DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0029] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are illustrative and intended to provide further explanation of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs.
[0030] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. This embodiment discloses a secondary battery, such as Figure 1As shown, secondary battery 100 comprises a prismatic aluminum shell 101, a core 102 after tidal disc welding, and a cover plate 103. The top of aluminum shell 101 and the edge of cover plate 103 are welded together using laser seam welding, while the bottom of aluminum shell 101 and the core 102 after tidal disc welding are welded together using laser penetration welding. The prismatic appearance of secondary battery 100 facilitates assembly into modules, thereby increasing the overall energy density of the module.
[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the core 102 after current plate welding includes a tab flattened core 201, a negative current collecting disk 202, and a positive current collecting disk 203; the negative current collecting disk 202 and the positive current collecting disk 203 are laser-penetrated and welded to the tab flattened core 201 respectively.
[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the negative collector plate 202 comprises a negative collector plate core 20201 on one side and an aluminum shell 20202 on the other. Both the negative collector plate core 20201 and the aluminum shell 20202 are made of copper sheets, welded together via a leaf spring. The negative collector plate core 20201 is laser-welded to the tab-flattened core 201, while the negative collector plate aluminum shell 20202 is laser-welded to the bottom of the aluminum shell 101.
[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, the positive collector disc 203 includes a positive collector disc core side 20301 on one side and a positive collector disc cover side 20302 and a positive electrode post 20303 on the other side. Both the positive collector disc core side 20301 and the positive collector disc cover side 20302 are made of aluminum sheets, welded together via a leaf spring. The positive collector disc core side 20301 is laser-welded to the tab-flattened core 201; the positive collector disc cover side 20302 is laser-seamed welded to the positive electrode post 20303; and the positive electrode post 20303 is laser-seamed welded to the cover 103.
[0034] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, the liquid injection hole 10003 is located on the positive electrode column 20303, and there is an end face QR code 10002 on the cover plate 103 on one side of the positive electrode column 20303; at the same time, there is a side QR code 10001 on the side of the aluminum shell 101 and a bottom QR code on the bottom, and the battery information is input to facilitate identification by staff.
[0035] like Figure 5As shown, a circular explosion-proof valve 10101 is located at the bottom of the aluminum shell 101. To avoid the positive electrode 20303, a cover plate positive electrode through-hole 10301 is provided in the middle of the cover plate 103. The positive electrode 20303 passes through the cover plate positive electrode through-hole 10301. The positive electrode 20303 of the positive current collecting plate 203 first passes through the cover plate positive electrode through-hole 10301 in the middle of the cover plate 103 and is then laser seam welded to the cover plate 103. The circular explosion-proof valve 10101 ensures that if the battery fails during use and the internal pressure exceeds the limit, it can actively release pressure, reducing the risk of battery explosion.
[0036] The aluminum shell is negatively charged and the positive pole is positively charged. This structure ensures that the positive and negative poles of the secondary battery are on the same side, making it convenient for the secondary battery to form a module and also convenient for the later maintenance of the module. The positive collecting plate is connected to the positive pole, the inner hole of the positive pole is set as the liquid injection hole, and the circular explosion-proof valve is placed at the bottom of the aluminum shell. This structural setting is to prepare for the inverted placement of the secondary battery in the module in the future.
[0037] like Figure 6 As shown, the two ends of the tab flattening core 201 are respectively the negative tab flattening tab 20101 and the positive tab flattening tab 20102; Figure 7 As shown, the tab flattening core 201 includes a cylindrical core 301, a retainer 302, and a prismatic core 303. The cylindrical core tabs 30101 at both ends of the cylindrical core 301 and the prismatic core tabs 30301 at both ends of the prismatic core 303 are flattened simultaneously, forming the negative flattened tab 20101 and the positive flattened tab 20102 of the tab flattening core 201, respectively. The retainer 302 has a circular inner hole 30201 for securing the cylindrical core 301; the outer hole is prismatic for winding the prismatic core 303.
[0038] Secondary battery 100 utilizes a combined cylindrical core 301 and prismatic core 303, significantly increasing the energy capacity of a single prismatic battery cell. The retainer 302, with its standard outer prism and inner cylindrical hole, provides support and restraint for cylindrical core 301, ensuring effective winding of prismatic core 303 while perfectly balancing the inner cylindrical core's securement and the outer prismatic core's winding. The aluminum shell and retainer ensure uniform force distribution during expansion of the prismatic and cylindrical cores, ensuring safety. This also effectively reduces lithium deposition and capacity degradation.
[0039] The secondary battery production process in this embodiment is as follows:
[0040] First, a cylindrical core 301 is formed by winding, and cylindrical core tabs 30101 are simultaneously produced. The produced cylindrical core 301 is installed into the inner hole 30201 of the retainer 302. Then, a prismatic core 303 is wound around the outer side of the retainer 302, and prismatic core tabs 30301 are simultaneously produced.
[0041] At the same time, the cylindrical core tabs 30101 on both sides of the cylindrical core 301 and the prismatic core tabs 30301 of the prismatic core 303 are flattened to form the tab-flattened core 201; the negative current collecting disc 202 and the positive current collecting disc 203 are laser-penetrated and welded to form the core 102 after the current disc is welded;
[0042] The welded core 102 of the current collecting disk is placed in the aluminum shell 101. The bottom of the aluminum shell 101 is then welded to the negative collecting disk aluminum shell side 20202 of the negative collecting disk 202. The positive electrode post 20303 of the positive collecting disk 203 is passed through the cover 103. The aluminum shell 101 and the cover 103 are then laser seam welded. Finally, the cover 103 and the positive electrode post 20303 of the positive collecting disk 203 are laser seam welded.
[0043] The assembled secondary battery is baked; then liquid is injected into the secondary battery through the liquid injection hole 10003; then it is formed and replenished; the liquid injection hole 10003 is sealed and welded, and the secondary battery production is completed.
[0044] The secondary battery of the present invention has an appearance of a regular hexagon, but can of course also be presented in other regular polygons. In order to facilitate the inversion of the battery in the module, an aluminum shell is adopted in which the shell is negatively charged, the positive pole is positively charged, the injection hole is located on the positive pole, and the explosion-proof valve is located at the bottom of the aluminum shell. Bipolar columns or other presentation forms are also within the scope of this patent. The battery QR code is located in three places: on the cover, on the side of the shell, and on the bottom of the shell.
[0045] Although the above describes the specific implementation methods of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, it does not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Technical personnel in the relevant field should understand that on the basis of the technical solution of the present invention, various modifications or variations that can be made by technical personnel in this field without creative work are still within the scope of protection of the present invention.
