[0034] In order to solve the problems in the prior art, the present application provides a battery cell and a battery pack, wherein the battery cell can ensure the reliability of the connection between the top cover sheet and the lower insulating member.
[0035] like Figure 1-10 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a battery cell, including: a shell 1 with an opening and a top cover assembly 2.
[0036] The housing 1 has a receiving cavity, and the electrode assembly is arranged in the receiving cavity. Specifically, the housing 1 can be a rectangular parallelepiped structure, and an opening is arranged at the top of the housing 1, and the electrode assembly is taken in and out through the opening.
[0037] The top cover assembly 2 is arranged at the opening of the shell 1 and is used to seal the opening. The top cover assembly 2 includes a top cover sheet 21, a lower insulating member 22 and a connecting member 23. The lower insulating member 22 and the top cover sheet 21 are arranged on the side of the top cover sheet 21 close to the electrode assembly. The lower insulating member 22 and the top cover sheet 21 are connected through the connecting member 23. The surface of the lower insulating member 22 away from the electrode assembly is in contact with the surface of the top cover sheet 21 close to the electrode assembly. Specifically, there are multiple connecting members 23, and the multiple connecting members 23 are distributed in a matrix. The top cover sheet 21 and the lower insulating member 22 are connected by multiple connecting members 23, further ensuring that the top cover sheet 21 and the lower insulating member 22 can be fully in contact with each other, so that the lower insulating member 22 and the top cover sheet 21 are in a state of abutting and fitting, ensuring the connection between the two, and ensuring that the lower insulating member 22 insulates the top cover sheet 21 and the metal connecting sheet to avoid insulation failure.
[0038] In the present application, the top cover sheet 21 and the lower insulating member 22 are connected by the connecting member 23. There is no need to set a connecting structure for connection on the top cover sheet 21 and the lower insulating member 22 or to set a glue for adhesion between the top cover sheet 21 and the lower insulating member 22. This can ensure that the top cover sheet 21 and the lower insulating member 22 are fully fitted, thereby ensuring the reliability of the connection between the top cover sheet 21 and the lower insulating member 22.
[0039] In the related art, the top cover assembly 2 of the battery cell generally includes a top cover sheet 21, a lower insulating member, an upper insulating member, a pole 24, etc. The pole 24 passes through the hole of the pole 24 of the lower insulating member, the hole of the pole 24 of the top cover sheet 21, and the hole of the upper insulating member in sequence, and is assembled together by riveting or injection molding. The lower insulating member and the top cover sheet 21 are fixed by clamping or bonding, and the reliability of the connection is poor. In the present application, the top cover sheet 21 and the lower insulating member 22 are fixed by a connector 23, and the top cover sheet 21 and the lower insulating member 22 can be ensured to be fully fitted, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the top cover sheet 21 and the lower insulating member 22.
[0040] like Figure 3-5As shown, in some embodiments, a first mounting hole 211 is provided on the top cover sheet 21, a second mounting hole 221 is provided on the lower insulating member 22, the first mounting hole 211 and the second mounting hole 221 are connected, the battery cell has a first direction X, the connecting member 23 has a connecting portion 231 extending along the first direction X and a first limiting portion 232 and a second limiting portion 233 respectively connected to the two ends of the connecting portion 231 in the first direction X, the connecting portion 231 is penetrated by the first mounting hole 211 and the second mounting hole 221, the first limiting portion 232 is attached to the side of the cover sheet away from the electrode assembly to limit the top cover sheet 21, and the second limiting portion 233 is attached to the side of the lower insulating member 22 away from the top cover sheet 21 to limit the lower insulating member 22.
[0041] In the present application, the connecting portion 231 of the connecting member 23 passes through the first mounting hole 211 and the second mounting hole 221, and the top cover sheet 21 is limited by the first limiting portion 232, and the lower insulating member 22 is limited by the second limiting portion 233. The top cover sheet 21 and the lower insulating member 22 are clamped by the first limiting portion 232 and the second limiting portion 233, so that the top cover sheet 21 can be fully fitted with the lower insulating member 22.
[0042] Optionally, glue may be filled in the gap between the connector 23 and the first mounting hole 211 , and the glue may not fill the gap between the first mounting hole 211 , the second mounting hole 221 and the connector 23 , thereby improving the air tightness and the fixing effect of the connector 23 on the top cover sheet 21 and the lower insulating member 22 .
[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the first mounting hole 211 includes a first hole segment 2111 and a second hole segment 2112 arranged along the first direction X, the second hole segment 2112 is adjacent to the lower insulating member 22, the aperture of the first hole segment 2111 is larger than the aperture of the second hole segment 2112, and the first limiting portion 232 is arranged in the first hole segment 2111.
