[0047] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3This is an exploded structural diagram of a battery cell 120 provided in some embodiments of the present invention. The battery cell 120 refers to the smallest unit constituting the battery device 100. For example... Figure 3 The battery cell 120 includes an end cap 121, a housing 122, a cell assembly 123, and other functional components.
[0048] End cap 121 refers to a component that covers the opening of housing 122 to isolate the internal environment of battery cell 120 from the external environment. The shape of end cap 121 can be adapted to the shape of housing 122 to fit it. Optionally, end cap 121 can be made of a material with certain hardness and strength, such as aluminum alloy, so that end cap 121 is less prone to deformation under pressure and impact, giving battery cell 120 higher structural strength and improved safety performance. Functional components such as electrode terminals 121a can be provided on end cap 121. Electrode terminals 121a can be used for electrical connection with cell assembly 123 for outputting or inputting electrical energy from battery cell 120. In some embodiments, end cap 121 can also be provided with a pressure relief mechanism for releasing internal pressure when the internal pressure or temperature of battery cell 120 reaches a threshold. The end cap 121 can be made of various materials, such as copper, iron, aluminum, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, plastic, etc., and this embodiment of the present invention does not impose any special limitations on this. In some embodiments, an insulating member can also be provided on the inner side of the end cap 121. The insulating member can be used to isolate the electrical connection components inside the housing 122 from the end cap 121 to reduce the risk of short circuit. For example, the insulating member can be plastic, rubber, etc.
[0049] The housing 122 is a component used to cooperate with the end cap 121 to form the internal environment of the battery cell 120, wherein the formed internal environment can accommodate the cell assembly 123, electrolyte, and other components. The housing 122 and the end cap 121 can be independent components.

Alternatively, the end cap 121 and the housing 122 can be integrated. Specifically, the end cap 121 and the housing 122 can form a common connecting surface before other components are inserted into the housing. When it is necessary to encapsulate the interior of the housing 122, the end cap 121 closes the housing 122. The housing 122 can have various shapes and sizes, such as cuboid, cylindrical, hexagonal prism, etc. Specifically, the shape of the housing 122 can be determined according to the specific shape and size of the cell assembly 123. The shell 122 can be made of various materials, such as copper, iron, aluminum, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, plastic, etc. This embodiment of the utility model does not impose any special restrictions on this.

[0051] The electrode sheet mainly includes a thin sheet-shaped current collector and an active material coated on the current collector. The positive electrode sheet (cathode electrode sheet) and the negative electrode sheet (anode electrode sheet) have portions with active materials that constitute a main body of the cell assembly, and portions without active materials that each constitute a tab 123a. The positive electrode tab and the negative electrode tab can be located together at one end of the main body or at opposite ends of the main body. During charging and discharging of the battery device 100, the positive active material and the negative active material react with the electrolyte, and the tabs 123a connect the electrode terminals to form a current loop.
[0052] During use of the battery device 100, there is a risk of collision, scratching, and impact by objects in the external environment. If the strength of the case 110 of the battery device 100 is not sufficient and damage occurs, the battery cell 120 or the circuit within the battery device 100 is easily damaged, which can lead to unexpected risks. In particular, when the battery device is used for a vehicle, the battery device 100 is installed at the bottom of the vehicle, and debris on the road or protrusions on the ground can easily impact the battery device 100. Such damage is global and the location is not confirmed. To detect the strength of the battery device, the battery device design requires that the strength of the battery device be detected by a test in which a steel ball impacts the bottom of the case (referred to as a bottom ball test), i.e., a 30 mm diameter steel ball with 150 J energy is used to impact the battery device, and the battery device 100 is required to have no damage.
[0053] To improve the strength of the battery device 100 to meet the requirements of the steel ball test and improve the safety of the battery device 100, the present embodiment provides a new type of battery device, as shown in Figures 4 to 8 The battery device includes a case 110, a battery cell 120 disposed within the case 110, and a temperature adjusting portion 130 disposed between the battery cell 120 and the case bottom 10 of the case 110, and the case bottom 10 of the case 110 includes a plurality of strip-shaped recessed portions 1 and a support portion 2.

