[0026] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a battery cell housing assembly is provided, comprising a housing or cover plate 10, an electrode assembly 20, a first insulating member 30, and a second insulating member 40. The specific structure of the battery cell housing assembly according to this embodiment as described above will be described below.

[0027] The outer casing of the battery cell includes a housing and a cover plate, which together form a closed cavity to house the electrode assembly 60. Both the housing and the cover plate are metal components, such as aluminum or steel.

[0028] In this embodiment, the housing or cover plate 10 has a first connection position 11 and a second connection position 12 formed on the same plane and spaced radially along the battery cell. That is, the portions of the battery cell used to lead out the first tab 61 and the second tab 62 (the first connection position 11 and the second connection position 12) are disposed on the same plane of the housing or on the surface of the cover plate. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, when the first connection position 11 and the second connection position 12 are provided on the housing, the first connection position 11 and the second connection position 12 are provided on the bottom wall of the housing.

[0029] Specifically, in this embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the first connection position 11 includes a first protrusion 111 protruding from the outer surface of the housing or cover plate 10 in the axial direction of the battery cell and a second protrusion 112 protruding from the inner surface of the housing or cover plate 10. That is, the first protrusion 111 protrudes outward of the battery cell and is used to connect the battery cell to the components that need to be connected, such as a busbar. The second protrusion 112 protrudes inward of the battery cell and is used to connect one of the first tab 61 and the second tab 62 on the electrode group 60. The second connection position 12 is formed as a through hole penetrating the housing or cover plate 10. The pole post assembly 20 is installed on the second connection position 12. The pole post assembly 20 is used to connect the other of the first tab 61 and the second tab 62 on the electrode group 60 and the components that need to be connected to the battery cell, such as a busbar.

[0030] The first insulating element 30 is disposed between the outer surface of the housing or cover plate 10 and the electrode assembly 20; the second insulating element 40 is disposed on the side of the housing or cover plate 10 facing the inside of the cell. The second insulating element 40 has a first connecting hole 41 for the second protrusion 112 to pass through and a second connecting hole 42 for the electrode assembly 20 to pass through. The first connecting hole 41 and the second connecting hole 42 are arranged at intervals along the radial direction of the cell and correspond to the second protrusion 112 and the electrode assembly 20 respectively in the axial direction of the cell, so as to achieve insulation protection between the electrode assembly 20 and the housing or cover plate 10 and between the electrode group 60 and the housing or cover plate 10, and ensure the safety performance of the cell. The first insulating element 30 and the second insulating element 40 are both plastic parts with insulating properties, such as PP or PPS materials.

[0031] The present invention enables the first tab 61 and the second tab 62 with opposite polarities to extend from the same side of the battery cell, thereby reducing the internal resistance of the battery cell. The first connection position 11 forms a concave-convex structure, which increases the rigidity of the shell or cover plate 10 to resist the impact of external forces, thereby improving the service life and safety performance of the battery cell. In addition, the height dimension of the first connection position 11 and the pole assembly 20 in the axial direction of the battery cell is shortened compared with the pole structure on the existing battery cell, which helps to improve the space utilization of the battery cell, thereby increasing the energy density of the battery cell.

[0032] In this embodiment, the first electrode 61 and the second electrode 62 have opposite polarities; optionally, the first electrode 61 is a positive electrode and the second electrode 62 is a negative electrode; in other optional embodiments, the first electrode 61 is a negative electrode and the second electrode 62 is a positive electrode.

[0033] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the cell axis is as follows: Figures 2 to 4 The vertical direction from a certain angle, the radial direction of the battery cell is as follows: Figures 2 to 4 The horizontal direction from the perspective of view.

[0034] In this embodiment, as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the second insulating member 40 is attached to the inner surface of the housing or cover plate 10 facing the cell. A partition 43 protruding towards the inside of the cell is formed on the second insulating member 40. The partition 43 is sandwiched between the first tab 61 and the second tab 62 in the radial direction of the cell. This separates the first tab 61 and the second tab 62 with opposite polarities, forming insulation protection and helping the tabs to close up to avoid the tabs overlapping and causing a short circuit.