[0044] In the present application, after the connecting portion 231 passes through the first mounting hole 211 and the second mounting hole 221, the first limiting portion 232 is located in the first hole section 2111 of the first mounting hole 211 to limit the top cover sheet 21. Moreover, the first limiting portion 232 is located in the first hole section 2111, which can realize a hidden design and prevent the connecting member 23 from protruding to the outside of the top cover sheet 21 and affecting the flatness of the surface of the top cover assembly 2.
[0045] In some embodiments, the second limiting portion 233 is an elastic structure that can be elastically deformed to facilitate assembly.
[0046] In some embodiments, the first limiting portion 232 , the connecting portion 231 , and the second limiting portion 233 are integrally formed to facilitate processing and manufacturing.
[0047] In the present application, the second limiting portion 233 is located on the side of the lower insulating member 22 away from the top cover sheet 21, so as to limit the lower insulating member 22. When the connecting member 23 is pressed down to pass through the first mounting hole 211 and the second mounting hole 221, the second limiting portion 233 can pass through the first mounting hole 211 and the second mounting hole 221 in sequence by its own deformation. After passing through the first mounting hole 211 and the second mounting hole 221, the second limiting portion 233 returns to its original state and limits the lower insulating member 22. The connection and fixation of the top cover sheet 21 and the lower insulating member 22 can be achieved by only pressing the connecting member 23 into the first mounting hole 211 and the second mounting hole 221, which is easy to operate.
[0048] Optionally, the second limiting portion 233 may also be a threaded column, and a threaded hole is provided on the lower insulating member 22 . By rotating the connecting member 23 , the second limiting portion 233 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole, thereby completing the connection between the top cover sheet 21 and the lower insulating member 22 .
[0049] like Figure 7-8 As shown, in some embodiments, the battery cell has a second direction Y, and the lower insulating member 22 includes a first sub-member 222 and a second sub-member 223 sequentially arranged along the second direction Y, and the first sub-member 222 and the second sub-member 223 are detachably connected, wherein the second direction Y intersects with the first direction X. Specifically, the first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular to each other.
[0050] In the present application, because the lower insulating member 22 and the top cover sheet 21 require multiple connecting members 23 to be connected, by configuring the lower insulating member 22 to be a detachable first sub-member 222 and a second sub-member 223, the first sub-member 222 and the second sub-member 223 can be pre-fixed to the top cover sheet 21 through the connecting members 23, respectively, and then the first sub-member 222 and the second sub-member 223 can be connected, thereby facilitating the assembly of the top cover sheet 21 and the lower insulating member 22.
[0051] Optionally, the lower insulating member 22 may also be an integral structure. After the lower insulating member 22 and the top cover sheet 21 are positioned, the top cover sheet 21 and the lower insulating member 22 are connected and fixed by a plurality of connecting members 23 .
[0052] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, a connection buckle 224 is provided on one of the first sub-component 222 and the second sub-component 223, and a connection hole 225 is provided on the other, the connection buckle 224 is inserted into the connection hole 225, and the outer side wall of the connection buckle 224 at least partially abuts against the inner side wall of the connection hole 225. The connection buckle 224 and the first sub-component 222 are integrally formed by injection molding, and the connection hole 225 and the second sub-component 223 are integrally formed by injection molding.
[0053] In the present application, the first sub-component 222 and the second sub-component 223 are connected by the connecting buckle 224 and the connecting hole 225. After the connecting buckle 224 is inserted into the connecting hole 225, the connection between the first sub-component 222 and the second sub-component 223 can be completed, which facilitates the connection between the first sub-component 222 and the second sub-component 223.
[0054] Specifically, when the first sub-component 222 and the second sub-component 223 of the lower insulating component 22 are respectively connected to the top cover sheet 21 through the connecting component 23, the outer wall of the connecting buckle 224 remains in contact with the inner wall of the connecting hole 225, so that there is a force along the second direction Y between the connecting buckle 224 and the connecting hole 225. The first sub-component 222 and the second sub-component 223 will always be subjected to the force in the second direction Y respectively, so that the first connecting buckle 224 and the first connecting hole 225 remain in a tightly fastened state, thereby achieving the effect of the upper surface of the lower insulating component 22 being tightly attached to the lower surface of the top cover sheet 21.
[0055] like Figure 9-10 As shown, in some embodiments, the lower insulating member 22 includes an arc portion 226 , the arc portion 226 protrudes toward the top cover sheet 21 , and the arc portion 226 is an elastic structure.
