壳体23是用于配合端盖211以形成电池单体20的内部环境的组件,其中,形成的内部环境可以用于容纳电极组件22、电解液以及其他部件。壳体23和端盖211可以是独立的部件,可以于壳体23上设置开口,通过在开口处使端盖211盖合开口以形成电池单体20的内部环境。不限地,也可以使端盖211和壳体23一体化,具体地,端盖211和壳体23可以在其他部件入壳前先形成一个共同的连接面,当需要封装壳体23的内部时,再使端盖211盖合壳体23。壳体23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,壳体23的形状可以根据电极组件22的具体形状和尺寸大小来确定。壳体23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。
电极组件22是电池单体20中发生电化学反应的部件。壳体23内可以包含一个或更多个电极组件22。电极组件22主要由正极片和负极片卷绕或层叠放置形成,并且通常在正极片与负极片之间设有隔离膜。正极片和负极片具有活性物质的部分构成电极组件22的本体部,正极片和负极片不具有活性物质的部分各自构成极耳。正极极耳和负极极耳可以共同位于本体部的一端或是分别位于本体部的两端。在电池100的充放电过程中,正极活性物质和负极活性物质与电解液发生反应,极耳连接电极端子212以形成电流回路。
请参照图4、图5、图6、图7、图8、图9和图10,图4为本申请一些实施例提供的端盖组件21的结构示意图。图5为本申请一些实施例提供的端盖211的俯视示意图。图6为图5中A-A位置的剖视图。图7为图6中B位置的放大图。图8为本申请一些实施例提供的端盖组件21的俯视示意图。图9为图8中D-D位置的剖视图。图10为图9中E位置的放大图。本申请实施例提供了一种端盖组件21,端盖组件21包括端盖211、电极端子212及绝缘件213。端盖211用于封闭壳体23的开口。端盖211具有安装部2112,安装部2112限定出安装孔2111。电极端子212至少部分穿设于安装孔2111。绝缘件213包括依次连接的第一绝缘部2131、第二绝缘部2132和第三绝缘部2133,第二绝缘部2132至少部分位于安装孔2111内,且第一绝缘部2131和第三绝缘部2133分别位于安装部2112沿端盖211的厚度方向的两侧,以包覆安装部2112。
厚度方向为图7或图10中双箭头C所指示的方向。
安装部2112是端盖211上形成安装孔2111的部分。以端盖211为板状结构为例,安装部2112是端盖211上环绕安装孔2111的部分。安装孔2111用于安装电极端子212,使得电极端子212能够与电极组件22及用电设备电连接。
“电极端子212至少部分穿设于安装孔2111”是指电极端子212既可以只有一部分容纳于安装孔2111内,也可以是完全容纳于安装孔2111内。
绝缘件213为具有绝缘特性的材质制得,例如塑胶或橡胶等。第一绝缘部2131、第二绝缘部2132和第三绝缘部2133是绝缘件213上依次连接的三个部分。其 中,第一绝缘部2131位于安装部2112沿着端盖211厚度方向的一侧,第一绝缘部2131和第二绝缘部2132呈夹角布置,使得第二绝缘部2132伸入到安装孔2111内,第二绝缘部2132和第三绝缘部2133呈夹角布置,使得第三绝缘部2133延伸至安装部2112沿着厚度方向的另一侧。这样,绝缘件213包覆住安装部2112,第二绝缘部2132遮挡住安装孔2111的内壁,使得电极端子212与不能与安装孔2111的内壁接触,电极端子212与端盖211绝缘隔离。
该端盖组件21的绝缘件213从安装部2112沿着端盖211的厚度方向的一侧伸入安装孔2111内,并从安装部2112沿着端盖211的厚度方向的另一侧伸出安装孔2111,实现对安装部2112的包覆,第二绝缘部2132遮挡住安装孔2111的内壁,使得安装孔2111的内壁与电极端子212绝缘隔离,避免电极端子212与安装孔2111的内壁接触而导致短路,从一定程度上缓解电池单体20发生起火或者爆炸事故的问题。
在一些实施例中,端盖组件21还包括连接件214,连接件214位于端盖211背离壳体23的一侧。连接件214连接于电极端子212,连接件214用于输出电池单体20的电能。其中,沿厚度方向,第一绝缘部2131至少部分位于连接件214和端盖211之间,以绝缘隔离连接件214和端盖211。
连接件214是连接于电极端子212沿厚度方向背离壳体23的一端的部件。连接件214为导电材料制成,具有导电性,例如,连接件214可以为金属块。连接件214可以与电极端子212铆接,以输出电池单体20的电能。
第一绝缘部2131既可以是部分位于连接件214和端盖211之间,也可以是完全位于连接件214和端盖211之间。第一绝缘部2131将连接件214和端盖211绝缘隔离,以避免连接件214与端盖211接触而发生短路。
