Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of batteries, and in particular to cylindrical cells and electronic devices. [Background technology]

[0002] Cylindrical cells, which feature high energy density, high safety and low cost, are currently an important topic of research in the field of new energy power batteries. A cylindrical cell includes a housing, an electrode assembly, a pole, and a cover plate. The housing is a cylindrical structure with one end open. The electrode assembly is provided in the housing, the pole is fixed to the end wall of the housing and is electrically connected with the first tab of the electrode assembly, and the cover plate seals the open end of the housing and is electrically connected with the second tab of the electrode assembly.

[0003] The electrode assembly of the existing cylindrical cell includes a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet, and a separator. A positive electrode tab is connected to one end of the positive electrode sheet, and a negative electrode tab is connected to one end of the negative electrode sheet. A predetermined number of positive electrode sheets, separators, and negative electrode sheets are stacked in a predetermined manner and then wound to form an electrode assembly. Then, the positive electrode tab assembly is formed into a positive electrode tab by kneading, and the negative electrode tab assembly is formed into a negative electrode tab by kneading. However, in the existing technology, the tab is not cut, and the kneading process involves forming the entire tab flat with a kneading roller, so the kneaded surface is high density. Since the entire end surface of the electrode assembly is covered with the kneading tab, it becomes difficult to eject the cylindrical cell, and electrolyte penetration is likely to be poor, which affects the reliability of the cylindrical cell.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0024] In order to better explain the technical problems solved by the present invention, the technical aspects adopted, and the technical effects achieved by the present invention, the technical aspects of the present invention are further described below through specific implementation methods in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

A first feature being "below," "below," and "under" a second feature indicates that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is in a lower hierarchy than the second feature.

[0027] In the description of the present invention, the orientation or positional relationship of the terms "upper", "lower", "left" and "right" is to be interpreted based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the attached drawings, and is used solely for convenience of description and simplification of operation. It does not indicate or imply that the referenced device or element has a specific orientation, is configured in a specific orientation, and needs to operate. Therefore, it should not be interpreted as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for distinction in the description, and have no special meaning.

[0028] FIG. 1 shows a cross-sectional view of a first type of cylindrical cell provided by the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the cylindrical cell includes a housing 1, a pole 2, an electrode assembly 3, a cover plate 4, a connection part 5, a first insulating member 61, a second insulating member 62, a first sealing member 71, and a second sealing member 72. The housing 1 includes an end wall 11 and a surrounding wall 12 surrounding the outer periphery of the end wall 11. The pole 2 penetrates the end wall 11 and is fixed to the end wall 11 in a state insulated from the end wall 11. The electrode assembly 3 is provided in the housing 1, and the electrode assembly 3 is electrically connected to the pole 2 through the connection part 5. The cover plate 4 is fixed to one end of the surrounding wall 12 away from the end wall 11. The pole 2 is riveted to the end wall 11. A first sealing member 71 and a first insulating member 61 are provided between the upper end of the pole 2 and the outer surface of the end wall 11. The first sealing member 71 surrounds the outer circumferential side of the pole 2, the first insulating member 61 surrounds the outer circumferential side of the first sealing member 71, and the second insulating member 62 is provided between the lower end of the pole 2 and the inner surface of the end wall 11 to ensure the insulating connection between the pole 2, the connecting part 5, and the housing 1. The packaging process of the housing 1 and the cover plate 4 may be as follows. After performing roll groove processing on one end of the peripheral wall 12 of the housing 1 away from the end wall 11, the second sealing member 72 covers the outer circumferential side of the cover plate 4, and the assembly body of the cover plate 4 and the second sealing member 72 is placed in the roller groove, and finally, the peripheral wall 12 of the housing 1 is folded inward and fixed to the cover plate 4 to complete the packaging of the housing 1.

[0029] 1, the electrode assembly 3 includes an electrode assembly body 31, a first tab 32, and a second tab 33. The first tab 32 is provided at a first end of the electrode assembly body 31 facing the pole 2. The first tab 32 is electrically connected to the pole 2 via a connection part 5. The second tab 33 is provided at a second end of the electrode assembly body 31 away from the pole 2, and the second tab 33 is electrically connected to the peripheral wall 12 of the housing 1. The first tab 32 is a positive electrode tab, and the second tab 33 is a negative electrode tab. The processing technique of the electrode assembly 3 is as follows. The electrode assembly 3 is formed by winding a first electrode, a second electrode, and a separator between the first electrode and the second electrode around a winding axis. The first electrode and the second electrode respectively include a first non-coated region and a second non-coated region that are not covered with the active material layer along the winding direction, and the first non-coated region and the second non-coated region are respectively located on two end faces of the electrode assembly. A first tab 32 is formed by the first non-coated region, and a second tab 33 is formed by the second non-coated region.

