背景技术
化学电池、电化电池、电化学电池或电化学池是指通过氧化还原反应,把正极、负极活性物质的化学能,转化为电能的一类装置。与普通氧化还原反应不同的是氧化和还原反应是分开进行的,氧化在负极,还原在正极,而电子得失是通过外部线路进行的,所以形成了电流。这是所有电池的本质特点。经过长期的研究、发展,化学电池迎来了品种繁多,应用广泛的局面。大到一座建筑方能容纳得下的巨大装置,小到以毫米计的类型。现代电子技术的发展,对化学电池提出了很高的要求。每一次化学电池技术的突破,都带来了电子设备革命性的发展。世界上很多电化学科学家,都把研发兴趣集中在做为电动汽车动力的化学电池领域。
锂离子电池作为化学电池的一种,具有体积小、能量密度高、功率密度高、循环使用次数多和存储时间长等优点,在一些电子设备、电动交通工具、电动玩具和电动设备上得到了广泛应用,例如,锂离子电池目前广泛地应用于手机、笔记本电脑、电瓶车、电动汽车、电动飞机、电动轮船、电动玩具汽车、电动玩具轮船、电动玩具飞机和电动工具,等等。
锂离子电池的应用包括三个层次:电池单体、电池模块和电池包。随着锂离子电池技术的不断发展,对锂离子电池的性能提出了更高的要求,但是现有的制造技术难以满足要求。

在本申请中,所提及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,本申请中所提及的电池可以包括电池 模块或电池包等。
可充电电池又称二次电池(Secondary Battery)或二级电池、蓄电池。可充电电池的制作材料和工艺与一次性电池不同,其优点是在充电后可多次循环使用,可充电电池的输出电流负荷力要比大部分一次性电池高。目前常见的可充电电池的类型有:铅酸电池、镍氢电池和锂离子电池。锂离子电池具有重量轻、容量大(容量是同重量的镍氢电池的1.5倍~2倍)、无记忆效应等优点,且具有很低的自放电率,因而即使价格相对较高,仍然得到了普遍应用。锂离子电池也用于纯电动车及混合动力车,用于这种用途的锂离子电池容量相对略低,但有较大的输出、充电电流,也有的有较长的寿命,但成本较高。
锂离子电池(指:电池单体)主要依靠锂离子在正极极片和负极极片之间移动来工作。锂离子电池使用一个嵌入的锂化合物作为一个电极材料。目前用作锂离子电池的正极材料主要常见的有:锂钴氧化物(LiCoO2)、锰酸锂(LiMn2O4)、镍酸锂(LiNiO2)及磷酸锂铁(LiFePO4)。正极极片和负极极片之间设置有隔离膜以形成具有三层材料的薄膜结构。该薄膜结构一般通过卷绕或者叠置的方式制成所需形状的电极组件。例如,柱形电池中的三层材料的薄膜结构被卷绕成柱形形状的电极组件,而方形电池中的薄膜结构被卷绕或者叠置成具有大致长方体形状的电极组件。
多个电池单体可经由电极端子而被串联和/或并联在一起以应用于各种应用场合。在一些诸如电动汽车等的大功率应用场合,电池单体的应用包括三个层次:电池单体、电池模块和电池包。本申请中所提到的电池包括电池模块或电池包。电池模块是为了从外部冲击、热、振动等中保护电池,将一定数目的电池电连接在一起并放入一个框架中而形成的。电池包则是装入电动汽车的电池系统的最终状态。目前的大部分电池包是在一个或多个电池模块上装配电池管理系统(BMS)、热管理部件等各种控制和保护系统而制成的。随着技术的发展,电池模块这个层次可以被省略,也即,直接由多个电池单体形成电池。这一改进使得电池的重量能量密度、体积能量密度得到提升的同时零部件数量显著下降。
发明人发现,端盖在和壳体焊接时常常会有爆点及针孔出现,从而直接 影响电池单体的质量,甚至导致电池单体的报废。
发明人经过研究发现,电池单体内部的保护膜(mylar)与绝缘件结合的方式为热熔连接,受温度、压力以及保护膜材质等因素的影响,容易产生保护膜过熔拉丝等问题,过熔拉丝会导致端盖与壳体焊接爆点。
有鉴于此,本申请通过设置第一绝缘件和第二绝缘件扣合包裹电极组件,在组装过程中不需要使用热熔结合方式,避免了热熔连接产生的保护膜过熔拉丝、未熔脱落等现象。
为了更好地理解本申请,下面结合图1至图22对本申请的实施例进行详细描述。
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单体、电池等组成该用电装置的电源系统,这样,有利于提升电池性能和电池的寿命。

