本申请中,电池是指包括一个或多个电池单体以提供电能的物理模块。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。
可选地,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。
电池单体包括电极组件和电解液,电极组件由正极片、负极片和隔离膜组成。电池单体主要依靠金属离子在正极片和负极片之间移动来工作。正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集流体凸出于已涂覆正极活性物质层的集流体,未涂敷正极活性物质层的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集流体凸出 于已涂覆负极活性物质层的集流体,未涂敷负极活性物质层的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、稳定性等性能。
电池安装于用电装置后,例如,电池安装于电动车辆后,车辆等用电装置的运动会对电池造成一定的冲击,若电池的稳定性不佳,则该冲击会对电池的性能产生不利影响且可能会引发安全问题。
作为示例,对于电动车辆中电池的固定,在一些实施方式中,可在电池的箱体和电动车辆的车架上分别设置相互配合的锁止结构,以实现电池在车架上的固定。
或者,在另一些实施方式中,也可以在电池的箱体中设置安装结构件,通过该安装结构件可实现将电池挂载于车架。可选地,安装结构件可设置于箱体的内部,且该安装结构件的内部可预留出空间,方便车架上的螺栓等结构件插入该安装结构件的内部,从而实现电池在车架上的挂载。
在该实施方式中,安装结构件需抵接于箱体的壁,安装结构件与箱体之间可形成密闭的空间,当车架上的螺栓等结构件插入该安装结构件时,不会破坏箱体内部的密封性,从而保证设置于箱体内部的电池单体的安全性能。
但与此同时,在电动车辆的运行过程中,车架上螺栓等结构件的震动会带动安装结构件震动,从而使得该直接抵接于箱体的壁的安装结构件对箱体的壁造成磨损。在车辆长时间运行的情况下,一方面,该磨损会影响箱体的刚度和强度,进而影响电池在车架上的挂载稳定性,另一方面,该磨损也会影响箱体的密封性,进而影响箱体内部电池单体的安全性能。因此,该实施方式下,电池的箱体在车辆中的安装稳定性以及密封性均不高,因而可能会带来一定的安全隐患。
鉴于此,本申请提供一种电池的箱体,该箱体中除了设置有上述用于将电池挂载于车辆的安装结构件以外,还包括刚性结构件。该刚性结构件与安装结构件相互抵接,可防止安装结构件直接接触于箱体的壁,从而防止安装结构件对箱体的壁造成磨损。通过该实施方式,可以提高固定于用电装置上的电池的稳定性。
本申请实施例描述的技术方案均适用于各种使用电池的装置,例如,手机、便携式设备、笔记本电脑、电瓶车、电动玩具、电动工具、电动车辆、船舶和航天器等,例如,航天器包括飞机、火箭、航天飞机和宇宙飞船等。
应理解,本申请实施例描述的技术方案不仅仅局限适用于上述所描述的装置,还可以适用于所有使用电池的装置,但为描述简洁,下述实施例均以电动车辆为例进行说明。
例如,如图1所示,为本申请一个实施例的一种车辆1的结构示意图,车辆1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1的内部可以设置马达11,控制器12以及电池10,控制器12用来控制电池10为马达11的供电。例如,在车辆1的底部或车头或车尾可以设置电池10。电池10可以用于车辆1的供电,例如,电池10可以作为车辆1的操作电源,用于车辆1的电路系统,例如,用于车辆1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10不仅仅可以作为车辆1的操作电源,还可以作为车辆1的驱动电源,替代或部分地替代燃油或天然气为车辆1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。
例如,如图2所示,为本申请一个实施例的一种电池10的结构示意图,电池10可以包括多个电池单体20。电池10还可以包括箱体(或称罩体),箱体内部为中空结构,多个电池单体20容纳于箱体内。如图2所示,箱体可以包括两部分,这里分别称为第一部分箱体110和第二部分箱体120,第一部分箱体110和第二部分箱体120扣合在一起。第一部分箱体110和第二部分箱体120的形状可以根据多个电池单体20组合的形状而定,第一部分箱体110和第二部分箱体120可以均具有一个开口。例如,第一部分箱体110和第二部分箱体120均可以为中空长方体且各自只有一个面为开口面,第一部分箱体110的开口和第二部分箱体120的开口相对设置,并且第一部分箱体110和第二部分箱体120相互扣合形成具有封闭腔室的箱体。多个电池单体20相互并联或串联或混联组合后置于第一部分箱体110和第二部分箱体120扣合后形成的箱体内。
