[0096] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the side of the bottom wall 81 away from the containing cavity 83 has a sixth end face 812; along the third direction Z, the second hole 811 includes a first sunken platform 813 and a third hole 814 in communication, the first sunken platform 813 is arranged on the side close to the sixth end face 812, please combine Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the explosion-proof valve 90 is arranged in the first sunken platform 813.
[0097] By arranging the explosion-proof valve 90 in the first sink 813, not only can more space be released on the cover plate body 20 for the pole group assembly 50 and the plurality of connecting columns 52, but also the thermal and electrical separation can be achieved, and sufficient installation space can be provided for the explosion-proof valve 90 without increasing the size of the battery along the third direction Z, so that the structure of the entire battery is more compact, thereby optimizing the space occupation of the entire battery.
[0098] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 The bottom wall 81 is also provided with a patch 100, the patch 100 is attached to the sixth end face 812, and the projection of the patch 100 on the bottom wall 81 covers the explosion-proof valve 90.

[0100] In some embodiments, the side of the pole bottom plate 51 away from the connecting column 52 is welded with the tab 111; as shown in Figure 3 The second insulating piece 60 is arranged between the pole bottom plate 51 and the cover plate body 20;
[0101] As shown in Figure 7 The cover plate body 20 is provided with a second end face 22 on the side facing the pole group module 10 along the third direction Z; as shown in Figure 11 The pole bottom plate 51 is provided with a third end face 511 on the side away from the cover plate body 20 along the third direction Z; as shown in Figure 8 The second insulating piece 60 has a fourth end face 62 abutting against the second end face 22 and a fifth end face 63 abutting against the pole group module 10;
[0102] Still referring to Figure 3 The distance between the third end face 511 and the second end face 22 along the third direction Z is H1 mm, and H1 satisfies 1 / 3×H2≤H1+2×H3≤H2, wherein H2 is the distance between the fourth end face 62 and the fifth end face 63 along the third direction Z, and H3 is the thickness of the tab 111, and the units of H2 and H3 are mm;
[0103] The value range of H1 is 0≤H1≤2.5;
[0104] And / or, the value range of H2 is 2≤H2≤8;
[0105] And / or, the value range of H3 is 0.1≤H3≤2.4.
[0106] It should be noted that if the value of H1+2xH3 is too small, not only the overcurrent of the tab 111 cannot be guaranteed, the charging rate of the battery is affected, but also the space utilization inside the battery is easily reduced, therefore, H1+2xH3≥1 / 3xH2 should be met; if the value of H1+2xH3 is too large, not only the tab 111 is easily inserted into the inside of the pole group module 10, but also the tab 111 is easily damaged by compression stress, therefore, H1+2xH3≤H2 should also be met.
[0107] H1, H2 and H3 meet 1 / 3xH2≤H1+2xH3≤H2, and on this basis, the value range of H1, H2 and H3 is further combined to limit, not only the overcurrent of the pole assembly 50 and the tab 111 can be guaranteed, the charging rate of the battery is improved, but also the space occupation of the pole assembly 50, the second insulation piece 60 and the tab 111 and other components inside the battery is optimized, the space utilization inside the battery is improved, thereby the energy density of the battery is improved, in addition, the tab 111 is avoided to be inserted into the inside of the pole group module 10, and the tab 111 is prevented from being damaged by compression stress.

[0109] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 11 The size of the pole bottom plate 51 along the third direction Z is H4, when the pole bottom plate 51 is an aluminum matrix bottom plate, H4 meets 1mm≤H4≤3mm; when the pole bottom plate 51 is a copper matrix bottom plate, H4 meets 1mm≤H4≤2.5mm.
[0110] It should be noted that if the size H4 of the pole bottom plate 51 along the third direction Z is too small, not only the pole bottom plate 51 is easily welded through during the welding process of the pole bottom plate 51 and the tab 111, the reliability of the welding of the pole bottom plate 51 and the tab 111 is affected, but also the welding heat of the pole bottom plate 51 and the tab 111 easily affects the sealing ring 70, causing the sealing failure of the sealing ring 70, therefore, H4 meets H4≥1mm; if the size H4 of the pole bottom plate 51 along the third direction Z is too large, not only the space occupation of the pole bottom plate 51 inside the battery is easily increased, the space utilization inside the battery is reduced, but also the battery weight reduction and cost reduction are not conducive, therefore, when the pole bottom plate 51 is an aluminum matrix bottom plate, H4≤3mm; when the pole bottom plate 51 is a copper matrix bottom plate, H4≤2.5mm.
