- the uneven setting increases the friction between the second part 32 and the second sealing ring 42 and increases the connection area between the second part 32 and the second sealing ring 42, resulting in stronger sealing performance.
- the portion of the second part 32 that contacts the second sealing ring 42 may be provided with a first concave-convex structure 321, thereby increasing the connection area between the second part 32 and the second sealing ring 42.

- Drop test method The lithium-ion battery was pretreated at 25°C and left to stand at room temperature for 60 minutes. The voltage of the lithium-ion battery before the drop test was measured. The lithium-ion battery was placed in a fixture and dropped freely from a height of 1.5m on the ground using a drop device in the following order: head-tail-right corner of head-right corner of tail-left corner of head-left corner of tail (angle: 45 ⁇ 15°), repeated 6 times. After the drop test, the battery was left to stand at room temperature for 24 hours. The appearance of the top terminal of the lithium-ion battery was checked and photographed before and after the test.
- test pass criteria were: no smoke or leakage at the top terminal, and the connection between the terminal and the positive inner tab of the lithium-ion battery was undamaged and unbroken when disassembled. 20 lithium-ion batteries were tested, and the number of batteries that failed the test was X, with a failure rate of X/20. The test results are shown in Table 1 below.
- the first concave-convex structure makes the electrode post stronger, reducing deformation and tilting of the electrode post when the lithium-ion battery is impacted, thereby reducing the gap caused by deformation and tilting, and thus reducing the risk of battery leakage.
- Comparative Example 1 the absence of a first hole hinders the electrical connection between the electrode post and the inner positive electrode tab, making it difficult to increase the connection area and resulting in low connection strength. Furthermore, a large space is required for electrical connection operations within the lithium-ion battery casing. This reserved space may be used for electrode assembly movement, making the connection between the electrode post and the inner positive electrode tab prone to damage or breakage during drop tests. The reserved space also affects the energy density of the lithium-ion battery. Comparative Example 1 also lacks a first concave-convex structure, resulting in lower electrode post strength and susceptibility to deformation. Deformation of the electrode post during impact increases the installation gap between the electrode post and the casing, leading to a higher impact failure rate. Additionally, the small connection area between the electrode post and the sealing ring results in poor sealing, increasing the risk of leakage and smoke during drop tests.
- Comparative Example 2 only the first hole is provided without the first concave-convex structure. This results in lower pole strength, making it prone to deformation. Upon impact, the deformation of the pole increases the installation gap between the pole and the housing, leading to a higher failure rate. Furthermore, the connection area between the pole and the sealing ring is small, resulting in poor sealing.
- a first concave-convex structure is provided but a first hole is not provided. It is difficult to electrically connect the electrode post and the inner tab of the positive electrode. Space needs to be reserved in the casing for the electrical connection between the electrode post and the inner tab of the positive electrode. The electrical connection operation is inconvenient, which not only affects the energy density of the lithium-ion battery, but also reduces the connection area, causing damage and breakage at the connection between the electrode post and the inner tab of the positive electrode.
- the strength of the electrode post is improved, and the connection area between the second sealing ring and the electrode post is increased, resulting in stronger sealing performance.
- the length of the second part can be reduced to reduce the space occupied by the electrode post, thereby improving the energy density of the lithium-ion battery.
- the setting of the first hole eliminates the need to reserve additional space for the electrical connection between the electrode post and the inner tab of the positive electrode, which can further improve the energy density of the lithium-ion battery.
- Example 7 the risk of drop failure is lower than that of Example 7. This may be because in Example 7, the electrode length is too short, which may reduce the connection area and have little effect on improving sealing performance.
- the risk of drop failure is the same as that of Example 1, but in Example 1, the electrode is shorter and occupies less space, allowing the lithium-ion battery of Example 1 to have a higher energy density. Therefore, in this application, the length L2 of the second part of the electrode can be selected as 0.5mm ⁇ L2 ⁇ 5mm.