可选地,电池10还可以包括其他结构,在此不再一一赘述。例如,该电池10还可以包括汇流部件,汇流部件用于实现多个电池单体20之间的电连接,例如并联或串联或混联。具体地,汇流部件可通过连接电池单体20的电极端子实现电池单体20之间的电连接。进一步地,汇流部件可通过焊接固定于电池单体20的电极端子。多个电池单体20的电能可进一步通过导电机构穿过箱体而引出。可选地,导电机构也可属于汇流部件。
根据不同的电力需求,电池单体20的数量可以设置为任意数值。多个电池单体20可通过串联、并联或混联的方式连接以实现较大的容量或功率。由于每个电池10中包括的电池单体20的数量可能较多,为了便于安装,可以将电池单体20分组设置,每组电池单体20组成电池模块。该每组电池单体20中包括的电池单体20的数量不限,可以根据需求设置。
图3为本申请一个实施例的一种电池单体20的结构示意图。
如图3所示,电池单体20包括一个或多个电极组件22、壳体211和盖板212。壳体211的壁以及盖板212均称为电池单体20的壁。壳体211根据一个或多个电极组件22组合后的形状而定,例如,壳体211可以为中空的长方体或正方体或圆柱体,且壳体211的其中一个面具有开口以便一个或多个电极组件22可以放置于壳体211内。例如,当壳体211为中空的长方体或正方体时,壳体211的其中一个平面为开口面,即 该平面不具有壁体而使得壳体211内外相通。当壳体211可以为中空的圆柱体时,壳体211的端面为开口面,即该端面不具有壁体而使得壳体211内外相通。盖板212覆盖开口并且与壳体211连接,以形成放置电极组件22的封闭的腔体。壳体211内填充有电解质,例如电解液。
该电池单体20还可以包括两个电极端子214,两个电极端子214可以设置在盖板212上。盖板212通常是平板形状,两个电极端子214固定在盖板212的平板面上,两个电极端子214分别为正电极端子214a和负电极端子214b。每个电极端子214各对应设置一个连接构件23,或者也可以称为集流构件23,其位于盖板212与电极组件22之间,用于将电极组件22和电极端子214实现电连接。
如图3所示,每个电极组件22具有第一极耳221a和第二极耳222a。第一极耳221a和第二极耳222a的极性相反。例如,当第一极耳221a为正极极耳时,第二极耳222a为负极极耳。一个或多个电极组件22的第一极耳221a通过一个连接构件23与一个电极端子连接,一个或多个电极组件22的第二极耳222a通过另一个连接构件23与另一个电极端子连接。例如,正电极端子214a通过一个连接构件23与正极极耳连接,负电极端子214b通过另一个连接构件23与负极极耳连接。
在该电池单体20中,根据实际使用需求,电极组件22可设置为单个,或多个,如图3所示,电池单体20内设置有4个独立的电极组件22。
作为示例,电池单体20的一个壁上还可设置泄压机构213。泄压机构213用于电池单体20的内部压力或温度达到阈值时致动以泄放内部压力或温度。
可选地,在本申请一个实施例中,泄压机构213和电极端子214设置于电池单体20的不同壁。作为示例,如图3所示,电池单体20的电极端子214可设置于电池单体20的顶壁,即盖板212。泄压机构213设置于电池单体20中不同于顶壁的另一个壁,例如,泄压机构213设置于与顶壁相对的底壁215。为了便于展示,图3中将底壁215与壳体211分离,但这并不限定壳体211的底侧具有开口。
可选地,在本申请另一个实施例中,泄压机构213和电极端子214设置于电池单体20的同一壁。例如,电极端子214和泄压机构213均可设置于电池单体20的顶壁,即盖板212。
上述泄压机构213可以为其所在壁的一部分,也可以与其所在壁为分体式结构,通过例如焊接的方式固定在其所在壁上。例如,在图3所示实施例中,当泄压机构213为底壁215的一部分时,泄压机构213可以通过在底壁215上设置刻痕的方式形成,与该刻痕的对应的底壁215厚度小于泄压机构213除刻痕处其他区域的厚度。刻痕处是泄压机构213最薄弱的位置。当电池单体20产生的气体太多使得壳体211内部压力升高并达到阈值或电池单体20内部反应产生热量造成电池单体20内部温度升高并达到阈值时,泄压机构213可以在刻痕处发生破裂而导致壳体211内外相通,气体压力及温度通过泄压机构213的裂开向外释放,进而避免电池单体20发生爆炸。
另外,泄压机构213可以为各种可能的泄压机构,本申请实施例对此并不限定。例如,泄压机构213可以为温敏泄压机构,温敏泄压机构被配置为在设有泄压机构213的电池单体20的内部温度达到阈值时能够熔化;和/或,泄压机构213可以为压敏泄压 机构,压敏泄压机构被配置为在设有泄压机构213的电池单体20的内部气压达到阈值时能够破裂。
