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,有利于降低电池外部排气温度过高的风险,提高电池的使用可靠性。

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,随着电池单体热失控的不断地进行,电池单体释放的排放物在电池的箱体内蔓延,同时,箱体内的温度和压力不断上升,箱体逐渐变形,甚至出现严重损坏,严重影响电池使用的可靠性。
基于此,为了提高电池使用的可靠性,本申请实施例提供了一种电池,包括箱体、电池模块和泄压通道,电池模块位于箱体内,电池模块包括电池单体,电池单体设有第一泄压机构,电池的箱体设置有第二泄压机构,这样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;随着排放物在泄压通道内蔓延,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,从而降低箱体内的温度和压力,有利于降低箱体出现严重损坏的风险,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。

第二泄压机构16安装于箱体10并位于电池模块20沿第一子泄压通道31的延伸方向(X方向)的端部的侧方,即第二泄压机构16位于第一子泄压通道31的端部出口的侧方,这样第一子泄压通道31内的排放物从第一子泄压通道31的端部开口排出后,可直接从第二泄压机构16排出电池1100外。
通过采用该实施例的技术方案,电池单体21热失控后,第一子泄压通道31内的排放物可快速地排放到第二泄压机构16处,电池1100泄压排气效果好。

通过采用该实施例的技术方案,多个第二子泄压通道34的设计,使得第一子泄压机构内的排放物可经多个第二子泄压通道34内排放,有利于排放物的快速排出,减少箱体10内部憋压、温度过高等风险,提高电池1100的使用可靠性。

第二可通气结构71可以是指能够连通第一子环形通道331和第二环形子通道的结构,其中,第二可通气结构71可为通孔、通气阀、泄压阀等结构。
第二子环形通道332与第二泄压机构16连接,第一子环形通道331与第一子泄压通道31连通,可以理解的是,在第二泄压机构16致动的情况下,电池单体21释放的排放先进入第一子环形通道331后,再经第二可通气结构71进入第二子环形通道332,最后再经第二泄压机构16释放到箱体10的外部。
通过采用该实施例的技术方案,电池单体21释放的排放物需将第一子环形通道331和第二子环形通道332,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,有利于减少电池1100排气温度过高的风险,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18和19所示,第二可通气结构71为通孔。
通孔可以是指贯穿环形件70的孔结构。
通过该实施例的技术方案,第二可通气结构71为通孔,结构简单,方便加工制作。
在本申请的另一个实施例中,结合图16、图18和19所示,环形件70包括至少三个依次首尾连接的侧壁部72,远离第二泄压机构16的侧壁部72设有第二可通气结构71。
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,颗粒物的出箱温度低,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,结合图16、图18和19所示,靠近第二泄压机构16的侧壁部72为第一侧壁部73,与第一侧壁部73相邻的侧壁部72和与第一侧壁部73相对的侧壁部72中的至少一个设有第二可通气结构71。

通过采用该实施例的技术方案,第二可通气结构71远离第二泄压机构16设计,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。
在本申请的另一个实施例中,结合图16、图18和19所示,第二可通气结构71位于对应的侧壁部72的中部。
第二可通气结构71位于对应的侧壁部72的中部,可以理解的是,第二可通气结构71位于对应的侧壁部72的中间位置。
通过采用该实施例的技术方案,第二可通气结构71位于侧壁部72的中部,这样位于两端的电池单体21到第二可通气结构71的距离均不会太远,这样位于端部的电池单体21释放的排放物也能够快速地排出,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4、图6和7所示,箱体10还包括底板15,分隔件50通过间隔元件60支撑于底板15上,电池模块20位于分隔件50的上方,第一泄压机构215位于电池单体21的底部。
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,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。

