Examples
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the present embodiment provides a battery module 100, where the battery module 100 can be used as a power source of a new energy automobile, and also used for preparing energy storage equipment or used as a mobile power source to supply power to electric equipment.
In this embodiment, the battery module 100 includes a plurality of battery cells 110 and a plurality of three-way modules 130 corresponding to the battery cells 110 one by one. The three-way module 130 has a first contact 131, a second contact 133, and a third contact 135. The second contact 133 and the third contact 135 of any three-way module 130 are electrically connected to the first electrode and the second electrode of the plurality of cells 110, respectively, the first contact 131 is electrically connected to the first electrode or the second electrode of another cell 110 or the first total electrode 173 of the battery module 100, and when the first contacts 131 and the third contacts 135 of all three-way modules 130 are turned on, all the cells 110 and the first total electrode 173 are sequentially connected in series. When the first contact 131 and the second contact 133 of any three-way module 130 are connected, the three-way module 130 can short-circuit the corresponding battery cell 110 to isolate the battery cell from the serial circuit of the battery module 100.
In this embodiment, the tee module 130 is correspondingly disposed for each battery cell 110, and the plurality of battery cells 110 are connected in series through the tee module 130, so that when one or more battery cells 110 fail or fail, the conduction state of the tee module 130 corresponding to the battery cell 110 can be switched, so that the failed battery cell 110 can be isolated from the series circuit of the battery module 100, and thus the battery module 100 can also form a complete path without affecting the use of the battery module 100. The isolated battery cell 110 liquid does not participate in the discharging or charging process of the battery module 100, so that the risk of thermal runaway of the battery module 100 can be reduced. Secondly, under the condition that the battery module 100 is normal, the number of the battery cells 110 forming the series circuit in the battery module 100 can be selected according to the user requirement, and the unnecessary battery cells 110 are isolated from the series circuit of the battery module 100, so that the output voltage of the battery module 100 can be adjusted, and the multipurpose use of the battery module 100 is realized.
One of the first electrode and the second electrode is a positive electrode of the battery cell 110, and the other is a negative electrode of the battery cell 110. The first total electrode 173 may be the total positive electrode or the total negative electrode of the battery module 100.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in the present embodiment, in order to ensure that the position of the second total electrode 171 of the battery module 100 is unchanged in any state, in the present embodiment, the battery module 100 further includes a three-way module 150, and the three-way module 150 has a first connection point 151, a second connection point 153, and a third connection point 155. The first and second connection points 151 and 153 are connected to the first and second electrodes of one battery cell 110, respectively, and the third connection point 155 is connected to the second total electrode 171 of the battery module 100. When the first connection point 151 is conducted with the third connection point 155 and the first connection points 131 and the third connection points 135 of all the three-way modules 130 are conducted, the first total electrodes 173, all the battery cells 110 and the second total electrodes 171 are sequentially connected in series. When the first contact 131 and the second contact 133 of the three-way module 130 corresponding to the battery cell 110 electrically connected to the three-way module 150 are turned on, the second connection point 153 and the third connection point 155 are turned on, so that the first total electrode 173, the other battery cells 110 and the second total electrode 171 can be sequentially connected in series.
The three-way module 150 is provided in this embodiment, so that when the battery cell 110 connected to the second total electrode 171 is isolated, it can be ensured that the second total electrode 171 also corresponds to the electrode of the corresponding serial circuit of the battery module 100, and the connection between the second total electrode 171 and the battery cell 110 does not need to be changed, so that a more scheme is used.
To facilitate understanding of the technical solution of the present embodiment, the present embodiment is described by taking the battery module 100 having six battery cells 110 as an example:
referring to fig. 1, specifically, the six electric cells 110 are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, and the six tee modules 130 corresponding to each other are numbered A, B, C, D, E and F. The second contact 133 of the three-way module 130 is connected to the positive electrode of the corresponding No. 1 cell 110, the third contact 135 is connected to the negative electrode of the No. 1 cell 110, and the first contact 131 is connected to the total negative electrode of the battery module 100. The second contact 133 of the three-way module 130 is connected to the positive electrode of the No. 2 cell 110 corresponding to the second contact, the third contact 135 is connected to the negative electrode of the No. 2 cell 110, and the first contact 131 is connected to the positive electrode of the No. 1 cell 110. The second contact 133 of the three-way module 130 is connected to the positive electrode of the No. 3 cell 110 corresponding to the second contact 133, the third contact 135 is connected to the negative electrode of the No. 3 cell 110, and the first contact 131 is connected to the positive electrode of the No. 2 cell 110. The second contact 133 of the three-way module 130 is connected to the positive electrode of the No. 4 cell 110 corresponding to the second contact, the third contact 135 is connected to the negative electrode of the No. 4 cell 110, and the first contact 131 is connected to the positive electrode of the No. 3 cell 110. The second contact 133 of the three-way module 130 is connected to the positive electrode of the No. 5 cell 110 corresponding to the second contact, the third contact 135 is connected to the negative electrode of the No. 5 cell 110, and the first contact 131 is connected to the positive electrode of the No. 4 cell 110. The second contact 133 of the three-way module 130 is connected to the positive electrode of the corresponding No. 6 cell 110, the third contact 135 is connected to the negative electrode of the No. 6 cell 110, and the first contact 131 is connected to the positive electrode of the No. 5 cell 110. The first connection point 151 of the three-way module 150 is conducted with the positive electrode of the No. 6 cell 110, the second connection point 153 is conducted with the negative electrode of the No. 6 cell 110, and the third connection point 155 is conducted with the total positive electrode of the battery module 100. Thus, when all the first and second contacts 131 and 133 of the three-way module 130 are turned on and the first and third connection points 151 and 155 of the three-way module 150 are turned on, all the cells 110 are connected in series between the total negative and positive electrodes.
In this embodiment, the first contact 131 is connected to the positive electrode of the next cell 110 or the total negative electrode of the battery module 100.
For example, when the No. 2 cell 110 needs to be isolated, the first contact 131 of the tee module 130 corresponding to the No. 2 cell 110 needs to be switched to be conductive with the third contact 135. When the number 6 battery cell 110 needs to be isolated, the first contact 131 of the three-way module 130 needs to be switched to be conducted with the third contact 135, and the second connection point 153 of the three-way module 150 is conducted with the third connection point 155 to isolate the number 6 battery cell 110, and the total positive electrode and the total negative electrode of the battery module 100 are not affected.
Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the wiring of the tee module 130 and the tee module may be adjusted to achieve the above functions. Referring specifically to fig. 2, the principle is the same as that of the above embodiment, and the description of this embodiment is omitted.

The tee module 130 is also electrically connected to the controller. The controller is used for controlling the three-way module 130 according to the operation parameter so as to conduct the first contact 131 with the second contact 133 or the third contact 135.
The control of the three-way module 130 is realized by using the detection sensor in the embodiment, so that when the operating parameters such as voltage, temperature and the like of the battery cell 110 are no longer in a preset range, the automatic isolation of the battery cell 110 can be realized, and the operation is more convenient.
In this embodiment, the controller is further electrically connected to the three-way module 150, and can control the third connection point 155 of the three-way module 150 to be selectively connected to the first connection point 151 or the second connection point 153.
