With the increasing requirement of battery energy density and the increasing diversification of application scenarios, the optimization of the internal structure of the battery monomer and the safety guarantee become the key research direction.

[0003] In the related art, the shell of the battery monomer is provided with an electrode assembly and a lower plastic, and the lower plastic is supported between the electrode assembly and the end cover of the shell. However, the lower plastic is prone to deformation when subjected to pressure between the electrode assembly and the end cover, and local buckling or depression phenomenon occurs, which seriously damages the originally stable structure inside the battery monomer, causes insulation risk, threatens the safety of the battery monomer, and the deformed lower plastic easily blocks the ventilation channel in the shell, causing difficulty in pressure relief. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

[0004] The present application aims to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present application provides a battery monomer, a battery device and a power utilization device comprising the battery monomer, the battery monomer can improve the structural strength of the support platform, improve the structural strength of the first insulating piece, ensure the stability of the internal structure of the battery monomer, ensure the insulation performance inside the battery monomer, and also can improve the pressure relief efficiency and reduce the risk of out-of-control of the battery monomer.

[0005] In a first aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a battery monomer, comprising: a shell, the shell defining a cavity inside, the shell having a first wall, the first wall being provided with a pressure relief structure; a first insulating piece, the first insulating piece being arranged on the side of the first wall facing the cavity, the first insulating piece comprising a plate body and a support platform, the plate body being formed with a pressure relief hole penetrating through the plate body in a first direction, the pressure relief hole being in communication with the pressure relief structure, the support platform being connected to both ends of the plate body in a second direction and protruding from the side surface of the plate body away from the first wall in the first direction, the first direction being the thickness direction of the plate body, and the second direction being the length direction of the plate body, wherein the support platform comprises a plurality of support ribs, and the plurality of support ribs cooperatively define a plurality of exhaust channels, the plurality of exhaust channels all penetrating through the support platform in the second direction and being in communication with the pressure relief hole.

[0006] In the technical solution, the support table of the first insulating piece is provided with multiple support ribs, which can improve the structural strength of the support table, reduce the probability of deformation of the support table under pressure, stably support the support table between the electrode assembly and the first wall, ensure the stability of the internal structure of the battery monomer, and ensure the insulation performance inside the battery monomer. Meanwhile, the multiple support ribs of the support table define an exhaust passage through the support table along the second direction. Since the support table can be stably supported between the electrode assembly and the first wall, the exhaust passage can stably communicate the spaces on both sides of the support table in the second direction. When gas is generated inside the battery monomer, when the gas flows to the end portion of the shell where the first insulating piece is arranged, the gas can pass through the exhaust passage to reach the position of the pressure relief hole, and then be discharged to the outside of the shell through the pressure relief structure, improving the pressure relief efficiency and reducing the risk of out-of-control of the battery monomer.

At the same time, the higher-strength support part can make the structure of the exhaust passage more stable, thereby ensuring the ventilation performance inside the battery monomer, so that the pressure relief process can be smoothly performed.

As an example, the plurality of positive electrode tab sheets stacked together can be directly welded to the positive pole to form an electrical connection; or the electrode assembly can further include a positive electrode adapter sheet, the plurality of positive electrode tab sheets are welded to one end of the positive electrode adapter sheet, and the other end of the positive electrode adapter sheet is welded to the positive pole, so that the positive electrode tab sheet and the positive pole form an electrical connection.

[0099] The negative electrode tab can generally include a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode active material layer, the negative electrode active material layer being coated directly or indirectly on the negative electrode current collector, the negative electrode current collector without the negative electrode active material layer protruding from the negative electrode current collector with the negative electrode active material layer, the negative electrode current collector without the negative electrode active material layer serving as a negative electrode tab, and a plurality of negative electrode tabs being stacked together and electrically connected to the negative electrode post. For example, the plurality of negative electrode tabs stacked together can be directly welded to the negative electrode post to form an electrical connection; or the battery cell assembly can further include a negative electrode adapter plate, the plurality of negative electrode tabs stacked together being welded to one end of the negative electrode adapter plate, and the other end of the negative electrode adapter plate being welded to the negative electrode post, so that the negative electrode tabs are electrically connected to the negative electrode post. The material of the separator is not limited, for example, it can be polypropylene or polyethylene, etc.

[0100] At the same time, the battery cell mainly relies on the movement of metal ions between the positive electrode tab and the negative electrode tab to work. For example, in a lithium ion battery, the material of the positive electrode current collector can be aluminum, the material of the positive electrode active material layer can be lithium cobaltate, lithium iron phosphate, ternary lithium or lithium manganate, etc., the material of the negative electrode current collector can be copper, and the material of the negative electrode active material layer can be carbon or silicon, etc. During charging and discharging, Li+ moves back and forth between the two electrodes: when charging, Li+ is deintercalated from the positive electrode, inserted into the negative electrode through the electrolyte, and the negative electrode is in a lithium-rich state; when discharging, the opposite is true.

