[0125] At present, from the development of market situation, the application of battery device is more and more widely. The battery device is not only applied to the energy storage power supply system of water power, fire power, wind power and solar power station, but also widely applied to electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric vehicles and other electric vehicles, military equipment, aerospace and other fields. With the continuous expansion of the application field of battery device, the market demand is also increasing.
[0126] In the use process of the battery monomer, the temperature of the battery monomer is too high or too low, which leads to the problem that the performance of the battery monomer cannot meet the expected requirements.
[0127] The reason for the above problem is that during the working process of the battery device, a large amount of heat is generated at the end cover assembly of the battery monomer due to overcurrent. This part of heat cannot be dissipated to the external environment in time, so as to reversely heat the electrode assembly, so that the battery monomer reaches the current limiting temperature too early, so as to affect the performance of the battery monomer, and further affect the performance and service life of the battery device.
[0128] Based on the above problems, the battery cell provided in the embodiments of the present application includes a shell, an end cover assembly and an electrode assembly. The shell includes a bottom wall, a side wall and a cavity open at one end in a first direction enclosed by the bottom wall and the side wall. The electrode assembly is accommodated in the shell. The end cover assembly covers the opening of the shell and is connected with the electrode assembly, so that the electrode assembly can form a loop with external devices through the end cover assembly. The heat conduction assembly includes a first heat conduction part and a second heat conduction part. The heat conductivity of the heat conduction assembly is greater than that of the end cover assembly and the shell. The external heat conduction channel of the battery cell is established through the first heat conduction part arranged on the side surface of the end cover assembly away from the electrode assembly, so as to reduce the thermal resistance at the end cover assembly. The total area of the heat conduction assembly is increased through the second heat conduction part arranged on the side wall, so as to increase the heat exchange rate between the battery cell and the external environment, and to improve the problem that the performance and service life of the battery cell are adversely affected due to excessively high or low temperature.

[0163] Firstly, such as Figure 4 to Figure 8 As shown, this application provides a battery cell 3, which includes a housing 4, an end cap assembly 6, and an electrode assembly 5. The housing 4 includes a bottom wall 43, a side wall 42, and a cavity enclosed by the bottom wall 43 and the side wall 42 with one end open in a first direction X. The electrode assembly 5 is disposed in the cavity, and the end cap assembly 6 covers the opening 41. The electrode assembly 5 and the end cap assembly 6 are connected. The thermal conductive assembly 7 includes a first thermal conductive part 71 and a second thermal conductive part 72 connected to each other. The first thermal conductive part 71 is disposed on the side surface of the end cap assembly 6 away from the electrode assembly 5, and the second thermal conductive part 72 is disposed on the side wall 42. The thermal conductivity of the thermal conductive assembly 7 is greater than that of the end cap assembly 6 and the housing 4.
[0164] In the embodiment of this application, the battery cell 3 includes a housing 4, an end cap assembly 6, and an electrode assembly 5. The housing 4 includes a bottom wall 43, a side wall 42, and a cavity enclosed by the bottom wall 43 and the side wall 42 with an opening 41 at one end in a first direction X. The electrode assembly 5 is housed within the housing 4. The end cap assembly 6 covers the opening 41 of the housing 4 and is connected to the electrode assembly 5, so that the electrode assembly 5 can form a circuit with external devices through the end cap assembly 6. The heat-conducting assembly 7 includes a first heat-conducting part 71 and a second heat-conducting part 72. The thermal conductivity of the heat-conducting component 7 is greater than that of the end cap assembly 6 and the housing 4. An external heat-conducting channel for the battery cell 3 is established by the first heat-conducting part 71 disposed on the side surface of the end cap assembly 6 away from the electrode assembly 5, so as to reduce the thermal resistance at the end cap assembly 6. The total area of the heat-conducting component 7 is increased by the second heat-conducting part 72 disposed on the side wall 42, thereby increasing the rate of heat exchange between the battery cell 3 and the external environment and improving the problem that the battery cell 3 is adversely affected by excessively high or low temperature.
[0165] The heat-conducting component 7 includes a first heat-conducting part 71, which is disposed on the side surface of the end cap assembly 6 facing away from the electrode assembly 5. This allows the heat-conducting component 7 to transfer the heat from the end cap assembly 6 to the external environment more quickly in high-temperature environments, thereby improving the problem of the end cap assembly 6 heating the electrode assembly 5 in reverse, causing the battery cell 3 to reach the current-limiting temperature too quickly and affecting the performance of the battery cell 3. Alternatively, in low-temperature environments, the heat-conducting component 7 can transfer the heat from the external environment to the end cap assembly 6 more quickly, thereby increasing the temperature of the electrode assembly 5 through the end cap assembly 6, thus improving the problem of the battery cell 3 experiencing a decrease in capacity and pulse performance due to low temperature.
[0166] The thermal conductivity of the thermally conductive component 7 is greater than that of the end cap component 6 and the housing 4. The thermally conductive component 7 may include copper, copper alloy, silver, silver alloy, graphite, graphene, or carbon nanotubes, etc.

[0170] The first heat-conducting part 71 can be in a strip shape or a flat plate shape or a mesh plate shape, etc., and can be in a rectangular shape or a circular shape or a rhombic shape, etc., and the specific shape and size of the first heat-conducting part 71 can be flexibly designed.
