在本申请实施例的描述中，技术术语“第一”“第二”等仅用于区别不同对象，而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性或者隐含指明所指示的技术特征的数量、特定顺序或主次关系。在本申请实施例的描述中，“多个”的含义是 两个以上，除非另有明确具体的限定。

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。
本申请人注意到，现有电池单体在化成工序结束后，电池单体内部温度高达45-50℃，外界温度25℃，在此条件下对其进行密封钉焊接密封后，由于内外温差的存在，当电池单体内部温度降低到等于外界的25℃会产生压差，进而使电池壳体的大面及侧面变得更凹，使其平面度超规格。当电池壳体的平面度超规格时，后续对单个电池单体包绝缘蓝膜会导致包绝缘蓝膜优率降低，同时，模组段需要对单个电池单体进行组装，该过程会对电池单体侧面及大面涂胶(使单个电池单体之间连接更牢固，提高整个电池包的结构强度)，由于涂胶量固定，会导致模组端溢胶不良率增加或压胶面积不足的情况，因此如何解决电池单体因内外温差导致的压差而使电池壳体的大面及侧面的平面度超规格的问题成为本领域技术人员亟需解决的技术问题。
为了解决电池单体因内外温差导致的压差而使电池壳体的大面及侧面的平面度超规格的问题，申请人研究发现，电池单体化成工序结束后，将未封口电池单体设置在具有凸起结构的平面度调整夹具内，并将凸起结构与电池壳体的凹陷位置对应设置，再利用回氦装置对电池壳体内充氦气，以使电池壳体被充鼓且抵靠平面度调整夹具的整形空间内，同时凹陷位置与凸起位置相抵靠，减少了电池单体因内外温差导致的压差而使电池壳体的大面及侧面的平面度超规格，同时也满足了电池壳体一致性要求。
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装置中。可以使用具备本申请公开的电池单体、电池等组成该用电装置的电源系统。
本申请实施例提供一种使用电池作为电源的用电装置，用电装置可以为但不限于手机、平板、笔记本电脑、电动玩具、电动工具、电瓶车、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。
应理解，本申请实施例描述的技术方案不仅仅局限适用于上述所描述的电池和用电设备，还可以适用于所有包括箱体的电池以及使用电池的用电设备，但为描述简洁，下述实施例均以电动车辆为例进行说明。
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。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。
为了满足不同的使用电力需求，电池100可以包括多个电池单体11，电池单体11是指组成电池模块或电池包的最小单元。多个电池单体11可经由电极端子111a而被串联和/或并联在一起以应用于各种应用场合。本申请中所提到的电池包括电池模块或电池包。其中，多个电池单体11之间可以串联或并联或混联，混联是指串联和并联的混合。电池100也可以称为电池包。本申请的实施例中多个电池单体11可以直接组成电池包，也可以先组成电池模块，电池模块再组成电池包。
图2为本申请一些实施例提供的电池单体11的分解结构示意图。电池单体11是指组成电池100的最小单元。如图2，电池单体11包括有电池箱和电芯组件113，电池箱包括端盖111和电池壳体112。
