Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technical field of structural design of secondary batteries, and specifically provides a battery.
  • Lithium-ion batteries are green and environmentally friendly, with long cycle life, good rate performance, safety and reliability, and are widely used in various energy storage products, consumer electronics products and power battery products.
  • Lithium-ion batteries can be divided into soft-packed lithium-ion batteries, square aluminum-shell batteries and steel-shell cylindrical batteries according to the manufacturing process.
  • the steel shell cylindrical battery cell is widely used in power automobile batteries because of the high degree of standardization of the process and the relatively low cost.
  • customers have increasingly higher requirements for the energy density and appearance of batteries.
  • the common cylindrical batteries on the market need to occupy part of the space of the batteries to implement the polarity separation of the batteries.
  • the positive and negative electrodes of the battery are the bottom shell and the cover of the battery respectively.
  • the separation of the positive and negative polarities is achieved by sealing on the cover side of the shell with an insulating rubber ring.
  • the above structure occupies about 4-6mm length of the cell, which is equivalent to 5.7%-10% of space waste; the above structure will drastically reduce the energy density when the height of the cell is reduced.
  • the button cell transfers the cell polarity separation function to the radial direction.
  • the positive and negative poles of this type of cell are still connected to the bottom shell and the shell cover respectively.
  • the bottom shell and the shell cover are coaxially buckled together, and the middle is filled.
  • the insulation layer realizes the polarity separation, and the polarity separation structure is on the outermost circle of the cell (refer to patent: ZL201080007121.9).

  • the pole composition of the cylindrical battery core has two processes: winding and lamination. Practice has proved that the energy density of the winding structure is the best. When the cylindrical pole group is formed by winding, it will inevitably be left due to the placement of the winding needle. The diameter of the center hole caused by the winding is generally greater than 1 mm. This winding center hole wastes battery cell space on the one hand, and on the other hand, the existence of the hole may also cause the structure of the pole group to collapse during use, so most cylindrical batteries will place a pin in the center hole of the pole group. Stable structure, however, this process adds additional process complexity.

Description

一种电芯 技术领域
本发明涉及二次电芯的结构设计技术领域，具体地提供了一种电芯。
背景技术
锂离子电芯绿色环保，循环寿命长、倍率性能及安全可靠性能好，被广泛应用于各储能产品、消费类电子产品以及动力电芯产品。锂离子电芯按照制作工艺可分为软包锂离子电芯，方形铝壳电芯及钢壳圆柱形电芯。其中钢壳圆柱形电芯由于工艺高度标准化，成本相当低廉，被广泛应用于动力汽车电芯。作为高速发展的新能源产业，在激烈的市场竞争下，客户对电芯的能量密度以及外观的要求也越来越高。
目前市场上常见的圆柱形电芯都需要占用部分电芯空间来实施电芯极性分隔。例如，传统18650及21700圆柱形电芯，其电芯的正负极分别是电芯的底壳与壳盖，正负极性的分隔是通过绝缘胶圈在壳盖侧通过滚边工艺密封实现，上述结构占用了电芯约4～6mm长度空间，相当于5.7％～10％空间浪费；上述结构在电芯高度减小时，会急剧降低能量密度，故目前对于高度较小的圆柱形电芯(纽扣电芯)则将电芯极性分隔功能转移到了径向方向，该类电芯的正负极依然分别连接在底壳与壳盖上，底壳与壳盖同轴扣在一起，中间填充绝缘层实现极性分隔，极性分隔结构在电芯最外圈(参考专利：ZL201080007121.9)，这种结构需要占用圆形截面最外圈约0.6mm空间，对于直径8～20mm电芯，相当于6％～15％空间浪费。
目前圆柱形电芯的极组成型有卷绕和叠片两种工艺，实践证明卷绕结构能量密度为最优，当采用卷绕成型圆柱形极组时，不可避免的会遗留因放置卷针而造成的卷绕中心孔，该孔直径一般大于1mm。这个卷绕中心孔一方面浪费电芯空间，另一方面由于孔的存在还可能导致极组在使用过程中结构坍塌，故大多数圆柱形电芯会在极组的中心孔内放置插针以稳定结构，然而，此种工艺额外增加了工艺复杂度。

如图11所示，本发明电芯的横截面形状可为圆形或椭圆形以及其他根据本领域技术人员掌握的常规知识所能做出的形状。
需要说明的是，本发明方案优选适用于圆柱形锂离子电芯。
需要说明的是，本发明电芯选用的电极组200与传统圆柱形电芯一致，即由至少一个正电极201和至少一个负电极202及分隔正负电极的隔膜203同轴螺旋卷绕成电极组200。其正电极201通常由箔状(或网状)金属集流体与涂覆在其面上的正极活性物质组成，箔材特别优选铝(或者铝合金)，正极活性物质可以是钴酸锂/磷酸铁锂/锰酸锂/钛酸锂/NCM三元材料/NCA三元材料中的一种或几种混合物。负电极202通常由箔状(或网状)金属集流体与涂覆在其面上的负极活性物质组成，箔材特别优选铜(或铜合金)，负极活性物质可以是碳素材料/钛酸锂/锂的一种或几种混合物。隔膜203优选一种塑料膜，特别是聚烯烃膜，例如聚乙烯膜。当然，隔膜203也可以是一种多层结构，如陶瓷/聚乙烯/陶瓷。上述正电极/负电极/隔膜通常被制作成扁平的条状，固定序列地以螺旋形式卷绕成电极组200。通常的卷绕顺序可以是以下两种结构中的一种：正电极/隔膜/负电极/隔膜，负电极/隔膜/正电极/隔膜。无论那种方式卷绕，在完成卷绕，拔出卷针后，在电极组中心会形成一个中心孔，该中心孔直径约等于卷针直径，通常大于1mm。
需要说明的是，本发明中，电芯外壳300、电极组200、中心孔以及插针组件100等尺寸，均根据本领域技术人员掌握的常规知识进行设置，不再详述。
本发明可采用如下加工工艺，以实施例1中的结构进行举例：
插针组件壳体101内通过模板注塑法注入了聚丙烯塑料，形成绝缘物质102，最终将孔内正电极引出导体103以及负电极引出导体104完全包裹，同时在绝缘物质102形成一个通孔状的注液孔，绝缘物质102与金属插针组件壳体101内壁紧密结合。
将插针组件100的插针组件壳体101插入电极组200的中心孔内，然后将插针组件壳体101内的正电极引出导体103以及负电极引出导体104向外弯折后分别与电极组200的正电极过渡导体204、负电极过渡导体205焊接。上述电极组200与插针组件100完成组装后再整体装入电芯外壳300内，通过激光焊接工艺将插针组件100和电芯外壳300在连接处焊接上，最终形成环状空腔将电极组200容纳在其中。
将电解液通过插针组件100的注液孔注入到电芯内部，然后将注液孔进行密封。实现上述操作的电芯再经过传统化成分选等通用工序最终形成可充放电二次锂离子圆柱电芯。
以上所述仅是本发明的优选实施方式，应当指出的是，对于本技术领域的普通技术人员来说，在不脱离本发明原理的前提下，还可以做出若干改进和润饰，这些改进和润饰也应视为本发明的保护范围。
