本申请的发明人注意到,目前现有的电池单体均未设置检测组件,因此无法对电池单体的工作状态进行实时检测。其中,电池单体的工作状态包括但不限于电压、温度等相关数据。同时,目前现有的电池单体也未设置有针对检测组件进行保护的防护组件。
为了解决无法对电池单体的工作状态进行实时检测的问题,本申请的发明人研究发现,可以通过设置检测组件对电池单体的工作状态进行实时检测。检测组件能够对电池单体的工作状态进行实时地管控,对于电池单体工作中的异常参数能够进行快速预警,能够使相应的安全机构或人员及时地进行应对,进而能够提升电池单体的安全性和可靠性。同时,设置针对检测组件进行防护的防护组件,能够减小检测组件在电池单体的使用过程中受到损坏的风险。
基于以上考虑,发明人经过深入研究,设计了一种电池单体,通过在电池单体上设置检测组件以及用于防护检测组件的防护组件,能够对电池单体的工作状态进行实时地管控的同时,还能够减小检测组件在电池单体的使用过程中受到损坏的风险。

在电池单体7中,容纳于外壳20内的电极组件10可以是一个、两个或者多个。示例性的,在图4中,电极组件10为两个。
图5为本申请一些实施例提供的一种电池单体的第一壁结构示意图,图6为本申请一些实施例提供的一种电池单体的电极端子处局部放大结构示意图。
如图4至图6所示,本申请实施例提供了一种电池单体7,电池单体7包括外壳20、电极组件10、检测组件40和防护组件50,外壳20具有容纳腔;电极组件10容纳于容纳腔内;检测组件40连接于外壳20并用于检测电池单体7的工作状态;防护组件50凸出于外壳20并与检测组件40同侧设置,以防护检测组件40。
可选地,检测组件40可以设置于外壳20背离容纳腔的一侧,也可以设置于外壳20朝向容纳腔的一侧。检测组件40设置于外壳20背离容纳腔的一侧能够减小检测组件40对电池单体7内部空间的占用;检测组件40设置于外壳20朝向容纳腔的一侧能够减小电池单体7的整体体积。检测组件40能够对电池单体7的工作状态进行实时检测,其中,电池单体7的工作状态包括但不限于电压、温度等相关数据。通过在电池单体7上设置检测组件40,便于对电池单体7的工作状态进行实时地管控,对于电池单体7工作中的异常参数能够进行快速预警,能够使相应的安全机构或人员及时地进行应对,进而能够提升电池单体7的安全性和可靠性。
在一些实施例中,外壳20包括第一壁30,检测组件40连接于第一壁30。其中,第一壁30可以是围绕形成电池单体7外壳20的任何一个壁部,检测组件40与第一壁30的连接方式可以是但不局限于焊接、卡接或粘接等。
防护组件50用于防护检测组件40,能够减小检测组件40在化成或注液等电池单体7的使用过程中受到损坏的风险。
在本申请的实施例中以检测组件40设置于第一壁30背离容纳腔的一侧为例阐述本发明的构思。防护组件50与检测组件40同侧设置,即防护组件50也设置于端盖远离电极组件一侧的表面上。防护组件50凸出于外壳20,即在第一壁30的厚度方向上,防护组件50凸出于第一壁30背离容纳腔的一侧表面形成。如此,能够减小检测组件40和防护组件50对电池单体7内部空间的占用;同时,也便于检测组件40和防护组件50的安装和更换。
通过设置用于防护检测组件40的防护组件50,能够减小检测组件40在电池单体7的使用过程中受到损坏的风险。
在一些实施例中,外壳20包括电极端子31,电极端子31凸出于第一壁30背离容纳腔的一侧表面,电极端子31与电极组件10的极耳电连接,检测组件40电连接于电极端子31并在电极端子31上形成连接部41。
在本申请实施例中,电极端子31与第一壁30的连接方式可以是但不局限于焊接、铆接或粘接等。检测组件40与第一壁30的连接方式可以是但不局限于焊接、卡接或粘接等。检测组件40与电极端子31电连接,能够检测电池单体7的电极端子31处的电压、温度等相关数据,便于对电池单体7的工作状态进行实时地管控,对于电池单体7工作中的异常参数能够进行快速预警,能够使相应的安全机构或人员及时地进行应对,进而能够提升电池单体7的安全性和可靠性。
在本申请的实施例中以检测组件40设置于第一壁30背离容纳腔的一侧为例阐述本发明的构思。电极端子31凸出于第一壁30背离容纳腔的一侧表面,电极端子31的凸出于第一壁30背离容纳腔的一侧表面的部分与检测组件40位于第一壁30的同侧,便于检测组件40与电极端子31电连接并在电极端子31上形成连接部41。其中,连接部41即为电极端子31与检测组件40的连接处。
