[0115] At present, from the development of market situation, the application of batteries is more and more extensive.

With the continuous expansion of the application field of batteries, the demand of its market is also increasing.
[0116] The development of battery technology needs to consider various design factors, such as energy density, discharge capacity, charge-discharge rate, and other performance parameters. In addition, the service life of the battery also needs to be considered. However, the service life of the current battery is relatively short.
[0117] During use, gas may be generated inside the battery cell, causing the internal pressure of the battery cell to change, causing the wall of the battery cell for pressure relief to deform, and over time, the wall is prone to being damaged due to fatigue, affecting the service life of the battery cell.

In addition, the weak portion is annular, the reinforcing portion is annular, and the weak portion is arranged on the outer side of the reinforcing portion. On the one hand, the reinforcing portion has a relatively close strengthening effect on each position of the weak portion, so that the weak portion is more easily completely damaged when the battery cell is relieved of pressure, so that the area of the wall inside the weak portion is easily completely separated from the wall, a larger opening is opened, and the discharge of the battery cell can be quickly relieved through the opening, which is beneficial to improving the timeliness of the pressure relief of the battery cell. On the other hand, when the area of the wall inside the reinforcing portion is deformed under stress, the reinforcing portion can play a buffering role, reducing the stress conducted to the weak portion, thereby reducing the risk of the battery cell opening the valve in advance, and being beneficial to improving the service life and reliability of the battery cell.

[0132] The end cover 212 refers to a component that covers the opening of the shell 211 to isolate the internal environment of the battery cell 20 from the external environment. Without limitation, the shape of the end cover 212 can be adapted to the shape of the shell 211 to fit the shell 211. Alternatively, the end cover 212 can be made of a material with certain hardness and strength (such as aluminum alloy), so that the end cover 212 is not easily deformed when subjected to extrusion and collision, so that the battery cell 20 can have higher structural strength and safety performance can also be improved. The material of the end cover 212 can also be various, such as copper, iron, aluminum, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, plastic, etc., which are not specially limited in the embodiments of the present application.
[0133] The shell 211 is a component for fitting the end cover 212 to form an internal environment of the battery cell 20, and the formed internal environment can be used to accommodate the electrode assembly 23, the electrolyte, and other components. The shell 211 and the end cover 212 can be independent components, and an opening can be provided on the shell 211, and the end cover 212 is fitted to cover the opening to form the internal environment of the battery cell 20. Without limitation, the end cover 212 and the shell 211 can also be integrated, and specifically, the end cover 212 and the shell 211 can form a common joint surface before other components are put into the shell, and when it is necessary to seal the internal environment of the shell 211, the end cover 212 is fitted to cover the shell 211. The shell 211 can be various shapes and sizes, such as a cuboid, a hexagonal prism, and the like. Specifically, the shape of the shell 211 can be determined according to the specific shape and size of the electrode assembly 23. The material of the shell 211 can include, but is not limited to, copper, iron, aluminum, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, plastic, and the like.
[0134] In some embodiments, the shell 211 can be formed with an opening at only one end, and the end cover 212 is correspondingly provided at one end. In other embodiments, the shell 211 can be formed with an opening at both ends, and the end cover 212 is correspondingly provided at two ends, and the two end covers 212 respectively seal the two opposite openings of the shell 211. Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the embodiment shown in the drawings, the shell 211 is formed with an opening at only one end, and the end cover 212 is correspondingly provided at one end.

The electrode terminal 24 can be directly connected with the tab, such as being directly welded with the tab. The electrode terminal 24 can also be indirectly connected with the tab, such as being indirectly connected with the tab through the current collecting member 25.
[0136] The electrode assembly 23 is a component in which an electrochemical reaction occurs in the battery cell 20. One or more electrode assemblies 23 can be contained in the shell 211. The electrode assembly 23 is mainly formed by winding or stacking the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet, and an insulating member is usually provided between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet. The positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet have a portion of active material constituting the main body of the electrode assembly 23, and a portion of the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet not having the active material each constitutes a tab. The positive tab and the negative tab can be located at one end of the main body or at two ends of the main body, respectively. In the charging and discharging process of the battery cell 20, the positive active material and the negative active material react with the electrolyte.
[0137] The wall portion 213 can be the end cover 212 of the shell 21, or a wall of the shell 211 of the shell 21. In some embodiments, the wall portion 213 is a wall of the shell 211 of the shell 21. Figure 3 andFigure 4 In some embodiments, the wall portion 213 is the end cover 212. In other embodiments, the wall portion 213 can be a second bottom wall 2112 of the housing 211 opposite to the end cover 212. In yet other embodiments, the wall portion 213 can also be a second side wall 2111 of the housing 211 adjacent to and connected with the end cover 212.
[0138] The wall portion 213 has a weakened portion 2131 which functions as a pressure relief, for enabling the wall portion 213 to split along the weakened portion 2131 to release the pressure inside the battery cell 20 when the internal pressure or temperature of the battery cell 20 reaches a predetermined value. In some embodiments, the strength of the wall portion 213 at the position of the weakened portion 2131 can be lower than the strength of the wall portion 213 at other positions, so that the weakened portion 2131 can split under the action of the internal pressure to release the pressure inside the battery cell 20 when the internal pressure or temperature of the battery cell 20 reaches the predetermined value. In other embodiments, the melting point of the wall portion 213 at the position of the weakened portion 2131 can be lower than the melting point of the wall portion 213 at other positions. In this way, the weakened portion 2131 can split under the action of high temperature to release the pressure inside the battery cell 20 when the internal pressure or temperature of the battery cell 20 reaches the predetermined value.
[0139] The weakened portion 2131 is annular, i.e. the weakened portion 2131 is a closed structure extending along a closed trajectory. For example, the weakened portion 2131 can be in the shape of a circular ring, an elliptical ring, a racetrack, etc.
[0140] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The thickness direction of the wall portion 213 is the X direction shown in the figure.
