[0042] To address the problem that the electrodes of the wound battery cell 100 are prone to breakage under varying internal stress in related technologies, this utility model provides a wound battery cell 100.

[0043] The wound battery cell 100 of this utility model embodiment includes a body 1 and a tail portion 2.

[0044] The body 1 includes a positive electrode 101, a negative electrode 102 and a separator 103. The positive electrode 101, the separator 103 and the negative electrode 102 are stacked and wound along the winding direction to form the body 1. The positive electrode 101 is provided with a positive electrode tab 1011 and the negative electrode 102 is provided with a negative electrode tab 1021.

[0045] At least one of the positive electrode 101, the separator 103 and the negative electrode 102 has a tail end connected to a tail portion 2. The tail portion 2 wraps around the body 1. At the same time, the tail portion 2 is provided with at least one folded portion 201. The folded portion 201 is formed by folding the tail portion 2 back along the winding direction. The folded portion 201 is adapted to be straightened along the winding direction when the volume of the body 1 increases.

[0046] The wound battery cell 100 of this utility model has a fold-back portion 201 provided at the end 2. Under the action of the internal stress generated during the electrochemical cycle of the wound battery cell 100, the fold-back portion 201 can be straightened along the winding direction, thereby reducing the internal stress of the wound battery cell 100 and reducing the probability of electrode breakage. In this way, the wound battery cell 100 is less prone to electrode breakage.

[0047] Therefore, the wound battery cell 100 of this utility model embodiment has the characteristic that the electrode sheets are not prone to breakage.

[0048] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 The following describes the wound battery cell 100 of this utility model embodiment.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, the wound battery cell 100 of this utility model embodiment includes a body 1 and a tail portion 2.

[0050] The body 1 includes a positive electrode 101, a negative electrode 102 and a separator 103. The positive electrode 101, the separator 103 and the negative electrode 102 are stacked and wound along the winding direction to form the body 1. The positive electrode 101 is provided with a positive electrode tab 1011 and the negative electrode 102 is provided with a negative electrode tab 1021.

[0051] At least one of the positive electrode 101, the separator 103, and the negative electrode 102 has a tail end connected to a tail portion 2. That is, the tail end of the positive electrode 101 can be connected to a tail portion 2, the tail end of the separator 103 can be connected to a tail portion 2, the tail end of the negative electrode 102 can be connected to a tail portion 2, the tail ends of both the positive electrode 101 and the negative electrode 102 can be connected to a tail portion 2, the tail ends of both the positive electrode 101 and the separator 103 can be provided with a tail portion 2, the tail ends of both the negative electrode 102 and the separator 103 can be provided with a tail portion 2, or the tail ends of all three electrodes can be provided with a tail portion 2.

[0052] At the same time, such as Figure 1 As shown, the tail section 2 wraps around the main body 1, which can fix the main body 1.

[0053] Specifically, the tail section 2 can be wound around the body 1 along the winding direction and connected to the body 1 by the tail tape 3, so as to realize the connection between the tail section 2 and the body 1, and the fixation of the tail section 2 to the body 1.

[0054] Specifically, the tail portion 2 can be wound less than one revolution, one revolution, or more than one revolution around the body 1. To address the problem in related technologies where the electrodes of the wound cell 100 are prone to breakage under varying internal stress, the tail portion 2 is provided with at least one fold-back portion 201. The fold-back portion 201 is formed by folding the tail portion 2 back along the winding direction, and is adapted to be straightened along the winding direction when the volume of the body 1 increases. Specifically, the fold-back portion 201 can be formed by a partial fold of the tail portion 2 back once or repeatedly folding it back in the winding direction, such as... Figure 1 The folded portion 201 is formed by folding back and forth twice in the winding direction of a portion of the tail portion 2.

[0055] By providing a foldback portion 201 at the end portion 2, the foldback portion 201 can be straightened along the winding direction under the action of the internal stress generated during the electrochemical cycle of the wound cell 100, thereby reducing the internal stress of the wound cell 100, reducing the probability of electrode breakage, and thus making the wound cell 100 less prone to electrode breakage.

