为了使本申请的目的、技术方案及优点更加清楚明白,以下结合附图及实施例,对本申请进行进一步详细说明。应当理解,此处所描述的具体实施例仅仅用以解释本申请,为本申请的较佳实施例,并非依此限制本申请的保护范围,故:凡依本申请的结构、形状、原理所做的等效变化,均应涵盖于本申请的保护范围之内。
除非另有定义,本文所使用的所有的技术和科学术语与属于本申请的技术领域的技术人员通常理解的含义相同;本文中在申请的说明书中所使用的术语只是为了描述具体的实施例的目的,不是旨在于限制本申请;本申请的说明书和权利要求书及附图说明中的术语“包括”和“具有”以及它们的任何变形,意图在于覆盖不排他的包含。
在本文中提及“实施例”意味着,结合实施例描述的特定特征、结构或特性可以包含在本申请的至少一个实施例中。在说明书中的各个位置出现该短语“实施例”并不一定均是指相同的实施例,也不是与其它实施例互斥的独立 的或备选的实施例。本领域技术人员显式地和隐式地理解的是,本文所描述的实施例可以与其它实施例相结合。
本文中术语“和/或”,仅仅是一种描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B这三种情况。另外,本文中字符“/”,一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。
此外,本申请的说明书和权利要求书或上述附图中的术语“第一”、“第二”等是用于区别不同对象,而不是用于描述特定顺序,可以明示或者隐含地包括一个或者更多个该特征。
在本申请的描述中,除非另有说明,“多个”的含义是指两个以上(包括两个),同理,“多组”指的是两组以上(包括两组)。
在本申请的描述中,需要说明的是,除非另有明确的规定和限定,术语“安装”、“相连”、“连接”应做广义理解,例如,机械结构的“相连”或“连接”可以是指物理上的连接,例如,物理上的连接可以是固定连接,例如通过固定件固定连接,例如通过螺丝、螺栓或其它固定件固定连接;物理上的连接也可以是可拆卸连接,例如相互卡接或卡合连接;物理上的连接也可以是一体地连接,例如,焊接、粘接或一体成型形成连接进行连接。电路结构的“相连”或“连接”除了可以是指物理上的连接,还可以是指电连接或信号连接,例如,可以是直接相连,即物理连接,也可以通过中间至少一个元件间接相连,只要达到电路相通即可,还可以是两个元件内部的连通;信号连接除了可以通过电路进行信号连接外,也可以是指通过媒体介质进行信号连接,例如,无线电波。对于本领域的普通技术人员而言,可以具体情况理解上述术语在本申请实施例中的具体含义。
为了在以下实施例中清楚地描述各个方位,可以使用一些方位用词,例如,如图1-D中的坐标系统对电池的各个方位方向进行了定义,x方向表示电池单体400的长度方向,y方向在水平面内与x方向垂直,表示电池单 体400的宽度方向,z方向垂直于x方向和y方向,表示电池的高度方向。此外,上述描述的x方向、y方向以及z方向等用于说明本实施例的电池的各构件的操作和构造的指示方向的表述不是绝对的而是相对的,且尽管当电池的各构件处于图中所示的位置时这些指示是恰当的,但是当这些位置改变时,这些方向应有不同的解释,以对应改变。
基于相同的方位理解,在本申请的描述中,术语“中心”、“纵向”、“横向”、“长度”、“宽度”、“厚度”、“上”、“下”、“前”、“后”、“左”、“右”、“竖直”、“水平”、“顶”、“底”、“内”、“外”、“顺时针”、“逆时针”、“轴向”、“径向”、“周向”等指示的方位或位置关系为基于附图所示的方位或位置关系,仅是为了便于描述本申请和简化描述,而不是指示或暗示所指的装置或元件必须具有特定的方位、以特定的方位构造和操作,因此不能理解为对本申请的限制。
可充电电池可以称为二次电池或动力电池,目前,使用比较广泛的可充电电池为锂电池,例如,锂硫电池、钠锂离子电池或镁离子电池,但不局限于此。为描述方便,本文中可以将可充电电池统称为电池。
电池的安全特性是衡量电池的一个重要特性,在使用或充电时需要尽可能保证电池的安全性。
电池一般由多个电池单体连接组合而成,当电池单体发生外部短路、过充、针刺、平板冲击等等情况时,电池单体由于过热而容易发生热失控。发生热失控时,该电池单体内部会产生排放物,该排放物包含高温烟气(严重者产生明火)和挥发的高温电解液等物质,这些排放物在排放的过程中会发生热扩散,从而导致其他电池单体发生热失控,甚至还会引发电池爆炸等事故。
