Specifically, the diameter of the housing 110 can be determined according to the size of the electrode assembly 120, such as 18mm, 21mm, 46mm, etc. The material of the housing 110 can be various, such as copper, iron, aluminum, steel, aluminum alloy, etc. In order to prevent rusting of the housing 110 during long-term use, a layer of anti-rust material such as metal nickel can be plated on the surface of the housing 110.
[0038] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the electrode assembly 120 is arranged inside the housing 110, and the electrode assembly 120 is a component that undergoes an electrochemical reaction in the secondary battery 100. The housing 110 can contain one or more electrode assemblies 120.

[0041] The diaphragm 122 is arranged between the positive electrode tab 121 and the negative electrode tab 123 to separate the positive electrode active material layer and the negative electrode active material layer. Taking the lithium ion secondary battery 100 as an example, the material of the positive electrode current collector 1211 can be aluminum, the positive electrode active material layer includes a positive electrode active material, and the positive electrode active material can be lithium cobaltate, lithium iron phosphate, ternary lithium, or lithium manganate, etc. The material of the negative electrode current collector 1231 can be copper, the negative electrode active material layer includes a negative electrode active material, and the negative electrode active material can be carbon or silicon, etc. The base material of the diaphragm 122 can be polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE), etc. In order to protect and insulate the battery cell, an insulating film can also be wrapped outside the battery cell, and the insulating film can be synthesized from PP, PE, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or other high molecular polymer materials.

However, in another embodiment, the negative electrode tab 124 can be connected to the pole 130, and the positive electrode tab 125 can be connected to the shell 110.
[0043] Please refer to Figure 2 The secondary battery 100 can further include a cover plate 180, which is sealingly installed in the opening 113.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The pole 130 is fixed to the end wall 111, and the end wall 111 is provided with a pole hole 1111. The pole 130 is installed in the pole hole 1111 and is insulated from the end wall 111. The pole 130 includes a columnar portion 131, a riveting portion 132, and a limiting portion 133. The riveting portion 132 and the limiting portion 133 are respectively arranged at two ends of the columnar portion 131 in the height direction, and both extend from the columnar portion 131 to the outer periphery of the end wall 111 in the radial direction of the end wall 111. The riveting portion 132 is arranged on one side of the end wall 111 in the thickness direction, and the limiting portion 133 is arranged on the other side of the end wall 111 in the thickness direction. Figure 4 In an embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 The riveting portion 132 is arranged on one side of the end wall 111 away from the electrode assembly 120, i.e., the outside of the shell 110, and the limiting portion 133 is arranged on one side of the end wall 111 facing the electrode assembly 120, i.e., the inside of the shell 110. In another embodiment, please refer to
[0045] Please refer to Figure 4The current collecting member 140 is arranged on the side of the electrode assembly 120 facing the end wall 111 and between the electrode assembly 120 and the end wall 111. One side of the current collecting member 140 is welded to the positive electrode tab 125, and the other side of the current collecting member 140 is welded to the surface of the part of the pole 130 facing the electrode assembly 120, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the pole 130 and the positive electrode tab 125.
[0046] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The surface of the pole 130 facing the electrode assembly 120 is the first surface 134, and the surface of the pole 130 away from the electrode assembly 120 is the second surface 135. It should be noted that, in an embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 , when the riveting part 132 is arranged inside the shell 110 and the limiting part 133 is arranged outside the shell 110, at this time, the first surface 134 refers to the combination of the surface of the riveting part 132 facing the electrode assembly 120 and the surface of the columnar part 131 facing the electrode assembly 120, and the second surface 135 refers to the combination of the surface of the limiting part 133 away from the electrode assembly 120 and the surface of the columnar part 131 away from the electrode assembly 120. In another embodiment, when the riveting part 132 is arranged outside the shell 110 and the limiting part 133 is arranged inside the shell 110, at this time, the first surface 134 refers to the combination of the surface of the limiting part 133 facing the electrode assembly 120 and the surface of the columnar part 131 facing the electrode assembly 120, and the second surface 135 refers to the combination of the surface of the riveting part 132 away from the electrode assembly 120 and the surface of the columnar part 131 away from the electrode assembly 120.
