Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of battery structure technology, and in particular to a battery device and an electrical device. Background Technology

[0002] Energy conservation and emission reduction are key to the sustainable development of the automotive industry, and electric vehicles, due to their energy-saving and environmentally friendly advantages, have become an important component of this sustainable development. For electric vehicles, battery technology is a crucial factor in their development.

[0003] The battery assembly mainly consists of a housing and individual battery cells. The individual battery cells are assembled inside the housing, and the housing is mounted on the electrical device via mounting parts at opposite ends, such as the bottom of an electric vehicle, to form an assembly.

[0004] To improve the overall structural strength of the battery pack, the top of the individual battery cells is usually bonded to the inner wall of the housing. However, in some applications, the bonding area between the battery cells and the housing needs to be located on the side of the electrode terminals away from the mounting portion. This results in a longer cantilever formed by the bonding area relative to the mounting portion, making it easy for the battery cells to detach from the housing under vibration conditions. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a battery device and an electrical device, which aims to solve the problem that when the bonding area between the battery cell and the casing needs to be set on the side of the electrode terminal away from the mounting part, the cantilever is too long, which causes the fixed connection between the battery cell and the casing formed by bonding the battery cell to the inner wall of the top of the casing when the electrode terminal is set close to the mounting part, and the cantilever is too long.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in the embodiments of this application is as follows:

[0007] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a battery device, including a housing, battery cells, and reinforcing members. The housing includes a first housing and a second housing, with the first housing covering the second housing and forming a receiving cavity. The second housing has mounting portions at opposite ends along a first direction. The battery cells are housed within the receiving cavity, and each battery cell includes a housing and electrode terminals. The housing includes a first wall near the first housing and a second wall near the second housing. The electrode terminals are disposed on the first wall, and the second wall is connected to the second housing. An adhesive area is also provided on the first wall. In the battery cells located in the first direction and adjacent to any mounting portion, the adhesive area is located on the side of the electrode terminal away from the adjacent mounting portion, and the adhesive area is bonded to the first housing. The reinforcing member is housed within the receiving cavity and is connected to the first housing and the second housing. In the first direction, a reinforcing member is provided between at least one mounting portion and an adjacent battery cell.

[0008] The beneficial effects of the embodiments of this application are as follows: The battery device provided in the embodiments of this application uses an adhesive area provided on the side of the electrode terminal away from the adjacent mounting part to be bonded and fixed to the first housing. The cantilever formed by the adhesive area connecting to the first housing is relatively long. By providing a reinforcing member between at least one mounting part and the adjacent battery cell in the first direction, and using the reinforcing member closer to the mounting part to connect the first housing and the second housing, the stability of the entire housing can be effectively improved. This reduces the probability of the housing loosening or being damaged under vibration conditions, and also reduces the probability of the housing separating from the battery cell.

[0009] In some embodiments, in a first direction, the reinforcement abuts against the inner wall surface of the receiving cavity on the side near the mounting portion.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the distance between the reinforcing member and the adjacent mounting part is shorter, and the cantilever formed by the reinforcing member connecting the first box and the second box is shorter. Therefore, the reinforcing member has a better reinforcement effect on the box, and the overall stability of the box is also better.

[0011] In some embodiments, in the first direction, the housing further includes a third wall near the adjacent mounting portion, with the opposite ends of the third wall connected to the first wall and the second wall respectively; in the battery cell located in the first direction and adjacent to any mounting portion, a reinforcing member is connected to the third wall.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the reinforcement is connected to the third wall of the battery cell adjacent in the first direction, which can further improve the connection stability inside the box and thus further improve the overall structural strength of the battery device.

[0013] In some embodiments, in a second direction, a plurality of battery cells are arranged sequentially to form a battery cell assembly, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction; the battery device further includes a busbar component, and the electrode terminals of each battery cell in the battery cell assembly are electrically connected through the busbar component; a protruding structure is provided on the first housing, and the busbar component and the electrode terminals are housed inside the protruding structure.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, an outward protruding structure can be provided on the first housing to accommodate the electrode terminals and busbar components in the battery cell assembly, thereby eliminating the need for overall adjustment of the first housing in the direction away from the second housing, and thus improving the volume utilization rate of the accommodating cavity.

[0015] In some embodiments, the busbar is connected to the inner wall surface of the convex structure.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, connecting the busbar component to the inner wall of the convex structure can further improve the connection stability inside the housing, thereby further improving the overall structural strength of the battery device.

[0017] In some embodiments, the number of battery cell assemblies is at least two groups, and multiple groups of battery cell assemblies are arranged sequentially along a first direction; the number of convex structures is at least one, and the electrode terminals and connected busbars of each battery cell assembly are respectively housed inside the corresponding convex structure.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when there are multiple sets of battery cell modules, the electrode terminals of the multiple sets of battery cell modules and the connected busbar components can be respectively housed inside the corresponding convex structure, so as to further improve the space utilization of the cavity and thus improve the energy density of the battery device.

[0019] In some embodiments, the number of battery cell assemblies is two sets, and the number of protruding structures is two. The electrode terminals of the two sets of battery cell assemblies and the connected busbar components are respectively housed in the corresponding protruding structures.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when there are two sets of battery cell modules, two protruding structures can be used to accommodate the electrode terminals and busbar components in the two sets of battery cell modules respectively, thereby improving the space utilization of the accommodating cavity.

[0021] In some embodiments, in the first direction, the electrode terminals of the battery cells in each group of battery cell assemblies are all disposed at one end of the first wall near the adjacent mounting portion, and two protruding structures are respectively located at opposite ends of the first housing along the first direction.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the electrode terminals are set at one end of the first wall near the adjacent mounting part, and the two opposite ends of the first housing along the first direction are provided with outward protruding structures to respectively accommodate the corresponding electrode terminals and the busbar components. Thus, the outward protruding structures are located on opposite sides of the battery device in the first direction. When the battery device is mounted and used, it occupies less space in the middle area of ​​the power device.

