本申请实施例中的电池可以为锂离子电池、锂金属电池、铅酸电池、镍隔电池、镍氢电池、锂硫电池、锂空气电池或者钠离子电池等,本申请实施例对此不做具体限定。
为了满足不同的电力需求,电池中的多个电池单体之间可以串联、并联或混联,其中混联是指串联和并联的混合。可选地,多个电池单体可以先串联、并联或混联组成电池模块,多个电池模块再串联、并联或混联组成电池。也就是说,多个电池单体可以直接组成电池,也可以先组成电 池模块,电池模块再组成电池。电池再进一步设置于用电设备中,为用电设备提供电能。
目前,从市场形式的发展来看,动力电池的应用越来越广泛。动力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,以及军事装备和航天航空等多个领域。随着动力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。
本申请人注意到,现有的圆柱电池单体一般只有一个电极端子,并且与外部模组汇流部件连接的材质分别为刚镀镍和铝,而模组汇流部件大多采用铝巴、镍片或者镀镍材质。因此当圆柱电池单体内部产生电流时,电流需经过圆柱电池单体的壳体,而壳体内阻较高,这就造成了圆柱电池单体的输出电流变小,从而导致圆柱电池单体的性能降低。
为解决上述现有的圆柱电池无法实现较大的输出电流,从而导致电池性能不佳的问题。本申请实施例提供了一种端盖,可以在设置有两个电极端子的圆柱电池中使正负电极端子均可以直接和汇流部件电连接,以使电流直接从电极端子流向端盖,再流向与端盖连接的第一密封件,这样就不需要经过电池单体的壳体,进而增大了电池单体的输出电流和提高了电池的性能。
此处需要说明的是,本申请所提供的端盖适用于圆柱电池,尤其是圆柱电池的4680结构,但本申请对此不作限定。
本申请实施例公开的电池单体可以但不限用于车辆、船舶或飞行器等用电装置中。可以使用具备本申请公开的电池单体、电池等组成该用电装置的电源系统,这样,能够增加电源系统中圆柱电池单体的电流和提高圆柱电池单体的性能。
本申请实施例描述的技术方案均适用于各种使用电池的装置,例如,手机、便携式设备、笔记本电脑、电瓶车、电动玩具、电动工具、电动车辆、船舶和航天器等,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。
应理解,本申请实施例描述的技术方案不仅仅局限适用于上述所描述的装置,还可以适用于所有使用电池的装置,但为描述简洁,下述实施例均以电动车辆为例进行说明。
例如,如图1所示,为本申请一些实施例提供的车辆1000的结构示意图。车辆1000可以为燃油汽车、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。车辆1000的内部设置有电池100,电池100可以设置在车辆1000的底部或头部或尾部。电池100可以用于车辆1000的供电,例如,电池100可以作为车辆1000的操作电源。车辆1000还可以包括控制器200和马达300,控制器200用来控制电池100为马达300供电,例如,用于车辆1000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100不仅可以作为车辆1000的操作电源,还可以作为车辆1000的驱动电源,代替或部分地代替燃油或天然气为车辆1000提供驱动动力。
例如,如图2所示,为本申请实施例的一电池100的结构示意图。电池100可以包括多个电池单体20。除了电池单体之外,电池100还可以包括箱体10(或称罩体),箱体10的内部为中空结构,多个电池单体20可容纳于箱体10内。如图2所示,箱体10可以包括两部分,这里分别称为第一部分111和第二部分112,第一部分111和第二部分112扣合在一起。第一部分111和第二部分112的形状可以根据多个电池单体20组合的形状而定,第一部分111和第二部分112可以均具有一个开口。例如,第一部分111和第二部分112均可以为中空长方体且各自只有一个面为开口面,第一部分111的开口和第二部分112的开口相对设置,并且第一部分111和第二部分112相互扣合形成具有封闭腔室的箱体10。多个电池单体20相互并联或串联或混联组合后置于第一部分111和第二部分112扣合后形成的箱体内。