[0055] The support portion 2 is formed between the two adjacent strip-shaped recessed portions 1, and the support portion includes a first wall layer 21 and a second wall layer 22 arranged along the thickness direction of the case bottom 10 and connected to the first wall layer 21, and the first wall layer 21 and the second wall layer 22 are at least partially arranged at intervals to form a buffer cavity 23.
[0056] Battery cell 120 refers to the smallest unit that constitutes battery device 100. As shown in FIG. 1, battery cell 120 includes end cover 121, shell 122, cell assembly 123, and other functional components. Figure 3 Battery cell 120 includes end cover 121, shell 122, cell assembly 123, and other functional components.
[0057] Strip-shaped recess 1 refers to the area of bottom 10 that is lower than support portion 2, and is used to set a heat exchange member for adjusting the temperature of battery cell 120. Support portion 2 is the part of bottom 10 that supports battery cell 120, and support portion 2 supports battery cell 120 in tank 110 together with the heat exchange member in strip-shaped recess 1.
[0058] In the technical solution of the present embodiment, tank 110 includes strip-shaped recess 1 and support portion 2, support portion 2 is a double-layer structure composed of first wall layer 21 and second wall layer 22, and has buffer cavity 23 between the two layers to buffer external impact or shock, and also improves the performance of resisting steel ball impact and ensures the integrity of the battery device when it is impacted. The heat exchange member is arranged at the position of strip-shaped recess 1 of bottom 10, which can effectively alleviate external impact and shock to protect battery cell 120 from being damaged. Therefore, battery device 100 of the present embodiment can effectively improve the impact resistance and safety of the battery device.
[0059] Further, temperature adjustment portion 130 for adjusting the temperature of battery cell 120 is arranged inside tank 110, which reduces the path of heat conduction and is conducive to improving the heat exchange efficiency with battery cell 120 and reducing the path of heat conduction.
[0060] Further, temperature adjustment portion 130 is arranged in strip-shaped recess 1, which uses temperature adjustment portion 130 to adjust the temperature (e.g., cooling) of battery cell 120 while protecting battery cell 120 from being damaged, which is conducive to reducing the overall height of the battery device and reducing the volume and improving the energy density of battery device 100, compared with separately arranging a heat exchange plate for circulating heat exchange medium.
[0061] In some embodiments, the heat exchange member includes a heat exchange pipe for circulating medium for cooling the battery cell, and the medium can be water.
[0062] In other embodiments, the heat exchange member includes a heat exchange plate. In some embodiments, the heat exchange plate is provided with a flow path for circulating medium for cooling the battery cell, and the medium can be water. The flow path for circulating medium for cooling the battery cell extends in a direction parallel to strip-shaped recess 1.
[0063] In some embodiments, the first wall layer 21 is connected with the bottom wall of the strip-shaped recess 1 to form a plate structure, or the first wall layer 21 is integrally formed with the bottom wall of the strip-shaped recess 1, and the second wall layer 22 includes a strip-shaped component parallel to the strip-shaped recess 1, and the cross section of the strip-shaped component is a curved structure arched relative to the plate structure to form the buffer cavity 23 with the first wall layer 21.
[0064] The plate structure refers to a structure with a thickness (or height) much smaller than a length and a width, and the plate structure can be a flat surface or a slightly concave-convex surface.
[0065] The strip-shaped component refers to a structure with a length much greater than a height and a width, and the strip-shaped component can be a solid core structure or a hollow core structure. In this application, the strip-shaped component is a hollow core structure, which surrounds the buffer cavity 23 with the plate structure. The cross section of the strip-shaped component can be circular, rectangular, or the like.
[0066] The first wall layer 21 and the bottom wall of the strip-shaped recess 1 are an integral plate structure (integrally formed structure), and the second wall layer 22 is arranged on the inner side of the plate structure to form the buffer cavity 23, thereby reducing the risk of corrosion and prolonging the service life of the battery device 100.
