Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of lithium-ion batteries, and more particularly, to a lithium-ion battery cover plate, a battery, and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries, especially button-type structures, adopt a combination riveting structure of upper and lower half shells similar to primary button / button batteries. Currently, many domestic manufacturers have switched to developing a "cover plate + shell" combined welding structure, which includes traditional riveting structures, laminated adhesive structures, etc. For traditional riveting seal structures, considering structural strength and sealing reliability, a relatively large thickness must be set; in traditional riveting cover plates, the compression ratio of the sealing ring gradually decreases during use due to temperature aging and other reasons, resulting in a decline in sealing effect and reliability; in laminated adhesive structures, the adhesive layer serves as both a sealing adhesive and a structural adhesive. To reduce the thickness of the structure, the adhesive layer is generally set relatively thin, but it is difficult to ensure sufficient adhesive strength.

[0003] In addition, in order to set PTC (current temperature control device), CID (current interruption device), and VENT (pressure relief and explosion-proof device) in traditional large battery riveting cover plates, sufficient height space must be sacrificed. In micro-miniature battery structures, due to space limitations, it is difficult to set one or more of them, making it difficult to fully ensure the safety performance of the battery.

[0035] The technical solution of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 , which is a schematic structural diagram of the battery 1 shown in an embodiment of the present application.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 2 , which is a schematic structural diagram of the lithium-ion battery cover plate 11 shown in an embodiment of the present application. A lithium-ion battery cover plate 11 includes: a first end plate 100, a first adhesive layer 200, a substrate 300, a second adhesive layer 400, a second end plate 500, and a conductor 600. The first adhesive layer 200 is arranged on the lower surface of the first end plate 100; the substrate 300 is arranged on the lower surface of the first adhesive layer 200; the second adhesive layer 400 is arranged on the lower surface of the substrate 300; the second end plate 500 is arranged on the lower surface of the second adhesive layer 400; the first adhesive layer 200 and the substrate 300 and the second adhesive layer 400 are all annular structures to form a buffer cavity 700, and the conductor 600 is arranged in the buffer cavity 700.

[0038] In one embodiment, a pressure relief and explosion-proof groove 510 is further arranged on the upper surface of the second end plate 500. The pressure relief and explosion-proof groove 510 is located at the bottom of the buffer cavity 700. The pressure relief and explosion-proof groove 510 is an annular structure, and the outer diameter of the pressure relief and explosion-proof groove 510 is greater than the outer diameter of the conductor 600, and the inner diameter of the pressure relief and explosion-proof groove 510 is smaller than the inner diameter of the second adhesive layer 400.

[0039] Among them, the material of the first end plate 100 can be metals and their alloys such as aluminum, iron, nickel, etc., and the processing method can be stamping, machining, powder metallurgy, etc. In one embodiment, the material of the first end plate 100 is preferably a stainless steel iron-based alloy material with relatively high strength and stiffness, and is formed by stamping and machining to ensure the overall structural strength and stability of the lithium-ion battery cover plate 11. The surface of the first end plate 100 can be treated according to the size, use, and adhesive material of the battery 1 to improve the adhesive bonding performance.

[0040] The material of the first adhesive layer 200 can be non-metallic adhesive materials such as epoxy resin, polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), acrylic acid, etc., and the processing method can be lamination, screen printing, etc. The first adhesive layer 200 is used to connect the first end plate 100 and the substrate 300, providing sufficient connection strength, sealing performance, and insulation. In one embodiment, the material of the first adhesive layer 200 is preferably a single-component polypropylene (PP) semi-solid adhesive film, which is formed by die-cutting.

[0041] The material of the substrate 300 can be metals and their alloys such as aluminum, iron, nickel, etc., and the processing method can be stamping, machining, powder metallurgy, etc. In one embodiment, the material of the substrate 300 is preferably a stainless steel iron-based alloy material with high strength and stiffness, which is formed by stamping and machining to ensure the overall structural strength and stability of the lithium-ion battery cover plate 11. The surface of the substrate 300 can be treated according to the size, use, and adhesive material of the battery 1 to improve the adhesive bonding performance.

