If L1 is less than 30mm, the interval between the two sets of electrode assemblies 30 is too small when they are unfolded, and assembly is inconvenient. When the two sets of electrode assemblies 30 are unfolded, the interval is too large for assembly. If L1 is greater than 100mm, the length of the shielding assembly 50 is too long, and it is not conducive to the connection of the tabs 31.
- the thickness H of the electrode assembly 30 ranges from 10 mm to 30 mm, such as H can be 10 mm, 12 mm, 15 mm, 18 mm, 20 mm, 22 mm, 25 mm, 28 mm, 30 mm, etc., so that the thickness of a single electrode assembly 30 is appropriate. If the thickness of the electrode assembly 30 is too small, such as H is less than 10 mm, the electrode assembly 30 is too thin, the structural strength is low, and it is not convenient to process and manufacture. If the thickness of the electrode assembly 30 is too large, such as H is greater than 30 mm, the electrode assembly is too thick, and it will be relatively loose during processing and manufacturing, which is not conducive to heat dissipation.
- the length of the shielding assembly 50 can be 100 mm, the distance L1 between the two sets of electrode assemblies 30 when unfolded is 80 mm, and the thickness of the electrode assembly 30 is 17 mm. In another example, the length of the shielding assembly 50 can be 76 mm, the distance L1 between the two sets of electrode assemblies 30 when unfolded is 52 mm, and the thickness of the electrode assembly 30 is 20 mm.

- the electrolyte when injecting electrolyte, the electrolyte needs a certain force to break through the first side 511 of the shielding component 50, so as to ensure the buffering capacity of the shielding component 50 for the electrolyte, so as to better disperse the electrolyte and prevent the electrolyte from directly flushing the electrode assembly 30.
- the distance d is too small, such as when the distance d is less than or equal to 0, it is difficult to ensure that the shielding component 50 completely covers the injection hole 411.
- the electrolyte When the electrolyte is injected, it will rush out from the first side 511 of the shielding component 50 and flush the electrode assembly 30.
- the electrolyte needs too much force to break through the shielding component 50 and flow out from the first side 511 of the shielding component 50, resulting in a decrease in the efficiency of electrolyte injection.
- the distance between the first side 511 of the shielding component 50 and the injection hole 411 is less than or equal to the distance between the second side 512 of the shielding component 50 and the injection hole 411, so that the electrolyte needs more force to break through the second side 512 of the shielding component 50, which can better protect the pole ear 31 adjacent to the second side 512.