上文结合图3说明了本申请实施例提供的一种电池单体20的示意性结构图,下面结合图4和图5,说明本申请实施例提供的一种箱体100的相关技术方案。其中,图4为本申请实施例提供的一种箱体100的立体爆炸示意图,图5为沿图4中A-A’方向的示意性截面图。
如图4和图5所示,箱体100包括:第一部分箱体110,设置有第一孔111;安装结构件130,位于箱体100内,并与第一孔111对应设置,该安装结构件130用于通过第一孔111将箱体100安装至用电装置;其中,第一孔111的边缘设置有刚性结构件140,该刚性结构件140与安装结构件130抵接,以防止该安装结构件130接触于第一部分箱体110。
具体地,在本申请实施例中,第一部分箱体110为箱体100中的部分箱体。作为一种示例,如图4所示,第一部分箱体110可为盖板结构,该第一部分箱体110可为箱体100中的其中一个壁。或者,在另一种示例中,该第一部分箱体110也可为图2所示的具有开口面的中空长方体结构。本申请实施例对该第一部分箱体110的具体形状和尺寸不做限定,旨在能够与箱体200中其它部分共同形成具有密闭腔室的立体结构即可。
另外,第一部分箱体110中设置有第一孔111,该第一孔111与位于箱体100内部的安装结构件130对应设置,以便于该安装结构件130能够通过第一孔111将箱体100安装至电池10所在的用电装置。
具体地,用电装置中设置有与该安装结构件130相互配合的结构件,该安装结构件130与其配合的结构件中的任意一者可穿过第一孔111,以实现二者的相互连接。例如,安装结构件130为具有螺纹结构的底座,用电装置中设置有与该底座相互配合的螺栓;或者,又例如,安装结构件130为螺栓,用电装置中设置有底座;螺栓穿过第一孔111连接至底座,以实现二者的相互连接。当然,在其它实施方式中,安装结构件130与其配合的结构件还可为其它类型的结构件,旨在能够实现二者的稳定连接即可,本申请实施例对此不做具体限定。
可选地,在一些实施方式中,安装结构件130可用于将箱体100挂载至用电装置。例如,安装结构件130可用于将箱体100挂载至车辆1的车架,以实现电池10在车辆1中的固定安装,当箱体100挂载于车辆1的车架后,箱体100位于车架的重力方向。当然,在其它实施方式中,安装结构件130也可用于实现箱体100在用电装置中除了挂载以外的其它安装形式,旨在能够实现箱体100在用电装置中的稳定设置即可,本申请实施例对此也不做具体限定。
结合图4和图5所示,在本申请实施例中,箱体100中除了设置有安装结构件130以外,在第一部分箱体110的第一孔111的边缘还设置有刚性结构件140,该刚性机构件140可为环状结构件,其中部的中空区域对应于第一孔111,且刚性结构件140抵接于第一部分箱体110位于第一孔111边缘的部位以及安装结构件130,以防止安装结构件130接触于第一部分箱体110位于第一孔111的边缘部位。
通过本申请实施例的技术方案,箱体100设置有安装结构件130,该安装结构件130与第一部分箱体110中的第一孔111对应设置,且可通过该第一孔111将箱体100安装至用电装置。在此基础上,第一孔111的边缘还设置有刚性结构件140,该刚性结构件140抵接于安装结构件130,可防止安装结构件130对第一部分箱体110中位于第一孔111边缘的部位造成磨损,从而防止该磨损带来的第一部分箱体110的刚度和强度下降等问题。通过保证第一部分箱体110的刚度和强度,可防止车辆等用电装置的运动对第一部分箱体110造成影响,从而提升箱体100以及电池10在用电装置内的安装稳定性,有利于提升电池10的安全性能以及综合性能,便于电池10在用电装置中的推广和使用。
另外,相比于通过柔性结构件抵接于安装结构件130以防止安装结构件130接触于第一部分箱体110的技术方案,本申请实施例中的刚性结构件140具有较大的刚度和强度,其稳定性和可靠性更高,能够更为有效的承受安装结构130对其产生的作用力且磨损程度较小。与此同时,刚性结构件140设置于第一部分箱体110与安装结构件130之间,能够提高第一部分箱体110与安装结构件130之间的连接强度,当安装结构件130通过第一部分箱体110中的第一孔111安装至用电装置时,第一部分箱体110与安装结构件130之间较高的连接强度也可进一步保证箱体100及其所在电池10在用电装置中的安装稳定性
可选地,在本申请实施例中,第一部分箱体110可以为复合材料,例如:片状模塑料(sheet molding compound,SMC)、预压料模压(prepreg compression molding,PCM)复合材料、高压树脂传递模塑成型(high pressure resin transfer molding,HP-RTM)复合材料等等。其具有重量轻,且强度相对较高的特点,在保证箱体100具有一定的强度以及可靠性的同时,能够降低箱体100的整体质量,便于电池10在用电装置中的安装和更换。
