The battery is a commonly used electrochemical energy storage device, and generally includes a casing, a battery cell enclosed in a cavity defined by the casing, and the like, where the battery cell is provided with a tab (e.g., a first tab described below), and needs to penetrate through the casing through a conductive component (e.g., an outer tab provided with a terminal described below) to electrically extract the tab in the cavity to form an electrode of the battery, however, the connection structure of the conventional conductive component has poor sealing performance.

In view of the above problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides a battery, as shown in fig. 1 to 13, including: the shell 1 is enclosed into a cavity; the housing 1 comprises a first side plate 11; the battery cell 2 is positioned in the cavity, and the battery cell 2 is provided with a first tab 21; the external tab 41 is electrically connected with the first tab 21, the external tab 41 is located on one side of the first side plate 11 departing from the cavity, the external tab 41 includes a pole 42 protruding outwards, the first side plate 11 includes a second through hole 110 corresponding to the pole 42, and the pole 42 is connected with the first tab 21 through the second through hole 110 (i.e., penetrating through the first side plate 11); the diameter of the pole 42 tends to increase or decrease in the direction from the first side plate 11 to the electric core 2, whereby the sealing performance of the battery can be improved.

Specifically, the pole 42 is generally formed to protrude outward in the thickness direction of the external tab 41, i.e., the axial direction of the pole 42 is parallel to the thickness direction of the external tab 41.

In addition, the diameter of the pole 42 has a trend of change (i.e. an increasing or decreasing trend) in the direction from the first side plate 11 to the first socket 31 (i.e. the direction of the raw material outer tab 41 or the direction from the outer pole piece 41 to the first side plate 11/first socket 31), and the change may be gradual, i.e. uniformly increased or decreased with substantially the same magnitude. The diameters (diameters) of the second through hole 110 and the first through hole 310 vary with the diameter of the terminal 42, for example, in the direction from the first side plate 11 to the first receiving member 31, the diameter of the terminal 42 gradually increases, and at this time, the diameters of the second through hole 110 and the first through hole 310 also gradually increase; in the direction from the first side plate 11 to the first socket 31, the diameter of the pole 42 gradually decreases, and at this time, the hole diameters of the second through hole 110 and the first through hole 310 also gradually decrease.

As shown in fig. 5 and 6, an end surface of the terminal post 42 close to the battery cell 2 may be flush with a side surface of the first receiving member 31 close to the battery cell 2. Specifically, the thickness of the outer extension portion 43 in the axial direction of the first through hole 310 (also in the axial direction of the terminal 42) is substantially equal to the depth of the second hole section in the axial direction of the first through hole 310, so that the outer extension portion 43 is snapped into the second hole section, and one end surface of the outer extension portion 43 close to the battery cell 2 is flush with one side surface of the first receiving member 31 facing the battery cell 2, which not only can ensure the bonding strength of the terminal 42 and the first receiving member 31, but also can prevent the terminal 42 from interfering with the connection of the first tab 21 or the first connecting plate 51 and the first receiving member 31.

In addition, one end of the terminal post 42 close to the battery cell 2 may also extend out of the first through hole 310, and an outer extension portion 43 connected to one side surface of the first receiving member 31 close to the battery cell 2 is formed by extending outward along the circumferential direction of the first through hole 310, that is, one end surface of the terminal post 42 close to the battery cell 2 is not flush with one side surface of the first receiving member 31 facing the battery cell 2, but is located between the first receiving member 31 and the battery cell 2.

In the circumferential direction of the first through hole 310, the difference between the aperture of the first through hole 310 and the diameter of the pole 42 is substantially equal to the width of the first insulating layer 81 in the circumferential direction of the first through hole 310, and the circumferential direction of the first through hole 310 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the first through hole 310.
