[0015] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0016] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] A reference group was set up: using conventional structure and flattening process, the number of dust in the cylindrical full-tab battery was 15pcs, the hole blocking was 5‰, and the laser welding penetration was 1%.

[0018] Embodiment 1:

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, the battery cell is fixed with a clamp and the center hole 1 is blocked with a needle-shaped metal part 2 such as a metal rod, and the pole ear is cut with a laser to form 4 partitions. A pole ear groove 3 is formed at the connection of the partitions. Then, the fan-shaped metal sheet is pre-pressed from the outside to the inside and then flattened. The number of dust in the cylindrical full-pole ear battery is 8pcs, the hole is blocked by 1‰, and the laser welding penetrates 5‰.

[0020] Embodiment 2:

[0021] Fix the battery cell with a clamp and block the center hole 1 with a metal rod. Use a saw blade to cut the pole ear to form 5 partitions. Then use a metal rod to roll it and flatten it. The number of dust is 10pcs, the hole is blocked 1‰, and the laser welding penetrates 5‰.

[0022] Embodiment 3:

[0023] Fix the battery cell with a clamp and block the center hole 1 with a metal rod. Use a saw blade to cut the pole ear to form 8 partitions. Then use a fan-shaped metal sheet to pre-press from the outside to the inside, and then use a mold to directly flatten the pole ear. The number of dust is 12pcs, the hole is blocked 1‰, and the laser welding penetrates 5‰.

[0024] Embodiment 4:

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the full-tab battery is flattened by mechanical forced compression, with 3 pcs of dust, 4‰ of blocked holes, and 5‰ of laser welding penetration.

[0026] Embodiment 5:

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, the pre-lodging method is used to flatten the full-ear battery, the pre-lodging angle θ=30°, the number of dust is 7pcs, the hole blocking is 4‰, and the laser welding penetration is 6‰.

[0028] Embodiment 6:

[0029] When flattening the full-ear battery, the pre-prostrating method is adopted. The pre-prostrating angle θ=45°, the number of dust is 7pcs, the hole blocking is 3‰, and the laser welding penetration is 6‰.

[0030] Embodiment 7:

[0031] When flattening the full-ear battery, the pre-lodging method is adopted. The pre-lodging angle θ=60°, the number of dust is 7pcs, the hole blocking is 2‰, and the laser welding penetration is 6‰.

[0032] From the comparison between Examples 1-3 and the reference group, it can be seen that using a needle-shaped metal piece to insert into the center hole for filling and protection can prevent the pole ear from being rubbed into the center hole and causing damage during flattening; using a laser to cut the pole ear of the winding core into n equal parts so that the symmetry axis of the dividing area can be pre-stressed; pre-stressing the fan-shaped metal sheet so that the pole ear falls in one direction and then flattens during flattening can reduce metal debris.

[0033] From the comparison between Example 4 and the reference group, it can be seen that the use of mechanical forced compression can reduce the generation of dust during the flattening stage of the cylindrical full-tab battery.

[0034] From the comparison between Examples 5-7 and the reference group, it can be seen that the angled pre-lodging can reduce the risk of blockage of the center hole. Assuming that the flattening length is L and the flattening angle is θ, the maximum distance from the flattened electrode to the center hole changes from L to L*COSθ; the use of a mechanical angled pre-lodging method can reduce the generation of dust during the flattening stage of cylindrical full-electrode batteries.

[0035] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
