沿第一方向,电芯21包括相对设置的第一端A和第二端B,第一端A为延伸出有金属部213的一端,第二端B为远离设有金属部213的一端。在本实施例中,金属部213包括两个,两个金属部213自电芯21的第一端A延伸出电芯壳体212,在其他实施例中,两个金属部213中的一个可自电芯21的第一端A延伸出电芯壳体212,另一个金属部213可自电芯21的第二端B延伸出电芯壳体212。本实施例中,在第二端B,电芯 21包括第一表面214和第二表面215,第一表面214和第二表面215不在同一平面。沿第一方向,第一表面214相较于第二表面215更加靠近第一端A。在一种实施例中,第二表面215能够在电芯模组20设置其他构件时作为一个基准,从而使得电芯模组20的整体结构更加平整,便于电芯模组20组装至电池组壳体40中。
请参阅图4、图5和图9,支架22架设于第一电芯M的上方,支架22包括主体221,主体221大致为矩形板状结构,沿第三方向,主体221延伸的距离与电芯21延伸的距离大致相同。在本实施例中,第三方向为沿Y轴方向。其中,“大致”的含义为并非绝对的等同,二者之间可存在+/-5mm至+/-10mm的偏差。在一种实施例中,主体221与第一电芯M之间存在第一间隙(图未标示),当对电池组壳体40进行灌胶时,第二树脂层30流入该第一间隙内,以加强主体221和第一电芯M之间的固定强度。
在一实施例中,支架22还包括多个凸部222,多个凸部222间隔设于主体221靠近第一电芯M的一侧,且凸部222朝第一电芯M延伸第一距离,以使得凸部222延伸出主体221,凸部222和主体221形成凹槽223,凹槽223与第一间隙连通。通过设置凸部222能够增加主体221的强度,同时,请参阅图11,当电芯模组20设于电池组壳体40内时,第二树脂层30能够设于主体221和电芯21之间,凹槽223处设有第二树脂层30,从而使得支架22和电芯21之间的稳定性更强。
在一实施例中,支架22还包括固定部224,沿第三方向,固定部224连接于主体221的侧边。在一种实施例中,固定部224包括两个,两个固定部224连接于主体221的相对两侧边。本实施例中,固定部224与主体221垂直设置,其他实施例中,固定部224与主体221可以其他角度设置。支架22通过固定部224固定于电池组壳体40内,从而对支架22起到预定位的作用,减少在对电芯模组20进行灌胶的过程中,因第二树脂层30的流动带动支架22移动。在一种实施例中,固定部224开设有固定孔225,固定部224通过固定孔225卡扣于电池组壳体40的内壁,以实现支架22的预定位。
固定部224与电池组壳体40之间卡扣连接,以使得电芯21膨胀时,能够更加便捷的带动支架22移动。当第二树脂层30固定电芯模组20时,固定孔225处的第二树脂层30较少,其固定程度较低,不影响支架22的移动情况。
可以理解理解的是,在其他实施例中,固定部224的数量和设置位置不限于此。例如,固定部224还可设置为六个或八个等。主体221的形状也不限于此。
在一种实施例中,电芯模组20包括支架22,沿第二方向将支架22设于第一电芯M的上方,第一电芯M的第一面O可能存在凹凸不平的现象。通过设置支架22,将检测件23设于支架22上,以使得检测件23位于一平整的表面,提升了检测件23检测的准确性。
可以理解的是,其他实施例中,支架22还可设于相邻两电芯21之间,不限于上述的设于第一电芯M的上方。
请参阅图10,在另一实施例中,还提供一种支架22,支架22包括主体221、凸部222和固定部224。凸部222设于主体221靠近第一电芯M的表面,以使得主体221和第一电芯M之间存在第一间隙,第二树脂层30能够设于主体221和第一电芯M之间。固定部224与上述实施例中固定部224的结构相同。在此,不再进行赘述。
请参阅图4、图5和图12,检测件23用于检测电芯模组20的膨胀程度,并传递所 检测到的信息。检测件23包括第一检测部231、第二检测部232和引导线234,第一检测部231设于支架22靠近盖板10的表面,第二检测部232设于第一检测部231。引导线234与第一检测部231连接,当第一检测部231和第二检测部232连接时,通过引导线234传递信息。
