In addition, the terms "first", "second" are only used to distinguish in the description, and have no special meaning.
[0057] Figure 1 The structure of the first secondary battery provided by the present application is shown. As shown in FIG. 1, the first secondary battery comprises a first adapter sheet 300, a second adapter sheet 500, a cover plate 400 and a sealing layer 700. Figure 1As shown, the secondary battery comprises a battery can 100, a battery cell 200, a first adapter tab 300, a cover plate 400, a second adapter tab 500 and a pole 600. The battery can 100 comprises a side wall 101 and an end wall 102, the side wall 101 is provided with an opening at one end, and the end wall 102 is connected to the other end of the side wall 101; the battery cell 200 is arranged in the battery can 100 from the opening end of the side wall 101; and the cover plate 400 is sealingly connected to the opening end of the side wall 101. The first adapter tab 300 is arranged in the battery can 100, and a part of the first adapter tab 300 is connected to a first tab of the battery cell 200, so as to ensure that the first adapter tab 300 is electrically connected to the first tab of the battery cell 200, and a part of the first adapter tab 300 is connected to the opening end of the side wall 101. The second adapter tab 500 is arranged in the battery can 100, and a part of the second adapter tab 500 is connected to a second tab of the battery cell 200, so as to ensure that the second adapter tab 500 is electrically connected to the second tab of the battery cell 200. The pole 600 is fixedly connected to the end wall 102 of the battery can 100, and a part of the pole 600 extends into the battery can 100 and is connected to the second adapter tab 500. Exemplarily, the pole 600 is fixed to the end wall 102 by riveting.
[0058] Optionally, the battery can 100 can be in a cylindrical structure. Of course, in other embodiments, the battery can 100 can also be in a rectangular block structure, which will not be exemplified one by one. Exemplarily, the first tab of the battery cell 200 is a negative electrode, and the second tab of the battery cell 200 is a positive electrode. The side wall 101 of the battery can 100 is connected to the negative electrode of the battery cell 200 through the first adapter tab 300, and the pole 600 is connected to the positive electrode of the battery cell 200 through the second adapter tab 500, so that the positive and negative electrodes of the secondary battery are the same.
[0059] Figure 2 An enlarged view of A in FIG. 1 is shown. Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 2, the first adapter tab 300 is connected to the negative electrode of the battery cell 200, and the second adapter tab 500 is connected to the positive electrode of the battery cell 200. Figure 2 In combination with Figure 1As shown, in the secondary battery, the first adapter piece 300 comprises an adapter portion 301 and a first connecting portion 302, the first connecting portion 302 is arranged around the periphery of the adapter portion 301, and the adapter portion 301 is connected with the first tab of the battery cell 200. The cover plate 400 comprises a cover portion 401 and a second connecting portion 402, the second connecting portion 402 is arranged around the periphery of the cover portion 401, the first connecting portion 302 is located between the second connecting portion 402 and the open end of the side wall 101, and the first connecting portion 302 is fixedly connected with the second connecting portion 402 and the open end of the side wall 101. Exemplarily, the open end of the side wall 101, the first connecting portion 302 and the second connecting portion 402 are roll-woundly connected. By roll-woundly connecting the second end of the side wall 101, the first connecting portion 302 and the second connecting portion 402, the connection strength between the second end of the side wall 101 and the first connecting portion 302 of the first adapter piece 300 can be ensured, and it is not necessary to be fixed by laser welding, so as to avoid burning the battery can 100 or the cover plate 400 by laser welding, and meanwhile the stability of the secondary battery can be improved.
[0060] Continuing to refer to Figure 2 , the side wall 101 comprises a third connecting portion 1011, and the first connecting portion 302, the second connecting portion 402 and the third connecting portion 1011 are fixedly connected. Exemplarily, the first connecting portion 302 and the second connecting portion 402 are roll-woundly fixed to the outside of the third connecting portion 1011 of the side wall 101. Specifically, the first connecting portion 302 of the first adapter piece 300 is wrapped outside the third connecting portion 1011, and the second connecting portion 402 of the cover plate 400 is wrapped outside the first connecting portion 302. In this way, the first adapter piece 300, the cover plate 400 and the side wall 101 of the battery can 100 can be stably fixedly connected, and the sealing effect of the connection portion is good, so as to prevent the electrolyte from leaking.
