目前,从市场形势的发展来看,动力电池的应用越发广泛。动力电池不仅被应用于水力、火力、风力和太阳能电站等储能电源系统,而且还被广泛应用于电动自行车、电动摩托车、电动汽车等电动交通工具,以及军事装备和航空航天等多个领域。随着动力电池应用领域的不断扩大,其市场的需求量也在不断地扩增。
电池由于过充、过放、短路及高温存储等原因,电池内部电池单体易发生鼓胀现象。随着电池的充放电循环中正极活性物质和负极活性物质嵌入或脱出离子,电池单体体系副反应堆积厚度及石墨片层剥离等导致电池单体会发生鼓胀。电池单体为电池的重要组成部分,电池单体鼓胀对电池的性能及使用寿命有不利影响。电池单体堆叠构成电池模组时,相邻电池单体的大面贴紧设置,电池模组中电池单体过度鼓胀时,将会引起电池失效甚至爆炸现象,影响电池的安全性能。
基于以上考虑,为了解决电池单体在使用过程中因为过充、过放、短路及高温存储等原因引起电池单体鼓胀,从而导致电池的性能及使用寿命降低,电池单体过度鼓胀导致电池失效或爆炸等问题。发明人经过深入研究,设计了一种电池,通过在电池内设置至少一个固定带,并将至少一个固定带与电池模组固定连接,当电池单体发生鼓胀等现象而导致电池模组内电池单体产生位移时,至少一个固定带能够对电池模组进行约束,降低电池因过度鼓胀发生爆炸等安全问题的概率,提高电池的安全性能。
本申请实施例公开的电池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电池组成该用电装置的电源系统,这样,有利于降低电池因过度鼓胀发生爆炸等安全问题的概率,提高电池的安全性能。
本申请实施例提供一种使用电池作为电源的用电装置,用电装置可以是手机、便携式设备、笔记本电脑、电瓶车、电动汽车、轮船、航天器、电动玩具和电动工具等,例如,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。
以下实施例为了方便说明,以本申请一实施例的一种用电装置为车辆为例进行说明。
本申请实施例描述的电池不仅仅局限适用于上述所描述的用电装置,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汽车为例进行说明。
例如,如图1所示,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的内部可以设置电池2、控制器3以及马达4,控制器3用来控制电池2为马达4的供电。例如,在车辆1的底部或车头或车尾可以设置电池2。电池2可以用于车辆1的供电,例如,电池2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2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。
本申请第一方面提供了一种电池模组,如图1、图2和图3所示,电池模组包括电池2、线束隔离板8和至少一个固定带810。电池2包括至少一个电池单体6;线束隔离板8与至少一个电池单体6电连接;至少一个固定带810设置于线束隔离板8上,且至少一个固定带810沿第一方向X延伸,至少一个固定带810的两端分别与电池2沿第一方向X上的两侧固定连接,第一方向X为至少一个电池单体6的厚度方向。
如图1和图2所示,电池2可以为由一个或多个电池单体6连接形成的模块结构。如图2和图3所示,电池2可以包括沿电池单体6的厚度方向堆叠设置的多个电池单体6。其中,多个电池单体6之间可串联或并联或混联,混联是指多个电池单体6中既有串联又有并联。电池单体6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等,但不局限于此。其中,电池单体6可呈圆柱体、扁平体、长方体或其它形状等。如图3所示,电池单体6包括极柱结构610,极柱结构610为能够将电池单体6内的正负电极引出的导电件。
