Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of batteries, and in particular to a battery assembly method and a battery. Background Art
[0002] The square shell battery is constructed with a pole group with a pole ear on one side as the core component. The traditional square shell battery assembly process usually first installs the pole group into the battery shell, then bends the positive and negative pole ears on the same side of the pole group for multiple times to form an approximate S shape, and then installs the cover assembly connected with the pole into the open part of the battery shell, and welds the pole ear and the pole of corresponding polarity to the pole. After the welding of the pole ear and the pole is completed, the battery shell and the bare aluminum plate in the cover assembly are welded, and the battery shell is sealed to complete the assembly of the square shell battery.
[0003] However, for square shell batteries assembled by this method, on the one hand, since the surface of one side of the electrode group is provided with a pole ear, in order to avoid interference with the pole ear, an insulating film is usually only coated on the surface of the electrode group without the pole ear, so that when the electrode group is put into the shell, the surface of the electrode group with the pole ear is easily damaged due to lack of protection; on the other hand, not only does it need to complete the welding of the pole ear and the pole column first, but also when welding the bare aluminum plate and the battery shell, adverse factors such as vibration and high temperature during the welding process will affect the already welded pole ear and pole column, resulting in reduced welding quality between the pole column and the pole ear and affecting the conductive efficiency.

[0048] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only parts related to the present invention, rather than all structures, are shown in the accompanying drawings.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0050] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include that the first and second features are in direct contact, or may include that the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them. Moreover, a first feature being "above", "above" and "above" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature.

In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.
[0052] When assembling traditional square shell batteries, on the one hand, the welding step of the pole ears and pole posts is located before the welding of the bare aluminum plate and the battery shell, which not only makes the pole ears and pole posts that have completed the welding operation easily affected by the high temperature and vibration when the bare aluminum plate and the battery shell are welded, but also because the bare aluminum plate and the battery shell are in a relatively free state when welding the pole ears and pole posts, which makes it difficult to weld the pole ears and pole posts and is not easy to operate. On the other hand, since the surface of the pole group with the pole ears lacks protection before entering the shell, it is easy to be damaged when entering the shell, affecting product quality.
[0053] Therefore, in order to reduce the difficulty of welding operation and improve the welding quality, the present embodiment provides a battery assembly method, in which the battery assembled by the battery assembly method includes a pole group 100 with a pole ear 200 on the same side, a cover plate module 2, a shell body 1, a closing module 3 and at most one fixed end plate 4.
[0054] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the battery assembly method includes the following steps:
[0055] S1, coating the outer side of the surface of the electrode group 100 without the electrode ear 200 with an insulating film 5, and setting a cover plate module 2 or a fixed end plate 4 hot-melted with the insulating film 5 on the side of the electrode group 100 with the electrode ear 200, if the fixed end plate 4 is hot-melted with the electrode group 100, then execute step S2A, if the cover plate module 2 is hot-melted with the electrode group 100, then execute step S2B;
[0056] S2A, the fixed end plate 4 is provided with an avoidance groove 41 for the pole ear 200 to pass through, the fixed end plate 4 is arranged on the side of the pole group 100 provided with the pole ear 200, and the fixed end plate 4 and the insulating film 5 are thermally melted, and after the fixed end plate 4 and the insulating film 5 are thermally melted and step S2A is completed, step S3A is performed;
[0057] S3A, the shell body 1 is a single-side open structure with a cavity, the pole group 100 with the fixed end plate 4 hot-melted is installed in the cavity in the shell body 1, the cover plate module 2 is arranged at the open part of the shell body 1, the cover plate module 2 includes a cover plate body 21, a pole 22 and a connecting piece 23, the cover plate body 21 is provided with a connecting window 211 communicating with the cavity of the shell body 1, one end of the connecting piece 23 is fixed to the cover plate body 21 by the pole 22, and the other end of the connecting piece 23 extends to the bottom of the connecting window 211, and an avoidance groove 41 for the pole ear 200 to pass through is provided on the fixed end plate 4, and the pole ear 200 passing through the avoidance groove 41 is bent so that the pole ear 200 overlaps on the surface of the connecting piece 23 facing the connecting window 211. After completing step S3A, step S4 is executed;
[0058] S2B, the cover plate module 2 further includes an insulating member 24, and a through structure 241 communicating with the connection window 211 is provided on the insulating member 24. The cover plate module 2 is arranged on a side of the electrode group 100 where the electrode ear 200 is arranged, and the electrode ear 200 is bent so that the electrode ear 200 overlaps the surface of the connecting sheet 23 facing the connection window 211. After completing step S2B, step S4 is performed;
[0059] S4, welding the cover plate body 21 and the outer shell body 1 to seal the outer shell body 1;
[0060] S5, welding the tab 200 and the connecting piece 23 below the connecting window 211;
[0061] S6. The closed module 3 includes a closed plate 31 and an insulating plate 32. The insulating plate 32 is arranged on the side of the closed plate 31 facing the pole ear 200. The closed plate 31 is arranged at the connecting window 211 of the cover body 21, and the closed plate 31 and the cover body 21 are welded.
