[0054] At present, from the development of market situation, the application of battery is more and more widely. The battery is not only applied to the energy storage power supply system of hydropower, thermal power, wind power and solar power station, but also widely applied to electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric vehicles and other electric vehicles, military equipment, aerospace and other fields. With the continuous expansion of the application field of battery, people's requirements for battery are also constantly improving.

[0055] The battery device mentioned in the embodiments of the present application refers to a single physical module including one or more battery cells to provide higher voltage and capacity.

[0056] The battery cell can be a secondary battery cell, which refers to a battery cell that can be activated by charging after discharging the battery cell.

[0057] The battery cell can be a lithium ion battery cell, a sodium ion battery cell, a sodium lithium ion battery cell, a lithium metal battery cell, a sodium metal battery cell, a lithium sulfur battery cell, a magnesium ion battery cell, a nickel hydrogen battery cell, a nickel cadmium battery cell, a lead storage battery cell, etc.

[0059] In some embodiments, the battery device can be a battery module, and when there are a plurality of battery cells, the plurality of battery cells are arranged and fixed to form a battery module.

[0060] In some embodiments, the battery device can be a battery pack, and the battery pack includes a box body and a battery cell, and the battery cell or the battery module is accommodated in the box body.

[0062] In some embodiments, the battery device can be an energy storage device. The energy storage device includes an energy storage container, an energy storage cabinet, etc.

[0063] In order to meet the requirements of output voltage, capacity, etc., a large number of battery cells are usually arranged in the battery device, and the plurality of battery cells in the battery device are usually arranged in close proximity in order to fully utilize the internal space of the battery device. This makes it risky for the housings of adjacent battery cells to overlap, and short circuits are likely to occur between adjacent battery cells.

[0064] At present, in order to reduce the risk of short circuit between adjacent battery monomers, an insulating film is usually wrapped on the shell of the battery monomer. However, due to the special design such as notch, convex rib and manufacturing defects such as uneven surface on the shell, the insulating film sometimes cannot be attached to the outer surface of the shell, and the concave part of the outer surface of the shell will exist between the insulating film. Under alternating voltage, the air may concentrate electric field, and when the peak of the electric field exceeds the dielectric strength of the air, the air will be broken down, which will reduce the insulation performance of the insulating film, and even damage the insulating film, reducing the reliability of the battery monomer.

[0065] In order to improve the reliability of the battery monomer, some embodiments of the present application provide a battery monomer, which comprises an electrode assembly, a shell, an insulating coating and an insulating film, the electrode assembly is contained in the shell, the outer side of the shell is provided with a concave part, the insulating coating is coated on the outer surface of the shell, and at least part of the insulating coating is contained in the concave part, and the insulating film is wrapped on the outer surface of the shell and covers at least part of the concave part. In the above structure, since the outer surface of the shell is coated with the insulating coating and at least part of the insulating coating is contained in the concave part, the air in the concave part is not easy to directly contact with the shell, the electric field distribution of the air in the concave part is improved, the risk of the air in the concave part being broken down is reduced, the insulation performance of the battery monomer with the concave part of the outer surface is improved, and the reliability of the battery monomer is improved.

[0066] The battery monomer described in the embodiments of the present application is suitable for a battery device and a power consumption device using the battery device.

[0067] The power consumption device can be a vehicle, a mobile phone, a portable device, a notebook computer, a ship, a spacecraft, an electric toy and an electric tool, etc. The vehicle can be a fuel automobile, a gas automobile or a new energy automobile, and the new energy automobile can be a pure electric automobile, a hybrid electric automobile or a range extended automobile, etc. The spacecraft includes an airplane, a rocket, a space shuttle and a spacecraft, etc. The electric toy includes a fixed or mobile electric toy, such as a game machine, an electric automobile toy, an electric ship toy and an electric airplane toy, etc. The electric tool includes a metal cutting electric tool, a grinding electric tool, an assembling electric tool and a railway electric tool, such as an electric drill, an electric grinder, an electric wrench, an electric screwdriver, an electric hammer, an impact electric drill, a concrete vibrator and an electric planer, etc.

Of course, the first box body part 5a and the second box body part 5b can have various shapes, such as a cylinder, a cuboid, etc.

