Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of battery technology, specifically an L-shaped tab and a soft-pack battery structure. Background Technology

[0002] With the commercialization of lithium-ion cells, the market has been constantly exploring ways to improve the energy density of lithium-ion batteries. How to improve the energy density of lithium-ion batteries has always been a pursuit of technical personnel.

[0003] Traditional laminated battery cells or multi-tab wound pouch cells generally require the outer tabs to be soldered to the inner tabs of the bare cell, such as... Figure 1 As shown in the diagram, a typical outer electrode ear consists of three parts: a long electrode ear stem 10-1, PP glue 6, and a narrow electrode ear stem 10-2. The PP glue 6 and the narrow electrode ear stem 10-2 are close together.

[0004] like Figure 4 As shown in the diagram of a conventional laminated or multi-tab wound bare cell, the narrow tab 10-2 of the outer tab is welded to the inner tab 9. To improve energy density, the narrower the tab 10-2 is designed, the better. However, an excessively narrow tab will cause the welding position to be close to the PP adhesive 6. When the welding energy is too high, it is easy to cause the PP adhesive 6 to melt at high temperature, which will reduce the reliability of the package. When the welding energy is too low, although the risk of PP adhesive 6 melting is reduced, the reliability of the package will be reduced. Therefore, this has always been a difficult point for pouch laminated cells or multi-tab wound cells.

[0005] like Figure 6 As shown in the schematic diagram of a conventional pouch battery structure, the top seal of the pouch battery consists of an unsealed area 3-1 inside the top seal, a sealed area 3-2 inside the top seal, an unsealed area 3-3 outside the top seal, exposed PP adhesive 6-1, and tabs 7. The side seal consists of an unsealed area 2-1 inside the side seal and a sealed area 2-2 inside the side seal. The function of the top seal area 3-2 and the side seal area 2-2 is to seal, ensuring that the electrolyte inside the pouch battery does not leak out and that outside air does not enter the cell. This sealed area needs to have a certain width to ensure battery reliability. The main functions of sealing area 3-1 and unsealed area 2-1 inside the side seal are to prevent excess adhesive from accumulating and reduce the probability of cell corrosion. The function of unsealed area 3-3 outside the top seal is to prevent excess adhesive from accumulating and overflowing after sealing. The function of exposed PP adhesive 6-1 is to prevent cell tabs from contacting the aluminum layer of the aluminum-plastic film, which could lead to cell corrosion. The widths of unsealed area 3-1 inside the top seal, sealing area 3-2 inside the top seal, unsealed area 3-3 outside the top seal, and exposed PP adhesive 6-1 all have their own functions and require a certain width. The narrower the total width, the more helpful it is for improving battery energy density.

[0006] like Figure 6As shown in the schematic diagram of a conventional soft-pack battery structure, there is no need to seal in the heat-sealing area 4, and there is no need to cut a notch at the intersection 5 of the top sealing area 3-2 and the side sealing area 2-2.

[0007] like Figure 11 As shown in the side view of a conventional stacked or multi-tab wound soft-pack battery structure, the minimum design width of the unsealed area 3-1 inside the top seal is 2mm, the minimum width of the top seal sealing area 3-2 is 2mm, the width of the unsealed area 3-3 outside the top seal is 1mm, and the width of the exposed PP adhesive 6-1 is 2mm. The total minimum width of the unsealed area 3-1 inside the top seal, the top seal sealing area 3-2, the unsealed area 3-3 outside the top seal, and the exposed PP adhesive 6-1 is approximately 7mm, and the average design width of the top seal area is approximately 10mm.

[0008] Patent No. 202022065752.X describes a method that reduces the length of the battery cell by pre-bending the inner tab and then welding a three-dimensional tab to the bent inner tab. Theoretically, this method can reduce the length space. However, the inner tab is made of multiple layers of copper or aluminum foil welded together, making it difficult to bend further. In addition, the three-dimensional tab requires reinforcement and welding paste to assist in the stability of the welding. This structure is quite difficult to implement, especially in terms of how to weld the inner tab to the three-dimensional tab. Therefore, it is still necessary to find a new structural method that can improve energy density and is easy to implement. Utility Model Content

[0009] To reduce the top seal width, increase energy density, and improve packaging and welding reliability, this invention proposes an L-shaped tab structure and a pouch battery structure based on conventional single-sided tab cells. This is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0010] An L-shaped tab and pouch battery structure includes a cell body and an L-shaped tab. The cell body includes a side sealing area, a top sealing area, and a bare cell. The side sealing area and the top sealing area are sealed to form a closed space. The bare cell is disposed in the closed space. The side sealing area includes an unsealed area inside the side seal and a sealed area inside the side seal. The top sealing area includes an unsealed area inside the top seal, a sealed area inside the top seal, and an unsealed area outside the top seal. The unsealed area inside the side seal and the unsealed area inside the top seal are connected by heat sealing to form a heat-sealed area.

[0011] The L-shaped electrode includes a first L-shaped electrode and a second L-shaped electrode. The first L-shaped electrode includes a long electrode handle and a first transverse electrode handle connected to the long electrode handle. The second L-shaped electrode includes a long electrode handle and a second transverse electrode handle connected to the long electrode handle. The first transverse electrode handle is welded to the first inner electrode on the bare battery cell, and the second transverse electrode handle is welded to the second inner electrode on the bare battery cell.

[0012] The top sealing area and the side sealing area are cut with a notch. The long electrode lug is covered with PP glue, including exposed PP glue, which is located outside the unsealed area. The long electrode lug, exposed PP glue and top sealing edge area are bent to form a top edge L-shaped or top edge side U-shaped folded edge structure.

[0013] Furthermore, the width of the first transverse pole handle is 1.1-4.0 times the width of the long pole handle, preferably 2 times.

[0014] Furthermore, the width of the second transverse pole handle is 1.1-4.0 times, preferably 2.0 times, the width of the long pole handle.

[0015] Furthermore, the width of the unsealed area inside the top seal is 1-10mm, preferably 2-6mm.

[0016] Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the heat-sealed area is a combination of one or more shapes, such as fan-shaped, triangular, rectangular, and square, with a surface area of ​​1-100 mm². 2 Between 5-25mm is preferred. 2 .

[0017] Furthermore, the cut portion at the intersection is in the shape of one or more shapes, such as square, rectangle, or sector, with a surface area of ​​1-100 mm². 2 Between 5-20mm is preferred. 2 .

[0018] Furthermore, the total number of bends in the long electrode lug, exposed PP adhesive, and top sealing area is 2-5 times, preferably 2 times.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] 1. Through the novel irregular tab and battery structure, multiple benefits can be achieved for stacked cells or multi-tab wound cells, including improved energy density, i.e., reducing the width of the top seal end. Compared with the traditional design, the total width of the top seal area, including the unsealed area, the sealed area, the unsealed area outside the top seal, the exposed PP glue, and the long tab stem, can be reduced by 2-4mm after bending, compared with the extreme 7mm top seal end design. The improvement in top edge space utilization is more than 28% in conventional cases, and the extreme improvement can reach more than 60%.

[0021] 2. Since the welding position is no longer close to PP glue 6, the high-temperature heat transfer during welding is significantly lower than that of conventional cell structures, reducing the risk of PP glue melting at high temperatures and greatly improving the reliability of the packaging.
