Abstract

Disclosed are a wound electrode assembly, and a method and manufacturing apparatus for manufacturing the wound electrode assembly. The wound electrode assembly includes an electrode sheet. The electrode sheet includes a winding ending section, the winding ending section is provided with a plurality of first tabs, the plurality of first tabs are laminated, and among the two adjacent first tabs, a width of the first tab close to a winding center of the wound electrode assembly is greater than a width of the first tab away from the winding center. Among the two adjacent first tabs, a width of the first tab close to the winding center is greater than a width of the first tab away from the winding center. After the winding ending section is wound, the amount of misalignment between the two adjacent first tabs is reduced.

Claims (35)

1 . A wound electrode assembly, comprising:

an electrode sheet, comprising a winding ending section,

wherein the winding ending section is provided with a plurality of first tabs, the plurality of first tabs are laminated, and among the two adjacent first tabs, a width of the first tab close to a winding center of the wound electrode assembly is greater than a width of the first tab away from the winding center.

2 . The wound electrode assembly according to claim 1 , wherein

the electrode sheet further comprises a winding start section connected with the winding ending section, the winding start section is provided with a second tab, the second tab and the plurality of the first tabs are laminated; and

a width of the second tab is greater than or equal to the width of the first tab closest to the winding center among the plurality of first tabs.

3 . The wound electrode assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the quantity of the second tabs is multiple, the plurality of second tabs are laminated, and the widths of the plurality of second tabs are equal.

4 . The wound electrode assembly according to claim 3 , wherein the quantity of the second tabs is less than or equal to 25.

5 . The wound electrode assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the quantity of the second tabs is multiple, and among the two adjacent second tabs, the width of the second tab close to the winding center is greater than the width of the second tab away from the winding center.

6 . The wound electrode assembly according to claim 1 , wherein

the first tabs have connection ends and free ends, and the connection ends are connected to one end of the winding ending section in a width direction of the electrode sheet; and

in a direction from the connection ends to the free ends, the width of each first tab of the plurality of first tabs gradually decreases.

7 . The wound electrode assembly according to claim 1 , wherein a width difference between the two adjacent first tabs is equal.

8 . The wound electrode assembly according to claim 1 , wherein in a stacking direction of the plurality of first tabs, a width difference between the two adjacent first tabs gradually increases in a direction of the plurality of first tabs facing away from the winding center.

9 . The wound electrode assembly according to claim 1 , wherein in the stacking direction of the plurality of first tabs, the width difference between the two adjacent first tabs is 0.5 mm-4 mm in the direction of the plurality of first tabs facing away from the winding center.

10 . The wound electrode assembly according to claim 1 , wherein in the stacking direction of the plurality of first tabs, a height of the plurality of first tabs gradually decreases in the direction of the plurality of first tabs facing away from the winding center.

11 . The wound electrode assembly according to claim 10 , wherein a ratio of the width to the height of each first tab of the plurality of first tabs is the same.

12 . The wound electrode assembly according to claim 1 , wherein a distance between the two adjacent first tabs gradually increases in a winding direction of the wound electrode assembly.

13 . A battery cell, comprising:
