[0069] In some embodiments, the separator is a solid electrolyte. The solid electrolyte is disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and simultaneously functions to transport ions and isolate the positive and negative electrodes.
[0070] In some embodiments, the electrode assembly is a wound structure. The positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet are wound into a wound structure.

[0078] The development of battery device technology needs to consider various design factors simultaneously. For example, performance parameters such as discharge capacity and charge-discharge rate. In addition, the energy density of the battery device also needs to be considered.
[0079] In some embodiments, the battery device includes a box body, a bracket, a first battery cell assembly, and a second battery cell assembly. The bracket divides the internal space of the box body into a first accommodation space and a second accommodation space. The first battery cell assembly is accommodated in the first accommodation space, and the second battery cell assembly is accommodated in the second accommodation space. In order to support the bracket, usually a boss is provided on the inner surface of the wall portion of the box body that encloses the first accommodation space. The boss is provided on the wall portion perpendicular to the stacking direction of the first battery cells of the first battery cell assembly. The bracket is connected to the boss, thereby realizing the assembly and fixation of the bracket. However, the setting of the boss occupies a part of the space in the first accommodation space, resulting in a low utilization rate of the first accommodation space and affecting the energy density of the battery device.
[0080] In view of this, in order to reduce the problem that the connection and fixation position of the bracket occupies the first accommodation space, resulting in a low energy density of the battery device, the present application provides a battery device, which includes a box body, a bracket, a first locking member, a second locking member, a first battery cell assembly and a second battery cell assembly. The box body includes a bottom wall, a first expansion beam and a second expansion beam. The first expansion beam and the second expansion beam are arranged at intervals along a first direction, and the first expansion beam and the second expansion beam are respectively connected to the bottom wall; the bracket is arranged in the box body and divides the internal space of the box body into a first accommodation space and a second accommodation space on both sides of the bracket. The first accommodation space and the second accommodation space are arranged along a second direction, and the second direction intersects the first direction; the first locking member is arranged along the second direction, and the bracket is connected to the first expansion beam through the first locking member; the second locking member is arranged along the second direction, and the bracket is connected to the second expansion beam through the second locking member; the first battery cell assembly includes a plurality of first battery cells stacked along the first direction. The first battery cell assembly is arranged in the first accommodation space, and the first battery cell assembly is arranged between the first expansion beam and the second expansion beam, and the bottom wall supports the first battery cell assembly; the second battery cell assembly includes a plurality of second battery cells stacked along the first direction. The second battery cell assembly is arranged in the second accommodation space, and the bracket supports the second battery cell assembly; the bracket includes a support wall, a third expansion beam and a fourth expansion beam. The support wall is located between the first battery cell assembly and the second battery cell assembly. The third expansion beam and the fourth expansion beam are arranged opposite to each other along the first direction and are respectively connected to the support wall. The support wall supports the second battery cell assembly, and the second battery cell assembly is arranged between the third expansion beam and the fourth expansion beam; the fourth expansion beam has a first end face facing away from the bottom wall and a second end face facing the bottom wall. Along the second direction, the second locking member penetrates through the first end face and the second end face and is connected to the second expansion beam, and the size of the second locking member is larger than the size of the fourth expansion beam.
[0081] In such a battery device, the inner space of the box body is divided into a first accommodation space and a second accommodation space by a bracket. The first accommodation space and the second accommodation space are arranged along a second direction. The first battery cell assembly is accommodated in the first accommodation space, and the second battery cell assembly is accommodated in the second accommodation space, which can improve the space utilization rate inside the box body in the second direction, so that more battery cells can be arranged in the battery device in the second direction, and the battery device has a higher energy density. The first expansion beam and the second expansion beam are arranged on both sides of the first battery cell assembly along a first direction, so as to facilitate restricting the expansion and deformation of the first battery cell assembly through the first expansion beam and the second expansion beam. The bracket is connected to the first expansion beam through a first locking member, and the bracket is connected to the second expansion beam through a second locking member. Using the first expansion beam and the second expansion beam to support the bracket can reduce the space occupation of the connection and fixing position of the bracket in the first accommodation space between the first expansion beam and the second expansion beam. For example, there is no need to provide a structure for connecting with the bracket in the direction perpendicular to both the first direction and the second direction of the box body, so that more active materials can be arranged in the first accommodation space between the first expansion beam and the second expansion beam, making the battery device have a higher energy density. Moreover, both the first locking member and the second locking member are arranged along the second direction, further reducing the space occupation of the connection and fixing position of the bracket in the first accommodation space between the first expansion beam and the second expansion beam, making the battery device have a higher energy density. The support wall supports the second battery cell assembly, provides positioning support for the second battery cell assembly, and reduces the risk of the second battery cell assembly moving inside the box body. The third expansion beam and the fourth expansion beam are arranged opposite to each other along the first direction and are respectively connected to the support wall. The second battery cell assembly is arranged between the third expansion beam and the fourth expansion beam, so as to facilitate restricting the expansion and deformation of the second battery cell assembly through the third expansion beam and the fourth expansion beam, thereby improving the reliability of the battery device. The size of the second locking member along the second direction is larger than the size of the fourth expansion beam. The second locking member penetrates through the fourth expansion beam in the second direction and then is connected to the second expansion beam, which can utilize the space inside the fourth expansion beam, reduce the space occupation of the second locking member on both sides of the fourth expansion beam along the first direction, and further improve the space utilization rate inside the battery device and the energy density of the battery device. At the same time, the second locking member and the fourth expansion beam have a large connection area, making the connection between the second locking member and the fourth expansion beam reliable and improving the connection reliability between the fourth expansion beam and the second expansion beam.

