[0032] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0033] As Figures 1 to 10 shown, the circuit board assembly of the battery includes: a control module 10 integrated on a first circuit board 30, and a power module 20 integrated on a second circuit board 40. The first circuit board 30 is provided with a first stepped structure 310, and the second circuit board 40 is provided with a second stepped structure 410. The first stepped structure 310 is connected to the second stepped structure 410 so that the first circuit board 30 is connected to the second circuit board 40. After the first stepped structure 310 is connected to the second stepped structure 410, the sum of the thicknesses at the connection is L1. The thickness of the remaining part of the first circuit board 30 except the first stepped structure 310 is L2, and the thickness of the remaining part of the second circuit board 40 except the second stepped structure 410 is L3, satisfying: L1 < L2 + L3.

[0034] In the embodiment of the present application, since the control module 10 is integrated on the first circuit board 30 and the power module 20 is integrated on the second circuit board 40, the first circuit board 30 can be connected to the second circuit board 40, thereby forming a battery management system of the battery. And the control module 10 and the power module 20 can communicate through the first circuit board 30 and the second circuit board 40. Since the first circuit board 30 is provided with the first stepped structure 310 and the second circuit board 40 is provided with the second stepped structure 410, and the first stepped structure 310 is connected to the second stepped structure 410, the first stepped structure 310 can be connected to the second stepped structure 410, realizing the connection between the first circuit board 30 and the second circuit board 40, and ensuring that communication can be carried out between the control module 10 and the power module 20. In addition, L1 < L2 + L3, so that it can be ensured that after the first stepped structure 310 is connected to the second stepped structure 410, at the connection between the first stepped structure 310 and the second stepped structure 410, thickness optimization is performed, avoiding the problem that the thickness of the connection is too large, resulting in a large thickness of the circuit board assembly. That is, in the embodiment of the present application, by integrating the control module 10 on the first circuit board 30 and the power module 20 on the second circuit board 40, and connecting the first circuit board 30 and the second circuit board 40, a battery management system is formed. And according to actual needs, the first circuit board 30 and the second circuit board 40 can be separated, so that the control module 10 and the first circuit board 30 can be reused, and the power module 20 and the second circuit board 40 can be selected according to actual needs. That is, in the embodiment of the present application, the reuse of the control module 10 and the first circuit board 30 can be realized, reducing waste, and L1 < L2 + L can ensure that the thickness of the circuit board assembly is small, and further making the space occupied by the circuit board assembly small.

[0035] In the related art, the control module 10 and the power module 20 in the battery management system are integrated on the same circuit board assembly. Therefore, in practical applications, when the power module 20 needs to be adjusted, only the control module 10 and the power module 20 can be adjusted simultaneously. That is, in the related art, the control module 10 cannot be reused, resulting in waste and increased costs. In the embodiment of the present application, by integrating the control module 10 on the first circuit board 30 and the power module 20 on the second circuit board 40, and connecting the first circuit board 30 and the second circuit board 40, the specific solution of the control module 10 and the size of the first circuit board 30 can be fixed according to actual needs. When the power module 20 needs to be adjusted, the first circuit board 30 and the second circuit board 40 can be separated, and the power module 20 and the second circuit board 40 can be replaced to realize the reuse of the control module 10 and the first circuit board 30, achieving the effects of cost savings and waste reduction.

[0036] It should be noted that the control module 10 may include multiple control components, and multiple control components can be welded on the first circuit board 30, so that the control module 10 is integrated on the first circuit board 30; the power module 20 may also include multiple power components, and multiple power components can also be welded on the second circuit board 40, so that the power module 20 is integrated on the second circuit board 40.

[0037] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, both the first circuit board 30 and the second circuit board 40 can be printed circuit board assemblies (Printed Circuit Board, PCB).

[0038] In addition, in some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, a first pad 301 is provided on the first step structure 310, and a second pad 401 is provided on the second step structure 410. The first pad 301 and the second pad 401 are welded to connect the first circuit board 30 and the second circuit board 40.

[0039] Since the first pad 301 is provided on the first stepped structure 310 and the second pad 401 is provided on the second stepped structure 410, when the first circuit board 30 needs to be connected to the second circuit board 40, the first pad 301 and the second pad 401 can be directly soldered to achieve the connection between the first circuit board 30 and the second circuit board 40. Moreover, by soldering the first pad 301 and the second pad 401, communication can be enabled between the first circuit board 30 and the second circuit board 40, thereby enabling communication between the control module 10 and the power module 20. That is, by providing the first pad 301 on the first stepped structure 310 and the second pad 401 on the second stepped structure 410, the connection between the first circuit board 30 and the second circuit board 40 can be facilitated, and communication between the control module 10 and the second power module 20 can be ensured.

