Abstract
Description
Electrochemical devices and electrical equipment Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of energy storage technology, and in particular to an electrochemical device and an electrical appliance. Background Technology
[0002] To mitigate the risks of internal short circuits and top seal breaches caused by the movement of internal electrode components during drops in electrochemical devices such as lithium-ion batteries, double-sided adhesive tape is typically used to connect the internal electrode components to the casing. This helps to suppress the movement of the electrode components, thereby reducing the risk of failure during drops and improving the safety of the electrochemical device.
[0003] Summary of the Invention
[0004] However, the inventors of this application have discovered that the existing structure of bonding the electrode assembly to the housing with double-sided adhesive tape, although it can suppress the movement of the electrode assembly when the electrochemical device is dropped, poses a risk of tearing the foil on the outer ring of the electrode assembly, causing an internal short circuit.
[0005] In view of this, this application provides an electrochemical device designed to reduce the risk of tearing of the outer electrode plate of the electrode assembly during a drop, thereby improving the safety of the electrochemical device.
[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides an electrochemical device, comprising a housing, an electrode assembly, and an adhesive assembly. The housing includes a first sidewall, and the electrode assembly is disposed within the housing. The electrode assembly includes a first sidewall adjacent to the first sidewall, and the first sidewall includes a first region, a second region, and a third region. Along a first direction, the first region is located between the second and third regions. The adhesive assembly is located between the housing and the electrode assembly, and includes opposing first and second surfaces. The first surface is adjacent to the housing, and the second surface faces away from the housing. The first surface includes a first adhesive region bonded to the first sidewall; the second surface includes a second adhesive region bonded to the second region, a third adhesive region bonded to the third region, and a first non-adhesive region located between the second and third adhesive regions. Along a second direction, the projection of the first adhesive region overlaps with the first non-adhesive region, and the second direction is the direction in which the first sidewall and the first sidewall are opposite each other.
[0007] This application provides an adhesive component between the electrode assembly and the housing, and removes the adhesive component from the first region. The electrode assembly is then bonded to the adhesive component through the second and third regions. This not only suppresses the movement of the electrode assembly when the electrochemical device is impacted, but also allows the tensile force of the housing to be buffered by the first non-adhesive region and then transmitted to the electrode assembly through the second and third adhesive regions. This helps to reduce the risk of the outer electrode sheet of the electrode assembly tearing when the electrochemical device is impacted.
[0008] In any of the above optional embodiments, the first surface further includes a second non-adhesive region and a third non-adhesive region. Along the first direction, the first adhesive region is located between the second and third non-adhesive regions. Along the second direction, the projection of the second non-adhesive region overlaps with the second adhesive region, and the projection of the third non-adhesive region overlaps with the third adhesive region. This arrangement allows the electrochemical device to better buffer the tensile force transmitted by the casing when subjected to impact, reducing the pulling force of the adhesive components on the second and third regions of the electrode assembly, thereby reducing the risk of tearing of the outer electrode sheet of the electrode assembly.
[0009] In any of the above optional embodiments, the adhesive component includes a first single-sided adhesive, a second single-sided adhesive, and a third single-sided adhesive. The first single-sided adhesive includes a first adhesive surface and a first non-adhesive surface opposite to each other. The first adhesive surface includes a fourth adhesive region, a fifth adhesive region, and a first adhesive region located between the fourth adhesive region and the fifth adhesive region. The second single-sided adhesive includes a second adhesive surface and a second non-adhesive surface opposite to each other, and the second adhesive surface is bonded to the fourth adhesive region and the second region. The third single-sided adhesive includes a third adhesive surface and a third non-adhesive surface opposite to each other, and the third adhesive surface is bonded to the fifth adhesive region and the third region. In this way, by bonding the first single-sided adhesive, the second single-sided adhesive, and the third single-sided adhesive together, the bonding assembly can form a first bonding area, a second bonding area, a third bonding area, a first non-bonding area, a second non-bonding area, and a third non-bonding area. This has the advantages of simple operation, high efficiency, and low cost. At the same time, the bonding section between the second single-sided adhesive and the fourth bonding area of the first single-sided adhesive, and the bonding section between the third single-sided adhesive and the fifth bonding area of the first single-sided adhesive, can further buffer the tensile force of the shell through deformation, thereby further reducing the risk of tearing of the outer electrode sheet of the electrode assembly.
