具体实施方式
如图1所示,本申请提供了一种电池包100,包括电池阵列101,电池阵列101包括多个单体电池102,单体电池102包括长度L、厚度D以及介于所述长度L和厚度D之间的高度H;多个单体电池102沿厚度方向排列且单体电池102之间通过结构胶1011粘接;两第一加强板104,两第一加强板104相对设置并沿单体电池102的排列方向粘接在电池阵列101的两表面上,以用于约束单体电池102之间的相对位置。
现有技术中,多个单体电池102首先组装成电池模组,多个电池模组通过紧固件或结构胶粘接组装成电池包100,电池包100内的电池和结构比较分散,紧固件和电池之间的缝隙,电池和电池之间的缝隙,紧固件和紧固件之间的缝隙,都存在很多受力薄弱点,一旦整个电池包100受到外部的挤压或撞击作用,这些受力薄弱点由于外力作用首先遭到破坏,失去了紧固件和粘胶的紧固作用,整个电池包100也会迅速遭到破坏。
为了抵抗外力的破坏,在相关技术中,通过提高电池包100壳体的强度,使其能够抵抗外力冲击,为了提高电池包100的强度,要么使用更高强度的钢或者更厚的托盘103底板1035或者是把托盘103设置成具有空腔的多层结构,空腔结构里面设置加强筋,但无论是哪一种实现方式,会使得整个电池包100的重量增加或者电池包100的有限利用空间减少,电池包100的能量密度降低。
在本申请中,单体电池102之间粘接形成电池阵列101,在电池阵列101的沿单体电池102排列方向的两个相对表面上粘接第一加强板104,两第一加强板 104用于约束多个单体电池102之间的相对位置,且可将多个单体电池102连接成一个整体结构,该整体结构可以消除单体电池102之间由于缝隙存在的薄弱点,使得电池包100设计成为一个具有极大刚性的一个结构件。另一方面,两第一加强板104和位于两第一加强板104之间的电池阵列101构成类蜂窝状的结构,从力学角度分析,该蜂窝结构能以最少的材料获得最大的受力,当电池阵列101承受垂直于第一加强板104的载荷时,第一加强板104和电池阵列101协调变形。电池包100的刚度和强度大幅提高,机械安全可靠性提升。
在本申请中,如图14所示,单体电池102为长方体结构的方形电池,包括在厚度方向相对的两个第一表面,以及在高度方向相对的两个第二表面和在长度方向相对的两个第三表面,第一表面的面积大于第二表面的面积且第一表面的面积大于第三表面的面积。
单体电池102沿厚度方向排列,且单体电池102之间采用结构胶固定粘接,即,单体电池102的第一表面之间相互粘接;换句话说,单体电池102之间采用大面对大面的方式排列且粘接,由此可以提高单体电池102的粘接面积,增大单体电池102之间的粘接力,
在单体电池102的排列方向上,单体电池102与单体电池102之间容易发生错位移动,两个第一加强板104沿单体电池102的排列方向粘接在电池阵列101的两个相对表面上,便于约束单体电池102之间的相对位置。
在本申请中,两第一加强板104可以粘接在单体电池102的两个第二表面上,也可以粘接在单体电池102的两个第三表面上。
在本申请中,由于单体电池102的长度大于高度,且高度大于厚度,由长度和厚度组成的第二表面的面积要大于由高度和厚度构成的第三表面的面积,为了增加粘接力,优选的,两第一加强板104粘接在单体电池102的第二表面上。
在本申请中,可以所有的单体电池102的沿排列方向的两个表面均与第一加强板104粘接,也可只有部分单体电池102的沿排列方向的两个表面均与第一加强板104直接粘接。
也就是说,在本申请中,可以一部分电池的两个第二表面或两个第三表面与第一加强板104粘接,另一部分单体电池102的两个第二表面或两个第三表面与第一加强板104粘接未与第一加强板104粘接。
为了提高粘接强度,与两个第一加强板104直接粘接的单体电池102的数量不小于电池阵列101中所含有的单体数量的二分之一。
