One of the first connecting member 31 and the second connecting member 41 includes a snap-fit ​​hole 50, and the other includes a resilient snap fastener 60. The resilient snap fastener 60 engages with the snap-fit ​​hole 50 to connect the battery management component 40 to the fixing member 30, and the resilient snap fastener 60 is removed from the snap-fit ​​hole 50 to separate the battery management component 40 from the fixing member 30.

[0116] When the battery management component 40 is connected to the fixing member 30, the battery management component 40 can be fixed to the fixing member 30. When the battery management component 40 is separated from the fixing member 30, the battery management component 40 is detached from the fixing member 30. Thus, the elastic buckle 60 can be engaged with the buckle hole 50 or disengaged from the buckle hole 50 by operating the first connector 31 and / or the second connector 41, thereby making it easy to install and quickly remove the battery management component 40 from the fixing member 30, improving the assembly efficiency of the battery management component 40 and the fixing member 30, and reducing the number of fasteners used on the battery device 100, thus reducing costs to some extent.

[0117] Optionally, the battery device 100 includes a housing 10 and at least one battery cell 20. The housing 10 has a receiving cavity 13, within which the battery cell 20 and battery management component 40 are disposed. The housing 10 provides protection for the battery cell 20, battery management component 40, and other components of the battery device 100. The material of the housing 10 includes, but is not limited to, plastic, metal, and composite board. The shape of the housing 10 includes, but is not limited to, a cylinder and a cuboid.

[0118] The fastener 30 is configured to fix the battery cell 20, thereby fixing the position of the battery cell 20 within the housing 10 and, to a certain extent, preventing the battery cell 20 from colliding due to movement during the use of the battery device 100.

[0119] Optionally, in one embodiment, the battery device 100 includes at least one battery cell assembly 400 and at least one battery management component 40. The battery cell assembly 400 may include a plurality of battery cells 20, which are connected in series, parallel, or mixed connection via a busbar component.

[0120] A battery management component 40 is electrically connected to a corresponding battery cell assembly 400. The battery management component 40 is used to manage the parameter information (such as voltage, temperature, current, power, etc.) of all battery cells 20 in the battery cell assembly 400.

[0121] Optionally, the battery management component 40 includes a housing 42 and a circuit board. The circuit board is disposed within the housing 42 and has electrical components mounted on it. The electrical components and the circuit board enable the battery management component 40 to perform functions such as data transmission, analysis, communication, and control. The housing 42 provides protection for the electrical components and the circuit board. The material of the housing 42 includes, but is not limited to, metal, plastic, and composite materials. The shape of the housing 42 includes, but is not limited to, a cylinder and a cuboid. In the embodiments shown in Figures 3, 5, 10, and 12 to 14, the housing 42 is cuboid in shape.

[0122] The second connector 41 may be disposed on the housing 42. The second connector 41 and the housing 42 may be made of the same material or different materials. Optionally, the housing 42 and the second connector 41 are integrally formed, which can increase the connection strength between the housing 42 and the second connector 41 to a certain extent.

[0123] Optionally, in the embodiment shown in FIG3, the first connector 31 includes a snap hole 50, and the second connector 41 includes a resilient snap 60. Optionally, in one embodiment, the first connector 31 includes a resilient snap 60, and the second connector 41 includes a snap hole 50.

[0124] The fastener 30 can be a structural component of the housing 10 or a structural component fixed inside the housing 10. The fastener 30 is fixed relative to the housing 10, thereby effectively securing the battery management component 40. The material of the fastener 30 includes, but is not limited to, metal, plastic, and composite materials. As an example, the fastener 30 is made of metal and manufactured using a one-piece machining process. The fastener 30 and the first connector 31 may be made of the same or different materials. Optionally, the fastener 30 and the first connector 31 can be a one-piece molded structure, which can increase the connection strength between the fastener 30 and the first connector 31 to a certain extent.

[0125] The elastic clip 60 is elastic. When the battery management component 40 is connected to the fixing member 30, the elastic clip 60 can be firmly locked into the clip hole 50 under the action of elastic force, thereby preventing accidental separation of the battery management component 40 and the fixing member 30 to a certain extent. When the battery management component 40 is disassembled, the operator or equipment can operate the connecting member corresponding to the elastic clip 60 (such as the second connecting member 41 or the first connecting member 31) to make the elastic clip 60 elastically deform and disengage from the clip hole 50. The elastic clip 60 can be removed relative to the clip hole 50, thereby realizing the separation of the battery management component 40 and the fixing member 30. After the elastic clip 60 is removed relative to the clip hole 50, the elastic clip 60 can return to its elastic deformation.

[0126] During the assembly of the battery management component 40 and the fixing member 30, the operator or equipment can operate the connecting member (such as the second connecting member 41 or the first connecting member 31) corresponding to the elastic buckle 60 to cause the elastic buckle 60 to elastically deform. The elastic buckle 60, after elastic deformation, can return to its elastic deformation and lock into the buckle hole 50, thereby achieving the connection between the battery management component 40 and the fixing member 30. Afterwards, the operator or equipment can release the connecting member (first connecting member 31 or second connecting member 41) corresponding to the elastic buckle 60.

[0127] In summary, the cooperation between the elastic buckle 60 and the buckle hole 50 enables the battery management component 40 to be easily installed and quickly removed from the fixing member 30, which facilitates the maintenance of the battery management component 40.

[0128] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, referring to Figures 2, 7 to 8, the battery device 100 further includes a housing 10, a battery cell 20 disposed inside the housing 10, a fixing member 30 disposed at the end of a plurality of battery cells 20, and a battery management component 40 disposed on the side of the fixing member 30 away from the battery cells 20.

