TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of batteries, in particular to a battery assembly, a battery device and an electric equipment. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, with the popularization of electric vehicles, the use of power batteries is increasing. Among them, the collection of voltage and temperature signals of the battery monomer plays a key role in the normal work of the battery pack.
[0003] The information of the traditional battery monomer, including voltage and temperature, is collected through a wire harness, but the installation of the wire harness is cumbersome and may cause wiring errors or damage due to mutual friction between wires, thereby having safety hazards. Therefore, more and more circuit boards are used to collect the information of the battery monomer.
[0004] In view of the deformation of the battery monomer during use, the position of the connection between the circuit board and the battery monomer changes, and the connection between the circuit board and the battery monomer is broken and fails, resulting in the inability to collect the information of the battery monomer. In view of the defects of the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a battery assembly, a battery device and an electric equipment, which can effectively solve the problem of connection failure between the circuit board and the battery monomer due to the deformation of the battery monomer.
[0005] The first aspect of the present application discloses a battery assembly, which comprises:
[0006] a plurality of battery monomers arranged along a first direction;
[0007] a plurality of battery monomers arranged along a first direction;
[0008] a circuit board, at least one battery monomer is electrically connected to the circuit board through a connection assembly, the connection assembly comprises a first connecting piece and a second connecting piece, one of the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece is arranged on the battery monomer and electrically connected to the battery monomer, the other of the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece is arranged on the circuit board and electrically connected to the circuit board, the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece are configured to be relatively movable along the first direction and electrically connected.
[0009] According to the battery assembly of the present application, when the battery monomer deforms along the first direction, including swelling deformation or extrusion deformation, the relative position of the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece changes with the deformation of the battery monomer. Since the first connecting piece can move along the first direction relative to the second connecting piece, and the first connecting piece after moving can be electrically connected to the second connecting piece, the deformed battery monomer can still be electrically connected to the circuit board through the connection assembly, reducing the connection failure between the battery monomer and the circuit board due to the deformation of the battery monomer, thereby effectively collecting the information of the battery monomer, including the voltage and temperature of the battery monomer, through the circuit board.
[0010] In some embodiments of the application, the first connecting member comprises a first body part, the second connecting member comprises a second body part, one of the first body part and the second body part is arranged on the battery monomer and electrically connected with the battery monomer, the other of the first body part and the second body part is arranged on the circuit board and electrically connected with the circuit board, and the first body part and the second body part are capable of relative movement and electrical connection along the first direction.
[0011] One of the first body part and the second body part is arranged on the battery monomer and is capable of position change along with the deformation of the battery monomer along the first direction, so as to move along the first direction relative to the other, and the first body part and the second body part are capable of relative movement and electrical connection along the first direction, so as to make the first connecting member and the second connecting member always electrically connected during the relative movement, and further electrically connect the circuit board and the battery monomer through the first connecting member and the second connecting member.
[0012] In some embodiments of the application, the first connecting member further comprises a first connecting part arranged on the first body part, and the second connecting member further comprises a second connecting part arranged on the second body part, and the first connecting part and the second connecting part are configured to be capable of relative movement along the first direction and limited fit.
[0013] When the battery monomer is deformed along the first direction, the relative position of the first connecting part and the second connecting part changes, and by configuring the first connecting part and the second connecting part to be capable of relative movement along the first direction, the first connecting part after position change can still be connected with the second connecting part, so as to electrically connect the first body part and the second body part, and further electrically connect the circuit board and the battery monomer through the first connecting member and the second connecting member.
[0014] In some embodiments of the application, the first connecting part comprises a plug-in slot, the second connecting part comprises a plug-in column, the plug-in column is plugged into the plug-in slot, and the plug-in column and the plug-in slot are configured to be capable of relative movement along the first direction.
[0015] The form of the plug-in column and the plug-in slot is convenient to set, and the plug-in slot can limit the movement range of the plug-in column, so that the plug-in column can only move within the range of the plug-in slot and can move along the first direction, reducing the electrical connection failure of the first body part and the second body part due to the disengagement of the plug-in column from the plug-in slot.
[0016] In some embodiments of the application, along the first direction, the size of the plug-in slot is greater than the size of the plug-in column.
[0017] By setting the size of the insertion slot to be larger than the size of the insertion column in the first direction, the insertion column can move in the insertion slot in the first direction, so that when the battery cell deforms in the first direction and the relative positions of the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece change in the first direction, the insertion column can move in the first direction and electrically connect the first body part and the second body part.
