具体实施方式
为使本申请实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例是本申请一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。通常在此处附图中描述和示出的本申请实施例的组件可以以各种不同的配置来布置和设计。
因此,以下对在附图中提供的本申请的实施例的详细描述并非旨在限制要求保护的本申请的范围,而是仅仅表示本申请的选定实施例。基于本申请中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本申请保护的范围。
需要说明的是,在不冲突的情况下,本申请中的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互组合。

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。
电池技术的发展要同时考虑多方面的设计因素,例如,能量密度、循环寿命、放电容量、充放电倍率等性能参数,另外,还需要考虑电池的密封性能。电池在使用过程中,对密封性要求极高,如果电池的密封性不良,水汽可能渗入电池内部,与电解液发生副反应,影响电池性能,缩短电池寿命。电解液也可能流出,腐蚀电池线路,影响电气安全。
发明人注意到,为了提高电池的电压,可以将多个电池单体通过汇流部件串联,这种情况下可以通过在电池的外部引出两根导线分别连接电池的正输送极(多个电池单体中的一者的正极电极端子)和负输送极(多个电池单体中的一者的负极电极端子),配合采集电路板进行电池的相关信息(比如电压信息)。这种串联方式汇流部件占据空间较大,使得电池的能量密度较低。
为了缓解电池能量密度低的问题,申请人研究发现,可以对电池的多个电池单体的串联方式进行改进,不需要设置汇流部件,两个电极组件共用电极端子,从而实现两个电极组件电连接,从而形成串联的电池组件。具体而言,如图1-图3所示,电池组件20包括第一壳体21'、第二壳体22'、第一电极组件23'、第二电极组件24'和端盖组件25'。端盖组件25'包括第一端盖251'、第二端盖252'、电极端子253'、密封件254'、第一绝缘件257'、第二绝缘件258'和第三绝缘件259'。电极端子253'包括端子本体2531'、第一连接部2532'和第二连接部2533'。第二绝缘件258'、第一端盖251'、第一绝缘件257'、第二端盖252'和第三绝缘件259'沿第一方向X依次层叠布置。第一端盖251'和第二端盖252'分别用于封盖第一壳体21'的开口和第二壳体22'的开口。第一连接部2532'和第二连接部2533'均与端子本体2531'连接,端子本体2531'穿设于第二绝缘件258'、第一端盖251'、第一绝缘件257'、第二端盖252'和第三绝缘件259'。第一连接部2532'位于第二绝缘件258'背离第一端盖251'的一侧,第二绝缘件258'绝缘分隔第一连接部2532'和第一端盖251',第二连接部2533'位于第三绝缘件259'背离第一端盖251'的一侧,第三绝缘件259'绝缘分隔第二连接部2533'和第二端盖252'。沿第一方向X,第一连接部2532'和第一端盖251'共同压缩密封件254'位于第一连接部2532'和第一端盖251'之间的部分,以使密封件254'的部分在第一方向X上密封于第一连接部2532'和第一端盖251'之间。沿第一方向X,第二连接部2533'和第二端盖252'共同压缩密封件254'位于第二连接部2533'和第二端盖252'之间的部分,以使密封件254'的部分在第一方向X上密封于第二连接部2533'和第二端盖252'之间,可以理解为密封件254'沿第一端盖251'和第二端盖252'的层叠方向密封第一端盖251'和电极端子253',以及密封第二端盖252'和电极端子253'。
这种密封方式不仅组装复杂,密封性能和密封可靠性较差,还使得电极组件沿第一方向X的尺寸较大,使得具备该端盖组件25'的电池组和电池的能量密度较低。
