[0049] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model proposes a battery cell 10, including a first electrode 100, a second electrode 200, a first tab 500, and a second tab 700.
[0050] It should be noted that this invention does not limit the polarity of the first electrode 100 and the second electrode 200. In some embodiments, the first electrode 100 is the positive electrode and the second electrode 200 is the negative electrode. In other embodiments, the first electrode 100 is the negative electrode and the second electrode 200 is the positive electrode.
[0051] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the first electrode 100 of this invention includes a first current collector 110 and a first active material layer 120. One end of the first electrode 100 has a first single-sided region 130, and the first active material layer 120 located in the first single-sided region 130 is distributed on one side of the first current collector 110 in the thickness direction. The second electrode 200 of this invention includes a second current collector 210 and a second active material layer 220. One end of the second electrode 200 has a second single-sided region 230, and the second active material layer 220 located in the second single-sided region 230 is distributed on one side of the second current collector 210 in the thickness direction.
[0052] The first electrode 100 and the second electrode 200 are wound together to form a wound structure 300. A first single-sided region 130 forms at least a portion of the outermost ring of the wound structure 300, and the first active material layer 120 located in the first single-sided region 130 is closer to the center of the wound structure 300 than the first current collector 110 located in the first single-sided region 130. A second single-sided region 230 forms at least a portion of the innermost ring of the wound structure 300, and the second active material layer 220 located in the second single-sided region 230 is further away from the center of the wound structure 300 than the second current collector 210 located in the second single-sided region 230.
[0053] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the first electrode 100 and the second electrode 200 of this invention together form a wound structure 300. Both the first electrode 100 and the second electrode 200 have a helical cross-section perpendicular to the axial direction of the wound structure 300, and are stacked on top of each other in a direction away from the interior of the wound structure 300. The first active material layer 120 located in the first single-sided region 130 is closer to the interior of the wound structure 300 than the first current collector 110 located in the first single-sided region 130. Therefore, the first active material layer 120 located in the first single-sided region 130 can react with the second active material layer 220 of the adjacent second electrode 200 to generate electrical energy. The second active material layer 220 located in the second single-sided region 230 is further away from the center of the wound structure 300 than the second current collector 210 located in the second single-sided region 230. Therefore, the second active material layer 220 located in the second single-sided region 230 can react with the first active material layer 120 of the adjacent first electrode 100 to generate electrical energy.
[0054] The separator 400 of this invention is disposed between the first electrode 100 and the second electrode 200 to block the first electrode 100 and the second electrode 200. By disposing of the separator 400 between the first electrode 100 and the second electrode 200, short circuits can be avoided, and the charging and discharging function of the battery cell 10 can be realized. Without departing from the inventive concept of this invention, those skilled in the art can adjust the number of separators 400 according to actual needs. For example, please refer to... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the cell 10 includes two separators 400.
[0055] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the first tab 500 of this invention is connected to the first current collector 110 located in the first single-sided region 130, and is located on the side where the first active material layer 120 is distributed in the thickness direction of the first current collector 110. The second tab 700 of this invention is connected to the second current collector 210 located in the second single-sided region 230, and is located on the side where the second active material layer 220 is distributed in the thickness direction of the second current collector 210.
[0056] With the above solution, since the first active material layer 120 and the first tab 500 located in the first single-sided region 130 are located on the same side of the first current collector 110, and the second active material layer 220 and the second tab 700 located in the second single-sided region 230 are located on the same side of the second current collector 210, the first tab 500 can utilize the space occupied by the first active material layer 120 in the thickness direction of the first current collector 110, and the second tab 700 can utilize the space occupied by the second active material layer 220 in the thickness direction of the second current collector 210, the space occupied by the battery cell 10 can also be reduced.
[0057] Further, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the battery cell 10 also includes a first adhesive tape 600 and a second adhesive tape 800. The first adhesive tape 600 is attached to the side of the first tab 500 away from the first current collector 110 to prevent the first tab 500 from contacting the separator 400. The second adhesive tape 800 is attached to the side of the second tab 700 away from the second current collector 210 to prevent the second tab 700 from contacting the separator.
[0058] Through the above scheme, the first adhesive tape 600 can prevent the burrs of the first tab 500 from penetrating the separator 400, and the second adhesive tape 800 can prevent the burrs of the second tab 700 from penetrating the separator 400, thereby extending the life of the battery cell 10. Compared to existing solutions where adhesive tape is applied to both sides in the thickness direction of the current collector, the above embodiment places the first tab 500 on the first current collector 110 of the first single-sided region 130. Applying the first adhesive tape 600 only on the side of the first tab 500 near the winding structure 300 can prevent the burrs of the first tab 500 from piercing the separator 400. Furthermore, placing the second tab 700 on the second current collector 210 of the second single-sided region 230, applying the second adhesive tape 800 only on the side of the second tab 700 near the winding structure 300 can prevent the burrs of the second tab 700 from piercing the separator 400. This further reduces the amount of adhesive tape, reduces the space occupied by the battery cell 10, and improves the energy density.
