Detailed Description
The present utility model will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific examples, which are not intended to be limiting, so that those skilled in the art will better understand the utility model and practice it.
Referring to fig. 1, the present utility model discloses a battery including: the battery pack comprises a shell 1, a bare cell 2 and a flexible bag 3, wherein the shell 1 is a square aluminum shell commonly used for preparing a battery, an opening is formed in one side of the shell 1, the flexible bag 3 is arranged in the shell 1, the flexible bag 3 is provided with a containing cavity, the bare cell 2 is arranged in the containing cavity, the size of the containing cavity is equal to that of the bare cell 2 or slightly larger than that of the bare cell 2, the bare cell 2 can be placed in the containing cavity, the bare cell 2 is covered by the flexible bag 3, the bare cell 2 is separated from the shell 1 through the flexible bag 3, the flexible bag 3 has a certain thickness and a certain elastic deformation performance, and the flexible bag 3 can be compressed and deformed after being pressed;
in the battery formation process, when the pole pieces in the bare cell 2 are expanded, the bare cell 2 is expanded to extrude the flexible bag 3, a certain reverse acting force is given to the bare cell 2 through the flexible bag 3, and gas generated during formation is prevented from gathering between pole piece interfaces, so that the interface of the bare cell 2 is improved, and the problem of poor formation interface of the hard shell battery of the silicon-carbon system due to low group domain degree design at present is solved;
in addition, as the flexible bag 3 can be compressed, in the process of increasing the expansion force of the bare cell 2, the flexible bag 3 is compressed to give a certain expansion space to the bare cell 2, so that the situation that the bare cell 2 fails due to overlarge expansion force is avoided;
in addition, the flexible bag 3 has an opening, the opening of the flexible bag 3 corresponds to the opening of the casing 1, the bare cell 2 is placed in the accommodating cavity of the flexible bag 3 from the opening of the flexible bag 3, after the bare cell 2 is placed in the accommodating cavity, the periphery and the bottom of the bare cell 2 are completely wrapped by the flexible bag 3, and the functions similar to Mylar films and bottom plates can be achieved, so that after the flexible bag 3 of the embodiment is adopted, mylar films and bottom plates commonly used in the conventional square aluminum shell battery can be canceled.
Referring to fig. 2, the flexible bag 3 includes at least two layers of structures, a certain compression space is reserved between two adjacent layers of structures, so that the flexible bag 3 has a certain thickness capable of being compressed, a sealing layer 32 is formed between two adjacent layers of structures, electrolyte 31 is filled in the sealing layer 32, when the expansion force of the bare cell 2 is greater than the expansion force which can be tolerated by the sealing layer 32, the electrolyte 31 in the sealing layer 32 is extruded from the sealing position, the thickness of the flexible bag 3 is contracted and thinned, so as to provide a space for expanding the bare cell 2, and the extruded electrolyte 31 can also compensate the consumption of the electrolyte 31 in the battery charging and discharging process, so that the cycle performance of the battery is improved;
in other embodiments, the sealing layer 32 may be filled with a gaseous substance. The gaseous substance is an inert gas or other gas that does not react with the electrolyte and the bare cell. The sealing layer 32 is filled with inert gas, and when the expansion force of the bare cell 2 is larger than the expansion force which can be tolerated by the sealing layer 32, the flexible bag 3 breaks to release gas. In general, gases are more easily compressed than liquids, so flexible bags of the same thickness can provide a larger expansion space for filling gaseous substances than for filling liquids. That is, the same interface improving effect is achieved, the thickness of the flexible bag filled with the gaseous substance is smaller, and the space utilization of the battery is improved to some extent.
Specifically, when the expansion force that the sealing layer 32 can bear is set to be 100 kgf-400 kgf, and when the expansion force that the sealing layer can bear is larger than the expansion force that the sealing layer can bear, the sealing layer breaks to release the electrolyte 31, if the expansion force that the sealing layer can bear is set to be too small, the bare cell 2 expands in the formation process, the sealing layer 32 breaks prematurely, the acting force on the bare cell 2 is released in advance, and the interface improvement effect is not ideal; if the expansion force is too large, the sealing layer 32 cannot be broken in time after the bare cell 2 expands, the bare cell 2 can bulge, in addition, the bare cell 2 is stressed too much, the infiltration effect of the electrolyte 31 can be poor, and the battery performance can be affected;
specifically, the sealing layer 32 is formed by hot-pressing and packaging the film structure, the packaging opening of the sealing layer 32 has a packaging width and a packaging thickness, the expansion force that the sealing layer 32 can bear can be adjusted according to the packaging width L and the packaging thickness H of the sealing layer 32, and the packaging width L and the packaging thickness H are controlled by the width of the sealing head, the temperature during packaging and the pressure of the sealing head.
In the embodiment, the total thickness of the flexible bag 3 is 2% -10% of the total thickness of the battery, and the thickness of each surface can be the same or different; if the set thickness is too small, the acting force on the bare cell 2 in the formation process is too small, and the interface improvement effect is poor; if the set thickness is too large, the occupied space in the shell 1 is too large, and the energy density of the battery is affected;
specifically, the total thickness of the flexible bag 3 includes the sum of the thickness of the flexible bag and the thickness of the filler, and the total thickness of the battery is the thickness of the assembled bare cells 2 and the battery case 1. In the actual use process, the thickness expansion size and the group margin design of the pole piece can be adjusted to achieve the optimal effect.
In particular, the flexible pouch 3 is made of an insulating material, since it is required to be in contact with the bare cell 2 and the case 1, and in particular, the insulating material includes at least one of polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinylidene fluoride, aramid, polyethylene terephthalate, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyacrylonitrile, polyimide, polyamide, polyester, and natural fiber.
According to the distribution condition of the bare cells 2 in the shell 1, the flexible bag 3 at least comprises the following two setting modes:
example 1
Referring to fig. 3, in this embodiment, a plurality of groups of bare cells 2 are disposed in the housing 1, the bare cells 2 together form a bare cell module, and the flexible bag 3 is disposed outside the bare cell module.
Example 2
Referring to fig. 4, in the present embodiment, a plurality of groups of bare cells 2 are disposed in the housing 1, and the flexible bag 3 is disposed between a plurality of adjacent groups of the bare cells 2 and the housing 1. The heat generated by the middle part of the bare cell is more, and expansion is easier to generate, so that the flexible bag is arranged between adjacent bare cells, acting force can be better applied to the bare cells, and the expansion is relieved.
