Optionally, the shell cover 13 can be made of a material with certain hardness and strength (such as aluminum alloy), so that the shell cover 13 is not easy to deform when subjected to extrusion collision, so that the battery monomer 100 can have higher structural strength, and the reliability can also be improved. The pole post assembly 2 can be provided on the shell body 12 or the shell cover 13, and the pole post assembly 2 can be used to output or input the electric energy of the battery monomer 100.

The shell body 12 and the shell cover 13 can be independent components, an opening 121 can be provided on the shell body 12, the internal environment of the battery monomer 100 can be formed by covering the opening with the shell cover 13, or the shell cover 13 and the shell body 12 can be integrated, specifically, the shell cover 13 and the shell body 12 can form a common connecting surface before other components enter the shell, and when it is necessary to seal the inside of the shell body 12, the shell cover 13 covers the shell body 12.
[0110] In the embodiment of the present application, the shell assembly 1 has a receiving cavity 10, and the shell assembly 1 comprises a first shell wall 11 which participates in surrounding the receiving cavity 10; exemplarily, the pole post assembly 2 is mounted on the first shell wall 11, the first shell wall 11 has a mounting hole 111, and the pole post assembly 2 is arranged at the mounting hole 111, and the welding position R1 between the pole post assembly 2 and the first shell wall 11 is located at the hole wall position of the mounting hole 111. Wherein, "the pole post assembly 2 is mounted on the first shell wall 11" means that the pole post assembly 2 and the first shell wall 11 have an assembly connection relationship, for example, can be welded or riveted, etc. Thus, the shell assembly 1 and the pole post assembly 2 are respectively separate components, and the two are assembled and connected, so that the shell assembly 1 and the pole post assembly 2 can be separately processed, facilitating the processing of the two, and facilitating the processing and manufacturing of the battery monomer 100. Of course, in other examples, part of the shell assembly 1 and part of the pole post assembly 2 can also be an integral molded part.
[0111] The pole post assembly 2 comprises a pole post body 21 and a clamping structure 22, the clamping structure 22 clamps the pole post body 21, and the clamping structure 22 is connected with the first shell wall 11, so that the pole post body 21 is connected with the first shell wall 11 through the clamping structure 22 to realize the installation of the pole post body 21; exemplarily, the clamping structure 22 can surround the pole post body 21 along the circumference of the mounting hole 111 on the first shell wall 11, and the clamping structure 22 can connect the pole post body 21 and the first shell wall 11 at the outer peripheral region of the pole post body 21.
[0112] The battery monomer 100 comprises a first shell wall 11 and a second shell wall 12, and the first shell wall 11 and the second shell wall 12 are connected to form a receiving cavity 10. The battery monomer 100 further comprises an electrode core assembly 3 accommodated in the receiving cavity 10. The electrode core assembly 3 can be one or more, and the electrode core assembly 3 comprises an active material coated portion 31 and a conductive portion 32. The conductive portion 32 is connected to the active material coated portion 31 and the pole body 21, and realizes input or output of electric energy of the battery monomer 100. The electrode core assembly 3 comprises a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet and a separator, the separator is arranged between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet, the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet have portions with active material, which are respectively the active material coated portion 31, and portions without active material of the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet respectively constitute a tab, and the conductive portion 32 comprises the tab. In the embodiment of the present application, the connection mode between the pole body 21 and the conductive portion 32 is not specifically limited, for example, the pole body 21 and the conductive portion 32 can be welded or riveted.
[0113] Please refer to Figure 4 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 10 and Figure 12 In the embodiment of the present application, the battery monomer 100 further comprises an insulating support 4, the insulating support 4 is accommodated in the receiving cavity 10, and the insulating support 4 is arranged on the side of the active material coated portion 31 facing the first shell wall 11. The insulating support 4 is used to support the electrode core assembly 3, and the active material coated portion 31 is separated from the first shell wall 11 by the insulating support 4, so as to reduce the probability of contact between the active material coated portion 31 and the first shell wall 11, thereby reducing the risk of corrosion of the first shell wall 11 caused by exposure of the active material coated portion 31, reducing the risk of liquid leakage, and improving the reliability and stability of the battery monomer 100. It can be seen that the insulating support 4 is arranged between the active material coated portion 31 and the first shell wall 11.
[0114] The insulating support 4 comprises a support body 41, the support body 41 has a first through hole 411, and the conductive portion 32 is arranged in the first through hole 411, so that the conductive portion 32 can extend from the side of the support body 41 away from the first shell wall 11 to the side of the support body 41 facing the first shell wall 11 through the first through hole 411 to be electrically connected with the pole body 21. The support body 41 further has a supporting piece 421, and the supporting piece 421 supports the side of the conductive portion 32 facing the active material coated portion 31.
[0115] It can be seen that the support member 421 can support the conductive part 32, to some extent, can separate the conductive part 32 from the active material coating part 31, and the support member 421 can prevent the conductive part 32 from moving towards the direction close to the active material coating part 31, for example, when the conductive part 32 is subjected to an external force so that the conductive part 32 has a tendency to move towards the active material coating part 31, the support member 421 can exert a counter force on the conductive part 32 to hinder the movement tendency of the conductive part 32 towards the active material coating part 31, thereby reducing the risk of the conductive part 32 moving towards the active material coating part 31 to cause short circuit due to the reverse insertion of the active material coating part 31, and facilitating to improve the reliability of the battery monomer 100.
[0116] In the above technical solution, the support member 421 can support the conductive part 32, so as to facilitate the conductive part 32 to maintain a predetermined form, and facilitate the form and position of the conductive part 32 to be controllable, and the support member 421 can also block between a part of the conductive part 32 and the active material coating part 31, so as to reduce the probability of the conductive part 32 being reversely inserted into the active material coating part 31 due to redundancy, and improve the reliability of the battery monomer 100.
[0117] Please refer to Figure 12 , Figure 23 and Figure 25 In some embodiments, the support member 421 supports the part of the conductive part 32 penetrating the first perforation 411, for example, at least part of the support member 421 is located on the side of the first perforation 411 facing the active material coating part 31; or, the conductive part 32 includes a first segment 324 and a second segment 325, the first segment 324 is connected between the active material coating part 31 and the second segment 325, the second segment 325 penetrates the first perforation 411, and the support member 421 supports the first segment 324.
[0118] Therefore, the specific position of the support member 421 supporting the conductive part 32 has certain setting flexibility, and the support setting of the support member 421 and the penetrating arrangement of the conductive part 32 penetrating the first perforation 411 do not easily interfere with each other, facilitating the convenient assembly of the battery monomer 100.
[0119] It can be understood that when the conductive part 32 includes the tab 322 and does not include the adapter 323, the tab 322 includes the first segment 324 and the second segment 325; when the conductive part 32 includes the tab 322 and the adapter 323, the first segment 324 and the second segment 325 can be part of the tab 322, or the first segment 324 and the second segment 325 are part of the adapter 325, or the first segment 324 is part of the tab 322 and the second segment 325 is part of the adapter 323 (as shown in FIG. 4B). Figure 12The first section 324 is a part of the tab 322, and the second section 325 includes a part of the tab 322 and a part of the adapter 323, but is not limited thereto.
[0120] Please refer to Figure 6 、 Figure 10 and Figure 12 In some embodiments, the conductive part 32 includes a bent section 321 formed with an open slot 321a. Exemplarily, the bent section 321 can include a first extension section 3211, a second extension section 3212, and a transition section 3213. The first extension section 3211 and the second extension section 3212 can be oppositely arranged along the thickness direction of the first shell wall. The transition section 3213 is bently connected between the first extension section 3211 and the second extension section 3212. The first extension section 3211 and the second extension section 3212 are spaced apart from each other at the ends away from the transition section 3213 to define a slot opening of the open slot 321a.
[0121] As shown in Figure 10 and Figure 12 , the slot opening of the open slot 321a is arranged towards the side where the support 421 is located. The support 421 extends into the open slot 321a and abuts against the bent section 321. This facilitates the support 421 to support and / or press against the bent section 321, so that the bent section 321 can maintain a predetermined bent shape. This is conducive to controlling the bent shape of the conductive part 32 and the position of the bent section 321. In addition, the support 421 can block a part of the bent section 321 and the active material coating part 31, so as to reduce the probability of the conductive part 32 being inserted into the active material coating part 31 due to redundancy, reduce the risk of short circuit of the battery monomer 100, and improve the use reliability of the battery monomer 100. Exemplarily, the bent section 321 includes the first extension section 3211, the second extension section 3212, and the transition section 3213. The first extension section 3211 is located on the side of the second extension section 3212 away from the active material coating part 31. The support 421 extends into the open slot 321a to support the first extension section 3211 and / or press against the second extension section 3212.
[0122] There are also some examples, such as Figure 6As shown, the opening groove 321a is arranged on the side away from the support piece 421, and the support piece 421 is abutted on the side of the bending section 321 facing the active material coating part 31, so that the support piece 421 can also support the bending section 321, so as to keep the bending section 321 in a preset bending shape, and the bending shape of the conductive part 32 and the position of the bending section 321 can be controlled, and the support piece 421 can also block between the bending section 321 and the active material coating part 31, so as to reduce the probability of the bending section 321 being inserted into the active material coating part, and improve the reliability. For example, the bending section 321 includes a first extension section 3211, a second extension section 3212 and a transition section 3213, the first extension section 3211 is located on the side of the second extension section 3212 away from the active material coating part 31, the opening groove 321a is arranged on the side away from the support piece 421, and the support piece 421 is abutted on the side of the second extension section 3212 and / or the transition section 3213 facing the active material coating part 31.
[0123] It can be understood that in the embodiments of the present application, the support piece 421 can extend horizontally, obliquely or bent, so as to match the bending section 321. In addition, the bending section 321 can be one or more, and the opening groove 321a can be one or more, and the support piece 421 can correspond to one of the opening grooves 321a.
