For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific situations.

[0036] Reference will be made below to Figure 1 - Figure 2 describe a battery cell 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model. The terminal posts of the battery cell 100 do not protrude from the end face of the battery cell 100, which is beneficial to reducing the space occupied by the terminal posts outside the battery cell 100, and can also reduce the space design for avoiding the terminal posts, reduce the setting difficulty, and improve the volume utilization rate of the battery module 1000.

[0037] As Figure 1 - Figure 2 shown, a battery cell 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes: a housing 1 and a wound core 2.

[0038] A receiving cavity is formed inside the outer shell 1. The outer shell 1 is formed with a first groove area 113 and a second groove area 114 that are spaced apart. Among them, the first groove area 113 and the second groove area 114 are formed by recessing on the outer surface of the outer shell 1. For example, both the first groove area 113 and the second groove area 114 can be arranged on the end face of the outer shell 1, or both can be arranged on the side surface of the outer shell 1, or one can be arranged on the side surface of the outer shell 1 and the other can be arranged on the end face of the outer shell 1. The setting method is flexibly selectable and can be set in different forms, which is beneficial to meeting different types of installation requirements.

[0039] The winding core 2 is installed in the receiving cavity, that is, the winding core 2 is located inside the outer shell 1, so that the outer shell 1 can play a protective role for the winding core 2, which is beneficial to the winding core 2 to perform discharge and charge functions in a relatively enclosed environment inside the outer shell 1, and ensure the safety and reliability of the battery cell 100.

[0040] The winding core 2 is provided with a first pole piece 21 and a second pole piece 22. A first pole column 115 connected to the first pole piece 21 is provided in the first groove area 113, and a second pole column 119 connected to the second pole piece 22 is provided in the second groove area 114. Among them, one of the first pole column 115 and the second pole column 119 is a positive pole column and the other is a negative pole column, and one of the first pole piece 21 and the second pole piece 22 is a positive pole piece and the other is a negative pole piece. And in actual connection, the positive pole column can be connected to the positive pole piece, and the negative pole column can be connected to the negative pole piece. For example, in specific design, the first pole column 115 can be set as the positive pole column, the first pole piece 21 can be set as the positive pole piece, the second pole column 119 can be set as the negative pole column, and the second pole piece 22 can be set as the negative pole piece.

[0041] That is to say, by setting the first groove area 113 and arranging the first pole column 115 in the first groove area 113, at least part of the first pole column 115 can be located in the first groove area 113. For example, the lower end of the first pole column 115 is located in the first groove area 113 or the whole is located in the first groove area 113, so that the first pole column 115 will not occupy too much space outside the battery cell 100 and reduce the overall size of the battery cell 100. Similarly, by setting the second groove area 114 and arranging the second pole column 119 in the second groove area 114, at least part of the second pole column 119 can be located in the second groove area 114. For example, the lower end of the second pole column 119 is located in the second groove area 114 or the whole is located in the second groove area 114, so that the second pole column 119 will not occupy too much space outside the battery cell 100 and reduce the overall size of the battery cell 100.

[0042] Thus, both the positive electrode terminal and the negative electrode terminal can be disposed within the corresponding groove regions, eliminating the need to provide additional space outside the battery cell 100 for avoiding the positive electrode terminal or the negative electrode terminal. This significantly reduces the structural size of the battery cell 100. Moreover, when assembling multiple battery cells 100, it is beneficial to improve the overall space utilization rate of the battery module 1000, greatly enhancing the energy density of the battery cell 100.

[0043] In some embodiments, the height of the first terminal 115 is less than or equal to the depth of the first groove region 113 in the height direction of the first terminal 115. That is, the height of the first terminal 115 can be set to be less than the depth of the first groove region 113 or equal to the depth of the first groove region 113, such that the first terminal 115 does not protrude from the surface where the first groove region 113 is located. As Figure 1 shown, the first groove region 113 is formed at the top of the housing 1, and the vertical height of the first terminal 115 is less than the vertical depth of the first groove region 113, so that the first terminal 115 is received within the first groove region 113, thereby preventing the first terminal 115 from additionally occupying the space outside the battery cell 100 and facilitating the reduction of the structural size of the battery cell 100.

[0044] And / or, in some embodiments, the height of the second terminal 119 is less than or equal to the depth of the second groove region 114 in the height direction of the second terminal 119. That is, the height of the second terminal 119 can be set to be less than the depth of the second groove region 114 or equal to the depth of the second groove region 114, such that the second terminal 119 does not protrude from the surface where the second groove region 114 is located. As Figure 1 shown, the second groove region 114 is formed at the top of the housing 1, and the vertical height of the second terminal 119 is less than the vertical depth of the second groove region 114, so that the second terminal 119 is received within the second groove region 114, thereby preventing the second terminal 119 from additionally occupying the space outside the battery cell 100 and facilitating the reduction of the structural size of the battery cell 100.

