Background

The current approach to isolating thermal runaway batteries mainly includes:
1. When a certain battery in the parallel circuit is in thermal runaway, a normal battery connected in parallel with the battery can flow back current to the thermal runaway battery through the parallel circuit, and the suddenly increased parallel current can fuse the overcurrent fusing device electrically connected with the thermal runaway battery, so that the thermal runaway battery is electrically isolated in the parallel circuit;
2. and when the thermal runaway battery is overheated due to superposition of external series current by internal short-circuit current, heat can be fused by the series bus to be electrically connected with the thermal runaway battery over-temperature fusing device, so that the thermal runaway battery is electrically isolated in a parallel-series circuit.
To realize complete electrical isolation of the thermal runaway battery in the series-parallel array, namely, form a 'thermal runaway battery island', the acceleration influence of the parallel circuit/series circuit on the thermal runaway process of the thermal runaway battery is blocked, and two different fusing devices are required to be simultaneously connected, so that more connecting assemblies and complicated connecting processes are caused, and the two fusing devices are combined into one comprehensive fusing device in the industry, and two functions can be simultaneously realized; in order to ensure that the temperature fusing device only plays a role in protecting the overheat fusing after being connected into the serial circuit and the battery in the serial circuit works normally, the early failure of the fusing device caused by external temperature factors is avoided, and the temperature fusing device is also a technical problem which needs to be solved in the industry.

In some preferred embodiments, as shown in fig. 5, the composite fused electrical connection structure further includes a cleaning block 4; the cleaning block 4 is arranged in the second channel 13; the cleaning block 4 has elasticity and can elastically abut against the inner wall of the second channel 13 and seal the second channel 13; when the first fusing structure 21 is in a molten state, the cleaning block 4 can move in the second passage 13 and the fusing passage 111 under the pressure difference between both ends, or move in the second passage 13, the fusing passage 111 and the first passage 12 under the pressure difference to push the molten first fusing structure 21 into the accommodating chamber 14. Based on the arrangement of the cleaning block 4, the cleaning block 4 has a relatively fixed shape, no channeling problem occurs, and the melted first fusing structure 21 can be pushed into the accommodating cavity 14, so that electrical isolation failure or incomplete electrical isolation of the first conductor 22 and the second conductor 23 caused by the fact that the first fusing structure 21 in a molten state remains in the fusing channel 111 is avoided; and the first fusing structure 21 in a molten state is prevented from being contacted with the outside air based on the arrangement of the cleaning block 4, so that the first fusing structure 21 in the molten state is prevented from being cooled by the outside air and being solidified again to prevent the cleaning block 4 from moving normally, the first fusing structure 21 in the molten state is further ensured to be pushed to the accommodating cavity 14, and the problem that electrical isolation between the first conductor 22 and the second conductor 23 is invalid or incomplete is avoided.
Preferably, the cleaning block 4 is made of insulating material for maintaining the temperature of the end portion in the second channel 13, so as to keep the heat dissipated outwards through the cleaning block 4 smaller than the heat dissipated outwards in other parts of the second channel 13.
Preferably, the cleaning block 4 is sandwiched between the safety valve 311 and the first fusing structure 21, and the cleaning block 4 is made of an insulating material; based on the cleaning block 4 being filled between the safety valve 311 and the first fusing structure 21, the volume of the space between the safety valve 311 and the first fusing structure 21 is reduced, and the molten first fusing structure 21 is prevented from flowing into the accommodating chamber 14 when the safety valve 311 is not opened. Further preferably, the safety valve 311 and the first fusing structure 21 clamp the cleaning block 4; the pressure in the space between the relief valve 311 and the first fusing structure 21 is equal to the pressure in the accommodating chamber 14, and both are vacuum.
