发明内容
本申请提供了一种电池单体、电池以及用电装置,其能提高电池单体的安全性。
第一方面,本申请实施例提供了一种电池单体,其包括壳体、电极组件、第一电极端子以及盖板。壳体包括一体形成的筒体和盖体,筒体在背离盖体的一端具有开口。电极组件容纳于壳体内且包括第一极耳。第一电极端子设置于盖体并用于与第一极耳电连接。盖板连接于筒体并盖合开口。
在上述技术方案中,通过将第一电极端子安装到盖体且盖板盖合于筒体的开口,可增大筒体和盖板的连接处与第一电极端子之间的间距,从而在电池单体受到外部冲击时减小对筒体和盖板的连接处的影响,降低盖板与壳体之间的连接失效的风险,减少电解液泄露,提高安全性。
在一些实施例中,盖板焊接于筒体。
在上述技术方案中,焊接既可以实现盖板与筒体的连接,还能改善盖板和筒体连接处的密封性。将第一电极端子安装于盖体,可增大筒体和盖板的焊接处与第一电极端子之间的间距,从而在第一电极端子受到外力拉扯时,减小盖板和筒体的焊接处 受到的影响,从而降低盖板和筒体的焊接处开裂的风险,提高密封性。
在一些实施例中,盖板通过密封件与筒体密封连接。
在上述技术方案中,通过在盖板和筒体之间设置密封件,可提高电池单体的密封性。
在一些实施例中,第一电极端子用于与电池的第一汇流部件连接。第一电极端子作为电池单体的输出电极,可与第一汇流部件连接,以便于实现电池单体之间的电连接。
在电池单体受到外部冲击时,第一汇流部件可能会拉扯第一电极端子;上述技术方案将第一电极端子设置在远离盖板的盖体上,以增大筒体和盖板的连接处与第一电极端子之间的间距,从而在电池单体受到外部冲击时减小筒体和盖板的连接处受到的影响,降低盖板与壳体之间的连接失效的风险,减少电解液泄露,提高安全性。
在一些实施例中,电极组件还包括第二极耳,第二极耳的极性与第一极耳的极性相反。电池单体还包括与第二极耳电连接的第二电极端子,第二电极端子用于与电池的第二汇流部件连接。
在上述技术方案中,第一电极端子和第二电极端子可作为电池单体的两个输出电极,以实现电池单体与外部电路的电连接。
在一些实施例中,第二电极端子设置于盖体。
在上述技术方案中,第一电极端子和第二电极端子位于电池单体的同一端,这样,第一汇流部件和第二汇流部件可以装配到电池单体的同一侧,这样可以简化装配工艺,提高多个电池单体装配成组的效率。将第二电极端子设置在远离盖板的盖体上,以增大筒体和盖板的连接处与第二电极端子之间的间距,从而在电池单体受到外部冲击时减小筒体和盖板的连接处受到的影响,降低盖板与壳体之间的连接失效的风险,减少电解液泄露,提高安全性。
在一些实施例中,第一电极端子和第二电极端子均凸出于盖体的外表面,以降低盖体干涉汇流部件的风险,简化汇流部件与电极端子的连接工艺。
在一些实施例中,第一电极端子和第二电极端子均与盖体绝缘。
在上述技术方案中,壳体不带电,从而降低漏电风险,提高安全性。
在一些实施例中,壳体的基体材质为铝。
在上述技术方案中,铝制的壳体具有较小的重量,这样可以提高电池单体的能量密度。壳体不带电,所以铝制的壳体不易被电解液腐蚀。
在一些实施例中,电极组件还包括主体部。第一极耳和第二极耳均从主体部面向盖体的端部伸出,以减小第一极耳与第一电极端子的距离以及第二极耳与第二电极端子的距离。
在一些实施例中,电极组件还包括第二极耳,第二极耳的极性与第一极耳的极性相反。盖体电连接于第二极耳,且盖体用于与电池的第二汇流部件连接。
在上述技术方案中,通过将盖体和第一电极端子作为电池单体的两个输出电极,可以简化电池单体的结构,并保证电池单体的过流能力。第一电极端子和盖体位于电池单体的同一端,这样,第一汇流部件和第二汇流部件可以装配到电池单体的同一侧, 这样可以简化装配工艺,提高多个电池单体装配成组的效率。将第二汇流部件连接到盖体,可增大盖板和筒体的连接处与第二汇流部件和盖体的连接处之间的间距,从而在电池单体受到外部冲击时减小筒体和盖板的连接处受到的影响,降低盖板与壳体之间的连接失效的风险,减少电解液泄露,提高安全性。
在一些实施例中,第一极耳设于电极组件面向盖体的一端,第二极耳设于电极组件面向盖板的一端。盖体通过筒体电连接于第二极耳。