为了预测由于过热而引起爆炸发生的可能性,避免电池单体发生热失控,目前一种有效的方案,是设置温感结构,以实时监测电池单体的温度,以在电池单体的温度过高时或者达到阈值时及时报警提醒,减小电池单体过热情况发生的概率。
温感结构一般设置有温感芯片,温感芯片通常通过点胶、焊接、结构固定等方式直接集成到汇流条、电压采集设备或者热管理管路等部位上。上述连接方式属于一次性连接方式,不具有可更换性、通用性差、质量可靠性低。温感芯片一旦在生命周期内发生失效,很容易造成电池单体,乃至整个电池的报废,甚至还会引发安全问题。另外,温感结构与信号传输设备也是一体设计,很容易由于某一个设备损坏的时候,其他设备,甚至电池也发生报废的情况。
有鉴于此,本申请提供一种电池,改变温感芯片在电池单体上的连接方式,以及温感芯片与信号传输设备的连接方式,以提高温感芯片的可更换性,以及与温感芯片连接的信号传输设备的可更换性和兼容性,以利于电池的维修以及故障设备的更换,降低电池的成本,减小电池发生整体报废的概率。
本申请实施例中的电池可应用于各种能够以电能提供动力来源的用电装置。此处的用电装置可以但并非仅限于电动汽车、电动列车、电动自行车、高尔夫球车、无人机或轮船等。并且,用电装置可为仅使用电池提供动力的装置,也可为混合动力型装置。电池为用电装置提供电能,并通过电机带动电动装置行进。
例如,如图1-A所示,为本申请一实施例的一种用电装置的结构示意图,用电装置可以为汽车,汽车可以为燃油汽车、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。汽车包括电池200、控制器210和马达220。电池200用于向控制器210和马达220供电,作为汽车的操作电源和驱动电源,例如,电池200用于汽车的启动、导航和运行时的工作用电需求。例如,电池200向控制器210供电,控制器210控制电池200向马达220供电,马达220接收并使用电池200的电力作为汽车的驱动电源,替代或部分地替代燃油或天然气为汽车提供驱动动力。
为了使得电池达到较高的功能以满足使用需求,电池200可以包括相 互电连接的多个电池模块,如图1-B所示,电池200包括第一箱体201、第二箱体202和多个电池模块300,其中,第一箱体201和第二箱体202相互扣合,多个电池模块300排布在第一箱体201和第二箱体202围合形成的空间内。在一些实施例中,第一箱体201和第二箱体202密封连接。
如图1-C所示,电池模块300包括多个电池单体400,多个电池单体400可以通过串联、并联或混联的方式电连接以实现较大的电流或电压,其中,混联是指串联和并联的组合。例如,如图1-C所示,电池单体400可立放,电池单体400的高度方向与z向一致,电池单体400的长度方向与x向一致,多个电池单体400沿其宽度方向并排设置在y向上;或者,电池单体400可以平放,电池单体400的宽度方向与z向一致,电池单体400的长度方向与x向一致,多个电池单体400沿z向可以堆叠至少一层,每一层包括沿x向间隔设置的多个电池单体400。

本申请实施例中,为了实现引出端子620的另一端与信号传输部件700在连接端口610处的可拆卸连接。该引出端子620的另一端可以具有弹性连接部621,该弹性连接部621可以设置在连接端口610处,信号传输部件700通过插入连接端口610处,与弹性连接部621实现可拆卸连接。
在一些实施例中,信号传输部件700与弹性连接部621的可拆卸连接方式可以有多种,例如,卡接连接等。
在本申请实施例中,弹性连接部621是通过将引出端子620的另一端进行弯折而形成的。如图3所示。该弹性连接部621在具体形成过程中,可以是引出端子620的另一端朝引出端子620的一侧面弯折,并与该侧面保持预设距离,以使引出端子620的另一端具有一定的弹性活动空间,从而可以实现信号传输部件700与弹性连接部621的可拆卸连接。其中,预设距离的大小可以根据引出端子620的尺寸和材质来确定,此处不作特殊限定。
在一些实施例中,弹性连接部621可以是引出端子620的另一端朝引出端子620的一侧面弯折一次获得,参照图3所示;也可以是如图10中所示的,弹性连接部621是引出端子620的另一端朝引出端子620的一侧面弯折多次获得的。本申请实施例对于弯折的次数不作特殊限定。
