[0058] As an example, the inorganic solid electrolyte can be an oxide solid electrolyte (crystalline perovskite, sodium superconducting ion conductor, garnet, amorphous LiPON film), a sulfide solid electrolyte (crystalline lithium superion conductor (lithium germanium phosphide, germanium argentum sulfide), amorphous sulfide) and one or more of a halide solid electrolyte, a nitride solid electrolyte and a hydride solid electrolyte.

[0064] 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.

[0065] In some embodiments, the box body can be used as a part of the chassis structure of the vehicle.

[0067] In the related art, a cylindrical battery cell is usually provided with a current collector, and multiple tabs in the pole piece are usually welded to the side of the current collector to firmly connect with the current collector, so as to realize the electrical connection between the tabs and the electrode lead-out piece. For the convenience of welding, the welding position of the tabs and the current collector is usually set randomly, which makes the path of the current flowing from the tabs to the electrode lead-out piece longer, which is not conducive to improving the power performance of the battery cell.

In the above structure, since at least one of the pole ears connected to the current collector through the channel is bent in the direction close to the connecting portion, the connection between the pole ear and the current collector is closer to the connection between the adapter and the current collector after bending, shortening the path of the current flowing from the connection between the pole ear and the current collector to the connection between the adapter and the current collector, which is beneficial to improving the power performance of the battery cell.

Figure 6 As shown, the current collector 50 is provided with a plurality of channels 501 penetrating along the first direction Y, and each pole lug 3012 passes through the channel 501 and is connected to the current collector 50 . Among them, at least one pole lug 3012 is bent toward a direction close to the connecting portion 503 .

[0089] 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.

[0090] The electrode assembly 30 may include an electrode sheet 301 and a separator 303. The electrode sheet 301 may include a positive electrode sheet or a negative electrode sheet with opposite polarities. The positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet may be used as a positive electrode and a negative electrode, respectively. The separator 303 is stacked between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet to separate the positive electrode sheet from the negative electrode sheet. Figure 7 As shown, the pole piece 301 includes a pole piece body 3011 and a pole ear 3012 connected to the end of the pole piece body 3011 in the first direction Y. The pole ear 3012 can be a part provided on the pole piece 301 for electrically connecting with the current collector of the battery cell 7. By providing the pole ear 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 ear 3012, so that the pole piece 301 is electrically connected to the electrode lead-out member 40. By providing a plurality of pole ears 3012 at intervals at the end of the pole piece 301 in the first direction Y, the pole piece 301 can be evenly and stably transferred with other components through the plurality of pole ears 3012.

[0091] The pole piece 301 and the separator 303 may be arranged in layers or wound in a winding direction X. The pole piece 301 and the separator 303 may be wound in the winding direction X, and the stacked positive pole piece, the negative pole piece and the separator 303 in the electrode assembly 30 may be wound in the winding direction X. The pole piece 301 is wound in the winding direction X, so that the electrode assembly 30 has a wound structure.

[0092] The electrode body 304 may refer to the main structural part in the electrode assembly 30 , which may include a pole piece body 3011 (a positive pole piece body and a negative pole piece body) and an isolation member 303 , and the pole ear 3012 is led out from the end of the pole piece body 3011 in the electrode body 304 along the first direction Y.

[0093] The first direction Y is perpendicular to the winding direction X, so that the tabs 3012 can be disposed at both ends of the electrode body 304 perpendicular to the winding direction X, which facilitates the arrangement of other components in the battery cell 7 at both ends of the electrode assembly 30 .

[0094] 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.

[0095] 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.

[0096] 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.

[0097] The current collector 50 may be a component for connecting multiple tabs 3012. The current collector 50 is provided with a connection portion 503, which is electrically connected to the electrode lead-out member 40, so that the electric energy output by the multiple tabs 3012 can be collected on the current collector 50 and then transmitted to the electrode lead-out member 40.

[0098] 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 tab 3012 can pass through the current collecting member 50 via the channel 501 .

[0099] The adapter 60 may be a member for connecting the connection portion 503 of the current collector 50 to the electrode lead-out member 40. The current collector 50 and the electrode lead-out member 40 are spaced apart in the first direction Y. The adapter 60 is connected between the current collector 50 and the electrode lead-out member 40, so that the current collector 50 can be conveniently electrically connected to the electrode lead-out member 40.

[0100] Each pole lug 3012 passes through the channel 501 and is connected to the current collector 50. Each pole lug 3012 may pass through the channel 501 from one side of the current collector 50 to the other side of the current collector 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 collector 50, or may be bent and connected to the side of the current collector 50 facing the first direction Y to achieve connection with the current collector 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 beneficial to reduce the number of channels 501 and simplify the processing of the current collector 50.

[0101] By bending at least one of the multiple pole ears 3012 toward the direction close to the connecting portion 503, the connection between the pole ear 3012 and the current collector 50 is made closer to the connecting portion 503, shortening the path of current flowing from the connection between the pole ear 3012 and the current collector 50 to the connecting portion 503, which is beneficial to improving the power performance of the battery cell 7.