[0141] The first surface 21311 can be a surface of the wall portion 213 facing the inside of the housing 21 in the thickness direction thereof, or a surface of the wall portion 213 facing away from the inside of the housing 21 in the thickness direction thereof. The first surface 21311 can be a surface of the wall portion 213 closest to the inside of the housing 21 in the thickness direction thereof, or a surface of the wall portion 213 farthest from the inside of the housing 21 in the thickness direction thereof, or a surface of the wall portion 213 between the surface closest to the inside of the housing 21 and the surface farthest from the inside of the housing 21 in the thickness direction thereof. Taking the wall portion 213 as a flat plate structure for example, the wall portion 213 has opposite inner and outer surfaces in the thickness direction thereof, the inner surface faces the inside of the housing 21 in the thickness direction of the wall portion 213, and the first surface 21311 can be the inner surface of the wall portion 213 or the outer surface of the wall portion 213.
[0142] The reinforcing portion 22 is a portion protruding from the first surface 21311 of the wall portion 213 and reinforcing the wall portion 213. The reinforcing portion 22 can improve the rigidity of the wall portion 213 and enhance the deformation resistance of the wall portion 213, thereby improving the deformation resistance of the entire wall portion 213. The reinforcing portion 22 has a ring shape. The reinforcing portion 22 can have a closed structure extending along a closed trajectory, for example, a circular ring shape, an elliptical ring shape, a racetrack shape, etc. Alternatively, the reinforcing portion 22 can have a non-closed structure with a gap at both ends, for example, a 180° circular arc shape, a 270° circular arc shape, etc. Optionally, the reinforcing portion 22 has the same shape as the weak portion 2131. The reinforcing portion 22 can be integrally formed with the wall portion 213, for example, by stamping the reinforcing portion 22 on the wall portion 213 so that the reinforcing portion 22 is integrally formed with the wall portion 213. Alternatively, the reinforcing portion 22 can be separately provided and connected to the wall portion 213, for example, by welding.
[0143] The weak portion 2131 is arranged around the outside of the reinforcing portion 22, i.e., the weak portion 2131 surrounds the outside of the reinforcing portion 22. In other words, the reinforcing portion 22 is arranged in the region of the wall portion 213 inside the weak portion 2131.
[0144] The first surface 21311 of the wall portion 213 in the thickness direction is provided with the reinforcing portion 22. The reinforcing portion 22 reinforces the wall portion 213, improves the deformation resistance of the wall portion 213, improves the fatigue resistance of the wall portion 213, reduces the risk of the wall portion 213 being damaged due to fatigue, prolongs the service life of the wall portion 213, and thereby prolongs the service life of the battery monomer 20. In addition, the weak portion 2131 has a ring shape, the reinforcing portion 22 has a ring shape, and the weak portion 2131 is arranged around the outside of the reinforcing portion 22. On the one hand, the reinforcing portion 22 has a similar reinforcing effect on each position of the weak portion 2131, so that the weak portion 2131 is more likely to be completely damaged when the battery monomer 20 is depressurized, so that the region of the wall portion 213 inside the weak portion 2131 is easily completely separated from the wall portion 213 to open a large opening, and the discharge in the battery monomer 20 can quickly depressurize through the opening, which is beneficial to improving the timeliness of the battery monomer 20. On the other hand, when the region of the wall portion 213 inside the reinforcing portion 22 is deformed under stress, the reinforcing portion 22 can act as a buffer to reduce the stress transmitted to the weak portion 2131, thereby reducing the risk of the battery monomer 20 opening prematurely, and improving the service life and reliability of the battery monomer 20.
[0145] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7In some embodiments, the distance between the weakened portion 2131 and the reinforcing portion 22 in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the wall portion 213 is L, which satisfies: 1 mm ≤ L ≤ 4 mm.
[0146] L represents the distance between the weakened portion 2131 and the reinforcing portion 22 in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the wall portion 213. For example, when the wall portion 213 has a disc structure, L represents the distance between the weakened portion 2131 and the reinforcing portion 22 in the radial direction of the wall portion 213.
[0147] The distance between the weakened portion 2131 and the reinforcing portion 22 in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the wall portion 213 can be the same at different positions of the weakened portion 2131, for example, the weakened portion 2131 and the reinforcing portion 22 are both circular rings, and the weakened portion 2131 and the reinforcing portion 22 are coaxially arranged. The distance between the weakened portion 2131 and the reinforcing portion 22 in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the wall portion 213 can also be different at different positions of the weakened portion 2131, in which case the minimum distance between the weakened portion 2131 and the reinforcing portion 22 in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the wall portion 213 is greater than or equal to 1 mm, and the maximum distance between the weakened portion 2131 and the reinforcing portion 22 in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the wall portion 213 is less than or equal to 4 mm.
[0148] The distance between the weakened portion 2131 and the reinforcing portion 22 in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the wall portion 213 can be: L = 1 mm, 1.5 mm, 2 mm, 2.5 mm, 3 mm, 3.5 mm, 4 mm, etc.
[0149] When L ≥ 1 mm, the distance between the weakened portion 2131 and the reinforcing portion 22 in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the wall portion 213 is large, so that the reinforcing portion 22 is not easy to affect the weakened portion 2131 when arranged, which is conducive to reducing the risk of early valve opening of the battery monomer 20 and improving the service life and reliability of the battery monomer 20. When L ≤ 4 mm, the distance between the weakened portion 2131 and the reinforcing portion 22 in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the wall portion 213 is not too large, so that the area of the wall portion 213 inside the reinforcing portion 22 is large, thereby enabling the reinforcing portion 22 to play a better buffering role, reducing the risk of early valve opening of the battery monomer 20, and improving the service life and reliability of the battery monomer 20. Therefore, when 1 mm ≤ L ≤ 4 mm, the battery monomer 20 has a longer service life and higher reliability.
[0150] Optionally, 2 mm ≤ L ≤ 3 mm.
[0151] The distance between the weakened portion 2131 and the reinforcing portion 22 in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the wall portion 213 can be: L = 2 mm, 2.1 mm, 2.2 mm, 2.3 mm, 2.4 mm, 2.5 mm, 2.6 mm, 2.7 mm, 2.8 mm, 2.9 mm, 3 mm, etc.
