[0029] Before any embodiments of the present application are explained in detail, it is to be understood that the application is not limited in its application to the details of construction and the arrangement of components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the foregoing drawings.

[0030] In this application, the terms "comprises," "includes," "has," or any other variations thereof are intended to encompass non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that includes a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising a ..." does not preclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes the element.

[0031] In this application, the terms "connect," "combine," "couple," and "install" may refer to direct connection, combination, coupling, or installation, or indirect connection, combination, coupling, or installation. For example, a direct connection refers to two parts or components being connected together without an intermediary, and an indirect connection refers to two parts or components being connected to at least one intermediary, with the two parts or components being connected via the intermediary. Furthermore, "connect" and "couple" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections or couplings and may include electrical connections or couplings.

[0032] In this application, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the function performed by an assembly can be performed by one assembly, multiple assemblies, one part, or multiple parts. Similarly, the function performed by a part can also be performed by one part, one assembly, or a combination of multiple parts.

[0033] In the present application, the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "back" and other directional words are described based on the orientation and positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and should not be understood as limiting the embodiments of the present application. In addition, in the context, it is also necessary to understand that when it is mentioned that an element is connected to another element "upper" or "lower", it can not only be directly connected to the other element "upper" or "lower", but also be indirectly connected to the other element "upper" or "lower" through an intermediate element. It should also be understood that directional words such as upper side, lower side, left side, right side, front side, back side, etc. not only represent the positive orientation, but can also be understood as the lateral orientation. For example, below can include directly below, lower left, lower right, lower front and lower back, etc.

[0034] In the process of designing and manufacturing batteries, in order to improve the space utilization of the battery shell and avoid short circuit between the tabs and the battery shell, Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the present invention provides a battery housing assembly. The battery housing assembly includes a battery housing 1 and a plastic part 2.

[0035] Among them, the battery housing 1 has an end plate 11; the end plate 11 is clamped on the plastic part 2, and the plastic part 2 includes a first plastic part 21 and a second plastic part 22. The first plastic part 21 and / or the second plastic part 22 are connected to the end plate 11 by adhesive, and the side of the second plastic part 22 facing away from the end plate 11 is provided with at least one tab shaping structure 222. The tab shaping structure 222 can shape the tab of the battery when it is retracted to prevent the tab from electrically contacting the battery housing 1.

[0036] By providing the tab shaping structure 222 on the second plastic part 22, during the battery assembly process, the tab shaping structure 222 can shape the tabs of the battery when they are folded to prevent the tabs from making electrical contact with the battery housing 1, thereby ensuring the tab shaping effect and avoiding short circuits between the tabs and the battery housing 1. The first plastic part 21 and / or the second plastic part 22 are connected to the end plate 11 by adhesive, eliminating the need to install a connecting piece in the battery housing 1, thus avoiding occupying space in the battery housing 1 and further improving the space utilization of the battery housing 1.

[0037] In some embodiments, the adhesive comprises a polyolefin resin or polyisobutylene rubber. Specifically, the polyolefin resin or polyisobutylene rubber is the primary component of the adhesive. The adhesive made of polyolefin resin or polyisobutylene rubber exhibits high bonding strength, ensuring stable bonding between the first plastic part 21 and / or the second plastic part 22 and the end plate 11.

[0038] In some embodiments, the adhesive must be resistant to electrolyte corrosion to prevent the electrolyte from corroding the adhesive, thereby reducing or even failing the bonding strength between the first plastic part 21 and / or the second plastic part 22 and the end plate 11 .

[0039] In some embodiments, the adhesive strength of the adhesive is not less than 0.5 MPa. By limiting the adhesive strength, it is possible to ensure that the first plastic part 21 and / or the second plastic part 22 are stably connected to the end plate 11 after being bonded, and the first plastic part 21 and / or the second plastic part 22 will not separate from the end plate 11 even under a certain external force.

