Abstract
Description
Cylindrical battery and assembly method thereof Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of batteries, and in particular to a cylindrical battery and an assembly method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Currently, lithium-ion / sodium-ion cylindrical batteries are becoming mainstream products in the new energy industry due to their high energy density and good capacity consistency. Among them, the full-tab / collector plate structure is being selected by more and more manufacturers as the preferred direction for cylindrical battery structure. Common questions:
[0003] 1. Cylindrical power batteries usually have a top cover or shell bottom integrated at one end of the pole, and the other end can only be welded / fixed to the shell bottom by resistance welding through the center hole of the bare cell. However, resistance welding is prone to problems such as cold welding or the normal welding position may fall off during vehicle vibration. In addition, the small welding area of resistance welding leads to poor current capacity and cannot meet high-rate charge and discharge requirements.
[0004] 2. It is difficult to implement explosion-proof valve pressure relief for cylindrical power batteries because one end of the pole is too small to implement an explosion-proof valve, and the middle of the other end is fixed to the bottom of the shell by resistance welding, which also cannot be implemented. Therefore, it will bring safety problems.

The other end of the columnar body 11 extends into the second opening 13 to form a connecting portion 14. The connecting portion 14 is bent toward the first opening 12 to form an annular connecting surface 15. The annular connecting surface 15 is bent toward the axis of the columnar body 11 to form a bearing plane 16. The second current collecting disc 4 includes an outer edge portion 41 that overlaps the bearing plane 16 and is laser-welded to the bearing plane 16, and a protrusion 42 that protrudes toward the first opening 12. The protrusion 42 is laser-welded to the second full-pole tab.
[0030] Specifically, as shown in Figures 3 to 5, the shell 1 has a double-opening structure, the first opening 12 is provided at the upper end of the cylindrical battery 10, and the second opening 13 is provided at the lower end of the cylindrical battery 10.

As shown in Figures 6 and 8, a conventional connection method can be adopted between the columnar body 11 and the cover plate 5, such as sealing by rolling groove 17 or laser welding; as shown in Figure 10, the structure of the first collecting plate 3 can be a conventional structure, including a collecting plate body 31 and a bending portion 32 connected to the collecting plate body 31. The connection method between the first collecting plate 3 and the first full pole ear and the cover plate 5 can also adopt a conventional connection method. In the present application, the shell 1 is set as a double-opening structure, and a step-structured connecting portion 14, an annular connecting surface 15 and a bearing plane 16 are provided at the second opening 13. Since the bearing plane 16 has a certain area, laser penetration welding can be used to weld the outer edge 41 of the second current collecting disc 4 to the bearing plane 16, and laser penetration welding can be used to weld the raised portion 42 of the second current collecting disc 4 to the second full-pole ear, replacing the existing resistance welding method of the center hole of the bare battery cell. The welding is more firm and effectively meets the requirements of high-rate charging and discharging of cylindrical power batteries.

Specifically, the explosion-proof welding piece 6 is circular, and an explosion-proof portion 61 is provided on the explosion-proof welding piece 6 to achieve explosion-proof pressure relief.

Of course, for cylindrical batteries 10 of different sizes, the sizes of the connecting portion 14, the annular connecting surface 15 and the bearing plane 16 may vary accordingly, and can be designed according to actual needs.