[0129] In the above embodiments, the fixing member 30 is disposed at the ends of the plurality of battery cells 20, thereby fixing the battery cells 20 at the ends of the plurality of battery cells 20, and to a certain extent avoiding collisions caused by movement of the battery cells 20 during use of the battery device 100. The battery management component 40 is disposed on the side of the fixing member away from the battery cells 20, so that the battery management component 40 is closer to the battery cells 20, which helps to reduce the length of the electrical connectors and reduce costs.

[0130] Optionally, the battery device 100 may include one or more battery cell assemblies 400. Multiple battery cells 20 of each battery cell assembly 400 may be electrically connected in series, parallel, or a combination thereof. A combination thereof means that multiple battery cells 20 are connected in both series and parallel configurations. Multiple battery cell assemblies 400 may be electrically connected in series, parallel, or a combination thereof to provide the current, voltage, capacity, etc., required by the battery device 100.

[0131] The multiple battery cells 20 of each battery cell assembly 400 can be arranged in a predetermined direction. Referring to Figure 7, the predetermined direction is the front-to-back direction shown in the figure. When the battery assembly 100 is installed on a vehicle, the predetermined direction can be a first direction, which can be the front-to-back direction of the vehicle or the left-to-right direction of the vehicle.

[0132] The fastener 30 can secure multiple battery cells 20 from their end plates, thus fixing the battery cells 20 in position within the housing 10. No relative movement occurs between the battery cells 20. Optionally, the bottom of the battery cells 20 can be connected to the inner bottom wall of the housing 10 using insulating adhesive.

[0133] The battery management component 40 is located on the side of the fixing member 30 away from the battery cell 20. The battery management component 40 is close to the fixing member 30. Since the fixing member 30 is a structural component that fixes multiple battery cells 20, the distance between the battery management component 40 and the battery cells 20 is also close. Therefore, the electrical connectors (such as wires, flexible circuit boards, etc.) that electrically connect the battery management component 40 and the battery cells 20 can be made shorter, reducing the amount of material used and thus reducing costs.

[0134] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, referring to Figures 2, 7 and 8, the fastener 30 abuts against the first side or the second side of the battery cell 20, wherein the first side is the surface with the largest area among the sides of the battery cell 20, and the second side is the surface of the battery cell 20 other than the first side.

[0135] In the above embodiments, the fastener 30 abuts against the first or second side of the battery cell 20, thereby enabling more effective fixation of the battery cell 20.

[0136] Optionally, in one embodiment, the battery cell 20 may be a prismatic battery cell. Optionally, the plurality of battery cells 20 in each battery cell assembly 400 are arranged along a predetermined direction with a first side facing the first side. In one embodiment, the fastener 30 may secure the battery cells 20 at both ends of the battery cell assembly 400 along the predetermined direction. During securing, the fastener 30 contacts the first side of the battery cells 20 located at both ends of the battery cell assembly 400 along the predetermined direction, thereby effectively securing the plurality of battery cells 20.

[0137] In one embodiment, the fastener 30 can secure the battery cells 20 at both ends of the battery cell assembly 400 along a second direction, with the first direction (the first direction) perpendicular to the second direction. For example, when the battery device 100 is installed on a vehicle, the first direction can be the vehicle's front-to-back direction, and the second direction can be the vehicle's left-to-right direction, or the first direction can be the vehicle's left-to-right direction, and the second direction can be the vehicle's front-to-back direction. During fixation, the fastener 30 abuts against the second side of the battery cells 20 located at both ends of the battery cell assembly 400 along the second direction, thereby effectively securing multiple battery cells 20.

[0138] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, an insulating layer (not shown) is provided between the fixing member 30 and the first or second side of the battery cell 20.

[0139] In the above embodiments, an insulating layer is provided between the fixing member 30 and the first or second side of the battery cell 20, which can keep the fixing member 30 and the battery cell 20 electrically isolated, thereby improving the safety of the battery device 100 to a certain extent.

[0140] Specifically, in one embodiment, the fastener 30 is made of metal. The battery cell 20 includes a metal casing. The metal casing includes a first side and a second side.

[0141] When the fixing member 30 abuts against the first side of the battery cell 20, the insulating layer is disposed between the fixing member 30 and the first side of the battery cell 20; when the fixing member 30 abuts against the second side of the battery cell 20, the insulating layer is disposed between the fixing member 30 and the second side of the battery cell 20, effectively maintaining electrical isolation between the fixing member 30 and the outer casing, preventing short circuit between the fixing member 30 and the battery cell 20, and improving the safety of the battery device 100 to a certain extent.

[0142] Alternatively, the insulating layer can be adhered to the first or second side of the fastener 30 and the battery cell 20 using adhesive.

[0143] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, referring to Figures 7 and 8, multiple battery cells 20 are arranged along a set direction, and end plates 22 are disposed at both ends of the multiple battery cells 20 in the set direction. The end plates 22 and the multiple battery cells 20 form a battery module, and at least one end plate 22 is configured as a fixing member 30.

[0144] In the above embodiments, at least one end plate 22 is configured as a fixing member 30, and the battery management component 40 can be disposed on the side of the end plate 22 away from the battery cell 20, so that the battery management component 40 can be electrically connected to the battery cell 20 fixed by the end plate 22, thereby facilitating the management of the parameter information of the battery cell 20.