[0101] The technical solutions described in the embodiments of the present application are applicable to various electric devices using battery cells and battery devices, for example, mobile phones, portable devices, notebook computers, electric vehicles, electric toys, electric tools, vehicles, ships and spacecraft, etc., for example, spacecraft including airplanes, rockets, space shuttles and spacecraft, etc.

[0102] In recent years, new energy vehicles have made a leap in development. In the field of electric vehicles, battery devices play an irreplaceable important role as the power source of electric vehicles. Among them, battery devices as core components of new energy vehicles have high requirements in terms of energy density and reliability.

[0103] With the increasing demand for battery energy density and the increasing diversification of application scenarios, the optimization and safety of the internal structure of the battery cells of the battery device have become a key research direction.

[0104] The battery cell in the related art is provided with an electrode assembly and a first insulating piece (lower plastic) in the shell of the battery cell, and the first insulating piece is supported between the electrode assembly and the end cover of the shell. However, the first insulating piece is prone to deformation when subjected to pressure between the electrode assembly and the end cover, and local buckling or depression phenomenon occurs, which seriously damages the originally stable structure inside the battery cell, causes insulation risk, threatens the use safety of the battery cell, and the deformed first insulating piece is easy to block the ventilation channel in the shell, causing difficulty in pressure relief.

[0105] Based on the above considerations, in order to reduce the probability of deformation of the first insulating piece when subjected to pressure and increase the ventilation area in the shell of the battery cell, the application designs a battery cell, which is provided with a first insulating piece in the shell of the battery cell, and a plurality of support ribs are arranged on the support table of the first insulating piece. The plurality of support ribs can improve the structural strength of the support table, reduce the probability of deformation of the support table when subjected to pressure, enable the support table to be stably supported between the electrode assembly and the first wall, improve the stability of the internal structure of the battery cell, and improve the insulation performance inside the battery cell. At the same time, the plurality of support ribs of the support table define an exhaust channel through the support table along the second direction. Since the support table can be stably supported between the electrode assembly and the first wall, the exhaust channel can stably communicate the spaces on both sides of the support table in the second direction. When gas is generated inside the battery cell, when the gas flows to the end portion of the shell provided with the first insulating piece, the gas can pass through the exhaust channel to reach the position of the pressure relief hole, and then can be discharged to the outside of the shell through the pressure relief structure, improving the pressure relief efficiency and reducing the risk of out-of-control of the battery cell.

The power consumption device can be, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, an electric toy, an electric tool, an electric car, an electric vehicle, a ship, a spacecraft, etc. The electric toy can include fixed or mobile electric toys, such as game consoles, electric car toys, electric ship toys, and electric plane toys, etc. The spacecraft can include airplanes, rockets, space shuttles, and spacecraft, etc.

[0112] The battery monomer 10 according to the first aspect of the present application is described below with reference to Figures 3-15 The battery monomer 10 according to the first aspect of the present application is described below with reference to

[0113] The battery monomer 10 according to the first aspect of the present application is described below with reference to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The battery monomer 10 according to the first aspect of the present application is described below with reference to

[0114] The battery monomer 10 according to the first aspect of the present application is described below with reference to Figures 5-10 The first insulation 12 includes a plate body 121 and a support platform 122, the plate body 121 is formed with a pressure relief hole 1211 penetrating the plate body 121 along a first direction Z, the pressure relief hole 1211 is in communication with the pressure relief structure 13, the support platform 122 is connected to both ends of the plate body 121 in a second direction Y and protrudes from a side surface of the plate body 121 away from the first wall 111 in the first direction Z, the first direction Z is the thickness direction of the plate body 121, and the second direction Y is the length direction of the plate body 121, wherein the support platform 122 includes a plurality of support ribs 1223, the plurality of support ribs 1223 cooperatively define a plurality of exhaust channels 1221, the plurality of exhaust channels 1221 all penetrate the support platform 122 along the second direction Y and are in communication with the pressure relief hole 1211.

[0115] The battery monomer 10 according to the first aspect of the present application is described below with reference to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The battery monomer 10 according to the first aspect of the present application is described below with reference to

[0116] The first wall 111 is configured to lead out the electrode of the battery cell 10. Specifically, the first wall 111 is provided with a pole 14 mounting hole, and one end of the pole 14 of the battery cell 10 extends into the cavity 101 through the pole 14 mounting hole and is connected to the electrode assembly 15 in the cavity 101. When the shell 11 has one first wall 111, the positive pole 14 and the negative pole 14 of the battery cell 10 are arranged on the same side of the shell 11 in the first direction Z. When the shell 11 has two oppositely arranged first walls 111, the positive pole 14 and the negative pole 14 of the battery cell 10 are arranged on opposite sides of the shell 11 in the first direction Z, respectively.

