电池单体是指包括壳体、盖体、泄压机构、电极组件等部件的最小电能存储单元,电池单体可通过串联、并联、串并联等方式排列组成电池。随着新能源汽车市场的快速发展,电池作为新能源汽车的动力来源,其使用安全性对整个车辆系统而言显得尤为重要,而电池单体的使用安全性是决定电池的使用安全性是否符合要求的关键因素。
本申请的发明人注意到,电池单体的端盖组件中的盖体与壳体通常是采用焊接方式实现连接的,电池单体在充放电过程中会产生气体,当电池单体受到破坏或者出现故障时,电池单体会出现急剧产气的情况,使得电池单体的内部压力快速升高,此时,由于盖体的受力面积较大,盖体需要承受较大的压力而导致盖体出现变形的情况,盖体的用于安装泄压机构的部位也会随之发生变形,使得应力无法有效集中在泄压机构的薄弱结构上而导致泄压机构无法及时打开,随着电池单体的内部压力进一步升高,盖体与壳体之间的焊缝会逐渐断裂,最终导致盖体与壳体相互分离,电池单体内的活性物质向外喷出,容易引发起火事故。由此可见,传统的电池单体的使用安全性还有待提高。
为了提高电池单体的使用安全性,本申请的发明人经过深入研究,设计了一种端盖组件,该端盖组件包括盖体、第一凸筋和第二凸筋,盖体设有泄压机构,第一凸筋和第二凸筋均设置于盖体上,并且使第一凸筋环设于盖体的泄压机构以及使第二凸筋设置于第一凸筋的背离泄压机构的一侧,从而有效增加盖体位于泄压机构的外周侧的部位的强度,如此,即使电池单体的内部气压较高,盖体位于泄压机构的外周侧的部位也不会出现大幅度变形的情况,使得应力能够有效集中在泄压机构的薄弱结构上,从而使得泄压机构能够及时打开以将积聚在电池单体内部的气体向外排出,有效降低了盖体与电池单体的壳体相互分离的风险,有效提高了电池单体的使用安全性。

为了说明本申请所提供的技术方案,以下结合具体附图及实施例进行详细说明。
请一并参阅图6至图12,该端盖组件211包括盖体2111、第一凸筋2113和第二凸筋2114。盖体2111设有泄压机构2112,第一凸筋2113和第二凸筋2114均设置于盖体2111上,第一凸筋2113环设于泄压机构2112,第二凸筋2114设置于第一凸筋2113的背离泄压机构2112的一侧。
盖体2111盖设于壳体212的开口2121,盖体2111的外周轮廓形状与壳体212的开口2121的形状相适应,盖体2111与壳体212共同围合形成用于容纳电极组件213和集流构件214的容纳腔,以形成对电极组件213和集流构件214的保护。盖体2111可以是平板状结构,保证盖体2111与壳体212安装的便利性以及连接稳定性。可选地,盖体2111的材质包含多种,例如铜、铁、铝、不锈钢、铝合金、塑胶等,在此不作具体限定。
第一凸筋2113和第二凸筋2114是指对盖体2111起到加强作用的部件,第一凸筋2113和第二凸筋2114均沿盖体2111的厚度方向(即图6及图7所示的Z方向)凸出设置。第一凸筋2113和第二凸筋2114均可以使用具有一定的强度的材料制成,比如,铜、铁、铝、不锈钢、铝合金、塑胶等,在此不作具体限定。第一凸筋2113、第二凸筋2114和盖体2111可以分别独立成型,然后将第一凸筋2113和第二凸筋2114分别连接于盖体2111上,第一凸筋2113和第二凸筋2114与盖体2111之间的连接方式包含多种,例如焊接、粘接等,在此不作具体限定。第一凸筋2113、第二凸筋2114和盖体2111也可以一体成型,一体成型方式包含多种,例如压铸成型、浇铸成型等,在此不作具体限定。可以理解地,当第一凸筋2113、第二凸筋2114和盖体2111一体成型时,第一凸筋2113、第二凸筋2114和盖体2111采用同种材料制成。
