Among them, the shell 11 can be a sealed structure, or a non-sealed structure. As an example, when the shell 11 is a sealed structure, the shell 11 can play a role in protecting the electrode assembly 12 and preventing electrolyte leakage to some extent.

The electrode terminal 13 is insulated and arranged on the first wall 1121 of the shell 11 along the first direction Z, which means that the electrode terminal 13 is arranged on the first wall 1121, and an insulating structure 14 is arranged between the electrode terminal 13 and the first wall 1121, so that the first wall 1121 and the electrode terminal 13 are insulated by the insulating structure 14.

[0146] The electrode terminal 13 is provided with a mounting groove 101 on the side away from the electrode assembly 12 along the first direction Z, which means that the electrode terminal 13 is recessed on the side away from the electrode assembly 12 along the first direction Z to form the mounting groove 101. That is, the mounting groove 101 is a recess formed on the side of the electrode terminal 13 away from the electrode assembly 12 along the first direction Z.
[0147] The part of the busbar component 20 is inserted into the mounting groove 101, which means that for a single mounting groove 101, one part of the busbar component 20 is located in the mounting groove 101, and the other part of the busbar component 20 extends out of the mounting groove, so that the other part of the busbar component 20 can extend to be electrically connected to the electrode terminal 13 of the adjacent battery monomer 1, specifically, the other part of the busbar component 20 extends to be inserted into the mounting groove 101 of the adjacent battery monomer 1. Wherein, one part of the busbar component 20 is inserted into the mounting groove 101, and the other part of the busbar component 20 can protrude out of the electrode terminal 13 along the first direction Z or the second direction Y as described below.

[0149] The busbar component 20 is electrically connected with the electrode terminal 13. Understandably, the busbar component 20 is electrically connected with the electrode terminals 13 of two adjacent battery monomers 1 to realize the electrical connection between the two adjacent battery monomers 1. Specifically, one part of the busbar component 20 is in the mounting groove 101 of the electrode terminal 13 of one of the battery monomers 1 and is electrically connected with the electrode terminal 13 of the one of the battery monomers 1; another part of the busbar component 20 is in the mounting groove 101 of the electrode terminal 13 of another of the battery monomers 1 and is electrically connected with the electrode terminal 13 of the another of the battery monomers 1.

In this way, in the case that the size of the battery monomer 1 in the first direction Z is predetermined, the space occupied by the whole of the battery monomer 1 and the busbar component 20 in the first direction Z is reduced, thereby improving the utilization rate of the internal space of the battery device 100 in the first direction Z, and improving the energy density of the battery device 100.
[0154] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 5 to 8 The shell 11 includes a shell body 111 and an end cover 112, and the electrode assembly 12 is arranged in the space formed by the shell body 111 and the end cover 112.
[0155] The shell 111 and the end cover 112 are components for jointly defining an internal environment of the battery cell 1, and the internal environment defined by the shell 111 and the end cover 112 is used for accommodating the electrode assembly 12 and the electrolyte.
[0156] In some implementations, the shell 111 and the end cover 112 can be independent components. Specifically, the shell 111 has an opening, and the end cover 112 is arranged at the opening of the shell 111 to jointly define the internal environment of the battery cell 1 with the shell 111 and to isolate the internal environment of the battery cell 1 from the external environment. In other implementations, the shell 111 and the end cover 112 can also be an integrated structure. Specifically, the end cover 112 and the shell 111 can form a common connecting surface before the electrode assembly 12 is accommodated in the shell, and the end cover 112 is arranged to cover the shell 111 when the electrode assembly 12 needs to be encapsulated.
[0157] Specifically, the end cover 112 is arranged at the end side of the shell 111 along the first direction Z.
[0158] In some implementations, as shown in FIG. 1, the number of the end cover 112 can be one, and the end cover 112 is arranged at one end of the shell 111. Alternatively, the number of the end cover 112 can be two, and the two end covers 112 are arranged at opposite ends of the shell 111. Figures 5 to 8

