本申请中,电池单体可以包括锂离子二次电池单体、锂离子一次电池单体、锂硫电池单体、钠锂离子电池单体、钠离子电池单体或镁离子电池单体等,本申请实施例对此并不限定。电池单体可呈圆柱体、扁平体、长方体或其它形状等,本申请实施例对此也不限定。
本申请的实施例所提到的电池是指包括一个或多个电池单体以提供更高的电压和容量的单一的物理模块。例如,本申请中所提到的电池可以包括电池模块或电池包等。电池一般包括用于封装一个或多个电池单体的箱体。箱体可以避免液体或其他异物影响电池单体的充电或放电。
电池单体包括电极组件和电解液,电极组件包括正极极片、负极极片和隔离件。电池单体主要依靠金属离子在正极极片和负极极片之间移动来工作。正极极片包括正极集流体和正极活性物质层,正极活性物质层涂覆于正极集流体的表面;正极集流体包括正极集流部和连接于正极集流部的正极极耳,正极集流部涂覆有正极活性物质层,正极极耳未涂覆正极活性物质层。以锂离子电池为例,正极集流体的材料可以为铝,正极活性物质层包括正极活性物质,正极活性物质可以为钴酸锂、磷酸铁锂、三元锂或锰酸锂等。负极极片包括负极集流体和负极活性物质层,负极活性物质层涂覆于负极集流体的表面;负极集流体包括负极集流部和连接于负极集流部的负极极耳,负极集流部涂覆有负极活性物质层,负极极耳未涂覆负 极活性物质层。负极集流体的材料可以为铜,负极活性物质层包括负极活性物质,负极活性物质可以为碳或硅等。隔离件的材质可以为PP(polypropylene,聚丙烯)或PE(polyethylene,聚乙烯)等。
申请人注意到,部分电池单体出现寿命和效能降低的问题。
为了缓解电池单体寿命和效能降低的问题,申请人研究发现,极耳与电极端子之间要设置转接部件来实现电连接,而转接部件与电极端子是通过焊接的方式固定到一起的,在焊接过程中,转接部件可能发生窜动。随着转接部件的窜动,转接部件与绝缘件之间的距离也会发生改变,这会导致焊接热量通过转接部件传递到绝缘件上,可能造成绝缘件变形或烧蚀,导致隔离件的密封和绝缘效果降低或丧失,进而导致电池漏液、短路等一系列问题,造成电池单体寿命和效能的下降。
基于以上考虑,为了解决电池单体寿命和效能的下降的问题,发明人意识到需要改良绝缘件与转接部件的位置关系。发明人经过深入研究,设计了一种电池单体。在这样的电池单体中,转接部件的连接部与绝缘件之间的最小距离不小于0.1mm,连接部和绝缘件的最小距离较大,在将转接部件与电极端子焊接的过程中,即使转接部件窜动,由于转接部件与绝缘件之间有足够的距离,使得经转接部件传递到绝缘件的热量较低,绝缘件受热变形或失效的几率下降,提高了电池寿命和电池效能。

图4为本申请一些实施例提供的电池单体3的分解结构示意图。电池单体3是指组成电池的最小单元。如图4,电池单体3包括壳体32、位于壳体32内的电极组件33和盖设于壳体32开口处的顶盖组件31。
顶盖组件31是指盖合于壳体32的开口处以将电池单体3的内部环境隔绝于外部环境的部件。不限地,顶盖组件31的形状可以与壳体32的形状相适应以配合壳体32。可选地,顶盖组件31可以由具有一定硬度和强度的材质(如铝合金)制成,这样,顶盖组件31在受挤压碰撞时就不易发生形变,使电池单体3能够具备更高的结构强度,安全性能也可以有所提高。顶盖组件31上可以设置有如电极端子311等的功能性部件。电极端子311可以用于与电极组件33电连接,以用于输出或输入电池单体3的电能。在一些实施例中,顶盖组件31上还可以设置有用于在电池单体3的内部压力或温度达到阈值时泄放内部压力的泄压机构。顶盖组件31的材质也可以是多种的,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。在一些实施例中,在顶盖组件31的内侧还可以设置有绝缘件(图中未示出),绝缘件可以用于隔离壳体32内的电连接部件与顶盖组件31,以降低短路的风险。绝缘件可以是塑料、橡胶等。
