[0027] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings illustrate preferred embodiments of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of this utility model.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3In one embodiment, a lithium-ion battery structure 10 is provided, including a bottom shell 100, a battery cell 200, a cover plate 300, a positive terminal 400, a negative terminal 500, and a protection plate 600. A receiving groove 110 is formed at one end of the bottom shell 100. The battery cell 200 is disposed within the receiving groove 110, and the battery cell 200 is provided with a positive electrode tab 210 and a negative electrode tab 220, which are spaced apart from each other. The cover plate 300 is connected to the bottom shell 100, and the cover plate 300 is used to seal and close the receiving groove 110. The cover plate 300 has a first outlet hole 310 and a second outlet hole 320 that are spaced apart from each other, and the first outlet hole 310 and the second outlet hole 320 respectively penetrate both end faces of the cover plate 300. The positive terminal 400 is disposed within the first outlet hole 310, and its first end is connected to the positive electrode tab 210. The negative terminal 500 is disposed within the second outlet hole 320, and its first end is connected to the negative electrode tab 220. The first surface of the protective plate 600 is connected to the second ends of both the positive terminal 400 and the negative terminal 500.

[0029] It should be noted that the bottom shell 100 can be cylindrical, square, or irregularly shaped to prepare lithium-ion battery structures of different shapes suitable for different application scenarios. One end of the bottom shell 100 is provided with a receiving groove 110. The shape of the battery cell 200 is adapted to the shape of the receiving groove 110. The battery cell 200 can be a stacked battery cell 200 or a wound battery cell 200. The battery cell 200 is housed in the receiving groove 110. The battery cell 200 has a positive electrode tab 210 and a negative electrode tab 220 as its positive and negative output terminals. In this embodiment... In the battery cell 200, the positive electrode tab 210 and the negative electrode tab 220 are led out from the same end near the cover plate 300. That is to say, after the positive electrode tab 210 and the negative electrode tab 220 are led out, they are stacked on the end of the battery cell 200 near the cover plate 300. A gap is left between the positive electrode tab 210 and the negative electrode tab 220 to avoid direct contact and short circuit. Electrolyte is also injected into the receiving tank 110. The electrolyte is used to wet the battery cell 200 and provide a channel for the movement of lithium ions between the positive and negative electrode plates of the battery cell 200, so as to ensure the normal charging and discharging of the lithium-ion battery structure.

[0030] Furthermore, the cover plate 300 is fitted onto the bottom shell 100, and the cover plate 300 is sealed to the bottom shell 100 by welding. The cover plate 300 is used to seal and close the receiving groove 110. The cover plate 300 has a first outlet hole 310 and a second outlet hole 320 at the positions corresponding to the positive electrode tab 210 and the negative electrode tab 220, respectively. The first outlet hole 310 and the second outlet hole 320 are respectively connected to the receiving groove 110. The first outlet hole 310 and the second outlet hole 320 are used to accommodate the positive terminal 400 and the negative terminal 500, respectively. The positive terminal 400 extends into the receiving groove 110 through the first outlet hole 310. The positive terminal 400 is welded to the positive electrode tab 210, thus achieving electrical connection between the positive terminal 400 and the positive electrode tab 210. Similarly, the negative terminal 500 extends into the receiving groove 110 through the second outlet hole 320 and is welded to the negative electrode tab 220, thus achieving electrical connection with the negative electrode tab 220. This allows the positive terminal 400 and the negative terminal 500 to serve as the positive and negative output terminals of the cell 200, respectively. The positive terminal 400 and the negative terminal 500 are sealed to the inner walls of the first outlet hole 310 and the second outlet hole 320, respectively, thus sealing and encapsulating to obtain the lithium-ion battery structure. To ensure the overall sealing of the lithium-ion battery structure, a protection plate 600 is installed. The protection plate 600 and the cover plate 300 are arranged parallel to each other. The protection plate 600 covers the positive terminal 400 and the negative terminal 500. The positive terminal 400 and the negative terminal 500 can conduct electricity to the second surface of the protection plate 600 through conductive wires or conductive layers. External electrical devices can be electrically connected to the second surface of the protection plate 600, thereby achieving electrical connection with the positive and negative terminals of the battery cell 200 and realizing the power supply function of the lithium-ion battery structure. The protection plate 600 also provides support and protection, preventing external forces from affecting the battery. The protection board directly damages the positive terminal 400, the negative terminal 500, and the cover plate 300, thus protecting them and improving the stability of the positive and negative output terminals of the cell 200. Simultaneously, by setting up a circuit layer, the protection board can provide protection circuitry for the positive and negative terminals while maintaining electrical connection with them, avoiding the need for additional external protection circuitry. This results in a compact structure and simplifies the subsequent installation of the lithium-ion battery, thereby improving the overall structural stability and reliability of the lithium-ion battery.

