The first insulating member 150 may be of any suitable type of insulating material including, but not limited to, rubber, plastic.
Referring to fig. 2, 3, 7 and 8, the first insulating support 160 is disposed inside the case 110 between the first insulating member 150 and the electrode assembly 120, and specifically includes a surrounding sidewall and a first tab through hole 161 corresponding to the first tab 121, and the first tab 121 extends through the first tab through hole 161 and is electrically connected to the bottom plate 141 of the first terminal 140. The material of the first insulating support 160 includes, but is not limited to, rubber and plastic.
Referring to fig. 3, in the present utility model, an insulating member 170 is disposed on a side of the first insulating member 150 facing the free end 1211 of the first tab, and the insulating member 170 at least partially covers a gap 180 between the first insulating member 150 and the first insulating bracket 160. Specifically, the insulating member 170 may be connected to the first insulating member 150 in a variety of manners, such as a snap connection, a heat capacity connection, or a screw connection. In the present embodiment, the insulating member 170 is fixedly coupled to the first insulating member 150 by bolts for convenience of assembly and disassembly. The insulating member 170 extends from the first insulating member 150 toward the first insulating holder 160 in the thickness direction of the first cap plate 130, and at least a partial region simultaneously overlaps the first insulating member 150 and the first insulating holder 160, thereby blocking the abutting gap 180 between the first insulating member 150 and the first insulating holder 160. In another embodiment, the insulating member 170 may be connected to the first insulating holder 160; in other embodiments, the insulating member 170 may be partially connected to the first insulating member 150 and partially connected to the first insulating support 160.
The insulating member 170 may be a unitary structure or a plurality of separate structures, so long as it is ensured that the insulating member 170 at least partially shields the gap 180 between the first insulator 150 and the first insulator bracket 160. Preferably, for convenience of installation, in the present embodiment, referring to fig. 3, 4, 9 and 10, the insulating member 170 has a monolithic structure and a rectangular sheet-like structure, the long side of the insulating member 170 is parallel to the length direction of the cover plate, and the short side of the insulating member 170 is parallel to the thickness direction of the cover plate. The insulating member 170 is disposed on the opposite side of the first tab free end 1211, and the insulating member 170 at least partially covers the gap 180 between the first insulating member 150 and the first insulating support 160, so that, on one hand, the first tab free end 1211 can be prevented from protruding from the gap 180 between the first insulating member 150 and the first insulating support 160, and the first tab 121 can be prevented from contacting the housing 110, and on the other hand, the insulating member 170 can also prevent the redundant first tab 121, so that tab cutting can be avoided, thereby reducing production cost and improving safety performance of the battery 10.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the insulating member 170 only partially shields the slit 180 on the opposite side of the free end 1211 of the first tab, and thus can reduce the protrusion of the free end 1211 of the first tab from the slit 180 as compared with the conventional structure without the insulating member 170, but preferably, in the present embodiment, the insulating member 170 completely shields the slit 180 on the opposite side of the free end 1211 of the first tab in the width direction (as shown in the Z-axis of fig. 2) of the first tab 121.
Referring to fig. 2 and 10, in an example of the single battery 100 of the present utility model, the length dimension of the insulating member 170 is L1 along the width direction of the first tab 121, the width dimension of the first tab 121 in the corresponding region is L2, and the ratio of L1 to L2 is in the range of 0.6-1.2. If the ratio of L1 to L2 is less than 0.6, the first tab 121 cannot be completely blocked from protruding from the slit 180; if the ratio of L1 to L2 is greater than 1.2, the weight of the insulating member 170 is increased, thereby increasing the overall weight of the battery cell 100 and reducing the mass energy density of the battery cell 100. The ratio of L1 to L2 is set between 0.6 and 1.2, so that the first tab free end 1211 can be better blocked from extending out of the gap 180, and the overall weight of the single battery 100 can not be additionally increased.