[0047] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the surface of the limiting part 133 facing the end wall 111, the surface of the riveting part 132 facing the end wall 111, and the outer surface of the columnar part 131 are all provided with a high-temperature-resistant insulating layer 150 (as shown by the black thick line in Figure 5 and Figure 6 ). The first surface 134 and the second surface 135 are not provided with the high-temperature-resistant insulating layer 150. For the convenience of description, the surface of the limiting part 133 facing the end wall 111 is marked as the first insulating surface 136, the surface of the riveting part 132 facing the end wall 111 is marked as the second insulating surface 137, the outer surface of the columnar part 131 is marked as the third insulating surface 138, and the area of the second surface 135 welded to the current collecting member 140 is marked as the welding surface 139.
[0048] It should be noted that the high-temperature-resistant insulation layer 150 in the utility model refers to an insulation layer with a high-temperature resistance of 600 DEG C or above. The high-temperature-resistant insulation layer 150 can be a coating structure formed by coating a high-temperature-resistant insulation material on the surface of the pole 130, such as a ceramic coating, an epoxy resin layer, etc. The high-temperature-resistant insulation layer 150 can also be an oxide insulation layer formed by anodizing the surface of the pole 130, etc. For the convenience of description, in the following examples, the high-temperature-resistant insulation layer 150 is taken as a coating structure coated on the surface of the pole 130 for detailed description.
[0049] In the embodiment, the high-temperature-resistant insulation layer 150 is arranged on the surface of the limiting portion 133 facing the end wall 111, the surface of the riveting portion 132 facing the end wall 111 and the outer surface of the columnar portion 131, so that the high-temperature-resistant insulation layer 150 can better cover the position where the pole 130 can contact the end wall 111. When thermal runaway occurs in the parallel use of multiple secondary batteries 100, even if the insulation member between the pole 130 and the end wall 111 fails due to high temperature, the high-temperature-resistant insulation layer 150 can continue to play an insulation role between the pole 130 and the end wall 111, so that the probability of insulation failure between the pole 130 of the parallel secondary battery 100 and the shell 110 during thermal runaway can be reduced, thereby reducing the risk of secondary short circuit between adjacent secondary batteries 100. At the same time, since the first surface 134 and the second surface 135 are not provided with the high-temperature-resistant insulation layer 150, the weldability between the pole 130 and the current collecting member 140 inside the shell 110 and the electrical connecting member outside the shell 110 can be ensured, and the welding quality at the corresponding position can be ensured.
[0050] Please refer to Figures 4 to 6In the secondary battery 100 example of the utility model, the limiting portion 133 is arranged outside the shell 110, and the riveting portion 132 is arranged inside the shell 110. The outer periphery of the riveting portion 132 comprises a first side surface 1321, and the first side surface 1321 connects the first surface 134 and the surface of the riveting portion 132 facing the end wall 111, that is, the first side surface 1321 connects the first surface 134 and the second insulating surface 137. The part of the first side surface 1321 close to the end wall 111 is coated with a high-temperature-resistant insulating layer 150, that is, the part of the first side surface 1321 close to the second insulating surface 137 is coated with a high-temperature-resistant insulating layer 150. The first side surface 1321 can be a cylindrical surface structure arranged perpendicularly to the second insulating surface 137, or can be a frustum surface structure arranged obliquely to the second insulating surface 137, etc. Since the riveting portion 132 deforms and generates metal flow under the riveting force during the riveting deformation process, the part of the first side surface 1321 close to the second insulating surface 137 is converted into part of the second insulating surface 137. In order to ensure the insulation effect between the riveting portion 132 and the end wall 111, it is necessary to ensure that the position of the second insulating surface 137 is completely coated with the high-temperature-resistant insulating layer 150. In the embodiment, since the part of the first side surface 1321 close to the end wall 111 is coated with the high-temperature-resistant insulating layer 150, when the outer periphery of the riveting portion 132 deforms and generates metal flow under the riveting force, it can also be ensured that the surface of the riveting portion 132 facing the end wall 111 side is coated with the high-temperature-resistant insulating layer 150, thereby further ensuring the insulation effect between the riveting portion 132 and the end wall 111.
