With continued reference to fig. 5 and 6, the injection safety device 200 may be provided to a wall (not shown in fig. 5 and 6) of the electrode terminal 1311 of the battery 100, and a first receiving groove 240 for receiving the electrode terminal 1311 is formed in the injection safety device 200.
Specifically, in this embodiment, the electrode terminal 1311 and the liquid injection port 1312 of the battery 100 may be located on the same wall of the battery 100, in which case the liquid injection safety device 200 may be provided in the battery 100 on the wall where the liquid injection port 1312 and the electrode terminal 1311 are located. The surface of the wall of the injection safety device 200 facing the injection port 1312 and the electrode terminal 1311 is formed with a first accommodating groove 240, so as to be convenient for accommodating the electrode terminal 1311 of the battery 100, so as to have a good protection effect on the electrode terminal 1311, and enable the injection safety device 200 to be accurately aligned with the battery 100, and promote the correspondence between the injection part channel 210 in the injection safety device 200 and the injection port 1312 in the battery 100, so as to further promote the manufacturing performance of the battery 100 in the injection process.
Alternatively, the shape of the first receiving groove 240 matches the shape of the electrode terminal 1311.
As an example, in the case where the electrode terminal 1311 is an annular protrusion electrode terminal, the first receiving groove 240 may be an annular receiving groove.
In the case where the first receiving groove 240 and the electrode terminal 1311 are matched with each other, alignment accuracy between the two is high, and tight fitting can be achieved, improving connection stability between the injection safety device 200 and the battery 100. Meanwhile, the gap between the first accommodating groove 240 and the electrode terminal 1311 is smaller, and the first accommodating groove 240 can well protect the electrode terminal 1311, so that interference and influence of the external environment on the electrode terminal 1311 in the liquid injection process are reduced.
With continued reference to fig. 5, in some embodiments, a gas-guide groove 260 is provided in the liquid-filled safety device 200, the gas-guide groove 260 communicating with a first surface of the liquid-filled safety device 200 that is attached to the battery 100 and a surface of the liquid-filled safety device 200 that faces the external environment.
Specifically, in the case where the liquid injection safety device 200 is correspondingly disposed on the battery 100, for example, in the case where the liquid injection safety device 200 is a liquid injection safety cap that is fastened to the battery 100, most of the area of the surface of the liquid injection safety device 200 facing the battery 100 may be attached to the wall of the battery 100, so that there is a high degree of fit and stable connection between the liquid injection safety device 200 and the battery 100.
In the case where the first surface of the liquid injection safety device 200 is attached to the battery 100, a gap between the first surface and the battery 100 is small, so that a small pressure or even a negative pressure is easily formed between the first surface and the battery 100, and in the process of separating the liquid injection safety device 200 from the battery 100 after the liquid injection is completed, the small pressure or even the negative pressure between the first surface and the battery 100 can make the liquid injection safety device 200 not easily separate from the battery 100, thereby affecting the production efficiency of the battery 100.
In view of this, in the embodiment of the present application, the gas guide groove 260 is disposed in the injection safety device 200, the gas guide groove 260 is connected to the first surface of the injection safety device 200 attached to the battery 100 and the surface of the injection safety device 200 facing the external environment, and the gas guide groove 260 can guide the atmospheric gas in the external environment into the gap between the first surface of the injection safety device 200 and the battery 100, so as to increase the pressure between the injection safety device 200 and the battery 100, and facilitate the separation of the injection safety device 200 from the battery 100, thereby improving the production efficiency of the battery 100.
In some possible embodiments, the air guide groove 260 communicates with a first surface of the injection safety device 200 attached to the battery 100 and a second surface of the injection safety device 200 opposite to the first surface.
Specifically, in this embodiment, the second surface opposite to the first surface is a surface of the liquid injection safety device 200 facing away from the battery 100, and the second surface is one of surfaces of the liquid injection safety device 200 facing toward the external environment.
In this embodiment, the air guide groove 260 may be a linear air guide channel extending through the injection safety device 200. The radial dimension of the air guide channel may be designed to be smaller, for example, the radial dimension of the air guide channel may be smaller than the radial dimension of the injector channel 210. With the smaller radial dimension of the air guide channel, the possibility that an interfering object in the external environment contacts the battery 100 through the air guide channel can be reduced, thereby reducing the interference and influence of the external environment on the battery 100.
By the technical scheme of the embodiment, the air guide groove 260 is designed to be communicated with the first surface and the second surface which are opposite, so that the air guide groove 260 can be conveniently manufactured in the liquid injection safety device 200, and the overall manufacturing cost of the liquid injection safety device 200 is reduced.