- the resistance of the injected electrolyte to flush the shielding assembly 50 and reach the second pole ear 312 from the second side 512 of the shielding assembly 50 is greater, which can reduce the impact of the electrolyte on the second pole ear 312, and then when the electrolyte reaching the second pole ear 312 flows along the second pole ear 312 to the electrode assembly 30, the impact of the electrolyte is very small, so that the electrolyte can be better prevented from flushing and folding the diaphragm.
- the shielding component 50 covers the pole ear 31 adjacent to the second side 512 of the shielding component 50. That is to say, the shielding component 50 covers the second pole ear 312, which not only protects the second pole ear 312, but also prevents the connection between the second pole ear 312 and the second electrode terminal 422 from affecting the electrode assembly 30. For example, there are often burr welding slags at the welding point between the second pole ear 312 and the second electrode terminal 422, and the shielding component 50 covers the second pole ear 312, so that the shielding component 50 can cover these burr welding slags, thereby preventing these burr welding slags from damaging the electrode assembly 30 and improving safety.

- the distance from the second pole ear 312 to the injection hole 411 on a conventional battery cell 200 ranges from 3 to 5 mm, and d is the distance between the first side 511 of the shielding component 50 and the injection hole 411.
- Using a shielding component 50 of this width can ensure that the shielding component 50 covers the injection hole 411 well, and ensure the distance between the first side 511 of the shielding component 50 and the injection hole 411, so as to better buffer the injection of electrolyte, and can make the resistance of the electrolyte flowing out of the second side 512 of the shielding component 50 greater, so that only a small amount of electrolyte can flow to the second pole ear 312, so as to protect the second pole ear 312 and the electrode assembly 30.

本申请中电池单体可以包括锂离子二次电池、锂离子一次电池、锂硫电池、钠锂离子电池、钠离子电池或镁离子电池等,本申请实施例对此并不限定。电池单体可呈圆柱体、扁平体、长方体或其它形状等,本申请实施例对此也不限定。电池单体一般按封装的方式分成三种:柱形电池单体、方形电池单体和软包电池单体,本申请实施例对此也不限定。
本申请的实施例所提到的电池是指包括一个或多个电池单体以提供更高的电压和容量的单一的物理模块。例如,本申请中所提到的电池可以包括电池模块或电池包等。电池一般包括用于封装一个或多个电池单体的箱体。箱体可以避免液体或其他异物影响电池单体的充电或放电。
在电池中,电池单体为多个时,多个电池单体之间可串联或并联或混联,混联是指多个电池单体中既有串联又有并联。多个电池单体之间可直接串联或并联或混联在一起,再将多个电池单体构成的整体容纳于箱体内;当然,电池也可以是多个电池单体先串联或并联或混联组成电池模块形式,多个电池模块再串联或并联或混联形成一个整体,并容纳于箱体内。电池还可以包括其他结构,例如,该电池还可以包括汇流部件,用于实现多个电池单体之间的电连接。
本申请实施例中的电池单体包括电极组件、端盖和壳体。
电极组件也称为裸电芯,电极组件由正极片、负极片和隔膜组成。电极组件主要 依靠金属离子在正极片和负极片之间移动来工作。正极片包括正极集流体和正极活性物质层,正极活性物质层涂覆于正极集流体的表面,正极集流体上未涂覆正极活性物质层的部分凸出于已涂覆正极活性物质层的部分,未涂覆正极活性物质层的部分作为正极极耳,或者在正极集流体上焊接并引出金属导电体,以作为正极极耳。以锂离子电池为例,正极集流体的材料可以为铝,正极活性物质可以为钻酸锂、磷酸铁锂、三元锂或锰酸锂等。负极片包括负极集流体和负极活性物质层,负极活性物质层涂覆于负极集流体的表面,负极集流体上未涂覆负极活性物质层的部分凸出于己涂覆负极活性物质层的部分,未涂覆负极活性物质层的部分作为负极极耳,或者在负极集流体上焊接并引出金属导电体,以作为负极极耳。负极集流体的材料可以为铜,负极活性物质可以为碳或硅等。为了保证通过大电流而不发生熔断,正极极耳的数量为多个且层叠在一起,负极极耳的数量为多个且层叠在一起。可以理解地,电极组件中,正极极耳的数量可以为一个,负极极耳的数量也可以为一个。也就是说,电极组件上设有两组极耳,各组中包括至少一个极耳,且一组极耳为正极极耳,另一组极耳为负极极耳。
