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组或电池包等。一些电池可以包括用于封装一个或多个电池单体或多个电池模组的箱体。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。当然，还有一些电池可以不包括上述箱体，直接设置在用电装置的电池安装舱内。
本申请中，电池单体可以包括锂离子二次电池、锂离子一次电池、锂硫电池、钠锂离子电池、钠离子电池或镁离子电池等，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。
例如，电池单体可以包括包装壳、电极组件和电解液，包装壳用于容纳电极组件和电解液。电极组件由正极极片、负极极片和隔离膜组成。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，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极极耳。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极极耳。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，正极极耳的数量为多个且层叠在一起，负极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。
当电池单体遇到过热、过充、内部短路、碰撞、挤压等情况时，电池单体内部的电极组件会产生大量的热量引起膨胀，在膨胀受限或内压过大的情况下，电池单体极易发生爆炸，对人们的生命财产安全造成危害。
基于此，申请人经过深入研究，提出了一种电池单体100的包装壳1，将包装壳1设置为包括层叠设置的薄膜层11和金属层12，金属层12具有缺口区域121，薄膜层11覆盖缺口区域121的部位形成为泄压部111。由此，通过将包装壳1的金属层12的局部设为缺口区域121，以使薄膜层11对应缺口区域121的位置形成为能够密封且容易冲破的泄压部111，从而在满足包装壳1的密封要求的前提下，可以实现电池单体100的定向泄压，避免了电池单体100内部压力过大发生的爆炸问题，且由于泄压方向是确定的，从而可以有效缩小泄压喷发的扩散影响范围，提高电池10000整体的安全性。而且，本申请提出的包装壳1形成泄压部111的方式简单，容易加工，成本低，对于柱形电池单体、方形电池单体和软包电池单体均适用，适用范围广。
此外，需要说明的是，本申请实施例公开的电池10000可以但不限用于车辆、船舶或飞行器等用电装置20000中。因此，本申请实施例提供一种使用电池10000作为电源的用电装置20000，用电装置20000可以为但不限于手机、平板、笔记本电脑、电动玩具、电动工具、电瓶车、电动汽车、轮船、航天器等等。其中，电动玩具可以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，航天器可以包括飞机、火箭、航天飞机和宇宙飞船等等。
下面，描述根据本申请一些实施例的包装壳1。
如图1和图2所示，包装壳1用于电池单体100，包装壳1限定出容纳电极组件2的容纳腔101。可以理解的是，电池单体100的电极组件2和电解液均设置在容纳腔101内。
结合图3，包装壳1包括层叠设置的薄膜层11和金属层12，金属层12具有缺口区域121，薄膜层11覆盖缺口区域121的部位形成为泄压部111。
其中，薄膜层11和金属层12层叠设置指的是，薄膜层11覆盖于金属层12的厚度至少一侧表面。
其中，薄膜层11的层数不限，可以为单层或多层。并且，薄膜层11的材质不限，可以根据功能需要设置为不同的非金属材质。由此，可以根据薄膜层11的材质等实际情况，选择将薄膜层11覆盖在金属层12的厚度哪侧表面。
