[0079] Fig. 4 is a schematic view of the structure of the first insulating member 30 of a cylindrical battery 100 according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figs. 2 and 4, in one or more embodiments, the first insulating member 30 is a ring-shaped sheet 31, and the groove 111 is a ring-shaped groove, but the present application is not limited thereto. In one or more embodiments, the first region 211 is a ring-shaped first region. The ring-shaped groove presses the ring-shaped sheet 31, and the ring-shaped sheet 31 presses the ring-shaped first region. As viewed along the axis X, the ring-shaped groove has a closed ring shape, and the pressure on the electrode assembly 20 is relatively uniform. Pressing the electrode assembly 20 around the axis L0 for one turn is advantageous for improving the stability of the pressing of the electrode assembly 20 by the groove 111.

The extrusion of the ring-shaped sheet 31 makes it have a certain angle with the second plane P2 perpendicular to the axis L0, which is advantageous for improving the pressing effect of the electrode assembly 20 by the groove 111 and reducing the risk of movement of the electrode assembly 20.
[0084] In one or more embodiments, the first surface 30A is attached to the first region 211.
[0085] For more severe use conditions, α1 is extruded to a larger angle, so as to improve the compaction effect of the electrode assembly 20 in the shell 10.
[0086] In one or more embodiments, the material of the first insulating member 30 includes at least one of polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene terephthalate, or polybutylene terephthalate. The first insulating member 30 adopts the above-mentioned material, which is conducive to providing good insulation and cushioning performance.

Please refer to Figs. 2 and 4, in one or more embodiments, the outer edge 311 of the annular sheet 31 is closer to the bottom wall 12 than the inner edge 312, and the inner edge 312 of the annular sheet 31 is inclined away from the bottom wall 12. The annular sheet 31 is closely attached to the first area 211 of the electrode assembly 20, which is conducive to the recess 111 pressing against the electrode assembly 20 and reducing the risk of the electrode assembly 20 moving.
[0088] In the embodiment in which the outer edge 311 of the annular sheet 31 is closer to the bottom wall 12 than the inner edge 312, the recess 111 is pressed against the outer edge 311 of the annular sheet 31, and the overall area of the annular sheet 31 is large, which is conducive to dispersing the pressure on the electrode assembly 20 and reducing the problem of excessive concentration of pressure applied to the electrode assembly 20.
[0089] In one or more embodiments, the recess 111 is pressed against the inner edge 312 (not shown) of the annular sheet 31, and the outer edge 311 of the annular sheet 31 is farther away from the bottom wall 12 than the inner edge 312. The overall area of the annular sheet 31 is small, which is conducive to reducing the interference of the first insulating member 30 with other components inside the cylindrical battery 100 and facilitating the connection of the electrode assembly 20 and other components (such as the current collector plate).

[0093] housing
[0094] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of a partial structure of a cylindrical battery housing according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 5, in one or more embodiments, the material of the housing 10 can be metal, and correspondingly, the material of the groove 111 can also be metal. In one or more embodiments, the material of the housing 10 can be steel or aluminum, etc.
[0095] The groove 111 is made of metal, so that the groove 111 has a certain strength, and the first region 211 of the electrode assembly 20 is pressed down strongly, so that the first region 211 is stably compressed toward the bottom wall 12 compared to the second region 212, and the electrode assembly 20 is compressed between the groove 111 and the bottom wall 12, which is conducive to reducing the probability of the electrode assembly 20 moving inside the housing 10 in a bumpy environment.
[0096] In one or more embodiments, an insulating layer (not shown) is provided between the groove 111 and the electrode assembly 20, and the insulating layer is arranged on the inner surface of the groove 111, so that the groove 111 has high strength while having good insulation performance.
[0097] In one or more embodiments, the insulating layer is formed by a surface spraying process. In one or more embodiments, an AI2O3-Cr2O3 composite oxide ceramic coating is formed on the inner surface of the groove 111, and the coating has good electrical insulation performance, which is conducive to the insulation connection between the first end surface 21 and the groove 111.
[0098] The inventor realizes that, compared with large-size cylindrical batteries, the electrode assembly of a small-size cylindrical battery accounts for a small proportion of the overall weight of the cylindrical battery, and the weight of the electrode assembly is small and the inertia is also small. When the electrode assembly moves in a bumpy environment, the impact force of the electrode assembly on the internal structure of the battery housing is also small.