在一些实施例中,该引出端子620可以是由薄片金属等制成的具有一定弹性的结构,以确保弹性连接部621可以在一定的空间内弹性活动。如图3所示,当引出端子620和信号传输部件700均插入连接端口610的时候,具有一定弹性的弹性连接部621会将信号传输部件700顶在连接端口610中。而在需要拆卸信号传输部件700的时候,直接将信号传输部件700从连接端口610中抽出即可,弹性连接部621会根据所承受的力而发生相应的变形。本申请实施例对于引出端子620的尺寸和材质不作具体限定。
在一些实施例中,用于安装温度传感器500的传感器安装组件600的结构形式可以有多种。为了提高传感器安装组件600加工维修的便利性,本 申请实施例中,如图3所示,传感器安装组件600包括了相互连接的第一壳体630和第二壳体640,其中,第一壳体630用于设置温度传感器500,第二壳体640用于设置连接端口610,引出端子620则设置于连接端口610处。
在一些实施例中,可以根据实际需要来设置第一壳体630和第二壳体640之间的连接方式。如图10所示,第一壳体630和第二壳体640可以是一体成型结构,例如,通过一体注塑成型而成。并且,第一壳体630内设置有容纳温度传感器500的容纳腔,温度传感器500可以通过固定模具631固定在容纳腔内,也可以通过灌胶的方式固定在容纳腔内,温度传感器500的引脚501则朝向第二壳体640的连接端口610设置。在该连接端口610处,实现引出端子620的一端622与温度传感器500的引脚501的连接。其中,固定模具631的内部形状与温度传感器500匹配,固定模具631的外部形状与容纳腔匹配,并且,固定模具631可以采用过盈配合等方式实现与第一壳体630的固定连接。本申请实施例对此不作特殊限定。
本申请实施例中,如图3-图8所示,为了提高传感器安装组件600的可更换性,第一壳体630和第二壳体640之间还可以采用可拆卸连接的方式,在第一壳体630或其内部元件损坏时,只更换第一壳体630,在第二壳体640或其内部元件磨损时,可以只更换第二壳体640,从而可以降低维修成本。
在一些实施例中,第一壳体630和第二壳体640之间可拆卸连接的方式可以有多种,例如,多种卡接连接等方式。本申请实施例中,如图3所示,还可以包括导热件650,该导热件650主要用于将电池单体400的温度传递至温度传感器500,以增强导热性能,便于温度传感器500采集电池单体400的温度。
本申请实施例中,导热件650除了用于增强导热性能之外,还可以用于连接第一壳体630和第二壳体640。具体的,可以是第一壳体630与导热件650可拆卸连接,也可以是第二壳体640与导热件650可拆卸连接,或者是,第一壳体630和第二壳体640同时与导热件650可拆卸连接。
在一些实施例中,第一壳体630、第二壳体640与导热件650可拆卸连接的方式可以有多种。如图3和图5所示,导热件650上可以设置多个卡接孔651,在第一壳体630和第二壳体640上可以设置可卡入卡接孔651的卡接件652,从而可以实现第一壳体630、第二壳体640与导热件650的可拆卸连接。也可以通过胶粘等方式实现第一壳体630、第二壳体640与导热件650的连接。
或者,如图6-图8所示,可以将导热件650设置成具有容纳槽的结构,第一壳体630和第二壳体640可以直接卡设在容纳槽内,从而实现第一壳体630、第二壳体640与导热件650的可拆卸连接。为了便于第二壳体640上的引出端子620与外界连接,还需要在导热件650的一侧设置开口,以便于信号传输部件700与引出端子620连接。
为了对设置在具有开口的导热件650中的第一壳体630和第二壳体640定位,还可以在导热件650上设置定位卡边,或者,如图8所示,在导热件650上设置卡槽653,第二壳体640上设置一个可卡入卡槽653内的止挡部654。通过止挡部654与卡槽653的配合,可以防止第一壳体630和第二壳体640从导热件650中滑出。
需要说明的是,在实际使用过程中,除了使用导热件650外,也可以如图9所示,只保留第二壳体640,而将温度传感器500直接固定在电池单体400上,以实现温度传感器500与信号传输部件700的可拆卸连接。如此,还可以减小整个结构的尺寸,满足电池所预留空间大小。当然,图9中的温度传感器500可以通过在电池单体400上设置一或多个卡扣等结构而直接卡设在电池单体400上,以实现温度传感器500的可拆卸连接。其中卡扣的结构可以有多种形式,此处对于卡扣的形状不作特殊限定。