[0042] The material of the second adhesive layer 400 can be non-metallic adhesive materials such as epoxy resin, PP, PE, acrylic acid, etc., and the processing method can be lamination, screen printing, etc. The second adhesive layer 400 is used to connect the substrate 300 and the second end plate 500, providing sufficient connection strength, sealing performance, and insulation. In one embodiment, the material of the second adhesive layer 400 is preferably an epoxy resin semi-solid adhesive film, which is formed by die-cutting.

[0043] The material of the second end plate 500 can be metals and their alloys such as aluminum, iron, nickel, etc., and the processing method can be stamping, machining, powder metallurgy, etc. In one embodiment, the material of the second end plate 500 is preferably aluminum or aluminum alloy with moderate strength and stiffness, which is convenient for the manufacturing and pressure relief action of the pressure relief and explosion-proof groove 510 on the second end plate 500. The second end plate 500 is formed by stamping and machining. The surface of the second end plate 500 can be treated according to the size, use, and adhesive material of the battery 1 to improve the adhesive bonding performance.

[0044] The conductor 600 can be made of PTC functional material (Positive Temperature Coefficient, abbreviated as PTC, that is, positive temperature coefficient, generally referring to semiconductor materials or components with a very large positive temperature coefficient). Its material can be metals and their alloys such as aluminum, iron, copper, nickel, etc., or non-PCT functional conductive metal materials such as aluminum, iron, copper, nickel, etc. Its shape can be in the form of a shrapnel structure, and it elastically contacts the first end plate 100 and the second end plate 500 by its own elasticity. The processing method of the conductor 600 can be stamping, machining forming, etc. The main function of the conductor 600 is to electrically connect the first end plate 100 and the second end plate 500, which is the necessary path for the current of the battery 1. When the temperature rises during large current discharge such as short circuit of the battery 1, the conductor 600 can rapidly increase its internal resistance to prevent the battery 1 from continuously discharging with large current. In one embodiment, the material of the conductor 600 is preferably PTC functional material, and it is formed by stamping and machining.

[0045] In one embodiment, the working principle of the battery 1: Under normal charge and discharge conditions of the battery 1, the current sequentially passes through the tab 14, the edge of the lower surface of the second end plate 500, the central part of the second end plate 500, the conductor 600, and the first end plate 100.

[0046] In one embodiment, the electrolyte blocking principle: A buffer cavity 700 that can buffer a small amount of electrolyte is provided between the bonded and sealed areas of the first end plate 100, the substrate 300, and the second end plate 500. The buffer cavity 700 can be a cavity or filled with a foaming material or asbestos material that can adsorb a small amount of electrolyte. When the battery 1 fails after long-term use, a small amount of electrolyte leaks along the bonded and sealed path inside the lithium-ion battery cover 11. The small amount of electrolyte can be buffered in the buffer cavity 700 to prevent further leakage of the electrolyte, making the sealing structure of the lithium-ion battery cover 11 more durable and reliable.

[0047] In one embodiment, the pressure relief, explosion-proof and current blocking principle: When the internal pressure of the battery 1 rises, the pressure pushes the central part of the pressure relief and explosion-proof groove 510 on the second end plate 500 to deform outward. When the internal pressure rises to the strength threshold of the pressure relief and explosion-proof groove 510, the second end plate 500 breaks at the pressure relief and explosion-proof groove 510. At this time, the central part of the pressure relief and explosion-proof groove 510, the conductor 600, and the first end plate 100 as a whole fall off outward, forming an exhaust channel from the inside to the outside of the battery 1. When the battery 1 undergoes a pressure relief and explosion-proof action, the central part of the second end plate 500 breaks and separates at the pressure relief and explosion-proof groove 510, blocking the current channel from the inside to the outside of the battery 1 and preventing dangers such as combustion and explosion during continued charge and discharge when the battery 1 is abnormally used.

[0048] In one embodiment, when the conductor 600 selects a PTC functional material, the working principle of current temperature control is as follows: When the battery 1 undergoes large current charging and discharging beyond the normal operating range, the overall temperature of the battery 1 will rise abnormally. When the temperature of the conductor 600 rises to the threshold value, the resistance of the conductor 600 will increase rapidly, thereby effectively suppressing the continued sharp rise in the temperature of the battery 1, rapidly reducing the loop current of the battery 1, and effectively suppressing the dangers such as combustion and explosion of the battery 1 caused by excessive temperature.

