The material of the end cap 312 can also be various, such as copper, iron, aluminum, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, plastic, etc., and the embodiments of the present application do not make special restrictions on this. In some embodiments, an insulating structure can also be provided on the inner side of the end cap 312, and the insulating structure can be used to isolate the electrical connection components in the housing 311 from the end cap 312 to reduce the risk of short circuit. Exemplarily, the insulating structure can be plastic, rubber, etc.
[0103] The electrode assembly 32 is a component in the battery cell 30 where an electrochemical reaction occurs. The housing 311 can contain one or more electrode assemblies 32. The electrode assembly 32 is mainly formed by winding or laminating a positive electrode plate and a negative electrode plate, and usually an isolation film is provided between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate. The isolation film is used to separate the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate to reduce the risk of internal short circuit between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate. The positive electrode plate includes a positive electrode body and a positive electrode tab. At least part of the positive electrode body is coated with an active material layer, and at least part of the positive electrode tab is not coated with an active material layer. The negative electrode plate includes a negative electrode body and a negative electrode tab. At least part of the negative electrode body is coated with an active material layer, and at least part of the negative electrode tab is not coated with an active material layer. The positive electrode body, the negative electrode body, and the separator form the electrode body 321 of the electrode assembly 32. The positive electrode tab and the negative electrode tab can be located at one end of the electrode body 321 together or at both ends of the electrode body 321 respectively. During the charging and discharging process of the battery cell 30, the positive active material and the negative active material react with the electrolyte, and the tabs 322 are connected to the electrode terminals to form a current loop.
[0104] In the first aspect, asFigure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown in Figure 6 , Figure 8 , the battery cell 30 provided by the embodiment of the present application includes a housing 31, an electrode assembly 32, and an insulating member 40. The housing 31 includes a first wall 313. The electrode assembly 32 is accommodated in the accommodation cavity 31a of the housing 31. The insulating member 40 is disposed on the side of the first wall 313 facing the electrode assembly 32. The insulating member 40 has a boss 41 protruding toward the electrode assembly 32. The boss 41 has a flow channel 41a. The flow channel 41a communicates with the accommodation cavity 31a on both sides of the boss 41 along the first direction X. The first direction X intersects with the thickness direction Z of the first wall 313.
[0105] The housing 31 may include a housing body 311 and an end cap 312. Optionally, the first wall 313 may be a part of the housing body 311, or the first wall 313 may be a part of the end cap 312.
[0106] The electrode assembly 32 may include an electrode body 321 and a tab 322. The tab 322 is led out from the end of the electrode body 321. Optionally, the tab 322 may be led out from the end of the electrode body 321 facing the first wall 313, or the tab 322 may be led out from the end of the electrode body 321 facing away from the first wall 313. Of course, the tab 322 may be led out from the end of the electrode body 321 facing the wall where the housing 31 intersects with the first wall 313.
[0107] The insulating member 40 is disposed on the side of the first wall 313 facing the electrode assembly 32. The insulating member 40 may be used for insulating the first wall 313 from the electrode assembly 32. The insulating member 40 has a boss 41 protruding toward the electrode assembly 32. The boss 41 may be used to limit the electrode assembly 32, or the boss 41 may be used to protect related structural members on the first wall 313, etc.
[0108] Since the boss 41 has a flow channel 41a, optionally, the boss 41 has one or more flow channels 41a arranged at intervals. The flow channel 41a may extend only along the first direction X, or the flow channel 41a may be bent inside the boss 41.
[0109] The flow channel 41a communicates with the accommodation spaces on both sides of the boss 41 along the first direction X. Then, the electrolyte on either side of the boss 41 along the first direction X can also flow to the other side of the boss 41 along the first direction X through the flow channel 41a.
[0110] The first direction X intersects with the thickness direction Z of the first wall 313, so the first direction X intersects with the protruding direction of the boss 41. The boss 41 can be arranged in the middle of the first wall 313 along the first direction X, so that the sizes of the spaces on both sides of the boss 41 along the first direction X are equivalent. Of course, the boss 41 can also be arranged deviating from the middle of the first wall 313, and the specific position and use of the boss 41 can be set according to actual needs.
