Therefore, how to design thermal safety protection for the heat absorber so that the heat absorber has the ability to avoid or delay thermal runaway and spread heat to adjacent battery components, and minimize the risks and hazards of heat diffusion, is a problem that needs to be solved urgently.
通常情况下,在相邻电池元件之间设置隔热件以减少热扩散。但是在电池包结构中,电池元件设置电池包壳体内部,电池包壳体会将电池元件封装起来以保护电池元件,如果一个电池元件热失控时,其热量会传递至电池包壳体,电池包壳体会将热量传递至相邻的电池元件,当相邻电池元件的热量累积达到热失控温度时,会引发热扩散热蔓延的事件发生。Normally, heat insulation is set between adjacent battery elements to reduce heat diffusion. However, in the battery pack structure, the battery elements are set inside the battery pack shell, which will encapsulate the battery elements to protect them. If a battery element is in thermal runaway, its heat will be transferred to the battery pack shell, and the battery pack shell will transfer the heat to the adjacent battery elements. When the heat accumulation of the adjacent battery elements reaches the thermal runaway temperature, thermal diffusion and heat spread events will occur.

吸热装置1包括梁结构10和导热件20,梁结构10内开设有通道11,通道11容纳有相变材料,相变材料在相变吸热过程中吸收电芯40传递至梁结构10的热量,导热件20设置在通道11内壁的上端面,和/或,下端面,导热件20至少部分浸没在相变材料中,用于将梁结构10上端面和下端面的热量导至相变材料。The heat absorption device 1 includes a beam structure 10 and a heat conductor 20. A channel 11 is opened in the beam structure 10. The channel 11 contains a phase change material. The phase change material absorbs the heat transferred from the battery cell 40 to the beam structure 10 during the phase change heat absorption process. The heat conductor 20 is arranged on the upper end surface and/or the lower end surface of the inner wall of the channel 11. The heat conductor 20 is at least partially immersed in the phase change material, and is used to conduct the heat from the upper end surface and the lower end surface of the beam structure 10 to the phase change material.
本申请提供一种用电设备,用电设备包括电池包4和用电器,电池包4用于为用电器供电,用电器可以为电动汽车、电动列车、高尔夫球车等等。The present application provides an electrical device, which includes a battery pack 4 and an electrical appliance. The battery pack 4 is used to supply power to the electrical appliance, and the electrical appliance may be an electric car, an electric train, a golf cart, and the like.
本申请还提供一种电池包4,如图1所示,通常情况下,电池包4包括多个电芯40以及容纳多个电芯40的壳体,所述壳体通常包括托盘52和上盖板51,上盖板51设置在电芯40的上部,与托盘52相互配合形成壳体以保护电池。在一个电芯40热失控的情况下,热失控电芯40向邻近电芯40导热的路径有两条,其一是相邻电芯40之间的相对面可以进行热传递;其二是热失控电芯40将热量传递至壳体,壳体将热量传递至相邻的电芯40。相邻的电芯40之间具有吸热装置1,吸热装置1与壳体的至少一个端面导热连接,用于吸收与吸热装置1导热连接的壳体端面的热量,减少热失控电芯40通过壳体将热量传递至相邻电芯40,引发热扩散的风险。需要说明的是,电芯40可以指多个阵列排布的电芯组成的模组(如图1所示)。 The present application also provides a battery pack 4, as shown in FIG1. In general, the battery pack 4 includes a plurality of battery cells 40 and a shell for accommodating the plurality of battery cells 40. The shell generally includes a tray 52 and an upper cover plate 51. The upper cover plate 51 is arranged on the upper part of the battery cell 40 and cooperates with the tray 52 to form a shell to protect the battery. In the case of thermal runaway of a battery cell 40, there are two paths for the thermal runaway battery cell 40 to conduct heat to the adjacent battery cell 40. One is that the opposite surfaces between the adjacent battery cells 40 can transfer heat; the other is that the thermal runaway battery cell 40 transfers heat to the shell, and the shell transfers heat to the adjacent battery cell 40. There is a heat sink 1 between the adjacent battery cells 40. The heat sink 1 is thermally connected to at least one end face of the shell, and is used to absorb the heat of the shell end face thermally connected to the heat sink 1, so as to reduce the risk of the thermal runaway battery cell 40 transferring heat to the adjacent battery cell 40 through the shell, causing heat diffusion. It should be noted that the battery cell 40 may refer to a module composed of multiple battery cells arranged in an array (as shown in FIG1).
