SUMMARY

[0006] In view of the above problems, the purpose of the embodiments of the present application is to provide a battery cell, a battery and an electric device, which can improve the technical problem that the electrode terminal is easily separated from the shell.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the embodiments of the present application is:

[0008] In a first aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a battery cell, comprising:

[0009] a shell provided with a lead-out hole;

[0010] an electrode assembly arranged in the shell;

[0011] an electrode terminal arranged in the lead-out hole or opposite to the lead-out hole; the electrode terminal is connected to the shell and the electrode assembly, and is provided with a limiting groove;

[0012] a first insulating member comprising an insulating body and a limiting member connected to the insulating body, the insulating body is arranged between the shell and the electrode assembly, the limiting member is inserted into the limiting groove, and the limiting groove and the limiting member form a limit in the axial direction of the lead-out hole.

[0013] The battery cell provided by the embodiments of the present application is characterized in that the insulating body of the first insulating piece is arranged between the shell and the electrode assembly, the limiting piece of the first insulating piece is inserted into the limiting groove of the electrode terminal, and the limiting groove is limited in the axial direction of the electrode terminal, so that the first insulating piece and the electrode terminal are limited in the axial direction, which makes the first insulating piece and the electrode terminal have a high bonding strength, thereby improving the bonding strength of the electrode terminal and the shell. In this way, the risk of the electrode terminal being pulled out of the shell is reduced, and the reliability of the battery cell is improved.

[0014] In some embodiments, the electrode terminal comprises:

[0015] The terminal body is connected to the shell and covers the lead-out hole.

[0016] The boss is arranged at one end of the terminal body close to the electrode assembly and is inserted into the lead-out hole. The boss is connected to the electrode assembly, and at least part of the limiting groove is arranged on the boss.

[0017] By arranging the boss on the electrode terminal and inserting it into the lead-out hole, and arranging at least part of the limiting groove on the boss, the boss can be close to the first insulating piece in the axial direction, which facilitates the limiting piece of the first insulating piece and the limiting groove to form a limit in the axial direction, thereby facilitating the improvement of the bonding strength of the first insulating piece and the electrode terminal, the improvement of the bonding strength of the electrode terminal and the shell, the reduction of the risk of the electrode terminal being pulled out of the shell, and the improvement of the reliability of the battery cell.

[0018] In some embodiments, the at least one limiting groove is a first limiting groove, the first limiting groove comprises a first groove segment and a second groove segment connected to the first groove segment; the limiting piece comprises a first limiting part and a second limiting part connected to the first limiting part, at least one of the first limiting part and the second limiting part is connected to the insulating body; the first limiting part is limited in the axial direction in the first groove segment, and the second limiting part is limited in the radial direction of the lead-out hole in the second groove segment.

[0019] By using the above technical solution, the limiting piece can be limited in the limiting groove in the axial and radial directions, which can improve the limiting strength of the limiting piece on the electrode terminal, thereby improving the bonding strength of the first insulating piece and the electrode terminal, reducing the risk of the electrode terminal being pulled out of the first insulating piece, and further reducing the risk of the electrode terminal being pulled out of the shell, thereby improving the reliability of the battery cell.

[0020] In some embodiments, in the axial direction, the second groove segment protrudes from at least one side of the first groove segment.

[0021] The second slot section protrudes from at least one side of the first slot section in the axial direction, so that the second slot section can be used to limit the second limiting part in the radial direction, thereby improving the bonding strength of the first insulating part and the electrode terminal, and further improving the bonding strength of the electrode terminal and the shell, which helps to reduce the risk of the electrode terminal being pulled out of the shell, and improves the reliability of the battery cell.

[0022] In some embodiments, the number of limiting grooves is multiple, and the multiple limiting grooves are distributed in the circumferential direction of the lead-out hole.

[0023] The first limiting part is limited in the circumferential direction in the first slot section, and / or the second limiting part is limited in the circumferential direction in the second slot section.

[0024] In this way, the bonding strength of the first insulating part and the electrode terminal can be improved to improve the bonding strength of the electrode terminal and the shell, which helps to reduce the risk of the electrode terminal being pulled out of the shell, and improves the reliability of the battery cell.

[0025] In some embodiments, in the circumferential direction, the second slot section protrudes from at least one side of the first slot section.

[0026] The second slot section protrudes from at least one side of the first slot section in the circumferential direction, so that the second slot section can be used to limit the second limiting part in the radial direction, thereby improving the bonding strength of the first insulating part and the electrode terminal, and further improving the bonding strength of the electrode terminal and the shell, which helps to reduce the risk of the electrode terminal being pulled out of the shell, and improves the reliability of the battery cell.

[0027] In some embodiments, the electrode terminal includes a terminal body and a boss; the terminal body is connected to the shell and covers the lead-out hole; the boss is arranged at one end of the terminal body close to the electrode assembly and penetrates into the lead-out hole; the boss is connected to the electrode assembly, the first slot section is arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the boss, and at least part of the second slot section is arranged on the boss.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, at least part of the first insulating part can be arranged on the outer peripheral side of the boss, so that the first insulating part not only realizes the insulation between the shell and the electrode assembly, but also realizes the insulation between the boss and the shell, which helps to improve the reliability of the battery cell.

[0029] In some embodiments, the second limiting part is also limited in the axial direction in the second slot section.

[0030] In this way, the second limiting part is limited in the radial direction and the axial direction in the second slot section, respectively. In this way, the limiting strength of the limiting part and the limiting groove in the axial direction can be improved, thereby improving the bonding strength of the first insulating part and the electrode terminal, and further improving the bonding strength of the electrode terminal and the shell, which helps to reduce the risk of the electrode terminal being pulled out of the shell, and improves the reliability of the battery cell.

[0031] In some embodiments, the first size of the boss = [1 / 3, 2 / 3] * the second size of the boss.

[0032] The first dimension is the distance between the groove wall close to the outer peripheral wall of the boss and the outer peripheral wall of the boss in the radial direction; and the second dimension is the distance between the groove wall away from the outer peripheral wall of the boss and the outer peripheral wall of the boss in the radial direction.

[0033] In this way, on the one hand, the limiting groove does not excessively occupy the volume of the boss, so as to guarantee the structural strength and flow capacity of the boss to a certain extent. On the other hand, the stepped structure can realize relatively firm limiting effect on the second limiting part in the radial direction, so as to improve the limiting strength of the limiting member and the limiting groove in the radial direction, so as to improve the combination strength of the first insulating member and the electrode terminal, which helps to reduce the risk of the electrode terminal being pulled out of the shell and improve the reliability of the battery monomer.