基于上述考虑,为了缓解端盖组件密封可靠性差的问题,发明人经过深入研究,设计了一种端盖组件,端盖组件包括复合端盖、电极端子和密封件,复合端盖设有贯穿复合端盖的安装孔,复合端盖包括沿安装孔的轴向层叠设置的第一端盖和第二端盖,安装孔贯穿第一端盖和第二端盖,电极端子穿设于安装孔;密封件的至少部分位于安装孔内,并且安装孔的孔壁与电极端子夹持密封件的至少一部分。
密封件的至少一部分位于安装孔内,且安装孔的孔壁与电极端子夹持密封件位于安装孔中的部分,则沿安装孔的径向,电极端子和安装孔的孔壁配合压缩密封件以密封电极端子和复合端盖,即密封件在安装孔和电极端子之间形成径向密封,相较于密封件在安装孔的轴向上被压缩从而在安装孔的轴向上实现密封第一端盖和电极端子和/或在安装孔的轴向上密封第二端盖和电极端子的密封方式,本方案的密封方式的密封性能和密封的可靠性更好,密封方式更加简单、方便。

在本体部2547为一体成型结构。本体部2547套设于端子本体2531的外周,本体部2547的一部分穿设于第一安装孔2511内,本体部2547的一部分穿设于第二安装孔2521内。限位部2548从本体部2547的外周面沿本体部2547的径向延伸。沿安装孔的轴向Y,限位部2548具有相对的第一面25481和第二面25482,第一面25481面向第一端盖251的第三表面2513设置,第一面25481可以与第三表面2513相抵,第二面25482面向第二端盖252的第四表面2523设置,第二面25482可以与第四表面2523相抵。
在第一面25481和第三表面2513相抵且第二面25482和第四表面2523相抵情况下,密封件254的本体部2547不能沿安装孔的轴向Y移动。
在第一面25481和第三表面2513沿安装孔的轴向Y具有间隙和/或第二面25482和第四表面2523沿安装孔的轴向Y具有间隙的情况下,限位部2548能够限制密封件254的本体部2547在安装孔的轴向Y的移动范围。
限位部2548和本体部2547可以是一体成型,以使形成的密封件254为一体成型结构。一体成型结构是指采用一体成型的方法形成的结构,比如注塑、冲压、浇筑等。
限位部2548用于对本体部2547沿安装孔的轴向Y限位,以减小密封件254在安装孔的轴向Y上的移动量或者避免密封件254沿安装孔的轴向Y移动,从而降低密封失效的风险。
限位部2548的结构形式有多种,比如,如图22所示,限位部2548包括沿本体部2547的周向间隔部布置的多个限位块25483。多个是指两个及两个以上。多个限位块25483可以沿本体部2547的周向均匀间隔布置,也可以是非均匀间隔布置。
再比如,如图23所示,限位部2548连续环绕于本体部2547的外周。
限位部2548连续环绕本体部2547的外周,以形成环形结构的限位部2548,能够在本体部2547的周向上任意位置对本体部2547在安装孔的轴向Y上进行限位,提高密封件254相对第一端盖251、第二端盖252和电极端子253的稳定性,降低密封失效的风险。
在本实施例中,沿安装孔的轴向Y,第一端盖251和第二端盖252夹持限位部2548(图21中示出)。
可以理解为,第一端盖251的第二表面2522和第二端盖252的第四表面2523分别与限位件沿安装孔的轴向Y上的两端面相抵,则第二表面2522、第四表面2523和限位部2548共同作用,以阻止密封件254沿安装孔的轴向Y上移动。
限位部2548被第一端盖251和第二端盖252夹持,则密封件254不能沿安装孔的轴向Y移动,从而降低密封失效的风险。
如图21所示,在一些实施例中,复合端盖250还包括第一绝缘件257,沿安装孔的轴向Y,第一绝缘件257层叠设置于第一端盖251和第二端盖252之间,安装孔2500贯穿第一端盖251、第二端盖252和第一绝缘件257;安装孔2500还包括设于第一绝缘件257的第三安装孔2571。
