The battery cell comprises a bare cell, a Mylar film, a shell and a top cover, wherein the Mylar film is coated outside the bare cell, and the shell and the top cover encapsulate the bare cell coated with the Mylar film to form the battery cell. In the related art, the case is deformed when the bare cell is cyclically expanded and breathes to generate gas, thereby stretching the connection structure between the case and the top cover, and there is a problem that the connection structure between the case and the top cover is failed.
Disclosure of utility model
In view of the foregoing, embodiments of the present application are expected to provide a battery cell, a battery and an electric device, which can improve the problem of failure of a connection structure between a housing and a top cover, and improve the service life of the battery cell.
To achieve the above object, a first aspect of an embodiment of the present application provides a battery cell, including:
the shell is provided with an accommodating space and an opening, and the top cover sealing cover is arranged at the opening;
An electrode assembly disposed in the receiving space;
The shell comprises a main body area and a buffer area which are sequentially connected in the height direction of the shell, wherein the buffer area is arranged on one side, close to the top cover, of the main body area, and the cross section perpendicular to the height direction of the shell is larger than the cross section of the main body cavity formed by surrounding the main body area.
According to the battery cell provided by the embodiment of the application, the top cover sealing cover is arranged at the opening of the shell, the shell is arranged to comprise the main body area and the buffer area which are sequentially connected along the height direction of the shell, the buffer area is arranged at one side of the main body area, which is close to the top cover, namely, is arranged close to the top cover, the cross section of the buffer cavity formed by surrounding the buffer area is larger than the cross section of the main body cavity formed by surrounding the main body area, namely, the buffer area expands outwards relative to the main body area, so that the whole shell forms a special-shaped structure, when the electrode assembly circularly expands and generates a force on the shell when the breathing generates a gas, the buffer area forms a stress buffer area of the shell, and the buffer area is arranged close to the top cover, so that the stress of a connecting structure between the shell and the top cover is reduced, the risk of cracking of the connecting structure between the shell and the top cover is reduced, the problem of failure of the connecting structure between the shell and the top cover is solved, and the service life of the battery cell is prolonged.
In some embodiments, at least a portion of the inner sidewall of the buffer region is recessed to form a groove.
Thus, when the electrode assembly is circularly expanded and the respiration generates a force to the shell, the force can be generated by the gas to the groove wall of the groove, and the pressure of the gas can be dispersed by the groove wall of the groove, so that the shearing force applied to the joint between the shell and the top cover is reduced. Furthermore, because the groove of the buffer area forms the trend of outwards expanding, the groove of the buffer area is easier to deform, and the stress of the joint between the shell and the top cover is further relieved, namely, the buffer area forms a stress buffer zone of the shell, so that the risk of cracking of a connecting structure between the shell and the top cover is reduced, the problem of failure of the connecting structure between the shell and the top cover is solved, and the service life of a battery is prolonged.
In some embodiments, at least a portion of the outer sidewall of the buffer region is convex such that the corresponding inner sidewall of the buffer region is concave to form a groove.
The inner side wall corresponding to the buffer area is recessed to form a groove by protruding at least part of the outer side wall of the buffer area, for example, by stamping and forming. In addition, the gas will form pressure to the wall of the groove, which can disperse the pressure of the gas, thereby reducing the shearing force applied to the connection between the housing and the top cover. Furthermore, because the grooves of the buffer area form a trend of outwards expanding, the grooves of the buffer area are easier to deform, and the stress of the connecting part between the shell and the top cover is further relieved, so that the problem of failure of the connecting structure between the shell and the top cover is further improved, and the service life of the battery cell is prolonged.
In some embodiments, at least a portion of the inner sidewall of the buffer region is thinned to form the recess.
The groove is formed by thinning at least part of the inner side wall of the buffer area, for example, by milling, planing and other processing technologies, the groove formed by the processing mode has higher precision and is convenient to form. In addition, the gas will form pressure to the wall of the groove, which can disperse the pressure of the gas, thereby reducing the shearing force applied to the connection between the housing and the top cover. Furthermore, as the wall thickness of the buffer area is smaller than that of the main body area, the wall of the groove can deform to a certain extent, so that the stress of the connecting part between the shell and the top cover is further relieved, the problem of failure of the connecting structure between the shell and the top cover is further solved, and the service life of the battery cell is prolonged.
In some embodiments, the wall thickness of the main body region and the wall thickness of the buffer region are x, and the recess depth of the groove in the direction perpendicular to the height direction of the shell is y, wherein y is 0.5 x.ltoreq.y.ltoreq.10x.
