当前以铝壳电芯为主的电池模组或电池包成组完毕且连接片焊接后,若此时出现电芯外表面的绝缘层(如绝缘膜、绝缘漆或其他涂层或覆层)破损或划伤,则会造成整个电池模组(或模块)或电池包因绝缘耐压问题报废(仅宁德时代新能源技术有限公司在2020年报废率达0.2%,损失成本>1亿元)。
电池或电池包生产完毕后其整体结构不可拆卸,若此时发生绝缘层破损,无法将绝缘层全部去除后再返修。常规的修复方法通常为使用压敏胶带在缺陷区域打补丁,但是压敏胶带模量低(<2MPa),在多次振动冲击后原有补丁位置会因蠕变问题造成褶皱或位移,从而无法保证电池的安全性和使用寿命。发明人在经过大量研究后发 现,本申请第一方面的外壳能够通过包含特定尺寸的蘑菇状结构的修复部确保电池的安全性。

相关的测试方法
二次电池的耐压漏电流测试
将电池放置在测试工装内,工装内壁为导电泡棉材质,柔软的导电泡棉能使工装与电芯五个面(除顶面外的五个平面,包含拐角棱边)充分接触,使用绝缘耐压测试仪(供应商:日置),正极探针接触在电芯顶盖的裸铝位置,负极探针与工装内的导电泡棉相连。
将绝缘耐压测试仪测试电压调整至2700VDC(DC为直流电),升压时间1s,保压时间60s,启动测试后观察记录仪器显示的漏电流值,若漏电流值≤0.1mA即为合格,若超出此电流值或仪器在升压到2700VDC前即报警,则判断为不合格。
二次电池的绝缘阻抗测试
将电池放置在测试工装内,工装内壁为导电泡棉材质,柔软的导电泡棉能使工装与电芯五个面(除顶面外的五个平面,包含拐角棱边)充分接触,使用绝缘耐压测试仪(供应商:日置),正极探针接触在电芯顶盖的裸铝位置,负极探针与工装内的导电泡棉相连。
将绝缘耐压测试仪测试电压调整至1000VDC(DC为直流电),测试时间5s,启动测试后观察记录仪器显示的电阻值,若电阻值≥10GΩ即为合格,若低于10GΩ,则判断为不合格。
振动冲击测试(是否发生位移和褶皱)
a)振动冲击测试采用电池模组或电池包系统进行测试,本实施例采用的是1P108S(1并108串)电池包系统,测试前系统SOC(SOC为剩余容量占正常容量的比值,取值0~1之间)调整至不低于正常SOC范围的50%
振动测试参照GB38031-2020《电动汽车用动力蓄电池安全要求》8.2.1小节中的测试方法,参照表2进行x、y、z三个方向振动测试(x为车辆行驶方向,y为垂直于行驶方向的水平方向,z为垂直于行驶方向的竖直方向)。振动测试结束,观察2h后,拆解电池包系统,肉眼观察电芯外部绝缘层(包括返修后的绝缘层)是否完好,有无褶皱、位移等现象,若有,则判断为测试不合格。
b)冲击测试采用与振动测试相同型号电池包系统进行,参照GB38031-2020《电动汽车用动力蓄电池安全要求》8.2.2小节进行测试,对试验对象施加如表4规定的半正弦波,±z方向各6次,共计12次。冲击测试结束,观察2h后,拆解电池包系统,肉眼观察电芯外部绝缘层(包括返修后的绝缘层)是否完好,有无褶皱、位移等现象,若有,则判断为测试不合格。
粘接强度测试(仅测试剪切方向的强度)
参照GB/T 7124-2008《胶粘剂 拉伸剪切强度的测定》
1)剪切强度测试:将试样在10000N拉伸试验机上装夹好后(测试夹钳处各垫一个与试片厚度相当的垫片,使试样受力平行于胶接平面,注意控制上下夹钳不要发生明显扭转),拉伸试验机测试速度设定为5mm/min,将“拉力”、“位移”、“最大拉力”三个选项全部清 零,启动拉伸试验机,观察并等待试样拉脱后,记录此时的“最大拉力”数值和“位移”数值,并记录拉脱位置的情况(是界面破坏AF还是胶本体的内聚破坏CF)。
2)高温高湿存储:取各实施例和对比例的外壳样品放入85℃85%相对湿度的恒温恒湿箱中存储一定时间,当存储时间达到1000h后取出,常温静置2h后参照步骤1的方式测试1000h剪切强度,当1000h剪切强度≥2.0MPa,且失效模式不是修复部脱落或撕裂时,判断合格,即该试样满足1000h粘接剪切强度测试,反之不合格。
表1各实施例和对比例的相关参数和测试结果
Figure PCTCN2022073450-appb-000002
根据上述结果可知,符合本发明的相关参数的实施例1、5、10、14在绝缘、耐压、振动冲击和粘结强度方面均取得了良好的效果。
而相对于此,对比例1除去全部绝缘层厚度后,其绝缘阻抗和粘结强度均不及本发明的实施例。对比例2使用压敏胶带修复绝缘 层缺陷,虽然其绝缘耐压性能满足现有技术的需求,但是其在振动冲击过程中容易出现褶皱和位移,并且不能满足粘结强度的要求。
需要说明的是,本申请不限定于上述实施方式。上述实施方式仅为示例,在本申请的技术方案范围内具有与技术思想实质相同的构成、发挥相同作用效果的实施方式均包含在本申请的技术范围内。此外,在不脱离本申请主旨的范围内,对实施方式施加本领域技术人员能够想到的各种变形、将实施方式中的一部分构成要素加以组合而构筑的其它方式也包含在本申请的范围内。
