本申请实施例中的电化学装置可以为电芯,特别地可以为软包电芯。本申请中虽然以软包电芯为例对本申请技术方案进行说明,但本申请技术方案的应用并不限于软包电芯。
如图1和图2所示,本申请的实施例提供一种电化学装置,包括:本体10和第一保护体11。本体10采用单侧出极耳的方式,即本体10的头部设置有两个极耳101。第一保护体11设置于本体10设置有极耳101的一端,即图1中本体10的头部。极耳101的一部分设置于第一保护体11内,极耳101的另一部分延伸出第一保护体11。
可选地,第一保护体11可以设置有第一通孔110,本体10的极耳101自第一通孔110延伸出第一保护体11。
电化学装置的本体10可以包括单体电池,例如电芯等。本体10设置有极耳101的一端指本体10出极耳101的一端,一般指电芯的头部。有的本体10也可以是双侧出极耳,即本体10的第一端和第二端各延伸出一个极耳,此时,第一保护体11相应地位于本体10第一端和第二端,如图3和图4所示。
可选地,第一保护体11也可以形成为单独的配件,设置于本体10的设置有极耳101的一端。上述第一保护体11也可以采用例如低压注塑等方式直接形成在本体10的出极耳101的一端(如电芯的头部),并与本体10的壳体一体化。
电化学装置的头部即出极耳101的一端设置有第一保护体11,可以避免 电化学装置由于机械作用导致的失效风险。例如,可以在受到冲击或晃动时,防止电解液冲击导致的电化学装置的顶封区被冲开以及头部角位失效。另外,利用第一保护体11的热熔吸热的作用,还可以为电化学装置提供一定的降温作用。
可选地,如图1和图6所示,电化学装置的本体10还包括与设置有极耳101的一端相连接的多个侧面,第一保护体11还覆盖多个侧面的部分区域,所述部分区域连接于本体10设置有极耳101的一端。第一保护体11还可以向下覆盖多个侧面的部分区域,可以使第一保护体11与本体10紧密结合。

可选地,如图5和图6所示,第一保护体11覆盖本体10的顶封102或与其邻接处可以设置有薄弱结构,如可以是缺口113。缺口113处不覆盖第一保护体11。薄弱结构指与其他地方相比,薄弱结构处第一保护体11的机械性能较弱,在出现异常导致热失控时,电化学装置可以从该薄弱结构泄压。薄弱结构处例如可以覆盖较薄的第一保护体11,或者薄弱结构处第一保护体11的膜层结构松散,或者薄弱结构处的第一保护体11经过能获得上述薄弱化效果的工艺处理。
本体10一般设计有防爆用的泄压区域,可以将泄压区域覆盖的第一保护体11的厚度小于第一厚度从而形成薄弱结构。或者,第一保护体11在与设计的泄压区域对应的区域设置缺口113。泄压区域不覆盖第一保护体11或者所覆盖的第一保护体11的厚度小于第一厚度,可以避免因第一保护体11太厚影响电化学装置的泄压设计。本体10一般选择顶封102的位于两个极耳101之间的中间区域作为泄压区域。在本体10覆盖保护体时,需要设计在此设计缺 口113或薄弱结构以满足防爆需求。进一步可选地,泄压区域可以对应本体10的泄压阀所在的位置。
在出现异常导致热失控时,本体10内部产生的气体可以从缺口113或薄弱结构处冲开封装壳体,避免发生爆炸,从而第一保护体11不会影响热失控时的泄压。

如图6所示,第一保护体11包括靠近本体10的第一端和远离本体10的第二端,第一保护体11的第二端的厚度D2小于第一端D1的厚度。此处第一保护体11第一端的厚度D1、第二端的厚度D2均指与本体10的厚度垂直的方向。
在极耳101的长度方向,第一保护体11远离本体10一端的厚度减薄,可以在不影响第一保护体11功能的前提下节省材料,而且还可以为后续极耳101焊接工序提供操作空间。可选地,如图5所示,在第一保护体11的一侧减薄,即第一保护体11的横截面为L形。还可以如图7和图8所示,第一保护体11可以在两侧减薄,第一保护体11的顶部形成包覆部分极耳101的凸台112。

