Figure 5 , Figure 5 This application shows one of the internal structural schematic diagrams of a battery device according to an embodiment of the present application; see reference. Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a second schematic diagram of the internal structure of a battery device according to an embodiment of this application.

[0037] like Figure 1 - Figure 6As shown in the figure, this application discloses a battery device, which includes: a battery body 1, the battery body 1 having a connection terminal 10 for electrical connection with an electrical device; and a cooling fan 2, the cooling fan 2 being disposed on the battery body 1 and electrically connected to the connection terminal 10, the cooling fan 2 being used to dissipate heat from the battery body 1. Further, the connection terminal 10 can be a male terminal or a female terminal.

[0038] Specifically, when the connection terminal 10 on the battery body 1 is a male connection terminal, the electrical device is provided with a female connection terminal. When the connection terminal 10 on the battery body 1 is a female connection terminal, the electrical device is provided with a male connection terminal. When the male connection terminal is inserted into the corresponding female connection terminal, the battery body 1 can be electrically connected to the electrical device, and the electrical device can be charged and discharged through the battery body 1.

[0039] The cooling fan 2 is electrically connected to the connection terminal 10. When the connection terminal 10 is electrically connected to the electrical device, the electrical device can provide current and control signals to the cooling fan 2 through the connection terminal 10, so that the cooling fan 2 can rotate, thereby realizing the heat dissipation of the battery body 1.

[0040] In this embodiment, by electrically connecting the cooling fan 2 to the connection terminal 10 on the battery body 1, the battery body 1 and the cooling fan 2 can be electrically connected to the electrical device through the same connection terminal 10. In this way, only one connection terminal 10 is needed to connect the battery device and the cooling fan 2 to the electrical device, reducing the installation space occupied by the connection terminal 10, improving space utilization, and thus improving the compactness and portability of the electrical device.

[0041] Specifically, the first direction Y, the second direction Z, and the third direction X are preferably perpendicular to each other. Specifically, in the embodiments of this application, the first direction Y is the length direction of the battery device, such as... Figure 1 As shown in the Y direction, the second direction Z is the height direction of the battery device, as shown in the figure. Figure 1 As shown in the Z direction, the third direction X is the thickness direction of the battery device, as... Figure 1 The X-axis direction shown above, and the three directions mentioned above, are applicable to subsequent embodiments.

[0042] Optionally, the battery body 1 includes a plurality of battery cells 11 and a protection board 12. The plurality of battery cells 11 are electrically connected to the protection board 12. The connection terminal 10 is disposed on the protection board 12 and electrically connected to the protection board 12. The cooling fan 2 includes a fan body 20 and a connector 21. The connector 21 is electrically connected to the fan body 20. The connector 21 is disposed on the protection board 12 and electrically connected to the protection board 12, so that the connector 21 is electrically connected to the connection terminal 10 through the protection board 12.

[0043] Specifically, the protection board 12 consists of a circuit board and multiple components mounted on the circuit board. The protection board 12 is connected to multiple battery cells 11 and is used to monitor and manage the status of the battery body 1, ensuring the safety of the battery body 1 during charging and discharging. Specifically, it may include functions such as overcharge protection, over-discharge protection, overcurrent protection, short circuit protection, and temperature protection. It should be noted that the specific shape and structure of the protection board 12 can be specifically set according to actual conditions, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on it.

[0044] Multiple battery cells 11 are arranged side by side. One end of each battery cell 11 has a positive and a negative tab, both of which are electrically connected to a protection board 12. This allows the multiple battery cells 11 to be connected in series or in parallel. It should be noted that the number of battery cells 11 can be 2, 3, 4, etc., depending on the specific requirements. Figure 2 In this embodiment of the application, the battery device may include four battery cells 11.

[0045] The cooling fan 2 includes a fan body 20 and a connector 21 electrically connected to the fan body 20. The fan body 20 can rotate and close, realizing the cooling function of the cooling fan 2 for the battery body 1. The connector 21 is disposed on the protection board 12 and electrically connected to the protection board 12. It can then be electrically connected to the connection terminal 10 through the protection board 12, so as to electrically connect the fan body 20 to the electrical device through the connection terminal 10. Specifically, the control signal in the electrical device is transmitted to the connector 21 through the connection terminal 10 and the protection board 12. The connector 21 receives the control signal and transmits it to the fan body 20, controlling the rotation and closing of the fan body 20 through the control signal. The connector 21 is only used for control signal connection, does not require overcurrent protection, and will not affect the design of the battery protection board 12.