[0061] Continuing to refer to Figure 2 , a sealing layer 700 is arranged between the second connecting portion 402 and the first connecting portion 302, so as to ensure the sealing property of the connection between the cover plate 400 and the first adapter piece 300 and the third connecting portion 1011 of the side wall 101, and prevent the electrolyte from leaking. Optionally, the sealing layer 700 is sealing glue. Exemplarily, the sealing glue can be coated on the surface of the second connecting portion 402 facing the first connecting portion 302, or the sealing glue can be coated on the surface of the first connecting portion 302 facing the second connecting portion 402, or the sealing glue can be coated on the opposite surfaces of the first connecting portion 302 and the second connecting portion 402, so as to ensure the sealing between the first connecting portion 302 and the second connecting portion 402. In other embodiments, the sealing layer 700 can also be a sealing ring. Exemplarily, a sealing ring can be sleeved outside the second connecting portion 402 of the cover plate 400, and then the sealing ring is extruded during the roll-wound sealing process, so as to realize the sealing connection between the second connecting portion 402 of the cover plate 400 and the first connecting portion 302 of the first adapter piece 300.
[0062] In an embodiment, the first connecting part 302 is in direct contact with the third connecting part 1011 of the side wall 101, and the two are kept in electrical connection to realize the positive and negative same polarity of the secondary battery. In order to facilitate the contact connection between the first connecting part 302 and the third connecting part 1011, Figure 2 In an embodiment, the side wall 101 further comprises a step surface 1012 and a main body part 1013, the step surface 1012 is connected between the third connecting part 1011 and the main body part 1013, and the step surface 1012 extends towards the axis direction of the battery can 100. In this way, the third connecting part 1011 is close to the first connecting part 302, thereby ensuring the stability of the electrical connection between the two, and facilitating the winding and fixing of the first connecting part 302, the second connecting part 402 and the third connecting part 1011. Exemplarily, the step surface 1012 is an annular surface, and the difference between the diameter and the outer diameter of the annular surface is 0.6mm-6mm. In this way, the movement of the battery cell in the shell can be prevented. If the value of the step surface 1012 is too small, it cannot play a supporting effect, and if the value is too large, it is difficult to manufacture. In addition, since the electrolyte is injected at the opening end, a too small opening will affect the efficiency of the battery liquid injection. Of course, in other embodiments, an insulating sealing layer can be arranged between the first connecting part 302 and the third connecting part 1011 of the side wall 101 to realize the insulating connection between the first adapter piece 300 and the battery can 100.
[0063] Preferably, the first connecting part 302 is at least partially perpendicular to the adapter part 301, the third connecting part 1011 of the side wall 101 is at least partially perpendicular to the step surface 1012, and the part of the first connecting part 302 perpendicular to the adapter part 301 is in close contact with the part of the third connecting part 1011 of the side wall 101 perpendicular to the step surface 1012. In this way, the contact area between the first connecting part 302 and the third connecting part 1011 of the side wall 101 can be ensured to be large enough, and the first connecting part 302 and the third connecting part 1011 of the side wall 101 will not be separated due to the distortion force generated during the crimping and sealing, thereby ensuring the stability of the secondary battery. Further, the second connecting part 402 is at least partially perpendicular to the cover part 401, and the part of the second connecting part 402 perpendicular to the cover part 401 is sealingly connected with the part of the first connecting part 302 perpendicular to the adapter part 301, so as to ensure the sealing property of the cover plate 400 and avoid electrolyte leakage.
