seal 2; the battery cell body 1 is connected to a surface of the supporting edge seal 3; the first side edge seal 4 is connected to one side end of the supporting edge seal 3, and is folded toward one side of the battery cell body 1; the second side edge seal 2 includes a side folding portion 22 and an inward folding portion 21 connected to the side folding portion 22; the side folding portion 22 is connected to the other side end of the supporting edge seal 3, and is folded toward the other side of the battery cell body 1; one end of the inward folding portion 21 is folded between one side of the battery cell body 1 and the first side edge seal 4.

[0034] The technical solution of the utility model can avoid the surface unevenness of the soft-pack battery structure caused by the outward protrusion and extension of the inward folded portion of the second side edge seal, thereby effectively reducing the occupied volume of the soft-pack battery structure, improving the compactness and stability of the structure, and effectively improving the energy density of the battery body and improving the endurance of the battery body; in addition, the outer edge packaging effect of the battery body by the supporting edge seal, the first side edge seal and the second side edge seal can improve the protection of the battery body, so as to promote the safety performance of the soft-pack battery structure; thereby improving the performance and stability of the soft-pack battery structure.

[0035] Wherein, in some embodiments, Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the number of the first side edge seal 4 is one, and it is connected to the upper end surface of the supporting edge seal 3; the number of the second side edge seal 2 is two, and they are respectively connected to the two side end surfaces of the supporting edge seal 3; and the second side edge seal 2 is located on the left and right sides of the first side edge seal 4. In other embodiments (not shown in the figure), the number of the first side edge seal 4 is two, and they are respectively connected to the upper and lower end surfaces of the supporting edge seal 3; the number of the second side edge seal 2 is two, and they are respectively connected to the two side end surfaces of the supporting edge seal 3; and the second side edge seal 2 is located on the left and right sides of the first side edge seal 4.

[0036] Specifically, in some embodiments, Figure 1 and 2As shown, the first side edge seal 4 includes an abutting portion 401 and a flip contact portion 402 connected to the abutting portion 401; the abutting portion 401 is connected to the folded inward folding portion 21; and the flip contact portion 402 is folded and arranged on one side of the battery body 1. In other words, the first side edge seal 4 assembled with the inward folding portion 21 and the battery body 1 in sections can ensure the orderliness of the lead-out of the positive or negative electrode of the battery cell and the stability of the assembly.

[0037] Specifically, in some embodiments, Figure 1 and 2 As shown, a pole ear structure 41 is provided at one end of the first side edge seal 4 away from the supporting edge seal 3; and the pole ear structure 41 includes a first connecting section 411 and a second connecting section 412 connected to the first connecting section 411; and the first connecting section 411 is connected to the first side edge seal 4; and the second connecting section 412 is folded and connected to one side of the battery body 1. By arranging the pole ear structure externally to the first side edge seal 4, the power supply flexibility of the soft-pack battery can be guaranteed.

[0038] Specifically, in some embodiments, Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the relationship between the length L1 of the inward folded portion 21 and the length L2 of the battery body 1 satisfies: L1<L2; wherein L1=1 / 3*L2. And the relationship between the width H1 of the inward folded portion 21 and the width H2 of the battery body 1 satisfies: H1<H2; wherein H2-H1=(0.1~2)mm. This structure improves the compactness of the overall structure and the stability of the structure through the inward folded portion 21 of effective specifications, thereby reducing the occupied volume of the battery and effectively improving the energy density of the battery.

[0039] Specifically, in some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the soft-pack battery structure also includes a buffer pad 5, which is connected to one side of the battery cell body 1 and is arranged between the inward folded portion 21 and the battery cell body 1 and / or between the first side edge seal 4 and the battery cell body 1. That is to say, in one embodiment, the buffer pad 5 is only arranged between the inward folded portion 21 and the battery cell body 1, and a buffering effect is achieved by reserving an assembly gap between the first side edge seal 4 and the battery cell body 1. In another embodiment, the buffer pad 5 is only between the first side edge seal 4 and the battery cell body 1. The risk of the head of the battery cell body falling and failing can be effectively reduced by the buffer pad 5 at the middle end. In another embodiment, the buffer pad 5 is arranged between the inward folded portion 21 and the battery cell body 1 and between the first side edge seal 4 and the battery cell body 1. The buffer pad 5 with multiple sections can increase the coverage of the buffer, thereby improving the protection performance.

[0040] The buffer pad 5 is a rubber pad or a buffer cotton pad, which can reduce the stress of the battery body caused by the drop impact, and can effectively reduce the cost of the structure, thereby improving the performance.

[0041] Specifically, in some embodiments, Figure 4 and 5 As shown, the relationship between the projection area S1 of the buffer pad 5 toward one side of the battery body 1 and the surface area S2 of the one side of the battery body 1 satisfies: S1≤S2. Among them, the relationship between the projection area S3 of the first side seal 4 toward one side of the battery body 1 after folding and the projection area S1 of the buffer pad 5 toward one side of the battery body 1 satisfies: S1≤S3; and S2≤S3. In other words, the compactness of the assembly can be effectively improved by using the relatively smallest buffer pad 5, and the unevenness of the surface of the soft-pack battery structure caused by the extension and exposure of the buffer pad 5 can be avoided. The relatively large first side seal 4 can improve the full coverage protection of one side of the battery body 1 as much as possible; thereby, the compactness of the assembly and the assembly stability of the battery body can be improved.

[0042] Specifically, in some embodiments, the soft-pack battery structure further includes an adhesive component (not shown in the figure), which is bonded between the battery cell body 1 and the buffer pad 5 and / or between the battery cell body 1 and the second side edge seal 2 and / or between the battery cell body 1 and the first side edge seal 4 and / or between the battery cell body 1 and the supporting edge seal 3 and / or between the first side edge seal 4 and the inward folded portion 21. The adhesive component is double-sided tape or UV glue. In other words, the edge seals are bonded and fixed to each other, and the edge seals, buffer pads and battery cell body 1 are bonded and fixed with UV glue or double-sided tape, which can further improve the stability of assembly and ensure the safety and smoothness of use.

[0043] The utility model also proposes an electric device, which includes a soft-pack battery structure. The specific structure of the soft-pack battery structure refers to the above embodiment. Since the electric device 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.

[0044] Among them, the electrical equipment can be vehicles, mobile phones, portable devices, laptops, ships, spacecraft, electric toys and electric tools, etc. Vehicles can be fuel vehicles, gas vehicles or new energy vehicles, and new energy vehicles can be pure electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles or extended-range vehicles, etc.; spacecraft include airplanes, rockets, space shuttles and spacecrafts, etc.; electric toys include fixed or mobile electric toys, such as game consoles, electric car toys, electric ship toys and electric airplane toys, etc.; electric tools include metal cutting electric tools, grinding electric tools, assembly electric tools and railway electric tools, such as electric drills, electric grinders, electric wrenches, electric screwdrivers, electric hammers, impact drills, concrete vibrators and electric planers, etc. The embodiments of the present application do not impose special restrictions on the above-mentioned electrical equipment.

[0045] In addition, it should be understood that although the present specification is described according to implementation modes, not every implementation mode includes only one independent technical solution. This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0046] According to the disclosure and teaching of the above description, the technicians in the field of the utility model can also change and modify the above implementation. Therefore, the utility model is not limited to the above specific implementation, and any obvious improvement, replacement or modification made by the technicians in this field on the basis of the utility model belongs to the protection scope of the utility model.
