在上述技术方案中,通过将支撑件与绝缘件挂扣配合,无需改变现有的端盖的制造方式,绝缘件相比于端盖来说,价格更低,制造更为容易,有利于降低生产成本。另外,将支撑件与绝缘件挂扣配合,相比于将支撑件连接于端盖而言,不易产生 新的问题(例如端盖的密封、绝缘问题)。

在上述技术方案中,通过使第二凹部的侧壁面与第一凸起的外周面之间的最大间隙在0.4~4mm的范围内,能够保证支撑件具有足够活动空间,保证其自适应所需要的移动范围,同时支撑件与绝缘件的位置相对稳固,不易出现大幅晃动。若D2<0.4mm,则支撑件的活动范围较小,自适应能力较差。若D2>4mm,则支撑件活动范围较大,在电池单体受到振动时,支撑件容易出现大幅晃动,可能会造成极耳损伤。

本申请中出现的“多个”指的是两个以上(包括两个)。
本申请中,电池单体可以包括锂离子二次电池单体、锂离子一次电池单体、锂硫电池单体、钠锂离子电池单体、钠离子电池单体或镁离子电池单体等,本申请实施例对此并不限定。电池单体可呈圆柱体、扁平体、长方体或其它形状等,本申请实施例对此也不限定。电池单体一般按封装的方式分成三种:柱形电池单体、方形电池单体和软包电池单体,本申请实施例对此也不限定。
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。
电池单体包括电极组件和电解液,电极组件由正极片、负极片和隔离膜组成。电池单体主要依靠金属离子在正极片和负极片之间移动来工作。正极片包括正极集流体和正极活性物质层,正极活性物质层涂覆于正极集流体的表面,未涂敷正极活性物质层的正极集流体凸出于已涂覆正极活性物质层的正极集流体,未涂敷正极活性物质层的正极集流体作为正子极耳。以锂离子电池为例,正极集流体的材料可以为铝,正极活性物质可以为钴酸锂、磷酸铁锂、三元锂或锰酸锂等。负极片包括负极集流体和负极活性物质层,负极活性物质层涂覆于负极集流体的表面,未涂敷负极活性物质层的负极集流体凸出于已涂覆负极活性物质层的负极集流体,未涂敷负极活性物质层的负极集流体作为负子极耳。负极集流体的材料可以为铜,负极活性物质可以为碳或硅等。为了保证通过大电流而不发生熔断,正子极耳的数量为多个且层叠在一起,负子极耳的数量为多个且层叠在一起。隔离膜的材质可以为PP(polypropylene,聚丙烯)或PE(polyethylene,聚乙烯)等。此外,电极组件可以是卷绕式结构,也可以是叠片式结构,本申请实施例并不限于此。
目前,从市场形势的发展来看,电池的应用越加广泛。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,还需要考虑电池的安全性。然而,在电芯倒置的场景下,电池单体安全性较差。
发明人进一步研究发现,电池单体包括电极组件,电极组件是电池单体中发生电化学反应的部件。电极组件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离膜。正极片和负极片具有活性物质的部分构成电极组件的主体部,正极片和负极片不具有活性物质的部分各自构成子极耳,为了保证通过大电流而不发生熔断,子极耳的数量为多个且层叠在一起形成极耳。在电芯倒置的场景下,极耳位于主体部的下方,极耳会受到主体部的重力作用。由于极耳是由多个 子极耳层叠在一起形成的,因此受到重力作用时容易出现分叉,分叉的部分容易插入主体部内,与主体部内的正极片或负极片接触,从而造成短路,严重时会造成起火,甚至爆炸,导致电池单体的安全性较差。
鉴于此,本申请实施例提供一种电池单体,该电池单体的端盖组件和主体部之间设置有支撑件,在电芯倒置的场景下,支撑体能对电极组件起到支撑作用,使得电极组件的主体部的重力不易传递给极耳,不易造成极耳分叉内插,提升了电池单体的安全性。
支撑体通过挂扣部连接于端盖组件,使得支撑件不会在壳体内上下窜动,不会砸向电极组件而导致电极组件损坏。
将挂扣部设置于第一表面和第二表面之间,减小了对端盖组件厚度方向上的体积的占用,有利于提高电池单体的能量密度。
再者,挂扣部未超出于第一表面或第二表面,在生产过程中,挂扣部不易受到外力作用而断裂。在堆料时,多个支撑件是层叠设置的,挂扣部未超出第一表面或第二表面,使得一个支撑件的第一表面能够贴合于另一个支撑件的第二表面,这样,两个支撑件的接触面积更大,有利于稳定堆料。
另外,挂扣部设置于第一表面和第二表面之间相比于挂扣部超出于第一表面或第二表面而言,在堆料时,相邻的两个支撑件之间不易钩挂,在取用一个支撑件时,不会拉动另一个支撑件,有利于提高生产的安全性和生产效率。
本申请实施例描述的技术方案适用于电池以及使用电池的用电设备。