[0124] Please refer to Figure 4 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 12 and Figure 13 In some embodiments, the support piece 421 is cantilevered, and the fixed end of the support piece 421 is connected to the hole wall of the first through hole 411, and the free end of the support piece 421 is abutted with the bending section 321. It can be seen that the support piece 421 supports the bending section 321, and at the same time, the support piece 421 has a certain deformation ability, so that the support piece 421 can be deformed according to the position and shape of the bending section 321, and the adaptability of the support piece 421 to the bending section 321 is improved. At the same time, if the bending section 321 is arranged adjacent to the active material coating part 31, the support piece 421 can press the root of the bending section 321 adjacent to the active material coating part 31, so that the conductive part 32 can keep a preset gathering shape without spreading.
[0125] In the above scheme, the free end of the support member 421 can extend into the opening groove 321a to abut against the bent section 321; or, the opening groove 321a has its groove opening facing away from the support member 421, and the free end of the support member 421 can abut against a side of the bent section 321 away from the inner wall surface of the opening groove 321a. In addition, in the above scheme, the support member 421 is arranged in a manner facilitating the support member 421 to be integrally formed on the support body 41. Of course, the above arrangement of the support member 421 can also be achieved by connecting the support member 421 to the support body 41 through assembly means.
[0126] Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 10 , the support member 421 is cantilevered, and the conductive parts 32 of all the battery cell assemblies 3 converge and are connected, and the free end of the support member 421 abuts against the conductive parts 32 of all the battery cell assemblies 3. At this time, the support member 421 can be abutted and matched with the bent section 321 by extending into the opening groove 321a. In some examples, as shown in Figure 6 , the support member 421 is cantilevered, and the conductive parts 32 of a part of all the battery cell assemblies 3 converge and are connected, and the support member 421 abuts against the conductive parts 32 of the part of all the battery cell assemblies 3. At this time, the support member 421 can be abutted and matched with the bent section 321 by facing away from the groove opening of the opening groove 321a.
[0127] Please refer to Figure 12 , in some embodiments, the support member 421 is located on the side of the support body facing the active material coated part 31, and the two ends of the support member 421 in the width direction of the first shell wall 11 are respectively connected to the opening grooves 321a extending into different conductive parts 32. Similarly, it is also convenient to make the support member 421 conform to the position and shape of the bent section 321, improve the adaptability of the support member 421 to the bent section 321, and at the same time, the support member 421 can support multiple conductive parts 32, facilitating the flexible arrangement of the internal structure of the battery monomer 100.
[0128] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 10 and Figure 12 , in some embodiments, the battery cell assembly 3 is multiple, and the multiple battery cell assemblies 3 are arranged in sequence along the width direction of the first shell wall 11, and the battery monomer 100 is configured to satisfy any one of the following conditions A1~A2:
[0129] Condition A1, the same polarity conductive parts 32 of all the battery cell assemblies 3 converge and are connected to form a first converging part 32a, and the first converging part 32a forms a bent section 321. At this time, the support member 421 can abut against the conductive parts 32 of all the battery cell assemblies 3, facilitating the converging arrangement of the conductive parts 32 of all the battery cell assemblies 3, and being conducive to saving the number of support members 421 and simplifying the structure of the battery monomer.
[0130] It is understandable that when the battery cell 100 meets condition A1, the support member 421 can also prevent the bending segment 321 from bending in the following ways: Method 1, such as... Figure 10 As shown, the opening of the groove 321a is provided facing the side where the support member 421 is located, and the support member 421 extends into the opening groove 321a; in the second method, the opening of the groove 321a is provided facing away from the side where the support member 421 is located, and the support member 421 abuts against the side of the bent section 321 facing the active material coating part 31.
[0131] Condition A2, the electrode assembly 2 corresponds to the middle position R2 of multiple cell assemblies 3 in the width direction of the first shell wall 11. The conductive parts 32 of the same polarity of the cell assemblies 3 located on the same side of the middle position R2 converge and connect to form a second convergence part 32b. The second convergence part 32b has a bent section 321, which facilitates the distributed arrangement of the conductive parts 32 of all cell assemblies 3. It can adapt to the case where the conductive parts 32 are thick, and makes it easier to free up some space for other components.
[0132] Optionally, when the battery cell 100 meets condition A2, the support member 421 can also prevent the bending segment 321 from bending in the following ways: Method 1, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the opening of the slot 321a is positioned away from the side where the support member 421 is located. The conductive portions 32 of the battery cell assembly 3 located on the first side converge and connect to form a second gathering portion 32b. A portion of the bent section 321 of the second gathering portion 32b can extend to the second side, and the support member 421 located on the second side abuts against the bent section 321; Method 2, as shown Figure 12 As shown, the opening of the slot 321a is provided facing the side where the support member 421 is located. The conductive parts 32 of the battery cell assembly 3 located on the first side converge and connect to form a second gathering part 32b. The bent section 321 of the second gathering part 32b is located on the first side. The support member 421 extends into the opening slot 321a to stop the bent section 321.
[0133] Optionally, the middle position R2 is denoted as the first side and the second side on both sides of the width direction of the first shell wall 11, respectively: When the number of battery cell assemblies 3 is even, the middle position R2 can be located between two adjacent battery cell assemblies 3 in the middle. The conductive parts 32 of all battery cell assemblies 3 located on the first side converge and connect to form a second convergence part 32b, and the conductive parts 32 of all battery cell assemblies 3 located on the second side converge and connect to form a second convergence part 32b; When the number of battery cell assemblies 3 is odd, the middle position R2 can be located in the middle of the middle battery cell assembly 3. In this case, the conductive parts 32 of the middle battery cell assembly 3 can converge and connect to the conductive parts 32 of the battery cell assembly 3 located on the first side, or the conductive parts 32 of the middle battery cell assembly 3 can converge and connect to the conductive parts 32 of the battery cell assembly 3 located on the second side, or a portion of the conductive parts 32 of the middle battery cell assembly 3 can converge and connect to the first side and another portion can converge and connect to the second side.
[0134] Please refer to Figure 6 In some embodiments, the battery cell 100 satisfies condition A2, the middle position R2 has a first side and a second side on both sides of the first shell wall 11 in the width direction of the first shell wall 11, the support 421 is multiple, and the multiple supports 421 include a first support and a second support arranged at intervals in the length direction of the first shell wall 11 (as shown in the middle of the first support and the second support 421 can be understood as) Figure 6 The first support and the second support respectively abut the conductive part 32 of the same polarity of different cell assembly 3, the first support is located at the first side, and the second support is located at the second side. Among them, a part of the bending section 321 corresponding to the cell assembly 3 located at the first side extends to the second side of the middle position, and the second support abuts on the side of the bending section 321 corresponding to the cell assembly 3 located at the first side towards the active material coating part 31, a part of the bending section 321 corresponding to the cell assembly 3 located at the second side extends to the first side of the middle position R2, and the first support abuts on the side of the bending section 321 corresponding to the cell assembly 3 located at the second side towards the active material coating part 31. Obviously, the first support can be arranged back to the slot corresponding to the opening slot 321a, and the second support can be arranged back to the slot corresponding to the opening slot 321a.
[0135] Exemplarily, taking the cell assembly 3 as two, the first shell wall 11 width direction as left and right direction as an example, the first support is located at the left side, and the second support is located at the right side. A part of the bending section 321 of the left side cell assembly 3 extends to the right side of the middle position R2, the second support abuts on the side of the bending section 321 of the left side cell assembly 3 towards the active material coating part 31, and the first support abuts on the side of the bending section 321 of the right side cell assembly 3 towards the active material coating part 31.
[0136] In the above technical solution, by arranging the first support and the second support which are opposite in the width direction of the first shell wall 11 and staggered in the length direction of the first shell wall 11, the first support abuts the conductive part 32 of the cell assembly 3 located on one side of the middle position R2, and the second support abuts the conductive part 32 of the cell assembly 3 located on the other side of the middle position R2, so that the arrangement of the above support 421 can adapt to the arrangement requirement of the conductive part 32 of the cell assembly 3 under the premise that the support 421 can play the role of supporting and / or pressing the conductive part 32, so that the arrangement of the support 421 matches the arrangement of the conductive part 32. In addition, the arrangement of the first support and the second support can also realize the arrangement form that all the conductive parts 32 of the cell assembly 3 directly converge towards the middle position R2, which is beneficial to appropriately shorten the length of the conductive part 32, save the space occupied by the conductive part 32, reduce the redundancy of the conductive part 32, and facilitate the connection between the conductive part 32 and the pole assembly 2.
[0137] Please refer to Figure 12 In some embodiments, the battery cell 100 satisfies condition A2, the middle position R2 has a first side and a second side on both sides in the first shell wall width direction, the support piece 421 has two ends in the first shell wall width direction, and the two ends abut against the conductive parts 32 of the same polarity of different cell assemblies, one end of the support piece 421 extends into the opening slot 321a of the bending section 321 located on the first side, and the other end of the support piece 421 extends into the opening slot 321a of the bending section 321 located on the second side.
[0138] For example, taking the cell assembly 3 as two and the first shell wall 11 width direction as left and right direction as an example, the left side of the bending section 321 of the left side cell assembly 3 is located at the middle position R2, the left end of the support piece 421 extends into the opening slot 321a of the left side bending section 321, the right end of the support piece 421 extends into the opening slot 321a of the right side bending section 321, the left side bending section 321 is formed on the second gathering part 32b of the left side cell assembly 3, and the right side bending section 321 is formed on the second gathering part 32b of the right side cell assembly.
[0139] In the above technical solution, by setting the two ends of the support piece 421 to extend into different opening slots 321a in the first shell wall width direction, the conductive parts 32 of different cell assemblies 3 are abutted, which facilitates the support piece 421 to abut against the conductive parts 32 of all cell assemblies 3, facilitates the dispersed arrangement of the conductive parts 32 of all cell assemblies 3, and is beneficial to save the number of support pieces 421 and simplify the structure of the battery cell 100.