[0040] In some embodiments, a first tab through-hole 13 is provided on the end plate 11, a second tab through-hole 211 is provided on the first plastic part 21, and a third tab through-hole 221 is provided on the second plastic part 22. The first tab through-hole 13, the second tab through-hole 211, and the third tab through-hole 221 are arranged relative to each other, and the tab can sequentially pass through the third tab through-hole 221, the first tab through-hole 13, and the second tab through-hole 211 and extend out. Specifically, the first tab through-hole 13, the second tab through-hole 211, and the third tab through-hole 221 are provided based on the number of positive or negative electrodes designed on the end plate 11. The tab passes through the second tab through-hole 211 and is folded over the end plate 11, which can reduce the tab's internal occupancy of the battery housing 1 and further improve the internal space utilization of the battery housing 1.

[0041] In some embodiments, an explosion-proof valve 3 is provided on the end plate 11. Specifically, the explosion-proof valve 3 may be provided with a thinning area or not. In this embodiment, the thinning area is a notch, and the notch can be directly made on the explosion-proof valve 3. The thinning area of ​​the explosion-proof valve 3 can face the end plate 11 or away from the end plate 11. Through the above-mentioned arrangement, the strength of the explosion-proof valve 3 at the position of the thinning area is lower. When a battery malfunctions and the pressure increases, the air pressure will act on the thinning area, causing the thinning area of ​​the explosion-proof valve 3 to rupture, thereby allowing the gas to be quickly discharged to prevent the battery from exploding.

[0042] In some embodiments, a liquid injection hole 4 is provided on the battery housing 1. The liquid injection hole 4 facilitates the subsequent injection of electrolyte into the battery housing 1.

[0043] In some embodiments, a mounting groove 12 is defined on the side of the end plate 11 facing away from the second plastic part 22. The first plastic part 21 is positioned within the mounting groove 12, and the distance between the side of the first plastic part 21 facing away from the second plastic part 22 and the opening of the mounting groove 12 is -1H-0.5H, where H is the thickness of the end plate 11. The distance between the side of the first plastic part 21 facing away from the second plastic part 22 and the opening of the mounting groove 12 is -1H, which represents the height of the first plastic part 21 extending beyond the opening of the mounting groove 12, and 0.5H represents the distance between the first plastic part 21 and the opening of the mounting groove 12 when the first plastic part 21 is positioned within the mounting groove 12. Providing the mounting groove 12 facilitates positioning and installation of the first plastic part 21. Furthermore, since the first plastic part 21 is positioned within the mounting groove 12, the height of the first plastic part 21 relative to the end plate 11 can be reduced, thereby reducing the overall volume of the battery and improving its compactness. Furthermore, by limiting the height difference of the first plastic part 21 after installation in the installation groove 12 , it is possible to take into account the strength of the end plate 11 while effectively utilizing the space of the installation groove 12 .

[0044] In some embodiments, the first plastic part 21 has a flange 212 with a width of 0 mm to 10 mm. If the width L of the flange 212 of the first plastic part 21 is too wide, the weight of the first plastic part 21 increases, and the material used in the first plastic part 21 increases, thereby increasing costs. This also affects the design of the mounting groove 12 of the end plate 11. If the width L of the flange 212 of the first plastic part 21 is too narrow, the first plastic part 21 cannot be effectively fixed, and the mounting groove 12 cannot perform its positioning function. Therefore, the above-mentioned definition can facilitate the positioning of the first plastic part 21 while preventing the plastic part from being too bulky.

[0045] In some embodiments, a receiving groove 213 is provided on the side of the first plastic part 21 facing away from the second plastic part 22. The receiving groove 213 is used to place the connecting piece or the pole. Since the connecting piece and the pole are located on the outside of the battery housing 1, they avoid occupying the space of the battery housing 1, which can further improve the utilization rate of the battery housing 1.

[0046] In some embodiments, the first plastic part 21 and the second plastic part 22 are integral or split. Designing the plastic part 2 as a split structure facilitates assembly with the end plate 11. Alternatively, the first plastic part 21 and the second plastic part 22 can be interconnected and integrated for ease of manufacture. This is not intended to be limiting.

[0047] This embodiment also provides a battery, which includes a battery cell and the above battery housing assembly. The battery cell is arranged in the battery housing assembly, which can improve the space utilization of the battery housing 1 and avoid short circuit between the tab and the battery housing 1.

[0048] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here.