用电设备可以是车辆、手机、便携式设备、笔记本电脑、轮船、航天器、电动玩具和电动工具等等。航天器包括飞机、火箭、航天飞机和宇宙飞船等等;电动玩具包括固定式或移动式的电动玩具,例如,游戏机、电动汽车玩具、电动轮船玩具和电动飞机玩具等等;电动工具包括金属切削电动工具、研磨电动工具、装配电动工具和铁道用电动工具,例如,电钻、电动砂轮机、电动扳手、电动螺丝刀、电锤、冲击电钻、混凝土振动器和电刨等等。本申请实施例对上述用电设备不做特殊限制。

端盖组件21包括端盖211,端盖211是指盖合于壳体23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211的形状可以与壳体23的形状相适应以配合壳体23。可选地,端盖211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211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211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。可选地,端盖组件21还包括电极端子213,电极端子213设置于端盖211。电极端子213可以用于与电极组件22电连接,以用于输出或输入电池单体20的电能。可选地,端盖组件21还包括泄压机构214,泄压机构214设置于端盖211,泄压机构214用于在电池单体20的内部压力或温度达到起爆压力时打开,以泄放电池单体20的内部压力。在一些实施例中,端盖组件21还包括绝缘件215,绝缘件215设置在端盖211的内侧,绝缘件215可以用于隔离壳体23内的电连接部件与端盖211,以降低短路的风险。示例性的,绝缘件215可以是塑料、橡胶等。
壳体23是用于配合端盖211以形成电池单体20的内部环境的部件,其中,形成的内部环境可以用于容纳电极组件22、电解液以及其他部件。壳体23和端盖211可以是独立的部件,可以于壳体23上设置开口,通过在开口处使端盖211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211和壳体23一体化,具体地,端盖211和壳体23可以在其他部件入壳前先形成一个共同的接合面,当需要封装壳体23的内部时,再使端盖211盖合壳体23。壳体23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23的形状可以根据电极组件22的具体形状和尺寸大小来确定。壳体23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。
电极组件22是电池单体20中发生电化学反应的部件。壳体23内可以包含一个或更多个电极组件22。电极组件22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离膜。正极片和负极片具有活性物质的部分构成电极组件22的主体部221,正极片和负极片不具有活性物质的部分各自构成子极耳。为了保证通过大电流而不发生熔断,子极耳的数量为多个且层叠在一起形成极耳222。正极极耳和负极极耳可以共同位于主体部221的一端或是分别位于主体部221的两端。在电池100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222连接电极端子213以形成电流回路。极耳222凸出于主体部221,以便于 与电极端子213连接,输出电池单体20的电能或向电池单体20输入电能。
支撑件24位于壳体23内,且位于端盖组件21和主体部221之间。需要说明的是,端盖组件21朝向主体部221的一侧可以形成有凹部,支撑件24可以部分或全部容纳于凹部内,也属于支撑件24位于端盖组件21和主体部221之间。在电芯倒置的场景下,支撑件24能够对主体部221起到支撑作用,使得主体部221的重力不易传递给极耳222。
支撑体241是支撑件24在电芯倒置的场景下主要对主体部221起到支撑作用的部分,是支撑件24的主要部分。沿着端盖组件21的厚度方向,支撑体241具有相对设置的第一表面2411和第二表面2412,其中,第一表面2411面向端盖组件21,第二表面2412背离端盖组件21。
在本实施例中,端盖组件21的厚度方向与支撑件24的厚度方向相同。如图6、图7、图8和图9中所示,端盖组件21的厚度方向可以是图中的Z方向。
挂扣部242是支撑件24上与端盖组件21挂扣配合的部分。挂扣部242与支撑体241连接。挂扣部242可以形成有钩状结构。这样,挂扣部242可以与端盖组件21钩在一起,以实现挂扣部242与端盖组件21的挂扣配合。沿厚度方向,在主体部221指向端盖组件21的方向上,挂扣部242不超出于第一表面2411,在端盖组件21指向主体部221的方向上,挂扣部242不超出于第二表面2412。