[0171] Optionally, a plurality of first heat-conducting parts 71 are spaced apart on the end cover assembly 6, which can not only conduct the heat of the end cover assembly 6 through the first heat-conducting part 71, but also reduce the size of the heat-conducting assembly 7 and the preparation cost of the battery monomer 3.
[0172] Optionally, one end of the first heat-conducting part 71 is connected to the end cover assembly 6, and the other end thereof extends out of the end cover assembly 6, so as to increase the contact area of the heat-conducting assembly 7 and the external environment and improve the heat-conducting rate of the heat-conducting assembly 7.
[0173] Optionally, the first heat-conducting part 71 is arranged around the circumferential edge of the end cover assembly 6, so as to increase the contact area of the heat-conducting assembly 7 and the end cover assembly 6 and improve the heat exchange efficiency between the heat-conducting assembly 7 and the end cover assembly 6.

[0175] The battery device can further include a heat exchange mechanism 8, which is usually arranged at the side wall 42 of the shell 4. The second heat-conducting part 72, which is connected to the first heat-conducting part 71 and arranged on the side wall 42, can shorten the distance between the heat-conducting assembly 7 and the heat exchange mechanism 8, so as to enhance the heat exchange rate of the end cover assembly 6 and the heat exchange mechanism 8.
[0176] The second heat-conducting part 72 is arranged on the side wall 42, and the second heat-conducting part 72 and the side wall 42 abut or bond to each other, or are spaced apart, and are in thermal connection through a heat-conducting medium, which can be air or heat-conducting glue, etc.
[0177] Optionally, the first heat-conducting part 71 and the second heat-conducting part 72 are separately prepared and are bonded to each other, so as to facilitate adjustment of the shape and size of the first heat-conducting part 71 and the second heat-conducting part 72; or the first heat-conducting part 71 and the second heat-conducting part 72 are integrally formed and are obtained by folding the same base material, so as to reduce the processing difficulty of the heat-conducting assembly 7.
[0178] During the working process of the battery monomer 3, the temperature of the end closer to the end cover assembly 6 is relatively high, and the temperature of the end farther from the end cover assembly 6 is relatively low. The second heat-conducting part 72 arranged on the side wall 42 can conduct and balance the temperature of the battery monomer 3 in the first direction X.
[0179] Optionally, in the first direction X, the second heat-conducting part 72 extends at both ends of the side wall 42.
[0180] Optionally, a plurality of second heat-conducting parts 72 are arranged at intervals on the side wall 42, which can not only conduct the heat of the end cover assembly 6, but also reduce the size of the heat-conducting assembly 7 and the manufacturing cost of the battery monomer 3.
[0181] Optionally, the end cover assembly 6 is rectangular, and four mutually independent first heat-conducting parts 71 are arranged at four edges of the end cover assembly 6 in the second direction Y and the third direction Z, respectively. The four first heat-conducting parts 71 are connected by splicing and are arranged without overlapping each other, so as to increase the contact area of the first heat-conducting part 71 and the end cover assembly 6, and not to increase the size of the battery monomer 3 in the first direction X because of the arrangement of the heat-conducting assembly 7.
[0182] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the side wall 42 includes two first side walls 421 and two second side walls 422, the two first side walls 421 are arranged opposite to each other in the second direction Y, and the two second side walls 422 are arranged opposite to each other in the third direction Z. The first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z intersect with each other, the area of the first side wall 421 is greater than that of the second side wall 422, the second heat-conducting part 72 is arranged on the first side wall 421, and / or the second heat-conducting part 72 is arranged on the second side wall 422. Figure 5 to Figure 8 In these embodiments, the second heat-conducting part 72 is arranged on at least one of the first side wall 421 and the second side wall 422, so that when the battery monomer 3 is arranged in the box body 202, the second heat-conducting part 72 can be close to the heat exchange mechanism 8, so as to improve the heat exchange rate between the heat exchange mechanism 8 and the battery monomer 3, better balance the temperature of the battery monomer 3, and improve the use performance of the battery device 2.
[0183] Optionally, the second direction Y is the width direction of the battery monomer 3, the first direction X is the height direction of the battery monomer 3, and the third direction Z is the length direction of the battery monomer 3.
[0184]
[0185] The first side wall 421 has a larger area than the second side wall 422, and thus the second heat conduction part 72 can be arranged on the first side wall 421 with a larger area to improve the heat conduction rate of the second heat conduction part 72 to the shell. The specific areas of the first side wall 421 and the second side wall 422 can be designed as needed.

[0187] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 to Figure 8 , the second heat conduction part 72 covers the entire first side wall 421, or the second heat conduction part 72 covers the entire second side wall 422.
[0188] In these embodiments, the second heat conduction part 72 covers the entire first side wall 421, or the second heat conduction part 72 covers the entire second side wall 422, to increase the contact area between the second heat conduction part 72 and the external environment and improve the heat conduction performance of the heat conduction assembly 7.
[0189] Optionally, the second heat conduction part 72 and the first side wall 421 are bonded, and / or the second heat conduction part 72 and the second side wall 422 are bonded.

[0191] Please refer to Figure 9 , Figure 9 , which is a structural schematic diagram of a battery cell provided in an embodiment of the present application.
