The encapsulating shell of lithium ion battery
Technical field
The utility model relates to battery and makes the field, relates in particular to a kind of encapsulating shell of lithium ion battery.
Background technology
Lithium ion battery is since nineteen nineties succeeds in developing, because it has the energy height, have extended cycle life, operating voltage height, special advantages such as pollution-free, now be widely used in the electronic apparatuss such as mobile phone, digital camera, notebook computer, and progressively to electric bicycle, electric automobile, high-capacity dynamical lithium-ion battery applications such as stand-by power supply are expanded.If lithium ion battery can be divided into two kinds by the battery case packaged form, a kind of is the duricrust lithium ion battery, usually with box hat, aluminum hull and plastic housing packing; Another kind is a flexible packing lithium ion battery, usually with soft aluminum-plastic composite membrane packing.
In the lithium ion battery production process, moisture content can produce great destruction to the performance of battery, therefore battery will be carried out depth drying before battery liquid-filling, and will carry out under the condition of anhydrous and anaerobic when fluid injection, the original fluid injection of duricrust lithium ion battery, chemical synthesis technology are so as far as possible:
Fluid injection;
On the liquid injection hole rubberized fabric or high-absorbable filter paper and put cushion rubber with the sealing liquid injection hole;
Leave standstill with wetting;
Formation charging;
Steel ball seals;
Tear adhesive plaster;
Clean the vestige of residual electrolyte on the battery.
The present electrolyte filling method that adopts mainly is to keep the fluid injection aperture to carry out fluid injection on the battery cover of lithium ion battery or battery container, generally be earlier battery to be fixed on the priming device during fluid injection, insert inside battery with the liquid injection pipe that has sealing gasket by liquid injection hole then, in liquid injection pipe, inject electrolyte with the HighPower pump again, then battery and priming device being put into vacuum tank vacuumizes, allow the gas in the battery be drawn out of along liquid injection pipe, electrolyte enters in the battery simultaneously.Because the tiny bubble in the battery material slit can not discharge under the pressure of electrolyte fully, thereby causes the fluid injection difficulty, production efficiency is low, wetting effect is poor, be prone to the electrolyte ingress of air during fluid injection in addition, absorb airborne moisture content, thereby damage battery performance.
Because general fluid injection, leave standstill and change into environment and do not reach anhydrous requirement, in order to prevent that water in air part from can enter in the lithium ion battery, the negative effect that brings to battery, so lithium ion battery can not uncoveredly be placed in the air after the fluid injection, generally all on liquid injection hole, stick on a piece of adhesive tape or high-absorbable filter paper.
It is wetting to be about to begin behind the battery liquid-filling, its objective is electrolyte is uniformly distributed in pole piece and the barrier film, discharges the gas in the electrode material micropore, to improve the performance of battery.
Need special use and expensive fluid injection and wetting apparatus just can reach good fluid injection and wetting effect in the existing manufacture method.
After battery is wetting, when changing into first, lithium ion battery can form SEI film (SolidElectrolyte Interface) in negative terminal surface, and meeting produces a large amount of gases in the forming process of SEI film, and the gas that produces backs down the adhesive plaster or the high-absorbable filter paper of sealing easily, thereby make extraneous air enter into inside battery easily, every performance of badly damaged battery.
Electrolyte when changing on the other hand in the battery is easily along with the gas that produces overflows the corrosion cell shell from liquid injection hole.Hickie in order to prevent to stay after electrolyte from flowing out generally also will put a cyclic spring cushion rubber.Cushion rubber comprises when being set on the battery and the sidewall sections of battery contacts side surfaces, the upper part that contacts with battery cover, the end portion that contacts with battery bottom.This flexible rubber ring can be pressed on adhesive plaster or high-absorbable filter paper and seal liquid injection hole on the cell cover, prevents that electrolyte from spilling or moisture content enters.Have in order to prevent that further leakage or moisture content from entering, can on adhesive plaster, place square pad of a fritter and then cover cushion rubber, package the cushion rubber battery leave standstill wetting after, be placed on the charging cabinet and change into, take off cushion rubber after changing into end, seal, the adhesive plaster on the liquid injection hole of tearing then with steel ball, so still, might there be electrolyte to flow out on battery, to stay hickie, the work that also will clean or polish with alcohol, acetone etc. battery.Chinese patent 200720121914.9 has been invented a kind of cushion rubber that is used for the lithium ion battery manufacturing process, can reduce the cost of manufacture of battery production, improve the performance of battery, but this method still can not avoid battery material to touch airborne moisture content fully, electrolyte is possibility corrosion cell shell still, stays hickie.
The pernicious gas that produces when changing into is on the other hand understood some and is rested on inside battery, and this also can damage the performance of battery.02134461.2 pair of traditional manufacturing process of Chinese patent is improved, a kind of lithium ion battery opening malleation chemical synthesizing method is provided, but still can not avoid battery material to touch airborne moisture content fully, and exhaust is not thorough, so that influence the performance of battery.
Therefore make lithium ion battery with conventional method, there are the following problems: the one, and poor during fluid injection to environmental requirement height, battery liquid-filling difficulty, wetting effect; The 2nd, the gas that produces when changing into backs down the adhesive plaster that pastes on the liquid injection hole or high-absorbable filter paper etc. easily, makes extraneous air enter into inside battery, damages the performance of battery; The 3rd, the pernicious gas that produces when changing into is understood some and is rested on inside battery, damages the performance of battery; The 4th, easily along with the gas that produces overflows from liquid injection hole, the corrosion cell shell influences outward appearance to electrolyte when changing into, and needs to clean and polishing.
