Generally, the conductive member and the pole column can be connected by riveting. For example, the conductive member is formed with a through hole, and the pole column passes through the through hole and is riveted to the conductive member.
[0086] However, as the number of charge-discharge cycles of the battery cell increases, the battery cell will generate gas due to electrochemical reactions, causing the internal pressure of the battery cell to gradually increase. The internal pressure of the battery cell will act on the electrode terminals, and the conductive member will be impacted and displaced, resulting in loosening of the connection interface between the conductive member and the pole column and generating a gap, leading to the problem of electrolyte leakage, affecting the reliability of the battery cell, and further affecting the reliability of the battery device.
[0087] In view of this, to reduce the risk of electrolyte leakage caused by the loosening of the connection interface between the conductive member and the pole column and generating a gap, some embodiments of the present application provide a battery cell, which includes a housing, a first pole column, and a first insulating member.

The first pole column is installed in the first through hole. At least part of the first insulating member is disposed inside the first wall. Among them, the first insulating member is connected to the first conductive member.
[0088] In the above solution, at least a part of the first insulating member is disposed inside the first wall and the first insulating member is connected to the first conductive member, which can make the structural stability among the first insulating member, the first wall and the first conductive member high, reduce the displacement of the first conductive member to the outside of the first wall due to the internal pressure of the battery cell, and prevent the connection interface between the first conductive member and the first pole from loosening to generate a gap, thereby avoiding the risk of electrolyte leakage. Therefore, the reliability of the battery cell can be effectively improved, and further the reliability of the battery device can be improved.

[0103] In some embodiments, the outer shell 20 can be a sealed structure or a non-sealed structure. As an example, when the outer shell 20 is a non-sealed structure, it only serves to protect the electrode assembly 30. The battery cell 10 includes a seal for encapsulating components such as the electrode assembly 30 and the electrolyte.

For example, if the electrode assembly 30 is a cylindrical structure, the outer shell 20 of a cylindrical structure can be selected. If the electrode assembly 30 is a flat structure, the outer shell 20 can be square. Some embodiments of the present application are described by taking the outer shell 20 as a cylinder as an example.

In some embodiments, the first wall 21 can be part of the housing 22, such as the side wall or the bottom wall of the housing 22. In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 , in some embodiments, the first wall 21 can be the end cap. Optionally, the first wall 21 can be the first end cap.
[0107] In some embodiments, the first wall 21 can be used to carry and support the first electrode terminal 40, and the first electrode terminal 40 can be connected to an external busbar component to realize the input and output of electric energy. The external busbar component can be a tab.

