Description

端盖、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、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，例如应用在手机、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。
电池单体作为储能元件，一般通过电极组件和电解液发生化学反应，从而输出电能。在电池单体中，端盖的抗冲击能力直接影响电池单体的使用寿命。因此，如何提高端盖的抗冲击能力是电池技术中一个亟待解决的问题。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供一种端盖、电池单体、电池及用电设备，能够有效提高端盖的抗冲击能力。
第一方面，本申请实施例提供一种端盖，端盖包括盖本体和泄压槽，泄压槽设置于盖本体，泄压槽界定出泄压区；其中，泄压区的长度方向与盖本体的宽度方向一致。
上述技术方案中，泄压区的长度方向与盖本体的宽度方向一致，在端盖内侧受到电池单体内部的压力时，端盖在泄压槽的短边位置为应力集中区域，在端盖外侧受到冲击力时，端盖在泄压槽的长边位置为应力集中区域，从而使得端盖在两种不同的工况下应力集中区域不一致，增强了端盖的抗冲击能力，提高电池单体的使用寿命。
在一些实施例中，沿盖本体的宽度方向，泄压槽到盖本体的边缘的距离与盖本体的宽度的比值为0.05-0.3。将泄压槽在盖本体的宽度方向到盖本体的边缘的距离与盖本体的宽度的比值设置在合理范围内，既可以降低泄压区因泄压槽到盖本体的边缘的距离过小而在靠近盖本体的边缘的位置出现应力集中，而导致端盖的起爆压力降低的风险，又可以降低泄压区因泄压槽到盖本体的边缘的距离过大造成泄压区在盖本体的宽度方向的尺寸较小，而影响端盖的泄压效率的风险。
在一些实施例中，沿盖本体的宽度方向，泄压槽到盖本体的边缘的距离与盖本体的宽度的比值为0.1-0.25。这样，进一步降低泄压区在盖本体的宽度方向靠近盖本体的边缘的位置出现应力集中的风险，并保证端盖的泄压效率。
在一些实施例中，沿盖本体的宽度方向，泄压槽到盖本体相对的两边缘的距离相等。这样，使得泄压槽在盖本体的宽度方向居中设置，便于泄压区在电池单体热失控时及时打开泄压。
在一些实施例中，盖本体局部沿盖本体的厚度方向凸出形成凸部，沿盖本体的宽度方向，凸部与盖本体的边缘存在距离；其中，泄压槽设置于凸部。盖本体局部沿盖本体的厚度方向凸出形成凸部，盖本体在其厚度方向上与凸部相对的一侧将对应形成凹陷空间，一方面，能够容纳电池单体内部的部件，有利于提升电池单体的能量密度，另一方面，能够提高端盖的抗弯强度，提高端盖的抗冲击能力。此外，由于泄压槽设置凸部，便于泄压区在电池单体热失控时及时打开泄压。
在一些实施例中，沿盖本体的宽度方向，凸部到盖本体的边缘的距离与盖本体的宽度的比值为0.005-0.25。将凸部在盖本体的宽度方向到盖本体的边缘的距离与盖本体的宽度的比值设置在合理范围内，保证凸部在盖本体的宽度方向与盖本体的边缘存在距离，便于端盖的固定。当然，凸部在盖本体的宽度方向与盖本体的边缘之间的距离也不会过大，使得凸部在盖本体的宽度方向上的具有较大的尺寸，能够在盖本体上布置大尺寸的泄压槽，保证端盖的泄压效率。
在一些实施例中，沿盖本体的宽度方向，凸部到盖本体相对的两边缘的距离相等。使得凸部在盖本体的宽度方向上居中设置，能够进一步提高端盖的抗弯强度。
在一些实施例中，凸部凸出于盖本体的一端设有凹部，泄压槽设置于凹部的底面。能够有效降低泄压槽的成型难度。