[0067] Further, the first wall layer 21 is connected with the bottom wall of the strip-shaped recess 1 to form a plate structure, or the first wall layer 21 is integrally formed with the bottom wall of the strip-shaped recess 1, which has the advantages of high structural strength and good sealing performance. Further, the first wall layer 21 is integrally formed with the bottom wall of the strip-shaped recess 1, which is also conducive to reducing the number of parts of the battery device and simplifying the assembly process.
[0068] In some technical solutions, a buffer cavity is formed between the two integral plates. Compared with the above-mentioned solution, the second wall layer forming the buffer cavity is a plurality of strip-shaped components, and a heat exchange element is arranged between adjacent two strip-shaped components. Therefore, the advantages of anti-collision and reducing the volume can be achieved on the premise of saving materials and space.
[0069] Further, compared with the scheme of mounting the bottom guard plate on the outer side of the box bottom 10 through a threaded connecting piece, the scheme of the present embodiment reduces the complexity of the assembly process and improves the production efficiency.
[0070] In some embodiments, the second wall layer 22 includes a wall body 221 arranged in parallel with and spaced apart from the first wall layer 21, and a connecting portion 222 arranged at the end of the wall body 221 along the width direction of the strip-shaped component, the connecting portion 222 is connected with the plate structure, and the strip-shaped recess 1 is formed between adjacent two wall bodies 221.
[0071] The first wall layer 21 and the wall body 221 are arranged in parallel, which is conducive to increasing the area of the buffer cavity formed by the two, increasing the protection and buffering area of the bottom of the battery box.
[0072] The second wall layer 22 is parallel to the first wall layer 21, and the top of the second wall layer 22 forms a support plane for supporting the battery monomer 120. The support planes of the plurality of second wall layers 22 are flush, which ensures the firmness of the battery cell bonding and avoids the problem of poor bonding caused by inconsistent height.
[0073] In some embodiments, the second wall layer 22 further includes a transition portion 223 connected by the end of the wall body 221 and extending to the connecting portion 222. The end of the transition portion 223 away from the wall body 221 is connected to the connecting portion 222. The transition portion 223 extends from the wall body to the plate structure, and the inclination of the transition portion relative to the thickness of the box bottom is also conducive to increasing the area of the cross section of the buffer cavity parallel to the bottom of the box and the area of the support surface of the top of the support portion 2.
[0074] The wall body 221, the connecting portion 222 and the transition portion 223 form an overall U-shaped structure, and the connecting portion 222 at both ends of the width direction of the wall body 221 is respectively welded to the above-mentioned plate structure to form a welding position 26.
[0075] The second wall layer 22 or the plate structure is provided with a welding positioning portion 24 for positioning the strip-shaped component forming the second wall layer 22 at a predetermined welding position.
[0076] In some embodiments, the second wall layer 22 is provided with an electrophoretic liquid via hole 25 for the flow of electrophoretic liquid, which communicates with the buffer cavity 23. The electrophoretic liquid can flow into or out of the inside of the buffer cavity 23 through the electrophoretic liquid via hole 25, so as to perform electrophoresis on the inner wall surface of the buffer cavity 23, and form an electrophoretic protective layer on the surface of the first wall layer 21 towards the second wall layer 22 and the surface of the second wall layer 22 towards the first wall layer 21, thereby improving the corrosion resistance of the bottom plate assembly.
[0077] The two ends in the length direction and / or the two ends in the width direction of the strip-shaped component forming the second wall layer 22 are respectively provided with an electrophoretic liquid via hole 25. The electrophoretic liquid can flow into or out of the inside of the buffer cavity 23 through the electrophoretic liquid via hole 25, so as to perform electrophoresis on the inner wall surface of the buffer cavity 23, and form an electrophoretic protective layer on the surface of the first wall layer 21 towards the second wall layer 22 and the surface of the second wall layer 22 towards the first wall layer 21, thereby improving the corrosion resistance of the bottom plate assembly. Further, the electrophoretic liquid via hole 25 is conducive to ensuring the smoothness of the electrophoretic liquid in and out during the electrophoresis. This design avoids the accumulation of electrophoretic liquid inside the buffer cavity, and improves the electrophoresis effect.
