Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of battery technology, specifically to an aluminum-plastic film and a battery. Background Technology

[0002] In battery manufacturing technology, bare cells have a greater local thickness than other areas due to the material stacking at the electrode welding points. To meet drop resistance requirements, hot melt adhesive is applied to the surface of the bare cells to achieve a fixed connection with the aluminum-plastic film. However, traditional adhesive application processes, after hot pressing, can further increase the thickness of the battery in certain areas, resulting in poor overall thickness uniformity. When multiple batteries are assembled, this local thickness difference creates assembly gaps between adjacent batteries, leading to reduced internal space utilization of the battery module and a loss in the volumetric energy density of the battery module. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application aims to address at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this application proposes an aluminum-plastic film that can improve the thickness uniformity of the battery, thereby increasing the volumetric energy density of the battery module.

[0004] This application also proposes a battery having the aforementioned aluminum-plastic film.

[0005] The aluminum-plastic film according to the embodiments of this application includes a base layer, a first heat-sealing layer, and a second heat-sealing layer;

[0006] Along the thickness direction of the aluminum-plastic film, a first heat-sealing layer is coated on one side of the base layer. The first heat-sealing layer is provided with a receiving groove, and the opening of the receiving groove faces the side away from the base layer.

[0007] The second heat-sealing layer is located inside the receiving groove, and along the thickness direction of the aluminum-plastic film, the second heat-sealing layer is connected to the bottom wall of the receiving groove;

[0008] The second heat-sealing layer has a lower melting point than the first heat-sealing layer, and the second heat-sealing layer is used to bond the battery cell body.

[0009] According to the embodiments of this application, the aluminum-plastic film has at least the following beneficial effects: the second heat-sealing layer is disposed within the receiving groove of the first heat-sealing layer, its surface does not extend beyond the side of the first heat-sealing layer away from the base layer, and its melting point is lower than that of the first heat-sealing layer. Therefore, in the hot-pressing process, the second heat-sealing layer can melt independently and bond with the battery cell body, while the first heat-sealing layer remains solid to maintain structural stability. The battery cell body is directly fixed by the second heat-sealing layer, effectively preventing the battery cell from shifting relative to the aluminum-plastic film when the battery is dropped, thus ensuring drop resistance performance. At the same time, the second heat-sealing layer can correspond to the thicker areas of the battery cell body, eliminating the need for adhesive to be applied to the surface of the battery cell body. This not only frees up the space occupied by adhesive to improve volumetric energy density, but also balances the thicker areas of the battery cell body through direct bonding, making the overall thickness distribution of the battery more uniform, thereby improving the space utilization and volumetric energy density of the battery module.

[0010] According to some embodiments of this application, along the thickness direction of the aluminum-plastic film, the thickness of the second heat-sealing layer is less than the depth of the receiving groove.

[0011] According to some embodiments of this application, from the outer periphery of the second heat-sealing layer near the first heat-sealing layer to the center of the second heat-sealing layer, the second heat-sealing layer is arranged in an arc-shaped concave shape, the thickness of the battery cell body is T, and the curvature of the arc is [missing information]. to .

[0012] According to some embodiments of this application, the melting point of the first heat-sealing layer is 130°C to 150°C, the melting point of the second heat-sealing layer is 40°C to 60°C, and the difference between the melting points of the first heat-sealing layer and the second heat-sealing layer is 70°C to 110°C.

[0013] According to some embodiments of this application, the thickness of the second heat-sealing layer is 5 μm to 20 μm, the thickness ratio of the second heat-sealing layer to the first heat-sealing layer is 11% to 50%, and the thickness of the second heat-sealing layer is 3.8% to 20% of the thickness of the aluminum-plastic film.

[0014] The battery according to the embodiments of this application includes a cell body and an aluminum-plastic film in any of the above embodiments, wherein the aluminum-plastic film covers the cell body and the second heat-sealing layer is bonded to the cell body.

[0015] The battery according to the embodiments of this application has at least the following beneficial effects: at least a portion of the cell body is directly bonded to the second heat-sealing layer, eliminating the need to provide hot melt adhesive between the cell body and the aluminum-plastic film. On the one hand, this is beneficial to reduce the volume of the battery and improve the volumetric energy density of the battery. On the other hand, the coverage area of ​​the second heat-sealing layer can be a thicker area of ​​the cell body. Direct bonding of the thicker area of ​​the cell body to the aluminum-plastic film is beneficial to balance the thickness of the battery and make the surface thickness of the battery more uniform.