在上述技术方案中,将第一极耳和第二极耳分别设于电极组件相对的两端,可以增大第一极耳和第二极耳之间的间距,降低第一极耳和第二极耳导通的风险,提高安全性。通过筒体实现盖体与第二极耳的电连接,可以省去将盖体和第二极耳连接的部件;由于盖体和筒体为一体式结构,所以盖体和筒体连接处的电阻较小,从而提升过流能力。
在一些实施例中,第二极耳为负极极耳,壳体的基体材质为钢。
壳体与负极极耳电连接,即壳体处于低电位状态。在上述技术方案中,钢制的壳体在低电位状态下不易被电解液腐蚀。
在一些实施例中,盖体包括本体部和弯折部,弯折部一体连接于筒体和本体部。
在上述技术方案中,弯折部可以在壳体的成型过程中释放应力,减小应力集中,降低壳体破裂的风险。
在一些实施例中,本体部的厚度大于筒体的壁厚。
在上述技术方案中,具有较大厚度的本体部可以更好的支撑第一电极端子等构件;在第一电极端子受到外力拉扯时,具有较大厚度的本体部的变形较小。筒体主要是将电极组件与外界隔开,其可以具有相对较小的厚度,从而减小电池单体整体的重量,提高能量密度。
在一些实施例中,盖体包括从本体部的外表面沿面向电极组件的方向凹陷的容纳凹部。容纳凹部的底壁设有第一电极引出孔,第一电极端子安装于第一电极引出孔。
在上述技术方案中,通过设置容纳凹部,可以减小第一电极端子的凸出本体部的外表面的尺寸,以减小电池单体的最大尺寸,提高电池单体的能量密度。
在一些实施例中,本体部的厚度D1和筒体的壁厚D2满足:0.1毫米≤D1-D2≤2毫米。
如果D1-D2过小,那么本体部的厚度偏小或者筒体的厚度偏大,本体部的厚度偏小会造成本体部的强度不足,而筒体的厚度偏大会造成筒体的重量偏大,影响能量密度。如果D1-D2过大,那么在壳体拉伸成型过程中,本体部的拉伸量和筒体的拉伸量差异过大,筒体容易在拉伸过程中破损。上述技术方案将D1-D2的值限定在0.1mm-2mm,可使壳体的强度满足要求,并降低电池单体的能量密度的损失。
在一些实施例中,第一电极端子包括第一凹部和位于第一凹部底部的第一连接部。第一连接部用于通过第一焊接部实现与第一极耳的电连接。
在上述技术方案中,通过在第一电极端子上开设第一凹部来减小第一连接部的厚度,从而减小焊接所需的焊接功率,减少产热,降低其它构件被烧伤的风险,提高安全性。第一焊接部可以减小第一电极端子和第一极耳之间的电阻,提高过流能力。
在一些实施例中,第一连接部焊接于第一极耳,以形成第一焊接部。
上述技术方案可缩短第一电极端子与第一极耳之间的导电路径,减小电阻,提升电池单体的能量密度和过流能力。
在一些实施例中,电池单体还包括连接于第一极耳的集流构件。第一连接部焊接于集流构件,以形成第一焊接部。
在上述技术方案中,通过设置集流构件,可减小第一极耳不同位置的部分与第一电极端子之间的电流路径的差异,提高电极组件的第一极片的电流密度的均匀性,降低内阻,提高过流能力。
在一些实施例中,第一电极端子包括端子主体和密封板,端子主体包括第一凹部和第一连接部,第一连接部位于第一凹部面向电极组件的一侧。密封板连接于端子主体并封闭第一凹部的开口。
在上述技术方案中,密封板可以从外侧保护第一连接部,减少进入第一凹部的外部杂质,降低第一连接部被外部杂质损伤的风险,提高电池单体的密封性能。
在一些实施例中,密封板的至少部分容纳于第一凹部。
在上述技术方案中,第一凹部能够为密封板提供容纳空间,从而减小密封板凸出端子主体的尺寸,降低第一电极端子占用的空间,提高电池单体的能量密度。
在一些实施例中,密封板凸出于端子主体背离电极组件的表面。
在上述技术方案中,密封板的至少部分凸出于端子主体背离电极组件的表面,以降低端子主体干涉密封板和第一汇流部件的贴合的风险,降低虚焊风险。
在一些实施例中,密封板与第一连接部之间设有间隙。
第一焊接部的表面凹凸不平,如果密封板抵压在第一焊接部上,将会导致密封板在装配过程中晃动,影响密封效果。上述技术方案通过在密封板与第一连接部之间设置间隙,以将密封板与第一焊接部避开,降低密封板与第一焊接部直接接触的风险,减小密封板在装配过程中的晃动,保证密封效果。
在一些实施例中,第一连接部设有用于注入电解液的通孔。
