For example, if the method further includes step (c), it means that step (c) may be added to the method in any order, for example, the method may include steps (a), (b), and (c), or steps (a), (c), and (b), or steps (c), (a), and (b), etc. 【0099】 In this specification, the terms "coating layer" and "coating" refer to a material layer coated on a core material such as lithium manganese phosphate, and the material layer may completely or partially cover the core. The term "coating layer" is used for ease of explanation and is not intended to limit this application. Furthermore, each coating layer may completely or partially cover the core. Similarly, the term "thickness of the coating layer" refers to the thickness of the material layer coated on the core in the radial direction of the core. 【0100】 In this application, the battery cell may include lithium-ion secondary batteries, lithium-ion primary batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, sodium-lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, or magnesium-ion batteries, and the embodiments of this application are not limited thereto. The battery cell may be cylindrical, flattened, rectangular, or have other shapes, and the embodiments of this application are not limited thereto. Battery cells are generally classified into three types according to their packaging: cylindrical battery cells, prismatic battery cells, and soft-pack battery cells, and the embodiments of this application are not limited thereto. 【0101】 In the embodiments of this application, the battery refers to a single physical module comprising one or more battery cells to provide higher voltage and capacity. For example, the battery referred to here may include a battery pack. The battery generally includes a housing for packaging one or more battery cells. The housing can prevent liquids or other foreign matter from affecting the charging and discharging of the battery cells. 【0102】 The housing 10 may include a first part 101 and a second part 102 (as shown in Figures 2 and 3), and by overlapping the first part 101 and the second part 102, both the first part 101 and the second part 102 define a housing space for housing the battery cell 20. The second part 102 is a hollow structure with one end open, and the first part 101 is a plate-like structure, and the first part 10 1 is It may be fitted over the opening side of the second part 102, thereby forming a housing with a storage space. Both the first part 101 and the second part 102 are hollow structures with one side open, and the first part 10 1 The opening side may be fitted over the opening side of the second part 102, thereby forming a housing with a storage space. Naturally, the first part 101 and the second part 102 may be of various shapes such as a cylinder or a rectangular parallelepiped. 【0103】 To improve the airtightness after connecting the first part 101 and the second part 102, sealing members such as sealing material and sealing rings may be installed between the first part 101 and the second part 102. 【0104】 A battery cell includes an electrode assembly and an electrolyte, and the electrode assembly consists of a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet, and a separator. The battery cell operates primarily by the movement of metal ions between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet. The positive electrode sheet includes a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode active material layer, the positive electrode active material layer being coated on the surface of the positive electrode current collector, and current collectors without the positive electrode active material layer protruding from the current collectors with the positive electrode active material layer, with the current collectors without the positive electrode active material layer forming the positive electrode tab. Taking a lithium-ion battery as an example, the material of the positive electrode current collector may be aluminum, and the positive electrode active material may be lithium cobalt oxide, lithium iron phosphate, ternary lithium, or lithium manganese oxide, etc. The negative electrode sheet includes a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode active material layer. The negative electrode active material layer is coated on the surface of the negative electrode current collector. Current collectors without the negative electrode active material layer protrude from the current collectors with the negative electrode active material layer, and these uncoated current collectors form the negative electrode tabs. The negative electrode current collector may be made of copper, and the negative electrode active material may be carbon or silicon, etc. To ensure that melting does not occur due to high current, there are multiple positive electrode tabs, and the negative electrode tabs are also multiple, and they are laminated together. 【0105】 The type of separator described above is not particularly limited, and any known porous structure separator having electrical, chemical stability and chemical stability can be selected, for example, one or more single-layer or multi-layer films from glass fiber, nonwoven fabric, polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyvinylidene fluoride. The material of the separator may be polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE), etc. Furthermore, the electrode assembly may be a wound structure or a laminated structure, and the embodiments of this application are not limited thereto. 【0106】 The above electrolyte solution contains an organic solvent and an electrolyte salt, of which the electrolyte salt plays a role in transporting ions between the positive and negative electrodes, and the organic solvent acts as a transport medium for ions. The electrolyte salt may be one or more of the electrolyte salts known in this field that are used in the electrolyte solution of battery cells, for example, LiPF6 (lithium hexafluoride phosphate), LiBF4 (lithium tetrafluoroborate), LiClO4 (lithium perchlorate), LiAsF6 (lithium hexafluoride arsenate), LiFSI (lithium bisfluorosulfonylimide), LiTFSI (lithium bistrifluoromethanesulfonylimide), LiTFS (lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate), LiDFOB (lithium difluorophosphate), LiBOB (lithium difluorooxalate borate), LiPO2F2 (lithium bisoxalate borate), LiDFOP (lithium difluorooxalate phosphate), and LiTFOP (lithium tetrafluorooxalate phosphate). The organic solvent may be one of the organic solvents known in this field that are used in the electrolyte solution of battery cells, for example, ethylene carbonate One or more, preferably two or more, of the following: t(EC), propylene carbonate (PC), ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC), diethyl carbonate (DEC), dimethyl carbonate (DMC), dipropyl carbonate (DPC), methyl propyl carbonate (MPC), ethyl propyl carbonate (EPC), butylene carbonate (BC), fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC), methyl formate (MF), methyl acetate (MA), ethyl acetate (EA), propyl acetate (PA), methyl propionate (MP), ethyl propionate (EP), propyl propionate (PP), methyl butyrate (MB), ethyl butyrate (EB), 1,4-butyrolactone (GBL), sulfolane (SF), methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS), and diethylsulfone (ESE), and an appropriate electrolyte salt and organic solvent can be selected according to the actual requirements. 【0107】 Naturally, it does not need to contain battery cell electrolyte. 【0108】 To meet different power demands, a battery may contain multiple battery cells, which can be connected in series, parallel, or series-parallel, with series-parallel connections referring to a mixture of series and parallel connections. Selectively, multiple battery cells may first be connected in series, parallel, or series-parallel to form a battery module, and multiple battery modules may then be further connected in series, parallel, or series-parallel to form a battery. That is, multiple battery cells may directly form a battery, or they may first form a battery module or battery group, and then the battery modules may further form a battery. The battery is further installed in a power consumption device and supplies electrical energy to the power consumption device. 【0109】 In developing battery technology, various design elements such as energy density, cycle life, discharge capacity, charge / discharge ratio, and safety must be considered simultaneously. In particular, when the internal space of a battery is constant, improving the utilization rate of the internal space is an effective way to improve the energy density of the battery. However, while improving the utilization rate of the internal space of a battery, other parameters such as thermal conduction and thermal management of the battery must also be considered. Furthermore, improving the utilization rate of the internal space of a battery may reduce the structural strength of the battery. For example, typically, the inside of a battery casing is provided with beams for mounting the battery modules, and the battery modules inside the battery are provided with side plates and end plates. These beams, side plates, and end plates secure the battery while occupying the internal space of the battery. However, if beams, side plates, and end plates are not provided, the structural strength of the battery will be insufficient, affecting the battery's performance. 【0110】 During the charging and discharging process of a battery, a large amount of heat is generated. Especially during the rapid charging process, the battery cells generate a large amount of heat, which continuously accumulates and concentrates, causing the temperature of the battery to rise rapidly. If the heat of the battery cells is not immediately released, it may cause thermal runaway of the battery, leading to safety accidents such as smoking, ignition, and explosion. At the same time, the long-term severe temperature non-uniformity significantly reduces the service life of the battery. Also, when the temperature is low, the discharge efficiency of the battery is low, and it is even more difficult to start at low temperatures, affecting the normal use of the battery. Therefore, it is extremely important to ensure the requirements of thermal management in the battery. 【0111】 In view of this, the embodiments of the present application provide technical solutions. In the embodiments of the present application, battery cells are installed in the accommodation cavity of a housing within the battery, and a reinforcing element fixedly connected to the first wall with the largest area of the battery cell is installed. The reinforcing element is thermally conductively connected to the first wall, whereby the reinforcing element is used to conduct the heat of the battery cells. Thereby, it is not necessary to further install a structure such as a beam in the central part of the battery housing, and it is not necessary to install side plates inside the battery, and the space utilization rate inside the battery can be maximally improved, thereby improving the energy density of the battery. At the same time, the above-mentioned reinforcing element can be used to ensure heat conduction in the battery. Therefore, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application can improve the energy density of the battery, and at the same time ensure heat conduction in the battery and improve the performance of the battery. 【0112】 The technical solutions described in the embodiments of the present application can all be applied to various devices using batteries, such as mobile phones, portable devices, laptop computers, electric vehicles, electric toys, electric tools, electric vehicles, ships, and spacecraft, etc. Spacecraft includes aircraft, rockets, space shuttles, and spaceships, etc. 【0113】 In addition, the technical solutions described in the embodiments of the present application can be applied not only to the above-mentioned devices but also to all devices using batteries. However, for the sake of simplicity of description, the following embodiments will all be described by taking an electric vehicle as an example. 【0114】 For example, Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a vehicle 1000 according to one embodiment of the present invention. The vehicle 1000 may be a gasoline vehicle, a natural gas vehicle, or a new energy vehicle, and the new energy vehicle may be a pure electric vehicle, a hybrid vehicle, or a range extender vehicle, etc. A motor 101, a controller 102, and a battery 100 can be installed inside the vehicle 1000, and the controller 102 is used to control the battery 100 and supply power to the motor 101. For example, the battery 100 can be installed at the bottom, front, or rear of the vehicle 1000. The battery 100 is used to supply power to the vehicle 1000, and for example, the battery 100 can be used as the operating power source for the vehicle 1000's circuit system, for example, to meet the power requirements for starting the vehicle 1000, navigation, and driving. In another embodiment of the present invention, the battery 100 can provide driving power to the vehicle 1000 not only as an operating power source for the vehicle 1000, but also as a driving power source for the vehicle 1000, by substituting or partially substituting fuel or natural gas. 【0115】 To meet various power consumption demands, the battery 100 may include one or more battery cells 20. For example, Figures 2 and 3 show schematic diagrams of the structure of a battery 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention, and the battery 100 may include multiple battery cells 20. The battery 100 may further include a housing 10, the inside of which has a hollow structure, and the multiple battery cells 20 are housed inside the housing 10. For example, the multiple battery cells 20 may be connected in parallel, in series, or in series-parallel and then arranged inside the housing 10. 【0116】 Optionally, the battery 100 may include other structures, which are not described herein. For example, the battery 100 may further include a bus member (not shown) which is used to realize electrical connections between a plurality of battery cells 20, such as parallel, series, or series-parallel connections. Specifically, the bus member can realize electrical connections between the battery cells 20 by connecting the electrode terminals of the battery cells 20. Furthermore, the bus member may be fixed to the electrode terminals of the battery cells 20 by welding. The electrical energy of the plurality of battery cells 20 may further be drawn through the housing via a conductive mechanism. Optionally, the conductive mechanism may belong to the bus member. 【0117】 The number of battery cells 20 can be set to any number depending on the different power demands; for example, there may be only one battery cell 20. Multiple battery cells 20 may be connected in series, parallel, or series-parallel configurations to achieve a larger capacity or output. Because each battery 100 contains a large number of battery cells 20, the battery cells 20 can be grouped together for easier installation, and each group of battery cells 20 constitutes a battery module. The number of battery cells 20 included in a battery module is not limited and can be set as needed. A battery may contain multiple battery modules, and these battery modules can be connected in series, parallel, or series configurations. 【0118】 Figure 4 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a battery cell 20 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the battery cell 20 including one or more electrode assemblies 22, a housing 211 and a cover plate 212. The housing 211 and the cover plate 212 form the outer case or battery case 21 of the battery cell 20. The walls of the housing 211 and the cover plate 212 are both called the walls of the battery cell 20, and in the case of a rectangular parallelepiped battery cell 20, the walls of the housing 211 include a bottom wall and four side walls. The shape of the housing 211 is determined according to the shape after one or more electrode assemblies 22 are combined, for example, the housing 211 may be a hollow rectangular parallelepiped, cube or cylinder, and one face of the housing 211 has an opening, and one or more electrode assemblies 22 can be placed inside the housing 211. For example, if the housing 211 is a hollow rectangular parallelepiped or cube, one of the planes of the housing 211 is an opening, and this plane has no wall and connects the inside and outside of the housing 211. The housing 211 may be a hollow cylindrical body, in which case the end face of the housing 211 is an open surface, that is, the end face does not have a wall and connects the inside and outside of the housing 211. The cover plate 212 is open mouth 10 It covers the electrode and is connected to the housing 211, forming a sealed cavity in which the electrode assembly 22 is placed. The housing 211 is filled with an electrolyte, such as an electrolyte solution. 【0119】 The battery cell 20 may further include two electrode terminals 214 mounted on a cover plate 212. The cover plate 212 is generally flat, and the two electrode terminals 214 are fixed to the flat surface of the cover plate 212, with the two electrode terminals 214 being a positive terminal 214a and a negative terminal 214b, respectively. A connecting member 23 (also referred to as a current collector member) is installed corresponding to each electrode terminal 214, and the connecting member 23 is located between the cover plate 212 and the electrode assembly 22 and is used to electrically connect the electrode assembly 22 and the electrode terminals 214. 【0120】 As shown in Figure 4, each electrode assembly 22 has a first tab 221a and a second tab 222a. The polarities of the first tab 221a and the second tab 222a are opposite. For example, if the first tab 221a is the positive electrode tab, then the second tab 222a is the negative electrode tab. The first tab 221a of one or more electrode assemblies 22 is connected to one electrode terminal via one connecting member 23, and the second tab 222a of one or more electrode assemblies 22 is connected to another electrode terminal via another connecting member 23. For example, the positive electrode terminal 214a is connected to the positive electrode tab via one connecting member 23, and the negative electrode terminal 214b is connected to the negative electrode tab via another connecting member 23. 【0121】 In the battery cell 20, one or more electrode assemblies 22 can be installed depending on the requirements of actual use, and Figure 4 shows that four independent electrode assemblies 22 are installed in the battery cell 20. 【0122】 The battery cell 20 may be further equipped with a pressure reduction mechanism 213. The pressure reduction mechanism 213 is used to release the internal pressure or temperature of the battery cell 20 when the internal pressure or temperature reaches a threshold. 【0123】 The depressurization mechanism 213 may be a variety of possible depressurization structures, but the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto. For example, the depressurization mechanism 213 may be a temperature-sensitive depressurization mechanism configured to melt when the internal temperature of the battery cell 20 in which the depressurization mechanism 213 is installed reaches a threshold, and / or the depressurization mechanism 213 may be a pressure-sensitive depressurization mechanism, which is configured to rupture when the internal pressure of the battery cell 20 in which the depressurization mechanism 213 is installed reaches a threshold. 【0124】 Figure 3 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a battery 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention. 【0125】 As shown in Figures 3 to 5, the battery 100 includes a housing 10, a battery cell 20, and a reinforcing element 30. The housing 10 has a housing cavity 10a, the battery cell 20 is housed in the housing cavity 10a, and the battery cell 20 includes an electrode assembly 22 and electrode terminals 214. The electrode assembly 22 is electrically connected to the electrode terminals 214, thereby allowing the battery cell 20 to supply electrical energy. The battery cell 20 also includes a first wall 201, which is the wall with the largest area in the battery cell 20. The reinforcing element 30 is installed opposite the first wall 201, is fixedly connected to the first wall 201, and is thermally conductively connected to the first wall 201. 【0126】 Therefore, by fixing the larger side of the battery cell 20, i.e., the first wall 201, to the reinforcing element 30, it is easier to ensure a reliable connection between the battery cell 20 and the reinforcing element 30, and the first wall 201 of the battery cell 20 is fixed to the reinforcing element 3 It is understood that by making a thermal conduction connection to 0, heat exchange with the battery cell 20 is promoted, making it easier to ensure the performance of the battery 100. For example, if the temperature of the battery cell 20 is too high, the reinforcing element 30 may cool the battery cell 20 to lower its temperature. If the temperature of the battery cell 20 is too low, the reinforcing element 30 may heat the battery cell 20 to raise its temperature. 【0127】 Exemplary, the battery 100 has multiple battery cells 20, and the multiple battery cells 20 are arranged along a second direction y, i.e., the second direction y is the direction of arrangement of the multiple battery cells 20 in the row of battery cells 20 in the battery 100. In other words, the row of battery cells 20 in the battery 100 is arranged along the second direction y. The number of battery cells 20 in one row of battery cells 20 may be 2 to 20, but the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto. The reinforcing element 30 extends along the second direction y, and the reinforcing element 30 is fixedly connected to the first wall 201 of each battery cell 20 in the multiple battery cells 20, and the first wall 201 with the largest area in the battery cell 20 is the reinforcing element 30The first wall 201 of the battery cell 20 may be connected to the reinforcing element 30 by heat conduction, meaning that the first wall 201 of the battery cell 20 may be parallel to the second direction y. 【0128】 As a result, the first wall 201 with the largest surface area of ​​each of the multiple battery cells 20 is connected to the reinforcing element 30, and the multiple battery cells 20 are connected integrally via the reinforcing element 30. In this case, side plates do not need to be installed inside the battery 100, and there is no need to install any additional structures such as beams, which significantly improves the space utilization rate inside the battery 100 and improves the energy density of the battery 100. Furthermore, the reinforcing element 30 can conduct heat from the battery cells 20, thereby conducting heat from each battery cell 20 through the reinforcing element 30. This ensures that the temperature of the battery cells 20 is kept at a normal level, improving the service life and safety performance of the battery cells 20. 【0129】 Furthermore, if thermal runaway occurs in a battery cell 20, the heat generated from the runaway battery cell 20 is absorbed by the reinforcing element 30 that exchanges heat with it, lowering the temperature of the runaway battery cell 20 and preventing the adjacent battery cells 20 from also experiencing thermal runaway, thereby ensuring the safety performance of the battery cells 20. 【0130】 Naturally, battery 100 may contain one battery cell 20. 【0131】 Selectively, the first wall 201 may be in direct contact with the reinforcing element 30, thereby achieving heat transfer between the battery cell 20 and the reinforcing element 30, or the first wall 201 may be indirectly in contact with the reinforcing element 30, for example, by contacting the reinforcing element 30 via a heat-conducting member such as a heat-conducting adhesive, thereby achieving heat transfer between the battery cell 20 and the reinforcing element 30. Clearly, by heat-conducting the reinforcing element 30 to the first wall 201, the thermal management capability of the reinforcing element 30 with respect to the battery cell 20 can be guaranteed. 【0132】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 4-6, the battery cell 20 further includes a second wall 202 connected to a first wall 201, and the first wall 201 is installed intersecting the second wall 202, so the first wall 201 and the second wall 202 are not parallel, and the first wall 201 and the second wall 202 have a common line. The electrode terminals 214 are installed on the second wall 202, and the electrode terminals 214 are provided on a wall other than the first wall 201 of the battery cell 20 that intersects with the first wall 201, thereby facilitating the installation of the electrode terminals 214, and at the same time allowing clearance for the electrode terminals 214 and the reinforcing element 30, eliminating the need to install a clearance portion on the reinforcing element 30 for the electrode terminals 214, which is advantageous in simplifying the structure of the reinforcing element 30. 【0133】 For example, as illustrated in Figures 4 and 5, the battery cell 20 forms a substantially rectangular parallelepiped structure, the length of the battery cell 20 is greater than the width and height of the battery cell 20, the first wall 201 is located on one side of the battery cell 20 in a first direction x, and the second wall 202 is located on at least one of the two sides of the battery cell 20 in a second direction y, and the second wall 202 is located on at least one of the two sides of the battery cell 20 in a third direction z, and the electrode terminals 214 may be provided on the second wall 202 in the third direction z of the battery cell 20, and of course, as shown in Figure 6, the electrode terminals 214 may be provided on the second wall 202 in the second direction y of the battery cell 20. 【0134】 Selectively, in the example shown in Figure 6, the battery cell 20 may be a blade battery, and the length of the battery cell 20 > the width of the battery cell 20 > the height of the battery cell 20, the length of the battery cell 20 in the second direction y > the width of the battery cell 20 in the third direction z > the height of the battery cell 20 in the first direction x, the first wall 201 is located at one end of the battery cell 20 in the height direction, and if the electrode terminals 214 are provided on the second wall 202, the electrode terminals 214 may be located at one end or both ends of the battery cell 20 in the length direction, and / or the electrode terminals 214 are located at one end or both ends of the battery cell 20 in the width direction. 【0135】 Naturally, the placement of the electrode terminals 214 is not limited to this in the present invention. As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the electrode terminals 214 may be provided on the first wall 201, and similarly, the arrangement of the electrode terminals 214 is easy; for example, the battery cell 20 is a one-stop battery cell. As can be seen from this, the battery 100 in the embodiment of the present invention offers high flexibility regarding the placement of the electrode terminals. 【0136】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 8, there are multiple battery cells 20, and the multiple battery cells 20 are arranged in a first direction x, and in the first direction x, each battery cell 20 has a first surface 203 that is installed facing the first wall 201. Having A relief groove 203a is provided on the first surface 203, and the relief groove 203a of one of two adjacent battery cells 20 is used to accommodate the electrode terminals 214 of the other battery cell 20, and the first direction x is perpendicular to the first wall 201, thereby enabling a compact arrangement of multiple battery cells 20 in the first direction and saving occupied space. 【0137】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 4 to 6, the electrode terminals 214 are provided on the second wall 202, the battery cell 20 includes two opposing first walls 201 and two opposing second walls 202, and at least two electrode terminals 214 are provided, with the plurality of electrode terminals 214 including positive electrode terminals 214a and negative electrode terminals 214b. 【0138】 Here, assuming that at least two electrode terminals 214 are installed on the same second wall 202, thereby ensuring that adjacent electrode terminals 214 have an appropriate spacing, it is advantageous to save space occupied by the battery cell 20. Alternatively, at least one electrode terminal 214 is installed on each second wall 202, thereby ensuring that electrode terminals 214 located on different second walls 202 have sufficient spacing. 【0139】 For example, in the examples in Figures 4 and 5, the battery cell 20 includes two first walls 201 positioned opposite each other along a first direction x and two second walls 202 positioned opposite each other along a third direction z, where the third direction z is not parallel to the first direction x, but rather perpendicular to the first direction x, and all of the electrode terminals 214 are located on the same second wall 202 of the battery cell 20 in the third direction z. 