目前,从市场形势的发展来看,动力电池的应用越加广泛。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。
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。电池一般包括用于容纳电池单体的箱体。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。
本申请的电池可用于用电装置,可为用电装置提供电能,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,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,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。
用电装置还可以是车辆400,例如新能源车辆,新能源车辆可以是纯电动车辆、混合动力车辆或增程式车辆等;或者用电装置也可以是无人机或轮船等。
参考图1,车辆400包括车桥401、连接于车桥401的车轮402、马达403、控制器404和电池300,马达403用于驱动车桥401带动车轮402转动,控制器404用于控制马达403工作,电池300可以设置在车辆400的底部、头部或尾部,用于为马达403以及车辆中其它部件的工作提供电能。
参考图2,电池300包括箱体301、盖体302和至少一个电池单体200。至少一个电池单体200包括两个以上的多个电池单体200,多个电池单体200之间可以串联或并联或混联,混联是指串联和并联的混合。
箱体301和盖体302扣合在一起。例如,箱体301和盖体302均可以为中空长方体且各自只有一个面为开口面,箱体301的开口和盖体302的开口相对设置,并且箱体301和盖体302相互扣合形成具有封闭腔室的箱体。也可以为,箱体301为具有开口的长方体而盖体302为板状,或者盖体302为具有开口的长方体而箱体301为板状,箱体301和盖体302相对设置并扣合而形成具有封闭腔室的箱体。多个电池单体200相互并联或串联或混联组合后,置于箱体301和盖体302扣合后形成的封闭腔室内。
参考图3,每个电池单体200均包括电极组件100、壳体201和端盖组件202,壳体201根据一个或多个电极组件100组合后的形状而定,例如,壳体201可以为中空的长方体或正方体或圆柱体,且壳体201的其中一个面具有一开口以便一个或多个电极组件100放置于壳体201内,例 如,当壳体201为中空的长方体或正方体时,壳体201的其中一个平面为开口面,即该平面不具有壳体壁而使得壳体201内外相通,当壳体201为中空的圆柱体时,壳体201的圆形侧面为开口面,即该圆形侧面不具有壳体壁而使得壳体201内外相通。端盖组件202在壳体201的开口处与壳体201连接形成放置电极组件100的封闭的外壳,且壳体201内填充电解液。
端盖组件202包括端盖202a和两个端子202b,端盖202a基本上是平板形状,两个端子202b位于端盖202a的平板面上且穿过端盖202a的平板面,两个端子202b分别为正极端子和负极端子。
端盖202a的平板面上还可设置防爆阀202c,该防爆阀202c可以为端盖202a的平板面的一部分,也可以与端盖202a的平板面焊接。当电池300产生的气体太多时,气体发生膨胀使外壳内的气压升高至超出预设值时,防爆阀202c裂开而导致外壳内外相通,气体通过防爆阀202c的裂开处向外释放,进而避免发生爆炸。
电极组件100包括多个并排设置且相互电连接的电芯101和极耳组件103,极耳组件103与端子202b连接。极耳组件103是多个电芯101的极耳折叠而成。