[0034] In some embodiments, the second groove segment is arranged at one end of the electrode terminal close to the electrode assembly in the axial direction.

[0035] By adopting the above technical scheme, the limiting member and the limiting groove are conveniently plugged and fitted.

[0036] In some embodiments, the first groove segment and the second groove segment are distributed in the axial direction, and the first limiting part is further limited in the radial direction in the first groove segment.

[0037] In this way, the limiting strength of the limiting member and the limiting groove in the axial direction can be improved, so as to improve the combination strength of the first insulating member and the electrode terminal, which helps to reduce the risk of the electrode terminal being pulled out of the shell and improve the reliability of the battery monomer.

[0038] In some embodiments, the third dimension of the electrode terminal = [1 / 3, 2 / 3] * the fourth dimension of the electrode terminal.

[0039] The third dimension is the distance between the groove wall close to the electrode assembly and the end of the electrode terminal close to the electrode assembly in the axial direction; and the fourth dimension is the distance between the groove wall away from the electrode assembly and the end of the electrode terminal close to the electrode assembly in the axial direction.

[0040] In this way, on the one hand, the limiting groove does not excessively occupy the volume of the electrode terminal, so as to guarantee the structural strength and flow capacity of the electrode terminal to a certain extent. On the other hand, the stepped structure can realize relatively firm limiting effect on the first limiting part in the axial direction, so as to improve the limiting strength of the limiting member and the limiting groove in the radial direction, so as to improve the combination strength of the first insulating member and the electrode terminal, which helps to reduce the risk of the electrode terminal being pulled out of the shell and improve the reliability of the battery monomer.

[0041] In some embodiments, the at least one limiting groove is a second limiting groove, and the second limiting groove is arranged on the outer circumferential wall of the boss; in the radial direction of the lead-out hole, the cross-sectional area of the second limiting groove perpendicular to the radial direction is arranged to gradually decrease towards the outer circumferential wall of the boss.

[0042] In this way, the groove wall of the second limiting groove can achieve radial limiting on the limiting member. In this way, the first limiting groove and the limiting member can not only achieve limiting in the axial direction, but also achieve limiting in the radial direction. This helps to improve the bonding strength between the electrode terminal and the first insulating member, to improve the bonding strength of the first insulating member and the electrode terminal, and to help reduce the risk of the electrode terminal being pulled out of the shell, thereby improving the reliability of the battery cell.

[0043] In some embodiments, the axial dimension of the second limiting groove is arranged to gradually decrease along the radial direction towards the outer circumferential wall of the boss;

[0044] And / or, the number of second limiting grooves is a plurality, and the plurality of second limiting grooves are arranged to be spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the lead-out hole, and the circumferential dimension of the second limiting groove is arranged to gradually decrease along the radial direction towards the outer circumferential wall of the boss.

[0045] By adopting the above technical solution, the cross-sectional area of the second limiting groove perpendicular to the radial direction can be arranged to gradually decrease in the direction of the second limiting groove along the radial direction towards the outer circumferential wall of the boss, so that the groove wall of the second limiting groove can achieve radial limiting on the limiting member.

[0046] In some embodiments, the groove walls on the two axially opposite sides of the second limiting groove are arranged to taper along the radial direction towards the outer circumferential wall of the boss;

[0047] And / or, the number of second limiting grooves is a plurality, and the plurality of second limiting grooves are arranged to be spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the lead-out hole, and the groove walls on the two circumferentially opposite sides of the second limiting groove are arranged to taper along the radial direction towards the outer circumferential wall of the boss.

[0048] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting strength of the second limiting groove on the limiting member in the radial direction can be improved, so as to improve the bonding strength between the electrode terminal and the first insulating member, and reduce the risk of the electrode terminal being pulled out of the shell.

[0049] In some embodiments, the fifth dimension of the second limiting groove = [0.6, 0.9] * the sixth dimension of the second limiting groove;

[0050] Wherein, the fifth dimension is the axial dimension of the second limiting groove at one end of the outer circumferential wall of the boss, and the sixth dimension is the axial dimension of the second limiting groove away from one end of the outer circumferential wall of the boss along the radial direction.

[0051] In this way, the limiting member can be effectively limited in the radial direction in the second limiting groove. Moreover, the narrowing of the second limiting groove at the outer circumferential wall of the boss is arranged to be too small, which facilitates the limiting member to enter the second limiting groove.

[0052] In some embodiments, the seventh dimension of the second limiting groove = [0.6, 0.9] * the eighth dimension of the second limiting groove.

[0053] The seventh dimension is the circumferential dimension of the second limiting groove at one end of the outer peripheral wall of the boss, and the eighth dimension is the circumferential dimension of the second limiting groove away from one end of the outer peripheral wall of the boss in the radial direction.

[0054] In this way, the limiting member can be effectively limited in the radial direction in the second limiting groove. Moreover, the narrowing of the second limiting groove at the outer peripheral wall of the boss is arranged to be too small, facilitating the entry of the limiting member into the second limiting groove.

[0055] In some embodiments, the electrode terminal includes a positive electrode terminal, the limiting groove of the positive electrode terminal is arranged on the boss, and the axial dimension of the limiting groove of the positive electrode terminal = [1 / 3, 2 / 3] * the axial dimension of the boss.

[0056] In this way, the limiting groove occupies a relatively appropriate size proportion of the boss of the positive electrode terminal in the axial direction, so that the limiting groove can effectively limit the limiting member, and at the same time, the structural strength and flow capacity of the boss can be ensured to a certain extent.

[0057] In some embodiments, the electrode terminal includes a negative electrode terminal, the negative electrode terminal further includes a composite layer, the material of the composite layer is different from that of the terminal body and the same as that of the boss; the composite layer is arranged between the terminal body and the boss, the radial dimension of the composite layer is greater than that of the boss, and the composite layer covers the lead-out hole.

[0058] On the one hand, the composite strength between the outer pole and the inner pole can be improved, and the risk of the terminal body being pulled out of the shell can be reduced. On the other hand, the composite layer covers the lead-out hole, so that on the basis of sealing the connection between the negative electrode terminal and the shell by the sealing ring, the sealing ring can be sealed between the composite layer and the shell in the axial direction, thereby effectively improving the problem that the electrolyte in the shell destroys the composite interface between the composite layer and the terminal body, and helping to ensure and maintain the structural strength of the electrode terminal to a certain extent.

[0059] In some embodiments, the axial dimension of the limiting groove of the negative electrode terminal = [1 / 3, 2 / 3] * the sum of the axial dimensions of the boss and the composite layer.

