背景技术
锂离子电池具有能量密度高、环境污染小、功率密度大、使用寿命长、适应范围广、自放电系数小等突出的优点,是现今世界上应用最为广泛的电池之一,也是新能源发展的重要组成部分。锂离子电池的电池单体是由正极极片、负极极片和隔膜通过卷绕或者叠片等方式组装成电极组件(裸电芯),之后装入壳体,再盖上端盖,最后注入电解液后得到的。但是,随着锂离子电池技术的不断发展,对锂离子电池的安全性能和循环使用寿命等也提出了更高的要求。然而,现有的电池中的电池单体在后期使用过程中极容易出现短路或壳体腐蚀的现象,从而导致电池存在较大的安全隐患,不利于消费者的使用安全。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供一种端盖组件、电池单体、电池及用电装置,能够有效降低电池在使用过程中的安全隐患。
第一方面,本申请实施例提供一种端盖组件,包括端盖、极柱、第一隔离件、第二隔离件和绝缘件;端盖开设有安装孔,安装孔沿端盖的厚度方向贯穿端盖;极柱用于与电极组件电连接,极柱包括穿设于安装孔内的主体段;沿端盖的厚度方向,第一隔离件和第二隔离件分别设置于端盖的两侧,第一隔离件和第二隔离件用于配合绝缘隔离端盖和极柱;绝缘件沿主体段的周向包覆于主体段,绝缘件被配置为阻挡主体段与进入安装孔内的导电介质接触;其中,沿端盖的厚度方向,第一隔离件和第二隔离件在与安装孔相对的位置形成有间隙,绝缘件的两端均超出间隙。
在上述技术方案中,端盖的两侧分别设置有第一隔离件和第二隔离件,以使第一隔离件和第二隔离件能够配合绝缘隔离端盖和极柱,由于第一隔离件和第二隔离件在安装孔对应的位置形成有间隙,使得端盖组件在被电解液污染,电解液进入至间隙内后会形成具有导电能力的结晶,从而通过在极柱的主体段的外周侧包覆绝缘件,并将绝缘件的两端均超出间隙,以使绝缘件能够有效绝缘隔离极柱和电解液在间隙处形成的结晶,且绝缘件还能够绝缘隔离极柱和安装孔的孔壁在加工时形成的毛刺,进而能够有效减少极柱与端盖之间出现电流导通的现象,有利于降低具有这种端盖组件的电池单体出现短路的风险,且能够有效减少端盖组件的端盖或电池单体的壳体出现电腐蚀的安全隐患。
在一些实施例中,第一隔离件具有延伸至安装孔内的隔离部,隔离部用于绝缘隔离端盖和主体段;沿端盖的厚度方向,隔离部与第二隔离件形成间隙。
在上述技术方案中,通过在第一隔离件上设置隔离部,且隔离部延伸至安装孔内,也就是说,隔离部位于极柱的主体段与安装孔的孔壁之间,从而能够提高第一隔离件绝缘隔离极柱的主体段与安装孔的孔壁的效果,且有利于减小第一隔离件与第二隔离件之间形成的间隙的大小,进而能够进一步降低极柱与端盖之间出现电流导通的风险。
在一些实施例中,沿端盖的厚度方向,端盖具有相对的第一侧和第二侧,第二侧用于面向电极组件;端盖组件还包括连接件,连接件连接于极柱且位于第一侧,沿端盖的厚度方向,第一隔离件的至少部分位于连接件和端盖之间,以绝缘隔离连接件和端盖;其中,沿端盖的厚度方向,连接件具有用于抵靠于第一隔离件的第一抵靠面,绝缘件具有伸出于第一侧的第一端,第一抵靠面相 较于第一端更靠近于端盖。

在一些实施例中,极柱还包括第一连接段;第一连接段连接于主体段且位于第一侧,第一连接段被配置为将连接件压紧于第一隔离件。
在上述技术方案中,极柱具有位于端盖的第一侧的第一连接段,通过第一连接段能够将连接件压紧于第一隔离件上,从而使得极柱能够通过连接件紧固于端盖上,以提升极柱的安装稳定性和牢靠性。

在上述技术方案中,极柱具有位于端盖的第二侧的第二连接段,并将第二连接段通过第二隔离件抵靠于端盖的第二侧,从而通过第二连接段能够将极柱固定于端盖上,且使得第二隔离件能够有效隔绝第二连接段和端盖的第二侧。其中,通过将绝缘件的第二端伸出于端盖的第二侧,且将第二端设置为相较于第一隔离件的第二抵靠面更远离于端盖,也就是说,绝缘件的第二端超出第二隔离件的第二抵靠面,从而能够进一步提升端盖与极柱之间的绝缘隔离效果。
在一些实施例中,端盖组件还包括密封件;密封件套设于绝缘件的外侧,且密封件位于安装孔内,密封件用于密封隔离部和第二隔离件。
在上述技术方案中,通过在第一隔离件的隔离部与第二隔离件之间设置密封件,也就是说,第一隔离件的隔离部与第二隔离件之间形成的间隙内设置有密封件,从而能够提升第一隔离件的隔离部与第二隔离件之间的密封效果,以降低电解液渗入的风险。
在一些实施例中,主体段的外周面开设有沿主体段的周向延伸的环形槽,环形槽用于容纳绝缘件。
在上述技术方案中,通过在极柱的主体段的外周面上开设用于容纳绝缘件的环形槽,从而采用这种结构一方面能够对绝缘件起到一定的限位作用,以减少绝缘件相对主体段出现窜动的现象,另一方面还能够对绝缘件起到一定的定位作用,从而在生产的过程中便于对绝缘件进行安装。
在一些实施例中,沿极柱的径向,绝缘件的外周面不超出主体段的外周面。