可选地,电化学装置还包括:第三保护体13,设置于本体的第一侧面103。如果电极组件是卷绕式组件,第一侧面103与卷绕式组件的折边对应;如果电极组件是层叠式组件,第一侧面103与极片的侧面相对。侧封104一般位于第一侧面103上。第三保护体13可以对电化学装置的侧边提供加固和保护作用。可选地,第三保护体13的包覆厚度可以越为0.3~2mm。
可选地,第三保护体的内侧至少包覆本体10的侧封104,可以对易于被冲开的侧封104进行加固,防止电化学装置侧封104被冲开。可选地,第三保护体的外侧面可以为平面、弧形面或者其它形状。
可选地,第一保护体11和第二保护体12一体成型。或者可选地,第一保护体11、第二保护体12和第三保护体13一体成型。例如可以在封装后,通过低压注塑或灌胶方式一次成型地在电化学装置的封装壳体上形成上述保护体中的至少一个。可选地,上述保护体还可以是其他易于与本体10的封装壳体一体化成型的材料。
可选地,上述保护体中的至少一个为弹性模量大于5MPa的弹性件。弹性模量大于5MPa的材料制成保护体,该些保护体包覆在本体10并连同本体10装入壳体后,可以通过外壳对层叠的本体10施加适当的力进行压紧,对本体10进行约束。如果弹性模量过小,可能不能抵消外力冲击,导致隔膜局部变形以及化学降解。
本申请实施例提供的电化学装置,在头部,或者头部及尾部,或者在包括头部的四周包覆保护体作为保护装置,可以对电化学装置例如电芯提供保护,提升电化学装置机械可靠性,可以防止电化学装置头部顶封冲开以及头部的角位失效,并对电化学装置的极耳提供一定的降温作用。另外,此保护结构可以在保护头部顶封冲开的同时不妨碍其防暴功能。另外,更为重要的是,此保护结构可在封装工序后形成,可避免后续制作过程中由于机械作用导致的失效。采用此保护结构的电化学装置在后续打包工序(即PACK工序),不需要整体灌胶,也不需要增加泡棉或其他构件等保护装置,可以通过粘结等方式固定在壳体内。也可以通过例如上文已提过的通过电化学装置与壳体,以及各电化学 装置之间的过盈配合产生的相互挤压力固定在壳体中。
在本申请实施例中,在一实现中,电化学装置还可以包括传感器105和导线106,请一并参阅图10至图15所示,传感器105与本体10接触并设置于第一保护体11和本体10之间,传感器105用于采集本体10的预定参数,导线106与传感器105电连接并从第一保护体的第二通孔111伸出,导线106可以与外接设备电连接,使得传感器105将采集到的预定参数传输给外接设备,以执行对应功能。在一些实现中,传感器105包括但不限于为温度传感器,该传感器105可以设置于两个极耳101之间,或者邻近极耳101设置,用于检测极耳101或本体10的温度,外接设备包括但不限于为BMS(Battery Management System,电池管理系统)电路板,用于根据传感器105采集到的温度控制本体10的充电、放电等操作,以确保安全。

环绕配件20通过注塑材料或者灌胶材料连接到本体10,与注塑或灌胶材料一起形成本体头部的第一保护体11。
软包电芯的采用铝塑膜封装,铝塑膜变形空间较大,注塑或者灌胶时不方便定位。将环绕配件20套设在本体10设置有极耳101的一端,注塑时可以通过环绕配件20定位本体10。另外环绕配件20还可以提高注塑或者灌胶设备的适配性。
本申请实施例还提供另一种电化学装置的制造方法,包括:

本体10可以包括单体电池,例如电芯等。本体10设置有极耳101的一端指电化学装置10本体引出极耳101的一端,一般指电芯的头部。优选地,上述第一保护体11可以附着于设置有极耳101的一端(如电芯的头部),并与本体10的该端封装膜一体化。另外,第一保护体11也可以形成为单独的配件,安装于本体10设置有极耳101的一端。
带有第一保护体11的电化学装置100相互叠置,通过一定的连接方式固定在壳体内部,并安装保护电路板等形成电池包。一定连接方式例如可以是通过背胶粘接固定。保护电路板上设置有保护电路,主要用于保护电化学装置不过放、不过充、不过流,还有就是输出短路保护,当然还可以具有其它功能,本实施例对此不做限定。
本体10的头部即出极耳101的一端设置有第一保护体11,可以避免电池包及其组成的产品由于机械作用导致的失效风险。例如,可以在受到冲击或晃动时,防止电解液冲击导致的电化学装置的顶封区被冲开,或者电化学装置的头部角位失效。另外,利用第一保护体的热熔吸热的作用,还可以对电化学装置提供一定的降温作用。
如图19所示,本实施例的电池包与图18所描述实施例的不同之处在于,本实施例的电化学装置100除第一保护体11之外,还包括:设置于本体10第二端的第二保护体12,所述第二端与本体10设置有极耳101的一端相对。
其中优选地,第二保护体12可以附着本体10的尾部,并与尾部封装膜一体化,本体10的尾部即本体10的与设置有极耳101的一端相对的第二端。第二保护体12也可以形成独立的配件,安装于本体10的尾部。
其中,第一保护体11和第二保护体12可以均包覆部分的本体10。第一保护体11和第二保护体12可以对本体10尤其是软包电芯提供加固以及防护作用,使本体10特别是软包电芯易于后续的成组操作。
第一保护体11和第二保护体12可以形成便于堆叠的规则结构,便于多个电化学装置100相互堆叠组成电池包。规则结构指第一保护体11和第二保护体12包裹本体10的头部和尾部,使带有第一保护体11和第二保护体12的电化学装置100整体形成便于相互堆叠结构,该种结构具有便于电化学装置100相互堆叠的接触面,从而使多个电化学装置100可以相互堆叠而延伸,从而达到扩容的目的。规则结构例如可以是正方体、立方体等。
第一保护体11和第二保护体12可以一体成型,例如可以采用通过低压注塑一次成型方式在本体10的设置有极耳101的一端、与该端相对的第二端一次性地形成第一保护体11和第二保护体12。第一保护体11和第二保护体12可以采用灌封胶或者塑料制成。灌封胶或者塑料制成的弹性保护体便于与软包 电芯的封装膜一体化。