[0140] Please refer to Figure 12 In some embodiments, the two ends of the support piece 421 in the first shell wall 11 width direction extend to the end of the support body 41 and are arranged adjacent to the end of the support body 41, and the two ends of the support piece 421 and the end of the support body 41 define a second through hole 40 for the conductive part 42 to pass through.
[0141] In the above technical solution, the conductive part 32 passes through the second through hole 40, and the end of the support piece 421 and the end of the support body 41 can press and gather the conductive part 32 respectively, limit the conductive part 32, facilitate the conductive part 32 to maintain a predetermined gathering form, and because the second through hole 40 is located at the end of the support body 41, the second through hole 40 is relatively adjacent to the root position of the bending section 321 adjacent to the active material coating part 41, which is beneficial to make the root of the bending section 321 adjacent to the active material coating part 41 more compact, and facilitate to further reduce the probability of the bending section 321 to spread out.
[0142] Please refer to Figure 12 and Figures 20-27In some embodiments, the support 421 includes a first plate portion 4211 and two second plate portions 4212 respectively arranged at two ends of the first plate portion 4211, each of the second plate portions 4212 defines a second through hole 40 with the support body 41, and the two second plate portions 4212 are respectively inclined to extend towards the support body 41 in directions away from each other, so that each of the second plate portions 4212 is inclined to extend towards the support body 41 in a direction away from the other second plate portion 4212, and the distance between the second plate portion 4212 and the active material coated portion 32 increases in a direction away from the middle portion of the first shell wall 11.
[0143] In the above scheme, the two second plate portions 4212 are respectively inclined to extend towards the support body 41 in directions away from each other, so that the distance between the second plate portion 4212 and the active material coated portion 31 can adapt to the space required by the second converging portion 32b on both sides, so that the second plate portion 4212 can avoid the root of the second converging portion 32b, and at the same time, the second plate portion 4212 can press and limit the position of the root of the second converging portion 32b.
[0144] Please refer to Figure 10 In some embodiments, the insulating support 4 further includes a pressing member 422 arranged opposite to and spaced apart from the support 421, the conductive portion 32 is arranged between the support 421 and the pressing member 422, and the pressing member 422 presses the side of the conductive portion 32 facing the active material coated portion 31.
[0145] It can be seen that, by arranging the pressing member 422, the conductive portion 32 is arranged between the support 421 and the pressing member 422, and the pressing member 422 and the support 421 cooperate to converge the conductive portion 32, so as to further maintain the preset converging and extending shape of the conductive portion 32, and the conductive portion 32 is more compact, thereby further reducing the probability of the conductive portion 32 being scattered. Especially, the conductive portion 32 includes the tab 322, the tab 322 includes a plurality of tab pieces arranged in layers, and the tab 322 is arranged between the support 421 and the pressing member 422, so as to maintain the shape of the tab 322 and reduce the probability of the tab 322 being scattered.
[0146] Please refer to Figure 10 In some embodiments, the conductive portion 32 includes a bent segment 321, the bent segment 321 is formed with an open slot 321a, the support 421 corresponding to the pressing member 422 extends into the open slot 321a, and the support 421 corresponding to the pressing member 422 abuts against the bent segment 321, and the pressing member 422 abuts against the side of the bent segment 321 away from the active material coated portion 31.
[0147] In the technical solution, the pressing part 422 cooperates with the supporting part 421, the supporting part 421 extends into the opening groove 321a, and the supporting part 421 is arranged on the side of the bending section 321 away from the active material coating part 31, so that a part of the bending section 321 is limited between the supporting part 421 and the pressing part 422. The pressing part 422 and the supporting part 421 cooperate to gather the bending section 321, so as to further make the bending section 321 maintain the preset gathered and bent shape, and the bending section 321 is gathered more tightly, thereby further reducing the probability of the bending section 321 being scattered. It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the pressing part 422 can extend horizontally, obliquely or bent, so as to match the bending section 321.
[0148] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 10 and Figure 13 In some embodiments, the support body 41 and the supporting part 421 are integrated, which is convenient for saving the assembly process of the support body 41 and the supporting part 421, and is conducive to improving the assembly efficiency of the battery monomer 100, and is convenient for realizing reliable connection of the support body 41 and the supporting part 421. Alternatively, please refer to Figure 12 and Figures 23-27 In some embodiments, the support body 41 and the supporting part 421 are separate parts, and are fixed by heat melting, clamping or gluing, which is convenient for improving the flexibility of the structure design of the two parts. Exemplarily, the supporting part 421 is formed with a buckle 4210, and the support body 41 is formed with a clamping hole, and the buckle 4210 is clamped in the clamping hole.
[0149] It can be understood that in any embodiment of the present application, the conductive part 32 can adopt any of the following forms: form one, the conductive part 32 includes a tab and an adapter, the tab is connected to one end of the active material coating part 31 facing the first shell wall 11, and the tab includes a plurality of tab pieces stacked, and the adapter is connected between the tab and the pole body 21, and if the conductive part 32 is formed with a bending section 321, the bending section 321 can be defined by the tab and / or the adapter; form two, the conductive part 32 includes a tab and does not include an adapter, the tab is connected to one end of the active material coating part 31 facing the first shell wall 11 and the pole body 21, and if the conductive part 32 is formed with a bending section 321, the bending section 321 can be defined by the tab.
[0150] In some embodiments, the support body 41 and the pressing part 422 are integrated or separate parts; when the support body 41 and the pressing part 422 are separate parts, the two parts are fixed by heat melting, clamping or gluing.
[0151] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 8 The clamping structure 22 is integrally formed on the first shell wall 11; or as shown in Figure 6 , Figure 10and Figure 12 As shown, the clamping structure 22 is welded and fixed with the first shell wall 11. In this way, the connection mode of the clamping structure 22 and the first shell wall 11 is flexible to meet different actual needs.
[0152] It can be understood that, in any embodiment of the present application, the clamping cooperation between the clamping structure 22 and the pole body 21 can include but is not limited to: the inner periphery of the clamping structure 22 is formed with a clamping groove, and the outer peripheral wall of the pole body 21 is formed with an outer protrusion, and the outer protrusion is matched in the clamping groove; the inner periphery of the clamping structure 22 is formed with a clamping protrusion, and the outer peripheral wall of the pole body 21 is formed with a clamping groove, and the clamping protrusion is matched in the clamping groove.
[0153] Please refer to Figure 4 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 10 and Figure 13 In some embodiments, the support body 41 further has a separation portion 412 which is arranged around the first through hole 411, and the separation portion 412 is formed as an annular structure. The clamping structure 22 is welded and fixed with the first shell wall 11, and the welding position R1 of the clamping structure 22 and the first shell wall 11 is opposite to the separation portion 412 along the thickness direction of the first shell wall 11, so that the separation portion 411 separates the above welding position R1 of the clamping structure 22 from the active material coating portion 31. During the assembly or use of the battery monomer 100, the separation portion 412 can receive the welding slag at the welding position R1 to prevent the welding slag from falling on the active material coating portion 31, reduce the possibility of the welding slag piercing the active material coating portion 31, reduce the possibility of the welding slag piercing the pole piece and the isolation film, and improve the reliability of the battery monomer 100.
[0154] It can be understood that the welding position R1 of the pole assembly 2 and the first shell wall 11 can be located on the clamping structure 22 and on the outer peripheral side of the pole body 21, rather than on the pole body 21, so as to facilitate the dispersed arrangement of the connection of the pole body 21 with other components, facilitate the pole body 21 to provide a suitable position and a suitable size of the area for electrical connection with the conductive part 32, be conducive to reducing the influence on the electrical connection between the pole body 21 and the conductive part 32, and be conducive to improving the connection reliability of the pole body 21 and the conductive part 32.
[0155] It can be seen that part of the support body 41 can realize the physical isolation of the welding position R1 of the clamping structure 22 and the active material coating portion 31, so that the battery monomer 100 does not need to additionally separately arrange other components to separate the above welding position R1 from the active material coating portion 31, and the structure of the battery monomer 100 is facilitated to be simplified.
[0156] In the above technical solution, the partition portion 412 is arranged on the support body 41 between the first shell wall 11 and the active material coated portion 31, the partition portion 412 is arranged around the first through hole 411 for the conductive portion 32 to pass through, and the welding position R1 of the pole assembly 2 and the first shell wall 11 is opposite to the partition portion 412, so that the partition portion 412 separates the welding position R1 from the active material coated portion 31. Therefore, during the assembly process or the use process of the battery monomer 100, the partition portion 412 can receive the welding slag at the welding position R1 to prevent the welding slag from falling onto the active material coated portion 31, reduce the possibility of the welding slag piercing the active material coated portion 31, reduce the possibility of the welding slag piercing the pole piece and the isolation film, and improve the reliability of the battery monomer 100.
[0157] It can be understood that in the embodiments of the present application, no matter what structure the partition portion 412 is formed into, during the assembly process of the battery monomer 100, the welding slag generated when the clamping structure 22 and the first shell wall 11 are welded has a high temperature, and when the welding slag falls onto the partition portion 412, the welding slag can be embedded on the partition portion 412 under the action of gravity and temperature. In the subsequent use process, the welding slag embedded in the partition portion 412 is not easy to fall off and does not easily affect the normal use of the battery monomer 100. For example, the support body 41 is a plastic part.
