Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a battery cell to alleviate the problem of impurities falling into an electrode assembly. Wherein, the battery cell includes: an electrode assembly including a tab and a cell body, wherein the tab is connected to the cell body; a cover plate assembly including an electrode terminal and a cover plate, wherein the electrode terminal is disposed on the cover plate; a connecting sheet connected between the tab and the electrode terminal, the connecting sheet includes a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion, wherein the first connecting portion is connected to the tab, and the second connecting portion is connected to the electrode terminal; an insulating pallet disposed between the cell body and the connecting sheet; and an insulation member disposed between the insulating pallet and the second connecting portion.

Claims (21)

1. A battery cell, comprising:

an electrode assembly comprising a tab and a cell body, wherein the tab is connected to the cell body;

a cover plate assembly comprising an electrode terminal and a cover plate, wherein the electrode terminal is disposed on the cover plate;

a connecting sheet connected between the tab and the electrode terminal, the connecting sheet comprises a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion, wherein the first connecting portion is connected to the tab, and the second connecting portion is connected to the electrode terminal;

an insulating pallet disposed between the cell body and the connecting sheet; and

an insulation member disposed between the insulating pallet and the second connecting portion,

wherein the insulating pallet and the connecting sheet both abut against the insulation member;

wherein the insulating pallet comprises a body portion and a carrying portion connected to the body portion,

wherein the body portion abuts against the cell body, the carrying portion protrudes in a direction that is closer to the second connecting portion than to the body portion, and the insulation member is disposed between the carrying portion and the second connecting portion; and

wherein the insulating pallet further comprises an insert portion, which is connected to a side of the body portion, and is farther from the cell body than the body portion, and at least a part of the tab is located between the insert portion and the cell body.

2. The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the second connecting portion protrudes in a direction that is closer to the electrode terminal than to the first connecting portion, and a first groove is provided on one side of the second connecting portion proximate to the electrode assembly.

3. The battery cell according to claim 2 , wherein the insulation member covers an open end of the first groove.

4. The battery cell according to claim 3 , wherein the insulating pallet comprises a carrying portion protruding towards the second connecting portion, and the carrying portion and the first connecting portion jointly limit the insulation member.

5. The battery cell according to claim 2 , wherein the insulation member is disposed within the first groove.

6. The battery cell according to claim 5 , wherein the insulating pallet comprises a carrying portion protruding towards the second connecting portion, and the carrying portion projects into the first groove, and the carrying portion and a bottom of the first groove jointly limit the insulation member.

7. The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the insulation member comprises foam, rubber cloth, or solid glue.

8. The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the insulation member comprises a solid rubber strip or a colloidal object formed by gumming and curing on the insulating pallet.

9. The battery cell according to claim 8 , wherein the insulation member comprises a colloidal object formed by gumming and curing on the insulating pallet, and a plurality of second holes are provided on an area of the insulating pallet that is in contact with the insulation member, so as to prevent overflow of glue.

10. A battery module comprising the battery cell according to claim 1 .

11. A battery pack comprising the battery module according to claim 10 .

12. A device using the battery cell according to claim 1 as a power supply.
