[0044] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present application, 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 application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0045] The battery cell 100 according to an embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 9 .

[0046] The battery cell 100 according to the embodiment of the present application includes: a housing 1 , a first battery cell 2 , and a second battery cell 3 .

[0047] As shown in Figure 4, the shell 1 is provided with a pole 11, the first battery cell 2 and the second battery cell 3 are respectively arranged in the shell 1, the first battery cell 2 is provided with a first pole tab group 21, a second pole tab group 22 and a third pole tab group 23, the second battery cell 3 is provided with a fourth pole tab group 31 and a fifth pole tab group 32, the first pole tab group 21 is electrically connected to the pole 11, one of the second pole tab group 22 and the third pole tab group 23 is electrically connected to the shell 1, the second pole tab group 22 and the fourth pole tab group 31 are electrically connected, and the third pole tab group 23 and the fifth pole tab group 32 are electrically connected.

[0048] Therefore, it is convenient to prepare the special-shaped battery cell 100 in this way, and it is beneficial to improve the utilization rate of materials, reduce the difficulty of preparing the battery cell, and thus reduce the preparation cost of the battery cell 100.

[0049] For example, as shown in FIG1 , the battery cell 100 is an irregular-shaped battery cell 100 , where “irregular-shaped” refers to other shapes excluding regular shapes such as rectangle and circle.

[0050] As shown in FIG. 2 , the battery cell 100 includes a housing 1 , a first battery cell 2 , and a second battery cell 3 .

[0051] As shown in FIG2 , the housing 1 includes a housing body 101, a first cover, and a second cover. The housing body 101 has openings at both ends. The first cover is fixedly connected to one end of the housing body 101 to seal one open end of the housing body 101. The second cover is fixedly connected to the other end of the housing body 101 to seal the other open end of the housing body 101. Thus, the periphery of the first and second covers abut and are fixed to the housing body 101 to form a receiving cavity. That is, a receiving cavity for accommodating the battery cell is formed between the housing body 101, the first cover, and the second cover.

[0052] The first cover and the second cover can be fixedly connected to the shell body 101 by welding, and the battery shell can be made of metal materials such as stainless steel, nickel alloy, chromium alloy or aluminum alloy.

[0053] The first tab group 21 includes at least one first tab, and multiple first tabs can be stacked and gathered to form the first tab group 21. It should be noted that other tab groups can also be the same as the first tab group 21, that is, other tab groups can include multiple tabs.

[0054] It should be noted that the first battery cell 2 or the second battery cell 3 can be prepared by a winding or lamination process. That is, the first battery cell 2 and the second battery cell 3 can both be prepared by winding, or the first battery cell 2 and the second battery cell 3 can both be prepared by lamination, or the first battery cell 2 is prepared by winding and the second battery cell 3 is prepared by lamination, or the first battery cell 2 is prepared by lamination and the second battery cell 3 is prepared by winding.

[0055] As shown in Figure 1, the shell 1 is constructed as an irregular structure. For example, the shell 1 is similar to two rectangles of different sizes spliced ​​together, and the accommodating cavity defined in the shell 1 includes a first part with a larger space and a second part with a smaller space. The first battery cell 2 and the second battery cell 3 are respectively arranged in the shell 1, wherein the shape of the first battery cell 2 is adapted to the first part and is located in the first part, and the shape of the second battery cell 3 is adapted to the second part and is located in the second part.

[0056] Among them, the first battery cell 2 is provided with a first pole tab group 21, a second pole tab group 22 and a third pole tab group 23, the second battery cell 3 is provided with a fourth pole tab group 31 and a fifth pole tab group 32, the second pole tab group 22 and the fourth pole tab group 31 are electrically connected, and the third pole tab group 23 and the fifth pole tab group 32 are electrically connected to electrically connect the first battery cell 2 and the second battery cell 3, so that the first battery cell 2 and the second battery cell 3 can be equivalent to one battery cell.

[0057] It should be noted that one of the first pole tab group 21, the second pole tab group 22 and the third pole tab group 23 has an opposite electrical property to the other two, one of the fourth pole tab group 31 and the fifth pole tab group 32 is a positive pole and the other is a negative pole, that is, the fourth pole tab group 31 and the fifth pole tab group 32 have opposite electrical properties, and when actually connected, the second pole tab group 22 and the fourth pole tab group 31 have opposite electrical properties, and the third pole tab group 23 and the fifth pole tab group 32 have opposite electrical properties, or the second pole tab group 22 and the fourth pole tab group 31 have the same electrical properties, and the third pole tab group 23 and the fifth pole tab group 32 have the same electrical properties.

