目前,从市场形势的发展来看,动力电池的应用越加广泛。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,以及军事装备和航空航天等多个领域。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,电池的箱体作为电池单体的外壳会对电池的使用产生一定的影响,尤其是,在电池的实际使用过程中,若采用常规的方式制作底护板,则导致底护板的防托底性能差,因此,需要在底护板上额外增加横梁,但是这样会消耗箱体内在高度方向上的空间,且底护板的托底未必一定在横梁上,导致箱体防托底的一致性较差、均匀性较差,即箱体的防托底性能较差,若底护板采用钣金+PVC(聚氯乙烯)制成,导致底护板的重量大、成本高且防托底效果不一致。
为了缓解电池的箱体存在的托底的问题,申请人研究发现,可以底护板内设置容纳槽,且在容纳槽内填充设有缓冲空腔的填充件,即在增强底护板的抗冲击性能以提高箱体的防托底性能的同时,降低底护板的重量,以实现箱体的轻量化设计。
基于以上考虑,为了解决电池的使用过程中电池的箱体存在的托底的问题,申请人经过深入研究,设计了一种电池的箱体,通过在在底板的顶部设置容纳槽支撑板,且在底板和支撑板之间的容纳槽内设置填充件,使得底护板能够形成为“三明治”结构,从而增强底护板的抗球击性能,且容纳槽内填充填充件,并在填充件内设有多个用于缓冲应力的缓冲空腔。
在这样的电池的箱体中,填充件能够占据容纳槽内的安装空间,提高空间利用率,且填充件能够增强底护板的结构强度,以提升底护板的抗冲击性能,同时,多个缓冲空腔能够降低填充件的重量,以实现底护板的轻量化设计,且当电池的箱体发生托底问题时,多个缓冲空腔能够起到缓冲应力的作用,以提高电池的箱体的防托底能力。
在对电池的箱体防托底性能需求的日益增加的背景下,本申请的电池的箱体能够充分利用底板和支撑板之间的容纳槽作为填充件的安装空间。例如,通常底护板的托底问题较为严重,受到的冲击力也较大。该情况下,填充件能够提高底护板的抗球击性能,且缓冲空腔能够对底护板受到的冲击力进行缓冲,如此可以缓解底护板受到的冲击力,增强箱体的防托底性能,避免电池的箱体的损坏。
本申请实施例公开的电池的箱体可以用于电池,且电池可以作为电源的用电装置或者使用电池作为储能元件的各种储能系统。用电装置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。