在一些实施例中,温度传感器500可以是水滴头式温度传感器、贴片式温度传感器等多种结构形式。可以根据温度传感器500的具体形状,在第一壳体630中设置安装或卡设温度传感器500的结构,或者,也可以采用胶 封或玻封等方式将温度传感器500直接固定在第一壳体630中。本申请实施例对于温度传感器500的结构形式,以及与第一壳体630的连接方式不作特殊限定。
本申请实施例中,第二壳体640主要用于设置连接端口610,可以采用直接在第二壳体640内刻制出贯通的连接端口610即可,此处对于具体的刻制过程不作赘述。
在一些实施例中,连接端口610的设置数量可以根据引出端子620的数量确定,在引出端子620有一个的时候,连接端口610只需要设置一个;在引出端子620有多个的时候,可以设置相应的多个连接端口610,且多个连接端口610可以间隔设置。例如,可以在传感器安装组件600上设置分隔部,具体可以将分隔部设置在连接端口610处,达到隔离相邻的引出端子620的目的。也可以直接在第二壳体640内刻制多个间隔设置的连接端口610,同样可以达到隔离相邻的引出端子620的目的。
在一些实施例中,信号传输部件700的结构也可以有多种形式。本申请实施例中,如图4和图7所示,信号传输部件700包括相互连接的接触端701和传输端702;其中,接触端701用于与引出端子620接触连接;传输端702则用于传输电池单体400的温度信号。
在一些实施例中,接触端701插入连接端口610中即可实现与引出端子620的连接。接触端701的结构形式可以根据引出端子620的数量来确定,可以将接触端701的与引出端子620连接的一端设置成整体结构,也可以将接触端701的与引出端子620连接的一端设置成分叉结构,每个叉对应一个引出端子620,从而将接触端701与引出端子620的连接相对隔离开来,避免相互之间的干扰。接触端701需要由具有信号传输功能的金属制成,传输端702则可以是导线、FFC(Flexible Flat Cable,柔性扁平电缆)、FPC(FlexiblePrinted Circuit,柔性电路板)或PCB(Printed Circuit Board,印刷电路板)等任何一种或其任意组合。
在一些实施例中,接触端701与传输端702的连接方式可以有多种,例如,压接、焊接、胶接等方式,也可以将接触端701与传输端702卡接连接,以利于拆卸和更换,本申请实施例对于接触端701与传输端702的连接方式不作特殊限定。
参照图11,示出了一种设置上述传感器安装组件600的电池单体400的结构示意图,其中,传感器安装组件600固定在电池单体400的顶部,信号传输部件700的接触端701与传感器安装组件600内的温度传感器500连接,信号传输部件700的传输端702则与电路板800连接,通过电路板800将所采集的温度信号转换为其他通讯信号而传输至外部设备。
另一方面,本申请还提供了一种用电装置,用电装置包括上述的电池200,电池200用于提供电能。其中,电池200的具体结构形式和工作原理已经在上述实施例中进行了详细说明,本实施例对此不再赘述。
综上,本申请实施例提供的用电装置,通过设置上述的电池,一方面,通过信号传输部件与传感器安装组件的可拆卸连接,有利于信号传输部件与传感器安装组件的分别独立设计、加工和维护更换。另一方面,通过传感器安装组件与电池单体可拆卸连接,可以在温度传感器发生故障需要检测或者更换的时候,直接将传感器安装组件从电池单体上拆卸下来,从而提高了温度传感器的可更换性和兼容性,以利于电池的维修以及故障设备的更换,降低电池的成本,减小电池发生整体报废的概率。
本申请上述各保护主题以及各实施例中的特征之间可以相互借鉴,在结构允许的情况下,本领域技术人员也可对不同实施例中的技术特征灵活组合,以形成更多的实施例。
以上对本申请所提供的一种电池和用电装置进行了详细介绍。本文中应用了具体的实施例对本申请的原理及实施方式进行了阐述,以上实施例的说明只是用于帮助理解本申请的方法及其核心思想。应当指出,对于本技术领域的普通技术人员来说,在不脱离本申请原理的前提下,还可以对本申请进 行若干改进和修饰,这些改进和修饰也落入本申请权利要求的保护范围内。
