Description

Cylindrical secondary battery and current collector plate applied thereto, and battery pack and vehicle including the cylindrical secondary battery}

The present invention relates to a cylindrical secondary battery, a current collector applied thereto, and a battery pack and automobile including the cylindrical secondary battery.

More specifically, a current collector plate having a structure capable of preventing the core portion of the electrode assembly from escaping from the electrode assembly core hole (winding hole) due to venting pressure, etc., a cylindrical battery cell including the same, and the cylindrical battery cell It relates to battery packs and automobiles that do.

Conventional cylindrical secondary batteries generally have a structure in which a tab connecting a jelly-roll type electrode assembly and an external terminal is welded to a foil of the electrode assembly. In the cylindrical secondary battery having such a structure, the current path is limited and the self-resistance of the electrode assembly is inevitably high.

Accordingly, a method of lowering the resistance by increasing the number of tabs connecting the jelly-roll type electrode assembly and the external terminal has been attempted, but just by increasing the number of tabs in this way, the resistance is lowered to a desired level and the current path is sufficiently Acquisition was limited.

Accordingly, it is necessary to develop a new jelly-roll type electrode assembly structure and a current collector structure suitable for this structure in order to reduce the self-resistance of the electrode assembly. In particular, the application of the electrode assembly and the current collector plate of this new structure is more necessary for devices that require a battery pack having high output/high capacity, such as, for example, an electric vehicle.

The current collector plate may be coupled to the inner surface of the battery can by being welded to the electrode assembly and at the same time having an end thereof bent.

The non-coated portion becomes the first and second electrode tabs 11 and 12 to be described later, and may be respectively coupled to current collector plates having corresponding polarities.

In this case, the collector plate 30 coupled to the electrode assembly 10 also has a collector plate hole H2 at a position corresponding to the winding hole H1. The collector plate hole H2 communicates with the winding hole H1, and electrolyte is injected through these holes and welding between other parts is performed. That is, the winding hole H1 and the current collecting plate hole H2 are essential components for forming a space for improving liquid injectability and welding parts.

On the other hand, the upper part of the electrode assembly 10 is coupled to the current collector plate and regulated, but the electrode assembly core portion C around the winding hole H1 is not regulated because the upper portion of the electrode assembly 10 is drilled into the space of the current collector hole H2 thereon. state is not For this reason, when the gas venting pressure inside the secondary battery is directed toward the collector plate 30, there is a risk that the electrode assembly core portion C may come out through the collector plate hole H2. In this case, the structure of the electrode assembly is damaged, thereby destroying a stable electrical connection with the current collector plate and causing a short circuit.

Therefore, it is desired to develop a cylindrical secondary battery having a structure capable of preventing the core of the electrode assembly from coming out through the collector plate hole and a collector plate structure applied to the cylindrical secondary battery.

The battery can 20 is a substantially cylindrical container having an open portion formed on one side thereof, and is made of a conductive metal material. It is common that the side surface of the battery can 20 and the lower surface (lower surface with reference to FIG. 3) located on the opposite side of the opening are integrally formed. That is, the battery can 20 generally has an open upper end and a closed lower end in the height direction. The lower surface of the battery can 20 may have a substantially flat shape. The battery can 20 accommodates the electrode assembly 10 through an opening formed on one side in the height direction. The battery can 20 may also accommodate an electrolyte through the opening.

The battery can 20 may include a beading portion 21 formed at an upper end thereof. The battery can 20 may further include a crimping portion 22 formed on the beading portion 21 . The beading part 21 has a shape in which the circumference of the outer circumferential surface of the battery can 20 is press-fitted to a predetermined depth. The beading part 21 is formed on the upper part of the electrode assembly 10 .

The beading part 21 provides a support surface on which the cap plate 40 can be seated. In addition, the beading part 21 may provide a support surface on which at least a part of the edge circumference of the current collector plate 30, which will be described later, can be seated and coupled. That is, at least a part of the periphery of the current collector plate 30 and/or the periphery of the cap plate 40 of the present invention may be seated on the upper surface of the beading part 21 . The pressing depth and shape of the beading part 21 may be variously modified as needed. It is also possible that the beading portion 21 is omitted and at least a part of the edge circumference of the current collector plate 30 is directly attached to the flat sidewall of the battery can 20 .