第一绝缘件257具有第三安装孔2571,第三安装孔2571、第一安装孔2511和第二安装孔2521同轴布置。端子本体2531穿设于第一安装孔2511、第二安装孔2521和第三安装孔2571。密封件254的部分可以位于第三安装孔2571内。当然,在密封件254包括彼此独立不相连的第一部分2544和第二部分2545的实施例中,第一部分2544和第二部分2545可以均未延伸至第三安装孔2571内。
第一安装孔2511、第二安装孔2521和第三安装孔2571同轴布置。
第三安装孔2571的直径与第一安装孔2511的直径可以相同,也可以不同。第三安装孔2571的直径与第二安装孔2521的直径可以相同,也可以不同。在本实施例中,第一安装孔2511的直径大于第二安装孔2521的直 径,第一安装孔2511的直径大于第三安装孔2571的直径。
第一绝缘件257的设置能够避免因第一端盖251和第二端盖252接触而导致具备该端盖组件25的电池100组和电池100短路,提高具备该端盖组件25的电池100组和电池100的安全性。
此外,由于端盖组件25的各个部件的制造公差的存在,即第一端盖251的在安装孔的轴向Y的制造公差、第二端盖252在安装孔的轴向Y的制造公差以及第一绝缘件257在安装孔的轴向Y的制造公差,若是密封件254沿第一端盖251、第一绝缘件257和第二端盖252的层叠方向(即安装孔的轴向Y)密封,则密封件254在安装孔的轴向Y的压缩量为复合端盖250沿安装孔的轴向Y层叠设置的各个部件的公差的累积,即密封件254在安装孔的轴向Y的压缩量为第一绝缘件257沿安装孔的轴向Y的公差、第一端盖251沿安装孔的轴向Y的公差和第二端盖252沿安装孔的轴向Y的公差的累计。累计公差过大,从而密封件254的沿安装孔的轴向Y的压缩量相对预设压缩量波动过大,可能出现密封件254压缩量不足而导致密封不良或者密封件254压缩过量而损坏密封件254,从而导致端盖组件25密封不可靠。
密封件254的至少部分位于安装孔2500内,安装孔2500的孔壁和电极端子253共同夹持密封件254位于安装孔2500内的部分,则沿安装孔2500的径向,电极端子253和安装孔2500的孔壁配合压缩密封件254,以沿安装孔2500的径向密封于电极端子253和安装孔2500之间,密封件254沿安装孔2500的径向的压缩量相较于预设的压缩量可能存在波动,该波动量由电极端子253的径向公差和安装孔2500的径向公差之和决定,相较于密封件254在安装孔的轴向Y上被压缩从而在安装孔的轴向Y实现密封复合端盖250和电极端子253的密封方式,本方案简化密封件254压缩方向的尺寸链,降低尺寸累计公差影响,从而提升密封界面尺寸稳定性,提升密封可靠性。
请继续参照图21,在密封件254包括本体部2547和限位部2548,限位部2548凸设于本体部2547的外周面,沿安装孔2500的径向,限位部2548至少部分延伸至第一端盖251和第二端盖252之间的实施例中,限位部2548位于第三安装孔2571内。
在复合端盖250包括第一绝缘件257的实施例中,若是第一绝缘件257沿安装孔的轴向Y的尺寸大于限位部2548沿安装孔的轴向Y的尺寸,则限位部2548的面向第一端盖251的端面和第二表面2522之间形成间隙和/或限位部2548的面向第二端盖252的端面和第四表面2523之间形成间隙,则密封件254能够沿安装孔的轴向Y移动一定范围。若是第一绝缘件257沿安装孔的轴向Y的尺寸小于或者等于限位部2548沿安装孔的轴向Y的尺寸,则限位部2548的面向第一端盖251的端面和第二表面2522相抵以及限位部2548的面向第二端盖252的端面和第四表面2523相抵,则密封件254不能够沿安装孔的轴向Y移动。
限位部2548位于第三安装孔2571内且沿安装孔2500的径向延伸至第一端盖251和第二端盖252之间,限位部2548能够对本体部2547沿安装孔的轴向Y限位,以减小密封件254在安装孔的轴向Y上的移动量或者避免密封件254沿安装孔的轴向Y移动,从而降低密封失效的风险。
