Abstract

A box includes a frame, a base plate, a fastener, a sealing member, and a connecting member. The base plate and the frame enclose an accommodating cavity. The fastener includes a body, a flange portion, and a stop portion. The flange portion is disposed at one end of the body. The stop portion is formed around the body. At least part of the frame and at least part of the base plate are sandwiched between the flange portion and the stop portion. An annular boss is formed on a side of the flange portion farther away from the body. The sealing member fits around and abuts against the annular boss. The connecting member is configured to connect to the fastener so that the sealing member is sandwiched between the flange portion and the connecting member.

Claims (24)

1 . A box applied to battery, comprising:

a frame;

a base plate, wherein the base plate and the frame enclose an accommodating cavity;

a fastener, comprising a body, a flange portion, and a stop portion, wherein the flange portion is disposed at one end of the body, the stop portion is formed around the body, at least part of the frame and at least part of the base plate are sandwiched between the flange portion and the stop portion, and an annular boss is formed on a side of the flange portion farther away from the body;

a sealing member fitting around and abutting against the annular boss; and

a connecting member, configured to connect to the fastener so that the sealing member is sandwiched between the flange portion and the connecting member.

2 . The box according to claim 1 , wherein:

the sealing member abuts against an outer side of the annular boss in a radial direction; and/or

the sealing member abuts against an inner side of the annular boss in the radial direction.

3 . The box according to claim 1 , wherein in a direction of the flange portion facing towards the sealing member, the flange portion covers the sealing member.

4 . The box according to claim 1 , wherein:

the fastener has a connecting hole, wherein the connecting hole runs through the flange portion, the body, and the stop portion; and

the connecting hole has a threaded hole segment, wherein the threaded hole segment is on a side of the stop portion farther away from the flange portion, and the connecting member is threadedly connected to the threaded hole segment.

5 . The box according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a protective plate, wherein the connecting member runs through the protective plate to connect to the fastener, and at least part of the protective plate is sandwiched between the connecting member and the sealing member.

6 . The box according to claim 1 , wherein:

the base plate comprises a first heat conducting plate and a second heat conducting plate connected to each other, wherein a flow channel is formed between the first heat conducting plate and the second heat conducting plate; and

at least part of the first heat conducting plate and at least part of the second heat conducting plate are sandwiched between the flange portion and the stop portion.

7 . The box according to claim 6 , wherein the first heat conducting plate is located between the second heat conducting plate and the frame, the first heat conducting plate has a first connecting hole, the second heat conducting plate has a second connecting hole, and the fastener runs through the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole, the second connecting hole being larger than the first connecting hole in diameter.

8 . The box according to claim 6 , wherein the base plate further comprises a welding layer, wherein the welding layer is disposed between the first heat conducting plate and the second heat conducting plate to connect the first heat conducting plate and the second heat conducting plate.

9 . A battery, comprising:

the box according to claim 1 ; and

a battery cell accommodated in the accommodating cavity of the box.

10 . An electric apparatus, comprising the battery according to claim 9 , wherein the battery is configured to supply electric energy.