[0049] In one embodiment, the inner diameters of the first adhesive layer 200, the substrate 300, and the second adhesive layer 400 are all equal, and the inner diameter of the second adhesive layer 400 is greater than the outer diameter of the conductor 600. In the lithium-ion battery cover plate 11 of this embodiment, the substrate 300 is used as the main supporting structure, and the first adhesive layer 200 and the second adhesive layer 400 with equal inner diameters are used to adhesively bond the first end plate 100 and the second end plate 500. While ensuring reliable sealing performance, this structure can provide higher structural strength and stability than a single-sided adhesive bonding structure.

[0050] In one embodiment, the outer diameters of the first adhesive layer 200 and the second adhesive layer 400 are equal, and the outer diameter of the second adhesive layer 400 is smaller than the outer diameter of the substrate 300. In the lithium-ion battery cover plate 11 of this embodiment, the first adhesive layer 200 and the second adhesive layer 400 with equal outer diameters are used for double-sided adhesive bonding and sealing of the first end plate 100 and the second end plate 500, which has more reliable sealing performance than the traditional single-sided adhesive bonding and sealing method.

[0051] In one embodiment, the axes of the first adhesive layer 200, the substrate 300, and the second adhesive layer 400 coincide.

[0052] In one embodiment, the shapes and structures of the first end plate 100 and the second end plate 500 are the same, and the axes of the first end plate 100 and the second end plate 500 coincide. Through such a structure, the strength and stability of the overall structure of the lithium-ion battery cover plate 11 can be ensured.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 3 , which is a schematic flow chart of the manufacturing method of the battery cover plate shown in an embodiment of the present application. A manufacturing method of a battery cover plate for manufacturing the lithium-ion battery cover plate 11 as shown in Figure 1 is as follows. The specific steps include:

[0054] Step S210: Dispose the first adhesive layer 200 on the first end plate 100.

[0055] The first end plate 100 made of stainless steel iron-based alloy is stamped and machined to form a circular first end plate 100. The first adhesive layer 200 made of polypropylene adhesive material is uniformly coated on the surface of the first end plate 100, and the middle of the first adhesive layer 200 is made to be an annulus during coating.

[0056] Step S220: Cover the substrate 300 on the first adhesive layer 200, where both the substrate 300 and the first adhesive layer 200 are annular structures.

[0057] Pre-stamp and process the substrate 300 made of stainless steel iron-based alloy into an annular substrate 300 with an annular structure in the middle, and the inner diameter of the substrate 300 is equal to the inner diameter of the first adhesive layer 200. Cover the annular substrate 300 on the first adhesive layer 200, and gently tap it to make the surface of the substrate 300 fully contact with the first adhesive layer 200.

[0058] Step S230: Perform thermal gluing treatment and cooling treatment on the first end plate 100, the first adhesive layer 200, and the substrate 300 to fix the first end plate 100, the first adhesive layer 200, and the substrate 300.

[0059] Under certain temperature and pressure conditions, perform thermal gluing treatment on the first end plate 100, the first adhesive layer 200, and the substrate 300. The temperature, pressure, and thermal gluing treatment time can be determined according to specific process requirements and the material of the first adhesive layer 200. After the thermal gluing treatment is completed, perform cooling to make the first end plate 100, the first adhesive layer 200, and the substrate 300 fully fixed by gluing. The cooling time and temperature are determined according to specific process requirements.

[0060] Step S240: Set the second adhesive layer 400 on the second end plate 500, and the second adhesive layer 400 is an annular structure.

[0061] Adopt the same method as setting the first adhesive layer 200 on the first end plate 100 to evenly coat the second adhesive layer 400 made of epoxy resin material on the surface of the second end plate 500, and make the middle of the second adhesive layer 400 annular when coating. During manufacturing, ensure that the axes of the first adhesive layer 200, the substrate 300, and the second adhesive layer 400 coincide.

[0062] Step S250: Place the conductor 600 into the hollow part between the substrate 300 and the first adhesive layer 200.

[0063] Place the conductor 600 made of ceramic composite material into the buffer cavity 700 formed by the hollow part between the substrate 300 and the first adhesive layer 200.

[0064] Step S260: Cover the second end plate 500 provided with the second adhesive layer 400 on the conductor 600.

