目前，从市场形势的发展来看，动力电池的应用越加广泛。动力电池不仅被应用于水力、火力、风力和太阳能电站等储能电源系统，而且还被广泛应用于电动自行车、电动摩托车、电动汽车等电动交通工具，以及军事装备和航空航天等多个领域。随着动力电池应用领域的不断扩大，其市场的需求量也在不断地扩增。
本申请中，电池单体可以包括锂离子二次电池单体、锂离子一次电池单体、锂 硫电池单体、钠锂离子电池单体、钠离子电池单体或镁离子电池单体等，本申请实施例对此并不限定。电池单体可呈圆柱体、扁平体、长方体或其它形状等，本申请实施例对此也不限定。
本申请的实施例所提到的电池是指包括一个或多个电池单体以提供更高的电压和容量的单一的物理模块。例如，本申请中所提到的电池可以包括电池模块或电池包等。电池一般包括用于封装一个或多个电池单体的箱体。箱体可以避免液体或其他异物影响电池单体的充电或放电。
电池单体包括电极组件、电解液、端盖组件以及转接组件，电极组件包括正极极片、负极极片和隔离件。电池单体主要依靠金属离子在正极极片和负极极片之间移动来工作。正极极片包括正极集流体和正极活性物质层，正极活性物质层涂覆于正极集流体的表面；正极集流体包括正极集流部和连接于正极集流部的正极极耳，正极集流部涂覆有正极活性物质层，正极极耳未涂覆正极活性物质层。以锂离子电池为例，正极集流体的材料可以为铝，正极活性物质层包括正极活性物质，正极活性物质可以为钴酸锂、磷酸铁锂、三元锂或锰酸锂等。负极极片包括负极集流体和负极活性物质层，负极活性物质层涂覆于负极集流体的表面；负极集流体包括负极集流部和连接于负极集流部的负极极耳，负极集流部涂覆有负极活性物质层，负极极耳未涂覆负极活性物质层。负极集流体的材料可以为铜，负极活性物质层包括负极活性物质，负极活性物质可以为碳或硅等。隔离件的材质可以为PP(polypropylene，聚丙烯)或PE(polyethylene，聚乙烯)等。
端盖组件包括电极端子，转接组件用于将电极组件的极耳与电极端子电连接。本申请人注意到，转接组件在流经的电流超过预设阈值发生熔断后，存在绝缘防护部件与集流部件之间连接不可靠的问题，给电池单体带来了安全隐患。
为了缓解转接组件在发生熔断后绝缘性差的问题，申请人做了进一步深入研究发现，电池单体在运输或者受压的过程中，转接组件绝缘防护部件易发生变形，使得其与集流部件之间的结合面易翘曲产生缝隙，影响绝缘防护部件与集流部件之间连接的可靠性，以及绝缘防护部件对熔断部包裹的紧密性，使得转接组件的绝缘防护部件与集流部件之间的连接性能以及密封性能较差，使得绝缘防护部件与熔断部发生相对位移甚至脱落，或使得转接组件在发生熔断后，电解液进入熔断部中，使得端子连接部和极耳连接部的电连接重新建立，给电池单体带来了安全隐患。
基于以上考虑，为了解决转接组件连接可靠性、密封性差的问题，发明人经过深入研究，设计了一种转接组件，转接组件包括集流部件以及绝缘防护部件，集流部件具有端子连接部、熔断部以及极耳连接部，熔断部连接于端子连接部与极耳连接部之间，熔断部用于在流经集流部件的电流超过预设阈值时熔断；绝缘防护部件，包覆熔断部设置，绝缘防护部件用于在熔断部熔断时保持端子连接部与极耳连接部的相对 位置固定。熔断部至少在厚度方向上的一个表面形成有第一配合部，第一配合部与绝缘防护部件中的一者至少部分沿厚度方向凸出设置并镶嵌于另一者的内部。
在这样的转接组件中，熔断部连接在端子连接部与极耳连接部之间且当流经集流部件的电流超过预设阈值时熔断，使得极耳与电极端子断开，保证电池单体的安全。并且，绝缘防护部件包覆熔断部设置，使得当熔断部熔断时，能够保证保持端子连接部与极耳连接部的相对位置固定，避免二者再次搭接对电池单体带来安全隐患。同时，通过将熔断部至少在厚度方向上的一个表面形成有第一配合部，第一配合部与绝缘防护部件中的一者至少部分沿厚度方向凸出设置并镶嵌于另一者的内部，能够提高熔断部与绝缘防护部件之间连接接合面的连接紧密性，使得电池更加安全。

