下面结合附图和实施例对本申请的实施方式作进一步详细描述。以下实施例的详细描述和附图用于示例性地说明本申请的原理,但不能用来限制本申请的范围,即本申请不限于所描述的实施例。
在本申请实施例的描述中,术语“多个”指的是两个以上(包括两个),同理,“多组”指的是两组以上(包括两组),“多片”指的是两片以上(包括两片)。
本申请采用了“上”、“下”、“顶”、“底”、“前”、“后”、“内”和“外”等指示的方位或位置关系的描述,这仅是为了便于描述本申请,而不是指示或暗示所指的装置必须具有特定的方位、以特定的方位构造和操作,因此不能理解为对本申请保护范围的限制。
此外,术语“第一”、“第二”、“第三”等仅用于描述目的,而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性。“垂直”并不是严格意义上的垂直,而是在误差允许范围之内。“平行”并不是严格意义上的平行,而是在误差允许范围之内。下述描述中出现的方位词均为图中示出的方向,并不是对本申请的具体结构进行限定。
在本申请的描述中,还需要说明的是,除非另有明确的规定和限定,术语“安装”、“相连”、“连接”应做广义理解,例如,可以是固定连接,也可以是可拆卸连接,或一体地连接;可以是直接相连,也可以通过中间媒介间接相连。对于本领域的普通技术人员而言,可视具体情况理解上述术语在本申请中的具体含义。
在本文中提及“实施例”意味着,结合实施例描述的特定特征、结构或特性可以包含在本申请的至少一些实施例中。在说明书中的各个位置出现该短语并不一定均是指相同的实施例,也不是与其它实施例互斥的独立的或备选的实施例。本领域技术人员显式地和隐式地理解的是,本文所描述的实施例可以与其它实施例相结合。
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。
目前的电池单体通常包括壳体和容纳于壳体内的电极组件,并在壳体内填充电解质。电极组件主要由极性相反的第一极片和第二极片层叠或卷绕形成,并且通常在第一极片与第二极片之间设有绝缘件,例如隔膜等。第一极片和第二极片涂覆有活性物质的部分构成电极组件的主体部,第一极片和第二极片未涂覆活性物质的部分各自构成第一 极耳和第二极耳。在锂离子电池中,第一极片可以为正极极片,包括正极集流件和设于正极集流件两侧的正极活性物质层,正极集流件的材料例如可以为铝,正极活性物质例如可以为钴酸锂、磷酸铁锂、三元锂或锰酸锂等;第二极片可以为负极极片,包括负极集流件和设于负极集流件两侧的负极活性物质层,负极集流件的材料例如可以为铜,负极活性物质例如可以为石墨或硅等。可选地,第一极片也可以为负极极片,相应地第二极片为正极极片。第一极耳和第二极耳可以共同位于主体部的一端或是分别位于主体部的两端。在电池单体的充放电过程中,正极活性物质和负极活性物质与电解液发生反应,极耳连接端子以形成电流回路。
发明人通过研究发现,目前的电池单体通常设有极性相反的第一电极引出部和第二电极引出部,用于接入用电回路进行供电,第一极耳与第一电极引出部电连接,第二极耳与第二电极引出部电连接。例如,对于圆柱形电池单体,由于电池单体端部面积较小,第一电极引出部和第二电极引出部分别设在电池单体的两端,相应地,第一极耳和第二极耳分别从电极组件的两端引出。发明人在实践中发现,每一端的极耳和电极端子都会占用一定空间用于电连接,需要在电池单体的高度方向消耗更多的空间,造成电池单体整体体积增大,且会影响电池单体的整体能量密度。
为了解决上述问题,发明人欲从优化电池单体内部结构为出发点,并主要改进极耳的引出方式,以降低电池单体的高度,从而提高能量密度。
基于此种改进思路,本申请的实施例提出了一种电池单体,电池单体包括壳体,设有极性相反的第一电极引出部和第二电极引出部;电极组件,设在壳体内,电极组件包括电极主体以及从电极主体同侧引出的第一极耳和第二极耳;集流组件,设于电极组件靠近第一极耳和第二极耳的一侧,集流组件包括第一集流件和第二集流件,第一集流件将第一极耳和第一电极引出部电连接,第二集流件将第二极耳和第二电极引出部电连接。
此种电池单体将第一极耳和第二极耳从电极主体的同侧引出,将第一极耳和第二极耳从电极主体的同一端引出,只需要在电极组件的一端预留电连接空间,无需在电池单体的两端分别设置电极引出部,可有效提高电池单体的整体能量密度,在电池单体的容量一定的情况下,能够减小电池单体的体积,使电池更容易安装于高度空间有限的用电装置中;或者在电池单体的体积一定的情况下,能够提高容量,延长电池的续航能力。
本申请实施例的电池单体适用于电池以及使用这种电池单体的用电装置,电池也适用于用电装置。
本申请实施例的电池可用于用电装置。用电装置可以是电瓶车、电动汽车、轮船 或航天器等等,例如,航天器包括飞机、火箭、航天飞机和宇宙飞船等等。