对于电池阵列101中的至少一个单体电池102来讲,可以该单体电池102的两个第二表面或者两个第三表面均与两个第一加强板104粘接;也可以,该单体电池102的两个第二表面或两个第三表面中的一个表面与第一加强板104粘接;另一个未与第一加强板104粘接。
在本申请中,单体电池102的两个第二表面或两个第三表面的整个区域全部与第一加强板104粘接,也可一部分单体电池102的部分第二表面或部分第三表面与第一加强板104粘接。
为了提高整个电池包100的强度,本申请优选电池阵列101中所有单体电池102的两个第二表面或两个第三表面均与第一加强板104粘接,由此可以最大程度的提高电池包100的强度和刚度。
在本申请中,两第一加强板104的形状和面积不做特殊限定,只要两第一加强板104满足本身具有一定的强度,能将电池阵列101连接成一个整体,能够增加电池阵列101的结构强度,且不易变形的要求即可。
在一些实施例中,第一加强板104的形状与电池阵列101粘接有该第一加强板104的表面的形状相同且对应设置,由此便于第一加强板104更加容易的贴紧电池阵列101的表面。
在一些实施例中,第一加强板104的面积与电池阵列101粘接有该第一加强板104的表面的面积可以不同,当电池包100强度满足要求,且第一加强板104能将电池阵列101连接成一个整体的情况下,第一加强板104的面积可以小于电池阵列101粘接有该第一加强板104的表面的面积。
在一些实施方式中,至少一个第一加强板104为

型板体,
Figure PCTCN2020122882-appb-000002
型板体的“一”部分与电池阵列101中单体电池102的第二表面贴合设置,

的“丨”部分与电池阵列101单体电池102的第三表面贴合设置,或,

型板体的“一”部分与电池阵列101中单体电池102的第三表面贴合设置,
Figure PCTCN2020122882-appb-000005
的“丨”部分与电池阵列101单体电池102的第二表面贴合设置。
在一些实施方式中,至少一个第一加强板104为“凵”型板体,“凵”型板体的“一”部分与电池阵列101中的中单体电池102的第二表面贴合设置,“凵”型板体的两个“丨”部分与电池阵列101单体电池102的第三表面贴合设置,或,“凵”型板体的“一”部分与电池阵列101中单体电池102的第三表面贴合设置,“凵”型板体的两个“丨”部分与电池阵列101中单体电池102的第二表面贴合 设置。
通过在第一加强板104的边缘设置向电池阵列101侧边面弯折的弯折部,可以提高整个电池阵列101的强度和结构稳定性。
在本申请中,第一加强板104和电池阵列101中的单体电池102构成类蜂窝结构,第一加强板104和电池阵列101中的单体电池102协调变形,当第一加强板104弯曲时会带动单体电池102同时变形,相当于在单体电池102的第一表面增加了附加的弯矩,所以导致蜂窝结构的强度降低,随着第一加强板104的厚度的增加,蜂窝结构强度有所提高,但是存在一个极大值,这是因为第一加强板104的厚度的增加,提高了第一加强板104的抗弯刚度,当第一加强板104的厚度增加到一定程度时,蜂窝结构的强度就会取决于电池阵列101的强度,最终会因为第一加强板104的失稳、塌陷而达到极限承载力,从而导致整个蜂窝结构丧失承载能力,同时,第一加强板104的厚度过大,也不满足电池包100轻量化要求。本申请的发明人经过多次实验发现,当第一加强板104的厚度为0.5~5mm,优选1~3mm,该厚度范围内的第一加强板104能够使得蜂窝结构达到最优的加强效果,进而满足电池包100的强度要求。
在本申请中,第一加强板104均由金属材料制成。
金属材料的第一加强板104,一方面用于对内部的单体电池102形成防护,另一方面,可以起到散热的效果,第一加强板104可以采用热导率高的金属材质,包括但不限于铝、铜及其合金。
