Description

一种防爆阀、电池及用电装置
本申请要求于2021年12月27日在中国专利局提交的,申请号为202123322222.X,发明名称为“一种防爆阀、电池及用电装置”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及电化学装置技术领域,特别是涉及一种防爆阀、电池及用电装置。
背景技术
由于具有能量密度高、重量轻等优点,锂电池广泛应用于便携式电子设备、电动汽车、航空航天等技术领域。而安全性能是限制锂电池发展的重要因素。
相关技术中,为提高电池的安全性能,在电池的外壳上设置防爆阀。防爆阀能够在电池内部压力较大时对电池进行泄压,以降低电池内外部的压差,从而降低电池发生热失效的概率。而相关技术中的防爆阀的泄压能力不太高,从而导致电池的安全性能不够好。此外,当需要对电池内部进行维护时,需要将防爆阀拆除,使得对电池内部进行维护难度较大。
技术问题
本申请实施例的目的在于提供一种防爆阀、电池及用电装置,以提高防爆阀的泄压性能,从而提高电池的安全性能,并降低电池内部的维护难度。
技术解决方案
本申请第一方面的实施例提供了一种防爆阀,防爆阀包括主体、与主体连接的前盖、导杆、卡扣结构及控制结构。其中,导杆与主体连接且置于主体内;卡扣结构包括设置于前盖上的卡爪部及设置于导杆上的卡扣部,且卡扣部可沿导杆的轴线方向移动,或卡扣结构包括设置于前盖上的卡扣部及设置于导杆上的卡爪部,且卡爪部可沿导杆的轴线方向移动,卡扣部与卡爪部卡接;控制结构设置于前盖的远离卡扣结构的一侧,控制结构与卡扣结构连接,用于控制卡爪部与卡扣部断开连接。
本申请实施例提供的防爆阀,防爆阀可以安装于电池的箱体上,且防爆阀的内部与电池的内部连通。当电池内部气压大于电池外部气压时,前盖在电池内外压差的作用下向外移动打开,带动卡扣结构沿导杆的轴线方向移动,由此,前盖打开将电池内部的气压释放出去,降低电池的内外压差。电池的内外压差降低后,卡扣结构带动前盖后移以使前盖重新与主体连接,使电池内部重新处于密封状态。而当电池的内外压差过大时,较大的压差会使前盖的移动行程较大,使得卡扣结构在较大的拉力的作用下脱扣,前盖不再与通过卡扣结构与主体连接,此时电池内外连通,使得电池的内外压差接近于零,由此,防爆阀的泄压性能较强,可以降低电池出现热失效的概率,从而提高电池的安全性能。此外,当需要对电池的内部进行维护时,可通过控制结构控制卡扣结构断开连接,使得前盖能够打开,从而可以对电池内部进行维护,并且当对电池内部的维护完成后,可通过控制结构使卡扣结构重新连接,可以在不对防爆阀造成损坏的情况下,降低电池内部的维护难度。
一些实施例中,卡爪部设置于前盖上,控制结构与卡爪部连接。卡爪部包括相对设置的第一卡钩和第二卡钩,第一卡钩包括位于前盖靠近主体的一侧的第一端,以及位于前盖远离主体的一侧的第二端,第二卡钩包括位于前盖靠近主体的一侧的第三端,以及位于前盖远离主体的第四端,控制结构包括第二端及第四端,且沿垂直于导杆的轴线方向,第二端与第四端之间的距离可调。由此,通过控制结构减小第二端及第四端之间的距离即可使卡扣部脱扣,使得前盖与主体之间不再通过卡扣结构连接,前盖打开,可以对电池内部进行维护,降低电池内部的维护难度。
一些实施例中,防爆阀还包括固定壳体,固定壳体位于前盖远离主体的一侧,卡爪部的位于前盖远离主体的一侧的部分结构置于固定壳体内,且第二端与第四端朝向相反的方向弯折以伸出固定壳体。由此,固定壳体限制了第二端与第四端沿之间可调节的距离范围,降低了因第二端及第四端因过度调节而造成第一卡钩或第二卡钩发生弯折等损坏的概率。
一些实施例中,卡扣部设置于前盖上,控制结构与卡扣部连接。卡爪部包括相对设置的第三卡钩及第四卡钩,且第三卡钩及第四卡钩间具有间隙;卡扣部与第三卡钩及第四卡钩卡接,控制结构用于控制卡扣部旋转,以使卡扣部置于间隙内并与第三卡钩及第四卡钩断开连接。由此,当需要对电池内部进行维护时,通过控制结构转动卡扣部可使卡扣部脱扣,使得前盖与主体之间不再通过卡扣结构连接,前盖打开,可以对电池内部进行维护,降低电池内部的维护难度。
