[0097] In the battery device 100, multiple battery cells 20 can be connected in series, parallel, or in a mixed configuration. A mixed configuration means that multiple battery cells 20 are connected in both series and parallel configurations. Multiple battery cells 20 can be directly connected in series, parallel, or in a mixed configuration, and then the entire assembly of the multiple battery cells 20 is housed within the housing 10. Alternatively, the battery device 100 can also consist of multiple battery cells 20 first connected in series, parallel, or in a mixed configuration to form battery modules, and then these battery modules are connected in series, parallel, or in a mixed configuration to form a whole, which is then housed within the housing 10.

[0099] According to some embodiments of this application, refer to Figures 5-7 Please refer to further details. Figure 8 . Figure 5 This is an exploded view of the structure of a battery cell 20 provided in some embodiments of this application. Figure 6 This is a cross-sectional view of a battery cell 20 provided in some embodiments of this application. Figure 7 for Figure 6 A magnified view of a section at point B. Figure 8 This is one of the structural schematic diagrams of the adapter piece 240 of the battery cell 20 provided in some embodiments of this application. This application provides a battery cell 20, including: a housing 210, an electrode assembly 220, a cover plate assembly 230, and an adapter piece 240, wherein the electrode assembly 220 is disposed inside the housing 210, the cover plate assembly 230 is installed on the housing 210, and the adapter piece 240 connects the tab 221 of the electrode assembly 220 and the terminal post 231 of the cover plate assembly 230.

[0100] The battery cell 20 is the smallest unit that constitutes the power battery system. Each battery cell 20 has independent energy storage and output capabilities. The battery cell 20 is mainly composed of the outer shell 210, electrode assembly 220 and cover plate assembly 230. These parts work together to enable the battery cell 20 to safely and efficiently store and release energy.

[0101] The outer casing 210 is the external protective structure of the battery cell 20. The outer casing 210 is usually made of high-strength and corrosion-resistant materials such as metal or plastic, and mainly plays a role in protection and sealing. The outer casing 210 can effectively reduce the damage to the electrode assembly 220 and other internal components caused by external collisions or compression.

[0102] The electrode assembly 220 is the core part of the battery cell 20 and is used to store electrical energy. The electrode assembly 220 is located inside the housing 210 and is connected to the external circuit through the cover assembly 230 to realize the transfer of electrical energy between the battery cells 20. The electrode assembly 220 is typically composed of key components such as positive electrode, negative electrode, electrolyte and separator. The positive electrode and negative electrode store and release energy respectively, the electrolyte is responsible for transferring ions between the positive and negative electrodes, and the separator is used to separate the positive and negative electrodes to reduce the risk of short circuit.

[0103] The cover assembly 230 is the top structure of the battery cell 20. It is fixed to the outer casing 210 by welding or other means to enhance the integrity and sealing of the battery cell 20. The cover assembly 230 is usually provided with a positive terminal 231 and a negative terminal 231. The terminal 231 is used to connect the battery cell 20 to the external circuit. Safety components such as explosion-proof valves or sealing rings can also be provided on the cover assembly 230 to further improve the safety performance of the battery.

[0104] When the battery cell 20 is charging, the external power source provides electrical energy to the electrode assembly 220 through the positive terminal 231 and the negative terminal 231. The chemical reaction in the electrode assembly 220 converts electrical energy into chemical energy and stores it in the electrode assembly 220. When the battery cell 20 is discharging, the chemical reaction in the electrode assembly 220 converts chemical energy into electrical energy and provides electrical energy to the external circuit through the positive terminal 231 and the negative terminal 231.

[0105] It is understandable that the battery cell 20, as the smallest unit of the power battery system, can improve the safety and reliability of the battery cell 20 through the cooperation of the casing 210, electrode assembly 220 and cover plate assembly 230, and help the battery cell 20 to safely and efficiently store and release energy.