另外,可选地,在本申请实施例中,刚性结构件140可为金属材料,例如,刚材料、不锈钢材料、铝合金材料、铜材料等等。该刚性结构件140相比于第一部分箱体110可具有更强的耐磨性,且具有一定的刚度和强度。因而,金属材料可较为适宜的作为刚性结构件140应用于本申请实施例中,以提高箱体100以及电池10在用电装置内的安装稳定性。
可选地,在上述申请实施例的一些实施方式中,刚性结构件140可直接抵接于第一部分箱体110。具体地,刚性结构件140可直接抵接于第一部分箱体110中位于第一孔111边缘的部位。但在该实施方式下,刚性结构件140与第一部分箱体110之间的密封性不佳,会影响箱体100内部的电池单体20等电学部件的安全性能。
因此,可选地,在上述申请实施例的另一些实施方式,刚性结构件140与第一部分箱体110可通过第一密封件151相互抵接,以保证该刚性结构件140与第一部分箱体110之间的密封性。
图6示出了本申请实施例提供的另一箱体100的示意性截面图。
如图6所示,第一密封件151设置于刚性结构件140与第一部分箱体110之间。可选地,该第一密封件151可以为环状结构,其适配于第一部分箱体110中的第一孔 111的形状,并设置于刚性结构件140与第一部分箱体110中位于第一孔111边缘的部位之间。在该实施方式下,第一密封件151连接该刚性结构件140与第一部分箱体110中位于第一孔111边缘的部位,以保证该刚性结构件140与第一部分箱体110之间的密封性,进而提升箱体100整体的密封性,并提升箱体100内部的电池单体20等电学部件的安全性能。
可选地,该第一密封件151包括但不限于是:结构胶或者橡胶材料。除此之外,该第一密封件151还可以为相关技术中用于实现密封功能的其它任意材料,本申请实施例对此不做具体限定。
在第一密封件151为结构胶的情况下,该第一密封件151不仅可保证刚性结构件140与第一部分箱体110之间的密封性,还可实现该刚性结构件140与第一部分箱体110之间的可靠连接,进一步提高箱体100整体的可靠性。与此同时,结构胶也便于涂覆于刚性结构件140或者第一部分箱体110上,工艺实现相对简单,有利于提升箱体100以及电池10的制造效率。
可选地,为了保证该第一密封件151的强度等力学性能,该第一密封件151在刚性结构件140与第一部分箱体110之间的厚度也需控制在合适的范围内。作为示例而非限定,该第一密封件151的厚度在0.2mm至0.3mm之间,以使得第一密封件151可具有较优的力学性能,进一步保证并优化刚性结构件140与第一部分箱体110之间的可靠连接。
在上述图6实施例中,可通过第一密封件151实现刚性结构件140与第一部分箱体110之间的密封乃至可靠连接。进一步地,刚性结构件140与安装结构件130之间也可通过第二密封件152相互抵接,以保证该刚性结构件140与安装结构件130之间的密封性。当然,为了节约成本或者在较为密闭的安装环境下,刚性结构件140也可直接抵接于安装结构件130。
图7示出了本申请实施例提供的另一箱体100的示意性截面图。
如图7所示,第二密封件152的至少部分设置于刚性结构件140与安装结构件130之间。可选地,该第二密封件152可以为环状结构,其适配于第一部分箱体110中的第一孔111的形状,且设置于安装结构件130朝向刚性结构件140的一侧。在该实施方式下,第二密封件152抵接于该刚性结构件140与安装结构件130之间,以保证该刚性结构件140与安装结构件130之间的密封性,进而提升箱体100整体的密封性,并提升箱体100内部的电池单体20等电学部件的安全性能。
可选地,该第二密封件152包括但不限于是:橡胶材料或者结构胶。除此之外,该第二密封件152还可以为相关技术中用于实现密封功能的其它任意材料,本申请实施例对此不做具体限定。
作为示例,如图7所示,第二密封件152可以为橡胶材料,例如,第二密封件152可为橡胶圈。安装结构件130朝向刚性结构件140的一侧可形成有凹槽,该凹槽可用于容纳该第二密封件152,以便于第二密封件152安装于该安装结构件130。可以理解的是,在该实施方式中,第二密封件152的厚度需大于凹槽的深度,以使得第二密封件152的至少部分外露于凹槽,且该第二密封件152的至少部分可与刚性结构件130相 互抵接。
在第二密封件152为橡胶材料的情况下,该第二密封件152在具有良好密封性能的同时,还可便于安装设置于安装结构件130中,且便于更换和维修,从而保证该第二密封件152实现刚性结构件140与安装结构件130之间长期且较为可靠的密封。