[0018] In some embodiments of the present application, in the second direction, the size of the insertion slot is larger than the size of the insertion column, the second direction intersects the first direction, and the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to the insertion direction of the insertion column.
[0019] By setting the size of the insertion slot to be larger than the size of the insertion column in the second direction, the insertion column can move in the insertion slot in the second direction, so that when the battery cell deforms in the second direction and the relative positions of the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece change in the second direction, the insertion column can move in the second direction and electrically connect the first body part and the second body part.
[0020] In some embodiments of the present application, the insertion slot is a through slot passing through the first body part, and the end of the insertion column away from the second body part passes through the insertion slot and is provided with a limiting head, and part of the first body part is arranged between the limiting head and the second body part.
[0021] In the second direction, the size of the limiting head is larger than the size of the insertion slot, the second direction intersects the first direction, and the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to the insertion direction of the insertion column, and / or in the first direction, the size of the limiting head is larger than the size of the insertion slot.
[0022] By setting the size of the limiting head to be larger than the size of the insertion slot and arranging part of the first body part between the limiting head and the second body part, the phenomenon of the insertion column separating from the insertion slot in the insertion direction of the insertion column can be reduced, thereby limiting the positions of the first body part and the second body part in the insertion direction of the insertion column, and further keeping the first body part and the second body part in close contact and electrically connected.
[0023] In some embodiments of the present application, the limiting head and the insertion column are a rivet structure in an integral structure.
[0024] The rivet structure is convenient to set. After the relative positions of the first body part and the second body part are fixed, the rivet structure can pass through the insertion slot and be riveted with the second body part, thereby placing the insertion column in the insertion slot and reducing the separation of the insertion column from the insertion slot in the insertion direction by the limiting of the limiting head.
[0025] In some embodiments of the present application, the limiting head and the insertion column are a detachable structure.
[0026] When the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece need to be assembled, the insertion column is inserted into the insertion slot and then assembled with the limiting head, so as to facilitate the assembly of the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece; when the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece need to be disassembled, the limiting head is separated from the insertion column, and then the insertion column is withdrawn along the insertion direction to the outside of the insertion slot, so as to facilitate the disassembly of the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece.
[0027] In some embodiments of the present application, the plurality of battery cells are electrically connected by the conductive sheet and form a battery cell assembly, and the first connecting piece is electrically connected to the battery cell through the conductive sheet.
[0028] The plurality of battery cells are electrically connected by the conductive sheet and form a battery cell assembly, so that the battery cell assembly can be used to supply power to the electrical equipment, and at the same time, the conductive sheet is convenient to connect with the first connecting piece, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the battery cell and the first connecting piece.
[0029] In some embodiments of the present application, the first connecting piece is a metal sheet, and the metal sheet is welded to the conductive sheet.
[0030] By setting the first connecting piece as a metal sheet, the first connecting piece is convenient to be welded to the conductive sheet and electrically connected to the battery cell through the conductive sheet.
[0031] In some embodiments of the present application, the second connecting piece is a conversion terminal, and the conversion terminal is welded to the circuit board.
[0032] By setting the second connecting piece as a conversion terminal, the conversion terminal can be welded to the circuit board and electrically connected to the first connecting piece, so as to collect the information of the battery cell through the circuit board.

[0034] By setting a plurality of connecting assemblies and one-to-one corresponding the plurality of connecting assemblies to the plurality of battery cells, when the battery cell deforms along the first direction, the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece in any connecting assembly can move relatively along the first direction, so that the battery cell is always electrically connected to the circuit board through the connecting assembly, and the information of the plurality of battery cells is collected through the circuit board.
[0035] In some embodiments of the present application, the battery cell includes a first surface with the largest area, and the first direction is perpendicular to the first surface.
[0036] When the battery cell expands internally, the first surface with the largest area is prone to deformation in a direction perpendicular to the surface under the action of internal pressure. By arranging the first surface perpendicular to the first direction, i.e., the first surface expands and deforms in the first direction, since the first connecting member can move relative to the second connecting member in the first direction, and the first connecting member after moving can still be electrically connected with the second connecting member, the deformed battery cell can still be electrically connected with the circuit board through the connecting assembly, reducing the connection failure between the battery cell and the circuit board due to the deformation of the battery cell, so that the information of the battery cell can be effectively collected through the circuit board.

