The pole portion is entirely arranged outside the mounting hole, or part of the pole portion is arranged outside the mounting hole and part of the pole portion extends into the shell through the mounting hole to cooperate with the shell; and the pole portion is electrically connected with the electrode assembly.
[0068] In the embodiments of the present application, the pole portion is entirely arranged outside the mounting hole, which facilitates the assembly of the pole portion and the shell, simplifies the manufacturing process, and improves the connection reliability and stability of the pole portion and the shell, so that the pole portion and the shell are not easily separated from each other or cracked or damaged due to vibration or external pulling during the charging and discharging process of the battery monomer.

[0172] Please refer to FIG. 2, which is an exploded view of the battery device 100 according to some embodiments of the present application. The battery device 100 includes a box 10 and a battery cell 20, and the battery cell 20 is contained in the box 10. The box 10 is used to provide a battery compartment 15 for the battery cell 20, and the box 10 can have various structures. In some embodiments, the box 10 can include a first part 11 (i.e., the upper cover of the box) and a second part 12, and the first part 11 and the second part 12 are covered with each other to jointly define the battery compartment 15 for containing the battery cell 20. The second part 12 can be a hollow structure with one end open, and the first part 11 can be a plate structure, which is covered on the open side of the second part 12 to jointly define the battery compartment 15 with the second part 12.

Of course, the box 10 formed by the first part 11 and the second part 12 can have various shapes, such as a cylinder, a cuboid, etc.
[0173] In the battery device 100, the battery cell 20 can be multiple, and the multiple battery cells 20 can be connected in series, in parallel, or in a mixed connection, where the mixed connection means that some of the multiple battery cells 20 are connected in series and some are connected in parallel.

The battery device 100 can also include other structures, for example, the battery device 100 can also include a current collecting component (an electrical connection column) for realizing the electrical connection between the multiple battery cells 20.
[0174] Please refer to FIG. 3, which is an exploded structural schematic diagram of the battery cell 20 according to some embodiments of the present application. The battery cell 20 refers to the smallest unit that constitutes the battery device 100.
[0175] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to FIGS. 4-7, the present application provides a battery device 100 comprising a plurality of battery cells 20 and a plurality of electric connection posts 30, wherein the plurality of battery cells 20 are arranged along a first direction, and each battery cell 20 is provided with a pole post part 21; in the first direction, each electric connection post 30 is inserted into the pole post parts 21 of two adjacent battery cells 20 to electrically connect the two adjacent battery cells 20.
[0176] Optionally, in FIGS. 4-7, the first direction is the front-rear direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the left-right direction and the up-down direction. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the first direction is not limited to the front-rear direction. FIG. 5 is a structural schematic diagram of the battery cell and the electric connection post in the left view angle according to some embodiments of the present application; FIG. 6 is a structural schematic diagram of the battery cell and the electric connection post in the top view angle according to some embodiments of the present application; in FIGS. 4-7, the dotted line indicates the perspective structure.
[0177] Specifically, the electric connection post 30 is inserted into the pole post parts 21 of two battery cells 20 on both sides along the first direction, that is, two adjacent battery cells 20 along the first direction are inserted into both sides of the same electric connection post 30 to achieve the electrical connection of the two battery cells 20. The electric connection post 30 and the pole post part 21 are matched in shape and size. For example, the pole post part 21 is in a strip shape, and the electric connection post 30 is in a strip structure matched with the size of the pole post part 21. The electric connection post 30 and the pole post can be connected in a mortise and tenon type insertion manner.
[0178] Optionally, the pole post part 21 is arranged at the end of the battery cell 20, for example, the pole post part 21 can be arranged at any end of the battery cell 20 in the up-down direction, the left-right direction, the front-rear direction, etc. as shown in the figure. The pole post part 21 can output the positive pole or the negative pole of the battery cell 20. The pole post parts 21 outputting the positive pole and the negative pole can be arranged on both sides of the battery cell 20 along the first direction. In other examples, the pole post parts 21 outputting the positive pole and the negative pole can also be arranged on the same side surface of the battery cell 20.
[0179] For example, referring to FIGS. 8 and 14, two pole post parts 21 are arranged on the front surface and the rear surface of the battery cell 20 along the first direction. In this embodiment, the pole post part 21 arranged on the front surface of the battery cell 20 can form a positive pole post or a negative pole post, and the pole post part 21 arranged on the rear surface of the battery cell 20 is opposite in polarity to the pole post part 21 arranged on the front surface. Thus, referring to FIGS. 4 and 12, two battery cells 20 connected by the electric connection post 30 and the pole post part 21 along the front-rear direction can be connected in series.
[0180] Optionally, the pole portions 21 are arranged on the front and back surfaces of the battery monomers 20 opposite in the first direction, and the pole portions 21 are arranged close to at least one side edge of the front and back surfaces of the battery monomers 20. For example, two pole portions 21 are arranged on the upper side edges of the front and back surfaces of the battery monomers 20 respectively. For another example, the pole portions 21 can be arranged on two or more side edges different from the front and back surfaces.
[0181] In some other embodiments, the number of the pole portions 21 can also be more than two.
[0182] Optionally, the pole portions 21 of two battery monomers 20 adjacent in the first direction are arranged opposite in the first direction. The plurality of battery monomers 20 are sequentially connected in the first direction by the plurality of electric connection columns 30.
[0183] Optionally, the electric connection column 30 is made of metal material with good electrical conductivity.