[0035] Preferably, the separator 43 is formed as a strip structure, and the length direction of the separator 43 is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the first connecting position 11 and the second connecting position 12. Optionally, a groove is provided on the side of the separator 43 facing the outside of the battery cell to reduce the weight of the second insulating member 40, such as... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the partition 43 is provided with a third connecting hole 44, and the third connecting hole 44 is provided with multiple holes, at least some of which are connected to the exhaust passage on the electrode group 60 to meet the exhaust requirements.

[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, in the arrangement direction of the first connecting position 11 and the second connecting position 12, the width of the partition 43 is B, in mm; the distance between the first electrode 61 and the second electrode 62 is A, in mm; 10%≤B / A≤95%, thus avoiding poor insulation effect of the second insulating member 40 due to the size of B / A being too small, increasing the risk of insulation failure between the first electrode 61 and the second electrode 62, and also avoiding damage to the electrode due to the size of B / A being too large. The reliability of the 10%≤B / A≤95% limit condition in this invention was verified through multiple sets of cell assembly tests. After each set of cells was assembled, insulation tests and CT tests were performed on the cells. The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0037] Table 1

[0038] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the first protrusion 111 is formed into a ring structure, such as a semi-circular, circular, or polygonal ring structure, and the second protrusion 112 is disposed within the ring area enclosed by the first protrusion 111; as Figure 4 As shown, in the radial direction of the battery cell, the distance between the outer annular wall of the first protrusion 111 and the inner annular wall of the first protrusion 111 is L, where L≥2mm. This ensures that the battery cell can be smoothly welded to external connecting components, especially meeting the welding requirements with the busbar.

[0039] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the distance between the side of the first protrusion 111 facing the outside of the cell and the outer surface of the housing or cover plate 10 is C1, in mm; in the axial direction of the cell, the distance between the side of the pole assembly 20 facing the outside of the cell and the outer surface of the housing or cover plate 10 is C, in mm; 0 < C1 / C ≤ 1, so as to avoid the excessively large parameter of C1 / C occupying the height of the cell in the axial direction, affecting the space utilization of the cell, and also to avoid the size of C1 / C being too small, affecting the rigidity of the cell housing assembly and making it easy to deform.

[0040] The reliability of the limiting condition 0<C1 / C≤1 in this invention is verified by assembling multiple sets of battery cells with different C and C1 sizes. In each embodiment or comparative example, multiple battery cells with the same C and C1 sizes are assembled. The test results are shown in Table 2.

[0041] Table 2

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, the first connection position 11 further includes a second recess 114 formed on the outer surface of the housing or cover plate 10 along the cell axial direction and a first recess 113 formed on the inner surface of the housing or cover plate 10. The first recess 113 and the first protrusion 111 are arranged opposite to each other along the cell axial direction, and the second recess 114 and the second protrusion are arranged opposite to each other along the cell axial direction, so that the first connection position 11 forms a concave-convex structure to reduce the weight of the housing or cover plate 10 and help to improve rigidity. The first connection position 11 can be directly formed by stamping process.

[0043] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the pole assembly 20 includes a first pole 21 and a second pole 22 that are separately arranged. The first pole 21 and the second pole 22 can be fixed by welding after assembly and positioning.

[0044] Specifically, the first pole post 21 has a first mounting portion 211 and a second mounting portion 212 protruding radially outward at both ends along the axial direction of the battery cell. That is, the circumferential sidewall of the first pole post 21 has the first mounting portion 211 and the second mounting portion 212 protruding radially outward. The first mounting portion 211 and the second mounting portion 212 are positioned opposite each other at the two ends along the axial direction of the first pole post 21. Specifically, the first mounting portion 211 is located outside the battery cell, and the second mounting portion 212 is located inside the battery cell. The first mounting portion 211 and the second mounting portion 212 can be formed as an annular plate structure, such as... Figure 4 As shown, a portion of the first insulating member 30 is sandwiched between the first mounting portion 211 and the outer surface of the housing or cover plate 10, and a portion of the second insulating member 40 is sandwiched between the second mounting portion 212 and the inner surface of the housing or cover plate 10.

