[0038] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.
[0039] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a three-dimensional structure of a battery according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an exploded structure of a battery according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a partially exploded structure of a battery according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a partial cross-sectional structure of a battery according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figures 1-4 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, a battery 1 is provided, including: a cell assembly 11, wherein the two ends of the cell assembly 11 are respectively provided with a positive electrode and a negative electrode; a shell 12, wherein the two ends of the shell 12 are respectively formed as an open end 121 and a rolled edge stop end 122, the cell assembly 11 extends into the shell 12 from the open end 121 and the negative end is limited and stopped at the rolled edge stop end 122; a negative electrode connecting piece 13, which covers the open end 121, and the negative electrode connecting piece 13 is a conductive piece 113 and is electrically connected to the negative electrode and the shell 12 part of the open end 121 through laser welding points.
[0040] Since the two ends of the shell 12 are respectively an open end 121 and a rolled edge stop end 122, the battery cell assembly 11 can be extended into the shell 12 from the open end 121, so that the positive pole of the battery cell assembly 11 faces the rolled edge stop end 122 and the negative pole faces the open end 121, and the battery cell assembly 11 is limited under the action of the rolled edge stop end 122, and the negative pole is covered on the open end 121 by the negative electrode connecting piece 13, so that the surface of the negative electrode connecting piece 13 is fitted with the negative electrode, and laser welding is performed to form a laser welding point between the negative electrode and the negative electrode connecting piece 13. Since the negative electrode connecting piece 13 is a conductive piece 113, electrical conduction between the battery cell assembly 11 and the negative electrode connecting piece 13 can be achieved. The edge of the negative electrode connecting piece 13 is fitted with the inner wall of the open end 121 and laser welded, thereby forming a laser weld point between the negative electrode connecting piece 13 and the shell 12. Since electrical conduction is formed between the negative electrode connecting piece 13 and the battery cell assembly 11, electrical conduction can be formed between the negative electrode connecting piece 13 and the shell 12, thereby forming a negative electrode with negative charge in the shell 12, that is, the rolled edge stop end 122 is a negative electrode with negative charge, so that the positive and negative poles of the battery are located on the same side.
[0041] In an embodiment of the present invention, a through hole is provided in the middle of the rolled stop end 122, and the size of the through hole is smaller than the size of the battery cell assembly 11, so as to stop and limit the battery cell assembly 11. At the same time, the positive pole of the external module bus can be electrically connected to the positive pole of the battery cell assembly 11 under the action of the through hole, and then the negative pole of the external module bus can be electrically connected to the rolled stop end 122, so as to realize electrical conduction between the module bus and the battery 1. Compared with the battery in the prior art in which the positive and negative poles are located at both ends, the battery 1 of the present invention is more conducive to the design and welding of the external module bus.
[0042] In an embodiment of the present invention, the negative electrode of the battery cell assembly 11 is laser welded to the negative electrode connecting piece 13, and the negative electrode connecting piece 13 is laser welded to the shell 12 at the open end 121, so that a laser weld point can be formed between the negative electrode of the battery cell assembly 11 and the negative electrode connecting piece 13, and a laser weld point can be formed between the negative electrode connecting piece 13 and the shell 12. Compared with the resistance welding method in the prior art, the laser weld point of the present invention can make the contact area between the battery cell assembly 11, the negative electrode connecting piece 13 and the shell 12 larger, thereby improving the current flow capacity from the negative electrode of the battery cell assembly 11 to the shell 12, and improving the rate performance of the battery cell assembly 11.
[0043] In the embodiment of the present invention, the battery cell assembly 11 and the housing 12 are both cylindrical, and the negative electrode connecting piece 13 is made of any one of copper, iron, and aluminum.
[0044] In the embodiment of the present invention, the open end 121 is provided with a lip 123 that abuts against the negative electrode, and the edge of the negative electrode connecting piece 13 is bent to form a step 131 that fits with the lip 123 .
[0045] By providing a lip 123 at the open end 121 and bending the edge of the negative electrode connecting piece 13 to form a step 131 that fits the lip 123, when laser welding the negative electrode connecting piece 13 and the shell 12 portion at the open end 121, the step 131 fits on the lip 123 and forms a positioning function. In addition, the step 131 and the lip 123 can also be laser welded, thereby increasing the welding area between the negative electrode connecting piece 13 and the shell 12, which is more conducive to laser welding between the negative electrode connecting piece 13 and the shell 12.
[0046] In an embodiment of the present invention, the battery cell assembly 11 includes a positive electrode cover 111 fixed on the positive electrode, and a conductive sheet 113 electrically connected to the battery cell 112 is provided on the positive electrode cover 111; the battery 1 includes an insulating gasket 14 arranged between the positive electrode cover 111 and the rolled edge stop end 122, and the insulating gasket 14 is provided with a through hole for the conductive sheet 113 to pass through.