In some alternative embodiments, the air guide groove 260 may be designed as a curved or bent linear air guide channel, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the shape design of the air guide groove 260.
The air guide groove 260 may be communicated with the first surface of the injection safety device 200 and the surface facing the external environment, and may also be communicated with the first surface and the injection material passage 210. Specifically, after the injector 300 is pulled away from the injector channel 210, the injector channel 210 may also be in communication with the atmosphere, and the air guide 260 may also guide the atmospheric gas to the first surface when the air guide 260 is in communication with the first surface and the injector channel 210.
In some possible embodiments, as shown in fig. 5, the number of the air guide grooves 260 may be plural, and the plurality of air guide grooves 260 may be disposed on two sides of the injection channel 210, so as to further reduce the possibility of forming a lower pressure or even a negative pressure between the injection safety device 200 and the battery 100.
Fig. 7 shows another schematic structural diagram of the injection safety device 200 and the battery 100 according to the embodiment of the present application. Alternatively, the priming safety device 200 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 7 may be the same structure as the priming safety device 200 in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 above.
As shown in fig. 7, in the embodiment of the present application, the injection port 1312 of the battery 100 is provided with a sealing member 140, and the injection passage 210 is provided corresponding to the sealing member 140, and the injection passage 210 is used to pass through the injection member 300 so that the injection member 300 injects the electrolyte into the interior of the battery 100 through the sealing member 140.
Specifically, the sealing member 140 is a structural member with sealing effect, and its external shape and size can be adapted to the liquid injection port 1312 of the battery 100, so as to perform a good sealing effect on the liquid injection port 1312 of the battery 100. In addition, the sealing member 140 may have a certain hardness, so as to improve the service performance of the sealing member 140 and reduce the influence of external stress on the sealing member 140.
Alternatively, in some embodiments, where the injection member 300 is an injection needle, the needle end of the injection needle may pierce the seal 140 under a certain pressure.
In addition, the seal 140 may be an elastic material, and the seal 140 may be elastically deformed after the syringe 300 is pulled away from the seal 140 to reduce the gap formed in the seal 140 by the syringe 300.
In this embodiment, after the injection molding 300 is pulled away from the sealing member 140, the elastic deformation of the sealing member 140 may make the gap in the sealing member 140 very small or even negligible, and the very small gap does not substantially affect the sealability of the battery 100, so that the sealing member 140 may be reused as a sealing member of the battery 100 during normal use to seal the injection port 1312 of the battery 100 in addition to improving the manufacturing performance of the battery 100 during injection. By the technical scheme of the embodiment, the manufacturing performance and the service performance of the battery 100 in the liquid injection process are improved comprehensively.
By way of example and not limitation, the material of the seal 140 may include rubber. The rubber material has better sealing property, certain hardness and better elastic deformation performance.
In some implementations, the seal 140 can be a glue spike. The seal 140 may be approximately nail-shaped in shape with a nut and a shank. The glue nail can be easily and stably installed at the liquid injection port 1312 of the battery 100 to have a good sealing effect on the battery 100.
In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, the liquid injection port 1312 of the battery 100 is provided with the sealing member 140, and in the liquid injection process, the liquid injection member 300 is utilized to penetrate through the sealing member 140 to enter the interior of the battery 100 for liquid injection, so that the problem of electrolyte pollution caused by leakage of electrolyte in the liquid injection process can be further reduced, and the manufacturing performance of the battery 100 in the liquid injection process and the use reliability of the battery 100 are improved.
In order to fit the sealing member 140, as shown in fig. 5 and 7, the injection safety device 200 may be provided with a second receiving groove 250, and the second receiving groove 250 is used to receive the sealing member 140.
Specifically, the second receiving groove 250 may be disposed at an end of the filler channel 210 facing the battery 100, that is, the second receiving groove 250 is disposed at an outlet end of the filler channel 210, thereby receiving the sealing member 140 corresponding to the filler channel 210. The shape of the second accommodating groove 250 can be matched with the sealing element 140 to design, so that the sealing element 140 can be well protected, and interference and influence of the external environment on the sealing element 140 in the liquid injection process are reduced.
Fig. 8 shows another schematic cross-sectional view of a priming safety device 200 provided by an embodiment of the present application.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 8, the length L1 of the sprue channel 210 and the length L2 of the target segment in the sprue 300 may satisfy: L1.gtoreq.2XL2, wherein the target segment is located at an end of the filler piece 300 facing the interior of the battery 100 and is located outside the filler piece channel 210. By way of example, where the insert 300 is a needle, the target segment is located at the needle end of the needle and outside of the insert channel 210.
