在本申请中,所提及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,本申请中所提及的电池可以包括电池模块或电池包等。
电池单体包括电极组件和电解液,电极组件由正极极片、负极极片和隔离膜组成。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。
在本申请中,电极组件包括涂覆有活性物质层的主体和未涂敷活性物质层的极 耳,极耳从主体的端部延伸出。
电池单体还包括端盖组件和转接件,端盖组件包括端盖、电极端子和泄压机构,电极端子和泄压机构设置于端盖。转接件通常具有较长的长度,在电池单体的装配过程中,转接件进行折弯。
泄压机构是指电池单体的内部压力或温度达到阈值时致动以泄放内部压力或温度的元件或部件。泄压机构可以采用诸如防爆阀、气阀、泄压阀或安全阀等的形式,并可以具体采用压敏或温敏的元件或构造,即,当电池单体的内部压力或温度达到阈值时,泄压机构执行动作或者泄压机构中设有的薄弱结构被破坏,从而形成可供内部压力或温度泄放的开口或通道。
本申请中所提到的“致动”是指泄压机构产生动作或被激活至一定的状态,从而使得电池单体的内部压力及温度得以被泄放。泄压机构产生的动作可以包括但不限于:泄压机构中的至少一部分破裂、破碎、被撕裂或者打开等等。泄压机构在致动时,电池单体的内部的高温高压物质作为排放物会从致动的部位向外排出。以此方式能够在可控压力或温度的情况下使电池单体发生泄压及泄温,从而避免潜在的更严重的事故发生。
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、放电容量、充放电倍率等性能参数,另外,还需要考虑电池的安全性。
对于电池单体来说,影响安全因素的因素很多,例如,环境温度、装配导致部件损坏(如极耳开裂)、析锂、泄压不及时等。
发明人研究发现,转接件由于长度较长,在装配过程中,转接件折弯,使得转接件包括沿端盖厚度方向依次折叠的第一连接部、第二连接部和第三连接部,第一连接部用于与电极组件连接,第三连接部用于与电极端子连接,第二连接部连接第一连接部和第三连接部;当电极组件发生电化学反应产生大量气体时,电池单体的内部压力增大,气体在电池单体内部压力的作用下流动,由于第二连接部覆盖泄压机构、阻挡气体的流动,气体需要绕过第二连接部朝向泄压机构流动,气体的流动顺畅性较差,导致泄压机构不能及时泄压,严重时引发电池单体爆炸,进而使得电池单体的安全性较低。
鉴于此,为了解决转接件阻挡气体的流动而使得泄压机构不能及时泄压的问题,发明人经过深入研究,设计了一种电池单体,该电池单体包括端盖组件和转接件,端盖组件包括端盖、电极端子和泄压机构,电极端子和泄压机构均设置于端盖;转接件设置于端盖的面向电池单体内部的一侧,转接件包括沿端盖的厚度方向依次折叠的第一连接部、第二连接部和第三连接部,第一连接部用于与电极组件连接,第三连接部用于与电极端子连接,第二连接部连接第一连接部和第三连接部;其中,第二连接部设置有第一通孔,第一通孔用于供电池单体内部的气体通过,以使气体能够流向泄压机构。通过在第二连接部设置第一通孔,提高气体的流动顺畅性,进而便于气体流向泄压机构顺畅,从而使得泄压机构能够及时泄压,提高电池单体的安全性。
在这样的电池单体中,在电极组件因发生电化学反应产生大量气体时,气体在电池单体内部压力的作用下朝向泄压机构流动,由于第二连接部设置有第一通孔,气 体能够经过第一通孔穿过第二连接部,减小第二连接部对气体的阻挡,使得气体顺畅地朝向泄压机构流动,以便于泄压机构及时泄压,进而提高电池单体的安全性。
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设备中。可以使用具备本申请公开的电池单体、电池等组成该用电设备的电源系统。
本申请实施例提供一种使用电池作为电源的用电设备,用电设备可以为但不限于手机、平板电脑、笔记本电脑、电动玩具、电动工具、电动自行车、电动摩托车、电动汽车、轮船、航天器等等。其中,电动玩具可以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,航天器可以包括飞机、火箭、航天飞机和宇宙飞船等等。