[0075] To improve the sealing performance of the first box body part 5a and the second box body part 5b after being connected, a sealing member such as sealing glue, a sealing ring, etc. can be arranged between the first box body part 5a and the second box body part 5b.

[0076] Supposing that the first box body part 5a is covered on the top of the second box body part 5b, the first box body part 5a can also be referred to as an upper box cover, and the second box body part 5b can also be referred to as a lower box body.

[0077] In the battery device 2, the battery cell 7 can be one or multiple. If the battery cell 7 is multiple, the multiple battery cells 7 can be connected in series, in parallel, or in a mixed connection, where the mixed connection means that the multiple battery cells 7 are connected in series and in parallel. The multiple battery cells 7 can be directly connected in series, in parallel, or in a mixed connection, and then the multiple battery cells 7 are accommodated in the box 5 as a whole. Alternatively, the multiple battery cells 7 can be connected in series, in parallel, or in a mixed connection to form a battery module, and then the multiple battery modules are connected in series, in parallel, or in a mixed connection to form a whole and are accommodated in the box 5.

[0078] The battery cell 7 can be a cylindrical battery cell, a square battery cell, or a battery cell of other shapes.

[0079] As shown in FIG. 3, in some embodiments, the battery cell 7 includes a housing 20 and an electrode assembly 30. The electrode assembly 30 is accommodated in the housing 20.

[0080] The housing 20 can be of various shapes and sizes, such as a cuboid, a hexagonal prism, etc. Specifically, the shape of the housing 20 can be determined according to the specific shape and size of the electrode assembly 30. The material of the housing 20 can be various, such as copper, iron, aluminum, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, etc., and the embodiments of the present application do not make special limitations thereon.

[0081] The electrode assembly 30 is a component in which electrochemical reactions occur in the battery cell 7. One or more electrode assemblies 30 can be contained in the housing 20.

[0082] Some embodiments of the present application provide a battery cell 7, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, which includes an electrode assembly 30, a housing 20, an insulating coating 50, and an insulating film 40. The electrode assembly 30 is accommodated in the housing 20, and the housing 20 is provided with a recess 201 on the outer side thereof. The insulating coating 50 is coated on the outer surface of the housing 20, and at least part of the insulating coating 50 is accommodated in the recess 201. The insulating film 40 is wrapped on the outer surface of the housing 20, and the insulating film 40 covers at least part of the recess 201.

[0083] The electrode assembly 30 can include a tab and a separator. The tab can include a positive tab or a negative tab with opposite polarity, and the positive tab and the negative tab can serve as a positive electrode and a negative electrode, respectively. During the charging and discharging process of the battery cell 7, active ions (e.g., lithium ions) are inserted into and extracted from the positive electrode and the negative electrode. The separator is arranged between the positive tab and the negative tab, and is used to separate the positive tab and the negative tab, thereby preventing short circuit between the positive electrode and the negative electrode while allowing the active ions to pass through.

[0084] The electrolyte in the shell 20 plays a role of conducting ions between the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the electrode assembly 30. The electrolyte can be in a liquid state, a gel state or a solid state. The kind of electrolyte can be selected by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions.

[0085] The shell 20 can be a component in the battery cell 7 for enclosing a sealed space, which is used to accommodate other components in the battery cell 7. The insulating coating 50 can be a coating structure coated on the outer surface of the shell 20 away from the electrode assembly 30. Since the insulating coating 50 has good insulation capability, by coating the insulating coating 50 on the outer surface of the shell 20 away from the electrode assembly 30, the risk of short circuit between the outer surface of the shell 20 and other components can be reduced.

[0086] The recess 201 can refer to a structure formed by the outer surface of the shell 20 being inwardly recessed away from the electrode assembly 30. Exemplarily, it can be formed by a processing defect of the outer surface of the shell 20 or a processing notch on the outer surface of the shell 20 away from the electrode assembly 30, etc.

[0087] At least part of the insulating coating 50 can be accommodated in the recess 201. This can mean that the entire insulating coating 50 is located in the recess 201. Alternatively, the insulating coating 50 can be partially located in the recess 201 and partially located outside the recess 201, and the insulating coating 50 located outside the recess 201 is coated on the outer surface of the shell 20 connected to the inner wall surface of the recess 201.