如图1所示,吸热装置1可以呈“十”字形,设置在四个电芯40之间,任意相邻的两个电芯40之间均通过吸热装置1进行间隔。As shown in FIG. 1 , the heat absorption device 1 may be in a “cross” shape and disposed between four battery cells 40 , and any two adjacent battery cells 40 are spaced apart by the heat absorption device 1 .
在一实施例中,吸热装置1为多个,间隔地设置在多个电芯40之间,每一个吸热装置1位于两个电芯40之间,能够有效降低热失控电芯40向相邻电芯40进行热扩散,导致热蔓延发生的概率。In one embodiment, there are multiple heat absorption devices 1, which are arranged at intervals between multiple battery cells 40, and each heat absorption device 1 is located between two battery cells 40, which can effectively reduce the probability of heat diffusion from the thermal runaway battery cell 40 to the adjacent battery cell 40, resulting in heat spread.
在一实施例中,电芯40与吸热装置1之间设置有导热板,导热板用于将热失控的电芯40的热量快速传导至吸热装置1,及时降低热失控电芯40的温度,减少热失控热蔓延的发生。In one embodiment, a heat conducting plate is provided between the battery cell 40 and the heat absorbing device 1, and the heat conducting plate is used to quickly conduct the heat of the battery cell 40 in thermal runaway to the heat absorbing device 1, thereby timely reducing the temperature of the battery cell 40 in thermal runaway and reducing the occurrence of thermal runaway heat spread.
在一实施例中,电芯40与吸热装置1之间存在空气间隙,空气间隙具有一定的隔热效果,能够有效抑制相邻电芯40之间导热路径的热量传输,吸热装置1能够将上盖板51和托盘52的热量及时吸收进行降温,也能够有效降低热蔓延发生的概率。In one embodiment, there is an air gap between the battery cell 40 and the heat absorption device 1. The air gap has a certain heat insulation effect and can effectively suppress the heat transfer in the heat conduction path between adjacent battery cells 40. The heat absorption device 1 can absorb the heat of the upper cover plate 51 and the tray 52 in time to cool down, and can also effectively reduce the probability of heat spread.
如图1所示,在一实施例中,上盖板51,和/或,托盘52设置有冷却结构53,所述冷却结构53用于降低所述电芯40端面的温度。可以理解的是,当吸热装置1与壳体的至少一个端面导热连接,例如,吸热装置1与托盘52导热连接,此时上盖板51设置冷板,用于降低热失控电芯40传递至上盖板51的温度,托盘52处可以设置冷板;当吸热装置1与上盖板51导热连接时,托盘52设置冷板,降低热失控电芯40传递至托盘52的温度,上盖板51可以设置冷板。As shown in FIG1 , in one embodiment, the upper cover plate 51 and/or the tray 52 are provided with a cooling structure 53, and the cooling structure 53 is used to reduce the temperature of the end face of the battery cell 40. It can be understood that when the heat absorbing device 1 is thermally connected to at least one end face of the shell, for example, the heat absorbing device 1 is thermally connected to the tray 52, the upper cover plate 51 is provided with a cold plate to reduce the temperature of the thermal runaway battery cell 40 transferred to the upper cover plate 51, and the tray 52 can be provided with a cold plate; when the heat absorbing device 1 is thermally connected to the upper cover plate 51, the tray 52 is provided with a cold plate to reduce the temperature of the thermal runaway battery cell 40 transferred to the tray 52, and the upper cover plate 51 can be provided with a cold plate.
