Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of energy storage, and particularly to an electrochemical device and an electrical device. Background Art

[0002] When a battery or an electrical device equipped with a battery is impacted, such as by dropping, there is a risk of the electrode assembly inside the battery moving. The movement of the electrode assembly easily causes the battery to fail. To address the problem of battery failure, a double-sided adhesive layer is usually provided between the electrode assembly and the housing of the electrochemical device, with one side adhered to the housing and the other side adhered to the electrode assembly.

[0003] When the battery is impacted, if the viscosity of the adhesive layer is too small, it is likely to separate from the electrode assembly or the housing, resulting in the relative movement of the electrode assembly with respect to the housing, which may cause the battery cell to fail; if the viscosity of the adhesive layer is too large, after the adhesive layer transfers the impact force to the outer foil of the electrode assembly, it is likely to cause tearing of the outer foil of the electrode assembly. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present application provides an electrochemical device and an electrical device, aiming to reduce the risk of relative movement of the electrode assembly with respect to the housing and the risk of damage to the outer foil of the electrode assembly.

The electrode assembly is disposed inside the housing. The electrode assembly includes a first side surface, a second side surface, a third side surface, and a fourth side surface. Along a first direction, the first side surface and the second side surface are oppositely disposed. Along a second direction, the third side surface and the fourth side surface are oppositely disposed.

The first bonding area is bonded to the first side surface, and the second bonding area is bonded to the second side surface. The second side portion includes a third bonding area, and the third bonding area is bonded to the housing. Along the second direction, the projection of the first non-bonding area overlaps with the third side surface, and the projection of the third bonding area overlaps with the third side surface.

[0006] The electrode assembly is connected to the housing through the first bonding area, the second bonding area, and the third bonding area of the first bonding member, which helps to limit the relative movement between the electrode assembly and the housing, thereby reducing the risk of the electrode assembly moving around in the housing when the electrochemical device is impacted. The first bonding member is provided with a first non-bonding area that is not bonded to the first side surface, which helps to reduce the impact force transmitted by the first bonding member to the electrode assembly when the electrochemical device is impacted, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the outer pole pieces of the electrode assembly.

[0106] It should be noted that in the present application, the center of a certain area refers to the centroid of the planar shape of the area when the area is a continuous whole. It can be understood that the centroid of the planar shape can be determined by the suspension method. Suspend the planar shape with a thin line, draw a straight line in the vertical direction from the starting point of the thin line, and then suspend the planar shape with a different end point from the first time and draw another straight line in the previous method. The intersection of the two straight lines is the centroid of the planar shape. When the area is composed of multiple discrete areas, the center of the area is the center of the smallest circumscribed circle containing the multiple discrete areas. It can be understood that the smallest circumscribed circle is the circle that contains the multiple discrete areas and has the smallest radius.

[0107] It can be understood that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intermediate component at the same time. When a component is considered to be "disposed on" another component, it can be directly disposed on the other component or there may be an intermediate component at the same time. The terms "top", "bottom" and similar expressions used herein are only for the purpose of illustration.

[0108] The terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish different objects and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity, specific order or primary-secondary relationship of the indicated technical features.

[0109] The term "vertical" is used to describe the ideal state between two components. In the actual production or use state, there can be a state approximately vertical between two components. The two components described as "vertical" may not be absolutely straight lines or planes, and may also be approximately straight lines or planes. From a macroscopic perspective, as long as the overall extension direction is a straight line or a plane, the components can be considered "straight lines" or "planes".

[0110] It should be understood that the dimensions and thicknesses of the components shown in the drawings are for better understanding and more convenient description, and this application is not limited to the dimensions and thicknesses shown in the drawings.

[0111] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the technical field to which this application belongs.

[0180] It can be understood that the first adhesive layer 3111, the second adhesive layer 3131, the third adhesive layer 3211, the fourth adhesive layer 3212, and the fifth adhesive layer 3213 can be formed by coating an adhesive substance in a preset area of the base material layer 301; they can also be formed by coating the entire double-sided surface of the base material layer 301 with an adhesive substance and then removing the excess adhesive substance locally.

[0181] In some embodiments, the material of the base material layer 301 can be any one of PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PVC (polyvinyl chloride), or PI (polyimide).

The first non - adhesive layer 312a is adhered to the surface of the first adhesive layer 3111 and / or the second adhesive layer 3131 to form a first non - adhesive area 312; the third non - adhesive layer 322a is adhered to the surface of the third adhesive layer 3211 to form a third non - adhesive area 322; the fourth non - adhesive layer 323a is adhered to the surface of the third adhesive layer 3211 to form a fourth non - adhesive area 323. In this way, after directly coating the first adhesive layer 3111, the second adhesive layer 3131, and the third adhesive layer 3211 on the substrate layer 301, the first non - adhesive area 312, the third non - adhesive area 322, and the fourth non - adhesive area 323 are formed by adhering the first non - adhesive layer 312a, the third non - adhesive layer 322a, and the fourth non - adhesive layer 323a on the first adhesive layer 3111, the second adhesive layer 3131, and the third adhesive layer 3211. By adjusting the area and the set position of the first non - adhesive layer 312a, the third non - adhesive layer 322a, and the fourth non - adhesive layer 323a, the area and the position of the first non - adhesive area 312, the third non - adhesive area 322, and the fourth non - adhesive area 323 can be adjusted, making the formation method and the adjustment method of the non - adhesive area have the advantages of simple operation, high efficiency, and low cost.

[0184] It can be understood that the first non - adhesive layer 312a, the third non - adhesive layer 322a, and the fourth non - adhesive layer 323a can be layers without adhesive substances on both sides, or layers with adhesive substances on one side and without adhesive substances on the other side. As an exemplary example, the substrate layer 301, the first adhesive layer 3111, and the second adhesive layer 3131 form a double - sided adhesive tape, the first non - adhesive layer 312a, the third non - adhesive layer 322a, and the fourth non - adhesive layer 323a are single - sided adhesive tapes, and the first adhesive component 30 is composed of multiple adhesive tape layers stacked together.
