Abstract

The present disclosure provides a pouch-type secondary battery, which comprises an electrode assembly, a packaging film. The packaging film comprises a first receiving portion, a second receiving portion, a third receiving portion. The third receiving portion is parallel to the first receiving portion, a portion of the electrode tab extends out of the third receiving portion. A joint location between the second receiving portion and the first receiving portion and a joint location between the second receiving portion and the third receiving portion each are formed with a bending angle, the bending angles are equal and each range from 130° to 160°. Because the bending angles in the range are relatively large, when the packaging film is tightly pressed, there is no need to apply a too large pressure on the second receiving portion and the third receiving portion, so the electrode tab is not easily damaged or even ruptured.

Claims (24)

1. A pouch-type secondary battery, comprising:

an electrode assembly comprising a main body and an electrode tab electrically connected with the main body;

a packaging film receiving and sealing the electrode assembly, and comprising:

a first receiving portion corresponding to the main body of the electrode assembly and positioned outside the electrode assembly in a height direction;

a second receiving portion extending obliquely along the height direction of the electrode assembly from one end of the first receiving portion close to the electrode tab of the electrode assembly in a longitudinal direction toward the electrode tab; and

a third receiving portion extending along the longitudinal direction of the electrode assembly from one end of the second receiving portion close to the electrode tab of the electrode assembly in the longitudinal direction, and the third receiving portion being parallel to the first receiving portion, a portion of the electrode tab extending out of the third receiving portion;

wherein a joint location between the second receiving portion and the first receiving portion and a joint location between the second receiving portion and the third receiving portion in the packaging film each are formed with a bending angle, the bending angles are equal in value and the bending angles each range from 130° to 160°.

2. The pouch-type secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the second receiving portion extends obliquely along the height direction of the electrode assembly on both sides of the electrode tab from the one end of the first receiving portion close to the electrode tab of the electrode assembly in the longitudinal direction toward the electrode tab.

3. The pouch-type secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the second receiving portion extends obliquely along the height direction of the electrode assembly on one side of the electrode tab from the one end of the first receiving portion close to the electrode tab of the electrode assembly in the longitudinal direction toward the electrode tab.

4. The pouch-type secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the packaging film includes a metal layer, and the metal layer is greater than the electrode tab in hardness.

5. The pouch-type secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the third receiving portion of the packaging film is parallel to the electrode tab.

6. The pouch-type secondary battery according to claim 5 , wherein an outer surface and an inner surface of the third receiving portion in the height direction of the electrode assembly are parallel to an upper surface and a lower surface of the electrode tab in the height direction.

7. The pouch-type secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein

the main body of the electrode assembly comprises a positive electrode plate, a separator and a negative electrode plate;

the electrode tab comprises a positive electrode tab and a negative electrode tab.

8. The pouch-type secondary battery according to claim 7 , wherein the positive electrode plate, the separator and the negative electrode plate are laminated or wound to form the main body of the electrode assembly.

9. The pouch-type secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein a distance between the joint location between the first receiving portion and the second receiving portion and the joint location between the third receiving portion and the second receiving portion in the height direction is 5 mm˜40 mm.

10. The pouch-type secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the pouch-type secondary battery further comprises: an insulating seal adhesive which surrounds a portion of the electrode tab positioned in the third receiving portion and is firmly adhered with an inner surface of the third receiving portion.

11. The pouch-type secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein a material of the insulating seal adhesive is polyimide or polyethylene.

12. The pouch-type secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein an outer layer of the packaging film is a polyethylene terephthalate layer, an intermediate layer of the packaging film is a metal layer, and an inner layer of the packaging film is a polypropylene layer or a polyethylene layer.

13. The pouch-type secondary battery according to claim 4 , wherein a material of the electrode tab is aluminum, and the metal layer of the packaging film is a copper layer or a stainless steel layer.

14. The pouch-type secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the metal layer of the packaging film is 10 μm˜150 μm.

15. The pouch-type secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the packaging film is 25 μm˜300 μm.

16. The pouch-type secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the packaging film is formed by stamping.