一些实施例中,导杆包括第一部段和与第一部段连接的第二部段,第一部段可沿自身的轴线方向移动,卡爪部或卡扣部设置于第一部段的远离第二部段的一侧;防爆阀还包括弹性元件,弹性元件与第一部段及第二部段连接,且弹性元件套接于第一部段的外侧。由此,前盖在弹性结构的拉力作用下与主体紧密接触,保证防爆阀的密封性。
一些实施例中,主体和前盖铰接连接。由此,使前盖相对于主体转动一定角度,控制前盖打开的角度和方向,避免电池内气体排出影响防爆阀内其他电器件的功能,使防爆阀可以更好的泄压。
一些实施例中,主体包括与前盖铰接的第一侧壁,以及与第一侧壁相对设置的第二侧壁,导杆相对于第一侧壁更加靠近第二侧壁设置。由此,减小前盖位于导杆上方的部分与主体间的夹角角度,使得电池内的气体更多的由前盖的位于导杆下方的开口排出,从而使得电池内的高压气体更多的向下排放,进一步降低由防爆阀排出的高压气体对电池内其他电器件的影响。
一些实施例中,防爆阀还包括第一密封件及第二密封件,第一密封件位于前盖与主体之间;第二密封件位于主体的远离前盖的一侧。第一密封件和第二密封件可以增加防爆阀的气密性,防止电池内的气体泄露或外部气体进入电池内部,降低电池失效的概率。
本申请第二方面的实施例提供了一种电池,电池括上述任一的防爆阀,防爆阀设置于电池的壳体上。
本申请第三方面的实施例提供了一种用电装置,用电装置包括上述电池,电池用于向用电装置提供电能。

为提高锂电池的安全性能,锂电池主要采用刻痕、焊防爆膜等方式作为防爆装置。具体的,当电池升温电池内部气体膨胀、压力增大到一定程度时刻痕或者防爆膜脱焊、破裂,放气泄压,从而避免电池爆炸,从而提高锂电池的安全性能。而锂电池防爆装置结构上要做到充分的一致性较为困难,并且这种防爆装置放气泄压的启动压力值大,这样在电池发生异常情况下不能立即放气泄压,导致锂电池发生爆炸。此外,当需要对锂电池的内部进行维护时,需要将电池壳体拆开,维护过程较为繁琐。为解决上述问题,在电池的外壳上设置防爆阀,以提高锂电池的安全性能。
防爆阀是一种可以透气、防水、防爆的汽车零部件配件,目前在新能源电动汽车上应用比较多。汽车锂离子电池防爆阀将防水透气膜与防爆阀功能集为一体,不但具有传统防爆阀的防爆、降低爆破损害功能,同时还具备防水透气功能。
相关技术中,一般防爆阀是靠重力使防爆门封盖于出气口或者在出气口设置防爆片。当电池的内外压差到达一定数值,即电池内压力达到防爆阀的最大承受压力时,电池内压力使防爆阀中的封盖或防爆片打开从而使内部压力及气体排出,降低内外压差。但相关技术中的防爆阀在泄压后,防爆阀内外仍存在一定压力差,这使得防爆阀泄压能力不够高,无法满足对内外压差要求较高的工艺项目的进行,如喷淋等工艺项目,从而导致电池的安全性能不够好。此外,当需要对电池内部进行维护时,需要将防爆阀拆卸下来或将电池的壳体拆开,维护过程较为繁琐,且可能会造成防爆阀的顺坏。
为了解决上述问题,发明人经过深入研究,设计了一种防爆阀,即本申请中的防爆阀,可以提高防爆阀的泄压性能,降低电池出现热失效的概率,从而提高电池的安全性能。在对电池内部进行维护时,可通过控制结构将电池前盖打开,降低电池内部的维护难度。

本申请第一方面的实施例提供了一种防爆阀,如图3至图6所示,防爆阀10包括主体101、与主体101连接的前盖102、导杆103、卡扣结构104及控制结构105。其中,导杆103与主体101连接且置于主体101内。卡扣结构104包括设置于前盖102上的卡爪部1041及设置于导杆103上的卡扣部1042,且卡扣部1042可沿导杆103的轴线方向移动,或卡扣结构104包括设置于前盖102上的卡扣部1042及设置于导杆103上的卡爪部1041,且卡爪部1041可沿导杆103的轴线方向移动,卡扣部1042与卡爪部1041卡接。控制结构105设置于前盖102的远离卡扣结构104的一侧,控制结构105与卡扣结构104连接,用于控制卡爪部1041与卡扣部1042断开连接。