[0062] On the one hand, before the electrode group 100 is put into the shell, the surface of the electrode group 100 without the pole ear 200 is first coated with an insulating film 5, and a cover plate module 2 or a fixed end plate 4 hot-melted with the insulating film 5 is arranged on the side of the electrode group 100 with the pole ear 200, thereby forming six-sided protection for the electrode group 100, avoiding damage to the electrode group 100 when entering the shell, and improving product quality. On the other hand, during assembly, the welding process of sealing the open shell body 1 is located before the welding process of the pole ear 200 and the connecting piece 23, thereby avoiding the adverse factors such as vibration and high temperature during the welding process during the closed welding operation of the shell body 1. The influence of the already welded pole ear 200 and the connecting piece 23 is improved, and the welding quality between the pole ear 200 and the connecting piece 23 is improved. In addition, since the cover plate module 2 and the shell body 1 are in a fixed state, the difficulty of welding the pole ear 200 and the connecting piece 23 is reduced.
[0063] The structure that is hot-melted with the insulating film 5 coated on the outside of the electrode group 100 is a fixed end plate 4 or a cover plate module 2, which can be freely selected according to actual needs. In this embodiment, the fixed end plate 4 is preferably hot-melted with the insulating film 5 on the outside of the electrode group 100. In other embodiments, in order to reduce manufacturing costs, it can be considered to hot-melt the cover plate module 2 and the insulating film 5.
[0064] Alternatively, if Figure 2 As shown, in step S1, the following steps are also included:
[0065] S11, the battery further includes a bottom support plate 6, and the bottom support plate 6 is pre-heat-fused at a set position of the insulating film 5;
[0066] S12 , covering the surface of the electrode group 100 without the electrode tab 200 with the insulating film 5 , and making the bottom support plate 6 cover the surface of the electrode group 100 away from the electrode tab 200 .
[0067] By hot-melting the bottom support plate 6 on the insulating film 5 before coating the insulating film 5, when the insulating film 5 is coated on the electrode group 100, the bottom support plate 6 can cover the surface of the electrode group 100 opposite to the electrode tab 200, so that when the electrode group 100 is put into the shell, the surface of the electrode group 100 opposite to the electrode tab 200 is protected by the bottom support plate 6 to avoid scratches when the electrode group 100 is put into the shell.
[0068] Alternatively, if Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, in step S6, the following steps are also included:
[0069] S61, a mounting boss 212 is provided on the side of the cover body 21 away from the pole group 100, and a mounting through hole 213 communicating with the connection window 211 and distributed in a stepped manner is opened on the mounting boss 212, and a limiting step 214 is formed between the mounting through hole 213 and the connection window 211, the closing plate 31 includes a closing portion 311 and a plug-in portion 312, the insulating plate 32 is provided on the side of the plug-in portion 312 away from the closing portion 311, the plug-in portion 312 of the closing plate 31 is inserted into the connection window 211, the closing portion 311 of the closing plate 31 is inserted into the mounting through hole 213, and the closing portion 311 is abutted against the limiting step 214;
[0070] S62 , welding the sealing portion 311 to the cover body 21 .
[0071] By arranging a mounting boss 212 on the side of the cover body 21 away from the accommodating cavity, and opening mounting through holes 213 connected to the connecting window 211 and distributed in a stepped manner on the mounting boss 212, the installation position of the closing plate 31 is elevated. On the one hand, more installation space is reserved for the pole ear 200, thereby facilitating the subsequent welding of the pole ear 200 and the connecting plate 23. On the other hand, the installation position of the pole ear 200 in the height direction is improved, thereby further reducing the additional occupation of the pole ear 200 in the accommodating cavity, so that the space utilization rate is further improved.
[0072] Alternatively, if Figure 3 As shown, the overlapping width dimension of the limiting step 214 and the closing portion 311 along the first direction is W. When the closing portion 311 and the cover plate body 21 are butt welded, the width dimension W satisfies 0.5 mm ≤ W ≤ 20 mm.
[0073] When the closing portion 311 and the cover plate body 21 are butt-welded, the overlapping width W of the limiting step 214 and the closing portion 311 along the first direction is limited to satisfy 0.5mm≤W≤20mm. On the one hand, it is avoided that the overlapping width is too small, which leads to undesirable phenomena such as broken welds and explosion points during butt welding. On the other hand, it is avoided that the overlapping width is too large, which leads to an increase in the overall external dimensions of the cover plate module 2 and additional costs.
