在成型电极组件时,通常将多个正极片、多个隔离件和多个负极片沿某一方向层叠,再放置于壳体中,将端盖组件盖合于壳体形成电池单体。随着电池单体的循环使用,电极组件会发生沿层叠方向的收缩膨胀。发明人发现,当电极组件中多个正极片、多个负极片以及多个隔离件的层叠方向与端盖组件盖合壳体的方向相平行时,电极组件膨胀时会对盖合于壳体的端盖组件产生向外的挤压力,最终作用于壳体和端盖组件之间的连接处,从而影响电池单体的结构稳定性。进一步地,发明人还发现,即使当电极组件中多个正极片、多个负极片以及多个隔离件的层叠方向与端盖组件盖合壳体的方向相垂直时,电极组件在循环使用过程中也容易产生大量的气体,又由于,在极片边缘处单位体积内的正极活性物质和负极活性物质的量较少,使得单位时间内所产生的气体较少,气压较小,气体容易沿正极片和负极片的延伸方向排出至电极组件朝向端盖组件的一侧,随着气体的累积,也会对盖合于壳体的端盖组件产生向外的挤压力,并最终作用于壳体和端盖组件之间的连接,影响电池单体的结构稳定性。When forming the electrode assembly, usually a plurality of positive electrode sheets, a plurality of separators and a plurality of negative electrode sheets are stacked in a certain direction, and then placed in the casing, and the end cap assembly is covered on the casing to form a battery cell. With the recycling of battery cells, the electrode assembly will shrink and expand along the lamination direction. The inventors found that when the lamination direction of the plurality of positive electrode sheets, the plurality of negative electrode sheets, and the plurality of separators in the electrode assembly is parallel to the direction in which the end cap assembly covers the casing, the electrode assembly will be closed to the casing when the electrode assembly expands. The end cap assembly generates an outward extrusion force, which finally acts on the connection between the case and the end cap assembly, thereby affecting the structural stability of the battery cell. Further, the inventors also found that even when the lamination direction of the plurality of positive electrode sheets, the plurality of negative electrode sheets and the plurality of separators in the electrode assembly is perpendicular to the direction in which the end cap assembly covers the casing, the electrode assembly is It is also easy to generate a large amount of gas, and because the amount of positive active material and negative active material per unit volume at the edge of the pole piece is small, the gas generated per unit time is less, the air pressure is small, and the gas is easy to flow along The extension direction of the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet is discharged to the side of the electrode assembly facing the end cap assembly. As the gas accumulates, it will also generate an outward extrusion force on the end cap assembly that is covered with the casing, and finally act on the end cap assembly. The connection between the case and end cap assembly affects the structural stability of the battery cell.
基于此,本申请实施例提供了一种电池单体,该种电池单体的端盖组件沿第一方向盖合于壳体,形成电极组件的多个正极片、多个负极片和多个隔离件沿第二方向层叠设置,相邻的正极片和负极片沿第三方向的尺寸不同,并且,第一方向、第二方向、第三方向两两相互垂直。这样,可以使得在相邻的正极片和负极片沿第三方向的边缘处,单位体积内相对的正极活性物质和负极活性物质的量被大大降低,使得该区域的气体产生速率被降低到较低的值,从而降低该区域的气压,使气体更容易在相邻的正极片和负极片之间沿第三方向传递至该区域并滞留于该区域。Based on this, an embodiment of the present application provides a battery cell. The end cap assembly of the battery cell is covered on the casing along the first direction to form a plurality of positive electrode sheets, a plurality of negative electrode sheets, and a plurality of electrode assemblies. The separators are stacked along the second direction, adjacent positive and negative electrodes have different sizes along the third direction, and the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other. In this way, at the edge of the adjacent positive electrode sheet and negative electrode sheet along the third direction, the relative amount of positive electrode active material and negative electrode active material per unit volume is greatly reduced, so that the gas generation rate in this area is reduced to a relatively low A low value reduces the air pressure in this region, making it easier for the gas to transfer to and stay in this region along the third direction between adjacent positive and negative electrodes.
