[0002] A lithium battery is a type of battery with a lithium metal or lithium alloy as the negative electrode material and using a non-aqueous electrolyte solution. With the progress of lithium battery technology, its application fields are becoming more and more extensive. It can be found in small digital products such as mobile phones, cameras, and drones, and large fields such as aerospace, aviation, and automobiles. Lithium batteries have advantages such as large capacity and high monomer energy density.

[0003] Based on the above, the inventor found the following problems: Due to the strong activity of the core material alkali metal lithium used in new energy, when the existing safety lithium battery is impacted or dropped during use, the internal lithium battery core will be impacted by external forces, resulting in thermal runaway, and dangerous situations such as spontaneous combustion and even self-explosion may occur, posing a serious threat to personal safety and also causing a large amount of property losses.

[0004] Therefore, in view of this, research and improvement are carried out on the existing structure and deficiencies, and a flame-retardant safety lithium battery core is provided with the expectation of achieving a more practical value. Content of the Utility Model

[0007] A flame-retardant safety lithium battery core includes a battery core housing. A battery positive electrode and a battery negative electrode are installed at the top of the battery core housing. A battery core body is installed inside the battery core housing.

At the same time, it can help with heat dissipation, contribute to reducing the battery temperature, and can increase the strength and hardness of the material, improving the durability and stability of the battery core body.

[0019] By setting the flame retardant, aluminum hydroxide has the function of slowing down or inhibiting the spread of flames, effectively improving the flame-retardant performance of the battery core body.

[0020] By setting the heat-insulating layer, the glass fiber can reduce the heat transferred from the battery core body to the surrounding environment when overheating occurs, thereby reducing the fire risk. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