[0074] Alternatively, if Figure 3 As shown, the width dimension of the overlap between the limiting step 214 and the closing part 311 along the first direction is W. When the closing part 311 and the cover plate body 21 are through-welded, the width dimension W satisfies 1mm≤W≤20mm. By limiting the width dimension W of the overlap between the limiting step 214 and the closing part 311 along the first direction when the closing part 311 and the cover plate body 21 are through-welded, so that it satisfies 1mm≤W≤20mm, on the one hand, it is avoided that the overlapping width is too small, resulting in insufficient strength between the cover plate body 21 and the closing plate 31 after through-welding, and failing to meet the 1.2MPa pressure test, and on the other hand, it is avoided that the overlapping width dimension is too large, resulting in an increase in the overall external dimensions of the cover plate module 2, which increases additional costs.
[0075] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, a battery is also provided, which is assembled by influencing the above-mentioned battery assembly method. By applying the above-mentioned battery assembly method, the battery improves the welding quality, thereby ensuring a higher conductive efficiency, improving the power supply capacity and product quality.
[0076] Alternatively, if Figure 3 , Figure 7 , Figure 8As shown, the insulating plate 32 is provided with an insertion groove 321 on the side facing away from the closing plate 31, and the insulating member 24 is provided with an insertion protrusion 242 on the side facing the cover body 21. The insertion protrusion 242 is continuously arranged around the circumferential edge of the through structure 241, and the insertion protrusion 242 is inserted in the insertion groove 321.
[0077] By providing a plug-in protrusion 242 on the insulating member 24, providing a plug-in groove 321 on the insulating plate 32, and plugging the plug-in groove 321 with the plug-in protrusion 242, on the one hand, it is convenient to position and limit the insulating plate 32 and the insulating member 24 during assembly, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the installation position; on the other hand, since both the insulating plate 32 and the insulating member 24 are insulating, multiple insulation is achieved by plugging the plug-in protrusion 242 with the plug-in groove 321, thereby increasing the insulation distance, preventing short circuits between the closing plate 31, the cover plate body 21 and the metal parts inside the battery housing, and improving safety.
[0078] Alternatively, if Fig. 9 As shown, the fixed end plate 4 is also provided with a shaping extension 42, which is provided on the wall surface of the avoidance slot 41, and the angle between the direction in which the shaping extension 42 extends and the wall surface is an acute angle. By providing the shaping extension 42 in the avoidance slot 41 of the fixed end plate 4, and making the angle between the direction in which the shaping extension 42 extends and the wall surface of the avoidance slot 41 an acute angle, the extension direction of the shaping extension 42 can be mutually fitted with the inclined surface of the terminal lug 200 after the terminal lug 200 is gathered, thereby achieving the effect of gathering and fixing the gathered terminal lug 200, improving the gathered state of the terminal lug 200, and enhancing the gathering effect.
[0079] Alternatively, if Figure 6 As shown, the connecting piece 23 includes a first connecting portion 231 and a second connecting portion 232, the first connecting portion 231 is connected to the pole 22, the second connecting portion 232 is connected to the pole lug 200, and a through-slot 233 is provided on the second connecting portion 232, and the pole lug 200 passes through the through-slot 233 and is connected to the second connecting portion 232. By providing the through-slot 233 on the second connecting portion 232, the shortest path is provided for the pole lug 200 to pass over the connecting piece 23, so that the length of the pole lug 200 is reduced, the space occupied by the pole lug 200 is reduced, and the space utilization rate is improved.
[0080] Optionally, the cross section of the connecting piece 23 is Z-shaped or straight-shaped. In order to adapt to batteries of different specifications and models, in this embodiment, the surface of the first connecting portion 231 facing the cover body 21 is lower than the surface of the second connecting portion 232 facing the cover body 21, so as to form a connecting piece 23 with a Z-shaped cross section. By making the surface of the second connecting portion 232 higher than the surface of the first connecting portion 231, the second connecting portion 232 is used to raise the connection position of the tab 200, thereby further reducing the additional occupation of the tab 200 in the accommodating cavity, so that the space utilization rate is further improved.
[0081] In addition, the connecting piece 23 and the pole 22 can be integrally formed by a molding process, or the connecting piece 23 and the pole 22 can be separately prepared and then welded during assembly. In this embodiment, the pole 22 and the connecting piece 23 are an integral structure, and a through groove 233 is provided on the second connecting portion 232 of the connecting piece 23.
[0082] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, various obvious changes, readjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