在一种实施例中,第一检测部231和第二检测部232均包括一薄膜片,并在薄膜片上设置导电银浆,导电银浆可作为第一检测部231和第二检测部232的导电部。
检测件23还包括第一粘接区233,第一粘接区233设于第一检测部231靠近边缘的部分,并在该位置处涂覆例如胶水或双面胶等结构,使得第一检测部231和第二检测部232通过第一粘接区233能够连接。第一粘接区233处涂覆有胶水,使得第一检测部231和第二检测部232之间除第一粘接区233以外的其他区域之间形成间隙,例如,形成0.2mm的间隙。
当电芯模组20发生膨胀时,第一电芯M顶推第二树脂层30,第二树脂层30顶推支架22,支架22带动第一检测部231朝第二检测部232的方向靠近,直至二者之间连接。连接后的第一检测部231和第二检测部232上的导电银浆接触,形成导通的回路,并通过引导线234与外部结构连接,从而传递出第一检测部231和第二检测部232连通的信息。
在一种实施例中,盖板10设有凸起部12,为了能够使得检测件23的检测效果更加准确,凸起部12的设置位置与检测件23相对应。当电芯21发生膨胀时,因凸起部12能够抵持第二检测部232,从而使得第一检测部231和第二检测部232之间更容易连接,提升了检测件23的准确性。
在本实施例中,当第一检测部231和第二检测部232未连接时,引导线234的电阻可以被认为是无限大的,当电芯21发生异常膨胀时,可使得第一检测部231和第二检测部232连接,形成完整的回路,引导线234的电阻迅速下降,从而能够及时响应并检测出来,提升了电池组100的安全性。
可以理解的是,在其他实施例中,检测件23的检测形式不限于检测电阻这一种情况。例如,还可为第一检测部231和第二检测部232导通后便能够及时响应的检测方式,或者其他具有等同功效或作用的检测形式都可适用。
在一实施例中,检测件23和支架22还可设于相邻两电芯21之间。
在一实施例中,可对电芯21膨胀的程度进行设置。例如,可将电芯21膨胀的程度大于15%作为一个临界值。可以理解的是,也可以选择更大的膨胀临界值,以便于电池组100在使用的过程中能够减低误触发的几率。在一具体实施例中,电芯21正常的膨胀程度为0~20%。第一检测部231和第二检测部232之间存在间隙,可允许电芯21进一步膨胀,在一种实施方式中,该间隙可允许电芯21再膨胀5%,当电芯21膨胀到20%时,第一检测部231和第二检测部连接导通。
请参阅图6,在一实施例中,检测件还包括支撑部235,当电芯模组20发生膨胀时,第一检测部231和第二检测部232沿第二方向移动,移动的过程中将会拉扯引导线234。由于第二树脂层30固定引导线234,第一检测部231和第二检测部232在移动的过程中可能会将引导线234拉断。为了降低这种情况发生,在引导线234靠近支架22的侧边设置支撑部235,支撑部235位于引导线234和支架22之间,以增加引导线234沿第二 方向的高度。将引导线234抬高些,在电芯模组20发生膨胀时,第一检测部231和第二检测部232发生移动,引导线234可以一起移动,降低将引导线234拉断的情况发生。在一种实施例中,沿第三方向支撑部235与第一检测部231和第二检测部232之间存在第一距离d,如此设置,可使得第一检测部231和第二检测部232更加平整。当检测到电芯21发生异常膨胀后,电芯模组20断开电芯21之间的电导通,减少电芯21的继续使用。也可使得检测件23导通后,电芯模组20做熔断处理,形成电池组100的开路,而无法再继续使用。
请参阅图6,在一实施例中,为了使得检测件23能够更容易的对电芯21的膨胀情况进行检测,将检测件23靠近电芯21的第二端B设置,在一种具体实施方式中,沿第一方向X,第二端B到第一端A的距离为L,可将检测件23沿第一方向X离第二端B的距离为1/4~1/3L处设置。支架22设于第一电芯M的位置可根据检测件23的设置位置进行调整。电芯21的第一端A设有金属部213,金属部213需要与外部结构连接,以实现电芯21的电导通,第二端B未连接任何外部结构。