使用本申请实施例的电池单体结构,能够降低气体沿第一方向传递 的概率的同时,使得气体能够沿第三方向传递,一方面,可以减少电池单体沿第一方向的尺寸膨胀,避免膨胀力对端盖组件和壳体连接处造成不利影响,从而影响电池单体整体结构的稳定性;另一方面,也可以避免气体积聚在相邻的正极片和负极片之间难以排出,防止析锂现象的产生。Using the battery cell structure of the embodiment of the present application can reduce the probability of gas transfer along the first direction and at the same time enable the gas to transfer along the third direction. On the one hand, it can reduce the dimensional expansion of the battery cell along the first direction and avoid The expansion force has an adverse effect on the connection between the end cap assembly and the housing, thus affecting the stability of the overall structure of the battery cell; The generation of lithium precipitation phenomenon.

请参见图3,图3为本申请一些实施例提供的电池单体400的结构示意图。Please refer to FIG. 3 , which is a schematic structural diagram of a battery cell 400 provided in some embodiments of the present application.
如图3所示,该电池单体400包括具有容纳腔411和开口的壳体410、盖合于壳体410开口的端盖组件420和容纳于该容纳腔411内的一个或多个电极组件430。As shown in FIG. 3 , the battery cell 400 includes a casing 410 having a cavity 411 and an opening, an end cap assembly 420 covering the opening of the casing 410 , and one or more electrode assemblies accommodated in the cavity 411 430.
壳体410为中空腔体结构,例如,壳体410具有容纳腔411,且壳体410的其中一个面具有开口,即该面不具有壳体壁而使得壳体410内外相通,以便电极组件430可以收容于壳体410的容纳腔411内,端盖组件420在壳体410的开口处沿第一方向X与壳体410盖合而形成中空腔体。其中,第一方向X是壳体410的高度方向。电极组件430从开口处装入壳体410之后,利用端盖组件420对开口进行封闭,防止气态、液态或固态物质在壳体410内部与外部之间流通,影响电池单体400的使用性能。The casing 410 is a hollow cavity structure. For example, the casing 410 has a housing cavity 411, and one of the surfaces of the casing 410 has an opening, that is, this surface does not have a casing wall so that the inside and outside of the casing 410 communicate, so that the electrode assembly 430 The end cover assembly 420 can be accommodated in the housing cavity 411 of the housing 410 , and the end cover assembly 420 is closed with the housing 410 along the first direction X at the opening of the housing 410 to form a hollow cavity. Wherein, the first direction X is the height direction of the casing 410 . After the electrode assembly 430 is loaded into the casing 410 from the opening, the opening is sealed with the end cap assembly 420 to prevent gaseous, liquid or solid substances from circulating between the inside and outside of the casing 410 and affect the performance of the battery cell 400 .
壳体410的形状可以根据一个或多个电极组件430组合后的形状而定,例如,壳体410可以为中空长方体或中空正方体或中空圆柱体。例如,当壳体410为中空长方体或正方体时,壳体410的其中一个平面为开口面,即该平面不具有壳体410壁而使得壳体410内外相通。壳体410的其他平面形成壳体410的侧壁,这几个平面可以是一体成型的,具有较少的连接处,以保证壳体410侧壁的连接强度。当壳体410为中空圆柱体时,壳体410的至少一个圆形侧面为开口面,即该圆形侧面不具有壳体410壁而使得壳体410内外相通。壳体410的侧壁可以是一体成型的,具有较高强度。壳体410可由金属材料或塑料制成,在一些实施例中,壳体410由铝或铝合金制成。The shape of the casing 410 may be determined according to the combined shape of one or more electrode assemblies 430 , for example, the casing 410 may be a hollow cuboid, a hollow cube, or a hollow cylinder. For example, when the housing 410 is a hollow cuboid or cube, one of the planes of the housing 410 is an open surface, that is, the plane does not have a wall of the housing 410 so that the inside and outside of the housing 410 communicate. The other planes of the housing 410 form the side walls of the housing 410 , and these planes may be integrally formed with fewer joints to ensure the connection strength of the side walls of the housing 410 . When the housing 410 is a hollow cylinder, at least one circular side of the housing 410 is an open surface, that is, the circular side does not have a wall of the housing 410 so that the inside and outside of the housing 410 communicate. The side wall of the housing 410 may be integrally formed with high strength. The housing 410 may be made of metal material or plastic, and in some embodiments, the housing 410 is made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy.