[0117] As shown in Figure 5 The pressure relief structure 13 is configured to release the pressure in time when the internal pressure of the battery cell 10 rises suddenly due to abnormal conditions such as thermal runaway, so as to ensure the safe operation of the battery cell 10. In some examples, the pressure relief structure 13 can be an explosion-proof valve, and the pressure relief structure 13 can also be a structural weak area on the first wall 111, which can be formed with a notch or etching.

[0118] The shell 11 has two second walls oppositely arranged in the second direction Y, and the shell 11 also has two third walls oppositely arranged in the third direction X, which is the width direction of the plate body 121 and also the thickness direction of the battery cell 10.

[0119] It should be noted that the pole piece of the electrode assembly 15 in the battery cell 10 is usually arranged in layers along the third direction X, and the electrode assembly 15 will swell in the battery cell 10, and the plurality of battery cells 10 of the battery device 100 are usually arranged in layers along the third direction X. Therefore, the two third walls of the shell 11 are closely attached to the two side surfaces of the electrode assembly 15 in the third direction X, and the gas in the shell 11 cannot flow from between the third wall and the electrode assembly 15 to the pressure relief hole 1211.

[0120] Therefore, in order to facilitate the smooth flow of the gas inside the shell 11 towards the pressure relief hole 1211 and the pressure relief structure 13, a gap is formed between the two second walls of the shell 11 and the electrode assembly 15 to form a ventilation passage, or a gas exhaust structure is provided between the second wall and the electrode assembly 15, and the gas exhaust structure is formed with a ventilation passage extending along the first direction Z. The ventilation passage is configured to guide the gas generated inside the shell 11 to one end or both ends of the shell 11 in the first direction Z, so that the gas can be discharged from the pressure relief hole 1211 and the pressure relief structure 13.

[0121] The first insulation member 12 is arranged in the cavity 101 and between the electrode assembly 15 and the first wall 111, and is used to fix the electrode assembly 15 and isolate the electrode assembly 15 from the first wall 111. In some examples, the first insulation member 12 is a plastic member, for example, a polyvinyl chloride member or a polypropylene member. In some examples, the first insulation member 12 is adapted to abut between the first wall 111 and the electrode assembly 15 in the first direction Z, and an arrangement space of the tab and the adapter tab of the electrode assembly 15 is also defined between the first insulation member 12 and the electrode assembly 15.

[0122] Specifically, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the first insulation member 12 includes a plate body 121 and two support platforms 122. The plate body 121 is a rectangular plate body, and the two support platforms 122 are respectively connected to the two ends of the plate body 121 in the length direction, and the thickness of the support platforms 122 is greater than the thickness of the plate body 121. In some specific examples, the side surface of the support platform 122 facing the first wall 111 is flush with the side surface of the plate body 121 facing the first wall 111, and the support platform 122 protrudes from the side surface of the plate body 121 facing the electrode assembly 15. At this time, the support platform 122 is supported between the electrode assembly 15 and the first wall 111, and an arrangement space for arranging components such as tabs and adapter tabs is defined between the plate body 121 and the two support platforms 122.

[0123] Further, as shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the support platform 122 can include a plurality of support ribs 1223, for example, the number of support ribs 1223 can be two, three, four, six, eight, ten, twelve, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, or thirty or more, and the like. The plurality of support ribs 1223 can improve the structural strength of the support platform 122, improve the stability of the support of the support platform 122 between the electrode assembly 15 and the first wall 111, reduce the risk of deformation or crushing of the support platform 122 under pressure, thereby improving the stability of the internal structure of the battery monomer 10, ensuring the insulation performance inside the battery monomer 10, allowing the battery monomer 10 to operate stably, and improving the service life of the battery monomer 10.

[0124] Further, as shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the plurality of support ribs 1223 of each support platform 122 cooperatively define a plurality of exhaust passages 1221, for example, the plurality of support ribs 1223 of each support platform 122 can cooperatively define two, three, four, six, eight, ten, twelve, fourteen, sixteen, eighteen, or twenty or more exhaust passages 1221. In some specific examples, the inlet of each exhaust passage 1221 penetrates through the side surface of the support platform 122 facing the second wall, and the outlet of the exhaust passage 1221 penetrates through the side surface of the support platform 122 facing the plate body 121 to communicate to the pressure relief hole 1211. The plurality of exhaust passages 1221 can increase the total flow cross-sectional area for exhaust within the support platform 122, improve the exhaust performance of the support platform 122, improve the exhaust efficiency, and reduce the risk of explosion caused by gas accumulation in the shell 11.