[0023] In some embodiments, the battery device further includes a sampling component electrically connected to a battery cell; at least a portion of the sampling component is housed within a convex structure.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, at least part of the sampling component can be housed within the convex structure, thereby reducing the impact of the sampling component's placement on the space of the receiving cavity, and allowing more space within the receiving cavity to be used for arranging individual battery cells.

[0025] In some embodiments, the mounting portion has a mounting groove along the depth direction of the outwardly protruding structure.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, when the battery device is mounted and assembled through the mounting slot of the mounting part, it can be assembled along the depth direction of the convex structure, which is beneficial to the docking assembly of the convex structure.

[0027] In some embodiments, the electrode terminals include a positive terminal and a negative terminal. On the same battery cell, the distance between the two points on the outer contours of the positive terminal and the outer contours of the negative terminal that are furthest apart along a first direction is less than or equal to half the dimension of the first wall along the first direction.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, and by limiting the distance between the positive and negative terminals, the positive and negative terminals are positioned closer together. This allows for the use of a smaller convex structure to accommodate the positive and negative terminals, thereby reducing the overall size of the battery device.

[0029] In some embodiments, a first insulating protective layer is provided on the inner wall surface of the convex structure, and the busbar component is bonded to the first insulating protective layer.

[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting a first insulating protective layer on the inner wall of the convex structure, the creepage distance between the inner wall of the convex structure and the electrode terminals and the busbar components can be effectively increased, thereby effectively reducing the probability of short circuits.

[0031] In some embodiments, a second insulating protective layer is provided on the inner wall of the first housing, and the adhesive area is bonded to the second insulating protective layer.

[0032] By adopting the above technical solution, a second insulating protective layer is provided on the inner side wall of the first enclosure to increase the creepage distance between the first enclosure and the first wall, and to insulate the first enclosure from the battery cells, thereby reducing the probability of short circuit between the battery cells and the first enclosure.

[0033] In some embodiments, the battery device further includes an insulating film covering at least a portion of the outer casing; the insulating film has an opening that is disposed opposite to the adhesive area.

[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, an insulating film is used to insulate and separate the casing of the box and the battery cell, while an avoidance opening is opened to avoid the adhesive area, thereby improving the connection strength between the battery cell and the first box.

[0035] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide an electrical device, including the battery device as described above, the battery device being used to provide electrical energy.

[0036] The beneficial effects of the embodiments of this application are as follows: The electrical device provided in the embodiments of this application includes the above-mentioned battery device. When the structural strength of the battery device is better, the structural stability of the electrical device is also better. Attached Figure Description

[0051] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0053] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0054] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0055] Currently, judging from market trends, the application of power batteries is becoming increasingly widespread. Power batteries are not only used in energy storage systems such as hydropower, thermal power, wind power, and solar power plants, but also extensively used in electric vehicles such as electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, and electric cars, as well as in military equipment and aerospace. With the continuous expansion of power battery applications, market demand is also constantly increasing.

[0056] The battery assembly mainly consists of a housing and individual battery cells. The battery cells are assembled inside the housing, which is then mounted on the electrical device via mounting brackets at both ends, such as the bottom of an electric vehicle. Electric vehicles generate vibrations during operation, subjecting the battery assembly mounted on the vehicle's bottom to these vibrations. Prolonged exposure to vibration puts significant strain on the battery assembly's structural strength; if the structure is weak, the battery assembly is highly susceptible to damage, thus affecting its lifespan.

[0057] To improve the overall structural strength of battery packs, the top of the individual battery cells is typically bonded to the inner wall of the casing. However, in some applications, such as due to limitations imposed by assembly requirements, space constraints, or manufacturing processes, the bonding area between the battery cells and the casing needs to be located on the side of the electrode terminals away from the mounting portion. This results in a longer cantilever formed by the bonding area relative to the mounting portion, making it easier for the battery cells to detach from the casing under vibration conditions, thus weakening the overall structural strength of the battery pack.

[0058] Based on the above considerations, in order to solve the problem that the fixed connection between the battery cell and the housing is prone to failure when the bonding area between the battery cell and the housing needs to be set on the side of the electrode terminal away from the mounting part due to the long cantilever, a battery device is designed. By setting a reinforcing member between at least one mounting part and the adjacent battery cell in the first direction, and using the reinforcing member closer to the mounting part to connect the first housing and the second housing, the stability of the entire housing can be effectively improved. This reduces the probability of the housing loosening or being damaged under vibration conditions, and also reduces the probability of the housing and the battery cell separating, thus making the structural strength of the entire battery device more stable.

[0059] The battery cells disclosed in this application can be used in electrical devices that use battery devices as a power source or in various energy storage systems that use battery devices as energy storage elements. Electrical devices can be, but are not limited to, mobile phones, tablets, laptops, electric toys, power tools, electric vehicles, electric cars, ships, spacecraft, etc. Electric toys can include stationary or mobile electric toys, such as game consoles, electric car toys, electric ship toys, and electric airplane toys, etc. Spacecraft can include airplanes, rockets, space shuttles, and spacecraft, etc.

[0060] For ease of explanation, the following embodiments will be described using a vehicle 1000 as an example of an electrical device according to an embodiment of this application.

[0066] In some embodiments, the battery device may be a battery pack, which includes a housing 10 and one or more battery cell assemblies 210, the battery cell assemblies 210 being housed in the housing 10.

[0067] As an example, the battery cell assembly 210 can be a battery module, and the battery cell assembly 210 can be housed in the housing 10 by fixing the battery module in the housing 10.

