Description

二次电池 技术领域
本申请涉及储能器件技术领域，尤其涉及一种二次电池。
背景技术
电动汽车和储能电站等一般需要使用具有大容量的二次电池作为电源。这些二次电池除了具有高容量，还应当具有良好的安全性才能达到使用标准和满足人们的需求。
一方面，当二次电池被导体从外部穿过时，电芯内部存在正极片与负极片之间短路的情况，这时，通常在顶盖片与极柱之间设置一个电阻，并且该电阻的电阻值通常较大，以减小通过正极片以及负极片的短路电流，以免造成电芯失控。
另一方面，当二次电池在快速充电或大功率放电过程中，内部会过度产热，并且电解液可能分解，这种热的产生以及电解液的分解使得二次电池内部的压力增大，可能导致二次电池着火和爆炸，这时，往往借助一个外短路结构，例如，在顶盖片上连接接触片，在极柱上连接导电片，接触片动作与导电片电接触以将二次电池的正极片和负极片之间短路，并且，短路电路中串联有熔断部，使得短路电流能够将熔断部熔断，切断电流回路，停止二次电池的充、放电状态。
然而，上述两方面使得在电阻阻值的选取上出现了矛盾，一方面要求电阻较大，以减小短路电路，另一方面，又要求电阻较小，使得短路电流能够将熔断部熔断。
相关技术中，还可以通过在二次电池中设置两个接触片来解决上述矛盾，但是，这对两个接触片动作的一致性要求较高，否则，如果两个接触片中的其中一个不能动作，就会降低二次电池的安全性。

此处的附图被并入说明书中并构成本说明书的一部分，示出了符合本申请的实施例，并与说明书一起用于解释本申请的原理。
具体实施方式
下面通过具体的实施例并结合附图对本申请做进一步的详细描述。下面通过具体的实施例并结合附图对本申请做进一步的详细描述。文中所述“前”、“后”、“左”、“右”、“上”、“下”均以附图中的二次电池的放置状态为参照。
如图1-8所示，本申请实施例提供了一种二次电池，该二次电池包括第一端子11和第二端子21，第一端子11与第二端子21可以与外电路连接形成电流回路，二次电池作为外电路中的电源，向外界输出电能。
其中，第一端子11可以用作正极端子，相应地，第二端子21用作负极端子，反之亦可。下面，本申请以第一端子11作为正极端子(第一极片为正极片)、第二端子21作为负极端子(第二极片为负极片)为例对本申请提供的二次电池进行详细描述。
如图1所示，二次电池通常包括电极组件和壳体(图中均未示出)以及顶盖片41，壳体与顶盖片41可以通过焊接等方式盖合形成容纳腔，电极组件被收容在容纳腔内。
电极组件通常包括第一极片和第二极片，第一极片上具有第一极 耳，第二极片上具有第二极耳，第一极片经由第一极耳与第一端子11电连接，第二极片经由第二极耳与第二端子21电连接，使得电能最终由电极组件向外界输出。
如图1所示，本申请实施例提供的二次电池还包括导电片22、接触片12以及电阻构件24。
一方面，接触片12附接于第一端子11，导电片22电连接于第二端子21，当二次电池的内部压力超过基准压力时，接触片12在气压的作用下动作并与导电片22接触，以形成通过第一极片、第一端子11、接触片12、导电片22、第二端子21以及第二极片的电连接路径。
其中，接触片12和第一端子11可以是一体式结构，也可以是分体式结构；导电片22与第二端子21的电连接方式可以是两者直接接触并且相互连接，还可以是导电片22通过其他导电体与第二端子21连接，本申请对此不作限定，只要导电片22与第二端子21能够实现电流的导通即可。
接触片12在气压作用下动作并与导电片22接触的方式可以是两者之间直接接触，或者是接触片12与导电片22之间设置其他导电体使得接触片12和导电片22间接接触。
根据以上的描述，二次电池在充、放电的过程中，当二次电池的内部过度产热或电解液分解，并由此造成电池内部的压力增大时，且内部压力超过基准压力时，接触片12在气压作用下动作并与导电片22接触，使得二次电池形成外短路的状态，由此降低了二次电池爆炸和着火的风险，提高了二次电池的安全性。
另一方面，顶盖片41经由电阻构件24始终与第一端子11电连接，并且，顶盖片41与第二端子21以及导电片22绝缘设置。
当二次电池被导体穿过(例如进行穿钉试验时)造成第一极片与第二极片之间发生短接时，该短路电流流经第二极片、导体、顶盖片41、电阻构件24、第一端子11、第一极片，电阻构件24的设置可以使短路电流显著减小，从而降低二次电池出现热失控等更大危险事故的几率，并提高了二次电池的安全性。