在一些实施例中,防护组件50包括第一防护件51,第一防护件51凸出于电极端子31背离第一壁30的一侧表面,第一防护件51用于将电极端子31背离第一壁30的一侧表面与连接部41隔开。
由于电池单体7在装配完成时是没有电的,需要进行充电激活。对电池单体7进行首次充电的过程被称为化成,用于激活电池单体7内的活性材料。在电池单体7进行化成的过程中,化成钉会插接到电极端子31的中心区域进行化成工作,在此过程中,若化成钉的插接产生偏差,容易误触到检测组件40,进而造成检测组件40的损坏。
示例性地,在本申请的实施例中以检测组件40设置于第一壁30背离容纳腔的一侧为例阐述本发明的构思。电极端子31凸出于第一壁30背离容纳腔的一侧表面,电极端子31的凸出于第一壁30背离容纳腔的一侧表面的部分与检测组件40位于第一壁30的同侧,便于检测组件40与电极端子31电连接并在电极端子31上形成连接部41。其中,连接部41即为电 极端子31与检测组件40的连接处。
第一防护件51凸起于电极端子31背离端盖的一侧表面设置,且第一防护件51将连接部41与电极端子31背离第一壁30的一侧表面的中心区域隔开。
通过在电极端子31背离第一壁30的一侧表面设置第一防护件51,将连接部41与电极端子31背离第一壁30的一侧表面的中心区域隔开,能够减小检测组件40在电池单体7进行化成过程中受到损坏的风险。
图7为本申请一些实施例提供的另一种电池单体的电极端子处局部放大结构示意图,图8为本申请一些实施例提供的又一种电池单体的电极端子处局部放大结构示意图。
如图5至图8所示,在一些实施例中,第一防护件51沿电极端子31的周向呈环段分布或者呈环状分布。
第一防护件51沿电极端子31的周向呈环段分布,环段处形成保护壁,保护壁将电极端子31背离第一壁30的一侧表面与连接部41隔开。通过将第一防护件51设置为沿电极端子31的周向呈环段分布的结构,能够更具针对性地对连接部41进行防护。能够使用较少地材料即可实现对检测组件40的防护,能够有效地降低成本。
通过将第一防护件51设置为沿电极端子31的周向呈环状分布的结构,围绕电极端子31形成一整周保护壁,能够使电极端子31的中心区域全部被围绕间隔,使第一防护件51的防护范围最大化,有效地提高了第一防护件51对检测组件40的防护效果。
图9为本申请一些实施例提供的再一种电池单体的电极端子处局部放大结构示意图。
如图5至图9所示,在一些实施例中,第一防护件51包括主体部51a和避让部51b,避让部51b由主体部51a向电极端子31中心点方向凹陷形成,以避让连接部41。
具体地,第一防护件51的主体部51a为沿电极端子31的周向呈环段状或者环状结构。第一防护件51的避让部51b与连接部41对应设置。第一防护件51的避让部51b用于避让连接部41,以使第一防护件51的主 体部51a能够更加靠近电极端子31的边缘处设置。第一防护件51的主体部51a越靠近电极端子31的边缘处,留给化成钉插接的电极端子31中心区域的面积便会更大,能够有效减小第一防护件51对化成钉与电极端子31插接的影响。同时,由于避让部51b是由主体部51a向电极端子31中心点方向凹陷形成的,沿电极端子31的边缘处至电极端子31的中心点的方向上,靠近连接部41处的第一防护件51形成的防护区域更大,能够进一步加强第一防护件51对检测组件40的防护效果。
通过将第一防护件51的避让部51b,不仅能够使第一防护件51的主体部51a能够更加靠近电极端子31的边缘处设置,进而有效减小第一防护件51对化成钉与电极端子31插接的影响。还能够使第一防护件51在靠近连接部41处形成的防护区域更大,能够进一步加强第一防护件51对检测组件40的防护效果。
图10为本申请一些实施例提供的再一种电池单体的电极端子处局部放大结构示意图。
如图5至图10所示,在一些实施例中,沿第一壁30的厚度方向上,第一防护件51具有尺寸h1,连接部41具有尺寸h2,h1>h2。
如上所述,第一防护件51凸起于电极端子31背离端盖的一侧表面以将连接部41和电极端子31的中心区域隔开。沿第一壁30的厚度方向上,第一防护件51的尺寸h1即为第一防护件51的凸起高度;连接部41的尺寸h2即为连接部41在电极端子31背离第一壁30的一侧表面上的凸起高度。沿第一壁30的厚度方向上,若第一防护件51的尺寸h1小于连接部41的尺寸h2,在电池单体7进行化成的过程中,便会存在连接部41被化成钉损坏的风险。
