[0073] The box 5 can include a first box 51 and a second box 52, the first box 51 and the second box 52 are mutually covered to define a containing space 53 for containing the battery cell 6. The first box 51 and the second box 52 can be various shapes, such as a cuboid, a cylinder, etc. The first box 51 can be a hollow structure with one side open, and the second box 52 can also be a hollow structure with one side open, and the open side of the second box 52 covers the open side of the first box 51, thereby forming the box 5 with the containing space 53.

[0077] The exhaust mechanism 8 can be a mechanism for discharging gas in the containing space 53 to the outside air, which is used for discharging the gas in the containing space 53 to the outside air at a faster flow rate to diffuse quickly.

In contrast, if the dimension A of the first slit 81 in the width direction is too large, for example, greater than 0.8 mm, the flow rate of the electrolyte vapor can decrease, which can easily condense to form smoke. If the dimension A of the first slit 81 in the width direction is too small, for example, less than 0.03 mm, the electrolyte vapor in the accommodation space can not be easily discharged, which can cause the pressure in the accommodation space to be too high, thereby causing safety problems.

In contrast, if the diameter R of the first circular hole 82 is too large, for example, greater than 0.8 mm, the flow rate of the electrolyte vapor can decrease, which can easily condense to form smoke. If the diameter R of the first circular hole 82 is too small, for example, less than 0.03 mm, the electrolyte vapor in the accommodation space can not be easily discharged, which can cause the pressure in the accommodation space to be too high, thereby causing safety problems.
[0081] In the above structure, since the exhaust mechanism forms the first slit 81 and / or the first circular hole 82 that exhausts the gas in the accommodation space to the external atmosphere, and the size A of the first slit 81 in the width direction is in the range of 0.03mm≤A≤0.8mm, and the diameter R of the first circular hole 82 is in the range of 0.03mm≤R≤0.8mm, so that the electrolyte vapor generated by the battery monomer 6 in the thermal runaway state can be adjusted to obtain a faster flow rate through the first slit 81 and / or the first circular hole 82 to evaporate quickly, not easy to condense to form smoke, which is beneficial to improve the use experience of the battery device.

By opening the first slit 81 on the first box wall 54, the first slit 81 communicates the external atmosphere with the accommodation space 53, so that the electrolyte vapor in the accommodation space 53 can quickly diffuse into the external air through the first slit 81, not easy to condense to form smoke, which is beneficial to improve the use experience of the battery device 2. Exemplarily, the exhaust mechanism 8 can also include a first circular hole 82 arranged on the first box wall 54, which communicates the external atmosphere with the accommodation space 53.
[0084] Exemplarily, referring to FIG. 8, a plurality of exhaust mechanisms 8 can be arranged in sequence along the flow direction of the electrolyte vapor on the exhaust path. In some embodiments, a plurality of first box walls 54 provided with the exhaust mechanism 8 can be arranged at intervals along the flow direction of the electrolyte vapor on the exhaust path, so that the electrolyte vapor in the accommodation space 53 can flow through the exhaust mechanism 8 on the plurality of first box walls 54 in sequence and be exhausted to the outside of the box 5.
[0085] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 9, the box 5 includes a first box wall 54, and in the state that the exhaust mechanism 8 includes a group of slits, the exhaust mechanism 8 includes a cover 83 and an exhaust hole 542 arranged on the first box wall 54, the cover 83 is connected to the first box wall 54 and is arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the exhaust hole 542 with the first box wall 54, and the first slit 81 is formed between the cover 83 and the first box wall 54, and the first slit 81 communicates with the accommodation space 53 through the exhaust hole 542.
[0086] The first tank wall 54 can be a wall structure in the tank body 5. The exhaust hole 542 can be a through hole structure formed on the first tank wall 54, which is used to communicate the accommodation space 53 with the ambient air. Referring to FIG. 10, the cover 83 can be a plate structure which is spaced apart from the first tank wall 54. The cover 83 is spaced apart from the first tank wall 54 along the axial direction of the exhaust hole 542 and is arranged opposite to the exhaust hole 542, so that the cover 83 and the first tank wall 54 form the first gap 81 which communicates with the exhaust hole 542, and the first gap 81 communicates with the accommodation space 53, so that the electrolyte vapor in the accommodation space 53 can diffuse into the ambient air through the exhaust hole 542 and the first gap 81.