[0056] In the present application, the arc portion 226 of the lower insulating member 22 faces the top cover sheet 21. When the connecting member 23 connects the top cover sheet 21 and the lower insulating member 22, the arc portion 226 is squeezed and deformed, so that the lower insulating member 22 can maintain a full fit with the top cover sheet 21. In the present application, the number of arc portions 226 can be one or more.
[0057] In a specific embodiment, the number of arc portions 226 is one, and the arc portion 226 is arranged in the middle area of the lower insulating member 22. When the lower insulating member 22 is connected to the top cover sheet 21 through the connecting member 23, the arc portion 226 is deformed and fully fits with the bottom surface of the top cover sheet 21. The first limiting portion 232 and the second limiting portion 233 of the connecting member 23 can also keep the top cover sheet 21 and the lower insulating member 22 in contact with each other, thereby ensuring the locking effect of the top cover sheet 21 and the lower insulating member 22 in the first direction X.
[0058] In another embodiment, the lower insulating component 22 has an arc portion 226, and the lower insulating component 22 includes a first sub-component 222 and a second sub-component 223. The first sub-component 222 and the second sub-component 223 are detachably connected, and the first sub-component 222 and the second sub-component 223 are respectively provided with an arc portion 226. When the arc portion 226 is deformed and adheres tightly to the top cover sheet 21, there is a pulling force in the second direction Y between the first sub-component 222 and the second sub-component 223. While ensuring that the top cover sheet 21 and the lower insulating component 22 are fully fitted, the connection reliability between the first sub-component 222 and the second sub-component 223 is also guaranteed.
[0059] In some embodiments, the lower insulating member 22 further includes two straight portions 227 respectively connected to two ends of the arc portion 226 , and a central angle M of the arc portion 226 is: 0°<M≤15°.
[0060] In the present application, the straight portions 227 at both ends are connected to the top cover sheet 21 , so that the arc portion 226 in the middle is deformed, thereby allowing the lower insulating member 22 to fully fit with the top cover sheet 21 .
[0061] Preferably, the central angle M of the arc portion 226 is: 1°≤M≤9°.
[0062] In some embodiments, the maximum distance H between the outer surface of the arc portion 226 and the plane where the side of the straight portion 227 close to the electrode assembly is located is: 0mm<H≤8mm.
[0063] In the present application, there is a certain height difference between the arc portion 226 and the straight portion 227. By setting the height difference H at 0mm<H≤8mm, when the top cover sheet 21 and the lower insulating member 22 are assembled, the buffered height difference can be just used up, so that the top cover sheet 21 and the lower insulating member 22 are fully fitted, and the entire arc portion 226 is always subject to the force given by the lower surface of the top cover sheet 21. This force causes the arc portion 226 of the lower insulating member 22 to deform in the direction away from the lower surface of the top cover sheet 21, thereby achieving the purpose of close fit between the lower insulating member 22 and the top cover sheet 21.
[0064] Preferably, the maximum distance H between the outer surface of the arc portion 226 and the plane where the side of the straight portion 227 close to the electrode assembly is located is: 0.5mm≤H≤5mm.
[0065] In some embodiments, a first through hole 212 is disposed on the top cover sheet 21 , a second through hole 228 is disposed on the lower insulating member 22 , and the top cover assembly 2 further includes a pole 24 penetrating the first through hole 212 and the second through hole 228 .
[0066] In the present application, the pole 24 passes through the first through-hole 212 and the second through-hole 228 and is electrically connected to the electrode assembly in the shell 1 . Two poles 24 are provided, namely a positive pole 24 and a negative pole 24 .
[0067] In some embodiments, the top cover assembly 2 further includes a second insulating member 25 , which abuts against a side of the top cover sheet 21 away from the lower insulating member 22 , and is provided with a third through hole 251 for the pole 24 to pass through.
[0068] In the present application, the second insulating member 25 is disposed on a side of the top cover sheet 21 away from the lower insulating member 22 , and the pole 24 passes through the third through hole 251 of the second insulating member 25 to ensure the insulation effect between the pole 24 and the top cover sheet 21 .
[0069] The battery cell connects the top cover sheet 21 and the lower insulating member 22 via a connector 23, and there is no need to provide a connection structure on the top cover sheet 21 and the lower insulating member 22 or to provide a glue for bonding between the top cover sheet 21 and the lower insulating member 22, thereby ensuring that the top cover sheet 21 and the lower insulating member 22 are fully fitted together, thereby ensuring the reliability of the connection between the top cover sheet 21 and the lower insulating member 22.
[0070] An embodiment of the present application provides a battery pack, comprising the above-mentioned battery cell.