[0184] In the technical scheme of the embodiments, on the one hand, the electrical connection of the two battery monomers 20 is realized by the insertion of the two battery monomers 20 and the electric connection column 30, which replaces the connection mode of welding the copper bar with the pole portions 21 of the adjacent battery monomers 20 to realize the electrical connection of the battery monomers 20, so as to improve the defects such as virtual welding and burst hole caused by the welding of the copper bar and the pole portions 21, thereby improving the reliability of the electrical connection between the battery monomers 20. On the other hand, the pole portions 21 of the adjacent battery monomers 20 are connected by the electric connection column 30, which, compared with the direct insertion of the pole portions 21 of the adjacent battery monomers 20, not only can unify and standardize the shape of each pole portion 21 to ensure the manufacturing efficiency of the pole portions 21, but also can facilitate the adjustment of the distance between the adjacent battery monomers 20 through the intermediate electric connection column 30 to adapt to the expansion of the battery monomers 20, thereby further improving the reliability of the electrical connection between the battery monomers 20. In addition, the electric connection column 30 is inserted with the pole portions 21 to form the electronic path of the battery device 100, which can reduce the welding of the pole of the battery monomer 20, so that the battery monomer 20 can be disassembled and replaced, and the maintainability is higher.
[0185] Referring to FIGS. 7-10, in some embodiments, the pole portion 21 is formed with a first insertion slot 211, the electric connection column 30 is formed with a first insertion portion 31, and at least part of the first insertion portion 31 is inserted into the first insertion slot 211 to be electrically connected and matched with the first insertion slot 211.
[0186] Optionally, the pole portion 21 can form the first insertion slot 211 with a cross section in the shape of a circle, an ellipse, a triangle, a square, a polygon, a racetrack or other irregular shape. Optionally, the cross-sectional shape of the first insertion portion 31 is a circle, an ellipse, a triangle, a square, a polygon, a racetrack or other irregular shape adapted to the first insertion slot 211.
[0187] Optionally, the pole column part 21 extends along the length direction of the side of the battery monomer 20 close to itself, forming a long strip shape. The electric connection column 30 is a column close in length to the pole column part 21. Further, the first plug-in slot 211 and the first plug-in part 31 both extend along the length direction of the pole column part 21, forming a long strip shape. Such a setting increases the connection area, which is particularly beneficial to dispersing stress in the length direction of the side of the battery monomer 20, ensuring the structural stability of the connection between the pole column part 21 and the electric connection column 30.
[0188] Optionally, the electric connection column 30 can also be a short and thick column or other composite structure. The shape and size of the first plug-in part 31 are adapted to the shape and size of the electric connection column 30.
[0189] Optionally, the pole column part 21 includes a pole column seat 22, and the first plug-in slot 211 is recessed towards the inside of the battery monomer 20 relative to the pole column seat 22. Optionally, the first plug-in slot 211 includes a slot bottom surface 2112 and a slot inner circumferential surface 2113, the slot bottom surface 2112 being the deepest part of the first plug-in slot 211 in the recess direction, and the slot inner circumferential surface 2113 being connectable to the pole column seat 22 and the slot bottom surface 2112. Further, the first plug-in slot 211 is recessed in the first direction, and the slot bottom surfaces 2112 of the two first plug-in slots 211 located on the front and back sides of the battery monomer 20 face each other in the first direction, and the slot inner circumferential surfaces 2113 surround the first plug-in slot 211 in the up-down direction and the left-right direction.
[0190] The first plug-in part 31 is a protruding structure adapted to the first plug-in slot 211. The first plug-in part 31 is inserted into the first plug-in slot 211, and the top end of the first plug-in part 31 in the first direction is accommodated in the first plug-in slot 211, and the end surface thereof can abut against the slot bottom surface 2112.
[0191] In the embodiments of the present application, the electrical connection between the pole column part 21 and the electric connection column 30 is achieved by inserting the first plug-in part 31 into the first plug-in slot 211, which is relatively simple to operate and relatively stable in connection. At the same time, the two battery monomers 20 that have completed electrical connection can be exempted from welding cooperation, thereby avoiding the problem that the electrode assembly is easily damaged when the pole column part 21 is disassembled at the welding position.
[0192] In some embodiments, the pole column part 21 protrudes from the surface of the battery monomer 20, and the part protruding from the pole column part 21 is formed with the first plug-in slot 211 recessed towards the inside of the battery monomer 20.
[0193] Referring to FIGS. 8-10, in other embodiments, the first plug-in slot 211 is recessed towards the inside of the battery monomer 20 at the surface of the battery monomer 20.
[0194] For the convenience of description, the inner side and the outer side of the battery monomer 20 are distinguished by the surface of the battery monomer 20 where the pole post part 21 is located. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the pole post part 21 protrudes from the surface of the battery monomer 20 and is at least partially located on the outer side of the battery monomer 20. The pole post seat 22 is located on the outer side of the battery monomer 20 and at a distance from the surface of the battery monomer 20, the groove bottom surface 2112 of the first plug-in slot 211 can be located on the inner side of the battery monomer 20, and the groove inner peripheral surface 2113 of the first plug-in slot 211 is partially located on the inner side of the battery monomer 20 and partially located on the outer side of the battery monomer 20; the groove bottom surface 2112 can also be located on the outer side of the battery monomer 20, and the groove inner peripheral surface 2113 is entirely located on the outer side of the battery monomer 20.
[0195] In the embodiments of the present application, the pole post part 21 protrudes from the surface of the battery monomer 20, thereby reducing the influence of damage to the pole post part 21 on the internal electrode assembly and other structures of the battery monomer 20. In addition, in the case where the pole post part 21 is formed separately from the battery monomer 20, it is convenient to manufacture and assemble.