[0145] Optionally, referring to Figures 7 and 8, in one embodiment, the battery cell assembly 400 can be a battery module, which is formed by arranging and fixing multiple battery cells 20 along a predetermined direction to form an independent module. The battery module can be formed by fixing multiple battery cells 20 with a restraining member 21 and an end plate 22. The material of the restraining member 21 includes, but is not limited to, metal. The material of the end plate 22 includes, but is not limited to, metal. The restraining member 21 and the end plate 22 surround the multiple battery cells 20 along the circumferential direction of the battery cells 20, thereby enabling more effective fixing of the battery cells 20. Optionally, in Figures 7 and 8, the battery cell assembly 400 includes a cover plate 23, which covers one end of the battery cell 20 along a third direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction. For example, when the battery device 100 is installed on a vehicle, the first direction can be the vehicle's front-to-back direction, the second direction can be the vehicle's left-to-right direction, and the third direction can be the vehicle's up-and-down direction, or the first direction can be the vehicle's left-to-right direction, the second direction can be the vehicle's front-to-back direction, and the third direction can be the vehicle's up-and-down direction. Optionally, in the embodiments shown in Figures 7 and 8, the restraint member 21 is plate-shaped. Optionally, in one embodiment, the restraint member 21 may be a cable tie.

[0146] The first connector 31 can be provided on the side of the end plate 22 away from the battery cell 20, so that the battery management component 40 can be connected to the end plate 22 by the elastic buckle 60 being snapped into the buckle hole 50.

[0147] Optionally, two end plates 22 can fix the battery cell 20 from both ends of the battery cell assembly 400 along a predetermined direction. The battery management component 40 can be disposed on one of the end plates 22 or on both end plates 22. The battery management component 40 located on the end plate 22 can be electrically connected to the battery cell 20 fixed by the end plate 22, thereby facilitating the management of the parameter information of the battery cell 20.

[0148] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, a plurality of battery cells 20 are arranged along a set direction, the housing 10 includes a frame and a connecting beam, the connecting beam is connected to the inner wall surface of the frame, the connecting beam is disposed at both ends of the plurality of battery cells 20 in the set direction, and at least one connecting beam is configured as a fixing member 30.

[0149] In the above embodiments, at least one connecting beam is set as a fastener 30, so that the battery management component 40 can be installed and fixed using the connecting beam, which can reduce the use of structural components, simplify the structure of the battery device 100 to a certain extent, and reduce the cost of the battery device 100.

[0150] Specifically, the enclosure 10 also includes a bottom protective plate and a top cover, which are respectively located at both ends of the frame along a third direction, thus forming a receiving cavity 13 together with the frame. A connecting beam connects to the inner wall of the frame, thereby effectively supporting the frame and preventing deformation or cracking to a certain extent. Optionally, the connecting beam is connected to the bottom protective plate.

[0151] Connecting beams are disposed at both ends of multiple battery cells 20 in a set direction. Optionally, the connecting beams may be disposed at both ends of the battery cell assembly 400 in a set direction and abut against the first side or the second side of the battery cell 20.

[0152] The first connector 31 can be provided on the side of the connecting beam facing the inner wall of the frame, so that the battery management component 40 can be connected to the connecting beam by the elastic buckle 60 in the buckle hole 50, and the battery management component 40 is located in the receiving cavity 13.

[0153] Optionally, the battery management component 40 can be electrically connected to the battery cell assembly 400 located near the battery management component 40, thereby reducing the length of the electrical connection and lowering costs.

[0154] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the connecting beam includes at least one of a crossbeam, a longitudinal beam, and an expansion beam.

[0155] In the above embodiments, the battery management component 40 can be disposed on at least one of the crossbeam, longitudinal beam and expansion beam, thereby allowing for flexible configuration of the installation position of the battery management component 40.

[0156] Specifically, the crossbeams and longitudinal beams divide the receiving cavity 13 into multiple spaces, each space capable of accommodating one or more battery cell modules 400. The crossbeams and longitudinal beams are perpendicular to each other, which helps improve the deformation resistance of the housing 10. The crossbeams and longitudinal beams can be connected to the inner wall of the frame through methods including but not limited to welding and screw connections. In one embodiment, when the battery device 100 is installed on a vehicle, the crossbeams can extend along the left-right direction of the vehicle, and the longitudinal beams can extend along the front-rear direction of the vehicle, thereby enhancing the deformation resistance of the battery device 100 under longitudinal and lateral impact forces of the vehicle to a certain extent.

[0157] An expansion beam is a beam-like structure spanning two opposing inner wall surfaces of a frame. The extension direction of the expansion beam can be the same as or different from that of the crossbeams or longitudinal beams. The expansion beam can be made of sheet metal or extruded profiles. The expansion beam can be located on one side of the battery cell 20 perpendicular to its first side surface and is configured to bend and deform as the battery cell 20 expands within the receiving cavity 13. Taking a prismatic battery cell 20 as an example, when the battery cell 20 expands, its first side surface, due to its larger area, allows for greater deformation. The cumulative deformation of multiple battery cells 20 causes the housing 10 containing the battery cells 20 to expand and deform outwards. The expansion beam, as a relatively weak structural component forming the receiving cavity 13, directly bends and deforms under the influence of the battery cell 20, thereby releasing the expansion amount of the battery cell 20.

[0158] The box body 10 may include any one, any two, or any three of the following: crossbeams, longitudinal beams, and expansion beams.