[0125] When the battery cell 10 is in operation, the gas generated in the shell 11 can be guided through the ventilation passage between the electrode assembly 15 and the second wall of the shell 11 to the area where the first insulating member 12 is located, i.e., to the side of the support platform 122 facing the second wall, and then the gas can enter the exhaust passage 1221, pass through the exhaust passage 1221, flow to the position of the pressure relief hole 1211, and finally be discharged from the shell 11 through the pressure relief structure 13.

[0126] The plurality of support ribs 1223 cooperatively define the plurality of exhaust passages 1221 in the present embodiment. Since the thickness of the support ribs 1223 is smaller than the rest of the support structure (e.g., the boss structure or the bump structure), the support ribs 1223 occupy less area in the projection plane perpendicular to the second direction Y, which can further increase the total flow cross-section of the plurality of exhaust passages 1221, further improve the exhaust efficiency and exhaust performance, and ensure the unobstructed exhaust within the battery cell 10. Moreover, since the plurality of support ribs 1223 separate to form the plurality of exhaust passages 1221, the cross-sectional area of each exhaust passage 1221 can be reduced, the blocking efficiency of high-temperature impurities such as aluminum molten beads ejected from the shell 11 can be improved, the probability of impurities reaching the position of the pressure relief hole 1211 and blocking the pressure relief hole 1211 can be reduced, and the risk of fire can be reduced.

[0127] In the above technical solution, the support platform 122 of the first insulating part 12 is provided with multiple support ribs 1223, which can improve the structural strength of the support platform 122, reduce the probability of deformation of the support platform 122 under pressure, and enable the support platform 122 to stably support between the electrode assembly 15 and the first wall 111, thereby ensuring the stability of the internal structure of the battery monomer 10 and the insulation performance inside the battery monomer 10. At the same time, the multiple support ribs 1223 of the support platform 122 define an exhaust passage 1221 through the support platform 122 along the second direction Y. Since the support platform 122 can be stably supported between the electrode assembly 15 and the first wall 111, the exhaust passage 1221 can stably communicate the spaces on both sides of the support platform 122 in the second direction Y. When gas is generated inside the battery monomer 10, when the gas flows to the end portion of the housing 11 where the first insulating part 12 is arranged, the gas can pass through the exhaust passage 1221 to reach the position of the pressure relief hole 1211, and then can be discharged to the outside of the housing 11 through the pressure relief structure 13, thereby improving the pressure relief efficiency and reducing the risk of out-of-control of the battery monomer 10.

[0128] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 The multiple support ribs 1223 extend along the second direction Y and are arranged in the third direction X, which is the width direction of the plate body 121.

[0129] In some examples, the support rib 1223 can extend in a straight line in the second direction Y, for example, the support rib 1223 can extend in a straight line parallel to the second direction Y, or the support rib 1223 can extend in a straight line arranged at an angle with the second direction Y, thereby simplifying the structure of the support rib 1223, facilitating processing, and improving processing efficiency. In some examples, the support rib 1223 can also extend in a curve and / or a broken line in the second direction Y to further strengthen the structural strength of the support platform 122.

[0130] In the above technical solution, the plurality of support ribs 1223 extend along the second direction Y and are arranged in the third direction X. When the support platform 122 is subjected to force, the plurality of support ribs 1223 can uniformly disperse the force in the width direction of the plate body 121, further enhancing the support stability of the support platform 122 between the first wall 111 and the electrode assembly 15, reducing the possibility of deformation caused by uneven local stress, and thus better maintaining the stability of the internal structure of the battery monomer 10. At the same time, the support ribs 1223 extend along the second direction Y and are arranged in the third direction X, so that the plurality of exhaust channels 1221 extend along the second direction Y and are arranged in the third direction X. Therefore, the plurality of exhaust channels 1221 can be more reasonably and uniformly distributed, and no matter where the gas inside the battery monomer 10 is generated or gathered, it can be efficiently discharged through the exhaust channel 1221, improving the pressure relief and exhaust efficiency and uniformity of the support platform 122, and further improving the reliability and stability of the battery monomer 10 in operation.

[0131] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 At least part of the plurality of support ribs 1223 is arranged obliquely relative to the first direction Z.

[0132] That is, some of the plurality of support ribs 1223 can be arranged obliquely relative to the first direction Z, or all of the plurality of support ribs 1223 can be arranged obliquely relative to the first direction Z.

