[Figure 6] 1 is a cross-sectional view of a spacer provided by an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0025] The following describes in detail the embodiments of the present application, and examples of the described embodiments are shown in the drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals throughout refer to the same or similar elements, or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are illustrative and are intended to be used to explain the present application, but should not be understood as limiting the present application.

[0026] FIG. 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a battery cell 1 provided according to an embodiment of the present application, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the battery cell 1 provided according to an embodiment of the present application, FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of a portion at position A in FIG. 2, FIG. 4 is a structural schematic diagram of a spacer 10 provided according to an embodiment of the present application, FIG. 5 is a front view of the spacer 10 provided according to an embodiment of the present application, and FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the spacer 10 provided according to an embodiment of the present application. Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6, a spacer 10 for a battery cell 1 according to an embodiment of the present application will be described. The spacer 10 includes a spacer body 100 having an accommodating groove 110, a gap 120 formed in a bottom wall of the accommodating groove 110, the gap 120 communicating with the accommodating groove 110, and the gap 120 is suitable for passing a tab 31 of the battery cell 1 through the gap 120, such that a portion of the tab 31 is accommodated in the accommodating groove 110. The width of the spacer body 100 is D, and the width of the gap 120 is d, satisfying the relationship 3*d≦2*D.

[0027] Specifically, the battery cell 1 may include a cover plate component 20, a cell 30, a spacer 10, and a housing 40, wherein the cell 30 may be provided within the housing 40, the spacer 10 may be provided between the cover plate component 20 and the cell 30, and the cover plate component 20 may be fixedly connected to the housing 40, so that the cell 30 and the spacer 10 may be enclosed within the housing 40. When provided in this manner, the spacer 10 presses and fixes the cell 30, thereby preventing the cell 30 from being displaced during the vibration process of the battery cell 1.

[0028] 3 , a tab 31 may be provided at one end of the cell 30, one end of the tab 31 may be electrically connected to positive and negative plates (not shown) inside the cell 30 by welding, and the other end of the tab 31 may be electrically connected to a terminal 50 of the battery cell 1 by welding. This allows the cell 30 to be electrically connected to the terminal 50, and ultimately to an external electric circuit via the terminal 50, thereby enabling the battery cell 1 to charge and discharge. The cover plate component 20 may include a cover plate 21 and a lower plastic 22, the height direction of the battery cell may be in the direction indicated by Z in FIG. 2, one side surface of the lower plastic 22 may be fixedly connected to the underside of the cover plate 21 along the height direction of the battery cell 1 by adhesive or the like, and the other side surface of the lower plastic 22 away from the cover plate 21 may abut against the spacer 10. That is, the lower plastic 22 can be abutted between the spacer 10 and the cover plate 21. When arranged in this manner, the tab 31 can be separated from the cover plate 21 via the lower plastic 22, maintaining an insulating state between the two. This effectively prevents the tab 31 from coming into contact with the cover plate 21 and causing a short circuit in the battery cell 1.

[0029] Continuing to refer to FIGS. 4 to 6 , the spacer body 100 may have a rectangular structure, and the longitudinal direction of the spacer body 100 may be the direction indicated by X in FIG. 3 , the width direction of the spacer body 100 may be the direction indicated by Y in FIG. 3 , and the height direction of the spacer body 100 may be the direction indicated by Z in FIG. 3 . The receiving groove 110 may be integrally formed in the spacer body 100, and the longitudinal direction, width direction, and depth direction of the receiving groove 110 are parallel to the longitudinal direction, width direction, and height direction of the spacer body 100, respectively. The gap 120 may be integrally formed in the bottom wall of the spacer 110, and the gap 120 may penetrate the bottom wall of the receiving groove 110 along the depth direction of the receiving groove 110 and extend along the longitudinal direction of the receiving groove 110. As shown in FIG. 3 , one end of the tab 31 away from the cell 30 may be welded to the terminal 50 through the gap 120. At the same time, a portion of the structure of the tab 31 located between the terminal 50 and the cell can be bent and accommodated in the accommodation groove 110. When arranged in this manner, the tab 31 can be isolated and shaped through the spacer 10, and a portion of the structure of the tab 31 can be constrained inside the spacer 10, thereby maintaining insulation between the tab 31 and the housing 40, thereby significantly improving the insulation and safety of the battery cell 1.

[0030] As shown in FIG. 5, the width of the spacer body 100 can be denoted as D, and the width of the gap 120 can be denoted as d. Here, the relationship between the width of the spacer body 100 and the width of the gap 120 can satisfy the following relationship: 3*d≦2*D, i.e., the width of the gap 120 can be 2 / 3 times or less the width of the spacer body 100. When configured in this manner, the insulating effect of the spacer 10 against the tab 31 can be maximized, and the insulating effect of the spacer 10 can be prevented from being poor due to the gap 120 being too large.