The crimping part 22 is formed on the upper part of the beading part 21 . The crimping part 22 has a shape extended and bent to surround the periphery of the cap plate 40 disposed above the beading part 21 . Due to the shape of the crimping portion 22 , the cap plate 40 is fixed on the beading portion 21 . Of course, it is also possible to omit the crimping portion 22 and fix the cap plate 40 while covering the open portion of the battery can 20 through another fixing structure.

Next, referring to FIGS. 3 to 6 , the current collector (first collector plate) 30 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

First, referring to FIGS. 3 to 5 , the current collector 30 according to an embodiment of the present invention is accommodated inside the battery can 20 and electrically connected to the electrode assembly 10, and also the battery can. (20) and electrically connected. That is, the current collector plate 30 electrically connects the electrode assembly 10 and the battery can 20 .

The current collector plate 30 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a central portion 31 and a plurality of tab coupling portions that radially extend from the central portion 31 and are spaced apart from each other and coupled to the first electrode tab 11. (32) may be included.

The central portion 31 and the plurality of tab coupling portions 32 are disposed above the electrode assembly 10 and are lower than the beading portion 21 when the beading portion 21 is formed in the battery can 20. located in

The central part 31 includes a current collecting plate hole H2 formed at a position corresponding to the winding hole H1 formed in the central part of the electrode assembly 10 . The winding hole H1 and the current collector hole H2 communicating with each other are welded between the cell terminal 50 and the current collector plate (second collector plate) (P) or a cell terminal 50 and a lead tab (not shown). ) can function as a passage for insertion of a welding rod for welding between the cells or laser irradiation.

The plurality of tab coupling parts 32 may have a shape extending substantially radially from the center 31 of the current collector plate 30 toward the sidewall of the battery can 20 . Each of the plurality of tap coupling parts 32 may be spaced apart from each other along the circumference of the central portion 31 . On the other hand, in order to secure bonding strength and reduce electrical resistance by increasing the bonding area between the current collector plate 30 and the electrode assembly 10, the center portion 31 as well as the tab coupling part 32 is also the first electrode tab 11 can also be combined with

The current collector plate 30 of the present invention, Characterized in that a first bent portion is formed around the current collector hole (H2) to be inserted into the winding hole (H1) of the electrode assembly to regulate the movement of the core part (C) of the electrode assembly around the winding hole (H1) do.

As shown in FIG. 3, since the winding hole H1 in the center of the electrode assembly and the current collector hole H2 of the current collector plate communicate with each other, when gas is generated in the battery and the gas pressure is generated, the communication space Through this, the circumferential portion (core portion C) of the electrode assembly winding hole H1 may come out. That is, since the electrode assembly is simply wound and the center (winding hole H1) is empty, there is a risk that the core portion C is released upward through the winding hole H1 and the collector plate hole. . The stronger the gas pressure, the greater this risk. When the core part (C) is released, the jelly roll shape of the electrode assembly is partially collapsed, and thus, the bonding force between the current collector plate and the electrode assembly may be weakened. In this case, an electrical connection between the first collector plate and the electrode assembly is disconnected, and a short circuit may occur. In order to prevent this, the present invention forms a limiting portion for regulating the movement of the core portion C around the current collector hole H2 formed at a position corresponding to the winding hole H1.

Specifically, the regulating portion inserted into the winding hole H1 is a first bent portion 31a bent downward toward the winding hole of the electrode assembly. In order to regulate the movement of the core part, the first bent part 31a may be adjacent to (see FIG. 4(b)) or contact (see FIGS. 3 and 4(a)) the inner circumferential surface of the winding hole. When the first electrode tab 11 of the electrode assembly is coupled to the current collector plate 30 by, for example, welding, the first bent portion contacts the inner circumferential surface of the winding hole as shown in FIG. 3 or is adjacent to it as shown in FIG. 4(b). By being positioned in such a way, the upward movement of the electrode assembly core portion (C) is restricted.

As shown in Fig. 4(a), when the first bent portion 31a closely contacts the inner circumferential surface of the winding hole H1, the movement of the core portion can be reliably restricted. Meanwhile, in the case of the embodiment in which the first bent portion 31a is positioned adjacent to the inner circumferential surface of the winding hole H1 as shown in FIG. 4(b), future swelling of the electrode assembly is considered. That is, since the first bent portion 31a is located adjacent to the inner circumferential surface of the winding hole H1 even in the embodiment of FIG. When the assembly swells, the first bent portion 31a may come into contact with the inner circumferential surface of the winding hole. Accordingly, the embodiment of FIG. 4(b) may be referred to as an embodiment related to a regulator considering swelling of a secondary battery.

