The temperature detecting piece is arranged in the containing cavity. The thermal conductivity of the insert is higher than that of the injection molded piece. The shell assembly is arranged to be at least injection molded to wrap outside the insert to jointly form the containing cavity. This is favorable to improve the sealing property of the shell assembly, reduce the risk of water vapor intrusion, improve the long-term reliability of the temperature detecting piece working in the containing cavity, and reduce the risk of heat dissipation in the containing cavity. The thermal conductivity of the insert is higher than that of the injection molded piece. This is favorable to directly transfer the heat of the battery monomer to the temperature detecting piece through the insert, alleviate the risk of the temperature on the current collecting component being transferred to the injection molded piece, reduce the influence of the temperature on the current collecting component on the temperature detecting piece, improve the precision and accuracy of the temperature detecting piece detecting the temperature of the battery monomer, and thus the temperature sampling assembly can more effectively obtain the use condition of the battery monomer inside the battery device, and improve the use stability and reliability of the battery device.

[0103] It should be noted that the technical solution described in the embodiments of the present application is not only limited to the above described battery device and electric device, but also applicable to all battery devices comprising a box and electric devices using the battery device. However, for the sake of simplicity, the following embodiments are described by taking an electric vehicle as an example.

For example, the battery device 100 can be provided at the bottom or the front or the rear of the vehicle 1000. The battery device 100 can be used to supply power to the vehicle 1000, for example, the battery device 100 can be used as the operating power source of the vehicle 1000, for example, used for the circuit system of the vehicle 1000, for example, used for the power demand of the vehicle 1000 during starting, navigation and operation. In another embodiment of the present application, the battery device 100 can not only be used as the operating power source of the vehicle 1000, but also be used as the driving power source of the vehicle 1000, replacing or partially replacing fuel or natural gas to provide driving power for the vehicle 1000.
[0105] The embodiments of the present application provide a battery device, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the battery device 100 comprises a box body, a battery cell 10, a current collecting component 3 (as shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13 ) and a temperature sampling assembly 4.
[0106] In order to meet different power requirements, the battery device 100 can comprise a plurality of battery cells 10, and the battery cell 10 refers to the smallest unit constituting the battery module or the battery device 100. The plurality of battery cells 10 can be connected in series, in parallel or in a mixed manner, and the mixed manner refers to that there are both series connection and parallel connection among the plurality of battery cells. The plurality of battery cells 10 can be directly connected in series, in parallel or in a mixed manner, and then the whole plurality of battery cells 10 is accommodated in the box body; of course, the battery device 100 can also be in the form that the plurality of battery cells 10 are connected in series, in parallel or in a mixed manner to form a battery module, and then the plurality of battery modules are connected in series, in parallel or in a mixed manner to form a whole, and are accommodated in the box body. The battery device 100 can also comprise other structures, for example, the battery device 100 can also comprise the current collecting component 3, and the current collecting component 3 is used to realize the electrical connection among the plurality of battery cells 10. Each battery cell 10 can be a secondary battery or a primary battery; it can also be a lithium-sulfur battery, a sodium-ion battery or a magnesium-ion battery, but is not limited thereto. The battery cell 10 can be in the shape of a cylinder, a flat body, a cuboid or other shapes.
[0107] The box body can be a simple cuboid or a cylinder or a sphere, or a complex cuboid structure composed of a simple cuboid or a cylinder or a sphere. The material of the box body can be an alloy material such as aluminum alloy or iron alloy, or a high polymer material such as polycarbonate or polyisocyanurate foam plastic, or a composite material such as glass fiber and epoxy resin.
[0108] The box is used to accommodate the battery monomer assembly or the battery module. The box can be of various structures. In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 , the box can include an upper cover 214 and a carrier 211, the upper cover 214 and the carrier 211 are covered with each other, and the upper cover 214 and the carrier 211 jointly define a mounting space for accommodating the battery monomer 10. The carrier 211 can be a hollow structure with one end open, and the upper cover 214 is a plate-shaped structure, which covers the open side of the carrier 211 to form a box with a mounting space; the upper cover 214 and the carrier 211 can also be a hollow structure with one side open, and the open side of the upper cover 214 covers the open side of the carrier 211 to form a box with a mounting space. Of course, the upper cover 214 and the carrier 211 can be of various shapes, such as a cylinder, a cuboid, etc.
