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单体、锂离子一次电池单体、锂硫电池单体、钠锂离子电池单体、钠离子电池单体或镁离子电池单体等,本申请实施例对此并不限定。
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。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质,电极组件包括正极极片、负极极片和隔离件。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;正极集流体包括正极集流部和凸出于正极集流部的正极极耳,正极集流部涂覆有正极活性物质层,正极极耳的至少部分未涂覆正极活性物质层。以锂离子电池为例,正极集流体的材料可以为铝,正极活性物质层包括正极活性物质,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;负极集流体包括负极集流部和凸出于负极集流部的负极极耳,负极集流部涂覆有负极活性物质层,负极极耳的至少部分未涂覆负极活性物质层。负极集流体的材 料可以为铜,负极活性物质层包括负极活性物质,负极活性物质可以为碳或硅等。隔离件的材质可以为PP(polypropylene,聚丙烯)或PE(polyethylene,聚乙烯)等。
电池单体还包括外壳组件,外壳组件的内部形成密封的容纳空间,用于容纳电极组件、电解质及其他功能性部件,以在外壳组件的内部实现电化学反应。外壳组件上设置电极引出部,电极引出部包括正极电极引出部和负极电极引出部,正极电极引出部连接正极极耳,负极电极引出部连接负极极耳,以将电能输出或输入。
在电池中,还包括汇流部件,汇流部件用于连接电池单体的电极引出部。多个电池单体通过汇流部件实现电连接,以实现多个电池单体的并联、串联或混联。为了简化电池的结构,发明人将电池单体的正极电极引出部和负极电极引出部设置到电池单体的同一端,以便于汇流部件连接到正极电极引出部和负极电极引出部。
电池技术的发展要同时考虑多方面的设计因素,例如,能量密度、循环寿命、放电容量、充放电倍率等性能参数,还要考虑安全性。
出于安全性的考虑,电极组件的正极极耳和负极极耳一般分设在电极组件的相对两侧,以免正极极耳、负极极耳变形搭接导致短路。这使得电池单体的正极电极引出部和负极电极引出部中的一者远离与其极性相同的极耳,例如正极极耳位于电极组件的靠近正极电极引出部和负极电极引出部的一端时,负极极耳位于电极组件的背离正极电极引出部和负极电极引出部的一端,导致负极极耳和负极电极引出部不便于连接。为实现连接,考虑在电池单体中设置转接件,转接件穿设于电极组件的卷绕中心孔,转接件的一端连接负极极耳,转接件的另一端连接负极电极引出部,从而实现负极极耳和负极电极引出部电连接。
然而,在电池单体的内部设置转接件的方案中,电池单体在充放电过程中容易出现热失控的问题,进而导致电池单体发生燃爆。发明人进一步研究发现,当转接件中通过的电流过大时,转接件将产生大量热量,而转接件位于电极组件的中心位置,不容易向外散热,使得电极组件的中心位置的温度急剧升高,从而导致热失控。
鉴于此,为提高电池单体的安全性,本申请提供一种方案,在电池单体的内部设置吸热层,吸热层设置在电极组件的卷绕中心孔内,且吸热层围绕转接件的外周面,转接件过流升温时,热量被吸热层吸收,以免导致电极组件的温度急剧升高,从而缓解转接件过流导致电池单体热失控的问题,有效提高电池单体的安全性。
另外,当电极组件本身出现温度急剧升高的情况时,吸热层还能够吸收电极组件产生的热量,以缓解电极组件热失控的情况,实现延长电池单体从热失控到发生燃爆的时间,或者避免热失控加剧导致发生燃爆,从而提高电池单体的安全性。

外壳组件2的内部形成用于容纳电极组件1的空间。外壳组件2的形状可根据电极组件1的具体形状来确定。比如,若电极组件1为圆柱体结构,则外壳组件2可选为圆柱体;若电极组件1为长方体结构,则外壳组件2可选为长方体。可选地,电极组件1和外壳组件2均为圆柱体。
