在一些实施例中,第二可通气结构为通孔。
通过该实施例的技术方案,第二可通气结构为通孔,结构简单,方便加工制作。
在一些实施例中,环形件包括至少三个依次首尾连接的侧壁部,靠近第二泄压机构的侧壁部设有第二可通气结构。
通过采用该实施例的技术方案,第二可通气结构与第二泄压机构的距离近,经第二可通气结构的排放物可快速地运动到第二泄压机构,再经第二泄压机构排出,有利于箱体内部憋压等风险,有利于提高电池的使用可靠性。

在一些实施例中,环形件包括至少三个依次首尾连接的侧壁部,远离第二泄压机构的侧壁部设有第二可通气结构。
通过采用该实施例的技术方案,由于第二可通气结构与第二泄压机构之间距离较远,因此,经过第二可通气结构的排放物需要运动一定距离才能流到第二泄压机构处,从而排出箱体,这样可延长排放物的排放路径,排放物中的颗粒物的降温时间长,颗粒物的出箱温度低,有利于降低电池排气温度过高的风险,提高电池的使用可靠性。

通过采用该实施例的技术方案,第一过滤部的过滤孔的孔径大于第二过滤部的过滤孔的孔径,这样沿长排放路径流动的排放物中的低温小颗粒物会直接通过第一过滤部的过滤孔排放到电池外,同时,第一过滤部的过滤孔也会将排放物中的温度较高的大颗粒阻挡;并且,而沿短排放路径流动的排放物中的温度高的大小颗粒物均会被第二过滤部的过滤孔阻挡,不会排放到电池外,这样便可减少引起电池排气温度过高的风险,提高电池的使用可靠性;另外,通过大小过滤孔的配合设计,排放物可快速地排出电池外,减少箱体内部憋压的风险。
在一些实施例中,箱体还包括底板,分隔件通过间隔元件支撑于底板上,电池模块位于分隔件的上方,第一泄压机构位于电池单体的底部。
通过采用该实施例的技术方案,第一泄压机构位于电池单体的底部,同时,电池模块与第一子泄压机构通过分隔件隔开,这样第一泄压机构释放的排放物难以与电池单体顶部的电气部件接触,减少电池单体的损坏风险,有利于提高电池的使用可靠性。
在一些实施例中,分隔件为热管理部件,热管理部件用于与电池模块进行换热。
通过该实施例的技术方案,分隔件直接为热管理部件,这样无需增加额外的部件,有利于减少电池的零部件数量,方便加工制作。

