本申请发明人注意到,在电池受到外部作用力时,过大的作用力会导致正负极片错位,从而影响电池的可靠性。
请参照图1至图3,图1为相关技术一些实施例中的电芯组件1的结构示意图,图2为图1中A-A的断面图,图3为图1中B-B的断面图。以叠片式的电芯组件1为例,该电芯组件1包括交替层叠设置的正极片1a、负极片1b、设置于相邻的正极片1a和负极片1b之间的隔离膜1c、设置于正极片1a上的正极耳1d以及设置于负极片1b上的负极耳1e。
本申请发明人进一步注意到,如图1所示,正极耳1d之间可以通过焊接方式固定, 负极耳1e之间也可以通过焊接方式固定。而如图2和图3所示,叠片式的电芯组件1在宽度方向上不受约束。由此,在电芯组件1受到外部作用力时,正极片1a与负极片1b之间容易发生相对滑移,从而使得叠片式的电芯组件1内产生对齐度偏差,恶化电池性能,导致产生安全问题,影响电池的可靠性。
为了缓解因正负极片之间容易发生相对滑移导致电池安全性能下降的问题,本申请发明人研究发现,至少可以给正负极片施加在宽度方向上的束缚力。具体为在容易发生相对滑移的正负极片中增加可以相互配合的结构,使得相对应的正负极片之间形成有效支撑,进而可避免在受到外部作用力时正负极片之间产生相对滑移。
基于以上考虑,为了缓解因正负极片产生相对滑移导致电池安全性能下降的问题,本申请发明人经过深入研究,设计了一种电极组件,通过在至少一相邻的正极片和负极片朝向彼此的一侧表面设有咬合部,相对应的咬合部之间能够相互咬合。在电池受到外部作用力时,相互咬合的咬合部可以对至少一相邻的正极片和负极片之间产生相互作用力,对该正极片和该负极片产生束缚,避免该正极片和该负极片在外部作用力的影响下产生相对滑移,进而能够避免因正负极片错位而恶化电池性能的问题,提高了电池的可靠性。
本申请实施例公开的极片用于制备电池单体,电池单体可以但不限用于车辆、船舶或飞行器等用电装置中。可以使用具备本申请公开的电池单体、电池等组成该用电装置的电源系统,这样,有利于缓解因析锂降低电池性能的问题,提升电池性能的稳定性和电池寿命。

其中,每个电池单体20可以为二次电池或一次电池;还可以是锂硫电池、钠离子电池或镁离子电池,但不局限于此。电池单体20可呈圆柱体、扁平体、长方体或其它形状等。
请参照图6,图6为本申请一些实施例提供的电池单体20的分解结构示意图。电池单体20是指组成电池100的最小单元。如图6,电池单体20包括有端盖21、壳体22、电芯组件23以及其他的功能性部件。
端盖21是指盖合于壳体22的开口处以将电池单体20的内部环境隔绝于外部环境的部件。不限地,端盖21的形状可以与壳体22的形状相适应以配合壳体22。可选地,端盖21可以由具有一定硬度和强度的材质(如铝合金)制成,这样,端盖21在受挤压碰撞时就不易发生形变,使电池单体20能够具备更高的结构强度,安全性能也可以有所提高。端盖21上可以设置有如电极端子21a等的功能性部件。电极端子21a可以用于与电芯组件23电连接,以用于输出或输入电池单体20的电能。在一些实施例中,端盖21上还可以设置有用于在电池单体20的内部压力或温度达到阈值时泄放内部压力的泄压机构。端盖21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,在端盖21的内侧还可以设置有绝缘件,绝缘件可以用于隔离壳体22内的电连接部件与端盖21,以降低短路的风险。示例性的,绝缘件可以是塑料、橡胶等。
壳体22是用于配合端盖21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芯组件23、电解液以及其他部件。壳体22和端盖21可以是独立的部件,可以于壳体22上设置开口,通过在开口处使端盖21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21和壳体22一体化,具体地,端盖21和壳体22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22的内部时,再使端盖21盖合壳体 22。壳体22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22的形状可以根据电芯组件23的具体形状和尺寸大小来确定。壳体22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。