其中，金属层12的形式不限，例如可以为金属板形式(例如用于方形电池单体的包装壳)、或金属箔形式(例如用于软包电池单体的包装壳)等。并且，金属层12的材质不限，可以根据需要选择不同的材质，这里不作限制。
由此，根据本申请的电池单体100的包装壳1，通过将包装壳1的金属层12的局部设为缺口区域121，以使薄膜层11对应缺口区域121的位置形成为能够起到密封缺口区域121且容易冲破泄压的泄压部111，从而在满足包装壳1的密封要求的前提下，可以实现电池单体100的定向泄压，避免了电池单体100内部压力过大发生的爆炸问题，且由于泄压方向是确定的，从而可以有效缩小泄压喷发的扩散影响范围，提高电池10000整体的安全性。而且，本申请提出的包装壳1形成泄压部111的方式简单，容易加工，成本低，对于柱形电池单体、方形电池单体和软包电池单体均适用，适用范围广。
发明人发现，对于方形电池单体来说，可以在金属壳上设置防爆阀，起到泄压防爆的功能。但是，防爆阀的结构较为复杂，且安装较难，生产成本较高，且受安装等情况影响，存在泄压可靠性难以保证的问题。而当方形电池单体采用本申请的包装壳1时，可以通过在金属壳上挖出缺口区域121，并在金属壳上覆膜，以使缺口区域121获得覆膜的密封，从而获得对应缺口区域121的泄压部111，可以有效地降低包装壳1的加工难度和装配难度，降低加工成本，提高泄压防爆的可靠性。
发明人发现，对于软包电池单体来说，通常采用较薄的薄膜作为包装壳进行包装，此种包装壳上很难设置防爆阀，当遇到过热、过充、内部短路、碰撞、挤压等情况，软包电池单体内部的电极组件会产生大量的热量引起膨胀，在膨胀受限或内压过大的情况下，软包电池单体极易发生爆炸。而且，当软包电池单体在膨胀受限或内压过大发生喷发时，由于喷发的方向不确定，极大的增大了喷发的扩散影响范围，例如容易引发电池中其他软包电池单体也发生爆炸，致使电池整体的安全隐患更大，不利于消费者的使用安全。
为了解决上述技术问题，在一些现有技术中，软包电池单体的包装壳在封边位置形成局部窄封区，即局部的封压宽度小于其余位置的封压宽度，以使得软包电池单体内部产生的热量容易从局部窄封区冲破喷出。然而，由于软包电池单体内的电解液会对包装壳起到一定的腐蚀作用，当局部窄封区的封压宽度较小，且封压长度较大时，容易影响软包电池单体的密封性，存在漏液隐患。
而当软包电池单体采用本申请的包装壳1时，可以通过在金属层12上挖出缺口区域121，并利用覆盖金属层12的薄膜密封缺口区域121以获得泄压部111，可以实现通过泄压部111实现泄压，避免发生爆炸，而且由于设置了泄压部111，可以实现定向泄压，可以降低热失控喷发时对电池10000中的其他电池单体100造成的不利影响。而且，由于泄压部111是通过金属层12的缺口区域121形成，即便泄压部111位于封边位置，也无需为了满足易冲破需求而设置成局部极窄封边，避免形成漏液隐患，从而可以提高电池10000的可靠性。
在本申请的一些实施例中，如图2和图5所示，容纳腔101的厚度两侧分别为端面区域1011，连接两侧的端面区域1011的为侧部区域1012，泄压部111设于侧部区域1012。由此，有利于快速泄压，提高电池单体100的热失控安全性。例如，一般来说，电极组件2中的正负极片的厚度方向通常为容纳腔101的厚度方向，泄压喷发方向通常是垂直于正负极片的厚度方向，也就是说，相当于是朝向侧部区域1012泄压喷发，这样，通过将泄压部111设于侧部区域1012，有利于快速泄压喷发，进一步避免爆炸风险，提高安全性。
当然，本申请不限于此，在本申请的其他实施例中，也可以将泄压部111设于端面区域1011，以适应不同的电极组件2设置方式，或者满足便于加工等其他要求，这里不作赘述。
如上文所述，本申请的包装壳1所应用的电池单体100中的电极组件2的类型不限。