[0051] On the basis of the last embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6In the secondary battery 100 example of the utility model, riveting portion 132 one side surface facing electrode assembly 120 is not provided with high temperature resistant insulating layer 150 along the thickness direction of end wall 111. It needs to be explained that the one side surface of riveting portion 132 facing electrode assembly 120 can be the combined structure of multi-segment arc surface, can also be the combined structure of inclined plane and arc surface, etc., and the specific structure is related to riveting force and riveting strength in riveting process. In order to facilitate the description, the one side surface of riveting portion 132 facing electrode assembly 120 is marked as third surface 1322. Along the radial direction of end wall 111, one end of third surface 1322 and the outer periphery of the surface of first columnar portion 131 towards electrode assembly 120 side are connected, and the other end of third surface 1322 and first side surface 1321 are connected. Since the probability of third surface 1322 contacting end wall 111 is small when thermal runaway occurs, high temperature resistant insulating layer 150 is not provided on the one side surface of riveting portion 132 facing electrode assembly 120 (i.e. on third surface 1322), which will not affect the insulation effect between pole column 130 and end wall 111, and at the same time, the coating area of high temperature resistant insulating layer 150 on pole column 130 can be saved, which plays a role in reducing the cost of coating.
[0052] On the basis that limiting portion 133 is arranged outside shell 110, optionally, please refer to Figure 5 And Figure 6 In the secondary battery 100 example of the utility model, the outer periphery of limiting portion 133 includes second side surface 1331, second side surface 1331 is connected with the surface of limiting portion 133 facing end wall 111, that is, second side surface 1331 is connected with first insulating surface 136, and second side surface 1331 is provided with high temperature resistant insulating layer 150. The secondary battery 100 further comprises sealing element 160, the sealing element 160 is arranged around the outer periphery of columnar portion 131, and is clamped between limiting portion 133 and end wall 111. Sealing element 160 is in a compressed state, and the compression rate of sealing element 160 is greater than 40%. The outer periphery of sealing element 160 does not exceed the outer periphery of limiting portion 133, that is, the whole sealing element 160 is clamped between limiting portion 133 and the wall body of end wall 111 away from electrode assembly 120. Along the radial direction of end wall 111, the minimum distance L between the outer periphery of limiting portion 133 and the outer periphery of sealing element 160 is less than or equal to 0.5mm.
[0053] In the embodiment, the outer periphery of the limiting portion 133 is provided with the high-temperature-resistant insulating layer 150, and thus a good insulation effect can be formed between the outer periphery of the limiting portion 133 and the end wall 111. Therefore, no other additional insulating member, such as the upper plastic 190, needs to be arranged between the outer periphery of the limiting portion 133 and the end wall 111. Only the sealing member 160 needs to be arranged between the limiting portion 133 and the end wall 111. In this way, the number of mounting parts can be saved, the assembly height between the pole 130 and the end wall 111 can be reduced, and the height of the pole 130 protruding outside the shell 110 can be reduced. At the same time, the compression rate of the sealing member 160 is greater than 40%. In this way, the sealing performance of the sealing member 160 can be effectively ensured, and the probability of electrolyte leakage at the mounting position of the pole 130 can be reduced. In addition, the outer periphery of the sealing member 160 does not exceed the outer periphery of the limiting portion 133. In this way, the consistency of the appearance of the secondary battery 100 can be ensured. In addition, the minimum distance between the outer periphery of the limiting portion 133 and the outer periphery of the sealing member 160 is less than or equal to 0.5 mm. Therefore, the effective sealing area of the sealing member 160 between the limiting portion 133 and the end wall 111 can be increased, and the sealing performance of the sealing member 160 can be improved.
[0054] Optionally, referring to FIG. 1, in a case where the riveting portion 132 is arranged inside the shell 110, Figure 4 and Figure 6 In an example of the secondary battery 100, the secondary battery 100 further includes a lower plastic 170. The lower plastic 170 is arranged on the side of the end wall 111 facing the electrode assembly 120, and surrounds the outer periphery of the columnar portion 131. The material of the lower plastic 170 is not limited. For example, the lower plastic 170 can be an engineering plastic, such as soluble perfluoroalkoxy (PFA), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), liquid crystal polymer (LCP), PP, polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polycarbonate (PC), or an insulating rubber member. In the radial direction of the end wall 111, at least part of the lower plastic 170 extends between the riveting portion 132 and the end wall 111. At least another part of the lower plastic 170 extends towards the outer periphery of the end wall 111 to insulate the electrode assembly 120 and the end wall 111. The thickness of the part of the lower plastic 170 between the riveting portion 132 and the end wall 111 is 0.5-1.5 mm, for example, 0.5 mm, 1.0 mm, or 1.5 mm.
