For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0032] Reference will now be made to Figures 1-8 A battery pack 10 according to an embodiment of the present application is described.

[0033] As Figures 1-8 shown, the battery pack 10 according to an embodiment of the present application comprises a plurality of battery cells 1 and a reinforcing member 2.

[0034] Specifically, referring to Figures 1-8 , the plurality of battery cells 1 are arranged along the thickness direction of the battery cell 1, the battery cell 1 comprises a shell 11 and an explosion-proof valve 12, one end of the shell 11 along the width direction of the battery cell 1 has an explosion-proof hole 113, and the explosion-proof valve 12 is arranged in the explosion-proof hole 113;

[0035] It should be noted that the shell 11 has a mounting space, and the electric core 1 further comprises: an end plate and a pole group 13, the pole group 13 is arranged in the mounting space, the two ends of the shell 11 along the length direction of the electric core 1 are open, the end cover 14 is two, and is arranged at the two ends of the shell 11 along the length direction of the electric core 1 respectively, and is used for sealing the opening of the two ends of the shell 11 along the length direction of the electric core 1. The explosion-proof hole 113 is communicated with the mounting space, and is used for discharging the gas when the electric core 1 is abnormal. The explosion-proof valve 12 has an explosion-proof notch, so that a weak area is formed at the explosion-proof valve 12. When the gas pressure in the mounting space reaches a certain value, the gas will preferentially break through the explosion-proof notch and be discharged, thereby avoiding the explosion of the electric core 1 and ensuring the safety of the electric core 1.

[0036] Further, as shown in Figures 1-6 and Figure 8 , the reinforcing member 2 is arranged on the side of the shell 11 having the explosion-proof hole 113 and is connected with the shells 11 of the plurality of electric cores 1. It can be understood that the side of the shell 11 of the plurality of electric cores 1 having the explosion-proof hole 113 can be connected, forming a whole, thereby improving the rigidity of the side of the shell 11 of the plurality of electric cores 1 having the explosion-proof hole 113, reducing the deformation of the side of the shell 11 of the plurality of electric cores 1 having the explosion-proof hole 113, reducing the deformation of the explosion-proof valve 12, thereby reducing the risk of cracking of the weak area of the explosion-proof valve 12, and improving the safety of the battery pack 10.

[0037] and / or, as shown in Figure 7 , the reinforcing member 2 is arranged between any two adjacent electric cores 1, and the reinforcing member 2 is connected with the shells 11 of the two adjacent electric cores 1. Thus, the reinforcing member 2 can connect any two adjacent electric cores 1, so that all the electric cores 1 can be connected to form a whole, thereby improving the overall rigidity of the shells 11 of all the electric cores 1, reducing the deformation of the shells 11 of the electric cores 1, thereby reducing the risk of cracking of the weak area of the explosion-proof valve 12, and improving the safety of the battery pack 10.

[0038] For example, in the present application, the electric core 1 is two, but the present application is not limited thereto, and the electric core 1 can also be more, such as 3, 4, 5 or 6, etc.

[0039] According to the battery pack 10 of the embodiment of the present application, the reinforcing member 2 is arranged on the side of the shell 11 having the explosion-proof hole 113 and is connected with the shells 11 of the plurality of electric cores 1, and / or the reinforcing member 2 is arranged between any two adjacent electric cores 1, and the reinforcing member 2 is connected with the shells 11 of the two adjacent electric cores 1, so that all the electric cores 1 can be connected to form a whole, thereby improving the overall rigidity of the shells 11 of all the electric cores 1, reducing the deformation of the shells 11 of the electric cores 1, thereby reducing the risk of cracking of the weak area of the explosion-proof valve 12, and improving the safety of the battery pack 10.

[0040] In some embodiments of the utility model, as shown in Figures 1-4 The reinforcing member 2 includes a first reinforcing member 21 extending in the thickness direction of the battery cell 1, and the first reinforcing member 21 is arranged on the side of the shell 11 having the explosion-proof hole 113 and connected with the shells 11 of the plurality of battery cells 1. The first reinforcing member 21 has a plurality of avoiding holes 211 spaced apart in the thickness direction of the battery cell 1, and the plurality of avoiding holes 211 are arranged one-to-one corresponding to the explosion-proof holes 113 of the plurality of battery cells 1.

[0041] It can be understood that the first reinforcing member 21 extends in the thickness direction of the battery cell 1, so that the first reinforcing member 21 can cover all the battery cells 1, thereby facilitating the connection of the first reinforcing member 21 with all the shells 11 of the battery cells 1. The first reinforcing member 21 is arranged on the side of the shell 11 having the explosion-proof hole 113 and connected with the shells 11 of the plurality of battery cells 1, thereby realizing the connection of the side of the shells 11 of the plurality of battery cells 1 having the explosion-proof hole 113 to form a whole, thereby improving the rigidity of the side of the shells 11 of the plurality of battery cells 1 having the explosion-proof hole 113, reducing the deformation of the side of the shells 11 of the plurality of battery cells 1 having the explosion-proof hole 113, reducing the deformation of the explosion-proof valve 12, thereby reducing the risk of cracking of the weak area of the explosion-proof valve 12, and improving the safety of the battery pack 10.