[0192] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 9 , the side wall 42 and the end cover assembly 6 are connected through a rounded corner, and the rounded corner is spaced apart from the heat conduction assembly 7.
[0193] In these embodiments, the side wall 42 and the end cover assembly 6 are connected through a rounded corner, and the rounded corner is spaced apart from the heat conduction assembly 7, so that there is a gap between the shell 4 and the heat conduction assembly 7 that can accommodate the expansion deformation of the shell 4, thereby reducing the risk that the heat conduction assembly 7 is broken by the expansion of the battery cell 3.
[0194] The side wall 42 and the end cover assembly 6 are connected through a transition rounded corner, which relieves the stress at the connection between the side wall 42 and the end cover assembly 6 and reduces the risk that a sharp angle between the side wall 42 and the end cover assembly 6 pierces other components.

[0196] The fillet and the heat conduction assembly 7 are spaced apart, that is, there is a partial gap between the second heat conduction part 72 and the side wall 42, so that during the expansion of the battery monomer 3, the partial gap can accommodate at least part of the expansion deformation of the shell 4, so as to reduce the extrusion force of the shell 4 on the second heat conduction part 72, and reduce the risk of expansion of the heat conduction assembly 7.
[0197] Optionally, the second heat conduction part 72 and the side wall 42 are spaced apart along the second direction Y or the third direction Z, the second heat conduction part 72 is bonded to the side wall 42, or the second heat conduction part 72 is connected to the battery monomer 3 through the first heat conduction part 71, so that the gap between the second heat conduction part 72 and the side wall 42 is formed to accommodate the expansion deformation of the shell 4.
[0198] Optionally, the first heat conduction part 71 and the second heat conduction part 72 are connected in a fillet transition to disperse the stress acting between the first heat conduction part 71 and the second heat conduction part 72, and reduce the risk of breakage at the connection between the first heat conduction part 71 and the second heat conduction part 72.

[0200] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 8 to Figure 10 , the heat conduction assembly 7 further includes a bonding layer 74, and the bonding layer 74 includes a first bonding layer 741, and the second heat conduction part 72 is bonded to the side wall 42 through the first bonding layer 741.
[0201] In these embodiments, the second heat conduction part 72 is bonded to the side wall 42 through the first bonding layer 741, which can not only reduce the connection difficulty of the second heat conduction part 72 and the side wall 42, but also improve the stability of the second heat conduction part 72.
[0202] Optionally, the first bonding layer 741 is an insulating adhesive layer, and the second heat conduction part 72 is connected to the side wall 42 through the insulating adhesive layer, so as to enhance the insulation performance of the battery monomer 3.
[0203] Optionally, the area of the first bonding layer 741 can be flexibly designed, and exemplarily, the first bonding layer 741 is applied to the entire side wall 42 to improve the connection reliability of the side wall 42 and the second heat conduction part 72.
[0204] Optionally, the shape of the first bonding layer 741 can be flexibly designed, and exemplarily, the first bonding layer 741 is in any two-dimensional image such as a circle, a rectangle, or a rhombus, etc.
[0205] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7, the thickness L1 of the adhesive layer 74 satisfies L1≥0.5mm. Figure 8 to Figure 10
[0206] In these embodiments, when the thickness of the adhesive layer 74 satisfies the above condition, the adhesive layer 74 forms a sufficient gap between the second heat-conducting part 72 and the side wall 42 to accommodate the expansion deformation of the shell 4, so as to reduce the risk of the heat-conducting assembly 7 being burst due to the expansion of the battery cell 3.
[0207] For example, the thickness L1 of the adhesive layer 74 is 0.5mm, 0.6mm, 1.0mm or 2mm, etc.
[0208] Optionally, the adhesive layer 74 is arranged between the second heat-conducting part 72 and the side wall 42 to fix the second heat-conducting part 72 to the side wall 42, and the spacing between the second heat-conducting part 72 and the side wall 42 can be adjusted by adjusting the thickness of the adhesive layer 74.
[0209] For example, the end cover assembly 6 and the first side wall 421 are connected through a rounded corner, the second heat-conducting part 72 and the first side wall 421 are arranged in the second direction Y, the spacing between the second heat-conducting part 72 and the rounded corner at the end of the second heat-conducting part 72 close to the second heat-conducting part 72 in the second direction Y is greater than or equal to 0.5mm, and the spacing between the second heat-conducting part 72 and the rounded corner at the end of the second heat-conducting part 72 away from the second heat-conducting part 72 in the second direction Y is greater than or equal to 1.0mm.
[0210] For example, the expansion size of the battery cell 3 during the charging and discharging process is less than 0.5mm, so that the gap between the second heat-conducting part 72 and the side wall 42 can accommodate the expansion of the battery cell 3. Alternatively, the user can set the gap between the second heat-conducting part 72 and the side wall 42 according to the actual expansion size of the battery cell 3.
[0211] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7, the first adhesive layer 741 is arranged in the first direction X away from the edge of the side wall 42 at one end of the first heat-conducting part 71. Figure 8 to Figure 10 In these embodiments, the first adhesive layer 741 is arranged away from the edge of the side wall 42 at one end of the first heat-conducting part 71, so as to facilitate the co-deformation of the second heat-conducting part 72 and the shell 4 during the expansion of the battery cell 3, and reduce the risk of the heat-conducting assembly 7 being burst during the expansion of the battery cell 3.
