电池单体广泛用于电子设备,例如手机、笔记本电脑、电瓶车、电动汽车、电动飞机、电动轮船、电动玩具汽车、电动玩具轮船、电动玩具飞机和电动工具等等。
在电池单体的生产过程中,如何提高电池单体的良率,是电池技术中一个重要的研究方向。
发明内容
本申请提供一种电池单体、电池以及用电装置,其能提高电池单体的良率。
第一方面,本申请提供一种电池单体,包括外壳、电极组件和集流构件,外壳具有电极引出件。电极组件容纳于外壳内且包括极耳。集流构
件用于电连接极耳和电极引出件,集流构件焊接于电极引出件,集流构件包括导电保护层,导电保护层设置于集流构件背离电极引出件的一侧。
在上述技术方案中,集流构件具有导电保护层,在焊接时,导电保护层能够对集流构件与上焊针接触的位置进行保护,减轻集流构件粘接于上焊针的程度甚至避免集流构件粘接于上焊针,减少集流构件的损伤,提高电池单体的良率。
在一些实施方式中,集流构件包括集流盘,导电保护层设置于集流盘的背离电极引出件的表面;集流盘的材质包括第一金属,导电保护层的材质包括第二金属,第二金属的金属活泼性弱于第一金属的金属活泼性。
在上述技术方案中,导电保护层的金属活泼性弱于集流盘的金属活泼性,相对来说,集流盘更易与金属材质的上焊针发生化学反应形成合金而粘接在一起,故通过设置导电保护层,导电保护层的金属活泼性更弱,不易与上焊针发生化学反应,进而减轻甚至避免集流构件与上焊针粘接的情况,提高电池单体的良品率。导电保护层采用金属材质,更容易制作且制作成本低。
在一些实施方式中,集流盘包括盘本体和凸出于盘本体面向电极引出件的凸部,集流盘在与凸部相对应的位置设有凹部,导电保护层设置于凹部的底面;电极引出件与凸部相对的位置设有容纳部,凸部与容纳部凹凸配合。
在上述技术方案中,通过设置凸部和容纳部,增大了集流盘焊接区域和电极引出件焊接区域的接触面积,进而增加了电池单体的过流能力,热输入量增加,加快了集流盘焊接区域和电极引出件焊接区域的融化速度,进而提高了焊接效率和焊接质量。并且,凹部的设置还增加了电极组件的内部空间;容纳部的设置降低了电极引出件的制作成本。
在一些实施方式中,还包括焊接层,焊接层连接于集流构件和电极引出件之间。
在上述技术方案中,通过在集流构件和电极引出件中的至少一者设置焊接层,相比于二者直接接触来说,焊接层能够改善集流构件和电极引出件在焊接区域各自形成的金属氧化膜相互接触造成的焊接难度高、焊接质量低的问题,从而提高焊接质量和焊接效率。
在一些实施方式中,集流构件的材质包括第一金属,电极引出件的材质包括第三金属,焊接层的材质包括第四金属,第四金属的金属活泼性弱于第一金属和第三金属中任一者的金属活泼性。
在上述技术方案中,第一金属和第三金属的活泼性较强,容易产生金属氧化膜造成焊接难度高、焊接质量差的问题,通过在二者之间设置金属活泼性较弱的焊接层,焊接层较难形成金属氧化膜且形成的金属氧化膜体量较少,因此二者通过焊接层焊接,能够降低焊接的难度,提高焊接的质量和效率。焊接层采用金属材质,更容易制作且制作成本低。
在一些实施方式中,焊接层包括层叠设置的第一焊接子层和第二焊接子层,第一焊接子层设置于集流构件,第二焊接子层设置于电极引出件。
在上述技术方案中,通过在集流构件设置第一焊接子层,在电极引出件设置第二焊接子层,因此集流构件和电极引出件通过第一焊接子层和第二焊接子层焊接在一起,而第一焊接子层和第二焊接子层的金属活泼性弱于集流构件所包含的第一金属以及电极引出件所包含的第三金属中任一者的金属活泼性,故相比于集流构件和电极引出件,第一焊接子层和第二焊接子层焊接时较难形成金属氧化膜且形成的金属氧化膜体量较少,故焊接难度低,焊接质量高。
在一些实施方式中,集流构件包括盘本体和凸出于盘本体面向电极引出件的凸部,集流构件在与凸部相对应的位置设有凹部,导电保护层设置于凹部的底面;电极引出件与凸部对应的位置设有容纳部,凸部与容纳部凹凸配合;第一焊接子层设置于凸部面向电极引出件的表面,第二焊接子层设置于容纳部的底面。