[0010] In any of the above optional embodiments, the adhesive component includes a first double-sided adhesive, a fourth single-sided adhesive, a fifth single-sided adhesive, and a sixth single-sided adhesive. The first double-sided adhesive includes opposing seventh and eighth adhesive surfaces; the seventh adhesive surface includes a sixth adhesive area, a seventh adhesive area, and a first adhesive area located between the sixth and seventh adhesive areas; the eighth adhesive surface includes a second adhesive area, a third adhesive area, and an eighth adhesive area located between the second and third adhesive areas. The fourth single-sided adhesive includes opposing fourth adhesive surfaces and a fourth non-adhesive surface, and the fourth adhesive surface is bonded to the sixth adhesive area; the fifth single-sided adhesive includes opposing fifth adhesive surfaces and a fifth non-adhesive surface, and the fifth adhesive surface is bonded to the seventh adhesive area; the sixth single-sided adhesive includes opposing sixth adhesive surfaces and a sixth non-adhesive surface, and the sixth adhesive surface is bonded to the eighth adhesive area. This configuration makes the fabrication method for forming the adhesive and non-adhesive areas simple to operate, efficient, and low-cost. Meanwhile, by adjusting the size and position of the fourth, fifth, and sixth single-sided adhesives, the relative sizes of the first, second, third, first, second, and third non-adhesive areas can be easily controlled, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the bonding strength between the housing and the electrode assembly, as well as the buffering capacity of the bonding components.

[0019] The above configuration enables the bonding assembly to transfer the tensile force of the housing to the third or fourth side of the electrode assembly, which helps to reduce the risk of the outer electrode sheet tearing when the electrochemical device is subjected to impact.

[0024] The above configuration increases the bonding area between the adhesive component and the electrode component, thereby improving the strength of the connection between the housing and the electrode component.

[0026] In any of the above optional embodiments, the projection of the first adhesive region covers the first non-adhesive region along the second direction.

[0063] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.
[0064] It should be noted that, in this application, the center of a region refers to the centroid of its planar shape when the region is a continuous whole. Understandably, the centroid of the planar shape can be determined by a suspension method: suspend the planar shape with a thin thread, draw a straight line vertically from the starting point of the thread, suspend the planar shape again with a different endpoint than the first time, and draw another straight line using the same method. The intersection of these two lines is the centroid of the planar shape. When the region consists of multiple discrete regions, the center of the region is the center of the smallest circumcircle containing all the discrete regions. Understandably, the smallest circumcircle is the circle with the smallest radius that contains all the discrete regions.
[0065] Understandably, when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or may have an intervening component. When a component is considered to be "placed" on another component, it can be directly placed on the other component or may have an intervening component. The terms "top," "bottom," and similar expressions used in this article are for illustrative purposes only.
[0066] The terms “first”, “second”, etc., are used only to distinguish different objects and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implying the quantity, specific order, or primary and secondary relationship of the indicated technical features.
[0067] The term "perpendicular" is used to describe the ideal state between two components. In actual production or use, two components can exist in a state that is approximately perpendicular. The two parts described as "perpendicular" do not have to be absolute straight lines or planes, but can be roughly straight lines or planes. From a macroscopic perspective, if the overall direction of extension is a straight line or plane, the component can be considered a "straight line" or "plane".
[0068] It should be understood that the dimensions and thicknesses of the components shown in the accompanying drawings are for better understanding and more convenient description, and this application is not limited to the dimensions and thicknesses shown in the accompanying drawings.
