[0180] Please refer to Figure 4, according to some embodiments of the present application, the box body 30 includes a first bottom wall 31, the first bottom wall 31 supports the first battery cell 11, and a first flow channel 311 is formed inside the first bottom wall 31, and the first flow channel 311 is used to accommodate a heat exchange medium; a second flow channel 44 is formed inside the bracket 40, and the second flow channel 44 is used to accommodate a heat exchange medium.

[0181] The first flow channel 311 is a channel formed inside the first bottom wall 31 and used for the flow of the heat exchange medium. After the battery device 100 is assembled, the first flow channel 311 can accommodate a heat exchange medium, so as to perform heat exchange with the first battery cell 11 through the first bottom wall 31. For example, when the heat exchange medium is a cooling medium, the low temperature of the heat exchange medium is transmitted to the first battery cell 11 through the first bottom wall 31, which can reduce the temperature of the first battery cell 11. Also, for example, when the heat exchange medium is a heating medium, the high temperature of the heat exchange medium is transmitted to the first battery cell 11 through the first bottom wall 31, which can increase the temperature of the first battery cell 11.

[0182] In some embodiments, the first bottom wall 31 may have good heat conduction performance, so as to facilitate heat exchange between the heat exchange medium and the first battery cell 11.

[0183] The second flow channel 44 is a channel formed inside the bracket 40 and used for the flow of the heat exchange medium. After the battery device 100 is assembled, the second flow channel 44 can accommodate a heat exchange medium, so as to perform heat exchange with the second battery cell 21 through the bracket 40. For example, when the heat exchange medium is a cooling medium, the low temperature of the heat exchange medium is transmitted to the second battery cell 21 through the bracket 40, which can reduce the temperature of the second battery cell 21. Also, for example, when the heat exchange medium is a heating medium, the high temperature of the heat exchange medium is transmitted to the second battery cell 21 through the bracket 40, which can increase the temperature of the second battery cell 21.

[0184] In some embodiments, the bracket 40 may have good heat conduction performance, so as to facilitate heat exchange between the heat exchange medium and the second battery cell 21 through the bracket 40.

[0185] At the same time, since the bracket 40 is located between the first battery cell 11 and the second battery cell 21, the bracket 40 can also adjust the temperature of the first battery cell 11.

[0186] In some embodiments, the heat exchange medium is a fluid, and the heat exchange medium may be, but is not limited to, water, alcohol or other liquid mixtures.

[0187] In the above solution, the first flow channel 311 accommodates a heat exchange medium to facilitate heat exchange between the first bottom wall 31 and the first battery cell 11, thereby regulating the temperature of the first battery cell 11; the second flow channel 44 accommodates a heat exchange medium to facilitate heat exchange between the bracket 40 and the second battery cell 21, thereby regulating the temperature of the second battery cell 21. At the same time, since the bracket 40 is located between the second battery cell 21 and the first battery cell 11, the bracket 40 can also perform heat exchange with the first battery cell 11 to regulate the temperature of the first battery cell 11.