[0196] Alternatively, in other embodiments, as shown in FIG. 10, the pole post seat 22 is connected to the surface of the battery monomer 20, and the groove bottom surface 2112 and the groove inner peripheral surface 2113 of the first plug-in slot 211 are both located inside the battery monomer 20.
[0197] In the embodiments of the present application, the first plug-in slot 211 is recessed from the surface of the battery monomer 20 to the inside of the battery monomer 20, so that the electric connection column 30 is directly inserted into the inner side of the surface of the battery monomer 20, the pole post part 21 is not easy to deform in the case of collision, extrusion, pulling and the like, and the plug-in structure of the first plug-in slot 211 and the electric connection column 30 is relatively stable.
[0198] Referring to FIGS. 4-7, in some embodiments, both of the pole post parts 21 directly electrically connected by the electric connection column 30 are formed with the first plug-in slot 211; the electric connection column 30 is formed with the first plug-in part 31 on both sides along the first direction; and the electric connection column 30 is respectively plugged with the first plug-in slot 211 at the corresponding positions on both sides along the first direction. As shown in FIGS. 4-7, the first direction is the front-rear direction.
[0199] Specifically, in combination with FIG. 11, the electrical connecting column 30 includes a front end surface and a rear end surface opposite in the first direction, the front end surface being an end surface of the first plug-in part 31 on the front side of the electrical connecting column 30, and the rear end surface being an end surface of the first plug-in part 31 on the rear side of the electrical connecting column 30. The front end surface is accommodated in the first plug-in groove 211 on the front side of the electrical connecting column 30, and the rear end surface is accommodated in the first plug-in groove 211 on the rear side, and the front end surface of the first plug-in part 31 abuts against the groove bottom surface 2112 of the first plug-in groove 211 in front of the electrical connecting column 30, and the rear end surface of the first plug-in part 31 abuts against the groove bottom surface 2112 of the first plug-in groove 211 behind the electrical connecting column 30. Thus, among the plurality of battery monomers 20 arranged in the first direction, one electrical connecting column 30 is inserted between every two battery monomers 20, and the plurality of battery monomers 20 are sequentially connected front and back by the electrical connecting column 30, which is less in number than the battery monomers 20.
[0200] The peripheral surface of the first plug-in groove 211 can be in contact with the inner peripheral surface 2113 of the first plug-in groove 211, thereby increasing the electrical connection area and improving the overcurrent capacity.
[0201] Both of the two pole column parts 21 directly connected by the electrical connecting column 30 are formed with the first plug-in groove 211, and the electrical connecting column 30 is formed with the first plug-in part 31 on both sides in the first direction, and the electrical connecting column 30 is plugged into the first plug-in groove 211 on both sides in the first direction, respectively, so that the plurality of battery monomers 20 are sequentially connected in the first direction by being plugged into the electrical connecting column 30, and the connection reliability is high, and it is relatively convenient to disassemble and maintain.
[0202] Referring to FIG. 11, in some embodiments, the electrical connecting column 30 includes a body part 32 and a connecting part 33 connected to both sides of the body part 32, and the two connecting parts 33 each form a first plug-in part 31.
[0203] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, the first direction is the front-rear direction, and the two connecting parts 33 respectively protrude from the end surface of the body part 32 on both sides of the body part 32 in the first direction. Alternatively, one connecting part 33 is arranged on the front surface of the body part 32, and one connecting part 33 is arranged on the rear surface of the body part 32. The end surface of the connecting part 33 away from the body part 32 in the first direction abuts against the groove bottom surface 2112 of the first plug-in groove 211.
[0204] Optionally, in combination with FIG. 7, the dashed line in FIG. 7 indicates a perspective structure. The connecting portion 33 can be fully inserted into the first insertion slot 211 in the first direction, the connecting portion 33 (i.e., the first insertion portion 31) is accommodated in the first insertion slot 211, and the body portion 32 is exposed outside the first insertion slot 211. The body portion 32 is located between the two pole column portions 21 to which the electric connecting column 30 is inserted, and the thickness of the body portion 32 in the first direction can be approximately regarded as the distance between the two adjacent and insertion-connected battery monomers 20 along the first direction. Optionally, the connecting portion 33 can be partially inserted into the first insertion slot 211 in the first direction, and the end of the body portion 32 and the connecting portion 33 connected to the body portion 32 is exposed outside the first insertion slot 211.
[0205] The body portion 32 can be a cylinder, a cuboid, a square, a flat body, or other irregular blocks.
[0206] For example, referring to FIG. 11, the first direction is the front-rear direction, which is also the thickness direction of the body portion 32, and the left-right direction is the length extension direction of the body portion 32. The body portion 32 is a long and flat columnar structure, and the cross section of the body portion 32 along the left-right direction is an elongated racetrack shape. In this embodiment, the cross section of the connecting portion 33 along the left-right direction can match the cross section shape and size of the body portion 32, and the cross section of the connecting portion 33 can be a racetrack shape slightly smaller than the cross section of the body portion 32. The cross section size of the body portion 32 in the left-right direction is slightly larger than the cross section size of the connecting portion 33, which is beneficial to increase the flow area of the electric connecting column 30 and reduce the flow impedance.
[0207] In the embodiments of the present application, the electric connecting column 30 includes the body portion 32 and the connecting portions 33 connected to both sides of the body portion 32, and each of the two connecting portions 33 forms a first insertion portion 31. When the first insertion portions 31 on both sides of the electric connecting column 30 are respectively inserted with the pole column portions 21 of the two battery monomers 20, the body portion 32 improves the strength of the electric connecting column 30 itself and improves the mechanical properties such as compression resistance, tensile resistance, impact resistance, extrusion resistance, and wear resistance of the insertion structure.