二次电池作为移动设备的电源之源是保证移动设备正常使用的关键,同时移动设备例如手机、笔记本电脑等设备普及度越来越高,终端用户对二次电池的大容量和续航要求也越来越高。硬壳二次电池相比软包二次电池,可以设计达到更高的容量。
传统的硬壳二次电池需要设置极柱,极柱需要与二次电池内部电极组件的极耳焊接连接,以引出极性。本申请发明人通过研究发现,在极柱与内部极耳焊接的过程中,需要对二次电池的壳体预留较大的空间,以实现极柱与极耳的焊接操作。然而,壳体的空间有限,焊接操作不便,易导致极柱与极耳之间的连接强度不佳,并且预留较大的空间会导致二次电池的能量密度降低。本申请发明人将极柱设置为中空极柱,也即在极柱的外表面设置开孔,在壳体外,可直接在开孔处采用穿透焊实现极柱与极耳的电连接,不需要预留额外的空间,可提高二次电池的能量密度,并且操作更为简单方便,有利于提高极柱与极耳之间的连接强度。然而,中空极柱的设置,使得极柱的强度减弱,在极柱压紧铆合时,极柱与密封圈易发生变形错位,导致密封性变差。

请参照图3,密封组件40包括第一密封圈41、第二密封圈42以及第三密封圈43。第一密封圈41设置于第一壁面121与第一部分31之间,用于分隔第一部分31与壳体10。第二密封圈42环绕第二部分32设置,用于分隔第二部分32与壳体10。第三密封圈43设置于第二壁面122与第三部分33之间,用于分隔第三部分33与壳体10。
其中,第一密封圈41、第二密封圈42以及第三密封圈43可采用聚丙烯(PP)、聚乙烯(PE)、聚苯乙烯(PS)、聚氯乙烯(PVC)、聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)、聚酰胺(PA)或酚醛树脂(PF)中的至少一种。示例性的,采用酚醛树脂,使得上述各密封圈具有较佳的耐热性以及电绝缘性。
在一些实施例中,请参照图3至图4,二次电池100还包括垫圈50,垫圈50设置于第三部分33与第三密封圈43之间。在铆压极柱30时,垫圈50可隔绝第三部分33与第三密封圈43,减少铆压时第三部分33对第三密封圈43的直接压接损坏。其中,垫圈50可采用金属垫圈50,例如采用不锈钢、碳钢或铜等金属材料,适用于高压等工况。
在其他一些实施例中,垫圈50也可采用橡胶、塑料或者聚四氟乙烯等。可选的,第一部分31与第一密封圈41之间也可设置垫圈50,减少第一部分31对第一密封圈41的直接压接损坏,提高密封组件40的完整性。
在一些实施例中,极柱30可采用中空结构,请参照图3,极柱30还包括第一孔34,第一孔34的开口位于第三部分33的背离第二部分32的表面。其中,第一孔34可贯穿第三部分33,或者,第一孔34自第三部分33延伸于第二部分32内,或者第一孔34同时贯穿第三部分33和第二部分32,再或者第一孔34贯穿第三部分33、第二部分32并延伸于第一部分31内。
中空结构的极柱30可便于从壳体10的外部实现对极柱30与电极组件20的电连接,电连接方式包括但不限于焊接、导电胶粘接或卡接等。示例性的,以焊接为例,焊接设备在壳体10外并自伸入极柱30的第一孔34,通过将电极组件20的极耳21(极耳与正极极片或负极极片电连接,作为连接的转接件)抵靠在极柱30的下端,然后进行激光穿透焊接即可使得极柱30与极耳焊接固定。不需要在壳体10内预留空间,不仅操作方便,还可提高二次电池100的能量密度。同时,因极柱30与电极组件20的电连接操作更为简单方便,可便于极柱30与电极组件20的连接强度。焊接方式并不限于激光焊接,还可采用超声波焊接或电子束焊接等。
在一些实施例中,请进一步参照图4和图5(图5中为极柱30铆压结构的部分爆炸示意图,各密封圈仅示出了部分),第二部分32的外表面设置有第一凹凸结构321,第一凹凸结构321的设置提高了第二部分32的强度,可减少第二部分32的变形,例如减少极柱30的铆压或者碰撞变形等,进而减少因极柱30变形而产生的安装间隙,可提高第二密封圈42与极柱30之间的密封性能。因极柱30的第二部分32设置有第一凹凸结构321,使得极柱30的强度更高,其抗变形能力更强,即使采用中空结构,极柱同样具有较高的强度。
