Also, a first feature "on," "over," and "above" a second feature may be directly or diagonally above the second feature, or may simply indicate that the first feature is at a higher level than the second feature. A first feature being "under," "below," and "beneath" a second feature may be directly under or obliquely under the first feature, or may simply mean that the first feature is at a lesser elevation than the second feature.
Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, an embodiment of the present application provides an in-cell short circuit triggering apparatus 100, which includes a first phase-change insulating layer 110 and a deformable conductor layer 120, which are stacked. The deformable conductor layer 120 is attached to the first phase-change insulating layer 110.
The first phase change insulating layer 110 is made of an insulating material, and the state thereof can change with temperature change. The first phase-change insulating layer 110 has a failure temperature, also called melting temperature, and the failure temperature of the first phase-change insulating layer 110 is defined as a first failure temperature in this embodiment. When the temperature is lower than the first failure temperature, the first phase change insulating layer 110 is solid; when the temperature exceeds the first failure temperature, the first phase-change insulating layer 110 will melt and become liquid, and the insulating effect is lost. In this embodiment, the first phase change insulating layer 110 may be circular, square, or irregular. The first phase change insulating layer 110 has a certain thickness. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific shape, structure, material, and the like of the first phase change insulating layer 110, and may be selected according to actual requirements.
The deformable conductor layer 120 is made of Shape Memory Alloy (SMA). Shape memory alloys are alloys that possess a "memory" effect. The deformed conductor layer 120 has a deformation temperature, which is higher than the first failure temperature. The deformable conductor layer 120 of shape memory alloy has two phases: a high temperature phase and a low temperature phase. When the temperature is lower than the deformation temperature, the deformed conductor layer 120 is in a low-temperature phase; when the temperature is equal to or higher than the deformation temperature, the deformed conductor layer 120 is in a high temperature phase. The shape of the deformed conductor layer 120 in the low temperature phase is different according to the shape memory alloy material. The shape of the morphable conductor layer 120 in the high temperature phase can be fixed by training the shape memory alloy. In one embodiment, the low-temperature phase of the deformed conductor layer 120 is flat, that is, the upper and lower surfaces of the deformed conductor layer 120 are both flat; the high temperature phase has a convex portion 121. That is, when the temperature is lower than the deformation temperature, the deformed conductor layer 120 is flat; when the temperature exceeds the deformation temperature, the deformable conductor layer 120 deforms, and the convex portion 121 is generated. The convex portion 121 may have a partially raised structure, or may have a partially raised structure of the deformable conductor layer 120. The number of the projections 121 may be one or more. The protruding or protruding direction of the protrusion 121 is the direction of the first phase change insulating layer 110. For example, if the first phase change insulating layer 110 is located at a lower layer and the deformable conductor layer 120 is located at an upper layer, the protrusion direction of the protrusion 121 is downward protrusion. In this embodiment, the deformable conductor layer 120 may be circular, square, or irregular. The first phase change insulating layer 110 has a certain thickness. The shape, structure, specific material and the like of the deformable conductor layer 120 are not limited in the embodiment of the application, and can be selected according to actual requirements.
The battery internal short circuit triggering device 100 is used for triggering the internal short circuit of the battery. In use, the short circuit triggering device 100 is disposed inside a battery. In one embodiment, the in-cell short trigger device 100 is disposed between a positive plate of a battery and a separator layer of the battery, or between a negative plate of the battery and a separator layer of the battery. The diaphragm layer of the battery is provided with a through hole. The first phase-change insulating layer 110 is attached to the separator layer of the battery and covers the through-hole. Optionally, a trigger temperature may be set, which trigger temperature is equal to or higher than the deformation temperature. That is, the deformation temperature, the first failure temperature, and the trigger temperature are related by: the deformation temperature is higher than the first failure temperature, the trigger temperature is higher than the first failure temperature, and the trigger temperature is equal to or higher than the deformation temperature. When the short circuit triggering device 100 in the battery is at a normal temperature, the first phase change insulating layer 110 is in a solid state, and the surface of the deformable conductor layer 120 is flat. At this time, the battery internal short circuit triggering device 100 does not deform and bulge, and the first phase change insulating layer 110 also isolates the phase change conductor layer from the electrode material layer of the battery, thereby playing an insulating role and avoiding internal short circuit; when the temperature of the short circuit triggering device 100 in the battery reaches the triggering temperature (i.e., is equal to or higher than the triggering temperature), at this time, the temperature exceeds the first failure temperature, the first phase-change insulating layer 110 melts and loses the original insulating effect, and at the same time, when the temperature reaches the deformation temperature, the deformation conductor layer 120 deforms and generates the convex portion 121, and the convex portion 121 can penetrate through the through hole to contact with the electrode plate of the battery, so that the positive electrode and the negative electrode are conducted, and the internal short circuit of the battery is triggered.
