Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to the embodiments of the present disclosure, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary only for the purpose of illustrating the present disclosure and should not be construed as limiting the same.

The battery tray 100 of the power battery pack 400, and the vehicle according to the embodiment of the present disclosure are described below with reference to fig. 1 to 17.

As shown in fig. 1A-6, according to one aspect of the present disclosure, a battery tray 100 and a power battery pack 400 having the battery tray 100 are provided. In addition to the battery tray 100, the power battery pack 400 may further include a cover plate (not shown) and a plurality of battery cells 200, wherein the cover plate is hermetically connected to the battery tray 100 and jointly forms a sealed space for accommodating the plurality of battery cells 200. Each battery cell 200 has a cell explosion-proof valve 201 (see fig. 1D). The battery tray 100 includes a tray main body, a gas channel 1210 is formed in at least a portion of the tray main body, and a plurality of air inlets 31 and at least one air outlet hole communicated with the gas channel 1210 are formed on the tray main body. The air inlet holes 31 are opposite to the single explosion-proof valves 201 and are in one-to-one correspondence, and each air inlet hole 31 is used for guiding flame, smoke or gas inside the battery unit 200 into the gas channel 1210 when the corresponding single explosion-proof valve 201 is opened. The exhaust holes communicate the gas channel 1210 with the space outside the battery pack, and are used for exhausting flame, smoke or gas in the gas channel 1210 to the outside of the battery pack. When the pressure inside the battery cell 200 increases to open the cell explosion-proof valve 201 thereon, the flame, smoke or gas inside the battery cell 200 is discharged from the battery cell 200 through the cell explosion-proof valve 201, and then flows toward the air inlet hole 31 to enter the air passage 1210.

Through the technical scheme, once the internal air pressure of a certain single battery 200 is increased, when the single explosion-proof valve 201 on the single battery is opened, the flame, smoke or gas inside the single battery 200 directly enters the gas channel 1210 of the tray main body through the air inlet hole 31 on the tray main body, so that the flame, smoke or gas cannot enter the accommodating space of the single battery 200 inside the tray, and secondary damage or influence on other batteries to the batteries caused by the flame, smoke or gas is avoided.

In order to avoid the leakage of the flame, smoke or gas discharged from the single explosion-proof valve 201 into the battery accommodating space, preferably, as shown in fig. 1C-1D, fig. 2B-2C and fig. 3D, the power battery pack 400 further includes a gasket 300, the gasket 300 is disposed between the battery cell 200 and the tray main body and has flame retardant performance and certain compressibility, a plurality of through holes 3011 are disposed on the gasket 300, the through holes 3011 correspond to the air inlet holes 31 on the tray main body one by one, and each through hole 3011 is located between the corresponding air inlet hole 31 and the single explosion-proof valve 201. The gasket 300 forms a seal around the air intake holes 31 by the pressing of the battery cells 200 and the tray main body, preventing flame, smoke, or gas from leaking into the battery receiving space.

In order to prevent external dust and water from entering the battery receiving space through the vent hole and the gas channel 1210, it is preferable that the battery tray 100 further includes a battery pack explosion-proof valve 40 as shown in fig. 1A to 1B, 2A to 2E, 3A to 3C, 4C, 5, and 6, and the battery pack explosion-proof valve 40 is mounted on the vent hole to block the vent hole by the battery pack explosion-proof valve 40. The flame, smoke or gas discharged from the single explosion-proof valve 201 enters through the gas inlet hole 31 and is accumulated in the gas channel 1210, and when the gas pressure in the gas channel 1210 reaches a certain value, the battery pack explosion-proof valve 40 is opened to discharge the flame, smoke or gas accumulated in the gas channel 1210.

It should be noted that, in the working process of the power battery pack 400, if an abnormality occurs in a certain battery cell 200, the internal pressure of the battery cell 200 increases, so that when the cell explosion-proof valve 201 on the battery cell 200 is opened, fluid (for example, fluid with high temperature and high pressure such as flame, smoke, or gas) generated inside the battery cell 200 may directly pass through the gas channel 1210, so that the flame, smoke, or gas does not enter the battery tray 100. As shown in fig. 20, the inner wall of the gas channel 1210 is provided with a barrier layer 33.