[0106] The battery cell 20 also includes an adapter piece 240, which connects the electrode assembly 220 and the cover plate assembly 230. The adapter piece 240 mainly serves as a bridge for current transmission between the electrode assembly 220 and the cover plate assembly 230. The adapter piece 240 has good conductivity, which helps the smooth transmission of current. For example, in the battery cell 20, the current is transmitted from the negative electrode tab 221 on the electrode assembly 220 to the negative electrode post 231 on the cover plate assembly 230 through the adapter piece 240, and then to the external circuit or other battery cells 20 electrically connected to the negative electrode post 231. At the same time, the current from the external circuit or other battery cells 20 can be transmitted from the positive electrode post 231 to the positive electrode tab 221 through the adapter piece 240, thereby forming a complete current loop.

[0107] In addition, the battery cell 20 generates a certain amount of heat during charging and discharging. As part of the battery, the adapter 240 can also play a certain role in heat conduction, which helps to conduct heat from the inside of the battery to the outside, thereby maintaining the temperature stability of the battery cell 20.

[0108] For example, the adapter 240 is typically made of a metal material with good electrical conductivity, such as copper, aluminum, or copper alloys.

[0109] In this embodiment, the adapter piece 240 may include a first segment 241, a second segment 242, and a third segment 243 connected in sequence. The first segment 241 is connected to the tab 221 of the electrode assembly 220, the third segment 243 is connected to the post 231 of the cover plate assembly 230, the second segment 242 is connected between the first segment 241 and the third segment 243, and the wall thickness of the first segment 241 is less than the wall thickness of the second segment 242 and the third segment 243.

[0110] like Figure 8 As shown, the wall thickness of the first segment 241 is less than that of the second segment 242, and one side of the first segment 241 is flush with one side of the second segment 242. That is, the projection of the first segment 241 along the horizontal direction is located within the projection of the second segment 242 along the horizontal direction. The tab 221 of the electrode assembly 220 is connected to the side of the first segment 241 that is not flush with one side of the second segment 242. This can reduce the portion of the tab 221 that extends beyond the second segment 242 in the vertical direction after connection, thereby reducing the space occupied by the adapter 240 inside the battery cell 20.

[0111] Meanwhile, the first projection and the second projection do not coincide. The first projection is the orthographic projection of the second segment 242 along the distribution direction of the cover plate assembly 230 and the electrode assembly 220. The second projection is the orthographic projection of the end of the tab 221 away from the current collector body 222 of the electrode assembly 220 along the distribution direction. In other words, the end of the tab 221 away from the current collector body 222 of the electrode assembly 220 is connected to the first segment 241, and the orthographic projection of this end along the distribution direction of the cover plate assembly 230 and the electrode assembly 220 falls on the first segment 241.

[0112] Taking the distribution direction of the cover plate assembly 230 and the electrode assembly 220 as the vertical direction as an example, the thickness direction of the adapter piece 240 is also the vertical direction. At this time, the first segment 241 is located on both sides of the second segment 242 along the horizontal direction. The tab 221 of the electrode assembly 220 is connected to one side of the first segment 241 along the vertical direction. That is, the orthographic projections of the first segment 241 and the second segment 242 along the vertical direction do not coincide, and the orthographic projections of the tab 221 and the second segment 242 along the vertical direction also do not coincide.

[0113] It should be noted that the adapter piece 240 of this solution can be applied to multi-roll electrode assemblies, such as dual-roll electrode assemblies, or to single-roll electrode assemblies. When the adapter piece 240 is applied to a dual-roll electrode assembly, the first segment 241 is located on opposite sides of the second segment 242 along the width direction. When the adapter piece 240 is applied to a single-roll electrode assembly, the first segment 241 is also located on opposite sides of the second segment 242 along the length direction.