[0060] In this way, the limiting groove occupies a relatively appropriate size proportion of the boss and the composite layer of the negative electrode terminal in the axial direction, so that the limiting groove can effectively limit the limiting member, and at the same time, the structural strength and flow capacity of the boss and the composite layer can be ensured to a certain extent.

[0061] In some embodiments, the electrode terminal is provided with a welding portion near one end of the electrode assembly;

[0062] In the radial direction of the lead-out hole, the limiting groove protrudes from or is flush with the groove wall of the outer peripheral wall away from the electrode terminal; or, in the radial direction of the lead-out hole, the welding portion protrudes from the groove wall of the outer peripheral wall of the limiting groove away from the electrode terminal, and in the axial direction, the distance between the groove wall near the welding portion and the welding portion is ≥1mm.

[0063] In this way, when the adapter structure or the electrode assembly is welded to the welding portion, the problem of the limiting groove being damaged during welding can be improved, the welding work of the welding portion can be ensured to a certain extent, and the limiting groove can effectively limit the limiting member.

[0064] In some embodiments, in the radial direction of the lead-out hole, the welding portion protrudes from the groove wall of the outer peripheral wall of the limiting groove away from the electrode terminal, and in the axial direction, the distance between the end near the welding portion and the welding portion is in the range of 1.5mm-3.5mm.

[0065] In this way, in the axial direction, the limiting groove has a suitable distance between the end near the welding portion and the welding portion, which can improve the problem of the limiting groove being damaged during welding on the one hand, and on the other hand, the limiting groove can occupy a suitable size proportion of the electrode terminal in the axial direction, so that the limiting groove can effectively limit the limiting member.

[0066] In some embodiments, the first insulating member further comprises a connecting member, which surrounds the outer periphery of the boss and is connected between the connecting member and the insulating body.

[0067] By surrounding the outer periphery of the boss and being connected between the connecting member and the insulating body, the connecting member is arranged between the inner peripheral wall of the lead-out hole and the outer peripheral wall of the boss. In this way, the connecting member not only realizes the connection between the limiting member and the insulating body, but also realizes the insulation effect between the shell and the boss, thereby helping to improve the reliability of the battery monomer.

[0068] In some embodiments, the first insulating member is injection molded to the electrode terminal.

[0069] In this way, the limiting member of the first insulating member can fully enter the limiting groove, thereby forming a very firm and stable limiting relationship with the limiting groove. In this way, the bonding strength between the electrode terminal and the first insulating member can be improved to reduce the risk of the electrode terminal coming off the shell.

[0070] In some embodiments, the battery monomer further comprises:

[0071] A second insulating member is sleeved on the outer periphery of the electrode terminal;

[0072] The fixing member is sleeved on the outer periphery of the electrode terminal, and the second insulating member is connected to the fixing member and separates the fixing member and the electrode terminal; the fixing member is connected to the shell.

[0073] By means of the second insulating member and the fixing member, the insulating connection between the electrode terminal and the shell is achieved.

[0074] In a second aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a battery, including a battery cell.

[0075] The battery provided by the embodiments of the present application can reduce the risk of electrode terminal disengagement from the shell, improve the reliability of the battery cell, and thus improve the reliability of the battery.

[0076] In a third aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a power consumption device, including a battery.

[0077] The power consumption device provided by the embodiments of the present application can improve the stability and reliability of the battery, and thus help to improve the reliability of the power consumption device.

[0190] As an example, the number of the limiting members 42 is the same as the number of the limiting grooves 301, and the multiple limiting members 42 and the multiple limiting grooves 301 are provided one by one, and each limiting member 42 is limited in each limiting groove 301 along the circumferential direction Y.

[0191] In this way, by limiting the limiting member 42 in the limiting groove 301, the relative limiting of the electrode terminal 3 and the first insulating member 4 in the circumferential direction Y can be achieved, so as to limit the relative rotation of the electrode terminal 3 and the first insulating member 4 in the circumferential direction Y, improve the bonding strength of the electrode terminal 3 and the first insulating member 4, improve the bonding strength of the electrode terminal 3 and the shell 2, reduce the risk of the electrode terminal 3 being pulled out of the shell 2, reduce the problem of invalid connection relationship between the electrode terminal 3 and the electrode assembly 1, and improve the reliability of the battery monomer 10.

[0192] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG. 13 to FIG. 19, 22 to FIG. 26, and combine with other drawings. The number of the limiting grooves 301 is multiple, and the multiple limiting grooves 301 are distributed along the circumferential direction Y of the lead-out hole 201. The first limiting part 421 is limited in the first groove segment 3011 along the circumferential direction Y, and / or the second limiting part 422 is limited in the second groove segment 3012 along the circumferential direction Y.

[0193] It can be understood that, in some possible designs, as shown in FIG. 17 and FIG. 26, the first limiting part 421 is located in the first slot section 3011 in the circumferential direction Y, and the second limiting part 422 is located in the second slot section 3012 in the circumferential direction Y. Alternatively, in other possible designs, the first limiting part 421 is located in the first slot section 3011 in the circumferential direction Y, and the second limiting part 422 is not located in the second slot section 3012 in the circumferential direction Y. Alternatively, in still other possible designs, the second limiting part 422 is located in the second slot section 3012 in the circumferential direction Y, and the first limiting part 421 is not located in the first slot section 3011 in the circumferential direction Y.

[0194] In this way, the limiting part 42 is located in the limiting groove 301 in the circumferential direction Y, so that the relative limiting of the electrode terminal 3 and the first insulating part 4 in the circumferential direction Y can be achieved, and thus the relative rotation of the electrode terminal 3 and the first insulating part 4 can be limited. In this way, the bonding strength of the first insulating part 4 and the electrode terminal 3 can be improved, the bonding strength of the electrode terminal 3 and the shell 2 can be improved, the risk of the electrode terminal 3 being pulled out of the shell 2 can be reduced, and the reliability of the battery monomer 10 can be improved.

[0195] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG. 13 to FIG. 19, and in combination with other drawings. In the circumferential direction Y, the second slot section 3012 protrudes from at least one side of the first slot section 3011.

[0196] In some possible designs, the second slot section 3012 can protrude from one side of the first slot section 3011 in the circumferential direction Y. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 17 to FIG. 19, the second slot section 3012 can also protrude from opposite sides of the first slot section 3011 in the circumferential direction Y.

[0197] Specifically, the second slot section 3012 is arranged to extend in the circumferential direction Y to protrude from the first slot section 3011, so that a stepped structure is formed between the first slot section 3011 and the second slot section 3012, and the stepped structure and the first slot section 3011 are distributed in the circumferential direction Y. In some possible designs, the third slot wall 3015 is arranged on the stepped structure.