Preferably, the cleaning block 4 has a compressed state and a free state; the cleaning block 4 is in a compressed state in the fusing channel 111, the second channel 13 and the first channel 12 and in a free state in the receiving chamber 14, so that the cleaning block 4 expands to close the channel opening of the first channel 12 after entering the receiving chamber 14. Firstly, the cleaning block 4 is in a compressed state in the fusing channel 111, the second channel 13 and the first channel 12, so that on one hand, the pressure difference of two sides is ensured, and on the other hand, the thorough pushing of the fused first fusing structure 21 is ensured; and expands to a free state in the accommodating chamber 14, the first fusing structure 21 flowing into the accommodating chamber 14 can be prevented from flowing back into the fusing channel 111 again, and the cutting effect on the electrical connection between the first conductor 22 and the second conductor 23 is ensured.
Preferably, the cleaning block 4 is less forced to switch from the free state to the compressed state, i.e. is more deformable, such as a foam material.
Specifically, when the second end of the second channel 13 communicates with the outside, the safety valve 311 closes the through-opening 131 of the second end, the cleaning block 4 is disposed in the safety valve 311; when the relief valve 311 is provided between the first end and the second end of the second passage 13, the cleaning block 4 may be alternatively provided inside or outside the relief valve 311.
In some preferred embodiments, a smooth transition between the second channel 13 and the fusing channel 111, or between the second channel 13, the fusing channel 111, and the first channel 12, reduces resistance to movement of the cleaning block 4; specifically, an arc-shaped transition structure is formed between the second channel 13 and the fusing channel 111, or between the second channel 13, the fusing channel 111 and the first channel 12.
Preferably, the second channel 13, the fusing channel 111 and the first channel 12 have the same cross-sectional area, and form a continuous channel; or the sectional areas of the second channel 13, the fusing channel 111 and the first channel 12 are sequentially increased, and the connection part is smoothly transited, so that the resistance of the cleaning block 4 at the connection part of the channels is reduced, and the cleaning block can smoothly pass through.
In some preferred embodiments, as shown in fig. 3, the second fusing structure 31 and the parallel conductors 32 are each an elongated sheet-like structure, and the second fusing structure 31 includes a connection section 312 and a fusing section 313 having a smaller width than the connection section 312; the fuse section 313 includes a relief valve 311; the shunt conductor 32 is the same width as the connecting section 312. The second fusing structure 31 and the parallel conductor 32 are made of copper, aluminum, nickel, silver, gold, etc.; the portion of the fusing section 313 closing the second passage 13 forms a relief valve 311; because the width of the fusing segment 313 is smaller than the connecting segment 312, the fusing segment 313 is more prone to over-current melting than the connecting segment 312; the fusing section 313 melts the second channel 13 to be opened and based on the parallel conductor 32 and the connection section 312 being wider than the fusing section 313, the fusing section 313 fuses more easily than the parallel conductor 32 and the connection section 312.
Preferably, the connection sections 312 and the fusing sections 313 are plural in number, and the connection sections 312 and the fusing sections 313 are alternately arranged.
In some preferred embodiments, the connection segment 312 and/or the shunt conductor 32 can be folded in a width direction, such as by 2-3 layers, to reduce its occupied width, and by the folded arrangement, the width of the shunt conductor 32 is increased to increase its current carrying capacity to prevent it from being blown.
In some preferred embodiments, as shown in fig. 2 and 4, the second fusing structure 31 is located within the insulating body 1; based on the second fusing structure 31 being provided in the insulative housing 1, the portion located in the insulative housing 1 is not in contact with the air, and the portion forming the safety valve 311 is exposed to the air, such as the second passage 13 being directly connected to the atmosphere, or the second passage 13 having the air or oxygen therein; when the overcurrent is fused, oxygen in the air can support combustion based on the contact of the safety valve 311 with the air, so that the safety valve 311 is promoted to be partially fused, the safety valve 311 is ensured to be fused first, and the second channel 13 is opened.
In some preferred embodiments, the parallel conductors 32 are located within the insulating body 1, and both ends extend out of the insulating body 1 to electrically connect the cells in parallel; a part of the parallel conductor 32 is provided in the insulating body 1 to increase the structural integrity.
