除非另有定义,本申请所使用的所有的技术和科学术语与属于本申请的技术领域的技术人员通常理解的含义相同;本申请中在申请的说明书中所使用的术语只是为了描述具体的实施例的目的,不是旨在于限制本申请;本申请的说明书和权利要求书及上述附图说明中的术语“包括”和“具有”以及它们的任何变形,意图在于覆盖不排他的包含。本申请的说明书和权利要求书或上述附图中的术语“第一”、“第二”等是用于区别不同对象,而不是用于描述特定顺序或主次关系。
在本申请中提及“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,本申请所描述的实施例可以与其它实施例相结合。
在本申请的描述中,需要说明的是,除非另有明确的规定和限定,术语“安装”、“相连”、“连接”、“附接”应做广义理解,例如,可以是固定连接,也可以是可拆卸连接,或一体地连接;可以是直接相连,也可以通过中间媒介间接相连,可以是两个元件内部的连通。对于本领域的普通技术人员而言,可以根据具体情况理解上述术语在本申请中的具体含义。

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。
目前,随着技术的发展,动力电池的应用越来越广泛。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。
本申请发明人注意到,电池在充电和放电的过程中,会出现电流过大的情况,如果电池电流过大会导致电池内部短路或者温度过高,进而会引发自燃或者爆炸等情况发生。当电池内部电流过大时,大电流也会经过与电池单体电连接的电池采样电路。现有的电池采样信号一般经过柔性扁平电缆(FFC) 传输至电池管理系统,而现有的柔性扁平电缆一般都包括绝缘体以及若干平行设置于该绝缘体中的导电体,导电体呈等宽的长条形,其每个位置的纵截面的面积均相等,因此,整个导电体每个位置的电阻值是相等的。在大电流经过时,这种柔性扁平电缆不具备熔断保护的功能,会直接对电池管理系统造成损伤。
如图1所示为本申请发明人发现的常用的对电池内部进行监测的采样电路结构图,所述采样电路设置在电池内部,在各个采样点,通过采用将柔性扁平线路切割后,进行弯折处理后与电池单体直接连接,从而实现对电池单体的输入或者输出信号进行采样。本申请人发现采用弯折线路的方式将采样电路与电池单体连接,工艺比较复杂,特别是在弯折时,很难保证弯折定位的精度,也存在弯折的角度无法保持等问题。
本申请发明人还发现,为了实现对电池管理系统的控制设备的保护,一般都直接在柔性扁平线缆上设置熔断电路,当所述电池单体输入或者输出的电流值大于某个门限时,所述熔断电路自动进行熔断保护。目前的熔断保护方式,当熔断保护电路进行熔断保护后,整个柔性扁平线缆就需要报废,需要替换所有柔性扁平电路,导致电池维护操作复杂、维护成本很大。
基于上述考虑,本申请实施例提出了一种采样部件、采样方法、采样部件制造方法以及相应的采用该采样部件的电池和用电装置,旨在解决现有技术中存在的上述问题。本申请实施例一方面将采样电路和熔断保护电路进行集成,使所述采样部件同时具有信号采样和熔断保护的功能。同时,通过采用两个部分搭接的方式将采样电路与电池单体连接起来,取消了需要对柔性电路进行折弯才能实现电池单体的连接的方式,简化了电路采样的工艺,降低了维护电池的复杂度,提高了电池的安全性。
本申请实施例公开的采样部件、采样方法、采样部件制造方法以及相应的采用该采样部件的电池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采样部件、电池等组成该用电装置的电源系统,这样,有利于提高电池的安全性。

