Description

端盖组件、电池单体、电池及用电设备 技术领域
本申请涉及电池技术领域,具体而言,涉及一种端盖组件、电池单体、电池及用电设备。
背景技术
随着新能源技术的发展,电池的应用越来越广泛,例如应用于手机、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上。
由于电池单体内部装有电解液,电池单体需要满足密封性要求,以防止电解液从电池单体内部泄露至电池单体外部造成安全事故。为确保电池单体的密封性达到使用要求,在电池单体组装完成后,一般需要对电池单体的密封性进行检测。对于一般的电池单体而言,在对电池单体的密封性进行检测达到使用要求的情况下,电池单体在使用一段时间后仍然可能出现漏液的情况,影响电池单体的安全性。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供一种端盖组件、电池单体、电池及用电设备,能够有效提高电池单体的安全性。
第一方面,本申请实施例提供一种端盖组件,包括:端盖,具有沿所述端盖的厚度方向贯穿所述端盖的第一安装孔,所述端盖用于封闭电池单体的壳体;电极端子,部分穿设于所述第一安装孔内;密封件,至少部分位于所述第一安装孔内,以密封所述电极端子和所述端盖;连接件,连接于所述电极端子;第一绝缘件,包括本体部和延伸部,沿所述厚度方向,所述本体部位于所述连接件和所述端盖之间,所述本体部上设有供所述电极端子穿过的第二安装孔,所述延伸部位于所述连接件的外周,且围设于所述本体部的边缘;第一导流通道,形成于所述延伸部与所述连接件之间,所述第一导流通道与所述第二安装孔连通,以在所述密封件失效时使得壳体的内部与壳体的外部连通。
上述技术方案中,第一绝缘件的本体部位于连接件和端盖之间,且第一绝缘件的延伸部位于连接件的外周,本体部和延伸部均可以起到分隔连接件和端盖作用,增大爬电高度,使得第一绝缘件对连接件和端盖起到很好的绝缘效果。延伸部与连接件之间形成有第一导流通道,且第一导流通道与第二安装孔连通,在密封件失效时,将使得壳体的内部与壳体的外部连通,消除电池单体假密封现象,提高电池单体的安全性。
在一些实施例中,所述第一导流通道为设置于所述延伸部的内侧面的第一导流槽。这种结构的第一导流通道结构简单,便于成型,并不会影响延伸部的绝缘性能。
在一些实施例中,沿所述厚度方向,所述第一导流槽的一端延伸至所述延伸部背离所述本体部的一端。在成型时,可以从延伸部背离本体部的一端向靠近本体部的方向成型第一导流槽,降低了第一导流槽的成型难度。此外,增长了第一导流槽的长度,第一导流槽在延伸部背离本体部的一端将形成出口,即使连接件局部超出延伸部背离本体部的一端,也能够保证第一导流槽的畅通性。
在一些实施例中,所述第一导流通道为设置于所述连接件的外侧面的第一导流槽。这种结构的第一导流通道结构简单,便于成型。由于第一导流通道设置于连接件的外侧面,不会因设置第一导流通道而降低延伸部的强度,提高了第一绝缘件的使用寿命。
在一些实施例中,沿所述厚度方向,所述第一导流槽的一端延伸至所述连接件背离所述本体部的一端。降低第一导流槽的成型难度,增长了第一导流槽的长度,保证第一导流槽的畅通性。
在一些实施例中,所述端盖组件还包括:第二导流通道,形成于所述本体部与所述连接件之间,所述第二导流通道用于连通所述第一导流通道和所述第二安装孔。第二导流通道起到连通第 一导流通道和第二安装孔的作用,第二导流通道形成于本体部与连接件之间,能够有效缩短连通第一导流通道和第二安装孔的连通路径。
在一些实施例中,沿所述厚度方向,所述连接件具有面向所述本体部的第一面;所述第二导流通道为设置于所述第一面的第二导流槽。第二导流槽设置连接件面向本体部的第一面,能够有效降低第二导流槽的成型难度。此外,由于第二导流槽设置连接件,不会影响第一绝缘件的本体部的绝缘性能。