本实施例的电池包由于其中的本体10的头部尾部均设置有保护体,可以防止由于机械作用导致本体10的头部和尾部的角位失效。另外,利用第一保护体11和第二保护体12的热熔吸热的作用,还可以对电化学装置100的提供一定的降温作用。
与通过设置支架盒通过背胶粘接固定相比,本实施例的电池包具有可靠、成组工序少,简单方便、易于操作、成本低的优势。与整体灌胶方案相比,本实施例的电池包具有重量轻,组装方便,更节省灌胶材料的优势。
图20为本申请实施例提供的电池包的结构示意图;图21为本申请实施例中多个叠置的电化学装置的立体结构示意图。
如图20和图21所示,本实施例的电池包与图18和图19所描述实施例的不同之处在于,除设置于本体10设置有极耳101的一端的第一保护体11,设置于本体10第二端的第二保护体12之外,本实施例中的电化学装置100还包括:第三保护体13,设置于本体10的第一侧面103,所述第一侧面103与本体10设置有极耳101的一端相连接。
本体10包括与设置有极耳101的一端相连接的多个侧面。所述多个侧面包括本体10的大面102和第一侧面103。例如,对软包电芯来说,第一侧面103可以是具有铝塑膜的折边的侧面。铝塑膜的折边包括密封的粘合处以及经裁切的边缘,这些区域是铝塑膜密封封装的薄弱处。可选地,第三保护体13至少包覆该些薄弱处,为本体10提供加固以及防护。
在其他实施例中,第三保护体13也可以形成独立的配件,安装于电化学装置10的第一侧面103。
可选地,第三保护体13附着本体10的侧边,并与密封膜或密封壳体的侧 边一体化。
图20中的壳体20由相互对合的两部分组成。电池包还包括:保护电路板30。保护电路板30设置于壳体20与第一保护体11之间,并与电化学装置100电连接。保护电路板30隔着第一保护体11设置于电化学装置100上,可以避免电化学装置100与保护电路板30相互摩擦、撞击等机械作用,既保护了电化学装置100也保护了保护电路板30。40为贴在右边的一个标签,50为电池包与外部连接的通讯线束。
第一保护体11、第二保护体12和第三保护体13一起形成便于叠置的规则结构,便于多个电化学装置100相互堆叠组成电池包。规则结构指第一保护体11、第二保护体12和第三保护体13整体形成便于相互叠置的结构,该结构至少具有便于多个电化学装置100相互叠置的接触面。多个电化学装置100相互叠置延伸,从而达到扩容的目的。规则结构例如可以是正方体、立方体等。
可选地,如图21所示,第一保护体11、第二保护体12和第三保护体13整体形成电化学装置10的保护套,并且具有便于相互叠置的外部结构。
优选地,第一保护体11、第二保护体12和第三保护体13一体成型,可以采用通过低压注塑一次成型方式在本体10的设置有极耳101的一端、与设置有极耳101的一端相对的第二端、第一侧面103一次性地形成第一保护体11、第二保护体12和第三保护体13。第一至第三保护体可以采用灌封胶或者塑料制成。第一至第三保护体也可以是其它便于与本体的封装膜一体化的材料。
另外,壳体30与容纳于壳体20内的至少两个的电化学装置过盈配合。本实施例通过过盈配合,壳体20对叠置的电化学装置施加的适当的压力,对壳体内的电化学装置进行约束,从而达到固定壳体内电化学装置的作用。模组制作时更为简单,物料更少,工序更简单。
第一保护体11、第二保护体12和第三保护体13可以采用弹性模量大于5MPa的弹性材料制成。弹性模量大于5MPa的材料制成保护体,该些保护体附着于电化学装置上并连同电化学装置装入壳体20后,通过壳体20与壳体20内的电化学装置过盈配合,可以使壳体20对叠置的电化学装置100施加适当的力进行压紧,对壳体内的电化学装置100进行约束,从而达到固定壳体内电化学装置100的作用。如果保护体弹性模量过小,可能无法抵消外力冲击, 导致隔膜局部变形以及化学降解。如果保护体弹性模量过大,可能无法对壳体内的电化学装置100进行固定。