[0158] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 10 and Figure 13 In some embodiments, the partition portion 412 has an annular groove 412a, and the side of the groove 412a facing the welding position R1 is arranged in an open manner. In the above solution, by arranging the groove 412a on the partition portion 412 in an open manner on the side facing the welding position R1, the welding slag can fall into the groove 412a from the open side of the groove 412a, and the groove wall of the groove 412a can limit and guide the welding slag falling into it. At the same time, the arrangement of the groove 412a is beneficial to improve the collection capacity of the partition portion 412 for the welding slag, and is beneficial to further reduce the probability of the welding slag falling onto the active material coated portion 31 and improve the reliability of the battery monomer 100. Of course, the structure of the partition portion 412 is not limited to this. In other embodiments of the present application, the partition portion 412 can also be formed into a flat plate structure, so that the structure of the partition portion 412 is simple and easy to process.
[0159] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 10 and Figure 13In some embodiments, the partition 412 includes a first portion 4121 opposite the welding position R1 along the thickness direction of the first shell wall 11, and a second portion 4122 bently connected to one end of the first portion 4121 away from the central axis L of the first through hole 411 and extending toward the welding position R1.
[0160] As can be seen, in the longitudinal section of the partition 412, the first portion 4121 and the second portion 4122 are substantially L-shaped structures, and the first portion 4121 and the second portion 4122 have the groove 412a, the radially inner side of the groove 412a is also open, and the longitudinal section of the partition 412 passes through the central axis of the first through hole 411. For example, taking the first shell wall 11 as the top wall of the shell assembly 1 and the thickness direction of the first shell wall 11 as the up-down direction, the first portion 4121 is arranged around the first through hole 411, and the first portion 4121 is arranged below the welding position R1 between the clamping structure 22 and the first shell wall 11, and the second portion 4122 is arranged around the outer periphery of the first portion 4121, and the second portion 4122 extends upward from the outer periphery of the first portion 4121.
[0161] In the above technical solution, by arranging the partition 412 to include the first portion 4121 and the second portion 4122, and the first portion 4121 connected to one end of the second portion 4122 away from the welding position R1, the processing of the partition 412 is facilitated, and the forming of the groove 412a is facilitated.
[0162] For reference Figure 4 and Figure 13 In some embodiments, the first shell wall 11 is formed with a liquid injection hole 113, and the support body 41 is formed with a liquid injection channel 413, the liquid injection channel 413 penetrates through the support body 41 toward one side surface of the first shell wall 11 to form a liquid inlet 413a, the liquid inlet 413a is opposite to the liquid injection hole 113, at least one side of the liquid injection channel 413 toward the active material coating portion 31 is at least partially closed, and the side wall of the liquid injection channel 413 is formed with a liquid outlet 413b, and / or the side wall of the liquid injection channel 413 toward the active material coating portion 31 is formed with a liquid outlet 413b, and the liquid outlet 413b is communicated with the space between the support body 41 and the active material coating portion 31.
[0163] The active material coating part 31 is a key component of the battery cell assembly 3, and contains active materials participating in the chemical reaction of the battery. These active materials usually exist in the form of a coating on the battery cell assembly 3, and the coating plays a decisive role in the capacity, cycle life and performance of the battery cell 100. The liquid injection channel 413 communicates with the liquid injection hole 113 through the liquid inlet 413a, and the liquid injection channel 413 communicates with the space where the active material coating part 31 is located through the liquid outlet 413b. The liquid injection channel 413 communicates with both sides of the first shell wall 11 in the thickness direction of the support body 41. The liquid injection tool can be fitted at the liquid injection hole 113 to inject electrolyte into the containing cavity 10 through the liquid injection channel 413. Since the side of the liquid injection channel 413 facing the active material coating part 31 is at least partially closed, the electrolyte flows into the battery cell 100 in a gentler manner after passing through the liquid injection channel 413. The electrolyte first contacts the bottom wall of the side of the liquid injection channel 413 facing the active material coating part 31 during the injection process, and then flows to the liquid outlet 413b to complete the injection by flowing to the side of the support body 41 facing the active material coating part 31. The bottom wall of the liquid injection channel 413 can effectively slow down the flow rate and impact force of the electrolyte, so that the electrolyte does not directly impact the active material coating part 31, thereby affecting the integrity of the coating of the active material coating part 31, and improving the service life and use reliability of the battery cell 100.
[0164] It can be understood that if the side of the liquid injection channel 413 facing the active material coating part 31 is partially closed, the unsealed part of the side of the liquid injection channel 413 facing the active material coating part 31 forms an un-outlet 413b. At this time, the side wall of the liquid injection channel 413 facing the active material coating part 31 forms the liquid outlet 413b. Whether the liquid outlet 413b is formed on the peripheral wall of the liquid injection channel 413 is also acceptable. If the side of the liquid injection channel 413 facing the active material coating part 31 is fully closed, the liquid outlet 413b is formed on the peripheral wall of the liquid injection channel 413.
[0165] In the above technical solution, the liquid injection hole 113 is provided on the first shell wall 11, and the liquid injection channel 413 is provided on the support body 41, so that electrolyte can be injected into the containing cavity 10 through the liquid injection hole 113 and the liquid injection channel 413. Of course, if the sealing structure at the liquid injection hole 113 is configured to open the liquid injection hole 113, the electrolyte in the containing cavity 10 can also be discharged through the liquid injection hole 113 and the liquid injection channel 413. Moreover, since the side of the liquid injection channel 413 facing the active material coating part 31 is at least partially closed, the closed part of the side of the liquid injection channel 413 facing the active material coating part 31 can block the electrolyte during the injection process, so that the electrolyte does not directly impact the active material coating part 31, which is beneficial to improve the use reliability of the battery cell 100.
[0166] Optionally, the liquid injection channel 413 has a peripheral wall and a bottom wall, at least part of the peripheral wall and the bottom wall are located on the side of the support body 41 facing the active material coating part 31, and the liquid outlet 413b can be formed on the peripheral wall and / or the bottom wall of the liquid injection channel 413; for example, the liquid outlet 413b is formed on the bottom wall of the liquid injection channel 413, and there are two liquid outlets 413b, which are arranged at intervals and are separated by the bottom wall of the liquid injection channel 413. When the staff performs the liquid injection operation, the bottom wall can block the impact of the injected electrolyte on the active material coating part 31, and slow down the flow rate and impact force of the electrolyte, so that the protection effect of the active material coating part 31 is better.
[0167] Please refer to Figure 13 In some embodiments, the support body 41 further comprises a support part 414 and a connecting part 415, the thickness t2 of the support part 414 is greater than the thickness t1 of the connecting part 415 in the thickness direction of the first shell wall 11, so that the support part 414 protrudes from the connecting part 415 towards the active material coating part 31, there are n support parts 414, and the plurality of support parts 414 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the first shell wall 11, n≥3 and n is a positive integer, the connecting part 415 is connected between any two adjacent support parts 414, the support part 414 abuts between the first shell wall 11 and the active material coating part 31, and the first perforation 411 is formed on the connecting part 415.
[0168] It can be seen that the support part 414 can be supported between the first shell wall 11 and the active material coating part 31 to reliably separate the first shell wall 11 from the active material coating part 31, so as to improve the insulation performance between the first shell wall 11 and the active material coating part 31, and at the same time, the support part 414 can play a certain supporting role on the active material coating part 31, which is beneficial to improve the setting stability and reliability of the battery cell assembly 3 and reduce the risk of shaking or displacement of the battery cell assembly 3; at the same time, the number of support parts 414 is greater than or equal to 3, which can realize multi-section support setting of the support body 41, form multiple support points between the first shell wall 11 and the active material coating part 31, so as to disperse and bear the stress generated by the active material coating part 31 due to deformation and the like during charging and discharging, which is beneficial to reduce the deformation of the first shell wall 11, maintain the overall shape of the battery monomer 100, thereby facilitating to enhance the structural stability and dimensional stability of the battery monomer 100, and is beneficial to reduce the risk of damage of the battery cell assembly 3; and the support part 414 is protruded from the connecting part 415 towards the active material coating part 31, so that the connecting part 415 can be spaced apart from the active material coating part 31, and the first perforation 411 and the partition part 412 are both formed on the connecting part 415, so that the support points between the first shell wall 11 and the active material coating part 31 can be arranged away from the conductive part 32, and the space between the connecting part 415 and the active material coating part 31 can provide a certain space for the arrangement of the conductive part 32.
[0169] In the above technical solution, by arranging three or more support parts 414, and protruding the support part 414 from the connecting part 415 towards the active material coating part 31, the support body 41 can form multiple support points between the first shell wall 11 and the active material coating part 31, improve the insulation between the first shell wall 11 and the active material coating part 31, and facilitate to enhance the structural stability and dimensional stability of the battery monomer 100, reduce the risk of damage of the battery cell assembly 3, and facilitate to provide space for the arrangement of the conductive part 32; in addition, the support body 41 and the battery cell assembly 3 have a suitable stop area, which is not too large to easily affect the smoothness of the exhaust when the battery cell assembly 3 is in thermal runaway, and the stop area is not too small to easily damage the battery cell assembly 3, which is beneficial to improve the reliability of the battery monomer 100.
[0170] It can be understood that when the support body 41 also has a partition part 412, the partition part 412 can also be formed on the connecting part 415.
[0171] Please refer to Figure 13In some embodiments, the plurality of support portions 414 includes a first support portion 4141, a second support portion 4142, and a third support portion 4143. The first support portion 4141 and the second support portion 4142 are respectively located at two ends of the length direction of the support body 41. The third support portion 4143 is arranged between the first support portion 4141 and the second support portion 4142. In the embodiments of the present application, the length direction of the support body 41 is the length direction of the first shell wall 11, the thickness direction of the support body 41 is the thickness direction of the first shell wall 11, and the width direction of the support body 41 is the width direction of the first shell wall 11.
[0172] In the above technical solution, by arranging the first support portion 4141 and the second support portion 4142 at two ends of the length direction of the support body 41, and arranging the third support portion 4143 between the first support portion 4141 and the second support portion 4142, the support body 41 can support the battery cell assembly 3 at both ends and the middle position of the length direction, and has a large support range, which is beneficial to improve the stability of the support body 41 and realize stable support of the battery cell assembly 3.
