At present, judging from the development of the market situation, the application of power batteries is becoming more and more extensive. Power batteries are not only used in energy storage power systems such as hydropower, thermal power, wind power and solar power stations, but are also widely used in electric vehicles such as electric bicycles, electric motorcycles and electric cars, as well as in many fields such as military equipment and aerospace. . As the application fields of power batteries continue to expand, their market demand is also constantly expanding.

The applicant has noticed that as the usage of batteries gradually increases, the sampling stability of the battery and the structural reliability of the sampling assembly are becoming more and more important. When the sampling component used for the battery samples the electrical parameters of the battery cells, if the battery is subjected to vibration shock, the vibration shock intensity or frequency of the battery cells at different positions in the battery may be inconsistent, causing the circuit board and sampling pins to be inconsistent. Due to the impact of vibration and shock, the circuit board is pulled and even the circuit board is torn and the sampling pin is broken, which reduces the reliability of the sampling component and seriously affects the stability of battery sampling.

In order to alleviate the problem of vibration impact on the sampling component, the applicant found through research that a deformation section can be set on the circuit board in the sampling component. For example, the circuit board is divided into a first section and a second section. Specifically, the first segment is extended and shaped along the first direction, the sampling pin is arranged on the first segment, and at least part of the second segment is arranged to intersect with the first segment.

In such a sampling assembly, due to the intersection arrangement of at least part of the second segment and the first segment, at least part of the second segment intersects with the first direction, so that the second segment has a deformation margin in the first direction , the deformation margin can support the deformation of the second segment in the first direction. That is, when multiple battery cells arranged side by side in the first direction are subjected to vibration and impact, the second segment in the circuit board can deform to absorb part of the vibration and impact, improving the impact of vibration and impact on the first segment and the first segment. The influence of the sampling pin of the segment is ensured to ensure the stability of the relative position between the first segment and the sampling pin, and the stability of the relative position of the sampling pin and the battery cell, thereby improving the reliability of the sampling component. And improve the stability of battery sampling.