如图1所示,用电装置可以是车辆300,例如新能源汽车,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;或者用电装置也可以是无人机或轮船等。具体地,车辆300可包括车桥301、连接于车桥301的车轮302、马达303、控制器304和电池200,马达303用于驱动车桥301转动,控制器304用于控制马达303工作,电池200可以设置在车辆300的底部、头部或尾部,用于为马达303以及车辆中其它部件的工作提供电能。
如图2所示,电池200包括箱体组件201和电池单体100。在电池200中,电池单体100可以是一个,也可以是多个。若电池单体100为多个,多个电池单体100之间可串联或并联或混联,混联是指多个电池单体100中既有串联又有并联,可以是多个电池单体100先串联或并联或混联组成电池模块,多个电池模块再串联或并联或混联形成一个整体,并容纳于箱体组件201内。也可以是所有电池单体100之间直接串联或并联或混联在一起,再将所有电池单体100构成的整体容纳于箱体组件201内。
其中,箱体组件201既可以是电池包的一部分,箱体组件201可拆卸地安装于用电装置;或者,箱体组件201也可以是用电装置中的结构件形成的用于容纳电池单体100的空间,例如,电池单体100用于车辆300时,箱体组件201为车架形成的用于容纳电池单体100的空间。
箱体组件201内部中空,用于容纳一个或多个电池单体100,根据所容纳电池单体100的形状、数量、组合方式以及其他要求,箱体组件201也可以具有不同形状的尺寸。例如,箱体组件201可包括:主体部201A、第一盖体201B和第二盖体201C,主体部201A相对的两端均具有开口,第一盖体201B和第二盖体201C分别用于封闭主体部201A的两端开口,图2中根据多个电池单体100的排列方式,主体部201A呈矩形筒状结构。
图3为电池单体100的一些实施例的外形示意图。电池单体100包括壳体10,壳体10可包括容纳部1和端盖组件2,容纳部1具有开口,端盖组件2封闭开口,并与容纳部1连接形成壳体10。端盖组件2包括端盖本体21和第一电极引出部22,第一电极引出部22设在端盖本体21上。图3中示意出了圆柱形电池单体100,后续实施例也主要也圆柱形电池单体100为例进行说明,当然本申请的电池单体100也可以是扁平体、长方体或其它形状等。
如图4为电池单体100的第一实施例的分解图,图5为电池单体100的纵向剖视图。在一些实施例中,电池单体100包括:壳体10、电极组件3和集流组件4。其中,壳 体10设有极性相反的第一电极引出部22和第二电极引出部;电极组件3,设在壳体10内,电极组件3包括电极主体31以及从电极主体31同侧引出的第一极耳32和第二极耳33;集流组件4,设于电极主体31靠近第一极耳32和第二极耳33的一侧,集流组件4包括第一集流件42和第二集流件43,第一集流件42将第一极耳32和第一电极引出部22电连接,第二集流件43将第二极耳33和第二电极引出部电连接。
其中,壳体10为中空结构,用于容纳电极组件3,壳体10内填充电解液。第一电极引出部22和第二电极引出部用于输入或输出电能,第一极耳32通过第一集流件42与第一电极引出部22电连接,第二极耳33通过第二集流件43与第二电极引出部电连接。
可选地,第一电极引出部22和第二电极引出部均可以为电极端子。电极端子可设计为极柱,极柱可呈圆柱形、方形柱状结构,或者也可呈其它形状的柱体结构。第一电极引出部22和第二电极引出部均与壳体10绝缘。例如,第一电极引出部22为正极端子,第二电极引出部为负极端子;或者第一电极引出部22为负极端子,第二电极引出部为正极端子。例如,第一电极引出部22和/或第二电极引出部的至少部分凸出于壳体10的外壁,以便于通过汇流件实现不同电池单体100之间的电连接。
可选地,第一电极引出部22为电极端子,第二电极引出部为壳体10的端盖本体21,端盖本体21上可设置第二通孔211,电极端子安装于第二通孔211。可选地,第一电极引出部22用于引出电极组件3的正极电能,第二电极引出部用于引出电极组件3的负极电能;或者第一电极引出部22用于引出电极组件3的负极电能,第二电极引出部用于引出电极组件3的正极电能。
电极组件3包括极性相反的第一极片和第二极片,第一极片和第二极片可绕卷绕轴线K卷绕形成。对于圆柱形电池单体100,电极组件3呈圆柱形;对于方形电池单体100,电极组件3呈扁平状。第一极耳32和第二极耳33位于电极组件3沿卷绕轴线K的同一端,且靠近第一电极引出部22和第二电极引出部中的电极端子设置。可选地,第一极耳32为正极极耳,第二极耳33为负极极耳;第一极耳32为负极极耳,第二极耳33为正极极耳。