请参照图4至图6，图4为本申请一些实施例提供的转接组件24的轴测图，图5为本申请一些时候说了提供的转接组件24的俯视图，图6为图5中沿A-A方向的剖示图。
转接组件24包括集流部件241以及绝缘防护部件242，集流部件241具有端子连接部2411、熔断部2412以及极耳连接部2413，熔断部2412连接于端子连接部2411与极耳连接部2413之间，熔断部2412用于在流经集流部件241的电流超过预设阈值时和/或温度过高时熔断。绝缘防护部件242包覆熔断部2412设置，绝缘防护部件242用于在熔断部2412熔断时保持端子连接部2411与极耳连接部2413的相对位置固定。其中，熔断部2412至少在厚度方向X上的一个表面形成有第一配合部2414，第一配合部2414与绝缘防护部件242中的一者至少部分沿厚度方向X凸出设置并镶嵌于另一者的内部。
可选地，端子连接部2411可以用于与端盖组件22的电极端子222连接，极耳连接部2413可以用于与电极组件23的极耳231连接。

可选地，可以使得熔断部在自身宽度方向的一侧设置缺口，或者在自身宽度方 向的两侧设置缺口，或者在宽度方向上两侧之间的区域设置一个或者两个以上贯通孔，以使得熔断部至少部分区域的过流面积小于端子连接部2411的过流面积以及极耳连接部2413的过流面积。可选地，熔断部得宽度方向与厚度方向X相垂直。
可选地，预设的阈值范围不做具体数值限定，具体可以根据转接组件24所应用电池单体20的安全等级进行设置，

可选地，绝缘防护部件242用于在熔断部2412熔断时保持端子连接部2411与极耳连接部2413的相对位置固定可以理解为，当流经集流部件241的电流超过预设阈值时，熔断部2412发生熔断分隔成两个部分，其中一个部分与端子连接部2411连接且另一个部分与极耳连接部2413连接。由于熔断部2412熔断后的两个部分位于绝缘防护部件242内，因此，即使熔断部2412发生熔断，分隔形成的两个部分在绝缘防护部件242内的位置保持不变，进而使得端子连接部2411以及极耳连接部2413的相对位置保持不变。
可选地，熔断部2412至少在厚度方向X上的一个表面形成的第一配合部2414可以为凸起，也可以为凹陷，第一配合部2414与绝缘防护部件242中的一者至少部分沿厚度方向X凸出设置并镶嵌于另一者的内部。可以使得第一配合部2414可以至少部分沿厚度方向X凸出设置并镶嵌于绝缘防护部件242的内部，当然，也可以使得绝缘防护部件242至少部分沿厚度方向X凸出设置并镶嵌于第一配合部2414的内部。

并且，第一配合部2414与绝缘防护部件242中的一者至少部分沿厚度方向X凸出设置并镶嵌于另一者的内部的配合关系，还能够保证熔断部2412发生熔断分隔形成的两个部分各自与绝缘防护部件242之间的连接强度，避免与绝缘防护部件242 之间相对位置的改变，进而有效的避免熔断部2412熔断后剩余部分重新搭接，提高电池单体20的安全性能。
参照图4至图6所示，在一些可选地实施中，第一配合部2414由熔断部2412在厚度方向X上去除部分材料形成。

