[0024] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0025] Existing multi-core batteries have relatively close contact between adjacent cores, resulting in a lower electrolyte penetration rate and slower heat dissipation. This also means that the battery has less room for expansion in the later stages of its lifespan, posing certain safety risks.

[0026] Based on this, the present invention provides a battery cell and an electrical device including the battery cell, in order to improve the technical problem that the close contact between the cores in existing multi-core batteries leads to a low electrolyte penetration rate and slow heat dissipation.

[0027] The electrical equipment mentioned in this invention can be vehicles, ships, spacecraft, power tools, etc. Vehicles can be gasoline-powered vehicles, natural gas-powered vehicles, or new energy vehicles; new energy vehicles can be pure electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, or range-extended electric vehicles, etc. Power tools include metal cutting power tools, grinding power tools, assembly power tools, and railway power tools, such as electric drills, electric grinders, electric wrenches, electric screwdrivers, electric hammers, impact drills, concrete vibrators, and electric planers, etc. This application does not impose any special limitations on the aforementioned electrical equipment.

[0028] The battery cell provided by the present invention includes a housing, an electrode assembly, a separator, and a cover plate; the cell assembly is disposed in an accommodating cavity, and the cell assembly includes multiple cores, which are stacked and a gap is formed between adjacent cores.

[0029] The battery cell provided by the present invention, by setting a gap between adjacent cores and setting a separator in the gap, provides expansion space for the cores while increasing the heat dissipation speed of the cores and improving the electrolyte penetration rate between adjacent cores.

[0030] The following detailed description of the overall structure, working principle, and technical effects of the battery cell and electrical equipment provided by the present invention, through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, is a practical example.

[0031] Example 1: Please see Figure 1 This embodiment provides a battery cell, including a housing 100, an electrode assembly 400, a separator 200, and a cover plate 300; wherein, the housing 100 has an open accommodating cavity, and the cover plate 300 is disposed on the open end of the housing 100 and seals the accommodating cavity. The cell assembly 400 is disposed in the accommodating cavity and includes a plurality of cores 410, which are stacked and gaps are formed between adjacent cores 410.

[0032] In this embodiment, the separator 200 includes a first separator 210, a second separator 220, and a first support side plate 230; wherein the first separator 210 and the second separator 220 are arranged at intervals, and the first separator 210 and the second separator 220 are connected by a plurality of first support side plates 230.

[0033] Understandably, since the first separator 210 and the second separator 220 are connected by a plurality of first support side plates 230, the first separator 210, the second separator 220 and the plurality of first support side plates 230 form a compressible structure, thereby providing an expandable space for the electrode.

[0034] In one specific embodiment, two first support side plates 230 are provided; the first separator 210 and the second separator 220 each have a first end and a second end, one of the first support side plates 230 is used to connect the first ends of the first separator 210 and the second separator 220, and the other first support side plate 230 is used to connect the second ends of the first separator 210 and the second separator 220; the two ends of the first support side plate 230 connected to the first separator 210 and the second separator 220 are configured to allow movement so that the gap between the first separator 210 and the second separator 220 can be compressed when the core 410 expands in volume.

[0035] In other embodiments, the number of first support side plates 230 can be adjusted according to actual working needs. For example, the number of first support side plates 230 can also be 3, 4, 5, etc., which are not limited here.

[0036] Furthermore, in order to improve the penetration rate of the electrolyte, in this embodiment, the first separator 210 is provided with a plurality of first through holes 211 and the second separator 220 is provided with a plurality of second through holes 221. The plurality of first through holes 211 and second through holes 221 are arranged concentrically or staggered along the stacking direction of the core 410.

[0037] Specifically, multiple first through holes 211 and second through holes 221 are opened one-to-one. The first through holes 211 and second through holes 221 are concentrically arranged along the stacking direction of the core 410, meaning that the axes of the corresponding first through holes 211 and second through holes 221 coincide along the stacking direction of the core 410. The first through holes 211 and second through holes 221 are staggered along the stacking direction of the core 410, meaning that the axes of the corresponding first through holes 211 and second through holes 221 are not on the same line along the stacking direction of the core 410.

[0038] The battery cell provided in this embodiment has, on the one hand, a first separator 210, a second separator 220 and a first support side plate 230 arranged between adjacent cores 410, and a compressible space between the first separator 210 and the second separator 220, providing space for the core 410 to expand in volume; on the other hand, the first separator 210 and the second separator 220 are provided with a first through hole 211 and a second through hole 221, through which electrolyte can permeate, thereby improving the permeation rate of electrolyte between adjacent cores 410.