在本申请的另一个实施例中,结合图8和11所示,第二泄压机构16的泄压面积为S,至少一个电池单体21的第一泄压机构215与第二泄压机构16之间形成的最短排放路径的长度为L;其中,S的单位为dm2,L的单位为dm。
第二泄压机构16的泄压面积S,可以是指,第二泄压机构16处于完全开启状态下,排放物通过第二泄压机构16的最大的流通面积。示例地,第二泄压机构16为防爆片,箱体10通常设有泄压孔141,防爆片遮蔽泄压孔141;当防爆片完全破损后,防爆片的破损区域的面积小于泄压孔141的横截面积时,防爆片的破损区域的面积为第二泄压机构16的泄压面积,或者,防爆片的破损区域的面积大于泄压孔141的横截面积时,泄压孔141的横截面积为第二泄压机构16的泄压面积;当防爆片与箱体10完全分离后,泄压孔141的 横截面积为第二泄压机构16的泄压面积;第二泄压机构16为防爆阀,防爆阀的技术说明书中的最大排气面积,即可第二泄压机构16的泄压面积,当防爆阀的技术说明书中未记载泄压面积时,第二泄压机构16的泄压面积可以是指防爆阀处于完全开启状态下,排放物流过防爆阀的最大的流通面积。
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之间的最短排放路径的长度为L,可以理解的是,电池单体21的第一泄压机构215释放的排放物流动第二泄压机构16的多条排放路径中,最短的排放路径的长度为L。
在一般情况下,电池单体21热失控,电池1100的泄压面积S越小,电池1100泄压难度越高,电池1100内的气压更高,导致热失控后的高温颗粒物向外喷射的速度更快,颗粒物的降温时间短,电池1100排气温度过高的风险大;若排放物在箱体10内的排放路径越长,颗粒物的降温时间越长,这样电池1100排出的颗粒物的温度也就越低,引起电池1100排气温度过高等的风险也就越低。
通过采用该实施例的技术方案,通过的设定,使得第二泄压机构16的泄压面积S与电池单体21的最短排放路径L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L一定的情况下,第二泄压机构16的泄压面积S不会设计的过小,使得颗粒物不会以较快的速度排出,从而增加颗粒物箱体10内的降温时间,减少颗粒物排出电池1100的温度,降低电池1100排气温度过高等风险。在满足的设定下,在电池单体21的最短排放路径L一定的情况下,第二泄压机构16的泄压面积S不会设计的过大,使得电池1100外部的空气中的氧气不会回流到箱体10内而与箱体10内的高温排放物接触进而导致箱体10内部环境进一步地恶化。
结合图21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,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214和负电极端子214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。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214和负电极端子214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;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214和负电极端子214可位于电池单体21的顶部。
在不同类型的电池单体21安装在箱体10内时,电池单体21的最短排放路径是不同,以下结合一些具体实施例对电池单体21的第一泄压机构215与第二泄压机构16之间的最短路径进行说明。

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与第二泄压机构16的泄压面积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,通过的设定,使得第二泄压机构16的泄压面积S与电池单体21的最短排气路的长度L具有更合理的设计,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L一定的情况下,第二泄压机构16的泄压面积S可设计的较大,这样排放物排出箱体10的顺畅性好,减少因排气不畅而出现箱体10严重鼓胀的风险。
在一实施例中,的值可以为但不限于为0.25dm-1、0.5dm-1、1dm-1、10dm-1、20dm-1、30dm-1、40dm-1、50dm-1、60dm-1、70dm-1、80dm-1、90dm-1、100dm-1、110dm-1、120dm-1、 130dm-1、140dm-1、150dm-1、160dm-1、170dm-1、180dm-1、190dm-1、200dm-1、210dm-1、220dm-1、230dm-1、240dm-1或249dm-1

