[0040] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "first," "second," etc., are used to describe various types of information, but these terms are not limited to them and are only used to distinguish information of the same type from one another. For example, without departing from the scope of this application, "first" information may also be referred to as "second" information, and similarly, "second" information may also be referred to as "first" information.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 3As shown in the figure, this application provides an energy storage device, which includes a housing 10, a battery cell assembly (not shown) and a connecting assembly 20. The housing 10 is provided with a receiving hole 11 and a receiving cavity 12 for receiving the battery cell assembly. The connecting assembly 20 passes through the receiving hole 11, one end of the connecting assembly 20 extends into the receiving cavity 12 and is electrically connected to the battery cell assembly, and the other end of the connecting assembly 20 extends outward from the receiving hole 11. The connecting assembly 20 is used to connect an external electrical device, and the battery cell assembly supplies power to the electrical device through the connecting assembly 20. The gap between the connecting assembly 20 and the receiving hole 11 is filled with sealant.

[0042] In this embodiment, multiple batteries are connected in series or parallel to form a cell assembly with a certain voltage and capacity. The cell assembly is housed within the receiving cavity 12 of the outer casing 10, and the outer casing 10 encapsulates the cell assembly to form an energy storage device. The energy storage device is connected to an external electrical device via the connection assembly 20, thereby providing power to the electrical device. The electrical device can be a household appliance, lighting equipment, power tool, etc.

[0043] Based on the above technical solution, the outer shell 10 has a receiving hole 11 on its surface and a receiving cavity 12 inside the outer shell 10. The battery cell assembly is installed in the receiving cavity 12, and the connecting assembly 20 is installed in the receiving hole 11. One end of the connecting assembly 20 extends into the receiving cavity 12 and is electrically connected to the battery cell assembly, while the other end extends outward from the receiving hole 11 and is connected to an external electrical device. The battery cell assembly supplies power to the electrical device through the connecting assembly 20. Sealant is filled in the gap between the connecting assembly 20 and the receiving hole 11 to prevent moisture and other substances from entering the receiving cavity 12 through the gap, thereby improving the sealing performance at the receiving hole 11, enhancing the waterproof performance of the outer shell 10, and strengthening the safety of the energy storage device.

[0044] The sealant is a sealing material that can deform to conform to the shape of the sealing surface, does not easily flow, and has a certain degree of adhesion. For example, the sealant includes at least one of silicone sealant, polyurethane sealant, polysulfide sealant, acrylic sealant, and butyl sealant.

[0045] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the outer shell 10 includes a first shell 13 and a second shell 14, with a receiving hole 11 in the first shell 13 and a receiving cavity 12 in the second shell 14. The first shell 13 is the upper cover and the second shell 14 is the lower shell; or, the second shell 14 is the upper cover and the first shell 13 is the lower shell; wherein the upper cover covers the lower shell.

[0046] Specifically, the first housing 13 and the second housing 14 can be assembled by screw connection, snap-fit ​​connection, magnetic connection, etc., and this embodiment does not impose specific restrictions.

[0047] For example, the first housing 13 is the upper cover and the second housing 14 is the lower housing. The first housing 13 has a receiving hole 11 on its surface and the second housing 14 has a receiving cavity 12. The first housing 13 covers the second housing 14. The first housing 13 and the second housing 14 are respectively provided with screw holes. The first housing 13 and the second housing 14 are assembled and fixed by screwing screws into the screw holes.

[0048] For example, the second housing 14 is the upper cover, and the first housing 13 is the lower housing. The second housing 14 has a receiving hole 11 on its surface, and the first housing 13 has a receiving cavity 12 inside. The second housing 14 covers the first housing 13. One of the first housing 13 and the second housing 14 has a hook, and the other has a slot. The first housing 13 and the second housing 14 are connected by a snap-fit ​​mechanism to achieve assembly and fixation of the first housing 13 and the second housing 14.

[0049] In some embodiments, the outer casing 10 includes a first casing 13 and a second casing 14, with a receiving hole 11 and a receiving cavity 12 disposed in one of the first casing 13 and the second casing 14. The first casing 13 is an upper cover and the second casing 14 is a lower casing; or, the second casing 14 is an upper cover and the first casing 13 is a lower casing; wherein the upper cover covers the lower casing.

[0050] For example, the first housing 13 is the upper cover, the second housing 14 is the lower housing, the second housing 14 has a receiving hole 11 on its surface, and a receiving cavity 12 is provided inside the second housing 14. The first housing 13 covers the second housing 14 and is assembled and fixed with the second housing 14.

[0051] For example, the second housing 14 is the upper cover, the first housing 13 is the lower housing, the first housing 13 has a receiving hole 11 on its surface, the first housing 13 has a receiving cavity 12 inside, and the second housing 14 covers the first housing 13 and is assembled and fixed with the first housing 13.

[0052] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the connection assembly 20 includes at least two first conductive terminals 21, which are used to connect vehicle equipment.