在上述技术方案中,将第一焊接子层设置于凸部,第二焊接子层设置于容纳部,可增大集流盘焊接区域和电极引出件焊接区域的接触面积,进而增加了电池单体的过流能力,热输入量增加,提高了焊接效率和焊接质量。
在一些实施方式中,凸部为曲形结构。
在上述技术方案中,将凸部设置为曲形结构,显著增加了电极引出件的焊接区域和集流构件焊接区域的接触面积,进而热输入量增加,提高了焊接效率和焊接质量。
在一些实施方式中,凸部包括设置于自身中心区域的第一平面部,容纳部的底面包括第二平面部,第一平面部和第二平面部抵接配合。
在上述技术方案中,凸部和容纳部通过第一平面部和第二平面部相贴合,凸部和容纳部便于加工制作,且第一平面部和第二平面部的贴合程度较高,焊接质量较好。
在一些实施方式中,凸部包括多个设置于中心区域的凸出结构,凸出结构沿朝向和/或远离容纳部的底面的方向凸出。
在上述技术方案中,由于多个凸出结构的存在,在焊接时,凸部单位面积的电流会增加,热输入量增加,故焊接质量提高。
在一些实施方式中,容纳部的底面包括第三平面部,多个凸出结构
包括多个朝向容纳部底面方向凸出的凸起,第三平面部与多个凸起的至少部分相抵。
在上述技术方案中,容纳部通过平面与至少部分凸起相抵,便于加工制作。
在一些实施方式中,凸部背离电极引出件的表面包括与凹部的底面相接的存储部,存储部与凹部连通。
在上述技术方案中,设置存储部,用于容纳焊接时集流构件溢出的溢料,减少溢料溢出至其他部分的体积,提高电池单体的良率。
在一些实施方式中,存储部环绕于凹部的底面设置。
在上述技术方案中,环绕于凹部的底面设置,可对凹部中从任何角度溢出的溢料均起到收纳作用,显著减少溢料溢出至其他部分的体积。
在一些实施方式中,盘本体背离电极引出件的一侧设置有凹槽。
在上述技术方案中,通过在盘本体背离电极引出件的一侧设置凹槽,能够减少焊接时上焊针压力导致的形变,提高电池单体的良率。同时,凹槽的设置也便于电解液的注入。
在一些实施方式中,集流构件和电极引出件沿第一方向排列,凸部沿第一方向凸出于盘本体的最大尺寸与盘本体沿第一方向的尺寸之比为1:1-5:1;容纳部沿第一方向的最大尺寸与电极引出件沿第一方向的尺寸之比为1:2-1:5。
在上述技术方案中,设置上述比例,以平衡焊接质量和电池单体的良率,即焊接质量较高且电池单体的良率较高。
在一些实施方式中,集流构件和电极引出件沿第一方向排列,凸部沿第一方向在第一平面的投影面积与集流盘沿第一方向在第一平面的投影
面积之比为1:4-1:12;容纳部沿第一方向在第一平面的投影面积与电极引出件沿第一方向在第一平面的投影面积之比为1:2.5-1:6;其中,第一平面垂直于第一方向。
在上述技术方案中,设置上述比例,以平衡焊接质量和电池单体的良率,即焊接质量较高且电池单体的良率较高。

本申请中出现的“多个”指的是两个以上(包括两个)。
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涂覆区和连接于正极涂覆区的正极极耳,正极涂覆区涂覆有正极活性物质层,正极极耳未涂覆正极活性物质层。以锂离子电池单体为例,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涂覆区和连接于负极涂覆区的负极极耳,负极涂覆区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。
电池单体还包括外壳,外壳内部形成用于容纳电极组件的容纳腔。外壳可以从外侧保护电极组件,以避免外部的异物影响电极组件的充电或放电。
在电池单体中,极耳通常通过集流构件与电极引出件电连接,而集流构件和电极引出件通常采用焊接的方式连接。发明人发现,集流构件和