电极组件可以是卷绕式结构,也可以是叠片式结构。本申请实施例并不限于此。卷绕式结构多是将极耳焊接到集流体上,再按正极片——隔膜——负极片——隔膜的顺序排列;再通过卷绕组成圆柱形或方形电芯。叠片式结构多是在集流体上引出极耳,将正极片、负极片和隔膜按照正极片——隔膜——负极片——隔膜顺序排列,逐层叠合在一起形成叠片电芯;其中,可将隔膜切断,并以隔膜片直接叠片,或不将隔膜切断,而是以Z型折叠叠片。隔膜的材质可以为PP或PE等。隔膜是设置在正极片和负极片之间的绝缘膜,其主要作用是:隔离正、负极并使电池内的电子不能自由穿过,防止短路,而能够让电解液中的离子在正负极之间自由通过,以在正负极间形成回路。正极片和负极片统称为极片。正极极耳和负极极耳统称为极耳。
在电极组件制成后,还需要将电极组件装于壳体中,并注入电解液,以使电极组件浸入电解液中,使电极组件可以充分吸收电解液。然而,在电解液注入时,会存在一定的冲击力,这样当电解液冲击到电极组件时,会导致隔膜翻折,而露出极片,使得极耳与极片端面搭接引起自放电。而这种自放电不仅会消耗电能,甚至引发电池内短路风险,影响电池的性能和寿命。
基于上述考虑,为了解决加注电解液过程中,电解液冲刷电极组件,而导致隔膜翻折的问题,本申请实施例提供了一种电池单体,通过遮挡组件盖于端盖上的注液孔上,从而在注入电解液时,使遮挡组件会承受注入电解液冲击力,并对注入电解液起到分散与缓冲作用,可以避免电解液直接冲刷电极组件,进而可以避免因电解液冲刷导致隔膜翻折,提升电池的性能和寿命。
本申请实施例公开的电池单体可以用于使用电池作为电源的用电装置或者使用电池作为储能元件的各种储能系统,如应用于水力、火力、风力和太阳能电站等储能电源系统。用电装置可以为但不限于手机、平板、笔记本电脑、电动玩具、电动工具、电动自行车、电动摩托车、电动汽车、轮船、航天器等等。其中,电动玩具可以包括固定式或移动式的电动玩具,例如,游戏机、电动汽车玩具、电动轮船玩具和电动飞机玩具等等,航天器可以包括飞机、火箭、航天飞机和宇宙飞船等等。
为了方便说明,以本申请一实施例提供一种用电装置,该用电装置以车辆为例进 行说明。
请参照图1,图1为本申请一些实施例提供的车辆1000的结构示意图。车辆1000可以为燃油汽车、燃气汽车或新能源汽车,新能源汽车可以是纯电动汽车、混合动力汽车或增程式汽车等。车辆1000的内部设置有电池1001,电池1001可以设置在车辆1000的底部或头部或尾部。电池1001可以用于车辆1000的供电,例如,电池1001可以作为车辆1000的操作电源。车辆1000还可以包括控制器1002和马达1003,控制器1002用来控制电池1001为马达1003供电,例如,用于车辆1000的启动、导航和行驶时的工作用电需求。
在本申请一些实施例中,电池1001不仅可以作为车辆1000的操作电源,还可以作为车辆1000的驱动电源,代替或部分地代替燃油或天然气为车辆1000提供驱动动力。
请参照图2,图2为本申请一些实施例提供的电池1001的分解结构示意图。电池1001包括箱体100和电池单体200,电池单体200容纳于箱体100内。其中,箱体100用于为电池单体200提供容纳空间,箱体100可以采用多种结构。在一些实施例中,箱体100可以包括第一部分101和第二部分102,第一部分101与第二部分102相互盖合,第一部分101和第二部分102共同限定出用于容纳电池单体200的容纳空间。第二部分102可以为一端开口的空心结构,第一部分101可以为板状结构,第一部分101盖合于第二部分102的开口侧,以使第一部分101与第二部分102共同限定出容纳空间;第一部分101和第二部分102也可以是均为一侧开口的空心结构,第一部分101的开口侧盖合于第二部分102的开口侧。当然,第一部分101和第二部分102形成的箱体100可以是多种形状,比如,圆柱体、长方体等。多个电池单体200相互并联或串联或混联组合后,置于第一部分101和第二部分102扣合后形成的箱体100内。
请参照图3,图3为本申请一些实施例提供的电池单体200的分解结构示意图。请一并参阅图4至图6,图4为本申请一些实施例的电池单体20合芯前的结构示意图,图5为本申请一些实施例的电池单体200合芯前的侧视结构示意图,图6为本申请一些实施例的电池单体200合芯后的侧视结构示意图。
电池单体200包括电极组件30、端盖组件40和遮挡组件50。端盖组件40包括端盖41,端盖41上设有注液孔411,以便加注电解液。遮挡组件50盖于注液孔411上,也就是遮挡组件50设于端盖41朝向电极组件30的一侧并遮挡注液孔411。
在一些实施例中,电池单体200还包括壳体70,电极组件30安装在壳体70中,端盖41盖于壳体70上。
在一些实施例中,电极组件30上设有两组极耳31,两组极耳31的极性相反。端盖组件40还包括两个电极端子42,两个电极端子42分别与两组极耳31相连,各电极端子42安装在端盖41上,通过端盖41来支撑电极端子42。
电极组件30上的两组极耳31:一组极耳31为正极极耳,另一组极耳31为负极极耳。电极组件30上可以设置一个或多个正极极耳。当电极组件30上的正极极耳为一个,则该一个正极极耳形成一组极耳31。当电极组件30上的正极极耳为多个,则这些正极极耳层叠在一起形成一组极耳31。电极组件30上可以设置一个或多个负极极耳。当电极组件30上的负极极耳为一个,则该一个负极极耳形成一组极耳31。当电极组件30上的负极极耳为多个,则这些负极极耳层叠在一起形成一组极耳31。
端盖41是指盖于壳体70的开口处以将电池单体200的内部环境隔绝于外部环境的部件。端盖41的形状可以与壳体70的形状相适应,以配合盖于壳体70上。可选地,端盖41可以由具有一定硬度和强度的材质(如铝合金)制成,这样,端盖41在受挤压碰撞时就不易发生形变,使电池单体200能够具备更高的结构强度,安全性能也可以有所提高。
电极端子42是指设于端盖41上的导电件,电极端子42与电极组件30的极耳31相连,以输出电池单体200的电能,或向电池单体200充电。电池单体200的电极端子42一般为两个,两个电极端子42分别与电极组件30的正负极极耳相连,与正极极耳相连的电极端子42为正电极端子,与负极极耳相连的电极端子42为负电极端子。电极组件30与端盖41上的电极端子42相连,以形成电池单体200,当然,电池单体200还可以包括其他功能部件。
