本申请中出现的“多个”指的是两个以上(包括两个),同理,“多组”指的是两组以上(包括两组),“多片”指的是两片以上(包括两片)。
本申请中,电池单体可以包括锂离子二次电池、锂离子一次电池、锂硫电池、钠锂离子电池、钠离子电池或镁离子电池等,本申请实施例对此并不限定。电池单体可呈圆柱体、扁平体、长方体或其它形状等,本申请实施例对此也不限定。电池单体一般按封装的方式分成三种:柱形电池单体、方体方形电池单体和软包电池单体,本申请实施例对此也不限定。
本申请的实施例所提到的电池是指包括一个或多个电池单体以提供更高的电压和容量的单一的物理模块。例如,本申请中所提到的电池可以包括电池模块或电池包等。电池一般包括用于封装一个或多个电池单体的箱体。箱体可以避免液体或其他异物影响电池单体的充电或放电。
电池单体包括电极组件和电解液,电极组件由正极片、负极片和隔离膜组成。电池单体主要依靠金属离子在正极片和负极片之间移动来工作。正极片包括正极集流体和正极活性物质层,正极活性物质层涂覆于正极集流体的表面,未涂敷正极活性物质层的集流体凸出于已涂覆正极活性物质层的集流体,未涂敷正极活性物质层的集流体作为正极极耳。以锂离子电池为例,正极集流体的材料可以为铝,正极活性物质可以为钴酸锂、磷酸铁锂、三元锂或锰酸锂等。负极片包括负极集流体和负极活性物质层,负极活性物质层涂覆于负极集流体的表面,未涂敷负极活性物质层的集流体凸出于已涂覆负极活性物质层的集流体,未涂敷负极活性物质层的集流体作为负极极耳。负极集流体的材料可以为铜,负极活性物质可以为碳或硅等。为了保证通过大电流而不发生熔断,正极极耳的数量为多个且层叠在一起,负极极耳的数量为多个且层叠在一起。隔膜的材质可以为PP或PE等。此外,电极组件可以是卷绕式结构,也可以是叠片式结构,本申请实施例并不限于此。电池技术的发展要同时考虑多方面的设计因素,例如,能量密度、循环寿命、放电容量、充放电倍率等性能参数,另外,还需要考虑电池的安全性。
对于电池单体来说,主要的安全危险来自于充电和放电过程,同时还有适宜的环境温度设计,为了有效地避免不必要的损失,对电池单体一般会有至少三重保护措施。具体而言,保护措施至少包括开关元件、选择适当的隔离膜材料以及泄压机构。开关元件是指电池单体内的温度或者电阻达到一定阈值时而能够使电池停止充电或者放电的元件。隔离膜用于隔离正极片和负极片,可以在温度上升到一定数值时自动溶解掉附着在其上的微米级(甚至纳米级)微孔,从而使金属离子不能在隔离膜上通过,终止电池单体的内部反应。
泄压机构是指电池单体的内部压力或温度达到预定阈值时致动以泄放内部压力或温度的元件或部件。该阈值设计根据设计需求不同而不同。所述阈值可能取决于电池单体中的正极极片、负极极片、电解液和隔离膜中一种或几种的材料。泄压机构可以采用诸如防爆阀、气阀、泄压阀或安全阀等的形式,并可以具体采用压敏或温敏的元件或构造,即,当电池单体的内部压力或温度达到预定阈值时,泄压机构执行动作或者泄压机构中 设有的薄弱结构被破坏,从而形成可供内部压力或温度泄放的开口或通道。
本申请中所提到的“致动”是指泄压机构产生动作或被激活至一定的状态,从而使得电池单体的内部压力及温度得以被泄放。泄压机构产生的动作可以包括但不限于:泄压机构中的至少一部分破裂、破碎、被撕裂或者打开,等等。泄压机构在致动时,电池单体的内部的高温高压物质作为排放物会从致动的部位向外排出。以此方式能够在可控压力或温度的情况下使电池单体发生泄压,从而避免潜在的更严重的事故发生。
本申请中所提到的来自电池单体的排放物包括但不限于:电解液、被溶解或分裂的正负极极片、隔离膜的碎片、反应产生的高温高压气体、火焰,等等。
电池单体上的泄压机构对电池的安全性有着重要影响。例如,当发生短路、过充等现象时,可能会导致电池单体内部发生热失控从而压力或温度骤升。这种情况下通过泄压机构致动可以将内部压力及温度向外释放,以防止电池单体爆炸、起火。
目前的泄压机构设计方案中,主要关注将电池单体内部的高压和高热释放,即将所述排放物排出到电池单体外部。高温高压的排放物朝向电池单体设置泄压机构的方向排放,并且可更具体地沿朝向泄压机构致动的区域的方向排放,这种排放物的威力和破坏力可能很大,甚至可能足以冲破在该方向上的一个或多个结构,造成安全问题。另外,电池单体内部发生热失控后电池单体内部的高压和高热可能会持续产生,导致持续的安全隐患。
针对上述问题,可以在电池的箱体内设置消防系统,消防系统的消防管道设置在电池单体的设置有泄压机构的壁的上方。泄压机构致动时,消防管道排出消防介质,从而可以对从泄压机构排出的排放物进行降温,降低排放物的危险性;消防介质还可以进一步通过致动后的泄压机构流入到电池单体内部,从而进一步对电池单体降温,增强电池的安全性。例如,可以利用泄压机构致动时,从电池单体内排出的排放物破坏该消防管道,以使得消防管道内的消防介质排出。