Preferably, the extending direction of the parallel conductors 32 and the extending direction of the first conductors 22 or the second conductors 23 are in a cross shape or a cross shape; the first conductor 22 and the second conductor 23 extend in the same direction.
In some preferred embodiments, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, a communication port is formed between the first channel 12 and the fusing channel 111, and the communication port is located on the top surface of the fusing channel 111; to ensure that the melted first fusing structure 21 does not easily enter the first passage 12 without a pressure difference between both ends.
In some preferred embodiments, as shown in fig. 5 and 6, the inner wall of the first channel 12 is provided with a heat conductor 5, such as a metal conductor; the heat conductor 5 and the first fusing structure 21 can conduct heat, for example, the end part of the heat conductor 5 is in direct contact with the first fusing structure 21; the melting point of the heat conductor 5 is greater than the melting point of the first fuse structure 21. Under the condition of external vibration, the melted first fusing structure 21 is splashed onto the inner wall of the first channel 12 and then solidifies and adheres to the inner wall of the first channel 12, at this time, the flow resistance is increased, and based on the heat conductor 5 arranged on the inner wall of the first channel 12, the heat conduction between the heat conductor and the first fusing structure 21 can be performed quickly, and the temperature of the heat conductor is approximately consistent with that of the first fusing structure 21, so that the melted first fusing structure 21 ejected onto the inner wall of the first channel 12 due to splashing can be ensured, and the heat conductor can fall back to the fusing channel 111 in a melted state, so that the flow resistance can be reduced.
Preferably, the heat conductor 5 comprises an arch-shaped structure having a certain height along the extension of the first channel 12; i.e. the heat conductor 5 is arranged along the surface of the first channel 12, the specific height can be determined according to the actual requirements; more preferably, the heat conductor 5 is a cylindrical structure attached to the surface of the first channel 12 and having an opening at the top and bottom, and at this time, the inner walls close to the first fusing structure 21 are covered by the heat conductor 5, so that the first fusing structure 21 can be prevented from splashing and solidifying on the inner walls of the first channel 12 to the greatest extent, and the flow is affected; more preferably, the heat conductor 5 is embedded in the first channel 12, and the surface of the heat conductor 5 is flush with the inner wall of the first channel 12.
In some preferred embodiments, as shown in fig. 7, the communication port of the first passage 12 communicating with the fusing passage 111 is located at the top surface of the fusing passage 111; the first channel 12 is inverted U-shaped; the accommodating chamber 14 is located below the fusing channel 111, and the size of the accommodating chamber 14 is larger than that of the fusing channel 111. Based on the communication port being provided on the top surface of the fusing channel 111, the melted first fusing structure 21 is not easy to enter the first channel 12 under the condition that the pressure difference between the two ends is zero; when the battery pack works, vibration exists, the melted first fusing structure 21 can splash due to vibration, a communication port is arranged on the top surface of the fusing channel 111, the accommodating cavity 14 is arranged below the fusing channel 111, the first channel 12 is arranged in a reversed U shape, so that the highest top surface of the first fusing structure 21 entering the accommodating cavity 14 after entering the accommodating cavity 14 is far away from the top of the reversed U shape, and the melted first fusing structure 21 is not easy to rebound back into the fusing channel 111; due to the larger volume of the receiving cavity 14, which has a lower temperature than the fusing channel 111 and/or the first channel 12, the solidification of the easily melted first fusing structure 21 and/or the third fusing structure 6 is restricted and the interior of the receiving cavity 14 is restricted.
In some preferred embodiments, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the first fusing structure 21 is configured to fill the fusing channel 111; the first fusing structure 21 is preferably in the shape of an elongated bar.
