Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Batterie mit einem Stapel aus mehreren prismatischen Batterieeinzelzellen nach der im Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 näher definierten Art.The invention relates to a battery with a stack of several prismatic battery individual cells according to the closer defined in the preamble of claim 1.
Aus dem allgemeinen Stand der Technik sind Batterieeinzelzellen, beispielsweise in Lithium-Ionen-Technologie, bekannt, welche in Form von sogenannten Pouch- oder Coffeebag-Zellen ausgebildet sind. Diese sogenannten Pouch-Zellen weisen den üblichen Elektrodenstapel aus Anodenfolien, Kathodenfolien und dazwischen angeordneten Separatorfolien auf. Dieser Elektrodenstapel wird dann zwischen Folien eingebracht, welche umlaufend um den Elektrodenstapel, nachdem dieser mit Elektrolyt getränkt worden ist, verschweißt werden. Es entsteht eine Batterieeinzelzelle in einer flexiblen Außenhaut, einer Art Beutel, welcher vorzugsweise aus einer Aluminiumschicht als Diffusionssperre sowie zwei thermoplastischen Kunststoffschichten auf dieser Aluminiumschicht besteht. Die thermoplastischen Kunststoffschichten können dann angeschmolzen und unter Druck erkaltet werden, sodass diese miteinander verschweißen. Durch den umlaufenden verschweißten Bereich ragen lediglich die beiden Stromableiter, welche mit den Anodenfolien einerseits und den Kathodenfolien andererseits verbunden sind und welche zur elektrischen Kontaktierung der Batterieeinzelzelle dienen.Single battery cells, for example in lithium-ion technology, are known from the general state of the art, which are designed in the form of so-called pouch or coffee bag cells. These so-called pouch cells have the usual electrode stack of anode foils, cathode foils and separator foils arranged between them. This electrode stack is then inserted between films, which are welded around the electrode stack, after it has been soaked with electrolyte, welded. The result is a single battery cell in a flexible outer skin, a kind of bag, which preferably consists of an aluminum layer as a diffusion barrier and two thermoplastic layers of plastic on this aluminum layer. The thermoplastic resin layers can then be melted and cooled under pressure so that they weld together. By the circumferential welded area protrude only the two current conductors, which are connected to the anode foils on the one hand and the cathode foils on the other hand and which serve for electrical contacting of the battery single cell.
Derartige Pouch-Zellen sind typischerweise mechanisch relativ empfindlich und werden daher zusammen mit geeigneten Rahmen, welche entweder als jeweils zwischen zwei Zellen liegende Zwischenrahmen oder als jeweils eine der Zellen einschließende Halbrahmen ausgebildet sind. Zwischen den beiden Zwischenrahmen beziehungsweise den beiden Hälften des Halbrahmens wird dabei der umlaufende verschweißte Bereich eingeklemmt, um die Zelle über einen Kraftschluss mit dem Rahmen zu verbinden und eine mechanisch stabile Einheit zu schaffen. Die Batterieeinzelzellen und die Rahmen werden dann typischerweise zur Batterie gestapelt und über am Ende des Stapels angeordnete Druckbrillen und geeignete Spannelemente, beispielsweise Zuganker, Spannbänder oder dergleichen, verspannt.Such pouch cells are typically relatively mechanically sensitive, and therefore, together with suitable frames, which are formed either as inter-frame inter-cell frames or as one-half-frame enclosing cells, respectively. Between the two intermediate frames or the two halves of the half frame while the circumferential welded area is clamped in order to connect the cell via a frictional connection with the frame and to create a mechanically stable unit. The battery cells and frames are then typically stacked into the battery and tensioned via pressure gauges located at the end of the stack and suitable tension members, such as tie rods, straps, or the like.
