目前,从市场形势的发展来看,动力电池的应用越加广泛。动力电池不仅被应用于水力、火力、风力和太阳能电站等储能电源系统,而且还被广泛应用于电动自行车、电动摩托车、电动汽车等电动交通工具,以及军事装备和航空航天等多个领域。随着动力电池应用领域的不断扩大,其市场的需求量也在不断地扩增。
动力电池生产完成后需要进行组装,即将生产完成的多个电池单体之间串联或并联或混联在一起,以形成电池模组。然后将电池模组容纳于电池箱体中,形成电池的整体结构。
随着电池的应用越来越广泛,人们对电池的要求也越来越高,因此,电池需要具有更大的能量密度以及更小的体积。在这种前提下,电池箱体的容纳空间往往与电池模组刚好配合,不具备多余的间隙。这种结构也能够避免电池在装载或运输过程中,电池模组在电池箱体内位置稳定,不发生晃动,从而确保电池模组不被损坏。
然而,由于电池模组与电池箱体的容纳空间配合较为紧密,将电池模组装入电池箱体的过程中,电池模组容易与电池箱体发生磕碰,从而影响电池模组的使用性能。
此外,由于现有的电池箱体多为上端开口,即电池模组沿高度方向从上往下的装入电池箱体中。在此过程中,由于电池箱体高度方向上的深度较大,电池模组从上往下装入电池箱体时容易发生跌落,从而导致电池模组受到损坏。
基于以上问题,可以通过对电池箱体中框结构的改进,设计一种可拼接的电池箱体,使电池模组装入时的深度较浅,从而确保电池模组能够稳定放入,进而通过拼接的方式实现电池箱体的密封。由此,可提高电池的组装效率,且能够确保电池模组的安全性能。
参阅图1及图2,本申请的一个或多个实施例中提供了一种用于放置电池模组200的电池箱体100,包括第一端板10、第二端板20、第一中框30以及第二中框40。其中,第一端板10与第二端板20相对设置。第一中框30连接于第一端板10与第二端板20之间,第一端板10、第二端板20以及第一中框30共同围合形成一端开口的半容置空间50,半容置空间50在电池模组200的进入方向a上的高度小于电池模组200的高度。第二中框40沿电池模组200的进入方向a与第一中框30拼接,并封闭开口。
具体到本实施例中,第一端板10为电池箱体100的底座,第二端板20为电池箱体100的上盖,第一中框30连接于底座与上盖之间,且与底座及上盖共同围合形成一端开口的半容置空间50。
需要说明的是,电池模组200的进入方向a为水平放入,即半容置空间50的开口方向为水平方向,电池模组200沿水平方向经开口进入半容置空间50内。以圆柱电池为例,圆柱电池水平方向上的高度通常小于竖直方向上的高度,因此,电池模组200沿水平方向进入半容置空间50时,半容置空间50的深度较浅,更便于电池模组200的放入。
此外,由于半容置空间50在水平方向上的高度小于电池模组200在此方向上的高度,因此,将电池模组200放入半容置空间50时,电池模组200上可具有一定高度的拿持位,以便于将电池模组200稳定放入半容置空间50中。
待电池模组200放入半容置空间50内之后,将第二中框40与第一中框30拼接,从而形成完整的中框结构,实现电池模组200的密封安装。
通过上述结构,能够使电池模组200进入电池箱体100的过程更加方便且稳定,确保电池模组200安装过程中的安全可靠。
请结合图3,在一些实施例中,第一中框30包括第一侧板31、第二侧板32以及第三侧板33,第一侧板31沿第一方向b连接于第一端板10与第二端板20之间,第二侧板32及第三侧板33沿与第一方向b相交的第二方向c分别形成于第一侧板31相对的两端,并连接于当前所在端的第一端板10与第二端板20之间。在电池模组200的进入方向a上,第二侧板32及第三侧板33的高度小于电池模组200的高度。
具体地,第一方向b为竖直方向,第二方向c为与竖直方向垂直的水平方向。第一侧板31沿竖直方向连接于底座与上盖之间,第二侧板32及第三侧板33沿水平方向分别连接于第一侧板31的相对两端,并且连接于底座与上盖之间。即第一中框30由第一侧板31、第二侧板32以及第三侧板33共同形成一“U”型结构,且连接于底座与上盖之间。
由此,第二侧板32与第三侧板33在电池模组200的进入方向a上的高度即为半容置空间50的高度。具体地,将第二侧板32及第三侧板33在电池模组200的进入方向a上的高度设置为电池模组200在此方向上高度的一半,一方面能够确保电池模组200放入半容置空间50内的稳定限位,另一方面也使电池模组200进入半容置空间50时更加顺利。
在一些实施例中,第一中框30、第一端板10以及第二端板20一体成型为第一箱体总成。相比于现有技术中采用螺栓等连接件进行连接组合的方式,采用一体成型的连接方式能够使第一箱体总成的整体结构更加稳定。此外,由于无需另外设置连接件,能够减少连接件所需占用的空间,从而能够使电池箱体100内部的空间使用率更高,提高电池1000的能量密度。
请参看图4,在一些实施例中,第二中框40包括第四侧板41、第五侧板42以及第六侧板43。其中,第四侧板41沿第一方向b连接于第一端板10与第二端板20之间,第五侧板42及第六侧板43沿第二方向c分别形成于第四侧板41相对的两端,并连接于当前所在端的第一端板10与第二端板20之间。此外,第五侧板42与第二侧板32拼接,第六侧板43与第三侧板33拼接。
