Abstract

Embodiments of the present application provide a battery, a power consumption apparatus, and a method and apparatus for producing a battery. The battery includes: a battery cell, provided with a pressure relief mechanism, the pressure relief mechanism being configured to be actuated when an internal pressure or temperature of the battery cell reaches a threshold, to relieve the internal pressure; a bus component, configured to be electrically connected to the battery cell; an electrical cavity, configured to accommodate the battery cell and the bus component; a collecting cavity, configured to collect emissions from the battery cell when the pressure relief mechanism is actuated; and a sealing structure, disposed in an airflow path formed between the pressure relief mechanism and a wall of the electrical cavity and configured to prevent the emissions from reaching the bus component when the pressure relief mechanism is actuated.

Claims (33)
