[0015] The first skeleton is preferably provided with a bending section at the portion inside the support body, so that the contact area between the first skeleton and the support body is increased, improving the firmness and stability of the connection between the two.

[0016] The first skeleton is preferably bent towards the other end of the connecting end after extending a distance away from the other end, and then extends towards the other end of the connecting end and is inserted into the support body.

[0039] Embodiment one

[0040] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 A flexible conductive clamp, comprising a first clamp body 1, a second clamp body 2, the first clamp body 1 and the second clamp body 2 are actually independent parts, and the cooperation of the two makes the first clamp body 1 and the second clamp body 2 form a battery piece clamping area. Specifically:

[0041] As shown in Figures 3-6 : The first clamp body 1 comprises a first skeleton 10, a support body 11 and a conductive body 12. Specifically:

[0042] One end of the first skeleton 10 forms a connecting end 100, a connecting hole 1000 is formed on the connecting end 100, and the other end of the first skeleton 10 penetrates the support body 11 and penetrates out of the support body 11.

[0043] In this embodiment: with reference to Figure 6, one end of the first skeleton 10 extends a distance away from the other end (right end) and then bends towards the other end (left end) and the connecting end 100 (upper end) The direction of extension is also the direction of approaching the second clamp body 2, and the bending can make the first skeleton 10 have a certain elasticity, so that when cooperating with the second clamp body 2, a certain elastic clamping force of the first clamp body 1 towards the second clamp body 2 can be provided.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment of the present application: the part of the first skeleton 10 inside the support body 11 has a bending section 101, which increases the contact area of the first skeleton 10 and the support body 11, improves the firmness and stability of the connection between the two.

[0045] The first skeleton 10 is made of conductive material, such as metal material.

[0046] The support body 11 is provided with a hole 110 for arranging the conductive body 12.

[0047] In the embodiment, referring to Fig. 6, the cross section of the support body 11 gradually decreases from one end (lower end) to the other end (upper end), such as the shape of a triangular body, a pyramidal body, etc. The other end of the first skeleton 10 penetrates into the end (lower end) of the support body 11 with larger cross section, so that the contact area of the support body 11 and the first skeleton 10 is increased, and the firmness and stability of the connection between the two is improved.

[0048] The support body 11 is made of insulating flexible material, preferably insulating corrosion-resistant flexible material, such as soft glue.

[0049] The conductive body 12 is arranged in the support body 11, specifically in the hole 110 of the support body 11, or directly formed in the hole 110 of the support body 11 during processing. One end of the conductive body 12 is in contact with the first skeleton 10, specifically, one end of the conductive body 12 penetrates through the first skeleton 10 in the support body 11, and the conductive body 12 is in contact with the part penetrating through the first skeleton 10, so as to realize the conduction between the two. The other end of the conductive body 12 is exposed from the support body 11 to form a conductive contact end. The conductive contact end of the conductive body 12 only needs a point, which can realize conduction.

[0050] The conductive body 12 is made of flexible conductive material, preferably flexible metal wire, such as gold wire, silver wire, copper wire, etc., or metal polymer.

[0051] The second clamp body 2 comprises a second skeleton 20, one end of the second skeleton 20 forms a connecting end 200, and the other end of the second skeleton 20 forms a conductive contact end. The second skeleton 20 is a sheet material, and does not involve other special structures.

[0052] The second skeleton 20 is made of conductive material, such as metal material.

[0053] During clamping, the conductive clamp presses the battery sheet against the second clamp body 2 through the conductive body 12 of the first clamp body 1. Since the conductive body 12 is made of flexible conductive material, the contact part of the conductive body 12 can be compressed and deformed, so that the battery sheet is finally pressed against the support body 11. Since the support body 11 is made of flexible material, the contact between the battery sheet and the hard conductive metal is avoided, so as to avoid the pyramid damage in the electroplating process of the battery sheet. That is, in the embodiment, the support body 11 actually clamps the battery sheet, and the conductive body 11 realizes the function of conduction during clamping.

Two pairs of mounting portions 300 are shown as an example, two battery piece setting areas 301 are formed, and four conductive clamps 31 are mounted on one mounting portion 300.

[0057] The first clamp body 1 of the flexible conductive clamp is connected to one side of the mounting portion 300, and the second clamp body 2 is connected to the other side of the mounting portion 300.