请参照图7至图10,图7为本申请一些实施例中的电芯组件23的结构示意图;图8为本申请一些实施例中图7的C-C的断面图;图9为图8中G处的局部放大结构示意图;图10为图9中F处的局部放大结构示意图。其中,W所指为电芯组件23的宽度方向,δ所指为电芯组件23的厚度方向,H所指为电芯组件23的高度方向。电芯组件23是电池单体100中发生电化学反应的部件。壳体22内可以包含一个或更多个电芯组件23。电芯组件23主要由正极片232a和负极片232b卷绕或层叠放置形成(图7至图10所示电芯组件23为叠片式结构),并且通常在正极片232a和负极片232b之间设有隔离件231。隔离件231用于隔离正极片232a和负极片232b,并使电池单体20内的电子不能自由穿过,让电解液中的离子在正极片232a和负极片232b之间自由流动。隔离件231可以是PE(polyethylene,聚乙烯)、PP(polypropylene,聚丙烯)等材料制备而成的薄膜件。
正极片232a和负极片232b具有活性物质的部分构成电芯组件23的主体部,正极片232a和负极片232b不具有活性物质的部分各自构成极耳。正极耳t1和负极耳t2可以共同位于主体部的一端或是分别位于主体部的两端(图7至图10所示正极耳t1和负极耳t2共同位于主体部的一端)。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,极耳连接电极端子以形成电流回路。
根据本申请的一些实施例,参照图8至图10,并请进一步参照图7,本申请提供了一种电极组件232,该电极组件232包括交替设置的正极片232a和负极片232b。至少一相邻的正极片232a和负极片232b朝向彼此的一侧表面设有咬合部p。位于正极片232a上的咬合部p与位于对应的负极片232b上的咬合部p构造为能够相互咬合,以能够限制相邻的正极片232a和负极片232b的自由度。
以图8至图10为例,示例性的,正极片232a在厚度方向δ上相对设置的两个表面均设置有咬合部p。与正极片232a相邻的两个负极片232b中,该两个负极片232b朝向该正极片232a的一侧表面均设有咬合部p。可以结合实际使用工况中的受力情况,对应设置咬合部p,本申请实施例对此不作具体限制。
需要说明的是,“位于正极片232a上的咬合部p与位于对应的负极片232b上的咬合部p构造为能够相互咬合”指的是相邻的正极片232a和负极片232b朝向彼此的一侧表面上配合设置有凸起和凹陷,通过凸起和凹陷的配合能够形成相互接触卡住的咬合关系。“限制相邻的正极片232a和负极片232b的自由度”指的是通过前述所言能够形成相互接触卡住的咬合关系,使得正极片232a和负极片232b之间能够更为紧密地连接在一起,以在相邻的正极片232a和负极片232b的至少其中之一受到外部作用力时,由于相邻的正极片232a和负极片 232b之间具有咬合关系,相邻的正极片232a和负极片232b之间可以对彼此产生一定的束缚。产生的束缚力的方向即可以理解为限制了该方向上的自由度。还可以理解的是,产生的束缚力的方向与咬合部p的构造、外部作用力的方向相关。而一旦设置有能够相互咬合的咬合部p,即是在设置有咬合部p的部位形成了相对固定的关系。换言之,该相对固定的关系能够限制相邻的正极片232a和负极片232b的自由度。
可以理解的是,可以根据使用需要对任一相邻的正极片232a和负极片232b设置能够相互咬合的咬合部p,具体设置形式和数量本申请实施例对此不作具体限制。