端盖111是指盖合于电池壳体112的开口处以将电池单体11的内部环境隔绝于外部环境的部件。不限地，端盖111的形状可以与电池壳体112的形状相适应以配合电池壳体112。可选地，端盖111可以由具有一定硬度和强度的材质(如铝合金)制成，这样，端盖111在受挤压碰撞时就不易发生形变，使电池单体11能够具备更高的结构强度，安全性能也可以有所提高。端盖111上可以设置有如电极端子111a等的功能性部件。电极端子111a可以用于与电芯组件113电连接，以用于输出或输入电池单体11的电能。在一些实施例中，端盖111上还可以设置有用于在电池单体11的内部压力或温度达到阈值时泄放内部压力的泄压机构。在一些实施例中，在端盖111的内侧还可以设置有绝缘件，绝缘件可以用于隔离电池壳体112内的电连接部件与端盖111，以降低短路的风险。示例性的，绝缘件可以是塑料、橡胶等。
电池壳体112是用于配合端盖111以形成电池单体11的内部环境的组件，其中，形成的内部环境可以用于容纳电芯组件113、电解液(在图中未示出)以及其他部件。电池壳体112的端盖111可以是独立的部件，可以于电池壳体112上设置开口，通过在开口处使端盖111盖合开口以形成电池单体11的内部环境。不限地，也可以使端盖111和电池壳体112一体化，具体地，端盖111和电池壳体112可以在其他部件入壳前先形成一个共同的连接面，当需要封装电池壳体112的内部时，再使端盖111盖合电池壳体112。电池壳体112可以是多种形状和多种尺寸的，例如长方体形、圆柱体形、六棱柱形等。具体地，电池壳体112的形状可以根据电芯组件113的具体形状和尺寸大小来确定。电池壳体112的材质可以是多种，比如，铜、铁、铝、不锈钢、铝合金、塑胶等，本申请实施例对此不作特殊限制。
在本申请的一些实施例中，如图4至图6所示，电池壳体112的平面度调整夹具2210，包括模组2211，所述整形空间22113的内表面形成整形空间并且所述内表面上设有凸起结构22114，具有所述电池壳体112的未封口电池单体11能够进入或离开所述整形空间22113，所述未封口电池单体11设于所 述整形空间22113时，所述电池壳体112的凹陷位置1121与所述凸起结构22114对应设置，凸起结构22114用于对鼓起后的凹陷位置1121形成抵靠。
具体地，当未封口电池单体11进行整形时，将未封口电池单体11设置在整形空间22113内，并且将整形空间22113内的凸起结构22114与电池壳体112的凹陷位置1121对应设置，再对未封口电池单体11的凹陷位置1121进行鼓起操作，鼓起后的凹陷位置1121与整形空间22113的凸起结构22114相抵接，保持一定时间后，对电池单体11进行放气操作，原凹陷位置1121的形状与凸起结构22114相适配，抑制了电池壳体112的回弹，利用电池壳体112的平面度调整夹具2210，当对未封口电池单体11进行批量整形时，整形后的电池壳体112的平面度一致性较佳，使得包绝缘蓝膜及在电池壳体112的表面涂胶优率得到有效地提高。
需要理解的是，未封口电池单体11为化成工序结束之后的结构，并且在对未封口电池单体11进行鼓起时，可通过回氦工序对未封口电池单体11内充入氦气或者其它工序(例如充入电解液等)，使得未封口电池单体11的内部压力增大，从而使得电池壳体112的凹陷位置1121被鼓起，并利用整形空间22113的凸起结构22114为鼓起后的凹陷位置1121形成抵靠，从而实现对凹陷位置1121的整形操作。
整形空间22113用于容纳未封口电池单体11，并且整形空间22113的形状与未封口电池单体11的形状相适配，凸起结构22114形成在整形空间22113的内表面上，当未封口电池单体11在整形空间22113内设置到位后，凸起结构22114与未封口电池单体11的电池壳体112的凹陷位置1121对应设置，其中，凹陷位置1121与凸起结构22114之间存在间隙，在回氦装置2220对电池壳体112的内部充入氦气后，随着内部压强的增大，凹陷位置1121向外发生形变，使得凹陷位置1121被充鼓，直至凹陷位置1121与凸起结构22114之间的间隙消失，并且凹陷位置1121与凸起结构22114相抵靠，保持一段时间后，使得凹陷位置1121发生塑性形变，以提高电池壳体112泄压后凹陷位 置1121不回弹，使得凹陷位置1121的整形效果得到提高。
