A secondary battery includes: an electrode assembly including a first electrode plate, a second electrode plate, and a separator; a can having a closed upper surface with a rivet opening therein and an open lower surface to accommodate the electrode assembly, the can being electrically connected to the first electrode plate; a rivet terminal in the rivet opening and electrically connected to the second electrode plate; a gasket between the can and the rivet terminal; and a cap plate sealing the lower surface of the can.

This application provides a battery cell, a method and system for manufacturing same, a battery, and an electrical device. The battery cell includes: an electrode assembly; a shell assembly, configured to accommodate the electrode assembly and including a first side plate and a second side plate, where the first side plate and the second side plate are located on two sides of the electrode assembly along a first direction respectively; a pressure relief mechanism, disposed on the first side plate; and a support member, disposed between the electrode assembly and the first side plate, and configured to support the electrode assembly. A duct is provided on the support member. The duct is configured to guide gas between the second side plate and the support member into the pressure relief mechanism, so that the pressure relief mechanism is actuated to release a pressure when the pressure reaches a threshold.

A secondary battery includes: a cylindrical case; an electrode assembly in the cylindrical case; and a cap plate electrically connected to the electrode assembly and sealing the cylindrical case. The cap plate has a first flat portion at a center of the cap plate, a second flat portion outside the first flat portion, and a vent portion between the first flat portion and the second flat portion, and the vent portion has a thickness smaller than a thickness of the first flat portion or a thickness of the second flat portion.

A pressure relief apparatus includes a pressure relief body and a plurality of score grooves. The pressure relief body includes a pressure relief portion, and the pressure relief portion has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other in a thickness direction of the pressure relief portion. A plurality of score grooves are sequentially arranged at the pressure relief portion in a direction from the first surface to the second surface. In two adjacent score grooves in the thickness direction, a maximum width of a score groove farther away from the first surface is less than a minimum width of a score groove closer to the first surface.

A pressure relief apparatus, a battery cell, a battery, and an electrical device are provided in embodiments of the present application. The pressure relief apparatus includes a pressure relief body and a score groove. The pressure relief body includes a pressure relief portion configured to be opened to relieve a pressure inside the battery cell when an internal pressure or temperature of the battery cell reaches a threshold. The score groove is arranged on the pressure relief body and includes a first arc-shaped groove and a second arc-shaped groove. The arc-shaped design of the first arc-shaped groove and the second arc-shaped groove makes it less likely that the pressure relief portion cannot be opened in a large area, thereby improving the safety of the battery cell.

A secondary battery includes: a cylindrical case; an electrode assembly in the cylindrical case; and a cap assembly configured to seal the cylindrical case and including a cap-down electrically connected to the electrode assembly, a cap-up coupled to an upper portion of the cap-down, and a vent plate between the cap-down and the cap-up, wherein the vent plate includes: a first plate; and a second plate coupled to the outside of the first plate, wherein the first plate has rigidity less than that of the second plate.

A sealed battery, which is an exemplary embodiment, comprises a battery case including a bottomed cylindrical outer can and a sealing body that closes an opening of the outer can, a gasket disposed between the outer can and the sealing body, and an electrode body including an electrode and housed in the battery case. The sealing body includes a metal plate, and the metal plate has a thin portion formed in an annular shape, a valve portion having a convex shape inside the battery case, and an annular portion to which the electrode lead is connected. The gasket is provided with an elastically deformable portion that abuts against the inner surface of the valve portion and urges the valve portion to the outside of the battery case.

The embodiments of this application provide a battery cell, a battery, a power consumption device, and a battery cell manufacturing method and device, which pertain to the technical field of batteries. The battery cell includes a housing, an electrode assembly, an end cover, and a current collecting member. The housing has an opening. The electrode assembly is accommodated in the housing. The end cover covers the opening and is connected to the housing in a sealed manner. The current collecting member is accommodated in the housing and is located on a side of the electrode assembly facing the end cover, and the current collecting member is configured to be connected to the housing and the electrode assembly, so that the electrode assembly is electrically connected to the housing.

A venting unit for a housing has a base body to be connected fluid-tightly to a rim of a housing opening. The base body has a gas passage opening closed by a membrane that spans areally across the gas passage opening transversely to an axial direction. An actor is operatively connected to the base body and has an emergency venting spike extending axially toward the membrane. The emergency venting spike has a tip or a cutting edge arranged, in a state of rest, at a predetermined distance from a membrane surface of the membrane and can move toward the membrane when the actor is actuated so that tip or cutting edge punctures the membrane. A cover arranged at an outer side of the base body covers the gas passage opening. A fastening mechanism connects cover and base body. The actor has an actuation element for releasing the fastening mechanism.

An embodiment of the present application is provided with a battery box, a battery, a power consumption device, and a method for producing a battery and an apparatus for producing a battery. The box of the battery includes: an electrical chamber, configured to accommodate a battery cell group; a collection chamber, configured to collect emissions of the battery cell provided with the pressure relief mechanism when the pressure relief mechanism is actuated; an isolation component for isolating the electrical chamber and the collection chamber, such that the electrical chamber and the collection chamber are arranged on both sides of the isolation component; wherein a surface of the isolation component that is close to the battery cell group is provided with an avoidance opening, the avoidance opening extends along the first direction, and the plurality of pressure relief mechanisms of the battery cell group face the avoidance opening.
