在一些实施例中,所述支架上设置有第一开口,所述第一开口与所述第二腔体连通,所述第一开口用于向所述第二腔体中注入所述粘接剂。
在安装该电池时,可以先将多个电池单体与支架固定安装之后,装入箱体的下箱体中,最后通过该第一开口直接注入粘结剂,不影响其他部件的安装和设置,能够提高安装效率。

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聚丙烯(polypropylene,PP)或聚乙烯(polyethylene,PE)等。此外,电极组件可以是卷绕式结构,也可 以是叠片式结构,本申请实施例并不限于此。
电池技术的发展要同时考虑多方面的设计因素,例如,能量密度、循环寿命、放电容量、充放电倍率等性能参数,另外,还需要考虑电池的安全性。
对于电池来说,主要的安全危险来自于充电和放电过程,为了提高电池的安全性能,对电池单体一般会设置泄压机构。泄压机构是指电池单体的内部压力或温度达到预定阈值时致动以泄放内部压力或温度的元件或部件。该预定阈值可以根据设计需求不同而进行调整。所述预定阈值可取决于电池单体中的正极极片、负极极片、电解液和隔离膜中一种或几种的材料。泄压机构可以采用诸如对压力敏感或温度敏感的元件或部件,即,当电池单体的内部压力或温度达到预定阈值时,泄压机构致动,从而形成可供内部压力或温度泄放的通道。
本申请中所提到的“致动”是指泄压机构产生动作,从而使得电池单体的内部压力及温度得以被泄放。泄压机构产生的动作可以包括但不限于:泄压机构中的至少一部分破裂、被撕裂或者熔化,等等。泄压机构在致动后,电池单体内部的高温高压物质作为排放物会从泄压机构向外排出。以此方式能够在可控压力或温度的情况下使电池单体发生泄压,从而避免潜在的更严重的事故发生。
本申请中所提到的来自电池单体的排放物包括但不限于:电解液、被溶解或分裂的正负极极片、隔离膜的碎片、反应产生的高温高压气体、火焰,等等。
电池单体上的泄压机构对电池的安全性有着重要影响。例如,当电池单体发生短路、过充等现象时,可能会导致电池单体内部发生热失控从而压力或温度骤升。这种情况下通过泄压机构致动可以将内部压力及温度向外释放,以防止电池单体爆炸、起火。
因此,在电池装配过程中,应合理设置每个电池单体的位置,以使得每个电池单体的泄压机构不受影响,保证电池的安全性能。尤其是对于非长方体形状的电池单体而言,例如圆柱形电池单体,由于电池单体本身形状的限制,在将多个电池单体进行组装时,应充分考虑如何提高空间利 用率,还要保证电池的稳定性以及安全性。
因此,本申请实施例提供了一种电池,该电池包括多个电池单体、支架和箱体,其中,支架用于支撑电池单体,箱体用于容纳支架和电池单体。具体地,支架将箱体内的空间分隔为第一腔体和第二腔体,第一腔体用于容纳电池单体的第一部分,该第一部分包括泄压机构;第二腔体用于容纳电池单体的第二部分和粘结剂。在第二腔体中,电池单体的第二部分、支架以及箱体可以通过粘结剂固定连接,以保证该电池单体和支架能够固定安装于箱体内,保证该电池的稳定性,同时,在支架的作用下,电池单体固定后,泄压机构所在区域不受粘结剂的影响,保证泄压机构可以正常使用,也就保证了电池的安全性能。
本申请实施例描述的技术方案均适用于各种使用电池的用电设备。
用电设备可以是车辆、手机、便携式设备、笔记本电脑、轮船、航天器、电动玩具和电动工具等等。车辆可以是燃油汽车、燃气汽车或新能源汽车,新能源汽车可以是纯电动汽车、混合动力汽车或增程式汽车等;航天器包括飞机、火箭、航天飞机和宇宙飞船等等;电动玩具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;电动工具包括金属切削电动工具、研磨电动工具、装配电动工具和铁道用电动工具,例如,电钻、电动砂轮机、电动扳手、电动螺丝刀、电锤、冲击电钻、混凝土振动器和电刨等等。本申请实施例对上述用电设备不做特殊限制。
以下实施例为了方便说明,以用电设备为车辆为例进行说明。