[0016] According to some embodiments of this application, the cell body includes a flat structure, and along the thickness direction of the battery, a second heat-sealing layer covers at least one side of the flat structure.

[0017] According to some embodiments of this application, at least one side of the flat structure is located in the receiving groove along the thickness direction of the battery.

[0018] According to some embodiments of this application, the aluminum-plastic film includes a covering portion and a sealing portion. The outer periphery of the covering portion is connected to the sealing portion. The covering portion is provided with a receiving cavity, and the battery cell body is located in the receiving cavity. The covering portion includes a second heat-sealing layer.

[0019] According to some embodiments of this application, the sum of the areas of the second heat-sealing layer distribution area is a, the sum of the outer perimeters of the second heat-sealing layer distribution area is c, the weight of the battery cell body is b, and b / c≥4.2mm / g;

[0020] Specifically, when the capacity of the main cell is 4Ah, a / c ≥ 24.2mm². 2 / g;

[0021] When the capacity of the main cell is 5Ah to 6Ah, a / c ≥ 26.3mm 2 / g;

[0022] When the capacity of the main cell is greater than 6Ah, a / c ≥ 28.3mm 2 / g.

[0023] Additional aspects and advantages of this application will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of this application. Attached Figure Description

[0037] The embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0038] refer to Figures 1 to 4According to an embodiment of this application, the aluminum-plastic film includes a base layer 100, a first heat-sealing layer 210, and a second heat-sealing layer 220. Along the thickness direction of the aluminum-plastic film, the first heat-sealing layer 210 is coated on one side of the base layer 100. The first heat-sealing layer 210 has a receiving groove 211, with the opening of the receiving groove 211 facing away from the base layer 100. The second heat-sealing layer 220 is located within the receiving groove 211. Along the thickness direction of the aluminum-plastic film, the second heat-sealing layer 220 is connected to the bottom wall of the receiving groove 211. The melting point of the second heat-sealing layer 220 is lower than that of the first heat-sealing layer 210. The second heat-sealing layer 220 is used to bond the battery cell body 310. Based on this, in the hot-pressing process, by controlling the hot-pressing temperature, the second heat-sealing layer 220 can be melted, thereby connecting to the battery cell body 310. After the second heat-sealing layer 220 cools, the battery cell body 310 and the aluminum-plastic film can be fixed, thereby ensuring the battery's drop resistance.

[0039] For example, the second heat-sealing layer 220 can correspond to the thicker parts of the cell body 310. Since the second heat-sealing layer 220 is directly connected to and fixed to the cell body 310 during the hot-pressing process, there is no need to apply adhesive to the thicker parts of the cell body 310. On the one hand, this avoids the extra thickness caused by adhesive on the cell body 310, and also makes the thickness of each part more uniform after the battery is formed. On the other hand, eliminating the adhesive application step can simplify the battery production process and reduce the use of hot melt adhesive materials. As a result, during battery module assembly, space can be used more rationally, reducing space waste caused by uneven thickness and improving the volumetric energy density of the battery module.

[0040] It should be noted that the anode sheet, separator, and cathode sheet are wound in an alternating stacked manner to form the cell body 310. Both the anode and cathode sheets have tabs welded on them. The welding positions of the tabs and electrode sheets result in thickness overlap, increasing the thickness of the cell body 310 at the tab welding points by 10μm to 20μm compared to other areas. If hot melt adhesive is applied to the cell body 310 for fixation, the thickness of the hot melt adhesive will further exacerbate the thickness bulge in this area, leading to uneven overall battery thickness. In this application, the position of the second heat-sealing layer 220 corresponds to the thicker area at the tab welding points of the cell body 310. During the hot-pressing process, the second heat-sealing layer 220, with its lower melting point than the first heat-sealing layer 210, can melt while the first heat-sealing layer 210 is in a solid state and directly adhere to the surface of the thicker area of ​​the cell body 310, eliminating the need for hot melt adhesive and avoiding the thickness overlap problem caused by adhesive application. This improves the thickness consistency of various parts after battery molding.