电芯101包括极片和隔离膜,其中,极片包括阳极片和阴极片。阳极片和阴极片均包括集流体和涂敷层。阳极片活性物质被涂覆于阳极片的集流体形成涂覆层,阴极片活性物质被涂敷于阴极片的集流体形成涂敷层。隔离膜为绝缘体,设置于阳极片与阴极片之间,隔离膜用于将阳极片的涂敷层和阴极片的涂敷层隔开。阳极片、隔离膜及阴极片依次堆叠并卷绕形成电芯101。
由于壳体201采用铝材等金属材料制成,电极组件100放置于壳体201内之前,需要在多个电芯101组成的电芯组的周向侧部和底部包覆绝缘材质制成的绝缘件,以避免电芯101与壳体201接触导致壳体201腐蚀。
发明人发现,虽然电极组件100的电芯组的周向侧部和底部包覆有绝缘件,但在电芯的侧边与底部的拐角位置,电芯101还是易于与壳体 201接触导致壳体201腐蚀,并且为了定位安装绝缘件,绝缘件上需要设置定位孔,而绝缘件在包覆电芯组后,定位孔一般位于电芯组的底部,定位孔中会落下一些极片上的活性物质,导致壳体201与极片搭接,对壳体201产生电化学腐蚀。
基于此,本公开一些实施例提供了一种用于包覆电芯的绝缘件、电极组件、电池单体、电池、用电装置和电极组件的组装方法,通过对绝缘件的自身结构进行改进,使其能够包覆电芯组的周向侧部、底部、侧部与底部的拐角处,以及定位孔等,用于缓解壳体腐蚀的问题。
参考图4,在一些实施例中,用于包覆电芯的绝缘件102包括中间折片3、第一折片1、延伸片4和第二折片2。
中间折片3上设有定位孔31。
第一折片1在第一折线51处与中间折片3连接,第一折片1包括第一主折片11、以及在第三折线53处与第一主折片11连接的侧折片12,第三折线53与第一折线51垂直。
延伸片4在第四折线54处连接于侧折片12靠近中间折片3的一端,第四折线54与第三折线53垂直。
第二折片2在第二折线52处与中间折片3连接,第二折线52平行于第一折线51。
参考图5,其中,中间折片3被配置为包覆电芯101的底部,第一折片1和第二折片2被配置为折叠后包覆电芯101的周向侧部,延伸片4被配置为折叠后完全覆盖定位孔31。
绝缘件102采用绝缘材料制成。可选地,绝缘件102包括聚酯薄膜或聚丙烯膜。
由于电极组件100包括壳体201和一个电芯101或多个电芯101,壳体201采用铝材制成,一个电芯101或多个电芯101如果直接放置于壳体201内,电芯101容易与壳体201接触导致壳体201腐蚀,而如果仅将绝缘件102包覆电芯101的周向侧部和底部,则电芯101的侧部与底部的拐角处还是会存在与壳体201接触、腐蚀壳体201的问题,且电芯101的侧部与底部的拐角处也会掉落极片上的活性物质,导致壳体201与极片搭 接,对壳体201产生电化学腐蚀,再者,为了实现机械化自动化抓取包覆绝缘件102,绝缘件102上还需要设置定位孔31,绝缘件102包覆电芯101后,定位孔31一般位于电芯101的底部,定位孔31中也会掉落极片上的活性物质,导致壳体201与极片搭接,对壳体201产生电化学腐蚀。
基于此,本公开实施例中,绝缘件102的侧折片12连接延伸片4,延伸片4折叠后包覆电芯101的侧部与底部的至少部分拐角,并完全覆盖定位孔31,起到绝缘防护的作用,可以防止电芯101的侧部与底部拐角处,以及定位孔31处的电芯101部位与壳体201接触,且能够接住从电芯101的极片上掉落的活性物质,避免活性物质掉落至壳体201上使壳体201发生电化学腐蚀,且具有保护电芯性能和安全的作用。
再者,本公开实施例中的绝缘件102的中间折片3包覆电芯101的底部,第一折片1和第二折片2折叠后包覆电芯101的周向侧部,因此,本公开实施例提供的绝缘件102能够包覆电芯101的周向侧部、底部以及侧部与底部的拐角区域,且还能包覆自身设置的定位孔31,能够全方位包覆电芯101,避免壳体201发生电化学腐蚀。