例如,如图1所示,为本申请一个实施例的一种车辆100的结构示意图,车辆100可以为燃油汽车、燃气汽车或新能源汽车,新能源汽车可以是纯电动汽车、混合动力汽车或增程式汽车等。车辆100的内部可以设置马达103,控制器102以及电池101,控制器102用来控制电池101为马达103的供电。例如,在车辆100的底部或车头或车尾可以设置电池101。电池101可以用于车辆100的供电,例如,电池101可以作为车辆100的操作电源,用于车辆100的电路系统,例如,用于车辆100的启动、导航和运行时的工作用电需求。在本申请的另一实施例中,电池101 不仅仅可以作为车辆100的操作电源,还可以作为车辆100的驱动电源,替代或部分地替代燃油或天然气为车辆100提供驱动动力。
为了满足不同的使用电力需求,电池可以包括多个电池单体,其中,多个电池单体之间可以串联或并联或混联,混联是指串联和并联的混合。电池也可以称为电池包。可选地,多个电池单体可以先串联或并联或混联组成电池模块,多个电池模块再串联或并联或混联组成电池。也就是说,多个电池单体可以直接组成电池,也可以先组成电池模块,电池模块再组成电池,本申请实施例并不限于此。
图2示出了本申请实施例的电池101的分解结构示意图。如图2所示,该电池101包括:电池单体10;支架20,该支架20用于支撑该电池单体10;以及,箱体30,该箱体30用于容纳该支架20和该电池单体10;其中,该支架20将该箱体30分隔为第一腔体31和第二腔体32,该第一腔体31用于容纳该电池单体10的第一部分11,该第一部分11设置有泄压机构13,该第二腔体32用于容纳该电池单体10的第二部分12和粘接剂,在该第二腔体32内,该第二部分12、该支架20和该箱体30通过该粘接剂固定连接,其中,该泄压机构13用于在该电池单体10的内部压力达到阈值时致动以泄放该内部压力。
因此,本申请实施例的电池101,通过支架20在箱体30的内部分割出第一腔体31和第二腔体32,其中,第一腔体31容纳该电池单体10的第一部分11,该第一部分11设置有泄压机构13,该第二腔体32容纳该电池单体10的第二部分12和粘接剂。在第二腔体32中,电池单体10的第二部分12、支架20以及箱体30可以通过粘结剂固定连接,以保证该电池单体10和支架20能够固定安装于箱体30内,保证该电池101的稳定性,同时,在支架20的作用下,电池单体10固定后,泄压机构13所在区域不受粘结剂的影响,保证泄压机构13可以正常使用,也就保证了电池101的安全性能。
下面将结合附图对本申请实施例的电池101进行详细描述。
应理解,本申请实施例的电池101可以包括箱体30,箱体30内部为中空结构,以用于容纳多个电池单体10以及支架20。可选地,图2仅 示出了本申请实施例的箱体30的一种可能的实现方式,如图2所示,箱体30可以包括两部分,为了便于区分,按照如图2所示的方向,这里分别称为上箱体33和下箱体34,上箱体33和下箱体34扣合在一起,以形成箱体30的中空结构。
在本申请实施例中,箱体30的形状或者说上箱体33和下箱体34的形状可以根据实际应用进行设置。例如,本申请以箱体30为长方体为例进行说明,即上箱体33与下箱体34扣合形成长方体结构。
本申请实施例中的上箱体33和下箱体34中至少一个具有一个开口。例如,如图2所示,该上箱体33和下箱体34均可以为中空长方体且各自只有一个面为开口面,上箱体33的开口和下箱体34的开口相对设置,并且上箱体33和下箱体34相互扣合形成具有封闭腔室的箱体30。
再例如,不同于图2所示,上箱体33和下箱体34中可以仅有一个为具有开口的中空长方体,而另一个为板状,以盖合开口。例如,这里以下箱体34为中空长方体且只有一个面为开口面,上箱体33为板状为例,那么上箱体33盖合在下箱体34的开口处以形成具有封闭腔室的箱体30,该腔室可以用于容纳多个电池单体10。多个电池单体10相互并联或串联或混联组合后置于上箱体33和下箱体34扣合后形成的箱体30内。