[0208] Referring to FIGS. 7 and 11, in some embodiments, at least one of the first insertion slot 211 and the first insertion portion 31 is connected with an elastic member 23, which is elastically abutted between the slot wall of the first insertion slot 211 and the outer periphery of the first insertion portion 31 to prevent the first insertion portion 31 from being separated from the first insertion slot 211. The slot wall of the first insertion slot 211 includes the above-mentioned slot bottom surface 2112 and the slot inner periphery surface 2113.
[0209] Optionally, the elastic member 23 is arranged on the electric connection column 30, and at least one end of the elastic member 23 is fixedly connected with the first plug-in part 31. Further, the elastic member 23 is connected on the peripheral surface of the first plug-in part 31. The first plug-in part 31 is inserted into the first plug-in slot 211, and the elastic member 23 is extruded to generate elastic deformation and can provide elastic force to abut against the inner peripheral surface 2113 of the first plug-in slot 211.
[0210] Optionally, the elastic member 23 is arranged in the pole column part 21 and can be located on the slot bottom surface 2112 and / or the inner peripheral surface 2113 of the first plug-in slot 211. For example, the elastic member 23 is arranged only on the inner peripheral surface 2113 of the first plug-in slot 211, and is extruded by the first plug-in part 31 when the first connection part 33 is inserted into the first plug-in slot 211 to elastically abut against the outer peripheral surface of the first plug-in part 31.
[0211] Optionally, the elastic member 23 is arranged on both the first plug-in slot 211 and the first plug-in part 31, and the elastic member 23 on the first plug-in slot 211 and the elastic member 23 on the first plug-in part 31 can be arranged in a staggered manner.
[0212] In the embodiments of the present application, the elastic member 23 elastically abuts between the slot wall of the first plug-in slot 211 and the outer peripheral surface of the first plug-in part 31 to prevent the first plug-in part 31 from being separated from the first plug-in slot 211, so that the elastic member 23 can maintain sufficient contact between the electric connection column 30 and the pole column part 21 under static and dynamic conditions such as vibration impact, thereby improving the reliability of the electrical connection between the battery monomers 20.
[0213] Referring to FIGS. 7 and 11, in some embodiments, the connecting direction of the two pole column parts 21 is the first direction, and the elastic member 23 is arranged in an arch shape in the second direction, and the second direction forms an angle with the first direction.
[0214] Specifically, as shown in the second direction, the elastic member 23 can be arranged on the upper surface and / or the lower surface of the first plug-in part 31, and the elastic member 23 can also be arranged on the upper and lower opposite slot walls of the first plug-in slot 211, and the elastic member 23 can be arranged in an arch shape upward or downward relative to the wall surface where the elastic member 23 is located. For example, the elastic member 23 is arranged on the upper surface and the lower surface of the first plug-in part 31, and the elastic member 23 is arranged in an arch shape upward relative to the upper surface of the first plug-in part 31 or in an arch shape downward relative to the lower surface of the first plug-in part 31 in a relaxed state.
[0215] It can be understood that the height of the elastic member 23 arching in the second direction when the electrical connecting post 30 is separated from the pole post part 21 is greater than the gap width when the peripheral surface of the first plug-in part 31 is plugged with the slot wall of the first plug-in slot 211. When the first plug-in part 31 is inserted into the first plug-in slot 211 in the first direction, the slot wall of the first plug-in slot 211 presses the part of the elastic member 23 arching on the first plug-in part 31, or the outer peripheral surface of the first plug-in part 31 presses the part of the elastic member 23 arching on the first plug-in slot 211, the elastic member 23 is deformed so that the arching part is pressed down, abuts against the slot wall (or the outer peripheral surface of the first plug-in part 31) of the first plug-in slot 211 and exerts an elastic force on the abutting wall surface.
[0216] Optionally, the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other, and the elastic force exerted by the elastic member 23 in the second direction is used to the greatest extent to prevent the first plug-in part 31 from being pulled out of the first plug-in slot 211.
[0217] In the embodiments of the present application, the connecting direction of the two pole post parts 21 is the first direction, the elastic member 23 is arranged to arch in the second direction, and the second direction forms an angle with the first direction, so that when the first plug-in part 31 is inserted into the first plug-in slot 211, the arching part of the elastic member 23 is deformed to be pressed down, and an elastic force in the second direction is exerted between the slot wall of the first plug-in slot 211 and the outer peripheral surface of the first plug-in part 31, so as to separate the two pole post parts 21 from the electrical connecting post 30.
[0218] Referring to FIGS. 7 and 11, in some embodiments, the elastic member 23 includes a first end 231 and a second end 232 fixed to the first plug-in part 31, and a deformed part 233 between the first end 231 and the second end 232, the first end 231 and the second end 232 are opposite in the first direction, the deformed part 233 is separated from the surface of the first plug-in part 31 and arches in the second direction, and the elastic member 23 is configured to deform close to the surface of the first plug-in part 31 during the engagement of the first plug-in part 31 and the first plug-in slot 211.
[0219] Optionally, the elastic member 23 is in a strip structure, and the first end 231 and the second end 232 are two ends in the length direction of the elastic member 23. The first end 231 and the second end 232 are fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the first plug-in part 31, the first end 231 can be fixed to the root part where the connecting part 33 meets the main body 261, and the second end 232 can be fixed to the top end of the connecting part 33 in the first direction. It can be understood that the distance between the first end 231 and the second end 232 is less than the length of the elastic member 23 in the relaxed state, and the deformed part 233 arches relative to the outer peripheral surface of the first plug-in part 31.