在一些实施例中,沿第一方向X,第一凹凸结构321的投影与第一孔34重叠,第一凹凸结构321分布在第一孔34的外侧,减少第一孔34对极柱30强度的影响。需要说明,极柱30设置有第一孔34的部分,其强度较弱,而未设置第一孔34的部分,仍具有较高的强度。本实施例中,可仅在极柱30设置有第一孔34的外侧设置第一凹凸结构321,减少第一孔34对极柱30强度的影响,而未设置第一孔34的部分(例如第一部分31或第二部分32中第一孔34未到达的部分)无需设置第一孔34,减少第一凹凸结构321所占用减少,减少对二次电池100能量密度的影响。
其中,第一方向X与第一壁面121至第二壁面122的方向(第三方向Z)垂直。再例如,第一方向X、第二方向Y以及第三方向Z两两相互垂直;沿第二方向Y,第一凹凸结构321的投影也与第一孔34重叠。
上述第一密封圈41、第二密封圈42以及第三密封圈43均可采用柔性材质,以充分填充极柱30与壳体10之间的安装间隙。当第二密封圈42环绕设置于第二部分32上时,第二密封圈42可填充第一凹凸结构321,并与第一凹凸结构321相配合,第一凹凸结构321的设置可增大第二密封圈42与第二部分32的连接面积,可进一步提高第二密封圈42与极柱30之间的密封性能。
第一凹凸结构321可以是在第二部分32外表面凸出的凸起部和/或凹陷的凹陷槽,凹凸不平的设置提高了第二部分32与第二密封圈42之间的摩擦力并增大了第二部分32与第二密封圈42之间的连接面积,其密封性能更强。
在其他一些实施例,第二部分32与第二密封圈42接触的部分均可设置第一凹凸结构321,进而增加第二部分32与第二密封圈42之间的连接面积,接触面积更大则密封性能更强。因第三密封圈43设置于第二壁面122与第三部分33之间,因此第三密封圈43也可能与第二部分32接触,第二部分32与第三密封圈43接触的部分也可设置第一凹凸结构321,进一步提高密封性能的同时,提高极柱30强度。
另外,因上述第一凹凸结构321的设置,极柱30的强度得到显著提高,以及第二密封圈42与极柱30的连接面积增大,密封性能更强,因此可减小第二部分32的长度,减小极柱30所占用的空间,进一步提高二次电池100的能量密度。例如,沿第一壁面121至第二壁面122的方向(第三方向Z),第二部分32的长度为L2,0.5mm≤L2≤5mm,在提高密封性能的同时提高二次电池100的能量密度。其中,第一部分31的长度为L1,0.1mm≤L1≤3mm;以及,第三部分33的长度为L3,0.1mm≤L3≤3mm,减少第一部分31与第三部分33的变形歪斜,提高密封性能。
而对于上述第一孔34的深度,第一孔34的深度过小,难以对极柱30进行焊接,可能导致极柱30与电极组件20的电连接不稳定;而第一孔34的深度过大,则可能导致第一部分31过薄,使得第一部分31强度降低,而第一部分31作为与电极组件20电连接的部件,强度降低可能导致极柱30与电极组件20的连接处易发生破损断裂。本申请的实施例中,请参照图3和图4,第一孔34的深度D选择L3+L2/2≤D≤L3+L2,不仅便于极柱30与电极组件20穿透焊接,提高连接强度,同时使得极柱30的第一部分31具有较高的强度,减少极柱30与电极组件20连接处的破损断裂。
在一些实施例中,请进一步参照图6,沿第一方向X,第一壁部12的投影与第一孔34重叠,以便于极柱30与电极组件20的电连接并可使得极柱30具有较高的强度。
在其他一些实施例中,第一孔34具有底壁341,沿第一壁面121至第二壁面122的方向(第三方向Z),底壁341与开口相对设置,第一孔34的底壁341位于第一壁部12的背离第三部分33的一侧。以焊接为例,焊接设备可在第一孔34处直接作用于底壁341,以进行穿透焊接,通过将底壁341设置于第一壁部12的背离第三部分33的一侧,可降低穿透难度,并预留足够的第一孔34的空间,以便于极柱30与电极组件20的电连接,提高连接强度,同时使得极柱30具有较高的强度,以减少极柱30的变形。
