The folding surfaces 10 can be arranged on each side of the heat insulation composite 1, one or more folding surfaces 10 can be arranged at will, and fig. 20 shows the heat insulation composite 1 with four folding surfaces 10, so that the module upper cover 21 and four sides of the battery module 2 can be protected, the modules can be more comprehensively wrapped, and the heat insulation effect of heat spreading between adjacent modules is improved.
According to the embodiment, according to the number and distribution positions of the electric cores in the single battery module, corresponding unidirectional exhaust areas with corresponding numbers are correspondingly arranged, and high-temperature gas discharged in any electric core in any position in thermal runaway can be directly discharged to the outside of the battery module through the blades in the corresponding positions, so that the electric cores can be reduced to transfer heat to the closely attached heat insulation assembly and the adjacent electric cores through the large surfaces of the electric cores, and the requirement on low heat conductivity coefficient of the electric core interval thermal material is effectively reduced. The high temperature gas outside the battery module cannot pass through the unidirectional exhaust region in the reverse direction, and thus cannot enter the inside of the adjacent battery module.
The blades of the unidirectional exhaust area 18 in this embodiment may adopt a single-door structure or a multi-door structure, and the unidirectional exhaust area is of a polygonal structure or a circular structure or an oval structure, and correspondingly, the exhaust holes 25 formed in the upper cover 21 of the module housing are of a polygonal structure or a circular structure or an oval structure. Specifically, the blade can adopt a single-door structure or a double-door structure or a sheet structure with three or more sheets arranged in the heat diffusion opening. The blade and the one-way exhaust region form notched medial surface can adopt vertical face contact, also can adopt the inclined plane contact, and vertical face contact is convenient for shaping, and inclined plane contact can avoid the door type structure to drop and overlap joint in electric core banding department from the exhaust hole of one-way exhaust region department.
As shown in fig. 1, the unidirectional exhaust region 18 of the present embodiment includes a connection section 16 and an opening section 17, where the blade 15 is connected to the connection section 16, and the blade 15 and the opening section 17 are closed by a notch 134 penetrating or partially penetrating the insulation composite 1, or by a thickness-reducing structure 133, or by a hot-melt structure 132, and the thickness-reducing structure 133 is empty or filled with glue. The heat insulation composite piece can directly pass through the notch, and temporary sealing is realized by utilizing contact of the blades at the notch, so that the rapid eruption and discharge of hot air flow are facilitated; the heat insulation composite piece can be thinned at the opening section and the position between the blades, so that the structural strength of the part is weakened, the hot air flow can be broken through the unidirectional exhaust area along the thinning structure, and the missing part of the thinning area of the heat insulation composite piece can be filled with no substances or hot melt adhesive; the heat insulation composite member can be provided with the hollow 131 at the opening section and between the blades, the hollow 131 is filled with the hot melting structure, when the hot melting structure is impacted by hot air flow, the hot melting structure can be melted and opened, after the hot air flow is sprayed out from the unidirectional exhaust area, the heat and impact force of the hot air flow are relatively reduced, and the hot air cannot reversely enter the battery module from the adjacent hot melting structure.
This embodiment provides the following specific embodiments of the insulation composite for the arrangement of the unidirectional exhaust region 18.
The first embodiment is as follows: as shown in fig. 1 to 5, the slit 134 penetrating the heat insulation composite 1 is punched directly on the heat insulation composite 1, the slit shape may be in the shape of brackets + lines to form a double door vane shape, as shown in fig. 1, the slit 134 is in a closed form having no slit or little slit, and the vane 15 may be closed by the slit 134 in contact with the opened section 17 of the unidirectional exhaust region 18 of the heat insulation composite 1. When thermal runaway of the cell occurs, the blade 15 may be opened directly along the slit opening 134. And because the adjacent blades which do not generate thermal runaway are closely attached to the upper cover of the module shell, the reverse entering of hot air flow into the battery module from the adjacent blade cuts is avoided.
The second embodiment is as follows: as shown in fig. 6, the blade and the notch are formed in the same manner as in the first embodiment, and small notches can be formed at the edge of the blade and the edge of the opening section, so that the rapid implementation of directional burst is facilitated.
And a third specific embodiment: as shown in fig. 7 and 8, an opening section 17 is punched on the first composite structure, the opening section 17 is a hollow 131 with a slit in an opening form, then an adhesive film is stuck on the first composite structure, and the opening section is not provided on the adhesive film, that is, the adhesive film is a complete surface structure, and the opening section 17 with the hollow 131 is closed by the adhesive film. When the thermal runaway of the battery core occurs, hot air flow is directly sprayed out from the hollow 131 of the opening section 17, so that the adhesive film is melted. And it is difficult to enter the battery module from the adjacent blade slits because of the great reduction in heat and firing rate when the hot air stream is fired.
The specific embodiment IV is as follows: as shown in fig. 9 and 10, the blade and the slit are formed in the same manner as in the third embodiment, and the hollow 131 of the opening section may be filled with a heat-fusible structure, so that the entry into the battery module from the adjacent blade slit is further prevented.
Fifth embodiment: as shown in fig. 11 and 12, on the basis of the first embodiment, a thickness reduction structure 133 is provided on the first composite structure such that the thickness reduction structure 133 is located on both sides of the opening section 17.

Eighth embodiment: as shown in fig. 15, on the basis of the first embodiment, the shape of the opening section of the one-way exhaust region 18 may be set to a polygonal shape.
Detailed description nine: as shown in fig. 16 and 17, for the third composite structure, a first blade is die-cut on the first composite structure, a second blade is die-cut on the flexible fireproof member 12, that is, the first blade is connected to the unidirectional air discharge area 18 of the first composite structure, and the second blade is connected to the unidirectional air discharge area 18 of the flexible fireproof member 12; the unidirectional air discharge area 18 of the first composite structure comprises a first connecting section and a first opening section 171, the unidirectional air discharge area 18 of the flexible fireproof member 12 comprises a second connecting section and a second opening section 172, and the first opening section 171 and the second opening section 172 are arranged in a staggered manner. Specifically, as shown in fig. 17, the first opening section 171 may be further configured in the shape of the foregoing embodiment, the middle door seam of the second opening section 172 is configured as a folded line, and the second blade of the flexible fireproof member 12 is also configured with a second opening section in the form of a notch, so that the second opening section and the first opening section 171 are staggered, thereby avoiding the hot air flow from reversely penetrating into the battery module, and also facilitating the flushing and the discharging of the hot air flow from the flexible fireproof member 12.
The outline shape of the unidirectional exhaust region 18 of the present embodiment includes, but is not limited to, elliptical, circular, hexagonal, H-shaped, i-shaped, square, and the like.

The size of the unidirectional exhaust area is designed to be larger than the size of the exhaust hole, so that the unidirectional exhaust area can be supported by utilizing the structure around the exhaust hole, and the risk that the incision is not closed tightly due to the fact that the blade falls into the exhaust hole due to self weight is avoided.
