Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all the other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0039] In the description of the specification, the terms 'one embodiment','some embodiments', 'exemplarily', 'example', or'some examples' and the like are intended to indicate that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics related to the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the application. The exemplary representation of the above terms does not necessarily mean the same embodiment or example. In addition, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics can be included in any one or more embodiments or examples in any appropriate manner.

[0040] Hereinafter, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are used only for descriptive purposes and should not be construed as implying relative importance or a specific number of technical features indicated. Thus, the features defined with "first", "second", etc. can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise stated, the meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more.

[0041] The pin member has an important influence on the battery, and the cracking of the pin member causes a decrease in strength and affects the overcurrent of the battery.

[0042] In the related art, the pole and the tab of the core package are electrically connected through the pin member. Generally, the shape of the pin member is relatively complex, so that the pin member has higher compatibility in space, facilitating the pin member to connect the pole and the tab at different positions in space, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the tab and the pole. The two ends of such a pin member are connected to the tab and the pole, respectively, but the middle part lacks support or constraint, resulting in that the pin member with such a structure is prone to cracking at the stress concentration position during use. In particular, the middle part of the pin member has low strength, and the stress concentration at the bending position during use will cause the pin member to break.

[0043] In view of this, the embodiments of the present application provide a pin member 13, which can be a positive pin member for realizing the electrical connection between the positive pole and the positive tab, or a negative pin member for realizing the electrical connection between the negative pole and the negative tab. The material of the pin member 13 can be various. For example, the material of the pin member 13 includes but is not limited to copper, nickel, steel and alloys thereof, etc. The specific structure of the pin member 13 will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings.

[0044] Referring to Figures 1 to 4 The pin member 13 includes a tab connecting segment 131, an adapter segment 132 and a pole connecting segment 133 connected in sequence.

[0045] The adapter segment 132 is bently connected to the tab connecting segment 131, and the adapter segment 132 and the tab connecting segment 131 have a first included angle a1 therebetween. The pole connecting segment 133 is bently connected to the adapter segment 132, and part of the pole connecting segment 133 is arranged in overlapping manner with the adapter segment 132.

[0046] It can be understood that the pin member 13 has two bent positions, and the bent position between the pole connecting segment 133 and the adapter segment 132 forms a first crease 134, and the bent position between the adapter segment 132 and the tab connecting segment 131 forms a second crease 135.

[0047] In this embodiment, the material is accumulated at the overlapping position by overlapping the partial pole post connecting section 133 and the adapter section 132. When the pin member 13 is subjected to a pulling force, the adapter section 132 and the pole post connecting section 133 can constrain each other, avoiding the pole post connecting section 133 and the tab connecting section 131 from moving away from each other. When the pin member 13 is subjected to a pressing force, the adapter section 132 and the pole post connecting section 133 can support each other, and the bending position between the adapter section 132 and the pole post connecting section 133 is not prone to fatigue, thus reducing the risk of stress concentration and cracking at the bending position of the pin member 13.

[0048] With reference to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the first included angle a1 is in the range of 87° to 92°. It should be understood that the smaller the first included angle a1, the greater the bending amplitude of the tab connecting section 131 and the adapter section 132, and the greater the first included angle, the smaller the bending amplitude of the tab connecting section 131 and the adapter section 132. If the bending amplitude of the tab connecting section 131 and the adapter section 132 is too large, the material at the bending position will be severely deformed, and the bending position is prone to cracking or breaking. If the bending amplitude of the tab connecting section 131 and the adapter section 132 is too small, the pin member 13 is prone to plastic deformation when subjected to a force, and the carrying capacity and stiffness are reduced. Therefore, when the first included angle is in the range of 87° to 92°, the pin member 13 is not prone to cracking or breaking, and the pin member 13 has a higher carrying capacity and stiffness. At the same time, the risk of interference between the tab connecting section 131 and other components in the thickness direction of the tab connecting section 131 during use is also reduced to a great extent.

[0049] For example, the first included angle can be 87°, 87.5°, 88°, 88.5°, 90°, 91°, 91.5°, 92°, and any value therebetween.

[0050] Alternatively, the first included angle is 90°, in other words, the thickness direction Z of the pole post connecting section is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the adapter section 132.