在一些实施例中,所述连接件上设有供所述电极端子穿过的第三安装孔;所述第二导流槽延伸至所述第三安装孔的孔壁。这种结构使得第二导流槽与第三安装孔连通,由于电极端子穿过第二安装孔和第三安装孔,第二导流槽与第二安装孔连通能够提高第二导流槽与第二安装孔的连通效果。
在一些实施例中,沿所述厚度方向,所述本体部具有面向所述连接件的第二面;所述第二导流通道为设置于所述第二面的第二导流槽。由于第二安装孔设置本体部上,第二导流槽设置于本体部面向连接件的第二面,更容易实现第二导流槽与第二安装孔连通,提高第二导流槽与第二安装孔的连通效果。
在一些实施例中,所述第二安装孔的孔壁上设有第三导流槽,沿所述厚度方向,所述第三导流槽贯穿所述本体部,所述第三导流槽与所述第二导流槽连通。第三导流槽起到连通第二导流槽和第二安装孔的作用,第三导流槽能够增大本体部与电极端子之间的间隙,保证壳体内部与壳体外部在密封件失效时良好连通。
在一些实施例中,所述第二导流槽延伸至所述第一导流槽,以实现所述第二导流槽与所述第一导流槽连通。这种结构实现第二导流槽与第一导流槽直接连通,缩短连通壳体内部与壳体外部的连通路径。
在一些实施例中,所述第一导流槽的宽度大于所述第二导流槽的宽度。这种结构能够保证第一导流槽与第二导流槽具有足够大的重叠区域,保证第一导流槽和第二导流槽连通位置的宽度,降低因制造误差造成第一导流槽和第二导流槽出现较大的错位,而导致第一导流槽和第二导流槽连通位置较窄的风险。
第二方面,本申请实施例提供一种电池单体,包括:壳体,具有开口;上述第一方面任意一个实施例提供的端盖组件,所述端盖用于盖合于所述开口,以封闭所述壳体。
第三方面,本申请实施例提供一种电池,包括:上述第二方面任意一个实施例提供的电池单体;箱体,用于容纳所述电池单体。

本申请中出现的“多个”指的是两个以上(包括两个)。
本申请中,电池单体可以包括锂离子二次电池、锂离子一次电池、锂硫电池、钠锂离子电池、钠离子电池或镁离子电池等,本申请实施例对此并不限定。电池单体可呈圆柱体、扁平体、长方体或其它形状等,本申请实施例对此也不限定。电池单体一般按封装的方式分成三种:柱形电池单体、方形电池单体和软包电池单体,本申请实施例对此也不限定。
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。电池一般包括用于封装一个或多个电池单体的箱体。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。
电池单体包括电极组件和电解液,电极组件包括正极极片、负极极片和隔离膜。电池单体主要依靠金属离子在正极极片和负极极片之间移动来工作。正极极片包括正极集流体和正极活性物质层,正极活性物质层涂覆于正极集流体的表面,未涂敷正极活性物质层的正极集流体凸出于已涂覆正极活性物质层的正极集流体,未涂敷正极活性物质层的正极集流体作为正极极耳。以锂离子电池为例,正极集流体的材料可以为铝,正极活性物质可以为钴酸锂、磷酸铁锂、三元锂或锰酸锂等。负极极片包括负极集流体和负极活性物质层,负极活性物质层涂覆于负极集流体的表面,未涂敷负极活性物质层的负极集流体凸出于已涂覆负极活性物质层的负极集流体,未涂敷负极活性物质层的负极集流体作为负极极耳。负极集流体的材料可以为铜,负极活性物质可以为碳或硅等。为了保证通过大电流而不发生熔断,正极极耳的数量为多个且层叠在一起,负极极耳的数量为多个且层叠在一起。隔离膜的材质可以为PP(polypropylene,聚丙烯)或PE(polyethylene,聚乙烯)等。此外,电极组件可以是卷绕式结构,也可以是叠片式结构,本申请实施例并不限于此。