[0068] As an example, the battery cell assembly 210 can also be housed in the housing 10 by directly fixing multiple battery cells 20 to the housing 10.

[0069] As an example, the housing 10 may include a first housing 11 and a second housing 12. The first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are fastened together to form a closed space inside the housing 10 to house the battery cell assembly 210. Here, "closed" refers to covering or closing, and can be either sealed or unsealed. The first housing 11 may be a top cover or a bottom plate.

[0070] As an example, the housing 10 may include a top cover, a frame, and a bottom plate. The first housing 11 may be the top cover, and the second housing 12 may be an open-type accommodating structure formed by the combination of the frame and the bottom plate. The top cover and the bottom plate are respectively connected to the frame, so that the interior of the housing 10 forms a closed space to accommodate the battery cell assembly 210.

[0071] In some embodiments, the housing 10 can be part of the chassis structure of the vehicle 1000. For example, a portion of the housing 10 can be at least a part of the floor of the vehicle 1000, or a portion of the housing 10 can be at least a part of the crossbeams and longitudinal beams of the vehicle 1000. In other embodiments, the housing 10 can also be mounted on the bottom of the vehicle 1000.

[0075] According to some embodiments of this application, refer to Figures 2 to 4This application provides a battery device 100, including a housing 10, a battery cell 20, and a reinforcing member 40. The housing 10 includes a first housing 11 and a second housing 12. The first housing 11 covers the second housing 12 and forms a receiving cavity 101. The second housing 12 has mounting portions 13 at opposite ends along a first direction X. The battery cell 20 is housed in the receiving cavity 101. The battery cell 20 includes a housing 21 and electrode terminals 23. The housing 21 includes a first wall 21a near the first housing 11 and a second wall 21b near the second housing 12. 3 is disposed on the first wall 21a, and the second wall 21b is connected to the second housing 12; the first wall 21a is also provided with an adhesive area 24, which is located on the side of the electrode terminal 23 away from the adjacent mounting part 13 in the first direction X and is bonded to the first housing 11; the reinforcing member 40 is housed in the receiving cavity 101 and is connected to the first housing 11 and the second housing 12; in the first direction X, at least one end of the mounting part 13 is provided with a reinforcing member 40 between it and the adjacent battery cell 20.

[0076] The housing 10 includes a first housing 11 and a second housing 12. In some embodiments, the first housing 11 may be a top cover, and the second housing 12 includes a frame and a bottom plate. The bottom plate covers one end of the frame and is combined to form a semi-closed structure with an opening. The first housing 11 covers the second housing 12, that is, the top cover covers the other end of the frame relative to the bottom plate, so that the top cover and the bottom plate together enclose the frame and form a receiving cavity 101.

[0077] The second housing 12 has mounting portions 13 at opposite ends along the first direction X. Understandably, the mounting portions 13 are used to fix and suspend the battery device 100 onto an external structure, enabling the entire battery device 100 to be mounted. Optionally, the mounting portions 13 can be, but are not limited to, block structures, plate structures, rod structures, beam structures, etc. Taking a mounting beam as an example, the mounting beam can be fixed to opposite ends of the second housing 12 along the first direction X by welding, fastener connection, etc. Connection holes can be provided on the mounting beam for fasteners to pass through and fix the mounting beam to the external structure.

[0078] The battery cell 20 is housed within the receiving cavity 101; wherein, the battery cell 20 refers to the smallest unit constituting the battery device 100. Figure 3 As shown, the battery cell 20 includes a housing 21, an electrode assembly 22, electrode terminals 23, and other functional components. The electrode assembly 22 is housed inside the housing 21, and the electrode terminals 23 are disposed on the housing 21. The electrode terminals 23 are electrically connected to the internal electrode assembly 22 to realize the input or output of electrical energy.

[0079] In some embodiments, the housing 21 includes a housing 211 and an end cap 212 that covers the opening of the housing 211. The end cap 212 is a component that covers the opening of the housing 211 to isolate the internal environment of the battery cell 20 from the external environment. The shape of the end cap 212 may be adapted to the shape of the housing 211 to fit it. Optionally, the end cap 212 may be made of a material with a certain hardness and strength (such as aluminum alloy), so that the end cap 212 is less prone to deformation under pressure and impact, allowing the battery cell 20 to have higher structural strength and improved reliability. Functional components such as electrode terminals 23 may be provided on the end cap 212. The electrode terminals 23 can be used for electrical connection with the electrode assembly 22 for outputting or inputting electrical energy into the battery cell 20. In some embodiments, the end cap 212 may also be provided with a pressure relief mechanism for releasing internal pressure when the internal pressure or temperature of the battery cell 20 reaches a threshold. The end cap 212 can be made of various materials, such as, but not limited to, copper, iron, aluminum, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, and plastic. In some embodiments, an insulating element can be provided on the inner side of the end cap 212. The insulating element can be used to isolate the electrical connection components inside the housing 211 from the end cap 212 to reduce the risk of short circuits. For example, the insulating element can be plastic, rubber, etc.

[0080] The housing 211 is a component used to cooperate with the end cap 212 to form the internal environment of the battery cell 20. This internal environment can accommodate the electrode assembly 22, electrolyte, and other components. The housing 211 and the end cap 212 can be independent components. An opening can be provided on the housing 211, and the end cap 212 can be used to close the opening to form the internal environment of the battery cell 20. Alternatively, the end cap 212 and the housing 211 can be integrated. Specifically, the end cap 212 and the housing 211 can form a common connecting surface before other components are inserted into the housing. When it is necessary to encapsulate the interior of the housing 211, the end cap 212 closes the housing 211. The housing 211 can be of various shapes and sizes, such as cuboid, cylindrical, hexagonal prism, etc. Specifically, the shape of the housing 211 can be determined according to the specific shape and size of the electrode assembly 22. The housing 211 can be made of various materials, such as, but not limited to, copper, iron, aluminum, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, plastic, etc.