集流组件4设在极耳与壳体10朝向极耳的壁之间,用于实现同极性的极耳与电极引出部之间的电连接。第一集流件42和第二集流件43可采用导电材料,例如金属材料,正极集流件可采用铝材料,负极集流件可采用铜材料,集流件与相应的极耳采用同种材料便于焊接,减少焊接裂纹。
该实施例将第一极耳32和第二极耳33从电极主体31的同一端引出,只需要在电极组件3的一端预留电连接空间,无需在电池单体100的两端分别设置电极引出部,可有 效提高电池单体100的整体能量密度,在电池单体100的容量一定的情况下,能够减小电池单体100的体积,使电池200更容易安装于高度空间有限的用电装置中;或者在电池单体100的体积一定的情况下,能够提高容量,延长电池200的续航能力。
在一些实施例中,第一集流件42的至少部分抵接于第一极耳32背离述电极主体31的表面,第二集流件43的至少部分抵接于第二极耳33背离述电极主体31的表面。
其中,第一极耳32背离述电极主体31的表面为多层第一极耳部的外端共同形成的表面,为了提高第一集流件42与第一极耳32之间的电连接可靠性,可对第一极耳32的外端进行揉平以增加接触面积。第二极耳33背离述电极主体31的表面为多层第二极耳部的外端共同形成的表面,为了提高第二集流件43与第二极耳33之间的电连接可靠性,可对第二极耳33的外端进行揉平以增加接触面积。
该实施例利于使第一集流件42与第一极耳32中的各层第一极耳部电连接,且第二集流件43与第二极耳33中的各层第二极耳部电连接提高集流件与相应极耳电连接的可靠性,并提高过流能力。
在一些实施例中,如图4和图5所示,壳体10包括容纳部1和端盖组件2,容纳部1具有开口111,端盖组件2封闭开口111,且端盖组件2包括端盖本体21和绝缘设置于端盖本体21的第一电极引出部22,且端盖本体21作为第二电极引出部;其中,第二集流件43与端盖本体21电连接。
其中,端盖本体21上设有第二通孔211,第一电极引出部22设在第二通孔211内,第一电极引出部22可设在端盖本体21的中心区域,或者也可偏离端盖本体21的中心设置。为了实现第一电极引出部22与端盖本体21的绝缘,端盖组件2还包括:密封件24和第二绝缘件25,密封件24和第二绝缘件25共同包围第二通孔211的内壁以及端盖本体21上邻接第二通孔211的区域。
例如,密封件24可采用橡胶材料,第二绝缘件25可采用塑胶材料。
例如,密封件24和第二绝缘件25均呈环形,其横截面均为L形。如图6所示,密封件24的横部与端盖本体21的内壁贴合,竖部伸入第二通孔211,并与第二通孔211的侧壁贴合;第二绝缘件25的横部与端盖本体21的外壁贴合,竖部伸入第二通孔211,并与第二通孔211的侧壁贴合,密封件24和第二绝缘件25各自的竖部相互抵接。例如,密封件24和第二绝缘件25均呈圆环形。
端盖本体21采用金属材料制成,将其作为第二电极引出部,可省去一个电极端子。例如,容纳部1的开口111处与端盖本体21的外边缘可采用焊接固定,由于第一电极引出部22与端盖本体21之间绝缘,也就实现了第一电极引出部22与第二电极引出部 的绝缘。较优地,第一电极引出部22为正极,第二电极引出部为负极,因为电极端子一般采用铝材料制成,若其对应的第一集流件42也采用铝材料,就可实现同种材料的焊接,无需将电极端子设计为铜铝组合的结构,可简化电极端子的结构,并降低成本。可选地,第一电极引出部22为负极,第二电极部为正极。
该实施例中的第一电极引出部22为电极端子,第二电极引出部为端盖本体21,可省去一个电极端子,能够简化电池单体100的结构,降低装配难度,节约成本。由于端盖本体21上只需设置一个电极端子,有利于增加电极端子横截面积以增加过流能力,且可在端盖本体21上省出更多的空间走线或布置采温部件等。而且,容纳部1具有较大的表面积,可提高过流能力,也便于与第二集流件43焊接。此外,将端盖本体21作为第二电极引出部,与容纳部1的侧壁11作为第二引出部相比,可避免汇流件占用相邻电池单体100之间的空间,利于减小相邻电池单体100之间的间距,可使电池200中多个电池单体100的布局更紧凑,从而提高电池200的能量密度。
在一些实施例中,如图9所示,集流组件4还包括绝缘基体41,所述第一集流件42和所述第二集流件43连接于所述绝缘基体41,且通过所述绝缘基体41彼此绝缘。
其中,绝缘基体41、第一集流件42和第二集流件43集成为一体结构,绝缘基体41不仅作为第一集流件42和第二集流件43的固定基体,而且使第一集流件42和第二集流件43之间可靠绝缘。可选地,绝缘基体41可采用绝缘材料制成,例如塑胶材料等。
