[0033] See the example. Figure 1-5 :
[0034] An electrochemical device includes a battery cell 1, a bottom pad 2 attached to the bottom of the battery cell 1, an insulating paper 3 arranged on the top surface of the battery cell 1, and a tab of the battery cell 1 connected to a circuit board. The insulating paper 3 is located between the top surface of the battery cell 1 and the circuit board. Preferably, the insulating paper 3 is aramid paper, and the battery cell 1 is a polymer battery cell.
[0035] The circuit board includes a protective rigid board 4 and a connected flexible board 40. The electrode tabs of the battery cell 1 are soldered to the protective rigid board 4. The protective rigid board 4 is covered with an injection-molded structural component 5. The flexible board 40 extends out of the injection-molded structural component 5, and the upper end of the flexible board 40 extends to the upper side of the injection-molded structural component 5. A top fixing pad 6 is arranged on the injection-molded structural component 5 along its width direction, and an FPC fixing pad 7 is arranged on the top fixing pad 6 along the length direction of the injection-molded structural component 5. It can be understood that the plastic structural component is formed by low-pressure injection molding.
[0036] In one embodiment, the lower end of the flexible plate 40 is connected to the protective rigid plate 4. There are two flexible plates 40, which are located on both sides of the protective rigid plate 4. The middle section 41 of the flexible plate between the upper and lower ends of the flexible plate 40 is U-shaped to provide a buffering effect. The top of the injection molded structural component 5 is provided with a placement recess 50 corresponding to the upper end of the flexible plate 40. Preferably, the upper end of the flexible plate 40 does not extend beyond the placement recess 50, and the top plane 51 of the injection molded structural component 5 is between the two placement recesses 50. The injection molded structural component 5 is provided with a central receiving groove 52 corresponding to the middle section 41 of the U-shaped flexible plate. One side of the upper end of the central receiving groove 52 is connected to the placement recess 50.
[0037] The flexible board 40 has an extension portion 42 extending laterally from its upper end, and the extension portion 42 of the flexible board 40 is provided with a connector 43 for electrical connection with external electrical equipment; preferably, the extension portion 42 is perpendicular to the upper end of the flexible board 40.
[0038] In one embodiment, the top fixing pad 6 has a U-shaped cross-section, and the lower end of the top fixing pad 6 is arranged on both sides of the battery cell 1, that is, the height of the top fixing pad 6 is greater than the sum of the heights of the injection molded structural component 5 and the protective plate rigid plate 4; preferably, the height of the top fixing pad 6 is 2-3 times the sum of the heights of the injection molded structural component 5 and the protective plate rigid plate 4.
[0039] The upper end of the flexible plate 40 is located inside the FPC fixing pad 7, and the two ends of the FPC fixing pad 7 are arranged on both sides of the injection molding structure 5.
[0040] In one embodiment, the FPC fixing pad 7 has inwardly bent ends 73 at both ends, and the bent ends 73 are arranged on both sides of the injection molded structural component 5; preferably, the bent ends 73 are glued to the side of the injection molded structural component, and the tension of the FPC fixing pad 7 resists the lifting of the upper end of the soft plate 40, while facilitating subsequent assembly.
[0041] The FPC fixing pad 7 is provided with a dummy knife line 70. Since the dummy knife line 70 is relatively weak, it is easy to break when the device is dropped or collided, thereby reducing the stress of the FPC.
[0042] In one embodiment, the height of the bent end 73 does not exceed the height of the injection-molded structural component 5;
[0043] In one embodiment, the top two sides of the battery cell 1 are provided with bent corners, the bending angle of which is 0.5-30°. The corners are covered inside the injection-molded structural component 5, and the inclination angle of the side opposite to the corner of the injection-molded structural component 5 is 0.5-30°. Preferably, the inclination angle of the side opposite to the corner of the injection-molded structural component 5 is the same as the bending angle of the corner.
[0044] In one embodiment, the width of the FPC fixing pad 7 is smaller than the width of the injection molded structural component 5.
[0045] In one embodiment, the FPC fixing pad 7 includes a first pad, with the bent ends 73 located at both ends of the first pad. A single-sided adhesive layer is provided on the inner side of the first pad, and a second pad is arranged on one side of the single-sided adhesive layer. The second pad does not overlap with the top fixing pad 6 and is arranged above the upper end of the flexible board 40. The first pad is a PI pad 71, and the second pad is a PET pad 72. This avoids the single-sided adhesive layer of the PI pad 71 from sticking to the flexible board 40, which facilitates assembly. At the same time, the double-layer structure is more wear-resistant and helps to enhance tensile strength and extend its service life.
[0046] In one embodiment, the number of FPC fixing pads 7 is two, and they are located on both sides of the top fixing pad 6. Preferably, the thickness of the PI pads 71 is 0.2-0.3 mm.

[0048] In one embodiment, the arrangement distance between the virtual knife line 70 and the extension 42 is no greater than 3mm.