壳体32是用于配合顶盖组件31以形成电池单体3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33、电解液(在图中未示出)以及其他部件。壳体32和顶盖组件31可以是独立的部件,可以于壳体32上设置开口,通过在开口处使顶盖组件31盖合开口以形成电池单体3的内部环境。不限地,也可以使顶盖组件31和壳体32一体化,具体地,顶盖组件31和壳体32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32的内部时,再使顶盖组件31盖合壳体32。壳体32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32的形状可以根据电极组件33的具体形状和尺寸大小来确定。壳体32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33是电池单体3中发生电化学反应的部件。壳体32内可以包含一个或更多个电极组件33。电极组件33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膜。正极片和负极片具有活性物质的部分构成电极组件的主体部,正极片和负极片不具有活性物质的部分各自构成极耳331。正极极耳和负极极耳可以共同位于主体部的一端或是分别位于主体部的两端。在电池的充放电过程中,正极活性物质和负极活性物质与电解液发生反应,极耳331连接电极端子311以形成电流回路。
请参阅图5、图6和图7,图5是本申请一实施例提供的一种电池单体的顶盖组件俯视图,图6是图5中A-A处的剖视图,图7是图6中B处的放大结构示意图。
如图4至图7所示,极耳331有时不容易直接与电极端子311电连接,这时候往往会在极耳331和电极端子311之间设置转接部件35,极耳331通过转接部件35实现和电极端子311的电连接。转接部件35与电极端子311的连接方式通常为焊接,可选的,焊接方式可以是激光焊接,超声波焊接或摩擦焊接等。
转接部件35与电极端子311进行焊接时,顶盖组件31通过夹具定位并固定,焊接位置即顶盖板312下表面朝上。转接部件35装配到位后,和顶盖板312上电池端子311下端面夹紧,通过激光焊接或其它焊接方式,将转接部件35焊接到顶盖组件31上。
在转接部件35与电极端子311焊接的过程中,可能由于夹紧装置未到位,焊接导致转接部件35表面温差过于剧烈以及焊接过程中气体堆积等原因造成转接部件35窜动,窜动指的是转接部件35偏离焊接位置的无规则移动。
环状绝缘件34设置在顶盖板312朝向安装孔313的内表面,而转接部件35通常要通过绝缘件34的内圈开孔与电极端子311连接。当焊接过程中转接部件35发生窜动时,部分绝缘件34与转接部件35之间的距离会变得过近,这就导致焊接过程中产生的大量热量通过转接部件35传导至绝缘件,绝缘件34受热会导致其形状或性能发生改变,造成顶盖组件31整体的性能降低。
在一些可选的实施例中,如图4和图7所示,电池单体3包括顶盖 组件31和转接部件35,顶盖组件31包括安装孔313,安装孔313沿第一方向X贯穿顶盖组件31;转接部件35包括基部351和凸出于基部351的连接部352,连接部352设置于安装孔313且和安装孔313的内壁面间隔设置。
可选的,第一方向为X方向。
第一方向X为顶盖组件31的厚度方向。
连接部352与安装孔313的最小距离可以是连接部352与安装孔313之间的配合间隙值。
基部352为平板状,基部352一端与极耳(图中未示出)连接,基部351另一端有凸起的连接部352,连接部352与电极端子311连接。
可选的,连接部352是凸出于基部351并有朝向基部351开孔的中空柱体或中空台体。
可选的,转接部件35为金属材质,通过机加工或锻压方式获得。
可选的,环状绝缘件34设置在顶盖板312朝向安装孔313的内表面,由于绝缘件34的材质通常为高分子材料,绝缘件34相比顶盖组件31中其它部件更易受热失效,因此,“转接部件35与安装孔313之间的间隙”可以表示为“转接部件35与绝缘件34之间的间隙”。
在本申请实施例提供的电池单体3中,电池单体3包括顶盖组件31和转接部件35,顶盖组件31包括沿第一方向X贯穿顶盖组件31的安装孔313,安装孔313用于容纳转接部件35,转接部件35用于连接电池单体3内的电极组件33与电极端子311。转接部件35包括基部351和凸出基部351的连接部352,连接部352设置于安装孔313且和安装孔313间隔设置,在将转接部件35与电极端子311焊接的过程中,即使转接部件35窜动,由于转接部件35与安装孔313之间有间隙,使得经转接部件35传递到顶盖组件31的热量较低,顶盖组件31受热变形或失效的几率下降,提高了电池寿命和电池效能。
在一些可选的实施例中,如图6和图7所示,连接部351和安装孔313之间的最小距离为L,其中,L大于等于0.1mm。
在这些实施例中,连接部351和安装孔313的最小距离L大于等于 0.1mm,改善了因转接部件35与安装孔313之间的距离过小导致转接部件35与电极端子311焊接过程中,转接部件35窜动,导致大量焊接热量经转接部件35导入顶盖组件31,使顶盖组件31受热变形或失效的问题,提高了电池性能。