[0114] In related technologies, in order to enable the battery device to obtain sufficient power, multiple battery cells inside the battery device are usually stacked in an arranged manner. Each battery cell includes a shell, an electrode assembly, a cover assembly, and an adapter plate. The electrode assembly consists of a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator. The tabs of the electrode assembly and the terminals of the cover assembly are connected by an adapter plate. Current can be transferred between the electrode assembly and the cover assembly through the adapter plate, thereby realizing the charging and discharging of the battery cell.

[0115] However, with the internal space of a single battery cell remaining constant, the capacity requirements of the battery cell are gradually increasing. The increased internal space occupied by the electrode assembly will reduce the available bending space of the tabs, affecting the overcurrent capacity, and there is room for improvement.

[0116] Based on the above considerations, in order to solve the problem of insufficient available bending space for the tab 221, this application provides a battery cell 20, including: a housing 210, an electrode assembly 220, a cover assembly 230, and an adapter piece 240, wherein the electrode assembly 220 is disposed inside the housing 210, the cover assembly 230 is mounted on the housing 210, and the adapter piece 240 includes a first segment 241, a second segment 242, and a third segment 243 connected in sequence. The wall thickness of the first segment 241 is less than the wall thickness of the second segment 242 and the third segment 243. The first segment 241 is connected to the tab 221 of the electrode assembly 220, and the third segment 243 is connected to the terminal post 231 of the cover assembly 230. The orthographic projection of the second segment 242 along the distribution direction of the cover assembly 230 and the electrode assembly 220 does not coincide with the orthographic projection of the tab 221 along the distribution direction.

[0117] In this type of battery cell 20, the overall current carrying capacity of the adapter piece 240 is determined by the section with the smallest wall thickness. The wall thickness of the first section 241 is less than that of the second section 242 and the third section 243. However, the overall thickness of the first section 241 after being connected to the tab 221 is greater than that of the second section 242 and the third section 243. Designing the wall thickness of the second section 242 to be greater than that of the first section 241 can enhance the overall current carrying capacity of the adapter piece 240.

[0118] Furthermore, the first segment 241 on the adapter piece 240, which is used to connect with the tab 221, is designed as a partially thinned structure, so that the wall thickness of the first segment 241 is less than the wall thickness of the second segment 242 and the third segment 243. This can increase the available bending space of the tab 221. At the same time, when the adapter piece 240 is connected to the tab 221, the sum of the thicknesses of the adapter piece 240 and the tab 221 is large, which has good current carrying capacity. Thus, the capacity of the battery cell 20 is increased while the current carrying capacity of the battery cell 20 is improved.

[0119] According to the battery cell 20 provided in the embodiments of this application, the adapter piece 240 is configured as a first segment 241, a second segment 242, and a third segment 243 connected in sequence, and the wall thickness of the first segment 241 on the adapter piece 240 for connecting with the tab 221 is less than the wall thickness of the second segment 242 and the third segment 243. This can increase the available bending space of the tab 221, thereby increasing the capacity of the battery cell 20 while improving the current carrying capacity of the battery cell 20.

[0120] According to some embodiments of this application, refer to Figure 6 Please refer to further details. Figure 7 and Figure 8 The surface of the second segment 242 facing the electrode assembly 220 protrudes towards the electrode assembly 220 relative to the surface of the first segment 241 facing the electrode assembly 220.

[0121] In this embodiment, the first segment 241 of the adapter piece 240 is connected to the tab 221 of the electrode assembly 220, the third segment 243 of the adapter piece 240 is connected to the post 231 of the cover plate assembly 230, and the second segment 242 of the adapter piece 240 is connected between the first segment 241 and the third segment 243. The wall thickness of the first segment 241 is less than the wall thickness of the second segment 242 and the third segment 243. The surface of the first segment 241 facing away from the electrode assembly 220 is flush with the surface of the second segment 242 facing away from the electrode assembly 220. The surface of the second segment 242 facing the electrode assembly 220 protrudes towards the electrode assembly 220 relative to the surface of the first segment 241 facing the electrode assembly 220.

