[0042] To fully understand this application, detailed steps and structures will be presented in the following description to illustrate the technical solution of this application. Preferred embodiments of this application are described in detail below; however, in addition to these detailed descriptions, this application may have other implementation methods.

[0043] To address the technical problems in related technologies, embodiments of this application provide a battery. (See reference...) Figures 1-4 The battery includes:

[0044] A single cell battery 10 includes a terminal post 112 located at one end of the single cell battery 10; the surface of the terminal post 112 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​structure, the first snap-fit ​​structure including a first snap-fit ​​mating surface 1123 extending along a first direction;

[0045] Electrical connector 20 is configured to electrically connect two adjacent individual battery cells 10; the electrical connector 20 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​structure that mates with the first snap-fit ​​structure, the second snap-fit ​​structure including a second snap-fit ​​mating surface 221 extending along a first direction;

[0046] The first snap-fit ​​surface 1123 and the second snap-fit ​​surface 221 have a snap-fit ​​gap in the second direction, and the snap-fit ​​gap includes a weld formed by welding; the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0047] In the attached diagram, Figures 1-4 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 13 All are top-view projection diagrams; the rest are axonometric diagrams.

[0048] Specifically, the single battery cell 10 may include a casing, a battery cell, and a top cover 11. The top cover 11 includes a cover plate 111 and terminals 112. The cover plate 111 is used to close the casing to protect the battery cell, and the terminals 112 are used to draw out the electrical energy from the battery cell.

[0049] Specifically, the single battery 10 in this embodiment can be a square single battery, with the first direction being the vertical direction of the casing; the top of the casing of the square single battery 10 is open, and the terminal post 112 is located at the top of the casing. The first snap-fit ​​surface 1123 and the second snap-fit ​​surface 221 are arranged in the vertical direction to facilitate snap-fit ​​with the electrical connector 20 in the vertical direction.

[0050] Understandably, the terminal 112 is mounted on the cover plate 111 of the single cell 10 to form a top cover 11. The top cover 11 is mounted on the housing with the terminal 112 facing upwards, that is, the terminal 112 is above the single cell 10.

[0051] Understandably, the electrical connector 20, also referred to as a battery connector tab or tab, is used to electrically connect two or more individual battery cells 10, to connect the individual battery cells 10 in series or in parallel. The electrical connector 20 may include two or more ends, each used to electrically connect an individual battery cell 10. Each end of the electrical connector 20 may be provided with a second snap-fit ​​structure. In this way, the electrical connection between the electrical connector 20 and the individual battery cell 10 is completed through the cooperation of the first snap-fit ​​structure and the second snap-fit ​​structure.

[0052] Understandably, a weld is a seam formed by the melting and joining of metals after a welding process, electrically connecting the surfaces with a snap-fit ​​gap between the first snap-fit ​​surface 1123 and the second snap-fit ​​surface. Specifically, in this embodiment, the second snap-fit ​​surface 221 of the electrical connector 20 and the first snap-fit ​​surface 1123 of the pole 112 can be butt-welded on the basis of snap-fit ​​for better electrical connection.

[0053] Specifically, the snap-fit ​​gap can exist in a portion of the snap-fit ​​mating surface, for example, a snap-fit ​​gap in the middle but not at the ends; or multiple areas with snap-fit ​​gaps can appear at intervals along the length of the snap-fit ​​mating surface. This allows for both a secure snap-fit ​​and butt welding. The snap-fit ​​mating surface is a collective term for the first snap-fit ​​mating surface 1123 and the second snap-fit ​​mating surface 221.

[0054] Further reference Figure 4 The surface roughness of the mating surfaces is relatively high, which facilitates the dissipation of gases generated during welding. Understandably, Figure 4 The roughness of the mating surfaces is only shown to illustrate that the surface roughness is relatively high; the actual surface micro-texture shape is not shown.

[0055] The battery of this application embodiment has a first snap-fit ​​structure on the terminal post 112 that is electrically connected to the electrical connector 20, and a second snap-fit ​​structure on the electrical connector 20 that cooperates with the first snap-fit ​​structure, so that the first snap-fit ​​structure and the second snap-fit ​​structure form a snap-fit ​​gap, which allows butt welding to be performed within the snap-fit ​​gap, reducing welding power and facilitating the discharge of gas generated by laser welding, reducing the possibility of bursting, and increasing the electrical connection performance and electrical connection stability between the electrical connector 20 and the terminal post 112.

[0056] Furthermore, since the electrical connector 20 and the single cell 10 are snapped together during welding, their relative positions are relatively stable, which improves the welding quality and the consistency of the weld.

[0057] Furthermore, the vertical snap-fit ​​between the electrical connector 20 and the single battery cell 10 reduces the space occupied by the electrical adapter in the vertical direction, thus improving space utilization.

[0058] In other embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 6 The first snap-fit ​​structure includes a spiral groove or a spiral protrusion with a trajectory of a planar spiral line, and the sidewall of the spiral groove or the spiral protrusion is the first snap-fit ​​mating surface 1123; the second snap-fit ​​structure includes a spiral protrusion or a spiral groove with a trajectory of a planar spiral line, and the sidewall of the spiral protrusion or the spiral groove is the second snap-fit ​​mating surface 221.

[0059] The connection is made more stable by using a planar spiral design. Furthermore, since the terminal post 112 is above the individual battery cell 10, and the first and second engagement surfaces 1123 and 221 are vertically aligned, welding is also easier. See the top cover 11 after assembling the terminal post 112 and the electrical connector 20. Figure 7 .