请继续参见图3,端盖组件420可以包括端盖421和两个电极端子 422。两个电极端子422包括正极端子和负极端子,两个电极端子422通过转接片423与极耳连接,具体地,正极端子可以通过正极转接片与正极极耳电连接,即正极转接片一端连接在正极端子上,另一端连接在正极极耳上;负极端子通过负极转接片与负极极耳电连接,即负极转接片一端连接在负极端子上,另一端连接在负极极耳上,从而实现电池单体400内、外部电流的导通。Please continue to refer to FIG. 3 , the end cover assembly 420 may include an end cover 421 and two electrode terminals 422. The two electrode terminals 422 include a positive terminal and a negative terminal. The two electrode terminals 422 are connected to the tabs through the adapter piece 423. Specifically, the positive terminal can be electrically connected to the positive pole ear through the positive adapter piece, that is, the positive pole adapter piece One end is connected to the positive terminal, and the other end is connected to the positive lug; the negative terminal is electrically connected to the negative lug through the negative adapter, that is, one end of the negative adapter is connected to the negative terminal, and the other end is connected to the negative lug. , so as to realize the conduction of the internal and external currents of the battery cell 400 .
图3中仅示意出电池单体400具有一个端盖组件420的情形,可以理解的是,电池单体400也可以包括两个端盖组件420,两个端盖组件420分别设置于壳体410的两端,每个端盖组件420上各设置一个电极端子422。FIG. 3 only illustrates the case where the battery cell 400 has one end cap assembly 420. It can be understood that the battery cell 400 may also include two end cap assemblies 420, and the two end cap assemblies 420 are respectively arranged on the casing 410. Each end cap assembly 420 is provided with an electrode terminal 422 at both ends of the electrode.
请参见图4至图7所示,在一些实施例中,电极组件430可以包括沿第二方向Y层叠设置的多个正极片43a、多个隔离件43b和多个负极片43c,隔离件43b位于正极片43a和负极片43c之间以隔开正极片43a和负极片43c。其中,相邻正极片43a和负极片43c沿第三方向Z的尺寸不同,第一方向X、第二方向Y和第三方向Z相互垂直。4 to 7, in some embodiments, the electrode assembly 430 may include a plurality of positive electrode sheets 43a, a plurality of separators 43b and a plurality of negative electrode sheets 43c stacked along the second direction Y, and the separators 43b It is located between the positive electrode sheet 43a and the negative electrode sheet 43c to separate the positive electrode sheet 43a and the negative electrode sheet 43c. Wherein, adjacent positive electrode sheets 43a and negative electrode sheets 43c have different sizes along the third direction Z, and the first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other.
以壳体410是圆柱壳体为例,第一方向X是壳体410的高度方向,第二方向Y和第三方向Z是壳体410的径向。本申请将多个正极片43a、多个隔离件43b和多个负极片43c沿壳体410的径向层叠设置,正极片43a、隔离件43b和负极片43c均朝向壳体410的侧壁。其中,壳体410的侧壁是壳体410中与高度方向X平行的壁。壳体410的侧壁是壳体410的大面侧壁,其连接处较少,整体强度较高。Taking the case 410 as a cylindrical case as an example, the first direction X is the height direction of the case 410 , and the second direction Y and the third direction Z are the radial directions of the case 410 . In this application, a plurality of positive electrode sheets 43a, a plurality of separators 43b and a plurality of negative electrode sheets 43c are stacked along the radial direction of the casing 410, and the positive electrode sheets 43a, separators 43b and negative electrode sheets 43c all face the side wall of the casing 410. Wherein, the side wall of the housing 410 is a wall parallel to the height direction X in the housing 410 . The side wall of the housing 410 is a large side wall of the housing 410 , which has fewer joints and higher overall strength.
在一些示例中,为了防止电极组件430与壳体410上边缘发生干涉,电极组件430沿第一方向X的尺寸可以小于壳体410沿第一方向X的尺寸。例如,电极组件430沿第一方向X的尺寸可以比壳体410沿第一方向X的尺寸小5mm至7mm。在一些实例中,为了防止电极组件430与壳 体410内壁发生搭接短路,电极组件430沿壳体410的径向与壳体410的内壁之间可以具有一定的间隙。示例地,该间隙可以是1mm、2mm等。In some examples, in order to prevent the electrode assembly 430 from interfering with the upper edge of the case 410 , the size of the electrode assembly 430 along the first direction X may be smaller than the size of the case 410 along the first direction X. For example, the size of the electrode assembly 430 along the first direction X may be smaller than the size of the case 410 along the first direction X by 5 mm to 7 mm. In some examples, in order to prevent the electrode assembly 430 from overlapping with the inner wall of the casing 410, there may be a certain gap between the electrode assembly 430 and the inner wall of the casing 410 along the radial direction of the casing 410. Exemplarily, the gap may be 1mm, 2mm, etc.