Nun ist es so, dass bei einer Überladung oder einem Kurzschluss im Inneren der Batterieeinzelzelle, insbesondere wenn diese in Lithium-Ionen-Technologie ausgebildet sind, ein Überdruck entstehen kann, welcher ab einem bestimmten Wert definiert abgebaut werden muss, um eine exotherme Reaktion der Zellchemie, dem sogenannten Thermal Runaway der Batterieeinzelzelle zu verhindern. Eine solche exotherme Reaktion kann zu einem Brand oder einer Explosion in der Batterieeinzelzelle führen. Der Überdruck entsteht dabei im Wesentlichen durch die Verdampfung des Elektrolyten, wenn die Batterieeinzelzelle überhitzt wird. Nun ist es so, dass in einer einzelnen nicht zwischen Rahmen beziehungsweise Halbrahmen eingespannten Pouch-Zelle nur vergleichsweise geringe Drücke aufgebaut werden können, da dann die Folie im Bereich der Schweißstellen durch die Wirkung von Schälspannungen früh aufreißt und der Druck abgebaut wird. Wird die als Pouch-Zelle ausgebildete Batterieeinzelzelle jedoch wie oben beschrieben umlaufend zwischen Rahmen in Form von Zwischenrahmen oder Halbrahmen eingeklemmt, dann kann sich der entstehende Druck erst dann abbauen, wenn der komplette Zellstapel beispielsweise durch ein Reißen von Zugankern oder Spannbändern in axialer Richtung zerstört wird. Die hierfür erforderlichen Drücke sind jedoch extrem hoch, sodass bei dem oben beschriebenen Aufbau ein Thermal Runaway nicht verhindert werden kann. Sofern es zu einer Zerstörung des gesamten Stapels aus Batterieeinzelzellen durch sich explosionsartig öffnende Zellen kommt, entsteht außerdem Energie in einer Größenordnung, welche nicht beherrschbar ist. Ein solches Szenario gilt es also unbedingt zu verhindern.It is then the case that in the event of an overcharge or a short circuit in the interior of the single cell of the battery, especially if these are formed in lithium-ion technology, an overpressure may arise which must be reduced in a defined manner above a certain value in order to exert an exothermic reaction of the cell chemistry to prevent the so-called thermal runaway of the single cell battery. Such an exothermic reaction can lead to a fire or explosion in the single battery cell. The overpressure is essentially due to the evaporation of the electrolyte when the battery cell is overheated. Now it is the case that only comparatively low pressures can be built up in a single pouch cell not clamped between frame or half frame, since then the foil tears open early in the area of the welds due to the effect of peeling stresses and the pressure is reduced. If, however, the battery cell formed as a pouch cell is clamped peripherally between frame in the form of intermediate frame or half frame as described above, then the resulting pressure can only degrade when the complete cell stack is destroyed in the axial direction, for example by tearing tie rods or tension bands , However, the pressures required for this are extremely high, so that in the structure described above, a thermal runaway can not be prevented. If there is a destruction of the entire stack of individual battery cells by explosively opening cells, also creates energy in an order of magnitude, which is not controllable. It is important to avoid such a scenario.
Die deutsche Offenlegungsschrift
Die Aufgabe der hier vorliegenden Erfindung besteht nun darin, eine Batterie gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 anzugeben, welche die beschriebenen Nachteile vermeidet.The object of the present invention is now to provide a battery according to the preamble of claim 1, which avoids the disadvantages described.
Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil von Anspruch 1 genannten Merkmale gelöst. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sowie eine bevorzugte Verwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Batterie sind in den abhängigen Unteransprüchen angegeben.According to the invention this object is achieved by the features mentioned in the characterizing part of claim 1. Further advantageous embodiments and a preferred use of the battery according to the invention are specified in the dependent subclaims.