在上述技术方案中,通过在第一电极端子的第一连接部上开设用于注入电解液的通孔,可减小壳体在注液过程中的变形,简化电池单体的结构,降低通孔对壳体强度的影响。
在一些实施例中,电极组件还包括第二极耳,第二极耳的极性与第一极耳的极性相反。电池单体还包括设于盖体的第二电极端子,第二电极端子包括第二凹部和位于第二凹部底部的第二连接部。第二连接部用于通过第二焊接部实现与第二极耳的电连接。
在上述技术方案中,通过在第二电极端子上开设第二凹部来减小第二连接部的厚度,从而减小焊接所需的焊接功率,减少产热,降低其它构件被烧伤的风险,提高安全性。第二焊接部可以减小第二电极端子和第二极耳之间的电阻,提高过流能力。

本申请中,电池单体可以包括锂离子二次电池单体、锂离子一次电池单体、锂硫电池单体、钠锂离子电池单体、钠离子电池单体或镁离子电池单体等,本申请实施例对此并不限定。
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,电极组件包括正极极片、负极极片和隔离件。电池单体主要依靠金属离子在正极极片和负极极片之间移动来工作。正极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;正极集流体包括正极集流部和正极极耳,正极集流部涂覆有正极活性物质层,正极极耳未涂覆正极活性物质层。以锂离子电池为例,正极集流体的材料可以为铝,正极活性物质层包括正极活性物质,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;负极集流体包括负极集流部和负极极耳,负极集流部涂覆有负极活性物质层,负极极耳未涂覆负极活性物质层。负极集流体的材料可以为铜,负极活性物质层包括负极活性物质,负极活性物质可以为碳或硅等。隔离件的材质可以为PP(polypropylene,聚丙烯)或PE(polyethylene,聚乙烯)等。

为了将电极组件中的电能引出,电池单体通常还设置有电极端子,电极端子用于将电极组件电连接到外部电路,以实现电极组件的充放电。
在电池中,电极端子需要与外部构件(例如汇流部件、检测线束等部件)连接。在电池单体受到外部冲击时,外部构件会拉扯电极端子。在相关技术中,电极端子通常安装在盖板上,受盖板尺寸的限制,盖板和壳体的连接处(例如焊接处)与电极端子之间的间距较小;当电极端子受到外部构件的拉扯时,电极端子会对盖板施加作用力,作用力传导至盖板和壳体的连接处,可能会造成盖板与壳体之间的连接失效,引发电解液泄露的风险,造成安全隐患。
鉴于此,本申请实施例提供了一种技术方案,通过将电极端子安装到壳体的远离盖板的一端,可增大盖板和壳体的连接处与电极端子之间的间距,在电池单体受到外部冲击时减小盖板和壳体的连接处受到的影响,降低造成盖板与壳体之间的连接失效的风险,提高安全性。

焊接既可以实现盖板40与筒体21的连接,还能改善盖板40和筒体21连接处 的密封性。将第一电极端子30安装于盖体22,可增大盖板40和筒体21的焊接处与第一电极端子30的间距,从而在第一电极端子30受到外力拉扯时,减小盖板40和筒体21的焊接处受到的影响,从而降低盖板40和筒体21的焊接处开裂的风险,提高密封性。
在一些实施例中,盖板40通过激光焊接与筒体21相连。

第一电极端子30作为电池单体7的输出电极,可与第一汇流部件81连接,以便于实现电池单体7之间的电连接。
在电池单体7受到外部冲击时,第一汇流部件81可能会拉扯第一电极端子30;本申请实施例将第一电极端子30设置在远离盖板40的盖体22上,以增大筒体21和盖板40的连接处与第一电极端子30之间的间距,从而在电池单体7受到外部冲击时减小筒体21和盖板40的连接处受到的影响,降低盖板40与壳体20之间的连接失效的风险,减少电解液泄露,提高安全性。
在一些实施例中,电极组件10还包括第二极耳12,第二极耳12的极性与第一极耳11的极性相反。盖体22电连接于第二极耳12,且盖体22用于与电池的第二汇流部件82连接。

