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。
本申请人注意到,动力电池的电池单体中具有电极端子、电芯以及转接部件,电极端子通过转接部件与电芯的极耳电连接,现有技术中,转接部件与电极端子之间通过焊接固定,但是,焊接过程中易于残留金属屑,残留的金属屑易于导致电芯短路等问题,增加了安全风险,因此,如何降低因金属屑残留引起的安全风险的问题成为本领域技术人员亟需解决的技术问题。
为了解决降低因金属屑残留引起的安全风险的问题,申请人研究发现,将电极端子的底面伸出端盖的引出孔,当电极端子与转接部件焊接固定时,可使用便于金属屑清理的转接部件,减小了焊接后金属屑的残留,降低了因金属屑残留导致的安全风险。

图4为本申请一些实施例提供的电池单体的分解结构示意图。电池单体10是指组成电池的最小单元。如图4,电池单体10包括端盖组件1、壳体3、电芯组件2以及转接部件4,其中,端盖组件1包括端盖11以及设于端盖上的电极端子12。
端盖11是指盖合于壳体3的开口处以将电池单体10的内部环境隔绝于外部环境的部件。端盖11的形状可以与壳体3的形状相适应以配合壳体3。可选地,端盖11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11在受挤压碰撞时就不易发生形变,使电池单体10能够具备更高的结构强度,安全性能也可以有所提高。
壳体3是用于配合端盖11以形成电池单体10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2、电解液(在图中未示出)以及其他部件。壳体3和端盖11可以是独立的部件,可以于壳体3上设置开口,通过在开口处使端盖11盖合开口以形成电池单体10的内部环境。壳体3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3的形状可以根据电芯组件2的具体形状和尺寸大小来确定。壳体3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。
电芯组件2是电池单体10中发生电化学反应的部件。壳体3内可以包含一个或更多个电芯组件2。电芯组件2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芯组件2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(在图中未示出)。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。
电极端子12是设置在端盖11上且用于与电芯组件2电连接,并用于输出或输入电池单体的电能的部件。电极端子12通过转接部件(图中未示出)与电芯组件2的极耳电连接,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。
转接部件是导电部件,电极端子12通过转接部件进行电连接。示例性地,转接部件与电极端子12连接时,通常通过激光焊接的方式进行。转接部件的材料包括但不限于铜镀镍或镍带等,其中,由于铜镀镍或镍带具有点焊效果好、内阻更低、抗氧化和耐腐蚀等优点,采用由铜镀镍或镍带制成的转接部件可以使电池组的放电时间更长,放电效果更佳。
如图4至图10所示,本申请提出了一种用于电池单体10的端盖组件1,该端盖组件1包括端盖11和电极端子12,端盖11设有引出孔113,电极端子12安装于端盖11,并且部分电极端子12穿设于引出孔113,电极端子12的底面125伸出引出孔113,并用于与电池单体10的转接部件4焊接固定。
电极端子12的底面125是指,电极端子12远离端盖外侧的面。当端盖组件1在电池单体10的壳体3上安装完毕后,电极端子12位于电池单体10的内部并且面向电芯组件的侧面,同时,电极端子12的底面125也用于与转接部件4焊接固定。
引出孔113是指开设在端盖11上的孔状结构,通过该孔状结构能够使得端盖11的相反两侧能够实现连通。引出孔113的形状可以为圆形、矩形、三 角形、菱形或其它形状,另外,电极端子12位于在引出孔113内的本体的形状与引出孔113的形状相一致,以便于电极端子12在引出孔113内的插拔。
部分电极端子12穿设于引出孔113是指,电极端子12穿设于引出孔113,并且电极端子12的部分本体位于引出孔113的内部,电极端子12的部分本体位于引出孔113的外部。
焊接固定是指利用焊接的方式将转接部件4和电极端子12连接固定。