[0047] By setting the positive electrode cover 111 on the positive electrode of the battery cell 112 and setting a conductive sheet 113 electrically connected to the battery cell 112 on the positive electrode cover 111, electrical conduction between the positive electrode of the battery cell 112 and the conductive sheet 113 is achieved. When the external bus module needs to be electrically connected to the battery 1, the positive electrode of the external bus module can be welded to the conductive sheet 113, which is more conducive to welding the external bus module and the positive electrode of the battery 1.
[0048] By disposing an insulating gasket between the positive electrode cover plate 111 and the rolled edge stop end 122, the positive electrode of the cell assembly 11 is insulated from the housing 12 by the insulating gasket, preventing the positive electrode of the cell assembly 11 from contacting the housing 12 and causing a short circuit. A through hole is provided in the insulating gasket for the conductive sheet 113 to pass through, so that the conductive sheet 113 is exposed to the housing 12 through the through hole in the insulating gasket. That is, the conductive sheet 113 extends from the through hole in the middle of the rolled edge stop end 122, facilitating welding of the external busbar module to the conductive sheet 113.
[0049] It can be understood that the positive electrode cover plate 111 is filled with insulating material, so that the position where the positive electrode cover plate 111 and the rolled edge stop end 122 are welded is insulated from the position of the conductive sheet 113, thereby avoiding a short circuit between the positive electrode cover plate 111 and the shell 12 due to electrical conduction.
[0050] In an embodiment of the present invention, the positive electrode cover plate 111 and the battery cell 112 are laser welded, forming a laser weld point between the positive electrode cover plate 111 and the battery cell 112, thereby achieving electrical conduction between the positive electrode cover plate 111 and the positive electrode of the battery cell 112. The portion of the positive electrode cover plate 111 exposed outside the housing 12 is sealed and snapped into the through hole in the middle of the rolled edge stopper end 122, thereby securing the battery cell assembly 11 within the housing 12 and preventing the battery cell assembly 11 from shaking relative to the housing 12.
[0051] In an embodiment of the present invention, the battery 1 includes a negative electrode cover 15 attached to the surface of the negative electrode connecting piece 13, and the negative electrode cover 15 seals the open end 121. The negative electrode cover 15 is made of insulating materials such as plastic and rubber. The negative electrode cover 15 is attached to the surface of the negative electrode connecting piece 13, and the open end 121 is sealed by the negative electrode cover 15, so that the structural strength of the assembly between the battery cell assembly 11 and the shell 12 is further strengthened under the action of the negative electrode cover 15, and the battery cell assembly 11 is prevented from shaking in the shell 12. At the same time, the open end 121 can also be sealed under the action of the negative electrode cover 15 to prevent dust and debris from entering the shell 12 from the open end 121 and affecting the performance of the battery 1.
[0052] In an embodiment of the present invention, the battery 1 includes a sealing member 16. The positive electrode of the battery cell assembly 11 is provided with an injection hole 114. The sealing member 16 is fixed to and sealed on the surface of the injection hole 114. By providing the injection hole 114 on the positive electrode of the battery cell assembly 11, electrolyte can be injected into the interior of the battery cell assembly 11 through the injection hole 114 to decompose electrons. The sealing member 16 is provided to cover the surface of the injection hole 114 to seal the injection hole 114 and prevent the electrolyte from flowing out of the injection hole 114.
[0053] It can be understood that the sealing member 16 is an aluminum nail and is fixed to the surface of the liquid injection hole 114 by welding, thereby improving the sealing performance of the sealing member 16 in sealing the liquid injection hole 114 .
[0054] Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of the steps of a battery assembly process according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, a battery assembly process is further provided for assembling the above-mentioned battery 1. The battery assembly process includes:
[0055] Step S1: inserting the battery cell assembly 11 into the housing 12 from the opening end 121 , with the positive end of the battery cell assembly 11 located at the rolling stop end 122 and the negative end of the battery cell assembly 11 located at the opening end 121 ;
[0056] Step S2: Laminating the negative electrode connecting piece 13 to the negative electrode and performing laser welding;
[0057] Step S3: Cover the negative electrode connecting piece 13 on the open end 121 and perform laser welding.
[0058] The battery cell assembly 11 is first inserted into the housing 12 from the open end 121, with the positive end of the battery cell assembly 11 located at the rolled edge stop end 122, and the negative end of the battery cell assembly 11 located at the open end 121, so that the battery cell assembly 11 is limited by the rolled edge stop end 122. Furthermore, the surface of the negative electrode connecting tab 13 is bonded to the negative electrode, and laser welding is performed to form a laser weld point between the negative electrode and the negative electrode connecting tab 13, thereby achieving electrical conduction between the battery cell assembly 11 and the negative electrode connecting tab 13. Finally, the negative electrode connecting piece 13 is covered on the open end 121 and laser welded, that is, the edge of the negative electrode connecting piece 13 is fitted with the inner wall of the open end 121 and laser welded, thereby forming a laser welding point between the negative electrode connecting piece 13 and the shell 12, realizing electrical conduction between the negative electrode connecting piece 13 and the shell 12, and then making the shell 12 form a negative electrode with negative charge, that is, making the rolled edge stop end 122 a negative electrode with negative charge.