[0081] Electrode assembly 22 is the component in the battery cell 20 where electrochemical reactions occur. The casing 211 may contain one or more electrode assemblies 22. The electrode assembly 22 is mainly formed by winding or stacking positive and negative electrode sheets, and typically a separator is provided between the positive and negative electrode sheets. The portions of the positive and negative electrode sheets containing active material constitute the main body of the electrode assembly 22, while the portions of the positive and negative electrode sheets without active material each constitute a tab 22a. The positive and negative tabs may be located together at one end of the main body or separately at both ends of the main body. During the charging and discharging process of the battery, the positive and negative active materials react with the electrolyte, and the tabs 22a connect to the electrode terminals 23 to form a current loop.

[0082] The outer casing 21 also includes a first wall 21a and a second wall 21b; wherein, the first wall 21a refers to the side wall structure of the outer casing 21 near the first housing 11, and in some embodiments, the first wall 21a refers to the side wall of the outer casing 21 with the end cap 212 facing the first housing 11. The second wall 21b refers to the side wall structure of the outer casing 21 near the second housing 12, and in some embodiments, the second wall 21b refers to the side wall of the outer casing 211 facing the bottom plate in the second housing 12; the second wall 21b can be connected to the inner wall of the second housing 12 by means of adhesive, fastener connection, snap connection, abutment, etc.

[0083] The first wall 21a of the outer casing 21 is also provided with electrode terminals 23 and adhesive area 24; wherein, electrode terminals 23 refer to mechanical parts with good conductivity, such as copper terminals, aluminum terminals, alloy terminals, etc. Adhesive area 24 refers to the area on the first wall 21a used for applying adhesive and bonding to the inner wall surface of the first housing 11. It should be understood that the distance between the adhesive area 24 on the first wall 21a and the first housing 11 is greater than the distance between the electrode terminals 23 on the first wall 21a and the first housing 11; in order to enable the adhesive area 24 to be successfully bonded to the first housing 11, a filler block can be used to bond the filler block between the adhesive area 24 on the first wall 21a and the first housing 11; or, a clearance groove can be provided on the inner wall surface of the first housing 11 so that the electrode terminals 23 are accommodated in the clearance groove, so that the adhesive area 24 on the first wall 21a can abut against the inner wall surface of the first housing 11 and form an adhesive bond.

[0084] The adhesive area 24 is located on the side of the first wall 21a away from the adjacent mounting portion 13 of the electrode terminal 23. Thus, the electrode terminal 23 is provided at one end of the first wall 21a near the adjacent mounting portion 13, for example, at the end region of the first wall 21a near the adjacent mounting portion 13, or in a section of the first wall 21a along the first direction X, biased towards the adjacent mounting portion 13.

[0085] It should be understood that, in the first direction X, when a battery cell 20 is disposed between one end of the mounting portion 13 and another battery cell 20 disposed between the other end of the mounting portion 13, the positions of the electrode terminal 23 and the adhesive area 24 on the first wall 21a of the battery cell 20 disposed therebetween can be arbitrarily set. For example, the adhesive area 24 can be located on either side of the electrode terminal 23.

[0086] The battery cell 20 adjacent to the mounting portion 13 in the first direction X refers to one or more battery cells 20 with the smallest distance from the mounting portion 13 in the first direction X.

[0087] Optionally, the number of battery cells 20 can be any number, such as one, two, three, or more. The battery cells 20 can be disposed anywhere in the receiving cavity 101; for example, the battery cells 20 can be disposed near the mounting portion 13 at either end in the first direction X.

[0088] The reinforcing member 40 is housed within the receiving cavity 101. Optionally, the reinforcing member 40 may include, but is not limited to, various configurations such as reinforcing plates, reinforcing blocks, reinforcing rods, and reinforcing ribs. The number of reinforcing members 40 may be one or more. The reinforcing member 40 may be connected to the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 respectively by means of adhesive bonding, fastener connection, snap-fit ​​connection, etc.

[0089] In the first direction X, a reinforcing member 40 is provided between at least one end of the mounting portion 13 and the adjacent battery cell 20. Optionally, the reinforcing member 40 may be provided only between one end of the mounting portion 13 and the adjacent battery cell 20 in the first direction X; or, mounting portions 13 may be provided between the mounting portions 13 at both opposite ends of the mounting portion 13 and the respective adjacent battery cells 20 in the first direction X, thereby simultaneously reinforcing the opposite ends of the housing 10 along the first direction X. The reinforcing member 40 may be provided at any location within the receiving cavity 101 and between the mounting portion 13 and the adjacent battery cell 20. For example, the reinforcing member 40 may fill the gap within the receiving cavity 101 and between the mounting portion 13 and the adjacent battery cell 20, or the reinforcing member 40 may occupy only a portion of the space within the receiving cavity 101 and between the mounting portion 13 and the adjacent battery cell 20.

[0090] The reinforcing member 40 is connected to the first housing 11 and the second housing 12; optionally, the reinforcing member 40 can be connected to any point on the inner wall surface of the first housing 11 and any point on the inner wall surface of the second housing 12. Exemplarily, in some embodiments, the first housing 11 includes a top cover, and the second housing 12 includes a frame and a bottom plate covering one end of the frame; the reinforcing member 40 can be connected to the inner wall surface of the top cover, and also to the inner wall surface of the frame and / or the inner wall surface of the bottom plate.

