In view of this, the present invention provides a battery module, and fig. 1 to 3 are embodiments of the battery module provided by the present invention, and the battery module will be described with reference to the specific drawings.
Referring to fig. 1 to 3, the battery module 100 includes a main body 1 and a control circuit 2, wherein the main body 1 is internally provided with a battery module 11, and the main body 1 has opposite ends, and both ends thereof are provided with a first electrical connection point 12 and a second electrical connection point 13; the control circuit 2 is disposed in the main body 1, and has a parallel state for controlling two first connection points 12 to communicate with one electrode of the battery module 11 and two second connection points 13 to communicate with another electrode of the battery module 11, so as to enable a plurality of battery modules 11 to be stacked in the same direction and connected in parallel; and controlling the series state that the first connection point 12 at one end of the main body 1 is communicated with one electrode of the battery module 11, and the second connection point 13 at the other end of the main body 1 is communicated with the other electrode of the battery module 11, so that a plurality of battery modules 11 are stacked in different directions and connected in series.
In the technical solution of the present invention, the battery module 100 includes the main body 1 and the control circuit 2, both ends of the main body 1 are provided with the first electrical connection point 12 and the second electrical connection point 13, which are used for connection when an external device is powered on, and are used for interconnection when a plurality of battery modules 100 are stacked, and what is needed to be improved in the present application is a connection mode, i.e. parallel connection or series connection, when a plurality of battery modules 100 are interconnected when stacked, so as to meet the requirements of different battery packs 1000. Specifically, the control circuit 2 is disposed in the main body 1 in the present application, so as to adjust the parallel and serial modes of the internal connection circuits of the first and second connection points 12 and 13 on the main body 1 by adjusting and controlling the internal connection circuits. When the battery modules 100 are in the parallel mode, the two first electrical connection points 12 on the main body 1 are communicated and connected with one electrode of the battery module 11, the two second electrical connection points 13 are communicated and connected with the other electrode of the battery module 11, and at this time, a plurality of battery modules 100 in the parallel mode are stacked in the same direction, i.e. the first electrical connection point 12 on one battery module 100 is communicated with the first electrical connection point 12 on the other battery module 100, and meanwhile, the second electrical connection points 13 between the two battery modules are communicated, so that the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the battery module 11 in the two battery modules 100 are all in parallel connection, and the parallel connection requirement of a plurality of battery modules 100 in the battery pack 1000 is met. When the battery modules 100 are in the series mode, the first electrical connection point 12 at one end of the main body 1 is connected with one electrode of the battery module 11, the second electrical connection point 13 at the other end of the main body 1 is connected with the other electrode of the battery module 11, and at this time, a plurality of battery modules 100 in the series mode are stacked in an opposite direction, that is, the first electrical connection point 12 on one battery module 100 is communicated with the second electrical connection point 13 on the other battery module 100, so that one electrode of the battery module 11 on one battery module 100 is communicated with the other electrode of the battery module 11 on the other battery module 100, and a plurality of battery modules 100 are stacked to form a serial connection form, thereby meeting the serial connection requirement of a plurality of battery modules 100 in the battery pack 1000. In summary, the connection mode of the battery modules 100 can be switched by adjusting the circuit in the main body 1 according to the control circuit 2, and the serial or parallel connection of the plurality of battery modules 100 in the battery pack 1000 can be switched by adjusting the stacking mode of the battery modules 100 to adjust the adapting circuit, so that the operation is simple and convenient, and the use requirement is met.
