二次电池(Rechargeable battery)又称为充电电池或蓄电池,是指在电池放电后可通过充电的方式使活性物质激活而继续使用的电池。二次电池的可循环利用特性使其逐渐成为用电设备的主要动力来源,随着二次电池的需求量逐渐增大,人们对其可靠性有了更高的要求。
电池的极柱的一端连接法兰,另一端用于连接电池内部的电极组件。然而,目前的极柱结构容易出现集中发热问题,影响极柱的可靠性。
发明内容
本申请提供一种极柱组件,极柱组件工作时发热均匀,不容易出现集中发热问题。
极柱组件包括第一极柱以及连接于第一极柱的一端的第一法兰;第一极柱包括堆叠且连接的第一构件和第二构件,第二构件连接第一法兰;第一构件的材质和第二构件的材质不同,第一构件与第二构件的连接界面为曲面;第一极柱用于连接储能装置的电极组件,第一法兰用于连接第一母排。
可以理解的是,在本申请实施例中,第一极柱的第一构件和第二构件的连接界面为波浪形界面,使得第一极柱在工作时,第一构件和第二构件的连接界面能够均匀发热,从而可以避免由于第一构件和第二构件的材质不同而导致的连接界面集中发热的问题。并且,相比于第一构件和第二构件的连接界面为平面的方案,本申请实施例中的第一构件与第二构件的接触面为曲面,第一构件与第二构件的接触面积较大,第一构件与第二构件之间的导电性能较好(也即,铜层和铝层的接触面积较大,铜层和铝层之间的导电性能较好),从而储能装置的可靠性较好。
本申请还提供一种储能装置,储能装置包括壳体和端盖组件,端盖组件安装于壳体且密封壳体的开口;
端盖组件包括顶盖、下塑胶以及如上述的极柱组件;顶盖具有第一通孔,下塑胶具有第一极柱通孔,下塑胶位于顶盖的一侧,且与顶盖层叠并连接,第一极柱通孔与第一通孔正对设置,第一极柱穿设于第一通孔和第一极柱通孔;第一通孔的形状和第一极柱通孔的形状与第一极柱的第一部分的形状相匹配。
可以理解的是,第一部分用于穿设第一通孔和第一极柱通孔并与顶盖配合连接,相比于极柱为圆柱形的方案,本申请中通过将第一极柱设置为多边形柱,并将第一通孔的形状和第一极柱通孔的形状也设置成与第一极柱对应的形状,使得第一极柱与顶盖配合连接时,第一极柱不容易相对顶盖转动,提高了第一极柱的抗扭强度,有利于防止下塑胶位于第一极柱和顶盖本体之间的部分被切割。
本申请还提供一种用电设备,其包括上述的储能装置,储能装置用于储存电能。
本申请还提供一种极柱组件的第一极柱的制作方法,极柱组件包括第一极柱,第一极柱包括堆叠且连接的第一构件和第二构件,第一构件的材质和第二构件的材质不同,第一构件与第二构件的连接界面为曲面;

具体实施方式
下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本申请一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本申请保护的范围。
请参阅图1,图1为本申请实施例提供的储能装置1000的应用场景图。本申请实施例提供的储能装置1000应用于一种储能系统,该储能系统包括电能转换装置2000(光伏板)、风能转换装置3000(风机)、电网4000以及储能装置1000,该储能装置1000可作为储能柜,可以安装于室外。具体的,电能转换装置2000(光伏板)可以在电价低谷时期将太阳能转换为电能,储能装置1000用于储存该电能并在用电高峰时供给电网4000,或者在电网4000断电/停电时进行供电。风能转换装置3000(风机)可以将风能转换为电能,储能装置1000用于储存该电能并在用电高峰时供给电网4000,或者在电网4000断电/停电时进行供电。其中,电能的传输可以采用高压线缆进行传输。

本申请实施例仅以储能装置1000为多芯电池为例进行说明。