[0078] In some embodiments, at least two strip-shaped components used to form the second wall layer 22 described above have identical structures. The strip-shaped components are designed as universal parts, reducing mold costs and improving production efficiency.
[0079] The temperature regulating unit 130 includes a strip segment 131 extending along the strip-shaped recess 1, and the ends of two adjacent strips are connected by a bending segment 132 to form a serpentine heat exchanger. In some embodiments, the top surface of the heat exchanger is flush with the top surface of the support 2, which ensures the firmness of the battery cell bonding and avoids bonding problems caused by inconsistent heights.
[0080] In this embodiment, the housing 110 further includes a sidewall 20 connected to the plate-like structure, and the plate-like structure and the sidewall 20 form a basin-like structure. This basin-like structure is integrally formed; in some embodiments, it is integrally stamped. The overall basin-like structure helps ensure the sealing of the battery device, preventing external debris or liquids from entering the battery device 100 and affecting its performance.
[0081] In some embodiments, the outer side of the basin-shaped structure is further provided with a mounting structure 140 for fixing the battery device to the electrical equipment.
[0082] The strip-shaped components used to form the second wall layer 22 are located inside the basin-shaped structure. This avoids crevice corrosion and extends the service life of the battery device.
[0083] In this embodiment, the strip-shaped component (reinforcing plate) used to form the second wall layer has good impact resistance and corrosion resistance. The serpentine heat exchanger is made of a high thermal conductivity material, which improves heat exchange efficiency. A buffer cavity 23 is formed between the second wall layer 22 and the basin-shaped structure, which has a bottom ball resistance function and improves the stability of the overall structure.
[0084] The basin-shaped structure is made of high-strength aluminum alloy, offering excellent impact resistance and corrosion resistance. The stamped basin is spot-welded to the reinforcing plate, ensuring structural stability. The serpentine tube is bonded to the bottom of the basin with structural adhesive, improving heat exchange efficiency.
[0085] In summary, the technical solution of this embodiment has the following technical effects:
[0086] 1. A "U"-shaped bracket (second wall layer 22) is designed in the middle area of each serpentine pipe (heat exchanger) as a reinforcing plate. The bracket is spot-welded to the basin-shaped structure. This design not only improves the stability of the structure but also ensures the strong bonding of the battery cells.
[0087] 2. The upper, lower, and left / right sides of the support are designed with 25mm electrophoresis solution passages to ensure smooth flow of the electrophoresis solution during electrophoresis. This design prevents the electrophoresis solution from accumulating inside the support, thus improving the electrophoresis effect.
[0088] 3. The upper surface of the bracket is flush with the upper surface of the serpentine pipe (heat exchange component), ensuring the firmness of the battery cell (battery monomer) bonding and avoiding the bonding problem caused by inconsistent height.
[0089] 4. The bracket with similar shape is designed as a universal component, reducing the mold cost and improving the production efficiency.
[0090] 5. The bracket is placed inside the basin body, avoiding the gap corrosion problem and prolonging the service life of the battery device.
[0091] 6. The serpentine pipe and the bracket strengthen the bottom strength of the basin structure, improve the bottom profile, and improve the stability of the overall structure.

[0093] The difference between this embodiment and the above-mentioned embodiments is that the first wall layer 21 is connected with the bottom wall of the strip-shaped recess 1 to form a high-low undulating plate structure, the low part of the plate structure forms the bottom wall of the strip-shaped recess 1, the high part of the plate structure forms the first wall layer 21 of the support part 2, and the second wall layer 22 is attached to the bottom surface of the plate structure. The first wall layer 21 is connected with the bottom wall of the strip-shaped recess 1 to form a high-low undulating plate structure, which is beneficial to improve the torsional resistance to enhance the strength. The second wall layer is attached to the bottom surface of the plate structure, which forms a buffer cavity to resist impact and is beneficial to improve the strength of the structure.