Specifically, the control circuit 2 includes a first control circuit 2 and a second control circuit 2, where the first control circuit 2 includes a first connection main line 21 connected to two first connection points 12, a first switch 22 is disposed on the first connection main line 21, and a first connection branch line 23 that is connected to an electrode of the battery module 11 is disposed at a position of the first switch 22 near one end of the main body 1; the second control circuit 2 includes a second connection main line 24 connected to the two second connection points 13, a second switch 25 is disposed on the second connection main line 24, and a second connection branch line 26 connected to another electrode of the battery module 11 is disposed at a position of the second switch 25 near the other end of the main body 1. The embodiments of the control circuit 2 may be various, including not limited to two sets of circuits, and the series state and the parallel state are respectively implemented, so that when the switching is needed, the whole switching is directly performed, but obviously, the setting of the circuit is complicated and the cost is high. In this embodiment, the control circuit 2 is configured as the first control circuit 2 and the second control circuit 2, and the first switch 22 on the first control circuit 2 and the second switch 25 on the second control circuit 2 are used to regulate the first control circuit 2 and the second control circuit 2, so that the overall circuit is simple, and the switching is convenient and the cost is low. Specifically, when the battery modules 100 are in the parallel state, the first switch 22 on the first control line 2 is closed so that two first connection points 12 are connected through the first connection main line 21, and the first connection branch line 23 is led out of the first connection main line 21 to connect one electrode of the battery module 11, when a plurality of battery modules 100 in the parallel state are stacked in the same direction, the first connection main lines 21 on a plurality of battery modules 100 are connected, and at this time, the first connection branch line 23 on each battery module 100 is connected in parallel; correspondingly, the second switch 25 on the second control line 2 is also in a closed state, so that the two second connection points 13 are communicated through the second connection main line 24, and the second connection branch line 26 is led out from the second connection main line 24 to connect with another electrode of the battery module 11, when the plurality of battery modules 100 in the parallel state are stacked in the same direction, the second connection main lines 24 on the plurality of battery modules 100 are communicated, and at this time, the second connection branch line 26 on each battery module 100 is connected in parallel. In this way, in combination with the parallel connection state of the first connection branch 23 and the second connection branch 26, a plurality of battery modules 100 are connected in parallel, so as to meet the parallel connection requirement of a plurality of battery modules 100 in the battery pack 1000. When the battery modules 100 are in the series state, the first switch 22 on the first control line 2 is turned off so that the first connection point 12 at one end of the main body 1 communicates with one electrode of the battery module 11 through the first connection branch line 23; at the same time, the second switch 25 on the second control line 2 is turned off, and the second connection point 13 at the other end of the main body 1 is connected to the other electrode of the battery module 11 through the second connection branch line 26. In this way, a serial connection line from the first electrical connection point 12 at one end of the main body 1 to the battery module 11 to the second electrical connection point 13 at the other end of the main body 1 is realized on a single battery module 100, and when a plurality of battery modules 100 are stacked in different directions, the first electrical connection point 12 on one battery module 100 is communicated with the second electrical connection point 13 on another battery module 100, so that a serial connection line from the first electrical connection point 12 at one end of one battery module 100 to the second electrical connection point 13 at the other end of the battery module 11 to the other end of the battery module 11 and then to the first electrical connection point 12 at one end of the other battery module 100 to the second electrical connection point 13 at the other end of the battery module 11 is realized, so that the serial connection of the battery modules 11 on two battery modules 100 can be performed, and the serial connection of a plurality of battery modules 100 can be further realized, thereby meeting the requirements of the battery modules 100 in the battery pack 1000.
Further, a control device is disposed on the control circuit 2, and the control device is used for synchronously controlling the first switch 22 and the second switch 25 to be opened and closed. The control circuit 2 mainly needs to control the opening and closing of the first switch 22 and the second switch 25, and it can be understood that setting the first switch 22 and the second switch 25 to be independently controlled can also realize the required functions, but multiple operation steps are required, and there are missing switches, forgetting to switch, which affects the normal stacking of the battery modules 100, and even has the problem of electrical safety. In this embodiment, the control device is disposed on the control circuit 2, and the control device and the first switch 22 and the second switch 25 may be mechanical devices, and the first switch 22 and the second switch 25 may be opened and closed simultaneously by mechanical activity, or may be electric control devices, and the first switch 22 and the second switch 25 may be opened and closed simultaneously by a telecommunication signal, so that the present embodiment is not limited herein, and the use requirement may be satisfied, and the first switch 22 and the second switch 25 may be synchronously controlled by the control device, so that the operation steps are reduced, and the situation of a falling switch does not exist, so that the present embodiment has strong operational convenience and reliability, and is more practical.
Specifically, the control means comprise a knob 29 arranged outside the body 1. In this embodiment, the control device mainly adopts a telecommunication connection mode to control the first switch 22 and the second switch 25, so that the specific operation mode of the control device is not limited, and two signals can be given. Based on this, in this embodiment, a specific operation manner of the control device is further provided, that is, the shift is switched by rotating the knob 29 disposed outside the main body 1, so that the parallel state and the series state of the battery module 100 are switched, which is convenient to use and clear to operate.