请参阅图2,图2为图1所示的储能装置1000的立体结构示意图。
在一些实施例中,储能装置1000包括壳体400、端盖组件100和电极组件(图未示),壳体400具有开口并设有容纳腔,壳体400的容纳腔连通壳体400的开口。电极组件容纳于容纳腔。端盖组件100装于壳体400,且密封于壳体400的开口。端盖组件100装于电极组件的一端并与电极组件电连接。为方便描述,定义图2所示端盖组件100的长度方向为X轴方向,端盖组件100的宽度方向为Y轴方向,端盖组件100的厚度方向为Z轴方向,X轴方向、Y轴方向和Z轴方向两两相互垂直。本申请实施例描述所提及的“上”、“下”等方位用词是依据说明书附图2所示方位进行的描述,以朝向Z轴正方向为“上”,以朝向Z轴负方向为“下”,其并不形成对储能装置1000于实际应用场景中的限定。以下文中所用到的“相同”、“垂直”均允许有一定的公差存在。
请结合参阅图3、图4和图5,图3为图2所示的端盖组件100的结构示意图,图4为图3所示的端盖组件100的部分结构分解示意图,图5为图3所示的端盖组件100的另一角度的部分结构分解示意图。
在本实施例中,端盖组件100包括顶盖10、下塑胶20、第一极柱30、第二极柱40、第一压环51和第二压环52。本实施例中的顶盖10为光铝件,下塑胶20为塑料材质制成且绝缘。下塑胶20安装于顶盖10的一侧。第一极柱30和第二极柱40用于与电极组件电连接。示例性的,第一极柱30的一端连接有第一法兰31。第二极柱40的一端连接有第二法兰41。需要说明的是,第一极柱30可以为正极极柱,第二极柱40可以为负极极柱,第一法兰31为正极法兰,第二法兰41为负极法兰;或者,第一极柱30可以为负极极柱,第二极柱40可以为正极极柱,第一法兰31为负极法兰,第二法兰41为正极法兰。
本申请实施例中以第一极柱30为负极极柱、第一法兰31为负极法兰为例进行说明。其中,第一极柱30为复合极柱,第一极柱30和第一法兰31共同组成极柱组件。可以理解的是,复合极柱至少包括两种不同的材质。复合极柱可以是由包含至少两种不同的材质的复合板通过冲压工艺成型,也可以通过至少两种不同的材质通过注塑成型等。本申请不对复合极柱的结构和成型工艺做限定。其中,第二极柱40可以为复合极柱,也可以仅包含一种材质。
示例性的,顶盖10包括顶盖本体11、防爆阀14和注液孔15。顶盖本体11为长条形薄板,沿顶盖本体11厚度方向(也即,Z轴方向),其包括正面111和与正面111背对设置的背面112。顶盖10具有第一通孔12和第二通孔13。第一通孔12和第二通孔13均贯穿顶盖本体11的正面111和背面112,也即第一通孔12和第二通孔13均贯穿顶盖本体11。第一通孔12和第二通孔13分别设于顶盖本体11的相对两端(沿着X轴方向排列),用于供第一极柱30和第二极柱40穿过。
示例性的,第一通孔12和第二通孔13均呈六边形,用于与第一极柱30和第二极柱40的形状配合。这样,第一极柱30和第二极柱40与顶盖10连接时,第一极柱30和第二极柱40不容易相对顶盖10转动,有利于提高第一极柱30和第二极柱40的抗扭强度。在本申请实施例中,第一通孔12和第二通孔13可以对应第一极柱30的形状改变,第一通孔12和第二通孔13可以为除六边形外的其他多边形、圆形或异形等,本申请对此不做限定。
示例性的,沿顶盖10的长度方向,也就是X轴方向,第二通孔13、注液孔15、防爆阀14及第一通孔12依次间隔排列。防爆阀14位于顶盖本体11中部位置,当储能装置1000内部压力过大时,防爆阀14会自动打开泄压,以防止出现爆炸的情况。注液孔15位于第二通孔13和防爆阀14之间,在动力电池的注液工序中,通过顶盖10上的注液孔15向电池内注入电解液。
