[0050] At present, from the development of market situation, the application of battery is more and more widely. The battery is not only applied to the energy storage power supply system of hydropower, thermal power, wind power and solar power station, but also widely used in electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric vehicles and other electric vehicles, military equipment, aerospace and other fields. With the continuous expansion of the application field of battery, the demand of its market is also increasing.
[0051] The battery comprises a plurality of battery cells connected in series, parallel or mixed connection. In the current battery cell, the liquid injection process will cause a certain impact on the electrode sheet of the electrode assembly, resulting in dislocation and even tearing of the electrode sheet, and reducing the safety.
[0052] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In order to alleviate the above problems, the application provides a battery cell, which comprises a shell, an electrode assembly and an insulating piece 10. The shell comprises a shell body and an end cover, the end cover covers the opening of the shell body, and the end cover is provided with a liquid injection hole. The electrode assembly and the insulating piece 10 are accommodated in the shell body, and the insulating piece 10 is arranged between the end cover and the electrode assembly. The insulating piece 10 has a first surface 12 facing the end cover, and the first surface 12 is provided with a flow guide groove 11 extending at least to the side edge 21 of the insulating piece 10 arranged in the length direction and / or width direction thereof. The normal projection of the flow guide groove 11 and the liquid injection hole in the thickness direction of the insulating piece 10 at least partially overlaps.
[0053] The shell is used to provide an accommodation space for accommodating the electrode assembly and the insulating piece 10. The shell can be a square shell battery, a blade battery or other batteries.
[0054] The electrode assembly is the main component for electrochemical reaction in the battery cell, which comprises a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet and a separator. The positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet are arranged alternately, and the separator is arranged between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet. The above-mentioned electrode sheet can be a positive electrode sheet or a negative electrode sheet.
[0055] The insulating piece 10 is arranged between the electrode assembly and the end cover, and is used to realize the insulation between the electrode assembly and the end cover. Generally, in the thickness direction of the insulating piece 10, the normal projection of the insulating piece 10 completely covers the electrode assembly, so as to ensure that the end cover and the electrode assembly have better insulation effect.
[0056] The normal projection of the flow guide groove 11 and the liquid injection hole in the thickness direction of the insulating piece 10 at least partially overlaps, so that the electrolyte injected from the liquid injection hole of the end cover falls into the flow guide groove 11, and then flows along the flow guide groove 11 and flows down from the side edge 21 of the insulating piece 10 and collects in the shell body. Generally, in the thickness direction of the insulating piece 10, the normal projection of the insulating piece 10 completely covers the electrode assembly, so that the electrolyte falling from the side edge 21 of the insulating piece 10 generally flows into the gap between the electrode assembly and the shell body. This kind of mode can weaken the impact of the electrolyte on the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet of the electrode assembly, and the possibility of dislocation and tearing of the electrode sheet is reduced, and the safety is improved. In addition, when the electrolyte flows in the flow guide groove 11, the kinetic energy is weakened and the flow speed is slowed down along with the extension of the flow path, so that the impact force when flowing to the gap between the electrode assembly and the shell body is appropriately weakened, and the risk of dislocation and tearing of the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet is further reduced, and the safety is improved.
[0057] In some embodiments, the flow guide groove 11 includes a first flow guide groove 111 extending to opposite side edges 21 of the insulating piece 10 along the width direction of the insulating piece 10. The insulating piece 10 has a smaller size in the width direction, and the first flow guide groove 111 extending to the two side edges 21 along the width direction of the insulating piece 10 has a shorter length, which is beneficial to improve the flow efficiency of the electrolyte and improve the production efficiency.
[0058] Of course, in other embodiments, the flow guide groove 11 can also extend to the two edges along the length direction of the insulating piece 10, or the flow guide groove 11 is in the shape of a "cross" and extends to each side edge 21 of the insulating piece 10 along the length direction and the width direction of the insulating piece 10.
[0059] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 In some embodiments, the insulating piece 10 has a second surface 13 facing away from the end cover; the first surface 12 has an exhaust area 14 provided with an exhaust hole 15 penetrating the first surface 12 and the second surface 13; and the flow guide groove 11 further includes a second flow guide groove 112 communicating between the first flow guide groove 111 and the exhaust hole 15.
[0060] The explosion-proof valve is provided on the end cover, and high-temperature flue gas generated by the electrode assembly during operation is sequentially discharged to the outside of the battery monomer through the exhaust hole 15 of the exhaust area 14 and the explosion-proof valve.
[0061] By designing the first flow guide groove 111 and the second flow guide groove 112, the electrolyte can fall through the first flow guide groove 111 and the side edge 21 of the insulating piece 10, or fall through the second flow guide groove 112 and the exhaust hole 15. The first flow guide groove 111 and the second flow guide groove 112 cooperate to divide and guide the electrolyte to fall, have high flow guiding efficiency, and can relieve the impact force on the electrode assembly and reduce the risk of damage to the electrode assembly.