[0152] When L≥2mm, in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the wall portion 213, the distance between the weakened portion 2131 and the reinforcing portion 22 is greater, so that the reinforcing portion 22 is less likely to affect the weakened portion 2131 when arranged, and is more conducive to reducing the risk of the battery monomer 20 prematurely opening the valve, and is conducive to improving the service life and reliability of the battery monomer 20. When L≤3mm, in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the wall portion 213, the distance between the weakened portion 2131 and the reinforcing portion 22 is not too large, so that the area of the wall portion 213 inside the reinforcing portion 22 is larger, thereby enabling the reinforcing portion 22 to play a better buffering role, reducing the risk of the battery monomer 20 prematurely opening the valve, and being conducive to improving the service life and reliability of the battery monomer 20. Therefore, when 2mm≤L≤3mm, the battery monomer 20 has a longer service life and higher reliability.
[0153] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , in some embodiments, in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the wall portion 213, the distance between the weakened portion 2131 and the reinforcing portion 22 is less than the distance from the reinforcing portion 22 to the central axis of the weakened portion 2131.
[0154] The central axis of the weakened portion 2131 is an axis parallel to the thickness direction of the wall portion 213 and passing through the geometric center of the weakened portion 2131. When the weakened portion 2131 is a circular ring, the central axis of the weakened portion 2131 is an axis parallel to the thickness direction of the wall portion 213 and passing through the center of the circular ring. When the weakened portion 2131 is a rectangular ring, the central axis of the weakened portion 2131 is an axis parallel to the thickness direction of the wall portion 213 and passing through the intersection of the diagonals of the rectangle.
[0155] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 for the central axis of the weakened portion 2131 being identified by a dashed line.
[0156] "The distance between the weakened portion 2131 and the reinforcing portion 22 in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the wall portion 213 is less than the distance from the reinforcing portion 22 to the central axis of the weakened portion 2131" means that: in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the wall portion 213, the maximum distance between the weakened portion 2131 and the reinforcing portion 22 is less than the minimum distance from the reinforcing portion 22 to the central axis of the weakened portion 2131, in other words, the reinforcing portion 22 is closer to the weakened portion 2131 than the central axis of the weakened portion 2131.
[0157] In the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the wall portion 213, the distance between the weakened portion 2131 and the reinforcing portion 22 is less than the distance from the reinforcing portion 22 to the central axis of the weakened portion 2131, so that the area of the wall portion 213 inside the reinforcing portion 22 is larger, thereby enabling the reinforcing portion 22 to play a better buffering role, reducing the risk of the battery monomer 20 opening the valve in advance, and being beneficial to improving the service life and reliability of the battery monomer 20.
[0158] Please refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the weakened portion 2131 and the reinforcing portion 22 are both circular rings, and the distance between the axis of the weakened portion 2131 and the axis of the reinforcing portion 22 is less than or equal to 1 mm.
[0159] The distance between the axis of the weakened portion 2131 and the axis of the reinforcing portion 22 being less than or equal to 1 mm can also be understood as the distance between the center line of the weakened portion 2131 and the center line of the reinforcing portion 22 being less than or equal to 1 mm.
[0160] The weakened portion 2131 and the reinforcing portion 22 are both circular rings, and the distance between the axis of the weakened portion 2131 and the axis of the reinforcing portion 22 is less than or equal to 1 mm, so that the weakened portion 2131 and the reinforcing portion 22 are coaxially arranged, so that the reinforcing effect of the reinforcing portion 22 on each position of the weakened portion 2131 is more close, and the stress on each position of the weakened portion 2131 is more uniform when the battery monomer 20 is pressure released, so that the weakened portion 2131 is more easily completely destroyed when the battery monomer 20 is pressure released, so that the area of the wall portion 213 inside the weakened portion 2131 is more easily completely separated from the wall portion 213 to open a larger opening, and the discharge in the battery monomer 20 can be quickly pressure released through the opening, which is beneficial to improving the timeliness of the pressure release of the battery monomer 20.
[0161] Optionally, the axis of the weakened portion 2131 and the axis of the reinforcing portion 22 coincide.
[0162] The weakened portion 2131 and the reinforcing portion 22 are both circular rings, and the axis of the weakened portion 2131 and the axis of the reinforcing portion 22 coincide, so that the weakened portion 2131 and the reinforcing portion 22 are coaxially arranged, so that the reinforcing effect of the reinforcing portion 22 on each position of the weakened portion 2131 is the closest, and the stress on each position of the weakened portion 2131 is more uniform when the battery monomer 20 is pressure released, so that the weakened portion 2131 is more easily completely destroyed when the battery monomer 20 is pressure released, so that the area of the wall portion 213 inside the weakened portion 2131 is more easily completely separated from the wall portion 213 to open a larger opening, and the discharge in the battery monomer 20 can be quickly pressure released through the opening, which is beneficial to improving the timeliness of the pressure release of the battery monomer 20.
[0163] Please refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the wall portion 213 has a second surface 21312 opposite to the first surface 21311, and the wall portion 213 is provided with a first groove 2133 in the form of a ring. The first groove 2133 is recessed from the second surface 21312 in a direction close to the first surface 21311, and forms a reinforcing portion 22 protruding from the first surface 21311 at a position of the wall portion 213 corresponding to the first groove 2133.
[0164] The second surface 21312 is a surface of the wall portion 213 opposite to the first surface 21311. The second surface 21312 can be a surface of the wall portion 213 facing the inside of the shell 21 in the thickness direction thereof, or a surface of the wall portion 213 facing away from the inside of the shell 21 in the thickness direction thereof. When the first surface 21311 is a surface of the wall portion 213 facing the inside of the shell 21 in the thickness direction thereof, the second surface 21312 is a surface of the wall portion 213 facing away from the inside of the shell 21 in the thickness direction thereof.
[0165] The second surface 21312 can be a surface of the wall portion 213 closest to the inside of the shell 21 in the thickness direction thereof, or a surface of the wall portion 213 farthest from the inside of the shell 21 in the thickness direction thereof, or a surface of the wall portion 213 between the surface closest to the inside of the shell 21 in the thickness direction thereof and the surface farthest from the inside of the shell 21 in the thickness direction thereof. Taking the wall portion 213 as a flat plate structure as an example, the wall portion 213 has opposite inner and outer surfaces in the thickness direction thereof, the inner surface faces the inside of the shell 21 in the thickness direction of the wall portion 213, and the second surface 21312 can be the inner surface of the wall portion 213 or the outer surface of the wall portion 213. When the first surface 21311 is the inner surface of the wall portion 213, the second surface 21312 can be the outer surface of the wall portion 213.