[0122] The tab 221 of the electrode assembly 220 is connected to the surface of the first segment 241 facing the electrode assembly 220. This can reduce the portion of the tab 221 that protrudes from the second segment 242 towards the electrode assembly 220 after connection, thereby reducing the space occupied by the adapter 240 inside the battery cell 20 and increasing the available bending space of the tab 221.

[0123] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 7 As shown, the tab 221 includes a bent section 223, and the free end of the bent section 223 is bent away from the root of the bent section 223 in a direction away from the cover plate assembly 230. The surface of the first section 241 facing the electrode assembly 220 is connected to the surface of the bent section 223 facing the cover plate assembly 230, and the distance from the surface of the first section 241 facing the cover plate assembly 230 to the cover plate assembly 230 is not less than the distance from the root of the bent section 223 to the cover plate assembly 230.

[0124] In this embodiment, the free end of the bent section 223 is the end of the bent section 223 of the tab 221 that is away from the electrode assembly 220. The free end of the bent section 223 is bent away from the cover plate assembly 230 relative to the root of the bent section 223, that is, the free end of the bent section 223 is bent towards the electrode assembly 220.

[0125] The surface of the second segment 242 facing the electrode assembly 220 protrudes towards the electrode assembly 220 relative to the surface of the first segment 241 facing the electrode assembly 220. The surface of the first segment 241 facing the electrode assembly 220 is connected to the surface of the bent segment 223 facing the cover plate assembly 230. After connection, the surface of the bent segment 223 facing the electrode assembly 220 protrudes towards the electrode assembly 220 relative to the surface of the second segment 242 facing the electrode assembly 220.

[0126] In addition, the distance from the surface of the first segment 241 facing the cover plate assembly 230 to the cover plate assembly 230 is not less than the distance from the root of the bent segment 223 to the cover plate assembly 230, which can provide sufficient bending space for the bent segment 223 of the tab 221.

[0127] According to some embodiments of this application, see Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the surface of the first segment 241 facing the cover plate assembly 230 is flush with the surface of the second segment 242 facing the cover plate assembly 230.

[0128] In this embodiment, the surface of the first segment 241 facing the cover plate assembly 230 is flush with the surface of the second segment 242 facing the cover plate assembly 230, and the wall thickness of the first segment 241 is less than the wall thickness of the second segment 242. Then, the surface of the second segment 242 facing the electrode assembly 220 protrudes towards the electrode assembly 220 relative to the surface of the first segment 241 facing the electrode assembly 220.

[0129] In the above embodiment, the surface of the first segment 241 facing the cover plate assembly 230 is flush with the surface of the second segment 242 facing the cover plate assembly 230, which can reduce the space occupied by the adapter piece 240 and thus improve the space utilization of the battery cell 20.

[0130] According to some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, Figure 9 This is the second schematic diagram of the structure of the adapter piece 240 of the battery cell 20 provided in some embodiments of this application. Figure 10 for Figure 9 The cross-sectional view at point AA. The wall thickness of the second segment 242 is T, and the wall thickness of the first segment 241 is C, where C ≤ 0.65T.

[0131] In this embodiment, the wall thickness of the second segment 242 is defined as T, the wall thickness of the first segment 241 is defined as C, and the difference between the wall thickness of the second segment 242 and the wall thickness of the first segment 241 is the thinning thickness of the first segment 241. At the same time, the thinning thickness of the first segment 241 is the bending space of the tab 221 that can be saved.

[0132] In addition, the wall thickness C of the first segment 241 is no more than 0.65 times the wall thickness T of the second segment 242, which means that the maximum bending space that can be saved for the tab 221 is 0.35 times the wall thickness T of the second segment 242.

[0133] According to some embodiments of this application, the orthographic projection of the third segment 243 along the distribution direction of the cover plate assembly 230 and the electrode assembly 220 does not coincide with the second projection.