在一些实施例中,绝缘件的厚度为0.005mm-1.5mm。
在上述技术方案中,通过将绝缘件的厚度设置在0.005毫米至1.5毫米之间,从而能够降低因绝缘件的厚度太薄而造成绝缘效果不佳的风险,且能够缓解因绝缘件的厚度太厚而占用极柱的空间,以造成极柱的导流能力不足的现象。

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或多个电池模块的箱体。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。
电池单体包括外壳、电极组件和电解液,外壳用于容纳电极组件和电解液。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。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。
锂离子电池具有能量密度高、环境污染小、功率密度大、使用寿命长、适应范围广、自放电系数小等突出的优点,是现今世界上应用最为广泛的电池之一,也是新能源发展的重要组成部分。锂离子电池的电池单体是由正极极片、负极极片和隔膜通过卷绕或者叠片等方式组装成电极组件(裸电芯),之后装入壳体,再盖上端盖,最后注入电解液后得到的。但是,随着锂离子电池技术的不断发展,对锂离子电池的安全性能和循环使用寿命等也提出了更高的要求。
发明人发现,对于一般的电池单体而言,电池单体通常采用在端盖上设置安装孔,并将极柱在穿设于安装孔内后铆接于端盖上,且极柱与容纳于壳体内的电极组件进行电连接,以使极柱作为电池单体的正输出极或负输出极,从而实现电池单体的电能的输出和输出。在现有技术中,为了保证极柱与端盖之间的绝缘,避免极柱与端盖以及壳体形成电流导通,通常采用在端盖的两侧设置上塑胶和下塑胶,并将上塑胶或下塑胶的部分延伸至安装孔的孔壁与极柱之间,以实现极柱与端盖之间的绝缘隔离。然而,在这种结构的电池单体中,由于上塑胶与端盖之间和上塑胶与下塑胶之间均存在间隙,以导致电池单体在受到外部的电解液污染时电解液会渗透至上塑胶与端盖之间和上塑胶与下塑胶之间的间隙处,并形成能够导电的结晶,从而造成极柱与端盖形成电流导通的现象,使得电池单体的端盖和壳体带电,进而极容易造成电池单体在后期使用过程中出现短路或壳体出现电腐蚀的现象,以导致电池单体存在较大的安全隐患,不利于消费者的使用安全,且不利于提升电池单体的循环使用寿命。
基于上述考虑,为了解决电池单体在后期使用过程中存在较大的安全隐患和使用寿命较短的问题,发明人经过深入研究,设计了一种端盖组件,端盖组件包括端盖、极柱、第一隔离件、第二隔离件和绝缘件。端盖上设置有安装孔,且安装孔沿端盖的厚度方向贯穿端盖的两侧。极柱具有插设于安装孔内的主体段。第一隔离件和第二隔离件沿端盖的厚度方向分别设置于端盖的两侧,第一隔离件和第二隔离件用于配合绝缘隔离端盖和极柱,沿端盖的厚度方向,第一隔离件和第二隔离件在与安装孔相对的位置形成有间隙。绝缘件包覆于主体段的外周侧,且绝缘件的两端均超出间隙,绝缘件被配置为阻挡主体段与进入安装孔内的导电介质接触。
在具有这种端盖组件的电池单体中,端盖的两侧分别设置有第一隔离件和第二隔离件,以使第一隔离件和第二隔离件能够配合绝缘隔离端盖和极柱,由于第一隔离件和第二隔离件在安装孔对应的位置形成有间隙,使得端盖组件在被电解液污染,电解液进入至间隙内后会形成具有导电能力的结晶,从而通过在极柱的主体段的外周侧包覆绝缘件,并将绝缘件的两端均超出间隙,以使绝缘件能够有效绝缘隔离极柱和电解液在间隙处形成的结晶,且绝缘件还能够绝缘隔离极柱和安装孔的孔壁在加工时形成的毛刺,进而能够有效减少极柱与端盖之间出现电流导通的现象,有利于降低具有这种端盖组件的电池单体出现短路的风险,且能够有效减少端盖组件的端盖或电池单体的壳体出现电腐蚀的安全隐患。
本申请实施例公开的端盖组件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端盖组件、电池单体等组成该用电装置的电源系统,这样,有利于缓解电池单体出现短路或电腐蚀的现象,以提升电池单体的使用寿命和安全性。