本申请实施例所提到的电池是指包括一个或多个电池单体以提供更高的电压和容量的单一的物理模块。电池一般包括用于封装一个或多个电池单体的箱体。箱体可以避免液体或其他异物影响电池单体的充电或放电。
本申请实施例中,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。
电池单体包括电极组件和电解液,电极组件由正极片、负极片和隔离膜组成。电池单体主要依靠金属离子在正极片和负极片之间移动来工作。
电池技术的发展要同时考虑多方面的设计因素,例如,能量密度、循环寿命、放电容量、充放电倍率等性能参数,另外,还需要考虑电池在使用过程中的可靠性。
对于电池单体来说,主要的安全危险来自于充电和放电过程,同时还有适宜的环境温度设计,为了有效地避免不必要的损失,对电池单体一般会有至少三重保护措施。具体而言,保护措施至少包括开关元件、选择适当的隔离膜材料以及第一泄压机构。
第一泄压机构是指电池单体的内部压力或温度或其他条件达到预定阈值时致动以泄放内部压力或温度的元件或部件。该阈值设计根据设计需求不同而不同。阈值可能取决于电池单体中的正极极片、负极极片、电解液和隔离膜中一种或几种的材料。第一泄压机构可以采用诸如防爆阀、气阀、泄压阀或安全阀等的形式,并可以具体采用压敏或温敏的元件或构造,即,当电池单体的内部压力或温度或其他条件达到预定阈值时,第一泄压机构执行动作或者第一泄压机构中设有的薄弱结构被破坏,从而形成可供内部压力或温度泄放的通道。
本申请实施例中所提到的“致动”是指第一泄压机构产生动作或被激活至一定的状态,从而使得电池单体的内部压力及温度得以被泄放,从而使得电池单体的内部压力及温度得以被泄放。第一泄压机构产生的动作可以包括但不限于:第一泄压机构中的至少一部分破裂、破碎、熔化、被撕裂或者打开,等等。第一泄压机构在致动时,电池单体的内部的排放物作为排放物会从致动的部位向外排出。以此方式能够在可控压力或温度的情况下使电池单体发生泄压及泄温,从而避免潜在的更严重的事故发生。
第一泄压机构在致动时,电池单体内部的高温高压物质作为排放物会从致动的部位向外排出。以此方式能够在可控压力或温度的情况下使电池单体发生泄压及泄温,从而避免潜在的更严重的事故发生。
本申请实施例中所提到的来自电池单体的排放物包括但不限于:电解液、被溶解或分裂的正负极极片、隔离膜的碎片、反应产生的高温高压气体、火焰等等。
通常,电池单体释放的排放物在电池的箱体内蔓延,箱体设置第二泄压机构,通过第二泄压机构的致动,使得排放物从箱体的致动部位向外排出,减少电池热失控进一步恶化;但从电池喷出排放物往往会携带电池单体热失控所产生的高温的颗粒物,高温的颗粒物喷出电池,电池的排气温度过高,容易引起电池外部环境的恶化,严重影响电池使用的可靠性。其中,第一泄压机构和第二泄压机构的动作原理类似,在此不再赘述。
基于此,为了提高使用的可靠性,本申请实施例提供了一种电池,当电池内的电池单 体发生热失控后,第一泄压机构致动,电池单体产生的排放物通过第一泄压机构释放到泄压通道内并沿泄压通道运动到第二泄压机构,随着热失控的继续加剧,第二泄压机构致动,泄压通道内的排放物通过第二泄压机构释放到箱体的外部,而在此过程中,由于电池单体、电池模块、箱体和泄压通道中的至少一个设有过滤件,通过过滤件上的过滤孔可阻挡排放物中的高温的颗粒物通过,从而减少电池喷出的高温的颗粒物,有利于降低电池排气温度过高的风险,提高电池使用的可靠性。
本申请实施例公开的电池以及使用电池作为电源的用电装置,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。

在本申请的另一实施例中,过滤件40的所有的过滤孔401的横截面积之和为过滤面积;在第二泄压机构16朝向电池模块20的侧方设有过滤件40的情况下,位于第二泄压机构16朝向电池模块20的侧方的过滤件40为第一过滤件,第一过滤件的过滤面积大于第二泄压机构16的最大泄压面积;在第二泄压机构16背向电池模块20的侧方设有过滤件40的情况下,位于第二泄压机构16背向电池模块20的侧方的过滤件40为第二过滤件,第二过滤件的过滤面积小于第二泄压机构16的最大泄压面积。

第二过滤件的过滤面积小于第二泄压机构16的最大泄压面积,可以理解的是,排放物依次流经第二泄压机构16和第二过滤件过程中,排放物的流通面积依次减小,可达到逐级泄压的效果,有利于提高排放物的排放效果,提高电池1100的使用可靠性。
通过采用该实施例的技术方案,排放物的流通面积沿排放路径减小,可达到逐级泄压的效果,有利于提高排放物的排放效果,提高电池1100的使用可靠性;另外,流通面积逐步减小,也有利于减少设计冗余,有利于降低制作成本。
在本申请的另一实施例中,在第二泄压机构16朝向电池模块20的侧方设有第一过滤件的情况下,第一过滤件的数量为多个,多个第一过滤件沿电池单体21释放出来的排放物的排放路径依次排布,多个第一过滤件的过滤面积沿排放物的排放路径减小;在第二泄压机构16背向泄压通道30的侧方设有第二过滤件的情况下,第二过滤件的数量为多个,多个第二过滤件沿第二泄压机构16释放的排放物的排放路径依次排布,多个第二过滤件的过滤面积沿排放物的排放路径减小。