第一电极引出部21与第一极耳11电连接的方式可以是直接连接或间接连接以实现导电。电极引出部与第一极耳11直接连接包括:直接接触导电,通过导电胶粘结,或焊接。第一电极引出部21与第一极耳11间接连接是指通过其他导电部件连接。

本申请提供的技术方案,通过在电池单体102内部能够实现在电池单体102的同一侧连接汇流部件,使得结构更紧凑,能量密度更高,通过在转接件3的外周面设置吸热层4,用于吸收转接件3产生的热量,缓解转接件3过流升温导致电极组件1的温度急剧升高的问题,以免转接件3过流导致电池单体102热失控,有效提高电池单体102的安全性。
另一方面,当电极组件1本身出现温度急剧升高的情况时,吸热层4还能够吸收电极组件1产生的热量,以避免热失控加剧导致发生燃爆,或者延长电池单体102从热失控到发生燃爆的时间,从而提高电池单体102的安全性。
根据本申请的一些实施例,吸热层4为胶状基体和吸热材料的混合物。
胶状基体用于聚集吸热材料,以便能够形成具有吸热性能的混合物,使得胶状基体还具有粘结和绝缘的作用,以使吸热层4能够粘附于转接件3的外周面。在一些实施例中,胶状基体包括环氧树脂和橡胶增韧剂。
吸热材料是吸热层4中起吸热作用的主要成分。吸热材料可以是相变材料、无机盐类吸热材料等。
通过将吸热材料与胶状基体混合形成吸热层4,使得吸热层4能够粘附并覆盖转接件3的外周面,消除吸热层4和转接件3的外周面之间的间隙,保证足够的传热面积,提高吸热效果。
根据本申请的一些实施例,吸热材料包括无机盐类吸热材料。
无机盐类吸热材料有多种,例如氢氧化镁、氢氧化铝等,氢氧化镁受热时吸热分解为氧化镁和水,氢氧化铝受热时吸热分解为三氧化二铝和水,氧化镁和三氧化二铝都具有绝缘耐火的性能,能够起到绝缘作用和阻燃、隔热的作用。
通过吸热层4中设置无机盐类吸热材料,无机盐类吸热材料吸收热量后能够分解生成水和阻燃隔热的化合物,水能够进一步吸热热量、降低温度,阻燃隔热的化合物能够降低转接件3的温度对电极组件1的影响,从而进一步防止爆燃,提高电池单体102的安全性。
根据本申请的一些实施例,如图4、图5和图6所示,电池单体102还包括套筒5,套筒5设置于卷绕中心孔13内且套设于转接件3,吸热层4设置在套筒5的内周面和转接件3的外周面之间,套筒5和转接件3通过吸热层4粘接固定。
套筒5、转接件3、吸热层4三者结合为一整体,套筒5起到保护吸热层4的作用,防止在穿设于卷绕中心孔13的过程中,吸热层4被剐蹭、破坏,保证吸热层4均匀设置于转接件3的外周面,提高吸热效果。
根据本申请的一些实施例,吸热层4绝缘隔离套筒5和转接件3。
吸热层4采用绝缘的材料制成,或者吸热层4的外表面为绝缘材料,以使得吸热层4具有绝缘性能。如,吸热层4由绝缘的胶质基体和绝缘的吸热材料混合而成。
通过利用吸热层4绝缘隔离套筒5和转接件3,以免电池单体102中的与转接件3极性相反的部件通过套筒5搭接转接件3,防止短路,进一步提高电池单体102的安全性。
根据本申请的一些实施例,如图4、图5和图6所示,电池单体102还包括第一集流件,第一集流件覆盖于第一极耳11,第一电极引出部21和第一极耳11通过第一集流件电连接。
第一集流件是用于将第一极耳11和第一电极引出部21电连接的部件,以使电能在电极组件1和第一电极引出部21之间输送。
在电极组件1入壳前,先在第一极耳11上连接第一集流件(这里所说的连接是指抵接、焊 接或粘结),第一集流件相比第一极耳11更不容易变形,便于电极组件1入壳后通过第一集流件连接第一电极引出部21,连接更稳定。
根据本申请的一些实施例,如图7所示,第一集流件包括多个集流臂51,多个集流臂51绕套筒5的周向布置,每个集流臂51的一端连接于套筒5,另一端沿套筒5的径向延伸。
套筒5穿设于卷绕中心孔13,套筒5的轴向与卷绕中心孔13的轴向为同一方向,套筒5的径向与卷绕中心孔13的径向均垂直于套筒5的轴向。每个集流臂51沿套筒5的径向布置,也即多个集流臂51绕电极组件1的周向间隔布置在电极组件1的端面上,且每个集流臂51的延伸方向为电极组件1的径向。