[0041] refer to Figures 1 to 4In other embodiments, the base layer 100 includes a nylon layer 110 and an aluminum layer 120 stacked along the thickness direction of the aluminum-plastic film. The first heat-sealing layer 210 is connected to the aluminum layer 120. The nylon layer 110 is located on the side of the aluminum layer 120 away from the first heat-sealing layer 210. The nylon layer 110 has good wear resistance and puncture resistance, providing basic protection for the battery cell body 310. The aluminum layer 120 is mainly used to isolate water vapor, light and oxygen. The first heat-sealing layer 210 can be made of polypropylene. The second heat-sealing layer 220 can be made of a substance with a melting point lower than that of the first heat-sealing layer 210. Specifically, it can be modified polypropylene (blended with ultra-low melting point polymers, such as ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer) or coated on its surface with an adhesive with a melting point lower than that of the first heat-sealing layer 210 (EVA, polyurethane PU, pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) etc.). It is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the receiving groove 211 along the thickness direction.

[0042] The second heat-sealing layer 220 is located in the receiving groove 211 to prevent the second heat-sealing layer 220 from protruding outward relative to the first heat-sealing layer 210 toward the side away from the base layer 100. Thus, when the second heat-sealing layer 220 melts and bonds to the thicker area of ​​the cell body 310 in the hot pressing process, it can offset the local thickness difference of the cell body 310 without the need for adhesive, making the overall thickness distribution of the battery more uniform.

[0043] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first heat-sealing layer 210 is provided with a receiving groove 211, which includes a bottom wall and a side wall. The bottom wall can be parallel to the base layer 100. The second heat-sealing layer 220 is connected to the bottom wall of the receiving groove 211, that is, the second heat-sealing layer 220 is connected to the first heat-sealing layer 210. The first heat-sealing layer 210 is used to isolate the electrolyte and the contact aluminum layer 120 of the battery cell body 310.

[0044] refer to Figures 1 to 4 In other embodiments, the receiving groove 211 is a through groove that penetrates the first heat-sealing layer 210 along the thickness direction of the aluminum-plastic film. The first heat-sealing layer 210 is connected to the base layer 100, and the base layer 100 blocks one side of the receiving groove 211, so that the opening of the receiving groove 211 faces away from the base layer 100. In this case, the base layer 100 serves as the bottom wall of the receiving groove 211, and the second heat-sealing layer 220 is located inside the receiving groove 211 and connected to the base layer 100. Thus, while keeping the thickness of the first heat-sealing layer 210 unchanged, compared to a non-through groove structure, the through groove design allows the second heat-sealing layer 220 to extend upward from the surface of the base layer 100 to the opening position, forming a thicker second heat-sealing layer 220. The connection between the cell body 310 and the aluminum-plastic film is more robust, effectively improving the structural stability of the battery during long-term use.

[0045] It should be noted that the second heat-sealing layer 220 is connected to the base layer 100, which allows heat to be transferred directly to the second heat-sealing layer 220 through the base layer 100 during the hot pressing process, so as to melt the second heat-sealing layer 220 more quickly and improve the production efficiency of the battery.

[0046] refer to Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, along the thickness direction of the aluminum-plastic film, the thickness of the second heat-sealing layer 220 is less than the depth of the receiving groove 211, so that the receiving groove 211 forms a space that can accommodate part of the battery cell body 310. For example, when the thicker part of the battery cell body 310 is bonded to the aluminum-plastic film, the thicker part can be embedded in the reserved space of the receiving groove 211 and bonded to the second heat-sealing layer 220 in the receiving groove 211. Thus, the space of the receiving groove 211 can accommodate part of the battery cell body 310. The raised portion reduces the overall thickness of the battery, and the second heat-sealing layer 220 secures the cell to the aluminum-plastic film. When the battery is subjected to mechanical stress such as drops, the cell body 310, being embedded in the receiving groove 211 and bonded by the second heat-sealing layer 220, can more effectively limit its displacement relative to the aluminum-plastic film. This prevents the burrs of the cell body 310 from puncturing the first heat-sealing layer 210 due to movement, and also reduces the risk of electrode deformation or weld breakage caused by the movement and pulling of the cell body 310.

[0047] refer to Figures 1 to 4 In other embodiments, the first heat-sealing layer 210 defines the sidewall of the receiving groove 211, and the outer periphery of the second heat-sealing layer 220 is connected to the sidewall of the receiving groove 211, which can more fully fill the entire area of ​​the receiving groove 211. Thus, in the hot pressing process, the more sufficient amount of material of the second heat-sealing layer 220 can form a thicker adhesive layer, improve the tightness of the fit with the surface of the battery cell body 310, and also help to form a larger contact area. When the battery is subjected to mechanical impacts such as drops, the stress is dispersed by the larger contact area, reducing the risk of local detachment or breakage.