因此,通过在至少一相邻的正极片232a和负极片232b朝向彼此的一侧表面设有咬合部p,相对应的咬合部p之间能够相互咬合。在电池100受到外部作用力时,相互咬合的咬合部p可以对至少一相邻的正极片232a和负极片232b之间产生相互作用力,对该正极片232a和该负极片232b产生束缚,避免该正极片232a和该负极片232b在外部作用力的影响下产生相对滑移,进而能够避免因正负极片错位而恶化电池100性能的问题,提高了电池100的可靠性。而咬合部p的结构,使得相邻的正极片232a和负极片232b之间产生有更多的间隙,可以提供更多的电解液存储空间和离子通道,有效改善电解液浸润速度慢以及电解液保液不足的问题。在电池100的充放电过程中,该间隙还可以降低产生的膨胀力,避免因膨胀力过大而引起循环失效。
根据本申请的一些实施例,可选地,请继续参考图8至图10,沿电极组件232的厚度方向δ,咬合部p的截面面积自咬合部p所在极片的一侧表面,沿背离咬合部p所在极片的方向逐渐减小。
其中,电芯组件23的宽度方向也为电极组件232的宽度方向,电芯组件23的厚度方向也为电极组件232的厚度方向,电芯组件23的高度方向也为电极组件232的高度方向。也即是,电极组件232的宽度方向也为W,电极组件232的厚度方向也为δ,电极组件232的高度方向也为H。
由于咬合部p的截面面积是逐渐减小的,相互咬合的咬合部p之间可以形成类似楔形结构的受力结构,可以更进一步增大对对应的正极片232a和负极片232b的束缚力。如此,可以更进一步避免该正极片232a和该负极片232b在外部作用力的影响下产生相对滑移。
根据本申请的一些实施例,可选地,请继续参考图8至图10,沿电极组件232的厚度方向δ,咬合部p的截面面积自咬合部p所在极片的一侧表面,沿背离咬合部p所在极片的方向呈线性减小。
呈线性减小是指沿电极组件232的厚度方向δ,咬合部p的截面面积减小的速度均匀,呈直线形下降。此时,咬合部p易于成型,也有助于相互咬合的咬合部p形成的咬合结构在受力时可以达到更为稳定的状态。进而,也可以使得对应的正极片232a和负极片232b在外部作用力的影响下还能保持更为稳定的状态。
根据本申请的一些实施例,可选地,请继续参考图8至图10,沿电极组件232的厚度方向δ,咬合部p的截面形状为三角形。根据本申请的另一些实施例,可选地,请参考图11至图13,图11为本申请另一些实施例中图7的C-C的断面图,图12为图11中I处的局部放大结构示意图,图13为图12中J处的局部放大结构示意图,沿电极组件232的厚度方向δ,咬合部p的截面形状为弧形。根据本申请的又一些实施例,可选地,请参考图14至图17,图14为本申请又一些实施例中图7的C-C的断面图,图15为图14中K处的局部放大结构示意图,图16为图15中L处的局部放大结构示意图,图17为图15中M处的局部放大结构示意图,沿电极组件232的厚度方向δ,咬合部p的截面形状为梯形。
需要说明的是,位于同一极片上不同侧的咬合部p的形状可以相同,也可以不同。例如,图8、图11和图14所示的正极片232a的不同侧的咬合部p的形状是相同的。在相邻的正极片232a和负极片232b中,位于正极片232a上的咬合部p与位于对应的负极片232b上的咬合部p的形状可以相同,也可以不同。例如,图8和图11所示的在相邻的正极片232a和负极片232b中,位于正极片232a上的咬合部p与位于对应的负极片232b上的咬合部p的形状相同。又例如,图14至图17所示的在相邻的正极片232a和负极片232b中,位于正极片232a上的咬合部p与位于对应的负极片232b上的咬合部p的形状不同。只要可以实现相对应的咬合部p能够相互咬合即可,本申请实施例对此不作具体限制。
如此,可以通过设计咬合部p的结构,实现所需要的能够相互配合的咬合结构。
根据本申请的一些实施例,可选地,咬合部p构造为沿预设方向延伸,预设方向与电极组件232的宽度方向W平行。
根据本申请的另一些实施例,可选地,咬合部p构造为沿预设方向延伸,预设方向与电极组件232的高度方向H平行。
根据本申请的又一些实施例,可选地,咬合部p构造为沿预设方向延伸,预设方向与电极组件232的高度方向H呈角度设置且预设方向与电极组件232的高度方向H彼此不垂直。该角度可以是10°、20°、50°、100°、120°等。可以根据实际使用情况进行设置,本申请实施例对此不作具体限制。
