The shell 1 is equipped with the accommodating groove 11 of one end opening 111;The electric core 2 is in the accommodating groove 11, the electric core 2 includes negative pole 21, positive pole 22 and diaphragm 23, the diaphragm 23 includes first bending part 232 and the first flat part 233 at both sides of the first bending part 232, the first mounting groove 231 is formed between the first bending part 232 and two first flat parts 233 respectively, the positive pole 22 is in the first mounting groove 231, so that the diaphragm 23 is covered in the two sides of the positive pole 22 along the first direction, the negative pole 21 is covered in the two sides of the diaphragm 23 along the first direction, and the negative pole 21 is located on the side of the diaphragm 23 away from the positive pole 22.

[0028] The technical scheme of the utility model adopts the diaphragm 23 of multiple layers in the prior art and is covered on the positive pole 22 by winding, the electric core 2 is inserted into the first mounting groove 231 from the first insertion port from top to bottom, and the two first flat parts 233 are directly covered on the two sides of the positive pole 22, so that the thickness of the diaphragm 23 is reduced, the internal space of the shell 1 is saved, the overall thickness of the electric core 2 is further reduced, and the overall thickness of the square battery monomer is further reduced. The negative pole 21 is covered on the two sides of the diaphragm 23 along the first direction and is located on the side of the diaphragm 23 away from the positive pole 22, so that the diaphragm 23 plays an isolating role between the positive pole 22 and the negative pole 21.

[0029] In the embodiment, the square battery monomer can be applied to a power supply device, and the power supply device can include a circuit protection board. The square battery monomer is electrically connected to the circuit protection board to supply power to the circuit protection board.

In the first direction, the distance between the first side and the second side can be defined as a first preset interval D1, and the first preset interval D1 can be 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 7 mm, 8 mm, 9 mm, or 10 mm. Within this range, the size of the current that can be provided by the square battery monomer can be better adjusted by adjusting the first preset interval D1, while avoiding excessive increase or attenuation of the thickness of the square battery monomer, thereby affecting the power supply of the square battery monomer.

[0032] In the embodiment, the square battery cell of the application can provide an increased current with the increase of the thickness of the square battery cell, specifically, the square battery cell of the application has a rated voltage of 3.6 V and can provide a current of 0.6-1.6 mA, which is more suitable for low-power and long-life use scenarios.

[0033] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 In an embodiment, the distance between the first side and the second side in the first direction is not less than 6 mm and not greater than 7 mm.

[0034] In the embodiment, the first direction can be consistent with the thickness direction of the square battery cell. In the first direction, the distance between the first side and the second side can be defined as a first preset distance D1, the first preset distance can be D1, and the first preset distance D1 can be further defined as 6 mm and 7 mm. Within this range, the size of the current that can be provided by the square battery cell can be better adjusted by adjusting the first preset distance D1, while avoiding excessive increase or attenuation of the thickness of the square battery cell, thereby affecting the power supply of the square battery cell.

[0036] In the embodiment, the two second flat portions 213 and the second bending portion 212 together form the second mounting groove 211, and the side of the second mounting groove 211 away from the second bending portion 212 has a second insertion port. The separator 23 is inserted into the second mounting groove 211 from the second insertion port, so that the negative electrode 21 covers the two sides of the separator 23 in the first direction, thereby eliminating the traditional mode of winding and covering the separator 23 and the positive electrode 22 with multiple layers of negative electrode 21, thereby significantly reducing the space occupied by the negative electrode 21 part while ensuring good electrical insulation and isolation performance, which helps to reduce the size of the battery cell 2 in the thickness direction, thereby facilitating the thin design of the battery. The abutment of the second bending portion 212 and the bottom wall of the separator 23 can effectively prevent electrolyte leakage, and the close contact of the second flat portion 213 and the separator 23 enhances the stability of the connection between the negative electrode 21 and the separator 23.

[0038] In the present embodiment, the arc-shaped design of the first bending part 232 can alleviate the stress concentration of the diaphragm 23 in the bending area, avoiding material fatigue fracture caused by repeated charging and discharging. The arc-shaped structure of the second bending part 212 helps to improve the contact state of the negative electrode 21 and the bottom wall of the diaphragm 23, reducing mechanical interference during assembly. Compared with the existing technology in which the bending area of the diaphragm 23 and the negative electrode 21 is designed in a right-angle bending, the arc-shaped structure of the first bending part 232 and the second bending part 212 of the present application can make the electrolyte more evenly distributed, thereby improving the stability of the battery monomer cycle.
