[0041] In some optional embodiments, the housing 5 includes a first portion 51 and a second portion 52, which cover each other and together define a storage space 53 for accommodating the battery cells 7. The second portion 52 may be a hollow structure with one end open, and the first portion 51 may be a plate-like structure, with the first portion 51 covering the open side of the second portion 52, so that the first portion 51 and the second portion 52 together define the storage space 53. The first portion 51 and the second portion 52 may also be hollow structures with one end open, with the open side of the first portion 51 covering the open side of the second portion 52.

[0043] In some embodiments, the first portion 51 or the second portion 52 may include a frame and a cover plate, and the frame includes a plurality of beam structures.

[0044] In battery 2, there may be multiple battery cells 7, which may be connected in series, in parallel, or in a hybrid configuration. A hybrid configuration refers to a combination of series and parallel connections within the battery cells 7. Multiple battery cells 7 may be directly connected in series, in parallel, or in a hybrid configuration, and then the entire battery cell 7 is housed within the housing 5. Alternatively, battery 2 may be constructed by first connecting multiple battery cells 7 in series, in parallel, or in a hybrid configuration to form a battery module. The multiple battery modules are then connected in series, in parallel, or in a hybrid configuration to form a single unit, which is then housed within the housing 5. Battery 2 may also include other structures, such as a busbar assembly for electrically connecting the multiple battery cells 7.

[0045] Each battery cell 7 can be a secondary battery or a primary battery; it can also be a lithium-sulfur battery, a sodium-ion battery, or a magnesium-ion battery, but is not limited thereto. The battery cell 7 can be cylindrical, flat, rectangular, or in other shapes.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 3, which is a schematic diagram of the structure of a battery cell 7 provided in one embodiment of the present application. A battery cell 7 is the smallest unit that makes up a battery 2. As shown in Figure 3, a battery cell 7 includes a housing 40, an electrode assembly 10, and other functional components.

[0047] The housing 40 may include an end cap 30 and a shell 20. The end cap 30 is a component that covers the opening of the shell 20 to isolate the internal environment of the battery cell 7 from the external environment.

[0048] The electrode assembly 10 is a component in the battery cell 7 where electrochemical reactions occur. One or more electrode assemblies 10 may be contained in the housing 20. The electrode assembly 10 includes a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet, and a separator. During the charge and discharge process of the battery cell 7, active ions (such as lithium ions) are embedded and extracted back and forth between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet. The separator is arranged between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet, which can prevent the positive and negative electrodes from short-circuiting and allow active ions to pass through. In some embodiments, the battery cell 7 also includes an electrolyte, which plays a role in conducting ions between the positive and negative electrodes. This application does not have any specific restrictions on the type of electrolyte, and it can be selected according to needs. The electrolyte can be liquid, gel or solid.

[0049] In some embodiments, the electrode assembly 10 is a wound structure. Alternatively, the electrode assembly 10 is a laminated structure.

[0050] Some functional components also need to be provided in the battery, such as a connector, which is usually composed of two or more metal plugs that can be inserted into or connected to the positive and negative poles of the battery cell to transfer electrical energy in the circuit. The function of the battery connector is to stably and reliably connect the battery for use in electronic devices. The battery connector usually has a pluggable design, which can be easily inserted and removed from the battery without causing damage to the battery. There are also some functional components, such as the output pole base, which is used to install the output pole of the battery. The output pole is electrically connected to the positive pole of the battery cell to transmit the electrical energy of the battery cell to the outside. The above-mentioned functional components are usually provided on the battery casing. Specifically, in order to improve the strength and connection stability of the connection between the above-mentioned functional components and the casing, part of the functional components can be inserted into the support plate or heat exchange assembly of the casing. However, the sealing of the position where the above-mentioned components are connected to the heat exchange assembly is reduced, which increases the risk of leakage of the heat exchange assembly.