As shown in Figure 9, there are specifically three raised portions 42, and the three raised portions 42 are evenly distributed on the second collecting disc 4.
[0035] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 10 , the embodiment of the present application further provides an assembly method of a cylindrical battery 10 , the assembly method comprising:
[0036] S1. Provide a shell 1, which includes a columnar body 11. The columnar body 11 has a hollow structure and both ends of the columnar body 11 are open structures. One end of the columnar body is provided with a first opening 12, and the other end of the columnar body 11 is provided with a second opening 13. The other end of the columnar body 11 extends into the second opening 13 to form a connecting portion 14. The connecting portion 14 is bent toward the first opening 12 and forms an annular connecting surface 15. The annular connecting surface 15 is bent toward the axial direction of the columnar body 11 to form a bearing plane 16. For details, refer to Figures 3 to 5.
[0037] S2. Provide a second collecting disc 4, which includes an outer edge portion 41 overlapped on the bearing plane 16 and laser-welded to the bearing plane 16, and a protrusion 42 protruding toward the first opening 12. The outer edge portion 41 of the second collecting disc 4 is overlapped on the bearing plane 16 of the shell 1 and the outer edge portion 41 and the bearing plane 16 are laser-penetrated and welded. Specifically, referring to Figures 3, 4, 8 and 9, the second collecting disc 4 that cooperates with the bearing plane 16 and the annular connecting surface 15 is first overlapped on the bearing plane 16 and the outer edge portion 41 of the first collecting disc 3 is welded to the bearing plane 16 by laser-penetration welding.
[0038] S3. Provide a bare battery cell 2, wherein a first full-pole tab is provided at one end of the bare battery cell 2 and a second full-pole tab is provided at the other end of the bare battery cell 2, and the first full-pole tab of the bare battery cell 2 is connected to the first collecting plate 3; specifically, referring to Figures 8 and 10, the first collecting plate 3 includes a collecting plate main body 31 and a bending portion 32 connected to the collecting plate main body 31, and the first full-pole tab of the bare battery cell 2 is welded to the collecting plate main body 31. The specific connection process can adopt a conventional welding process.
[0039] S4. Install the bare cell 2 connected to the first current collecting disk 3 in the shell 1, and fix the bare cell 2 with a clamp so that the second full-pole tab of the bare cell 2 abuts against the raised portion 42 of the second current collecting disk 4, and weld the second full-pole tab to the raised portion 42 of the second current collecting disk 4 by laser penetration welding; specifically, referring to Figures 8 and 9, since the raised portion 42 protrudes toward the position of the bare cell 2, the bare cell 2 can contact the raised portion 42 to facilitate laser penetration welding.
[0040] S5. Provide a cover plate 5, which closes the first opening 12 and is welded to the first full tab. Specifically, as shown in Figures 1 and 8, the cover plate 5 closes the first opening 12 and is connected to the columnar body 11. The end of the columnar body 11 connected to the cover plate 5 is cylindrical when not connected to the cover plate 5. After the cover plate 5 is embedded in the columnar body 11 and welded to the bent portion 32 of the first full tab, the columnar body 11 is sealed with the cover plate 5 by forming a rolling groove 17.
[0041] In the embodiment of the present application, a shell 1 with a double-opening structure is designed, and a step-structured connecting portion 14, an annular connecting surface 15 and a bearing plane 16 are provided at the second opening 13. Since the bearing plane 16 has a certain area, laser penetration welding can be used to weld the outer edge 41 of the second current collecting disc 4 to the bearing plane 16, and laser penetration welding can be used to weld the raised portion 42 of the second current collecting disc 4 to the second full-pole tab, replacing the existing resistance welding method of the center hole of the bare battery cell. The welding is more firm and effectively meets the requirements of high-rate charging and discharging of cylindrical power batteries.
[0042] It should be noted that the order of step S2 and step S3 can be swapped, and step S3 can be performed first, and then step S2.
[0043] In the embodiment of the present application, step S3, before connecting the first full tab of the bare cell 2 to the first current collecting plate 3, further includes:
[0044] S031, winding the positive electrode sheet, the negative electrode sheet, and the separator disposed between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet to form a bare battery cell 2;