[0069] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.
[0070] Some embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0071] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. This application provides an electrochemical device 100, which includes a housing 10, an electrode assembly 20, and an adhesive assembly 30. The electrode assembly 20 is disposed within the housing 10, and the adhesive assembly 30 is disposed within the housing 10, located between the housing 10 and the electrode assembly 20, and the adhesive assembly 30 adheres to the housing 10 and the electrode assembly 20.
[0072] In some embodiments, referring to FIG3, the housing 10 includes a first sidewall 11 and a second sidewall 12 disposed opposite to each other, and the electrode assembly 20 is located between the first sidewall 11 and the second sidewall 12.

The third sidewall 13 and the fourth sidewall 14 are disposed opposite each other along a first direction X, the first sidewall 11 and the second sidewall 12 are disposed opposite each other along a second direction Y, and the fifth sidewall 15 and the sixth sidewall 16 are disposed opposite each other along a third direction Z. The first direction X is perpendicular to both the second direction Y and the third direction Z. The first sidewall 11, the second sidewall 12, the third sidewall 13, the fourth sidewall 14, the fifth sidewall 15, and the sixth sidewall 16 enclose a space for housing the electrode assembly 20.
[0074] In some embodiments, the housing 10 is an aluminum-plastic film, but the housing 10 is not limited to aluminum-plastic film.
[0075] In some embodiments, the electrode assembly 20 includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator. The positive electrode, the negative electrode, and the separator can be stacked to form a stacked structure, or the positive electrode, the negative electrode, and the separator can be stacked and then wound to form a wound structure.
[0076] In some embodiments, the positive electrode includes a positive current collector and a positive active material layer disposed on the positive current collector; the negative electrode includes a negative current collector and a negative active material layer disposed on the negative current collector.
[0077] In some embodiments, a portion of the positive current collector is provided with a positive active material layer, and a portion of the positive current collector is not provided with a positive active material layer; a portion of the negative current collector is provided with a negative active material layer, and a portion of the negative current collector is not provided with a negative active material layer.
[0078] The positive and negative current collectors can be metal layers. As an example, the positive current collector can be a metal layer including at least one of aluminum, nickel, tantalum, and titanium, such as aluminum foil. The positive active material layer includes a positive active material, which can include at least one of lithium cobalt oxide, lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide, lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide, lithium iron phosphate, lithium manganese iron phosphate, or lithium manganese oxide. The negative current collector can be a metal layer including at least one of copper, nickel, tantalum, and titanium, such as copper foil. The negative active material layer includes a negative active material, which can include at least one of graphite, hard carbon, soft carbon, silicon, silicon-oxygen materials, and silicon-carbon materials.
[0079] In some embodiments, the outermost ring of the electrode assembly 20 has a positive current collector layer without a positive active material layer, and the positive current collector is aluminum foil.
[0080] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG3, the electrode assembly 20 includes a first side surface 21 adjacent to the first sidewall 11. The first side surface 21 includes a first region 211, a second region 212 and a third region 213. Along the first direction X, the first region 211 is located between the second region 212 and the third region 213.
[0081] In some embodiments, referring to FIG3, the electrode assembly 20 further includes a second side surface 22, a third side surface 23, and a fourth side surface 24. Along the second direction Y, the first side surface 21 is disposed opposite to the second side surface 22, and the first side surface 21 is adjacent to the first sidewall 11 relative to the second side surface 22. The first side surface 21 is also disposed opposite to the first sidewall 11, while the second side surface 22 is disposed away from the first sidewall 11. The third side surface 23 and the fourth side surface 24 are disposed opposite to each other along the first direction X. When the electrode assembly 20 is a wound structure, the third side surface 23 and the fourth side surface 24 are arc-shaped sides.
[0082] In some embodiments, referring to FIG2, the electrode assembly 20 further includes a fifth side 25 and a sixth side 26, which are disposed opposite each other along a third direction Z.