如此,在沿第一壁30的厚度方向上,采用第一防护件51的尺寸h1大于连接部41的尺寸h2的设置方式,能够使第一防护件51充分将连接部41和电极端子31的中心区域隔开。在电池单体7进行化成的过程中,能够减小化成钉插接产生偏差时触碰到连接部41进而造成连接部41损坏的风险。进一步加强了第一防护件51对检测组件40的防护效果。
在一些实施例中,h1和h2满足关系:h1-h2≥1mm。
上述技术方案中,沿第一壁30的厚度方向上,将第一防护件51的尺寸h1和连接部41的尺寸h2的关系设置在上述范围,能够进一步提高第一防护件51的防护效果。
示例性的,h1-h2的数值可以但不局限于为1mm、1.5mm、2mm、3mm。
继续参考图9,在一些实施例中,第一防护件51的壁厚d1≥0.5mm。
第一防护件51的壁厚可以理解为第一防护件51沿电极端子31边缘朝向电极端子31中心点的方向上的厚度,第一防护件51的壁厚d1设置在上述范围,能够进一步提高第一防护件51的防护效果。
示例性的,第一防护件51的壁厚d1可以但不局限于为0.5mm、1mm、2mm、3mm。
图11为本申请一些实施例提供的另一种电池单体的第一壁结构示意图。
如图11所示,在一些实施例中,电池单体还包括绝缘件32,绝缘件32用于绝缘电极端子31与第一壁30;绝缘件32具有凸出于电极端子31背离第一壁30的一侧表面的凸部,凸部被配置为第一防护件51。
绝缘件32的设置位置不做限定。例如绝缘件32可以设置于第一壁30背离容纳腔一侧,绝缘件32也可以设置于第一壁30朝向容纳腔一侧,或者绝缘件32既设置于第一壁30背离容纳腔一侧也设置于第一壁30朝向容纳腔一侧。
示例性地,在本申请的实施例中以绝缘件32设置于第一壁30背离容纳腔一侧为例阐述本发明的构思。绝缘件32套设于电极端子31凸出于第一壁30背离容纳腔的一侧表面的部分,绝缘件32和电极端子31之间相互抵接,绝缘件32用于将电极端子31和第一壁30绝缘。检测组件40设置于第一壁30背离容纳腔一侧的表面。
绝缘件32具有凸出于电极端子31背离第一壁30的一侧表面的凸部,凸部被配置为第一防护件51将连接部与电极端子31背离第一壁30的一侧表面的中心区域隔开。
通过在绝缘件32上设置凸部以作为第一防护件51使用,绝缘件32 通过冲压工艺一体成型凸部,使得凸部与绝缘件32之间呈一体式结构。一方面,便于将本实施例的凸部应用在现有的绝缘件32的设计上,无需对现有绝缘件32设计进行过多改动;另一方面,绝缘件32通过冲压工艺形成凸部,制作工艺简单,且无需额外增加其他的材料即可形成凸部。
图12为本申请一些实施例提供的一种电池单体的绝缘件处局部放大结构示意图。
如图11至图12所示,在一些实施例中,绝缘件32上设置有通孔321,检测组件40通过通孔321连接于电极端子31。
具体地,绝缘件32在靠近检测部件的一侧设置有通孔321,检测部件穿过通孔321与位于绝缘件32内部的电极端子31电连接。
上述技术方案中,检测组件40穿过通孔321与位于绝缘件32内部的电极端子31进行连接,检测组件40与电极端子31的连接部41位于绝缘件32的内部,减小了检测部件与电极端子31的连接部41因暴露在外部环境中而产生损坏的风险。
图13为本申请一些实施例提供的又一种电池单体的第一壁结构示意图。
如图13所示,在一些实施例中,第一壁30上设置有注液孔33,防护组件50包括第二防护件52,第二防护件52凸起于第一壁30背离容纳腔的一侧表面并环绕注液孔33设置。
注液孔33贯穿于第一壁30设置,操作人员可通过注液孔33向电池单体7注入电解液。在向电池单体7内进行注液的过程中,电解液可能会外溢到注液孔33外面,进而通过第一壁30的表面流至检测组件40处,容易导致检测组件40产生损坏。
在本申请的实施例中以检测组件40设置于第一壁30背离容纳腔一侧为例阐述本发明的构思。第二防护件52凸起于第一壁30背离容纳腔一侧表面,沿第一壁30的厚度方向上,凸台具有一定的高度。检测组件40与第二防护件52位于第一壁30的同一侧。第二防护件52环绕注液孔33设置以形成环绕注液孔33的凸台结构。第二防护件52沿第一壁30的厚度方向上的正投影可以是圆形,正方形或三角形等,本申请不对第二防护件 52沿第一壁30的厚度方向上的正投影的形状进行限定,可根据实际情况进行选定。操作人员在通过注液孔33向电池单体7内注入电解液时,第二防护件52能够减小电解液外溢的风险。
