Abstract

A battery cell includes an outer housing having a top end and a bottom end, a cell body mounted inside the outer housing with a gap present between an outer wall of the cell body and an inner wall of the outer housing, an upper cover covering the top end and provided with an electrolyte injection hole and a degassing hole that are both in communication with the gap, and a conduit. One end of the conduit is connected to the electrolyte injection hole, and another end of the conduit extends into the gap and toward the bottom end.

Claims (21)

1 . A battery cell, comprising:

an outer housing, wherein the outer housing has a top end and a bottom end;

a cell body mounted inside the outer housing, wherein a gap is present between an outer wall of the cell body and an inner wall of the outer housing;

an upper cover covering the top end, wherein the upper cover is provided with an electrolyte injection hole and a degassing hole, and the electrolyte injection hole and the degassing hole are both in communication with the gap; and

a conduit, wherein one end of the conduit is connected to the electrolyte injection hole, and another end of the conduit extends into the gap and toward the bottom end.

2 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the electrolyte injection hole and the degassing hole are both provided in alignment with the gap.

3 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the electrolyte injection hole is provided on one end of the upper cover, and the degassing hole is provided on an end of the upper cover facing away from the electrolyte injection hole.

4 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein:

the gap comprises a first gap and a second gap;

the cell body has a first arc-shaped protrusion and a second arc-shaped protrusion on one side, the first gap is present between an outer wall of the first arc-shaped protrusion, an outer wall of the second arc-shaped protrusion, and the inner wall of the outer housing, and the electrolyte injection hole is aligned with the first gap; and

the cell body has a third arc-shaped protrusion and a fourth arc-shaped protrusion on a side facing away from the first arc-shaped protrusion, the second gap is present between an outer wall of the third arc-shaped protrusion, an outer wall of the fourth arc-shaped protrusion, and the inner wall of the outer housing, and the degassing hole is aligned with the second gap.

5 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein a distance a between an end of the conduit facing away from the electrolyte injection hole and the bottom end satisfies 5 mm≤a≤7 mm.

6 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the electrolyte injection hole and the degassing hole both have a hole diameter greater than or equal to 2 mm and less than or equal to 4 mm.

7 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an insulating bottom supporting plate mounted on the bottom end.

8 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a sealing member detachably mounted in the electrolyte injection hole.

9 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a sealing member detachably mounted in the degassing hole.

10 . A battery, comprising the battery cell according to claim 1 .

11 . An electric apparatus, comprising the battery according to claim 10 , wherein the battery is configured to supply electric energy.