表1
通过上表可以看出,在的值小于0.25dm-1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0.25dm-1至100dm-1的范围内,箱体10可处于正常状态。在的值等于103.33dm-1和249.2dm-1的情况下,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。在的值大于或等于250m/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乃至温度过高的严重危害。
本申请实施例的电池1100,可通过合理设计第二泄压机构16的泄压面积与排放物的最短排放路径的长度,减少因排放物中的高温颗粒物喷出电池1100引起导致排气温度过高的风险,还可以减少因泄压面积不足导致无法及时泄压进而造成电池1100严重鼓胀甚至爆开的风险。
在本申请的另一个实施例中,电池1100的体积能量密度为E,第二泄压机构16的泄压面积为S;其中,E的单位为Wh/L,S的单位为dm2
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排气温度过高的风险加剧。
通过采用该实施例的技术方案,通过的设定,使得第二泄压机构16的泄压面积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,第二泄压机构16的泄压面积S不会设计的过小,可使得过滤孔能够让颗粒物顺利快速地通过,从而减小因泄压速率过低而出现箱体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,第二泄压机构16的泄压面积S不会设计过大,使得电池1100外部的空气中的氧气不会回流到箱体10内而与箱体10内的高温排放物接触,减少电池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,
通过采用该实施例的技术方案,使得第二泄压机构16的泄压面积S与电池1100的体积能量密度E具有更合理的设计,电池1100发生排气温度过高的风险更小,电池1100的使用可靠性更好。另外,在满足的设定下,在电池1100的体积能量密度E一定的情况下,第二泄压机构16的泄压面积S可设计的较大,这样排放物排出箱体10的顺畅性好,减少因排气不畅而出现箱体10严重鼓胀的风险。
在一实施中,的值可以为但不限于200.1(Wh/L)/dm2、201(Wh/L)/dm2、250(Wh/L)/dm2、500(Wh/L)/dm2、750(Wh/L)/dm2、1000(Wh/L)/dm2、1250(Wh/L)/dm2、1500(Wh/L)/dm2、2000(Wh/L)/dm2、2500(Wh/L)/dm2、3000(Wh/L)/dm2、3500(Wh/L)/dm2、4000(Wh/L)/dm2、4500(Wh/L)/dm2、5000(Wh/L)/dm2、5500(Wh/L)/dm2、6000(Wh/L)/dm2或6099.9(Wh/L)/dm2
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、第二泄压机构16的泄压面积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,在的值小于或等于200(Wh/L)/dm2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。在的值位于201(Wh/L)/dm2至4500(Wh/L)/dm2的范围内,箱体10可处于正常状态。在的值位于4506(Wh/L)/dm2至6092(Wh/L)/dm2的情况下,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。在的值大于或等于6100(Wh/L)/dm2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以及温度过高的严重危害。
在本申请的另一个实施例中,第二泄压机构16的泄压面积为S,电池1100的体积能量密度为E,至少一个电池单体21的第一泄压机构215与第二泄压机构16之间形成的最 短排放路径的长度为L;其中,E的单位为Wh/L,S的单位为dm2,L的单位为dm。
通过采用该实施例的技术方案,通过的值位于上述的范围内,使得第二泄压机构16的泄压面积S、电池1100的体积能量密度E和电池单体21的第一泄压机构215与第二泄压机构16之间形成的最短排放路径的长度为L均具有更合理的设计,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。在满足的设定下,在E×L的值不变的情况下,第二泄压机构16的泄压面积S不会设计的过小,可使得过滤孔能够让颗粒物顺利快速地通过,从而减小因泄压速率过低而出现箱体10损坏严重的风险;在满足的设定下,在E×L的值不变的情况下,第二泄压机构16的泄压面积S不会设计过大,使得电池1100外部的空气中的氧气不会回流到箱体10内而与箱体10内的高温排放物接触,减少电池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,第二泄压机构16的泄压面积为S,电池1100的体积能量密度为E,任意一个电池单体21的第一泄压机构215与第二泄压机构16之间形成的最短排放路径的长度为L;其中,E的单位为Wh/L,S的单位为dm2,L的单位为dm。
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、第二泄压机构16的泄压面积S和电池单体21的体积能量密度E均处于合理的设计范围内,可更好地提升电池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、第二泄压机构16的泄压面积S和电池单体21的体积能量密度E均处于更合理的设计范围内,可更好地提升电池1100的使用可靠性。另外,在满足的设定下,在E×L的值不变的情况下,第二泄压机构16的泄压面积S可设计的较大,这样排放物排出箱体10的顺畅性好,减少因排气不畅而出现箱体10严重鼓胀的风险。
在一些实施例中,的值可以为但不限于1.06×102(Wh/L)/dm、2×102(Wh/L)/dm、1×103(Wh/L)/dm、2×103(Wh/L)/dm、4×103(Wh/L)/dm、6×103(Wh/L)/dm、8×103(Wh/L)/dm、1×104(Wh/L)/dm、2×104(Wh/L)/dm、4×104(Wh/L)/dm、6×104(Wh/L)/dm、8×104(Wh/L)/dm、1×105(Wh/L)/dm、1.29×105(Wh/L)/dm或1.67×105(Wh/L)/dm。
在本申请的另一个实施例中,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。
在本申请的另一个实施例中,0.1dm2≤S≤2dm2
通过采用该实施例的技术方案,第二泄压机构16的泄压面积S位于上述范围内,可减少箱体10损坏严重和温度过高的风险,有利于提高电池1100的使用可靠性。若第二泄压机构16的泄压面积S设计的过小,排气不畅,造成泄压不及时,容易引起箱体10损坏严重;若第二泄压机构16的泄压面积S设计的过大,使得电池1100外部的空气中的氧气会回流到箱体10内而与箱体10内的高温排放物接触,减少电池1100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,0.3dm2≤S≤1dm2
通过采用该实施例的技术方案,第二泄压机构16的泄压面积S设计更合理,能够进一步地减少箱体10损坏严重和电池1100温度过高的风险,有利于提高电池1100的使用可靠性。
在一实施例中,S的值可以为但不限于0.1dm2、0.2dm2、0.4dm2、0.6dm2、0.8dm2、1dm2、1.2dm2、1.4dm2、1.6dm2、1.8dm2或2dm2
下面表3示出了一些实验采用的电池1100的体积能量密度E的参数、第二泄压机构16的泄压面积S的参数、电池单体21的最短排放路径L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3
通过上表可以看出,在的值小于1.06×102(Wh/L)/dm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。在的值位于1.06×102(Wh/L)/dm至1.29×105(Wh/L)/dm的范围内,箱体10可处于正常状态。在的值位于1.29×105(Wh/L)/dm至1.76×105(Wh/L)/dm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。在的值大于1.76×105(Wh/L)/dm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乃至温度过高的严重危害。
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。