[0212] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7, the first adhesive layer 741 is arranged in the first direction X away from the edge of the side wall 42 at one end of the first heat-conducting part 71.
[0213] In these embodiments, the first adhesive layer 741 is arranged away from the edge of the side wall 42 at one end of the first heat-conducting part 71, so as to facilitate the co-deformation of the second heat-conducting part 72 and the shell 4 during the expansion of the battery cell 3, and reduce the risk of the heat-conducting assembly 7 being burst during the expansion of the battery cell 3.Part of the second heat-conducting part 72 is adhered to the side wall 42 by the first adhesive layer 741, while part of the second heat-conducting part 72 located in the region between the first adhesive layer 741 and the edge of the side wall 42 in the first direction X is not fixed, so that this part of the second heat-conducting part 72 is prone to deformation in the second direction Y during the expansion of the battery cell 3, and absorbs the expansion of the shell 4 through deformation, thereby reducing the risk of the heat-conducting assembly 7 being broken by expansion.
[0214] Optionally, the adhesive layer 74 and the rounded region are arranged at intervals, so that the part of the second heat-conducting part 72 corresponding to the rounded region is prone to deformation.
[0215] Optionally, a plurality of first adhesive layers 741 are arranged at the edge positions of the side wall 42 in the first direction X and the second direction Y, respectively, so that in the case where the first adhesive layer 741 can fix the second heat-conducting part 72 and the side wall 42, a gap for accommodating the expansion of the battery cell 3 can be formed between the middle region of the side wall 42 and the second heat-conducting part 72, and the material cost of the heat-conducting assembly 7 is reduced. For example, four first adhesive layers 741 in the shape of a rectangle are arranged end to end and at the edge positions of the first side wall 421 in the first direction X and the second direction Y, respectively.
[0216] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 8 to Figure 10 The minimum distance L4 between the end of the first adhesive layer 741 in the first direction X towards the first heat-conducting part 71 and the edge of the side wall 42 is greater than or equal to 10 mm.
[0217] In these embodiments, when the minimum distance between the end of the first adhesive layer 741 in the first direction X towards the first heat-conducting part 71 and the edge of the side wall 42 meets the above condition, the second heat-conducting part 72 can conveniently deform together with the shell 4 during the expansion of the battery cell 3, thereby reducing the risk of the heat-conducting assembly 7 being broken by expansion during the expansion of the battery cell 3, and the processing cost of the battery cell 3 is also reduced.
[0218] For example, the distance L4 between the end of the first adhesive layer 741 in the first direction X towards the first heat-conducting part 71 and the edge of the side wall 42 is 10 mm or 12 mm or 15 mm, etc.
[0219] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 8As shown, the side wall 42 includes two first side walls 421 and two second side walls 422, the two first side walls 421 are oppositely arranged in the second direction Y, and the two second side walls 422 are oppositely arranged in the third direction Z, the first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other, the area of the first side wall 421 is greater than the area of the second side wall 422, and at least two second heat conduction parts 72 are arranged on the first side wall 421 and the second side wall 422, wherein each second heat conduction part 72 arranged on the first side wall 421 and the second side wall 422 is independent of each other.
[0220] In some embodiments, at least two second heat conduction parts 72 are arranged on the first side wall 421 and the second side wall 422, and each second heat conduction part 72 arranged on the first side wall 421 and the second side wall 422 is independent of each other, so that during the expansion of the battery monomer 3, the two second heat conduction parts 72 arranged on the first side wall 421 and the second side wall 422 move independently of each other, thereby reducing the risk of expansion and breakage of the heat conduction assembly 7.
[0221] Specifically, one or two first side walls 421 are provided with second heat conduction parts 72, and one or two second side walls 422 are provided with second heat conduction parts 72, and each second heat conduction part 72 arranged on the first side wall 421 and the second side wall 422 is arranged independently of each other.
[0222] For example, during the expansion of the battery monomer 3, the second heat conduction part 72 arranged on the first side wall 421 deforms with the first side wall 421, and since the two first heat conduction parts 71 arranged on the first side wall 421 and the second side wall 422 are independent of each other, the second heat conduction part 72 arranged on the first side wall 421 will not be pulled by the second heat conduction part 72 arranged on the second side wall 422, thereby reducing the problem of excessive extrusion between the second heat conduction part 72 arranged on the first side wall 421 and the second side wall 422, and breakage of the second heat conduction part 72.
[0223] Optionally, the second heat conduction part 72 arranged on the first side wall 421 is arranged at intervals between the two ends of the third direction Z and the two side edges of the first side wall 421 in the third direction Z, and / or the second heat conduction part 72 arranged on the second side wall 422 is arranged at intervals between the two ends of the second direction Y and the two side edges of the second side wall 422 in the second direction Y.
[0224] Please refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12 , Figure 11 is a side view of a battery monomer provided by an embodiment of the present application; Figure 12 is a side view of a battery monomer provided by an embodiment of the present application.
[0225] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 , Figure 8 , Figure 11 andFigure 12 As shown, the minimum distance L2 between the second heat-conducting part 72 arranged on the first side wall 421 and the adjacent second side wall 422 in the third direction Z satisfies L2≥10 mm; and / or the minimum distance L3 between the second heat-conducting part 72 arranged on the second side wall 422 and the adjacent first side wall 421 in the second direction Y satisfies L3≥10 mm.
