Description

组合电池及其所用的环形电池
技术领域
本发明涉及一种组合电池, 尤其涉及一种适用于电动交通工具、 智能 电网等的大容量、 高功率的动力组合电池。 本发明还涉及一种可应用于上 述组合电池中的环形电池。 背景技术
从 20世纪 90年代初开始, 锂离子电池的出现和逐步推广, 从一定程 度上带动了便携式设备的飞速发展; 而近 10年来, 动力电池安全性能、倍 率性能的快速提升, 使其能够进入到大型电动工具、 混合动力车、 纯电动 车等领域, 与大扭矩电动机进行搭配, 替代或部分替代了以内燃机为核心 的动力系统, 引发了新一轮的绿色能源热潮。
目前, 出于对大容量实心动力电池内部散热困难的担忧, 已经实现小 规模商品化的锂离子动力电池单体容量都在 8-100Ah之间, 代表性的锂离 子动力电 中信国安盟固利新能源科技有限公司的 SPIM24300260方 型 lOOAh锂离子动力电池和苏州星恒电源有限公司 IMP20/66/148-08PS高 功率 8Ah动力电池。 在这些单体电池的基础上, 技术人员通过对单体电池 的串联和并联来提高电池组的电压和容量, 以满足其它领域的需求,例如: 北京中威信通科技有限公司已经制造出了使用 48V-300Ah 电池组的 UPS 样机 ZWDY-48/300用于电信领域,其电池组是由单体容量为 10Ah的动力 电池组合而成。
EP1705743A1涉及一种包括多个单体电池的电池模块, 在该电池模块 中, 单体电池彼此间隔一预定距离串联或并联地连接。
US2005/0174092A1涉及一种在车辆中使用的电池系统,该电池系统包 括多个电连接的锂电池。 在一个实施例中, 电池系统包括模块, 该模块包 括多个(例如 10个)串联地电连接的电池。 在另一个实施例中, 所述模块 可以通过连接器连接到电线或电缆上, 从而将该模块连接到另一模块或者 车辆电气系统。
即便如此, 现有的实心动力电池的输出功率特性还是无法满足某些高 端领域的需求, 以至于工程师只能通过减小单体电池的容量、 间隙布置、 强制通风来获得所需的高输出功率特性, 最为直接的一个例子就是美国特 斯拉汽车公司(Tesla Motors)在 2008年 3月开始量产的电动汽车 "Tesla Roadster" , 为了达到 4s内从静止加速到 100km h的要求, 其电池组所使 用的单体电池为目前最为成熟的 18650型锂离子电池, 每辆车使用了多达 6831个的 18650型锂离子电池。这样做的代价无疑是大幅度增加了电源管 理系统的复杂程度、 电池组装配和维护的复杂程度以及整个电源系统的可 靠性。
在未来的数年间, 随着动力电池产品成本的进一步降低, 当我们继续 向电站储能和调峰、 电网滤波、 电力机车应急电源等领域拓展动力电池产 品的时候,对于他们提出的、 高达 MW级别的功率要求, 使用单体容量在 100Ah以下的单体电池进行组合几乎是无法想象的。
作为一种改进手段, US 5501916A公开了一种单体电池, 其电池芯体 中具有通孔, 构成电池壳体的盖体直接地或经由与其热连通的铝板与电池 芯体的通孔的侧壁的至少一部分紧密贴合, 由此可改善单体电池内部的散 热问题。
但是, 应该指出, 上述专利中提到的增加通孔并不是解决散热问题的 关键所在。 解决散热问题的关键在于控制电池芯体的最大厚度, 因此, 增 加一个通孔的方式虽然起到了减小电池芯体最大厚度的作用, 但是, 当单 体电池容量增大到 300Ah 及以上或者实心电池芯体最大厚度大于或等于 100 mm时, 由于电池安全性和倍率特性对电池芯体的最大厚度产生的限 制, 简单地增大通孔直径或者增加通孔数量在解决电池内部的散热问题的 同时带来了其它方面的问题,例如,增大通孔就增加了通孔内的无效体积, 降低了单体电池和电池组整体的能量密度和功率密度, 而增加通孔数量又 无疑增加了制造难度和制造成本。
因此,仍需要设计一种既能够有效解决散热问题,又能够提供大容量、 高安全性、 高能量密度以及高功率密度的电池产品。 发明内容
本发明的目的在于克服现有技术中的动力电池的上述缺陷。 本发明通 过一种大容量的组合电池或电池组来实现该目的, 该组合电池包括多个相 互并联电连接的单体电池, 其特征在于, 所述多个单体电池以一个安插在 另一个内的方式相互嵌套设置。
