【具体实施方式】
下面结合附图,对本发明的具体实施方式进行详细描述,但应当理解本发明的保护范围并不受具体实施方式的限制。
根据本发明的一种实施例,提供了一种电池组件,包括:上盖、下盖、和电池,接线柱,所述上盖与下盖封闭形成密封腔体;所述电池设置在密封腔体内部;还包括:导热元件,用于与密封腔体外部进行热量交换;限位装置,用于限定导热元件的位置,限位装置处于导热状态时,导热元件处于可与密封腔体外部进行热量交换的位置,限位装置处于非导热状态时,导热元件处于不能与密封腔体外部进行热量交换的位置;所述上盖/下盖与导热元件的接触部位由导热材料制成。由于本发明的电池组件采用了真空技术,能够根据环境温度的变化使得密封腔体与外界停止或产生热量交换。外界低温时,电池停止与外界进行热量交换,保持密封腔体内部的恒温,使得电池性能不受外界低温影响;外界高温时或者电池温度过高时,电池与外界进行热量交换,降低密封腔体内部的温度,使得电池性能不受高温影响。
优选地,还包括温控装置,用于根据环境温度的变化控制限位装置在导热和非导热两种状态之间进行切换。温控装置可以根据温度的变化来控制限位装置的状态,这样使用起来更加方便与智能。
优选地,所述温控电路包括:温控开关,用于根据环境温度的变化控制限位装置在导热和非导热两种状态之间进行切换;以及电磁铁,设置在限位装置的一侧,可以根据温控开关的导通与断开产生磁力变化,所述导热元件/限位装置在与电磁铁相对应的部位设置有磁性金属元件。在电磁铁通电状态下,磁性金属元件能与电磁铁产生吸力,带动限位装置伸缩或移动。温控开关可以用温度继电器实现,也可以用温控电阻实现。根据选择的温度开关的实现方式不同,温控电路的设置有所不同,温控开关可以实时检测到环境的温度,并将环境温度与预先设定的阈值比较,可以在温度高于或 者低于设定的温度阈值时,实现电路的导通或者闭合。温控电路与电池的两极相连,由电池作为温控电路的电源供应端。
比如温控开关可以设置有触点与电池外壁接触,或者设置有触点与上盖与下盖的内壁接触,这样可以实时或每隔一定时间检测到电池的温度,以及外部环境的温度。可以设置成温度低于预设阈值时,温控开关导通,电磁铁产生磁力;温度高于预设阈值时,温控开关断开,电磁铁不产生磁力;也可以设成温度高于预设阈值时,温控开关导通,电磁铁产生磁力,温度低于预设阈值时,温控开关断开,电磁铁不产生磁力。可以根据具体情况,对电池或上盖/下盖设置相同或者不同的阈值,温控电路根据需要设置成根据电池或上盖/下盖的不同阈值做出不同的动作。或者设定不同的低温阈值和高温阈值,使得在电池或上盖/下盖检测到的温度与低温阈值和/或高温阈值相比较,根据预先设定的规则,温控装置控制限位装置使导热元件实现不同的状态。温控装置可以设置在密封腔体内部,也可以部分设置在密封腔体外部,比如可以将温控装置的触点设置在外壁上,这样测外部环境的温度更加直接。

当然,本发明实施例的电池组件也可以不包括温控装置,比如可以直接设置手动 开关装置实现限位装置的状态切换。使用者可以根据外界环境的变化,或者电池的需要来通过手动开关切换温控装置的状态。

当然,可伸缩部件和导热元件除了上述几种连接结构,还可以有其他的替代方式,比如,设置多个可伸缩部件,和多个导热元件,多个可伸缩部件和多个导热元件互相配合和组合,只要能实现导热状态时,其中的一个或多个可伸缩部件伸展或收缩,能带动一个或多个导热元件与电池外壁或上盖/下盖内壁接触,使得热量在电池和内壁之间进行传递;而非导热状态时,其中的一个或多个可伸缩部件伸展或收缩,带动一个或多个导热元件与电池外壁或上盖/下盖内壁不接触,使得热量不能在电池和内壁之间进行传递即可。

