Definitions
- the present application relates to the field of battery technology, and more specifically, to a battery and an electrical device.
- This application provides a battery and an electrical device, which can improve safety.
- a battery which includes a battery cell and a protective member.
- the battery cell includes a pressure relief mechanism.
- the protective member includes a protective area opposite to the pressure relief mechanism in a thickness direction of the pressure relief mechanism, and the protective area is used to block at least part of the material released by the battery cell through the pressure relief mechanism.
- the gravimetric energy density of the battery cell is E; in the thickness direction, the minimum distance between the pressure relief mechanism and the protective area is L.
- E and L satisfy: 2Wh/(kg ⁇ mm) ⁇ E/L ⁇ 7010Wh/(kg ⁇ mm).
- E the higher the value of E, the more violent the chain reaction occurs inside the battery cell, and the higher the temperature and speed of the material released by the battery cell. Therefore, E The higher the value, the higher the requirement for the minimum distance L between the pressure relief mechanism and the protective area. If E is too large and L is too small, particles in high-temperature and high-speed substances will easily accumulate on thermally runaway battery cells and spread to normal battery cells, and will also be more likely to rebound to normal battery cells. This will both It will cause the risk of normal battery cells being burned and damaged, and it will also increase the temperature of normal battery cells, causing the risk of normal battery cells thermal runaway, leading to safety hazards.
- E is too small and L is too large, the distance between the pressure relief mechanism and the protective area will be over-designed, which will reduce the utilization of the internal space of the battery and cause a waste of energy density of the battery.
- the above technical solution limits the value of E/L to 2Wh/(kg ⁇ mm)-7010Wh/(kg ⁇ mm) to reduce the spacing design between the protective components and the pressure relief mechanism while taking into account the safety protection requirements of the battery.
- the redundancy reduces the loss of battery energy density and improves battery safety.
- E and L satisfy: 10 Wh/(kg ⁇ mm) ⁇ E/L ⁇ 800 Wh/(kg ⁇ mm).
- the value of E is between 100 Wh/kg and 3505 Wh/kg.
- the weight energy density of a battery cell is greater than or equal to 100Wh/kg, which can effectively increase the energy density of the battery and improve the endurance of electrical devices using batteries.
- the weight energy density of a battery cell is less than or equal to 3505Wh/kg, which can keep thermal runaway battery cells under control and reduce safety risks.
- the value of E is between 100 Wh/kg and 400 Wh/kg.
- the value of L is 0.5mm-50mm.
- the above technical solution limits the value of L to 0.5mm-50mm, in order to reduce the redundancy in the spacing design between the protective components and the pressure relief mechanism and reduce the loss of the battery's energy density while taking into account the safety protection requirements of the battery. Improve battery safety.
- the value of L is 0.5mm-10mm.
- a flow channel for the heat exchange medium to flow is provided inside the protective component.
- the protective component can simultaneously perform protective functions and thermal management functions, which helps to simplify the structure of the battery and improve the energy density of the battery.
- the protective component further includes a heat exchange area
- the battery cell further includes a first wall
- the pressure relief mechanism is disposed on the first wall.
- the heat exchange area is used to connect the first wall to exchange heat with the first wall.
- the heat exchange area exchanges heat with the first wall to adjust the temperature of the battery cells so that the battery cells work within a suitable temperature range and improve the cycle performance of the battery cells.
- the battery further includes a thermally conductive structure, at least a portion of the thermally conductive structure being located between and connecting the first wall and the heat exchange area.
- the thermally conductive structure may connect the first wall and the heat exchange area to enable stable heat exchange between the first wall and the heat exchange area.
- the thermally conductive structure may also support the guard member such that the guard member is spaced apart from the pressure relief mechanism.
- the battery cell further includes a first wall, and the pressure relief mechanism is disposed on the first wall.
- the protective member includes a main body part and a support part.
- the main body part is spaced apart from the first wall along the thickness direction.
- the support part is located between the first wall and the main body part and is used to connect the first wall and the main body part.
- the main body includes a protective zone.
- the support part can not only fix the main body part to the battery cell, but also separate the protective area from the pressure relief mechanism. By adjusting the size of the support part, the minimum distance between the pressure relief mechanism and the protective zone can be adjusted.
- the guard member is a flat plate structure.
- the flat structure is easy to form and easy to install.
- the protective member is located on the same side of the pressure relief mechanisms of the multiple battery cells.
- the protection component includes multiple protection areas, and the multiple protection areas correspond to the pressure relief mechanisms of the multiple battery cells.
- the protective component can cover the pressure relief mechanisms of multiple battery cells. No matter which battery cell experiences thermal runaway, the protective component can block high-temperature and high-velocity substances and reduce safety risks.
- the battery further includes a case in which the battery cells and protective components are accommodated.
- the protective component is fixed on the surface of the box facing the pressure relief mechanism.
- the protective component can block the material released by the battery cells to reduce the thermal shock to the box, reduce the heat transferred to the box, reduce the risk of the box being melted through, and improve the safety of the battery.
- the box can fix the protective components to reduce the risk of the protective components moving under the impact of high-temperature and high-speed materials, reduce the probability of impact damage to the protective components, and reduce the risk of protective failure of the protective components.
