[0002] As one of the technical routes, large cylindrical batteries are expected to promote the iterative upgrading of lithium battery technology. Compared with square and soft-pack batteries, cylindrical batteries have the advantages of high production yield, good consistency, and high degree of equipment automation. They have obvious advantages in the field of power batteries, and their market share is gradually increasing. They are expected to become the optimal solution for standard battery cells.
[0003] At present, large cylindrical battery cells have positive and negative electrodes on both sides, and the negative electrode is connected to the shell. During charging and discharging, the path through which electrons flow is long, resulting in large internal resistance and polarization of the battery, which is not conducive to the performance of the battery. Summary of the invention

[0005] A cylindrical battery cell proposed in the present invention comprises a shell and an electrode assembly arranged in the shell, wherein the electrode assembly has a positive electrode tab and a negative electrode tab. Different from the prior art, the positive electrode tab and the negative electrode tab are located on the same end surface of the electrode assembly, a spacer is formed between the positive electrode tab and the negative electrode tab, and a liquid storage hole is provided in the middle of the electrode assembly along its axis, and the liquid storage hole is located in the spacer;

When cutting, the electrode ears of a single winding core are grouped, and the number of electrode ears in each group is cut from small to large within the electrode sheet length required for a single electrode assembly, and the interval between each group is from small to large.

[0028] S2. Wind the cut positive electrode sheet, negative electrode sheet and separator together, with the positive electrode tab and negative electrode tab on the same side during winding to ensure that the positive and negative electrode tabs of the electrode assembly are on the same side of the electrode assembly after winding, flatten the tabs of the electrode assembly after winding, and the tabs after flattening should be on the same horizontal plane, and the tab stacking thickness should be basically consistent. After flattening, there is a spacing area of about 8-10 mm between the positive electrode tab and the negative electrode tab;
[0029] S3, placing the current collecting plate assembly on the electrode lug side of the electrode assembly, placing the middle part of the insulating portion in the spacing area between the positive and negative electrode lugs, placing the positive electrode current collecting plate on the positive electrode lug, and placing the negative electrode current collecting plate on the negative electrode lug, to prevent the current collecting plate assembly from rotating or tilting;

[0033] S7. After baking, liquid injection, infiltration and formation, the semi-finished battery cell after welding needs to be sealed and welded, and the sealing pin is welded to the liquid injection hole.
[0034] In the present invention, the proposed cylindrical battery cell and its preparation method produce a winding core by cutting the pole ears in a special shape. The positive and negative pole ears are designed on the same side to reduce the number of welding times and the number of structural parts of the battery cell. The shell is no longer connected to the negative electrode, which can shorten the electron transmission path of the battery cell, reduce the internal resistance of the battery cell, and improve the cycle life and performance of the battery cell.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0051] like Figure 1-Figure 9 A cylindrical battery cell structure shown includes an electrode assembly 10, a current collecting plate assembly 20, a shell 40 and a cover plate 31 assembly;
[0052] The motor assembly is disposed in the housing 40, and the electrode assembly 10 has a positive electrode tab 11 and a negative electrode tab 13, the positive electrode tab 11 and the negative electrode tab 13 are located on the same end surface of the electrode assembly 10, a spacer 14 is formed between the positive electrode tab 11 and the negative electrode tab 13, and a liquid storage hole 12 is provided in the middle of the electrode assembly 10 along its axis, and the liquid storage hole 12 is located in the spacer 14;
[0053] The current collecting plate assembly 20 is arranged on the motor assembly, and the current collecting plate assembly 20 includes an insulating portion 29, a positive current collecting plate 21 and a negative current collecting plate 24. The insulating portion 29 is located between the positive current collecting plate 21 and the negative current collecting plate 24. The insulating portion 29 is in conflict with the separator, and a connecting hole is opened on the insulating portion 29. The connecting hole is connected to the liquid storage hole 12. The positive current collecting plate 21 is connected to the positive electrode ear 11, and the negative current collecting plate 24 is connected to the negative electrode ear 13.
