Battery cell, battery and electrical apparatus
View Patent ↗A battery cell may include: a case, an outer surface thereof away from the interior of the battery cell may be clad with a first insulating layer; an end cap assembly, which may be disposed at an end portion of the case along the length direction of the battery cell; and an end cap patch, which may be attached to a surface of the end cap assembly away from the interior of the battery cell; wherein the end cap patch may be adhered with a second insulating layer, and the second insulating layer may be at least partially folded to the case and connected with the first insulating layer.
1 . A battery cell, comprising:
a case, an outer surface thereof away from the interior of the battery cell is clad with a first insulating layer;
an end cap assembly, which is disposed at an end portion of the case along the length direction of the battery cell; and
an end cap patch, which is attached to a surface of the end cap assembly away from the interior of the battery cell;
wherein
the end cap patch is adhered with a second insulating layer, and the second insulating layer is at least partially folded to the case and is connected with the first insulating layer, and a thickness of the second insulating layer is smaller than a thickness of the end cap patch,
the end cap assembly is provided with a convex hull protruding in a direction away from the interior of the battery cell, and shoulders located on both sides of the convex hull along the width direction of the battery cell,
the end cap patch is provided with a convex portion adapted to the convex hull, and an adhesion region located on both sides of the convex portion along the width direction of the battery cell, and
the adhesion region is adhered with the second insulating layer, so that the second insulating layer covers the shoulders.
2 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein, along the length direction of the battery cell, a distance of a predetermined length is reserved between an end portion of the first insulating layer close to the end cap assembly and an end portion of the case close to the end cap assembly, and the length of the second insulating layer folded to the case is greater than or equal to the predetermined length, so that the second insulating layer is connected with the first insulating layer.
3 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein
the case is a square case,
the end cap assembly and the end cap patch are of square structures adapted to the shape of the end portion of the case along the length direction of the battery cell,
the second insulating layer is provided with cutouts, and the cutouts extend from the diagonal vertices of the end cap patch to the end portion where the second insulating layer is folded to the case, so that the second insulating layer forms first folded portions located on both sides of the end cap patch along the thickness direction of the battery cell and second folded portions located on both sides of the end cap patch along the width direction of the battery cell.
4 . The battery cell according to claim 3 , wherein the end cap patch is of a rectangular structure, the first folded portions are folded from the long side of the end cap patch to the case, and the second folded portions are folded from the short side of the end cap patch to the case.
5 . The battery cell according to claim 3 , wherein in a state in which the second insulating layer is unfolded, the length of the first folded portion along the width direction of the battery cell is greater than the length of the long side of the end cap patch, and the length of the second folded portion along the thickness direction of the battery cell is smaller than the length of the short side of the end cap patch, so that the first folded portion is capable of being folded to the second folded portion after being folded to the case, thereby cladding a part of the second folded portion.
6 . The battery cell according to claim 3 , wherein in a state in which the second insulating layer is unfolded, the length of the first folded portion along the width direction of the battery cell is smaller than the length of the long side of the end cap patch, and the length of the second folded portion along the thickness direction of the battery cell is greater than the length of the short side of the end cap patch, so that the second folded portion is capable of being folded to the first folded portion after being folded to the case, thereby cladding a part of the first folded portion.
7 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the second insulating layer is adhered to an edge region of the surface of the end cap patch away from the end cap assembly.
8 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the width of the adhesion region is 3-7 mm.
9 . A battery, comprising a plurality of battery cells according to claim 1 .
10 . An electrical apparatus, comprising the battery according to claim 9 , wherein the battery is used for providing electrical energy.
