[0060] As an example, the composite solid electrolyte is formed by adding an inorganic solid electrolyte filler to a polymer solid electrolyte.
[0061] In some embodiments, the electrode assembly is a wound structure. Optionally, the electrode assembly is a cylindrical wound structure.
[0062] In some embodiments, the battery cell may include a housing. The housing is used to encapsulate components such as the electrode assembly and the electrolyte.

[0065] In some embodiments, the battery may be a battery pack, which includes a case and battery cells, wherein the battery cells or battery modules are accommodated in the case.
[0066] In some embodiments, the box body can be used as a part of the chassis structure of the vehicle.

[0067] In some embodiments, the battery may be an energy storage device, which includes an energy storage container, an energy storage cabinet, and the like.
[0068] In the cylindrical battery cells of the related art, a current collecting component is usually provided, and the multiple tabs in the pole piece are usually firmly connected to the current collecting component by passing through the current collecting component and then welding to the side of the current collecting component. Since the pole piece in the cylindrical battery cell is usually wound, the tabs on the pole piece may be misaligned (miss the preset position) during the winding process, and the tabs on the pole piece closer to the outer ring are more likely to be misaligned, making it difficult for the current collecting component to align with the tabs, making it difficult for the tabs to pass through the current collecting component smoothly, causing abnormal connection and reducing the reliability of the battery cell.
[0069] In order to enable the pole ear to be well aligned with the current collecting component, reduce connection abnormalities, and improve the reliability of the battery cell, some embodiments of the present application provide a battery cell, which includes a shell, an electrode assembly, an electrode lead-out piece and a current collecting component, the electrode assembly is accommodated in the shell, the pole sheet in the electrode assembly is wound along a winding direction and has a plurality of pole ears at its end in a first direction, the first direction is perpendicular to the winding direction, the current collecting component is electrically connected to the electrode lead-out piece arranged on the shell, the current collecting component is provided with a plurality of channels passing through the current collecting component along the first direction, each pole ear passes through the channel and is connected to the current collecting component, the plurality of channels include a first channel and a second channel, in the winding direction, the pole ear passing through the first channel is closer to the inner end of the pole sheet than the pole ear passing through the second channel, along the winding direction, the length of the first channel is T1, the length of the second channel is T2, T2>T1. In the above structure, since the length T1 of the first channel through which the pole ear closer to the inner end of the pole piece passes is smaller in the winding direction, and the pole ear closer to the inner end of the pole piece is not easy to be misplaced during the winding process of the pole piece, the pole ear closer to the inner end of the pole piece can be well positioned on the current collecting component through the first channel with a smaller length in the winding direction; at the same time, since the length T2 of the second channel through which the pole ear farther away from the inner end of the pole piece passes is larger in the winding direction, even if the pole ear farther away from the inner end of the pole piece is misplaced, it can smoothly pass through the second channel to connect with the current collecting component, which is beneficial to improving the reliability of the battery cell.
[0070] The battery cells described in the embodiments of the present application are suitable for use in batteries and electrical devices using the batteries.

The electrode lead-out member 40 is disposed on the housing 20. The current collecting member 50 is electrically connected to the electrode lead-out member 40. The current collecting member 50 is provided with a plurality of channels 501. Each channel 501 passes through the current collecting member 50 along the first direction Y. Each pole ear 3012 passes through the channel 501 and is connected to the current collecting member 50. Figure 6 As shown, the multiple channels 501 include a first channel 5011 and a second channel 5012. In the winding direction X, the pole ear 3012 passing through the first channel 5011 is closer to the inner end of the pole piece 301 than the pole ear 3012 passing through the second channel 5012; along the winding direction X, the length of the first channel 5011 is T1, the length of the second channel 5012 is T2, and T2>T1.
[0090] The outer shell 20 is a component used to enclose a sealed space in the battery cell 7, which may include a shell 201 and two covers 202. The shell 201 is a hollow structure with openings on two opposite sides. One cover 202 corresponds to an opening of the shell 201 and forms a sealed connection to form a sealed space for accommodating the electrode assembly 30 and the electrolyte.