[0062] In some embodiments, the depth of the second flow guide groove 112 gradually increases from the first flow guide groove 111 to the exhaust hole 15. Therefore, the bottom wall of the second flow guide groove 112 forms an inclined surface and can guide the electrolyte to flow to the exhaust hole 15, and the liquid guiding effect is good.
[0063] In some embodiments, the exhaust area 14 and the first flow guide groove 111 are arranged along the length direction of the insulating piece 10, and the exhaust area 14 is located in the central area of the insulating piece 10 along the length direction thereof. In this design, on the one hand, not only can the electrolyte be divided, but also the impact and damage of the electrolyte on the electrode assembly can be reduced, and on the other hand, the electrolyte falling from the exhaust hole 15 spreads in the electrode assembly from the inside to the outside, while the electrolyte falling from the side edge 21 of the insulating piece 10 spreads in the electrode assembly from the outside to the inside, and the cooperation of the two can realize the rapid diffusion of the electrolyte, and the efficiency of the electrode assembly to soak the electrolyte is high.
[0064] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the exhaust area 14 has a first convex part 16 protruding from the second surface 13 and recessed in the direction away from the end cover, the first convex part 16 abuts against the electrode assembly, and the exhaust hole 15 is located on the first convex part 16. The first convex part 16 corresponds to the position of the explosion-proof valve and is used to abut against the electrode assembly to prevent the electrode assembly from shifting and moving, thereby improving the stability of the electrode assembly in the battery monomer.
[0065] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the flow guide groove 11 includes a third flow guide groove 113 extending along the circumferential direction of the insulating piece 10, and a plurality of distribution holes 19 penetrating the groove bottom of the third flow guide groove 113 and the second surface 13 are arranged in the third flow guide groove 113. The distribution holes 19 in the third flow guide groove 113 also extend along the circumferential direction of the insulating piece 10. In this design, on the one hand, the electrolyte can be output from the two side edges 21 of the insulating piece 10 along the first flow guide groove 111, and on the other hand, the electrolyte flows into the third flow guide groove 113 from the first flow guide groove 111, and then falls from each distribution hole 19 in the third flow guide groove 113 along the circumferential direction of the insulating piece 10, not only the effect of dividing is good, but also the impact force of the electrolyte flowing out of each distribution hole 19 in the third flow guide groove 113 is small, thereby further improving the safety of liquid injection.
[0066] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, the flow guide groove 11 is recessed from the first surface 12 to between the first surface 12 and the second surface 13, or a second convex part 17 is formed on the side of the insulating piece 10 away from the end cover, and the flow guide groove 11 is recessed from the first surface 12 to the second convex part 17. The flow guide grooves 11 formed in the two forms can guide the flow of electrolyte and improve the safety of the battery monomer.
[0067] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5In some embodiments, the width of the guide groove 11 is L, 0.1mm < L ≤ 5mm; and / or, the guide groove 11 is recessed from the first surface 12 to between the first surface 12 and the second surface 13, the maximum depth of the guide groove 11 is H1, and the thickness of the insulating member 10 is H2, 0.1mm < H1 < H2, and 0.3H2 ≤ H1 ≤ 0.6H2.
[0068] Specifically, L can be, but is not limited to, 0.1mm, 1mm, 2.5mm, 3mm or 5mm, and H1 can be, but is not limited to, 0.3H2, 0.4H2, 0.5H2 or 0.6H2.
[0069] When 0.1mm < L ≤ 5mm, the flow channel 11 has a large area; when 0.1mm < H1 < H2, the flow channel 11 has a large volume. In both cases, the electrolyte flows smoothly within the flow channel 11, resulting in high flow efficiency. When 0.3H2 ≤ H1 ≤ 0.6H2, the flow channel 11 has minimal impact on the strength of the insulating component 10, ensuring its mechanical strength.
[0070] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the insulating member 10 has a liquid passage hole 18 that passes through the first surface 12 and the second surface 13. The liquid passage hole 18 partially overlaps with and communicates with the guide groove 11.
[0071] For example, with Figure 1 For example, the first guide channel 111 is connected to the liquid passage hole 18.
[0072] The electrolyte passage 18 is connected to the flow channel 11, allowing electrolyte to flow directly into the electrolyte passage 18 through the injection hole or the flow channel 11. The electrolyte passage 18 can divert the electrolyte to reduce the impact force of the electrolyte flowing out of the flow channel 11 from the side edge 21 of the insulating member 10 or the diversion hole 19, thereby improving the safety of the battery cell.
[0073] In some embodiments, the depth of the guide channel 11 gradually increases from the liquid passage hole 18 to the side edge 21 of the insulating member 10. In this way, the bottom wall of the guide channel 11 forms an inclined surface from the liquid passage hole 18 to the side edge 21 of the insulating member 10, which can guide the electrolyte to flow to the side edge 21 of the insulating member 10, resulting in good liquid guiding effect and high liquid guiding efficiency.