在上文申请实施例中,第一部分箱体110中形成有第一孔111,刚性结构件140设置于第一孔111的边缘,且安装结构件130也与该第一孔111对应设置。虽然刚性结构件140可直接或间接的抵接于安装结构件130,且刚性结构件140可直接或间接的抵接于第一部分箱体110,但三者之间欠缺较为可靠以及牢固的相互连接,或者说,三者之间还可进一步实现更为可靠以及牢固的相互连接。因此,在本申请实施例中,箱体100还进一步包括固定件160,用于将第一部分箱体110以及刚性结构件140固定于安装结构件130,以实现三者的可靠连接。
图8示出了本申请实施例提供的另一箱体100的示意性截面图。
如图8所示,在本申请实施例中,箱体100还包括:固定件160,位于箱体100外,并经过第一孔111连接于安装结构件130,该固定件160用于将第一部分箱体110和刚性结构件140固定至安装结构件130。
具体地,如图8所示,该固定件160可位于第一部分箱体110朝向箱体100外部的一侧,该固定件160可从箱体100的外侧,穿过第一孔111,将第一部分箱体110以及刚性结构件140均固定至安装结构件130,以实现第一部分箱体110、刚性结构件140以及安装结构件130三者之间的可靠连接。
作为示例而非限定,如图8所示,固定件160可为一端具有凸缘的螺钉结构,该凸缘从箱体100的外侧附接于第一部分箱体110,螺钉通过第一孔111插入安装结构件130中,二者均可具有相互配合的螺纹结构以实现二者的固定连接。与此同时,凸缘作用于第一部分箱体110和刚性结构件140,以使得该第一部分箱体110和刚性结构件140能够紧密附接于安装结构件130。
可选地,如图8所示,固定件160中可预留出空间,该空间连通于安装结构件130的内部空间,以方便用电装置中的结构件能够进入该空间,并实现与安装结构件130的相互连接。
在图8所示实施例中,固定件160与第一部分箱体110直接抵接,在用电装置的运动过程中,用电装置中的结构件的震动会带动安装结构件130以及该固定件160震动,从而使得固定件160对第一部分箱体110造成磨损。
鉴于此,在本申请实施例中,刚性结构件140除了与安装结构件130相互抵接以外,还与固定件160相互抵接,以防止该固定件160接触于第一部分箱体110,从而防止该固定件160对第一部分箱体110造成磨损。
图9示出了本申请实施例提供的另一箱体100的示意性截面图。
如图9所示,在本申请实施例中,刚性结构件140可包覆第一部分箱体110中第一孔111的侧壁,以及第一部分箱体110位于该第一孔111的边缘且朝向箱体100的内部和外部的表面。
具体地,在本申请实施例中,刚性结构件140中的第一部分可包覆第一部分箱 体110位于第一孔111的边缘且朝向箱体100的内部的表面,该第一部分刚性结构件可直接或间接的抵接于第一部分箱体110和安装结构件130,以防止安装结构件130对第一部分箱体110造成磨损。
另外,刚性结构件140中的第二部分可包覆第一部分箱体110位于第一孔111的边缘且朝向箱体100的外部的表面,该第二部分刚性结构件可直接或间接的抵接于第一部分箱体110和固定件160,以防止固定件160对第一部分箱体110造成磨损。
再者,刚性结构件140中的第三部分可包覆第一部分箱体110中第一孔111的侧壁,该第三部分刚性结构件可用于连接第一部分刚性结构件与第二部分刚性结构件,使得刚性结构件140的整体能够更为稳固的设置于第一孔111的边缘,与第一部分箱体110形成可靠且稳固的连接。另外,第三部分刚性结构件设置于固定件160和安装结构件130之间,可提供固定件160与安装结构件130之间的刚性连接,承受固定件160与安装结构件130之间的拧紧力,保证固定件160与安装结构件130之间不会松动。通过该第三部分刚性结构件的设置,可以使得第一部分箱体110、刚性结构件140与安装结构件130之间的相互连接更为稳固,进而提升箱体100通过安装结构件130安装于用电装置的安装稳定性。
可选地,如图9所示,在刚性结构件140中,上述第一部分刚性结构件与第一部分箱体110朝向箱体100内部的表面之间可设置有第一密封件151,和/或,上述第二部分刚性结构件与第一部分箱体110朝向箱体100外部的表面之间可设置有填充层153。其中,第一密封件151用于保证第一部分刚性结构件与第一部分箱体110朝向箱体100内部的表面之间的密封性。填充层153首先可以用于吸收刚性结构件140和第一部分箱体110的制造公差,以避免刚性结构件140与第一部分箱体110之间由于制造工艺影响形成间隙,进而提升箱体100整体的密封性等相关性能。其次,填充层153可为结构胶层,该结构胶层除了可用于起到密封作用以外,还可用于实现第二部分刚性结构件与第一部分箱体110之间的连接,以进一步提高刚性结构件140在第一部分箱体110上的安装稳定性。当然,填充层153除了可为结构胶层以外,还可采用其它填充材料,例如橡胶、泡棉等等,本申请实施例对该具体地填充材料不做具体限定。