[0087] Exemplarily, the cover 83 can be located in the accommodation space 53 and spaced apart from the first tank wall 54 along the axial direction of the exhaust hole 542; the cover 83 can also be located on the side of the first tank wall 54 away from the accommodation space 53 and spaced apart from the first tank wall 54 along the axial direction of the exhaust hole 542.
[0088] In some embodiments, the cover 83 can be opposite to the exhaust hole 542 along the axial direction of the exhaust hole 542, so that the first gap 81 is a cylindrical surface structure surrounding the exhaust hole 542, so that the first gap 81 can smoothly exhaust in each direction of the radial direction.
[0089] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 11, the exhaust mechanism 8 further comprises a valve seat 84, the cover 83 is connected to the first tank wall 54 through the valve seat 84, and the cover 83 is located on the side of the first tank wall 54 away from the accommodation space 53.
[0090] The valve seat 84 can be a component for connecting the cover 83 to the first tank wall 54, which enables the cover 83 to be stably connected to the first tank wall 54, and is conducive to maintaining the shape of the first gap 81 stable.
[0091] By arranging the cover 83 on the side of the first tank wall 54 away from the accommodation space 53, the electrolyte vapor exhausted from the accommodation space 53 can smoothly diffuse into the ambient air through the exhaust hole 542 and the first gap 81, which is conducive to improving the diffusion effect of the electrolyte vapor in the ambient air.
[0092] Exemplarily, the valve seat 84 can be welded to the side of the first tank wall 54 away from the accommodation space 53, or can be adhered to the side of the first tank wall 54 away from the accommodation space 53. Exemplarily, the valve seat 84 can also be connected to the side of the first tank wall 54 away from the accommodation space 53 through connecting bolts, connecting pins or other components.
[0093] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 12, the valve seat 84 comprises a seat body 841 connected to the first tank wall 54 away from the containing space 53 and formed with a communication cavity 8411 around the outer side of the exhaust hole 542, and a support body 842 connected to the seat body 841 and the cover body 83, the cover body 83 being arranged away from the first tank wall 54 and forming a first gap 81 with the seat body 841, the first gap 81 being communicated with the exhaust hole 542 through the communication cavity 8411.
[0094] The seat body 841 can be a main structure in the valve seat 84 for connecting to the first tank body 51 away from the containing space 53. The support body can be a structure in the valve seat 84 connected to the seat body 841 for connecting to the cover body 83 to support the cover body 83.
[0095] Since the seat body 841 is connected to the first tank body 51 away from the containing space 53, the cover body 83 is connected to the seat body 841 through the valve seat 84 and arranged away from the first tank wall 54, so that the cover body 83 forms a first gap 81 with the seat body 841. The seat body 841 is formed with a communication cavity 8411 with both ends open by being arranged around the outer side of the exhaust hole 542, one end of which is communicated with the containing space 53 through the exhaust hole 542, and the other end is communicated with the first gap 81, so that the communication cavity 8411 can lead the electrolyte vapor in the containing space 53 to the outside away from the containing space 53, which is conducive to better diffusion of the electrolyte vapor to the outside air away from the containing space 53.
[0096] In some embodiments, at least part of the support body 842 is located in the communication cavity 8411, and the support body 842 is connected to the inner wall surface of the communication cavity 8411 and the wall surface of the cover body 83 facing the seat body 841.
[0097] By arranging at least part of the support body 842 in the communication cavity 8411, the support body 842 is connected between the inner wall surface of the communication cavity 8411 and the wall surface of the cover body 83 facing the seat body 841, which is conducive to improving the utilization of space by the valve seat 84.
[0098] In some embodiments, the valve seat 84 and the cover body 83 are integrally formed.
[0099] The valve seat 84 and the cover body 83 being integrally formed can be that the valve seat 84 and the cover body 83 are made by an integral molding method such as injection molding, so that the valve seat 84 and the cover body 83 can be manufactured synchronously as a whole, which not only makes the valve seat 84 and the cover body 83 easy to process and manufacture, but also makes the overall structure of the valve seat 84 and the cover body 83 have good strength. Exemplarily, the valve seat 84 and the cover body 83 can also be made by a mechanical processing method such as milling by processing a whole blank.
