Detailed Description
The present application is described in further detail below with reference to specific embodiments and with reference to the attached drawings.
As shown in fig. 1 to 8, the present embodiment provides a secondary battery including a first terminal 20, a second terminal 30, a top cap sheet 10, an electrode assembly (not shown), a connecting member 40, and an inversion sheet 70, and a case (not shown) covering the top cap sheet 10. The electrode assembly includes a first pole piece, a second pole piece, and a separator between the first pole piece and the second pole piece.
The top cover sheet 10 seals the housing, both enclosing an accommodation space. The flip sheet 70 is attached to the first terminal 20. At least one of the first terminal 20 and the second terminal 30 is electrically insulated from the top cover sheet 10, that is, both the first terminal 20 and the second terminal 30 may be electrically insulated from the top cover sheet 10, or only one of them may be electrically insulated from the top cover sheet 10; the connection member 40 is electrically connected to the second terminal 30. In a normal state, the first pole piece is electrically connected with the first terminal 20 through the turnover piece 70, and the second pole piece is electrically connected with the second terminal 30; when the pressure in the secondary battery exceeds the reference pressure, the reversible sheet 70 can be reversed to disconnect the electrical connection state of the reversible sheet 70 with the first pole piece, and the reversed reversible sheet 70 is electrically connected with the connection member 40 to electrically connect the first terminal 20 and the second terminal 30.
In the above embodiment, the connecting member 40 is added, one end of the connecting member 40 is electrically connected to the second terminal 30, when the secondary battery is overcharged, when the internal pressure exceeds the reference pressure, the flipping sheet 70 can be flipped over to disconnect the electrical connection state of the flipping sheet 70 with the first pole piece, and the flipped over flipping sheet 70 is electrically connected to the connecting member 40, so that the first terminal 20 and the second terminal 30 are electrically connected, therefore, after the flipping sheet 70 is flipped over, both disconnection of the internal circuit of the failed secondary battery is achieved, and electrical connection of the flipping sheet 70 with the connecting member 40 is achieved, and further the first terminal 20 and the second terminal 30 of the secondary battery are electrically conducted through the connecting member 40, even if the battery module adopts a series connection mode, the secondary battery can still keep the whole battery module in a pass state as a lead wire; and when the secondary battery expands or compresses and the top-cover sheet 10 is welded to the case, the force generated thereby will be applied to the top-cover sheet 10, and if the inversion sheet 70 is disposed on the top-cover sheet 10, the deformation of the top-cover sheet 10 will cause the deformation of the inversion sheet 70, which causes stress to be generated inside the inversion sheet 70, which will cause the sensitivity of the inversion sheet 70 to be lowered, thereby affecting the safety of the secondary battery. The application attaches the turning sheet 70 on the first terminal 20, reduces the influence on the turning sheet 70 when the top cover sheet 10 is deformed, thereby being difficult to cause the phenomenon that the sensitivity of the turning sheet 70 is reduced and being beneficial to improving the safety of the secondary battery. To sum up, the secondary battery of this application even the car is in running state, can not flameout suddenly yet, has improved the security of car.
Generally, the first terminal 20 and the second terminal 30 are respectively mounted on the top cover sheet 10, wherein one of the first terminal 20 or the second terminal 30 electrically connected with the top cover sheet 10 may be directly connected to the top cover sheet 10 or connected to the top cover sheet 10 through a conductive structure. In order to facilitate electrical connection of the secondary battery to the outside, the first and second terminals 20 and 30 may each extend out of the top cover sheet 10, and particularly, when electrically insulated from the top cover sheet 10, an electrically insulated end extends out of the top cover sheet 10, as shown in fig. 3 where the first and second terminals 20 and 30 each extend out of the top cover sheet 10. In order to ensure the sealing property of the first terminal 20 or the second terminal 30 with the top cover sheet 10 when the first terminal 20 or the second terminal 30 protrudes out of the top cover sheet 10, the first terminal 20 is usually sealed with the top cover sheet 10 by a sealing member or a sealant, as shown in fig. 4, by the second sealing member 24; as shown in fig. 7, the second terminal 30 is sealed with the top cover sheet 10 by a third sealing member 34, and the second sealing member 24 and the third sealing member 34 may be sealing rings, gaskets, or the like.
The connection member 40 may be located outside the receiving space, i.e., on the side of the top cover sheet 10 away from the electrode assembly, with one end of the connection member 40 electrically connected to the second terminal 30 and the other end extending toward the first terminal 20, and the connection member 40 not contacting the top cover sheet 10.
The first terminal 20, the second terminal 30 and the top cover sheet 10 are connected in the following ways:
first, the second terminal 30 is electrically insulated from the top cover sheet 10, and the first terminal 20 may be electrically connected to the top cover sheet 10 (as shown in fig. 8) or electrically insulated from the top cover sheet 10 (as shown in fig. 3 and 4).