[0109] In order to improve the sealing performance of the upper cover 214 and the carrier 211 after being connected, a sealing member such as sealing glue, a sealing ring, etc. can be arranged between the upper cover 214 and the carrier 211.
[0110] Suppose that the upper cover 214 covers the top of the carrier 211, the upper cover 214 can also be called an upper box cover, and the carrier 211 can also be called a lower box cover.
[0111] In order to ensure the safety of the battery monomer, in combination with Figure 3 , a temperature sampling assembly 4 is generally arranged in the battery device, which can collect and monitor the temperature of the battery monomer 10 in the use process, so as to obtain the use condition of the battery. The temperature sampling assembly generally includes a temperature sensor and a mounting bracket for assembling the temperature sensor. The mounting bracket is usually mounted on the busbar component of the battery, and the mounting bracket is in contact with the battery monomer, so that the temperature sensor accommodated in the mounting bracket can detect the temperature of the battery monomer. However, the temperature of the busbar component in the use process of the battery will also be transmitted to the temperature sensor through the mounting bracket, resulting in inaccurate detection result of the temperature sensor on the temperature of the battery monomer, so that the use condition of the battery monomer inside the battery cannot be effectively obtained, which is not conducive to improving the use stability and reliability of the battery.
[0112] As shown in Figures 3-7 , the temperature sampling assembly 4 of the embodiment of the application includes a shell assembly 41 and a temperature detection member 42. The temperature detection member 42 is configured to detect the temperature of the battery monomer 10, and the shell assembly 41 is wrapped outside the temperature detection member 42. It should be noted that wrapping means that the shell assembly 41 is arranged outside the temperature detection member 42, so that the temperature detection member 42 is isolated from the external water vapor, and the shell assembly 41 can protect the temperature detection member 42 to improve the reliability of the temperature detection member 42 in operation.
[0113] As shown in Figures 8-11 The shell assembly 41 comprises an insert 411 and an injection molding part 412; the injection molding part 412 at least partially injection-molds the outside of the insert 411 to form a containing cavity 400 together with the insert 411; as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 The temperature detection part 42 is arranged in the containing cavity 400, and the thermal conductivity of the insert 411 is higher than that of the injection molding part 412.
[0114] It should be noted that the insert 411 and the injection molding part 412 in the embodiments of the present application are integrally formed, specifically, the shell assembly in the embodiments of the present application is formed by using an injection molding process, that is, the insert 411 is first embedded in the injection molding material, and part of the independent insert 411 is surrounded by the injection molding material during the injection molding process, thereby forming an integrated shell assembly 41.
[0115] It should be noted that the insert 411 in the embodiments of the present application can be metal or hard plastic.
[0116] It should be noted that the injection molding part covers part of the surface of the insert 411, so that the injection molding part 412 after covering and forming and the remaining insert 411 not covered together form a containing cavity 400 for containing the temperature detection part 42. The thermal conductivity of the insert 411 is higher than that of the injection molding part 412, that is, the heat generated by the battery monomer 10 is conducted from the insert 411 with high thermal conductivity to the temperature detection part 42 as much as possible, and the heat is conducted from the injection molding part 412 with lower thermal conductivity to the temperature detection part 42 as little as possible, thereby reducing the risk of heat conduction from other components to the temperature detection part 42, reducing the interference of the temperature detection part on the temperature detection of the battery monomer, thereby facilitating to improve the temperature detection sensitivity of the temperature detection part on the temperature detection of the battery monomer. And the thermal conductivity of the injection molding part is lower than that of the insert, which is conducive to the heat of the battery monomer being directly transmitted to the temperature detection part through the insert, and also conducive to reducing the risk of temperature on the busbar part being transmitted to the injection molding part, thereby reducing the influence of the temperature on the busbar part on the temperature detection part, and facilitating to improve the precision and accuracy of the temperature detection part in detecting the temperature of the battery monomer, thereby enabling the temperature sampling assembly to more effectively obtain the use of the battery monomer inside the battery, to improve the use stability and reliability of the battery.