[0100] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 13, in the case that the exhaust mechanism 8 comprises a set of slits, the exhaust mechanism 8 comprises a valve seat 84 having a seat body 841 connected to the box body 5, the seat body 841 having a communication cavity 8411 in communication with the accommodation space 53, a resilient member 85 connected between the cover body 83 and the seat body 841 and abutting the cover body 83 against the seat body 841; referring to FIG. 14, the resilient member 85 is configured to deform when the internal pressure of the accommodation space 53 reaches a threshold value, so as to move the cover body 83 and form a first slit 81 between the cover body 83 and the seat body 841 in communication with the communication cavity 8411.
[0101] The seat body 841 can be the seat body 841 in the valve seat 84 provided in the foregoing technical solutions, which is connected to the box body 5 and surrounds the communication cavity 8411, and the communication cavity 8411 is in communication with the accommodation space 53 through the exhaust hole 542 provided on the box body 5. The cover body 83 can be the cover body 83 provided in the foregoing technical solutions, which is arranged on the side of the seat body 841 away from the first box wall 54.
[0102] The resilient member 85 can be a component capable of abutting the cover body 83 against the seat body 841 by using the elastic restoring force of itself. The resilient member 85 is connected between the cover body 83 and the seat body 841, so that the cover body 83 can abut against the seat body 841, thereby achieving the covering of the opening of the communication cavity 8411 away from the accommodation space 53.
[0103] By configuring the resilient member 85 to elastically deform when the internal pressure of the accommodation space 53 reaches a threshold value, the cover body 83 can move when the internal pressure of the accommodation space 53 reaches the threshold value, so as to form a first slit 81 between the cover body 83 and the seat body 841 in communication with the communication cavity 8411, so that when the internal pressure of the accommodation space 53 reaches the threshold value, the electrolyte vapor in the accommodation space 53 can be discharged to the external air through the exhaust hole 542, the communication cavity 8411 and the first slit 81, thereby achieving the rapid diffusion of the external air.
[0104] In some embodiments, the valve seat 84 further comprises a support body 842, the support body 842 and the resilient member 85 are located in the communication cavity 8411, and the support body 842 is connected to the inner wall surface of the communication cavity 8411, and the resilient member 85 is connected between the support body 842 and the cover body 83.
[0105] The support body 842 can be the support body 842 in the valve seat 84 provided in the foregoing technical solutions, which is used for supporting the cover body 83. By connecting the resilient member 85 between the support body 842 and the cover body 83, the valve seat 84 can better support the cover body 83 through the support body 842. By arranging the support body 842 and the resilient member 85 in the communication cavity 8411, it is beneficial to improve the utilization rate of the space.
[0106] In some embodiments, the cover 83 moves and the first gap 81 is formed between the cover 83 and the seat 841 when the pressure difference between the internal pressure of the accommodation space 53 and the external atmospheric pressure is C, where 0.08 kPa≤C≤40 kPa.
[0107] When the pressure difference between the internal pressure of the accommodation space 53 and the external atmospheric pressure is C, for example, when at least one battery cell 6 in the accommodation space 53 is in thermal runaway and the explosion-proof valve opens to release pressure, the cover 83 is separated from the seat 841 under the action of the internal gas of the accommodation space 53 and moves away from the accommodation space 53, so that a gap is formed between the cover 83 and the seat 841 to form the first gap 81.
[0108] By moving the cover 83 and forming the first gap 81 between the cover 83 and the seat 841 when the pressure difference between the internal pressure of the accommodation space 53 and the external atmospheric pressure is C, the electrolyte vapor in the accommodation space 53 can be discharged from the first gap 81 at a faster flow rate under the action of the pressure difference, the electrolyte vapor diffuses faster, and can evaporate more quickly.
[0109] By setting the range of the pressure difference C to 0.08 kPa≤C≤40 kPa, the electrolyte vapor can be discharged from the first gap 81 at a faster flow rate under the action of the pressure difference, and the accommodation space 53 is less likely to experience severe gas retention, which is beneficial to reducing the possibility of swelling of the battery device 2.
[0110] In some embodiments, the range of the pressure difference C can be set to 0.1 kPa≤C≤30 kPa. For example, the pressure difference C between the internal pressure of the accommodation space 53 and the external atmospheric pressure can be 10 kPa, 20 kPa, or 25 kPa, which allows the electrolyte vapor to be discharged from the first gap 81 at a faster flow rate and reduces the possibility of severe gas retention in the accommodation space 53, which is beneficial to reducing the possibility of swelling of the battery device 2.
