Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of battery technology, and more specifically, to a battery cell and its application. Background Technology

[0002] With the application and promotion of new energy vehicles, the energy density and fast charging capability of battery cells have improved, and the cell material system has been rapidly upgraded, resulting in a year-on-year increase in the electrochemical activity inside the cell. When the cell experiences thermal runaway, the amount and rate of gas production inside the cell increase dramatically. Traditional cell pressure relief structures are unable to cope with this change and cannot effectively and timely discharge large amounts of gas, increasing the risk of cell safety runaway.

[0003] Traditional battery cell pressure relief structures employ a lower support and C-shaped notches for airflow guidance and explosion protection. Specifically, the lower support is a key component in the pressure relief structure, typically installed at a specific location on the bottom or side of the cell. It provides a supporting foundation for the entire pressure relief structure, ensuring its stability within the cell. C-shaped notches are usually located on the cell's cover plate, created by machining processes such as stamping and cutting to form weak areas. When the cell is operating normally, the C-shaped notches remain intact, sealing the interior and preventing leakage of electrolytes and other substances. When the cell experiences thermal runaway or other abnormal conditions, the internal pressure rises sharply. The C-shaped notches, acting as stress concentration areas, will rupture first, opening the pressure relief channel and releasing the high-pressure gas, thus providing explosion protection.

[0004] The aforementioned traditional pressure relief structure of battery cells has certain technical defects: when the C-shaped groove breaks, there are problems such as obstructed airflow, deformation of the cover plate under thermal runaway conditions, and deformation of the pressure relief valve along with the cover plate. This can lead to deviations in the pressure relief valve's burst pressure, or even the pressure relief valve failing to open, resulting in unsafe and uncontrolled battery cell operation. Therefore, it is necessary to further adjust and upgrade the battery cell's pressure relief structure to match the rapidly evolving battery cell structure and performance.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention is hereby proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The primary objective of this invention is to provide a battery cell, mainly relating to the design of pressure relief or explosion-proof functional components in the battery cover, to address the shortcomings of current processes where pressure relief valves (such as conventional structures with brackets and C-shaped grooves) fail to meet the safety performance requirements of highly active batteries during thermal runaway, resulting in defects such as the inability to quickly expel hot air, deformation of the cover or pressure relief valve, deviation of the pressure relief valve's burst pressure, or even failure to open the valve.

[0007] A second objective of the present invention is to provide a battery or electrical device.

[0008] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objectives of the present invention, the following technical solution is adopted: A battery cell, the battery cell comprising a battery cell and a cover plate; The cover plate is provided with a pressure relief valve composite diaphragm; the pressure relief valve composite diaphragm includes: a pressure relief metal sheet, and an adhesive transition layer and a reinforcing material layer sequentially disposed on the surface of the pressure relief metal sheet away from the battery cell, and a number of V-shaped grooves are provided on the edge of the pressure relief metal sheet; The cover plate is also provided with a raised detonation point; the distance between the raised detonation point and the pressure relief valve composite diaphragm is 2mm~10mm, and the raised detonation point is located on the side of the pressure relief valve composite diaphragm away from the battery cell.

[0013] Preferably, in the horizontal direction, the distance between the reinforcing material layer and the inner edge of the notch is 0~5mm.

[0014] Preferably, the number of V-shaped grooves is 2 to 10; preferably, the opening angle of the V-shaped grooves is 45° to 80°.

[0015] Preferably, a C-shaped groove is provided on the composite diaphragm of the pressure relief valve in the area near the terminal post of the battery cell, and the V-shaped groove is evenly distributed around the C-shaped groove; more preferably, the distance between any two adjacent V-shaped grooves and C-shaped grooves is 1.5mm to 3mm; even more preferably, the depth of the V-shaped groove is 30% to 95% of the depth of the C-shaped groove.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) This invention provides a battery cell with a specific structure, mainly involving the optimization of the cover plate and the pressure relief valve in the cover plate. Specifically, this invention achieves a cumulative improvement of more than 100% in the accuracy of the pressure relief structure through the following three aspects: a) composite reinforcing material layer on the basis of traditional pressure relief sheet; b) forming multiple local explosion points through V-shaped grooves; and c) setting raised explosion points on the composite film.

[0026] The first aspect of the present invention is to provide a battery cell, the battery cell including a cell and a cover plate; obviously, the battery cell also contains necessary components such as a housing, electrical connectors, and insulation components for maintaining the function or structure of the battery cell, which are not limited in any way in the present invention. The present invention mainly focuses on the cover plate and the pressure relief functional components disposed on the cover plate, and provides detailed limitations and descriptions.

[0027] Specifically, a pressure relief valve composite diaphragm is provided on the cover plate; the pressure relief valve composite diaphragm includes: a pressure relief metal sheet, and an adhesive transition layer and a reinforcing material layer sequentially disposed on the surface of the pressure relief metal sheet away from the battery cell, and several V-shaped grooves are provided on the edge of the pressure relief metal sheet; the cover plate is also provided with a raised detonation point; the distance between the raised detonation point and the pressure relief valve composite diaphragm is 2mm~10mm, and the raised detonation point is disposed on the side of the pressure relief valve composite diaphragm away from the battery cell.

It is understood that, in the vertical direction, the pressure relief metal sheet in this invention is positioned closer to the battery cell than the cover plate, and since the total thickness of the pressure relief valve composite diaphragm is much lower than that of the cover plate, this recessed structure is formed.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the pressure relief metal sheet is made of aluminum alloy, more preferably one of Al3003-H14, MFX2 O-state aluminum alloy, and Al 1060-H18.

More preferably, 2 mm is used. It is worth noting that the "notch" mentioned here includes, but is not limited to, the V-shaped notch defined in this invention.

[0048] In a more preferred embodiment, the V-shaped grooves are evenly distributed around the C-shaped grooves, and the distance between any two adjacent V-shaped grooves and C-shaped grooves is 1.5mm to 3mm, preferably 2mm.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, the distance between the raised detonation point and the composite diaphragm of the pressure relief valve is also schematically illustrated, that is...

In some preferred embodiments, the number of raised detonation points is one to two.

[0055] A second aspect of the present invention is to provide a battery or electrical device; it is understood that, provided that it includes a battery cell as described in the first aspect, any integrated battery or battery pack, or any electrical device, can be used as an embodiment of this aspect.

[0066] (2) The hot chamber test was conducted as follows: First, the batteries prepared in each example and comparative example were left to stand for 30 minutes, charged to 3.8V at 1 / 3C (36.67A) constant current and constant voltage, then switched to constant voltage charging, and the current was cut off at 0.05C (5.5A). The batteries were left to stand for 1 hour. Then, they were transferred to a temperature chamber and heated to 80℃ at a rate of 2℃ / min and maintained for 120 minutes. Then, they were heated to 130℃ at a rate of 2℃ / min and maintained at this temperature for 30 minutes. After completing the above test steps, the batteries were observed at the test environment temperature for 1 hour. Then, the temperature chamber was increased by 5℃ at a rate of 2℃ / min and maintained for 30 minutes. This process was repeated until the battery thermal runaway was triggered, and the thermal runaway temperature was recorded.
