[0095] The battery cell in the embodiments of the present application comprises an electrode assembly and a shell, the electrode assembly is installed in the shell to protect the electrode assembly by the shell.

[0096] The electrode assembly, also known as an electrode core, is a component for storing and releasing electric energy, and is composed of a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet and a separator. The electrode assembly mainly works by moving metal ions between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet. The positive electrode sheet comprises a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode active material layer, the positive electrode active material layer is coated on the surface of the positive electrode current collector, the part of the positive electrode current collector which is not coated with the positive electrode active material layer protrudes from the part which is coated with the positive electrode active material layer, and the part which is not coated with the positive electrode active material layer serves as a positive electrode tab, or a metal conductor is welded on the positive electrode current collector and led out to serve as the positive electrode tab.

The material of the negative electrode current collector can be copper, and the negative electrode active material can be carbon or silicon, etc. The material of the separator can be PP (Polypropylene) or PE (Polyethylene), etc. The separator is an insulating film arranged between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet, and its main function is to isolate the positive electrode and the negative electrode and prevent the electrons in the battery from freely passing through to prevent short circuit, while allowing the ions in the electrolyte to freely pass between the positive electrode and the negative electrode to form a loop between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. The positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet are collectively referred to as electrode sheets. The positive electrode tab and the negative electrode tab are collectively referred to as electrode tabs. Thus, the structure of the wound electrode assembly is arranged and stacked in the order of positive electrode sheet-separator-negative electrode sheet-separator to form a composite strip, and then wound into a shape. The length of the separator of the electrode assembly is often longer than the length of the electrode sheet, so that the two ends of the separator protrude from the electrode sheet, i.e. the two ends of the composite strip of the electrode assembly are both separators, and the winding starting end and the winding ending end of the wound electrode assembly are both separators, so as to better separate the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet and improve safety.

[0097] The electrode assembly is wound by using a winding needle. The winding needle comprises two outer needles, the end of the composite strip is clamped by the two outer needles, then the outer needles are rotated to wind the composite strip on the outer needles, after winding to a certain length, the composite strip is cut off, and then the electrode assembly on the outer needles is taken off for subsequent processing steps. This structure requires that the end of the composite strip pass through the gap between the two outer needles before each electrode assembly is wound, so that the end of the composite strip can be clamped by the outer needles, and then the winding needle can be rotated for winding. The auxiliary time is long and the efficiency is low.

[0098] In view of the above, in order to solve the problem that the end of the composite tape needs to be passed through the gap between the outer needles to be clamped by the outer needles during the winding manufacturing process of the electrode assembly, the embodiments of the present application provide a winding device. By arranging a plurality of winding needles, a cutting mechanism and a feeding mechanism, and arranging a clamping structure in the groove of the winding needle, after winding the electrode assembly on one winding needle, the composite tape is cut by the cutting mechanism to form two ends, one end is continuously wound by the previous winding needle, and the other end is transported to the groove by the feeding mechanism to be clamped and fixed by the clamping structure, so as to wind the composite tape by the next winding needle. Since the composite tape is cut and directly transported to the groove of the winding needle by the feeding mechanism to be clamped by the clamping structure, the time is shorter, and the efficiency is improved.

[0099] The winding device provided by the embodiments of the present application can wind to form cylindrical electrode assemblies, flat electrode assemblies, prismatic electrode assemblies or electrode assemblies of other shapes. The electrode assemblies formed by the winding device can be used as components for electrochemical reactions in battery monomers, which can be used in electric devices using batteries as power sources or various energy storage systems using batteries as energy storage elements. The electric devices can be, but are not limited to, mobile phones, tablets, notebook computers, electric toys, electric tools, electric vehicles, electric cars, ships, spacecraft, etc. Among them, the electric toys can include fixed or mobile electric toys, such as game consoles, electric car toys, electric ship toys and electric plane toys, etc., and the spacecraft can include airplanes, rockets, space shuttles and spaceships, etc.

[0100] The following embodiments are described by taking a winding device of some embodiments of the present application for forming flat electrode assemblies as an example for convenience of description.