电极组件430包括沿第二方向Y层叠的多个正极片43a、多个隔离件43b和多个负极片43c,即,多个正极片43a、多个隔离件43b和多个负极片43c沿厚度方向并排,相邻的正极片43a和负极片43c沿第二方向具有相对设置且相邻的两个表面,金属离子例如锂离子在相邻的两表面间移动以使电池单体工作。正极片43a和负极片43c之间,在满足正极活性物质和负极活性物质反应比例的情况下,单位体积内的正极活性物质和负极活性物质的量越大,则反应的速率越快,反应所产生的气体也就越多,当气体积聚在相邻的正极片和负极片之间,容易导致极片之间的间隙变大、气压变大,从而影响反应的正常进行。并且,当反应所产生的气体更多地沿第一方向X即端盖组件420盖合于壳体410的方向传递,容易使得电池单体400发生沿第三方向Z的膨胀,并使端盖组件420与壳体410的连接处受膨胀力的作用,一方面,如果受壳体410内气压的影响,使得存在于相邻的正极片和负极片之间的气体沿第一方向X瞬时排出,容易对端盖组件420和壳体410的连接处造成冲击,容易对连接处造成不利影响;另一方面,在膨胀力的长期作用下,端盖组件420与壳体410的连接处容易发生失效,使得电池单体400存在安全隐患。The electrode assembly 430 includes a plurality of positive electrode sheets 43a, a plurality of separators 43b and a plurality of negative electrode sheets 43c stacked along the second direction Y, that is, a plurality of positive electrode sheets 43a, a plurality of separators 43b and a plurality of negative electrode sheets 43c along the thickness The adjacent positive electrode sheet 43a and the negative electrode sheet 43c have two opposite and adjacent surfaces along the second direction, and metal ions such as lithium ions move between the two adjacent surfaces to make the battery cell work. Between the positive electrode sheet 43a and the negative electrode sheet 43c, under the condition of satisfying the reaction ratio of the positive electrode active material and the negative electrode active material, the larger the amount of the positive electrode active material and the negative electrode active material per unit volume, the faster the reaction rate, and the reaction rate The more gas is generated, when the gas accumulates between the adjacent positive and negative electrodes, it is easy to cause the gap between the electrodes to become larger and the air pressure to increase, thereby affecting the normal progress of the reaction. Moreover, when the gas generated by the reaction is more transmitted along the first direction X, that is, the direction in which the end cover assembly 420 covers the casing 410, it is easy to cause the battery cell 400 to expand along the third direction Z, and the end cover The connection between the component 420 and the casing 410 is affected by the expansion force. On the one hand, if it is affected by the air pressure in the casing 410, the gas existing between the adjacent positive electrode sheets and negative electrode sheets is instantaneously discharged along the first direction X , it is easy to cause impact on the connection between the end cover assembly 420 and the housing 410, and it is easy to cause adverse effects on the connection; failure, so that the battery cell 400 has a safety hazard.
基于此,可以设置相邻的正极片43a和负极片43c沿第三方向Z的尺寸不同,这里的第三方向Z垂直于第一方向X、第二方向Y,与壳体410的某一径向方向平行。相邻的正极片43a和负极片43c沿第三方向Z的尺寸不同,可以理解为,沿极片的层叠方向即第二方向Y,正极片43a沿第三方向Z的边缘区域未设置有负极片43c与其相对,或者,在负极片43c沿第三方向Z的边缘区域未设置有正极片43a与其相对,从而使得在该区域中,单位体积内的正极活性物质与负极活性物质的量较少,所产生的气 体较少,在气体压力的作用下,位于相邻的正极片43a和负极片43c之间的气体能够沿第三方向Z移动并最终移动至该区域。这样,一方面,可以减少气体瞬时脱出相邻的极片间对端盖组件420和壳体410的连接处的冲击,另一方面,可以降低气体产生所带来的膨胀力对连接处的不良影响,以提高电池单体400整体结构的稳定性和可靠性,从而提高电池单体400的使用安全性。Based on this, adjacent positive electrode sheets 43a and negative electrode sheets 43c can be set to have different sizes along the third direction Z, where the third direction Z is perpendicular to the first direction X and the second direction Y, and a certain diameter of the casing 410 parallel to the direction. Adjacent positive electrode sheet 43a and negative electrode sheet 43c have different sizes along the third direction Z, which can be understood as, along the stacking direction of the electrode sheet, that is, the second direction Y, the edge region of the positive electrode sheet 43a along the third direction Z is not provided with a negative electrode The sheet 43c is opposite to it, or the positive electrode sheet 43a is not provided on the edge area of the negative electrode sheet 43c along the third direction Z to face it, so that in this area, the amount of positive active material and negative active material per unit volume is less , less gas is produced, and under the action of gas pressure, the gas located between the adjacent positive electrode sheet 43a and negative electrode sheet 43c can move along the third direction Z and finally move to this area. In this way, on the one hand, it is possible to reduce the impact on the connection between the end cover assembly 420 and the housing 410 caused by the instantaneous escape of gas between adjacent pole pieces, and on the other hand, it can reduce the adverse effects of the expansion force caused by the gas generation on the connection. influence, so as to improve the stability and reliability of the overall structure of the battery cell 400, thereby improving the use safety of the battery cell 400.
