[0031] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a battery housing assembly for installing battery cells.

[0033] The battery housing assembly includes a housing body 1 and a composite plastic part 2. The housing body 1 has a mounting wall 11, which is provided with a tab through-hole 111 connecting the inside and outside of the housing body 1. The battery cell is disposed within the housing body 1. The composite plastic part 2 includes a first plastic part 21 and a second plastic part 22. The first plastic part 21 covers the outer wall of the mounting wall 11, and the second plastic part 22 covers the inner wall of the mounting wall 11. Thus, the first plastic part 21 and the second plastic part 22 can insulate and protect both sides of the mounting wall 11 and the tab through-hole 111. Optionally, a mounting groove 114 is provided on the outer wall of the mounting wall 11. The tab through-hole 111 is connected to the mounting groove 114, and the first plastic part 21 is embedded in the mounting groove 114, thereby making rational use of the space.

[0034] Among them, the second plastic part 22 is a flat structure, and the tabs of the battery cell can pass through the combined plastic part 2 and the tab through-holes 111 to the outside world, so that the interior of the shell body 1 only has the second flat plastic part 22 with a smaller thickness, and the related components connected to the tabs of the battery cell are all located outside the shell body 1, so they occupy a smaller space inside the shell body 1, which can improve the space utilization rate inside the shell body 1. The first plastic part 21 and the second plastic part 22 are integrally formed by injection molding through the tab through-holes 111, and the mounting shell wall 11 is partially wrapped by injection molding to achieve the installation and fixation of the combined plastic part 2 on the shell body 1. This one-piece injection molding method is simple, so that the mounting shell wall 11 and the combined plastic part 2 are integrally formed, improving the insulation and protection capabilities. In addition, this installation and fixation method does not increase the thickness of the second plastic part 22, which is beneficial to the utilization of the internal space of the shell body 1.

[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the combined plastic part 2 also includes an annular insulating portion 23, the opposite ends of the annular insulating portion 23 are respectively injection-molded with the first plastic part 21 and the second plastic part 22, and the annular insulating portion 23 abuts against the hole wall of the pole ear through hole 111, so that the insulation capacity at the pole ear through hole 111 can be improved through the formation of the annular insulating portion 23, and the annular insulating portion 23 is wrapped around the hole wall of the pole ear through hole 111, so as to position the combined plastic part 2, improve the stability of the integrated molding of the combined plastic part 2 and the mounting shell wall 11, and prevent lateral displacement.

[0036] Furthermore, the combined plastic part 2 is a split structure or an integrated structure. When the combined plastic part 2 is a split structure, the split structure can easily disassemble and reassemble the combined plastic part 2, so as to adjust the position according to actual needs and make rational use of space; when the combined plastic part 2 is an integrated structure, the integrated structure makes the combined plastic part 2 more integrated and coordinated in design, and fully insulates and protects the installation shell wall 11.

[0037] Furthermore, the tab through-hole 111 includes a positive pole through-hole, and at least one positive pole through-hole is provided, so that the mounting shell wall 11 only passes through the tab of the positive pole of the battery cell as required; or the tab through-hole 111 includes a negative pole through-hole, and at least one negative pole through-hole is provided, so that the mounting shell wall 11 only passes through the tab of the negative pole of the battery cell as required; or the tab through-hole 111 includes a positive pole through-hole and a negative pole through-hole, and at least one positive pole through-hole and a negative pole through-hole are provided, so that the mounting shell wall 11 can pass through the tabs of the positive and negative poles of the battery cell as required, thereby meeting actual layout requirements.

[0038] Furthermore, a liquid injection port 113 is provided on the mounting shell wall 11. The liquid injection port 113 communicates with the inside and outside of the shell body 1 through the second plastic part 22. The provision of the liquid injection port 113 facilitates the injection of electrolyte into the battery cell. Optionally, the liquid injection port 113 can be provided on a side close to the positive electrode through-hole, or on a side close to the negative electrode through-hole, or between the positive and negative electrode through-holes.

[0039] Furthermore, the hot-melt battery casing assembly also includes an explosion-proof valve 3. The mounting casing wall 11 is provided with an explosion-proof hole 112 that connects the inside and outside of the casing body 1. The explosion-proof valve 3 is provided on the outer wall of the mounting casing wall 11 and covers the explosion-proof hole 112. When the internal pressure of the casing body 1 abnormally increases, the explosion-proof valve 3 can automatically open to release the internal pressure, thereby preventing an explosion caused by the abnormal increase in the internal pressure of the casing body 1. Optionally, the explosion-proof valve 3 is provided with a notch on the side facing the mounting casing wall 11, or the explosion-proof valve 3 is provided with a notch on the side facing away from the mounting casing wall 11. The notch allows the explosion-proof valve 3 to evenly withstand pressure and crack along the notch, thereby improving the safety of the battery.

[0040] Furthermore, the first plastic part 21 has a flange edge 211, and the width of the flange edge 211 ranges from 1 to 10 mm. By setting the flange edge 211, the installation of the first plastic part 21 on the mounting shell wall 11 can be facilitated, the structural strength of the first plastic part 21 can be improved, and the stability and reliability of the first plastic part 21 can be ensured. The width range of the flange edge 211 is set to 1 to 10 mm, which can control the overall size of the first plastic part 21, control the weight of the combined plastic part 2, reduce materials and costs, and avoid affecting the design of the shell body 1. The width of the flange edge 211 is at least 1 mm, so as to prevent the flange edge 211 from being too small, which will cause the first plastic part 21 to be unable to be fixed on the mounting shell wall 11. Among them, the wall thickness of the mounting shell wall 11 is H. When the flange edge 211 of the first plastic part 21 is protruding outside the mounting shell wall 11, the distance between the upper surface of the flange edge 211 and the upper surface of the mounting shell wall 11 is in the range of 0 to H, thereby controlling the height of the first plastic part 21 and preventing the first plastic part 21 from being too high and being detrimental to the improvement of the battery volume utilization rate; when the flange edge 211 of the first plastic part 21 is recessed in the mounting shell wall 11, the distance between the upper surface of the flange edge 211 and the upper surface of the mounting shell wall 11 is in the range of 0 to 0.5H, thereby controlling the height of the first plastic part 21 and preventing the wall thickness of the mounting shell where the first plastic part 21 is mounted from being too thin and affecting the strength of the shell body 1.

[0041] The present embodiment also provides a battery, comprising a battery shell assembly as described above, and the battery also includes a battery cell, which is arranged in the shell body 1. By using the battery shell assembly as described above, the battery has only a flat second plastic part 22 with a smaller thickness inside the shell body 1, and the related devices connected to the tabs of the battery cell are all located outside the shell body 1, thereby improving the space utilization rate inside the shell body 1, and the first plastic part 21 and the second plastic part 22 are injection-molded as one piece through the tab through-hole 111, and the shell wall 11 is partially installed by injection molding to achieve the installation and fixation of the combined plastic part 2 on the shell body 1. The one-piece injection molding method is simple, so that the installation shell wall 11 and the combined plastic part 2 are integrally formed, thereby improving the insulation and protection capabilities, and the installation and fixation method will not increase the thickness of the second plastic part 22, which is beneficial to the utilization of the internal space of the shell body 1.

[0042] 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. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