另外，设置凸起结构22114，利用凸起结构22114为整形过程中的电池壳体112提供抵靠的基础，以便凹陷位置1121能够充分与凸起结构22114相抵靠，在将电池壳体112的平面度调整至满足平面度规格的基础上，减小电池壳体112的形变量，防止出现整形后凹陷位置1121出现回弹的情况(由于电池壳体112通常具有一定弹性形变的能力，若电池壳体112在调整过程中形变量较大，极易发生回氦装置2220泄压后电池壳体112回弹的情况，从而造成凹陷位置1121的调整效果不可控而导致无法达到平面度规格的情况)。
应当理解的是，电池壳体112的凹陷位置1121不符合电池壳体112的平面度规格，整形过程中凹陷位置1121鼓起且与凸起结构22114相抵靠，整形后，凹陷位置1121的形状与凸起结构22114相匹配，同时凹陷位置1121的凹度与凸起位置的凸度相一致，将凸起结构22114的凸度设置在平面度的规格内，虽然凹陷位置1121整形后仍具有一定的凹陷，但是整形后的凹陷满足电池壳体112的平面度的要求，进而满足了后续加工工序的要求。
另外，电池壳体112的平面度一致性是指，当对电池壳体112进行批量处理时，每个电池壳体112的凹陷位置1121被处理后，均在电池壳体的平面度规格(该平面度规格根据所处理批次的电池壳体112的平均凹陷值进行设定)之内。
需要指出的是，凸起结构22114的形状根据需要进行设定，可以为规则形状(例如为圆形、条形或者方形等)，也可以为不规则形状(例如为锯齿状、闪电状或者多种形状的组合体等)，凸起结构22114的具体形状根据所需整形的电池壳体112的凹陷位置1121的形状进行设定。
另外，整形空间22113具有多个面，凸起结构22114可设置在整形空间22113的一个面上，也可设置在多个面上，具体根据所要整形的未封口电池单体11的电池壳体112上的凹陷位置1121进行具体设定，同时，凸起结构22114在一个面上的数量可以为一个或者多个，具体数量根据所需整形的电池壳体 112的一个面上具有几处凹陷位置1121进行设定。
在本申请的一些实施例中，如图4至图6所示，所述凸起结构22114的外表面为凸弧面。
具体地，化成工序后，由于内外温差的原因，电池壳体112的外表面通常会发生内凹的情况，并且内凹面通常为凹弧面，在整形空间22113对应凹陷位置1121的位置上设置凸起结构22114，并且将凸起结构22114的外表面设置成凸弧面的结构，从而提高了在对电池壳体112进行整形的过程中，电池壳体112与凸起结构22114具有更好的贴合度，进而减少了电池凹陷位置1121发生整形后回弹的情况，使得电池壳体112的整形效果得到了提高。
需要理解的是，电池壳体112在回氦装置2220的充气作用下,凹陷位置1121会向外侧发生形变而被充鼓，将凸起结构22114的外表面设置为凸弧面，能够使得凹陷位置1121充鼓过程中，凹陷位置1121能够充分抵靠在凸起结构22114上，并通过凸起结构22114的形状对凹陷位置1121充鼓过程中的限位，使得整形后的形状按照凸起结构22114的形状设置，从而使得整形后的电池壳体112的平面度在所需的规格范围之内，进而满足了后续工序的加工需求。
另外，将凸起结构22114设置成凸弧面，能够使得电池壳体112的凹陷位置1121充鼓整形的过程中，电池壳体112位于凹陷位置1121的本体能够充分与凸起结构22114相抵靠，防止出现应力集中而发生断裂的情况，进一步提高了电池壳体112的整形效果。
在本申请的一些实施例中，所述凸弧面的弧顶的凸起高度为预设高度，所述预设高度的取值在所述电池壳体112的预设平面度规格区间内。
具体地，凸起结构22114的外表面设置成凸弧面，当对凸起结构22114沿其高度方向进行剖切时，所形成的截面为抛物线形状，该抛物线形状具有最高位置，其中，该最高位置为凸弧面的弧顶，并且最高位置与整形空间22113具有凸起结构22114的面之间的距离为弧顶的凸起高度，将弧顶的凸起高度 设置为预设高度，并且将预设高度的取值设定在预设平面度规格区间内。