[0040] It should be noted that the shape of the first pad 301 can be set according to actual needs. For example, the shape of the first pad 301 is circular, or for another example, the shape of the first pad 301 is square. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this here. Additionally, the shape of the second pad 401 can also be set according to actual needs. For example, the shape of the second pad 401 is circular, or for another example, the shape of the second pad 401 is square. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this here.

[0041] In addition, in some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the first circuit board 30 has a first surface 31, and a first slot 311 is provided on the first surface 31. The bottom of the first slot 311 and the first surface 31 form the first stepped structure 310. The second circuit board 40 has a second surface 41, and a second slot 411 is provided on the second surface 41. The bottom of the second slot 411 and the second surface 41 form the second stepped structure 410; the first pad 301 is provided at the bottom of the first slot 311, the second pad 401 is provided at the bottom of the second slot 411, and the bottom of the first slot 311 faces the bottom of the second slot 411 to solder the first pad 301 and the second pad 401.

[0042] Since the bottom of the first slot 311 on the first circuit board 30 forms a step with the first surface 31, and the bottom of the second slot 411 on the second circuit board 40 forms a step with the second surface 41, the first pad 301 can be disposed at the bottom of the first slot 311, and the second pad 401 can be disposed at the bottom of the second slot 411. Thus, when the first pad 301 and the second pad 401 are welded, the bottom of the first slot 311 can face the bottom of the second slot 411, so that the first pad 301 and the second pad 401 are welded. Moreover, the first slot 311 and the second slot 411 will at least partially overlap, such that after the first pad 301 and the second pad 401 are welded, the thickness of the first circuit board 30 and the second circuit board 40 at the welding position of the first pad 301 and the second pad 401 is small, avoiding the problem that the thickness of the battery's circuit board assembly is large after the first circuit board 30 and the second circuit board 40 are connected by welding the first pad 301 and the second pad 401, which ultimately leads to poor utilization of the internal space of the battery. That is, by providing the first slot 311 on the first circuit board 30, the second slot 411 on the second circuit board 40, with the first pad 301 disposed at the bottom of the first slot 311 and the second pad 401 disposed at the bottom of the second slot 411, the thickness of the first circuit board 30 and the second circuit board 40 at the welding position of the first pad 301 and the second pad 401 can be small after the first pad 301 and the second pad 401 are welded.

[0043] It should be noted that the first slot 311 can be a counterbore, and the second slot 411 can also be a counterbore.

[0044] In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, the number of the first slots 311 can be set according to actual needs. For example, as Figure 6 shown, the number of the first slots 311 is 1. At this time, the first step structure 310 is equivalent to a first-level step. Again, for example, as Figure 9 shown, the number of the second slots is 2. At this time, the first step structure 310 is equivalent to a second-level step. The specific number of the first slots 311 is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. In addition, the number of the second slots 411 can be set according to actual needs. For example, as Figure 7 shown, the number of the first slots 311 is 1. At this time, the second step structure 410 is equivalent to a first-level step. Again, for example, as Figure 10 shown, the number of the second slots is 2. At this time, the second step structure 410 is equivalent to a second-level step. The specific number of the second slots 411 is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0045] In addition, in some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the second circuit board 40 further has a third surface 42 opposite to the second surface 41, the first circuit board 30 further has a fourth surface 32 opposite to the first surface 31, the third surface 42 is flush with the first surface 31, and the second surface 41 is flush with the fourth surface 32.

[0046] Since the third surface 42 is flush with the first surface 31 and the second surface 41 is flush with the fourth surface 32, after the first circuit board 30 and the second circuit board 40 are welded through the first pad 301 and the second pad 401, the thickness of the first circuit board 30 and the second circuit board 40 at the welding position of the first pad 301 and the second pad 401 can be made equal to their respective thicknesses. The sum of the thicknesses of the first circuit board 30 and the second circuit board 40 at the welding position of the first pad 301 and the second pad 401 is equal to the thickness of the remaining positions of the first circuit board 30, and is also equal to the thickness of the remaining positions of the second circuit board 40. That is, by setting the third surface 42 to be flush with the first surface 31 and the second surface 41 to be flush with the fourth surface 32, the thickness of the first circuit board 30 and the second circuit board 40 at the welding position of the first pad 301 and the second pad 401 will not increase additionally. Furthermore, when the circuit board assembly of the battery is applied to the battery, it will not additionally occupy the internal size of the battery.

[0047] In addition, in some embodiments, the number of the first pads 301 and the number of the second pads 401 are both multiple. The multiple first pads 301 are arranged in an array, and the multiple second pads 401 are arranged in an array.