在电池100中,电池单体20可以是多个,多个电池单体20之间可串联或并联或混联,混联是指多个电池单体20中既有串联又有并联。多个电池单体20之间可直接串联或并联或混联在一起,再将多个电池单 体20构成的整体容纳于箱体内;当然,电池100也可以是多个电池单体20先串联或并联或混联组成电池模块形式,多个电池模块再串联或并联或混联形成一个整体,并容纳于箱体内。电池100还可以包括其他结构,例如,该电池100还可以包括汇流部件(图中未示出),用于实现多个电池单体20之间的电连接。
其中,每个电池单体20可以为二次电池或一次电池;还可以是锂硫电池、钠离子电池或镁离子电池,但不局限于此。
图3为本申请一实施例的电池单体的分解结构示意图,图4为本申请另一实施例的电池单体20的结构示意图。如图3和图4所示,该电池单体20可以包括第一密封件21,端盖22,负极转接片23,电极组件24、壳体25、正极转接片27、底盖28和第二密封件29。壳体25与第一密封件21和第二密封件29形成外壳或电池盒,壳体25的壁、第一密封件21和第二密封件29的壁均称为电池单体20的壁。壳体25根据一个或多个电极组件24组合后的形状而定。壳体25为中空的圆柱体,壳体25的端面为开口面,即该端面不具有壁体而使得壳体25内外相通。从图3可以看出,圆柱形电池单体20的壳体25具有两个圆形端面,该两个圆形端面之间为柱体,柱体部分可以包括电极组件24。端盖22和底盖27覆盖上下两个开口并且与壳体25连接,再通过第一密封件21和第二密封件29形成放置电极组件24的封闭的腔体。壳体25内填充有电解质,例如电解液。
该电池单体20还包括电极端子26,电极端子26分别插入端盖22和底盖28内,以与第一密封件21和第二密封件29形成电连接。更为具体地,电极端子26包括第一电极端子261和第二电极端子262。第一电极端子261与第二电极端子262相对设置。
电池单体20还可包括集流构件,用于将电极组件24和电极端子26之间实现电连接。
另外,每个电极组件24具有两个极耳,例如,具有第一极耳和第二极耳,第一极耳和第二极耳的极性相反。例如,当第一极耳为正极极耳时,第二极耳为负极极耳。又例如,第一极耳为铜极耳,第二极耳为铝极耳。一个或多个电极组件24的第一极耳通过一个集流构件与电极端子 26连接,一个或多个电极组件24的第二极耳通过另一个集流构件与另外的电极端子26连接。
本申请实施例中,电池单体20的第一极耳和第二极耳分别设置在两端。若无特别说明,下述的第一极耳为铜极耳,第二极耳为铝极耳。
在一些实施例中,电池单体20可以不设置底盖28,也就是铝极耳可以直接与第二密封件29连接。
在该电池单体20中,根据实际使用需求,电极组件24可设置为单个,或多个,如图4所示,电池单体20内设置有一个电极组件24。
图5为本申请一实施例的端盖22的分解结构示意图。如图5所示,端盖22包括:端盖本体221,端盖本体221具有开孔222;第一连接结构223,包括第一金属,第一连接结构223设置于开孔222的内侧,用于与位于开孔222内的电极端子26焊接连接;第二连接结构224,包括第二金属,第二连接结构224与第一连接结构223连接,第二连接结构224用于与封闭开孔222的第一密封件21焊接连接。
如图5所示,端盖22还可以包括上塑胶225,端盖片226,密封圈227和下塑胶228。
本申请实施例中,电极端子26穿过开孔222以与端盖22连接。电极端子26为用于电连接的部件,即,将电极组件24产生的电流通过电极端子26传递给电池单体20的正负极。