[0058] As shown in Figures 1 and 3, a pole 11 is provided on the shell, and the pole 11 is insulated and fixedly connected to the shell 1. The first tab group 21 is electrically connected to the pole 11, and one of the second tab group 22 and the third tab group 23 is electrically connected to the shell 1 to respectively lead out the two electrodes of the first battery cell 2.

[0059] Among them, one of the second tab group 22 and the third tab group 23 can directly abut against the shell 1, thereby realizing electrical connection between one of the second tab group 22 and the third tab group 23 and the shell 1, which saves connection structure and reduces preparation cost.

[0060] It is worth noting that since the first battery cell 2 and the second battery cell 3 are of regular shape, the shape of their electrodes is also relatively neat, which can avoid die-cutting the electrodes into specific shapes, thereby improving material utilization and reducing preparation costs.

[0061] In this way, regular-shaped electrodes can be used to prepare battery cells, and regular-shaped first and second battery cells 2 and 3 can be used to prepare irregular-shaped battery cells, so there is no need to use irregular-shaped electrodes to prepare battery cells, which can reduce material waste, improve material utilization, and reduce preparation costs.

[0062] According to the battery cell 100 of the embodiment of the present application, a first battery cell 2 and a second battery cell 3 are provided, and the two battery cells are electrically connected to facilitate the preparation of a special-shaped battery cell 100. The special-shaped battery cell 100 prepared in this way can improve the utilization rate of materials, reduce the difficulty of preparing the battery cell, and thus reduce the preparation cost of the battery cell 100.

[0063] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4, the first pole tab group 21, the second pole tab group 22 and the third pole tab group 23 are located on the first side of the first battery cell 2 (such as the upper side in Figure 4), the fourth pole tab group 31 and the fifth pole tab group 32 are located on the first side of the second battery cell 3 (such as the lower side in Figure 4), and the first side of the first battery cell 2 and the first side of the second battery cell 3 are arranged opposite each other.

[0064] As a result, the first tab group 21, the second tab group 22, and the third tab group 23 and the fourth tab group 31 and the fifth tab group 32 can be located on the side of the first battery cell 2 and the second battery cell 3 facing each other, thereby shortening the distance between the second tab group 22 and the fourth tab group 31, and shortening the distance between the third tab group 23 and the fifth tab group 32.

[0065] For example, the first pole tab group 21, the second pole tab group 22 and the third pole tab group 23 are spaced apart on the upper side of the first battery cell 2, and the fourth pole tab group 31 and the fifth pole tab group 32 are spaced apart on the lower side of the second battery cell 3, wherein the fourth pole tab group 31 is located between the second pole tab group 22 and the fifth pole tab group 32, and the fifth pole tab group 32 is located between the fourth pole tab group 31 and the third pole tab group 23, that is, the first pole tab group 21, the second pole tab group 22, the third pole tab group 23, the fourth pole tab group 31 and the fifth pole tab group 32 are staggered in sequence, thereby making the structure of the battery cell 100 more compact and facilitating improved space utilization.

[0066] In this way, it is easy to reduce the difficulty of electrical connection between the second tab group 22 and the fourth tab group 31, and to reduce the difficulty of electrical connection between the third tab group 23 and the fifth tab group 32, so that the electrical connection between the first battery cell 2 and the second battery cell 3 is simpler, which is conducive to reducing assembly difficulty and improving assembly efficiency.

[0067] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG6 , a first insulating member 41 is provided between the fourth tab group 31 and the first battery cell 2 , and as shown in FIG7 , a second insulating member 42 is provided between the fifth tab group 32 and the first battery cell 2 .

[0068] Therefore, by providing a first insulating member 41 between the fourth tab group 31 and the first battery cell 2, the fourth tab group 31 is prevented from contacting the first battery cell 2, thereby preventing the battery cell 100 from short-circuiting, thereby improving the safety of the battery. And by providing a second insulating member 42 between the fifth tab group 32 and the first battery cell 2, the fifth tab group 32 is prevented from contacting the first battery cell 2, thereby preventing the battery cell 100 from short-circuiting, thereby improving the safety of the battery.