[0048] Since the multiple first pads 301 and the multiple second pads 401 are both arranged in an array, when the first pad 301 and the second pad 401 are welded, one first pad 301 can be welded to one second pad 401, so that the first circuit board 30 and the second circuit board 40 are firmly connected, and it is beneficial for the control module 10 on the first circuit board 30 to communicate with the power module 20 on the second circuit board 40. That is, by setting the multiple first pads 301 and the multiple second pads 401 to be both arranged in an array, the firmness of the connection between the first circuit board 30 and the second circuit board 40 can be effectively ensured, and the stability of the communication between the control module 10 and the power module 20 can be ensured.

[0049] It should be noted that the number of the first pads 301 and the number of the second pads 401 can both be set according to actual needs. For example, the number of the first pads 301 is 10, and the number of the second pads 401 is 10. For another example, the number of the first pads 301 is 15, and the number of the second pads 401 is 15. The specific number of the first pads 301 and the specific number of the second pads 401 are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0050] In addition, in some embodiments, such asFigure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in Figure 2 , the control module 10 is integrated at a position on the first surface 31 other than the first slot 311, and the power module 20 is integrated on the third surface 42.

[0051] Since the control module 10 is integrated at a position on the first surface 31 other than the first slot 311, and the power module 20 is integrated on the third surface 42, and the first surface 31 and the third surface 42 face the same direction, it is equivalent to that the control module 10 and the power module 20 are on the same side. Furthermore, when the circuit board assembly of the battery is arranged in the battery, it can avoid the problem that components are integrated on both sides of the battery board, resulting in more space occupied by the circuit board assembly in the battery and being unfavorable for improving the space utilization rate of the battery. That is, by integrating the control module 10 at a position on the first surface 31 other than the first slot 311 and integrating the power module 20 on the third surface 42, the space utilization rate inside the battery can be effectively improved when the circuit board assembly is arranged in the battery.

[0052] In addition, in some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, a nickel sheet 50 is arranged on the second circuit board 40, and the nickel sheet 50 is used to electrically connect the ear of the battery cell of the battery.

[0053] Since the nickel sheet 50 is arranged on the second circuit board 40, after the circuit board assembly is installed in the battery, the nickel sheet 50 can be connected to the ear of the battery cell, which is equivalent to that the battery cell is connected to the battery management system, and then the battery management system can control and manage the battery cell. That is, by arranging the nickel sheet 50 on the second circuit board 40, it is convenient for the battery management system to connect the battery cell when the circuit board assembly is applied to the battery, so as to control and manage the battery cell.

[0054] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the nickel sheet 50 can be welded on the second circuit board 40, so that the nickel sheet 50 can be electrically connected to the power module 20 through the second circuit board 40, so that the information of the power module 20 can be transmitted to the nickel sheet 50 and then transmitted to the battery cell.

[0055] In addition, in some embodiments, as Figure 3 shown, the nickel sheet 50 is welded on the third surface 42. Through such a setting, it is equivalent to that the nickel sheet 50 and the power module 20 are on the same side. At this time, the power module 20, the control module 10 and the nickel sheet 50 are on the same side, so that when the circuit board assembly is applied to the battery, it can avoid the problem that devices are arranged on both sides of the circuit board assembly, resulting in a large space occupied by the circuit board assembly in the battery. That is, by integrating the nickel sheet 50 on the third surface 42, the space utilization rate inside the battery can be effectively improved when the circuit board assembly is arranged in the battery.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, since the control module 10 is integrated on the first circuit board 30 and the power module 20 is integrated on the second circuit board 40, the first circuit board 30 and the second circuit board 40 can be connected to form a battery management system of the battery, and the control module 10 and the power module 20 can communicate through the first circuit board 30 and the second circuit board 40. Since the first circuit board 30 is provided with a first step structure 310 and the second circuit board 40 is provided with a second step structure 410, and the first step structure 310 is connected to the second step structure 410, the first step structure 310 and the second step structure 410 can be connected to realize the connection between the first circuit board 30 and the second circuit board 40, ensuring that communication can be carried out between the control module 10 and the power module 20. In addition, L1 < L2 + L3, so that after the first step structure 310 and the second step structure 410 are connected, at the connection between the first step structure 310 and the second step structure 410, thickness optimization is equivalent, avoiding the problem that the thickness of the connection is too large, resulting in a large thickness of the circuit board assembly. That is, in the embodiment of the present application, by integrating the control module 10 on the first circuit board 30 and the power module 20 on the second circuit board 40, the first circuit board 30 and the second circuit board 40 are connected to form a battery management system, and according to actual needs, the first circuit board 30 and the second circuit board 40 can be separated, so that the control module 10 and the first circuit board 30 can be reused, and the power module 20 and the second circuit board 40 can be selected according to actual needs. That is, in the embodiment of the present application, the reuse of the control module 10 and the first circuit board 30 can be realized, reducing waste, and L1 < L2 + L can ensure that the thickness of the circuit board assembly is small, and further making the space occupied by the circuit board assembly small.