[0091] The electrode sheet 301 included in the electrode assembly 30 can be a positive electrode sheet or a negative electrode sheet with opposite polarities, and the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet can be used as the positive electrode and the negative electrode, respectively. Exemplarily, the electrode assembly 30 can also include a separator 303, which is stacked between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet to isolate the positive electrode sheet from the negative electrode sheet.
[0092] The electrode sheet 301 may be wound along the winding direction X. The stacked positive electrode sheet, negative electrode sheet and separator 303 in the electrode assembly 30 may be wound along the winding direction X. The electrode sheet 301 is wound along the winding direction X, so that the electrode assembly 30 has a wound structure.
[0093] The pole tab 3012 may be a portion provided on the pole piece 301 for electrically connecting to the electrode lead-out member 40 of the battery cell 7. By providing the pole tab 3012 at the end of the pole piece 301 along the first direction Y, the end of the pole piece 301 in the first direction Y can be connected to other components through the pole tab 3012, so that the pole piece 301 is electrically connected to the electrode lead-out member 40. By providing a plurality of pole tabs 3012 at intervals at the end of the pole piece 301 in the first direction Y, the pole piece 301 can transfer electric energy uniformly and stably with other components through the plurality of pole tabs 3012.
[0094] Since the first direction Y is perpendicular to the winding direction X, the pole ears 3012 can be arranged at both ends of the pole piece 301 perpendicular to the winding direction X, so that other components in the battery cell 7 can be arranged at both ends of the electrode assembly 30 .
[0095] The pole tab 3012 can be formed by cutting the pole piece 301, so that the pole tab 3012 on the pole piece 301 can be easily processed and formed. Exemplarily, the pole tab 3012 can be formed by cutting the pole piece 301 through a die-cutting process, so that the processing of the pole tab 3012 has high efficiency.
[0096] The electrode lead-out member 40 may be a component in the battery cell 7 for electrically connecting to an external device, and is used to output the electric energy in the battery cell 7 to the outside or charge the battery cell 7. The electrode lead-out member 40 is disposed on the housing 20, and at least a portion thereof extends into the housing 20 for electrically connecting to the tab 3012, and another portion thereof extends from the housing 20 for connecting to an external device.
[0097] Exemplarily, the electrode lead-out member 40 may be a columnar structure or a sheet structure, and those skilled in the art may set the shape of the electrode lead-out member 40 according to actual conditions so that the electrode lead-out member 40 can be easily connected to an external device.
[0098] The current collecting member 50 may be a component for connecting the plurality of tabs 3012. The current collecting member 50 is electrically connected to the electrode lead-out member 40, so that the electric energy output by the plurality of tabs 3012 can be collected on the current collecting member 50 and then transmitted to the electrode lead-out member 40.
[0099] The channel 501 may be a structure opened on the current collecting member 50 , which penetrates the current collecting member 50 along the first direction Y, so that the electrode tab 3012 can pass through the current collecting member 50 via the channel 501 .
[0100] Each pole lug 3012 passes through the channel 501 and is connected to the current collecting member 50, and each pole lug 3012 may pass through the channel 501 from one side of the current collecting member 50 to the other side of the current collecting member 50 along the first direction Y. The pole lug 3012 may be connected to the inner wall of the channel 501 to achieve connection with the current collecting member 50, or may be bent and connected to the side of the current collecting member 50 facing the first direction Y to achieve connection with the current collecting member 50. Exemplarily, each pole lug 3012 may pass through the channel 501 one by one, so that one pole lug 3012 passes through one channel 501; or multiple pole lugs 3012 may pass through at least one channel 501, which is conducive to reducing the number of channels 501 and simplifying the processing of the current collecting member 50.