[0133] For example, in the first direction Z, from the first insulating member 12 to the first wall 111, the plurality of support ribs 1223 all extend obliquely to one side of the first insulating member 12 in the width direction (for example, the third direction X shown in Figure 8 For example, in the first direction Z, from the first insulating member 12 to the first wall 111, the plurality of support ribs 1223 all extend obliquely to one side of the first insulating member 12 in the width direction (for example, the third direction X shown in

[0134] In the technical solution, at least part of the plurality of support ribs 1223 are arranged obliquely relative to the first direction Z. When the support platform 122 is subjected to pressure from different directions, the oblique support ribs 1223 can better decompose and resist pressure from different directions, reduce the probability of displacement of the first insulating member 12, enhance the support stability of the first insulating member 12 between the electrode assembly 15 and the first wall 111, improve the stability of the internal structure of the battery monomer 10, improve the insulation performance inside the battery monomer 10, and stably connect the plurality of exhaust channels 1221 to both sides of the support platform 122 in the second direction Y, improve the ventilation performance of the support platform 122, and improve the pressure relief efficiency.

[0135] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 The oblique directions of the two support ribs 1223 adjacent in the third direction X are different.

[0136] That is, the plurality of support ribs 1223 include a plurality of first ribs and a plurality of second ribs. In the direction from the first insulating member 12 to the first wall 111, the plurality of first ribs are obliquely extended to one side of the first insulating member 12 in the width direction, and the plurality of second ribs are obliquely extended to the other side of the first insulating member 12 in the width direction. In the third direction X, the plurality of first ribs and the plurality of second ribs are alternately arranged.

[0137] In the technical solution, by making the oblique directions of the two support ribs 1223 adjacent in the third direction X different, the support ribs 1223 with different oblique directions can cooperate with each other. When the support platform 122 is subjected to pressure at any position, the support ribs 1223 with different oblique directions can effectively decompose and buffer the pressure, further enhancing the overall stability of the first insulating member 12, reducing the probability of local pressure being too large to cause deformation, better maintaining the structural integrity inside the battery monomer 10, and improving the exhaust efficiency.

[0138] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 In the direction from the first insulating member 12 to the first wall 111, the two support ribs 1223 adjacent and extending in opposite directions are connected and constitute a support part 1224. At least part of the plurality of support ribs 1223 form a plurality of support parts 1224.

[0139] For example, the number of the plurality of support ribs 1223 is 2N, and each two support ribs 1223 can form a support part 1224. For example, the 2N support ribs 1223 can form N support parts 1224, or for example, the 2N support ribs 1223 can form M support parts 1224, where N is a positive integer, and M is a positive integer less than N. At this time, a part of the support ribs 1223 does not form a support part 1224 with the adjacent support rib 1223.

[0140] In the above technical solution, the two support ribs 1223 adjacent to and extending towards each other are connected to form a support part 1224. At this time, the support part 1224 can be in the shape of an arch, a triangle, or a trapezoid. A plurality of support parts 1224 can form a plurality of support structures in the shape of an arch or a triangle. In this way, the compression resistance of the support table 122 can be further enhanced, the probability of deformation of the support table 122 caused by pressure concentration can be further reduced, and the insulation risk caused by structural deformation can be reduced. At the same time, the higher-strength support part 1224 can make the structure of the exhaust passage 1221 more stable, thereby ensuring the ventilation performance in the battery monomer 10, so that the pressure relief process can be smoothly performed.

[0141] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the two support ribs 1223 in the support part 1224 are connected in an arc shape.

[0142] Specifically, at the connection position of the two support ribs 1223 of the support part 1224, the two surfaces of the two support ribs 1223 arranged towards each other in the third direction X are connected in an arc shape, and the two surfaces of the two support ribs 1223 arranged away from each other in the third direction X are connected in an arc shape.

[0143] In the above technical solution, the two support ribs 1223 in the support part 1224 are connected in an arc shape. This can make the stress smoothly transition at the connection position of the two support ribs 1223, reduce the stress concentration point at the connection position of the two support ribs 1223, make the connection position better withstand and disperse the pressure, and enhance the compression resistance of the support part 1224 as a whole. At the same time, the arc connection of the two support ribs 1223 can make the inner wall of the exhaust passage 1221 smooth, reduce the flow resistance of the gas in the exhaust passage 1221, and improve the exhaust efficiency of the exhaust passage 1221.

[0144] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the plurality of support parts 1224 are sequentially connected in the third direction X.

[0145] That is, in the third direction X, the two support ribs 1223 adjacent to each other in the adjacent support part are connected.

[0146] In some examples, the plurality of support ribs 1223 are sequentially connected in the third direction X.

[0147] In the above technical solution, the plurality of support portions 1224 are sequentially connected in the third direction X, which can connect the plurality of support portions 1224 as a whole, enhance the overall performance of the plurality of support portions 1224, further enhance the overall structural strength of the plurality of support portions 1224, further improve the overall compression resistance of the plurality of support portions 1224, further reduce the deformation risk of the support table 122, and further ensure the ventilation performance of the support table 122.

[0148] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 In the third direction X, the two surfaces of the adjacent two support portions 1224 arranged opposite each other are connected by an arc.