[0091] The battery device 100 provided in this application embodiment is bonded and fixed to the first housing 11 by means of an adhesive area 24 provided on the side of the electrode terminal 23 away from the adjacent mounting part 13. The cantilever formed by the adhesive area 24 connected to the first housing 11 is relatively long. By providing a reinforcing member 40 between at least one end of the mounting part 13 and the adjacent battery cell 20 in the first direction X, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are connected by the reinforcing member 40 which is closer to the mounting part 13. This can effectively improve the stability of the entire housing 10, thereby reducing the probability of the housing 10 loosening or being damaged under vibration conditions, and also reducing the probability of the housing 10 detaching from the battery cell 20.

[0092] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, in the first direction X, the reinforcing member 40 abuts against the inner wall surface of the receiving cavity 101 near the mounting portion 13.

[0093] In this embodiment, the reinforcing member 40 is abutted against the inner wall surface of the receiving cavity 101 near the mounting part 13. Thus, the reinforcing member 40 is closest to the adjacent mounting part 13. When the reinforcing member 40 connects the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 at this location, the distance of the cantilever formed relative to the adjacent mounting part 13 is shorter, thereby effectively improving the connection stability of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12, and thus improving the overall structural stability of the housing 10. The housing 10 can better adapt to the vibration environment without loosening or being damaged, and the consistency between the housing 10 and the battery cell 20 is better, and the probability of the battery cell 20 detaching from the first housing 11 is also lower.

[0094] When the reinforcing member 40 abuts against the inner wall surface of the receiving cavity 101 near the mounting part 13, the connection between the reinforcing member 40 and the first box 11 and the second box 12 can be that the reinforcing member 40 is connected to the inner wall surface of the first box 11 along its own thickness direction, and the reinforcing member 40 is connected to the inner wall surface of the second box 12 along its own thickness direction and / or the inner wall surface along the first direction X.

[0095] With this configuration, the distance between the reinforcing member 40 and the adjacent mounting part 13 is shorter, and the cantilever formed by the reinforcing member 40 connecting the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 is shorter. Therefore, the reinforcing member 40 has a better reinforcement effect on the housing 10, and the overall stability of the housing 10 is also better, thereby effectively improving the overall structural strength of the battery device 100.

[0096] Please refer to Figures 2 to 6 In some embodiments, in the first direction X, the housing 21 further includes a third wall 21c near the adjacent mounting portion 13, with the opposite ends of the third wall 21c connected to the first wall 21a and the second wall 21b respectively; in the battery cell 20 in the first direction X and adjacent to any mounting portion 13, the reinforcing member 40 is connected to the third wall 21c.

[0097] It should be understood that the third wall 21c refers to the wall surface of the battery cell 20 along the first direction X and facing the adjacent mounting portion 13. In some embodiments, when the housing 21 includes the housing 211 and the end cap 212, the third wall 21c may be the outer wall surface of the housing 211 along the first direction X.

[0098] In a battery cell 20 disposed adjacent to any mounting portion 13 in the first direction X, a reinforcing member 40 is connected to a third wall 21c; that is, the reinforcing member 40 is connected to the third wall 21c of the adjacent battery cell 20. Optionally, the reinforcing member 40 can be fixedly connected to the third wall 21c of the battery cell 20 by means of adhesive, snap-fit ​​connection, or other methods. Exemplarily, in some embodiments, the reinforcing member 40 abuts against the inner wall surface of the receiving cavity 101 along the first direction X and facing the adjacent mounting portion 13, and an installation gap is formed between the reinforcing member 40 and the third wall 21c of the adjacent battery cell 20; by injecting adhesive into the installation gap, the reinforcing member 40 and the third wall 21c can be bonded and fixed by the injected adhesive.

[0099] This configuration connects the reinforcing member 40 to the third wall 21c of the battery cell 20 adjacent in the first direction X, which can improve the connection strength between the reinforcing member 40 and the battery cell 20, thereby further improving the connection stability inside the housing 10, and further improving the overall structural strength of the battery device 100.

[0100] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6In some embodiments, in the second direction Y, a plurality of battery cells 20 are arranged sequentially to form a battery cell assembly 210, and the second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X; the battery device 100 also includes a busbar 30, and the electrode terminals 23 of each battery cell 20 in the battery cell assembly 210 are electrically connected through the busbar 30; the first housing 11 is provided with an outward protrusion structure 111, and the busbar 30 and the electrode terminals 23 are housed inside the outward protrusion structure 111.

[0101] The second direction Y mentioned above refers to the direction perpendicular to the first direction X. In some embodiments, the first direction X and the second direction Y can be the length direction and width direction of the first housing 11, respectively. For example, in some embodiments, the first direction X can be the length direction of the first housing 11, and the second direction Y can be the width direction of the first housing 11. Thus, multiple battery cells 20 can be arranged sequentially along the width direction of the first housing 11 to form a battery cell assembly 210. The number of battery cell assemblies 210 can be one or more.

[0102] It should be understood that when the cavity 101 contains at least one set of battery cell assembly 210, the reinforcing member 40 is disposed between the mounting portion 13 and the set of battery cell assembly 210 disposed adjacent to the mounting portion 13.

[0103] The busbar component 30 may be, but is not limited to, a conductive sheet structure such as an aluminum sheet, iron sheet, copper sheet, silver sheet, or gold sheet; the busbar component 30 is used to connect the electrode terminals 23 of different battery cells 20 in the battery cell assembly 210, so that the battery cells 20 in the battery cell assembly 210 can form an electrical connection by means of series and / or parallel connection.

[0104] The first housing 11 is provided with a protruding structure 111. It should be understood that the protruding structure 111 refers to a structure formed by a portion of the inner wall surface of the first housing 11 protruding outwards from the receiving cavity 101, which is recessed in a direction opposite to the second housing 12. Thus, the wall surface of the protruding structure 111 near the second housing 12 will form a recessed structure facing away from the second housing 12. That is, the distance from the inner wall surface of the protruding structure 111 to the first wall 21a is greater than the distance from the inner wall surface of the first housing 11 (excluding the protruding structure 111) to the first wall 21a. Therefore, the protruding structure 111 can be used to accommodate the electrode terminal 23 provided on the first wall 21a of the battery cell 20, and the busbar component 30 provided on the electrode terminal 23, so that the first housing 11 can be bonded and fixed to the adhesive area 24 of the first wall 21a.

