Although the existing power battery explosion-proof valve is provided with a crack, the crack is easy to cause the explosion-proof valve to form splash fragments due to strong impact in the process of explosion, and damage is caused to other parts.
In view of this, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide an explosion-proof valve, a power battery cover plate device, and a power battery, which can protect the explosion-proof valve from being normally opened when the internal pressure of the power battery is too high, and prevent the explosion-proof valve from forming a splash fragment separated from the power battery when being opened, so as to avoid damage to other components due to impact of the splash fragment, and improve the safety of the power battery.
Technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to fig. 1 to 4.
Example one
The embodiment of the specification provides a power battery explosion-proof valve 1, which comprises an installation part 5 and an explosion-proof valve plate 3, wherein nicks 2 and reinforcing ribs 4 are arranged on the explosion-proof valve plate 3.
The mounting part 5 is used for matching with an explosion-proof valve hole of a top cover plate of the power battery and is mounted on the lower surface of the top cover plate.
The nick 2 is runway type, can set up at the edge periphery of the explosion-proof valve block 3 that is close to the inboard direction of installation department 5 for when explosion-proof valve 1 receives predetermined opening pressure, can split along nick 2.
It should be noted that the notch 2 is a notch 2 that is arranged to enable the explosion-proof valve plate 3 to normally rupture under the action of a preset opening pressure, so that the notch 2 may be arranged according to the opening requirement of the power battery, for example, the parameters such as the depth and the width of the notch may be specifically determined by the actual requirement of the power battery, and this is not limited here.
The strengthening rib 4 is the arc, can set up on explosion-proof valve block 3, for example the symmetry sets up twice arc, and under the opening pressure effect, strengthening rib 4 is as the region of strengthening on the explosion-proof valve block 3 like this for explosion-proof valve block 3 does not burst along the middle part, but opens and bursts in order from the edge along nick 2.
Through set up nick 2 that is used for bursting and the strengthening rib 4 that is used for preventing to form the piece that splashes on explosion-proof valve block 3, can change explosion-proof valve block 3's stress distribution, make explosion-proof valve 1 receive under the predetermined opening pressure effect, explosion-proof valve block 3 can be along nick 2 and burst in order, avoid explosion-proof valve block 3 to form a plurality of pieces that splash and cause the impact damage to power battery peripheral equipment under power battery's internal pressure impact, the security in the power battery use has been improved.
In some embodiments, the reinforcing rib 4 may be in a notch shape, and the stress distribution in the middle of the explosion-proof sheet 3 may be changed by the notch shape, so as to form a reinforced area of the explosion-proof valve sheet 3 in the middle, so that the whole explosion-proof valve sheet 3 is firstly burst along the notch 2 under the action of the opening pressure, rather than from the middle of the explosion-proof sheet 3, and the surface explosion-proof valve sheet 3 forms splash fragments in the burst.
In some embodiments, the score 2 can be provided as a different purpose and type of score to achieve a more orderly burst and flip up under the opening pressure.
In implementation, the nick 2 may include a turning nick 21 and an opening nick 22, and the depth of the turning nick 21 is less than that of the opening nick 22, at this time, the strength of the turning nick 21 is stronger than that of the opening nick 22, and the opening nick 22 is slightly weaker, so when a large amount of gas is generated inside the power battery to form opening pressure, the opening nick 22 is firstly torn and opened, the opening sensitivity of the explosion-proof valve 1 is ensured, then the explosion-proof valve plate 3 is integrally turned up along the turning nick 21 under the internal pressure of the power battery, so that the gas inside the power battery is rapidly released, and finally, along with the gas release and the gas pressure reduction, the whole splashing of the explosion-proof valve plate 3 is prevented.
In the implementation, the upset nick 21 can set up in the long limit middle part of explosion-proof valve block 3, and the explosion-proof valve block 3 of being convenient for overturns along long limit one side for explosion-proof valve block 3 bursts along opening nick 22 rapidly under the opening pressure effect, and turns up along upset nick 21 completely.

In some embodiments, the opening notch 22 may be located in the lower surface of the explosion-proof valve plate 3, so as to change the stress distribution of the lower surface of the explosion-proof valve plate 3, so that the explosion-proof valve plate 3 can rapidly crack along the opening notch 22 under the opening pressure, and the explosion-proof valve 1 can be ensured to crack under the preset opening pressure.