请结合参阅图5、图6A和图6B,图6A为图4所示的第一极柱30和第一法兰31的结构示意图,图6B为图6A所示的第一极柱30和第一法兰31的一角度剖开后的部分结构示意图。
在本实施例中,第一极柱30至少部分为六边形柱。可以理解的是,第一极柱30可以部分为六边形柱,第一极柱30也可以全部为六边形柱。示例性的,第一极柱30包括第一部分301和第二部分302。图6B中采用虚线示意性区分了第一部分301、第二部分302和第一法兰31。第二部分302连接于第一部分301的一侧表面,且第一部分301和第二部分302同轴设置。其中,第一部分301为六边形柱。例如,第一部分301可以为正六边形柱,第一部分301相对第一极柱30的中心轴线O1-O1呈中心对称结构。第二部分302为圆柱体。在第一极柱30的高度方向(也即,Z轴方向)上,第二部分302的投影面积小于第一部分301的投影面积。其中,第一部分301用于穿设第一通孔12并与顶盖10配合连接以获得较高的抗扭强度,第二部分302用于与第一压环51配合连接。第二部分302还用于与储能装置1000的电极组件电连接,一些示例中,第二部分302可以通过连接片与储能装置1000的电极组件电连接。
在本实施例中,第一法兰31为圆柱体。第一法兰31用于与第一母排(Busbar)连接。第一母排可以为负极母排。第一法兰31位于第一部分301背向第二部分302的一侧,且连接第一部分301。第一部分301可以位于第一法兰31的中部。第一极柱30和第一法兰31为一体成型的结构件。第一极柱30和第一法兰31可以采用冲压工艺成型。这样,第一极柱30和第一法兰31之间的导电性能较好且不容易产生集中发热问题,并且第一极柱30和第一法兰31的成型工艺较为简单、成本较低。
在一些实施例中,第一极柱30包括堆叠且连接的第一构件33和第二构件34。示例性的,第一构件33和第二构件34沿第一极柱30的厚度方向(Z轴方向)排布。其中,第一构件33用于连接储能装置1000的电极组件。第二构件34背向第一构件33的一侧表面连接第一法兰31。其中,第二构件34与第一法兰31为一体成型的结构件。
示例性的,第一极柱30的第一部分301由部分第一构件33和部分第二构件34共同组成。也即,第一部分301包括部分第一构件33和部分第二构件34。第一极柱30的第二部分302可以由另一部分第一构件33和部分第二构件34共同组成。也即,第二部分302包括另一部分第一构件33和另一部分第二构件34。其中,第一构件33在第二部分302的部分用于连接储能装置1000的电极组件。当然,在其他实施例中,第一部分301由部分第一构件33和全部第二构件34共同组成。也即,第一部分301包括部分第一构件33和全部第二构件34。第一极柱30的第二部分302也可以仅由第一构件33形成,也即第二部分302仅包括另一部分第一构件33。
在本申请实施例中,第一构件33的材质和第二构件34的材质不同。其中,第二构件34的材质与第一法兰31的材质相同。
示例性的,第一构件33的材质为铜。可以理解的是,储能装置1000中用于电连接电极组件和第一极柱30的连接片一般采用铜材。当第一构件33在第二部分302中的部分通过连接片与储能装置1000的电极组件连接时,由于第一构件33的材质与连接片的材质均为铜,使得第一极柱30与连接片之间激光焊接的可靠性较好,第一极柱30不容易从连接片上脱落,从而可以保证第一极柱30与储能装置1000内部的电极组件之间的导电性能,有利于提高储能装置1000的可靠性。
在本申请中,第一构件33的材质与储能装置1000内部用于连接电极组件和第二部分302的连接片的材质相同。因此,当连接片的材质改变(例如采用铜以外的金属材料)时,第一构件33的材质可以随连接片的材质对应改变。