本申请实施例中的消防管道用于容纳消防介质,这里的消防介质可以为流体,该流体可以是液体或气体。在泄压机构未破坏该消防管道的情况下,该消防管道中可以不容纳任何物质,而在泄压机构致动的情况下,使得消防管道中容纳消防介质,例如,可以通过开关阀门控制消防介质进入至消防管道中。或者,在泄压机构未被破坏的情况下,该消防管道中也可以始终容纳有消防介质,该消防介质还可以用于调节电池单体的温度。调节温度是指给多个电池单体加热或者冷却。在给电池单体冷却或降温的情况下,该消防管道用于容纳冷却流体以给多个电池单体降低温度,此时,消防管道也可以称为冷却部件、冷却系统或冷却管道等,其容纳的消防介质也可以称为冷却介质或冷却流体,更具体的,可以称为冷却液或冷却气体。可选的,所述消防介质可以是循环流动的,以达到更好的温度调节的效果。可选的,消防介质可以为水、水和乙二醇的混合液或者空气等。
电池在高温高湿环境中,容易在电池的箱体内产生冷凝液,造成安全隐患,影响电池的安全性。具体而言,电池内高温高湿的气体在遇到温度较低的部件,例如电池的箱体内的消防管道时,会产生冷凝液,该冷凝液若滴到电池内的电连接区域,则可能会影响电池的安全性。
鉴于此,本申请提供了一种技术方案,通过在电池内温度较低的部件,例如消防管 道上包覆隔离层,隔离气体与消防管道,这样,降低在消防管道上形成冷凝液的概率,从而减小乃至防止冷凝液对电池中的电连接区域或者其它电气区域造成影响,因此能够增强电池的安全性。
在电池的箱体中,除了上文提到的电池单体以及消防管道外,还可以包括热管理部件、汇流部件以及电池的其他部件。在一些实施例中,箱体中还可以设置用于固定电池单体的结构。箱体的形状可以根据所容纳的多个电池单体而定。在一些实施例中,箱体可以为方形,具有六个壁。
热管理部件是用于容纳流体以给多个电池单体调节温度。这里的流体可以是液体或气体,调节温度是指给多个电池单体加热或者冷却。在给电池单体冷却或降温的情况下,该热管理部件用于容纳冷却流体以给多个电池单体降低温度,此时,热管理部件也可以称为冷却部件、冷却系统或冷却板等,其容纳的流体也可以称为冷却介质或冷却流体,更具体的,可以称为冷却液或冷却气体。另外,热管理部件也可以用于加热以给多个电池单体升温,本申请实施例对此并不限定。可选的,所述流体可以是循环流动的,以达到更好的温度调节的效果。可选的,流体可以为水、水和乙二醇的混合液或者空气等。
汇流部件用于实现多个电池单体之间的电连接,例如并联或串联或混联。汇流部件可通过连接电池单体的电极端子实现电池单体之间的电连接。在一些实施例中,汇流部件可通过焊接固定于电池单体的电极端子。对应于“高压腔”,汇流部件形成的电连接也可称为“高压连接”。
除了汇流部件外,电池内还可以设置用于感测电池单体的状态的传感器件。在本申请实施例中,电池内的电连接可以包括汇流部件形成的电连接和/或传感器件中的电连接。
电池的箱体上还可以设置压力平衡机构,用于平衡箱体内外的压力。例如,当箱体内的压力高于箱体外时,箱体内部的气体可以通过压力平衡机构流到箱体外;当箱体内的压力低于箱体外时,箱体外部的气体可以通过压力平衡机构流入箱体内部。
应理解,以上描述的电池的箱体中的各个部件不应理解为对本申请实施例的限定,也就是说,本申请实施例的用于电池的箱体可以包括上述的部件,也可以不包括上述的部件。
本申请实施例描述的技术方案均适用于各种使用电池的装置,例如,手机、便携式设备、笔记本电脑、电瓶车、电动玩具、电动工具、电动车辆、船舶和航天器等,例如,航天器包括飞机、火箭、航天飞机和宇宙飞船等。
应理解,本申请实施例描述的技术方案不仅仅局限适用于上述所描述的设备,还可以适用于所有使用电池的设备,但为描述简洁,下述实施例均以电动车辆为例进行说明。
例如,如图1所示,为本申请一个实施例的一种车辆1的结构示意图,车辆1可以为燃油汽车、燃气汽车或新能源汽车,新能源汽车可以是纯电动汽车、混合动力汽车或增程式汽车等。车辆1的内部可以设置马达50,控制器40以及电池10,控制器30用来控制电池40为马达50的供电。例如,在车辆1的底部或车头或车尾可以设置电池10。电池10可以用于车辆1的供电,例如,电池10可以作为车辆1的操作电源,用于车辆1的电路系统,例如,用于车辆1的启动、导航和运行时的工作用电需求。在本申请的另一实施例中,电池10不仅仅可以作为车辆1的操作电源,还可以作为车辆1的驱动电源, 替代或部分地替代燃油或天然气为车辆1提供驱动动力。
为了满足不同的使用电力需求,电池可以包括多个电池单体,其中,多个电池单体之间可以串联或并联或混联,混联是指串联和并联的混合。电池也可以称为电池包。可选地,多个电池单体可以先串联或并联或混联组成电池模块,多个电池模块再串联或并联或混联组成电池。也就是说,多个电池单体可以直接组成电池,也可以先组成电池模块,电池模块再组成电池。
如图2所示,箱体可以包括两部分,这里分别称为第一部分箱体111和第二部分箱体112,第一部分箱体111和第二部分箱体112扣合在一起。第一部分箱体111和第二部分箱体112的形状可以根据多个电池单体20组合的形状而定,第一部分箱体111和第二部分箱体112可以均具有一个开口。例如,第一部分箱体111和第二部分箱体112均可以为中空长方体且各自只有一个面为开口面,第一部分箱体111的开口和第二部分箱体112的开口相对设置,并且第一部分箱体111和第二部分箱体112相互扣合形成具有封闭腔室的箱体。多个电池单体20相互并联或串联或混联组合后置于第一部分箱体111和第二部分箱体112扣合后形成的箱体内。
