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。而电池的内部温度是影响电池的安全性能的重要因素之一,需要获取到电池内部准确的温度信息,以更好的保证电池的安全性能。
电池包括层叠设置的多个电芯,为了获取电池的温度信息,在电芯的侧面或相邻的两个电芯之间设置温度采集件,温度采集件可以与电芯接触。
设置在两个电芯之间的温度采集件为水滴状时,结合水滴状的温度采集件的结构形状,无论是软包电芯还是钢壳电芯,水滴状的温度采集件放在相邻的电芯之间会损失电芯膨胀空间以及温度采集件有挤压到电芯的风险,从而可能导致电芯表面破损漏液以及在使用过程造成电池内短路。此外,水滴状温度采集件由于外表包裹有树脂,在大倍率快速温升条件下,温度响应速度慢,无法准确反馈电池的真实温度。
基于上述考虑,为了缓解温度采集件对电芯膨胀控制的影响和获取电池准确的温度值,发明人设计了一种电池,电池包括层叠设置的第一电芯和第二电芯、缓冲件以及温度采集件,缓冲件设置于第一电芯和第二电芯之间和/或设置于第一电芯背离第二电芯的一侧;温度采集件设置于第 一电芯和缓冲件之间,用于采集第一电芯的温度;温度采集件为片状结构。
温度采集件为片状结构,设置在第一电芯和缓冲件之间,能够减小对第一电芯和缓冲件之间的空间的占用,降低对第一电芯膨胀空间的影响,从而降低温度采集件导致第一电芯的膨胀空间损失量,从而降低第一电芯表面破损漏液以及在使用过程造成电池内短路的风险,还能降低对电池的能量密度的影响。
片状结构的温度采集件还可以准确表征电池的温度,提高温度检测的可靠性,同时片状结构的温度采集件响应速度相比水滴状的温度采集件的响应速度更快,在大倍率条件下可以快速对电池的温度上升作出响应,提升电池使用的可靠性。
本申请实施例公开的电池包可以但不限用于电动两轮车、电动工具、无人机、储能设备等用电设备中。可以使用具备本申请工况的电池作为用电设备的电源系统,这样,有利于提高电源系统的充放电安全和用电设备的用电安全。
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电子设备、电动工具、电动交通工具、无人机、储能设备。其中,电子设备可以包括手机、平板、笔记本电脑等,电动工具可以包括电钻、电锯等,电动交通工具可以包括电动汽车、电动摩托车、电动自行车等。
如图1、图2、图3、图4所示,本申请实施例提供一种电池100,电池100包括层叠设置的第一电芯10和第二电芯20、缓冲件30以及温度采集件40;缓冲件30设置于第一电芯10和第二电芯20之间和/或设置于第一电芯10背离第二电芯20的一侧;温度采集件40设置于第一电芯10和缓冲件30之间,用于采集第一电芯10的温度;其中,温度采集件40为片状结构,温度采集件40的厚度方向平行于第一电芯10和第二电芯20的层叠方向X。
在一些实施例中,电池100还包括箱体50,箱体50形成有容纳空间。第一电芯10、第二电芯20、缓冲件30和温度采集件40均容纳于箱体50的容纳空间内。
电池100包括多个电芯,多个是指两个及两个以上。在电池100中,多个电芯之间可串联或并联或混联,混联是指多个电芯中既有串联又有并联。多个电芯之间可直接串联或并联或混联在一起以形成电芯模组;当然,也可以是多个电芯先串联或并联或混联组成电芯模组。
每个电芯可以为二次电池,二次电池包括锂硫电池、钠离子电池、镁离子电池、固态电池等,但不局限于此。电芯可呈扁平体、长方体或其它形状等。电芯的外壳可以呈现为硬壳形式,即电芯为硬壳电芯;电芯也可以呈现为软包形式,即电芯为软包电芯。
如图1所示,电池100可以仅包括第一电芯10和第二电芯20,即电池100仅具有两个电芯,这种实施例中,第一电芯10背离第二电芯20的一侧为箱体50的箱壁,第二电芯20背离第一电芯10的一侧为箱体50的箱壁。在这种实施例中,温度采集件40可以设置于第一电芯10与位于第一电芯10和箱体50的箱壁之间的缓冲件30之间。当然,温度采集件40也可以设置于第一电芯10与位于第一电芯10和第二电芯20之间的缓冲件30之间。