[0149] In the above technical solution, by connecting the two surfaces of the adjacent two support portions 1224 arranged opposite each other by an arc, the stress at the connection position of the adjacent support portions 1224 can be dispersed, the stress concentration at the connection position can be reduced, and the reliability and durability of the connection position can be improved. At the same time, when the exhaust passage 1221 is formed between the adjacent support portions 1224, the arc connection of the two support portions 1224 can make the inner wall of the exhaust passage 1221 smooth, reduce the flow resistance of the gas in the exhaust passage 1221, and improve the exhaust efficiency of the exhaust passage 1221.

[0150] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 The plurality of support portions 1224 are formed as an integral part.

[0151] That is, the support structure composed of the plurality of support portions 1224 is integrally formed. The support structure composed of the plurality of support portions 1224 can be an independent component, and when assembled, the support structure composed of the plurality of support portions 1224 can be assembled into the main structure of the support table 122. In some examples, the support structure composed of the plurality of support portions 1224 can be fixedly connected to the main structure of the support table 122 by bonding or heat staking.

[0152] In the above technical solution, the plurality of support portions 1224 are formed as an integral part, which can enhance the integrity of the plurality of support portions 1224, reduce the number of components, improve the assembly efficiency, and in addition, when the plurality of support portions 1224 are integrally formed as independent components, the structure of the first insulating part 12 can be simplified, and the processing difficulty can be reduced.

[0153] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 8-10As shown, the support platform 122 further comprises a first plate 1225 arranged perpendicularly to the first direction Z, and a plurality of support ribs 1223 are connected to the first plate 1225 and located on a side of the first plate 1225 facing the first wall 111, and the first plate 1225 cooperates with the plurality of support ribs 1223 to define at least part of the plurality of exhaust channels 1221.

[0154] In some examples, the first plate 1225 is a flat plate and has a rectangular shape, so as to simplify the structure of the first plate 1225 and facilitate processing.

[0155] In some examples, all the exhaust channels 1221 in the support platform 122 are defined by the first plate 1225 cooperating with the plurality of support ribs 1223. In other examples, part of the exhaust channels 1221 in the support platform 122 are defined by the first plate 1225 cooperating with the plurality of support ribs 1223, and the other part of the exhaust channels 1221 can be defined by the plurality of support ribs 1223 cooperating with other structures (for example, the partition plate 1227 and / or the second plate 1226 described below).

[0156] In the above technical solutions, the first plate 1225 is arranged perpendicularly to the first direction Z, and the plurality of support ribs 1223 are connected to the first plate 1225, which can further improve the structural strength of the support platform 122, enhance the integrity of the plurality of support ribs 1223, improve the compression resistance of the support platform 122, reduce the probability of deformation of the support platform 122, make the internal structure of the battery monomer 10 more stable, and make the ventilation performance of the support platform 122 more stable and reliable.

[0157] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 8-10 The plurality of support ribs 1223 extend along the first direction Z, and in the first direction Z, the side edges of the plurality of support ribs 1223 facing the first wall 111 do not exceed the side surface of the plate body 121 facing the first wall 111.

[0158] For example, in the first direction Z, the side edge of the plurality of support ribs 1223 facing the first wall 111 is flush with the surface of the plate body 121 facing the first wall 111. At this time, the end face of the plurality of support ribs 1223 facing the first wall 111 can be coplanar with the surface of the plate body 121 facing the first wall 111, so that the first insulation piece 12 can be attached to the first wall 111 together with the plurality of support ribs 1223 and the plate body 121. Thus, the contact area between the first insulation piece 12 and the first wall 111 can be increased, and when the first insulation piece 12 is subjected to pressure, the pressure can be uniformly transmitted to the plate body 121 and the plurality of first support ribs 1223, reducing the probability of local pressure being too high and the probability of deformation of the first insulation piece 12, and improving the stability of the internal structure of the battery monomer 10. In addition, the height of the support rib 1223 can be increased, the cross-sectional area of the exhaust passage 1221 can be increased, and the ventilation performance of the plurality of exhaust passages 1221 in the support platform 122 can be further improved.

[0159] For another example, in the first direction Z, the height of the plurality of support ribs 1223 is lower than the distance between the first plate 1225 and the side surface of the plate body 121 facing the first wall 111. In this way, the support rib 1223 can not protrude from the plate body 121, reducing the occupied space of the support rib 1223 and reducing the probability of interference between the support rib 1223 and other components.

[0160] In the above technical solution, the side edge of the plurality of support ribs 1223 facing the first wall 111 does not exceed the side surface of the plate body 121 facing the first wall 111, which can facilitate the first insulation piece 12 to abut against the first wall 111 through the plate body 121 or through the plate body 121 and the plurality of support ribs, increase the contact area between the first insulation piece 12 and the first wall 111, reduce the probability of local pressure being too high, reduce the probability of deformation of the first insulation piece 12, improve the stability of the internal structure of the battery monomer 10, and also make the support rib 1223 not protrude from the plate body 121, reduce the occupied space of the support rib 1223, and reduce the probability of interference between the support rib 1223 and other components.