[0039] Example 2: Please see Figure 2 This embodiment provides a battery cell whose overall structure, working principle, and technical effect are similar to those of Embodiment 1. The difference from Embodiment 1 is that the separator 200 further includes a supporting inclined plate 240. The supporting inclined plate 240 can replace the first supporting side plate 230, or work together with the first supporting side plate 230 to form a compressible support structure between the first separator 210 and the second separator 220.

[0040] Specifically, the first partition 210 is provided with a first connecting end 210a, and the second partition 220 is provided with a second connecting end 220a on the side away from the first connecting end 210a; one end of the supporting inclined plate 240 is connected to the first connecting end 210a, and the other end of the supporting inclined plate 240 is connected to the second connecting end 220a, so that the first partition 210, the supporting inclined plate 240, and the second partition 220 form a compressible "Z"-shaped structure, and are inclinedly supported between the first partition 210 and the second partition 220.

[0041] The two ends of the support sloping plate 240 connected to the first separator 210 and the second separator 220 are configured to be movable so that the gap between the first separator 210 and the second separator 220 can be compressed when the core 410 expands in volume.

[0042] Example 3: Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 This embodiment provides a battery cell, similar to Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, including a housing 100, an electrode assembly 400, a separator 200, and a cover plate 300; the difference from Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2 is that the separator 200 includes a third separator 250, a fourth separator 260, a first support base plate 270, and at least one foldable separator unit 280.

[0043] In this embodiment, the third separator 250 and the fourth separator 260 are connected by the first support base plate 270. The third separator 250 and the fourth separator 260 are disposed between the core 410 and the housing 100 to separate the core 410 and the housing 100.

[0044] Specifically, the third separator 250 and the fourth separator 260 are disposed between the side of the core 410 with a relatively large area and the inner side of the housing 100 to separate the core 410 and the housing 100; the first support base plate 270 is disposed between the bottom surface of the core 410 and the inner side of the housing 100. The third separator 250, the fourth separator 270 and the first support base plate 270 are arranged to wrap around multiple cores 410 to separate the multiple cores 410 from the housing 100.

[0045] In this embodiment, the relatively small side of the core 410 is separated from the inner side of the housing 100, and adjacent cores 410 are separated by a foldable partition unit 280. The foldable partition unit 280 includes a third support side plate 281 and a fifth partition 282. The fifth partition 282 is connected to the third partition 250 through the third support side plate 281 and is disposed in the gap 420 to separate adjacent cores 410.

[0046] It is understandable that the third partition 250, the fourth partition 260, the third support side plate 281, the fifth partition 282, and the first support base plate 270 are allowed to be bent in order to facilitate the arrangement of the third partition 250, the fourth partition 260, the third support side plate 281, and the fifth partition 282.

[0047] Furthermore, the foldable partition unit 280 is disposed on one side of the third partition 250, and the third partition 250 is provided with a second support side plate 251 on the side away from the foldable partition unit 280.

[0048] Understandably, the core 410 has two relatively small sides, one of which is separated from the inside of the housing 100 by a third support side plate 281, and the other side is separated from the inside of the housing 100 by a second support side plate 251.

[0049] Example 4: Please see Figure 5 This embodiment provides a battery cell whose overall structure, working principle, and technical effect are similar to those of Embodiment 3. The difference between Embodiment 3 and Embodiment 3 is that the number of cores 410 is greater than two.

[0050] In this embodiment, the number of cores 410 is n, and the number of foldable divider units 280 is n-1, where n>2. The foldable divider units 280 are disposed between adjacent cores 410 to separate adjacent cores 410.

[0051] Figure 5 The diagram shows the planar unfolded structure of the divider 200 when there are 4 cores 410 (n=4). At this time, there are 3 foldable divider units 280, which are sequentially connected to one side of the third divider 250.

[0052] For ease of understanding and description, the four cores 410 are referred to as the first core A, the second core B, the third core C, and the fourth core D, and the three foldable divider units 280 are referred to as foldable divider unit E, foldable divider unit F, and foldable divider unit G. The first core A, the second core B, the third core C, and the fourth core D are stacked sequentially, with the first core A and the fourth core D set close to the inner side of the housing 100. As can be understood, the first core A is separated from the housing 100 by the third divider 250, the fourth core D is separated from the housing 100 by the fourth divider 260, the first core A is separated from the second core B by the foldable divider unit E, the second core B is separated from the third core C by the foldable divider unit F, the third core C is separated from the fourth core D by the foldable divider unit G, and the bottom surfaces of the four cores 410 are separated from the inner side of the housing 100 by the first support base plate 270.