第一电极端子30绝缘设置于盖体22,第一电极端子30和盖体22可以具有不同的极性,第一电极端子30和盖体22可以作为不同的输出电极。
在第二极耳12为负极极耳、第一极耳11为正极极耳时,盖体22为电池单体7的负输出极,而第一电极端子30为电池单体7的正输出极。在第二极耳12为正极极耳、第一极耳11为负极极耳时,盖体22为电池单体7的正输出极,而第一电极端子 30为电池单体7的负输出极。

在本实施例中,通过将盖体22和第一电极端子30作为电池单体7的两个输出电极,可以简化电池单体7的结构,并保证电池单体7的过流能力。第一电极端子30和盖体22位于电池单体7的同一端,这样,第一汇流部件81和第二汇流部件82可以装配到电池单体7的同一侧,这样可以简化装配工艺,提高多个电池单体7装配成组的效率。
在电池单体7受到外部冲击时,第二汇流部件82可能会拉扯盖体22;将第二汇流部件82连接到盖体22,可增大盖板40和筒体21的连接处与第二汇流部件82和盖体22的连接处之间的间距,从而在电池单体7受到外部冲击时减小筒体21和盖板40的连接处受到的影响,降低盖板40与壳体20之间的连接失效的风险,减少电解液泄露,提高安全性。

将第一极耳11和第二极耳12分别设于电极组件10相对的两端,可以增大第一极耳11和第二极耳12之间的间距,降低第一极耳11和第二极耳12导通的风险,提高安全性。通过筒体21实现盖体22与第二极耳12的电连接,可以省去将盖体22和第二极耳12连接的部件;由于盖体22和筒体21为一体式结构,所以盖体22和筒体21连接处的电阻较小,从而提升过流能力。
在一些实施例中,第二极耳12为负极极耳,壳体20的基体材质为钢。
基体材质是壳体20的材质组成中的主要成分。
壳体20与负极极耳电连接,即壳体20处于低电位状态。钢制的壳体20在低电位状态下不易被电解液腐蚀。
在一些实施例中,电极组件10可为圆柱体。
电极组件10具有中心轴线。电极组件10的中心轴线是一条虚拟的直线。第一极片、第二极片和隔离件可以中心轴线为基准进行卷绕。

图8为本申请一些实施例提供的电池单体的壳体的局部剖视示意图。
请一并参照图5至图8,在一些实施例中,盖体22包括本体部2221和弯折部223,弯折部223一体连接于筒体21和本体部2221。
本实施例对本体部2221的厚度、弯折部223的厚度以及筒体21的壁厚不作限制,三者的厚度可以根据需求确定。
弯折部223环绕本体部2221一周并相对于本体部2221弯折。
在本申请实施例中,弯折部223可以在壳体20的成型过程中释放应力,减小应力集中,降低壳体20破裂的风险。
在一些实施例中,盖体22设有第一电极引出孔221,第一电极引出孔221贯通盖体22,以便于电极组件10中的电能引出到壳体20的外部。示例性地,第一电极引出孔221沿盖体22的厚度方向贯通盖体22。
第一电极引出孔221可以开设于本体部2221,即第一电极引出孔221直接由本体部2221围合而成。可替代地,第一电极引出孔221也可以开设于盖体22的其它部分。
第一电极端子30用于与第一电极引出孔221配合,以覆盖第一电极引出孔221。第一电极端子30可以伸入第一电极引出孔221,也可以不伸入第一电极引出孔221。第一电极端子30固定于盖体22。第一电极端子30可以整体固定在盖体22的外侧,也可以通过第一电极引出孔221伸入到壳体20的内部。
在一些实施例中,盖体22电连接于第二极耳12。可选地,本体部2221至少一部分用于连接第二汇流部件82。
本体部2221可为板状结构。具有板状结构的本体部2221可以更好的与第二汇流部件82贴合,从而保证两者之间的连接强度和过流面积。
第二汇流部件82可通过焊接、粘接或其它方式连接到本体部2221,以实现第二汇流部件82和盖体22的电连接。
在一些实施例中,本体部2221为环形的板状结构,其沿着第一电极引出孔221的周向延伸,以围绕第一电极引出孔221。
在一些实施例中,筒体21为圆筒状,第一电极引出孔221为圆孔,筒体21的中心轴和第一电极引出孔221的中心轴重合设置。“重合设置”并不要求筒体21的中心轴和第一电极引出孔221的中心轴绝对地完全重合,可以存在工艺允许的偏差。