When the single explosion-proof valve 201 is opened, because the single explosion-proof valve 201 is arranged opposite to the air inlet hole 31, flame, smoke or gas discharged from the single explosion-proof valve 201 can be directly discharged into the gas channel 1210 of the tray main body 110 from the air inlet hole 31, and then the flame, smoke or gas is discharged out of the battery tray 100 through the air outlet hole, so that the high-temperature flame, smoke or gas can be prevented from being accumulated inside the power battery pack 400, and the flame, smoke or gas entering the gas channel 1210 can be discharged out of the battery tray 100.

And, because be provided with isolation layer 140 in the gas passage 1210, isolation layer 140 has thermal-insulated and the effect of keeping off a fire, after high temperature flame, smog or gas flow in gas passage 1210, isolation layer 140 can prevent that the inner wall transmission that the heat passes through gas passage 1210 from other battery monomer and other spare parts in the power battery package 400, can prevent that spare part in the power battery package 400 from receiving the damage, also can protect other batteries in the battery tray 100, thereby can avoid power battery package 400 to take place conflagration and thermal runaway, and then can promote power battery package 400's safety in utilization.

From this, through setting up isolation layer 140, can effectively avoid high temperature flame, smog or gaseous inside diffusion at power battery package 400, can prevent that the spare part in power battery package 400 from receiving the damage, also can protect other batteries in battery tray 100 to can promote power battery package 400's safety in utilization.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, at least a portion of the air inlet hole 31 is opposite to the isolation layer 140, and it should be explained that the air inlet hole 31 and the isolation layer 140 have an overlapped portion, so that the arrangement can ensure that the high-temperature gas and the flame entering the gas channel 1210 from the air inlet hole 31 can contact with the isolation layer 140, and can better prevent the heat from being transferred to other batteries in the power battery pack 400.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the tray body 110 may include: bottom plate 10, boundary beam 20, and a plurality of crossbeam 30, boundary beam 20 sets up around bottom plate 10 and delimits the accommodation space of battery cell 200 jointly with bottom plate 10, crossbeam 30 sets up on bottom plate 10, and crossbeam 30 separates into the region that a plurality of is used for placing battery cell 200 with bottom plate 10, inside crossbeam 30, inside boundary beam 20 and the inside gas channel 1210 that all is formed with of bottom plate 10 and link up each other, some inlet port 31 sets up on crossbeam 30, another part inlet port 31 sets up on boundary beam 20 and/or bottom plate 10, the exhaust hole sets up on boundary beam 20 and/or bottom plate 10.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a partition 130 may be disposed in the cross beam 30, the partition 130 divides the gas channel 1210 in the cross beam 30 into a first channel 1220 and a second channel 1230, a fluid discharged from the battery cell 200 located on one side of the cross beam 30 enters the first channel 1220, and a fluid discharged from the battery cell 200 located on the other side of the cross beam 30 enters the second channel 1230, such that the fluid in the first channel 1220 is prevented from flowing into the second channel 1230, and the fluid in the second channel 1230 is also prevented from flowing into the first channel 1220, so that a vortex is prevented from being formed in the gas channel 1210, and the fluid can flow out of the gas channel 1210 quickly.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the cross beam 30 is provided with a first air inlet hole 1221 at an interval and a second air inlet hole 1231 at an interval, fluid discharged from the battery cell 200 located on one side of the cross beam 30 enters the gas channel 1210 through the first air inlet hole 1221, fluid discharged from the battery cell 200 located on the other side of the cross beam 30 enters the gas channel 1210 through the second air inlet hole 1231, at least a portion of the first air inlet hole 1221 and the second air inlet hole 1231 are distributed in a staggered manner, that is, the first air inlet hole 1221 and the second air inlet hole 1231 are completely distributed in a staggered manner, or the first air inlet hole 1221 and the second air inlet hole 1231 have a portion which is not distributed in a staggered manner. When fluid flows into the gas passage 1210 through the first and second inlet holes 1221 and 1231, the arrangement can ensure that the fluid flowing in from the first inlet hole 1221 does not directly flow to the second inlet hole 1231, and also ensure that the fluid flowing in from the second inlet hole 1231 does not directly flow to the first inlet hole 1221.