The support wall 21 supports the second battery cell assembly 60, and the second battery cell assembly 60 is disposed between the third expansion beam 22 and the fourth expansion beam 23. The fourth expansion beam 23 has a first end face 23a facing away from the bottom wall 11 and a second end face 23b facing the bottom wall 11.

[0109] The third expansion beam 22 and the fourth expansion beam 23 are arranged at intervals along the first direction X, and the third expansion beam 22 and the fourth expansion beam 23 cooperate to absorb the expansion force of the second battery cell assembly 60.
[0110] The materials of the third expansion beam 22 and the fourth expansion beam 23 can be metals, such as steel, aluminum alloy, etc., which have relatively high strength; the materials of the first expansion beam 12 and the second expansion beam 13 can both be resin fiber composite materials, which have relatively light weight and low cost.

[0116] The dimension of the second locking member 40 along the second direction Z is greater than that of the fourth expansion beam 23 along the second direction Z. The second locking member 40 has a larger dimension in the second direction Z so as to facilitate passing through the fourth expansion beam 23 and connecting with the second expansion beam 13. A part of the second locking member 40 can be accommodated in the fourth expansion beam 23, making rational use of the space inside the fourth expansion beam 23. The overall dimension of the fourth expansion beam 23 in the first direction X can be designed to be smaller, without the need to additionally provide a space for accommodating the second locking member 40 in the first direction X inside the box body 10, which is beneficial to improving the space utilization rate inside the box body 10 in the first direction X and facilitating the improvement of the energy density of the battery device 100.
[0117] In some embodiments, the fourth expansion beam 23 is connected to the support wall 21 in the first direction X, and the second end face 23b is connected to the second expansion beam 13.

