Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power supply technology, and more specifically, to a power battery based on cylindrical cells. Background Technology

[0002] A power battery is a power source that provides power to tools, primarily referring to the batteries that power electric vehicles, electric trains, electric bicycles, and golf carts. In the automotive and motorcycle industries, they mainly provide electrical energy for starting and igniting engines and for the use of onboard electronic equipment. In industrial power systems, they are used in transmission and transformation stations to provide closing current for power units, as well as for providing backup power for public utilities and communication. In the electric vehicle and electric bicycle industries, they can replace gasoline and diesel as the power source for electric vehicles or electric bicycles.

[0003] Existing power batteries generally employ a square battery structure composed of multiple cylindrical cells arranged in a prismatic configuration, or a prismatic battery structure composed of square stacked or wound cores. With a square core structure, the spacing between the positive and negative electrodes is difficult to control during the winding process, affecting the battery's operating state, conductivity, performance, and lifespan. While a cylindrical core structure offers a more reliable winding process, easier core winding, and better control over electrode spacing without affecting performance and conductivity, it suffers from poor heat dissipation, larger volume due to gaps between the cylindrical cells, and installation inconvenience. Therefore, there is still room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a power battery based on cylindrical cells to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0015] Optionally, the control module includes: an isolation plate; the isolation plate is disposed at the upper end of the longitudinal stop; a control board is disposed on the isolation plate; the control board is electrically connected to the cylindrical battery cell assembly and the output component.

[0016] Specifically, the isolation plate is placed on the longitudinal stop, and there is a gap between the control board and the isolation plate, which can effectively isolate the control board and the cylindrical battery cell.

[0019] Optionally, the terminal block is provided with a fitting part; a guide groove is provided on the protective sleeve; the fitting part is slidably connected to the guide groove.

[0020] When power is needed for external electrical appliances, first separate the fitting part from the guide groove, and then separate the protective sleeve from the terminal block, so that the external electrical appliance can be plugged into the terminal block. After power is supplied, the external electrical appliance can be unplugged, and the protective sleeve can be put back on the fitting part to protect the terminal block.

[0021] Optionally, a lifting assembly may also be provided on the housing.

[0022] Specifically, the lifting assembly includes a mounting base and a handle. The mounting base is mounted on the housing, and the handle is rotatably connected to the mounting base. When needed, the power battery can be easily moved using the handle.