[0111] When the pole column bottom plate 51 is an aluminum matrix bottom plate, H4 satisfies 1mm≤H4≤3mm, and when the pole column bottom plate 51 is a copper matrix bottom plate, H4 satisfies 1mm≤H4≤2.5mm, which on one hand avoids welding through the pole column bottom plate 51, ensures the reliability of the welding of the pole column bottom plate 51 and the pole tab 111, on the other hand avoids the welding heat of the pole column bottom plate 51 and the pole tab 111 affecting the sealing ring 70, prevents the sealing failure of the sealing ring 70, and on the other hand can optimize the space occupation of the pole column bottom plate 51 in the battery, improve the space utilization rate in the battery, and is beneficial to the weight reduction and cost reduction of the battery.
[0112] Preferably, H4 satisfies 1.5mm≤H4≤2.0mm, wherein the size of the aluminum matrix bottom plate along the third direction Z is greater than or equal to the size of the copper matrix bottom plate along the third direction Z.
[0113] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the cover plate body 20 is also provided with a liquid injection hole 23, and the liquid injection hole 23 is located between the two pole column assemblies 50.
[0114] Referring to Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the second insulating part 60 has a first end face 61 facing the pole tab 111, and the first end face 61 is arranged opposite to the pole tab 111 along the second direction Y; the minimum distance between the first end face 61 and the pole tab 111 along the second direction Y is P3mm, and the minimum distance between the side of the pole tab 111 away from the first end face 61 and the liquid injection hole 23 along the second direction Y is P4mm, and min{P3, P4} is P5.
[0115] The pole group module 10 includes a positive pole piece, a negative pole piece and a separator, the separator includes a base material and a glue layer arranged on at least one side surface of the base material, the coverage rate of the glue layer is K, and the secondary battery satisfies:
[0116] 90%≤K≤100%, 0
[0117] Or, 20%≤K≤80%, 0
[0118] It should be noted that "min{P3, P4} is P5" means that the minimum one of the array P3 and P4 is P5. Since the pole tab 111 is multi-layered and stacked, the multi-layered pole tab 111 has a certain layer error after the formation of the battery cell, and therefore a certain accommodation space needs to be reserved for the pole tab 111 in the battery.
[0119] The secondary battery satisfies min{P3, P4} = P5, 90%≤K≤100%, 0
[0120] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 11 , for the same pole column assembly 50, the two connecting columns 52 are eccentrically arranged on the pole column bottom plate 51 along the second direction Y towards the first end face 61 close to the second insulating member 60.
[0121] On the cover plate body 20, for the two pole column assemblies 50 with opposite polarities, the two connecting columns 52 of each pole column assembly 50 are eccentrically arranged on the pole column bottom plate 51 along the second direction Y towards the first end face 61 close to the second insulating member 60, which not only increases the design width of the middle line of the battery pack, but also increases the dislocation space of the tab 111 along the second direction Y inside the battery, thereby improving the process yield.
[0122] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 9 , the pole group module 10 includes two pole group units 11 arranged in pairs along the first direction X; as shown in Figure 12 , each pole group unit 11 is provided with two tabs 111 with opposite polarities; as shown in Figure 14 , each pole column bottom plate 51 is welded with the tabs 111 of the same polarity of the two pole group units 11;
[0123] as shown inFigure 13 As shown, the pole post bottom plate 51 and the two tab 111 of the same polarity form two welds 512 extending along the second direction Y by welding, and the distance between the two welds 512 along the first direction X is L2 mm; see Figure 15 As shown, the size of the pole post bottom plate 51 along the first direction X is L3 mm, and L2 and L3 satisfy 0.05≤L2 / L3≤0.95.
[0124] And / or, the size of the weld 512 along the second direction Y is W3, and the size of the pole post bottom plate 51 along the second direction Y is W4, and W3 and W4 satisfy 0.2≤W3 / W4≤0.95.
[0125] It should be noted that the value of "L2 / L3" and / or the value of "W3 / W4" cannot be too small, otherwise not only the welding effect and welding reliability between the pole post bottom plate 51 and the tab 111 cannot be guaranteed, but also the local current density between the pole post bottom plate 51 and the tab 111 is easily increased, reducing the overcurrent capacity of the connecting post 52, therefore, L2 / L3≥0.05, W3 / W4≥0.2 shall be met; if the value of "L2 / L3" and / or the value of "W3 / W4" is too large, it is easy to cause the welding positioning size between the pole post bottom plate 51 and the tab 111 to be insufficient and the welding size to be too large, and the welding time to be too long, ultimately affecting the welding yield between the pole post bottom plate 51 and the tab 111, therefore, L2 / L3≤0.95, W3 / W4≤0.95 shall also be met.