[0099] The inventor realizes that, for large-size batteries, the electrode assembly accounts for a large proportion of the overall weight of the cylindrical battery, and the weight of the electrode assembly is large and the inertia is also large. When the electrode assembly moves in a bumpy environment, the internal structure of the battery housing is repeatedly impacted by the electrode assembly, and compared with small-size batteries, the internal structure is more likely to fatigue and break.
[0100] In the scheme of compacting the electrode assembly 20 by the groove 111, the specific shape of the groove 111 is not specifically limited,
[0101] In combination with FIG. 2 and FIG. 5, in one or more embodiments, the groove 111 comprises a first groove side wall 112, a groove bottom wall 113 and a second groove side wall 114 connected in sequence, the first groove side wall 112 is closer to the bottom wall 12 than the second groove side wall 114. In one or more embodiments, the groove bottom wall 113 connects the first groove side wall 112 and the second groove side wall 114. In one or more embodiments, the first groove side wall 112 and the second groove side wall 114 both exert pressure on the electrode assembly 20, which is conducive to providing a more stable downward pressure structure for the electrode assembly 20.
[0102] Please refer to FIG. 5, in one or more embodiments, the first groove side wall 112 comprises a third surface 112A and a fourth surface 112B, the third surface 112A is farther away from the second groove side wall 114 than the fourth surface 112B, and the third surface 112A and the first plane P1 intersect at a second intersection line L2; the second groove side wall 114 comprises a fifth surface 114A and a sixth surface 114B, the fifth surface 114A is farther away from the first groove side wall 112 than the sixth surface 114B, and the fifth surface 114A and the first plane P1 intersect at a third intersection line L3; the included angle between the second intersection line L2 and the side wall connected with the first groove side wall 112 is α2, 60°≤α2≤70°, for example, α2 can be: 60°, 61°, 62°, 63°, 64°, 65°, 66°, 67°, 68°, 69°, 70° or a range formed by any two values therebetween. By designing the downward pressure angle of the first groove side wall 112 relative to the side wall, it is conducive to improving the compaction effect of the groove on the electrode assembly and inhibiting the movement of the electrode assembly.
[0103] In one or more embodiments, the included angle between the third intersection line L3 and the side wall connected with the second groove side wall 114 is α3, 85°≤α3≤100°, for example, α3 can be: 85°, 86°, 87°, 88°, 89°, 90°, 91°, 92°, 93°, 94°, 95°, 96°, 97°, 98°, 99°, 100° or a range formed by any two values therebetween. By designing the downward pressure angle of the second groove side wall 114 relative to the side wall, it is conducive to improving the compaction effect of the groove on the electrode assembly and inhibiting the movement of the electrode assembly.
[0104] Measurement steps of α2 and α3:
[0105] The cylindrical battery 100 is scanned by industrial CT (Zeiss Xradia 620 Versa), displayed in the form of a three-dimensional image, and the cross section is made in the first plane P1, the angle between the second intersection line L2 and the side wall connected with the first groove side wall 112 is measured, the cross section is randomly made in the plane containing the axis L0 along the circumference of the cylindrical battery 100, the angle between the second intersection line L2 and the side wall connected with the first groove side wall 112 is measured, 10 measurement values are obtained, and the average value is taken as a2.
[0106] The testing method of the angle a3 between the third intersection line L3 and the side wall connected with the second groove side wall 114 is the same as a2, which will not be described here.
[0107] In one or more embodiments, the groove 111 is a closed annular, for example, the groove 111 includes an annular groove arranged around the side wall 11. Correspondingly, the first region 211 is an annular region.
[0108] In one or more embodiments, the groove 111 is at least two (not shown), for example, at least two grooves 111 are distributed around the side wall 11. Correspondingly, the first region 211 includes a plurality of sub-regions spaced around the axis L0.
[0109] Please refer to FIG. 5, in one or more embodiments, the shell 10 further includes a top wall 14, which is formed by inwardly folding the side wall 11, in one or more embodiments, the top wall 14 presses the groove 111 in the axial direction X, forming a pressing force on the groove 111, so that the groove 111 extrudes the first region 211 of the electrode assembly 20, further improving the structural stability of the groove 111, and being beneficial to reduce the risk of electrode assembly 20 movement.
