Abstract

The disclosure provides a battery and a method for manufacturing the battery. The battery includes: a sampling apparatus; and at least two battery cells arranged in a first direction. Ends of the battery cells are provided with terminal posts, and an extending direction of the terminal posts protruding from the ends of the battery cells is perpendicular to the first direction. The sampling apparatus includes a sampling element having a built-in sampling signal line, at least two mounting portions are formed on the sampling element, and the mounting portions match side shapes of the terminal posts, so that the mounting portions are closely attached to the terminal posts of the corresponding battery cells. The sampling apparatus further includes a connection portion connected to the sampling signal line, and the connection portion electrically connects the mounting portions and the terminal posts.

Claims (23)

1 . A battery, comprising:

at least two battery cells arranged in a first direction, wherein ends of the battery cells are provided with terminal posts, and an extending direction of the terminal posts protruding from the ends of the battery cells is perpendicular to the first direction; and

a sampling apparatus, comprising:

a sampling element having a built-in sampling signal line, wherein at least two mounting portions are formed on the sampling element, and the mounting portions match side shapes of the terminal posts, so that the mounting portions are closely attached to the terminal posts of the corresponding battery cells; and

a connection portion connected to the sampling signal line, wherein the connection portion is configured to electrically connect the mounting portions and the terminal posts.

2 . The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal post is cylindrical, the mounting portion is arc-shaped, and the arc-shaped mounting portion is closely attached to the cylindrical terminal post.

3 . The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the sampling apparatus further comprises a double-sided tape, one side of the double-sided tape is adhered to the mounting portion, and the other side of the double-sided tape is adhered to the terminal post.

4 . The battery according to claim 3 , wherein each mounting portion corresponds to two pieces of double-sided tapes, and the connection portion is located between the two pieces of double-sided tapes.

5 . The battery according to claim 3 , wherein the double-sided tape is a double-sided foam tape.

6 . The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the connection portion is a welding pad configured to weld the mounting portion and the terminal post.

7 . The battery according to claim 6 , wherein a dimension of the welding pad in a second direction is less than a dimension of the mounting portion in the second direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

8 . The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the sampling element is a flexible printed circuit board.

9 . The battery according to claim 6 , wherein the sampling apparatus further comprises a thermistor, and the thermistor is connected to the welding pad through a heat-conducting structural adhesive.

10 . The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the sampling apparatus further comprises a connector, the battery further comprises a battery management system, and the connector is configured to connect to the battery management system, so as to transmit, to the battery management system, a sampling signal collected by the sampling apparatus.

11 . The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the battery cells are distributed in a plurality of rows, each row of the battery cells comprises at least two of the battery cells connected at least in the second direction, and battery cells in each row of the battery cells are connected in series; and

there are a plurality of sampling apparatuses, and a number of battery cells contained in each row of the battery cells is equal to a number of sampling apparatuses.

12 . A manufacturing method for a battery, comprising:

arranging at least two battery cells in a first direction, wherein ends of the battery cells are provided with terminal posts; and

providing a sampling apparatus;

wherein the sampling apparatus comprises:

a sampling element having a built-in sampling signal line, at least two mounting portions are formed on the sampling element, and the mounting portions match side shapes of the terminal posts, so that the mounting portions are closely attached to the terminal posts; and

a welding pad connected to the sampling signal line, the welding pad is arranged on the mounting portions, and the welding pad is further welded to the terminal posts.

13 . A power consuming device, comprising the battery according to claim 1 .