[0117] And the shell assembly in the embodiments of the present application adopts the form of the injection molding part covering part of the insert, and the sealing performance of this structure is higher, which is conducive to improving the reliability of the temperature detection part in working, and reducing the risk of device failure caused by water vapor leakage. And it is conducive to improving the sealing performance of the containing cavity, so as to play a role in heat preservation and heat insulation, and reduce the risk of temperature escaping from the containing cavity.
[0118] The battery disclosed in this application can be used, but is not limited to, in electrical devices such as vehicles, ships, or aircraft. A power system comprising such an electrical device can be used, incorporating the battery disclosed in this application. This helps to alleviate the problem of inaccurate temperature detection results of individual battery cells by the temperature sampling component, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the battery.
[0119] This application provides a battery device including a housing, battery cells, a current collector, and a temperature sampling component. The housing has an installation space, and the battery cells are disposed within the installation space. The current collector is electrically connected to multiple battery cells. The temperature sampling component includes a housing assembly and a temperature detection element, which is configured to detect the temperature of the battery cells. The housing assembly covers the outside of the temperature sampling component and includes an insert and an injection-molded part. The injection-molded part at least covers the outside of the insert to form a receiving cavity together with the insert. The temperature detection element is disposed within the receiving cavity. The thermal conductivity of the insert is higher than that of the injection-molded part. This embodiment of the application, by configuring the housing assembly as an injection-molded part that at least injection-molded over the outside of the insert to jointly form a receiving cavity, is beneficial to improving the sealing performance of the housing assembly, reducing the risk of moisture intrusion, thereby improving the long-term reliability of the temperature sensing element working within the receiving cavity, and also helps to achieve a heat preservation effect, reducing the risk of heat dissipation within the receiving cavity; moreover, the thermal conductivity of the insert is higher than that of the injection-molded part, which facilitates the direct transfer of heat from the battery cell to the temperature sensing element through the insert, and also helps to mitigate the risk of temperature transfer from the busbar component to the injection-molded part, thereby reducing the impact of the temperature on the busbar component on the temperature sensing element, which helps to improve the accuracy and precision of the temperature sensing element in detecting the temperature of the battery cell, and thus enables the temperature sampling component to more effectively obtain the usage status of the battery cells inside the battery device, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the battery device.
[0120] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, insert 411 is a metal part, and injection molded part 412 is a non-metal part. That is to say, in the processing of the housing assembly, the metal part is first formed according to the set structure, and then the metal insert 411 is placed into the injection mold. The injection molding process is used to cover at least part of the outer surface of the insert with injection molding material, so that the insert and the injection molded part together form a receiving cavity.
[0121] It should be noted that the injection-molded parts in this embodiment can be made of plastic particles with a thermal conductivity of less than 0.1. The inserts are made of metal to give them high thermal conductivity. The metal and non-metal components are combined using an insert injection molding structure, which helps improve the structural strength of the housing assembly and reduces heat transfer from the metal to the non-thermally conductive surfaces. The metal parts also act as protection and support for the thermally conductive surfaces, reducing the impact and transmission of external stress from these surfaces. In this embodiment, the metal parts are positioned on the thermally conductive surface of the temperature sampling component. By making the thermally conductive surface metal, it is beneficial to provide a faster temperature conduction speed for the temperature sensing element.
[0122] This application embodiment sets the insert as a metal part and the injection molded part as a non-metal part, and adopts the insert injection molding process. This can achieve a reliable connection between the metal and non-metal structures, and also meet the requirement that the thermal conductivity of the insert 411 is higher than that of the injection molded part. This can improve the reliability of the temperature detection component while reducing the processing difficulty of the housing assembly.