在一种有利构型中,所述多个单体电池均为带有通孔的环形单体电池, 每个环形单体电池包括限定所述通孔的内侧壁、 限定所述环形单体电池的 外周边的外侧壁以及位于内侧壁和外侧壁之间的芯体, 所述多个环形单体 电池以一个安插在另一个的通孔内的方式相互嵌套设置。
在另一种有利构型中, 所述多个单体电池包括一个实心单体电池和围 绕该实心单体电池的一个或多个带有通孔的环形单体电池, 所述实心单体 电池包括芯体和限定所述实心单体电池的外周边的外侧壁, 所述环形单体 电池包括限定所迷通孔的内側壁、 限定所迷环形单体电池的外周边的外侧 壁以及位于内侧壁和外侧壁之间的芯体, 所述一个实心单体电池和所述一 个或多个环形单体电池以一个安插在另一个的通孔内的方式相互嵌套设 置。
本发明通过彼此嵌套的单体电池间的并联, 解决了大容量、 高功率密 度、 低厚度环形电池体积大、 能量密度低的问题, 并进一步改善了组合电 池或电池组的散热。 具体说来, 通过将多个单体电池的尺寸设计成各不相 同, 使得横截面尺寸较小的单体电池能位于横截面尺寸较大的单体电池的 通孔内, 从而将所有的单体电池相互嵌套在一起。 在获得容量大、 散热好 的电池产品的同时, 还有效地利用了单体电池通孔内的无效体积, 从而提 高了电池产品的能量密度。 有利地, 每个环形单体电池的芯体的最大厚度不超过 35 mm。 这样可 限制电池芯体内部极片距离电池侧壁导热表面的最大距离, 从而更好地实 现经由形成电池壳体一部分的侧壁的导热表面散热的效果。 此处, 环形电 池芯体的厚度是指电池芯体在内、 外侧壁之间的尺寸跨度。 例如, 若电池 芯体为空心圆柱形, 则其厚度等于其内、 外半径之差。 但应指出, 单体电 池芯体的最大厚度不限于 35mm以下, 例如, 对于电池倍率要求较低的应 用场合, 该最大厚度可适当扩大至例如 50mm。
有利地, 相邻两个单体电池之间的间隙不小于 5 mm。 这有助于改善 电池组的散热效果。 此处, 相邻两个单体电池之间的间隙是指这两个相邻 单体电池中横截面尺寸较小的单体电池的外侧壁与横截面尺寸较大的单体 电池的内侧壁之间的最小距离。 例如, 若内、 外侧壁均为圓环形, 则所述 间隙等于截面尺寸较小的单体电池的外侧壁的外半径与截面尺寸较大的单 体电池的内侧壁的内半径之差。 但应指出, 对于电池倍率要求较低的应用 场合, 该最小距离不限于 5mm或以上, 甚至该最小距离可以为 0mm, 即 两个相邻单体电池中横截面尺寸较小的单体电池的外侧壁与横截面尺寸较 大的单体电池的内側壁之间紧密接触。
有利地, 对于散热要求相对不高的应用场合, 相邻两个单体电池中被 围绕的一个单体电池的外侧壁可与围绕该单体电池的另一个单体电池的内 侧壁重合。 这样可以简化组合电池的制造。
有利地, 至少一个单体电池的内侧壁和 /或外侧壁上设有散热鳍片, 以 更好地经由电池壳体的侧壁表面散热。
有利地, 整个組合电池的外侧壁、 即横截面尺寸最大从而围绕所有其 它单体电池的环形单体电池的外侧壁上设有散热鳍片, 且所有散热鳍片的 总体外廓形成为矩形或正方形。 这样便于各个组合电池排布, 能充分利用 各组合电池之间的空间来安置散热鳍片, 增强散热效果。 当然, 散热鳍片 的总体外廓也可根据具体的空间布置要求而形成为任意其它适当的形状, 例如三角形、 梯形等, 甚至可以形成为不规则的几何形状。
根据本发明的一个有利实施例, 所述多个单体电池可拆卸地嵌套在一 起。 这样就提供了一种非常灵活的结构, 可以根据需要增加或者减少相互 嵌套在一起的单体电池的数量, 从而提供不同的电池容量。
根据本发明的另一个有利实施例, 所述多个单体电池在相互嵌套后连 接成一体。 这可以增加整个电池组的机械强度。 有利地, 相邻两个单体电 池的相互面对的内侧壁和外側壁之间通过散热鳍片固定连接。 这样, 一方 面可以获得机械强度增加的成一体的电池组, 另一方面可以实现有效的散 热效果。
有利地, 所述环形单体电池为空心圆柱体。 由此得到的电池组结构筒 单, 便于制造和装配。 但是, 本发明不限于此。 相反, 单体电池可以具有 任何合适的形状。 例如, 所述单体电池也可以是空心的棱柱体(即, 横截 面为多边形的空心柱体) , 例如空心的长方体。 相应地, 所述实心单体电 池可以是实心圆柱体或实心棱柱体。