在现有技术中,转接部件4在对应引出孔113的位置设置有凸包,在转接部件4与电极端子12连接时,凸包进入到引出孔113内并与电极端子12相抵接,在将转接部件4与电极端子12进行焊接的过程中,会产生金属屑,由于仿形结构的尺寸较小,在对金属屑清理的过程中无法保证清理的效果,极易出现金属屑残留的情况,残留的金属屑进入到电池单体10的壳体3内部后,金属屑会刺破电芯组件的隔膜而导致电芯组件短路的情况。
本申请中,当端盖组件1用于电池单体10并与电池单体10的转接部件4进行连接时,由于电极端子12的底面125凸伸出引出孔113设置,电极端子12与转接部件4焊接固定时,可使用便于金属屑清理的转接部件4,减小了焊接后金属屑的残留,降低了因金属屑残留导致的安全风险。
需要理解的是,将电极端子12的底面125凸出引出孔113设置,无需将转接部件4延伸至引出孔113内,当电极端子12与转接部件4焊接固定后,在对焊接后的金属屑进行清理时,转接部件4不进入到引出孔113内,相比于现有具有仿形结构的转接部件4,清理的效果更佳,不会出现金属屑残留在仿形结构内部的情况,提高了对金属屑的清理效果。
在本申请的一些实施例中,如图8所示,沿引出孔113的轴向,端盖11的下表面114具有与转接部件4相对设置的第一区域1141,转接部件4与第一区域1141间隔设置。
端盖11的下表面114是指端盖11的一个侧面,当端盖组件1在电池单体10的壳体3上安装完毕后,下表面114面向电池单体10的内部设置。
第一区域1141形成在端盖11的下表面114上,其可以为下表面114的一部分,也可以为下表面114的全部。
具体地,引出孔113形成在第一区域1141内,当电极端子12在端盖11上安装到位后,电极端子12的底面125凸出引出孔113设置,此时电极端子12的底面125也凸出第一区域1141设置,电极端子12与转接部件4连接后,通过将第一区域1141与转接部件4间隔设置,使得转接部件4与端盖11之间具有足够的空间,以容纳电极端子12的凸出部分。另外,将端盖转接部件4与第一区域1141间隔设置,可以避免转接部件4与端盖11干涉,提高转接部件4与电极端子12焊接的稳定性。
在本申请的一些实施例中,如图8所示,沿引出孔113的轴向,转接部件4与第一区域1141之间的距离为L,其中,0<L≤0.3mm。
具体地,当转接部件4与下表面114之间的距离大于0,且小于或等于0.3mm时,能够使得转接部件4与下表面114间隔设置,以降低焊接热量向端盖11进行传递,降低了焊接热量对端盖11产生的不良影响。
需要指出的是,在本申请中,转接部件4与下表面114之间的距离的取值可以为0.05mm、0.1mm、0.15mm、0.2mm、0.25mm……0.3mm中的任一数值。
另外,转接部件4与第一区域1141之间的距离为L,其中,L是指转接部件4与区域之间的最短距离,例如,当两者均为平面结构时,在引出孔的轴向上,两者之间间隔的距离即为L,再例如,当两者中的一个为斜面结构时,另一者为平面结构时,在引出孔113的轴向上,平面结构与斜面结构最近的位置的距离为L等等。
在本申请的一些实施例中,底面125的伸出高度为T,其中,T∈[0.05mm,1mm]。
底面125的伸出高度是指,电极端子12的底面125凸出在引出孔113的外侧,沿引出孔113的轴向,电极端子12的底面125与引出孔113的孔口之 间的距离。底面125的伸出高度为T,其中,T为底面125与引出孔113的孔口之间的最短距离,例如,当均为平面结构且底面125为平面时,在引出孔的轴向上,底面125与引出孔的孔口之间间隔的距离即为T,再例如,当两者中的一个为斜面结构时,另一者为平面结构时,在引出孔113的轴向上,平面结构与斜面结构最近的位置的距离为L等等。
具体地,将电极端12子的底面125相对引出孔113的伸出高度的取值设置在[0.05mm,1mm]的区间内,电极端子12与转接部件4焊接固定的过程中,便于金属屑清理的基础上,减少了焊接固定时产生的热量对端盖11产生不良影响的情况,还可以减少电极端子12占用的空间。
需要理解的是,当电极端子12的底面125伸出高度越大时,电极端子12的底面125与端盖11的引出孔113的孔口设置,此时对焊接热量的阻止效果越佳,但是占用电池单体10的内部的空间越大;当电极端子12的底面125的伸出高度越小时,电极端子12的底面125与引出孔113的孔口之间更加靠近设置,此时对焊接热量的阻止效果越差,但是占用电池单体10的内部的空间越小。因此,将电极端子12的底面125相对引出孔113的伸出高度的取值设置在[0.05mm,1mm]的区间内,在有效阻止焊接热量传递的基础上,有效减小了对电池单体10的内部空间的占用。
