The present disclosure relates to the field of batteries, and particularly, to a battery core, a battery, and a battery pack.
In the related art, a plurality of tabs of a core are soldered together after being converged, and parts of the plurality of tabs exposed out of the core form a tab exposure region. If the length of the tab exposure region is designed too long, the movable length of the tab is increased, and a larger bending space is required for accommodating the tab. The design of a larger bending space leads to a capacity loss of the battery core. If the bending space is not increased, the tab is compressed, which is likely to cause positive and negative electrodes to come into contact with each other, posing a safety risk.
If the length of the tab exposure region is designed too short, the tab after bending is likely to be pulled to cause tearing of the tab. Once the tab is torn, some electrode plates cannot output electricity, resulting in a capacity loss of the battery core.
The present disclosure aims to resolve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. In view of this, the present disclosure provides a battery core. The battery core can prevent a tab from being pulled after bending, can avoid a capacity loss of the battery core, and can also prevent the tab from being compressed, so as to improve the safety of the battery in use.
The present disclosure further provides a battery.
The present disclosure further provides a battery pack.
The battery core according to the present disclosure includes: at least one core, where each core has a plurality of tabs, the plurality of tabs successively form, after being converged, a tab end-portion staggered layer region, a tab soldering region, and a pre-soldered press-fit region, parts of the plurality of tabs exposed out of the core form a tab exposure region, and a length of the tab exposed out of the core in the tab exposure region is determined according to a width of the tab end-portion staggered layer region, a width of the tab soldering region, a width of the pre-soldered press-fit region, a thickness of the core, and a tab bending angle of the tab.
According to the battery core in the present disclosure, the length of the tab exposed out of the core in the tab exposure region can be made more appropriate, and the tab after bending can be prevented from being pulled and torn, and therefore, the capacity loss of the battery core can be avoided. Moreover, the movable length of the tab can also be made appropriate, and the bending space can be made appropriate, and therefore, the capacity loss of the battery core can be avoided. In addition, the tab can be prevented from being compressed, so as to improve the safety of the battery core in use.

A battery core 10 according to the embodiments of the present disclosure is described below with reference to
As shown in
According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, a width direction of the tab end-portion staggered layer region 203, a width direction of the tab soldering region 204, and a width direction of the pre-soldered press-fit region 205 are all the left-right direction shown in
By determining the length of the tab exposure region 206 according to the width of the tab end-portion staggered layer region 203, the width of the tab soldering region 204, the width of the pre-soldered press-fit region 205, the thickness of the core 20, and the tab bending angle of the tab 201, the length of the tab in the tab exposure region 206 exposed out of the core 20 can be made more appropriate, so as to prevent the tab 201 from being pulled and torn after bending, and avoid the problem that some electrode plates cannot output electricity, thereby avoiding a capacity loss of the battery core 10. In addition, the movable length of the tab 201 can also be made appropriate, and the bending space for accommodating the tabs 201 can be made appropriate, so as to avoid the capacity loss of the battery core 10, and prevent the tabs 201 from being compressed to cause positive and negative electrodes of the battery core 10 to come into contact with each other and cause a short circuit of the battery core 10, thereby improving the safety of the battery core 10 in use.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in
According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, A satisfies a relational expression 45°≤A≤135°, and preferably, 60°≤A≤120°. Such a setting makes the bending angle of the tab 201 more appropriate, can make the length of the tab exposed out of the core 20 in the tab exposure region 206 appropriate, and prevent the separator 202 from being compressed to cause the positive and negative electrode of the battery core 10 to come into contact with each other, so as to better prevent a short circuit of the battery core 10.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a ratio of d2 to d1 is B, and satisfies a relational expression 4<B<10. Further, a ratio of d2 to d3 is C, and satisfies a relational expression 4<C<24.