[0051] In some embodiments, the orthogonal projection of the adapter section 132 falls completely within the orthogonal projection of the pole post connecting section 133 in the same projection plane perpendicular to the thickness direction Z of the pole post connecting section. In this way, the adapter section 132 can overlap the pole post connecting section 133 to a great extent.

[0052] The pole post connecting section 133 can extend along the thickness direction Y of the tab connecting section (as shown in Figure 5 The pole post connecting section 133 can also extend along the width direction of the tab connecting section 131 (as shown in Figures 1 to 4 Unlike the embodiment shown in Figure 5 , in the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 4In the shown embodiment, the pole post connecting section 133 extends substantially along the width direction of the tab connecting section 131, so that the pole post connecting section 133 can be located to a larger extent laterally of the tab connecting section 131, facilitating the connection of the pole post connecting section 133 with the pole post 12 laterally of the tab connecting section 131.

[0053] With reference to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the angle a2 between the extension direction X of the pole post connecting section and the thickness direction Y of the tab connecting section is in the range of 87° to 90°. With such an arrangement, the pole post connecting section 133 can be bent to a larger extent to one side of the width direction of the tab connecting section 131, facilitating the connection of the pole post connecting section 133 with the pole post (to be mentioned later). Also, in the case that the pole post connecting section 133 is located to the side of the adapter section 132 facing the tab connecting section 131, the pole post connecting section 133 is less likely to interfere with the tab connecting section 131 when being bent.

[0054] Exemplarily, the angle between the extension direction X of the pole post connecting section and the thickness direction Y of the tab connecting section can be 87°, 87.2°, 87.5°, 88°, 88.2°, 88.5°, 88.7°, 90°, and any value in between.

[0055] In some embodiments, the extension direction X of the pole post connecting section is perpendicular to the thickness direction Y of the tab connecting section. In other words, the angle between the extension direction X of the pole post connecting section and the thickness direction Y of the tab connecting section is 90°.

[0056] Further, the thickness direction Y of the tab connecting section, the thickness direction Z of the pole post connecting section, and the extension direction X of the pole post connecting section are perpendicular to each other.

[0057] With reference to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the first crease 134 has a second angle a3 with the extension direction X of the pole post connecting section. The second angle can also be understood as the inclination angle of the first crease 134 with respect to the pole post connecting section 133. It can be understood that the first crease 134 is inclined with respect to the extension direction X of the pole post connecting section. With such an arrangement, it is facilitated to bend a straight strip-shaped metal piece to form the pin member 13. Compared with an L-shaped plate-shaped metal piece, a straight strip-shaped metal piece can have a smaller corner or no corner, which can alleviate the cracking of the metal piece during the bending process or alleviate the cracking of the pin member 13 during use.

[0058] In some embodiments, the second included angle is in a range from 40° to 50°. The second included angle is less than 50°, so that the inclination angle of the first fold 134 is not too large, and the pole post connecting segment 133 is not easily interfered with the tab connecting segment 131. The second included angle is greater than 40°, so that the pole post connecting segment 133 is extended to the width direction of the tab connecting segment 131 to a large extent, facilitating the connection of the pole post connecting segment 133 with the pole post 12.

[0059] Exemplarily, the second included angle can be 40°, 41°, 42°, 43°, 44°, 45°, 46°, 47°, 48°, 49°, 50°, and any value therebetween.

[0060] Compared with the adapter segment 132, the pole post connecting segment 133 can be located on the side of the adapter segment 132 away from the tab connecting segment 131 (as shown in the embodiment of Figure 6 ), or the pole post connecting segment 133 can be located on the side of the adapter segment 132 facing the tab connecting segment 131 (as shown in the embodiment of Figures 1 to 4 ). Compared with the embodiment shown in Figure 6 , in the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 4 , the pole post connecting segment 133 is located on the side of the adapter segment 132 facing the tab connecting segment 131, so that the pole post connecting segment 133 does not occupy additional Z-direction space, allowing the pin member 13 to have a smaller Z-direction size.

