The plurality of battery cells can be electrically connected in series, in parallel, or in a mixture of series and parallel, and communicated with the battery management system to form a battery pack. The above-mentioned battery management system controls and monitors the working status of each battery cell.

[0044] The multiple battery cells in the battery pack or battery module can be mounted on a supporting structure such as a box, frame, or bracket. Electrical connections can be established between the individual battery cells and between the battery cells and the battery management system via a busbar assembly. The battery cells can be lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, or magnesium-ion batteries, and their external shapes can be cylindrical, flat, rectangular, or other, but are not limited to these. Specifically, in this embodiment, the battery cells are cylindrical lithium-ion batteries.

[0045] 1 and 2 , a battery cell 10 in a preferred embodiment of the present application includes a housing assembly 100 , a battery cell 200 and a guide post 300 .

[0046] The housing assembly 100 includes a shell 110. The shell 110 can be formed from materials such as aluminum and stainless steel, and has a receiving cavity (not shown) formed therein to accommodate the battery cell 200, the guide column 300, and other components such as the electrolyte. The outer contour of the shell 110 determines the outer contour of the battery cell 10. Since the battery cell 10 in this embodiment is a cylindrical battery, the shell 110 is cylindrical. A pole 400 is provided on the end wall of the shell 110 at one axial end to serve as a current lead-out component.

[0047] The battery cell 200 is housed in the housing cavity of the shell 110 and is the core component of the battery cell 10. Among them, the battery cell 200 is generally formed by winding a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet and a diaphragm that acts as an insulator between the negative electrode sheet and the positive electrode sheet. The battery cell 200 is cylindrical and adapts to the shape of the shell 110. Moreover, the battery cell 200 has a center hole (not marked in the figure), which is concentrically arranged with the battery cell 200 and passes through the battery cell 200 axially. The pole 400 is located at one axial end of the battery cell 200 and is axially spaced apart from the battery cell 200. Specifically, there is an axial gap between the pole 400 and the battery cell 200.

[0048] The guide post 300 is long and is inserted into the center hole. The guide post 300 is in conductive contact with the pole 400 and the battery cell 200, respectively, to serve as a conductive path between the pole 400 and the battery cell 200. The guide post 300 has a certain mechanical strength and is generally formed from a metal with high conductivity, such as copper, aluminum, or their alloys. The guide post 300 can provide support from the inside of the battery cell 200, thereby effectively preventing the inner electrode of the battery cell 200 from unwinding and expanding inward, thereby ensuring good contact between the interface of the inner electrode of the battery cell 200.

[0049] Furthermore, the battery cell 200 generates heat during charging and discharging, and the larger the diameter of the battery cell 200, the harder it is to dissipate the internal heat. The guide post 300 also acts as a heat conductor, accelerating the outward dissipation of heat generated within the battery cell 200. Therefore, the provision of the guide post 300 can also narrow the gap in heat dissipation efficiency between the inner and outer layers of the battery cell 200, thereby reducing the temperature difference between the inner and outer layers of the battery cell 200 and, to a certain extent, improving the lifespan of the battery cell 10.

[0050] The guide post 300 is provided with an axially extending telescopic section 310. This telescopic section 310 can expand and contract along the extension direction of the center hole, i.e., the axial direction. Therefore, when the battery cell 10 is subjected to external impact forces, causing the axial spacing between the battery cell 200 and the terminal 400 to change, the telescopic section 310 can adaptively expand and contract axially in response to the change in axial spacing between the battery cell 200 and the terminal 400. This reduces the strain on the weld between the terminal 400 and the guide post 300, thus preventing the weld between the terminal 400 and the guide post 300 from loosening and further improving the reliability of the battery cell 10.

[0051] In addition, the battery cell 200 will shrink in the axial direction after long-term use, causing the axial distance between the battery cell 200 and the pole 400 to increase. At this time, the telescopic section 310 can also extend axially to reduce the pulling on the welding point between the pole 400 and the guide column 300, thereby making the weld between the pole 400 and the guide column 300 less likely to loosen, further improving the service life of the battery cell 10.

[0052] In this embodiment, the telescopic section 310 is typically located in the area of ​​the guide post 300 outside the center hole, specifically, between the battery cell 200 and the pole 400. This allows the portion of the guide post 300 located within the center hole to maintain its shape even when the length of the guide post 300 changes. This prevents the guide post 300 from moving relative to the center hole of the battery cell 200 due to expansion and contraction, thereby preventing wear on the inner pole piece of the battery cell 200.

[0053] In this embodiment, the telescopic section 310 realizes expansion and contraction in the axial direction through its own deformation. Specifically, the telescopic section 310 includes at least one elastic connecting piece 311, and each elastic connecting piece 311 deviates at least partially from the line connecting the axial ends of the elastic connecting piece in the axial direction. Therefore, after the elastic connecting piece 311 is subjected to axial pressure or pulling, the elastic connecting piece 311 can stretch or bend in the axial direction to cause the telescopic section 310 to undergo elastic deformation.

[0054] Specifically, when the elastic connecting piece 311 is extended, the axial dimension of the guide column 300 increases; when the elastic connecting piece 311 is bent, the axial dimension of the guide column 300 decreases. The elastic connecting piece 311 can be formed by partially etching or milling the sidewall of the guide column 300 and can be integrally formed with the rest of the guide column 300.

[0055] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the telescopic section 310 may be obtained by replacing the material of a partial area of ​​the guide column 300 with an elastic material, or the telescopic section 310 may be configured in the form of a bellows.