在本申请实施例中,第二构件34的材质和第一法兰31的材质均为铝。可以理解的是,为降低成本,电池的第一母排一般采用铝材。当第一法兰31与第一母排连接时,由于第一法兰31的材质与第一母排均为铝,第一法兰31与第一母排之间激光焊接的可靠性较好,第一法兰31不容易从第一母排上脱落,从而可以保证第一极柱30与第一母排之间的导电性能,有利于提高储能装置1000的可靠性。
在本申请中,第二构件34的材质和第一法兰31的材质与第一母排的材质相同。因此,当第一母排的材质改变(例如采用铝以外的金属材料)时,第二构件34的材质和第一法兰31的材质可以随第一母排的材质对应改变。
可以理解的是,在本申请实施例中,铜层由第二部分302延伸至第一部分301,此时第一极柱30的铜材面积较大,第一极柱30的导电性能较好。并且,由于铜的加热速度小于铝的加热速度,通过增大第一极柱30的铜材的面积,并减少铝材的面积,使得第一极柱30不容易发热,有利于提高储能装置1000的可靠性。
在本实施例中,第一构件33与第二构件34的连接界面为曲面。可以理解的是,本申请通过将第一构件33和第二构件34的连接界面设置为波浪形界面,使得第一极柱30在工作时,第一构件33和第二构件34的连接界面能够均匀发热,从而可以避免由于第一构件33和第二构件34的材质不同而导致的连接界面集中发热的问题。并且,相比于第一构件33和第二构件34的连接界面为平面的方案,本申请实施例中的第一构件33与第二构件34的接触面为曲面,第一构件33与第二构件34的接触面积较大,第一构件33与第二构件34之间的导电性能较好(也即,铜层和铝层的接触面积较大,铜层和铝层之间的导电性能较好),从而储能装置1000的可靠性较好。
在本实施例中,第一极柱30的第一部分301包括朝向第二部分302且连接第二部分302的第一顶面3011。第一部分301还包括依次连接的六个第一侧面3012,六个第一侧面3012均连接第一顶面3011。六个第一侧面3012相对第一极柱30的中心轴线O1-O1呈中心对称分布。
其中,第一顶面3011为第一构件33远离第一法兰31的一侧表面。六个第一侧面3012中的每个第一侧面3012的一部分位于第一构件33,六个第一侧面3012中的每个第一侧面3012的另一部分位于第二构件34。也即,第一构件33包括第一部分301的每个第一侧面3012的一部分,第二构件34包括第一部分301的每个第一侧面3012的另一部分。
在第一极柱30的厚度方向(Z轴方向)上,第一构件33在相邻两个第一侧面3012的连接处的长度,大于第一构件33在每个第一侧面3012的长度。也即,在相邻两个第一侧面3012的连接处的铜材面积大于每个第一侧面3012的铜材面积。可以理解的是,由于铜的加热速度小于铝的加热速度,通过增大相邻两个第一侧面3012的连接处铜的面积,并减少铝的面积,使得在相邻两个第一侧面3012的连接处不容易发热,有利于提高储能装置1000的可靠性。
在本实施例中,六个第一侧面3012中相邻两个第一侧面3012之间均进行倒圆角处理,也即,六个第一侧面3012中相邻两个第一侧面3012之间均圆滑过渡。这样,在第一极柱30制程中,可以减轻对模具的磨损,同时有利于材料流动,提高第一极柱30的制程良率;另外,还可以减少第一极柱30冲压过程中的材料流动阻力,第一部分301不容易发生铜层破裂而导致出现铝层以及铝粉铜层的情况。示例性的,相邻两个第一侧面3012的连接处进行倒圆角处理,并形成倒角R01,也即,六个第一侧面3012中相邻两个第一侧面3012之间均圆滑过渡。倒角R01的半径在0.5mm至5.0mm范围内。例如,倒角R01的半径可以在1.5mm至2.5mm范围内。