【0140】 Naturally, in a rectangular parallelepiped battery cell 20, the battery cell 20 may include two second walls 202 that are positioned opposite each other along a second direction y, where the second direction y is not parallel to the first direction, for example, the second direction y is perpendicular to the first direction x, and all of the electrode terminals 214 are located on the same second wall 202 in the second direction y of the battery cell 20. 【0141】 Even if multiple electrode terminals 214 are located on one side of the battery cell 20 in the second direction y, or on one side of the battery cell 20 in the third direction z, if there are multiple battery cells 20 and the multiple battery cells 20 are arranged sequentially along the second direction y, the second walls 202 of two adjacent battery cells 20 face each other in the second direction y. 【0142】 In this application, the first wall 201 may be a flat or curved surface, and the second wall 202 is a flat or curved surface. 【0143】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 9, the first wall 201 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and in this case the battery cell 20 may be a substantially cylindrical battery cell. 【0144】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 9, when second walls 202 are provided at both axial ends of the first wall 201, and electrode terminals 214 are provided on at least one of the second walls 202, all electrode terminals 214 of the battery cell 20 are provided on one of the second walls 202, or at least one electrode terminal 214 of the battery cell 20 is provided on one of the second walls 202, and the remaining electrode terminals 214 of the battery cell 20 are provided on the other second walls 202. This enables a flexible arrangement of the electrode terminals 214. 【0145】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 9, an exposed electrode terminal 214 is provided on one of the second walls 202, and the electrode assembly 22 includes a positive electrode sheet 221 and a negative electrode sheet 222, one of which is electrically connected to the electrode terminal 214, and the other of which is electrically connected to the first wall 201, thereby enabling normal power supply to the battery cell 20. 【0146】 Naturally, the other of the positive electrode sheet 221 and the negative electrode sheet 222 may be electrically connected to the other second wall 202. In other words, the second wall 202, on which the exposed electrode terminals 214 are provided, differs from the second wall 202 electrically connected to the other of the positive electrode sheet 221 and the negative electrode sheet 222, and similarly achieves normal power supply to the battery cell 20. 【0147】 In some embodiments, at least one battery cell 20 is a soft pack battery cell, and if the battery 100 includes one battery cell 20, that battery cell 20 is a soft pack battery cell, and if the battery 100 includes multiple battery cells 20, at least one of the multiple battery cells 20 is a soft pack battery cell. This allows for a richer variety of battery types, structures, and battery cell layouts 20, which is advantageous in meeting the needs for differentiating the applications of the battery 100. 【0148】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the battery cell 20 further includes a pressure reducing mechanism 213, and the pressure reducing mechanism 213 and electrode terminals 214 are installed on the same wall of the battery cell 20, for example, both the pressure reducing mechanism 213 and electrode terminals 214 are provided on the second wall 202. 【0149】 Naturally, in other embodiments of the present invention, the battery cell 20 further includes a pressure reducing mechanism 213, and the pressure reducing mechanism 213 and electrode terminals 214 are installed on the two walls of the battery cell 20, respectively. 【0150】 As a result, the pressure reduction mechanism 213 has a certain degree of flexibility with respect to the position of the electrode terminals 214. 【0151】 In some embodiments, the reinforcing element 30 is bonded to the first wall 201 via a first adhesive layer. This bonding ensures a secure and stable connection between the reinforcing element 30 and the first wall 201, guaranteeing that the entire battery 100 has a certain degree of rigidity and strength. At the same time, it reduces consumables and overall weight, contributing to a lightweight design for the battery 100, and also results in a simpler, more compact structure that is easier to process and assemble. 【0152】 Selectively, the first adhesive layer may include a thermally conductive structural adhesive, which not only has a good bonding effect but also possesses properties such as thermal conductivity, degradation resistance, fatigue resistance, and corrosion resistance, thereby improving the connection strength and thermal management efficiency between the battery cell 20 and the reinforcing element 30, and accelerating heat transfer between the battery cell 20 and the reinforcing element 30. Naturally, the first adhesive layer may further include double-sided tape or the like. 【0153】 The reinforcing element 30 and the first wall 201 may be connected by other methods such as riveting or welding, and this invention is not limited to such methods. 【0154】 In some embodiments, the bottom of the reinforcing element 30 is bonded to the bottom wall of the housing cavity 10a via a second adhesive layer. This bonding of the bottom of the reinforcing element 30 to the bottom wall of the housing cavity 10a provides a fixed connection between the reinforcing element 30 and the bottom wall of the housing cavity 10a, resulting in a simple structure that is easy to process and assemble. In this case, the reinforcing element 30, the first wall 201, and the bottom wall of the housing cavity 10a are each bonded and fixed, ensuring the secure installation of the reinforcing element 30. 【0155】 In some embodiments, the bottom of the battery cell 20 is bonded to the bottom wall of the housing cavity 10a via a third adhesive layer, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the battery cell 20 and the bottom wall of the housing cavity 10a. The structure is simple and easy to process and assemble. In this case, the reinforcing element 30 is bonded and fixed to the first wall 201, and the battery cell 20 is bonded and fixed to the bottom wall of the housing cavity 10a, and the reinforcing element 30 is indirectly fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the housing cavity 10a via the battery cell 20. 【0156】 In some embodiments, the bottom of the reinforcing element 30 is bonded to the bottom wall of the housing cavity 10a via a second adhesive layer, and the bottom of the battery cell 20 is bonded to the bottom wall of the housing cavity 10a via a third adhesive layer. 【0157】 In some embodiments, at least a portion of the heat from the battery cell 20 can be transferred to the reinforcing element 30 via the first adhesive layer, and the thickness of the first adhesive layer is less than or equal to the thickness of the second adhesive layer, thereby ensuring a secure connection between the battery cell 20 and the reinforcing element 30, and a secure connection between the reinforcing element 30 and the bottom wall of the housing cavity 10a, which is advantageous in reducing the thermal resistance in heat conduction between the battery cell 20 and the reinforcing element 30, and ensuring the heat conduction efficiency between the battery cell 20 and the reinforcing element 30. 【0158】 In some embodiments, the thickness of the first adhesive layer is less than or equal to the thickness of the third adhesive layer, thereby ensuring a secure connection between the battery cell 20 and the reinforcing element 30 and the bottom wall of the housing cavity 10a, while also being advantageous in reducing the thermal resistance in heat conduction between the battery cell 20 and the reinforcing element 30, and ensuring the heat conduction efficiency between the battery cell 20 and the reinforcing element 30. 【0159】 In some embodiments, the thickness of the first adhesive layer is less than or equal to the thickness of the second adhesive layer, and the thickness of the first adhesive layer is less than or equal to the thickness of the third adhesive layer. By rationally setting the thicknesses of the first adhesive layer, the second adhesive layer, and the third adhesive layer, it is ensured that the adhesive is rationally distributed and utilized, thereby realizing secure installation of the battery cell 20 and reinforcing element 30 within the housing cavity 10a. 【0160】 In some embodiments, the thermal conductivity of the first adhesive layer is greater than or equal to that of the second adhesive layer, allowing at least a portion of the heat from the battery cell 20 to be transferred to the reinforcing element 30 via the first adhesive layer. This is advantageous in reducing the thermal resistance in heat conduction between the battery cell 20 and the reinforcing element 30, and ensuring a secure connection between the battery cell 20 and the reinforcing element 30, as well as a secure connection between the reinforcing element 30 and the bottom wall of the housing cavity 10a, thereby ensuring the heat conduction efficiency between the battery cell 20 and the reinforcing element 30. 【0161】 In some embodiments, the thermal conductivity of the first adhesive layer is greater than or equal to that of the third adhesive layer, thereby ensuring a secure connection between the battery cell 20 and the reinforcing element 30 and the bottom wall of the housing cavity 10a, respectively. This is also advantageous in reducing the thermal resistance in heat conduction between the battery cell 20 and the reinforcing element 30, thereby ensuring the heat conduction efficiency between the battery cell 20 and the reinforcing element 30. 【0162】 Naturally, some of the heat from the battery cell 20 can also be transferred to and dissipated from the bottom wall of the housing cavity 10a via the third adhesive layer. 【0163】 In some embodiments, the thermal conductivity of the first adhesive layer is greater than or equal to the thermal conductivity of the second adhesive layer, and the thermal conductivity of the first adhesive layer is greater than 3 The thermal conductivity of the adhesive layer is greater than that of the adhesive layer, thereby enabling the rational distribution and utilization of the adhesive, ensuring the stable installation of the battery cell 20 and reinforcing element 30, and simultaneously ensuring the rapid dissipation of heat from the battery cell 20. 【0164】 In some embodiments, the ratio between the thickness of the first adhesive layer and the thermal conductivity of the first adhesive layer is the first ratio, the ratio between the thickness of the second adhesive layer and the thermal conductivity of the second adhesive layer is the second ratio, and the ratio between the thickness of the third adhesive layer and the thermal conductivity of the third adhesive layer is the third ratio. 【0165】 Here, the first ratio is less than or equal to the second ratio, and / or the first ratio is less than or equal to the third ratio. This ensures that the heat exchange effect of the battery cell 20 is guaranteed, while enabling the effective and rational use of the adhesive and achieving a rational distribution of the adhesive. 【0166】 In some embodiments, the material of the first adhesive layer is different from the material of the second adhesive layer, or the material of the first adhesive layer is different from the material of the third adhesive layer, or the material of the first adhesive layer is different from the material of the second adhesive layer and the material of the third adhesive layer, respectively. 【0167】 In some embodiments, the battery 100 includes a plurality of battery modules 100a, each battery module 100a including at least one row of battery groups 20A and at least one reinforcing element 30, each battery group 20A including a plurality of battery cells 20 arranged in a row along a second direction y, and the first wall 201 of each battery cell 20 of the battery group 20A is fixed to and thermally conductively connected to the reinforcing element 30. There may be a plurality of battery groups 20A and reinforcing elements 30, and the plurality of battery groups 20A and plurality of reinforcing elements 30 are arranged alternately along the first direction x. 【0168】 Selectively, the battery module 100a includes N sets of battery groups 20A and N-1 reinforcing elements 30, where the reinforcing elements 30 are installed between two adjacent sets of battery groups 20A, and N is an integer greater than 1. For example, if N is 2, the multiple battery modules 100a are arranged along a first direction x, with gaps between adjacent battery modules 100a. Naturally, the reinforcing elements 30 may be provided between the battery groups 20A and the inner wall of the housing 10. 【0169】 In some embodiments, a row of battery cells 20 arranged along a second direction y may be connected to the reinforcing element 30 on only one side in the first direction x, or both sides in the first direction may be connected to the reinforcing element 30, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto. 【0170】 In some embodiments, the reinforcing element 30 is a heat conductive member 3a, which is used to exchange heat with the battery cell 20, ensuring the efficiency of heat conduction of the reinforcing element 30 and allowing the battery cell 20 to reach an appropriate temperature. Naturally, the reinforcing element 30 may also be a heat management member 3b, which is also used to exchange heat with the battery cell 20, thereby allowing the battery cell 20 to reach an appropriate temperature. 【0171】 In this application, the heat conduction member 3a may also be referred to as the heat management member 3b, and naturally, the heat conduction member 3a may also be referred to as the partition plate 33 which has the function of heat conduction and heat exchange with the battery cell 20, as described later. 【0172】 In some embodiments, the heat conduction member 3a includes metallic and / or non-metallic materials, allowing for flexible material selection and installation of the heat conduction member 3a. In addition to enabling the heat conduction member 3a to have good heat conduction capacity, it also possesses other desirable properties, better meeting the needs for application differentiation. 【0173】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 10 to 13, the heat conduction member 3a includes a metal plate 31 and an insulating layer 32, with the insulating layer 32 being installed on the surface of the metal plate 31. By installing it in this way, the metal plate 31 can ensure the strength of the heat conduction member 3a, and the insulating layer 32 can make the surface connected to the first wall 201 of the heat conduction member 3a an insulating surface, thereby avoiding electrical connection between the metal plate 31 and the battery cell 20 and ensuring electrical insulation in the battery 100. 【0174】 Selectively, the insulating layer 32 may be an insulating film adhered to the surface of the metal plate 31, or an insulating paint applied to the surface of the metal plate 31. 【0175】 In some embodiments, the heat conduction member 3a is a non-metallic material plate, meaning the entire heat conduction member 3a is a non-metallic insulating material. Naturally, in those embodiments, a portion of the heat conduction member 3a is made of a non-metallic material. 【0176】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 12, a cavity 30a is installed inside the heat conduction member 3a. The cavity 30a is used, for example, when the thickness of the heat conduction member 3a is large, and can ensure the strength of the heat conduction member 3a while simultaneously reducing its weight. Furthermore, the cavity 30a allows the heat conduction member 3a to have a large compression space in a direction perpendicular to the first wall 201 (e.g., first direction x), thereby providing the battery cell 20 with a large expansion space. 【0177】 Selectively, the cavity 30a is used to contain a fluid and regulate the temperature of the battery cell 20. 【0178】 The fluid acting as the heat exchange medium may be a liquid or a gas, and temperature regulation refers to heating or cooling one or more battery cells 20. When cooling the battery cells 20, the cavity 30a can contain a cooling medium for regulating the temperature of one or more battery cells 20, in which case the fluid may also be called a cooling medium or cooling fluid, and more specifically, a cooling liquid or cooling gas. The fluid may also be used for heating, and the embodiments of this application are not limited thereto. Selectively, the fluid may circulate to achieve a better temperature control effect. Selectively, the fluid may be water, a mixture of water and ethylene glycol, a heat transfer oil, a refrigerant, or air, etc. 【0179】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 14, 15 and 30, there are multiple battery cells 20, and the multiple battery cells 20 are arranged along a second direction y, the reinforcing element 30 includes a partition plate 33, the partition plate 33 extends along the second direction y, and the partition plate 33 is connected to the first wall 201 of each battery cell 20 in the multiple battery cells 20, and the second direction y is parallel to the first wall 201. 【0180】 As a result, the first wall 201 with the largest surface area of ​​each of the multiple battery cells 20 is connected to the partition plate 33, and the multiple battery cells 20 are connected integrally via the partition plate 33, eliminating the need to install side plates inside the battery 100 and the need to install additional structures such as beams, thereby significantly improving the space utilization rate inside the battery 100 and improving the energy density of the battery 100. 【0181】 As batteries are used, the blue film on the surface of the battery cells becomes more susceptible to damage. When the blue film is damaged, insulation failure occurs between adjacent battery cells and between the battery cells and the housing, increasing the risk of a short circuit. Furthermore, to regulate the temperature of the battery cells, water cooling plates or heating plates are installed between adjacent battery cells. The surface of these plates lacks insulating protection, and water vapor inside the battery easily liquefies on the surface of the water cooling plates or heating plates. If the blue film is damaged, the risk of a short circuit increases even further. 【0182】 Taking the above into consideration, in order to mitigate the problem of the battery short-circuiting due to damage to the blue film, the inventors conducted diligent research and found that the reinforcing element 30 is installed to further include an insulating layer 32, and the insulating layer 32 is used to insulate and isolate the first wall 201 of the battery cell 20 from the partition plate 33. 【0183】 The insulating layer 32 is installed on the surface of the partition plate 33, making it less susceptible to damage caused by expansion of the battery cell's outer shape or self-heating. If an insulating structure is not provided on the surface of the battery cell or the blue film on the surface of the battery cell is damaged, and water vapor inside the battery cell liquefies on the surface of the partition plate, the insulating layer 32 installed on the surface of the partition plate 33 will provide insulation between the battery cell 20 and the partition plate 33. , electric This effectively mitigates the problem of short-circuiting the battery 100 due to damage to the blue film of the battery cell 20 or liquefaction of water vapor on the surface of the partition plate 33, thereby reducing the risk of short-circuiting the battery 100 and improving the safety of power usage in power consumption devices. 【0184】 The insulating layer 32 is connected to the surface of the partition plate 33, thereby allowing the insulating layer 32 to cover part or all of the surface of the partition plate 33. 【0185】 In some embodiments, the partition plate 33 is a thermal management member 3b, which is used to exchange heat with the battery cell 20. The thermal management member 3b has a structure that exchanges heat with the battery cell 20 and includes a resistive heating wire, a heat conductive member through which the heat exchange medium passes, and a material that generates a chemical reaction and causes a temperature change in response to changes in the environment in which it is located. Heat exchange with the battery cell 20 is achieved by the temperature change of the thermal management member 3b itself. In this case, if the temperature of the thermal management member 3b is lower than the temperature of the battery cell 20, the thermal management member 3b cools the battery cell 20, preventing thermal runaway due to the battery cell 20 being too hot. If the temperature of the thermal management member 3b is higher than the temperature of the battery cell 20, the thermal management member 3b heats the battery cell 20, ensuring the normal operation of the battery 100. 【0186】 The thermal management member 3b may have a structure capable of containing a fluid medium, and heat is transferred between the battery cell 20 and the fluid medium via the thermal management member 3b and the insulating layer 32, thereby achieving heat exchange between the battery cell 20 and the fluid medium. The fluid medium may be a liquid (e.g., water) or a gas (e.g., air). In this case, if the temperature of the fluid medium contained inside the thermal management member 3b is lower than the temperature of the battery cell 20, the thermal management member 3b cools the battery cell 20, preventing thermal runaway of the battery cell 20 due to excessively high temperature, and the thermal management member 3 b If the temperature of the fluid medium contained inside is higher than the temperature of the battery cell 20, the thermal control member 3b can heat the battery cell 20 to ensure the normal operation of the battery 100. 【0187】 Selectively, the thermal management member 3b may be installed on one side of the battery cell 20 and located between the battery cell 20 and the housing 10, or it may be provided between two adjacent battery cells 20. 【0188】 In some embodiments, the insulating layer 32 may insulate and isolate only the battery cell 20 from the partition plate 33. In other embodiments, the insulating layer 32 may not only insulate and isolate the battery cell 20 from the partition plate 33, but also insulate and isolate the partition plate 33 from the inner wall of the housing 10, further reducing the risk of short-circuiting the battery 100 and thereby further improving the safety of the battery 100. 【0189】 For example, multiple battery cells 20 are stacked along a first direction x, a partition plate 33 is placed between two adjacent battery cells 20, and insulating layers 32 are provided on opposite sides of the partition plate 33, so that each battery cell 20 and the partition plate 33 in two adjacent battery cells 20 are insulated and isolated via the insulating layers 32. 【0190】 For example, a partition plate 33 may be installed between the two battery cells 20 located at the outermost ends and the inner wall of the housing 10, along the stacking direction of the multiple battery cells 20. The insulating layer 32 connected to the partition plate 33 can insulate and isolate only the battery cells 20 and the partition plate 33. Naturally, the insulating layer 32 connected to the partition plate 33 can not only insulate and isolate the battery cells 20 and the partition plate 33, but can also insulate and isolate the partition plate 33 and the inner wall of the housing 10, further reducing the risk of a short circuit in the battery 100 and thereby further improving the safety of the battery 100. 【0191】 In some embodiments, the thermal conductivity λ of the insulating layer 32 is 0.1 W / (m·K) or higher, and the insulating layer 32 has good thermal conductivity, thereby enabling the insulating layer 32 to perform a heat transfer function, providing good thermal conductivity between the battery cell 20 and the partition plate 33, improving the heat exchange efficiency between the battery cell 20 and the partition plate 33, and, for example, if the partition plate 33 is a thermal management member 3b, it helps to effectively ensure that the battery cell 20 is at an appropriate temperature. 【0192】 Thermal conductivity refers to the heat transferred per hour through an area of ​​1 square meter in a 1 m thick material under stable thermal conduction conditions, when the temperature difference between its two sides is 1 degree (K, °C). Its unit is watts per meter·degree (W / (m·K), where K can be replaced with °C). 【0193】 In some embodiments, the density of the insulating layer 32 is G ≤ 1.5 g / cm³. 3 That is the case. 【0194】 When an insulating layer 32 is installed on the surface of the thermal management member 3b, the weight of the battery 100 increases. The lower the density of the insulating layer 32, the lower the mass of the insulating layer 32, and the higher the density of the insulating layer 32, the higher the mass of the insulating layer 32. Since the density of the insulating layer 32 is G ≤ 1.5 g / cm³, the weight of the insulating layer 32 is small, which reduces the weight of the battery 100, thereby reducing the impact of installing the insulating layer 32 on the weight of the battery 100, and is advantageous for reducing the weight of the battery 100. 【0195】 In some embodiments, the compressive strength P of the insulating layer 32 satisfies 0.01 MPa ≤ P ≤ 200 MPa, giving the insulating layer 32 a certain elasticity. When the battery cell 20 expands and deforms, the insulating layer 32 deforms itself, thereby reducing the impact on the entire battery 100. Alternatively, when the battery 100 is subjected to impact, the elastic insulating layer 32 deforms itself, providing a buffering effect, thus providing a certain level of protection to the battery cell 20 and improving the safety of the battery 100. 【0196】 Compressive strength refers to the maximum compressive stress a sample experiences before it fractures or yields during a compression test. 【0197】 There are various options for the material of the insulating layer 32. For example, in some embodiments, the material of the insulating layer 32 includes at least one of polyethylene terephthalate, polyimide, and polycarbonate. 【0198】 The insulating layer 32 may consist of only one of polyethylene terephthalate, polyimide, or polycarbonate. In another embodiment, the insulating layer 32 may consist of two or three of polyethylene terephthalate, polyimide, or polycarbonate. For example, the insulating layer 32 includes a first insulating layer and a second insulating layer that are laminated together, wherein the first insulating layer is made of polyethylene terephthalate and the second insulating layer is made of polyimide, or the first insulating layer is made of polyimide and the second insulating layer is made of polycarbonate, or the first insulating layer is made of polyethylene terephthalate and the second insulating layer is made of polycarbonate. In some other embodiments, the insulating layer 32 includes a first insulating layer, a second insulating layer, and a third insulating layer that are laminated together, wherein the first insulating layer is made of polyethylene terephthalate, the second insulating layer is made of polyimide, and the third insulating layer is made of polycarbonate. 【0199】 Polyethylene terephthalate, polyimide, and polycarbonate have advantages such as high impact strength and high heat degradation resistance. Therefore, the insulating layer 32 is made of at least one of polyethylene terephthalate, polyimide, and polycarbonate, and the insulating layer 32 has advantages such as high impact strength and high heat degradation resistance. Furthermore, the thermal conductivity of polyethylene terephthalate is generally 0.24 W / m·K, the thermal conductivity of polyimide is generally 0.1 to 0.5 W / m·K, and the thermal conductivity of polycarbonate is generally 0.16 to 0.25 W / m·K. Therefore, all three materials have good thermal conductivity, and when the insulating layer 32 is formed using at least one of the three materials, the insulating layer 32 has good thermal conductivity, improving the heat exchange performance and heat exchange efficiency between the battery cell 20 and the partition plate 33. 【0200】 There are many ways in which the insulating layer 32 can be connected to the partition plate 33. For example, in some embodiments, the insulating layer 32 is a coating layer applied to the surface of the partition plate 33. That is, the insulating layer 32 is connected to the partition plate 33 by being applied. In this case, the insulating layer 32 may or may not be connected to the battery cell 20. The insulating layer 32 is a coating layer applied to the surface of the partition plate 33, which makes the bond between the insulating layer 32 and the partition plate 33 tighter, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the insulating layer 32 and the partition plate 33 and reducing the risk of the insulating layer 32 detaching from the partition plate 33. 