The thickness of the third plate segment 123 is T3. T2 and T3 can satisfy: T3 ≥ T2. This ensures the contact area between the third plate segment 123 and the second plate 21, facilitating the connection of the battery cover 1 to the second plate 21. The thickness of the second plate segment 122 is T4, and T2 and T4 can satisfy: T4 ≥ T2, so as to increase the mechanical strength of the second plate segment 122. When the first pole assembly 30 and the second plate segment 122 are insulated and fixedly connected, the second plate segment 122 is not easily deformed, so as to improve the reliability and sealing of the connection between the first pole assembly 30 and the second plate segment 122.

[0090] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the second connection portion 13 also includes a second flange 132, which is connected to the end of the connecting plate section 131 away from the main body portion 11.

[0092] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 8 and 9, in the first direction, i.e., the length of the battery casing 10, the length of the first flange 124 is W1, and W1 satisfies the relationship: 0.5mm≤W1≤4mm. It is understood that when W1 is less than 0.5mm, the length of the first flange 124 is small, making it difficult to machine, and the contact area between the first flange 124 and the second plate 21 is also small. The first flange 124 has little effect on the reliability of the connection between the first connecting portion 12 and the second plate 21. When W1 is greater than 4mm, the length of the first flange 124 is large, and the first flange 124 occupies a large space, which may reduce the energy density of the battery 100. In this embodiment, W1 can be 0.5mm, 2mm, or 4mm to ensure sufficient contact area between the first flange 124 and the second plate 21 to facilitate connection between the two. The first flange 124 occupies a small space, which has a minimal impact on the energy density of the battery 100.

[0093] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 8 and 10, the length of the second flange 132 in the longitudinal direction of the battery case 10 is W2, and W2 satisfies the relationship: 0.5mm≤W2≤4mm. It can be understood that when W2 is less than 0.5mm, the length of the second flange 132 is small, the second flange 132 is difficult to process, and the contact area between the second flange 132 and the second plate 21 is also small. The second flange 132 has little effect on the reliability of the connection between the second connecting portion 13 and the second plate 21. When W2 is greater than 4mm, the length of the second flange 132 is large, the second flange 132 occupies a large space, and the energy density of the battery 100 is reduced. In this embodiment, W2 can be 0.5mm, 2mm, or 4mm to ensure sufficient contact area between the second flange 132 and the second plate 21 to facilitate connection between the two. The second flange 132 occupies a small space, which has little impact on the energy density of the battery 100.

[0094] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to Figures 1 to 3, the battery case 10 further includes a sealing assembly 40, the first connecting portion 12 has an injection hole 31 connected to the accommodating space, and the sealing assembly 40 is used to seal the injection hole 31. When the battery 100 is manufactured, the electrolyte can be injected into the accommodating space through the injection hole 31. After the electrolyte injection is completed, the injection hole 31 can be blocked by the sealing assembly 40 to seal the injection hole 31 and prevent the electrolyte in the accommodating space from flowing out of the battery case 10.

[0095] As shown in Figure 2, the pole core 20 includes a pole core body 201 and a first pole lug unit 202 and a second pole lug unit 203 extending from the pole core body 201. The electrical properties of the first pole lug unit 202 and the second pole lug unit 203 are opposite. The first pole lug unit 202 can be electrically connected to the first pole column assembly 30 to form the positive electrode of the battery 100, the second pole lug unit 203 can be connected to the second pole column assembly 60 to form the negative electrode of the battery 100, or the second pole lug unit 203 is electrically connected to the battery case 10 to form the negative electrode of the battery 100.

[0096] The electrode core body 201 includes a positive electrode sheet, a diaphragm and a negative electrode sheet. The diaphragm is arranged between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet. After the electrode core 20 is prepared and formed by a winding or lamination process, the two side surfaces of the electrode core body 201 in the length direction of the battery shell 10 have a stacked structure with gaps formed by the positive electrode sheet, the diaphragm and the negative electrode sheet.

[0097] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG3 , an injection hole 31 is provided in the first plate segment 121 , and the surface of the first plate segment 121 facing the accommodating space may be opposite to the laminated structure of the pole core body 201 , so that when the electrolyte is injected into the accommodating space through the injection hole 31 , the electrolyte may directly penetrate into the interior of the pole core body 201 through the gaps between the positive electrode sheet, the diaphragm and the negative electrode sheet, thereby facilitating improving the infiltration efficiency of the electrolyte into the pole core 20 and shortening the injection process time of the battery 100 .