[0045] Thus, both the first terminal 115 and the second terminal 119 are located within the corresponding groove regions, such that neither the first terminal 115 nor the second terminal 119 occupies additional installation space. For example, when assembling the battery cell 100, as Figure 1 shown, neither the first terminal 115 nor the second terminal 119 additionally occupies the space above the battery cell 100, facilitating the reduction of the vertical installation space of the battery cell 100. Similarly, there is no need to provide space at the top of the battery cell 100 for avoiding the terminals, greatly reducing the overall structural size of the battery module 1000 and facilitating the improvement of the energy density of the battery.

[0046] In some embodiments, the housing 1 has a first side surface 116, and both the first groove region 113 and the second groove region 114 are located on the first side surface 116. That is, both the first groove region 113 and the second groove region 114 can be formed on the same side of the battery cell 100, so that both the first pole 115 and the second pole 119 are located on the same side of the battery cell 100. In this way, it is not only beneficial to process and form the first groove region 113 and the second groove region 114 on the same side of the battery cell 100, reducing the forming difficulty, but also the first pole 115 and the second pole 119 being on the same side facilitates the electrical connection between multiple battery cells 100, improving the installation efficiency.

[0047] Specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the first side surface 116 can be the upper side surface on the outside, that is, both the first groove region 113 and the second groove region 114 can be arranged on the top of the battery cell 100, realizing the concentrated arrangement of the two groove regions and reducing the arrangement difficulty.

[0048] In some embodiments, the first groove region 113 and the second groove region 114 are respectively located at the two end corners of the first side surface 116, realizing the dispersed forming of the first groove region 113 and the second groove region 114. Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, the first groove region 113 is arranged at the left end corner of the top of the battery cell 100, and the second groove region 114 is arranged at the right end corner of the top of the battery cell 100, so as to facilitate the electrical connection of the poles at the ends of different battery cells 100. As Figure 3 - Figure 7 shown, the positive and negative poles of adjacent two battery cells 100 can be connected by the connecting piece 200 arranged at the end, and the operation is convenient.

[0049] At the same time, it should be noted that when the first groove region 113 and the second groove region 114 are respectively located at the two end corners of the first side surface 116, the first groove region 113 and the second groove only have two processing surfaces, namely one bottom surface and one side surface. That is, compared with the three processing surfaces arranged in the middle region, the processing difficulty is reduced, which is beneficial to improving the forming efficiency of the battery cell 100 and reducing the design cost.

[0050] In some embodiments, the first side surface 116 is also provided with an explosion-proof valve 117 and a liquid injection hole 118. The explosion-proof valve 117 and the liquid injection hole 118 are located between the first groove region 113 and the second groove region 114. In this way, the explosion-proof, liquid injection and pole connection of the battery cell 100 are all located on the same side of the battery cell 100, which is more conducive to operating on the same side of the battery cell 100 and reducing the operation difficulty.

[0051] Specifically, as Figure 1As shown, the explosion-proof valve 117 and the liquid injection hole 118 are located on the top surface of the battery cell 100 and are between the first groove area 113 and the second groove area 114. For example, the explosion-proof valve 117 is arranged close to the first groove area 113, and the liquid injection hole 118 is arranged close to the second groove area 114, so that a relatively large separation area is formed between the explosion-proof valve 117 and the liquid injection hole 118, avoiding functional interference between explosion-proof and liquid injection, and improving the rationality of the structural arrangement.

[0052] In some embodiments, the housing 1 includes a housing body 12 and a top cover 11. The top cover 11 is connected to the housing body 12 to define a receiving cavity. Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, the housing body 12 forms an upwardly open receiving groove, and the top cover 11 is connected to the top of the housing body 12 to close the open end of the receiving groove, thereby jointly defining the receiving cavity. Among them, the top cover 11 can be detachably connected to the housing body 12 so that the receiving cavity can be selectively opened. And during actual installation, the wound core 2 can be loaded into the receiving groove from above the housing body 12 and at the open end of the receiving groove, and then the top cover 11 is connected to the top of the housing body 12 to close the receiving groove, so that the wound core 2 can be in a relatively closed receiving cavity, ensuring the stable structural state of the wound core 2.

[0053] Both the first groove area 113 and the second groove area 114 are formed on the top cover 11. That is, a recessed structure can be provided on the top cover 11 to form the first groove area 113 and the second groove area 114. In this way, during actual installation, both the first pole 115 and the second pole 119 can be installed on the top cover 11. At the same time, as Figure 2 shown, an extended connecting portion 13 is provided on the tops of the first pole 115 and the second pole 119. The connecting portion 13 can be connected and fixed to the corresponding pole piece, and then the top cover 11 is fixedly connected to the housing body 12, so that the pole and the pole piece form an effective electrical connection, with a simple structure and convenient installation.

[0054] In some embodiments, the top cover 11 includes a main body section 111 and two bent sections 112. The two bent sections 112 are respectively connected to both ends of the main body section 111. Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, the main body section 111 is configured as a long strip, and both bent sections 112 are configured as L-shaped, and the upper ends of the bent sections 112 are connected to the ends of the main body section 111, so that the bent sections 112 form an outwardly open groove area at the ends of the main body section 111.