一方面,每个集流臂51都从电极组件1的中心向边缘延伸,使得每个集流臂51都能够连接到第一极耳11的靠内圈层和靠外圈层,防止出现极化问题。本申请实施例中所说的“内”是指电极组件1的中心,“外”是指电极组件1的边缘。
另一方面,电解液能够从相邻的集流臂51之间进入电极组件1的极片层间,有效提高电解液的浸润效率和浸润效果,进而提升电池100的性能。
根据本申请的一些实施例,多个集流臂51与套筒5一体成型。
多个集流臂51与套筒5是连接的,能够进行热传递。
多个集流臂51在传输电能的过程中产生的热量,一部分通过外壳组件2向外散发,另一部分通过套筒5传递至吸热层4被吸收,两种散热方式配合,缓解集流臂51过流导致热失控的问题。
并且,在电池单体102的装配过程中,无需分别提供多个集流臂51和套筒5,还减少了多个集流臂51和套筒5的焊接步骤,有效降低生产成本,提高生产效率。
根据本申请的一些实施例,如图8和图9所示,每个集流臂51和套筒5之间形成有折痕52。
多个集流臂51和套筒5一体成型,折痕52位于每个集流臂51和套筒5之间。如图10所示,在装配前,多个集流臂51沿套筒5的轴向延伸,在套筒5通过吸热层4粘接固定于转接件3并一起穿设于卷绕中心孔13后,如图11所示集流臂51沿折痕52翻折并抵接于第一极耳11,用于实现第一极耳11和第一电极引出部21的电连接。
在一些实施例中,折痕52由集流臂51受力向外翻折后形成。在另一些实施例中,每个集流臂51和套筒5的连接部位具有薄弱区,使得集流臂51受力时易于向外翻折形成折痕52。
如图8和图9所示,套筒5的一端延长,并在延长的部分设置多个断缝53,每个断缝53都贯穿套筒5的内周面和外周面,每个断缝53均从延长的一端的端面沿轴向朝另一端延伸,多个断缝53沿套筒5的周向间隔布置,相邻的两个断缝53之间形成一个集流臂51。在另一些实施例中,断缝53的延伸方向也可以不平行于套筒5的轴向,例如断缝53的延伸方向相对轴向略微倾斜。
通过将每个集流臂51和套筒5集成为一体,并设置折痕52,便于套筒5穿过卷绕中心孔13,还保证集流臂51抵接第一极耳11,起到便于装配的作用,提高生产效率。
根据本申请的一些实施例,结合图5和图12所示,电池单体102还包括第一绝缘件6,第一绝缘件6位于套筒5的外周面和卷绕中心孔13的内壁之间,以绝缘隔离电极组件1和套筒5。
第一绝缘件为筒状结构的绝缘部件,第一绝缘件6套设在套筒5的外周面,以免套筒5的外周面与卷绕中心孔13的内壁接触。
套筒5与集流臂连接,套筒5的极性与第一极耳11相同,通过设置第一绝缘件6,防止套筒5与第二极片搭接,防止短路,提高安全性。
根据本申请的一些实施例,结合图3、图4、图5和图12所示,外壳组件2包括壳体23和端盖,壳体23包括底壁231和侧壁232,侧壁232围设于底壁231,底壁231连接于侧壁232的一 端,侧壁232的另一端形成开口,端盖覆盖开口,第一电极引出部21为端盖,第二电极引出部22绝缘安装于端盖。
壳体23是用于容纳电极组件1、电解质等功能部件的部件,壳体23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。可选地,当外壳为圆柱体时,壳体23为圆柱体的一部分。壳体23包括侧壁232和底壁231,侧壁232围合,底壁231封闭侧壁232的一端,侧壁232的另一端形成与底壁231相对的开口。
端盖是指盖合于壳体23的开口处以将电池单体102的内部环境隔绝于外部环境的部件。不限地,端盖的形状可以与壳体23的形状相适应以配合壳体23。可选地,当外壳为圆柱体时,端盖为圆柱体的另一部分。可选地,端盖可以由具有一定硬度和强度的材质(如铝合金)制成,这样,端盖在受挤压碰撞时就不易发生形变,使电池单体102能够具备更高的结构强度,安全性能也可以有所提高。
壳体23和端盖可以是独立的部件,可以于壳体23上设置开口,通过在开口处使端盖盖合开口以形成电池单体102的内部环境。不限地,也可以使端盖和壳体23一体化,具体地,端盖和壳体23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23的内部时,再使端盖盖合壳体23。