[0098] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the sealing assembly 40 includes a sealing plug 401, which is at least partially disposed in the injection hole 31, or the sealing assembly 40 includes a sealing cover 402, which is connected to the first plate segment 121 on the side of the injection hole 31 away from the accommodating space, or the sealing assembly 40 includes a sealing plug 401 and a sealing cover 402, which is at least partially disposed in the injection hole 31, and the sealing cover 402 is connected to the first plate segment 121 on the side of the injection hole 31 away from the accommodating space, so as to ensure the sealing effect of the sealing assembly 40 on the injection hole 31.

[0099] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the sealing assembly 40 includes a sealing plug 401, which is at least partially disposed in the injection hole 31. After the electrolyte injection is completed, the sealing plug 401 is inserted into the injection hole 31 to seal the injection hole 31, thereby achieving sealing of the injection hole 31.

[0100] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the sealing assembly 40 includes a sealing cover 402, which is connected to the first plate segment 121 on the side of the liquid injection hole 31 facing away from the accommodation space. After the electrolyte is injected, the sealing cover 402 can be fixedly connected to the first plate segment 121 and cover the liquid injection hole 31, thereby sealing the liquid injection hole 31. In this embodiment, the sealing cover 402 and the first plate segment 121 can be fixed by welding or bonding.

[0101] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in Figure 3, the sealing assembly 40 includes a sealing plug 401 and a sealing cover 402. The sealing plug 401 is at least partially disposed in the liquid injection hole 31, and the sealing cover 402 is connected to the first plate segment 121 on the side of the liquid injection hole 31 away from the accommodating space. After the electrolyte injection is completed, the sealing plug 401 can be first inserted into the liquid injection hole 31 to seal the liquid injection hole 31, and then the sealing cover 402 is fixedly connected to the first plate segment 121. At this time, the sealing cover 402 can be pressed on the outside of the sealing plug 401. During the process of pressing the sealing cover 402 on the sealing plug 401, the sealing plug 401 will be squeezed to improve the sealing effect of the sealing plug 401. At the same time, the setting of the sealing plug 401 and the sealing cover 402 can also improve the reliability of the sealing assembly 40. When the sealing plug 401 ages and fails, the sealing cover 402 can still ensure the sealing of the liquid injection hole 31.

[0102] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the sealing plug 401 includes a connected sealing main body and a limiting portion. The sealing main body is suitable for interference fit with the injection hole 31, and the limiting portion is suitable for fitting with the outer side surface of the first plate segment 121. The diameter of the limiting portion is larger than the aperture of the injection hole 31. The limiting portion can prevent the sealing plug 401 from falling into the accommodating space through the injection hole 31.

[0103] 1-3 , a battery 100 according to an embodiment of the third aspect of the present disclosure includes: a battery shell 10, a pole core 20 and a first pole assembly 30. The battery shell 10 is the battery shell 10 of the above embodiment. The second plate segment 122 is provided with at least one pole hole. The pole core 20 is provided in the accommodating space. The first pole assembly 30 is passed through the pole hole corresponding thereto and is connected to the pole core 20. That is, a portion of the first pole assembly 30 is located in the accommodating space and is electrically connected to the pole core 20, and another portion of the first pole assembly 30 extends out of the battery shell 10 and can form an electrode of the battery 100. The portion of the first pole assembly 30 extending out of the battery shell 10 can make full use of the space formed by the thickness difference between the thickness thinning area and the main shell portion, so as to make the structure of the battery 100 compact and increase the space utilization of the battery 100 in the electronic device.

[0104] According to the battery 100 of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second connecting portion 13 and the main body 11 are connected to a part of the plate assembly 2 to form a main shell portion, and the first connecting portion 12 is connected to another part of the plate assembly 2 to form a thickness-reduced area. The space formed by the thickness difference between the thickness-reduced area and the main shell portion can be used to accommodate the pole assembly extending out of the battery shell 10, so as to make the structure of the battery 100 compact and increase the space utilization of the battery 100 in the electronic device. In addition, the main body 11, the first connecting portion 12 and the second connecting portion 13 of the battery cover 1 can form multiple different surfaces of the battery shell 10, and the battery cover 1 can provide more assembly surfaces for the plate assembly 2 to facilitate the assembly of the battery 100.

[0105] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 1 to 4 and 11 to 16, the pole core 20 has a first pole lug unit 202, and the first pole column assembly 30 includes a first pole column 301 and a first insulating member 302. The first pole column 301 is penetrated by a pole column hole corresponding to it and is connected to the first pole lug unit 202. The first insulating member 302 is used to separate the first pole column 301 from the second plate segment 122. That is, the first pole column 301 is electrically connected to the first pole lug unit 202, and the first pole column 301 is insulated from the battery case 10 through the first insulating member 302 to avoid a short circuit in the battery 100.

[0106] It should be noted that in the relevant technology, the poles are usually riveted to the side walls extending along the thickness direction of the battery shell. However, for some thinner batteries, the side walls may not have a large enough area to fix the poles, or it is too difficult to rivet the poles on the side walls, resulting in a low battery yield and increased production costs.