在本实施例中,第一顶面3011与第一侧面3012的连接处进行倒圆角处理。示例性的,第一顶面3011与六个第一侧面3012中的每个第一侧面3012均进行倒圆角处理,也即,第一顶面3011与每个第一侧面3012之间均圆滑过渡。这样,可以降低第一极柱30的制程难度,有利于第一极柱30制程中的材料流动。示例性的,第一顶面3011和第一侧面3012的连接处形成倒角R02。倒角R02的半径在0.1mm至1mm范围内。例如,倒角R02的半径在0.25mm至0.5mm范围内。
在本实施例中,沿第一法兰31向第一极柱30的方向(也即沿第一部分301向第二部分302的方向),第一侧面3012朝向第一极柱30的中心倾斜。示例性的,六个第一侧面3012中的每个第一侧面3012均与Z轴呈夹角设置。此时,第一部分301的第一顶面3011的面积小于第一部分301背向第二部分302的表面的面积。这样,在第一极柱30制程中可以减轻对模具的磨损,同时有利于材料流动,提高第一极柱30的制程良率;另外,还可以减少第一极柱30从第二部分302向第一部分301方向冲压过程中的材料流动阻力,第一部分301不容易发生铜层破裂而导致出现铝层以及铝粉铜层的情况。示例性的,第一侧面3012与第一极柱30的厚度方向(也即Z轴)的夹角在0.05°至5°范围内。例如,第一侧面3012与Z轴的夹角在1°至3°范围内。
请结合参阅图5、图7A和图7B,图7A为图4所示的第二极柱40和第二法兰41的结构示意图,图7B为图7A所示的第二极柱40和第二法兰41的一角度剖开后的部分结构示意图。在一些实施例中,第二极柱40至少部分为六边形柱。可以理解的是,第二极柱40可以部分为六边形柱,第二极柱40也可以全部为六边形柱。示例性的,第二极柱40包括第三部分401和第四部分402。图7B中采用虚线示意性区分了第三部分401、第四部分402和第二法兰41。第四部分402连接于第三部分401的一侧表面,且第三部分401和第四部分402同轴设置。其中,第四部分402可以与储能装置1000的电极组件电连接。
其中,第三部分401为六边形柱。例如,第三部分401可以为正六边形柱,第三部分401相对第二极柱40的中心轴线O2-O2呈中心对称结构。第四部分402为圆柱体。在第二极柱40的高度方向(也即,Z轴方向)上,第四部分402的投影面积小于第三部分401的投影面积。其中,第三部分401用于穿设第二通孔13并与顶盖10配合连接以获得较高的抗扭强度,第四部分402用于与第二压环52配合连接。第二部分302还用于与储能装置1000的电极组件电连接。
在本实施例中,第二法兰41为圆柱体。第二法兰41用于连接第二母排。第二母排可以为正极母排。第二法兰41位于第三部分401背向第四部分402的一侧,且连接第三部分401。第三部分401可以位于第二法兰41的中部。第二极柱40和第二法兰41为一体成型的结构件,第二极柱40和第二法兰41可以采用冲压工艺成型。
示例性的,第二极柱40的第三部分401包括朝向第四部分402连接第四部分402的第二顶面4011。第三部分401还包括依次连接的六个第二侧面4012,六个第二侧面4012均连接第二顶面4011。六个第二侧面4012相对第二极柱40的中心轴线O2-O2呈中心对称分布。
在本实施例中,六个第二侧面4012中相邻两个第二侧面4012之间均进行倒圆角处理,也即,六个第二侧面4012中相邻两个第二侧面4012之间均圆滑过渡。这样,在第二极柱40制程中,可以减少对模具的磨损,同时有利于材料流动,提高第二极柱40的制程良率;另外,还可以减少第二极柱40冲压过程中的材料流动阻力,第三部分401的表层不容易发生破裂。