[0161] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 11 The support platform 122 further includes a second plate 1226 arranged on the side of the first plate 1225 facing the first wall 111, and the plurality of support ribs 1223 are arranged between the first plate 1225 and the second plate 1226. The side surface of the second plate 1226 facing the first wall 111 is flush with the side surface of the plate body 121 facing the first wall 111.

[0162] In some embodiments, the plurality of support ribs 1223 can be connected between the first plate 1225 and the second plate 1226 to further improve the structural strength of the support platform 122.

[0163] In some embodiments, one end of the plurality of support ribs 1223 is connected to the first plate 1225 and the other end is spaced apart from the second plate 1226 in the first direction Z. In this way, the height of the support ribs 1223 can be reduced, the amount of material can be reduced, and the projection area of the support ribs 1223 in the projection plane perpendicular to the second direction Y can be reduced, the total ventilation cross-sectional area of the exhaust passage 1221 in the support platform 122 can be increased, and the ventilation performance of the support platform 122 can be improved.

[0164] In some embodiments, the side surface of the second plate 1226 facing the first wall 111 is coplanar with the side surface of the plate body 121 facing the first wall 111, so that the first insulation member 12 can be attached to the first wall 111 by the second plate 1226 and the plate body 121 together. In this way, the contact area between the first insulation member 12 and the first wall 111 can be increased, and when the first insulation member 12 is subjected to pressure, the pressure can be uniformly transmitted to the plate body 121 and the two second plates 1226, the probability of local pressure being too high can be reduced, the probability of the first insulation member 12 being deformed can be reduced, and the stability of the internal structure of the battery monomer 10 can be improved.

[0165] In the above technical solution, the support platform 122 further comprises the second plate 1226, and the plurality of support ribs 1223 are arranged between the first plate 1225 and the second plate 1226. The second plate 1226 can further improve the structural strength of the support platform 122, enhance the integrity of the plurality of support ribs 1223, improve the compression resistance of the support platform 122, and reduce the probability of deformation of the support platform 122. At the same time, the side surface of the second plate 1226 facing the first wall 111 is flush with the side surface of the plate body 121 facing the first wall 111, so that the first insulation member 12 can be attached to the first wall 111 by the second plate 1226 and the plate body 121 together, the probability of local pressure being too high can be reduced, and the probability of the first insulation member 12 being deformed can be reduced. In this way, the stability of the internal structure of the battery monomer 10 can be improved, and the ventilation performance of the support platform 122 can be more stable and reliable.

[0166] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 10-11 The support platform 122 further comprises two partition plates 1227 connected to the first plate 1225 and arranged on the side of the first plate 1225 facing the first wall 111, the two partition plates 1227 are spaced apart in the third direction X, and the plurality of support ribs 1223 are arranged between the two partition plates 1227.

[0167] In some examples, the two partitions 1227 can be flat plates arranged perpendicularly to the third direction X, and the two partitions 1227 are arranged in parallel and at intervals, and the two partitions 1227 and the first plate 1225 can cooperate to enclose a support cavity which is open at the top and on both sides in the second direction Y, or the two partitions 1227 and the first plate 1225 and the second plate 1226 can cooperate to enclose a support cavity which is open on both sides in the second direction Y, and the plurality of support ribs are arranged in the support cavity. In this way, the two partitions 1227 and the first plate 1225 can form a stable frame structure, or the two partitions 1227, the first plate 1225 and the second plate 1226 can form a stable frame structure, and the support ribs 1223 are supported in the frame structure, so that the structural strength of the support table 122 can be further improved.

[0168] In the above technical solution, the two partitions 1227 can further improve the structural strength of the support table 122 and reduce the probability of deformation of the support table 122. The partitions 1227 can also form exhaust channels 1221 between adjacent support ribs 1223, so that the number of exhaust channels 1221 can be further increased, the total flow cross-sectional area of the plurality of exhaust channels 1221 in the support table 122 can be increased, and the ventilation performance of the support table 122 can be improved.

[0169] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 10 In the first direction Z, the side edge of the partition 1227 facing the first wall 111 is flush with the surface of the plate body 121 facing the first wall 111.

[0170] For example, the end face of the partition 1227 facing the first wall 111 can be coplanar with the surface of the plate body 121 facing the first wall 111. In this way, when the first insulation member 12 abuts against the first wall 111, the two partitions 1227 and the plate body 121 jointly fit the first wall 111, so that the contact area between the first insulation member 12 and the first wall 111 can be increased. When the first insulation member 12 is subjected to pressure, the pressure can be uniformly transmitted to the plate body 121 and the two partitions 1227, the probability of local overpressure can be reduced, the probability of deformation of the first insulation member 12 can be reduced, and the stability of the internal structure of the battery monomer 10 can be improved.

