Example embodiments of the present disclosure provide a prismatic battery, as shown with reference to fig. 1-9, that may include a battery case 1 and a cell stack 2; the battery case 1 is provided as a prismatic body; the battery cell group 2 is arranged in the battery shell 1, the battery cell group 2 can comprise at least two battery cells 21, the battery cells 21 are arranged into cylinders, and two adjacent battery cells 21 in the battery cell group 2 are arranged side by side.
According to the prismatic battery disclosed by the disclosure, on one hand, the battery shell 1 is arranged into the prismatic body, after the prismatic batteries are grouped, the adjacent prismatic batteries can be tightly attached, and the space utilization rate of the battery pack is improved. On the other hand, the battery cell 21 is arranged as a cylinder, and the expansion of the battery cell 21 is uniform; therefore, the extrusion force of the battery cell 21 to the battery shell 1 is also relatively uniform, and the expansion force generated by heating of the battery cell 21 can be counteracted from multiple directions, so that the probability of expansion of the battery cell 21 can be reduced, the probability of expansion of the whole prismatic battery can be reduced, and the risk of thermal runaway caused by battery expansion deformation due to serious large-area expansion of the traditional square-shell battery is avoided. On the other hand, at least two electric cores 21 are arranged in the battery shell 1, and the at least two electric cores 21 are connected in series or in parallel in the battery shell 1, so that not only parts such as a part of current collecting disc, lower plastic and the like in the prismatic battery can be omitted, but also parts such as a part of bus bars, connecting pieces and the like for connecting the prismatic battery can be omitted, and therefore, the cost can be reduced; moreover, the space occupied by these components is reduced, thereby improving the space utilization inside the prismatic battery and the space utilization of the battery pack.
In the present exemplary embodiment, the prismatic battery may include the battery case 1, and the battery case 1 may be provided as a prismatic body, that is, the battery case 1 may include two end plates 11 disposed opposite to each other, the two end plates 11 being a top plate 111 and a bottom plate 112, respectively, the top plate 111 and the bottom plate 112 each being provided as a polygon, and a plurality of side plates 12 being connected between the top plate 111 and the bottom plate 112. Side plates 12, top plate 111 and bottom plate 112 surround the receiving cavities that form prismatic cells.
Specifically, the battery case 1 may be provided in a rectangular parallelepiped shape, the top plate 111 and the bottom plate 112 are each provided in a rectangular shape, the side plates 12 are provided in four, and two side plates 12 provided opposite to each other are identical. In this case, the battery cell group 2 may include two battery cells 21.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the battery case 1 may be provided as a regular triangular prism, the top plate 111 and the bottom plate 112 are each provided as regular triangles, the side plates 12 are provided in three, the side plates 12 are provided as rectangles, and the three side plates 12 are identical.