第二树脂层30将电芯模组20固定于电池组壳体40内,金属部213与外部结构连接,第一端A被第二树脂层30固定,设在第二端B的第二树脂层30相比与设在第一端A的第二树脂层30较少,使得第二端B的粘接强度弱于第一端A,第一端A的机械强度要大于第二端B,因此第二端B相对于第一端A更容易膨胀。为了降低第二端B因灌胶较少,容易出现晃动的情况,可在第二端B处设置绝缘组件26,以减轻第二端B发生晃动。
电芯模组20表面设有第二树脂层30,为了能够更加容易的被检测出电芯模组20是否发生膨胀,对第二端B位置处进行不完全灌胶,以使得第二端B更容易移动。将检测件23设于靠近第二端B,更容易对电芯模组20的膨胀程度进行检测。
在一种实施例中,当第二树脂层30固定电芯模组20时,第二树脂层30设于支架22与第一电芯M之间,进一步地,第二树脂层30还可设于支架22背离第一电芯M的表面,第一电芯M的第一面O也全设有第二树脂层30,以使得电芯21在膨胀的过程中通过第二树脂层30顶推支架22时,支架22的整体受力更加均匀,顶推力的传导也更加均匀,检测件23的检测更加准确。
支架22通过第二树脂层30进行固定之外,检测件23需要显露于第二树脂层30外,减少出现第二树脂层30固定检测件23,使得检测件23的第一检测部231和第二检测部232无法移动。
请参阅图13,本申请的另一实施例还提供一种检测件23,另一实施例中,检测件23包括第一检测部231、第二检测部232和连接部236,,第一检测部231设于支架22时,将第一检测部231设于支架22靠近盖板10表面上,第二检测部232设于盖板10靠近电芯21的表面上。电芯模组20未设置支架22时,将第一检测部231设于第一电芯M靠近盖板10的表面上,第二检测部232设于盖板10靠近第一电芯M的表面上。第二检测部232设有连接部236,连接部236从第二检测部232朝第一检测部231延伸出,连接部236相对于第二检测部232能够移动,并能够与第二检测部232之间形成电导通的状态,第二检测部232上设有引导线234,通过引导线234传递信息。
当电芯21在正常情况下未膨胀时,第一检测部231和第二检测部232之间存在间 隙。当电芯21发生异常膨胀的情况,电芯21顶持第一检测部231,或通过支架22顶持第一检测部231与第二检测部232上的连接部236连接,第一检测部231和连接部236连接后,第一检测部231顶推连接部236移动,使得连接部236与第二检测部232导通,第二检测部232内部形成电导通状态,通过引导线234将导通的信息传递出去,以实现检测的目的。
在该实施例中,第一检测部231为绝缘片,第二检测部232为行程开关,而连接部236为该行程开关上的触头。
可以理解的是,检测件23的形式不限于上述的薄膜片检测或行程开关检测。在其他实施例中,检测件23还可替换为,例如金属片的检测形式。
请参阅图4和图5,在一实施例中,电芯模组20还包括支撑件24,支撑件24设于相邻两电芯21的金属部213的连接位置处。具体的,相邻两电芯21的金属部213连接后,金属部213之间形成收容槽(图未标示),支撑件24设于收容槽内。将支撑件24设于收容槽中,可对金属部213起到支撑固定的作用,同时,支撑件24能够将相邻两电芯21之间未连接的金属部213间隔开,减少其接触后造成电芯21之间出现短路的情况。
在一种实施例中,支撑件24为泡棉。可以理解的是,在其他实施例中,支撑件24还可替换为其他具有等同功效或作用的结构。
请参阅图4和图5,在一实施例中,电芯模组20还包括转接组件25,转接组件25设于电芯21的第一端A,用于连接金属部213和引导线234,使得金属部213和引导线234能够与外部结构连接,以实现对电芯21的内电压等数据的监测,以及接收到引导线234传递的信息后,实现对电芯21采用保护机制的启动。
