Abstract

A battery cell, a battery, an electrical device, and a device and method for manufacturing a battery cell are described. The battery cell includes a shell, an electrode assembly, and a current collecting member, where the electrode assembly is accommodated in the shell, and the electrode assembly is provided with a tab; the current collecting member includes a first connecting part and a second connecting part which are connected, the first connecting part is used to be welded to the tab, and the second connecting part is used to be welded to the shell; and the first connecting part and the second connecting part are made of different materials, the first connecting part and the tab are made of the same material, and the second connecting part and the shell are made of the same material.

Claims (23)

1 . A battery cell, comprising:

a shell;

an electrode assembly, accommodated in the shell, and provided with a tab; and

a current collecting member, comprising a first connecting part and a second connecting part which are connected, the first connecting part being used to be welded to the tab, and the second connecting part being used to be welded to the shell to achieve electrical connection between the tab and the shell;

wherein the first connecting part and the second connecting part are made of different materials, the first connecting part and the tab are made of the same material, and the second connecting part and the shell are made of the same material.

2 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the first connecting part and the second connecting part are stacked along the thickness direction of the current collecting member, and the first connecting part is arranged on the side of the second connecting part facing the electrode assembly.

3 . The battery cell according to claim 2 , wherein the second connecting part is provided with hollow parts penetrating through the second connecting part along the thickness direction; and

a welding area is formed at a position of the first connecting part corresponding to the hollow parts, and is used to be welded to the tab.

4 . The battery cell according to claim 2 , wherein the edge of the second connecting part is flush with the edge of the first connecting part.

5 . The battery cell according to claim 4 , wherein the first connecting part and the second connecting part are arranged coaxially and have equal radii.

6 . The battery cell according to claim 2 , wherein the edge of the second connecting part extends the edge of the first connecting part.

7 . The battery cell according to claim 6 , wherein the first connecting part and the second connecting part are arranged coaxially, and the radius of the second connecting part is greater than the radius of the first connecting part.

8 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the second connecting part encloses the periphery of the first connecting part.

9 . The battery cell according to claim 8 , wherein the first connecting part is provided with a first surface facing the electrode assembly, the second connecting part is provided with a second surface facing the electrode assembly, the first surface is closer to the electrode assembly than the second surface, and the first surface abuts against the tab.

10 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the current collecting member is arranged in the shell; and

the shell comprises:

a case, provided with a first opening; and

an end cover, used to cover the first opening, and used to be connected to the second connecting part.

11 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the shell is provided with a second opening, and the current collecting member is used to cover the second opening.

12 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the first connecting part is made of copper; and/or, the second connecting part is made of steel.

13 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the battery cell is cylindrical.

14 . A battery, comprising the battery cell according to claim 1 .

15 . An electrical device, comprising the battery according to claim 14 .