[0111] In some embodiments, the exhaust mechanism 8 further includes a limiting structure 86 connected to the seat 841, part of the limiting structure 86 is located on the side of the cover 83 away from the seat 841 and is spaced apart from the cover 83, and the limiting structure 86 can block the cover 83 separated from the seat 841.
[0112] The limiting structure 86 can be a structure for limiting the distance of the cover 83 from the seat body 841 in the exhaust mechanism 8. By connecting the limiting structure 86 to the seat body 841 and spacing part of the limiting structure 86 on the side of the cover 83 away from the seat body 841, the limiting structure 86 can block the cover 83 from being separated from the seat body 841 to limit the distance of the cover 83 from the seat body 841.
[0113] In some embodiments, the limiting structure 86 includes a connecting portion 861, an extending portion 862, and a blocking portion 863, the extending portion 862 is connected between the blocking portion 863 and the connecting portion 861, the connecting portion 861 is connected to the seat body 841, and the blocking portion 863 is located on the side of the cover 83 away from the seat body 841 to block the cover 83.
[0114] The connecting portion 861, the extending portion 862, and the blocking portion 863 are different parts of the limiting structure 86. The connecting portion 861 is connected to the seat body 841, the extending portion 862 is connected between the blocking portion 863 and the connecting portion 861, and the blocking portion 863 is located on the side of the cover 83 away from the seat body 841 to block the cover 863.
[0115] Exemplarily, the limiting structure 86 can be an integrally formed structure.

Exemplarily, the limiting structure 86 can also be manufactured by milling or other mechanical processing methods by processing a whole piece of blank.
[0117] In some embodiments, in the state where the cover 83 abuts against the seat body 841, the distance between the blocking portion 863 and the cover 83 along the arrangement direction of the cover 83 and the seat body 841 is A.
[0118] In the state where the cover 83 abuts against the seat body 841, by setting the distance between the blocking portion 863 and the cover 83 along the arrangement direction of the cover 83 and the seat body 841 as A, the distance of the blocking portion 863 from the seat body 841 can be limited to A, so that the cover 83 is separated from the seat body 841, and the first gap 81 formed between the seat bodies 841 has a width of A.
[0119] Exemplarily, in the case that the exhaust mechanism 8 comprises a set of slits, the size A of the first slit 81 in the width direction can be set to 0.05mm≤A≤0.5mm. Exemplarily, the size A of the first slit 81 in the width direction can be 0.2mm, 0.3mm or 0.4mm, so that the size of the first slit 81 in the width direction is small, so that a faster flow rate can be obtained when the electrolyte vapor is exhausted from the first slit 81, and the size of the first slit 81 in the width direction is sufficient, so that the electrolyte vapor is not easy to accumulate in the accommodation space 53 and can be more smoothly exhausted.
[0120] Exemplarily, in the case that the exhaust mechanism 8 comprises a set of circular holes, the diameter R of the first circular hole 82 can be set to 0.05mm≤R≤0.5mm. Exemplarily, the diameter R of the first circular hole 82 can be 0.2mm, 0.3mm or 0.4mm, so that the size of the first circular hole 82 in the width direction is small, so that a faster flow rate can be obtained when the electrolyte vapor is exhausted from the first slit 81, and the size of the first circular hole 82 in the width direction is sufficient, so that the electrolyte vapor is not easy to accumulate in the accommodation space 53 and can be more smoothly exhausted.
[0121] In some embodiments, with continued reference to FIGS. 4 and 5, a protruding structure 811 is provided at the first slit 81.
[0122] The protruding structure 811 can be a structure protruding from the edge of the first slit 81 to the inside of the first slit 81. By providing the protruding structure 811 at the first slit 81, the airflow is more likely to form turbulence when flowing out of the first slit 81, which is conducive to improving the diffusivity of the electrolyte vapor, so that the electrolyte vapor can evaporate more quickly, and the electrolyte vapor is less likely to form smoke when exhausted from the first slit 81.
[0123] Exemplarily, the cross-sectional shape of the protruding structure 811 can be rectangular, triangular or circular arc-shaped.