进一步的,如图3所示,线束隔离板8上还可以设置有巴片820、输出极巴片和柔性电路板830。具体的,巴片820与电池单体6上的极柱 结构610电连接。线束隔离板8还可以用于电池采样线的安装与固定,其中,电池采样线为用于采集各个电池单体6的电流及电压等电信号的导线。此外,线束隔离板8还可以用于电池2的导气及排气。
本申请实施例中,如图3所示,第一方向X为电池单体6的厚度方向,也就是多个电池单体6堆叠设置时的堆叠方向。固定带810设置于线束隔离板8上,且固定带810沿第一方向X延伸。如图5所示,固定带810的两端朝向电池2弯折并与电池2的两侧固定连接。因此固定带810可以对电池2两侧进行约束,降低其产生过度鼓胀的概率。其中,固定带810、巴片820、输出极巴片和柔性电路板830等部件可以通过热铆接工艺与线束隔离板8连接固定。
本申请实施例提供的电池模组中,如图3所示,线束隔离板8上设置有固定带810且固定带810的两端与电池2沿第一方向X上的两侧固定连接。固定带810可以为电池2提供沿第一方向X上的约束力,也就是为电池2中包括的多个电池单体6提供沿第一方向X上的约束力,即约束多个电池单体6沿第一方向X上的两个大面。因此,固定带810可以在电池单体6发生鼓胀时,对电池单体6鼓胀程度较大的两个大面进行约束,减小多个电池单体6因鼓胀等现象导致的沿第一方向X上产生的位移,降低电池单体6发生过度鼓胀等现象的概率,从而降低电池2发生过度鼓胀等现象的概率,进而提高电池2的安全性能,降低电池2因为电池单体6过度鼓胀而发生热失效的概率,降低安全隐患。
此外,当固定带810限制电池2中电池单体6沿厚度方向上产生过度鼓胀现象时,电池单体6的主要鼓胀力产生方向会由电池单体6的厚度方向变换为电池单体6的高度方向。且电池单体6的顶盖上可以设置有防爆透气阀,因此电池单体6内产生的高压气体可更多的经由防爆透气阀排出,实现电池2的透气和泄压,进一步降低电池2的鼓胀程度,提高电池 2的安全性能。此外,线束隔离板8覆盖于电池2的上端且与固定带810固定连接,不但可以增加固定带810与电池2的连接紧固性,而且线束隔离板8也具有一定的导气、排气等功能,从而能够降低电池单体6出现过度鼓胀的概率,进一步提高电池2的安全性能。
进一步的,如图2所示,电池2还可以包括电池箱体5,多个电池单体6容纳于电池箱体5内。其中,电池箱体5用于为电池单体6或多个电池单体6构成的电池模块提供容纳空间。具体的,多个电池单体6之间可直接串联或并联或混联在一起,然后置于电池箱体5内。多个电池单体6也可以先串联或并联或混联组成一个或多个电池模块,然后将电池模块一并容纳于箱体5内。电池箱体5可以采用多种结构。
进一步的,如图2所示,电池箱体5可以包括第一部分51和第二部分52,第一部分51与第二部分52相互盖合,第一部分51和第二部分52共同限定出用于容纳电池单体6的容纳空间。第一部分51可以为一端开口的空心结构,第二部分52可以为板状结构,第二部分52盖合于第一部分51的开口侧,以使第一部分51与第二部分52共同限定出容纳空间。第一部分51和第二部分52也可以是均为一侧开口的空心结构,第二部分52的开口侧盖合于第一部分51的开口侧。当然,第一部分51和第二部分52形成的电池箱体5可以是多种形状,比如,圆柱体、长方体等。此外,电池2还可以包括其他结构,例如汇流部件等,本申请对此不作限定。
在一些实施例中,如图3、图4和图5所示,电池2包括端板710,端板710设置于至少一个电池单体6沿第一方向X上的至少一侧,至少一个固定带810与端板710固定连接。