缓冲件30可以包括泡棉,比如EVA(Ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer,乙烯-醋酸乙烯酯共聚物)泡棉、CR(Neoprene,氯丁橡胶)泡棉等。缓冲件30还可以包括设置在泡棉沿层叠方向X两侧的胶层,两个胶层分别用于使缓冲件30与其两侧的结构连接,比如一个胶层将缓冲件30和第二电芯20相连,另一个胶层用于将缓冲件30和安装板60或薄膜70(图18中示出)相连。该胶层可以为硬质胶层,缓冲件30沿层叠方向X受到挤压后,仅有泡棉被压缩。泡棉的极限压缩量可以达到70%,即泡棉的初始厚度为M,泡棉被压缩到极限后,泡棉的极限厚度为0.3M。
缓冲件30的数量可以是一个或者多个。在缓冲件30的数量为一个的实施例中,缓冲件30可以设置于第一电芯10和第二电芯20之间,或者缓冲件30可以设置于第一电芯10和箱体50的箱壁之间,或者缓冲件30也可以设置于第二电芯20和箱体50的箱壁之间。在缓冲件30的数量为多个的实施例中,第一电芯10和第二电芯20之间、第一电芯10和箱体50的箱壁之间以及第二电芯20和箱体50的箱壁之间均可以设置缓冲件30。
电池100也可以包括三个及三个以上数量的电芯,这种实施例中,第一电芯10背离第二 电芯20的一侧可以是电芯,也可以是箱体50的箱壁。如图2所示,第一电芯10背离第二电芯20的一侧可以是箱体50的箱壁,温度采集件40设置于第一电芯10与位于第一电芯10和箱体50的箱壁之间的缓冲件30之间。如图3所示,第一电芯10背离第二电芯20的一侧是电芯,温度采集件40设置于第一电芯10与位于第一电芯10和第二电芯20之间的缓冲件30之间。
在电池100包括三个及三个以上数量的电芯且包括多个缓冲件30的实施例中,相邻的两个缓冲件30之间可以设置一个电芯,也可以设置多个电芯。多个缓冲件30的结构可以相同,也可以不相同。比如与温度采集件40对应的缓冲件30的结构可以不同于电池100其他位置的缓冲件30。图2中示出了电池100包括层叠设置的三个及三个以上数量的电芯和多个缓冲件30,相邻的两个缓冲件30之间设置一个电芯的情况。图3中,电池100包括层叠设置的三个及三个以上数量的电芯和多个缓冲件30,相邻的两个缓冲件30之间设置多个电芯的情况。
温度采集件40可以是具有NTC(Negative Temperature Coefficient,负温度系数)、PTC(Positive Temperature Coefficient,正温度系数)的热敏电阻、热电偶等,本申请在此不作限制。温度采集件40的数量可以是一个,也可以是多个。在温度采集件40为多个的实施例中,每个温度采集件40设置在缓冲件30和位于该缓冲件30沿层叠方向X的一侧的电芯之间。图1、图2、图3中示出了电池100包括一个温度采集件40的情况。
温度采集件40为片状结构,设置在第一电芯10和缓冲件30之间,能够减小对第一电芯10和缓冲件30之间的空间的占用,降低对第一电芯10膨胀空间的影响,从而降低温度采集件40导致第一电芯10的膨胀空间损失量,从而降低第一电芯10表面破损漏液以及在使用过程造成电池100内短路的风险,还能降低对电池100的能量密度的影响。片状结构的温度采集件40还可以准确表征电池100的温度,提高温度检测的可靠性,同时片状结构的温度采集件40响应速度相比水滴状的温度采集件40的响应速度更快,在大倍率条件下可以快速对电池100的温度上升作出响应,提升电池100使用的可靠性。
如图5、图6所示,在一些实施例中,缓冲件30设置有与温度采集件40位置对应的容置腔31。在一些实施例中,容置腔31沿层叠方向X贯穿缓冲件30。在另一些实施例中,容置腔31也可以是沿层叠方向X延伸的盲孔。