[0055] Since the side of the riveting portion 132 facing the end wall 111 is coated with the high-temperature-resistant insulating layer 150, only the high-temperature-resistant insulating layer 150 is needed to play an insulating role between the end wall 111 and the riveting portion 132, so the thickness of the lower plastic 170 arranged between the end wall 111 and the riveting portion 132 can be reduced. However, if the thickness of the lower plastic 170 between the end wall 111 and the riveting portion 132 is too small, the riveting sealing performance between the riveting portion 132 and the end wall 111 will be affected. In the embodiment, the thickness of the part of the lower plastic 170 between the riveting portion 132 and the end wall 111 is set to be between 0.5 mm and 1.5 mm, which can not only meet the requirement of reducing the thickness of the lower plastic 170 between the end wall 111 and the riveting portion 132, but also reduce the material consumption of the lower plastic 170 and the production cost of the lower plastic 170, and ensure the riveting sealing performance between the riveting portion 132 and the end wall 111.
[0056] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 In an example of the secondary battery 100 of the utility model, the limiting portion 133 is arranged inside the shell 110, and the riveting portion 132 is arranged outside the shell 110. The sealing member 160 is arranged around the outer periphery of the columnar portion 131, and the sealing member 160 is clamped between the limiting portion 133 and the wall body on the side of the end wall 111 facing the electrode assembly 120. The sealing member 160 can be coaxially arranged with the columnar portion 131 or can be arranged in a non-coaxial manner. The sealing member 160 can be in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the columnar portion 131 or can not be in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the columnar portion 131. Optionally, in the embodiment, the sealing member 160 is coaxially arranged with the columnar portion 131, and the inner annular surface of the sealing member 160 is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the columnar portion 131 to form a better sealing connection between the sealing member 160 and the columnar portion 131. The lower plastic 170 is arranged around the outer periphery of the sealing member 160, at least part of the lower plastic 170 extends between the outer edge of the limiting portion 133 and the end wall 111, and another part of the lower plastic 170 extends towards the outer periphery of the end wall 111 to isolate the end wall 111 and the electrode assembly 120. The projection of the lower plastic 170 on the end wall 111 does not overlap the projection of the sealing member 160 on the end wall 111, that is, there is a gap 171 between the inner edge of the lower plastic 170 and the outer edge of the sealing member 160.
[0057] It should be noted that, in the embodiment, other insulating members can be arranged between the riveting portion 132 and the end wall 111, or only the high-temperature-resistant insulating layer 150 coated on the riveting portion 132 can be used for insulation. Preferably, in the embodiment, in order to further improve the positioning stability between the pole 130 and the end wall 111, the upper plastic 190 is further arranged between the riveting portion 132 and the end wall 111. The riveting portion 132 abuts against the end wall 111 through the upper plastic 190.
[0058] Since the limiting portion 133 is coated with a high-temperature-resistant insulating layer 150 towards the side surface of the end wall 111 (i.e. the first insulating surface 136), the insulation between the limiting portion 133 and the end wall 111 can be achieved only by the high-temperature-resistant insulating layer 150. Therefore, when there is a gap 171 between the inner edge of the lower plastic 170 and the outer edge of the sealing member 160, the insulation effect between the limiting portion 133 and the end wall 111 will not be affected. The provision of the gap 171 between the inner edge of the lower plastic 170 and the outer edge of the sealing member 160, on the one hand, can not only reserve a certain radial compression space for the sealing member 160, but also ensure that the sealing member 160 can be fully compressed, thereby ensuring the sealing performance of the sealing member 160. On the other hand, it can also reduce the area of the lower plastic 170 extending between the limiting portion 133 and the end wall 111, thereby reducing the material usage of the lower plastic 170 and reducing the production cost of the lower plastic 170.
[0059] On the basis of the above embodiment, in order to improve the assembly performance of the lower plastic 170 inside the shell 110, please refer to Figure 7 In an example of the secondary battery 100 of the utility model, the outer diameter of the limiting portion 133 is D1, the inner diameter of the lower plastic 170 is D2, the outer diameter of the lower plastic 170 is D3, and the inner diameter of the shell 110 is D4, and D1-D2>D4-D3. In this way, even if there is a large radial installation error between the lower plastic 170 and the limiting portion 133, the inner edge of the lower plastic 170 can still be clamped between the limiting portion 133 and the end wall 111, thereby ensuring the fixed connection between the lower plastic 170 and the end wall 111 and reducing the probability of connection failure between the lower plastic 170 and the end wall 111.