例如，在一些实施例中，当电极组件2为卷绕式电极组件时，泄压部111适于对应电极组件2为卷绕式电极组件的轴端设置。具体而言，对于卷绕式电极组件来说，卷绕式电极组件中的正负极片的厚度方向垂直于卷绕式电极组件的轴向，泄压喷发方向通常是垂直于正负极片的厚度方向，也就是说，相当于是朝向卷绕式电极组件的轴向泄压喷发，这样，通过将泄压部111设于卷绕式电极组件的轴端，有利于快速泄压喷发，进一步避免爆炸风险，提高安全性。
例如，在一些实施例中，当电极组件2为叠片式电极组件时，泄压部111适于对应电极组件2为叠片式电极组件的周侧设置。具体而言，对于叠片式电极组件来说，叠片式电极组件中的正负极片的厚度方向垂直于叠片式电极组件的周侧，泄压喷发方向通常是垂直于正负极片的厚度方向，也就是说，相当于是朝向叠片式电极组件的周侧泄压喷发，这样，通过将泄压部111设于叠片式电极组件的周侧，有利于快速泄压喷发，进一步避免爆炸风险，提高安全性。
在本申请的一些实施例中，如图1所示，侧部区域1012适于设有电连接部3(例如极耳或极柱等)，泄压部111与电连接部3异侧设置。也就是说，泄压部111与电连接部3并 非设于同侧表面，这样，由于电连接部3和泄压部111分别位于电池单体100的不同表面上，有利于保证电池单体100的电连接部3和泄压部111之间具有较大的间距，以有效避免在热失控等情况下，电池单体100通过泄压部111排放的排放物中的导电颗粒等流至电连接部3造成绝缘失效、高压打火等问题，保证电池单体100的电连接部3之间的爬电间隙，以避免发生短路问题，提高电池单体100的工作可靠性。
可选地，如图1所示，泄压部111适于与电连接部3分置于容纳腔101的长度两侧。由此，可以进一步拉远电连接部3与泄压部111之间的距离，更好地保证电连接部3免受泄压部111排出的排放物的影响，即受影响概率更小，电池单体100的使用安全性和可靠性更好。
当然，本申请不限于此，例如在本申请的其他实施例中，也可以将泄压部111与电连接部3设于电池单体100的相邻两侧，或者设于电池单体100的宽度两侧等等，以满足其他不同要求，这里不作赘述。
在本申请的一些实施例中，如图3所示，薄膜层11可以包括覆盖于金属层12内侧的内薄膜层11b，其中，“内侧”指的是金属层12朝向容纳腔101的一侧。由此，可以利用薄膜层11起到相应的功能，例如起到绝缘、或热熔等相关功能。
在本申请的一些实施例中，如图3所示，薄膜层11可以包括覆盖于金属层12外侧的外薄膜层11a，其中，“外侧”指的是金属层12背向容纳腔101的一侧。由此，可以利用薄膜层11起到相应的功能，例如起到保护、或绝缘等相关功能。
在本申请的一些实施例中，如图3所示，薄膜层11为多层且包括覆盖于金属层12内侧的内薄膜层11b，同时还包括覆盖于金属层12外侧的外薄膜层11a。由此，可以提高泄压部111处的密封性，更好地避免漏液隐患。其中，“内侧”指的是金属层12朝向容纳腔101的一侧；“外侧”指的是金属层12背向容纳腔101的一侧。
例如在一些实施例中，包装壳1由至少一片热封膜102封压热封边103形成，热封膜102包括金属层12和位于金属层12内外两侧的薄膜层11(即(即位于金属层12外侧的薄膜层11和位于金属层12内侧的薄膜层11)。例如图2所示，该包装壳1可以用于软包电池单体，热封膜102均包括从外到内依次设置的：外薄膜层11a(即位于金属层12外侧的薄膜层11)、金属层12和内薄膜层11b(即位于金属层12内侧的薄膜层11)。
例如，当包装壳1由两片热封膜102封压热封边103形成时，封装时，可以由热压机将两片热封膜102压合，内薄膜层11b融化并融合在一起，在两片热封膜102的边缘形成一圈热封边103，同时在两个热封膜102之间由热封边103围绕起来的空间即为容纳腔101。
又例如，当包装壳1由一片热封膜102封压热封边103形成时，封装时，该热封膜102 对折，然后进行其余三边热封，以在三侧热封边103与折痕之间围绕出容纳腔101，也能够达到封装的效果，这里不作赘述。或者，在本申请的其他实施例中，包装壳1还可以由三片或以上热封膜102封压热封边103形成，这里不作赘述。