[0123] In some embodiments, such as Figures 8-11 As shown, the insert 411 includes a first structural member 4111 and a second structural member 4112. The first structural member 4111 and the second structural member 4112 are integrally formed. The first structural member 4111 has a planar structure. It should be noted that the planar structure means that the first structural member 4111 is generally planar, and the opposite sides of the first structural member 4111 are generally planar. The second structural member 4112 is connected to the edge of the first structural member 4111, and the extension direction of the second structural member 4112 is set at an angle to the extension direction of the first structural member 4111. The injection molded part 412 covers the outside of the second structural member 4112, but does not cover the outside of the first structural member 4111, so that the injection molded part 412 and the first structural member 4111 together form a receiving cavity 400, and a reliable connection relationship is formed between the injection molded part 412 and the second structural member 4112.
[0124] In this embodiment, the insert is configured as two parts: a first structural component and a second structural component. The second structural component is covered by an injection molded part, which achieves a reliable connection between the injection molded part and the insert. The injection molded part and the first structural component form a cavity that can be used to accommodate the temperature detection component. This allows the heat from the battery cell to be transferred to the temperature detection component through the first structural component while reducing the heat transfer through the second structural component, thereby improving the reliability of the temperature detection component.
[0125] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 As shown, the insert 411 includes two second structural members 4112, which are connected to the first structural member 4111 in a first direction ( Figure 10The first direction is the width direction of the temperature sampling assembly. That is, the two second structural members 4112 in the embodiment of the application are arranged at intervals in the width direction of the temperature sampling assembly. The embodiment of the application provides two second structural members, and in the process of injection molding, the injection molding part can be over-molded with the two second structural members, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the connection between the injection molding part and the insert and improving the sealing performance of the shell assembly.
[0126] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 The second structural member 4112 includes a first extension part 41121 and a first flange part 41122. The first extension part 41121 is connected to the first structural member 4111 at one end in the second direction (the lower end in the Z direction as shown in Figure 10 The first extension part 41121 extends substantially in the second direction (the Z direction as shown in Figure 10 The other end of the first flange part 41122 is offset in the first direction (the X direction as shown in Figure 10 That is, the extension direction of the first flange part 41122 is inclined relative to the second direction, or it can be understood that the extension direction of the first flange part 41122 has a certain included angle with the second direction. The injection molding part 412 is over-molded on both sides of the first flange part 41122 in the first direction (the X direction as shown in Figure 10 The first flange part 41122 has two opposite sides in the first direction, one side is closer to the accommodation cavity than the other side, and the injection molding part 412 is over-molded on both sides of the first flange part 41122 in the first direction, which means that the injection molding part 412 is over-molded on both sides of the first flange part 41122.
[0127] The embodiment of the application provides a first extension part and a first flange part for the second structural member. One end of the first extension part is connected to the first structural member, one end of the first flange part is connected to the first extension part, and the other end of the first flange part is offset in the first direction away from the accommodation cavity relative to the first extension part. In the process of injection molding, the injection molding part can be over-molded on both sides of the first flange part in the first direction, which is beneficial to increasing the area of the combination of the injection molding part and the first flange part and improving the strength of the combination of the injection molding part and the first flange part, thereby improving the structural strength and sealing performance of the entire shell assembly.
[0128] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 10 The injection molding part 412 is over-molded on both sides of the first extension part 41121 in the first direction (the X direction as shown in Figure 10The first extending part 41121 is away from the side of the accommodating cavity 400, which is beneficial to reduce the difficulty of the process in the injection molding process and improve the processing efficiency of the injection molding part 412 and the embedded part 411.
[0129] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 11 The first extending part 41121 is in a frame structure, and the inner edge of the first extending part 41121 forms a hollow through hole 41120. One end of the first flange part 41122 is connected to the inner edge of the first extending part 41121. In the embodiment of the present application, the second structure part can be directly punched out of the first flange part 41122 on the metal part by stamping forming, and the corresponding area of the first flange part 41122 is directly formed into the through hole 41120.
[0130] The first extending part and the first flange part are processed by stamping forming in the embodiment of the present application, which is beneficial to improve the processing efficiency of the second structure part.
[0131] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 10 The angle θ of the first flange part 41122 relative to the first extending part 41121 is greater than or equal to 30 degrees and less than or equal to 60 degrees. It should be noted that the angle of the first flange part 41122 relative to the first extending part 41121 in the embodiment of the present application represents the included angle between the extension direction of the first flange part 41122 and the extension direction of the first extending part 41121. The included angle θ can be set to 40 degrees, 45 degrees, 50 degrees, 55 degrees, etc.