在实际的执行中,第一加强板104可以为铝合金材料制成,铝合金材料的导热性能好,且密度小。
如图1、6和14所示,单体电池102的长度方向定义为Y方向延伸,高度方向定义为Z方向,厚度方向定义为X方向。
单体电池102大体为长方体结构,可以理解为单体电池102可为长方体形、正方体形,或局部存在异形,但大致为长方体形、正方体形;或者,部分存在缺口、凸起、倒角、弧度、弯曲,但整体呈近似长方体形、正方体形。
在一些实施方式中,单体电池102满足:600mm≤L≤2500mm,且10≤L/D≤208。
单体电池102的长度较长,厚度较薄,可将单体电池102看成一个强度较大的刚性件,可以更好地在壳体内承担加强梁的作用,减小壳体中加强筋的使用,这样不仅有利于减轻整个电池包100的重量,还可以极大地简化壳体的结构,从 而有利于提高电池包100的空间利用率以及电池包100的能量密度。
在一些实施例中,在单体电池102的高度方向(即在Z方向上),设有多层电池阵列101,相邻两层电池阵列101之间设有隔板,所述隔板与位于所述隔板两侧的电池阵列101固定粘贴。
在该实施方式中,在两层电池阵列101之间设置隔板可以使得,每一层的电池阵列101和位于电池阵列101上、下表面的隔板或面板形成多个工字梁结构,形成类似的蜂窝结构,电池包100的刚度和强度大幅提高,机械安全可靠性提升。
在一些实施方式中,如图13所示,为了进一步提高电池包100的整体强度,至少两个相邻的单体电池102之间设有第二加强板108。第二加强板108的设置可以更好的吸收电池阵列101在三维方向上受到的冲击力,提升整个电池阵列101的机械强度。
在本申请中,第二加强板108可以为铝板或钢板,第二加强板108的个数不作限制,可以为1个或多个,当第二加强板108的个数为多个时,可以为每两个相邻的单体电池102之间均设置有第二加强板108,也可以为只有部分相邻的单体电池102之间设置第二加强板108。
为了便于单体电池102在整个电池包100中的密堆,在一些实施方式中,第二加强板108的形状可以与单体电池102的外形大体相似,即可以做成“假电芯”。“假电芯”可以理解为,从外观上看,与单体电池102一模一样,但在“假电芯”内部并无有由正极、负极和隔膜组成的电极组件,“假电芯”在此仅仅起到加强的作用。
第二加强板108与位于两侧的单体电池102固定粘贴,从而提高整个电池包100的整体结构。
在一些实施方式中,如图5所示,电池包100还包括上盖105和托盘103,托盘103包括底板1035以及围设在底板1035四周的侧边框,上盖105和托盘103连接以限定出电池容纳腔,电池阵列101位于所述电池容纳腔中。
在一些实施方式中,两第一加强板104分别构成上盖105和底板1035。
换句话说明,电池阵列101的两个表面分别粘接在上盖105和底板1035上。
在该实施方式中,电池阵列101的面向上盖105的表面粘接于上盖105,电池阵列101面向底板1035的表面粘接于底板1035,这样电池阵列101的两个相对的表面均被粘接于电池包100外壳上,且单体电池102之间粘接,由此电池包100的整体性增加,减少了紧固件和电池之间的缝隙,电池和电池之间的缝隙, 紧固件和紧固件之间的缝隙,进而减少了电池包100内的受力薄弱点,提高了整个电池包100的强度和刚度。
在一些实施方式中,其中一个第一加强板104粘接在上盖105的内表面上(图中未画出),另一个第一加强板104粘接在底板1035的内表面上(如图11所示)。该种方式电池阵列101与电池包100外壳间接粘接,方便组装和加工。
在一些实施方式中,上盖105和/或托盘103可以为多层复合结构,可以使电池包100更好的承受整车的冲击,提高结构强度。
在该实施方式中,电池包100底板1035设计可以采用三明治复合材料结构,能承受整个电池模组的结构强度。底板1035设计复合板结构,集成电池底部的支撑强度和底部防石击和磕碰功能。也可集成电池底部的支撑强度功能和液冷功能。