该电池单体20的端盖组件21和主体部221之间设置有支撑件24,在电芯倒置的场景下,支撑体241能对电极组件22起到支撑作用,使得电极组件22的主体部221的重力不易传递给极耳222,不易造成极耳222分叉内插,提升了电池单体20的安全性。支撑体241通过挂扣部242连接于端盖组件21,使得支撑件24不会在壳体23内上下窜动,不会砸向电极组件22而导致电极组件22损坏。将挂扣部242设置于第一表面2411和第二表面2412之间,减小了对端盖组件21厚度方向上的体积的占用,有利于提高电池单体20的能量密度。再者,挂扣部242未超出于第一表面2411或第二表面2412,在生产过程中,挂扣部242不易受到外力作用而断裂。在堆料时,多个支撑件24是层叠设置的,挂扣部242未超出第一表面2411或第二表面2412,使得一个支撑件24的第一表面2411能够贴合于另一个支撑件24的第二表面2412,这样,两个支撑件24的接触面积更大,有利于稳定堆料。另外,挂扣部242设置于第一表面2411和第二表面2412之间相比于挂扣部242超出于第一表面2411或第二表面2412而言,在堆料时,相邻的两个支撑件24之间不易钩挂,在取用一个支撑件24时,不会拉动另一个支撑件24,有利于提高生产的安全性和生产效率。
请参照图6和图7,在一些实施例中,第二表面2412抵靠于主体部221。
“第二表面2412抵靠于主体部221”是指第二表面2412贴靠于主体部221的朝向支撑体241的表面。第二表面2412可以仅仅是与主体部221的朝向支撑体241的表面相接触,也可以是与主体部221的朝向支撑体241的表面相接触并具有力的作用。
通过使第二表面2412抵靠于主体部221,在电芯由正置切换至倒置的过程中,支撑体241与主体部221的相对位置不会发生变化,主体部221不会与支撑体241发生碰撞,不易导致电极组件22损坏,有利于提升电池单体20的寿命。
请参照图6和图7,在一些实施例中,极耳222绕着支撑体241弯折。
“极耳222绕着支撑体241弯折”是指极耳222从支撑体241的朝向主体部221的一侧开始,在支撑体241的边缘处形成折弯,并延伸至支撑体241的背离主体部221的一侧。请参照图6和图7,在一些实施例中,电池单体20包括转接件25,转接件25连接极耳222的位于支撑体241背离主体部221的一侧的部分和电极端子213,以将极耳222与电极端子213电连接。
需要说明的是,在本申请实施例中,极耳222绕着支撑体241弯折,可以是正极极耳绕着支撑体241弯折,也可以是负极极耳绕着支撑体241弯折,也可以是正极极耳和负极极耳均绕着支撑体241弯折。极耳222绕着支撑体241弯折,极耳222可以与支撑体241的端部接触,也可以不接触。
通过使电极组件22的极耳222绕着支撑体241弯折,在电芯倒置的场景下,使得电极组件22的主体部221的重力不易传递给极耳222,不易造成极耳222分叉内插,提升了电池单体20的安全性。
请参照图3、图4、图5、图6、图7、图8和图9,支撑体241包括本体部2413和凸出部2414,极耳222绕着本体部2413弯折。沿厚度方向,凸出部2414凸出于本体部2413背离端盖组件21的一侧。凸出部2414背离端盖组件21的表面为第二表面2412,本体部2413面向端盖组件21的表面为第一表面2411。
本体部2413可以是板状结构,以便于极耳222绕着本体部2413弯折。凸出部2414是凸出于本体部2413背离端盖组件21的一侧的凸起结构,凸出部2414的形状可以是任意的,例如,长条状、圆环状、波浪状等。本申请对此不作限定。
第一表面2411是本体部2413的面向端盖组件21的表面,也即是本体部2413的背离主体部221的表面。第二表面2412是凸出部2414背离端盖组件21的表面,也是凸出部2414的朝向主体部221的表面。
通过在本体部2413上形成朝向主体部221凸出的凸出部2414,使得凸出部2414抵靠于主体部221,凸出部2414能够加强支撑体241的强度,提升支撑体241的支撑能力,同时本体部2413的厚度较薄,便于极耳222绕着本体部2413弯折。
在一些实施例中,凸出部2414包括主凸部24141和侧凸部24142,主凸部24141沿端盖组件21的宽度方向上的至少一侧设置有多个侧凸部24142。沿端盖组件21的长度方向,多个侧凸部24142间隔排布。相邻的两个侧凸部24142之间形成有用于容纳极耳222的容纳空间2415。
一般来说,端盖组件21的宽度方向与支撑件24的宽度方向相同,如图6、图7、图8和图9中所示,端盖组件21的宽度方向可以是图中的X方向。端盖组件21的长度方向与支撑件24的长度方向相同,如图6、图7、图8和图9中所示,端盖组件21的长度方向可以是图中的Y方向。
