- the setting of the enclosure mechanism can extend the discharge path of the emissions inside the battery box, so that the minimum length of the discharge path is less than the shortest distance between the first pressure relief mechanism and the second pressure relief mechanism, thereby reducing the temperature of the emissions inside the box, so that the temperature is lower when it is discharged from the battery box to the outside through the second pressure relief mechanism, thereby improving the safety performance of the battery.
- the opening is located in the enclosure mechanism at a position far away from the second pressure relief mechanism.

- openings of two adjacent enclosure mechanisms among the plurality of enclosure mechanisms are disposed on two adjacent walls among the two adjacent enclosure mechanisms, and the openings of the two adjacent enclosure mechanisms are staggered with respect to each other.
- the openings of adjacent enclosure mechanisms among multiple enclosure mechanisms are staggered with each other, which can prevent the high-temperature emissions of battery cells received by the first exhaust space formed by one enclosure mechanism from causing a wider range of impact and damage to the battery cells corresponding to other adjacent enclosure mechanisms, and also prevent the pressure of the first exhaust space from being too high, thereby ensuring the safety performance of the battery.

- FIG. 12 shows another exploded schematic diagram of a battery 10 provided in one embodiment of the present application.
- an isolation component 40 is arranged between the first box wall 101 of the box body 110 and the first wall 201 of at least one battery cell 20 (not shown in the figure), and the isolation component 40 is used to form an electrical cavity and an exhaust cavity that are isolated from each other inside the box body 110, wherein the electrical cavity is used to accommodate at least one battery cell 20 (not shown in the figure), and the enclosure mechanism 30 is arranged in the exhaust cavity, and the enclosure mechanism 30 is attached to the first box wall 101 of the box body 110 and the isolation component 40, and the enclosure mechanism 30 is used to enclose in the exhaust cavity to form a first exhaust space 310 corresponding to the first pressure relief mechanism 213 (not shown in the figure) of at least one battery cell 20.
- the internal space of the box 110 is separated into an electrical chamber and an exhaust chamber by using an isolation component 40. That is, inside the box 110, the electrical chamber that accommodates at least one battery cell 20 is separated from the exhaust chamber that collects and discharges the exhaust of at least one battery cell 20. In this way, when an abnormality occurs in a battery cell 20, the exhaust of the battery cell 20 first enters the exhaust chamber, and the exhaust will not directly affect the electrical components in the electrical chamber, thereby further enhancing the safety of the battery.
- the isolation component 40 may have a wall shared by the electrical cavity and the exhaust cavity.
- the isolation component 40 may be a wall of the electrical cavity and a wall of the exhaust cavity at the same time. In this way, the discharge of the battery cell 20 can directly pass through the isolation component 40 and enter the exhaust cavity, avoiding the introduction of other structural components into the box body 110, which affects the performance parameters of the battery 10 such as the energy density.

- the box body 110 is divided into an electrical chamber and an exhaust chamber that are isolated from each other by the isolation component 40. Therefore, the emissions of the battery cells 20 in the electrical chamber will first be discharged to the exhaust chamber through the isolation component 40, and will not directly affect the electrical structure of the battery cells 20 in the electrical chamber, thereby further improving the safety performance of the battery 10.
- the enclosure mechanism 30 is arranged in the exhaust chamber to guide the emissions so that they can only be discharged through the opening 301 in the enclosure mechanism 30, extending the emission path of the emissions inside the box body 110, thereby further improving the safety performance of the battery 10.

- the first box wall 101 and the isolation component 40 can be used to form two walls arranged opposite to each other in the exhaust chamber, and after the discharge of the battery cell 20 passes through the isolation component 40, most of the discharge will directly hit the first box wall 101. Therefore, the second pressure relief mechanism 113 is not arranged on the first box wall 101 but on other box walls, which can extend the discharge path of the discharge inside the box body 110, thereby improving the safety of the battery 10.
- the first box wall 101 of the battery 10 when the battery 10 is installed in an electrical device, can be the bottom wall of the box body 110, and the first wall 201 of the at least one battery cell 20 provided with the first pressure relief mechanism 213 can also be called the bottom wall of the at least one battery cell 20.

- one of the two enclosure mechanisms 30 may be provided with two openings 301, and the other enclosure mechanism 30 may be formed with one opening 301.
- the three openings 301 are staggered to avoid direct convection between the two first exhaust spaces 310 corresponding to the two enclosure mechanisms 30, to prevent high-temperature exhaust from causing a wider range of impact and damage, and to prevent the pressure of the first exhaust space 310 from being too high, thereby ensuring the safety performance of the battery 10.
