Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a battery pack and an apparatus using the battery pack as a power supply, and relates to the technical field of batteries, to optimize performance of the battery pack. The battery pack includes a box body, a battery module, a module electrical connection piece, and a first protecting assembly. The battery module is mounted in the box body, and the battery module includes an anti-explosion assembly. The module electrical connection piece is mounted on the battery module. The first protecting assembly is mounted in the box body and is configured to protect the module electrical connection piece when an ejecta discharged from the anti-explosion assembly impacts the module electrical connection piece. The above technical scheme reduces probability of secondary short circuit of the battery pack.

Claims (18)

1. A battery pack, comprising:

a box body;

a battery module mounted in the box body, the battery module comprising more than one battery cell, each battery cell comprising an anti-explosion assembly;

a module electrical connection piece mounted on the battery module;

a first protecting assembly mounted in the box body and configured to protect the module electrical connection piece when an ejecta discharged from the anti-explosion assembly impacts the module electrical connection piece; and

a second protecting assembly mounted in the box body and facing toward the anti-explosion assembly, the second protecting assembly being configured to protect the box body from an impact by the ejecta discharged from the anti-explosion assembly.

2. The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein the first protecting assembly comprises protection sheet wrapped around the module electrical connection piece.

3. The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein the first protecting assembly comprises a shell, and the module electrical connection piece is positioned in the shell.

4. The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein the first protecting assembly comprises:

a first insulating member mounted on a side wall and/or a bottom wall of the box body corresponding to the module electrical connection piece, the first insulating member being configured to isolate the box body from the module electrical connection piece.

5. The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein the second protecting assembly bends toward the anti-explosion assembly along edges of two sides in a direction of a connecting line between the anti-explosion assembly and the module electrical connection piece, to enclose the anti-explosion assembly in a space formed by the second protecting assembly and the battery module.

6. The battery pack according to claim 5 , further comprising:

a beam provided with a notch, wherein the module electrical connection piece penetrates through the notch and is configured to electrically connect an external electric appliance,

wherein the first protecting assembly further comprises a second insulating member mounted on the notch, the second insulating member being configured to isolate the module electrical connection piece from the beam.

7. The battery pack according to claim 6 , further comprising:

a pressing plate, fixedly connected with the beam to fix the battery module.

8. The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein a material of the first protecting assembly is mica.

9. An apparatus using a battery pack as a power supply, comprising the battery pack according to claim 1 .