The concave depth of the groove in the direction perpendicular to the height direction of the shell is set to be 0.5x-10x, so that the structure of the shell is compact, the occupied installation space is small, and meanwhile, the groove has a good buffering effect on the stress of the joint between the shell and the top cover.
In some embodiments, the wall thickness of the body region is d and the wall thickness of the buffer region is p, wherein 0.3 d.ltoreq.p < d.
The wall thickness of the buffer area is set to be 0.3d-d, so that the buffer area has enough structural strength and can be deformed easily, and the buffer area has a good buffer effect on the stress of the connecting part between the shell and the top cover.
In some embodiments, the housing further comprises a connection region connected to a side of the cushioning region remote from the body region for connection with the top cover.
Here, the shell includes main part region, buffer zone and the connection region that connect gradually along the direction of height of shell, through setting up the connection region for be connected with the top cap, can make the junction between buffer zone and shell and the top cap have certain distance, further improve the buffer effect of buffer zone to the atress of junction between shell and the top cap.
In some embodiments, the height of the connection region is b and the height of the buffer region is c, wherein 0 < c.ltoreq.4b.
By setting the height c of the buffer area to be more than 0 and less than or equal to 4b, the structural compactness and the overall structural strength of the shell can be improved while the buffer effect of the buffer area on the stress of the joint between the shell and the top cover is better.
In some embodiments, the connection region is a welded connection with the top cover.
That is, the connection region of the housing is welded to the top cover to achieve the connection and sealing between the housing and the top cover.
In some embodiments, the weld penetration of the connecting area and the top cover is a, and the height of the connecting area is b, wherein a is less than or equal to b and less than or equal to 20a.
By setting the height of the connection area to be a-20a, the connection between the connection area and the top cover can be facilitated while the buffer effect of the buffer area on the stress of the connection between the shell and the top cover is better, and the buffer effect of reducing the stress of the buffer area on the connection between the shell and the top cover due to the fact that the height of the connection area is too small is avoided.
In some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of the connecting cavity formed by surrounding the connecting region is equal to the cross-sectional area of the main body cavity formed by surrounding the main body region, or the cross-sectional area of the connecting cavity formed by surrounding the connecting region is equal to the cross-sectional area of the buffer cavity formed by surrounding the buffer region.
The cross section area of the connecting cavity formed by surrounding the connecting area is equal to the cross section area of the main body cavity formed by surrounding the main body area, so that the structural compactness of the shell is improved.

The battery cell 10 may have a cylindrical shape, a flat shape, a rectangular parallelepiped shape, or other shapes, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application. The battery cells 10 are generally divided into three types in a package manner: the cylindrical battery cell, the square battery cell and the soft package battery cell are not limited in this embodiment.
Referring to fig. 3 to 6, a battery cell 10 according to an embodiment of the present application includes a case 1, a top cover, and an electrode assembly. The housing 1 has an accommodation space 1a and an opening 1b, and a top cover sealing cover is provided at the opening 1 b. The electrode assembly is disposed in the receiving space 1 a. Wherein the housing 1 includes a main body region 11 and a buffer region 12 connected in sequence in the height direction of the housing 1. The buffer area 12 is disposed on one side of the body area 11 near the top cover. In a cross section perpendicular to the height direction of the housing 1, the cross section of the buffer cavity surrounded by the buffer region 12 is larger than the cross section of the main cavity surrounded by the main region 11.
Here, the housing 1 may be in a cylindrical body, a flat body, a rectangular parallelepiped, or other shape, etc. When the housing 1 is cylindrical, the height direction of the housing 1 is the axial direction of the housing 1.
The cross-sectional area of the buffer cavity formed by surrounding the buffer region 12 refers to the cross-sectional area of the buffer cavity formed by surrounding the buffer region 12 taken along a plane perpendicular to the height direction of the housing 1. The cross-sectional area of the body cavity formed by surrounding the body region 11 means the cross-sectional area of the body cavity formed by surrounding the body region 11 taken along a plane perpendicular to the height direction of the housing 1.
The buffer cavity defined by the buffer region 12 has a larger cross-sectional area than the body cavity defined by the body region 11, that is, the buffer region 12 expands outwardly relative to the body region 11. Here, the buffer region 12 may be partially expanded outward with respect to the main body region 11, or may be entirely expanded outward with respect to the main body region 11. For example, when the housing 1 is cylindrical, the inner diameter of the buffer area 12 may be larger than the inner diameter of the body area 11.