进一步地,当电极端子12的底面125的凸出高度小于0.05mm时,电极端子12与转接部件4焊接固定的过程中,焊接热量会传递至端盖11上,使得端盖11受热发生变形等不良情况;当电极端子12的底面125的凸出高度大于1mm时,电极端子12向电池单体10的内部延伸长度过大,从而占用了电池单体10的内部空间,不利于电池单体10的内部结构的布局。
需要指出的是,在本申请中,电极端子12的底面125的凸出高度的取值可以为0.05mm、0.10mm、0.15mm、0.20mm、0.25mm、0.30mm、0.35mm、0.40mm、0.45mm、0.50mm、0.55mm、0.60mm、0.65mm、0.70mm、0.75mm、0.80mm、0.85mm、0.90mm、0.95mm……1.00mm中的任一数值。
在本申请的一些实施例中,电极端子12的底面125的凸出高度T=0.2mm或者T=0.3mm。
在本实施例的一些实施例中,电极端子12的底面125的凸出高度为0.2mm。通过将电极端子12的底面125的凸出高度的取值设置为0.2mm,在保证电极端子12与转接部件4的焊接热量不被传递至端盖11上的基础上,有效地减小了电极端子12的凸出高度,减小了对电池单体10的内部空间产生的不良影响。
在本实施例的一些实施例中,电极端子12的底面125的凸出高度为0.3mm。通过将电极端子12的底面125的凸出高度设置为0.3mm,在保证电极端子12对电池单体10的内部空间影响较小的基础上,使得电极端子12的底面125更加端盖11设置,降低了电极端子12与转接部件4的焊接热量传递至端盖11上。
在本申请的一些实施例中,如图7至图9所示,电极端子12包括端子板122和延伸部分121,端子板122位于端盖11的一侧且覆盖引出孔113,端盖组件1还包括密封圈13,至少部分密封圈13位于端子板122与端盖11之间,以密封引出孔113,延伸部分121伸入引出孔113中,沿引出孔113的径向,如图7所示,延伸部分121与密封圈13之间的距离为k,k∈[1.5mm,2.5mm]。
具体地,电极端子12具有相连的端子板122与延伸部分121,其中,延伸部分121穿设于端盖11的引出孔113,端子板122位于引出孔113的外侧且对引出孔113进行覆盖,电极端子12的底面125形成在延伸部分121上,并且延伸部分121具有底面125的一端伸出引出孔113设置,密封圈13套设在延伸部分121的径向外侧,并且部分密封圈13将端子板122与端盖11之间进行密封。
设置密封圈13实现了对引出孔113的密封,有效实现了电池单体10的内外隔离,同时,将延伸部分121与密封圈13之间间隔设置,减少了焊接热量向密封圈13的传递,减小了焊接热量对密封圈13产生的不良影响,保证 了密封圈13的密封效果。
另外,通过将延伸部分121与密封圈13之间的距离的取值设置在[1.5mm,2.5mm]的区间内,使得密封圈13与延伸部分121具有良好的间隔区间,避免电极端子12与转接部件4焊接固定的过程中将热量传递至密封圈13上。在此基础上,也使得结构更加紧凑,防止占用电池单体10的空间。
需要指出的是,延伸部分121与密封圈13之间的距离k小于1.5mm时,密封圈13与延伸部分121之间的间隙较小,在电极端子12与转接部件4焊接过程中,较小的间隙易于导致焊接热量传递至密封圈13,从而易于造成密封圈13的损坏,同时也不便于对密封圈13的安装;当延伸部分121与密封圈13之间的间隙大于2.5mm时,密封圈13与延伸部分121之间的间隙较大,较大的间隙会在密封圈13的径向上产生位移,易于导致安装精度降低。
需要指出的是,在本申请中,延伸部分121与密封圈13之间的距离的取值可以为1.5mm、1.6mm、1.7mm、1.8mm、1.9mm、2.0mm、2.1mm、2.2mm、2.3mm、2.4mm……2.5mm中的任一数值。
在本申请的一些实施例中,延伸部分121与密封圈13之间的距离为k=1.6mm或2mm。
在本实施例的一些实施例中,延伸部分121与密封圈13之间的距离为1.6mm。通过将延伸部分121与密封圈13之间的距离的取值设置为1.6mm,保证了密封圈13和延伸部分121有效的安装,也实现了对焊接热量的阻热,同时能够使得结构更加小巧紧凑,减少在电池单体10上所占用的空间。