Although the housing 110 may have only the first opening 111 in the present utility model, in an embodiment of the present utility model, referring to fig. 1, the housing 110 further includes a second opening opposite to the first opening 111 and disposed on the other side of the housing 110, so that an approximately rectangular channel with a bidirectional opening is formed on the housing 110, and the unit cell 100 further includes a second cover plate, and the structure of the second cover plate and the mounting structure on the housing 110 may refer to the structure of the negative side cover plate of the conventional two-way battery 10, or may be the same as the structure of the first cover plate 130 in the present utility model, so as to seal and encapsulate the second opening. In this embodiment, the packaging form of the second cover plate and the second opening may refer to the mounting form of the first cover plate 130 and the first opening 111. The electrode assembly 120 extends out of the other end facing away from the first tab 121 to form a second tab (not shown), and the polarities of the second tab and the first tab 121 are opposite, and the second tab is a negative tab and is electrically connected with the second cover plate or the second terminal on the second cover plate. In other embodiments, the first tab 121 may be a negative tab, and the second tab may be a positive tab.

Specifically, the insulating member 170 includes a first sidewall 171 facing the first insulating member 150, and the first sidewall 171 is simultaneously abutted against the outer sidewall of the first insulating member 150 and the outer sidewall of the second insulating bracket, so that the first sidewall 171 forms an outer shielding for the gap 180 between the first insulating member 150 and the second insulating bracket. The insulating member 170 is disposed between the sidewall of the case 110 and the first insulating member 150 such that the insulating member 170 is positioned outside the first insulating member 150, and does not interfere with the first terminal 140 inside the first insulating member 150 during the installation of the insulating member 170, but facilitates the installation of the insulating member 170 on the first insulating member 150 or the first insulating holder 160.
Referring to fig. 12, in an example of the single battery 100 of the present utility model, on a side of the first insulating member 150 and the first insulating support 160 facing the insulating member 170, a sidewall of the first insulating member 150 protrudes from a sidewall of the first insulating support 160, and a groove 190 is formed on the first insulating member 150, and a bottom wall of the groove 190 is coplanar with the sidewall of the first insulating support 160. The insulating member 170 is partially accommodated in the recess 190, abuts against the bottom wall of the recess 190, and the other portion of the insulating member 170 abuts against the side wall of the first insulating holder 160. The contour shape of the groove 190 is not limited as long as it can partially accommodate the insulating member 170. Preferably, however, the contour of the recess 190 at least partially matches the outer contour of the insulating member 170 in order to facilitate the mounting positioning of the insulating member 170 on the first insulating member 150. By providing the groove 190, not only the space occupied by the insulating member 170 in the thickness direction of the first insulating member 150 can be reduced, the energy density of the unit cell 100 can be improved, but also the mounting and positioning of the insulating member 170 can be facilitated. In another embodiment of the present utility model, referring to fig. 13, when the side wall of the first insulating support 160 protrudes from the side wall of the first insulating member 150, a groove 190 is formed on the first insulating support 160, and the bottom wall of the groove 190 is coplanar with the side wall of the first insulating member 150. In still another embodiment of the present utility model, referring to fig. 11, when the first insulating member 150 and the first insulating support 160 are coplanar toward the side of the insulating member 170, the grooves 190 are required to be formed on the sidewalls of the first insulating member 150 and the first insulating support 160.
Referring to fig. 3, 11 and 14, in an example of the single battery 100 of the present utility model, a side of the first insulating member 150 facing the insulating member 170 is coplanar with a side of the first insulating holder 160 facing the insulating member 170, and the groove 190 includes a first groove 191 portion provided on the first insulating member 150 and a second groove 192 portion provided on the first insulating holder 160, and a groove bottom wall of the first groove 191 portion is flush with a groove bottom wall of the second groove 192 portion. The gap 180 formed between the first insulator 150 and the first insulator holder 160 is located between the first groove 191 and the second groove 192. The portion of the insulating member 170 abutting against the first insulating member 150 is accommodated in the first groove 191 portion, and the portion of the insulating member 170 abutting against the first insulating holder 160 is accommodated in the second groove 192 portion, so that the insulating member 170 is shielded from the gap 180 between the first groove 191 portion and the second groove 192 portion. By the arrangement, on one hand, the installation and positioning of the insulating part 170 on the first insulating part 150 and the first insulating support 160 can be realized, and on the other hand, the installation space occupied by the insulating part 170 in the transverse direction of the single battery 100 can be reduced, so that the energy density of the single battery 100 can be improved.