第一电极引出孔221用于限定第一电极端子30的位置,本实施例将第一电极引出孔221的中心轴与筒体21的中心轴重合设置,可以使第一电极端子30的至少部分位于盖体22的中心位置。这样,当多个电池单体7装配成组时,可以降低对第一电极端子30的位置精度的要求,简化装配工艺,提高装配效率。
在一些实施例中,本体部2221的厚度大于筒体21的壁厚。
具有较大厚度的本体部2221可以更好的支撑第一电极端子30等构件;在第一电极端子30受到外力拉扯时,具有较大厚度的本体部2221的变形较小。筒体21主要是将电极组件10与外界隔开,其可以具有相对较小的厚度,从而减小电池单体7整体的重量,提高能量密度。
在一些实施例中,本体部2221可用于连接第二汇流部件82。本体部2221需要具有较大的厚度,以保证本体部2221和第二汇流部件82之间的连接强度。
示例性地,本体部2221焊接于第二汇流部件82。如果本体部2221的厚度过小,那么本体部2221容易在焊接的过程中被熔穿;因此,本申请实施例的本体部2221具有较大的厚度。
在一些实施例中,本体部2221为厚度均匀的平板结构。
在一些实施例中,本体部2221具有沿自身厚度方向相对设置的内表面222a和外表面222b,本体部2221的内表面222a面向电极组件10,本体部2221的外表面222b背向电极组件10。可选地,内表面222a和外表面222b均为平面。
在一些实施例中,本体部2221的厚度D1和筒体21的壁厚D2满足:0.1毫米≤D1-D2≤2毫米。
如果D1-D2小于0.1mm,那么本体部2221的厚度偏小或者筒体21的厚度偏大,本体部2221的厚度偏小会造成本体部2221的强度不足,而筒体21的厚度偏大会造成筒体21的重量偏大,影响能量密度。壳体20可使用平板拉伸而成。如果D1-D2大于2mm,那么在拉伸成型过程中,本体部2221的拉伸量和筒体21的拉伸量差异过大,筒体21容易在拉伸过程中破损。
发明人在经过深入的研究和大量的实验之后发现,将D1-D2的值限定在0.1mm-2mm,可使壳体20的强度满足要求,并降低电池单体7的能量密度的损失。
可选地,D1-D2的值为0.1mm、0.2mm、0.3mm、0.5mm、0.8mm、1mm、1.2mm、1.5mm、1.8mm或2mm。
在一些实施例中,盖体22包括从本体部2221的外表面222b沿面向电极组件10的方向凹陷的容纳凹部2222。容纳凹部2222的底壁设有第一电极引出孔221,第一电极端子30安装于第一电极引出孔221。
本体部2221环绕容纳凹部2222的外周设置。第一电极引出孔221贯穿容纳凹部2222的底壁,并将容纳凹部2222与壳体20的内部连通。
通过设置容纳凹部2222,可以减小第一电极端子30的凸出本体部2221的外表 面222b的尺寸,进而减小电池单体的最大尺寸,提高电池单体的能量密度。
在一些实施例中,电池单体7还包括第一绝缘构件61,容纳凹部2222被配置为容纳第一绝缘构件61的至少一部分,第一绝缘构件61容纳于容纳凹部2222内的部分附接于容纳凹部2222的侧壁和/或底壁。
第一电极端子30固定于盖体22。示例性地,容纳凹部2222的底壁可用于与第一电极端子30配合固定。
第一绝缘构件61用于将第一电极端子30的至少部分与盖体22绝缘隔开。示例性地,第一绝缘构件61的至少部分夹持于容纳凹部2222的底壁和第一电极端子30之间,以将容纳凹部2222的底壁和第一电极端子30绝缘隔开,降低短路风险。
本实施例既可以是第一绝缘构件61的一部分容纳于容纳凹部2222内,也可以是第一绝缘构件61整体容纳于容纳凹部2222内。
第一绝缘构件61容纳于容纳凹部2222内的部分可以仅附接于容纳凹部2222的侧壁,也可以仅附接于容纳凹部2222的底壁,还可以同时附接于容纳凹部2222的底壁和侧壁。
“附接”是指将两个构件贴附接触,两个构件之间可以是贴附并固定,也可以仅是贴附而不固定。例如,第一电极端子30和容纳凹部2222的底壁从两侧夹持第一绝缘构件61的容纳于容纳凹部2222内的部分,第一绝缘构件61的容纳于容纳凹部2222内的部分在夹持力的作用下附接在容纳凹部2222的底壁。当然,第一绝缘构件61的容纳于容纳凹部2222内的部分也可以通过粘接剂附接在容纳凹部2222的底壁。