[0226] In these embodiments, when the minimum distance L2 between the second heat-conducting part 72 arranged on the first side wall 421 and the adjacent second side wall 422 in the third direction Z and / or the minimum distance L3 between the second heat-conducting part 72 arranged on the second side wall 422 and the adjacent first side wall 421 in the second direction Y satisfy the above conditions, it is convenient for the second heat-conducting parts 72 to move together during the expansion of the battery cell 3, so as to reduce the risk of the heat-conducting assembly 7 being broken by expansion, and increasing the distance between the second heat-conducting parts 72 arranged on the first side wall 421 and the second side wall 422 can reduce the risk of the two second heat-conducting parts 72 being pressed and damaged during the deformation of the second heat-conducting parts 72 caused by the expansion of the shell 4, thereby improving the service life of the heat-conducting assembly 7.
[0227] For example, the minimum distance L2 between the second heat-conducting part 72 arranged on the first side wall 421 and the adjacent second side wall 422 in the third direction Z can be 10 mm, 11 mm, 12 mm, or 15 mm, etc.
[0228] The minimum distance L3 between the second heat-conducting part 72 arranged on the second side wall 422 and the adjacent first side wall 421 in the second direction Y can be 10 mm, 11 mm, 12 mm, or 15 mm, etc.
[0229] Optionally, the minimum distance between the second heat-conducting part 72 arranged on the first side wall 421 and the adjacent second side wall 422 in the third direction Z and the minimum distance between the second heat-conducting part 72 arranged on the second side wall 422 and the adjacent first side wall 421 in the second direction Y are the same, which reduces the difficulty of matching the second heat-conducting part and the shell.
[0230] Please refer to Figure 13 , Figure 13 which is a structural schematic diagram of a battery cell provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0232] In the embodiments, the heat conduction assembly 7 further comprises a third heat conduction part 73 connected with the second heat conduction part 72, and the third heat conduction part 73 is arranged on the bottom wall 43. The heat of the end cover assembly 6 can be transferred to the bottom wall 43 through the first heat conduction part 71 and the second heat conduction part 72, and then conducted to the external environment through the third heat conduction part 73. The third heat conduction part 73 can increase the contact area between the heat conduction assembly 7 and the external environment, improve the heat conduction performance of the heat conduction assembly 7, enhance the heat exchange efficiency between the end cover assembly 6 and the external environment, and enhance the heat conduction performance of the bottom wall 43 of the battery monomer 3. The heat conduction assembly 7 can better balance the temperature of the battery monomer 3 and improve the use performance of the battery device 2.
[0233] Specifically, the heat conduction assembly 7 comprises the first heat conduction part 71, the second heat conduction part 72 and the third heat conduction part 73, and the first heat conduction part 71 and the third heat conduction part 73 are respectively connected to the two ends of the second heat conduction part 72 in the first direction X.

Exemplarily, the first heat conduction part 71, the second heat conduction part 72 and the third heat conduction part 73 are integrally formed and obtained by bending the same base material.
[0237] Optionally, a plurality of second heat conduction parts 72 are arranged at intervals and connected to the third heat conduction part 73 to increase the connection area of the second heat conduction part 72 and the third heat conduction part 73 and improve the heat conduction rate of the heat conduction assembly 7. Exemplarily, four second heat conduction parts 72 are arranged on the two first side walls 421 and the two second side walls 422 respectively, and the four second heat conduction parts 72 are connected to the third heat conduction part 73 to increase the connection area of the second heat conduction part 72 and the third heat conduction part 73.
[0238] Optionally, the size and shape of the third heat conduction part 73 can be designed as desired. Exemplarily, the third heat conduction part 73 is rectangular, circular or circular ring-shaped, etc.
[0239] In some embodiments, as Figure 13As shown, the bottom wall 43 comprises a first portion 431 and a second portion 432, and the third heat-conducting part 73 is arranged on the first portion 431, and the second portion 432 is used to connect with the mounting position.
[0240] In some embodiments, the bottom wall 43 comprises a first portion 431 and a second portion 432, the third heat-conducting part 73 arranged on the first portion 431 is used to conduct heat, and the second portion 432 is used to connect the battery monomer 3 with the mounting position to fix the battery monomer 3.
[0241] For example, the mounting position is arranged on the heat exchange mechanism 8 or the box body 202.
[0242] For example, the mounting position can be arranged on the heat exchange mechanism 8, the third heat-conducting part 73 is arranged on the first portion 431, and part of the heat exchange mechanism 8 is arranged on the side of the third heat-conducting part 73 away from the first portion 431, so that the heat of the end cover assembly 6 can be transmitted to the heat exchange mechanism 8 through the third heat-conducting part 73, and the other part of the heat exchange mechanism 8 is connected to the second portion 432 of the bottom wall 43, so that the battery monomer 3 and the heat exchange mechanism 8 are stably connected.

[0244] Optionally, the first portion 431 surrounds the outside of the second portion 432, so as to facilitate the connection between the third heat-conducting part 73 and the second heat-conducting part 72 arranged on the side wall 42, thereby reducing the difficulty of arranging the heat-conducting assembly 7; or the first portion 431 and the second portion 432 are arranged in the second direction Y, so as to facilitate the connection between the third heat-conducting part 73 and the second heat-conducting part 72 arranged on the first side wall 421; or the first portion 431 and the second portion 432 are arranged in the third direction Z, so as to facilitate the connection between the third heat-conducting part 73 and the second heat-conducting part 72 arranged on the second side wall 422.