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7为例进行说明。
请参照图1,图1为本申请一些实施例提供的车辆7的结构示意图。车辆7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7的内部设置有电池8,电池8可以设置在车辆7的底部或头部或尾部。电池8可以用于车辆7的供电,例如,电池8可以作为车辆7的操作电源。车辆7还可以包括控制器9和马达10,控制器9用来控制电池8为马达10供电,例如,用于车辆7的启动、导航和行驶时的工作用电需求。
在本申请一些实施例中,电池8不仅可以作为车辆7的操作电源,还可以作为车辆7的驱动电源,代替或部分地代替燃油或天然气为车辆7提供驱 动动力。
请参照图2,图2为本申请一些实施例提供的电池8的爆炸示意图。电池8包括箱体12和电池单体11,电池单体11容纳于箱体12内。其中,箱体12用于为电池单体11提供容纳空间,箱体12可以采用多种结构。在一些实施例中,箱体12可以包括上盖1201和下箱体1202,上盖1201与下箱体1202相互盖合,上盖1201和下箱体1202共同限定出用于容纳电池单体11的容纳空间。下箱体1202可以为一端开口的空心结构,上盖1201可以为板状结构,上盖1201盖合于下箱体1202的开口侧,以使上盖1201与下箱体1202共同限定出容纳空间;上盖1201和下箱体1202也可以是均为一侧开口的空心结构,上盖1201的开口侧盖合于下箱体1202的开口侧。当然,上盖1201和下箱体1202形成的箱体12可以是多种形状,比如,圆柱体、长方体等。
在电池8中,电池单体11可以是多个,多个电池单体11之间可串联或并联或混联,混联是指多个电池单体11中既有串联又有并联。多个电池单体11之间可直接串联或并联或混联在一起,再将多个电池单体11构成的整体容纳于箱体12内;当然,电池8也可以是多个电池单体11先串联或并联或混联组成电池模块形式,多个电池模块再串联或并联或混联形成一个整体,并容纳于箱体12内。电池8还可以包括其他结构,例如,该电池8还可以包括汇流部件(图中未示出),用于实现多个电池单体11之间的电连接。
其中,每个电池单体11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,但不局限于此。电池单体11可呈圆柱体、扁平体、长方体或其它形状等。
请参照图3,图3为本申请一些实施例提供的电池单体11的爆炸示意图。电池单体11是指组成电池8的最小单元。如图3,电池单体11包括有端盖1、电极组件3、壳体5以及其他的功能性部件。
端盖1是指盖合于壳体5的开口处以将电池单体11的内部环境隔绝于外部环境的部件。不限地,端盖1的形状可以与壳体5的形状相适应以配合壳体5。可选地,端盖1可以由具有一定硬度和强度的材质(如铝合金)制成,这样,端盖1在受挤压碰撞时就不易发生形变,使电池单体11能够具备更高的结构强度,安全性能也可以有所提高。端盖1上可以设置有电极端子102 等功能性部件。电极端子102可以用于与电极组件3电连接,以用于输出或输入电池单体11的电能。端盖1的材质也可以是多种的,比如,铜、铁、铝、不锈钢、铝合金、塑胶等,本申请实施例对此不作特殊限制。在一些实施例中,在端盖1的内侧还可以设置有绝缘件2,绝缘件2可以用于隔离壳体5内的电连接部件与端盖1,以降低短路的风险。示例性的,绝缘件2可以是塑料、橡胶等。在一些实施例中,在端盖1上还设置有对电芯内部进行监测的接口,通过监测接口对电芯内部状况进行监测。
壳体5是用于配合端盖1以形成电池单体11的内部环境的组件,其中,形成的内部环境可以用于容纳电极组件3、电解液以及其他部件。壳体5和端盖1可以是独立的部件,可以于壳体5上设置开口,通过在开口处使端盖1盖合开口以形成电池单体11的内部环境。不限地,也可以使端盖1和壳体5一体化,具体地,端盖1和壳体5可以在其他部件入壳前先形成一个共同的连接面,当需要封装壳体5的内部时,再使端盖1盖合壳体5。壳体5可以是多种形状和多种尺寸的,例如长方体形、圆柱体形、六棱柱形等。具体地,壳体5的形状可以根据电极组件3的具体形状和尺寸大小来确定。壳体5的材质可以是多种,比如,铜、铁、铝、不锈钢、铝合金、塑胶等,本申请实施例对此不作特殊限制。