可选地,对于长方体的箱体30,容纳于其内部的电池单体10和支架20的形状可以根据实际应用进行设置。为了便于说明,下文中主要以近似为长方体的支架20以及圆柱形电池单体10为例进行描述。具体地,如图2所示,该圆柱形电池单体10具有两个圆形端面,该两个圆形端面之间为柱体。其中,该柱体部分可以包括电极组件,该电极组件可以由正极极片上涂覆有正极活性物质层的部分和负极极片上涂覆有负极活性物质层的部分层叠形成或者卷绕形成。该圆形端面可以设置有泄压机构13,还可以设置有电极端子14,通过该电极端子14输出该电池单体10的电能。电池单体10可以具有两个电极端子14,该两个电极端子14分别为正电极端子和负电极端子,例如,如图2所示,每个电极端子14可以分别设置于一个圆形端面上,即该圆柱形电池单体10的一个端面设置有正电极端子,另一个端面设置有负电极端子,而该两个端面中的至少一个端面上设 置有泄压机构13。
如图2所示,该电池101还可以包括电路板组件40,该电路板组件40可以包括汇流部件41,该汇流部件41用于实现多个电池单体10之间的电连接,例如并联或串联或混联。具体地,汇流部件41可通过连接电池单体10的电极端子14实现电池单体10之间的电连接。进一步地,汇流部件41可通过焊接固定于电池单体10的电极端子14。
可选地,该电路板组件40还可以包括其他部件,例如,还可以包括用于检测电池单体10的温度或者电压等使用状态的电路,但本申请实施例并不限于此。
本申请实施例的电池101中可以包括多个电路板组件40,例如,如图2所示,可以包括两个电路板组件40,该两个电路板组件40分别可以位于电池单体10的两个端面。
下面将结合附图详细描述本申请实施例的支架20。图3示出了本申请实施例的支架20的结构示意图,图4示出了本申请实施例的容纳有支架20的下箱体34的结构示意图。如图2至图4所示,该支架20上设置有第一开口21,该第一开口21与该第二腔体32连通,该第一开口21用于向该第二腔体32中注入该粘接剂,以使得该粘结剂可以将电池单体10的第二部分12、支架20以及箱体30粘结固定,保证该电池的稳定性。可选地,该第一开口21可以位于该支架20的顶壁上,该支架20的顶壁平行于下箱体34的底壁,且位于下箱体34的开口处,这样,在安装该电池101时,将多个电池单体10与支架20固定安装之后,装入箱体30的下箱体34中,最后通过该顶壁上的第一开口21直接注入粘结剂,不影响其他部件的安装和设置,能够提高安装效率。
应理解,本申请实施例的该支架20置于箱体30内,可以将该箱体30的内部空间分割出第一腔体31和第二腔体32,例如,该支架20可以包括第一壁23,由该第一壁23将箱体30分割为第一腔体31和第二腔体32,该第一壁23垂直于下箱体34的底壁,且平行于该下箱体34的一个侧壁。
在本申请实施例中,该第一壁23上设置有第二开口24,该电池单 体10穿过该第二开口24,以使得该电池单体10的第一部分11和该第二部分12分别位于该第二开口24的两侧,且第一部分11位于第一腔体31,第二部分位于第二腔体32。例如,如图2至图4所示,以该电池101包括四个电池单体10为例,则第一壁23上设置有四个第二开口24,以用于固定该四个电池单体10。
在本申请实施例中,对于用于支撑圆柱形电池单体10的支架20,为了保持结构的稳定,可以将该支架20设置为轴对称结构。具体地,如图2至图4所示,该支架20还可以包括与该第一壁23相对的第二壁,该第二壁与第一壁23平行,这样,该箱体30内被该第一壁23和第二壁分为两个第一腔体31以及位于两个第一腔体31之间的第二腔体32,并且第一腔体31和第二腔体32之间相互独立。另外,与第一壁23对应的,该第二壁上设置有第三开口,每个电池单体10穿过该第二开口24和与之相对的第三开口,这样,每个电池单体10可以包括两个第一部分以及位于两个第一部分之间的第二部分,该第二部分12位于该该第二开口24和该第三开口之间,两个该第一部分11分别位于该第二部分12的两侧。