[0101] Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a structural schematic diagram of an electrode assembly 900 provided by some embodiments of the present application. The electrode assembly 900 is a component for electrochemical reactions in a battery monomer. The battery monomer can contain one, two or more electrode assemblies 900. The electrode assembly 900 is mainly wound by a first electrode sheet 911, a second electrode sheet 912 and a separator 92, and the separator 92 is usually arranged between the first electrode sheet 911 and the second electrode sheet 912 to insulate and separate the first electrode sheet 911 and the second electrode sheet 912. The first electrode sheet 911 and the second electrode sheet 912 have different polarities, for example, the first electrode sheet 911 can be a positive electrode sheet, and the second electrode sheet 912 is a negative electrode sheet; of course, the first electrode sheet 911 can also be a negative electrode sheet, and the second electrode sheet 912 is a positive electrode sheet.

[0102] Referring to FIGS. 2-6, according to some embodiments of the present application, a winding device 100 is provided, which includes a plurality of winding needles 11, a cutting mechanism 20, a moving mechanism 40, and a feeding mechanism 30. Each winding needle 11 has a groove 110 formed in the circumferential side thereof along the axial direction, and the groove 110 is provided with a clamping structure 112 for clamping the end of the composite strip 90. The cutting mechanism 20 is used to cut the composite strip 90; the moving mechanism 40 is used to move the plurality of winding needles 11 to the cutting mechanism 20 in sequence; and the feeding mechanism 30 is used to feed the end of the composite strip 90 into the groove 110.

[0103] Referring to FIG. 4, the length direction of the winding needle 11 is the axial direction of the winding needle 11, as indicated by the arrow X in the figure. The radial direction of the winding needle 11 is the direction perpendicular to the axial direction X of the winding needle 11.

[0104] The composite strip 90 refers to the strip used to make the electrode assembly 900. Since the electrode assembly 900 is made by winding the positive electrode sheet, the separator 92, the negative electrode sheet, and the separator 92 in layers, the composite strip 90 refers to the strip structure formed by the positive electrode sheet, the separator 92, the negative electrode sheet, and the separator 92 in layers. It can be that the positive electrode sheet, the separator 92, the negative electrode sheet, and the separator 92 are first layered to form a composite strip 90 with a relatively long length, and then the winding needle 11 is used to make the electrode assembly 900. As shown in FIG. 1, the first electrode sheet 911, the separator 92, the second electrode sheet 912, and the separator 92 are layered to form the composite strip 90. Of course, the positive electrode sheet, the separator 92, the negative electrode sheet, and the separator 92 can also be directly fed to the winding needle 11, layered to form the composite strip 90 at the winding needle 11, and then wound on the winding needle 11. It can also be that the positive electrode sheet and one separator 92 are layered to form a positive electrode intermediate strip, and the negative electrode sheet and another separator 92 are layered to form a negative electrode intermediate strip, and then the positive electrode intermediate strip and the negative electrode intermediate strip are fed to the winding needle 11. The positive electrode intermediate strip and the negative electrode intermediate strip can be layered to form the composite strip 90 at a position away from the winding needle 11 and then wound on the winding needle 11, or can be layered to form the composite strip 90 at the winding needle 11 and then wound on the winding needle 11.

[0105] The winding needle 11 refers to a long rod-shaped structure used to wind the composite strip 90 to form the wound electrode assembly 900. The winding needle 11 is usually designed to be cylindrical or a specific shape (for example, a square winding needle 11 corresponding to a square battery). The winding needle 11 can be made of metal, plastic, etc., such as epoxy board, plastic, carbon steel, manganese steel, alloy steel, tool steel, high-speed steel, etc. The axial direction X of the winding needle 11 is also the length direction of the winding needle 11, as indicated by the arrow X in FIGS. 4 and 5. The radial direction of the winding needle 11 is the direction perpendicular to the axial direction X of the winding needle 11.

