Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a battery field, especially a kind of segmented battery metal shell and the battery using it. BACKGROUND

[0002] Cylindrical battery refers to the battery with cylindrical shape, commonly used in lithium battery, sodium battery and various battery types. This kind of battery is widely used because of its simple structure, small size and easy mass production.

[0003] The shell of cylindrical lithium battery is usually made of metal, such as steel and aluminum, which mainly functions to protect the components inside the battery and provide a sealed environment for the battery. Currently, the production of battery shell is usually completed using a drawing process, in which the greater the drawing depth, the more difficult it is to ensure the quality of the drawn part, for example: 1. If the drawing pressure is not properly controlled when the drawing depth increases, wrinkles may occur on the sheet, especially at greater depths, which is more prominent; 2. As the depth increases, the thickness of the metal gradually decreases, especially in the bottom area. If the uniformity during the drawing process is not sufficient, the bottom may become too thin, or even perforated; 3. As the depth increases, the cold work hardening effect of the metal material may become more pronounced, which reduces the plasticity of the material and makes subsequent forming more difficult, increasing the risk of rupture during the drawing process.

[0004] Therefore, the utility model provides a segmented battery metal shell and the battery using it, by setting the battery shell as a segmented split structure, which can greatly reduce the drawing depth required during the shell production process, thereby reducing the probability of quality problems occurring during the production of the battery shell, ensuring the quality of the battery shell.