[0055] At the same time, two installation notches 121 are formed at both ends of the top of the housing body 12, and the inner shapes of the two installation notches 121 are adapted to the shapes of the bent sections 112.

[0056] Thus, during actual installation, the main body section 111 is connected to the middle area at the top of the housing 12, so that the main body section 111 closes the middle area at the top of the receiving groove. The two bent sections 112 are respectively located at the two installation notches 121, so that the two bent sections 112 respectively close the two end areas at the top of the receiving groove, thereby making the battery cell 100 configured as a closed structure.

[0057] Among them, the first groove area 113 and the second groove area 114 are respectively formed on the two bent sections 112, that is, the first pole 115 and the second pole 119 are respectively installed on the two bent sections 112. Among them, the bent section 112 includes a vertical part and a horizontal part. The first pole 115 and the second pole 119 are installed on the horizontal part of the corresponding bent section 112, and the first pole 115 and the second pole 119 are both set to be less than the height of the vertical part, so that the first pole 115 is located inside the first groove area 113 and the second pole 119 is located inside the second groove area 114, realizing a compact setting of the structure of the battery cell 100 with a simple structure.

[0058] The present utility model also proposes a battery module 1000.

[0059] The battery module 1000 according to the embodiment of the present utility model includes the battery cell 100 of any one of the above embodiments. Among them, there are multiple battery cells 100, and the multiple battery cells 100 are stacked and distributed in sequence along the thickness direction, and a heat insulation plate 300 is provided between adjacent two battery cells 100. As Figure 3 - Figure 7 shown, the thickness direction of the battery cell 100 is along the horizontal direction, which can enable the multiple battery cells 100 to be stacked and distributed along the horizontal direction, and as Figure 7 shown, adjacent two battery cells 100 are separated by a partition board to prevent the heat of the battery cells 100 from diffusing to each other. Especially when a single battery cell 100 is out of control thermally, the partition board can prevent the thermally out-of-control battery cell 100 from diffusing heat to other battery cells 100, greatly improving the overall safety of the battery module 1000.

[0060] Among them, after the multiple battery cells 100 are stacked and assembled, the pole of each battery cell 100 is located in the corresponding groove area and does not protrude from the side of the battery cell 100, so that the overall structural size of the battery module 1000 is smaller. As Figure 6 shown, the pole is located in the corresponding groove area, which can make the vertical height of the battery module 1000 smaller and more compact, improving the space utilization rate.

[0061] In some embodiments, the battery module 1000 further includes a connecting piece 200. The first pole column 115 of one battery cell 100 and the second pole column 119 of another adjacent battery cell 100 are connected by the connecting piece 200. Specifically, among two adjacent battery cells 100, the positive pole column of one battery cell 100 and the negative pole column of another battery cell 100 are electrically connected by the connecting piece 200, so that multiple battery cells 100 can be sequentially connected in series as a whole through the connecting piece 200.

[0062] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, a connecting piece 200 is provided at the end of two adjacent battery cells 100. Among them, the connecting piece 200 located at one end of a battery cell 100 is used to electrically connect the first pole column 115 of this battery cell 100 and the second pole column 119 of an adjacent battery cell 100 on the left, and the connecting piece 200 located at the other end of the battery cell 100 is used to electrically connect the second pole column 119 of this battery cell 100 and the first pole column 115 of an adjacent battery cell 100 on the right, so as to realize the electrical connection of each battery cell 100. And as Figure 3 and Figure 6 shown, after each battery cell 100 is stacked and installed, the first groove area 113 and the second groove area 114 of each battery cell 100 form an integral groove at the top corner of the battery module 1000. After the connecting pieces 200 connect the pole columns, the connecting pieces 200 are located in the integral groove, that is, the connecting pieces 200 do not need to occupy additional installation space, greatly reducing the occupation of the external space by the battery module 1000 and making the overall structure of the battery module 1000 more compact.

[0063] The present utility model also proposes a vehicle.

[0064] The vehicle according to the embodiment of the present utility model includes the battery module 1000 of any one of the above embodiments. Among them, by setting the battery module 1000, the overall space occupied by the battery cells 100 of the battery module 1000 is relatively small. Especially when applied to the whole vehicle, the vertical height of the battery module 1000 is greatly reduced, and further the occupation of the vertical space of the battery module 1000 on the vehicle is reduced, which is beneficial to realizing the reasonable layout of the battery module 1000 in the whole vehicle and achieving compact installation.

[0065] In the description of this specification, the descriptions referring to terms such as "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "schematic embodiments", "examples", "specific examples", or "some examples", etc. mean that the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in connection with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present utility model. In this specification, the schematic expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described can be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0066] Although the embodiments of the present utility model have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present utility model, and the scope of the present utility model is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