可选地,电池10还可以包括其他结构,在此不再一一赘述。例如,该电池10还可以包括汇流部件,汇流部件用于实现多个电池单体20之间的电连接,例如并联或串联或混联。具体地,汇流部件可通过连接电池单体20的电极端子实现电池单体20之间的电连接。进一步地,汇流部件可通过焊接固定于电池单体20的电极端子。多个电池单体20的电能可进一步通过导电机构穿过箱体而引出。可选地,导电机构也可属于汇流部件。
根据不同的电力需求,电池单体20的数量可以设置为任意数值。多个电池单体20可通过串联、并联或混联的方式连接以实现较大的容量或功率。由于每个电池10中包括的电池单体20的数量可能较多,为了便于安装,可以将电池单体20分组设置,每组电池单体20组成电池模块。电池模块中包括的电池单体20的数量不限,可以根据需求设置。例如,图3为电池模块的一个示例。电池可以包括多个电池模块,这些电池模块可通过串联、并联或混联的方式进行连接。图3中,x方向为电池模块宽度方向,y方向为电池模块的长度方向,z方向为电池模块的高度方向。
如图4所示,为本申请一个实施例的一种电池单体20的结构示意图,电池单体20包括一个或多个电极组件22、壳体211和盖板212。图4中所示的坐标系与图3中的相同。壳体211和盖板212形成外壳或电池盒21。壳体211的壁以及盖板212均称为电池单体20的壁。壳体211根据一个或多个电极组件22组合后的形状而定,例如,壳体211可以为中空的长方体或正方体或圆柱体,且壳体211的其中一个面具有开口以便一个或多个电极组件22可以放置于壳体211内。例如,当壳体211为中空的长方体或正方体时,壳体211的其中一个平面为开口面,即该平面不具有壁体而使得壳体211内外相通。当壳体211可以为中空的圆柱体时,壳体211的端面为开口面,即该端面不具有壁体而使得壳体211内外相通。盖板212覆盖开口并且与壳体211连接,以形成放置电极组件22的封闭的腔体。壳体211内填充有电解质,例如电解液。
该电池单体20还可以包括两个电极端子214,两个电极端子214可以设置在盖板212上。盖板212通常是平板形状,两个电极端子214固定在盖板212的平板面上,两个电极端子214分别为正电极端子214a和负电极端子214b。每个电极端子214各对应设置一 个连接构件23,或者也可以称为集流构件23,其位于盖板212与电极组件22之间,用于将电极组件22和电极端子214实现电连接。
如图4所示,每个电极组件22具有第一极耳221a和第二极耳222a。第一极耳221a和第二极耳222a的极性相反。例如,当第一极耳221a为正极极耳时,第二极耳222a为负极极耳。一个或多个电极组件22的第一极耳221a通过一个连接构件23与一个电极端子连接,一个或多个电极组件22的第二极耳212a通过另一个连接构件23与另一个电极端子连接。例如,正电极端子214a通过一个连接构件23与正极极耳连接,负电极端子214b通过另一个连接构件23与负极极耳连接。
在该电池单体20中,根据实际使用需求,电极组件22可设置为单个,或多个,如图4所示,电池单体20内设置有4个独立的电极组件22。
电池单体20上还可设置泄压机构213。泄压机构213用于电池单体20的内部压力或温度达到阈值时致动以泄放内部压力或温度。泄压机构213可以为各种可能的泄压结构,本申请实施例对此并不限定。例如,泄压机构213可以为温敏泄压机构,温敏泄压机构被配置为在设有泄压机构213的电池单体20的内部温度达到阈值时能够熔化;和/或,泄压机构213可以为压敏泄压机构,压敏泄压机构被配置为在设有泄压机构213的电池单体20的内部气压达到阈值时能够破裂。
图5示出了本申请实施例的电池10的示意性分解图。如图5所示,该电池10可以包括:电池单体20和消防管道30。电池单体20包括上述泄压机构213,该泄压机构213用于该电池单体20的内部压力或温度达到阈值时致动以泄放该内部压力。
作为示例,电池10中可以包括至少一个电池单体20,例如,图5中以电池10包括2×9个电池单体20为例。其中,对于任意一个电池单体20,该电池单体20可以包括上述泄压机构213。
可选地,该泄压机构213可以设置在电池单体20的任意位置。若电池单体20为如图5所示的长方体,则泄压机构213可以设置在该长方体的任意一个壁上。例如,泄压机构213可以设置在图5中每个电池单体20的最上方的壁,即泄压机构213和电池单体20的电极端子可以设置在同一壁上。
消防管道30,用于容纳消防介质,该消防管道30用于在泄压机构213致动时排出消防介质;其中,消防管道30包覆有隔离层31,该隔离层31用于阻隔气体与消防管道30接触产生冷凝液。