如图5所示,容置腔31可以延伸至缓冲件30的边缘,在缓冲件30的边缘形成第二开口32。
如图6所示,容置腔31可以是周向封闭的孔,使得容置腔31的设置不会影响缓冲件30的结构强度。
缓冲件30设置有与温度采集件40位置对应的容置腔31,沿层叠方向X,温度采集件40在缓冲件30上的投影的部分或者全部位于容置腔31内。图7、图8中示出了温度采集件40在缓冲件30上的投影的部分位于容置腔31内的情况。
温度采集件40对应容置腔31设置,在第一电芯10膨胀后,温度采集件40能够部分进入容置腔31内,容置腔31为温度采集件40提供避让空间,避免温度采集件40与缓冲件30挤压,降低因第一电芯10膨胀导致温度采集件40被挤压损坏的风险。
请参照图8、图9,在一些实施例中,温度采集件40包括本体41和两个凸起42,两个凸起42分别形成于本体41沿层叠方向X相对的两个表面,沿层叠方向X,两个凸起42中靠近缓冲件30的一者在缓冲件30上的投影位于容置腔31内。两个凸起42中靠近第一电芯10的一者与第一电芯10接触。
凸起42是温度采集件40用于采集温度的部件,以使温度采集件40能够响应和检测电池100的温度变化。
定义本体41沿层叠方向X的相对的两个表面分别为第一表面411和第二表面412,第一表面411面向缓冲件30设置,第二表面412面向第一电芯10设置,两个凸起42分别形成于第一表面411和第二表面412。
两个凸起42设置于本体41,以使沿层叠方向X,两个凸起42在本体41上投影重叠,可 以是部分重叠,也可以是完全重叠。在另一些实施例中,沿层叠方向X,两个凸起42在本体41上的投影可以完全错开。
沿层叠方向X,形成于第一表面411的凸起42的投影位于缓冲件30的容置腔31内,如图9所示,在第一电芯10膨胀时,形成于第一表面411的凸起42能够插入容置腔31内,以避免凸起42与缓冲件30形成挤压。其中,如图8所示,容置腔31的截面积应大于或者等于凸起42的截面积。在一些实施例中,容置腔31的截面积大于凸起42的截面积且小于本体41的截面积,沿层叠方向X,本体41在缓冲件30上的投影完全覆盖容置腔31,第一电芯10膨胀时,只有第一表面411上的凸起42插入容置腔31内。如图10所示,在另一些实施例中,沿层叠方向X,本体41在缓冲件30上的投影可以位于容置腔31内,则第一电芯10膨胀时,本体41也可以沿层叠方向X进入容置腔31内,避免本体41和缓冲件30形成挤压,进一步降低温度采集件40本体挤压损坏的风险。
两个凸起42分别形成本体41沿层叠方向X相对的两个表面,温度采集件40在凸起42对应位置的沿层叠方向X的尺寸大于温度采集件40的其他位置的尺寸,当第一电芯10膨胀时,设于第二表面412的凸起42最先被挤压,设于第一表面411的凸起42在缓冲件30上的投影位于容置腔31内,第一电芯10膨胀时则靠近缓冲件30的凸起42能够插入容置腔31内,避免靠近缓冲件30的凸起42与缓冲件30挤压,降低温度采集件40被挤压损坏的风险。
为了便于温度采集件40的安装在缓冲件30和第一电芯10之间,请结合参照图4、图11、图12,在一些实施例中,电池100还包括:安装板60,设置于第一电芯10和缓冲件30之间,安装板60具有安装槽61,安装槽61沿安装板60的厚度方向贯穿安装板60,安装板60的厚度方向平行于层叠方向X,温度采集件40设置于安装槽61内。
安装板60可以是固定于第一电芯10和缓冲件30之间,比如安装板60固定于缓冲件30面向第一电芯10的表面,或者安装板60固定于第一电芯10面向缓冲件30一侧。在本实施例中,沿层叠方向X,安装板60面向第一电芯10的一面设有粘胶,以使安装板60粘接于第一电芯10面向缓冲件30的表面。沿层叠方向X,安装板60背离向第一电芯10的一面也可以设有粘胶,用于实现安装板60和缓冲件30粘接或者用于实现安装板60和薄膜70(图18中示出)粘接。