转接组件25包括转接板251、转接件252和限位件253,转接板251设于电芯21的第一端A,沿第三方向观察,引导线234从第一检测部231延伸出后,沿着电芯21的侧边朝转接板251的方向延伸,并与转接板251电连接。其中,电芯21的“侧边”指电芯21的第一端A和第二端B之间靠近边缘的位置。转接件252设于转接板251上并与转接板251电连接,限位件253用于对设于转接板251上的转接件252进行限位,减少转接件252移动。
在一种实施例中,转接板251为电路板。在一种实施例中,转接件252为铜排,进一步地,该铜排可分为总正铜排和总负铜排,总正铜排与远离盖板10的电芯21上的正极耳连接,总负铜排与靠近盖板10的电芯21上的负极耳连接,限位件253对总正铜排进行限位。在一种实施例中,限位件253为限位泡棉。
可以理解的是,在其他实施例中,总正铜排和总负铜排与电芯21连接的正、负极耳连接可以进行替换。限位件253还可替换为替他具有等同功效或作用的结构。
请参阅图4和图5,在一实施例中,为了减少灌入电池组壳体40内的第二树脂层30,可在电芯21的第二端B处设置绝缘组件26,一方面使得电芯21的第二端B容易移动,提升对电芯模组20膨胀程度检测的准确性,另一方面减少了电池组100所需的成本。绝缘组件26和电芯21的第二端B形成第一空间265,第一空间265和至少两个电芯21之间的间隙连通,绝缘组件26封闭第一空间265的一侧,第一空间265的一侧沿第一方向的反方向远离电芯21。绝缘组件26和第一空间265形成排气通道,排气通 道与电池组100外部大气连通。
电池组100包括第一树脂层262,第一树脂层262设于电芯21的第二端B处,第一树脂层262呈一中空的矩形形状,设于电芯21上时,能够减少第二树脂层30进入其中空的部分,绝缘组件26设于第一树脂层262的表面,以封闭第一树脂层262的中空部分。如此设置,减少了第一树脂层262的用量,同时减少了第二树脂层30的用量,使得电芯模组20能够被固定的同时,减少电池组100的成本。
在一种实施例中,当电池组100处于恶劣环境下,例如处于高温环境下时,电池组100内外气压不同而发生安全性问题,电芯模组20还可通过绝缘组件26进行排气。例如,可利用绝缘组件26将电芯21产生的气体或者电池组100内部的其他结构产生的气体排出。
第一树脂层262和绝缘组件26之间共同形成排气通道,排气通道与电池组100外部连通,从而实现电池组100内部结构的排气目的。
请参阅图4和图14,电池组100包括第一绝缘件261,第一绝缘件261设于相邻两电芯21之间,第一绝缘件261通过在其相对的两表面设置例如双面胶,从而使得第一绝缘件261能够粘接于电芯21表面,从而使得相邻电芯21之间能够两两固定,以形成一个稳固的电芯模组20,第一空间265至少形成于相邻两电芯21与绝缘组件26之间。在一种实施例中,第一绝缘件261为泡棉。通过在相邻两电芯21之间设置泡棉,若电芯21发生膨胀,泡棉能够给电芯21提供形变空间,减少相邻两电芯21直接相互挤压,或者电芯21与盖板10或电池组壳体40挤压,造成盖板10或者电池组壳体40的破裂。
可以理解的是,在其他实施例中,第一绝缘件261还可替换为其他具有等同功效或作用的结构。双面胶也可替换为其他形式的粘胶,如液态胶水。
第一绝缘件261开设有第二通孔2611,在一种实施例中,第二通孔2611大致呈矩形,以使得第二通孔2611的形状和电芯21的形状大致相同,从而能够更好的适用于电芯21。通过在第一绝缘件261开设第二通孔2611,电芯21在第二通孔2611位置处能够有更多的空间发生膨胀,例如可通过第二通孔2611提供的空间给电芯21设置膨胀范围。同时,还可减少第一绝缘件261的用量,降低电池组100的成本。
在一实施例中,电芯21的薄弱点在第一面O或第二面P上。此处“薄弱点”指电芯21中更容易被冲破的位置。