此外,上述方案有益于利用气压差降低相邻正极片43a和负极片43c之间的气体排出的难度,使得气体更容易移动排出,避免气体长时间滞留影响反应的正常进行。In addition, the above solution is beneficial to reduce the difficulty of gas discharge between the adjacent positive electrode sheet 43a and negative electrode sheet 43c by using the air pressure difference, making it easier for the gas to move and discharge, and avoiding the long-term residence of the gas affecting the normal progress of the reaction.
在一些实施例中,如图8所示,壳体410包括与第三方向Z平行并与第二方向Y垂直的中心面,电极组件430包括第一极片43d和第二极片43e,第一极片43d和第二极片43e为多个负极片43c和多个正极片43a中的任意两个极片。第一极片43d比第二极片43e更靠近中心面,第一极片43d沿第三方向Z的尺寸大于第二极片43e沿第三方向Z的尺寸。In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 8 , the casing 410 includes a central plane parallel to the third direction Z and perpendicular to the second direction Y, the electrode assembly 430 includes a first pole piece 43d and a second pole piece 43e, the second pole piece 43d The first pole piece 43d and the second pole piece 43e are any two pole pieces in the multiple negative pole pieces 43c and the multiple positive pole pieces 43a. The first pole piece 43d is closer to the central plane than the second pole piece 43e, and the size of the first pole piece 43d along the third direction Z is greater than the size of the second pole piece 43e along the third direction Z.
在圆柱电池单体中,中心面是壳体410的容纳腔411中假想的一个平面,该平面与第三方向Z平行且与第二方向Y垂直,该平面位于容纳腔411的中心,与正极片43a、负极片43c和隔离件43b平行。当电池单体400为圆柱电池单体时,在容纳腔411的与第三方向Z平行且与第二方向Y垂直的假想面中,中心面是面积最大的一个面。In a cylindrical battery cell, the central plane is an imaginary plane in the housing cavity 411 of the casing 410, which is parallel to the third direction Z and perpendicular to the second direction Y, and which is located at the center of the housing cavity 411 and is connected to the positive pole. The sheet 43a, the negative electrode sheet 43c, and the separator 43b are parallel. When the battery cell 400 is a cylindrical battery cell, among the imaginary planes parallel to the third direction Z and perpendicular to the second direction Y of the accommodating cavity 411 , the center plane is the plane with the largest area.
第一极片43d和第二极片43e是多个负极片43c和多个正极片43a中的任意两个极片。举例来说,第一极片43d和第二极片43e可以为任意两个正极片43a,也可以为任意两个负极片43c,当然也可以是第一极片43d和第二极片43e中的一者为任一正极片43a,另一者为任一负极片43c。第一极片43d和第二极片43e可以相邻也可以不相邻,本申请实施例对此不作限定。The first pole piece 43d and the second pole piece 43e are any two pole pieces among the multiple negative pole pieces 43c and the multiple positive pole pieces 43a. For example, the first pole piece 43d and the second pole piece 43e can be any two positive pole pieces 43a, can also be any two negative pole pieces 43c, of course, can also be the first pole piece 43d and the second pole piece 43e One of them is any positive electrode sheet 43a, and the other is any negative electrode sheet 43c. The first pole piece 43d and the second pole piece 43e may or may not be adjacent to each other, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.