通过上述两方面的设置，接触片12与导电片22接触形成的电连 接路径以及电阻构件24所在的电连接路径分别属于两个不同的短路路径，解决了设置电阻时的矛盾，且对二次电池实现了两方面的保护，提高了二次电池的安全性。
如图2所示，二次电池中还包括第一端子板15，第一端子板15与第一端子11电连接，在此种情况下，可以将电阻构件24串联于第一端子板15和顶盖片31之间，这样，短路电流流经顶盖片31、电阻构件24、第二端子板25以及第二端子21。
相应地，二次电池中还可以包括第二端子板25，导电片22就经由第二端子板25与第二端子21电连接。并且，需要说明的是，第一端子板15以及第二端子板25的设置可以方便第一端子11以及第二端子21与外电路之间的连接，为方便装配而设置，但并非必要。
在上述情况下，电阻构件24可选用柱状电阻，电阻构件24可以被直接固定在第一端子板15和顶盖片41之间，从而方便了电阻构件24的设置。
具体地，根据一个实施例，如图2所示，电阻构件24具有沿其轴向的第一端和第二端，顶盖片41上开设有第一凹部，电阻构件24的第一端嵌设在第一凹部内，第二端与第一端子板15抵靠，这样电阻构件24可以可靠地被固定在第一凹部内。
根据另外一个实施例，还可以在第一端子板15上开设有第二凹部，并将电阻构件24的第二端嵌设在第二凹部内，其第一端与顶盖片41抵靠，电阻构件24同样被可靠固定。
此外，还可以将上述两实施例组合设置，即顶盖片41上开设有第一凹部，并且，第一端子板15上同时开设有第二凹部，电阻构件24的第一端和第二端分别嵌设在第一凹部和第二凹部内。如此设置后，电阻构件24的两端同时被限位，其与第一端子板15以及顶盖片41之间的电连接的可靠性进一步提高。
需要指出的是，第一端子11远离顶盖片31的一端经由第一端子板15、电阻构件24与顶盖片31电连接，靠近顶盖片31的一端通过第一绝缘衬垫17与顶盖片31绝缘，以形成所需的电连接路径。
本领域技术人员应当理解，当二次电池正常操作时，正常电流依 次流经第一端子板15、第一端子11以及第一极片，虽然电阻构件24存在，但不会影响正常操作时二次电池的输出。
电阻构件24的电阻值可以在2欧姆～200000欧姆之间选取，电阻构件24可以选用耐高温电阻，例如，碳化硅电阻和导电陶瓷，碳化硅电阻的阻值为10欧姆，其最高承受温度大于600℃，导电陶瓷的阻值为500欧姆。此外，电阻构件24也可以采用环状结构，并且将其套设在第一端子11上。
通常情况下，第一端子11与第二端子21的一部分分别伸出顶盖片41外，且伸出部分与外电路连接。在一些实施例中，第一端子11也可以不必伸出顶盖片41外，例如，在第一端子11用作正极端子的实施例中，第一端子11可以经由顶盖片41实现与外电路的电连接。并且，将顶盖片41与用作正极的第一端子11电连接时，壳体与顶盖片41均带正电，还可以减小电解液对壳体以及顶盖片41的腐蚀，延长使用寿命。
如图2所示，更确切地，壳体与顶盖片41盖合后形成的容纳腔包括第一腔室S1以及第二腔室S2。具体地，第一腔室S1用于封装电极组件，第二腔室S2用于为接触片12提供动作空间，且第一腔室S1与第二腔室S2通过接触片12隔开。当第一腔室S1的内部压力超过基准压力时，气体压力作用于接触片12，并推动其动作。
动作后的接触片12能够与导电片22实现电接触，其中，导电片22位于顶盖片41远离电极组件的一侧。导电片22可以全部位于第二腔室S2的内部，也可以全部位于第二腔室S2的外部。当导电片22全部位于第二腔室S2的外部时，接触片12与导电片22电接触时产生的热量能够更方便地被传导分散。
在图2所示的实施例中，导电片22的一部分设置在第二腔室S2内，其余部分位于第二腔室S2外，此方案兼顾便于散热和便于实现与接触片12的电接触这两方面而设置。
具体地，如图1-2所示，接触片12附接于第一端子11上，导电片22设置在顶盖片41的上方且与第二端子21连接，导电片22从第二端子21处朝向第一端子11的一侧延伸，顶盖片41上开设有通孔 413，导电片22具有凸向接触片12的凸出部分，该凸出部分即为与动作后的接触片12电接触的接触部分221，该接触部分221伸入通孔413并位于第二腔室S2内，接触部分221的设置方便了导电片22的散热以及导电片22与接触片12之间间隔的设置，此间隔使得两者之间在接触片12动作时能够相互接触、在接触片12动作前能够相互绝缘。