[0173] For reference Figures 13-16 In some embodiments, at least one support portion 414 is formed with a weight-reducing structure 4144. The number of support portions 414 formed with the weight-reducing structure 4144 is less than or equal to the total number of all support portions 414.
[0174] In the above technical solution, by arranging the weight-reducing structure 4144 on at least one support portion 414, the material consumption of the support body 41 is saved, the weight of the support body 41 is reduced, and the volume of the support body 41 is saved, thereby reducing the occupation of the insulating support 4 to the accommodation cavity 10, thereby reducing the weight of the battery monomer 100 and improving the energy density of the battery monomer 100.
[0175] In the embodiments of the present application, the specific structure of the weight-reducing structure 4144 is not limited, and the weight-reducing structure 4144 can include at least one structure such as a groove or a hole. It can be understood that when at least two of the plurality of support portions 414 are formed with the weight-reducing structure 4144, the structure of the weight-reducing structure 4144 on different support portions 414 can be the same or different.
[0176] Exemplarily, as Figures 13-16As shown, the plurality of support portions 414 include a first support portion 4141, a second support portion 4142, and a third support portion 4143, the first support portion 4141 and the second support portion 4142 are respectively located at both ends of the length of the support body 41, and the third support portion 4143 is arranged between the first support portion 4141 and the second support portion 4142, and the first support portion 4141, the second support portion 4142, and the third support portion 4143 are respectively formed with a weight-reducing structure 4144. Optionally, the weight-reducing structure 4144 on the first support portion 4141 and the weight-reducing structure 4144 on the second support portion 4142 are of the same structure, both of which include the discharge channel 4144a and the weight-reducing hole 4144b described below; the weight-reducing structure 4144 on the third support portion 4143 includes the discharge channel 4144a but does not include the weight-reducing hole 4144b.
[0177] Please refer to Figures 13-16 In some embodiments, the weight-reducing structure 4144 includes the discharge channel 4144a, and the discharge channel 4144a extends along the length direction of the first shell wall 11 to opposite sides of the portion of the corresponding support portion 414 protruding from the connecting portion 415, so that in the length direction of the first shell wall 11, the discharge channel 4144a can communicate the opposite sides of the support portion 414, so that when the battery monomer 100 is in thermal runaway, the discharge produced inside the battery monomer 100 can flow from one side of the support portion 414 to the other side through the discharge channel 4144a to flow towards the pressure relief valve of the battery monomer 100, which is conducive to improving the smoothness and reliability of the pressure relief of the battery monomer 100; and / or, the weight-reducing structure 4144 includes the weight-reducing hole 4144b, and the weight-reducing hole 4144b is closed at both ends in the length direction of the first shell wall 11, so that the portion of the support portion 414 defining the hole wall of the weight-reducing hole 4144b at both ends in the length direction of the first shell wall 11 can abut between the first shell wall 11 and the active material coating portion 31, so that the arrangement of the weight-reducing hole 4144b does not easily weaken the supporting effect of the support portion 414, and the support portion 414 reliably supports the active material coating portion 31.
[0178] In the above technical solution, by arranging the weight-reducing structure 4144 to include the discharge channel 4144a, the discharge channel 4144a can not only achieve lightweight design of the insulating support 4, but also achieve smooth pressure relief of the battery monomer 100, one thing with multiple uses; by arranging the weight-reducing structure 4144 to include the weight-reducing hole 4144b, the weight-reducing hole 4144b can not only achieve lightweight design of the insulating support 4, but also will not have a great impact on the supporting effect of the support portion 414. In addition, the arrangement of the discharge channel 4144a can appropriately increase the width of the support portion 414 to some extent, for example, the width of the support portion 414 can be equal to the width of the connecting portion 415, so as to facilitate the support portion 414 to support the entire battery cell assembly 3 in the width direction.
[0179] It can be understood that, for the discharge channel 4144a, the discharge channel 4144a can extend linearly or curvilinearly along the length direction of the first shell wall 11. Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 14 the discharge channel 4144a extends along the length direction of the first shell wall 11 to the opposite sides of the portion of the corresponding support part 414 protruding from the connecting part 415, so that the two ends of the discharge channel 4144a are formed into a first communication port and a second communication port respectively, and the first communication port and the second communication port are formed on the two sides of the support part 414 in the length direction of the first shell wall 11.
[0180] It can be understood that, when the weight reduction structure 4144 includes the discharge channel 4144a and the weight reduction hole 4144b, the light weight design of the insulation support 4 can be realized, and at the same time, the smooth pressure relief of the battery monomer 100 and the support effect of the support part 414 on the first shell wall 11 and the active material coating part 31 can be considered.
[0181] Please refer to Figures 13-16 In some embodiments, the weight reduction structure 4144 includes the discharge channel 4144a and the weight reduction hole 4144b, at least one of the discharge channel 4144a and the weight reduction hole 4144b is multiple, and the discharge channel 4144a and the weight reduction hole 4144b are alternately arranged in the width direction of the first shell wall 11.
[0182] Exemplarily, the discharge channel 4144a is two, the weight reduction hole 4144b is one, and the weight reduction hole 4144b is arranged between the two discharge channels 4144a in the width direction of the first shell wall 11; or the weight reduction hole 4144b is two, the discharge channel 4144a is one, and the discharge channel 4144a is arranged between the two weight reduction holes 4144b in the width direction of the first shell wall 11; or the discharge channel 4144a and the weight reduction hole 4144b are multiple respectively, and one weight reduction hole 4144b is arranged between the two adjacent discharge channels 4144a and one discharge channel 4144a is arranged between the two adjacent weight reduction holes 4144b in the width direction of the first shell wall 11.
[0183] It can be understood that, when the discharge channel 4144a extends along the length direction of the first shell wall 11 to the opposite sides of the portion of the corresponding support part 414 protruding from the connecting part 415, the support strength of the portion of the support part 414 defining the two ends of the discharge channel 4144a in the length direction of the first shell wall 11, such as the portion of the support part 414 defining the first communication port and the second communication port described above, is relatively weak, and the two ends of the weight reduction hole 4144b in the length direction of the first shell wall 11 are closed, so that the support strength of the portion of the support part 414 defining the hole walls of the two ends of the weight reduction hole 4144b in the length direction of the first shell wall 11 is relatively strong.
[0184] In the technical solution, the discharge channels 4144a and the weight-reducing holes 4144b are alternately arranged in the width direction of the first shell wall 11, so that the distribution balance of the support strength of the support portions 414 at both ends of the first shell wall 11 in the length direction of the first shell wall 11 is improved, the overall support strength of the support portions 414 at both ends of the first shell wall 11 in the length direction of the first shell wall 11 is improved, and the support portions 414 can reliably support the battery cell assembly 3 and simultaneously meet the weight-reducing requirement and the pressure relief requirement.
[0185] Please refer to Figure 13 and Figure 14 In some embodiments, the weight-reducing structure 4144 includes the discharge channels 4144a and the weight-reducing holes 4144b, and the sides of the discharge channels 4144a and the weight-reducing holes 4144b away from the active material coated portion 31 are open, and the sides of the discharge channels 4144a and the weight-reducing holes 4144b toward the active material coated portion 31 are closed. For example, the discharge channels 4144a and the weight-reducing holes 4144b can be formed by recessing a portion of the side of the support body 41 toward the first shell wall 11 toward the active material coated portion 31.
[0186] In the technical solution, the sides of the discharge channels 4144a and the weight-reducing holes 4144b away from the active material coated portion 31 are open, and the sides of the discharge channels 4144a and the weight-reducing holes 4144b toward the active material coated portion 31 are closed, which facilitates the processing of the discharge channels 4144a and the weight-reducing holes 4144b. Moreover, the portion of the support body 41 that defines the closed side of the weight-reducing structure can be arranged on the same side of the weight-reducing structure in the thickness direction of the first shell wall 11. For example, when the support body 41 is an integral molding part, such as an injection molded support body 41, the mold that defines the discharge channels 4144a and the weight-reducing holes 4144b is at least partially located on the same side of the mold cavity, which facilitates the assembly and arrangement of the mold and facilitates the disassembly of the mold on the same side after molding, thereby improving the operation convenience. For another example, when the weight-reducing structure 4144 is formed by machining, the machining tool can process the discharge channels 4144a and the weight-reducing holes 4144b on the same side without needing to flip the workpiece, thereby improving the processing efficiency.
[0187] Please refer to Figures 13-17 In some embodiments, the portion of the support portions 414 corresponding to the sides of the discharge channels 4144a and the weight-reducing holes 4144b toward the active material coated portion 31 is flush with the portion of the support portions 414 that defines the closed side of the discharge channels 4144a toward the active material coated portion 31 and the portion of the support portions 414 that defines the closed side of the weight-reducing holes 4144b toward the active material coated portion 31.
[0188] Specifically, the support portion 414 can include a first portion 4121 enclosing a side of the exhaust passage facing the active material coating portion 31, and a second portion 4122 enclosing a side of the weight-reducing hole 4144b facing the active material coating portion 31, and the side surface of the first portion 4121 facing the active material coating portion 31 and the side surface of the second portion 4122 facing the active material coating portion 31 are in the same plane.
[0189] In the above technical solution, by setting the support portion 414 to be flush with the portion of the exhaust passage 4144a and the weight-reducing hole 4144b facing the active material coating portion 31, it is convenient to make the support portion 414 provide a larger and flat surface on the side facing the active material coating portion 31, and the support portion 414 is not easily affected by the setting of the exhaust passage 4144a and the weight-reducing hole 4144b to support the battery cell assembly 3, which is beneficial to improve the supporting effect of the support portion 414 on the battery cell assembly 3.