[0198] Correspondingly, the second limiting part 422 protrudes from at least one side of the first limiting part 421 in the circumferential direction Y, so that the first limiting part 421 can be adaptively located in the first slot section 3011, and the second limiting part 422 can be adaptively located in the second slot section 3012.

[0199] By protruding from at least one side of the first slot section 3011 in the circumferential direction Y, the second slot section 3012 can be used to limit the second limiting part 422 in the radial direction X, so that the bonding strength of the first insulating part 4 and the electrode terminal 3 can be improved, the risk of the electrode terminal 3 being pulled out of the shell 2 can be reduced, and the reliability of the battery monomer 10 can be improved.

[0200] In some embodiments, please refer to FIGS. 5-19, and combine with other drawings. The electrode terminal 3 comprises a terminal body 31 and a boss 32. The terminal body 31 is connected to the shell 2 and covers the lead-out hole 201. The boss 32 is arranged at one end of the terminal body 31 close to the electrode assembly 1 and penetrates into the lead-out hole 201. The boss 32 is connected to the electrode assembly 1. A first groove segment 3011 is arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the boss 32, and at least part of a second groove segment 3012 is arranged on the boss 32.

[0201] It can be understood that the first groove segment 3011 penetrates through the outer peripheral wall of the boss 32 along the radial direction X to be exposed on the outer peripheral wall of the boss 32. Among them, the first groove segment 3011 and the second groove segment 3012 can be distributed approximately along the radial direction X.

[0202] Based on this, the first limiting part 421 can be connected to the insulating body 41, and the second limiting part 422 is connected to the first limiting part 421, so that the first limiting part 421 and the second limiting part 422 can be distributed approximately along the radial direction X.

[0203] In some possible designs, as shown in FIGS. 5-19, the second groove segment 3012 is arranged on the boss 32. Alternatively, in other possible designs, part of the first groove segment 3011 is arranged on the boss 32, and the other part can be arranged on the composite layer 33 referred to below, or on the composite layer 33 and the terminal body 31.

[0204] By adopting the above technical solutions, at least part of the first insulating part 4 can be arranged on the outer peripheral side of the boss 32, so that the first insulating part 4 can not only realize the insulation between the shell 2 and the electrode assembly 1, but also realize the insulation between the boss 32 and the shell 2, which helps to improve the reliability of the battery monomer 10.

[0205] In some embodiments, please refer to FIGS. 9 and 12, and combine with other drawings. The second limiting part 422 is also limited in the second groove segment 3012 along the axial direction Z.

[0206] Specifically, the first groove segment 3011 and the second groove segment 3012 are distributed along the radial direction X. The second groove segment 3012 has two side groove walls opposite along the axial direction Z, which are the fifth groove wall 3017 and the sixth groove wall 3018, respectively. The second limiting part 422 is limited between the fifth groove wall 3017 and the sixth groove wall 3018, so as to be limited in the second groove segment 3012 along the axial direction Z.

[0207] In some possible designs, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 12, and combine with other drawings. The first groove wall 3013, the third groove wall 3015, the fifth groove wall 3017, the fourth groove wall 3016, the sixth groove wall 3018 and the second groove wall 3014 are sequentially connected, and the first groove wall 3013 and the second groove wall 3014 are arranged at intervals and are respectively connected to the outer peripheral wall of the boss 32.

[0208] It can be understood that the limiting groove 301 penetrates the outer peripheral wall of the boss 32 in the radial direction X, but does not penetrate the electrode terminal 3 in the axial direction Z.

[0209] In this way, the second limiting portion 422 is respectively limited in the second groove segment 3012 in the radial direction X and the axial direction Z. In this way, the limiting strength of the limiting member 42 and the limiting groove 301 in the axial direction Z can be improved, thereby improving the combination strength of the first insulating member 4 and the electrode terminal 3, which helps to reduce the risk of the electrode terminal 3 being pulled out of the shell 2, and improves the reliability of the battery monomer 10.

[0210] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG. 9 and FIG. 12, and combine with other drawings. The first size L1 of the boss 32 is equal to [1 / 3, 2 / 3] * the second size L2 of the boss 32. Wherein, the first size L1 is the distance between the groove wall of the second groove segment 3012 close to the outer peripheral wall of the boss 32 and the outer peripheral wall of the boss 32 in the radial direction X. The second size L2 is the distance between the groove wall of the second groove segment 3012 away from the outer peripheral wall of the boss 32 and the outer peripheral wall of the boss 32 in the radial direction X.

[0211] In the radial direction X, the groove wall of the second groove segment 3012 close to the outer peripheral wall of the boss 32 is the third groove wall 3015. In the radial direction X, the groove wall of the second groove segment 3012 away from the outer peripheral wall of the boss 32 is the fourth groove wall 3016.

[0212] It can be understood that the distance between the third groove wall 3015 and the outer peripheral wall of the boss 32 in the radial direction X is the first size L1, and the distance between the fourth groove wall 3016 and the outer peripheral wall of the boss 32 in the radial direction X is the second size L2.

[0213] Wherein, the first size L1 < the second size L2, and the first size L1 = [1 / 3, 2 / 3] * the second size L2. That is, the first size L1 ≥ 1 / 3 * the second size L2, and the first size L1 ≤ 2 / 3 * the second size L2.

[0214] In this way, the step structure formed by the first groove segment 3011 and the second groove segment 3012 has a relatively appropriate size in the radial direction X. In this way, on the one hand, the limiting groove 301 does not excessively occupy the volume of the boss 32, thereby being able to guarantee the structural strength and the flow capacity of the boss 32 to a certain extent. On the other hand, the step structure can realize relatively firm limiting of the second limiting portion 422 in the radial direction X, thereby improving the limiting strength of the limiting member 42 and the limiting groove 301 in the radial direction X, so as to improve the combination strength of the first insulating member 4 and the electrode terminal 3, which helps to reduce the risk of the electrode terminal 3 being pulled out of the shell 2, and improves the reliability of the battery monomer 10.

[0215] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG. 20 and FIG. 21, and combine with other figures. FIG. 20 is a sectional view of the electrode terminal 3 of the battery cell 10 according to some embodiments of the present application, and FIG. 21 is an enlarged view of K in FIG. 20. In FIG. 20 and FIG. 21, the electrode terminal 3 is a negative electrode terminal 3b. The second slot segment 3012 is arranged at an end of the electrode terminal 3 close to the electrode assembly 1 along the axial direction Z.

