[0041] It should be noted that the thickness direction x is the direction indicated by x in Figure 3 and Figure 1 , and the width direction y is the direction indicated by y in Figure 1 .

[0042] In the protection assembly of the present application, since the hard plate 100 is provided with the groove 110 recessed along the thickness direction x, the soft plate 300 can be partially placed in the groove 110 to reduce the thickness of the protection assembly after the soft plate 300 is connected with the hard plate 100. When the soft plate 300 is connected with the hard plate 100, the first connecting structure 210 of the connecting piece 200 is welded with the groove wall of the groove 110 along the width direction y, the soft plate 300 is pressed on the first connecting structure 210, and the second connecting structure 220 is bent relative to the first connecting structure 210 towards the soft plate 300 and is pressed on the side of the soft plate 300 away from the first connecting structure 210. Therefore, the soft plate 300 can be clamped and fixed by the first connecting structure 210 and the second connecting structure 220, so that the soft plate 300 is connected with the hard plate 100 by the connecting piece 200. This connection method can not only improve the connection stability between the soft plate 300 and the hard plate 100, but also reduce the influence on the thickness of the protection assembly, thereby reducing the influence on the thickness of the battery.

[0047] Specifically, the protection assembly also has a length direction z, which intersects with the width direction y and the thickness direction x, and the length direction z is Figure 2 and Figure 5 The direction z refers to the direction that the hard plate 100 is provided with a plurality of connecting pieces 200 at both ends along the width direction y, and the plurality of connecting pieces 200 at both ends of the soft plate 300 along the width direction y are arranged along the length direction z, thereby further improving the connection stability between the soft plate 300 and the hard plate 100.

[0048] Referring to Figure 3As shown, the second connecting structure 220 has a pressing portion 221 and a limiting portion 222, one end of the limiting portion 222 is connected with the pressing portion 221, the other end of the limiting portion 222 is connected with the first connecting structure 210, the pressing portion 221 is pressed on the side of the soft plate 300 away from the first connecting structure 210 along the thickness direction x, and the limiting portions 222 symmetrically arranged along the width direction y are respectively abutted with the two ends of the soft plate 300 along the width direction y.

[0049] In the embodiment, the pressing portion 221 is pressed on the side of the soft plate 300 away from the first connecting structure 210 along the thickness direction x to realize the fixed connection between the soft plate 300 and the hard plate 100, and the limiting portions 222 symmetrically arranged along the width direction y are respectively abutted with the two ends of the soft plate 300 along the width direction y, so that the displacement of the soft plate 300 along the width direction y is limited by the limiting portions 222, avoiding the displacement of the soft plate 300 along the width direction y when the pressing portion 221 is pressed on the soft plate 300, thereby improving the accuracy of the positional relationship between the soft plate 300 and the hard plate 100 during the connection process.

[0053] In the embodiment, if the length L3 of the limiting portion 222 along the thickness direction x and the thickness L2 of the soft plate 300 along the thickness direction x satisfy L3≤L2, when the second connecting structure 220 is bent relative to the first connecting structure 210 towards the soft plate 300, the limiting portion 222 cannot cover the end of the soft plate 300 along the width direction y, and the pressing portion 221 cannot cover the side of the soft plate 300 along the thickness direction x away from the first connecting structure 210, so that the stability of the connection between the connecting piece 200 and the soft plate 300 is reduced, and further the stability of the connection between the soft plate 300 and the hard plate 100 is reduced. If the length L3 of the limiting portion 222 along the thickness direction x and the thickness L2 of the soft plate 300 along the thickness direction x satisfy L3>L2, when the second connecting structure 220 is bent relative to the first connecting structure 210 towards the soft plate 300, the limiting portion 222 can cover the end of the soft plate 300 along the width direction y, and the pressing portion 221 can cover the side of the soft plate 300 along the thickness direction x away from the first connecting structure 210, so that the connecting piece 200 forms a clamping and fixing state to the soft plate 300, and the stability of the connection between the connecting piece 200 and the soft plate 300 is improved, and further the stability of the connection between the soft plate 300 and the hard plate 100 is improved.

[0054] With continued reference to Figure 5 As shown in FIG. 2, the connecting piece 200 further has a protruding structure 230, which is arranged on the second connecting structure 220 and protrudes from the second connecting structure 220, and the protruding structure 230 is located on the pressing surface of the second connecting structure 220 and the soft plate 300, and is pressed on the soft plate 300.

[0056] With continued reference to ​ As shown in FIG. 2, the protruding structure 230 has a plurality of protruding structures 230, which are distributed on the pressing surface of the second connecting structure 220 and the soft plate 300 along the width direction y, and are pressed on the soft plate 300.

[0057] In the embodiment, since the plurality of protruding structures 230 are distributed on the pressing surface of the second connecting structure 220 and the soft plate 300 in the width direction y, the roughness of the pressing surface of the second connecting structure 220 and the soft plate 300 can be increased by the plurality of protruding structures 230. When the second connecting structure 220 and the soft plate 300 are pressed, the higher the roughness of the pressing surface, the greater the mutual traction between the second connecting structure 220 and the soft plate 300, and the higher the stability of the connecting structure between the second connecting structure 220 and the soft plate 300, and the higher the stability of the connecting structure between the hard plate 100 and the soft plate 300.

[0058] Specifically, in the embodiment, the protection assembly further includes an adhesive layer, and the second connecting structure 220 and the soft plate 300 are bonded by the adhesive layer.