有利地, 所述环形单体电池的通孔的中心线与该单体电池的几何中心 线重合, 其中, 通孔的形状可以为圓孔或多边形孔或任意其它适当形状的 孔。 例如, 当环形单体电池为空心圓柱体时, 其通孔可以是与该圓柱体的 中心轴线同轴的圓孔。 这种构型能在总体上更大程度地减小内部极片距邻 近电池侧壁导热表面的最大距离, 从而更好地实现经由电池侧壁的导热表 面散热的效杲; 这还便于电池壳体与电池芯体的装配, 且有助于电池芯体 在吸收电解液膨胀后以更均匀的张力分布, 压紧紧靠电池壳体, 减少对电 池壳体的扭转力, 从而更好地保护电池。
根据一个有利实施例, 所述单体电池是锂离子电池。 但是, 本发明不 限于此, 而是也可应用于其它类型的单体电池, 例如镍氢电池、 镍镉电池 等。
本发明的另一方面涉及一种可应用于本发明的组合电池中的散热效果 进一步改善的电池, 其特征在于, 该电池具有通孔而呈环形, 包括限定所 述通孔的内侧壁、 限定所述电池的外周边的外侧壁以及位于内侧壁和外侧 壁之间的芯体, 所迷内侧壁和 /或外侧壁是包括两个壳壁的双层壁, 所述两 个壳壁在它们之间用散热鳍片连接成一体。 由于该电池的内侧壁和 /或外侧壁是包括用散热鳍片连接成一体的两 个壳壁的双层壁, 所以可进一步增强电池侧壁的散热效果, 并且该电池可 以根据需要随时进行本发明所涉及的并联电连接组合, 从而自如地达到容 量升级的目的。
有利地, 所述电池的内侧壁和外侧壁中的一个为所述双层壁, 所述电 池的内侧壁和外侧壁中的另一个上设有散热鳍片。 或者, 所述内侧壁和外 侧壁都为所述双层壁。
除此之外, 上述电池还可具有与根据本发明的组合电池中的单体电池 相同的特征。 例如, 该电池可为空心圓柱体或空心棱柱体; 该电池的通孔 的中心线可与该电池的几何中心线重合; 该电池可为锂离子电池, 等等。 附图说明

在上述第四、 第五和第七实施例中, 利用散热鳍片将相邻的两个单体 锂离子动力电池的内、 外侧壁固定连接成一体, 在改善整个组合电池的散 热的同时还增加了組合电池的机械强度,使整个组合电池的结构更加稳定。 对于第九实施例, 相邻的两个单体电池共用一个侧壁, 这也增大了组合电 池的机械强度, 且便于制造。
另外, 与比较例相比, 在本发明的上述实施例中, 组合电池的能量密 度都大大增加。 同时, 由于单体电池的散热性能决定了组合电池的散热性 能, 因此通过适当设置组合电池中的各个单体电池的最大厚度和 /或相互间 隙和 /或利用散热鳍片的作用, 能保证组合电池的散热效果。
图 12-14是可应用在根据本发明的组合电池中的环形单体电池的三个 实施例的示意性透视图。 例示出的这三种环形单体电池均为空心圓柱体, 它们的特征在于, 内側壁和 /或外侧壁是包括两个壳壁的双层壁, 所述两个 壳壁在它们之间用散热鳍片连接成一体。 如图 12所示, 环形电池 1A的外 侧壁 4A为所述双层壁, 而内侧壁 5A上设有散热鳍片; 如图 13所示, 环 形电池 1B的外侧壁 4B和内侧壁 5B都为所述双层壁;如图 14所示,环形 电池 1C的内侧壁 5C为所述双层壁,而外侧壁 4C上设有散热鳍片。当然, 在不是所述双层壁的侧壁上也可不设置散热鳍片。由于采用了所述双层壁, 所以这三种环形单体电池的侧壁的散热效果可进一步增强, 并且这三种电 池可例如用在根据本发明笫四实施例的组合电池中, 根据需要与其它单体 电池进行本发明所涉及的并联电连接组合, 从而自如地达到容量升级的目 的。
虽然在上文中已经以具体实施例的方式对本发明进行了具体说明, 但 是本领域技术人员应当知道, 本发明并不局限于此, 而是在^^开的指导 下能够由本领域技术人员容易想到的修改、 替换和变型都被认为落在本发 明的保护范围内, 例如: 在根据本发明的组合电池中, 多个环形单体电池 的高度不等, 多个环形单体电池的最大厚度不等, 多个环形单体电池的外 形不相同, 等等。 此外, 环形单体电池的最大厚度以及相邻单体电池之间 的间隙也可根据需要适当地设定, 以在能量密度和散热效果之间获得适当 的平衡。 组合电池中的单体电池的数量也不限于上述实施例中的三个, 而 是根据需要也可为两个、 四个或更多个; 组合电池中各个单体电池的容量 也不限于上述实施例中的具体值, 而是根据需要可采用各种容量的单体电 池。 另外,在本发明的组合电池中,散热鳍片的布置也不限于上述实施例, 而是可根据实际需要和具体应用布置在任一个或任几个单体电池的任意选 定的内侧壁和 /或外侧壁的整个或部分表面上。本发明的保护范围由所附的 权利要求书具体限定。