[0054] Specifically, the electrode assembly 10 includes a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet, and a separator. The positive electrode sheet includes a positive electrode collector and a positive electrode active material. The positive electrode active material is coated on both sides of the positive electrode collector, and the coating width is less than the width of the positive electrode collector. The uncoated blank areas on both sides of the positive electrode collector serve as the tabs of the positive electrode sheet; the negative electrode sheet includes a negative electrode collector and a negative electrode active material. The negative electrode active material is coated on both sides of the negative electrode collector, and the coating width is less than the width of the negative electrode collector. The uncoated blank areas on both sides of the negative electrode collector serve as the tabs of the negative electrode sheet, and the coating width of the negative electrode sheet active material is slightly greater than the coating width of the positive electrode sheet active material; the separator is a two-layer structure, which is arranged with the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet in the manner of separator, negative electrode, separator, and positive electrode; the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet are formed after baking, rolling, and slitting. The pole piece with blank on one side is laser cut for pole ears. When cutting, the pole ears of a single electrode assembly 10 are grouped. The number of pole ears in each group is cut from small to large within the pole piece length required for a single electrode assembly 10, and the interval between each group is from small to large. The shape of a single pole ear is a parallelogram, and the gap between the pole ears is 0.1-0.5mm. Cutting in the above manner can ensure that the positive pole ear 11 and the negative pole ear 13 of the electrode assembly 10 after winding and flattening are arranged regularly according to design requirements. The positive pole ear 11 and the negative pole ear 13 of the electrode assembly 10 after winding are on the same side of the electrode assembly 10, and there is no contact between the two. There is a spacer 14, and a liquid storage hole 12 is left in the center of the electrode assembly 10 for retaining a portion of the electrolyte. The liquid storage hole 12 is a hole left by the winding needle after pulling out after winding.
[0055] The current collecting plate assembly 20 includes a positive current collecting plate 21, a negative current collecting plate 24 and an insulating portion 29, and is generally circular in shape; the positive current collecting plate 21 and the negative current collecting plate 24 have the same shape and size, but are made of different materials, and are respectively installed on both sides of the insulating portion 29, forming a symmetrical structure, and the positive electrode welding holes 23 and the negative electrode welding holes 26 are respectively designed on the surface, and the number is 3-6. The specific number can be designed according to actual needs. In this application, there are 3 positive and 3 negative holes, and the laser passes through them during welding to collect the current. The plate (ensuring that the positive current collector plate 21 and the negative current collector plate 24) are welded together with the pole ears (including the positive pole ears 11 and the negative pole ears 13), and there is a height difference of 0.1-0.5mm between the lower surface of the positive current collector plate 21 and the negative current collector plate 24 and the lower surface of the insulating portion 29 in the vertical direction, that is, the lower surface of the insulating portion 29 is the part that protrudes downward relative to the positive current collector plate 21 and the negative current collector plate 24, ensuring that the insulating portion 29 is in conflict with the electrode assembly 10, and the positive current collector plate 21 and the negative electrode are in contact with each other. The current collecting disk 24 is also designed with a positive column 22 and a negative column 25, respectively. The top of the column (including the positive column 22 and the negative column 25) is cut into a cylinder with a slightly smaller diameter. The height of the small cylinder is about 1 mm. A through hole is opened in the middle of the insulating portion 29 for liquid injection. The insulating portion 29 has a portion extending outward and located at the positive current collecting disk 21 and the negative current collecting disk 24 to cover the upper surface of the positive current collecting disk 21 and the negative current collecting disk 24 to achieve complete coverage, and according to the current collecting disk (including the positive collecting disk 21 and The position and size of the welding hole on the negative electrode current collecting plate 24 correspond to the opening of the air avoidance groove 27 of the insulating part 29. The size of the air avoidance groove 27 needs to be slightly larger than the size of the welding hole to avoid interference with the laser welding line. The insulating part 29 is designed with a coating layer 28 at the position of the pole according to the size and height of the pole. The height of the coating layer 28 is slightly higher than the height of the pole and has a thickness of about 1 mm. A stepped coating ring with a slightly larger diameter is designed on the top of the coating layer 28 for the installation of the positive conductive terminal 32 and the negative conductive terminal 33.
[0056] The shell 40 is cylindrical, with one end open and the other end closed. The open end serves as the entrance of the electrode assembly 10. When the electrode assembly 10 enters the shell, the non-ear side faces downward and enters first with the ear side facing upward. The inner diameter of the shell 40 is slightly larger than the diameter of the electrode assembly 10 to facilitate the entry of the electrode assembly 10. The wall thickness of the shell 40 is 0.5-0.8mm to ensure structural strength.
[0057] The cover plate 31 assembly is circular, including the cover plate 31 and the conductive terminal. A liquid injection hole 34 is opened in the center of the cover plate 31. The liquid injection hole 34 is designed as a step, and the diameter of the upper half is larger than the diameter of the lower half. It is used for welding the sealing nail installed on the liquid injection hole 34. A positive through hole and a negative through hole are designed on both sides of the liquid injection hole 34. The two are symmetrically arranged and are both designed as a step. The diameter of the upper half is larger than the diameter of the lower half; the conductive terminal includes a positive conductive terminal 32 and a negative conductive terminal 33, and the size and structure of the two are similar. The upper and lower parts of the positive conductive terminal 32 and the negative conductive terminal 33 are respectively designed with an upper concave portion 35 and a lower concave portion 37. The two inner concave portions do not penetrate each other, and there is a partition 36 between the two. The thickness of the partition 36 is 1 mm. The upper concave portion 35 and the lower concave portion 37 are both circular, and the inner diameter of the lower concave portion 37 is the same as the diameter of the small cylinder in the upper half of the pole (including the positive pole 22 and the negative pole 25) to ensure that the two can be installed seamlessly, and then welded together by laser penetration welding.