第一极片43d沿第三方向Z的尺寸大于第二极片43e沿第三方向Z的尺寸。例如,第一极片43d沿第三方向Z的尺寸可以比第二极片43e沿第三方向Z的尺寸大1mm、2mm等。其中,第一极片43d较第二极片43e更靠近中心面。也就是说,更靠近大面积的中心面的第一极片43d沿第三方向Z的尺寸大于远离中心面的第二极片43e沿第三方向Z的尺寸。这样,在不同尺寸的第一极片43d和第二极片43e沿第三方向Z的两端可以形成气压较低的区域,通过这样的设置,可以使得气体更多地由相邻的正极片和负极片之间的空间移动至该区域,并且,该区域可以用于容纳部分的气体滞留。另外,圆柱壳体沿第三方向Z的尺寸从中心面至壳体410内壁依次减小,将靠近中心面的第一极片43d沿第三方向Z的尺寸设置得较长,可以有效利用壳体410内容纳腔411的空间,在保证排气效果的同时提高电池单体400的容量。The size of the first pole piece 43d along the third direction Z is greater than the size of the second pole piece 43e along the third direction Z. For example, the dimension of the first pole piece 43d along the third direction Z may be larger than the dimension of the second pole piece 43e along the third direction Z by 1mm, 2mm, etc. FIG. Wherein, the first pole piece 43d is closer to the central plane than the second pole piece 43e. That is to say, the size along the third direction Z of the first pole piece 43d closer to the large-area center plane is larger than the size along the third direction Z of the second pole piece 43e away from the center plane. In this way, a region with lower air pressure can be formed at both ends of the first pole piece 43d and the second pole piece 43e of different sizes along the third direction Z, and through such an arrangement, more gas can be released from the adjacent positive pole pieces. and the space between the negative electrode sheet is moved to this area, and this area can be used to accommodate part of the gas entrapment. In addition, the size of the cylindrical housing along the third direction Z decreases successively from the center plane to the inner wall of the housing 410, and the size of the first pole piece 43d near the center plane along the third direction Z is set to be longer, which can effectively utilize the shell. The space of the cavity 411 in the body 410 increases the capacity of the battery cell 400 while ensuring the exhaust effect.
在一些实施例中,如图4所示,沿第一方向X,负极片43c的尺寸大于正极片43a的尺寸。In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4 , along the first direction X, the size of the negative electrode sheet 43c is larger than the size of the positive electrode sheet 43a.
沿第一方向X,所有负极片43c的尺寸可以相同,所有正极片43a的尺寸也可以相同,这种情况下,任一负极片43c沿第一方向X的尺寸可以大于任一正极片43a沿第一方向X的尺寸。例如,任一负极片43c沿第一方向X的尺寸可以比任一正极片43a沿第一方向X的尺寸大1mm、2mm等。Along the first direction X, the size of all negative electrode sheets 43c can be the same, and the size of all positive electrode sheets 43a can also be the same. In this case, the size of any negative electrode sheet 43c along the first direction X can be greater than that of any positive electrode sheet 43a along the The dimension of the first direction X. For example, the size of any negative electrode sheet 43c along the first direction X may be 1mm, 2mm, etc. larger than the size of any positive electrode sheet 43a along the first direction X.
可以理解的是,沿第一方向X,多个负极片43c的尺寸也可以不完全相同,多个正极片43a的尺寸也可以不完全相同,这种情况下,任一负极片43c沿第一方向X的尺寸可以大于与其相邻的正极片43a沿第一方向X的尺寸。It can be understood that along the first direction X, the dimensions of the plurality of negative electrode sheets 43c may not be completely the same, and the dimensions of the plurality of positive electrode sheets 43a may not be completely the same. The dimension in the direction X may be greater than the dimension along the first direction X of the adjacent positive electrode sheet 43a.
通过将负极片43c沿第一方向X的尺寸设置得大于正极片43a沿第一方向X的尺寸,使得在壳体410的高度方向上,便于形成负极片43c包 覆正极片43a的结构,避免由于嵌锂不足而发生析锂,影响电池单体400的性能。By setting the size of the negative electrode sheet 43c along the first direction X to be larger than the size of the positive electrode sheet 43a along the first direction X, it is convenient to form a structure in which the negative electrode sheet 43c wraps the positive electrode sheet 43a in the height direction of the casing 410, avoiding Lithium precipitation occurs due to insufficient lithium intercalation, which affects the performance of the battery cell 400 .