[0107] According to the battery 100 of the embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, the second plate segment 122 is arranged opposite to the second plate body 21, and the second plate segment 122 can extend along the length and width directions of the battery shell 10. The size of the second plate segment 122 is not limited by the thickness of the battery 100. At least one pole hole can be opened on the second plate segment 122, and the at least one pole hole includes a first pole hole 32. The first pole hole 32 corresponds to the position of the first pole 301. The first pole 301 can pass through the first pole hole 32 and be fixed to the second plate segment 122. For a thinner battery 100, the second plate segment 122 can still ensure that it has a sufficient size for the first pole 301 to be riveted and fixed, which is conducive to reducing the difficulty of installing the first pole 301, improving the yield of the battery 100, and reducing the production cost of the battery 100.

[0108] In this embodiment, the height of the first pole 301 outside the battery shell 10 is less than or equal to the height difference between the second plate segment 122 and the main body 11 in the thickness direction of the battery shell 10. That is, in the thickness direction of the battery shell 10, the upper end surface of the first pole assembly 30 exposed to the second plate segment 122 will not exceed the upper end surface of the main body 11, so as to improve the space utilization of the battery 100, that is, to improve the energy density of the battery 100 when the size of the battery 100 is constant.

[0109] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 3, 4 and 11 to 16, the first pole assembly 30 also includes a first connector 303, which is connected between the first pole 301 and the first pole lug unit 202. The first insulating member 302 is also used to separate the first connector 303 from the second plate segment 122 to avoid a short circuit in the battery 100, wherein the first connector 303 can be a conductive metal gasket, such as an aluminum gasket, and the first pole 301 can be electrically connected to the first pole lug unit 202 through the first connector 303 within the accommodating space. The first connector 303 can increase the contact area between the first pole assembly 30 and the first pole lug unit 202, thereby facilitating improving the reliability of the connection between the first pole 301 and the second pole lug unit 203.

[0110] It can be understood that since the end face area of ​​the first pole 301 in the accommodating space is small, if the first pole 301 is directly fixed to the first pole lug unit 202, the contact area between the first pole 301 and the first pole lug unit 202 is small, and the connection reliability is poor. Therefore, the first pole 301 can be connected to the second pole lug unit 203 through the first connecting member 303 to increase the contact area between the first pole assembly 30 and the first pole lug unit 202, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the first pole assembly 30 and the first pole lug unit 202.

[0111] In this embodiment, the first connector 303 and the first tab unit 202 can be electrically connected together by welding or bonding. The first connector 303 can increase the contact area between the first electrode assembly 30 and the first tab unit 202 .

[0112] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first pole lug unit 202 may include multiple pole lugs, and the multiple pole lugs may be gathered and pre-welded to form the first pole lug unit 202, and then the first pole lug unit 202 is electrically connected to the first pole 301 or the first connector 303. Alternatively, the multiple pole lugs may be gathered and directly electrically connected to the first pole 301 or the first connector 303. Alternatively, the multiple pole lugs may be gathered and connected to an adapter, and then the adapter is electrically connected to the first pole 301 or the first connector 303.

[0113] 3 , 4 , and 11 - 16 , the first insulating member 302 includes a first sub-insulator 3021 and a second sub-insulator 3022 . The first sub-insulator 3021 , the second sub-insulator 3022 , and the first connector 303 are all provided with through holes suitable for the first pole 301 to pass through. The first pole 301 can pass through the first sub-insulator 3021 , the second plate segment 122 , the second sub-insulator 3022 , and the first connector 303 in sequence. The end of the first pole 301 located in the accommodating space can be riveted to the first connector 303 by extrusion to electrically connect the first pole 301 to the first connector 303 .

[0114] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to Figures 3, 4, and 11-16, the battery 100 further includes a second insulating member 50, which is disposed in the accommodating space. The second insulating member 50 is used to separate the first tab unit 202 from the plate assembly 2 to insulate the first tab unit 202 from the battery housing 10, thereby preventing the battery 100 from short-circuiting.

[0115] 12 , the second insulating member 50 is used to separate the first tab unit 202 from the second plate 21 of the plate assembly 2. The second insulating member 50 is disposed on a side of the first tab unit 202 away from the first pole assembly 30. The second insulating member 50 can be fixedly disposed on a side of the second plate 21 close to the first tab unit 202. The second insulating member 50 can prevent the first tab unit 202 from being electrically connected to the second plate 21. In this embodiment, the second insulating member 50 can be configured as insulating tape or an insulating coating.