例如,请参考图18,图18为本申请一些实施例中一个视角下正极片232a的结构示意图,图18示出预设方向与电极组件232的高度方向H平行,正极片232a上的咬合部p沿电极组件232的高度方向H延伸的情形。
又例如,请参考图19,图19为本申请另一些实施例中一个视角下正极片232a的结构示意图,图19示出预设方向与电极组件232的宽度方向W平行,正极片232a上的咬合部p沿电极组件232的宽度方向W延伸的情形。
再例如,请参考图20,图20为本申请又一些实施例中一个视角下正极片232a的结构示意图,图20示出预设方向与电极组件232的高度方向H呈角度设置,正极片232a上的 咬合部p的延伸方向与电极组件232的高度方向H呈角度设置,且该角度为锐角的情形。
可选地,在该电极组件232应用于如图7所示的叠片式结构的电芯组件23时,由于叠片式结构在高度方向H上有焊接固定的正极耳t1以及焊接固定的负极耳t2进行束缚,可以将咬合部p构造为沿电极组件232的高度方向H延伸。如此,可以借助咬合部p对正极片232a和负极片232b在沿电极组件232的宽度方向W上进行束缚,可以更进一步有效避免在滥用工况下正极片232a和负极片232b沿电极组件232的宽度方向W上的位移,进而避免产生对齐度偏差。
因此,通过构造咬合部p的延伸方向,可以在不同方向上对相邻的正极片232a和负极片232b的自由度的限制进行调整,得到所需的咬合部p的延伸方向。如此,可以根据实际使用情况,设置所需的预设方向。
根据本申请的一些实施例,可选地,位于同一极片的同一表面的咬合部p包括多个,全部咬合部p不连续布置。
根据本申请的又一些实施例,可选地,位于同一极片的同一表面的咬合部p包括多个,全部咬合部p连续布置。
需要说明的是,“连续布置”指的是位于同一极片的同一表面的全部咬合部p沿所需要的方向依次布置,且相邻的咬合部p之间相连接。沿电极组件232的厚度方向δ,位于同一极片的同一表面的全部咬合部p的截面形状包括一种或多种,形成了连续分布。“不连续布置”指的是位于同一极片的同一表面的全部咬合部p沿所需要的方向依次布置,且至少一相邻的咬合部p之间具有间隔。沿电极组件232的厚度方向δ,位于同一极片的同一表面的全部咬合部p的截面形状包括一种或多种,形成了不连续分布。
例如,以图8和图11为例,在位于同一极片的同一表面的咬合部p包括多个,沿电极组件232的厚度方向δ,全部咬合部p的截面形状为同一形状时,沿全部咬合部p的布置方向,相邻的咬合部p之间相连接,形成了连续布置的结构。又例如,以图14至图17为例,沿电极组件232的厚度方向δ,如图16所示,位于正极片232a的同一表面的全部咬合部p的截面形状为梯形,且相邻的咬合部p之间相连接,形成了连续布置的结构。相对应地,沿电极组件232的厚度方向δ,位于负极片232b的同一表面的全部咬合部p的截面形状为三角形,可以看到,如图17所示,相邻的咬合部p之间具有间隔,形成了不连续布置的结构。再例如,以图21为例,图21为本申请一些实施例中正极片232a和负极片232b相配合的局部放大结构示意图(为便于说明,省略了隔离件231,仅示出了正极片232a的第一活性层a1和负极片232b的第二活性层a2),沿电极组件232的厚度方向δ,位于正极片232a的同一表面的全部咬合部p的截面形状包括三角形和梯形,且相邻的咬合部p之间相连接,形成了连续布置的结构。相对应地,位于负极片232b的同一表面的全部咬合部p的截面形状为三角形,有的相邻的咬合部p之间相连接,有的相邻的咬合部p之间具有间隔,形成了不连续布置的 结构。
根据本申请的又一些实施例,可选地,位于同一极片的同一表面的咬合部p包括多个,全部咬合部p布置于电极组件232的第一侧f1,第一侧f1为第二侧f2的相对侧,第二侧f2为电极组件232上用于设置极耳的一侧。如此,咬合部p和极耳分别在电极组件232的不同侧对电极组件232产生束缚。
因此,通过设计咬合部p的布置方式,可以对电极组件232中所需部位进行束缚。如此,可以结合电极组件232受到外部作用力时的受力特性来布置咬合部p,以更进一步实现所需部位的自由度的限制。