例如,在一些具体的实施方式中,多层复合结构包括两层铝板和夹设在所述两层铝板之间的钢板或发泡铝板;即多层复合结构为铝板/发泡铝板/铝板或多层复合结构为铝板/钢板/铝板。
在另一些具体的实施方式中,多层复合结构包括两层纤维复合层和夹设在所述两层纤维复合层之间的发泡材料层。
发泡材料层包括发泡聚合材料,例如聚氨酯泡沫或酚醛泡沫材料,采用发泡材料层,导热系数低,能起到很好的保温效果,另外发泡材料密度低,与密封盖采用钢板或者铝合金相比,电池包100更加轻量化。
其中,所述纤维复合层包括玻璃纤维层和/或碳纤维层。即多层复合层可以为玻璃纤维层/发泡材料层/玻璃纤维层、碳纤维层/发泡材料层/碳纤维层,或玻璃纤维层/发泡材料层/碳纤维层,将电池包100的上盖105和/或托盘103设计成发泡材料层和分布在发泡材料层内侧和外侧的纤维复合层,纤维层具有很高的抗拉强度和弹性模量,不仅能够承受电池包100内部压力在一定范围内增大时仍然不变形,还能有效的隔火隔热,提高了电池包100在极端情况下的安全性能。
整体式电池包100结构强度可以作为整车结构强度一部分,电池包100可以用来增强整车的结构强度,简化整车车架对电池包100结构强度保护的设计结构,实现整车轻量化的设计要求,降低整车设计和制造成本,提升整车生产效率。
在一些实施方式中,如果直接将托盘103的底板1035设计成多层复合结构,如果一旦托盘103底板1035外力作用损坏时,由于底板1035与单体电池102粘接在一起,底板1035更换起来比较困难,不方便维修。
在本申请一些实施方式中,如图12所示,如在两个第一加强板104分别构成上盖105和底板1035的实施方式中,托盘103底板1035为单层铝板,在托盘103底板1035外表面设置防护板111,防护板111为多层复合结构。防护底板1035可以有效防护动力电池包100的底部石击和磕碰直接对动力电池包100的损伤,以轻量化的设计结构满足底部球击碰撞要求,具有良好的安全可靠性。同时底部防护板111复合材料还具有耐腐蚀、耐老化等环境可靠性;底板1035结构上设计为可拆卸、防护能力强、结构紧凑的结构,为将来方便售后维修,大大降低售后维护成本。
防护板111为多层复合结构同上面描述一致,此处不再赘述。
防护板111和电池包100托盘103边框可设计多种连接固定方式,铆接,自动冲铆,螺栓固定连接等,可自由拆卸,便于维修,保养及检查。
如图6和图7所示,上盖105与侧边框的对应位置有密封槽,密封槽中设有密封胶层;上盖105和托盘103通过密封胶层密封连接。
在该实施方式中,密封槽可以仅设置在上盖105上,也可以仅设置在侧边框上,还可以在上盖105和侧边框上均设置密封槽。
在该实施方式中,上盖105和侧边框的固定还可结合铆钉或螺栓紧固的方式进行密封固定,从而提高整个电池包100的密封性能要求和结构强度要求。
电池侧边框梁与上盖105密封配合处,设计密封槽进行密封,密封胶密封槽可以设计在电池侧边框上面或上盖105上,进而来保证侧边框与上盖105之间的密封和固定。
电池阵列101和所述侧边框的内表面之间填充有结构胶。电池阵列101和侧边框之间的间隙往往成为受力的薄弱点,通过灌封结构胶,将单体电池102电池和边框粘接在一起,提高强度。
如图6、图7所示,在一些实施例中,单体电池102大体为长方体,包括沿长度方向相对设置的第一端和第二端,侧边框包括沿单体电池102长度方向相对设置的第一侧边框1031和第二侧边框1032,单体电池102设置在第一侧边框1031和第二侧边框1032之间,单体电池102的第一端支撑在第一侧边框1031上,单体电池102的第二端支撑在第二侧边框1032上。换言之,单体电池102在第一侧边框1031和第二侧边框1032之间延伸。