当利用平面度调整夹具2210对电池壳体112进行整形时，电池壳体112的凹陷位置1121鼓起且与外表面成凸弧面的凸起结构22114相抵靠，利用凸弧面为凹陷位置1121的鼓起提供基准，凸弧面的弧顶为凸起结构22114的最高位置，通过将凸起结构22114设置为预设高度且将预设高度设置在预设平面度规格区间内，从而提高了电池壳体112的凹陷位置1121鼓起后能够满足预设平面度规格的要求，使得后续工序中包绝缘蓝膜及在电池壳体112的表面涂胶优率进一步得到提高。
需要指出的是，在本申请的实施方式中，预设平面度规格区域可根据不同的电池壳体112进行设定，即对凸起结构22114的弧顶的凸起高度进行设定，以此来满足不同电池壳体112的整形需求。例如，当对一批具有同一型号的电池壳体112进行整形时，根据该批电池壳体112的凹陷位置1121的平均凹陷值对凸起结构22114的弧形的预设高度进行设定，以利用设定好的凸起结构22114对该批次的电池壳体112进行整形，使得该批电池壳体112整形后的凹陷位置1121均与凸起结构22114的凸起高度相适配，即该批电池壳体112均具有同样的凹陷结构，以此来提高该批电池壳体112的平面度的一致性。
在本申请的一些实施例中，如图5所示，所述预设高度为h，其中，h∈(0mm，2mm)。
具体地，在本申请中，外表面为凸弧面的凸起结构22114自整形空间22113的内表面拱起形成，其弧顶距离整形空间22113具有凸起结构22114的面的距离为预设高度h，通过将h的取值设定在0mm＜h＜2mm之间，从而在提高对电池壳体112整形的基础上，使得电池壳体112的平面度符合所需的平面度规格，进而满足后续生产的使用需求，从而提高了生产的顺利进行以及产量的良率。
需要理解的是，通过将预设高度h的取值范围设定在0mm＜h＜2mm之间，从而使得整形后的电池壳体112表面的凹陷形变量较小，防止因电池壳 体112凹陷导致内部空间受到影响，提高了电池壳体112的内部具有足够满足电芯组件13安装的空间。
需要指出的是，在本申请的实施方式中，预设高度可根据实际生产进行调整，其中，h的取值可以为0.1mm、0.2mm、0.3mm、0.4mm、0.5mm、0.6mm、0.7mm、0.8mm、0.9mm、1.0mm、1.1mm、1.2mm、1.3mm、1.4mm、1.5mm、1.6mm、1.7mm、1.8mm、1.9mm……。

具体地，第一模具22111和第二模具22112形成模组2211，并且整形空间22113形成在第一模具22111和第二模具22112之间，同时第一模具22111和第二模具22112中的至少一者设置有凸起结构22114。通过将模组2211设置成第一模具22111和第二模具22112两个部分，从而便于对模组2211的加工和制造，同时，便于模组2211加工过程中对凸起结构22114的布局及加工。
需要指出的是，将模组2211设置成第一模具22111和第二模具22112两个部分，整形空间22113形成在两个模具之间，两个模具所形成的整形空间22113可以为开放式结构，也可以为封闭式结构。

具体地，电池壳体112的壳体通常在两个相对设置的侧面上产生凹陷位 置1121(例如电池壳体112为矩形结构，电池壳体112的两个相对设置的大面和/或两个相对设置的侧面通常会同步出现凹陷)，在对电池壳体112进行整形时，将未封口电池单体11设置在第一模具22111和第二模具22112之间所形成的整形空间22113内，并且将两个模具上的凸起结构22114分别与电池壳体112上的凹陷位置1121对应设置，当利用回氦装置2220对电池壳体112进行充氮操作时，利用电池壳体112氦气压强的不断增大，使得凹陷位置1121被充鼓且分别抵靠在两个凸起结构22114上，从而能够实现对电池壳体112相对两个面的凹陷位置1121进行同步整形，进而提高了对电池壳体112的整形效果。
