DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present disclosure, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure.

[0039] Hereinafter, a battery cell 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] As shown in Figures 1 to 8, a battery cell 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is characterized in that it includes: a shell assembly 1 and a pole core 2; the pole core 2 is arranged in the shell assembly 1, and the pole core 2 includes a plurality of pole pieces 21, each of which is provided with a pole ear 22 and a cutting edge 23 at both ends, and the plurality of pole pieces 21 are divided into a first pole piece 211 and a second pole piece 212 with opposite polarities, and the first pole piece 211 and the second pole piece 212 are arranged in sequence, and the pole ear 22 of the first pole piece 211 and the pole ear of the second pole piece 211 are arranged in sequence. 22 is located on different sides of the pole core 2; the pole tabs 22 located on the same side are electrically connected to the first connecting surface 31 of the connector 3. On the same side of the pole core 2, the spacing between the first connecting surface 31 and the cutting edge 23 is L, the number of pole pieces 21 with the same polarity is n, the number of bending layers of the pole tabs 22 is m, the thickness of the battery cell 100 is T, the thickness of the pole piece 21 is t, and the battery cell 100 satisfies the following relationship: 0.5≤N=(L-5-0.1*T / 2) / (n*m*t)≤15.

[0041] In this way, the tab 22 can be ensured to be in good condition after bending, so as to avoid the root of the tab 22 squeezing the cutting edge 23 of the opposite pole piece 21 after bending, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the battery cell 100, and ensuring the space utilization of the battery cell 100, thereby improving the quality of the battery cell 100.

[0042] For example, as shown in Figures 1-4, a battery cell 100 includes a housing assembly 1 and a pole core 2. The housing assembly 1 is constructed in a square structure and defines a receiving cavity. The pole core 2 is mounted within the receiving cavity of the housing assembly 1. A pole post 13 is provided on the housing assembly 1. The pole post 13 can extend through the housing assembly 1 along its thickness to extend into the receiving cavity and is positioned opposite the pole core 2. The pole core 2 includes a plurality of pole pieces 21. Each pole piece 21 has a ground edge and a split edge 23 at its ends, with a pole tab 22 connected to the ground edge. The plurality of pole pieces 21 are divided into a first pole piece 211 and a second pole piece 212 of opposite polarity. For example, the first pole piece 211 can be configured as a negative pole piece and the second pole piece 212 can be configured as a positive pole piece. The plurality of first pole pieces 211 and the plurality of second pole pieces 212 are arranged sequentially and insulated from each other, i.e., arranged in the order of first pole piece 211, second pole piece 212, first pole piece 211, and second pole piece 212. The pole lug 22 of the first pole piece 211 and the pole lug 22 of the second pole piece 211 are located on different sides of the pole core 2, so that the pole lugs 22 of the pole pieces 21 with opposite polarities are located on different sides, so that the pole lugs 22 of the pole pieces 21 with opposite polarities can be staggered, thereby avoiding electrical connection between the pole pieces 21 with opposite polarities.

[0043] At the same time, a connector 3 can be provided on the side wall of the housing assembly 1. One side of the connector 3 is electrically connected to the pole 13 and the other side has a first connection surface 31. The first connection surface 31 can be in contact with the tab 22 located on one side of the pole core 2, so that the pole core 2 can be electrically connected to the pole 13 through the tab 22 and the connector 3, so that the battery cell 100 can supply power to the outside through the pole 13. It should be noted that the tab 22 is bent so that the tab 22 can contact the first connection surface 31 over a large area.

[0044] Among them, on the same side of the pole core 2, the distance between the first connecting surface 31 and the cutting edge 23 can be set to L, the number of pole pieces 21 with the same polarity (such as positive pole pieces or negative pole pieces) can be set to n, the number of bending layers of the pole ear 22 can be set to m, the thickness of the battery cell 100 is set to T, and the thickness of the pole piece 21 is set to t. The battery cell 100 satisfies the following relationship: 0.5≤N=(L-5-0.1*T / 2) / (n*m*t)≤15.