通过在注液孔33的周围设置第二防护件52,能够减小电解液外溢而造成检测组件40损坏的风险,进一步提高了防护组件50的防护效果。
图14为本申请一些实施例提供的一种电池单体的第二防护件处局部放大结构示意图。
如图14所示,在一些实施例中,沿第一壁30的厚度方向上,第二防护件52的尺寸h3≥1mm。
沿第一壁30的厚度方向上,第二防护件52的尺寸可以理解为第二防护件52凸起于第一壁30背离容纳腔的一侧表面的凸起高度。第二防护件52的尺寸h3设置在上述范围,能够进一步提高第二防护件52的防护效果。
示例性的,沿第一壁30的厚度方向上,第二防护件52的尺寸h3可以但不局限于为1.0mm、1.5mm、2.0mm、3mm。
图15为本申请一些实施例提供的再一种电池单体的第一壁结构示意图。
如图15所示,在一些实施例中,第二防护件52包括阻挡部52a和吸附部52b,吸附部52b设置于阻挡部52a背向注液孔33的一侧。
可选地,阻挡部52a凸起于第一壁30背离容纳腔的一侧表面并环绕注液孔33设置。吸附部52b可以是但不限于聚氨酯类、丙烯酸类等具有液体吸附功能的材料制成的。吸附部52b沿第一壁30的厚度方向上的正投影可以是圆形,正方形或三角形等,本申请不对吸附部52b沿第一壁30的厚度方向上的正投影的形状进行限定,可根据实际情况进行选定。
在操作人员通过注液孔33向电池单体7内注入电解液时,即使凸起部会对电解液有一定的阻挡作用,但还会存在电解液溅出阻挡部52a的风险。在阻挡部52a背向注液孔33的一侧设置吸附部52b,当电解液溅出阻挡部52a时,吸附部52b能够将溅出的电解液进行吸附。
上述技术方案中,第二防护件52包括阻挡部52a与设置于阻挡部 52a背向注液孔33的一侧的吸附部52b,在阻挡部52a能够减少电解液外溢的同时,吸附部52b能够进一步将少数情况下溅出的电解液进行吸附,进一步加强了第二防护件52的防护效果。
在一些实施例中,吸附部52b沿阻挡部52a的周向环绕分布。
示例性地,吸附部52b沿阻挡部52a的周向呈环段分布,能够使用较少地材料即可吸附少数情况下溅出的电解液,能够有效地降低成本。吸附部52b沿阻挡部52a的周向呈环状分布,围绕阻挡部52a的整个周向设置,能够增大吸附部52b的吸附范围,能够有效提高吸附部52b的吸附效果。
在一些实施例中,第二防护件52与第一壁30为一体成型结构。
第一壁30通过冲压工艺一体成型第二防护件52,使得第二防护件52与第一壁30之间呈一体式结构。一方面,无需对现有电池单体7的外壳20设计进行过多改动;另一方面,第一壁30通过冲压工艺形成第二防护件52,制作工艺简单,且无需额外增加其他的材料即可形成第二防护件52。
在一些实施例中,外壳20包括壳体和端盖,壳体具有开口,端盖用于盖合开口;端盖被配置为外壳20的第一壁30。
壳体可以是多种形状,比如,圆柱体、长方体等。壳体的形状可根据电极组件的具体形状来确定。比如,若电极组件为圆柱体结构,则可选用为圆柱体壳体;若电极组件为长方体结构,则可选用长方体壳体。
端盖可以是多种结构,比如,端盖为板状结构、一端开口的空心结构等。示例性的,壳体为长方体结构,端盖为板状结构,端盖盖合于壳体顶部的开口处。端盖可以由绝缘材料(例如塑胶)制成,也可以由导电材料(例如金属)制成。
在本申请实施例中的第一壁30可以是端盖。可选地,检测组件40可以设置于端盖背离容纳腔的一侧,也可以设置于端盖朝向容纳腔的一侧。检测组件40与端盖的连接方式可以是但不局限于焊接、卡接或粘接等。
在一些实施例中,防护组件50的材质为绝缘隔热材质。
电池单体7在使用的过程中会进行不断地充电和放电,电池单体7在充电和放电的过程中会产生较多的热量。防护组件50与检测组件40容 易产生接触。示例性的,绝缘隔热材质可以是聚四氟乙烯、聚苯硫醚、聚醚醚酮、聚苯酯等。本申请不对具体地材质进行限定,可以根据实际情况进行选用。
通过采用绝缘隔热材质制作防护组件50,能够降低电池单体7在使用的过程中产生的热量对防护组件50的影响,提高了防护组件50的使用寿命。同时能够避免防护组件50与检测组件40接触产生干涉,进而影响检测组件40的正常使用。