对于热封膜102来说，内薄膜层11b可以为聚丙烯层等，以起到热熔连接等作用。外薄膜层11a可以为聚乙烯层或尼龙层等，起到保护作用。金属层12可以为铝箔、钢箔等，起到支撑、隔绝等作用，这里不作限制。
值得说明的是，当热封膜102包括从外到内依次设置的：外薄膜层11a、金属层12和内薄膜层11b时，外薄膜层11a的数量不限，内薄膜层11b的数量也不限，在对应缺口区域121的位置，外薄膜层11a与内薄膜层11b可以是连接的(例如图4所示)，也可以是不连接的(例如图3所示)，这里不作限制。
此外，值得说明的是，当包装壳1用于方形电池单体时，例如图5所示，包装壳1可以包括金属板形式的金属层12和至少一层薄膜层11，薄膜层11可以位于金属层12的内侧(即内薄膜层11b)或者外侧(即外薄膜层11a)。金属层12的材质不限，例如为钢板或铝板等，这里不作赘述。
当包装壳1由至少一片热封膜102封压热封边103形成时，在一些可选实施例中，如图1所示，泄压部111可以位于热封边103处。由此，由于热封边103相对薄弱，通过热封边103与泄压部111的叠加，可以更好地满足泄压喷发需求。
进一步地，热封边103可以包括弱封区域，弱封区域的密封强度小于热封边103的其余区域的密封强度，泄压部111位于弱封区域。也就是说，在相同的压力下，弱封区域相较热封边103的其他部位更容易被破坏。由此，通过将泄压部111设于弱封区域，通过弱封区域与泄压部111的叠加，可以更好地满足泄压喷发需求。
弱封区域的形成方式不限。例如在一些可选示例中，弱封区域的密封宽度小于其余区域的密封宽度。也就是说，通过封边宽度的不同，使得封边宽度相对较窄的部分作为弱封区域，从而便于加工。此外，由于在弱封区域设有泄压部111，使得弱封区域的宽度无需极窄，从而在满足泄压喷发要求的同时，避免漏液问题。
又例如在另外一些可选示例中，弱封区域的封压压缩量小于其余区域的封压压缩量。也就是说，通过封装时的封压压缩量不同，使得封压压缩量相对较小的部分作为弱封区域，从而便于加工，而且可以较好地避免漏液问题。
在本申请的一些实施例中，如图6所示，缺口区域121可以贯穿金属层12的边缘。由此，便于缺口区域121的加工。而且，当泄压部111位于热封边103时，通过将缺口区域 121设置为贯穿金属层12的边缘，可以较好地满足泄压部111的位置要求。
在本申请的另外一些实施例中，如图7所示，缺口区域121还可以与金属层12的边缘间隔开。也就是说，缺口区域121并未贯穿金属层12的边缘，从而可以使得泄压部111的设置位置灵活、多变，满足多种不同的设计需求，这里不作赘述。
值得说明的是，缺口区域121的数量不限，因此对应的泄压部111的数量不限，例如泄压部111可以仅为一个，从而有利于定向泄压喷发，有利于喷发的排放物的收集。或者，也可以将泄压部111设置为多个，从而有利于快速泄压喷发，此时，可以从多个方向收集喷发的排放物。
下面，描述根据本申请实施例的电池单体100。
如图1和图2所示，电池单体100可以包括电极组件2和包装壳1，包装壳1限定出容纳电极组件2的容纳腔101，且包装壳1为根据本申请任一实施例的电池单体100的包装壳1。由此，根据本申请的电池单体100，通过采用本申请的包装壳1，通过将包装壳1的金属层12的局部设为缺口区域121，以使薄膜层11对应缺口区域121的位置形成为能够起到密封缺口区域121且容易冲破泄压的泄压部111，从而在满足包装壳1的密封要求的前提下，可以实现电池单体100的定向泄压，避免了电池单体100内部压力过大发生的爆炸问题，且由于泄压方向是确定的，从而可以有效缩小泄压喷发的扩散影响范围，提高电池10000整体的安全性。
而且，本申请提出的包装壳1形成泄压部111的方式简单，容易加工，成本低，对于柱形电池单体、方形电池单体和软包电池单体均适用，适用范围广，从而使得本申请实施例的电池单体100的类型不限。