[0064] Figure 3 A structure schematic diagram of a second secondary battery provided by the application is shown. Figure 4 A structure schematic diagram of a second secondary battery provided by the application is shown. Figure 3 An enlarged view of B in the above figure is shown. Figure 4 The application is further illustrated by the following examples. Figure 3As shown, the secondary battery comprises a battery can 100, an electric core 200, a first adapter piece 300, a cover plate 400, a second adapter piece 500 and a pole 600. The battery can 100 comprises a side wall 101 and an end wall 102, the side wall 101 is provided with an opening at one end, and the end wall 102 is connected to the other end of the side wall 101; the electric core 200 is arranged in the battery can 100 from the opening end of the side wall 101; and the cover plate 400 is sealingly connected to the opening end of the side wall 101. The first adapter piece 300 is arranged in the battery can 100, and a part of the first adapter piece 300 is connected to a first tab of the electric core 200, so as to ensure that the first adapter piece 300 is electrically connected to the first tab of the electric core 200, and a part of the first adapter piece 300 is connected to the opening end of the side wall 101. The second adapter piece 500 is arranged in the battery can 100, and the second adapter piece 500 is connected to a second tab of the electric core 200, so as to ensure that the second adapter piece 500 is electrically connected to the second tab of the electric core 200. The pole 600 is fixedly connected to the end wall 102 of the battery can 100, and a part of the pole 600 extends into the battery can 100 and is connected to the second adapter piece 500. Exemplarily, the pole 600 is fixed to the end wall 102 by riveting. The second secondary battery is basically the same as the first secondary battery in structure, and details are not repeated here. The main difference between the two is that:
[0065] Referring to Figure 4 , the first connecting part 302 is wound outside the second connecting part 402, and a sealing layer 700 is arranged between the first connecting part 302 and the inner and outer parts of the second connecting part 402. Further, the third connecting part 1011 of the side wall 101 is wound outside the first connecting part 302, and the third connecting part 1011 directly contacts the first connecting part 302 and maintains electrical connection. In this way, the contact area of the adapter part 301 of the first adapter piece 300 and the third connecting part 1011 of the side wall 101 of the battery can 100 can be increased, the overcurrent capacity between the first adapter piece 300 and the side wall 101 of the battery can 100 can be improved, the stability of electrical connection between the two can be ensured, and the stability of electrical connection of the secondary battery can be ensured. It should be noted that, Figure 3 and Figure 4 are shown, the winding part of the first connecting part 302 and the third connecting part 1011 is vertically bent and wound, however, in practice, the winding part of the third connecting part 1011, the first connecting part 302 and the sealing layer 700 is generally circularly bent and wound when being fixed to the second connecting part 402, Figure 3 and Figure 4 The structures shown in the figures cannot be regarded as a limitation on the secondary battery structure provided by the present application.
[0066] The present invention also provides a first method for manufacturing a secondary battery, used to process the aforementioned first type of secondary battery. The components required for this manufacturing method include: a battery canister 100 to be assembled, a first adapter plate 300 to be assembled, a cover plate 400 to be assembled, terminals 600 to be assembled, a battery cell 200 to be assembled, and a second adapter plate 500 to be assembled. The secondary battery manufacturing method includes: assembling the terminals 600, the second adapter plate 500, and the battery cell 200; assembling the first adapter plate; assembling the cover plate; narrowing the battery canister opening; and sealing the edges.
[0067] It is worth noting that the assembly of the pole 600, the second adapter plate 500, and the battery cell 200 can use common assembly processes in existing technologies, which will not be elaborated here.
[0068] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the structure of the first adapter piece 300 to be assembled according to the present invention is shown. Figure 5 As shown, the first adapter piece 300 to be assembled includes an adapter portion 301 and a first rolled edge 303. The first rolled edge 303 protrudes from the periphery of the adapter portion 301, and forms a first connecting portion 302 after assembly and sealing. Exemplarily, the first rolled edge 303 is perpendicular to the adapter portion 301. Figure 5 Combination Figure 2 It can be seen that the main structural difference between the first adapter piece 300 to be assembled and the first adapter piece 300 after assembly and sealing is as follows: before assembly and sealing, the first rolled edge 303 is perpendicular to the adapter part 301; after assembly and sealing, the first rolled edge 303 is wound and fixed to the third connecting part 1011 of the side wall 101. The structure of the adapter part 301 of the first adapter piece 300 does not change significantly before and after assembly and sealing. Therefore, for ease of understanding, the first adapter piece 300 to be assembled and the first adapter piece 300 in the finished secondary battery after assembly and sealing use the same designation, and the adapter part 301 in the first adapter piece 300 also uses the same designation, while the first rolled edge 303 and the first connecting part 302 use different designations.
[0069] Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the structure of the cover plate 400 to be assembled according to the present invention is shown. For example... Figure 6 As shown, the cover plate 400 to be assembled includes a sealing portion 401 and a second rolled edge 403. The second rolled edge 403 protrudes from the periphery of the sealing portion 401, and forms a second connecting portion 402 after the sealing is assembled. Exemplarily, the second connecting portion 402 is perpendicular to the sealing portion 401. Figure 6 Combination Figure 2It can be seen that the main difference between the to-be-assembled cover plate 400 and the cover plate 400 after assembly and sealing in structure is that before assembly and sealing, the second edge 403 is perpendicular to the cover portion 401 as a whole, and after assembly and sealing, the second edge 403 is wrapped and fixed on the first connecting portion 302; and before and after assembly and sealing, the structure of the cover portion 401 of the cover plate 400 changes little. Therefore, in order to facilitate understanding, the to-be-assembled cover plate 400 and the cover plate 400 in the finished product secondary battery after assembly and sealing adopt the same reference numerals, and the cover portion 401 in the cover plate 400 also adopts the same reference numerals, while the second edge 403 and the second connecting portion 402 adopt different reference numerals.