[0069] Alternatively, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7 , a second insulating member 42 is provided between the fifth tab group 32 and the first battery cell 2 to prevent the fifth tab group 32 from contacting the first battery cell 2 and causing a short circuit in the battery cell 100 , thereby improving the safety of the battery.

[0070] It is worth noting that the first insulating member 41 and the second insulating member 42 can independently be insulating tape, insulating sponge, insulating rubber, etc., which is not limited here.

[0071] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, the second tab group 22 is electrically connected to the fourth tab group 31 through the first connecting piece 51. As shown in Figure 7, the third tab group 23 is electrically connected to the fifth tab group 32 through the second connecting piece 52. One of the first connecting piece 51 and the second connecting piece 52 is electrically connected to the housing 1.

[0072] This makes it easier to connect the second tab group 22 to the fourth tab group 31, and to connect the third tab group 23 to the fifth tab group 32. One of the first connecting piece 51 and the second connecting piece 52 is electrically connected to the housing 1. For example, the first connecting piece 51 is electrically connected to the housing 1, or the second connecting piece 52 is electrically connected to the housing 1. Thus, one of the first connecting piece 51 and the second connecting piece 52 cooperates with the pole 11 to lead out the two electrodes of the first battery cell 2, respectively, thereby reducing the difficulty of leading out the two electrodes of the first battery cell 2.

[0073] In some embodiments, the first end of the second tab group 22 and the second end of the fourth tab group 31 are bent and extended in a direction away from each other, and the two ends of the first connecting piece 51 (such as the first end 511 of the first connecting piece and the second end 512 of the first connecting piece in Figure 6) are electrically connected to the first end and the second end, respectively.

[0074] Thus, the space occupied by the first end of the second tab group 22 and the second end of the fourth tab group 31 can be reduced, and the connection stability between the first connecting piece 51 and the first end and the second end can be enhanced.

[0075] Specifically, when the first connecting piece 51 is electrically connected to the first end of the second electrode tab group 22 and the second end of the fourth electrode tab group 31 , welding may be used.

[0076] During actual welding, as shown in Figure 4, since the first battery cell 2 and the second battery cell 3 are spaced apart and distributed in the length direction of the battery cell 100, and the second pole tab group 22 extends toward the second battery cell 3, and the fourth pole tab group 31 extends toward the first battery cell 2, then the two ends of the first connecting piece 51 can be welded to the first end and the second end respectively. At this time, the width direction of the first connecting piece 51 is the length direction of the battery cell 100. Then, the first battery cell 2 and the second battery cell 3 are squeezed toward each other so that the first end of the second pole tab group 22 and the second end of the fourth pole tab group 31 are bent and extended away from each other along the thickness direction of the battery cell 100 (such as the Z direction in Figure 1), so that the first connecting piece 51 is deformed, thereby reducing the space occupied by the first connecting piece 51, thereby improving the volume energy density of the battery cell 100.

[0077] In some embodiments, the third end of the third tab group 23 and the fourth end of the fifth tab group 32 are bent and extended in a direction away from each other, and the two ends of the second connecting piece 52 (such as the first end 521 of the second connecting piece and the second end 522 of the second connecting piece in Figure 7) are electrically connected to the third end and the fourth end, respectively.

[0078] Thus, the space occupied by the third end of the third tab group 23 and the fourth end of the fifth tab group 32 can be reduced, and the connection stability between the second connecting piece 52 and the third and fourth ends can be enhanced.

[0079] Specifically, welding may be used when the second connecting piece 52 is electrically connected to the third end of the third tab group 23 and the fourth end of the fifth tab group 32 .

[0080] During actual welding, as shown in Figure 4, since the first battery cell 2 and the second battery cell 3 are spaced apart and distributed in the length direction of the battery cell 100, and the third pole tab group 23 extends toward the second battery cell 3, and the fifth pole tab group 32 extends toward the first battery cell 2, then the two ends of the second connecting piece 52 can be welded to the third end and the fourth end respectively. At this time, the width direction of the second connecting piece 52 is the length direction of the battery cell 100. Then, the first battery cell 2 and the second battery cell 3 are squeezed toward each other so that the third end of the third pole tab group 23 and the fourth end of the fifth pole tab group 32 are bent and extended away from each other along the thickness direction of the battery cell 100 (such as the Z direction in Figure 1), so that the second connecting piece 52 is deformed, thereby reducing the space occupied by the second connecting piece 52, so as to improve the volume energy density of the battery cell 100.