[0216] For the convenience of description, the end of the electrode terminal 3 close to the electrode assembly 1 along the axial direction Z is defined as the first wall 302.

[0217] When the electrode terminal 3 comprises the terminal body 31 and the boss 32, the first wall 302 is arranged at an end of the boss 32 away from the terminal body 31 along the axial direction Z, that is, at an end of the boss 32 close to the electrode assembly 1 along the axial direction Z.

[0218] It can be understood that the second slot segment 3012 penetrates the first wall 302 of the electrode terminal 3 along the axial direction Z to be exposed on the first wall 302.

[0219] By using the above technical solution, the limiting member 42 and the limiting slot 301 are inserted and matched.

[0220] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG. 20 and FIG. 21, and combine with other figures. The first slot segment 3011 and the second slot segment 3012 are distributed along the axial direction Z, and the first limiting part 421 is further limited in the first slot segment 3011 along the radial direction X.

[0221] Specifically, the first slot segment 3011 has two side slot walls opposite along the radial direction X, which are the seventh slot wall 3019 and the eighth slot wall 3020. The first limiting part 421 is limited between the seventh slot wall 3019 and the eighth slot wall 3020, so as to be limited in the first slot segment 3011 along the radial direction X.

[0222] In some possible designs, as shown in FIG. 20 and FIG. 21, and combine with other figures. The third slot wall 3015, the first slot wall 3013, the seventh slot wall 3019, the second slot wall 3014, the eighth slot wall 3020 and the fourth slot wall 3016 are sequentially connected, the third slot wall 3015 and the fourth slot wall 3016 are arranged at intervals, and are respectively connected to the first wall 302.

[0223] It can be understood that the limiting slot 301 penetrates an end of the boss 32 away from the terminal body 31 along the axial direction Z, but does not penetrate the peripheral wall of the boss 32 along the radial direction X.

[0224] In this way, the first limiting part 421 is respectively limited in the first groove segment 3011 in the radial direction X and the axial direction Z. In this way, the limiting strength of the limiting part 42 and the limiting groove 301 in the axial direction Z can be improved, so as to improve the combination strength of the first insulating part 4 and the electrode terminal 3, which helps to reduce the risk of the electrode terminal 3 being pulled out of the shell 2, and improve the reliability of the battery monomer 10.

[0225] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG. 20 and FIG. 21, and combine with other drawings. The third size L3 of the electrode terminal 3 is equal to [1 / 3, 2 / 3] * the fourth size L4 of the electrode terminal 3. Wherein, the third size L3 is the distance between the first groove segment 3011 and the first wall 302 in the axial direction Z. The fourth size L4 is the distance between the first groove segment 3011 and the second wall 3014 in the axial direction Z.

[0226] Wherein, the end of the electrode terminal 3 close to the electrode assembly 1 is the first wall 302. The groove wall of the first groove segment 3011 close to the electrode assembly 1 in the axial direction Z is the first groove wall 3013. The groove wall of the first groove segment 3011 away from the electrode assembly 1 in the axial direction Z is the second groove wall 3014.

[0227] It can be understood that the distance between the first groove wall 3013 and the first wall 302 is the third size L3, and the distance between the second groove wall 3014 and the first wall 302 is the fourth size L4.

[0228] Wherein, the third size L3 < the fourth size L4, and the third size L3 = [1 / 3 ~ 2 / 3] * the fourth size L4. That is, the third size L3 ≥ 1 / 3 * the fourth size L4, and the third size L3 ≤ 2 / 3 * the fourth size L4.

[0229] In this way, the step structure formed by the first groove segment 3011 and the second groove segment 3012 has a relatively appropriate size in the axial direction Z. In this way, on the one hand, the limiting groove 301 does not occupy too much volume of the electrode terminal 3, so as to ensure the structural strength and the overcurrent capacity of the electrode terminal 3 to a certain extent. On the other hand, the step structure can firmly limit the first limiting part 421 in the axial direction Z, so as to improve the limiting strength of the limiting part 42 and the limiting groove 301 in the radial direction X and the axial direction Z, so as to improve the combination strength of the first insulating part 4 and the electrode terminal 3, which helps to reduce the risk of the electrode terminal 3 being pulled out of the shell 2, and improve the reliability of the battery monomer 10.

[0230] It is to be understood that, in the case where the limiting groove 301 penetrates the outer peripheral wall of the boss 32 in the radial direction X without penetrating the first wall 302 in the axial direction Z, or in the case where the limiting groove 301 penetrates the first wall 302 in the axial direction Z without penetrating the outer peripheral wall of the boss 32 in the radial direction X, in some possible designs, the limiting groove 301 can be arranged to extend in the circumferential direction Y to be substantially annular and surround the outer peripheral wall of the boss 32. Based on this, the limiting member 42 can be arranged to extend in the circumferential direction Y to be substantially annular, or can be arranged to be a plurality of limiting members 42 arranged to be spaced apart in the circumferential direction Y. In other possible designs, the limiting groove 301 can also be arranged to be a plurality of limiting grooves 301 arranged to be spaced apart in the circumferential direction Y. Based on this, the limiting member 42 is arranged to be a plurality of limiting members 42 arranged to be spaced apart in the circumferential direction Y, and the plurality of limiting members 42 can be arranged to be correspondingly limited in the plurality of limiting grooves 301.

[0231] In other embodiments, the limiting groove 301 can penetrate the outer peripheral wall of the boss 32 in the radial direction X and penetrate the first wall 302 in the axial direction Z. Based on this, the limiting groove 301 is arranged to be a plurality of limiting grooves 301 arranged to be spaced apart in the circumferential direction Y to ensure the structural integrity of the electrode terminal 3. Correspondingly, the limiting member 42 is arranged to be a plurality of limiting members 42 arranged to be spaced apart in the circumferential direction Y, and the plurality of limiting members 42 are arranged to be correspondingly limited in the plurality of limiting grooves 301.

[0232] In some embodiments, reference can be made to FIGS. 22 to 29 in combination with other drawings. FIG. 27 is an enlarged view of position O in FIG. 26, FIG. 28 is an enlarged sectional view of the electrode terminal 3 in FIG. 27, and FIG. 29 is a structural view of the electrode terminal 3 of the battery cell 10 provided in FIG. 22. In FIGS. 27 to 29, the electrode terminal 3 is a negative electrode terminal 3b. The at least one limiting groove 301 is a second limiting groove 301b arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the boss 32. In the radial direction X of the lead-out hole 201, the cross-sectional area of the second limiting groove 301b perpendicular to the radial direction X is arranged to gradually decrease towards the outer peripheral wall of the boss 32.