In some embodiments, in order to avoid the influence of the high-temperature and high-pressure fluid ejected from the abnormal battery on other battery cells 200, a partition 130 may be disposed in the gas channel 1210, that is, the gas channel 1210 is partitioned into separate spaces by the partition 130, so as to avoid the adverse influence of the high-temperature and high-pressure fluid in the local space in the gas channel 1210 on the gas pressure and temperature in other spaces in the gas channel 1210.

Further, the separator 130 may divide the gas channel 1210 into the first channel 1220 and the second channel 1230, and when an abnormality occurs in a certain battery cell 200 communicating with the first channel 1220, the fluid discharged from this cell explosion-proof valve 201 is adapted to enter the first channel 1220, and due to the arrangement of the separator 130, the first channel 1220 and the second channel 1230 may be divided by the separator 130, and the fluid of high temperature and high pressure entering the first channel 1220 is confined in the first channel 1220 and cannot flow into the second channel 1230; similarly, when an abnormality occurs in a certain battery cell 200 communicated with the second channel 1230, the fluid discharged from this cell explosion-proof valve 201 is adapted to enter the second channel 1230, the first channel 1220 and the second channel 1230 can be separated by the separator 130 due to the arrangement of the separator 130, and the fluid of high temperature and high pressure entering the second channel 1230 is confined in the second channel 1230 and cannot flow into the first channel 1220. In other words, the partition 130 may be used to separate the fluid entering the first channel 1220 or the second channel 1230 to prevent the fluid of high temperature and high pressure from flowing into the other channel. This can reduce the possibility that the battery without abnormality is damaged by the high-temperature and high-pressure fluid.

According to the battery tray 100 of the power battery pack 400 of the embodiment of the disclosure, the gas channel 1210 can be divided into the first channel 1220 and the second channel 1230 by arranging the partition plate 130 in the gas channel 1210, so that one of the channels can be isolated, and the high-temperature and high-pressure fluid flowing into one of the channels is prevented from entering the other channel, so that the probability that the battery without abnormality is damaged by the high-temperature and high-pressure fluid can be reduced, other batteries in the battery tray 100 can be protected, and the safety of the power battery pack 400 can be further improved.

In some examples, the cross member 30 and the edge member 20 may be configured as a hollow structure as the gas passage 1210, and this arrangement enables the gas passage 1210 to be formed inside the cross member 30 and the edge member 20, and the gas passage 1210 may be prevented from being formed outside the cross member 30 and the edge member 20, so that the volume of the battery tray 100 may be reduced.

As shown in fig. 9 to 12, to facilitate the arrangement of the partition 130 in the gas passage 1210, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, a first fitting portion 1223 may be arranged in the gas passage 1210, the partition 130 has a second fitting portion 131 adapted to the first fitting portion 1223, and one of the first fitting portion 1223 and the second fitting portion 131 is a groove body. It will be appreciated that by providing the fitting structure on the peripheral wall of the gas passage 1210 and mounting and fixing the partition 130 by the fitting structure, it is convenient to mount the partition 130 in the gas passage 1210 on the one hand, and to improve the stability of the assembly of the partition 130 on the other hand, so that the partition 130 can sufficiently bear the impact of the fluid of high temperature and high pressure.

In some examples, the separator 130, the edge sill 20, and the bottom plate 10 may be configured as a hollow structure, which may serve as a gas passage, such that the gas passage 1210 may be formed inside the separator 130, the edge sill 20, and the bottom plate 10, and the gas passage 1210 may be prevented from being formed outside the separator 130, the edge sill 20, and the bottom plate 10, such that the volume of the battery tray 100 may be further reduced.

Further, as shown in fig. 11 and 12, the partition 130 has a first edge 132 and a second edge 133 opposite to each other, and the first edge 132 and the second edge 133 are configured as the second fitting portion 131. The first fitting portion 1223 may include a first sub-portion 1225 and a second sub-portion 1227, the first sub-portion 1225 and the second sub-portion 1227 are disposed on an inner wall of the gas passage 1210, the first sub-portion 1225 and the second sub-portion 1227 are both groove bodies, the first edge 132 is fitted to the first sub-portion 1225, and the second edge 133 is fitted to the second sub-portion 1227. Thus, the installation and positioning can be achieved by the structure of the partition 130 itself, so that the structure of the partition 130 can be simplified, and the assembly process between the partition 130 and the peripheral wall of the gas passage 1210 can be simplified.