[0081] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 8 , the housing 1 is provided with a liquid injection hole 12 for injecting liquid into the housing 1 , and the battery cell 100 further includes a sealing assembly 6 for sealing the liquid injection hole 12 .

[0082] Thus, the injection hole 12 is provided to facilitate the injection of electrolyte into the battery cell 100. After the electrolyte injection into the battery cell 100 is completed, the injection hole 12 can be sealed with the sealing assembly 6.

[0083] For example, as shown in FIG4 , the injection hole 12 can be set between the first tab group 21 and the second tab group 22 . This arrangement can avoid interference when injecting liquid into the battery cell 100 and facilitate subsequent injection. Of course, the injection hole 12 can also be set at other locations.

[0084] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG8 , the sealing assembly 6 includes a sealing plug 61 and a sealing cover 62 . The sealing plug 61 cooperates with the liquid injection hole 12 to seal the liquid injection hole 12 . The sealing cover 62 is disposed on the outer wall of the housing 1 and covers the sealing plug 61 .

[0085] Thus, after the liquid is injected, the sealing plug 61 is first inserted into the liquid injection hole 12, and then the sealing cover 62 is pressed onto the sealing plug 61, and the sealing cover 62 is fixed to the outer wall of the shell body 101 to seal the liquid injection hole 12. The sealing plug 61 and the liquid injection hole 12 can be an interference fit, and when the sealing cover 62 is pressed onto the sealing plug 61, the sealing plug 61 will be squeezed. This design can improve the sealing performance of the battery. Specifically, the sealing cover 62 and the shell body 101 can be fixedly connected by welding.

[0086] In some embodiments, the sealing plug 61 is a flexible member, and the sealing cover 62 is in contact with the sealing plug 61 .

[0087] As a result, when the sealing cover 62 is pressed onto the sealing plug 61, the sealing plug 61 will be squeezed, so that the sealing plug 61 and the injection hole 12 can be interference fit, and this design can improve the sealing performance of the battery.

[0088] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4 or FIG. 9 , the second tab group 22 is located between the first tab group 21 and the third tab group 23 , and the injection hole 12 is located between the pole 11 and the second tab group 22 .

[0089] Thus, interference during liquid injection into the battery cell 100 can be avoided, facilitating subsequent liquid injection.

[0090] According to an embodiment of the present application, the battery cell 100 includes a housing 1, a first battery cell 2 and a second battery cell 3. The first battery cell 2 is provided with a first tab group 21, a second tab group 22 and a third tab group 23. The second battery cell 3 is provided with a fourth tab group 31 and a fifth tab group 32.

[0091] As shown in FIG4 , the first tab group 21 , the second tab group 22 and the third tab group 23 are spaced apart and distributed in the width direction Y of the battery cell 100 . The fourth tab group 31 and the fifth tab group 32 are also in the width direction Y of the battery cell 100 . In the length direction X of the battery cell 100 , the projection of the fourth tab group 31 falls between the first tab group 21 and the second tab group 22 , and the projection of the fifth tab group 32 falls between the second tab group 22 and the third tab group 23 .

[0092] Among them, the first pole tab group 21 is electrically connected to the pole column 11, the second pole tab group 22 is electrically connected to the fourth pole tab group 31 through the first connecting piece 51, the third pole tab group 23 is electrically connected to the fifth pole tab group 32 through the second connecting piece 52, and one of the first connecting piece 51 and the second connecting piece 52 is electrically connected to the shell 1.

[0093] In this way, the two battery cells are electrically connected via the connecting piece. The special-shaped battery cell 100 prepared in this way can improve the utilization rate of materials, reduce the difficulty of preparing the battery cell, and thus reduce the preparation cost of the battery cell 100.

[0094] This application also proposes a battery.

[0095] The battery according to the embodiment of the present application includes: a box and a plurality of battery cells 100. The plurality of battery cells 100 are arranged in the box, and the battery cells 100 are the battery cells 100 of any of the above embodiments.

[0096] According to the battery of the embodiment of the present application, its battery cell 100 is provided with a first battery cell 2 and a second battery cell 3, and the two battery cells are electrically connected to facilitate the preparation of a special-shaped battery cell 100. The special-shaped battery cell 100 prepared in this way can improve the utilization rate of materials, reduce the difficulty of preparing the battery cell, and thus reduce the preparation cost of the battery cell 100.

[0097] The present application also proposes an electrical device.