[0245] Please refer to Figure 14 , Figure 14 which is a structural schematic diagram of a battery monomer provided by an embodiment of the present application.
[0246] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 14 , the side wall 42 and the bottom wall 43 are connected with a rounded corner, and the rounded corner is arranged away from the heat-conducting assembly 7.
[0247] In the scheme of the embodiment of the present application, the side wall 42 and the bottom wall 43 are connected with a rounded corner, and the rounded corner is arranged away from the heat-conducting assembly 7, so that there is a gap between the shell 4 and the heat-conducting assembly 7, which can accommodate the expansion deformation of the shell 4, thereby reducing the risk that the heat-conducting assembly 7 is broken by the expansion of the battery monomer 3.
[0248] The side wall 42 and the bottom wall 43 are connected through a rounded corner to relieve stress at the connection between the side wall 42 and the bottom wall 43 and reduce the risk of a sharp corner between the side wall 42 and the bottom wall 43 puncturing other components.
[0249] For example, the radius of the rounded corner between the side wall 42 and the bottom wall 43 is greater than or equal to 0.5 mm, and for example, the radius of the rounded corner is 0.5 mm, 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, or 5 mm.
[0250] The rounded corner and the heat conduction assembly 7 are spaced apart, that is, there is a gap between the second heat conduction part 72 and the side wall 42, so that during the expansion of the battery monomer 3, at least part of the expansion of the shell 4 can be accommodated, so as to reduce the extrusion force of the shell 4 on the second heat conduction part 72 and reduce the risk of the heat conduction assembly 7 being expanded and broken.
[0251] Optionally, the third heat conduction part 73 and the second heat conduction part 72 are connected through a rounded corner to disperse stress between the third heat conduction part 73 and the second heat conduction part 72 and reduce the risk of the third heat conduction part 73 and the second heat conduction part 72 being broken at the connection.
[0252] Optionally, the side wall 42 and the bottom wall 43 are connected through a rounded corner, the side wall 42 and the end cover assembly 6 are connected through a rounded corner, and the rounded corner and the heat conduction assembly 7 are spaced apart to provide a gap between the shell 4 and the heat conduction assembly 7 that can accommodate the expansion and deformation of the shell 4 and reduce the risk of the heat conduction assembly 7 being expanded and broken due to the expansion of the battery monomer 3.
[0253] Please refer to Figure 15 , Figure 15 is a bottom view of a battery monomer provided in an embodiment of the present application.
[0254] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 13 to Figure 15 , the heat conduction assembly 7 further includes an adhesive layer 74, and the adhesive layer 74 includes a second adhesive layer 742, and the third heat conduction part 73 is adhered to the bottom wall 43 through the second adhesive layer 742.
[0255] In these embodiments, the third heat conduction part 73 is adhered to the bottom wall 43 through the second adhesive layer 742 to improve the stability of the third heat conduction part 73.
[0256] Optionally, the second adhesive layer 742 is an insulating adhesive layer, and the third heat conduction part 73 is connected to the bottom wall 43 through the insulating adhesive layer to enhance the insulation performance of the battery monomer 3.
[0257] Optionally, the area of the second adhesive layer 742 can be flexibly designed, and for example, the shape of the second adhesive layer 742 is the same as the shape of the first part 431, and the second adhesive layer 742 is applied to the entire first part 431 of the bottom wall 43 to improve the connection reliability of the bottom wall 43 and the third heat conduction part 73.
[0258] Optionally, the shape of the second adhesive layer 742 can be flexibly designed. For example, the second adhesive layer 742 can be in the shape of a circle, a rectangle, a rhombus, or any other two-dimensional pattern.
[0259] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 13 to Figure 15 The second adhesive layer 742 is spaced apart from the edge of the bottom wall 43 at one end of the second heat-conducting part 72.
[0260] In these embodiments, the second adhesive layer 742 is spaced apart from the edge of the bottom wall 43 at one end of the second heat-conducting part 72, so as to facilitate the movement of the second heat-conducting part 72 together with the shell 4 during the expansion of the battery monomer 3, and reduce the risk of the heat-conducting assembly 7 being damaged by expansion.
[0261] Part of the third heat-conducting part 73 is adhered to the bottom wall 43 by the second adhesive layer 742, and part of the third heat-conducting part 73 located between the second adhesive layer 742 and the edge of the bottom wall 43 is not fixed. The second heat-conducting part 72 and the third heat-conducting part 73 are connected, so that during the expansion of the battery monomer 3, the part of the third heat-conducting part 73 connected with the second heat-conducting part 72 is easy to deform to absorb the expansion of the shell 4, thereby reducing the risk of the heat-conducting assembly 7 being damaged by expansion.

For example, the distance between the second adhesive layer 742 and the edge of the bottom wall 43 at one end of the second heat-conducting part 72 is 5 mm, 6 mm, or 10 mm, etc.