[0159] The battery management component 40 can be flexibly positioned according to the internal space of the housing 10. Optionally, in one embodiment, the battery device 100 includes a plurality of battery cell assemblies 400 and a plurality of battery management components 40. The housing 10 includes an expansion beam, which, together with the inner wall of the frame and the bottom protective plate, defines a receiving cavity 13 for accommodating battery cells 20. This receiving cavity 13 can accommodate one or more battery cell assemblies 400. Each battery management component 40 is electrically connected to a corresponding battery cell assembly 400 to manage the parameter information of the battery cells 20 in the battery cell assembly 400. The battery management component 40 can be snapped into the buckle hole 50 by an elastic clip 60 and disposed on the side of the expansion beam opposite to the battery body, and is electrically connected to the battery cell assembly 400 adjacent to the battery management component 40.

[0160] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, referring to Figures 2, 7 and 8, the battery management component 40 is used to manage parameter information of the battery cell 20.

[0161] In the above embodiments, the battery management component 40 can manage the parameter information of the battery cell 20, thereby controlling the operation of the battery cell 20 according to the parameter information of the battery cell 20.

[0162] Optionally, the battery management component 40 can be a battery monitoring unit, also known as a slave controller. Specifically, the parameter information of the battery cell 20 includes, but is not limited to, the voltage, temperature, current, and power of the battery cell 20. The battery management component 40 is electrically connected to the battery cell 20 and acquires the parameter information of the battery cell 20. Optionally, in one embodiment, when the battery cell 20 is under-voltage or over-voltage, the battery management component 40 can control other battery cells 20 to charge the under-voltage battery cell 20, or control the under-voltage battery cell 20 to stop discharging, control the over-voltage battery cell 20 to discharge to other battery cells 20, or control the over-voltage battery cell 20 to stop charging, etc.

[0163] Optionally, in one embodiment, when the temperature of a battery cell 20 is too high, the battery management component 40 can control the battery cell 20 with the excessively high temperature to stop charging and discharging. Optionally, in one embodiment, when a battery cell 20 experiences overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, or overtemperature, the battery management component 40 can also issue an alarm signal.

[0164] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the battery device 100 includes a sampling component, which is electrically connected to the battery cell 20 and the battery management component 40, and the battery management component 40 is used to manage the parameter information of the battery cell 20 through the sampling component.

[0165] In the above embodiments, the battery management component 40 is used to manage the parameter information of the battery cell 20 through the sampling component, so that the battery management component 40 can accurately manage the parameter information of each battery cell 20.

[0166] Optionally, the sampling component can be a CCS (Cell Contacting System) component. The sampling component is used to collect parameter information from the battery cell 20. Optionally, in one embodiment, the sampling component can be composed of a signal acquisition component, insulating structural components, conductive components, etc., connected into a whole through processes such as hot pressing or riveting. The sampling component can realize functions such as high-voltage series and parallel connection of the battery cells 20, and sampling of parameter information from the battery cells 20.

[0167] The signal acquisition components may include FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit Board), PCB (Printed Circuit Board), FFC (Flexible Flat Cable), etc. These components are used to acquire parameter information such as temperature, voltage, current, and power of the battery cells 20 and transmit this parameter information to the battery management component 40 for processing. Insulating structural components are used to support and fix the signal acquisition components and other components, ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire system. Conductive components can serve as the conductive parts of the sampling components, enabling high-voltage series and parallel connections between the battery cells 20. As an example, the conductive component can be a copper-aluminum busbar.

[0168] The sampling component includes a temperature sensor (such as an NTC thermistor), which can be placed on the surface of the battery cell 20 or the conductive component to monitor the temperature of the battery cell 20 and the conductive component in real time, and convert the temperature data into an electrical signal and transmit it to the battery management component 40.

[0169] The battery management component 40 is electrically connected to the sampling component. The sampling component can collect the parameter information of each battery cell 20 more accurately, so that the battery management component 40 can accurately judge the state of the battery cell 20 based on the more accurate parameter information of the battery cell 20, thereby reducing or avoiding misjudgment to a certain extent.

[0170] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the battery device 100 includes a battery management unit, at least one battery management component 40, and at least one battery cell assembly 400. Each battery cell assembly 400 includes a plurality of battery cells 20. Each battery management component 40 is electrically connected to a battery cell assembly 400 through a corresponding sampling component. The battery management unit is electrically connected to all battery management components 40. The battery management unit is used to manage the parameter information of the battery cells 20 through the battery management components 40, and to control the state of the battery cells 20 through the battery management components 40 according to the parameter information of the battery cells 20.

[0171] In the above embodiments, the battery management unit can manage all battery cell components 400 in a unified manner through multiple battery management components 40, which is beneficial to improving the battery management efficiency of the battery device 100.

[0172] Specifically, the Battery Management Unit (BMU) is a control unit responsible for managing and monitoring the battery cell assembly 400. The BMU can monitor parameters such as the voltage of all battery cells 20 in the battery cell assembly 400, the total current of the battery cell assembly 400, the total voltage, and the temperature. The BMU can also perform functions such as automatically balancing the power of the battery cells 20.

[0173] The battery management unit 40 can manage information such as the voltage and temperature of all battery cells 20 in a single battery cell assembly 400, as well as the voltage and temperature of the battery cell assembly 400, through a corresponding sampling component, and upload the received data to the battery management unit for further analysis and processing.

[0174] Therefore, through the coordinated work of the battery management unit and the battery management component 40, comprehensive monitoring and management of the battery cell assembly 400 can be achieved, ensuring the safe, reliable and efficient operation of the battery cell assembly 400.

[0175] According to some embodiments of this application, the battery management component 40 may optionally be a cell management controller (CMC).

[0176] In the above embodiments, the battery cell management unit can be connected to the fixing member 30 by being snapped into the buckle hole 50 by the elastic buckle 60, thereby facilitating the battery cell management unit to manage the parameter information of the battery cell 20.