本申请还提供一种吸热装置1,如图2所示,吸热装置1包括:梁结构10,开设有通道11,通道11内设置有换热介质;导热件20,设置在通道11的内壁,与换热介质导热接触,用于降低所述梁结构10的热量。可以理解的是,导热件20设置在梁结构10通道11的内壁,梁结构10通道11内设置有换热介质,导热件20与换热介质导热接触,能够将梁结构10的热量导入换热介质中,从而降低梁结构10的温度。具体地,在一个电芯40发生热失控的情况下,梁结构10中的换热介质能够快速吸收热失控电池传递过来热量,减少热失控的电芯40的热量向其他相邻电芯40进行传递,能够有效降低热扩散概率的发生。但是单纯的梁结构10并不能有效地抑制热量从托盘52和上盖板51进行传递,当热失控电芯40的热量通过托盘52和上盖板51传导至相邻电芯40,邻近电芯40的热量达到热失控的温度时,会发生热蔓延的情况。The present application also provides a heat absorption device 1, as shown in FIG2, the heat absorption device 1 includes: a beam structure 10, a channel 11 is provided, and a heat exchange medium is arranged in the channel 11; a heat conductor 20 is arranged on the inner wall of the channel 11, and is in thermal contact with the heat exchange medium, and is used to reduce the heat of the beam structure 10. It can be understood that the heat conductor 20 is arranged on the inner wall of the channel 11 of the beam structure 10, and a heat exchange medium is arranged in the channel 11 of the beam structure 10. The heat conductor 20 is in thermal contact with the heat exchange medium, and can conduct the heat of the beam structure 10 into the heat exchange medium, thereby reducing the temperature of the beam structure 10. Specifically, in the case of thermal runaway of a battery cell 40, the heat exchange medium in the beam structure 10 can quickly absorb the heat transferred from the thermal runaway battery, reduce the heat of the thermal runaway battery cell 40 to be transferred to other adjacent battery cells 40, and can effectively reduce the probability of heat diffusion. However, the simple beam structure 10 cannot effectively suppress the heat transfer from the tray 52 and the upper cover 51. When the heat of the thermal runaway battery cell 40 is transferred to the adjacent battery cell 40 through the tray 52 and the upper cover 51, and the heat of the adjacent battery cell 40 reaches the thermal runaway temperature, heat spread will occur.
另一方面,热失控的电芯40与托盘52和上盖板51紧密贴合,能够通过托盘52或者上盖板51将热量传递至相邻的电芯40,当相邻的电芯40通过上盖板51、托盘52的热量累积达到热失控的温度时,会导致电芯40之间的热扩散发生。因此本申请的梁结构10与壳体导热连接,通过在梁结构10中通道11内壁的上端面,和/或,下端面设置有导热件20,导热件20由高导热系数材质制成,用于将电池包4高度方向上的托盘52和上盖板51的热量导入换热介质中,减少热失控电芯40的热量通过上盖板51和托盘52传递至其他电芯40的发生,降低热蔓延概率的发生。能够有效提升电池包4的安全性能。On the other hand, the battery cell 40 in thermal runaway fits tightly with the tray 52 and the upper cover 51, and can transfer heat to the adjacent battery cell 40 through the tray 52 or the upper cover 51. When the heat accumulation of the adjacent battery cells 40 through the upper cover 51 and the tray 52 reaches the temperature of thermal runaway, heat diffusion between the battery cells 40 will occur. Therefore, the beam structure 10 of the present application is thermally connected to the shell, and a heat conductor 20 is provided on the upper end surface of the inner wall of the channel 11 in the beam structure 10, and/or the lower end surface. The heat conductor 20 is made of a material with a high thermal conductivity coefficient and is used to conduct the heat of the tray 52 and the upper cover 51 in the height direction of the battery pack 4 into the heat exchange medium, thereby reducing the heat of the thermal runaway battery cell 40 from being transferred to other battery cells 40 through the upper cover 51 and the tray 52, and reducing the probability of heat spread. It can effectively improve the safety performance of the battery pack 4.