进一步地,为了保证负极片43c沿第一方向X的两端均能包覆正极片43a,可以将负极片43c沿第一方向X的两端均超出正极片43a沿第一方向X的两端。示例地,负极片43c与正极片43a的几何中心可以位于同一高度,这样,负极片43c沿第一方向X的两端超出正极片43a沿第一方向X的两端的尺寸相同,两端可以具有相同的包覆效果。Further, in order to ensure that both ends of the negative electrode sheet 43c along the first direction X can cover the positive electrode sheet 43a, both ends of the negative electrode sheet 43c along the first direction X can exceed both ends of the positive electrode sheet 43a along the first direction X . For example, the geometric centers of the negative electrode sheet 43c and the positive electrode sheet 43a can be located at the same height, so that the two ends of the negative electrode sheet 43c along the first direction X exceed the same size as the two ends of the positive electrode sheet 43a along the first direction X, and the two ends can have Same wrapping effect.
在一些实施例中,如图4和图5所示,电极组件430包括中间层,中间层为负极片43c。In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 , the electrode assembly 430 includes an intermediate layer, and the intermediate layer is a negative electrode sheet 43c.

The middle layer of the electrode assembly 430 is the layer located at the center of the electrode assembly 430 , and in some embodiments where the battery cells are 400 cylindrical battery cells, it is also the layer with the largest area in the electrode assembly 430 .
在电池单体400为圆柱电池单体的部分实施例中,将电极组件430的中间层设置为负极片43c,使得中间层的负极片43c的面积较大,便于形成负极片43c包正极片43a的结构,避免由于嵌锂不足而发生析锂,影响电池单体400的性能。In some embodiments where the battery cell 400 is a cylindrical battery cell, the middle layer of the electrode assembly 430 is set as the negative electrode sheet 43c, so that the area of the negative electrode sheet 43c in the middle layer is larger, and it is convenient to form the negative electrode sheet 43c to wrap the positive electrode sheet 43a The structure avoids lithium precipitation due to insufficient lithium intercalation, which affects the performance of the battery cell 400 .

通过将隔离件43b连接为一体,可以避免在组装电极组件430时多次叠放隔离件43b,提高了电极组件430的组装效率。另外,将负极片43c两侧的隔离件43b沿第一方向X的一端连接,将正极片43a两侧的隔离件43b沿第一方向X的另一端连接,使得隔离件43b沿第一方向X的两端分别相连,可以阻挡反应产生的气体沿第一方向X流动,避免对壳体410和端盖组件420的连接处造成冲击,提高了电池110的安全性能。By connecting the separators 43b as a whole, multiple stacking of the separators 43b can be avoided when assembling the electrode assembly 430 , which improves the assembly efficiency of the electrode assembly 430 . In addition, the separator 43b on both sides of the negative electrode sheet 43c is connected along one end of the first direction X, and the other end of the separator 43b on both sides of the positive electrode sheet 43a is connected along the first direction X, so that the separator 43b is along the first direction X. The two ends of the two are connected respectively, which can prevent the gas generated by the reaction from flowing along the first direction X, avoid impact on the junction of the casing 410 and the end cap assembly 420, and improve the safety performance of the battery 110 .
在一些实施例中,如图4和图7所示,电极组件430还包括多个由正极片43a沿第一方向X延伸出的正极极耳43a1,以及,多个由负极片43c沿第一方向X延伸出的负极极耳43c1,多个正极极耳43a1和多个负极极耳43c1分别设置于隔离件43b沿第一方向X的两侧,隔离件43b用于隔离正极极耳43a1与负极极耳43c1。In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 7 , the electrode assembly 430 further includes a plurality of positive tabs 43a1 extending from the positive sheet 43a along the first direction X, and a plurality of positive tabs 43a1 extending from the negative sheet 43c along the first direction X. The negative pole tab 43c1 extending in the direction X, the multiple positive pole tabs 43a1 and the multiple negative pole tabs 43c1 are respectively arranged on both sides of the separator 43b along the first direction X, and the separator 43b is used to isolate the positive pole tab 43a1 from the negative pole Tab 43c1.
正极片43a和负极片43c具有活性物质的部分构成电极组件430的主体部,正极片43a和负极片43c不具有活性物质的部分分别构成正极极耳43a1和负极极耳43c1。The parts of the positive electrode sheet 43a and the negative electrode sheet 43c with the active material constitute the main body of the electrode assembly 430, and the parts of the positive electrode sheet 43a and the negative electrode sheet 43c without the active material constitute the positive electrode tab 43a1 and the negative electrode tab 43c1 respectively.
