[0002] The cover of a cylindrical battery is usually provided with a circle of notches or grooves as a weak part. When the battery experiences thermal runaway, the air pressure inside the battery will increase sharply. When the pressure exceeds the threshold, the weak part will be torn open, thereby forming a pressure relief hole on the cover to achieve pressure relief. However, since the end face of the cylindrical battery cell is generally connected to a current collecting plate, the pressure relief hole may be blocked to a certain extent, resulting in poor pressure relief and the risk of battery fire and explosion.

[0011] In one embodiment, the side walls on opposite sides of the annular protrusion are inclined toward each other.

[0012] In one of the embodiments, the hollow groove is filled with a cured adhesive layer.

After the first bursting disc is pushed out, a pressure relief hole will be formed on the cover plate to achieve pressure relief. After the second bursting disc is pushed out, a through hole will be formed at the position corresponding to the pressure relief hole on the current collecting plate. The formation of the through hole can prevent the current collecting plate from blocking the pressure relief hole, thereby ensuring the smooth flow of the exhaust channel to achieve rapid pressure relief. Therefore, the pressure relief effect of the above-mentioned battery cell is significantly improved.

The plurality of battery cells can be electrically connected in series, in parallel, or in a mixture of series and parallel, and communicated with the battery management system to form a battery pack, and the above-mentioned battery management system controls and monitors the working status of each battery cell. In addition, the plurality of battery cells can also be first connected in series and / or in parallel, and form a battery module with the module management system, and then the plurality of battery modules are electrically connected in series, in parallel, or in a mixture of series and parallel, and together with the battery management system form a battery pack.

[0036] The battery pack or battery module may be mounted on a supporting structure such as a box, a frame, or a bracket, and the battery cells and the battery management system may be electrically connected to each other through a busbar, such as a bar. The battery cells may be lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, or magnesium-ion batteries. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the battery cells are lithium-ion cylindrical batteries.

[0037] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment of the present invention, a battery cell 10 includes a housing 100 , a battery cell 200 , a cover plate 300 and a current collecting plate 400 .

[0038] The shell 100 is a tubular structure, specifically a cylindrical shape. The shell 100 can be an aluminum shell or a steel shell. The present embodiment adopts a steel shell, which has a higher structural strength. The shell 100 is usually provided with an opening at one end, and the opening can allow the battery cell 200 and the current collecting plate 400 to be installed, and the cover plate 300 is covered at one end of the opening of the shell 100 and closes the opening. In addition, a pole 500 is generally provided at one end of the shell 100 away from the cover plate 300. The battery cell 200 is the core component of the battery cell and is accommodated in the shell 100. The battery cell 200 is generally formed by winding a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet and a diaphragm that acts as an insulator between the negative electrode sheet and the positive electrode sheet. Specifically, the battery cell 200 in the present embodiment is cylindrical, and a positive electrode ear and a negative electrode ear are respectively provided at both ends.

[0039] Normally, the positive pole ear of the battery cell 200 is electrically connected to the pole 500 through the second current collecting plate 600, and the negative pole ear is electrically connected to the cover plate 300 through the current collecting plate 400, so the pole 500 and the cover plate 300 will respectively serve as the positive terminal and negative terminal of the battery cell 10. Of course, the positions of the positive pole ear and the negative pole ear of the battery cell 200 can also be reversed. That is, the positive pole ear is electrically connected to the cover plate 300 through the current collecting plate 400, and the negative pole ear is electrically connected to the pole 500 through the second current collecting plate 600, so the pole 500 and the cover plate 300 will respectively serve as the negative terminal and positive terminal of the battery cell 10.

[0040] The material of the cover plate 300 is the same as that of the shell 100, so the welding effect with the shell 100 is better. An annular first weak portion 301 is formed on the cover plate 300, and the portion of the cover plate 300 located inside the first weak portion 301 forms the first bursting piece 310. The structural strength of the first weak portion 301 is lower than that of other portions. Specifically, the first weak portion 301 can be a hollow groove, a notched groove or a thinning area. Optionally, the first weak portion 301 is in the shape of a circular ring, so the first bursting piece 310 is in the shape of a circular plate. When the pressure on one side of the cover plate 300 exceeds a threshold value, the first weak portion 301 ruptures and separates the first bursting piece 310 from the main body of the cover plate 300, thereby forming a pressure relief hole (not shown) on the cover plate 300.