在一些实施例中,绝缘件102可以采用一整块绝缘材料裁剪形成,通过将整块完整的绝缘材料通过简单裁剪,即可裁剪出中间折片3以及延伸片4,然后通过沿折线折叠绝缘件102,即可实现对电芯101的全方位包覆,绝缘件102的制备方法简便,防护效果好。
可选地,整块绝缘材料呈方形。
本实施例中的绝缘件102上的各个折线可以是实体的折痕,或者也可以通过在绝缘件102上设置连续的点孔形成折线。
在一些实施例中,延伸片4被配置为沿第四折线54折叠后,在中间折片3的宽度方向上,不超出第一折线51与第二折线52之间的区域。
延伸片4折叠后,在中间折片3的宽度方向上,不超出第一折线51与第二折线52之间的区域,有利于保证电芯101对壳体201内的电解液的吸收。
在延伸片4通过在整块完整的绝缘材料上裁剪形成的情况下,剪裁后形成的延伸片4的宽度小于第一折线51与第二折线52之间的距离,因 此,既不浪费材料,也不会存在冗余的部分从而阻碍包覆完绝缘件102的电芯101装配进壳体,且壳体201内的电解液能够通过延伸片4与第一折线51之间的间隙,以及延伸片4与第二折线52之间的间隙进入电芯101,也有利于保证电芯101对壳体201内的电解液的吸收。
由于延伸片4的宽度小于第一折线51与第二折线52之间的距离,因此,延伸片4折叠后包覆电芯101的侧部与底部的部分拐角,延伸片4与第一折线51之间的间隙,以及延伸片4与第二折线52之间的间隙主要是指延伸片4未包覆的电芯101的侧部与底部的拐角部分。
在一些实施例中,延伸片4被配置为沿第四折线54折叠后,在中间折片3的宽度方向上,与第一折线51之间的距离至少为2mm,以及与第二折线52之间的距离至少为2mm。
延伸片4的最大宽度W比第一折线51与第二折线52之间的距离至少小4mm,对应单边间隙大于等于2mm,且壳体201内的电解液能够通过延伸片4与第一折线51之间的间隙,以及延伸片4与第二折线52之间的间隙进入电芯101,有利于保证电芯101对壳体201内的电解液的吸收。
参考图6d,在一些实施例中,延伸片4被配置为沿第四折线54折叠后,覆盖至少部分电芯101的沿长度方向的端部。
电芯101通过阳极片、隔离膜及阴极片依次堆叠并卷绕形成,定义:电芯101的拐角端部为电芯101的长度方向的端部。电芯101的两个扁平侧面之间的尺寸为电芯101的宽度尺寸,电芯101的两个椭圆形端面之间的尺寸为电芯101的高度尺寸。
电芯101放置在壳体201内后,电芯101的长度方向的端部容易与壳体201接触,且容易掉落活性物质,延伸片4折叠后覆盖电芯101的沿长度方向的端部,能够防止电芯101的长度方向的端部与壳体201接触,且能够接住从电芯101的沿长度方向的端部掉落的活性物质,避免活性物质掉落至壳体201,使壳体201发生电化学腐蚀。
参考图7d和图8d,在一些实施例中,电芯101的数量为多个,延伸片4被配置为沿第四折线54折叠后,覆盖每个电芯101的沿长度方向的端部的至少部分。
电芯101通过阳极片、隔离膜及阴极片依次堆叠并卷绕形成,电芯101的拐角端部为电芯101的长度方向的端部,多个电芯101放置在壳体201内后,电芯101的长度方向的端部容易与壳体201接触,且容易掉落活性物质,延伸片4折叠后覆盖每个电芯101的沿长度方向的端部,能够防止各电芯101的长度方向的端部与壳体201接触,且能够接住从各电芯101的沿长度方向的端部掉落的活性物质,避免活性物质掉落至壳体201,使壳体201发生电化学腐蚀。
无论绝缘件102包覆一个电芯101还是两个以上电芯101,各电芯101的长度方向的端部一般也位于中间折片3的宽度方向的中部区域。延伸片4被配置为沿第四折线54折叠后,位于中间折片3的宽度方向的中部区域,延伸片4能够覆盖各电芯101的沿长度方向的端部。
