在本申请中,所提及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,本申请中所提及的电池可以包括电池模块或电池包等。
电池单体包括电极组件和电解液,电极组件由正极极片、负极极片和隔离膜组成。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,未涂敷正极活性物质层的正极集流体凸出于已涂覆正极活性物质层的正极集流体,未涂敷正极活性物质层的正极集流体作为正极极耳。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,未涂敷负极活性物质层的负极集流体凸出于已涂覆负极活性物质层的负极集流体,未涂敷负极活性物质层的负极集流体作为负极极耳。负极集流体的材料可以为铜,负极活性物质可以为碳或硅等。为了保证通过大电流而不发生熔断,正极极耳的数量为多个且层叠在一起,负极极耳的数量为多个且层叠在一起。隔离膜的材质可以为PP(polypropylene,聚丙烯)或PE(polyethylene,聚乙烯)等。
电池技术的发展要同时考虑多方面的设计因素,例如,放电容量、充放电倍率、安全性及使用寿命等性能参数,另外,还需要考虑能量密度。
对于电池单体来说,影响能量密度的因素很多,例如,正负极活性物质占比、正负极材料的比容量等。发明人研究发现,电池单体中,沿电极组件的本体指向连接部件的方向,极耳的拐角处不超过连接部件的朝向电极组件的本体的一面,连接部件与电极组件的本体之间的距离较大,正负极活性物质占比较低,浪费电池单体的内部空间,造成内部空间利用率低,使得能量密度较低。
鉴于此,为了解决能量密度较低的问题,发明人经过深入研究,设计了一种电池单体,该电池单体包括电极组件及连接部件。电极组件包括本体和极耳。连接部件包括端子连接部和极耳连接部,端子连接部用于连接电极端子,极耳连接部用于连接极耳,极耳连接部具有朝向本体的第一表面。极耳包括连接于本体的第一段、固定于第一表面的第二段以及连接于第一段和第二段之间的拐角段,沿本体指向连接部件的方向,拐角段超出第一表面。
在这样的电池单体中,沿本体指向连接部件的方向,极耳折弯后形成的拐角段超出第一表面,部分极耳容纳于第一表面远离本体的空间内,从而减小极耳占用的第一表面靠近本体一侧的空间,进而减小本体与连接部件之间的距离,使各部件更加紧凑,增加本体的空间占用,也即,增加正负极活性物质占比,进而提高体积能量密度。
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。
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设备中。可以使用具备本申请公开的电池单体组成该用电设备的电源系统。

车辆1000还可以包括控制器200和马达300,控制器200用来控制电池100为马达300供电,例如,用于车辆1000的启动、导航和行驶时的工作用电需求。
在本申请一些实施例中,电池100不仅可以作为车辆1000的操作电源,还可以作为车辆1000的驱动电源,代替或部分地代替燃油或天然气为车辆1000提供驱动动力。
请参见图2,图2为根据本申请一些实施例提供的电池100的分解结构示意图。电池100包括箱体101和电池单体10,电池单体10容纳于箱体101内。其中,箱体101用于为电池单体10提供容纳空间,箱体101可以采用多种结构。在一些实施例中,箱体101可以包括第一部分1011和第二部分1012,第一部分1011与第二部分1012相互盖合,第一部分1011和第二部分1012共同限定出用于容纳电池单体10的容纳空间。第二部分1012可以为一端开口的空心结构,第一部分1011可以为板状结构,第一部分1011盖合于第二部分1012的开口侧,以使第一部分1011与第二部分1012共同限定出容纳空间;第一部分1011和第二部分1012也可以是均为一侧开口的空心结构,第一部分1011的开口侧盖合于第二部分1012的开口侧。
在电池100中,电池单体10可以是多个,多个电池单体10之间可串联或并联或混联,混联是指多个电池单体10中既有串联又有并联。多个电池单体10之间可直接串联或并联或混联在一起,再将多个电池单体10构成的整体容纳于箱体101内;当然,电池100也可以是多个电池单体10先串联或并联或混联组成电池模块形式,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101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10之间的电连接。
其中,每个电池单体10可以为二次电池或一次电池;还可以是锂硫电池、钠离子电池或镁离子电池,但不局限于此。