In some embodiments, when the housing 1 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape, the buffer region 12 may be a partial or whole region of the long side that is expanded outward with respect to the main body region 11, or a partial or whole region of the short side that is expanded outward with respect to the main body region 11.
The top cap is generally perpendicular to the side of shell 1, shell 1 outwards warp, can produce the shearing force that is parallel to the top cap at the junction between shell 1 and the top cap, buffer zone 12 outwards expands for main part region 11, when electrode assembly cyclic expansion and breathe when producing the effect of gaseous to shell 1, buffer zone 12 forms the atress buffer zone of shell 1 to reduce the shearing force that junction between shell 1 and the top cap received, reduced the risk of the connection structure fracture between shell 1 and the top cap, improve the problem that connection structure between shell 1 and the top cap became invalid, improve battery cell 10's life.
According to the battery cell 10 provided by the embodiment of the application, the top cover sealing cover is arranged at the opening 1b of the shell 1, the shell 1 is arranged to comprise the main body area 11 and the buffer area 12 which are sequentially connected along the height direction of the shell 1, the buffer area 12 is arranged at one side of the main body area 11 close to the top cover, namely close to the top cover, the cross section perpendicular to the height direction of the shell 1 is larger than the cross section of the main body cavity formed by surrounding the main body area 11 by surrounding the buffer area 12, that is, the buffer area 12 expands outwards relative to the main body area 11, so that the shell 1 integrally forms a special-shaped structure, when the electrode assembly circularly expands and generates force on the shell 1 when breathing to generate gas, the buffer area 12 forms a stress buffer area of the shell 1, and the buffer area 12 is arranged close to the top cover, so that the stress of a connecting structure between the shell 1 and the top cover is reduced, the risk of cracking of the connecting structure between the shell 1 and the top cover is reduced, the problem of failure of the connecting structure between the shell 1 and the top cover is improved, and the service life of the battery cell 10 is prolonged.
It should be noted that the specific structure type of the buffer area 12 is not limited herein. In some embodiments, referring to fig. 4-6, at least a portion of the inner sidewall of the buffer region 12 is recessed to form a recess 12a.
Here, the recess 12a may be formed by recessing a part of the inner side wall of the buffer region 12, or the recess 12a may be formed by recessing the entire inner side wall of the buffer region 12.
At least a portion of the inner side wall of the buffer region 12 is recessed to form a groove 12a, so that when the electrode assembly is cyclically expanded and the respiration generates a force to the case 1, the gas will form a pressure on the groove wall of the groove 12a, and the groove wall of the groove 12a can disperse the pressure of the gas, thereby reducing the shearing force applied to the junction between the case 1 and the top cover. Furthermore, due to the outward expansion trend of the grooves 12a of the buffer area 12, the grooves 12a of the buffer area 12 are easier to deform, so that the stress of the connection part between the shell 1 and the top cover is further relieved, namely, the buffer area 12 forms a stress buffer area of the shell 1, thereby reducing the risk of cracking of the connection structure between the shell 1 and the top cover, improving the problem of failure of the connection structure between the shell 1 and the top cover, and prolonging the service life of the battery cell 10.
The grooves 12a may be formed in various ways.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 6, at least a portion of the inner sidewall of the buffer region 12 is thinned to form a recess 12a.
Here, the portion of the inner side wall of the buffer region 12 in the circumferential direction may be thinned to form the groove 12a, or the portion of the inner side wall of the buffer region 12 in the circumferential direction may be thinned to form the groove 12a.
In this embodiment, at least a portion of the inner side wall of the buffer region 12 is thinned to form the groove 12a, that is, the wall thickness of the buffer region 12 is smaller than that of the body region 11.
By thinning at least part of the inner side wall of the buffer area 12 to form the groove 12a, for example, by milling, planing or the like, the groove 12a is formed by thinning at least part of the inner side wall of the buffer area 12, the accuracy of the groove 12a formed by this processing is high, and the molding is convenient. In addition, the gas may form a pressure to the wall of the groove 12a, and the wall of the groove 12a may disperse the pressure of the gas, thereby reducing the shearing force applied to the connection between the housing 1 and the top cover. Furthermore, as the wall thickness of the buffer area 12 is smaller than that of the main body area 11, the gas can deform the wall of the groove 12a to a certain extent, so that the stress at the joint between the shell 1 and the top cover is further relieved, the problem of failure of the connecting structure between the shell 1 and the top cover is further improved, and the service life of the battery cell 10 is prolonged.