具体地,第二中框40与第一中框30结构互补,第二中框40由第四侧板41、第五侧板42以及第六侧板43组成另一“U”型结构,并且第二中框40与第一中框30开口相对的连接于底座与上盖之间。由此,形成整体的容置空间,并将电池模组200密封于其内。
采用拼接的方式能够快速实现第二中框40与第一中框30、底座以及上盖之间的密封连接,使电池1000的组装过程更加方便快捷。
进一步地,第四侧板41、第五侧板42以及第六侧板43一体成型为第二箱体总成,第一箱体总成与第二箱体总成共同构造形成电池箱体100。
为了使第二中框40的结构更加简洁,第四侧板41、第五侧板42以及第六侧板43采用一体成型的方式制成。并且将一体成型的第二箱体总成与第一箱体总成进行拼接,从而共同形成整体的电池箱体100。
在一些实施例中,第一中框30与第二中框40其中一者上设置第一固定件44,另一者上设置与第一固定件44配合的第二固定件34,第二中框40借由第一固定件44与第二固定件34沿电池模组200的进入方向a与第一中框30拼接。
具体地,第一中框30上设置第二固定件34,第二中框40上设置第一固定件44。进一步地,第二固定件34设置在第二侧板32与第三侧板33上,第一固定件44设置在第五侧板42与第六侧板43上,且与第二固定件34相配合。由此,当第一中框30与第二中框40拼接时,第二侧板32及第三侧板33上的第二固定件34与第五侧板42及第六侧板43上的第二固定件34相互配合连接,以使第一中框30与第二中框40相互连接。由此,可实现第一中框30与第二中框40的快速拼接。
在一些实施例中,第一固定件44为卡扣,第二固定件34为与卡扣通过卡接配合的卡槽。卡扣与卡槽相互卡接,从而实现第一中框30与第二中框40的快速拼接。采用卡扣与卡槽的卡接配合,能够进一步地节省空间。可以理解地,第一固定件44与第二固定件34也可以采用其他连接方式,例如螺栓连接等,在此不作赘述。
请再次参看图2,基于与上述电池箱体100相同的构思,本申请提供了一种电池1000,包括如上所述的电池箱体100及容置于电池箱体100内的电池模组200。
请参看图5,在一些实施例中,电池模组200包括电池单体201及分别连接于电池单体201相对两端的线束隔离板202及汇流排203。其中,电池单体201连接线束隔离板202的一端及连接汇流排203的一端分别与第一端板10及第二端板20相连。
具体地,线束隔离板202与汇流排203分别设置于电池单体201的底部及顶部,并将汇流排203与电池单体201的极柱进行焊接。进一步地,将连接后的电池模组200沿水平方向放入半容置空间50内,使得线束隔离板202与底座相连,汇流排203与上盖相连,从而实现电池模组200在半容置空间50内的稳定安装。
基于与上述电池1000相同的构思,本申请提供了一种用电装置,包括用电主体及如上所述的电池1000。
本申请具体使用时,首先将线束隔离板202及汇流排203分别设置于电池单体201的底部与顶部,形成电池模组200。将连接完成后的电池模组200沿水平方向经由开口放入半容置空间50内,待电池模组200放置稳定后,将第二中框40上的卡扣与第一中框30上的卡槽进行卡接配合,以实现第一中框30与第二中框40的拼接。由此,第二中框40对开口进行封闭,并且与第一中框30、底座以及上盖共同形成完整的电池箱体100。
上述实施例中的电池箱体100、电池1000以及用电装置,至少具有以下优点:
1)半容置空间50在电池模组200进入方向a上的高度小于电池模组200的高度,由此,使得电池模组200放入半容置空间50中的过程更加稳定安全,能够有效避免组装过程中损坏电池模组200;
2)第一中框30、第一端板10以及第二端板20通过一体成型形成第一箱体总成,使得第一箱体总成的结构更加简洁,能够减少连接件在电池箱体100内部的占用空间,提高电池1000的能量密度;
3)第一中框30与第二中框40通过卡接的方式进行拼接,结构简单,便于操作,并且卡扣与卡槽的占用空间更小,有利于节省空间。
根据本申请的一些实施例,参见图1,本申请提供了一种电池箱体100,包括相对设置的底座与上盖,第一中框30连接于底座与上盖之间,且第一中框30、底座以及上盖共同围合形成一端开口的半容置空间50。半容置空间50在电池模组200的进入方向a上的高度为电池模组200在此方向上高度的一半,由此,电池模组200放入半容置空间50内时,电池模组200上具有一半高度的拿持位,以便于使电池模组200稳定进入半容置空间50内。此外,由于半容置空间50的高度为电池模组200高度的一半,电池模组200进入半容置空间50内时不易发生跌落,从而确保电池模组200的安全性能。
进一步地,第二中框40通过卡扣与第一中框30上的卡槽配合卡接,以实现第一中框 30与第二中框40的拼接,从而形成完整的容置空间,将电池模组200密封设置于该容置空间内。
最后应说明的是:以上各实施例仅用以说明本申请的技术方案,而非对其限制;尽管参照前述各实施例对本申请进行了详细的说明,本领域的普通技术人员应当理解:其依然可以对前述各实施例所记载的技术方案进行修改,或者对其中部分或者全部技术特征进行等同替换;而这些修改或者替换,并不使相应技术方案的本质脱离本申请各实施例技术方案的范围,其均应涵盖在本申请的权利要求和说明书的范围当中。尤其是,只要不存在结构冲突,各个实施例中所提到的各项技术特征均可以任意方式组合起来。本申请并不局限于文中公开的特定实施例,而是包括落入权利要求的范围内的所有技术方案。