下面，描述根据本申请实施例的电池模组1000。
如图8所示，电池模组1000可以包括模组壳体200和至少一个根据本申请实施例的电池单体100，电池单体100放置于模组壳体200形成的容纳空间中。也就是说，模组壳体200内形成有容纳空间，容纳空间内可以放置一个或者多个电池单体100，当放置多个电池单体100时，可以实现多个电池单体100的整体安装，从而提高装配效率。
基于上述方案，由于本申请的电池单体100采用本申请的包装壳1，可以在降低成本的基础上，提高电池单体100的安全性，从而可以提升整个电池模组1000的安全性，并降低整个电池模组1000的成本。
在一些实施例中，如图8所示，模组壳体200的一侧表面为设定表面201，设定表面201上设有防爆部202，电池单体100的泄压部111朝向设定表面201设置，也就是说，每个电 池单体100的设置泄压部111的一侧朝向设定表面201设置，从而可以大体朝向防爆部202喷发。由此，电池单体100泄压排放的排放物可以很容易从防爆部202喷出，从而有利于提升电池模组1000的安全性。值得说明的是，防爆部202的具体构成不限，例如可以为厚度减薄的薄弱部、或者防爆阀等，这里不作限制。
例如在一些实施例中，如图8所示，模组壳体200内设置多个电池单体100，且多个电池单体100沿第一方向F1排列成电池组300，每个电池单体100的厚度方向均为第一方向F1，设定表面201设于多个电池组300在第二方向F2上的一侧，第二方向F2相交于第一方向F1。也就是说，第二方向F2与第一方向F1的延伸方向不同，例如可以相交锐角、直角或钝角。
一般来说，电极组件2中的正负极片的厚度方向通常为电池单体100的厚度方向(即第一方向F1)，泄压喷发方向通常是垂直于正负极片的厚度方向(例如沿着第二方向F2或者稍微倾斜于第二方向F2)，由此，通过将设置防爆部202的设定表面201设于电池组300在第二方向F2上的一侧，正好可以满足电池单体100沿第二方向F2泄压喷发的要求，有利于模组壳体200内的每个电池单体100的快速泄压喷发，进一步避免爆炸风险，提高安全性。
此外，当将第一方向F1设置为竖直方向，第二方向F2设置为水平方向，每个电池单体100都相当于是平躺设置，占用的竖向空间较小，减小电池模组1000的整体高度，而且可以降低电池单体100的重心高度，缩小电池单体100的泄压喷溅范围。
在一些实施例中，如图8所示，防爆部202可以对应电池组300在第一方向F1上的中央位置设置，由此，电池组300中任一电池单体100泄压喷发时都能相对较快速地冲破防爆部202，从而进一步提升电池模组1000的安全性。例如，电池组300包括沿第一方向F1排列的四个电池单体100，中间的两个电池单体100之间的位置对应设置防爆部202；又例如，电池组300包括沿第一方向F1排列的五个电池单体100，处于五个电池单体100中间位置的一个电池单体100对应的位置设置防爆部202。
在一些实施例中，如图8所示，模组壳体200上具有接电部203，接电部203与防爆部202异侧设置。也就是说，也就是说，防爆部202与接电部203并非设于同侧表面，这样，由于接电部203和防爆部202分别位于电池模组1000的不同表面上，有利于保证电池模组1000的接电部203和防爆部202之间具有较大的间距，以有效避免在热失控等情况下，电池模组1000通过防爆部202排放的排放物中的导电颗粒等流至接电部203造成绝缘失效、高压打火等问题，保证电池模组1000的接电部203之间的爬电间隙，以避免发生短路问题， 提高电池模组1000的工作可靠性。
在一些实施例中，如图8所示，接电部203与防爆部202设于模组壳体200的相对两侧。由此，可以进一步拉远接电部203与防爆部202之间的距离，更好地保证接电部203免受防爆部202排出的排放物的影响，即受影响概率更小，电池模组1000的使用安全性和可靠性更好。当然，本申请不限于此，在本申请的其他实施例中，接电部203与防爆部202还可以分别设于模组壳体200的相邻两侧，甚至设于同侧，从而满足不同实际需求，这里不作赘述。