在一些实施例中，沿盖本体的宽度方向，泄压槽到盖本体的边缘的距离与凹部到盖本体的边缘的距离之差为1-10mm。使得泄压槽与凹部的侧壁在盖本体的宽度方向上存在一定的距离，降低泄压槽的制造难度。当然，泄压槽与凹部的侧壁在盖本体的宽度方向上的距离也不会过大，使得泄压区在盖本体的宽度方向具有较大的尺寸，提高端盖的泄压效率。
在一些实施例中，泄压槽为沿封闭轨迹延伸的封闭槽。这样，在泄压区打开后，盖本体能够在对应泄压区的位置形成较大的开口部，提高泄压效率。
在一些实施例中，泄压槽包括首尾依次连接的第一槽段、第二槽段、第三槽段和第四槽段；沿盖本体的长度方向，第一槽段与第三槽段相对设置，第一槽段与第三槽段之间的最大距离为第一距离；沿盖本体的宽度方向，第二槽段与第四槽段相对设置，第二槽段与第四槽段之间的最小距离为第二距离；其中，第二距离大于第一距离。这种结构的泄压槽界定出来的泄压区具有较大的泄压面积，结构简单，易于成型制造。
在一些实施例中，第二槽段和第四槽段为圆弧槽；和/或，第一槽段和第三槽段为沿盖本体的宽度方向延伸的直线槽。第二槽段和第四槽段为圆弧槽，盖本体在第二槽段的中间位置和第四槽段的中间位置形成薄弱位置，薄弱位置为泄压区的最先开启位置，使得泄压区在电池单体内部达到起爆压力时能够及时打开。第一槽段和第三槽段均为沿盖本体的宽度方向延伸的直线槽，使得第一槽段和第三槽段平行设置，盖本体沿着第二槽段和第四槽段裂开后，能够更为容易地沿着第一槽段和第三槽段打开，提高泄压区的打开速率，实现快速泄压。
在一些实施例中，沿盖本体的长度方向，泄压槽到盖本体相对的两边缘的距离相等。使得泄压槽在盖本体的长度方向居中设置，便于泄压区在电池单体热失控时及时打开泄压。

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，电极组件由正极片、负极片和隔离膜组成。电池单体主要依靠金属离子在正极片和负极片之间移动来工作。正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，正极耳的数量为多个且层叠在一起，负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。
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，另外，还需要考虑电池的安全性。
对于电池单体来说，为保证电池单体的安全性，可以在电池单体的端盖上设置泄压结构，比如，在端盖上设置泄压槽，泄压槽限定出泄压区，在电池单体内部压力达到起爆压力时，泄压区打开，以泄放电池单体内部的压力，以降低电池单体爆炸、起火的风险。
发明人注意到，电池单体在使用一段时间后，在电池单体内部压力未达到起爆压力的情况下，端盖的泄压区也可能会出现异常打开的情况。
发明人进一步研究发现，端盖的泄压槽限定的泄压区一般为长条状结构，泄压区的长度方向与盖本体的长度方向一致。电池单体在实际工作环境中，其内部压力会随着环境温度的变化而变化，当温度升高时，电池单体内部的压力升高，端盖在电池单体内部的压力的作用下，端盖在泄压槽的短边位置为应力集中区。在电池单体外部受到冲击力的工况下，冲击力作用于端盖的外侧，端盖仍然在泄压槽的短边位置为应力集中区。也就是说，无论是端盖内侧受力，还是端盖外侧受力，端盖的应力集中区均在泄压槽的短边位置，端盖在泄压槽的短边位置容易被破坏，导致端盖的抗冲击能力不足。在电池单体内部的压力随着温度的变化长期交替变化以及电池单体长期受到外部冲击的情况下，端盖在泄压槽的短边位置容易出现疲劳现象，导致端盖在泄压槽的短边位置裂开，出现端盖的泄压区异常打开的情况，影响电池单体的使用寿命。
鉴于此，本申请实施例提供一种端盖，包括盖本体和泄压槽，泄压槽设置于盖本体，泄压槽界定出泄压区，泄压区的长度方向与盖本体的宽度方向一致。
