In the related art, the traditional Z-shaped stacking or the novel continuous stacking is directly glued on the front and back sides of the electrode lugs after ultrasonic welding, and is used for protecting the electrode lugs from being lapped with the shell. However, in the subsequent transferring and production procedures, such as tab folding, tab deformation is easily pulled by glue to cause tab cracking, which affects battery performance.
In view of this, the embodiment of the application provides a technical solution, in which a first separator having a first bonding portion and a first non-bonding portion is disposed on an electrode assembly, so that the bonding firmness between the first separator and a first surface can be improved by the first bonding portion, and a part of the first tab is covered by the first non-bonding portion to effectively isolate the first tab from the housing, thereby reducing the risk of overlapping the first tab with the housing, and the first non-bonding portion has no adhesive material layer, and does not generate a pulling action with the first non-bonding portion in the deformation processes of pressing and bouncing the first tab, so as to improve the cracking phenomenon of the first tab.

The vehicle can be a fuel oil vehicle, a fuel gas vehicle or a new energy vehicle, and the new energy vehicle can be a pure electric vehicle, a hybrid electric vehicle or a range-extended vehicle and the like.

The electrode assembly 22 is a component in which electrochemical reactions occur in the battery cell 20. One or more electrode assemblies 22 may be contained within the housing 21. Electrode assembly 22 may be a wound structure, a laminated structure, a wound laminated composite structure, or other structure.

The first separator 23 may be an insulating member capable of effectively insulating the first tab 222 from the housing 21.
The first spacer 23 may be an insulating glue layer, for example, blue glue, for example.
The first adhesive part 231 is provided with an adhesive substance layer having an adhesive property and capable of being adhered to other members. The first non-adhesive portion 232 is not provided with an adhesive substance layer, is not adhesive, and does not adhere to other members.
The first bonding portion 231 may be integrally bonded to the first surface 2211, or a part of the first bonding portion 231 may be bonded to the first surface 2211.
The end of the first tab 222 remote from the main body 221 in the first direction Y exceeds the first separator 23, that is, the first non-adhesive portion 232 does not cover the end of the first tab 222 remote from the main body 221 in the thickness direction X, so that the first tab 222 is electrically connected with the electrode terminal on the case 21 at the end thereof remote from the main body 221.
In the thickness direction X, a part of the first tab 222 is covered with the first non-adhesive portion 232, and the first non-adhesive portion 232 acts to isolate a part of the first tab 222 only in the thickness direction X, and there is no adhesive relationship between the first non-adhesive portion 232 and the first tab 222.
The size of the portion of the first tab 222 covered by the first non-adhesive portion 232 along the first direction Y is greater than the size of the portion of the first tab 222 not covered by the first non-adhesive portion 232 along the first direction Y, so as to increase the area of the portion of the first tab 222 covered by the first non-adhesive portion 232 as much as possible, thereby improving the isolation effect.
Illustratively, the portion of the first tab 222 that is covered by the first non-adhesive portion 232 may be on a side of the portion that is not covered by the first non-adhesive portion 232 that is proximate to the main body portion 221.
The battery unit 20 provided by the embodiment of the application is provided with the first separator 23 comprising the first bonding part 231 and the first non-bonding part 232, and at least part of the first bonding part 231 is bonded to the first surface 2211 of the main body part 221, so that the bonding firmness between the first separator 23 and the first surface 2211 can be improved. The first non-bonding portion 232 covers a part of the first tab 222 in the thickness direction X, and the first non-bonding portion 232 can effectively isolate the first tab 222 from the housing 21, so that the risk of overlapping the first tab 222 and the housing 21 is reduced, the first non-bonding portion 232 is not sticky, a pulling action is not generated between the first tab 222 and the first non-bonding portion 232 in the deformation process of the first tab 222, the cracking phenomenon of the first tab 222 is improved, and the reliability of the battery cell is improved.
In some embodiments, in the second direction Z, both ends of the first non-adhesive portion 232 extend beyond the first tab 222, and the first direction Y, the second direction Z, and the thickness direction X are perpendicular to each other.
In other words, in the second direction Z, both ends of the first non-adhesive portion 232 along the second direction Z extend out of the first tab 222. The first non-bonding portion 232 is provided with a certain redundancy at two ends of the first tab 222 along the second direction Z, so that the covering effect of the first non-bonding portion 232 on the first tab 222 can be improved, and the possibility of bonding with the first bonding portion 231 in the deformation process of the first tab 222 can be reduced.
In some embodiments, the first non-adhesive portion 232 also covers a portion of the first surface 2211 in the thickness direction X. Thus, the area of the first non-adhesive portion 232 can be appropriately increased, and the effect of covering the first tab 222 with the first non-adhesive portion 232 can be improved, thereby improving the isolation effect of the first separator 23.
Alternatively, a portion of the first non-adhesive portion 232 in the first direction Y covers a portion of the first tab 222 in the thickness direction X, and another portion of the first non-adhesive portion 232 in the first direction Y covers a portion of the first surface 2211 in the thickness direction X.
