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。
本发明人注意到,电池发生热失控时,及易被细微点火源点着,引发剧烈燃烧甚至爆炸的问题,安全性能较差。本发明人进一步研究发现,电池在发生热失控时,其电池单体内会产生大量的气体,气体内含有一定占比的可燃物质,当电池单体内的压力达到预定参数时,会通过电池单体上相应的泄压机构将气体等物质释放至电池的箱体内,当箱体的内压力达到预定要求时,会通过位于箱体上的泄压机构将气体等物质释放至电池外。由于释放至电池外的物体包括有大量的可燃的物质,在助燃物如氧气等的参与下,极易被细微点火源点着,引发剧烈的燃烧,甚至出现电池爆炸的风险。
为了缓解电池的安全性能较差的问题,本发明人研究发现,可以通过在箱体内的气体释放至电池外部之前,将气体中的可燃物质的温度、浓度等参数降低,进而降低电池排出气体的燃烧概率,提高电池的安全性能。
基于以上考虑,为了解决电池的安全性能较差的问题,发明人经过深入研究,设计了一种电池,电池包括壳体、电池单体、处理介质以及第二泄压机构。壳体具有容纳腔,电池单体设置于容纳腔,电池单体具有第一泄压机构,第一泄压机构用于释放电池单体内的物质。处理介质设置于壳体并用于与物质反应,以使得物质中的预定参数的数值降低。第二泄压机构,设置于壳体,第二泄压机构用于将与处理液反应后 的物质排出至壳体外。
在这样的电池中,电池单体的第一泄压机构能够将电池单体内热失控产生的物质如可燃的气体释放,由于壳体内设置有处理介质,能够通过处理介质与电池单体释放的物质反应,使得物质中的预定参数的数值降低,从而降低由第二泄压机构排出的物质中预定参数的数值,减小气态可燃物发生燃烧的可能性,进而提高电池系统的安全性。
