[0090] In battery production, a pressure relief mechanism is usually arranged in a battery cell, and the pressure relief mechanism can relieve pressure when the battery cell is in thermal runaway. However, the reliability of the pressure relief mechanism still needs to be improved.

When the battery cell is in thermal runaway, part of the gas in the shell is blocked by the first heat-conducting part and cannot directly act on the pressure relief mechanism, resulting in insufficient reliability of the pressure relief mechanism.

When the battery cell is in thermal runaway, the pressure in the shell can act on the pressure relief mechanism through the pressure relief hole, so as to smoothly start the pressure relief mechanism, thereby improving the reliability of the pressure relief mechanism of the battery cell.

[0127] The first aspect, as shown in Figure 4 to Figure 8 , the present application provides a battery monomer 3, the battery monomer 3 includes a shell 4, an electrode assembly 5 and a heat conduction assembly 8, the shell 4 is provided with a pressure relief mechanism 41; the electrode assembly 5 is located in the shell 4; the heat conduction assembly 8 includes a first heat conduction part 81, the first heat conduction part 81 and the electrode assembly 5 are in thermal connection, wherein the first heat conduction part 81 is arranged between the electrode assembly 5 and the pressure relief mechanism 41, the first heat conduction part 81 is provided with a pressure relief hole 811 penetrating through the first heat conduction part 81 along a first direction X, along the first direction X, the orthographic projection of the pressure relief mechanism 41 and the orthographic projection of the pressure relief hole 811 at least partially coincide.
[0128] In the scheme of the embodiment of the present application, the battery monomer 3 includes a shell 4, an electrode assembly 5 and a heat conduction assembly 8, the shell 4 is provided with a pressure relief mechanism 41 for releasing the pressure in the shell 4, the shell 4 is provided with the electrode assembly 5, the heat conduction assembly 8 includes a first heat conduction part 81, the first heat conduction part 81 and the electrode assembly 5 are in thermal connection, the rate of heat exchange between the electrode main body 52 and the external environment is improved, the first heat conduction part 81 is arranged between the electrode assembly 5 and the pressure relief mechanism 41, the first heat conduction part 81 is provided with a pressure relief hole 811 penetrating through the first heat conduction part 81 along a first direction X, along the first direction X, the orthographic projection of the pressure relief mechanism 41 and the orthographic projection of the pressure relief hole 811 at least partially coincide, so that at least part of the pressure relief mechanism 41 is exposed by the pressure relief hole 811, so that when the battery monomer 3 is in thermal runaway, the internal pressure of the shell 4 can act on the pressure relief mechanism 41 through the pressure relief hole 811, prompting the pressure relief mechanism 41 to start smoothly, so as to improve the reliability of the pressure relief mechanism 41 of the battery monomer 3.
[0129] The electrode assembly 5 includes an electrode body 52 and a tab 51, the electrode body 52 includes a first end face 521, a second end face 522 and a side face 523 connecting the first end face 521 and the second end face 522, and the tab 51 is connected to the electrode body 52. The electrode body 52 is formed by a separator, a positive electrode sheet and a negative electrode sheet in a winding or stacking manner. The tab 51 includes a positive tab and a negative tab, and both the positive tab and the negative tab extend out of the first end face 521 or the second end face 522.
[0130] For example, the battery cell 3 further includes a top cover assembly 6 connected to the tab 51, the housing 4 includes an opening at one end close to the first end face 521 in the first direction X, and the top cover assembly 6 covers the opening. An electrode terminal can be arranged on the top cover assembly 6, and the positive tab and the negative tab extend out of the first end face 521 and are connected to the electrode terminal on the top cover assembly 6.
[0131] For example, the first direction X is a height direction of the electrode assembly 5, the first end face 521 and the second end face 522 are arranged opposite to each other in the first direction, the tab 51 extends out of the first end face 521, and the pressure relief hole 811 is arranged between the second end face 522 and the pressure relief mechanism 41. Alternatively, the first direction X is a length or width direction of the electrode assembly 5, the arrangement direction of the first end face 521 and the second end face 522 intersects the first direction, the tab 51 extends out of the first end face 521 or the second end face 522, and the pressure relief hole 811 is arranged between the side face 523 and the pressure relief mechanism 41.
[0132] For example, the pressure relief mechanism 41 is actuated to release the internal pressure or temperature when the internal pressure or temperature of the battery cell 3 reaches a predetermined threshold. When the internal pressure or temperature of the battery cell 3 reaches the predetermined threshold, the pressure relief mechanism 41 performs an action or a weak structure provided in the pressure relief mechanism 41 is damaged, thereby forming an opening or a passage for the internal pressure or temperature to be released. The threshold is designed differently according to different design requirements. The threshold can depend on the material of one or more of the positive electrode sheet, the negative electrode sheet, the electrolyte and the separator in the battery cell.
