Claims (9)

1. A power battery, comprising an outer case, an electrode and a battery body which comprises electrode plates and an inner case; wherein: the power battery is a unit battery; the power battery is provided with only one inner case and only one outer case; an external heat abstractor is disposed on external surface of the outer case and an internal heat abstractor is disposed on internal surface of the inner case; a cylindrical holding cavity with an annular cross section is formed between the outer case and the inner case, and the electrode plates are provided in the holding cavity and are arranged in layers along a radial direction of the holding cavity; each layer of the electrode plates surrounds the inner case and the electrode is disposed in an inner cavity of the inner case, which is provided with an airway going through the inner cavity;

the airway has a honeycomb-like cross section and is composed of multiple small cylindrical honeycomb holes which are not interconnected;

the electrode comprises a first electrode member and a second electrode member which are located at upper end and lower end of the inner cavity respectively; the first electrode member comprises more than one electrode poles and a connecting pipe located in center of the inner cavity; each of the electrode poles is directly connected and contacts with the internal surface of the inner case at one end, and is directly connected and contacts with the connecting pipe at the other end; the electrode poles are distributed evenly along a circumference on the internal surface of the inner case; the second electrode member has the same structure as the first electrode member; and the first electrode member and the second electrode member are insulated from each other;

the outer heat abstractor made up of multiple square external radiator fins, which extend outwards in the directions of diameters of the outer case; the multiple square external radiator fins are fixed on the external surface of the outer case and spaced at a specific distance; outmost contours of the multiple square external radiator fins are all located on surfaces of a cuboid or a cube; and the whole battery is cuboid or cube in shape.

2. The power battery according to claim 1 , wherein: wall thickness of the outer case is greater than that of the inner case.

3. The power battery according to claim 2 , wherein: the outer case and the inner case are nested together to form a tubular structure; the holding cavity has a cylindrical structure with an annular cross section; the electrode plates of the battery body are rolled to form overlapped and sliced cylinders; the internal heat abstractor is made up of multiple internal radiator fins which extend inwards in directions of diameters of the inner case; and the multiple internal radiator fins are fixed on internal surface of the inner case and spaced at a specific distance.

4. The power battery according to claim 1 , wherein: one or more sensors are disposed inside the inner cavity.

5. The power battery according to claim 1 , wherein: wall thickness of the outer case is ranged from 0.5 mm to 500 mm; and wall thickness of the inner case is ranged from 0.2 mm to 15 mm.

6. The power battery according to claim 1 , wherein a wall thickness of each small honeycomb hole is ranged from 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm.
