[0015] Figure 1 This is an overall structural diagram of a square-shell battery cell proposed in this utility model.

[0016] In the diagram: 1. Single battery cell; 2. First groove; 3. First terminal slot; 4. Positive terminal; 5. Second groove; 6. Second terminal slot; 7. Negative terminal; 8. Third groove; 9. Explosion-proof valve; 10. Liquid injection hole. Detailed Implementation

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0018] Reference Figure 1 A square-shell battery cell includes a single battery cell 1, which is a steel-shell battery cell or an aluminum-shell battery cell. A first groove 2 is provided on one side of the top of the single battery cell 1. A busbar can be placed in the first groove 2 for electrical connection with the terminal post. A first terminal post groove 3 is provided in the first groove 2. A positive terminal post 4 is disposed in the first terminal post groove 3. The positive terminal post 4 is located in the terminal post groove, which can prevent the positive terminal post 4 from being exposed and damaged.

[0019] A second groove 5 is provided on the side of the top of the single cell 1 opposite to the first groove 2. The busbar can be placed in the second groove 5 for electrical connection with the terminal post. A second terminal post groove 6 is provided in the second groove 5. A negative terminal post 7 is provided in the second terminal post groove 6. The negative terminal post 7 is located in the terminal post groove, which can prevent the negative terminal post 7 from being exposed and damaged.

[0020] By placing the electrode post in the embedded electrode post groove, the electrode post is less likely to be damaged by bumps or friction during use or transportation. At the same time, the space used by placing the electrode post in the electrode post groove is less, and the installation of the busbar can be facilitated by setting the first groove 2 and the second groove 5, thereby improving space utilization and increasing energy density.

[0021] The distance between the bottom surface of the first groove 2 and the second groove 5 and the top surface of the single cell 1 is 0.1cm-5cm, so that the busbar can be placed in the embedded first groove 2 and the second groove 5, which can save space, improve space utilization, and thus improve energy density.

[0022] The first groove 2 and the second groove 5 are symmetrically arranged with the third groove 8 as the center. The bottom surfaces of the first groove 2 and the second groove 5 are located on the same horizontal plane, which can maintain the balance of the battery cells and facilitate mass production. At the same time, after the busbar is installed to form a battery module, the individual battery cells 1 in the battery module can also be arranged neatly.

[0023] The top surface of the positive terminal 4 is flush with the bottom surface of the first groove 2, and the top surface of the negative terminal 7 is flush with the bottom surface of the second groove 5. Therefore, the terminals are not easily damaged by bumps or friction during use or transportation, and can be connected to the busbar.

[0024] A third groove 8 is provided between the first groove 2 and the second groove 5. The third groove 8 is equipped with an explosion-proof valve 9 and an injection hole 10. When the gas pressure inside the single cell 1 is too high, the generated gas will break through the explosion-proof valve 9 to prevent the cell from exploding. At the same time, after the core inside the single cell 1 is installed, the fast liquid is injected into the electrolyte through the injection hole 10. The third groove 8 can prevent the electrolyte from splashing onto the positive electrode post 4 and the negative electrode post 7 during the injection process, and can protect the positive electrode post 4 and the negative electrode post 7.