更具体地,第一电极端子261与端盖22连接,第一电极端子261是与铜极耳实现电连接。也就是电极组件24产生的电流,一端通过第一电极端子261传递给端盖22,进而传递给第一密封件21,另一端通过第二电极端子262传递给第二电极端子262处的第二密封件29。第一密封件21和第二密封件29均与汇流部件连接,这样就可以实现电流直接从电极组件24流向外部,而不经过电池单体20的壳体25。
此处需要说明的是,第一连接结构223与第一电极端子261必须是焊接连接。若第一连接结构223与第一电极端子261是通过其他方式达到连接的,二者之间的内阻就会较大,这仍然造成电池单体20的电流损失,所以第一连接结构223中所包含的第一金属必须是可以与第一电极端 子261焊接连接的金属。
另外,开孔222的作用是容纳第一电极端子261,因此开孔222的大小应根据电极组件24或第一电极端子261的大小设置,本申请对开孔222的具体大小不作任何限定。
端盖22包括端盖本体221、第一连接结构223和第二连接结构224。其中,端盖本体221具有开孔222,该开孔222用于容纳第一电极端子261;第一连接结构223位于开孔222的内侧并与第一电极端子261焊接,即第一连接结构223与开孔222相邻;第二连接结构224与第一连接结构223连接,并与封闭开孔222的第一密封件21焊接连接。当第一连接结构223与第一电极端子261连接时,可实现第一电极端子261与第一连接结构223之间的电连接;当第一连接结构223与第二连接结构224连接时,可实现第一连接结构223与第二连接结构224之间的电连接。当第一密封件21与第二连接结构224连接时,可实现第二连接结构224与第一密封件21之间的电连接。
上述方案中,通过设置第一连接结构223和第二连接结构224,并使第一连接结构223与第一电极端子261连接,第一连接结构223与第二连接结构224连接,第二连接结构224与第一密封件21连接,可以实现电流从第一电极端子261直接流向第一密封件21,进而使电流流向与第一密封件21连接的汇流部件,这样可以避免因经过电池壳体25而造成的电流损失,从而增大电池单体20的输出电流,并提高电池100的性能。
图6为本申请一实施例的端盖22的剖视图。图7为图6中A区域的局部方法图。在一些实施例中,端盖本体221包括设置于开孔222的边缘的第一台阶结构2211,第一台阶结构2211用于嵌入第一连接结构223。
当开孔222边缘设置第一台阶结构2211,并将第一连接结构223嵌入该第一台阶结构2211中,可实现第一连接结构223位于开孔221的内侧,从而使第一连接结构223与位于开孔221内的第一电极端子261焊接连接。
此处需要说明的是,开孔222的内侧和开孔222的边缘都是与开 孔222之间没有物理隔阂的区域,即,与开孔222是相连的。
上述方案中,通过在开孔222的边缘设置用于嵌入第一连接结构223的第一台阶结构2211,可使第一连接结构223与位于开孔222内的第一电极端子261连接,从而使电流直接从第一电极端子261流向第一连接结构223。
在一些实施例中,端盖本体221还包括第二台阶结构2212,第二台阶结构2212相对于第一台阶结构2211靠近开孔222的内侧,第二台阶结构2212用于搭接第一电极端子261。
如前所述,第一电极端子261位于开孔222内。端盖本体221中还设置有第二台阶结构2212,进一步地,第二台阶结构2212相较于第一台阶结构2211更靠近开孔222的内侧,即,第二台阶结构2212也与开孔222是相邻,也可以说第二台阶结构2212与开孔222是相连的。第二台阶结构2212用于搭接第一电极端子261,可实现第一电极端子261与第一台阶结构2211上的第一连接结构223连接。
上述方案中,通过在端盖本体221中设置用于搭接第一电极端子261的第二台阶结构2212,并且第二台阶结构2212相对于第一台阶结构2211更靠近开孔222的内侧,可使第一电极端子261在开孔222内稳定放置,并与第一连接结构223稳定连接,从而实现电流的稳定流向。
在一些实施例中,第一连接结构223包括第三台阶结构2213,第三台阶结构2213用于避让第一连接结构223与第一电极端子261的焊接结构2214。