根据本申请实施例的电池单体20,在电极组件23因发生电化学反应产生大量气体时,气体在电池单体20内部压力的作用下朝向泄压机构223移动,由于第二连接部242设置有第一通孔2421,气体能够经过第一通孔2421穿过第二连接部242,减小第二连接部242对气体的阻挡,使得气体顺畅地朝向泄压机构223流动,以便于泄压机构223及时泄压,进而提高电池单体20的安全性。

需要指出的是,在电池组件23发生电化学反应产生大量气体时,电池单体20内的压力增大,电极组件23的极耳232可能会被气体带动而填充于第二通孔2411并从第二通孔2411凸出,但是,由于泄压机构223和第二通孔2411设置于第二连接部242的两侧,即使极耳232从第二通孔2411凸出,凸出的极耳232部分也会被第二连接部242阻挡而避免极耳232堵塞泄压机构223。
第一通孔2421和第二通孔2411在端盖221上的投影至少部分重叠,以便于电极组件23产生的气体能够快速流向泄压机构223。
请参见图10和图11,图10为本申请又一些实施例提供的端盖组件22与转接件24的装配示意图,图11为本申请又一些实施例提供的转接件24处于展开状态的结构示意图。根据本申请的一些实施例,第一连接部241还设置有第三通孔2412,第三通孔2412用于供电池单体20内部的气体通过,以使气体能够流向第一通孔2421,沿厚度方向X,第三通孔2412和第一通孔2421的投影不重叠。
第三通孔2412为设置于第一连接部241的通孔,第三通孔2412也沿第一连接 部241的厚度方向贯穿第一连接部241。第三通孔2412的开设,使得第一连接部241具有多个贯穿第一连接部241两侧的区域,气体能够快速穿过第一连接部241。
通过第一连接部241设置的第三通孔2412,以进一步减小第一连接部241对电极组成产生的气体的阻挡,提高气体穿过第一连接部241的顺畅性,便于气体快速流向泄压机构223。
根据本申请的一些实施例,如图11所示,转接件24处于展开状态时,第三通孔2412和第二通孔2411位于第一连接部241的沿转接件24的长度方向Y的两端。
当转接件24处于展开状态时,转接件24具有一定的长度,第一连接部241、第二连接部242和第三连接部243沿转接件24的长度方向Y依次分布。
如图7至图11所示,第一连接部241的中部设置有第五通孔2413,该第五通孔2413用于在电池单体20装配过程中与电极组件23的卷绕中心对应定位,同时,在电池单体20注入电解液时,便于电解液快速流向电极组件23。第三通孔2412和第二通孔2411位于第一连接部241的沿转接件24的长度方向Y的两端,可以为,第三通孔2412和第二通孔2411沿第五通孔2413的中心轴线对称分布,换句话说,第三通孔2412到第五通孔2413的中心轴线的距离可以与第二通孔2411到第五通孔2413的中心轴线的距离相等。

第一连接部241在端盖221上的投影位于电极组件23在端盖221上的投影内,可以为第一连接部241在端盖221上的投影的面积小于电极组件23在端盖221上的投影的面积。可选地,第一连接部241在端盖221上的投影位于端面2311在端盖221上的投影内。
第一连接部241在端盖221上的投影位于电极组件23在端盖221上的投影内,使得第一连接部241不会完全遮挡端面2311,以便于电极组件23产生的气体能够在第一连接部241未覆盖端面2311的区域流向泄压机构223,减小第一连接部241对气体的阻挡。
根据本申请的一些实施例,第一连接部241、第二连接部242及第三连接部243一体成型。
第一连接部241、第二连接部242及第三连接部243一体成型,换句话说,转接件24一体成型,在装配电池单体20时,转接件24折弯从而形成沿厚度方向X依次折叠的第一连接部241、第二连接部242和第三连接部243。第一连接部241相对于 第二连接部242折弯的方向与第三连接部243相对于第二连接部242折弯的方向相反,以使得第一连接部241和第三连接部243位于第二连接部242的厚度方向X的两侧。
