[0038] Embodiment 1

[0039] The positions of the positive and negative poles of the battery cells in the existing battery modules are relatively fixed. The battery cells cannot flexibly change the exposed position of the shell according to the characteristics of the battery cells, and then change the positions of the positive and negative poles and the welding positions. Therefore, they cannot adapt to the needs of the battery module in different situations, which causes certain difficulties in voltage collection and other tasks.

[0040] In view of this, an embodiment of the utility model provides a battery cell, including: a battery cell, including a first pole ear and a second pole ear, the polarity of the first pole ear is opposite to the polarity of the second pole ear; a shell, the shell includes a first shell 100, a second shell 200 and an insulating ring 300, the insulating ring 300 is respectively connected to the first shell 100 and the second shell 200 to form a accommodating cavity, and the battery cell is located in the accommodating cavity; the first shell 100 is electrically connected to the first pole ear, and a first pole 110 is arranged on the first shell 100, the second shell 200 is electrically connected to the second pole ear, and a second pole 210 is arranged on the second shell 200, and the first shell 100 and the second shell 200 are both coated with insulating material and the first pole 110 and the second pole 210 are exposed.

[0041] The first shell 100 is electrically connected to the first pole tab, the second shell 200 is electrically connected to the second pole tab, and both the first shell 100 and the second shell 200 are coated with insulating materials, so that the first pole 110 on the first shell 100 is exposed and the second pole 210 on the second shell 200 is exposed. By coating different positions of the first shell 100 and the second shell 200 with insulating materials, the exposed position can be changed, thereby changing the position of the first pole 110 and the second pole 210, and changing the welding position, so as to meet the needs of the battery module in different situations, and at the same time, it can also reduce the difficulty of voltage collection and other tasks.

[0042] Here are a few different ways to wrap insulation materials:

[0043] Method 1: The first shell 100 includes a first side wall 400 , the second shell 200 includes a second side wall 500 , the first side wall 400 and the second side wall 500 are arranged opposite to each other along a first direction, the first pole 110 is arranged on the first side wall 400 , and the second pole 210 is arranged on the second side wall 500 .

[0044] Furthermore, the shell is a rectangular parallelepiped, and the first direction is the length direction, wherein, in terms of size, width ≤ height < length.

[0045] See also Figure 1 In this manner, the first side wall 400 and the second side wall 500 are arranged opposite to each other along the length direction of the battery cell, and the first pole 110 and the second pole 210 are respectively arranged at the ends of the first side wall 400 and the second side wall 500. Preferably, the first pole 110 and the second pole 210 are respectively arranged at the same end sides of the first side wall 400 and the second side wall 500, that is, the first pole 110 and the second pole 210 can be respectively arranged at the top ends of the first side wall 400 and the second side wall 500, or the first pole 110 and the second pole 210 can also be respectively arranged at the bottom ends of the first side wall 400 and the second side wall 500.

[0046] Mode 2: The difference from Mode 1 is that the first direction is the width direction, and the first pole 110 and the second pole 210 are respectively arranged in the middle of the first side wall 400 and the second side wall 500 .

[0047] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this manner, the first side wall 400 and the second side wall 500 are arranged opposite to each other along the width direction of the battery cell, and the first pole 110 and the second pole 210 are respectively arranged in the middle of the first side wall 400 and the second side wall 500. Figure 3 The configuration of the first pole 110 on the first side wall 400 is shown, and the first pole 110 is welded with a first connecting piece 130 . Figure 4 The second pole 210 is arranged on the second side wall 500. The second pole 210 is welded with a second connecting piece 220, and the second connecting piece 220 is also connected to a spring. A heat insulation pad 120 can also be installed on the first side wall 400 and / or the second side wall 500. The heat insulation pad 120 is provided with a perforation for exposing the first pole 110 or the second pole 210. The heat insulation pad 120 can have a good heat insulation performance.

[0048] Method three: The difference from method one is that the first shell 100 includes a third side wall 600, the second shell 200 includes a fourth side wall 700, the third side wall 600 and the fourth side wall 700 are located on the same plane, the first pole 110 is arranged on the third side wall 600, and the second pole 210 is arranged on the fourth side wall 700.

[0049] For details, please see Figure 2 In this way, the third side wall 600 and the fourth side wall 700 can be both located on the top surface or both located on the bottom surface. Preferably, the first pole 110 and the second pole 210 are located on opposite sides of the same plane, that is, the first pole 110 and the second pole 210 are arranged away from each other.

[0050] In the above three methods, the insulating material is epoxy resin, and the epoxy resin is coated on the outer surface of the shell by nano injection molding process; or, the insulating material is PET film.

[0051] By performing nano-injection molding on the shell surface, the epoxy resin material is integrated with the shell, which not only plays a fixing role but also insulates the outer wall of the shell from the outside. The specific process method is: the shell surface is treated before injection molding, and the grease on the inner wall and bottom of the shell is removed by alkaline etching inside the shell to ensure that the inner wall and bottom of the shell are free of grease, and larger nano-holes are etched by pickling; then electrochemical treatment is performed to further etch small-sized nano-holes on the inner wall and bottom of the shell. Nano-injection molding materials such as epoxy resin are chemically resistant, have strong adsorption capacity for metals, and have better heat resistance and electrical insulation.

[0052] The coating method of the PET film is as follows: the PET film is adhered to the outer surface of the shell through the adhesive layer, so that the PET film is coated on the shell.

[0053] Embodiment 2

[0054] The embodiment of the utility model provides a battery module, including multiple battery cells of the first embodiment, the multiple battery cells are stacked along a second direction, the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction, and the first pole 110 and the second pole 210 are both electrically connected to a bus bar.

[0055] Corresponding to the first embodiment, this embodiment also provides three welding methods.

[0056] Method 1: Corresponds to the method 1 of coating the insulating material in Example 1. Figure 5 The plurality of battery cells are arranged alternately along the width direction of the battery cells, and between two adjacent battery cells, the first pole 110 of one battery cell is welded to the second pole 210 of another battery cell.

[0057] Method 2: Corresponds to the method 2 of coating the insulating material in Example 1. Figure 7 The plurality of battery cells are arranged alternately along the width direction of the battery cells, and between two adjacent battery cells, the first pole 110 of one battery cell is welded to the second pole 210 of another battery cell.

[0058] Method 3: corresponds to the method 3 of coating the insulating material in embodiment 1. Figure 6 The plurality of battery cells are arranged alternately along the width direction of the battery cells, and between two adjacent battery cells, the first pole 110 of one battery cell is welded to the second pole 210 of another battery cell.

[0059] The above three methods make it possible to change the welding position in the battery module according to the characteristics of the designed battery cells, thereby adapting to the needs of the battery module under different working conditions and reducing the difficulty of voltage collection and other tasks.

[0060] Embodiment 3

[0061] The present utility model embodiment provides a battery, including the battery module of embodiment 2. Since the battery includes all structures of the battery cell and the battery module, it has all the beneficial effects described in embodiments 1 and 2, which will not be described in detail here.

[0062] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents.