所述导热元件与电池接触的一端环绕或部分环绕接触电池外壁,比如可以用铜箔片包裹整个电池外壁或者部分包裹电池外壁,这样与电池的接触面积大,导热效果好。当热,也可以直接用导热元件一端接触电池外壁,比如直接用铜箔片于电池外壁进行接触,也可以进行导热。同样,导热元件与导热板也可以用这种方式接触导热。
接线柱一端设置在密封腔体内部,并与电池电极相连,接线柱另一端穿过上盖,暴露在密封腔体外部,与外部极柱连接。接线柱与上盖包裹成型固定。所述电池电极与接线柱连接处可以设置导电隔热介质。导电隔热介质可以是导电橡胶,也可以是其他具有导电隔热性能的介质,目的是为了保证接线柱导电的同时,减少导电柱与外界的热量交换,有利于内部温度的恒定。
所述电池组件内部还可以设置一个隔热支架,隔热支架与电池组件的内壁接触部分是隔热材料制成的。所述电池可以设置在隔热支架上,所述用于连接可伸缩部件的一端的固定装置,可以与密封腔体内的隔热支架一体成型设置,也可以单独设置在密封腔体的内部,通过连接件等方式连接或固定在隔热支架上。固定装置和隔热支架优选由隔热材料制成。而且固定装置和隔热支架与内壁的接触面积越小越好,因为与内壁的接触面积越小,与内壁的热量交换也就越少,越有利于内部温度的恒定。
如图9所示,本发明实施例所述的电池组件的温控方法,包括以下步骤:
(1)封闭电池组件的上盖与下盖,将密封腔体内部抽成真空状态,设定低温阈
值a和/或高温阈值b;
(2)检测电池温度A和外部环境温度B,并与预设的温度阈值比较;
(3)根据第(2)步的比较结果,温控装置控制限位装置,使限位装置在导热和非导热两种状态之间进行切换,限位装置处于导热状态时,导热元件处于与密封腔体外部进行热量交换的位置;限位装置处于非导热状态时,导热元件处于不能与密封腔体外部进行热量交换的位置。
(4)重复步骤(2)(3)。
其中步骤(1)中的低温阈值a和/或高温阈值b可以根据电池的性能来设定,电池一般在一定的温度范围内可以发挥其最佳性能,我们可以根据这个温度范围,设定低温阈值a和/或高温阈值b;可以在电池组件组装制作完成时,就将密封腔体内部的电池温度设定在a<电池温度A<b。

其中,步骤(1)中,根据实际情况设定低温阈值a和/或高温阈值b,比如可以根据电池组件内的组件正常工作的温度范围设定低温和高温阈值,或者设置仅设置一个低温阈值或只设置一个高温阈值。在初始状态,设定完低温阈值a和/或高温阈值b之后,电池组件的密封腔体的初始温度可以设定在高温阈值b和低温阈值a之间。这样有利于保持电池的性能在最佳状态。
具体地,根据本发明的一个实施例,所述步骤(3)包括:
当环境温度B≤低温温度阈值a时,如果B<电池温度A<b,进入步骤(3a);如果电池温度A≥高温温度阈值b或电池温度A≤环境温度B,进入步骤(3b);

(3b)温控装置控制限位装置,使限位装置处于非导热状态,导热元件不能同时接触电池外壁和上盖/下盖内壁。
具体地,根据本发明的另一个实施例,所述步骤(3)包括:
当低温温度阈值a<初始环境温度B<高温温度阈值b时,如果电池温度A>环境温度B,进入步骤(3a);如果电池温度A<环境温度B,进入步骤(3b);