通过设置连接件214连接电极端子212,一方面,能够对电极端子212起到限位作用,连接件214能够抵持于第一绝缘部2131,以防止电极端子212从沿着厚度方向背离连接件214的方向脱离安装孔2111。另一方面,连接件214能够方便地输出电池单体20的电能。第一绝缘部2131至少部分位于连接件214和端盖211之间,能够将连接件214和端盖211绝缘隔离,避免连接件214与端盖211接触而发生短路,从一定程度上缓解电池单体20发生起火或者爆炸事故的问题。
在一些实施例中,端盖211还包括连接部2113,连接部2113围设于安装部2112,连接部2113和安装部2112共同限定出容纳缺口2114。第三绝缘部2133至少部分容纳于容纳缺口2114。
连接部2113是端盖211上紧邻安装部2112且位于安装部2112外侧的部分。连接部2113上各位置的厚度相同(例如连接部2113可以为板状结构),连接部2113的厚度可以大于安装部2112的厚度。在本实施例中,沿着厚度方向上,连接部2113的一侧面与安装部2112的一侧面相平齐,连接部2113的另一侧面超出于安装部2112的另一侧面。在另一些实施例中,沿着厚度方向上,连接部2113的一侧面超出于安装部2112的一侧面,连接部2113的另一侧面超出于安装部2112的另一侧面。
容纳缺口2114是安装部2112沿厚度方向的一侧面与连接部2113靠近安装部2112的表面围成的容纳空间。容纳缺口2114可以是端盖211上的槽型结构。
将第三绝缘部2133至少部分设置于连接部2113和安装部2112限定出的容纳缺口2114内,能够减小第三绝缘部2133凸出于端盖211的朝向壳体23的一侧的高度,减小第三绝缘部2133对电池单体20内部空间的占用,有利于提升电池单体20的能量密度。
在本实施例中,容纳缺口2114与安装孔2111连通,这样,第三绝缘部2133可以直接容纳于容纳缺口2114内,而不必绕过安装部2112。
在另一些实施例中,连接部2113的厚度小于安装部2112的厚度。例如,沿 着厚度方向上,安装部2112的一侧面与连接部2113的一侧面相平齐,安装部2112的另一侧面超出于连接部2113的另一侧面。此时,容纳缺口2114与安装孔2111不连通,第三绝缘部2133需绕过安装部2112并延伸至容纳缺口2114内。
请参照图10,在一些实施例中,连接部2113具有背离连接件214的第一表面,第三绝缘部2133沿背离连接件214的方向不凸出于第一表面。
“第三绝缘部2133沿背离连接件214的方向不凸出于第一表面”是指沿厚度方向,第三绝缘部2133背离连接件214的表面到连接件214的距离小于或等于第一表面到连接件214的距离。
通过使第三绝缘部2133沿背离连接件214的方向不凸出于第一表面,避免第三绝缘部2133占用电池单体20的内部空间,有利于提升电池单体20的能量密度。
在一些实施例中,沿厚度方向,第三绝缘部2133具有背离连接件214的第二表面。第二表面与第一表面平齐。
第二表面特指沿厚度方向,第三绝缘部2133背离连接件214的表面。“第二表面与第一表面平齐”是指沿厚度方向,第二表面到连接件214的距离等于第一表面到连接件214的距离。
通过使第一表面与第二表面平齐,容纳缺口2114刚好容纳第三绝缘部2133,不需要使容纳缺口2114的深度过深。这样,连接部2113的厚度也较小,有利于提升电池单体20的能量密度。
请参照图10,在一些实施例中,电极端子212包括主体部2121和限位部2122,限位部2122围设于主体部2121的周围。主体部2121至少部分位于安装孔2111内。沿厚度方向,限位部2122与连接部2113相对设置。端盖组件21还包括第一密封件215,第一密封件215至少部分密封设置于连接部2113和限位部2122之间。
主体部2121是电极端子212发挥其作用的主要部分。主体部2121可以部分位于安装孔2111内,也可以完全位于安装孔2111内。
限位部2122连接于主体部2121,且围设于主体部2121的周围,限位部2122用于与其他部件相抵接,以限制主体部2121的位置,阻止主体部2121脱离安装孔2111。例如,限位部2122可以呈圆环状,限位部2122的内侧连接于主体部2121。
第一密封件215为能够实现密封作用的结构,如密封胶、密封垫或密封片等。
“密封设置”也即能够使第一密封件215发挥密封作用的设置方式。例如,可使第一密封件215过盈配合于连接部2113和限位部2122之间。