该实施例中的集流组件4采用整体式结构,简化了电池单体100内部的电连接结构,可进一步节约电池单体100的内部空间,降低重量,且节省零部件的生产成本;第一集流件42和第二集流件43通过绝缘基体41承载,可提高整体刚性,不容易发生变形,安装稳定,从而,提高电连接可靠性。而且,此种设计还可降低装配难度,无需将第一集流件42、第二集流件43和绝缘基体41分别安装,对横截面尺寸较小的电池单体100有更加明显的优势,可提高装配效率。另外,第一集流件42和第二集流件43通过与之集成为一体的绝缘基体41实现彼此绝缘,可提高绝缘可靠性,减少由于装配误差或振动影响绝缘性能,从而提高电池单体100工作的可靠性和安全性。
在一些实施例中,绝缘基体41与第一集流件42和第二集流件43一体注塑成型。
例如,绝缘基体41可采用塑胶材质,不限于PE(聚乙烯)、LCP(液晶高分子聚合物)等热塑性和绝缘性较好的材质。在注塑时,可将第一集流件42和第二集流件43放在注塑模具中,倒入注塑液体,待液体凝固后形成绝缘基体41。
该实施例通过一体注塑成型的方式可降低集流组件4中各部件的加工和装配难度,从而提高电池单体100的生产效率,而且便于在第一集流件42和第二集流件43与绝缘基 体41之间设置凹凸配合结构,以增加与绝缘基体41的结合强度,从而提高第一集流件42和第二集流件43设置于绝缘基体41的牢固性。
在一些实施例中,如图10所示,绝缘基体41包括第一绝缘部411,第一绝缘部411具有第一开口413和第二开口414,第一集流件42的至少部分容纳于第一开口413,第二集流件43的至少部分容纳于第二开口414;第一绝缘部411的部分位于第一开口413与第二开口414之间,并用于隔开第一集流件42和第二集流件43。
其中,第一开口413和第二开口414贯通绝缘基体41。
该实施例通过将第一集流件42的至少部分容纳于第一开口413内,并将第二集流件43的至少部分容纳于第二开口414内,可使集流件更好地与绝缘基体41连接,实现可靠固定,且能减小电池单体100在高度方向上的尺寸,从而减小电池单体100的体积,提高能量密度。而且,第一绝缘部411的部分位于第一开口413和第二开口414之间,能够对第一集流件42和第二集流件43起到绝缘作用,提高绝缘可靠性。
在一些实施例中,如图10所示,第一开口413内侧壁上设有第二凹槽415,第一集流件42与第一开口413配合的外侧壁上设有凸起423,凸起423嵌入第二凹槽415内,以使第一集流件42与绝缘基体41结合;和/或第二开口414内侧壁上设有第二凹槽415,第二集流件43与第二开口414配合的外侧壁上设有凸起423,凸起423嵌入第二凹槽415内,以使第二集流件43与绝缘基体41结合。
其中,如图11A、11B、12A和12B所示,第一集流件42与第一开口413配合的部分为第一部421,第一部421可呈扇形结构,其外圆弧壁和两个侧壁的至少一个上可设置凸起423,凸起423的厚度可与第一部421一致,或者考虑到绝缘基体41的厚度较薄,为了在设置第二凹槽415后仍保证绝缘基体41的强度,也可使凸起423的厚度小于第一部421的厚度。设在第一部421的侧壁上的凸起423可以为矩形,凸起423的长度可小于侧壁的长度;设在第一部421的外圆弧壁上的凸起423可以为圆弧形,凸起423的长度可小于外圆弧壁的长度。第二凹槽415的形状和尺寸与凸起423适配。
如图13A和图13B,第二集流件43与第二开口414配合的部分为第三部431,第三部431可呈扇形结构,其两个侧壁的至少一个上可设置凸起423,凸起423的厚度可与第三部431一致,或者考虑到绝缘基体41的厚度较薄,为了在设置第二凹槽415后仍保证绝缘基体41的强度,也可使凸起423的厚度小于第三部431的厚度。
可选地,绝缘基体41、第一集流件42和第二集流件43通过注塑成型,第二凹槽415是在注塑过程中自然形成的。
该实施例通过在集流件上设置凸起423,在使绝缘基体41、第一集流件42和第 二集流件43通过注塑成型时,可增加集流件与绝缘基体41的结合力,使第一集流件42和第二集流件43与绝缘基体41的固定更加牢固,不仅能提高电连接可靠性,还能保证第一集流件42和第二集流件43之间的绝缘性。
在一些实施例中,如图14所示,凸起423上设有第一通孔424,绝缘基体41上设有限位柱416,限位柱416嵌入第一通孔424。
其中,第一通孔424可设置多个。可选地,绝缘基体41、第一集流件42和第二集流件43通过注塑成型,在注塑过程中,注塑液体会流入第一通孔424以形成限位柱416。
该实施例通过在凸起423上设有第一通孔424,在使绝缘基体41、第一集流件42和第二集流件43通过注塑成型时,可进一步增加集流件与绝缘基体41的结合力,使第一集流件42和第二集流件43与绝缘基体41的固定更加牢固。
在一些实施例中,如图7所示,电池单体100还包括:绝缘片6,设在第二集流件43与第一电极引出部22之间,以实现第二集流件43与第一电极引出部22的绝缘。
