在本申请实施例的描述中,技术术语“第一”“第二”等仅用于区别不同对象,而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性或者隐含指明所指示的技术特征的数量、特定顺序或主次关系。在本申请实施例的描述中,“多个”的含义是两个以上,除非另有明确具体的限定。
在本文中提及“实施例”意味着,结合实施例描述的特定特征、结构或特性可以包含在本申请的至少一个实施例中。在说明书中的各个位置出现该短语并不一定均是指相同的实施例,也不是与其它实施例互斥的独立的或备选的实施例。本领域技术人员显式地和隐式地理解的是,本文所描述的实施例可以与其它实施例相结合。

在本申请实施例的描述中,技术术语“中心”“纵向”“横向”“长度”“宽度”“厚度”“上”“下”“前”“后”“左”“右”“竖直”“水平”“顶”“底”“内”“外”“顺时针”“逆时针”“轴向”“径向”“周向”等指示的方位或位置关系为基于附图所示的方位或位置关系,仅是为了便于描述本申请实施例和简化描述,而不是指示或暗示所指的装置或元件必须具有特定的方位、以特定的方位构造和操作,因此不能理解为对本申请实施例的限制。

目前,从市场形势的发展来看,动力电池的应用越加广泛。动力电池不仅被应用于水力、火力、风力和太阳能电站等储能电源系统,而且还被广泛应用于电动自行车、电动摩托车、电动汽车等电动交通工具,以及军事装备和航空航天等多个领域。随着动力电池应用领域的不断扩大,其市场的需求量也在不断地扩增。
本发明人注意到,电池在使用过程中,多次经历充放电循环,存在副反应,持续产生气体,使电池单体的内部存在一定的气压,随着气压的升高会导致极片之间的气体不能及时排除,从而影响锂离子的嵌入和脱出,进而导致析锂风险。为此,在电池单体的外壳上设置有透气构件,在防爆功能的基础上,实现缓慢渗透排气,从而降低电池单体内部气压,降低析锂风险。
发明人发现,当电池单体内的气压达到预设阈值时,气体会通过透气构件排出电池单体,气体在外排的过程中会作用于透气构件,使得透气构件容易变形,导致透气构件与外壳之间形成有间隙,电池单体内部的电解液容易附着在透气构件上,长期使用将导致透气构件溶胀,加速透气构件的老化,给电池单体带来安全隐患。
为了缓解透气构件在电池单体内部气体的作用下变形的问题,申请人研究发现,可以通过在透气构件背离电极组件的一侧提供支撑,以抵抗气体排出过程中对透气构件的作用力,以减小透气构件的变形,缓解透气构件的老化。
基于以上考虑,为了缓解电池单体在使用过程中透气构件形变老化的问题,发明人经过深入研究,设计了一种电池单体,通过给透气构件提供支撑,以减小透气构件的变形,保证电池单体的安全性能。
本申请实施例公开的电池单体可以但不限用于车辆、船舶或飞行器等用电装置中。可以使用具备本申请公开的电池单体、电池等组成该用电装置的电源系统,这样,有利于缓解透气构件变形,缓解透气构件老化,提升电池性能的稳定性和电池寿命。
