二次电池具有能量密度高、环境污染小、功率密度大、使用寿命长、适应范围广、自放电系数小等突出的优点,是现今世界上应用最为广泛的电池之一,也是新能源发展的重要组成部分。二次电池的电池单体是由正极极片、负极极片和隔离膜通过卷绕或者叠片等方式组装成电极组件,之后装入壳体、再盖上端盖,最后注入电解液得到的。其中,电池单体的壳体和端盖需要分别与电极组件的极耳进行焊接,以实现电池单体的电能的输出和输出,但是,在这种结构的电池单体中,壳体与极耳的焊接难度较高,导致电池单体的装配难度高,且装配时间较长,从而不利于提高电池单体的生产效率。

电池具有能量密度高、环境污染小、功率密度大、使用寿命长、适应范围广、自放电系数小等突出的优点,是新能源发展的重要组成部分。随着电池技术的不断发展,当下对电池的需求量也越来越多,因此,电池的生产效率的提高显得极为重要。
发明人发现,提高电池的生产效率需要先提升电池单体的生产效率,而电池单体的电极组件在装入壳体内后,电池单体受限于电极组件的极耳与壳体之间的焊接难度较高,导致电池单体的装配时间较长,为了降低电池的电池单体的装配难度和装配时间,在现有技术中,通常将电池单体设置为壳体和两个端盖的结构,壳体的两端均开设有开口,两个端盖分别盖合于壳体的两端,以使电极组件一端的极耳能够与一个端盖进行焊接后,再将该端盖焊接于壳体的一端,之后将电极组件另一端的极耳伸出壳体后与另一个端盖的电极端子进行焊接,最后将该端盖焊接于壳体的另一端,从而有利于降低电极组件的极耳与壳体之间的焊接难度。但是,采用这种结构的电池单体的两个端盖与壳体的焊接具有先后顺序,需要先完成一个端盖于壳体的焊接后才能够将另一个端盖与壳体进行焊接,从而不利于提高电池单体的生产效率。此外,这种结构的电池单体需要将电极组件的极耳延伸出壳体后才能与端盖进行焊接,从而导致电极组件的极耳较长,进而不利于降低电池单体的生产成本,且极容易造成极耳出现冗余的现象。
基于以上考虑,为了解决电池单体的生产效率较低的问题,发明人经过深入研究,设计了一种电池单体,电池单体设置有壳体、电极组件、第一端盖和第二端盖。壳体具有容纳腔,且容纳腔沿预设方向在壳体的两端分别形成有第一开口和第二开口。电极组件容纳于容纳腔内,且电极组件在预设方向上的两端分别具有第一极耳和第二极耳。第一端盖和第二端盖分别遮盖于第一开口和第二开口,且第一端盖和第二端盖分别电连接于电极组件的第一极耳和第二极耳。其中,第一开口大于第二开口,第二端盖被配置为从第一开口经过容纳腔后遮盖于第二开口。
在上述的电池单体中,壳体在预设方向上的两端分别开设有第一开口和第二开口,并将第一开口设置为大于第二开口,以使第二端盖能够从第一开口进入至容纳腔内后,从容纳腔的内部对第二开口进行遮盖,采用这种结构的电池单体在进行生产装配时能够先将第一端盖和第二端盖分别连接于电极组件的第一极耳和第二极耳上后,再将连接有第一端盖和第二端盖的电极组件从第一开口插入至容纳腔内,以使第二端盖能够遮盖第二开口,从而能够实现第一端盖和第二端盖同时入壳的功能,使得在生产装配时能够同时将第一端盖和第二端盖焊接于壳体的两端,以完成电池单体的生产装配,进而能够有效降低电池单体的装配难度,且能够缩短装配时间,有利于提高电池单体的生产效率。
此外,在这种结构的电池单体中,由于电极组件在装配入壳体的容纳腔内之前已经完成了第一极耳与第一端盖之间以及第二极耳与第二端盖之间的连接,从而无需将第一极耳或第二极耳延伸出壳体后再与第一端盖和第二端盖相连,有利于缩短电极组件的第一极耳和第二极耳的长度,进而能够有效降低电池单体的生产成本,且能够缓解第一极耳和第二极耳出现冗余的现象。
本申请实施例公开的电池单体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,有利于降低电池单体的装配难度,以提升电池单体的生产效率。

其中,第二端盖24被配置为从第一开口212经过容纳腔211后遮盖于第二开口213,即第二端盖24的尺寸小于第一开口212和容纳腔211的内径,使得第二端盖24能够从第一开口212进入容纳腔211内后,在容纳腔211内对第二开口213进行遮盖。在对电池单体20进行装配时,先将第一端盖23和第二端盖24分别连接于电极组件22对应的第一极耳221和第二极耳222;再将连接有第一端盖23和第二端盖24的电极组件22从第一开口212插入至容纳腔211内,并使第二端盖24插设于第二开口213内,以遮盖第二开口213;之后将第一端盖23和第二端盖24分别连接于壳体21的两端,以完成电池单体20的装配。

其中,沿预设方向X,第二开口213在连接部214的两侧分别形成有第一子开口和第二子 开口,第一子开口相较于第二子开口更靠近于第一端盖23,第一子开口大于第二子开口,即第二开口213在预设方向X上的两端的孔径不同,靠近第一端盖23的一端的孔径大于另一端的孔径。
第二开口213在连接部214的两侧分别形成有第一子开口和第二子开口,通过将第一子开口的尺寸设置为大于第二子开口的尺寸,从而通过这种结构实现了对第二端盖24的限制作用,以使端盖能够从第一子开口插入第二开口213内,进而便于第二端盖24从容纳腔211内对第二开口213进行遮盖。
根据本申请的一些实施例,参照图10,并请进一步参照图11,图11为本申请一些实施例提供的第二端盖24的局部剖面图。连接部214具有内周壁,内周壁围合形成第二开口213。内周壁形成有第一圆锥面2141,第一圆锥面2141在预设方向X上具有相对的大端和小端,大端相较于小端更靠近于第一端盖23。第二端盖24的外周侧形成有第二圆锥面2411,第二圆锥面2411与第一圆锥面2141相互配合且相互抵靠。

示例性的,第二圆锥面2411设置于第二端盖24的第二盖体241的外周侧上。