请参阅图8和图15,在一实施例中,沿与第二方向相反的方向观察,第一绝缘件261在电芯21上的投影面积最小为电极组件211的面积,最大投影面积为电芯壳体212的面积。在一种实施例中,第一绝缘件261在电芯21上的投影面积设于最大投影面积和最小投影面积之间。如此设置第一绝缘件261的尺寸,一方面减少在对堆叠的电芯21进行填充第二树脂层30时,第二树脂层30由电芯21的侧边进入相邻两电芯21之间,第一绝缘件261出现无法被压缩的情况;另一方面在将电芯模组20组装至电池组壳体40中时也更加容易,减少出现难易装配的情况。
在一种实施例中,为了便于第一绝缘件261对电芯21进行排气,在靠近电芯21第二端B位置处的部分第一绝缘件261不设置双面胶,使得该部分的第一绝缘件261与电芯21之间不进行粘接,从而使得气体能够从第一绝缘件261和电芯21之间存在的间隙内通过。具体的,第一绝缘件261不设置双面胶的部分,如图15中虚线所示的部分。
请参阅图16,堆叠的电芯21之间设有第一绝缘件261,沿与第一方向相反的方向观察,第一绝缘件261的端部与电芯21的第二端B位置处的第一表面214齐平。将第一绝缘件261的端部与第二表面215齐平,能够有效减少第二树脂层30进入电芯21之间,影响电芯21正常膨胀,同时便于电芯21与电池组壳体40之间的组装。
在一实施例中,第一绝缘件261的邵氏硬度C的范围为38°+/-5°。将第一绝缘件261的硬度设于此范围之间,一方面便于压缩第一绝缘件261,减少出现第一绝缘件261因硬度偏大,电芯21在挤压第一绝缘件261时,第一绝缘件261无法被压缩;另一方面使得堆叠的电芯21和第一绝缘件261的尺寸更容易管控,减少出现因第一绝缘件261的硬度偏小,容易发生变形。
在一实施例中,第一绝缘件261采用弹性闭孔材料制成,采用该种材料能够使得第一绝缘件261既能够发生形变,为电芯21的膨胀提供变形空间,同时不渗胶,有效保证第二树脂层30无法进入相邻两电芯21之间。
请参阅图17,堆叠的电芯21在第二端B位置处设有第一树脂层262,在本实施例中,沿第一方向观察,第一树脂层262大致呈一中空矩形形状,第一树脂层262通过将液态树脂设于电芯21的第二端B后固定形成。请结合图16,在电芯21的第二端B,第一表面214和第二表面215与第一端A的距离不同,通过设置第一树脂层262,将第一表面214和第二表面215之间的槽(图未标示)填满,以减少后续灌胶时,第二树脂层30流动至第一表面214和第二表面215,影响电芯模组20的排气。
可以理解的是,将第一树脂层262设置为呈一中空的矩形形状是根据堆叠的电芯21而设计的。可以理解的是,在其他实施例中,当电芯21替换为其他堆叠的形状时,第一树脂层262的形状也随之改变。
请参阅图5和图18,为了进一步地减少第二树脂层30的灌入,绝缘组件26包括第二绝缘件263和第三绝缘件264。第二绝缘件263设于第一树脂层262的表面,沿第一方向观察,第二绝缘件263覆盖第一树脂层262。第二绝缘件263在靠近第一树脂层262的表面设有例如双面胶的粘接结构(图未示),以使得第二绝缘件263能够通过双面胶粘接于电芯21上。
第二绝缘件263包括第一本体2631,第一本体2631也大致呈矩形。第一本体2631开设有第三通孔2632,第三通孔2632呈长方形,且其长度方向沿第二方向,以使得第三通孔2632能够与多个电芯21和第一绝缘件261之间存在的间隙连通,实现排气的目的。
在一实施例中,第二绝缘件263还包括第一部2633,第一部2633从第一本体2631沿第二方向延伸出,当电芯模组20与盖板10组装时,第一部2633至少部分位于盖板10的第一通孔14处。
在一种实施例中,第二绝缘件263为泡棉。可以理解的是,在其他实施例中,第二绝缘件263还可替换为其他具有等同功效或作用的结构。第二绝缘件263的形状不限于此,根据电芯21堆叠的情况不同,第二绝缘件263的形状能够相应的进行替换。
请参阅图5和图19,第三绝缘件264设于第二绝缘件263背离第一树脂层262的表面,且第三绝缘件264和第二绝缘件263的结构大致相同。