壳体70是用于配合端盖41以形成电池单体200的内部环境的组件,其中,形成的内部环境可以用于容纳电极组件30、电解液以及其他部件。壳体70和端盖41可以是独立的部件,可以于壳体70上设置开口,通过在开口处使端盖41盖合开口以形成电池单体200的内部环境。壳体70可以是多种形状和多种尺寸的,例如长方体形、圆柱体形、六棱柱形等。具体地,壳体70的形状可以根据电池单体200的具体形状和尺寸大小来确定。壳体70的材质可以是多种,比如,铜、铁、铝、不锈钢、铝合金、塑胶等,本申请实施例对此不作特殊限制。
电池单体200可以包括一个或多个电极组件30。当电池单体200包括多个电极组件30时,多个电极组件30分成两组,每组包括至少一个电极组件30,如当电极组件30为两个时,则该两个电极组件30分成两组。而当电极组件30的数量大于两个时,则至少一组中包括至少两个电极组件30,而另一组包括至少一个电极组件30。当电极组件30的数量为偶数个时,可以将两组中电极组件30的数量设置相同。
当电池单体200包括两组电极组件30时,两组电极组件30相对展开,如图4及图5所示,以便将各组电极组件30上极性相同的极耳31与同一个电极端子42相连,方便连接。在将各电极组件30与对应电极端子42连接后,可以将遮挡组件50安装在端盖41上,使遮挡组件50盖于端盖41的注液孔411,并使遮挡组件50的两端弯曲与邻近的两个电极组件30的极耳31所在端的端面相连,也就是说,遮挡组件50的两端与这些电极组件30中更靠近该遮挡组件50的两个电极组件30的极耳31所在端面相连。这时要将电极组件30安装在壳体70中,就需要将两组电极组件30折叠合芯,如图6所示,以便将各电极组件30安装在壳体70中。将两组电极组件30相对展开的状态为合芯前的状态。而两组电极组件30折叠后的状态为合芯后的状态,而两组电极组件30折叠的过程称为合芯。另外,电池单体200包括两组电极组件30时,在制作电池单体200时,可以将多个电极组件30进行集成,而将多个电极组件30分成两组,以方便组装。
本申请实施例中,使遮挡组件50盖于端盖41上的注液孔411上,从注液孔411注入电解液时,遮挡组件50会阻挡电解液,由于遮挡组件50的阻挡作用,使电解液直接冲击遮挡组件50,使遮挡组件50承受注入电解液冲击力,以使遮挡组件50吸收电解液的冲击能量,而电解液从遮挡组件50与端盖41间的间隙分散流入壳体70,以对注入电解液起到分散与缓冲作用,可以避免电解液直接冲刷电极组件30,进而可以避免因电解液冲刷导致隔膜翻折, 降低极耳31与极片端面搭接引起自放电的风险,提升安全性与延长使用寿命。
在一些实施例中,端盖41上还可以设置有用于在电池单体200的内部压力或温度达到阈值时泄放内部压力的泄压机构。端盖41的材质也可以是多种的,比如,铜、铁、铝、不锈钢、铝合金、塑胶等,本申请实施例对此不作特殊限制。
如图3所示,电极组件30具有高度方向、宽度方向与厚度方向,图中Y方向为电极组件30的高度方向,X方向为电极组件30的宽度方向,Z方向为电极组件30的厚度方向。
请参阅图3至图5,为了便于描述,定义电极组件30的相对两端分别为第一端301和第二端302,其中极耳31位于电极组件30的第一端301,也就是说,电极组件30的第一端301为电极组件30上极耳31所在端。第二端302为电极组件30上与第一端301相对的一端,第一端301至第二端302的方向为上述电极组件30的高度方向(即Y方向)。电极组件30的第一端301与第二端302之间,并且电极组件30的高度方向(即Y方向)与宽度方向(即X方向)所限定的表面为电极组件30的侧面,由此可知,电极组件30具有相对的两个侧面,两个侧面的法向为电极组件30的厚度方向(即Z方向)。
端盖41上的电极端子42与电极组件30的极耳31连接,端盖41在组装时,会盖于壳体70上。端盖41外廓可以为长方形或类长方形的扁平板状,如端盖41的各角可以呈圆角。如图3和图4所示,端盖41的宽度方向与电极组件30的厚度方向一致,端盖41的长度方向与电极组件30的宽度方向一致。端盖41长度方向的两侧为端盖41的两侧,端盖41的一侧的边缘为端盖41的侧边。端盖41长度方向的两端为端盖41的两端。由于遮挡组件50是沿电极组件30的厚度方向(即端盖41的宽度方向)贴于端盖41上,则遮挡组件50的宽度方向与端盖41的长度方向一致。
遮挡组件50具有相对两侧和相对的两个侧边,分别为一侧和另一侧,遮挡组件50一侧的边缘为遮挡组件50的一侧边,遮挡组件50另一侧的边缘为遮挡组件50的另一侧边。为了方便描述,将遮挡组件50的一侧定义为第一侧,遮挡组件50的另一侧定义为第二侧,相应地遮挡组件50的一侧边定义为第一侧边511,遮挡组件50的另一侧边定义为第二侧边512。
而电极组件30上设有极性相反的极耳31,当遮挡组件50盖于注液孔411上时,遮挡组件50的第一侧边511与第二侧边512分别位于注液孔411的相对两侧,而电极组件30上设有极性相反的两组极耳31。当注液孔411设于两组极耳31之间(即两组极耳31位于注液孔411的相对两侧),或者两组极耳31位于注液孔411的同一侧时,必然是有一组极耳31相对于第一侧边511来说,更靠近第二侧边512。为了便于描述,将两组极耳31中相对第二侧边512来说更靠近第一侧边511的一组极耳31称为第一极耳311,而两组极耳31中更靠近第二侧边512,而远离第一侧边511的一组极耳31定义为第二极耳312。这样与第一极耳311相连的电极端子42可以称为第一电极端子421,与第二极耳312相连的电极端子42可以称为第二电极端子422,以便区分与描述。
在一些实施例中,请参阅图3和图4,可以将遮挡组件50与端盖41粘接相连,这样可以方便将遮挡组件50与端盖41相连,便于对遮挡组件50进行固定,便于组装,而且可以良好地保证遮挡组件50盖于端盖41上的注液孔411上,也就是说,遮挡组件50与端盖41的粘接强度被设置为:来自于注液孔411注入的电解液能够将遮挡组件50部分冲击脱 离端盖41。遮挡组件50与端盖41的粘接强度小于注液孔411注入电解液的压强。粘接强度是指单位粘接面上承受的粘接力。压强是指单位面积上承受的力。遮挡组件50与端盖41的粘接强度小于注液孔411注入电解液的压强,在注入电解液时,电解液的冲击力可以使遮挡组件50与端盖41连接的部分区域分离,防止遮挡组件50将注液孔411堵死,这样电解液可以从这些分离的区域流过,以便注入电解液。
在一些实施例中,请参阅图3和图4,遮挡组件50包括遮挡件51,则遮挡件51与端盖41粘接相连,以保证遮挡件51盖于端盖41上的注液孔411上,遮挡件51与端盖41的粘接强度被设置为:来自于注液孔411注入的电解液能够将遮挡件51部分冲击脱离端盖41。遮挡件51与端盖41的粘接强度小于注液孔411注入电解液的压强。在注入电解液时,电解液的冲击力可以使遮挡件51与端盖41连接的部分区域分离,防止遮挡件51将注液孔411堵死,这样电解液可以从这些分离的区域流过,以便注入电解液。