电极组件3是电池单体11中浸润于电解液以发生电化学反应的部件。壳体5内可以包含一个或多个电极组件3。电极组件3主要由正极片和负极片卷绕或层叠放置形成,并且通常在正极片与负极片之间设有隔膜。正极片和负极片具有活性物质的部分构成电极组件3的主体部,正极片和负极片不具有活性物质的部分各自构成极耳302。正极极耳和负极极耳可以共同位于主体部301的一端或是分别位于主体部301的两端。在电池单体11的充放电过程中,正极活性物质和负极活性物质与电解液发生反应,极耳302连接电极端子102以形成电流回路。
一些实施例中,相邻的电池单体11的极耳302之间设置有转接部件303,极耳302与电极端子102通过转接部件303连接。
如图3、图4所示,为本申请一实施例的一种电池单体11,包括端盖1和壳体5,端盖1和壳体5形成容纳腔6;电池单体11还包括电极组件3,电 极组件3容纳于容纳腔6内,电极组件3包括主体部301及由主体部301延伸出的极耳302;电池单体11还包括第一绝缘件2,第一绝缘件2设置于端盖1靠近电极组件3的一侧,用于隔离端盖1和电极组件3,电池单体11还包括第二绝缘件4,第二绝缘件4用于套设于主体部301的外周;其中,第一绝缘件2包括背离端盖1延伸的延伸部201,延伸部201与第二绝缘件4在主体部301的外周重叠。
通过将绝缘件采用分体设置,第一绝缘件2和第二绝缘件4从两个方向扣合套装在电极组件3上,在组装过程中不需要使用热熔结合方式,可以避免因为保护膜单方向套装并热熔固定所产生的拉丝、虚焊、脱焊、超高等现象。图3中Z1指示的方向为第一绝缘件2的扣合方向,Z2指示的方向为第二绝缘件4的扣合方向。
延伸部201可以有效防止极耳302与壳体5发生接触,形成绝缘隔离。第一绝缘件2与第二绝缘件4扣合使得组装过程省时省力,加快了电池生产效率。
本实施例中的电池单体11可以是长方体形状、立方体形状,附图中所示为长方体形状。第二绝缘件4在本技术领域中通常称为mylar,为聚酯薄膜。延伸部201的材质与第一绝缘件2的材质相同,或者与第二绝缘件4的材质相同。
在一些实施例中,如图8、图9所示,在延伸部201与第二绝缘件4重叠的位置,延伸部201位于第二绝缘件4的内侧。
为此,需要对延伸部201、第二绝缘件4的尺寸进行适应性设计:第二绝缘件4的内侧宽度大于延伸部201的外侧宽度,第二绝缘件4的内侧长度大于延伸部201的外侧长度。
通过将延伸部201设置于第二绝缘件4的内侧,方便多部件之间的组装,原因是:延伸部201首先需要固定到电极组件3的顶部,和第二绝缘件4组装时,如果延伸部201位于第二绝缘件4的外侧,第二绝缘件4就需要插入到延伸部201与电极组件3的侧壁之间,这种操作不容易进行。
通过将延伸部201设置于第二绝缘件4的内侧,同时方便电极组件3进 入壳体5,如果延伸部201设置于第二绝缘件4的外侧,会阻碍电极组件3进入壳体5。
延伸部201与第二绝缘件4重叠的位置二者之间仍然存在间隙,通过设置间隙,电解液可以通过该间隙进入电极组件3,有利于电极组件3对电解液的吸收、浸润。
在一些实施例中,如图5、图6、图7、图8所示,第一绝缘件2包括隔离部202,隔离部202与端盖1平行,延伸部201与隔离部202一体制成。
隔离部202夹持在端盖1与电极组件3之间。隔离部202包括四个侧边,延伸部201分别与四个侧边固定连接。
通过将延伸部201与隔离部202一体制成,可以简化组装步骤,加快组装效率。
隔离部202对应电极组件3设置有多个透孔,第一透孔206对应电极端子102设置,便于极耳302与电极端子102电连接,第二透孔207对应端盖1上的注液孔101设置,便于通过电解液,第三透孔208对应防爆阀设置。
如图8、图9所示,第二绝缘件4包括侧壁401和底部402,第二绝缘件4整体设计为槽形,方便套装在电极组件3上。侧壁401朝向第一绝缘件2的方向延伸,延伸部201与侧壁401在主体部301的外周重叠。底部402夹持在壳体5与主体部301之间。第二绝缘件4可以采用绝缘膜预制为槽形,直接套在主体部301上,也可以使用片状绝缘膜折叠包裹在主体部301上,并辅助粘接固定,最终构成槽形。
在一些实施例中,如图10所示,延伸部201与隔离部202之间设置有薄弱区2012。薄弱区2012可以是厚度减薄的条状区域,还可以是打孔的易折线。