第二电极引出部22可被配置为电极端子。如图5和图12所示,端盖上形成有通孔,第二电极引出部22穿设于该通孔,在第二电极引出部22和端盖之间设有第四绝缘件9,以实现第二电极引出部22绝缘安装于端盖。
本实施例中,通过将端盖作为第一电极引出部21,端盖的面积较大,便于连接第一极耳11,也便于连接外部汇流部件,方便装配。
根据本申请的一些实施例,请再参照图5所示,端盖包括本体部211和边缘部212,边缘部212围绕本体部211,第二电极引出部22绝缘安装于本体部211;侧壁232的内周面形成有沿电池单体102的高度方向相对的第一限位部2321和第二限位部2322,第一限位部2321和第二限位部2322配合以夹持边缘部212,第一限位部2321相对第二限位部2322靠近电极组件1,第一限位部2321抵接于第一极耳11,以实现端盖和第一极耳11电连接。
结合图12所示,边缘部212设置在本体部211的外周,本体部211的中心设置用于安装第二电极引出部22的通孔。
沿电池单体102的高度方向上,第一限位部2321和第二限位部2322均位于电极组件1设有第一极耳11的一侧,且第一限位部2321位于第一极耳11和第二限位部2322之间。第一限位部2321包括沿电池单体102的高度方向相对的第一侧和第二侧,第一侧抵接于第一极耳11,第二侧面向第二限位部2322。第一限位部2321的第二侧和第二限位部2322之间形成容纳端盖的边缘部212的空间。当端盖的边缘部212被第一限位部2321的第二侧和第二限位部2322夹持时,第一极耳11和端盖通过第一限位部2321导通并实现电能输送。端盖的本体部211的未被遮蔽的部分,可用于连接外部汇流部件。
在设有第一集流件的实施例中,第一限位部2321的第一侧抵接于第一集流件,从而与第一极耳11电连接。
通过在侧壁232上设置第一限位部2321和第二限位部2322,第一限位部2321和第二限位部2322配合即可固定连接侧壁232和端盖,无需通过焊接等手段连接,连接方便,装配效率高。
另一方面,为便于电连接,常对第一极耳11和第二极耳12分别进行处理,以减小第一极耳11的层间缝隙和第二极耳12的层间缝隙。例如,可对第一极耳11进行揉平处理,以使第一极耳11收拢、集合在一起,减小极耳层间的缝隙,使得第一极耳11在电极组件1的一端形成致密的端面,便于第一极耳11与第一电极引出部21连接。可替代地,本申请实施例也可以在相邻的两圈极耳层之间填充导电材料,以减小极耳层间的缝隙。同理地,第二极耳12也经过了揉平处理或填充导电材料,以减小第二极耳12的极耳层间的缝隙。然而,极耳的端面有时存在不平整的情况,这导致极耳和端盖焊接时容易出现虚焊的问题,对电池单体102的过流能力产生不良影响。本实施 例中,端盖通过第一限位部2321抵接于第一极耳11实现电连接,第一限位部2321能够进一步压实第一极耳11,缓解由于第一极耳11的表面不平整导致的过流不良的情况,而且还无需焊接,装配效率高。
根据本申请的一些实施例,请再参照图5所示,侧壁232上形成有从侧壁232的外周面向内凹陷的凹部,并在侧壁232与凹部相对应的位置形成凸出于侧壁232的内周壁的第一限位部2321,凹部与第一限位部2321均为环形结构。
换言之,侧壁232受力弯折变形,以在侧壁232背离电池单体102内部的一侧形成凹部,并在侧壁232面向电池单体102内部的一侧形成凸起,凹部和凸起的位置对应。其中,凹部为沿侧壁232的周向延伸的环形凹槽,凸起为沿侧壁232的周向延伸的环形凸起,环形凸起作为第一限位部2321。
电池100单体装配时,侧壁232上先不形成第一限位部2321,电极组件1装入壳体23后,再通过辊压加工的方式在侧壁232上形成第一限位部2321,第一限位部2321不会阻碍电极组件1装配于壳体23,且能够保证电极组件1及其第一极耳11和第二极耳12被进一步压紧,以免电极组件1与底壁231、第一限位部2321之间出现间隙,使得电池单体102的结构更紧凑,过流能力更好。
环形的第一限位部2321在电极组件1的整个周向上都能够抵接于第一极耳11,过流能力较高。
