The power battery is used as the core of the new energy electric automobile, and the safety, the stability and the high rate of the power battery are very important for the electric automobile. Power batteries in the current market are mainly divided into square batteries, cylindrical batteries and soft package batteries.
Compared with the pouch battery and the square battery, the cylindrical battery is the battery which is commercialized at the earliest, has the highest production automation degree, and is the battery with the lowest current production cost. Currently, 18650 cylindrical lithium batteries and 21700 cylindrical lithium batteries are mainly sold in the market, and specifications of other common cylindrical lithium batteries are 14650, 17490, 18650, 21700 and 26650.

Therefore, the improvement of the safety performance of the aluminum-shell cylindrical battery is very important for the application expansion of the aluminum-shell cylindrical battery.

Therefore, the technical problem that how to guarantee the safety performance of the aluminum shell cylindrical battery and improve the heat dissipation effect of the battery is urgently needed to be solved is that higher requirements are provided for the safety performance and the heat dissipation effect of the aluminum shell cylindrical battery in the field.

On the basis of ensuring the heat dissipation effect and the temperature balance of the battery core, in order to further improve the safety of the battery in the using process, the structure of the central tube 3 is optimally designed, optionally, two ends of the central tube 3 are sealed, a shallow scratch is scratched at the sealed position of at least one end, the shallow scratch is kept closed under the condition of no pressure impact, and can be broken once pressure impact exists and a certain pressure value is reached, under the structure, the central tube 3 not only serves as a heat dissipation channel, but also can serve as a pressure release valve, after heat in the central tube 3 is accumulated, the pressure in the central tube 3 is increased along with the temperature rise, and once the pressure in the central tube 3 exceeds a critical value, the shallow scratch at the end part can be broken through the pressure in the central tube 3, so that the pressure release is finished, the damage to a winding core caused by the overlarge pressure in the central tube 3 is prevented, and the probability of further deflagration of the battery is reduced. Further optionally, phase change material is filled in the inner cavity of the central tube 3, multiple effects such as heat absorption, heat dissipation and pressure relief of the battery cell are achieved by combining the phase change material with shallow scratches at the end part of the central tube 3, when the temperature inside the battery is too high, the phase change material can absorb redundant heat, and heat absorption can be achieved while heat dissipation is achieved. When the lithium ion battery is overcharged, overdischarged, high-temperature-bearing, pricked or extruded, the temperature and the pressure inside the battery suddenly rise, the heat generated inside the battery exceeds the heat absorption limit of the phase-change material, the internal pressure sharply increases, the phase-change material is heated and decomposed, a large amount of non-combustible gas is generated in a short time, and then the pressure relief is completed by breaking the shallow scratch at one end of the central tube 3. In addition, because roll core and the inside complete separation of center tube 3, even if center tube 3 is inside to communicate with the external world, can not influence roll core structure yet, but the battery still normal use. In addition, because electrolyte can not get into center tube 3, phase change material has also been avoided phase change material and electrolyte direct contact in filling phase change material in center tube 3, prevents to take place chemical reaction between phase change material and the electrolyte, influences the work efficiency of battery. The phase-change material is filled in the central tube 3, the internal space of the central tube 3 is effectively utilized, and the balance of the internal temperature and the internal pressure of the battery cell is effectively realized while the volume of the battery cell is not remarkably improved.
