1. A connection assembly for a battery module, comprising:
a housing body, the housing body being used for supporting a plurality of components;
a cover plate, the cover plate being adapted to cover the housing body and used for covering the plurality of components on the housing body, and the cover plate being provided with a second through-hole, the second through-hole positionally corresponding to at least one of the plurality of components;
a temperature sensor, the temperature sensor being supported on the housing body for sensing the temperature of a cell, the position of the temperature sensor being aligned with the position of the second through-hole;
the housing body is provided with a first through-hole, the first through-hole being arranged to pass through the housing body, and to correspond to the second through-hole; the temperature sensor is at least partially located in the first through-hole to sense the temperature of the cell; and
an openable and closable door, the openable and closable door being movably mounted on the cover plate, and being positionally changeable between an open position and a closed position,
wherein in the open position, the openable and closable door opens the second through-hole to expose the at least one of the plurality of components; and
in the closed position, the openable and closable door shields at least part of the second through-hole to cover the at least one of the plurality of components on the housing body.
