[0133] As shown, the electrode terminal comprises a first electrode terminal 23 and a second electrode terminal 24, the first electrode terminal 23 being connected to the corresponding tab 221, and the second electrode terminal 24 being connected to the corresponding tab 221.

[0134] As shown, the housing 21 comprises a cover plate assembly 29 and a housing, the housing and the cover plate assembly 29 forming a receiving cavity for accommodating the electrode assembly 22. Figure 7 Figure 18 As shown, the housing 21 comprises a cover plate assembly 29 and a housing, the housing and the cover plate assembly 29 forming a receiving cavity for accommodating the electrode assembly 22.
[0135] The housing comprises a wall portion, which can be any side wall of the housing, and the wall portion can be the top wall of the housing.
[0136] The electrode terminal is used to connect the tab 221 of the electrode assembly 22 and the busbar between the battery cells 20, and the electrode terminal is insulatedly connected to the housing 21, and the electrode terminal comprises a main body portion, an extension portion and a reinforcing portion.
[0137] The main body portion is electrically connected to the tab 221 of the electrode assembly 22, and the main body portion is used to connect the tab 221 of the electrode assembly 22, and the main body portion can be connected to the tab 221 by welding or the like.
[0138] The extension portion protrudes from the main body portion along a first direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the wall portion. The extension portion is connected to the main body portion, and the extension portion and the main body portion can be connected by integral molding or welding or the like.
[0139] The extension portion is electrically connected to the busbar.
[0140] The extension portion extends outwardly from the main body portion, and the extension portion extends along the first direction to increase the connection area of the electrode terminal and the busbar, and to increase the reliability of the electrical connection.
[0141] The extension portion can be provided in a flat shape, i.e. the extension portion is provided in a structure with a large length-width ratio, so as to be connected to the busbar, and the busbar is a conductive connecting piece between different battery cells 20. The extension length of the extension portion can be set according to the layout requirements of the battery cell 20 in the battery device 100.
[0142] In some embodiments, the surface of the extension part is provided with a tin plating layer to improve its oxidation resistance and electrical conductivity.
[0143] At least part of the reinforcing part is arranged on the side of the extension part facing the shell 21 to reduce the risk of deformation and warping of the extension part.
[0144] In some embodiments, at least part of the reinforcing part extends to the side of the main body part facing the shell 21 to reinforce the main body part, reduce the risk of deformation of the main body part, and reduce the difficulty of assembly and processing.
[0145] The arrangement position of the reinforcing part at least includes the following two kinds:
[0146] First, the reinforcing part is arranged on the inner side of the extension part and also on the inner side of the main body part.
[0147] In this embodiment, the inner side of the main body part and the inner side of the extension part are both provided with a reinforcing part, which can reduce the risk of deformation of the main body part and the extension part, and improve the bending strength and shear strength of the main body part and the extension part.
[0148] The main body part and the extension part are at the same height, and the reinforcing part is located between the surface where the main body part and the extension part are located and the surface where the shell 21 is located.
[0149] For example, the reinforcing part can be connected to the inner side of the main body part and the extension part by gluing, welding or thermal compounding, or can be stacked by contact lamination and the like.
[0150] In some embodiments, the reinforcing part is thermally compounded with the extension part, or the reinforcing part is arranged between the extension part and the shell.
[0151] Second, the reinforcing part is arranged on the inner side of the extension part, and the inner side of the extension part is the side of the extension part facing the shell 21.
[0152] The reinforcing part is located on the inner side of the extension part, i.e. the reinforcing part is arranged in the region between the extension part and the shell 21.
[0153] For example, the reinforcing part can be connected to the inner side of the extension part by gluing, welding or thermal compounding, or can be stacked by contact lamination and the like.
[0154] In this embodiment, the presence of the reinforcing part makes the extension part of the electrode terminal less likely to deform or break when subjected to external pressure or vibration, thereby reducing the risk of deformation of the extension part due to its large length-width ratio and weak structural strength, and improving the overall reliability and safety of the battery monomer 20.
[0155] The reinforcing portion is located between the extension portion and the shell 21, the extending direction of the reinforcing portion is consistent with the extension portion, and the width of the reinforcing portion is not greater than the width of the extension portion, so as to facilitate the assembly of the extension portion and the reinforcing portion with the shell 21.
[0156] In some embodiments, the strength of the reinforcing portion is greater than the strength of the extension portion, that is, the strength of the reinforcing portion is greater than the strength of the extension portion, and the reinforcing portion is arranged on the inner side of the extension portion, which can reduce the risk of deformation of the extension portion and improve the bending strength and shear strength of the extension portion.
[0157] In the embodiment, the reinforcing portion can be made of a material with a strength greater than the strength of the material of the extension portion and the main body portion.
[0158] For example, the main body portion and the extension portion can be aluminum parts, and the reinforcing portion can be made of a material with a strength greater than aluminum, for example, the reinforcing portion can be made of a copper part or a steel part.
[0159] For example, the main body portion and the extension portion of the negative electrode terminal can be composed of an upper layer of aluminum and a lower layer of copper, and the reinforcing portion can be made of a steel material with a strength greater than aluminum or copper; or the main body portion and the extension portion of the positive electrode terminal can be aluminum parts, and the reinforcing portion can be a copper layer or a steel layer.
[0160] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 13 The extension portion is provided with a mounting groove 235 on the side facing the shell 21, and at least part of the reinforcing portion is arranged in the mounting groove 235.
[0161] The reinforcing portion is embedded in the mounting groove 235, which can reduce the influence of the reinforcing portion on the thickness of the electrode terminal in the third direction, and can reduce the risk of deformation and warping of the electrode terminal.
[0162] In some embodiments, the thickness W of the reinforcing portion satisfies: 0.1mm≤W≤1mm, preferably 0.2mm≤W≤0.5mm.
[0163] For example, W can be 0.3mm, 0.4mm or 0.5mm.
[0164] In the embodiment, by limiting the thickness W of the reinforcing portion, the influence of the height of the battery monomer 20 can be reduced, and the assembly difficulty can be reduced.
[0165] In the related art, the extension portion has weak structural strength due to the large aspect ratio, and has risks of deformation and fracture, which is not conducive to the stability of the battery monomer 20.
[0166] According to the battery monomer 20 provided in the present application, by arranging the reinforcing part on the inner side of the extension part, the bending strength and the shearing strength of the extension part can be improved, so as to reduce the risk of deformation of the extension part, thereby reducing the risk of deformation or fracture of the extension part of the electrode terminal when bearing external pressure or vibration, and improving the overall reliability and safety of the battery monomer 20.