In some examples, as shown in FIG. 11, the inner wall of the gas passage 1210 has first and second spaced-

apart projections

1224, 1226, the first projection 1224 having a first sub-portion 1225 and the second projection 1226 having a second sub-portion 1227. On the one hand, the first projection 1224 and the second projection 1226 may be used to position the installation position of the partition 130 so as to install the partition 130 in the gas passage 1210, and on the other hand, the installation stability between the partition 130 and the inner wall of the gas passage 1210 may be further improved.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 8, the separator 130 may be integral with the battery tray 100. It is understood that the partition 130 may be extended from the battery tray 100, which can save the assembly time of the partition 130 and improve the connection strength between the partition 130 and the inner wall of the gas channel 1210. To further improve the safety of the battery cell 200 located at both sides of the gas channel 1210, in some embodiments, the first channel 1220 and the second channel 1230 are independent and do not communicate with each other.

As shown in fig. 12, 13, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, at least one of the inner walls of the first channel 1220 and the inner walls of the second channel 1230 is provided with an insulating layer 140. It should be noted that the isolation layer 140 may be a fire-retardant coating layer or a composite fire-retardant sheet layer, which has the advantages of good fire-retardant and fire-resistant properties, and when a high-temperature and high-pressure airflow flows into the first channel 1220 or the second channel 1230, the isolation layer 140 may effectively avoid thermal runaway or thermal diffusion.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 12, 13, at least a portion of the isolation layer 140 is provided on the surface of the spacer 130. It should be noted that the first channel 1220 and the second channel 1230 are separated by the separator 130, and the isolation layer 140 is disposed on the separator 130, so that the efficiency of heat transfer between the first channel 1220 and the second channel 1230 can be reduced, and thus, part of the battery cells 200 can be protected, and the safety performance of the power battery pack 400 is improved.

In some embodiments, the cross beam 30 and the bottom plate 10 may be hollow structures, and the hollow structures may serve as the gas channels 1210, so that the gas channels 1210 are formed inside the cross beam 30 and the bottom plate 10, and the gas channels 1210 are prevented from being formed outside the cross beam 30 and the bottom plate 10, thereby further reducing the volume of the battery tray 100.

In some embodiments, an air inlet hole 31 may be provided on a peripheral wall of the gas channel 1210, and the fluid discharged from the single explosion-proof valve 201 may enter the gas channel 1210 through the air inlet hole 31, at least a portion of the isolation layer 140 being opposite to the air inlet hole 31. It should be noted that "at least a portion of the isolation layer 140 is opposite to the air inlet hole 31" herein can be understood as: when a fluid is injected into the gas channel 1210 through the gas inlet hole 31, the fluid is injected toward the isolation layer 140, i.e., the isolation layer 140 is spaced apart from the gas inlet hole 31, and the fluid can contact the isolation layer 140 when the flow rate of the fluid is sufficiently large.

It should be noted that, the fluid with high temperature and high pressure is ejected from the single explosion-proof valve 201 and is ejected into the gas channel 1210 through the air inlet 31, the fluid has a certain flow speed when entering the first channel 1220 or the second channel 1230, or the fluid is ejected into the first channel 1220 or the second channel 1230 in an ejection shape, and by providing the isolation layer 140 on the inner wall surface of the channel opposite to the air inlet 31, the heat can be well isolated, and the possibility of thermal runaway or thermal diffusion can be reduced.

For example, when the air intake hole 31 communicates with the first passage 1220, the fluid discharged from the single explosion-proof valve 201 enters the first passage 1220 through the air intake hole 31, and the inner wall surface of the first passage 1220 opposite to the air intake hole 31 may be provided with the isolation layer 140; when the air inlet hole 31 communicates with the second passage 1230, the fluid discharged from the single explosion-proof valve 201 enters the second passage 1230 through the air inlet hole 31, and the inner wall surface of the second passage 1230 opposite to the air inlet hole 31 may be provided with the isolation layer 140.

