For better effect, sharp and soft protrusions 411 are uniformly distributed on two bonding surfaces of the bonding body 420 of the conductive adhesive block, which are respectively in contact with the negative electrode leakage current collector 352 and the positive electrode leakage current collector 351, and when the conductive adhesive block is connected with the negative electrode leakage current collector and the positive electrode leakage current collector by heating and pressurizing, the protrusions 411 enable the conductive adhesive 400 to be firmly bonded with the positive electrode and negative electrode exposed current collectors.
According to the cylindrical battery cell adopting the non-welding conductive connection and the preparation method thereof, the structure is optimized, positive and negative current collectors of the winding core 300 are all leaked out by a certain length and are respectively and directly and electrically connected with the bottom 210 of the shell and the pole, so that positive and negative pole assemblies are reduced, positive and negative current collectors are eliminated, the production process is simplified, and the production cost is reduced; the invention adopts the adhesive conductive adhesive 400 to replace the tab welding mode, saves the welding procedure, not only solves the risks of influencing the safety of the battery cell, such as temperature rise, welding slag, welding penetration and the like in the welding process, but also reduces the purchase and maintenance cost of welding equipment; the conductive adhesive 400 is composed of the conductive body 410 and the bonding body 420 which are positioned on the same layer, has simple structure, high bonding efficiency and convenience, and good conductivity, bonding property and flexibility, and ensures that the positive and negative current collectors are firmly and reliably bonded with the bottom 210 of the shell and the pole; the invention has the advantages of improving the safety performance of the battery cell, improving the poor low voltage of the battery cell, reducing the manufacturing procedure, reducing the equipment purchase and maintenance cost and realizing cost reduction and efficiency improvement on the premise of not influencing the energy density of the battery cell.