下面，描述根据本申请实施例的电池10000。
如图9所示，电池10000可以包括：电池模组1000和排放组件2000，电池模组1000为根据本申请实施例的电池模组1000，排放组件2000限定出排放腔2001，电池模组1000的防爆部202朝向排放组件2000设置，防爆部202适于向排放腔2001内喷发。
例如，当电池单体100发生热失控时，电池单体100通过泄压部111排出排放物，排放物如火焰、烟雾或气体等，排放物再通过防爆部202喷出，进入排放腔2001，以存放于排放腔2001，或者经由排放腔2001导走等等。由此，通过设置排放组件2000，在发生热失控时既能满足排气需求，又能避免导电颗粒物四处游走而引发的绝缘失效问题，降低热失控造成的热扩散影响。
例如结合图9，电池模组1000可以设于排放组件2000的外侧，电池模组1000的防爆部202面对排放腔2001的入口2002设置，以便于热失控时朝向排放腔2001快速排放。
结合图10和图11，当排放组件2000同时与多个电池模组1000对应设置时，排放组件2000上可以具有多个入口2002，每个入口2002分别对应一个电池模组1000，即多个电池模组1000与多个入口2002一一对应设置，更为具体地说，每个电池模组1000的防爆部202分别对应一个入口2002设置，从而有利于热失控时的快速泄压排放。
例如在图10所示的具体示例中，排放组件2000的两侧分别设有电池模组1000，其中排放件的两侧中的每一侧均设有多个电池模组1000，且多个电池模组1000沿排放组件2000的长度方向间隔设置，由此，多个电池模组1000可以共用同一个排放组件2000，从而简化结构、减小电池10000的体积。
在一些实施例中，如图10-图12所示，排放组件2000的两侧分别设有电池模组1000，排放腔2001内具有防对喷件2003，防对喷件2003包括颗粒物处理件和/或防火材料件。
例如，当发生热失控时，电池单体100产生的排放物如火焰、烟雾或气体可进入排放腔2001内，通过防对喷件2003的阻挡，能够对排放物中的火焰或导电颗粒有效隔离，避免喷射到对侧，引起对侧的电池模组1000受到热失控造成的二次伤害。
例如，当排放物中的导电颗粒流经颗粒物处理件所在区域、或颗粒物处理件所能处理的区域时，颗粒物处理件可以对颗粒物进行捕捉、收集、限位、或涂覆绝缘层等相关操作，以避免颗粒物中的导电颗粒四处游走而引发的绝缘失效问题。
例如，当排放物向排放腔2001内喷入时，处于防护状态的防火材料件可以阻挡排放物中的火焰直喷，即排放物中的至少火焰部分可以被防火材料件阻挡，起到较为有效的防火效果，以改善由于热失控导致的热扩散问题。
在本申请的一些实施例中，如图10-图12，排放组件2000的朝向电池模组1000的一侧具有换热部2004。换热部2004用于与电池模组1000和排放腔2001中的至少一个交换热量，以为电池模组1000和排放腔2001中的至少一个散热，从而实现冷却的效果，降低热蔓延的概率。由此，排放组件2000在保证排气功能的前提下，还兼具散热功能。
例如，换热部2004可以包括换热腔，换热腔内可以填充可流动的换热流体，换热流体可以在换热腔中流动，依靠流动性不断地与排放腔2001内的排放物进行热量交换，将排放腔2001中聚集的热量带走，降低出现热量集中的概率，提高安全性，降低发生热蔓延的概率。