[0042] Further, the first reinforcing member 21 is provided with the avoiding hole 211, and the avoiding hole 211 is arranged opposite to the explosion-proof hole 113, thereby avoiding blocking the discharge of gas and ensuring the safety of the battery pack 10.

[0043] In some embodiments of the utility model, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 The reinforcing member 2 further includes at least one reinforcing rib 23 arranged on the side of the first reinforcing member 21 facing the shell 11 and connected with the first reinforcing member 21. The reinforcing rib 23 extends in the length direction of the battery cell 1, and the reinforcing rib 23 is arranged between any two adjacent battery cells 1 and connected with the two adjacent battery cells 1. It should be noted that the number of reinforcing ribs 23 is one less than the number of battery cells 1. When the number of battery cells 1 is two, the number of reinforcing ribs 23 is one. When the number of battery cells 1 is greater than two, the number of reinforcing ribs 23 is a plurality of reinforcing ribs 23 spaced apart in the thickness direction of the battery cell 1.

[0044] It can be understood that the reinforcing rib 23 is arranged between the gaps between the two adjacent battery cells 1, and the reinforcing rib 23 is connected with the two adjacent battery cells 1, so that, on the one hand, the two adjacent battery cells 1 can be connected through the first reinforcing piece 21, and on the other hand, the two adjacent battery cells 1 can also be connected through the reinforcing rib 23, thereby further improving the connection reliability between the plurality of battery cells 1, improving the integrity, thereby further improving the overall rigidity of the shell 11 of all the battery cells 1, reducing the deformation of the shell 11 of the battery cell 1, thereby reducing the risk of cracking of the weak area of the explosion-proof valve 12, and improving the safety of the battery pack 10.

[0045] In some embodiments of the utility model, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 The shell 11 has two side corners of the end of the explosion-proof hole 113 in the thickness direction of the battery cell 1 are rounded, and the width (width in the width direction of the battery cell 1) of the reinforcing rib 23 is greater than the radius of the rounded corner. Among them, the rounded corner can be a rounded corner recessed into the mounting space, or a rounded corner protruding away from the mounting space. Since the reinforcing rib 23 is not easy to connect with the rounded corner of the shell 11, the width of the reinforcing rib 23 is greater than the radius of the rounded corner, thereby facilitating the connection of the reinforcing rib 23 and the shell 11, thereby improving the connection reliability of the reinforcing rib 23 and the shell 11. Among them, the reinforcing rib 23 and the shell 11 are connected by welding or bonding.

[0046] In some embodiments of the utility model, as shown in Figure 7 The reinforcing piece 2 includes at least one second reinforcing piece 22, and one second reinforcing piece 22 is arranged between any two adjacent battery cells 1, the second reinforcing piece 22 is connected with the two adjacent battery cells 1, and the second reinforcing piece 22 is arranged at the edge of the battery cell 1 and extends in the circumferential direction of the battery cell 1. Among them, it needs to be explained that the number of the second reinforcing piece 22 is one less than the number of the battery cell 1, when the battery cell 1 is two, the second reinforcing piece 22 is one, when the number of the second reinforcing piece 22 is more than two, the second reinforcing piece 22 is a plurality of reinforcing pieces spaced apart in the thickness direction of the battery cell 1.

[0047] It can be understood that the second reinforcing piece 22 is arranged between the gaps between the two adjacent battery cells 1, and the second reinforcing piece 22 is connected with the two adjacent battery cells 1, so that the shell 11 of the two adjacent battery cells 1 is connected, so that all the battery cells 1 can be connected to form a whole, thereby improving the overall rigidity of the shell 11 of all the battery cells 1, reducing the deformation of the shell 11 of the battery cell 1, thereby reducing the risk of cracking of the weak area of the explosion-proof valve 12, and improving the safety of the battery pack 10.

