电极组件23是电池单体100中发生电化学反应的部件。壳体22内可以包含一个或更多个电极组件23。电极组件23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膜。正极片和负极片具有活性物质的部分构成电芯组件的主体部,正极片和负极片不具有活性物质的部分各自构成极耳23a。正极极耳和负极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23a连接电极端子以形成电流回路。
根据本申请的一些实施例,参照图4,端盖21具有用于安装密封件40的安装面,端盖21上开设有注液孔32,为了方便对注液孔32进行密封,在端盖21的安装面上凹设有容纳槽33,注液孔32开设于容纳槽33的槽底,以使注液孔32的一端连通容纳槽33,另一端贯通至端盖21的内表面。在安装时,将胶钉31插入注液孔32内,以对注液孔32进行密封。密封件40位于容纳槽33内,容纳槽33可以用于限制密封件40的径向移动,将密封件40与端盖21焊接在一起。
现有的密封件40的大体轮廓一般呈台锥状,如图4所示,在平行于密封件40的轴向的截面中,胶钉31的上端与密封件40的底面相配合容纳槽33的侧壁为斜面,密封件40的外环壁与容纳槽33的侧壁相配合,并且密封件40的外环壁远离胶钉31的一端贴近容纳槽33的内壁,以使密封件40可以用于填满容纳槽33;密封件40的顶面与端盖21的顶面平齐,或者使密封件40的顶面略高于端盖21的顶面。将密封件40与端盖21的圆形接合处进行焊接,以使密封件40被焊接固定在端盖21上。
以采用激光焊接装置作为焊接组件为例,当采用焊接组件进行焊接时,焊接组件向密封件40和端盖21的接合处发出高能激光,在激光作用下,密封件40和端盖21的接合处形成的具有一定形状的液态金属部分,该液态金属部分称为焊接溶池。焊接过程中,随着焊接组件的移动,熔池尾部金属冷却并结晶形成焊缝。
现有的密封件40采用脉冲激光器进行焊接时,由于脉冲激光器的焊接速度低,从而限制了电池产能,并且由于脉冲激光的节拍低,焊接设备较多,从而导致熔深一致性较差。
现有的密封件40采用连续激光器进行焊接时。连续激光器沿着预设轨迹运动过程中,焊接熔池存在大量的热量,残留在注液孔32的电解液在高能激光束的高热作用下分解出气体;当密封件40焊接完成之后,密封件40与容纳槽33的内壁面之间形成密封的容腔,气体残留在密封件40与容纳槽33之间的密封容腔内,导致密封容腔内的气压过高;高压气体容易在焊缝的首尾处形成气孔,由于气孔连通密封容腔,导致容纳槽33无法完全密 闭,进而导致端盖21存在产品缺陷,产品的焊接良率无法满足要求。
本申请针对现有的密封件焊接过程中焊接速度低和低优率的问题,提出了一种电池单体,请参照图4和图5,本示例中,电池单体20包括:端盖21,端盖21包括注液孔32;密封件40,密封件40密封连接于注液孔32,其中,密封件40与端盖21之间形成有第一焊接段50和第二焊接段60,至少部分第一焊接段50与至少部分第二焊接段60共同围合形成环绕密封件40的环形焊缝,第一焊接段50由连续激光形成,第二焊接段60由脉冲激光形成。

根据本申请的一些实施例,可选地,请参照图6,第二焊接段60包括依次相连的头部61、中部62和尾部,中部62与第一焊接段50连接形成环形焊缝。
本实施例中,按照第二焊接段60的形成时间的先后将第二焊接段60划分为依次相连的头部61、中部62和尾部63。
由于焊接时头部61和尾部63激光不稳定,中部62激光稳定,因此,通过设置第二焊接段60的中部62与第一焊接段50连接形成环形焊缝,可以提高焊接优率。
根据本申请的一些实施例,可选地,请参照图6,头部61和尾部63的长度相等,从而能够对称设置头部61和尾部63,美化环形焊缝。
根据本申请的一些实施例,可选地,请参照图7,头部61和/或尾部63与第一焊接段50部分重合。
具体地,重合角度可以基于第一焊接段50对应的第一焊接角度θ
1和第二焊接段60对应的第二焊接角度θ
2确定,例如,第一焊接段50对应的第一焊接角度θ
1为340°,第二焊接段60对应的第二焊接角度θ
2为40°时,重合角度=340°+40°-360°=20°。
第一焊接角度θ
1可以为[270°,340°]中的任一值,第二焊接角度θ
2可以为[40°,90°]中的任一值,为了实现至少部分第一焊接段50与至少部分第二焊接段60共同围合形成密封件40的环形焊缝的同时,保证密封件40的密封性,第一焊接段50与第二焊接段60要有10°及以上重叠。因此,第一焊接角度θ
1与第二焊接角度θ
2之和不小于370°。
通过设置第二焊接段60的头部61和/或尾部63与第一焊接段50的部分重合,从而能够提高密封件40的密封性。
根据本申请的一些实施例,可选地,请参照图6,中部62尺寸不小于1mm。

根据本申请的一些实施例,可选地,请参照图5,环形焊缝中的第一焊接段50的长度大于环形焊缝中的第二焊接段60的长度。
通过设置第一焊接段50的长度大于第二焊接段60的长度,从而能够确保以连续激光焊接为主要焊接方式,以脉冲激光焊接为次要焊接方式,由于连续激光焊接速率较快,从而能够提高密封件40的焊接速率。
根据本申请的一些实施例,可选地,请参照图5,第一焊接段50的焊点之间的间距与第二焊接段60的焊点之间的间距相等。
连续激光可以是调制连续激光,其中,调制连续激光可以调制为脉冲模式,以使连续第一焊接段50形成点状焊点的外观,与后续脉冲激光形成的第二焊接段60在外观上保持一致,其中,脉冲激光可以为YAG脉冲激光,从而能够确保收尾焊缝的平整、美观。
为了确保点状焊点在外观上一致,需要设置第一焊接段50的焊点之间的间距与第二焊接段60的焊点之间的间距相等,即设置发出连续激光的连续激光器和发出脉冲激光的脉冲激光器在步进上完全一致。即