[0101] The first channel 5011 and the second channel 5012 may be two different channels 501 among the multiple channels 501. The pole ear 3012 passing through the first channel 5011 is closer to the inner end of the pole piece 301 than the pole ear 3012 passing through the second channel 5012. The first channel 5011 may be closer to the inner end of the pole piece 301 than the second channel 5012, so that the pole ear 3012 passing through the first channel 5011 is closer to the inner end of the pole piece 301 than the pole ear 3012 passing through the second channel 5012. The length T1 of the first channel 5011 in the winding direction X is the length of the inner side of the two opposite ends of the first channel 5011 in the winding direction X, and the length T2 of the second channel 5012 in the winding direction X is the length of the inner side of the two opposite ends of the second channel 5012 in the winding direction X. The length of the second channel 5012 in the winding direction X is set to T2. By setting T2>T1, the active space of the pole lug 3012 passing through the first channel 5011 in the winding direction X is smaller, so that the first channel 5011 can define the position of the pole lug 3012 more accurately, so that the first channel 5011 with a smaller length in the winding direction X can position the current collecting member 50 more accurately; at the same time, the active space of the pole lug 3012 passing through the second channel 5012 in the winding direction X is larger, so that the second channel 5012 can better accommodate the pole lug 3012 that is misplaced in the winding direction X, so that the pole lug 3012 can smoothly pass through the second channel 5012 even if it is misplaced.
[0102] In the above structure, since the length T1 of the first channel 5011 through which the pole ear 3012 closer to the inner end of the pole piece 301 passes is smaller in the winding direction X, and the pole ear 3012 closer to the inner end of the pole piece 301 is not easy to be misplaced during the winding process of the pole piece 301, the pole ear 3012 closer to the inner end of the pole piece 301 can be well positioned on the current collecting component 50 through the first channel 5011 with a smaller length in the winding direction X; at the same time, since the length T2 of the second channel 5012 through which the pole ear 3012 farther from the inner end of the pole piece 301 passes is larger in the winding direction X, even if the pole ear 3012 farther from the inner end of the pole piece 301 is misplaced, it can smoothly pass through the second channel 5012 to connect with the current collecting component 50, which is beneficial to improving the reliability of the battery cell 7.
[0103] In some embodiments, the battery cell 7 further includes a converter 60 , the current collecting member 50 and the electrode lead-out member 40 are spaced apart along the first direction Y, and the converter 60 connects the electrode lead-out member 40 and the current collecting member 50 .
[0104] The adapter 60 may be a member for connecting the current collecting member 50 with the electrode lead-out member 40. Since the current collecting member 50 and the electrode lead-out member 40 are spaced apart in the first direction Y, the adapter 60 can conveniently electrically connect the current collecting member 50 with the electrode lead-out member 40.
[0105] Exemplarily, the adapter 60 can be connected to the current collecting component 50 by welding. Welding can melt the materials of the adapter 60 and the current collecting component 50 together, which is not only beneficial to improve the connection strength between the adapter 60 and the current collecting component 50, but also beneficial to reduce the resistance at the connection between the two, which helps to improve the power performance of the battery cell 7.
[0106] In some embodiments, the adapter 60 can be connected to the current collecting member 50 by laser welding. Since laser welding has the characteristics of small heat affected zone and easy automation control, connecting the adapter 60 to the current collecting member 50 by laser welding is not only conducive to improving welding quality, but also conducive to improving production efficiency.
[0107] In some embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, the adapter 60 and the current collecting member 50 are an integrally formed structure. The adapter 60 and the current collecting member 50 can be made by an integrally formed processing method such as a stamping process, so that the adapter 60 and the current collecting member 50 can be synchronously manufactured as a whole, which not only makes the processing and manufacturing of the adapter 60 and the current collecting member 50 convenient, but also makes the overall structure formed by the adapter 60 and the current collecting member 50 have good strength; the adapter 60 and the current collecting member 50 can also be made by a mechanical processing method such as a die cutting process by processing a whole piece of blank, so that the overall structure formed by the adapter 60 and the current collecting member 50 has a lower processing difficulty and processing cost.
[0108] In some embodiments, the end of the adapter 60 away from the current collecting member 50 is welded to the electrode lead-out member 40 .
[0109] Since welding can melt the materials of the adapter 60 and the electrode lead-out member 40 together, it is not only beneficial to improve the connection strength between the adapter 60 and the electrode lead-out member 40, but also beneficial to reduce the resistance at the connection between the two, which helps to improve the power performance of the battery cell 7.