[0094] Specifically, the plurality of battery monomers 21 are arranged in sequence along the first direction X, and one or more of the plurality of battery monomers 21 are electrically connected to the circuit board through the connecting assembly 60, so as to collect information of the battery monomers 21 through the circuit board, including voltage and temperature of the battery monomers 21. The plurality of battery monomers 21 can be connected in series, in parallel or mixed, or the plurality of battery monomers 21 can be arranged independently. Wherein, the circuit board 50 is provided with a wiring terminal 51 at one end along the first direction X, and the wiring terminal 51 is used to output the information of the battery monomers 21 collected by the circuit board 50. Optionally, the circuit board 50 in the present application can be a flexible circuit board with deformation ability, such as a flexible printed circuit board or a flexible die-cut circuit board, which has a certain deformation ability, so as to adapt to the deformation of the battery monomers 21. In some embodiments of the present application, the circuit board 50 can also be a rigid circuit board, such as a printed circuit board.
[0095] Wherein, the battery monomer 21 includes a length direction, a width direction and a height direction, wherein the battery monomer 21 is provided with an electrode terminal 214 at one end of the height direction, the length direction of the battery monomer 21 is larger than the width direction, and the circuit board 50 can be arranged on one side of the battery monomer 21 provided with the electrode terminal 214, so as to be electrically connected with the electrode terminal 214. For the convenience of description, the present application only takes the first direction X consistent with the width direction of the battery monomer 21, the second direction Y consistent with the length direction of the battery monomer 21, and the third direction Z consistent with the height direction of the battery monomer 21 as an example for description.
[0096] The connecting assembly 60 includes a first connecting piece 61 and a second connecting piece 62, the first connecting piece 61 can be arranged on the battery monomer 21 and electrically connected with the battery monomer 21, the second connecting piece 62 can be arranged on the circuit board 50 and electrically connected with the circuit board 50, or the first connecting piece 61 can be arranged on the circuit board 50 and electrically connected with the circuit board 50, and the second connecting piece 62 can be arranged on the battery monomer 21 and electrically connected with the battery monomer 21. The first connecting piece 61 and the second connecting piece 62 can move relative to the arrangement direction of the plurality of battery monomers 21, and are always electrically connected during and after the movement.
[0097] For the convenience of description, the present application only takes the first connecting piece 61 arranged on the battery monomer 21 and the second connecting piece 62 arranged on the circuit board 50 as an example for description.
[0098] When the first connecting member 61 is arranged on the battery monomer 21, when the battery monomer 21 deforms, including when the battery monomer 21 deforms due to its own expansion or when the battery monomer 21 is extruded due to external impact, the position of the first connecting member 61 arranged on the battery monomer 21 changes, while the position of the second connecting member 62 arranged on the circuit board 50 does not change, so the relative position of the first connecting member 61 and the second connecting member 62 changes. Since the first connecting member 61 can move relative to the second connecting member 62 in the first direction X, and the first connecting member 61 after moving can be electrically connected with the second connecting member 62, the deformed battery monomer 21 can still be electrically connected with the circuit board 50 through the connecting assembly 60, reducing the connection failure between the battery monomer 21 and the circuit board 50 caused by the deformation of the battery monomer 21, so that the information of the battery monomer 21, including the voltage and temperature of the battery monomer 21, can be effectively collected through the circuit board 50.
[0099] In combination Figures 5 to 7 As shown in the drawings, in some embodiments of the present application, the first connecting member 61 includes a first body part 611, and the second connecting member 62 includes a second body part 621, one of the first body part 611 and the second body part 621 is arranged on the battery monomer 21 and electrically connected with the battery monomer 21, the other of the first body part 611 and the second body part 621 is arranged on the circuit board 50 and electrically connected with the circuit board 50, and the first body part 611 and the second body part 621 can move relative to each other in the first direction X and be electrically connected.
[0100] Specifically, the first body part 611 and the second body part 621 are conductive members respectively, the first body part 611 is arranged on the battery monomer 21 and electrically connected with the electrode terminal 214 of the battery monomer 21, and can change position with the deformation of the battery monomer 21. The second body part 621 is arranged on the circuit board 50 and electrically connected with the circuit board of the circuit board 50. Optionally, the first body part 611 and the second body part 621 are plate-shaped structures respectively, and the plate surface of the first body part 611 and the plate surface of the second body part 621 are arranged relative to each other in the third direction Z and are attached, so as to realize the electrical connection of the first body part 611 and the second body part 621.