[0041] The current collecting plate 400 is arranged on the side of the cover plate 300 facing the battery cell 200. Specifically, the current collecting plate 400 can be welded to the cover plate 300 by penetration welding, caulking welding, etc., so as to realize the electrical connection between the pole ear of the battery cell 200 and the cover plate 300. Among them, a ring-shaped second weak portion 401 is formed on the current collecting plate 400, and the part of the current collecting plate 400 located inside the second weak portion 401 forms a second bursting piece 410. The second weak portion 401 has a lower structural strength than other parts. Specifically, the first weak portion 301 can be a notched groove or a thinning area. Optionally, the second weak portion 401 is in the shape of a circular ring, so the second bursting piece 410 is in the shape of a circular plate. When the pressure on one side of the current collecting plate 400 exceeds the threshold value, the second weak portion 401 ruptures and separates the second bursting piece 410 from the main body of the current collecting plate 400, thereby forming a through hole (not shown) on the current collecting plate 400.

[0042] Furthermore, the projection of the second weak portion 401 on the surface of the cover plate 300 does not exceed the area enclosed by the first weak portion 301. In other words, the projection of the second weak portion 401 on the surface of the cover plate 300 is located in the area enclosed by the first weak portion 301, or partially overlaps with the first weak portion 301 but does not exceed the outer edge of the first weak portion 301. In this way, the size of the second bursting disc 410 can be made smaller than the size of the pressure relief hole formed on the cover plate 300, ensuring that the second bursting disc 410 can smoothly pass through the cover plate 300 through the pressure relief hole.

[0043] When thermal runaway occurs and causes the pressure in the housing 100 to exceed a threshold, the first weak portion 301 and the second weak portion 401 will be broken, so that the first bursting disc 310 and the second bursting disc 410 are separated from the cover plate 300 and the main body of the current collecting plate 400 respectively, and are pushed out together. The pressure relief hole formed by the first bursting disc 310 being pushed out can achieve pressure relief, and the through hole formed by the second bursting disc 410 being pushed out can prevent the current collecting plate 400 from blocking the pressure relief hole, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the exhaust passage to achieve rapid pressure relief.

[0044] Moreover, the tabs of the battery cell 200 are generally welded to the second bursting disc 410 . As the second bursting disc 410 rushes out, the connection between the battery cell 200 and the current collecting plate 400 will be disconnected, thereby cutting off the current to further ensure safety.

[0045] Please also read Figure 4 In this embodiment, the first weak portion 301 is configured as an annular hollow groove, and the second weak portion 401 is configured as a notched groove. In other words, the first bursting disc 310 is not connected to the cover plate 300 body, and the first bursting disc 310 is fixed by the collecting plate 400. When thermal runaway occurs, it is only necessary to tear the second weak portion 401, and the second bursting disc 410 and the first bursting disc 310 can be pushed out at the same time, thereby ensuring that pressure relief can be achieved smoothly.

[0046] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the first weak portion 301 and the second weak portion 401 may also be configured as notched grooves. In this case, the threshold for pressure relief of the battery cell 10 is equal to the sum of the thresholds for rupture of the first weak portion 301 and the second weak portion 401. In addition, in order to ensure the integrity of the cover plate 300 and facilitate assembly, a connecting portion may be provided in the hollow groove to connect the first bursting disc 310 with the main body of the cover plate 300.

[0047] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the second weak portion 401 is located within the range of the first weak portion 301. That is, the projection of the notched groove on the collecting plate 400 on the cover plate 300 is located within the hollow groove. In this way, when the second weak portion 401 is broken, the size of the through hole formed on the collecting plate 400 is larger, which can further ensure the smooth flow of the exhaust passage.

[0048] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the second weak portion 401 is formed on the surface of the current collecting plate 400 facing the cover plate 300. In this way, the notched groove can be exposed in the hollow groove, so that the notched groove can be observed from the outside of the cover plate 300 during the welding operation between the current collecting plate 400 and the cover plate 300, thereby facilitating the identification and positioning of the notched groove during welding and reducing assembly errors.

[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment, the cover plate 300 is located at the first weak portion 301, that is, both sides of the hollow groove are welded to the current collecting plate 400. The two sides of the hollow groove are the first bursting disc 310 and the main body of the cover plate 300, which can be welded to the second bursting disc 410 and the main body of the current collecting plate 400 respectively. In this way, two annular weld marks will be formed between the current collecting plate 400 and the cover plate 300, and the two weld marks are respectively located on both sides of the hollow groove, thereby ensuring the sealing performance between the current collecting plate 400 and the cover plate 300.

[0050] More specifically, in this embodiment, the width of the hollow groove is W1, and the distance between the notched groove and the side wall of the hollow groove is W2; wherein 2W2≤W1≤3W2, and 1mm≤W1≤3mm. It should be noted that W2 refers to the distance between the opening edge of the notched groove and the side wall of the hollow groove.

