Abstract

This application provides an output electrode base, a battery module, and an electric vehicle, and relates to the technical field of batteries. The output electrode base provided in this application includes: a base body and a connecting member. A cavity is made in the base body. At least a part of the connecting member is located inside the cavity and fixed to the base body. A plurality of first stop blocks are disposed around an outer peripheral wall of the connecting member, and the plurality of first stop blocks are configured to limit movement of the connecting member. The battery module provided in this application includes: a battery cell; an output electrode base provided in this application; and an output electrode connecting plate, fixed to the output electrode base.

Claims (43)

1. An output electrode base, comprising:

a base body, the base body being provided with a cavity; and

a connecting member, wherein at least a part of the connecting member is located inside the cavity and fixed to the base body,

wherein:

a plurality of first stop blocks are disposed around an outer peripheral wall of the connecting member, and the plurality of first stop blocks are configured to limit movement of the connecting member;

a second stop block is disposed on the outer peripheral wall of the connecting member, and the second stop block is annular;

along a height direction, the second stop block is located in the middle of the connecting member;

a position limiting portion is formed on an inner wall of the cavity, and the position limiting portion fits with the second stop block; and

each of the plurality of first stop blocks comprises a first groove, the second stop block comprises a second groove, and a depth of the first groove is different from a depth of the second groove.

2. The output electrode base according to claim 1 , wherein:

a bulge portion is disposed on an inner peripheral wall of the cavity; and

the first groove fits with the bulge portion.

3. The output electrode base according to claim 2 , wherein:

each of the plurality of first stop blocks extends along a height direction; or

each of the plurality of first stop blocks tilts against a height direction.

4. The output electrode base according to claim 1 , wherein:

the connecting member further comprises a flange, and the flange is located outside the cavity; and

the flange comprises an upper surface, and a third stop block is disposed on the upper surface.

5. The output electrode base according to claim 1 , wherein:

each of the plurality of first stop blocks further comprises a bulge, and the bulge comprises a first bulge and a second bulge; and

along the height direction, the first bulge and the second bulge are located at two ends of the second stop block respectively.

6. The output electrode base according to claim 5 , wherein:

a tilt direction of the first bulge is different from a tilt direction of the second bulge.

7. The output electrode base according to claim 6 , wherein:

a tilt angle θ of the first bulge satisfies: 30°<θ<45°; and/or

a tilt angle θ of the second bulge satisfies: 30°<θ<45°.

8. A battery module, comprising:

a battery cell;

the output electrode base according to claim 1 ; and

an output electrode connecting plate, fixed to the output electrode base.

9. An electric vehicle, comprising the battery module according to claim 8 .

10. An output electrode base, comprising:

a base body, the base body being provided with a cavity; and

a connecting member, wherein at least a part of the connecting member is located inside the cavity and fixed to the base body,

wherein:

a plurality of first stop blocks are disposed around an outer peripheral wall of the connecting member, and the plurality of first stop blocks are configured to limit movement of the connecting member;

a second stop block is disposed on the outer peripheral wall of the connecting member, and the second stop block is annular;

along a height direction, the second stop block is located in the middle of the connecting member;

a position limiting portion is formed on an inner wall of the cavity, and the position limiting portion fits with the second stop block;

each of the plurality of first stop blocks comprises a bulge, and the bulge comprises a first bulge and a second bulge;

along the height direction, the first bulge and the second bulge are located at two ends of the second stop block respectively;

a tilt direction of the first bulge is different from a tilt direction of the second bulge; and

a tilt angle θ of the first bulge satisfies: 30°<θ<45°, and/or a tilt angle θ of the second bulge satisfies: 30°<θ<45°.
