Abstract

Embodiments of the present application provide a battery cell, a battery, a power consumption apparatus, a method for producing a battery cell and an apparatus for producing a battery cell. The battery cell includes: a pressure relief mechanism, the pressure relief mechanism being disposed on at least one wall of the battery cell; and a protective film enclosing an outer surface of the at least one wall, the protective film being configured to provide insulation protection for the at least one wall; where the protective film includes a first portion at least covering the pressure relief mechanism. Through technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, insulation performance of a battery cell could be improved; meanwhile, deformation of a pressure relief mechanism could be suppressed, creep of the pressure relief mechanism could be reduced, and the service life of the pressure relief mechanism could be increased.

Claims (19)

1. A battery cell, comprising:

a pressure relief mechanism, the pressure relief mechanism being disposed on at least one wall of the battery cell, and the pressure relief mechanism being configured to be actuated when an internal pressure or temperature of the battery cell reaches a threshold, to relieve the internal pressure; and

a protective film enclosing an outer surface of the at least one wall, the protective film being configured to provide insulation protection for the at least one wall;

wherein the protective film comprises a first portion, and the first portion at least covers the pressure relief mechanism, the protective film further comprises an isolation region and a second portion, the first portion is separated from the second portion by the isolation region, and the second portion covers an outer surface of the at least one wall other than a region covered by the first portion;

wherein the isolation region is coherent, and the first portion and the second portion are not connected.

2. The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein an area of the first portion is larger than an area of a region where the pressure relief mechanism is located, and a region of the first portion that exceeds the pressure relief mechanism is adhered to the outer surface of the at least one wall.

3. The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein a shape of the first portion is the same as or corresponds to a shape of a top-down plan view of the pressure relief mechanism.

4. The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein an edge of the first portion exceeds an edge of the pressure relief mechanism by 6 mm˜10 mm in a direction far away from a center of the pressure relief mechanism.

5. The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the battery cell comprises a housing, the housing comprises the at least one wall, the housing forms an accommodating cavity with an opening for accommodating an electrode assembly of the battery cell, and the protective film encloses an outer surface of the housing.

6. The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the isolation region is disposed around an outer edge of the pressure relief mechanism.

7. The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the protective film is a patch, and the protective film is adhered to the outer surface of the at least one wall by an adhesive.

8. The battery cell according to claim 7 , wherein the first portion is spaced apart from the pressure relief mechanism.

9. The battery cell according to claim 7 , wherein an isolation region is formed by laser ablation of the protective film.

10. The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the protective film is a coating, and outer surfaces of the at least one wall and the pressure relief mechanism are coated with the protective film by means of spraying.

11. The battery cell according to claim 10 , wherein an isolation region is formed by skipping coating some reserved region when surfaces of the at least one wall and the pressure relief mechanism are coated with the protective film.

12. The battery cell according to claim 10 , wherein a thickness of the first portion is greater than a thickness of a second portion.

13. A battery, comprising:

a plurality of battery cells, the plurality of battery cells comprising at least one battery cell according to claim 1 ; wherein the plurality of battery cells are insulated from each other through the protective film.

14. A power consumption device, comprising: the battery according to claim 13 .