[0118] According to the battery device 100 of the embodiment of the present application, the inner space of the box body 10 is divided into a first accommodation space 10a and a second accommodation space 10b by the bracket 20. The first accommodation space 10a and the second accommodation space 10b are arranged along the second direction Z. The first battery cell assembly 50 is accommodated in the first accommodation space 10a, and the second battery cell assembly 60 is accommodated in the second accommodation space 10b, which can improve the space utilization rate inside the box body 10 in the second direction Z, so that more battery cells can be arranged in the battery device 100 in the second direction Z, and the battery device 100 has a higher energy density. The first expansion beam 12 and the second expansion beam 13 are arranged on both sides of the first battery cell assembly 50 along the first direction X, so as to facilitate restricting the expansion and deformation of the first battery cell assembly 50 through the first expansion beam 12 and the second expansion beam 13. The bracket 20 is connected to the first expansion beam 12 through the first locking member 30, and the bracket 20 is connected to the second expansion beam 13 through the second locking member 40. Using the first expansion beam 12 and the second expansion beam 13 to support the bracket 20 can reduce the space occupation of the connection and fixing position of the bracket 20 in the first accommodation space 10a between the first expansion beam 12 and the second expansion beam 13. For example, there is no need to arrange a structure for connecting with the bracket 20 in the direction perpendicular to both the first direction X and the second direction Z of the box body 10, so that more active materials can be arranged in the first accommodation space 10a between the first expansion beam 12 and the second expansion beam 13, making the battery device 100 have a higher energy density. And, both the first locking member 30 and the second locking member 40 are arranged along the second direction Z, further reducing the space occupation of the connection and fixing position of the bracket 20 in the first accommodation space 10a between the first expansion beam 12 and the second expansion beam 13, making the battery device 100 have a higher energy density. The support wall 21 supports the second battery cell assembly 60, provides positioning support for the second battery cell assembly 60, and reduces the risk of the second battery cell assembly 60 moving inside the box body 10. The third expansion beam 22 and the fourth expansion beam 23 are arranged opposite to each other along the first direction X and are respectively connected to the support wall 21. The second battery cell assembly 60 is arranged between the third expansion beam 22 and the fourth expansion beam 23, so as to facilitate restricting the expansion and deformation of the second battery cell assembly 60 through the third expansion beam 22 and the fourth expansion beam 23, thereby improving the reliability of the battery device 100.The dimension of the second locking member 40 along the second direction Z is greater than that of the fourth expansion beam 23. The second locking member 40 penetrates through the fourth expansion beam 23 in the second direction Z and then connects to the second expansion beam 13, which can utilize the space inside the fourth expansion beam 23, reduce the space occupied by the second locking member 40 on both sides of the fourth expansion beam 23 along the first direction X, further improve the space utilization rate inside the battery device 100, and increase the energy density of the battery device 100. At the same time, the second locking member 40 and the fourth expansion beam 23 have a large connection area, making the connection between the second locking member 40 and the fourth expansion beam 23 reliable, and improving the connection reliability between the fourth expansion beam 23 and the second expansion beam 13.

Correspondingly, the structure of the third expansion beam 22 may be the same as that of the fourth expansion beam 23, or the structure of the third expansion beam 22 may be different from that of the fourth expansion beam 23.

[0154] A plurality of partition walls 233 are arranged at intervals along the second direction Z to divide the interior of the fourth expansion into a plurality of cavities 232 arranged along the second direction Z.
[0155] When the fourth mounting hole 231 penetrates the fourth expansion beam 23 along the second direction Z, the fourth mounting hole 231 extends from the first end face 23a towards the second end face 23b and penetrates the partition wall 233. The fourth mounting hole 231 penetrates a plurality of partition walls 233. When the second locking member 40 is inserted into the fourth mounting hole 231, the partition wall 233 can play a role in positioning the second locking member 40.
[0156] In the above solution, a plurality of cavities 232 are arranged along the second direction Z, and two adjacent cavities 232 are separated by a partition wall 233, so that the fourth expansion beam 23 can absorb the expansion of the second battery cell assembly 60 along the first direction X, improving the reliability of the second battery cell assembly 60; the fourth mounting hole 231 penetrates the partition wall 233 to facilitate the positioning of the second locking member 40 and improve the connection reliability between the second locking member 40 and the fourth expansion beam 23.
[0157] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 , according to some embodiments of the present application, the box body 10 further includes a first side wall 14 and a second side wall 15 that are oppositely arranged along the first direction X. The first side wall 14 and the second side wall 15 are respectively connected to the bottom wall 11.

The first expansion beam 12 is closer to the first side wall 14 than the second expansion beam 13; along the first direction X, the distance between the first expansion beam 12 and the first side wall 14 is greater than the distance between the second expansion beam 13 and the second side wall 15.
[0158] The first side wall 14 and the second side wall 15 are oppositely arranged along the first direction X, and the first side wall 14 and the second side wall 15 can serve as two side beams of the box body 10.
[0159] The first expansion beam 12 is closer to the first side wall 14 than the second expansion beam 13. The first expansion beam 12 is correspondingly arranged with the first side wall 14, and the second expansion beam 13 is correspondingly arranged with the second side wall 15.
[0160] The distance between the first expansion beam 12 and the first side wall 14 is greater than the distance between the second expansion beam 13 and the second side wall 15, so that there is a relatively large space between the first expansion beam 12 and the first side wall 14. This space can accommodate other components inside the box body 10, such as a high-voltage box, a power management system, a cooling water circulation pipeline, etc. In this case, the connection manner between the first expansion beam 12 and the third expansion beam 22 can adopt the connection manner of the first convex portion 123 and the second convex portion 223 to utilize the space between the first expansion beam 12 and the first side wall 14.
[0161] In the above solution, the first side wall 14 and the second side wall 15 are respectively connected to the bottom wall 11.

