[0036] See appendix Figure 2 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a large cylindrical shell bottom center liquid-filled battery, including an aluminum shell 100, a bare cell 200, a positive electrode assembly 300, and a negative electrode assembly 400.
[0037] See Figure 3 , 3As shown, an aluminum shell 100 is disposed on the surface of the bare cell 200, and a positive electrode assembly 300 and a negative electrode assembly 400 are respectively disposed at both ends of the bare cell 200. The positive electrode assembly 300 is electrically connected to the aluminum shell 100.
[0038] See , 4 As shown, the aluminum shell 100 includes a shell 110 sleeved on the surface of the bare battery cell 200. The end of the shell 110 facing the negative electrode assembly 400 is open. The end of the shell 110 near the positive electrode current collector 310 is provided with a first protrusion 111. The first protrusion 111 and the shell 110 are integrally formed by extrusion. The first protrusion 111 is the positive electrode post. The shell 110 is provided with a liquid injection hole 120. The first protrusion 111 has an annular structure, and the liquid injection hole 120 is located at the center of the first protrusion 111.
[0039] The positive electrode assembly 300 includes a positive electrode current collector 310 welded to the positive end face of the bare cell 200. The positive electrode current collector 310 is attached to the inner wall surface of the housing 110, and a through hole corresponding to the liquid injection hole 120 is provided on the positive electrode current collector 310.
[0040] In the above-mentioned cylindrical bottom center-filled battery, the first protrusion 111 is the positive electrode post, and the injection hole 120 is located at the center of the first protrusion 111, which facilitates the positioning of the cell injection center hole and reduces the risk of uneven force or tilting during the injection process. Compared with other cylindrical eccentric injection methods, it is simpler and the process is more reliable. Welding the positive current collector 310 to the wide area of the bare cell 200 end face greatly increases the current-carrying area, reduces the connection resistance, and has a strong ability to withstand large currents, thus achieving high-power charge and discharge performance of the bare cell 200.
[0041] The bare cell 200 is made by winding a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator.
[0042] A second protrusion 311 is provided at the center of the surface of the positive current collector 310, and a through hole is opened at the center of the second protrusion 311. The positive current collector 310 is completely attached to and fused with the inner wall surface of the housing 110.

The plastic retaining ring 320 is located between the casing 110 and the positive current collector 310. The plastic retaining ring 320 is attached to the positive current collector 310, and a clearance fit is used between the plastic retaining ring 320 and the casing 110. The plastic retaining ring 320 is made of modified PP material, which can withstand temperatures up to about 160°C and can stabilize the bare cell 200.
[0044] The negative electrode assembly 400 includes a negative electrode current collector 410 welded to the negative terminal face of the bare battery cell 200. A negative electrode post 420 is fixedly connected to the side of the negative electrode current collector 410 away from the bare battery cell 200. A lower plastic 430 is fixedly connected to the end of the bare battery cell 200 away from the positive electrode current collector 310. Both the negative electrode current collector 410 and the negative electrode post 420 are located in the inner cavity of the lower plastic 430. A negative electrode top cover 440 is fastened to the side of the lower plastic 430 away from the bare battery cell 200. The negative electrode top cover 440 is welded to the opening of the housing 110 to achieve a seal. An upper plastic 450 is fixedly connected to the center of the surface of the negative electrode top cover 440. A negative electrode upper pressure plate 460 is fixedly connected to the center of the surface of the upper plastic 450. The negative electrode post 420 adopts a stepped structure, and the end of the negative electrode post 420 away from the negative electrode current collector 410 passes through the center of the lower plastic 430, the negative electrode top cover 440, the upper plastic 450 and the negative electrode upper pressure plate 460 in sequence.
[0045] The negative electrode current collector 410 has a stepped bending structure. The lower bending surface of the negative electrode current collector 410 is welded to the negative terminal face of the bare cell 200; the upper bending surface of the negative electrode current collector 410 is welded to the negative electrode post 420; the first protrusion 111 and the negative electrode post 420 have the same height. The plastic fixing ring 320 and the negative electrode top cover 440 have a compact structure, small volume, and high energy density. This allows the large cylindrical shell bottom center liquid injection battery to be connected in series with the aluminum busbars on the same side or opposite side, which makes the battery module forming method flexible and applicable to multiple scenarios.
[0046] In order to facilitate electrolyte wetting and heat dissipation of the bare cell 200, in this embodiment, through holes are provided at the center and around the surface of the negative electrode current collector 410.
[0047] To facilitate the assembly and placement of the negative current collector 410, in this embodiment, both the lower plastic 430 and the upper plastic 450 are made of insulating, temperature-resistant, acid and alkali-resistant modified PP material, and the surface of the lower plastic 430 is provided with a limiting groove that is compatible with the negative current collector 410, so that the lower plastic 430 has a limiting and foolproof function.
[0048] In order to seal the bare cell 200, in this embodiment, a sealing ring 470 is provided at the penetration point of the negative electrode top cover 440 and the upper plastic 450. The inner wall surface of the sealing ring 470 is in contact with the surface of the negative electrode post 420. The sealing ring 470 is made of EPDM material.
[0049] In order to monitor the pressure changes inside the battery in real time, in this embodiment, an explosion-proof safety valve is installed inside the negative electrode top cover 440. Once the internal pressure exceeds the set threshold, the explosion-proof safety valve will automatically open to release the accumulated pressure and ensure the safety of the battery. A protective sheet 480 is attached to the surface of the explosion-proof safety valve to prevent foreign objects from damaging the explosion-proof safety valve.
[0050] The negative electrode current collector 410 adopts a stepped structure and runs through all other components of the negative electrode assembly 400. Through the riveting pressure between the negative electrode top cover 400 and the negative electrode post 420, the deformation of the sealing ring 470 reaches 15%-30%, thereby sealing the bare cell 200 and completing the forming of the negative electrode assembly 400.
[0051] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles of the present invention. The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. The above embodiments and descriptions in the specification are only illustrative of the principles of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the scope of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