[0088] The insulating film 40 can be a thin film structure having insulation performance. By covering the insulating film 40 on the outer surface of the shell 20, the insulation capability of the shell 20 can be improved, so that the battery cell 7 has good insulation capability and is not prone to short circuit with adjacent battery cells 7, which is conducive to improving the reliability of the battery device 2.

[0089] Exemplarily, the insulating film 40 can be made of plastic, rubber or other materials having insulation performance, so as to have good insulation performance.

[0090] The insulating film 40 covers at least part of the recess 201. This can mean that part of the recess 201 is covered by the insulating film 40. Alternatively, this can mean that the entire recess 201 is covered by the insulating film 40.

[0091] In the above structure, since the outer surface of the shell 20 is coated with the insulating coating 50 and at least part of the insulating coating 50 is accommodated in the recess 201, the air in the recess 201 is not prone to directly contact the shell 20, the electric field distribution of the air in the recess 201 is improved, the risk of the air in the recess 201 being broken down is reduced, the insulation performance of the outer surface of the battery cell 7 having the recess 201 is improved, and the reliability of the battery cell 7 is improved.

[0092] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 5, the shell 20 includes a first shell wall 202, and the recess 201 is arranged on the first shell wall 202; in the thickness direction of the first shell wall 202, the projection of the recess 201 falls within the projection range of the insulating coating 50.

[0093] The first shell wall 202 can be a partial wall structure in the shell 20. The recess 201 is arranged on the first shell wall 202, which can be that the recess 201 is formed by the first shell wall 202 being inwardly recessed from the outer wall surface facing the electrode assembly 30.

[0094] By making the projection of the recess 201 in the thickness direction of the first shell wall 202 fall within the projection range of the insulating coating 50 in the thickness direction of the first shell wall 202, the insulating coating 50 is arranged on the inner wall surface of the entire recess 201, so that the inner wall surface of the entire recess 201 is not directly in contact with the air in the recess 201, reducing the possibility of the air in the recess 201 being broken down, and improving the insulation performance of the outer surface of the battery monomer 7 having the recess 201.

[0095] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 6, the first shell wall 202 includes a first surface 203, and the recess 201 is recessed relative to the first surface 203, and part of the insulating coating 50 exceeds the recess 201 and is coated on the first surface 203.

[0096] The first surface 203 can refer to the outer surface of the first shell wall 202 facing away from the electrode assembly 30, and the recess 201 is arranged on the first surface 203 and is inwardly recessed from the first surface 203. Part of the insulating coating 50 exceeds the recess 201 and is coated on the first surface 203, which can be that the insulating coating 50 is not only coated on the inner wall surface of the entire recess 201, but also part of the insulating coating 50 exceeds the recess 201 and is coated on the first surface 203 in a certain direction of the circumferential direction of the recess 201, so that part of the first surface 203 connected with the inner wall surface of the recess 201 is coated with the insulating coating 50; it can also be that the insulating coating 50 is not only coated on the inner wall surface of the entire recess 201, but also part of the insulating coating 50 exceeds the recess 201 and is coated on the first surface 203 in the entire circumferential direction of the recess 201, so that the connection between the first surface 203 and the inner wall surface of the recess 201 is coated with the insulating coating 50, further reducing the possibility of the air in the recess 201 being broken down, and being conducive to improving the insulation performance of the first surface 203 of the battery monomer 7.

[0097] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 7, the included angle between the side wall surface of the recess 201 and the outer surface of the first shell wall 202 is A, and 60°≤A<90°.

[0098] By setting the range of the included angle A between the side wall surface of the recess 201 and the outer surface of the first shell wall 202 to 60°≤A<90°, the corner of the air in the recess 201 can be increased, not only the electric field distribution in the air can be improved, which is conducive to reducing the electric field peak value at the corner and reducing the risk of local breakdown in the air, but also the corner of the air in the recess 201 is not easy to be too large, which is conducive to reducing the processing difficulty of the recess 201.

[0099] In some embodiments, 75°≤A<90°.

[0100] By setting the range of the included angle A between the side wall surface of the recess 201 and the outer surface of the first shell wall 202 to 75°≤A<90°, for example, the included angle A between the side wall surface of the recess 201 and the outer surface of the first shell wall 202 can be 75°, 80° or 85°, the corner of the air in the recess 201 can be increased, not only the electric field distribution in the air can be improved, which is conducive to reducing the electric field peak value at the corner and reducing the risk of local breakdown in the air, but also the corner of the air in the recess 201 is not easy to be too large, which is conducive to reducing the processing difficulty of the recess 201.