[0106] The groove 110 refers to a groove-shaped structure arranged on the circumferential surface of the winding needle 11. The groove 110 is arranged along the axial direction X of the winding needle 11. Since the winding needle 11 winds the composite tape 90, the composite tape 90 is wound on the circumferential surface of the winding needle 11. At the beginning of winding, the end of the composite tape 90 needs to extend into the groove 110 to be fixed by the clamping structure 112 in the groove 110. Therefore, the groove 110 extends along the axial direction X of the winding needle 11, which can facilitate the end of the composite tape 90 to extend into the groove 110 and make the end of the composite tape 90 more flat in the groove 110, so that the diaphragm 92 and the pole piece 91 in the electrode assembly 900 formed by winding are also more flat, thereby improving the quality of the electrode assembly 900.

[0107] The clamping structure 112 refers to a structure for fixing the end of the composite tape 90 in the groove 110. The clamping structure 112 can be a structure for clamping and fixing the end of the composite tape 90 alone, or can be a structure for clamping and fixing the end of the composite tape 90 in cooperation with other structures. For example, the clamping structure 112 can abut the end of the composite tape 90 against the side wall of the groove 110 to fix the end of the composite tape 90.

[0108] The cutting mechanism 20 refers to a structure for cutting and separating the composite tape 90. Since each electrode assembly 900 is wound with a set length of the composite tape 90, when the electrode assembly 900 is wound with a set length of the composite tape 90, the composite tape 90 needs to be cut. This not only facilitates the winding of the previous electrode assembly 900 to be completed, but also allows the winding of the next electrode assembly 900 to be started. The cutting mechanism 20 can be a mechanical structure for shearing and cutting, such as a structure including a blade, scissors, etc. to cut the composite tape 90. Of course, the cutting mechanism 20 can be a structure for hot melting and cutting, such as a structure including a heating wire, a heating rod, a laser, etc. to melt and cut the composite tape 90 by heat energy.

[0109] The transfer mechanism 40 refers to a mechanism for moving a plurality of winding needles 11 so that the winding needles 11 pass through the cutting mechanism 20 in turn. By arranging a plurality of winding needles 11 and the transfer mechanism 40, at the end of the winding of the previous winding needle 11 to manufacture the electrode assembly 900, the next winding needle 11 can be moved to the cutting mechanism 20 so that the cutting mechanism 20 cuts the composite tape 90. In this way, the previous winding needle 11 can continue to wind to complete the winding, and the next winding needle 11 can be fed with the composite tape 90 by the feeding mechanism 30. After feeding, the winding needle 11 can be moved away from the cutting mechanism 20, so that the winding needle 11 winds the composite tape 90, thereby improving the efficiency of manufacturing the electrode assembly 900.

[0110] Since the end of the composite tape 90 needs to be fixed by the winding needle 11 to be well wound, and the cutting mechanism 20 will form two ends after cutting the composite tape 90, one end will be collected on the winding needle 11 with the winding of the winding needle 11, and the other end needs to be fixed by the next winding needle 11 to be wound by the winding needle 11. Therefore, the end of the composite tape 90 specifically refers to the end of the composite tape 90 that needs to be sent to the groove 110 of the winding needle 11 to be fixed by the clamping structure 112.

[0111] The feeding mechanism 30 refers to a structure for feeding the end of the composite tape 90 into the groove 110. The feeding mechanism 30 is arranged to feed the end of the composite tape 90 into the groove 110 on the winding needle 11 to feed the winding needle 11, which can improve the efficiency of feeding. In particular, through the cooperation of the feeding mechanism 30, the cutting mechanism 20, the moving mechanism 40 and the plurality of winding needles 11, after the winding needle 11 winds the composite tape 90 to a certain length, the cutting mechanism 20 cuts the composite tape 90, so that the winding needle 11 can directly wind the end without stopping; at the same time, the feeding mechanism 30 feeds the end of the composite tape 90 into the groove 110 of the next winding needle 11 to be fixed by the clamping structure 112, the moving mechanism 40 moves the next winding needle 11 away from the cutting mechanism 20, so that the next winding needle 11 winds the composite tape 90, and the moving mechanism 40 moves the new winding needle 11 to the cutting mechanism 20 to wait for feeding after the cutting mechanism 20 cuts the composite tape 90. Thus, the continuous production of the electrode assembly 900 can be realized, and the efficiency of winding production of the electrode assembly 900 is improved.