遮挡组件50包括遮挡件51时,遮挡件51是沿电极组件30的厚度方向(即端盖41的宽度方向)贴于端盖41上,则遮挡件51的宽度方向与端盖41的长度方向一致。遮挡件51的长度方向与遮挡组件50的长度方向一致,遮挡件51的宽度方向与遮挡组件50的宽度方向一致。遮挡组件50的第一侧也为遮挡件51的第一侧,遮挡组件50的第二侧也为遮挡件51的第二侧,遮挡组件50的第一侧边511也为遮挡件51的第一侧边,遮挡组件50的第二侧边512也为遮挡件51的第二侧边。
在一些实施例中,遮挡组件50包括遮挡件51和缓冲件52,可以将缓冲件52安装在电极组件30上,并且缓冲件52支撑住遮挡件51,以通过缓冲件52来将遮挡件51支撑在电极组件30上,这样可以更稳定地支撑遮挡件51,在加注电解液时,可以提升遮挡件51抗电解液冲击的能力,以更好地防止遮挡件51脱落。
在一些实施例中,缓冲件52可以为弹性件,以弹性支撑遮挡件51,从而在加注电解液时,电解液冲开遮挡件51流入壳体70时,遮挡件51可以对电解液进行弹性缓冲,而在加注停止时,遮挡件51可以再次堵于注液孔411上,防止杂质进入壳体70。
可以理解地,缓冲件52也可以是硬质件,以稳定支撑住遮挡件51,提升遮挡件51承受电解液冲击的能力。
在一些实施例中,请参阅图3和图4,遮挡件51为片状结构,可以减小占用的空间,提升电池单体的容量密度,而且也方便将遮挡件51粘接在端盖41上,而且在电解液冲击遮挡件51时,可以将遮挡件51部分冲开,以便加注电解液,而且可以防止遮挡件51从端盖41上脱落。可以理解地,遮挡件51也可以使用板状等其他形状的结构。
在一些实施例中,请参阅图3和图4,遮挡件51可以为具有弹性的结构。也就是说,遮挡件51具有弹性特性,而使遮挡件51具有弹性,在组装后,遮挡件51可以弹性抵持端盖41,特别是可以弹性盖于注液孔411上,在加注电解液时,遮挡件51可以弹性缓冲电解液,以更好的吸收电解液的冲击能量,以缓冲与分散电解液,避免电解液直接冲刷电极组件30,进而避免因电解液冲刷导致隔膜翻折。由于遮挡件51会弹性变形,这样也便于电解液的注入,提升电解液的注入效率。而且这种结构还可以保护遮挡件51,不会导致遮挡件51从端盖41上脱落。可以理解地,遮挡件51也可以使用柔性膜片,柔性膜片粘贴于端盖41上,当加注电解液时,遮挡件51与端盖41粘接的区域中仅会部分区域被电解液冲开,这样也不会导致遮挡件51脱落,而且遮挡件51也可以对加注电解液进行缓冲与分散,以避免电 解液直接冲刷电极组件30。
在一些实施例中,请参阅图3和图4,遮挡件51可以具有弹性并粘接在端盖41上,在组装时,可以方便遮挡件51的安装,而在加注电解液时,电解液冲开遮挡件51流入壳体70时,遮挡件51可以对电解液进行弹性缓冲,而在加注停止时,遮挡件51可以再次堵于注液孔411上,防止杂质进入壳体70。
在一些实施例中,缓冲件52可以为片状结构,以减小缓冲件52占用空间。可以理解地,缓冲件52也可以使用柱状件等。
在一些实施例中,缓冲件52为弹性件时,可以为具有弹性的片状结构,这样可以将缓冲件52弯曲设置,将缓冲件52的两端分别与遮挡件51和电极组件30相连,以支撑遮挡件51。可以理解地,缓冲件52也可以使用弹性胶柱。
在一个实施例中,遮挡组件50包括遮挡件51和缓冲件52,遮挡件51沿端盖41长度方向的两端分别设有缓冲件52,缓冲件52与遮挡件51是一体成型,以便加工制作,且方便安装。
在一个实施例中,遮挡件51和缓冲件52均为片状结构时,可以将缓冲件52与遮挡件51一体成型,并且使遮挡件51长度方向的两端分别设置缓冲件52,也就是说,遮挡组件50整体为片状结构。可以理解地,遮挡件51与缓冲件52也可以单独设置,再将缓冲件52与遮挡件51粘接相连。
遮挡组件50整体为片状结构,也就是说,缓冲件52与遮挡件51一体成型的整体为片状结构,占用空间小,便于加工制作,且便于安装使用,成本低。如遮挡组件50可以是指具有绝缘特性的膜片,如遮挡组件50可以是PET(polyethylene glycol terephthalate,聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯)等树脂片,也可以是其他塑料片等制作,从而遮挡组件50长度方向的中部形成遮挡件51,而两端形成缓冲件52。如可以使用较长的绝缘带经切断,得到遮挡组件50。遮挡组件50具有长度方向与宽度方向,遮挡组件50长度方向的两端为遮挡组件50的两端,遮挡组件50长度方向的两侧为遮挡组件50的两侧,遮挡组件50的一侧的边缘为遮挡组件50的侧边。遮挡组件50的长度方向与端盖41的宽度方向一致。
在一些实施例中,电极组件30为多个,并且分成两组时,遮挡件51的相对两端部的缓冲件52弯曲与邻近注液孔411的两个电极组件30相连,这样可以使遮挡件51起到保护电极组件30的作用,特别是在加注电解液时,遮挡件51可以将电解液分散到电极组件30的边缘,以更为分散电解液,避免加注电解液时冲刷电极组件30。另外,当缓冲件52具有弹性时,缓冲件52需要向电极组件30弯曲呈弧形,以与电极组件30相连,这样电极组件30还可以对遮挡件51起到支撑作用,使遮挡件51可以弹性抵持端盖41,以更好的遮盖注液孔411,并对加注的电解液进行弹性缓冲,提升吸收电解液冲击的能力。遮挡件51的相对两端为遮挡件51长度方向的相对两端,也是指遮挡件51沿端盖41宽度方向的相对两端。
可以理解地,电极组件30设置为一个时,遮挡件51的相对两端部的缓冲件52弯曲与电极组件30相连。
在一些实施例中,请参阅图3和图4,遮挡组件50整体为片状结构时,遮挡组件50整体可以为具有弹性的片状结构。也就是说,遮挡组件50具有弹性特性,而使遮挡组件50具有弹性,在组装后,遮挡件51可以弹性抵持端盖41,特别是可以弹性盖于注液孔411上,在加注电解液时,遮挡件51可以弹性缓冲电解液,以更好的吸收电解液的冲击能量,以缓 冲与分散电解液,避免电解液直接冲刷电极组件30,进而避免因电解液冲刷导致隔膜翻折。由于遮挡组件50会弹性变形,这样也便于电解液的注入,提升电解液的注入效率。而且这种结构还可以保护遮挡件51,不会导致遮挡件51从端盖41上脱落。可以理解地,遮挡组件50也可以使用柔性膜片,柔性膜片粘贴于端盖41上,当加注电解液时,遮挡组件50与端盖41粘接的区域中仅会部分区域被电解液冲开,这样也不会导致遮挡组件50脱落,而且遮挡组件50也可以对加注电解液进行缓冲与分散,以避免电解液直接冲刷电极组件30。