[0190] For reference Figures 13-16 In some embodiments, the weight-reducing structure 4144 is formed with a communication hole 4145 that communicates the opposite sides of the support portion 414 in the thickness direction of the first shell wall 11, that is, the communication hole 4145 penetrates the support portion 414 in the thickness direction of the first shell wall 11, and the electrolyte on the opposite sides of the support portion 414 in the thickness direction of the first shell wall 11 can flow through the communication hole 4145, and the electrolyte on the side of the support portion 414 away from the active material coating portion 31 can flow to the side where the active material coating portion 31 is located through the communication hole 4145 to soak the active material coating portion 31, so that the electrolyte on the side of the support portion 414 away from the active material coating portion 31 can also be fully utilized, which is beneficial to improve the cycle performance of the battery cell assembly 3 and improve the use reliability of the battery monomer 100.
[0191] In the above technical solution, by setting the support portion 414 to be flush with the portion of the exhaust passage 4144a and the weight-reducing hole 4144b facing the active material coating portion 31, it is convenient to make the support portion 414 provide a larger and flat surface on the side facing the active material coating portion 31, and the support portion 414 is not easily affected by the setting of the exhaust passage 4144a and the weight-reducing hole 4144b to support the battery cell assembly 3, which is beneficial to improve the supporting effect of the support portion 414 on the battery cell assembly 3.
[0192] In the technical solution, the electrolyte on the side of the support part 414 away from the active material coating part 31 can flow to the side where the active material coating part 31 is located through the communication hole 4145 to soak the active material coating part 31, so as to fully utilize the electrolyte in the accommodation cavity 10. Meanwhile, the communication hole 4145 is formed on the weight-reducing structure 4144 to fully utilize the space provided by the support part 414, which is beneficial to save the occupied space of the support part 414. In combination with the arrangement mode that the weight-reducing structure 4144 is closed on one side in the thickness direction of the first shell wall 11 and the communication hole 4145 is formed on the closed side, the weight-reducing structure 4144 and the communication hole 4145 are conveniently formed.
[0193] It can be understood that, for the discharge channel 4144a, the discharge channel 4144a is closed on one side in the thickness direction of the first shell wall 11. The discharge channel 4144a can be arranged in the following two modes. Figure 14 As shown in the first mode, the discharge channel 4144a is closed on the side away from the first shell wall 11 in the thickness direction of the first shell wall 11 and is open on the side facing the first shell wall 11 in the thickness direction of the first shell wall 11. At this time, the discharge channel 4144a can be formed by recessing a part of the side surface of the support body 41 away from the first shell wall 11 towards the first shell wall 11. If the discharge channel 4144a is formed with the communication hole 4145, the communication hole 4145 penetrates the closed side of the discharge channel 4144a.
[0194] Similarly, for the weight-reducing hole 4144b, the arrangement mode thereof cooperates with the discharge channel 4144a in a similar manner to the communication hole 4145, which will not be described herein again. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the communication hole 4145 on the support part 414 can also be formed at other positions of the support part 414, for example, the communication hole 4145 is arranged separately from the weight-reducing structure 4144, and is not limited to being arranged on the weight-reducing structure 4144.
[0195] Please refer toFigures 13-16 In some embodiments, the plurality of support portions 414 includes a first support portion 4141, a second support portion 4142, and a third support portion 4143, the first support portion 4141 and the second support portion 4142 are respectively located at both ends of the length of the support body 41, and the third support portion 4143 is spaced between the first support portion 4141 and the second support portion 4142; the first shell wall 11 is provided with a pressure relief structure 5, the third support portion 4143 is opposite to the pressure relief structure 5, and the third support portion 4143 is formed with a discharge channel 4144a and a communication hole 4145. Since the communication hole 4145 penetrates through the closed side of the discharge channel 4144a in the thickness direction of the first shell wall 11, the discharge channel 4144a on the third support portion 4143 can communicate the two sides of the third support portion 4143 in the length direction of the first shell wall 11 with the pressure relief structure 5, and the communication hole 4145 on the third support portion 4143 can communicate the side of the third support portion 4143 facing the active material coating portion 31 with the pressure relief structure 5, so that multiple sides of the third support portion 4143 can be communicated to the pressure relief structure 5, which is beneficial to improve the smoothness of the pressure relief of the battery monomer 100.
[0196] Moreover, each of the first support portion 4141 and the second support portion 4142 is respectively formed with a discharge channel 4144a, a weight-reducing hole 4144b, and a communication hole 4145, so as to enrich the functions of the first support portion 4141 and the second support portion 4142 on the premise of reliably supporting the battery cell assembly 3, which is beneficial to improve the reliability of the battery monomer 100.
[0197] Exemplarily, the structure of the first support portion 4141 is the same as that of the second support portion 4142; the following will be described by taking the first support portion 4141 as an example: the discharge channel 4144a and the weight-reducing hole 4144b on the first support portion 4141 are multiple, and the multiple discharge channels 4144a and the multiple weight-reducing holes 4144b are alternately arranged in the width direction of the first shell wall 11, the side of each discharge channel 4144a away from the active material coating portion 31 is open, and the side of each discharge channel 4144a facing the active material coating portion 31 is closed, the side of each weight-reducing hole 4144b away from the active material coating portion 31 is open, and the side of each weight-reducing hole 4144b facing the active material coating portion 31 is closed, the part of the first support portion 4141 corresponding to the side of the discharge channel 4144a and the weight-reducing hole 4144b facing the active material coating portion 31 is flush, and the communication hole 4145 on the first support portion 4141 is formed on the closed side of the weight-reducing hole 4144b.
[0198] Please refer to Figure 4In some embodiments, the pole post assembly 2 further comprises an insulation structure 23, which is fitted between the clamping structure 22 and the pole post body 21. The insulation structure 23 can insulate the clamping structure 22 and the pole post body 21 at the fitted positions of the two, preventing the pole post body 21 and the clamping structure 22 from conducting short circuit.
[0199] In the above technical solution, the pole post assembly 2 is simple in structure and easy to process. Since the pole post assembly 2 comprises the pole post body 21 and the clamping structure 22, the shape and size of the pole post body 21 and the shape and size of the clamping structure 22 can be designed separately based on different factors, so as to flexibly adapt to the connection requirements of different forms of the shell assembly 1 and the battery cell assembly 3, and increase the application range of the pole post assembly 2.
[0200] Optionally, as shown in Figure 7 , the insulation structure 23 further comprises an insulation piece 232, the clamping structure 22 comprises a first adapter ring 221 and a second adapter ring 222, the second adapter ring 222 is arranged on the side of the first adapter ring 221 away from the battery cell assembly 3, the second adapter ring 222 is connected with the first adapter ring 221, the first adapter ring 221 is connected with the first shell wall 111, and the sealing structure 231 is clamped between the first adapter ring 221 and the peripheral portion of the pole post body 21. The second adapter ring 222 is insulated and fixedly fitted with the peripheral portion 212 through the insulation piece 232.
[0201] Thus, the clamping structure 22 comprises the first adapter ring 221 and the second adapter ring 222 arranged inside and outside and assembled and connected, so as to facilitate the assembly and connection of the clamping structure 22 with the insulation structure 23 and the pole post body 21, make the pole post assembly 2 easy to process and manufacture, and easily control the compression amount of the sealing structure 231, thereby improving the sealing reliability.
[0202] Please refer to Figure 10 again, for example, the clamping structure 22 further comprises an insulation frame 223, which is connected to the side of the first adapter ring 221 facing the battery cell assembly 3. Thus, the insulation frame 223 can play an insulating role between the battery cell assembly 3 and the first adapter ring 221, reducing the difficulty of setting the insulation structure here. For example, the insulation frame 223 has a latch, and the first adapter ring 221 has a socket, the latch is inserted into the socket in interference fit, so as to realize the connection of the insulation frame 223 and the first adapter ring 221.
[0203] For example, when the pole post assembly 2 comprises the pole post body 21, the clamping structure 22 and the insulation structure 23, during the assembly of the battery monomer 100, the “connecting the battery cell assembly 3 with the pole post assembly 2” can specifically comprise: connecting the battery cell assembly 3 with the pole post body 21; arranging the pole post assembly 2 connected with the battery cell assembly 3 at the mounting hole 111, and connecting the clamping structure 22 with the first shell wall 11.
[0204] Please refer to Figures 6-7 In some embodiments, the insulation structure 23 is also sealingly fitted between the clamping structure 22 and the pole body 21. In this way, the insulation structure 23 not only insulates the clamping structure 22 from the pole body 21, but also makes the fitting position of the clamping structure 22 and the pole body 21 in a sealed state, so as to isolate the inside and outside of the shell assembly 1 after the clamping structure 22 is connected to the first shell wall 11, reduce the risk of leakage of the electrolyte in the shell assembly 1 from the fitting position of the clamping structure 22 and the pole body 21 to the outside of the shell assembly 1, and reduce the risk of liquid or dust from the outside of the shell assembly 1 entering the shell assembly 1 from the fitting position of the clamping structure 22 and the pole body 21, thereby improving the reliability of the battery monomer 100.
[0205] In the above technical solution, since the insulation structure 23 is also sealingly fitted between the clamping structure 22 and the pole body 21, when the pole assembly 2 is installed to the first shell wall 11 and the clamping structure 22 is connected to the first shell wall 11, no sealing member 231 or the like is needed to be arranged between the clamping structure 22 and the first shell wall 11, and no large sealing pressure needs to be applied to meet the compression degree of the sealing member 231 at this position, thereby reducing the stress on the first shell wall 11 and protecting the shell assembly 1, thereby facilitating the reduction of the wall thickness of the shell assembly 1 and the reduction of the material cost. Moreover, since the first shell wall 11 is the end of the shell body 12 opposite to the opening 121, the stress at the connection between the first shell wall 11 and the second shell wall 114 can be reduced, and the stress on the second shell wall 114 can be reduced, thereby facilitating the reliability of the shell body 12 and the reduction of the wall thickness and cost of the shell body 12.