[0177] Specifically, the battery management unit and the individual battery cell management unit can communicate with each other for the transmission of commands, signals, and data. The individual battery cell management unit can manage the status parameters of the individual battery cells 20 in real time, such as voltage, temperature, current, and power. The received parameter information is then uploaded to the battery management unit for further analysis and processing.

[0178] In one embodiment, the battery device 100 includes a plurality of battery cell assemblies 400 and a plurality of battery cell management units. Each battery cell management unit is electrically connected to a battery cell assembly via a corresponding sampling component. The battery cell management unit can manage the parameter information of the battery cells 20 of the battery cell assembly 400 to which it is electrically connected. The battery management unit receives the parameter information of the battery cells 20 received by all the battery cell management units, and can control the corresponding battery cell assembly 400 according to this parameter information, thereby achieving refined battery management.

[0179] Optionally, in one embodiment, the battery cell management unit may be located on the side of the end plate 22 opposite to the battery cell 20. Optionally, in one embodiment, the battery cell management unit may be located on the side of the expansion beam opposite to the battery cell 20.

[0180] Optionally, according to some embodiments of this application, referring to Figures 3, 10 and 11, the battery management component 40 is provided with a plurality of second connectors 41, which are disposed on the same side and / or different sides of the battery management component 40, and each second connector 41 is connected to a corresponding first connector 31.

[0181] In the above embodiments, by connecting multiple second connectors 41 to corresponding multiple first connectors 31 one by one, the connection stability between the battery management component 40 and the fixing component 30 can be improved to a certain extent.

[0182] Specifically, the battery management component 40 includes a housing 42. In one embodiment, a plurality of second connectors 41 may be disposed on the same side of the housing 42 of the battery management component 40. In one embodiment, a plurality of second connectors 41 may be disposed on different sides of the housing 42 of the battery management component 40. The fixing member 30 is provided with a plurality of first connectors 31, and the plurality of first connectors 31 and the plurality of second connectors 41 are connected by elastic buckles 60 engaging with buckle holes 50 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0183] In the embodiment shown in Figure 3, the housing 42 is rectangular in shape, with its length extending along the left-right direction. The battery management component 40 is provided with two second connectors 41, located on the left and right sides of the housing 42, respectively. Corresponding to the second connectors 41, the fixing member 30 is provided with a first connector 31 at a corresponding position. Thus, the battery management component 40 can be connected to the fixing member 30 on both sides along its length to improve the connection stability between the battery management component 40 and the fixing member 30, resist more deformation in the length direction, and prevent the housing 42 of the battery management component 40 from cracking.

[0184] [Correction 17.04.2025 according to Rule 91] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, referring to Figures 3, 10 and 11, the second connector 41 is disposed on the connecting side 43 of the battery management component 40, which is different from the side of the battery management component 40 facing the fixing member 30.

[0185] In the above embodiments, the second connector 41 is disposed on the side of the battery management component 40 that is different from the side of the battery management component 40 facing the fixing member 30, which can improve the assembly efficiency of the battery management component 40 and the fixing member 30 to a certain extent.

[0186] [Correction based on Rule 91, April 17, 2025] Specifically, a plurality of second connectors 41 are disposed on the connecting side 43, which is different from the side of the battery management component 40 facing the fixing member 30. That is, the connecting side 43 does not face the fixing member 30. When the battery management component 40 is connected to the fixing member 30, the battery management component 40 can be directly assembled onto the fixing member 30 in the direction close to the fixing member 30. The second connectors 41 will not obstruct the battery management component 40 in the assembly direction, and the battery management component 40 will not obstruct the alignment of the elastic buckle 60 and the buckle hole 50, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the battery management component 40 and the fixing member 30 to a certain extent.

[0187] [Correction 17.04.2025 according to Rule 91] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, referring to Figures 3, 10 and 11, the battery management component 40 includes two connecting sides 43 located in opposite directions of the battery management component 40.

[0188] [Correction 17.04.2025 according to Rule 91] In the above embodiment, the two connecting sides 43 of the second connector 41 are located in opposite directions to the battery management component 40, so that the second connector 41 can provide relatively stable support to the battery management component 40 in the opposite direction to the battery management component 40.

[0189] [Correction based on Rule 91, April 17, 2025] Optionally, referring to Figures 7, 3, 10, and 11, the two connecting sides 43 are the left and right sides of the housing 42, and the two second connectors 41 are respectively disposed on the left and right sides of the housing 42, thereby forming a wing-like structure. The back side of the housing 42 is the side of the battery management component 40 facing the fixing member 30. Optionally, in one embodiment, one or more second connectors 41 are disposed on each connecting side 43, and the number of second connectors 41 disposed on each connecting side 43 may be the same or different.

[0190] [Correction 17.04.2025 according to Rule 91] Optionally, in one embodiment, the two connecting sides 43 may also be the upper and lower sides of the housing 42.

[0191] [Correction 17.04.2025 according to Rule 91] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, referring to Figures 10 to 14, the second connector 41 includes a second connecting portion 44 and a fastening portion 45. The second connecting portion 44 connects the fastening portion 45 and the connecting side 43. The second connecting portion 44 is adapted to deform under the expansion force of the fixing member 30 on the battery management component 40. The fastening portion 45 includes one of a buckle hole 50 and an elastic buckle 60.

[0192] In the above embodiment, the second connecting portion 44 is adapted to deform under the expansion force of the fixing member 30 on the battery management component 40, thereby absorbing more of the expansion tolerance of the fixing member 30.

