Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to battery technology field, concretely is a kind of high-stability cylindrical battery steel shell structure. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the rapid development of modern science and technology, the performance requirements of batteries in various electronic devices and new energy vehicles and other fields are increasingly improved. Cylindrical batteries are widely used in many application scenarios due to their compact structure, relatively high energy density, and ease of assembly. However, in actual application, the cylindrical battery steel shell structure still faces many stability problems, which need to be solved to further improve the overall performance and safety of the battery.
[0003] In the use of the battery, the steel shell needs to withstand various forces from the inside and outside. From the inside, a series of complex chemical reactions occur during the charging and discharging of the battery, which often accompanies the generation and absorption of gas, causing the internal pressure of the battery to be in a state of constant change. For example, during fast charging, the chemical reaction rate inside the battery increases, the amount of gas generated increases, and the internal pressure rises sharply. The ordinary steel shell structure is prone to swelling and deformation under this pressure, which may cause the distance between the electrode and the steel shell to decrease, increasing the risk of short circuit and affecting the normal use and life of the battery. Moreover, as the energy density of the battery continues to increase, the volume change of the electrode material during charging and discharging is more significant, and the stress on the steel shell also increases accordingly, which puts higher requirements on the structural stability of the steel shell. From the external factors, the battery will inevitably be subjected to various mechanical impacts in actual application scenarios, such as accidental dropping of electronic devices, bumps and vibrations during driving of new energy vehicles, etc. The traditional cylindrical battery steel shell structure has limited rigidity and deformation resistance when facing these external impact forces, and is prone to local indentation, deformation, or even rupture, which not only damages the sealed environment inside the battery, causing electrolyte leakage and affecting battery performance, but also may cause safety hazards such as short circuit, overheating, or even fire and explosion.
[0004] In summary, the existing cylindrical battery steel shell structure still has many deficiencies in dealing with the stability problems of internal pressure changes, external mechanical impact and heat management, etc., and it is difficult to meet the needs of current high-performance and high-safety battery applications, therefore, an innovative and high-stability cylindrical battery steel shell structure that comprehensively considers various factors is urgently needed to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art.

[0008] Preferably, the number of reinforcing ribs is several, and the spacing between every two adjacent reinforcing ribs is 0.5 cm.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the high-stability cylindrical battery steel shell structure has the following advantages: through the cooperation between the reinforcing rib and the reinforcing plate, the overall strength can be increased, through the cooperation between the heat-conducting rod and the graphite heat dissipation sticker, the heat generated inside the battery can be better transferred to the outside, thereby achieving the purpose of heat dissipation, and through the fire-resistant buffer cotton, the reinforcing plate can be buffered to a certain extent, so that the battery cell inside the reinforcing plate will not be damaged due to collision with the inner wall, and the harm caused by accidental situations of the battery cell can also be avoided; the device not only uses internal reinforcing ribs and reinforcing plates to cooperate, disperse stress, improve structural stability and reduce deformation, but also uses heat-conducting rods and graphite heat dissipation stickers to cooperate, effectively control temperature and avoid the influence of high temperature on performance, in addition, the fire-resistant buffer cotton inside enhances safety protection, heat insulation and buffering, and comprehensively improves performance in many aspects, and the cost-benefit balance is achieved without significantly increasing cost and process complexity, which can better adapt to complex working conditions and has application value.

[0014] The technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of the utility model.
[0015] Please refer to Figs. 1-3 The utility model provides a kind of technical scheme: a high stability cylindrical battery steel shell structure, including first shell 1, the upper and lower ends of first shell 1 are respectively provided with second shell 2 and third shell 3, the inner cavity circumference of first shell 1 is provided with reinforcing rib 4, the inside of reinforcing rib 4 is provided with reinforcing plate 5, the outer wall circumference of reinforcing plate 5 is mounted with the one end of multiple heat conduction rods 6, and the other end of heat conduction rod 6 is fixedly connected on the inner wall of first shell 1, the inside of first shell 1 and reinforcing plate 5 is filled with fire-resistant buffer cotton 7.
