Abstract

A battery manufacturing method and a battery are provided. The battery manufacturing method includes: providing a first housing, wherein the first housing includes an intermediate part and a first flange, and a first positioning part is formed on the first flange; providing a second housing, wherein the second housing includes a bottom wall and a side wall, the side wall extends upward from the bottom wall, the side wall encloses to form an opening, the side wall extends outward from the opening to form a second flange, a second positioning part is formed on the second flange, the intermediate part covers the opening, and the second flange is in contact with the first flange; positioning and aligning the first housing and the second housing through the first positioning part and the second positioning part; and welding the first flange and the second flange.

Claims (20)

1 . A battery manufacturing method, comprising:

providing a first housing, wherein the first housing comprises an intermediate part and a first flange, and a first positioning part is formed on the first flange;

providing a second housing, wherein the second housing comprises a bottom wall and a side wall, the side wall extends upward from the bottom wall, the side wall encloses to form an opening, the side wall extends outward from the opening to form a second flange, a second positioning part is formed on the second flange, the intermediate part covers the opening, and the second flange is in contact with the first flange;

positioning and aligning the first housing and the second housing through the first positioning part and the second positioning part; and

welding the first flange and the second flange.

2 . The battery manufacturing method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

cutting at least part of the first flange and the second flange after welding the first flange and the second flange to remove at least part of the first positioning part and the second positioning part.

3 . The battery manufacturing method according to claim 2 , wherein the first flange and the second flange are welded to form a welding seam, at least part of the first positioning part does not overlap with the welding seam, and at least part of the second positioning part does not overlap with the welding seam.

4 . The battery manufacturing method according to claim 3 , wherein the welding seam and the first positioning part are spaced apart, the welding seam and the second positioning part are spaced apart, cutting is performed between the welding seam and the first positioning part and between the welding seam and the second positioning part to remove the first positioning part and the second positioning part.

5 . The battery manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein the first positioning part and the second positioning part are both positioning holes; the first positioning part and the second positioning part are both positioning notches; or one of the first positioning part and the second positioning part is a positioning protrusion and other one is a positioning recess, and the positioning protrusion and the positioning recess match.

6 . The battery manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein the second housing is formed with an accommodating cavity, and the accommodating cavity is obtained through stamping a flat plate; and

the accommodating cavity and the second positioning part are obtained through synchronously stamping the flat plate.

7 . The battery manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein along a length direction of the first housing, at least two first positioning parts are formed on the first flange, and along a length direction of the second housing, at least two second positioning parts are formed on the second flange; and

the first positioning part corresponds to the second positioning part one-to-one.

8 . The battery manufacturing method according to claim 7 , wherein the second flange is disposed around an outer circumferential edge of the opening; and

the first positioning parts formed on the first flange are located on two opposite sides of the intermediate part, the first positioning parts are symmetrically disposed with respect to a center line in a length direction of the intermediate part, and the second positioning parts formed on the second flange are located on two opposite sides of the bottom wall, the second positioning parts are symmetrically disposed with respect to a center line in a length direction of the bottom wall.

9 . The battery manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein before positioning and aligning the first housing and the second housing, a cell is placed between the first housing and the second housing to seal the cell after welding the first flange and the second flange.

10 . A battery, comprising a battery obtained by the battery manufacturing method according to claim 1 .

11 . The battery according to claim 10 , wherein a length of the battery is a, a width of the battery is b, and a height of the battery is c, where 2b≤a≤50b and/or 0.5c≤b≤20c; and

400 mm≤a≤2500 mm.