泄压机构2112是指用于在电池单体21的内部压力或温度达到阈值时释放内部压力的部件。该阈值可根据电池单体21的设计需求而定。上述阈值可以取决于电池单体21内的正极极片、负极极片、电解质和隔离件中一种或几种的材料。可选地,泄压机构2112可以采用诸如防爆阀、气阀、泄压阀或安全阀等的形式,在此不作具体限定。具体地,泄压机构2112包括通孔部21121和薄弱结构21122。通孔部21121沿盖体2111的厚度方向(即图6及图7所示的Z方向)贯穿盖体2111。薄弱结构21122用于将通孔部21121封堵。可选地,薄弱结构21122可以与盖体2111位于通孔部21121的外周侧的部位相连接,也可以与第一凸筋2113的内周壁相连接,又可以同时与盖体2111的位于通孔部21121的外周侧的部位以及第一凸筋2113的内周壁相连接,还可以与第一凸筋2113的背离盖体2111的一侧相连接。薄弱结构21122安装方式包含多种,例如焊接、粘接等,在此不作具体限定。当电池单体21的内部压力或温度低于阈值时,薄弱结构21122不动作,以封堵通孔部21121,使得电池单体21的内部环境隔绝于外部环境;当电池单体21的内部压力或温度达到阈值时,薄弱结构21122被破坏,以使电池单体21的内部环境与外部环境相连通,从而使得电池单体21的内部压力向电池单体21的外部环境释放。
第一凸筋2113环设于泄压机构2112是指第一凸筋2113沿泄压机构2112的外周部位延伸并且闭合形成环状结构。环状结构可以是闭环结构,也可以是开环结构,即第一凸筋2113包括至少两个筋段,各个筋段相互分隔设置。为了便于描述,可以将该环状结构的内侧空间称为第一凸筋2113的内环空间,将该环状结构的外侧空间称为第一凸筋2113的外环空间。通孔部21121位于第一凸筋2113的内环空间内,第二凸筋2114设置于第一凸筋2113的背离泄压机构2112的一侧是指第二凸筋2114位于第一凸筋2113的外环空间。
本申请实施例提供的端盖组件211通过将第一凸筋2113和第二凸筋2114设置于盖体2111上,并且使第一凸筋2113环设于盖体2111的泄压机构2112以及使第二凸筋2114设置于第一凸筋2113的背离泄压机构2112的一侧,从而有效增加盖体2111位于泄压机构2112的外周侧的部位的强度,如此,即使电池单体21的内部压力较高,盖体2111位于泄压机构2112的外周侧的部位也不会出现大幅度变形的情况,使得应力能够有效集中在泄压机构2112的薄弱结构21122上,使得泄压机构2112能够及时打开以将积聚在电池单体21内部的气体向外排出,从而有效降低了盖体2111与电池单体21的壳体212相互分离的风险,有效提高了电池单体21的使用安全性。
在本申请的一些实施例中,请一并参阅图8至图10,第二凸筋2114的数量为多个,第一凸筋2113的相对两侧均设有第二凸筋2114。
第二凸筋2114的数量可以根据电池单体21的设计需求而定,例如,请参阅图8,第二凸筋2114的数量为两个,第一凸筋2113的相对两侧均设有一个第二凸筋2114;又如,请参阅图9,第二凸筋2114的数量为六个,第一凸筋2113的相对两侧均设有三个第二凸筋2114;再如,请参阅图10,第二凸筋2114的数量为四个,第一凸筋2113的相对两侧均设有两个第二凸筋2114。设置在第一凸筋2113的同一侧的各个第二凸筋2114可以相互平行设置,也可以不平行设置。
第一凸筋2113的相对两侧可以是指第一凸筋2113沿图8至图11所示的X方向的相对两侧,也可以是指第一凸筋2113沿图8至图11所示的Y方向的相对两侧。当电池单体21呈长方体结构时,盖体2111的外周轮廓大致呈长方形结构,上述X方向即为盖体2111的宽度方向,上述Y方向即为盖体2111的长度方向,换言之,请一并参阅图8及图9,可以在第一凸筋2113沿盖体2111的宽度方向的相对两侧均设有该第二凸筋2114,或者,请参阅图10,也可以在第一凸筋2113沿盖体2111的长度方向的相对两侧均设有该第二凸筋2114。