[0053] For example, the connection component 20 includes two first conductive terminals 21, which are positive and negative conductive terminals, respectively, and are used to connect the positive and negative electrodes of the vehicle equipment, thereby realizing the power transmission between the energy storage device and the vehicle equipment, and providing power to the vehicle equipment through the energy storage device.

[0054] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3As shown, the connecting assembly 20 includes a conductive bus 22 and a first conductive terminal 21. The first conductive terminal 21 is assembled in the receiving hole 11, and the conductive bus 22 is disposed in the receiving cavity 12. One end of the conductive bus 22 is connected to the battery cell assembly, and the other end of the conductive bus 22 is connected to the first conductive terminal 21. The gap between the first conductive terminal 21 and the receiving hole 11 is filled with sealant.

[0055] Specifically, the conductive bus 22 has a conductive structure. The first conductive terminal 21 is assembled inside the receiving hole 11 and extends outward from the outer casing 10. The first conductive terminal 21 is connected to the electrical device via an electrical connection wire. The two ends of the conductive bus 22 are respectively connected to the battery cell assembly and the first conductive terminal 21. Electrical energy is transmitted from the battery cell assembly through the conductive bus 22 to the first conductive terminal 21, and then from the first conductive terminal 21 to the external electrical device. The conductive bus 22 can be directly connected to the battery cell assembly or connected via an electrical connection wire. The conductive bus 22 is conductive and can withstand a certain current load, ensuring that electrical energy is transmitted from the battery cell assembly to the first conductive terminal 21.

[0056] For example, the conductive bus 22 is first connected to the battery cell assembly, then the first conductive terminal 21 is assembled into the receiving hole 11 and connected to the conductive bus 22, and finally the gap between the first conductive terminal 21 and the receiving hole 11 is filled with sealant.

[0057] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the connecting assembly 20 includes a sealing ring 23, which abuts against the first conductive terminal 21 and the receiving hole 11.

[0058] Specifically, the sealing ring 23 has a certain elasticity. The sealing ring 23 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first conductive terminal 21 and abuts against the inner wall of the receiving hole 11. The sealing ring 23 fits tightly against the gap between the first conductive terminal 21 and the receiving hole 11, further improving the sealing performance at the receiving hole 11.

[0059] The sealing ring 23 is made of an elastic material, such as rubber or silicone. The sealing ring 23 is a rubber ring or a silicone ring.

[0060] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the connection assembly 20 includes a fastener 24, which passes through the conductive busbar 22 and the receiving hole 11, and is fastened to the first conductive terminal 21 within the receiving hole 11, so that the conductive busbar 22 is fastened to the first conductive terminal 21.

[0061] For example, the first conductive terminal 21 is provided with a first screw hole, the conductive bus 22 is provided with a second screw hole, and the fastener 24 is a screw. The first conductive terminal 21 is assembled in the receiving hole 11, and the screw is passed through the first screw hole and the second screw hole and tightened, thereby realizing the tight connection between the conductive bus 22 and the first conductive terminal 21, preventing the conductive bus 22 from separating from the first conductive terminal 21 due to external forces such as vibration when transporting the energy storage device.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the inner peripheral wall of the receiving hole 11 is provided with a limiting groove 110 extending axially along the receiving hole 11, and the limiting groove 110 is filled with sealant.

[0063] Specifically, the extending direction of the limiting groove 110 is the same as the axial direction of the first conductive terminal 21. After the gap between the first conductive terminal 21 and the receiving hole 11 is filled with sealant, the sealant is further filled into the limiting groove 110. After the sealant cures, it is tightly bonded to the limiting groove 110. It can be understood that the sealant forms an embedded structure in the limiting groove 110 and is tightly fixed to the first conductive terminal 21, preventing the first conductive terminal 21 from rotating. This avoids problems such as poor contact and loosening caused by the rotation of the first conductive terminal 21, and improves the stability of the first conductive terminal 21.

[0064] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the inner peripheral wall of the receiving hole 11 is provided with multiple limiting grooves 110. The multiple limiting grooves 110 are arranged at equal intervals around the center of the receiving hole 11. The sealant in the multiple limiting grooves 110 prevents the first conductive terminal 21 from axially moving and circumferentially rotating, thereby enhancing the anti-rotation effect of the first conductive terminal 21.

[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3 to 8 As shown, the inner peripheral wall of the receiving hole 11 is provided with a limiting groove 110 extending axially along the receiving hole 11, and the limiting groove 110 is filled with sealant; the conductive bus 22 includes a terminal bracket 221 and a second conductive terminal 222, the second conductive terminal 222 is fixed to one end of the terminal bracket 221, and the battery cell assembly is connected to the other end of the terminal bracket 221; the connecting assembly 20 includes a fastener 24, the fastener 24 passes through the second conductive terminal 222 and is fastened to the first conductive terminal 21 in the receiving hole 11.