[0110] In some embodiments, the adapter 60 can be connected to the electrode lead-out member 40 by laser welding. Since laser welding has the characteristics of small heat-affected zone and easy automation control, connecting the adapter 60 to the electrode lead-out member 40 by laser welding is not only conducive to improving welding quality, but also conducive to improving production efficiency.
[0111] In some embodiments, the current collecting member 50 is provided with a through hole 502 penetrating along the first direction Y, the electrode assembly 30 has a central hole 302 , and the through hole 502 and the central hole 302 are arranged opposite to each other in the first direction Y.
[0112] The central hole 302 in the electrode assembly 30 may be a space located in the middle of the electrode assembly 30 formed after the pole piece 301 in the electrode assembly 30 is wound. The through hole 502 may be a hole-like structure formed by removing material on the current collecting member 50, which penetrates the current collecting member 50 along the first direction Y. The through hole 502 and the central hole 302 are arranged opposite to each other in the first direction Y, and may be that along the first direction Y, the through hole 502 and the central hole 302 at least partially overlap, so that the through hole 502 and the central hole 302 can be connected, and can serve as a channel 501 for injecting electrolyte. Exemplarily, the through hole 502 and the central hole 302 may be coaxially arranged so that the through hole 502 and the central hole 302 are directly opposite to each other, so as to facilitate the arrangement of the relative positions of the electrode assembly 30 and the current collecting member 50.
[0113] Exemplarily, the through hole 502 may be manufactured simultaneously with the current collecting member 50 by a stamping process, which is beneficial to improving the processing efficiency of the current collecting member 50 .
[0114] In some embodiments, the minimum distance between the first channel 5011 and the through hole 502 along the radial direction of the electrode assembly 30 is L1, and the radial dimension of the electrode assembly 30 is L2.
[0115] The radial dimension L2 of the electrode assembly 30 may refer to the thickness of the electrode assembly 30 in the radial direction, and the minimum distance L1 between the first channel 5011 and the through hole 502 in the radial direction of the electrode assembly 30 may refer to the shortest distance between the edge of the first channel 5011 and the edge of the through hole 502. The position of the first channel 5011 is made closer to the inner end of the pole piece 301 in the electrode assembly 30, and the pole ear 3012 passing through the first channel 5011 is made closer to the inner end of the pole piece 301, so that the position of the pole ear 3012 passing through the first channel 5011 is not easy to be misplaced, and the cooperation between the pole ear 3012 passing through the first channel 5011 and the first channel 5011 can better position the current collecting component 50, which is beneficial to improving the positioning accuracy of the current collecting component 50.
[0116] In some embodiments, the first channel 5011 is a rectangular channel 501 .
[0117] The rectangular channel 501 may refer to a channel 501 having a rectangular cross-sectional shape perpendicular to the first direction Y. Since the pole piece 301 in the electrode assembly 30 is wound, by setting the first channel 5011 as a rectangular channel 501, when the pole lug 3012 extending from the pole piece 301 is inserted into the first channel 5011, the cooperation between the first channel 5011 and the pole lug 3012 can better limit the rotation of the current collecting member 50, which helps to improve the positioning effect of the current collecting member 50.
[0118] Exemplarily, the first channel 5011 may also be configured as a channel 501 of other shapes other than the arc-shaped channel 501 , such as a triangular channel 501 , so that the first channel 5011 can better restrict the movement of the pole ear 3012 passing through the first channel 5011 .
[0119] In some embodiments, the second channel 5012 is an arc-shaped channel 501 , and the arc-shaped channel 501 extends along the winding direction X.
[0120] The arc-shaped channel 501 may refer to a channel 501 having an arc-shaped cross-section perpendicular to the first direction Y. Since the pole piece 301 in the electrode assembly 30 is wound, by setting the second channel 5012 as the arc-shaped channel 501 and extending along the winding direction X, the pole ear 3012 can pass through the second channel 5012 even if it is misaligned in the winding direction X during the winding process of the pole piece 301, so as to be connected to the current collecting member 50.
[0121] In some embodiments, in the radial direction of the electrode assembly 30 , the first channel 5011 and the second channel 5012 at least partially overlap.