[0059] Without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, those skilled in the art can choose the specific shape of the winding structure 300. In some embodiments, the winding structure 300 is cylindrical.
[0060] As a preferred option, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the battery cell 10 has a predetermined width, and the winding structure 300 includes a straight section 310 and a bending section 320 arranged along the width direction of the battery cell 10. The winding structure 300, including the straight section 310 and the bending section 320, can adapt to a square housing, which is beneficial for reducing the thickness of the product.
[0061] Based on the above scheme, in some embodiments, both the first tab 500 and the second tab 700 are located in the flat region 310. The portions of the first electrode 100 and the second electrode 200 located in the flat region 310 remain flat, ensuring that both the first tab 500 and the second tab 700 in the flat region 310 remain flat. This facilitates the connection of the first tab 500 and the second tab 700 to external devices. Specifically, the flatness of the first tab 500 and the second tab 700 allows for better contact with external devices during soldering, thereby ensuring a better soldering effect between the tabs and the external devices.
[0062] Without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, those skilled in the art can adjust the position of the first electrode 500 connected to the first current collector 110 and the position of the second electrode 700 connected to the second current collector 210.
[0063] In some embodiments, the first electrode 100 further includes a first double-sided region 150, which is connected to the first single-sided region 130. A first active material layer 120 located in the first double-sided region 150 is distributed on both sides of the first current collector 110 in the thickness direction. Along the arrangement direction of the first single-sided region 110 and the first double-sided region 150, a first tab 500 is connected to the portion of the first current collector 110 near the first double-sided region 150. Through this scheme, the electrical energy of the first active material layer 120 on the first double-sided region 150 can more easily flow into the first tab 500, which helps to reduce the internal resistance of the battery cell 10.
[0064] In some embodiments, the second electrode 200 further has a second double-sided region 250, which is connected to the second single-sided region 230. A second active material layer 220 located in the second double-sided region 250 is distributed on both sides of the second current collector 210 in the thickness direction. Along the arrangement direction of the second single-sided region 230 and the second double-sided region 250, a second tab 700 is connected to the portion of the second current collector 210 near the second double-sided region 250. Through this scheme, the electrical energy of the second active material layer 220 on the second double-sided region 250 can more easily flow into the second tab 700, which helps to reduce the internal resistance of the battery cell 10.
[0065] As a preferred embodiment, in some embodiments, the first electrode 100 further has a first double-sided region 150, which is connected to the first single-sided region 130. The first active material layer 120 located in the first double-sided region 150 is distributed on both sides of the first current collector 110 in the thickness direction. Along the arrangement direction of the first single-sided region 110 and the first double-sided region 150, the first tab 500 is connected to the portion of the first current collector 110 near the first double-sided region 150. The second electrode 200 further has a second double-sided region 250, which is connected to the second single-sided region 230. The second active material layer 220 located in the second double-sided region 250 is distributed on both sides of the second current collector 210 in the thickness direction. Along the arrangement direction of the second single-sided region 230 and the second double-sided region 250, the second tab 700 is connected to the portion of the second current collector 210 near the second double-sided region 250. Through the above scheme, the electrical energy of the first active material layer 120 on the first double-sided region 150 can flow more easily into the first tab 500, and the electrical energy of the second active material layer 220 on the second double-sided region 250 can flow more easily into the second tab 700, which is beneficial to significantly reduce the internal resistance of the cell 10.
[0066] Further, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the first tab 500 and the second tab 700 are spaced apart in the width direction of the battery cell 10. This design allows workers to distinguish the first tab 500 and the second tab 700 based on their positions in the width direction of the battery cell 10, reducing the risk of incorrect soldering when attaching the tabs to external devices. Furthermore, since the first adhesive tape 600 is bonded to one side of the first tab 500 in the thickness direction of the first current collector 110, and the second adhesive tape 800 is bonded to one side of the second tab 700 in the thickness direction of the second current collector 210, the spacing between the first tab 500 and the second tab 700 in the width direction of the battery cell 10 allows the bonding positions of the first adhesive tape 600 and the second adhesive tape 800 to be staggered in the width direction of the battery cell 10, thereby reducing the maximum thickness of the battery cell 10 and increasing its flatness.
[0067] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the battery cell 10 has a predetermined width, and the winding structure 300 includes a first bending region 330, a straight region 310, and a second bending region 340 arranged along the width direction of the battery cell 10. The first electrode 100 includes a plurality of first straight portions 140 located in the straight region 310. In the width direction of the battery cell 10, the first straight portion 140 located at the innermost side of the winding structure 300 has a first end and a second end 142. The first end connects to a portion of the first electrode 100 located in the second bending region 340, and the second end 142 is spaced from the first bending region 330, and the distance between the second end 142 and the first bending region 330 is less than the distance between the second end 142 and the second bending region 340.