其中,为了使第一电极引出部22设在端盖本体21靠近中心的区域,第一电极引出部22与第二集流件43在容纳部1的横截面内的投影会具有重叠区域,容易导致第一电极引出部22与第二集流件43之间发生短路,为了提高绝缘可靠性,绝缘片6至少覆盖第二集流件43与第一电极引出部22正对的区域,为了进一步提高绝缘可靠性,绝缘片6可覆盖第二集流件43与第二极耳33连接的整个区域。
例如,第二极耳33的端面呈扇形,第二集流件43与第二极耳33电连接的部分呈扇形且覆盖整个第二极耳33,相应地,绝缘片6也呈扇形且覆盖第二集流件43与第二极耳33连接的整个区域。
例如,绝缘片6可采用PET等绝缘材料制成。
该实施例采用绝缘片6将极性相反的第二集流件43和第一电极引出部22隔开,可保证绝缘性能,防止发生短路,从而提高电池单体100工作的可靠性和安全性。
在一些实施例中,如图8所示,电池单体100还包括:间隔片5,设在第一集流件42与第一电极引出部22之间,间隔片5与绝缘片6各自朝向端盖组件2的表面平齐,且不低于第一绝缘部411的表面。
其中,间隔片5与绝缘片6相互平齐,可形成用于支撑端盖组件2的支撑平面,使端盖组件2与集流组件4之间均衡接触,防止端盖组件2与集流组件4之间在单侧出现悬空。具体地,端盖组件2还包括第一绝缘件23,设在端盖本体21与集流组件4之间,例如,第一绝缘件23可以为塑胶件,间隔片5与绝缘片6用于支撑第一绝缘件23,使第 一绝缘件23与集流组件4之间均衡接触。
较优地,间隔片5与绝缘片6各自朝向端盖组件2的表面与第一绝缘部411的表面平齐,间隔片5的厚度为第一绝缘部411的厚度减去第一集流件42的厚度,绝缘片6的厚度为第一绝缘部411的厚度减去第二集流件43的厚度,有利于使绝缘基体41、间隔片5和绝缘片6共同形成整体平面,以对端盖组件2提供更加稳定的支撑,而且也不会额外占用高度空间。
可选地,间隔片5与绝缘片6各自朝向端盖组件2的表面超出第一绝缘部411的表面,此种方式有利于增加集流件的厚度,在焊接时不容易穿透,且能提高过流能力,而且还有利于可靠地覆盖对应的集流件,降低外边缘的尺寸精度要求。此种结构中,间隔片5和绝缘片6与端盖组件2接触,第一绝缘部411与端盖组件2之间具有间隙。
可选地,间隔片5与绝缘片6各自朝向端盖组件2的表面低于第一绝缘部411的表面。此种结构中,第一绝缘部411与端盖组件2接触,间隔片5和绝缘片6与端盖组件2之间具有间隙。
例如,第一极耳32的端面呈扇形,第一集流件42与第一极耳32电连接的部分呈扇形且覆盖整个第一极耳32,相应地,间隔片5也呈扇形且覆盖第一集流件42与第一极耳32连接的整个区域。间隔片5与绝缘片6可设置为相同的形状,可减少零件的种类,并提高装配的便捷性。
间隔片5与绝缘片6可采用相同的材料,例如采用PET等绝缘材料制成。可选地,间隔片5也可采用导电材料制成。
该实施例设置间隔片5,并使间隔片5与绝缘片6相互平齐,可使端盖组件2与集流组件4之间均衡接触,有利于提高整体结构刚度,并使集流组件4受力均匀,能够防止集流组件4在受到振动或冲击时发生位置错动或变形,保证电连接稳定性,从而提高电池单体100工作的可靠性和安全性。
在一些实施例中,如图4所示,第一集流件42靠近容纳部1的边缘被绝缘基体41包围。
由于第一集流件42与容纳部1的极性不同,为了防止第一集流件42与容纳部1之间发生短路,第一集流件42与容纳部1的侧壁之间设有绝缘基体41,以将第一集流件42与容纳部1之间隔开。例如,电池单体100呈圆柱形,第一极耳32的端面呈扇形,第一集流件42与第一极耳32连接的部分也呈扇形,绝缘基体41与第一集流件42对应的外轮廓为圆弧段,绝缘基体41的圆弧段的半径大于第一集流件42的圆弧段的半径,使得第一集流件42的径向外缘被绝缘基体41包围。
该实施例通过绝缘基体41将第一集流件42靠近容纳部1的边缘包围,能够保证第一集流件42与容纳部1之间可靠绝缘,即使在电池单体100受到振动或冲击时,第一集流件42与容纳部1也无法直接接触,可防止不同极性的第一集流件42与容纳部1发生短路,从而提高电池单体100工作的可靠性和安全性。
在一些实施例中,如图6和图8所示,端盖组件2还包括第一绝缘件23,第一绝缘件23设在端盖本体21与集流组件4之间,第一绝缘件23最靠近电极组件3的端面和第一电极引出部22最靠近电极组件3的端面齐平。
其中,第一绝缘件23可采用塑胶材料,对于圆柱形电池单体100,第一绝缘件23为圆环状结构。较优地,第一绝缘件23靠近集流组件4的表面上设有第四凹槽231,第三段223位于第四凹槽231内,以使第一绝缘件23和第一电极引出部22各自朝向电极组件3的端面齐平,集流组件4可同时对第一绝缘件23和第一电极引出部22提供支撑。