在这样的端盖中，泄压区的长度方向与盖本体的宽度方向一致，在端盖内侧受到电池单体内部的压力时，端盖在泄压槽的短边位置为应力集中区域，在端盖外侧受到冲击力时，端盖在泄压槽的长边位置为应力集中区域，从而使得端盖在两种不同的工况下应力集中区域不一致，增强了端盖的抗冲击能力，提高电池单体的使用寿命。
本申请实施例描述的端盖适用于电池单体、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。
以下实施例为了方便说明，以用电设备为车辆为例进行说明。
请参照图1，图1为本申请一些实施例提供的车辆1000的结构示意图。车辆1000的内部设置有电池100，电池100可以设置在车辆1000的底部或头部或尾部。电池100可以用于车辆1000的供电，例如，电池100可以作为车辆1000的操作电源。
车辆1000还可以包括控制器200和马达300，控制器200用来控制电池100为马达300供电，例如，用于车辆1000的启动、导航和行驶时的工作用电需求。
在本申请一些实施例中，电池100不仅仅可以作为车辆1000的操作电源，还可以作为车辆1000的驱动电源，代替或部分地代替燃油或天然气为车辆1000提供驱动动力。
请参照图2，图2为本申请一些实施例提供的电池100的爆炸图，电池100包括箱体10和电池单体20，箱体10用于容纳电池单体20。
其中，箱体10是容纳电池单体20的部件，箱体10为电池单体20提供容纳空间，箱体10可以采用多种结构。在一些实施例中，箱体10可以包括第一部分11和第二部分12，第一部分11与第二部分12相互盖合，以限定出用于容纳电池单体20的容纳空间。第一部分11和第二部分 12可以是多种形状，比如，长方体、圆柱体等。第一部分11可以是一侧开放的空心结构，第二部分12也可以是一侧开放的空心结构，第二部分12的开放侧盖合于第一部分11的开放侧，则形成具有容纳空间的箱体10。也可以是第一部分11为一侧开放的空心结构，第二部分12为板状结构，第二部分12盖合于第一部分11的开放侧，则形成具有容纳空间的箱体10。第一部分11与第二部分12可以通过密封元件来实现密封，密封元件可以是密封圈、密封胶等。
在电池100中，电池单体20可以是一个、也可以是多个。若电池单体20为多个，多个电池单体20之间可串联或并联或混联，混联是指多个电池单体20中既有串联又有并联。可以是多个电池单体20先串联或并联或混联组成电池模块，多个电池模块再串联或并联或混联形成一个整体，并容纳于箱体10内。也可以是所有电池单体20之间直接串联或并联或混联在一起，再将所有电池单体20构成的整体容纳于箱体10内。
在一些实施例中，电池100还可以包括汇流部件，多个电池单体20之间可通过汇流部件实现电连接，以实现多个电池单体20的串联或并联或混联。汇流部件可以是金属导体，比如，铜、铁、铝、不锈钢、铝合金等。
请参照图3，图3为本申请一些实施例提供的电池单体20的爆炸图，电池单体20包括壳体21、电极组件22、端盖23、电极端子24和集流构件25。
壳体21是用于容纳电极组件22的部件，壳体21可以是一端形成开口的空心结构，壳体21可以是相对的两端形成开口的空心结构。壳体21可以是多种形状，比如，圆柱体、长方体等。壳体21的材质可以是多种，比如，铜、铁、铝、钢、铝合金等。
电极组件22是电池单体20中发生电化学反应的部件。电极组件22可以包括正极片、负极片和隔离膜。电极组件22可以是由正极片、隔离膜和负极片通过卷绕形成的卷绕式结构，也可以是由正极片、隔离膜和负极片通过层叠布置形成的叠片式结构。电极组件22具有正极耳221和负极耳222，正极耳221可以是正极片上未涂覆正极活性物质层的部分，负极耳222可以是负极片上未涂覆负极活性物质层的部分。