[0070] Figure 7 A structure schematic diagram of the first adapter sheet 300 after being assembled into the battery can 100 is shown. As shown in Figure 7 The to-be-assembled first adapter sheet 300 is arranged on the battery cell 200 in the battery can 100, and the adapter portion 301 is fixedly connected with the first tab of the battery cell 200. Figure 8 A structure schematic diagram of the cover plate 400 after being assembled into the battery can 100 is shown. As shown in Figure 8 The to-be-assembled cover plate 400 is arranged on the to-be-assembled first adapter sheet 300. Figure 9 A structure schematic diagram of the battery can after necking is shown. As shown in Figure 9 The opening end of the side wall 101 of the battery can 100 is necked to form a stepped surface 1012, so that the third connecting portion 1011 of the side wall 101 is attached to the first edge 303. Figure 10 A structure schematic diagram after edge sealing is shown. As shown in Figure 10 The third connecting portion 1011 of the side wall 101 of the battery can 100, the first edge 303 and the second edge 403 are wrapped and connected, so that the third connecting portion 1011 of the side wall 101 of the battery can 100, the first edge 303 and the second edge 403 are fixedly connected to form a finished product secondary battery. The manufacturing method ensures that the first adapter sheet 300 is tightly attached to the side wall 101 of the battery can 100 to realize electrical connection through the battery can necking process, and realizes the tight connection of the cover plate 400, the first adapter sheet 300 and the side wall 101 of the battery can 100 through the edge sealing process. Compared with the problems such as poor welding caused by the welding and fixing of the first adapter sheet 300 and the side wall 101 in the prior art, the process steps of the manufacturing method are simpler, and the electrical connection effect is better.
[0071] It is worth noting that during the necking process of the battery can 100, the second end of the battery can 100 is necked, which facilitates the electrolyte injection operation, so that the battery can 100 and the injection tooling can better cooperate, thereby improving the injection efficiency.
[0072] Preferably, in the cover plate assembling step, a sealing layer 700 is arranged between the second crimping edge 403 and the first crimping edge 303, which can ensure the sealing of the connecting part of the cover plate 400 and the first adapter piece 300, and avoid the leakage of electrolyte.
[0073] For example, in the cover plate assembling step, the sealing layer 700 can be arranged by applying sealing glue on the surface of the second crimping edge 403 facing the first crimping edge 303, or by applying sealing glue on the surface of the first crimping edge 303 facing the second crimping edge 403, or by applying sealing glue on both surfaces of the first crimping edge 303 and the second crimping edge 403, or by arranging a sealing ring between the second crimping edge 403 and the first crimping edge 303, which can be sleeved on the second crimping edge 403. Of course, the sealing layer 700 can also be arranged by other methods such as pasting sealing material on the first crimping edge 303, which will not be illustrated one by one here.
[0074] The application also provides a second secondary battery manufacturing method for processing the above-mentioned second secondary battery, which comprises the steps of assembling the pole 600, the second adapter piece 500 and the battery cell 200, assembling the first adapter piece, assembling the cover plate, necking the battery can, and crimping and sealing. The secondary battery manufacturing method is similar to the process steps of the above-mentioned secondary battery manufacturing method, which will not be repeated here, and the main difference lies in the different crimping and sealing step. Specifically as follows:
[0075] In the crimping and sealing step of the first manufacturing method, the first crimping edge 303 and the second crimping edge 403 are crimped and fixed together, and the first crimping edge 303 is crimped and fixed outside the third connecting part 1011 of the side wall 101 to form the first connecting part 302 as shown in Figure 2 , and the second crimping edge 403 is crimped and fixed outside the first connecting part 302 to form the second connecting part 402 as shown in Figure 2 ; while in the crimping and sealing step of the second manufacturing method, the opening end of the side wall 101 and the first crimping edge 303 are crimped and fixed together, and the first crimping edge 303 is crimped and fixed outside the second crimping edge 403 to form the first connecting part 302 as shown in Figure 4 , and the opening end of the side wall 101 is crimped and fixed outside the first connecting part 302 to form the third connecting part 1011.
[0076] The embodiment also provides an electronic device comprising the above-mentioned secondary battery. The electronic device has more stable performance by applying the above-mentioned secondary battery.
[0077] Optionally, the electronic device can be a power battery or an energy storage device or other electronic products, which will not be illustrated one by one here.