[0048] refer to Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, from the outer periphery of the second heat-sealing layer 220 near the first heat-sealing layer 210 to the center of the second heat-sealing layer 220, the second heat-sealing layer 220 is arranged in an arc-shaped concave shape. The thickness of the battery cell body 310 is T, and the curvature of the arc is... to The surface of the cell body 310 has a local arc-shaped protrusion. Therefore, setting the second heat-sealing layer as an arc-shaped concave structure facilitates the adhesion between the second heat-sealing layer 220 and the cell body 310, making the adhesion between the two more solid. Moreover, the arc-shaped concave structure can accommodate the local protrusion of the cell body 310, which is beneficial to further improve the flatness of the battery.

[0049] Among them, the second heat-sealing layer 220 is recessed on the side facing the base layer 100. T is a mathematical constant, and its value varies depending on the size of the battery cell body 310 covered by aluminum-plastic film.

[0050] refer to Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, the melting point of the first heat-sealing layer 210 is 130°C to 150°C, and the melting point of the second heat-sealing layer 220 is 40°C to 60°C. The difference between the melting points of the first heat-sealing layer 210 and the second heat-sealing layer 220 is 70°C to 110°C, which limits the lower limit of the melting point of the second heat-sealing layer 220. This is to ensure that the second heat-sealing layer 220 is in a solid state at room temperature, so as to maintain a stable bond to the cell body 310 during daily use of the battery and ensure the mechanical properties of the battery, such as resistance to drops. Limiting the upper limit of the melting point of the second heat-sealing layer 220 allows it to melt at a lower temperature, reducing energy consumption and production costs, while preventing the first heat-sealing layer 210 from melting due to excessively high temperatures. This maintains the effective isolation of the first heat-sealing layer 210 from the cell body 310 and the base layer 100. The first heat-sealing layer 210 remains solid, which not only acts as a physical barrier but also resists burrs that may exist on the cell body 310 due to its own structural strength, preventing the base layer 100 from being punctured or damaged.

[0051] Specifically, the melting point of the second heat-sealing layer 220 can be 40℃, 45℃, 50℃, 55℃ or 60℃, or it can be a range of any two temperature values ​​among 40℃, 45℃, 50℃, 55℃ or 60℃ as endpoints. Depending on the operating temperature of the battery, adhesives with different melting points can be flexibly used. Similarly, the melting point of the first heat-sealing layer 210 can be 130℃, 135℃, 140℃, 145℃ or 150℃, or it can be a range of any two temperature values ​​among 130℃, 135℃, 140℃, 145℃ and 150℃ as endpoints.

[0052] refer to Figures 1 to 4In some embodiments, the thickness of the second heat-sealing layer 220 is 5 μm to 20 μm, the thickness ratio of the second heat-sealing layer 220 to the first heat-sealing layer 210 is 11% to 50%, and the thickness of the second heat-sealing layer 220 is 3.8% to 20% of the thickness of the aluminum-plastic film. For example, the thickness of the first heat-sealing layer 210 is greater than the thickness of the second heat-sealing layer 220, and the thickness of the first heat-sealing layer 210 is 30 μm to 45 μm. This limits the lower limit of the thickness of the second heat-sealing layer 220 to ensure that the second heat-sealing layer 220 has sufficient material to reliably bond with the cell body 310 without the need for hot melt adhesive, preventing the cell body 310 from moving relative to the aluminum-plastic film due to insufficient bonding strength after the battery is dropped. Limiting the upper limit of the thickness of the second heat-sealing layer 220, on the one hand, allows for thinner second heat-sealing layers... 220 can melt more quickly and synchronously during hot pressing, making the material flow more smoothly and the surface of the adhesive layer formed after cooling is smoother. At the same time, it reduces the problem of prolonged cooling time caused by excessive thickness, improving production efficiency. On the other hand, it ensures that after the second heat-sealing layer 220 fills the receiving groove 211, the bottom of the second heat-sealing layer 220 is still supported by the first heat-sealing layer 210, effectively isolating the battery cell body 310 or electrolyte from direct contact with the base layer 100 (such as the aluminum layer 120), avoiding the risk of corrosion or short circuit.