[0059] The battery 1 obtained by the battery assembly process of the present invention is more conducive to the design and welding of the external module bus compared to the battery 1 in the prior art in which the positive and negative electrodes are located at both ends, and the laser welding point of the present invention can make the contact area between the battery cell assembly 11, the negative electrode connecting piece 13 and the shell 12 larger, thereby improving the flow capacity from the negative electrode of the battery cell assembly 11 to the shell 12 and improving the rate performance of the battery cell assembly 11.
[0060] In an embodiment of the present invention, before the step of covering the negative electrode connecting tab 13 on the open end 121 and performing laser welding, the following steps are further included:
[0061] Step S301 : rolling the open end 121 to form a lip 123 on the open end 121 to abut against the periphery of the negative electrode; and bending the edge of the negative electrode connecting piece 13 to form a step 131 that fits with the lip 123 .
[0062] Before the negative electrode connecting piece 13 is covered on the open end 121 and laser welded, the open end 121 is rolled and a lip 123 is formed at the open end 121 to abut against the negative electrode to limit the battery cell assembly 11. The edge of the negative electrode connecting piece 13 is bent out of the step 131 that fits the lip 123. Therefore, when the negative electrode connecting piece 13 and the shell 12 portion of the open end 121 are laser welded, the step 131 fits on the lip 123 and forms a positioning effect. In addition, the step 131 and the lip 123 can be laser welded, thereby increasing the welding area between the negative electrode connecting piece 13 and the shell 12, which is more conducive to laser welding between the negative electrode connecting piece 13 and the shell 12.
[0063] Figure 6 This is a flowchart of the steps before step S2 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, before the step of inserting the battery cell assembly 11 into the housing 12 from the open end 121, the following steps are further included:
[0064] Step S201: attaching the positive electrode cover 111 to the positive electrode and performing laser welding to form a battery cell assembly 11;
[0065] Step S202 : insert the insulating gasket 14 into the housing 12 from the open end 121 and fit it with the rolled edge stop end 122 , so that the conductive sheet 113 on the positive electrode cover 111 passes through the insulating gasket 14 and is exposed outside the housing 12 .
[0066] Before inserting the cell assembly 11 into the housing 12 from the open end 121, the positive electrode cover 111 is first attached to the positive electrode of the cell 112 and laser welded to form the cell assembly 11. Since the positive electrode cover 111 is provided with a conductive sheet 113 electrically connected to the cell 112, electrical conduction between the positive electrode of the cell 112 and the conductive sheet 113 can be achieved. Then, the insulating gasket is inserted into the housing 12 from the open end 121 and attached to the rolled edge stopper end 122, so that the conductive sheet 113 on the positive electrode cover 111 passes through the insulating gasket 14 and is exposed to the housing 12. The positive electrode of the cell assembly 11 and the housing 12 are insulated by the insulating gasket, preventing the positive electrode of the cell assembly 11 from contacting the housing 12 and causing a short circuit. A through hole is opened on the insulating gasket for the conductive sheet 113 to pass through, so that the conductive sheet 113 is exposed to the shell 12 through the through hole on the insulating gasket. That is, the conductive sheet 113 extends from the through hole in the middle of the rolled edge stop end 122, which facilitates welding of the external bus module and the conductive sheet 113.
[0067] In an embodiment of the present invention, after the step of inserting the battery cell assembly 11 into the housing 12 from the open end 121 of the housing 12, the method further includes:
[0068] Step S11 : laser welding the positive electrode cover plate 111 and the rolled edge stopper end 122 and sealing the rolled edge stopper end 122 .
[0069] By laser welding the positive electrode cover 111 and the rolled edge stop end 122, the structural stability of the battery cell assembly 11 in the shell 12 can be further improved, and the battery cell assembly 11 can be prevented from shaking relative to the shell 12. At the same time, the through hole of the rolled edge stop end 122 is sealed by laser welding to prevent dust and debris from entering the shell 12 through the rolled edge stop end 122 and affecting the performance of the battery 1.
[0070] Figure 7 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of further steps of a battery assembly process according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the battery assembly process further includes:
[0071] Step S4: injecting electrolyte into the injection hole 114 of the positive electrode;
[0072] Step S5: Cover the liquid injection hole 114 with the sealing member 16;
[0073] Step S6: laser welding the seal 16 and the battery cell assembly 11 .
[0074] Since the positive electrode of the battery cell assembly 11 is provided with an injection hole 114, electrolyte can be injected into the interior of the battery cell assembly 11 through the injection hole 114, so that the electrolyte can decompose electrons. Then, a sealing member 16 that can cover the surface of the injection hole 114 is provided to seal the injection hole 114 to prevent the electrolyte from flowing out of the injection hole 114. Finally, the sealing member 16 and the battery cell assembly 11 are laser welded to fix the sealing member 16 on the battery cell assembly 11, thereby improving the sealing performance of the sealing member 16 in sealing the injection hole 114.
[0075] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