[0046] In this embodiment, by placing the connector 21 of the cooling fan 2 on the protection plate 12 and electrically connecting it to the protection plate 12, the complexity of the electrical connection is further simplified. By integrating the connector 21 of the cooling fan 2 onto the protection plate 12, the overall battery device has a higher degree of integration, a more compact structure, and is easier to install and maintain. Only one connection terminal 10 is needed to connect the battery body 1, the cooling fan 2, and the electrical equipment, reducing the number of connection terminals 10 and improving space utilization.

[0047] Optionally, the protection plate 12 includes a first surface 120 and a second surface 121 disposed opposite to each other along a third direction X. The connector 21 is disposed on the first surface 120, and the connection terminal 10 is disposed on the second surface 121. In practical applications, disposing of the connector 21 and the connection terminal 10 on two different surfaces of the protection plate 12 can effectively utilize space, reduce the size of the battery device along the third direction X, make the entire battery device more compact, and thus reduce the installation space occupied by the battery device along the third direction X, improving space utilization.

[0048] Optionally, the protective plate 12 has a projection surface along a third direction X. The projection of the connector 21 along the third direction X onto this projection surface is spaced apart from the projection of the connecting terminal 10 along the third direction X onto this projection surface. In practical applications, by making the projections of the connector 21 and the connecting terminal 10 along the third direction X spaced apart, overlap between the connector 21 and the connecting terminal 10 along the third direction X can be avoided. This further reduces the size of the battery device along the third direction X, making the entire battery device more compact, and further reducing the installation space occupied by the battery device along the third direction X, thus improving space utilization.

[0049] Optionally, the battery body 1 further includes a housing 13, in which a plurality of battery cells 11 are arranged side by side along the first direction Y within the housing 13, and a protection plate 12 is disposed on one side of the plurality of battery cells 11 along the second direction Z and extends within the housing 13 along the first direction Y; the housing 13 is provided with an opening 1301 on one side along the second direction Z, and the connection terminal 10 is exposed at the opening 1301.

[0050] Specifically, the housing 13 has a receiving cavity. The housing 13 can be a one-piece structure or a split structure. The battery cell 11 and the protection board 12 are disposed in the receiving cavity, thereby protecting the battery cell 11 and the protection board 12 through the housing 13, preventing the external environment from affecting the battery device, and improving the overall durability and reliability.

[0051] In practical applications, by arranging multiple battery cells 11 side by side in the housing 13 along the first direction Y, and the protection plate 12 is arranged on one side of the multiple battery cells 11 along the second direction Z, the battery cells 11 and the protection plate 12 can be arranged more compactly, thereby reducing the volume of the entire battery device, thereby reducing the installation space occupied by the battery device and improving space utilization.

[0052] Since the protection plate 12 is located on the side of the battery cell 11 near the second direction Z, the housing 13 is correspondingly provided with an opening 1301 on the side near the second direction Z, and the connection terminal 10 is exposed at the opening 1301. This facilitates the operation of connecting the battery device to the electrical equipment, and makes it easy to inspect and maintain the connection terminal 10, reducing the steps of disassembling the housing 13 and improving the convenience of maintenance.

[0053] Optionally, the housing 13 includes a first housing 130 and a second housing 131, which are stacked along the third direction X. The first housing 130 and the second housing 131 form a receiving cavity, in which a plurality of battery cells 11 and the protection plate 12 are disposed. The second housing 131 is provided with a receiving groove 1311, and the fan body 20 is disposed in the receiving groove 1311. The first housing 130 is provided with an opening 1301 on one side along the second direction Z.

[0054] like Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, the housing 13 includes a first housing 130 and a second housing 131, which are detachably connected. Specifically, they can be connected by bolts, snap-fit ​​connections, or any other detachable connection method. The first housing 130 and the second housing 131 are stacked along a third direction X, forming a cavity to accommodate the battery cell 11 and the protection board 12. By designing the housing 13 as a modular structure, the size and position of the first housing 130 and the second housing 131 can be adjusted according to actual needs, making the use of internal space more flexible and efficient. The modular structure allows each part to be manufactured and assembled separately, reducing the complexity of the overall structure and lowering the assembly difficulty.