在一些实施例中,请参阅图4、图5和图6,遮挡组件50包括遮挡件51和缓冲件52,遮挡组件50整体呈片状结构时,遮挡组件50的长度为L,即遮挡件51及其两端缓冲件52长度之和,且满足:2mm≤L1+1.5*H-L≤6mm,其中,L1为两组电极组件30展开时的间距(即两组电极组件30相对展开,电极组件30与端盖41的侧边平行时,两组电极组件30处于同一高度,两组电极组件30之间的距离),H为电极组件30的厚度。这种遮挡组件50的长度规格,可以保证遮挡组件50的两端可以与邻近注液孔411的两个电极组件30相连,而且可以使遮挡组件50的两端不会超过相应电极组件30的侧面,这样在两组电极组件30合芯后,可以避免遮挡组件50的两端相互抵持而产生干涉。对于同种型号的电池单体来说,L1的值与H的值相对固定。可以理解地,不同型号的电池单体,L1的值设置可以不同,也可以相同,在此不作限定。同理,不同型号的电极组件30,H的值设置可以不同,也可以相同,在此不作限定。当遮挡组件50的长度L过大时,在装配后,遮挡组件50的两端可能会相互抵持而产生干涉,不便于注液及减缓电解液的冲击。而当遮挡组件50的长度L过小时,在装配后,遮挡组件50的两端难以保证与电极组件30连接,不便于减缓电解液的冲击。
在一个实施例中,L1的范围为30mm-100mm,如L1可以为30mm、35mm、40mm、45mm、50mm、55mm、70mm、65mm、70mm、75mm、80mm、85mm、90mm、95mm、100mm等,以保证两组电极组件30展开时,间隔不会过小,以便装配,如L1小于30mm,两组电极组件30展开时间隔过小,装配不方便。而当两组电极组件30展开时,间隔过大,以便装配,如L1大于100mm,遮挡组件50长度过长,而且也不利于极耳31的连接。
在一个实施例中,电极组件30的厚度H的范围为10mm-30mm,如H可以为10mm、12mm、15mm、18mm、20mm、22mm、25mm、28mm、30mm等,以使单个电极组件30厚度适当。电极组件30厚度过小,如H小于10mm,电极组件30太薄,结构强度小,不便于加工制作。而电极组件30厚度过大,如H大于30mm,电极组件太厚,加工制作时,会较为松散,也不利于散热。
在一个实例中,遮挡组件50的长度可以为100mm,两组电极组件30展开时的间距L1为80mm,电极组件30的厚度为17mm。在另一个实例中,遮挡组件50的长度可以为76mm,两组电极组件30展开时的间距L1为52mm,电极组件30的厚度为20mm。
在一些实施例中,请参阅图3和图4,由于遮挡组件50覆盖于注液孔411上,遮挡组件50的第一侧边511与第二侧边512分别位于注液孔411的相对两侧,遮挡组件50的第一侧边511至注液孔411间的距离小于或等于遮挡组件50的第二侧边512至注液孔411间的距离。遮挡组件50的第一侧边511与注液孔411之间的距离为d,且0<d<20mm。将遮挡组件50的第一侧边511与注液孔411之间距离为d,也就是说,遮挡组件50盖于注液孔411 上,并且遮挡组件50的第一侧边511超过注液孔411的边缘,遮挡组件50的第一侧边511超过注液孔411的边缘的最小距离即为过盈距离,遮挡组件50的第一侧边511超过注液孔411的边缘的距离d的范围取为0<d<20mm,如距离d可以为1mm、2mm、3mm、4mm、5mm、6mm、7mm、8mm、9mm、10mm、11mm、12mm、13mm、14mm、15mm、16mm、17mm、18mm、19mm等。从而在注入电解液时,电解液冲开遮挡组件50的第一侧边511,需要一定的力度,保证遮挡组件50对电解液的缓冲能力,以更好的分散电解液,避免电解液直接冲刷电极组件30。当距离d过小,如距离d小于或等于0时,难以保证遮挡组件50完全盖于注液孔411上,电解液加注时,会从遮挡组件50的第一侧边511冲出,而冲刷电极组件30。当距离d过大,如大于20mm时,电解液冲开遮挡组件50,从遮挡组件50的第一侧边511流出需要的力度过大,导致电解液加注效率降低。将遮挡组件50的第一侧边511至注液孔411间的距离小于或等于遮挡组件50的第二侧边512至注液孔411间的距离,使得电解液冲开遮挡组件50的第二侧边512,需要的力度更大,这样可以更好的保护邻近第二侧边512的极耳31。
在上述实施例中,当遮挡组件50包括遮挡件51时,遮挡组件50的第一侧边511为遮挡件51的第一侧边,遮挡组件50的第二侧边512为遮挡件51的第二侧边。
在一些实施例中,请参阅图4和图6,遮挡组件50的第二侧边贴于邻近的极耳31上,遮挡组件50的第一侧边511与另一极耳间隔设置。也就是说,遮挡组件50的第二侧边512贴于邻近该第二侧边512的极耳31上,即遮挡组件50的第二侧边512贴于第二极耳312上。将遮挡组件50的第二侧边512贴于第二极耳312上,可以使得注入电解液冲开遮挡组件50,从遮挡组件50的第二侧边512到达第二极耳312的阻力更大,这样可以降低电解液对第二极耳312的冲击力度,进而到达第二极耳312的电解液顺第二极耳312流向电极组件30时,电解液的冲击力很小,从而可以更好地避免电解液冲刷翻折隔膜。
在一些实施例中,遮挡组件50覆盖邻近该遮挡组件50的第二侧边512的极耳31。也就是说,遮挡组件50覆盖第二极耳312上,这样不仅可以对第二极耳312起到保护作用,还可以避免第二极耳312与第二电极端子422的连接处对电极组件30的影响,如第二极耳312与第二电极端子422的焊接处往往会存在毛刺焊渣,而遮挡组件50覆盖第二极耳312,这样可以使遮挡组件50盖于这些毛刺焊渣上,避免这些毛刺焊渣损伤电极组件30,提升安全性。
在上述实施例中,遮挡组件50的宽度为D,且满足:D=D1+D2+d+D3,其中,D1为遮挡组件50所覆盖的极耳31的宽度,也就是说,D1为第二极耳312的宽度,D2为注液孔411的直径,D3为邻近遮挡组件50的极耳31到注液孔411之间的距离,如图4中D3为第二极耳312到注液孔411边缘间的最小距离,一般来说,不同型号的电池单体200,第二极耳312到注液孔411的距离可能不同,同种型号的电池单体200,第二极耳312到注液孔411的距离相对固定,常规电池单体200上第二极耳312到注液孔411的距离范围为3-5mm,d为上述遮挡组件50第一侧边511与注液孔411间的距离。使用该宽度的遮挡组件50,可以保证遮挡组件50良好盖于注液孔411上,保证遮挡组件50的第一侧边511与注液孔411间的距离,以更好地缓冲注入电解液,而且可以电解液从遮挡组件50的第二侧边512流出的阻力较大,这样可以仅使少量的电解液流至第二极耳312处,以对第二极耳312及电极组件30起到保护作用。
电极组件30在制作成型后,且压实之前,极片与隔膜处于较为自由的状态,电极组件30呈现蓬松状态,特别卷绕成型的电极组件30的最内圈极片与隔膜间会发生张口。此状态下电极组件30若发生不当转移,易导致极片发生滑移,隔膜发生翻折。
在一些实施例中,请参阅图4、图5和图6,电池单体200还包括绝缘胶带61,各组电极组件30的第二端302粘贴有至少一道绝缘胶带61,绝缘胶带61的两端贴于相应组电极组件30的相对两侧面。也就是说,绝缘胶带61的两端贴于相应一组电极组件30的相对两侧面。当一组电极组件中包括一个电极组件30时,绝缘胶带61贴于该电极组件30的相对两侧面。当一组电极组件中包括多个电极组件30时,这些电极组件30堆叠设置,绝缘胶带61与该组电极组件中多个电极组件30的第二端302的端面均粘贴相连,而绝缘胶带61的两端贴于堆叠的一组电极组件中处于最外侧的两个侧面上。