The greater the thickness of the insulating member 170, the better the supporting stability of the insulating member 170, and the better the blocking effect on the redundant tabs at the slits 180, but correspondingly, the greater the installation space occupied in the thickness direction, the more unfavorable the improvement of the capacity density of the unit battery 100. Preferably, referring to fig. 11, in an example of the single battery 100 of the present utility model, the thickness of the insulating member 170 is H3, the thickness of the first insulating member 150 is H4, and 0.5H4.ltoreq.h3.ltoreq. 0.6H4. For example, H3 may be 0.5H4, 0.55H4, 0.6H4, or the like. Because when the thickness H3 of the insulating member 170 is less than 0.5H4, the supporting strength of the insulating member 170 is easily insufficient, and the strength requirement of blocking the redundant tab cannot be satisfied; when the thickness H3 of the insulating member 170 is greater than 0.6H4, the depth of the groove 190 of the first insulating member 150 is increased correspondingly under the condition that the installation space of the insulating member 170 is fixed in the thickness direction, thereby reducing the structural stability of the first insulating member 150. In this embodiment, by limiting the thickness H3 of the insulating member 170 to be 0.5H4 _h3_ 0.6H4, the insulating member 170 can have a certain supporting strength, and the depth of the groove 190 is not excessively increased, so that the structural stability of the first insulating member 150 is ensured.
Although the risk of the first tab free end 1211 protruding from the slit 180 of the single-piece first tab 121 by the insulating member 170 can be reduced in the present utility model, considering the tab structure in the conventional square-case battery 10, in an example of the single-piece battery 100 of the present utility model, referring to fig. 3, the first tab 121 includes a plurality of stacked first tabs, and the relation between the height H1 of the insulating member 170 and the stacking thickness H2 of the first tab 121 is as follows: H1/H2 is more than or equal to 2.68 and less than or equal to 3.68. When the ratio of the heights H1 and H2 of the insulating member 170 is lower than 2.68, there is still a risk that the first tab 121 is drilled out from the gap 180 between the first insulating member 150 and the first insulating holder 160; when the ratio of the heights H1 and H2 of the insulating member 170 is higher than 3.68, the height dimension (shown by the X1 axis in fig. 3) of the grooves 190 formed in the first insulating member 150 and the first insulating support 160 is larger, which affects the structural stability of the first insulating member 150 and the first insulating support 160.
Although the mounting size of the insulating member 170 in the lateral direction of the battery cell 100 can be reduced by providing the grooves 190 in the present utility model, it is preferable that the depths of the first grooves 191 and the second grooves 192 are consistent with the thickness of the insulating member 170 in an example of the battery cell 100 of the present utility model, referring to fig. 3 and 11. That is, when the insulating member 170 is mounted in the first and second grooves 191 and 192, the surface of the insulating member 170 does not protrude from the first insulating member 150 and the surface of the first insulation. By this arrangement, the installation space occupied by the insulating member 170 in the lateral direction of the unit cell 100 can be further reduced, and the volumetric energy density of the unit cell 100 can be further improved.
Referring to fig. 4, further, to facilitate the installation of the insulating member 170 in the groove 190, the length dimension (shown as the Y1 axis in fig. 4) of the groove 190 is slightly larger than the length dimension of the insulating member 170, and the height dimension (shown as the Z1 axis in fig. 4) of the groove 190 is slightly larger than the height dimension of the insulating member 170.