Alternatively, in the case where the inlet end of the syringe channel 210 is provided with the first inclined guide groove 220, the length L1 of the syringe channel 210 may include the depth of the first inclined guide groove 220.
Specifically, in this embodiment, the length of the injector 300 in the injector channel 210 is the length L1 of the injector channel 210, and a portion of the injector 300 in the injector channel 210 may be constrained by the injector channel 210 to control the distortion of the injector 300.
In the case where the syringe 300 is a syringe needle, the needle of the syringe 300 may pass through the syringe channel 210 to enter the interior of the battery 100, and thus a partial section (i.e., a target section) in the needle end of the syringe 300 may be located outside the syringe channel 210, with at least a portion of the target section being located in the interior of the battery 100. In the case where the liquid filling port 1312 of the battery 100 is provided with the sealing member 140, at least part of the target segment is located in the sealing member 140.
When the length L1 of the injection member channel 210 is greater, and the length L2 of the injection member 300 at a target segment other than the injection member channel 210 is smaller, for example, when the length L1 is greater than or equal to 2×l2, the injection member channel 210 can perform a better constraint function on the injection member 300, so that the overall distortion of the injection member 300 is reduced, and the injection member 300 can enter the injection port 1312 of the battery 100 at a better angle to reduce interference and influence of the injection member 300 on structural members at the injection port 1312. In addition, in the case where the filling port 1312 of the battery 100 is provided with the sealing member 140, the filling member 300 can pass through the sealing member 140 at a preferable angle, so that the filling member 300 can pass through the sealing member 140 effectively and rapidly to enter the inside of the battery 100.
Alternatively, with continued reference to FIG. 8, the diameter D1 of the insert 300 and the diameter D2 of the insert channel 210 satisfy: 0 < (D2-D1)/D1 is less than or equal to 0.15.
Specifically, in this embodiment, the diameter D2 of the syringe channel 210 will be greater than the diameter D1 of the syringe 300, i.e., D2-D1 > 0, to enable the syringe 300 to pass smoothly through the syringe channel 210.
Further, the difference (D2-D1) between the diameter D2 of the injector channel 210 and the diameter D1 of the injector 300 is also (D2-D1)/D1 is less than or equal to 0.15, in which case, the difference between the diameter D2 of the injector channel 210 and the diameter D1 of the injector 300 may be smaller, so that the injector channel 210 has a good constraining effect on the injector 300, and the injector 300 with a larger distortion cannot enter the battery 100 through the injector channel 210. Through the technical scheme of the embodiment, the overall distortion of the liquid injection part 300 can be reduced, so that the liquid injection part 300 can enter the liquid injection port 1312 of the battery 100 at a better angle to reduce the interference and influence of the liquid injection part 300 on the structural parts at the liquid injection port 1312.
In some possible embodiments, the material of the injection safety device 200 may include a high molecular polymer. By way of example, the high molecular polymer includes, but is not limited to, polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and the like.
Specifically, in order to make the battery 100 have better use stability and reliability, the housing of the battery 100 is generally made of a metal material, and in order to reduce abrasion and influence on the battery 100 when the injection safety device 200 contacts with the battery 100, the material of the injection safety device 200 may be a non-metal polymer. The high-molecular polymer can have better wear resistance, higher strength and higher corrosion resistance, so that the high-molecular polymer can be stably and reliably applied to the liquid injection process of the battery 100, plays a role in protecting the battery 100, and has smaller influence on the battery 100.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 8, the liquid injection safety device 200 may be a liquid injection safety cap in the embodiment shown in fig. 5 to 7. The relevant structural features of the priming safety device 200 may be found in the relevant description of any of the embodiments of fig. 5 to 7 above.
Optionally, in the injection safety cap, a first inclined guide groove 220 is formed at an end of the injection member channel 210 remote from the battery 100. In addition, a second inclined guiding groove 230 may be disposed at one end of the injection safety cap fastened to the battery 100. The first and second inclined guide grooves 220 and 230 may each be a tapered guide groove.
Optionally, the injection safety cap is fastened to the electrode terminal 1311 and the wall of the injection port 1312 in the battery 100, where the sealing member 140 is disposed at the injection port 1312. The injection cap has a first accommodation groove 240 for accommodating the electrode terminal 1311 and a second accommodation groove 250 for accommodating the sealing member 140. The shapes of the first receiving groove 240 and the second receiving groove 250 may be matched with the electrode terminal 1311 and the sealing member 140, so that the injection safety cap has a better fit with the battery 100. The first accommodating groove 240 and the second accommodating groove 250 can also realize accurate alignment of the injection safety cap and the battery 100, so that the injection part channel 210 in the injection safety cap can be aligned with the sealing part 140 of the battery 100 more accurately.
