[0025] Further improvement of the technical scheme is that the reinforcing rib assembly 2 comprises a fixed plate 21, a plurality of inner recesses 22 are formed on the side of the fixed plate 21 away from the aluminum shell 1, and the side of the inner recess 22 close to the aluminum shell 1 protrudes from the fixed plate 21.

[0027] Further improvement of the technical scheme is that the two sides of the inner recess 22 are arc-shaped.

[0028] If the two sides of the inner recess 22 are sharp right angles, the aluminum shell 1 is easy to scratch the electric core when contacting, and when the two sides of the inner recess 22 are right angles, local stress concentration is easy to occur at the right angle under stress, which may cause damage of the reinforcing rib assembly 2 or the electric core at the part. The arc-shaped design can make the stress more evenly distributed, reduce the local stress concentration phenomenon, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the entire battery structure.

[0033] Further improvement of the technical scheme is that the two sides of the fixed plate 21 are chamfered.

[0034] This design, in which the end of the fixed plate 21 is designed as a chamfered inclined surface structure, helps the assembly of the battery cell pole group, reduces collision, and improves assembly efficiency.

[0035] Through the above technical scheme, the technical effects that can be achieved by the present application mainly reflect in the following aspects:

[0036] The position of the reinforcing rib assembly 2 can reduce the influence of the deformation of the aluminum shell 1 on the battery cell, and the circular arc edge design of the inner recess 22 can effectively reduce the scratching between the battery cell and the aluminum shell 1. In addition, through the abutment and limiting fixation of the battery cell, the shaking amplitude of the battery cell in the main shell can be reduced, thereby improving the safety of the battery.