When the first terminal 20 is electrically connected to the top cover sheet 10, one end of the connection member 40 is electrically connected to the second terminal 30, and the other end extends toward the first terminal 20, and the connection member 40 is electrically insulated from the top cover sheet 10 so as to be rapidly electrically connected to the connection member 40 after the flip sheet 70 attached to the first terminal 20 is flipped.
Second, the second terminal 30 is electrically connected to the top cover sheet 10, and the first terminal 20 is electrically insulated from the top cover sheet 10.
In any case, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the first terminal 20 is provided with a first through hole, and the flap 70 seals the first through hole. At this time, when the connecting piece 40 is located on one side of the top cover plate 10 far away from the first pole piece, the top cover plate 10 is provided with a second through hole, the second through hole is opposite to the first through hole, and at least part of the connecting piece 40 is opposite to the first through hole, so that the first pole piece is electrically connected with the first terminal 20 through the turnover piece 70 in a normal state; when the pressure in the secondary battery exceeds the reference pressure, the reversible sheet 70 can be reversed to disconnect the electrical connection state of the reversible sheet 70 with the first pole piece, and the reversed reversible sheet 70 is electrically connected with the connection member 40 to electrically connect the first terminal 20 with the second terminal 30 through the reversible sheet 70, the connection member 40. The arrangement of the first through hole and the second through hole facilitates the arrangement of the turnover sheet 70.
In order to facilitate the connection between the first terminal 20 and the flip sheet 70, the first terminal 20 includes a terminal body 201 and an extension portion 202 connected to each other, and as shown in fig. 2, a first through hole is provided in the extension portion 202. Generally, the terminal body 201 is sealed with the top cover sheet 10 by the second sealing member 24, the extension portion 202 is sealed with the top cover sheet 10 by the first sealing member 74 or a sealant, etc., and when the first terminal 20 is extended out of the top cover sheet 10, usually, one end of the terminal body 201 is extended out of the top cover sheet 10. The terminal body 201 and the extension portion 202 may be integrated or separated.
Generally, the receiving space defined by the top cover sheet 10 and the case includes a first chamber for receiving the electrode assembly, and a second chamber for providing the turning space for the turning sheet 70, that is, the turning sheet 70 divides the receiving space into the first chamber and the second chamber, and the first chamber and the second chamber are not communicated to ensure that the turning sheet 70 can be turned over when the pressure in the secondary battery exceeds the reference pressure.
Specifically, the sealing of the first chamber from the second chamber may be achieved by a first sealing member 74 or a sealant or the like, and generally, the first sealing member 74 is disposed along the outer circumference of the flap 70. When implemented by the first seal 74, the first seal 74 may be sealingly connected between the first terminal 20 and the top cover sheet 10 (between the extension 202 and the top cover sheet 10 when the extension 202 is provided), or the first seal 74 may be sealingly connected between the flip sheet 70 and the top cover sheet 10. The first seal 74 has a first sealing surface in sealing contact with the top sheet 10 and a second sealing surface in sealing contact with the extension 202 or the flip sheet 70, the first sealing surface and the second sealing surface being generally opposed in the height direction of the top sheet 10; the first sealing surface and the second sealing surface may be opposite to each other in a direction perpendicular to the height direction of the top lid sheet 10, that is, side sealing is achieved, for example, the extension portion 202 or the flip sheet 70 extends into the second through hole, and the first sealing member 74 is disposed between the inner wall of the second through hole and the extension portion 202 or the flip sheet 70; of course, the first sealing surface and the second sealing surface may also be opposite both in the height direction of the top sheet 10 and in a direction perpendicular to the height direction.
When the first terminal 20 is electrically connected to the top sheet 10, the secondary battery may further include a resistor 50, as shown in fig. 8, in which case, the first terminal 20 is electrically connected to the top sheet 10 through the resistor 50, and by adding the resistor 50, it is possible to reduce the current of the short circuit and ensure the safety of the nail penetration when the secondary battery is subjected to the nail penetration test. The resistive member 50 may have a columnar structure or a sheet structure.
In order to minimize the damage of the piercing pins, the resistive element 50 has a resistance of 1 to 100000 ohms, such as 1 ohm, 100 ohm, 1000 ohm, 100000 ohm.
In the above embodiments, the flip sheet 70 is constructed as shown in fig. 3-5, the flip sheet 70 includes a flip portion 701 and a first protrusion 702, the flip portion 701 is a sheet-shaped ring surface structure, and the edge of the flip portion is connected to the first terminal 20. A first nib 702 is coupled to the turning part 701, and the first nib 702 is coupled to a central region of the turning part 701, protrudes in a direction of the connector 40, and is opposite to a portion of the connector 40 opposite to the first through hole. So that the first pole piece is electrically connected to the first terminal 20 through the flip part 701 in a normal state. By adding the first projection 702, the distance between the flip chip 70 and the attachment member 40 in the flip chip 70 flip direction can be reduced so that the flip chip 70 can be quickly brought into contact with the attachment member 40 when the overcharge occurs.