[0101] When the first body part 611 changes position with the deformation of the battery monomer 21 in the first direction X, the first body part 611 moves relative to the second body part 621 in the first direction X, since the first body part 611 and the second body part 621 are arranged to be able to move relative to each other in the first direction X and be electrically connected, so that the first connecting member 61 and the second connecting member 62 are always electrically connected during the relative movement, and then the circuit board 50 and the battery monomer 21 are electrically connected through the first connecting member 61 and the second connecting member 62.
[0102] In combination Figures 5 to 7As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the first connecting member 61 also includes a first connecting portion provided on the first main body portion 611, and the second connecting member 62 also includes a second connecting portion provided on the second main body portion 621, and the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are configured to be able to move relative to each other along the first direction X and to be limitedly matched.
[0103] Specifically, the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion cooperate to limit the relative position of the first main portion 611 and the second main portion 621, thereby maintaining electrical connection between the first main portion 611 and the second main portion 621 during relative movement of the first connecting member 61 and the second connecting member 62. Since the first connecting member 61 and the second connecting member 62 are electrically connected via the first main portion 611 and the second main portion 621, the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion serve only as position limits. Therefore, the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion can be configured as either a conductive structure or a non-conductive structure.
[0104] When the battery cell 21 is deformed along the first direction X, the first main body 611 and the first connecting portion can change position following the deformation of the battery cell 21. By configuring the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion to be able to move relative to each other along the first direction X, the first connecting portion can still be connected to the second connecting portion after the position change, thereby electrically connecting the first main body 611 and the second main body 621, and then electrically connecting the circuit board 50 and the battery cell 21 through the first connecting member 61 and the second connecting member 62.
[0105] Combine Figures 5 to 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the first connecting portion includes a plug-in slot 612, and the second connecting portion includes a plug-in column 622, the plug-in column 622 is plugged into the plug-in slot 612, and the plug-in column 622 and the plug-in slot 612 are configured to be able to move relative to each other along the first direction X.
[0106] Specifically, the second main body 621 is provided with a plug-in column 622 protruding in the direction of the first main body 611, and the first main body 611 is provided with a plug-in slot 612. The plug-in column 622 is plugged into the plug-in slot 612, thereby limiting the relative position of the plug-in column 622 and the plug-in slot 612 in a plane perpendicular to the plug-in direction of the plug-in column 622, so that the plug-in column 622 is always in the plug-in slot 612, thereby ensuring that the first main body 611 is always in contact with and electrically connected to the second main body 621. The plug-in slot 612 can be a through slot or a blind slot. The through slot is along the plug-in direction of the plug-in column 622 and the plug-in slot 612 passes through the first main body 611. The blind slot is along the plug-in direction of the plug-in column 622 and the plug-in slot 612 does not pass through the first main body 611. The movement of the plug-in column 622 relative to the plug-in slot 612 at least includes movement along the first direction X.
[0107] In some embodiments of the present application, one of the first connecting part and the second connecting part is provided with a sliding groove (not shown in the figure), and the other is provided with a protrusion (not shown in the figure), the sliding groove and the protrusion respectively extend along the first direction X, and the protrusion is inserted into the sliding groove and can slide along the first direction X.
[0108] The form of the insertion column 622 and the insertion groove 612 is convenient to set, and the insertion groove 612 can limit the movement range of the insertion column 622, so that the insertion column 622 can only move within the range of the insertion groove 612 and can move along the first direction X, reducing the failure of the electrical connection between the first main body part 611 and the second main body part 621 due to the disengagement of the insertion column 622 from the insertion groove 612.
[0109] In combination Figures 5 to 8 As shown in some embodiments of the present application, along the first direction X, the size of the insertion groove 612 is greater than the size of the insertion column 622.
[0110] By setting the size of the insertion groove 612 to be greater than the size of the insertion column 622 along the first direction X, the insertion column 622 can move within the insertion groove 612 along the first direction X, so that when the battery monomer 21 deforms along the first direction X and the relative position of the first connecting part 61 and the second connecting part 62 along the first direction X changes, the insertion column 622 can move along the first direction X and electrically connect the first main body part 611 and the second main body part 621.
[0111] In combination Figures 5 to 8 As shown in some embodiments of the present application, along the second direction Y, the size of the insertion groove 612 is greater than the size of the insertion column 622, the second direction Y intersects the first direction X, and the first direction X and the second direction Y are respectively perpendicular to the insertion direction of the insertion column 622.