[0122] By making the first channel 5011 and the second channel 5012 at least partially overlap in the radial direction of the electrode assembly 30, the second channel 5012 has a sufficient length in the winding direction X, so that the electrode tab 3012 can smoothly pass through the second channel 5012, and even if it is misaligned in the winding direction X, it can still pass through the second channel 5012 to be connected to the current collecting member 50.
[0123] In some embodiments, the pole piece 301 is wound into multiple turns, and the multiple pole ears 3012 are respectively located in different turn layers.
[0124] By winding the pole piece 301 into multiple turns and arranging the multiple pole ears 3012 to extend from different turns of the pole piece 301, the multiple pole ears 3012 can be arranged at relatively uniform intervals along the winding direction X of the pole piece 301, which is conducive to more uniform extraction of the current on the pole piece 301.
[0125] In some embodiments, in the radial direction of the electrode assembly 30 , two adjacent second channels 5012 at least partially overlap.
[0126] By making two adjacent second channels 5012 at least partially overlap in the radial direction of the electrode assembly 30, the second channel 5012 has a sufficient length in the winding direction X, so that the electrode tab 3012 can smoothly pass through the second channel 5012, and even if it is misaligned in the winding direction X, it can still pass through the second channel 5012 to be connected to the current collecting member 50.
[0127] In some embodiments, Figure 8 As shown, the second channel 5012 includes a first portion 50121 and a second portion 50122 connected along the winding direction X; in the radial direction of the electrode assembly 30, the size of the second portion 50122 is H2, the size of the first portion 50121 is H1, and H1>H2.
[0128] The first portion 50121 and the second portion 50122 are different portions in the second channel 5012 that are connected to each other, and the two portions are connected along the winding direction X. Exemplarily, two second portions 50122 are provided, and the two second portions 50122 are connected to both ends of the first portion 50121 in the winding direction X, respectively.
[0129] The size of the second portion 50122 in the radial direction of the electrode assembly 30 is set to H2, and the size of the first portion 50121 in the radial direction of the electrode assembly 30 is set to H1. By making H1>H2, the second channel 5012 has a larger portion in the radial direction of the electrode assembly 30, so that even if the electrode tab 3012 is misaligned in the radial direction of the electrode assembly 30, it can pass through the second channel 5012 by passing through the first portion 50121, so that the electrode tab 3012 can pass through the second channel 5012 more easily and smoothly, and is convenient for connection with the current collecting component 50.
[0130] In some embodiments, at least one channel 501 is a groove recessed inward from the outer circumference of the current collecting member 50 .
[0131] At least one channel 501 is a groove recessed inward from the outer peripheral surface of the current collecting component 50, which may mean that the second channel 5012 located at the outermost side in the radial direction of the current collecting component 50 is formed by a groove recessed inward from the outer peripheral surface of the current collecting component 50, and the second channel 5012 can be connected to the outer peripheral surface of the current collecting component 50, so that the pole ear 3012 on the pole piece 301 of the outermost circle can smoothly pass through the second channel 5012 connected to the outer peripheral surface of the current collecting component 50, so as to be firmly connected to the current collecting component 50.
[0132] In some embodiments, the tab 3012 is welded to the current collecting member 50 .
[0133] Since welding can melt the materials of the pole tab 3012 and the current collecting member 50 together, it is not only beneficial to improve the connection strength between the pole tab 3012 and the current collecting member 50, but also beneficial to reduce the resistance at the connection between the two, which helps to improve the power performance of the battery cell 7.
[0134] In some embodiments, the tab 3012 can be connected to the current collecting member 50 by laser welding. Since laser welding has the characteristics of small heat affected zone and easy automation control, connecting the tab 3012 to the current collecting member 50 by laser welding is not only conducive to improving welding quality, but also conducive to improving production efficiency.
[0135] Exemplarily, the electrode tab 3012 is connected to the side of the current collecting member 50 facing the electrode lead-out member 40 by welding.