主体101为防爆阀10的主要组成结构,主体101可以为中空结构,导杆103与主体101连接并置于主体101内部,主体101用以为导杆103提供容纳空间。主体101设置于电池壳体32上并电池壳体32固定连接,且主体101与电池3内部连通,由此主体101能够为电池3内的气体提供释放通道。主体101可以大致呈长方体状或圆柱体状等。主体101的材料可以为金属或塑料等,其中主体101的材料及形状可根据实际需求确定,本申请对此不作具体限定。
本申请实施例中,前盖102与主体101连接,且位于主体101远离电池壳体32的一侧。前盖102可以用于对主体101形成的气体通道的一端起密封作用,防止电池3在正常工作时电池3内部与外部连通。前盖102的形状可以与主体101的开口形状相适配,例如当主体101呈长方体状时,前盖102可以为长方形;当主体101呈圆柱体状时,前盖102可以为圆形。
本申请实施例中,卡扣结构104为设置于前盖102及主体101上以连接前盖102及主体101的结构件。卡扣结构104包括相适配且卡接连接的卡爪部1041与卡扣部1042。卡扣部1042及卡爪部1041为分别设置于前盖102及导杆103上,以连接前盖102与导杆103的结构件。具体的,卡爪部1041可设置于前盖102的内侧,相对应的卡扣部1042设置于导杆103靠近前盖102的一侧;卡爪部1041还可设置于导杆103靠近前盖102的一侧,相对应的卡扣部1042设置于前盖102的内侧。其中,当前盖102受到电池内部一定的气体压力时,前盖102打开,即前盖102沿远离主体101的方向移动,前盖102带动卡爪部1041或卡扣部1042移动,从而带动导杆103移动。此外,由于卡扣部1042或卡爪部1041可沿导杆103的轴线方向移动,卡扣部1042或卡爪部1041可以沿背离前盖102的方向移动,当电池3内的压力释放后,卡扣部1042或卡爪部1041能够带动前盖102关闭,即带动前盖102重新与主体101连接。
本申请实施例中,控制结构105为设置于前盖102外侧且与卡扣结构104连接,通过控制卡扣部1042对卡爪部1041的限位情况以使卡爪部1041及卡扣部1042断开连接的结构。其中,控制结构105可以与卡扣部1042或卡爪部1041为一体结构。预设行程与电池内外的压力差相关,也就是与电池3内部在发生热失控前所能承受的最大安全压力相关,因此可根据电池3所能承受的最大安全压力设定预设行程,本申请对预设行程的具体数值不作限定。
本申请实施例中,防爆阀10可以安装于电池的箱体上,且防爆阀10的内部与电池的内部连通。当电池内部气压大于电池外部气压时,前盖102在电池内外压差的作用下向外移动打开,带动卡扣结构104沿导杆103的轴线方向移动,由此,前盖102打开将电池内部的气压释放出去,降低电池的内外压差。电池的内外压差降低后,卡扣结构104带动前盖102后移以使前盖102重新与主体101连接,使电池内部重新处于密封状态。而当电池的内外压差过大时,较大的压差会使前盖102的移动行程较大,使得卡扣结构104在较大的拉力的作用下脱扣,前盖102不再与通过卡扣结构104与主体101连接,此时电池内外连通,使得电池的内外压差接近于零,由此,防爆阀10的泄压性能较强,可以降低电池出现热失效的概率,从而提高电池的安全性能。此外,当需要对电池的内部进行维护时,可通过控制结构105控制卡扣结构104断开连接,使得前盖102能够打开,从而可以对电池内部进行维护,并且当对电池内部的维护完成后,可通过控制结构105使卡扣结构104重新连接,可以在不对防爆阀10造成损坏的情况下,降低电池内部的维护难度。