[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, the first electrode post 21 has a receiving groove 213 on the side facing the outside of the battery cell; the second electrode post 22 is formed into a block structure and is assembled in the receiving groove 213, with the end of the second electrode post 22 extending out of the receiving groove 213 on the axial direction of the battery cell.

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second pole post 22 and the first protrusion 111 are used to connect to the busbar as described above, so that the second pole post 22 occupies the space in the receiving groove 213 of the first pole post 21, which can reduce the distance between the second pole post 22 and the outer surface of the housing or cover plate 10, thereby reducing the space occupied by the pole post assembly 20 in the axial direction of the cell.

[0047] In a first alternative implementation, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the groove wall of the receiving groove 213 has a stepped portion 2131, and the second pole post 22 abuts against the stepped portion 2131. The stepped portion 2131 is provided on the opening side of the receiving groove 213. The stepped portion 2131 is formed by the groove wall of the receiving groove 213 being recessed inward along the radial direction of the battery cell, so that the stepped portion 2131 forms an annular groove structure. The circumferential sidewall of the second pole post 22 has a boss that abuts against the stepped portion 2131, thereby fixing the position of the second pole post 22 in the axial direction of the battery cell.

[0048] In a second alternative implementation, such as Figure 3As shown, the groove wall of the receiving groove 213 has a stepped portion 2131, and the second pole post 22 abuts against the stepped portion 2131. The stepped portion 2131 is located on the bottom side of the receiving groove 213. The stepped portion 2131 is formed by the groove wall of the receiving groove 213 protruding outward along the radial direction of the battery cell, so that the stepped portion 2131 forms an annular protrusion structure. The bottom of the second pole post 22 abuts against the surface of the stepped portion 2131 facing the outside of the battery cell, thereby fixing the position of the second pole post 22 in the axial direction of the battery cell. Furthermore, in this embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the battery cell housing assembly also includes a sealing element 50; the sealing element 50 is formed as an annular structure sleeved on the first pole post 21, and the sealing element 50 can be an elastic sealing ring; in the axial direction of the battery cell, part of the sealing element 50 is sandwiched between the first insulating element 30 and the second mounting part 212, and part of the sealing element 50 is sandwiched between the inner surface of the housing or cover plate 10 and the second mounting part 212, so that the sealing element 50 generates two compressions after assembly, thus ensuring the sealing performance of the battery cell housing assembly.

[0049] According to a battery cell housing assembly provided by the present invention, the housing or cover plate has a first connection position and a second connection position formed at radial intervals along the battery cell and disposed on the same plane; the first connection position includes a first protrusion protruding from the outer surface of the housing or cover plate in the axial direction of the battery cell and a second protrusion protruding from the inner surface of the housing or cover plate; the second connection position is formed as a through hole penetrating the housing or cover plate; an electrode assembly is installed at the second connection position; a first insulating member is disposed between the outer surface of the housing or cover plate and the electrode assembly; the second insulating member is disposed on the side of the housing or cover plate facing the inside of the battery cell, and the second insulating member has a second connection position for the battery cell to be connected. The protrusion passes through a first connecting hole and a second connecting hole for the electrode assembly to pass through; the first and second tabs with opposite polarities on the electrode assembly are respectively connected to the second protrusion and the electrode assembly, so that the first and second tabs with opposite polarities can extend from the same side of the cell, reducing the internal resistance of the cell. The first connection position has a protrusion, which increases the rigidity of the shell or cover to resist the impact of external forces, improves the service life and safety performance of the cell. In addition, the height dimension of the first connection position and the electrode assembly in the axial direction of the cell is shortened compared with the electrode structure on the existing cell, which helps to improve the space utilization of the cell, thereby increasing the energy density of the cell.

[0050] The battery cell provided by the present invention includes the battery cell housing assembly as described above, and thus has all the above-mentioned beneficial effects, which will not be repeated here.