[0056] In this embodiment, each elastic connecting piece 311 is arc-shaped and protrudes in a direction away from the axis of the guide column 300. The arc-shaped elastic connecting piece 311 has a smooth surface, thereby preventing damage to the battery cell 200 during assembly and use.

[0057] Obviously, the elastic connecting piece 311 can be in various shapes as long as it can be stretched and bent along the axial direction of the guide column 300 .

[0058] For example, referring to Figures 5 and 6 , in another embodiment, each elastic connecting piece 311 includes two interconnected straight segments, with the connecting portion of the two straight segments protruding in a direction away from the axis of the guide column 300. Under the action of an external force, the two straight segments can move closer or farther away from each other, thereby causing the elastic connecting piece 311 to stretch or bend.

[0059] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the guide column 300 can also be adjusted in length by being integrally telescopic. For example, the guide column 300 can be configured as a bellows. Alternatively, the guide column 300 can be configured by inserting multiple pipe segments, including a first pipe segment and a second pipe segment that can be accommodated in the first pipe segment. The axial dimension of the guide column 300 can be adjusted by relative sliding between the first and second pipe segments.

[0060] In this embodiment, a first tab (not shown) and a second tab (not shown) are provided at both ends of the battery cell 200. In this embodiment, the first tab is the positive tab and is located below the battery cell 200; the second tab is the negative tab and is located above the battery cell 200.

[0061] Furthermore, the second tab is electrically connected to the housing 110, so the axial end wall of the housing 110 with the terminal post 400 can serve as the negative electrode of the battery cell 10. Furthermore, the second tab is located on the side of the battery cell 200 facing the top cover 120, so the current transmission path between the second tab and the axial end wall is shorter, which helps reduce the negative electrode impedance of the battery cell 10.

[0062] Furthermore, the two ends of the guide column 300 are electrically connected to the pole 400 and the first pole tab respectively, so the guide column 300 can serve as a conductive path between the first pole tab and the pole 400. Since the guide column 300 is made of highly conductive metals such as copper and aluminum and has a large cross-sectional area, it has lower impedance than shell wall transmission or pole tab lead-out, thereby reducing the positive electrode impedance of the battery cell 10.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 2 again. In this embodiment, the battery cell 10 also includes a first current collecting plate 500. The first current collecting plate 500 is arranged on the side of the battery cell 200 facing away from the top cover 120 and is welded to the first tab. The end of the guide column 300 away from the top cover 120 is welded to the first current collecting plate 500.

[0064] During assembly of the battery cell 10, the guide post 300 can be welded to the first current collecting plate 500 before being inserted into the center hole of the battery cell 200. The first current collecting plate 500 increases the contact area between the guide post 300 and the first tab, thereby further reducing the positive electrode impedance. Furthermore, the first current collecting plate 500 acts as an axial limiter for the electrode tabs of the battery cell 200. Combined with the internal-outward support provided by the guide post 300, this effectively prevents the battery cell 200 from deforming due to gravity.

[0065] In this embodiment, the battery cell 10 further includes a second current collecting tray 600, which is disposed on the side of the battery cell 200 facing the top cover 120 and welded to the second electrode tab. The edge of the second current collecting tray 600 is welded to the inner wall of the housing 110. The current guide post 300 passes through the second current collecting tray 600 and is insulated from the second current collecting tray 600. The second current collecting tray 600 increases the contact area between the housing 110 and the second electrode tab and shortens the current transmission path, thereby further reducing the negative electrode impedance.

[0066] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the battery cell 10 further includes an insulating washer 700. The insulating washer 700 is sleeved over the current guide post 300 and pressed against the side of the battery cell 200 facing the top cover 120 to provide insulation between the current guide post 300 and the second current collecting plate 600. The insulating washer 700 can remain stable under the restraint of the current guide post 300, thereby ensuring the reliability of the insulation between the current guide post 300 and the second current collecting plate 600.

[0067] In this embodiment, the guide column 300 is a hollow column, and the hollow portion of the guide column 300 can be used as a liquid injection channel 320, thereby reducing the overall weight and manufacturing cost of the battery cell 10. In addition, the diameter R and radial thickness of the guide column can be designed according to the requirements of the flow capacity. Specifically, the diameter R of the guide column 300 satisfies: 3mm≤R≤10mm. The radial wall thickness W of the guide column 300 satisfies: 0.1mm≤W≤4mm. Based on this, the cross-sectional area S of the guide column 300 meets the following range: 0.942mm 2 ≤S≤78.5mm 2 The guide column 300 can be manufactured by a metal sheet winding process or by boring a metal column. It is preferred to use a winding process which is more cost-effective.

[0068] When the guide column 300 uses the above parameters, when its material is aluminum, the maximum continuous overcurrent capacity is 280A (the overall temperature rise of the aluminum column is less than 50°C), which fully meets the limit level of continuous charge and discharge of 4695 fast-charging battery cells at 6C (≈200A), and the resistance of the structural components can be reduced by more than 0.3mΩ. When its material is copper, the maximum overcurrent capacity can be increased by about 1.5 times, to about 420A. To meet continuous charge and discharge of more than 10C (approximately equal to 300A), the resistance of the structural components can be reduced by more than 0.3mΩ.

[0069] The present application also provides a battery comprising a plurality of battery cells according to any one of the above preferred embodiments. The battery also has the advantages of long service life, high reliability, low internal resistance, and good current capacity.

[0070] The present application also provides an electrical device comprising a battery cell as described in any one of the preferred embodiments above or a battery as described in the preferred embodiments above. The electrical device using the battery has the advantages of low loss, long service life, and high reliability.

[0071] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0072] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present application. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that a person of ordinary skill in the art may make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present patent application shall be determined by the appended claims.
