[0039] For the convenience of assembly, a plurality of battery monomers 12 can be but not limited to bound together.

[0040] The discharge wire 2 and the charging voltage sampling wire 3 are connected to the top of the battery pack body 1, wherein the center of the discharge wire 2 and the charging voltage sampling wire 3 is a wire core, and the outer periphery is covered with an insulating rubber layer. A section of the wire core at the end of each discharge wire 2 and each charging voltage sampling wire 3 connected to the battery pack body 1 is exposed, and a copper sheet 6 is pre-riveted at the end of each exposed wire core, respectively. When connecting each discharge wire 2 and each charging voltage sampling wire 3 to each tab 11 of the battery pack body 1, specifically, each copper sheet 6 is electrically connected to each tab 11 by laser welding or spot welding or ultrasonic welding or other precise and efficient welding process. Among them, but not limited to, each copper sheet 6 is placed face to face with the corresponding tab (or the metal sheet attached to the tab), and the welding between each discharge wire 2 and each charging voltage sampling wire 3 and the tab 11 of the battery pack body 1 is realized by precise and efficient welding process such as laser welding or spot welding or ultrasonic welding.

[0041] The existing technology of soldering the discharge wire 2 with a soldering iron and the technical solution of the discharge wire 2, the high temperature of the existing technology of soldering with a soldering iron will be conducted to the battery cell, which will damage the electrolyte in the battery cell, and the existing technology will damage the battery cell. Compared with the prior art, the present embodiment pre-rivets a copper sheet 6 at the end of each discharge wire 2 and charging voltage sampling wire 3, and then the copper sheet 6 is attached to the corresponding tab of the battery, and the heat is prevented from spreading to the inside of the battery cell by precise welding, which ensures the product quality. The battery pack structure of the present embodiment is easy to realize by automatic equipment through riveting, laser welding and other processes, which is conducive to improving the production efficiency.

[0042] As an example of the present embodiment, each copper sheet 6 of the present embodiment includes a riveting part 61 and a copper sheet body 62, which are preferably integrally formed. The riveting part 61 is a part that can be deformed by riveting, which is used to rivet the exposed wire core at the end of each discharge (or charging voltage sampling wire 3) connected thereto, such as but not limited to placing the exposed wire core on the top surface of the original riveting part 61, and a bent edge is further provided on both sides of the original riveting part 61.