[0126] By meeting 0.05≤L2 / L3≤0.95 and / or 0.2≤W3 / W4≤0.95, on the one hand, the welding effect and welding reliability between the pole post bottom plate 51 and the tab 111 are guaranteed, on the other hand, the overcurrent capacity of the connecting post 52 is guaranteed, and on the other hand, the welding time between the pole post bottom plate 51 and the tab 111 is avoided to be too long, and the welding yield between the pole post bottom plate 51 and the tab 111 is ensured.
[0127] In some embodiments, for the same pole post assembly 50, the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the two connecting posts 52 is S1, and the total area of the welds 512 formed by the pole post bottom plate 51 and the two tabs 111 is S2, and S1 and S2 satisfy 0.8≤S1 / S2≤2.0.
[0128] S1 and S2 satisfy S1 / S2≥0.8, thereby ensuring the consistency of overcurrent; at the same time, S1 and S2 satisfy S1 / S2≤2.0, thereby ensuring the material utilization rate, and reducing the volume and material of the pole post bottom plate 51 as much as possible under the condition of ensuring the overcurrent capacity of the pole post assembly 50, and improving the quality energy density of the battery.
[0129] In some embodiments, see Figure 6As shown, the fixing block 30 has a second sunken platform 31 recessed from the side of the fixing block 30 away from the cover plate body 20 along the third direction Z, and the second sunken platform 31 is circumferentially arranged around the connecting column 52.
[0130] The connecting column 52 is provided with a protruding portion 521 at one end away from the polar column bottom plate 51 along the third direction Z, and the protruding portion 521 extends radially from the outer circumferential surface of the connecting column 52 in a direction away from the connecting column 52; the protruding portion 521 abuts against the second sunken platform 31 along the third direction Z; wherein the volume of the protruding portion 521 is V1 mm 3 ;
[0131] The connecting column 52 is provided with a positioning blind hole 522 at one end away from the polar column bottom plate 51 along the third direction Z, and the space volume of the positioning blind hole 522 is V2 mm 3 ; V1 and V2 satisfy 1.05≤V2 / V1≤1.5;
[0132] And / or, please refer to Figure 11 As shown, the angle of the inclined surface of the positioning blind hole 522 is β, and β satisfies 90°≤β≤180°.
[0133] It should be noted that, in the process, the connecting column 52 passes through the first hole 21 and is riveted with the fixing block 30, and in this process, the end face where the positioning blind hole 522 of the connecting column 52 is located can be pressed by a riveting tool, so that the material of the connecting column 52 flows and forms the protruding portion 521 and the positioning blind hole 522, and V1 and V2 satisfy 1.05≤V2 / V1≤1.5, and β satisfies 90°≤β≤180° at the same time, thereby ensuring the riveting effect of the connecting column 52 and the fixing block 30, reducing the gap between the protruding portion 521 and the fixing block 30 after riveting, and facilitating subsequent welding of the connecting column 52 and the fixing block 30.
[0134] In some embodiments, the side of the protruding portion 521 away from the second sunken platform 31 along the third direction Z is welded with the fixing block 30.
[0135] By welding the side of the protruding portion 521 away from the second sunken platform 31 along the third direction Z with the fixing block 30, the contact resistance between the connecting column 52 and the fixing block 30 can be reduced, the overcurrent capacity can be improved, and foreign matter can be prevented from entering the gap and the contact surface from being oxidized.
[0136] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the distance between two connecting columns 52 of the same polarity along the second direction Y is W1, and W1 satisfies 2mm≤W1≤30mm;
[0137] And / or, the distance between the connecting column 52 and the edge of the fixing block 30 is W2, and W2 satisfies 2mm≤W2≤30mm;

[0139] And / or, the size of the cover plate body 20 along the first direction X is L2 mm, and L2 satisfies 1.1≤L2 / L1≤5.
[0140] The distance W1 between two connecting columns 52 with the same polarity along the second direction Y is greater than or equal to 2 mm, and the distance W2 between the connecting column 52 and the edge of the fixed block 30 is greater than or equal to 2 mm, so as to prevent the riveting extrusion of the two connecting columns 52, avoid the riveting cracking deformation of the fixed block 30 or the cover plate body 20, and leave appropriate space for the welding of the connecting column 52 and the tab; in addition, W1≤30 mm and W2≤30 mm, so as to avoid design redundancy and improve the mass energy density of the battery.
[0141] L1 and D satisfy L1 / D≥1.1, and L1 and L2 satisfy L2 / L1≥1.1, which can prevent the thermal influence of the welding heat on the first insulating piece 40 during the welding of the connecting column 52 and the fixed block 30 and the welding of the cover plate body 20 and the shell 80, prevent laser interference, and avoid riveting cracking deformation; in addition, L1 / D≤5 and L2 / L1≤5, so as to avoid design redundancy and improve the mass energy density of the battery.
[0142] Preferably, W1 satisfies 5 mm≤W1≤15 mm.