本申请实施例所提到的电池100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100可以包括电池模块或电池包等。电池单体20可以是多个,多个电池单体20之间可串联或并联或混联,混联是指多个电池单体20中既有串联又有并联。多个电池单体20之间可直接串联或并联或混联在一起,再将多个电池单体20构成的整体容纳于箱体10内;当然,也可以是多个电池单体20先串联或并 联或混联组成电池模块形式的电池100,多个电池模块再串联或并联或混联形成一个整体,并容纳于箱体10内。电池100还可以包括其他结构,例如,该电池100还可以包括汇流部件,用于实现多个电池单体20之间的电连接。
每个电池单体20可以为锂离子二次电池、锂离子一次电池、锂硫电池、钠锂离子电池或镁离子电池,但不局限于此。电池单体20可呈圆柱体、扁平体、长方体或其它形状等。
如图4所示,在电池100内部,每个电池单体20具有正极端子和负极端子,用于向外输出电源。多个电池单体20的正极端子通过连接件210连接起来,多个电池单体20的负极端子也通过连接件210连接起来,组成不同的电池组,实现不同电池单体的串联或者并联。在对电池单体进行采样时,可以对每一个电池单体进行采样,也可以以电池组为单位进行采样。以电池组为单位进行采样时,只需要通过采样部件与每个电池组进行连接采样即可。
如图4和图5所示,为本申请实施例提出的一种采样部件40的应用示意图,采样部件40包括:主体部410和搭接部420;主体部410用于传输采样信号;搭接部420的一端与主体部410搭接,搭接部420的另一端与待采样点搭接,用于采集采样信号;并且,搭接部设置有熔断结构422,用于对主体部410进行熔断保护。

采样部件40包括主体部410和多个搭接部420。主体部410设置在各电池单体20的一端表面,通常设置于电池单体高度方向上的电极端子的一端,贯穿多个电池单体20的表面,以便于主体部410与待采样的各电池组进行连接。主体部410可以采用柔性扁平电缆,便于在电池内部进行布线。主体部410用于传输采样信号,包括多条电缆线路,这样可以连接多个搭接部420,对多个待采样点的采样信号同时进行传输。
各搭接部420一端与主体部410电连接,另一端与待采样点电连接,用于采集采样信号。搭接部420的数量与待采样点的数量一致,即与待采样的电池组的数量一致。通过将搭接部420和主体部410分开设置,可以方便的 将待采样点和采样部件40的主体部410相连接,不需要将主体部进行分割后,再进行弯折处理,连接非常方便,工艺简单。
同时,搭接部420设置有熔断结构422,熔断结构422用于对主体部410进行熔断保护。熔断结构422直接和搭接部420设置在一起,在通过搭接部420将待采样点和主体部410进行连接的同时,又能起到熔断保护的作用,不需要设置额外的熔断保护电路,结构简单,大大节省了电池内部的空间。并且,当有单个熔断结构422进行熔断保护后,可以仅更换熔断的搭接部420,而不必对整个柔性扁平线路进行更换,维护方便快捷、成本低。
如图5所示,为本申请实施例提出的采样部件40的结构图,主体部410为长条形的柔性扁平电路,设置有与采样控制电路连接的接口;同时,在主体部410上与待采样点对应的位置,搭接有搭接部420,搭接部420可以通过焊接等方式与主体部410进行电连接。搭接部420可以根据待测电池组的位置选择与主体部410进行搭接的位置。在实际使用过程中,搭接部420可以根据电池的待采样点的位置预先设置在主体部410的相应位置,与主体部410成为一体;搭接部420也可以在将主体部410设置在电池表面进行采样时,根据实际采样点的情况,再设置搭接部。
本申请实施例通过改变采样部件的结构,将采样部件分为主体部和搭接部,搭接部可以根据采样点的位置自由进行搭接,简化了采样电路与待采样点的连接工艺,结构简单;同时,通过在搭接部上设置熔断部,实现了对主体部的熔断保护,在通过搭接部将待采样点和主体部进行连接的同时,又能起到熔断保护的作用,不需要设置额外的熔断保护电路,结构简单,大大节省了电池内部的空间。
一些实施例中,如图5和图6所示,主体部410包括导线4111和绝缘层4112,绝缘层4112包覆在导线4111表面,用于将导线隔离;导线4111在绝缘层4112上与待采样点对应的位置裸露,搭接部的一端搭接在导线的裸露处411。