In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 6, the wall thickness of the body region 11 is d and the wall thickness of the buffer region 12 is p, wherein 0.3 d.ltoreq.p < d. That is, the wall thickness of the buffer region 12 is 0.3 times or more the wall thickness of the body region 11, and is smaller than the wall thickness of the body region 11.
P is, for example, 0.3d, 0.35d, 0.4d, 0.45d, 0.5d, 0.55d, 0.6d, 0.65d, 0.7d, 0.75d, 0.8d, 0.85d, 0.9d, 0.95d, or d, etc.
The wall thickness of the main body region 11 is d, the wall thickness of the buffer region 12 is p 0.3d-d, in other words, the recess depth of the groove 12a in the direction perpendicular to the height direction of the housing 1 is 0 to 0.7d.
It will be appreciated that in this embodiment, the greater the recess depth of the recess 12a in the direction perpendicular to the height direction of the housing 1, the smaller the wall thickness of the cushioning region 12, the more likely the cushioning region 12 will deform, the better the cushioning effect against the force applied to the junction between the housing 1 and the top cover, but the lower the structural strength of the cushioning region 12.
By setting the wall thickness of the buffer area 12 to 0.3d-d, the buffer area 12 can have enough structural strength and can be easily deformed at the same time, so that the buffer area 12 has a better buffer effect on the stress of the connecting part between the shell 1 and the top cover.
In other embodiments, referring to fig. 4 to 5, at least a portion of the outer sidewall of the buffer area 12 is protruded, so that the corresponding inner sidewall of the buffer area 12 is recessed to form a groove 12a.
Here, the outer side wall of the buffer region 12 may be partially protruded in the circumferential direction so that the inner side wall corresponding to the buffer region 12 is recessed to form the groove 12a, or the entire outer side wall of the buffer region 12 may be protruded in the circumferential direction so that the inner side wall corresponding to the buffer region 12 is recessed to form the groove 12a.
In this embodiment, the wall thickness of the buffer zone 12 is equal to the wall thickness of the body zone 11.
The recess 12a is formed by projecting at least a portion of the outer side wall of the buffer region 12 such that the corresponding inner side wall of the buffer region 12 is recessed, for example, by press forming, and projecting at least a portion of the outer side wall of the buffer region 12 such that the corresponding inner side wall of the buffer region 12 is recessed to form the recess 12a. In addition, the gas may form a pressure to the wall of the groove 12a, and the wall of the groove 12a may disperse the pressure of the gas, thereby reducing the shearing force applied to the connection between the housing 1 and the top cover. Furthermore, due to the outward expansion trend of the grooves 12a of the buffer area 12, the grooves 12a of the buffer area 12 are more prone to deformation, so that the stress at the connection part between the housing 1 and the top cover is further relieved, the problem of failure of the connection structure between the housing 1 and the top cover is further improved, and the service life of the battery cell 10 is prolonged.
The recess depth of the groove 12a in the direction perpendicular to the height direction of the housing 1 is not limited here.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 4 to 5, the wall thickness of the main body region 11 and the wall thickness of the buffer region 12 are x, and the recess depth of the recess 12a in the direction perpendicular to the height direction of the housing 1 is y, wherein 0.5 x.ltoreq.y.ltoreq.10x. That is, the recess 12a has a recess depth in a direction perpendicular to the height direction of the housing 1 of 0.5 times or more the wall thickness of the main body region 11 and the wall thickness of the buffer region 12 and 10 times or less the wall thickness of the main body region 11 and the wall thickness of the buffer region 12.
Y is, for example, 0.5x, 1x, 1.5x, 2x, 2.5x, 3x, 3.5x, 4x, 4.5x, 5x, 5.5x, 6x, 6.5x, 7x, 7.5x, 8x, 8.5x, 9x, 9.5x, or 10x, etc.
It will be appreciated that in this embodiment, the greater the recess depth of the recess 12a in the direction perpendicular to the height direction of the housing 1, the better the cushioning effect against the force applied to the junction between the housing 1 and the top cover, but this results in a larger protruding space of the cushioning region 12 outwards, resulting in a larger footprint of the housing 1.
By setting the recess depth of the recess 12a in the direction perpendicular to the height direction of the housing 1 to 0.5x-10x, the structure of the housing 1 can be compact, the occupied installation space is small, and meanwhile, the recess 12a has a good buffering effect on the stress of the connection part between the housing 1 and the top cover.
It is to be understood that the specific form in which the opening 1b is formed is not limited herein.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 4 to 6, the housing 1 further includes a connection region 13, and the connection region 13 is connected to a side of the buffer region 12 away from the main body region 11, for connection with a top cover.