[0056] In some embodiments, the wound cell 100 further includes a finishing tape 3, and the tail end of the finishing portion 2 is connected to the outermost ring of the body 1 through the finishing tape 3.

[0057] The wound battery cell 100 of this utility model embodiment can fix the tail end of the tail portion 2 to the outermost ring of the body 1 by setting the tail adhesive paper 3, so that the body 1 and the tail portion 2 of the wound battery cell 100 can be fixed together to form a stable wound battery cell 100 structure.

[0058] In some embodiments, in the width direction of the wound cell 100, the fold-back portion 201 is misaligned with the positive electrode tab 1011 and the negative electrode tab 1021, that is, the projection of the fold-back portion 201 in the thickness direction of the wound cell 100 does not overlap with the projection of the positive electrode tab 1011 or the negative electrode tab 1021 in the thickness direction of the wound cell 100.

[0059] Furthermore, in the width direction of the wound cell 100,

[0060] At least one of the said folded portions 201 is disposed between the positive electrode tab 1011 and the negative electrode tab 1021; and / or,

[0061] At least one of the said folded portions 201 is opposite to the positive electrode tab 1011 or the negative electrode tab 1021; and / or,

[0062] At least one of the said folded portions 201 is located between the side of the positive electrode tab 1011 opposite to the negative electrode tab 1021 and the arcuate region of the body 1; and / or,

[0063] At least one of the folded portions 201 is located between the side of the negative electrode tab 1021 facing away from the positive electrode tab 1011 and the arcuate area of ​​the body 1.

[0064] It is understandable that in the wound cell 100, due to the setting of the positive and negative tabs and the protective adhesive paper near the positive and negative tabs (such as the adhesive paper covering the tabs, the adhesive paper covering the electrode sheet on the back side of the tabs, and the adhesive paper covering the electrode sheet on the opposite side of the tabs), the thickness of different areas of the battery is different. The thickness difference will cause local stress concentration and structural failure in the wound cell 100, which will lead to a deterioration in the cycle performance of the battery, and may also bring risks such as damage to the separator 103, thermal runaway, and internal short circuit.

[0065] It is understandable that the thickness varies in different areas of the battery. In other words, the main body has a thickness reduction area, and the thickness of the thickness reduction area is less than the preset thickness of the main body. The preset thickness of the main body can be understood as the designed thickness of the main body, or it can be understood as the other areas of the main body excluding the thickness reduction area.

[0066] Therefore, the aforementioned fold-back portion 201 can be provided in the thickness reduction area (such as between the positive and negative tabs) to compensate for the thickness difference, so that the thickness of each area of ​​the wound cell 100 is consistent, greatly improving the flatness of the wound cell 100.

[0067] Furthermore, in the width direction of the wound cell 100, a fold-back portion 201 is provided between the positive electrode tab 1011 and the negative electrode tab 1021.

[0068] It is understandable that the wound battery cell 100 has a positive tab 1011 and a negative tab 1021. Due to the tabs and protective adhesive paper, they are often quite thick. At the same time, a thinner area is formed between the two thicker areas. Therefore, in the width direction of the wound battery cell 100, the fold-back portion 201 is located between the positive tab 1011 and the negative tab 1021. The fold-back portion 201 can compensate for the thickness difference between the positive tab 1011 and the negative tab 1021, so that the thickness of each area of ​​the wound battery cell 100 is consistent, which greatly improves the flatness of the wound battery cell 100.

[0069] In some embodiments, the number of fold-back portions 201 is 1-6, for example, the number of fold-back portions 201 is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6.

[0070] Preferably, the number of folded portions 201 is 1 (e.g., Figure 1 (as shown) or 2 (as shown) Figure 4 (As shown).

[0071] In some embodiments, the fold-back portion 201 includes at least two or more even-numbered fold-back angles 2011.