通过采用上述技术方案,进一步增加了盖体2111位于泄压机构2112的外周侧的部位的强度,使得泄压机构2112能够更加迅速地打开以将积聚在电池单体21内部的气体向外排出,从而进一步降低了盖体2111与电池单体21的壳体212相互分离的风险,进一步提高了电池单体21的使用安全性。
在本申请的一些实施例中,请一并参阅图8至图10,第一凸筋2113与多个第二凸筋2114分布形成对称结构。
对称结构可以是轴对称结构,也可以是中心对称结构,其中,当第一凸筋2113与多个第二凸筋2114分布形成轴对称结构时,该轴对称结构可以是以盖体2111沿Y方向延伸的中线为对称轴线的轴对称结构,也可以是以盖体2111的沿X方向延伸的中线为对称轴线的轴对称结构;当第一凸筋2113与多个第二凸筋2114分布形成中心对称结构时,该中心对称结构是指以泄压机构2112的轴心为对称中心的中心对称结构。
通过采用上述技术方案,有效提高了盖体2111位于泄压机构2112的外周侧的部位的相对两侧的强度一致性,有效避免因应力集中在盖体2111位于泄压机构2112的外周侧的部位的某一侧而导致出现盖体2111整体受力不均匀的情况,从而进一步降低了盖体2111与电池单体21的壳体212相互分离的风险,进一步提高了电池单体21的使用安全性。
在本申请的一些实施例中,请参阅图11,第二凸筋2114的数量为多个,多个第二凸筋2114围绕第一凸筋2113分布。
多个第二凸筋2114围绕第一凸筋2113分布是指多个第二凸筋2114沿第一凸筋2113的外周缘依次间隔分布,相邻两个第二凸筋2114之间的间距可以相等,也可以不相等。
通过采用上述技术方案,进一步增加了盖体2111位于泄压机构2112的外周侧的部位的强度,使得泄压机构2112能够更加迅速地打开以将积聚在电池单体21内部的气体向外排出,从而进一步降低了盖体2111与电池单体21的壳体212相互分离的风险,进一步提高了电池单体21的使用安全性。
在本申请的一些实施例中,请参阅图11,第一凸筋2113与多个第二凸筋2114分布形成对称结构。
通过采用上述技术方案,有效提高了盖体2111位于泄压机构2112的外周侧的部位的各个位置的强度一致性,有效避免因应力集中在盖体2111位于泄压机构2112的外周侧的部位的某一位置上而导致出现盖体2111整体受力不均匀的情况,从而进一步降低了盖体2111与电池单体21的壳体212相互分离的风险,进一步提高了电池单体21的使用安全性。
在本申请的一些实施例中,请一并参阅图8至图11,第二凸筋2114沿自第一凸筋2113朝盖体2111的边缘的方向延伸。
可选地,第二凸筋2114可以沿直线延伸,也可以沿曲线延伸,在此不作具体限定。
通过采用上述技术方案,进一步增加了盖体2111位于泄压机构2112的外周侧的部位的强度,使得泄压机构2112能够更加迅速的打开以将积聚在电池单体21内部的气体向外排出,从而进一步降低了盖体2111与电池单体21的壳体212相互分离的风险,进一步提高了电池单体21的使用安全性。
在本申请的一些实施例中,请一并参阅图8至图11,第二凸筋2114的一端与第一凸筋2113相连接,第二凸筋2114的另一端延伸至盖体2111的边缘上。
换言之,第二凸筋2114起始于第一凸筋2113朝盖体2111的边缘延伸并终止于盖体2111的边缘上。
通过采用上述技术方案,可最大限度地利用第一凸筋2113与盖体2111的边缘之间的空间,以实现第二凸筋2114的长度最大化,进一步增加了盖体2111位于泄压机构2112的外周侧的部位的强度,使得泄压机构2112能够更加迅速的打开以将积聚在电池单体21内部的气体向外排出,从而进一步降低了盖体2111与电池单体21的壳体212相互分离的风险,进一步提高了电池单体21的使用安全性。