参考图6a、图6b、图6c和图6d,在一些实施例中,绝缘件102内包覆一个电芯101,延伸片4的宽度小于一个电芯101的宽度,延伸片4折叠后位于中间折片3的宽度方向的中部区域,电芯101的长度方向的端部一般也位于中间折片3的宽度方向的中部区域,可选的,延伸片4的宽度不小于电芯101的宽度的1/2,即W≥(1/2)H,其中,W为延伸片4的宽度,H为单个电芯101的宽度,以覆盖电芯101的沿长度方向的端部。
参考图7a、图7b、图7c和图7d,在一些实施例中,绝缘件102内包覆两个电芯101,延伸片4折叠后位于中间折片3的宽度方向的中部区域,可选的,延伸片4的宽度不小于两个电芯101的总宽度的2/3,即W≥(2/3)2H,其中,W为延伸片4的宽度,H为单个电芯101的宽度。
参考图8a、图8b、图8c和图8d,在一些实施例中,绝缘件102内包覆四个电芯101,延伸片4折叠后位于中间折片3的宽度方向的中部区域,可选的,延伸片4的宽度不小于四个电芯101的总宽度的4/5,即:W≥(4/5)4H,其中,W为延伸片4的宽度,H为单个电芯101的宽度。
在一些实施例中,绝缘件102内包覆n个电芯101,延伸片4折叠后位于中间折片3的宽度方向的中部区域,延伸片4的宽度不小于n个电芯101总宽度的n/(n+1),即W≥(n/(n+1))nH。其中,n为绝缘件102 包覆的电芯101的数量,且n取大于0的整数,W为延伸片4的宽度,H为单个电芯101的宽度。
在一些实施例中,绝缘件102内包覆n个电芯101,延伸片4折叠后位于中间折片3的宽度方向的中部区域,延伸片4的宽度至少要大于n-1个电芯的宽度,其中,n为绝缘件102包覆的电芯101的数量,且n取大于0的整数。
在一些实施例中,定义延伸片4的长度方向垂直于第四折线54,定义延伸片4的长度为L,L不大于第一折线51与第二折线52之间的距离。定义延伸片4的宽度为W。
由于延伸片4折叠后覆盖定位孔31,因此,延伸片4的长度L不大于第一折线51与第二折线52之间的距离,能够为定位孔31的设置位置进行定位。
在延伸片4通过在整块完整的绝缘材料上裁剪形成的情况下,剪裁后形成的延伸片4的长度自然会小于第一折线51与第二折线52之间的距离,因此,为充分利用整块完整的绝缘材料,定位孔31的设置位置应满足延伸片4折叠后覆盖定位孔31的要求。
在一些实施例中,延伸片4的长度L>s+d+x,其中,s为延伸片4沿第四折线54折叠后,定位孔31与第四折线54的最小距离,d为定位孔31的直径,x不小于2mm。
延伸片4的长度L>s+d+x,能够保证延伸片4完整覆盖定位孔31。
在延伸片4通过在整块完整的绝缘材料上裁剪形成的情况下,延伸片的长度L的最大值等于中间折片3的宽度。
在一些实施例中,侧折片12包括第一侧折片12a和第二侧折片12b,第一主折片11的第一侧和第二侧均具有第三折线53。
第一侧折片12a在第一主折片11的第一侧的第三折线53处与第一主折片11连接。

在第一主折片11的两侧分别设置第一侧折片12a和第二侧折片12b,第一侧折片12a和第二侧折片12b用于包覆电芯101的长度方向的两端侧部。第一侧折片12a连接第一延伸片41,第二侧折12b连接第二延伸片42,第一延伸片41和第二延伸片42能够包覆电芯101两端侧部与底部的拐角,且为了绝缘件102包覆电芯101时,机械设备自动抓取绝缘件102,且利于操作包覆绝缘件102,绝缘件102上设置两个定位孔31,第一延伸片41和第二延伸片42能够分别覆盖一个定位孔31,实现对电芯101的全方位包覆。
在一些实施例中,第二折片2包括第二主折片21、以及在第五折线55处与第二主折片21连接的搭接片22,搭接片22和侧折片12被配置为折叠后相互搭接,第五折线55垂直于第二折线52。
