Abstract

A battery cell may comprise: a case having an opening; an end cover assembly for closing the opening, wherein the end cover assembly may be provided with a liquid injection hole, and the liquid injection hole may comprise a first hole segment; a rivet, comprising a nail cap and a nail body, wherein the nail body may pass through the first hole segment, and the nail cap may be located on the side of the first hole segment away from the interior of the case; and a sealer, disposed between the nail cap and the end cover assembly, for sealing the first hole segment.

Claims (17)

1 . A battery cell comprising:

a case having an opening;

an end cover assembly for closing the opening, wherein the end cover assembly is provided with a liquid injection hole, and the liquid injection hole includes a first hole segment;

a rivet, comprising a nail cap and a nail body, wherein the nail body passes through the first hole segment, and the nail cap is located on the side of the first hole segment away from the interior of the case; and

a sealer, arranged between the nail cap and the end cover assembly, for sealing the first hole segment;

wherein a position-limit boss is formed on the side of the nail cap close to the first hole segment, and the position-limit boss is used for abutting against the end cover assembly to limit the compression amount of the sealer; or, a position-limit boss is formed on the end cover assembly, and the position-limit boss abuts against the side of the nail cap close to the first hole segment to limit the compression amount of the sealer.

2 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein a height of the position-limit boss is less than an original thickness of the sealer.

3 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the position-limit boss is disposed around the sealer.

4 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the position-limit boss is an annular boss disposed around a central axis of the rivet; or, the position-limit boss comprises a plurality of sub-bosses distributed at intervals around a central axis of the rivet.

5 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the position-limit boss is formed at the edge of the nail cap.

6 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the end cover assembly comprises an end cover and an electrode terminal, the end cover covers the opening, the electrode terminal is disposed on the end cover, and the liquid injection hole is disposed on the end cover or the electrode terminal.

7 . The battery cell according to claim 6 , wherein the liquid injection hole further comprises a second hole segment in communication with the first hole segment, the second hole segment is located on the side of the first hole segment away from the interior of the case, the battery cell further comprises a sealing nail, and the sealing nail is in sealing fit with the second hole segment.

8 . The battery cell according to claim 7 , wherein the liquid injection hole is disposed on the end cover, and the side of the sealing nail away from the interior of the case does not exceed the side of the end cover away from the interior of the case;

or, the liquid injection hole is disposed on the electrode terminal, and the side of the sealing nail away from the interior of the case does not exceed the side of the electrode terminal away from the interior of the case.

9 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid injection hole further comprises a third hole segment in communication with the first hole segment, the third hole segment is located on the side of the first hole segment close to the interior of the case, and the end of the nail body away from the nail cap is located in the third hole segment and does not exceed the third hole segment.

10 . A battery comprising the battery cell of claim 1 .

11 . An electrical apparatus comprising the battery of claim 10 , wherein the battery is configured to provide electric energy.