Die erfindungsgemäße Batterie besteht also aus Batterieeinzelzellen, welche jeweils einen in Folie eingeschweißten Elektrodenstapel umfassen. Die Batterieeinzelzellen sind also in der Form von Pouch-Zellen ausgebildet. Die Pouch-Zellen sind, wie im eingangs beschriebenen Stand der Technik vorgesehen, zwischen Rahmen zu dem Stapel der Batterieeinzelzellen verspannt. Zur mechanischen Stabilisierung der Batterieeinzelzellen sind die umlaufend verschweißten Bereiche dabei zwischen jeweils zwei benachbarten Rahmen eingeklemmt und bilden so eine mechanisch durch Kraftschluss verbundene Einheit aus Rahmen und Batterieeinzelzelle. Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung sieht nun vor, dass wenigstens einer von zwei benachbarten Rahmen in einem Bereich, in dem er in Kontakt zum umlaufend verschweißten Bereich steht, eine Ausnehmung aufweist. Die Ausnehmung ist dabei so ausgebildet, dass der verschweißte Bereich in seiner gesamten Ausdehnung zwischen dem Elektrodenstapel und dem Rand der Batterieeinzelzelle auf wenigstens einer Seite, vorzugsweise auf beiden Seiten, freiliegt. Durch diese Ausnehmung im Bereich des Rahmens wird also erreicht, dass die Batterieeinzelzelle über den größten Teil ihres Umfangs im umlaufenden verschweißten Bereich zwischen den beiden benachbarten Rahmen eingespannt ist. Damit ist ein mechanisch stabiler Aufbau aus den beiden benachbarten Rahmen und der Batterieeinzelzelle sichergestellt. Durch die Ausnehmung wird in einem Abschnitt des verschweißten Bereichs dieser zwischen den Rahmen freigelassen. In diesem Abschnitt reagiert der verschweißte Bereich also so, als wenn die Pouch-Zelle nicht zwischen den Rahmen eingespannt wäre. Ohne dass über zusätzliche Elemente wie Sicherheitsventile, eine gezielte Schwächung der Schweißverbindung oder dergleichen ein Unterschied in dem umlaufend verschweißten Bereich vorgesehen werden muss, entsteht durch die in den Rahmen eingebrachte wenigstens eine Ausnehmung einfach und effizient eine Stelle, in deren Bereich die beiden miteinander verschweißten Folien im Falle eines Überdrucks im Inneren der Batterieeinzelzelle durch Schälspannungen früh aufreißen. Ohne dass bei der Fertigung der Batterieeinzelzelle irgendwelche Änderungen vorgenommen werden müssten, entsteht so durch eine einfache Ausnehmung im Bereich des Rahmens ein Aufbau, bei welchem die Batterieeinzelzelle, sollte diese einen zu hohen Innendruck aufbauen, sich sicher und zuverlässig öffnet und so eine exotherme Reaktion der Zellchemie verhindert.The battery according to the invention thus consists of single battery cells, each one in Include foil welded electrode stack. The battery individual cells are thus formed in the form of pouch cells. The pouch cells are, as provided in the prior art described above, braced between frames to the stack of battery cells. For mechanical stabilization of the individual battery cells, the circumferentially welded areas are clamped between each two adjacent frames and thus form a unit of frame and single battery cell mechanically connected by adhesion. The solution according to the invention now provides that at least one of two adjacent frames has a recess in a region in which it is in contact with the peripherally welded region. The recess is designed so that the welded area in its entire extent between the electrode stack and the edge of the single battery cell on at least one side, preferably on both sides, exposed. By this recess in the region of the frame is thus achieved that the battery single cell is clamped over the greater part of its circumference in the circumferential welded area between the two adjacent frame. This ensures a mechanically stable construction of the two adjacent frames and the single battery cell. Through the recess in a portion of the welded area this is left between the frame. In this section, the welded area responds as if the pouch cell were not clamped between the frames. Without having to provide a difference in the circumferentially welded area via additional elements such as safety valves, a targeted weakening of the welded joint or the like, the space introduced by the two films welded together forms at least one recess simply and efficiently in the event of overpressure in the interior of the single battery cell, rip it open early by peeling. Without that any changes would have to be made in the manufacture of single battery cell, created by a simple recess in the frame a structure in which the single battery cell, should they build too high an internal pressure, safely and reliably opens and so an exothermic reaction Cell chemistry prevented.
