  • Publication number: 20230013967
    Abstract: A separator, a lithium-ion cell including the separator, and an electric apparatus including the lithium-ion cell. The separator includes a separator substrate and a coating layer disposed on the separator substrate, and the separator is adhered to an adjacent first electrode plate or second electrode plate through the coating layer. The coating layer is configured to decrease a peel force between the separator and an external component when a temperature is higher than a preset threshold or to be capable of chemically reacting with an acidic substance. When the temperature is higher than a threshold, the peel force between the separator and an adjacent electrode plate is decreased. To be specific, such lithium-ion cell can improve a current situation that the peel force between the separator and the electrode plate remains relatively great when the temperature of the cell is higher than a threshold.

  • Publication number: 20220294091
    Abstract: A protection circuit in this application is electrically connected between a first tab and a second tab of a cell. The protection circuit includes a first branch circuit or includes a first branch circuit and a second branch circuit that are connected in parallel. When a temperature of the cell is greater than or equal to a first temperature threshold, the cell is discharged through the first branch circuit. When the temperature of the cell is greater than or equal to a second temperature threshold, the cell is discharged through both the first branch circuit and the second branch circuit. The second temperature threshold is greater than the first temperature threshold.

  • Patent number: 11145944
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a technical field of cells, and discloses a protection device and a battery. The protection device includes: a first connecting member; a second connecting member; a first element; and an elastic sheet. When the elastic sheet has a temperature lower than a first temperature, the elastic sheet is connected to at least one of the first connecting member and the second connecting member; when the temperature of the elastic sheet is equal to the first temperature, the elastic sheet is deformed to allow the first connecting member, the second connecting member, the elastic sheet and the first element to form a series circuit. When the protection device is not triggered, the temperature of the elastic sheet is lower than the first temperature, and the elastic sheet is connected to at least one of the first connecting member and the second connecting member.

  • Patent number: 10879520
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a cell and a battery, wherein the cell comprises a body including a first electrode tab; and a choke that triggers after the temperature reaches a certain value to reduce the current passing through it; the choke is electrically connected to the first electrode tab, and a product of the length of connection path from the choke to the first electrode tab and a cooling coefficient of the connection path is smaller than a difference between a first temperature of the first electrode tab and a second temperature of the choke, wherein the second temperature of the choke is a temperature when the choke is triggered. In the above-mentioned cell, if the trigger action of the choke is timely, the body of the cell can be prevented from reaching the overcharge state, and the choke in the above-mentioned cell can further effectively protect the cell.

  • Publication number: 20190229321
    Abstract: The present application relates to the field of battery, discloses an electrode-assembly and a battery, wherein the electrode-assembly includes a body with a first wall and a current blocker arranged on the first wall. The first wall of the body is close to the internal structure of the body, and its temperature is relatively close to the internal temperature of the body as compared with the seal side of the electrode-assembly; in above electrode-assembly, since the current blocker is directly attached to the first wall of the body, the heat inside the body can be quickly conducted to the current blocker through the first wall, so the current blocker of the electrode-assembly can be triggered more timely to reduce or cut off the current for effectively protecting the electrode-assembly.