[0045] That is, the spacing L between the first connecting surface 31 and the cutting edge 23 on the same side thereof can be set to be greater than or equal to the sum of 0.5 times the reference coefficient plus 0.05 times the thickness of the pole core 2 and 5 mm, and less than or equal to the sum of 15 times the reference coefficient plus 0.05 times the thickness of the battery cell 100 and 5 mm. The reference coefficient is the product of the sum of the thicknesses of multiple pole pieces 21 with the same polarity multiplied by the number of bent layers of the tab 22. In this way, the spacing L between the first connecting surface 31 and the cutting edge 23 on the same side thereof can be limited to a certain range, ensuring that the tab 22 is in good condition after bending, and preventing the base of the tab 22 from squeezing the cutting edge 23 of the opposite pole piece 21 after bending, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the battery cell 100 and ensuring the space utilization rate of the battery cell 100. This is conducive to improving the quality of the battery cell 100.

[0046] Specifically, in the battery cell test data table of FIG7 , as shown in Test Data 1, the number of positive electrode sheets can be set to 37 and the thickness to 0.013 mm, the number of negative electrode sheets can be set to 38 and the thickness to 0.006 mm, the thickness of the battery cell 100 can be set to 13.5 mm, the number of bent layers of the tab 22 can be set to 3, the spacing between the cut edge 23 of the negative electrode sheet and the first connecting surface 31 on the corresponding side can be set to 8.81 mm, and the spacing between the cut edge 23 of the positive electrode sheet and the first connecting surface 31 on the corresponding side can be set to 9 mm. In this case, the coefficient N corresponding to the positive electrode sheet is 2.17, and the coefficient N corresponding to the negative electrode sheet is 4.86. These coefficients meet the above-specified ranges, and the bent state of the tab 22 is good.

[0047] As shown in Experimental Data 2, the number of positive electrode sheets can be set to 37 and their thickness to 0.013 mm, the number of negative electrode sheets can be set to 38 and their thickness to 0.006 mm, the thickness of the battery cell 100 can be set to 13.5 mm, the number of bent layers of the tab 22 can be set to 3, the spacing between the cut edge 23 of the negative electrode sheet and the first connecting surface 31 on the corresponding side can be set to 5.9 mm, and the spacing between the cut edge 23 of the positive electrode sheet and the first connecting surface 31 on the corresponding side can be set to 6 mm. In this case, the coefficient N corresponding to the positive electrode sheet is 0.16, and the coefficient N corresponding to the negative electrode sheet is 0.47. These coefficients are less than the specified range. The cut edge 23 is too close to the connector 3, and the tab 22 is excessively squeezed by the connector 3, which can easily cause a short circuit.

[0048] As shown in Experimental Data 3, the number of positive electrode sheets can be set to 37 and their thickness to 0.013 mm, the number of negative electrode sheets can be set to 38 and their thickness to 0.006 mm, the thickness of the battery cell 100 can be set to 13.5 mm, the number of bent tab layers can be set to 3, the spacing between the negative electrode sheet's cut edge 23 and the corresponding first connection surface 31 can be set to 27.78 mm, and the spacing between the positive electrode sheet's cut edge 23 and the corresponding first connection surface 31 can be set to 17.5 mm. In this case, the coefficient N corresponding to the positive electrode sheet is 15.32, and the coefficient N corresponding to the negative electrode sheet is 17.29. These coefficients are greater than the specified range, and the cut edge 23 is too far from the connector 3, resulting in low space utilization.