[0068] It should be understood that the "first straight portion 140 located at the innermost side of the winding structure 300" referred to in this utility model refers to the one of the plurality of first straight portions 140 of the first electrode 100 that is closest to the axis of the winding structure 300. By having a gap between the second end 142 of the first straight portion 140 and the first bending area 330 in the width direction of the cell 10, it is beneficial to reduce the possibility of the second end 142 folding relative to other parts of the first straight portion 140 located at the innermost side of the winding structure 300 during the winding process of the first electrode 100, thereby reducing the space occupied by the second end 142 of the first straight portion 140 in the thickness direction of the cell 10 and improving the energy density of the cell 10.
[0069] Further, please refer to Figure 4 As shown, where Figure 4 The positional relationship of the winding structure 300 of the battery cell 10 is shown. In some embodiments, the second electrode 200 includes a plurality of second straight portions 240 located in the straight region 310; in the width direction of the battery cell 10, the innermost second straight portion 240 located in the winding structure 300 has a third end (not shown) and a fourth end 242. The third end is connected to a portion of the first electrode 100 located in the first bending region 330, and the fourth end 242 is spaced from the second end 142 in the width direction of the battery cell 10.
[0070] Please refer to Figure 4 As shown, the size of the gap between the fourth end 242 and the first bending area 330 is D1, and the size of the gap between the second end 142 and the first bending area 330 is D2. Since the fourth end 242 and the second end 142 are spaced apart in the width direction of the cell 10, then D2 > D1 or D1 > D2.
[0071] When D2 > D1, the second straight portion 240 located on the innermost side of the winding structure 300 can fill the gap between the first straight portion 140 located on the innermost side of the winding structure 300 and the first bending area 330, thereby reducing the thickness difference of different parts of the cell 10 in the width direction, increasing the overall flatness of the cell 10, and making the first electrode 100 and the second electrode 200 contact more tightly after the cell 10 is subsequently hot-pressed, which is conducive to the insertion and extraction of lithium ions, reduces lithium plating, and thus extends the service life of the cell 10.
[0072] When D1 > D2, the second straight portion 240 located on the innermost side of the winding structure 300 can completely fill the gap between the first straight portion 140 located on the innermost side of the winding structure 300 and the first bending area 330, thereby reducing the thickness difference of different parts of the cell 10 in the width direction, increasing the overall flatness of the cell 10, and making the first electrode 100 and the second electrode 200 more closely contacted after the cell 10 is subsequently hot-pressed, which is conducive to the insertion and extraction of lithium ions, reduces lithium plating, and thus extends the service life of the cell 10.
[0073] Further, please refer to Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the second electrode 200 includes a plurality of second straight portions 240 located in the straight region 310; in the width direction of the cell 10, the second straight portion 240 located on the innermost side of the winding structure 300 has a third end and a fourth end 242, the third end being connected to a portion of the first electrode 100 located in the first bending region 330; the second electrode 200 also has a second double-sided region 250, the second double-sided region 250 having a fifth end 251 in the straight region 310, the fifth end 251 being connected to the second single-sided region 230, and the second active material layer 220 located in the second double-sided region 250 being distributed on both sides in the thickness direction of the second current collector 210. In the width direction of the cell 10, the distance D1 between the fourth end 242 and the first bending region 330, the distance D2 between the second end 142 and the first bending region 330, and the distance D3 between the second end 142 and the fifth end 251 are equal.
[0074] Through the above scheme, the second straight portion 240 located on the innermost side of the winding structure 300 can precisely fill the gap between the first straight portion 140 located on the innermost side of the winding structure 300 and the first bending area 330, and can make the end of the second double-sided area 250 exactly flush with the first bending area 330, avoiding the gap between the fifth end 251 of the second double-sided area 250 and the first bending area 330, which is conducive to further enhancing the flatness of the cell 10. After the cell 10 is subsequently hot-pressed and formed, the first electrode 100 and the second electrode 200 can be in closer contact, which is conducive to the insertion and extraction of lithium ions, reducing lithium plating, and thus extending the service life of the cell 10.
[0075] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the distance D1 between the fourth end 242 and the first bending region 330 in the width direction of the cell 10 is at least 1 mm. Through the above scheme, after the first electrode 100 and the second electrode 200 form the winding structure 300, the second straight portion 240 located on the innermost side of the winding structure 300 can remain more flat, which is beneficial to increasing the overall flatness of the cell 10.
[0076] Without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, those skilled in the art can adjust the winding method of the battery cell 10. In some embodiments, the outermost end of the first current collector 110 is welded to another portion of the first current collector 110.

The above solution can take the battery cell 10 as a whole and keep the battery cell 10 in a fixed shape, which is convenient for subsequent assembly.
[0077] This utility model also proposes a battery, which includes a cell 10 as described in any of the above embodiments.

It should be noted that since this embodiment adopts all the technical features of the cell 10 of the above embodiments, the battery of this embodiment possesses all the beneficial effects brought by the cell 10 of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.