[0133] For example, the pressure relief mechanism 41 can be integrally formed with the housing 4, for example, a notch is made on the housing 4 to form a weak structure, and the weak structure serves as the pressure relief mechanism 41.
[0134] The pressure relief mechanism 41 can also be provided separately from the housing 4 and connected to the housing 4, for example, the pressure relief mechanism 41 is connected to the housing 4 by welding or other components. For example, a notch is provided on the pressure relief mechanism 41 to form a weak structure.
[0135] For example, the pressure relief mechanism 41 can take the form of a relief valve, a balance valve, a gas valve, a pressure relief valve or a safety valve, etc.
[0136] The "actuation" mentioned in the present application refers to the action or activation of the pressure relief mechanism 41 to a certain state, so that the internal pressure and temperature of the battery monomer 3 can be released. The action of the pressure relief mechanism 41 can include but is not limited to: the movement of the components in the pressure relief mechanism 41 to form an exhaust passage, the rupture, fragmentation, tearing or opening of at least a part of the pressure relief mechanism 41, etc. When the pressure relief mechanism 41 is actuated, the high-temperature and high-pressure substances in the interior of the battery monomer 3 will be discharged outward from the actuated part as exhaust. In this way, the battery monomer 3 can be depressurized and cooled at a controllable pressure or temperature, thereby avoiding potential more serious accidents.
[0137] The exhaust from the battery monomer 3 mentioned in the present application includes but is not limited to: electrolyte, dissolved or split positive and negative electrode plates, fragments of separator film, high-temperature and high-pressure gases generated by reaction, flames, etc.
[0138] The first heat-conducting part 81 is in heat-conducting connection with the electrode assembly 5, so that the first heat-conducting part 81 is directly attached to or abuts against the electrode body 52; or the first heat-conducting part 81 is a plating layer provided on the electrode body 52; or the first heat-conducting part 81 is spaced apart from the electrode body 52, and the first heat-conducting part 81 is connected to the electrode body 52 through a heat-conducting medium, which can be air or metal or heat-conducting glue, etc.
[0139] During the operation of the battery monomer 3, the heat generated by the electrode body 52 can be transmitted to the external environment through the heat-conducting assembly 8, thereby improving the problem of damage of the electrode body 52 due to excessively high temperature; or in a low-temperature environment, the heat-conducting assembly 8 can conduct the heat from the external environment to the electrode body 52 to heat the electrode assembly 5.
[0140] Optionally, the battery device 2 comprises a heat exchange mechanism, the shell 4 of the battery monomer 3 is in heat-conducting connection with the heat exchange mechanism, and the heat-conducting assembly 8 can conduct heat between the heat exchange mechanism and the electrode assembly 5. The heat exchange mechanism can conduct heat into or out of the heat-conducting assembly 8.
[0141] Exemplarily, the heat exchange mechanism can be a water-cooled plate or a phase-change heat dissipation plate provided on the outer surface of the battery monomer 3, or a cavity containing a heat exchange medium.
[0142] The first heat-conducting part 81 can be in a strip shape or a flat plate shape or a mesh plate shape, etc. The first heat-conducting part 81 can be in a rectangular shape or a circular shape or a rhombic shape, etc. The specific shape and size of the first heat-conducting part 81 can be designed flexibly.
[0143] The first heat-conducting part 81 is provided with a pressure relief hole 811 penetrating therethrough. The shape and size of the pressure relief hole 811 can be designed as desired. Exemplarily, the pressure relief hole 811 is a circular hole or a rectangular hole, etc.
[0144] The at least partial pressure relief mechanism 41 is exposed by the pressure relief hole 811, the at least partial pressure relief mechanism 41 is coincided with the orthographic projection of the first heat conduction part 81, the gas inside the shell 4 can directly act on the pressure relief mechanism 41 through the pressure relief hole 811 along the first direction X, so that the gas inside the shell 4 can start the pressure relief mechanism 41 to release the pressure inside the shell 4 when the battery monomer 3 is in thermal runaway.
[0145] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 , along the first direction X, the orthographic projection of the pressure relief hole 811 is completely located in the orthographic projection range of the pressure relief mechanism 41.
[0146] In these embodiments, along the first direction X, the orthographic projection of the pressure relief hole 811 is completely located in the orthographic projection range of the pressure relief mechanism 41, and the pressure relief mechanism 41 is completely exposed to the pressure relief hole 811, so that the pressure inside the shell 4 can uniformly act on the entire pressure relief mechanism 41 through the pressure relief hole 811, thereby improving the reliability of the pressure relief mechanism 41.