本申请实施例将正极极耳43a1和负极极耳43c1分别沿第一方向X从正极片43a和负极片43c伸出,且使正极极耳43a1和负极极耳43c1分别位于隔离件43b沿第一方向X的两侧,这种自然出极耳的方式,不用额外焊接牵引线连接正极极耳43a1或负极极耳43c1,减小了工艺难度。另外,在负极片43c两侧的隔离件43b沿第一方向X的一端连接,正极片43a两侧的隔离件43b沿第一方向X的另一端连接的基础上,正极极耳43a1在通过正极转接片连接至正极端子时不会与连接负极极耳43c1的负极转接片电连接,负极极耳43c1在通过负极转接片连接至负极端子时也不会与连接正极极耳43a1的正极转接片电连接,提高了电池110的安全性能。In the embodiment of the present application, the positive pole tab 43a1 and the negative pole tab 43c1 protrude from the positive pole piece 43a and the negative pole piece 43c along the first direction X, respectively, and the positive pole tab 43a1 and the negative pole tab 43c1 are respectively positioned on the separator 43b along the first direction X. On both sides of the direction X, this natural tab-out method does not require additional welding pull wires to connect the positive tab 43a1 or the negative tab 43c1, which reduces the difficulty of the process. In addition, on the basis that the separators 43b on both sides of the negative electrode sheet 43c are connected along one end of the first direction X, and the separators 43b on both sides of the positive electrode sheet 43a are connected along the other end of the first direction X, the positive electrode tab 43a1 passes through the positive electrode. When the adapter piece is connected to the positive terminal, it will not be electrically connected to the negative electrode adapter piece connected to the negative pole ear 43c1, and the negative pole ear 43c1 will not be electrically connected to the positive pole connected to the positive pole ear 43a1 when it is connected to the negative terminal through the negative pole adapter piece.

综上,将多个正极片43a、多个隔离件43b和多个负极片43c沿第二方向Y层叠设置,使得反应产生的气体以及膨胀力沿壳体410的径向传递,不会对壳体410与端盖组件420之间的薄弱连接处造成损伤,反应产生的气体不会聚集在正负极片43c之间排不出去,从而不会撑大相邻正负极片43c之间的间隙而增大析锂风险,也不会影响电池单体400的容量和安全性能。另外,相邻正极片43a和负极片43c沿第三方向Z的尺寸不同,沿第三方向Z尺寸较小的极片的两侧没有其他极片相对,产气量和膨胀力较小,不会对壳体410造成较大冲击。并且,相邻正极片43a和负极片43c可以在沿第三方向Z的两端形成容纳空间,反应产生的气体很容易从压力较高的正负极片43c之间的间隙流向压力较低的容纳空间,使得气体能够及时***至容纳空间,从而使膨胀力及时沿第三方向Z传递,避免电池110出现胀气和鼓肚。减少了膨胀力沿第一方向X传递的可能,有效避免了对端盖组件420与壳体410连接处的冲击,避免电池110出现泄漏,提高了电池110的安全性能和循环寿命。To sum up, a plurality of positive electrode sheets 43a, a plurality of separators 43b and a plurality of negative electrode sheets 43c are stacked along the second direction Y, so that the gas generated by the reaction and the expansion force are transmitted along the radial direction of the casing 410 without impacting the casing 410. The weak connection between the body 410 and the end cover assembly 420 will cause damage, and the gas generated by the reaction will not accumulate between the positive and negative electrode sheets 43c and cannot be discharged, so as not to expand the gap between the adjacent positive and negative electrode sheets 43c The risk of lithium precipitation will be increased due to the gap, and the capacity and safety performance of the battery cell 400 will not be affected. In addition, adjacent positive electrode pieces 43a and negative electrode pieces 43c have different sizes along the third direction Z, and the two sides of the electrode piece with a smaller size along the third direction Z have no other electrode pieces facing each other, so the gas production and expansion force are small, and there will be no A large impact is caused to the casing 410 . Moreover, adjacent positive electrode sheets 43a and negative electrode sheets 43c can form accommodating spaces at both ends along the third direction Z, and the gas generated by the reaction can easily flow from the gap between the positive and negative electrode sheets 43c with higher pressure to the one with lower pressure. The accommodating space enables the gas to be discharged into the accommodating space in time, so that the expansion force is transmitted along the third direction Z in time, and the battery 110 is prevented from being bloated and bulging. The possibility of the expansion force being transmitted along the first direction X is reduced, the impact on the connection between the end cover assembly 420 and the casing 410 is effectively avoided, the leakage of the battery 110 is avoided, and the safety performance and cycle life of the battery 110 are improved.