本实施例通过设置容纳凹部2222,可以对第一绝缘构件61进行定位,简化装配工艺。容纳凹部2222能够容纳第一绝缘构件61的至少部分,这样能够减小第一绝缘构件61和第一电极端子30凸出本体部2221的外表面222b的尺寸,以减小电池单体7的最大尺寸,提高能量密度。
在一些实施例中,本体部2221的外表面222b露出,其未被第一电极端子30和第一绝缘构件61覆盖。
在一些实施例中,盖体22上与容纳凹部2222相对的位置形成有从本体部2221的内表面222a沿面向电极组件10的方向凸出的盖体凸部2223。本实施例通过设置盖体凸部2223,可以增大容纳凹部2222的底壁的厚度,以提高容纳凹部2222的底壁的强度,使容纳凹部2222的底壁能够有效地支撑第一电极端子30。
在一些实施例中,容纳凹部2222和盖体凸部2223可通过冲压盖体22形成。
图9为图6在圆框C处的放大示意图;图10为本申请一些实施例提供的第一电极端子的剖视示意图。

第一连接部32为第一电极端子30的与第一凹部31的底面相对应的部分。
第一连接部32与其它部件焊接以形成第一焊接部W1。电流通过第一焊接部W1在第一电极端子30和第一极耳11之间传导。
在一些示例中,第一连接部32可以直接焊接于第一极耳11,以形成第一焊接部W1。例如,第一连接部32的一部分和第一极耳11的一部分熔化并形成熔池,熔池凝固后形成第一焊接部W1。
在另一些可替代地示例中,第一连接部32焊接于与第一极耳11相连的其它部件(例如后述的集流构件),以形成第一焊接部W1。例如,第一连接部32的一部分和集流构件的一部分熔化并形成熔池,熔池凝固后形成第一焊接部W1。
本申请实施例对第一焊接部W1的形状、位置、深度以及数量不作特殊限制。例如,第一焊接部W1的形状可以是直线形、C形、环形、螺旋形、V形或其它形状。第一焊接部W1可以为一个,也可以为多个。
在本申请实施例中,通过在第一电极端子30上开设第一凹部31来减小第一连接部32的厚度,从而减小焊接所需的焊接功率,减少产热,降低其它构件被烧伤的风险,提高安全性。第一焊接部W1可以减小第一电极端子30和第一极耳11之间的电阻,提高过流能力。
示例性地,焊接设备可在第一连接部32的面向第一凹部31的表面照射激光,激光将第一连接部32的一部分和位于第一连接部32内侧的部件的一部分熔化并形成熔池,熔池凝固后形成第一焊接部W1。
在一些实施例中,电池单体7还包括连接于第一极耳11的集流构件50。第一连接部32焊接于集流构件50,以形成第一焊接部W1。
集流构件50将第一极耳11电连接于第一电极端子30。本申请实施例不限制第一极耳11和集流构件50的连接方式,例如,集流构件50可以通过焊接、抵接或粘接等方式连接于第一极耳11。
受第一连接部32的尺寸限制,第一极耳11的能够直接与第一连接部32相连的极耳层的个数有限,影响第一极片的电流密度的均匀性。相较于第一电极端子30,集流构件50与第一极耳11之间可具有较大的连接面积,集流构件50可以和更多的极耳层连接。通过设置集流构件50,可减小第一极耳11不同位置的部分与第一电极端子30之间的电流路径的差异,提高电极组件10的第一极片的电流密度的均匀性,降低内阻,提高过流能力。
在一些实施例中,第一电极端子30包括端子主体34和密封板33,端子主体34包括第一凹部31和第一连接部32,第一连接部32位于第一凹部31面向电极组件10的一侧。密封板33连接于端子主体34并封闭第一凹部31的开口。
密封板33可以整体位于第一凹部31的外侧,也可以部分地容纳于第一凹部31内,只要密封板33能够封闭第一凹部31的开口即可。
密封板33可以从外侧保护第一连接部32,减少进入第一凹部31的外部杂质,降低第一连接部32被外部杂质损伤的风险,提高电池单体7的密封性能。
在一些实施例中,密封板33的至少部分容纳于第一凹部31。
密封板33可以整体容纳于第一凹部31内,也可以部分地容纳于第一凹部31内。