主凸部24141是凸出部2414中沿着端盖组件21的长度方向延伸的部分。侧凸部24142沿着端盖组件21的宽度方向设置于主凸部24141的至少一侧。凸出部2414包括多个侧凸部24142,多个侧凸部24142沿着端盖组件21的长度方向间隔设置。

相邻的两个侧凸部24142之间形成有容纳极耳222的容纳空间2415,使得极耳222不易与支撑件24相干涉,能够顺利地绕着本体部2413弯折,不易造成极耳222损坏。同时,主凸部24141和侧凸部24142能够对极耳222起到保护作用,降低极耳222与其他部件接触而损坏的可能性,有利于提升电池单体20的安全性和寿命。
在一些实施例中,本体部2413的面向端盖组件21的一侧上设置有第一凹槽24132,第一凹槽24132的位置与主凸部24141的位置相对应。通过设置第一凹槽24132,能够降低支撑件24的重量,降低材料消耗,节省生产成本。
在一些实施例中,第一凹槽24132内设置有加强部24133,加强部24133连接于第一凹槽24132的底壁面和侧壁面,以加强支撑件24的结构强度,保证支撑件24的支撑能力。
在一些实施例中,端盖组件21上设有注液孔212,支撑体241上设有第一通孔24131,第一通孔24131与注液孔212位置相对应。

通过设置注液孔212和第一通孔24131,便于注液。
在一些实施例中,第一通孔24131偏离支撑体241的中心位置设置。
“第一通孔24131偏离支撑体241的中心位置设置”是指第一通孔24131不在支撑体241的中心位置。
通过将第一通孔24131偏离支撑体241的中心位置设置,在将支撑件24安装于端盖组件21时,第一通孔24131能够起到防呆作用,在一定程度上降低装错的风险。
在一些实施例中,至少一个侧凸部24142设置有挂扣部242。
“至少一个侧凸部24142设置有挂扣部242”包括一个侧凸部24142设置有挂扣部242、两个侧凸部24142设置有挂扣部242和两个以上的侧凸部24142设置有挂扣部242。
通过将挂扣部242设置于侧凸部24142,巧妙地利用了侧凸部24142凸出于本体部2413的高度,使得挂扣部242能够被隐藏于第一表面2411和第二表面2412之间,减小了对支撑件24沿端盖211厚度方向的空间占用,有利于提升能量密度。
请参照图8和图9,在一些实施例中,沿长度方向,主凸部24141具有相对的第一端和第二端,第一端和/或第二端设置有侧凸部24142。位于第一端和/或第二端的侧凸部24142设置有挂扣部242。

挂扣部242可以设置在位于第一端的侧凸部24142上,也可以设置在位于第二端的侧凸部24142上,还可以同时设置于位于第一端和第二端的侧凸部24142上。
将挂扣部242设置于位于第一端和/或第二端的侧凸部24142上,便于在装配时将挂扣部242与端盖组件21挂扣配合。
请参照图6、图7、图8、图9和图10,图10为本申请一些实施例提供的支撑件24的正视示意图。在一些实施例中,位于第一端的侧凸部24142为第一凸部,位于第二端的侧凸部24142为第二凸部。第一端还设置有第一阻挡件243,沿第二端指向第一端的方向,第一阻挡件243超出设置于的第一凸部的挂扣部242。和/或第二端还设置有第二阻挡件,沿第一端指向第二端的方向,第二阻挡件超出设置于的第二凸部的挂扣部242。

在一些实施例中,第一阻挡件243和/或第二阻挡件上设置有抵持部244。沿厚度方向,抵持部244抵持于端盖组件21。
抵持部244可以是沿着厚度方向凸出于第一阻挡件243或第二阻挡件的凸起结构。抵持部244可以是仅仅设置于第一阻挡件243,也可以是仅仅设置于第二阻挡件,还可以是同时设置于第一阻挡件243和第二阻挡件。其中,沿厚度方向,抵持部 244的背离第一阻挡件243或第二阻挡件的一侧与端盖组件21的朝向主体部221的一侧相接触。
通过设置抵持部244抵持于端盖组件21,沿厚度方向,使得支撑体241无法沿主体部221指向端盖组件21的方向移动,更好地对支撑体241进行了限位,防止支撑体241出现窜动而导致电极组件22损坏。
请参照图7和图8,在一些实施例中,主凸部24141沿宽度方向上的两侧均设置有多个侧凸部24142。
多个侧凸部24142中,一部分侧凸部24142位于主体部221沿宽度方向的一侧,另一部分侧凸部24142位于主体部221沿宽度方向的另一侧,使得主体部221沿宽度方向的两侧均设置有多个侧凸部24142。
通过在主凸部24141宽度方向上的两侧均设置多个侧凸部24142,以形成多个容纳极耳222的容纳空间2415,便于极耳222从主凸部24141宽度方向上的两侧绕着本体部2413弯折。