[0049] As shown in Experimental Data 4, the number of positive electrode sheets can be set to 54 with a thickness of 0.013 mm, the number of negative electrode sheets can be set to 55 with a thickness of 0.006 mm, the thickness of the battery cell 100 can be set to 19.6 mm, the number of bent layers of the tab 22 can be set to 3, the spacing between the cut edge 23 of the negative electrode sheet and the first connecting surface 31 on the corresponding side can be set to 9.11 mm, and the spacing between the cut edge 23 of the positive electrode sheet and the first connecting surface 31 on the corresponding side can be set to 9 mm. In this case, the coefficient N corresponding to the positive electrode sheet is 1.49, and the coefficient N corresponding to the negative electrode sheet is 4.58. These coefficients meet the above-specified ranges, and the tab 22 is in a good bending state.

[0050] As shown in Experimental Data 5, the number of positive electrode sheets can be set to 54 and their thickness to 0.013 mm, the number of negative electrode sheets can be set to 55 and their thickness to 0.006 mm, the thickness of the battery cell 100 can be set to 19.6 mm, the number of bent layers of the tab 22 can be set to 3, the spacing between the cut edge 23 of the negative electrode sheet and the first connecting surface 31 on the corresponding side can be set to 6.57 mm, and the spacing between the cut edge 23 of the positive electrode sheet and the first connecting surface 31 on the corresponding side can be set to 6.28 mm. In this case, the coefficient N corresponding to the positive electrode sheet is 0.28, and the coefficient N corresponding to the negative electrode sheet is 0.45. These coefficients are less than the specified range. The cut edge 23 is too close to the connector 3, and the tab 22 is excessively squeezed by the connector 3, which can easily cause a short circuit.

[0051] As shown in Experimental Data 6, the number of positive electrode sheets can be set to 54 and their thickness to 0.013 mm, the number of negative electrode sheets can be set to 55 and their thickness to 0.006 mm, the thickness of the battery cell 100 can be set to 19.6 mm, the number of bent layers of the tab 22 can be set to 3, the spacing between the cut edge 23 of the negative electrode sheet and the first connecting surface 31 on the corresponding side can be set to 38 mm, and the spacing between the cut edge 23 of the positive electrode sheet and the first connecting surface 31 on the corresponding side can be set to 17.5 mm. In this case, the coefficient N corresponding to the positive electrode sheet is 15.2, and the coefficient N corresponding to the negative electrode sheet is 16.7. These coefficients are greater than the specified range, and the cut edge 23 is too far from the connector 3, resulting in low space utilization.

[0052] According to the battery cell 100 of the embodiment of the present disclosure, by limiting the distance between the first connecting surface 31 and the cutting edge 23 of the pole piece 21 on the same side thereof to the above-mentioned range, it can be ensured that the pole tab 22 is in a good state after bending, so as to avoid the root of the pole tab 22 squeezing the cutting edge 23 of the opposite pole piece 21 after bending, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the battery cell 100, ensuring the space utilization of the battery cell 100, and improving the quality of the battery cell 100.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the number of bending layers of the tab 22 is set to 1≤m≤3. For example, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the number of bending layers of the tab 22 can be set to 1; or, the number of bending layers of the tab 22 can be set to 2; or, the number of bending layers of the tab 22 can be set to 3, and the present disclosure does not impose any restrictions on this. Through the above settings, it is possible to avoid excessive stress on the connector 3 due to an excessive number of layers, reduce the impact of the connector 3 on the cutting edge 23 of the pole piece 21 with opposite polarity, and improve the reliability of the battery cell 100.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the length H of the battery cell 100 is 400 mm ≤ H ≤ 1500 mm. For example, as shown in FIG4 , the length H of the battery cell 100 can be set to H. The length H of the battery cell 100 can be 600 mm, 950 mm, 1300 mm, or any other value that satisfies the requirements, which is not limited by the present disclosure.

[0055] The above configuration can prevent the battery cell 100 from being too long, thereby improving the structural stability of the battery cell 100 , and can prevent the battery cell 100 from being too short, thereby improving the energy density of the battery cell 100 and enhancing the practicality of the battery cell 100 .

