Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of lithium batteries, and specifically relates to a method for manufacturing a large-capacity battery and a large-capacity battery. [Background technology]
[0002] Typically, the maximum capacity of commercially available prismatic lithium iron phosphate batteries is 400Ah, while the maximum capacity of cylindrical batteries is no more than 100Ah. However, with the rise of new energy vehicles and new energy public transportation vehicles, the demand for lithium-ion battery capacity is increasing. Therefore, when manufacturing high-capacity lithium batteries, multiple cores must be connected in parallel. This often leads to problems with high-capacity batteries, such as battery overheating, overcharging, and poor consistency during use. Furthermore, when multiple cores are connected in parallel, variations in performance parameters such as core capacity, resistance, voltage, and self-discharge often occur. A quality problem with one core can affect the performance of the entire high-capacity battery. This leads to poor consistency after the cores are connected in parallel, resulting in unstable performance and high waste rates. Furthermore, most existing high-capacity lithium batteries are manufactured by connecting multiple cores in parallel and then uniformly injecting electrolyte, which results in poor overall performance.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0031] The present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely for interpreting the technical principles of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application.
[0032] For large-capacity batteries, the consistency of the resistance, capacity, voltage, and self-discharge of each wound or laminated core connected in parallel inside the battery is a key indicator, and using wound or laminated cores with poor consistency can lead to various defects such as battery capacity not reaching the standard, battery overheating and overcharging, poor consistency, etc. Based on this, this application proposes a method for manufacturing a large-capacity battery.
[0033] FIG. 1 shows a schematic flow chart of a method for manufacturing a large-capacity battery according to the present invention, which includes the following steps 101 to 103.
[0034] Step 101: Assemble the wound cells or laminated cells that make up the large-capacity battery core individually to form a battery core, and then perform chemical formation and capacity grading. Capacity grading is the detection and calibration of the capacity, internal resistance, voltage, and self-discharge of the battery core or large-capacity battery.
[0035] Step 102: Each battery core is divided into groups according to one or more of capacity, internal resistance, voltage, and self-discharge, and the battery cores in the same group are combined, connected in parallel, and placed in a large-capacity battery box.
[0036] Step 103: A secondary injection is carried out so that the electrolyte in the battery core and the electrolyte in the large-capacity battery box can pass through each other, and then sealing and capacity grading are carried out.
[0037] The wound or laminated cell of the above-mentioned large-capacity battery core includes at least one wound or laminated core. First, at least one wound or laminated core is assembled to form a battery core, which is then chemically formed and capacity graded. The battery cores made from at least one wound or laminated core are classified according to one or more of capacity, internal resistance, voltage, and self-discharge. The battery cores made from at least one wound or laminated core are then classified into grade A, B, C, or higher according to the above grades. The grade C cores are discarded, and at least one grade A is combined with another grade A, and one grade B is combined with another grade B. The battery cores are then unwrapped and placed in a large-capacity battery box. After being placed in the large-capacity battery box, secondary injection is performed. After the secondary injection, the injection holes of the large-capacity battery are sealed, and the large-capacity battery is then capacity graded.
[0038] Before the secondary injection, the battery core must be opened (i.e., the battery core is unsealed) so that the inner chamber of the battery core and the inner chamber of the large-capacity battery box are in communication with each other. After the secondary injection, the electrolyte in the battery core and the electrolyte in the large-capacity battery box can pass through each other. Alternatively, the shell of the battery core is provided with a dissolvable sheet that is soluble in the electrolyte. This dissolvable sheet is formed during the manufacture of the battery core. After the secondary injection, the dissolvable sheet is dissolved by the electrolyte in the battery box, allowing the electrolyte in the battery core and the electrolyte in the large-capacity battery box to pass through each other. Specifically, the dissolvable sheet is made of a material that is soluble in the electrolyte, such as polymethyl methacrylate, polyvinyl chloride, polycarbonate, or ABS plastic. To prevent the dissolvable sheet from dissolving in the electrolyte in the battery core before the secondary injection, an isolating film may be provided on one side of the dissolvable sheet facing the inside of the battery core. Although the isolating film is insoluble in the electrolyte, it can fall off after the dissolvable sheet dissolves, allowing the electrolyte in the battery core and the electrolyte in the large-capacity battery box to pass through each other.
[0039] Example 1 For a 1000Ah large-capacity battery, ten groups of 100Ah laminated cores are used. First, the positive and negative electrode materials are prepared, coated, compacted, and cut, and then laminated to form a laminated core. The positive and negative electrodes are welded to the laminated core, placed in a simple soft pack, injected with electrolyte, vacuum extracted, and then formed and capacity graded. The internal resistance is graded according to 0.5mΩ≦R<0.55mΩ, 0.55mΩ≦R≦0.6mΩ, and R>0.6mΩ, and the batteries are graded into three categories: A, B, and C. C The battery is then reclassified according to the resistance range, voltage difference within the group≦10mV, and capacity difference within the group≦2Ah. The batteries in the same group are connected in parallel using poles, the soft packs are removed and compressed, and the batteries are placed in a large-capacity battery box with a combination top cover attached. They are then vacuum extracted, injected, and sealed again to form a consistent 1000Ah large-capacity battery. The large-capacity battery can then be capacity-graded, and aged at high temperature before capacity grading.
[0040] In the manufacturing method for a large-capacity battery according to this embodiment, the wound cells or laminated cells that make up the large-capacity battery core are individually assembled to form a battery core, and then chemical formation and capacity grading are performed. The cells are then divided into groups that are similar to each other according to one or more of capacity, internal resistance, voltage, and self-discharge, and the cells are combined within the groups, connected in parallel, and placed in a large-capacity battery box. Further, a secondary liquid injection is performed so that the electrolyte in the battery core and the electrolyte in the large-capacity battery box can mutually pass through each other, and then the cells are sealed and capacity grading is performed.
[0041] According to the method of this embodiment, after one injection, the batteries are subjected to chemical formation, capacity grading, and classification, and multiple batteries of the same grade are connected in parallel and placed in a large-capacity battery box before being re-injected with electrolyte. This improves the consistency of each parallel-connected cell in the large-capacity battery, and improves the quality control efficiency and battery quality of the large-capacity battery.
[0042] This embodiment further proposes a large-capacity battery manufactured using the chemical formation and capacity grading process for large-capacity batteries described in the above embodiment. According to the large-capacity battery of this embodiment, after one injection, the batteries are subjected to chemical formation, capacity grading, and classification, and multiple batteries of the same grade are connected in parallel and placed in a large-capacity battery box before being re-injected with electrolyte, thereby improving the consistency of each parallel-connected cell in the large-capacity battery and improving the efficiency of quality control and battery quality of the large-capacity battery.