The shape of the first bent portion 31a may be continuously extended along the circumference of the current collector hole H2 (see FIG. 5), but may also be discontinuously extended (see FIG. 6). ). The shape to be taken can be appropriately determined in consideration of the shaping operation of the current collector plate or the ease of the bending operation of the first bent portion 31a, or the effect of regulating the core portion C. For example, since the first bent part 31a of FIG. 6 consists of a plurality of bent parts spaced apart from each other, it is relatively easy to bend it downward. However, since the bent parts are spaced apart, a part of the core part C of the electrode assembly may protrude through the spaced gap, so the shape of FIG. 5 may be preferred in terms of the core part regulation effect.

The length of the first bent portion 31a may be determined within an appropriate range in consideration of the effect of regulating the core portion. For example, when the first electrode tab 11 has a range of 2 to 10 mm, the first bent portion 31a may be determined in a range of 0.5 to 7 mm. If the length of the first bent part 31a is too short, the effect of regulating the core part may be weakened, and if the length of the first bent part 31a is too long, forming and bending operations may become difficult and a coupling operation with the electrode assembly 10 may become cumbersome. there is. Accordingly, the length of the first bent portion 31a may be equal to or different from that of the first electrode tab 11 within a range where the core portion regulation can be efficiently achieved. Preferably, if the length of the first electrode tab 11 is the same, the first bent portion 31a may stably regulate the electrode assembly 10 . In one embodiment, the appropriate length of the first bent portion 31a may be determined in the range of 1 to 3 mm.

Referring to FIGS. 7 to 9 , second bent portions 32a bent upward in a direction opposite to the first electrode tab 11 are formed at both sides of the tab coupling portion 32 in the width direction. In this way, when the second bent portion 32a is formed on both sides of the tab coupling portion 32, the structural rigidity of the tab coupling portion increases. That is, the tab coupling portion 32 having the second bent portion 32a has bending rigidity, so that bending deformation is difficult to occur. Therefore, even when bending stress is applied to the current collector plate during the welding operation between the current collector plate 30 and the electrode assembly 10, the bending of the tab coupling portion 32 of the current collector plate can be prevented. Alternatively, even if external shock and vibration are repeatedly applied to the secondary battery during use after completion of the secondary battery, bending of the tab coupling part 32 can be prevented. Accordingly, since the welding joint between the current collector plate 30 and the electrode assembly 10 is not deformed and the welding connection is stably maintained, the electrical connection between the current collector plate and the electrode assembly can also be stably maintained.

As shown in FIG. 3 , the plurality of tab coupling parts 32 may be coupled to, for example, the beading part 21 of the inner surface of the battery can 20 . The tap coupling parts 32 may be particularly coupled to the upper surface of the beading part 21 . In the cylindrical secondary battery 1 of the present invention, when this structure is applied, the tab coupling part ( 32) can be naturally seated on the beading part 21. Therefore, a welding process between the battery can 20 and the current collector 30 can be easily performed. The longitudinal end 32-1 of the tab coupling part 32 is bent upward in a direction opposite to the first electrode tab 11, and is placed on the beading part 21 of the inner surface of the battery can 10. are combined

In this case, in the tap coupling portion 32, only both sides of the tap coupling portion 32 in the width direction excluding the portion of the longitudinal end portion 32-1 that is bent upward to be coupled to the beading portion 21. It is preferable to form the second bent portion 32a. This is because when the second bent portion 32a is formed up to the longitudinal end portion 32-1, the bending rigidity of the portion increases, making it difficult to perform an upward bending operation for coupling the beading portion.

Forming the first bent portion 31a around the current collector hole and forming the second bent portion 32a on both sides in the width direction may be performed by mechanically bending the corresponding portion or by injection molding or It can be achieved by other molding methods.

As shown in FIG. 7 , the second bent portion 32a may be continuously formed on both sides along the longitudinal direction of the tab coupling portion 32 . However, it is not limited thereto, and it is also possible to form a gap along both sides of the tab coupling part, that is, discontinuously. In addition, the height of the second bent portion 32a may be constant, or a form in which the height may vary along the longitudinal direction of the tap coupling portion 32 is also possible.