[0083] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 and 2, the electrochemical device 100 further includes a tab 50 connected to the electrode assembly 20. Along the third direction Z, the tab 50 extends from the fifth side 25 or the sixth side 26 of the electrode assembly 20 out of the housing 10 to draw out the polarity of the electrode assembly 20. When the tab 50 is connected to the positive electrode of the electrode assembly 20, it is a positive tab 50; when the tab 50 is connected to the negative electrode of the electrode assembly 20, it is a negative tab 50. The tab 50 can be made of copper or aluminum, without specific limitations.
[0084] In some embodiments, referring to FIG3, the adhesive component 30 includes a first surface 31 and a second surface 32 disposed opposite to each other. The first surface 31 is adjacent to the housing 10 relative to the second surface 32, and the second surface 32 is opposite to the housing 10. The first surface 31 includes a first adhesive region 311 bonded to the first sidewall 11, and the second surface 32 includes a second adhesive region 322 bonded to the second region 212, a third adhesive region 323 bonded to the third region 213, and a first non-adhesive region 321 located between the second adhesive region 322 and the third adhesive region 323. Along the second direction Y, the projection of the first adhesive region 311 overlaps with the first non-adhesive region 321. The second direction Y is the direction in which the first sidewall 11 is opposite to the first side surface 21.
[0085] This application provides an adhesive component 30 between the electrode assembly 20 and the housing 10, and removes the adhesive component 30 from the first region 211. The electrode assembly 20 is then bonded to the adhesive component 30 through the second region 212 and the third region 213. This not only suppresses the movement of the electrode assembly 20 when the electrochemical device 100 is impacted, but also allows the tensile force of the housing 10 to be buffered by the first non-adhesive region 321 and then transmitted to the electrode assembly 20 through the second adhesive region 322 and the third adhesive region 323. This helps to reduce the risk of the outer electrode sheet of the electrode assembly 20 tearing when the electrochemical device 100 is impacted.
[0086] In some embodiments, referring to FIG3, the first surface 31 further includes a second non-adhesive region 312 and a third non-adhesive region 313. Along the first direction X, the first adhesive region 311 is located between the second non-adhesive region 312 and the third non-adhesive region 313. Along the second direction Y, the projection of the second non-adhesive region 312 overlaps with the second adhesive region 322, and the projection of the third non-adhesive region 313 overlaps with the third adhesive region 323. This arrangement allows the electrochemical device 100 to better buffer the tensile force transmitted by the housing 10 when subjected to impact, reducing the pulling force of the adhesive component 30 on the second region 212 and the third region 213 of the electrode assembly 20, thereby reducing the risk of tearing of the outer electrode sheet of the electrode assembly 20.
[0087] In some embodiments, along the second direction Y, the projection of the first non-adhesive region 321 covers the projection of the first adhesive region 311, the projection of the second non-adhesive region 312 covers the projection of the second adhesive region 322, and the projection of the third non-adhesive region 313 covers the projection of the third adhesive region 323. This arrangement prevents the adhesive assembly 30 from having any partial adhesion between both the housing 10 and the electrode assembly 20 on both sides simultaneously, which helps to better buffer the pulling force of the housing 10 on the electrode assembly 20, thereby reducing the risk of tearing of the outer electrode sheet of the electrode assembly 20.
[0088] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 3 and 4, the adhesive assembly 30 includes a first single-sided adhesive 33, a second single-sided adhesive 34, and a third single-sided adhesive 35. The first single-sided adhesive 33 includes a first adhesive surface 331 and a first non-adhesive surface 332, which are opposite each other. The first adhesive surface 331 includes a fourth adhesive region 3311, a fifth adhesive region 3312, and a first adhesive region 311 located between the fourth adhesive region 3311 and the fifth adhesive region 3312. The second single-sided adhesive 34 includes a second adhesive surface 341 and a second non-adhesive surface 342, which are opposite each other. The second adhesive surface 341 is bonded to the fourth adhesive region 3311 and the second region 212. The third single-sided adhesive 35 includes a third adhesive surface 351 and a third non-adhesive surface 352, which are opposite each other. The third adhesive surface 351 is bonded to the fifth adhesive region 3312 and the third region 213.