在一些实施例中,沿端盖组件21的长度方向,支撑体241的至少一端设置有挂扣部242。
沿着端盖组件21的长度方向,支撑体241具有相对的第一端和第二端,第一端和第二端中的至少一者上设置有挂扣部242。

在一些实施例中,沿长度方向,支撑体241具有相对的第一端和第二端,第一端和第二端设置有挂扣部242。第一端还设置有第一阻挡件243,沿第二端指向第一端的方向,第一阻挡件243超出设置于的第一端的挂扣部242。和/或第二端还设置有第二阻挡件,沿第一端指向第二端的方向,第二阻挡件超出设置于的第二端的挂扣部242。
通过在第一端设置第一阻挡件243,第一阻挡件243沿第二端指向第一端的方向超出设置于第一凸部的挂扣部242,在第二端指向第一端的方向上,支撑件24与其他部件发生碰撞时,第一阻挡件243容易先与其他部件碰撞,这样,能够在一定程度上降低碰撞到挂扣部242的可能性,降低挂扣部242损坏的可能。同样地,通过在第二端设置第二阻挡件,第二阻挡件沿第一端指向第二端的方向超出设置于第二凸部的挂扣部242,在第一端指向第二端的方向上,支撑件24与其他部件发生碰撞时,第二阻挡件容易先与其他部件碰撞,这样,能够在一定程度上降低碰撞到挂扣部242的可能性,降低挂扣部242损坏的可能。
在一些实施例中,端盖组件21朝向电极组件22的一侧设置有第一凹部2152,支撑件24至少部分容纳于第一凹部2152内。
端盖组件21包括端盖211和绝缘件215,端盖211用于封闭壳体23的开口,绝缘件215用于绝缘隔离端盖211和电极组件22。其中,端盖211面向电极组件22的一侧形成第二凹槽,绝缘件215至少部分容纳于第二凹槽内。绝缘件215面向电极组件22的一侧形成第一凹部2152,支撑件24至少部分容纳于第一凹部2152内。端盖211背离电极组件22的一侧形成凸部,凸部的位置与凹槽的位置相对应。可选地,绝缘件215背离电极组件22的一侧与第二凹槽对应的位置形成凸起,凸起部分容纳于第二凹槽内,并在凸起的内部形成第一凹部2152。
通过在端盖组件21朝向电极组件22的一侧形成第一凹部2152,并使支撑件24至少部分容纳于第一凹部2152内,有利于提升能量密度。
请参照图6、图7、图8、图9、图10和图11,图11为本申请一些实施例提供的端盖211、绝缘件215和支撑件24连接的仰视示意图。在一些实施例中,支撑件24容纳于第一凹部2152的部分与第一凹部2152的侧壁面之间具有间隙,间隙用于供支撑件24相对于端盖组件21活动。
“支撑件24容纳于第一凹槽24132的部分与第一凹部2152的侧壁面之间具有间隙”可以是支撑件24容纳于第一凹槽24132的部分沿长度方向与第一凹部2152 的侧壁面之间具有间隙,以允许支撑件24相对于端盖组件21沿长度方向移动。
“支撑件24容纳于第一凹槽24132的部分与第一凹部2152的侧壁面之间具有间隙”还可以是支撑件24容纳于第一凹槽24132的部分沿宽度方向与第一凹部2152的侧壁面之间具有间隙,以允许支撑件24相对于端盖组件21沿宽度方向移动。
通过使支撑件24容纳于第一凹部2152的部分与第一凹部2152的侧壁面之间具有间隙,该间隙能够使支撑件24相对于端盖组件21活动,实现了支撑件24随极耳222形状的自适应移动。例如,当一侧的极耳222与电极端子213焊接焊偏时,该侧极耳222或者另一侧极耳222能够推动支撑件24相对于端盖组件21在第一凹部2152内移动,调整支撑件24的位置,从而不会使支撑件24始终作用于极耳222,不易造成极耳222应力集中而损坏。
在一些实施例中,支撑件24完全容纳于第一凹部2152。
将支撑件24完全容纳于第一凹部2152内,有利于降低支撑件24对电池单体20内部空间的占用,提升电池单体20的能量密度。
请参照图6、图7、图8、图9、图10和图11,在一些实施例中,沿端盖组件21的长度方向,支撑件24容纳于第一凹部2152的部分与第一凹部2152的侧壁面的最大间隙为D1,满足:0.2mm≤D1≤4mm。
D1表示支撑件24容纳于第一凹部2152的部分沿着长度方向与第一凹部2152的侧壁面的最大间隙。由于支撑件24能够相对于电极组件22自适应移动,因此,沿着长度方向,支撑件24的两端到对应的侧壁面之间的距离可能不同。以图11中所示的为例,支撑件24左侧与第一凹部2152的左侧壁面之间的间隙可能是N1,支撑件24右侧与第一凹部2152的右侧壁面之间的距离可能是N2,N1可以大于N2,也可以等于N2,还可以小于N2。这里,“沿端盖组件21的长度方向,支撑件24容纳于第一凹部2152的部分与第一凹部2152的侧壁面的最大间隙”是指N1和N2中较大的一者。