[0101] In some embodiments, with reference to FIG. 6, the side wall surface of the recess 201 includes a main surface 2011 and a transition surface 2012, and the transition surface 2012 is connected between the main surface 2011 and the outer surface of the first shell wall 202.

[0102] The inner wall surface of the recess 201 includes the side wall surface and the bottom wall surface connected to each other, the side wall surface can be the inner circumferential surface around the recess 201, and the bottom wall surface is arranged relative to the opening of the recess 201. The main surface 2011 can be the main part of the side wall surface of the recess 201, and the transition surface 2012 can be the part of the side wall surface of the recess 201 connected between the main surface 2011 and the outer surface of the first shell wall 202, which can play a transition role between the main surface 2011 and the outer surface of the first shell wall 202, so that the main surface 2011 and the outer surface of the first shell wall 202 can be well transitioned. For example, the transition surface 2012 can be an arc surface, or can be an inclined surface.

[0103] In some embodiments, at least part of the transition surface 2012 is configured as an arc surface.

[0104] By configuring at least part of the transition surface 2012 as an arc surface, the transition surface 2012 can be more smoothly connected between the main surface 2011 and the outer surface of the first shell wall 202, which is conducive to reducing the possibility of sharp corners at the corner and reducing the possibility of electric field concentration.

[0105] For example, the arc surface in the transition surface 2012 can be a circular arc surface, or can be an elliptical arc surface, and the shape of the arc surface can be set by the person skilled in the art according to the actual situation.

[0106] In some embodiments, at least part of the transition surface 2012 is configured as a plane.

[0107] By configuring at least part of the transition surface 2012 as a plane, the transition surface 2012 is able to connect between the main surface 2011 and the outer surface of the first shell wall 202 more gently, which is conducive to making the corner more gentle and reducing the possibility of electric field concentration at the corner.

[0108] In some embodiments, the radius of the arc surface is R, and 20 μm≤R≤100 μm.

[0109] By setting the range of the radius R of the arc surface as 20 μm≤R≤100 μm, not only is the arc surface large enough in radius to enable the arc surface to achieve a gentle transition between the main surface 2011 and the outer surface of the first shell wall 202, which is conducive to reducing the possibility of electric field concentration at the corner of the air; but also the arc surface is not easy to affect the structure of the recess 201 due to having too large a radius.

[0110] In some embodiments, the radius R of the arc surface is set to 40 μm≤R≤80 μm, and the radius R of the arc surface can be set to 50 μm, 60 μm, or 70 μm, for example. Not only is the arc surface large enough in radius to enable the arc surface to achieve a gentle transition between the main surface 2011 and the outer surface of the first shell wall 202, which is conducive to reducing the possibility of electric field concentration at the corner of the air; but also the arc surface is not easy to affect the structure of the recess 201 due to having too large a radius.

[0111] In some embodiments, the dielectric strength of the insulating coating 50 is P, and P≥400 kV / mm.

[0112] The dielectric strength is a measure of the electrical strength of a material as an insulator, which is the maximum voltage per unit thickness that a sample can withstand before being punctured. By setting the range of the dielectric strength P of the insulating coating 50 as P≥400 kV / mm, the insulating coating 50 has good insulating properties and is not easy to be punctured, so that the outer shell 20 is not easy to discharge and the air in the recess 201 is not easy to be punctured under the isolation of the insulating coating 50.

[0113] For example, the dielectric strength of the insulating coating 50 can be obtained by measuring the insulating coating 50 according to the national standard GB / T 1408.1-2006, and the specific measurement method can be referred to the national standard GB / T 1408.1-2006, which will not be described here.

[0114] In some embodiments, the insulating coating 50 includes at least one of a polyimide coating, an ultraviolet curing coating, and an epoxy coating.

[0115] The polyimide coating can refer to a coating structure formed by polyimide, the ultraviolet curing coating can refer to a coating structure formed by ultraviolet curing coating, and the epoxy coating can refer to a coating structure formed by epoxy resin.

