Abstract

A battery includes a box body and a battery module. The box body is provided with a first positioning portion. The battery module is at least partially accommodated in the box body, and the battery module is provided with a second positioning portion, where the second positioning portion is configured to be plug-fitted to the first positioning portion to position the battery module in the box body. The first positioning portion is disposed in the box body, and the second positioning portion configured to be plug-fitted to the first positioning portion is disposed on the battery module.

Claims (34)

1 . A battery, comprising:

a box body provided with a first positioning portion;

a battery module at least partially accommodated in the box body, wherein the battery module is provided with a second positioning portion, and the second positioning portion is configured to be plug-fitted to the first positioning portion to position the battery module in the box body.

2 . The battery according to claim 1 , wherein:

one of the first positioning portion and the second positioning portion is a positioning groove and the other is a positioning protrusion; and

a groove side wall of the positioning groove comprises a first guide inclined surface, and the first guide inclined surface is configured to guide the positioning protrusion into the positioning groove along a depth direction of the positioning groove, so that a positioning fit is formed between the positioning protrusion and the positioning groove.

3 . The battery according to claim 2 , wherein a peripheral wall of the positioning protrusion comprises a second guide inclined surface, wherein the second guide inclined surface is configured to match the first guide inclined surface.

4 . The battery according to claim 2 , wherein the groove side wall comprises a plurality of first guide inclined surfaces located in different directions and connected sequentially in a circumferential direction.

5 . The battery according to claim 4 , wherein the first guide inclined surface is a plane.

6 . The battery according to claim 2 , wherein the first guide inclined surface is part or all of a conical surface.

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

two brackets spaced apart in a first direction, wherein the two brackets jointly support the battery module;

wherein the first positioning portion is provided on the bracket.

8 . The battery according to claim 7 , wherein the battery module comprises a plurality of battery cells and two end plates arranged at two ends of the plurality of battery cells along the first direction, wherein the end plate is provided with the second positioning portion, and the end plate is configured to be supported by the bracket.

9 . The battery according to claim 8 , wherein the battery cell is located between the two brackets.

10 . The battery according to claim 9 , wherein:

the first positioning portion is a positioning groove, and the second positioning portion is a positioning protrusion; and

the positioning groove runs through a side of the bracket facing the end plate and a side of the bracket facing the other bracket of the two brackets.

11 . The battery according to claim 9 , wherein a gap is present between an end of the battery cell provided with the end plate and the bracket.

12 . The battery according to claim 8 , wherein:

one of the first positioning portion and the second positioning portion is a positioning groove and the other is a positioning protrusion; and

a gap is present between a bottom surface of the positioning groove and an end surface of the positioning protrusion facing the bottom surface of the positioning groove.

13 . The battery according to claim 9 , wherein the bracket is provided with a plurality of first positioning portions, and the plurality of first positioning portions are spaced apart along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.

14 . An electric device, comprising the battery according to claim 1 .

15 . A manufacturing device of battery, comprising:

a providing apparatus, configured to provide a battery module and a box body, wherein:

the box body is provided with a first positioning portion; and

the battery module is at least partially accommodated in the box body, and the battery module is provided with a second positioning portion; and

an assembling apparatus, configured to plug-fit the second positioning portion to the first positioning portion to position the battery module in the box body.

16 . A manufacturing method of battery, comprising:

providing a battery module and a box body, wherein:

the box body is provided with a first positioning portion; and

the battery module is at least partially accommodated in the box body, and the battery module is provided with a second positioning portion; and

plug-fitting the second positioning portion to the first positioning portion to position the battery module in the box body.