通过设置薄弱区2012,方便延伸部201折叠,在组装之前延伸部201与隔离部202是展平状态,便于过程装配,如端盖来料转运,极耳与端盖焊接。组装之后再折叠延伸部201,折叠后延伸部201背离端盖1延伸。
在一些实施例中,如图10所示,延伸部201包括四个防护部2011,四个防护部2011分别对应主体部301的四个侧面设置,各防护部2011之间设置有间隙。
通过设置间隙,电解液可以通过该间隙进入电极组件3,有利于电极组件3对电解液的吸收、浸润。
在一些实施例中,如图8、图9所示,主体部301包括削薄区305,削薄区305位于主体部301靠近端盖1的端部,延伸部201与第二绝缘件4重叠的部分位于削薄区305的外周。
通过该设置,即便延伸部201与第二绝缘件4重叠也不会增大主体部301的顶部尺寸,在电极组件3装入壳体5时,能够顺利组装。
在一些实施例中,如图8所示,延伸部2011的高度为H1,主体部301的高度为H2,H1<0.5*H2。
延伸部2011的高度不易过大,这样方便制造和组装电池单体11,第二绝缘件4的高度可以较大。
在一些实施例中,如图11、图12、图13所示,第一绝缘件2包括分体设置的第一部分203和第二部分204,第一部分203设置于第二部分204与端盖1之间,第一部分203平行于端盖1。
通过将第一绝缘件2分体设置成第一部分203和第二部分204,可以利用第二部分204设置延伸部201,即延伸部201单独设置,之后与第一部分203组装,这样更方便制造延伸部201。此时,第二部分204与第二绝缘件4采用相同的材质,例如,均可以采用聚酯薄膜。
第一部分203呈板状,第一部分203对应电极组件3设置有多个透孔,第一透孔206对应电极端子102设置,便于极耳302与电极端子102电连接,第二透孔207对应端盖1上的注液孔101设置,便于通过电解液,第三透孔208对应防爆阀设置。
在一些实施例中,如图13所示,第二部分204包括支撑部205和延伸部201,支撑部205平行于端盖1,延伸部201与支撑部205一体制成。
支撑部205用于将第二部分204固定于电极组件3和端盖1之间,延伸部201可以相对于支撑部205折叠,从而方便制造第一绝缘件2。
支撑部205对应电极组件3设置有多个避让孔,避让孔是对应第一部分203上的多个透孔所设置。具体地,两个第一避让孔209分别对应两个第一透 孔206设置,第二避让孔210对应第二透孔207设置,第三避让孔211对应第三透孔208设置。
在一些实施例中,第一部分203与第二部分204热熔固定。第一部分203与第二部分204之间设置有多个热熔点,多个热熔点分别靠近第一部分203与第二部分204的四个角,既方便实施焊接,又可以保证第一部分203与第二部分204之间的连接强度。
组装电池单体11的操作中,通常是首先将端盖1放置在工作台上,其次是将第一部分203叠加放置在端盖1,然后将第二部分204叠加放置在第一部分203上,在第二部分204与第一部分203对齐之后通过采用热熔固定方式,能够快速实现第一部分203与第二部分204组装。
如图14、图15、图16所示,电池单体11组装之后,端盖1、第一部分203、第二部分204具有依次叠加的顺序。如图17所示,在延伸部201与第二绝缘件4重叠的位置,延伸部201位于第二绝缘件4的内侧。
在一些实施例中,如图18所示,延伸部201与支撑部205之间设置有薄弱区2012。薄弱区2012可以是厚度减薄的条状区域,还可以是打孔的易折线。
通过设置薄弱区2012,方便延伸部201折叠,在组装之前延伸部201与支撑部205是展平状态,便于过程装配,如端盖来料转运,极耳与端盖焊接。组装之后再折叠延伸部201。
在一些实施例中,第一部分203与第二部分204通过第一定位部和第二定位部定位,第一定位部为凸台,凸台朝向第二部分204凸出,第二定位部为孔,凸台与孔的位置相对应。
第一部分203与第二部分204之间可以通过定位部组合,使得在组装时第一部分203、第二部分204可以保持相对位置关系,方便组装,定位之后可以不再对第一部分203与第二部分204实施热熔固定。但是为了保证第一部分203与第二部分204之间的稳定性,也可以对第一部分203与第二部分204继续实施热熔固定,通过第一定位部和第二定位部定位之后更方便实施热熔固定。