[0134] In this embodiment, the second projection is the orthographic projection of the end of the current collector body 222 of the tab 221 away from the electrode assembly 220 along the distribution direction. The orthographic projection of the third segment 243 along the distribution direction of the cover plate assembly 230 and the electrode assembly 220 does not coincide with the orthographic projections of the first segment 241 and the second segment 242 along the distribution direction. The second projection only coincides with the orthographic projection of the first segment 241 along the distribution direction.

[0135] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 8 As shown, the main body 244 of the third segment 243 bends toward the electrode assembly 220 relative to the second segment 242.

[0136] In this embodiment, the main body portion 244 of the third segment 243 is bent toward the electrode assembly 220 relative to the second segment 242, that is, the surface of the main body portion 244 of the third segment 243 toward the electrode assembly 220 protrudes toward the electrode assembly 220 relative to the surface of the second segment 242 toward the electrode assembly 220, and a bent portion is formed at the connection between the main body portion 244 of the second segment 242 and the third segment 243.

[0137] The main body 244 of the third segment 243 is bent toward the electrode assembly 220 relative to the second segment 242, which can reduce the space occupied by the adapter piece 240 and thus improve the space utilization of the battery cell 20.

[0138] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 8 As shown, the third segment 243 includes a main body 244 and a connecting structure 245. The main body 244 is connected to the second segment 242, and the connecting structure 245 is located on the main body 244. The main body 244 protrudes towards the cover plate assembly 230 and is connected to the pole post 231.

[0139] In this embodiment, the third segment 243 includes a main body portion 244, which is connected to the second segment 242, and the surface of the main body portion 244 of the third segment 243 facing the electrode assembly 220 protrudes toward the electrode assembly 220 relative to the surface of the second segment 242 facing the electrode assembly 220.

[0140] In addition, the main body 244 protrudes towards the cover plate assembly 230 to form a connecting structure 245. The connecting structure 245 is mainly used to connect with the electrode post 231. The surface of the connecting structure 245 protrudes towards the cover plate assembly 230 and is recessed towards the electrode assembly 220, so that the thickness of the connecting structure 245 is not much different from the thickness of the main body 244.

[0141] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the second segment 242 is connected to the first segment 241 on both sides that are relatively spaced apart along the width direction of the battery cell 20. The two first segments 241 of the adapter piece 240 are respectively connected to the tabs 221 that are relatively spaced apart along the width direction of the battery cell 20 and have the same polarity.

[0142] In this embodiment, the electrode assembly 220 includes tabs 221 that are spaced apart from each other along the width direction of the battery cell 20 and have the same polarity. The tabs 221 with the same polarity are located at the same end of the electrode assembly 220, and the electrode assembly 220 has tabs 221 with different polarities at both ends along the height direction of the battery cell 20.

[0143] Taking the width direction of the battery cell 20 as the same as the width direction of the second segment 242 as an example, the second segment 242 is connected to the first segment 241 on both sides that are relatively spaced apart along the width direction of the battery cell 20, and the second segment 242 is connected to the third segment 243 at one end along the length direction of the battery cell 20. The length of the first segment 241 is the same as the length of the second segment 242, and the width of the third segment 243 is the same as the width of the second segment 242.

[0144] The two first segments 241 of the adapter piece 240 are respectively connected to the tabs 221 that are spaced apart from each other along the width direction of the battery cell 20 and have the same polarity. The connection structure 245 of the third segment 243 of the adapter piece 240 is connected to the terminal post 231 of the cover plate assembly 230, thereby forming the current flow path of the adapter piece 240.

[0145] According to some embodiments of this application, a temperature rise simulation experiment was conducted on a battery cell 20 using the adapter 240 of this application.