[0056] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the width W of the battery cell 100 is 80 mm ≤ W ≤ 240 mm. For example, as shown in FIG. 4 , the width W of the battery cell 100 can be 100 mm; alternatively, the width W of the battery cell 100 can be 160 mm; alternatively, the width W of the battery cell 100 can be 220 mm; alternatively, the width W of the battery cell 100 can be any value that satisfies the conditions, and the present disclosure does not impose any restrictions on this. Through the above-mentioned settings, the width of the battery cell 100 can be prevented from being too large, thereby improving the structural stability of the battery cell 100, and the width of the battery cell 100 can be prevented from being too small, thereby improving the energy density of the battery cell 100.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the thickness T of the battery cell 100 is 10 mm ≤ T ≤ 40 mm. For example, as shown in FIG2 , the thickness T of the battery cell 100 can be 15 mm; alternatively, the thickness T of the battery cell 100 can be 25 mm; alternatively, the thickness T of the battery cell 100 can be 35 mm; alternatively, the thickness T of the battery cell 100 can be any value that satisfies the conditions, and the present disclosure does not impose any restrictions on this. Through the above-mentioned configuration, it is possible to avoid the battery cell 100 being too thick and affecting the heat dissipation performance of the battery cell 100, and to avoid the battery cell 100 being too thin and affecting the structural stability of the battery cell 100, thereby improving the practicality of the battery cell 100.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the tabs 22 of the pole pieces 21 with opposite polarities are located on both sides of the pole core 2 in the longitudinal direction of the pole core 2. For example, as shown in FIG4 , the two ends of the pole piece 21 along the longitudinal direction of the pole core 2 can be respectively set as the first end and the second end, and the pole posts 13 can be respectively provided at the two ends of the shell assembly 1 along the longitudinal direction. The tab 22 of the positive pole piece and the cutting edge 23 of the negative pole piece are provided at one end of the pole core 2 along the longitudinal direction, and the tab 22 of the positive pole piece can be electrically connected to the pole post 13 at the corresponding end. The tab 22 of the negative pole piece and the cutting edge 23 of the positive pole piece are provided at the other end of the pole core 2 along the longitudinal direction, and the tab 22 of the negative pole piece can be electrically connected to the pole post 13 at the corresponding end. Through the above arrangement, the probability of short circuit of the battery cell 100 can be reduced, thereby improving the reliability and practicality of the battery cell 100.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the pole core 2 includes two first surfaces 24 arranged opposite to each other, and the area of ​​the first surface 24 is larger than the area of ​​the other surfaces of the pole core 2; the battery cell 100 also includes two insulating films 4, and the two insulating films 4 are respectively attached to the two first surfaces 24.

[0060] For example, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, the opposite side surfaces of the pole core 2 along the thickness direction can be set as the first surface 24, and the area of ​​the first surface 24 is larger than the area of ​​the remaining surfaces of the pole core 2. The battery cell 100 can be provided with two insulating films 4, and the insulating films 4 are configured as thermal composite films. The two insulating films 4 are respectively glued to the two first surfaces 24, and the ends of the two insulating films 4 along the width direction can be connected by an insulating member (such as an insulating connecting film), so that the insulating film 4 can surround the circumference of the pole core 2 and insulate the pole core 2 from the shell assembly 1. At the same time, the insulating film 4 can be used to be glued to the inner circumferential wall of the shell assembly 1, so that the pole core 2 can be glued inside the shell assembly 1 through the insulating film 4.

[0061] It can be understood that by gluing the insulating film 4 to the first surface 24 , the installation stability of the insulating film 4 can be improved, and the connection area between the shell assembly 1 and the pole core 2 can be increased, thereby improving the installation stability of the battery cell 100 .

[0062] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, in the width direction of the pole core 2 , the side edges 41 of the two insulating films 4 on the same side are overlapped and connected to insulate and separate the pole core 2 from the shell assembly 1 .