[0109] The first electrode terminal 40 is a component installed on the first wall 21. The first electrode terminal 40 is used to electrically connect to the electrode assembly 30, so that the current flows into or flows out of the first electrode tab through the first electrode terminal 40. The polarity of the first electrode terminal 40 and the first electrode tab is the same. In some embodiments, the first electrode terminal 40 is made of a metal material, for example, made of aluminum, copper, iron, aluminum, steel, alloy or composite metal. In some embodiments, the first electrode terminal 40 can be connected to the first electrode tab through a first current collecting member 90. Exemplarily, the first electrode tab of the electrode assembly 30 is composed of a plurality of first sub-electrode tabs stacked, and one end of the first current collecting member 90 can be welded to the first electrode tab, and then the other end of the first current collecting member 90 can be welded to the first electrode terminal 40, or one end of the first current collecting member 90 can be welded to the first electrode terminal 40, and then the other end of the first current collecting member 90 can be welded to the first electrode tab.
[0110] In some embodiments, the first electrode terminal 40 includes a first conductive member 41 and a first pole 42. At least a portion of the first conductive member 41 is located on the side of the first wall 21 away from the electrode assembly 30. The first conductive member 41 is used to connect to an external current collecting component (e.g., a bar sheet). In some embodiments, the first conductive member 41 is generally plate-shaped and may be a riveted sheet. A portion of the first pole 42 is located inside the housing 20, and the first pole 42 may be electrically connected to the first pole ear of the electrode assembly 30, for example, the first pole 42 is connected to the first pole ear through the first current collecting member 90, and the end of the first pole 42 away from the electrode assembly 30 may be connected to the first conductive portion 412.
[0111] In some embodiments of the present application, the first conductive member 41 has a first through hole 410, and the first through hole 410 can be a riveted hole that penetrates the first conductive member 41 along the first direction z. The first direction z is the thickness direction of the first wall 21. One end of the first pole 42 that is away from the electrode assembly 30 is riveted in the first through hole 410. Optionally, flanges are formed at opposite ends of the first conductive member 41 along the first direction z, respectively, to act on the outer side and the inner side of the first conductive member 41 in the first direction z, thereby limiting the displacement of the first pole 42 relative to the first conductive member 41.
[0112] The first insulating member 60 is an insulating component disposed inside the first wall 21, and can be used to insulate and isolate the electrode assembly 30 and the first wall 21. In some embodiments, a part of the first insulating member 60 may also be located between the first pole 42 and the first through hole 410. Exemplarily, the first insulating member 60 can be made of a material with a relatively high resistance value, such as an organic insulating material, an inorganic insulating material, or a hybrid insulating material, etc. Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, the material of the first insulating member 60 may include an insulating PPS (polyphenylene sulfide) material. In some other embodiments, the first insulating member 60 can also be made of other materials with insulating properties, such as polypropylene, polyethylene, etc.
[0113] "The first insulating member 60 is interconnected with the first conductive member 41" can be understood as that the first insulating member 60 is connected to the inner side of the first wall 21 and is interconnected with the first conductive member 41, enabling the integration of the first insulating member 60, the first wall 21, and the first conductive member 41 into one body, effectively improving the structural stability between the first conductive member 41 and the first wall 21, and thus being able to limit the displacement of the first conductive member 41 in the first direction z.
[0114] The connection relationship between the first insulating member 60 and the first conductive member 41 can be diverse. For example, the first insulating member 60 and the first conductive member 41 can be connected by welding, bonding, snap - fitting, or threaded members. Optionally, a concavo - convex structure is provided between the first insulating member 60 and the first conductive member 41, and the abutting surface of the concavo - convex structure is perpendicular to the first direction z, so as to enable the relative stability of the positional relationship among the first conductive member 41, the first wall 21, and the first insulating member 60 in the first direction z.
[0115] In some embodiments, a part of the first insulating member 60 is located inside the first wall 21, and a part of the first insulating member 60 is located inside the first conductive member 41 and is connected to the first conductive member 41.
[0116] In the above - mentioned solution, at least a part of the first insulating member 60 is disposed inside the first wall 21 and the first insulating member 60 is interconnected with the first conductive member 41, which can make the structural stability among the first insulating member 60, the first wall 21, and the first conductive member 41 high, reducing the risk that the first conductive member 41 displaces outward from the first wall 21 due to the internal pressure of the battery cell 10, resulting in the loosening of the connection interface between the first conductive member 41 and the first pole 42 to generate a gap and thus causing electrolyte leakage. Thereby, the reliability of the battery cell 10 can be effectively improved, and further the reliability of the battery device 100 can be improved.

Along the first direction z, the first portion 61 has an opposite upper surface and a lower surface, and the lower surface faces the electrode assembly 30, and the second portion 62 is disposed on the upper surface.
[0120] "At least a part of the second portion 62 is located between the inner wall of the first through hole 410 and the outer peripheral surface of the first pole 42" can be understood as that all or part of the second portion 62 is located between the inner wall of the first through hole 410 extending into the first through hole 410 and the first pole 42 to insulate and isolate the inner wall of the first through hole 410 and the first pole 42.
[0121] "The second portion 62 is connected to the inner wall of the first through hole 410" can be understood as that the portion of the first insulating member 60 disposed in the first through hole 410 is connected to the first conductive member 41. The connection relationship between the second portion 62 and the inner wall of the first through hole 410 can be diverse. For example, the connection relationship between the second portion 62 and the inner wall of the first through hole 410 includes but is not limited to bonding, welding, clamping or connection by a threaded member.