在本申请的一些实施例中,请一并参阅图6及图7,端盖组件211还包括设置于盖体2111的边缘上的第三凸筋2115,第三凸筋2115的背离泄压机构2112的一侧与盖体2111的侧壁相齐平。
第三凸筋2115的背离泄压机构2112的一侧与盖体2111的侧壁相齐平是指第三凸筋2115的背离泄压机构2112的一侧与盖体2111的侧壁处于同一平面上,第三凸筋2115的背离泄压机构2112的一侧与盖体2111的侧壁共同构成端盖组件211的外侧壁。
在相关技术中,通常会采用增加盖体2111的整体厚度的技术手段,以增加盖体2111的外侧壁面积,从而增加盖体2111与电池单体21之间的焊接面积,但是这样会增加盖体2111所占用的电池单体21的壳体212的内部空间,导致电池单体21的电容量下降。
通过采用上述技术方案,由于第三凸筋2115设置在盖体2111的边缘位置上,盖体2111的中部厚度不变,因此可以在不过多地占用电池单体21的壳体212的内部空间的情况下,有效增加了端盖组件211与电池单体21的壳体212之间的焊接面积,从而有效增加了端盖组件211与电池单体21的壳体212之间的焊接强度,进一步降低了盖体2111与电池单体21的壳体212相互分离的风险,进一步提高了电池单体21的使用安全性。
在本申请的一些实施例中,请一并参阅图8至图11,第三凸筋2115环设于泄压机构2112。
第三凸筋2115环设于泄压机构2112是指第三凸筋2115沿盖体2111的周缘延伸并且闭合形成环状结构。环状结构可以是闭环结构,也可以是开环结构,即第三凸筋2115包括至少两个筋段,各个筋段相互分隔设置。为了便于描述,可以将该环状结构的内侧空间称为第三凸筋2115的内环空间,将该环状结构的外侧空间称为第三凸筋2115的外环空间。泄压机构2112、第一凸筋2113和第二凸筋2114均位于第三凸筋2115的内环空间内。
请一并参阅图13至图15,第三凸筋2115的背离泄压机构2112的一侧与盖体2111的侧壁共同构成端盖组件211的外周壁,端盖组件211的外周壁与电池单体21的壳体212的内周壁正对设置,并且端盖组件211的外周壁与电池单体21的壳体212的内周壁相焊接。
通过采用上述技术方案,使得端盖组件211的外周壁与电池单体21的壳体212的内周壁之间的焊痕大小变得更加均匀,从而使得端盖组件211的外周壁受力变得更加均匀,进一步增加了端盖组件211与电池单体21的壳体212之间的焊接强度,同时进一步增加了盖体2111的整体结构强度,进一步减少了在电池单体21的内部压力较高时盖体2111的变形幅度,从而进一步降低了盖体2111与电池单体21的壳体212相互分离的风险,进一步提高了电池单体21的使用安全性。
在本申请的一些实施例中,请一并参阅图8至图11,第二凸筋2114连接于第一凸筋2113和第三凸筋2115之间。
换言之,第二凸筋2114起始于第一凸筋2113朝第三凸筋2115延伸并终止于第三凸筋2115。
通过采用上述技术方案,进一步增加了盖体2111的整体结构强度,进一步减少了在电池单体21的内部压力较高时盖体2111的变形幅度,从而进一步降低了盖体2111与电池单体21的壳体212相互分离的风险,进一步提高了电池单体21的使用安全性。
在本申请的一些实施例中,请参阅图12,端盖组件211还包括设置于盖体2111上的第四凸筋2116,第四凸筋2116环设于泄压机构2112且位于第一凸筋2113和第三凸筋2115之间。
第四凸筋2116环设于泄压机构2112是指第四凸筋2116沿泄压机构2112的外周部位延伸并且闭合形成环状结构。环状结构可以是闭环结构,也可以是开环结构,即第四凸筋2116包括至少两个筋段,各个筋段相互分隔设置。为了便于描述,可以将该环状结构的内侧空间称为第四凸筋2116的内环空间,将该环状结构的外侧空间称为第四凸筋2116的外环空间。