[0030] FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of the first tab region 320 of the first type cylindrical cell provided in the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2 together with FIG. 1, the orthogonal projection of the first tab 32 at the first end of the electrode assembly body 31 is the first tab region 320, and the distance between any point on the outer boundary of the first tab region 320 and the inside of the peripheral wall 12 is L1. The inner radius of the peripheral wall 12 is R0, and the ratio of L1 to R0 ranges from 0.3 to 0.7. It should be noted that if the ratio of L1 to R0 is greater than 0.7, the area occupied by the first tab region 320 is too small, which causes the following defects: First, the overcurrent capability of the cell is reduced, and high-power discharge cannot be realized. Second, if the tab region is too small, the resistance of the corresponding tab will be large, which may generate a large amount of heat in the tab during the cell discharge process, causing thermal runaway of the cell. If the ratio of L1 to R0 is less than 0.3, the first tab region 320 covers most of the position close to the housing 1, which inhibits the permeation of the electrolyte. The first tab structure of the electrode assembly 3 is cut, and the first tabs 32 of the electrode assembly 3 are concentrated in the region of the electrode assembly body 31 close to the center line of the electrode assembly body 31. On the one hand, the density of the first tabs 32 can be reduced, improving the permeation speed and exhaust speed of the electrode assembly 3. On the other hand, the weight of the electrode assembly 3 itself can be reduced, which facilitates the lightweight design of the cylindrical cell. In the prior art, it is common to knead / bend the tabs before connecting them to the connecting parts 5. The tab region here refers to the region in which the orthogonal projection is formed on the electrode assembly body 31 after the tabs are kneaded / bent. For example, the first tab area 320 is an orthogonal projection area formed on the end face of the electrode assembly body 31 after the first tab 32 is kneaded / bent, and the second tab area 330 is an orthogonal projection area formed on the end face of the electrode assembly body 31 after the second tab 33 is kneaded / bent.

[0031] 2, the area of ​​the first tab region 320 is S1, the area of ​​the end of the electrode assembly body 31 is S0, and the ratio of S1 to S0 is in the range of 0.3 to 0.5. If the ratio of S1 to S0 is in the range of 0.3 to 0.5, not only can the overcurrent be ensured, but also the area of ​​the end face of the electrode assembly 3 not covered by the tab region can be ensured to be large enough to facilitate the penetration of the electrolyte. In order to further reduce the weight of the cylindrical cell, the orthogonal projection area of ​​the connection part 5 on the end face of the electrode assembly body 31 is S2, and S2≦S1. With this configuration, not only can the first tab 32 and the connection part 5 be welded and fixed, but also the connection part 5 can be made smaller and lighter. Exemplarily, the shape of the connection part 5 is circular, and one end face of the connection part 5 is welded and fixed to the end face of the pole column 2, and the other end face is welded and fixed to the first tab 32. The welding process of the connection part 5 may be as follows. First, the connection part 5 is welded to the first tab 32 of the electrode assembly 3, then the electrode assembly 3 is loaded into the housing 1, a welding rod is passed through the middle hole of the electrode assembly 3, and the connection part 5 and the pole 2 are welded and fixed using a torque welding method.

[0032] FIG. 3 shows a schematic diagram of the second tab area 330 of the first type cylindrical cell provided in the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3 together with FIG. 1, the orthogonal projection of the second tab 33 at the second end of the electrode assembly body 31 is the second tab area 330, and the distance between any point on the inner boundary of the second tab area 330 and the centerline of the electrode assembly body 31 is L3. The inner radius of the peripheral wall 12 is R0, and the ratio of L3 to R0 ranges from 0.5 to 0.8. The second tab structure of the electrode assembly 3 is cut, and the second tab 33 of the electrode assembly 3 is concentrated in the area of ​​the electrode assembly body 31 away from the centerline of the electrode assembly body 31. On the one hand, the density of the second tab 33 can be reduced, and the permeation rate and discharge rate of the electrode assembly 3 can be improved. On the other hand, the weight of the electrode assembly 3 itself can be reduced, and the lightweight design of the cylindrical cell can be facilitated.

[0033] The number of turns of the electrode assembly body 31 is N, the innermost turn is the first turn, and the outermost turn is the Nth turn, and the second tab area 330 is located between 1 / 2N turns and N turns of the electrode assembly body 31. Exemplarily, when N=2n, n is a positive integer, and the second tab area 330 may be set at an interval of 2n turns from the nth turn of the electrode assembly body 31. When N≠2n, n is a positive integer, 1 / 2N is rounded up to the nearest positive integer, and the second tab area 330 falls within 1 / 2N turns and N turns of the electrode assembly body 31. As shown in FIG. 3, the second tab area 330 of the electrode assembly 3 is located between 1 / 2N turns and N turns of the electrode assembly body 31, and the distance between any point on the outer boundary of the second tab area 330 and the outer wall is 0. Since the second tabs 33 are concentrated on one side close to the peripheral wall 12 of the housing 1, the second tabs 33 can be directly welded to the peripheral wall 12 of the housing 1 to ensure the stability of the cylindrical cell.