示例性的,相邻两个第二侧面4012进行倒圆角处理,并形成倒角R03,也即,六个第二侧面4012中相邻两个第二侧面4012之间均圆滑过渡。倒角R03的半径在0.5mm至5.0mm范围内。例如,倒角R03的半径可以在1.5mm至2.5mm范围内。
在本实施例中,第二顶面4011与第二侧面4012的连接处进行倒圆角处理,也即,第二顶面4011与第二侧面4012之间圆滑过渡。这样,可以降低第二极柱40的制程难度,有利于第二极柱40制程中的材料流动。示例性的,第二顶面4011和第二侧面4012的连接处形成倒角R04。倒角R04的半径在0.1mm至1mm范围内。例如,倒角R04的半径在0.25mm至0.5mm范围内。
在本实施例中,沿第二法兰41向第二极柱40的方向(也即沿第三部分401向第四部分402的方向),第二侧面4012朝向第二极柱40的中心倾斜,也即,第三部分401的第二顶面4011的面积小于第三部分401背向第四部分402的表面的面积。这样,在第二极柱40制程中,可以减少对模具的磨损,同时有利于材料流动,提高第二极柱40制程良率;另外,还可以减少第二极柱40冲压过程中的材料流动阻力,第三部分401的表层不容易发生破裂。示例性的,第二侧面4012与Z轴的夹角在0.05°至5°范围内。例如,第二侧面4012与Z轴的夹角在1°至3°范围内。
在其他一些实施例中,第一极柱30的至少部分和第二极柱40的至少部分也可以为四边形柱、八边形柱等多边形柱结构,或者圆形柱、异形柱等结构。可以理解的是,多边形柱结构可以是正多边形柱结构,例如正四边形柱、正八边形柱等;多边形柱结构也可以不是正多边形柱结构,例如可以通过切割去除正四边形柱的四个角,以形成具有四个短边和四个长边的八边形柱。
在其他一些实施例中,还可以通过对圆柱形的第一极柱30和第二极柱40沿高度方向进行切割形成一个或多个平面。这样,第一极柱30和第二极柱40与顶盖10配合连接时,不容易相对顶盖10转动,提高第一极柱30和第二极柱40的抗扭强度。例如,通过对圆柱形的第一极柱30和第二极柱40沿高度方向进行切割形成呈中心对称的四个平面。这样,第一极柱30和第二极柱40的抗扭转效果较好、加工工序较少。

在本实施例中,下塑胶20与顶盖10层叠并连接。下塑胶20的长度与顶盖10的长度相当,下塑胶20的宽度与顶盖10的宽度相当,其中允许有一定的公差范围。下塑胶20位于顶盖本体11的背面112背向正面111的一侧,且与顶盖10层叠并连接。示例性的,下塑胶20的第一表面211与顶盖本体11的背面112相对并贴合。沿顶盖10的厚度方向(Z轴方向),下塑胶20的第一极柱通孔22与顶盖10的第一通孔12相对设置并相互连通,第二极柱通孔23与顶盖10的第二通孔13相对设置并相互连通。

在本实施例中,第二上塑胶62套设于第二极柱40的周缘和第二压环52的周缘,并与顶盖本体11的正面111连接。示例性的,第二上塑胶62的第二内环部622环绕第二极柱40,且夹持在第二通孔13与第二极柱40之间。第二上塑胶62的第二外环部623套设于第二法兰41,第二法兰41与第二外环部623和第二主体部621均连接。图9中采用虚线示意性区分了第二主体部621、第二内环部622和第二外环部623。

上文中主要介绍了储能装置1000的各部件(包括顶盖10、下塑胶20、第一极柱30、第二极柱40等)的结构以及储能装置1000的各部件之间的连接方式。其中,第一极柱30和第一法兰31可以通过冲压工艺形成一体成型的结构件,且第一极柱30(也即复合极柱)包括材质不同的第一构件33和第二构件34。下文将结合相关附图对第一极柱30和第一法兰31的成型工艺(也即极柱组件的成型工艺)。
请结合参阅图10和图11,图10为图6A所示的第一极柱30和第一法兰31在一些实施例中的制作步骤示意图,图11为图6A所示的第一极柱30和第一法兰31在一些实施例中的制作过程图。