一些实施例中,如图6所示,卡爪部1041设置于前盖102上,控制结构105与卡爪部1041连接。卡爪部1041包括相对设置的第一卡钩10411和第二卡钩10412,第一卡钩10411包括位于前盖102靠近主体101的一侧的第一端a,以及位于前盖102远离主体101的一侧的第二端b,第二卡钩10412包括位于前盖102靠近主体101的一侧的第三端c,以及位于前盖102远离主体101的第四端d。控制结构105包括第二端b及第四端d,且沿垂直于导杆103的轴线方向,第二端b与第四端d之间的距离可调。
本申请实施例中,第一卡钩10411和第二卡钩10412均为卡爪部1041的主要组成部分,如图6所示,第一卡钩10411及第二卡钩10412的至少一端弯折形成弯钩部。第一卡钩10411及第二卡钩10412相对设置也就是,第一卡钩10411及第二卡钩10412的至少一端沿相对的方向弯折形成弯钩部,具体的,如图5和图6所示,第一端a及第三端c沿相对的方向弯折形成弯钩部。第一卡钩10411及第二卡钩10412的弯钩部形成容纳空间,且第一卡钩10411及第二卡钩10412的弯钩部与卡扣部1042卡接,以使卡扣部1042的至少部分结构位于第一卡钩10411及第二卡钩10412形成的容纳空间内,从而连接卡爪部1041及卡扣部1042。
如图5和图6所示,第一卡钩10411的第二端b穿过前盖102置于前盖102的外侧。第二卡钩10412的第四端d也穿过前盖102并置于前盖102的外侧。控制结构105包括第二端b及第四端d。其中,第一卡钩10411的第一端a及第二端b可以为一体结构,第二卡钩10412的第三端c及第四端d也可以为一体结构。由此,通过控制第二端b及第四端d之间的距离,可改变第一端a与第三端c之间的距离,从而改变由第一端a及第三端c共同形成的容纳空间的大小。具体的,当控制第二端b与第四端d互相靠近时,第二端b与第四端d之间的距离减小,此时第一端a及第三端c沿相远离的方向移动,使得第一端a及第三端c之间的距离加大,使得由第一端a及第三端c共同形成的容纳空间的体积增大,基于此,卡扣部1042可由容纳空间内脱离,从而可以与第一卡钩10411及第二卡钩10412断开连接,即与卡爪部1041断开连接。当控制第二端b与第四端d互相远离时,第二端b与第四端d之间的距离增加,此时第一端a及第三端c沿相靠近的方向移动,使得第一端a及第三端c之间的距离减小,使得由第一端a及第三端c共同形成的容纳空间的体积减小,基于此,第一端a及第三端c可重新对卡扣部1042进行限位,卡扣部1042可以与第一卡钩10411及第二卡钩10412重新连接,即与卡爪部1041重新连接。
进一步的,第一卡钩10411及第二卡钩10412可以为弹性材质,如弹性金属或塑料等。当第一卡钩10411及第二卡钩10412为弹性材质时,施加于第二端b及第四端d上的压力去除时,第二端b及第四端d可通过自身的弹力反弹复位,便于第一卡钩10411及第二卡钩10412与卡扣部1042重新连接。
进一步的,如图3、图4及图6所示,第二端b及第四端d可沿相反的方向弯折形成弯折部,从而便于第二端b及第四端d的按压,从而便于通过调整第二端b及第四端d之间的距离以调整卡爪部1041及卡扣部1042之间的连接状态。
本申请实施例中,由于第一卡钩10411的第二端b及第二卡钩10412的第四端d穿过前盖102置于前盖102外侧,控制结构105通过调整第二端b及第四端d之间的距离便可以调整第三端c及第一端a之间的距离,从而使得卡爪部1041及卡扣部1042可重复连接或断开连接。因此当需要对电池内部进行维护时,通过控制结构105减小第二端b及第四端d之间的距离即可使卡扣部1042脱扣,使得前盖102与主体101之间不再通过卡扣结构104连接,前盖102打开,可以对电池内部进行维护。且当维护完成后,通过控制结构105增大第二端b及第四端d之间的距离即可使卡扣部1042重新与卡爪部1041连接,可以在不对防爆阀10造成损坏的情况下,降低电池内部的维护难度。