[0160] The shell 111 can be cylindrical, square, or other shapes, which can be determined according to the specific shape and size of the electrode assembly 12. The material of the shell 111 and the end cover 112 can be various, such as copper, iron, aluminum, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, plastic, etc.
[0161] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. Figures 5 to 8 In some embodiments, please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. Figure 8 In some embodiments, please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. Figure 7 As shown in FIG. 2, the mounting groove 101 has a notch 102 at one end along the second direction X, and the current collector component 20 extends to the outside of the electrode terminal 13 through the notch 102. The first direction Z and the second direction X intersect.
[0162] The notch 102 is an opening arranged at one end of the mounting groove 101 along the second direction X, and the notch 102 and the mounting groove 101 are distributed along the second direction X and are in communication.
[0163] The busbar member 20 extends out of the electrode terminal 13 through the slot 102, which means that part of the busbar member 20 penetrates the slot 102, and part of the busbar member 20 is located outside one end of the housing 11 along the second direction X.
[0164] The first direction Z and the second direction X intersect, which means that the first direction Z and the second direction X can form an included angle greater than 0° and less than 180°, that is, the first direction Z and the second direction X are not parallel. The first direction Z and the second direction X can be perpendicular to each other, or can not be perpendicular. The first direction Z and the second direction X can be directions intersecting on the same plane, or can be directions on planes respectively perpendicular to each other, and the projection of the second direction X on the plane where the first direction Z is located can intersect the first direction Z. As an example, the first direction Z and the second direction X are perpendicular. In some cases, the first direction Z can be the length direction or the height direction of the battery monomer 1, and the second direction X can be the width direction or the thickness direction of the battery monomer 1.
[0165] In this way, the busbar member 20 can extend out of the electrode terminal 13 through the slot 102, thereby being electrically connected to the electrode terminal 13 of the adjacent battery monomer 1, so that the part of the busbar member 20 extending out of the mounting groove 101 along the second direction X can share space with the electrode terminal 13 along the first direction Z, thereby helping to further improve the utilization of the internal space of the battery device 100 in the first direction Z, so as to improve the energy density of the battery device 100.
[0166] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 5 to 8 In the first direction Z, the side of the electrode terminal 13 away from the electrode assembly 12 is flush with the side of the first wall 1121 away from the electrode assembly 12. Alternatively, in the first direction Z, the first wall 1121 protrudes out of the electrode terminal 13 in the direction away from the electrode assembly 12.
[0167] In this way, the electrode terminal 13 is completely retracted into the housing 11 along the first direction Z, which helps to reduce the size of the battery monomer 1 along the first direction Z under the condition that the size of the electrode assembly 12 along the first direction Z is predetermined, thereby helping to further reduce the size of the whole along the first direction Z which is composed of the battery monomer 1 and the busbar member 20.
[0168] In some embodiments, the electrode terminal 13 protrudes out of the first wall 1121 along the first direction Z, and the slot 102 is arranged on the part of the electrode terminal 13 protruding out of the first wall 1121 along the first direction Z.
[0169] In this way, the part of the busbar member 20 extending outside the mounting groove 101 in the second direction X is located on the side of the first wall 1121 away from the electrode assembly 12 in the first direction Z. In this way, the design of the housing 11 is simplified, thereby simplifying the structure of the battery cell 1.
[0170] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 5 to 8 , the first wall 1121 is provided with an electrode lead-out hole 103 penetrating in the first direction Z, and at least part of the electrode terminal 13 is inserted into the electrode lead-out hole 103.
[0171] The electrode lead-out hole 103 refers to a through hole of the first wall 1121 for mounting the electrode terminal 13. Specifically, at least part of the electrode terminal 13 is inserted into the electrode lead-out hole 103 in the first direction Z.
[0172] In this way, the at least part of the electrode terminal 13 is completely retracted into the housing 11 in the first direction Z, which can reduce the size of the electrode terminal 13 protruding outside the first wall 1121 in the first direction Z, thereby helping to reduce the size of the battery cell 1 in the first direction Z when the size of the electrode assembly 12 in the first direction Z is predetermined.
[0173] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 5 to 8 , the housing 11 is provided with a second wall 1111 in the second direction X, and the second wall 1111 is provided with a first groove 104 penetrating in the second direction X, the first groove 104 is distributed and communicated with the slot 102 in the second direction X, and part of the busbar member 20 is located in the first groove 104.