【0201】 In another embodiment, the insulating layer 32 and the partition plate 33 are connected via an adhesive layer. The adhesive layer may be an adhesive layer provided on the insulating layer 32 and / or the partition plate 33. After the adhesive layer adheres the partition plate 33 and the insulating layer 32, the adhesive layer is located between the partition plate 33 and the insulating layer 32. In this case, the insulating layer 32 may or may not be connected to the battery cell 20 via another adhesive layer. Connecting the insulating layer 32 and the partition plate 33 via an adhesive layer is a simple method of connection. 【0202】 Furthermore, in another embodiment, the insulating layer 32 is potted between the partition plate 33 and the battery cell 20. Potting is a process in which a liquid composite is injected into the device by mechanical or manual means and cured into a high-performance thermosetting polymer insulating material under room temperature or heated conditions. By installing the insulating layer 32 between the partition plate 33 and the battery cell 20 using the potting method, the integrity of the overall structure formed from the battery cell 20, the insulating layer 32, and the partition plate 33 can be enhanced, improving its ability to resist external shocks and vibrations. 【0203】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 14, the dimension T1 of the partition plate 33 in the first direction x is less than 0.5 mm, and the first direction x is perpendicular to the first wall 201. This prevents the dimension of the partition plate 33 in the first direction x from being too large and excessively occupying space inside the battery 100, further improving the space utilization rate inside the battery 100 and increasing the energy density of the battery 100. 【0204】 In some embodiments, the dimension T1 of the partition plate 33 in the first direction x is 0.05 mm or more. This avoids a situation where the dimension of the partition plate 33 in the first direction x is too small, i.e., the thickness of the partition plate 33 is small, resulting in insufficient rigidity of the partition plate 33 and failure to meet the strength requirements of the battery 100. 【0205】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 14(c), an insulating layer 32 is provided on the surface of the partition plate 33 to prevent electrical connection between the partition plate 33 and the battery cell 20, thereby improving the safety of the battery 100. Selectively, the insulating layer 32 may be an insulating film adhered to the surface of the partition plate 33, or an insulating paint applied to the surface of the partition plate 33. 【0206】 In some embodiments, the dimension T2 of the insulating layer 32 in the first direction x satisfies 0.01 mm ≤ T2 ≤ 0.3 mm. 【0207】 If the dimension T2 of the insulating layer 32 in the first direction x is too small, the insulating layer 32 cannot effectively prevent the battery cell 20 and the partition plate 33 from being electrically connected, resulting in an insulation failure in the battery 100, which poses a safety risk. 3 If the dimension T2 in the first direction x of 2 is too large, it will excessively occupy space inside the battery 100, which is detrimental to improving the energy density of the battery 100. Therefore, by setting the value of T2 to 0.01 mm to 0.3 mm, it is possible not only to improve the energy density of the battery 100 but also to ensure the safety of the battery 100. 【0208】 In the embodiment of the present invention, the voltage E of the battery 100 and the dimension T2 of the insulating layer 32 in the first direction x are 0.01 × 10 -3 mm / V ≤ T2 / E ≤ 3 × 10 -3 Satisfying mm / V 【0209】 The insulating effect of the insulating layer 32 is related not only to the thickness of the insulating layer 32 but also to the thickness of the insulating layer 32 corresponding to a unit voltage. If T2 / E is too small, that is, if the dimension T2 of the insulating layer 32 in the first direction x for a unit voltage is too small, the insulating layer 32 cannot effectively prevent the battery cell 20 and the partition plate 33 from being electrically connected, resulting in an insulation failure in the battery 100 and posing a safety risk. If T2 / E is too large, that is, if the dimension T2 of the insulating layer 32 in the first direction x for a unit voltage is too large, it will excessively occupy space inside the battery 100, which is detrimental to improving the energy density of the battery 100. Therefore, the value of T2 / E should be 0.01 × 10⁻⁶. -3 ~3×10 -3 By setting it to mm / V, not only can the energy density of battery 100 be improved, but the safety of battery 100 can also be guaranteed. 【0210】 In some embodiments, the surface area S1 of the partition plate 33 connected to the first wall 201 of multiple battery cells 20 and the total area S2 of the first wall 201 of the multiple battery cells 20 connected to the same side of the partition plate 33 satisfy 0.25 ≤ S1 / S2 ≤ 4, where S1 = H1 * L1 and S2 = H2 * L2. As shown in Figure 15, H1 is the dimension of the partition plate 33 in the third direction z, L1 is the dimension of the partition plate 33 in the second direction y, H2 is the dimension of a single battery cell 20 in the third direction z, and L2 is the sum of the dimensions of multiple battery cells 20 in the second direction y. 【0211】 If the value of S1 / S2 is too small, that is, if the surface area S1 of the partition plate 33 connected to the first wall 201 of the multiple battery cells 20 is much smaller than the total area S2 of the first wall 201 of the multiple battery cells 20 connected to the same side of the partition plate 33, the contact area between the first wall 201 and the partition plate 33 is too small, and the strength requirements of the battery 100 cannot be met. If the value of S1 / S2 is too large, that is, if the surface area S1 of the partition plate 33 connected to the first wall 201 is much larger than the total area S2 of the first wall 201 of the multiple battery cells 20 connected to the same side of the partition plate 33, the partition plate 33 occupies an excessive amount of space inside the battery 100 compared to the battery cells 20, which is detrimental to improving the energy density of the battery 100, and therefore S1 / S2 value By setting this to 0.25-4, it is possible to not only improve the energy density of battery 100 but also improve the strength of battery 100. 【0212】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 15, in the third direction z, the dimension H1 of the partition plate 33 and the dimension H2 of the first wall 201 of the battery cell 20 satisfy 0.2 ≤ H1 / H2 ≤ 2, and the third direction z is perpendicular to the first direction x and the second direction y. 【0213】 If H1 / H2 is too small, that is, in the third direction z, the dimension H1 of the partition plate 33 is much smaller than the dimension H2 of the first wall 201 of the battery cell 20, the contact area between the first wall 201 and the partition plate 33 is too small, and the strength requirements of the battery 100 cannot be met. If H1 / H2 is too large, that is, in the third direction z, the dimension H1 of the partition plate 33 is much larger than the dimension H2 of the first wall 201 of the battery cell 20, the partition plate 33 occupies an excessive amount of space inside the battery 100 compared to the battery cell 20, which is detrimental to improving the energy density of the battery 100. Therefore, by setting the value of H1 / H2 to 0.2~2, it is possible to not only improve the energy density of the battery 100 but also improve the strength of the battery 100. 【0214】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 15, in the second direction y, the dimension L1 of the partition plate 33 and the dimension L2 of the multiple battery cells 20 satisfy 0.5 ≤ L1 / L2 ≤ 2. 【0215】 If L1 / L2 is too small, that is, if the dimension L1 of the partition plate 33 is much smaller than the dimension L2 of the first wall 201 of the battery cell 20 in the second direction y, the contact area between the first wall 201 and the partition plate 33 will be too small, and the strength requirements of the battery 100 will not be met. L 1 / L If 2 is too large, that is, in the second direction y, the dimensions of the partition plate 33 L If L1 is much larger than the dimension L2 of the first wall 201 of the battery cell 20, the partition plate 33 will occupy an excessive amount of space inside the battery 100 compared to the battery cell 20, which is detrimental to improving the energy density of the battery 100. Therefore, by setting the value of L1 / L2 to 0.5~2, it is possible to not only improve the energy density of the battery 100 but also improve the strength of the battery 100. 【0216】 Selectively, a fixing structure 103 is installed at the end of the partition plate 33 in the second direction y, and the fixing structure 103 is connected to a fixing member 104 at the end of the partition plate 33 in the second direction y, thereby fixing the partition plate 33. 【0217】 Using the battery cells 20 and partition plates 33 shown in Figure 14, a vibration and shock resistance test of the partition plates was conducted according to the GB38031-2020 standard "Safety Requirements for Power Storage Batteries for Electric Vehicles," and the test results are shown in Table 1. In Table 1, T1 is the dimension of the partition plate in the first direction x, H1 is the dimension of the partition plate in the third direction z, L1 is the dimension of the partition plate in the second direction y, H2 is the dimension of a single battery cell in the third direction z, L2 is the sum of the dimensions of multiple battery cells in the second direction y, and S1 = H1 * L1, S2 = H2 * L2. 【0218】 [Table 1] 【0219】 Using the battery cell 20 and partition plate 33 shown in Figures 14 and 15, and referring to IEC60664-1, the dielectric strength of the partition plate was tested under the conditions that 1000VDC was applied in the insulation test and the insulation resistance value was ≥ 500MΩ, and 2700VDC was applied and sustained for 60S in the withstand voltage test and the leakage current was ≤ 1mA. The test results are shown in Table 2. In Table 2, T2 is the dimension of the insulating layer in the first direction x, and E is the battery voltage. 【0220】 [Table 2] 【0221】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 30 and 31, the dimension T1 of the partition plate 33 in the first direction x is greater than 5 mm, and the first direction is perpendicular to the first wall, thereby ensuring that the partition plate 33 has high reliability in use. 【0222】 For example, as shown in Figure 30, battery 10 0 The device includes a plurality of battery cells 20 and a partition plate 33 arranged along a second direction Y, the partition plate 33 extending along the second direction Y and connected to the first wall 201 of each battery cell 20 in the plurality of battery cells 20. 【0223】 In some embodiments, the dimension T1 of the partition plate in the first direction x is 100 mm or less. 【0224】 If the dimension T1 of the partition plate in the first direction x is too large, it will excessively occupy space inside the battery 100, which is detrimental to improving the energy density of the battery 100. Therefore, by setting the value of T1 to 100 mm or less, the energy density of the battery 100 can be effectively improved. 【0225】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 31, partition plates 33 The dimension T1 of the first direction x and the dimension T3 of the battery cell 20 in the first direction x satisfy 0.04 ≤ T1 / T3 ≤ 2. 【0226】 If T1 / T3 is too small, that is, if the dimension T1 of the partition plate 33 in the first direction x is much smaller than the dimension T3 of the battery cell 20 in the first direction x, the partition plate 33 has a low ability to absorb deformation and does not match the amount of expansion deformation of the battery cell 20, thus reducing the performance of the battery cell 20. If T1 / T3 is too large, that is, if the dimension T1 of the partition plate 33 in the first direction x is much larger than the dimension T3 of the battery cell 20 in the first direction x, the partition plate 33 has a high ability to absorb deformation and far exceeds the expansion deformation space required for the battery cell 20, so that the partition plate 33 is larger than the battery cell 20. 0 It occupies an excessive amount of internal space, and the battery 10 0 This is unfavorable for improving the energy density, and therefore by setting the value of T1 / T3 to 0.04~2, battery 10 0 In addition to improving the energy density, it can also absorb the expansion deformation of the battery cell 20. 【0227】 In some embodiments, an insulating layer 32 is installed on the outer surface of the partition plate 33, and the dimension T2 of the insulating layer 32 along the first direction x is 0.01 mm to 0.3 mm. 【0228】 Partition board 33By installing an insulating layer 32 on the outer surface, the battery cell 20 and the partition plate 33 are prevented from being electrically connected, and the battery 10 0 To improve safety, insulating layer 3 2 If the dimension T2 in the first direction x is too small, the insulating layer 32 cannot effectively prevent the battery cell 20 and the partition plate 33 from being electrically connected, resulting in an insulation failure in the battery 100. If the dimension T2 of the insulating layer 32 in the first direction x is too large, it excessively occupies space inside the battery 100, which is detrimental to improving the energy density of the battery 100. Therefore, by setting the value of T2 to 0.01 mm to 0.3 mm, it is possible not only to improve the energy density of the battery 100 but also to ensure effective insulation between the battery cell 20 and the partition plate 33. 【0229】 Selectively, a flow collector 106 is installed at the end of the partition plate 33 in the second direction y, and piping 107 is installed inside the battery 100, with piping 107 used for transporting fluid and flow collector 106 used for collecting fluid. For example, the connecting pipe module 42 described later may include piping 107. 【0230】 Using the battery cells 20 and partition plates 33 shown in Figures 30 to 34, a cycle-accelerated durability experiment was conducted by performing 1C / 1C charge-discharge cycles at 60°C until the capacity decayed to 80% of the State of Charge (SOC). The results are shown in Table 3. In Table 3, T1 is the dimension of the partition plate in the first direction x, and T3 is the dimension of the battery cell in the first direction x. 【0231】 [Table 3] 【0232】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 10 to 13, the reinforcing element 30 is fixedly connected to the first wall 201 of one or more battery cells 20. Therefore, in order to guarantee the performance of the battery 100, the reinforcing element 30 also needs to meet strength requirements. The dimensions of the reinforcing element 30 in the first direction x are set to 0.1 mm to 100 mm, and the first direction is perpendicular to the first wall 201, thereby satisfying both strength and space requirements. 【0233】 Specifically, when the dimension T4 of the reinforcing element 30 in the first direction, i.e., the thickness of the reinforcing element 3, is large, the strength of the reinforcing element 30 is high, and when T4 is small, the occupied space is small. When T4 < 0.1 mm, the reinforcing element 30 is easily damaged by external forces, and when T4 > 100 mm, it occupies space excessively, affecting the energy density. Therefore, when the dimension T4 of the reinforcing element 30 in the first direction x is between 0.1 mm and 100 mm, it is possible to improve space utilization while guaranteeing strength. 【0234】 In some embodiments, a reinforcing element 3 is installed in the battery 100, and the reinforcing element 3 is connected to the first wall 201 of each battery cell 20, which has the largest surface area in a plurality of battery cells 20 arranged along a second direction y in a single row. The reinforcing element 30 is used to conduct heat from the battery cells 20, and the surface of the reinforcing element 30 connected to the first wall 201 is an insulating surface. The dimensions of the reinforcing element 30 in the first direction x perpendicular to the first wall 201 are 0.1 mm to 100 mm. This eliminates the need to install additional structures such as beams in the center of the housing 10 of the battery 100, maximizing the utilization rate of space inside the battery 100, thereby improving the energy density of the battery 100. At the same time, the reinforcing element 30 can be used to ensure electrical insulation and heat conduction in the battery 100. Therefore, the technical solution of the embodiments of the present invention can improve the energy density of the battery 100 and simultaneously ensure electrical insulation and heat conduction in the battery 100, thereby improving the performance of the battery 100. 【0235】 In some embodiments, the dimension T3 of the battery cell 20 in the first direction x and the dimension T5 of the heat conduction member 3a in the first direction x satisfy 0 < T5 / T3 ≤ 7. 【0236】 If T5 / T3 is too large, the heat conduction member 3a occupies a large space and affects the energy density. Also, if the heat conduction of the heat conduction member to the battery cell 20 is too fast, safety problems may occur. For example, when one battery cell 20 undergoes thermal runaway, there is a possibility that thermal runaway may be caused in other battery cells 20 connected to the same heat conduction member. If 0 < T5 / T3 ≤ 7, the energy density of the battery 100 can be guaranteed and the safety performance of the battery 100 can be guaranteed. 【0237】 In some embodiments, the dimension T3 of the battery cell 20 in the first direction x and the dimension T5 of the heat conduction member 3a in the first direction x further satisfy 0 < T5 / T3 ≤ 1, thereby further improving the energy density of the battery 100 and guaranteeing the safety performance of the battery 100. 【0238】 In an alternative embodiment, the weight M1 of the battery cell 20 and the weight M2 of the heat conduction member 3a satisfy 0 < M2 / M1 ≤ 20. 【0239】 If M2 / M1 is too large, the weight energy density is lost. If 0 < M2 / M1 ≤ 20, the weight energy density of the battery 100 can be guaranteed and the safety performance of the battery 100 can be guaranteed. 【0240】 Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, the weight M1 of the battery cell 20 and the weight M2 of the heat conduction member 3a further satisfy 0.1 ≤ M2 / M1 ≤ 1, thereby further improving the energy density of the battery 100 and guaranteeing the safety performance of the battery 100. 【0241】 In some embodiments, the area S3 of the first wall 201 and the surface area S4 of the heat conduction member 3a connected to the first wall 201 of a plurality of battery cells 20 in one row satisfy 0.2 ≤ S4 / S3 ≤ 30. 【0242】 S4 is the total surface area of the surface of the heat conduction member 3a connected to the battery cell 20. If S4 / S3 is too large, it will affect the energy density. If S4 / S3 is too small, the heat conduction effect is inferior and it will affect the safety performance. If 0.2 ≦ S4 / S3 ≦ 30, the energy density of the battery 100 can be guaranteed and the safety performance of the battery 100 can be guaranteed. 【0243】 Optionally, S4 and S3 further satisfy 2 ≦ S4 / S3 ≦ 10, thereby further improving the energy density of the battery 100 and guaranteeing the safety performance of the battery 100. 【0244】 In some embodiments, the specific heat capacity C of the heat conduction member 3a and the weight M2 of the heat conduction member 3a satisfy 0.02 KJ / (kg 2 *℃) ≦ C / M2 ≦ 100 KJ / (kg 2 *℃). 【0245】 When C / M2 < 0.02 KJ / (kg 2 *℃), the heat conduction member 3a absorbs a lot of energy, the temperature of the battery cell 20 becomes too low, and lithium may be deposited. When C / M2 > 100 KJ / (kg 2 *℃), the heat conduction ability of the heat conduction member 3a is low and it cannot immediately take away the heat. If 0.02 KJ / (kg 2 *℃) ≦ C / M2 ≦ 100 KJ / (kg 2 *℃), the safety performance of the battery 100 can be guaranteed. 【0246】 Optionally, C and M2 further satisfy 0.3 KJ / (kg 2 *℃) ≦ C / M2 ≦ 20 KJ / (kg 2 *℃), thereby further improving the safety performance of the battery 100. 【0247】 In some embodiments, the battery 100 may include a plurality of battery modules 100a. The battery module 100a may include a plurality of battery cells 20 in at least one row and at least one heat conductive member 3a arranged along a second direction y, and the at least one row of battery cells 20 and at least one heat conductive member 3a are arranged alternately in the first direction x. That is, in each battery module 100a, the rows of battery cells and heat conductive members 3a are arranged alternately in the first direction x, and the plurality of battery modules 100 a These are housed within the casing 10 to form the battery 100. 【0248】 Selectively, the battery module 100a includes two rows of battery cells 20, with one heat conductive member 3a installed within each of the two rows of battery cells 20. No heat conductive member 3a is installed between adjacent battery modules 100a, thereby reducing the number of heat conductive members 3a installed within the battery 100 while simultaneously ensuring that each battery cell 20 is connected to a heat conductive member 3a. 【0249】 If, selectively, multiple battery modules 100 are arranged along a first direction x, with gaps between adjacent battery modules 100, and there are no heat conductive members 3a between adjacent battery modules 100, then the gaps between adjacent battery modules 100a can provide expansion space for the battery cell 20. 【0250】 Selectively, a fixing structure 103 is installed at the end of the heat conduction member 3a in a first direction x, and the heat conduction member 3a is fixed to the housing 10 via the fixing structure 103. As shown in Figure 19, the fixing structure 103 may include a fixing member 104, which is fixedly connected to the end of the heat conduction member 3a and is also connected to a battery cell 20 located at the end of the heat conduction member 3a, thereby enhancing the fixing effect of the battery cell 20. 【0251】 In one embodiment of the present application, the heat conductive member 3a is selectively connected to the first wall 201. That is, the heat conductive member 3a and the battery cell 20 are fixedly connected by adhesive, which may be, for example, a structural adhesive, but the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto. 【0252】 Selectively, the battery cell 20 is located in the housing 1 0 They may be bonded and fixed to each other. Selectively, the gaps between adjacent battery cells 20 in each row are bonded, for example, between the second walls 2 of two adjacent battery cells 20. 0 While 2 may be bonded with a structural adhesive, the embodiments of this application are not limited thereto. The fixing effect of the battery cells 20 can be further enhanced by bonding and fixing adjacent battery cells 20 in each row. 【0253】 Using the battery cells 20 and heat conductive members 3a shown in Figures 10-13, with 2 to 20 battery cells in a single row, a safety test of the battery 100 was conducted based on GB38031-2020. The test results are shown in Tables 4-7, and as can be seen from these, the battery 100 of the embodiment of the present application can meet the safety performance requirements. 【0254】 [Table 4] 【0255】 [Table 5] 【0256】 [Table 6] 【0257】 [Table 7] 【0258】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 15 and 35, in the third direction z, the dimension H1 of the partition plate 33 and the dimension H2 of the first wall 201 satisfy 0.1 ≤ H1 / H2 ≤ 2, the third direction is perpendicular to the second direction, and the third direction is parallel to the first wall. This maximizes the space utilization rate inside the battery 100, thereby improving the energy density of the battery 100. 【0259】 In the third direction z, the dimension H1 of the partition plate 33 may be the height of the partition plate 33, and the dimension H2 of the first wall 201 may be the height of the first wall 201. The relationship between H1 and H2 satisfies 0.1 ≤ H1 / H2 ≤ 2. 【0260】 When H1 / H2 < 0.1, the heat exchange area between the battery cell 20 and the partition plate 33 is small, making it difficult to immediately cool or heat the battery cell 20 and thus difficult to meet the thermal management needs of the battery. 【0261】 If H1 / H2 > 2, the thermal management needs of battery 100 are met, but in this case the partition plate 33 occupies a lot of space, wasting space utilization in the third direction z, making it difficult to guarantee the requirements for the energy density of battery 100. 【0262】 Selectively, H1 / H2 may be 0.1, 0.4, 0.6, 0.9, 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, or 2, etc. 【0263】 In some examples, the partition plate 33 is a thermal control member 3b used to regulate the temperature of the battery cell 20, and the height of the thermal control member 3b in the third direction z is H1. 【0264】 Selectively, the thermal management member 3b may be a water-cooled plate and is used to cool the battery cell 20 during the rapid charging process or to heat the battery cell 20 when the temperature is too low. 【0265】 Selectively, the thermal management member 3b may be made of a material with high thermal conductivity, such as a metal material like aluminum. 【0266】 In some embodiments, the dimension H1 of the partition plate 33 and the dimension H2 of the first wall 201 further satisfy the condition 0.3 ≤ H1 / H2 ≤ 1.3. This ensures that the temperature of the battery cell 20 does not exceed 55°C during the rapid charging process. 【0267】 Selectively, H1 / H2 may be 0.3, 0.5, 0.8, 1.0, 1.1, or 1.3, etc. 【0268】 Selectively, in one embodiment of the present invention, the heat exchange area between the first wall 201 and the partition plate is S, and the relationship between the capacity Q of the battery cell 20 and the heat exchange area S is 0.03 Ah / cm². 2 ≤Q / S ≤ 6.66Ah / cm 2 It satisfies the condition. 【0269】 The heat exchange area S may also be the contact area between the first wall 201 and the partition plate 33, and the heat exchange area S satisfies S = H1 * L, where L is the dimension along the second direction y of each battery cell 20. 【0270】 Q / S < 0.03Ah / cm 2 In this case, the heat exchange area S is sufficiently large, and the requirements for thermal management of the battery are met. However, the space occupied by the partition plate 33 becomes too large, making it difficult to meet the energy density requirements of the battery 100. 【0271】 Q / S > 6.66Ah / cm 2 In this case, the heat exchange area S is small, making it impossible to immediately dissipate the heat from the battery cell 20 through the partition plate 33, and thus the battery cell 20 cannot be immediately and rapidly cooled, making it difficult to meet the thermal management needs. 【0272】 By adjusting the relationship between the heat exchange area S and the capacity Q of the battery cell 20, the temperature of the battery cell 20 can be maintained within an appropriate range during the battery charging process, especially during rapid charging. Furthermore, when the capacity Q of the battery cell 20 is constant, the thermal management needs of the battery can be flexibly met by adjusting the heat exchange area S. 【0273】 In possible implementations, the dimension H1 of the partition plate 33 is 1.5 cm to 30 cm. This ensures that the temperature of the battery cell 20 does not exceed 55°C during the rapid charging process of the battery. 【0274】 A battery charging test was conducted, and the test results are shown in Table 8. 【0275】 [Table 8] 【0276】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 12 and 32, a cavity 30a is installed inside the partition plate 33. 【0277】 As a result, the partition plate 33 on which the cavity structure is installed has deformation absorption capability and can absorb the amount of expansion deformation of the battery cell 20, thereby improving the performance of the battery 100. In other words, the cavity 30a allows the partition plate 33 to have a large compression space in the first direction x, thereby providing the battery cell 20 with a large expansion space. 【0278】 Furthermore, the cavity 30a is used, for example, when the thickness of the partition plate 33 is large, to ensure the strength of the partition plate 33 while simultaneously reducing the weight of the partition plate. 【0279】 Selectively, the cavity 30a may be used to house a heat exchange medium for regulating the temperature of the battery cell 20, thereby easily adjusting the temperature of the battery cell 20 to an appropriate range at any time, improving the stability and safety of the battery cell 20. As can be seen from this, in this case the cavity 30a may also be called a heat exchange cavity, and the cavity 30a corresponds to one or more flow channels 30c for housing the heat exchange medium. 【0280】 The fluid referred to herein may be any liquid, such as water, whose temperature can be controlled and which does not chemically react with the material of cavity 30a; however, this invention is not limited to such liquids. 