Fins are fixedly connected to the upper part of the heat-conducting plates, penetrating through the outer casing and slidably connected to it. The heat-conducting plates and fins increase the heat dissipation capacity of the outer casing.

[0008] Preferably, a spring is provided inside the pin, one end of which is fixedly connected to the guide rod, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the pin. The spring allows a reaction force to be applied to the pin, thus aiding in its repositioning.

[0009] Preferably, a stop block is fixedly connected to the pin body of the sliding pin, and the stop block is slidably connected inside the housing cover. A second spring is sleeved on the outer side of the pin body of the sliding pin. The stop block, in conjunction with the fixing ring, facilitates the fixing of the second spring.

[0010] Preferably, one end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the fixed ring, and the other end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the stop block. The elastic force of the second spring can be applied to the sliding pin through the stop block.

[0011] Preferably, the side of the stop is provided with a ball bearing, which is slidably connected to the inner surface of the cover. The ball bearing reduces the relative friction between the stop and the cover.

The cover is provided with a spring-supported pin with a beveled block and a sliding pin. The sliding pin can be restricted by a baffle on the cover. In this way, the pin can be inserted laterally into the outer shell by the cooperation of the sliding pin and the beveled block. Thus, the battery cell can be disassembled and assembled from the outer shell and the cover by simply controlling the engagement and disengagement between the pin and the outer shell.

[0015] 2. This utility model has a hollow outer shell structure, and a heat-conducting plate with fins is provided on the side of the outer shell. The heat-conducting plate and fins penetrate the inner and outer walls of the outer shell respectively. The heat-conducting plate is in contact with the battery cell, while the fins extend to the outside. This not only ensures the protection of the battery cell by the outer shell, but also ensures the heat dissipation of the battery cell. Attached Figure Description