单体电池102在第一侧边框1031和第二侧边框1032之间延伸,单体电池102的两端分别支撑在第一侧边框1031和第二侧边框1032上,单体电池102本 身便可用作加强壳体构强度的横梁或纵梁,也就是说,壳体中无需再设置用于加强其结构强度的加强结构,直接通过单体电池102本身便可代替加强结构来保证壳体的结构强度,确保壳体在外力作用下不易发生形变。
在本申请的一些实施例中,第一侧边框1031设置有第一支撑台阶1034,第二侧边框1032设置有第二支撑台阶;单体电池102的第一端支撑在第一支撑台阶1034上,单体电池102的第二端支撑在第二支撑台阶上。
在本申请的一些实施例中,单体电池102的第一端可以直接或间接支撑在第一侧边框1031上,单体电池102的第二端可以直接或间接支撑在第二侧边框1032上。直接的含义是指单体电池102的第一端和第一侧边框1031直接接触配合支撑,和单体电池102的第二端和第二侧边框1032直接接触配合。
如图6和图7所示,电池包100还包括支撑结构,单体电池102的第一端通过支撑结构与第一侧边框1031配合支撑上,单体电池102的另一端通过支撑结构与第二侧边框1032之间配合支撑。
此处的相配合指两个侧框边框之间的间距能够配合安装一个单体电池102,这种配合可是间隙配合、过盈配合、紧固配合、固定配合等各种配合方式,从而实现本申请的目的。
通过在单体电池102长度方向的两端与侧边框之间设置支撑结构,可以使得电池阵列101的强度与电池边框的强度起到加强的作用。
侧边框在收到外力的作用,会发生塑性形变,如果单体电池102长度方向的两端与侧边框之间间隙较大,侧边框和单体电池之间无法传递力的作用,侧边框无法利用电池阵列101起到加强的作用,而一旦设置支撑结构后,如果侧边框受外力,单体电池102本身是一个强度很大的刚性件,可借用支撑结构将力传递给侧边框,防止侧边框的塑性形变。
具体的,在一些实施方式中,如图6、7和15所示,支撑结构包括第一支撑块106,单体电池102的第一端的下表面通过第一支撑块106支撑在所述第一侧边框1031上,和/或,单体电池102的第二端的下表面通过第一支撑块106支撑在第二侧边框1032上。
第一支撑块106安装固定在单体电池102长度方向的两端的下表面,一方面在单体电池102排列成电池阵列101时,可以对单体电池102起到定位作用,另一方面还可以对起到对单体电池102与托盘103底板1035起到绝缘隔离的作用;再一方面,侧边框可以通过第一支撑块106和单体电池102的下端面的结构强度 连接在一起,提高整个电池包100的强度和刚度。
单体电池102的第一端的下表面通过第一支撑块106支撑可以支撑在第一侧边框1031上,也可以支撑在第一侧边框1031上的支撑台阶上;单体电池102的第二端的下表面通过第一支撑块106支撑可以支撑在第二侧边框1032上,也可以支撑在第二侧边框1032上的支撑台阶上。
在本申请的一些实施方式中,支撑结构包括第二支撑块107;单体电池102的第一端面向第一侧边框1031的侧表面通过第二支撑块107与第一侧边框1031配合;和第二端包括面向所述下面板的下表面和/或,单体电池102的第二端面向第二侧边框1032的侧表面通过第二支撑块107与第二侧边框1032配合。
单体电池102包括电极端子,电极端子分别设在单体电池102的第一端和第二端;所述支撑结构上设有开孔1071,多个所述单体电池102的电极端子穿过所述开孔1071通过电池连接片110电连接。
在本申请的第一实施方式中,如图10和14所示,电池包100还包括绝缘隔板109,绝缘隔板109位于支撑结构和所述侧边框的内表面之间。绝缘隔板用于隔绝电池连接片110和电极端子与侧边框导通,发生短路和安全问题。
如图7和图15所示,第二支撑结构安装在电极端子侧面,可以用来固定单体电池102的电池连接片100和柔性电路板FPC。
单体电池102的电极端子也是受力薄弱点,第二支撑块107可以对电极端子起到保护,在无第二支撑块107的情况下,侧边框受到外力撞击或挤压后后会直接作用电极端子,容易造成电池包100的失效。