在一实施例中,导热件20为多个线性排列的板材。可以理解的是,梁结构10通常情况下为细长结构,导热件20在梁结构10的长度进行线性排列,可以等间距排布,也可以非等间距设置,例如在电池包4难以散热的部分较为密集地设置导热件20,如沿电芯40长度的中间区域较为密集地设置。可选地,导热件20可以沿梁结构10厚度方向间隔设置,也可以沿梁结构10长度方向间隔设置。In one embodiment, the heat conductor 20 is a plurality of linearly arranged plates. It is understandable that the beam structure 10 is usually a slender structure, and the heat conductors 20 are linearly arranged along the length of the beam structure 10, and can be arranged at equal intervals or at non-equal intervals, for example, the heat conductors 20 are densely arranged in the part where the battery pack 4 is difficult to dissipate heat, such as being densely arranged in the middle area along the length of the battery cell 40. Optionally, the heat conductors 20 can be arranged at intervals along the thickness direction of the beam structure 10, or can be arranged at intervals along the length direction of the beam structure 10.
优选地,导热件20沿梁结构10厚度方向间隔设置,梁结构10厚度方向是指两个相邻电芯40相对的方向。导热件20沿电芯40相对方向间隔设置,能够有效阻隔电芯40之间的热量传递。 Preferably, the heat conducting members 20 are arranged at intervals along the thickness direction of the beam structure 10, where the thickness direction of the beam structure 10 refers to the relative direction of two adjacent battery cells 40. The heat conducting members 20 are arranged at intervals along the relative direction of the battery cells 40, which can effectively block the heat transfer between the battery cells 40.
在一实施例中,导热件20沿梁结构10通道11高度方向的长度小于通道11的高度,导热件20设置在通道11内壁的上端面,和/或,下端面。In one embodiment, the length of the heat conductor 20 along the height direction of the channel 11 of the beam structure 10 is smaller than the height of the channel 11 , and the heat conductor 20 is disposed on the upper end surface and/or the lower end surface of the inner wall of the channel 11 .
可选地,如图4所示,导热件20设置在通道11的下端面,并向上端面进行延伸,导热件20沿通道11高度方向的长度小于通道11的高度,导热件20能够对梁结构10下端面进行降温。Optionally, as shown in Figure 4, the heat conductor 20 is arranged on the lower end surface of the channel 11 and extends toward the upper end surface. The length of the heat conductor 20 along the height direction of the channel 11 is less than the height of the channel 11. The heat conductor 20 can cool the lower end surface of the beam structure 10.
可选地,导热件20设置在通道11的上端面,并向下端面进行延伸,其沿通道11高度方向的长度小于通道11的高度,导热件20可以将梁结构10上端面的热量及时导走。Optionally, the heat conductor 20 is arranged on the upper end surface of the channel 11 and extends toward the lower end surface. Its length along the height direction of the channel 11 is less than the height of the channel 11. The heat conductor 20 can conduct away the heat on the upper end surface of the beam structure 10 in time.
可选地,如图5所示,导热件20设置在通道11的上端面和下端面,上、下端面的导热件20分别向相对方向进行延伸,导热件20沿梁结构10通道11高度方向的长度小于通道11的高度,则上端面的导热件20与下端面的导热件20交错设置,用于降低梁结构10上端面和下端面的温度。导热件20的长度大于通道11高度的一半小于通道11的高度,上端面的导热件20与下端面的导热件20相互穿插;当导热件20的长度小于通道11长度的一半时,上端面的导热件20与下端面的导热件20相互分离。导热件20的长度小于通道11的高度,在同等导热件20制备原料的情况下,可以设置数量更多的较短的导热件20,端面上的导热件20数量越多,导热效果越好,故在保证导热功能实现的同时,有利于节省制备成本。Optionally, as shown in FIG5 , the heat conductive member 20 is disposed on the upper and lower end surfaces of the channel 11, and the heat conductive members 20 on the upper and lower end surfaces extend in opposite directions respectively, and the length of the heat conductive member 20 along the height direction of the channel 11 of the beam structure 10 is less than the height of the channel 11, and the heat conductive member 20 on the upper end surface and the heat conductive member 20 on the lower end surface are arranged alternately, so as to reduce the temperature of the upper and lower end surfaces of the beam structure 10. The length of the heat conductive member 20 is greater than half of the height of the channel 11 and less than the height of the channel 11, and the heat conductive member 20 on the upper end surface and the heat conductive member 20 on the lower end surface are interlaced with each other; when the length of the heat conductive member 20 is less than half of the length of the channel 11, the heat conductive member 20 on the upper end surface and the heat conductive member 20 on the lower end surface are separated from each other. The length of the heat conductive member 20 is smaller than the height of the channel 11. When the raw materials for preparing the same heat conductive member 20 are used, a larger number of shorter heat conductive members 20 can be provided. The more heat conductive members 20 there are on the end face, the better the heat conductive effect. Therefore, while ensuring the realization of the heat conductive function, it is beneficial to save the preparation cost.