[0053] It should be noted that, Figure 5 The dimensions of each component shown are for illustrative purposes only and are not actual dimensions. Users can adjust the dimensions of each component according to actual working needs. For example, as the number of core 410 facilities increases, the dimensions of the first support base plate 270 and the second support side plate 251 should be increased accordingly to completely separate the core 410 from the housing 100.

[0054] Example 5: Please see Figure 6 This embodiment provides a battery cell whose overall structure, working principle, and technical effect are similar to those of Embodiment 4. The difference from Embodiment 4 is that the number of winding cores 410 is two, the number of foldable dividing units 280 is also two, and the two foldable dividing units 280 are disposed on both sides of the third dividing member 250 along the length of the winding core.

[0055] In this embodiment, two foldable dividing units 280 are disposed on both sides of the third dividing member 250, and can be configured between two adjacent cores 410 when folded in opposite directions to isolate the two adjacent cores 410.

[0056] Compared to Embodiment 4, the battery cell provided in this embodiment has a reduced dimension of the separator 200 in the length direction.

[0057] Example 6: Please see Figure 7 and Figure 8 This embodiment provides a battery cell whose working principle and technical effect are similar to those of embodiments three to five. The difference is that the separator 200 includes a sixth separator 290, a second separator base plate 2100, a seventh separator 2110, and at least one eighth separator 2120. The sixth separator 290 is also provided with a fourth support side plate 291 and a fifth support side plate 292 on both sides along the length direction of the core 410.

[0058] In this embodiment, the eighth separator 2120 is disposed in the gap 420 between adjacent cores 410 to separate adjacent cores 410.

[0059] Specifically, when there are two cores 410, the sixth separator 260 and the seventh separator 2110 are disposed between the side of the core 410 with a relatively larger area and the inner side of the housing 100 to separate the core 410 and the housing 100; the second separator base plate 2100 is disposed between the bottom surface of the core 410 and the inner side of the housing 100. The sixth separator 260, the seventh separator 2110 and the second separator base plate 2100 are disposed to enclose multiple cores 410 to separate the multiple cores 410 from the housing 100.

[0060] In this embodiment, the side of the core 410 with a relatively small area is separated from the inner side of the housing 100 by the fourth support side plate 291 and the fifth support side plate 292; the eighth separator 2120 is disposed in the gap 420 to separate adjacent cores 410.

[0061] Example 7: This embodiment provides a battery cell whose overall structure, working principle, and technical effects are similar to those of Embodiment Six. The difference is that the number of winding cores 410 is greater than two.

[0062] In this embodiment, the number of cores 410 is n, and the number of eighth separators 2120 is n-1, where n>2. The eighth separators 2120 are disposed between adjacent cores 410 to separate adjacent cores 410.

[0063] For example, when the number of cores 410 is 4 (m=4), for ease of understanding and description, the 4 cores 410 are referred to as the first core A, the second core B, the third core C and the fourth core D, and the 3 eighth dividers 2120 are referred to as the eighth dividers E, the eighth dividers F and the eighth dividers G. The first core A and the fourth core D are set close to the inner side of the housing 100; understandably, the first core A is separated from the housing 100 by the sixth separator 290, the fourth core D is separated from the housing 100 by the seventh separator 2110, the first core A is separated from the second core B by the eighth separator E, the second core B is separated from the third core C by the eighth separator F, the third core C is separated from the fourth core D by the eighth separator G, and the bottom surfaces of the four cores 410 are separated from the inner side of the housing 100 by the second dividing bottom plate 2100.

[0064] It should be noted that, Figure 9 The dimensions of each component shown are for illustrative purposes only and are not actual dimensions. Users can adjust the dimensions of each component according to actual working needs. For example, as the number of core 410 facilities increases, the dimensions of the fourth support side plate 291, the fifth support side plate 292, and the second partition bottom plate 2100 should be increased accordingly to completely separate the core 410 from the housing 100.

[0065] The battery cell provided by the present invention provides expansion space for the core 410 by setting a gap 420 between adjacent cores 410 and setting a separator 200 in the gap 420, while increasing the heat dissipation speed of the core 410 and improving the electrolyte penetration rate between adjacent cores 410.

[0066] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
