[0029] Embodiment

[0030] As Figures 1-3 shown, a flame-retardant isolation film for a battery cell proposed by the present utility model includes an isolation film main body 1. The isolation film main body 1 includes a base material layer 11. The base material layer 11 is made of polypropylene material. The thickness of the base material layer 11 is 10 μm, and it has good chemical stability and electrical properties. It has a relatively high melting point and can maintain stability at a relatively high temperature, suitable for coping with the possible high-temperature environment of the battery. In addition, polypropylene also has good chemical corrosion resistance and can resist the erosion of chemical substances inside the battery, thereby extending the service life of the isolation film main body 1.

[0031] Furthermore, the above-mentioned isolation film includes buffer layers 12 provided on both sides of the substrate layer 11. The buffer layers 12 are used to buffer external impact forces. The thickness of the buffer layer 12 is 5 μm. The buffer layer 12 is made of polyimide material and has very excellent high-temperature stability and mechanical strength. It can maintain stability at relatively high temperatures, is not easily deformed or softened, and is suitable for use in high-performance batteries or applications that require high-temperature environments. The buffer layer 12 has a honeycomb structure, which can further buffer external impacts and improve the stability of the isolation film body 1.

[0032] Furthermore, the above-mentioned isolation film also includes two sets of reinforcing layers 13. The two sets of reinforcing layers 13 are respectively provided on the sides of the two buffer layers 12 away from the substrate layer 11. The reinforcing layer 13 is used to improve the mechanical strength of the isolation film body 1. The thickness of the reinforcing layer 13 is 5 μm. The reinforcing layer 13 is made of glass fiber material and has extremely high tensile strength and stiffness, which can significantly enhance the mechanical strength and tear resistance of the flame-retardant isolation film. It also has good high-temperature resistance performance and can maintain stability in the high-temperature operating environment of the battery. It can also effectively prevent the isolation film body 1 from being distorted and deformed, and improve its adaptability to batteries with complex shapes. The reinforcing layer 13 is composed of multiple sets of warp threads 131 and weft threads 132 that crisscross each other, and has a high tensile capacity, improving the mechanical properties of the isolation film body 1.

[0033] Furthermore, the above-mentioned isolation film also includes two sets of insulating layers 14. The two sets of insulating layers 14 are respectively provided on the sides of the two reinforcing layers 13 away from the buffer layer 12. The insulating layer 14 is used to prevent the battery core from leaking electricity. The thickness of the insulating layer 14 is 5 μm. The insulating layer 14 is made of polyethylene material and has good electrical insulation performance, and is usually softer and easier to process than polypropylene. It can effectively protect the structure of the battery and provide good adaptability in batteries with complex shapes.

[0034] Specifically, the above-mentioned isolation film includes two sets of flame-retardant layers 15. The two sets of flame-retardant layers 15 are respectively provided on the sides of the two insulating layers 14 away from the reinforcing layer 13. The flame-retardant layer 15 is used to prevent being burned through. The thickness of the flame-retardant layer 15 is 5 μm. The flame-retardant layer 15 is made of fluoroplastic material and has good fire resistance and chemical resistance, and at the same time also has good low surface energy and excellent voltage resistance performance.

[0035] Finally, the above-mentioned isolation film also includes an adhesive layer 16 provided on the side of one set of flame-retardant layer 15 away from the insulating layer 14. A release paper 17 is adhered to the side of the adhesive layer 16 away from the flame-retardant layer 15, which is convenient for bonding and fixing the isolation film body 1 through the adhesive layer 16 after the release paper 17 is peeled off.

[0036] In this embodiment, during use, the release paper 17 is peeled off, and the isolation film main body 1 is adhered to the battery cell position through the adhesive layer 16. At this time, the base material layer 11 can maintain stability at a relatively high temperature, suitable for coping with the possible high-temperature environment of the battery. In addition, it can also resist the erosion of chemical substances inside the battery, thereby extending the service life of the isolation film main body 1. The buffer layer 12 can maintain stability at a relatively high temperature, is not easily deformed or softened, and is suitable for use in high-performance batteries or applications that require a high-temperature environment. The honeycomb structure in the buffer layer 12 further buffers external impacts. The reinforcement layer 13 significantly enhances the mechanical strength and tear resistance of the flame-retardant isolation film. It has good high-temperature resistance performance and can maintain stability in the high-temperature operating environment of the battery. It can also effectively prevent the isolation film main body 1 from being twisted and deformed, improving its adaptability to batteries with complex shapes. The insulation layer 14 can effectively protect the structure of the battery and provide good adaptability in batteries with complex shapes. The flame-retardant layer 15 has good fire resistance and chemical resistance, and at the same time has good low surface energy and excellent breakdown voltage performance, preventing the battery cell from catching fire and causing a fire.

[0037] The above specific embodiment is only an optional embodiment of the present invention. Based on the technical solution of the present invention and the relevant inspiration of the above embodiment, those skilled in the art can make various alternative improvements and combinations to the above specific embodiment.
