Description

Cylindrical battery pack
Technical Field

Background
The cylindrical battery has been applied to automobiles for 25 years since the first cylindrical lithium ion battery electric vehicle Prairie Joy EV was known in 1997. In 2008 Tesla Roadster adopts a loose 18650 battery, because 18650 cylindrical batteries have high automation degree, good consistency, high safety and lower cost, however 18650 battery single batteries are smaller, and the requirement of high capacity can be compensated by increasing the number of single batteries. Tesla model S uses 7104 batteries, which not only complicates the management system of the batteries, but also adds weight to the battery pack to a much lower energy density than the cells. On the premise that the field of raw materials does not obtain a great breakthrough, the volume of the cylindrical battery is increased to obtain more battery capacity, so that the cylindrical battery becomes the direction of the cylindrical vehicle battery. Tesla improves the energy density of the whole vehicle, reduces the system management cost, releases 21700 in 2017, and releases 46800 full-tab batteries in 2020, and the battery cell volume is also a strategy from small to large.
The diameter of the cylindrical battery cell is increased from 18mm to 46mm by 2.56 times. However, it can be predicted that the diameter 46mm is not necessarily the maximum diameter of the cylindrical battery cell, and the cylindrical diameter must be removed to a larger diameter after 46800 is mature so as to obtain larger single battery cell energy, and whether the battery cell is suitable for a whole vehicle or a two-wheel vehicle, the cylindrical battery in the future can be singly grouped like a square battery cell for electric friction, a handheld electric tool and the like.
As the diameter of the cylindrical battery cells increases, the gap between the battery cells can be larger during battery cell assembly.
Because of the shape of the cylindrical battery, gaps are formed between the battery cells, and when 18650 and 21700 are combined, a cooling system can be laid in the gaps between the battery cells to utilize the gaps. However, when the diameter of the cylinder is further increased, for example, when the cylinder cells of 4680/4690/4695/46120 or larger diameter are grouped, the gaps between the cells are further increased, and as the cells are increased, the heat inside the battery pack is also increased, which affects the performance of the battery pack. How to effectively improve the utilization rate of gaps and improve the energy density of the whole large cylinder and how to further reduce the heat dissipation of the high-energy battery pack is a problem to be solved.