[0164] The first restraint member 71 has an initial pre-tensioning force on both the first expansion beam 12 and the second expansion beam 13. When the first expansion beam 12 and the second expansion beam 13 resist the expansion force of the first battery cell assembly 50, the pre-tensioning force provided by the first restraint member 71 will share part of the expansion force, reduce the force on the first expansion beam 12 and the second expansion beam 13, and effectively control the expansion of the first battery cell 51.
[0165] The material of the first restraint member 71 can be metal to have a relatively high tensile capacity. An insulating member or insulating layer can be arranged on the surface of the first restraint member 71 to separate the first restraint member 71 and the first battery cell 51.
[0166] The second restraint member 72 is arranged along the first direction X. Two ends of the second restraint member 72 are respectively connected to the third expansion beam 22 and the fourth expansion beam 23. The second restraint member 72 is connected to a side of the second battery cell 61 facing away from the support wall 21, so as to form a restraint on the second battery cell 61 and limit the movement of the second battery cell 61 in a direction away from the support wall 21.
[0167] The second restraint member 72 has an initial pre-tensioning force on both the third expansion beam 22 and the fourth expansion beam 23. When the third expansion beam 22 and the fourth expansion beam 23 resist the expansion force of the second battery cell assembly 60, the pre-tensioning force provided by the second restraint member 72 will share part of the expansion force, reduce the force on the third expansion beam 22 and the fourth expansion beam 23, and effectively control the expansion of the second battery cell 61.

And the first restraint member 71 is connected to a side of the first battery cell 51 facing away from the bottom wall 11, which can limit the movement of the first battery cell 51 toward the side away from the bottom wall 11 to improve the reliability of the first battery cell assembly 50; two ends of the second restraint member 72 are respectively connected to the third expansion beam 22 and the fourth expansion beam 23, which can improve the restraint effect of the third expansion beam 22 and the fourth expansion beam 23 on the expansion deformation of the second battery cell assembly 60.

The contour of the second connection portion 10 h matches the second side surface 153 of the second side wall 15 .
[0185] “The first connection portion 10 g is connected to the first side surface 143 ” may mean that in the first direction X, the second box body 10 d and the first box body 10 c are connected to each other via the first connection portion 10 g and the first side surface 143 .

[0192] In some embodiments, the first transition surface 143c may be an arc surface or an inclined surface.
[0193] The first flat surface 143a and the second flat surface 143b are non-coplanar surfaces.

[0196] In some embodiments, the second transition surface 153c may be an arc surface or an inclined surface.
[0197] The third flat surface 153a and the fourth flat surface 153b are non-coplanar surfaces. Therefore, by providing the second transition surface 153c to enable the third flat surface 153a and the fourth flat surface 153b to have a smooth transition, it is beneficial to form a good sealing surface between the second connecting portion 10h and the second side surface 153, thereby improving the sealing performance of the battery device 100.
[0198] According to some embodiments of the present application, the first connecting portion 10g is hermetically connected to the first side wall 14, and the second connecting portion 10h is hermetically connected to the second side wall 15.

[0201] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 7, according to some embodiments of the present application, the second box body 10d includes a top wall 16 and two third side walls 17. The two third side walls 17 are oppositely arranged along the third direction Y. The top wall 16 connects the two third side walls 17. The top wall 16 and the bottom wall 11 are oppositely arranged along the second direction Z. One end of the third side wall 17 away from the top wall 16 is connected to the side surface of the bottom wall 11.
[0202] One end of the top wall 16 in the first direction X and one end of the two third side walls 17 in the first direction X form a first connection part 10g, and the other end of the top wall 16 in the first direction X and the other end of the two third side walls 17 in the first direction X form a second connection part 10h.
[0203] The bottom wall 11 is located between the two third side walls 17. The third side wall 17 has a third inner surface facing the bottom wall 11. The side surface of the bottom wall 11 in the third direction Y is the third side surface 111. The third side surface 111 and the third inner surface are stacked along the third direction Y, and the third side surface 111 and the third inner surface are hermetically connected.
[0204] For example, a third sealant is provided between the third side surface 111 and the third inner surface, and the third side surface 111 and the third inner surface are hermetically connected through the third sealant.
[0205] For another example, a third seal 83 is provided between the third side surface 111 and the third inner surface (please refer to Figure 2 ), the third side wall 17 and the bottom wall 11 are connected by a fifth locking member, and the third side surface 111 and the third inner surface are hermetically fitted through the third seal 83.
[0206] In the above solution, the side surface of the third side wall 17 and the bottom wall 11 are stacked along the third direction Y. By connecting one end of the third side wall 17 of the second box body 10d to the side surface of the bottom wall 11, the connection between the second box body 10d and the first box body 10c is realized. It can realize the connection between the second box body 10d and the first box body 10c without setting a flange structure protruding along the third direction Y, thereby improving the space utilization rate of the battery device 100 in the third direction Y to accommodate more battery cells or reducing the volume of the battery device 100, and further improving the energy density of the battery device 100.