[0193] Optionally, in one embodiment, the fastener 30 includes an end plate 22, which may be an extruded end plate. When the battery cell 20 expands, the end plate 22, which abuts against the battery cell 20, also deforms. The deformed end plate 22 pushes the battery management component 40 outward, and the battery management component 40 and the end plate 22 are connected by an elastic snap 60 that engages with the snap hole 50. When the battery management component 40 is pressed by the deformed end plate 22, it pulls on the second connecting portion 44. The second connecting portion 44 can deform to further absorb the expansion tolerance of the fastener 30, thus preventing the battery management component 40 and the second connecting portion 44 from cracking to a certain extent.

[0194] Optionally, in one embodiment, the second connecting part 44, the housing 42, and the fastening part 45 are integrally formed.

[0195] Optionally, in the embodiments shown in Figures 3, 10 to 14, the fastening portion 45 includes a resilient snap 60, and the first connecting member 31 includes a snap hole 50. Optionally, in one embodiment, the fastening portion 45 includes a snap hole 50, and the first connecting member 31 includes a resilient snap 60.

[0196] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, referring to FIG12, the second connecting portion 44 is in the shape of a straight strip along the thickness direction perpendicular to the fixing member 30.

[0197] In the above embodiments, the straight-strip-shaped second connecting portion 44 can save materials and reduce costs to a certain extent.

[0198] Specifically, referring to Figures 7 and 12, the thickness direction of the fastener 30 is the front-to-back direction, and the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the fastener 30 is the left-to-right direction. When the fastener 30 deforms, the deformed fastener 30 will press outward against the battery management component 40, causing the battery management component 40 to pull on the second connecting portion 44. At this time, the straight second connecting portion 44 can deform and elongate in a direction away from the fastener 30 to absorb the expansion tolerance of the fastener 30, thus preventing the battery management component 40 and the second connecting portion 44 from cracking to a certain extent.

[0199] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, referring to Figures 13 and 14, the second connection portion 44 includes an elastic structure 46, the elastic structure 46 having a deformation space 47, the elastic structure 46 being adapted to deform into the deformation space 47 under the action of the expansion force of the fixing member 30 on the battery management component 40.

[0200] In the above embodiments, the elastic structure 46 is adapted to deform into the deformation space 47 under the action of the expansion force of the fixing member 30 on the battery management component 40, thereby further improving the ability to absorb the expansion tolerance of the fixing member 30.

[0201] Specifically, when the expansion of the fastener 30 causes the battery management component 40 to expand, the battery management component 40 pulls on the second connecting part 44. Since the elastic structure 46 is provided with a deformation space 47, when the elastic structure 46 deforms, it can deform into the deformation space 47, providing more space for deformation and allowing the elastic structure 46 to undergo a larger amount of deformation, thereby further improving its ability to absorb the expansion tolerance of the fastener 30.

[0202] When the expansion force of the fixing member 30 disappears, the battery management component 40 can recover its deformation, and therefore the elastic structure 46 can also recover its deformation.

[0203] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, referring to FIG14, the elastic structure 46 includes a plurality of deformation spaces 47, which are spaced apart along the thickness direction perpendicular to the fixing member 30.

[0204] In the above embodiments, the multiple deformation spaces 47 are arranged at intervals along the thickness direction perpendicular to the fixing member 30, which is beneficial to allow the elastic structure 46 to undergo a larger amount of deformation.

[0205] Optionally, referring to Figures 7 and 12, the thickness direction of the fastener 30 is along the front-to-back direction, and the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the fastener 30 is the left-to-right direction. Multiple deformation spaces 47 are arranged at intervals along the left-to-right direction, which can provide more deformation spaces 47 to the elastic structure 46, thereby allowing the elastic structure 46 to undergo greater deformation.

[0206] The shape of the elastic structure 46 includes, but is not limited to, regular or irregular shapes such as square wave, wavy, or serrated. Optionally, in the embodiments shown in Figures 13 and 14, the elastic structure 46 has a square wave structure. In Figure 13, the elastic structure 46 has one square deformation space 47. In Figure 14, the elastic structure 46 has two square deformation spaces 47. In other embodiments, the number of deformation spaces 47 is not limited to two, but may be more than two.

[0207] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, referring to Figures 3 and 9, the first connector 31 includes a plurality of first connecting portions 32, and a second connector 41 is provided between two first connecting portions 32. The second connector 41 and the two first connecting portions 32 adjacent to the second connector 41 are connected by elastic buckles 60 being engaged in buckle holes 50.

[0208] In the above embodiment, the second connector 41 and the two first connecting parts 32 adjacent to the second connector 41 are connected by elastic buckles 60 being engaged in buckle holes 50, thereby making the connection between the second connector 41 and the first connector 31 more stable and improving the connection reliability between the battery management component 40 and the fixing component 30 to a certain extent.

[0209] Optionally, in the embodiments of Figures 3 and 9, each first connecting part 32 is provided with a snap hole 50, and the second connecting member 41 is provided with an elastic buckle 60. The two first connecting parts 32 are located on the upper and lower sides of the second connecting member 41, respectively. The elastic buckle 60 is engaged with the snap holes 50 of the two first connecting parts 32 located on the same side of the battery management component 40, so that the first connecting member 31 provides two connection points to the second connecting member 41, thereby improving the connection reliability between the battery management component 40 and the fixing member 30 to a certain extent.

[0210] Optionally, in one embodiment, each first connecting part 32 is provided with an elastic buckle 60, and the second connecting member 41 is provided with a buckle hole 50.