[0031] The spacer 10 for battery cells 1 proposed in the embodiments of this application has a spacer body 100 with a receiving groove 110 and a gap 120, and the gap 120 is connected to the receiving groove 110, thereby isolating and shaping the tab 31 through the spacer 10. A portion of the structure of the tab 31 can be constrained inside the spacer 10, maintaining insulation between the tab 31 and the housing 40 of the battery cell 1, thereby significantly improving the insulation and safety of the battery cell 1. By setting the width of the gap 120 to be no more than two-thirds the width of the spacer body 100, the insulation effect of the spacer 10 for the tab 31 can be optimized, and a poor insulation effect of the spacer 10 due to an excessively large gap 120 can be avoided.

[0032] Continuing to refer to Figures 3 to 6, according to another embodiment of the present application, the spacer body 100 further has an escape groove 130, the escape groove 130 and the accommodating groove 110 are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the spacer body 100, and the escape groove 130 is suitable for discharging gas inside the battery cell 1.

[0033] Specifically, the relief groove 130 and the receiving groove 110 may be adjacently formed along the longitudinal direction of the spacer body 100, and the relief groove 130 may be formed in the spacer body 100 by integral molding, with the longitudinal direction, width direction, and depth direction of the relief groove 130 being parallel to the longitudinal direction, width direction, and height direction of the spacer body 100, respectively. When formed in this manner, when a malfunction occurs inside the cell 30 and a large amount of gas is generated, the relief groove 130 can timely release the gas inside the cell 30, thereby effectively preventing the expansion of the cell 30 and preventing the explosion of the battery cell 1, and effectively reducing potential safety issues of the battery cell 1.

[0034] Continuing to refer to FIGS. 3 to 5, according to another embodiment of the present application, at least one relief hole 140 is provided in the bottom wall of the relief groove 130. As shown in FIG.

[0035] Specifically, the number of the relief holes 140 may be one, two, or more, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto. The shape of the relief holes 140 may be circular, oval, rectangular, or the like, and the present application is not limited thereto. The relief holes 140 may penetrate the bottom wall of the relief groove 130 along the depth direction of the relief groove 130. When provided in this manner, when a malfunction occurs inside the cell 30 and a large amount of gas is generated, the relief holes 140 can timely release the gas inside the cell 30, thereby effectively preventing the expansion of the cell 30 and preventing the explosion of the battery cell 1, and effectively reducing potential safety issues of the battery cell 1.

[0036] Continuing to refer to Figures 4 and 5, in optional embodiments of the present application, the number of relief holes 140 may be multiple, and the multiple relief holes 140 may be spaced apart along the longitudinal direction of the spacer body 100, and / or the multiple relief holes 140 may be spaced apart along the width direction of the spacer body 100.

[0037] Specifically, the number of relief holes 140 may be multiple, and the following embodiment will be described taking six relief holes 140 as an example. The six relief holes 140 are arranged in two rows and three columns on the bottom wall of the relief groove 130. That is, the six relief holes 140 may be arranged in three columns at equal intervals along the length of the relief groove 130, and the six relief holes 140 may be arranged in two rows at equal intervals along the width of the relief groove 130. When arranged in this manner, the exhaust speed of the relief holes 140 can be further improved, and gas generated inside the cell 30 can be quickly discharged.

[0038] Continuing to refer to Figures 4 and 5, according to a further embodiment of the present application, the spacer 10 includes a reinforcing rib 200, the reinforcing rib 200 being disposed between the receiving groove 110 and the relief groove 130, and / or the reinforcing rib 200 being disposed between the relief grooves 140.

[0039] Specifically, the reinforcing rib 200 may be fixedly connected to the spacer body 100 by integral molding, and may be provided extending along the width direction of the spacer body 100, i.e., the longitudinal direction of the reinforcing rib 200 may be parallel to the width direction of the spacer body 100, and the width direction of the reinforcing rib 200 may be parallel to the longitudinal direction of the spacer body 100. The number of reinforcing ribs 200 may be one, two, or more, and the embodiments of the present application are not specifically limited thereto. The following embodiments will be described taking three reinforcing ribs 200 as an example. Here, one reinforcing rib 200 may be provided between the accommodating groove 110 and the relief groove 130, and the other two reinforcing ribs 200 may be provided at intervals between two adjacent rows of relief holes 140. When provided in this manner, the reinforcing rib 200 effectively improves the strength and hardness of the spacer body 100, and prevents the spacer 10 from deforming after being subjected to pressure. As a result, the spacer 10 can be stably abutted between the cover plate component 20 and the cell 30, and the spacer 10 effectively restricts the position of the cell 30, preventing the cell 30 from being displaced during the vibration process of the battery cell 1.