过滤孔401的孔径可以是指过滤孔401的径向尺寸,示例地,过滤孔401为圆孔,孔径是指圆孔的直径。
通常过滤孔401的孔径越大,能够通过过滤孔401的颗粒物的尺寸也就越大,过滤孔401的孔径越小,能够通过过滤孔401的颗粒物的尺寸也就越小。
多个第一过滤件的过滤孔401的孔径沿排放物的排放路径减小,可以理解的是,排放物先通过孔径较大的第一过滤件,后通过孔径较小的第一过滤件,这样可先将排放物中的大颗粒物过滤掉,再将排放物中的小颗粒过滤掉,这样逐级过滤有利于降低过滤件40堵塞的风险,减少泄压不畅的风险,有利于提高电池1100的使用可靠性。
多个第二过滤件40的过滤孔401的孔径沿排放物的排放路径减小,可以理解的是,排放物先通过孔径较大的第二过滤件40,后通过孔径较小的第二过滤件40,这样可先将排放 物中的大颗粒物过滤掉,再将排放物中的小颗粒过滤掉,这样逐级过滤有利于降低过滤件40堵塞的概率,减少泄压不畅的风险,有利于提高电池1100的使用可靠性。
在本申请的另一个实施例中,结合图10所示,过滤件40与第二泄压机构16间隔设置。
过滤件40与第二泄压机构16间隔设置,可以理解的是,第二泄压机构16与过滤件40之间存在一定的空间,该空间可用于给第二泄压机构16致动提供动作空间,减少干涉风险。空间大小可根据第二泄压机构16的动作空间进行设定,在此不作限定。

结合图5和图6所示,过滤件40呈方筒状,板部41可以是指过滤件40的筒底部分,环壁部42可以是指过滤件40的筒侧壁部72分,其中,环壁部42的形状可以是多种,例如圆形、方形、椭圆形等。环壁部42环设于第二泄压机构16的周围,使得过滤件40罩设于第二泄压机构16,从而过滤掉排放物中的颗粒物。
环壁部42和板部41中至少一个设有过滤孔401,可以理解的是,环壁部42设有过滤孔401,或者,板部41设有过滤孔401,或者,环壁部42和板部41均设有过滤孔401,这样通过过滤孔401阻挡排放物中的颗粒物通过,从而实现过滤。
通过采用该实施例的技术方案,过滤件40的结构简单,加工制作简单。
在本申请的另一个实施例中,结合图23~25所示,过滤件40具有第一过滤部43和第二过滤部44,第一过滤部43和第二过滤部44均设有多个过滤孔401,至少一个电池单体21的第一泄压机构215和第二泄压机构16之间形成有第一排放路径N’和第二排放路径N,第一排放路径N’经第一过滤部43的过滤孔401,第二排放路径N经第二过滤部44的过滤孔401;在第一排放路径N’的长度大于第二排放路径N的长度情况下,第一过滤部43的过滤孔401的孔径大于第二过滤部44的过滤孔401的孔径。
过滤件40开设有多个过滤孔401,多个过滤孔401的孔径是不一样的,大孔径的过滤孔401所在的区域可为第一过滤部43,小孔径的过滤孔401所在的区域可为第二过滤部44,而电池单体21热失控后,电池单体21释放的排放物流入泄压通道30,并沿泄压通道30运动到电池1100外,而在过程中,排放物会有多条排放路径流到第二泄压机构16,其中,流经第一过滤部43的过滤孔401的排放路径为第一排放路径N’,流经第二过滤部44的排放路径为第二排放路径N,且第一排放路径N’的长度大于第二排放路径N的长度,这样经第一排放路径N’的流动的排放物流动时间长,排放物中的小颗粒降温时间长,降温效果好,颗粒物的出箱温度低,排出电池1100外不容易环境恶化;同理,经第二排放路径N流动的排放物流动时间短,排放物中的小颗粒降温时间短,颗粒物的出箱温度高,排出电池1100外容易引起环境恶化;另外,针对排放物中的大颗粒,大颗粒相对于小颗粒而言,经过较长排放路径的降温后,其温度可能降低不明显,大颗粒排放到电池1100外部,依然可能够引起电池1100排气温度过高的问题。
通过采用该实施例的技术方案,第一过滤部43的过滤孔401的孔径大于第二过滤部44的过滤孔401的孔径,这样沿长排放路径流动的排放物中的低温小颗粒物会直接通过第一过滤部43的过滤孔401排放到电池1100外,同时,第一过滤部43的过滤孔401也会将 排放物中的温度较高的大颗粒阻挡;并且,而沿短排放路径流动的排放物中的温度高的大小颗粒物均会被第二过滤部44的过滤孔401阻挡,不会排放到电池1100外,这样便可减少引起电池1100排气温度过高的风险,提高电池1100的使用可靠性;另外,通过大小过滤孔401的配合设计,排放物可快速地排出电池1100外,减少箱体10内部憋压的风险。
在本申请的另一个实施例中,结合图5和图6所示,过滤孔401的数量为多个,任意两个过滤孔401的孔径相同。

