Abstract

Embodiments of the present application provide a battery cell, a battery, and a power consumption device. The battery cell includes a housing; a cover plate, including a cover plate body part and a first edge part, where the housing and the first edge part are connected in a sealing manner and form a crimping structure turned outwards; and a reinforcing member, disposed on a side of the cover plate body part away from an inner portion of the battery cell, at least part of the reinforcing member being located between an inner side of the crimping structure and the cover plate body part.

Claims (26)

1 . A battery cell, comprising:

a housing;

a cover plate, comprising a cover plate body part and a first edge part, wherein the housing and the first edge part are connected in a sealing manner and form a crimping structure turned outwards; and

a reinforcing member, disposed on a side of the cover plate body part away from an inner portion of the battery cell, at least part of the reinforcing member being located between an inner side of the crimping structure and the cover plate body part.

2 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing member is in contact with an inner surface of the crimping structure.

3 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing member is ring-shaped.

4 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein a cross section of the reinforcing member along a first plane is substantially a polygon, and the first plane passes through a central axis of the battery cell.

5 . The battery cell according to claim 4 , wherein the polygon is a triangle or a quadrangle.

6 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing member comprises a reinforcing member body part and an extension part that are connected, the reinforcing member body part is located between the inner side of the crimping structure and the cover plate body part, and the extension part extends outwards from the reinforcing member body part in a direction of a central axis of the battery cell.

7 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing member is a solid structure.

8 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein a first surface of the reinforcing member is parallel to an inner surface of the crimping structure, a second surface of the reinforcing member is parallel to the cover plate body part, and a range of an included angle between the first surface and the second surface is (0°, 60°].

9 . The battery cell according to claim 8 , wherein a fillet is provided at an intersection of the first surface and the second surface.

10 . The battery cell according to claim 9 , wherein a range of a radius of the fillet is [0.5 mm, 2 mm].

11 . The battery cell according to claim 8 , wherein a third surface and the second surface of the reinforcing member intersect, and a range of an included angle between the third surface and the second surface is [80°, 90°].

12 . The battery cell according to claim 8 , wherein a length of the first surface in a first direction is greater than a length of the inner surface of the crimping structure in the first direction, the first direction is parallel to the first surface and perpendicular to an intersection line of the first surface and the second surface.

13 . The battery cell according to claim 8 , wherein the first surface of the reinforcing member is deformed to be parallel to a central axis of the battery cell when a pressure of the inner portion of the battery cell against the reinforcing member is greater than or equal to 0.5 MPa.

14 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein a material of the reinforcing member comprises at least one of aluminum alloy, steel, and titanium alloy.

15 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the housing comprises a housing body part and a second edge part, the second edge part is close to an opening of the housing, and the second edge part and the first edge part are wound to form the crimping structure.

16 . The battery cell according to claim 15 , wherein the crimping structure comprises a converging part and a winding part; the first edge part and the second edge part converge and are connected at the converging part; and the winding part is connected to the converging part, and is wound outwards from the converging part to form the winding part.

17 . The battery cell according to claim 16 , wherein a first surface of the reinforcing member is in contact with an inner surface of the converging part.

18 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein a portion of the housing body part close to the second edge part is provided with a stepped part extending towards a central axis of the housing, and the stepped part is configured such that a maximum distance from the crimping structure to the central axis of the housing is less than or equal to a maximum distance from the housing body part to the central axis of the housing, and

wherein a sealant is filled between the first edge part and the second edge part.

19 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the housing is of a hollow structure with openings at two ends, the battery cell comprises two cover plates, and the two cover plates are configured to cover the openings at the two ends respectively, and

wherein the battery cell is a cylinder, the cover plate is a circle, and the reinforcing member is in a shape of a circular ring.

20 . A battery, comprising:

a plurality of battery cells comprising the battery cell according to claim 1 .