[0034] Meanwhile, in the cylindrical cell, both ends of the electrode assembly body 31 have areas not covered by the tabs, which can increase the permeation and discharge rates of the electrode assembly 3. Meanwhile, the half-tab and no-tab designs contribute to reducing the weight of the electrode assembly, optimizing the structure of the cylindrical cell, and improving the energy density.

[0035] FIG. 4 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a second type of cylindrical cell provided by the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the cylindrical cell includes a housing 1, a pole 2, an electrode assembly 3, a cover plate 4, a connection part 5, a first insulating member 61, a second insulating member 62, a first sealing member 71, and a second sealing member. The housing 1 includes an end wall 11 and a surrounding wall 12 surrounding the end wall 11. The pole 2 penetrates the end wall 11 and is connected to the end wall 11 while being insulated from the end wall 11. The electrode assembly 3 is provided in the housing 1, and the electrode assembly 3 is electrically connected to the pole 2 through the connection part 5. The cover plate 4 is fixed to one end of the surrounding wall 12 away from the end wall 11. The pole 2 is riveted to the end wall 11. A first sealing member 71 and a first insulating member 61 are provided between the upper end of the pole 2 and the outer surface of the end wall 11. The first sealing member 71 surrounds the outer periphery of the pole 2, the first insulating member 61 surrounds the outer periphery of the first sealing member 71, and a second insulating member 62 is provided between the lower end of the pole 2 and the inner surface of the end wall 11 to ensure an insulating connection between the pole 2 and the housing 1. The packaging process of the housing 1 and the cover plate 4 may be as follows. After performing roll groove processing on one end of the peripheral wall 12 of the housing 1 away from the end wall 11, the second sealing member 72 covers the outer periphery of the cover plate 4, and the assembly body including the cover plate 4 and the second sealing member 72 is placed in the roller groove, and finally, the peripheral wall 12 of the housing 1 is folded inward and fixed to the cover plate 4 to complete the packaging of the housing 1. The electrode assembly 3 includes an electrode assembly body 31, a first tab 32, and a second tab 33. The first tab 32 is located at a first end of the electrode assembly body 31 facing the pole 2, and the first tab 32 is electrically connected to the pole 2 via the connection part 5, and the second tab 33 is located at a second end of the electrode assembly body 31 away from the pole 2, and the second tab 33 is electrically connected to the surrounding wall 12 of the housing 1.

[0036] The packaging process of the second type cylindrical cell in FIG. 4 is the same as the cover plate 4 of the first type cylindrical cell in FIG. 1, and the details are not repeated here. The main difference between the two is that in FIG. 4, the pole 2 is provided with a liquid inlet 21 for injecting electrolyte into the housing 1. The liquid inlet process of the second type cylindrical cell may be as follows: first, the pole 2 is riveted to the end wall 11 of the housing 1, then the assembly body and the connection parts 5 of the electrode assembly 3 are loaded, and after the cover plate 4 is packaged, the electrolyte is injected into the liquid inlet 21 of the pole 2, and finally the liquid inlet 21 is sealed with a sealing nail.

[0037] FIG. 5 shows a partial schematic diagram of the electrode pillar 2 side of the cylindrical cell of FIG. 4. FIG. 6 shows a schematic diagram of the first tab region 320 of the cylindrical cell of FIG. 4. As shown in FIG. 5-FIG. 6, the distance between any point on the inner boundary of the first tab region 320 and the center line of the electrode assembly body 31 is L2, and the ratio of L2 to R0 is in the range of 0.1 to 0.4. With such a setting, the first tab 32 of the electrode assembly 3 is displaced from the liquid inlet 21, and the electrolyte can flow quickly into the electrode assembly 3, improving the permeation rate of the electrode assembly 3. The liquid injection method of the cylindrical cell of FIG. 1 is performed by injecting liquid into the cover plate 4 side of the housing 1, and the cover plate 4 is packaged after the liquid injection. Therefore, the distance L2 between any point on the inner boundary of the first tab region 320 of the electrode assembly 3 of the cylindrical cell of FIG. 1 and the center line of the electrode assembly body 31 is equal to the radius of the central hole of the electrode assembly 3. Of course, in the embodiment of FIG. 1, the distance L2 between any point on the inner boundary of the first tab region 320 and the centerline of the electrode assembly body 31 can also be set to be larger than the radius of the intermediate hole of the electrode assembly 3 to improve the permeation rate of the electrolyte.