在设有多个集流臂51的实施例中,相对非环形的形状,通过设置环形的第一限位部2321,无需考虑多个集流臂51的装配位置,多个集流臂51在第一极耳11的端面上的任意位置都能够与环形的第一限位部2321抵接,装配方便。第一限位部2321和多个集流臂51配合,不仅能够方便装配,压实第一极耳11并避免虚焊,还使得第一极耳11的靠内圈层至靠外圈层均形成有过流位置,有效避免极化,电池单体102的充放电能力较高。
根据本申请的一些实施例,请再参照图5所示,第二限位部2322为侧壁232在开口位置向内翻折的翻边结构。
第二限位部2322为侧壁232在开口位置向内翻折的翻边结构,即第二限位部2322为侧壁232的一部分,以使第二限位部2322能够稳定地在端盖背离电极组件1的一侧对端盖进行限位。
并且,第二限位部2322为侧壁232的一部分,也能减少侧壁232的连接关系,从而提高侧壁232的结构强度。
在一些实施例中,第二限位部2322可以是环形结构,以使第二限位部2322能够在周向的任意位置限制端盖沿背离电极组件1的方向移动。
在一些实施例中,第二限位部2322和端盖的本体部211可共同作为第一电极引出部21,以连接外部汇流部件。
根据本申请的一些实施例,如图12和图13所示,电池单体102还包括第二绝缘件7,第二绝缘件7位于壳体23和电极组件1之间,以绝缘隔离壳体23和第二极耳12。
如图13所示,第二绝缘件7包括相连的两部分,第一部分71位于第二极耳12和底壁231之间,第二部分72位于侧壁232和电极组件1之间,以使第二极耳12面向底壁231的部分和第二极耳12面向侧壁232的部分都被隔离,保证绝缘效果。
在一些实施例中,第二绝缘件7的第一部分71和第二部分72采用绝缘材料预先定型后装配于电极组件1。在另一些实施例中,如图12所示,第二绝缘件7为环形的绝缘膜,装配时,第一部分71套设于电极组件1的外周面后,第二部分72向内折叠以覆盖第二极耳12。可选地,第二绝缘件7为热缩膜,第一部分71套设于电极组件1的外周面后,加热第二部分72,以使第二部分72的直径逐渐缩小,从而覆盖在第二极耳12上。
通过设置第二绝缘件7,有效防止壳体23和第二极耳12搭接,防止短路,提高电池单体102的安全性。
根据本申请的一些实施例,请再结合图5和图12所示,电池单体102还包括第三绝缘件8,第三绝缘件8位于第一极耳11和第二电极引出部22之间,以绝缘隔离第一极耳11和第二电极引出部22。
第三绝缘件8为盘状结构的绝缘部件。第三绝缘件8覆盖第二电极引出部22面向电极组件1的一端的端面,第三绝缘件8的边缘朝向端盖翻折并抵接第四绝缘件9,以完全覆盖第二电极引出部22位于电池单体102的内部的部分。第三绝缘件8还设有沿轴向贯穿的避让口,以便转接件3能够穿过避让口连接第二电极引出部22。
通过设置第三绝缘件,防止第一极耳11和第二电极引出部22搭接,防止短路,提高电池100的安全性。
根据本申请的一些实施例,请再结合图4、图5和图12所示,第二电极引出部22设有注液孔221,转接件3内形成有用于容许电解液流通的流道31,流道31的一端与注液孔221相对。
如图5和图12所示,注液孔221贯穿第二电极引出部22,第二电极引出部22设有密封件222,密封件222用于封闭注液孔221位于电池单体102的外部的一端。
流道31形成在转接件3的内部,流道31的一端与注液孔221相对,使得电解液能够从注液孔221注入并经流道31进入电池单体102内,如图4所示,流道31沿轴向贯穿转接件3,使得电解液能够由下至上充满电池单体102内部。
通过在第二电极引出部设置注液孔221,在转接件3内形成流道31,转接件3兼具导电功能和注液功能,使得电池单体102能够实现开口化成,降低电池100的内压,提高电池100的安全性。开口化成是指电池单体102注液后,在未完全密封的情况下进行首次充放电。本实施例中电池单体102化成后再将密封件222连接于第二电极引出部22,从而实现开口化成。

第二集流件32相比第二极耳12不易变形,通过设置第二集流件32,便于连接,而且第二集流件32能够覆盖第二极耳12的较多面积,提高过流能力,防止出现极化问题。