In some embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the opening score 22 may be set according to actual needs, and preferably, the cross-sectional shape may include any one of the following shapes: triangular, rectangular, trapezoidal, arc.
For example, as shown in fig. 2, the cross section of the opening notch 22 is configured to be a trapezoid, and the trapezoid-shaped opening notch 22 can cause the explosion-proof valve sheet 3 to burst rapidly under the opening pressure.
By optimizing the cross-sectional shape of the nicks, the production and the manufacturing are convenient, the production and the manufacturing efficiency are improved, and the use safety performance of the power battery can be improved.
In some embodiments, the upper surface and the lower surface of the explosion-proof valve plate 3 are provided with turnover scores.
As shown in fig. 2, the reversed scores 21 may include a first surface score and a second surface score, the first surface score is located in the upper surface of the explosion-proof valve plate 3, and the second surface score is located in the lower surface of the explosion-proof valve plate 3. First surface nick and second surface nick are favorable to reducing the resistance of explosion-proof valve block 3 when the upset, help explosion-proof valve block 3 receiving the deformation of power battery internal pressure effect time. Also, the second surface score increases the surface area of the second surface score, increases the toughness of the second surface score, and protects the inversion score 21 from bursting or deforming due to excessive force.
In some embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the inverted score 21 (such as the first surface score and/or the second surface score) may be set according to actual needs, and preferably, the cross-sectional shape may include any one of the following shapes: triangular, rectangular, trapezoidal, arc.
For example, as shown in fig. 2, the cross section of the first surface score is configured as an arc (such as a circular arc), the cross section of the second surface score is configured as a trapezoid, under the action of the opening pressure, the first surface score reduces the overturning resistance, and the second surface score increases the toughness, so that the explosion-proof valve plate 3 is rapidly burst and completely overturned, but the formation of splashes is avoided.
Through the preferred cross-sectional shape of nick, both made things convenient for manufacturing, improved manufacturing efficiency, can improve power battery safety in utilization performance again.
In some embodiments, the indentation depth of the first surface indentation of the turnover indentation 21 can be set to be not more than 0.03mm according to the production and manufacturing requirements of an actual power battery, so that the indentation depth of the first surface is proper, the production and manufacturing are convenient, and the deformation of the explosion-proof valve plate 3 under the internal pressure of the power battery is facilitated.
In some embodiments, the notch depth of the second surface notch of the inverted notch 21 may be set to be 0.01-0.03mm according to the production and manufacturing requirements of an actual power battery, so that the depth of the second surface notch is appropriate, the production and manufacturing are convenient, the toughness of the second surface notch is improved, and the inverted notch 21 is protected from bursting or deforming due to excessive stress.
In some embodiments, the mounting portion 5 and the explosion-proof valve plate 3 are integrally formed. Through one-time machining forming, the depths of the opening nicks 22 and the overturning nicks 21 can be guaranteed, errors in the machining process are reduced, installation and production are facilitated, and the production efficiency of the explosion-proof valve 1 is improved.
In some embodiments, the reinforcing ribs 4 include a first reinforcing rib and a second reinforcing rib, and the opening direction of the first reinforcing rib and the opening direction of the second reinforcing rib face to two opposite sides of the explosion-proof valve plate 3.
For example, as shown in fig. 1, the opening direction of each of the first reinforcing rib (e.g., an arc shape with an upward opening in the figure) and the second reinforcing rib (e.g., an arc shape with a downward opening in the figure) faces one side of the long side direction and is tangent to the center of the explosion-proof valve plate 3.
For example, as shown in fig. 3, the opening direction of each of the first reinforcing rib (e.g., an arc shape with an opening facing upward in the drawing) and the second reinforcing rib (e.g., an arc shape with an opening facing downward in the drawing) faces one side of the long side direction, and an intersecting region is formed at the middle position of the explosion-proof valve sheet 3.
For example, as shown in fig. 4, the first reinforcing rib (e.g., an arc shape with an opening facing to the left in the drawing) and the second reinforcing rib (e.g., an arc shape with an opening facing to the right in the drawing) each open toward one side in the short side direction, and an intersecting region is formed at the middle position of the explosion-proof valve sheet 3.
It should be noted that whether the first reinforcing rib and the second reinforcing rib are tangent, intersected, and the like on the explosion-proof valve plate 3, and the tangent position, the intersected position, and the like can be determined according to the actual design requirement of the explosion-proof valve 1, and are not limited herein.