【0281】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 12 and 32, in the first direction x, the dimension of the cavity 30a is W, the capacity Q of the battery cell 20 and the dimension W of the cavity 30a satisfy 1.0 Ah / mm ≤ Q / W ≤ 400 Ah / mm, the first direction x is perpendicular to the first wall 201, thereby effectively utilizing the partition plate 33 to prevent heat from diffusing between the battery cells 20. By rapidly cooling a battery cell 20 that is too hot and lowering its temperature, the heat from that battery cell 20 is diffused and transferred to the adjacent battery cell 20, preventing the adjacent battery cell 20 from becoming too hot. 【0282】 When Q / W > 400Ah / mm, the dimension W of the cavity 30a is small, and the volume of fluid that can be contained or flowed within the cavity 30a is small, making it impossible to immediately cool the battery cell 20. Therefore, when the temperature of one battery cell 20 becomes too high, it cannot be immediately cooled, and the heat from that battery cell 20 diffuses to the adjacent battery cell 20, causing the temperature of the adjacent battery cell 20 to become too high, resulting in a malfunction and affecting the overall performance of the battery 100. 【0283】 When Q / W < 1.0 Ah / mm, the dimension W of the cavity 30a is large, the volume that can be accommodated or flowed within the cavity 30a is large, and the battery cell 20 can be sufficiently cooled. However, the large dimension of the cavity 30a results in a large space occupied by the partition plate 33, which cannot guarantee the energy density of the battery 100, and at the same time, the partition plate 33, which is too large in volume, leads to increased costs. 【0284】 The cavity 30a may be formed from a pair of heat conduction plates 333 in the partition plate 33, and the dimension W of the cavity 30a along the first direction x may be the distance along the first direction x between the inner walls of the two heat conduction plates 333. The larger the dimension W of the cavity 30a, the larger the volume of the cavity 30a, and the larger the volume of fluid that can be contained or flowed within the cavity 30a, thereby accelerating heat transfer between the battery cell 20 and the partition plate 33. For example, if the partition plate 33 is a water-cooled plate, the larger the dimension W of the cavity 30a, the faster the heat from the battery cell 20 is released, thereby accelerating the cooling of the battery cell 20 and preventing the diffusion of heat from the battery cell 20 to adjacent battery cells 20. Selectively, the fluid may circulate to achieve a better temperature control effect. Selectively, the fluid may be water, a mixture of water and ethylene glycol, a refrigerant, or air, etc. 【0285】 Figure 36 is a schematic diagram of a structure in which a battery cell and a thermal management member are connected according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 37 is a cross-sectional view along the AA direction in Figure 36, and Figure 38 is an enlarged schematic view of region G in Figure 37. In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figures 36 to 38, the dimension T3 of the battery cell 20 along the first direction x and the dimension H of the thermal management member 3b along the third direction satisfy 0.03 ≤ T3 / H ≤ 5.5, and the third direction is perpendicular to the first and second directions. 【0286】 The dimension T3 of the battery cell 20 along the first direction x may also be the thickness T3 of the battery cell 20, and the thickness T3 of the battery cell 20 is related to the capacity Q of the battery cell 20, with the larger the thickness T3, the larger the capacity Q. 【0287】 The dimension H1 of the partition plate 33 along the third direction may also be the height H of the thermal management member 3b along the third direction. The larger H is, the larger the volume of the thermal management member 3b, the larger the occupied space, and at the same time, the higher the thermal management capacity. For example, if the thermal management member 3b is a water-cooled plate, the larger H is, the higher the cooling capacity for the battery cells 20, and the more effectively the diffusion of heat from the battery cells 20 to adjacent battery cells 20 can be prevented. 【0288】 When T3 / H < 0.03, the dimension H along the third direction of the thermal management member 3b is large, which can adequately satisfy the requirement of preventing heat diffusion from the battery cell 20. However, it becomes difficult to meet the energy density requirements of the battery 100, and at the same time, the large volume of the thermal management member 3b leads to increased production costs. 【0289】 When T3 / H > 5.5, the thermal management component 3b has difficulty meeting the thermal management needs of the battery cell 20, and cannot immediately dissipate the heat from the battery cell 20. This heat then diffuses to adjacent battery cells 20, causing temperature anomalies in other battery cells 20 and affecting the performance of the battery 100. 【0290】 In some embodiments, the dimension H1 of the partition plate 33 along the third direction is 15 mm to 300 mm. This allows the partition plate 33 to meet the needs for both strength and thermal management performance. 【0291】 In some embodiments, the dimension W of the cavity 30a is between 0.8 mm and 50 mm. This allows for a balance between the needs for strength and thermal management performance. 【0292】 A thermal diffusion test of battery 100 was conducted using a system combining two rows of battery cells 20 and two partition plates 33, based on GB38031-2020. The test results are shown in Table 9. 【0293】 [Table 9] 【0294】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 32, 33, and 38, the partition plate 33 further includes a pair of heat conduction plates 333 that are positioned opposite each other along a first direction, the cavity 30a is positioned between the pair of heat conduction plates 333, and the first direction is perpendicular to the first wall 201. 【0295】 For example, each heat conduction plate 333 extends along a second direction, and two heat conduction plates 333 face each other along a first direction, thereby forming a cavity 30a between the two heat conduction plates 333, the cavity 30a may serve as a flow path for a heat exchange medium, and the partition plate 33 is formed as a heat conduction member 3a or a heat management member 3b. 【0296】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 32, the dimension D of the heat conductive plate 333 in the first direction x is 0.1 mm to 5 mm. 【0297】 If the dimension D of the heat conduction plate 333 in the first direction is too small, and the space inside the partition plate 33 remains constant, the cavity 30a will occupy most of the space inside the partition plate 33. In this case, the partition plate 33 will have low rigidity and will not be able to effectively improve the structural strength of the battery 100. If the dimension D of the heat conduction plate 333 in the first direction is too large, the cavity 30a inside the partition plate 33 will be very small, and it will not be able to contain much fluid and will not be able to effectively regulate the temperature of the battery cell 20. Therefore, the value of D is set to 0.1 mm to 5 mm. 【0298】 Selectively, the dimensions D of the pair of heat conduction plates 333 of the partition plate 33 in the first direction may be the same or different. 【0299】 Selectively, the two heat conduction plates 333 may be made of a material with high thermal conductivity, such as a metal material like aluminum. 【0300】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 33 and 38, the partition plate 33 further includes reinforcing ribs 334, which are provided between a pair of heat conduction plates 333 to enhance the structural strength of the partition plate 33. 【0301】 Selectively, the number of reinforcing ribs 334 is one, which allows for the formation of one or more cavities 30a between a pair of heat conduction plates 333. 【0302】 If there are multiple cavities 30a, the different cavities 30a may be independent of each other or may be connected via an adapter. When the reinforcing rib 334 is connected to only one of the pair of heat conduction plates 333, the reinforcing rib 334 is a cantilever with one end connected to the heat conduction plate 333, in which case the cavity 30a can correspond to one flow path 30c, and when the reinforcing rib 334 is connected to each of the pair of heat conduction plates 333, the cavity 30a can correspond to multiple flow paths 30c. The number of reinforcing ribs 334 can be specifically determined according to requirements, and the embodiments of this application are not limited thereto. 【0303】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 33 and 45, the reinforcing ribs 334 are connected to at least one of the pair of heat conduction plates 333, thereby further ensuring the structural strength of the partition plate 33. 【0304】 Selectively, as shown in Figure 33, the reinforcing rib 334 may be installed on only one heat conduction plate 333, or the reinforcing rib 334 may be installed between a pair of heat conduction plates 333 and connected to the pair of heat conduction plates 333. 【0305】 Selectively, as shown in Figure 33, when the reinforcing rib 334 is connected to a pair of heat conduction plates 333, the angle between the reinforcing rib 334 and the heat conduction plate 333 may be acute, thereby providing a larger expansion space for the battery cell 20. Alternatively, as shown in Figure 33, when the reinforcing rib 334 is connected to a single heat conduction plate 333, the angle between the reinforcing rib 334 and the heat conduction plate 333 may be right-angled, thereby allowing the partition plate to withstand greater pressure. 【0306】 Selectively, the reinforcing ribs 334 may have irregular shapes such as C-shape, corrugated, or cross-shaped, which can effectively absorb expansion and also add turbulence to enhance the heat exchange effect. 【0307】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 45, the reinforcing rib 334 includes a first reinforcing rib 3341, to which a pair of heat conduction plates 333 are connected at each end, and the first reinforcing rib 3341 is used to support the pair of heat conduction plates 333. When the partition plate 33 deforms to absorb the expansion force of the battery cell 20, the first reinforcing rib 3341 can deform in response to the pair of heat conduction plates 33 moving toward each other, at least partially along the first direction x. 【0308】 When the first reinforcing rib 3341 is installed at an angle with respect to the first direction x, the angle between the first reinforcing rib 3341 and one of the pair of heat conduction plates 333 is less than 90°, which improves the flexibility of the first reinforcing rib 3341, allowing it to deform better to meet the need to absorb the expansion force of the partition plate 33, and avoids the risk of the deformation space being smaller due to the straight shape, making it prone to rupture and failure. 【0309】 Selectively, the first reinforcing rib 3341 may be one or more, and the multiple first reinforcing ribs 3341 may be spaced apart along the third direction z, and the spacing between two adjacent first reinforcing ribs 3341 may be the same or different. 【0310】 Selectively, the material of the first reinforcing rib 3341 may be fabricated using the structure of the reinforcing rib, ensuring support while simultaneously achieving a lightweight design for the partition plate 33 and a lightweight design for the entire battery 100. 【0311】 Selectively, the first reinforcing rib 3341 is connected to a pair of heat conduction plates 333, and the first reinforcing rib 3341 extends along the second direction y, thereby increasing the connection area between the first reinforcing rib 3341 and each heat conduction plate 333, and improving the support strength. 【0312】 Selectively, the first reinforcing rib 3341 exhibits a plate-like structure, which can be deformed more effectively, satisfies the requirement that the partition plate absorb the expansion force of the battery cell 20, is advantageous for production and processing, and improves manufacturing efficiency. 【0313】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 45, the range of the angle between the first reinforcing rib 3341 and the first direction x is 30° to 60°, and the range of the angle between the first reinforcing rib 3341 and one of the pair of heat conductive plates 333 is 30° to 60°, which not only better satisfies the support requirements but also makes it easier to deform and less likely to break. 【0314】 If there are multiple first reinforcing ribs 3341, the inclination directions of two adjacent first reinforcing ribs 3341 may be the same or different. 【0315】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 45, the reinforcing rib 334 further includes a second reinforcing rib 3342, one end of which is connected to one of a pair of heat conduction plates 333, and the other end of which is spaced apart from the other of the pair of heat conduction plates 333, such that, for example, the extension dimension of the second reinforcing rib 3342 in the first direction x is smaller than the distance between the pair of heat conduction plates 333. 【0316】 Therefore, by installing the second reinforcing rib 3342, not only is a better support effect achieved in conjunction with the first reinforcing rib 3341, but the deformation range of the partition plate 33 can be controlled. When the second reinforcing rib 3342 of one of the pair of heat conduction plates 333 comes into contact with the other, the deformation of the partition plate 33 can be further restricted, preventing the flow path 30c corresponding to the cavity 30a from becoming blocked, thereby ensuring the effectiveness of the flow path 30c and the effectiveness of the partition plate 33. 【0317】 Selectively, the pair of heat conduction plates 333 are a first heat conduction plate 3331 and a second heat conduction plate 3332, and the second reinforcing rib 3342 may be installed on the first heat conduction plate 3331 or on the second heat conduction plate 3332, and exemplary, the second reinforcing rib 3342 is installed on both the first heat conduction plate 3331 and the second heat conduction plate 3332. 【0318】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 45, a second reinforcing rib 3342 is installed between two adjacent first reinforcing ribs 3341 in the third direction z. Selectively, one of the two adjacent second reinforcing ribs 3342 is installed on the first heat conduction plate 3331 and the other on the second heat conduction plate 3332, thereby ensuring that the forces acting on the first heat conduction plate 3331 and the second heat conduction plate 3332 are uniform, while simultaneously preventing them from bearing excessive weight. 【0319】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 45, the second reinforcing rib 3342 extends along the first direction x and protrudes from one of the pair of heat conductive plates 333, simplifying the structure of the second reinforcing rib 3342 and making it easier to process. 【0320】 Selectively, the second reinforcing rib 3342 has a polygonal prism shape, thereby having a sufficient cross-sectional area. When the partition plate 33 absorbs the expansion force of the battery cell 20 and deforms until the second reinforcing rib 3342, which is installed on one of the pair of heat conduction plates 333, comes into contact with the other, the second reinforcing rib 3342 can have a sufficient contact area, further improving its support capacity and ensuring the effectiveness of the partition plate 33 by avoiding the second reinforcing rib 3342 breaking and losing its effectiveness, causing the two heat conduction plates 333 to come into contact. 【0321】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 45, the first reinforcing rib 3341 and the second reinforcing rib 3342 are spaced apart, thereby ensuring that the forces acting on the two heat conduction plates 333 are uniform. 【0322】 In some embodiments, the first reinforcing ribs 3341 and the second reinforcing ribs 3342 are arranged alternately along the third direction z (for example, the height direction of the housing 10). For example, two adjacent first reinforcing ribs 3341 and second reinforcing ribs 3342 may be alternately placed on the first heat conduction plate 3331 and the second heat conduction plate 3332. Of course, the position of the second reinforcing ribs 3342 may be set according to certain arrangement rules. 【0323】 For example, in the third direction z, one of two adjacent second reinforcing ribs 3342 is installed on the first heat conduction plate 3331 and the other on the second heat conduction plate 3332, thereby ensuring that the forces acting on the first heat conduction plate 3331 and the second heat conduction plate 3332 are uniform, while simultaneously preventing them from being subjected to excessively large weights. 【0324】 By installing in this manner, not only is the uniformity of the support action of the two heat conductive plates 333 guaranteed, but blockage phenomena can be prevented in each part of the flow path 30c corresponding to the cavity 30a along the second direction y, thereby ensuring the effectiveness of the flow path 30c. 【0325】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 32 and 45, in the first direction x, the thickness D of the heat conduction plate 333 and the cavity dimension W satisfy 0.01 ≤ D / W ≤ 25, thereby achieving a balance between the needs for strength and thermal management performance. 【0326】 Specifically, if the dimensions W of the cavity 30a are large, the fluid flow resistance within the cavity 30a decreases, improving the heat exchange rate per unit time of the partition plate 33. If the thickness D of the heat conduction plate 333 is large, the strength of the partition plate 33 increases. If D / W is less than 0.01, the dimensions W of the cavity 30a are sufficiently large, but the occupied space is too large, or the thickness D of the heat conduction plate 333 becomes too thin in a given space of the partition plate 33, potentially resulting in insufficient strength. For example, in a battery... 10 If the requirements for vibration shock are not met, the partition plate 33 may be crushed during initial assembly. If D / W ≥ 25, the thickness D of the heat conduction plate 333 is sufficiently thick, but the dimension W of the cavity 30a may become too small in the given space of the partition plate 33, increasing the fluid flow resistance within the cavity 30a, degrading the heat exchange performance, or causing the cavity 30a to become blocked during use. At the same time, if the wall thickness of the heat conduction plate 333 is too large, the force generated by the expansion of the battery cell 20 does not meet the requirement of crushing the partition plate 33 to accommodate the expansion space required for the battery cell 20. In other words, the partition plate 33 cannot immediately release the necessary expansion space for the battery cell 20, accelerating the decrease in the capacity of the battery cell 20. Therefore, if the thickness D of the heat conduction plate 333 and the dimension W of the cavity 30a satisfy 0.01 ≤ D / W ≤ 25, the needs for strength and thermal management performance can be reconciled, and the performance of the battery 100 is guaranteed. 【0327】 Selectively, when 0.01 ≤ D / W ≤ 0.1, the fluid can be a solid-liquid phase change material or a liquid working medium, and the outer layer of the partition plate 33 can be made of a film-like material with a skeletal structure filled inside for reinforcement, which can be used when the strength requirement is low or the compression performance requirement of the partition plate 33 is high. 【0328】 Selectively, if the range is 0.1 ≤ D / W ≤ 1, means of convective heat exchange of a fluid working medium or gas-liquid phase change cooling may be used inside the partition plate 33, and the heat exchange performance of the partition plate 33 is guaranteed by using a liquid working medium as the heat exchange medium. 【0329】 Selectively, if 1 ≤ D / W ≤ 25, a means of gas-liquid phase change cooling may be used for the partition plate 33. By adjusting the internal gap, the overall pressure is increased, ensuring that the working medium exists in liquid form inside the partition plate 33. This prevents the phenomenon of two states, gas and liquid, coexisting due to pressure loss, and provides heat exchange performance. At the same time, the thickness D of the heat conduction plate 33 is sufficiently thick to prevent the partition plate 33 from rupturing due to an increase in the vaporization pressure of the internal working medium during heating. 【0330】 Selectively, the thickness D of the heat conduction plate 333 and the dimension W of the cavity 30a satisfy 0.05 ≤ D / W ≤ 15, and further satisfy 0.1 ≤ D / W ≤ 1, thereby better balancing space, strength, and thermal management and further improving the performance of the battery 100. 【0331】 Selectively, the dimension T1 of the partition plate 33 in the first direction x is between 0.3 mm and 100 mm. 【0332】 T1 is the total thickness of the partition plate 33, i.e., T1 = 2*D + W. If T1 is too large, it will occupy an excessive amount of space, and if T1 is too small, the strength will decrease too much or the cavity 30a will become too narrow, affecting the thermal management performance. Therefore, when the total thickness T1 of the partition plate 33 is between 0.3 mm and 100 mm, it is possible to balance space, strength, and thermal management, and the performance of the battery 100 is guaranteed. 【0333】 Selectively, the thickness D of the thermal conductive plate 333 is between 0.1 mm and 25 mm. 【0334】 If the thickness D of the heat conductive plate 333 is too large, it occupies an excessive amount of space, and the partition plate 33 cannot immediately release the necessary expansion space for the battery cell 20. If D is too small, the strength becomes too low. Therefore, when the thickness D of the heat conductive plate 333 is between 0.1 mm and 25 mm, the requirements for space, strength, and expansion of the battery cell 20 can be balanced, and the performance of the battery 100 is guaranteed. 【0335】 Selectively, the dimension W of the cavity 30a in the first direction is between 0.1 mm and 50 mm. 【0336】 Specifically, the dimension W of the cavity 30a must be at least larger than the particle size of any foreign matter that may appear inside in order to avoid blockage during use. If the dimension W of the cavity 30a is too small, the fluid flow resistance within the cavity 30a will increase, and the heat exchange performance will deteriorate. Therefore, the dimension W of the cavity 30a should be 0.1 mm or larger. If the dimension W of the cavity 30a is too large, it will occupy excessive space or lack sufficient strength. Thus, when the dimension W of the cavity 30a is between 0.1 mm and 50 mm, it is possible to balance space, strength, and thermal management performance, and the performance of the battery 100 can be guaranteed. 【0337】 Selectively, the dimension T1 of the partition plate 33 in the first direction x and the area S3 of the first wall 201 are 0.03 mm². -1 ≤T1 / S3*1000 ≤2mm -1 It satisfies the condition. 【0338】 When T1 and S3 satisfy the above conditions, the requirements for heat exchange performance and dimensional space of the battery cell 20 can be met. Specifically, if the area S3 of the first wall 201 of the battery cell 20 is large, the cooling area is large, and the heat transfer resistance from the partition plate 33 to the surface of the battery cell 20 can be reduced. If the total thickness T1 of the partition plate 33 is large, the strength can be improved. T1 / S3 * 1000 = 0.03 mm -1If T1 / S3*1000 is less than 2mm, the area S3 of the first wall 201 of the battery cell 20 is sufficiently large, but the partition plate 33 is too thin, lacking strength, and the partition plate 33 may break or crack during use. -1 If the ratio is larger, the partition plate 33 may be sufficiently thick, but the area S3 of the first wall 201 of the battery cell 20 may be too small, resulting in insufficient cooling surface for the partition plate 33 to provide to the battery cell 20, and thus there is a risk that the heat dissipation requirements of the battery cell 20 will not be met. Therefore, the total thickness T1 of the partition plate 33 and the area S3 of the first wall 201 should be 0.03 mm -1 ≤T1 / S3*1000 ≤2mm -1 If the requirements are met, the strength and thermal management performance are essential. The matter It can be used simultaneously and guarantees 100% battery performance. 【0339】 Selectively, the partition plate 33 further includes reinforcing ribs 334, which are provided between a pair of heat conductive plates 333, and the thickness X of the reinforcing ribs 334 is (-0.0005*F+0.4738) mm or more, where F is the tensile strength of the material of the reinforcing ribs 334, in units of MPa. In other words, the thickness X of the reinforcing ribs 334 is at least (-0.0005*F+0.4738) mm. 【0340】 The thickness X of the reinforcing rib 334 is related to the tensile strength of the material. Based on the above relationship, in order to satisfy the force requirements of the partition plate 33, a material with higher strength may be selected, and the thickness X of the internal reinforcing rib 334 may be made thinner, thereby saving space and improving energy density. Selectively, the thickness X of the reinforcing rib 334 may be 0.2 mm to 1 mm. 【0341】 Using the battery cell 20 and partition plate 33 shown in Figure 45, simulation tests were conducted to determine the heating rate and the deformation force of the partition plate 33. The test results are shown in Table 10. In Table 10, L is the dimension of the battery cell 20 in the second direction y, T3 is the dimension of the battery cell 20 in the first direction x, and H2 is the dimension of the first wall 201 of the battery cell 20 in the third direction z, where the third direction is perpendicular to the first direction x and the second direction y. 【0342】 [Table 10] 【0343】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 47, 48, 50, and 51, the partition plate 33 is provided with a medium inlet 3412 and a medium outlet 3422, and the cavity 30a communicates with the medium inlet 3412 and the medium outlet 3422, thereby allowing the cavity 30a to accommodate a heat exchange medium for regulating the temperature of the battery cell 20. Inside the partition plate 33, there is a cavity 30b that is blocked from both the medium inlet 3412 and the medium outlet 3422, and the cavity 30b can prevent the inflow of the heat exchange medium, thereby regulating the temperature of the battery cell 20 and reducing the weight of the partition plate 33. This enables weight reduction of the partition plate 33 and mitigates the phenomenon of the heat exchange medium flowing into the cavity 30b during use, which increases the weight of the partition plate 33. Thus, the weight of the battery 100 having such a partition plate 33 can be effectively reduced, which is advantageous for improving the energy density of the battery 100 and improving the performance of the battery 100. 【0344】 For example, the medium inlet 3412 and medium outlet 3422 are installed at opposite ends of the partition plate 33, and both the cavity 30a and the cavity 30b are installed inside the partition plate 33. The cavity 30a communicates with the medium inlet 3412 and the medium outlet 3422, that is, both ends of the cavity 30a communicate with the medium inlet 3412 and the medium outlet 3422, respectively, thereby allowing the fluid medium to flow into or out of the cavity 30a. The cavity 30b is blocked from both the medium inlet 3412 and the medium outlet 3422, that is, no communication relationship is formed between the cavity 30b and the medium inlet 3412 and the medium outlet 3422, and the fluid medium cannot flow into the cavity 30b. 【0345】 The cavity 30b installed inside the partition plate 33 may be one or multiple, and similarly, the cavity 30a installed inside the partition plate 33 may be one or multiple. If there are multiple cavities 30a, each cavity 30a is in communication with the medium inlet 3412 and the medium outlet 3422, that is, both ends of the multiple cavities 30a are in communication with each other, the medium inlet 3412 and the medium outlet 3422. Exemplarily, in the embodiment of the present application, both the cavity 30a and cavity 30b installed inside the partition plate 33 are multiple. 【0346】 In some embodiments, referring to Figures 47 and 48, the partition plate 33 includes a main plate 331 (also referred to as the main body), a first bath member 341, and a second bath member 342. A cavity 30a and a void 30b are installed in the main plate 331. Along the length direction of the main plate 331 (i.e., the second direction y), the first bath member 341 and the second bath member 342 are installed at opposite ends of the main plate 331, and a medium inlet 3412 and a medium outlet 3422 are installed in the first bath member 341 and the second bath member 342, respectively. 【0347】 Both cavities 30a and 30b are installed inside the main plate 331. Exemplarily, in Figure 48, both cavities 30a and 30b extend along the length of the main plate 331, and both ends of cavity 30a pass through both ends of the main plate 331, thereby enabling cavity 30a to communicate with the medium inlet 3412 of the first bus member 341 and the medium outlet 3422 of the second bus member 342. 