A typical energy storage cell includes a cover plate, casing, bare cell, insulating film, side plates, electrode assembly, and electrolyte.

Their positive and negative terminals can be set on the same cover plate, and the explosion-proof valve is set on the opposite cover plate to achieve thermal and electrical separation and improve the safety performance of the cell.

As the pressure decreases, the electrode assembly will move towards the explosion-proof valve under the impact of the high-temperature and high-pressure airflow inside the battery cell. This causes the front end of the electrode assembly to block the explosion-proof valve, which will significantly reduce the exhaust effect of the explosion-proof valve and thus weaken the safety performance of the battery cell.

Two bosses 112 are spaced apart along the second direction F2; each boss 112 has a mounting port 113 extending through it along the first direction F1, which communicates with the exhaust channel 13.

At the same time, it can ensure the strength of the shell 1 and the exhaust effect in case of thermal runaway.

[0040] like Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the boss 112 includes a mounting surface 1123 and a connecting surface 1124. The connecting surface 1124 includes a first connecting end 1121 and a second connecting end 1122 that are opposite to each other in the first direction F1.

The angle at which the first connecting end 1121 is inclined relative to the second connecting end 1122 toward the interior of the exhaust groove 13 is [value missing]. , satisfy: This is to ensure the yield rate of stamping the boss 112 and the structural strength of the shell 1.

[0041] Optionally, the mounting opening 113 is divided into a first mounting cavity 1131 and a second mounting cavity 1132 by a partition surface 1133, wherein the cross-sectional area of ​​the first mounting cavity 1131 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the second mounting cavity 1132. The two ends of the second mounting cavity 1132 in the second direction F2 are respectively connected to the first mounting cavity 1131 and the vent groove 13.

The area of ​​the region located within the outer contour of the fourth projected shape is... ; and satisfy: ,exist At that time, the mounting opening 113 was too large, which would affect the structural strength of the boss 112; At that time, the installation port 113 was too small, and the explosion-proof valve 2 was also too small, which would affect the exhaust efficiency during thermal runaway. At the same time, it can ensure the structural strength of the boss 112, and at the same time ensure the exhaust efficiency during thermal runaway.

[0043] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the battery cell also includes an electrode assembly, which includes an electrode group and an insulating film 3. Both the electrode group and the insulating film 3 are disposed within the receiving space 14.

This led to problems such as the explosion-proof valve 2 failing to open and the casing 1 tearing during thermal runaway. At that time, the volume of the exhaust groove 13 is relatively large, which will affect the structural strength of the shell 1 itself. At the same time, it can ensure the strength of the shell 1 and the exhaust effect in case of thermal runaway.

The parameters of the ten cells in each group were identical, while the parameters of the cells in different groups were different. , , , , , , , , and The values ​​are shown in the table below.

[0050] Test environment: The battery cell under test is placed in the thermal runaway test apparatus. A sheet-like heating element is arranged on the largest surface area of ​​the battery cell. The size of the sheet-like heating element is no larger than the area of ​​the largest surface area of ​​the battery cell, and the power of the heating element needs to be greater than [missing information].

The temperature sampling period is set to 1 second, and the test is set to continuously detect three temperature rise rate values ​​that are greater than or equal to... Alternatively, fire or explosion can be used as the criteria for determining thermal runaway. The test cell is then connected to the charging and discharging device and its voltage data sampling line. Experimental method: Perform constant current charging, start heating, and record time, voltage, current, temperature, and rate of temperature rise. Record experimental phenomena, including expansion, leakage, smoke, fire, explosion, shell rupture, and rupture location; trigger the judgment condition for thermal runaway or when the temperature reaches... Or the test time reaches When the time is up, stop the power supply and heating, observe for 1 hour, and record the time, voltage, current, temperature, temperature rise rate, and test phenomena, including expansion, leakage, smoke, fire, explosion, shell cracking, crack location, electrode group movement, electrode damage, and tray detachment.

[0051] The test results of 10 groups of battery cells are as follows:

[0052] Based on the table above, it can be seen that... At that time, the venting effect of the blade battery cell was poor, and the blade battery cell had problems such as the explosion-proof valve 2 failing to open in the event of thermal runaway and the casing 1 tearing. At that time, the venting effect of the blade battery cell was poor, and the blade battery cell had problems such as the explosion-proof valve 2 failing to open and the casing 1 tearing during thermal runaway. , At that time, the production of cover plate 4 was normal. When thermal runaway occurred in the blade cell, the explosion-proof valve 2 could be opened normally. The electrode group would not block the explosion-proof valve 2, and the high-temperature gas could be discharged through the explosion-proof valve 2, thus improving the safety performance of the blade cell.