具体地,泄压机构213致动时,消防管道30排出消防介质,从而可以对从泄压机构213排出的排放物进行降温,降低排放物的危险性;消防介质还可以进一步通过致动后的泄压机构213流入到电池单体20内部,从而进一步对电池单体20降温,增强电池的安全性。可选的,该消防介质也可以称为冷却介质或冷却流体,更具体的,可以称为消防液或消防气体。另外,可选的,该消防介质可以是循环流动的,以达到更好的温度调节的效果。在一些实施方式中,消防介质可以为水、水和乙二醇的混合液或者空气等。
可选地,在本申请实施例中,消防管道30可以根据实际应用设置为任意形状。例如,对于消防管道30的横截面的形状,可以根据实际应用设置为任意形状。考虑到空间利用率和便于安装,可以将消防管道30设置为如图5所示的扁平的管道,或者也可以设置为其他形状,例如圆柱形管道等。为了便于说明,本申请实施例中以图5所示的形状为例 进行描述。
进一步的,如图5所示,上述消防管道30包覆有隔离层31,该隔离层31用于阻隔气体与消防管道30接触产生冷凝液,从而减小该冷凝液对电池10内的电池单体20、电连接区域以及其它电气结构造成影响。
因此,本申请实施例的电池10,可以包括一个或者多个电池单体20,该电池单体20设置有泄压机构213,该泄压机构213可以在电池单体20内部温度或者压力超过阈值时致动,以泄放内部压力;在与泄压机构213对应的上方设置有消防管道30,在泄压机构213致动时,消防管道30内容纳的消防介质流出并流向电池单体20,以对电池单体20进行降温;同时,该消防管道30包覆有隔离层31,该隔离层31可以用于减少在消防管道30上形成冷凝液的可能性,从而减小冷凝液对电池造成影响,提升电池10的安全性。
可选的,隔离层31除了可以用于阻隔气体与消防管道30以外,该隔离层31的材料还可以为保温隔热材料,其导热系数较小,环境温度以及消防管道30的温度对其影响较小,且高温高湿的气体在该隔离层31的表面也不易形成冷凝液。
在一些实施方式中,若消防管道30中的消防介质为消防液,该隔离层31可为不吸水材质,防止消防管道30在排出消防液后,隔离层31吸收该消防液,影响冷却降温效果,也降低在隔离层31处引入液体的概率,减小液体对电池单体20的以及电池10中的其它电气结构造成影响。
作为示例,上述隔离层31可为闭孔泡棉,该闭孔泡棉中的孔泡均为密闭孔泡,其具有优良的抗冲击性,反弹性,柔软性,隔热性,防水性等优点,便于包覆至消防管道30。
作为示例,上述隔离层31的厚度可以大于1mm,以保证良好的隔热保温性能。且若隔离层31为厚度大于1mm的闭孔泡棉,当消防管道30受到冲击与电池10中的其它部件发生碰撞时,可以起到缓冲作用。
可以理解的是,隔离层31除了可以为闭孔泡棉以外,还可以为其它具有保温、不吸水等特性的隔离材料,其厚度也可以根据实际需求进行设计,本申请实施例对该隔离层31的具体类型以及厚度不做限定。
图6示出了本申请实施例中的另一种电池10的结构示意图。
如图6所示,在本申请实施例中,电池10还包括汇流部件12,该汇流部件12包括汇流单元121和汇流连接端口122。
具体的,汇流部件12包括多个汇流单元121,该多个汇流单元121用于实现电池10中多个电池单体20的电连接,且多个汇流单元121中的每个汇流单元121用于实现相邻电池单体20的电连接,具体地,每个汇流单元121可通过连接相邻电池单体20的电极端子实现电池单体20的电连接。
此外,汇流部件12还包括多个汇流连接端口122,该多个汇流连接端口122用于输出电池10中多个电池单体20的电能。
此处需要说明是,在本申请实施例中,该多个汇流连接端口122为至少一组汇流连接端口122,每一组汇流连接端口122包括一个正极连接端口和一个负极连接端口,用于输出电池10中一组电池单体20的电能,为了方便描述,可以将该一组汇流连接端口122对应的一组电池单体20称之为一个电池单体组。电池10可以包括一个或者多个电池单体组,即对应的包括一组或者多组汇流连接端口122。若电池10包括多个电池单体组, 多组汇流连接端口122通过电连接件相互连接,用于形成电池10的电能输出端口。
作为示例,如图6所示,在一种实施方式中,该电池10包括两个汇流连接端口122,即一组汇流连接端口122,电池10中的多个电池单体20为一个电池单体组。该两个汇流连接端口122可位于一个电池单体组的同一侧。进一步地,在该组汇流连接端口122中,正极连接端口和负极连接端口可相邻设置,用于输出该一个电池单体组的电能。
在本申请实施例中,消防管道30在上述汇流连接端口122对应的区域包覆有隔离层31,以降低冷凝液形成于汇流连接端口122对应的区域的概率,以减小乃至防止冷凝液对该汇流连接端口122造成电气性能的影响。此外,隔离层31还能用于防止消防管道30与连接至汇流连接端口122的电连接件发生搭接,造成短路打火问题,以进一步提升电池10的安全性。
可以理解的是,上述汇流连接端口122用于输出电池10中多个电池单体20的电能,若有冷凝液形成于汇流连接端口122上,一方面会影响汇流连接端口122的电能传输,另一方面,冷凝液也容易对金属材质的汇流连接端口122以及汇流连接端口122之间的电连接件造成腐蚀,进一步影响汇流连接端口122的电气性能。