发明人注意到,对于一般的电池单体来说,电池单体包括壳体、电极组件和端盖组件,电极组件容纳于壳体内,端盖组件盖合于壳体的一端。为方便引出电池单体内部的电能,端盖组件的端盖上会设置安装孔,与电极组件电连接的电极端子穿过安装孔延伸至端盖的外侧(端盖背离电极组件的一侧),为了防止电解液通过安装孔泄露至电池单体外部造成安装事故,一般会在安装孔内设置密封件,通过密封件来密封电极端子和端盖。
在电池单体组装完成后,一般需要对电池单体的密封性进行检测,以确保电池单体的密封性达到使用要求。但发明人发现,在对电池单体的密封性进行检测达到使用要求的情况下,电池单体在使用一段时间后仍然会出现漏液的情况,影响电池单体的安全性。
发明人进一步研究发现,在密封件失效时,端盖组件中起到绝缘作用的绝缘件对端盖和电极端子起到一定的密封作用,造成了电池单体假密封现象。在进行密封性检测时,由于电池单体未处于实际使用工况,电池单体的假密封现象使得电池单体能够达到密封性检测要求,但无法满足实际使用工况需求。
鉴于此,本申请实施例提供一种端盖组件,其包括端盖、电极端子、密封件、连接件、第一绝缘件和第一导通通道。端盖具有沿端盖的厚度方向贯穿端盖的第一安装孔,端盖用于封闭电池单体的壳体。电极端子部分穿设于第一安装孔内。密封件至少部分位于第一安装孔内,以密封电极端子和端盖。连接件连接于电极端子。第一绝缘件包括本体部和延伸部,沿厚度方向,本体部位于连接件和端盖之间,本体部上设有供电极端子穿过的第二安装孔,延伸部位于连接件的外周,且围设于本体部的边缘。第一导流通道形成于延伸部与连接件之间,第一导流通道与第二安装孔连通, 以在密封件失效时使得壳体的内部与壳体的外部连通。
在这样的端盖组件中,延伸部与连接件之间形成有第一导流通道,且第一导流通道与第二安装孔连通,在密封件失效时,将使得壳体的内部与壳体的外部连通,消除电池单体假密封现象,提高电池单体的安全性。
此外,由于第一导流通道形成于延伸部与连接件之间,第一导流通道的设置不会影响本体部与端盖之间的密封性能,在向电池单体内部注入电解液的过程中,即使端盖上残留有电解液,电解液也不易通过本体部与端盖之间的间隙进入到第一安装孔内,降低电解液进入第一安装孔内使得电极端子与端盖电连接,而导致端盖带电的风险,提高电池单体的安全性。
本申请实施例描述的端盖组件适用于电池单体、电池以及使用电池的用电设备。
用电设备可以是车辆、手机、便携式设备、笔记本电脑、轮船、航天器、电动玩具和电动工具等等。车辆可以是燃油汽车、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;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等等。本申请实施例对上述用电设备不做特殊限制。

在端盖组件23中的电极端子231为两个的实施例中,端盖组件23中的连接件233可以是一个,也可以是两个。若端盖组件23中的连接件233为两个,则一个电极端子231对应与一个连接件233连接;如图4所示,若端盖组件23中的连接件233为一个,两个电极端子231则与同一个连接件233连接,即两个电极端子231共用一个连接件233。在端盖组件23中的两个电极端子231极性相同的情况下,两个电极端子231则可共用一个连接件233。在端盖230中的两个电极端子231极性相反的情况下,两个电极端子231则可分别连接于两个连接件233,两个连接件233之间可以设置绝缘部件进行绝缘。