[0058] The present application also provides a method for preparing a battery having the above structure, and the preparation method is as follows:
[0059] S1. Laser cutting the tabs of the positive and negative electrode sheets after cutting. The cutting accuracy and spacing of the tabs must be precisely controlled during the tab cutting, and the tabs must be cut in groups and intervals according to the process requirements. The tabs are divided into multiple groups within the length of the tabs of a battery cell. The number of tabs in each group gradually increases, and the spacing between groups gradually increases. After the tab cutting of a battery cell length is completed, the same operation is performed on the tabs of each battery cell length thereafter;
[0060] S2, winding the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet with the tabs cut together with the separator, and the positive electrode tab 11 and the negative electrode tab 13 are on the same side during winding, so as to ensure that the positive electrode tab 11 and the negative electrode tab 13 of the electrode assembly 10 after winding are on the same side of the electrode assembly 10, and flattening the tabs (including the positive electrode tab 11 and the negative electrode tab 13) of the electrode assembly 10 after winding, and the tabs after flattening should be on the same horizontal plane, and the tab stacking thickness should be basically consistent, and there is a spacing area of about 8-10 mm between the positive and negative electrode tabs 13 after flattening;
[0061] S3. Place the current collecting plate assembly 20 on the electrode tab side of the electrode assembly 10. It should be noted that the middle of the insulating portion 29 is placed in the spacer between the positive and negative electrode tabs 13. The positive electrode current collecting plate 21 is placed on the positive electrode tab 11, and the negative electrode current collecting plate 24 is placed on the negative electrode tab 13 to prevent the current collecting plate assembly 20 from rotating or tilting.
[0062] S4, laser welding is performed. During welding, the welding tool applies a certain pressure to the current collecting plate assembly 20 to ensure that the positive current collecting plate 21 is in close contact with the positive electrode tab 11 and the negative current collecting plate 24 is in close contact with the negative electrode tab 13 to avoid welding perforation or explosion points. The laser passes through the positive electrode welding hole 23 on the positive current collecting plate 21 to weld the positive electrode tab 11 and the positive current collecting plate 21 together. The laser passes through the negative electrode welding hole 26 on the negative current collecting plate 24 to weld the negative electrode tab 13 and the negative current collecting plate 24 together.
[0063] S5, inserting the welded electrode assembly 10 into the shell, with the non-ear side facing downwards, first entering the shell 40 until reaching the bottom of the shell 40;
[0064] S6. Place the cover plate 31 at the port 41 of the housing 40. Use the equipment welding tool to apply a certain pressure to the cover plate 31 to ensure that the two are in good contact, perform peripheral welding, and weld the two together.
[0065] S7, the semi-finished battery cell after welding needs to be sealed after baking, liquid injection, infiltration, and formation, and the sealing nail is welded to the liquid injection hole 34. At this time, the battery cell is completely sealed to ensure the internal environment of the battery cell. The sealed battery cell can be shipped after post-process testing and screening;
[0066] This completes the production process of the battery cell.
[0067] The operation based on the above-mentioned battery cell structure and method in the present application has the following advantages: compared with the current cylindrical battery cells with pole ears on both sides, the structure proposed in the present application requires that the positive and negative pole ears 13 be produced on the same side, and the positive and negative poles can be welded at the same time. It has a simple structure and high production efficiency. After the battery cell is produced, the internal resistance is small and the polarization is small, which is conducive to the electrical performance.
[0068] The positive electrode current collecting plate 21 and the negative electrode current collecting plate 24 of the above embodiment are semi-arc-shaped. Figure 10-13 As shown, in some embodiments, the difference from the first embodiment is that the shapes of the positive electrode current collecting disk 21 and the negative electrode current collecting disk 24 are different. This embodiment is designed in a shape similar to the Bagua, and the shape of the corresponding insulating portion 29 changes accordingly. In this embodiment, the pole ears are relatively more concentrated. In order to match the shape of the current collecting disk, the corresponding pole ear cutting and grouping of the positive and negative electrode sheets change accordingly. The state of the pole ears of the electrode assembly 10 after flattening is as shown in FIG. Fig.12 As shown, other structures and preparation methods are the same as those in the above embodiment.