[0105] The first housing 11 may have one protruding structure 111, which can accommodate and avoid the electrode terminals 23 and current-carrying components 30 of all battery cells 20. Alternatively, the first housing 11 may have two or more protruding structures 111, which can accommodate and avoid the electrode terminals 23 and current-carrying components 30 of each group of battery cell assemblies 210. For example, the electrode terminals 23 and current-carrying components 30 of each group of battery cell assemblies 210 may be accommodated in a corresponding protruding structure 111, or the electrode terminals 23 and current-carrying components 30 of each two or more adjacent groups of battery cell assemblies 210 may be accommodated in the same protruding structure 111.

[0106] It should be understood that, compared to increasing the space inside the cavity 101 to increase the distance between the first housing 11 and the second housing 12, and then using filler to indirectly connect the adhesive area 24 of the first wall 21a of the battery cell 20 and the first housing 11, the method of setting the protruding structure 111 on the first wall 21a can effectively reduce the increase in the volume of the entire housing 10, thereby improving the space utilization rate inside the housing 10.

[0107] With this configuration, an outwardly protruding structure 111 can be provided on the first housing 11 to accommodate the electrode terminals 23 and the busbar component 30 in the battery cell assembly 210, thereby eliminating the need to make overall adjustments to the first housing 11 in the direction away from the second housing 12, which can improve the volume utilization rate of the accommodating cavity 101 and achieve the purpose of increasing the energy density of the battery device 100.

[0108] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the busbar component 30 is connected to the inner wall surface of the convex structure 111.

[0109] Optionally, the busbar component 30 can be fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protruding structure 111 by means of adhesive, snap-fit ​​connection or other methods. For example, in some embodiments, the busbar component 30 can be glued to the inner wall of the protruding structure 111 to achieve the connection and fixation between the busbar component 30 and the first housing 11.

[0110] It should be understood that in the battery cell 20 located in the first direction X and adjacent to any mounting portion 13, the adhesive area 24 is located on the side of the electrode terminal 23 away from the adjacent mounting portion 13; that is, the busbar 30 is closer to the adjacent mounting portion 13 in the first direction X, and the cantilever formed by the connection between the busbar 30 and the first housing 11 is shorter than the cantilever formed by the connection between the adhesive area 24 and the first housing 11, thereby making the overall connection stability between the battery cell 20 and the first housing 11 better.

[0111] This configuration, which connects the busbar 30 to the inner wall of the convex structure 111, can further enhance the connection stability inside the housing 10, thereby further enhancing the overall structural strength of the battery device 100.

[0112] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the number of battery cell assemblies 210 is at least two sets, and multiple sets of battery cell assemblies 210 are arranged sequentially along the first direction X; the number of protruding structures 111 is at least one, and the electrode terminals 23 of each battery cell assembly 210 and the connected busbar 30 are respectively housed inside the corresponding protruding structure 111.

[0113] In this embodiment, the number of battery cell assemblies 210 is two or more, and the multiple sets of battery cells 20 are distributed along the first direction X. Thus, the first set of battery cell assemblies 210 and the last set of battery cell assemblies 210 arranged sequentially along the first direction X are respectively adjacent to the mounting portions 13 at opposite ends.

[0114] When the number of battery cell assembly 210 is three or more, the battery cells 20 in the battery cell assembly 210 located between the first group of battery cell assembly 210 and the last group of battery cell assembly 210 are battery cells 20 that are not adjacent to the mounting portion 13; therefore, the electrode terminals 23 of the non-adjacent battery cells 20 can be provided at any location on the first wall 21a, for example, near the mounting portion 13 at either end, or in the middle region of the first wall 21a, and the adhesive area 24 can also be provided at any location on the first wall 21a.

[0115] The first housing 11 is provided with at least one protruding structure 111; optionally, the number of protruding structures 111 can be one, two, or more than two. For example, in some embodiments, the number of protruding structures 111 can be the same as the number of battery cell assemblies 210, so that the electrode terminals 23 and the connected busbar components 30 included in each battery cell assembly 210 can be respectively housed in a corresponding protruding structure 111; or, the number of protruding structures 111 can be less than the number of battery cell assemblies 210, so that the electrode terminals 23 and the busbar components 30 included in two or more adjacent battery cell assemblies 210 can be simultaneously housed in the same protruding structure 111.

[0116] With this configuration, when there are multiple sets of battery cell assemblies 210, the electrode terminals 23 of the multiple sets of battery cell assemblies 210 and the connected busbar components 30 can be respectively housed inside the corresponding protruding structure 111, so as to further improve the space utilization of the receiving cavity 101 and thereby improve the energy density of the battery device 100.

[0117] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, there are two sets of battery cell assemblies 210 and two protruding structures 111. The electrode terminals 23 of the two sets of battery cell assemblies 210 and the connected busbar components 30 are respectively housed in the corresponding protruding structures 111.

[0118] In this embodiment, there are two sets of battery cell assemblies 210. Thus, one set of the two sets of battery cell assemblies 210 is adjacent to one of the mounting parts 13, and the other set of the two sets of battery cell assemblies 210 is adjacent to the other mounting part 13.