本申请实施例中,如图3所示,端板710为设置于电池2沿第一方向X上的一侧或两侧以对电池2内的电池单体6进行固定的结构件。具体的,如图3所示,电池2可以包括两个端板710,两个端板710相对设 置,分别与至少一个电池单体6沿第一方向X上的两侧侧面接触,以固定至少一个电池单体6,降低至少一个电池单体6在电池箱体5内移动从而影响电池2的性能和安全性的概率。如图5所示,由于端板710位于电池2的两侧,至少一个固定带810的两端可以与两个端板710固定连接,以通过端板710与电池2的两侧固定连接。端板710与固定带810的两端的连接方式包括锁付连接。具体的,端板710上设置有螺纹孔,端板710通过螺栓与至少一个固定带810锁付连接,连接紧固性较高。此外,端板710与固定带810的两端的连接方式还包括卡扣连接等,本申请对此不作限定。
本申请实施例中,如图5所示,至少一个固定带810的两端与电池2沿第一方向X上的两侧上的端板710固定连接,可以为电池2提供沿第一方向X上的约束力。固定带810可以在电池单体6发生鼓胀时,对电池单体6鼓胀程度较大的两个大面进行约束,减小多个电池单体6因鼓胀等现象导致的沿第一方向X上产生的位移,降低电池单体6发生过度鼓胀等现象的概率,从而降低电池2发生过度鼓胀等现象的概率,进而提高电池2的安全性能,降低电池2因为电池单体6过度鼓胀而发生热失效的概率,降低安全隐患。
在一些实施例中,如图6所示,至少一个固定带810的靠近至少一个电池单体6的一侧具有凸起结构8110。
本申请实施例中,如图6所示,凸起结构8110设置于至少一个固定带810的靠近至少一个电池单体6的一侧。凸起结构8110包括但不限于矩形凸起、弧形凸起等。此外,凸起结构8110还可以通过朝向电池单体6的方向对固定带810进行冲压形成。其中,凸起结构8110的尺寸可沿实际需求设置,具体的,凸起结构8110沿第一方向X上的长度可根据沿第一方向X相邻设置的两个电池单体6间的距离设置。此外,凸起结构8110 的宽度可根据至少一个固定带810的宽度设置,凸起结构8110的高度可根据线束隔离板8与电池单体6之间的距离高度设置。进一步的,固定带810上可以设置有间隔分布的多个凸起结构8110,且多个凸起结构8110的数量可根据电池单体6的数量确定,本申请对此不作限定。
本申请实施例中,在固定带810上设置凸起结构8110,使得固定带810上设有凸起结构8110的位置的厚度大于其他位置的厚度。因此若电池单体6产生鼓胀现象而使固定带810沿第一方向X张紧时,凸起结构8110能够向位于固定带810下方的多个电池单体6提供一个向下的压紧力,增强固定带810对电池2产生的约束力。
在一些实施例中,如图3、图5和图6所示,至少一个电池单体6靠近至少一个固定带810的一侧具有极柱结构610,沿垂直于线束隔离板8的方向,凸起结构8110的投影与极柱结构610的投影不交叠。
本申请实施例中,如图3所示,极柱结构610也可称为电池单体6的电极端子,极柱结构610为用于将电池单体6内的正、负电极引出的导电件,极柱结构610设置于电池单体6的靠近线束隔离板8的一侧顶面上。极柱结构610可以包括正极柱和负极柱。极柱结构610一端可以与线束隔离板8连接,另一端可以与外部导体连接,或与电池2中相邻的电池单体6的一极连接。具体的,如图7所示,线束隔离板8上集成有多个巴片820,且多个巴片820的位置可以与电池单体6的极柱结构610相对应。极柱结构610可以与巴片820电连接以通过巴片820传输电流。
本申请实施例中,沿垂直于线束隔离板8的方向,凸起结构8110的投影与极柱结构610的投影不交叠,也就是,当电池单体6膨胀而导致极柱结构610朝向固定带810的方向移动时,凸起结构8110不会与极柱结构610接触,因此可以降低凸起结构8110对极柱结构610的影响,降低凸起结构8110对电池单体6的电连接性能的影响。
在一些实施例中,如图3、图5和图6所示,至少一个电池单体6的靠近至少一个固定带810的一侧具有防爆阀620,沿垂直于线束隔离板8的方向,凸起结构8110的投影与防爆阀620的投影不交叠。