[0065] The second end plate 500 made of aluminum alloy is pre-stamped and machined into a circular structure with the same shape and structure as the first end plate 100. The middle parts of the first adhesive layer 200 and the second adhesive layer 400 are both annular structures, which can accommodate the conductor 600. Cover the second end plate 500 provided with the second adhesive layer 400 on the conductor 600, align the axes of the second end plate 500 and the first end plate 100 vertically, and ensure the stability of the overall structure.

[0066] Step S270: Perform heat gluing treatment and cooling treatment on the second end plate 500, the second adhesive layer 400 and the substrate 300 to fix the second end plate 500, the second adhesive layer 400 and the substrate 300.

[0067] Using the same method as in step S230, under certain temperature and pressure conditions, perform heat gluing treatment on the second end plate 500, the second adhesive layer 400 and the substrate 300. The temperature, pressure and heat gluing treatment time can be determined according to specific process requirements and the material of the second adhesive layer 400. After the heat gluing treatment is completed, perform cooling to fully fix and bond the second end plate 500, the second adhesive layer 400 and the substrate 300. The cooling time and temperature are determined according to specific process requirements.

[0068] Perform fine grinding on the overall structure of the cooled lithium-ion battery cover plate 11 so that the inner diameters of the first adhesive layer 200, the substrate 300 and the second adhesive layer 400 are equal. At the same time, process and grind the first adhesive layer 200 and the second adhesive layer 400 so that the outer diameters of the first adhesive layer 200 and the second adhesive layer 400 are equal, and the outer diameter of the second adhesive layer 400 is smaller than the outer diameter of the substrate 300, and the inner diameter of the second adhesive layer 400 is larger than the outer diameter of the conductor 600.

[0069] Step S280: Weld the two ends of the conductor 600 to the first end plate 100 and the second end plate 500 respectively.

[0070] After the heat gluing treatment, the conductor 600 is wrapped inside the first end plate 100 and the second end plate 500. By means of laser welding, resistance welding or ultrasonic welding, one end of the conductor 600 is welded to the surface of the first end plate 100, and the other end of the conductor 600 is welded to the surface of the second end plate 500, so that the conductor 600 is electrically connected to the first end plate 100 and the second end plate 500, thereby forming a necessary path for the current of the battery 1. During welding, it is necessary to ensure that the first end plate 100 and the second end plate 500 are vertically aligned and there is as little misalignment as possible.

[0071] The selection of different thicknesses and materials for each structure in the lithium-ion battery cover plate 11 is related to the overall strength, stiffness, sealing performance, pressure relief and explosion-proof pressure and other characteristics of the lithium-ion battery cover plate 11. In one embodiment, according to the actual manufacturing process requirements of the lithium-ion battery cover plate 11, the thickness ranges of the various structures in the lithium-ion battery cover plate 11 can be as follows:

[0072] The thickness of the first end plate 100 < 0.2 mm;

[0073] The thickness of the first adhesive layer 200 < 0.2 mm;

[0074] The thickness of the substrate 300 < 0.5 mm;

[0075] The thickness of the second adhesive layer 400 < 0.2 mm;

[0076] The thickness of the second end plate 500 < 0.2 mm;

[0077] The thickness of the conductor 600 < 1 mm;

[0078] The overall thickness of the lithium-ion battery cover plate 11 < 1 mm.

[0079] Stack and assemble the various structures in the lithium-ion battery cover plate 11 according to the above steps. The stacking and assembly relationship is related to the hot pressing process and also to the process requirements for manufacturing the lithium-ion battery cover plate 11. A single-piece hot pressing process can be selected, which is convenient for automated production, reduces the hot pressing time, and thus improves the manufacturing efficiency; a multi-piece hot pressing process can also be selected, which increases the hot pressing time, improves the bonding strength and the sealing durability of the lithium-ion battery cover plate 11, and at the same time ensures the manufacturing efficiency.

[0080] The lithium-ion battery cover plate 11 manufactured by the above method, when combined with the housing 12 to form the battery 1, can provide functions such as current temperature control, current interruption, and pressure relief and explosion prevention, making the battery 1 have higher safety performance during use.

[0081] It should be noted that, without conflict, the features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other.

[0082] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application and are not used to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can have various changes and modifications. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