In this case, the battery cell group 2 may include four battery cells 21.
Referring to fig. 3, the battery case 1 may be provided as a right triangular prism, the top plate 111 and the bottom plate 112 are each provided as right triangles, the side plates 12 are provided in three, and the side plates 12 are provided as rectangles. In this case, the battery cell group 2 may include two battery cells 21.
Of course, the foregoing merely exemplifies several structures of the battery case 1, and the battery case 1 may be other various prisms, which are not described herein.
The battery shell 1 is set to be a prism, after the prismatic batteries are grouped, adjacent prismatic batteries can be tightly attached, and the space utilization rate of the battery pack is improved.
In the present exemplary embodiment, referring to fig. 1 and 2, the battery case 1 is provided with the battery cell group 2, and the battery cell group 2 includes at least two battery cells 21, that is, the battery cell group 2 may include two battery cells 21, three battery cells 21, four battery cells 21 or more battery cells 21, and so on, and the matching relationship between the structure of the battery case 1 and the number of battery cells 21 has been illustrated, which is not described herein.
The cells 21 are configured as cylinders, and the diameters of at least two cells 21 may be the same, but the diameters of at least two cells 21 may also be different. When the battery cell 21 heats and expands, expansion force is generated at all positions of the cylindrical surface of the battery cell 21, and the expansion is uniform; therefore, the extrusion force of the battery cell 21 to the side plate 12 of the battery shell 1 is also relatively uniform, and the expansion force generated by the heating of the battery cell 21 can be counteracted from multiple directions, so that the probability of the expansion of the battery cell 21 can be reduced, the probability of the expansion of the whole prismatic battery can be reduced, and the risk of thermal runaway caused by the expansion deformation of the battery due to serious large-surface expansion of the traditional square-shell battery is avoided.
In addition, at least two electric cores 21 are arranged in the battery shell 1, and at least two electric cores 21 are connected in series or in parallel in the battery shell 1, so that not only parts such as a part of current collecting disc and lower plastic in the prismatic battery can be omitted, but also parts such as a part of bus bar and an adapter 3 used for connecting the prismatic battery can be omitted, and therefore, the cost can be reduced; moreover, the space occupied by these components is reduced, thereby improving the space utilization inside the prismatic battery and the space utilization of the battery pack.
Adjacent two cells 21 in the cell group 2 are arranged side by side, i.e. the adjacent two cells 21 in the cell group 2 are arranged on a straight line which is parallel to the end plate 11 of the battery housing 1. It can also be said that at least two cells 21 in one cell group 2 are arranged to form a layer, instead of at least two cells 21 in one cell group 2 being stacked.
The cell 21 has two opposite end faces, which are a first end face and a second end face, respectively, and the end face of the cell 21 is parallel to the end plate 11 of the battery case 1. The first end faces and the second end faces of at least two cells 21 in one cell group 2 are coplanar. I.e. the height of at least two cells 21 in one cell group 2 in the third direction is the same. Of course, in other example embodiments of the present disclosure, the heights of at least two cells 21 in one cell group 2 in the third direction may be different.
Furthermore, the ratio of the total volume of at least two cells 21 in one cell group 2 to the volume of the battery case 1 is 80% or more. In the case of a typical cylindrical battery in which one cell 21 is provided in the battery case 1, the ratio of the volume of the cell 21 to the volume of the battery case 1 is about 75%.
The ratio of the total area of the end surfaces of at least two cells 21 of the cell group 2 to the area of the end surface of the battery case 1 is 60% or more and 99% or less. That is, the ratio of the total area of the first end face or the second end face of at least two cells 21 to the area of the top plate 111 or the bottom plate 112 of the battery case 1 is 60% or more and 99% or less. For example, the above ratio may be 63%, 67%, 72%, 77%, 81%, 86%, 90%, 92%, 97%, etc. If the ratio is too large, the gap between two adjacent battery cells 21 is too small, so that the swelling space of the battery cells 21 is insufficient and heat dissipation is difficult to realize, and the safety risk is further caused; if the ratio is too small, the gap between the adjacent two cells 21 is too large, resulting in low utilization of the internal space of the prismatic battery.
In the case where the cell group 2 includes two cells 21, the line of orthographic projection of the center points of the end faces of the two cells 21 on the first reference plane is a line segment, and orthographic projection of the center point of the end plate 11 on the first reference plane is located on the line segment formed by the line of orthographic projection of the center points of the end faces of the two cells 21 on the first reference plane. The first reference surface is parallel to the end surface.
Referring to fig. 2, the orthographic projection of the center point of the end plate 11 on the first reference plane coincides with the center point of the pattern surrounded by the orthographic projections of the center points of the end surfaces of the at least two cells 21 on the first reference plane.
Specifically, for example, in the case where the cell group 2 includes three cells 21, a pattern surrounded by orthographic projections of the center points B of the end surfaces of the three cells 21 on the first reference surface is a triangle, and in the case where the diameters of the three cells 21 are the same, the triangle is a regular triangle, and orthographic projections of the center points a of the end plates 11 on the first reference surface coincide with the center points B' of the regular triangle surrounded by orthographic projections of the center points B of the end surfaces of the three cells 21 on the first reference surface.
In the case where the cell group 2 includes four cells 21, a figure surrounded by orthographic projections of the center points B of the end faces of the four cells 21 on the first reference surface is a quadrangle, and in the case where the diameters of the four cells 21 are the same, the quadrangle is a square or a diamond, and orthographic projections of the center points a of the end plates 11 on the first reference surface coincide with the center points B' of the square or the diamond surrounded by orthographic projections of the center points B of the end faces of the four cells 21 on the first reference surface.
The main weight of the prismatic battery is in the electric core 21 and the electrolyte, and the electrolyte is liquid and fills the accommodating cavity of the battery shell 1, so that the gravity center of the prismatic battery is determined by the electric core 21, and the arrangement is such that the gravity center of the whole prismatic battery is basically coincident with the gravity center of the battery shell 1, and the installation and the transportation are convenient.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, at least two cells 21 may be connected in parallel.
The battery cell 21 may include a body portion 211, and the body portion 211 may include a positive electrode tab and a negative electrode tab (not shown in the drawings), and a separator disposed between the positive electrode tab and the negative electrode tab.