沿端盖组件21的长度方向,支撑件24容纳于第一凹部2152的部分与第一凹部2152的侧壁面的最大间隙的取值可以为:D1=0.2mm、0.4mm、0.8mm、1mm、1.5mm、2mm、2.5mm、3mm、3.5mm、4mm等。
通过使支撑件24容纳于第一凹部2152的部分沿端盖组件21的长度方向与第一凹部2152的侧壁面的最大间隙在0.2~4mm的范围内,能够保证支撑件24具有足够活动空间,保证其自适应所需要的移动范围,同时支撑件24与端盖组件21的位置相对稳固,不易出现大幅晃动。若D1<0.2mm,则支撑件24沿端盖组件21的长度方向的活动范围较小,自适应能力较差。若D1>4mm,则支撑件24沿端盖组件21的长度方向的活动范围较大,在电池单体20受到振动时,支撑件24容易出现大幅晃动,可能会造成极耳222损伤。
请参照图6、图7、图8、图9、图10和图11,在一些实施例中,沿端盖组件21的宽度方向,支撑件24容纳于第一凹部2152的部分与第一凹部2152的侧壁面的最大间隙为D2,满足:0.6mm≤D2≤4mm。
D2表示支撑件24容纳于第一凹部2152的部分沿着宽度方向与第一凹部2152的侧壁面的最大间隙。由于支撑件24能够相对于电极组件22自适应移动,因此,沿着宽度方向,支撑件24的两端到对应的侧壁面之间的距离可能不同。以图11中所示的为例,支撑件24上侧与第一凹部2152的上侧壁面之间的间隙可能是N3,支撑件24下侧与第一凹部2152的下侧壁面之间的距离可能是N4,N3可以大于N4,也可以等于N4,还可以小于N4。这里,“沿端盖组件21的宽度方向,支撑件24容纳于第一凹部2152的部分与第一凹部2152的侧壁面的最大间隙”是指N3和N4中较大的一者。
沿端盖组件21的宽度方向,支撑件24容纳于第一凹部2152的部分与第一凹部2152的侧壁面的最大间隙的取值可以为:D2=0.6mm、0.8mm、1mm、1.5mm、2mm、2.5mm、3mm、3.5mm、4mm等。
通过使支撑件24容纳于第一凹部2152的部分沿端盖组件21的宽度方向与 第一凹部2152的侧壁面的最大间隙在0.6~4mm的范围内,能够保证支撑件24具有足够活动空间,保证其自适应所需要的移动范围,同时支撑件24与端盖组件21的位置相对稳固,不易出现大幅晃动。若D2<0.6mm,则支撑件24沿端盖组件21的宽度方向的活动范围较小,自适应能力较差。若D2>4mm,则支撑件24沿端盖组件21的宽度方向的活动范围较大,在电池单体20受到振动时,支撑件24容易出现大幅晃动,可能会造成极耳222损伤。
在一些实施例中,端盖组件21包括端盖211和绝缘件215,绝缘件215位于端盖211面向主体部221的一侧,绝缘件215用于绝缘隔离电极组件22和端盖211。挂扣部242与绝缘件215挂扣配合。
通过将支撑件24与绝缘件215挂扣配合,无需改变现有的端盖211的制造方式,绝缘件215相比于端盖211来说,价格更低,制造更为容易,有利于降低生产成本。另外,将支撑件24与绝缘件215挂扣配合,相比于将支撑件24连接于端盖211而言,不易产生新的问题(例如端盖211的密封、绝缘问题)。
在一些实施例中,端盖211设置有泄压机构214。沿端盖组件21的厚度方向,绝缘件215上形成有沿面向电极组件22的方向凸出的第一凸起2151,第一凸起2151内形成有用于避让泄压机构214的第一避让空间2154。支撑件24面向绝缘件215的一侧设有第二凹部24134,第一凸起2151至少部分容纳于第二凹部24134内。
第一凸起2151是绝缘件215上的凸出结构,第一凸起2151沿着朝向电极组件22的方向凸出,第一凸起2151的位置与泄压机构214的位置相对应。第一凸起2151可以部分容纳于第二凹部24134,也可以完全容纳于第二凹部24134内。
第一凸起2151的背离电极组件22的一侧形成有第一避让空间2154,第一避让空间2154用于避让泄压机构214,以方便泄压机构214泄压。
第二凹部24134是设置支撑件24上的槽体结构。第二凹部24134的位置与第一凸起2151的位置相对应,并与泄压机构214的位置相对应。第二凹部24134的底壁上开设有沿厚度方向贯穿支撑件24的泄压孔24135,以允许壳体23内部的气体经过泄压孔24135,并从泄压机构214排出,以实现泄压。
通过设置第一凸起2151和第二凹部24134,使得第一凸起2151至少部分容纳于第二凹部24134内,第一凸起2151与第二凹部24134配合,能够对支撑件24起到限位作用,避免支撑件24在壳体23内移动。
在一些实施例中,第一凸起2151容纳于第二凹部24134的部分与第二凹部24134的侧壁面之间具有间隙,间隙用于供支撑件24相对于绝缘件215活动。