请同时参阅图20,第三绝缘件264包括第二本体2641和第二部2642,第二部2642 从第二本体2641沿第二方向延伸出,第二本体2641和第二部2642分别与第一本体2631和第一部2633相对应,第一部2633对第二部2642能够起到支撑固定的作用。第二本体2641和第二部2642上设有排气槽2643,当第三绝缘件264与第二绝缘件263连接时,排气槽2643与第二通孔2611连通形成排气通道,气体从排气槽2643处排出电池组外部。
在一种实施例中,当盖板10与电芯模组20组装时,第一部2633和第二部2642沿第二方向超出盖板10的距离大于2mm,以减少第二树脂层30进入排气通道中,出现无法排气泄压的情况。排气槽2643沿与第一方向相反的方向凹陷的深度为小于或者等于0.2mm,排气槽2643沿第三方向的距离为1mm至3mm之间,如此设置排气槽2643的尺寸,使得排气槽2643能够起到防尘的作用,减少灰尘等杂质堵住排气通道。
第二本体2641上设有第二粘接区2644,第二粘接区2644设于第二本体2641的边缘位置。通过在第二粘接区2644上设置例如双面胶的粘接结构(图未示),使得第三绝缘件264和第二绝缘件263连接。
在一种实施例中,第三绝缘件264可由聚碳酸酯(PC)材料制成。可以理解的是,第三绝缘件264的制成材料不限于此,在其他实施例中,还可采用其他具有等同功效或作用的结构。
可以理解的是,在其他实施例中,第二绝缘件263和第三绝缘件264可为一体成型结构,并在二者之间共同设置排气槽2643,并使排气槽2643和第三通孔2632连通。
当将绝缘组件26设于堆叠的电芯21上时,先将电芯21与第一绝缘件261间隔设置并堆叠,然后将第一树脂层262设于堆叠的电芯21的第二端B处直至第一树脂层262固化并固定于电芯21的第二端B,再将第二绝缘件263设于第一树脂层262上,最后将第三绝缘件264设于第二绝缘件263上,以完成绝缘组件26与电芯21之间的组装。
请参阅图21和图22,在另一实施例中,靠近电芯21的第二端B位置处,在第一绝缘件261上设置一开口2612,再将第一绝缘件261粘接于电芯21表面。
然后将第二绝缘件263粘接于电芯21的第二端B处,使得开口2612与第三通孔2632连通,即开口2612与第一空间265连通。再沿着第三通孔2632的边缘设置第一树脂层262。在本实施例中,第一树脂层262大至形成为框形结构,其中,“类似”指看起来较为相似,实际是在第三通孔2632的边缘设置具有厚度的第一树脂层262,能够减少第二树脂层30流入第三通孔2632内,影响排气。最后将第三绝缘件264设于第二绝缘件263上,排气槽2643与第三通孔2632连通,形成完整的排气通道,便于对电芯模组20进行排气。
进一步地,当第一绝缘件261为泡棉时,泡棉及设于泡棉上的双面胶在高温环境下会分解产生气体,第一绝缘件261上设置第二通孔2611减少了第一绝缘件261用量,也减少了气体的产生。泡棉及泡棉上双面胶产生的气体也通过排气通道排出。
请参阅图4和图5,在一实施例中,电池组100还包括缓冲件27,所诉缓冲件27沿第三方向设于电芯模组20的侧边。在一种实施例中,缓冲件27设于引导线234上并位于电芯模组20的侧边。将缓冲件27设于引导线234上,能够对引导线234起到固定的作用,减少因电芯21发生膨胀而带动引导线234移动,影响引导线234传递信息的准确性。同时,还可对电芯模组20起到缓冲的作用,当电池组100发生震动时,缓冲 件27可减少电芯模组20直接与电池组壳体40发生撞击而导致电芯21出现损坏的情况。
在一种实施例中,缓冲件27为泡棉。可以理解的是,在其他实施例中,缓冲件27还可替换为其他具有等同功效或作用的结构。
请参阅图4,在一实施例中,电池组100还包括胶垫28,胶垫28沿第二方向设于电芯模组20和电池组壳体40之间,用于保护电芯21,减少将电芯模组20组装于电池组壳体40内时,电芯21撞击电池组壳体40出现变形的情况。
在一种实施例中,胶垫28为硅胶垫28。可以理解的是,在其他实施例中,胶垫28还可替换为其他具有等同功效或作用的结构,例如,设置泡棉,也可对电芯21起到保护的作用。