一些实施例中,防爆阀10还包括固定壳体106,固定壳体106位于前盖102远离主体101的一侧,卡爪部1041的位于前盖102的远离主体101的部分结构置于固定壳体106内,且第二端b与第四端d朝向相反的方向弯折以伸出固定壳体106。
本申请实施例中,如图4及图5所示,固定壳体106设置于前盖102外侧,且固定壳体106为中空结构以包裹住卡爪部1041的位于前盖102外侧的部分结构。固定壳体106的形状可以为长方体或圆柱体等,本申请对此不作具体限定。固定壳体106的材料可以为金属、塑料或橡胶等,本申请对此也不做具体限定。当固定壳体106及前盖102的材料均为塑料时,固定壳体106与且前盖102可以为一体注塑成型。
本申请实施例中,固定壳体106用于对卡爪部1041置于前盖102外侧的部分结构进行保护,降低卡爪部1041置于前盖102外侧的部分结构损坏的概率。此外,由于第二端b及第四端d沿相反的方向弯折并穿过固定壳体106的侧壁置于固定壳体106外,因此当对第二端b及第四端d进行按压时,沿竖直方向上固定壳体106的高度即为第二端b与第四端d之间的最短距离,也就是,固定壳体106限制了第二端b与第四端d沿之间可调节的距离范围,降低了因第二端b及第四端d因过度调节而造成第一卡钩10411或第二卡钩10412发生弯折等损坏的概率。
一些实施例中,如图7和图8所示,卡扣部1042设置于前盖102上,控制结构105与卡扣部1042连接。卡爪部1041包括相对设置的第三卡钩10413及第四卡钩10414,且第三卡钩10413及第四卡钩10414间具有间隙。卡扣部1042与第三卡钩10413及第四卡钩10414卡接,控制结构105用于控制卡扣部1042旋转,以使卡扣部1042置于间隙内并与第三卡钩10413及第四卡钩10414断开连接。
本申请实施例中,第三卡钩10413和第四卡钩10414均为卡爪部1041的主要组成部分,如图7所示,第三卡钩10413和第四卡钩10414的至少一端弯折形成弯钩部,且第三卡钩10413与第四卡钩10414的弯钩部之间具有间隙。如图7所示,第三卡钩10413及第四卡钩10414分别与卡扣部1042连接,以连接前盖102与主体101。
本申请实施例中,如图7和图8所示,卡扣部1042沿竖直方向上的高度与沿水平方向上的厚度可以不同,且竖直方向为垂直于导杆103的轴线的方向,水平方向为平行于导杆103的轴线方向。此外,卡扣部1042的高度大于沿第一方向第三卡钩10413与第四卡钩10414之间的间隙高度,因此第三卡钩10413及第四卡钩10414可分别卡接与卡扣部1042的上下两侧以对卡扣部1042进行限位,如图7所示,从而连接卡爪部1041及卡扣部1042。此外,卡扣部1042沿第二方向上的厚度小于沿第一方向第三卡钩10413与第四卡钩10414之间的间隙高度,由此,当通过控制结构105控制卡扣部1042转动一定角度,如转动90度时,卡扣部1042可置于第三卡钩10413与第四卡钩10414之间的间隙内,如图8所示,此时第三卡钩10413与第四卡钩10414不再对卡扣部1042进行限位,卡扣部1042与卡爪部1041断开连接。
本申请实施例中,控制结构105通过旋转卡扣部1042,从而使得卡扣部1042与卡爪部1041卡接,或使卡扣部1042置于第三卡钩10413与第四卡钩10414之间的间隙内以与第三卡钩10413及第四卡钩10414断开连接。因此当需要对电池内部进行维护时,通过控制结构105转动卡扣部1042可使卡扣部1042脱扣,使得前盖102与主体101之间不再通过卡扣结构104连接,前盖102打开,可以对电池内部进行维护。且当维护完成后,通过转动卡扣部1042使其复位便可使卡扣部1042重新与卡爪部1041连接,可以在不对防爆阀10造成损坏的情况下,降低电池内部的维护难度。