上述第一凹凸结构321的设置,不仅可提高极柱30的强度,减少极柱30的铆压变形,还可增大第二密封圈42与第二极柱30的连接面积,提高密封性能。同时,因极柱30的强度提高以及密封性能的提高,可减小极柱30长度,减少极柱30所占用空间,进而提高二次电池100的能量密度。以及,可在极柱30的第三部分33设置第一孔34,可方便极柱30与电极组件20的电连接,不需要预留电连接的操作空间,可进一步提高二次电池100的能量密度。
在一些实施例中,第二密封圈42粘接在第二部分32与壳体10之间,可提高壳体10与第二部分32之间的结合强度,减少极柱30歪斜变形。类似的,第一密封圈41粘接于第一部分31与壳体10的第一壁面121之间,第三密封圈43粘接于第三部分33与壳体10的第二壁面122之间,进一步提高极柱30与壳体10的结合强度,减少极柱30变形,进而提高密封性能。
在一些实施例中,请参照图4和图5,第二密封圈42设置有第二凹凸结构421,第二凹凸结构421与第一凹凸结构321相适配,当第二密封圈42套设置第二部分32时,第二凹凸结构421可直接与第一凹凸结构321相嵌合,进而充分填充第二部分32与壳体10之间的间隙,并可增大第二密封圈42与第二部分32的连接面积,提高极柱30与壳体10之间的密封性能。
需要说明的是,上述嵌合可以是第一凹凸结构321与第二凹凸结构421的形状尺寸相匹配,例如第一凹凸结构321和第二凹凸结构421均具有凸起部分与凹陷部分,第一凹凸结构321的凸起部分填充第二凹凸结构421的凹陷部分,第二凹凸结构421的凸起部分填充第一凹凸结构321的凹陷部分即可视为嵌合。上述相匹配可以是指形状尺寸一致或近似一致,当凸起部分填充凹陷部分时,在满足二次电池100整体密封要求的情况下,凸起部分与凹陷部分之间具有微小间隙和/或没有间隙,当具有微小间隙时,该微小间隙被第二密封圈42与第二部分32覆盖。
在一些实施例中,第一凹凸结构321可以是设置于第二部分32外表面的外螺纹,第二凹凸结构421为设置于第二密封圈42的内螺纹,第二密封圈42可直接与第二部分32螺纹连接。安装时,可将第二密封圈42套设在第二部分32的外表面,再通过旋转第二密封圈42使得第二密封圈42与第二部分32螺纹连接,安装操作方便快捷。将极柱30置于第一壁部12的第一通孔13处,通过铆压分别形成上述第一部分31、第二部分32以及第三部分33,铆压时会使得第二部分32与第一孔34的内壁之间收紧,使得第二密封圈42充分填充第二部分32与壳体10之间的间隙,提高密封性能。
外螺纹在第二部分32上凸出,第二密封圈42可与第二部分32过盈配合,当旋转第二密封圈42使得第二密封圈42与第二部分32螺纹连接时,过盈配合可充分填充第二密封圈42与第二部分32之间的间隙,进而提高密封性能。
在一些实施例中,第一密封圈41可与第二密封圈42一体设置,安装时可直接从壳体10内腔11将第二密封圈42设置于第一通孔13;或者,第二密封圈42与第三密封圈43一体设置,安装时可直接从壳体10外将第二密封圈42设置于第一通孔13。或者,第一密封圈41、第二密封圈42以及第三密封圈43一体设置,利用各密封圈的柔性特性,在壳体10压缩第一部分31后可直接将第一部分31设置于壳体10的内腔11,并使得第二部分32位于第一通孔13处。
在其他一些实施例中,也可采用第一密封圈41、第二密封圈42以及第三密封圈43分体设置,可首先将第二密封圈42环绕设置于第二部分32,在铆压时将第一密封圈41设置于第一部分31与第一壁面121之间,以及将第三密封圈43设置第三部分33与第二壁面122之间。
在一些实施例中,请参照图4至图7,第一凹凸结构321包括第一凸部3211,第一凸部3211的设置使得第二部分32的强度更高。相邻两第一凸部3211之间形成有凹陷,上述第三密封圈43可嵌入至凹陷中,进而提高第三密封圈43与第二部分32之间的连接面积。
对于第一凸部3211的形状,沿第二方向Y观察,第一凸部3211可设置三角形、矩形或梯形等。示例性的,以梯形为例,第一凸部3211具有靠近第一孔34的底部3213以及远离第一孔34的顶部3212。沿第一壁面121至第二壁面122的方向,底部3213的宽度为W1,顶部3212的宽度为W2,W2≤W1。顶部3212的宽度可设置得更大,便于提高第二部分32的强度,提高第二部分32的抗变形能力。顶部3212的宽度更小,便于第二密封圈42嵌入至相邻两个第一凸部3211之间,便于填充极柱30与第二密封圈42之间的间隙,提高密封性能。上述第一方向X、第二方向Y、第三方向Z两两相互垂直。