[0031] As a further preferred embodiment, in one embodiment, the protection board 600 is a circuit board. It is understood that a circuit board is a plate-shaped structure with corresponding conductive circuit layers that can be set according to circuit design requirements, and can be used to support and install corresponding power supply or power consumption units. In this embodiment, the protection board 600 is a circuit board. The first and second sides of the protection board 600 can be respectively provided with conductive layers that are electrically connected to the positive terminal 400, the negative terminal 500, and the power consumption device, thereby realizing the circuit connection between the positive terminal 400, the negative terminal 500, and the power consumption device. While protecting the positive terminal 400 and the negative terminal 500, it also facilitates the circuit connection between the positive terminal 400, the negative terminal 500, and the power consumption device, thus offering good practicality.

[0032] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the first side of the protection plate 600 is provided with a first conductive element 610 and a second conductive element 620, and the first conductive element 610 and the second conductive element 620 are electrically connected to the second end of the positive terminal 400 and the second end of the negative terminal 500, respectively. Understandably, the first side of the protection plate 600 is provided with a first conductive element 610 and a second conductive element 620 made of metal, which are adapted to the positions of the positive terminal 400 and the negative terminal 500.

The first conductive element 610 and the second conductive element 620 can conduct the circuit to the second side of the protection plate 600 through the conductive layer provided in the middle of the protection plate 600. The external electrical device is electrically connected to the battery cell 200 through the electrical connection with the second side of the protection plate 600. The protection plate 600 can ensure the protection of the positive terminal 400 and the negative terminal 500, and ensure the overall structural stability and safety performance of the lithium-ion battery structure.

[0033] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3In one embodiment, the first conductive element 610 is provided with a first extension 611, which at least partially covers the positive terminal 400. The second conductive element 620 is provided with a second extension 621, which at least partially covers the negative terminal 500. Understandably, in this embodiment, by providing a first extension 611 and a second extension 621, which are respectively adapted to the shapes of the positive terminal 400 and the negative terminal 500, the first extension 611 and the second extension 621 can fit snugly over the outer sidewalls of the positive terminal 400 and the negative terminal 500. On the one hand, this increases the contact area between the first conductive element 610 and the second conductive element 620 and the positive terminal 400 and the negative terminal 500, respectively, which is beneficial to better achieve the conductive connection between the first conductive element 610 and the second conductive element 620 and the positive terminal 400 and the negative terminal 500, respectively. On the other hand, the first extension 611 and the second extension 621 can better protect the positive terminal 400 and the negative terminal 500, further improving the structural stability and safety performance of the lithium-ion battery structure.

[0034] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, a first sealing ring 700 is further included.

[0035] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, a second sealing ring 800 is further included. The second sealing ring 800 is sleeved on the negative terminal 500 and is connected to the inner wall of the second outlet hole 320. It is understood that, similarly, by providing the second sealing ring 800, which can be a rubber sealing ring, a sealed connection can be achieved between the negative terminal 500 and the inner wall of the second outlet hole 320. In this embodiment, the second sealing ring 800 extends to the outer edge of the second outlet hole 320, ensuring a complete seal of the second outlet hole 320 and ensuring the overall sealing performance of the lithium-ion battery structure.

[0036] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3In one embodiment, the first sealing ring 700 is provided with a first extension portion 710, which covers the outside of the first extension portion 611. It is understood that the first sealing ring 700, near the protective plate 600, has a first extension portion 710 that matches the shape of the first extension portion 611. The first extension portion 710 fits snugly around the outside of the first extension portion 611, providing insulation and protection for the first extension portion 611, and also providing some shock absorption, further improving the overall structural stability and safety performance of the lithium-ion battery structure.
