The utility model is further described below with reference to examples.
Example 1
As shown in fig. 1, the large-capacity battery in this embodiment includes 9 parallel single batteries 1, and the number of the single batteries in other embodiments can be adjusted according to actual requirements. Referring to fig. 2, the single battery 1 is a single square battery, and the single square battery includes an upper cover plate 23, a lower cover plate 24, a cylinder and a battery cell assembly; the cell assembly may also be referred to herein as an electrode assembly, which is assembled by sequentially arranging a positive electrode, a separator, and a negative electrode, using a lamination or winding process. The upper cover plate 23, the cylinder body and the lower cover plate 24 form a battery shell, and the battery cell assembly is arranged in the battery shell. Referring to fig. 3, in order to facilitate subsequent processing and assembly, the first hollow member 2 of this embodiment has a rectangular cross section, extends along the arrangement direction of the plurality of unit cells 1, and is fixed to the bottom of each unit cell 1, where the bottom can be understood as the lower cover 24 of each unit cell 1. The electrolyte areas of the respective unit cells 1 are communicated through the first hollow members 2 (in fig. 1, wherein the sizes of the first hollow members in the a-drawing and the b-drawing are different in the width direction of the unit cells). The method is realized by the following scheme:
1) This can be achieved by making openings in the lower cover plate 24 of each cell 1 and in the first hollow member 2, in particular by providing the lower cover plate 24 of each cell 1 with a first through hole 6 (see fig. 2); second through holes 7 (see fig. 3) corresponding to the first through holes 6 of the single batteries 1 are correspondingly formed in the top 5 of the first hollow box body. After the first through holes 6 and the second through holes 7 are penetrated, the electrolyte in each single battery 1 can enter the first hollow member 2 through the first through holes 6 and the second through holes 7.
2) The opening of the first hollow member 2 and any side wall of the cylinder of each single battery 1 can be realized, specifically, a first through hole 6 is arranged on any side wall of the cylinder of each single battery 1; second through holes 7 corresponding to the first through holes 6 of the single batteries 1 one by one are correspondingly formed in the top 5 of the first hollow box body. After the first through holes 6 and the second through holes 7 are communicated through the external pipelines, electrolyte in each single battery 1 can enter the first hollow member 2 through the first through holes 6 and the second through holes 7. But this solution is relatively complex, so this embodiment prefers solution 1).
When the scheme 1) is adopted, the penetration of the first through hole 6 and the second through hole 7 may adopt the following scheme:
The first hollow component 2 is formed by directly performing sealing grafting by interference fit of a plurality of sections of first sub-pipelines; at this time, the first sub-pipelines of the multiple sections are arranged on the lower cover plate 24 of the single battery 1 one by one, extend along the arrangement direction of the single battery 1, are integrally extruded with the lower cover plate 24, and are communicated with the first through hole 6 of the lower cover plate 24.
During assembly, first sub-pipelines are integrally formed on the lower cover plate 24, and in order to facilitate the plugging between the two first sub-pipelines, the length of the first sub-pipelines needs to be longer than that of the lower cover plate, that is, at least one end of the first sub-pipelines serving as a connecting end needs to extend out of the lower cover plate at the moment, so that effective connection between the two first sub-pipelines can be ensured. And then the lower cover plate 24 is welded with the cylinder, then the battery cell assembly is assembled, and the upper cover plate 23 is welded, so that the single battery 1 is assembled. According to this method, all the unit cells 1 are assembled. And then, two ends of the first sub-pipeline are used as connecting ends with the other sub-pipeline, when the two single batteries 1 are connected, one end of the first sub-pipeline on one single battery 1 is extruded into the first sub-pipeline of the other single battery 1, and the two ends are in interference fit, so that the tightness after extrusion is ensured. And then electrolyte is injected into the inner cavity through the liquid injection port. The liquid injection port may be a liquid injection port on each unit cell 1, or may be a liquid injection port formed on the first hollow member 2, so as to facilitate liquid injection. In addition, before electrolyte is injected into the inner cavity, the environment of the inner cavity needs to be ensured to be the environment with dew point standard of-25 to 40 ℃, humidity of less than or equal to 1 percent, temperature of 23+/-2 ℃ and cleanliness of 10 ten thousand grades. The inner cavity can reach the environmental standard by vacuumizing before liquid injection. In addition, the liquid injection port formed in each unit cell or the first hollow member needs to be sealed by a plug when no liquid is injected.