[0048] Further, as shown in Figure 7As shown, the second reinforcing member 22 is arranged at the edge of the battery cell 1 and extends along the circumferential direction of the battery cell 1, wherein the circumferential direction of the battery cell 1 refers to the circumferential direction of the surface perpendicular to the thickness direction of the battery cell 1. The second reinforcing member 22 extends along the circumferential direction of the battery cell 1, thereby increasing the connection area between the second reinforcing member 22 and the adjacent battery cell 1, further improving the connection reliability between the second reinforcing member 22 and the adjacent battery cell 1, improving the connection reliability between the shells 11 of the second adjacent battery cells 1, further improving the integrity, further improving the overall rigidity of the shells 11 of all battery cells 1, reducing the deformation of the shells 11 of the battery cells 1, thereby reducing the risk of cracking of the weak area of the explosion-proof valve 12, and improving the safety of the battery pack 10.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 7 As shown, the shell 11 has rounded corners on both sides of the explosion-proof hole 113 in the thickness direction of the battery cell 1, and the width (width in the width direction of the battery cell 1) of the second reinforcing member 22 is greater than the radius of the rounded corner. It can be understood that the rounded corner can be a rounded corner recessed into the mounting space, or a rounded corner protruding away from the mounting space. Since the second reinforcing member 22 is not easy to connect at the rounded corner of the shell 11, the width of the second reinforcing member 22 is greater than the radius of the rounded corner, thereby facilitating the connection of the second reinforcing member 22 and the shell 11, and improving the connection reliability of the second reinforcing member 22 and the shell 11.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 8 As shown, the reinforcing member 2 comprises: a first reinforcing member 21 and a second reinforcing member 22. The first reinforcing member 21 extends along the thickness direction of the battery cell 1, and the first reinforcing member 21 is arranged on one side of the shell 11 having the explosion-proof hole 113 and connected to the shells 11 of the plurality of battery cells 1. The first reinforcing member 21 has a plurality of avoiding holes 211 spaced apart along the thickness direction of the battery cell 1, and the plurality of avoiding holes 211 are respectively arranged one-to-one corresponding to the explosion-proof holes 113 of the plurality of battery cells 1; the second reinforcing member 22 is at least one, and the second reinforcing member 22 is arranged between any two adjacent battery cells 1, and the second reinforcing member 22 is connected to the two adjacent battery cells 1. The second reinforcing member 22 extends along the circumferential direction of the battery cell 1 and is connected to the side of the first reinforcing member 21 facing the battery cell 1.

[0051] It can be understood that the arrangement of the first reinforcing member 21 allows the side of the shell 11 of the plurality of battery cells 1 having the explosion-proof hole 113 to be connected together to form a whole, thereby improving the rigidity of the side of the shell 11 of the plurality of battery cells 1 having the explosion-proof hole 113, reducing the deformation of the side of the shell 11 of the plurality of battery cells 1 having the explosion-proof hole 113, reducing the deformation of the explosion-proof valve 12, thereby reducing the risk of cracking of the weak area of the explosion-proof valve 12, and improving the safety of the battery pack 10.

[0052] And the second reinforcing member 22 is arranged so that the sides of the adjacent cell 1 shell 11 along the thickness direction of the cell 1 towards each other can be connected, so that the plurality of cells 1 can be connected in the thickness direction of the cell 1 to form a whole, improve the overall stiffness of the plurality of cell 1 shell 11, reduce the deformation of the plurality of cell 1 shell 11, reduce the deformation of the explosion-proof valve 12, thereby reducing the risk of cracking of the weak area of the explosion-proof valve 12, improving the safety of the battery pack 10.

[0053] Therefore, through the mutual combination of the first reinforcing member 21 and the second reinforcing member 22, on the one hand, the sides of the plurality of cell 1 shell 11 having the explosion-proof hole 113 can be connected to form a whole, and on the other hand, the plurality of cells 1 can be connected in the thickness direction of the cell 1 to form a whole. Thus, the overall stiffness of the plurality of cell 1 shell 11 is further improved, the deformation of the cell 1 shell 11 is reduced, the deformation of the explosion-proof valve 12 is reduced, thereby reducing the risk of cracking of the weak area of the explosion-proof valve 12, improving the safety of the battery pack 10.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present application, the reinforcing member 2 and the shell 11 of the cell 1 are adhesively connected. Therefore, the connection reliability between the reinforcing member 2 and the shell 11 of the cell 1 is improved, thereby further improving the overall stiffness of the plurality of cell 1 shell 11, reducing the deformation of the cell 1 shell 11, reducing the deformation of the explosion-proof valve 12, thereby reducing the risk of cracking of the weak area of the explosion-proof valve 12, improving the safety of the battery pack 10.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 1-4 The shell 11 includes a shell body 111 and a boss 112, the boss 112 is arranged at one end of the shell body 111 along the width direction of the cell 1, and the explosion-proof hole 113 penetrates the shell body 111 and the boss 112 along the width direction of the cell 1. It can be understood that the explosion-proof valve 12 is arranged in the explosion-proof hole 113 corresponding to the boss 112, and thus the wall surface of the boss 112 can form protection for the explosion-proof valve 12, thereby reducing the influence of the deformation of the shell body 111 on the explosion-proof valve 12, further reducing the deformation of the explosion-proof valve 12, thereby reducing the risk of cracking of the weak area of the explosion-proof valve 12, improving the safety of the battery pack 10.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 1-4 The circumferential wall of the explosion-proof hole 113 is provided with an annular rib 114, the annular rib 114 extends along the circumferential direction of the explosion-proof hole 113, the explosion-proof valve 12 is arranged on the side of the annular rib 114 facing the outlet of the explosion-proof hole 113, and is connected with the annular rib 114.

[0057] It can be understood that the explosion-proof hole 113 outlet is used for gas exhaust, the annular rib 114 is connected with the explosion-proof valve 12, the explosion-proof valve 12 can be supported, and the installation stability and reliability of the explosion-proof valve 12 in the explosion-proof hole 113 are improved. Further, the thickness of the annular rib 114 along the width direction of the battery cell 1 is less than the thickness of the shell body 111, so that when the internal gas pressure of the shell 11 is too large (in an extreme case), the annular rib 114 can be broken by the gas, thereby improving the exhaust efficiency and further ensuring the safety of the battery pack 10.