位于第一台阶结构2211内的第一连接结构223与搭接于第二台阶结构2212中的第一电极端子261焊接连接。当二者焊接时,会有一些焊接结构2214,例如焊印,导致第一连接结构223的表面凹凸不平。若直接使凹凸不平的第一连接结构223的表面与其他部件接触,会导致其他部件的正常使用。
例如,在本申请中的一些实施例中,第二连接结构224还需与第一密封件21焊接,而第一密封件21会与第一连接结构223的表面接触。当第一连接结构223的表面有凹凸不平的焊接结构2214时,可能会影响 端盖22的焊接或正常使用。
上述方案中,通过在第一连接结构223中设置第三台阶结构2213,可以使其他部件避让第一连接结构223与第一电极端子261的焊接结构2214,从而保证其他部件的正常使用。
在一些实施例中,端盖本体221、第一连接结构223和第二连接结构224均为环形。
当电极组件24产生电流时,电流首先传输到第一电极端子261,接着通过第一电极端子261传输给第一连接结构223,然后通过第一连接结构223传输到第二连接结构224,再通过第二连接结构224传输到第一密封件21,最后通过第一密封件21传输到外部的汇流部件等其他部件,进而使多个电池单体20形成有电连接的电池模组。因此,理论上来说,只需将需要传递电流的部分分别设置为第一连接结构223和第二连接结构224即可,但为了更好的传递电流,可以使第一连接结构223和第二连接结构224均为环形。但是在实际应用过程中,生产者可以根据实际生产需求设置相应的部分,本申请对第一连接结构223和第二连接结构224等在端盖22中的具体位置不作限定。
上述方案中,通过使端盖本体221、第一连接结构223和第二连接结构224均为环形,可以使第一连接结构223和第二连接结构224合理的、尽可能多的分布在端盖22中,从而实现电流的良好传递。
图8是图7中B区域的局部放大图。请如图7和图8所示,在一些实施例中,在第一方向X上,第一连接结构223的尺寸D1为0.8-1mm,第一方向X平行于端盖22的轴线。
第一连接结构223不仅要与第二连接结构224连接,还要与位于开孔222内的第一电极端子261焊接连接。当第一连接结构223在第一方向X的尺寸D1过小时,第一连接结构223与第一电极端子261的焊接可能会有焊接不牢的问题。
例如,在本申请实施例中,第一连接结构223在第一方向X上的尺寸D1可以为0.85mm、0.9mm或1mm等等,只要满足工程要求,本申请对D1的值无具体要求。
上述方案中,通过使第一连接结构223在第一方向X上的尺寸D1保持在0.8-1mm,可保证第一连接结构223与第一电极端子261之间的连接牢固,从而实现电流的稳定流向。
在一些实施例中,在第一方向X上,第二连接结构224的尺寸D2为2-4mm。
例如,在本申请实施例中,第二连接结构224在第一方向X上的尺寸D2可以为2mm、3mm、3.5mm或4mm等等,只要满足工程要求,本申请对D3的值无具体要求。
第二连接结构224不仅与第一连接结构223连接,还要与封闭开孔222的第一密封件21连接。当第二连接结构224在第一方向X的尺寸D2过小时,第二连接结构224与第一密封件21的焊接可能会有焊接不牢的问题。
上述方案中,通过使第二连接结构224在第一方向X上的尺寸D2保持在2-4mm,可保证第二连接结构224与第一密封件21之间的连接牢固,从而实现电流的稳定流向。
在一些实施例中,在第一方向X上,第三台阶结构2213的尺寸D3不小于0.2mm。
例如,在本申请实施例中,第三台阶结构2213在第一方向X上的尺寸D3可以为0.2mm、0.3mm、0.35mm或0.4mm等等,只要满足工程要求,本申请对D3的值无具体要求。
第三台阶结构2213用于避让第一连接结构223和第一电极端子261的焊接结构2214,以保证第一连接结构223和第一电极端子261周围的其他部件的正常使用。