According to the scheme, through the first hollow member in the plug-in mode, electrolyte cavities of all the single batteries are communicated, electrolyte of all the single batteries is located under the same system, differences among the electrolyte of all the single batteries are reduced, consistency among the single batteries is improved to a certain extent, and therefore the cycle life of the large-capacity battery is prolonged to a certain extent.
This scheme requires each first sub-pipeline coaxial in the grafting process, just can realize effective connection, however, makes the axiality of each first sub-pipeline difficult to guarantee because of following reason:
1) The first sub-pipelines and the lower cover plate are integrated, if the positions of the first sub-pipelines on the lower cover plate on all the integrated parts are slightly deviated, or the sizes of the first sub-pipelines are slightly deviated, the coaxiality of the first sub-pipelines is deviated when the first sub-pipelines are spliced;
2) When the integrated piece is welded with the cylinder, the situation that the positions of the first sub-pipelines relative to the cylinder are inconsistent possibly occurs due to the difference of welding processes, so that the coaxiality of each first sub-pipeline is deviated when the first sub-pipelines are spliced;
3) According to the scheme, when the first sub-pipelines are spliced, special tools are needed, and due to improper use of the tools or operation problems of constructors, the coaxiality of the first sub-pipelines is deviated;
In addition, when the first sub-pipelines are connected in an inserting mode, deviation among the first sub-pipelines can be increased along with the increase of the inserting quantity, so that the coaxiality among the first sub-pipelines is difficult to ensure as the inserting quantity is increased; resulting in a decrease in yield with an increase in the number of pins during assembly.
In summary, in this solution, the sub-pipes of two adjacent unit batteries 1 are difficult to be coaxial, so that when the sub-pipes are plugged, the first sub-pipe may be displaced relative to the lower cover 24, or the lower cover may be displaced relative to the cylinder, thereby damaging the battery.
The second scheme is that the first hollow member 2 comprises a hollow box body with a rectangular cross section, wherein the hollow box body is of a split structure and consists of a first hollow box body 3 with an open end 8 at the top and a first cover plate 4 for covering the open end 8; a second through hole 7 is formed in the top 5 of the first hollow box body;
during assembly, firstly, the cylinder body and the lower cover plate 24 are welded, the battery cell assembly is assembled, then the upper cover plate 23 is welded, and the assembly of the spare single battery is completed, wherein the spare single battery can be understood as a single battery which does not comprise electrolyte; secondly, as shown in fig. 4, the top 5 of the first hollow box body and the bottom of each spare battery cell are positioned, so that each first through hole 6 corresponds to each second through hole 7 one by one, and the projection of each second through hole 7 on the bottom of each spare battery cell is ensured to completely cover the corresponding first through hole 6, and the positioning can be realized through a positioning groove 9 shown in fig. 3; extending the welding head from the bottom open end 8 of the first hollow box body 3 to the edge part of the second through holes 7, and sealing and welding the edges of each second through hole 7 with the lower cover plate 24 of the corresponding spare single battery; so that the first through holes 6 of each spare battery cell are communicated with the corresponding second through holes 7; the first cover plate 4 is welded on the bottom open end 8 of the first hollow box body 3 in a sealing way. And finally, injecting electrolyte into the inner cavity through the liquid injection port. The liquid injection port is formed in the first hollow component so that liquid can be conveniently injected, and liquid exchange can be realized through the liquid injection port in the later stage. In addition, before electrolyte is injected into the inner cavity, the environment of the inner cavity needs to be ensured to be the environment with dew point standard of-25 to 40 ℃, humidity of less than or equal to 1 percent, temperature of 23+/-2 ℃ and cleanliness of 10 ten thousand grades. The inner cavity can reach the environmental standard by vacuumizing before liquid injection. It should be noted that the welding head as used herein refers to a member of the welding apparatus extending into the portion to be welded, if arc welding or argon arc welding is used, the welding head as used herein refers to an end portion of the electrode, and if laser welding is used, the welding head as used herein refers to a laser beam.
In the first step, electrolyte can be directly injected into the spare single battery, and the first through hole is sealed by the sealing component; and separating a plurality of single batteries meeting the requirements.

Example 2
Unlike embodiment 1, this embodiment provides a second hollow member 10 on the basis of embodiment 1; as shown in fig. 5, the second hollow member 10 extends along the arrangement direction of the plurality of unit cells 1, is fixed on top of each unit cell, and is communicated with the inner cavity of each unit cell 1, and the gas areas of each unit cell 1 are communicated through the second hollow member 10. In this embodiment, the second hollow member 10 is added to enable the gas paths of the single batteries 1 to be communicated to improve the consistency of the single batteries 1, that is, the gas areas of the single batteries 1 are communicated, so that the gases of all the single batteries 1 are in the same environment, the difference between the single batteries 1 is further reduced, the consistency between the single batteries 1 is improved, and the cycle life of the high-capacity battery is further prolonged.