一些实施例中,导杆103包括第一部段1031和与第一部段1031连接的第二部段1032,第一部段1031可沿自身的轴线方向移动,卡爪部1041或卡扣部1042设置于第一部段1031的远离第二部段1032的一侧。防爆阀10还包括弹性元件107,弹性元件107与第一部段1031及第二部段1032连接,且弹性元件107套接于第一部段1031的外侧。
本申请实施例中,请参照图6,导杆103呈阶梯轴状,且导杆103包括呈圆柱段状的第一部段1031及第二部段1032。第一部段1031可沿自身的轴线方向移动,第二部段1032与主体101固定连接,卡扣部1042或卡爪部1041设置于第一部段1031的远离第二部段1032的一侧。具体的,如图7所示,第二部段1032呈中空状,第一部段1031在沿自身轴线移动时,第一部段1031的部分结构置于第二部段1032内,且第一部段1031的部分结构可在第二部段1032沿轴线方向移动。
弹性元件107可以为弹簧等具有弹性的结构件,弹簧包括圆柱形弹簧或塔形弹簧。弹性元件107的一端与第二部段1032固定连接,另一端与第一部段1031上靠近卡扣部1042或卡爪部1041的一侧连接,弹性元件107可通过自身的弹力及回弹力带动与其连接的第一部段1031沿自身轴线方向移动。
本申请实施例的技术方案中,当前盖102受到电池3内部压力形成的冲击力时,前盖102带动卡扣部1042或卡爪部1041及第一部段1031沿导杆103的轴线方向移动,弹性元件107处于拉伸状态,此时前盖102打开且电池3内部的高压气体由前盖102排出。当电池完成泄压后,弹性元件107回弹,弹性元件107的回弹力带动卡扣部1042或卡爪部1041朝向主体101移动,从而带动前盖102朝向主体101移动以使前盖102重新与主体101连接。此外,当前盖102与主体101连接时,前盖102在弹簧的拉力作用下与主体101紧密接触,保证防爆阀10的密封性。此外,弹性元件107还用于在第一部段1031沿自身的轴线方向移动的过程中起缓冲作用。
一些实施例中,主体101和前盖102铰接连接。
本申请实施例的技术方案中,主体101和前盖102铰接连接,可以使前盖102相对于主体101转动一定角度。如图5所示,前盖102包括与主体101上方连接的第一侧1021及与第一侧1021相对的第二侧1022,当电池内压力高于外部压力时,内外压差使前盖102以铰接件的中心线为轴线相对于主体101转动,即前盖102的第一侧1021仍与主体101连接且第二侧1022朝向远离主体101的方向移动。由此,内外压差使得前盖102在第二侧1022处形成开口,且开口方向远离第一侧1021。
本申请实施例中,当防爆阀10安装于电池壳体的侧壁上时,可使前盖102的第一侧1021靠近壳体底壁设置,由此当前盖102开启时,前盖102的开口朝下,从而实现对前盖102打开的角度和方向的控制,使得电池内的高压气体向下排放,降低由防爆阀10排出的高压气体对电池内其他电器件的影响,使防爆阀10可以更好的泄压。
本申请实施例中,当电池内外压差较大时,较大的压差使卡扣结构104中卡扣部1042及卡爪部1041断开连接,前盖102与主体101不再通过卡扣结构104连接,而前盖102的第一侧1021仍与主体101铰接,使得前盖102不与主体101完全脱离的同时电池的内外连通,从而使得电池内外压差接近于零。
一些实施例中,主体101包括与前盖102铰接的第一侧壁1011,以及与第一侧壁1011相对设置的第二侧壁1012,导杆103相对于第一侧壁1011更加靠近第二侧壁1012设置。