[0116] The at least one of the polyimide coating, the ultraviolet curing coating and the epoxy coating included in the insulating coating 50 can refer to that the entire insulating coating 50 is the polyimide coating, or the entire insulating coating 50 is the ultraviolet curing coating, or the entire insulating coating 50 is the epoxy coating; or can refer to that the insulating coating 50 includes the polyimide coating and the ultraviolet curing coating arranged in layers, or the insulating coating 50 includes the polyimide coating and the epoxy coating arranged in layers, or the insulating coating 50 includes the ultraviolet curing coating and the epoxy coating arranged in layers; or can refer to that the insulating coating 50 includes the polyimide coating, the ultraviolet curing coating and the epoxy coating arranged in layers.

[0117] In some embodiments, the insulating coating 50 is made by an electrophoretic process, a spraying process or a printing process.

[0118] The electrophoretic process can be a process of depositing coating particles on a workpiece to form a coating structure under the action of electric field force. The spraying process can be a process of blowing coating into mist by airflow to adhere to the surface of the workpiece to form a coating structure. The printing process can be a process of printing coating on the surface of the workpiece to form a coating structure.

[0119] By making the insulating coating 50 by the electrophoretic process, the spraying process or the printing process, not only can the insulating coating 50 be firmly formed on the outer surface of the shell 20 and not easily fall off, but also the durability of the insulating coating 50 can be improved, and the insulating coating 50 can be conveniently formed on the inner wall surface of the recess 201.

[0120] In some embodiments, the thickness of the insulating coating 50 is set as H1, and the thickness of the insulating film 40 is set as H2, 1 / 4≤H1 / H2≤3 / 4.

[0121] By setting the ratio of the thickness H1 of the insulating coating 50 to the thickness H2 of the insulating film 40 as 1 / 4≤H1 / H2≤3 / 4, not only can the insulating coating 50 coated on the outer surface of the shell 20 have sufficient thickness to insulate the outer surface of the shell 20 together with the insulating film 40, but also the material waste of the insulating coating 50 can be avoided.

[0122] In some embodiments, the thickness of the insulating coating 50 is set as H1, and 30μm≤H1≤90μm.

[0123] By setting the thickness H1 of the insulating coating 50 in the range of 30 μm≤H1≤90 μm, not only does the insulating coating 50 have a sufficient thickness to achieve the insulating isolation of the air in the recess 201 from the shell 20, but also the thickness of the insulating coating 50 is not too large to cause waste of materials.

[0124] In some embodiments, the thickness H1 of the insulating coating 50 is set in the range of 60 μm≤H1≤90 μm, and the thickness H1 of the insulating coating 50 can be 75 μm, 80 μm or 85 μm, for example. Not only does the insulating coating 50 have a sufficient thickness to achieve the insulating isolation of the air in the recess 201 from the shell 20, but also the thickness of the insulating coating 50 is not too large to cause waste of materials.

[0125] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 8, the insulating film 40 includes a first film layer 401 and a second film layer 402 stacked, and the first film layer 401 and the second film layer 402 are both polyethylene terephthalate film layers.

[0126] The first film layer 401 and the second film layer 402 are different film layer structures stacked in the insulating film 40, respectively. By having the insulating film 40 include the first film layer 401 and the second film layer 402 stacked, the mechanical strength of the insulating film 40 is improved.

[0127] The polyethylene terephthalate film layer can refer to a film layer structure made of polyethylene terephthalate. By setting the first film layer 401 and the second film layer 402 to be polyethylene terephthalate film layers, not only does the insulating film 40 have a large dielectric strength, but also has excellent mechanical strength and oil resistance, cold resistance and heat resistance.

[0128] For example, the first film layer 401 and the second film layer 402 in the insulating film 40 can also be made of different materials. The first film layer 401 and the second film layer 402 can also be made of polyimide, and a person skilled in the art can select the materials of the first film layer 401 and the second film layer 402 according to the actual situation.

[0129] In some embodiments, the thickness of the insulating film 40 is set to H2, 100 μm≤H2≤200 μm.

[0130] By setting the thickness H2 of the insulating film 40 in the range of 100 μm≤H2≤200 μm, not only does the insulating film 40 have a sufficient thickness to have good insulating properties, but also the insulating film 40 is not prone to waste of materials due to excessive thickness.