S100:在铜铝复合板上进行下料,以形成第一坯料30a。
在本申请实施例中,第一坯料30a包括沿坯料的厚度方向排布且连接的铜层33a和铝层34a,并且铜层33a的厚度小于铝层34a的厚度,第一极柱30的用铜量少、成本低,且第一极柱30的重量小。第一坯料30a呈多边形柱。示例性的,第一坯料30a呈正六边形柱。相比第一坯料30a为圆柱形的方案,在本申请中,第一坯料30a为正六边形柱,使得铜铝复合板上的下料位置之间更加靠近,从而铜铝复合板可以具有更多的下料位置,铜铝复合板的材料利用率可以得到提高。
S200:在S100之后,对第一坯料30a进行冲压,以在第一坯料30a上形成第一极柱30的第一构件33(或第一极柱30的第二部分302)。也即,形成第二坯料30b。第一极柱30的第一构件33(或第一极柱30的第二部分302)的制作工艺简单,制程良率高。图11中采用虚线示意性区分出了第二部分302。
在本申请实施例中,第一坯料30a在外力的挤压下,铜层压溃往四周流动,第一坯料30a的厚度减小,从而在S200后形成的第二坯料30b的厚度小于第一坯料30a的厚度,并且,第二坯料30b的铜层的厚度大于或等于第一坯料30a的铜层厚度。这样,第一极柱30的铜层可以由第二部分302延伸至第一部分301,使得第一极柱30的铜层的面积较大,第一极柱30的导电性能较好。并且,由于铜的加热速度小于铝的加热速度,通过增大第一极柱30的铜材的面积,并减少铝材的面积,使得第一极柱30不容易发热,有利于提高储能装置1000的可靠性。
示例性的,第二部分302呈圆柱形。第二部分302的外表面的材质为铜。这样,当第二部分302通过连接片与储能装置1000的电极组件连接时,由于第二部分302的材质与连接片的材质均为铜,第二部分302与连接片之间激光焊接的可靠性较好,第二部分302不容易从连接片上脱落,从而可以保证第一极柱30与储能装置1000内部的电极组件之间的导电性能,有利于提高储能装置1000的可靠性。
S300:在S200之后,对第二坯料30b进行冲压,以在第二坯料30b上形成第一极柱30的第二构件34(或第一极柱30的第一部分301)、以及与第二构件34连接的第三部分31a。也即,形成第三坯料30c。第一极柱30的第二构件34(或第一极柱30的第一部分301)的制作工艺简单,制程良率高。图11中采用虚线示意性区分了第一部分301、第二部分302和第三部分31a。
在申请实施例中,在形成第二构件34之后,再通过施加较大的压力挤压第二坯料30b的铝层,使铝层压溃往四周流动,第二坯料30b的厚度减小并形成第一构件33和第三部分31a。其中,挤压第二坯料30b的压力在30-50吨的范围内,例如,40吨。
示例性的,第一极柱30包括堆叠且连接的第一构件33和第二构件34。示例性的,第一构件33和第二构件34沿第一极柱30的厚度方向(Z轴方向)排布。第一构件33的材质和第二构件34的材质不同且第一构件33和第二构件34的连接界面为曲面,使得第一极柱30在工作时,第一构件33和第二构件34的连接界面能够均匀发热,从而可以避免由于第一构件33和第二构件34的材质不同而导致的连接界面集中发热的问题。并且,第一构件33与第二构件34的接触面积较大,铜层和铝层的接触面积较大,铜层和铝层之间的导电性能较好,从而储能装置1000的可靠性较好。
S400:在S300之后,对第三坯料30c进行切削,以形成第一极柱30和第一法兰31。图11中采用虚线示意性区分了第一部分301、第二部分302和第一法兰31。