主体部2121穿设于安装孔2111,限位部2122连接于主体部2121,限位部2122能够抵持于第一密封件215,以限制主体部2121从沿着厚度方向朝向连接件214的方向脱离安装孔2111。第三绝缘部2133和连接部2113之间的微小间隙可能会导致电解液从电池单体20内渗出或其他杂质渗入电池单体20内,因此将第一密封件215至少部分密封设置于连接部2113和限位部2122之间,能够将连接部2113和限位部2122密封,在密封连接部2113和限位部2122的同时,也就密封了第三绝缘部2133和连接部2113,降低了电解液从电池单体20内泄漏或者其他杂质进入到电池单体20内的风险。
请参照图11、图12和图13,图11为本申请另一些实施例提供的端盖组件21的俯视示意图。图12为图11中F-F位置的剖视图。图13为图12中G位置的放大图。在另一些实施例中,第一密封件215包括第一密封部2151和第二密封部2152,第一密封部2151密封设置于连接部2113和限位部2122之间。第二密封部2152密封设置于主体部2121和第二绝缘部2132之间。
第一密封部2151和第二密封部2152可以是直接连接在一起,也可以是通过 中间连接部连接在一起。其中,第一密封部2151至少部分位于连接部2113和限位部2122之间,以密封连接部2113和限位部2122。第二密封部2152至少部分位于主体部2121和第二绝缘部2132之间,以密封主体部2121和第二绝缘部2132。
第二密封部2152可以呈筒状结构,第二密封部2152可以套设于主体部2121的外侧。第一密封部2151可以呈环状结构,第一密封部2151连接于第二密封部2152的外周。这样,第一密封部2151和第二密封部2152整体呈法兰状。
第一密封部2151能够将连接部2113和限位部2122密封,避免电解液从连接部2113与限位部2122之间泄漏或者其他杂质从连接部2113和限位部2122之间进入到电池单体20内。进一步地,第二密封部2152能够将主体部2121和第二绝缘部2132密封,避免其他杂质从主体部2121和第二绝缘部2132之间进入到电池单体20内。另外,即使第一密封部2151的密封部分失效,使得电解液进入到主体部2121和第二绝缘部2132之间,第二密封部2152也能够将主体部2121和第二绝缘部2132密封,从而防止电解液泄露。
在一些实施例中,第二密封部2152抵靠于连接件214。
沿厚度方向,第二密封部2152的一端与连接件214相接触,并且与连接件214具有相互作用的正压力。
通过将第二密封部2152抵靠于连接件214,可降低其他杂质进入到主体部2121和第二绝缘部2132之间的风险,提升电池单体20的安全性能。
在另一些实施例中,第一密封件215密封设置于第三绝缘部2133与连接部2113之间。这样,第一密封件215同样能够将第三绝缘部2133和连接部2113密封,避免电解液从第三绝缘部2133与连接部2113之间泄漏或者其他杂质从第三绝缘部2133和连接部2113之间进入到电池单体20内。
请参照图14、图15、图16、图17、图18和图19,图14为本申请又一些实施例提供的端盖211的俯视示意图。图15为图14中H-H位置的剖视图。图16为图15中I位置的放大图。图17为本申请又一些实施例提供的端盖组件21的俯视示意图。图18为图17中J-J位置的剖视图。图19为图18中K位置的放大图。在又一些实施例中,沿厚度方向,第一绝缘部2131位于端盖211的朝向电池单体20内部的一侧,第一绝缘部2131用于绝缘隔离端盖211和电池单体20内部。
第一绝缘部2131是绝缘件213中位于端盖211的朝向电池单体20内部的一侧的部分。换句话说,第一绝缘部2131是绝缘件213中位于端盖211的靠近电极组件22的一侧的部分。
电池单体20的内部是指端盖211与壳体23围成的容纳空间。该容纳空间用于放置电极组件22,因此,朝向电池单体20的内部也可以理解为朝向电极组件22。
通过将第一绝缘部2131设置于端盖211的朝向电池单体20内部的一侧,能够将端盖211和电池单体20内部的部件绝缘隔离,避免端盖211与电池单体20内部的部件接触而发生短路,从一定程度上缓解电池单体20发生起火或者爆炸事故的问题。
在一些实施例中,端盖211还包括连接部2113,连接部2113围设于安装部2112,连接部2113和安装部2112共同限定出容纳缺口2114。第三绝缘部2133至少部分容纳于容纳缺口2114。
连接部2113是端盖211上紧邻安装部2112且位于安装部2112外侧的部分。连接部2113上各位置的厚度相同(例如连接部2113可以为板状结构),连接部2113的厚度可以大于安装部2112的厚度。在本实施例中,沿着厚度方向上,连接部2113的一侧面与安装部2112的一侧面相平齐,连接部2113的另一侧面超出于安装部2112的另一侧面。在另一些实施例中,沿着厚度方向上,连接部2113的一侧面超出于 安装部2112的一侧面,连接部2113的另一侧面超出于安装部2112的另一侧面。
