[0024] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, the present disclosure provides a battery pack 100 including a housing 10, a sealing cover 20, a battery string 30, a sampling structure 40, and a battery information collector 50 connected to a battery management system. The battery string 30 and the sampling structure 40 are installed in the housing 10. The battery string 30 includes a plurality of electrically connected batteries 301, and the sampling structure 40 includes a plurality of sampling wires 401. One end 4011 of the sampling wire 401 is connected to the corresponding battery 301, and the other end 4012 is connected to the battery information collector 50. An opening 101 is installed in the housing 10, the battery information collector 50 is installed at the opening 101 of the housing 10, the sealing cover 20 is located outside the battery information collector 50, and seals the opening 101 of the housing 10.
[0025] The outside of the battery information collector 50 refers to the side away from the internal space of the housing 10 of the battery information collector 50. One end of the sampling wire 401 is connected to the corresponding battery 301, and the other end 4012 is connected to the battery information collector 50. By doing so, the sampling wire 401 can collect the relevant information of the battery 301, transmit the information to the battery information collector 50, and after being subjected to conversion processing by the battery information collector 50, transmit it to the battery management system, so that the operating state of the battery 301 can be monitored and the safety of using the battery pack 100 can be improved.
[0026] An opening 101 is installed in the housing 10 of the battery pack 100 according to the present disclosure, and the battery information collector 50 is installed at the opening 101 of the housing 10. By doing so, the internal space of the housing 10 is not occupied, which is beneficial to improving the space utilization rate of the battery pack 100. The sealing cover 20 is installed outside the battery information collector 50 and seals the opening 101 of the housing 10. In this way, not only can the housing 10 be sealed by the sealing cover 20, but also the battery information collector 50 can be sealed, which is beneficial to reducing the number of sealing structure members and reducing the manufacturing cost of the battery pack 100. At the same time, the compactness of the structural design of the battery pack 100 can also be improved, which is beneficial to reducing the overall dimensions of the battery pack 100.
[0027] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, inside the housing 10, a partition plate 60 that partitions the internal space of the housing 10 into a plurality of accommodation cavities 70 is installed. A battery string 30 and a sampling structure 40 are installed in the accommodation cavity 70. The first end portion 4011 of the sampling wire 401 in the same accommodation cavity 70 is connected to the corresponding battery 301, and the second end portion 4012 of the sampling wire 401 in at least some of the accommodation cavities 70 is connected to the battery information collector 50. In this way, since the information collected by the sampling wires 401 in the plurality of accommodation cavities 70 can be converted and processed by one battery information collector 50, the number of battery information collectors 50 in the battery pack 100 can be reduced, which is advantageous for reducing the cost of the battery pack 100. As shown in FIG. 3, the sampling wires 401 in the five accommodation cavities 70 are connected to one battery information collector 50. Of course, in other embodiments, the sampling wires 401 in all the accommodation cavities 70 may be connected to one battery information collector 50.

The connection terminal 402 and the pads 501 are welded in a one-to-one correspondence. By using the welding means, the reliability of the connection between the sampling wire 401 and the battery information collector 50 can be guaranteed. Also, such means are simple and advantageous for reducing costs. Of course, in other embodiments, the sampling wire 401 may be connected to the battery information collector 50 by insertion means.
[0029] In some other embodiments, as shown in FIG. 9, the battery pack 100 further includes a plurality of fuses 90. A connection terminal 402 is installed at the second end 4012 of the sampling line 401, and a plurality of pads 501 are installed on the battery information collector 50. One end of the fuse 90 is welded to the corresponding connection terminal 402, and the other end is welded to the corresponding pad 501. The fuse 90 can not only realize the connection between the sampling line 401 and the battery information collector 50, but also perform an overcurrent protection function. By doing so, the number of structural members can be reduced, which is beneficial for reducing the cost of the battery pack 100 and ensuring the safety of the entire sampling circuit.
[0030] As shown in FIG. 9, the battery information collector 50 is installed on one side of the sampling structure 40, and a plurality of pads 501 are installed on the side of the battery information collector 50 facing the sampling structure 40.

The pads 501 connected corresponding to the sampling lines 401 within the plurality of accommodation cavities 70 in the battery information collector 50 are arranged along the second direction which is the length direction or the width direction of the housing 10. Installing in this way can make the arrangement of the pads 501 in the battery information collector 50 more compact, which is beneficial for reducing the size and cost of the battery information collector 50.

[0041] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, a second bending portion 405 is installed at the first end portion 4011 of the sampling line 401. The second bending portion 405 of the sampling line 401 is located between two batteries 301 connected in series, and the sampling terminal 403 is installed on the second bending portion 405.

[0046] The sampling line 401 is a metal conductor, and the connection terminal 402 is a metal sheet. Also, the sampling line 401 may be formed by etching or die-cutting a metal foil.
[0047] In some embodiments, the sampling structure 40 further includes a protective layer 406 covering a plurality of sampling lines 401, and the protective layer 406 and the plurality of sampling lines 401 are configured as an FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) or an FFC (Flexible Flat Cable).
[0048] The FPC includes a metal foil and a protective film covering both sides of the metal foil. A plurality of sampling lines 401 are formed by etching the metal foil, and the protective layer 406 is formed by the protective film.

In this way, since the batteries 301 in the accommodation cavity 70 can be sampled by the sampling lines 401 in the same accommodation cavity 70, it is advantageous to simplify the arrangement of the sampling lines 401 in each accommodation cavity 70.
[0051] In some embodiments, the plurality of battery strings 30 in the same accommodation cavity 70 are arranged in order along the second direction and are connected in series.

The battery management system is located within the accommodation space, and the connection harness passes through the base 201 to connect the battery management system and the battery information collector 50. In this way, not only can the housing 10 be sealed by the sealing cover 20, but also the battery management system can be sealed. Therefore, the number of sealing structure members can be reduced, which is advantageous for reducing costs.

The sealing cover 20 is installed outside the battery information collector 50 to seal the opening 101 of the housing 10. In this way, not only can the housing 10 be sealed by the sealing cover 20, but also the battery information collector 50 can be sealed, which is advantageous for reducing the number of sealing structural members and reducing the manufacturing cost of the battery pack 100. At the same time, the compactness of the structural design of the battery pack 100 can also be improved, which is advantageous for reducing the overall dimensions of the battery pack 100. In addition, the related information of the battery 301 can be collected by the sampling line 401, transmitted to the battery information collector 50, and then transmitted to the battery management system after being processed by the battery information collector 50, so that the operating state of the battery 301 can be monitored and the safety of the use of the battery pack 100 can be improved.