示例性的,在第二坯料30b上形成第一部分301和与第一部分301连接的第三部分31a之后,对第三部分31a进行切削,以形成圆柱形的外形,也即形成第一法兰31。可以理解的是,第一极柱30和第一法兰31通过至少两次冲压工艺成型。示例性的,第一极柱30和第一法兰31通过两次冲压工艺成型。第一法兰31的成型工艺在第一极柱30的成型工艺之后。这样,第一法兰31的成型工艺较为简单,且第一极柱30和第一法兰31的成型良率较高。
其中,第一法兰31的材质与第二构件34的材质相同,第一法兰31的材质和第二构件34的材质均为铝。这样,当第一法兰31与第一母排连接时,由于第一法兰31的材质与第一母排均为铝,第一法兰31与第一母排之间激光焊接的可靠性较好,第一法兰31不容易从第一母排上脱落,从而可以保证第一法兰31与第一母排之间的导电性能,有利于提高储能装置1000的可靠性。
在一些实施例中,在S400之后,还可以对第一极柱30和第一法兰31进行清洗,以清除第一极柱30和第一法兰31表面的灰尘、杂质和金属屑,以避免灰尘、杂质和金属屑等影响第一极柱30和第一法兰31的导电性能,从而影响储能装置1000的可靠性。
可以理解的是,本申请中提供的用于制作第一极柱30和第一法兰31的方法还可以适用于一些类似第一极柱30和第一法兰31的结构,本申请对此不作限定。
请结合参阅图11、图12和图13,图12为图11所示的第一极柱30和第一法兰31制程中的一个状态下的示意图,图13为图11所示的第一极柱30和第一法兰31制程中的另一个状态下的示意图。示例性的,图12示意了第一坯料30a在冷镦-合模前的状态,图13示意了第一坯料30a在冷镦-合模后形成第二坯料30b的状态。
在本申请实施例中,第一极柱30和第一法兰31可以在冲压设备上形成。示例性的,冲压设备包括凸模、凹模、脱落镶件和弹簧。其中,凹模具有预设形状的凹槽,通过对坯料施加压力,使得坯料材料发生流动以填充凹模的凹槽,从而坯料可以在凸模和凹模的相互配合下被冲压形成预设的形状。其中,脱落镶件和弹簧可以使得冲压后的坯料从凹模脱离。
在本申请实施例中,在外力的作用下,第一坯料30a在凸模和凹模的配合下,铜层33a压溃往四周流动,形成第二坯料30b。示例性的,第二坯料30b的厚度小于第一坯料30a的厚度。第一坯料30a的铜层的最大厚度小于或等于第二坯料30b的铜层的最大厚度。也即,第二坯料30b的铜层覆盖面积大于或等于第一坯料30a的铜层覆盖面积。这样,第一极柱30的铜层可以由第二部分302延伸至第一部分301,使得第一极柱30的铜层的面积较大,第一极柱30的导电性能较好。并且,由于铜的加热速度小于铝的加热速度,通过增大第一极柱30的铜的面积,并减少铝的面积,使得第一极柱30不容易发热,有利于提高储能装置1000的可靠性。
请结合参阅图11、图13和图14,图14为图11所示的第一极柱30和第一法兰31制程中的另一个状态下的示意图。示例性的,图14示意了第二坯料30b在冷镦-合模后形成第三坯料30c的状态。
示例性的,在形成第二坯料30b后,施加较大的压力挤压第二坯料30b的铝层,第二坯料30b在凸膜和凹膜的配合下,铝层压溃往四周流动,形成第三坯料30c。其中,挤压第二坯料30b的压力在30-50吨的范围内,例如,40吨。示例性的,第三坯料30c的厚度小于第二坯料30b的厚度。
示例性的,第三坯料30c包括堆叠且连接的第一构件33和第二构件34。第一构件33的材质和第二构件34的材质不同且第一构件33和第二构件34的连接界面为曲面,使得第一极柱30在工作时,第一构件33和第二构件34的连接界面能够均匀发热,从而可以避免由于第一构件33和第二构件34的材质不同而导致的连接界面集中发热的问题。并且,第一构件33与第二构件34的接触面积较大,铜层和铝层的接触面积较大,铜层和铝层之间的导电性能较好,从而储能装置1000的可靠性较好。