此外,若冷凝液形成于两个汇流连接端口122之间,且该两个汇流连接端口122之间的电势差较大,则冷凝液会造成两个汇流连接端口122之间的短路,在多个电池单体20中产生大的电流,同时产生大量的热量,导致电池单体20的损坏乃至发生爆炸,引发安全事件。
作为示例,在本申请实施例中,在电池单体20中,泄压机构213和电极端子214均位于电池单体20的第一壁,可以理解的是,多个电池单体20的第一壁位于同一平面上,为了方便描述,下文将多个电池单体20的第一壁所在面称为多个电池单体20的第一面。
可选地,若将图6中的汇流部件12安装于多个电池单体20上,在汇流部件12中,用于连接多个电池单体20的电极端子的汇流单元121可位于上述第一面上,进一步的,汇流连接端口122可位于第一面的边缘,例如,位于第一面的一侧,且为了方便与电连接件连接,该汇流连接端口122可形成为弯折结构,包括位于第一面的第一板和垂直于第一板的第二板。
可选地,消防管道30可设置于上述汇流部件12的上方,即位于第一面的上方,在消防管道30受到泄压机构213排出的排放物的破坏时,其中的消防介质可以在重力作用下排出,对泄压机构213的排放物进行降温冷却。
在本申请实施例中,若汇流连接端口122位于第一面的某一侧,消防管道30中与汇流连接端口122对应的区域包括但不限于消防管道30中位于该某一侧上方的区域,该消防管道30中与汇流连接端口122对应的区域与汇流连接端口122之间的距离较近。
由于该消防管道30中与汇流连接端口122对应的区域与汇流连接端口122之间的距离较近,该对应的区域中若形成冷凝液,容易滴落至汇流连接端口122,影响该汇流连接端口122的电气性能。因此,首要的,需要在该对应的区域包覆隔离层31,降低形成冷凝液的概率。
作为示例,图7示出了本申请实施例中的另一种电池10的结构示意图。
如图7所示,在本申请实施例中,电池10还包括传感部件15,该传感部件15包括传感单元151、传输线路152以及传感端口153。
其中,多个传感单元151用于感测多个电池单体20的状态,作为示例,传感单元151包括但不限于是用于感测多个电池单体20的温度、电压、电流等状态信号的至少一个传感器。该传感单元151感测得到的多个电池单体20的状态信号通过至少一条传输线路152进行传输,该传输线路152例如可以是电信号传输线或者是电路板,其中,电路板包括但不限于是柔性电路板(Flexible Printed Circuit,FPC),其厚度较薄且易于安装。传输线路152的一端设置有传感端口153,该传感端口153用于输出传输线路152中传输的状态信号。
可选地,在本申请实施例中,消防管道30在上述传感端口153对应的区域包覆有隔离层31。
如图7所示,在传感部件15中,传输线路152位于多个电池单体20的泄压机构213所在的第一面的上方,作为示例,传感端口153可以与图6中的汇流连接端口122类似,传感端口153靠近于第一面中的一侧设置。
在本申请实施例中,若传感端口153靠近于第一面的某一侧设置,消防管道30中与传感端口153对应的区域包括但不限于消防管道30中位于该某一侧上方的区域,该消防管道30中与传感端口153对应的区域与传感端口153之间的距离较近。
由于该消防管道30中与传感端口153对应的区域与传感端口153之间的距离较近,该对应的区域中若形成冷凝液,容易滴落至汇流连接端口122,影响该传感端口153的多个电池单体20的状态信号的传输。因此,需要在该对应的区域包覆隔离层31,降低形成冷凝液的概率。
在一些实施方式中,上述传感部件15中的传感端口153与汇流部件12中的汇流连接端口122位于多个电池单体20的同一侧。
例如,在上文图6和图7中,传感部件15中的传感端口153与汇流部件12中的汇流连接端口122靠近于第一面的同一侧设置。在该情况下,消防管道30在该汇流连接端口122对应的区域与消防管道30在该传感端口153对应的区域可以为相同或者相近的区域。
因此,相比于消防管道30在汇流连接端口122对应的区域与消防管道30在该传感端口153对应的区域为不同区域的情况,采用本申请实施例的技术方案,消防管道30不需在多个不同区域包覆隔离层31,而仅需在同一区域包覆隔离层31,即可减小乃至防止冷凝液对汇流连接端口122和传感端口153造成影响,在保证电池10安全性能的前提下,可以减少隔离层31的使用量,既能降低成本也能相对增加消防管道30中未包覆隔离层31的区域,让消防管道30起到更好的温度调节作用。
在一些实施方式中,电池10中还包括绝缘介质层,设置于上述消防管道30与电池单体20之间。
可选地,在电池单体20的泄压机构213致动时,通过泄压机构213排出的排放物可以快速熔化覆盖在泄压机构213的上方的绝缘介质层的对应位置,以泄放电池单体20的内部温度和压力,因此,绝缘介质层在泄压机构213的位置的材料的熔点通常较低。
本申请实施例中的绝缘介质层用于电池单体20的泄压机构213所在的壁与消防管道30之间的绝缘,考虑到电池10中可以设置有多个电池单体20,而对于设置有数量较多的电池单体20的情况,多个电池单体20可以对应于较大面积的绝缘介质层,便于其在 电池10中的安装。