上述方案中,通过使第三台阶结构2213在第一方向X上的尺寸D3不小于0.2mm,可保证其他部件完全避开第一连接结构223和第一电极端子261的焊接结构2214,从而进一步保证电流可以直接从第一电极端子261流向端盖22。
在一些实施例中,在第二方向Y上,第一连接结构223在第一密封件21轴线的一侧的尺寸D4不小于1mm,第二方向Y垂直于端盖22的 轴线。
为了保证第一连接结构223和第一电极端子26126的牢固焊接,对第一连接结构223在第一方向X上的尺寸D1有所要求。但第一连接结构223不仅要和第一电极端子261连接,还要和第二连接结构224连接。若第一连接结构223在第二方向Y上的尺寸D4过小,其与第二连接结构224的连接效果也会不佳。
此处需要说明的是,从端盖22的剖面图可知,端盖本体221、第一连接结构223和第二连接结构224均为左右对称,存在于两侧的第一连接结构223分别与第一电极端子261焊接连接。因此在单侧上,第一连接结构223在第二方向Y上的尺寸D4不小于1mm。
例如,在本申请实施例中,单侧的第一连接结构223在第二方向Y上的尺寸D4可以为1mm、1.5mm或2mm等等,只要满足工程要求,本申请对D3的值无具体要求。
上述方案中,通过使单侧第一连接结构223在第二方向Y上的尺寸D4不小于2mm,可实现第一连接结构223与第二连接结构224的稳定连接,从而实现电流的稳定输出。
在一些实施例中,在第二方向Y上,第二连接结构224在端盖22轴线一侧的尺寸D5不小于5mm。
例如,在本申请实施例中,单侧的第二连接结构224在第二方向Y上的尺寸D4可以为2mm、3mm或4mm等等,只要满足工程要求,本申请对D3的值无具体要求。
具有合适尺寸的第二连接结构224可实现与第一电极端子261、第一密封件21等部件的完美适配。同样,存在于两侧的第二连接结构224分别与第一密封件21焊接连接,因此在单侧上,第二连接结构224在第二方向Y上的尺寸D5不小于5mm。
上述方案中,通过使单侧第二连接结构224在第二方向Y上的尺寸D5不小于5mm,可保证端盖22的正常功能。
在一些实施例中,电极端子26的材料包括铜,第一金属为刚镀镍或铜。
如前所述,第一连接结构223与第一连接端子261必须是以焊接的形式进行连接的,所以第一连接结构223中的第一金属必须可以与第一电极端子261焊接的金属。当电极端子26,更为具体地,当第一电极端子261的材料包括铜,第一连接结构223中的第一金属为铜或钢镀镍时,含铜的第一电极端子261可以和第一连接结构223直接焊接连接。
上述方案中,通过使第一连接结构223中的第一金属为铜或钢镀镍,电极端子26和第一连接结构223直接焊接以达到较好的传递电流,避免电流的损失,从而实现增大流向外部的电流。
在一些实施例中,第一密封件21的材料包括铝,第二金属为铝。
当第一密封件21包括铝,第二连接结构224中的第二金属为铝时,含铝的第一密封件21可以和第二连接结构224直接焊接连接。
本申请实施例中,若无特别说明,第二密封件29的材料中也包括铝。
上述方案中,铝价格低廉、易于获取,通过使含铝的第一密封件21与铝制的汇流部件连接,可实现电池单体20与外部的电连接,可降低电池100的成本,有利于在大规模的生产中应用;并且通过使第二连接结构224中的第二金属为铝,可实现电池单体20与外部的良好连接,避免电流的损失,从而实现增大流向外部的电流。
本申请实施例中,电池单体20中的第一极耳的材料为铜,因此,与第一极耳连接的电极端子26的材料需包括铜,也就是第一电极端子261的材料包括铜。第二极耳的材料为铝,因此,与第二极耳连接的电极端子26的材料需包括铝,也就是第二电极端子292的材料包括铝。请参照图4,第一极耳与第一电极端子261形成电连接,第一电极端子261与端盖22形成电连接,端盖22通过第一密封件21再与外部的汇流部件形成电连接;第二极耳与第二电极端子262形成电连接,第二电极端子262与第二密封件29形成电连接,第二密封件29再与外部的汇流部件形成电连接。