第四凸筋2116位于第一凸筋2113和第三凸筋2115之间是指第四凸筋2116位于第三凸筋2115的内环空间内,第一凸筋2113位于第四凸筋2116的内环空间内。
当第二凸筋2114连接于第一凸筋2113和第三凸筋2115之间时,第四凸筋2116与第二凸筋2114相连接,换言之,第二凸筋2114自第一凸筋2113穿过第四凸筋2116后连接于第三凸筋2115。
通过采用上述技术方案,进一步增加了盖体2111的整体结构强度,进一步减少了在电池单体21的内部压力较高时盖体2111的变形幅度,从而进一步降低了盖体2111与电池单体21的壳体212相互分离的风险,进一步提高了电池单体21的使用安全性。
在本申请的一些实施例中,第四凸筋2116的数量为多个。
多个第四凸筋2116相互嵌套设置,即一个第四凸筋2116位于另一个第四凸筋2116的内环空间内,如此类推。第四凸筋2116的数量可以根据电池单体21的设计需求而定,例如两个、三个等,在此不做具体限定。
通过采用上述技术方案,进一步增加了盖体2111的整体结构强度,进一步减少了在电池单体21的内部压力较高时盖体2111的变形幅度,从而进一步降低了盖体2111与电池单体21的壳体212相互分离的风险,进一步提高了电池单体21的使用安全性。
在本申请的一些实施例中,请参阅图7,第三凸筋2115相对盖体2111表面的凸出高度h1为0.2mm-3mm。
第三凸筋2115的凸出高度h1是指第三凸筋2115沿盖体2111的厚度方向(即图7所示的Z方向)的尺寸,第三凸筋2115的凸出高度h1可以根据电池单体21的设计需求而定,具体地可为0.2mm、1.5mm、3mm等,在此不作具体限定。
由于第三凸筋2115的作用是增加端盖组件211与壳体212之间的焊接面积,如果第三凸筋2115的凸出高度h1过小,则端盖组件211与壳体212之间的焊接面积的增加幅度较小,对端盖组件211和壳体212之间的焊接强度提升作用不明显,如果第三凸筋2115的凸出高度h1过大,会导致第三凸筋2115与电池单体21内部的集流构件214、电极组件213等部件产生干涉。通过将第三凸筋2115的凸出高度h1限定在上述范围内,既可保证第三凸筋2115能够有效增加端盖组件211与壳体212之间的焊接面积,从而提升端盖组件211和壳体212之间的焊接强度,也可防止第三凸筋2115因凸出高度h1过大而与其它部件产生干涉。
在本申请的一些实施例中,请参阅图7,第三凸筋2115的宽度W1为0.3mm-8mm。
第三凸筋2115的宽度W1是指第三凸筋2115沿垂直于第三凸筋2115的延伸方向且垂直于盖体2111的厚度方向(即图7所示的Z方向)的方向的尺寸,第三凸筋2115的宽度W1可以根据电池单体21的设计需求而定,具体地可为0.3mm、4mm、8mm等,在此不作具体限定。
由于第三凸筋2115需要与壳体212进行焊接,如果第三凸筋2115的宽度W1过小,第三凸筋2115会被高温熔化,导致第三凸筋2115失效,如果第三凸筋2115的宽度W1过大,会导致第三凸筋2115与端盖组件211中的绝缘件等部件产生干涉。通过将第三凸筋2115的宽度W1限定在上述范围内,既可保证第三凸筋2115能够有效增加端盖组件211与壳体212之间的焊接强度,也可防止第三凸筋2115因宽度W1过大而与其它部件产生干涉。
在本申请的一些实施例中,请参阅图7,盖体2111具有相背离设置的第一表面21111和第二表面21112,通孔部21121贯穿第一表面21111和第二表面21112,第一凸筋2113和第二凸筋2114均设置于第一表面21111,端盖组件211还包括设置于第二表面21112上的第五凸筋2117,第五凸筋2117环设于泄压机构2112。