采样部件40的主体部410为柔性扁平电路,主体部410包含有多路导线4111,导线4111表面包覆有绝缘层4112,将各路导线进行隔离,避免导线之间短路,通过设置多路导线4111可以对多个采样点同时进行采样,在图5中,可以看到有多个搭接部420与主体部410相搭接,分别搭接在主体 部410的不同位置。为了实现搭接部420与主体部410的搭接,主体部410上在与各待采样点对应的位置上,在绝缘层4112上设置开口,形成裸露处411,搭接部420在该裸露处411与主体部410的导线连接,通过焊接或者其他方式将主体部410的导线与搭接部420电连接。
通过在主体部410的绝缘层4112上与各待采样点对应的位置设置开口形成裸露处411,可以方便的将搭接部420与主体部410进行电连接,结构简单。
一些实施例中,主体部410包括多根导线4111和多个搭接部420,各导线4111分别在绝缘层4112上与各待采样点对应的位置裸露,各搭接部420的一端分别搭接在各导线的裸露处411,比如在图5和图6中,搭接部420搭接在裸露处411,搭接部430搭接在裸露处412。
如图4和图5所示,主体部410包括多路导线4111,可以同时对多个待采样点进行采样,分别在绝缘层4112上与各待采样点对应的位置设置裸露处。需要注意的是,针对各个待采样点进行采样的电路都为单独的电路,因此,各搭接部420对多个待采样点进行采样时,需要分别连接不同的导线,因此,各裸露处411的设置位置需要相互错开,不能产生短路情况。通过一个主体部410连接多个搭接部420实现了对多个待采样点的同时采样,提高了采样效率。
一些实施例中,搭接部420与主体部410垂直搭接。如图5所示,各搭接部420与主体部410相搭接,其搭接的方式可以根据待采样点的位置和主体部410上各裸露处411的位置进行确定,优选的,搭接部420与主体部410垂直搭接,即搭接部420与主体部410成90度,以垂直的角度进行搭接,有利于保证搭接部420与主体部410的连接强度,也有利于采样部件40的流水化生产加工。
一些实施例中,搭接部420包括连接部421和熔断部422,连接部421包括第一连接部4211和第二连接部4212,第一连接部4211和第二连接部4212分别位于熔断部422的两端,用于将熔断部422分别与主体部410和待采样点连接。
如图7和图8所示,第一连接部4211和第二连接部4212分别位于熔断部422的两端,连接部和熔断部可以通过焊接、压接、铆接或者粘接等多种 方式的一种或者任意组合形成一个一体结构。第一连接部4211和第二连接部4212可以采用相同的材料制成,也可以采用不同的材料制成,通常连接部可以采用柔性电路,也可以采用铜箔或者铝箔等导电材料制成。当第一连接部4211和第二连接部4212采用不同材料制成时,第一连接部4211用于连接待采样点,由于待采样点通常为电池单体或者连接电池单体的连接件,因此,为了保证第一连接部4211与电池单体的连接强度,可以将第一连接部4211设置成具有一定强度的电路结构,比如镍片、铜片、铝片或其他复合材质等;第二连接部4212与主体部410连接,主体部410一般采用柔性电路,则第二连接部4212也可以采用与主体部410相同的柔性电路,从而能够更好的与主体部410相搭接。因此,连接部421可以根据实际电路情况进行自由选择。
通过在熔断部422两端分别设置连接部,能够方便实现待采样点和主体部的连接,连接方式灵活多变。
一些实施例中,熔断部422包括贴片电阻或电阻丝。如图7和图8所示,为了适应不同的采样电路需求,熔断部422可以采用多种形式,如图7所示为电阻丝,如图8所示为贴片电阻。采用贴片电阻或者电阻丝的方式,结构简单,容易制造,而且,生产成本比较低。
一些实施例中,熔断部422包括刻蚀线。由于电池在使用过程中经常发生晃动,为了增加搭接部420的强度,可以通过在PCB电路板或者FPC柔性板上设置刻蚀线的方式,进行熔断保护。通过这种方式可以减少熔断部在电池使用过程中发生意外断裂。