[0102] In the above structure, since at least one of the pole ears 3012 connected to the current collector 50 through the channel 501 is bent in the direction close to the connecting portion 503, the connection between the pole ear 3012 and the current collector 50 after bending is closer to the connection between the adapter 60 and the current collector 50, shortening the path of the current flowing from the connection between the pole ear 3012 and the current collector 50 to the connection between the adapter 60 and the current collector 50, which is beneficial to improving the power performance of the battery cell 7.

[0103] In some embodiments, Figure 8 As shown, the pole ear 3012 includes a first part 30121 and a second part 30122 connected to the first part 30121, the second part 30122 is bent relative to the first part 30121 and connected to the current collecting member 50, the end of the first part 30121 away from the second part 30122 is connected to the electrode body 304, and the second part 30122 of at least one pole ear 3012 is bent toward the side close to the adapter 60.

[0104] The first part 30121 and the second part 30122 are two parts connected to each other in the tab 3012. By bending the second part 30122 relative to the first part 30121, the second part 30122 can be conveniently connected to the side of the current collector 50 away from the electrode body 304, so that the tab 3012 is conveniently connected to the current collector 50.

[0105] By connecting the end of the first portion 30121 away from the second portion 30122 to the electrode body 304 , the pole ear 3012 can smoothly pass through the channel 501 to achieve connection between the pole piece body 3011 in the electrode body 304 and the current collecting member 50 .

[0106] The second portion 30122 of at least one pole ear 3012 is bent toward the side close to the adapter 60 , which may be that the second portion 30122 of at least one pole ear 3012 is bent relative to the first portion 30121 and the second portion 30122 is closer to the adapter 60 than the first portion 30121 .

[0107] In some embodiments, the second portion 30122 is welded to the current collecting member 50 .

[0108] The second part 30122 is connected to the current collecting member 50 by welding. Welding can melt the materials of the second part 30122 and the current collecting member 50 together, which is not only beneficial to improve the connection strength between the second part 30122 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.

[0109] In some embodiments, the second portion 30122 can be connected to the current collector 50 by laser welding. Since laser welding has the characteristics of small heat-affected zone and easy automation control, the second portion 30122 is connected to the current collector 50 by laser welding, which is beneficial to improving welding quality and production efficiency.

[0110] In some embodiments, the second portion 30122 and the adapter 60 are respectively connected to two opposite side surfaces of the current collecting member 50 in the first direction Y.

[0111] By respectively connecting the second portion 30122 and the adapter 60 to two opposite side surfaces of the current collecting member 50 in the first direction Y, the connection between the second portion 30122 and the current collecting member 50 is less likely to affect the connection between the adapter 60 and the current collecting member 50 .

[0112] Exemplarily, the adapter 60 is connected to the current collector 50 by welding. Welding can melt the materials of the adapter 60 and the current collector 50 together, which is not only conducive to improving the connection strength between the adapter 60 and the current collector 50, but also conducive to reducing the resistance at the connection between the two, which helps to improve the power performance of the battery cell 7.

[0113] The adapter 60 can be connected to the current collector 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 collector 50 by laser welding is not only conducive to improving welding quality, but also conducive to improving production efficiency.

[0114] In some embodiments, a connection point between the second portion 30122 of at least one electrode tab 3012 and the current collecting member 50 and a connection point between the adapter 60 and the current collecting member 50 are arranged opposite to each other in the first direction Y.

[0115] The connection between the second part 30122 of at least one pole ear 3012 and the current collecting piece 50 and the connection between the adapter 60 and the current collecting piece 50 are arranged relative to each other in the first direction Y, which can mean that, in the first direction Y, the connection between the second part 30122 of at least one pole ear 3012 and the current collecting piece 50 and the connection between the adapter 60 and the current collecting piece 50 at least partially overlap, so that the current flow path between at least one pole ear 3012 and the adapter 60 is shorter, which is beneficial to improving the power performance of the battery cell 7.

[0116] In some embodiments, Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the current collecting member 50 and the adapter 60 are an integrally formed structure.

[0117] The adapter 60 and the current collector 50 are an integrally formed structure. The adapter 60 and the current collector 50 can be made by an integrally formed processing method such as a stamping process, so that the adapter 60 and the current collector 50 can be synchronously manufactured as a whole, which not only makes the processing and manufacturing of the adapter 60 and the current collector 50 convenient, but also makes the overall structure formed by the adapter 60 and the current collector 50 have good strength; the adapter 60 and the current collector 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 collector 50 has a lower processing difficulty and processing cost.

[0118] In some embodiments, at least one channel 501 is a groove sunken inward from the outer circumference of the current collecting member 50 , and the notch of the groove faces away from the connection between the adapter 60 and the current collecting member 50 .