“第一凸起2151容纳于第二凹部24134的部分与第二凹部24134的侧壁面之间具有间隙”可以是第一凸起2151容纳于第二凹槽的部分沿长度方向与第二凹部24134的侧壁面之间具有间隙,以允许支撑件24相对于端盖组件21沿长度方向移动。
“第一凸起2151容纳于第二凹部24134的部分与第二凹部24134的侧壁面之间具有间隙”可以是第一凸起2151容纳于第二凹槽的部分沿宽度方向与第二凹部24134的侧壁面之间具有间隙,以允许支撑件24相对于端盖组件21沿宽度方向移动。
通过使第一凸起2151容纳于第二凹部24134的部分与第二凹部24134的侧壁面之间具有间隙,该间隙能够使支撑件24相对于绝缘件215活动,实现了支撑件24随极耳222形状的自适应移动。例如,当一侧的极耳222与电极端子213焊接焊偏时,该侧极耳222或者另一侧极耳222能够推动支撑件24相对于绝缘件215移动,调整支撑件24的位置,从而不会使支撑件24始终作用于极耳222,不易造成极耳222应力集中而损坏。
在一些实施例中,第二凹部24134的侧壁面与第一凸起2151的外周面之间的最大间隙为D3,满足:0.4≤D3≤4mm。
D3表示第二凹部24134的侧壁面与第一凸起2151的外周面之间的最大间隙。由于支撑件24能够相对于电极组件22自适应移动,因此,第二凹部24134的侧壁面与第一凸起2151的外周面在不同位置的间隙可能不同。“第二凹部24134的侧壁面与第一凸起2151的外周面之间的最大间隙”是指在该位置的间隙大于或等于其他任 意位置的间隙。
第二凹部24134的侧壁面与第一凸起2151的外周面之间的最大间隙的取值可以为:D1=0.4mm、0.8mm、1mm、1.5mm、2mm、2.5mm、3mm、3.5mm、4mm等。
通过使第二凹部24134的侧壁面与第一凸起2151的外周面之间的最大间隙在0.4~4mm的范围内,能够保证支撑件24具有足够活动空间,保证其自适应所需要的移动范围,同时支撑件24与绝缘件215的位置相对稳固,不易出现大幅晃动。若D2<0.4mm,则支撑件24的活动范围较小,自适应能力较差。若D2>4mm,则支撑件24活动范围较大,在电池单体20受到振动时,支撑件24容易出现大幅晃动,可能会造成极耳222损伤。
请参照图12和图13,图12为本申请另一些实施例提供的电池单体20的俯视示意图。图13为图13中D-D位置的剖视图。在一些实施例中,沿厚度方向,第一凸起2151上形成有沿面向电极组件22的方向凸出的第二凸起2153,第二凸起2153内形成有用于避让泄压机构214的第二避让空间2155。第二避让空间2155与第一避让空间2154连通,第二凸起2153抵靠于第二凹部24134的底壁面。
第二凸起2153是第一凸起2151上的凸出结构,第二凸起2153沿着朝向电极组件22的方向凸出,第二凸起2153的位置与泄压机构214的位置相对应。第二凸起2153的背离电极组件22的一侧形成有第二避让空间2155,第二避让空间2155与第一避让空间2154连通,以用于避让泄压机构214,以方便泄压机构214泄压。
“第二凸起2153抵靠于第二凹部24134的底壁面”是指第二凸起2153的朝向电极组件22的表面与第二凹部24134的底壁面相接触,二者之间可以具有力的作用,也可以不具有力的作用。
通过在第一凸起2151上形成沿面向电极组件22的方向凸出的第二凸起2153,并在第二凸起2153内形成第二避让空间2155,使得第二避让空间2155与第一避让空间2154连通,使得绝缘件215具有较大的避让泄压机构214的避让空间,便于泄压机构214泄压,有利于提升电池单体20的安全性。另外,第二凸起2153抵靠于第二凹部24134的底壁面,也限制了支撑件24沿从主体部221指向端盖组件21的方向的移动,防止支撑体241出现窜动而导致电极组件22损坏。
请参照图14,图14为图6中C位置的放大图。在一些实施例中,沿端盖组件21的厚度方向,端盖组件21的朝向主体部221的表面与第二表面2412之间的距离为H,满足:H≤0.5mm。
H是指端盖组件21的朝向主体部221的表面与第二表面2412之间的距离。沿着端盖组件21的厚度方向,端盖组件21的朝向主体部221的表面沿端盖组件21指向主体部221的方向可以是超出于第二表面2412,也可以是与第二表面2412平齐,还可以是第二表面2412沿端盖组件21指向主体部221的方向超出于端盖组件21的朝向主体部221的表面。
沿端盖组件21的厚度方向,端盖组件21的朝向主体部221的表面与第二表面2412之间的距离的取值可以为:H=0、0.1mm、0.2mm、0.25mm、0.3mm、0.35mm、0.4mm、0.45mm、0.5mm等。