图22为本申请实施例提供又一种的电池包的结构示意图;图23为本申请实施例提供的电池包的外观示意图。
如图22和图23所示,本实施例的电池包与图20所描述实施例的不同之处在于,本申请的电化学装置100采用两侧出极耳的方案。电化学装置100的头部和尾部分别具有向外延伸的极耳101。
图24为本实施例中设置于电化学装置100侧边的第三保护体13的结构示意图。第三保护体13包括:相对且平行的第一表面201和第二表面202,连接第一表面201和第二表面202的两个侧面,分别为第一侧面203和第二侧面。与第一侧面203相对的第二侧面设置有与本体10的侧边适配的凹槽200。第三保护体13也可以分段设计,即第三保护体13包括三部分,分别包覆侧边的上部、中部和下部。
其中,第一侧面203可以为平面,在其他实施例中,第一侧面203还可以向外突出,形成弧形突起,该弧形突起与模组壳体内侧的弧形安装槽匹配。
在一些实施例中,如图25和图26所示,第三保护体13的第二侧面设置有凹槽200;第三保护体13的第一侧面203向外突出,形成弧形突起。弧形突起与壳体(又称模组壳体)3内侧的弧形槽31匹配。如图26所示,目前有的壳体3内侧设置有用于装配支架盒的弧形槽31,第三保护体13的第一侧面203向外突出,形成与现有壳体3内侧的弧形槽匹配的弧形突起,可以直接利用现有壳体3。
第一保护体11、第二保护体12和第三保护体13可以通过低压注塑等方式直接形成于本体10的密封膜或密封壳体上,并与所述密封膜或密封壳体一体化。
图27为可以应用于图22所描述实施例的电池包中的电化学装置100的结构示意图。电化学装置100采用双侧出极耳的方案,同时在电化学装置100出极耳的头部和尾部分别设置包覆本体10的第一保护体11和第二保护体12。第三保护体13可以省去。
本实施例进一步提供了一种电池模组,该电池模组由一个或多个经过包覆 预处理的电芯组成。经过包覆预处理的电芯在设置有极耳的一端形成有包裹物,电芯极耳伸出包裹区域。电芯与包裹物一体化成型。所述电芯可以单侧出极耳,也可以双侧出极耳。如果是单侧出极耳,包覆物可以同时包覆在极耳侧和底部非极耳侧,包覆物与电芯一体化成型。所述电芯可以与壳体结构或其他支撑结构粘接,也可以不发生粘接,通过相互挤压产生的约束力固定。此模组结构可以防止电芯头部顶封区冲开;此模组结构可以防止电芯头部和尾部角位失效;此模组结构对电芯极耳提供一定的降温作用;此模组结构具有成本低,可靠性高的特点。下面从组装工序的角度进一步对本方案进行叙述。

S2、将至少两个电化学装置100叠置在一起形成电池包;
S3、将保护电路板和电池包设置于电池包的壳体内。
可选地,步骤S1还在本体10的第二端形成第二保护体12,所述第二端与本体10设置有极耳101的一端相对。步骤S3中,可以使电池包与壳体过盈配合,使壳体20对叠置的电化学装置100产生压力,使用该压力将电化学装置100固定在壳体20内。第一、第二保护体12分别对本体10的头部和尾部进行加固以及防护,使电化学装置100便于操作。
进一步地,步骤S1还在本体10的侧边形成第三保护体13。第一、第二以及第三保护体构成本体10的完整加固以及防护装置,使本体10便于操作。
其中,步骤S1形成保护体时,可以使第一、第二以及第三保护体或者其中一个或几个与本体10的密封膜或密封壳体一体化,形成一个整体。
例如,步骤S1可以通过低压注塑一次成型方式在本体10的设置有极耳的一端、与设置有极耳的一端相对的第二端以及连接极耳端和第二端的侧边形成第一保护体11、第二保护和第三保护体13。形成的保护体附着在本体10上。 该方式加工简单,成本低。