请参见图3和图4,图3为根据本申请一些实施例提供的电池单体10的分解结构示意图;图4为根据本申请一些实施例提供的电池单体10的剖视图,图4为阶梯剖视图,其为了体现连接部件14与电极端子15的连接方式,以及连接部件14与极耳 132的连接方式。电池单体10是指组成电池100的最小单元。如图3和图4所示,电池单体10包括端盖11、壳体12、电极组件13、连接部件14及电极端子15。
端盖11是指盖合于壳体12的开口处以将电池单体10的内部环境隔绝于外部环境的部件。不限地,端盖11的形状可以与壳体12的形状相适应以配合壳体12。在一些实施例中,端盖11可以由具有一定硬度和强度的材质(如铝合金)制成,这样,端盖11在受挤压碰撞时就不易发生形变,使电池单体10能够具备更高的结构强度,安全性能也可以有所提高。端盖11上可以设置有用于在电池单体10的内部压力或温度达到阈值时泄放内部压力的泄压机构。端盖11的材质也可以是多种的,比如,铜、铁、铝、不锈钢、铝合金、塑胶等,本申请实施例对此不作特殊限制。在一些实施例中,在端盖11的内侧还可以设置有绝缘件,绝缘件可以用于隔离壳体12内的电连接部件与端盖11,以降低短路的风险。示例性的,绝缘件可以是塑料、橡胶等。
壳体12是用于配合端盖11以形成电池单体10的内部环境的组件,其中,形成的内部环境可以用于容纳电极组件13、电解液以及其他部件。壳体12和端盖11可以独立的部件,可以于壳体12上设置开口,通过在开口处使端盖11盖合开口以形成电池单体10的内部环境。不限地,也可以使端盖11和壳体12一体化,具体地,端盖11和壳体12可以在其他部件入壳前先形成一个共同的连接面,当需要封装壳体12的内部时,再使端盖11盖合壳体12。壳体12的形状可以根据电极组件13的具体形状和尺寸大小来确定。壳体12的材质可以是多种,比如,铜、铁、铝、不锈钢、铝合金、塑胶等,本申请实施例对此不作特殊限制。
电极组件13是电池单体10中发生电化学反应的部件。壳体12内可以包含一个或多个电极组件13。电极组件13主要由正极极片和负极极片卷绕或层叠放置形成,并且通常在正极极片与负极极片之间设有隔离膜。电极组件13的本体131包括正极极片和负极极片具有活性物质的部分以及隔离膜,正极极片和负极极片不具有活性物质的部分各自构成极耳132。正极极耳和负极极耳可以共同位于本体131的一端或是分别位于本体131的两端。在电池100的充放电过程中,正极活性物质和负极活性物质与电解液发生反应,极耳132通过连接部件14连接电极端子15以形成电流回路。
电极端子15设置于端盖11上,电极端子15通过连接部件14与电极组件13电连接,以用于输出或输入电池单体10的电能。
根据本申请的一些实施例,请参见图5和图6,图5为图4的局部视图,图6为图5的C处放大图一。本申请提供了一种电池单体10。如图5和图6所示,电池单体10包括电极组件13及连接部件14。电极组件13包括本体131和极耳132。连接部件14包括端子连接部141和极耳连接部142,端子连接部141用于连接电极端子15,极耳连接部142用于连接极耳132,极耳连接部142具有朝向本体131的第一表面1421。极耳132包括连接于本体131的第一段1321、固定于第一表面1421的第二段1322以及连接于第一段1321和第二段1322之间的拐角段1323,沿本体131指向连接部件14的方向Z,拐角段1323超出第一表面1421。
电池单体10中,连接部件14和本体131在端盖11的厚度方向间隔设置,本体131指向连接部件14的方向为图中的字母Z所指示的方向,Z方向垂直于连接部件 14,也可以为端盖11的厚度方向。
在电池单体10装配过程中,极耳132与极耳连接部142的第一表面1421连接后需要进行折弯,极耳132折弯后的折弯部位形成拐角段1323。在电极组件13放置于壳体12内并将端盖11与壳体12封装后,沿本体131指向连接部件14的方向Z,拐角段1323超出第一表面1421。
连接部件14为用于连接极耳132和电极端子15的导电部件,端子连接部141用于连接电极端子15,极耳连接部142用于连接极耳132,实现极耳132与电极端子15之间的电连接。第一表面1421为连接部件14的朝向本体131的面,也即,连接部件14靠近本体131的面。
根据本申请实施例的电池单体10,沿本体131指向连接部件14的方向Z,拐角段1323超出第一表面1421,部分极耳132容纳于第一表面1421远离本体131的空间内,从而减小极耳132占用的第一表面1421靠近本体131一侧的空间,进而减小本体131与连接部件14之间的距离,使各部件更加紧凑,本体131更靠近连接部件14,增加本体131的空间占用,也即,增加正负极活性物质占比,进而提高体积能量密度,使得电池单体10具有较高的能量密度。