[0089] Understandably, the first non-adhesive surface 332 of the first single-sided adhesive 33 forms the first non-adhesive area 321; the second non-adhesive surface of the second single-sided adhesive 34 forms the second non-adhesive area 312; and the third non-adhesive surface 352 of the third single-sided adhesive 35 forms the third non-adhesive area 313. By bonding the first single-sided adhesive 33, the second single-sided adhesive 34, and the third single-sided adhesive 35 together, the bonding assembly 30 can form a first bonding area 311, a second bonding area 322, a third bonding area 323, a first non-bonding area 321, a second non-bonding area 312, and a third non-bonding area 313. This method has the advantages of simple operation, high efficiency, and low cost. At the same time, the bonding section between the second single-sided adhesive 34 and the fourth bonding area 3311 of the first single-sided adhesive 33, and the bonding section between the third single-sided adhesive 35 and the fifth bonding area 3312 of the first single-sided adhesive 33, can further buffer the tensile force of the housing 10 through deformation, thereby further reducing the risk of tearing of the outer electrode sheet of the electrode assembly 20.
[0090] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 3 and 4, along the second direction Y, the projection of the second non-adhesive region 312 overlaps with the first non-adhesive region 321, and the projection of the third non-adhesive region 313 overlaps with the first non-adhesive region 321. The overlapping areas of the projections of the second non-adhesive region 312 and the first non-adhesive region 321, and the overlapping areas of the projections of the third non-adhesive region 313 and the first non-adhesive region 321, are the non-adhesive regions on both sides of the adhesive component 30. With this configuration, the tensile force of the housing 10 is dissipated through the deformation of the aforementioned non-adhesive regions during the transmission of the tensile force from the housing 10 to the electrode assembly 20, thereby reducing the tensile force transmitted by the adhesive component 30 to the second region 212 and the third region 213, which helps to reduce the risk of tearing of the outer electrode sheet of the electrode assembly 20.
[0091] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 3 and 5, the adhesive assembly 30 includes a first double-sided adhesive 36, a fourth single-sided adhesive 37, a fifth single-sided adhesive 38, and a sixth single-sided adhesive 39. The first double-sided adhesive 36 includes opposing seventh adhesive surfaces 361 and eighth adhesive surfaces 362. The seventh adhesive surface 361 includes a sixth adhesive region 3611, a seventh adhesive region 3612, and a first adhesive region 311 located between the sixth adhesive region 3611 and the seventh adhesive region 3612. The eighth adhesive surface 362 includes a second adhesive region 322, a third adhesive region 323, and an eighth adhesive region 3621 located between the second adhesive region 322 and the third adhesive region 323. The fourth single-sided adhesive 37 includes opposing fourth adhesive surfaces 371 and fourth non-adhesive surfaces 372, with the fourth adhesive surface 371 bonded to the sixth adhesive region 3611. The fifth single-sided adhesive 38 includes a fifth adhesive surface 381 and a fifth non-adhesive surface 382, with the fifth adhesive surface 381 bonded to the seventh adhesive area 3612. The sixth single-sided adhesive 39 includes a sixth adhesive surface 391 and a sixth non-adhesive surface 392, with the sixth adhesive surface 391 bonded to the eighth adhesive area 3621.
