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。
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,电极组件包括正极极片、负极极片和隔离件。电池单体主要依靠金属离子在正极极片和负极极片之间移动来工作。正极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;正极集流体包括正极涂覆区和连接于正极涂覆区的正极极耳,正极涂覆区涂覆有正极活性物质层,正极极耳未涂覆正极活性物质层。以锂离子电池单体为例,正极集流体的材料可以为铝,正极活性物质层包括正极活性物质,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;负极集流体包括负极涂覆区和连接于负极涂覆区的负极极耳,负极涂覆区涂覆有负极活性物质层,负极极耳未涂覆负极活性物质层。负极集流体的材料可以为铜,负极活性物质层包括负极活性物质,负极活性物质可以为碳或硅等。隔离件的材质可以为PP(polypropylene,聚丙烯)或PE(polyethylene,聚乙烯)等。

在电池单体的循环过程中,可能会出现异常状况。比如,电池单体在经过多次充放电循环后,电池单体内部可能会发生副反应并持续产生气体,气体会增大电池单体内部的气压,进而引发外壳变形、破裂的风险。再比如,电池单体内部出现短路时,电池单体产热升温,进而引发电池单体热失控的风险。
在电池的使用过程中,如果不能检测到电池单体的异常情况并及时处理,那么将会导致电池单体恶化,引发安全事故。
发明人尝试在端盖上安装检测组件,检测组件可实时检测电池单体的状态信息,从而根据电池单体的状态信息对电池单体进行调控,改善电池单体的循环性能,降低安全风险,延长电池单体的循环寿命。
为了提升电池单体的安全性,发明人会在端盖的表面附接绝缘件;绝缘件可将端盖与电池单体外部的其它部件隔开,以降低短路风险。
然而,发明人发现,将检测组件安装到端盖上,会造成检测组件与绝缘件干涉的风险。如果先安装检测组件,再安装绝缘件,那么检测组件容易与绝缘件干涉,造成绝缘件翘起且难以和端盖紧密贴合。如果先安装绝缘件,再安装检测组件,那么绝缘件会将检测组件和端盖隔开,造成检测组件难以准确地检测端盖的状态,导致检测 的精度下降。
鉴于此,本申请实施例提供了一种技术方案,其通过在绝缘件上开设避让结构,以降低检测组件与绝缘件干涉的风险,提高绝缘件和端盖的连接强度以及检测组件检测的精度。