[0063] For example, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, the width of the insulating film 4 can be set to be larger than the width of the pole core 2, so that the two ends of the insulating film 4 along the width direction can respectively extend to the two side surfaces of the pole core 2 along the width direction. The side edges 41 of the two insulating films 4 extending to the same side surface of the pole core 2 along the width direction can be overlapped and connected, so that the two insulating films 4 can be fixed around the circumferential outer side of the pole core 2 to insulate the pole core 2 from the shell assembly 1. This helps to reduce the number of parts in the battery cell 100, reduce processing costs, and improve the insulation performance of the battery cell 100, thereby enhancing the reliability of the battery cell 100.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, in the width direction of the pole core 2 , the pole core 2 is provided with a second surface 25 opposite to the pole core 2 , and the second surface 25 is provided with an adhesive, and the adhesive has an overlapping area with each insulating film 4 .

[0065] For example, as shown in Figures 5 and 6 , the side surfaces of the electrode core 2 along the width direction can be set as the second surface 25. The two second surfaces 25 are arranged opposite each other. The side edges 41 of the insulating film 4 attached to the first surface 24 can extend to a position directly opposite the second surface 25. At least the portions of the side edges 41 of the two insulating films 4 extending to the second surface 25 do not overlap. An adhesive is provided on the second surface 25. The adhesive has an overlapping area with each insulating film 4. The adhesive can be respectively bonded to the side edges 41 of the two insulating films 4 to fix the side edges 41 of the two insulating films 4 to the second surface 25. This helps to improve the installation stability of the insulating films 4 and enhances the reliability of the battery cell 100.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the width of the pole core 2 is set to W, and the thickness of the pole core 2 is set to T; in the width direction parallel to the pole core 2, the width of the insulating film 4 is set to W2, satisfying: W+T≤W2≤W+2T.

[0067] For example, referring to Figures 5 and 6, the width of the pole core 2 can be set to W, and the thickness of the pole core 2 can be set to T. In the width direction parallel to the pole core 2, the width of the insulating film 4 can be set to W2, satisfying: W+T≤W2≤W+2T. In other words, the width W2 of the insulating film 4 can be set to be greater than or equal to the sum of the thickness T of the pole core 2 plus the width W of the pole core 2. When the insulating film 4 is attached to the first surface 24 of the pole core 2, the side 41 of the insulating film 4 can extend to the side of the pole core 2 along the width direction, and the size of the side 41 of the insulating film 4 extending to the side of the pole core 2 along the width direction is greater than or equal to 1 / 2T, so that the side 41 of the two insulating films 4 extending to the same side of the pole core 2 along the width direction are in contact or have overlapping parts, so that the side 41 of the two insulating films 4 can be overlapped and connected.

[0068] At the same time, the width W2 of the insulating film 4 can be set to be less than or equal to the sum of the thickness T of the pole core 2 plus twice the width W of the pole core 2, so that the side edge 41 of the insulating film 4 extending to the side of the pole core 2 along the width direction is less than or equal to T. This can prevent the side edge 41 of the insulating film 4 from extending onto the other first surface 24, thereby reducing the difficulty of installing the insulating film 4. This helps reduce the difficulty of installing the battery cell 100 and improves the practicality of the battery cell 100.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the shell assembly 1 includes a shell body 11 and a cover plate 12. In the length direction of the pole core 2, cover plates 12 are provided at both ends of the shell body 11 to define a receiving cavity for placing the pole core 2. Each cover plate 12 is provided with a pole column 13.