可选地,刚性结构件140除了可包括上文所述的三部分结构件以外,在其它实施方式中,刚性结构件140中的上述第三部分也可省略,即刚性结构件140中包括相互分离的第一部分和第二部分,该第一部分和第二部分可分别通过结构胶粘附于第一部分箱体110位于该一孔111的边缘且朝向箱体100的内部和外部的表面。在该实施方式下,虽然刚性结构件140在第一部分箱体110上的安装稳定性略差,但可减少刚性结构件140的用量,降低刚性结构件140以及箱体100整体的制造成本。
对于图9中所示的刚性结构件140,可选地,在一些实施方式中,该刚性结构件140可由两个刚性套构成,该两个刚性套被配置为能够相互连接,从而便于刚性结构件140在第一部分箱体110中第一孔111边缘处的安装。
图10示出了本申请实施例提供的另一箱体100的示意性截面图。
如图10所示,在本申请实施例中,刚性结构件140可包括第一刚性套141和第二刚性套142,该第一刚性套141包括第一管状结构1411和第一凸缘结构1412,该第 一管状结构位于第一孔111的侧壁,该第一凸缘结构1412包覆第一部分箱体110位于第一孔111的边缘且朝向箱体100内部的表面。该第二刚性套142包括第二管状结构1421和第二凸缘结构1422,该第二管状结构1421位于第一孔111的侧壁,并与第一管状结构1411相互配合连接,第二凸缘结构1422包覆第一部分箱体110位于第一孔111的边缘且朝向箱体110外部的表面。
具体地,对于第一刚性套141的第一管状结构1411,以及第二刚性套142中的第二管状结构1421,二者在径向上的形状尺寸可适配于第一部分箱体110中第一孔111的形状尺寸。例如,二者在径向上的尺寸可略小于第一孔111的直径,以使得二者能够安装设置于第一孔111内并位于第一孔111的侧壁。另外,第一管状结构1411和第二管状结构1421在轴向上的尺寸可适配于第一部分箱体110的厚度。例如,第一管状结构1411和第二管状结构1421在轴向上的尺寸略大于第一部分箱体110的厚度。
另外,第一凸缘结构1412连接于第一管状结构1411,且位于第一管状结构1411朝向箱体100的内部的一端,并沿第一部分箱体110朝向箱体100的内部的表面延伸。该第一凸缘结构1412可直接抵接于第一部分箱体110位于第一孔111的边缘且朝向箱体100内部的表面,或者,如图10所示,该第一凸缘结构1412可通过第一密封件151抵接于第一部分箱体110,具体地,该第一凸缘结构1412通过第一密封件151抵接于位于第一孔111的边缘且朝向箱体100内部的表面。另外,在第一凸缘结构1412抵接于第一部分箱体110的同时,该第一凸缘结构1412还可抵接于安装结构件130。具体地,该第一凸缘结构1412也可直接抵接于安装结构件130,或者,第一凸缘结构1412也可通过第二密封件152抵接于安装结构件130。
在该实施方式中,如图10所示,位于第一凸缘结构1412与第一部分箱体110之间的第一密封件151的宽度可基本覆盖第一凸缘结构1412的宽度。其中,该第一密封件151和第一凸缘结构1412的宽度可理解为第一密封件151和第一凸缘结构1412在第一方向上的尺寸,该第一方向平行于第一孔111的径向方向,或者说,第一方向平行于第一管状结构1411的径向方向。
通过该实施方式,可以较大程度的利用第一凸缘结构1412的空间设置足够的第一密封件151以实现第一凸缘结构1412与第一部分箱体110之间的较为可靠的密封和连接。
作为示例而非限定,该第一密封件151的宽度可大于或等于15mm,以保证第一凸缘结构1412与第一部分箱体110之间的较为可靠的密封和连接。
另外,如上文所述,该第一密封件151的厚度可在0.2mm至0.3mm之间,以使得第一密封件151可具有较优的力学性能,从而保证并优化第一刚性套141与第一部分箱体110之间的可靠连接。
请继续参见图10,第二凸缘结构1422连接于第二管状结构1421,且位于第二管状结构1421朝向箱体100的外部的一端,并沿第一部分箱体110朝向箱体100的外部的表面延伸。该第二凸缘结构1422可直接抵接于第一部分箱体110位于第一孔111的边缘且朝向箱体100外部的表面,或者,如图10所示,该第二凸缘结构1422可通过填充层153抵接于第一部分箱体110位于第一孔111的边缘且朝向箱体100外部的表 面,换言之,第二凸缘结构1422与第一部分箱体110位于第一孔111的边缘且朝向箱体100外部的表面之间设置有填充层153。
结合上文所述,在本申请实施例中,填充层153首先可以用于吸收第一刚性套141、第二刚性套142以及第一部分箱体110的制造公差,以避免第一刚性套141、第二刚性套142与第一部分箱体110之间由于制造工艺影响形成间隙,进而提升箱体100整体的密封性等相关性能。其次,填充层153可为结构胶层,该结构胶层除了可用于起到密封作用以外,还可用于实现第二刚性套142与第一部分箱体110之间的连接,以进一步提高刚性结构件140在第一部分箱体110上的安装稳定性。