【0348】 Furthermore, the main body plate 331, the first bus member 341, and the second bus member 342 may be an integrated structure or separate structures. If the main body plate 331, the first bus member 341, and the second bus member 342 are an integrated structure, the main body plate 331, the first bus member 341, and the second bus member 342 may be manufactured by casting or injection molding processes. 1、If the first bus member 341 and the second bus member 342 have separate structures, the first bus member 341 and the second bus member 342 may be connected to both ends of the main plate 331 using methods such as bolting, fastening, or bonding. 【0349】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 48 to 51, a passage 3151 is installed inside the main plate 331, and the passage 3151 penetrates both ends of the main plate 331 in the longitudinal direction. The partition plate 33 further includes a closing member 318, which is connected to the main plate 331, and the closing member 318 closes both ends of the passage 3151, forming a cavity 30b. 【0350】 Along the length of the main plate 331, closing members 318 are installed at both ends of the passage 3151 that penetrate the main plate 331. By closing both ends of the passage 3151 with the closing members 318, a sealed cavity 30b can be formed, thereby ensuring that both the cavity 30b and the medium inlet 3412 and medium outlet 3422 are blocked. 【0351】 For example, the closing member 318 may be a metal sheet, a rubber stopper, or a silica gel stopper. In the actual manufacturing process, different closing members 318 can be used depending on the size of the passage 3151. For example, if the passage 3151 is large, a metal sheet may be welded to one end of the main plate 331 to close the passage 3151, or a rubber stopper or silicone stopper may be used to close the passage 3151. If the passage 3151 is small, welding a metal piece is difficult, so a rubber stopper or silicone stopper can be locked inside the passage 3151 to achieve the function of closing the passage 3151. 【0352】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 48 to 51, the blocking member 318 is detachably connected to the main plate 331. By connecting the blocking member 318 to the main plate 331 in a detachable manner, the blocking member 318 can be quickly removed and replaced, on the one hand, different passages 3151 can be blocked according to actual needs during use, thus meeting different needs in use, and on the other hand, the blocking member 318 can be maintained and replaced, which is advantageous in extending the service life of the partition plate 33. 【0353】 For example, the closing member 318 is attached to one end of the passage 3151 to close the passage 3151. Of course, in other embodiments, the closing member 318 may be detachably connected to the main plate 331 using methods such as bolting or fastening. 【0354】 In Figures 48 to 51, the cavity 30b is a sealed structure formed by the closing member 318 closing the passage 3151 inside the main plate 331. In other embodiments, as shown in Figure 50, the cavity 30b may be a structure formed by integrally molding the main plate 331. In other words, the cavity 30b is a structure in which the main plate 331 has a cavity inside by a process such as casting or pressing, meaning that the closing member 318 and the main plate 331 are an integral structure. 【0355】 A passage 3151 is formed inside the main plate 331, passing through both ends of the main plate 331 in the longitudinal direction of the main plate 331, and a closing member 318 is installed on the main plate 331. The closing member 318 closes both ends of the passage 3151, thereby forming a cavity 30b that is blocked from both the medium inlet 3412 and the medium outlet 3422. The structure is simple, easy to manufacture and process, and different passages 3151 can be closed according to actual needs, thereby expanding the range of application of the partition plate 33. 【0356】 In some embodiments, a first chamber communicating with a medium inlet 3412 is formed inside the first bus member 341, a second chamber communicating with a medium outlet 3422 is formed inside the second bus member 342, and the flow path 30c penetrates both ends of the main body plate 331 in the longitudinal direction and communicates with the first and second chambers. 【0357】 When a first chamber communicating with a medium inlet 3412 is formed inside the first bus member 341, that is, when a first chamber is formed inside the first bus member 341 and the medium inlet 3412 penetrates the chamber wall of the first chamber, and the first bus member 341 is attached to one end of the main body plate 331, the flow path 30c penetrating one end of the main body plate 331 can communicate with the first chamber inside the first bus member 341, thereby enabling communication between the multiple flow paths 30c and the medium inlet 3412. 【0358】 Similarly, when a second chamber communicating with a medium outlet 3422 is formed inside the second bus member 342, that is, when a second chamber is formed inside the second bus member 342 and the medium outlet 3422 penetrates the chamber wall of the second chamber, and the second bus member 342 is attached to one end of the main body plate 331, the flow path 30c penetrating one end of the main body plate 331 can communicate with the second chamber inside the second bus member 342, thereby enabling all of the multiple flow paths 30c to communicate with each other and with the second chamber of the second bus member 342, and enabling all of the multiple flow paths 30c to communicate with the medium outlet 3422. 【0359】 Furthermore, the cavity 30b does not communicate with the first chamber of the first bus member 341 or the second chamber of the second bus member 342, thereby blocking the cavity 30b from both the medium inlet 3412 and the medium outlet 3422. 【0360】 The first bus member 341 is equipped with a first chamber that communicates with the flow path 30c, and the second bus member 342 is equipped with a second chamber that communicates with the medium outlet 3422. The flow path 30c penetrates both ends of the main plate 331 and can communicate with both the first and second chambers, enabling communication between the flow path 30c and both the medium inlet 3412 and the medium outlet 3422. This allows for the simultaneous injection of fluid medium into multiple flow paths 30c via the medium inlet 3412 and the medium outlet 3422 during use, thereby improving usage efficiency. 【0361】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 47 and 48, both the cavity 30b and the cavity 30a extend along the longitudinal direction of the main plate 331 and are arranged along the width direction (i.e., the third direction z) of the main plate 331. 【0362】 A cavity 30a and multiple cavities 30b are installed in the partition plate 33, the cavity 30a corresponds to multiple flow paths 30c, both the cavities 30b and flow paths 30c extend along the length direction of the main plate 331, and both the multiple cavities 30b and multiple flow paths 30c are arranged along the width direction of the main plate 331. There may be multiple arrangement methods for the multiple cavities 30b and multiple flow paths 30c. For example, the cavities 30b and flow paths 30c may be arranged alternately, the multiple cavities 30b may be located on one side of the multiple flow paths 30c along the width direction of the main plate 331, or the multiple cavities 30b may be installed in the middle of the main plate 331 along the width direction of the main plate 331, with flow paths 30c installed on both sides of the multiple cavities 30b. As an example, in Figure 48, two flow channels 30c are installed in the middle of the main body plate 331 along the width direction of the main body plate 331, three cavities 30b are installed on each side of the two flow channels 30c, and one flow channel 30c is installed at each end of the main body plate 331. 【0363】 Both the cavity 30b and the flow path 30c extend along the length direction of the main plate 331 and are arranged along the width direction of the main plate 331, making it easy to process and manufacture the cavity 30b and the flow path 30c, and easy to optimize the arrangement position of the flow path 30c, which helps to improve the ability of the partition plate 33 to regulate the temperature of the battery 100. 【0364】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 48 and 49, a flow path 30c is installed in the middle of the main body plate 331 along the width direction of the main body plate 331. 【0365】 If a flow channel 30c is installed in the middle of the main plate 331, and there is only one flow channel 30c, the flow channel 30c is installed in the middle of the main plate 331, and if there are multiple flow channels 30c, at least some of the flow channels 30c are located in the middle of the main plate 331 in the width direction. Exemplarily, in Figures 48 and 49, the main plate 33 Two flow channels 30c are installed in the middle of the main plate 331 along the width direction of 1, and of course, in other embodiments, for example, one, three, or four flow channels 30c may be installed in the middle of the main plate 331 along the width direction of the main plate 331. 【0366】 The main plate 331 has a flow path 30c installed in the middle in its width direction, which allows for heat exchange to occur in areas where heat is concentrated inside the battery 100, thus improving the thermal management performance of the partition plate 33 relative to the battery 100. 【0367】 In some embodiments, refer to Figure 51, which is a cross-sectional view of the main plate 331 of a partition plate 33 according to another embodiment of the present application. Multiple flow channels 30c and multiple cavities 30b are installed in the partition plate 33, and the cavities 30b and flow channels 30c are arranged alternately along the width direction of the main plate 331. 【0368】 The cavities 30b and flow channels 30c are arranged alternately, that is, the cavities 30b and flow channels 30c are arranged alternately in sequence along the width direction of the main plate 331, that is, along the width direction of the main plate 331, a cavity 30b is installed between two adjacent flow channels 30c, and a flow channel 30c is installed between two adjacent cavities 30b. 【0369】 The cavities 30b and flow channels 30c are arranged alternately along the width direction of the main plate 331. In other words, there are multiple cavities 30b and flow channels 30c, and they are arranged alternately with respect to each other. This ensures that the flow channels 30c are distributed along the width direction of the main plate 331, effectively reducing the phenomenon of the flow channels 30c being concentrated and causing an imbalance in the heat exchange capacity of the partition plate 33, thereby improving the performance of the partition plate 33. 【0370】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 49, along the thickness direction (i.e., first direction x) of the main body plate 331, the main body plate 331 has two opposing sides 3312, the area of ​​one side 3312 is S5, the total area of ​​the projection of the flow path 30c on the side 3312 is S6, and S6 / S5 ≥ 0.2. 【0371】 The area of ​​one side surface 3312 is S5, the total area of ​​the projection of the flow channels 30c on the side surface 3312 is S6, and S6 / S5 ≥ 0.2, meaning that the total area occupied by the multiple flow channels 30c on the side surface 3312 of the main plate 331 is 20% or more. 【0372】 By ensuring that the area occupied by the multiple flow channels 30c on the side surface 3312 of the main plate 331 is 20% or more, the phenomenon of low heat exchange capacity due to insufficient area occupied by the flow channels 30c can be reduced, and the heat exchange performance of the partition plate 33 can be guaranteed. 【0373】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 46 and 47, the cavities 30a of multiple partition plates 33 are connected in series, i.e., the medium inlet 3412 of one partition plate 33 communicates with the medium outlet 3422 of another partition plate 33. Naturally, the flow paths 30c of multiple partition plates 33 may also be connected in parallel, i.e., the medium inlets 3412 of multiple partition plates 33 communicate with each other, and the medium outlets 3422 of multiple partition plates 33 communicate with each other. Multiple partition plates 33 are installed in the battery 100, which is advantageous in improving the thermal management capability of the partition plates 33 for the battery cells 20 and reduces safety risks due to the rise in the internal temperature of the battery 100. 【0374】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 46 and 47, the media outlet 3422 of one partition plate 33 communicates with the media inlet 3412 of another partition plate 33. 【0375】 There may be multiple structures in which the media outlet 3422 of one partition plate 33 communicates with the media inlet 3412 of another partition plate 33. The media outlet 3422 of one partition plate 33 may be connected to the media inlet 3412 of another partition plate 33, or they may be connected via other components, such as connecting pipes, thereby realizing a series connection structure of multiple partition plates 33. 【0376】 By connecting the media outlet 3422 of one of the multiple partition plates 33 with the media inlet 3412 of another partition plate 33, a series connection structure of multiple partition plates 33 is realized, making assembly and processing easy, and facilitating the injection of fluid media into the flow paths 30c of the multiple partition plates 33 during use. 【0377】 In some embodiments, multiple flow channels 30c are installed in the partition plate 33, and along the flow direction of the fluid medium in the flow channels 30c of the multiple partition plates 33, the number of flow channels 30c of the downstream partition plate 33 is greater than the number of flow channels 30c of the upstream partition plate 33 among two adjacent partition plates 33. 【0378】 Here, the direction of fluid flow in the flow channels 30c of the multiple partition plates 33 is aligned with the direction in which the fluid flows through the flow channels 30c of the multiple partition plates 33. Of two adjacent partition plates 33, the number of flow channels 30c of the downstream partition plate 33 is greater than the number of flow channels 30c of the upstream partition plate 33. In other words, in the direction of fluid flow, of two adjacent partition plates 33, the partition plate 33 through which the fluid passes first is the upstream partition plate 33, and the partition plate 33 through which the fluid passes later is the downstream partition plate 33. That is, the fluid flows from the flow channel 30c of the upstream partition plate 33 to the flow channel 30c of the downstream partition plate 33. 【0379】 By increasing the number of flow channels 30c in the downstream partition plate 33 to more than the number of flow channels 30c in the upstream partition plate 33, it is advantageous to improve the heat exchange capacity of the downstream partition plate 33. This ensures that the heat exchange capacities of the multiple partition plates 33 are balanced with each other, improving the overall thermal management capability and effectively mitigating the phenomenon of localized temperature rises occurring inside the battery 100. 【0380】 In some embodiments, the media inlets 3412 of multiple partition plates 33 are in communication with each other, and the media outlets 3422 of multiple partition plates 33 are in communication with each other. 【0381】 Here, the media inlets 3412 of the multiple partition plates 33 may be directly connected, or they may be connected via other components, such as connecting pipes, and the same applies to the media outlets 3422 of the multiple partition plates 33, thereby realizing a parallel connection structure of the multiple partition plates 33. 【0382】 By having the medium inlets 3412 of multiple partition plates 33 communicate with each other, and the medium outlets 3422 of multiple partition plates 33 communicate with each other, thereby realizing a parallel connection structure of multiple partition plates 33, it is possible to simultaneously inject the fluid medium into the flow paths 30c of multiple partition plates 33, and on the other hand, it is possible to effectively ensure a balance in the heat exchange capacity of each partition plate 33, thereby effectively mitigating the phenomenon of localized temperature rise occurring inside the battery 100. 【0383】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 24, a partition member 335 is provided within the cavity 30a, and the partition member 335 is used to partition the cavity 30a and form at least two flow channels 30c, making it easier to control the arrangement of the fluid medium inside the cavity as needed, thereby rationally adjusting the temperature of the battery cell 20. 【0384】 For example, multiple flow channels 30c may be arranged sequentially along a third direction z, each flow channel 30c extending along a second direction y, and the third direction being perpendicular to the second direction and parallel to the first wall 201. 【0385】 Each flow path 30c may be independent of each other or may be in communication with each other. The fluid medium may be contained in only some of the multiple flow paths 30c, or all of the flow paths 30c may contain the fluid medium. Therefore, the partition member 335 partitions the inside of the partition plate 33 to form multiple flow paths 30c, making it easy to control the arrangement of the fluid medium inside the partition plate 33 according to actual needs, thereby rationally adjusting the temperature of the battery cell 20. 【0386】 Selectively, the partition member 335 is integrally molded with the partition plate 33, for example, by an integral molding process such as injection or extrusion. The partition member 335 and the partition plate 33 may be installed separately and then connected to the inner wall of the partition plate by methods such as welding, bonding, or fastening. 【0387】 Naturally, only one flow path 30c may be formed within the cavity 30a. 【0388】 In some embodiments, the partition plate 33 includes a main plate 331, a cavity 30a is installed inside the main plate 331, the cavity 30a may have one or more flow paths 30c, and the insulating layer 32 includes a first insulating layer 32a, at least a portion of the first insulating layer 32a is provided between the main plate 331 and the battery cell 20. 【0389】 Furthermore, referring to Figures 20 and 21, the partition plate 33 further includes a confluence pipe 332, the confluence pipe 332 includes a confluence chamber 332a (shown in Figures 26 and 28), the confluence chamber 332a communicates with a plurality of flow paths 30c, the insulating layer 32 includes a second insulating layer 32b, at least a portion of the second insulating layer 32b is installed between the confluence pipe 332 and the battery cell 20, thereby insulating and isolating the battery cell 20 and the confluence pipe 332. 【0390】 The phrase "the second insulating layer 32b covers at least a portion of the outer surface of the confluence pipe 332" can be understood as meaning that a portion of the second insulating layer 32b covers at least a portion of the outer surface of the confluence pipe 332, thereby insulating and isolating the battery cell 20 from the confluence pipe 332. 【0391】 Here, the two junction pipes 332 at both ends of the partition plate 33 may be a first bus member 341 and a second bus member 342, respectively. 【0392】 Only a portion of the second insulating layer 32b may cover at least a portion of the outer surface of the first bus member 341, or only a portion of the second insulating layer 32b may cover at least a portion of the outer surface of the second bus member 342, or a portion of the second insulating layer 32b may cover at least a portion of the outer surface of the first bus member 341 and a portion of the second insulating layer 32b may cover at least a portion of the outer surface of the second bus member 342. 【0393】 If a portion of the second insulating layer 32b covers at least a portion of the surface of the first bus member 341, the portion of the second insulating layer 32b may cover only a portion of the outer surface of the first bus member 341. For example, if a portion of the second insulating layer 32b covers only the outer circumferential surface of the first bus member 341, the two end faces of the first bus member 341 along the third direction z will not be covered by the insulating layer 32. 32 Compared to the case where only the main plate 331 is covered, the creepage distance between the battery cell 20 and the portion of the first bus member 341 not covered by the insulating layer 32 can be increased, reducing the risk of the battery 100 short-circuiting, or a portion of the insulating layer 32 covers the entire outer surface of the first bus member 341. 【0394】 In another embodiment, the insulating layer 32 does not need to cover the outer surface of the first bus member 341. The first bus member 341 is extended along the third direction z, and the second bus member 342 is extended along the third direction z. 【0395】 If a portion of the second insulating layer 32b covers at least a portion of the surface of the second bus member 342, the portion of the insulating layer 32 may cover only a portion of the outer surface of the second bus member 342. For example, if a portion of the insulating layer 32 covers only the outer circumferential surface of the second bus member 342, and the two end faces of the second bus member 342 along the third direction z are not covered by the second insulating layer 32b, the creepage distance between the battery cell 20 and the portion of the second bus member 342 not covered by the insulating layer 40 can be increased compared to the case where the insulating layer 40 covers only the main plate 331, thereby reducing the risk of the battery 100 short-circuiting. Alternatively, a portion of the second insulating layer 32b may cover the entire outer surface of the second bus member 342. 【0396】 In another embodiment, as shown in Figures 27 and 29, the insulating layer 32 does not need to cover the outer surface of the second bus member 342. 【0397】 Therefore, the second insulating layer 32b covers at least a portion of the outer surface of the confluence pipe 332, and may completely cover the outer surface of the confluence pipe 332, or it may cover only one side of the confluence pipe 332 facing the battery cell 20, and the second insulating layer 32b can be used to insulate and isolate the confluence pipe 332 and the battery cell 20, thereby reducing the risk of short-circuiting the battery and improving the safety performance of the battery. 【0398】 In this embodiment, the confluence pipe 332 may be located on one side of the battery cell 20, and since the confluence pipe 332 similarly contains a fluid medium, the confluence pipe 332 can similarly be used to perform heat exchange of the battery cell 20, the second insulating layer 32b covers at least a portion of the outer surface of the confluence pipe 332, the second insulating layer 32b may completely cover the outer surface of the confluence pipe 332, or it may cover only one side of the confluence pipe 332 facing the battery cell 20, the second insulating layer 32b can be used to insulate and isolate the confluence pipe 332 and the battery cell 20, thereby reducing the risk of short-circuiting the battery and improving the safety performance of the battery. 【0399】 Referring to Figures 20, 21, 25, and 26, in this embodiment, the two merging pipes 332 are a first bath member 341 and a second bath member 342, respectively. A medium inlet 3412 is installed in the first bath member 341, and a first merging chamber 3411 communicating with the medium inlet 3412 is formed inside the first bath member 341. A medium outlet 3422 is installed in the second bath member 342, and a second merging chamber 3421 communicating with the medium outlet 3422 is formed inside the second bath member 342. Both the first merging chamber 3411 and the second merging chamber 3421 communicate with each flow path 30c. 【0400】 A medium inlet 3412 is installed in the first bus member 341, and a medium outlet 3422 is installed in the second bus member 342. The first confluence chamber 3411 of the first bus member 341 and the second confluence chamber 3421 of the second bus member 342 are both in communication with each flow path 30c. The fluid medium flows from the medium inlet 3412 into the first confluence chamber 3411, and is then distributed to each flow path 30c via the first confluence chamber 3411. The fluid medium in each flow path 30c flows along the second direction Y to the second bus member 342 and collects in the second confluence chamber 3421, and is discharged from the medium outlet 3422. 【0401】 In another embodiment, a merging pipe 332 does not need to be installed on the partition plate 33. Instead, one medium inlet 3412 and one medium outlet 3422 are installed correspondingly in each flow path 30c, and the fluid medium flows into each flow path 30c from its respective medium inlet 3412 and is discharged from each flow path 30c. This installation method makes it easy to independently control the total amount and flow velocity of the fluid medium in each flow path 30c. 【0402】 In this embodiment, the installation of the first bus member 341 helps to distribute the fluid medium to each flow path 30c, which is advantageous for uniform temperature control of the battery cell 20, and the installation of the second bus member 342 helps to rapidly discharge the fluid medium, improving heat exchange efficiency. 【0403】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 25 and 26, the thickness of the second insulating layer 32b is h3, the wall thickness of the main plate 331 is h2, and h3 / h2 ≥ 0.00625. As the creepage distance between the junction pipe 332 and the battery cell 20 increases, safety is enhanced, and the risk of electrical contact between the two is reduced in various usage scenarios. 【0404】 h3 / h2 can also be 0.01, 0.015, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.35, 0.4, etc. 【0405】 In some embodiments, the insulating layer 32 has a uniform thickness structure, i.e., the thickness h1 of the first insulating layer 30a is equal to the thickness h3 of the second insulating layer 30b, so h1 = h3. In another embodiment, the thickness of the first insulating layer is different from the thickness of the second insulating layer. 【0406】 In some embodiments, referring to Figures 20, 21, and 25-29, a first conduit 343 is provided at the medium inlet 3412, and a second conduit 344 is provided at the medium outlet 3422. The insulating layer 32 further includes a third insulating layer 32c. A portion of the third insulating layer 32c covers the outer surface of the first conduit 343, thereby insulating and isolating the battery cell 20 from the first conduit 343, and / or a portion of the third insulating layer 32c covers the outer surface of the second conduit 344, thereby insulating and isolating the battery cell 20 from the second conduit 344. 【0407】 The first guide pipe 343 may be installed only at the medium inlet 3412, or the second guide pipe 344 may be installed only at the medium outlet 3422, or the first guide pipe 343 may be installed at the medium inlet 3412 and the second guide pipe 344 may be installed at the medium outlet 3422. Figures 20 and 21 show the case in which the first guide pipe 343 is installed at the medium inlet 3412 and the second guide pipe 344 is installed at the medium outlet 3422. 【0408】 As shown in Figures 20, 21, 25-29, when a portion of the insulating layer 32 covers the outer surface of the first guide pipe 343, the insulating layer 32 may cover only a portion of the outer surface of the first guide pipe 343. For example, a portion of the insulating layer 32 may cover only the outer circumferential surface of the first guide pipe 343, leaving the two end faces along the axial direction of the first guide pipe 343 uncovered. Compared to the case where the insulating layer 32 covers only the main plate 331, the first bus member 341, and the second bus member 342, this increases the creepage distance between the battery cell 20 and the portion of the first guide pipe 343 not covered by the insulating layer 32, thereby reducing the risk of the battery 100 short-circuiting. Alternatively, a portion of the insulating layer 32 may cover the entire outer surface of the first guide pipe 343. In another embodiment, as shown in Figure 25, the insulating layer 32 may not cover the outer surface of the first guide pipe 343. 【0409】 As shown in Figures 20, 21, 25-29, when a portion of the insulating layer 32 covers the outer surface of the second guide pipe 344, the insulating layer 32 may cover only a portion of the outer surface of the second guide pipe 344. For example, the insulating layer 32 may cover only the outer circumferential surface of the second guide pipe 344, leaving the two end faces along the axial direction of the second guide pipe 344 uncovered. Compared to the case where the insulating layer 32 covers only the main plate 331, the first bus member 341, and the second bus member 342, this increases the creepage distance between the battery cell 20 and the portion of the second guide pipe 344 not covered by the insulating layer 32, thereby reducing the risk of the battery 100 short-circuiting. Alternatively, the insulating layer 32 may cover the entire outer surface of the second guide pipe 344. 