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。
本申请人注意到,在一些情形下电池结构中,其内部通常设置有加热装置,以用于对电池单体进行加热处理,保证电池在低温环境中的工作需求。然而,已有的加热装置结构存在缺陷,容易出现褶皱并导致干烧现象的发生,影响电池整体的安全性能。本申请人进一步研究发现,已有的加热装置通常采用印刷工艺等制备的加热膜形式,其长度方向不能延展设置,当电池单体膨胀导致厚度变化时,已有的加热装置无法兼容电池单体膨胀引起的厚度变化,使得加热装置自身容易出现褶皱,甚至出现干烧现象的发生,影响电池的安全性能。
为了缓解加热装置出现褶皱甚至干烧问题的发生,申请人研究发现,可以通过改变加热装置的结构,使其形态能够随电池单体的厚度变化而变化,以兼容电池单体膨胀引起的厚度改变。
基于以上考虑,为了解决加热装置出现褶皱甚至干烧问题的发生的问题,发明人经过深入研究,设计了一种加热装置,加热装置包括加热片以及转接部件,加热片用于加热电池单体,加热片在自身长度方向上可拉伸设置。转接部件用于将加热片连接于电池单体,转接部件包括两个以上沿长度方向分布的转接体。其中,加热装置能够由初始状态切换至拉伸状态;在初始状态,沿长度方向,加热片的长度尺寸为第一尺寸,相邻两个转接体相连接;在拉伸状态,沿长度方向,加热片被拉伸且由第一尺寸伸长至第二尺寸,至少两个相邻的转接体彼此断开设置。
在这样的电池单体中,通过转接部件能够将加热片连接于电池单体,利用加热片对电池单体进行加热,保证电池单体能够在预定温度下工作。由于加热片在自身长度方向上可拉伸设置,且转接部件包括两个以上沿长度方向分布的转接体,且加热装置能够由初始状态切换至拉伸状态,当电池单体发生膨胀时,加热装置能够由初始状态切换至拉伸状态,加热片由第一尺寸伸长至第二尺寸,且至少两个相邻的转接体彼此断开设置,能够兼容电池单体膨胀引起的厚度变化,由于加热片的伸长以及转接体 的断开设置,能够避免加热片褶皱现象的发生,可始终与相应的电池单体连接,避免干烧现象的发生,保证电池的安全性能。