[0264] Optionally, a plurality of second adhesive layers 742 are arranged at the edge positions of the bottom wall 43 in the second direction Y and / or the third direction Z, so that in the case that the second adhesive layer 742 can fix the third heat-conducting part 73 and the bottom wall 43, a second part 432 of the connection heat exchange mechanism 8 can be formed between the middle region of the side wall 42 and the third heat-conducting part 73. For example, four rectangular second adhesive layers 742 are arranged end to end at the edge positions of the bottom wall 43 in the second direction Y and the third direction Z.
[0265] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 13 to Figure 15 The minimum distance between the second adhesive layer 742 and the edge of the bottom wall 43 at one end of the second heat-conducting part 72 is greater than or equal to 10 mm.
[0266] In these embodiments, when the minimum distance between the end of the second heat-conducting part 72 and the edge of the bottom wall 43 towards which the second adhesive layer 742 is directed satisfies the above condition, it is convenient for the second heat-conducting part 72 and the shell 4 to deform synchronously during the expansion of the battery cell 3, so as to reduce the risk of the heat-conducting assembly 7 being broken by expansion, and the processing cost of the battery cell 3 is reduced.
[0267] For example, the second heat-conducting part 72 is arranged on the first side wall 421, and the minimum distance between the end of the second heat-conducting part 72 and the edge of the bottom wall 43 towards which the second adhesive layer 742 is directed in the second direction Y is greater than or equal to 10 mm; and / or the second heat-conducting part 72 is arranged on the second side wall 422, and the minimum distance between the end of the second heat-conducting part 72 and the edge of the bottom wall 43 towards which the second adhesive layer 742 is directed in the third direction Z is greater than or equal to 10 mm.
[0268] For example, the minimum distance between the end of the second heat-conducting part 72 and the edge of the bottom wall 43 towards which the second adhesive layer 742 is directed can be 10 mm, 11 mm, 12 mm, or 15 mm, etc.
[0269] Please refer to Figure 16 , Figure 16 which is a top view of the battery cell provided in an embodiment of the present application.
[0270] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 14 and Figure 16 , the heat-conducting assembly 7 further comprises an adhesive layer 74, and the adhesive layer 74 comprises a third adhesive layer 743, and the first heat-conducting part 71 is adhered to the end cover assembly 6 through the third adhesive layer 743.
[0271] In these embodiments, the first heat-conducting part 71 is adhered to the end cover assembly 6 through the third adhesive layer 743, so as to improve the stability of the first heat-conducting part 71.
[0272] Optionally, the third adhesive layer 743 is an insulating adhesive layer, and the first heat-conducting part 71 is connected to the end cover assembly 6 through the insulating adhesive layer, so as to enhance the insulation performance of the battery cell 3.
[0273] Optionally, the shape of the third adhesive layer 743 can be flexibly designed. For example, the third adhesive layer 743 is in a rectangular or circular shape, etc.
[0274] Optionally, the four third adhesive layers 743 are connected end to end and arranged at the edge positions of the end cover assembly 6 in the second direction Y and the third direction Z, so as to improve the connection reliability of the end cover assembly 6 and the first heat-conducting part 71.
[0275] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 14 and Figure 16 , the third adhesive layer 743 is arranged at a distance from the edge of the end cover assembly 6 towards the end of the second heat-conducting part 72.
[0276] In these embodiments, the third adhesive layer 743 is spaced apart from the edge of the end cover assembly 6 and the end of the second heat conduction part 72, so as to facilitate the second heat conduction part 72 to move together with the shell 4 during the expansion of the battery cell 3, and reduce the risk of the heat conduction assembly 7 being expanded and broken during the expansion of the battery cell 3.
[0277] Part of the first heat conduction part 71 is adhered to the end cover assembly 6 by the third adhesive layer 743, and part of the first heat conduction part 71 located between the third adhesive layer 743 and the edge of the end cover assembly 6 is not fixed. The second heat conduction part 72 is connected to the first heat conduction part 71, so that during the expansion of the battery cell 3, the part of the third heat conduction part 73 connected to the second heat conduction part 72 is easy to deform to absorb the expansion of the shell 4, thereby reducing the risk of the heat conduction assembly 7 being expanded and broken.
[0278] Optionally, the third adhesive layer 743 is spaced apart from the rounded corner region, so that the part of the first heat conduction part 71 corresponding to the rounded corner region is easy to deform.
[0279] Optionally, the distance between the third adhesive layer 743 and the edge of the end cover assembly 6 towards the end of the second heat conduction part 72 is greater than or equal to 5 mm. For example, the distance between the third adhesive layer 743 and the edge of the end cover assembly 6 towards the end of the second heat conduction part 72 is 5 mm or 6 mm or 10 mm, etc.

[0311] In these embodiments, the second insulation layer 92 is connected with the insulation member 75, and the insulation member 75 and the second insulation layer 92 jointly cover the outer surface of the shell 4 and the end cover assembly 6. The combination of the second insulation layer 92 and the insulation member 75 achieves the insulation of the battery monomer 3, and also helps to reduce the size of the second insulation layer 92, reduce the manufacturing cost of the battery monomer 3, and reduce the self-weight of the battery monomer 3, thereby improving the energy density of the battery monomer 3.
[0312] The insulation member 75 of the heat-conducting assembly 7 covers part of the outer surface of the shell 4 of the battery monomer 3 or part of the outer surface of the end cover assembly 6.