[0061] In some embodiments, the pole post connecting segment 133 is located on the side of the adapter segment 132 facing the tab connecting segment 131, and the first included angle α1 is in a range from 87° to 92°. By the first included angle α1 being in a range from 87° to 92°, the risk of interference between the pole post connecting segment 133 and the tab connecting segment 131 can be greatly reduced.

[0062] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in some embodiments, the pole post connecting segment 133 includes a first segment 1331 and a second segment 1332, the first segment 1331 and the second segment 1332 are arranged along the extension direction X of the pole post connecting segment, the first segment 1331 is bent and connected with the adapter segment 132 and is arranged in an overlapping manner, the second segment 1332 is connected with the first segment 1331, and along the thickness direction Z of the pole post connecting segment, the first segment 1331 and the second segment 1332 are misaligned, the second segment 1332 is located at a different height position from the first segment 1331, so as to define a first avoiding slot 1333, and the opening of the first avoiding slot 1333 is directed to the side of the pole post connecting segment 133 away from the adapter segment 132.

[0063] By making the pole post connecting segment 133 include a first segment 1331 and a second segment 1332, and the second segment 1332 is located at a different height position than the first segment 1331 along the thickness direction Z of the pole post connecting segment, a first avoiding slot 1333 with a larger opening can be defined, and the possibility of interference between the second segment 1332 and the core package 20 is reduced, thereby greatly reducing the extrusion of the second segment 1332 on the core package 20.

[0064] Optionally, the first segment 1331 is diagonally bent with the adapter segment 132, so that the first segment 1331 and the adapter segment 132 overlap to a greater extent.

[0065] Optionally, the pole post connecting segment 133 is stamped to form the first avoiding slot 1333.

[0066] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the second segment 1332 is provided with a pole post mounting hole 13321, which penetrates the second segment 1332 along the thickness direction Z of the pole post connecting segment. The pole post mounting hole 13321 can have various shapes. For example, the shape of the pole post mounting hole 13321 includes but is not limited to a circular shape, an oval shape, a rectangular shape, a waist shape, etc.

[0067] In some embodiments, in order to improve the connection stability of the pin member 13 and the pole post 12, the pole post 12 is inserted into the pole post mounting hole 13321, and part of the pole post 12 is located on the side of the pole post mounting hole 13321 facing the tab connecting segment 131 (such as Figure 9 The part of the pole post 12 that penetrates out of the pole post mounting hole 13321 can be located in the first avoiding slot 1333, which greatly reduces the risk of interference between the pole post 12 and the core package 20.

[0068] Referring to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the adapter segment 132 has a first surface 1321 facing away from the first segment 1331, and the second segment 1332 has a second surface 13322 facing away from the first avoiding slot 1333, and the second surface 13322 is flush with the first surface 1321, in other words, the second surface 13322 is coplanar with the first surface 1321.

[0069] In this way, the top interface consistency of the pin member 13 is improved, which is beneficial to improve the contact area between the top of the pin member 13 and other components (such as the upper plastic), and improve the assembly stability. Moreover, the second segment 1332 does not occupy additional space in the height direction, and the height dimension of the pin member 13 is smaller, which is beneficial to improve the volume energy density of the battery 100.

[0070] Referring to Figure 3 and in combination with referring to Figure 10In some embodiments, the tab connecting section 131 comprises a first flat section 1311, a second flat section 1312 and a connecting section 1313 connected in sequence, the first flat section 1311 is bently connected with the adapter section 132, the connecting section 1313 is connected to one end of the first flat section 1311 away from the adapter section 132, and the second flat section 1312 is connected to one end of the connecting section 1313 away from the first flat section 1311.

[0071] In the present embodiment, the second avoiding groove 1314 can avoid the tab 22 of the jelly-roll 20, and reduce the extrusion of the tab connecting section 131 on the tab 22.

[0072] Referring to FIG. 1, the tab connecting section 131 is arranged on the tab 22 of the jelly-roll 20. Figure 10 In the case that the jelly-roll 20 is a wound electrode assembly and the tab 22 has a bending area 222, the second avoiding groove 1314 can particularly avoid the bending area 222 of the tab 22, and reduce the risk of cracking of the bending area 222 of the tab 22.

[0073] The pin member 13 includes a tab connecting section 131, a post connecting section 133 and an adapter section 132 which are integrally formed.