The height of the second bent portion 32a may be determined to the extent that it does not come into contact with the inner surface of the battery can 20 or come into contact with other parts that may be installed in the battery can 20 . As one embodiment, when the thickness of the current collector 30 is 0.3t (0.3mm), the height of the second bent portion 32a may be 1mm or less.

As such, the current collector plate 30 having enhanced bending rigidity by forming the first bent portion 31a around the current collector hole H2 or having the second bent portion 32a, as shown in FIG. (30) has a special technical meaning when a space is formed on it. That is, as shown in FIG. 3 , when the longitudinal end portion 32-1 of the current collector plate 30 is bent upward for coupling with the beading portion 21, the tab coupling portion 32 welded to the electrode assembly 10 A space is inevitably formed on the upper surface of, and in this case, the core part (C) of the electrode assembly can come out into this space. Alternatively, there is a high possibility that a bending phenomenon may occur in the tab coupling part 32 .

Therefore, in the cylindrical secondary battery having this type of internal structure, the technical significance of regulating the core portion by the first bent portion 31a and preventing deformation of the welded portion by the second bent portion is greater.

8 and 9 are views showing modified examples of the second bent portion.

8 is an example in which, in addition to the second bent portion 32a, a third bent portion 32b bent outward from the second bent portion 32a in parallel with the width direction of the tap coupling portion 32 is formed. am.

9 is an example in which a third bent portion 32b' bent inwardly parallel to the width direction of the tap coupling portion is formed in addition to the second bent portion 32a.

In this way, when the third bent portions 32b and 32b' are additionally formed, there is an advantage in that the bending rigidity of the tab coupling portion 32 is further strengthened.

10 is a cross-sectional view showing the internal structure of a cylindrical secondary battery according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 11 to 13 are views showing current collector plates according to various embodiments of the present invention.

The cylindrical secondary battery of FIG. 10 includes the current collector plate shown in FIG. 11 .

The current collector plate 30 of the embodiment of FIGS. 11 to 13 extends from the center 31 in addition to a plurality of tab coupling portions 32 extending from the center 31 and coupled to the first electrode tab 11, It includes a plurality of first can coupling parts 33 coupled to the inner surface of the battery can 20 . The tap coupling portion 32 and the first can coupling portion 33 are indirectly connected through the central portion 31 and are not directly connected to each other. Therefore, when an external impact is applied to the cylindrical secondary battery 1 of the present invention, the joint between the current collector 30 and the electrode assembly 10 and the joint between the current collector 30 and the battery can 20 are damaged. possibility of occurrence can be minimized.

The central portion 31 and the plurality of tab coupling portions 32 are disposed above the electrode assembly 10 and are lower than the beading portion 21 when the beading portion 21 is formed in the battery can 20. located in

Therefore, since the tap coupling part 32 of the present embodiment is not in a form in which the longitudinal end is bent upward, the tab coupling part 32 is upwardly bent on both sides in the width direction to the end along the entire length direction of the tap coupling part 32. Two bent parts 32a can be formed (see Fig. 12).

Meanwhile, the plurality of first can coupling parts 33 may have a shape extending substantially radially from the center 31 of the current collector plate 30 toward the sidewall of the battery can 20 . Each of the plurality of first can coupling parts 33 may be spaced apart from each other along the circumference of the central portion 31 . At least one first can coupling unit 33 may be positioned between the adjacent tab coupling units 32 . The plurality of first can coupling parts 33 may be coupled to, for example, the beading part 21 of the inner surface of the battery can 20 . The first can coupling parts 33 may be particularly coupled to the upper surface of the beading part 21 . In the cylindrical secondary battery 1 of the present invention, when this structure is applied, the first can is coupled through a process of accommodating the electrode assembly 10 in a state in which the current collector plate 30 is coupled into the battery can 20 The part 33 can be naturally seated on the beading part 21 . Therefore, a welding process between the battery can 20 and the current collector 30 can be easily performed. In addition, the upper surface of the beading part 21 has a form extending along a direction substantially parallel to the lower surface of the battery can 20, that is, a direction substantially perpendicular to the sidewall of the battery can 20, and the first can coupling part 33 ) It is also possible to stably contact the first can coupling part 33 on the beading part 21 by having an extended form along the same direction.

The first contact portion 33a is brought into close contact with the beading portion 21.