[0092] Understandably, by setting the first double-sided adhesive 36 and the fourth single-sided adhesive 37, fifth single-sided adhesive 38, and sixth single-sided adhesive 39 bonded to the first double-sided adhesive 36, the bonding component 30 can form a first bonding area 311, a second bonding area 322, a third bonding area 323, a first non-bonding area 321, a second non-bonding area 312, and a third non-bonding area 313. This method of forming bonding and non-bonding areas has the advantages of simple operation, high efficiency, and low cost. In addition, by adjusting the size and position of the fourth single-sided adhesive 37, the fifth single-sided adhesive 38, and the sixth single-sided adhesive 39, the relative size of each bonding and non-bonding area can be easily controlled, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the bonding strength between the housing 10 and the electrode assembly 20, as well as the buffering capacity of the bonding component 30.
[0093] In some embodiments, referring to FIG5, along the second direction Y, the projection of the fourth single-sided adhesive 37 overlaps with the sixth single-sided adhesive 39, and the projection of the fifth single-sided adhesive 38 overlaps with the sixth single-sided adhesive 39. The areas where the projections of the fourth single-sided adhesive 37 and the sixth single-sided adhesive 39 overlap, as well as the areas where the fifth single-sided adhesive 38 and the sixth single-sided adhesive 39 overlap, are the non-adhesive regions on both sides of the adhesive assembly 30. With this configuration, the tensile force of the housing 10 is dissipated through the deformation of the aforementioned non-adhesive regions during the transmission of the tensile force from the housing 10 to the electrode assembly 20, thereby reducing the tensile force transmitted by the adhesive assembly 30 to the second region 212 and the third region 213, which helps to reduce the risk of tearing of the outer electrode sheet of the electrode assembly 20.
[0094] In some other embodiments, along the second direction Y, the projection of the fourth single-sided adhesive 37 does not overlap with the sixth single-sided adhesive 39, and the projection of the fifth single-sided adhesive 38 does not overlap with the sixth single-sided adhesive 39. Thus, the adhesive assembly 30 may have regions where both sides are adhesive, for example, along the second direction Y, the projection of the fourth single-sided adhesive 37 or the projection of the fifth single-sided adhesive 38 is separate from the sixth single-sided adhesive 39; alternatively, it may not have regions where both sides are adhesive, for example, along the second direction Y, the projections of the fourth single-sided adhesive 37 and the fifth single-sided adhesive 38 are respectively connected to the sixth single-sided adhesive 39.
[0095] In some embodiments, referring to FIG6, the second adhesive surface 341 of the second single-sided adhesive 34 is bonded to both the second region 212 and the third side surface 23. This arrangement enables the adhesive assembly 30 to transfer the tensile force of the housing 10 to the third side surface 23 of the electrode assembly 20, which helps to reduce the risk of tearing of the outer electrode sheet of the electrode assembly 20.
[0096] In some embodiments, referring to FIG6, the third adhesive surface 351 of the third single-sided adhesive 35 is bonded to both the third region 213 and the fourth side surface 24.

The ninth bonding region 3622 is bonded to the third side surface 23. This arrangement enables the bonding assembly 30 to transfer the tensile force of the housing 10 to the third side surface 23 of the electrode assembly 20, which helps to reduce the risk of tearing of the outer electrode sheet of the electrode assembly 20.
[0099] In some embodiments, referring to FIG7, the eighth bonding surface 362 further includes a tenth bonding region 3623, and the third bonding region 323 is located between the tenth bonding region 3623 and the eighth bonding region 3621.

[0100] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG8, the second adhesive surface 341 of the second single-sided adhesive 34 is also bonded to the second side surface 22. This arrangement increases the bonding area between the adhesive assembly 30 and the electrode assembly 20, thereby improving the strength of the connection between the housing 10 and the electrode assembly 20. At the same time, it can reduce the pulling of the housing 10 on the electrode assembly 20, which helps to reduce the risk of tearing of the outer electrode sheet of the electrode assembly 20.
[0101] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG8, the third adhesive surface 351 of the third single-sided adhesive 35 is also bonded to the second side surface 22.