端盖23是封闭壳体21的开口以将电池单体20的内部环境与外部环境隔绝的部件。端盖23与壳体21共同限定出容纳电极组件22、电解液以及其他部件的密封空间。端盖23的形状可以与壳体21的形状相适配，比如，壳体21为长方体结构，端盖23为与壳体21相适配的矩形结构。端盖23的材质也可以是多种，比如，铜、铁、铝、钢、铝合金等。端盖23可以通过焊接的方式固定于壳体21。
电池单体20中，端盖23可以是一个，也可以是两个。若壳体21是一端形成开口的空心结构，则可以将端盖23对应设置一个。若壳体21是两端形成开口的空心结构，则可以将端盖23对应设置两个，两个端盖23分别封闭壳体21的两个开口。
电极端子24是电池单体20与其他部件相连，以输出电池单体20的电能的部件。电极端子24设置于端盖23上，电极端子24用于与电极组件22的正极耳221或负极耳222电连接。在电池单体20中，电极端子24可以设置为两个，两个电极端子24分别为正电极端子24a和负电极端子24b，正电极端子24a用于与正极耳221电连接，负电极端子24b用于与负极耳222电连接。在电池单体20中的端盖23为两个的实施例中，可以将正电极端子24a和负电极端子24b设置在同一端盖23上，也可以将正电极端子24a和负电极端子24b分别设置在两个端盖23上。如图3所示，在电池单体20中的端盖23为一个的实施例中，可以将正电极端子24a和负电极端子24b设置在同一端盖23上。
集流构件25为实现极耳与电极端子24电连接的部件。如图3所示，以电池单体20中的端盖23为一个，正电极端子24a和负电极端子24b均设置于端盖23上为例，正电极端子24a可以通过一个集流构件25与正极耳221连接，负电极端子24b可以通过另一个集流构件25与负极耳222连接。
请参照图4和图5，图4为图3所示的端盖23的轴测图；图5为图4所示的端盖23的俯视图。本申请实施例提供一种端盖23，端盖23包括盖本体231和泄压槽232，泄压槽232设置于盖本体231，泄压槽232界定出泄压区233，泄压区233的长度方向与盖本体的宽度方向Y一致。
盖本体231用于封闭壳体21的开口。盖本体231为长条状，可理解的，盖本体231的长度大于盖本体231的宽度。示例性的，盖本体231为长方形。
泄压槽232可以通过多种方式成型，比如，冲压成型、铣削成型等。泄压槽232可以设置于盖本体231面向于壳体21内部的表面，也可以设置于盖本体231背离壳体21的表面。以盖本体231为长方形平板结构为例，盖本体231在厚度方向具有相对的内表面和外表面，盖本体231的内表面面向壳体21的内部，盖本体231的外表面背离壳体21设置，泄压槽232可以设置于盖本体231的内表面，也可以设置于盖本体231的外表面。
泄压区233为盖本体231由泄压槽232界定出的部分，在电池单体20内部压力达到起爆压力时，盖本体231的泄压区233打开，以泄放电池单体20内部的压力。泄压区233打开后，盖本体231在对应泄压区233的位置可以形成开口部，电池单体20内部的排放物则可以通过开口部排出。泄压区233为长条状，可理解的，泄压区233的长度大于泄压区233的宽度。
泄压槽232可以是从盖本体231的表面沿盖本体的厚度方向Z凹陷的凹槽，泄压区233则为盖本体231由凹槽的内侧面界定出来的部分。以凹槽的内侧面为长方形为例，泄压区233为盖本体231由泄压槽232的内侧面界定出来的长方形部分。泄压槽232也可以是沿弯折轨迹延伸的线形槽，比如，弯折轨迹为U形轨迹，泄压区233则为盖本体231由弯折轨迹界定出来的U形部分；再如，弯折轨迹为长方形轨迹，泄压区233则为盖本体231由弯折轨迹界定出来的长方形部分。若泄压槽232为沿弯折轨迹延伸的线形槽，在电池单体20内部压力达到起爆压力时，泄压区233可以是以泄压槽232为边界打开，以泄放电池单体20内部的压力。
泄压区233的长度方向与盖本体的宽度方向Y一致，可理解的，泄压区233的宽度方向与盖本体的长度方向X一致。