In some preferred embodiments, as shown in fig. 7, the second channel 13 is filled with a third fusing structure 6; the third fusing structure 6 is disposed between the safety valve 311 and the first fusing structure 21, the third fusing structure 6 in a non-molten state seals the second passage 13, and an end of the third fusing structure 6 can conduct heat with the first fusing structure 21, such as directly contact with the first fusing structure 21 for conducting heat; the third fusing structure 6 has a higher melting point than the first fusing structure 21 to ensure that the third fusing structure 6 reaches the melting point after the first fusing structure 21 is partially or completely melted. When the external ambient temperature increases, normal operation of the first fusing structure 21 is affected, for example, the external ambient temperature is higher than the melting temperature of the first fusing structure 21, so that undesired melting occurs and the electrical connection state of the external conductor is cut off. Such occurrence can be avoided by providing the third fusing structure 6 having a higher melting point than the first fusing structure 21, making it less meltable; and the third fusing structure 6 closes the second channel 13, so that even if the first fusing structure 21 is melted, the melted first fusing structure 21 does not flow into the accommodating cavity 14 because the melting temperature of the third fusing structure 6 is not reached, and the electric conduction state of the first fusing structure 21 to the first conductor 22 and the second conductor 23 is maintained, so that the first fusing structure 21 can be pushed into the accommodating cavity 14 only after the third fusing structure 6 is melted, and the influence of the external environment on the first fusing structure 21 is reduced.
Preferably, the contact area of the third fuse structure 6 with the first fuse structure 21 is smaller than the contact area of the first fuse structure 21 with the first conductor 22 and the second conductor 23. That is, the heat transfer area of the third fusing structure 6 and the heat transfer area of the first fusing structure 21 are smaller than the heat transfer area of the first fusing structure 21 and the heat transfer areas of the first conductor 22 and the second conductor 23, so that the third fusing structure 6 is ensured not to melt before the first fusing structure 21.

The present embodiment provides a battery pack employing the composite fuse-de-coupling structure of embodiment 1 described above.
As shown in fig. 8 and 9, wherein fig. 8 is a battery pack composed of cylindrical batteries, and fig. 9 is a battery pack composed of prismatic batteries; the battery pack includes a plurality of unit cells B, and the composite fuse electrical connection structure a of the above embodiment 1 forms a series-parallel battery pack between the plurality of unit cells B. The unit cell B may be a cylindrical cell or a prismatic cell.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 8, the battery pack includes a plurality of unit cells B, a plurality of composite fuse-break connection structures a in embodiment 1, a first bus bar C, and a second bus bar D;
each single battery B comprises a first pole and a second pole; the plurality of single batteries B are arranged in an array to form a battery pack comprising a plurality of battery rows;
The first pole and the second pole of the adjacent single batteries B between the battery rows are electrically connected in series through an A first conductor 22 and a second conductor 23 of the composite fusing electric connection structure;
the adjacent single batteries B in the battery row are electrically connected in parallel through the parallel conductors 32 of the adjacent composite fusing electrical connection structure A;
The first pole of the single battery B in the first battery row is electrically connected with the second pole of the adjacent single battery B in the adjacent battery row in series through the first conductor 22 and the second conductor 23 of the composite fusing electric connection structure A; the second poles of the single batteries B in the first battery row are electrically connected in parallel through a first busbar C and output; the first poles of the single cells B or the first conductors 22 or the second conductors 23 in the cell rows of the last row are electrically connected in parallel by the second bus bar D and output.
The following description will be made with reference to examples of how the composite fuse electrical connection structure a isolates a thermal runaway unit cell B when the thermal runaway unit cell B occurs in the battery pack of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 10, taking a battery array of 4-3 strings of 12 unit batteries B as an example, the serial numbers of the unit batteries B in the battery array are as follows:
C11、C21、C31、C41；
C12、C22、C32、C42；
C13、C23、C33、C43。
The top poles of C11, C21, C31 and C41 are connected in parallel through a first bus bar C, and the shell poles of C13, C23, C33 and C43 are connected in parallel through a second bus bar D; the top poles of C12, C22, C32, C42 and C13, C23, C33, C43 are electrically connected in parallel through the parallel conductors 32 of the second fusing unit 3 of the composite fusing electric connection structure A to form a parallel battery row; the top pole and the shell pole among C11, C12, C13, C21, C22, C23, C31, C32, C33, C41, C42 and C43 are electrically connected in series through the first conductor 22, the first fusing structure 21 and the second conductor 23 of the composite fusing electric connection structure A to form a series battery column, and a series-parallel battery pack is formed.