In some embodiments, the first bonding portion 231 includes two first bonding regions 2311, the two first bonding regions 2311 are disposed on two sides of the first non-bonding portion 232 along the second direction Z, at least part of the first bonding regions 2311 are bonded to the first surface 2211, and the first direction Y, the second direction Z and the thickness direction X are perpendicular to each other.
The first adhesive area 2311 may have any shape, and may have a regular shape or an irregular shape. Alternatively, the first adhesive area 2311 may have a strip-shaped structure extending along the first direction Y to reduce the size of the first adhesive area 2311 in the second direction Z, thereby saving materials.
The first adhesive 2311 may be a continuous integral area or may include a plurality of discrete sub-areas.
The structures of the two first adhesive regions 2311 may be the same or different. Alternatively, the two first adhesive regions 2311 may be symmetrically disposed along the second direction Z.
Alternatively, the first adhesive region 2311 may be entirely adhered to the first surface 2211. Illustratively, the projection of the first adhesive 2311 in a reference plane perpendicular to the thickness direction X falls entirely within the projection of the first adhesive 2311 in the reference plane.
Alternatively, only a portion of first adhesive region 2311 is adhered to first surface 2211. Illustratively, in the second direction Z, an end of the first adhesive area 2311 extends beyond the main body 221, a portion of the first adhesive area 2311 extending beyond the main body 221 may be adhered to other components, and a portion of the first adhesive area 2311 not extending beyond the main body 221 may be adhered to the first surface 2211.
According to the embodiment of the application, the first bonding areas 2311 are respectively arranged at two sides of the first non-bonding part 232 along the second direction Z, so that not only can the bonding firmness between the first bonding part 231 and the first surface 2211 be improved, but also the flatness of the first non-bonding part 232 along the second direction Z can be improved, thereby effectively covering a part of the first tab 222 by the first non-bonding part 232, and improving the protection effect of the first spacer 23 on the first tab 222 in the second direction Z.
In some embodiments, the number of the first spacers 23 is at least two, and at least two first spacers 23 are disposed two by two in the thickness direction X. The first adhesive region 2311 includes a first sub-region 2311a and a second sub-region 2311b, the first sub-region 2311a being adhered to the first surface 2211, and the second sub-regions 2311b of the two first spacers 23 disposed opposite to each other in the thickness direction X being adhered.
The first sub-region 2311a may be a portion of the first adhesive region 2311 protruding from the main body 221 in the first direction Y, and the second sub-region 2311b may be a portion of the first adhesive region 2311 overlapping the main body 221 in the thickness direction X.
The two first spacers 23 opposing in the thickness direction X may be symmetrically disposed in the thickness direction X.
The number of the first spacers 23 may be two, or may be four, six, or more. It is understood that the number of the first spacers 23 is an even number.
The two first spacers 23 disposed opposite to each other in the thickness direction X can protect the first tab 222 on both sides of the first tab 222, further reducing the possibility of the first tab 222 overlapping the housing 21.
The second sub-areas 2311b of the two first separators 23, which are oppositely disposed along the thickness direction X, are bonded, so that not only the connection stability between the two first separators 23 and the electrode assembly 22 is improved, but also the two first separators 23 can be tightly attached to the electrode assembly 22, and in the second direction Z, the portions of the first tabs 222 covered by the first non-bonding portions 232 are blocked by the second sub-areas 2311b of the two first separators 23 along the two sides of the second direction Z, so that the protection effect of the first separators 23 on the first tabs 222 is further improved.
In some embodiments, the dimension d of the first adhesive area 2311 along the second direction Z is greater than or equal to 5mm.
Too small a dimension d of the first adhesive area 2311 along the second direction Z may affect the adhesive strength and the firmness of the first adhesive area 2311 and the first surface 2211. For this reason, the embodiment of the present application sets the dimension d of the first adhesive region 2311 in the second direction Z to be greater than or equal to 5mm, which can improve the connection stability between the first separator 23 and the electrode assembly 22 and reduce the possibility of the first separator 23 falling off.
It will be appreciated that the dimension of the first adhesive 2311 in the second direction Z is not too large to save material and improve the flatness of the first separator 23. The size of the first adhesive region 2311 in the second direction Z may be appropriately selected according to the size of the electrode assembly 22 in the second direction Z on the basis of securing the coupling strength. For example, the larger the size of the electrode assembly 22 in the second direction Z, the larger the size of the first adhesive region 2311 in the second direction Z.
In some embodiments, the first adhesive 231 includes a second adhesive 2312 between the two first adhesive 2311, the second adhesive 2312 being adhered to the first surface 2211.
The second adhesive region 2312 may be located at any position between the two first adhesive regions 2311 in the second direction Z as long as it can be adhered to the first surface 2211.
In the first direction Y, the second adhesive region 2312 is spaced apart from the first tab 222, and at least a portion of the first non-adhesive portion 232 is between the second adhesive region 2312 and the first tab 222 to be adhered to the first surface 2211.
