发明人发现电池单体在循环使用过程中,由于重力作用会导致电解液积聚于壳体的底部,导致电解液对位于底部的电极组件的浸润较为充分,对远离底部的电极组件的浸润较差,电解液对电极组件整体的浸润性能不均一,锂离子在远离底部的电极组件中进行迁移时,可能由于缺少电解液导致锂离子无法嵌入负极极片中,从而可能在负极极片表面析出为金属锂,析锂一方面会导致电池单体在循环后期发生容量跳水,恶化循环性能,且不利于大倍率充电;另一方面析出的金属锂容易发展为锂枝晶从而可能刺破隔离件导致正极极片和负极极片短接,引发安全风险。The inventors found that during the recycling process of the battery cell, due to gravity, the electrolyte would accumulate at the bottom of the casing, resulting in sufficient wetting of the electrode assembly at the bottom by the electrolyte, and poor wetting of the electrode assembly far from the bottom. , the wettability of the electrolyte to the electrode assembly as a whole is not uniform. When lithium ions migrate in the electrode assembly away from the bottom, lithium ions may not be embedded in the negative electrode sheet due to the lack of electrolyte, which may precipitate on the surface of the negative electrode sheet as Lithium metal, on the one hand, the precipitation of lithium will cause the capacity of the battery cell to drop in the late cycle, which will deteriorate the cycle performance and is not conducive to high-rate charging; on the other hand, the precipitated metal lithium will easily develop into lithium dendrites, which may puncture the separator and cause Positive pole piece and negative pole piece are short-circuited, causing a safety risk.

在放置电池单体7时,可以认为电池单体7的高度方向X平行于竖直方向。壳体30内容纳有电解液,由于电解液不是完全填充壳体30内部空间,电解液仅占据壳体30的部分空间,故,电解液在重力作用下将流至壳体30的底部。壳体30的开口31所在平面和电池单体7的高度方向X平行,可以是绝对平行,也可以是近似平行。When placing the

如图5至图9所示,在一些实施方式中,导液结构62包括吸液端62a和出液端62b,吸液端62a顾名思义为用于吸取液体的端部,出液端62b为用于排出液体的端部。As shown in FIGS. 5 to 9 , in some embodiments, the
吸液端62a与第一弯折部11相接触,导液结构62能够吸取第一弯折部11处的电解液,促进电解液由第一弯折部11经导液结构62流至第二弯折部12。当然,吸液端62a也可以与第一弯折部11不直接接触,电解液在毛细作用下也可以向出液端62b流动。具体地,沿扁平状结构的长度方向,第一弯折部11包括彼此相对的两个第一侧面113,第一侧面113与导液结构62相接触。在本申请中,扁平状结构的长度方向与高度方向X相垂直,在图5中扁平状结构的长度方向与Z方向平行。The
出液端62b与第二弯折部12相接触且连通,第二弯折部12能够吸取位于导液结构62内的电解液,促进电解液由第一弯折部11经导液结构62继续流至第二弯折部12,位于第二弯折部12的电解液在重力作用下可能回流至第一弯折部11,如此流动有利于电解液在第一弯折部11和第二弯折部12之间的循环,能够保证电解液对电极组件10整体的浸润性能。例如,导液结构62利用毛细作用吸液,第二弯折部12与导液结构62的出液端62b直接接触能够吸取导液结构62的电解液,导液结构62内的电解液流至第二弯折部12后,将会在毛细作用下继续从第一弯折部11吸液至第二弯折部12,从而使得电解液不间断流至第二弯折部12处,对第二弯折部12进行浸润。当然,出液端62b也可以与第二弯折部12不接触,例如导液结构62的出液端62b高于第二弯折部12,在毛细作用下,导液结构62吸取的电解液经出液端62b流出,流出后的电解液能够流至第二弯折部12处。具体地,沿扁平状结构的长度方向,第二弯折部12包括彼此相对的两个第二侧面123,第二侧面123与导液结构62与相接触。The
在一些实施方式中,导液结构62可以设置为多个,多个导液结构62相继设置。多个导液结构62均用于将位于第一弯折部11的电解液引导至第二弯折部12。通过多个导液结构62的吸液,可以提高吸液效果,进一步提高电解液对第二弯折部12的浸润效果,以期望第一弯折部11和第二弯折部12的浸润效果均一,从而使得电极组件10在充放电过程中的性能均一。In some embodiments, multiple
进一步地,多个导液结构62间隔设置,可以使得多个导液结构62之间的吸液过程基本不会干涉,使得吸液过程稳定进行。当然,多个导液结构62也可以连续设置,该连续可以体现为多个导液结构62在绝缘部611上的投影连续设置,例如,导液结构62可以为中空管,多个中空管在绝缘部611上的投影连续设置,即中空管之间相互邻接,以降低空间占用率。Further, the plurality of liquid guiding
如图4、图5、图8和图9,作为本申请一具体实施例,电池单体7包括壳体30、电解液、电极组件10和端盖组件40;壳体30容纳电解液;电极组件10设置于壳体30内,沿电池单体7的高度方向X,电极组件10包括彼此相对的第一弯折部11和第二弯折部12,第二弯折部12在高度方向X上位于第一弯折部11的上方;第一弯折部11包括面向第二弯折部12的第一边缘111,第二弯折部12包括面向第一弯折部11的第二边缘121;端盖组件40包括端盖50和绝缘构件60,端盖50沿高度方向X延伸且用于盖设于壳体30以密封壳体30,绝缘构件60包括导液结构62,绝缘构件60位于端盖50和电极组件10之间,导液结构62的至少部分沿高度方向X延伸,且向下至少延伸至第一边缘111,向上至少延伸至第二边缘121,以在高度方向X上将位于第一弯折部11的电解液引流至第二弯折部12处,以将位于第一弯折部11的电解液向第二弯折部12引导。As shown in Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 8 and Fig. 9, as a specific embodiment of the present application, the
导液结构62包括导液本体621和第一延伸部622;第一延伸部622沿第一方向延伸且与第一弯折部11连通;导液本体621包括沿高度方向X延伸的连接部6211和沿第二方向延伸的第二延伸部6212,连接部6211位于第二延伸部6212和第一延伸部622之间,且连通第二延伸部6212和第一延伸部622;第二延伸部6212与第二弯折部12连通。第一方向与高度方向X垂直,第二方向与高度方向X垂直,第一方向与第二方向平行。The
第一延伸部622与第一弯折部11的第一侧面113相接触,位于第一弯折部11的电解液能够经第一延伸部622流经连接部6211,并由连接部6211流至第二延伸部6212,第二延伸部6212与第二弯折部12的第二侧面123相接触,电解液能够由第二延伸部6212流出至第二弯折部12,从而使得电解液能够对第二弯折部12进行浸润,使得电极组件10在高度方向上的浸润性能较为均一,在电池单体7循环充放电过程中,降低电池单体7发生析锂的风险,从而保证电池单体7的循环性能和安全性能。The