[0074] For example, with Figure 1 The middle guide channel 11 includes a first guide channel 111, and the middle position of the first guide channel 111 along its length direction is connected to the liquid passage hole 18. The bottom wall of the guide channel 11 forms an inclined surface from the liquid passage hole 18 to the two side edges 21 of the insulating member 10 along its width direction.
[0075] Please see Figure 1and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the flow guide groove 11 communicates with the liquid passing hole 18 along the width direction of the flow guide groove 11, and in this direction, the distance between the flow guide groove 11 and the liquid passing hole 18 is W, the diameter of the liquid passing hole 18 is D1, and W≥D1 / 2. Specifically, W is D1 / 2, D1 / 1.5, or D1, but is not limited to the listed ratios, and other unlisted ratios within the ratio range are also applicable.
[0076] The more the flow guide groove 11 coincides with the liquid passing hole 18, the greater the possibility that the electrolyte injected through the liquid injection hole of the end cover can be respectively shunted into the liquid passing hole 18 and the flow guide groove 11, the risk of difficult injection is reduced, the injection efficiency is improved, and the drainage effect is good.
[0077] Referring to Figures 4 to 7 In some embodiments, a plurality of liquid distribution holes 19 are arranged in the flow guide groove 11, penetrating the groove bottom wall and the second surface 13 of the flow guide groove 11. For example, a plurality of liquid distribution holes 19 are arranged in the first flow guide groove 111, the second flow guide groove 112, and the third flow guide groove 113, respectively, and all the liquid distribution holes 19 in each of the first flow guide groove 111, the second flow guide groove 112, and the third flow guide groove 113 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of each. Under this design, the electrolyte can be distributed through all the liquid distribution holes 19, the shunting effect is good, the impact of the electrolyte on the electrode assembly is reduced, and the safety of the injection is improved.
[0078] Referring to Figure 5 In some embodiments, the diameter of the liquid passing hole 18 is D1, the diameter of the liquid distribution hole 19 is D2, and 0.1mm<D2≤D1. Specifically, D2 is 0.1mm or D1, but is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the value range are also applicable.
[0079] If the diameter of the liquid distribution hole 19 is too small, it is not conducive to the flow of the electrolyte, and if the diameter of the liquid distribution hole 19 is too large, it may cause the tab to pass through the liquid distribution hole 19 and be lapped with the end cover, and the insulation effect of the end cover on the electrode assembly is lost. Therefore, by setting 0.1mm<D2≤D1, the flow of the electrolyte can be ensured, and the risk of short circuit between the electrode assembly and the end cover inside the battery monomer is reduced.
[0080] The application also provides a battery including the battery monomer according to any one of the above embodiments. The battery in the application has the effects brought by any one of the above embodiments, and thus will not be described here.
[0081] The application also provides a power consuming device including the battery according to the above embodiments. The power consuming device in the application has the effects brought by any one of the above embodiments, and thus will not be described here.
[0082] The electric device can be, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, a tablet, a notebook computer, an electric toy, an electric tool, an electric vehicle, an electric automobile, a ship, a spacecraft, and the like. The electric toy can include a fixed or mobile electric toy, such as a game console, an electric automobile toy, an electric ship toy, an electric aircraft toy, and the like. The spacecraft can include an airplane, a rocket, a space shuttle, a spacecraft, and the like.
[0083] It should be understood that the technical solutions described in the embodiments of the present application are not limited to the above-described electric device.
[0084] The above battery monomer, battery, and electric device, the flow guide groove 11 and the liquid injection hole at least partially overlap in the normal projection of the insulating piece 10 in the thickness direction, so that the electrolyte injected from the liquid injection hole of the end cover falls into the flow guide groove 11, and then flows along the flow guide groove 11 and falls from the side edge 21 of the insulating piece 10 and collects in the housing. Generally, in the thickness direction of the insulating piece 10, the normal projection of the insulating piece 10 completely covers the electrode assembly, so that the electrolyte falling from the side edge 21 of the insulating piece 10 generally flows into the gap between the electrode assembly and the housing. This can reduce the impact of the electrolyte on the positive and negative plates of the electrode assembly, reduce the possibility of plate misalignment or tearing, and improve safety. In addition, when the electrolyte flows in the flow guide groove 11, its kinetic energy decreases as the flow path lengthens, and the flow speed slows down, so that the impact force when flowing into the gap between the electrode assembly and the housing is appropriately reduced, further reducing the risk of plate misalignment or tearing, and improving safety.
[0085] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined in any manner. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described, but as long as the combinations of the technical features do not contradict, they should be considered within the scope of the present application.
[0086] The above-described embodiments only express several embodiments of the present application, which are described in detail and specifically, but should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which are within the scope of the present application. Therefore, the scope of the patent of the present application should be subject to the appended claims.
