[0033] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the accompanying drawings are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0034] Implementation Method 1

[0035] Because when the existing cylindrical battery cell is pierced by a needle, the winding core has no fixing and protection structure, the positive and negative poles are easily short-circuited, causing an internal short circuit, which causes the internal temperature of the battery to rise sharply, resulting in thermal runaway, and the battery cell is prone to fire, explosion, etc.

[0036] The battery cell structure of the present invention includes a first electrode piece, a second electrode piece and a diaphragm. The first electrode piece, the diaphragm and the second electrode piece are stacked and wound in sequence to form a winding core 1; a first finishing glue 2 is pasted on the side of the winding core 1, and the first finishing glue 2 is coated with a heat-sensitive coating 3 on the side facing the outer direction Y of the winding core. The surface of the heat-sensitive coating 3 is coated with a flame retardant layer 4, and the surface of the flame retardant layer 4 is pasted with a second finishing glue 5. The utility model optimizes the battery cell structure and coats a heat-sensitive coating 3 and a flame retardant layer 4 between the first finishing glue 2 and the second finishing glue 5 respectively. When the battery cell is pierced by a needle, the heat rises, and the heat-sensitive coating 3 can expand or melt at high temperature, wrapping the short-circuit point between the steel needle and the positive and negative electrodes of the battery, reducing the contact area between the steel needle and the positive and negative electrodes, alleviating the short-circuit reaction in the battery, and improving the needle penetration rate of the cylindrical battery cell. At the same time, the flame retardant layer 4 can melt into a liquid and flow into the battery cell, which can block the thermal runaway of the battery and prevent the battery cell from catching fire, exploding, etc. Among them, the utility model adopts a double-layer structure composed of the first finishing glue 2 and the second finishing glue 5, which can fix the core 1 and prevent the core 1 from being damaged or deformed; in addition, the double-layer finishing glue can provide double-layer protection for the core 1, which helps to improve the safety performance of the battery cell.

[0037] It should be noted that the material and thickness of the first finishing glue 2 and the second finishing glue 5 are consistent. The first finishing glue 2 adopts a single-sided coating structure, that is, the side of the first finishing glue 2 facing the inner side direction X of the core is directly in contact with the side of the core 1, and the side of the first finishing glue 2 facing the outer side direction Y of the core is coated with a heat-sensitive coating 3; the second finishing glue 5 is also a single-sided coating structure, and the side of the second finishing glue 5 facing the inner side direction X of the core is coated with a flame retardant layer 4, and the side of the second finishing glue 5 facing the outer side direction Y of the core is not coated with the flame retardant layer 4, and this surface serves as the outermost layer of the battery cell and plays an insulating role.

[0038] In the battery cell structure according to the present invention, the first finishing adhesive 2, the heat-sensitive coating 3, the flame retardant layer 4, and the second finishing adhesive 5 are sequentially arranged around the side of the core 1. Specifically, the first finishing adhesive 2, the heat-sensitive coating 3, the flame retardant layer 4, and the second finishing adhesive 5 form a four-layer structure, which covers the side of the core 1 in accordance with the law. The side of the core 1 is the cylindrical surface of the core 1. The first finishing adhesive 2, the heat-sensitive coating 3, the flame retardant layer 4, and the second finishing adhesive 5 form a four-layer structure outside the cylindrical surface of the core 1. The first finishing adhesive 2 is located in the innermost layer, the heat-sensitive coating 3 is located in the second innermost layer, the flame retardant layer 4 is located in the second outermost layer, and the second finishing adhesive is located in the outermost layer.

[0039] In the battery core structure according to the present invention, the thermosensitive coating 3 and the flame retardant layer 4 are in contact with each other, and the thermosensitive coating 3 and the flame retardant layer 4 are respectively coated in the double-layer finishing glue. The thermosensitive coating 3 and the flame retardant layer 4 are in contact with each other, and both are layered structures at normal temperature, and deform at high temperature.

[0040] In the battery cell structure according to the present invention, the cell structure also includes an outer shell, within which the core 1 is disposed. The sum of the radius of the core 1, the thickness of the heat-sensitive coating 3, the thickness of the flame retardant layer 4, and the thickness of the second finishing adhesive 5 is less than the radius of the outer shell. Specifically, to facilitate installation within the outer shell, the outer shell radius is larger than the radius of the core 1, and space is reserved for the thickness of the heat-sensitive coating 3, the thickness of the flame retardant layer 4, and the thickness of the second finishing adhesive 5. Furthermore, the core 1 is cylindrical, and the outer shell is preferably cylindrical, preferably aluminum. However, this is not limiting to the present invention, and the shape and material of the outer shell can be adjusted according to the actual battery structure.

[0041] In the battery cell structure according to the present invention, the flame retardant layer 4 preferably adopts a gel structure, which can melt into liquid and flow into the battery cell, thereby blocking thermal runaway of the battery and preventing the battery cell from catching fire, exploding, etc.

[0042] The working principle of this utility model is:

[0043] The utility model optimizes the battery cell structure and coats a heat-sensitive coating 3 and a flame retardant layer 4 between the first finishing glue 2 and the second finishing glue 5 respectively. When the battery cell is pierced by a needle, the heat rises, and the heat-sensitive coating 3 can expand or melt at high temperature, wrapping the short-circuit point between the steel needle and the positive and negative electrodes of the battery, reducing the contact area between the steel needle and the positive and negative electrodes, alleviating the short-circuit reaction in the battery, and improving the needle penetration rate of the cylindrical battery cell. At the same time, the flame retardant layer 4 can melt into a liquid and flow into the battery cell, which can block the thermal runaway of the battery and prevent the battery cell from catching fire, exploding, etc. Among them, the utility model adopts a double-layer structure composed of the first finishing glue 2 and the second finishing glue 5, which can fix the core 1 and prevent the core 1 from being damaged or deformed; in addition, the double-layer finishing glue can provide double-layer protection for the core 1, which helps to improve the safety performance of the battery cell.

[0044] Implementation Method 2

[0045] Unlike the first embodiment, the diaphragm in this embodiment has a tail end, which is located at the outermost circle of the winding core 1. A first tail glue 2 is adhered to the side of the tail end facing the outer side of the winding core 1. The number of winding turns of the tail end of the diaphragm is 1 to 2, and the number of winding turns of the first tail glue 2 is at least 1. Specifically, the tail end of the diaphragm is wound around the winding core 1 one or two times, preferably 1.5 times, and is adhered to the tail end by the first tail glue 2 to prevent displacement of the tail end of the diaphragm. Accordingly, the first tail glue 2 wraps around the winding core 1 at least once, ensuring that the first tail glue 2 completely covers the side of the winding core 1, thereby fixing the winding core 1 and preventing damage or deformation of the winding core 1.

[0046] The other structures are the same as those in the first embodiment and will not be described again here.

[0047] Implementation Method 3

[0048] Different from the first embodiment, the cross-section of the core 1 of this embodiment is circular, elliptical or square. The core 1 preferably adopts a cylindrical structure, and the cross-section of the core 1 is circular, but the present invention is not limited to this. The structure in which the heat-sensitive coating 3 and the flame retardant layer 4 are respectively coated between the first finishing glue 2 and the second finishing glue 5 can also be applied to batteries with other cross-sectional shapes.