[0211] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, referring to FIG3, the second connector 41 and two first connector portions 32 adjacent to the second connector 41 are located on one side of the battery management component 40 along the length direction, and another second connector 41 and two first connector portions 32 adjacent to the other second connector 41 are located on the other side of the battery management component 40 along the length direction.

[0212] In the above embodiments, the connection point formed by the first connecting part 32 and the second connecting member 41 can be located on both sides of the battery management component 40 along the length direction, thereby more effectively absorbing the expansion tolerance of the fixing member 30.

[0213] Specifically, in one embodiment, the battery management component 40 includes a housing 42, which is generally rectangular in shape. The length direction of the battery management component 40 is the left-right direction. A second connector 41 is provided on each of the left and right sides of the housing 42. A first connector 31 is provided on the fixing member 30 corresponding to the position of the second connector 41. The first connector 31 includes two first connecting parts 32, and the second connector 41 is located between the two first connecting parts 32. After the first connector 31 and the second connector 41 are connected by elastic buckles 60 engaging with buckle holes 50, the battery management component 40 forms two connection points on one side (upper and lower) and two connection points on the left and right sides.

[0214] When the battery management component 40 deforms due to the expansion of the fastener 30, the housing 42 has a larger area in the length direction and can be subject to greater deformation. Therefore, the connection point between the first connector 31 and the second connector 41 is located on both sides of the battery management component 40 along the length direction, which can more effectively absorb the expansion tolerance of the fastener 30 and avoid the problem of cracking of the housing 42 of the battery management component 40 to a certain extent.

[0215] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, referring to Figures 4, 10 and 11, the elastic buckle 60 includes hooks 61, each hook 61 being engaged with a corresponding buckle hole 50.

[0216] In the above embodiments, each hook 61 is engaged with a corresponding buckle hole 50, which improves the connection reliability between the elastic buckle 60 and the buckle hole 50 to a certain extent.

[0217] Optionally, in the embodiments of Figures 4, 10, and 11, the first connecting part 32 includes a snap hole 50, and the second connecting member 41 includes an elastic buckle 60. The elastic buckle 60 includes two hooks 61 arranged at intervals. The two hooks 61 can respectively cooperate with the snap holes 50 of the two first connecting parts 32 adjacent to the second connecting member 41 to form two upper and lower connection points, which improves the connection reliability between the elastic buckle 60 and the snap hole 50 to a certain extent.

[0218] Optionally, in one embodiment, the first connecting part 32 includes an elastic buckle 60, and the second connecting member 41 includes two buckle holes 50 arranged at intervals, with each buckle 61 engaging with a corresponding buckle hole 50.

[0219] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, referring to Figures 4, 10 and 11, the elastic buckle 60 includes an elastic pressing portion 62, which is connected to the hook 61, and the elastic pressing portion 62 abuts against the edge of the buckle hole 50 facing another buckle hole 50.

[0220] In the above embodiment, the elastic pressing part 62 abuts against the edge of the buckle hole 50 facing the other buckle hole 50. By operating the elastic pressing part 62, the hook 61 can be removed relative to the buckle hole 50, thereby realizing the disassembly of the battery management component 40.

[0221] The following description uses an embodiment where the first connector 31 includes a snap hole 50 and the second connector 41 includes an elastic snap 60 as an example. Referring to Figures 3 and 9, in one embodiment, two first connectors 32 located on one side of the battery management component 40 are arranged vertically. In the upper first connector 32, the snap hook 61 extends into the snap hole 50 and abuts against the wall of the snap hole 50, while the elastic pressing part 62 abuts against the edge of the upper snap hole 50 facing the lower snap hole 50. In the lower first connector 32, the snap hook 61 extends into the snap hole 50 and abuts against the wall of the snap hole 50, while the elastic pressing part 62 abuts against the edge of the lower snap hole 50 facing the upper snap hole 50. Thus, the upper and lower elastic pressing parts 62 can limit the vertical displacement of the battery management component 40.

[0222] When disassembling the battery management component 40, the operator or equipment can use tools or fingers to apply a force away from the edge of the snap hole 50 to the elastic pressing part 62, causing the elastic pressing part 62 to disengage from the edge of the snap hole 50 until the hook 61 is outside the snap hole 50. Then, apply a force away from the fixing member 30 to the elastic pressing part 62 to separate the second connecting member 41 from the first connecting member 31, thereby removing the battery management component 40 from the fixing member 30.

[0223] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, referring to Figures 4, 10 and 11, the elastic compression portion 62 has at least one bending segment 63 for providing elasticity.

[0224] In the above embodiment, the bent section 63 is used to provide elasticity, which is beneficial to operating the elastic compression section 62.

[0225] Optionally, referring to Figure 4, when the operator or equipment disassembles the battery management component 40, the operator can use tools or hands to apply downward pressure to the upward bending section 63 and upward pressure to the downward bending section 63 to deform the bending section 63. This will cause the upper hook 61 and the lower hook 61 to disengage from the upper buckle hole 50 and the lower buckle hole 50, respectively, thereby removing the elastic buckle 60 relative to the buckle hole 50 and separating the battery management component 40 from the fastener 30.

[0226] When the force acting on the bent section 63 disappears, the bent section 63 can recover its deformation, so that when the battery management component 40 is installed on the fastener 30 again, the hook 61 can be re-engaged in the buckle hole 50 to achieve the connection between the battery management component 40 and the fastener 30.

[0227] Optionally, in the embodiment of FIG4, the upper elastic compression portion 62 has one bent section 63, and the lower elastic compression portion 62 has two bent sections 63. In one embodiment, the elastic compression portion 62 may have two or more bent sections 63.