进一步，根据一个实施例，如图3-4所示，接触片12包括凸头121和翻转部122，其中，翻转部122为片状环面结构，这有利于接触片12在气压作用下实现动作，凸头121连接于翻转部122且朝向顶盖片41的一侧凸出，当接触片12动作时，接触片12能够通过凸头121与接触部分221接触。该方案中，凸头121的设置可以在与接触部分221之间留有适当间隔的基础上减小接触片12的动作行程，提高二次电池的安全性。进一步地，凸头121和翻转部122可以为一体式结构。
且更进一步，如图5所示，接触部分221具有第一接触平面221a，相应地，凸头121具有第二接触平面121a，当接触片12与导电片22接触，第一接触平面221a与第二接触平面121a电接触。这一方案可以使得接触片12与导电片22接触时具有较大的接触面积，以保证两者之间可靠的电性接触。
对于导电片22而言，导电片22固定不动，接触部分221朝向接触片12的一侧表面作为第一接触平面221a。对于接触片12而言，接触片12动作后会发生变形，考虑到凸头121处的变形量相对较小，该凸头121朝向导电片22的一侧表面基本保持平面状态，因此，该凸头121朝向导电片22的表面可以作为第二接触平面121a。
在图1-2所示的实施例中，导电片22的一端连接在第二端子21处，另一端朝向第一端子11的一侧延伸，因此，导电片22为一端固定、另一端为自由端的悬臂结构，在与接触片12接触的过程中，会导致导电片22在接触力的作用下产生位移，造成两者接触不良。为了克服上述缺陷，可以优选在导电片22的自由端设置连接结构，以将导电片22的自由端固定，该连接结构可以通过粘接的结构实现， 也可以通过相互配合的卡合结构实现。
如图2所示，二次电池中包括绝缘构件23，绝缘构件23包覆在导电片22的外部，且一端固定在第二端子21处，一方面，通过绝缘构件23的包覆，使得两者嵌设在一起，绝缘构件23朝向第一端子11延伸并被固定在第一端子11处，如此设置后，通过绝缘构件23的支撑，使得导电片22的悬臂结构得到缓解，降低了导电片22与接触片12接触不良的现象。
另一方面，通过绝缘构件23的包覆，导电片22上仅裸露出与接触片12接触的接触部分221，以及与第二端子21实现电连接的部分，以此避免与顶盖片41的导通，同时实现了导电片22与顶盖片41的绝缘。
第二端子21与顶盖片41之间通过第二绝缘衬垫27绝缘。其中，绝缘材料可以选用橡胶、石棉等。
且相应地，如图1所示，绝缘构件23上还开设有供电阻构件24穿过的孔231，以实现电阻构件24与顶盖片41以及第一端子板15的导通。
如图3-4所示，第一端子11包括相连接的端子本体111以及延伸部112，延伸部112朝向第二端子21的一侧延伸，延伸部112上开设有开口112a，翻转部122的外边缘密封连接在延伸部112上，以使接触片12密封开口112a，且将第一腔室S1与第二腔室S2隔开，此开口112a与顶盖片41上的通孔413正对，凸头121设置在翻转部122的中间部位，这样，当接触片12动作，凸头121经由开口112a以及通孔413与接触部分221接触。其中，用于与极片以及外电路实现电连接的部分位于端子本体111上，延伸部112用于与接触片12连接，方便了接触片12在第一端子11上的设置。
在图3-4所示的实施例中，端子本体111与延伸部112为一体式结构，但是，需要说明的是，在其它一些实施例中，端子本体111与延伸部112还可以采用分体式结构，本申请对此不作限定。
如图3-4所示，延伸部112上向靠近顶盖片41的一侧延伸有柱状体112b，柱状体112b具有沿其轴向延伸的空腔，且该空腔贯穿延 伸部112，开口112a即形成于该空腔。柱状体112b的内壁为阶梯结构，该阶梯结构在柱状体112b的内壁上形成阶梯面112c，该阶梯面112c与翻转部122的外边缘的表面贴合定位，两者定位配合后可以通过对缝焊接的方式或粘接等方式固定以实现密封连接。
此外，为了保证接触片12快速响应二次电池的内部压力，二次电池还包括密封在第一腔室S1与第二腔室S2之间的密封构件13。根据一个实施例，如图2所示，密封构件13密封连接于延伸部112与顶盖片41之间，并且密封构件13具有与顶盖片41密封接触的第一密封面131以及与延伸部112密封接触的第二密封面132。
具体地，密封构件13为环形结构，密封构件13套装在柱状体112b外，柱状体112b连同密封构件13嵌设在通孔413内，密封构件13与通孔413的内壁以及柱状体112b的外壁密封接触，从而使得密封构件13形成沿顶盖片41的延伸方向相对设置的第一密封面131和第二密封面132。