[0072] By setting the fold angle 2011 of the fold-back portion 201 to two or more even numbers, that is, by folding the fold-back portion 201 back two or more times, the extension directions of the beginning and end of the fold-back portion 201 are the same, which makes it easier for the fold-back portion 201 to be straightened along the winding direction under the action of the internal stress generated during the electrochemical cycle of the winding cell 100.

[0073] Furthermore, the number of fold angles 2011 of the folded portion 201 is an even number between 2 and 10. For example, the number of fold angles 2011 of the folded portion 201 is 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10.

[0074] Preferably, the number of fold angles 2011 of the folded portion 201 is 2 (e.g., Figure 1-2 (as shown) or 4 (as shown) Figure 3 (As shown).

[0075] In some embodiments, the fold-back length of the fold-back portion 201 in the length direction of the tail portion 2 is 0.5-50 mm.

[0076] Preferably, the fold-back length of the fold-back portion 201 in the length direction of the tail portion 2 is 0.5-5mm.

[0077] In some embodiments, the termination portion 2 connected to the tail end of the positive electrode 101 is a positive electrode termination portion 2, which is a foil integrally formed with the current collector of the positive electrode 101; and / or,

[0078] The tail portion 2 connected to the tail end of the negative electrode 102 is the negative electrode tail portion 2, which is a foil integrally formed with the current collector of the negative electrode 102; and / or,

[0079] The tail section 2 connected to the tail end of the diaphragm 103 is the diaphragm tail section 2, and the diaphragm tail section 2 is integrally formed with the diaphragm 103.

[0080] As mentioned above, the wound battery cell 100 of this utility model embodiment may have a tail end 2 connected to the tail end of the positive electrode 101, a tail end 2 connected to the tail end of the separator 103, a tail end 2 connected to the tail end of the negative electrode 102, a tail end 2 connected to the tail ends of both the positive electrode 101 and the negative electrode 102, a tail end 2 provided at the tail ends of both the positive electrode 101 and the separator 103, a tail end 2 provided at the tail ends of both the negative electrode 102 and the separator 103, or a tail end 2 provided at the tail ends of the positive electrode 101, the negative electrode 102 and the separator 103.

[0081] For example, the tail portion 2 connected to the tail end of the positive electrode 101 is the positive electrode tail portion 2, which is a foil material integrally disposed with the current collector of the positive electrode 101.

[0082] For example, the tail portion 2 connected to the tail end of the negative electrode 102 is the negative electrode tail portion 2, which is a foil material integrally disposed with the current collector of the negative electrode 102.

[0083] For example, the tail end 2 connected to the tail end of the diaphragm 103 is the diaphragm tail end 2, and the diaphragm tail end 2 is integrally formed with the diaphragm 103.

[0084] For example, the tail end 2 connected to the tail end of the positive electrode 101 is the positive electrode tail end 2, which is a foil material integrally formed with the current collector of the positive electrode 101; the tail end 2 connected to the tail end of the negative electrode 102 is the negative electrode tail end 2, which is a foil material integrally formed with the current collector of the negative electrode 102.

[0085] For example, the tail end 2 connected to the tail end of the positive electrode 101 is the positive electrode tail end 2, which is a foil material integrally formed with the current collector of the positive electrode 101. The tail end 2 connected to the tail end of the separator 103 is the separator tail end 2, which is integrally formed with the separator 103.

[0086] For example, the tail end 2 connected to the tail end of the negative electrode 102 is the negative electrode tail end 2, which is a foil material integrally formed with the current collector of the negative electrode 102. The tail end 2 connected to the tail end of the diaphragm 103 is the diaphragm tail end 2, which is integrally formed with the diaphragm 103.

[0087] For example, the tail portion 2 connected to the tail end of the positive electrode 101 is the positive electrode tail portion 2, which is a foil material integrally formed with the current collector of the positive electrode 101; the tail portion 2 connected to the tail end of the negative electrode 102 is the negative electrode tail portion 2, which is a foil material integrally formed with the current collector of the negative electrode 102; and the tail portion 2 connected to the tail end of the separator 103 is the separator tail portion 2, which is integrally formed with the separator 103.