[0111] Optionally, the first direction X can be the direction with a larger dimension of the first wall 313, or the first direction X can be the direction with a smaller dimension of the first wall 313.
[0112] The boss 41 protrudes towards the electrode assembly 32, so the boss 41 is located in the accommodation cavity 31a. The presence of the boss 41 may cause a certain obstruction to the flow of the electrolyte inside the accommodation cavity 31a. By providing the boss 41 with a flow channel 41a and arranging the flow channel 41a to communicate with the accommodation cavities 31a on both sides of the boss 41 along the first direction X, the electrolyte located on either side of the boss 41 along the first direction X in the accommodation cavity 31a can flow to the other side of the boss 41 along the first direction X through the flow channel 41a, so that the electrolyte can make full use of the spaces of the accommodation cavities 31a on both sides of the boss 41 along the first direction X, and can fully wet each part of the electrode assembly 32 corresponding to both sides of the boss 41 along the first direction X, which is beneficial to improving the utilization rate of the electrolyte for the internal space of the battery cell 30, and is beneficial to improving the wettability of the electrolyte to the electrode assembly 32, and reducing the risk of lithium deposition on the electrode assembly 32.
[0113] For the battery cell 30 provided by the embodiment of the present application, by providing the boss 41 of the insulating member 40 with a flow channel 41a and arranging the flow channel 41a to communicate with the accommodation cavities 31a on both sides of the boss 41 along the first direction X, the fluidity of the electrolyte inside the battery cell 30 is improved, which is beneficial to improving the utilization rate of the electrolyte for the internal space of the battery cell 30, and is beneficial to improving the wettability of the electrolyte to the electrode assembly 32, reducing the risk of lithium deposition on the electrode assembly 32, and further improving the reliable performance of the battery cell 30.
[0114] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 8 shown, the first wall 313 has a liquid injection hole 3131, and the liquid injection hole 3131 is arranged at the side of the orthographic projection of the boss 41 along the thickness direction Z on the first wall 313 along the first direction X. The liquid injection hole 3131 is communicated with the accommodation cavity 31a and is used for injecting electrolyte into the accommodation cavity 31a.
[0115] The liquid injection hole 3131 communicates with the accommodation cavity 31a. The liquid injection hole 3131 is provided on the side of the orthographic projection of the boss 41 along the thickness direction Z on the first wall 313 along the first direction X. During the process of injecting the electrolyte into the accommodation cavity 31a through the liquid injection hole 3131, the presence of the flow channel 41a on the boss 41 makes the connectivity of the parts of the accommodation cavity 31a on both sides of the boss 41 along the first direction X better, which is beneficial to improving the smoothness of the electrolyte injection.
[0116] During the process of injecting the electrolyte, the electrolyte can flow from one side of the boss 41 to the other side along the first direction X through the flow channel 41a, more electrolyte can be injected, and the electrolyte can wet more parts of the electrode assembly 32.
[0117] Therefore, such a setting is beneficial to improving the smoothness of the electrolyte injection, further beneficial to improving the utilization rate of the space of the accommodation cavity 31a by the electrolyte, improving the wettability of the electrolyte to the electrode assembly 32, and further reducing the risk of lithium deposition on the electrode assembly 32.
[0118] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the insulating part 40 has a stop portion 42, the stop portion 42 protrudes towards the electrode assembly 32, the stop portion 42 includes a bottom wall 421 and a side wall 422, the bottom wall 421 is disposed opposite to at least a part of the liquid injection hole 3131, the side wall 422 intersects and connects with the bottom wall 421, and the side wall 422 has a communication port 422a, and the communication port 422a communicates the liquid injection hole 3131 with the accommodation cavity 31a.
[0119] The stop portion 42 includes a bottom wall 421 and a side wall 422 intersecting with the bottom wall 421. The side wall 422 has a communication port 422a, and the communication port 422a communicates with the accommodation cavity 31a so that the electrolyte can flow into the accommodation cavity 31a through the communication port 422a. The side wall 422 can have one or two communication ports 422a. The side wall 422 can be integrally formed, or the stop portion 42 includes a plurality of side walls 422. Exemplarily, the stop portion 42 includes two side walls 422, and the two side walls 422 are respectively connected to both sides of the bottom wall 421 along the first direction X.