可选地,在从端盖本体21至电极组件3的方向上,第一绝缘件23最靠近电极组件3的端面超出第一电极引出部22最靠近电极组件3的端面,此种结构既能保证对第一电极引出部22提供稳定的支撑,防止在受到振动或冲击的情况下造成第一电极引出部22与第一集流件42脱开,提高电连接的可靠性;而且还可避免由于第一绝缘件23凸出造成第一电极引出部22。
该实施例可通过集流组件4同时对第一绝缘件23和第一电极引出部22提供支撑,提高整体结构的稳固性,保持第一电极引出部22位置稳定,并减少集流组件4的变形量,由此可提高电池单体100内部电连接的可靠性。

在一些实施例中,第一电极引出部22设在端盖本体21的中心区域,第二绝缘部412设在第一绝缘部411的中心区域。
该实施例将第一电极引出部22设在端盖本体21的中心区域,利于增大第一电极引出部22的横截面积,不仅方便实现电连接,也能提高过流能力;而且,便于通过汇流件连接一个电池单体100的第一电极引出部22和相邻电池单体100的第二电极引出部,利于增大汇流件的宽度,提高过流能力。

其中,第二绝缘部412朝向电极组件3的表面可与第一绝缘部411齐平,第二绝缘部412朝向第一集流件42的表面高于第一绝缘部411,相应地,第二部422也相对于第一部421朝向第一电极引出部22凸出。例如,第一部421和第二部422可通过一体式的薄板结构冲压形成。
第一集流件42可通过弯折或冲压的方式形成。第一集流件42可包括第一部421、第二部422和连接部426,连接部426连接于第一部421和第二部422之间,以实现第一部421和第二部422的高度差。可选地,第二部422与第一部421也可形成平板结构。
该实施例考虑到在第一电极引出部22与第二集流件43具有重叠区域的情况下, 为了实现第二部422与第一电极引出部22电连接,第二部422与第二集流件43距离较近,容易发生短路,通过使第二绝缘部412相对于第一绝缘部411朝向第一电极引出部22凸出,可使第二部422在高度方向上与第二集流件43与第二极耳33连接的部分错开,以防止第二部422与第二集流件43之间发生短路,提高绝缘可靠性。
在一些实施例中,如图6、图8和10所示的第一实施例,第一电极引出部22的内端面设有第一凹槽224,第二部422的至少部分位于第一凹槽224内。
可选地,凸出部分可全部位于第一凹槽224内,此种结构不仅能够最大限度地降低电池单体100的高度,还可通过集流组件4对端盖组件2提供稳定的支撑。可选地,凸出部分也可部分位于第一凹槽224内。第一凹槽224的直径f不小于第二部422的最大直径,以防止出现干涉。
具体地,如图6所示,端盖组件2可包括端盖本体21、第一电极引出部22、第一绝缘件23、密封件24和第二绝缘件25。
其中,第一电极引出部22包括第一段221、第二段222和第三段223,第二段222和第三段223分别连接于第一段221的两端,第二段222设在第二通孔211内,第二段222位于端盖本体21的外侧,第二段222与端盖本体21之间可设置第二绝缘件25,第三段223位于端盖本体21的内侧,第三段223与端盖本体21之间可设置密封件24,密封件24位于环形的第一绝缘件23内。第二段222和第三段223的直径均大于第一段221的直径。例如,第三段223的直径大于第二段222,以使第三段223可同时支撑第一绝缘件23和密封件24。第一绝缘件23靠近集流组件4的表面上设有第四凹槽231,第三段223位于第四凹槽231内。
第一电极引出部22的内表面设有第一凹槽224,第一电极引出部22的外表面设有第二凹槽225,第二凹槽225的底面设有第三凹槽226,由此,可减小第一电极引出部22的焊接厚度,可提高第一电极引出部22与第一集流件42之间电连接的可靠性。第三凹槽226的底面设有注液孔227,用于注入电解液。
该实施例在第一电极引出部22的内端面设有第一凹槽224,并使第二部422的至少部分位于第一凹槽224内,可减小集流组件4的占用高度,从而减低电池单体100的高度。而且,此种结构可通过集流组件4同时对第一绝缘件23和第一电极引出部22提供支撑,提高整体结构的稳固性,保持第一电极引出部22位置稳定,从而提高电池单体100内部电连接的可靠性。
在一些实施例中,如图18所示,端盖组件2还包括第一绝缘件23,第一绝缘件23设在端盖本体21与集流组件4之间,第一绝缘件23覆盖第一电极引出部22内端面的 径向外侧区域,且与第一电极引出部22的内端面形成第一凹槽224,第二部422的至少部分位于第一凹槽224内。

该实施例无需在第一电极引出部22的内端面加工第一凹槽224,可降低第一电极引出部22的加工难度,而且集流组件4仅需对第一绝缘件23提供支撑,无需考虑第一绝缘件23最靠近电极组件3的端面与第一电极引出部22最靠近电极组件3的端面之间的对齐问题,可降低对零部件加工精度的要求。