在相关技术中，泄压槽232的长度方向与盖本体的长度方向X一致，在端盖23内侧受到电池单体20内部的压力时，由于泄压槽232在其宽度方向上的尺寸小于在其长度方向上的尺寸，端盖23在泄压区233的长度方向上的端部的位置(端盖23位于泄压槽232的短边的位置)为应力集中区；在端盖23外侧受到电池单体20外部的冲击力时，由于盖本体231在其宽度方向上的尺寸小于其长度方向上的尺寸，泄压槽232在盖本体的长度方向X的端部的位置更容易被破坏，故端盖23在泄压区233的长度方向上的端部的位置(端盖23位于泄压槽232的短边的位置)为应力集中区。故，无论是端盖23内侧受力，还是端盖23外侧受力，端盖23的应力集中区均在泄压槽232的短边位置，端盖23在泄压槽232的短边位置容易被破坏，导致端盖23的抗冲击能力不足。
而在本申请实施例中，泄压区233的长度方向与盖本体的宽度方向Y一致，在端盖23内侧受到电池单体20内部的压力时，端盖23在泄压槽232的短边位置为应力集中区域；在端盖23外侧受到冲击力时，泄压槽232在盖本体的长度方向X的端部位置更容易被破坏，则端盖23在泄压槽232的长边位置为应力集中区域，从而使得端盖23在两种不同的工况下应力集中区域不一致，增强了端盖23的抗冲击能力，提高电池单体20的使用寿命。
在一些实施例中，沿盖本体的宽度方向Y，泄压槽232到盖本体231的边缘的距离与盖本体231的宽度的比值为0.05-0.3。
如图5所示，沿盖本体的宽度方向Y，泄压槽232到盖本体231的边缘的距离为L 1，盖本体231的宽度为L，则0.05≤L 1/L≤0.3。
沿盖本体的宽度方向Y，泄压槽232具有相对的两端，盖本体231具有相对的两个边缘。可理解的，沿盖本体的宽度方向Y，泄压槽232的一端到盖本体231相临近的一个边缘的距离与盖本体231的宽度的比值为0.05-0.3，泄压槽232的另一端到盖本体231另一个边缘的距离与盖本体231的宽度的比值也为0.05-0.3。
沿盖本体的宽度方向Y，若泄压槽232到盖本体231的边缘的距离过小，泄压槽232容易受到盖本体231的边缘的影响，比如，盖本体231在边缘位置与壳体21焊接，容易造成泄压区233在靠近盖本体231的边缘的位置出现应力集中，降低端盖的起爆压力。沿盖本体的宽度方向Y，若泄压槽232到盖本体231的边缘的距离过大，泄压区233在盖本体的宽度方向Y的尺寸较小，影响端盖23的泄压效率。
在本实施例中，将泄压槽232在盖本体的宽度方向Y到盖本体231的边缘的距离与盖本体231的宽度的比值设置在合理范围内，既可以降低泄压区233因泄压槽232到盖本体231的边缘的距离过小而在靠近盖本体231的边缘的位置出现应力集中，而导致端盖23的起爆压力降低的风险，又可以降低泄压区233因泄压槽232到盖本体231的边缘的距离过大造成泄压区233在盖本体的宽度方向Y的尺寸较小，而影响端盖23的泄压效率的风险。
在一些实施例中，沿盖本体的宽度方向Y，泄压槽232到盖本体231的边缘的距离与盖本体231的宽度的比值为0.1-0.25。
可理解的，0.1≤L 1/L≤0.25。
在本实施例中，进一步降低泄压区233在盖本体的宽度方向Y靠近盖本体231的边缘的位置出现应力集中的风险，并保证端盖23的泄压效率。
在一些实施例中，沿盖本体的宽度方向Y，泄压槽232到盖本体231相对的两边缘的距离相等。
可理解的，沿盖本体的宽度方向Y，泄压槽232的一端到盖本体231相临近的一个边缘的距离与泄压槽232的另一端到盖本体231的另一个边缘的距离相等。
在本实施例中，泄压槽232在盖本体的宽度方向Y居中设置，便于泄压区233在电池单体20热失控时及时打开泄压。