[0112] In the technical scheme of the embodiment of the application, a plurality of winding needles 11, a cutting mechanism 20 and a feeding mechanism 30 are arranged, and a clamping structure 112 is arranged in the groove 110 of the winding needle 11. After the winding needle 11 winds the electrode assembly 900, the moving mechanism 40 can move the next winding needle 11 to the cutting mechanism 20, so that after the winding needle 11 winds the composite tape 90 to a certain length, the cutting mechanism 20 can directly cut the composite tape 90 at the next winding needle 11 to make the winding needle 11 continue to wind and complete the winding of the electrode assembly 900. At the same time, the feeding mechanism 30 can feed the end of the composite tape 90 cut by the cutting mechanism 20 into the groove 110 to be clamped and fixed by the clamping structure 112, so that the next winding needle 11 can wind to produce the electrode assembly 900, thereby saving the time of passing the end of the composite tape 90 through the winding needle 11, and even realizing the cutting of the composite tape 90 and the feeding of the end of the composite tape 90 into the groove 110 without stopping the rotation of the winding needle 11, thereby improving the efficiency of winding production of the electrode assembly 900.

[0113] Please refer to FIG. 7, FIG. 8, FIG. 9 and FIG. 16, in some embodiments, the cutting mechanism 20 includes a cutting member 21, which refers to a structural member used to cut the composite strip 90. The cutting member 21 is arranged to cut the composite strip 90.

[0114] In some embodiments, the cutting member 21 is a blade 213 used to cut the composite strip 90, a heating rod 211 used to melt the composite strip 90, or a heating wire 212 used to melt the composite strip 90.

[0115] Please refer to FIG. 16, the blade 213 refers to a thin and sharp piece used for cutting or scraping, which can be a metal piece, a ceramic piece, a hard plastic piece, etc.

[0116] The cutting member 21 uses the blade 213, which is simple in structure and low in cost.

[0117] Please refer to FIG. 7, the heating rod 211 refers to a long rod-shaped electric heating device used for heating. The working principle of the heating rod 211 is to convert electrical energy into heat energy. Generally, it is internally provided with a resistance wire or other conductive material that generates heat when an electric current passes through.

[0118] Using the heating rod 211, the structure is simple, and the composite strip 90 can be conveniently melted.

[0119] Please refer to FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the heating wire 212, also known as an electric heating wire or a heating wire, is usually a wire-shaped electric heating device made of iron-chromium-aluminum, nickel-chromium, etc. When an electric current passes through, it generates heat to convert electrical energy into heat energy, thereby heating.

[0120] Using the heating wire 212, the structure is simple, the occupied volume is small, and the composite strip 90 can be conveniently melted.

[0121] In order to better wind the pole piece 91 and improve the insulation and isolation effect between the positive pole piece and the negative pole piece, the length of the separator 92 in each electrode assembly 900 is often longer than the length of the pole piece 91, so that the two ends of the separator 92 protrude out of the pole piece 91, which makes the entire length of the composite strip 90 have the separator 92, and the pole pieces 91 are arranged at intervals on the separator 92. Cutting is to cut the separator 92 between the two pole pieces 91, so that the starting and ending parts of winding are the separator 92. Using the heating rod 211 or the heating wire 212 to melt the composite strip 90 is actually using the heating rod 211 or the heating wire 212 to melt the separator 92, which is efficient and can also heat and melt the two layers of the separator 92 of the composite strip 90 together, reducing the risk of folding the separator 92 and improving the quality of manufacturing the electrode assembly 900.

[0122] Please refer to FIG. 2 to FIG. 15, in some embodiments, the feeding mechanism 30 includes a pushing structure 31 used to push the end of the composite strip 90.

[0123] The pushing structure 31 is a structure capable of actively pushing the end of the composite tape 90 into the groove 110.

[0124] Using the pushing structure 31, the end of the composite tape 90 can be actively pushed into the groove 110 of the winder 11 to better load the winder 11.

[0125] Referring to FIGS. 2-9, in some embodiments, the pushing structure 31 includes a push plate 311 for pushing the end of the composite tape 90.