第一凹部31能够为密封板33提供容纳空间,从而减小密封板33凸出端子主体34的尺寸,降低第一电极端子30占用的空间,提高电池单体7的能量密度。
在一些实施例中,密封板33可用于与电池的第一汇流部件81连接。当需要焊接第一汇流部件81和密封板33时,先将第一汇流部件81贴合到密封板33的上表面(即密封板33的背离第一连接部32的外表面),然后再焊接第一汇流部件81和密封板33。
在一些实施例中,密封板33凸出于端子主体34背离电极组件10的表面。
密封板33的至少部分凸出于端子主体34背离电极组件10的表面,以降低端子主体34干涉密封板33和第一汇流部件81的贴合的风险,降低虚焊风险。
在一些实施例中,密封板33与第一连接部32之间设有间隙。间隙可用于避让第一焊接部W1。
第一焊接部W1的表面凹凸不平,如果密封板33抵压在第一焊接部W1上,将会导致密封板33在装配过程中晃动,影响密封效果。本实施例通过在密封板33与第一连接部32之间设置间隙,以将密封板33与第一焊接部W1避开,降低密封板33与第一焊接部W1直接接触的风险,减小密封板33在装配过程中的晃动,保证密封效果。
在一些实施例中,第一凹部31的侧壁上设置有台阶面311,密封板33至少一部分容纳于第一凹部31,并且台阶面311用于支撑密封板33。
第一凹部31是外大内小的台阶式凹部。
在装配密封板33时,台阶面311可以支撑密封板33并对密封板33进行定位,从而简化装配工艺,并在密封板33与第一连接部32之间形成间隙。
在一些实施例中,密封板33焊接于第一凹部31的侧壁,以封闭第一凹部31的开口。
在一些实施例中,第一连接部32上设有从第一连接部32的第一外表面322沿面向电极组件10的方向凹陷的凹槽324。
第一连接部32具有沿自身厚度方向相对设置的第一外表面322和第一内表面321,第一内表面321面向电极组件10,第一外表面322背向电极组件10。可选地,第一外表面322和第一内表面321均为平面。凹槽324相对于第一外表面322沿面向电极组件10的方向凹陷。
凹槽324的底面和第一内表面321之间的部分用于与其它部件焊接并形成第一焊接部W1。
本实施例通过在第一连接部32上开设凹槽324,以在第一连接部32上形成台阶结构。第一外表面322和凹槽324的底面之间形成间隙。
在电池单体7的生产过程中,外部设备需要与第一连接部32配合。第一焊接部W1的表面凹凸不平,如果外部设备压合在第一焊接部W1上,外部设备容易被第一焊接部W1压伤。本实施例通过设置凹槽324,以在第一外表面322和凹槽324的底面之间形成间隙,这样,第一外表面322可用于支撑外部设备,以将外部设备与第一焊接部 W1隔开,降低外部设备被压伤的风险。
示例性地,外部设备可为注液设备、抽气设备、焊接设备或其它用于电池单体7的设备。
在一些实施例中,第一连接部32设有用于注入电解液的通孔323。
通孔323可以为一个,也可以为多个。
在电池单体7的成型过程中,通孔323可将壳体20外侧的空间与壳体20的内部空间连通。当需要注液时,注液设备的注液头抵压在第一连接部32上,然后注液头通过通孔323向壳体20内注入电解液。
示例性地,在注液时,注液头抵压在第一外表面322上,第一外表面322可以支撑注液头,并与注液头配合实现密封,降低电解液泄漏到电池单体7外部的风险。
通过在第一电极端子30的第一连接部32上开设用于注入电解液的通孔323,可减小壳体20在注液过程中的变形,简化电池单体7的结构,降低通孔323对壳体20强度的影响。
在一些实施例中,密封板33用于密封通孔323。在与通孔323相关的工艺完成后,将密封板33连接到端子主体34,以降低电解液经由通孔323泄露的风险,提高密封性能。

图12为本申请另一些实施例提供的电池单体的剖视示意图;图13为图12在方框D处的放大示意图。
如图12和图13所示,在一些实施例中,盖板40通过密封件70与筒体21密封连接。通过在盖板40和筒体21之间设置密封件70,可提高电池单体7的密封性。