In some embodiments, the baffle 130, the edge beams 30, and the base plate 10 can each be hollow structures that can serve as the gas passages 1210.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 12, the wall of the partition 130 located in the first channel 1220 and the wall of the partition 130 located in the second channel 1230 may be provided with the isolation layer 140, so that heat can be better isolated and prevented from being transferred between the first channel 1220 and the second channel 1230; in other embodiments, as shown in FIG. 13, the wall of the separator 130 in the first channel 1220, a portion of the inner wall of the gas channel 1210 in the first channel 1220, the wall of the separator 130 in the second channel 1230, and a portion of the inner wall of the gas channel 1210 in the second channel 1230 may be provided with the insulating layer 140, thereby further reducing the possibility of thermal runaway or thermal diffusion.

As shown in fig. 14-16, the battery tray 100 may also include a one-way stopper plate 1212, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Specifically, the one-way stopper 1212 may be provided at the air intake hole 31. It should be noted that the one-way stop plate 1212 is adapted to rotate between a first position and a second position, when the one-way stop plate 1212 is located at the first position, the one-way stop plate 1212 blocks the air intake holes 31; when the one-way stop plate 1212 is located at the second position, the one-way stop plate 1212 is located in the gas passage 1210, the one-way stop plate 1212 opens the gas inlet hole 31, and the fluid discharged from the unitary explosion-proof valve 201 enters the gas passage 1210 through the gas inlet hole 31. That is, the fluid within the gas channel 1210 may drive the one-way stopper 1212 to switch from the second position to the first position without further moving the one-way stopper 1212 toward the outside of the gas channel 1210, i.e., without the one-way stopper 1212 moving outside of the gas channel 1210.

Further, the one-way stopper plate 1212 may be connected to the peripheral wall of the gas passage 1210 through a connecting portion 1213, and a gap 1214 is provided between a portion of the one-way stopper plate 1212 distant from the connecting portion 1213 and the peripheral wall of the gas intake hole 31. Thereby facilitating movement of the one-way stop plate 1212 between the first position and the second position.

It should be noted that the one-way stop plate 1212 may block fluid in a single direction, for example, when there is an abnormality in the battery cell 200, the fluid with high temperature and high pressure may rush out the one-way stop plate 1212 and enter the gas channel 1210 through the gas inlet hole 31, and the one-way stop plate 1212 may be switched from the first position to the second position. Due to the increase of the gas pressure in the gas channel 1210, the gas in the gas channel 1210 easily escapes from the gas channel 1210 through the other gas inlet holes 31 under the action of the pressure in the gas channel 1210, and the one-way stop plate 1212 can block the gas flow so that the gas flow cannot pass from the inside of the gas channel 1210 to the outside of the gas channel 1210. Thereby, a fluid of high temperature and high pressure can be confined within the gas channel 1210, and for having the first and

second channels

1220, 1230 and 1210, a fluid of high temperature and high pressure can be confined within the first and

second channels

1220, 1230, respectively.

It should be noted that, during the operation of the power battery pack 400, if one or more of the first single batteries 301 are abnormal, the internal air pressure of the first single battery 301 increases, so that the first single explosion-proof valve 304 thereon is opened, and a fluid (e.g., flame, smoke, or gas) generated inside the first single battery 301 may flush the first one-way stop plate 1222, and enter the first channel 1220 through the first air inlet hole 1221.

By providing the baffle 130, flames, smoke, or gas within the first channel 1220 can be prevented from entering the second channel 1230. Further, by disposing the isolation layer 140 on the surface of the re-partition plate 130, when a high-temperature and high-pressure air flow flows into the first channel 1220 or the second channel 1230, the isolation layer 140 can effectively prevent thermal runaway or thermal diffusion.

Further, by providing the first one-way stopper 1222 at the first air inlet hole 1221, the first air inlet hole 1221 may be blocked by the first one-way stopper 1222, so that it is possible to prevent the fluid of high temperature and high pressure in the first passage 1220 from escaping to the outside of the first passage 1220 through the first air inlet hole 1221.