[0119] At least one channel 501 is a groove recessed inward from the outer circumferential surface of the current collecting piece 50, which may mean that the channel 501 located on the outermost side of the current collecting piece 50 in the radial direction is formed by a groove recessed inward from the outer circumferential surface of the current collecting piece 50, and the channel 501 can be connected to the outer circumferential surface of the current collecting piece 50, so that the pole ear 3012 on the pole piece 301 of the outermost circle can smoothly pass through the channel 501 connected to the outer circumferential surface of the current collecting piece 50, so as to be firmly connected to the current collecting piece 50.

[0120] Since the second part 30122 of the pole ear 3012 passing through the groove is bent toward the inner side of the current collecting piece 50 and connected to the current collecting piece 50, by making the notch of the groove face away from the connection between the adapter 60 and the current collecting piece 50, the second part 30122 of the pole ear 3012 passing through the groove is close to the connection between the adapter 60 and the current collecting piece 50 relative to the first part 30121, which is beneficial to shortening the current path between the pole ear 3012 passing through the groove and the adapter 60.

[0121] In some embodiments, the electrode body 304 includes a pole piece body 3011 connected to the pole ear 3012, the pole piece body 3011 is wound along a winding direction X, the first direction Y is perpendicular to the winding direction X, and 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 body 3011 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, and the length of the second channel 5012 is T2, and T2>T1.

[0122] 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 ear 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 ear 3012 more accurately, so that the first channel 5011 with a smaller length in the winding direction X can position the current collector 50 more accurately; at the same time, the active space of the pole ear 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 ear 3012 that is misplaced in the winding direction X, so that the pole ear 3012 can smoothly pass through the second channel 5012 even if it is misplaced.

[0123] 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.

[0124] 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 collector 50, which penetrates the current collector 50 along the first direction Y. The through hole 502 and the central hole 302 are arranged relative 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 can be coaxially arranged so that the through hole 502 and the central hole 302 are opposite to each other, which is convenient for arranging the relative positions of the electrode assembly 30 and the current collector 50.

[0125] Exemplarily, the through hole 502 can be simultaneously manufactured together with the current collecting member 50 by using a stamping process, which is beneficial to improving the processing efficiency of the current collecting member 50 .

[0126] In some embodiments, the first channel 5011 is a rectangular channel 501 .

[0127] 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 collector 50, which helps to improve the positioning effect of the current collector 50.

[0128] 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 .

[0129] 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.

[0130] 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 collector 50.

[0131] 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, and two adjacent second channels 5012 at least partially overlap.

[0132] By making the first channel 5011 and the second channel 5012 at least partially overlap in the radial direction of the electrode assembly 30, and making the 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 connect with the current collector 50.

[0133] 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.

[0134] 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.

[0135] In some embodiments, the battery cell 7 also includes an insulating member 70, the electrode body 304 includes a pole piece body 3011 connected to the pole ear 3012, the insulating member 70 is arranged between the pole piece body 3011 and the current collecting member 50, and the insulating member 70 is provided with a third channel 701 passing through the first direction Y, and the pole ear 3012 is connected to the current collecting member 50 through the third channel 701.

[0136] The insulating member 70 may be a sheet-shaped member having insulating properties. The insulating member 70 is disposed between the pole piece body 3011 and the current collecting member 50 to achieve insulation isolation between the pole piece body 3011 and the current collecting member 50 .

[0137] The third channel 701 can be a hole-like structure opened on the insulating member 70 and passing through the first direction Y. Multiple third channels 701 are arranged one by one corresponding to multiple channels 501. The pole ear 3012 passes through the third channel 701 and the channel 501 and is connected to the current collecting member 50, so that the pole ear 3012 is connected to the electrode lead-out member 40 through the current collecting member 50 and the adapter 60.

[0138] In some embodiments, the electrode assembly 30 is configured as a cylindrical wound structure.

[0139] The electrode sheet 301 and the separator 303 in the electrode assembly 30 are wound to form a cylindrical winding structure.

[0140] Some embodiments of the present application further provide a battery 2, which includes a battery cell 7 provided by the above technical solution.

[0141] 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.

[0142] 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 collector 50, a transition member 60, and an insulating member 70. The electrode assembly 30, the current collector 50, the transition member 60, and the insulating member 70 are accommodated in the housing 20. The transition member 60 is connected between the current collector 50 and the electrode lead-out member 40. The pole piece body 3011 of the electrode body 304 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 collector 50. The pole piece body 3011, the insulating member 70, the current collector 50, and the electrode lead-out member 40 are sequentially arranged along the first direction Y. The pole tab 3012 includes a first portion 30121 and a second portion 30122 connected to the first portion 30121. The second portion 30122 of at least one pole tab 3012 is bent toward a side close to the adapter 60 relative to the first portion 30121 and connected to the adapter 60. Since the second portion 30122 of at least one of the pole tabs 3012 is bent toward the connecting portion 503 relative to the first portion 30121, the connection between the second portion 30122 and the current collector 50 is closer to the connection between the adapter 60 and the current collector 50, shortening the path of the current flowing from the connection between the pole tab 3012 and the current collector 50 to the connection between the adapter 60 and the current collector 50, which is beneficial to improving the power performance of the battery cell 7.
