[0002] Lithium batteries, as important energy storage devices, are widely used in electronic devices, electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and other fields. One of the core components of a lithium battery is the battery cell, and key components within the cell are the positive and negative electrode tabs. Tabs are conductors that connect the active material within the battery cell to the external circuit, and their performance directly impacts the battery's charge and discharge efficiency, cycle life, and safety. Therefore, well-designed and high-performance tabs are crucial to improving the overall performance of lithium batteries.

[0003] Although the existing lithium battery tab design has been widely used in various battery products, it still has some structural deficiencies. First, the connection between the tab and the battery cell mainly relies on welding, which can easily lead to fatigue damage of the welding point after the battery has undergone multiple charge and discharge cycles, thereby causing the contact resistance to increase or even disconnect, affecting battery performance. Secondly, the welding positioning of the tab during the battery assembly process requires high operating precision, which is not only time-consuming but also increases production costs. In addition, in applications such as electric vehicles, battery packs are often faced with varying degrees of vibration and impact. Traditional tab structures are difficult to effectively resist these external forces, which may cause the tab to loosen or fall off, reducing the safety and reliability of the battery.

[0016] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] See also Figure 1-3The utility model provides a technical solution: a lithium battery tab with a fixing part, comprising a tab body 1 and a fixing part 2, wherein one end of the tab body 1 is provided with a connecting portion 11 matching the battery core current collector, and the fixing part 2 is provided at the other end of the tab body 1, and the fixing part 2 comprises an elastic base 21 and a plurality of anti-slip protrusions 22, a cavity 211 is provided inside the elastic base 21, and the cavity 211 is filled with an elastic material 212, and the anti-slip protrusions 22 are evenly distributed on the outer surface of the elastic base 21, and the tab body 1 and the elastic base 21 are connected by a snap-fit ​​structure 3, and the snap-fit ​​structure 3 comprises a card slot 31 provided on the tab body 1 and a card hook 32 provided on the elastic base 21, and this structure is connected by a snap-fit ​​structure 3. The cooperation between the groove 31 and the hook 32 realizes the rapid installation and disassembly of the tab body 1 and the elastic base 21. At the same time, the cavity 211 inside the elastic base 21 and the elastic material 212 filled therein can absorb and buffer external vibrations, reducing the stress concentration at the connection between the tab and the battery cell. The anti-slip protrusions 22 are evenly distributed on the outer surface of the elastic base 21, increasing the friction between the tab and the battery cell contact surface, further enhancing the stability of the connection. Therefore, through the joint action of the fixing member 2 structure, the overall stability and vibration resistance of the tab body 1 are significantly improved, effectively solving the problem of poor connection stability between the tab body 1 and the battery cell in the prior art, which is easily loosened or falls off due to vibration. The connection part 11 The connecting portion 11 is a flat metal sheet, and the width of the connecting portion 11 matches the width of the battery current collector, and the thickness of the connecting portion 11 is 0.1mm to 0.3mm. The connecting portion 11 of this structure can fit tightly with the battery current collector through the design of the flat metal sheet, ensuring good electrical contact performance and mechanical connection strength. At the same time, the flat design reduces the thickness of the connecting portion 11, reduces the overall volume and weight of the pole ear, and is conducive to improving the space utilization and lightweight design of the battery. The thickness range of the connecting portion 11 ensures sufficient mechanical strength and avoids material waste and cost increase caused by excessive thickness. The elastic base 21 is a long strip structure made of silicone rubber, and the elastic material 212 is foamed. The elastic base 21 is made of polyurethane and conforms to the shape of the cavity 211. This structure provides good flexibility and resilience, can effectively absorb and buffer external vibrations, and reduce stress concentration at the connection between the tab and the battery cell. The elastic material 212 made of foamed polyurethane fills the cavity 211, further enhancing the buffering performance of the elastic base 21 and ensuring the stability and reliability of the tab in high vibration and high mechanical stress environments. At the same time, the elongated structural design enables the elastic base 21 to better fit the tab body 1, improving the compactness and consistency of the overall structure. The height of the anti-slip protrusions 22 is 0.5mm to 1.0mm, and the spacing between the anti-slip protrusions 22 is 1.0mm to 2.0mm, the anti-slip protrusions 22 of this structure increase the friction between the contact surface of the pole ear and the battery core, effectively preventing the pole ear from sliding or falling off under vibration or external force, and improving the stability of the connection. At the same time, the uniform distribution of the anti-slip protrusions 22 on the surface of the elastic base 21 ensures a good anti-slip effect and avoids material waste caused by too small a spacing and insufficient anti-slip performance caused by too large a spacing, thereby maintaining reliable connection performance in a variety of application environments. The shape of the card slot 31 is a rectangular structure, and the shape of the card hook 32 is a barb shape, and the size of the card hook 32 matches the card slot 31. There are two card slots 31 and two card hooks 32. The rectangular structure of the card slot 31 provides a stable positioning function to ensure the accuracy of the connection, while the barb-shaped card hook 32 can firmly It fits into the slot 31 to prevent loosening or falling out due to vibration or external forces. The precise matching of the hook 32's dimensions with the slot 31 ensures a tight and stable connection, simplifies the assembly process, and improves production efficiency. The tab body 1 is made of aluminum, with a thickness of 0.1mm to 0.2mm. Reinforcing ribs 12 are provided along the edge of the tab body 1 along its length. This structure ensures excellent electrical conductivity and light weight thanks to the aluminum material. The thickness of the tab body 1 ensures sufficient mechanical strength, reduces material usage, and reduces cost and weight. The reinforcing ribs 12 further enhance the rigidity of the tab body 1, improving its resistance to bending and vibration, and effectively preventing deformation or damage due to external forces during use.

[0018] Working principle: When using the lithium battery tab with a fixing part, first align the connecting part 11 at one end of the tab body 1 with the battery cell current collector, ensure that the width of the connecting part 11 matches the width of the battery cell current collector, then fit the connecting part 11 tightly on the battery cell current collector and firmly connect it by welding, then align the elastic base 21 of the fixing part 2 with the other end of the tab body 1, align the hook 32 on the elastic base 21 with the slot 31 on the tab body 1, gently press the elastic base 21 so that the hook 32 is firmly embedded in the slot 31, and complete the fixing part 2 and the tab. The connection of the main body 1, at this time, the cavity 211 inside the elastic base 21 and the filled elastic material 212 can absorb and buffer external vibrations, reduce the stress concentration at the connection between the pole ear main body 1 and the battery cell, and the anti-slip protrusions 22 on the outer surface of the elastic base 21 are evenly distributed, which increases the friction between the contact surface of the pole ear and the battery cell, further enhancing the stability of the connection. At the same time, the reinforcing ribs 12 enhance the rigidity of the pole ear main body 1 and improve its ability to resist bending and vibration. The entire installation process is simple and quick, without the need for complicated operations, greatly improving production efficiency, thereby completing a series of tasks.