绝缘胶带61是指具有绝缘特性的胶带,如绝缘胶带61可以是树脂胶带,也可以是其他塑料胶带等。绝缘胶带61具有长度方向与宽度方向,绝缘胶带61长度方向的两端为绝缘胶带61的两端,绝缘胶带61长度方向的两侧为绝缘胶带61的两侧,绝缘胶带61的一侧的边缘为绝缘胶带61长度方向的侧边。
各组电极组件30的第二端302粘贴至少一道绝缘胶带61,可以将各组中电极组件30的第二端302使用绝缘胶带61束缚,不仅可以将各组中电极组件30的隔膜束缚在相应极片之间,以更好地避免隔膜翻折,而可以方便两组电极组件30折叠合芯,便于组装。
在一些实施例中,各组电极组件30的第二端302粘贴一道绝缘胶带61,安装方便。可以理解地,各组电极组件30的第二端302可以粘贴两道、三道等数量的绝缘胶带61。
在一些实施例中,请参阅图4、图5和图6,绝缘胶带61贴于对应电极组件30的侧面的长度大于3mm。如绝缘胶带61贴于对应电极组件30的侧面的长度为M1,一组电极组件30的整体厚度为M2,绝缘胶带61的长度为M,则M=M2+2*M1,M1>3mm,这样可以保证绝缘胶带61的端部与电极组件30粘接的强度,以更好的将电极组件30的第二端302束缚住。如,当一个电极组件30的厚度为H,而一组电极组件仅包括一个电极组件30,则M2=H。当一个电极组件30的厚度为H,而一组电极组件仅包括P个电极组件30,则M2=P*H。
在一些实施例中,当各组电极组件中仅包括一个电极组件30时,该电极组件30上对应绝缘胶带61贴于该电极组件30的第二端302,并且绝缘胶带61的两端贴于该电极组件30的相对两侧面,则上述一组电极组件30的厚度M2为该电极组件30的厚度。
在一些实施例中,请参阅图4、图5和图6,各绝缘胶带61的宽度N小于50mm。这样在安装绝缘胶带61时,可以方便粘贴绝缘胶带61,并且可以方便控制贴合于电极组件30上绝缘胶带61覆盖的宽度。
在一些实施例中,请参阅图4,电池单体200还包括两个转接片43,两个转接片43分别与两个电极端子42对应,各转接片43与对应电极端子42相连,并且各转接片43与对应极耳31相连,也就是说,各极耳31通过转接片43与对应电极端子42相连,以方便极耳31与电极端子42的连接,连接更为稳固。为了更于描述,与第一电极端子421相连的转接片43称为第一转接片431,而第一极耳311与第一转接片431相连;与第二电极端子422相连的转接片43称为第二转接片432,而第二极耳312与第二转接片432相连。
请参阅图7,图7为本申请一些实施例的电池单体200合芯后的侧视结构示意图。在这些实施例中,端盖41上朝向遮挡组件50的一面上设有导流槽412,导流槽412的一端与 注液孔411连通,遮挡组件50至少覆盖导流槽412的部分区域。导流槽412为设于端盖41的设置遮挡组件50的一面上的凹槽。导流槽412的一端与注液孔411连通,遮挡组件50覆盖导流槽412的部分区域会形成通道,在注入电解液时,遮挡组件50在缓冲电解液后,电解液可以转向流入导流槽412中,通过导流槽412来引导与分散电解液到设定位置,便于电解液的加注,提升电解液的加注效率,另外,由于遮挡组件50承受注液孔411处加注电解液的冲击,吸收注液孔411处电解液的冲击能量,对电解液进行了缓冲,使得电解液从导流槽412流出的冲击力非常小,从而可以避免电解液冲刷电极组件30导致隔膜翻折。
在上述实施例中,当遮挡组件50包括遮挡件51时,导流槽412设于遮挡件51上。
请参阅图8,图8为本申请一些实施例的电池单体200合芯前的结构示意图。在这些实施例中,导流槽412包括第一导流槽4121,第一导流槽4121的一端与注液孔411连通,第一导流槽4121的另一端伸出遮挡组件51远离邻近极耳31的一侧。也就是说,第一导流槽4121的另一端伸出遮挡组件51远离邻近第二极耳312的一侧,即第一导流槽4121的另一端从遮挡组件51的第二侧边512伸出。通过第一导流槽4121的设置,在注入电解液时,可以引导更多的电解液从遮挡组件51的第二侧边512所在一侧流出,以便加注电解液,避免电解液加注时,电解液的冲击力冲开遮挡组件51与端盖41间于注液孔411与第二极耳312间的区域时,此时的冲击力相对较大,会对第二极耳312产生较大的冲击,而设置第一导流槽4121,可以使电解液冲开注液孔411与第二极耳312间的区域的遮挡组件51的力度较小,以减小对第二极耳312的冲击,减小对第二极耳312的影响。
在上述实施例中,当遮挡组件50包括遮挡件51时,第一导流槽4121设于遮挡件51上。
在一些实施例中,第一导流槽4121可以设为一个。当然,第一导流槽4121的数量也可以为多个,在此不作限定。
请参阅图9,图9为本申请一些实施例的电池单体200合芯前的结构示意图。在这些实施例中,导流槽412包括第二导流槽4122,第二导流槽4122的一端与注液孔411连通,第二导流槽4122的另一端邻近端盖41的侧边。设置第二导流槽4122,在注入电解液时,可以引导电解液流向邻近端盖41的侧边,再冲开第二导流槽4122的另一端与端盖41对应侧边之间的遮挡组件50,进一步吸收电解液的冲击能量,减小电解液的冲击力,以分散电解液,便于电解液的加注,也便于电极组件30更均匀吸收电解液。
在上述实施例中,当遮挡组件50包括遮挡件51时,第二导流槽4122设于遮挡件51上。
在一些实施例中,第二导流槽4122的一端与注液孔411连通,第二导流槽4122的另一端延伸至端盖41的侧边。这样在注入电解液时,可以引导电解液流向端盖41的侧边,以分散电解液,便于电解液的加注,也便于电极组件30更均匀吸收电解液。
在一些实施例中,请再次参阅图7,导流槽412包括第三导流槽4123,第三导流槽4123的一端与注液孔411连通,第三导流槽4123的另一端延伸至邻近遮挡组件50的极耳31处,也就是说,遮挡组件50的第一侧边511与第一极耳311间隔设置,遮挡组件50的第二侧边511贴于第二极耳312上时,第三导流槽4123的另一端延伸至第二极耳312处。设置第三导流槽4123,在注入电解液时,可以引导电解液流向第二极耳312处,以分散电解液,便于电解液的加注,也便于电极组件30更均匀吸收电解液。
在上述实施例中,当遮挡组件50包括遮挡件51时,第三导流槽4123设于遮挡件51上。遮挡组件50的第一侧边511为遮挡件51的第一侧边,遮挡组件50的第二侧边512为遮挡件51的第二侧边。
在一些实施例中,请参阅图9,端盖41上可以同时设置第一导流槽4121、第二导流槽4122和第三导流槽4123,以更好的分散电解液,并提升电解液的加注效率。可以理解地,端盖41上可以仅设置第一导流槽4121、第二导流槽4122和第三导流槽4123中的一种或两种。
