Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of large cylindrical battery technology, and in particular to a large cylindrical battery core. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional cylindrical battery single-tab structures, when applied to large cylindrical batteries, suffer from increased internal resistance, weak overcurrent capacity, and short cycle life. Large cylindrical batteries often employ a full-tab structure, requiring the tabs to be welded to the current collector, with the current collector pressing on top of the tabs and the laser striking the current collector. Due to the full-tab structure, the tabs are essentially electrode foils, and air exists between the foils. Air is a poor conductor of heat, hindering heat dissipation. Therefore, the heat from laser welding is transferred along the foil into the core, melting the separator below the welding path. Once the separator melts, the positive and negative electrodes come into contact, causing a short circuit. How to prevent the separator from melting during laser welding of the current collector and core foil, and improve product yield, has become a pressing problem for the mass production of large cylindrical batteries. Therefore, this application proposes a large cylindrical battery core to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies where, due to the all-tab structure (where the tabs are electrode foils with air gaps between them), the heat from laser welding is transferred along the foils into the core, melting the separator below the welding path. This melting of the separator leads to contact between the positive and negative electrodes, causing a short circuit. This invention proposes a large cylindrical battery core.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A large cylindrical battery core includes a core comprising a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet, and a separator. The battery also includes:

[0006] The foil is provided in multiple forms, and each foil is disposed on the end face of the core, with a crumpled surface provided at the top of the foil.

[0007] A collector plate, wherein the collector plate is welded onto the kneading surface;

[0008] A thermally conductive material is disposed below the kneading plane and above the positive electrode plate.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the thermally conductive material is made of silicone or UV adhesive.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the end face of the core is subjected to processes such as cutting, stacking, and kneading.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the thermally conductive material does not participate in the internal chemical reaction of the battery.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, gaps are provided between the plurality of foils, and thermally conductive material is filled in the gaps.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the thermally conductive material is an insulating material. Beneficial effects

[0014] 1. The above-mentioned heat-conducting material fills the gap between the electrode and the foil. During laser welding, it intercepts the heat that is longitudinally transmitted to the separator and diffuses this heat laterally to the non-welding area. The heat is then dissipated into the air, preventing the heat from being transmitted longitudinally and melting the separator below the welding area, thus avoiding short circuits and explosions caused by the melting of the separator in the battery.

[0015] 2. The above-mentioned thermally conductive materials can improve battery performance, reduce the mutual reaction between the positive electrode material and the electrolyte, and avoid electrolyte loss and electrode surface damage.

[0016] 3. The above-mentioned thermally conductive materials improve battery safety performance. The foil area is relatively fragile, and filling it with thermally conductive materials provides support.

[0017] This invention fills the space between the welding plane on the core and the positive electrode material (the foil area) with a thermally conductive material, transferring the welding heat to other electrodes that do not participate in the welding. This provides favorable process conditions for welding the current collector, while the filled thermally conductive material also enhances the structural strength of the core.