[0112] Specifically, in addition to deforming along the first direction X, the battery monomer 21 can also deform along the second direction Y. The second direction Y intersects the first direction Z, and the first direction Z and the second direction Y are respectively perpendicular to the insertion direction of the insertion column 622. Since the second connecting part 62 can change position along with the deformation of the battery monomer 21 along the second direction Y, causing the first connecting part 61 and the second connecting part 62 to move relatively along the second direction Y, the size of the insertion groove 612 is set to be greater than the size of the insertion column 622 along the second direction Y, so that the first connecting part 61 and the second connecting part 62 can move relatively along the second direction Y and be electrically connected.
[0113] By setting the size of the insertion slot 612 to be larger than the size of the insertion post 622 along the second direction Y, the insertion post 622 can be moved within the insertion slot 612 along the second direction Y, so that when the battery cell 21 deforms along the second direction Y and the relative position of the first connecting member 61 and the second connecting member 62 along the second direction Y changes, the insertion post 622 can move along the second direction Y and electrically connect the first main body part 611 and the second main body part 621.
[0114] In combination Figures 5 to 8 As shown in some embodiments of the present application, the insertion slot 612 is a through slot through the first main body part 611, the insertion post 622 passes through the insertion slot 612 at an end away from the second main body part 621 and is provided with a limiting head 623, and part of the first main body part 611 is arranged between the limiting head 623 and the second main body part 621; wherein along the second direction Y, the size of the limiting head 623 is larger than the size of the insertion slot 612, the second direction Y intersects the first direction X, and the first direction X and the second direction Y are respectively perpendicular to the insertion direction of the insertion post 622, and / or along the first direction X, the size of the limiting head 623 is larger than the size of the insertion slot 612.
[0115] Specifically, the insertion slot 612 is a through slot through the first main body part 611 along the insertion direction of the insertion post 622, one end of the insertion post 622 is connected to the second main body part 621, and the other end of the insertion post 622 passes through the insertion slot 612 and is arranged on the side of the first main body part 611 away from the second main body part 621. The limiting head 623 is arranged on the side of the first main body part 611 away from the second main body part 621 and is connected to the insertion post 622, so that part of the first main body part 611 is arranged between the limiting head 623 and the second main body part 621.
[0116] The insertion slot 612 can only limit the insertion post 622 in a plane perpendicular to the insertion direction of the insertion post 622, and when the battery cell 21 deforms along the insertion direction of the insertion post 622, the insertion post 622 may escape from the insertion slot 612 along the insertion direction, thereby causing the connection between the first connecting member 61 and the second connecting member 62 to fail, and further failing to be electrically connected. Therefore, the limiting head 623 needs to be provided and limit the insertion post 622 and the insertion slot 612 along the insertion direction of the insertion post 622. At the same time, in order to facilitate the movement of the insertion post 622 within the insertion slot 612, the distance between the limiting head 623 and the second main body part 621 along the insertion direction of the insertion post 622 is slightly larger than the size of the first main body part 611.
[0117] Optionally, the size of the limiting head 623 can be set to be larger than the size of the insertion slot 612 along the first direction X, and / or the size of the limiting head 623 can be set to be larger than the size of the insertion slot 612 along the second direction Y.
[0118] Optionally, to reduce the end of the limiting head 623 from scratching other components outside the battery assembly 40, the end of the limiting head 623 can be provided with a partial spherical surface.
[0119] By setting the size of the limiting head 623 to be larger than the size of the insertion slot 612, and by arranging the partial first body part 611 between the limiting head 623 and the second body part 621, the phenomenon of the insertion post 622 coming off the insertion slot 612 along the insertion direction of the insertion post 622 can be reduced, thereby limiting the position of the first body part 611 and the second body part 621 along the insertion direction of the insertion post 622, and further making the first body part 611 and the second body part 621 remain in close contact and electrically connected.
[0120] In combination Figures 5 to 8 As shown in some embodiments of the present application, the limiting head 623 and the insertion post 622 are in a rivet structure.
[0121] Specifically, since the limiting head 623 can limit the first body part 611 along the insertion direction of the insertion post 622, the insertion post 622 is connected to the second body part 621 after the first body part 611 and the second body part 621 are positioned. Optionally, when the relative position of the first body part 611 and the second body part 621 is fixed, the rivet structure can pass through the insertion slot 612 and be riveted to the second body part 621, thereby placing the insertion post 622 in the insertion slot 612, and reducing the insertion post 622 from coming off the insertion slot 612 along the insertion direction by the limiting of the limiting head 623. The rivet structure is convenient to arrange and reliable in connection.