需要理解的是，在第一模具22111上的凸起结构22114的数量可以为一个、两个、三个……，并且，当第一模具22111上的凸起结构22114的数量为两个及两个以上时，其结构可以完全相同，部分相同或者完全不同，同时，当第一模具22111上的凸起结构22114的数量为两个及两个以上时，凸起结构22114的设置根据电池壳体112上凹陷位置1121进行具体设定。
另外，在第二模具22112上的凸起结构22114的数量可以为一个、两个、三个……，并且，当第二模具22112上的凸起结构22114的数量为两个及两个以上时，其结构可以完全相同，部分相同或者完全不同，同时，当第二模具22112上的凸起结构22114的数量为两个及两个以上时，凸起结构22114的设置根据电池壳体112上凹陷位置1121进行具体设定。

通过设置驱动机构2212，从而提高了未封口电池单体11便捷进入或者离开模组2211的整形空间22113，进而减少了因通道狭小导致未封口电池单体11的电池壳划伤的情况，使得电池单体11的品质得到有效地提高。
需要理解的是，如图4至图6所示，第一模具22111和第二模具22112所形成的整形空间22113为开放式空间(仅在第一模具22111的一侧和第二模具22112的一侧进行封闭)驱动机构2212驱动第一模具22111相对第二模具22112彼此远离，使得进入整形空间22113的通道尺寸被增大，此时未封口电池单体11通过通道进入到整形空间22113内时，较为便捷，不会出现因空间狭小产生模具与电池壳摩擦的情况，以消除电池壳被划伤的风险。
需要指出的是，在驱动机构2212的驱动下，第一模具22111和第二模具22112彼此靠近或者远离运动，即在驱动机构2212的驱动下，第一模具22111和第二模具22112进行直线运动，以此来实现对整形空间22113的打开或者关闭。

通过设置第一驱动件22121和第二驱动件22122，从而实现了对第一模具22111和第二模具22112的分别驱动，可通过分别通过第一驱动件22121和第二驱动件22122实现对第一模具22111和第二模具22112的分别驱动，进而提高了模具运动的灵活性。
需要指出的是，第一驱动件22121与第二驱动件22122的类型可以相同， 也可以不同，在本申请的实施方式中，第一驱动件22121和第二驱动件22122的类型完全相同，其中，驱动件的类型可以为驱动部件2221(电机、内燃机或者蒸汽机等)+变速组件(齿轮组或带轮组等)，还可以为伸缩缸(气缸、油缸或者电缸等)。

S2：控制未封口电池单体11进入平面度调整夹具2210的模组2211的整形空间22113内，并将所述未封口电池保持在所述整形空间22113内；
S3：控制回氦装置2220以预设参数向所述未封口电池单体11内充入氦气，直至使所述未封口电池单体11的电池壳体112的凹陷位置1121发生形变，并与所述整形空间22113的凸起结构22114相抵接。
具体地，将化成工序后的未封口电池单体11设置在平面度调整夹具2210的整形空间22113内，再利用回氦装置2220对未封口电池单体11进行充氦气操作，利用氦气对电池壳体112内部进行施压，使得电池壳体112被充鼓，凹陷位置1121充鼓后抵靠在整形空间22113的凸起结构22114上，从而实现对电池壳体112凹陷位置1121的整形操作，进而提高了对多个电池壳体112进行整形操作时的平面度一致性。
需要理解的是，对回氦装置2220设置预设参数，从而在提高对电池壳体112整形效果的同时，有效减少了因氦气对设置在电池壳体112内部的其它部件产生不良影响。
在本申请的一些实施例中，在控制未封口电池单体11进入平面度调整夹具2210的整形空间22113内，并将所述未封口电池单体11保持在所述整形空间22113内的步骤中，包括：
获取所述整形空间22113的预设位置是否具有所述未封口电池单体11；