因此,在安装电池单体10时,只需要将每个电池单体10设置于对应的第二开口24和第三开口中,即可完成电池单体10的定位,安装过程简洁快速。并且,电池单体10的两个端面均位于第一腔体31内,那么端面上设置的泄压机构13以及电路板组件40也位于第一腔体31内,这样,在向第二腔体32内注入粘结剂时,该粘结剂不会对第一腔体31内部的泄压机构13以及电路板组件40造成影响,保证该电池101的安全性。
可选地,该第二开口24和/或该第三开口处设置有围护结构25,该围护结构25垂直于该第一壁23或第二壁且向该支架20的外部延伸,该围护结构25用于支撑该电池单体10。例如,如图2至图4所示,每个第二开口24和每个第三开口均可以设置有维护结构25,该维护结构25与电池单体10的形状一致,为空心圆柱,以使得每个电池单体10可以置于维护结构25内。一方面该维护结构25可以用于支撑电池单体10,保证电池单体10的稳定性,另一方面,由于维护结构25贴合电池单体10的外表面,在向第二腔体32内部注胶时,多余的粘结剂就不会从第二开口24或 者第三开口处流出至第一腔体31内,也就不会影响位于第一腔体31内的泄压机构13,保证泄压机构13正常使用,也不会影响位于第一腔体31内的电极端子13和电路板组件40,保证该电池101的正常安装和使用。为了避免粘结剂通过维护结构25溢出,该维护结构25与电池单体10的表面的间隙通常设置为0至0.6mm。
在本申请实施例中,将电池101包括的多个电池单体10安装于支架20的第二开口24和第三开口中之后,再将电路板组件40固定于电池单体10的端面外侧。具体地,该支架20上可以设置有限位柱26,对应的,该电路板组件40上设置有通孔42,该限位柱26与该通孔42相互配合,以对该电路板组件40进行限位。如图2至图4所示,该支架20的第一壁23上可以设置有凸出于该第一壁23的表面的至少一个限位柱26,例如,可以设置两个限位柱26,对应的,电路板组件40上设置有通孔42,例如,可以设置与限位柱26数量相同的通孔42,通孔42穿过该限位柱26至少一部分,以保证该电路板组件26不会在平行于第一壁23的平面上发生平移。
可选地,该限位柱26的远离该支架20的端部还可以设置有凸台261,该凸台261的径向尺寸小于该限位柱26的其余部分的径向尺寸,该通孔42的尺寸大于该凸台261的径向尺寸且小于该限位柱26的其余部分的径向尺寸,以对该电路板组件40进行限位。如图2至图4所示,该凸台261可以使得该电路板组件40位于该凸台261所在的位置,而不会沿着该限位柱26的轴向有过多的移动,从而固定该电路板组件40的位置,便于将该电路板组件40与电池单体10进行焊接。
在本申请实施例中,第二腔体32内注入粘结剂,为了使得该粘结剂不会过多溢出至第一腔体31,该该支架20上还可以设置有挡胶结构22,该挡胶结构22用于阻止该第二腔体32中的该粘接剂进入该第一腔体31。
可选地,本申请实施例的挡胶结构22可以具有多种实现方式,例如,如图2至图4所示,该挡胶结构22可以为第一限位槽22,对应的,箱体30的内表面设置有与该第一限位槽22对应的结构,以与第一限位槽 22相互配合。
可选地,作为一个实施例,该箱体30的壁的内表面上可以设置有与该第一限位槽22对应的第一限位条35,该第一限位条35卡入该第一限位槽22,以阻止该第二腔体32中的该胶粘剂进入该第一腔体31。图5示出了本申请实施例的下箱体34的一种可能的实现方式,如图5所示,该箱体30的至少一个壁的内表面上设置有第一限位条35,例如,图5中下箱体34的两个侧壁和一个底壁上均设置有第一限位条35,该第一限位条35卡入第一限位槽22中,能够增加粘结剂溢出第二腔体32的路线,从而阻止粘结剂从第二腔体32溢出至第一腔体31中,避免粘结剂溢出至泄压机构13的表面而导致的泄压机构13失效。