The connection region 13 is connected to a side of the buffer region 12 remote from the body region 11, that is, the housing 1 includes the body region 11, the buffer region 12, and the connection region 13, which are sequentially connected in the height direction of the housing 1.
The connection region 13 is adapted to be connected to a top cover, i.e. an opening 1b is formed in the side of the connection region 13 remote from the buffer region 12, and a top cover sealing cover is provided at the opening 1b of the connection region 13.
Here, the housing 1 includes a main body region 11, a buffer region 12, and a connection region 13 sequentially connected in the height direction of the housing 1, and by providing the connection region 13 for connection with the top cover, the connection between the buffer region 12 and the housing 1 and the top cover can be made to have a certain distance, further enhancing the buffer effect of the buffer region 12 on the stress of the connection between the housing 1 and the top cover.
In other embodiments, the housing 1 may be provided without the connection region 13, and the opening 1b may be formed directly on the side of the buffer region 12 away from the main body region 11, i.e., the top cover is connected to the side of the buffer region 12 away from the main body region 11.
In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 4-6, the height of the connection region 13 is m and the height of the buffer region 12 is n, where 0 < n.ltoreq.4m.
The height of the buffer region 12 is, for example, 0.1m, 0.2m, 0.5m, 0.8m, 1m, 1.5m, 1.8m, 2m, 2.5m, 3m, 3.3m, 3.5m, 3.8m, 4m, or the like.
It will be appreciated that the height of the cushioning region 12 is too small and that the cushioning region 12 is less effective at cushioning the forces applied to the connection between the housing 1 and the top cover. Too high a height of the buffer zone 12 can affect the compactness and overall structural strength of the housing 1.
By setting the height n of the buffer area 12 to 0 < n.ltoreq.4m, the structural compactness and the overall structural strength of the housing 1 can be improved while the buffer effect of the buffer area 12 on the stress of the connection part between the housing 1 and the top cover is good.
The connection between the housing 1 and the top cover is not limited herein.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 4 to 6, the connection region 13 is welded to the top cover.
That is, the connection region 13 of the housing 1 is welded to the top cover to achieve a connection and seal between the housing 1 and the top cover.
Of course, in some embodiments, the housing 1 and the top cover may be in a clamping, plugging or fastening connection.
In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 6, the weld penetration of the connection region 13 is r, and the height of the connection region 13 is m, where r.ltoreq.m.ltoreq.20r.
The weld penetration refers to the distance between the deepest position of the melted portion of the base material and the surface of the base material. I.e. the distance in the butt weld from the end face of the opening 1b of the connection region 13 to the deepest part of the melting zone.
It will be appreciated that the height of the connection region 13 is too small, which on the one hand is detrimental to the connection between the connection region 13 and the top cover, i.e. is detrimental to the welding between the connection region 13 and the top cover, and on the other hand the force of the buffer region 12 is easily transferred to the connection between the connection region 13 and the top cover, thereby reducing the buffer effect of the force of the buffer region 12 on the connection between the housing 1 and the top cover. Too high a height of the connection region 13 may result in a poor cushioning effect of the cushioning region 12 against the forces applied at the connection between the housing 1 and the top cover.
By setting the height of the connection region 13 to r-20r, the connection between the connection region 13 and the top cover can be facilitated while the buffer effect of the buffer region 12 on the stress of the connection between the housing 1 and the top cover is better, and the buffer effect of reducing the stress of the buffer region 12 on the connection between the housing 1 and the top cover due to the too small height of the connection region 13 can be avoided.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 4 to 6, the cross-sectional area of the connecting cavity formed by surrounding the connecting region 13 is equal to the cross-sectional area of the main cavity formed by surrounding the main region 11, or the cross-sectional area of the connecting cavity formed by surrounding the connecting region 13 is equal to the cross-sectional area of the buffer cavity formed by surrounding the buffer region 12.
The cross-sectional area of the connecting cavity formed by surrounding the connecting region 13 refers to the cross-sectional area of the connecting cavity formed by surrounding the connecting region 13 cut along a plane perpendicular to the height direction of the housing 1.
By setting the cross-sectional area of the connection cavity formed by enclosing the connection region 13 to be equal to the cross-sectional area of the body cavity formed by enclosing the body region 11, the structural compactness of the housing 1 is facilitated to be improved.
The cross section area of the connecting cavity formed by surrounding the connecting area 13 is equal to the cross section area of the buffer cavity formed by surrounding the buffer area 12, so that the forming of the shell 1 is facilitated, the cost is reduced, and the production efficiency is improved.
