Abstract

This application discloses a battery module, a battery pack, and a device, and relates to the field of battery technologies, to optimize a structure of the battery module. The battery module includes a battery, a wire harness board, a circuit board, and a temperature sensing assembly. The battery includes a top cover. The wire harness board is disposed on an outer side of the top of the top cover, and the wire harness board includes a body and a mounting portion disposed at the body. The circuit board is connected to the wire harness board. The temperature sensing assembly is mounted at the mounting portion, and pressed by the circuit board closely against the top cover. The battery module not only effectively implements temperature sensing at the top cover, but also prevents the temperature sensing assembly from being damaged due to excessive force applied by the circuit board.

Claims (17)

1. A battery module, comprising:

a battery, comprising a top cover;

a wire harness board, disposed on an outer side of the top of the top cover, wherein the wire harness board comprises a body and a mounting portion disposed at the body;

a circuit board, connected to the wire harness board; and

a temperature sensing assembly, mounted at the mounting portion and pressed by the circuit board closely against the top cover,

wherein the temperature sensing assembly comprises:

a thermistor, electrically connected to the circuit board, and

a thermal pad, wherein the thermistor is sandwiched between the mounting portion and the thermal pad, and the thermal pad abuts against the top cover; and

wherein the mounting portion comprises:

an elastic part, wherein the elastic part is connected to the body, a gap is present between part of an edge of the elastic part and the body, and the thermistor abuts against the elastic part, and

a coaming, disposed around the elastic part and forming a cavity with the elastic part, wherein the thermistor is located within the cavity and abuts against the elastic part, and the thermal pad is sandwiched between the thermistor and the top cover.

2. The battery module according to claim 1 , wherein an observation hole is provided in the circuit board, and the observation hole is located above the cavity.

3. The battery module according to claim 1 , wherein the wire harness board further comprises a connection portion connected to the body, a mounting hole is correspondingly provided in the circuit board, and the connection portion snaps into the mounting hole.

4. The battery module according to claim 3 , wherein a gap is present between part of an edge of the connection portion and the body.

5. The battery module according to claim 1 , wherein a first positioning portion is provided at an edge of the circuit board, a second positioning portion is provided at the wire harness board, a gap is present between the second positioning portion and a surface of the wire harness board abutting on the circuit board, and at least part of the first positioning portion is accommodated in the gap.

6. A battery pack, comprising the battery module according to claim 1 .

7. A device, comprising the battery pack according to claim 6 , wherein the battery pack is configured to provide electrical energy.