每个第一可通气结构51连接至少一个电池单体21的第一泄压机构215和第一子泄压通道31;可以理解的是,在电池单体21的数量为一个的情况下,第一可通气结构51连接该电池单体21的第一泄压机构215和第一子泄压通道31;在电池单体21的数量为多个的情况下,与第一可通气结构51连接的电池单体21的数量包括但不限于一个、两个、三个或四个。
通过采用该实施例的技术方案,电池模块20中的电池单体21热失控后,该电池单体21的第一泄压机构215释放的排放物经第一可通气结构51进入第一泄压通道30,而第一泄压通道30与电池模块20之间通过分隔件50隔开,这样可减少第一泄压通道30内的排放物与电池模块20中的其他电池单体21的接触风险,减少热失控蔓延风险,有利于提高电池1100的使用可靠性。
在本申请的另一个实施例中,结合图13所示,泄压通道30包括至少两个第一子泄压通道31,每个第一子泄压通道31连接不同的电池单体21所对应的第一可通气结构51,第一子泄压通道31间通过间隔元件60隔开。

通过采用该实施例的技术方案,连接通道采用分隔件50的壁面与箱体10的内壁面围设形成连通通道32,结构简单,方便加工制作。

通过采用该实施例的技术方案,电池单体21发生热失控的情况下,该电池单体21释放的排放物会进入对应的第一子泄压通道31排出,排放物不会进入其他第一子泄压通道31与其他电池单体21接触,减少热失控蔓延的风险,提高电池单体21的可靠性。

远离第二泄压机构16的侧壁部72,可以是指,除去与第二泄压机构16距离最近的侧壁部72以外的侧壁部72。
通过采用该实施例的技术方案,由于第二可通气结构71与第二泄压机构16之间距离较远,因此,经过第二可通气结构71的排放物需要运动一定距离才能流到第二泄压机构16处,从而排出箱体10,这样可延长排放物的排放路径,排放物中的颗粒物的降温时间长,有利于降低电池1100排气温度过高的风险,提高电池1100的使用可靠性。

在本申请的另一个实施例中,在过滤件40设于箱体10的情况下,远离第二泄压机构16的侧壁部72为过滤件40,过滤孔401为第二可通气结构71。

在本申请的另一个实施例中,结合图18~21所示,在过滤件40设于箱体10的情况下,过滤件40盖设于第二可通气结构71。
过滤件40盖设在第二可通气结构71,可以理解的是,过滤件40能够覆盖在第二可通气结构71,其中,过滤件40位于第二可通气结构71朝向第一子环形通道331的侧方,这样第一子环形通道331的排放物先经过滤件40过滤后,再经第二可通气结构71进入第二子环形通道332;或者,过滤件40位于第二可通气结构71背向第一子环形通道331的侧方,这样第一子环形通道331的排放物先经第二可通气结构71再经过滤件40过滤后进入第二子环形通道332;或者,第二可通气结构71朝向第一子环形通道331的侧方和背向第一子环形通道331的侧方均设有过滤件40,这样可实现双重过滤,过滤效果更好,电池1100的使用可靠性更好。

结合图25所示,过滤件40位于电池模块20和第二泄压机构16之间,可以理解的是,而电池模块20呈阵列排放,过滤件40和第二泄压机构16位于电池模块20沿电池单体21的列方向(X方向)分布的端部的侧方,且过滤件40位于第二泄压机构16与电池模块20之间;这样电池模块20内的任一个电池单体21释放的排放物经过第一过滤部43的过滤孔401的第一排放路径N’的长度,均会大于该电池单体21释放的排放物经过第二过滤部44的过滤孔401的第二排放路径N的长度,那么在设计时可根据最靠近第二泄压机构16的电池单体21即可得到判断出第一过滤部43和第二过滤部44的位置,这样便可保证所有的电池单体21释放的排放物经过第一过滤部43的过滤孔401的第一排放路径N’的长度均会大于经过第二过滤部44的过滤孔401的第二排放路径N的长度。
通过采用该实施例的技术方案,第一过滤部43的过滤孔401的孔径大于第二过滤部44的过滤孔401的孔径,这样沿长排放路径流动的排放物中的低温小颗粒物会直接通过第一过滤部43的过滤孔401排放到电池1100外,同时,第一过滤部43的过滤孔401也会将排放物中的温度较高的大颗粒阻挡;并且,而沿短排放路径流动的排放物中的温度高的大小颗粒物均会被第二过滤部44的过滤孔401阻挡,不会排放到电池1100外,这样便可减少引起电池1100排气温度过高的风险,提高电池1100的使用可靠性;另外,通过大小过滤孔401的配合设计,排放物可快速地排出电池1100外,减少箱体10内部憋压的风险。