请继续参见图21,在一些实施例中,第三安装孔2571的孔径大于第一安装孔2511,第三安装孔2571的孔径大于第二安装孔2521的孔径,限位部2548沿安装孔2500的径向凸出于第一安装孔2511的孔壁和第二安装孔2521的孔壁。
沿第三安装孔2571的径向(即安装孔2500的径向),限位部2548位于凸出于第一安装孔2511的孔壁和第二安装孔2521的孔壁,限位部2548背离本体部2547的外周面与第三安装孔2571的孔壁之间可以形成第三间隙260,为密封件254形变提供空间。
限位部2548沿安装2500的径向凸出于第一安装孔2511的孔壁和第二安装孔2521的孔壁,因此,沿安装孔的轴向Y,限位部2548的两端能够分别与第一端盖251和第二端盖252相抵,从而在安装孔的轴向Y对密封件254起到限位作用,从而降低密封失效的风险。
在密封件254具有限位部2548的实施例中,端盖组件25也可以不设置第一绝缘件257。限位部2548延伸至第一端盖251和第二端盖252之间,沿安装孔的轴向Y,限位部2548的第一面25481与第一端盖251的第三表面2513相抵,限位部2548的第二面25482与第二端盖252的第四表面2523相抵,限位部2548绝缘隔离第一端盖251和第二端盖252。这种情况下,限位部2548既起到了限制密封件254在安装孔的轴向Y移动的作用,又起到绝缘分隔第一端盖251和第二端盖252的作用。
在另一些实施例中,如图24所示,密封件254也可以不设置限位部2548。
在一些实施例中,沿安装孔2500的径向,密封件254位于安装孔2500内的部分的最小厚度为e,满足0.5mm≤e≤3mm。
其中,如图17、图19、图21所示,沿第一安装孔2511的径向,密封件254位于第一安装孔2511内的部分的厚度为e1,0.5mm≤e1≤3mm;和/或,沿第二安装孔2521的径向,密封件254位于第二安装孔2521内的部分的厚度为e2,0.5mm≤e2≤3mm。
“密封件254位于第一安装孔2511内的部分的厚度e(e1)”,是指密封件254被第一安装孔2511的孔壁和端子本体2531的外周面挤压后的沿第一安装孔2511的径向的尺寸,也可以理解为沿第一安装孔2511的径向,第一安装孔2511的孔壁和端子本体2531的外周面之间的距离。比如e(e1)可以为0.6mm、0.7mm、0.8mm、1mm、1.3mm、1.5mm、1.7mm、2mm、2.5mm、2.8mm等。
“密封件254位于第二安装孔2521内的部分的厚度f(e2)”,是指密封件254被第一安装孔2511的孔壁和端子本体2531的外周面挤压后的沿第二安装孔2521的径向的尺寸,也可以理解为沿第二安装孔2521的径向,第二安装孔2521的孔壁和端子本体2531的外周面之间的距离。比如f(e2)可以为0.6mm、0.7mm、0.8mm、1mm、1.3mm、1.5mm、1.7mm、2mm、2.5mm、2.8mm等。
密封件254位于安装孔2500内的部分的最小厚度e,满足0.5mm≤e≤3mm,便于控制密封件254沿安装孔2500的径向的压缩量,从而有利于提升密封的稳定性。
结合参照图21、图25,在一些实施例中,电极端子253包括端子本体2531,端子本体2531穿设于安装孔2500,密封件254套设于端子本体2531的外周。
如图21、图25所示,端子本体2531包括相连的第一段25311和第二段25312。第一段25311和第二段25312的材质可以不同,比如第一段25311的材质为铜,第二段25312的材质为铝,或者第一段25311的材质为铝,第二段25312的材质为镍。第一段25311和第二段25312的材质可以相同,比如第一段25311和第二段25312的材质均为铜或者均为铝。
密封件254套设于第一段25311和第二段25312。
在另一些实施例中,端子本体2531也可以为一体成型结构。
端子本体2531穿设于第一安装孔2511和第二安装孔2521,以使第一端盖251和第二端盖252均与电极端子253形成定位配合,提高电极端子253、第一端盖251和第二端盖252三者相对稳定性。密封件254套设于端子本体2531的外周,能够和电极端子253形成定位配合,提高安装稳定性,以起到稳定的密封作用。

