This arrangement facilitates the fixing of the pressure detection module 10 to the surface of the lithium battery using the adhesive ring 1004. When the lithium battery begins to thermally runaway, a bulging phenomenon occurs. At this time, the top of the bulge touches the pressure sensing patch 1003, generating a continuously increasing pressure on the pressure sensing patch 1003. The pressure sensing patch 1003 feeds back the pressure information to the pressure sensor 1001 for processing, thereby monitoring the bulging condition of the lithium battery surface in real time.