Preferably, the first nib 702 extends into the second through-hole to reduce the distance the flip chip 70 flips.
In order to further reduce the turning stroke of the turning sheet 70 and ensure the connection reliability of the turning sheet 70 and the first pole piece, the turning sheet 70 further comprises a second raised head 703, the second raised head 703 is connected to the turning part 701 and projects towards the direction of the first pole piece, and the turning part 701 is electrically connected with the first pole piece through the second raised head 703 in a normal state.
The end surfaces of the first projection 702 and the second projection 703 are planar structures to increase the contact area between the flip sheet 70 and the first pole piece and between the flipped flip sheet 70 and the connecting member 40, thereby increasing the flow area.
The turning part 701 may be entirely located in the first through hole, or may be connected to an end of the first through hole, and preferably, the periphery of the turning part 701 is connected to an inner wall of the first through hole, so as to shorten the turning stroke of the turning piece 70, and simultaneously, ensure the connection reliability with the first pole piece and the connecting member 40 before and after turning.
Further, in order to ensure the reliability of the connection between the flip sheet 70 and the top cover sheet 10, a connection portion 704 is further provided at the periphery of the flip portion 701, the thickness of the connection portion 704 is greater than the thickness of the flip portion 701, the thickness refers to the dimension along the flipping direction of the flip sheet 70, and the flip portion 701 is connected to the first through hole through the connection portion 704.
The first through hole is preferably a stepped hole, and as shown in fig. 4, the connection portion 704 may be overlapped with a stepped surface of the stepped hole, and when only the turning portion 701 is provided, the turning portion 701 may be overlapped with the stepped surface, and the above structure may limit the position of the turning piece 70, and prevent the turning piece 70 from being unable to contact with the connection member 40 after turning due to loose connection between the turning piece 70 and the first terminal 20 in a normal state.
In general, the edge of the second through hole is located inside the turning part 701 in the projection along the axial direction of the first through hole, and particularly when the first tab 702 extends into the second through hole, it is possible to prevent the erroneous contact between the turning piece 70 and the connecting member 40 due to the loose connection between the turning piece 70 and the first terminal 20 in the normal state.
For convenience of connection, the secondary battery further includes a conductive sheet 71, as shown in fig. 4, in a normal state, the first pole piece is electrically connected to the first terminal 20 through the conductive sheet 71 and the turning sheet 70 in sequence; when the pressure in the secondary battery exceeds the reference pressure, the turnover sheet 70 can turn over to disconnect the conductive sheet 71, so that the electric connection state of the first terminal 20 and the first pole piece is disconnected, and the processing and the assembly are facilitated by adding the conductive sheet 71.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 6, the conductive sheet 71 includes a first conductive portion 711, a second conductive portion 713, and a thinned region 712, the thinned region 712 being located between the first conductive portion 711 and the second conductive portion 713 and having a thickness smaller than the thickness of the first conductive portion 711 and the thickness of the second conductive portion 713; the first conductive part 711 is connected to the flip sheet 70, and is directly connected to the second tab 703 when the second tab 703 is provided; the second conductive portion 713 is connected to the first pole piece. In a normal state, the flip sheet 70 is electrically connected to the first pole piece through the first conductive portion 711, the thinned region 712, and the second conductive portion 713. By providing the thinned region 712, and connecting the first conductive part 711 to the flip sheet 70 and the second conductive part 713 to the first pole piece, when the flip sheet 70 is flipped, the conductive sheet 71 can be quickly broken at the thinned region 712, thereby quickly achieving the circuit break in the secondary battery.
Usually, the conductive sheet 71 is provided with a vent hole opposite to the flip sheet 70, and as shown in fig. 4 and 6, a first vent hole 714 or a second vent hole 715 may be provided, or both the first vent hole 714 and the second vent hole 715 may be provided. The first and second vent holes 714 and 715 penetrate the conductive sheet 71 in the turning direction of the turning sheet 70 so that the gas in the secondary battery can flow to the turning sheet 70, thereby turning the turning sheet 70. When the turning part 701 is provided, the second vent hole 715 is opposite to the turning part 701 in order to ensure that the gas quickly reaches the turning part 701 when the internal short circuit generates gas.
Further, in order to be able to stretch-break the conductive sheet 71 under a small pulling force, the thinned region 712 may be provided with an indentation and a breaking portion, or only one of an indentation and a breaking portion, where the first conductive portion 711 and the second conductive portion 713 are broken when the breaking portion is provided.