在一些实施例中，请继续参照图4和图5，盖本体231局部沿盖本体的厚度方向Z凸出形成凸部2311，沿盖本体的宽度方向Y，凸部2311与盖本体231的边缘存在距离。其中，泄压槽232设置于凸部2311。
凸部2311为盖本体231局部向盖本体231的外侧凸出的部分，盖本体231的外侧即为盖本体231封闭壳体21的开口后背离壳体21的一侧。可理解的，沿盖本体的厚度方向Z，盖本体231局部沿背离壳体21的方向凸出则形成凸部2311。盖本体231上的凸部2311可以通过多种方式形成，比如，可以通过冲压的方式形成凸部2311。在对盖本体231进行冲压时，盖本体231的内侧将形成凹陷空间，并在盖本体231的外侧对应形成凸部2311。
凸部2311的形状可以与盖本体231的形状相同，比如，盖本体231和凸部2311均为长方形，盖本体的长度方向X与凸部2311的长度方向相同，盖本体的宽度方向Y与凸部2311的宽度方向相同。在端盖23上设有电极端子24的实施例中，电极端子24可以安装于凸部2311。
沿盖本体的宽度方向Y，凸部2311与盖本体231的边缘存在距离。也就是说，沿盖本体的宽度方向Y，凸部2311具有相对的两个边缘，盖本体231具有相对的两个边缘，凸部2311的两个边缘之间的距离小于盖本体231的两个边缘之间的距离，凸部2311的一个边缘与盖本体231相临近的一个边缘存在距离，凸部2311的另一个边缘与盖本体231的另一个边缘存在距离。
在本实施例中，盖本体231局部沿盖本体的厚度方向Z凸出形成凸部2311，盖本体231在其厚度方向上与凸部2311相对的一侧将对应形成凹陷空间，一方面，能够容纳电池单体20内部的部件，比如，电极组件22的极耳，有利于提升电池单体20的能量密度，另一方面，能够提高端盖23的抗弯强度，提高端盖23的抗冲击能力。此外，由于泄压槽232设置凸部2311，便于泄压区233在电池单体20热失控时及时打开泄压。
在一些实施例中，沿盖本体的宽度方向Y，凸部2311到盖本体231的边缘的距离与盖本体231的宽度的比值为0.005-0.25。
如图5所示，沿盖本体的宽度方向Y，凸部2311到盖本体231的边缘的距离为L 2，则0.005≤L 2/L≤0.25。
可理解的，沿盖本体的宽度方向Y，凸部2311的一个边缘到盖本体231相临近的一个边缘的距离与盖本体231的宽度的比值为0.005-0.25；凸部2311的另一个边缘到盖本体231的另一个边缘的距离与盖本体231的宽度的比值也为0.005-0.25。
在本实施例中，将凸部2311在盖本体的宽度方向Y到盖本体231的边缘的距离与盖本体231的宽度的比值设置在合理范围内，保证凸部2311在盖本体的宽度方向Y与盖本体231的边缘存在距离，便于端盖23的固定，比如，端盖23与壳体21的焊接固定。当然，凸部2311在盖本体的宽度方向Y与盖本体231的边缘之间的距离也不会过大，使得凸部2311在盖本体的宽度方向Y上的具有较大的尺寸，能够在盖本体231上布置大尺寸的泄压槽232，保证端盖23的泄压效率。
在一些实施例中，沿盖本体的宽度方向Y，凸部2311到盖本体231相对的两边缘的距离相等。
可理解的，沿盖本体的宽度方向Y，凸部2311的一个边缘到盖本体231相临近的一个边缘的距离与凸部2311的另一个边缘到盖本体231的另一个边缘的距离相等。
在本实施例中，凸部2311在盖本体的宽度方向Y上居中设置，能够进一步提高端盖23的抗弯强度。
在一些实施例中，请继续参照图4和图5，凸部2311凸出于盖本体231的一端设有凹部234，泄压槽232设置于凹部234的底面。
凸部2311凸出于盖本体231的一端即为凸部2311背离壳体21的一端，该端具有端面，凹部234从该端面沿盖本体的厚度方向Z凹陷，使得凹部234向靠近壳体21的方向凹陷。凹部234的底面即为凹部234在深度方向上位于最深位置的表面。