容纳缺口2114是安装部2112沿厚度方向的一侧面与连接部2113靠近安装部2112的表面围成的容纳空间。容纳缺口2114可以是端盖211上的槽型结构。
将第三绝缘部2133至少部分设置于连接部2113和安装部2112限定出的容纳缺口2114内,能够减小第三绝缘部2133凸出于端盖211的背离壳体23的一侧的高度,降低与其他部件发生干涉的风险。
在本实施例中,容纳缺口2114与安装孔2111连通,这样,第三绝缘部2133可以直接容纳于容纳缺口2114内,而不必绕过安装部2112。
在另一些实施例中,连接部2113的厚度小于安装部2112的厚度。例如,沿着厚度方向上,安装部2112的一侧面与连接部2113的一侧面相平齐,安装部2112的另一侧面超出于连接部2113的另一侧面。此时,容纳缺口2114与安装孔2111不连通,第三绝缘部2133需绕过安装部2112并延伸至容纳缺口2114内。
在一些实施例中,连接部2113具有背离壳体23的第三表面,第三绝缘部2133沿背离壳体23的方向不凸出于第三表面。
“第三绝缘部2133沿背离壳体23的方向不凸出于第三表面”是指沿厚度方向,第三绝缘部2133背离壳体23的表面到壳体23的距离小于或等于第三表面到壳体23的距离。
通过使第三绝缘部2133沿背离壳体23的方向不凸出于第三表面,在一定程度上避免第三绝缘部2133与其他部件发生干涉,便于设置其他部件。
在一些实施例中,沿厚度方向,第三绝缘部2133具有背离壳体23的第四表面。第四表面与第三表面平齐。
第四表面特指沿厚度方向,第三绝缘部2133背离壳体23的表面。“第四表面与第三表面平齐”是指沿厚度方向,第四表面到壳体23的距离等于第三表面到壳体23的距离。
通过使第三表面与第四表面平齐,容纳缺口2114刚好容纳第三绝缘部2133,不需要使容纳缺口2114的深度过深。这样,连接部2113的厚度也较小,有利于提升电池单体20的能量密度。
请参照图19,在又一些实施例中,端盖组件21还包括第二密封件216,第二密封件216至少部分密封设置于电极端子212和第二绝缘部2132之间。
第二密封件216为能够实现密封作用的结构,如密封胶、密封垫或密封片等。
“密封设置”也即能够使第二密封件216发挥密封作用的设置方式。例如,可使第二密封件216过盈配合于电极端子212和第二绝缘部2132之间。
电极端子212和第二绝缘部2132之间的间隙可能会导致电解液从电池单体20内渗出或其他杂质渗入电池单体20内,因此将第二密封件216至少部分密封设置于电极端子212和第二绝缘部2132之间,能够将电极端子212和第二绝缘部2132密封,降低了电解液从电池单体20内泄漏或者其他杂质进入到电池单体20内的风险。

通过设置连接件214连接电极端子212,一方面,能够对电极端子212起到限位作用,连接件214能够抵持于第一绝缘部2131,以防止电极端子212从沿着厚度方向背离连接件214的方向脱离安装孔2111。另一方面,连接件214能够方便地输出电池单体20的电能。第一绝缘部2131至少部分位于连接件214和端盖211之间,能够将连接件214和端盖211绝缘隔离,避免连接件214与端盖211接触而发生短路,从一定程度上缓解电池单体20发生起火或者爆炸事故的问题。主体部2121穿设于安装孔2111,限位部2122连接于主体部2121,限位部2122能够抵持于第一密封件215,以限制主体部2121从沿着厚度方向朝向连接件214的方向脱离安装孔2111。第三绝缘部2133和连接部2113之间的微小间隙可能会导致电解液从电池单体20内渗出或其他杂质渗入电池单体20内,因此将第一密封件215至少部分密封设置于连接部2113和限位部2122之间,能够将连接部2113和限位部2122密封,在密封连接部2113和限位部2122的同时,也就密封了第三绝缘部2133和连接部2113,降低了电解液从电池单体20内泄漏或者其他杂质进入到电池单体20内的风险。
通过将第一绝缘部2131设置于端盖211的朝向电池单体20内部的一侧,能够将端盖211和电池单体20内部的部件绝缘隔离,避免端盖211与电池单体20内部的部件接触而发生短路,从一定程度上缓解电池单体20发生起火或者爆炸事故的问题。电极端子212和第二绝缘部2132之间的间隙可能会导致电解液从电池单体20内渗出或其他杂质渗入电池单体20内,因此将第二密封件216至少部分密封设置于电极端子212和第二绝缘部2132之间,能够将电极端子212和第二绝缘部2132密封,降低了电解液从电池单体20内泄漏或者其他杂质进入到电池单体20内的风险。
以上所述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。
