DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] A detail description of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be made in the following, and examples thereof are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, throughout which identical or similar elements or elements having identical or similar functions are represented with identical or similar reference numerals. The embodiments that are described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary, and are only used to interpret the present disclosure, instead limiting the present disclosure.

[0024] A battery core 10 according to the embodiments of the present disclosure is described below with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3.

[0025] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the battery core 10 according to the embodiments of the present disclosure includes: at least one core 20, where each core 20 has a plurality of tabs 201, the plurality of tabs 201 successively form, after being converged, a tab end-portion staggered layer region 203, a tab soldering region 204, and a pre-soldered press-fit region 205. It is to be noted that free ends of the plurality of tabs 201 jointly form the tab end-portion staggered layer region 203, because curved radians of the tabs 201 are different after the plurality of tabs 201 are converged. The pre-soldered press-fit region 205 is a region formed by press-fitting the plurality of tabs 201, which have been converged, at the position of convergence by ultrasonic soldering or other soldering methods. The tab soldering region 204 is a region formed by soldering the tabs 201 and a tab lead-out sheet in a laser soldering or another soldering manner in the pre-soldered press-fit region 205. The parts of the plurality of tabs 201 exposed out of the core 20 form the tab exposure region 206. In an extension direction of the tab 201, that is, a left-right direction shown in FIG. 2, a length of the tab exposed out of the core 10 in the tab exposure region 206 is determined according to a width of the tab end-portion staggered layer region 203, a width of the tab soldering region 204, a width of the pre-soldered press-fit region 205, a thickness of the core 20, and a tab bending angle of the tab 201.

[0026] 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 FIG. 2. A thickness direction of the core 20 is an up-down direction shown in FIG. 2, and when the tabs 201 of the core 20 have not been bent after being converged, the exposed tab extends in the left-right direction shown in FIG. 2. Each core 20 has a plurality of separators 202, and parts of the plurality of tabs 201 exposed out of the separators 202 form the tab exposure region 206.

[0027] 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.

[0028] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 2, the width of the tab end-portion staggered layer region 203 is d.sub.1, the tab soldering region 204 is provided with a tab protection sheet 207, a width of the tab protection sheet 207 is d.sub.2, a width direction of the tab protection sheet 207 is the left-right direction shown in FIG. 2, the width of the pre-soldered press-fit region 205 is d.sub.3, the thickness of the core 20 is D, the tab bending angle of any one tab 201 in the plurality of tabs 201 is A, the length of the exposed tab in the tab exposure region 206 is L, and a relational expression L=d.sub.1+d.sub.2+d.sub.3+D/2*tan A is satisfied. Such a setting can ensure that the length of the tab exposed out of the core 20 in the tab exposure region 206 is more appropriate, can further prevent the tabs 201 from being pulled after bending, further prevent the tabs 201 from being torn, and avoid the problem that some electrode plates cannot output electricity, thereby further avoiding the capacity loss of the battery core 10.

[0029] 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.

[0030] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a ratio of d.sub.2 to d.sub.1 is B, and satisfies a relational expression 4<B<10. Further, a ratio of d.sub.2 to d.sub.3 is C, and satisfies a relational expression 4<C<24.

[0031] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a relational expression 0 mm<d.sub.1<8 mm is satisfied. Preferably, d.sub.1 is 4 mm. Such a setting makes the width of the tab end-portion staggered layer region 203 appropriate, which can prevent the width of the tab end-portion staggered layer region 203 from being too large, so as to make the length of the tab exposure region 206 more appropriate.

[0032] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a relational expression 8 mm≤d.sub.2≤12 mm is satisfied. Preferably, d.sub.2 is 10 mm. Such a setting makes the width of the tab protection sheet 207 appropriate, and the soldering width of the tab soldering region 204 can be ensured, so as to make the length of the tab exposure region 206 appropriate, thereby further facilitating the production and manufacture of the core 20.