请参照图5,图5为图4所示的端盖组件23的剖视图,本申请实施例提供一种端盖组件23,端盖组件23包括端盖230、电极端子231、密封件232、连接件233、第一绝缘件234和第一导流通道238。端盖230具有沿端盖230的厚度方向Z贯穿端盖230的第一安装孔2301,端盖230用于封闭电池单体20的壳体21。电极端子231部分穿设于第一安装孔2301内。密封件232至少部分位于第一安装孔2301内,以密封电极端子231和端盖230。连接件233连接于电极端子231。第一绝缘件234包括本体部2341和延伸部2342,沿端盖230的厚度方向Z,本体部2341位于连接件233和端盖230之间,本体部2341上设有供电极端子231穿过的第二安装孔2341a,延伸部2342位于连接件233的外周,且围设于本体部2341的边缘。第一导流通道238形成于延伸部2342与连接件233之间,第一导流通道238与第二安装孔2341a连通,以在密封件232失效时使得壳体21的内部与壳体21的外部连通。
端盖230上的第一安装孔2301与电极端子231一一对应,本体部2341上的第二安装孔2341a与电极端子231也一一对应。如图5所示,以端盖组件23的电极端子231为两个,两个电极端子231的极性相同,两个电极端子231共用一个连接件233为例,端盖230上对应设置有两个第一安装孔2301,本体部2341上也对应设置有两个第二安装孔2341a。其中,两个第一安装孔2301内均安装有密封件232。
延伸部2342围设于本体部2341的边缘,延伸部2342和本体部2341共同限定出一容纳腔,沿端盖230的厚度方向Z,容纳腔在延伸部2342背离本体部2341的一端形成开口部。连接件233能够从开口部进入容纳腔内,以使延伸部2342位于连接件233的外周。连接件233可以完全容纳于容纳腔内,也可以部分容纳于容纳腔内。在图5中,为了便于连接件233与其他部件(如汇流部件)连接,连接件233部分容纳于容纳腔内,连接件233局部超出延伸部2342背离本体部2341的一端。容纳腔的形状可以与连接件233的形状相适配。示例性的,连接件233为矩形块,容纳腔为矩形腔。
第一导流通道238形成于延伸部2342与连接件233之间,第一导流通道238可以是设置于延伸部2342的内侧面2342a的导流槽,也可以是设置于连接件233的外侧面2331上的导流槽,也可以是延伸部2342的内侧面2342a上的导流槽和连接件233的外侧面2331上的导流槽共同形成的通道,也可以是延伸部2342的内侧面2342a与连接件233的外侧面2331之间存在间隙所形成的通道,也可以是延伸部2342的内侧面2342a为粗糙面和/或连接件233的外侧面2331为粗糙面而形成的不规则的通道。
第一导流通道238与第二安装孔2341a两者可以是直接连通,也可以是间接连通。在端盖组件23的电极端子231为两个,且本体部2341上对应设置有两个第二安装孔2341a的实施例中,可以是只有一个第二安装孔2341a对应设置有第一导流通道238,也可以是两个第二安装孔2341a均对应设置有第一导流通道238。
需要说明的是,在本申请实施例中,密封件232未安装到位或安装孔内并未安装密封件232或密封件232存在缺陷等,均属于密封件232失效的情况。
在本申请实施例中,第一绝缘件234的本体部2341位于连接件233和端盖230之间,且第一绝缘件234的延伸部2342位于连接件233的外周,本体部2341和延伸部2342均可以起到分隔连接件233和端盖230作用,增大爬电高度,使得第一绝缘件234对连接件233和端盖230起到很好的绝缘效果。
延伸部2342与连接件233之间形成有第一导流通道238,且第一导流通道238与第二安装孔2341a连通,在密封件232失效时,将使得壳体21的内部与壳体21的外部连通,消除电池单体20假密封现象,提高电池单体20的安全性。