[0106] Understandably, the eleventh bonding area 3313, the tenth bonding surface 412, and the twelfth bonding surface 422 together form the first bonding area 311. This arrangement is beneficial for ensuring that the first surface 31 of the bonding component 30 is fully bonded to the first sidewall 11 of the housing 10, thereby improving the strength of the connection between the bonding component 30 and the housing 10.

[0128] In some embodiments, referring to FIG15, the length of the third bonding region 323 along the third direction Z is L3, satisfying L3≥0.4L1. This reduces the risk of misalignment of the electrode assembly 20.
[0129] To verify the influence of each adhesive and non-adhesive region of the adhesive component 30 on the electrochemical device 100, the following experiment was conducted using a lithium-ion pouch battery as an example:
[0130] A lithium-ion pouch battery with a rectangular maximum projection surface is selected. The length L of the internal wound electrode assembly 20 of the lithium-ion pouch battery is 87 mm, the width W is 64 mm, and the thickness is 4.8 mm.
[0131] In Examples 1-21, the adhesive assembly 30 includes a first single-sided adhesive 33, a second single-sided adhesive 34, and a third single-sided adhesive 35. The center of the first single-sided adhesive 33 coincides with the center of the first side surface of the electrode assembly 20. The dimensional parameters of the adhesive assembly 30 are shown in Table 1 below. In Example 7, the second single-sided adhesive 34 and the third single-sided adhesive 35 are respectively bonded to the third side surface 23 and the fourth side surface 24 of the electrode assembly 20. In Examples 8-12, the second single-sided adhesive 34 and the third single-sided adhesive 35 are further bonded to the second side surface 22 of the electrode assembly 20.
[0132] In Example 22, the difference from Example 1 is that the adhesive component 30 includes a first double-sided adhesive 36 and a sixth single-sided adhesive 39. The first double-sided adhesive 36 has a length of 50 mm and a width of 52 mm, and the sixth single-sided adhesive 39 has a length of 50 mm and a width of 42 mm.
[0133] In the comparative example, a first double-sided adhesive tape 36 with a length of 50 mm and a width of 42 mm was used to bond the electrode assembly 20 to the housing 10, which is an aluminum-plastic film.
[0134] Twenty batteries from each group were used in a drop test to compare their drop pass rates. The batteries were tested in a six-sided, four-corner drop sequence, with a drop height of 1.8m. After the drops, the casing 10 was observed for damage or leakage, and the number of batteries with damaged or leaking casings was counted. If the casing 10 was not damaged or leaking, the lithium-ion pouch batteries were disassembled, and the outer electrode plates of the electrode assembly 20 were observed for tears or damage, and the number of batteries with torn or damaged outer electrode plates was counted. The casing...
[0135] If the electrode is not punctured or leaking, and the outer electrode ring is not torn or damaged, the test is considered passed; otherwise, the test is considered failed. Pass rate = Number of passes / 20 × 100%.
[0136] Table 1: Test results of changes in the dimensions of the first single-sided adhesive 33, the second single-sided adhesive 34, and the third single-sided adhesive 35, and the structure of the adhesive assembly 30.
[0137] As can be seen from the comparison of the embodiments and comparative examples in Table 1, the bonding component 30 of this application cancels the bonding with the first region 211, and bonds the electrode component 20 to the bonding component 30 through the second region 212 and the third region 213. While suppressing the movement of the electrode component 20 during battery drop, it can also buffer the tensile force of the shell 10 through the first non-bonding region 321 and then transfer it to the electrode component 20 through the second bonding region 322 and the third bonding region 323. This helps to reduce the risk of the outer electrode sheet of the electrode component 20 tearing during battery drop, thereby significantly improving the drop test pass rate and improving the safety of battery use. At the same time, as can be seen from the comparison of Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 22, the bonding section between the second single-sided adhesive 34 and the first single-sided adhesive 33, and the bonding section between the third single-sided adhesive 35 and the first single-sided adhesive 33, can further buffer the tensile force of the shell 10 through deformation, thereby further reducing the risk of the outer electrode sheet of the electrode component 20 tearing.