[0131] In some embodiments, the thickness H2 of the insulating film 40 is set in a range of 100 pm≤H2≤180 pm, and the thickness H2 of the insulating film 40 can be set to 110 pm, 130 pm or 150 pm, for example, so that the insulating film 40 has a sufficient thickness to have good insulation performance and is not prone to cause waste of material due to excessive thickness.

[0132] In some embodiments, the interlayer peeling strength of the insulating film 40 and the shell 20 is B, and B≥400 N / m.

[0133] By setting the interlayer peeling strength B of the insulating film 40 and the shell 20 in a range of B≥400 N / m, the bonding of the insulating film 40 and the outer surface of the shell 20 is firm, so that the insulating film 40 is not prone to fall off from the shell 20.

[0134] For example, the interlayer peeling strength B of the insulating film 40 and the shell 20 can be determined according to the national standard GB / T 2792-2014, and the specific determination method can refer to the national standard GB / T 2792-2014, which will not be described here.

[0135] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 9, the insulating film 40 includes a structural layer 404 and an adhesive layer 403 arranged in layers, and the structural layer 404 is bonded to the outer surface of the shell 20 through the adhesive layer 403.

[0136] The adhesive layer 403 and the structural layer 404 are layered structures with different functions in the insulating film 40. The adhesive layer 403 can be formed by adhesive, and the structural layer 404 can be formed by the main material of the insulating film 40. The adhesive layer 403 can bond the structural layer 404 to the outer surface of the shell 20. The structural layer 404 is bonded to the outer surface of the shell 20 through the adhesive layer 403, so that the structural layer 404 can be firmly connected to the outer surface of the shell 20, thereby enabling the insulating film 40 to insulate and isolate the shell 20 from the outside.

[0137] In some embodiments, the interlayer peeling strength of the adhesive layer 403 and the structural layer 404 is greater than the interlayer peeling strength of the adhesive layer 403 and the shell 20.

[0138] By setting the interlayer peeling strength of the adhesive layer 403 and the structural layer 404 to be greater than the interlayer peeling strength of the adhesive layer 403 and the shell 20, the insulating film 40 is not prone to delamination, which is conducive to improving the structural integrity of the insulating film 40 and facilitating the complete peeling of the insulating film 40 from the shell 20 by tearing or the like.

[0139] In some embodiments, the adhesive layer 403 includes pressure-sensitive adhesive.

[0140] The pressure sensitive adhesive can be quickly adhered to the surface of the adherend under pressure, and after the adhering surface of the adherend is damaged, the pressure sensitive adhesive is not easy to contaminate the surface of the adherend, so that the insulating film 40 can be easily peeled off from the shell 20 and is not easy to contaminate the shell 20, and the insulating film 40 of the battery monomer 7 can be conveniently replaced.

[0141] Exemplarily, the pressure sensitive adhesive can include an acrylate pressure sensitive adhesive or a rubber system pressure sensitive adhesive. The rubber system pressure sensitive adhesive can be a natural rubber pressure sensitive adhesive, a synthetic rubber, a silicone pressure sensitive adhesive or a reclaimed rubber pressure sensitive adhesive.

[0142] In some embodiments, the shell 20 is a metal structure.

[0143] The shell 20 being a metal structure can mean that the shell 20 is made of a metal material. By setting the shell 20 as a metal structure, the shell 20 has good structural strength and can well protect the internal components.

[0144] Exemplarily, the shell 20 can be made of copper, iron, aluminum, stainless steel, aluminum alloy or the like.

[0145] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 10, the shell 20 includes a first part 204 and a second part 205 connected to each other, and the recess 201 is arranged on the first part 204 so that the thickness of at least part of the first part 204 is less than the thickness of the second part 205.

[0146] The first part 204 and the second part 205 can be two parts connected to each other in the shell 20. By arranging the recess 201 on the first part 204 so that the thickness of at least part of the first part 204 is less than the thickness of the second part 205, the structural strength of the first part 204 is less than that of the second part 205. When the pressure in the shell 20 reaches a preset value, the recess 201 of the first part 204 will be broken, and the pressure in the shell 20 will be released from the broken part, so that the recess 201 can play a role in pressure relief.