其中,0.1mm≤W1≤1mm,不仅可提高第二部分32的强度,还可便于第二密封圈42与第一凹凸结构321的嵌入,提高密封性能。
对于第一凸部3211的高度,第一凸部3211的高度过大,第二密封圈42难以安装于第二部分32;第一凸部3211的高度过小,连接面积则较小,不利于提高密封性能。本申请中的实施例中,请参照图7,沿第一方向X,底部3213至顶部3212的距离为H,0.1mm≤H≤1mm。可在便于第二密封圈42安装的同时,方便第二密封圈42与第一凹凸结构321的充分啮合,提高链接面积,进而提高密封性能。
第二部分32设置于第一通孔13,第二部分32作为内部第一部分31与外部第三部分33的连接件,其强度的大小也影响着极柱30的抗变形能力。本申请的实施例中,极柱30采用的是中空结构的极柱30,第一孔34的设置可实现在壳体10外对极柱30与电极组件20电连接。
本申请的实施例中,请参照图5,沿第一孔34至第一凹凸结构321的方向(第一方向X),第二部分32的厚度为T,0.5mm≤T≤2mm。结合第一凹凸结构321,中空结构的极柱30也可具有较高的强度,足以减少极柱30变形或歪斜,并且中空结构的极柱3使得极柱30与电极组件20的电连接更为便利。需要说明的是,上述第二部分32的厚度是不包括第一凹凸结构321的。
本申请的第二方面,还提出了一种电子设备,包括上述第一方面任一实施例所述的二次电池100。本申请实施例的电子设备没有特别限定,其可以是现有技术中已知的任何电子设备。例如,电子设备包括但不限于蓝牙耳机、手机、平板、笔记本电脑、电动玩具、电动工具、电瓶车、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。
实施例1:锂离子电池的制备
<正极极片的制备>:
将正极活性材料磷酸铁锂、正极导电剂乙炔黑、正极粘结剂聚偏二氟乙烯(PVDF,重均分子量为5×105)按照质量比94:3:3进行混合,加入N-甲基吡咯烷酮(NMP)作为溶剂,在真空搅拌机作用下搅拌至固含量为75wt%且体系均匀的正极浆料。选用厚度为8μm的铝箔作为正极集流体,并对铝箔裁剪出正极内极耳。将正极浆料均匀涂布在正极集流体铝箔的一个表面上,110℃条件下烘干,得到单面涂布正极活性物质层(厚度80μm)的正极极片。之后,在该铝箔的另一个表面上重复以上步骤,得到双面涂布正极活性物质层的正极极片。
<负极极片的制备>
将负极活性材料石墨粉末、导电剂导电炭黑(Super P)、粘结剂丁苯橡胶(SBR)按照重量比97.5:1:1.5进行混合,然后加入去离子水作为溶剂,调配成固含量为50wt%的负极浆料,并搅拌均匀。选用厚度为5μm的铜箔作为负极集流体,并对铜箔裁剪出负极内极耳。将负极浆料均匀涂覆在负极集流体铜箔的一个表面上,90℃条件下烘干,得到负极活性物质重量为9.1mg/cm2单面负极极片。以上步骤完成后,即已完成负极极片的单面涂布。之后,在该负极极片的另一个表面上重复以上步骤,即得到双面涂布负极活性物质层的负极极片。
<隔离膜的制备>
以厚度为8μm的聚乙烯(PE)多孔薄膜作为隔离膜。
<电解液制备>
在干燥氩气气氛中,将碳酸乙烯酯、碳酸甲乙酯和碳酸二乙酯以质量比30:50:20混合得到有机溶液,然后向有机溶剂中加入锂盐六氟磷酸锂溶解并混合均匀,得到锂盐的浓度为1.15mol/L的电解液。
<锂离子电池的制备>
将上述制备得到的隔离膜、正极极片、隔离膜、负极极片按顺序叠好,卷绕得到电极组件,对电极组件进行热压,压力5MPa,温度65℃,保压时间10s。
将电极组件放入开设有第一通孔的钢质壳体中,采用中空结构的极柱,并将极柱置于壳体的第一通孔处,极柱一端超出第一通孔并位于壳体内,另一端超出第一通孔并位于壳体外。其中极柱位于第一通孔的部分上设置有凹凸不平的第一凹凸结构,位于壳体外的部分则开设有第一孔。