电极引出件在焊接时,焊针容易与集流构件粘连,在取下焊针时,焊针会带下集流构件的部分材料,引发集流构件失效风险,降低了产品良率以及焊接的效率。
鉴于此,本申请提供了一种技术方案,其通过在集流构件上设置导电保护层,以在焊接时对集流构件进行保护,减轻焊针粘接于集流构件的程度,减少集流构件的损伤,提高产品的良率。
本申请实施例描述的电池单体适用于电池以及使用电池单体的用电装置。
用电装置可以是车辆、手机、便携式设备、笔记本电脑、轮船、航天器、电动玩具和电动工具等等。车辆可以是燃油汽车、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;航天器包括飞机、火箭、航天飞机和宇宙飞船等等;电动玩具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;电动工具包括金属切削电动工具、研磨电动工具、装配电动工具和铁道用电动工具,例如,电钻、电动砂轮机、电动扳手、电动螺丝刀、电锤、冲击电钻、混凝土振动器和电刨等等。本申请实施例对上述用电装置不做特殊限制。
以下实施例为了方便说明,以用电装置为车辆为例进行说明。
图1为本申请一些实施例提供的一种用电装置的结构示意图。
如图1所示,车辆1的内部设置有电池2,电池2可以设置在车辆1的底部或头部或尾部。电池2可以用于车辆1的供电,例如,电池2可以作为车辆1的操作电源。
车辆1还可以包括控制器3和马达4,控制器3用来控制电池2为马达4供电,例如,用于车辆1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2不仅仅可以作为车辆1的操作电源,还可以作为车辆1的驱动电源,代替或部分地代替燃油或天然气为车辆1提供驱动动力。
图2为本申请一些实施例提供的一种电池的爆炸示意图。
如图2所示,电池2包括箱体8和电池单体5,电池单体5容纳于箱体8内。
箱体8用于容纳电池单体5,箱体8可以是多种结构。本申请对此不做过多限定。
在电池2中,电池单体5可以是一个,也可以是多个。若电池单体5为多个,多个电池单体5之间可串联或并联或混联,混联是指多个电池单体中既有串联又有并联。多个电池单体5之间可直接串联或并联或混联在一起,再将多个电池单体5构成的整体容纳于箱体8内;当然,也可以是多个电池单体5先串联或并联或混联组成电池模块,多个电池模块再串联或并联或混联形成一个整体,并容纳于箱体8内。
图3为本申请一些实施例提供的一种电池单体的结构示意图,图4为本申请一些实施例提供的电池单体中集流构件和电极引出件在焊接过程中的分解图,图5为图4中集流构件的俯视图,图6为图4中电极引出件的俯视图。
如图3-6所示,本申请实施例的电池单体5包括外壳51、电极组件52以及集流构件53。外壳51具有电极引出件511。电极组件52容纳于外壳51内且包括极耳521。集流构件53用于电连接极耳521和电极引出件511,集流构件53焊接于电极引出件511,集流构件53包括导电保护层531,导电保护层531设置于集流构件53背离电极引出件511的一侧。
本申请实施例对外壳51的形状不做限制,其可以大致呈长方体、
圆柱体或其他形状。
外壳51为空心结构,其内部形成用于容纳电极组件52和电解液的容纳腔。外壳51的形状可根据电极组件52的具体形状来确定。比如,若电极组件52为长方体结构,则可选用长方体外壳;若电极组件52为圆柱结构,则可选用圆柱外壳。
外壳51的材质可以是多种,比如,外壳51的材质可以是金属或塑料。可选地,外壳51的材质可以是铜、铁、铝、钢、铝合金等。
电极引出件511用于将电极组件52与电池单体5外部的电路电连接,以实现电极组件52的充放电。示例性地,电极引出件511的至少部分露出到电池单体5的外部,以便于与其它构件(例如汇流部件)连接,进而将电极组件52产生的电能引出。