In this embodiment, the short circuit triggering device 100 in the battery includes the first phase-change insulating layer 110 and the deformable conductor layer 120, which are stacked, and the failure temperature of the first phase-change insulating layer 110 is lower than the deformation temperature of the deformable conductor layer 120. The deformable conductor layer 120 is made of shape memory alloy, the high-temperature phase of the deformable conductor layer 120 has the convex portion 121, and the protruding direction of the convex portion 121 is the direction of the first phase-change insulation layer 110. In this embodiment, when the temperature is higher than or equal to the deformation temperature of the deformable conductor layer 120, the first phase-change insulating layer 110 melts, the deformable conductor layer 120 deforms in the direction of the first phase-change insulating layer 110, and a protrusion 121 is generated, and the protrusion 121 can directly contact with an electrode plate of a battery, so that positive and negative conduction is realized, and an internal short circuit of the battery is triggered. The device 100 for triggering the short circuit in the battery provided by the embodiment realizes the internal short circuit by directly contacting the convex part 121 with the electrode of the battery, solves the problem of poor contact inside the battery caused by the generation of a gap due to the internal short circuit after the phase change material is melted in the prior art, and improves the repeatability of triggering the short circuit in the battery. Meanwhile, in this embodiment, the first phase-change insulating layer 110 can prevent an internal short circuit caused by the deformed conductor layer 120 being in erroneous contact with an electrode plate of a battery due to extrusion or other reasons in a normal state, and improve controllability, safety, and reliability of triggering the internal short circuit.
Referring to fig. 3 and 4, in one embodiment, the short circuit triggering device 100 further includes a supporting membrane layer 130 and a second phase change insulating layer 140. The supporting membrane layer 130 is formed with a first through hole 131. The first phase change insulating layer 110 is attached to the supporting membrane layer 130 and covers the first through hole 131. The portion of the morphable conductor layer 120 where the protruding portion 121 is generated is located within a projection range of the first through hole 131 along a center line, that is, the portion of the morphable conductor layer 120 where the protruding portion 121 is generated is located above the first through hole 131. When the deformation conductor 120 is in a high temperature phase, the convex portion 121 protrudes from the surface of the supporting membrane layer 130 through the first through hole 131.
The second phase change insulating layer 140 is attached to a surface of the deformable conductor layer 120 away from the first phase change insulating layer 110, that is, the deformable conductor layer 120 is sandwiched between the first phase change insulating layer 110 and the second phase change insulating layer 140. That is, the short circuit trigger 100 in the battery is, from bottom to top: the supporting diaphragm layer 130, the first phase change insulating layer 110, the deformation conductor layer 120, and the second phase change insulating layer 140. The first phase change insulating layer 110, the deformable conductor layer 120, and the second phase change insulating layer 140 cover the first through hole 131.
The material, shape, thickness, etc. of the supporting separator layer 130 may be the same as those of a battery. The supporting membrane layer 130 has a melting point. The trigger temperature is below the melting point of the supporting membrane layer 130. The supporting membrane layer 130 has a supporting effect on the first phase change insulating layer 110, the deformable conductor layer 120 and the second phase change insulating layer 140, so that the structural stability of the short circuit triggering device 10 in the battery can be improved, and the short circuit triggering device is convenient to connect and fix with a membrane of the battery. The size, shape, etc. of the first through hole 131 can be selected according to actual needs. In one embodiment, the first through hole 131 is circular.
The second phase change insulating layer is made of an insulating material, the state of the second phase change insulating layer can change along with the temperature change, and the second phase change insulating layer has a failure temperature, which is also called a melting temperature. When the temperature is below the second failure temperature, the second phase change insulating layer 140 is solid; when the temperature exceeds the second failure temperature, the second phase change insulating layer 140 will melt and become liquid, and the insulating effect is lost. The trigger temperature and the deformation temperature are both higher than the second failure temperature. The second phase change insulating layer 140 may be the same as or different from the first phase change insulating layer 110 in material, shape, size, and the like. In one embodiment, the materials of the first phase change insulating layer 110 and the second phase change insulating layer 140 are paraffin. The failure temperature of the paraffin is 45-60 ℃. By arranging the second phase change insulating layer 140, the insulating effect between the deformation conductor layer 120 and the electrode plate of the battery at normal temperature can be ensured, and the stability of the battery under normal conditions can be ensured.
