AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Cylindrical batteries generate a lot of gas during the formation stage and cannot release it in time, which leads to an increase in internal pressure. This causes the Vent to flip and break the solder joint, resulting in the cell being scrapped.

Method used

The design incorporates a manifold and a sealing plug to seal the battery cell before formation. After formation, the sealing plug is removed, and the cover plate is welded to the manifold for sealing, ensuring timely gas discharge. The welding effect is enhanced through the first and second recessed areas, and a stepped structure between the cover plate and the manifold is used for secondary sealing.

Benefits of technology

This enables timely removal of gas during the formation process, preventing the battery cell from being scrapped due to excessive gas production, reducing the risk of poor soldering and leakage, and improving the reliability and safety of the battery cell.