[0166] The first groove 2133 is a groove provided on the second surface 21312, and the shape of the first groove 2133 is the same as that of the reinforcing portion 22.
[0167] During molding, the first groove 2133 can be formed on the second surface 21312 by stamping, thereby forming the reinforcing portion 22 protruding from the first surface 21311. The reinforcing portion 22 is formed in a simple manner. The provision of the first groove 2133 forms a recessed structure at the position of the wall portion 213 where the reinforcing portion 22 is provided, so that the reinforcing portion 22 has better deformation resistance, thereby improving the reinforcing effect of the reinforcing portion 22 on the wall portion 213.
[0168] Please refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 ,Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the reinforcing portion 22 has a third surface 221 farthest from the first surface 21311 in the thickness direction of the wall portion 213. The distance between the groove bottom surface of the first groove 2133 and the third surface 221 is H1, and the distance between the first surface 21311 and the second surface 21312 is H2, and the following is satisfied: 0.5 ≤ H1 / H2 ≤ 1.5.
[0169] The third surface 221 is the surface of the reinforcing portion 22 farthest from the first surface 21311 in the thickness direction of the wall portion 213, and also the surface of the reinforcing portion 22 farthest from the groove bottom surface of the first groove 2133 in the thickness direction of the wall portion 213.
[0170] H1 represents the distance between the groove bottom surface of the first groove 2133 and the third surface 221 in the thickness direction of the wall portion 213. When measuring, it can be measured multiple times and the average value is taken as H1.
[0171] H2 represents the distance between the first surface 21311 and the second surface 21312 in the thickness direction of the wall portion 213. When measuring, it can be measured multiple times and the average value is taken as H2.
[0172] H1 / H2 represents the ratio of the distance between the groove bottom surface of the first groove 2133 and the third surface 221 in the thickness direction of the wall portion 213 and the distance between the first surface 21311 and the second surface 21312 in the thickness direction of the wall portion 213.
[0173] The ratio of the distance between the groove bottom surface of the first groove 2133 and the third surface 221 in the thickness direction of the wall portion 213 and the distance between the first surface 21311 and the second surface 21312 in the thickness direction of the wall portion 213 can be: H1 / H2 = 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, etc.
[0174] When H1 / H2≥0.5, the distance between the groove bottom surface of the first groove 2133 and the third surface 221 along the thickness direction of the wall portion 213 is larger, and the reinforcing portion 22 has better reinforcing effect and buffering effect. When H1 / H2≤1.5, the distance between the groove bottom surface of the first groove 2133 and the third surface 221 along the thickness direction of the wall portion 213 is not too large, which is beneficial to reduce the occupation of the reinforcing portion 22 to the internal space of the battery monomer 20 or the internal space of the battery device 100, and is beneficial to improve the energy density of the battery monomer 20 or the battery device 100. When 0.5≤H1 / H2≤1.5, the distance between the groove bottom surface of the first groove 2133 and the third surface 221 along the thickness direction of the wall portion 213 is relatively close to the distance between the first surface 21311 and the second surface 21312, which is convenient for processing the reinforcing portion 22 by stamping, and can balance the reinforcing effect, the buffering effect of the reinforcing portion 22 and the energy density of the battery monomer 20.
[0175] Optionally, 0.8≤H1 / H2≤1.2.
[0176] The ratio of the distance between the groove bottom surface of the first groove 2133 and the third surface 221 along the thickness direction of the wall portion 213 to the distance between the first surface 21311 and the second surface 21312 can be: H1 / H2=0.8, 0.85, 0.9, 0.95, 1, 1.05, 1.1, 1.15, 1.2, etc.
[0177] When H1 / H2≥0.8, the distance between the groove bottom surface of the first groove 2133 and the third surface 221 along the thickness direction of the wall portion 213 is larger, and the reinforcing portion 22 has better reinforcing effect and buffering effect. When H1 / H2≤1.2, the distance between the groove bottom surface of the first groove 2133 and the third surface 221 along the thickness direction of the wall portion 213 is not too large, which is beneficial to reduce the occupation of the reinforcing portion 22 to the internal space of the battery monomer 20 or the internal space of the battery device 100, and is beneficial to improve the energy density of the battery monomer 20 or the battery device 100. When 0.8≤H1 / H2≤1.2, the distance between the groove bottom surface of the first groove 2133 and the third surface 221 along the thickness direction of the wall portion 213 is more close to the distance between the first surface 21311 and the second surface 21312, which is convenient for processing the reinforcing portion 22 by stamping, and can balance the reinforcing effect, the buffering effect of the reinforcing portion 22 and the energy density of the battery monomer 20.
[0178] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7In some embodiments, along the thickness direction of the wall portion 213, the height of the reinforcing portion 22 protruding from the first surface 21311 is H3, the distance between the first surface 21311 and the second surface 21312 is H2, and the following condition is satisfied: 1 / 3≤H3 / H2≤1.
[0179] H3 represents the height of the reinforcing portion 22 protruding from the first surface 21311 along the thickness direction of the wall portion 213, i.e., the distance between the first surface 21311 and the third surface 221 along the thickness direction of the wall portion 213. When measuring, the average value of multiple measurements can be taken as H3.
[0180] H3 / H2 represents the ratio of the height of the reinforcing portion 22 protruding from the first surface 21311 along the thickness direction of the wall portion 213 to the distance between the first surface 21311 and the second surface 21312 along the thickness direction of the wall portion 213.
[0181] The ratio of the height of the reinforcing portion 22 protruding from the first surface 21311 along the thickness direction of the wall portion 213 to the distance between the first surface 21311 and the second surface 21312 along the thickness direction of the wall portion 213 can be: H3 / H2=1 / 3, 1 / 2, 2 / 3, 3 / 4, 4 / 5, 1, etc.