根据所述预设位置具有所述未封口电池单体11，控制所述模组2211的第一模具22111和第二模具22112相互靠近，以将所述未封口电池单体11夹持在所述整形空间22113内，以使所述凸起结构22114与所述凹陷位置1121对应设置。
具体地，利用整形空间22113内具有未封口电池单体11为前提，在整形空间22113内具有未封口电池单体11时，运行模组2211，使得第一模具22111和第二模具22112对未封口电池单体11进行夹持，提高电池壳体112上的凹陷位置1121与整形空间22113内的凸起结构22114有效对应设置，从而提高了对电池壳体112整形过程中不发生位移，进而提高对电池壳体112的整形效果。
在本申请的一些实施例中，所述预设参数包括预设充气压力，其中，预设充气压力为P，P∈(10kpa，100kpa)；
并且/或者，所述预设参数包括充气时长，其中，所述充气时长为t，t∈ (2s，10s)。
具体地，设置预设参数，并控制回氦装置2220在预设参数下运行，在提高对电池壳体112整形效果的同时，能够有效降低回氦装置2220的能耗，进而降低生产制造的成本。
需要指出的是，当预设充气压力与预设充气时间呈反比设置，即当预设充气时间长时，预设充气压力小，反之预设充气时间短时，充气压力大，以此在提高对电池壳体112整形的同时，防止对电池壳体112内部其它部件产生不良影响(例如压力过大导致内部结构被损坏等)。
上述说明仅是本申请技术方案的概述，为了能够更清楚了解本申请的技术手段，而可依照说明书的内容予以实施，并且为了让本申请的上述和其它目的、特征和优点能够更明显易懂，以下特举本申请的具体实施方式。
现有技术中，电池单体11从化成工序出来后温度在45～50℃，当电池单体11到达密封钉焊接工位时所需时间一般为15min，15min后电池单体11温度依然在40～45℃，如图3所示，对电池单体11密封钉焊接封口后，电池单体11内外存在温差，当电池单体11内部温度降低到外界温度时会产生巨大压差，从而使电池壳体112的大面及侧面的平面度变凹，超出平面度规格。
本申请是在电池单体11化成后将未封口电池单体11设置在具有凸起结构22114的平面度调整夹具2210内，并将凸起结构22114与电池壳体112的凹陷位置1121对应设置，再利用回氦装置2220对电池壳体112内充氦气，以使电池壳体112被充鼓且抵靠平面度调整夹具2210的整形空间22113内，同时凹陷位置1121与凸起位置相抵靠，减少了电池单体11因内外温差导致的压差而使电池壳体112的大面及侧面的平面度超规格，同时也满足了电池壳体112一致性要求。
在本申请的一些实施例中，电池单体11化成后，经测量其凹度平均值为-0.5mm。以此数据定做平面度调整夹具2210，并且将平面度调整夹具2210的整形空间22113的凸起结构22114的最凸点的凸度(凸起结构22114的外表 面为凸弧面，凸弧面的弧顶的凸起高度)为0.5mm，使其在使用中与电芯贴合紧密。在最终目检处电芯测量平面度，该产品平面度规格：-0.6-0mm。
使用本申请中的平面度调整夹具2210对电池壳体112的平面度的调整效果相比于普通平面夹具而言具有明显改善,具体数据参见如下表1：
表1
通过表1相关数据可知,本申请中的夹具对于电池壳体112的平面度的调整效果明显优于平面夹具对电池壳体112的平面度的调整效果。
应当理解的是，使用本申请中的平面度调整夹具对电池壳体112的凹陷位置1121进行整形时，虽然整形后的凹陷位置1121的凹陷值较平面夹具整形后的凹陷位置1121的凹陷值大，但是其仍满足平面度规格的要求(-0.6-0mm)，而使用本申请中的平面度调整夹具对电池壳体112的凹陷位置1121进行整形的平面度一致性明显要高于平面夹具整形后的平面度一致性。
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。