[0220] Optionally, the elastic member 23 can also be a sheet-shaped, thin plate-shaped, solid or hollow spherical, hemispherical, conical structure or other irregular structure with two ends fixed and a protruding middle part. The elastic member 23 can be a spring, a spring, an elastic band, etc.
[0221] In the process of inserting the first insertion part 31 into the first insertion slot 211, the second end 232, the deformation part 233 and the first end 231 enter the first insertion slot 211 in sequence. Since the gap between the slot wall of the first insertion slot 211 and the first insertion part 31 is small, the first insertion slot 211 presses the deformation part 233 towards the peripheral surface of the first insertion part 31. The deformation part 233 deforms and generates an elastic force resisting the deformation trend, supporting and pressing the slot wall of the first insertion slot 211.
[0222] In the embodiments of the present application, by fixing the first end 231 and the second end 232 with the first insertion part 31, the deformation part 233 is separated from the first insertion part 31 and arches, so that the deformation part 233 is compressed and deformed in the process of engaging the first insertion part 31 with the first insertion slot 211, and the first end 231 and the second end 232 can fix the overall position of the elastic member 23, so that the deformation part 233 can stably resist the wall surface of the first insertion slot 211, prevent the first insertion part 31 from being pulled out of the first insertion slot 211, and ensure the reliable insertion of the electric connection column 30 and the pole part 21.
[0223] Referring to FIG. 7, in some embodiments, the slot wall of the first insertion slot 211 has a limiting hole 2114 matched with the deformation part 233. When the first insertion part 31 is inserted into the first insertion slot 211, at least part of the deformation part 233 extends into the limiting hole 2114 and abuts against the hole wall.
[0224] Optionally, the limiting hole 2114 is recessed in the slot wall of the first insertion slot 211 in the second direction, and the recessed depth of the limiting hole 2114 at both ends in the first direction is obviously smaller than the recessed depth in the middle.
[0225] Optionally, the maximum recessed depth of the limiting hole 2114 in the first direction is smaller than the height of the arching of the deformation part 233 in the state of disengaging from the first insertion slot 211, so that the deformation part 233 can be extruded by the hole wall to deform when extending into the limiting hole 2114.
[0226] Optionally, a plurality of elastic members 23 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the first insertion part 31 on the peripheral surface of the first insertion part 31, and correspondingly, a plurality of limiting holes 2114 are arranged at intervals on the slot wall of the first insertion slot 211 in the direction surrounding the first insertion slot 211. The limiting hole 2114 corresponds to the number and position of the elastic member 23 one by one.
[0227] In the embodiments of the present application, the slot wall of the first plug-in slot 211 has a limiting hole 2114 matched with the deformed part 233. When the first plug-in part 31 is plugged into the first plug-in slot 211, at least part of the deformed part 233 extends into the limiting hole 2114 and abuts against the hole wall, thereby increasing the contact area when the first plug-in part 31 is plugged into the first plug-in slot 211, and further increasing the overcurrent area of the electrical connection column 30 and the pole column part 21. At the same time, the deformed part 233 and the limiting hole 2114 are engaged, which also improves the reliability of the first plug-in part 31 and the first plug-in slot 211.

[0229] Specifically, the connecting part 33 on both sides of the body part 32 is formed with a flow guide groove 331, and the flow guide groove 331 is formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the connecting part 33. The glue injection hole 321 is formed on the surface of the body part 32 exposed outside the battery monomer 20 in the connected state of the body part 32 and the battery monomer 20.
[0230] Optionally, the upper surface of the body part 32 is formed with a glue injection hole 321, and the glue injection hole 321 extends from the upper surface of the body part 32 to the flow guide grooves 331 on the front and rear sides.

In the embodiments of the present application, the conductive glue can be injected through the glue injection hole 321 exposed outside the battery monomer 20 after the electrical connection column 30 and the battery monomer 20 are assembled, which is convenient to operate.
[0232] Optionally, the flow guide groove 331 is a small straight groove, and the flow guide groove 331 extends from the root of the connecting part 33 connected with the body part 32 to the end surface of the connecting part 33 away from the body part 32.

[0235] Referring to FIG. 11, in some embodiments, one glue injection hole 321 communicates with at least two flow guide grooves 331 located on both sides thereof.
[0236] Specifically, the number of glue injection holes 321 is at least one, and in the case that there is only one glue injection hole 321, the glue injection hole 321 communicates with all the flow guide grooves 331.
[0237] Alternatively, the number of glue injection holes 321 is multiple, and the multiple glue injection holes 321 can be arranged in a row along the length direction of the body part 32. Alternatively, since the body part 32 is relatively flat, the multiple glue injection holes 321 can be arranged in a row along the length direction of the body part 32. Alternatively, in order to reduce the flow distance of the conductive glue, each glue injection hole 321 can be aligned with and communicate with one flow guide groove 331 on the left and one flow guide groove 331 on the right, respectively.
[0238] In the embodiments of the present application, by communicating the glue injection hole 321 with at least two flow guide grooves 331 located on both sides thereof, it is ensured that each flow guide groove 331 can be fully filled with conductive glue, thereby improving the glue injection efficiency.
[0239] Referring to FIG. 11, in some embodiments, the electric connection column 30 includes the body part 32 and the connecting part 33 connected to both sides of the body part 32, and each of the two connecting parts 33 forms one first plug-in part 31; a plurality of elastic members 23 are arranged on each first plug-in part 31.

On each connecting part 33, the elastic members 23 are arranged in a row along the circumference of the connecting part 33 (i.e., the first plug-in part 31).
[0241] Alternatively, along the circumference of the connecting part 33 (i.e., the first plug-in part 31), the flow guide grooves 331 and the elastic members 23 are alternately and spaced arranged.