第一配合部2414可以是小于熔断部2412的厚度尺寸的槽状，当然也可以是等于熔断部2412的厚度尺寸的孔状。
本申请实施例提供的转接组件24，通过使得第一配合部2414由熔断部2412在厚度方向X上去除部分材料形成，利于第一配合部2414的成型。并且，上述设置不会增加熔断部2412的过流面积，保证流经集流部件241的电流超过预设阈值时，熔断部2412保证先于端子连接部2411以及极耳连接部2413熔断。

可选地，第一连接区2412a、过渡区以及第二连接区2412c可以相继设置。可选地，过渡区的过流面积小于第一连接区2412a的过流面积以及第二连接区2412c的过流面积。
可选地，第一压花2414a在过渡连接区2412b的分布密度分别小于第一压花2414a在第一连接区2412a的分布密度以及第二连接区2412c的分布密度。可以理解为，第一压花2414a在过渡连接区2412b单位面积的分布数量小于第一压花2414a在第一连接区2412a以及第二连接区2412c单位面积的分布数量。

本申请实施例提供的转接组件24，通过在凹部2411a的底壁上形成有第二配合部2411b，第二配合部2411b包括多个第二压花2411c，能够增加凹部2411a的底壁的粗糙度，使得当端子连接部2411在与电极端子222进行激光焊接时，防止激光被反射，提高激光能量利用率，保证焊接需求。
如图12所示，作为一种可选地实施方式，集流部件241整体呈板状结构体，熔断部2412上设置有沿厚度方向X贯穿的缺口2412d，缺口2412d用于使得熔断部2412的过流面积小于端子连接部2411的过流面积以及极耳连接部2413的过流面积，绝缘防护部件242在厚度方向X的正投影覆盖缺口2412d。
可选地，集流部件241整体呈板状结构体可以理解为集流部件241大部分区域为板状，也就是说集流部件241大体呈板状结构体，其允许具有凸部或凹部。
可选地，缺口2412d可以为具有开口的U形槽状。
可选地，可以使得熔断部2412在自身宽度方向的一侧设置缺口2412d，或者在自身宽度方向的两侧设置缺口2412d.。

可选地，熔断部2412、端子连接部2411、极耳连接部2413三者排布方向与厚度方向X相垂直。
可选地，当熔断部2412包括第一连接区2412a、过渡连接区2412b以及第二连接区2412c时，缺口2412d具体可以位于过渡连接区2412b，使得熔断部2412至少在过渡连接区2412b的位置的过流面积小于端子连接部2411的过流面以及极耳连接部2413的过流面积。
可选地，熔断部2412设置缺口2412d的位置位于绝缘防护部件242内部，绝缘防护部件242包围熔断部2412设置。
参照图13所示，图13为本申请再一些实施例提供的转接组件24的俯视图。可以理解的是，缺口2412d不限于为U形槽状，如图13所示，在有些实施例中，也可以为闭合的孔状。
本申请实施例提供的转接组件24，集流部件241整体呈板状结构体，利于加工成型，保证与电极端子222以及极耳231之间的连接需求。缺口2412d的设置利于减小熔断部2412对应区域的过流面积，提高转接组件24的安全性能，绝缘防护部件242在厚度方向X的正投影覆盖缺口2412d，使得当熔断部2412在缺口2412d的位置发生熔断时，绝缘防护部件242能够保证熔断部2412剩余两侧部分的相对位置保持不变，进而满足当熔断部2412熔断时保持端子连接部2411与极耳连接部2413的相对位置固定需求。
在一些可选地实施例中，端子连接部2411、熔断部2412以及极耳连接部2413可以为一体式结构，保证二者之间的连接强度。
可选地，极耳连接部2413也可以为两个间隔且平行设置的片状单元，两个片状单元间隔设置并分别与熔断部2412连接。可以为一整体式片状结构，只要能够满足与极耳231之间的连接需求均可。
