Abstract

An electrochemical energy storage device, which relates to the technical field of electrochemical energy storage devices. The device comprises: an upper connecting bar ( 4 ), a rubber piece ( 3 ) that has an insulating and sealing effect, a housing ( 7 ) and a rolled core ( 5 ); the housing ( 7 ) is cylindrical and is provided with an opening at at least one end, and the rubber piece ( 3 ) and the housing ( 7 ) are sealedly connected by means of a waisted section ( 9 ) provided on the housing ( 7 ); the rolled core ( 5 ) is provided in an inner cavity of the housing ( 7 ); one end of the upper connecting bar ( 4 ) penetrates the rubber piece ( 3 ) so as to be conductively connected to a negative electrode welding piece ( 1 ), while the other end of the upper connecting bar ( 4 ) is conductively connected to the rolled core ( 5 ); the rolled core ( 5 ) is conductively connected to the housing ( 7 ) by means of a lower connecting piece ( 6 ); and a positive electrode welding piece ( 8 ) is conductively connected to the housing ( 7 ). The rubber piece ( 3 ) features a good insulation effect, a simple structure and low cost. The upper connecting bar ( 4 ) and the lower connecting piece ( 6 ) are used for welding, and thus internal resistance is low and large current charging and discharging may be achieved.

Claims (13)