【0410】 In another embodiment, the insulating layer 32 does not need to cover the outer surface of the second guide pipe 344. 【0411】 As shown in Figures 20, 21, and 25-29, the first guide pipe 343 and the second guide pipe 344 are arranged coaxially, and the axial direction of both the first guide pipe 343 and the second guide pipe 344 are parallel to the second direction y. 【0412】 As shown in Figures 20, 21, and 25-29, one end of the first guide pipe 343 is inserted into the medium inlet 3412 of the first bus member 341 and welded to the first bus member 341. One end of the second guide pipe 344 is inserted into the medium outlet 3422 of the second bus member 342 and welded to the second bus member 342. 【0413】 A first stopper portion 361 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the first guide pipe 343, and the first stopper portion 361 protrudes from the outer circumferential surface of the first guide pipe 343 along the radial direction of the first guide pipe 343, and the first stopper portion 361 is used to limit the distance to which the first guide pipe 343 is inserted into the interior of the first bath member 341. After the first guide pipe 343 is inserted into the medium inlet 3412 of the first bath member 341, the first stopper portion 361 abuts against the outer wall of the first bath member 341. The first guide pipe 343 may also be welded to the first bath member 341 via the first stopper portion 361. 【0414】 A second stopper portion 371 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the second guide pipe 344, and the second stopper portion 371 protrudes from the outer circumferential surface of the second guide pipe 344 along the radial direction of the second guide pipe 344. The second stopper portion 371 is used to limit the distance to which the second guide pipe 344 is inserted into the interior of the second bath member 342. After the second guide pipe 344 is inserted into the medium outlet of the second bath member 342, the second stopper portion 371 abuts against the outer wall of the second bath member 342. The second guide pipe 344 may also be welded to the second bath member 342 via the second stopper portion 371. 【0415】 In another embodiment, the first guide pipe 343 does not need to be installed at the medium inlet 3412, and the second guide pipe 344 does not need to be installed at the medium outlet 3422. 【0416】 By installing the first guide pipe 343, the fluid medium can more easily flow into the first confluence chamber 3411 of the first bus member 341, and by installing the second guide pipe 344, the fluid medium can more easily be discharged from the second confluence chamber 3421 of the second bus member 342. A portion of the insulating layer 32 covers the outer surface of the first guide pipe 343, insulating and isolating the first guide pipe 343 from the battery cell 20, and / or a portion of the insulating layer 32 covers the outer surface of the second guide pipe 344, insulating and isolating the second guide pipe 344 from the battery cell 20, thereby reducing the risk of short-circuiting the battery 100 and improving the safety performance of the battery 100. 【0417】 In some embodiments, along the second direction y, the first bus member 341 and the second bus member 342 are located on either side of the battery cell 20, and the third direction z is perpendicular to the second direction y. 【0418】 The first bus member 341 and the second bus member 342 are located on both sides of the battery cell 20, and the arrangement direction of the first bus member 341 and the second bus member 342 is offset from the extension direction of the tabs of the battery cell 20. As a result, both the first bus member 341 and the second bus member 342 are installed offset from the electrical energy output poles of the battery cell 20, thereby preventing the first bus member 341 and the second bus member 342 from affecting the charging and discharging of the battery cell 20, or preventing the first bus member 341 and the second bus member 342 from affecting the series connection, parallel connection, or series-parallel connection between each battery cell 20. 【0419】 As shown in Figure 20, the main body plate 331 protrudes from both ends of the battery cell 20 along the second direction y, along the second direction y. The first bus member 341 and the second bus member 342 are connected to both ends of the main body plate 331 along the second direction y, respectively. Multiple battery cells 20 can be stacked and arranged facing each other along the second direction y, without interfering with the first bus member 341 and the second bus member 342, allowing for a more compact arrangement of multiple battery cells 20, which is advantageous in reducing the volume of the battery 100. 【0420】 In some embodiments, the battery cell 20 includes a battery case 21 and an insulating layer (not shown) connected to the outer surface of the battery case 21, the insulating layer being used to insulate and isolate the reinforcing element 30 from the battery case 21. 【0421】 The insulating layer may be a blue film covering the outer surface of the battery case 21, or an insulating coating layer coated on the outer surface of the battery case 21. The insulating layer is connected to the surface of the battery case 21 of the battery cell 20, and the insulating layer on the battery cell 20 and the insulating layer 32 on the reinforcing element 30 together insulate and isolate the battery cell 20 and the reinforcing element 30, further reducing the risk of the battery 100 short-circuiting. 【0422】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 52 to 64, the reinforcing element 30 includes a first heat conduction plate 3331, a second heat conduction plate 3332, and a partition member 335 that are stacked and installed, with the partition member 335 installed between the first heat conduction plate 3331 and the second heat conduction plate 3332, the first heat conduction plate 3331 and the partition member 335 both defining a first flow path 34, and the second heat conduction plate 3332 and the partition member 335 both defining a second flow path 35. 【0423】 When the reinforcing element 30 is installed between two adjacent battery cells 20, the first channel 34 and the second channel 35 correspond to the two adjacent battery cells 20, respectively, and the fluid medium in the first channel 34 and the fluid medium in the second channel 35 can exchange heat with the two battery cells 20, reducing the temperature difference between the two adjacent battery cells 20, so that the expansion of one battery cell 20 does not press against the channel corresponding to the other battery cell 20 in a way that reduces the dimensions of the channel, or has little effect on the dimensions of the channel corresponding to the other battery cell 20, thereby ensuring the heat exchange effect of the channel corresponding to the other battery cell 20 and ensuring the safety performance of the battery 100 using the reinforcing element 30. 【0424】 Furthermore, the first channel 34 and the second channel 35 each correspond to two adjacent battery cells 20, and each can independently withstand the deformation caused by the expansion of the corresponding battery cell 20. Therefore, the expansion of one battery cell 20 is less likely to interfere with the expansion of the other battery cell 20, or does not affect the expansion of the other battery cell 20, which is advantageous for releasing the expansion of two adjacent battery cells 20. This reduces the occurrence of premature depressurization or serious thermal runaway accidents of the battery cells 20 due to the expansion of two adjacent battery cells 20 interfering with each other, thereby improving the safety performance of the battery 100. 【0425】 Both the first channel 34 and the second channel 35 are used to contain a fluid medium, and the fluid medium can flow through the first channel 34 and the second channel 35. Here, the first channel 34 and the second channel 35 may be independent of each other, and the fluid medium in the first channel 34 does not flow into the second channel 35, and the fluid medium in the second channel 35 does not flow into the first channel 34. 【0426】 Exemplary, along the extension direction of the first channel 34, the first channel 34 has a first inlet and a first outlet located at both ends of the first channel 34, and the fluid medium flows into the first channel 34 from the first inlet and is discharged through the first channel 34 from the first outlet; along the extension direction of the second channel 35, the second channel 35 has a second inlet and a second outlet located at both ends of the second channel 35, and the fluid medium flows into the second channel 35 from the second inlet and is discharged through the second channel 35 from the second outlet. 【0427】 The first channel 34 and the second channel 35 may be in communication with each other, and the fluid medium in the first channel 34 can flow into the second channel 35, or the fluid medium in the second channel 35 can flow into the first channel 34. 【0428】 In an embodiment with one battery cell 20, the reinforcing element 30 is installed on one side of the battery cell 20 and is located between the battery cell 20 and the inner wall of the housing 10. The first flow path 34 is installed closer to the battery cell 20 than the second flow path 35, and the second flow path 35 is installed closer to the inner wall of the housing 10 than the first flow path 34. 【0429】 In embodiments where there are multiple battery cells 20, the multiple battery cells 20 are stacked and arranged along a certain direction (the stacking direction of the first heat conduction plate 3331, the second heat conduction plate 3332, and the partition member 335, the first direction x). 【0430】 As shown in Figures 53 and 54, a reinforcing element 30 may be installed between two adjacent battery cells 20. For the sake of explanation, the two adjacent battery cells 20 are defined as the first battery cell 21 and the second battery cell 22, respectively. The orientation of the first channel 34 and the second channel 35 is the same as the stacking direction of the first battery cell 21 and the second battery cell 22, and the orientation of the first channel 34 and the second channel 35 is the same as the stacking direction of the first heat conduction plate 3331, the second heat conduction plate 3332 and the partition member 335. The first channel 34 is connected to the first battery cell 2 1The first heat conduction plate 3331 is installed in correspondence with the first battery cell 20, and the fluid medium in the first channel 34 is used to exchange heat with the first battery cell 21 and regulate the temperature of the first battery cell 21. The second channel 35 is installed in correspondence with the second battery cell 22, and the second heat conduction plate 3332 is used to connect to the second battery cell 22, and the fluid medium in the second channel 35 is used to exchange heat with the second battery cell 22 and regulate the temperature of the second battery cell 22. 【0431】 A thermal conduction connection refers to the ability to transfer heat between the two. For example, when the first thermal conduction plate 3331 is thermally connected to the first battery cell 20, heat transfer is possible between the first battery cell 20 and the first thermal conduction plate 3331, and heat transfer is possible between the fluid medium in the first channel 34 and the first battery cell 20 via the first thermal conduction plate 3331, thereby realizing heat exchange between the fluid medium in the first channel 34 and the first battery cell 20. When the second thermal conduction plate 3332 is thermally connected to the second battery cell 22, heat transfer is possible between the second battery cell 22 and the second thermal conduction plate 3332, and heat transfer is possible between the fluid medium in the second channel 35 and the second battery cell 22 via the second thermal conduction plate 3332, thereby realizing heat exchange between the fluid medium in the second channel 35 and the second battery cell 22. 【0432】 As shown in Figures 53 and 54, the fluid medium in the first channel 34 and the fluid medium in the second channel 35 can exchange heat with the two battery cells 20, reducing the temperature difference between the two adjacent battery cells 20. The expansion of one battery cell 20 does not press against the other battery cell 20 in a way that reduces the dimensions of the channel corresponding to the other battery cell 20, or has little effect on the dimensions of the channel corresponding to the other battery cell 20, thereby ensuring the heat exchange effect of the channel corresponding to the other battery cell 20 and guaranteeing the safety performance of the battery 100 using the reinforcing element 30. For example, if the battery cell 20 corresponding to the first flow path 34 (first battery cell 20) expands, the dimensions of the first heat conduction member, second heat conduction member and partition member of the first flow path 34 in the stacking direction (i.e., the first direction x) decrease. However, the first battery cell 21 does not affect the dimensions of the first heat conduction plate 3331, second heat conduction plate 3332 and partition member 335 of the second flow path 35 in the stacking direction, or has little effect on the dimensions of the first heat conduction plate 3331, second heat conduction plate 3332 and partition member 335 of the second flow path 35, thereby ensuring the heat exchange capacity of the second flow path 35 for the corresponding battery cell 20 (second battery cell 22). Similarly, when the battery cell 20 (second battery cell 22) corresponding to the second flow path 35 expands, the dimensions of the first heat conductive member 3331, the second heat conductive member 3332, and the partition member 335 of the second flow path 35 in the stacking direction decrease. However, the second battery cell 22 does not affect the dimensions of the first heat conductive plate 3331, the second heat conductive plate 3332, and the partition member 335 of the first flow path 34 in the stacking direction, or has little effect on the dimensions of the first heat conductive plate 3331, the second heat conductive plate 3332, and the partition member 335 of the first flow path 34 in the stacking direction, thereby ensuring the heat exchange capacity of the first flow path 34 to the corresponding battery cell 20 (second battery cell 22). 【0433】 Since the first channel 34 and the second channel 35 correspond to two adjacent battery cells 20, each can independently withstand the deformation caused by the expansion of the corresponding battery cell 20. Therefore, the expansion of one battery cell 20 is less likely to interfere with the expansion of the other battery cell 20, or will not affect the expansion of the other battery cell 20, which is advantageous for releasing the expansion of two adjacent battery cells 20. This reduces the occurrence of premature depressurization or serious thermal runaway accidents of the battery cells 20 due to the expansion of two adjacent battery cells 20 interfering with each other, further improving the safety performance of the battery 100. In addition, the fluid medium in the first channel 34 and the fluid medium in the second channel 35 can exchange heat with the two battery cells 20, reducing the temperature difference between the two adjacent battery cells 20, thereby ensuring the safety performance of the battery 100 using the reinforcing element 30. 【0434】 The number of first channels 34 may be one or more, and the number of second channels 35 may be one or more. In some embodiments, there are multiple first channels 34 and / or multiple second channels 35. 【0435】 The number of first flow channels 34 may be multiple and the number of second flow channels 35 may be one, the number of first flow channels 34 may be one and the number of second flow channels 35 may be multiple, or the number of first flow channels 34 may be multiple and the number of second flow channels 35 may be multiple. In embodiments where there are multiple first flow channels 34, the first heat conduction plate 3331 and the partition member 33 5 Together, they define a plurality of first flow paths 34, which are arranged sequentially along the third direction z, and each first flow path 34 extends along the second direction y. The third direction z is perpendicular to the second direction y. In embodiments in which there are a plurality of second flow paths 35, the second heat conduction plate 3332 and the partition member 33 5 Together, they define multiple second channels 35, which are arranged sequentially along the third direction z, and each second channel 35 extends along the second direction y. 【0436】 In another embodiment, the arrangement direction of the multiple first channels 34 may differ from the arrangement direction of the multiple second channels 35. The extension direction of the first channels 34 may differ from the extension direction of the second channels 35. Naturally, the extension directions of the multiple first channels 34 may differ, and the extension directions of the multiple second channels 35 may also differ. 【0437】 The presence of multiple first flow channels 34 and / or multiple second flow channels 35 allows the reinforcing element 30 to accommodate more fluid media, which is advantageous for more uniform distribution of the fluid media, improving heat exchange efficiency and uniformity of heat exchange, and reducing temperature differences in different regions of the battery cell 20. 【0438】 There are several methods for forming the first channel 34. In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 55 to 59, a first groove 3351 is installed in the partition member 335, and the first groove 3351 forms part of the first channel 34. 【0439】 The statement "The first groove 3351 forms part of the first flow path 34" means that the groove wall of the first groove 3351 becomes part of the wall of the first flow path 34. The first groove 3351 can take on multiple forms. For example, as shown in Figure 56, along the stacking direction of the first heat conduction plate 3331, the second heat conduction plate 3332, and the partition member 335, the partition member 335 has a first surface 3352 facing the first heat conduction plate 3331 and a second surface 3353 facing the second heat conduction plate 3332. The first surface 3352 and the second surface 3353 are arranged opposite each other, and the first groove 3351 is installed on the first surface 3352 and is recessed in the direction toward the second surface 3353. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 58, for example, the first groove 3351 is installed on the first surface 3352, the first groove 3351 is recessed in the direction approaching the second surface 3353 from the first surface 3352, and the first protrusion 3354 is formed on the second surface 3353 at a position corresponding to the first groove 3351. 【0440】 The first groove 3351 penetrates at least one end of the partition member 335 along the second direction y. In this embodiment, the first groove 3351 penetrates both ends of the partition member 335 along the second direction y, and the fluid medium can flow in from one end of the first flow path 34 along the second direction y and out from the other end of the first flow path 34 along the second direction y. 【0441】 The first groove 3351 installed in the partition member 335 forms part of the first flow path 34, and while ensuring a sufficient cross-sectional area of ​​the first flow path 34, it reduces the dimensions of the thermal management member 30 in the stacking direction of the first heat conduction plate 3331, the second heat conduction plate 3332, and the partition member 335. 【0442】 As shown in Figures 55 to 58, in some embodiments, the first heat conduction plate 3331 closes the groove opening of the first recess 3351 facing the first heat conduction plate 3331, thereby forming the first flow path 34. 【0443】 In some embodiments, the side of the first heat conduction plate 3331 facing the partition member 335 abuts against the first surface 3352, thereby closing the groove opening of the first groove 3351 facing the first heat conduction plate 3331, forming the first flow path 34. In other words, the first heat conduction plate 3331 forms the other part of the first flow path 34. Therefore, in embodiments where the side of the first heat conduction plate 3331 facing the partition member 335 abuts against the first surface 3352, the groove wall of the first groove 3351 becomes part of the wall of the first flow path 34, and the surface of the first heat conduction plate 3331 facing the partition member 335 becomes the other part of the wall of the first flow path 34. The side of the first heat conduction plate 3331 facing the partition member 335 abuts against the first surface 3352, and the surface of the first heat conduction plate 3331 facing the partition member 335 contacts the first surface 3352. However, there is no connection between them, or the surface of the first heat conduction plate 3331 facing the partition member 335 may be connected to the first surface 3352 by welding or other means. 【0444】 In another embodiment, if the first groove 3351 is not installed on the first surface 3352 and there is a gap between the side of the first heat conduction plate 3331 facing the partition member 335 and the first surface 3352, the first groove 3351, the first surface 3352, and the first heat conduction plate 3331 all define the first flow path 34. 【0445】 The first heat conduction plate 3331 closes the groove opening of the first recess 3351 facing the first heat conduction plate 3331, thereby forming the first flow path 34, and the first heat conduction plate 3331, the second heat conduction plate 3332 and the partition member 33 The installation of the first heat conduction plate 3331 and the partition member 335 in the stacking direction X of 5 becomes more compact, and the dimensions of the thermal management member 30 in the stacking direction of the first heat conduction plate 3331, the second heat conduction plate 3332, and the partition member 445 are reduced. 【0446】 In another embodiment, if the first groove 3351 is not installed on the first surface 3352 of the partition member 335, and a gap exists between the side of the first heat conduction plate 3331 facing the partition member 335 and the first surface 3352, the first surface 3352 forms part of the wall of the first flow channel 34, and the surface of the first heat conduction plate 3331 facing the partition member 335 forms the other part of the wall of the first flow channel 34. 【0447】 There are several methods for forming the second channel 35. As shown in Figures 55 to 58, in some embodiments, a second groove 3355 is installed in the partition member 335, and the second groove 3355 forms part of the second channel 35. 【0448】 The statement "The second groove 3355 forms part of the second flow path 35" means that the groove wall of the second groove 3355 becomes part of the wall of the second flow path 35. The second groove 3355 can take on multiple forms. For example, as shown in Figure 55, the second groove 3355 is located on the second surface 3353 and recessed toward the first surface 3352 along the stacking direction x of the first heat conduction plate 3331, the second heat conduction plate 3332, and the partition member. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 57, for example, the second groove 3355 is located on the second surface 3353, recessed toward the first surface 3352 from the second surface 3353, and a second protrusion 3356 is formed on the first surface 3352 at a position corresponding to the second groove 3355. 【0449】 The second groove 3355 penetrates at least one end of the partition member 335 along the second direction y. In this embodiment, the second groove 3355 penetrates both ends of the partition member 335 along the second direction y, and the fluid medium flows in the second direction of the second flow path 35. y It flows in from one end along the second channel 35 in the second direction y It can be discharged from the other end along the same direction. 【0450】 The second groove 3355 installed in the partition member 335 forms part of the second flow path 35, and while ensuring a sufficient cross-sectional area of ​​the second flow path 35, it reduces the dimensions of the thermal management member 30 in the stacking direction x of the first heat conduction plate 3331, the second heat conduction plate 3332, and the partition member 335. 【0451】 As shown in Figures 55 to 58, in some embodiments, the second heat conduction plate 3332 closes the groove opening of the second groove 3355 that faces the second heat conduction plate 3332, thereby forming the second flow path 35. 【0452】 In some embodiments, the side of the second heat conduction plate 3332 facing the partition member 335 abuts against the second surface 3353, thereby closing the groove opening of the second groove 3355 facing the second heat conduction plate 3332, forming the second flow path 35. In other words, the second heat conduction plate 3332 forms the other part of the first flow path 34. Therefore, in embodiments where the side of the second heat conduction plate 3332 facing the partition member 335 abuts against the second surface 3353, the groove wall of the second groove 3355 becomes part of the wall of the second flow path 35, and the surface of the second heat conduction plate 3332 facing the partition member 335 becomes the other part of the wall of the second flow path 35. The side of the second heat conduction plate 3332 facing the partition member 335 abuts against the second surface 3353, and the surface of the second heat conduction plate 3332 facing the partition member 335 contacts the second surface 3353. However, there is no connection between them, or the surface of the second heat conduction plate 3332 facing the partition member 335 may be connected to the second surface 3353 by welding or other means. 【0453】 In another embodiment, if the second groove 3355 is not installed on the second surface 3353, and a gap exists between the side of the second heat conduction plate 3332 facing the partition member 335 and the second surface 3353, the second groove 3355, the second surface 3353, and the second heat conduction plate 3332 all define the second flow path 35. 【0454】 The second heat conduction plate 3332 closes the groove opening of the second groove 3355 facing the second heat conduction plate 3332, thereby forming a second flow path 35. This makes the installation of the second heat conduction plate 3332 and the partition member 335 more compact in the stacking direction X of the first heat conduction plate 3331, the second heat conduction plate 3332, and the partition member, and reduces the dimensions of the reinforcing element 30 in the stacking direction of the first heat conduction plate 3331, the second heat conduction plate 3332, and the partition member 335. 【0455】 Continuing with Figures 55 to 58, in an embodiment where there are multiple first flow channels 34, there are multiple first grooves 3351, and the multiple first grooves 3351 are arranged along the third direction z, which is perpendicular to the stacking direction of the first heat conduction plate 3331, the second heat conduction plate 3332, and the partition member 335. The first heat conduction plate 3331 closes the groove openings of the multiple first grooves 3351 facing the first heat conduction plate 3331, thereby forming multiple first flow channels 34. 【0456】 In embodiments where there are multiple second flow channels 35, there are multiple second grooves 3355, and the multiple second grooves 3355 are arranged along a third direction z, which is perpendicular to the stacking direction of the first heat conduction plate 3331, the second heat conduction plate 3332, and the partition member 335. The second heat conduction plate 3332 closes the groove openings of the multiple second grooves 3355 facing the second heat conduction plate 3332, thereby forming multiple second flow channels 35. 【0457】 Here, the partition member 335 may have only a plurality of first grooves 3351 on the first surface 3352 and one second groove 3355 on the second surface 3353 or no second groove 3355, or the partition member 335 may have a plurality of second grooves 3355 only on the second surface 3353 and one first groove 3351 on the first surface 3352 or no first groove 3351, or the partition member 335 may have a plurality of first grooves 3351 on the first surface 3352 and a plurality of second grooves 3355 on the second surface 3353. 【0458】 The presence of multiple first grooves 3351 allows for the formation of multiple first channels 34, and / or the presence of multiple second grooves 3355 allows for the formation of multiple second channels 35, thereby enabling the reinforcing element 30 to accommodate more fluid medium, which is advantageous in distributing the fluid medium more uniformly, improving heat exchange efficiency and uniformity of heat exchange, and reducing temperature differences in different regions of the battery cell 20. 