[0119] Simultaneously, there are two protruding structures 111, which are spaced apart along the first direction X on the first housing 11. Each of the two protruding structures 111 is used to accommodate the electrode terminal 23 of the corresponding battery cell assembly 210 and the connected busbar component 30. For example, one of the two protruding structures 111 is located on the same side of the first direction X as a battery cell assembly 210 adjacent to one of the mounting portions 13, and the electrode terminal 23 of the battery cell assembly 210 and the connected busbar component 30 are accommodated within the protruding structure 111 on the same side. The other of the two protruding structures 111 is also located on the same side of the first direction X as a battery cell assembly 210 adjacent to another mounting portion 13, and the electrode terminal 23 of the battery cell assembly 210 and the connected busbar component 30 are accommodated within the protruding structure 111 on the same side.

[0120] It should be understood that the position of the protruding structure 111 corresponds to that of the electrode terminal 23 in the battery cell assembly 210 on the same side in the first direction X, so as to accommodate the electrode terminal 23 inside the protruding structure 111. Optionally, the electrode terminal 23 can be disposed at any location on the side of the first wall 21a near the adjacent mounting portion 13, for example, at the end of the first wall 21a near the adjacent mounting portion 13. Thus, the protruding structure 111 can be disposed at opposite ends of the first housing 11 along the first direction X, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, or at any point between the first wall 21a and the adjacent end of the mounting portion 13, the protruding structure 111 can be correspondingly provided at the first housing 11 along the first direction X and biased towards the opposite ends.

[0121] With this configuration, when there are two sets of battery cell assemblies 210, two protruding structures 111 can be used to accommodate the electrode terminals 23 and the busbar components 30 in the two sets of battery cell assemblies 210 respectively. Compared with the method of using one protruding structure 111 for accommodation, the method of using two protruding structures 111 to accommodate the electrode terminals 23 and the busbar components 30 of the corresponding battery cell assemblies 210 can provide the protruding structure 111 only for the first housing 11 where the electrode terminals 23 are located, and there is no need to form an additional protrusion between the electrode terminals 23 of the two sets of battery cell assemblies 210. This can effectively control the increase in volume of the housing 10 and improve the space utilization of the accommodating cavity 101.

[0122] Please refer to Figures 4 to 6 In some embodiments, in the first direction X, the electrode terminals 23 of the battery cells 20 in each group of battery cell assemblies 210 are all disposed at one end of the first wall 21a near the adjacent mounting portion 13, and the two protruding structures 111 are respectively located at opposite ends of the first housing 11 along the first direction X.

[0123] In this embodiment, the electrode terminals 23 of the battery cells 20 in each group of battery cell assemblies 210 are all disposed at one end of the first wall 21a near the adjacent mounting portion 13. As a result, when the busbar 30 disposed on the electrode terminal 23 is connected to the inner wall surface of the convex structure 111, the cantilever distance formed between the busbar 30 and the convex structure 111 and the adjacent mounting portion 13 is shorter. Therefore, the connection stability between the busbar 30 and the convex structure 111 is stronger, and the connection stability between the battery cell assembly 210 and the first housing 11 is better.

[0124] Meanwhile, the two protruding structures 111 are located at opposite ends of the first housing 11 along the first direction X. The two protruding structures 111 are used to accommodate the electrode terminals 23 and the connected busbar components 30 in the corresponding battery cell assembly 210. Furthermore, since the two protruding structures 111 are located at opposite ends of the first housing 11 along the first direction X, the protruding structures 111 have little impact on the space of the middle part above the first housing 11. When the battery device 100 is mounted and used, the protruding structures 111 have little impact on the usable space of the mounted electrical device. For example, taking a vehicle 1000 as an example of an electrical device, the battery device 100 is mounted on the bottom of the vehicle 1000 via a mounting part 13 for use, and the first direction X of the battery device 100 is arranged along the width direction of the vehicle 1000; the first housing 11 is arranged facing the vehicle 1000, and the protruding structure 111 provided on the first housing 11 will affect the bottom space of the vehicle 1000, which may affect the interior passenger space of the vehicle 1000; the two protruding structures 111 are provided at opposite ends of the first housing 11 along the first direction X, that is, the two protruding structures 111 are located at opposite ends of the vehicle 1000 along the width direction. Therefore, the protruding structure 111 has a lower impact on the middle part of the vehicle 1000 along the width direction, and the impact on the interior passenger space of the vehicle 1000 is also lower.

[0125] With this configuration, the electrode terminal 23 is located at one end of the first wall 21a near the adjacent mounting part 13, and protruding structures 111 are provided at opposite ends of the first housing 11 along the first direction X to respectively accommodate the corresponding electrode terminal 23 and the busbar 30. This makes the protruding structures 111 located on opposite sides of the battery device 100 in the first direction X. When the battery device 100 is mounted and used, it occupies less space in the middle area of ​​the power device.

[0126] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the battery device 100 further includes a sampling component (not shown) electrically connected to the battery cell 20; at least a portion of the sampling component is housed within the protruding structure 111.

[0127] The sampling component is used to collect information such as temperature and voltage of the battery cell 20 by being electrically connected to the battery cell 20, so as to monitor the working status of the battery cell 20.

[0128] With this configuration, at least a portion of the sampling component can be accommodated within the convex structure 111, thereby reducing the spatial impact of the sampling component's arrangement on the receiving cavity 101. More space within the receiving cavity 101 can be used to arrange the battery cells 20, thus effectively increasing the energy density within the receiving cavity 101.

[0129] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 ,or Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the mounting part 13 has a mounting groove 131 along the depth direction of the outward protrusion structure 111.

[0130] It should be understood that the mounting slot 131 is formed on the mounting portion 13, and fasteners are inserted through the mounting slot 131 to achieve a fixed assembly with the mounting portion 13, thereby realizing the mounting and installation of the battery device 100. Optionally, the number of mounting slots 131 formed on each mounting portion 13 can be any number of one, two, or more. When there are multiple mounting slots 131, the multiple mounting slots 131 can be arranged in any manner; for example, in some embodiments, the multiple mounting slots 131 can be arranged sequentially at intervals along the second direction.