可替代地,第二电极端子90也可通过其它导电构件间接地连接于第二极耳12,以实现第二电极端子90与第二极耳12的电连接。示例性地,导电构件可同时连接于第二极耳12和第二电极端子90,以实现第二电极端子90与第二极耳12的电连接。
用于与电池单体7的第二电极端子90电连接的汇流部件可称之为与该电池单体7对应的第二汇流部件82。第二汇流部件82可通过焊接、粘接或其它方式连接到第二电极端子90,以实现第二汇流部件82和第二电极端子90的电连接。
示例性地,第一汇流部件81连接一个电池单体7的第一电极端子30和另一个电池单体7的第二电极端子90,而第二汇流部件82连接该一个电池单体7的第二电极端子90和再一个电池单体7的第一电极端子30,这样,第一汇流部件81和第二汇流部件82将三个电池单体7串联。
第一电极端子30和第二电极端子90可作为电池单体7的两个输出电极,以实现电池单体7与外部电路的电连接。
第二电极端子90替代盖体22作为输出电极,可以减少盖体22上的焊接应力,降低对壳体20的强度要求。
在一些实施例中,第二电极端子90设置于盖体22。
第一电极端子30和第二电极端子90位于电池单体7的同一端,这样,第一汇流部件81和第二汇流部件82可以装配到电池单体7的同一侧,这样可以简化装配工艺,提高多个电池单体7装配成组的效率。将第二电极端子90设置在远离盖板40的盖体22上,以增大筒体21和盖板40的连接处与第二电极端子90之间的间距,从而在电池单体7受到外部冲击时减小筒体21和盖板40的连接处受到的影响,降低盖板40与壳体20之间的连接失效的风险,减少电解液泄露,提高安全性。
在一些实施例中,盖体22上还设有第二电极引出孔。第二电极端子90安装于第二电极引出孔。

本实施例可以使壳体20不带电,从而降低漏电风险,提高安全性。
在一些实施例中,壳体20的基体材质为铝。铝制的壳体20具有较小的重量,这样可以提高电池单体7的能量密度。壳体20不带电,所以铝制的壳体20不易被电解液腐蚀。
在一些实施例中,电极组件10还包括主体部13。第一极耳11和第二极耳12均从主体部13面向盖体22的端部伸出,以减小第一极耳11与第一电极端子30的距离以及第二极耳12与第二电极端子90的距离。
在一些实施例中,第一电极端子30包括端子主体34和密封板33。端子主体34包括第一凹部31和第一连接部32,第一连接部32位于第一凹部31面向电极组件10的一侧。密封板33连接于端子主体34并封闭第一凹部31的开口。
在一些可替代的实施例中,可以在盖体22或盖板40上开设用于注液的通孔。对应地,第一连接部32上的通孔可以省去。第一电极端子30的密封板33可以保留,也可以省去。
在一些实施例中,电极组件10还包括第二极耳12,第二极耳12的极性与第一极耳11的极性相反。电池单体7还包括设于盖体22的第二电极端子90,第二电极端子90包括第二凹部91和位于第二凹部91底部的第二连接部92。第二连接部92用于通过第二焊接部W2实现与第二极耳12的电连接。
在一些示例中,第二连接部92可以直接焊接于第二极耳12,以形成第二焊接部W2。例如,第二连接部92的一部分和第二极耳12的一部分熔化并形成熔池,熔池凝固后形成第二焊接部W2。
在另一些可替代地示例中,第二连接部92焊接于与第二极耳12相连的其它部件(例如另一个集流构件52),以形成第二焊接部W2。例如,第二连接部92的一部分和集流构件52的一部分熔化并形成熔池,熔池凝固后形成第二焊接部W2。
在本申请实施例中,通过在第二电极端子90上开设第二凹部91来减小第二连接部92的厚度,从而减小焊接所需的焊接功率,减少产热,降低其它构件被烧伤的风险,提高安全性。第二焊接部W2可以减小第二电极端子90和第二极耳12之间的电阻,提高过流能力。
在一些实施例中,第二电极端子90可与第一电极端子30采用相同的结构。换言之,第二电极端子90也包括端子主体和密封板。
在一些实施例中,电池单体7可为方形电池单体。示例性地,筒体21可为方筒。
在一些实施例中,盖体22可为长方形,电极组件10呈扁平状。第一电极引出孔和第二电极引出孔可分别靠近盖体22沿自身的长度方向的两端设置。