在电池1100的使用状态下,底板15可以是指箱体10底部的板件,分隔件50通过间隔元件60支撑底板15上,分隔件50通过间隔元件60将分隔件50支起,使得分隔件50与底板15之间存在间隙,从而方便分隔件50和底板15之间构建第一子泄压通道31。
通过采用该实施例的技术方案,第一泄压机构215位于电池单体21的底部,同时,电池模块20与第一子泄压机构通过分隔件50隔开,这样第一泄压机构215释放的排放物难以与电池单体21顶部的电气部件接触,减少电池单体21的损坏风险,有利于提高电池1100的使用可靠性。
在另一实施例中,结合图28和图35所示,第一泄压机构215也可以位于电池单体21的侧部,或者,第一泄压机构215位于电池单体21的顶部,然后根据第一泄压机构215的位置对应设计分隔件50、间隔元件60、第一子泄压通道31和第二子泄压通道34,其具体可根据实际需要进行设计。
在本申请的另一个实施例中,分隔件50为热管理部件,热管理部件用于与电池模块20进行换热。
热管理部件可以是指与电池单体21进行换热的部件,例如液冷板等部件。
通过该实施例的技术方案,分隔件50直接为热管理部件,这样无需增加额外的部件,有利于减少电池1100的零部件数量,方便加工制作。

通过采用该实施例的技术方案,通过的设定,使得过滤件40的孔径最大的过滤孔401的横截面积与电池单体21的最短排放路径具有合理的设计,减少电池1100排气温度过高的风险,有利于提升电池1100的使用可靠性;在满足的设定下,在电池单体21的最短排放路径长度一定的情况下,孔径最大的过滤孔401的横截面积不会设计的过小,可使得过滤孔401能够让颗粒物顺利快速地通过,从而减少因过滤件40堵塞、泄压不及时等而出现箱体10损坏严重的风险;在满足的设定下,在电池单体21的最短排放路径一定的情况下,孔径最大的过滤孔401的横截面积不会设计的过大,可使得过滤孔401能够将温度较高的颗粒物拦下,从而减少因大量火星喷出点燃外部烟气导致电池外部环境恶化的风险。
结合图26所示,在电池1100的使用状态下,通常电池单体21的第一泄压机构215可位于电池单体21的顶部、侧部和底部。示例地,结合图26a)、图26b)和图26e)所示,在第一泄压机构215位于电池单体21的顶部的情况下,电池单体21的正电极端子214a和负电极端子214b可位于电池单体21的顶部,也可以位于电池单体21的同一侧部,还可以分别位于电池单体21的相对两侧部。结合图26c)所示,在第一泄压机构215位于电池单体21的侧部的情况下,电池单体21的正电极端子214a和负电极端子214b中的一个与第一泄压机构215位于电池单体21的同一侧,另一个位于电池单体21与第一泄压机构215相对的另一侧部;结合图26d)所示,在第一泄压机构215位于电池单体21的底部时,电池单体21的正电极端子214a和负电极端子214b可位于电池单体21的顶部。