With continued reference to fig. 3, 11, 14, 15, 16 and 17, in an example of the single battery 100 of the present utility model, the height of the first groove 191 is equal to the height of the second groove 192 along the thickness direction (as shown by the X1 axis in fig. 3) of the first cover 130. In this way, when the insulating member 170 is mounted on the first groove 191 and the second groove 192, the gap 180 between the first insulating member 150 and the first insulating holder 160 can divide the insulating member 170 into two parts having equal heights, so that an even barrier effect can be obtained between the insulating member 170 and the first insulating member 150, and between the insulating member 170 and the first insulating holder 160, and further, the stability of the barrier effect of the insulating member 170 to the first tab free end 1211 can be improved.
Referring to fig. 3, 7, 8 and 18, in an embodiment of the battery cell 100 of the present utility model, the first insulating holder 160 includes a tab folding structure 162 for folding the first tab 121. The tab folding structure 162 may have various shapes as long as the positioning of the first tab 121 is achieved, and in the present utility model, the tab folding structure 162 includes a first spacer 1621 disposed opposite to the insulating member 170, the first spacer 1621 is fixedly disposed on the first insulating bracket 160, and the first tab 121 receiving groove is formed at a side facing the first cover 130, and the first spacer 1621 enables the first tab 121 to be tightly fixed between the first insulating bracket 160 and the bottom plate 141 of the first terminal 140 when folded and bent, thereby facilitating welding the first tab 121 to the bottom plate 141 of the first terminal 140. In another embodiment of the present utility model, the tab folding structure 162 further includes a second spacer 1622 opposite to the first spacer 1621, and the second spacer 1622 is configured to hold the first tab free end 1211 to prevent the first tab free end 1211 from being inserted into the die. Of course, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the first spacer 1621 or the second spacer 1622 may be disposed only on the first insulating support 160 without regard to the above-described superposition of advantageous effects. By providing the first and second spacers 1621 and 1622, the first tab 121 may be orderly stacked inside the case 110 by providing a guiding function for the stacking of the first tab 121 in the non-welding region.
Further, referring to fig. 3 and 18, in an embodiment of the single battery 100 of the present utility model, the first separator 1621 includes a horizontal segment 16211 and a bending segment 16212, one end of the horizontal segment 16211 is connected to the side wall of the first insulating bracket 160, the other end of the horizontal segment 16211 is connected to one end of the bending segment 16212, and the other end of the bending segment 16212 extends toward the second separator 1622 and is inclined near the first cover plate 130. An included angle alpha is formed between the horizontal section 16211 and the bending section 16212, and the included angle alpha is 140-170 degrees; for example, the included angle α may be 140 °, 150 °, 160 °, 170 °, or the like. Preferably, in this embodiment, the included angle α is 165 °. When the included angle α is smaller than 140 °, the first spacer 1621 causes local stress at the bending portion of the first tab 121 to be too high when the first tab 121 is folded, and is easy to break at the bending portion of the first tab 121; when the included angle α is greater than 170 °, the first spacer 1621 has an insufficient effect on the first tab 121. In this embodiment, the angle of the included angle α between the horizontal segment 16211 and the bending segment 16212 is set between 140 ° and 170 °, so as to achieve both the folding effect of the first tab 121 and the bending stress of the bending portion.
It should be noted that, in order to ensure the use safety of the single battery 100, an explosion-proof valve 132 is generally disposed on the first cover plate 130, where the explosion-proof valve 132 can be timely opened when the internal pressure of the single battery 100 is high, so as to implement directional explosion of the single battery 100 and reduce the risk of heat spreading caused by lateral explosion of the single battery 100; or a liquid injection hole 133 is provided in the first cap plate 130 to inject the electrolyte into the case 110. In an embodiment of the unit battery 100 of the present utility model, referring to fig. 5, in the thickness direction of the first cover 130, the projections of the first spacer 1621 and the second spacer 1622 on the first cover 130 do not overlap with the area of the explosion-proof valve 132 and the area of the liquid injection hole 133. This arrangement is such that the first and second spacers 1621, 1622 do not interfere with the normal opening of the explosion proof valve 132 and the priming efficiency of the priming orifice 133.