根据本申请的一些实施例,如图6所示,沿本体131指向连接部件14的方向Z,拐角段1323超出极耳连接部142的远离本体131的第二表面1422。
第二表面1422为连接部件14的与第二段1322连接的部分的背离本体131的面。换句话说,第二表面1422与第一表面1421为极耳连接部142在连接部件14的厚度方向的相对的两个面,连接部件14的厚度方向为端盖11的厚度方向。
拐角段1323超出第二表面1422,更多部分的极耳132容纳于第一表面1421远离本体131的空间内,能够使得本体131与连接部件14之间的距离更小,进一步增加本体131的空间占比,也即,增加正负极活性物质占比,提高电池单体10的能量密度。
根据本申请的一些实施例,如图6所示,拐角段1323与第二段1322之间的夹角α为钝角。
如图6所示,图中α所指示的角为拐角段1323与第二段1322之间的夹角,由于拐角段1323超出第一表面1421,拐角段1323朝向第一表面1421的背离主体的一侧延伸,使得拐角段1323与第二段1322之间形成钝角。如果拐角段1323与第二段1322之间的角度α较小,则不利于极耳132折弯,拐角段1323与连接部件14之间具有较大的接触面积,容易造成连接部件14的端部对极耳132的干涉,严重时连接部件14损伤极耳132;如果拐角段1323与第二段1322之间的角度α较大,则拐角段1323占用较大的空间,影响电池单体10内部空间的利用率,影响电池单体10的能量密度。
拐角段1323与第二段1322的设置形式,使得连接部件14与拐角段1323的干涉力度小,可以减少连接部件14对极耳132的损伤,并且便于实现极耳132折弯,合理利用电池单体10的内部空间。
根据本申请的一些实施例,如图4和图6所示,电池单体10还包括壳体12。壳体12具有容纳腔121,至少部分连接部件14和电极组件13容纳于容纳腔121内。连接部件14还具有沿电极组件13的厚度方向X的端面143,拐角段1323位于端面 143和壳体12的内壁之间。
容纳腔121具有开口,以供电极组件13设置于容纳腔121内。电极组件13容纳于容纳腔121内,以便于电极组件13与电解液发生反应。
至少部分连接部件14容纳于容纳腔121内,例如,部分连接部件14容纳于容纳腔121内,另一部分连接部件14容纳于壳体12的通孔内,以便于与电极端子15连接;或者,全部连接部件14容纳于容纳腔121内,电极端子15伸入容纳腔121与连接部件14连接。
电极组件13呈扁平体,电极组件13具有厚度方向,图中,字母X所指示的方向为电极组件13的厚度方向。
连接部件14具有朝向本体131的第一表面1421和背离本体131的第二表面1422,端面143连接第一表面1421和第二表面1422。
拐角段1323位于连接部件14的沿电极组件13的厚度方向X的端面143和壳体12的内壁之间,换句话说,在垂直于电极组件13的厚度方向X的平面内,拐角段1323的投影与端面143的投影重叠,例如,拐角段1323的投影位于端面143的投影内,或者,部分拐角段1323的投影与端面143的投影重叠。连接部件14的朝向本体131的第一表面1421和连接部件14的背离本体131的第二表面1422为上述端面143的投影的两个分界面,当拐角段1323超出连接部件14的朝向本体131的第一表面1421、未超出连接部件14的背离本体131的第二表面1422时,拐角段1323的投影位于端面143的投影内;当拐角段1323超出连接部件14的背离本体131的第二表面1422时,部分拐角段1323的投影与端面143的投影重叠。
拐角段1323设置于端面143和壳体12的内壁之间,合理利用容纳腔121的内部空间,减少空间占用,保证电池单体10具有较高的能量密度。
请参见图7,图7为图5的C处放大图二。根据本申请的一些实施例,如图4和图7所示,电池单体10还包括端盖11及绝缘件16。端盖11密封壳体12。至少部分绝缘件16设置于端盖11和连接部件14之间,用于隔离端盖11和连接部件14。
端盖11用于盖设于壳体12的开口处,以与壳体12连接密封容纳腔121。
绝缘件16为绝缘部件,用于实现端盖11与连接部件14之间的绝缘。至少部分绝缘件16设置于端盖11和连接部件14之间,例如,部分绝缘件16设置于端盖11和连接部件14之间,另一部分绝缘件16朝方向Z的反方向延伸抵接到本体131上;或者,绝缘件16整体位于端盖11和连接部件14之间。
通过绝缘件16实现端盖11与连接部件14的隔离,避免内部短路,保证电池单体10的安全性。
根据本申请的一些实施例,如图7所示,绝缘件16的沿电极组件13的厚度方向X的边缘形成有朝向本体131凸出的凸缘161,凸缘161位于拐角段1323和壳体12之间。