在检测电池单体20的密封性时,可以向电池单体20内部注入检测介质,若密封件232失效,以漏装密封件232为例,检测介质将最终通过第一导流通道238流出,从而准确判断出密封件232失效。
此外,由于第一导流通道238形成于延伸部2342与连接件233之间,第一导流通道238的设置不会影响本体部2341与端盖230之间的密封性能,在向电池单体20内部注入电解液的过程中,即使端盖230上残留有电解液,电解液也不易通过本体部2341与端盖230之间的间隙进入到第一安装孔2301内,降低电解液进入第一安装孔2301内使得电极端子231与端盖230电连接,而导致端盖230带电的风险,提高电池单体20的安全性。
在一些实施例中,请参照图6,图6为本申请一些实施例提供的连接件233与第一绝缘件234的连接示意图,第一导流通道238为设置于延伸部2342的内侧面2342a的第一导流槽。

示例性的,连接件233部分容纳于容纳腔内,连接件233局部超出延伸部2342背离本体部2341的一端。第一导流槽为沿端盖230的厚度方向Z延伸的直线型槽。
在成型时,可以从延伸部2342背离本体部2341的一端向靠近本体部2341的方向成型第一导流槽,降低了第一导流槽的成型难度。此外,增长了第一导流槽的长度,第一导流槽在延伸部2342背离本体部2341的一端将形成出口,即使连接件233局部超出延伸部2342背离本体部2341的一端,也能够保证第一导流槽的畅通性。
在其他实施例中,第一导流槽也可以未延伸至延伸部2342背离本体部2341的一端,在这种情况下,可以将连接件233完全容纳于容纳腔内,使得连接件233并未完全覆盖第一导流槽。

在本实施例中,第一导流通道238为设置于连接件233的外侧面2331的第一导流槽,这种结构的第一导流通道238结构简单,便于成型。由于第一导流通道238设置于连接件233的外侧面2331,不会因设置第一导流通道238而降低延伸部2342的强度,提高了第一绝缘件234的使用寿命。
在一些实施例中,请继续参照图7,沿端盖230的厚度方向Z,第一导流槽的一端延伸至连接件233背离本体部2341的一端。
示例性的,连接件233部分容纳于容纳腔内,连接件233局部超出延伸部2342背离本体部2341的一端。第一导流槽为沿端盖230的厚度方向Z延伸的直线型槽。
在本实施例中,第一导流槽的一端延伸至连接件233背离本体部2341的一端,降低了第一导流槽的成型难度,增长了第一导流槽的长度,保证第一导流槽的畅通性。此外,在连接件233超延伸部2342背离本体部2341的一端的情况下,第一导流槽具有超出延伸部2342的部分,进一步保证了第一导流槽的畅通性。
在一些实施例中,请继续参照图6和图7,端盖组件23还包括第二导流通道239,第二导流通道239形成于本体部2341与连接件233之间,第二导流通道239用于连通第一导流通道238和第二安装孔2341a。
可理解的是,第一导流通道238通过第二导流通道239与第二安装孔2341a间接连通。沿端盖230的厚度方向Z,连接件233具有面向本体部2341的第一面2333,第一面2333为容纳腔的底面,本体部2341具有面向连接件233的第二面2341b,第二导流通道239可以是设置于第一面2333的导流槽,也可以是设置于第二面2341b上的导流槽,也可以是第一面2333上的导流槽和第二面2341b上的导流槽共同形成的通道,也可以是第一面2333与第二面2341b之间存在间隙所形成的通道,也可以是第一面2333为粗糙面和/或第二面2341b为粗糙面而形成的不规则通道。
在本实施例中,第二导流通道239起到连通第一导流通道238和第二安装孔2341a的作用,第二导流通道239形成于本体部2341与连接件233之间,能够有效缩短连通第一导流通道238和第二安装孔2341a的连通路径。