在本实施例的一些实施例中,延伸部分121与密封圈13之间的距离为2mm。通过将延伸部分121与密封圈13之间的距离的取值设置为2mm,适当增大预设间隙的取值,能够使得延伸部分121与密封圈13之间的距离得到了增大,进一步增强了对焊接热量的阻热效果,同时也便于装配过程中的定位操作。
在本申请的一些实施例中,如图7至图9所示,密封圈13包括第一部分 131和第二部分132,第一部分131位于端子板122与端盖11之间,第二部分132伸入引出孔113中,沿引出孔113的径向,延伸部分121与第二部分132之间的距离为k,k∈[1.5mm,2.5mm]。
具体地,在引出孔113的径向上,端子板122的尺寸大于引出孔113的尺寸,延伸部分121的尺寸小于引出孔113的尺寸,密封圈13套设在延伸部分121的外侧,当电极端子12安装到位后,密封圈13的第一部分131被挤压设置在端子板122与端盖11之间,密封圈13的第二部分132设置在引出孔113内且与引出孔113的孔壁贴合(与延伸部分121间隔设置)。将密封圈13设置成第一部分131和第二部分132,可以提高密封圈13的定位效果,从而提高了密封圈13的密封效果。
需要理解的是,通过将延伸部分121与第二部分132之间的距离的取值设置在[1.5mm,2.5mm]的区间内,使得第二部分132与延伸部分121具有良好的间隔区间,避免电极端子12与转接部件4焊接固定的过程中将热量传递至密封圈13上。在此基础上,也能够有效提高安装的精度。
在本申请的一些实施例中,如图7所示,延伸部分121为圆柱结构,密封圈13为圆环件,圆柱结构的直径为d1,圆环件的内径为d2,其中,d1/d2∈[0.75,2.5]。
具体地,将延伸部分121设置成圆柱结构,以及将密封圈13设置成圆环件,便于安装过程中的密封圈13与延伸部分121的同轴装配,提高了密封圈13的装配精度。另外,将圆柱结构的直径和圆环件的内径的比值设置在[0.75,2.5]的区间内,使得延伸部分121具有足够大的截面,以便于与转接部件4连接后具有较大的过流面积,减少了连接位置发热影响电池单体10的性能的情况。
需要理解的是,延伸部分121设置成圆柱结构,密封圈13设置成圆环件,便于两者在制造过程中的加工,使得加工的效率得到了提高,另外,圆柱结构和圆环件在进行装配的过程中,需要使用套筒作为安装的辅助工具,密封 圈13套装在套筒的外侧,延伸部分121插接在套筒的内侧,利用套筒能够快速将密封圈13和延伸部分121的同轴设置,以此来实现对密封圈13以及电极端子12的定位安装,从而提高了安装的精度。
此外,当密封圈13以及延伸部分121的安装精度得到满足的基础上,焊接过程中的热量能够有效被阻隔,避免焊接热量自延伸部分121传递至密封圈13上,使得密封圈13被有效地保护。
需要指出的是,在本申请中,d1/d2的取值可以为0.75、1、1.25、1.5、1.75、2.0、2.25……2.5中的任一数值。
在本申请的一些实施例中,圆柱结构的直径d1∈[12mm,16mm],圆环件的内径为d2∈[15.2mm,20mm]。
具体地,通过将圆柱结构的直径以及圆环件的内径设置为上述数值,进一步提高了密封圈13的安装精度,以及为圆柱结构的延伸部分121具有较大的截面积,使得与转接部件4之间的过流面积得到了进一步地提高。
需要指出的是,在本申请中,d1的取值可以为12mm、13mm、14mm、15mm……16mm中的任一数值。d1的取值可以为15.2mm、15.5mm、16mm、16.5mm……20mm中的任一数值。
在本申请的一些实施例中,圆柱结构的直径d1=12mm,圆环件的内径d2=15.2mm,其中,d1/d2=0.79,或者圆柱结构的直径d1=16mm,圆环件的内径d2=20mm,其中,d1/d2=0.8。
在本实施例的一些实施例中,圆柱结构的直径d1=12mm,圆环件的内径d2=15.2mm,其中,d1/d2=0.79,使得为圆环件的密封圈13和为圆柱结构的延伸部分121之间能够满足套筒(辅助安装工具)的插入需求,从而保证了密封圈13的安装精度,以及为圆柱结构的延伸部分121具有较大的截面积,使得与转接部件4之间的过流面积得到了增大,减少了使用过程中发热量大导致脱焊等不良情况。
在本实施例的一些实施例中,设置圆柱结构的直径d1=16mm,圆环件的 内径d2=20mm,其中,d1/d2=0.8,使得为圆环件的密封圈13和为圆柱结构的延伸部分121之间能够满足套筒的插入需求,从而保证了密封圈13的安装精度,以及为圆柱结构的延伸部分121具有更大的截面积,进一步增大了延伸部分121与转接部件4之间的过流面积,进一步减少了使用过程中发热量大导致脱焊等不良情况的发生。