请参照图3、图4和图7,第一侧壁1011和第二侧壁1012设置于主体101上,因导杆103相对于第一侧壁1011更加靠近第二侧壁1012设置,所以与导杆103上的卡爪部1041或卡扣部1042也相对于第一侧壁1011更加靠近第二侧壁1012设置。
本申请实施例的技术方案中,导杆103中第一部段1031在自身轴线方向上的移动行程不变时,导杆103在主体101内的位置影响前盖102上侧的开启角度。具体的,当导杆103由中间位置朝向第二侧壁1012移动过程中,导杆103的第一部段1031的移动距离稳定时,前盖102的位于导杆103上侧的部分与主体101间的夹角逐渐减小。由此,将导杆103设置于更加靠近第二侧壁1012的位置,可减小前盖102位于导杆103上方的部分与主体101间的夹角角度,使得电池内的气体更多的由前盖102的位于导杆103下方的开口排出,从而使得电池内的高压气体更多的向下排放,进一步降低由防爆阀10排出的高压气体对电池内其他电器件的影响。
一些实施例中,防爆阀10还包括第一密封件108及第二密封件109。第一密封件108位于前盖102与主体101之间。第二密封件109位于主体101的远离前盖102的一侧。
第一密封件108位于前盖102与主体101之间,第二密封件109位于主体101和电池壳体之间。第一密封件108和第二密封件109可以为同种结构和/或材料的密封件。例如,第一密封件108和第二密封件109可以为密封胶条,且密封胶条可以分别围绕主体101与前盖102和电池壳体连接的两侧表面的边缘设置。第一密封件108和第二密封件109也可以为密封框,且密封框的形状和尺寸与主体101的形状和尺寸相对应。
本申请实施例的技术方案中,第一密封件108和第二密封件109可以增加防爆阀10的气密性,防止电池内的气体泄露或外部气体进入电池内部,降低电池失效的概率。
根据本申请的一些实施例,第一密封件108及第二密封件109为橡胶件或塑料件。
本申请实施例中,当第一密封件108及第二密封件109为橡胶件时,可以提高防爆阀10内部的密闭性,且密封件不易老化,使用寿命较长。当第一密封件108及第二密封件109为塑料件时,第一密封件108及第二密封件109的形状和尺寸可根据主体101形状和尺寸变化,且加工工艺简单,成本较低。
本申请第二方面的实施例提供了一种电池,电池括上述第一方面的实施例中的防爆阀10,防爆阀10设置于电池的壳体上。
本申请实施例提供的电池壳体上的防爆阀10中,防爆阀10可以安装于电池的箱体上,且防爆阀10的内部与电池的内部连通。当电池内部气压大于电池外部气压时,前盖102在电池内外压差的作用下向外移动打开,带动卡扣结构104沿导杆103的轴线方向移动,由此,前盖102打开将电池内部的气压释放出去,降低电池的内外压差。电池的内外压差降低后,卡扣结构104带动前盖102后移以使前盖102重新与主体101连接,使电池内部重新处于密封状态。而当电池的内外压差过大时,较大的压差会使前盖102的移动行程较大,使得卡扣结构104在较大的拉力的作用下脱扣,前盖102不再与通过卡扣结构104与主体101连接,此时电池内外连通,使得电池的内外压差接近于零,由此,防爆阀10的泄压性能较强,可以降低电池出现热失效的概率,从而提高电池的安全性能。此外,当需要对电池的内部进行维护时,可通过控制结构105控制卡扣结构104断开连接,使得前盖102能够打开,从而可以对电池内部进行维护,并且当对电池内部的维护完成后,可通过控制结构105使卡扣结构104重新连接,可以在不对防爆阀10造成损坏的情况下,降低电池内部的维护难度。
本申请第三方面的实施例提供了一种用电装置,用电装置包括上述第二方面的实施例中的电池,电池用于向用电装置提供电能。
本申请实施例的用电装置中,由于用电装置包括上述电池,故用电装置具有上述电池的所有优点。用电装置可以是前述任一应用电池的设备或系统。