本申请实施例对集流构件53和导电保护层531的具体材质不做限制,可以为金属,也可以为其他非金属、耐高温的导电材料。示例性的,集流构件53主体部分的材质为铝或钢,导电保护层531的材质为镍或者导电炭层。
本申请实施例对导电保护层531设置于集流构件53的具体位置不做限制,示例性的,导电保护层531可以设置在集流构件53背离电极引出件511的一侧的中心区域。
可选的,集流构件53和电极引出件511采用电阻焊的方式焊接。在采用电阻焊时,上焊针6抵接于导电保护层531,下焊针7抵接于电极引出件511背离集流构件53的一侧,上焊针6和下焊针7在集流构件53和电极引出件511的排列方向正对设置。
集流构件53的焊接区域和导电保护层531的焊接区域可以直接接触,也可以在二者之间设置其他结构以便于焊接。
本申请实施例对集流构件53和电极引出件511的形状不做限制,其跟随外壳51的变化而变化,示例性的,集流构件53为圆盘状,电极引出件511为柱状。
集流构件53具有导电保护层531,在焊接时,导电保护层531能够对集流构件53与上焊针6接触的位置进行保护,减轻集流构件53粘接于上焊针6的程度甚至避免集流构件53粘接于上焊针6,减少集流构件53的损伤,提高电池单体5的良率。
并且,导电保护层531可用于导通电流,以便于电流经过集流构件53和电极引出件511进行焊接。
除此,集流构件53与上焊针6接触的焊接区域容易形成金属氧化膜,金属氧化膜熔点高,金属氧化膜的存在导致焊接难度变高、焊接质量变差,导电保护层531的存在可减少金属氧化膜的形成,提高焊接质量,降低焊接难度,提高焊接效率。
在一些实施例中,集流构件53包括集流盘532,导电保护层531设置于集流盘532的背离电极引出件511的表面;集流盘532的材质包括第一金属,导电保护层531的材质包括第二金属,第二金属的金属活泼性弱于第一金属的金属活泼性。
本实施例中对第一金属和第二金属的具体金属材质不做限制,示例性的,第一金属为铝,第二金属为镍、铜或银。
导电保护层531的金属活泼性弱于集流盘532的金属活泼性,相对来说,集流盘532更易与金属材质的上焊针6发生化学反应形成合金而粘接在一起,故通过设置导电保护层531,导电保护层531的金属活泼性更弱,不易与上焊针6发生化学反应,进而减轻甚至避免集流构件53与上焊针6粘接的情况,提高电池单体5的良品率。导电保护层531采用金属
材质,更容易制作且制作成本低。
并且,集流盘532的金属活泼性更强,集流盘532的焊接区域更容易产生金属氧化膜,金属氧化膜的熔点较高,在焊接时不易融化,进而导致焊接难度的增加,容易造成虚焊问题,焊接的质量和效率均变低。而导电保护层531的金属活泼性更弱,不易产生金属氧化膜且金属氧化膜产生量较少,因此集流盘532通过导电保护层531与上焊针6接触,可提高焊接效率和焊接质量。
在一些实施例中,集流盘532包括盘本体533和凸出于盘本体533面向电极引出件511的凸部534,集流盘532在与凸部534相对应的位置设有凹部535,导电保护层531设置于凹部535的底面;电极引出件511与凸部534相对的位置设有容纳部512,凸部534与容纳部512凹凸配合。
本实施例对凸部534和容纳部512的尺寸不做限制,但凸部534面向电极引出件511的表面需与容纳部512的底面至少部分贴合。
本申请实施例对凸部534的具体形状不做限制,凸部534可以是V型结构、弧形结构或者其他形状的结构。
在本实施例中,凹部535指的是与凸部534向电极引出件511塌陷后形成的凹陷空间。
本申请实施例对凹部535的形状也不做限制,示例性的,凹部535与上焊针6端部的形状和尺寸相匹配。可选的,凹部535的整个底面与上焊针6的端部相抵接。
通过设置凸部534和容纳部512,增大了集流盘532焊接区域和电极引出件511焊接区域的接触面积,进而增加了电池单体5的过流能力,热输入量增加,加快了集流盘532焊接区域和电极引出件511焊接区域的
