电极组件213是电池单体21中发生电化学反应的部件。在电池单体21的内部可以包含一个或更多个电极组件213。电极组件213主要由极片(正极片和负极片)卷绕或层叠放置形成,并且通常在正极片(第一极片)与负极片(第二极片)之间设有隔膜。极片(第一极片和第二极片)具有活性物质的部分构成电极组件213的主体部2131,第一极片和第二极片不具有活性物质的部分各自构成极耳2132。正极极耳和负极极耳可以共同位于主体部的一端或是分别位于主体部2131的两端。
具体地,通过将电极组件213设置成卷绕式结构且为扁平状,以及电极组件213的外表面包括两个扁平面,两个扁平面沿第二方向相互面对,或者将电极组件213为叠片式结构,从而减少了电极组件213在第一方向上所占用的空间,以便于电池10在第一方向上进行其他部件的布局和安装。
在本申请的一些实施例中,沿第一方向,电池单体21的最大尺寸为L,沿第二方向,电池单体21的最大尺寸为D,第二方向、第一方向和第三方向两两相交,其中,L/D范围值为1~30。

另外,粘接固定的连接强度高,能够有效保证了电池单体21在箱体30内的稳定性。
在本申请的一些实施例中,电池单体21的第二表面217与箱体30的第一部分31或第二部分32之间还可以通过卡接的方式进行连接固定。例如在第一部分31或第二部分32对应电池单体21的位置设置卡槽,通过将电池单体21的卡入卡槽即可实现电池单体21与第一部分31或第二部分32的连接固定。
在本申请的一些实施例中,第二表面217的数量为两个,两个第二表面217相对设置,第一部分31与一个第二表面217粘接,第二部分32与另一个第二表面217粘接。
具体地,第二表面217的数量为两个,并且两个第二表面217在第三方向上相对设置,通过将第二表面217设置成 两个,并且两个第二表面217分别与箱体30的第一部分31和第二部分32粘接固定,进一步提高了电池单体21与箱体30之间的连接强度,使得电池单体21在箱体30内的稳定性得到了进一步地提高。
在本申请的一些实施例中,如图30所示,第二表面217通过第一粘接层60与第一部分31和/或第二部分32固定连接,电池10还包括导热件40,导热件40通过第二粘接层70与电池单体21的面积最大的面导热连接,第一粘接层60的导热系数小于或等于第二粘接层70的导热系数。
具体地,由于第一粘接层60用于连接第二表面217和箱体30,而第二粘接层70用于导热连接电池单体21的面积最大的面和导热件40,故将第一粘接层60的导热系数小于或等于第二粘接层70的导热系数设置,以保证更加有效地通过导热件40对电池单体21进行散热。

另外,在本实施例中,第一粘接层60与第二粘接层70可以为同一种胶,但是两者的导热系数不同,即第一粘接层60的导热系数小于第二粘接层70的导热系数,例如第一粘结层60和第二粘结层70分别可选用导热型聚氨酯胶粘剂层,并在其中添加不同份量的导热颗粒,从而达到不同的导热系数。
另外,第一粘结层60和第二粘结层70可以为两种不同的胶,例如第一粘接层60可以为结构胶、发泡填充胶、压敏胶或灌封胶等,第二粘接层70可以为导热胶等。