[0070] For example, as shown in FIG6 , the housing assembly 1 includes a housing body 11 and a cover plate 12 . The housing body 11 is constructed in a square cylindrical shape, with open openings formed at both ends of the housing body 11 along the length direction. Two cover plates 12 are provided, and the two cover plates 12 are respectively installed at the two open openings of the housing body 11 to close the open openings, so that the housing body 11 and the cover plate 12 define a sealed accommodating cavity, and the pole core 2 is installed in the accommodating cavity. Each cover plate 12 is provided with a pole post 13 , which passes through the cover plate 12 along the thickness direction. The pole post 13 is used to electrically connect to the pole tab 22 of the pole piece 21 of the same polarity, so that the pole core 2 can supply power to the outside. The above arrangement helps to reduce the processing difficulty of the battery cell 100 and improve the reliability of the battery cell 100.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figure 6, the battery cell 100 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure further includes: a spacer 5, the spacer 5 is located between the inner side of the cover plate 12 and the end of the pole core 2, the spacer 5 includes a support portion 51 that stops at the pole core 2, and in the width direction of the pole core 2, support portions 51 are provided on both sides of the pole ear 22.

[0072] For example, as shown in FIG6 , a battery cell 100 can be provided with a spacer 5 . The spacer 5 is made of an elastic insulating material such as rubber and is designed to conform to the opening of the housing body 11 . The spacer 5 is installed between the inner side of the cover plate 12 (i.e., the side facing the accommodating cavity) and the end of the pole core 2 . This allows the spacer 5 to insulate the cover plate 12 from the pole core 2 to prevent short circuits in the battery cell 100 . Furthermore, a support portion 51 can be formed on the side of the spacer 5 facing the pole core 2 . The support portion 51 is configured as a protruding block. The spacer 5 is provided with a support portion 51 at each end of the pole core 2 in the width direction. The two support portions 51 are located on either side of the tab 22 and are configured to support the end face of the pole core 2 . As a result, the support portion 51 can avoid the tab 22 and effectively limit the pole core 2 , thereby improving the installation stability of the pole core 2 .

[0073] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, in a width direction parallel to the pole core 2 , the width of the pole core 2 is set to W, and the support width of the support portion 51 is set to L4, satisfying: L4≤1 / 3W.

[0074] For example, as shown in Figure 4 , the width of the pole core 2 can be set to W, and the support width of the support portion 51 in a direction parallel to the width of the pole core 2 can be set to L4, satisfying the following: L4 ≤ 1 / 3W. In other words, the width of the support portion 51 can be set to be less than or equal to one-third of the width of the pole core 2, and the sum of the widths of the two support portions 51 can be less than or equal to two-thirds of the width of the pole core 2. The two support portions 51 are spaced apart and define a clearance space. The clearance space is used to avoid the tab 22 of the pole core 2, and the width of the clearance space is greater than or equal to one-third of the width of the pole core 2. This allows sufficient space to be reserved for the arrangement of the tab 22, reducing the difficulty of installing the tab 22 and improving the reliability of the battery cell 100.

[0075] The present disclosure also provides a battery device 1000 .

[0076] As shown in FIG8 , a battery device 1000 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a housing 200 and a plurality of battery cells 100 . The battery cells 100 are any of the battery cells 100 described above. The plurality of battery cells 100 are disposed in the housing 200 .

[0077] For example, a battery device 1000 can be provided with a box body 200 and a plurality of battery cells 100. The box body 200 can be constructed as a square structure. An installation cavity is formed in the box body 200. The plurality of battery cells 100 are all installed in the installation cavity. The plurality of battery cells 100 can be arranged in sequence or spaced apart. The plurality of battery cells 100 are used for synchronous charging and discharging so that the battery module can operate stably.

[0078] According to the battery device 1000 of the embodiment of the present disclosure, by limiting the distance between the first connecting surface 31 and the cutting edge 23 on the same side thereof to the above-mentioned range, it is possible to ensure that the tab 22 is in a good state after bending, so as to avoid the root of the tab 22 squeezing the cutting edge 23 of the opposite-sex pole piece 21 after bending, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the battery cell 100, and ensuring the space utilization of the battery cell 100, thereby improving the quality of the battery cell 100 and improving the reliability of the battery device 1000.