(3b)温控装置控制限位装置,使限位装置处于非导热状态,导热元件不能同时接触电池外壁和上盖/下盖内壁。
除了上述几种情况外,还可以根据需要设置其他的比较规则,使得在电池或上盖/下盖检测到的温度与低温阈值和/或高温阈值相比较,根据预先设定的规则,温控装置控制限位装置使导热元件实现不同的状态。低温阈值和高温阈值可以根据实际情况选择不同的数值。
以下通过具体的实施例说明本发明技术方案的实现过程。
实施例1:
如图1所示,为电池组件的实施例一的示意图。所述上盖1与下盖2封闭成真空密封腔体,所述锂电池3固定设置在密封腔体内部的隔热支架5上。可伸缩部件为电动伸缩部件15,设置于固定板10上,电动伸缩部件15与锂电池3电连接(图中未示出),依靠锂电池3为其供电。导热元件为导热片4,导热片4与锂电池3接触的一 端环绕或部分环绕接触锂电池3外壁,导热片4的可与下盖2内壁接触的一端设置有导热板7,伸缩臂16的一端与导热板7连接,所述伸展臂16处于伸展状态时,可以使得与其伸展臂16连接的导热板7接触下盖2内壁。电动伸缩部件15与温控电路连接(图上未示出),温控电路的温度检测触头可以设置在电池3外壁,和下盖2内壁上,分别用于检测电池温度A和外部环境温度B。
首先对温控电路设定一个低温阈值,比如a=0;高温阈值,比如b=30。电池组件应用到汽车上,作为汽车启动用电池组件。汽车启动用电池组件在工厂内组装完毕时,首先封闭上盖1与下盖2,通过真空抽取口将密封腔体内部抽成真空状态,将其密封腔体内保持在正常温度的真空状态下,即0<电池温度A<30。当在户外使用时,温控电路检测到外部环境温度B≤0时,为低温环境下使用该汽车启动用电池组件,初始状态当0≤电池温度≤30时,温控电路反向导通,伸展臂16实现收缩,使得导热板7与下盖2内壁分离,由于封闭腔体内部空气为真空状态,电池3与下盖2内壁也不产生热量交换,封闭腔体内部的热量无法散发出去,温度就可以保持在一个固定的值,避免温度降低影响电池的性能;如果电池工作,产生热量使得电池温度升高。当检测到电池温度A>30时,温控电路正向导通,伸展臂16实现伸展,使得导热板7与下盖2内壁接触,电池的热量可以通过导热元件传递到外部。
该实施例中,还可以将导热片4分成多个的单独部分,通过电动伸缩部件15的伸缩运动,可以将多个导热片4拼接到一起,互相接触,实现导热和非导热状态。
实施例2:
如图2所示,为本发明实施例二的电池组件的主视图。

首先对温控电路设定一个低温阈值a,比如a=0;设定一个高温阈值b,比如b=30。当汽车启动用电池组件在工厂内组装完毕时,首先封闭上盖1与下盖2,通过真空抽取口将密封腔体内部抽成真空状态,将其密封腔体内保持在正常温度的真空状态下,即0<电池温度A<30。当温控开关6检测到环境温度B≥30时,为在高温环境下使用。初始如果电池温度A<环境温度B,温控开关6导通,电磁铁9产生磁力,吸引设置在导热板7上相应位置的磁性金属片,压缩弹簧8牵引导热板7远离下盖2内壁,使得导热板7与下盖2内壁脱离接触,封闭腔体外部的热量无法进入内部,电池温度就可以保持在一个固定的值,避免温度升高影响电池的性能。当电池开始工作状态,产生热量,电池温度逐渐上升,温控开关6检测到电池温度A≥环境温度B时,温控开关6断开,电磁铁9磁力消失,压缩弹簧8带动导热板7顶住下盖2内壁,使得导热板7与下盖2内壁接触,锂电池3产生的热量可以通过与锂电池3连接的导热片4传递到下盖2内壁,再通过下盖2外壁散发到外部,实现热量的扩散,降低封闭腔体内部电池的温度。
实施例3

当温控开关6检测到环境温度B≤0时,为低温环境下使用该汽车启动用电池组件,当检测到0≤电池温度≤30时,温控开关6断开,电磁铁9不产生磁力,压缩弹簧8处于原始状态,导热板7与下盖2内壁脱离接触,封闭腔体内部的热量无法散发出去,电池温度就可以保持在一个固定的值,避免温度降低影响电池的性能。如果电池工作,产生热量使得电池温度升高;当检测到电池温度A>30时,温控开关6导通,电磁铁9产生磁力,吸引设置在固定板13上相应位置的磁性金属片,使得固定板13沿着导柱12径向发生位移,挤压压缩弹簧8,带动导柱12向下盖2内壁方向运动,与下盖2内壁接触,锂电池3产生的热量可以通过与锂电池3连接的导热片4传递到下盖2内壁,再散发到外部,实现热量的扩散,降低封闭腔体内部电池的温度。