In the second direction X, the slot 102 is located between the first groove 104 and the mounting groove 101, and the slot 102 is communicated with the first groove 104 and the mounting groove 101.
[0176] It can be understood that the busbar member 20 is inserted into the mounting groove 101, the slot 102 and the first groove 104. The part of the busbar member 20 extending outside the mounting groove 101 in the second direction X is sequentially arranged in the slot 102 and the first groove 104 in the second direction X to extend outside the second wall 1111.
[0177] As an example, the housing 11 is provided with the second walls 1111 at both ends in the second direction X. In the second direction X, the mounting groove 101 of the positive electrode terminal is provided with the notch 102 toward one end of one of the second walls 1111, i.e., in the second direction X, the notch 102 of the positive electrode terminal is communicated between the mounting groove 101 of the positive electrode terminal and one of the second walls 1111. In the second direction X, the mounting groove 101 of the negative electrode terminal is provided with the notch 102 toward one end of the other second wall 1111, i.e., in the second direction X, the notch 102 of the negative electrode terminal is communicated between the mounting groove 101 of the negative electrode terminal and the other second wall 1111.
[0178] In this way, the part of the busbar 20 extending out of the mounting groove 101 in the second direction X is inserted into the notch 102 and the first groove 104, so that the busbar 20 also shares the space in the first direction Z with the second wall 1111, which helps to reduce the size of the whole in the first direction Z of the battery monomer 1 and the busbar 20, and further improves the utilization of the internal space of the battery device 100 in the first direction Z, so as to improve the energy density of the battery device 100.
[0179] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 5 to 8 , the first groove 104 and the electrode lead-out hole 103 are distributed and communicated in the second direction X.
[0180] It can be understood that the hole wall of the electrode lead-out hole 103 in the second direction X is provided on the second wall 1111, i.e., the electrode lead-out hole 103 extends to the second wall 1111 in the second direction X.
[0181] Based on this, the first groove 104 is a recess provided on the second wall 1111 in the first direction Z.
[0182] In this way, the busbar 20 can be inserted into the mounting groove 101, the notch 102 and the first groove 104 in the first direction Z, which facilitates the installation of the busbar 20 on the battery monomer 1.
[0183] In some embodiments, the electrode lead-out hole 103 and the first groove 104 can be spaced apart in the second direction X.
[0184] Based on this, the busbar 20 is inserted into the first groove 104, the notch 102 and the mounting groove 101 in the second direction X, and the part of the busbar 20 between the notch 102 and the first groove 104 is located on the side of the first wall 1121 close to the electrode assembly 12 in the first direction Z.
[0185] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 5 to 8The battery cell 1 further includes an insulating structure 14, at least a portion of the insulating structure 14 is arranged in the electrode lead-out hole 103, and the insulating structure 14 surrounds the outer periphery of the electrode terminal 13.
[0186] The insulating structure 14 refers to a structure having an insulating property. The insulating structure 14 may, but is not limited to, be a plastic part.
[0187] Specifically, in a projection plane perpendicular to the first direction Z, the orthographic projection of the insulating structure 14 surrounds the outer periphery of the orthographic projection of the electrode terminal 13. In this way, the electrode terminal 13 and the housing 11 are insulated by the insulating structure 14.
[0188] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 5 to 8 The insulating structure 14 includes a first insulating portion 141, and in the second direction X, the first insulating portion 141 is arranged between the second wall 1111 and the electrode terminal 13. The first insulating portion 141 is provided with a second slot 105, the second slot 105 is communicated between the slot opening 102 and the first slot 104, and part of the busbar component 20 is located in the second slot 105.

Specifically, the first insulating portion 141 is arranged between the second wall 1111 and the electrode terminal 13 to achieve insulation between the electrode terminal 13 and the second wall 1111.
[0190] It can be understood that the insulating structure 14 further includes a second insulating portion 142, which is also one part of the insulating structure 14 and has an insulating property. The first insulating portion 141 and the second insulating portion 142 are both arranged in the electrode lead-out hole 103 and jointly surround the outer periphery of the electrode terminal 13.
[0191] The second slot 105 penetrates the first insulating portion 141 along the second direction X.

That is, the part of the busbar component 20 extending out of the mounting slot 101 is inserted into the slot opening 102, the second slot 105, and the first slot 104 along the second direction X.
[0192] In this way, the arrangement of the busbar component 20 can avoid the insulating structure 14, thereby facilitating the busbar component 20 and the battery cell 1 to share space along the first direction Z and improving the energy density of the battery device 100.
[0193] It can be understood that, in the first direction Z, the first insulation part 141 is located between the busbar component 20 and the electrode assembly 12, so that the first insulation part 141 realizes the insulation between the electrode assembly 12 and the busbar component 20.

In the battery monomer 1, the positive electrode terminals and the negative electrode terminals are arranged on the same first wall 1121 along the second direction X. In the positive electrode terminal, the notch 102 is arranged at one end of the mounting groove 101 away from the negative electrode terminal along the second direction X. In the negative electrode terminal, the notch 102 is arranged at one end of the mounting groove 101 away from the positive electrode terminal along the second direction X.

[0217] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 2 to 4The battery cell assembly 10 comprises a plurality of rows of battery cells 1 arranged along a third direction Y, each row of battery cells 1 comprising a plurality of battery cells 1 arranged along a second direction X.

The information acquisition assembly can include an information acquisition circuit board, or can include an information acquisition wire harness. The information acquisition circuit board can be, but is not limited to, a flexible circuit board (FPC, Flexible Printed Circuit).
[0228] The information acquisition assembly and the electrode terminal 13 can be electrically connected by welding, gluing or the like.
[0229] The first adhesive layer avoids the information acquisition assembly, that is, the first adhesive layer can be divided into multiple, and the multiple first adhesive layers are arranged on the second wall 1111 to avoid the information acquisition assembly.
[0230] In this way, the fixing reliability between the second box body 32 and the battery monomer assembly 10 can be improved.