[0040] Continuing to refer to FIG. 5, in an optional mode of the present application, the side wall width of the relief groove 130 along the longitudinal direction of the spacer body 100 is D1, and the side wall width of the relief groove 130 along the width direction of the spacer body 100 is D2, which satisfies the relationship D2*0.8≦D1≦D2*1.2, and D1≧0.8mm, D2≧0.8mm.

[0041] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5 , the width of the side wall of the relief groove 130 along the longitudinal direction of the spacer body 100 can be denoted as D1, and the width of the side wall of the relief groove 130 along the width direction of the spacer body 100 can be denoted as D2, where D1 may be 0.8 mm or more, and D2 may be 0.8 mm or more, and the magnitude relationship between D1 and D2 may satisfy the following relationship: D2*0.8≦D1≦D2*1.2, that is, D1 may be between 0.8 times D2 and 1.2 times D2. This configuration provides the spacer body 100 with excellent strength and hardness, and prevents the spacer 10 from deforming under pressure.

[0042] Continuing to refer to FIG. 5, in some examples of the present application, the width of the reinforcing rib 200 is D3, which satisfies the relationship D2*0.5≦D3≦D2.

[0043] Specifically, the width of the reinforcing rib 200 can be indicated as D3, which can be between 0.5 times D2 and 1.0 times D2. By being configured in this manner, the spacer body 100 has excellent strength and hardness, and the spacer 10 is prevented from deforming under pressure.

[0044] Continuing to refer to Figures 4 and 5, in some embodiments of the present application, the spacer body 100 further has a mounting groove 150, which is provided at an end of the receiving groove 110 away from the relief groove 130.

[0045] Specifically, the mounting groove 150, the receiving groove 110, and the relief groove 130 may be arranged sequentially along the longitudinal direction of the spacer body 100. That is, the mounting groove 150 and the relief groove 130 may be respectively provided at opposite ends of the receiving groove 110. Here, the longitudinal direction of the mounting groove 150 may be parallel to the width direction of the spacer body 100, and the width direction of the mounting groove 150 may be parallel to the longitudinal direction of the spacer body 100. A plurality of mounting holes (not shown in the drawings) may be provided within the mounting groove 150. When provided in this manner, bolts (not shown in the drawings) or screws (not shown in the drawings) may be used to penetrate and fasten the mounting holes, thereby allowing the spacer 10 to be threadedly connected to the cover plate 21 or housing 40 of the battery cell 1.

[0046] Continuing to refer to FIG. 5, in some possible implementations of the present application, the length of the spacer body 100 is L, the length of the relief groove 130 is L1, and the width of the mounting groove 150 is L2, satisfying the relationship L≦(L1+L2)*3, and L1≧3 mm, L2≧3 mm.

[0047] Specifically, the length of the spacer body 100 can be denoted as L, the length of the relief groove 130 can be denoted as L1, and the width of the mounting groove 150 can be denoted as L2, where L1 may be 3 mm or more, L2 may be 3 mm or more, and the sum of the length of the relief groove 130 and the width of the mounting groove 150 may be 1 / 3 or more of the length of the spacer body 100. When configured in this manner, the vibration resistance of the spacer 10 can be effectively improved, and at the same time, the spacer 10 can be prevented from pressing and damaging the cell 30, thereby effectively restricting the position of the cell 30 and preventing the cell 30 from being displaced during the vibration process of the battery cell 1.

[0048] Continuing to refer to Figures 1 to 3, the battery cell 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a cover plate 20, a cell 30, and a spacer 10, and the spacer 10 is provided between the cover plate 20 and the cell 30, and the spacer 10 is the spacer 10 for the battery cell 1 in the above embodiment.

In this configuration, the spacer 10 presses and fixes the cell 30, thereby preventing displacement of the cell 30 during vibration of the battery cell 1. Furthermore, one end of the cell 30 may be provided with a tab 31, one end of which may be electrically connected to the positive and negative plates inside the cell 30 by welding, and the other end of the tab 31 may be electrically connected to a terminal 50 of the battery cell 1 by welding. In this configuration, the cell 30 may be electrically connected to the terminal 50, and thus the cell 30 may be electrically connected to an external electric circuit via the terminal 50, thereby allowing the battery cell 1 to charge and discharge.

[0050] The cover plate component 20 may include a cover plate 21 and a lower plastic 22, one side surface of the lower plastic 22 may be fixedly connected to the underside of the cover plate 21 along the height direction of the battery cell 1 by gluing or the like, and the other side surface of the lower plastic 22, which is away from the cover plate 21, may abut against the spacer 10.