[0132] The angle of the first flange part relative to the first extending part is set within a certain range in the embodiment of the present application, which can not only ensure that the amount of the injection molding part on both sides of the first flange part is sufficient to achieve the heat insulation effect, but also reduce the risk of stress concentration at the R angle of the connection between the first flange part and the first extending part, and improve the structural strength.
[0133] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 11 The second structure part 4112 further includes a second flange part 41123. One end of the second flange part 41123 is connected to one end of the first extending part 41121 in the third direction (refer to Figure 11 The Y direction), and the third direction is the length direction of the temperature sampling assembly 4. The other end of the second flange part 41123 is offset in the first direction away from the accommodating cavity 400, and the injection molding part 412 covers both sides of the second flange part 41123 in the first direction.
[0134] That is, the extending direction of the second flange portion 41123 is arranged obliquely relative to the third direction, and it can also be understood that the extending direction of the second flange portion 41123 has a certain included angle with the third direction. The injection molding part 412 is wrapped on both sides of the first flange portion 41122 in the first direction. Among them, the second flange portion 41123 has opposite sides in the first direction, one side is closer to the accommodation cavity than the other side, and the injection molding part 412 wrapped on the opposite sides of the second flange portion 41123 in the first direction means that the injection molding part 412 is wrapped on the left and right sides of the second flange portion 41123.
[0135] The second structure is provided with a second flange portion, one end of the second flange portion is connected to the first extending portion, and the other end of the second flange portion is offset relative to the first extending portion in the first direction away from the accommodation cavity. During the injection molding process, the injection molding part can be wrapped on the opposite sides of the second flange portion in the first direction. Compared with the case where the injection molding part is wrapped on one side of the second flange portion, the area of the combination of the injection molding part and the second flange portion is increased, the strength of the combination of the injection molding part and the second flange portion is improved, and thus the structural strength and sealing performance of the entire shell assembly are improved.
[0136] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 11 The angle of the second flange portion 41123 relative to the first extending portion 41121 is greater than or equal to 30 degrees and less than or equal to 60 degrees. It should be noted that the angle of the second flange portion 41123 relative to the first extending portion 41121 in the present application represents the included angle between the extending direction of the second flange portion 41123 and the extending direction of the first extending portion 41121. The angle can be set to 40 degrees, 45 degrees, 50 degrees, 55 degrees, etc.
[0137] The angle of the second flange portion relative to the first extending portion is set within a certain range, which can not only ensure that the amount of injection molding parts on both sides of the second flange portion is sufficient to achieve heat insulation effect, but also reduce the risk of stress concentration at the R angle of the connection between the second flange portion and the first extending portion, and improve the structural strength.
[0138] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 10 The injection molding part 412 includes a top portion 4121 and two end portions 4122. The top portion 4121 is arranged spaced apart from the first structure 4111 in the second direction (Z direction), and the second direction is the thickness direction of the temperature sampling assembly; the two end portions 4122 are connected to the two ends of the top portion 4121 in the first direction (X direction), and each end portion 4122 is injection molded and wrapped on the outer side of one second structure 4112. Figure 10 Figure 10
[0139] In this embodiment, the top 4121, the first structural member 4111, and the two second structural members 4112 together form a receiving cavity 400. By covering the end with the outside of the second structural member, a reliable connection between the injection molded part and the insert is formed.
[0140] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the injection molded part 412 also includes a side portion 4123, which connects the two ends 4122 and the top 4121. The side portion 4123 is disposed at one end of the insert 411 in a third direction, and the injection molded part 412 is open at the other end in the third direction. That is, in this embodiment, the side portion 4123, the two ends 4122, the top 4121, and the first structural member 4111 together form a receiving cavity 400 with one end open. By setting the housing assembly to a structure with one end open, this embodiment facilitates the potting of adhesive and reduces the risk of moisture intrusion.