[0120] During the process of injecting the electrolyte into the accommodation cavity 31a through the liquid injection hole 3131, it is necessary to use a liquid injection needle to insert into the liquid injection hole 3131. After the liquid injection needle is inserted into the liquid injection hole 3131, since the bottom wall 421 of the stop portion 42 is disposed opposite to at least a part of the liquid injection hole 3131, the bottom wall 421 of the stop portion 42 can provide a certain limiting effect on the liquid injection needle, reducing the risk of the liquid injection needle damaging the electrode assembly 32.
[0121] Therefore, by providing the stopper portion 42 and arranging the bottom wall 421 of the stopper portion 42 to face at least a part of the liquid injection hole 3131, during the process of injecting the electrolyte, the bottom wall 421 of the stopper portion 42 can provide a certain limiting effect on the liquid injection needle, reducing the risk of the liquid injection needle damaging the electrode assembly 32.
[0122] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the electrode assembly 32 includes an electrode body 321 and a tab 322. The tab 322 is led out from the end of the electrode body 321 facing the first wall 313, and the boss 41 abuts against the electrode body 321.
[0123] Since the boss 41 abuts against the electrode body 321, the boss 41 can provide a certain limiting effect on the electrode body 321, reducing the risk of the electrode assembly 32 shaking within the housing 31.
[0124] Since the boss 41 abuts against the electrode assembly 32, the electrolyte on either side of the boss 41 along the first direction X can flow through the flow channel 41a of the boss 41 to the other side of the boss 41 along the first direction X, improving the utilization rate of the space of the accommodation cavity 31a by the electrolyte and improving the wettability of the electrolyte to the electrode assembly 32.
[0125] Therefore, arranging the boss 41 to abut against the electrode body 321 and providing the boss 41 with the flow channel 41a is conducive to improving the utilization rate of the internal space of the battery cell 30 by the electrolyte and improving the wettability of the electrolyte to the battery cell 30 while reducing the risk of the electrode assembly 32 shaking and improving the structural stability of the electrode assembly 32.
[0126] In some embodiments, the dimension of the first wall 313 along the first direction X is greater than the dimension of the first wall 313 along the second direction Y, and the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the thickness direction Z are perpendicular to each other in pairs.
[0127] Since the dimension of the first wall 313 along the first direction X is greater than the dimension of the first wall 313 along the second direction Y, the space on both sides of the boss 41 along the first direction is larger, which is conducive to improving the smoothness of electrolyte injection during the process of injecting the electrolyte into the accommodation cavity 31a through the first wall 313.
[0128] In addition, since the space on both sides of the boss 41 along the first direction X is larger, the process of the electrolyte flowing from either side of the boss 41 along the first direction X to the other side will be smoother, which is conducive to improving the fluidity of the electrolyte within the accommodation cavity 31a, improving the utilization rate of the internal space of the battery cell 30 by the electrolyte, and improving the wettability of the electrolyte to the electrode assembly 32.
[0129] In some embodiments, as Figure 8As shown, the flow channel 41a extends along the first direction X and penetrates through the boss 41.
[0130] Since the flow channel 41a extends along the first direction X, there is no bend inside the boss 41 for the flow channel 41a. During the process of the electrolyte flowing from one side to the other side of the flow channel 41a along the first direction X, it is beneficial to improve the smoothness of the electrolyte flowing in the flow channel 41a.
[0131] In some embodiments, the boss 41 includes a plurality of flow channels 41a, and the plurality of flow channels 41a are arranged at intervals along the second direction Y. The first direction X, the second direction Y, and the thickness direction Z are perpendicular to each other in pairs.
[0132] Since the plurality of flow channels 41a are arranged at intervals along the second direction Y, different flow channels 41a will not affect each other. By providing a plurality of flow channels 41a, it is beneficial to increase the amount of the electrolyte flowing from one side to the other side of the boss 41 along the first direction X. During the process of injecting the electrolyte, it is beneficial to improve the smoothness of the electrolyte injection and is beneficial to improve the wettability of the electrolyte to the electrode assembly 32.
