Abstract

A battery cover plate is provided, to resolve problems such as a signal transmission structure and sealing performance of the battery cover plate. The battery cover plate includes a plate body, a battery management unit, and a sensor assembly, wherein the plate body has an outer surface and an inner surface facing away from the outer surface. The battery management unit is disposed in the plate body, wherein a transmission structure is provided between the battery management unit and the outer surface, and the battery management unit includes a wireless communication module. The wireless communication module may perform wireless communication with the outside by using the transmission structure. The sensor assembly is connected to the battery management unit, wherein the sensor assembly is disposed in the plate body and extends out of the inner surface.

Claims (44)