[0055] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the second housing 131 is provided with a receiving groove 1311. The shape and size of the receiving groove 1311 are adapted to the shape and size of the fan body 20, so that the fan body 20 can be fixedly installed in the receiving groove 1311. Specifically, it can be fixed by means of dispensing, snap-fitting, etc. In practical applications, by setting the fan body 20 in the receiving groove 1311, compared with setting the fan body 20 outside the battery body 1, the space occupied by the fan body 20 can be avoided, making the structure of the battery device more compact and further reducing the size of the battery device.

[0056] It should be noted that, since there can be multiple battery cells 11, the position of the receiving slot 1311 can be arbitrarily set, and it can be set in, for example... Figure 3 The middle position of the four cells 11 shown can also be set in other positions, depending on the specific circumstances.

[0057] Optionally, the cooling fan 2 further includes a connecting wire 22, one end of which is electrically connected to the fan body 20, and the other end passes through the second housing 131 and is electrically connected to the connector 21.

[0058] Specifically, such as Figure 2 - Figure 6 As shown, one end of the connecting wire 22 is connected to the fan body 20. Since the connector 21 is located on the protective plate 12, and the protective plate 12 is located inside the second housing 131, a through hole can be provided on the side of the second housing 131 near the connector 21, through which the other end of the connecting wire passes and is electrically connected to the connector 21. In practical applications, connecting the connecting wire 22 from inside the second housing 131 to the protective plate 12 of the battery body 1 eliminates the need for fixing devices such as clips on the battery housing 22 compared to routing the fan connecting wire 22 from outside the battery device. This reduces the volume of the battery housing 13, thereby improving space utilization. Furthermore, eliminating the fixing device reduces the design difficulty and cost of the battery housing 13.

[0059] In summary, the battery device described in the embodiments of this application may include at least the following advantages:

[0060] In this embodiment, by electrically connecting the cooling fan 2 to the connection terminal 10 on the battery body 1, the battery body 1 and the cooling fan 2 can be electrically connected to the electrical device through the same connection terminal 10. In this way, only one connection terminal 10 is needed to connect the battery device and the cooling fan 2 to the electrical device, reducing the installation space occupied by the connection terminal 10, improving space utilization, and thus improving the compactness and portability of the electrical device.

[0061] This application also discloses an electrical device, including: the battery device described in any of the above embodiments.

[0062] Specifically, when the connection terminal 10 on the battery body 1 is a male connection terminal, the electrical device has a female connection terminal; when the connection terminal 10 on the battery body 1 is a female connection terminal, the electrical device has a male connection terminal. The male connection terminal is inserted into the corresponding female connection terminal to electrically connect the system end of the electrical device to the battery device. Since only one connection terminal 10 needs to be set in the battery device, and only one connection terminal 10 needs to be set in the corresponding system end, compared with the solution that requires separate connection terminals 10 for the cooling fan 2 and the battery device on the system end, the number of connection terminals 10 on the system end of the electrical device can be reduced. This not only reduces the installation space occupied by the battery device, but also reduces the design difficulty and cost of the electrical device system end.

[0063] Electrical equipment may include, but is not limited to, laptops, desktop computers, mobile phones, electric vehicles, electric motorcycles, etc.

[0064] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the structure of the battery device is the same as that of the battery device in any of the above embodiments, and its beneficial effects are similar, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0065] Optionally, the electrical equipment further includes a control module electrically connected to the battery device, the control module being used to control the rotation and stop of the cooling fan 2.

[0066] Specifically, the control module is located at the system end of the electrical equipment. It is electrically connected to the battery via connection terminal 10, and further electrically connected to the cooling fan 2 via the protection board 12 and connector 21. Thus, the control module can send a control signal to the cooling fan 2 via connection terminal 10. This signal is transmitted to the fan body 20 via the protection board 12 and connector 21, controlling the fan body 20 to rotate or stop. This allows the fan body 20 to be turned on when continued cooling of the battery is needed and turned off when cooling is no longer required, achieving intelligent control.