融化速度,进而提高了焊接效率和焊接质量。并且,凹部535的设置还增加了电极组件52的内部空间;容纳部512的设置降低了电极引出件511的制作成本。
图7为本申请一些实施例提供的电池单体中集流构件和电极引出件在焊接过程中的结构示意图。
如图7所示,在一些实施例中,电池单体5还包括焊接层54,焊接层54连接于集流构件53和电极引出件511之间。
本申请实施例对焊接层54的材质不做限制,其可以为金属材质,也可以为其他非金属的导电耐热材质,例如金属镍或者导电炭。
在本申请实施例中,焊接层54与导电保护层531在电极引出件511和集流构件53的排列方向相对设置。
本申请实施例的焊接层54可以设置于集流构件53面向电极引出件511的一侧,也可设置在电极引出件511面向集流构件53的一侧,或者在集流构件53和电极引出件511上均设置。
通过在集流构件53和电极引出件511中的至少一者设置焊接层54,相比于二者直接接触来说,焊接层54能够改善集流构件53和电极引出件511在焊接区域各自形成的金属氧化膜相互接触造成的焊接难度高、焊接质量低的问题,从而提高焊接质量和焊接效率。
在一些实施例中,集流构件53的材质包括第一金属,电极引出件511的材质包括第三金属,焊接层54的材质包括第四金属,第四金属的金属活泼性弱于第一金属和第三金属中任一者的金属活泼性。
需要说明的是,集流构件53的材质包括第一金属,该第一金属为集流盘532所用材质。
本申请实施例对第一金属、第三金属以及第四金属的材质不做限制,示例性的,第一金属和第三金属均为铝,第四金属为镍、银或铁。
第一金属和第三金属的活泼性较强,容易产生金属氧化膜造成焊接难度高、焊接质量差的问题,通过在二者之间设置金属活泼性较弱的焊接层54,焊接层54较难形成金属氧化膜且形成的金属氧化膜体量较少,因此二者通过焊接层54焊接,能够降低焊接的难度,提高焊接的质量和效率。焊接层54采用金属材质,更容易制作且制作成本低。
图8为本申请一些实施例提供的集流构件和电极引出件的一种结构示意图。
如图8所示,在一些实施例中,焊接层54包括层叠设置的第一焊接子层541和第二焊接子层542,第一焊接子层541设置于集流构件53,第二焊接子层542设置于电极引出件511。
在本申请实施例中,第一焊接子层541和第二焊接子层542层叠设置,指的是,在焊接前,第一焊接子层541涂覆在集流构件53,第二焊接子层542涂覆在电极引出件511,第一焊接子层541和第二焊接子层542相抵接。在焊接后,第一焊接子层541和第二焊接子层542焊接在一起,从而集流构件53和电极引出件511焊接于一起。
本申请实施例对第一焊接子层541和第二焊接子层542的材质不做限制,二者所用金属材质可以相同,也可以不同。示例性的,第一焊接子层541和第二焊接子层542的材质均为镍,第一金属和第三金属的材质均为铝。当第一焊接子层541和第二焊接子层542的金属材质不同时,第一焊接子层541和第二焊接子层542的金属活泼性弱于第一金属和第三金属中任一者的金属活泼性。示例性的,第一金属和第三金属的材质均为铝,第一焊接子层541的材质为镍,第二焊接子层542的材质为银。
本申请实施例对第一焊接子层541和第二焊接子层542的涂覆面积以及涂覆厚度不做限制,二者的涂覆面积可以相同,也可不同。同样的,二者的涂覆厚度可以相同,也可不同。
通过在集流构件53设置第一焊接子层541,在电极引出件511设置第二焊接子层542,因此集流构件53和电极引出件511通过第一焊接子层541和第二焊接子层542焊接在一起,而第一焊接子层541和第二焊接子层542的金属活泼性弱于集流构件53所包含的第一金属以及电极引出件511所包含的第三金属中任一者的金属活泼性,故相比于集流构件53和电极引出件511,第一焊接子层541和第二焊接子层542焊接时较难形成金属氧化膜且形成的金属氧化膜体量较少,故焊接难度低,焊接质量高。