[0053] Specifically, the thickness of the second heat-sealing layer 220 can be 5μm, 10μm, 15μm, or 20μm, or it can be a range of any two thickness values ​​among 5μm, 10μm, 15μm, or 20μm as endpoints. The thickness of the second heat-sealing layer 220 can be adjusted according to the thickness of the aluminum-plastic film. The thickness ratio of the second heat-sealing layer 220 to the first heat-sealing layer 210 can be 11%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, or 50%, and the thickness of the second heat-sealing layer 220 can be 3.8%, 5%, 10%, 15%, or 20% of the thickness of the aluminum-plastic film. The thickness of the aluminum-plastic film can be from 70μm to 130μm, the thickness of the first heat-sealing layer 210 can be from 30μm to 40μm, and the thickness of the second heat-sealing layer 220 can be adjusted according to the thickness of the aluminum-plastic film and the thickness of the first heat-sealing layer 210, so as to control the thickness of the second heat-sealing layer 220 within the above ratio, which is convenient to balance the structural strength of the aluminum-plastic film and the encapsulation requirements of the battery.

[0054] refer to Figures 1 to 4The battery according to the embodiments of this application includes a cell body 310 and an aluminum-plastic film as described in any of the above embodiments. The aluminum-plastic film covers the cell body 310, and a second heat-sealing layer 220 is bonded to the cell body 310. In the bonding area, the second heat-sealing layer 220 achieves a firm connection between the cell body 310 and the aluminum-plastic film by melting and then cooling and solidifying. This ensures the structural stability of the battery under drop conditions and eliminates the need for hot melt adhesive used for fixing in traditional processes. It avoids the need for additional material thickness accumulation, allowing the cell body 310 to occupy a larger proportion of the space inside the battery, thereby improving the volumetric energy density of the battery.

[0055] Specifically, along the thickness direction of the battery, the projection of the second heat-sealing layer 220 covers the tab welding area of ​​the cell body 310. Within the tab welding area, the thickness is typically greater than in other areas due to the thickness overlap caused by the tab welding. The second heat-sealing layer 220, by filling the receiving groove 211 and bonding to the surface of the cell body 310, not only offsets the thickness protrusion at the tab welding point, making the overall battery thickness distribution more uniform, but also frees up more internal volume for the cell body 310 by eliminating the need for hot melt adhesive. It also reduces the structural gap between adjacent cells caused by localized thickness unevenness, which is beneficial for improving the stacking tightness of the battery module.

[0056] refer to Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, the cell body 310 includes a flat structure 311. Along the thickness direction of the battery, the second heat-sealing layer 220 covers at least one side of the flat structure 311 to ensure the fixation of the cell body 310. Specifically, the anode sheet, separator, and cathode sheet are wound to form the cell body 310. Each layer of material includes flat sections and corner sections. The flat sections together constitute the flat structure 311 of the cell body 310, and the corner sections form corner structures 312 located on both sides. Along the width direction of the battery, the flat structure 311 is connected to the two corner structures 312. Along the thickness direction of the battery, the two opposite sides of the flat structure 311 are the main stress surfaces. The second heat-sealing layer 220 covers at least one side and is fixed by melting and bonding to the surface of the flat structure 311.

[0057] It should be noted that when the aluminum-plastic film covers the main body of the battery cell 310, its thickness direction needs to be distinguished in conjunction with the battery shape: when not covered, the aluminum-plastic film has a flat structure and the thickness direction is consistent; after covering, the area on both sides of the flat structure 311 of the battery cell maintains a planar shape and the thickness direction is consistent with the thickness direction of the battery, while the area covering the corner structure 312 forms a curved surface and the thickness direction changes accordingly.

[0058] Based on this, firstly, the first heat-sealing layer 210 can be provided with a single receiving groove 211 spanning both sides of the flat structure 311, so that the second heat-sealing layer 220 covers its opposite sides. Secondly, the first heat-sealing layer 210 is provided with two spaced receiving grooves 211, and the second heat-sealing layer 220 in each receiving groove 211 corresponds to both sides of the flat structure 311. By fixing the flat structure 311 on both sides, the connection stability between the battery cell body 310 and the aluminum-plastic film can be enhanced.