在本实施例中，对凹部234的形状不作特殊限制。示例性的，在图4和图5中，凹部234为长方形，即凹部234的内侧壁为长方形。凹部234的长度方向与泄压槽232的长度方向一致，凹部234的宽度方向与泄压槽232的宽度方向一致。
对于电池单体20而言，为保证其内部压力达到起爆压力时，端盖23的泄压区233能够正常打开泄压，泄压槽232需要满足一定的深度要求。但直接将泄压槽232加工到较深的位置难度较大，并且，端盖23可能因加工泄压槽232时受到的压力过大，而出现端盖23强度不足的情况。
因此，本实施例中，通过在凸部2311上设有凹部234，并将泄压槽232设置于凹部234的底面，在成型时，可以先在凸部2311上加工出凹部234，再在凹部234的底面上加工出泄压槽232，能够有效降低泄压槽232的成型难度，并降低端盖23因加工泄压槽232过深受到较大的压力，而造成强度不足的风险。
在一些实施例中，沿盖本体的宽度方向Y，泄压槽232到盖本体231的边缘的距离与凹部234到盖本体231的边缘的距离之差为1-10mm。
如图5所示，沿盖本体的宽度方向Y，凹部234到端盖23的边缘的距离为L 3，则1mm≤L 1-L 3≤10mm。
沿盖本体的宽度方向Y，凹部234具有相对的两端，泄压槽232具有相对的两端，盖本体231具有相对的两个边缘。可理解的，沿盖本体的宽度方向Y，泄压槽232的一端到盖本体231相临近的一个边缘的距离与凹部234的一端到盖本体231相临近的一个边缘的距离之差为1-10mm，泄压槽232的另一端到的盖本体231的另一个边缘的距离与凹部234的另一端到盖本体231的另一个边缘的距离也为1-10mm。也就是说，泄压槽232的一端到凹部234相临近的一端的距离为1-10mm，泄压槽232的另一端到凹部234的另一端的距离也为1-10mm。
在本实施例中，将泄压槽232到盖本体231的边缘的距离与凹部234到盖本体231的边缘的距离之差设置在合理范围内，使得泄压槽232与凹部234的侧壁在盖本体的宽度方向Y上存在一定的距离，降低泄压槽232的制造难度。当然，另一方面，泄压槽232与凹部234的侧壁在盖本体的宽度方向Y上的距离也不会过大，使得泄压区233在盖本体的宽度方向Y具有较大的尺寸，提高端盖23的泄压效率。
在一些实施例中，请参照图6，图6为5所示的端盖23处的局部放大图。泄压槽232为沿封闭轨迹延伸的封闭槽。
封闭轨迹即为首尾两端相连的轨迹，比如、长方形轨迹、椭圆形轨迹等。在以通过铣削的 方式成型泄压槽232为例，可以沿着封闭轨迹对盖本体231进行加工，以形成泄压槽232。
在本实施例中，泄压槽232为封闭槽，在泄压区233打开后，盖本体231能够在对应泄压区233的位置形成较大的开口部，提高泄压效率。
在一些实施例中，请继续参照图6，泄压槽232包括首尾依次连接的第一槽段2321、第二槽段2322、第三槽段2323和第四槽段2324。沿盖本体的长度方向X，第一槽段2321与第三槽段2323相对设置，第一槽段2321与第三槽段2323之间的最大距离为第一距离L 4。沿盖本体的宽度方向Y，第二槽段2322与第四槽段2324相对设置，第二槽段2322与第四槽段2324之间的最小距离为第二距离L 5。其中，第二距离L 5大于第一距离L 4。
第一槽段2321、第二槽段2322、第三槽段2323和第四槽段2324分别为泄压槽232位于四个不同方位的槽段。本实施例中，对第一槽段2321、第二槽段2322、第三槽段2323和第四槽段2324的形状不作特殊限制。比如，第一槽段2321、第二槽段2322、第三槽段2323和第四槽段2324可以是直线槽，也可以是圆弧槽。若第一槽段2321、第二槽段2322、第三槽段2323和第四槽段2324为直线槽，第一槽段2321和第三槽段2323可以平行，也可以不平行，第二槽段2322和第四槽段2324可以平行，也可以不平行。