请参阅图2,电池组100还包括电路板29,电路板29设于盖板10背离电芯模组20的表面,转接组件25中的转接件252连接于电路板29上,转接板251通过线连接或其他连接方式与电路板29连接。在一种实施例中,电路板29为Battery Management System板(BMS板),用于对电芯21上电压等数据的进行控制,以及在接收到引导线234传递出的信息后对电芯21的电路及时做出响应,以保证电芯21的安全。
请参阅图2,第二树脂层30通过灌注的方式设于电芯21的侧边后固定形成,用来固定多个电芯21,电芯21通过电芯壳体212将电极组件211进行封装后,电芯壳体212的侧封边位置处,通过第二树脂层30固定多个电芯21,即在相邻两电芯21侧边存在间隙的位置处填充有第二树脂层30,使得相邻两电芯21之间通过第二树脂层30粘接固定。在一种实施例中,电芯21的侧边,也可为电芯21的外轮廓周边位置,从而使得第二树脂层30在固定电芯21时,更加牢固。进一步地,组装支架22至电芯模组20上时,是当第二树脂层30还未完全固定时将其进行安装。
第二树脂层30的灌注方式可为灌胶或注塑,例如,低压注塑。在本实施例中,第二树脂层30为灌封胶,该灌封胶可以起到对元器件进行粘接、密封、灌封和涂覆保护等作用。在一种实施例中,第二树脂层30为环氧树脂灌封胶。可以理解的是,在其他实施例中,第二树脂层30还可替换为其他类型的灌封胶。
请再参阅图2,电池组壳体40收容电芯模组20,第二树脂层30设于电芯模组20和电池组壳体40之间,例如,第二树脂层30为灌封胶,将灌封胶通过灌注的方式灌入到电芯模组20和电池组壳体40之间,灌封胶固定后形成固态的第二树脂层30,第二树脂层30将电芯模组20和电池组壳体40粘接固定在一起,加强电池组100的结构强度。盖板10和电池组壳体40固定连接,例如,采用紧固件,如螺丝将盖板10安装至电池组壳体40上,以对设于电池组壳体40内的电芯模组20进行保护。
电池组壳体40大致呈一无上盖的中空长方体结构,包括四个侧壁41和底壁42,四个侧壁41和底壁42围成收容空间43,电芯模组20设于收容空间43内。进一步地,盖板10和电池组壳体40共同包覆电芯模组20,电池组壳体40的形状根据多个沿第二方向堆叠的电芯21进行设置。在一种实施例中,绝缘组件26设于电芯21的第二端B与远离金属部213的侧壁41之间。
可以理解的是,在其他实施例中,电池组壳体40的形状不限于此,例如电芯模组20呈圆形时,电池组壳体40的形状可根据电芯模组20的形状进行替换。
可以理解的是,在其他实施例中,盖板10和电池组壳体40的固定方式不限于此, 例如,还可替换为卡扣固定的连接方式,或者在盖板10和电池组壳体40相对应的边缘位置处涂覆粘胶,通过粘胶将二者进行固定。
本申请的实施例还提供一种用电装置(图未示),用电装置包括本体和上述任一实施例中的电池组100,电池组100设于本体中。例如,用电装置可为电动车、电动公交车、电动汽车、储能设备、电动自行车、飞行设备等。相应的,当用电设备为电动车时,本体为车体结构,电池组100设于该车体结构内,用于进行供电。
可以理解的是,在其他实施例中,用电装置还可是手持电动装置,例如吸尘器、除草机等。
综上,本申请实施例中提供电池组100及用电装置,通过在电芯21上设置检测件23,用于检测电芯模组20的膨胀程度是否超出安全膨胀范围,当电芯模组20的膨胀程度超出安全膨胀范围后,检测件23及时做出响应,以保护电池组100,减少发生安全性问题。同时,电芯模组20上设置绝缘组件26,绝缘组件26所形成的排气通道与外部大气连通,使得电池组100内部产生的气体能够排出到外部,平衡电池组100内外压强,解决因气压不平衡带来的风险。
另外,本技术领域的普通技术人员应当认识到,以上的实施例仅是用来说明本申请,而并非用作为对本申请的限定,只要在本申请的实质精神范围之内,对以上实施例所作的适当改变和变化都落在本申请公开的范围之内。