[0206] Please refer to Figure 7 In some embodiments of the present application, the insulation structure 23 includes a sealing member 231. In embodiments of the present application, the sealing member 231 is made of a material that has both sealing and insulating properties, for example, an elastic rubber member. Please refer to Figure 7 For example, at least part of the sealing member 231 is clamped between the clamping structure 22 and the pole body 21 in the thickness direction of the first shell wall 11.
[0207] In embodiments of the present application, the direction from the inside of the first shell wall 11 to the outside of the first shell wall 11, and the direction from the outside of the first shell wall 11 to the inside of the first shell wall 11, are collectively referred to as the "thickness direction of the first shell wall 11". The "inside of the first shell wall 11" refers to the side of the first shell wall 11 facing the battery core assembly 3, and the "outside of the first shell wall 11" refers to the side of the first shell wall 11 away from the battery core assembly 3.
[0208] The sealing member 231 at least comprises a shaft side 231a, a side of the shaft side 231a facing the accommodating cavity 10 is an inner side of the shaft side 231a, and a side of the shaft side 231a away from the battery cell assembly 3 is an outer side of the shaft side 231a, the clamping structure 22 is partially clamped with one of the pole body 21 on the outer side of the shaft side 231a, and the other is partially clamped on the inner side of the shaft side 231a, so that the shaft side 231a is clamped between the clamping structure 22 and the pole body 21 in the inner and outer directions of the first shell wall 11, so as to realize the axial sealing between the clamping structure 22 and the pole body 21.
[0209] Therefore, by arranging at least part of the sealing member 231 clamped between the clamping structure 22 and the pole body 21 in the inner and outer directions of the first shell wall 11, the axial sealing between the clamping structure 22 and the pole body 21 is realized, and the axial sealing can achieve a more reliable sealing effect, thereby improving the leakage problem of the matching position of the clamping structure 22 and the pole body 21. Moreover, the embodiment of the present application can reduce the axial force acting on the first shell wall 11 by integrating the axial sealing such as the shaft side 231a in the pole assembly.
[0210] Please refer to Figure 7 , for example, the sealing member 231 is annularly arranged on the inner ring of the clamping structure 22 facing the pole body 21, that is, the inner ring of the clamping structure 22. In the embodiment of the present application, since the clamping structure 22 is arranged around the pole body 21 and connected with the first shell wall 11, the side of the clamping structure 22 facing the pole body 21 is the "inner ring of the clamping structure 22", and the side of the clamping structure 22 facing the first shell wall 11 is the "outer ring of the clamping structure 22". In the above technical solution, by arranging the sealing member 231 on the inner ring of the clamping structure 22, the sealing member 231 can approach the matching position of the clamping structure 22 and the pole body 21, which is beneficial to sealing the matching position of the clamping structure 22 and the pole body 21 in a shorter path, improving the reliability of the sealing, and is also beneficial to reducing the size of the sealing member 231, reducing the sealing area, easily realizing compression sealing, and improving the sealing effect.
[0211] In addition, when the insulation structure 23 comprises the sealing member 231, the sealing member 231 is clamped between the clamping structure 22 and the pole body 21 to seal the clamping structure 22 and the pole body 21, and the clamping structure 22 is formed in a long strip shape extending along the length direction of the first shell wall 11, and the pole body 21 is arranged at the length center position of the clamping structure 22 and is circular, since the connection position of the clamping structure 22 and the pole body 21 is uniformly stressed, the compression amount of the sealing member 231 can be easily controlled to improve the reliability of the sealing cooperation of the clamping structure 22 and the pole body 21, and the sealing area is relatively small and not easy to fail.
[0212] Please refer toFigure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 10 In some embodiments, the first shell wall 11 has a mounting hole 111, the pole assembly 22 is covered on the mounting hole 111, and the edge of the clamping structure 22 is overlapped on one side of the first shell wall 11 in the wall thickness direction. In this way, by covering the clamping structure 22 on one side of the first shell wall 11 in the wall thickness direction, i.e., covering the clamping structure 22 on the outside of the first shell wall 11 or covering the clamping structure 22 on the inside of the first shell wall 11, the assembly of the clamping structure 22 and the first shell wall 11 is facilitated.
[0213] Exemplarily, the clamping structure 22 is welded to the first shell wall 11. For example, after covering the clamping structure 22 on the first shell wall 11, the clamping structure 22 and the first shell wall 11 can be connected by welding, thereby facilitating processing and better ensuring the connection reliability of the clamping structure 22 and the first shell wall 11. For example, welding can be performed from the outside of the first shell wall 11, so that the welding seam formed by the connection of the two is exposed on the side of the first shell wall 11 away from the battery cell assembly 3, i.e., the side away from the active material coated portion 311, thereby facilitating welding operation and increasing welding space. The present application is not limited thereto, for example, in some other embodiments of the present application, the clamping structure 22 can also be provided to be inserted into the mounting hole 111 and riveted to the first shell wall 11.
[0214] Exemplarily, when the connection of the battery cell assembly 3 and the pole assembly 2 is performed first, and then the pole assembly 2 is assembled and connected to the first shell wall 11, the pole assembly 2 can be connected to the battery cell assembly 3 first, then assembled together into the shell body 12, and then the pole assembly 2 is extended out of the first shell wall 11; or for example, the battery cell assembly 3 is assembled into the shell body 12, the conductive portion 32 is inserted through the mounting hole 111 and connected to the pole assembly 2 previously provided on the outside of the first shell wall 11, and the pole assembly 2 is covered on the mounting hole 111 of the first shell wall 11 from the outside of the first shell wall 11, i.e., the side away from the active material coated portion 31. At this time, the edge of the clamping structure 22 is overlapped on the side of the first shell wall 11 away from the battery cell assembly 3. In this way, since the pole assembly 2 is covered on the first shell wall 11 from the outside, the assembly and connection of the pole assembly 2 and the first shell wall 11 are facilitated, which is beneficial to improving the connection reliability of the pole assembly 2 and the first shell wall 11.
[0215] Please refer to Figure 6In some embodiments, when the edge of the clamping structure 22 overlaps the side of the first shell wall 11 away from the battery cell assembly 3, a recessed groove 112 can be arranged around the mounting hole 111 on the first shell wall 11, the recessed groove 112 is open towards the direction away from the battery cell assembly 3, that is, the recessed groove 112 is open towards the direction away from the active material coated portion 31, and the edge of the clamping structure 22 is embedded in the recessed groove 112, wherein the edge of the clamping structure 22 has a flange portion 22a around the clamping structure 22, and the flange portion 22a is embedded in the recessed groove 112. Thus, it is convenient to support and position the connection of the clamping structure 22 and the first shell wall 11, which is beneficial to the welding connection of the two from the outside of the first shell wall 11, that is, from the side away from the active material coated portion 31.
[0216] Exemplarily, the thickness of the flange portion 22a matches the groove depth of the recessed groove 112, wherein “match” means that the thickness of the flange portion 22a is basically consistent with the groove depth of the recessed groove 112. Thus, it is convenient to weld the flange portion 22a and the first shell wall 11, the thickness of the flange portion 22a is not too large relative to the groove depth of the recessed groove 112, which can reduce unnecessary occupation of space, and the thickness of the flange portion 22a is not too small relative to the groove depth of the recessed groove 112, which can meet the welding strength requirement.
[0217] Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the connection of the battery cell assembly 3 and the pole assembly 2 is performed first, and then the pole assembly 2 is assembled and connected to the first shell wall 11, and after the connection of the battery cell assembly 3 and the pole assembly 2, the battery cell assembly 3 and the pole assembly 2 are loaded into the shell body 12 together, so that the pole assembly 2 can be arranged at the mounting hole 111 of the first shell wall 11 from the inside of the first shell wall 11, that is, from the side towards the active material coated portion 31, and at this time, the edge of the clamping structure 22 overlaps the side of the first shell wall 11 towards the battery cell assembly 3. Thus, since the pole assembly 2 is arranged at the mounting hole 111 from the inside of the first shell wall 11, the battery cell assembly 3 and the pole assembly 2 can be loaded into the shell body 12 together, and the pole assembly 2 does not need to pass through the mounting hole 111, thereby reducing the operation steps and reducing the operation difficulty.
[0218] In some embodiments, please refer again to Figures 6-8 The pole assembly 2 surrounds the accommodating groove 20 which is recessed towards the direction away from the battery cell assembly 3 and open towards the direction of the battery cell assembly 3 relative to the first shell wall 11, and at least part of the conductive portion 32 is accommodated in the accommodating groove 20. That is, the pole assembly 2 surrounds the accommodating groove 20, the groove wall of the accommodating groove 20 is formed by the pole assembly 2, the accommodating groove 20 is recessed towards the direction away from the active material coated portion 31, and the accommodating groove 20 is open towards the direction of the active material coated portion 31, so that the accommodating groove 20 communicates with the accommodating cavity 10.
[0219] Therefore, by arranging the accommodating groove 20 to accommodate the conductive part 32, the space occupied by the conductive part 32 in the accommodating cavity 10 can be reduced, so that the accommodating cavity 10 has more space to accommodate the active material coating part 31, which is beneficial to increase the volume of the active material coating part 31, thereby increasing the energy density of the battery monomer 100. Moreover, since the accommodating groove 20 is open towards the direction of the battery cell assembly 3, the conductive part 32 can easily extend into the accommodating groove 20, thereby reducing the operation difficulty.
[0220] For example, please refer to Figures 6-8 The accommodating groove 20 is formed on the side of the pole body 21 and the clamping structure 22 facing the battery cell assembly 3, i.e. the side facing the active material coating part 31, and the clamping structure 22 protrudes towards the direction away from the battery cell assembly 3, i.e. the direction away from the active material coating part 31, relative to the first shell wall 11, so that the accommodating groove 20 is recessed towards the direction away from the battery cell assembly 3 relative to the first shell wall 11.