[0147] Optionally, the pressure relief hole 811 and the pressure relief mechanism 41 are the same shape, so that in the case that the orthographic projection of the pressure relief hole 811 is completely located in the orthographic projection range of the pressure relief mechanism 41 along the first direction X, the size of the pressure relief hole 811 is reduced, and the heat conduction efficiency of the first heat conduction part 81 is improved. For example, the pressure relief mechanism 41 is circular, and the pressure relief hole 811 is a circular hole; the pressure relief mechanism 41 is elliptical, and the pressure relief hole 811 is a waist-shaped hole, etc.
[0148] Please refer to Figure 9 , Figure 9 is a partial structure schematic diagram of a battery monomer provided by an embodiment of the application.
[0149] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 、 Figure 7 and Figure 9 , the electrode assembly 5 is provided with a plurality of electrode assemblies 5, the plurality of electrode assemblies 5 are arranged along the second direction Y, the first direction X and the second direction Y intersect, the heat conduction assembly 8 further includes a second heat conduction part 82, the first heat conduction part 81 and the second heat conduction part 82 are connected, the second heat conduction part 82 is arranged between two adjacent electrode assemblies 5, the two side surfaces of the second heat conduction part 82 along the second direction Y and the first heat conduction part 81 form two accommodation spaces 821 for accommodating the electrode assembly 5, and the two accommodation spaces 821 are in communication with the pressure relief hole 811.
[0150] In the embodiments, the plurality of electrode assemblies 5 are arranged along the second direction Y to improve the capacity of the battery cell 3. The heat conduction assembly 8 further comprises a second heat conduction part 82 arranged between two adjacent electrode assemblies 5. The first heat conduction part 81 and the second heat conduction part 82 are connected. The second heat conduction part 82 is used to conduct the heat of the adjacent electrode assemblies 5 and transfer to the first heat conduction part 81. The two side surfaces of the second heat conduction part 82 along the second direction Y and the first heat conduction part 81 form two accommodation spaces 821 for accommodating the electrode assemblies 5. The two accommodation spaces 821 are both in communication with the pressure relief hole 811, so as to improve the problem that the pressure in the two accommodation spaces 821 cannot be transferred to the pressure relief mechanism 41 due to the blockage of the first heat conduction part 81 when the battery cell 3 is in thermal runaway, resulting in slow pressure relief rate of the battery cell 3 and insufficient reliability of the battery cell 3.
[0151] The heat between the adjacent electrode assemblies 5 is not easy to exchange with the outside through the shell 4. Therefore, in the embodiments, the second heat conduction part 82 is arranged between the adjacent electrode assemblies 5. The heat of the two adjacent electrode assemblies 5 is transferred to the second heat conduction part 82 and then transferred to the first heat conduction part 81 by the second heat conduction part 82. The heat exchanges with the outside environment at the first heat conduction part 81.
[0152] Optionally, the heat conduction assembly 8 comprises a first heat conduction part 81 and a second heat conduction part 82. The two electrode assemblies 5 are arranged on the same side of the first heat conduction part 81. The second heat conduction part 82 is arranged between the two electrode assemblies 5 and connected to the middle region of the first heat conduction part 81. The two side surfaces of the second heat conduction part 82 and the first heat conduction part 81 form two accommodation spaces 821. A pressure relief hole 811 extends on both sides of the second heat conduction part 82, which reduces the processing difficulty of the pressure relief hole 811, so that the two accommodation spaces 821 are in communication with the pressure relief hole 811. Alternatively, two pressure relief holes 811 are arranged on the first heat conduction part 81 at intervals. The second heat conduction part 82 is located between the two pressure relief holes 811. The two pressure relief holes 811 are respectively in communication with the two accommodation spaces 821, so as to reduce the setting area of a single pressure relief hole 811 and improve the structural strength of the first heat conduction part 81.
[0153] Illustratively, the heat conduction assembly 8 comprises two second heat conduction parts 82 and two first heat conduction parts 81. The two electrode assemblies 5 are arranged on the same side of the two first heat conduction parts 81. The two second heat conduction parts 82 are located between the two electrode assemblies 5. Each second heat conduction part 82 is connected to each first heat conduction part 81, or the first heat conduction part 81 and the second heat conduction part 82 are formed by bending the same base material, so as to reduce the processing difficulty of the heat conduction assembly 8. Each first heat conduction part 81 and each second heat conduction part 82 form an accommodation space 821. Each first heat conduction part 81 is provided with a pressure relief hole 811, so that each accommodation space 821 is in communication with the pressure relief hole 811.