在一些实施例中,如图6所示,第一凹槽224的深度c不超过第二部422相对于第一部421的凸起高度。由此,部分第二部422位于第一凹槽224内。

该实施例使第二绝缘部412的侧壁超出第二部422的外侧壁,能够将第二部422与第二集流件43隔开,避免第二部422与第二集流件43接触,可保证绝缘可靠性,从而提高电池单体100工作的可靠性和安全性。
在一些实施例中,如图12A和图12B所示,第一部421远离第二部422的至少一个角部设有第一缺口425,被配置为与注塑模具中的第一定位部配合实现第一集流件42的定位。

该实施例能够在通过注塑形成集流组件4时,通过第一缺口425对第一集流件42进行定位,以提高第一集流件42的位置精度;而且,由于第一集流件42的内边缘处周向尺寸较小,为过流面积瓶颈区域,将第一缺口425设在第一部421远离第二部422的角部,不影响第一集流件42的过流能力。
在一些实施例中,如图13A和图13B,绝缘基体41包括第一绝缘部411,第一绝缘部411具有第二开口414,第二集流件43包括:第三部431,与第二开口414配合,且与第二极耳33电连接;和第四部432,至少部分连接于第三部431靠近容纳部1的边缘,且第四部432与端盖本体21电连接。

在一些实施例中,第三部431远离第四部432的至少一个角部设有第二缺口433,被配置为与注塑模具中的第二定位部配合实现第二集流件43的定位。
其中,若第二集流件43与绝缘基体41通过注塑形成一体,第二集流件43放置于注塑模具中时,为了对第二集流件43进行定位防止位置错动,第二集流件43的角部设有第二缺口433,注塑模具的底面设有第二定位部,第二定位部与第二缺口433配合,在注塑完成绝缘基体41固化后,可将集流组件4从注塑模具中取出,这样在第二缺口433处形成孔。为了提高定位可靠性,第三部431远离第四部432的两个角部分别一个第二缺口433。例如,第二缺口433可以为矩形、弧形等形状。例如,第二缺口433为0.5mm*0.6mm的矩形。
该实施例能够在通过注塑形成集流组件4时,通过第二缺口433对第二集流件43进行定位,以提高第二集流件43的位置精度;而且,由于第二集流件43的外边缘设有弯折的第四部432,将第二缺口433设在第三部431远离第四部432的角部,方便第二缺口433的加工,也方便对第二集流件43进行定位。
在一些实施例中,如图10所示,第四部432在容纳部1周向上的延伸长度不超出第三部431靠近容纳部1的边缘。
其中,第四部432的延伸长度可与第三部431靠近容纳部1的边缘长度相等,此种结构可直接将薄板结构的外边缘弯折形成第四部432,加工简单,在此基础上还能最大限度地增加电连接长度,提高电连接可靠性和过流能力。或者,第四部432的延伸长度也可小于第三部431靠近容纳部1的边缘长度。可选地,第四部432也可通过焊接等方式与 第三部431连接。
该实施例能够降低第二集流件43的加工难度,可直接通过薄板结构弯折成型,从而提高第二集流件43的整体结构强度,并提高第三部431和第四部432之间的连接可靠性。
在一些实施例中,如图15至图17所示,第四部432沿容纳部1的整个周向延伸。

该实施例使第四部432沿容纳部1的整个周向延伸,能够增加第四部432与端盖本体21直接或间接电连接的长度,可提高连接可靠性,并增加过流能力。
在一些实施例中,第四部432与第三部431成角度设置。
其中,第四部432相对于第三部431朝向端盖本体21或者电极组件3弯折,第四部432与容纳部1的侧壁11或端盖本体21电连接,例如可通过焊接等方式实现电连接。其中,第四部432相对于第三部431之间的夹角可以为锐角、直角或钝角。
该实施例使第四部432与第三部431成角度设置,可增加第四部432与容纳部1的侧壁11或端盖本体21电连接的面积,便于通过焊接实现电连接,还可提高电连接可靠性。
在一些实施例中,第四部432朝向靠近端盖组件2的方向延伸。
该实施例使第四部432朝向远离电极组件3的方向延伸,可防止第四部432在振动或冲击情况下插入电极组件3的极片之间造成活性物质脱落,还可防止第四部432与极性相反的极片接触而发生短路,提高绝缘可靠性;而且,第四部432更靠近容纳部1的开口111,更方便从开口111处将第四部432焊接于容纳部1的侧壁,可提高焊接质量。

其中,第一绝缘件23可以只在第四部432对应的区域与容纳部1之间具有第一间隙L1,以供第四部432伸入,或者为了加工装配方便,第一绝缘件23在整个周向上与容纳部1之间均具有一致的第一间隙L1。第四部432与端盖本体21之间具有预设间隔,以使端盖组件2能够在容纳部1的开口111处安装到位。