【0459】 Referring to Figures 55 to 58, the first groove 3351 and the second groove 3355 are arranged alternately along the third direction z. 【0460】 "The first groove 3351 and the second groove 3355 are arranged alternately along the third direction z" means the first heat conduction plate 3331 and the second heat conduction plate 333 2 and along the stacking direction X of the partition member 335, at least a portion of each second groove 3355 along the third direction z of projection on the first surface 3352 is located between two adjacent first grooves 3351, and / or the first heat conduction plate 3331, the second heat conduction plate 333 2 Furthermore, along the stacking direction X of the partition member 335, at least a portion of the projection on the second surface 3353 of each first groove 3351 along the third direction z is located between two adjacent second grooves 3355, which means that the first flow channels 34 and the second flow channels 35 are alternately arranged in the third direction z. 【0461】 Figures 55 to 56 show the case where, along the stacking direction X of the first heat conduction plate 3331, the second heat conduction plate 3332, and the partition member, the projection on the first surface 3352 of each second groove 3355 is entirely located between two adjacent first grooves 3351. Figures 57 to 58 show the case where, along the stacking direction X of the first heat conduction plate 3331, the second heat conduction plate 3332, and the partition member, a portion of the projection on the first surface 3352 of each second groove 3355 along the third direction z is located between two adjacent first grooves 3351, and a portion of the projection on the first surface 3352 of each second groove 3355 along the third direction z overlaps with the first groove 3351. 【0462】 The first groove 3351 and the second groove 3355 are arranged alternately along the third direction z, and the first flow path 34 and the second flow path 35 are arranged alternately along the third direction z. When the thermal management member 30 is located between two adjacent battery cells 20, the temperature distribution along the third direction z of the battery cell 20 corresponding to the first flow path 34 is uniform, and the temperature distribution along the third direction z of the battery cell 20 corresponding to the second flow path 35 is uniform. 【0463】 Referring to Figures 57 to 59, in some embodiments, the partition member 335 is a corrugated plate, which has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture. 【0464】 In this embodiment, the first groove 3351 is installed on the first surface 3352, the first groove 3351 is recessed in the direction approaching the second surface 3353 from the first surface 3352, and the first protrusion 3354 is formed at a position on the second surface 3353 corresponding to the first groove 3351. The second groove 3355 is installed on the second surface 3353, the second groove 3355 is recessed in the direction approaching the first surface 3352 from the second surface 3353, and the second protrusion 3356 is formed at a position on the first surface 3352 corresponding to the second groove 3355. The first groove 3351 and the second groove 3355 are arranged alternately along the third direction z, and the first protrusion 3354 and the second protrusion 3356 are arranged alternately along the third direction z to form a corrugated plate. 【0465】 In another embodiment, as shown in Figures 55 and 56, the partition member 335 may be a member of a different structural form. 【0466】 As shown in Figure 60, the first flow path 34 may be formed using other methods. For example, in another embodiment, the partition member 335 includes a main body 3357 and a first partition 3358, with both ends of the first partition 3358 along the first direction x connected to the main body 3357 and the first heat conduction plate 3331, respectively, and the main body 3357, the first partition 3358, and the first heat conduction plate 3331 together define the first flow path 34. 【0467】 Both the main body 3357 and the first partition 3358 have a flat plate structure, defining a first space between the main body 3357 and the first heat conduction plate 3331. The number of first partitions 3358 may be one or more, and in embodiments where there are multiple first partitions 3358, the multiple first partitions 3358 are in the first direction x The multiple first partitions 3358 are arranged at intervals along the line, and divide the first space into multiple first subspaces, thereby defining multiple first flow paths 34 together with the main body 3357, the first heat conduction plate 3331, and the multiple first partitions 3358. The main body 3357 and the first partitions 3358 may be integrally molded, for example, the main body 3357 and the first partitions 3358 may be molded by an integral molding process such as injection or extrusion. The main body 3357 and the first partitions 3358 are installed separately, and dissolve They are connected as a single unit by connectors, screws, etc. 【0468】 The main body 3357, the first partition 3358, and the first heat conduction plate 3331 all define multiple first flow paths 34, and the reinforcing element 30 can accommodate more fluid medium, which is advantageous in distributing the fluid medium more uniformly and improving heat exchange efficiency and uniformity of heat exchange, reducing temperature differences in different regions of the battery cell 20, and the first partition 3358 can support the first heat conduction plate 3331, strengthening the deformation resistance of the first heat conduction plate 3331. 【0469】 The second flow path 35 may also be formed using other methods. For example, referring to Figure 13, the partition member 335 further includes a second partition portion 3359, the ends of which the second partition portion 3359 along the second direction y are connected to the main body portion 3357 and the second heat conduction plate 3332, respectively, and the main body portion 3357, the second partition portion 3359 and the second heat conduction plate 3332 together define the second flow path 35. 【0470】 Both the main body 3357 and the second partition 3359 have a flat plate structure, defining a second space between the main body 3357 and the second heat conduction plate 3332. The number of second partitions 3359 may be one or more, and in embodiments where there are multiple second partitions 3359, the multiple second partitions 3359 are in the first direction x The multiple second partitions 3359 are arranged at intervals along the line, and divide the second space into multiple second sub-spaces, thereby defining multiple second flow paths 35 together with the main body 3357, the second heat conduction plate 3332, and the multiple second partitions 3359. The main body 3357 and the second partitions 3359 may be integrally molded, for example, the main body 3357 and the first partition 3359 may be molded by an integral molding process such as injection or extrusion. The main body 3357 and the second partitions 3359 are installed separately, and dissolve The components are connected integrally by fasteners, screws, or other means. Alternatively, the main body 3357, the first partition 3358, and the second partition 3359 may be integrally molded. 【0471】 The main body 3357, the second partition 3359, and the second heat conduction plate 3332 all define multiple second flow paths 35, and the reinforcing element 30 can accommodate more fluid medium, which is advantageous in distributing the fluid medium more uniformly and improving heat exchange efficiency and uniformity of heat exchange, reducing temperature differences in different regions of the battery cell 20, and the second partition 3359 is 2 Heat conductive plate 333 2 This can support the deformation resistance of the second heat conduction plate 3332. 【0472】 The first channel 34 and the second channel 35 may extend along the same direction or along different directions. In this embodiment, the extension direction of the first channel 34 coincides with the extension direction of the second channel 35. Both the first channel 34 and the second channel 35 extend along the second direction y, making manufacturing easy. 【0473】 With respect to the fluid medium flowing in the first channel 34 and the second channel 35, the heat exchange capacity between the fluid medium in the first channel 34 and the corresponding battery cell 20 gradually decreases along the direction of fluid medium flow. For example, the reinforcing element 30 is used to cool the battery cell 20. Along the direction of fluid medium flow, the temperature of the fluid medium located in the first channel 34 and the second channel 35 gradually increases, and the ability of the high-temperature fluid medium to cool the battery cell 20 decreases. 【0474】 Based on the above, in some embodiments, along the extension direction of the first channel 34 and the second channel 35, the first channel 34 has a first inlet (not shown) and a first outlet (not shown), and the second channel 35 has a second inlet (not shown) and a second outlet (not shown), and the direction from the first inlet to the first outlet is opposite to the direction from the second inlet to the second outlet. 【0475】 The first inlet allows the fluid medium to flow into the first channel 34, the first outlet discharges the fluid medium from the first channel 34, the second inlet allows the fluid medium to flow into the second channel 35, and the second outlet discharges the fluid medium from the second channel 35. 【0476】 Exemplary, as shown in Figure 61, in an embodiment in which reinforcing elements 30 are provided on both sides of the battery cell 20, one side of the battery cell 20 corresponds to a first flow path 34 of one reinforcing element 30, and the other side of the battery cell 20 corresponds to a second flow path 35 of another reinforcing element 30. The fluid media on both sides of the battery cell 20 flow along opposite directions, and along the extension direction (second direction y) of the first flow path 34 and the second flow path 35, the heat exchange capacity of the fluid media in the first flow path 34 and the fluid media in the second flow path 35 can be complemented, thereby reducing the local temperature difference of the battery cell 20. 【0477】 Therefore, since the direction from the first inlet to the first outlet is opposite to the direction from the second inlet to the second outlet, that is, the flow direction of the fluid medium in the first channel 34 is opposite to the flow direction of the fluid medium in the second channel 35, the heat exchange effect is higher in the region of the battery cell 20 closer to the inlet of the corresponding channel, and lower in the region of the battery cell 20 closer to the outlet of the corresponding channel. This arrangement of the first channel 34 and the second channel 35 reduces local differences in the thermal management of the battery cell 20 in the battery 100, making heat exchange more uniform. 【0478】 As shown in Figure 62, in some embodiments, the reinforcing element 30 includes a communication cavity 36 located at one end of the partition member 335, the first flow path 34 communicates with the communication cavity 36, and the second flow path 35 communicates with the communication cavity 36. 【0479】 The communication cavity 36 is located at one end of the partition member 335, and the partition member 335, the first heat conduction plate 3331, and the second heat conduction plate 3332 all define the communication cavity 36. In this embodiment, the communication cavity 36 is the gap between one end of the partition member 335 and the first heat conduction plate 3331 and the second heat conduction plate 3332 in the second direction y. 【0480】 In another embodiment, the communication cavity 36 may be formed from other structures, for example, the reinforcing element 30 further includes a communication pipe, the first flow path 34 and the second flow path 35 are connected via the communication pipe, and the internal passage of the communication pipe is the communication cavity 36. 【0481】 The number of first channels 34 and second channels 35 may both be multiple. In an embodiment where there are multiple first channels 34, all first channels 34 may be in communication with the communication cavity 36, and the fluid medium in each first channel 34 is discharged from the first outlet through the first channel 34, then flows through the communication cavity 36 and into the second channel 35 from the second inlet. In another embodiment, some of the multiple first channels 34 may be in communication with the communication cavity 36, and the fluid medium in these first channels 34 flows from the first outlet through the communication cavity 36 and into the second channel 62 from the second inlet, while other parts of the multiple first channels 34 are not in communication with the communication cavity 36, and the fluid medium in these first channels 34 cannot flow into the second channel 35. The directions indicated by the white arrows in Figure 62 are the flow directions of the fluid medium in the first channels 34 and second channels 35. 【0482】 In an embodiment where there are multiple second flow paths 35, all second flow paths 35 may communicate with a communication cavity 36, and the fluid medium in the first flow path 34 is discharged from the first outlet through the first flow path 34, then flows through the communication cavity 36 and into each second flow path 35 from the second inlet. In another embodiment, some of the multiple second flow paths 35 may communicate with a communication cavity 36, and the fluid medium in the first flow path 34 that communicates with the communication cavity 36 flows through the communication cavity 36 and then into the second flow path 35 that communicates with the communication cavity 36 from the second inlet, while some of the other second flow paths 35 do not communicate with the communication cavity 36, and the fluid medium in the first flow path 34 cannot flow into these second flow paths 35. 【0483】 In this embodiment, there are multiple first flow channels 34 and second flow channels 35, and each first flow channel 34 and each second flow channel 35 communicates with a communication cavity 36. 【0484】 The number of first channels 34 and second channels 35 may be the same or different. 【0485】 When the first channel 34 communicates with the communication cavity 36 and the second channel 35 communicates with the communication cavity 36, the fluid medium in the first channel 34 can flow into the second channel 35, and the fluid medium flowing out from the outlet (first outlet) of the first channel 34 flows into the second channel 35 from the inlet (second inlet) of the second channel 35. This arrangement reduces local differences in the thermal management of the battery cells 20 within the battery 100, making heat exchange more uniform. 【0486】 Referring to Figures 25, 26, 62, and 63, in some embodiments, the reinforcing element 30 includes a medium inlet 3412 and a medium outlet 3422, the medium inlet 3412 communicating with a communication cavity 36 via a first flow path 34, and the medium outlet 3422 communicating with the communication cavity 36 via a second flow path 35. 【0487】 The medium inlet 3412 is installed on the first heat conduction plate 3331 and communicates with the first flow path 34, and the medium outlet 3422 is installed on the second heat conduction plate 3332 and communicates with the second flow path 35. 【0488】 The fluid medium flows into the first channel 34 from the medium inlet 3412, then flows into the second channel 35 via the communication cavity 36, and is discharged from the medium outlet 3422. The fluid medium exchanges heat with the battery cell 20 during its flow. The directions indicated by the white arrows in Figures 62 and 63 are the flow directions of the fluid medium in the first channel 34 and the second channel 35. 【0489】 By installing a medium inlet 3412 and a medium outlet 3422, the fluid medium can easily flow into the first channel 34 and the second channel 35, and after heat exchange with the battery cell 20, the fluid medium can be easily discharged from the first channel 34 and the second channel 35. As a result, the fluid medium that has not undergone heat exchange flows into the first channel 34 and the second channel 35, ensuring the heat exchange capacity of the fluid medium in the first channel 34 and the second channel 35. 【0490】 Referring to Figures 62 and 63, in some embodiments, along the extending direction of the first channel 34, the medium inlet 3412 is located at one end of the first heat conduction plate 3331 away from the communication cavity 36, and along the extending direction of the second channel 35, the medium outlet 3422 is located at one end of the second heat conduction plate 3332 away from the communication cavity 36. 【0491】 The extension direction of the first channel 34 and the extension direction of the second channel 35 are both parallel to the second direction y. In another embodiment, the extension direction of the first channel 34 may be different from the extension direction of the second channel 35. For example, the extension direction of the first channel 34 is parallel to the second direction y, the extension direction of the second channel 35 is parallel to a predetermined direction, the angle between the predetermined direction and the second direction y is acute, or the predetermined direction is perpendicular to the second direction y, and the predetermined direction is perpendicular to the first direction x. 【0492】 A medium inlet pipe 37 is inserted into the medium inlet 3412, making it easy to connect the medium inlet 3412 with a device that supplies the fluid medium. A medium flow discharge pipe 38 is inserted into the medium outlet 3422, making it easy to connect the medium outlet 3422 with a device that recovers the fluid medium. 【0493】 The medium inlet 3412 is located at one end of the first heat conduction plate 3331 away from the communication cavity 36, and the medium outlet 3422 is located at one end of the second heat conduction plate 3332 away from the communication cavity 36. The fluid medium flows from the medium inlet 3412 into the first flow path 34, then flows through the entire first flow path 34 along the direction of extension of the first flow path 34, then flows into the second flow path 35, and then flows through the entire second flow path 35 along the direction of extension of the second flow path 35 before being discharged from the medium outlet 3422. As a result, the path through which the fluid medium flows within the heat management member 30 is maximized, allowing for sufficient heat exchange with the battery cell 20 and improving heat exchange efficiency and uniformity. 【0494】 As shown in Figures 62 and 63, in some embodiments, one end of the first channel 34 away from the communication cavity 36 along its extension direction and the other end of the second channel 35 away from the communication cavity 36 along its extension direction do not communicate with each other. 【0495】 In this embodiment, the extension direction of the first channel 34 and the extension direction of the second channel 35 are both parallel to the second direction y. The communication cavity 36 is located at one end of the partition member 335 along the second direction y. As shown in Figure 63, the reinforcing element 30 further includes a sealing member 39 (or a blocking member), which is installed at one end of the partition member 335 away from the communication cavity 36 along the second direction y, thereby blocking one end of the second channel 35 away from the communication cavity 36 along the second direction y, thereby preventing the fluid medium flowing from the medium inlet 3412 into the first channel 34 from flowing into the second channel 35 in the direction away from the communication cavity 36 within the first channel 34. Of course, in another embodiment, the sealing member 39 is installed at one end of the partition member 335 away from the communication cavity 36 along the second direction y, and the sealing member 39 is installed at one end of the first channel 34 away from the communication cavity 36 along the second direction y one end It can also be used to block the fluid medium flowing from the medium inlet 3412 into the first channel 34, preventing it from flowing into the second channel 35 along the first channel 34 in a direction away from the communication cavity 36. 【0496】 The sealing member 39 and the partition member 335 may be installed separately, and the separately installed sealing member 39 and partition member 335 may be connected to form an integrated structure, for example by welding, bonding, or other methods. The sealing member 39 and partition member 335 may be integrally molded, for example by an integral molding process such as injection or pressing. 【0497】 Along the stacking direction of the first heat conduction plate 3331, the second heat conduction plate 3332, and the partition member 335, the projection of the media outlet 3422 on the partition member 353 is located on the side facing the communication cavity 36 of the sealing member 39, thereby allowing the fluid medium in the second flow path 35 to be discharged from the media inlet 3412. 【0498】 One end of the first channel 34 that is away from the communication cavity 36 along its extension direction and the other end of the second channel 35 that is away from the communication cavity 36 along its extension direction do not communicate with each other. When the fluid medium flows into the first channel 34, it flows through the entire first channel 34 before flowing from the communication cavity 36 into the second channel 35, and after flowing through the entire second channel 35, it is discharged from the medium outlet 3422. As a result, the path through which the fluid medium flows within the heat management member 30 is maximized, allowing for sufficient heat exchange with the battery cell 20 and improving heat exchange efficiency and uniformity. 【0499】 In some embodiments, there are multiple first flow channels 34 and second flow channels 35, and each first flow channel 34 and each second flow channel 35 communicates with a communication cavity 36. 【0500】 In another embodiment, the number of first channels 34 may be one, and the number of second channels 35 may be multiple, with each second channel 35 communicating with a communication cavity 36; or the number of first channels 34 and second channels 35 may both be one; or the number of second channels 35 may be one, and the number of first channels 34 may be multiple, with each first channel 34 communicating with a communication cavity 36. 【0501】 Both the first channel 34 and the second channel 35 are multiple and both communicate with the connecting cavity 36, the fluid medium in each first channel 34 can flow into each second channel 35, and the fluid medium flowing out from the outlet of the first channel 34 flows into the second channel 35 from the inlet of the second channel 35. This arrangement reduces local differences in the thermal management of the battery cells 20 within the battery 100 and makes heat exchange more uniform. 【0502】 In embodiments where there are multiple first flow channels 34, the number of medium inlets 3412 may be set differently. For example, referring to Figures 53 and 63, in some embodiments, there is one medium inlet 3412, and each first flow channel 34 communicates with a communication cavity 36 and a medium inlet 3412. 【0503】 In an embodiment in which the sealing member 39 closes one end of the second flow path 35 away from the communication cavity 36, as shown in Figure 63, a flow separation gap 310 is formed between the side of the sealing member 39 away from the communication cavity 36 and the first heat conduction plate 3331 and the second heat conduction plate 3332, and the medium inlet 3412 communicates with each first flow path 34 via the flow separation gap 310. The fluid medium flowing in from the medium inlet 3412 enters the flow separation gap 310 and is then distributed from the flow separation gap 310 to each first flow path 34. 【0504】 Therefore, having only one medium inlet 3412 enables the fluid medium to flow synchronously into each first flow path 34, and reduces the number of medium inlets 3412 installed on the first heat conduction plate 3331, thereby reducing the impact on the structural strength of the first heat conduction plate 3331 caused by the installation of the medium inlets 3412. ta supplement The structure of the strong element 30 is simpler, making it easier to manufacture. In another embodiment, there are multiple media inlets 3412, and each first flow path 34 communicates with a communication cavity 36 and one media inlet 3412. 【0505】 The number of media inlets 3412 is the same as the number of first flow channels 34, and there is a one-to-one correspondence between them. Each media inlet 3412 allows the fluid medium to flow into the corresponding first flow channel 34, making it easy to control the fluid medium flow into each first flow channel 34 independently, and to control the fluid medium to flow into the required first flow channel 34 according to actual requirements, thereby controlling the arrangement of the fluid medium inside the heat control tube and rationally controlling the temperature of the battery cell 20. 【0506】 In embodiments where there are multiple second flow paths 35, as shown in Figure 52, there are multiple medium outlets 3422, and each second flow path 35 communicates with a communication cavity 36 and one medium outlet 3422. 【0507】 There are multiple second flow channels 35 and multiple media outlets 3422. The media outlets 3422 and second flow channels 35 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, and the fluid medium in each second flow channel 35 is discharged from the corresponding media outlet 3422. 【0508】 In another embodiment, there may be only one medium outlet 3422, which communicates with each second flow path 35, and all the fluid medium in all of the second flow paths 35 is discharged from the medium outlet 3422. 【0509】 Each second channel 35 communicates with a communication cavity 36 and a single medium outlet 3422, allowing the fluid medium to be quickly discharged from the second channel 35, thereby improving heat exchange efficiency. 【0510】 In some embodiments, the partition member 335 has an integrally molded structure. 【0511】 The partition member 335 may be formed using an integral molding method such as pressing or injection molding. In the embodiment where the partition member 335 is a corrugated plate, press molding is used for the corrugated plate. The partition member 335 is an integrally molded structure, which is easy to manufacture and has high structural strength. 【0512】 In some embodiments, the first heat conduction plate 3331 may be a single-piece molded structure, and the second heat conduction plate 3332 may also be a single-piece molded structure. For example, both the first heat conduction plate 3331 and the second heat conduction plate 3332 may be manufactured using injection molding or press molding. 【0513】 In some embodiments, the first heat conduction plate 3331 is welded to the partition member 335, and / or the second heat conduction plate 3332 is welded to the partition member 335. 【0514】 The first heat conduction plate 3331 is welded to the partition member 335, and the second heat conduction plate 3332 and the partition member 335 are connected by another method (e.g., adhesive), or the second heat conduction plate 3332 may be in contact with the partition member 335 but not connected. The second heat conduction plate 3332 is welded to the partition member 335, and the first heat conduction plate 3331 and the partition member 335 are connected by another method (e.g., adhesive), or the first heat conduction plate 3331 may be in contact with the partition member 335 but not connected. In this embodiment, both the first heat conduction plate 3331 and the second heat conduction plate 3332 are welded to the partition member 335. 【0515】 partition component In an embodiment where 335 is a corrugated plate, the first heat conduction plate 3331 is welded to the second protrusion 3356, and the second heat conduction plate 3332 is welded to the first protrusion 3354 (see Figure 58). This connection method allows the partition member 335 to support the first heat conduction plate 3331 and the second heat conduction plate 3332, improving the ability of the first heat conduction plate 3331 and the second heat conduction plate 3332 to resist the expansion deformation of the battery cell 20. 【0516】 First heat conduction plate 3331 and partition member 335 of By welding 、 The stability of the connection between the first heat conduction plate 3331 and the partition member 335 has been improved, and the connection between the second heat conduction plate 3332 and the partition member 335 of By welding 、 The stability of the connection between the second heat conduction plate 3332 and the partition member 335 is improved. 