Abstract

The present application discloses a winding needle sleeve, a battery unit, a battery, a power-consuming device and a winding device. A wall of the winding needle sleeve is provided with a through slot extending through the wall. The through slot extends from one end to the other end of the winding needle sleeve, so as to allow expansion or contraction of the winding needle sleeve in a radial direction. The technical solution provided by the present application can solve the problem in the prior art that an electrode assembly collapses due to expansion and contraction thereof, resulting in wrinkling of a surface of the electrode assembly and the phenomenon of lithium deposition, thus causing potential safety hazards.

Claims (21)

1 . A winding needle sleeve, a wall of the winding needle sleeve being provided with a through slot extending through the wall, and the through slot extending from one end to the other end of the winding needle sleeve, so as to allow expansion or contraction of the winding needle sleeve in a radial direction.

2 . The winding needle sleeve according to claim 1 , wherein

the through slot extends linearly in an axial direction of the winding needle sleeve; or

the through slot extends helically about the central axis of the winding needle sleeve.

3 . The winding needle sleeve according to claim 1 , wherein the wall of the winding needle sleeve is further provided with a through hole for an electrolyte to pass.

4 . The winding needle sleeve according to claim 1 , wherein the winding needle sleeve comprises a first transmission portion, the first transmission portion being used for cooperating with a winding needle such that the winding needle can drive the winding needle sleeve to synchronously rotate.

5 . The winding needle sleeve according to claim 4 , wherein the first transmission portion comprises at least one recess, the recess extending from an end face of the winding needle sleeve in an axial direction of the winding needle sleeve.

6 . The winding needle sleeve according to claim 5 , wherein a plurality of recesses are provided, and the plurality of recesses are distributed at intervals about the central axis of the winding needle sleeve.

7 . A battery unit, comprising:

an electrode assembly; and

a winding needle sleeve according to claim 1 ,

wherein the winding needle sleeve is placed in a central hole of the electrode assembly.

8 . A battery, comprising a battery unit according to claim 7 .

9 . A power consuming device, comprising a battery according to claim 8 , the battery being used for supplying power.

10 . A winding device, comprising:

a driving mechanism;

a winding needle; and

a winding needle sleeve according to claim 1 ,

wherein the driving mechanism is used for driving the winding needle to rotate, the winding needle sleeve is sleeved on the winding needle, and the winding needle sleeve is used for winding an electrode plate and a separator stacked to each other to form an electrode assembly.

11 . The winding device according to claim 10 , wherein the winding needle comprises a second transmission portion, the second transmission portion is used for cooperating with the winding needle sleeve, such that the winding needle drives the winding needle sleeve to synchronously rotate.

12 . The winding device according to claim 10 , further comprising a compounding mechanism for compounding the separator to the winding needle sleeve.