[0209] The bottom wall 11 can be integrally extruded and formed to form a first flow channel 112 inside the bottom wall 11.
[0210] The first flow channel 112 is a channel formed inside the bottom wall 11 and used as a flow channel for the heat exchange medium. After the battery device 100 is assembled, the first flow channel 112 can accommodate the heat exchange medium to facilitate heat exchange with the first battery cell assembly 50 through the bracket 20.
[0211] In some embodiments, the bottom wall 11 can have good heat conduction performance to facilitate heat exchange between the heat exchange medium and the first battery cell assembly 50 through the bottom wall 11. For example, when the heat exchange medium is a cooling medium, the low temperature of the cooling medium is transferred to the first battery cell assembly 50 through the bottom wall 11, which can reduce the temperature of the first battery cell assembly 50. Also, for example, when the heat exchange medium is a heating medium, the high temperature of the heat exchange medium is transferred to the first battery cell assembly 50 through the bottom wall 11, which can increase the temperature of the first battery cell assembly 50.
[0212] The heat exchange medium in the first flow channel 112 of the bottom wall 11 can be a fluid, and the heat exchange medium can be but not limited to water, alcohol or other liquid mixtures.
[0213] The second flow channel 24 is a channel formed inside the bracket 20 and used for the flow of the heat exchange medium. After the battery device 100 is assembled, the second flow channel 24 can accommodate the heat exchange medium to facilitate heat exchange with the second battery cell assembly 60 through the bracket 20.
[0214] In some embodiments, the bracket 20 can have good heat conduction performance to facilitate heat exchange between the heat exchange medium and the second battery cell assembly 60 through the bracket 20. For example, when the heat exchange medium is a cooling medium, the low temperature of the cooling medium is transferred to the second battery cell assembly 60 through the bracket 20, which can reduce the temperature of the second battery cell assembly 60. Also, for example, when the heat exchange medium is a heating medium, the high temperature of the heat exchange medium is transferred to the second battery cell assembly 60 through the bracket 20, which can increase the temperature of the second battery cell assembly 60.
[0215] The heat exchange medium in the second flow channel 24 of the bracket 20 can be a fluid, and the heat exchange medium can be but not limited to water, alcohol or other liquid mixtures.
[0216] In some embodiments, the second flow channel 24 can be formed in the support wall 21.
[0217] In the above solution, by accommodating a heat exchange medium in the first flow channel 112, heat exchange can be performed on the first battery cell assembly 50 through the heat exchange medium in the first flow channel 112, so as to adjust the temperature of the first battery cell assembly 50, improve the charge and discharge cycle performance of the first battery cell assembly 50, and thus improve the reliability of the battery device 100; by accommodating a heat exchange medium in the second flow channel 24, heat exchange can be performed on the second battery cell assembly 60 through the heat exchange medium in the second flow channel 24, so as to adjust the temperature of the second battery cell assembly 60, improve the charge and discharge cycle performance of the second battery cell assembly 60, and thus improve the reliability of the battery device 100.
[0218] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , according to some embodiments of the present application, the surface of the first battery cell 51 perpendicular to the first direction X is the surface with the largest area of the first battery cell 51.

[0220] In some embodiments, the surface of the second battery cell 61 perpendicular to the first direction X is the surface with the largest area of the second battery cell 61.
[0221] The surface of the second battery cell 61 perpendicular to the first direction X is the surface with the largest area of the second battery cell 61.