沿盖本体的长度方向X，第一槽段2321与第三槽段2323之间的最大距离(第一距离L 4)即为泄压区233的宽度。当然，若第一槽段2321与第二槽段2322平行设置，第一槽段2321与第二槽段2322之间的最大距离与最小距离相等。
沿盖本体的宽度方向Y，第二槽段2322与第四槽段2324之间的最大距离即为泄压区233的长度。当然，若第二槽段2322与第四槽段2324平行设置，第二槽段2322与第四槽段2324之间的最大距离与最小距离相等。
第二槽段2322和第四槽段2324为泄压槽232的短边，第一槽段2321和第三槽段2323为泄压槽232的长边。在端盖23内侧受到电池单体20内部的压力时，端盖23在泄压槽232的短边位置为应力集中区域，即端盖23在第二槽段2322和第四槽段2324的位置为应力集中区域；在端盖23外侧受到冲击力时，端盖23在泄压槽232的长边位置为应力集中区域，即端盖23在第一槽段2321和第三槽段2323的位置为应力集中区域。
在本实施例中，泄压槽232界定出来的泄压区233具有较大的泄压面积，结构简单，易于成型制造。
在一些实施例中，请继续参照图6，第二槽段2322和第四槽段2324为圆弧槽；和/或，第一槽段2321和第三槽段2323为沿盖本体的宽度方向Y延伸的直线槽。
第二槽段2322和第四槽段2324可以向相同的方向弯曲，也可以向相反的方向弯曲。第二槽段2322和第四槽段2324可以向彼此靠近的方向弯曲，第二槽段2322的圆心和第四槽段2324的圆心位于泄压区233外；第二槽段2322和第四槽段2324也可以向彼此远离的方向弯曲，第二槽段2322的圆心和第四槽段2324的圆心位于泄压区233内。
示例性的，在图6中，第二槽段2322和第四槽段2324向彼此远离的方向弯曲，第一槽段2321和第三槽段2323为沿盖本体的宽度方向Y延伸的直线槽，第一槽段2321和第三槽段2323均与第二槽段2322相切，且第一槽段2321和第三槽段2323均与第四槽段2324相切，沿盖本体的宽度方向Y，第二槽段2322的中间位置到第四槽段2324的中间位置的距离即为第二槽段2322与第四槽段2324之间的最大距离，第一槽段2321的长度即为第二槽段2322与第四槽段2324之间的最小距离(第二距离L 5)。
在本实施例中，第二槽段2322和第四槽段2324为圆弧槽，盖本体231在第二槽段2322的中间位置和第四槽段2324的中间位置形成薄弱位置，薄弱位置为泄压区233的最先开启位置，使得泄压区233在电池单体20内部达到起爆压力时能够及时打开。第一槽段2321和第三槽段2323均为沿盖本体的宽度方向Y延伸的直线槽，使得第一槽段2321和第三槽段2323平行设置，盖本体231沿着第二槽段2322和第四槽段2324裂开后，能够更为容易地沿着第一槽段2321和第三槽段2323打开，提高泄压区233的打开速率，实现快速泄压。
在一些实施例中，沿盖本体的长度方向X，泄压槽232到盖本体231相对的两边缘的距离相等。
可理解的，沿盖本体的长度方向X，泄压槽232的一端到盖本体231相临近的一个边缘的距离等于泄压槽232的另一端到盖本体231的另一个边缘的距离。以第一槽段2321和第三槽段2323为沿盖本体的宽度方向Y延伸的直线槽为例，沿盖本体的长度方向X，第一槽段2321到盖本体231相临近的一个边缘的距离等于第三槽段2323到盖本体231的另一个边缘的距离。
本实施例中，泄压槽232在盖本体的长度方向X居中设置，便于泄压区233在电池单体20热失控时及时打开泄压。

端盖23设置于电池单体20面向底壁的一侧，使得电池单体20处于倒置状态。
