Abstract

The present application provides a battery module, which includes a plurality of batteries, an electrical connecting piece, a circuit board and a sampling connecting member. The plurality of batteries are arranged in a longitudinal direction; the electrical connecting piece is electrically connected to the corresponding battery; the circuit board is located above the corresponding battery in a height direction; the sampling connecting member is connected to the electrical connecting piece and the circuit board; the sampling connecting member includes a fixing portion and a contact portion, the fixing portion being fixed on the circuit board, the contact portion being connected to the fixing portion, and the contact portion pressing against the electrical connecting piece and keeping in contact with the electrical connecting piece.

Claims (14)

1. A battery module, comprising a plurality of batteries, an electrical connecting piece, a circuit board and a sampling connecting member;

the plurality of batteries being arranged in a longitudinal direction;

the electrical connecting piece being electrically connected to the corresponding battery;

the circuit board being located above the corresponding battery in a height direction; the sampling connecting member being connected to the electrical connecting piece and the circuit board; and the sampling connecting member comprises a fixing portion and a contact portion, the fixing portion being fixed on the circuit board, the contact portion being connected to the fixing portion, and the contact portion pressing against the electrical connecting piece and keeping in contact with the electrical connecting piece.

2. The battery module according to claim 1 , wherein the contact portion presses against an upper surface of the electrical connecting piece in the height direction.

3. The battery module according to claim 1 , wherein the sampling connecting member further includes a buffer portion, the buffer portion is connected between the fixing portion and the contact portion, and the buffer portion bends and extends from the fixing portion toward the electrical connecting piece.

4. The battery module according to claim 3 , wherein the buffer portion obliquely bends down and extends from the fixing portion toward the electrical connecting piece.

5. The battery module according to claim 3 , wherein at least a portion of the buffer portion bends into an arc shape that protrudes outward in a direction away from the circuit board.

6. The battery module according to claim 1 , wherein a lower surface of the contact portion in the height direction forms a first protrusion protruding downward, and the first protrusion is in contact with the electrical connecting piece.

7. The battery module according to claim 3 , wherein the fixing portion comprises a fixing segment and a connecting segment, the connecting segment is located between the buffer portion and the fixing segment, and a thickness of the fixing segment in a circumferential direction is greater than a thickness of the connecting segment in the circumferential direction.

8. The battery module according to claim 7 , wherein the fixing segment extends from the connecting segment and folds back in the height direction.

9. The battery module according to claim 7 , wherein the fixing segment forms a second protrusion protruding downward.

10. The battery module according to claim 9 , wherein,

the circuit board is configured with a through hole penetrating in the height direction; the second protrusion of the fixing portion is inserted and fixed in the through hole of the circuit board.