In addition, even if the electrode assembly 10 moves up and down due to vibration and/or impact occurring during the use of the cylindrical secondary battery 1, the structure capable of contraction and extension of the first connection portion 33b maintains the electrode within a certain range.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 10 , the cap plate 40 covers the opening formed on one side of the battery can 20 . The cap plate 40 may be fixed by a crimping part 22 formed on the top of the battery can 20 . In this case, a sealing gasket G1 is interposed between the battery can 20 and the cap plate 40 and between the current collector 30 and the cap plate 40 to improve fixing force and airtightness of the battery can 20. It could be. However, in the present invention, the cap plate 40 is not a part that should function as a passage of current. Therefore, if it is possible to firmly fix the battery can 20 and the cap plate 40 through welding or fixation according to the application of other parts and to secure the airtightness of the opening of the battery can 20, the sealing gasket G1 Application is not essential.

When the sealing gasket G1 is applied, the extended length of the portion interposed between the current collector 30 and the cap plate 40 of the sealing gasket G1 is interposed between the battery can 20 and the cap plate 40. Compared to the extended length of the part, it can be formed shorter. In particular, in the cylindrical secondary battery of FIG. 8, when the sealing gasket G1 extends too long in a direction toward the center of the cylindrical secondary battery 1 inside the battery can 20, the sealing gasket G1 and Deformation of the current collector plate 30 may occur due to interference between the current collector plates 30, and as a result, a welded portion between the current collector plate 30 and the battery can 20 and/or the current collector plate 30 and the electrode tab 11 may be deformed. ) may cause defects due to force being applied to the welded part between them.

Accordingly, the cell terminal 50 has the same polarity as the second electrode of the electrode assembly 10 and can function as the second electrode terminal T2. When the second electrode tab 12 is a positive electrode tab, the cell terminal 50 may function as a positive electrode terminal.

Considering the polarity and function of the cell terminal 50, the cell terminal 50 must maintain an insulation state from the battery can 20 having the opposite polarity. To this end, an insulating gasket G2 may be applied between the cell terminal 50 and the battery can 20 . Alternatively, insulation may be realized by coating a portion of the surface of the cell terminal 50 with an insulating material.

For the same reason, the second electrode tab 12 and/or the current collector (second collector plate) P must be insulated from the battery can 20 . To this end, an insulator I may be interposed between the second electrode tab 12 and the battery can 20 and/or between the current collecting plate (second current collecting plate) P and the battery can 20 . When the insulator I is applied, the cell terminal 50 may pass through the insulator I for electrical connection with the second electrode tab 12 .

Therefore, in the cylindrical secondary battery 1 according to the present invention, both positive and negative electrodes can be connected in one direction when electrically connecting the plurality of cylindrical secondary batteries 1, thereby simplifying the electrical connection structure. In addition, since the cylindrical secondary battery 1 according to the present invention has a structure in which most of the lower surface located on the opposite side of the open portion of the battery can 20 can be used as an electrode terminal, parts for electrical connection can be welded. It has the advantage of securing a sufficient area.

In addition, it is shown that only the second bent portion 32a is formed in the tab coupling portion 32 provided in the current collector plate 30 of the embodiments of FIGS. 12 and 16 . However, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 for the tap coupling portions 32 of the above embodiments and the tab coupling portions of other embodiments, in addition to the second bent portion 32a, the third bent portion 32b, It goes without saying that a variant in which 32b') is additionally formed is also possible.

As described above, the current collector plates of the present invention are bent downward toward the winding hole H1 of the electrode assembly around the collector plate hole H2, and the first bent portion 31a is adjacent to or in contact with the inner circumferential surface of the winding hole H1. ) is provided.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the first bent portion 31a regulates the inner circumferential surface of the winding hole H1 of the electrode assembly to prevent the movement of the core portion C of the electrode assembly, thereby maintaining the shape of the electrode assembly and preventing contact with the current collector plate. It has the effect of stably maintaining the electrical connection structure.

According to this coupling form, it is possible to obtain effects of improving coupling force and reducing electrical resistance by increasing the coupling area, and also obtaining an effect of improving energy density by minimizing the total height of the electrode assembly 10 .

In addition, according to the embodiment of FIG. 17, since the length of the first electrode tab is shortened by the amount of bending, the first bent portion 31a formed around the current collector hole H2 and bent downward Correspondingly, the bending length may also be formed short. That is, even if the bending length of the first bent portion 31a matches the length of the remaining unbent first electrode tab 11, the outer circumferential surface of the first bent portion 31a and the inner circumferential surface of the winding hole H1 It has the advantage of being able to stably combine.