[0182] When H3 / H2≥1 / 3, along the thickness direction of the wall portion 213, the height of the reinforcing portion 22 protruding from the first surface 21311 is higher, and the reinforcing portion 22 has better reinforcing effect and buffering effect. When H3 / H2≤1, along the thickness direction of the wall portion 213, the height of the reinforcing portion 22 protruding from the first surface 21311 is not too high, on the one hand, when the reinforcing portion 22 is processed by stamping, it is not easy to cause the material to be excessively stretched to form a weak position. On the other hand, it is beneficial to reduce the occupation of the reinforcing portion 22 to the internal space of the battery monomer 20 or the internal space of the battery device 100, and is beneficial to improve the energy density of the battery monomer 20 or the battery device 100. When 1 / 3≤H3 / H2≤1, the reinforcing effect, the buffering effect of the reinforcing portion 22 and the energy density of the battery monomer 20 can be considered.
[0183] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the wall portion 213 is provided with a second groove 2132, and the groove bottom wall of the second groove 2132 forms a weak portion 2131. Along the thickness direction of the wall portion 213, the groove bottom surface of the first groove 2133 is closer to the first surface 21311 than the groove bottom surface of the second groove 2132.
[0184] The second groove 2132 is a groove provided on the wall portion 213. The first surface 21311 can be provided with the second groove 2132, or the second surface 21312 can be provided with the second groove 2132. Taking the first surface 21311 provided with the second groove 2132 as an example, the second groove 2132 is recessed from the first surface 21311 toward the second surface 21312, and the weak portion 2131 is the portion between the groove bottom surface of the second groove 2132 and the second surface 21312.
[0185] The second groove 2132 can be formed in various ways, such as punch forming, cold heading, and the like. Taking the punch forming as an example, the second groove 2132 can be punch formed on the wall portion 213 along the thickness direction of the wall portion 213.
[0186] The punch forming or cold heading of the second groove 2132 causes the cold work hardening of the groove wall of the second groove 2132 (change in grain arrangement, resulting in lattice distortion and deformation, reducing the plasticity of the metal and increasing the hardness of the material), which enhances the ability of the second groove 2132 to resist external impact and is not easily damaged by external impact.
[0187] It can be understood that, along the thickness direction of the wall portion 213, the groove bottom surface of the first groove 2133 is located between the groove bottom surface of the second groove 2132 and the first surface 21311.
[0188] The groove bottom surface of the first groove 2133 can be a plane or a circular arc surface. The groove bottom surface of the second groove 2132 can be a plane or a circular arc surface. As an example, in the embodiment shown in the drawings, the groove bottom surface of the first groove 2133 and the groove bottom surface of the second groove 2132 are both planes and are both parallel to the first surface 21311. Figure 7
[0189] By making the groove bottom surface of the first groove 2133 closer to the first surface 21311 than the groove bottom surface of the second groove 2132 along the thickness direction of the wall portion 213, when the area of the wall portion 213 inside the reinforcing portion 22 is deformed under stress, the reinforcing portion 22 can better buffer the stress, reducing the risk of the battery monomer 20 opening the valve prematurely, thereby improving the life and reliability of the battery monomer 20.
[0190] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the reinforcing portion 22 has a first sidewall 223 and a first bottom wall 222. The first sidewall 223 surrounds the first bottom wall 222, and the first sidewall 223 and the first bottom wall 222 together define a first groove 2133. The thickness of the first sidewall 223 is H4, and the distance between the first surface 21311 and the second surface 21312 along the thickness direction of the wall portion 213 is H2, satisfying: H4 ≤ H2.
[0191] The first bottom wall 222 is a wall provided along the thickness direction of the wall portion 213 of the reinforcing part 22. Along the thickness direction of the wall portion 213, the first bottom wall 222 is positioned opposite the opening of the first groove 2133. The first side wall 223 is the portion of the reinforcing part 22 surrounding the first bottom wall 222. The extension trajectory of the first side wall 223 has the same shape as the first groove 2133. The thickness of the first side wall 223 can be uniform or non-uniform. If the thickness of the first side wall 223 is uniform, the maximum thickness of the first side wall 223 is equal to the minimum thickness of the first side wall 223, and both the maximum and minimum thickness of the first side wall 223 are H4.
[0192] exist Figure 7 In the embodiment shown, the thickness of the first sidewall 223 is non-uniform. Along the depth direction of the first groove 2133, the thickness of the first sidewall 223 gradually decreases. At this time, H4≤H2, that is, the maximum thickness of the first sidewall 223 is less than or equal to the distance between the first surface 21311 along the thickness direction of the wall portion 213 and the second surface 21312.
[0193] When H4≤H2, the thickness of the first sidewall 223 does not exceed the distance between the first surface 21311 and the second surface 21312, which simplifies the forming process. The reinforcing part 22 can be formed by stamping, and the forming method is simple.
[0194] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, along the thickness direction of the wall portion 213, the thickness of the first bottom wall 222 is H1, and the distance between the first surface 21311 and the second surface 21312 is H2, satisfying: H1≤H2.
[0195] The thickness of the first bottom wall 222 along the thickness direction of the wall portion 213 is equal to the distance between the bottom surface of the first groove 2133 along the thickness direction of the wall portion 213 and the third surface 221.
[0196] The thickness of the first bottom wall 222 can be uniform or non-uniform. When the thickness of the first bottom wall 222 is uniform, the maximum thickness of the first bottom wall 222 is equal to the minimum thickness of the first bottom wall 222, and both the maximum thickness of the first bottom wall 222 and the minimum thickness of the first bottom wall 222 are H1.
[0197] The thickness of the first bottom wall 222 can also be non-uniform. For example, along the width direction of the first groove 2133, the thickness of the first bottom wall 222 gradually increases from the middle to the two ends. At this time, H1≤H2, that is, the maximum thickness of the first bottom wall 222 is less than or equal to the distance between the first surface 21311 and the second surface 21312 along the thickness direction of the wall portion 213.
[0198] When H1≤H2, the thickness of the first bottom wall 222 does not exceed the distance between the first surface 21311 and the second surface 21312, which can simplify the molding process and can be molded by stamping the reinforcing portion 22, which is simple in molding method.
[0199] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the wall portion 213 is provided with a second groove 2132, and the groove bottom wall of the second groove 2132 forms a weak portion 2131.
[0200] The weak portion 2131 is formed on the wall portion 213 by opening the second groove 2132 on the wall portion 213. When the battery monomer 20 is pressure released, the wall portion 213 is cracked along at least a portion of the second groove 2132, which is simple and convenient and has low cost.