[0122] In combination Figures 5 to 8 As shown in some embodiments of the present application, the limiting head 623 and the insertion post 622 are in a detachable structure.
[0123] Specifically, the end of the insertion post 622 away from the second body part 621 is detachable from the limiting head 623, including screw connection, clamping, or connection through a connecting piece, so that the insertion post 622 can be connected to the limiting head 623 after passing through the insertion slot 612. Optionally, the outer periphery of the end of the insertion post 622 away from the second body part 621 is provided with external threads, and the end of the limiting head 623 facing the insertion post 622 is provided with a bolt hole, which is sleeved on the end of the insertion post 622 and threadedly connected with the external threads.
[0124] When the first connecting piece 61 and the second connecting piece 62 need to be assembled, the insertion column 622 is inserted into the insertion slot 612 and then assembled with the limiting head 623, so as to facilitate the assembly of the first connecting piece 61 and the second connecting piece 62; when the first connecting piece 61 and the second connecting piece 62 need to be disassembled, the limiting head 623 is separated from the insertion column 622, and then the insertion column 622 is withdrawn along the insertion direction to the outside of the insertion slot 612, so as to facilitate the disassembly of the first connecting piece 61 and the second connecting piece 62.
[0125] In combination Figures 5 to 8 As shown in the drawings, in some embodiments of the present application, the plurality of battery monomers 21 are electrically connected by the conductive sheet 70 and form a battery monomer assembly 20, and the first connecting piece 61 is electrically connected with the battery monomer 21 through the conductive sheet 70.
[0126] Specifically, the conductive sheet 70 is used to electrically connect at least two battery monomers 21. When the number of battery monomers 21 is greater than two, the number of conductive sheets 70 can be multiple, and the plurality of battery monomers 21 are connected into the battery monomer assembly 20 by the plurality of conductive sheets 70. Among them, the two conductive sheets 70 located at both ends along the first direction X are respectively provided with a first connecting terminal 71 and a second connecting terminal 72, one of the first connecting terminal 71 and the second connecting terminal 72 is used to connect the positive electrode of the battery monomer 21 and is used as the positive output terminal of the battery monomer assembly 20, and the other of the first connecting terminal 71 and the second connecting terminal 72 is used to connect the negative electrode of the battery monomer 21 and is used as the negative output terminal of the battery monomer assembly 20. The conductive sheet 70 is arranged on the battery monomer 21 and is electrically connected with the electrode terminal 214, and the first connecting piece 61 can be arranged on the conductive sheet 70 and is electrically connected with the conductive sheet 70, so that the first connecting piece 61 can be arranged on the battery monomer 21 through the conductive sheet 70 and is electrically connected with the electrode terminal 214 of the battery monomer 21. Optionally, the conductive sheet 70 can be an aluminum bar.
[0127] The plurality of battery monomers 21 are electrically connected by the conductive sheet 70 and form the battery monomer assembly 20, so that the battery monomer assembly 20 can be used to supply power to the electric device, and meanwhile, the conductive sheet 70 is convenient to connect with the first connecting piece 61, so as to realize the electrical connection between the battery monomer 21 and the first connecting piece 61.
[0128] In combination Figures 5 to 8 As shown in the drawings, in some embodiments of the present application, the first connecting piece 61 is a metal sheet, and the metal sheet is welded to the conductive sheet.
[0129] Specifically, the metal sheet is convenient to manufacture and to be welded with the conductive sheet 70. Alternatively, the first main body part 611 of the first connecting member 61 is the metal sheet, and the first main body part 611 is welded with the conductive sheet 70. The metal sheet can be an aluminum sheet, an aluminum alloy sheet, a copper sheet or a copper alloy sheet.
[0130] By setting the first connecting member 61 as the metal sheet, the first connecting member 61 is convenient to be welded with the conductive sheet 70 and to be electrically connected with the battery monomer 21 through the conductive sheet 70.
[0131] In combination Figures 5 to 8 As shown in some embodiments of the present application, the second connecting member 62 is an adapter terminal, and the adapter terminal is welded with the circuit board 50.