[0315] Referring to Figure 21 and Figure 22 , Figure 21 is a structural schematic diagram of a battery cell provided by an embodiment of the present application; Figure 22 is a structural schematic diagram of a battery device provided by an embodiment of the present application.
[0316] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 , Figure 20 to Figure 22 , the insulating part 75 is arranged on the outer surface of the end cover assembly 6 and the shell 4.
[0317] In these embodiments, the insulating part 75 is arranged on the outer surface of the end cover assembly 6 and the shell 4, so that the battery cell 3 and the box body 202 and the adjacent battery cell 3 are insulated from each other, and no additional insulating film needs to be arranged, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the battery cell 3.
[0318] In the embodiments of the present application, the battery cell 3 and the box body 202 are insulated by the insulating part 75, and no first insulating layer 91 needs to be arranged, or in other words, the first insulating layer 91 is replaced by the insulating part 75. The thermal conductivity of the insulating part 75 and the first insulating layer 91 is similar, so in the embodiments of the present application, replacing the first insulating layer 91 with the insulating part 75 will not greatly affect the heat dissipation of the electrode assembly 5; the heat-conducting part 76 is arranged in the insulating part 75, and the thermal conductivity of the heat-conducting part 76 is greater than that of the first insulating layer 91, so compared with the case where the insulating part 75 or the first insulating layer 91 is arranged, arranging the heat-conducting part 76 in the insulating part 75 can improve the heat conduction rate between the battery cell 3 and the external environment, that is, the heat-conducting assembly 7 can improve the heat conduction efficiency between the battery cell 3 and the external environment.
[0319] The thermal conductivity of the heat-conducting assembly 7 can be measured by a heat flow method or a hot plate method or a hot wire method, etc. When the thermal conductivity of the heat-conducting assembly 7 is tested, the test sample of the heat-conducting assembly 7 should include the heat-conducting part 76 and the insulating part 75 wrapped on the outer surface of the heat-conducting part 76.
[0320] Through the combination of the insulating part 75 and the heat-conducting part 76, the insulating part 75 not only achieves the insulation between the battery cell 3 and the box body 202, but also achieves the insulation effect of the heat-conducting part 76 and the battery cell 3.
[0321] Optionally, the heat-conducting member 76 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 77, the area of the heat-conducting member 76 matches the area of the accommodating cavity 77, the area of the accommodating cavity 77 can be smaller than the area of the insulating member 75, the heat-conducting member 76 is in contact with the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 77, and the accommodating cavity 77 serves as a limiting part for the heat-conducting member 76.

[0323] In these embodiments, the insulating member 75 is provided with the first opening 751, so that the pressure relief mechanism 63 can be exposed to the first opening 751, thereby reducing the risk that the insulating member 75 hinders the activation of the pressure relief mechanism 63 and improving the reliability of the battery monomer 3.
[0324] The cover plate 61 is provided with the pressure relief mechanism 63, when the battery monomer 3 is in thermal runaway, the pressure in the shell 4 rises, and the gas in the shell 4 is released to the outside through the pressure relief mechanism 63 to balance the internal pressure of the shell 4, thereby relieving the damage of the battery monomer 3 in thermal runaway to the adjacent battery monomers 3. Therefore, when the insulating member 75 covers the end cover assembly 6, the insulating member 75 is provided with the first opening 751 to expose the pressure relief mechanism 63, so that the insulating member 75 does not affect the activation of the pressure relief mechanism 63, and the pressure relief mechanism 63 can timely release the internal pressure of the shell 4 when the battery monomer 3 is in thermal runaway.
[0325] Optionally, the shape and size of the first opening 751 match the shape and size of the pressure relief mechanism 63, for example, the pressure relief mechanism 63 and the first opening 751 are both circular or have a waist shape, etc.
[0326] Optionally, the first opening 751 and the accommodating cavity 77 are arranged in a spaced manner, so that the first heat-conducting sheet 761 is insulated from the end cover assembly 6; the first heat-conducting sheet 761 is provided with a first avoiding hole, the first opening 751 is located in the first avoiding hole, and the insulating member 75 covers the inner wall of the first avoiding hole, so that the first heat-conducting sheet 761 is insulated from the end cover assembly 6.

[0329] The insulating member 75 is arranged on the outer surface of the battery monomer 3 to insulate the battery monomer 3 and the box body 202, and the elasticity of the insulating member 75 is stronger than that of the second heat-conducting sheet 762, so that the risk of the insulating member 75 being damaged by expansion and deformation during the charging and discharging of the battery monomer 3 is smaller than that of the second heat-conducting sheet 762. In some embodiments, the second heat-conducting sheets 762 arranged on the first side wall 421 and the second side wall 422 are independent of each other, so that when the shell 4 expands in the second direction Y, the second heat-conducting sheet 762 arranged on the first side wall 421 deforms together with the first side wall 421, thereby reducing the extrusion force between the second heat-conducting sheet 762 and the first side wall 421 and reducing the risk of damage to the second heat-conducting sheet 762.
[0330] Optionally, the second heat-conducting sheet 762 arranged on the first side wall 421 and the second heat-conducting sheet 762 arranged on the second side wall 422 have a sum of minimum distances in the second direction Y and the third direction Z greater than or equal to 10 mm, so as to reduce the risk of extrusion and damage of the two second heat-conducting sheets 762 during the deformation of the shell 4, thereby prolonging the service life of the heat-conducting member 76.