[0201] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the second groove 2132 is arranged on the first surface 21311.
[0202] The reinforcing portion 22 protrudes from the first surface 21311, and the second groove 2132 is arranged on the first surface 21311, that is, the reinforcing portion 22 and the second groove 2132 are arranged on the same surface.
[0203] When the reinforcing portion 22 and the second groove 2132 are processed by stamping, the wall portion 213 is stamped from both sides of the wall portion 213, so that the wall portion 213 is not easily deformed toward one side.
[0204] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 andFigure 7 In some embodiments, the first surface 2131 faces the inside of the case 21.
[0205] Since the reinforcing portion 22 is provided to the first surface 2131, the first surface 2131 faces the inside of the case 21, the reinforcing portion 22 can utilize the inside space of the battery cell 20, and the reinforcing portion 22 does not occupy the space outside the battery cell 20. In the embodiments in which the second groove 2132 is provided to the first surface 2131, the first surface 2131 faces the inside of the case 21, so that the second groove 2132 faces the inside of the battery cell 20, and the second groove 2132 is not exposed to the outside of the battery cell 20, reducing the risk of oxidation of the position where the wall portion 213 is provided with the second groove 2132 due to exposure to the outside of the battery cell 20.
[0206] Please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 7 A cross-sectional view of the battery cell 20 is provided for some embodiments of the present application. In some embodiments, the battery cell 20 includes an electrode assembly 23 accommodated in the case 21. The wall portion 213 includes a wall body 2135 and an abutting portion 2134 provided around the outer edge of the wall body 2135. In the thickness direction of the wall portion 213, the abutting portion 2134 protrudes from the wall body 2135 in the direction close to the electrode assembly 23 and directly or indirectly abuts against the electrode assembly 23, and the wall body 2135 includes a weak portion 2131.
[0207] The wall body 2135 and the abutting portion 2134 can be integrally formed or separately provided and connected. The weak portion 2131 can be formed by providing a groove on the wall body 2135, or by heat treating a local part of the wall body 2135 to weaken the strength of the local area to correspondingly form the weak portion 2131.
[0208] The abutting portion 2134 can be an annular structure surrounding the outer edge of the wall body 2135, which can be a circular ring structure, a rectangular ring structure, etc. After the abutting portion 2134 directly or indirectly abuts against the electrode assembly 23, the abutting portion 2134 and the electrode assembly 23 can be electrically connected or insulated. If the abutting portion 2134 directly abuts against the electrode assembly 23, the abutting portion 2134 directly contacts the electrode assembly 23, for example, the abutting portion 2134 directly abuts against the tab at the end of the electrode assembly 23, so as to realize the electrical connection between the wall portion 213 and the electrode assembly 23; if the abutting portion 2134 indirectly abuts against the electrode assembly 23, an intermediate piece is arranged between the abutting portion 2134 and the electrode assembly 23, which can be an insulating piece or a conductive piece. Taking the intermediate piece as the current collecting member 25 for example, the abutting portion 2134 indirectly abuts against the tab at the end of the electrode assembly 23 through the current collecting member 25, so as to realize the electrical connection between the wall portion 213 and the electrode assembly 23.
[0209] The abutting portion 2134 of the wall portion 213 directly or indirectly abuts against the electrode assembly 23, and the abutting portion 2134 can limit the electrode assembly 23 and reduce the risk of movement of the electrode assembly 23 in the shell 21.
[0210] Please refer to Figure 8 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the shell 21 includes a second side wall 2111 surrounding the wall portion 213, and the wall portion 213 is located at one end of the second side wall 2111 along the thickness direction of the wall portion 213. A first flow channel 2113 is formed between the electrode assembly 23 and the second side wall 2111, the abutting portion 2134 and the wall body 2135 jointly define a flow space 2137, and the abutting portion 2134 is provided with a second flow channel 2138 communicating the flow space 2137 and the first flow channel 2113.
[0211] In the embodiment in which the shell 211 only has an opening at one end, the end cover 212 can be the wall portion 213, and the second side wall 2111 is a part of the shell 211; or the second bottom wall 2112 opposite to the end cover 212 of the shell 211 can be the wall portion 213, and the second side wall 2111 and the wall portion 213 are integrally formed to constitute the shell 211. In the embodiment in which the shell 211 has openings at opposite ends, at least one of the two end covers 212 can be the wall portion 213, and the second side wall 2111 is the shell 211.
[0212] The second side wall 2111 can be in a cylindrical shape, such that the battery cell 20 is a cylindrical battery cell; the second side wall 2111 can also be in a cuboid shape, such that the battery cell 20 is a square can battery cell or a blade battery cell. The second side wall 2111 and the wall portion 213 can be integrally formed, and the second side wall 2111 and the wall portion 213 constitute the housing 211, and an end of the second side wall 2111 away from the wall portion 213 forms an opening of the housing 211; or the second side wall 2111 and the wall portion 213 can be separately provided, and the wall portion 213 is an end cover 212, and an end of the second side wall 2111 close to the wall portion 213 forms an opening of the housing 211. In the embodiment in which the second side wall 2111 and the wall portion 213 are separately provided, the wall portion 213 and the second side wall 2111 can be connected by welding, bonding, crimping or the like.
[0213] The first flow channel 2113 can be a gap formed between the outer circumferential surface of the main body portion and the inner circumferential surface of the second side wall 2111 and the outer circumferential surface of the tab. Of course, if the outer circumferential surface of the main body portion is covered with an insulating film, the first flow channel 2113 can be a gap formed between the outer circumferential surface of the insulating film and the inner circumferential surface of the second side wall 2111 and the outer circumferential surface of the tab. The inner circumferential surface of the second side wall 2111 is a surface of the second side wall 2111 facing the electrode assembly 23, and the inner circumferential surface can extend a full circumference along the opening of the outer shell 21. It can be understood that, if the second side wall 2111 is in a cylindrical shape, the inner circumferential surface of the second side wall 2111 is in a cylindrical shape; if the second side wall 2111 is in a cuboid shape, the inner circumferential surface of the second side wall 2111 is in a cuboid shape.