根据本申请的一些实施例,可选地,请继续参照图8至图10,并结合参照图11和图14,至少一相邻的正极片232a和负极片232b在朝向彼此的一侧表面构造形成有背离彼此凹陷的多个凹陷部q。位于同一极片的同一侧表面上,相邻的凹陷部q之间形成有咬合部p。
如此,通过借助电极组件232的结构特点,设置凹陷部q的形式来形成咬合部p,便于制造,且易于成型。
根据本申请的一些实施例,可选地,请继续参照图8至图10,并结合参照图11和图14,至少一相邻的正极片232a和负极片232b朝向彼此的一侧表面设有活性层;凹陷部q对应形成于活性层上。
本申请实施例提供的正极片232a包括第一集流体c1及第一活性层a1,第一活性层a1覆设于第一集流体c1的厚度方向δ(即图示中的厚度方向δ)的至少一侧。负极片232b包括第二集流体c2及第二活性层a2,第二活性层a2覆设于第一集流体c1的厚度方向δ(即图示中的厚度方向δ)的至少一侧。
第一集流体c1和第二集流体c2是用于承载活性物质的构件,其作用主要是将活性物质产生的电流汇集起来以便形成较大的电流对外输出。因此,第一集流体c1和第二集流体c2应与活性物质充分接触,并且内阻应尽可能小为佳。根据所承载的活性物质不同,当承载正极活性物质,第一集流体c1可以是铝箔,当承载负极活性物质,第一集流体c1可以是铜箔。
第一集流体c1和第二集流体c2可以是单层构件(如第一集流体c1可以是铝箔、第一集流体c1可以是铜箔),第一集流体c1和第二集流体c2也可以是复合层构件。当第一集流体c1和第二集流体c2是复合层构件,第一集流体c1和第二集流体c2可以包括中间层及层叠在中间层两侧的两层集流金属层,活性材料承载在集流金属层与中间层相背离的一侧。中间层可以是高分子支撑层,具体可以是聚乙烯支撑层、聚丙烯撑层、聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯支撑层、聚苯乙烯支撑层等等。
第一活性层a1通常是由包含有活性材料的浆料涂覆于第一集流体c1后经冷压制得。相应地,第二活性层a2通常是由包含有活性材料的浆料涂覆于第二集流体c2后经冷压制得。第一活性层a1所包含的活性材料则为正极活性材料,如磷酸铁锂、锰酸锂、钴酸锂、镍钴锰 三元材料与镍钴铝酸锂等。第二活性层a2所包含的活性材料则为负极活性材料,如碳负极材料、锡基负极材料、含锂过渡金属氮化物负极材料、合金类负极材料和纳米级负极材料等。
可以在第一集流体c1的厚度方向δ的两侧均覆设第一活性层a1,且两侧的第一活性层a1的极性可以相同也可以不同。通常,覆设在第一集流体c1厚度方向δ的两侧的两个第一活性层a1极性相反,一个作为正极活性层另一作为负极活性层。相对应的,可以在第二集流体c2的厚度方向δ的两侧均覆设第二活性层a2,且两侧的第二活性层a2的极性可以相同也可以不同。对于最外侧的负极片232b而言,第二集流体c2面向相邻的正极片232a的一侧覆设第二活性层a2。
当凹陷部q形成于活性层上时,可以在对应的集流体上涂覆包含有活性材料的浆料的冷压形成对应的活性层之后,利用蚀刻的方式在活性层上蚀刻加工出凹陷部q,如此,可以形成所需要的咬合部p。当然,也可以直接通过涂覆或者冷压的方式形成所需要的咬合部p。例如,通过冷压辊的凹陷深度h1来控制得到所需要的咬合部p。可以根据实际使用情形进行选择,本申请实施例对此不作具体限制。可选地,可以通过冷压后再进行蚀刻的方式获得所需要的咬合部p,如此,咬合部p的成型易于控制。
如此,通过在活性层上形成凹陷部q,不仅可以避免对电极组件232中的集流体造成损伤,降低电极组件232断裂的风险,还可以避免带来压密差异,进而避免影响电芯性能。在此基础之上,能够避免降低极片的冷压厚度h2,进而避免降低电芯容量和电芯能量密度。
根据本申请的一些实施例,可选地,请继续参照图9、图12和图15,凹陷部q的凹陷深度h1与活性层的厚度h2满足条件:h1与h2的比值为约0.03至约0.1。