在一些实施例中,第一连接结构223与第二连接结构224通过热复合连接。
此处的热复合即为热轧。热轧就是在结晶温度以上进行的轧制。 热轧时金属塑性高,变形抗力低,可以大大减少金属变形的能量消耗。通过热轧的方式能够改善金属及合金的加工工艺性能,即将铸造状态的粗大晶粒破碎,促进裂纹愈合,减少或消除铸造缺陷,将铸态组织变为变形组织,提高合金的加工性能。在本申请实施例中,就是分别在铜和铝的结晶温度时将二者结合在一起。
上述方案中,通过热复合实现连接的端盖22结构具有较小的内阻。也就是说,当第一连接结构223与第二连接结构224通过热复合连接时,电流可以更好的从第一连接结构223传递到第二连接结构224,实现电池单体20与外部之间较大的电流传递,从而提高电池100性能。
本申请实施例还提供了一种电池单体20,该电池单体20包括:电极组件24;壳体25,具有第一开口,用于容纳电极组件24;前述各实施例中的端盖22,具有第二开口,所述端盖22用于封闭第一开口;以及第一密封件21,用于封闭第二开口。
如图7所示,在一些实施例中,在第一方向X上,第一密封件21相较于端盖22具有凸出部211,第一方向X平行于端盖22的轴线。
第二连接结构224与封闭端盖本体221开孔222的第一密封件21焊接连接。当二者焊接时,会有一些焊接结构2214,例如焊印,导致第二连接结构224的表面凹凸不平。第一密封件21还需和汇流部件连接,若直接使凹凸不平的第二连接结构224的表面与汇流部件接触,会影响汇流部件的正常使用。
上述方案中,通过在第一密封件21上设置凸出部211,可以使汇流部件或其他部件避让第二连接结构224与第一密封件21的焊接结构2214,从而保证汇流部件或其他部件的正常使用。
在一些实施例中,在第一方向X上,凸出部211的尺寸D6不小于0.2mm。
位于第一密封件21上的凸出部211用于避让第二连接结构224和第一密封件21的焊接结构2214,以保证第二连接结构224和第一密封件21周围的其他部件的正常使用。
本申请实施例中,凸出部211在第一方向X上的尺寸可为 0.2mm、0.25mm或0.3mm,只要满足工程需求,本申请对此不作要求。
上述方案中,通过使凸出部211在第一方向X上的尺寸D6不小于0.2mm,可保证其他部件完全避开第二连接结构224和第一密封件21的焊接结构2214,从而进一步保证电流可以直接从电极端子26流向第一密封件21,进而流向外部。
此处需要说明的是,本申请实施例所提供的电池单体20具有两种电极端子26,分别为含铜的第一电极端子261和含铝的第二电极端子262,并且两种电极端子26分别设置在电池单体20的两端。即,第一电极端子261与铜极耳连接,第二电极端子262与铝极耳连接。第一电极端子261与端盖22连接,再通过第一密封件21与外部汇流部件连接,第二电极端子262与底盖28连接,再通过第二密封件29与外部汇流部件连接。
本申请实施例还提供了一种电池100,包括前述实施例中的电池单体20。
本申请实施例还提供了一种用电设备,该用电设备可以包括前述各实施例中的电池100,以用于为该用电设备提供电能。可选地,用电设备可以为车辆、船舶或航天器。
在电池单体20中,第一电极端子261和第二电极端子262相对设置在电池单体20的两端。一方面,通过使与第一极耳(即铜极耳)连接的第一电极端子261与含有第一连接结构223和第二连接结构224的端盖22连接后,再与第一密封件21连接;另一方面,使与第二极耳(即铝极耳)连接的第二电极端子262与第二密封件29连接,可以实现将电极组件24产生的电流直接传递给外部,避免因经过壳体25而造成的电流损失,从而增大电池单体20的输出电流和提高电池100的性能。
虽然已经参考优选实施例对本申请进行了描述,但在不脱离本申请的范围的情况下,可以对其进行各种改进并且可以用等效物替换其中的部件。尤其是,只要不存在结构冲突,各个实施例中所提到的各项技术特征均可以任意方式组合起来。本申请并不局限于文中公开的特定实施例,而是包括落入权利要求的范围内的所有技术方案。