In addition, the gas guide groove 260 may be further provided in the injection safety cap, and the gas guide groove 260 is in communication with the first surface of the injection safety device 200 attached to the battery 100 and the surface of the injection safety device 200 facing the external environment. The air guide groove 260 can guide the air in the external environment into the gap between the first surface of the injection safety device 200 and the battery 100, so as to increase the pressure between the injection safety device 200 and the battery 100, facilitate the separation of the injection safety device 200 from the battery 100, and further improve the production efficiency of the battery 100. Alternatively, the number of the air guide grooves 260 may be plural, and the air guide grooves 260 may be disposed on two sides of the injector channel 210.
The above description is made with reference to fig. 2 to 8 to illustrate the injection safety device of the battery provided by the present application, and the following description is made with reference to fig. 9 to illustrate the injection method of the battery provided by the present application. It can be understood that the related technical solutions of the liquid injection method in the following embodiments may correspond to the related technical solutions of the liquid injection safety device in the foregoing embodiments, and details of the specific solutions may be referred to the related descriptions of the foregoing embodiments, which are not repeated herein.
Fig. 9 shows a schematic flow diagram of a method 10 for filling a battery according to an embodiment of the present application.
As shown in fig. 9, the method 10 of filling a battery may include the following steps.
S101: a liquid injection safety device is arranged on the battery, and a liquid injection piece channel corresponding to a liquid injection port of the battery is formed in the liquid injection safety device.
S102: the liquid filling piece is moved in the liquid filling piece channel so that the liquid filling piece enters the interior of the battery through the liquid filling piece channel and the liquid filling port.
S103: electrolyte is injected into the battery through the injection member.
Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the liquid injection method 10 may be applied to the battery 100 and the liquid injection safety device 200 in any of the above embodiments. The subject of the infusion method 10 may be an infusion system in a battery production line that may include multiple infusion devices to facilitate the execution of multiple steps in the infusion method 10.
In step S101, the battery production line may be provided with a mounting apparatus for mounting the liquid injection safety device 200, which may provide the liquid injection safety device 200 on the battery 100, and a liquid injection member passage 210 corresponding to the liquid injection port 1312 of the battery 100 is formed in the liquid injection safety device 200. Alternatively, the related design of the priming safety 200 and the priming channel 210 may be as described above with respect to any of the embodiments of fig. 2-8.
In step S102, the battery production line may be configured with a filler control device that may control the movement of the filler 300. In the case where the filler 300 is a filler needle, the filler control apparatus may pierce the filler needle into the filler channel 210 in the filler safety device 200 so that the filler needle can enter the interior of the battery 100 through the filler channel 210. Optionally, the related design of the injector channel 210 and the injector 300 may also be described in connection with any of the embodiments of fig. 2-8 above.
In step S103, the battery production line may be provided with a liquid injection device that can inject an electrolyte into the inside of the battery 100 through the liquid injection member 300. Alternatively, the electrolyte injection device may be understood as an electrolyte supply device connected to the electrolyte injection member 300, the electrolyte injection member 300 having an electrolyte injection passage formed therein, and the electrolyte in the electrolyte injection device flowing into the interior of the battery 100 through the electrolyte injection passage in the electrolyte injection member 300. Optionally, a switch may be disposed at the connection between the priming device and the priming member 300, where the priming device and the priming channel in the priming member 300 are in communication with each other when the switch is controlled to open, and where the priming device and the priming channel in the priming member 300 are turned off when the switch is controlled to close.
In some possible embodiments, before step S101 above, the priming method 10 may further include: in this case, the sealing member 140 is disposed at the liquid injection port 1312 of the battery 100, and the step S102 may include: the syringe 300 is moved within the syringe channel 210 such that the syringe 300 enters the interior of the battery 100 through the syringe channel 210 and the seal 140 at the syringe port 1312.
Alternatively, the relevant technical solution of the sealing member 140 can be seen from the above description of the embodiment shown in fig. 7. In the case where the sealing member 140 is provided at the liquid filling port 1312 of the battery 100, the battery 100 may have better liquid filling reliability.
In some embodiments, the internal gas of the battery 100 may be discharged through the electrolyte injection member 300 before the above step S103, i.e., before the electrolyte is injected into the interior of the battery 100 through the electrolyte injection member 300.
Through the technical scheme of the embodiment, the gas in the battery 100 can be discharged by the liquid injection member 300, and then the electrolyte is injected into the battery 100 through the liquid injection member 300, so that the discharged internal gas does not occupy the accommodating space in the battery 100, thereby being beneficial to improving the energy density and the product performance of the battery 100.