[0171] In the above technical solution, the side edge of the partition 1227 facing the first wall 111 is flush with the surface of the plate body 121 facing the first wall 111, so that the partition 1227 and the plate body 121 can jointly bear the pressure received by the first insulation member 12, the probability of local stress concentration can be reduced, the probability of deformation of the first insulation member 12 can be reduced, the stability of the internal structure of the battery monomer 10 can be improved, and the ventilation performance of the plurality of exhaust channels 1221 can be ensured.

[0172] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown inFigure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, multiple support ribs 1223 form multiple support portions 1224. Each support portion 1224 includes two adjacent support ribs 1223 in a third direction X. The two support ribs 1223 of each support portion 1224 are connected at one end facing the first wall 111. An exhaust channel 1221 is formed between the support portion 1224 and the first plate 1225, and / or, the exhaust channel 1221 is formed between two adjacent support portions 1224.

[0173] Two support ribs 1223 are connected to form a support part 1224. The two support ribs 1223 can support each other, further improving the structural strength and stability of the support part 1224. Furthermore, the support part 1224 can more effectively disperse stress and reduce the probability of deformation of the first insulating member 12.

[0174] In some examples, the first direction Z is the vertical direction, the first plate 1225 is horizontally positioned, and the support portion 1224 is connected to the first plate 1225 and located on the upper side of the first plate 1225. The exhaust channel 1221 may be formed only between the lower surface of the support portion 1224 and the upper surface of the first plate 1225. Alternatively, the exhaust channel 1221 may be formed only in the upper region of the support portion 1224; for example, the exhaust channel 1221 may be formed between the upper surface of the support portion 1224 and the first wall 111, or between the upper surface of the support portion 1224 and the lower surface of the second plate 1226. Furthermore, exhaust channels 1221 may be formed on both the upper and lower sides of the support portion 1224.

[0175] In the above technical solution, by forming multiple support parts 1224 and forming exhaust channels 1221 on one or both sides of the support parts 1224 in the thickness direction, the structural strength of the support platform 122 can be improved, the risk of deformation can be reduced, and a stable exhaust channel 1221 structure can be formed, reducing the risk of the exhaust channel 1221 being crushed and deformed, and ensuring the ventilation performance of the exhaust channel 1221.

[0176] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 10 As shown, the support platform 122 extends from one end of the plate body 121 in the third direction X to the other end, where the third direction X is the width direction of the plate body 121.

[0178] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 10 In the third direction X, the two side edges of the support platform 122 are flush with the two side edges of the plate body 121, respectively.

[0179] For example, the two end faces of the support platform 122 in the third direction X are flush with the two side end faces of the plate body 121 in the third direction X, respectively.

[0180] In the technical solution, the two side edges of the support platform 122 in the third direction X are flush with the two side edges of the plate body 121, respectively, which can uniformly distribute the support force of the first insulating member 12 in the third direction X, effectively prevent the edge of the plate body 121 from deforming, and also can make the support platform 122 not occupy additional space beyond the plate body 121 in the third direction X, compact structure, reduce space waste, and improve the energy density of the battery monomer 10.

[0181] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 9 and Figure 11 The inlet and outlet of the exhaust passage 1221 respectively pass through the two end faces of the support platform 122 in the second direction Y, and the outlet of the exhaust passage 1221 is located on the side of the plate body 121 away from the first wall 111 in the first direction Z.

[0182] In some examples, the exhaust passage 1221 extends in a straight line parallel to the second direction Y in the second direction Y and penetrates the two end faces of the support platform 122. Thus, the structure of the exhaust passage 1221 can be simplified, and the processing and molding of the exhaust passage 1221 can be facilitated.

[0183] In some examples, the exhaust passage 1221 is completely located on the side of the plate body 121 facing the electrode assembly 15. Thus, the exhaust passage 1221 can be conveniently arranged, and the probability of interference between the plate body 121 and the outlet of the exhaust passage 1221 is reduced. Moreover, the molding of the exhaust passage 1221 does not need to make the support platform 122 protrude from the plate body 121 on the side facing the first wall 111, so that the surface of the plate body 121 and the support platform 122 facing the first wall 111 can be flush, thereby reducing the occupied space of the first insulating member 12 in the battery monomer 10, compact structure, and improving the energy density of the battery monomer 10.

[0184] In the technical solution, the outlet of the exhaust passage 1221 is located on the side of the plate body 121 away from the first wall 111 in the first direction Z, which facilitates the molding of the exhaust passage 1221 without occupying additional space on the side of the plate body 121 facing the first wall 111, reduces the occupied space of the first insulating member 12 in the battery monomer 10, and improves the energy density of the battery monomer 10.