[0060] In other embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The first snap-fit ​​structure includes multiple rectangular grooves or rectangular protrusions arranged at intervals along the same direction to form comb-shaped grooves or protrusions, and the sidewall of the rectangular grooves or rectangular protrusions is the first snap-fit ​​mating surface 1123; the second snap-fit ​​structure includes multiple rectangular protrusions or rectangular grooves arranged at intervals along the same direction to form comb-shaped protrusions or comb-shaped grooves, and the sidewall of the rectangular protrusions or rectangular grooves is the second snap-fit ​​mating surface 221.

[0061] The rectangular snap-fit ​​design results in a simple structure and low processing cost. Similarly, the first snap-fit ​​mating surface 1123 and the second snap-fit ​​mating surface 221 are arranged vertically, making welding relatively convenient. See the top cover 11 after assembling the pole 112 and the electrical connector 20. Figure 10 .

[0062] In other embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 11 and Figure 12 The first snap-fit ​​structure is an arc-shaped groove or an arc-shaped protrusion, and the sidewall of the arc-shaped groove or the arc-shaped protrusion is the first snap-fit ​​mating surface 1123; the second snap-fit ​​structure is an arc-shaped protrusion or an arc-shaped groove, and the sidewall of the arc-shaped protrusion or the arc-shaped groove is the second snap-fit ​​mating surface 221.

[0063] The arc-shaped snap-fit ​​design results in a simple structure, low processing cost, stable connection, and high strength of the electrical connector 20. Similarly, the first snap-fit ​​mating surface 1123 and the second snap-fit ​​mating surface 221 are arranged vertically, thus facilitating welding. See the top cover 11 after assembling the pole 112 and the electrical connector 20. Figure 13 .

[0064] In some other embodiments of this application, the snap-fit ​​gap is greater than or equal to the width of the weld required for welding.

[0065] This facilitates the implementation of the welding process and reduces the impact on the electrical connector 20 or pole 112 during the welding process.

[0066] In some other embodiments of this application, the surface roughness of the first snap-fit ​​surface 1123 and the second snap-fit ​​surface 221 is Ra 3.2 μm to Ra 12.5 μm. Optionally, the roughness can be 3.2 μm, 3.3 μm, 3.4 μm, 3.5 μm... 12.1 μm, 12.2 μm, 12.3 μm, 12.4 μm, 12.5 μm, etc.

[0067] In this way, the two mating surfaces have sufficient roughness to allow the gases generated during welding to escape.

[0068] Understandably, the first snap-fit ​​surface 1123 and the second snap-fit ​​surface 221 can be formed by machining, or by chemical or electrochemical treatment.

[0069] In other embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The electrode 112 includes a first electrode 1124 and a second electrode 1125; the first electrode 1124 and the second electrode 1125 are both disposed on the same end face of the single cell 10 and are spaced apart in the length direction of the end face; one of the first electrode 1124 and the second electrode 1125 is a positive electrode 112 and the other is a negative electrode 112.

[0070] In this way, multiple individual battery cells 10 can be arranged horizontally with the end face of the terminal 112 facing upwards. If parallel connection is required, the two ends of the electrical connector 20 are respectively connected to the terminal 112 of the same polarity of different individual battery cells 10; if series connection is required, the two ends of the electrical connector 20 are respectively connected to the terminal 112 of different polarities of different individual battery cells 10. Compared to the case where the positive and negative terminal 112 are not on the same end face, or the case where the positive and negative terminal 112 are on the same end face, the connection of the electrical connector 20 is more convenient.

[0071] In other embodiments of this application, the first snap-fit ​​structures of the first pole post 1124 and the second pole post 1125 have the same shape and size, and are respectively connected to different electrical connectors 20. Both ends of the electrical connectors 20 are provided with second snap-fit ​​structures of the same shape and size.

[0072] This results in lower processing costs and easier battery assembly.

[0073] Specifically, refer to Figure 5 The pole post 112 includes a connecting plate 1121 and a post 1122, wherein the post 1122 is used to electrically connect to the electrical connector 20, and the connecting plate 1121 is used to electrically connect to the battery cell.

[0074] Specifically, refer to Figure 6 , Figure 9 or Figure 12 The electrical connector 20 includes a body 21 and an electrical connection portion 22. More specifically, two electrical connection portions 22 may be provided, one at each end of the body 21. The two electrical connection portions 22 are respectively connected to two adjacent single battery cells.

[0075] This application embodiment also provides an electrical device, including the aforementioned single battery 10. Multiple single batteries 10 can directly supply power to the electrical device, or they can be connected in parallel, series, or a hybrid configuration to form a power supply unit, such as a battery module, to supply power to various electrical devices. The electrical device can take many forms, such as portable devices like mobile phones and laptops, or vehicles like electric vehicles, electric cars, ships, airplanes, and spacecraft, as well as electric toys, power tools, and various household appliances. Spacecraft include rockets, space shuttles, and spacecraft.

[0076] The electrical equipment of this application embodiment has a first snap-fit ​​structure on the pole 112 that is electrically connected to the electrical connector 20, and a second snap-fit ​​structure on the electrical connector 20 that cooperates with the first snap-fit ​​structure, so that the first snap-fit ​​structure and the second snap-fit ​​structure form a snap-fit ​​gap, which allows butt welding to be performed within the snap-fit ​​gap, reducing welding power, facilitating the discharge of gas generated by laser welding, reducing the possibility of bursting, and increasing the electrical connection performance and electrical connection stability between the electrical connector 20 and the pole 112.

[0077] It should be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and are not intended to encompass all possible implementations contained in this application. Various modifications and changes can be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope of this application. Similarly, the various technical features of the above embodiments can be arbitrarily combined to form other embodiments of this application that may not be explicitly described. Therefore, the above embodiments merely illustrate several implementations of this application and do not limit the scope of protection of this patent application.