凸缘161位于绝缘件16的沿电极组件13的厚度方向X的边缘,并且朝向本体131凸出,换句话说,在电极组件13的厚度方向X上,凸缘161位于端面143和壳体12的内壁之间。
凸缘161位于拐角段1323和壳体12之间,也即,拐角段1323位于端面143和凸缘161之间。
凸缘161位于拐角段1323与壳体12之间,能够起到隔离拐角段1323和壳体12的作用,避免内部短路,保证电池单体10的安全性。
根据本申请的一些实施例,如图7所示,极耳132的厚度为A,端面143与凸缘161之间的距离为B,满足1%≤A/B≤20%。
极耳132由多层极耳132构成,极耳132的厚度A为极耳132的层数乘以每层极耳132的厚度。端面143与凸缘161平行设置,端面143与凸缘161之间的距离B可以为,在垂直于端面143的方向上,端面143上的一点到凸缘161的距离。
极耳132的厚度A越厚,端面143与凸缘161之间的距离B越大,以便于容纳拐角段1323。极耳132的厚度A较小时,极耳132易于折弯,对应的,端面143与凸缘161之间的距离B可以较小。极耳132的厚度A和端面143与凸缘161之间的距离B的比值关系,满足1%≤A/B≤20%,既能够便于降低极耳132折弯难度,还能够便于容纳拐角段1323,避免拐角段1323与其他部件干涉。
在一些实施例中,极耳132的厚度A和端面143与凸缘161之间的距离B的比值关系,满足2%≤A/B≤8%,保证极耳132易于折弯,并且便于拐角段1323容纳于端面143与凸缘161之间。
根据本申请的一些实施例,如图7所示,拐角段1323与绝缘件16的背离端盖11的一侧抵接。
由于绝缘件16用于隔离连接部件14和端盖11,绝缘件16的背离端盖11的一侧为绝缘件16的朝向本体131的一侧,拐角段1323与绝缘件16的背离端盖11的一侧抵接,也即,拐角段1323与绝缘件16的朝向本体131的一侧抵接。
当拐角段1323与绝缘件16抵接时,可以进一步减小本体131与连接部件14之间的间距,本体131在电池单体10的内部空间内占用较高的比例,也即,正负极活性物质占比较高,使得电池单体10具有较高的能量密度。
根据本申请的一些实施例,如图7所示,为了避免内部短路,在极耳132与连接部件14连接之后,极耳132的厚度方向的两面均粘接有胶带17,也即,在极耳132与连接部件14的连接位置处的两侧均粘接有胶带17,例如,位于极耳132一侧的胶带17粘接于连接部件14的第二表面1422,拐角段1323通过胶带17抵接于绝缘件16朝向本体131的一侧。
请参见图8,图8为根据本申请一些实施例提供的连接部件14的结构示意图。根据本申请的一些实施例,如图3和图4所示,电池单体10包括两个电极组件13,两个电极组件13的正极极耳连接于一个连接部件14,两个电极组件13的负极极耳连接于另一个连接部件14。如图5和图8所示,连接部件14包括两个极耳连接部142,两个极耳连接部142沿电极组件13的厚度方向X间隔设置,两个极耳连接部142分别连接两个电极组件13的极耳132。
请参见图9-图11,图9为图8的D-D方向的剖视图,图10为图9的E处放大图一,示出了连接部件14上的圆角144;图11为图9的E处放大图二,示出了连 接部件14上的弹性件145。根据本申请的一些实施例,如图9-图11所示,第一表面1421与端面143的交汇处设置有圆角144或弹性件145。
第一表面1421与端面143的交汇处为极耳132折弯后极耳132与连接部件14抵接的部位,也即,第二段1322与拐角段1323的交汇处对应的连接部件14的位置。
由于拐角段1323位于端面143和壳体12的内壁之间,并且极耳132和第一表面1421与端面143的交汇处抵接,在极耳132折弯过程中,该交汇处容易割伤极耳132,影响极耳132的过流能力,影响电池单体10的使用寿命。
如图10所示,第一表面1421与端面143的交汇处可以设置有圆角144,能够实现第一表面1421与端面143的圆滑过渡,减小该交汇处对极耳132的损伤。
如图11所示,第一表面1421与端面143的交汇处也可以设置有弹性件145,弹性件145可以为硅胶、泡棉、丁晴橡胶、氯丁橡胶、丁基橡胶、乙丙橡胶、合成树脂,合成橡胶等,起到缓冲的作用,在受力后能够变形,以避免第一表面1421与端面143的交汇处割伤极耳132。弹性件145与连接部件14的连接方式为多种,可以为胶粘,可以为喷胶凝固成型。在一些实施例中,在第一表面1421与端面143的交汇处做喷胶处理,胶液凝固成型弹性件145。
第一表面1421与端面143的交汇处设置的圆角144或弹性件145,能够缓冲极耳132与连接部件14之间的摩擦,避免割伤极耳132,保证电池单体10的使用寿命。