[0051] If W2 is too small, the space available for welding on both sides of the notched groove is small, so the welding area is insufficient, resulting in poor weld strength, and the sealing between the collector plate 400 and the cover plate 300 is affected; if W2 is too large, the exposed area of ​​the collector plate 400 is large, which is easy to cause damage to the collector plate 400. In particular, when the collector plate 400 is formed of metal such as copper, it is easy to rust and corrode.

[0052] In addition, in this embodiment, the hollow groove is filled with a cured glue layer (not shown). Specifically, the cured glue layer can be made by first filling the hollow groove with UV glue or other common glue and then curing it into shape. The cured glue layer can form a protective layer in the hollow groove, thereby preventing the notched groove from being deformed or scratched by foreign objects. Moreover, the cured glue layer can fill the gap between the cover plate 300 and the collecting plate 400, and can also play a role in improving the sealing performance. Optionally, the top surface of the cured glue layer is flush with the outer surface of the cover plate 300.

[0053] Please refer again Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, a side of the cover plate 300 facing away from the battery cell 200 is formed with an avoidance boss 320. The avoidance boss 320 can be formed by stamping, and is generally located in the middle of the cover plate 300 and is concentrically arranged with the first bursting piece 310. The avoidance boss 320 can play a role of outstanding protection, effectively preventing the first weak portion 301 and the second weak portion 401 from being scratched by foreign objects.

[0054] In addition, in the present embodiment, the current collecting plate 400 includes a first metal layer (not shown) and a second metal layer (not shown) stacked on each other. The first metal layer is located on the side of the current collecting plate 400 facing the battery cell 200 and is welded to the pole ear of the battery cell 200. The second metal layer is located on the side of the current collecting plate 400 facing away from the battery cell 200 and is welded to the cover plate 300.

[0055] The second metal layer is usually a steel layer, which is the same material as the cover plate 300, so it can reduce the difficulty of welding with the cover plate 300. The material of the first metal layer can be specifically set according to the material of the pole ear to be welded thereto. Specifically, when the pole ear welded to the first metal layer is a negative pole ear, the first metal layer can be a copper layer; and when the pole ear welded to the first metal layer is a positive pole ear, the first metal layer can be an aluminum layer. Therefore, it can be ensured that a reliable weld mark is formed between the first metal layer and the pole ear of the battery cell 200.

[0056] Moreover, the second metal layer can also protect the first metal layer, thereby reducing the risk of rusting of the first metal layer. The second metal layer can be thicker than the first metal layer, and the notch groove can be only opened in the second metal layer without extending to the first metal layer.

[0057] See also Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In another embodiment, the surface of the collector plate 400 is formed with an annular protrusion 420 extending into the hollow groove, and the second weak portion 401 is located on the annular protrusion 420 and extends along the annular protrusion 420. In this embodiment, the second weak portion 401 is set as a notched groove, and in the thickness direction of the collector plate 400, the bottom surface of the notched groove is located between the surfaces on opposite sides of the collector plate 400, ensuring that the second weak portion 401 is smoothly broken in the event of thermal runaway.

[0058] The end surface of the annular protrusion 420 is usually lower than the outer surface of the cover plate 300, which can prevent the annular protrusion 420 from being scratched by foreign objects. The annular protrusion 420 can play the role of a reinforcing rib, thereby reducing the risk of deformation of the cover plate 300 and ensuring the stability and consistency of the valve opening pressure value of the second weak portion 401, thereby ensuring that the first weak portion 301 and the second weak portion 401 are successfully broken through during thermal runaway, and the first bursting disc 310 and the second bursting disc 410 can be smoothly pushed out. In addition, the annular protrusion 420 can also cooperate with the hollow groove to play a positioning role during the assembly process.

[0059] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the side walls on both sides of the annular protrusion 420 are inclined toward each other. On the one hand, the inclined side walls can avoid stress concentration; on the other hand, when the cover plate 300 and the current collecting plate 400 are welded by caulking welding, the inclined side walls can also avoid laser during laser welding, reducing the difficulty of welding.

[0060] When thermal runaway occurs in the battery cell 10 and the pressure in the housing 100 exceeds the threshold, the first weak portion 301 and the second weak portion 401 will be broken through, so that the first bursting piece 310 and the second bursting piece 410 are separated from the main body of the cover plate 300 and the current collecting plate 400, respectively, and pushed out together. After the first bursting piece 310 is pushed out, a pressure relief hole will be formed on the cover plate 300, thereby achieving pressure relief. After the second bursting piece 410 is pushed out, a through hole will be formed at a position corresponding to the pressure relief hole in the current collecting plate 400. The formation of the through hole can prevent the current collecting plate 400 from blocking the pressure relief hole, thereby ensuring the smooth flow of the exhaust channel to achieve rapid pressure relief. Therefore, the pressure relief effect of the battery cell 10 is significantly improved.

[0061] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