Alternatively, the glue injection hole 321 is formed on the upper surface of the body part 32, the fourth insertion part 37 is formed on the right side of the electric connection column 30, the flow guide groove 331 is formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the fourth insertion part 37, the fourth insertion groove 38 is formed on the left side of the electric connection column 30, the glue injection hole 321 extends from the upper surface of the body part 32 to the left side of the electric connection column 30 and communicates with the fourth insertion groove 38, or extends to the right side of the electric connection column 30 and communicates with the flow guide groove 331. Alternatively, a plurality of glue injection holes 321 are arranged along the length direction of the body part 32. Alternatively, the number of the flow guide grooves 331 is multiple.
[0305] In the embodiments of the present application, the conductive glue is injected into the flow guide groove 331 through the glue injection hole 321 and filled between the fourth insertion part 37 and the third insertion groove 213, or is injected into the fourth insertion groove 38 through the glue injection hole 321 and filled between the fourth insertion groove 38 and the third insertion part 214, so as to ensure good conductive contact between the fourth insertion part 37 and the third insertion groove 213, between the fourth insertion groove 38 and the third insertion part 214, increase the overcurrent area, and improve the conductive performance.
[0306] In some embodiments, the fourth insertion part 37 is provided with a plurality of elastic members 23 along the length extension direction of the body part 32, and the elastic members 23 are elastically abutted between the groove wall of the third insertion groove 213 and the outer periphery of the fourth insertion part 37, so as to prevent the fourth insertion part 37 from being separated from the third insertion groove 213.
[0307] Specifically, the elastic member 23 can be a spring piece, a spring, an elastic block, an elastic pad, etc. Alternatively, the elastic member 23 is arched relative to the surface of the fourth insertion part 37, the arched part of the elastic member 23 abuts the groove wall of the third insertion groove 213 and can be elastically deformed in the arching direction, so as to exert an elastic force on the groove wall of the third insertion groove 213, prevent the fourth insertion part 37 from being separated from the third insertion groove 213, and improve the connection reliability of the electric connection column 30 and the pole part 21.
[0308] Referring to FIG. 3, in some embodiments, the battery monomer includes a shell 25 and an electrode assembly 26, the electrode assembly 26 is arranged in the shell 25, the shell 25 is provided with a mounting hole (not shown), the pole part 21 is wholly arranged outside the mounting hole (not shown), or part of the pole part 21 is arranged outside the mounting hole (not shown), part of the pole part 21 penetrates into the shell 25 through the mounting hole (not shown) and cooperates with the shell 25; the pole part 21 is electrically connected with the electrode assembly 26.
[0309] Specifically, the shape of the mounting hole (not shown in the figure) can match the cross-sectional shape of the pole portion 21. For example, the pole portion 21 is in the shape of a long strip, and the mounting hole (not shown in the figure) is also in the shape of a long strip with a size close to or the same as that of the pole portion 21. When the pole portion 21 is entirely covered outside the mounting hole (not shown in the figure), the pole portion 21 is entirely located outside the shell 25. When the pole portion 21 is partially inserted into the mounting hole (not shown in the figure), the portion of the pole portion 21 inserted into the mounting hole (not shown in the figure) can be buckled with the shell 25 and connected with the electrode assembly 26.
[0310] When the pole portion 21 is entirely covered outside the mounting hole (not shown in the figure), the assembly of the pole portion 21 and the shell 25 is facilitated, the manufacturing process is simplified, and the reliability and stability of the connection between the pole portion 21 and the shell 25 are improved. After the pole portion 21 is combined with the shell 25, the pole portion 21 is less likely to be separated from the shell 25 or cracked or damaged due to vibration or external pulling during the charging and discharging process of the battery monomer 20.
[0311] When the pole portion 21 is partially covered outside the mounting hole (not shown in the figure) and partially inserted into the shell 25 through the mounting hole (not shown in the figure) to be combined with the shell 25, the electrical connection stability and overcurrent capacity of the pole portion 21 and the electrode assembly 26 in the shell 25 are improved.
[0312] Referring to FIG. 3, in some embodiments, the shell 25 includes a shell body 252 and an end cover 253. The shell body 252 has an opening 2521, and the end cover 253 is sealed to cover the opening 2521. The pole portion 21 is arranged in any one of the shell body 252 and the end cover 253.
[0313] Specifically, the end cover 253 is a component capable of being combined with the shell body 252 at the opening 2521 to isolate the internal environment of the battery monomer 20 from the external environment. The internal environment formed by the shell body 252 and the end cover 253 can be used to accommodate the electrode assembly 26, the electrolyte, and other components. Without limitation, the shape of the end cover 253 can be adapted to the shape of the shell body 252 to be combined with the shell body 252. For example, the shell body 252 can be in the shape of a cuboid, a cylinder, a hexagonal prism, or the like. Specifically, the shape of the shell body 252 can be determined according to the specific shape and size of the electrode assembly 26. The material of the shell 25 can be various, such as copper, iron, aluminum, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, plastic, and the like, which are not specially limited in the embodiments of the present application. Alternatively, the shell 25 can be made of a material with certain hardness and strength (such as aluminum alloy), so that the shell 25 is less likely to be deformed when being squeezed or collided, and the battery monomer 20 can have higher structural strength and safety performance.
[0314] The pole portion 21 is arranged on either of the housing 252 and the end cover 253, and is electrically connected with the electrode assembly 26 for outputting or inputting the electric energy of the battery monomer 20. In some embodiments, an insulating member can also be arranged on the inner side of the end cover 253, which can be used to isolate the electrically connected components in the housing 252 from the end cover 253 to reduce the risk of short circuit. For example, the insulating member can be plastic, rubber, etc.