可选地,该填充层153在第二凸缘结构1422与第一部分箱体110之间的厚度可大于第一密封件151的厚度,以使得该填充层153较大的厚度,从而能够充分吸收第一刚性套141、第二刚性套142以及第一部分箱体110的制造公差,保证箱体100的性能。
可选地,如图10所示,在一些实施方式中,第二管状结构1421包覆第一孔111的至少部分侧壁,第一管状结构1411包覆至少部分第二管状结构1421。
在该实施方式下,在实现第一管状结构1411和第二管状结构1421相互配合连接并设置于第一孔111的侧壁的基础上,相比于第二管状结构1421,该第一管状结构1411远离于第一孔111的侧壁设置,连接于第一管状结构1411的第一凸缘结构1412在径向方向上的长度较长,从而能够增大该第一凸缘结构1412的面积以及该第一凸缘结构1412与安装结构件130之间的接触面积,从而保证第一刚性套141与安装结构件130之间的连接可靠性。另外,在该实施方式下,第一凸缘结构1412与安装结构件130之间能够较为方便的设置第二密封件152,也能提高第二密封件152与第一凸缘结构1412和安装结构件130的接触面积,从而提升第二密封件152在第一凸缘结构1412与安装结构件130之间的密封性。再者,在该实施方式下,可首先将第一刚性套141设置于第一孔111,其中第一管状结构1411可包覆第一孔111的至少部分侧壁,然后,再将第二刚性套142与第一刚性套141相互连接,二者之间安装工艺较为简单,且能够与第一孔111配合良好。
除了如图10所示方式设置第一管状结构1411和第二管状结构1421以实现第一管状结构1411和第二管状结构1421相互配合连接并设置于第一孔111的侧壁以外,在其它实施方式中,第一管状结构1411包覆第一孔111的至少部分侧壁,第二管状结构1421包覆至少部分第一管状结构1411,也可实现第一管状结构1411和第二管状结构1421相互配合连接并设置于第一孔111的侧壁。
作为示例而非限定,如图10所示,第一管状结构1411和第二管状结构1421被配置为通过螺纹相互配合连接。该实施方式工艺简单、易于实现,且能够保证第一刚性套141和第二刚性套142之间的稳定可靠连接。
当然,第一管状结构1411和第二管状结构1421除了可通过螺纹相互配合连接以外,还可通过相关技术中其它机械连接方式相互连接,例如,可通过结构胶、卡扣、凹凸配合等等方式实现第一管状结构1411和第二管状结构1421之间的相互连接,本申请实施例对具体的机械连接方式不做具体限定。
图11示出了上述第一刚性套141和第二刚性套142的一种立体示意图。
如图11所示,为实现第一管状结构1411包覆至少部分第二管状结构1421以及二者的配合连接,第一刚性套141的第一管状结构1411上设置有外螺纹,对应的,第二刚性套142的第二管状结构1421上设置有内螺纹,以使得二者之间能够相互配合连接。
另外,如图11所示,第一刚性套141的第一凸缘结构1412上设置有限位台阶1413,该限位台阶1413用于容纳上述第一密封件151。
具体地,该实施方式中,限位台阶1413的高度可控制在一定的范围内,从而使得容纳于该限位台阶1413中的第一密封件151的厚度也控制在一定范围的范围内,例如,0.2mm至0.3mm以内,从而保证第一密封件151具有较佳的力学性能。
另外,限位台阶1413的宽度也可基本覆盖第一凸缘结构1412的宽度,从而较大程度的利用第一凸缘结构1412的空间,使得容纳于该限位台阶1413中的第一密封件151的宽度较宽,从而保证第一密封件151具有较好的密封性能。
通过本申请实施例的技术方案,在第一刚性套141的第一凸缘结构1412上设置限位台阶1413,以控制容纳于该限位台阶1413中的第一密封件151的尺寸。该实施方式较为简单且易于实现,还能使得第一密封件151可具有良好的性能,从而提高箱体100整体的制造效率和性能。
继续参见图11,第一刚性套141的第一凸缘结构1412和第二刚性套142的第二凸缘结构1422的外形均为多边形。该多边形的第一凸缘结构1412和第二凸缘结构1422可为第一刚性套141和第二刚性套142的安装工具提供卡止结构,便于该安装工具卡止于第一凸缘结构1412和第二凸缘结构1422,并实现第一刚性套141和第二刚性套142之间的相互连接和安装。
具体地,当安装工具卡止于第一凸缘结构1412和/或第二凸缘结构1422后,通过旋转安装工具从而旋转第一凸缘结构1412和/或第二凸缘结构1422,带动第一管状结构1411和/或第二管状结构1422旋转,从而使得第一管状结构1411和第二管状结构1422通过螺纹相互连接,以实现第一刚性套141和第二刚性套142之间的相互连接和安装。