[0214] The flow guide space 2137 defined by the wall body 2135 and the abutting portion 2134 corresponds to a region of the wall portion 213 inside the weak portion 2131, and after the weak portion 2131 is cracked, the discharge material in the flow guide space 2137 can be discharged to the outside of the battery cell 20 through the region of the wall portion 213 inside the weak portion 2131. The flow guide space 2137 is formed with an opening portion at an end of the abutting portion 2134 close to the electrode assembly 23, and after the abutting portion 2134 directly or indirectly abuts against the electrode assembly 23, the opening portion is covered. It can be understood that, if the abutting portion 2134 directly abuts against the electrode assembly 23, the opening portion of the flow guide space 2137 is covered by the electrode assembly 23; if the abutting portion 2134 indirectly abuts against the electrode assembly 23 through an intermediate piece, the opening portion of the flow guide space 2137 is covered by the intermediate piece.
[0215] The second flow channel 2138 on the abutting portion 2134 can be one or multiple. If the second flow channel 2138 is multiple, the multiple flow channels can be uniformly distributed along the circumference of the abutting portion 2134, or can be non-uniformly distributed along the circumference of the abutting portion 2134.
[0216] The second flow guide channel 2138 can be a through hole provided on the abutting portion 2134, or can be a notch groove.
[0217] Due to the abutting portion 2134 being provided with the second flow guide channel 2138, the second flow guide channel 2138 communicates the flow guide space 2137 and the first flow guide channel 2113. When the battery monomer 20 is in thermal runaway, the exhaust generated by the electrode assembly 23 flows into the first flow guide channel 2113, and then the exhaust can quickly flow to the flow guide space 2137 through the second flow guide channel 2138 on the abutting portion 2134, so that the air pressure in the flow guide space 2137 quickly rises to quickly reach the burst pressure, so that the weak portion 2131 can be timely damaged, the time from the thermal runaway of the battery monomer 20 to the pressure relief of the battery monomer 20 is shortened, the risk of explosion and fire of the battery monomer 20 is reduced, and the reliability of the battery monomer 20 is effectively improved.
[0218] Optionally, the abutting portion 2134 includes a body portion 21341 and a plurality of protrusions 21342, the body portion 21341 is annularly arranged on the outer edge of the wall body 2135 and protrudes from the wall body 2135 in a direction close to the electrode assembly 23, the body portion 21341 has a fifth surface 21354 facing the electrode assembly 23, and the protrusions 21342 are arranged on the fifth surface 21354 and directly abut against the current collecting member 25. Along the circumferential direction of the abutting portion 2134, a second flow guide channel 2138 is formed between two adjacent protrusions 21342.
[0219] Please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 7 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the wall portion 213 further includes an edge portion 2136, the edge portion 2136 is annularly arranged on the outer edge of the abutting portion 2134, and the edge portion 2136 abuts against one end of the second side wall 2111 in a direction of the wall portion 213 pointing to the electrode assembly 23.
[0220] The edge portion 2136 is an annular structure annularly arranged on the outer edge of the abutting portion 2134. The outer edge of the edge portion 2136 is the outer edge of the wall portion 213.
[0221] As an example, the second side wall 2111 is part of the shell 211, the shell 211 only one end forms an opening, the edge portion 2136 abuts against one end of the shell 211 forming the opening in a direction of the wall portion 213 pointing to the electrode assembly 23, and the edge portion 2136 is welded to the second side wall 2111.
[0222] The edge portion 2136 abutting against the second side wall 2111 can limit the wall portion 213 from moving in a direction close to the electrode assembly 23.
[0223] Please refer to Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, along the thickness direction of the wall portion 213, the wall body 2135 has a fourth surface 21353 and a fifth surface 21354 arranged oppositely, the fourth surface 21353 faces the electrode assembly 23, the wall body 2135 is provided with a recess 21351, the recess 21351 is recessed from the fifth surface 21354 in a direction close to the fourth surface 21353, and a convex portion 21352 convex to the fourth surface 21353 is formed at a position of the wall body 2135 corresponding to the recess 21351, a surface of the convex portion 21352 facing the electrode assembly 23 is the first surface 21311; along the thickness direction of the wall portion 213, the orthographic projection of the weak portion 2131 is located in the recess 21351.
[0224] The fourth surface 21353 faces the inside of the shell 21, and the fourth surface 21353 and the first surface 21311 can be the same surface of the wall body 2135; in Figure 7 the embodiment shown, the fourth surface 21353 and the first surface 21311 can also be two surfaces with a distance in the thickness direction of the wall portion 213. The fifth surface 21354 is a surface of the wall body 2135 facing away from the inside of the shell 21 along the thickness direction of the wall portion 213, and the fifth surface 21354 can be a circular ring surface surrounding the outside of the recess 21351.
[0225] The orthographic projection of the weak portion 2131 in the thickness direction of the wall portion 213 is located in the recess 21351, and the weak portion 2131 is a portion between the groove bottom surface of the second groove 2132 and the bottom surface of the recess 21351.
[0226] The provision of the recess 21351 causes a certain distance to exist between the area of the wall portion 213 inside the weak portion 2131 and the fifth surface 21354, and when the fifth surface 21354 contacts the external component, the influence of the external component on the area of the wall portion 213 inside the weak portion 2131 can be reduced, so that the area of the wall portion 213 inside the weak portion 2131 can open outward when the battery monomer 20 is depressurized, and the risk that the area of the wall portion 213 inside the weak portion 2131 cannot be normally opened due to the blocking effect of the external component can be reduced.
[0227] Please refer to Figure 8 , 、 、 、 and In some embodiments, the shell 21 comprises a housing 211 having an opening and an end cover 212 closing the opening, the end cover 212 being the wall portion 213.
[0228] The end cover 212 is the wall portion 213, so that the end cover 212 is provided with a weakened portion 2131, which reduces the difficulty of forming or installing the weakened portion 2131.
[0229] Please refer to 、 、 、 、 and In some embodiments, the battery cell 20 is a cylindrical battery cell, and the thickness direction of the wall portion 213 is parallel to the axial direction of the cylindrical battery cell.
[0230] The embodiments of the present application also provide a battery device 100, which comprises the battery cell 20 described above.
