Solution Overview
Problem
Existing high-capacity lithium batteries suffer from poor consistency, unstable performance, and high rejection rates due to improper connection and alignment of battery cells, leading to issues like overheating and overcharge, with separate electrolyte filling resulting in poor overall performance.
Innovation Solution
A manufacturing method involving battery cell formation and capacity grading after primary electrolyte injection, grouping cells by performance parameters, connecting them in shunt, and performing secondary electrolyte injection into a high-capacity battery pack, followed by sealing and aging.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If a number of groups of battery cells are connected in shunt to achieve high capacity, then the battery capacity increases, but the consistency among battery cells deteriorates due to performance differences
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by performing formation and capacity grading of battery cells before they are connected in shunt to form high-capacity batteries. This pre-grading process ensures that only cells with consistent performance parameters (capacity, internal resistance, voltage, self-discharge rate) are grouped together, thereby maintaining high consistency in the final high-capacity battery while achieving the desired high capacity through parallel connection.
2Quantity of substance
If battery cells are connected in shunt without proper grading, then high capacity is achieved, but performance stability deteriorates due to quality defects
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by conducting formation and comprehensive quality grading of battery cells before assembling them into high-capacity battery packs. This pre-screening process identifies and separates cells with quality defects or performance deviations, ensuring that only cells meeting strict consistency criteria are connected in shunt. This preliminary grading action guarantees both high capacity and stable performance throughout the battery's operational life.
3Ease of manufacture
If separate electrolyte filling is used in existing high-capacity lithium batteries, then manufacturing simplicity is maintained, but overall performance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the merging principle by combining the electrolyte filling operations for multiple battery cells into a single unified process. Instead of separately filling electrolyte into each individual cell, the patent designs a common electrolyte cavity that accommodates multiple battery cells, allowing one electrolyte filling operation to serve all cells simultaneously. This merging approach maintains manufacturing simplicity while ensuring consistent electrolyte distribution and improving overall battery performance.
