Abstract

Provided is a wound cell, formed by successively stacking and winding of first separator, first electrode plate, second separator and second electrode plate from head ends thereof, the first separator is located at innermost side of the flat-shaped cell; a first and second electrode tab is electrically connected with the first and second electrode plate, respectively; the first and second electrode tabs are located on a flat plane of the flat-shaped cell along a length direction thereof and do not overlap each other in a thickness direction thereof; a distance from the first or second electrode tab to a tail end of the first or second current collector is no larger than ⅓ of total length of the first or second current collector, a sum of number of layers of the first separator and the second separator at the innermost side of the cell is no more than two.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A wound cell, wherein the wound cell is a flat-shaped cell formed by successively stacking and winding of a first separator, a first electrode plate, a second separator and a second electrode plate from respective head ends thereof, the first separator is located at an innermost side of the flat-shaped cell; the first electrode plate comprises a first current collector with a first active material layer coated on a surface of the first current collector, the second electrode plate comprises a second current collector with a second active material layer coated on a surface of the second current collector; a first electrode tab is electrically connected with the first electrode plate, and a second electrode tab is electrically connected with the second electrode plate; both the first electrode tab and the second electrode tab are located on a flat plane of the flat-shaped cell along a length direction of the cell, and neither the first electrode tab nor the second electrode tab overlap with each other in a thickness direction of the cell;
wherein a distance along a winding track of the first current collector between the first electrode tab and an outermost tail end of the first current collector is no larger than ⅓ of a total length of the first current collector along the winding track of the first current collector, a distance along a winding track of the second current collector between the second electrode tab and an outermost tail end of the second current collector is no larger than ⅓ of a total length of the second current collector along the winding track of the second current collector, the first separator and the second separator being successively stacked at the innermost side of the cell in which a layer number of separator corresponding to the first electrode tab and/or the second electrode tab in thickness direction is no more than two,
the first separator comprises a back folded section of the first separator and a separated section of the first separator, the back folded section of the first separator being located at the innermost side of the wound cell and extending to the separated section of the first separator while being bent along a winding direction of the wound cell;
the second separator comprises a back folded section of the second separator and a separated section of the second separator, the back folded section of the second separator being located at the innermost side of the wound cell and extending to the separated section of the second separator while being bent along the winding direction of the wound cell;
the back folded section of the first separator and the back folded section of the second separator form a back folded portion of a separator, the first electrode tab or the second electrode tab is staggeredly arranged with respect to the back folded portion of the separator in the thickness direction of the flat-shaped cell,
the first current collector is defined between the back folded section of the first separator and the back folded section of the second separator.

2. The wound cell according to claim 1 , wherein the back folded portion of the separator is located at an end of the innermost side of the flat-shaped cell in a width direction of the cell.

3. The wound cell according to claim 1 , wherein the back folded portion of the separator is located between the first electrode tab and the second electrode tab in the thickness direction of the flat-shaped cell.

4. The wound cell according to claim 3 , wherein a head portion of the second current collector is provided with a back folded section of the second current collector, the back folding direction of the back folded section of the second current collector is same as the winding direction of the flat-shaped cell, the back folded section of the second current collector does not overlap with the back folded portion of the separator, and the back folded section of the second current collector does not overlap with the first electrode tab or the second electrode tab in the thickness direction of the flat-shaped cell.

5. The wound cell according to claim 3 , wherein the first current collector is defined between the separated section of the first separator and the separated section of the second separator.

6. The wound cell according to claim 5 , wherein a start end of the first active material layer is level with a start end of the first current collector, a start end of the second active material layer is level with a start end of the second current collector; at least one surface of the first current collector is coated with the first active material layer, both surfaces of the second current collector are coated with the second active material layer.

7. The wound cell according to claim 1 , wherein at least one side of the first electrode tab along a length direction of the first current collector is provided with the first active material layer, at least one side of the second electrode tab along a length direction of the second current collector is provided with the second active material layer.
