[0032] Specifically, the outer surface of the flame retardant colloid 303 is fixedly connected to a sealing frame 302, the lower surface of the sealing frame 302 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting shell 1, and the outer surface of the connecting shell 1 is fixedly connected to a sealing cover 307, wherein the flame retardant colloid 303 is made of trialkylphosphine oxide material, and a through hole 308 is opened on the upper surface of the sealing cover 307 corresponding to the position of the battery pack body 5, and the inner wall of the through hole 308 is fixedly connected to a pressure relief valve 306 and a temperature sensor 305, and the upper surface of the sealing cover 307 is fixedly connected to the protective shell 301, and a fireproof cover 304 is arranged below the temperature sensor 305 and the pressure relief valve 306, and the outer surface of the fireproof cover 304 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the through hole 308.

[0033] Further, the flame retardant in the flame retardant colloid 303 decomposes at high temperature to produce gas, which increases the pressure and pressure inside the sealing frame 302. When the temperature of the battery pack body 5 is too high, the temperature sensor 305 reaches the threshold and transmits information to the battery manager to stop the battery pack body 5 from working. At the same time, the pressure relief valve 306 will automatically start to release part of the gas, reduce the internal pressure, and prevent the sealing frame 302 from exploding.

[0034] Example 2