[0141] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 As shown, end portion 4122 in the first direction ( Figure 10 A groove 401 is provided on the side away from the receiving cavity 400 in the X direction (as shown), and the groove 401 is in the third direction ( Figure 10 The groove 401 is formed through the paper in a direction perpendicular to the paper surface, and the opening of the groove 401 is formed on the side of the end 4122 away from the receiving cavity 400 in the first direction, such as... Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the groove 401 is detachably connected to the busbar component 3.
[0142] In this embodiment, a groove 401 is provided at the end, which is provided through the groove 401 in the third direction. The temperature sampling component 4 can slide relative to the busbar component 3 in the third direction, so as to realize the connection and detachment of the temperature sampling component and the busbar component 3 in the third direction.
[0143] In other embodiments, the groove may be provided on the busbar component, and the connection and detachment are achieved by the temperature sampling component engaging with the groove on the busbar component.
[0144] In some embodiments, such as Figure 13 As shown, the busbar component 3 includes a body part 31. The body part 31 has a mounting groove 310 at one end in a third direction. The mounting groove 310 penetrates the body part 31 in a second direction. The injection molded part 412 can be inserted into the mounting groove 310. The part of the body part 31 that forms the mounting groove 310 is inserted into the groove 401 of the end 4122.
[0145] The embodiments of this application improve the ease of connection between the temperature sampling component and the busbar by using a mounting slot to limit the connection between the main body and the temperature sampling component, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the temperature sampling component. Furthermore, it enables the temperature sampling component to be disassembled and assembled relative to the busbar, thereby improving the maintainability of the temperature sampling component.
[0146] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 , Figure 10 Figure 13 As shown, a first protrusion 4010 is provided in the groove 401, and the first protrusion 4010 extends from the first bottom wall 4011 of the groove 401 along a first direction ( Figure 10 The body portion 31 is provided with a protrusion in the X direction (as shown). When the body portion 31 is inserted into the groove 401, the body portion 31 abuts against the first protrusion 4010, and is spaced apart from the first bottom wall 4011 of the groove 401. That is, when the temperature sampling assembly is connected to the busbar component, the body portion of the busbar component is inserted into the groove 401 of the temperature sampling assembly, such that the body portion 31 protrudes in the first direction (X direction). Figure 10 The body portion 31 abuts against the first protrusion 4010 in the X direction (as shown), so that the body portion 31 is spaced apart from the first bottom wall 4011 in the first direction.
[0147] In this embodiment, by providing a first protrusion in the groove, the main body and the first bottom wall are spaced apart in the first direction, which helps to reduce the contact area between the main body and the first bottom wall and increase the air filling between the main body and the first bottom wall, thereby achieving the effect of heat insulation.
[0148] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, end portion 4122 includes two first sidewalls 41221, the two first sidewalls 41221 in the second direction (refer to...) Figure 8 The two sidewalls 41221 are arranged opposite each other in the Z direction (as shown), and the first sidewall 41221 is the wall surface of the end 4122 near the groove 401; both first sidewalls 41221 are provided along the second direction (refer to the second direction). Figure 8 The second protrusion 41222 protrudes in the Z direction, when the main body 31 is inserted into the groove, the two second protrusions 41222 abut against the two sides of the main body 31 in the second direction.
[0149] In this embodiment, the injection-molded part in the housing assembly is inserted into the busbar component through grooves at both ends, and the busbar component is fixed in the second direction by two second protrusions. The clamping structure is designed on the thickness of the busbar component, and the injection-molded part absorbs the vibration of the busbar component, reducing the risk of the clamping stress being transmitted to the temperature acquisition component.
[0150] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12As shown, the body part 31 is in interference fit with the two second protruding parts 41222.
[0151] It should be noted that the interference fit means that the gap of the two second protruding parts in the second direction is smaller than the thickness of the busbar component, and the difference between the gap of the two second protruding parts in the second direction and the thickness of the busbar component is defined as the interference amount, which can be greater than or equal to 0.1 mm and less than or equal to 0.2 mm in the embodiment of the present application. In some embodiments, the interference amount can be 0.15 mm.
[0152] The embodiment of the present application sets the body part and the two second protruding parts in interference fit, so that the stress generated by the busbar component is more conducive to being concentrated on the injection molding part, and the risk of stress being transmitted to the temperature collection assembly is reduced, thereby reducing the risk of the temperature collection assembly being damaged.