安装槽61可以是周向封闭且沿层叠方向X贯穿安装板60的孔,如图11所示,安装槽61为沿层叠方向X贯穿安装板60两侧的矩形孔,使得安装槽61的设置不会影响缓冲件30的结构强度。
在一些实施例中,安装槽61也可以是其他结构形式。比如,如图12所示,在一些实施例中,安装槽61在安装板60的边缘形成第一开口62,以使温度采集件40能够从第一开口62插入安装槽61。
在一些实施例中,安装槽61的一端延伸至安装板60的边缘,并贯穿安装板60的该边缘,以形成第一开口62,温度采集件40能够从第一开口62插入安装槽61内,便于温度采集件40安装入安装槽61内。
温度采集件40设置于安装槽61内,形成于第二表面412的凸起42沿层叠方向X延伸出安装槽61,或者形成于第二表面412的凸起42面向第一电芯10的表面与安装板60面向第一电芯10的表面平齐,以使形成第二表面412的凸起42能够与第一电芯10接触,从而实现对第一电芯10的温度采集。形成于第二表面的凸起42可以沿层叠方向X延伸出安装槽61,形成于第二表面412的凸起42在层叠方向X上也可以位于安装槽61内。
安装板60的设置便于安装温度采集件40,且温度采集件40安装于安装板60的安装槽61内,避免温度采集件40和安装板60过多的占用第一电芯10和缓冲件30之间的空间,降低对电池100的能量密度的影响。
为了方便温度采集件40从第一开口62插入,请参照图13,安装槽61的靠近第一开口62的一端设置有引导斜面6112,引导斜面6112用于引导温度采集件40插入安装槽61。
安装槽61具有相对的两个槽壁611,每个槽壁611包括平直面6111和引导斜面6112,引 导斜面6112的一端与平直面6111相连,引导斜面6112远离平直面6111的一端延伸至安装板60的边缘。两个槽壁611的平直面6111平行布置,引导斜面6112相对平直面6111倾斜布置,两个槽壁611的引导斜面6112与平直面6111连接的一端的距离小于两个槽壁611的引导斜面6112远离平直面6111的一端的距离,以使两个槽壁611在第一开口62处的距离大于两个槽壁611在其他位置的距离。
在另一些实施例中,两个槽壁611也可以均为平行布置的平直面6111,则两个槽壁611任意位置的距离相同。
安装槽61的靠近安装板60的边缘的一端设置有引导斜面6112,以使安装槽61在安装板60的边缘上形成较大的第一开口62,以使温度采集件40能够顺利的安装入安装槽61内。
在一些实施例中,安装板60的硬度大于缓冲件30的硬度。
在本实施例中,安装板60的硬度大于缓冲件30的硬度,其中,安装板60可为硬质板。
在一些实施例中,安装板60为不可压缩板,安装板60受到沿层叠方向X的挤压时不会被压缩。安装板60可以为PC(Polycarbonate,聚碳酸酯)板、木板等。
在另一些实施例中,安装板60的材质可以是可压缩材质,在安装板60的硬度大于缓冲件30的硬度的情况下,第一电芯10膨胀时,在相同的挤压力的条件下,安装板60沿层叠方向X的压缩量小于缓冲件30沿层叠方向X的压缩量。
安装板60的硬度大于缓冲件30的硬度,不仅能够稳定支撑安装在安装板60上的温度采集件40,还能减小在第一电芯10膨胀时安装板60的压缩程度,或者避免在第一电芯10膨胀时安装板60被压缩。
在一些实施例中,安装板60为绝缘材质,能够降低电池100内部短路的风险。
在另一些实施例中,根据实际需要,在保证电池100内部不会因安装板60导致短路的情况下,安装板60的材质也可以是导体或者半导体材质。