示例性的,连接件233的第一面2333可以是垂直于端盖230的厚度方向Z的平面。
在本实施例中,设置于第一面2333的第二导流槽可以是直线型槽,以可以是弯折型槽。若第二导流槽为直线型槽,第二导流槽可以沿垂直于端盖230厚度方向Z延伸。第二导流槽的横截面可以是矩形、圆弧形、V形等。
在端盖组件23的电极端子231为两个,且本体部2341上对应设有两个第二安装孔2341a的情况下,第一面2333上的第二导流槽可以沿两个第二安装孔2341a的排布方向延伸,以与第一导流槽连通。
在本实施例中,第二导流槽设置连接件233面向本体部2341的第一面2333,能够有效降低第二导流槽的成型难度。此外,由于第二导流槽设置连接件233,不会影响第一绝缘件234的本体部2341的绝缘性能。
在一些实施例中,请参照图8,图8为图6所示的连接件233的结构示意图,连接件233上设有供电极端子231穿过的第三安装孔2332,第二导流槽延伸至第三安装孔2332的孔壁。
第二导流槽延伸至第三安装孔2332的孔壁,使得第二导流槽与第三安装孔2332连通。示例性的,第二导流槽为直线型槽,第二导流槽的一端延伸至第三安装孔2332的孔壁,第二导流槽的另一端延伸至连接件233的外侧面2331,以与第一导流槽连通。
由于电极端子231穿过第二安装孔2341a和第三安装孔2332,第二导流槽与第二安装孔2341a连通能够提高第二导流槽与第二安装孔2341a的连通效果。
在一些实施例中,请继续参照图7,沿端盖230的厚度方向Z,本体部2341具有面向连接件233的第二面2341b,第二导流通道239为设置于第二面2341b的第二导流槽。
需要说明的是,在第一导流通道238为第一导流槽的情况下,无论是第一导流槽设置于延伸部2342的内侧面2342a,还是第一导流槽设置于连接件233的外侧面2331,第二导流通道239均可以是设置于第二面2341b的第二导流槽。示例性的,在图7中,第一导流通道238为设置于连接件233的外侧面2331的第一导流槽。
示例性的,本体部2341的第二面2341b可以是垂直于端盖230的厚度方向Z的平面。
在本实施例中,设置于第二面2341b的第二导流槽可以是直线型槽,以可以是弯折型槽。若第二导流槽为直线型槽,第二导流槽可以沿垂直于端盖230厚度方向Z延伸。第二导流槽的横截面可以是矩形、圆弧形、V形等。
在端盖组件23的电极端子231为两个,且本体部2341上对应设有两个第二安装孔2341a的情况下,第二面2341b上的第二导流槽可以沿两个第二安装孔2341a的排布方向延伸,以与第一导流槽连通。
在本实施例中,由于第二安装孔2341a设置本体部2341上,第二导流槽设置于本体部2341面向连接件233的第二面2341b,更容易实现第二导流槽与第二安装孔2341a连通,提高第二导流槽与第二安装孔2341a的连通效果。

在本实施例中,由于第二导流槽延伸至第一导流槽,实现第二导流槽与第一导流槽直接连通,缩短连通壳体21内部与壳体21外部的连通路径。
在其他实施例中,第二导流槽与第一导流槽也可以间接连通,比如,连接件233为矩形块,第二导流槽沿连接件233的长度方向延伸,第一导流槽位于延伸部2342在连接件233的宽度方向上的一侧,在这种情况下,第一导流槽和第二导流槽之间则存在一定距离,则可以在第一导流 槽和第二导流槽之间设置其他通道,以将两者连通。
在一些实施例中,请继续参照图6和图7,第一导流槽的宽度大于第二导流槽的宽度。这种结构能够保证第一导流槽与第二导流槽具有足够大的重叠区域,保证第一导流槽和第二导流槽连通位置的宽度,降低因制造误差造成第一导流槽和第二导流槽出现较大的错位,而导致第一导流槽和第二导流槽连通位置较窄的风险。