[0051] To address the aforementioned issues, the present application provides a housing in which a heat exchange assembly is provided to exchange heat between battery cells, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the battery cells and thereby enhancing their operational stability. An electrical connection assembly is provided to transmit electrical energy from the battery cells. Furthermore, a sealing assembly is provided around the electrical connection assembly to enhance the connection strength of the heat exchange assembly near the electrical connection assembly, improve the sealing performance of the heat exchange assembly, and thereby enhance the operational stability of the battery.

[0052] The following is a detailed description of the housing of an embodiment of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings. Please refer to Figures 4 to 7 . Figure 4 is a partial structural diagram of the housing of an embodiment of the present application, Figure 5 is an enlarged structural diagram of circle A in Figure 4 , Figure 6 is a structural diagram of section BB in Figure 4 , and Figure 7 is an enlarged structural diagram of circle C in Figure 6 .

[0053] As shown in the figure, the housing 5 of the embodiment of the present application includes a heat exchange assembly 6, an electrical connection assembly 8, and a sealing assembly 9. The heat exchange assembly 6 includes a first heat exchange plate 601 and a second heat exchange plate 602 arranged in a stacked manner. A heat exchange channel 603 is provided between the first heat exchange plate 601 and the second heat exchange plate 602. The heat exchange channel 603 is used to exchange heat with the battery cell 7. The electrical connection assembly 8 is connected to the heat exchange assembly 6 and is used to electrically connect to the battery cell 7. The sealing assembly 9 is arranged along the circumference of the electrical connection assembly 8. The seal passes through the thickness of the heat exchange assembly 6 and connects the first heat exchange plate 601 and the second heat exchange plate 602.

[0054] Optionally, the heat exchange channel 603 can be a concave groove formed by stamping a metal plate on the first heat exchange plate 601 or the second heat exchange plate 602, and a closed channel is formed by stacking and bonding the two. Therefore, good sealing performance needs to be formed between the first heat exchange plate 601 and the second heat exchange plate 602 to reduce the risk of leakage of the heat exchange medium in the heat exchange channel 603. The sealing component 9 can connect the first heat exchange plate 601 and the second heat exchange plate 602 using a combination of self-piercing riveting and sealant. Self-piercing riveting (SPR) is a cold connection process that uses rivets to penetrate two or more layers of plates of different materials for connection. This process uses components such as a hammer, a pressure ring, a die and a rivet to penetrate the rivet into the plate, so that the rivet forms a firm mechanical interlocking structure with the first heat exchange plate 601 and the second heat exchange plate 602.

[0055] In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, a heat exchange component 6 is provided to exchange heat with the battery cell 7, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the battery cell 7 and improving its operating stability. The connector 801 is used to transmit the electrical energy of the battery cell 7.

[0057] As shown in FIG7 , in some embodiments of the present application, the sealing nail 901 includes a nail cap 902 and a plurality of nail claws 903. The nail cap 902 is provided on the side of the heat exchange assembly 6 away from the battery cell 7. The plurality of nail claws 903 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the nail cap 902. The nail claws 903 penetrate the heat exchange assembly 6 along the thickness direction of the heat exchange assembly 6 to connect the first heat exchange plate 601 and the second heat exchange plate 602. The nail claws 903 and the nail cap 902 are an integrally formed structure. In the above technical solution, a plurality of nail claws 903 are provided to connect the first heat exchange plate 601 and the second heat exchange plate 602, thereby improving the connection strength between the first heat exchange plate 601 and the second heat exchange plate 602. The sealing performance of the heat exchange assembly 6 is improved. In addition, the integrally formed structure improves the manufacturing efficiency of the sealing nail 901, thereby improving the production efficiency of the battery 2.

The sealing assembly 9 connects the support plate 54 and the heat exchange assembly 6, thereby improving the strength of the connection between the support plate 54 and the heat exchange assembly 6 and the stability of the overall structure of the housing 5.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present application, the sealing assembly 9 further includes a sealing layer disposed between the heat exchange assembly 6 and the support plate 54. Exemplarily, the sealing layer includes a sealant. The provision of the sealing layer further improves the sealing performance between the support plate 54 and the heat exchange assembly 6.

[0060] As shown in Figures 6 and 7, in some embodiments of the present application, the housing 5 further includes a frame 55 and a first connector 56.