The cell 21 may further include a first positive tab 212 and a first negative tab 213. The first positive tab 212 is connected to the positive plate and is disposed on a side of the first end surface facing away from the main body 211, and may be a portion of the positive plate extending to protrude from the main body 211 and being bent to a side of the first end surface facing away from the main body 211 to form the first positive tab 212; in this case, the first positive tab 212 may cover the first end surface entirely or may cover a part of the first end surface.
The first negative electrode tab 213 is connected to the negative electrode sheet and is disposed on a side of the second end surface facing away from the body 211, and may be a portion of the negative electrode sheet extending and protruding from the body 211, and bent to a side of the second end surface facing away from the body 211 to form the first negative electrode tab 213; in this case, the first negative electrode tab 213 may cover the second end surface entirely or may cover a part of the second end surface.
The first positive lugs 212 of all the cells 21 of one cell group 2 are arranged close to the top plate 111, and the adaptor 3 is connected with the first positive lugs 212 of all the cells 21 of one cell group 2, so that the parallel connection of all the cells 21 of one cell group 2 is realized.

Of course, the adapter 3 may be disposed between the first negative electrode tabs 213 of all the cells 21 of the one cell group 2 and the bottom plate 112, and the first negative electrode tabs 213 of all the cells 21 of the one cell group 2 are electrically connected to the bottom plate 112 through the adapter 3, and the bottom plate 112 serves as a negative electrode of the prismatic battery.
Referring to fig. 5, a second through hole may be formed in the bottom plate 112 of the battery case 1, and the prismatic battery may further include a negative electrode post 5, the negative electrode post 5 penetrating through the second through hole, and the negative electrode post 5 may be connected with the adapter 3 connected to the first negative electrode tab 213 to form a negative electrode of the prismatic battery.
Moreover, the adaptor 3 is arranged into an integral structure, so that the intensity of the adaptor 3 is higher, the connection intensity of the adaptor 3 and the battery cell 21 can be ensured, and the battery cell 21 and the adaptor 3 are prevented from being separated in the use process. Specifically, referring to fig. 2 and 3, the adapter 3 may be provided in a plate shape identical to the shape of the top plate 111; referring to fig. 6, the adaptor 3 may further include a plurality of connection bars 31, one ends of the plurality of connection bars 31 being integrally connected, and the opposite ends of the plurality of connection bars 31 extending in the radial direction of the prismatic battery and being connected to the first positive tab 212 or the first negative tab 213 of the battery cell 21. Of course, the adaptor 3 may be configured in other structures according to different arrangement manners of the battery cells 21, which will not be described herein.
Referring to fig. 7, at least two cells 21 may also be connected in series.
Specifically, a part of the battery cells 21 in at least two battery cells 21 may be inverted, that is, the first negative electrode lugs 213 of a part of the battery cells 21 are all disposed near the bottom plate 112, and the first positive electrode lugs 212 of another part of the battery cells 21 are all disposed near the bottom plate 112; the first negative electrode lugs 213 and the first positive electrode lugs 212 of the two battery cells 21 are connected through the adapter 3; for example, the series connection of two cells 21 can be realized by one adapter 3, the series connection of three cells 21 can be realized by two adapters 3, and the series connection of four cells 21 can be realized by three adapters 3. The number of the adapters 3 may be determined according to the number of the battery cells 21, which will not be described.
In this case, the adapter 3 may be provided in a strip shape.
A first through hole may be provided on the top plate 111 of the battery case 1, and the prismatic battery may further include a positive electrode post 4, where the positive electrode post 4 penetrates through the first through hole, and the positive electrode post 4 may be connected with a first positive electrode tab 212 of the electric core 21 that is not connected with the adapter 3 to form a positive electrode of the prismatic battery.