在一些可选的实施例中,如图6和图7所示,连接部352包括顶壁3521和侧壁3522,顶壁3521背离基部351,并与所述基部351平行;侧壁3522环绕顶壁3521,并连接于顶壁3521和基部351之间。
在这些实施例中,连接部352包括顶壁3521和侧壁3522,顶壁3521背离基部351并与基部351平行,顶壁3521用于与电极端子311连接,以向外输出电流;侧壁3522环绕顶壁3521并连接在顶壁3521和基部351之间,侧壁3522对顶壁3521提供了支撑作用。
请参阅图8,图8是本申请一实施例提供的一种电池单体的转接部件35的结构示意图。
在一些可选的实施例中,如图7和图8所示,顶壁3521的边缘与安装孔313之间的最小距离L1为0.1mm~0.5mm。
顶壁3521包括靠近电极端子311的第一表面3521a,顶壁3521的边缘指的是第一表面3521a的边缘位置。当顶壁3521与连接部352的其它部分圆角过渡连接时,第一表面3521a指的是顶壁3521靠近电极端子311且在焊接过程中与电极端子311抵接的部分表面,此时,第一表面3521a不包括因圆角设计而在焊接过程中不与电极端子311抵接的部分。
在这些实施例中,顶壁3521是转接部件35与电极端子311焊接连接的区域,顶壁3521的边缘与安装孔313之间的最小距离L1为0.1mm~0.5mm,改善了因顶壁3521边缘与安装孔313之间的距离过小导致焊接过程中转接部件35窜动导致顶盖组件31受损;也改善了因顶壁3521边缘与安装孔313之间的距离过大导致电池能量密度降低的问题。
请参阅图9,图9是本申请一实施例提供的一种电池单体的转接部件35的俯视图。
在一些可选的实施例中,如图7至图9所示,侧壁3522与基部351连接的区域为凸起区353;凸起区353与安装孔313之间的最小距离L2 为0.8mm~1.2mm。
在这些实施例中,凸起区353与安装孔313之间的距离为0.8mm~1.2mm,改善了因凸起区353与安装孔313之间的距离过小导致转接部件35上料时对位精度差,转接部件35与顶盖组件(图中未示出)碰撞压伤的问题;同时也改善了因凸起区353与安装孔313之间的距离过大导致电池能量密度降低的问题。
在一些可选的实施例中,如图8和图9所示,顶壁3521包括沿第一方向X相对设置的第一表面3521a和第二表面3521b,第一表面3521a位于相对第二表面3521b远离基部351的一侧。第二表面3521b上设置有焊接区3523,焊接区3523的直径为d1,第二表面3521b的直径C,C≥d1+2*L1。
可选的,焊接区3523与第二表面3521b形状相同。
当第二表面3521b与连接部352其它部分圆角连接时,第二表面3521b不包括圆角部分。
焊接区3523在第二表面3521b上,在焊接过程如激光焊接过程中,激光束会照射焊接区3523使焊接区3523熔融。但在焊接过程中可能发生转接部件35窜动,这时候激光束可能会偏离出焊接区域而照射到连接部其它区域,造成虚焊或爆点,影响焊接质量。因此第二表面3521b的直径C≥d1+2*L1,也就是在焊接区3523外围设置一层宽度不小于L1的缓冲区3524,缓冲区3524可以保证即使发生转接部件35窜动的问题,激光束仍照射在第二表面3521b上,降低虚焊和焊接爆点出现的可能性。
在这些实施例中,顶壁3521包括靠近基部351的第二表面3521b,第二表面3521b内有焊接区353,焊接区353的直径为d1,第二表面3521b的直径C≥d1+2*L1,改善了由于第二表面3521b直径过小,在焊接过程中由于转接部件35窜动导致焊接效果降低的问题。
在一些可选的实施例中,如图8和图9所示,第二表面3521b的直径C大于或等于10mm。
在这些可选的实施例中,第二表面3521b的直径C大于等于10mm,改善了第二表面3521b直径过小,导致顶壁3521与电极端子311连接区域 过小,连接强度不足的问题。
请参阅图10,图10是图8中C处的放大结构示意图。
在一些可选的实施例中,如图10所示,连接部352还包括连接顶壁3521和基部351的侧壁3522,基部351与侧壁3522之间靠近安装孔313的角度θ为钝角。