The second adhesive area 2312 may have any shape, and may have a regular shape or an irregular shape.
The second adhesive 2312 may be a continuous integral area or may include a plurality of discrete sub-areas.
The structure of the second adhesive 2312 may be the same as or different from that of the first adhesive 2311.
The inventor has recognized that when the first tab 222 is bent, the first non-adhesive portion 232 between the two first adhesive regions 2311 may bulge and deform, thereby affecting the adhesive effect between the first adhesive regions 2311 and the first surface 2211.
For this reason, in the embodiment of the present application, the second bonding area 2312 is disposed between the two first bonding areas 2311, and on one hand, the second bonding area 2312 can increase the area of the first bonding portion 231, thereby improving the bonding strength and the bonding effect; on the other hand, the phenomenon that the first non-bonding portion 232 bulges due to the bending influence of the first tab 222 can be improved, so that the first non-bonding portion 232 is smoother in the bending process of the first tab 222, and the protection effect is improved.
In some embodiments, the second adhesive area 2312 extends continuously along the second direction Z, and two ends of the second adhesive area 2312 are respectively connected to the two first adhesive areas 2311.
In the first direction Y, the second adhesive region 2312 is spaced apart from the first tab 222, and at least a portion of the first non-adhesive portion 232 is formed between the second tab 223 and the first tab 222.
Alternatively, the first adhesive 2311 extends in the first direction Y, the second adhesive 2312 extends in the second direction Z, and the second adhesive 2312 and the two first adhesive 2311 are connected to form a substantially U-shaped structure.
The second adhesive area 2312 has a size in the first direction Y of 5mm or more.
The size of the second adhesive area 2312 in the first direction Y may be the same as the size of the first adhesive area 2311 in the second direction Z.
The second adhesive region 2312 is integrally formed with the two first adhesive regions 2311, and has higher adhesive strength, and the connection between the first separator 23 and the electrode assembly 22 is more stable.
As shown in connection with fig. 8, in some embodiments, the second adhesive region 2312 includes a plurality of third sub-regions 2312a spaced apart along the second direction Z, and a portion of the first non-adhesive portion 232 is formed between adjacent third sub-regions 2312a and between the third sub-regions 2312a and the first adhesive region 2311.
The third sub-area 2312a may have any shape, and may have a regular shape or an irregular shape. Illustratively, the third sub-region 2312a may be square, circular, etc.
The inventors have recognized that when the first separator 23 is bonded to the electrode assembly 22, there may be bubbles that cause poor bonding. To this end, the embodiment of the present application provides the second bonding region 2312 to include a plurality of third sub-regions 2312a spaced apart, gaps are formed between adjacent third sub-regions 2312a and between the third sub-regions 2312a and the first bonding region 2311, and the gaps form a part of the first non-bonding part 232 through which bubbles can be discharged at the time of bonding, so that the bonding of the first separator 23 and the electrode assembly 22 is smoother.
In some embodiments, the second adhesive region 2312 is disposed between ends of the two first adhesive regions 2311 facing away from the first tab 222 along the first direction Y.
Both ends of the second adhesive region 2312 along the second direction Z may be respectively connected to ends of the two first adhesive regions 2311 along the first direction Y facing away from the first tab 222. The two ends of the second adhesive area 2312 along the second direction Z may also be spaced apart from the ends of the two first adhesive areas 2311 along the first direction Y facing away from the first tab 222.
In the embodiment of the application, the second bonding areas 2312 are disposed between the ends of the two first bonding areas 2311 facing away from the first tab 222 along the first direction Y, so that the first bonding portions 231 are more adhered to the first surface 2211, and the possibility that the first spacers 23 tilt on the first surface 2211 is reduced.
In some embodiments, the number of the first tabs 222 is plural, and the first tabs 222 are disposed at intervals along the second direction Z, and the first direction Y, the second direction Z and the thickness direction X are perpendicular to each other. The first non-adhesive portion 232 of the first separator 23 covers a part of each first tab 222 in the thickness direction X.
A gap is formed between adjacent first tabs 222, and the first separator 23 also covers a part of the gap between adjacent first tabs 222 in the thickness direction X. Illustratively, the first non-adhesive portion 232 of the first separator 23 covers a portion of the gap between adjacent first tabs 222. Of course, as another example, the first adhesive 231 may cover a part of the gap between the adjacent first tabs 222.
The first non-adhesive portions 232 of the first separator 23 extend beyond the two first tabs 222 at the ends in the second direction Z, respectively, at both ends in the second direction Z.
In the case where a plurality of first tabs 222 are drawn out at the same end of the main body 221, the plurality of first tabs 222 are generally closer to each other. In this case, in the embodiment of the present application, a part of the plurality of first tabs 222 is covered by one first spacer 23, which can play a role in protecting and isolating the plurality of first tabs 222, and only one first spacer 23 needs to be adhered, so that the assembly process is simplified, and the assembly efficiency is improved.