可选地,电池10中可包括两层绝缘介质层,用于上下包覆上述汇流部件12中的汇流单元121和/或传感部件15中的传感单元151和传感线路152,只留出汇流连接端口122和传感端口153。
可选地,消防管道30在绝缘介质层对应的区域可以不包覆隔离层31,即使消防管道30在该区域上形成了冷凝液,绝缘介质层也可用于将冷凝液与其包覆的汇流单元121和/或传感单元151和传感线路152进行绝缘隔离,进一步地,该绝缘介质层还可用于将冷凝液与电池单体20进行绝缘隔离。
为了方便描述,下文中,将绝缘介质层包覆汇流单元121、传感单元151和传感线路152之后形成的结构,称之为传输组件。
作为示例,图8示出了一种传输组件16的示意性结构图,该传输组件16设置于消防管道30与电池单体20之间,且该传输组件16对应于2×9个电池单体20。
可选地,汇流部件12中的汇流连接端口122与传感部件15中的传感端口153均位于绝缘介质层161的同一侧。在一些实施例中,如图8所示,两个传感端口153分别位于两个汇流连接端口122的两侧。
在本申请实施例中,通过绝缘介质层161包覆上述汇流部件12中的汇流单元121和传感部件15中的传感单元151和传感线路152,形成传输组件16,消防管道30在绝缘介质层161对应的区域可以不包覆隔离层31,而在汇流连接端口122和传感端口153对应的区域包覆隔离层31,从而使得消防管道30仅有较小面积区域包覆隔离层31,用于减小乃至防止冷凝液对汇流连接端口122和传感端口153造成影响,而其他较大面积区域不包覆隔离层31,使得消防管道30起到更好的冷却降温作用。因此,通过本申请实施例的方案,能够进一步增强电池10的安全性能。
可以理解的是,上述传输组件16除了包括绝缘介质层161、以及其中的汇流部件12、传感部件15以外,还可以包括例如消防管道30的支架等其它结构件,本申请实施例对此传输组件16的具体结构不做限定。
还可以理解的是,上文图6至图8的实施例中,仅示出了传感部件15中的传感端口153与汇流部件12中的汇流连接端口122位于多个电池单体20的同一侧的情况,可以理解的是,传感部件15中的传感端口153与汇流部件12中的汇流连接端口122也可以位于多个电池单体20的不同侧,例如,汇流部件12中的汇流连接端口122位于上述第一面中的第一侧,传感部件15中的传感端口153位于上述第一面中与第一侧相对的第二侧。本申请实施例对传感端口153与汇流连接端口122的具体位置不做具体限定。
上文结合图4至图8,说明了本申请中消防管道30上包覆的隔离层31与汇流部件12以及传感部件15的位置关系。下面,结合图9至图18,说明消防管道30的设计以及隔离层31在消防管道30中的位置设计。
图9示出了本申请实施例提供的一种消防管道30的立体结构示意图。图10示出了图9中消防管道30的俯视图。
可选地,消防管道30包括多个第一部分301和至少一个第二部分302,该多个第一部分301相互平行设置,且沿多个电池单体20的堆叠方向(如图中所示的y方向)延伸,该至少一个第二部分302中每个第二部分302连接多个第一部分301中相邻的两个第一 部分的端部。
需要说明的是,该多个第一部分301可以近似平行,多个第一部分301中两个第一部分301可能具有微小的夹角,作为示例,该夹角可以为5度以内的夹角。
可选地,消防管道30中的第一部分301可以为直线型管道,第二部分302可以为U形管道、直线型管道、或者其它形状的管道,例如,如图10所示,第二部分302的中部为直线型管道,直线型管道的两端连接有圆弧弯角管道,该圆弧弯角管道用于连接第一部分301。当然,除了上述举例以外,第一部分301和第二部分302还可以为其它形状的相互连通的管道,本申请实施例对此不做具体限定。
作为示例,在图9和图10所示的实施例中,消防管道30中包括三个第一部分301以及两个第二部分302。该三个第一部分301和两个第二部分302形成的消防管道30可以近似为S型管道。
可选地,如图9和图10所示,在消防管道30的两端,还包括消防介质入口303以及消防介质出口304,该消防介质入口303以及消防介质出口304分别连接两个第一部分301的端部,图中消防介质入口303以及消防介质出口304旁示出的虚线框区域为消防介质入口303以及消防介质出口304与第一部分301的端部的连接区域。
可选地,该消防介质入口303和消防介质出口304可以分别连接至入口阀门和出口阀门。其中,进口阀门用于向消防管道30中填充消防介质,相反的,出口阀门用于向外排出消防介质,同时设置有进口阀门和出口阀门可以实现消防管道30内消防介质的循环。另外,阀门的位置可以根据实际应用进行设置,例如,进口阀门和出口阀门分别设置于电池10的两个对侧。又例如,若电池10包括多组阀门,可以将多组阀门中的进口阀门均设置于同一侧,且将多组阀门中的出口阀门设置于同一对侧,但本申请实施例并不限于此。
图11示出了将上述图9和图10中的消防管道30与多个电池单体20组装之后的电池10的结构示意图。图12为图11中电池10的俯视示意图。