[0060] Please refer to Figure 5In the secondary battery 100 example of the utility model, the thickness range of high temperature resistant insulation layer 150 is 0.001~0.5mm. For example, it can be 0.001mm, 0.1mm, 0.25mm or 0.5mm etc. When the coating thickness of high temperature resistant insulation layer 150 is too thin, the insulation effect that high temperature resistant insulation layer 150 can produce is lower, and the adhesion strength between high temperature resistant insulation layer 150 and the surface of pole 130 is also weak, when riveting installation of pole 130, high temperature resistant insulation layer 150 is easy to peel off from the surface of pole 130, and then insulation failure is produced. When the coating thickness of high temperature resistant insulation layer 150 is too thick, high temperature resistant insulation layer 150 is redundant too much, not only will increase the production cost of high temperature resistant insulation layer 150, but also will cause the excessive increase of the overall quality of secondary battery 100, is not favorable for the quality energy density promotion of secondary battery 100. In the embodiment, by limiting the thickness of high temperature resistant insulation layer 150 between 0.001~0.5mm, not only can meet the insulation performance requirement of high temperature resistant insulation layer 150, meet the adhesion force size requirement between high temperature resistant insulation layer 150 and the surface of pole 130, reduce the risk of high temperature resistant insulation layer 150 from the surface of pole 130, ensure the stability of the insulation performance of high temperature resistant insulation layer 150, but also can reduce the production cost of high temperature resistant insulation layer 150, reduce the influence on the overall quality of secondary battery 100.
[0061] Please refer to Figure 5 And Figure 6 In the secondary battery 100 example of the utility model, the sealing piece 160 is clamped between the limiting portion 133 and the end wall 111, and the sealing piece 160 is arranged around the outer periphery of the columnar portion 131. A first fillet 1311 is arranged between the columnar portion 131 and the limiting portion 133, and the surface of the limiting portion 133 facing the end wall 111 (i.e., the first insulation surface 136) is connected to the outer surface of the columnar portion 131 (i.e., the third insulation surface 138) through the first fillet 1311. The inner edge of the sealing piece 160 is sealed and abuts against the outer surface of the columnar portion 131 and the first fillet 1311. The radius of the first fillet 1311 is R1, and 0.5mm≤R1≤2mm. It should be noted that when the limiting portion 133 is located outside the shell 110, the first fillet 1311 can be arranged between the columnar portion 131 and the limiting portion 133. When the limiting portion 133 is located inside the shell 110, the first fillet 1311 can also be arranged between the columnar portion 131 and the limiting portion 133.
[0062] By limiting the radius of the first fillet 1311 to 0.5mm≤R1≤2mm, the radius R1 of the first fillet 1311 can be prevented from being too small, thereby facilitating the setting of the high-temperature-resistant insulation layer 150 at the position of the first fillet 1311, ensuring the uniformity and integrity of the high-temperature-resistant insulation layer 150 coating, thereby ensuring the insulation effect at the position of the first fillet 1311, and further improving the insulation effect between the pole 130 and the end wall 111. At the same time, if the radius of the first fillet 1311 is too large, it will cause a large size interference with the inner edge of the sealing element 160, which will to some extent increase the compression unevenness of the sealing element 160 at the first fillet 1311, thereby reducing the sealing performance of the inner edge of the sealing element 160. In the embodiment, by limiting the radius of the first fillet 1311 to 0.5mm≤R1≤2mm, the radius of the first fillet 1311 can be effectively limited to be too large, thereby better ensuring the sealing performance of the sealing element 160.
[0063] Optionally, referring to Figure 5 In an example of the secondary battery 100 of the utility model, a second fillet 1312 is arranged between the columnar portion 131 and the riveting portion 132, the surface of the riveting portion 132 facing the end wall 111 (i.e. the second insulation surface 137) and the outer surface of the columnar portion 131 (i.e. the third insulation surface 138) are connected through the second fillet 1312, the radius of the second fillet 1312 is R2, and R2≥1mm. It should be noted that when the riveting portion 132 is located outside the shell 110, the second fillet 1312 can be arranged between the columnar portion 131 and the riveting portion 132. When the riveting portion 132 is located inside the shell 110, the second fillet 1312 can also be arranged between the columnar portion 131 and the riveting portion 132. Since the high-temperature-resistant insulation layer 150 is coated on the surface of the pole 130 before the riveting portion 132 is flanged, the high-temperature-resistant insulation layer 150 at the corresponding position will be subjected to a certain extrusion deformation stress during the flanging and deformation of the riveting portion 132, thereby affecting the adhesion between the high-temperature-resistant insulation layer 150 and the riveting portion 132. By limiting the radius R2 of the second fillet 1312 to R2≥1mm in the embodiment, the extrusion deformation stress of the high-temperature-resistant insulation layer 150 at the corresponding position during the flanging and deformation of the riveting portion 132 can be reduced, thereby reducing the probability of rupture and falling of the high-temperature-resistant insulation layer 150, to further ensure the insulation effect between the pole 130 and the end wall 111.