A second through hole may be further provided on the bottom plate 112 of the battery case 1, and the prismatic battery may further include a negative electrode post 5, where the negative electrode post 5 penetrates through the second through hole, and the negative electrode post 5 may be connected with the first negative electrode tab 213 of the electric core 21, which is not connected with the adapter 3, to form a negative electrode of the prismatic battery.
Note that, depending on the number of the cells 21, the positive electrode tab 4 and the negative electrode tab 5 may be provided on the same side of the battery case 1, and for example, as shown in fig. 7, when the number of the cells 21 is two, the positive electrode tab 4 and the negative electrode tab 5 may be provided on the same side of the battery case 1. In general, when the number of the battery cells 21 is an odd number, the positive electrode post 4 and the negative electrode post 5 are provided on opposite sides of the battery case 1, and when the number of the battery cells 21 is an even number, the positive electrode post 4 and the negative electrode post 5 are provided on the same side of the battery case 1.
Referring to fig. 8, the first positive tab 212 and the first negative tab 213 may be disposed at the same end of the body portion 211. The first positive tab 212 is connected to the positive plate and is disposed on a side of the first end surface facing away from the body 211, and may be a portion of the positive plate extending to protrude from the body 211 and bent to a side of the first end surface facing away from the body 211 to form the first positive tab 212.

In this case, since the first negative electrode tab 213 and the first positive electrode tab 212 are both provided on the first end face of the battery cell 21, the first positive electrode tab 212 covers a part of the first end face, and the first negative electrode tab 213 covers another part of the first end face; the first negative electrode tab 213 and the first positive electrode tab 212 are insulated from each other, and the insulation between the first negative electrode tab 213 and the first positive electrode tab 212 may be achieved by providing an insulating member between the first negative electrode tab 213 and the first positive electrode tab 212, or the insulation between the first negative electrode tab 213 and the first positive electrode tab 212 may be achieved by providing the first negative electrode tab 213 and the first positive electrode tab 212 at a distance from each other.

The negative electrode post 5 penetrates through the second through hole, and the negative electrode post 5 can be connected with the first negative electrode lug 213 of the electric core 21 which is not connected with the adapter 3 to form a negative electrode of the prismatic battery.

The structure of at least two groups of electric core groups 2 can be the same, electric cores 21 in the electric core groups 2 can be connected in parallel, and then the electric core groups 2 are connected in series; the cells 21 in the cell groups 2 may be connected in series, and then the cell groups 2 may be connected in series or in parallel.
It is also possible that the cells 21 in the cell group 2 are not connected, but the cells 21 located on the same central axis are connected in series to form a series cell assembly, and then the series cell assemblies are connected in parallel.
Based on the same inventive concept, the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure provide a battery pack, which may include a battery case and a first prismatic battery 100, as shown with reference to fig. 10; the first prismatic battery 100 is the prismatic battery according to any of the above, and the first prismatic battery 100 is provided in at least two.