[0153] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 8 As shown, the end part 4122 is provided with a guide surface 41223 at one end in the third direction (refer to Y direction shown in Figure 8 The guide surface 41223 is transitionally provided in a circular arc. That is, the guide surface 41223 is smoothly connected with the first side wall 41221, and the guide surface 41223 is provided in a circular arc structure.
[0154] The embodiment of the present application designs a slope guide at the head of the temperature collection assembly and the busbar assembly, which is conducive to improving the installation accuracy and reducing the risk of the temperature collection assembly and the busbar assembly being damaged in the assembly process, thereby improving the assembly efficiency.
[0155] In some embodiments, the temperature detection part is externally provided with a structure of encapsulating glue. In some embodiments, the temperature sampling part is provided as a single-ended lead temperature sampling part, which can adopt an epoxy NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) and a glass-encapsulated NTC. The epoxy NTC means that the surface of the thermosensitive ceramic is encapsulated by epoxy glue, and the glass-encapsulated NTC means that the surface of the thermosensitive ceramic is encapsulated by glass contact. The epoxy NTC and the glass-encapsulated NTC are both composed of a thermosensitive ceramic with contact encapsulation and a signal transmission lead. The temperature sampling part mainly realizes temperature sampling of the wire harness NTC assembly, and uses the thermosensitive ceramic which exhibits different resistance values at different temperatures to convert the temperature signal into an electric signal. This is conducive to improving the insulation performance of the temperature detection part, increasing the glue encapsulation thickness, and increasing the waterproof path.
[0156] In some embodiments, the temperature detection part is provided with encapsulating glue between the temperature detection part and the shell assembly.
[0157] In some embodiments, the temperature detection member is subjected to a glue sealing process, the sealing glue is an epoxy system sealing glue, the epoxy system sealing glue has a low water absorption rate, and can more effectively avoid the risk of short circuit of the charged body caused by water vapor intrusion compared with UV glue. Moreover, the sealing glue can fix the single-end lead NTC in the shell, realizing the fixation and connection of each component of the wire harness NTC assembly. The sealing glue encapsulates the NTC and the lead wire in the shell in structure, adopts a multiple encapsulation process, realizes the uniformity of the encapsulation thickness of the temperature detection member, and realizes the central position of the temperature detection member in the shell assembly. Thus, the distance between the temperature detection member and the shell assembly can be ensured, and the insulation and protection are further strengthened. The sealing glue wraps the insulation skin of the lead wire of the temperature detection member in the glue, which is beneficial to increase the path of water vapor intrusion and avoid long-term reliability failure.
[0158] In some embodiments, the process is first to cover the single-end lead temperature sampling member, the lead wire core, the temperature sampling member welding position and the local area of the lead wire skin with encapsulation glue, and then to encapsulate them in the shell assembly by pouring encapsulation glue. Finally, a nested NTC sampling structure with a glue outward convex structure is formed.

The box body has an installation space. The battery monomers are arranged in the installation space. The current collecting component is electrically connected to the battery monomers. The temperature sampling assembly comprises a shell assembly and a temperature detection member. The temperature detection member is configured to detect the temperature of the battery monomers. The shell assembly is arranged outside the temperature assembly. The shell assembly comprises an insert and an injection molding member. The injection molding member is at least injection molded outside the insert to form a containing cavity together with the insert. The temperature detection member is arranged in the containing cavity. The thermal conductivity of the insert is higher than that of the injection molding member. The application can improve the sealing property of the shell assembly, reduce the risk of water vapor intrusion, improve the long-term reliability of the temperature detection member working in the containing cavity, and reduce the risk of heat dissipation in the containing cavity. The thermal conductivity of the insert is higher than that of the injection molding member, which can help to directly transfer the heat of the battery monomers to the temperature detection member, reduce the risk of temperature transfer from the current collecting component to the injection molding member, reduce the influence of the temperature on the current collecting component on the temperature detection member, improve the precision and accuracy of the temperature detection member in detecting the temperature of the battery monomers, and improve the use stability and reliability of the battery device.