[0124] In some embodiments, with reference to FIG. 15, the box 5 comprises a first box wall 54 and a second box wall 55, the second box wall 55 surrounds the accommodation space 53, and the first box wall 54 is connected to the second box wall 55 and surrounds the exhaust space with the second box wall 55; the battery device 2 further comprises a pressure relief mechanism 9, the pressure relief mechanism 9 is provided on the second box wall 55, in the closed state, the pressure relief mechanism 9 is used to maintain the waterproof seal of the accommodation space 53, and when the internal pressure of the accommodation space exceeds a preset pressure value, the pressure relief mechanism 9 is opened and the accommodation space 53 is communicated with the exhaust space, and the exhaust mechanism 8 is provided on the first box wall 54.

The second box wall 55 can be a wall body for enclosing the accommodating space 53 for accommodating the battery cells 6, and the first box wall 54 is connected to the second box wall 55 and encloses the exhaust space with the second box wall 55. By arranging the pressure relief mechanism 9 on the second box wall 55 and arranging the exhaust mechanism 8 on the first box wall 54, the exhaust mechanism 8 can be communicated with the accommodating space 53 through the exhaust space, the pressure relief mechanism 9 in the state that the pressure relief mechanism 9 is opened, so that the electrolyte vapor in the accommodating space 53 can enter the external air in sequence through the pressure relief mechanism 9, the exhaust space and the exhaust mechanism 8.
[0126] The pressure relief mechanism 9 can be a mechanism arranged on the second box wall 55 for relieving the internal pressure of the accommodating space 53, for example, a one-way valve, a balance valve, etc. When the internal pressure of the accommodating space 53 reaches or exceeds a preset value, the pressure relief mechanism 9 can reduce the internal pressure of the accommodating space 53 by relieving the internal substances of the accommodating space 53 to the outside of the accommodating space 53.
[0127] By arranging the exhaust mechanism 8 on the first box wall 54 outside the second box wall 55 and arranging the pressure relief mechanism 9 on the second box wall 55, the arrangement of the exhaust mechanism 8 on the first box wall 54 does not affect the waterproof sealing of the accommodating space 53 enclosed by the second box wall 55.
[0128] Exemplarily, the first box wall 54 provided with the exhaust mechanism 8 can be spaced apart and provided with a plurality of first box walls 54 provided with the exhaust mechanism 8 outside the second box wall 55 provided with the pressure relief mechanism 9.
[0129] In some embodiments, in the state that the exhaust mechanism 8 includes a group of first slits 81, the total cross-sectional area of the group of first slits 81 is B, 30mm 2 ≤B≤100mm 2 .
[0130] By setting the range of the total area B of all the first slits 81 in the group of slits to 30mm 2 ≤B≤100mm 2 , the electrolyte vapor is not easy to accumulate in the accommodating space 53 due to the too small total area of the group of first slits 81, and can be more smoothly discharged; and the group of first slits 81 is not easy to reduce the speed of discharging the electrolyte vapor due to the too large total area. The total area B of the group of first slits 81 can be set to 50mm 2 , 60mm 2 or 80mm 2, so that the electrolyte vapor is not easily accumulated in the accommodation space 53 due to the small total area of the first slits 81, and can be smoothly discharged, and the first slits 81 are not easily caused to reduce the speed of discharging the electrolyte vapor due to the large total area.
[0131] In some embodiments, in the case where the exhaust mechanism 8 includes a group of first circular holes 82, the total cross-sectional area of the group of first circular holes 82 is D, 30mm 2 ≤D≤100mm 2 .

The total cross-sectional area D of the group of first circular holes 82 can be set to 50mm 2 , 60mm 2 or 80mm2, so that the electrolyte vapor is not easily accumulated in the accommodation space 53 due to the small total area of the first circular holes 82, and can be smoothly discharged, and the first circular holes 82 are not easily caused to reduce the speed of discharging the electrolyte vapor due to the large total area.
[0133] In some embodiments, in the case where the exhaust mechanism 8 includes a group of slits, a plurality of first slits 81 are provided and are arranged at intervals.
[0134] Arranging a plurality of first slits 81 at intervals on the box 5 of the battery device 2 can mean that the total area of the group of slits is inconveniently divided into a plurality of intervals, which makes the distribution of the first slits 81 more dispersed, and is beneficial to improve the uniformity of exhaust.
[0135] In some embodiments, in the case where the exhaust mechanism 8 includes a group of circular holes, a plurality of first circular holes 82 are provided and are arranged at intervals.