一方面,可以避免凹陷深度h1过大而无法满足嵌锂需求,进而避免发生析锂;另一方面,可以避免凹陷深度h1过小而导致难以实现相配合的咬合部p之间有效的咬合,从而使得在受到外部作用力时,相配合的咬合部p形成的咬合结构可以对对应的正极片232a和负极片232b产生更为有效地束缚力。
根据本申请的一些实施例,可选地,位于正极片232a上的咬合部p与位于对应的负极片232b上的咬合部p间隙配合。
如此,可以避免因过盈配合而导致对应的正极片232a与负极片232b之间产生挤压,进而降低了断裂的风险。
根据本申请的一些实施例,可选地,位于正极片232a上的咬合部p与位于对应的负极片232b上的咬合部p的装配间隙小于等于约30微米。
可以避免因间隙过大而导致后续电池100使用过程中锂离子迁移路径过长,如此,使得从正极片232a脱嵌的锂离子能够顺利嵌入负极片232b,避免在负极片232b出现析锂。
根据本申请的一些实施例,本申请还提供了一种电池单体20,包括壳体22及容纳于壳体22内的电芯组件23。如图7所示,结合参照图8,电芯组件23包括隔离件231和以上 任一方案中的电极组件232,隔离件231设置于正极片232a和负极片232b之间。因为该电池单体20中包括上述电极组件232,因此其具备上述所有有益效果,在此不赘述。
根据本申请的一些实施例,可选地,负极片232b的单位面积容量与正极片232a的单位面积容量的比值大于或等于约1。
负极片232b的单位面积容量与正极片232a的单位面积容量的比值大于等于约1时,负极片232b可嵌入的锂离子数量与正极片232a可脱嵌的锂离子数量的比值大于或等于约1。
在充电过程中,正极片232a中的锂被电离形成锂离子,锂离子进入电解液后经过隔离件231而嵌入到负极片232b中,若不能顺利嵌入负极片232b则会析出在负极片232b表面。具体地,负极片232b的单位面积容量与正极片232a的单位面积容量的比值可以为1、2、3,如此,负极片232b材料用料较为适当,可降低成本。
此时,可保证从正极片232a脱嵌的锂离子能够顺利嵌入负极片232b,避免在负极片232b出现析锂。
根据本申请的一些实施例,可选地,电芯组件23为卷绕式结构。根据本申请的一些实施例,可选地,电芯组件23为叠片式结构。如此,可以根据使用需求,选择使用卷绕式结构的电芯组件23或者叠片式结构的电芯组件23。
根据本申请的一些实施例,本申请还提供了一种电池100,包括以上任一方案中的电池单体20。因为该电池100中包括上述电极组件232,因此其具备上述所有有益效果,在此不赘述。
根据本申请的一些实施例,本申请还提供了一种用电装置,包括以上任一方案中的电池100,并且电池100用于为用电装置提供电能。
用电装置可以是前述任一应用电池100的设备或系统。
综上所述,本申请提供的电极组件232中,具备有咬合部p的正极片232a和负极片232b在整形后可以形成有效咬合,使得相邻的正极片232a和负极片232b之间形成有效支撑,在受到外部作用力时,可以限制相邻的正极片232a和负极片232b之间的自由度,避免引起正极片232a和负极片232b之间的相对移动,进而降低了因对齐度偏差带来的风险。同时,由于可以对咬合部p的结构进行设计,使得相邻的正极片232a和负极片232b之间产生有更多的间隙,可以提供更多的电解液存储空间和离子通道,有效改善电解液浸润速度慢以及电解液保液不足的问题。在电池100的充放电过程中,该间隙还可以降低产生的膨胀力,避免因膨胀力过大而引起循环失效。因此,对于应用有该电极组件232的电池100而言,提高了该电池100的可靠性。
最后应说明的是:以上各实施例仅用以说明本申请的技术方案,而非对其限制;尽管参照前述各实施例对本申请进行了详细的说明,本领域的普通技术人员应当理解:其依然可以对前述各实施例所记载的技术方案进行修改,或者对其中部分或者全部技术特征进行等同 替换;而这些修改或者替换,并不使相应技术方案的本质脱离本申请各实施例技术方案的范围,其均应涵盖在本申请的权利要求和说明书的范围当中。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。