[0094] In the technical scheme of this embodiment, the box body 110 includes a strip-shaped recess 1 and a support part 2 located between adjacent two strip-shaped recesses 1, the support part 2 is a double-layer structure composed of a first wall layer 21 and a second wall layer 22, and a buffer cavity 23 is provided between the two layers to buffer external collision or impact, thereby improving the performance of resisting steel ball impact and ensuring the integrity of the battery device when it is impacted. The heat exchange component is arranged at the position of the strip-shaped recess 1 of the box bottom 10, which can effectively alleviate the collision and impact from the outside to protect the battery monomer 120 from being damaged. Therefore, the battery device 100 of this embodiment can effectively improve the impact resistance and safety of the battery device.
[0095] Further, the temperature adjusting part 130 for adjusting the temperature of the battery monomer 120 is arranged inside the box body 110, which reduces the heat conduction path and is beneficial to improve the heat exchange efficiency with the battery monomer 120 and reduce the heat conduction path.
[0096] Further, the temperature adjusting part 130 is arranged in the strip-shaped recessed part 1, and the temperature adjusting part 130 is used to adjust the temperature (for example, the temperature is reduced) of the battery monomer 120 while protecting the battery monomer 120 from being damaged, which is advantageous to reduce the overall height of the battery device, reduce the volume of the battery device 100, and improve the energy density of the battery device.
[0097] In some embodiments, the first wall layer 21 is connected with the bottom wall of the strip-shaped recessed part 1 to form a plate-shaped structure, and the second wall layer 22 includes a strip-shaped part parallel to the strip-shaped recessed part 1, and the cross section of the strip-shaped part is a curved structure arched relative to the plate-shaped structure to form the buffer cavity 23 with the first wall layer 21.
[0098] In some embodiments, the plurality of second wall layers 22 are connected together to form a plate-shaped part, which is advantageous to simplify the installation steps and improve the production efficiency.
[0099] In some embodiments, the box body 110 further includes a side wall 20 connected with the plate-shaped structure, and the plate-shaped structure and the side wall 20 form a basin-shaped structure. The overall basin-shaped structure is advantageous to ensure the sealing property of the battery device and prevent foreign matters or liquid from entering the inside of the battery device 100 to affect the performance of the battery device.
[0100] In some embodiments, the second wall layer 22 is provided with an electrophoretic liquid via hole 25 for flowing the electrophoretic liquid and communicating with the buffer cavity 23. The electrophoretic liquid can flow into or out of the inside of the buffer cavity 23 through the electrophoretic liquid via hole 25, so as to perform electrophoresis on the inner wall surface of the buffer cavity 23 and form an electrophoretic protective layer on the surface of the first wall layer 21 facing the second wall layer 22 and the surface of the second wall layer 22 facing the first wall layer 21, thereby improving the corrosion resistance of the bottom plate assembly.
[0101] In some embodiments, the top surface of the heat exchange part is flush with the top surface of the support part 2, which ensures the firmness of the bonding of the battery cell and avoids the problem of poor bonding caused by inconsistent height.
[0102] In summary, the technical scheme of the embodiment has the following technical effects:
[0103] 1. The external second wall layer 22 forms a reinforcing bracket, and the plurality of second wall layers 22 form a plate-shaped part. In order to ensure good corrosion prevention effect, the opening design is minimized. From the bottom, only the electrophoretic liquid via hole (diameter 8 mm, etc.) is provided, which avoids the entry of mud and water vapor in the external environment into the gap of the sheet metal lap joint and improves the corrosion prevention performance.
[0104] 2. The external reinforcing plate bracket and the basin-shaped structure form the buffer cavity 23 to ensure that no battery cell or other parts are damaged during the bottom ball test. This design improves the safety of the overall structure and ensures the integrity of the battery device when subjected to the impact of the bottom ball.