可选地,作为另一个实施例,为了加强防溢胶效果,该箱体30的壁的内表面上还可以设置有与该第一限位条35对应的第二限位条36,该第一限位条35与该第二限位条36形成第二限位槽,该第一限位槽的一个侧壁221卡入该第二限位槽,以阻止该第二腔体32中的该胶粘剂进入该第一腔体31。图6示出了本申请实施例的下箱体34的另一种可能的实现方式,图7为图6所示的下箱体34容纳有支架20的情况的侧视图,图8为图7所示的容纳有支架20的下箱体34的截面示意图,该截面为图7所示的A-A’方向的截面。如图6至图8所示,下箱体34的至少一个壁的内表面上设置有第一限位条35和第二限位条36,该第一限位条35和第二限位条36相互平行以形成第二限位槽,例如,图中下箱体34的两个侧壁和一个底壁上均设置有该第二限位槽,支架20上的第一限位槽具有两个侧壁,其中一个侧壁221卡入该第二限位槽中,以阻止该第二腔体32中的该胶粘剂进入该第一腔体31。这样,能够进一步增加粘结剂溢出的路线,减少粘结剂溢出的风险,避免粘结剂溢出并遮挡泄压机构13的表面而导致的泄压机构13失效。
应理解,对于如图5至图8所示的下箱体34,当其多个壁上设置有第一挡胶条35和/或多个壁上设置有第二挡胶条36时,多个壁上的第一挡胶条35可以为相互连接的一体结构,例如如图5所示;或者,多个壁上的第一挡胶条35也可以为相互不连接、具有间隙的多个条状结构,例 如,如图6所示,多个第一挡胶条35之间的间隙可以用于避让支架20上的结构,或者也可以用于避让该箱体30内的其他部件;类似的,多个壁上的第二挡胶条36也可以为相互连接的一体结构或者相互分离的多个结构,本申请实施例并不限于此。
可选地,本申请实施例的箱体30的底壁的内表面上还可以设置有仿形结构38,该仿形结构38可以位于下箱体34的底壁上且位于该第二腔体32内,该仿形结构38的朝向该第二部分12的表面贴合该第二部分12,该仿形结构38用于填补该第二部分12与该箱体30的底壁之间的空间。具体地,图9示出了本申请实施例的下箱体34的再一种可能的实现方式,如图9所示,下箱体34的底壁上设置有仿形结构38,该仿形结构38能够贴合电池单体10的表面,例如,对于圆柱形电池单体10,该仿形结构38的朝向电池单体10的表面为圆弧状,该仿形结构38能够填补电池单体10的第二部分至下箱体34的底壁之间的空间,这样,在该第二腔体32内注入粘结剂时,该仿形结构38占用了第二腔体32内的一部分空间,节省了粘结剂需要填充的空间,减少了粘结剂的用量,既能够减少成本,也可以避免粘结剂用量过多导致粘结剂溢出,提高电池101的安全性。
应理解,本申请实施例的电池单体10、支架20以及箱体30之间可以通过粘结剂固定连接,进一步的,该支架20上还可以设置有第一卡扣27,该箱体30的侧壁上设置有第二卡扣37,该第一卡扣27和该第二卡扣37相互配合,以将该支架20固定于该箱体30内。可选地,该支架20上可以设置有多个第一卡扣27,箱体30上也可以设置有对应的多个第二卡扣37。例如,如图2至图9所示,支架20的一个侧壁上沿第一方向X设置有两个第一卡扣27,该第一方向X可以为支架的长度方向,对应的,箱体30的一个侧壁上设置有两个第二卡扣37,以使得该支架20不会在该箱体30内沿第二方向Z移动,该第二方向Z为支架20的高度方向。
在装配电池101时,可以先将多个电池单体10与支架20相固定,例如,可以通过第二开口24和/或第三开口固定电池单体10,再将电路板组件40与电池单体10固定,例如可以通过限位柱26和通孔42相互配 合,以定位该电路板组件40,在通过焊接等方式将电路板组件40与电池单体10进行固定,从而实现多个电池单体10与支架20之间的装配过程。最后,将固定为一体结构的电池单体10和支架20固定在箱体30内,例如,可以先固定在下箱体34内,具体地,可以通过支架20上的第一限位槽22,沿着箱体30内的第一限位条35,将支架20滑入下箱体34内,再通过支架20上的第一卡扣27和箱体30上的第二卡扣37的配合,使得支架20与箱体30之间相对稳定。之后,通过支架20上的第一开口21,向第二腔体32内注入粘结剂,以实现电池单体10、支架20和箱体30之间的固定连接。