通过将端盖组件21的朝向主体部221的表面沿端盖组件21的厚度方向与第二表面2412之间的距离限制在0.5mm内,有利于充分利用壳体23的内部空间,提高电池单体20的能量密度。若H>0.5mm,说明沿着主体部221指向端盖组件21的方向上,端盖组件21的朝向主体部221的表面超出于第二表面2412的距离较大,或者第二表面2412超出于端盖组件21的朝向主体部221的表面的距离较大,导致壳体23内大量空间被浪费,不利于电池单体20能量密度的提高。
在一些实施例中,端盖组件21的朝向主体部221的表面与第二表面2412平齐。
“端盖组件21的朝向主体部221的表面与第二表面2412平齐”也可以理解为,沿着厚度方向,端盖组件21的朝向主体部221的表面到主体部221的距离为第一距离,第二表面2412到主体部221的距离为第二距离,第一距离和第二距离相等。
通过使端盖组件的朝向主体部221的表面与第二表面2412平齐,有利于充分利用壳体23的内部空间,提高电池单体20的能量密度。
本申请实施例还提供了一种电池100,电池100包括箱体10及上述的电池单体20,电池单体20容纳于箱体10内。
在一些实施例中,端盖组件21设置于电池单体20的靠近箱体10的底壁的一侧。
箱体10的底壁即箱体10上与箱体10的开口端相对的壁面。
通过将端盖组件21设置于电池单体20的靠近箱体10的底壁的一侧,即将电池单体20倒置于箱体10内。
本申请实施例还提供了一种用电设备,用电设备包括上述的电池100,电池100用于提供电能。
根据本申请的一些实施例,请参照图3~图14。
本申请实施例提供了一种电池单体20,电池单体20包括壳体23、电极组件22、端盖组件21和支撑件24。壳体23具有开口。壳体23具有开口。电极组件22具有主体部221和凸出于主体部221的极耳222,电极组件22容纳于壳体23内。端盖组件21封闭开口。支撑件24位于壳体23内。支撑件24包括支撑体241和挂扣部242,极耳222绕着支撑体241弯折。沿端盖组件21的厚度方向,支撑体241具有面向端盖组件21的第一表面2411和背离端盖组件21的第二表面2412,第二表面2412抵靠于主体部221。挂扣部242设置于支撑体241,挂扣部242与端盖组件21挂扣配合。挂扣部242位于第一表面2411和第二表面2412之间。
该电池单体20的端盖组件21和主体部221之间设置有支撑件24,在电芯倒置的场景下,支撑体241能对电极组件22起到支撑作用,使得电极组件22的主体部221的重力不易传递给极耳222,不易造成极耳222分叉内插,提升了电池单体20的安全性。支撑体241通过挂扣部242连接于端盖组件21,使得支撑件24不会在壳体23内上下窜动,不会砸向电极组件22而导致电极组件22损坏。将挂扣部242设置于第一表面2411和第二表面2412之间,减小了对端盖组件21厚度方向上的体积的占用,有利于提高电池单体20的能量密度。再者,挂扣部242未超出于第一表面2411或第二表面2412,在生产过程中,挂扣部242不易受到外力作用而断裂。在堆料时,多个支撑件24是层叠设置的,挂扣部242未超出第一表面2411或第二表面2412,使得一个支撑件24的第一表面2411能够贴合于另一个支撑件24的第二表面2412,这样,两个支撑件24的接触面积更大,有利于稳定堆料。另外,挂扣部242设置于第一表面2411和第二表面2412之间相比于挂扣部242超出于第一表面2411或第二表面2412而言,在堆料时,相邻的两个支撑件24之间不易钩挂,在取用一个支撑件24时,不会拉动另一个支撑件24,有利于提高生产的安全性和生产效率。
沿长度方向,支撑体241具有相对的第一端和第二端,第一端和第二端设置有挂扣部242。第一端还设置有第一阻挡件243,沿第二端指向第一端的方向,第一阻挡件243超出设置于的第一端的挂扣部242。第二端还设置有第二阻挡件,沿第一端指向第二端的方向,第二阻挡件超出设置于的第二端的挂扣部242。通过在第一端设置第一阻挡件243,第一阻挡件243沿第二端指向第一端的方向超出设置于第一凸部的挂扣部242,在第二端指向第一端的方向上,支撑件24与其他部件发生碰撞时,第一阻挡件243容易先与其他部件碰撞,这样,能够在一定程度上降低碰撞到挂扣部242的可能性,降低挂扣部242损坏的可能。同样地,通过在第二端设置第二阻挡件,第二阻挡件沿第一端指向第二端的方向超出设置于第二凸部的挂扣部242,在第一端指向第二端的方向上,支撑件24与其他部件发生碰撞时,第二阻挡件容易先与其他部件碰撞,这样,能够在一定程度上降低碰撞到挂扣部242的可能性,降低挂扣部242损坏的可能。
以上所述仅为本申请的优选实施例而已,并不用于限制本申请,对于本领域的技术人员来说,本申请可以有各种更改和变化。凡在本申请的精神和原则之内,所作的任何修改、等同替换、改进等,均应包含在本申请的保护范围之内。