在一些实施例中,上述的凸台设置在第二透孔207的位置(图中未示出), 原始目的是防止对电池单体11内部抽真空时第二透孔207堵塞。上述的孔由第二部分204上对应设置的第二避让孔210构成,当第二部分204与第一部分203对齐并叠加放置时,第二避让孔210会套在凸台上,即可实现第一部分203与第二部分204的定位。
上述的凸台和孔均为其他目的所设置的结构,通过这些结构实现第一部分203和第二部分204定位,这些结构增加了新的功能,不需要在第一部分203和第二部分204上单独设置定位机构,简化了电池单体11的结构,降低了制造成本。
在一些实施例中,第一部分203与第二部分204通过第三定位部和第四定位部对齐,第三定位部、第四定位部均为孔,孔的位置相对应。第三定位部由第一部分203上的两个第一透孔206构成,第四定位部由第二部分204上对应设置的两个第一避让孔209构成,当第二部分204叠加放置在第一部分203上时,借助于图像扫描设备例如摄像机,使得第一透孔206与第一避让孔209分别对齐,即可实现第一部分203与第二部分204的对齐。
对第一部分203与第二部分204对齐的步骤,可以在对第一部分203与第二部分204实施热熔固定之前操作,或者在对第一部分203与第二部分204实施定位之前操作。
上述的孔均为其他目的所设置的结构,通过这些结构实现第一部分203和第二部分204对齐,方便继续实施热熔固定或者定位,这些结构增加了新的功能,不需要在第一部分203和第二部分204上单独设置对齐机构,简化了电池单体11的结构,降低了制造成本。
在一些实施例中,为了方便转接部件303与电极端子102连接,在转接部件303上设置有朝向电极端子102的凸台304,组装时还可以通过凸台304插入已经对齐的第一避让孔209和第一透孔206中,实现第一部分203与第二部分204的定位,使得第一部分203、第二部分204可以保持相对位置关系。
在一些实施例中,如图19、图20所示,延伸部201对应第二绝缘件4设置有第一卡接部2013,第二绝缘件4对应延伸部201设置有第二卡接部403,延伸部201与第二绝缘件4通过第一卡接部2013和第二卡接部403连接。
具体地,第一卡接部2013设置在防护部2011上,第二卡接部403设置在侧壁401上。延伸部201与第二绝缘件4之间可以通过卡接部组合连接,使得在组装时延伸部201、第二绝缘件4可以保持相对位置关系,方便组装。
在一些实施例中,第一卡接部2013为孔,第二卡接部403为凸台4031。
通过采用孔和凸台的结构,方便延伸部201与第二绝缘件4实现组合连接。定位部的结构可以设计多种类型,凸台和孔的配合结构,使得延伸部201与第二绝缘件4组合连接过程比较容易。
凸台4031固定在第二绝缘件4的内侧面,朝向延伸部201凸出,每一个凸台4031插入一个对应的孔内。由于延伸部201与电极组件3之间仍然存在间隙,所以凸台4031可以插入孔内。
在一些实施例中,如图19、图20所示,凸台4031与第二绝缘件4的内壁之间设置有连接部4032,孔包括第一段20131和第二段20132,第二段20132设置于第一段20131远离端盖1的一侧,至少部分连接部4032设置于第二段20132内,凸台4031与第一段20131构成过盈配合关系以限制凸台4031脱出第一段20131。
通过将凸台4031与第一段20131构成过盈配合关系,凸台4031进入孔内之后,可防止凸台4031从孔内轻易脱离,保证了第二绝缘件4与延伸部201组合连接之后的牢固度。
凸台4031可以为球形、圆柱形、棱柱形或锥台形、第一段20131可以为圆形或多边形,连接部4032可以为圆柱形或棱柱形。
以凸台4031为球形、连接部4032为圆柱形、第一段20131为圆形举例进行说明:要求连接部4032的直径小于凸台4031的直径,第二段20132的宽度小于第一段20131的直径,凸台4031的直径稍大于第一段20131的直径,凸台4031插入对应的孔内时,连接部4032设置于第二段20132内,凸台4031与第一段20131构成过盈配合关系,可防止凸台4031从孔内轻易脱离。
在一些实施例中,第二绝缘件4可以采用绝缘胶带,绝缘胶带缠绕在主体部301上。绝缘胶带非常方便设置,可以包裹电极组件3大面并固定延伸部201,实现电极组件3的绝缘防护。