[0066] Specifically, after the battery cell assembly is installed in the receiving cavity 12, the conductive bus 22 is fixed on the top of the battery cell assembly, the terminal bracket 221 is electrically connected to the connection port of the battery cell assembly, and electrical energy is transmitted from the terminal bracket 221 to the second conductive terminal 222. The second conductive terminal 222 is electrically connected to the first conductive terminal 21, and electrical energy is transmitted from the first conductive terminal 21 to the electrical equipment.

[0067] In this embodiment, the fastener 24 passes through the second conductive terminal 222 and is securely connected to the first conductive terminal 21 within the receiving hole 11. The fastener 24 tightly connects the second conductive terminal 222 and the first conductive terminal 21, preventing them from separating. During installation, the fastener 24 applies a preload to the second conductive terminal 222 and the first conductive terminal 21, ensuring their contact surfaces are fully engaged, reducing contact resistance, and improving power transmission efficiency.

[0068] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the receiving hole 11 includes a first hole body 111 and a second hole body 112. The first hole body 111 and the second hole body 112 are connected. The first hole body 111 is located on the side away from the receiving cavity 12, and the second hole body 112 is located on the side close to the receiving cavity 12. The inner diameter of the first hole body 111 is larger than the inner diameter of the second hole body 112. The limiting groove 110 is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the first hole body 111. The first conductive terminal 21 is assembled in the first hole body 111, and the second conductive terminal 222 is assembled in the second hole body 112.

[0069] Specifically, the receiving hole 11 extends through the surface of the outer casing 10, with the first hole 111 located on the outer side and the second hole 112 located on the inner side. The shape and size of the first conductive terminal 21 are adapted to the shape and size of the first hole 111, and the shape and size of the second conductive terminal 222 are adapted to the shape and size of the second hole 112. The first conductive terminal 21 is assembled in the first hole 111, and the second conductive terminal 222 is assembled in the second hole 112. Since the inner diameter of the first hole 111 is larger than the inner diameter of the second hole 112, the second hole 112 restricts the first conductive terminal 21, preventing it from passing through the second hole 112 and entering the receiving cavity 12. In this embodiment, the second conductive terminal 222 and the first conductive terminal 21 are connected by fasteners 24, so that the first conductive terminal 21 and the second conductive terminal 222 are electrically connected and securely connected in the receiving hole 11 of the outer casing 10.

[0070] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the terminal bracket 221 includes a first conductive part 2211, a second conductive part 2212, and a connecting part 2213. The two ends of the connecting part 2213 are respectively connected to the first conductive part 2211 and the second conductive part 2212. The first conductive part 2211 is connected to the battery cell assembly. The second conductive part 2212 extends into the receiving hole 11. The second conductive terminal 222 is fixed to the second conductive part 2212.

[0071] Specifically, after the first conductive terminal 21 is installed, there is a certain height difference between the first conductive terminal 21 and the battery cell assembly, which is caused by the installation position of the first conductive terminal 21. In order to facilitate the electrical connection between the first conductive terminal 21 and the battery cell assembly, the terminal bracket 221 is designed as a bent structure. When the energy storage device is placed horizontally, the first conductive part 2211 extends horizontally on the upper surface of the battery cell assembly to connect to the connection port of the battery cell assembly; the second conductive part 2212 extends horizontally to facilitate the fastener 24 to pass through the second conductive terminal 222 and the first conductive terminal 21; the connecting part 2213 extends vertically and connects the first conductive part 2211 and the second conductive part 2212 respectively to realize the electrical connection between the first conductive terminal 21 and the battery cell assembly.

[0072] In some embodiments, the energy storage device includes at least one of an automotive battery, a portable emergency jump starter, an outdoor energy storage power supply, and a start-stop power supply.

[0073] For example, energy storage devices include automotive batteries. Automotive batteries are energy storage components in automobiles, used to provide a strong instantaneous current for starting the engine and to power in-vehicle electrical equipment (such as lights, audio systems, and air conditioning) while the vehicle is in motion.

[0074] For example, energy storage devices include portable emergency jump starters. Portable emergency jump starters are primarily used to provide emergency power for starting a car when its battery is low. In addition, portable emergency jump starters also have multiple output interfaces that can charge devices such as mobile phones and tablets.

[0075] For example, energy storage devices include outdoor energy storage power supplies. Outdoor energy storage power supplies are high-capacity energy storage devices capable of providing a stable power supply for various outdoor electrical devices. They typically offer multiple charging methods (such as AC charging and solar charging) to meet charging needs in different environments. Furthermore, outdoor energy storage power supplies have a large output power, supporting the simultaneous use of multiple high-power electrical devices, such as electric ovens, induction cookers, and lighting equipment.

[0076] For example, energy storage devices include start-stop power supplies. Start-stop power supplies are mainly used in automotive start-stop systems to provide a large instantaneous current when the car starts, helping the engine start quickly, and to recover energy when the car is idling or decelerating to charge the battery, thereby improving fuel economy and reducing exhaust emissions.
