Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of lithium battery technology, specifically relating to a wound core and steel-cased button battery. Background Technology

[0002] A lithium-ion battery core, also known as a "bare cell (Jelly-Roll, JR)," is the core unit of the battery's internal energy storage structure. It is composed of a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator, assembled through a precision winding process. Its function is to form the basic electrochemical reaction space of the battery. It requires strict isolation between the positive and negative electrodes to avoid short circuits, while the negative electrode must completely cover the positive electrode to ensure electrochemical stability.

[0003] However, in traditional wound core structures, electrodes are typically led out by welding tabs to the positive and negative electrode sheets, and then electrically connecting these tabs to the metal casing. While this connection method can meet the basic functional requirements of a battery to some extent, it has also revealed some problems that urgently need to be addressed during actual production. For example, the process of welding the tabs is quite complex, requiring precise operation and strict quality control. This not only increases production costs but may also affect the overall performance of the battery due to inconsistent welding quality. Furthermore, the cumbersome nature of this connection method also restricts the improvement of production efficiency to some extent, thus limiting the large-scale production and application of batteries. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a winding core and a steel-cased button battery, which aims to solve the problem that the traditional winding core structure requires welding tabs to both the positive and negative electrodes and welding to connect the casing, resulting in a complicated manufacturing process.

[0008] The ends of the positive and / or negative electrode plates are provided with current collector foil areas that are not coated with an active layer, forming foil lead-out areas.

[0009] Furthermore, the opening end of the diaphragm is close to the first end face of the winding core, and the foil lead-out area on the negative electrode sheet is close to the second end face of the winding core opposite to the first end face.

[0010] Furthermore, the foil lead-out area is located at the starting end of the winding of the corresponding electrode sheet, and after winding, the foil lead-out area is folded outward.

[0011] Furthermore, the foil lead-out area is located at the winding end of the corresponding electrode sheet, and after winding, the foil lead-out area is folded inward.

[0012] Furthermore, the foil lead-out area is provided with several tabs.

[0013] Furthermore, the extension dimension of the foil lead-out area in the winding direction is greater than or equal to the positive or negative electrode sheet corresponding to the outermost ring of the core.

[0014] Furthermore, an insulating sheet is provided at the end of the winding core.

[0015] The present invention also provides a steel-cased button battery, including a casing and a core as described in this application placed inside the casing, wherein the end face of the core is electrically connected to the casing through tabs or empty foil areas that serve as sheet tabs.

Therefore, the terms used to describe the positional relationship in the figure are only for illustrative purposes and should not be construed as limiting this utility model. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above-mentioned terms can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0032] This utility model discloses a core, including a positive electrode 1, a negative electrode 2 and a separator 3. The separator 3 is folded to form a crease and an open end. The positive electrode 1 is wrapped between the crease and the open end of the separator 3. The negative electrode 2, the separator 3 and the positive electrode 1 are stacked in sequence and wound along the winding center axis to form a cylindrical structure.

[0033] Both the positive electrode 1 and the negative electrode 2 include a current collector and an active layer coated on the surface of the current collector;

[0034] The ends of the positive electrode 1 and / or the negative electrode 2 are provided with current collector foil areas that are not coated with an active layer, forming foil lead-out areas 5.

[0035] This utility model also discloses a steel-cased button battery, including a casing 7 and the aforementioned core 6 placed inside the casing 7. The end face of the core 6 is electrically connected to the casing 7 through a tab 4 or a foil lead-out area 5 that serves as a sheet-like tab.

[0036] One end of the core 6 with the foil lead-out area 5 is fixedly connected to the housing 7 by conductive adhesive or other conductive bonding material, or a circular metal disk is first welded on, and then the circular metal disk is fixedly connected to the housing 7 by conductive bonding material.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment discloses a core, including a positive electrode 1, a negative electrode 2 and a separator 3. The separator 3 is folded in half to cover the positive electrode 1, and the negative electrode 2 and the positive electrode 1 covered by the separator 3 are sequentially stacked and wound to form a cylinder.

[0039] The head of the positive electrode 1 has an empty foil area for welding the tab 4;

[0040] The negative electrode 2 has a wider tail end, used as the starting or ending point for winding. A foil lead-out area 5 is connected to the tail end of the negative electrode 2. If the foil lead-out area 5 is located at the starting end of the winding of the corresponding electrode, it is folded outwards after winding. If the foil lead-out area 5 is located at the ending end of the winding of the corresponding electrode, it is folded inwards after winding. The bent foil lead-out area is electrically connected to the housing 7.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, the opening end of the diaphragm 3 is close to the first end face of the core 6, and the foil lead-out area 5 on the negative electrode 2 is close to the second end face of the core 6 opposite to the first end face. This avoids short circuits caused by the foil lead-out area 5 coming into contact with the positive electrode 1 after folding.

[0042] As a preferred embodiment, the extension dimension of the foil lead-out area 5 in the winding direction is greater than or equal to the positive electrode 1 or negative electrode 2 corresponding to the outermost ring of the core 6.

[0043] As a preferred embodiment, an insulating sheet 8 is attached to the end of the core 6 to prevent the foil lead-out area from contacting the core 6 after folding.

[0044] This embodiment also discloses a steel-cased button battery, including a casing 7 and the aforementioned winding core 6 placed inside the casing 7. The end face of the winding core 6 is electrically connected to the casing 7 through a tab 4 or a foil lead-out area 5.

[0045] One end of the core 6 with the foil lead-out area is fixedly connected to the housing 7 by a conductive adhesive material, or a circular metal disk is first welded on, and then the circular metal disk is fixedly connected to the housing 7 by a conductive adhesive material.

[0046] In this embodiment, the housing 7 consists of an upper housing and a lower housing. The bottom of the lower housing is a flat surface, which can be directly connected to the foil lead-out area 5 of the negative electrode 2. Alternatively, conductive adhesive or other conductive bonding materials can be injected into the bottom of the lower housing in advance for fixation.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] In this embodiment, the structure of the core 6 is the same as that of the core 6 in Embodiment 1, except that: in this embodiment, the foil lead-out area 5 at the tail of the negative electrode sheet 2 is provided with several electrode tabs, which are formed by cutting. This structural design facilitates folding. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown. The tail of the positive electrode 1 is also connected to a foil lead-out area 5, and the foil lead-out area 5 at the tail of the positive electrode 1 is also provided with several tabs, such as... Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown.

[0049] In this embodiment, the assembly of the winding core 6 and the casing 7 yields a steel-cased button battery. The assembled product is as follows: Figure 9 As shown.