电芯膨胀并非均匀膨胀,对第一电芯10而言,第一电芯10面向缓冲件30的一侧具有中央膨胀区域和外围膨胀区域,外围膨胀区域围绕于中央膨胀区域,中央膨胀区域沿层叠方向X的膨胀量大于外围膨胀区域在层叠方向X的膨胀量,则安装板60和缓冲件30与中央膨胀区域相对的部分相对于外围膨胀区域相对的部分被挤压更为严重。
基于此,请继续参照图11、图12,在一些实施例中,安装板60设有第一通孔63,沿层叠方向X,第一通孔63贯穿安装板60。
第一通孔63设置于安装板60的中央,第一通孔63对应第一电芯10面向缓冲件30一侧的中央膨胀区域设置,当中央膨胀区域膨胀时,第一通孔63允许中央膨胀区域沿层叠方向X第一通孔63内膨胀。第一通孔63可以是椭圆形孔、矩形孔、圆形孔等,图11、图12中示出了第一通孔63为矩形孔的情况。
第一通孔63设置于安装板60的中央,能够避让第一电芯10的中央膨胀区域,避免安装板60的设置使得第一电芯10的膨胀空间损失,有效降低安装板60干涉第一电芯10的膨胀,导致第一电芯10表面破损漏液的风险。
请参照图6、图7、图14,在一些实施例中,缓冲件30设有第二通孔33,沿层叠方向X,第二通孔33贯穿缓冲件30,第一通孔63在缓冲件30上的投影与第二通孔33至少部分重叠。
第二通孔33对应第一电芯10面向缓冲件30一侧的中央膨胀区域设置,当中央膨胀区域膨胀时,第二通孔33允许中央膨胀区域沿层叠方向X第二通孔33内膨胀。
在一些实施例中,沿层叠方向X,第一通孔63在缓冲件30上的投影的轮廓与第二通孔33的轮廓重合,以使第一通孔63在缓冲件30上的投影与第二通孔33完全重叠。在另一些实施例中,沿层叠方向X,第一通孔63在缓冲件30上的投影可以位于第二通孔33内,第二通孔33的轮廓围设于第一通孔63在缓冲件30上的投影的轮廓外周,以使第二通孔33的部分与第一通孔63在 缓冲件30上的投影重叠。在又一些实施例中,沿层叠方向X,第二通孔33位于第一通孔63在缓冲件30上的投影内,第一通孔63在缓冲件30上的投影的轮廓围设于第二通孔33的轮廓外,第一通孔63在缓冲件30上的投影的部分与第二通孔33重叠。
当然,在另一些实施例中,沿层叠方向X,第一通孔63在缓冲件30上的投影和第一通孔63部分重叠。
第二通孔33可以是椭圆形孔、矩形孔、圆形孔等,图6、图7、图14中均示出了第二通孔33为矩形孔的情况。
第二通孔33设置于缓冲件30的中央,且安装板60的第一通孔63在缓冲件30上的投影与第二通孔33重叠,能够避让第一电芯10的中央膨胀区域,避免安装板60和缓冲件30的设置使得第一电芯10的膨胀空间损失,有效降低安装板60和缓冲件30干涉第一电芯10的膨胀导致第一电芯10表面破损漏液的风险。
如图15所示,在一些实施例中,温度采集件40的最大厚度为h1,安装板60的厚度为h2,满足:h2<h1。
温度采集件40的最大厚度h1,是指沿层叠方向X,温度采集件40最靠近第一电芯10的表面和温度采集件40最远离第一电芯10的表面之间的距离。在本实施例中,温度采集件40的最大厚度h1为形成第一表面411的凸起42背离第一表面411的一面与形成第二表面412的凸起42背离第二表面412的一面之间的距离。
在本实施例中,安装板60为等厚板,安装板60的任意位置的厚度相同。在另一些实施例中,安装板60为非等厚板,安装板60的厚度h2为安装板60的最大厚度。
温度采集件40的最大厚度大于安装板60的厚度,则温度采集件40安装于安装槽61内后,温度采集件40能够沿层叠方向X延伸出安装槽61,以使温度采集件40能够与第一电芯10接触,从而使采集的温度信息更为准确。在本实施例中,温度采集件40的两个凸起42沿相互背离的方向延伸出安装槽61。
如图16所示,在一些实施例中,温度采集件40的最大厚度为h1、安装板60的厚度为h2、缓冲件30被压缩至极限的厚度为h3,满足:h2+h3≥h1。
缓冲件30被压缩至极限,是指缓冲件30到达压缩极限,第一电芯10沿层叠方向X进一步膨胀时缓冲件30的厚度不会继续减小的状态。