Referring to fig. 6, in order to facilitate subsequent processing and assembly, in this embodiment, the second hollow member 10 has the same structure as the first hollow member 2, and is a hollow box with a rectangular cross section, and the second hollow member 10 extends along the arrangement direction of the plurality of unit cells 1 and is fixed on top of each unit cell 1, where the top can be understood as an upper cover plate 23 of each unit cell 1. The gas regions of the respective unit cells 1 are communicated through the second hollow member 10. The method is realized by the following scheme:
1) This can be achieved by perforating the upper cover plate 23 of each cell 1 and the second hollow member 10, specifically by providing the upper cover plate 23 of each cell 1 with a third through hole 14, see fig. 7; fourth through holes 15 which are in one-to-one correspondence with the third through holes 14 of the single batteries 1 are correspondingly formed in the bottom 13 of the second hollow box body, as shown in fig. 6. After the third through hole 14 and the fourth through hole 15 are penetrated, the electrolyte in each unit cell 1 can enter the second hollow member 10 through the third through hole 14 and the fourth through hole 15.
2) The cylindrical body of each single battery 1 and the second hollow member 10 can be perforated, specifically, the cylindrical body of each single battery 1 is provided with a third through hole 14; fourth through holes 15 which are in one-to-one correspondence with the third through holes 14 of the single batteries 1 are correspondingly formed in the bottom 13 of the second hollow box body. After the third through hole 14 and the fourth through hole 15 are penetrated through the pipe, the gas in each unit cell 1 can enter the second hollow member 10 through the third through hole 14 and the fourth through hole 15. But this solution is relatively complex, so this embodiment prefers solution 1).
When the scheme 1) is adopted, the following scheme can be adopted for the penetration of the third through hole 14 and the fourth through hole 15:
The first scheme is that the second hollow component 10 is formed by directly performing sealing grafting by interference fit of a plurality of sections of second sub-pipelines; at this time, the second sub-pipelines are arranged on the upper cover plate 23 of the single battery 1 one by one, extend along the arrangement direction of the single battery 1, are integrally extruded with the upper cover plate 23, and are communicated with the third through hole 14 of the upper cover plate 23.
During assembly, the upper cover plate 23 and the lower cover plate 24 respectively squeeze the second sub-pipeline and the first sub-pipeline, then the upper cover plate 23 is welded with the cylinder body, then the battery cell assembly is assembled, and the lower cover plate 24 is welded, so that the assembly of the single battery 1 is completed. According to this method, all the unit cells 1 are assembled. And then, two ends of the first sub-pipeline are used as connecting ends with the other first sub-pipeline, two ends of the second sub-pipeline are used as connecting ends with the other second sub-pipeline, when two single batteries 1 are connected, one end of the first sub-pipeline on one single battery 1 is extruded into the first sub-pipeline of the other single battery 1, interference fit is adopted between the two ends, and one end of the second sub-pipeline on the single battery 1 is extruded into the second sub-pipeline of the other single battery 1, interference fit is adopted between the two ends, so that the tightness after extrusion is finished is ensured. And then the electrolyte is injected into the inner cavity after vacuumizing through the liquid injection port.
This scheme, similar to the scheme that the first hollow member is formed by directly performing sealing and plugging by interference fit between the first sub-pipelines of the multiple sections in embodiment 1, has corresponding problems, and when the first hollow member adopts a plugging form, the scheme needs to plug the first hollow member 2 and the second hollow member 10 at the same time, which has extremely high requirements on processing precision, and is difficult to realize batch production.