[0147] Some embodiments of the present application also provide a battery device 2, referring to FIG. 11, the battery device 2 includes a heat exchange member 8 and the battery monomer 7 provided by the above technical solutions, the heat exchange member 8 exchanges heat with the battery monomer 7, and the recess 201 is arranged on the side of the shell 20 facing the heat exchange member 8.

[0148] The heat exchange member 8 can be a device capable of exchanging heat with the battery monomer 7. By arranging the heat exchange member 8 in the battery device 2, the battery monomer 7 can be in an appropriate temperature range by heat exchange with the heat exchange member 8, which is beneficial to make the battery monomer 7 have a good working state.

[0149] The recess 201 is arranged on the side of the shell 20 facing the heat exchange element 8. This means that the outer surface of the shell 20 facing the heat exchange element 8 is recessed inward to form the recess 201, and the outer surface of the shell 20 facing the heat exchange element 8 is coated with an insulating coating 50, at least part of the insulating coating 50 is arranged in the recess 201, so that the insulating coating 50 can improve the insulation performance between the shell 20 and the heat exchange element 8.

[0150] In some embodiments, the insulating coating 50 is arranged on the outer surface of the shell 20 perpendicular to the surface facing the heat exchange element 8, and the size G of the insulating coating 50 extending on the outer surface perpendicular to the surface facing the heat exchange element 8 in the direction away from the heat exchange element 8 is 10mm≤G≤30mm.

[0151] By arranging the insulating coating 50 on the outer surface of the shell 20 perpendicular to the surface facing the heat exchange element 8, the insulating coating 50 on the outer surface can be connected with the insulating coating 50 on the surface facing the heat exchange element 8, which can better improve the insulation performance between the shell 20 and the heat exchange element 8, and reduce the possibility of short circuit between the shell 20 and the heat exchange element 8.

[0152] In the direction away from the heat exchange element 8, by setting the size G of the insulating coating 50 extending on the outer surface perpendicular to the surface facing the heat exchange element 8 in the range of 10mm≤G≤30mm, not only can the insulating coating 50 on the outer surface perpendicular to the surface facing the heat exchange element 8 have sufficient height to increase the creepage distance between the shell 20 and the heat exchange element 8, and reduce the possibility of short circuit between the shell 20 and the heat exchange element 8, but also the height of the insulating coating 50 on the outer surface perpendicular to the surface facing the heat exchange element 8 is not prone to material waste due to being too large.

[0153] In some embodiments, the size G of the insulating coating 50 extending on the outer surface perpendicular to the surface facing the heat exchange element 8 is set in the range of 15mm≤G≤25mm. For example, the size G of the insulating coating 50 extending on the outer surface perpendicular to the surface facing the heat exchange element 8 can be set to 18mm, 20mm or 23mm. Not only can the insulating coating 50 on the outer surface perpendicular to the surface facing the heat exchange element 8 have sufficient height to increase the creepage distance between the shell 20 and the heat exchange element 8, and reduce the possibility of short circuit between the shell 20 and the heat exchange element 8, but also the height of the insulating coating 50 on the outer surface perpendicular to the surface facing the heat exchange element 8 is not prone to material waste due to being too large.

[0154] Some embodiments of the present application also provide a power consumption device, which comprises the battery device 2 provided by the above technical solutions, and the battery device 2 is used to provide electric energy.

[0155] Some embodiments of the present application provide a battery cell 7, which comprises an electrode assembly 30, a housing 20, an insulating coating 50 and an insulating film 40, the electrode assembly 30 is accommodated in the housing 20, the housing 20 comprises a first shell wall 202, the first shell wall 202 comprises a first surface 203, the first shell wall 202 is provided with a recess 201 recessed relative to the first surface 203, part of the insulating coating 50 is accommodated in the recess 201, part of the insulating coating 50 exceeds the recess 201 and is coated on the first surface 203, and the insulating film 40 is coated on the outer surface of the housing 20 and covers the recess 201. In the above structure, since the outer surface of the housing 20 is coated with the insulating coating 50 and at least part of the insulating coating 50 is accommodated in the recess 201, the air in the recess 201 is not easy to directly contact with the housing 20, the electric field distribution of the air in the recess 201 is improved, the risk of the air in the recess 201 being broken down is reduced, the insulation performance of the outer surface of the battery cell 7 with the recess 201 is improved, and the reliability of the battery cell 7 is improved.