在一实施例中,导热件20设置在上端面和下端面之间,并于上、下端面相互接触。可选地,如图2所示,导热件20沿通道11高度方向竖直设置,导热件20连通上、下端面,能够有效增强梁结构10的强度。In one embodiment, the heat conducting member 20 is disposed between the upper end surface and the lower end surface, and the upper and lower end surfaces are in contact with each other. Optionally, as shown in FIG2 , the heat conducting member 20 is vertically disposed along the height direction of the channel 11 , and the heat conducting member 20 connects the upper and lower end surfaces, which can effectively enhance the strength of the beam structure 10 .
如图6所示,可选地,导热件20也可以倾斜设置,导热件20与垂直方向的倾斜角度范围为1°到45°,导热件20能提升梁结构10的强度。As shown in FIG. 6 , optionally, the heat conducting member 20 may also be tilted, and the tilt angle of the heat conducting member 20 relative to the vertical direction ranges from 1° to 45°. The heat conducting member 20 can improve the strength of the beam structure 10 .
在一实施例中,导热件20为金属、石墨、石墨烯、氧化铝、碳化硅材料中的一种。即导热件20由高导热系数材质制成,其导热性能优异。In one embodiment, the heat conducting member 20 is made of one of metal, graphite, graphene, aluminum oxide, and silicon carbide, that is, the heat conducting member 20 is made of a material with a high thermal conductivity coefficient and has excellent thermal conductivity.
在一实施例中,导热件20为弧形或者带凹槽的板型。如图8所示,可选地,导热件20为弧形;如图9所示,可选地,导热件20为带有冲压凹槽的板型。可以理解的是,将导热件20设置成弧形或者带凹槽的板型能够增加导热件20与吸热材料的换热面积,提升导热速率和吸热效率,带有凹槽的板型可以通过平板冲压成型制成。In one embodiment, the heat conductor 20 is an arc-shaped or grooved plate. As shown in FIG8 , the heat conductor 20 is optionally an arc-shaped plate; as shown in FIG9 , the heat conductor 20 is optionally a plate with a stamped groove. It is understood that setting the heat conductor 20 to an arc-shaped or grooved plate can increase the heat exchange area between the heat conductor 20 and the heat absorbing material, improve the heat conduction rate and heat absorption efficiency, and the plate with grooves can be made by flat plate stamping.
在一实施例中,换热介质可以为相变材料或冷却液。可选地,相变材料为水凝胶、石蜡、脂肪酸、金属、结晶水合物、脂肪醇、熔融盐、水中的一种。In one embodiment, the heat exchange medium may be a phase change material or a cooling liquid. Optionally, the phase change material is one of hydrogel, paraffin, fatty acid, metal, crystalline hydrate, fatty alcohol, molten salt, and water.
当导热件20同时连接上端面和下端面,导热件20将通道11划分为若干个独立腔体12,相变材料相变吸热产生气体,如图7所示,需要在导热件20上面设置有通孔21,将若干腔体12连通,使得相变材料吸热后产生的气体能够通过通孔21排出,以免梁结构10中相变吸热后产生气压过大,发生危险。另外,通道11被划为若干独立的腔体12时,相变材料相变吸热挥发或者升华后,可以通过通孔21补充相变材料。When the heat conducting member 20 is connected to the upper end face and the lower end face at the same time, the heat conducting member 20 divides the channel 11 into several independent cavities 12, and the phase change material absorbs heat to generate gas, as shown in FIG7 , it is necessary to set a through hole 21 on the heat conducting member 20 to connect the several cavities 12, so that the gas generated after the phase change material absorbs heat can be discharged through the through hole 21, so as to avoid excessive gas pressure after the phase change in the beam structure 10 absorbs heat, which may cause danger. In addition, when the channel 11 is divided into several independent cavities 12, the phase change material can be replenished through the through hole 21 after the phase change absorbs heat to volatilize or sublimate.
