Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lithium-ion batteries, and particularly to a lithium-ion battery with two-sided pole columns and an assembly method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, as a green new energy source, lithium-ion batteries have been widely used in the power industry, consumer electronics industry, etc. Especially in the power transportation industry, the cruising range of electric vehicles has become the key to the industry development and competition, which puts higher requirements on the energy density of lithium-ion batteries. At present, the volume of power batteries is developing in the direction of getting larger, and the improvement of space utilization rate has become the key to the development of battery structure.

[0003] At present, most power batteries adopt a multi-layer cut tab winding or stacked butterfly welding assembly structure. After the multi-layer tabs are eccentrically (or centered) laminated and welded, they need to be connected to the inner side of the cover plate pole column. Therefore, it is necessary to retain a relatively long tab to ensure the current-carrying capacity and assemblability after the multi-layer tabs are laminated and welded. At the same time, as the battery thickness increases, the thickness of the welded single pole group increases, and the length of the tab will also increase accordingly. In this case, on the one hand, during the laser cutting (die cutting), stacking (or winding) process of the overly long tab, the tab is prone to collapse, fold, and breakage, and it is not easy to be detected by a CCD appearance inspection device or other means; on the other hand, it will also cause a large amount of tab foil waste.

[0004] To solve the above problems, a structure of adding a connecting piece for bending has emerged in the current industry. However, such a design will cause a loss of space utilization rate in the height direction of the battery.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a technology at present that can avoid the overly long tab length, effectively reduce the waste of tab foil, and at the same time effectively avoid the loss of space utilization rate in the height direction of the battery.

[0076] The outer wall of the electrode group body is wrapped with a protective film;

[0077] The electrode group body wrapped with the protective film is placed into a battery case 7 with openings at both ends and hollow inside;

[0078] Both ends of the battery case 7 are respectively snap-connected to an upper gasket bracket 6;

[0079] It should be noted that the upper gasket bracket 6 is made of plastic and is placed into the case 7 to protect the electrode tabs;

[0083] In the present invention, specifically, the first electrode group 1 and the second electrode group 2 adopt a stacked structure.

[0084] In the present invention, specifically, the edges of the first positive electrode tab 101 and the first negative electrode tab 102 of the first electrode group 1 do not exceed the center position of the electrode tab setting surface of the first electrode group 1 and are biased towards the upper side or the lower side of the first electrode group 1;

[0096] For the present invention, in order to assemble the aforementioned blade square lithium-ion battery, the present invention also provides an assembly method for the blade square lithium-ion battery, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0097] Step 1, as shown in Figure 1 the figure, pre-weld the first positive electrode tab 101 and the first negative electrode tab 102 on both sides of the first pole group 1, and pre-weld the second positive electrode tab 201 and the second negative electrode tab 202 on both sides of the second pole group 2; specifically, ultrasonic welding can be used;

[0098] Step 2, as shown in Figure 3As shown, the first negative electrode tab 102 of the first electrode group 1 and the second negative electrode tab 202 of the second electrode group 2 after pre-welding are welded to the same negative electrode side cover plate 3. Specifically: on the negative electrode tab sides of the first electrode group 1 and the second electrode group 2, they are directly welded to the negative electrode side cover plate 3 by means of butterfly laser welding;

[0099] In step 2, the first negative electrode tab 102 of the first electrode group 1 and the second negative electrode tab 202 of the second electrode group 2 are ultrasonically welded to a negative electrode lead piece, and the negative electrode lead piece is laser welded to the negative electrode side cover plate 3.

[0100] Step 3, refer to Figure 4 As shown, after the negative electrode tabs of the first electrode group 1 and the second electrode group 2 are welded, the first electrode group 1 and the second electrode group 2 are bent 90 degrees, that is, folded against each other, so that the first electrode group 1 and the second electrode group 2 are combined together, and the core wrapping and gluing are completed. Then, the negative electrode tabs of the first electrode group 1 and the second electrode group 2 are bent in the direction of the electrode group.

[0101] Step 4, refer to Figure 5 As shown, the positive electrode side matching inlaid battery cover plate 4 is welded to the positive electrode lead piece 5; the specific welding method is laser welding.

[0102] Step 5, refer to Figure 6 As shown, the positive electrode lead piece 5 is welded to the positive electrode tabs of the first electrode group 1 and the second electrode group 2; the specific welding method is ultrasonic welding.

[0103] Step 6, refer to Figure 7 As shown, the first positive electrode tab 101 of the first electrode group 1 and the second positive electrode tab 201 of the second electrode group 2 are cross-connected together through a cross-bending operation.

[0104] Step 7, refer to Figure 8 As shown, two finished upper gasket brackets 6 are installed in a snap-fit manner at the positions between the positive electrode side matching inlaid battery cover plate 4 and the electrode group main body, and between the negative electrode side cover plate 3 and the electrode group main body. Then, a protective film is wrapped on the outer wall of the electrode group main body; among them, the first electrode group 1 and the second electrode group 2 are arranged side by side and stacked together to form the electrode group main body; therefore, through the upper gasket bracket 6, the electrode tabs can be protected and fixed, and the surface of the electrode group can be protected by wrapping the external protective film.

[0105] Step 8, refer to Figure 9As shown, insert the completed electrode group body with the coating into the barrel-shaped battery case 7. The specific operation is as follows: First, insert the positive electrode side into the battery case 7. When the positive electrode side's matching inlaid battery cover plate 4 passes through the battery case 7 and reaches the designated position (for example, a preset distance position near one end opening of the battery case 7), perform gravitational traction on the two traction posts 40 on the positive electrode side's matching inlaid battery cover plate 4 (an existing traction device with a clamping function can be used), so that the positive electrode side's matching inlaid battery cover plate 4 is cooperatively connected with the positive electrode cover plate flat 8 (the positive electrode cover plate flat 8 has a guiding groove structure that matches the positive electrode side's matching inlaid battery cover plate 4).

[0106] Step 9, refer to Figure 10 As shown, weld the four peripheries of the positive electrode cover plate flat 8 on the outer side of one end of the battery case 7 near the positive electrode side's matching inlaid battery cover plate 4. At the same time, weld the four peripheries of the other end of the battery case 7 to the four peripheries of the negative electrode side cover plate 3 to obtain a lithium-ion battery with two-sided electrode posts. The specific welding method can be laser welding.

[0107] Step 10, after completing the welding of the positive electrode cover plate flat 8 and the positive electrode side's matching inlaid battery cover plate 4, use a shearing method to cut off the two traction posts 40 on the positive electrode side's matching inlaid battery cover plate 4 (that is, cut off the protruding traction mechanism on the positive electrode side's matching inlaid battery cover plate 4).

[0108] In summary, compared with the prior art, a lithium-ion battery with two-sided electrode posts and an assembly method provided by the present invention are scientifically designed, can avoid the excessive length of the electrode tabs, effectively reduce the waste of electrode tab foils, and at the same time, effectively avoid the loss of space utilization rate in the height direction of the battery, which has great practical significance.

[0109] It should be noted that in the prior art, the welding operation is carried out after the battery is put into the case. Therefore, the length of the electrode tabs left in the prior art should consider the welding space during ultrasonic welding. For the battery structure adopted in the present invention, the welding of the electrode tabs and the corresponding cover plates is completed before the battery is put into the case. Thus, by applying the present invention, the reserved welding space for the ultrasonic welding head and the welding seat to extend into the battery case can be saved, and the saved part can be directly converted into the length of the electrode tabs and the utilization rate of the space.

[0110] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