[0110] The measurement steps of D1 are as follows:
[0111] Please refer to FIG. 5, in the first plane P1 containing the axis L0, the groove 111 includes a fifth end 111a close to the axis L0, and the internal components such as the electrode assembly 20 in the shell 10 are taken out.
[0112] Around the axis L0 of the shell 10, 10 different first planes are uniformly taken, the distance from the fifth end 111a to the outer surface of the side wall 11 is measured along the radial direction Y of the cylindrical battery 100 by using a vernier caliper, 10 measurement values are obtained, and the average value is taken as the depth D1 of the groove 111.
[0113] In one or more embodiments, 2mm≤D1≤4mm, for example, D1 can be: 2mm, 2.1mm, 2.2mm, 2.3mm, 2.4mm, 2.5mm, 2.6mm, 2.7mm, 2.8mm, 2.9mm, 3mm, 3.1mm, 3.2mm, 3.3mm, 3.4mm, 3.5mm, 3.6mm, 3.7mm, 3.8mm, 3.9mm, 4mm or any two values in between, which is beneficial to improve the compaction effect of the groove 111 on the electrode assembly 20 and suppress the movement of the electrode assembly 20.
[0114] In this application, the width of the annular piece 31 is D2 along the radial direction Y of the cylindrical battery 100.
[0115] The measurement steps for D2 are as follows:
[0116] An annular piece 31 is removed from the casing 10 of the cylindrical battery 100 and flattened. In the flattened state (not shown), the outer edge 311 and inner edge 312 of the annular piece 31 are approximately in the same plane. Using a Keyence IM 8000 tester, 20 points are evenly selected around the outer edge 311 of the flattened annular piece 31. A center is fitted to these 20 points. The center is then connected to each of the 20 points on the outer edge 311, forming 20 lines. These 20 lines are extended to intersect the inner edge 312 of the flattened annular piece at 20 points. The widths of the intersection points of the outer edge 311 and the inner edge 312 along these 20 lines are measured, and the average value is taken to obtain the width D2 of the annular piece 31.
[0117] In one or more embodiments, 2≤D2 / D1≤3. For example, D2 / D1 can be 2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 3 or any two values in between. This helps to distribute the pressure on the electrode assembly 20 and reduce the problem of excessively concentrated pressure on the electrode assembly 20.
[0118] In one or more embodiments, 4≤D2≤10. For example, D2 can be 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 or any two values in between. This helps to distribute the pressure on the electrode assembly 20 and reduce the problem of excessively concentrated pressure on the electrode assembly 20.
[0119] Electrode assembly
[0120] In one or more embodiments, the electrode assembly 20 employs a multi-tab wound structure (not shown). The multi-tab wound structure includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and a diaphragm.
[0121] The first electrode, separator, and second electrode are stacked sequentially and wound together. The first electrode includes a first current collector and a first active coating. The first current collector includes a first coating area and a first empty foil area. The first active coating is disposed in the first coating area. In the winding structure, the portion of the first empty foil area away from the first coating area is flattened to form a first flattened area. The first flattened area serves as the first multi-tab electrode, and the first multi-tab electrode forms a first end face 21 away from the bottom wall 12. Normally, the first multi-tab electrode is in a fluffy state. When the cylindrical battery 100 is in a vibrating environment, the first multi-tab electrode will gradually be compacted from a fluffy state, thus reducing its thickness. This makes the electrode assembly 20 prone to movement within the housing 10 after repeated bumping. In this example, the first region 211 corresponding to the first multi-tab electrode is compacted. Therefore, when the cylindrical battery 100 is in a bumpy environment, it helps to improve the stability of the electrode assembly 20 within the housing 10.
[0122] In one or more embodiments, the second electrode includes a second current collector and a second active coating. The second current collector includes a second coating area and a second empty foil area. The second active coating is disposed in the second coating area. The portion of the second empty foil area away from the second coating area is flattened to form a second flattened area. The second flattened area serves as a second multi-tab electrode. The arrangement of the multi-tab electrode is beneficial to reducing the internal resistance of the cylindrical battery 100.