The maximum overcurrent of the second fusing structure 31 is I 1, the maximum overcurrent of the parallel conductor 32 is 3I 1, the maximum current of the series battery is I 2, and the through hole 131 is connected to the atmosphere, so that one side of the safety valve 311 is exposed to the atmosphere. The normal temperature of the single battery B is 25 ℃, and the temperature is gradually increased to be close to 100 ℃ after thermal runaway. The melting temperature of the first fusing structure 21 is set to 70 degrees.
Taking the example that the single battery B numbered as C32 is in thermal runaway (internal short circuit), the single battery B of C32 is in thermal runaway, and C12, C22 and C42 start to flow current back to C32 through the parallel conductor 32 and the second fusing structure 31 of the composite fusing and disconnecting structure A between C31 and C32; when the outflow current on the second fusing structure 31 of each single battery B exceeds 0.33I 1, the inflow current of C32 through the second fusing structure 31 exceeds I 1, the second fusing structure 31 of the composite fusing-off connection structure A between C31 and C32 is fused, the parallel conductor 32 does not exceed the maximum overcurrent current and remains intact, and the C12, C22 and C42 are still connected in parallel; c32 is electrically isolated by the parallel battery rows; triggering an alarm once;
Because the second fusing structure 31 of the composite fusing-off connection structure a between C31 and C32 is fused, the safety valve 311 is opened, and the first fusing structure 21 is directly connected to the atmospheric pressure through the second passage 13; under the combined action of internal short-circuit current and series current of a series battery column, the temperature of C32 continues to rise (I 2 R), when the temperature of a top pole and a shell pole of C32 reaches or exceeds 71 degrees, the temperature is respectively conducted to the first fusing structures 21 of two composite fusing electric connection structures A through the first conductors 22 of the composite fusing electric connection structure A between C31 and C32 and the second conductors 23 of the composite fusing electric connection structure A between C31 and C32, so that the first fusing structures 21 of the composite fusing electric connection structure A between C31 and C32A, C and C33 are fused, but only the safety valve 311 of the composite fusing electric connection structure A between C31 and C32 is opened, so that only the first fusing structure 21 of the composite fusing electric connection structure A between C31 and C32 is fused, and electrical isolation between C32 and C31 is realized; triggering a secondary alarm.
Because other batteries in the parallel battery row where the thermal runaway single battery B (C32) is located are cut off to the backward current of the single battery B (C32), the C31 and C32 batteries of the series battery row where the thermal runaway single battery B (C32) is located are bypassed, and the normal series current of the primary series battery passing through the C32 thermal runaway battery is cut off, the two acceleration factors mainly accelerating the thermal deterioration of the thermal runaway battery are removed, and once the alarm is removed, the thermal runaway battery enters the thermal growth under the action of only internal reasons, the speed is obviously slowed down, the risk of the whole thermal runaway of the battery pack caused by the overquick growth of the thermal runaway of the current single battery is avoided, and precious time is obtained for manual intervention in later period.
When I 1=I2, the second fusing structure 31 and the first fusing structure 21 of the composite fusing and disconnecting structure A between C31 and C32 are disconnected, the composite fusing and disconnecting structure A between C32 and C33 is intact; c32 and C12 are disconnected; the shell pole of C31 and the top pole of C32 are fused, the parallel battery rows where C12 and C11 are located are all 4-1=3, the other parallel battery rows are all 4, and the whole battery pack can continue to work.
When the number of parallel batteries of the parallel battery rows is large enough, the total capacity of M-1 batteries is very close to the total capacity of M batteries, and after a certain single battery B is subjected to thermal runaway and is formed into a battery island, the influence on the total voltage and the total capacity of the whole battery pack is very small, and the whole battery pack is self-adaptive to the occurrence of the thermal runaway single battery.
The embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, which are merely illustrative and not restrictive, and many forms may be made by those having ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention and the scope of the claims, which are to be protected by the present invention.