[0038] Furthermore, the connection part 5 is provided with a through hole 51 corresponding to the liquid inlet 21, so that the electrolyte can flow into the electrode assembly 3 through the through hole 51. In order to facilitate welding and fixing the connection part 5 and the electrode post 2, the diameter of the through hole 51 in the connection part 5 is smaller than the diameter of the intermediate hole in the electrode assembly 3, and the diameter of the end face of the electrode post 2 facing the connection part 5 is larger than the diameter of the through hole 51 in the connection part 5.

[0039] 6, the number of turns of the electrode assembly body 31 is N, the innermost turn is the first turn, the outermost turn is the th turn, and the first tab area 320 is located between 1 / 10N turns and 2 / 5N turns of the electrode assembly body 31. The first tab area 320 is preferably located between 1 / 3N turns and 2 / 3N turns of the electrode assembly body 31. Exemplarily, when N=3n, n is a positive integer, and the first tab area 320 may be set at an interval of n turns to 2n turns of the electrode assembly body 31. When N≠3n, n is a positive integer, 1 / 3N and 2 / 3N are rounded up to the nearest positive integer, and the first tab area 320 is located between 1 / 3N turns and 2 / 3N turns of the electrode assembly body 31.

[0040] FIG. 7 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a third type cylindrical cell provided by the present invention. As shown in FIG. 7, the third type cylindrical cell includes a housing 1, a pole 2, an electrode assembly 3, a cover plate 4, a connection part 5, a first insulating member 61, a first sealing member 71, and a second sealing member 72. The housing 1 includes an end wall 11 and a surrounding wall 12 surrounding the end wall 11. The pole 2 penetrates the end wall 11 and is connected to the end wall 11 while being insulated from the end wall 11. The electrode assembly 3 is provided in the housing 1, and the electrode assembly 3 is electrically connected to the pole 2 through the connection part 5. The cover plate 4 is fixed to one end of the surrounding wall 12 away from the end wall 11. The pole 2 is riveted to the end wall 11. A first sealing member 71 and a first insulating member 61 are provided between the upper end of the pole 2 and the outer surface of the end wall 11. The first sealing member 71 surrounds the outer periphery of the pole 2, the first insulating member 61 surrounds the outer periphery of the first sealing member 71, and the second insulating member 62 is provided between the lower end of the pole 2 and the inner surface of the end wall 11 to ensure an insulating connection between the pole 2, the connection part 5, and the housing 1. The packaging process of the housing 1 and the cover plate 4 may be as follows. The cover plate 4 is fixed to the peripheral wall 12 of the housing 1 by welding. The electrode assembly 3 includes an electrode assembly body 31, a first tab 32, and a second tab 33. The first tab 32 is located at a first end of the electrode assembly body 31 facing the pole 2, and the first tab 32 is electrically connected to the pole 2 via the connection part 5, and the second tab 33 is located at a second end of the electrode assembly body 31 away from the pole 2, and the second tab 33 is electrically connected to the cover plate 4.

[0041] The liquid injection process of the third type cylindrical cell in Fig. 7 is the same as that of the second type cylindrical cell in Fig. 4, and liquid injection is realized by providing a liquid injection port 21 on the electrode column 2, and the details will not be repeated here. The main difference between the two is that in Fig. 7, the cover plate 4 is directly and electrically connected to the second tab 33 of the electrode assembly 3, and then the cover plate 4 is fixed to the surrounding wall 12 of the housing 1 by welding.

[0042] FIG. 8 shows a schematic diagram of the second tab area 330 of the cylindrical cell of FIG. 7. As shown in FIG. 8 together with FIG. 7, the orthogonal projection of the second tab 33 at the second end of the electrode assembly body 31 is the second tab area 330, and the distance between any point on the inner boundary of the second tab area 330 and the center line of the electrode assembly is L3. The inner radius of the peripheral wall 12 is R0, and the ratio of L3 to R0 ranges from 0.5 to 0.8. The distance between the outer boundary of the second tab area 330 and the inner side of the peripheral wall 12 is L4, and the ratio of L4 to R0 ranges from 0.2 to 0.4. In this way, the second tabs 33 of the electrode assembly 3 can be concentrated at a position toward the outside from the center of the electrode assembly body 31 to facilitate the welding fixation of the second tabs 33 to the cover plate 4.

[0043] Of course, the form of the electrical connection between the second tab 33 of the electrode assembly 3 and the housing 1 is not limited to the above example. In other embodiments, the cylindrical cell may further include a negative electrode connection part, the negative electrode tab 33 may be electrically connected to the negative electrode connection part, and the negative electrode connection part may be electrically connected to the housing 1.

[0044] The present invention further provides an electronic device with a cylindrical cell, through the use of the cylindrical cell, the electronic device can have high energy density and stable performance, improving the user experience.

[0045] Optionally, the electronic device may be a power cell of a new energy vehicle, a new energy storage device, an electronic product, etc., which will not be described in detail herein.