对极柱套设密封圈,密封圈延伸自壳体内延伸至壳体外。采用铆压设备对极柱的两端进行铆压并压平,使得极柱形成第一部分、第二部分以及第三部分,其中第二部分的长度为5mm(可参照图4中沿第三方向Z的长度),第一部分长度为0.5mm,第三部分长度为0.8mm。第一部分与壳体之间的密封圈为第一密封圈,第二部分与壳体之间的密封圈为第二密封圈,第三部分与壳体之间的密封圈为第三密封圈。在第一孔处采用激光穿透焊将极柱与上述正极内极耳焊接,并将壳体与上述负极内极耳直接连接。在80℃下脱去水分后,注入电解液并封装。
对比例1,与实施例1不同的是,极柱未设置第一孔,也未设置第一凹凸结构。
对比例2至3以及实施例2至8的相关参数可参照如下表1。
跌落测试方法:将锂离子电池在25℃下进行预处理,常温环境中静置60min后,测试跌落测试前锂离子电池的电压;将锂离子电池装入夹具中,采用跌落设备按照如下顺序从距离地面1.5m的位置自由跌落:头-尾-头右角-尾右角-头左角-尾左角(角度:45±15°),重复6次。跌落结束后,常温静置24h,测试前后均检查锂离子电池的顶部极柱处外观并拍照。测试通过判断标准:顶部极柱处不冒烟,不漏液,拆解锂离子电池,极柱与正极内极耳的连接处未破损未断裂。测试20个锂离子电池,未通过测试的电池数量为X个,测试失效率为X/20。测试结果如下表1所示。
表1
根据上述表1,结合实施例1至8以及对比例1至3可知,当采用极柱设置第一凹凸结构以及设置第一孔时,其测试失效率明显降低。这是因为第一凹凸结构的设置可增大第二密封圈与第二部分的连接面积,提高第二密封圈与极柱之间的密封性能,进而减少锂离子电池的漏液风险。并且,第一孔的设置便于从壳体外电连接极柱与正极内极耳,可方便提高极柱与正极内极耳的连接面积,进而提高连接强度,极柱与正极内极耳连接处破损断裂的风险更低。同时,第一凹凸结构的设置使得极柱强度更高,当锂离子电池发生碰撞时,可减少极柱变形歪斜,进而减少因变形歪斜产生的间隙,从而降低电池漏液风险。
对比例1中,未设置第一孔,不便于极柱与正极内极耳的电连接,难以提高极柱与正极内极耳的连接面积,连接强度不高,并且需要预留较大的空间以供在锂离子电池壳体内部进行电连接操作,该预留的空间可能作为电极组件活动的空间,以致于跌落测试时易发生极柱与正极内极耳连接处的破损、断裂,并且预留的空间会影响锂离子电池的能量密度。对比例1中也未设置第一凹凸结构,极柱强度较低,易发生变形,碰撞时极柱的变形则导致极柱与壳体之间安装间隙增大,碰撞失效率较高;并且极柱与密封圈之间的连接面积较小,导致密封性不佳,在跌落测试时,漏液冒烟风险提高。
对比例2中,仅设置有第一孔而未设置第一凹凸结构,极柱强度较低,易发生变形,碰撞时极柱的变形则导致极柱与壳体之间安装间隙增大,碰撞失效率较高。并且,并且极柱与密封圈之间的连接面积较小,密封性较差。
对比例3中,设置有第一凹凸结构而未设置第一孔,极柱与正极内极耳难以电连接,需要在壳体内预留空间以供极柱与正极内极耳的电连接,电连接操作不方便,不仅影响锂离子电池的能量密度,还会导致连接面积减小,导致极柱与正极内极耳的连接处发生破损断裂。
而上述各实施例中,因上述第一凹凸结构的设置,极柱的强度得到提高,以及第二密封圈与极柱的连接面积增大,密封性能更强,可适应性减小第二部分的长度,减小极柱所占用的空间,进而提高锂离子电池的能量密度,以及第一孔的设置,不需要预留额外的空间以供极柱与正极内极耳的电连接,可进一步提高锂离子电池能量密度。
结合实施例1至8,实施例1至6以及实施例8中,跌落失效风险低于实施例7,这可能是因为实施例7中,极柱长度太短,可能导致连接面积减少,对提高密封性能的效果不明显;而实施例8中,其跌落失效风险与实施例1一致,而实施例1中极柱更短,占用空间更小,实施例1的锂离子电池可具有更高的能量密度。因此本申请中,可选择极柱第二部分的长度L2为0.5mm≤L2≤5mm。
以上所述仅为本申请的实施例,并非因此限制本申请的专利范围,凡是利用本申请说明书及附图内容所作的等效结构或等效流程变换,或直接或间接运用在其他相关的技术领域,均同理包括在本申请的专利保护范围内。
