These embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this application and are therefore merely examples, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this application.
[0068] It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the technical or scientific terms used in the embodiments of this application should have the ordinary meaning understood by those skilled in the art to which the embodiments of this application pertain.
[0069] In the description of the embodiments of this application, the technical terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the embodiments of this application.
[0070] Furthermore, technical terms such as "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. In the description of the embodiments of this application, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly defined.
[0071] In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the technical terms such as "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0072] In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature is in indirect contact with the second feature through an intermediate medium.

[0074] The battery pack contains individual battery cells and electrical components, which control the stable and reliable power output of the battery pack. However, the reliability of the battery pack's electrical components still needs improvement.
[0075] The reason for the above problem is that the electrical components are fixed inside the enclosure.

[0095] Electrode assembly 32 is the component in the battery cell 3 where electrochemical reactions occur. The casing 31 may contain one or more electrode assemblies 32. The electrode assembly 32 is mainly formed by winding or stacking electrode sheets, which are divided into positive and negative electrode sheets, and a separator is usually provided between the positive and negative electrode sheets. The portions of the positive and negative electrode sheets containing active material constitute the electrode body, while the portions of the positive and negative electrode sheets without active material each constitute a tab.

As an example, when the housing 31 is a non-sealed structure, the housing 31 serves to protect the electrode assembly 32, and a sealing bag is also included between the housing 31 and the electrode assembly 32. The sealing bag is used to encapsulate the electrode assembly 32 and the electrolyte. Specifically, the sealing bag can be a bag-shaped insulating component or an aluminum-plastic film. When the housing 31 is a sealed structure, it is used to encapsulate the electrode assembly 32 and electrolyte, etc.

When it is necessary to encapsulate the interior of the housing 31, the end cap assembly 33 closes the housing 31.
[0104] In some embodiments, the electrode terminals can be disposed on the end cap assembly 33 or on the housing 31, and the electrode terminals are electrically connected to the electrode tabs. The electrode terminals can be directly connected to the electrode tabs or indirectly connected to the electrode tabs through an adapter mechanism.
[0105] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 This is a partial structural schematic diagram of a battery device provided in one embodiment of this application; Figure 5 yes Figure 4 Sectional view at point AA.
[0106] Firstly, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, this application provides a battery device 2, which includes a housing 21, a battery cell 3, an isolation structure 41, and electrical components 5. The housing 21 includes a housing body 211, which includes a bottom wall 213, a side wall 214, and a cavity 215 enclosed by the bottom wall 213 and the side wall 214.

At least a portion of the electrical components 5 are disposed in the receiving cavity, and the isolation structure 41 is disposed around the periphery of the electrical components 5.
[0107] In the embodiment of this application, the battery device 2 includes a housing 21, a battery cell 3, an isolation structure 41, and electrical components 5.

At least some of the electrical components 5 are disposed in the receiving cavity. In the event of liquid in the chamber 215, the receiving cavity formed by the isolation structure 41 separates the electrical components 5 from the liquid, thereby improving the problem of liquid immersion in the electrical components 5 and causing electrical component 5 failure, and improving the reliability of the battery device 2.