安装板60的厚度和缓冲件30被压缩至极限的厚度之和大于或等于温度采集件40的最大厚度,则即使缓冲件30被压缩至极限状态,温度采集件40不会被挤压,降低温度采集件40被挤压损坏的风险。
为了准确地获取第一电芯10的温度,需要将温度采集件40保持与第一电芯10接触的状态。当温度采集件40插设于安装槽61内,在第一电芯10膨胀的过程中,第一电芯10可能驱动温度采集件40在安装槽61内沿层叠方向X向靠近缓冲件30的方向移动,出现温度采集件40不与第一电芯10接触的状态,导致采集的温度信息不能表征第一电芯10的真实温度。
基于此,如图17、图18所示,在一些实施例中,电池100还包括:薄膜70,设置于安装板60和缓冲件30之间,薄膜70覆盖温度采集件40的至少部分。
薄膜70材质轻薄,柔性和弹性较好。薄膜70可以为PI膜(Polyimide Film,聚酰亚胺薄膜)或者其他材质。
在本实施例中,薄膜70固定于安装板60背离第一电芯10的一侧并覆盖温度采集件40,薄膜70可以覆盖温度采集件40的部分或者全部,以使温度采集件40能够始终与第一电芯10接触。
第一电芯10膨胀且驱动温度采集件40在安装槽61内沿层叠方向X向靠近缓冲件30的方向移动的过程中,薄膜70被温度采集件40拉伸发生弹性变形并抵抗回弹,温度采集件40在薄膜 70的弹性力的驱使下沿层叠方向X向靠近第一电芯10的方向移动,始终与第一电芯10保持接触。
薄膜70的厚度为h4,温度采集件40的最大厚度为h1、安装板60的厚度为h2、缓冲件30被压缩至极限的厚度为h3,满足:h2+h3+h4≥h1+h4。
在一些实施例中,薄膜70设有第三通孔71,沿层叠方向X,所述第三通孔71贯穿薄膜70,第一通孔63和第二通孔33在薄膜70上的投影与第三通孔71重叠。
第三通孔71对应第一电芯10面向缓冲件30一侧的中央膨胀区域设置,当中央膨胀区域膨胀时,第三通孔71允许中央膨胀区域沿层叠方向X第三通孔71内膨胀。
在一些实施例中,沿层叠方向X,第一通孔63在薄膜70上的投影的轮廓、第二通孔33在薄膜70上的投影的轮廓和第三通孔71的轮廓重合,以使第一通孔63在薄膜70上的投影和第二通孔33在薄膜70上的投影与第三通孔71完全重叠。在另一些实施例中,沿层叠方向X,第一通孔63在薄膜70上的投影和第二通孔33在薄膜70上的投影可以位于第三通孔71内,第三通孔71的轮廓围设于第一通孔63在薄膜70上的投影的轮廓和第二通孔33在薄膜70上的投影的轮廓外周,以使第三通孔71的部分与第一通孔63在薄膜70上的投影和第二通孔33在薄膜70上的投影重叠。在另一些实施例中,沿层叠方向X,第三通孔71位于第一通孔63在薄膜70上的投影和第二通孔33在薄膜70上的投影内,第一通孔63在薄膜70上的投影的轮廓和第二通孔33在薄膜70上的投影的轮廓均围设于第三通孔71的轮廓外,第一通孔63在薄膜70上的投影的部分和第二通孔33在薄膜70上的投影的部分与第三通孔71重叠。
薄膜70设置在缓冲件30和安装板60之间并至少覆盖温度采集件40,则薄膜70能够使温度采集件40始终保持与第一电芯10接触的状态,有利于温度采集件40获取准确的温度信息。
薄膜70固定于安装板60的方式有很多,比如,在一些实施例中,薄膜70与安装板60粘接或热熔连接。通过粘接或者热熔的方式实现薄膜70和安装板60连接,连接方式方便,且不会增大薄膜70和安装板60连接后的整体结构的厚度。
如图19、图20、图21所示,在一些实施例中,电池100还包括:电路板80和导线43,电路板80设置于第一电芯10和第二电芯20的沿第一方向的一侧,第一方向垂直于层叠方向X;导线43的一端连接于温度采集件40,另一端连接于电路板80的背离第一电芯10和第二电芯20的一侧;其中,电路板80设置有通道81,通道81沿电路板80的厚度方向贯穿电路板80,通道81被配置为供导线43穿过。