在本申请中,对支撑结构的具体结构不作限定,只要支撑结构具有一定的强度,能抵抗外力变形,在一些实施方式中,支撑结构的材料包括聚醚类塑料(PPS)、玻璃纤维、聚碳酸酯类中的一种或多种。
在本申请的一些实施例中,侧边框包括沿单体电池102排列方向相对设置有第三侧边框1033和第四侧边框,多个单体电池102并列排布在第三侧边框1033和第四侧边框之间,第三侧边框1033和第四侧边框分别与邻近的单体电池102粘贴固定。
第三侧边框1033和第四侧边框采用结构将电池阵列101和侧边框形成一个整体,电池侧边框对电池阵列101沿单体电池102的排列方向夹紧。
也就是说,第三侧边框1033向邻近第三侧边框1033设置的单体电池102施加朝向第四侧边框的作用力,第四侧边框向邻近第四侧边框设置的单体电池102 施加朝向第三侧边框1033的作用力,以使多个单体电池102能够紧密地排布在第三侧边框1033和第四侧边框之间,多个单体电池102之间能够相互贴合。此外,第三侧边框1033和第四侧边框可以对多个单体电池102进行限位,特别是当单体电池102发生少量膨胀时,可以对单体电池102起到缓冲和提供向内压力的作用,防止单体电池102膨胀量和变形量过大。
为进一步解决电池阵列101的膨胀问题,第三侧边框1033和/所述第四侧边框上设置有加强梁,加强梁可与临近的单体的外表面贴紧或预留一定的间隙,起到电池阵列101在膨胀时的限位作用。
托盘103的侧边框和底板1035之间采用结构胶粘贴,也可以直接焊接,或者螺栓连接,侧边框可以是整体式框架,也可以为分体式。在本申请中,优选侧边框分体式,即,第一侧边框1031、第二侧边框1032、第三侧边框1033、第四侧边框分体的,在两个侧边框连接部位可通过紧固件进一步加强。
下面,以单体电池102为长方体电池,单体电池102的电极端子设在单体电池102沿长度方向的两端;第一侧边框1031、第二侧边框1032、第三侧边框1033、第四侧边框分体式为例,两第一加强板104分别构成电池包的上盖105和底板1035为例,说明电池包100的组装方式:
步骤1:多个单体电池102沿厚度方向排布成电池阵列,单体电池102的高度方向对齐,单体电池102的长度方向对齐;单体电池102之间采用结构胶1011粘接,单体电池102的排列方向设为X方向;单体电池102长度方向设为Y方向
步骤2:沿X方向,电池阵列101的最外侧两个单体电池102的面积最大的两个相对的第一表面分别粘接第三侧边框1033和第四侧边框;(此方向非电极端子引出方向)
步骤3:沿Y方向,在电池阵列101的两个端面设置第一侧边框1031和第二侧边框1032;
步骤4:第一侧边框1031和第二侧边框1032与第三侧边框1033和第四侧边框的连接部采用焊接或者紧固件(螺栓等)连接的方式连接起来;
步骤4:在电池阵列101沿单体电池102排列方向的两个相对表面粘接两第一加强板104;
步骤5:第一加强板104与第一侧边框1031和第二侧边框1032与第三侧边框1033和第四侧边框的连接处采用结构胶或者紧固件连接起来,其中一个第一加强板104为电池包100的上盖105;另一个第一加强板104为电池包100的底 板1035;
步骤6:在底板1035外表面增设防护板111;
步骤7:在电池阵列101与侧边框的间隙处填充结构胶或设置支撑结构。
从以上组装方式,可以看出,单体电池102的六个面都有很强的结构强度,将电池包100设计整体式结构,刚度和强度大幅提高,机械安全可靠性极大提升。整体式电池包100结构强度可以作为整车结构强度一部分,电池包100可以用来增强整车的结构强度,简化整车车架对电池包100结构强度保护的设计结构,实现整车轻量化的设计要求,降低整车设计和制造成本,提升整车生产效率。
在本申请中,电池包100还包括电池管理系统。