第一表面21111和第二表面21112是盖体2111沿其厚度方向(即图7所示的Z方向)的两个表面,其中,第一表面21111可以是盖体2111朝向电池单体21的内部环境的表面,也可以是盖体2111背向电池单体21的内部环境的表面,在本实施例中,第一表面21111是盖体2111朝向电池单体21的内部环境的表面,第二表面21112是盖体2111背向电池单体21的内部环境的表面。第一凸筋2113和第二凸筋2114均在第一表面21111上凸出设置,第五凸筋2117在第二表面21112上凸出设置。当盖体2111还包括第三凸筋2115和第四凸筋2116时,第三凸筋2115和第四凸筋2116均在第一表面21111上凸出设置。
第五凸筋2117环设于泄压机构2112是指第五凸筋2117沿泄压机构2112的外周部位延伸并且闭合形成环状结构。环状结构可以是闭环结构,也可以是开环结构,即第五凸筋2117包括至少两个筋段,各个筋段相互分隔设置。为了便于描述,可以将该环状结构的内侧空间称为第五凸筋2117的内环空间,将该环状结构的外侧空间称为第五凸筋2117的外环空间。通孔部21121位于第五凸筋2117的内环空间内。
通过采用上述技术方案,进一步增加了盖体2111位于泄压机构2112的外周侧的部位的强度,使得泄压机构2112能够更加迅速的打开以将积聚在电池单体21内部的气体向外排出,从而进一步降低了盖体2111与电池单体21的壳体212相互分离的风险,进一步提高了电池单体21的使用安全性。
在其它实施例中,为了进一步提高盖体2111的结构强度,端盖组件211还可以包括第六凸筋(图中未示),第六凸筋设置于第二表面21112上且位于第五凸筋2117的背离泄压机构2112的一侧,第六凸筋可以环设于第五凸筋2117,也可以沿自第五凸筋2117朝盖体2111的边缘的方向延伸。
在本申请的一些实施例中,请参阅图7,第一凸筋2113的凸出高度h2为0.2mm-6mm。
第一凸筋2113的凸出高度h2是指第一凸筋2113沿盖体2111的厚度方向(即图7所示的Z方向)的尺寸,第一凸筋2113的凸出高度可以根据电池单体21的设计需求而定,具体地可为0.2mm、3mm、6mm等,在此不作具体限定。
由于第一凸筋2113的作用是增加盖体2111位于泄压机构2112的外周侧的部位的强度,如果第一凸筋2113的凸出高度h2过小,则第一凸筋2113对盖体2111位于泄压机构2112的外周侧的部位的加强作用不明显,如果第一凸筋2113的凸出高度h2过大,会导致第一凸筋2113与端盖组件211中的绝缘件等部件产生干涉。通过将第一凸筋2113的凸出高度h2限定在上述范围内,既可保证第一凸筋2113能够对盖体2111位于泄压机构2112的外周侧的部位产生足够的加强作用,也可防止第一凸筋2113因凸出高度h2过大而与其它部件产生干涉。
在本申请的一些实施例中,请参阅图7,第一凸筋2113的宽度W2为0.5mm-10mm。
第一凸筋2113的宽度W2是指第一凸筋2113沿垂直于第一凸筋2113的延伸方向且垂直于盖体2111的厚度方向(即图7所示的Z方向)的方向的尺寸,第一凸筋2113的宽度可以根据电池单体21的设计需求而定,具体地可为0.5mm、5mm、10mm等,在此不作具体限定。
由于第一凸筋2113的作用是增加盖体2111位于泄压机构2112的外周侧的部位的强度,如果第一凸筋2113的宽度W2过小,则第一凸筋2113对盖体2111位于泄压机构2112的外周侧的部位的加强作用不明显,如果第一凸筋2113的宽度W2过大,会导致第一凸筋2113与端盖组件211中的绝缘件等部件产生干涉。通过将第一凸筋2113的宽度W2限定在上述范围内,既可保证第一凸筋2113能够对盖体2111位于泄压机构2112的外周侧的部位产生足够的加强作用,也可防止第一凸筋2113因宽度W2过大而与其它部件产生干涉。
