Abstract

Provided are an end cover assembly, a battery cell, a battery, and an electrical device, relating to the field of batteries. The end cover assembly includes an end cover, a groove, and a reinforcing portion. The end cover has a first surface and a second surface opposite in its thickness direction. The groove is recessed from the first surface in a direction towards the second surface. The reinforcing portion protrudes from the first surface and/or the second surface, and surrounds the groove.

Claims (35)

1 . An end cover assembly, comprising:

an end cover, having a first surface and a second surface opposite in its thickness direction;

a groove, recessed from the first surface in a direction towards the second surface; and

a reinforcing portion, protruding from the first surface and/or the second surface and surrounding the groove.

2 . The end cover assembly according to claim 1 , wherein in the thickness direction, a distance between the first surface and the second surface is D, and a distance between a bottom surface of the groove and the first surface is d, wherein 0.1≤d/D≤0.6.

3 . The end cover assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the end cover is provided with a convex portion and a concave portion, the convex portion protrudes from the second surface, the concave portion is recessed from the first surface in the direction towards the second surface, and the concave portion corresponds to the convex portion; and

in the thickness direction, projections of the convex portion and the reinforcing portion on the end cover do not overlap.

4 . The end cover assembly according to claim 3 , wherein the end cover assembly comprises an electrode terminal disposed on the convex portion.

5 . The end cover assembly according to claim 3 , wherein reinforcing portions are disposed on two sides of the convex portion in a first direction, with the first direction being perpendicular to the thickness direction.

6 . The end cover assembly according to claim 5 , wherein the first direction is a length direction of the end cover.

7 . The end cover assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the end cover assembly comprises:

a pressure relief mechanism, disposed on the end cover, wherein in the thickness direction, projections of the pressure relief mechanism and the reinforcing portion on the end cover do not overlap.

8 . The end cover assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing portion is of a continuous structure disposed in a circumferential direction of the groove.

9 . The end cover assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing portion is of a discontinuous structure disposed in a circumferential direction of the groove.

10 . The end cover assembly according to claim 9 , wherein the reinforcing portion comprises a plurality of reinforcing segments spaced in the circumferential direction.

11 . The end cover assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the end cover assembly comprises:

a plurality of grooves, wherein reinforcing portions correspond to the grooves one to one.

12 . The end cover assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the end cover assembly comprises:

a plurality of reinforcing portions, each surrounding the groove.

13 . The end cover assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the end cover assembly comprises:

a plurality of grooves, wherein the reinforcing portion surrounds the plurality of grooves.

14 . A battery cell, comprising:

an electrode assembly;

a shell, having an accommodating space with an opening at one end for accommodating the electrode assembly; and

the end cover assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the end cover is connected to the shell and closes the opening.

15 . The battery cell according to claim 14 , wherein the first surface faces the electrode assembly, and the end cover assembly comprises:

an insulating member, disposed between the end cover and the electrode assembly, wherein the reinforcing portion abuts against the insulating member.

16 . A battery, comprising:

a box; and

the battery cell according to claim 14 , wherein the battery cell is accommodated in the box.

17 . The battery according to claim 16 , wherein the end cover is disposed on a side, near a bottom wall of the box, of the battery cell.

18 . The end cover assembly according to claim 4 , wherein reinforcing portions are disposed on two sides of the convex portion in a first direction, with the first direction being perpendicular to the thickness direction.

19 . The end cover assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the end cover assembly comprises:

a pressure relief mechanism, disposed on the end cover, wherein in the thickness direction, projections of the pressure relief mechanism and the reinforcing portion on the end cover do not overlap.

20 . The end cover assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the reinforcing portion is of a continuous structure disposed in a circumferential direction of the groove.