[0315] The housing 252 and the end cover 253 can be independent components, and an opening 2521 can be arranged on the housing 252. The end cover 253 is used to cover the opening 2521 to form the internal environment of the battery monomer 20. Not limitedly, the end cover 253 and the housing 252 can also be integrated. Specifically, the end cover 253 and the housing 252 can form a common connecting surface before other components enter the housing, and then the end cover 253 is used to cover the housing 252 when it is necessary to seal the internal environment of the housing 252.
[0316] In the embodiments of the present application, the housing 252 has an opening 2521, and the end cover 253 is used to seal the opening 2521. The pole portion 21 is arranged on either of the housing 252 and the end cover 253, which is convenient for the assembly and production of the housing 25 and the electrode assembly 26.
[0317] Referring to FIGS. 3-4, in some embodiments, the battery monomer 20 has two first side walls 251 opposite in a first direction, two second side walls 255 opposite in a second direction, and two third side walls 256 opposite in a third direction. The first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other. The pole portion 21 is arranged on the first side wall 251. The areas of the second side wall 255 and the third side wall 256 are both greater than the area of the first side wall 251. In other embodiments, the areas of the second side wall 255 and the third side wall 256 are both less than the area of the first side wall 251.
[0318] Optionally, the first direction is the front-rear direction, the second direction is the up-down direction, and the third direction is the left-right direction. In some embodiments, the battery monomer 20 is in the shape of a cuboid, the length of the two sides of the first side wall 251 is greater than the length of the third side perpendicular to the first side wall 251, and the first side wall 251 is the largest wall surface in the cuboid. In the embodiments of the present application, the pole portion 21 is arranged on the first side wall 251, which can increase the overcurrent area of the electric connection of the battery monomer 20 and guarantee the fast charging performance.
[0319] Optionally, in some embodiments, the battery cell 20 is cuboid-shaped, the length of two sides of the first side wall 251 is less than the length of the third side perpendicular to the first side wall 251, and the first side wall 251 is the smallest wall of the cuboid, so that the expansion of the battery cell 20 at the first side wall 251 is small during use, reducing the influence of the expansion of the battery cell 20 on the pole part 21, thereby ensuring the electrical connection reliability of the battery cell 20 and the electrical connection column 30.
[0320] In some embodiments, the battery cell 20 includes a shell 25 and an electrode assembly 26 disposed in the shell 25; the pole 21 is disposed in the shell 25, and the tab 262 of the electrode assembly 26 is electrically connected to the pole 21; the electrode assembly 26 is disposed between the end of the tab 262 and the shell 25 to form a gap, and the tab 262 is disposed in the gap; the pole 21 is disposed at a position opposite to the gap of the shell 25.
[0321] Optionally, referring to FIG. 2, the electrode assembly 26 includes a main body 261, and the tab 262 is disposed at the upper end of the main body 261, and the pole 21 is disposed on the first wall 251 which is the largest wall of the shell 25. The tab 262 can be directly connected to the pole 21, or can be connected to the pole 21 through an adapter piece.
[0322] The electrode assembly 26 is a component in the battery cell 20 where electrochemical reactions occur. One or more electrode assemblies 26 can be contained within the shell 25. The electrode assembly 26 is mainly formed by winding or stacking a positive electrode sheet and a negative electrode sheet, and a separator is usually disposed between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet. The positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet have portions of active material constituting the main body 261 of the electrode assembly 26, and the portions of the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet without active material each constitute a tab 262. The positive electrode tab and the negative electrode tab can be located at one end of the main body 261 together, or can be located at two ends of the main body 261 respectively. During charging and discharging, the positive active material and the negative active material react with the electrolyte, and the tab 262 is connected to the pole 21 to form a current loop.
[0323] The shell 25 forms a receiving space, and the electrode assembly 26 is accommodated in the receiving space. The end of the tab 262 of the electrode assembly 26 is disposed between the shell 25 to form a gap, that is, the gap is formed between the end of the main body and the shell. On the one hand, the gap can enable the electrolyte to fully soak the electrode assembly to some extent, and on the other hand, the gap can provide a space for the connection of the tab 262 and the pole 21 or the adapter piece.
[0324] The pole 21 is arranged at a position opposite to the gap of the shell 25. When the battery cell 20 is in operation, the main body 261 of the electrode assembly 26 will expand. The expanded main body 261 can move the pole 21 arranged on the shell 25. If the pole 21 is arranged at a position opposite to the main body 261, when the main body 261 moves due to expansion, the pole 21 will move a first displacement synchronously. The pole 21 is arranged at a position opposite to the gap of the shell 25. Even if the main body 261 moves due to expansion, the second displacement (smaller) of the pole 21 moved by the main body 261 will be smaller than the first displacement, so that the displacement of the pole 21 is smaller, which to some extent avoids the disconnection between the pole 21 and the tab 262 caused by the large displacement of the pole 21.
[0325] In some embodiments, the battery cell 20 comprises a pressure relief mechanism 254 arranged on one of the two second side walls 255 and the two third side walls 256. The pressure relief mechanism 254 is used to break when the internal pressure of the battery cell 20 exceeds a pressure threshold.
[0326] Referring to FIG. 3, in some embodiments, the battery cell 20 comprises a pressure relief mechanism 254 arranged on the surface of the shell 25 other than the first side wall 251. The pressure relief mechanism 254 is used to break before the shell 25 when the internal pressure of the battery cell 20 exceeds a pressure threshold.
