Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of batteries, and in particular to a collecting plate and a battery. Background Art

[0002] In traditional cylindrical battery cells, a tab is usually extended from the positive and negative electrodes of the core to connect the top cover and the shell, serving as a conductive channel for the positive and negative electrodes. Due to the size limitation of the tab, the current carrying capacity of the battery cell is limited. The full-tab technology, on the other hand, is a design and technology that extends the copper foil and aluminum foil on both sides of the positive and negative electrodes of the core to the two ends of the core as tabs, then welds the collector plate and the tabs, and finally welds the collector plate to the top cover (or pole column) and the shell. The full-tab technology can greatly increase the connection area between the battery core, pole column, and shell, thereby improving the current carrying capacity of the battery cell, reducing the internal resistance of the battery cell, and ultimately improving the power and fast charging performance of the cylindrical battery cell.

[0003] At present, the mainstream full-tab technology adopts a cut-and-stack tab design: the empty foil tabs at both ends of the core are cut into strips by laser and folded and flattened toward the center of the core to form a welding surface, and then a laser is used to penetrate the collector plate to weld the collector plate and the welding surface.

[0004] A major difficulty with this technical solution is that, due to the limitations of the laser die-cutting process, the tabs are evenly distributed and of similar length on the end face of the core. This results in uneven distribution of tab layers on the surface formed after folding. That is, the number of layers of the hollow foil tabs varies at different locations, with fewer layers at the center and edges of the core, and only one annular area on the entire end face of the core having more tab layers that is suitable for stable and cut welding. Furthermore, the welding surface formed by the tabs is not a plane, while conventional collector plates are planar structures. This can result in a large gap between the contact surface of the hollow foil tabs and the conventional collector plates. This gap can easily lead to poor contact between the tabs and the collector plates, and a lack of close fit can cause phenomena such as blown welds, over-welding, and cold welds during the laser welding process of the tabs and the collector plates.

[0035] In addition, the terms "first", "second" are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined with "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited.

[0036] In the present application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connection", "connection", "fixing" and the like should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixed connection, or detachable connection, or integral; it can be mechanical connection, or electrical connection; it can be direct connection, or indirect connection through intermediate medium, or internal communication of two elements or interaction relationship between two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0037] In the present application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the first feature "on" or "under" the second feature can be direct contact between the first and second features, or indirect contact between the first and second features through intermediate medium. Moreover, the first feature "above", "above" and "above" the second feature can be directly above or obliquely above the first feature, or only indicate that the horizontal height of the first feature is higher than that of the second feature. The first feature "below", "below" and "below" the second feature can be directly below or obliquely below the first feature, or only indicate that the horizontal height of the first feature is less than that of the second feature.

[0038] The existing battery cell is generally formed by winding the positive electrode, the separator, the negative electrode and the separator around the center axis in sequence to form a roll core, and the positive and negative electrode blank foil tabs are formed at both ends of the roll core. The laser die-cutting forms a strip-shaped tab, and after winding, it is pushed down to the center of the end face and flattened.

[0039] The existing current collecting plate structure is usually a planar structure, and after the lug is cut and folded, the distribution of the tab layers is uneven, which causes the surface to be non-planar, and further causes a gap between the planar current collecting plate and the tab, which easily causes poor contact and may even cause short circuit. Therefore, the surface of the current collecting plate is designed to be convex, so that it can fully contact the tab, thereby preventing the occurrence of poor contact.

[0040] The current collecting plate provided by the application can be used for the positive and negative terminals of the battery, and the material of the current collecting plate should be one of aluminum alloy and nickel-plated aluminum alloy; the material of the negative terminal current collecting plate should be one of copper and nickel-plated copper.

[0041] Specifically, the application provides a current collecting plate, which comprises a disc body 100, a first protrusion 200, a second protrusion 300, and a third protrusion 400.

[0042] The first protrusion 200 has a plurality of first protrusions 200 uniformly spaced on the disc body 100, and a liquid injection port 500 is provided between adjacent first protrusions 200, the liquid injection port 500 being provided through the disc body 100, the second protrusion 300 being provided at the end of each first protrusion 200 towards the center of the disc body 100, and the third protrusion 400 being provided at the end of each first protrusion 200 away from the center of the disc body 100.

[0043] Referring to Figure 1 As shown in the drawings, the first protrusion 200, the second protrusion 300, and the third protrusion 400 are convexly arranged on the surface of the disc body 100, and in this embodiment, the first protrusion 200, the second protrusion 300, and the third protrusion 400 are integrally formed by coining, and the first protrusion 200, the second protrusion 300, and the third protrusion 400 form a boss protruding from the surface of the disc body 100. Therefore, when welding, the boss will contact the tab in a flattened state, thereby flattening the tab that may have been warped again, allowing the boss to fully contact the tab in a flattened state, thereby improving the adhesion of the disc body 100 to the tab and preventing poor contact, short circuit, and other phenomena.

[0044] The first protrusion 200 is parallel to the surface of the disc body 100, the second protrusion 300 is inclined relative to the surface of the disc body 100, and the third protrusion 400 is inclined relative to the surface of the disc body 100.

[0047] In the embodiment, the heights of the second protrusion 300 and the third protrusion 400 are higher than that of the first protrusion 200, and therefore, the first protrusion 200, the second protrusion 300 and the third protrusion 400 form a "concave" shape.

[0052] The distance between the highest point of the second protrusion 300 and the surface of the disc body 100 and the distance between the highest point of the third protrusion 400 and the surface of the disc body 100 are both H, and satisfy: 0.2mm≤H≤1mm.

[0054] The third protrusion 400 forms an angle β with the surface of the disc body 100, which satisfies: 0°<β≤20°.