[0154] Optionally, the pressure relief holes 811 are located at portions of the accommodation spaces 821 with the same area, so as to balance the pressure relief rates of the two accommodation spaces 821.

[0157] The second heat-conducting part 82 is provided with a communication hole 822, and the gases in the two accommodation spaces 821 can flow through the communication hole 822, so as to balance the pressure of the two accommodation spaces 821.
[0158] Optionally, the second heat-conducting part 82 is provided with at least two communication holes 822, so as to improve the flow rate of the gases.
[0159] Optionally, the communication hole 822 can be designed in various shapes and sizes, for example, the communication hole 822 can be a circular hole or a rectangular hole.
[0160] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 9 The communication hole 822 is arranged at one end of the second heat-conducting part 82 close to the first heat-conducting part 81.
[0161] In these embodiments, the middle region of the electrode assembly 5 generates more heat than the edge region, and therefore the communication hole 822 is arranged at one end of the second heat-conducting part 82 close to the first heat-conducting part 81 to avoid the middle region of the electrode assembly 5. In the case that the communication hole 822 connects the two accommodation spaces 821, the arrangement of the communication hole 822 improves the heat-conducting efficiency of the heat-conducting assembly 8.
[0162] The communication hole 822 is arranged at one end of the second heat-conducting part 82 close to the first heat-conducting part 81, and the size of the communication hole 822 along the first direction X to the first heat-conducting part 81 is less than half of the size of the second heat-conducting part 82 in the first direction X, so as to make the communication hole 822 avoid the middle region of the second heat-conducting part 82 in the first direction X.
[0163] During the operation of the electrode assembly 5, the temperature of one end of the electrode body 52 close to the tab 51 is relatively high, and the temperature of the other end away from the tab 51 is relatively low. The communication hole 822 is arranged at one end of the second heat-conducting part 82 close to the first heat-conducting part 81, so as to reduce the influence of the arrangement of the communication hole 822 on the heat-conducting performance of the heat-conducting assembly 8.
[0164] Optionally, the communication hole 822 is arranged at a side edge of the second heat conduction part 82 close to the first heat conduction part 81, so as to reduce the influence of the arrangement of the communication hole 822 on the heat conduction performance of the heat conduction assembly 8.
[0165] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 7 , Figure 9 the communication hole 822 and the pressure relief hole 811 are in communication.
[0166] In these embodiments, the communication hole 822 and the pressure relief hole 811 are in communication, so as to reduce the processing difficulty of the heat conduction assembly 8.
[0167] The communication hole 822 is arranged at a side edge of the second heat conduction part 82 close to the first heat conduction part 81, and the communication hole 822 is in coincidence with the pressure relief hole 811 in the orthographic projection of the first heat conduction part 81.

[0170] In these embodiments, the battery cell 3 further comprises a support assembly 9 arranged between the shell 4 and the electrode assembly 5, and the support assembly 9 forms a pressure relief space between the electrode assembly 5 and the shell 4, and the pressure relief space is used to buffer the internal pressure of the shell 4 when the battery cell 3 is in thermal runaway, so as to reduce the risk of explosion or deflagration of the battery cell 3 in a short time.
[0171] The support assembly 9 is arranged inside the shell 4 and supports the electrode assembly 5 from the shell 4, so as to form a pressure relief space between the electrode assembly 5 and the shell 4, so as to buffer the internal pressure of the shell 4 when the battery cell 3 is in thermal runaway. The specific size and shape of the support assembly 9 can be designed by itself.
[0172] Specifically, the first heat conduction part 81 is arranged between the support assembly 9 and the electrode assembly 5, and the support assembly 9 is arranged between the pressure relief hole 811 and the pressure relief mechanism 41; or the first heat conduction part 81 is arranged between the support assembly 9 and the shell 4, and the support assembly 9 is arranged between the pressure relief hole 811 and the electrode assembly 5.
[0173] Optionally, the support assembly 9 and the electrode assembly 5 are insulated from each other, so as to reduce the risk of accidental conduction of the electrode assembly 5 through the support assembly 9 and the shell 4.

At least two elevation portions 92 are arranged at intervals. The orthogonal projection of each elevation portion 92 in the first direction X is located within the insulation portion 91. The insulation portion 91 supports the electrode assembly 5, so as to increase the contact area of the electrode assembly 5 and the support assembly 9. Two or more elevation portions 92 provide a stable support effect on the insulation portion 91. The elevation portions 92 arranged at intervals provide a larger pressure relief space, so as to better buffer the pressure inside the shell 4.
[0198] For example, four elevation portions 92 are connected to the diagonal positions of the insulation portion 91, so as to improve the stability of the support assembly 9.