该实施例使第四部432位于第一绝缘件23与容纳部1之间的第一间隙L1内,可 与第一绝缘件23共用空间,第四部432的内侧通过第一绝缘件23进行绝缘;而且,可防止第四部432在振动或冲击情况下插入电极组件3的极片之间造成活性物质脱落,还可防止第四部432与极性相反的极片接触而发生短路,提高绝缘可靠性;此外,第四部432更靠近容纳部1的开口111,更方便从开口111处将第四部432焊接于容纳部1的侧壁11,在采用焊接时,可从容纳部1内侧焊接第四部432与侧壁11,可提高焊接质量,或者便于直接将第四部432与端盖本体21电连接。

在一些实施例中,如图7所示,容纳部1具有侧壁11,第二集流件43通过侧壁11与端盖本体21电连接。

而且,可实现从容纳部1内侧焊接第二集流件43和侧壁11,一方面,此种方式容易观察到焊接的情况,可提高焊接可靠性,若出现第四部432与容纳部1的侧壁虚接触的情况下可及时调整,也不会受到容纳部1外表面的镀层对焊接的影响,可保证焊接质量;而且,此种焊接方式不会破坏容纳部1外的镀层,可保证电池单体100的抗腐蚀性能。另一方面,在第二集流件43为负极集流件时,负极集流件采用铜材料,容纳部1采用钢材料,即使不同种材料由于热膨胀系数和导热率的差别,在激光焊接时在焊缝区域和热影响区出现微裂纹,微裂纹也位于容纳部1的内壁面,电池单体100也长期时候后也不会造成电解液渗透,而且容纳部1在裂纹处也不会发生腐蚀。
在一些实施例中,如图18和图19,端盖本体21具有弯折部212,弯折部212朝向端盖本体21内侧凸出,且靠近容纳部1设置,第二集流件43与弯折部212电连接。

第四部432可沿容纳部1的整个周向延伸,相应地,弯折部212也沿端盖本体21的整个周向延伸,既能第四部432与弯折部212的电连接长度,提高电连接可靠性,并增加过流能力。而且,可增加端盖本体21的强度,使端盖本体21在整个周向上强度均匀。
该实施例将第二集流件43通过弯折部212与端盖本体21电连接,可增加第二集流件43与端盖本体21的接触面积,例如在采用焊接实现电连接时,既能提高连接可靠性,又能增加接触面积。而且,此种结构也适用于容纳部1与端盖本体21之间绝缘的情况,或者在端盖本体21与容纳部1之间出现焊缝脱落的情况下,第二集流件43也能可靠地将电能输出至端盖本体21。此外还可解决容纳部1和端盖本体21较薄影响过流能力的问题。
在一些实施例中,如图18和图19,弯折部212与容纳部1之间具有第二间隙L2,第二集流件43的外端位于第二间隙L2内。
其中,以圆柱形电池单体100为例,端盖组件2包括端盖本体21和第一绝缘件23,第一绝缘件23设在端盖本体21与集流组件4之间。弯折部212的径向内侧壁与第一绝缘件23的外壁贴合,第二集流件43的第四部432与弯折部212的径向外侧壁贴合,第四部432位于第二间隙L2内,第二间隙L2小于第一间隙L1。第四部432与侧壁11可接触,也可保持间隙。弯折部212的底部与第二集流件43的第三部431之间可保持第三间隙H,以免弯折部212与第三部431之间发生干涉。
该实施例将第二集流件43与弯折部212朝向容纳部1的侧壁接触,方便通过焊接实现电连接,而且也利于增大第二集流件43与弯折部212之间电连接的面积,提高电连接可靠性,并保持第二集流件43位置稳定。
在一些实施例中,第一极耳32和第二极耳33沿电极组件3的周向间隔设置。

对于圆柱形电池单体100,第一极耳32和第二极耳33可设计为扇形或矩形,可根据第一极耳32和第二极耳33的形状设计第一开口413和第二开口414的形状。

例如,第一极耳32和第二极耳33中的至少一个可呈扇形。
该实施例可使第一极耳32中每组相邻层第一极耳部间距均匀分布,或使第二极耳33中每组相邻层第二极耳部间距均匀分布;而且,通过增加外层区域极耳沿卷绕方向的宽度,能够增加极耳与集流件连接时的有效接触面积,可增加过流能力,从而提高电池单体100的性能。
可选地,电极组件3呈卷绕结构,第一极耳32和第二极耳33中的至少一个沿卷绕结构的径向从中心向外侧宽度一致。例如,第一极耳32和第二极耳33中的至少一个呈矩形。此种结构能够降低模切极耳的难度,易于保证极耳部的尺寸,在卷绕时易于保证多层极耳部的对齐程度,从而降低制备电极组件3的工艺难度。
在一些实施例中,绝缘基体41朝向电极主体31的表面具有第三绝缘部,第三绝缘部位于第一极耳32与第二极耳33之间。
其中,第三绝缘部可在电极组件3的周向上位于第一极耳32和第二极耳33之间,或者在不遮挡电极主体31的中心孔311的前提下,第三绝缘部也可在电极组件3的径向上位于第一极耳32和第二极耳33之间,既能提高绝缘效果,又能在电池单体100发生热失控的情况下,使内部的气体和高温物质可顺利地沿着中心孔311到达壳体10上的泄压部件。
