Battery module with cross-circuit board connecting sheet
Technical Field
The utility model relates to a square battery's battery module assembly.
Background
Patent document CN 110931694 a discloses a battery module with an electrode output on the same side. The battery module output by the same side electrode requires an odd number of square batteries arranged in sequence. In the actual production of the battery module of the power battery pack, the size of the battery module is limited by the size of the battery box of the power battery pack, and the size of the battery module needs to be referred to the size of the battery box of the power battery pack. And the size of the battery is limited by the battery manufacturer. Therefore, in actual assembly, it is difficult for the size of the battery module to just accommodate an odd number of batteries. Generally, the battery module needs to be plugged into the battery as much as possible based on the energy density of the power battery pack. Under a certain size of the power battery pack battery box, the size of the corresponding battery module may accommodate an even number of batteries. When the battery module includes an even number of batteries, the same-side electrode output is realized by referring to the battery series connection scheme disclosed in patent document CN 110931694 a, and the bus bar inevitably crosses the central axis. And the central axis is the location where the circuit board is mounted. The circuit board is generally a flexible circuit board and is used for collecting the temperature and the voltage of each battery of the battery module. That is, in this case, the bus bars need to cross and overlap the circuit board. Obviously, at this time, an insulation space is required between the bus bar and the circuit board. However, if the bus bar and the circuit board are isolated from each other by adopting common materials, the problem of abrasion caused by relative movement of the bus bar and the circuit board exists.

As shown in fig. 1, 2 and 3, a battery module with a cross-circuit-board connecting sheet includes a plurality of batteries 1 and an electrical component accommodated in a module accommodating cavity. The electrical component includes an output electrode connecting piece, a cross-circuit board connecting piece 31, a second connecting piece 32, and a circuit board 41. The battery 1 is a prismatic battery with battery posts 11 of both electrodes on its top surface. There are an even number of cells 1. The even number of batteries 1 are arranged along the central axis X and are closely attached to each other with the central axis X as the center, and the battery poles 11 of the two electrodes are respectively positioned at two sides of the central axis X. The batteries 1 are connected in series through a cross circuit board connecting sheet 31 and a second connecting sheet 32 to form a battery pack, and the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the battery pack formed by the series connection are respectively connected with two output electrode connecting sheets and are connected with the output electrode of the battery module through the output electrode connecting sheets.
Specifically, referring to fig. 3, even number of cells 1, the number of cells 1 may be 2N. Along the direction of the central axis X, the positive pole 11 of the 2i + 1 th battery 1 and the positive pole 11 of the 2i + 2 nd battery 1 are positioned on the same side of the central axis X, wherein i is more than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to N-1; the battery post 11 of the positive electrode of the 2i + 2 th battery 1 and the negative electrode of the 2i + 3 th battery 1 are positioned on the same side of the central axis X, wherein i is more than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to N-2. That is, every two adjacent batteries are in one group, the positive and negative electrodes of the batteries 1 in the same group are positioned on the same side of the central axis X, and the positive and negative electrodes of the batteries 1 in the adjacent groups are respectively positioned on the opposite sides of the central axis X. Along the axis X direction, the 1 st battery 1 positive pole's battery utmost point post 11 and the 2 nd battery 1 negative pole's battery utmost point post 11 connect the output connection piece respectively. Specifically, the output electrode connection pieces include a positive output electrode connection piece 21 and a negative output electrode connection piece 22. Along the axis X direction, the 1 st battery 1 positive electrode battery post 11 is connected with the positive electrode of the output electrode of the battery module through the positive output electrode connecting sheet 21, and the 2 nd battery 1 negative electrode battery post 11 is connected with the negative electrode of the output electrode of the battery module through the negative output electrode connecting sheet 22. The series connection between the battery 1 and the battery 1 is as follows: along the direction of the central axis X, the battery post 11 of the positive pole of the 2i + 2 th battery 1 is connected in series with the battery post 11 of the negative pole of the 2i + 4 th battery 1 through a second connecting sheet 32, wherein i is more than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to N-1; the battery post 11 of the negative electrode of the 2i + 1 th battery 1 is connected in series with the battery post 11 of the positive electrode of the 2i + 3 th battery 1 through a second connecting sheet 32, wherein i is more than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to N-1; the battery post 11 of the negative electrode of the 2N-1 battery 1 is connected in series with the battery post 11 of the positive electrode of the 2N battery 1 through a cross circuit board connecting sheet 31.
Obviously, since the battery post 11 of the negative electrode of the 2N-1 th battery 1 and the battery post 11 of the positive electrode of the 2N-1 th battery 1 are respectively located on both sides of the central axis X, the cross-circuit-board connecting sheet 31 necessarily needs to cross the central axis X.
The circuit board 41 is a flexible circuit board, i.e., an FPC, for collecting the temperature and voltage of each battery 1 of the battery module. The circuit board 41 is in a long strip shape, is disposed on the top surface of the battery 1 along the central axis X direction, and spans each battery 1, so that the two battery posts 11 of each battery 1 are respectively located on two sides of the circuit board 41. The second connecting pieces 32 are located on one side of the circuit board 41, that is, each second connecting piece 32 is located on both sides of the circuit board 41; the cross-board connector 31 then crosses the circuit board 41. The foam gasket 5 is arranged at the intersection of the circuit board 41 and the cross-circuit board connecting sheet 31, and the foam gasket 5 is used for realizing the insulation and separation between the circuit board 41 and the cross-circuit board connecting sheet 31. The foam pad 5 is a sheet made of foam.
Referring to fig. 4, in the present embodiment, the foam pad 5 is a square sheet with a thickness of 0.2 to 2.0 mm.

The dimension of the foam pad 5 is larger than the width of the vertical part 311 of the cross circuit board connecting sheet 31, so that the edge of the foam pad 5 protrudes out of the edge of the vertical part 311 of the cross circuit board connecting sheet 31; the foam pad 5 is sized larger than the width of the circuit board 41 such that the edge of the foam pad 5 protrudes beyond the edge of the circuit board 41. Wherein, the width D1 of the edge of the foam pad 5 protruding from the edge of the vertical part 311 of the cross circuit board connecting sheet 31 is not less than 0.2 mm. The width D2 of the edge of the foam pad 5 protruding out of the edge of the circuit board 41 is not less than 0.2 mm.