[0233] It can be understood that the second limiting groove 301b can penetrate the outer peripheral wall of the boss 32 in the radial direction X. In the direction of the second limiting groove 301b penetrating the outer peripheral wall of the boss 32 in the radial direction X, the cross-section of the second limiting groove 301b perpendicular to the radial direction X is arranged to taper.

[0234] Correspondingly, in the direction of the second limiting groove 301b penetrating the outer peripheral wall of the boss 32 in the radial direction X, the cross-section of the limiting member 42 perpendicular to the radial direction X is arranged to taper.

[0235] This configuration allows the groove wall of the second limiting groove 301b to radially limit the limiting member 42 (X). Thus, the first limiting groove 301a and the limiting member 42 can limit movement not only in the axial direction (Z) but also in the radial direction (X). This helps improve the bonding strength between the electrode terminal 3 and the first insulating member 4, thereby reducing the risk of the electrode terminal 3 detaching from the housing 2 and improving the reliability of the battery cell 10.

[0236] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 26 and 29 together, and in conjunction with other figures. There are multiple second limiting grooves 301b, and the multiple second limiting grooves 301b are distributed at intervals along the circumferential Y direction of the lead-out hole 201.

[0237] Correspondingly, there are multiple limiting members 42, which are distributed at intervals along the circumferential direction Y, and are respectively limited within multiple second limiting grooves 301b along the circumferential direction Y. As an example, the multiple limiting members 42 and the multiple second limiting grooves 301b are set in a one-to-one correspondence, and each limiting member 42 is respectively limited within each second limiting groove 301b.

[0238] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 27 and 28 together, and in conjunction with other figures. The circumferential dimension of the second limiting groove 301b is gradually reduced along the radial X direction toward the outer peripheral wall of the boss 32.

[0239] Understandably, in the direction of the second limiting groove 301b toward the outer peripheral wall of the boss 32 along the radial X direction, the circumferential dimension of the second limiting groove 301b is gradually reduced, so that the cross section of the second limiting groove 301b perpendicular to the radial X is gradually reduced.

[0240] This configuration allows the second limiting groove 301b to radially limit the limiting member 42 on at least one side of its groove wall along the circumferential Y direction. Furthermore, the second limiting groove 301b can also limit the limiting member 42 in the axial Z and circumferential Y directions.

[0241] In some embodiments, the axial dimension of the second limiting groove 301b is gradually reduced along the radial X toward the outer peripheral wall of the boss 32.

[0242] Understandably, the axial dimension of the second limiting groove 301b is gradually reduced in the direction of radial X toward the outer peripheral wall of the boss 32, so that the cross section of the second limiting groove 301b perpendicular to radial X is gradually reduced.

[0243] This configuration allows the second limiting groove 301b to radially limit the limiting member 42 on at least one side of the groove wall along the axial direction Z.

[0244] Based on this, in some possible designs, the second limiting groove 301b can be annular to surround the outer circumferential wall of the boss 32. Correspondingly, the second limiting groove 301b can also be provided as a plurality of second limiting grooves 301b, and the plurality of second limiting members 42 are distributed along the circumferential direction Y. In other possible designs, the number of the second limiting grooves 301b can be a plurality of second limiting grooves 301b, and the plurality of second limiting grooves 301b are distributed along the circumferential direction YY. Correspondingly, the number of the limiting members 42 can be a plurality of limiting members 42, and the plurality of limiting members 42 are distributed along the circumferential direction Y and correspondingly limited in the plurality of second limiting grooves 301b.

[0245] By adopting the above technical solution, the cross-sectional area of the second limiting groove 301b perpendicular to the radial direction X can be gradually reduced in the direction of the outer circumferential wall of the boss 32, so that the groove wall of the second limiting groove 301b can limit the limiting member 42 in the radial direction X. In this way, it is helpful to improve the bonding strength between the electrode terminal 3 and the first insulating member 4, to improve the bonding strength between the first insulating member 4 and the shell 2, to reduce the risk of the electrode terminal 3 being pulled out of the shell 2, and to improve the reliability of the battery monomer 10.

[0246] In some embodiments, please refer to FIGS. 26-29, and in combination with other drawings. The number of the second limiting groove 301b is a plurality of second limiting grooves 301b, and the plurality of second limiting grooves 301b are distributed along the circumferential direction Y of the lead-out hole 201, and the groove walls on the opposite sides of the second limiting groove 301b in the circumferential direction Y are tapered in the radial direction X towards the outer circumferential wall of the boss 32.

[0247] The groove walls on the opposite sides of the second limiting groove 301b in the circumferential direction Y are respectively a ninth groove wall 3021 and a tenth groove wall 3022, and the limiting member 42 is limited between the ninth groove wall 3021 and the tenth groove wall 3022 to be limited in the second limiting groove 301b in the circumferential direction Y.

[0248] In the direction of the outer circumferential wall of the boss 32 in the radial direction X, the ninth groove wall 3021 and the tenth groove wall 3022 are tapered, so that the second limiting groove 301b is closed at the outer circumferential wall of the electrode terminal 3, and both the ninth groove wall 3021 and the tenth groove wall 3022 can limit the limiting member 42 in the radial direction X, that is, the groove walls on the opposite sides of the second limiting groove 301b in the circumferential direction Y can limit the limiting member 42 in the radial direction XX.

[0249] In some embodiments, the groove walls on the opposite sides of the second limiting groove 301b in the axial direction Z are tapered in the radial direction X towards the outer circumferential wall of the boss 32.

[0250] In this way, the second limiting groove 301b can be closed at the outer peripheral wall of the boss 32 in the direction of the radial direction X, so that the two groove walls on the opposite sides of the second limiting groove 301b in the axial direction Z can limit the limiting piece 42 in the radial direction X.

[0251] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting strength of the second limiting groove 301b to the limiting piece 42 in the radial direction X can be improved, so as to improve the combination strength between the electrode terminal 3 and the first insulating piece 4, and reduce the risk of the electrode terminal 3 being pulled out of the shell 2.

[0252] In some embodiments, the fifth size of the second limiting groove 301b = [0.6, 0.9] * the sixth size of the second limiting groove 301b. The fifth size is the axial size of the second limiting groove 301b at one end of the outer peripheral wall of the boss 32, and the sixth size is the axial size of the second limiting groove 301b away from one end of the outer peripheral wall of the boss 32 in the radial direction X.

[0253] That is, the fifth size is greater than or equal to 0.6 times the sixth size, and the fifth size is less than or equal to 0.9 times the sixth size.