在本申请的一些实施例中,如图7至图10所示,电极端子12还包括绝缘件123和固定件124,绝缘件123设于端子板122的周向,固定件124通过绝缘件123与电极端子12隔开,固定件124分别与绝缘件123和端盖11相连,固定件124为导电件。
具体地,端子板122、绝缘件123、固定件124以及端盖11依次连接,以实现将电极端子12连接固定在端盖11上,同时,利用绝缘件123实现了电极端子12与端盖11的绝缘设置,提高了使用时的安全性。
需要指出的是,在本申请中,固定件124为焊接环,绝缘件123为塑胶,电极端子12、焊接环和塑料可实现进行组装后在装配制端盖11上,进行组装时,将焊接环压住电极端子12,在焊接环与电极端子12之间的间隙内通过注塑的方式将塑胶注入,从而实现了焊接环与电极端子12的连接固定。
在本申请的一些实施例中,如图9所示,底面125为平面。
具体地,电极端子12的底面125与电池单体10的转接部件4通过焊接的方式连接固定,为了减少焊接后的金属屑出现残留的情况,将电极端子12的底面125伸出引出孔113设置,从而能够使用为平面结构的转接部件4。当电极端子12与转接部件4进行焊接固定时,电极端子12的底面125抵靠在转接部件4的大面上,并通过焊接将两者连接固定。
将电极端子12的底面125设置成平面,增加了电极端子12与转接部件4连接时的接触面积,提高了电极端子12与转接部件4之间的连接强度,同时也增大了电极端子12与转接部件4之间的过流面积,减少了连接位置因发热而影响电池单体10的性能的情况发生。
可以理解的,在一些实施例中,底面125可以为斜面、曲面,底面125也设置凹槽。
在本实施例的一些实施例中,端盖11为一体式结构,其自身为绝缘件123,引出孔113开设在端盖11上。
在本实施例的一些实施例中,如图7至图10所示,端盖11为分体式结构,包括顶盖板111和绝缘板112,顶盖板111与绝缘板112之间通过粘接、紧固件连接、铆接或者焊接等方式进行连接固定,其中,端盖11安装在电池单体10的壳体3上时,顶盖板111背离壳体3的内部设置,绝缘板112面向壳体3的内部设置,在顶盖板111上开设第一孔部1131,在绝缘板112上开设第二孔部1132,顶盖板111与绝缘板112连接后,第一孔部1131与第二孔部1132重叠设置以构成引出孔113。
在一些实施例中,第一孔部1131与第二孔部1132可以同轴设置。将第一孔部1131与第二孔部1132同轴设置,使得引出孔113的结构更加便于电极端子12的装配。
进一步地,第一孔部1131的孔口具有向绝缘板112一侧凸起的第一翻边,第二孔部1132的孔口具有向顶盖板111一侧凸起的第二翻边,在引出孔113的径向上,第一翻边的尺寸大于第二翻边的尺寸,当顶盖板111与绝缘板112连接固定后,第一翻边抵靠在第二翻边的径向外侧,密封圈13的第二部分132靠近壳体3内部的一端抵靠在绝缘板112上且位于第一翻边和第二翻边之间,利用第二部分132实现了对顶盖板111与绝缘板112之间的有效密封。
本申请的第二方面提出了一种电池单体10,包括:如上的端盖组件1和转接部件4,转接部件4覆盖电极端子12的底面125且与底面125焊接固定。
在本申请的一些实施例中,如图4、图6、、图7和图8所示,转接部件4为平板结构,可以便于金属屑的清理且便于制造。
在本申请的一些实施例中,转接部件4朝向电极端子12的一侧设有凹槽,部分电极端子12容纳于凹槽,转接部件4背离电极端子的一侧为平面或对应 凹槽的位置设置有凸起。一方面,便于金属屑的清理。另一方面,可以提高电池单体10内部结构的紧凑性。
在本申请的一些实施例中,如图4所示,电池单体10还包括电芯组件2,电芯组件2包括主体部22和极耳21,转接部件4连接极耳21和电极端子12。如图8所示,转接部件4与电极端子12焊接的部分的厚度为M。沿引出孔113的轴向,端盖11的下表面114具有与转接部件4相对设置的第一区域1141,第一区域1141到电芯组件2的距离为D,底面125的伸出高度为T,T<(D-M)。通过上述设置,可以避免转接部件与主体部干涉。
在本申请的一些实施例中,如图9所示,电极端子12的底面125的伸出高度为T,其中,T∈[0.05mm,1mm]。将电极端子12的底面125相对引出孔113的伸出高度的取值设置在[0.05mm,1mm]的区间内,电极端子12与转接部件4焊接固定的过程中,便于金属屑清理的基础上,减少了焊接固定时产生的热量对端盖产生不良影响的情况,还可以减少电极端子12占用的空间。