[0116] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figure 12, the first pole lug unit 202 is clamped between the second insulating member 50 and the first pole assembly 30, that is, in the thickness direction of the battery shell 10, one side of the first pole lug unit 202 is in contact with the second insulating member 50, and the other side of the first pole lug unit 202 is in contact with the first pole 301 or the first connecting member 303 of the first pole assembly 30, thereby improving the structural compactness of the battery 100, avoiding space waste, and preventing the first pole lug unit 202 from shaking during subsequent use of the battery 100.

[0117] It can be understood that the first pole ear unit 202 can be clamped between the second insulating member 50 and the first pole assembly 30 by reducing the gap between the second plate segment 122 and the second plate body 21 in the thickness direction of the battery shell 10. As a result, the height difference between the second plate segment 122 and the second plate body 21 in the thickness direction of the battery shell 10 can be increased, and the thickness of the battery shell 10 in the thickness thinning area can be further reduced. When the battery 100 is subsequently PACK assembled, the protective plate can be placed in the space formed by the thickness difference between the thickness thinning area and the main shell part, that is, the protective plate can be placed on the step surface formed by the first plate segment 121 and the second plate segment 122, so that the space utilization rate of the electronic device at the battery 100 is higher.

[0118] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the pole core 20 further has a second pole lug unit 203, and the electrical properties of the second pole lug unit 203 are opposite to those of the first pole lug unit 202. The second pole lug unit 203 is connected to the battery shell 10 so that the battery shell 10 forms an electrode with electrical properties opposite to the first pole column assembly 30, wherein the battery shell 10 is a conductive shell, for example, the first pole column assembly 30 forms the positive pole of the battery 100, and the battery shell 10 forms the negative pole of the battery 100.

[0119] In other embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the battery 100 also includes a second pole assembly 60, and the pole core 20 also has a second pole lug unit 203. The electrical properties of the second pole lug unit 203 are opposite to those of the first pole lug unit 202. The second pole assembly 60 is penetrated by a pole hole corresponding to it and is connected to the second pole lug unit 203. The second pole assembly 60 can form an electrode with opposite electrical properties with the first pole assembly 30. For example, the first pole assembly 30 forms the positive pole of the battery 100, and the second pole assembly 60 forms the negative pole of the battery 100. The portion of the second pole assembly 60 extending outside the battery shell 10 can make full use of the space formed by the thickness difference between the thickness thinning area and the main shell portion, so as to make the structure of the battery 100 compact and increase the space utilization of the battery 100 in the electronic device.

[0120] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the second pole assembly 60 can be arranged side by side with the first pole assembly 30 on the second plate segment 122. The second plate segment 122 is provided with a plurality of pole holes, including a first pole hole 32 and a second pole hole 33. The first pole hole 32 corresponds to the position of the first pole 301, and the second pole hole 33 corresponds to the second pole 601. The second pole 601 can pass through the second pole hole 33 and be fixed to the second plate segment 122. The second pole assembly 60 can have the same structure as the first pole assembly 30. In some embodiments, the second pole assembly 60 includes a second pole 601 and a third insulating member 602. The second pole 601 passes through the second plate segment 122 and is connected to the second tab unit 203. The third insulating member 602 is used to separate the second pole 601 from the second plate segment 122. The second pole assembly 60 also includes a second connector 603, which is connected between the second pole 601 and the second tab unit 203. The third insulating member 602 is also used to separate the second connector 603 from the second plate segment 122. The third insulating member 602 includes a third sub-insulator 6021 and a fourth sub-insulator 6022. The second pole 601 can pass through the third sub-insulator 6021, the second plate segment 122, and the fourth sub-insulator 6022 in sequence before being riveted to the second connector 603. The third sub-insulator 6021 can separate the second pole 601 from the second plate segment 122, and the fourth sub-insulator 6022 can separate the second connector 603 from the second plate segment 122. It should be noted that the second insulating member 50 can also extend along the width direction of the battery housing 10 so that the second insulating member 50 is sandwiched between the second tab unit 203 and the second plate body 21. The second insulating member 50 can be used to separate the second tab unit 203 from the second plate body 21.

[0121] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the battery 100 further includes a third electrode assembly, and the electrode core 20 further includes a third electrode tab unit. The third electrode tab unit has the same or opposite electrical properties as the first electrode tab unit 202. The third electrode assembly is provided with a corresponding electrode hole and connected to the third electrode tab unit. The provision of the third electrode assembly and the third electrode tab unit can improve the charging speed of the battery 100. During the charging and discharging process of the battery 100, the first electrode tab unit 202, the second electrode tab unit 203, and the third electrode tab unit can disperse heat to avoid heat concentration in the battery 100, thereby improving the safety of the battery 100. In this embodiment, the structure of the third electrode assembly is the same as that of the first electrode assembly 30.