请参阅图10,图10为本申请一些实施例的电池单体200合芯前的结构示意图。在这些实施例中,遮挡组件50的第二侧边512与第二极耳312间隔设置。这种结构可以使用宽度更小的遮挡组件50,并且在加注电解液时,遮挡组件50在注液孔411处吸收电解液的冲击力后,电解液会更多地从遮挡组件50的相对两侧边流出。
请参阅图11,图11为本申请一些实施例的电池单体200合芯前的结构示意图。在这些实施例中,各极耳31与对应转接片43连接区域覆盖有绝缘片45。在极耳31与转接片43的连接区域覆盖绝缘片45,可以保护极耳31与转接片43的连接处,并且可以避免极耳31与转接片43的连接处影响电极组件30,提升制作电池1001的安全性。例如,极耳31与转接片43的焊接区域会存在毛刺焊渣,设置绝缘片45覆盖该区域,可以避免极耳31与转接片43的焊接区域的毛刺焊渣损伤电极组件30,提升安全性。
绝缘片45是指具有绝缘特性的胶片,如绝缘片45可以是树脂胶片,也可以是其他塑料胶片等。
在一些实施例中,当遮挡组件50覆盖第二极耳312时,遮挡组件50贴于与第二极耳312对应的绝缘片45上,这样可以通过绝缘片45更好地保护第二极耳312。
请参阅图12,图12为本申请一些实施例的电池单体200合芯前的结构示意图。在这些实施例中,端盖组件40还包括隔离件44,端盖41安装在隔离件44上,通过隔离件44来支撑端盖41,而且隔离件44可以用于隔离壳体70内的电连接部件与端盖41,以降低短路的风险。示例性的,隔离件44可以是塑料、橡胶等。
隔离件44的宽度方向与端盖41的宽度方向一致,隔离件44的长度方向与端盖41的长度方向一致。隔离件44长度方向的两端为隔离件44的两端。
在一些实施例中,一般来说,隔离件44会支撑住端盖41的边缘,并且隔离件41往往会凸出端盖41朝向电极组件30的一面。遮挡组件50的与隔离件44间隔设置,这样在电极组件30装配时,隔离件44不会顶动遮挡组件50,以使遮挡组件50可以良好贴于端盖41上。
在一些实施例中,遮挡组件50的侧边与隔离件44靠近该遮挡组件50的一端之间的距离K大于3mm。从而在电极组件30安装时,可以保证隔离件44不会顶动遮挡组件50,遮挡组件50良好贴于端盖41上。
请参阅图13,图13为本申请一些实施例的电池单体200合芯前的结构示意图。在这些实施例中,各组电极组件30的第二端302可以粘贴两道绝缘胶带61,设置两道绝缘胶带61,可以更稳定地束缚电极组件30的第二端302,将隔膜束缚在极片之间,以更好地避免隔膜翻折。可以理解地,各组电极组件30的第二端302可以粘贴三道、四道等数量的绝缘胶带61。
在一些实施例中,各电极组件30上绝缘胶带61的宽度之和小于电极组件30的宽度。将绝缘胶带61的宽度之和设置小于电极组件30的宽度,这样可以使得绝缘胶带61不会完全覆盖电极组件30的第二端302,使电极组件30的第二端302于绝缘胶带61之外的区域可以供电解液进入电极组件30,以便电极组件30吸收电解液。
请参阅图14,图14为本申请一些实施例的电池单体200中电极组件30的结构示意图,图中示出的绝缘胶带61覆盖电极组件30的第二端302的端面的区域。在这些实施例中,绝缘胶带61上对应于电极组件30第二端302的端面的区域开设有多个开孔611。通过开孔611的设置,可以便于加注的电解液进入电极组件30,可以便于电极组件30吸收电解液。
在一些实施例中,绝缘胶带61覆盖电极组件30的第二端302的端面的部分区域,这样不仅可以使电极组件30的第二端302于绝缘胶带61之外的区域可以供电解液进入电极组件30,而且开孔611的设置也可以供电解液进入电极组件30,可以便于电极组件30吸收电解液。
请参阅图15,图15为本申请一些实施例的电池单体200中电极组件30的结构示意图。在这些实施例中,绝缘胶带61覆盖电极组件30的第二端302,绝缘胶带61上对应于电极组件30第二端302的端面的区域开设有多个开孔611,这样可以更好的将更稳定地束缚电极组件30的第二端302,将隔膜束缚在极片之间,以更好地避免隔膜翻折。
在一些实施例中,绝缘胶带61上对应于电极组件30第二端302的端面的位置上,仅部分区域设有开孔611,以保证绝缘胶带61的良好地结构强度,以更稳定束缚电极组件30的第二端302。
请参阅图16,图16为本申请一些实施例的电池单体200中电极组件30的结构示意图。在这些实施例中,绝缘胶带61上对应于电极组件30第二端302的端面的整个区域均分布有开孔611,以提升电解液进入电极组件30的能力,便于电极组件30吸收电解液。
请参阅图17,图17为本申请一些实施例的电池单体200合芯后的侧视结构示意图。在这些实施例中,电池单体200可以包括多个电极组件30。这些电极组件30分成两组,各组电极组件中包括多个电极组件30时,这些电极组件30堆叠设置,绝缘胶带61与该组电极组件中多个电极组件30的第二端302的端面均粘贴相连,而绝缘胶带61的两端贴于堆叠的对应组电极组件中处于最外侧的两个侧面上。这处结构可以将各组电极组件的第二端302束缚,并且便于各组电极组件的集成,也便于两组电极组件的折叠合芯。
在上述实施例中,各组电极组件中包括两个电极组件30,可以理解地,各组电极组件中可以包括三个、四个等数量的电极组件30,在此不作限定。
可以理解地,在一些实施例中,当各组电极组件中包括多个电极组件30时,也可以在各电极组件30上单独粘贴绝缘胶带61,以分别将各电极组件30的第二端302通过绝缘胶带61束缚,以防在移动电极组件30时,导致电极组件30的第二端302中隔膜翻折。
请参阅图18,图18为本申请一些实施例的电池单体200的侧视结构示意图。在这些实施例中,电池单体200仅包括一个电极组件30。或者说,当电极组件30为多个时,多个电极组件可以堆叠形成一个整体,从而在整体上看作一个电极组件30。当设置一个电极组件30时,遮挡组件50盖于端盖41的注液孔411上,并且遮挡组件50的两端与该电极组件30的第一端301的端面的两侧相连,这样在加注电解液时,遮挡组件50也可以对加注的电解液进行缓冲与分散,避免电解液直接冲刷电极组件30,进而避免因电解液冲 击而导致隔膜翻折。
在上述实施例中,遮挡组件50包括遮挡件51和缓冲件52,遮挡组件50整体为片状结构时,遮挡件51盖于端盖41的注液孔411上,遮挡件51两端与的两个缓冲件52弯曲与该电极组件30的第一端301的端面的两侧相连。
在一些实施例中,当电池单体200仅包括一个电极组件30时,也可以在该电极组件30的第二端302粘贴有至少一道绝缘胶带61,并使绝缘胶带61的两端贴于该电极组件30的相对两侧面,以通过绝缘胶带61将该电极组件30的第二端302束缚,避免电极组件30的第二端302中的隔膜翻折。
根据本申请的一些实施例,本申请还提供了一种电池,包括以上任一方案所述的电池单体。
