Description

Battery shell, battery and electric equipment
Technical Field
The utility model belongs to the technical field of batteries, and particularly relates to a battery shell, a battery and electric equipment.
Background
Batteries are one of the important carriers of energy sources at present, and with the increasing use direction, miniaturization and high-energy batteries become a trend of development.
As the demand for battery capacity in life increases, energy density becomes one of the factors restricting the development thereof. The capacity of the current high-end graphite anode material is exerted at 360mAh/g, the energy density of the matched anode material can only be 260Wh/Kg, and the design limit is about 280 Wh/Kg. Increasing the negative electrode capacity is an effective means of increasing the battery energy density, and therefore silicon-based negative electrodes with high gram capacity are an effective option.
The silicon-based negative electrode has high gram capacity, but as the alloying degree of lithium ions and silicon is deepened, the volume expansion of the silicon-based material is rapidly increased, the volume expansion of the conventional silicon oxide material can reach 180 percent, the volume expansion of the silicon material can reach 300 percent, and the volume expansion brings great challenges to the strength of the material, the electrode plate design and the cell design.
In the battery, because the volume change of the pole piece after charging is considered, a certain gap is specially designed and reserved when the battery core is assembled into the shell, so that a space is reserved for the volume change during full charging, and the situation that the battery shell deforms due to expansion of the pole piece and the battery core is ultra-thick is avoided.
For a silicon-based material system, because of the large volume expansion, a larger space is reserved for full charge expansion of the pole piece in the design of the battery cell, and the pole piece is free to expand and uneven stress can occur, so that the negative pole piece is wrinkled, and adverse phenomena such as black spots, lithium precipitation and the like occur in the later charging process.
Patent application 2020114020595 discloses a battery housing comprising an outer shell; an inner shell disposed within the outer shell, an expansion space being formed between the outer shell and the inner shell; the expansion device comprises an outer shell and an inner shell, wherein at least one of the outer shell and the inner shell is provided with a limiting groove and/or a template, the outer shell is connected with the inner shell in a clamping mode, and a buffer frame is arranged in the expansion space. The technical problem solved by the method is that the expansion of the battery shell can not solve the problem of pole piece expansion wrinkling; meanwhile, an integral inner shell structure is adopted, so that the cost is high, and the heat dissipation is not facilitated; and the end of the inner shell structure is directly connected with the outer shell, and the expansion of the inner shell directly affects the outer shell, so that the risk of deformation of the outer shell still exists.
In the prior art, the technical means for solving the problem of cell expansion is adopted by the elastic piece, but when the cell is extruded by the pole piece expansion, the acting surface of the elastic piece is an arc surface, so that the middle of the pole piece has small force, and the two sides are stressed greatly, so that the uneven stress of the pole piece is caused, and the uniformity of the internal stress caused by the pole piece expansion cannot be ensured.

In general, a certain gap is specially designed and reserved when the battery cell is assembled into the shell, so that a space is reserved for volume change during full charge, and deformation of the battery shell due to expansion of the pole piece is avoided.

Detailed Description
The present utility model will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific examples, which are not intended to be limiting, so that those skilled in the art will better understand the utility model and practice it.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the battery shell of the utility model is provided with a limiting device on the shell 4, which is used for providing acting force for the battery cell so as to limit the expansion of the pole piece. The housing 4 comprises side plates and a bottom plate (not shown), the side plates comprise a first side plate 4.1 opposite to the largest side of the battery cell and a second side plate 4.2 connected with the first side plate 4.1; the two limiting devices are respectively arranged on the inner sides of the two first side plates 4.1 and comprise a stress plate 3 and a limiting plate 2, and the limiting plate 2 is welded or bonded between the first side plates 4.1 and the second side plates 4.2 with the shell 4 to form a triangular support stable structure.
The secondary battery employing the battery case further includes a battery cell 1, a top cap fitting (not shown), and an electrolyte. The battery cell 1 is specially designed to leave a certain gap when being assembled into the shell, so that a space is reserved for volume change during full charge, and the deformation of the shell due to expansion of the pole piece is avoided. The stress plate 3 is parallel to the first side plate 4.1, is arranged between the battery cell 1 and the first side plate 4.1, and is attached to the battery cell 1. When the pole piece expands, the electric core 1 extrudes the stress plate 3, the stress plate 3 gives the reactive force to the electric core 1, the electric core 1 is pushed inwards to limit the expansion of the pole piece, and in the whole charging process, the stress plate 3 props against the electric core 1 to press the electric core 1 to limit the expansion of the pole piece. Meanwhile, a gap is formed between the stress plate 3 and the first side plate 4.1, when the pole piece expands, the stress plate 3 can be pressed towards the gap, and the gap provides an expansion space for the battery cell 1.
As shown in fig. 3 to 5, a plurality of limit through holes 5 (3 are shown) are distributed along the length direction of the limit plate 2, and the limit through holes 5 are formed along the width direction of the limit plate 2, and are in a wave shape (fig. 4) or are in a round shape and a bar shape (fig. 5) which are arranged at intervals. As shown in fig. 6, a limiting pin 6 is arranged on the stress plate 3 corresponding to the limiting through hole 5, the limiting pin 6 is made of rubber, the diameter of the limiting pin is slightly larger than the width of the limiting through hole 5, and the stress plate 3 is movably installed in the limiting through hole 5 of the limiting plate 2 through the limiting pin 6. The limiting pin 6 of the stress plate 3 can move in the limiting through hole 5 of the limiting plate 2, so that a movable space is reserved for deformation of the stress plate 3 due to extrusion of the power receiving core 1, and the stress plate 3 can be prevented from falling off from the limiting through hole 5 due to too large deformation.
Specifically, when the elastic limiting pin is arranged in the wavy limiting through hole, each time the pole piece expands, the battery cell pushes the elastic limiting pin to squeeze from the front inflection point to the rear inflection point of the wavy limiting through hole (the front part is far from the first side plate and the rear part is far from the first side plate); when the elastic limiting pins are arranged in the round and strip-shaped limiting through holes which are arranged at intervals, each time the pole piece expands, the battery cell pushes the elastic limiting pins to be extruded from the former round to the latter round; therefore, the stress plate can be kept relatively fixed without sliding back and forth after each pole piece is contracted.
In addition, the expansion of the pole piece can be continuously increased along with the cycle times, so that the stress plate continuously moves in one-time expansion of the pole piece to reduce the expansion space, the stress plate can always act, the internal stress is uniformly dispersed when the pole piece expands, and the pole piece is ensured not to be wrinkled.