本申请实施例中,如图3所示,防爆阀620设置于极柱结构610的正负极极柱之间,即设置于电池单体6的大致中间位置。防爆阀620是一种具有透气、防水、防爆性能的电池2配件。防爆阀620能够在电池2内气压较大时,即电池2内外压差较大时开启,以对电池2进行排气和泄压,降低电池2出现热失效的概率,提高电池2的安全性能。沿垂直于线束隔离板8的方向,凸起结构8110的投影与防爆阀620的投影不交叠。
本申请实施例中,当电池2内具有沿第一方向X排列的一列电池单体6时,凸起结构8110可以位于极柱结构610中正极柱或负极柱与防爆阀620之间,或极柱结构610远离防爆阀620的一侧(电池单体肩部6110)。当电池2内具有沿第一方向X排列的两列电池单体6,且两列电池单体6沿第二方向Y并排设置时,凸起结构8110可以位于沿第一方向X并排设置的两个电池单体6的相靠近的极柱结构610之间,即相靠近的两个电池单体肩部6110之间。电池单体6膨胀而导致极柱结构610朝向固定带810的方向移动时,凸起结构8110不会与极柱结构610和防爆阀620接触。
本申请实施例中,凸起结构8110的投影与防爆阀620的投影不交叠,凸起结构8110不会挤压防爆阀620导致防爆阀620无法正常开启,能够降低凸起结构8110对电池单体6的防爆阀620的影响,降低对电池单体6的防爆、透气和泄压性能的影响。
在一些实施例中,如图3、图5和图6所示,凸起结构8110与电池单体6靠近至少一个固定带810的一侧抵接。
本申请实施例中,凸起结构8110设置于固定带810上下方,凸起 结构8110可以与固定带810下方的至少一个电池单体6抵接。具体的,凸起结构8110可以与电池单体肩部6110抵接,电池单体肩部6110为电池单体6顶面的两个极柱结构610相远离的两侧区域。并且,凸起结构8110也可以与防爆阀620和极柱结构610之间的区域抵接。凸起结构8110与至少一个电池单体6抵接,可以在电池单体6产生鼓胀现象、使至少一个固定带810沿第一方向X张紧时,固定带810直接与至少一个电池单体6接触,固定带810向电池单体6提供一个更大的、向下的压紧力,进一步增强固定带810对电池2产生的约束力
本申请实施例中,如图3所示,电池2与线束隔离板8固定连接,连接方式包括焊接。当电池单体6鼓胀导致电池单体6间产生间隙,从而引起电池2内产生位移时,位移会对焊接连接形成的焊缝和线束隔离板8上与极柱结构610电连接的巴片820产生应力,极易导致巴片820受到的应力过大从而与极柱结构610断开连接,导致电池2部分失效。如图5所示,此时凸起结构8110与至少一个电池单体6抵接,可以将焊缝和巴片820受到的压力分担给凸起结构8110,从而分担至固定带810,由于固定带810自身具有的力学性能,能够承受较大的压力,进而提高电池2的安全性。
进一步的,固定带810还可以与电池单体6胶粘连接,具体的,如图6所示,凸起结构8110与电池单体肩部6110通过胶粘固定连接,此时可以将焊缝和巴片820受到的压力分担给固定带810和胶,进一步提高电池2的安全性能。
本申请实施例中,凸起结构8110与电池单体6靠近至少一个固定带810的一侧抵接,可以在电池单体6产生鼓胀现象时,降低电池单体6间产生的位移对线束隔离板8上与极柱结构610电连接的巴片820施加的应力造成的影响,降低巴片820因为电池单体6发生位移产生的应力过大 而导致电池2失效的概率,提高电池2的电连接性能。
在一些实施例中,至少一个固定带810与线束隔离板8为一体注塑。
本申请实施例中,如图3、图4和图7所示,固定带810沿第二方向Y上的宽度与线束板巴片820的排列情况及巴片820间的空间大小相关,考虑到空间因素,若巴片820宽度较窄,可相应增加固定带810的厚度,以提高固定带810的力学性能。至少一个固定带810设置于线束隔离板8上,至少一个固定带810与线束隔离板8的连接方式包括一体注塑。一体注塑结构既可以降低线束隔离板8和固定带810制造的工艺难度和复杂度,使用方便,还能够增加至少一个固定带810与线束隔离板8之间的连接紧固性,增强至少一条固定带810对电池2沿第一方向X上的约束力,进一步提高电池2的安全性能。