[0131] It should be understood that the depth direction of the convex structure 111 refers to the direction in which the convex structure 111 protrudes outward from the receiving cavity 101.

[0132] With this configuration, when the battery device 100 is mounted and assembled through the mounting groove 131 of the mounting part 13, it can be assembled along the depth direction of the protruding structure 111, which is beneficial for the docking assembly of the protruding structure 111. For example, when the battery device 100 is mounted on the bottom of the vehicle, the protruding structure 111 of the battery device 100 docks and assembles with the groove on the bottom of the vehicle to avoid collision.

[0133] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 In some embodiments, the electrode terminal 23 includes a positive terminal 231 and a negative terminal 232. On the same battery cell 20, the distance between the two points on the outer contour of the positive terminal 231 and the outer contour of the negative terminal 232 that are furthest apart along the first direction X is less than or equal to half the dimension of the first wall 21a along the first direction X.

[0134] The positive terminal 231 is used to electrically connect to the positive electrode plate in the electrode assembly 22 inside the housing 21, and the negative terminal 232 is used to electrically connect to the negative electrode plate in the electrode assembly 22 inside the housing 21. External devices can be connected simultaneously using both the positive terminal 231 and the negative terminal 232 to achieve the input or output of electrical energy. It should be understood that the specific positions of the positive terminal 231 and the negative terminal 232 shown in the figure are illustrative, and the positive terminal 231 and the negative terminal 232 can also be set at multiple locations as described above.

[0135] In this embodiment, in the first direction X, the distance between the two points on the outer contours of the positive terminal 231 and the negative terminal 232 that are furthest apart is limited to less than or equal to half the size of the first wall 21a. This allows the positive terminal 231 and the negative terminal 232 to be positioned close together on the first wall 21a, resulting in a smaller distance between them. Simultaneously, the distance between the busbar 30 for connecting the positive terminals 231 of two adjacent battery cells 20 in the battery cell assembly 210 and the negative terminals 232 for connecting two adjacent battery cells 20 in the battery cell assembly 210 is also smaller. Therefore, the size of the protruding structure 111 for accommodating the positive terminals 231, negative terminals 232, and busbar 30 in the battery cell assembly 210 is further reduced in the first direction X.

[0136] By limiting the distance between the positive terminal 231 and the negative terminal 232, the positive terminal 231 and the negative terminal 232 are positioned closer together. This allows the use of a smaller protruding structure 111 to accommodate the positive terminal 231 and the negative terminal 232, thereby reducing the impact of the protruding structure 111 on the overall size of the housing 10 and thus reducing the overall size of the battery device 100.

[0137] Please refer to Figures 4 to 6 In some embodiments, a first insulating protective layer (not shown in the figure) is provided on the inner wall surface of the convex structure 111, and the busbar component 30 is bonded to the first insulating protective layer.

[0138] Optionally, the first insulating protective layer can be fixed to the inner wall of the protruding structure 111 by means of bonding, spraying, snap-fit ​​connection, etc.; the first insulating protective layer can be, but is not limited to, an insulating protective film, an insulating coating, or other structures with good insulating performance. The busbar component 30 can be bonded to the first insulating protective layer to form a connection with the protruding structure 111, and the first insulating protective layer can provide insulation separation between the protruding structure 111 and the busbar component 30.

[0139] With this configuration, by providing a first insulating protective layer on the inner wall of the convex structure 111, the creepage distance between the inner wall of the convex structure 111 and the electrode terminal 23 and the bus component 30 can be effectively increased, thereby effectively reducing the probability of short circuit.

[0140] Please refer to Figures 4 to 6 In some embodiments, a second insulating protective layer (not shown in the figure) is provided on the inner wall of the first housing 11, and the adhesive area 24 is bonded to the second insulating protective layer.

[0141] Optionally, the second insulating protective layer can be fixed to the inner wall of the protruding structure 111 by means of bonding, spraying, snap-fit ​​connection, etc.; the second insulating protective layer can be, but is not limited to, an insulating protective film, an insulating coating, or other structures with better insulating performance. The adhesive area 24 can be bonded to the second insulating protective layer to achieve the connection and fixation between the adhesive area 24 and the first housing 11.

[0142] This configuration, by providing a second insulating protective layer on the inner sidewall of the first housing 11, increases the creepage distance between the first housing 11 and the first wall 21a, and provides insulation separation between the first housing 11 and the battery cell 20, thereby reducing the probability of a short circuit between the battery cell 20 and the first housing 11.

[0143] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the battery device 100 further includes an insulating film (not shown) covering at least a portion of the outer casing 21; the insulating film has an opening (not shown) opposite to the adhesive area 24.

[0144] The insulating film can refer to a film layer structure with superior insulation properties. The insulating film covers at least a portion of the outer casing 21 to provide insulation protection for at least a portion of the outer casing 21. Optionally, the insulating film can be fixed to the outer casing 21 by adhesive bonding.

[0145] A clearance opening refers to a through-hole structure formed in the insulating film; the number of clearance openings can be one, two, or more. The clearance opening is positioned opposite the adhesive area 24, meaning the position of the clearance opening corresponds to the position of the adhesive area 24. The adhesive area 24 can be exposed at the clearance opening, thus allowing the adhesive area 24 to be directly bonded and fixed to the first housing 11 through the clearance opening. Exemplarily, in some embodiments, the size of the clearance opening can be set to be the same as the size of the adhesive area 24, or the clearance opening can be slightly larger than the adhesive area 24, to achieve clearance for the adhesive area 24.

[0146] This configuration uses an insulating film to insulate and separate the casing 21 of the housing 10 and the battery cell 20, while also providing an opening to allow for the adhesive area 24 to pass through, thereby improving the connection strength between the battery cell 20 and the first housing 11.