在一些实施例中,集流构件53包括盘本体533和凸出于盘本体533面向电极引出件511的凸部534,集流构件53在与凸部534相对应的位置设有凹部535,导电保护层531设置于凹部535的底面;电极引出件511与凸部534对应的位置设有容纳部512,凸部534与容纳部512凹凸配合;第一焊接子层541设置于凸部534面向电极引出件511的表面,第二焊接子层542设置于容纳部512的底面。
本申请实施例中的凸部534、凹部535以及容纳部512如上所述。
在本申请实施例中,第一焊接子层541可设置于凸部534面向电极引出件511的部分表面,也可设置于凸部534面向电极引出件511的整个表面。类似的,第二焊接子层542可设置于容纳部512的部分底面,也可设置于容纳部512的整个底面。
将第一焊接子层541设置于凸部534,第二焊接子层542设置于容纳部512,可增大集流盘532焊接区域和电极引出件511焊接区域的接触
面积,进而增加了电池单体5的过流能力,热输入量增加,提高了焊接效率和焊接质量。
在一些实施例中,凸部534为曲形结构。
本申请实施例对曲形结构的具体形状不做限制,其可以为圆弧走向的曲形结构,也可以为抛物线走向的曲形结构,也可以为其他走向的曲形结构。
凸部534为曲形结构,其面向电极引出件511的表面为曲形面,容纳部512的底面与凸部534的曲形面相贴合。
将凸部534设置为曲形结构,显著增加了电极引出件511的焊接区域和集流构件53焊接区域的接触面积,进而热输入量增加,提高了焊接效率和焊接质量。
图9为本申请一些实施例提供的电池单体中集流构件和电极引出件在焊接过程中的另一种分解图。
如图9所示,在一些实施例中,凸部534包括设置于自身中心区域的第一平面部536,容纳部512的底面包括第二平面部513,第一平面部536和第二平面部513抵接配合。
本申请实施例中,第一平面部536和第二平面部513均为平面结构,彼此抵接的面均为平面。
本申请实施例中,凸部534还包括围绕于第一平面部536的环状侧壁,可选的,环状侧壁与容纳部512相贴合。
凸部534和容纳部512通过第一平面部536和第二平面部513相贴合,凸部534和容纳部512便于加工制作,且第一平面部536和第二平面部513的贴合程度较高,焊接质量较好。
图10为本申请一些实施例提供的电池单体中集流构件和电极引出件在焊接过程中的又一种分解图。
如图10所示,在一些实施例中,凸部534包括多个设置于中心区域的凸出结构537,凸出结构537沿朝向和/或远离容纳部512的底面的方向凸出。
本申请实施例中,多个凸出结构537可以全部沿朝向容纳部512的底面的方向凸出,也可以全部沿远离容纳部512的底面的方向凸出,也可以一部分沿朝向容纳部512的底面方向凸出,一部分沿远离容纳部512的底面的方向凸出。当多个凸出结构537一部分沿朝向容纳部512的底面方向凸出,一部分沿远离容纳部512的底面的方向凸出时,本申请实施例对两部分凸出结构537的排列方式不做限制,示例性的,两部分凸出结构537相互交替设置,即凸出结构537为波浪结构。
本申请实施例对凸出结构537的凸出高度不做限制,所有凸出结构537的凸出高度可以相同,也可各不相同,也可部分相同、部分不同。
本申请实施例中,凸部534还包括围绕于多个凸出结构537的环状侧壁,可选的,环状侧壁与容纳部512相贴合。
在本申请实施例中,容纳部512可以与凸部534的凸出结构537凹凸配合,也可仅是通过平面、曲面或其他形状的面与凸出结构537相抵接。
由于多个凸出结构537的存在,在焊接时,凸部534单位面积的电流会增加,热输入量增加,故焊接质量提高。
在一些实施例中,容纳部512的底面包括第三平面部514,多个凸出结构537包括多个朝向容纳部512底面方向凸出的凸起538,第三平面部514与多个凸起538的至少部分相抵。