[0146] In this embodiment, the cover plate assembly 230 is located at both ends of the battery cell 20 along the height direction. One cover plate assembly 230 is provided with a positive electrode post 231, and the other cover plate assembly 230 is provided with a negative electrode post 231. The electrode assembly 220 is located inside the battery cell 20 and is spaced apart from the cover plate assembly 230. The electrode assembly 220 is provided with a positive electrode tab 221 and a negative electrode tab 221 at both ends along the height direction of the battery cell 20, and there are two positive electrode tabs 221 and two negative electrode tabs 221.

[0147] The adapter 240 of this application is connected between the positive electrode post 231 and the positive electrode tab 221, and the negative electrode post and the negative electrode tab are connected by a conventional adapter to obtain the experimental group battery cell 20. Temperature rise simulation experiments are carried out on the above experimental group battery cell 20 and the control group battery cell that uses conventional adapters for both positive and negative electrodes, and the temperature difference of the positive electrode adapter between the experimental group battery cell 20 and the control group battery cell is compared.

[0148] The temperature rise simulation experiment was conducted under the condition that the battery cell operates at 1300A for 10s. The temperature of the positive electrode adapter 240 of the experimental group battery cell 20 was 79.6℃, while the temperature of the positive electrode adapter of the control group battery cell was 91℃. Compared with the control group battery cell, the temperature of the positive electrode adapter 240 of the experimental group battery cell 20 decreased by nearly 12℃, which means that the adapter 240 of this application has a higher current carrying capacity than conventional adapters.

[0149] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figures 8-10 As shown, this application also provides an adapter piece 240 applied to a battery cell 20. The adapter piece 240 includes a first segment 241, a second segment 242, and a third segment 243 connected in sequence. The wall thickness of the first segment 241 is less than the wall thickness of the second segment 242 and the third segment 243. The first segment 241 has a connection surface for connecting with the tab 221 of the battery cell 20, and the third segment 243 has a connection structure 245 for connecting with the terminal post 231 of the battery cell 20.

[0150] In this embodiment, the adapter piece 240 is connected between the electrode assembly 220 and the cover plate assembly 230, and is mainly used as a bridge for current transmission between the electrode assembly 220 and the cover plate assembly 230. The adapter piece 240 has good conductivity, which helps the smooth transmission of current. The adapter piece 240 may include a first segment 241, a second segment 242 and a third segment 243 connected in sequence. The first segment 241 is connected to the tab 221 of the electrode assembly 220, the third segment 243 is connected to the pole post 231 of the cover plate assembly 230 through the connecting structure 245, the second segment 242 is connected between the first segment 241 and the third segment 243, and the wall thickness of the first segment 241 is smaller than the wall thickness of the second segment 242 and the third segment 243.

[0151] like Figure 10 As shown, the wall thickness of the first segment 241 is less than that of the second segment 242, and one side of the first segment 241 is flush with one side of the second segment 242. That is, the projection of the first segment 241 along the horizontal direction is located within the projection of the second segment 242 along the horizontal direction. The tab 221 of the electrode assembly 220 is connected to the side of the first segment 241 that is not flush with one side of the second segment 242. This can reduce the portion of the tab 221 that extends beyond the second segment 242 after connection, thereby reducing the space occupied by the adapter 240 inside the battery cell 20.

[0152] For example, the adapter 240 is typically made of a metal material with good electrical conductivity, such as copper, aluminum, or copper alloys.

The first segment 241 is connected to the tab 221 of the electrode assembly 220, and the third segment 243 is connected to the terminal post 231 of the cover assembly 230. The first projection and the second projection do not coincide. The first projection is the orthographic projection of the second segment 242 along the distribution direction of the cover assembly 230 and the electrode assembly 220, and the second projection is the orthographic projection along the distribution direction of the end of the tab 221 away from the current collector body 222 of the electrode assembly 220. The surface of the second segment 242 facing the electrode assembly 220 protrudes towards the electrode assembly 220 relative to the surface of the first segment 241 facing the electrode assembly 220. The tab 221 includes a bent segment 223, and the free end of the bent segment 223 is bent away from the cover plate assembly 230 relative to its root.