[0221] Therefore, by processing the clamping structure 22 into a protruding form, a part of the accommodating groove 20 is formed on the side of the pole body 21 facing the battery cell assembly 3, and another part of the accommodating groove 20 is formed on the side of the clamping structure 22 facing the battery cell assembly 3, and the accommodating groove 20 is recessed towards the direction away from the battery cell assembly 3 relative to the first shell wall 11, so that the side of the pole body 21 facing the battery cell assembly 3 and the side of the clamping structure 22 facing the battery cell assembly 3 both have space to accommodate the conductive part 32 of the accommodating groove 20, which not only facilitates the accommodation of the conductive part 32 to a greater extent, but also facilitates the form diversity design of the conductive part 32.
[0222] For example, please refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the shell assembly 1 includes a shell body 12 and a shell cover 13, the shell body 12 is a one-piece, and one end of the shell body 12 is open, and the shell cover 13 is arranged at the open end of the shell body 12. For example, the open end of the shell body 12 has an opening 121, and the shell cover 13 is arranged at the opening 121, and the shell body 12 and the shell cover 13 together enclose the accommodating cavity 10. Figure 4 According to the above description, the first shell wall 11 is located at the end of the shell body 12 away from the shell cover 13, i.e. the shell wall at the end of the shell body 12 opposite to the opening 121 is the first shell wall 11; or the first shell wall 11 is formed on the shell cover 13, and the shell cover 13 serves as the first shell wall 11.
[0223] Of course, in other examples, the shell assembly 1 can also include two shell bodies 12, and one end of each shell body 12 is open to form an opening 121, and the openings 121 of the two shell bodies 12 are opposite to each other and cover each other, and the two shell bodies 12 together enclose the accommodating cavity 10, and the shell wall at the end of one of the shell bodies 12 opposite to the opening 121 is the first shell wall 11.
[0224] In some embodiments, in combination with the above description,Figure 4 The housing assembly 1 includes a housing body 12 that forms a receiving cavity 10. One end of the housing body 12 is open to form an opening 121, and the end wall of the housing body 12 opposite to the opening 121 is a first housing wall 11. It is understood that the housing body 12 is a one-piece molded part and includes a first housing wall 11 and a second housing wall 114. The second housing wall 114 surrounds the edge of the first housing wall 11 and extends from the edge of the first housing wall 11 toward one side in the thickness direction of the first housing wall 11. The end of the second housing wall 114 away from the first housing wall 11 has an opening 121, and a cavity is formed between the first housing wall 11 and the second housing wall 114, which constitutes at least a portion of the receiving cavity 10.
[0225] When the housing assembly 1 includes a shell body 12 with an opening 121 at one end, the housing assembly 1 also includes a shell body fitting structure. The shell body fitting structure fits with the shell body 12 to cover the opening 121 and together with the shell body 12, forms a receiving cavity 10. For example, the shell body 12 is semi-closed cylindrical, and the shell body fitting structure is flat, that is, the shell body fitting structure can be a shell cover 13. In this case, the housing assembly 1 can be a combination of the shell body 12 and the shell cover 13. Another example is that the shell body 12 is semi-closed cylindrical, and the shell body fitting structure can be semi-closed cylindrical, that is, the shell body fitting structure can be the other half of the shell body 12. In this case, the housing assembly 1 can be a combination of two shell bodies 12, etc. Yet another example is that the shell body fitting structure can be a shell assembly, which is assembled from multiple parts. Thus, the housing assembly 1 has various forms and can adapt to various application scenarios.
[0226] For example, combined Figure 4 The housing assembly 1 may include a housing body 12 and a housing cover 13. One end of the housing body 12 has an opening 121, and the housing cover 13 closes to the opening 121. The housing body 12 and the housing cover 13 together form a receiving cavity 10. The end of the housing body 12 opposite to the opening 121 serves as a first housing wall 11. Alternatively, by way of example, the housing assembly 1 may include two housing bodies 12, each housing body 12 having an opening 121 at one end. The openings 121 of the two housing bodies 12 are opposite to each other and close to each other. The two housing bodies 12 together form a receiving cavity 10. The end of one housing body 12 opposite to the opening 121 serves as a first housing wall 11.
[0227] In the above technical solution, when the end wall of the shell body 12 opposite to the opening is the first shell wall 11, and the electric core assembly 3 accommodated in the shell assembly 1 is connected with the pole column assembly 2 mounted on the first shell wall 11, when the battery device 200 vibrates or deforms, the pole column assemblies 2 connected by the bus member will pull each other. Since the pole column assembly 2 is arranged on the end wall of the shell body 12 opposite to the opening 121, the force acting on the pole column assembly 2 will be preferentially transmitted to the shell body 12, and will not directly act on the shell body matching structure such as the shell cover 13. Therefore, not only the distance of the force transmission to the connection between the shell body 12 and the shell body matching structure such as the shell cover 13 can be prolonged, but also the shell body 12 will deform preferentially when subjected to force, so as to reduce the stress at the connection between the shell body 12 and the shell body matching structure such as the shell cover 13, thereby effectively reducing the probability of cracking at the connection between the shell body 12 and the shell body matching structure such as the shell cover 13 during use of the battery 100, and improving the reliability of the battery monomer 100. Moreover, since the connection position of the shell body 12 and the shell body matching structure such as the shell cover 13 is not prone to cracking, the wall thickness of the two can not be increased to increase the connection reliability, thereby facilitating the reduction of weight and material cost, and facilitating the miniaturization of the battery monomer 100 or the improvement of the energy density of the battery monomer 100. The connection mode of the shell body 12 and the shell body matching structure is not limited, for example, can be bonding, welding, etc.
[0228] Exemplarily, when the end wall of the shell body 12 opposite to the opening 121 is the first shell wall 11 for mounting the pole column assembly 2, if the pole column assembly 2 is first mounted at the mounting hole 111 of the first shell wall 11, and then the electric core assembly 3 is assembled into the shell body 12, it is difficult to connect the electric core assembly 3 and the pole column assembly 2. In some embodiments of the present application, the connection of the electric core assembly 3 and the pole column assembly 2 can be performed first, and then the pole column assembly 2 is assembled and connected to the shell assembly 1, so that the connection requirements of the electric core assembly 3 and the pole column assembly 2 can be met, and the connection requirements of the pole column assembly 2 and the shell assembly 1 can also be met, thereby improving the reliability and processability of the battery monomer 100.
[0229] Moreover, such a processing sequence can effectively shorten the length of the conductive part 32, for example, as long as the first connection of the electric core assembly 3 and the pole column assembly 2 and the later connection of the pole column assembly 2 and the shell assembly 1 can be met, thereby saving the material and cost of the conductive part 32, reducing the redundancy of the conductive part 32, reducing the short circuit risk, and reducing the space occupation of the conductive part 32 in the shell assembly 1, thereby facilitating the improvement of the energy density of the battery monomer 100.
[0230] Please refer to Figure 3In some embodiments of the present application, the battery cell 100 further comprises a pressure relief structure 5 arranged on the shell assembly 1. For example, the pressure relief structure 5 can be an explosion-proof valve arranged on the shell assembly 1, or a thinned area integrally formed on the shell assembly 1. In this way, by arranging the pressure relief structure 5, when the pressure in the shell assembly 1 exceeds a preset value, the pressure relief structure 5 can be used to direct the pressure relief, thereby improving the reliability of the battery cell 100. The pressure relief structure 5 can be arranged on the first shell wall 11, or on other shell walls other than the first shell wall 11. The first shell wall 11 can be one or more.
[0231] For example, in combination with the above-mentioned technical solutions, Figure 3 The pressure relief structure 5 and the pole assembly 2 are located on the same side. Since the pole assembly 2 is arranged on the first shell wall 11, when the pressure relief structure 5 is also arranged on the first shell wall 11, the pressure relief structure 5 and the pole assembly 2 are located on the same side. In this way, the design of other shell walls other than the first shell wall 11 can be simplified, and the structure and processing of the battery cell 100 can be simplified.
[0232] For example, the pressure relief structure 5 and the pole assembly 2 are located on different sides. Since the pole assembly 2 is arranged on the first shell wall 11, when the pressure relief structure 5 is arranged on other walls of the shell assembly 1 other than the first shell wall 11, for example, the pressure relief structure 5 is arranged on the second shell wall 114, or the pressure relief structure 5 is arranged on the shell cover 13, the pressure relief structure 5 and the pole assembly 2 are located on different sides. In this way, without considering that the pressure relief structure 5 occupies the space of the first shell wall 11 to reduce the volume of the pole assembly 2, the shape and volume of the pole assembly 2 can be flexibly designed as needed.
[0233] For example, the shell assembly 1 can be surrounded by multiple non-coplanar shell walls, for example, the shell wall components of a cuboid are surrounded by six shell walls, one of which is the first shell wall 11. The pressure relief structure 5 is arranged on any other shell wall other than the first shell wall 11, and the pole assembly 2 is arranged on the first shell wall 11. In this way, the pressure relief structure 5 and the pole assembly 2 are located on different sides.
[0234] In a second aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a battery device 200, comprising a plurality of the above-mentioned battery cells 100.
[0235] In the above technical solution, since the battery cell 100 is used, the performance of the battery device 200 can be improved
[0236] In a third aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide an electric device 500, comprising the above-mentioned battery device 200, and the battery device 200 is used to store or provide electric energy.
[0237] In the above technical solution, since the performance of the battery device 200 is improved, the working performance of the electric device 500 can be improved.
[0238] It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments in the present application can be combined with each other in the case of no conflict.
[0239] The above only is the preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application, and the present application can have various changes and changes for the person skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