【0517】 As shown in Figure 64, the battery 100 includes adjacent first battery cells 21 and 22 and a reinforcing element 30, the reinforcing element 30 being installed between the first battery cell 21 and the second battery cell 22, the first heat conduction plate 3331 being heat conduction connected to the first battery cell 21 and the second heat conduction plate 3332 being heat conduction connected to the second battery cell 22. 【0518】 The fluid medium in the first channel 34 and the fluid medium in the second channel 35 can exchange heat with the first battery cell 21 and the second battery cell 22, respectively, thereby reducing the temperature difference between the first battery cell 21 and the second battery cell 22. 【0519】 The expansion of the first battery cell 21 does not press against the second flow path 35 corresponding to the second battery cell 22 in such a way that it reduces the dimensions of the second flow path 35 corresponding to the second battery cell 22, or the effect on the dimensions of the second flow path 35 corresponding to the second battery cell 22 is small, thereby ensuring the heat exchange capacity of the second flow path 35 corresponding to the second battery cell 22. The expansion of the second battery cell 22 does not press against the first flow path 34 corresponding to the first battery cell 21 in such a way that it reduces the dimensions of the first flow path 34 corresponding to the first battery cell 21, or the effect on the dimensions of the first flow path 34 corresponding to the first battery cell 21 is small, thereby ensuring the heat exchange capacity of the first flow path 34 corresponding to the first battery cell 21. This ensures the safety performance of the battery 100 using the reinforcing element 30. 【0520】 Furthermore, since the first flow path 34 and the second flow path 35 correspond to the first battery cell 21 and the second battery cell 22, respectively, the first flow path 34 can withstand deformation due to the expansion of the first battery cell 21, and the second flow path 35 can withstand deformation due to the expansion of the second battery cell 22. Therefore, the expansion of the first battery cell 21 is less likely to interfere with or have no effect on the expansion of the second battery cell 22, and the expansion of the second battery cell 22 is less likely to interfere with or have no effect on the expansion of the first battery cell 1. This is advantageous for releasing the expansion of the first battery cell 1 and the second battery cell 22, reducing the occurrence of premature depressurization or serious thermal runaway accidents of the first battery cell 21 and the second battery cell 22 due to mutual interference of the expansion of the first battery cell 21 and the second battery cell 22, and further improving the safety performance of the battery 100. 【0521】 Continuing with reference to Figure 64, in some embodiments, the reinforcing element 30 may be installed on the side of the first battery cell 21 away from the second battery cell 22, or the reinforcing member 30 may be installed on the side of the second battery cell 22 away from the first battery cell 21. 【0522】 To simplify the explanation, we define the reinforcing element 30 located between the first battery cell 21 and the second battery cell 22 as the first reinforcing element, the reinforcing element 30 located on the side of the first battery cell 21 away from the second battery cell 22 as the second reinforcing element, and the reinforcing element 30 located on the side of the second battery cell 22 away from the first battery cell 21 as the third reinforcing element. 【0523】 The flow directions of the fluid medium in the first channel 34 and the fluid medium in the second channel 35 of the first reinforcing element are opposite. The flow directions of the fluid medium in the first channel 34 and the fluid medium in the second channel 35 of the second reinforcing element are opposite. The flow directions of the fluid medium in the first channel 34 and the fluid medium in the second channel 35 of the third reinforcing element are opposite. 【0524】 The second heat conduction plate 3332 of the second reinforcing element is heat conduction connected to the side of the first battery cell 21 away from the second battery cell 22, and the flow direction of the fluid medium in the first channel 34 of the first reinforcing element is opposite to the direction of the reinforcing element 30 in the second channel 35 of the second reinforcing element. This allows the heat exchange capacity of the fluid medium located on both sides of the first battery cell 21 along the second direction y to be complemented, thereby reducing the local temperature difference of the first battery cell 21. 【0525】 The first heat conduction plate 3331 of the third reinforcing element is heat conduction connected to the side of the second battery cell 22 away from the first battery cell, and the flow direction of the fluid medium in the second channel 35 of the first reinforcing element is opposite to the direction of the reinforcing element 30 in the first channel 34 of the third reinforcing element. This allows the heat exchange capacity of the fluid medium located on both sides of the second battery cell 22 along the second direction y to be complemented, thereby reducing the local temperature difference of the second battery cell 22. 【0526】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 65 to 82, at least a portion of the reinforcing element 30 is configured to be deformable when subjected to pressure, thereby the reinforcing element 30 provides a certain expansion space for the battery cell 20, which is advantageous in reducing the pressing force between the reinforcing element 30 and the battery cell 20. 【0527】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 65, the reinforcing element 30 includes a heat exchange layer 400 and a compressible layer 500 arranged in a stack. The heat exchange layer 400 can improve the heat exchange efficiency of the battery cell 20, improving the heat dissipation capacity of the battery cell 20. The elastic modulus of the compressible layer 500 is lower than that of the heat exchange layer 400. When subjected to the expansion force released by the battery cell 20, the compressible layer 500 deforms along the direction of the expansion force of the battery cell 20, thereby absorbing the expanded portion of the battery cell 20 and ensuring the expansion space of the battery cell 20, thus preventing the entire battery 100 from deforming significantly. Furthermore, the compressible layer 500 is advantageous for absorbing tolerances when assembling the battery, helping to maintain a compact structure for mounting and the battery. 【0528】 The heat exchange layer 400 is a layered structure for exchanging heat with the battery cell 20. When the temperature of the battery cell 20 is higher than the temperature of the heat exchange layer 400, heat from the battery cell 20 is conducted to the heat exchange layer 400, lowering the temperature of the battery cell 20; when the temperature of the battery cell 20 is lower than the heat exchange temperature, heat from the heat exchange layer 400 is conducted to the battery cell 20, raising the temperature of the battery cell 20. 【0529】 The compressible layer 500 has a layered structure that undergoes significant compressive deformation when subjected to an applied force. 【0530】 Selectively, when the compressible layer 500 is subjected to a force acting along the stacking direction, the compressible layer 500 may be compressed and significantly deformed along the stacking direction. 【0531】 The modulus of elasticity is the direct proportional relationship between stress and strain in a material or structure during the elastic deformation stage. Assuming that the material or structure is in the elastic deformation stage and the stress is the same, a higher modulus of elasticity indicates a smaller deformation capacity, and a lower modulus of elasticity indicates a larger deformation capacity. 【0532】 The heat exchange layer 400 may consist of one layer or multiple layers, and the compressible layer 500 may also consist of one layer or multiple layers. 【0533】 For example, as shown in Figure 66, the reinforcing element 30 includes one heat exchange layer 400 and one compressible layer 500; as shown in Figure 67, the reinforcing element 30 includes two heat exchange layers 400 and one compressible layer 500, with the compressible layer 500 placed between the two heat exchange layers 400; and as shown in Figure 68, the reinforcing element 30 includes one heat exchange layer 400 and two compressible layers 500, with the heat exchange layer 400 placed between the two compressible layers 500. 【0534】 In some embodiments, the compressible layer 500 includes a compressible cavity 501, which is a cavity whose volume decreases after being subjected to the force acting upon the compressible layer 500. 【0535】 When subjected to the expansion force released by the battery cell 20, the gas in the compressible cavity 501 is compressed and deforms in the direction of the expansion force of the battery cell 20 in the compressible layer 500. 【0536】 In some embodiments, the compressible cavity 501 is filled with a phase change material or an elastic material. 【0537】 Phase-change materials are substances that can change their state and provide latent heat when the temperature remains constant. The process of changing physical properties is called a phase change, and during this process, phase-change materials absorb or release a large amount of latent heat. 【0538】 Elastic materials refer to materials with a low modulus of elasticity, and these materials deform significantly under the action of the expansion force of a battery cell. 【0539】 When a phase change material is filled into the compressible cavity 501, the thermal capacity of the battery can be improved, and the reinforcing element 30 can keep the battery cell 20 warm or absorb heat from the battery cell 20. When an elastic material is filled into the compressible cavity 501, the elastic material has good elasticity, and when it receives an expansion force released from the battery cell, the elastic material is compressed, the compressible layer 500 deforms in the direction of the expansion force of the battery cell 20, and rebounds after the expansion force has disappeared. In addition, the elastic material can increase the support strength of the compressible layer 500. 【0540】 Selectively, elastic materials include rubber materials. 【0541】 In some embodiments, the heat exchange layer 400 includes a heat exchange cavity 401 (also referred to as the cavity 30a above) for housing a heat exchange medium. The heat exchange medium is a medium for exchanging heat with the battery cell and is generally a liquid or the like with a high specific heat capacity that can maintain fluidity at the battery's operating temperature. 【0542】 Selectively, the heat exchange cavity 401 may be sealed or open. 【0543】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 69, a first support member 410 (also referred to as the reinforcing rib) is installed inside the heat exchange cavity 401, and the first support member 410 is supported inside the heat exchange cavity 401 to prevent the heat exchange cavity 401 from deforming due to pressure. The first support member 410 may also be used to improve the strength of the heat exchange layer 400, thereby preventing the heat exchange layer 400 from deforming significantly after receiving the expansion force released from the battery cell. 【0544】 Selectively, the elastic modulus of the first support member 410 is greater than that of the compressible layer 500. 【0545】 Since the elastic modulus of the compressible layer 500 is smaller than that of the first support member 410, it deforms easily, and after the reinforcing element 30 receives the expansion force released from the battery cell, the compressible layer 500 can deform significantly along the direction of the expansion force of the battery cell 20, while the heat exchange layer 400 does not deform at all. 【0546】 In some embodiments, the heat exchange layer 400 and the compressible layer 500 are arranged in a stacked configuration along a first direction, and the first support member 410 is supported within the heat exchange cavity 401 along the first direction x. 【0547】 When the reinforcing element 30 is applied to a battery, the battery cell 20 is generally brought into contact with the reinforcing element 30 along the first direction x, and the expansion force subsequently released by the battery cell 20 is also basically along the first direction x. The first support member 410, which is supported within the heat exchange cavity 401 along the first direction x, can significantly improve the elastic modulus of the heat exchange layer 400. After the reinforcing element 30 receives the expansion force released from the battery cell along the first direction x, the compressible layer 500 can deform significantly along the first direction x, while the heat exchange layer 400 is basically undeformed. 【0548】 In some embodiments, referring to Figure 67, the compressible layer 500 is placed within the heat exchange cavity 401. 【0549】 Both ends of the reinforcing element 30 along the stacking direction are heat exchange cavities 401, which effectively improves the heat exchange efficiency of the battery cells at both ends of the reinforcing element 30 and keeps the temperature of the entire battery at a low level. 【0550】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 70, a first connecting structure 420 (also referred to as the first reinforcing rib) is further installed within the heat exchange cavity 401 to fix the compressible layer 500 within the heat exchange cavity 401. 【0551】 The first connection structure 420 is a structure in which both ends are connected to the inner wall of the heat exchange cavity 401 and the outer wall of the compressible layer 500, respectively. The first connection structure 420 can fix the compressible layer 500, thereby preventing the position of the compressible layer 500 relative to the heat exchange cavity 401 from changing. 【0552】 Selectively, at least some of the first connecting structures 420 are installed in the heat exchange cavity 401 along the stacking direction. The first connecting structures 420 can, on the one hand, fix the compressible layer 500, and on the other hand, can be used to improve the strength of the heat exchange layer 400, thereby preventing the heat exchange layer 400 from deforming significantly after being subjected to the expansion force released from the battery cells. 【0553】 In some embodiments, a heat exchange space is defined between the outer wall of the compressible layer 500 and the inner wall of the heat exchange cavity 401, and the first connecting structure 420 is installed within the heat exchange space and divides the heat exchange space into a plurality of flow channels 402 (also referred to as flow channels 30c). 【0554】 The multiple flow channels 402 are advantageous for circulating the heat exchange medium within the heat exchange space and prevent the temperature of the reinforcing element 30 from rising. 【0555】 Multiple first connection structures 420 are selectively installed within the heat exchange cavity 401. 【0556】 Selectively, the modulus of elasticity of the first connecting structure 420 is greater than that of the compressible layer 500. 【0557】 In some embodiments, referring to Figures 71 to 74, the compressible layer 500 includes a first compressible tube 510, the heat exchange layer 400 includes a first heat exchange tube 430, and the first compressible tube 510 is fitted inside the first heat exchange tube 430. 【0558】 The first compressible tube 510 has a compressible cavity 501 inside and is a tubular structure that deforms when pressed. 【0559】 The first heat exchange tube 430 is a tubular structure having a heat exchange cavity 401 inside, and at least one first connecting structure 420 is installed in the heat exchange cavity 410, and the end of at least one first connecting structure 420 defines a first mounting cavity 431 in which the first compressible tube 510 is installed. 【0560】 The reinforcing element 30 of this application is configured by fitting a first compressible pipe 510 and a first heat exchange pipe 430 into it, which is advantageous for molding the reinforcing element 30. 【0561】 After selectively fitting the first compressible tube 510 and the first heat exchange tube 430, the end of at least one first connecting structure 420 within the first heat exchange tube 430 abuts against the outer wall of the first compressible tube 510. 【0562】 Selectively, the reinforcing element 30 has a third direction z corresponding to the height direction of the battery cell after being installed inside the battery, and two first connecting structures 420 are installed inside the first heat exchange tube 430 extending along the third direction z, with the two first connecting structures 420 each installed at both ends of the first heat exchange tube 430 along the third direction z. 【0563】 Selectively, the first heat exchange tube 430 has two opposing first contact surfaces 432 for contacting the larger surface of the battery cell, i.e., the first wall 201. The first contact surfaces 432 can improve the contact area between the first heat exchange tube 430 and the battery cell, thereby improving the heat exchange capacity of the reinforcing element 30 to the battery cell. 【0564】 Selectively, the first compressible tube 510 has two opposing first mating surfaces 511 for mating with the large surface, i.e., the first wall 201, of the battery cell. The battery cell generally expands and deforms along a direction perpendicular to the large surface, and the first mating surfaces 511 can deform under the action of the expansion force of the battery cell, absorbing the expanded portion of the battery cell. 【0565】 In some embodiments, selectively referring to Figure 68, the heat exchange layer 400 is installed within a compressible cavity 501. 【0566】 Both ends of the reinforcing element 30 along the stacking direction are heat exchange cavities 401, which effectively improves the deformation capability of the reinforcing element 30. The reinforcing element 30 can effectively deform after receiving the expansion force released from the battery cells at both ends along the stacking direction, thereby absorbing the expanded portion released by the battery cells. 【0567】 In some embodiments, the compressible layer 500 includes a thermal conductive wall, which defines a compressible cavity 501. 【0568】 The heat-conducting wall is a wall structure with a high heat conductivity due to the compressible layer 500. 【0569】 For example, the material of the heat-conducting wall may be thermally conductive silicone, metal, or the like. 【0570】 The outer wall of the compressible layer 500 is a thermal conductive wall, thereby effectively conducting heat from the battery cell into the internal heat exchange layer 400 to perform heat exchange. 【0571】 In some embodiments, refer to Figures 75 to 78, where Figure 75 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the second heat exchange tube according to some embodiments of the present application, Figure 76 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the second compressible tube according to some embodiments of the present application, Figure 77 is a side view of the second compressible tube according to some embodiments of the present application, and Figure 78 is a schematic diagram of the structure after the second compressible tube and the second heat exchange tube have been assembled according to some embodiments of the present application. The compressible layer 500 includes the second compressible tube 520, the heat exchange layer 400 includes the second heat exchange tube 440, and the second heat exchange tube 440 is fitted inside the second compressible tube 520. 【0572】 The second heat exchange tube 440 has a tubular structure with a heat exchange cavity 401 inside. 【0573】 The second compressible tube 520 is a tubular structure having a compressible cavity 501 inside, and having at least one second connecting structure 530 installed within the compressible cavity 501, and the end of at least one second connecting structure 530 defines a second mounting cavity 521 in which the second heat exchange tube 440 is installed. 【0574】 The reinforcing element 30 of this application is configured by fitting a second compressible pipe 520 and a second heat exchange pipe 440 into it, which is advantageous for molding the reinforcing element 30. 【0575】 After selectively fitting the second compressible tube 520 and the second heat exchange tube 440, the end of at least one second connecting structure 530 within the second compressible tube 520 abuts against the outer wall of the second heat exchange tube 440. 【0576】 Selectively, the reinforcing element 30 has a third direction z corresponding to the height direction of the battery cell after being installed inside the battery, and two second connecting structures 530 are installed in the second compressible tube 520 extending along the third direction z, with the two second connecting structures 530 each installed at both ends of the second compressible tube 520 along the third direction z. 【0577】 Selectively, the second compressible tube 520 has two opposing second mating surfaces 522 for contacting the large surface of the battery cell 20, i.e., the first wall 201. The second mating surfaces 522 can improve the contact area between the second compressible tube 520 and the battery cell 20, thereby improving the heat exchange capacity of the reinforcing element 30 to the battery cell 20. Furthermore, the battery cell 20 generally expands and deforms along a direction perpendicular to the large surface, and the second mating surfaces 522 can deform under the action of the expansion force of the battery cell 20, thus reducing the expansion of the battery cell 20. absorb Ability possess . 【0578】 Selectively, the second heat exchange tube 440 has two opposing second contact surfaces 441 for fitting onto the large surface of the battery cell 20, i.e., the first wall 201. The two second contact surfaces 441 correspond to two second mating surfaces 522 and absorb heat conducted from the two second mating surfaces 522. 【0579】 Multiple second support members 450 are selectively installed inside the second heat exchange tube 440. 【0580】 The inner wall of the heat exchange cavity 401 defines the heat exchange space, and the multiple second support members 450 are installed within the heat exchange space and divide the heat exchange space into multiple flow channels 402. 【0581】 Selectively, the elastic modulus of the second support member 450 is greater than that of the compressible layer 500. 【0582】 In some embodiments, referring to Figures 65, 79, and 80, the reinforcing element 30 further includes a flow collector 106, the flow collector 106 includes a fluid cavity 1061, the fluid cavity 1061 communicates with a heat exchange cavity 401, and both the fluid cavity 1061 and the heat exchange cavity 401 are sealed and isolated from the compressible cavity 501. 【0583】 The flow concentrator 106 is a component that connects the heat exchange layer 400 to a container for storing the heat exchange medium. 【0584】 The fluid cavity 1061 is a cavity that connects the heat exchange cavity 401 and a container for storing the heat exchange medium within the flow concentrator 106. 【0585】 The flow collector 106 can be used to communicate with a container that stores the heat exchange medium, allowing the heat exchange medium in the heat exchange cavity 401 to flow through. The compressible cavity 501 and the heat exchange cavity 401 are not in communication, the heat exchange medium does not flow into the compressible cavity 501, and the compressible cavity 501 is deformed by the expansion force released from the battery cell 20, thus preventing the heat exchange medium from overflowing. 【0586】 Selectively, the flow concentrator 106 further includes a liquid inlet / outlet 1062, which communicates with the fluid cavity 1061. 【0587】 Selectively, the reinforcing element 30 includes one flow collector 106, which is installed at one end of the heat exchange layer 400, with one end of the heat exchange layer 400 being open, and the fluid cavity 1061 communicating with the heat exchange cavity 401 through the opening at one end. 【0588】 Selectively, the reinforcing element 30 includes two flow collectors 106, each of which is installed at both ends of the heat exchange layer 400, with both ends of the heat exchange layer 400 being open, and the two fluid cavities 1061 each communicating with the heat exchange cavity 401 through the openings at both ends. 【0589】 Selectively, the reinforcing element 30 further includes a connecting member, the connecting member having a hollow structure, the opening at one end of the connecting member being sealed and connected to the liquid inlet / outlet 1062. 【0590】 Referring to Figures 64 and 84, Figure 81 is a schematic diagram of the structure after assembly of the reinforcing element 30 and battery cell 20 according to some embodiments of the present application. When the reinforcing element 30 is applied to the battery 100, the reinforcing element 30 may be installed between two adjacent battery cells 20, and the two opposing surfaces of the reinforcing element 30 may each abut against two adjacent large surfaces of the two adjacent battery cells 20, and the reinforcing element 30 may be installed between the housing 10 and the battery cell 20 closest to the housing 10. 【0591】 Each reinforcing element 30 may be connected individually to a container for storing the heat exchange medium, or the liquid inlet / outlet 1062 of adjacent reinforcing elements 30 may be connected via piping 107. 【0592】 In some embodiments, referring to Figures 65 and 82, the heat exchange layer 400 and the compressible layer 500 are in the second direction y It is extended and arranged along the second direction of the compressible layer 500 y At least one end along this line protrudes from the heat exchange layer 400. 【0593】 The protrusion of the compressible layer 500 from the heat exchange layer 400 is advantageous because it seals and isolates the fluid cavity 1061 of the flow collector 106 from the compressible cavity 501, preventing the heat exchange medium from flowing into the compressible cavity 501 and avoiding deformation of the compressible cavity 501 due to the expansion force released from the battery cell, which would cause the heat exchange medium to overflow. 【0594】 Selectively, the compressible layer 500 is installed within the heat exchange cavity 401, and the flow collector 106 includes a through-hole that penetrates along the second direction y. The portion of the compressible layer 500 protruding from the heat exchange layer 400 passes through the through-hole and is sealed to one end of the through-hole, while the other end of the through-hole is sealed to the outer wall of the heat exchange layer 400. A fluid cavity 1061 is defined between the outer wall of the portion of the compressible layer 500 protruding from the heat exchange layer 400 and the inner wall of the flow collector 106. 【0595】 In some embodiments, selectively with reference to Figure 65, an intake port 502 and an exhaust port 503 are provided in the compressible cavity 501. 【0596】 The compressible layer 500 can be air-cooled via the intake port 502 and exhaust port 503, and, in combination with the heat exchange layer 400, further improves the heat exchange efficiency of the reinforcing element 30 with respect to the battery. 【0597】 In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 83 to 92, the reinforcing element 30 includes an outer case 50 and a support member 60, the support member 60 is housed within the outer case 50 and is used to define a cavity 30a and a deformable cavity 40a that are separated within the outer case 50, the cavity 30a is used to allow a heat exchange medium to flow, and the deformable cavity 40a is positioned so that the outer case 50 can deform when subjected to pressure. 【0598】 This allows the battery cell 20 to be heated or cooled via the heat exchange medium in the cavity 30a, and when the battery cell 20 inside the housing 10 expands during use, the outer case 50 has a deformation cavity 40a inside, so the outer case 50 can deform when subjected to the force of the battery cell 20, preventing the reaction force of the reinforcing element 30 on the outer case 50 against the battery cell 20 from being too large, thus enabling the assembly of the battery cell 20. public The differences are absorbed, preventing damage to the battery cell 20, reducing the reduction in the heat exchange area between the reinforcing element 30 and the battery cell 20, and improving the cycle characteristics of the battery cell 20. 【0599】 The reinforcing element 30 may be installed on the bottom or side of the housing, thereby making sufficient contact with the battery cell 20, or being installed between two adjacent battery cells 20. 【0600】 Both ends of the cavity 30a are open, allowing the heat exchange medium to flow through them. The heat exchange medium provides the cavity 30a with a certain strength and generally prevents compressive deformation. Both ends of the deformable cavity 40a are sealed, preventing the heat exchange medium from flowing into the deformable cavity 40a.