可选地,如图3所示,梁结构10上设置有排气口30,排气口30出设置有排气管道31,排气管道31用于排出相变材料相变吸热后产生的气体。若相变材料在常温下为液体时,相变材料相变吸热变成气态,此时需要将导热件20上设置多个通孔21,或者尺寸较大的通孔21,也需要设置较大的尺寸的排气口30和排气管道31,使其满足排气需要。Optionally, as shown in FIG3 , an exhaust port 30 is provided on the beam structure 10, and an exhaust pipe 31 is provided at the exhaust port 30, and the exhaust pipe 31 is used to discharge the gas generated after the phase change material absorbs heat during phase change. If the phase change material is liquid at room temperature, the phase change material absorbs heat during phase change and becomes gaseous. At this time, it is necessary to set a plurality of through holes 21 on the heat conducting member 20, or a through hole 21 with a larger size, and it is also necessary to set an exhaust port 30 and an exhaust pipe 31 with a larger size to meet the exhaust needs.
可选地,排气管道31可以直接连接到电池包4的排气通道11或排气孔处,借助电池包4本身的结构实现排气,无需额外增加其他零部件,有助于节省成本,提高空间利用率。Optionally, the exhaust duct 31 can be directly connected to the exhaust channel 11 or the exhaust hole of the battery pack 4, and exhaust can be achieved with the help of the structure of the battery pack 4 itself without adding other additional components, which helps to save costs and improve space utilization.
可选地,排气管道31远离排气口30的一侧设置相应的开关阀(附图中未标示出来),能够在梁结构10内部的气压超过阈值时打开,将相变吸热产生的气体及时排出,有效降低梁 结构10内部的气压,降低因相变吸热产生气压过高而发生安全事故的概率。另外,在常温状态下或者电芯40未发生热失控的情况,设置有开关阀给相变材料提供一个相对密闭空间,防止相变材料挥发或外部灰尘进入。Optionally, a corresponding switch valve (not shown in the drawings) is provided on the side of the exhaust pipe 31 away from the exhaust port 30, which can be opened when the air pressure inside the beam structure 10 exceeds a threshold value, so as to discharge the gas generated by the phase change endothermic in time, effectively reducing the beam pressure. The air pressure inside the structure 10 reduces the probability of safety accidents caused by excessive air pressure due to phase change heat absorption. In addition, at room temperature or when the battery cell 40 does not experience thermal runaway, a switch valve is provided to provide a relatively closed space for the phase change material to prevent the phase change material from volatilizing or external dust from entering.
具体地,排气管道31远离排气口30的一侧设置有膜片,膜片可以为金属材料、高分子材料等。当通道11内相变材料吸热产气时,产生的气体可以通过气孔连通流动。当通道11内的气体积聚,气压升高到阈值时,例如0.5MPa,到达膜片的起爆压力,膜片破裂,气体通过排气口30经排气管道31直接排出包体外。膜片能够在气压到达阈值时自动破裂使气体能够排出,无需额外的人工操作。Specifically, a diaphragm is provided on one side of the exhaust pipe 31 away from the exhaust port 30, and the diaphragm may be made of metal material, polymer material, etc. When the phase change material in the channel 11 absorbs heat and produces gas, the generated gas can flow through the pores. When the gas in the channel 11 accumulates and the air pressure rises to a threshold value, for example, 0.5 MPa, reaching the detonation pressure of the diaphragm, the diaphragm ruptures, and the gas is directly discharged out of the package through the exhaust port 30 and the exhaust pipe 31. The diaphragm can automatically rupture when the air pressure reaches the threshold value to allow the gas to be discharged without the need for additional manual operation.