[0064] Optionally, referring to Figure 5In the secondary battery 100 example of the utility model, the high temperature resistant insulation layer 150 is coated on the surface of the pole 130, the surface roughness Ra of the pole 130 corresponding to the region where the high temperature resistant insulation layer 150 is coated is 0.005-0.007mm, for example, Ra can be 0.005mm, 0.006mm or 0.007mm etc., and the surface roughness Rz of the pole 130 corresponding to the region where the high temperature resistant insulation layer 150 is coated is 0.015-0.045mm, for example, Rz can be 0.015mm, 0.030mm or 0.045mm etc. By setting the surface roughness Ra of the pole 130 corresponding to the region where the high temperature resistant insulation layer 150 is coated to 0.005-0.007mm, and the surface roughness Rz to 0.015-0.045mm, the high temperature resistant insulation layer 150 can have a better adhesion depth on the surface of the pole 130, so as to ensure that the high temperature resistant insulation layer 150 and the surface of the pole 130 have good adhesion, thereby reducing the probability of the high temperature resistant insulation layer 150 falling off from the surface of the pole 130 during the assembly and use of the pole 130, and further reducing the probability of insulation failure between the pole 130 and the shell 110.
[0065] Please refer to Figure 9 In the battery pack 200 example of the utility model, the battery pack 200 comprises a box body 210 and at least one secondary battery 100; the box body 210 comprises a first box body part 211 and a second box body part 212, the first box body part 211 and the second box body part 212 are mutually covered to form an accommodating space, a plurality of secondary batteries 100 are accommodated in the accommodating space, and the plurality of secondary batteries 100 can be connected in series and / or parallel. The battery pack 200 can be a battery module, a battery pack, etc.
[0066] Please refer to Figure 10In an example of the electronic device 300, the electronic device 300 includes a working part 310 and a battery pack 200, and the working part 310 is electrically connected with the battery pack 200 to obtain power support. The working part 310 can be a unit component capable of obtaining the power of the battery pack 200 and making corresponding work, such as a fan blade rotating unit, a dust suction working unit of a dust collector, a wheel driving unit in an electric vehicle, and the like. The electronic device 300 can be a vehicle, a mobile phone, a portable device, a notebook computer, a ship, a spacecraft, an electric toy, an electric tool, and the like. The vehicle can be a fuel automobile, a gas automobile, or a new energy automobile, and the new energy automobile can be a pure electric automobile, a hybrid electric automobile, or a range extended automobile, and the like. The spacecraft includes an airplane, a rocket, a space shuttle, a spacecraft, and the like. The electric toy includes a fixed or mobile electric toy, such as a game machine, an electric automobile toy, an electric ship toy, an electric airplane toy, and the like. The electric tool includes a metal cutting electric tool, a grinding electric tool, an assembling electric tool, and a railway electric tool, such as an electric drill, an electric grinder, an electric wrench, an electric screwdriver, an electric hammer, an impact electric drill, a concrete vibrator, and an electric planer, and the like. The electronic device 300 is not specially limited in the embodiment of the present application. In an example of the electronic device 300, the electronic device 300 is a vehicle, the working part 310 is a vehicle body, and the battery pack 200 is fixedly installed on the vehicle body, thereby providing driving force for the vehicle and realizing the running of the vehicle.
[0067] The secondary battery has the high-temperature-resistant insulation layer arranged on the surface of the limiting part facing the end wall, the surface of the riveting part facing the end wall, and the outer surface of the columnar part, so that when the multiple secondary batteries are used in parallel and thermal runaway occurs, even if the insulation part between the pole and the end wall fails due to high temperature, the high-temperature-resistant insulation layer can continue to play an insulation role between the pole and the end wall, so that the probability of insulation failure between the pole of the parallel secondary battery and the shell during thermal runaway can be reduced, and the risk of secondary short circuit between adjacent secondary batteries can be reduced. At the same time, since the first surface and the second surface are not provided with the high-temperature-resistant insulation layer, the weldability between the pole and the current collecting member inside the shell and the electrical connecting member outside the shell can be ensured, and the welding quality at the corresponding position can be ensured.