[0045] S032, flattening or patting one end of the bare battery cell 2 to form a first full-pole tab; specifically, the first full-pole tab can be the tab of the positive electrode sheet or the tab of the negative electrode sheet, for example, the first full-pole tab is the tab corresponding to the positive electrode sheet.
[0046] S033, flattening or tamping the other end of the bare cell 2 to form a second full tab. Specifically, when the first full tab is the tab corresponding to the positive electrode sheet, the second full tab is the tab corresponding to the negative electrode sheet.
[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, the thickness of the second collecting plate 4 in the axial direction of the columnar body 11 is less than the height of the annular connecting surface 15 in the axial direction of the columnar body 11. Step S5, after welding the cover plate 5 to the first full tab, further includes:
[0048] S61 , providing an explosion-proof welding piece 6 , which is disposed corresponding to the annular connecting surface 15 .
[0049] S62 , stacking the explosion-proof welding piece 6 on the outside of the second current collecting plate 4 ; specifically, as shown in FIG. 7 , the explosion-proof welding piece 6 is embedded and installed in the annular connecting surface 15 and is arranged above the second current collecting plate 4 .
[0050] S63, connecting the outer edge of the explosion-proof welding piece 6 to the annular connecting surface 15 by laser seam welding. Specifically, connecting the outer edge of the explosion-proof welding piece 6 to the annular connecting surface 15 by laser seam welding. The explosion-proof welding piece 6 is also used to close the second opening 13.
[0051] In the embodiment of the present application, in step S4, fixing the bare battery cell 2 with a clamp includes:
[0052] S41: Press the clamp against the first current collecting plate 3 to fix the bare cell 2. Since the bare cell 2 is first connected to the first current collecting plate 3, pressing the clamp against the first current collecting plate 3 can also prevent the clamp from damaging the first full tab of the bare cell 2.
[0053] In the embodiment of the present application, a liquid injection hole 51 is provided on the cover plate 5, and the liquid injection hole is connected to the middle hole of the bare battery cell 2. After the step S63 of connecting the outer edge of the explosion-proof welding piece 6 and the annular connecting surface 15 by laser seam welding, the following steps are also included:
[0054] S71, injecting liquid into the bare battery cell 2 through the liquid injection hole 51;
[0055] S72, after the liquid injection is completed, the liquid injection hole 51 is sealed by a steel ball, UV glue or sealing nail.
[0056] This application provides a dual-opening structure for the housing 1, and provides a stepped connection portion 14, an annular connection surface 15, and a bearing surface 16 at the second opening 13. Since the bearing surface 16 has a certain area, laser penetration welding can be used to weld the outer edge 41 of the second current collecting plate 4 to the bearing surface 16, and the raised portion 42 of the second current collecting plate 4 to the second full-electrode tab. This replaces the existing resistance welding method of the center hole of the bare battery cell, resulting in a more secure weld and effectively meeting the high-rate charge and discharge requirements of cylindrical power batteries. Furthermore, the provision of the annular connection surface 15 allows for the installation of an explosion-proof welding piece 6 at the bottom of the cylindrical battery 10, effectively improving the safety of the cylindrical power battery. This design is very ingenious. At the same time, the bottom of the shell 1 has an annular plane feature of an integrally formed connecting part 14, an annular connecting surface 15 and a bearing plane 16. The thickness / strength of the bending part connected to the shell 1 is much greater than that of laser welding. When facing the impact caused by long-term vibration when loading large batteries, it is not easy to have problems such as failure / leakage, and the reliability of the battery structure is higher; the bearing plane 16 at the bottom of the shell 1 is welded to the second collecting disk 4, which can ensure a larger welding flow area, and the connecting part 14, annular connecting surface 15 and bearing plane 16 of the shell 1 can directly perform strong radial limitation on the second collecting disk 4 to reduce radial impact caused by vibration; when the bare battery cell 2 is axially impacted by the vibration of the cylindrical battery loading, the explosion-proof valve plate 6 at the bottom can avoid direct impact, that is, the second collecting disk 4 plays a buffering role, thereby extending the battery life.
[0057] The above disclosure is only a preferred example of the present application, and certainly cannot be used to limit the scope of rights of the present application. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the scope of the patent application of the present application still fall within the scope covered by the present application.