一些实施例中,如图9所示,搭接部420为柔性扁平导线,熔断部420的导线截面积小于连接部421的导线截面积。本申请实施例所示的搭接部420也可以采用柔性扁平导线,将连接部421和熔断部422融为一体,结构更加紧凑。为了实现熔断保护,本申请实施例可以将柔性扁平导线的某个位置变窄,减小该部分的导线的宽度,形成熔断部422。由于熔断部相对于其他部位而言,就有更小的宽度,因此,当电流达到一定的强度时,变窄部分会首先被熔断,起到了熔断保护的效果。通过将柔性扁平导线变窄的方式设置熔断部可以使搭接部形成一个整体,结构更加简单。
一些实施例中,连接部421和熔断部422表面设置有覆膜。由于电池在 使用过程中经常会发生晃动,因此,搭接部420的强度就变得非常重要,如果搭接部420强度不够,在晃动过程中发生断裂,则会造成电池单体无法提供电源。本申请实施例通过在连接421和熔断部422的表面涂覆有覆膜,可以增加搭接部420的强度,对其起到更好的保护作用。
一些实施例中,连接部421通过焊接、压接、铆接或粘接方式设置在导线的裸露处。连接部可以采用镍片、铜片、铝片或其他复合材质等材料制成,为了实现搭接部420与主体部410的连接,可以通过焊接、压接、铆接或者粘接等方式将连接部与主体部410的导线连接起来,实现了连接方式的多样化。
根据本申请提出的一些实施例,还提出了一种电池,电池包括电池单体20和上述实施例中提到的任意一种采样部件40,如图4所示,多个电池单体20通过连接件210串联或者并联在一起,采样部件40设置在电池单体20的一侧,采样部件40包括主体部410和搭接部420,搭接部420将各待采样点与主体部410连接起来,简化了连接工艺,同时,搭接部420还具有熔断部,当流经电池单体的电流过大时,则自动进行熔断保护。通过采用本申请实施例提出的采样部件,本申请实施例提出的电池结构更加紧凑,采样效果更好。
根据本申请提出的一些实施例,还提供一种用电装置,用电装置包括上述实施例中提出的电池,电池用于为用电装置提供电能。用电装置可以为但不限于手机、平板、笔记本电脑、电动玩具、电动工具、电瓶车、电动汽车、轮船、航天器等等。其中,电动玩具可以包括固定式或移动式的电动玩具,例如,游戏机、电动汽车玩具、电动轮船玩具和电动飞机玩具等等,航天器可以包括飞机、火箭、航天飞机和宇宙飞船等等。
一些实施例中,本申请实施例还提出一种采样部件的制造方法,方法用于生产和制造上述实施例中提出的采样部件,制造方法通常在采样部件的生产设备上运行,生产设备包括一个或多个部件用于执行制造方法,具体的,采样部件制造方法如图10所示,包括:
步骤501:提供主体部和搭接部,主体部用于传输采样信号。
步骤502:将搭接部的一端与主体部搭接,将搭接部的另一端与待采样点搭接,用于采集采样信号。
步骤503:将搭接部设置有熔断结构,用于对主体部进行熔断保护。
通过上述采样部件制造方法生产出来的采样部件简化了采样点路与采样点的连接工艺,结构简单;同时,通过在搭接部上设置熔断部,实现了对主体部的熔断保护,在通过搭接部将待采样点和主体部进行连接的同时,又能起到熔断保护的作用,不需要设置额外的熔断保护电路,结构简单,大大节省了电池内部的空间。
一些实施例中,制造方法进一步包括将主体部与待采样点对应的位置裸露,搭接部的一端搭接在导线的裸露处。通过在主体部上与各待采样点对应的位置设置开口形成裸露处,可以方便的搭接部与主体部进行电连接,结构简单。
一些实施例中,本申请还提出一种电池采样方法,通过该方法可以方便的对电池进行采样,并且不会增加电池的结构复杂度,具体的,如图11所示,方法包括:
步骤601:设置搭接部,将搭接部的一端与电池待采样点搭接,用于采集采样信号。
步骤602:设置主体部,将搭接部的另一端与主体部搭接,将采样信号通过主体部传输至控制系统。
步骤603:在搭接部上设置熔断结构,当主体部发生短路时,对主体部进行熔断保护。
通过本申请实施例提出的电池采样方法,可以方便的对电池进行采样,实施方法简单有效,并且不会增加电池的结构复杂度。