[0016] As a preferred scheme, further, the outer wall of first shell 1, second shell 2 and third shell 3 is provided with graphite heat dissipation patch 8.
[0017] As a preferred scheme, further, the number of reinforcing rib 4 is several, and the spacing between every two adjacent reinforcing rib 4 is 0.5cm.
[0018] Its detailed connection means is the technology known in the art, and the following mainly introduces working principle and process, and specific work is as follows.
[0019] By adding multiple reinforcing ribs on the inner circumference of the steel shell and adding reinforcing plates on the inner side of the reinforcing ribs, a multi-layer reinforcing structure is formed. When facing the pressure changes generated inside during the charging and discharging process of the battery (such as gas pressure fluctuations caused by chemical reactions and stress generated by electrode volume changes) and external mechanical impact forces (such as electronic device falling, jolt and vibration during vehicle driving, etc.), the reinforcing ribs and reinforcing plates can work together to effectively disperse stress and avoid stress concentration in local areas of the steel shell. The overall stress of the steel shell is more uniform, greatly enhancing the steel shell's ability to resist deformation and reducing the occurrence of deformation such as local indentation, swelling, rupture, etc. to ensure that the internal components of the battery are always in a stable space environment, ensuring the normal operation and service life of the battery. Compared with the existing ordinary steel shell structure, the maximum deformation of the steel shell of the utility model can be reduced by more than [X] % under the same stress conditions, and the structural stability is significantly improved.
[0020] Heat-conducting rods are arranged on the inner side of the reinforcing plate and the steel shell, which are made of materials with high thermal conductivity (such as copper, aluminum, etc.), which can quickly conduct the heat accumulated inside the steel shell during battery operation. These heat-conducting rods are in close contact with the inner wall of the steel shell, the reinforcing plate, etc., forming a high-efficiency heat conduction network to ensure that heat does not accumulate locally inside the steel shell and cause excessive temperature. At the same time, the graphite heat dissipation stickers arranged on the outer wall of the steel shell further enhance the heat dissipation effect, which can quickly dissipate heat to the external environment due to its large heat conduction area and good heat transfer performance. Through this internal and external combined heat management method, the temperature of the steel shell can be effectively controlled under high-rate charging and discharging or long-term continuous use conditions, etc. For example, under the same charging and discharging conditions, the maximum temperature of the steel shell structure of the utility model can be reduced by about [X] °C compared with the traditional steel shell structure, avoiding problems such as the mechanical properties of the steel shell material decreasing due to high temperature, the chemical reaction inside the battery being unbalanced, etc., maintaining the stability of the battery performance, prolonging the overall service life of the battery, and helping to improve the use safety of the battery in high-temperature environments.
[0021] A fire-resistant buffer cotton is arranged on the inner side of the steel shell, which is made of materials with good fire resistance and buffering performance (such as ceramic fiber cotton, etc.). In the event of abnormal heating or even thermal runaway of the battery, the fire-resistant buffer cotton can play an excellent heat insulation role, delaying the rapid transfer of heat to the steel shell wall and the outside, giving more time for appropriate safety measures to be taken, reducing the risk of serious consequences caused by thermal runaway. Moreover, when the battery is subjected to external mechanical actions such as vibration and impact during daily use, the fire-resistant buffer cotton also acts as a buffer layer to effectively absorb the impact force between the internal components such as the electrode and the steel shell, avoiding damage to the steel shell due to hard impact, further protecting the integrity and stability of the steel shell, improving the overall safety of the battery, and reducing the probability of safety accidents caused by battery failure.
[0022] The steel shell structure of the utility model improves the performance of the battery steel shell in stress, heat dissipation and safety protection and the like through the synergistic effect of the above-mentioned multiple innovative designs, so that it can better adapt to the complex working condition requirements of modern high-performance and high-safety battery applications. Compared with some existing improvement methods that simply rely on replacing high-cost high-strength materials or adding complex heat dissipation devices at the battery module level, the utility model realizes significant performance improvement without significantly increasing material cost and manufacturing process complexity, helps to control the production cost of the battery, improves the market competitiveness of the product, has good economic benefits and practical value on the basis of ensuring the performance and stability of the battery.
