Abstract

This application relates to the technical field of energy storage devices, and in particular, to a box body, a battery pack, and a device. The box body includes a first beam and a second beam. The first beam and the second beam intersect each other, and are connected by a connecting portion, and partition the box body into a plurality of accommodation spaces. The first beam includes a body and a recess. The recess is recessed inward relative to the body. The connecting portion is disposed in the recess. In this way, a joint position between the first beam and the second beam will not protrude from a lateral surface of the first beam, thereby preventing a short circuit of a battery cell caused by puncture of or damage to an insulation film outside the battery cell, and improving safety performance of the battery.

Claims (17)

1. A box body applied to a battery pack, comprising:

a first beam and a second beam,

wherein

the first beam and the second beam intersect each other, and are connected by a connecting portion, and partition the box body into a plurality of accommodation spaces; and

the first beam comprises a body and a recess, the recess is recessed inward relative to the body, and the connecting portion is disposed in the recess;

wherein a first slot is disposed in the recess, a second slot is disposed on the second beam, and the first beam and the second beam are plug-connected through the first slot and the second slot,

wherein first mounting plates are disposed on two sides of the second slot, and the first mounting plates are connected to the recess.

2. The box body according to claim 1 , wherein the recess comprises recess faces, the recess faces are located on two sides of the recess, and the connecting portion is disposed on each recess face.

3. The box body according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting portion is disposed at an edge of each first mounting plate.

4. The box body according to claim 1 , wherein a second mounting plate is disposed at a bottom of the second beam, and a bottom plate is further disposed at a bottom of the box body, and the second mounting plate is connected to the bottom plate.

5. The box body according to claim 4 , wherein a notch is disposed on the second mounting plate, and the notch is configured to avoid the recess.

6. The box body according to claim 5 , wherein a width of the notch is greater than a width of the recess.

7. The box body according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting portion is a weld.

8. A battery pack, comprising:

the box body according to claim 1 ; and

a battery cell accommodated in an accommodation space of the box body.

9. A device, comprising the battery pack according to claim 8 , wherein the battery pack is configured to provide electrical energy.