可选地,第一凸缘结构1412的外形不同于第二凸缘结构1422的外形。例如,第一凸缘结构1412的外形为具有N条直边的多边形,第二凸缘结构1422的外形为具有M条边的多边形,其中M和N为不相等的两个正整数。或者,在M与N相等的情况下,两个多边形的形状不同。作为示例而非限定,在图11所示实施例中,第一凸缘结构1412和第二凸缘结构1422的外形均为十二边形,但第一凸缘结构1412的外形为正十二边形,而第二凸缘结构1422的外形不为正十二边形。
通过本申请实施例的技术方案,第一凸缘结构1412的外形不同于第二凸缘结构1422的外形,可以起到防错功能,即通过第一凸缘结构1412和第二凸缘结构1422的外形即可分辨出第一刚性套141和第二刚性套142,有利于第一刚性套141和第二刚性套142在第一部分箱体110上的正确安装。
可选地,在上述各实施例中,第一孔111可设置于第一部分箱体110的中部区域。对应的,在该实施方式下,刚性结构件140和安装结构件130也对应位于箱体100 的中部区域,通过该位于箱体100的中部区域的安装结构件130以及刚性结构件140,可以更为均衡以及稳固的将箱体100及其所在的电池10安装于用电装置。
可选地,箱体100中可包括一个或多个刚性结构件140,在箱体100包括多个刚性结构件140的情况下,能够进一步提升箱体100及其所在电池10在用电装置中的安装稳定性。

如图12所示,在本申请实施例中,箱体100包括两个刚性结构件140,该两个刚性结构件140可分布设置于第一部分箱体110的中部区域。
可选地,第一部分箱体110可近似看成板状结构,该两个刚性结构件140可位于第一部分箱体110在长度方向上的中轴线L1上,且相对于第一部分箱体110在宽度方向上的中轴线L2对称设置。
可选地,在其它实施方式中,该两个刚性结构件140相对于第一部分箱体110在长度方向上的中轴线L1对称设置,或者相对于第一部分箱体110的对角线对称设置。通过上述实施方式,能够使得箱体100及其所在电池10更为均衡和稳定的安装设置于用电装置。
可选地,继续参见图12和图13,在本申请示例中,箱体100还可进一步包括第二部分箱体120,该第二部分箱体120可与上述第一部分箱体110相互扣合形成用于容纳电池单体20的容纳腔。
具体地,该第二部分箱体120可为具有开口的中空长方体结构,其尺寸可与第一部分箱体110相互配合,以形成密闭的容纳腔,保证位于该容纳腔中电池单体20以及其它相关结构件的整体性能。
可选地,如图13所示,第二部分箱体120中可设置有横梁121,该横梁121可用于将多个电池单体20相互隔开,并提高多个电池单体20在箱体100中的安装稳定性。
在一些实施方式中,上述安装结构件130可设置于该横梁121。例如,安装结构件130可设置于横梁121中与第一部分箱体110相对的表面,以便于安装结构件130与第一部分箱体110中的第一孔111相互对应。
通过本申请实施例的技术方案,利用第二部分箱体120中的横梁121设置安装结构件130,一方面不会占用箱体100中其它用于容纳电池单体20的空间,提升电池10的能量密度,另一方面,横梁121在箱体100中的安装稳定性较高,因此,将安装结构件130设置于横梁121,也能提高安装结构件130在箱体100中的安装稳定性。
另外,如图13所示,在本申请实施例中,刚性结构件140可如图10至图11所示的刚性结构件140,即包括第一刚性套141和第二刚性套142。该第二刚性套142和第一刚性套141上下包覆第一部分箱体110中位于第一孔111边缘的区域。且该第一刚性套141和第二刚性套142可通过螺纹连接,安装固定于第一孔111的位置。
进一步地,在图13所示实施例中,第一刚性套141和第二刚性套142与安装结构件130以及固定件160对应设置。固定件160可穿过第一刚性套141和第二刚性套 142固定至安装结构件130。该第一刚性套141和第二刚性套142承受固定件160与安装结构件130之间的拧紧力,保证此处的硬连接,且使得该部位不会松动,提升箱体100在用电装置中的安装稳定性。与此同时,第一刚性套141和第二刚性套142还可以避免固定件160和安装结构件130对第一部分箱体110造成磨损,提升箱体100整体的使用寿命以及可靠性。
需要说明的是,图13所示实施例中,第一刚性套141与第一部分箱体110之间可设置有第一密封件151,第一刚性套141与安装结构件130之间可设置有第二密封件152,且第二刚性套142与第一部分箱体110之间可设置有填充层153。该第一密封件151、第二密封件152和填充层153的具体设置方式以及相关功能可以参见上文实施例中的相关描述,此处不做过多赘述。
