In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.

[0043] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0044] A current collecting component includes a main structure 1 and an extraction structure 2 for extracting current, the main structure 1 is arranged at one end of the length direction of an electrode assembly 100, the main structure 1 is parallel or approximately parallel to a side surface 101 of the electrode assembly, and extends along the width direction of the electrode assembly 100, the main structure 1 is vertically or approximately vertically arranged relative to the extraction structure 2 in a direction away from a cover plate assembly 103, at least one end of the main structure 1 in the width direction is provided with a wing structure 3, the wing structure 3 includes at least two wing blades 31 connected to the main structure 1, the pole ear portion 102 is connected to the wing blade 31, and the wing blade 31 can drive the pole ear portion 102 to bend toward the side of the main structure 1 away from the electrode assembly 100.

[0045] In this embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 The coordinates are expressed in the length and width directions of the main structure 1. Fig. 9 The middle coordinates represent the length and width directions of the electrode assembly 100. In this embodiment, at least one end of the width direction of the main structure 1 is provided with a wing structure 3, and the wing structure 3 includes at least two wing blades 31 connected to the main structure 1. When in use, the current collecting component is first placed at one end of the length direction of the electrode assembly 100, such as Figure 9-11As shown, the ear portion 102 extends from one end of the electrode assembly 100 in the length direction and is connected and fixed to the wing blade 31. After the fixing is completed, the wing blade 31 is bent so that the wing blade 31 is bent toward the side of the main structure 1 away from the electrode assembly 100 (as shown in FIG. Fig.12 As shown in FIG. 1 , the wing blade 31 has a small structural size, which saves materials and facilitates the bending of the wing blade 31 , thereby improving the bending accuracy and bending quality, and is beneficial to improving the energy density of the battery.

[0046] Optionally, the pole ear portion 102 includes a first pole ear component 1021 and a second pole ear component 1022 that are spaced apart from each other, two wing blades 31 are provided, and the first pole ear component 1021 and the second pole ear component 1022 are connected to the two wing blades 31 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0047] In this embodiment, if Fig. 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the pole ear portion 102 at one end of each electrode assembly 100 is divided into two independent parts, namely, a first pole ear part 1021 and a second pole ear part 1022. Each group of wing structures 3 includes two wing blades 31, which are respectively connected to the first pole ear part 1021 and the second pole ear part 1022. It can be understood that compared with the one-piece pole ear portion 102, the pole ear portion 102 is divided into two parts, namely, the first pole ear part 1021 and the second pole ear part 1022, in this embodiment. Compared with the traditional one-piece pole ear, the two-piece pole ear is more convenient to bend, which improves the bending quality of the pole ear, facilitates the bending of the pole ear, and helps to reduce the consumption of the pole ear material and save costs.

[0048] Optionally, two groups of electrode assemblies 100 are provided, and wing structures 3 are respectively provided at both ends of the width direction of the main structure 1, and the pole ears 102 of the two groups of electrode assemblies 100 are correspondingly connected to the wing structures 3 at both ends of the width direction of the main structure 1.

[0049] In this embodiment, if Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, two groups of electrode assemblies 100 are provided, and the two groups of electrode assemblies 100 are arranged in the same row and at intervals. The first pole ear member 1021 and the second pole ear member 1022 of each group of electrode assemblies 100 are connected to two wing blades 31 one by one. The pole ear portions 102 at the same end of the two groups of electrode assemblies 100 share a current collecting component for centralized output, which reduces the number of current collecting components set, and is conducive to further improving the battery density. In addition, except for this embodiment Fig. 9 and Fig.10 In addition to the above, the electrode assembly 100 may also be provided with only one group, and the wing structure 3 is also provided with one group accordingly. The first pole ear member 1021 and the second pole ear member 1022 of one group of electrode assemblies 100 are connected to two wing blades 3 in one group of wing structures 3, and the pole ear portion 102 at one end of one group of electrode assemblies 100 is output in a centralized manner through a current collecting component, which is not the case with the attached diagram of this embodiment. Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The connection method of the two groups of electrode assemblies 100 shown is limited.

[0051] Optionally, the spacing dimension L between two adjacent wing blades 31 is less than or equal to half of the length dimension of the main structure 1. Figure 1 As shown, the spacing dimension L between two adjacent wing blades 31 is less than or equal to half of the length dimension of the main structure 1 , which facilitates the bending of the wing blades 31 .

[0052] Optionally, the thickness of the wing blade 31 is less than or equal to the thickness of the main structure 1. Preferably, the wing blade 31 is thinned so that the thickness of the wing blade 31 is less than the thickness of the main structure 1. It can be understood that after the pole ear portion 102 is connected to the wing blade 31, the wing blade 31 is bent toward the side of the main structure 1 away from the electrode assembly 100, so the wing blade 31 is thinned to further reduce the thickness of the wing blade 31 and the pole ear portion 102 after bending.

[0053] In addition, this embodiment also provides a battery manufacturing method, in which the above-mentioned current collecting component is used, comprising the following steps:

[0054] Positioning step, positioning and assembling the tooling assembly 200 and the main structure 1;

[0055] In this step, the lead-out structure 2 is pre-assembled and connected with the cover plate assembly 103, the cover plate assembly 103 includes poles 1031 disposed at both ends, and the lead-out structure 2 is fixedly connected with the poles 1031.

[0057] In this step, the pole ear portion 102 includes a first pole ear member 1021 and a second pole ear member 1022 arranged at intervals, and the first pole ear member 1021 and the second pole ear member 1022 are connected to the two wing blades 31 one by one. The connection method of the pole ear portion 102 and the wing blade 31 can be fixed by ultrasonic welding, which has a fast welding speed and high processing accuracy. In addition, connection processes other than laser welding, soldering, etc. can also be used, not limited to those described in this embodiment.

[0058] Bending step: bending the wing blade 31 and the pole ear portion 102 , and withdrawing the tooling assembly 200 .

[0059] In this step, after the connection between the pole ear 102 and the wing blade 31 is completed, the wing blade 31 is bent toward the side of the main structure 1 away from the electrode assembly 100. After the wing blade 31 and the pole ear 102 are bent, the tooling assembly 200 is removed and the processing is completed.

The first matching portion 111 is located between the gaps of two adjacent wing blades 31, and the local piercing forms an inner convex or outer convex structure. The first groove structure 2011 is correspondingly plugged with the first matching portion 111. In addition, the structure of the first positioning tool 201 can also be as shown in Figure 5 As shown, the first groove structure 2011 and the contact side of the main structure 1 facing away from the electrode assembly side 101 are arranged as a T-shaped surface.