The second scheme is that the second hollow member 10 comprises a hollow box body with a rectangular cross section, wherein the hollow box body is of a split structure and consists of a second hollow box body 11 with an open end 8 at the top and a second cover plate 12 for covering the open end 8; a fourth through hole 15 is formed in the bottom 13 of the second hollow box body;
during assembly, firstly, the cylinder body and the upper cover plate 23 are welded, the battery cell assembly is assembled, and then the lower cover plate 24 is welded, so that the assembly of the spare single battery is completed; secondly, the second hollow box 11 is positioned with the top of each spare battery cell, so that each third through hole 14 corresponds to each fourth through hole 15 one by one, and the projection of each fourth through hole 15 on the top of each spare battery cell is ensured to completely cover the corresponding third through hole 14; extending the welding head from the top open end 8 of the second hollow box 11 to the edge part of the fourth through hole 15, and sealing and welding the edges of each fourth through hole 15 with the upper cover plate 23 of the corresponding spare single battery; so that the third through holes 14 of the respective unit cells 1 are communicated with the corresponding fourth through holes 15; the second cover plate 12 is sealed and welded to the top open end 8 of the second hollow housing 11 as shown in fig. 8 and 9. Thirdly, the first hollow components are welded and positioned with the bottoms of all the single batteries, so that all the first through holes 6 are in one-to-one correspondence with all the second through holes 7, and the projection of all the second through holes 7 on the bottoms of all the single batteries is ensured to completely cover the corresponding first through holes 6; extending the welding head from the bottom open end 8 of the first hollow box body 3 to the edge part of the second through holes 7, and sealing and welding the edges of each second through hole 7 with the lower cover plate 24 of the corresponding single battery 1; so that the first through holes 6 of the individual battery cells 1 are communicated with the corresponding second through holes 7; the first cover plate 4 is welded on the bottom open end 8 of the first hollow box body 3 in a sealing way. Wherein the second step and the third step are not sequential. And finally, injecting electrolyte into the inner cavity through the liquid injection port. Other two assembly schemes similar to those of example 1 may also be employed. Note that, in the case where the liquid is not injected, the liquid injection port formed in each unit cell or in the first hollow member 2 needs to be sealed by a plug. In addition, before electrolyte is injected into the inner cavity, the environment of the inner cavity needs to be ensured to be the environment with dew point standard of-25 to 40 ℃, humidity of less than or equal to 1 percent, temperature of 23+/-2 ℃ and cleanliness of 10 ten thousand grades. The inner cavity can reach the environmental standard by vacuumizing before liquid injection.
In the first step, electrolyte can be directly injected into the spare single battery, and the first through hole and the third through hole are respectively sealed by using a sealing component; and separating a plurality of single batteries meeting the requirements. After the first hollow member, the second hollow member and each single battery are welded, the sealing assembly is opened under the action of external force or electrolyte, so that the first through hole 6 is communicated with the corresponding second through hole 7, and the third through hole 14 is communicated with the corresponding fourth through hole 15.
During assembly, the first hollow components can be welded on each lower cover plate, so that the first through holes on each lower cover plate are communicated with the corresponding second through holes; then, each cylinder is welded on the corresponding lower cover plate, and then is filled into the battery cell assembly, and the upper cover plate is welded; and then welding the second hollow member on the upper cover plate, enabling the third through hole to be communicated with the corresponding fourth through hole, and finally injecting electrolyte into the inner cavities of all the single batteries through the first hollow member to form the battery.
According to the scheme, the second hollow member does not need to be inserted, the coaxial insertion problem is not needed to be considered in the arrangement direction of the single battery, all the third through holes 14 are located on the same plane as much as possible, all the fourth through holes 15 are located on the same plane as much as possible, all the first through holes 6 are located on the same plane as much as possible, all the second through holes 7 are located on the same plane as much as possible, and the concentricity of the third through holes 14, the fourth through holes 15, the first through holes 6 and the second through holes 7 is not needed to be considered; the consistency of the first through hole 6, the second through hole 7, the third through hole 14 and the fourth through hole 15 is not required to be considered, the requirements on the machining precision and the assembly precision are low, and the influence of the machining precision and the assembly precision on the product yield is weakened; meanwhile, a special tool is not needed, and the assembly process is simpler; and during welding, the welding head stretches into from the open end 8, no shielding is caused, the welding between the edge of the fourth through hole 15 and the top of each single battery and between the edge of the second through hole 7 and the bottom of each single battery can be completed at one time, the process is simple, the sealing effect is good, and batch production can be realized.
The third scheme is that the second hollow member 10 comprises a hollow box body with a rectangular cross section, wherein the hollow box body is of a split structure and is composed of a second hollow box body 11 with an open end 8 at the top and a second cover plate 12 for covering the open end 8; a fourth through hole 15 is formed in the second hollow box 11; the third through hole 14 and the fourth through hole 15 are penetrated by a third hollow member 16. The caliber of the fourth through hole 15 needs to be slightly larger than the caliber of the connecting end of the third hollow member 16 and the fourth through hole 15 so that the third hollow member 16 can be inserted into the fourth through hole 15.