此外，如图6所示，密封构件13还可以环绕通孔413以及开口112a设置，当密封构件13分别与顶盖片41以及延伸部112密封接触，即形成沿二次电池的高度方向相对设置的第一密封面131和第二密封面132。
在其它一些实施例，如图7所示，密封构件13还可以密封连接于接触片12与顶盖片41之间，并且密封构件13具有与顶盖片41密封接触的第一密封面131以及与接触片12密封接触的第二密封面132，并且，第一密封面131与第二密封面132沿二次电池的高度方向相对设置。
在图7所示的实施例中，只要对顶盖片41、延伸部112以及接触片12上述三者稍加变型，还可以使得第一密封面131与第二密封面132沿顶盖片41的延伸方向相对设置，此密封结构的原理与图2中示出的密封结构的原理基本相同，此处不再赘述。
另外，如图8所示，还可利用设置在第一端子11和顶盖片41之间的塑胶件来充当密封构件13，此方案可以减少二次电池中零部件的使用数量，简化装配工艺。
如图2所示，由于壳体和顶盖片41盖合后形成的第二腔室S2的空间有限，因此，接触片12的动作空间受到限制，为了增大这一空间，优选顶盖片41包括本体部分411和隆起部分412，隆起部分412朝向远离壳体的一侧突出，使得第二腔室S2由接触片12与隆起部分412围成，并将通孔413设置在隆起部分412上。这样一来，第二腔室S2的空间得到了扩展，此空间扩展后的意义在于，当接触片12动作，该空间内的空气压缩比率减小，接触片12动作时的阻力减小，有利于提高接触片12动作时的灵敏度。
本申请还包括熔断构件14，如图1所示，熔断构件14串联于通过第一极片、第一端子11、接触片12、导电片22、第二端子21以及第二极片的电连接路径中，并且，熔断构件14的过流面积小于电连接路径中其余处的过流面积。其中，熔断构件14可以串联于第一极片与第一端子11之间，或者，熔断构件14可以串联于第二极片与第二端子21之间，又或者，熔断构件14设置为两个，其中一者串联于第一极片与第一端子11之间，另一者串联于第二极片与第二端子21之间。通过熔断构件14的设置，使得在该电连接路径中通过短路大电流时能够在熔断构件14处熔断，从而实现电极组件31与外电路之间断路，降低二次电池着火和爆炸的风险。
熔断构件14可以单独设置，也可以与其他零件一体设置。在图1所示的实施例中，二次电池中包括第一连接件16和第二连接件26，第一连接件16连接于第一极片和第一端子11之间，第二连接件26连接于第二极片和第二端子21之间。其中，熔断构件14形成于第一连接件16以及第二连接件26两者中的至少一者上。当二次电池在正常操作时，第一连接件16可以作为连接第一极片与第一端子11的电连接件，第二连接件26作为连接第二极片与第二端子21的电连接件，有利于改善了二次电池的装配工艺性，避免了在装配过程中造成第一极耳311与第二极耳312的变形。然而，当第一极片与第二极片之间短路时，形成于第一连接件16或者第二连接件26的熔断构件14可以发挥熔断作用，切断形成通过第一极片与第二极片的电路。
熔断构件14可以通过在第一连接件16上开设缺口、孔的方式实 现，使得在第一连接件16上形成过流面积小于其余处的过流面积，此较小的过流面积处即为熔断构件14的所在处。
同理，在第二连接件26上形成熔断构件14的方式可以采用上述结构，此处不再赘述。
需要说明，熔断构件14和电阻构件24可同时串联于通过第一极片、第一端子11、接触片12、导电片22、第二端子21以及第二极片的电连接路径中，电阻构件24可减小接触片12与导电片22接触瞬间的短路电流，但减小后的短路电流足以将熔断构件14熔断，从而使得该电连接路径断路。
以上仅针对第一端子11为正极端子，第二端子21为负极端子这一实施例方式进行了说明，但是，本申请不仅限于上述的实施例，例如，还可以将第一端子11用作负极端子，相应地，将第二端子21用作正极端子等。
并且，本领域技术人员应当理解，根据接触片12以及导电件22设置位置的不同，相应地，二次电池中各部件的结构以及设置方式均可得到多种相应的变型方案。
以上所述仅为本申请的优选实施例而已，并不用于限制本申请，对于本领域的技术人员来说，本申请可以有各种更改和变化。凡在本申请的精神和原则之内，所作的任何修改、等同替换、改进等，均应包含在本申请的保护范围之内。