本申请实施例中,至少一个固定带810与线束隔离板8的连接方式还包括焊接连接、锁付连接和胶粘连接等,连接方式可根据具体情况设置,本申请对此不作限定。
在一些实施例中,至少一个固定带810的材料包括金属。
本申请实施例中,可以选择硬度、强度、刚度等力学性能符合装配要求的金属来制造固定带810,例如钢,钢作为合金金属,种类繁多,性能优越且成本较低,可以很好的满足固定带810的抗拉、抗压、抗磨损等功能需求。
本申请实施例中,金属的强度、硬度和刚度等力学性能较好,能够增强至少一个固定带810的使用效果,进而提高电池2的安全性能。
在一些实施例中,如图3和图4所示,电池2包括沿第二方向Y并排设置的至少两个电池单体6,第二方向Y垂直于第一方向X;沿第二方向Y,至少一个固定带810位于沿第二方向Y相邻的两个电池单体6的极 柱结构610之间。
本申请实施例中,如图3所示,第二方向Y垂直于多个电池单体6的堆叠方向,第二方向Y为电池单体6的长度方向。至少一个固定带810设置于沿第二方向Y相邻的两个电池单体6两个极柱结构610之间,具体的,固定带810设置于两个电池单体6的相靠近的两个正极柱或负极柱之间。且固定带810上的凸起结构8110沿第二方向Y上的宽度不大于相靠近的两个正极柱或负极柱之间的距离。
电池2中固定带810的数量可以根据沿第二方向Y相邻设置的电池单体6的数量确定,例如,沿第二方向Y上每相邻两个电池单体6之间可以设置一个固定带810,本申请对此不作限定。
本申请实施例中,在沿第二方向Y并排设置的至少两排电池单体6中,其中一排中相邻设置的两个电池单体6的极柱结构610之间设置至少一个固定带810,不但可以降低至少一个固定带810对极柱结构610的影响,而且能够提高至少一个固定带810对电池2的约束力,降低电池单体6过度鼓胀而导致电池2热失效的概率,进一步提高电池2的安全性能。
本申请第二方面提供了一种用电装置,包括上述中的电池2,电池2用于向用电装置提供电能。
用电装置可以是前述任一应用电池2的设备或系统,因为用电装置包括上述中的电池2,故用电装置具有上述电池2的所有优点。
在本申请实施例提供的用电装置的电池模组中,包括电池2且电池2用于向用电装置提供电能。电池2中的线束隔离板8上设置有固定带810且固定带810的两端与电池2沿第一方向X上的两侧固定连接。固定带810可以为电池2提供沿第一方向X上的约束力,也就是为电池2中包括的多个电池单体6提供沿第一方向X上的约束力,即约束多个电池单体6沿第一方向X上的两个大面。因此,固定带810可以在电池单体6发生鼓 胀时,对电池单体6鼓胀程度较大的两个大面进行约束,减小多个电池单体6因鼓胀等现象导致的沿第一方向X上产生的位移,降低电池单体6发生过度鼓胀等现象的概率,从而降低电池2发生过度鼓胀等现象的概率,进而提高电池2的安全性能,降低电池2因为电池单体6过度鼓胀而发生热失效的概率,降低安全隐患。
最后应说明的是:以上各实施例仅用以说明本申请的技术方案,而非对其限制;尽管参照前述各实施例对本申请进行了详细的说明,本领域的普通技术人员应当理解:其依然可以对前述各实施例所记载的技术方案进行修改,或者对其中部分或者全部技术特征进行等同替换;而这些修改或者替换,并不使相应技术方案的本质脱离本申请各实施例技术方案的范围,其均应涵盖在本申请的权利要求和说明书的范围当中。尤其是,只要不存在结构冲突,各个实施例中所提到的各项技术特征均可以任意方式组合起来。本申请并不局限于文中公开的特定实施例,而是包括落入权利要求的范围内的所有技术方案。
