Abstract

A battery case, a battery, and an electronic device include a case body, a first cover body, a first insulating part, and a second cover body, where the case body includes a bottom wall and a side wall connected to the bottom wall; the first cover body includes a first surface and a second surface disposed opposite to each other; the second cover body includes a third surface and a fourth surface disposed opposite to each other; the first surface of the first cover body is connected to one end of the side wall away from the bottom wall, and the second surface of the first cover body is connected to the third surface of the second cover body by the first insulating part.

Claims (22)

1 . A battery case characterized by comprising a case body, a first cover body, a first insulating part, and a second cover body, wherein

the case body comprises a bottom wall and a side wall connected to the bottom wall; the first cover body comprises a first surface and a second surface disposed opposite to each other; the second cover body comprises a third surface and a fourth surface disposed opposite to each other; the first surface of the first cover body is connected to one end of the side wall away from the bottom wall, and the second surface of the first cover body is connected to the third surface of the second cover body by the first insulating part; the first cover body is provided with a first through hole, and the first insulating part is provided with a second through hole corresponding to the first through hole;

an inner edge of the first insulating part is covered with an annular adhesive dispense layer;

an annular groove or a convex rib is annularly disposed on an end surface of one side of the second cover body facing the first cover body, and the annular groove or the convex rib is located between an area where a tab of a battery cell and the second cover body are electrically connected and the adhesive dispense layer.

2 . The battery case according to claim 1 , wherein the battery case is configured to wrap an outside of the battery cell, the first cover body is a metal ring, the first insulating part is an insulating ring, and the second cover body is a metal sheet; the side wall is an annular side wall, a bottom end of the side wall is connected to the bottom wall, and a top end of the side wall has an opening;