[0133] In some embodiments, both sides of the boss 41 along the second direction Y are respectively abutted against the outer shell 31. The first direction X, the second direction Y, and the thickness direction Z are perpendicular to each other in pairs.
[0134] Both sides of the boss 41 along the second direction Y are respectively abutted against the outer shell 31, which is beneficial to improve the structural stability of the insulator and is beneficial to improve the insulation performance of the insulator 40 to the electrode assembly 32 and the first wall 313.
[0135] By providing the flow channel 41a on the boss 41, the electrolyte can flow from one side of the boss 41 to the other side through the flow channel 41a, which is further beneficial to improve the utilization rate of the internal space of the battery cell 30 by the electrolyte and is beneficial to improve the wettability of the electrolyte to the electrode assembly 32.
[0136] Therefore, with such a setting, it is beneficial to improve the utilization rate of the internal space of the battery cell 30 by the electrolyte and is beneficial to improve the wettability of the electrolyte to the electrode assembly 32 on the premise of improving the structural stability of the insulator 40.
[0137] In some embodiments, as Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, the flow channel 41a is in a groove shape, and the side of the flow channel 41a facing the electrode assembly 32 has an opening.
[0138] The flow channel 41a is in the shape of a groove and has an opening facing the side of the electrode assembly 32. After the electrolyte flows into the flow channel 41a, it can flow through the opening to the electrode assembly 32 opposite to the boss 41, which is beneficial to further improve the wettability of the electrolyte to the electrode assembly 32, and is beneficial to improve the connectivity of the internal space of the accommodation cavity 31a, further beneficial to improve the fluidity of the electrolyte in the accommodation cavity 31a. Moreover, the flow channel 41a is in the shape of a groove, which is convenient for the processing and forming of the flow channel 41a and is beneficial to simplify the processing technology of the insulating part 40.
[0139] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the battery cell 30 further includes a pressure relief mechanism 50, and the pressure relief mechanism 50 is arranged on the first wall 313 and is arranged opposite to the boss 41. The boss 41 has a hollow hole 41b, the hollow hole 41b communicates with the accommodation cavity 31a and is arranged opposite to the pressure relief mechanism 50, and the flow channel 41a is arranged at an interval from the hollow hole 41b.
[0140] The pressure relief mechanism 50 can be opened when the pressure inside the battery cell 30 reaches the pressure relief threshold of the battery cell 30, so as to relieve the pressure of the battery cell 30 in time when the battery cell 30 has a risk of thermal runaway and reduce the risk of explosion of the battery cell 30.
[0141] Optionally, the boss 41 can have one or more hollow holes 41b, and the hollow holes 41b can be arranged opposite to the pressure relief mechanism 50 along the thickness direction Z of the first wall 313, so that the gas inside the battery cell 30 exerts pressure on the pressure relief mechanism 50 through the hollow holes 41b. When the air pressure inside the battery cell 30 reaches the pressure relief threshold of the pressure relief mechanism 50, the pressure relief mechanism 50 can be opened in time and the gas inside the battery cell 30 can be discharged through the hollow holes 41b.
[0142] In this way, the setting of the boss 41 can make the air pressure inside the battery cell 30 act on the pressure relief mechanism 50 through the hollow holes 41b and make the pressure relief mechanism 50 open in time when the air pressure inside the battery cell 30 reaches its pressure relief threshold.
[0143] Therefore, setting the hollow hole 41b of the boss 41 opposite to the pressure relief mechanism 50 is convenient for the pressure relief mechanism 50 to open in time. In this way, on the premise that the setting of the boss 41 is beneficial to the timely opening of the pressure relief mechanism 50, the flow channel 41a of the boss 41 is beneficial to improve the fluidity of the electrolyte on both sides of the boss 41 along the first direction X, and further beneficial to improve the wettability of the electrolyte to the electrode assembly 32.
[0144] In some embodiments, as Figure 8 shown, the orthographic projection of the flow channel 41a on the first wall 313 is arranged offset from the pressure relief mechanism 50.
[0145] In this way, it is beneficial to reduce the influence of the flow channel 41a on the normal pressure relief of the pressure relief mechanism 50, and it is beneficial to further improve the reliable performance of the battery cell 30.