[0327] Optionally, the pressure relief mechanism 254 forms a local wall thickness shallower than the overall wall thickness on the shell 25 other than the first side wall 251 by means of a notch, a groove, etc. As shown in FIG. 3, the second side wall 255 comprises an end cover 253 located above the opening of the shell 252. The pressure relief mechanism 254 is arranged on the end cover 253.
[0328] Optionally, the first side wall 251 is located at the front and rear sides of the battery cell 20. The pressure relief mechanism 254 can be arranged on one of the left, right, upper, and lower sides of the shell 25.
[0329] In the embodiments of the present application, the pressure relief mechanism 254 is arranged on the surface of the shell 25 other than the first side wall 251. When the internal pressure of the battery cell 20 exceeds a threshold, the pressure relief mechanism 254 breaks before other walls of the shell 25, releasing the internal pressure, thereby avoiding the risk of cracking of the first side wall 251 when the internal pressure of the battery cell 20 is too large, reducing the impact of the internal pressure of the battery cell 20 being too large on the pole part 21, and further reducing the safety risk.
[0330] Referring to FIGS. 20-18, in some embodiments, the battery device 100 comprises a sampling member 40 directly contacting the pole part 21 to collect parameter information of the corresponding battery cell 20.
[0331] Optionally, the sampling member 40 collects parameter information of the battery cell 20 directly contacting the pole portion 21.

[0352] Please refer to FIGS. 18-29. In some embodiments, the electrical connection column 30 includes a connection column body 39 and a sampling part 41. The connection column body 39 is respectively inserted with the pole column parts 21 of the adjacent two battery monomers 20, and the sampling part 41 is arranged on the connection column body 39 and forms the sampling member 40.
[0353] Optionally, as shown in FIG. 18, the two sides of the connecting post body 39 are formed with protruding plug-in parts 391. The pole post part 21 of the battery monomer 20 is formed with plug-in grooves 392. The plug-in parts 391 on the two sides of the connecting post body 39 are respectively plugged into the plug-in grooves 392 of the adjacent two battery monomers 20 to electrically connect the adjacent two battery monomers 20.
[0354] Optionally, as shown in FIG. 19, the two sides of the connecting post body 39 are formed with plug-in grooves 392.

[0356] Optionally, the two sides of the connecting post body 39 in the first direction are respectively plugged into the pole post part 21 of the adjacent two battery monomers 20. The first direction is the front-rear direction. The sampling part 41 can be arranged on the side surface other than the front-rear side of the connecting post body 39. For example, to reduce the interference of the sampling part 41 with the plugging between the connecting post body 39 and the pole post part 21, the sampling part 41 can be arranged on the upper side surface and / or the lower side surface of the connecting post body 39, and can be further located at the middle position of the connecting post body 39 in the front-rear direction.
[0357] In the embodiments of the present application, the sampling part 41 and the connecting post body 39 are arranged to form the sampling member 40 by the electric connecting post, which improves the integration of parts and is conducive to improving the assembly efficiency. At the same time, the internal resistance between the sampling member 40 and the pole post part 21 is reduced, so that the heat generation can be reduced in the process of collecting the parameter information of the battery monomer 20, and the sampling part 41 is prevented from being damaged by overheating to a certain extent.
[0358] 37. In some embodiments, the sampling part 41 is integrally formed with the connecting post body 39, and the two sides of the sampling part 41 are respectively abutted with the two pole posts in electric connection.
[0359] In the embodiments of the present application, the sampling part 41 is integrally formed with the connecting column body 39, thereby reducing the number of parts, improving assembly efficiency, and reducing or avoiding gaps between the sampling part 41 and the connecting column body 39, thereby reducing the loss of parameter information collected by the sampling part 40. The two sides of the sampling part 41 abut against the two polar column parts 21 that are electrically connected and matched, so that the sampling part 41 can collect parameter information of the corresponding two battery monomers 20.
[0360] In other embodiments, the sampling part 41 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting column body 39, and the two sides of the sampling part 41 abut against the two polar column parts 21 that are electrically connected and matched.
[0361] Optionally, please refer to FIGS. 18, 20-23, and 26-29, in which the first direction is the front-rear direction. The sampling part 41 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting column body 39, and the two sides of the sampling part 41 abut against the two polar column parts 21 that are electrically connected and matched.
[0362] Specifically, the sampling part 41 is provided with a second through hole 422, and the connecting column body 39 passes through the second through hole 422, so that the sampling part 41 is sleeved on the outside (circumferential side) of the connecting column body 39.
[0363] The two side surfaces of the sampling part 41 are the two end surfaces of the sampling part 41 along the first direction. The two side surfaces of the sampling part 41 abut against the first polar column 27 and the second polar column 28, respectively. The sampling part 41 can be connected to the first polar column 27 and the second polar column 28 through end surface contact, so that the sampling part 41 can collect parameter information of the battery monomer 20 corresponding to the first polar column 27 and parameter information of the battery monomer 20 corresponding to the second polar column 28.
[0364] In addition, the sleeving manner also facilitates the assembly of the sampling part 41 and the connecting column body 39. Specifically, during assembly, the connecting column body 39 passes through the second through hole 422, and the two side surfaces of the sampling part 41 abut against the first polar column 27 and the second polar column 28, respectively, so that the sampling part 41 and the connecting column body 39 are assembled, and the assembly efficiency is high.
[0365] Please refer to FIGS. 18, 20-23, and 26-29. In some embodiments, the sampling part 41 includes a connecting structure 44 and a sleeving structure 441. The sleeving structure 441 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting column body 39 and abuts against the first polar column 27 and the second polar column 28 on the two side surfaces. The connecting structure 44 is connected to the output line 42 of the sampling.