在本实施例中,通道81延伸至电路板80的边缘,以使通道81在电路板80的边缘形成第三开口82,便于导线43从第三开口82处进入通道81。在另一些实施例中,通道81也可以周向封闭的孔结构。
在本实施例中,第一方向垂直层叠方向X。第一电芯10包括电芯本体11和极耳12,极耳12从电芯本体11的端部111延伸出。第一电芯10的极耳12可以与电路板80电连接,电路板80靠近极耳12设置并与端部111相对设置。对卷绕式电芯,则第一方向与卷绕轴线方向平行,电路板80位于卷绕轴线方向的一端。对叠片式电芯,则第一方向与电芯的极片的堆叠方向垂直且极耳12沿第一方向从电芯本体11延伸出,电路板80位于第一电芯10沿第一方向的一端。
电路板80上设有供导线43穿过的通道81,导线43起到焊接转接线的作用,导线43从通道81穿过并连接于电路板80的背离第一电芯10和第二电芯20的一侧,能够避免片状结构的温度采集件40在组装过程中发生弯折造成温度采集件40的磷铜架受损,还可以减小导线43的延伸路径,减小导线43的长度,从而减少导线43对电池100的内部空间的占用。
在一些实施例中,沿电路板80的厚度方向,温度采集件40在电路板80上的投影与通道81至少部分重叠。
在本实施例中,沿电路板80的厚度方向,温度采集件40在电路板80上的投影位于通道81内,以使温度采集件40在电路板80上的投影与通道81完全重叠。在另一些实施例中,沿电路板80的厚度方向,温度采集件40在电路板80上的投影部分位于通道81内,以使温度采集件40 在电路板80上的投影与通道81部分重叠。
在本实施例中,安装槽61的第一开口62面向通道81设置,沿电路板80的厚度方向,安装槽61在电路板80上的投影位于通道81内,则温度采集件40可以在电路板80、安装板60、缓冲件30和薄膜70安装完成后依次经过通道81和安装槽61的第一开口62插入安装槽61内,便于安装温度采集件40。
温度采集件40在电路板80上的投影与通道81至少部分重叠,使得温度采集件40能够从通道81位置插入第一电芯10和缓冲件30之间,便于温度采集件40安装。
在一些实施例中,第一电芯10包括电芯本体11和从电芯本体11的端部111延伸出的极耳12,温度采集件40设置于端部111。
温度采集件40设置于端部111,是指温度采集件40设置于第一电芯10和缓冲件30之间并靠近极耳12设置。靠近极耳12的区域属于第一电芯10的膨胀量较小的外围膨胀区域。对第一电芯10而言,由于电流流过极耳12,极耳12处的温度一般高于电芯本体11的温度,因此第一电芯10的靠近极耳12的区域的温度更能表征第一电芯10的真实温度。
因此,温度采集件40设置于端部111,则温度采集件40靠近极耳12设置,不仅使得温度采集件40对应第一电芯10膨胀量较小的区域设置,降低温度采集件40被挤压损坏的风险,还使得温度采集件40能够采集更准确的温度信息。
本申请实施例还提供一种用电设备,用电设备包括用电本体41和上述任意实施例提供的电池100,电池100用于为用电本体41供电。
上述任意实施例的电池100的温度采集件40为片状结构,设置在第一电芯10和缓冲件30之间,能够减小对第一电芯10和缓冲件30之间的空间的占用,降低对电池100的能量密度的影响。片状结构的温度采集件40还可以准确表征电池100的温度,提高温度检测的可靠性,同时片状结构的温度采集件40响应速度相比水滴状的温度采集件40的响应速度更快,在大倍率条件下可以快速对电池100的温度上升作出响应,提升用电设备电池100使用的可靠性。
以上仅为本申请的优选实施例而已,并不用于限制本申请,对于本领域的技术人员来说,本申请可以有各种更改和变化。凡在本申请的精神和原则之内,所作的任何修改、等同替换、改进等,均应包含在本申请的保护范围之内。