[0228] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, referring to Figures 4, 10 and 11, the second connector 41 includes an elastic abutment portion 64 that connects to the elastic compression portion 62, and the elastic abutment portion 64 abuts against the fixing member 30.

[0229] In the above embodiment, the elastic abutment portion 64 abuts against the fixing member 30, so that the second connecting member 41 can be pre-positioned on the fixing member 30 through the elastic abutment portion 64, thereby facilitating the hook 61 to be engaged in the buckle hole 50.

[0230] Specifically, referring to Figures 4, 10, and 11, in one embodiment, the elastic abutment portion 64 connects two elastic compression portions 62. During the installation of the battery management component 40 onto the fixing member 30, depending on the position of the first connecting member 31, the operator or equipment can abut the elastic abutment portion 64 against the fixing member 30, pre-positioning the second connecting member 41 on the fixing member 30. Then, by squeezing the hook 61, the hook 61 can be inserted into the buckle hole 50 along its edge, thus securing the elastic buckle 60 in the buckle hole 50. Since the elastic abutment portion 64 pre-positions the second connecting member 41 on the fixing member 30 through abutment, when the operator or equipment squeezes the hook 61, the elastic abutment portion 64 has a force point on the fixing member 30, making it easier for the operator or equipment to apply force, thereby facilitating the engagement of the hook 61 in the buckle hole 50.

[0231] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, referring to Figures 4 and 9, the fastener 30 has an abutment hole 65 on the side facing the battery management component 40, and the elastic abutment portion 64 is embedded in the abutment hole 65.

[0232] In the above embodiments, the elastic abutment portion 64 is embedded in the abutment hole 65, so that the elastic abutment portion 64 can be quickly positioned at a predetermined position on the fixing member 30, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the battery management component 40 and the fixing member 30 to a certain extent.

[0233] Specifically, during the installation of the battery management components 40 onto the fixing member 30, the elastic abutment part 64 can move towards the fixing member 30 in the direction of the abutment hole 65 until the elastic abutment part 64 is embedded in the abutment hole 65, so that the elastic abutment part 64 can be quickly pre-positioned on the fixing member 30. Then, by pressing the hook 61, the hook 61 can be inserted into the buckle hole 50 along the edge of the buckle hole 50, so that the elastic buckle 60 is locked in the buckle hole 50.

[0234] The shape of the abutment hole 65 includes, but is not limited to, regular or irregular shapes such as circles, squares, and triangles. The shape of the elastic abutment part 64 is adapted to the shape of the abutment hole 65. The number of abutment holes 65 is one, two, or more, and the number of abutment holes 65 can be the same as the number of elastic abutment parts 64.

[0235] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, referring to Figures 9 and 11, the fixing member 30 is provided with a first positioning part 33, and the battery management component 40 is provided with a second positioning part 48. The first positioning part 33 and the second positioning part 48 are connected to position the fixing member 30 and the battery management component 40.

[0236] In the above embodiments, the positional relationship between the battery management component 40 and the fixing member 30 can be quickly located through the first positioning part 33 and the second positioning part 48.

[0237] Specifically, in one embodiment, the battery management component 40 includes a housing 42. A second positioning portion 48 is provided on the side of the housing 42 facing the fixing member 30, and a first positioning portion 33 is provided on the side of the fixing member 30 facing the housing 42. During the assembly process of the battery management component 40 and the fixing member 30, the first positioning portion 33 and the second positioning portion 48 can be used to position the relative positions of the battery management component 40 and the fixing member 30. The connection between the battery management component 40 and the fixing member 30 is achieved by using an elastic buckle 60 to engage with the buckle hole 50, allowing the battery management component 40 to be installed in the desired position on the fixing member 30.

[0238] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, referring to Figures 5, 6, 9 and 11, one of the first positioning part 33 and the second positioning part 48 includes a positioning hole 70, and the other includes a positioning post 80. The positioning post 80 is embedded in the positioning hole 70 to position the fixing member 30 and the battery management component 40.

[0239] In the above embodiments, positioning is achieved through positioning pins 80 and positioning holes 70, resulting in a simple structure.

[0240] Optionally, in the embodiments of Figures 5, 6, 9, and 11, the first positioning part 33 includes a positioning hole 70, and the second positioning part 48 includes a positioning post 80. Alternatively, in one embodiment, the first positioning part 33 may include the positioning post 80, and the second positioning part 48 may include the positioning hole 70.

[0241] The shape of the positioning hole 70 includes, but is not limited to, regular or irregular shapes such as square, circle, and triangle. The shape of the positioning post 80 is adapted to the shape of the positioning hole 70.

[0242] The number of positioning holes 70 can be one, two, or more, and the number of positioning posts 80 is the same as the number of positioning holes 70. In Figure 9, the fixing member 30 has three positioning holes 70 on its side facing the battery management component 40, and the three positioning holes 70 are distributed in a triangle. In Figure 11, the housing 42 has three positioning posts 80 on its side facing the fixing member 30, and each positioning post 80 is embedded in a corresponding positioning hole 70.

[0243] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, referring to FIG11, the battery management component 40 includes a housing 42, a second connector 41 and a second positioning part 48 disposed on the housing 42, and the housing 42, the second connector 41 and the second positioning part 48 are integrally formed structures.

[0244] In the above embodiments, the housing 42, the second connector 41, and the second positioning part 48 are integrally formed structures, which can effectively improve the connection strength between structural components and avoid cracking caused by the expansion of the fixing part 30.

[0245] Alternatively, in one embodiment, the housing 42, the second connector 41, and the second positioning part 48 can be manufactured using plastic through an integral injection molding process.