Referring to fig. 5, the operation principle of the short circuit triggering device 100 in the battery is as follows:
as shown in fig. 5, the battery includes a battery material layer and a battery separator layer 300 having a second through-hole 301. Wherein the battery material layer includes a positive electrode tab 210 and a negative electrode tab 220. The in-cell short trigger device 100 is disposed between the battery separator layer 300 and a pole piece, i.e.: the in-cell short circuit triggering device 100 is disposed between the positive electrode sheet 210 and the battery separator layer 300, or between the negative electrode sheet 220 and the battery separator layer 300. The supporting separator layer 130 is attached to the battery separator layer 300, and the projections of the first through hole 131 and the second through hole 301 along the center line overlap, that is: the first through hole 131 and the second through hole 301 are at least partially overlapped and penetrated.
When the battery temperature is equal to or higher than the trigger temperature, the first phase-change insulating layer 110 and the second phase-change insulating layer 140 are melted and failed, and the deformed conductor layer 120 is deformed and the convex portion 121 is generated. The convex part 121 passes through the first through hole 131 and the second through hole 301, protrudes out of the surfaces of the supporting separator layer 130 and the battery separator layer 300, is abutted against the positive electrode sheet 210 or the negative electrode sheet 220, and is conducted with the positive electrode and the negative electrode, so that the internal short circuit of the battery is realized.
In one embodiment, the height of the protrusions 121 is 1mm to 2 mm. Because the thickness of the diaphragm of each layer of battery is about ten microns or more, and the height of the convex part 121 exceeds the thickness of 3 to 4 layers of diaphragms, the convex part 121 can be ensured to penetrate through the through hole of the convex part of the battery to be directly contacted with the electrode plate, the positive electrode and the negative electrode are conducted, and the internal short circuit is realized. In this embodiment, the height of the protruding portion 121 is 1mm-2mm, which ensures that the protruding portion 121 is high enough to fill up a gap generated by melting the first phase-change insulating layer 110, so that the protruding portion 121 can directly contact with the separator layer, thereby improving the reliability of triggering the internal short circuit, and preventing the electrode plate of the battery from being damaged due to too high height.
Referring to fig. 6, in an embodiment, the deformed conductor layer 120 is an integral deformed structure, that is: the deformed portion of the deformed conductor layer 120 is the entire deformed conductor layer 120. That is, when the temperature reaches the deformation temperature, each portion of the deformed conductor layer 120 is deformed to form the convex portion 121, as shown in fig. 6.
Referring to fig. 7 to 10, in an embodiment, the deformed conductor layer 120 may also be a local deformed structure. That is, when the temperature reaches the deformation temperature, the deformed conductor layer 120 is deformed only partially, and the other portions are not deformed. There are various implementation manners of the local deformation structure, and in one embodiment, at least two deformation cracks 122 that do not intersect each other are formed on the surface of the deformation conductor layer 120, as shown in fig. 7. The deformation part of the deformed conductor layer 120 is located between the at least two deformed cracks 122. When the temperature is equal to or higher than the trigger temperature, the deformed conductor layer 120 is torn and deformed along the deformed crack 122 to form the protrusion 121. While two deformed cracks 122 are shown in fig. 7-10, in other embodiments, the number of deformed cracks 122 may be more, for example, 5 deformed cracks 122, and 5 deformed cracks 122 may resemble a fan blade-like structure. The setting position, shape, number, etc. of the deformation cracks 122 may be selected according to actual requirements, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.
An embodiment of the present application further provides an internal short circuit test battery, which includes the internal short circuit trigger device 100, the positive plate 210, the negative plate 220, and the battery separator layer 300 with the second through hole 301. The in-cell short circuit trigger device 100 is disposed between the positive electrode sheet 210 and the battery separator layer 300, or the in-cell short circuit trigger device 100 is disposed between the negative electrode sheet 220 and the battery separator layer 300. The first phase change insulating layer 110 is attached to the battery separator layer 300 and covers the second through hole 301.