[0126] The push plate 311 refers to a plate-like, strip-like or sheet-like piece for pushing the end of the composite tape 90. The push plate 311 enters and exits the groove 110 of the winder 11 to push the end of the composite tape 90 into the groove 110 of the winder 11, which is simple in structure and convenient to push.

[0127] Using the push plate 311, the end of the composite tape 90 can be forced into the groove 110 of the winder 11 to better load the winder 11, and the structure is simple and easy to manufacture.

[0128] Referring to FIGS. 3 and 9, in some embodiments, the push plate 311 is provided with a first air blowing hole 312 for blowing the end of the composite tape 90 into the groove 110.

[0129] The first air blowing hole 312 refers to a hole structure that can blow air outward. By providing the first air blowing hole 312 on the push plate 311, the push plate 311 pushes the end of the composite tape 90 into the groove 110 of the winder 11, and the first air blowing hole 312 blows the end of the composite tape 90, which not only can blow the end of the composite tape 90 flat to reduce the risk of folding the end of the composite tape 90, but also facilitates blowing the end of the composite tape 90 to the clamping structure 112 for clamping and fixing by the clamping structure 112.

[0130] By providing the first air blowing hole 312 on the push plate 311, after the composite tape 90 is cut, the end of the composite tape 90 can be better blown into the groove 110, the efficiency is improved, and the end of the composite tape 90 is kept flat to improve the quality of the wound electrode assembly 900.

[0131] In some embodiments, the pushing structure 31 includes a carrier 313 disposed outside the groove 110 of the winder 11 and used for aligning the groove 110, and the carrier 313 is provided with a second air blowing hole 314 for blowing the end of the composite tape 90 into the groove 110.

[0132] The carrier 313 refers to a structure that can be used to set the second blowing hole 314, and the carrier 313 can be a rib, a plate, a rod, etc. The second blowing hole 314 is set on the carrier 313, and the direction of the second blowing hole 314 can be adjusted through the carrier 313.

[0133] The carrier 313 is located outside the groove 110 of the winding needle 11, that is, the carrier 313 does not extend into the interior of the groove 110. This not only facilitates the passage of the composite tape 90 between the carrier 313 and the winding needle 11 to facilitate the winding of the composite tape 90 and reduce the resistance of the carrier 313 to the movement of the composite tape 90, but also allows the airflow blown out by the second blowing hole 314 to be directly blown into the groove 110 after the composite tape 90 is cut off.

[0134] After the cutting member 21 cuts off the composite tape 90, the second blowing hole 314 can directly blow the end of the composite tape 90 into the groove 110 of the winding needle 11, and the structure is simple and efficient. Moreover, the second blowing hole 314 blows the end of the composite tape 90, which not only flattens the end of the composite tape 90 and reduces the risk of folding the end of the composite tape 90, but also facilitates blowing the end of the composite tape 90 to the clamping structure 112 for clamping and fixing.

[0135] The carrier 313 is provided to set the second blowing hole 314 on the carrier 313, and the airflow output by the second blowing hole 314 blows the end of the composite tape 90 into the groove 110 when the carrier 313 is aligned with the groove 110 on the winding needle 11, thereby improving efficiency and keeping the end of the composite tape 90 flat to improve the quality of the wound electrode assembly 900.

[0139] In some embodiments, when the pushing structure 31 includes a push plate 311, the feeding driving unit 33 drives the push plate 311 to enter and exit the groove 110 of the winding needle 11 to push the end of the composite tape 90 into the groove 110 to achieve feeding.

[0143] The first rotary driving module 331 is arranged to drive the pushing structure 31 to rotate, so that when the winding needle 11 is close to the pushing structure 31, the pushing structure 31 is turned to the groove 110 of the winding needle 11, so that the end of the composite tape 90 is pushed into the groove 110 of the winding needle 11.

[0148] The first linear driving module 332 is arranged to drive the pushing structure 31 to move linearly, so that when the winding needle 11 approaches the pushing structure 31, the pushing structure 31 moves to the groove 110 of the winding needle 11 to push the end of the composite tape 90 into the groove 110 of the winding needle 11.
