请参阅图3，所述保护片30设有多个第二通孔31。多个所述第二通孔31与所述第一通孔11对应设置以使所述壳体10内外的气体能够通过所述膜片20交换达到平衡。可以理解，其他实施例中，所述膜片20可以不具备透气功能，多个所述第二通孔31也可以省略。
请参阅图2，所述外壳100’还包括连接件40，所述连接件40的两端分别连接所述保护片30和所述壳体10。具体地，所述连接件40为尼龙绳，但不限于此。当所述电池模组在异常情况下，所述保护片30脱离所述壳体10时，所述连接件40使所述保护片30不会脱出伤人或损坏使用所述电池模组的电子装置内的其他元件。可以理解，其他实施例中，所述连接件40也可以省略。例如，所述保护片30为橡胶软质材料制成时，所述保护片30脱出所述壳体10时不会造成破坏，所述连接件40可以省略。
请参阅图3，所述第一通孔11为圆形孔，所述支撑部15大致呈十字交叉的片状结构，但不限于此。例如，如图4A所示，在另一实施例中，所述第一通孔11为圆形孔。所述支撑部15为一环形片，与分布于所述环形片周围并与所述环形片相接的三个片状结构结合形成。如图4B所示，在另一实施例中，所述第一通孔11大致为方形孔，所述支撑部15大致呈十字交叉的片状结构。如图4C所示，在另一实施例中，所述第一通孔11大致为圆形孔，所述支撑部15为三个分别与所述第一通孔11的内壁相接的半环片。
第三实施例
请同时参阅图5和图6，电池模组包括外壳100”及设置于所述外壳100”内的电池组。所述外壳100”与第二实施例中所述外壳100’的结构大致相同，两者之间的区别在于，所述壳体10无所述支撑部15，所述膜片20位于所述壳体10内。部分所述保护片30通过所述第一通孔11与所述膜片20连接。且当所述壳体10的内部气压达到所述阈值时，所述保护片30在所述壳体10的内部气压的作用下断开与所述膜片20的连接，能够避免电池模组发生爆炸。
当所述电池模组在异常情况下发生热失控并剧烈产气时，将使所述外壳100”的内部压力急剧上升，所述膜片20与所述壳体10之间断开连接，所述膜片20与所述保护片30断开连接。所述膜片20和所述保护片30分别脱离所述壳体10。所述内部空间的大量气体能够迅速通过所述第一通孔11以将所述壳体10内部的气体迅速排到壳体10的外部。
可以理解，在其他实施例中，如图7所示，所述第一通孔11也可以设置所述支撑部15。相应地，所述保护片30朝向所述膜片20设置多个突出部33。所述突出部33能够避开所述支撑部15并通过所述第一通孔11与所述膜片20连接。
第四实施例
请同时参阅图8和图9，电池模组包括防爆阀200、外壳(图未示)及设置于所述外壳内的电池组。防爆阀200包括阀体201、所述膜片20和所述保护片30。所述阀体201用于安装于所述外壳上，所述外壳具有内部空间。所述阀体201上设有多个安装孔2011。利用多个紧固件(图未示)分别通过所述安装孔2011与所述外壳连接以使所述阀体201固定于所述外壳上。
请参阅图9，所述阀体201设有第一通孔11。所述第一通孔11连通所述外壳的内部空间。所述膜片20设置于所述第一通孔11上方，且与所述阀体 201连接。所述保护片30与所述膜片20连接，且所述膜片20位于所述保护片30与所述第一通孔11之间。当所述外壳的内部气压大于外部气压并达到所述阈值时，所述膜片20在所述外壳的内部气压的作用下脱离所述阀体201以露出所述第一通孔11，从而使所述外壳内的气体迅速排出到所述外壳外。
结合上述第一至第四实施例可以看出，通过在所述壳体10或所述阀体201上设置所述膜片20，当所述壳体10或所述外壳的内部压力急剧上升，所述膜片20脱离所述壳体10或所述阀体201，从而使所述电池模组内部的压力能够通过第一通孔11迅速排放到其外部，能够避免电池模组发生爆炸，进而提高了所述电池模组的安全可靠性。
以上所述仅为本申请的较佳实施例而已，并不用以限制本申请，凡在本申请的精神和原则之内所作的任何修改、等同替换和改进等，均应包含在本申请的保护范围之内。