Gemäß einer besonders günstigen und vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der erfindungsgemäßen Batterie ist es vorgesehen, dass alle Ausnehmungen auf einer Seite des Stapels, vorzugsweise auf der den Stromableitern abgewandten Seite des Stapels angeordnet sind. Da der Elektrolyt leitend ist, sollte ein Kontakt mit den Stromableitern und der in diesem Bereich typischerweise angeordneten Elektronik verhindert werden, um weitere Kurzschlüsse zu unterbinden. Die Anordnung aller Ausnehmungen auf einer Seite des Stapels, vorzugsweise in einem in Stapelrichtung verlaufenden Bereich, ermöglicht es im Falle, dass eine oder mehrere der Batterieeinzelzellen einen zu hohen Innendruck entwickeln, die entstandenen Venting-Gase zusammen mit den typischerweise von den Venting-Gasen mitgerissenen flüssigen Elektrolyttröpfchen in einen Bereich zu leiten. Dieser kann so ausgebildet werden, dass sie vergleichsweise wenig Schaden anrichten können. Sind alle Venting-Öffnungen auf einer Seite des Stapels der Batterieeinzelzellen angeordnet, so kann sehr leicht über ein geeignetes Gehäuseteil ein Sammeln oder Abführen der Gase und/oder des Elektrolyts in einem Bereich, in dem dieser keinen Schaden anrichten kann, erreicht werden. Eine aufwändige Leitungsführung mit Schläuchen, wie beim eingangs genannten Stand der Technik, ist dabei nicht notwendig, prinzipiell aber selbstverständlich denkbar.According to a particularly favorable and advantageous development of the battery according to the invention, it is provided that all recesses are arranged on one side of the stack, preferably on the side of the stack facing away from the current conductors. Since the electrolyte is conductive, contact with the current conductors and the electronics typically arranged in this area should be prevented in order to prevent further short circuits. The arrangement of all the recesses on one side of the stack, preferably in a stacked area, makes it possible, in the event that one or more of the battery cells develop too high an internal pressure, the resulting venting gases along with those typically entrained by the venting gases liquid electrolyte droplets in an area to lead. This can be designed so that they can cause relatively little damage. If all Venting openings are arranged on one side of the stack of battery cells, it can very easily be achieved via a suitable housing part collecting or removing the gases and / or the electrolyte in an area where it can do no damage. An expensive cable routing with hoses, as in the aforementioned prior art, is not necessary, but in principle conceivable course.
Die erfindungsgemäße Batterie lässt sich also mit sehr einfachen Mitteln kostengünstig in großen Stückzahlen so herstellen, dass diese einen sicheren und zuverlässigen Betrieb ermöglicht, bei dem die Gefahr eines Thermal Runaways, eines Brandes oder einer Explosion weitgehend ausgeschlossen werden kann. Eine derartige Batterie eignet sich daher insbesondere zum Einsatz in einem zumindest teilweise elektrisch angetriebenen Fahrzeug als Traktionsbatterie, da hier entsprechend hohe Anforderungen sowohl an die Serientauglichkeit der Fertigung als auch an die Sicherheit der Batterie zu stellen sind.The battery according to the invention can thus be produced inexpensively in large quantities with very simple means so that it enables safe and reliable operation, in which the risk of a thermal runaway, a fire or an explosion can be largely excluded. Such a battery is therefore particularly suitable for use in an at least partially electrically driven vehicle as a traction battery, since correspondingly high demands are to be placed both on the series production capability and on the safety of the battery.
Die erfindungsgemäße Batterie erfüllt all dieses und ist daher als Traktionsbatterie besonders gut geeignet.The battery of the invention fulfills all this and is therefore particularly well suited as a traction battery.
Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der erfindungsgemäßen Batterie ergeben sich dabei aus den restlichen abhängigen Unteransprüchen und werden anhand der Ausführungsbeispiele deutlich, welche nachfolgend unter Bezugnahme auf die Figuren näher beschrieben werden.Further advantageous embodiments of the battery according to the invention will become apparent from the remaining dependent claims and will be apparent from the embodiments, which are described below with reference to the figures.