在本实施例中,第三平面部514面向凸出结构537的一侧为平面,第三平面部514通过平面与多个凸起538的至少部分相抵。
容纳部512通过平面与至少部分凸起538相抵,便于加工制作。
图11为图8中集流构件的结构示意图。
如图11所示,在一些实施例中,凸部534背离电极引出件511的表面包括与凹部535的底面相接的存储部539,存储部539与凹部535连通。
本申请实施例对存储部539的具体形状不做限制,示例性的,存储部539为凹槽结构。
本申请实施例可以包括多个存储部539,多个存储部539间隔的设置于凹部535的外周,也可仅包括一个存储部539。
设置存储部539,用于容纳焊接时集流构件53溢出的溢料,减少溢料溢出至其他部分的体积,提高电池单体5的良率。
在一些实施例中,存储部539环绕于凹部535的底面设置。
在本实施例中,存储部539连续设置于凹部535的外周侧。
环绕于凹部535的底面设置,可对凹部535中从任何角度溢出的溢料均起到收纳作用,显著减少溢料溢出至其他部分的体积。
在一些实施例中,盘本体533背离电极引出件511的一侧设置有凹槽。
本申请实施例对凹槽的具体设置位置和个数不做限制,示例性的,凹槽的数量为二,两个凹槽沿凹部535对称设置。
通过在盘本体533背离电极引出件511的一侧设置凹槽,能够减
少焊接时上焊针6压力导致的形变,提高电池单体5的良率。同时,凹槽的设置也便于电解液的注入。
在一些实施例中,集流构件53和电极引出件511沿第一方向X排列,凸部534沿第一方向X凸出于盘本体533的最大尺寸a与盘本体533沿第一方向X的尺寸b之比为1:1-5:1;容纳部512沿第一方向X的最大尺寸c与电极引出件511沿第一方向X的尺寸d之比为1:2-1:5。
在本实施例中,凸部534沿第一方向X凸出于盘本体533的最大尺寸a与盘本体533沿第一方向X的尺寸b之比包括端值1:1和5:1,容纳部512沿第一方向X的最大尺寸c与电极引出件511沿第一方向X的尺寸d之比包括端值1:2和1:5。
发明人发现,若凸部534沿第一方向X凸出于盘本体533的最大尺寸a与盘本体533沿第一方向X的尺寸b之比过小的话,则凸部534与容纳部512的接触面积仍较小,热输入量较少,焊接质量提升不明显。若容纳部512沿第一方向X的最大尺寸c与电极引出件511沿第一方向X的尺寸d之比过大的话,会减少电极引出件511的过流面积,降低电池单体5的良率。
鉴于此,发明人设置上述比例,以平衡焊接质量和电池单体5的良率,即焊接质量较高且电池单体5的良率较高。
在一些实施例中,集流构件53和电极引出件511沿第一方向X排列,凸部534沿第一方向X在第一平面的投影面积与集流盘532沿第一方向X在第一平面的投影面积之比为1:4-1:12;容纳部512沿第一方向X在第一平面的投影面积与电极引出件511沿第一方向X在第一平面的投影面积之比为1:2.5-1:6;其中,第一平面垂直于第一方向X。
本申请实施例中,凸部534沿第一方向X在第一平面的投影面积
与集流盘532沿第一方向X在第一平面的投影面积之比包括端值1:4和1:12。容纳部512沿第一方向X在第一平面的投影面积与电极引出件511沿第一方向X在第一平面的投影面积之比包括端值1:2.5和1:6。
发明人发现,若凸部534沿第一方向X在第一平面的投影面积与集流盘532沿第一方向X在第一平面的投影面积之比过小的话,则凸部534与容纳部512的接触面积仍较小,热输入量较少,焊接质量提升不明显。若容纳部512沿第一方向X在第一平面的投影面积与电极引出件511沿第一方向X在第一平面的投影面积之比过大的话,会减少电极引出件511的过流面积,降低电池单体5的良率。
鉴于此,发明人设置上述比例,以平衡焊接质量和电池单体5的良率,即焊接质量较高且电池单体5的良率较高。

本申请实施例还提供一种用电装置,包括上述的电池2,电池2用于提供电能。