[0059] refer to Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, at least one side of the flat structure 311 is located in the receiving groove 211 along the thickness direction of the battery. For example, when the first heat-sealing layer 210 has two receiving grooves 211, the height of the second heat-sealing layer 220 inside the groove is lower than the groove opening, so that the receiving groove 211 retains space to accommodate part of the flat structure 311. When the aluminum-plastic film covers the battery cell body 310, the upper and lower sides of the flat structure 311 are respectively embedded in the upper and lower receiving grooves 211, and the surface of the flat structure 311 is directly bonded to the second heat-sealing layer 220 in the corresponding receiving groove 211. By incorporating the two sides of the flat structure 311 into the space of the receiving groove 211, and using the hot melt bonding characteristics of the second heat-sealing layer 220 to replace the traditional hot melt adhesive, the fixed connection between the battery cell body 310 and the aluminum-plastic film is achieved simultaneously on the upper and lower sides. On the one hand, this is beneficial to improving the volumetric energy density of the battery; on the other hand, by bonding the flat structure 311 on both sides, the drop resistance of the battery is further guaranteed.

[0060] refer to Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, the aluminum-plastic film includes a covering portion 230 and a sealing portion 240. The outer periphery of the covering portion 230 is connected to the sealing portion 240. The covering portion 230 has a receiving cavity, and the battery cell body 310 is located within the receiving cavity. The covering portion 230 includes a second heat-sealing layer 220. Defining the distribution range of the second heat-sealing layer 220 can ensure the stability of the seal at the edge of the aluminum-plastic film. It should be understood that the sealing portion 240 relies on the first heat-sealing layer 210 for adhesion and sealing. The melting point of the first heat-sealing layer 210 is higher than that of the second heat-sealing layer 220, and it can remain solid during the hot pressing process and the high-temperature operating environment of the battery, avoiding sealing failure due to melting. Thus, it not only ensures the fixation of the battery cell body 310 in the receiving cavity, but also avoids the risk of gaps or leakage in the sealing portion 240 due to material melting, which is beneficial to extending the battery's service life.

[0061] Specifically, the second heat-sealing layer 220 is only distributed within the covering portion 230 to avoid the second heat-sealing layer 220 extending to the sealing portion 240 and causing sealing failure. For example, along the thickness direction of the battery, the projection of the second heat-sealing layer 220 on the cell body 310 covers the flat structure 311. The projection of the second heat-sealing layer 220 on the cell body 310 can be flush with the edge of the flat structure 311. The second heat-sealing layer 220 can be bonded to the cell body 310 by heat fusion to achieve the fixation of the cell body 310 and the sealing of the battery. In addition, compared to the edge of the flat structure 311 extending beyond the projection edge of the second heat-sealing layer 220, it is also beneficial to ensure the flatness of the battery corresponding to the flat structure 311 and avoid local protrusions in the battery corresponding to the flat structure 311.

[0062] refer to Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, the sum of the areas of the distribution regions of the second heat-sealing layer 220 is 'a', the sum of the outer perimeters of the distribution regions of the second heat-sealing layer 220 is 'b', and the weight of the cell body 310 is 'c', where b / c ≥ 4.2 mm / g; wherein, when the capacity of the cell body 310 is 4 Ah, a / c ≥ 24.2 mm / g. 2 / g; When the capacity of the main cell 310 is 5Ah to 6Ah, a / c ≥ 26.3mm 2 / g; When the capacity of the main cell 310 is greater than 6Ah, a / c ≥ 28.3mm 2 / g, thus, as the capacity of the battery cell body 310 increases, the ratio of the sum of the areas of the distribution region of the second heat-sealing layer 220 to the weight of the battery cell body 310 increases. By limiting the lower limit of the ratio of the area of ​​the second heat-sealing layer 220 to the weight of the battery cell body 310, it is ensured that the effective bonding area per unit weight of battery cell is sufficient to resist external mechanical stress. Furthermore, limiting the lower limit of the ratio of the outer perimeter of the second heat-sealing layer 220 to the weight of the battery cell body 310 also ensures the bonding strength between the second heat-sealing layer 220 and the battery cell body 310. At least one of these ratio limits ensures a stable connection between the second heat-sealing layer 220 and the battery cell body 310.

[0063] It should be noted that there are physical upper limits to the values ​​of a and b. The maximum theoretical value of a does not exceed the area of ​​the outer surface of the battery cell body 310. The upper limit of b is determined by the geometric shape of the second heat-sealing layer 220. The more curved the outer edge of the second heat-sealing layer 220 is, the larger the value of b is. The value of b is limited by the maximum contour length that the outer surface of the battery cell can achieve.

Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this application. Furthermore, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.