任意一个电池单体21的第一泄压机构215,可以理解的是,每个电池单体21的第一泄压机构215,即每个电池单体21的第一泄压机构215和第二泄压机构16之间的最短排放路径均满足上述方程式。
通过采用该实施例的技术方案,每个电池单体21的最短排放路径L与过滤件40的孔径最大的过滤孔401的横截面积S均处于合理的设计范围内,更好地提升电池1100的使用可靠性。
在本申请的另一个实施例中,
通过采用该实施例的技术方案,电池单体21的最短排放路径L与过滤件40的孔径最大的过滤孔401的横截面积S均处于更合理的设计范围内,电池1100发生排气温度过高的风险更小,电池1100的使用可靠性更好。另外,的设计,孔径最大的过滤孔401的横截面积S可设计的较大,减少因排气不畅而导致箱体10出现鼓胀或者大量火星颗粒喷出电池的风险。
在一些实施例中,的值可以为但不限于0.0021m/mm2、0.005m/mm2、0.005m/mm2、0.08m/mm2、0.1m/mm2、1m/mm2、10m/mm2、15m/mm2、16m/mm2、20m/mm2、25m/mm2、30m/mm2、35m/mm2、40m/mm2、45m/mm2、50m/mm2或54.9m/mm2
在本申请的另一个实施例中,0.05m≤L≤4m。
通过采用该实施例的技术方案,最短排放路径的长度位于该范围内,最短排放路径不至于设计的过短,而导致颗粒物降温时间短,电池1100排出的颗粒物温度高,容易引起电池1100外部环境恶化;最短排放路径不至于设于过长,而导致排气时间长,泄压不及时而出现箱体10爆炸。
在一些实施例中,L的值可以为但不限于为0.05m、0.1m、0.5m、2m、2.5m、3m、3.5m或4m。
下面表1示出了一些实验采用的最短排放路径的长度L的参数、孔径最大的过滤孔401的横截面积S的参数以及实验结果。该实验具体方法采用GB 38031-2020所记载的方式,在此不再赘述。
表1
通过上表可以看出,在的值小于或等于0.002m/mm2的情况下,从箱体10内部排放的颗粒物的温度较高,电池1100的排气温度高,容易引发较为严重的起火危害。在的值在0.0021m/mm2至0.0078m/mm2的情况下,仅有少量火星从箱体10喷出,其危害较小且可控。在的值在0.008m/mm2至16m/mm2的范围内,箱体10可处于正常状态。在的值在16.12m/mm2至54.1714m/mm2的范围内,箱体10容易产生鼓包,箱体10的密封性虽会受到一定的影响,但电池1100仍可处于可使用状态。在的值等于或大于55m/mm2情况下,箱体10的密封性会受到严重破坏,此时箱体10可能会产生损坏严重或者温度过高的严重危害。
在另一实施例中,电池1100的体积能量密度为E,孔径最大的过滤孔401的横截面积为S,则,其中,E的单位为Wh/L,S的单位为mm2
电池1100的体积能量密度可以是指电池1100的单体体积内包含的能量,在实际使用过程中,电池1100的体积能量密度可从电池1100的铭牌上直接读取。
在一般情况下,随电池1100的体积能量密度提高,电池1100热失控剧烈程度增加,电池单体21释放排放物更剧烈,导致温度更高、速度更快的排放物沿泄压通道30涌向第二泄压机构16,电池1100温度过高的风险加剧,对过滤件40的过滤功能要求越高,过滤件40的孔径最大的过滤孔401的横截面积也可以设计的更小。
通过采用该实施例的技术方案,通过的设定,使得过滤件40的孔径最大的过滤孔401的横截面积S与电池1100的体积能量密度E具有合理的设计,减少电池1100排气温度过高的风险,有利于提升电池1100的使用可靠性;在满足的设定下,在电池1100的体积能量密度一定的情况下,孔径最大的过滤孔401的横截面积不会设计的过小,可使得过滤孔401能够让颗粒物顺利快速地通过,从而减少因过滤件40堵塞、泄压不及时等而出现箱体10损坏严重的风险;在满足的设定下,在电池1100的体积能量密度一定的情况下,孔径最大的过滤孔401的横截面积不会设计过大,可使得过滤孔401能够将温度较高的颗粒物拦下,从而减少因大量火星喷出点燃外部烟气可能引起电池1100外部环境恶化的风险。
在另一实施例中,
通过采用该实施例的技术方案,使得过滤件40的孔径最大的过滤孔401的横截面积S与电池1100的体积能量密度E具有更合理的设计,电池1100发生外部排气温度过高的风险更小,电池1100的使用可靠性更好。另外,的设计,孔径最大的过滤孔401的横截面积S可设计的较大,减少因排气不畅而导致箱体10出现鼓胀或者大量火星颗粒喷出电池的风险。