[0254] In this way, the limiting piece 42 can be effectively limited in the second limiting groove 301b in the radial direction X. Moreover, the closing arrangement of the second limiting groove 301b at the outer peripheral wall of the boss 32 is not too small, so as to facilitate the limiting piece 42 to enter the second limiting groove 301b.

[0255] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG. 27 and FIG. 28, and combine with other drawings. The seventh size L5 of the second limiting groove 301b = [0.6, 0.9] * the eighth size L6 of the second limiting groove 301b. The seventh size L5 is the circumferential size of the second limiting groove 301b at one end of the outer peripheral wall of the boss 32, and the eighth size L6 is the circumferential size of the second limiting groove 301b away from one end of the outer peripheral wall of the boss 32 in the radial direction X.

[0256] It can be understood that the seventh size L5 is greater than or equal to 0.6 times the eighth size L6, and the seventh size L5 is less than or equal to 0.9 times the eighth size L6.

[0257] In this way, the limiting piece 42 can be effectively limited in the second limiting groove 301b in the radial direction X. Moreover, the closing arrangement of the second limiting groove 301b at the outer peripheral wall of the boss 32 is not too small, so as to facilitate the limiting piece 42 to enter the second limiting groove 301b.

[0258] For the convenience of description, it is assumed here that the axial size of the boss 32 is the ninth size L7.

[0259] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG. 30 and FIG. 31, and combine with other drawings. FIG. 30 is a sectional view of the electrode terminal 3 of the battery cell 10 provided in some embodiments of the present application, and FIG. 31 is an enlarged view of P in FIG. 30. In FIG. 30 and FIG. 31, the electrode terminal 3 is the positive electrode terminal 3a. The electrode terminal 3 includes the positive electrode terminal 3a, and the limiting groove 301 of the positive electrode terminal 3a is arranged on the boss 32. The axial dimension of the limiting groove 301 of the positive electrode terminal 3a = [1 / 3, 2 / 3] * the axial dimension of the boss 32.

[0260] For the convenience of description, it is assumed that the axial dimension of the limiting groove 301 of the positive electrode terminal 3a is the tenth dimension L8.

[0261] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG. 30 and FIG. 31, and combine with other drawings. FIG. 30 is a sectional view of the electrode terminal 3 of the battery cell 10 provided in some embodiments of the present application, and FIG. 31 is an enlarged view of P in FIG. 30. In FIG. 30 and FIG. 31, the electrode terminal 3 is the positive electrode terminal 3a. The electrode terminal 3 includes the positive electrode terminal 3a, and the limiting groove 301 of the positive electrode terminal 3a is arranged on the boss 32. The axial dimension of the limiting groove 301 of the positive electrode terminal 3a = [1 / 3, 2 / 3] * the axial dimension of the boss 32.

[0262] When the first groove section 3011 and the second groove section 3012 of the limiting groove 301 are distributed along the axial direction Z, the tenth dimension L8 = the sum of the axial dimension of the first groove section 3011 and the axial dimension of the second groove section 3012.

[0263] It can be understood that the tenth dimension L8 ≥ 1 / 3 * the axial dimension of the boss 32, and the tenth dimension L8 ≤ 2 / 3 * the axial dimension of the boss 32.

[0264] In this way, the limiting groove 301 occupies a relatively appropriate dimension proportion of the boss 32 of the positive electrode terminal 3a in the axial direction Z, so that the limiting groove 301 can effectively limit the limiting member 42 and at the same time ensure the structural strength and the overcurrent capacity of the boss 32 to a certain extent.

[0265] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG. 12 and FIG. 29, and combine with other drawings. The electrode terminal 3 includes the negative electrode terminal 3b, and the negative electrode terminal 3b further includes the composite layer 33. The material of the composite layer 33 is different from that of the terminal body 31 and is the same as that of the boss 32. The composite layer 33 is arranged between the terminal body 31 and the boss 32. The radial dimension of the composite layer 33 is greater than that of the boss 32, and the composite layer 33 covers the lead-out hole 201.

[0266] It can be understood that the terminal body 31, the composite layer 33, and the boss 32 are sequentially distributed along the axial direction Z.

[0267] The material of the composite layer 33 and the boss 32 is the same, and the material of the composite layer 33 and the terminal body 31 is different, so that the negative electrode terminal 3b is a composite pole that is composed of different materials. As an example, the material of the terminal body 31 is aluminum, and the terminal body 31 constitutes an outer pole of the negative electrode terminal 3b; the material of the composite layer 33 and the boss 32 is the same and is copper, and the composite layer 33 and the boss 32 constitute an inner pole of the electrode terminal 3.

[0268] By the radial dimension of the composite layer 33 being greater than the radial dimension of the boss 32, on the one hand, the composite strength between the outer pole and the inner pole can be improved, and the risk of the terminal body 31 being pulled out of the shell 2 can be improved. On the other hand, the composite layer 33 covers the lead-out hole 201, so that, on the basis of the sealing ring 8 being used to seal the connection between the negative electrode terminal 3b and the shell 2, the sealing ring 8 can be sealed between the composite layer 33 and the shell 2 in the axial direction Z, so that the problem of the electrolyte in the shell 2 damaging the composite interface between the composite layer 33 and the terminal body 31 can be effectively improved, and the structural strength of the electrode terminal 3 can be ensured and maintained to a certain extent.

[0269] In addition, the boss 32 is provided, so that the sealing ring 8 can be sleeved on the outer periphery of the boss 32 and sealed between the composite layer 33 and the shell 2 in the axial direction Z. In this way, the distance between the position for welding of the electrode terminal 3 and the sealing ring 8 can be lengthened, and the problem that heat generated during welding is quickly transferred to the sealing ring 8 to damage the sealing ring 8 can be improved when the boss 32 is welded.

[0270] It should be noted here that the limiting groove 301 of the negative electrode terminal 3b can be provided on the boss 32 or on the boss 32 and the composite layer 33.

[0271] For ease of description, it is assumed here that the axial dimension of the composite layer 33 is an eleventh dimension L9.

[0272] In some embodiments, reference should be made to FIGS. 12, 20 and 21, and in combination with other drawings. The axial dimension of the limiting groove 301 of the negative electrode terminal 3b is equal to [1 / 3, 2 / 3] * the sum of the axial dimensions of the boss 32 and the composite layer 33.

[0273] For ease of description, it is assumed here that the axial dimension of the limiting groove 301 of the negative electrode terminal 3b is a twelfth dimension L10.

