Embodiment 1

[0047] The following takes the series connection of two square aluminum shell single batteries as an example to introduce the cold connection method of the hard shell lithium battery pole and the connecting piece in this embodiment, including the following steps:

[0048] S1, providing incoming materials, including at least two metal casings 1 for prismatic lithium batteries and a metal connecting piece 3, the metal connecting piece 3 includes a connecting piece body 31 and two cladding parts 32;

[0049] S2, arrange two square lithium battery metal shells 1 side by side, arrange the two poles 29 (positive and negative poles) on the two metal shells 1 in a straight line, and then insert the two embedding grooves 320 on the metal connecting piece 3 On the poles 2 on two adjacent metal shells 1, the front and rear connecting surfaces 20 of the poles 2 are relatively embedded between the two inner walls of the groove 320; in this embodiment, the front and rear of the poles 2 A tr...

Embodiment 2

[0058] With the scheme of the first embodiment, although the protrusion 421 presses the first bending part 321 and the third bending part 323 and makes them concave, the concave part will rub against the surface of the pole 2, and the surface of the two parts will be removed. The oxide layer prevents the first bending portion 321 and the third bending portion 323 from being electrically disconnected from the pole 2 after the connection is completed. However, the inventor is still worried that the oxide layer at the contact between the pole 2 made of aluminum alloy or copper and the metal connection piece 3 is too thick, and the problem of electrical non-conduction occurs after the connection is completed. Therefore, the second embodiment has been further improved on the basis of the first embodiment, and the specific improvements are as follows:

[0059] The pole 2 and the metal connecting piece 3 are both made of aluminum alloy or copper; when the aluminum alloy is used, the ...

Embodiment 3

[0062] Adopting the scheme of the first embodiment, through the extrusion effect of the protrusion 421, it can ensure that the first bending part 321 and the third bending part 323 are riveted and fixed with the pole 2. There are still doubts about the electrical conductivity of the connecting piece 3, especially considering that hard-shell lithium batteries are often used in the vehicle environment, and long-term bumps and vibrations may cause poor contact between the pole 2 and the metal connecting piece 3 . Therefore, the third embodiment has been further improved on the basis of the first embodiment, and the specific improvements are as follows:

[0063] In the above S2, the metal shells 1 of the square lithium battery are first arranged side by side, and the poles 2 on each metal shell 1 are arranged in a straight line; ; Finally, the embedding groove 320 on the metal connecting piece 3 is embedded on the solder flakes 5 on the poles 2 on the two adjacent metal shells 1, ...

Abstract

The invention proposes a cold connection method for the pole of a hard-shell lithium battery and the connection piece. Through the cold connection structure of the battery pole and the connection piece, the fast plug-in production of the battery module is realized, and the efficiency is higher; Fasten the battery pole and the connecting piece by means of pressure to ensure reliable connection between the pole and the connecting piece, and reliable conduction; avoid the high welding cost, complicated welding process, difficult to detect welding defects, and welding problems caused by traditional laser welding and other thermal connection methods. It is difficult to eliminate slag pollution and other problems; by increasing the contact area between the battery pole and the connecting piece, the heat dissipation effect of the battery module during use can be improved; by using different positive and negative electrode plug-in structures, the positive and negative electrodes can be fool-proof and improve Production safety; this design is easy to rework and reduce costs. When reworking, just cut off or cut off the horizontal part of the connecting piece along the battery pole, and then take a new connecting piece to compress the lap again; the present invention especially It is suitable for lithium batteries under the condition of large monomer and high current.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of lithium batteries, in particular to a cold connection method for a hard shell lithium battery pole and a connecting piece. Background technique [0002] Lithium batteries are currently the most common battery for sustainable energy storage in commercial applications because of their high energy density and low production cost. A single lithium battery box contains dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of single cells. If the single cells are directly connected in series and parallel, it is not convenient for assembly and manufacturing, and it is not conducive to later maintenance. Therefore, in general, a battery box contains several modules, and different numbers of modules can form battery boxes of different specifications, which is convenient for mass production and modular manufacturing. A module generally refers to a battery assembly formed by connecting single batteries in series and parallel, insulating and f...