作为示例,在图11和图12中,电池10中包括6×18个电池单体20,在堆叠方向上,1×18个电池单体20称为一排电池单体20。可选地,该多个电池单体20上方设置有两个消防管道30,在每个消防管道30中,三个第一部分301一一对应的位于相邻的三排电池单体20的上方。两个第二部分302分别连接相邻的两个第一部分301的端部。
如图11和图12所示,根据电池单体20中泄压机构的位置,消防管道30中多个第一部分301设置在多个电池单体20的多个泄压机构的上方,即该消防管道30中多个第一部分301可设置在该多个泄压机构的远离该多个电池单体20的内部的一侧。
可选地,在本申请实施例中,在消防管道30中,第一部分301的长度可以与一排电池单体20的长度相当,例如,该第一部分301的长度大于一排电池单体20中泄压结构213连线的长度,小于等于一排电池单体20的长度。概括来说,第一部分301的端部位于一排电池单体20的两侧上方。进一步地,第一部分301的端部位于一排电池单体20的两侧的中心的上方。
由于第二部分302用于连接两个第一部分301的端部,该第二部分302对应的也可以认为位于两排电池单体20的两侧。
可选地,上述两个消防管道30可以以任意排列方式设置在多个电池单体20上方。 作为示例,可以如图12中所示,两个消防管道30在多个电池单体20上方呈镜像排列。此外,该两个消防管道30也可以按照阵列等其它方式排列,本申请实施例对此不做具体限定。
可以理解的是,图11和图12中以电池10中包括六排电池单体20,且一个消防管道30对应三排电池单体20为例进行举例说明,一个消防管道30还可以对应于两排、四排或者是四排以上的电池单体20,本申请实施例对此不做具体限定。此外,电池10中也不限于是包括2个消防管道30,其可以仅包括1个消防管道30,又或者是3个或3个以上的消防管道30,本申请实施例对此也不做具体限定。
可选地,该电池10中还包括传感部件15。若电池10中包括多排电池单体20,每一排电池单体20对应设置一条传感线路152,多条传感线路152端部的多个传感端口153设置于上述多个第一部分301的端部的对应区域。
可选地,该电池10中还包括汇流部件12。可选地,若电池10中包括多排电池单体20,每一排或多排电池单体20形成一个电池模组,对应设置一个汇流部件12,该汇流部件12的汇流连接端口122设置于传感部件15的传感端口153的一侧。
在一些实施方式中,绝缘介质层161包覆汇流部件12中的汇流单元121以及传感部件15中的传感单元151和传感线路152,形成传输组件16。汇流部件12中的汇流连接端口122与传感部件15中的传感端口153均位于绝缘介质层161的同一侧。可选地,该绝缘介质层161的面积可以与电池10中多个电池单体20的第一壁所在平面的面积相等或相近。
作为示例,图13示出了传输组件16与消防管道30的结构示意图。
可选地,该传输组件16可对应的设置于图11中的6×18个电池单体20(图13中未示出)与两个消防管道30之间。可选地,在绝缘介质层161的一侧边缘设置有6个传感端口153和6个汇流连接端口122。
在本申请实施例中,消防管道30中的第一部分301可位于传感部件15中传感线路152(图中未示出)的上方,第二部分302在绝缘介质层161的两侧边缘处连接相邻的两个第一部分301。
为了便于说明传感端口153、汇流连接端口122和消防管道30的位置关系,图14和图15示出了电池10中的两种局部放大的结构示意图。
如图14所示,两排电池单体20上方设置有两个第一部分301,两个第一部分301的端部之间连接有第二部分302。两个第一部分301中,每个第一部分301的其中一个端部位于一排电池单体20的一侧边缘上方。且一排电池单体20的一侧边缘还设置有传感部件15的一个传感端口153,且该传感端口153靠近于第一部分301的端部的下方设置,为了降低该第一部分301的端部附近形成冷凝液的概率,减小乃至防止冷凝液对传感端口153造成影响,可在第一部分301的端部周围设置隔离层31。
在一些实施方式中,连接第一部分301的端部的第二部分302中的至少部分区域包覆隔离层31。
作为示例,如图14所示,连接上述两个第一部分301端部的第二部分302中的至少部分区域包覆隔离层31,该第二部分302位于传感端口153所在的电池单体20的一侧边缘,若形成冷凝液,容易对传感端口153造成影响。
除了第二部分302连接第一部分301的端部以外,还有其他部件可连接第一部分301的端部。
可选地,在本申请实施例中,消防管道30的消防介质入口303或消防介质出口304连接有第一部分301,该消防介质入口303或消防介质出口304与第一部分301的连接区域包覆有隔离层31。
如图15所示,两排电池单体20上方设置有两个第一部分301,消防管道30的消防介质出口304(或者也可以为消防介质入口303)连接有其中一个第一部分301,另一个第一部分301的端部连接第二部分302。
