Abstract

Embodiments of the present application provide a battery cell, a battery, and a power consumption apparatus, which could effectively improve performance of the battery without increasing the internal space of the battery. The battery cell includes: at least two electrode assemblies, a surface of each electrode assembly of the at least two electrode assemblies including a curved part, and curved parts of two adjacent electrode assemblies of the at least two electrode assemblies forming an accommodating space; and a lithium replenishing apparatus, at least part of the lithium replenishing apparatus being disposed in the accommodating space.

Claims (21)

1 . A battery cell, comprising:

at least two electrode assemblies, a surface of each electrode assembly comprising a curved part, and curved parts of two adjacent electrode assemblies forming an accommodating space; and

a lithium replenishing apparatus, at least part of the lithium replenishing apparatus being disposed in the accommodating space.

2 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein a shape of the lithium replenishing apparatus is cylindrical.

3 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the lithium replenishing apparatus is a lithium replenishing block.

4 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein an axis of the lithium replenishing apparatus is parallel to axes of the at least two electrode assemblies.

5 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein at least part of the lithium replenishing apparatus fills up the accommodating space.

6 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein each electrode assembly comprises a first end face and a second end face that are opposite to each other, the first end face is provided with tabs, and the battery cell further comprises:

an end cover disposed towards the first end face and parallel to the first end face, the end cover being provided with a lithium replenishing electrode terminal.

7 . The battery cell according to claim 6 , wherein the lithium replenishing apparatus comprises a lithium replenishing agent, and the lithium replenishing agent is electrically connected with the lithium replenishing electrode terminal.

8 . The battery cell according to claim 7 , wherein the lithium replenishing apparatus further comprises a conductive assembly, and the conductive assembly coats the lithium replenishing agent, wherein the conductive assembly is configured to electrically connect the lithium replenishing agent and the lithium replenishing electrode terminal.

9 . The battery cell according to claim 8 , wherein a shape of the conductive assembly is helical.

10 . The battery cell according to claim 6 , wherein a side of the lithium replenishing apparatus facing the end cover is provided with a lead-out end, and the lead-out end is connected with the lithium replenishing electrode terminal.

11 . The battery cell according to claim 6 , wherein the end cover is further provided with a negative electrode terminal, and the negative electrode terminal is connected with the at least two electrode assemblies; and

wherein the lithium replenishing electrode terminal is configured to be short circuited with the negative electrode terminal when the lithium replenishing apparatus replenishes the battery cell with lithium.

12 . The battery cell according to claim 11 , wherein the lithium replenishing electrode terminal is disposed on a side of the end cover close to the negative electrode terminal.

13 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the surface of each electrode assembly further comprises a planar part, the planar part and the curved part are connected, and planar parts of the two adjacent electrode assemblies are opposite and connected.

14 . A battery, comprising:

the battery cell according to claim 1 ; and

a box, configured to accommodate the battery cell.

15 . A power consumption apparatus, comprising the battery according to claim 14 , wherein the battery is configured to provide electric energy.