在一些实施例中,的值可以为但不限于17(Wh/L)/mm2、20(Wh/L)/mm2、23(Wh/L)/mm2、100(Wh/L)/mm2、500(Wh/L)/mm2、1000(Wh/L)/mm2、1500(Wh/L)/mm2、2000(Wh/L)/mm2、2500(Wh/L)/mm2、3000(Wh/L)/mm2、3200(Wh/L)/mm2、3500(Wh/L)/mm2、4000(Wh/L)/mm2、4500(Wh/L)/mm2、5000(Wh/L)/mm2、5500(Wh/L)/mm2、6000(Wh/L)/mm2、6500(Wh/L)/mm2、7000(Wh/L)/mm2、7500(Wh/L)/mm2、8000(Wh/L)/mm2、8500(Wh/L)/mm2、9000(Wh/L)/mm2、9500(Wh/L)/mm2、10000(Wh/L)/mm2、10500(Wh/L)/mm2、11000(Wh/L)/mm2或11300(Wh/L)/mm2
在另一实施例中,400Wh/L≤E≤800Wh/L。
通过采用该实施例的技术方案,大部分电池1100的体积能量密度E位于上述范围内,从而使得上述公式能够适用于大部分电池1100中,适用范围广。
在一实施例中,E的值可以为但不限于400Wh/L、450Wh/L、500Wh/L、550Wh/L、600Wh/L、650Wh/L、700Wh/L、750Wh/L或800Wh/L。
在另一实施例中,0.06mm2≤S≤25mm2
通过采用该实施例的技术方案,孔径最大的过滤孔401的横截面积S位于上述范围内, 过滤件40可有效地拦截大部分高温颗粒物,减少电池1100排气温度过高的风险。若孔径最大的过滤孔401的横截面积S设计的过小,颗粒物容易堵塞过滤件40,造成泄压不及时,容易引起箱体10损坏严重;若孔径最大的过滤孔401的横截面积S设计的过大,温度较高的大颗粒物容易穿过过滤件40,引起电池1100排气温度过高。
在另一实施例中,0.25mm2≤S≤6.25mm2
通过采用该实施例的技术方案,孔径最大的过滤孔401的横截面积设计更合理,能够进一步地减小电池1100排气温度过高的风险。
在一实施例中,S的值可以为但不限于0.06mm2、0.1mm2、0.15mm2、0.2mm2、0.25mm2、0.3mm2、1mm2、2mm2、3mm2、4mm2、5mm2、6mm2、6.25mm2、7mm2、8mm2、9mm2、10mm2、12mm2、14mm2、16mm2、18mm2、20mm2、22mm2、24mm2或25mm2
下面表2示出了一些实验采用的电池1100的体积能量密度E的参数、孔径最大的过滤孔401的横截面积S的参数以及实验结果。该实验具体方法采用GB 38031-2020所记载的方式,在此不再赘述。
表2
通过上表可以看出,在的值小于17(Wh/L)/mm2的情况下,从箱体10内部排放的 颗粒物的温度较高,电池1100的排气温度高,容易引发较为严重的起火危害。在的值在17(Wh/L)/mm2至22.8(Wh/L)/mm2的范围内,仅有少量火星从箱体10喷出,其危害较小且可控。在的值在23(Wh/L)/mm2至3200(Wh/L)/mm2的范围内,箱体10可处于正常状态。在的值在3279(Wh/L)/mm2至11300(Wh/L)/mm2的范围内,箱体10会产生鼓包,箱体10的密封性虽会受到一定的影响,但电池1100仍可处于可使用状态。在的值大于11300(Wh/L)/mm2情况下,箱体10的密封性容易受到严重破坏,此时箱体10可能会产生损坏严重或者温度过高的严重危害。
本申请实施例的电池,通过合理设计过滤件40的结构,可对电池热失控排放物中的高温颗粒物实现有效拦截的同时,还可减少因颗粒物堵塞导致电池1100泄压不畅,甚至出现爆炸的风险。
在本申请的另一实施例中,还提供了一种用电装置,包括如上述实施例的电池1100。
上文对各个实施例的描述倾向于强调各个实施例之间的不同之处,其相同或相似之处可以相互参考,为了简洁,本文不再赘述。
以上所述仅为本申请的较佳实施例而已,并不用以限制本申请,凡在本申请的精神和原则之内所作的任何修改、等同替换和改进等,均应包含在本申请的保护范围之内。