[0231] In some embodiments, along the thickness direction of the wall portion 213, the wall portion 213 has a fourth surface 21353 and a fifth surface 21354 arranged oppositely, and the fourth surface 21353 faces the interior of the shell 21. The wall portion 213 is provided with a recessed portion 21351 recessed from the fifth surface 21354 in a direction close to the fourth surface 21353, and forms a protruding portion 21352 protruding from the fourth surface 21353 at a position of the wall portion 213 corresponding to the recessed portion 21351. The surface of the protruding portion 21352 facing the interior of the shell 21 is the first surface 21311. Along the thickness direction of the wall portion 213, the orthographic projection of the weakened portion 2131 is located in the recessed portion 21351. The battery device 100 further comprises a box body 10, and the battery cell 20 is accommodated in the box body 10. The battery cell 20 is fixed to the box body 10 by a glue layer, and the glue layer is at least partially accommodated in the recessed portion 21351.
[0232] The glue layer is a structure formed after the curing of a glue material, and the glue material can be a structural adhesive.
[0233] By at least partially accommodating the glue layer in the recessed portion 21351, on the one hand, the space occupied by the glue layer in the interior of the box body 10 can be reduced, and the energy density of the battery device 100 can be improved. On the other hand, at least partially accommodating the glue layer in the recessed portion 21351 makes the contact area between the glue layer and the wall portion 213 larger, and the adhesion strength between the battery cell 20 and the box body 10 can be improved.
[0234] In some embodiments, the wall portion 213 is provided with a first groove 2133 in a ring shape. The first groove 2133 is recessed from the bottom surface of the recessed portion 21351 in a direction close to the first surface 21311, and forms a reinforcing portion 22 protruding from the first surface 21311 at a position of the wall portion 213 corresponding to the first groove 2133.
[0235] When being formed, the first groove 2133 can be formed on the bottom surface of the recessed portion 21351 by stamping, and then the reinforcing portion 22 protruding from the first surface 21311 is formed. The reinforcing portion 22 is formed in a simple manner. The first groove 2133 is arranged to form a recessed structure at the position of the wall portion 213 where the reinforcing portion 22 is arranged, so that the reinforcing portion 22 has better deformation resistance, and the reinforcing effect of the reinforcing portion 22 on the wall portion 213 is improved.
[0236] In some embodiments, a part of the adhesive layer is accommodated in the first groove 2133.
[0237] Optionally, a part of the adhesive layer is accommodated in the recessed portion 21351, and another part of the adhesive layer is accommodated in the first groove 2133.
[0238] By accommodating a part of the adhesive layer in the first groove 2133, on the one hand, the space occupation of the adhesive layer in the battery device 100 can be reduced, and the energy density of the battery device 100 can be improved. On the other hand, the adhesive layer is at least partially accommodated in the first groove 2133, so that the contact area between the adhesive layer and the wall portion 213 is larger, and the bonding strength between the battery monomer 20 and the box body 10 can be improved.
[0239] In other embodiments, the first groove 2133 does not accommodate the adhesive layer.
[0240] The first groove 2133 does not accommodate the adhesive layer, so that the adhesive layer cannot easily prevent the weak portion 2131 from cracking, and the battery monomer 20 can be smoothly relieved, which is beneficial to improving the timeliness of the pressure relief of the battery monomer 20.
[0241] The embodiments of the present application also provide a power consumption device. The power consumption device includes the battery monomer 20 described above, and the battery monomer 20 is used to provide electric energy for the power consumption device.
[0242] The battery monomer 20 provided by the embodiment of the present application comprises an outer shell 21 and a reinforcing part 22, the outer shell 21 comprises a wall part 213, the wall part 213 has a weak part 2131, the weak part 2131 is annular, and the weak part 2131 is configured to be at least partially destroyed when the battery monomer 20 is depressurized. In the thickness direction of the wall part 213, the wall part 213 has a first surface 21311, the reinforcing part 22 is arranged on the first surface 21311, the reinforcing part 22 is annular, and the weak part 2131 is arranged on the outer side of the reinforcing part 22 in a surrounding manner. The first surface 21311 of the wall part 213 in the thickness direction is provided with the reinforcing part 22, the reinforcing part 22 plays a reinforcing role on the wall part 213, improves the anti-deformation capability of the wall part 213, improves the fatigue resistance of the wall part 213, reduces the risk of the wall part 213 being destroyed due to fatigue, makes the wall part 213 have a longer service life, and further improves the service life of the battery monomer 20. In addition, the weak part 2131 and the reinforcing part 22 are both annular, and the weak part 2131 is arranged on the outer side of the reinforcing part 22 in a surrounding manner. On the one hand, the reinforcing part 22 has a relatively close reinforcing effect on each position of the weak part 2131, so that the weak part 2131 is more easily completely destroyed when the battery monomer 20 is depressurized, so that the area of the wall part 213 located on the inner side of the weak part 2131 is easily completely separated from the wall part 213, a larger opening is opened, and the discharge in the battery monomer 20 can quickly depressurize through the opening, which is beneficial to improving the timeliness of the battery monomer 20. On the other hand, when the area of the wall part 213 located on the inner side of the reinforcing part 22 is deformed under stress, the reinforcing part 22 can play a buffering role, reduce the stress conducted to the weak part 2131, and thus reduce the risk of the battery monomer 20 being prematurely opened, which is beneficial to improving the service life and reliability of the battery monomer 20.
[0243] The weak part 2131 and the reinforcing part 22 are both circular annular, and the axis of the weak part 2131 coincides with the axis of the reinforcing part 22. The weak part 2131 and the reinforcing part 22 are both circular annular, and the axis of the weak part 2131 coincides with the axis of the reinforcing part 22. In this way, the weak part 2131 and the reinforcing part 22 are coaxially arranged, so that the reinforcing part 22 has the closest reinforcing effect on each position of the weak part 2131, the stress on each position of the weak part 2131 is more uniform when the battery monomer 20 is depressurized, so that the weak part 2131 is more easily completely destroyed when the battery monomer 20 is depressurized, so that the area of the wall part 213 located on the inner side of the weak part 2131 is more easily completely separated from the wall part 213, a larger opening is opened, and the discharge in the battery monomer 20 can quickly depressurize through the opening, which is beneficial to improving the timeliness of the battery monomer 20.
[0244] The above descriptions are only the preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application.