During assembly, firstly, the cylinder body and the upper cover plate 23 are welded, the battery cell assembly is assembled, and then the lower cover plate 24 is welded, so that the assembly of the spare single battery is completed; secondly, the second hollow box 11 is positioned with the top of each spare battery cell, so that each third through hole 14 corresponds to each fourth through hole 15 one by one, each third hollow member 16 corresponds to each fourth through hole 15 one by one, and each third hollow member 16 is ensured to be inserted into the fourth through hole 15; extending the welding head from the top open end 8 of the second hollow box 11 to the edge part of the fourth through hole 15, and welding the edge of each fourth through hole 15 with the outer wall of the corresponding third hollow member 16 to realize sealing; when the end face of the third hollow member 16 is flush with the inner bottom surface of the second hollow box body, the edge of the fourth through hole 15 can be directly welded with the end face of the corresponding third hollow member 16 to realize sealing; so that the third through holes 14 of each spare battery cell are communicated with the corresponding fourth through holes 15; a second cover plate 12 is sealingly welded to the second hollow box top open end 8 as shown in fig. 10. Thirdly, positioning the top 5 of the first hollow box body and the bottoms of all the single batteries so that all the first through holes 6 are in one-to-one correspondence with all the second through holes 7, and ensuring that the projection of each second through hole 7 on the bottom of each single battery completely covers the corresponding first through hole 6; extending the welding head from the bottom open end 8 of the first hollow box body 3 to the edge part of the second through holes 7, and sealing and welding the edges of each second through hole 7 with the lower cover plate 24 of the corresponding single battery 1; so that the first through holes 6 of the individual battery cells 1 are communicated with the corresponding second through holes 7; the first cover plate 4 is welded on the bottom open end 8 of the first hollow box body 3 in a sealing way. Wherein the second step and the third step are not sequential. Finally, the electrolyte is injected into the inner cavity after being vacuumized through the liquid injection port.
In the first step, electrolyte can be directly injected into the spare single battery, and the first through hole and the third through hole are respectively sealed by using a sealing component; and separating a plurality of single batteries meeting the requirements. After the first hollow member, the second hollow member and each single battery are welded, the sealing assembly is opened under the action of external force or electrolyte, so that the first through hole 6 is communicated with the corresponding second through hole 7, and the third through hole 14 is communicated with the corresponding fourth through hole 15.
During assembly, the first hollow components can be welded on each lower cover plate, so that the first through holes on each lower cover plate are communicated with the corresponding second through holes; then, each cylinder is welded on the corresponding lower cover plate, and then is filled into the battery cell assembly, and the upper cover plate is welded; and then welding the second hollow member on the upper cover plate, enabling the third through hole to be communicated with the corresponding fourth through hole, and finally injecting electrolyte into the inner cavities of all the single batteries through the first hollow member to form the battery.
According to the scheme, the second hollow member is not required to be inserted, the problem of coaxial insertion is not required to be considered in the arrangement direction of the single batteries, the caliber of one end of the third hollow member 16 matched with the fourth through hole 15 is only required to be smaller than that of the fourth through hole 15, the third hollow member 16 can be inserted into the fourth through hole 15, the tightness between the third hollow member 16 and the fourth through hole 15 is not required, and the second hollow member and the fourth through hole 15 are sealed through welding, so that the concentricity requirements on the third hollow member 16 and the fourth through hole 15 are not high, the requirements on the machining precision and the assembly precision are lower, and the influence of the machining precision and the assembly precision on the product yield is weakened; meanwhile, a special tool is not needed, and the assembly process is simpler; and during welding, the welding head stretches into from the open end 8, is not shielded, can finish the welding of the edge of the second through hole 7 and the side wall or the end face of the third hollow member 16 at one time, has simple process and good sealing effect, and can realize batch production.
And when the dimension of each single battery in the height direction is different due to processing errors, if the lower cover plates of all the single batteries are positioned on the same plane, and therefore the upper cover plates of all the single batteries cannot be kept on the same plane, the third through holes and the fourth through holes are communicated through the third hollow member, and the height difference between all the upper cover plates can be compensated in the height direction by the third hollow member.
By comparing and analyzing the schemes, the structure and the assembly method of the scheme II and the scheme III are selected in the embodiment.
In this embodiment, the exhaust valve is further disposed on the second hollow member 10, and the exhaust valve can be opened manually or automatically at regular intervals, and the gas in the gas area in each unit cell 1 can be exhausted through the second hollow member 10 and the exhaust valve, so as to further improve the safety performance of the large-capacity battery.
