It is only necessary to ensure that the sheet-like body 511 and the bent portion 512 can respectively contact and conduct electricity with the wall of the connecting socket 32. The specific connection method can be selected arbitrarily according to actual needs, and the present disclosure does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0067] In the present disclosure, the battery may further include a conductive connector 7, the circuit board 3 is provided with a mounting hole, the conductive connector 7 is fixed in the mounting hole, the positive electrode column 12 is passed through the conductive connector 7 and is in conductive contact with the conductive connector 7, so that the conductive connector 7 is provided to realize the connection between the positive electrode column 12 and the circuit board 3.

[0068] In the specific implementations provided in the present disclosure, the conductive connector 7 can be designed in any suitable manner according to actual needs. Fig.11 As shown, the conductive connector 7 may include a hollow body 71, an overlap flange 72 and a limit flange 73. The hollow body 71 is formed with a channel for the positive pole 12 to pass through.

The hollow body 71 is arranged in the mounting hole, and the overlap flange 72 and the limit flange 73 are respectively overlapped on two opposite surfaces of the circuit board 3.

[0070] In the present disclosure, the electrical device may be any suitable electrical device such as a mobile phone, a portable device, a laptop computer, a vehicle (such as a fuel vehicle, a gas vehicle, or a new energy vehicle, etc.), and the present disclosure does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0071] refer to Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the specific implementation principle of the embodiment of the present disclosure is: when the battery is in use, the shell 11 as a whole serves as the negative electrode of the battery cell 1, and the positive electrode post 12 as the positive electrode of the battery cell 1 extends from the end of the shell 11 where an opening is provided. At this time, the circuit board 3 is arranged close to the positive electrode post 12 and is directly electrically connected to the positive electrode post 12 to achieve electrical connection with the positive electrode of the battery cell 1. Since the shell 11 as a whole serves as the negative electrode of the battery cell 1, in order to save the production cost of the battery, the set shell 2 can be arranged to contact the area of ​​the shell 11 close to the positive electrode post 12 (i.e., the annular contact surface 111), thereby achieving electrical connection between the set shell 2 and the shell 11 of the battery cell 1. In this case, the axial dimension of the set shell 2 can be designed to be smaller, which can save the production cost of the battery, and the set shell 2 is arranged at one end of the shell 11 of the battery cell 1, which can shorten the radial dimension of the battery and improve the energy density of the battery. Specifically, the casing 2 is directly in contact with the annular contact surface 111 in the outer shell 11 to achieve conduction, and then the lead-out piece 23 is welded to the circuit board 3 to achieve conduction from the casing 2 to the circuit board 3, and the positive pole 12 is plugged into the conductive connector 7 located on the circuit board 3, so that the positive and negative poles of the battery cell 1 are connected and conducted with the circuit board 3 respectively, and further, the positive terminal 5 is connected to the circuit board 3 through the connection between the connecting piece 51 and the connecting socket 32, and when the battery needs to be charged, the charging interface 6 provided on the circuit board 3 charges the battery. In addition, the support frame 4 provided in the casing 2 can not only support the circuit board 3 and the positive terminal 5 respectively, but also achieve insulation protection between the positive terminal 5 and the casing 2.

[0072] The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings; however, the present disclosure is not limited to the specific details in the above embodiments. Within the technical concept of the present disclosure, a variety of simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0073] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the present disclosure will not further describe various possible combinations.

[0074] In addition, various embodiments of the present disclosure may be arbitrarily combined, and as long as they do not violate the concept of the present disclosure, they should also be regarded as the contents disclosed by the present disclosure.