In addition, two third electrical points 14 located between the first electrical point 12 and the second electrical point 13 are further disposed at two ends of the main body 1, and the control circuit 2 includes a third connection main line 27 that communicates with the two third electrical points 14, where when the plurality of battery modules 11 are stacked in the same direction or stacked in different directions, two corresponding third electrical points 14 on two adjacent battery modules 11 are communicated. It should be understood that, based on the above description, when a plurality of the battery modules 100 are stacked in parallel, both the first electrical connection points 12 and the second electrical connection points 13 at two ends of the battery pack 1000 are in a communication state, so the manner of taking the electrical connection is not limited, that is, the first electrical connection points 12 and the second electrical connection points 13 are respectively connected at the same end of the battery pack 1000, or the first electrical connection points 12 are connected at one end of the battery pack 1000, and the second electrical connection points 13 are connected at the other end of the battery pack 1000, which is mainly the structure and the use requirement of the actual battery pack 1000. However, when a plurality of battery modules 100 are stacked in series, only the first electrical connection point 12 at one end of the battery pack 1000 and the second electrical connection point 13 at the other end of the battery pack can be connected to power, which cannot meet the power requirement at the same side, so in this embodiment, only an additional connection wire is connected between the first electrical connection point 12 and the second electrical connection point 13, and the third connection main line 27 is further connected between the two third electrical connection points 14 at the two ends of the main body 1, so when a plurality of battery modules 100 are stacked in series, the third electrical connection points 14 on the plurality of battery modules 100 are sequentially connected, so that two third electrical connection points 14 at the two ends of the battery pack 1000 are connected, and at this time, only an additional connection wire is required between the third electrical connection point 14 and the first electrical connection point 12 or the second electrical connection point 13 that are in operation, and the first electrical connection point 12 at one end of the battery pack 1000 and the second electrical connection point 13 are in the same state or different from each other as the second electrical connection point 13. On the basis of the above, it can be understood that the third connection point 14 and the third connection main line 27 are only required to be used when the plurality of battery modules 100 are stacked in different directions and connected in series, so in this embodiment, based on the above control of the first switch 22 and the second switch 25 by the control device, the third connection main line 27 is further provided with the third switch 28, so that when the control device controls the first switch 22 and the second switch 25 to be disconnected, the third switch 28 is controlled to be connected, and otherwise, when the control device controls the first switch 22 and the second switch 25 to be connected, the third switch 28 is controlled to be disconnected, so as to meet the use requirement.
In addition, the control circuit 2 is disposed in the middle of the main body 1, and the first electrical connection point 12 and the second electrical connection point 13 are disposed on two sides of the middle of the main body 1, so as to divide the battery module 11 into a first module 111 and a second module 112 connected by a connecting wire 113, so that when the battery modules 100 are stacked in the same direction or stacked in different directions, the middle of the main body 1 is disposed oppositely. In order to ensure the dimensional suitability of the plurality of battery modules 100 when stacked in the same direction and stacked in different directions, in this embodiment, the control circuit 2, the first electrical connection point 12, and the second electrical connection point 13 are disposed in the middle of the main body 1, and the first electrical connection point 12 and the second electrical connection point 13 are symmetrical with respect to the center line of the main body 1, so that the center lines of the plurality of main bodies 1 are located on the same center line when stacked in the same direction and stacked in different directions, thereby ensuring the symmetry. On this basis, since the third contact 14 can be paired when stacked in the same direction and stacked in different directions, the third contact 14 is disposed on the center line of the main body 1 in this embodiment.

The fool-proof structure 3 may be arranged in a plurality of ways, so that the fool-proof function of the fool-proof structure 3 may be achieved, which is not limited herein, in this embodiment, the fool-proof structure 3 is arranged as the plug 31, the plug hole 32 and the blocking structure 33, the depth of the plug hole 32 is enough for the plug 31 to be completely inserted, when the blocking structure 33 extends into the plug hole 32, the plug 31 cannot be completely inserted into the plug hole 32, according to this principle, the two plug holes 32 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the center line of the main body 1, the plug 31 is arranged corresponding to one plug hole 32, and by controlling one of the two blocking structures 33 in the two plug holes 32 to extend into the corresponding plug hole 32, the plug 31 cannot be completely inserted into the plug hole 32 in a stacking way of two battery modules 100 in one direction, and the plug 31 cannot be completely inserted into the plug hole 32 in a stacking way of the other direction, so that the two adjacent battery modules 100 can be completely stacked, and the fool-proof structure 100 can be fully inserted into the plug hole 32. On this basis, the specific setting of the fool-proof structure 3 is actually related to the parallel state and the serial state of the battery module 100, and based on the condition that the first switch 22, the second switch 25 and the second switch 25 are controlled to be opened and closed by the control device, and the control of the two blocking structures 33 is related to the control device under the condition that the use requirement is met, so that when the serial state and the parallel state of the battery module 100 are controlled and changed by the control device, the fool-proof state of the fool-proof structure 3 is synchronously changed without manual adjustment one by one, and after the connection, missing adjustment or wrong adjustment can be avoided, and the use reliability is improved.
Further, the first and second power connection points 12 and 13 at one end of the main body 1 are provided as plugs, and the first and second power connection points 12 and 13 at the other end of the main body 1 are provided as sockets, and the plugs on one battery module 100 are inserted into the sockets on the other battery module 100 to be electrically connected.