在另一些实施例中,第一连接部2532和第二连接部2533中的一者可以和端子本体2531一体成型,另一者与端子本体2531铆接。
第一连接部2532和第二连接部2533均与端子本体2531连接,且分别位于第一端盖251背离第二端盖252的一侧和第二端盖252背离第一端盖251的一侧,能够起到限位作用,以使端盖组件25的结构更加紧凑和能够提高端盖组件25结构的稳定性。

第二绝缘部2582连接于第一绝缘部2581,沿安装孔的轴向Y,第二绝缘部2582从第一绝缘部2581沿背离第一端盖251的方向延伸,且第二绝缘部2582延伸至第一连接部2532的外周,第二绝缘部2582围设于第一连接部2532的外周,第一绝缘部2581和第二绝缘部2582共同限定出容纳第一连接部2532的第一容纳部,可以理解为,第二绝缘件258包覆第一连接部2532,进一步降低电池100短路的风险。第一连接部2532也可以沿背离第一端盖251的方向可以延伸出第一容纳部,以便于第一连接部2532与第一电极组件23的极耳导电连接。在另一些实施例中,沿安装孔的轴向Y,第一连接部2532可以整体位于第一容纳部内。
在另一些实施例中,第二绝缘件258也可以全部位于第一连接部2532和第一端盖251之间。

第四绝缘部2592连接于第三绝缘部2591,沿安装孔的轴向Y,第四绝缘部2592从第三绝缘部2591沿背离第二端盖252的方向延伸,且第四绝缘部2592延伸至第二连接部2533的外周,第四绝缘部2592围设于第二连接 部2533的外周,第三绝缘部2591和第四绝缘部2592共同限定出容纳第二连接部2533的第二容纳部,可以理解为,第三绝缘件259包覆第二连接部2533,进一步降低电池100短路的风险。第二连接部2533也可以沿背离第二端盖252的方向可以延伸出第二容纳部,以便于第二连接部2533与第二电极组件24的极耳导电连接。在另一些实施例中,沿安装孔的轴向Y,第二连接部2533可以整体位于第二容纳部内。
在另一些实施例中,第三绝缘件259也可以全部位于第二连接部2533和第二端盖252之间。
第二绝缘件258和第三绝缘件259的设置,能够降低具备该端盖组件25的电池组件20和电池100短路的风险。
在端盖组件25包括第二绝缘件258和第四绝缘件的情况下,若是密封件254沿第一端盖251、第一绝缘件257和第二端盖252的层叠方向(即安装孔的轴向Y)密封,则密封件254在安装孔的轴向Y的压缩量为复合端盖250沿安装孔的轴向Y层叠设置的各个部件的公差的累积,即密封件254在安装孔的轴向Y的压缩量为第一绝缘件257沿安装孔的轴向Y的公差、第一端盖251沿安装孔的轴向Y的公差、第二端盖252沿安装孔的轴向Y的公差的累计、第二绝缘件258沿安装孔的轴向Y上的公差。累计公差过大,从而密封件254的沿安装孔的轴向Y的压缩量相对预设压缩量波动过大,可能出现密封件254压缩量不足而导致密封不良或者密封件254压缩过量而损坏密封件254,从而导致端盖组件25'密封不可靠。
密封件254的部分位于第一安装孔2511内,部分位于第二安装孔2521,第一安装孔2511的孔壁和电极端子253共同夹持密封件254位于第一安装孔2511内的部分,以及第二安装孔2521的孔壁和电极端子253共同夹持密封件254位于第二安装孔2521内的部分,则沿安装孔2500的径向,电极端子253和安装孔2500的孔壁配合压缩密封件254,以沿安装孔2500的径向密封于电极端子253和安装孔2500之间,密封件254沿安装孔2500的径向的压缩量相较于预设的压缩量可能存在波动,该波动量由电极端子253的径向公差和安装孔2500的径向公差之和决定,相较于密封件254在安装孔的轴向Y上被压缩从而在安装孔的轴向Y实现密封复合端盖250和电极端子253的密封方式,本方案简化密封件254压缩方向的尺寸链,降低尺寸累计公差影响,从而提升密封界面尺寸稳定性,提升密封可靠性。