例如图11-图12所示，排放组件2000可以包括梁体2005和设于梁体2005外的冷板2006，梁体2005与冷板2006之间限定出排放腔2001，冷板2006上形成有与排放腔2001连通的入口2002，冷板2006内形成有换热腔，以使冷板2006作为换热部2004。由此，排放组件2000为分层设置，便于加工制造，而且能够增大换热部2004与电池模组1000热交换的面积，同时，还能够增大换热部2004与排放腔2001的导热面积，有利于提高散热冷却效果。冷板2006还可以将排放腔2001与电池模组1000分隔，避免高温的排放物对电池模组1000造成不良的热影响。
在一些实施例中，如图10所示，电池10000还可以包括箱体3000，箱体3000内设有多个电池模组1000。也就是说，根据本申请一些实施例的电池10000，可以包括用于封装一个或多个电池模组1000的箱体3000，箱体3000可以避免液体或其他异物影响电池模组1000的正常工作。或者，根据本申请另一些实施例的电池10000，电池10000也可以不包括用于封装一个或多个电池模组1000的箱体3000，例如，直接将排放组件2000和电池模 组1000设于用电装置20000内等等。其中，多个电池模组1000之间可串联和/或并联，这里不作限制。
如图10所示，根据本申请实施例的箱体3000，限定出用于容置电池模组1000的容置腔3001，即可以将电池模组1000设置于容置腔3001内，箱体3000包括根据本申请的排放组件2000，例如，排放组件2000可以构成箱体3000的分隔梁和/或边梁。由此，根据本申请实施例的箱体3000，由于设置有排放组件2000，在热失控情况下，可以避免电池模组1000的排放物中的颗粒物中的导电颗粒四处游走而引发绝缘失效问题，提高安全性。
而且，将排放组件2000集成于箱体3000，排放组件2000在实现排气功能的同时，还能够作为箱体3000的一部分加强结构，使得箱体3000可以减少、甚至去除一些梁结构，使得采用该箱体3000的电池10000的空间利用率更高，结构更紧凑，能量密度更高。需要说明的是，排放组件2000在箱体3000的设置位置不限。
例如，如图10所示，箱体3000包括边梁和分隔梁，分隔梁位于边框围绕出的空间内，以将空间划分为多个容置腔3001，边梁和分隔梁中的至少一个构造为排放组件2000，此时电池模组1000可以位于排放组件2000的水平一侧，热失控时电池模组1000可以沿水平方向排放。此外，当在分隔梁的两侧分别设置电池模组1000，且将分隔梁构造为排放组件2000时，两侧电池模组1000可以共用排放组件2000，从而可以减少排放组件2000的数量，降低成本，提高排放效率，而且可以提高结构紧凑性，进而提高能量密度。
如图13所示，根据本申请实施例的用电装置20000，包括根据本申请任一实施例的电池10000，电池10000用于为用电装置20000提供电能。由此，可以提高用电装置20000的安全性。
需要说明的是，根据本申请实施例的用电装置20000的类型不限，例如可以是车辆、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。车辆可以是燃油汽车、燃气汽车或新能源汽车，新能源汽车可以是纯电动汽车、混合动力汽车或增程式汽车等；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。
例如，如图13所示，当电池10000用于车辆时，电池10000可以设置在车辆的底部或头部或尾部。电池10000可以用于车辆的供电，例如，电池10000可以作为车辆的操作电源。车辆还可以包括控制器和马达，控制器用来控制电池10000为马达供电，例如，用于 车辆的启动、导航和行驶时的工作用电需求。在本申请一些实施例中，电池10000不仅仅可以作为车辆的操作电源，还可以作为车辆的驱动电源，代替或部分地代替燃油或天然气为车辆提供驱动动力。
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结合。
以上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。