[0136] In some embodiments, the battery cell 7 further includes an insulating member 70, such as Fig. 9 As shown, the pole piece 301 further includes a pole piece body 3011 connected to the pole ear 3012, and the insulating member 70 is disposed between the pole piece body 3011 and the current collecting member 50. Fig.10 As shown, the insulating member 70 is provided with a third channel 701 penetrating along the first direction Y, and the electrode tab 3012 passes through the third channel 701 to be connected with the current collecting member 50 .
[0137] The pole piece body 3011 may be the main part of the pole piece 301 , and the pole ear 3012 is connected to the end of the pole piece body 3011 in the first direction Y and extends outward.
[0138] The insulating member 70 may be a sheet-like component with insulating properties. The insulating member 70 is disposed between the pole piece body 3011 and the current collecting member 50, so as to achieve insulation isolation between the pole piece body 3011 and the current collecting member 50. The third channel 701 may be a hole-like structure that is opened on the insulating member 70 and penetrates in the first direction Y. A plurality of third channels 701 are disposed in one-to-one correspondence with a plurality of channels 501. The pole tab 3012 passes through the third channel 701 and the channel 501 and is connected to the current collecting member 50, so that the pole tab 3012 is connected to the electrode lead-out member 40 through the current collecting member 50 and the adapter 60.
[0139] In some embodiments, the electrode assembly 30 is configured as a cylindrical wound structure.
[0140] The electrode sheet 301 and the separator 303 in the electrode assembly 30 are wound to form a cylindrical winding structure.
[0141] Some embodiments of the present application further provide a battery 2, which includes a battery cell 7 provided by the above technical solution.
[0142] Some embodiments of the present application further provide an electrical device, which includes the battery 2 provided by the above technical solution, and the battery 2 is used to provide electrical energy.
[0143] Some embodiments of the present application provide a battery cell 7, which includes a housing 20, an electrode assembly 30, an electrode lead-out member 40, a current collecting member 50, an adapter 60, and an insulating member 70. The electrode assembly 30, the current collecting member 50, the adapter 60, and the insulating member 70 are accommodated in the housing 20. The adapter 60 is connected between the current collecting member 50 and the electrode lead-out member 40. The pole piece 301 in the electrode assembly 30 is wound along the winding direction X. A plurality of pole ears 3012 at the end of the pole piece body 3011 in the first direction Y pass through the channel 501 and are connected to the current collecting member 50. The pole piece body 3011, the insulating member 70, the current collecting member 50, and the electrode lead-out member 40 are sequentially arranged along the first direction Y. The plurality of channels 501 are divided into a first channel 5011 and a second channel 5012. In the winding direction X, the pole ear 3012 passing through the first channel 5011 is closer to the inner end of the pole piece 301 than the pole ear 3012 passing through the second channel 5012. The length of the first channel 5011 along the winding direction X is T1, and the length of the second channel 5012 along the winding direction X is T2, and T2>T1. The first channel 5011 is configured as a rectangular channel 501, and the second channel 5012 is configured as an arc-shaped channel 501 extending along the winding direction X. The first channel 5011 and the second channel 5012 at least partially overlap in the radial direction of the electrode assembly 30, and two adjacent second channels 5012 at least partially overlap in the radial direction of the electrode assembly 30. The second channel 5012 includes a first portion 50121 and a second portion 50122, and the first portion 50121 has a larger size in the radial direction of the electrode assembly 30 than the second portion 50122. Since the length T1 of the first channel 5011 through which the pole ear 3012 closer to the inner end of the pole piece 301 passes is smaller in the winding direction X, and the pole ear 3012 closer to the inner end of the pole piece 301 is not easy to be misplaced during the winding process of the pole piece 301, the pole ear 3012 closer to the inner end of the pole piece 301 can be well positioned with the current collecting component 50 through the first channel 5011 with a smaller length in the winding direction X; at the same time, since the length T2 of the second channel 5012 through which the pole ear 3012 farther from the inner end of the pole piece 301 passes is larger in the winding direction X, even if the pole ear 3012 farther from the inner end of the pole piece 301 is misplaced, it can smoothly pass through the second channel 5012 to be connected with the current collecting component 50, which is beneficial to improving the reliability of the battery cell 7.