[0132] Specifically, the adapter terminal is welded with the circuit board of the circuit board 50. The adapter terminal is in a sheet structure, so as to be convenient to be welded with the circuit board 50 and to be led out and connected with the first connecting member 61. Alternatively, the second main body part 621 of the second connecting member 62 is the adapter terminal, and the adapter terminal can be an aluminum sheet, an aluminum alloy sheet, a copper sheet or a copper alloy sheet.
[0133] By setting the second connecting member 62 as the adapter terminal, the adapter terminal can be welded with the circuit board 50 and electrically connected with the first connecting member 61, so as to collect the information of the battery monomer 21 through the circuit board 50.
[0134] In combination Figures 5 to 8 As shown in some embodiments of the present application, the battery assembly 40 includes a plurality of connecting assemblies 60, the plurality of connecting assemblies 60 are arranged at intervals along the first direction X, the plurality of connecting assemblies 60 are arranged one by one with the plurality of battery monomers 21, and any battery monomer 21 is electrically connected with the circuit board 50 through the connecting assembly 60.
[0135] Specifically, the number of the connecting assemblies 60 is consistent with the number of the battery monomers 21, the plurality of connecting assemblies 60 are arranged at intervals along the first direction X, and any battery monomer 21 is electrically connected with the circuit board 50 through one connecting assembly 60. Since the battery monomer 21 has two electrode terminals 214, and the two electrode terminals 214 are arranged at intervals along the second direction Y. Therefore, the plurality of connecting assemblies 60 can be arranged on both sides of the circuit board 50 along the second direction Y, and arranged at intervals along the first direction X, so that the electrode terminals 214 on different sides of the adjacent two battery monomers 21 are electrically connected with the circuit board 50 through the connecting assemblies 60.
[0136] By providing multiple connecting assemblies 60 and arranging the multiple connecting assemblies 60 in one-to-one correspondence with the multiple battery cells 21, when the battery cell 21 is deformed along the first direction X, the first connecting member 61 and the second connecting member 62 in any connecting assembly 60 can move relative to each other along the first direction X, so that the battery cell 21 is always electrically connected to the circuit board 50 through the connecting assembly 60, and information of the multiple battery cells 21 is collected through the circuit board 50.
[0137] Combine Figures 9 to 11 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the battery cell 21 includes a first surface 215 having the largest area, and the first direction X is perpendicular to the first surface 215 .
[0138] Specifically, the length and height of the battery cell 21 are respectively greater than the width of the battery cell 21 , and the first surface 215 has a length and a height. The first direction X coincides with the width of the battery cell 21 and is perpendicular to the length and height of the battery cell 21 , such that the first direction X is perpendicular to the first surface 215 .
[0139] When the interior of the battery cell 21 expands, the first surface 215 with the largest area is easily deformed in a direction perpendicular to its own surface under the action of internal pressure. By arranging the first surface 215 perpendicular to the first direction X, that is, the first surface 215 expands and deforms along the first direction X, since the first connector 61 can move relative to the second connector 62 along the first direction X, and the first connector 61 can still be electrically connected to the second connector 62 after movement, the deformed battery cell 21 can still be electrically connected to the circuit board 50 through the connecting assembly 60, thereby reducing the connection failure with the circuit board 50 caused by the deformation of the battery cell 21, thereby effectively collecting information about the battery cell 21 through the circuit board 50.
[0140] Combine Figures 6 to 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the first connector 61 can be provided on the circuit board 50 and electrically connected to the circuit board 50, and the second connector 62 can be provided on the battery cell 21 and electrically connected to the battery cell 21. Optionally, the second connector 62 and the first connector 61 can be provided in the same manner. Figures 2 to 5The setting method of the embodiment in the embodiment is consistent. Among them, the first connecting member 61 includes a first main body 611 and a plug-in slot 612. The first main body 611 is provided on the battery cell 21 through the conductive sheet 70 and is electrically connected to the battery cell 21 through the conductive sheet 70. The second connecting member 62 includes a second main body 621, a plug-in column 622 and a limit head 623. The second main body 621 is provided on the circuit board 50 and is electrically connected to the circuit board 50. The first main body 611 is provided on the side of the second main body 621 away from the circuit board 50 and is in contact with the second main body 621. The second main body 621 is provided with a plug-in column 622 protruding toward one side of the first main body 611. The plug-in column 622 is plugged into the plug-in slot 612, and a limit head 623 is provided at the end of the plug-in column 622 away from the second main body 621.