在生产加工时,多个转接部件35一般是堆叠设置的,由于转接部件35自身的摩擦力和大气压力的作用,相邻的两个转接部件35之间会具有一定的吸附力,当需要通过机械设备将多个转接部件35分别抓取时,因转接部件35之间具有吸附力,因此,机械手容易将多个转接部件35同时取出,这样,若后续设备识别不出则会带来安全隐患,造成电池报废或返工的情况发生。
而当基部351与侧壁3522之间靠近安装孔313的角度为钝角时,相比于基部351与侧壁3522之间的夹角为直角时的状态,当拿取其中一个转接部件35时,两个转移构件35之间会更容易的进入空气平衡两个转移构件35之间的气压,降低两个转移构件35之间的吸附力,改善叠片问题。
在本申请实施例的技术方案中,当基部351与侧壁3522之间的夹角为钝角时,两个转接部件35之间的吸附力较低,可以改善转接部件35叠料的问题,并缓解由于转接部件35叠料而造成的上料卡顿问题。
在一些可选的实施例中,如图10所示,基部351与侧壁3522之间靠近安装孔313的角度θ大于或等于105°。
可选的,侧壁3522与顶壁3521圆滑过渡连接,侧壁3522与基部351圆滑过渡连接。侧壁3522与顶壁3521圆滑过渡连接,侧壁3522与基部351圆滑过渡连接,圆滑过渡连接可以分散应力,减少侧壁3522与顶壁3521、侧壁3522与基部351连接处开裂的几率。
在这些可选的实施例中,基部351与侧壁3522之间靠近安装孔313的角度大于等于105°,改善了因基部351与侧壁3522夹角过小导致转接部件35叠料和上料卡顿的问题。
在一些可选的实施例中,如图9和图10所示,第一表面3521a的直径为B,凸起区353的直径为A,在基部351厚度方向上,转接部件35 高度为H,B=A-2*H*cot(180-θ)°。
当第一表面3521a与侧壁3522圆角过渡连接,侧壁3522与基部351圆角过渡连接时,圆角半径为R,第一表面3521a不包括圆角部分。此时第一表面3521a的直径B=A-2*H*cot(180-θ)-2*R/sinθ°。
在基部351厚度方向上,转接部件35高度H指的是在第一方向X上,从基部351朝向顶盖组件(图中未示出)的一侧表面至第一表面3521a的距离。
在这些可选的实施例中,第一表面3521a的直径B=A-2*H*cot(180-θ)°,此时侧壁3522与基部351之间的夹角为钝角,两个转接部件35之间的吸附力较低,这可以改善转接部件35叠料的问题,并缓解由于转接部件35叠料而造成的上料卡顿的问题。
在一些可选的实施例中,如图9和图10所示,转接部件35的厚度为W,第二表面3521b的直径C,C=(A-2W)-2*(H-W)*cot(180-θ)°。
当第二表面3521b与侧壁3522圆角过渡连接,侧壁3522与基部351圆角过渡连接时,圆角半径为R,第二表面3521b不包括圆角部分。此时第二表面3521b直径C=(A-2W)-2*(H-W)*cot(180-θ)°-2*R/sinθ°。
在这些可选的实施例中,第二表面3521b的直径C=(A-2W)-2*(H-W)*cot(180-θ)°,此时侧壁3522与基部351之间的夹角为钝角,两个转接部件35之间的吸附力较低,这可以改善转接部件35叠料的问题,并缓解由于转接部件35叠料而造成的上料卡顿的问题。

连接部352还包括连接顶壁3521和基部351的侧壁3522,基部3521与侧壁3522之间的角度θ大于或等于105°;
第一表面3521a的直径为B,凸起区353的直径为A,在基部351厚度方向上,转接部件35高度为H,B=A-2*H*cot(180-θ)°;转接部件35的厚度为W,第二表面3521b的直径C,C=(A-2W)-2*(H-W)*cot(180-θ)°。
在这些实施例中,电池单体3包括顶盖组件31和转接部件35,顶盖组件31包括沿第一方向X贯穿顶盖组件31的安装孔313,安装孔313用于容纳转接部件35,转接部件35用于连接电池单体3内的电极组件33与电极端子311。转接部件35包括基部351和凸出基部351的连接部352,连接部352设置于安装孔313且和安装孔313间隔设置,在将转接部件35与电极端子311焊接的过程中,即使转接部件35窜动,由于转接部件35与安装孔313之间有间隙,使得经转接部件35传递到顶盖组件31的热量较低,顶盖组件31受热变形或失效的几率下降,提高了电池寿命和电池效能。
虽然已经参考优选实施例对本申请进行了描述,但在不脱离本申请的范围的情况下,可以对其进行各种改进并且可以用等效物替换其中的部件,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。