[0274] When the first slot section 3011 and the second slot section 3012 of the limiting slot 301 are distributed along the radial direction X, the twelfth size L10 = max (axial size of the first slot section 3011, axial size of the second slot section 3012). For example, as shown in FIG. 12, the second slot section 3012 protrudes from the first slot section 3011 along the axial direction Z, so that max (axial size of the first slot section 3011, axial size of the second slot section 3012) = axial size of the second slot section 3012, that is, the twelfth size L10 is the axial size of the second slot section 3012.

[0275] When the first slot section 3011 and the second slot section 3012 of the limiting slot 301 are distributed along the axial direction Z, as shown in FIG. 21, the twelfth size L10 = sum of the axial size of the first slot section 3011 and the axial size of the second slot section 3012. In FIG. 21, the twelfth size L10 is the fourth size L4.

[0276] It can be understood that the twelfth size L10 ≥ 1 / 3 * sum of the ninth size L7 and the eleventh size L9, and the twelfth size L10 ≤ 2 / 3 * sum of the ninth size L7 and the eleventh size L9.

[0277] In this way, the limiting slot 301 occupies a relatively appropriate size ratio of the boss 32 and the composite layer 33 of the negative electrode terminal 3b in the axial direction Z, so that the limiting slot 301 can effectively limit the limiting piece 42, and to a certain extent, the structural strength and flow capacity of the boss 32 and the composite layer 33 can be guaranteed.

[0278] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG. 12, and combine with other drawings. The electrode terminal 3 is provided with a welding portion 321 close to the electrode assembly 1. In FIG. 12, the welding portion 321 is divided by a dashed line.

[0279] It can be understood that the end of the electrode terminal 3 close to the electrode assembly 1 is the first wall 302, and the welding portion 321 is a part of the first wall 302.

[0280] The welding portion 321 is used for welding the electrode assembly 1; or the welding portion 321 is used for welding the adapter structure 7.

[0281] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG. 12, and combine with other drawings. In the radial direction X of the lead-out hole 201, the slot wall of the limiting slot 301 protrudes or is flush with the welding portion 321 away from the outer peripheral wall of the electrode terminal 3.

[0282] Specifically, in the radial direction X, the slot wall of the limiting slot 301 protrudes or is flush with the welding portion 321 away from the outer peripheral wall of the boss 32.

[0283] When the limiting groove 301 comprises the first groove segment 3011 and the second groove segment 3012, in the radial direction X, the groove wall of the limiting groove 301 away from the outer peripheral wall of the electrode terminal 3 is the fourth groove wall 3016 of the second groove segment 3012.

[0284] Alternatively, in some embodiments, in the radial direction X of the lead-out hole 201, the welding portion 321 protrudes from the groove wall of the limiting groove 301 away from the outer peripheral wall of the electrode terminal 3, and in the axial direction Z, the distance between the groove wall of the limiting groove 301 close to the welding portion 321 and the welding portion 321 is ≥1mm.

[0285] Specifically, in the radial direction X, the welding portion 321 protrudes from the groove wall of the limiting groove 301 away from the outer peripheral wall of the boss 32 towards the outer peripheral wall of the boss 32.

[0286] When the limiting groove 301 comprises the first groove segment 3011 and the second groove segment 3012, in the radial direction X, the groove wall of the limiting groove 301 away from the outer peripheral wall of the boss 32 is the fourth groove wall 3016 of the second groove segment 3012.

[0287] When the second groove segment 3012 exceeds the first groove segment 3011 along the axial direction Z towards the electrode terminal 3, in the axial direction Z, the groove wall of the limiting groove 301 close to the welding portion 321 is the fifth groove wall 3017 of the second groove segment 3012; when the second groove segment 3012 exceeds the first groove segment 3011 along the axial direction Z away from the electrode terminal 3, in the axial direction Z, the groove wall of the limiting groove 301 close to the welding portion 321 is the sixth groove wall 3018 of the second groove segment 3012.

[0288] In the axial direction Z, the distance between the groove wall of the limiting groove 301 close to the welding portion 321 and the welding portion 321 is a first distance, the first distance ≥1mm, and specifically can be 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 3.5mm, 4mm, 4.5mm, etc.

[0289] In this way, when the adapter structure 7 or the electrode assembly 1 is welded to the welding portion 321, the problem of the limiting groove 301 being damaged during welding can be improved, the welding work of the welding portion 321 can be ensured to a certain extent, and the limiting groove 301 can effectively limit the limiting piece 42.

[0290] In some embodiments, in the radial direction X of the lead-out hole 201, the welding portion 321 protrudes from the groove wall of the limiting groove 301 away from the outer peripheral wall of the electrode terminal 3, and in the axial direction Z, the distance between the one end of the limiting groove 301 close to the welding portion 321 and the welding portion 321 ranges from 1.5mm to 3.5mm.

[0291] That is, the first distance ranges from 1.5 mm to 3.5 mm, and can be 1.5 mm, 1.8 mm, 2 mm, 2.2 mm, 2.5 mm, 2.7 mm, 3 mm, 3.3 mm, 3.5 mm, etc.

[0292] In this way, the limiting groove 301 has a proper distance between the one end close to the welding portion 321 and the welding portion 321 in the axial direction Z. In this way, on the one hand, the problem that the limiting groove 301 is damaged during welding can be improved, and on the other hand, the limiting groove 301 can occupy a proper size proportion of the electrode terminal 3 in the axial direction Z, so that the limiting groove 301 can effectively limit the limiting member 42.

[0294] The connecting member 43 is part of the structure of the first insulating member 4 and has an insulating property.

[0295] By surrounding the outer periphery of the boss 32 and being connected between the connecting member 43 and the insulating body 41, the connecting member 43 is arranged between the inner peripheral wall of the lead-out hole 201 and the outer peripheral wall of the boss 32. In this way, the connecting member 43 not only realizes the connection between the limiting member 42 and the insulating body 41, but also realizes the insulating effect between the shell 2 and the boss 32, thereby helping to improve the reliability of the battery monomer 10.

[0296] In some embodiments, the first insulating member 4 is injection molded to be connected to the electrode terminal 3.

[0297] It can be understood that the first insulating member 4 is connected to the electrode terminal 3 by injection molding.

[0298] In this way, the limiting member 42 of the first insulating member 4 can fully enter the limiting groove 301, thereby forming a very firm and stable limiting relationship with the limiting groove 301. In this way, the bonding strength between the electrode terminal 3 and the first insulating member 4 can be improved, so as to reduce the risk of the electrode terminal 3 being pulled out of the shell 2.

Therefore, through the setting of the second insulating member 6 and the fixing member 5, the insulating connection between the electrode terminal 3 and the shell 2 is realized.

[0303] Specifically, the second insulating member 6 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the terminal body 31, and the fixing member 5 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the fixing member 5.