与图14类似地,在图15中,传感端口153靠近于第一部分301的端部的下方设置,其中一个传感端口153靠近于消防介质出口304,另一个传感端口153靠近于第二部分302。为了降低在第一部分301的端部附近形成冷凝液的概率,减小冷凝液对传感端口153造成影响,可在该第一部分301与消防介质入口303或消防介质出口304的连接区域(图中虚线框所示)包覆有隔离层31,以及第二部分302中的至少部分区域包覆隔离层31,减小乃至防止形成冷凝液对传感端口153造成影响。
进一步地,汇流部件12的汇流连接端口122设置于传感部件15的传感端口153的一侧。
作为示例,如图14和图15所示,在一排电池单体20中,其端部的中间区域设置一个传感端口153,传感端口153的一侧设置有一个汇流连接端口122,传感端口153和汇流连接端口122设置于一排电池单体20的同一侧边缘。
如图14和图15所示,该汇流连接端口122在第一部分301的端部的斜下方设置。为了降低在该第一部分301的端部附近形成冷凝液的概率,减小冷凝液对汇流连接端口122造成影响,可在第一部分301的端部周围设置隔离层31。
由图14和图15可以看出,汇流连接端口122与第一部分301的端部之间的距离略远于传输接口153与第一部分301的端部之间的距离,若消防管道30上包覆的隔离层31能够减小形成冷凝液对传输接口153造成影响,则也能减小形成冷凝液对汇流连接端口122造成影响。
因此,在一些实施方式中,在连接第一部分301端部的第二部分302中的至少部分区域均包覆隔离层31,减小第二部分302上形成的冷凝液对传输接口153造成影响的同时,也能减小冷凝液对汇流连接端口122造成影响。进一步地,消防管道30的消防介质入口303或消防介质出口304连接有第一部分301,该消防介质入口303或消防介质出口304与第一部分301的连接区域包覆有隔离层31,减小在连接区域上形成的冷凝液对传输接口153造成影响的同时,也能减小冷凝液对汇流连接端口122造成影响。
可选地,在一些实施方式中,如图14所示,第二部分302中的直线管道部分包覆有隔离层31,而第二部分302中,与第一部分302连接的连接部不包覆隔离层31。
可选地,如图14和15所示,第一部分301可以不包覆隔离层31,该不包覆隔离层31的第一部分301和/或第二部分302中的连接部,可以用于对电池单体20调节温度。
可选地,在另一些实施方式中,第二部分302中的直线管道部分以及与第一部分302连接的连接部均包覆隔离层31。或者,消防管道30中第一部分301端部及其附近的其它区域也可以包覆隔离层31,以进一步减小形成冷凝液的概率。
可选地,第二部分302中包覆有隔离层31的区域在第一平面中的正投影与多个电池单体20在第一平面中的正投影至少部分重叠,其中,第一平面为垂直于多个电池单体20的高度方向的平面。
可选地,消防介质入口303和/或消防介质出口304与第一部分301的连接区域中包覆有隔离层31的区域在第一平面中的正投影与多个电池单体20在该第一平面中的正投影至少部分重叠。
在一些实施方式中,该第一平面可以为上文中多个电池单体20的第一面所在平面,该多个电池单体20在第一平面中的正投影即为多个电池单体20的第一面。
在另一些实施方式中,该第一平面也可以为与多个电池单体20的第一面平行的平面,该多个电池单体20在第一平面中的正投影为多个电池单体20的第一面在第一平面中的正投影。
图16示出了一种电池10的示意性俯视图。
如图16所示,第二部分302中包覆有隔离层31的区域在多个电池单体20的第一面的正投影(图中所示的一部分黑色区域)与多个电池单体20的第一面至少部分重叠。
此外,消防介质入口303和消防介质出口304与第一部分301的连接区域中包覆有隔离层31的区域在多个电池单体20的第一面的正投影(图中所示的另一部分黑色区域)与多个电池单体20的第一面至少部分重叠。
可选地,隔离层31在消防管道30中设置的区域除了可以如图16所示的情况以外,第二部分302中包覆有隔离层31的区域在第一平面中的正投影与多个电池单体20在该第一平面中的正投影也可互不重叠。
此外,除了第二部分302中包覆有隔离层31的区域以外,消防管道30中其它包覆有隔离层31的区域在第一平面中的正投影与多个电池单体20在该第一平面中的正投影也可互不重叠。例如,消防介质入口303和消防介质出口304与第一部分301的连接区域中包覆有隔离层31的区域在第一平面中的正投影与多个电池单体20在该第一平面中的正投影也互不重叠。
换言之,在该实施方式下,消防管道30中全部包覆有隔离层31的区域在第一平面中的正投影与多个电池单体20在该第一平面中的正投影均互不重叠。
通过上述申请实施例的方案,可以将消防管道30紧密设置于多个电池单体20上方,减小消防管道30与多个电池单体20之间的距离,从而提高消防管道30对多个电池单体20的温度调节效果。同时减小消防管道30在电池10内高度方向占用的空间,提高电池10能量密度。
本申请一个实施例还提供了一种用电装置,该用电装置可以包括前述各实施例中的电池10。可选地,用电装置可以为车辆1、船舶或航天器。
