Background technology
Day by day perfect along with technology, the universal huge business opportunity that lies dormant of pure electric automobile, this just has higher requirement to large capacity vehicle mounted dynamic battery, the quality of its performance, particularly inside battery capacity usage ratio occupies an important position.
The common battery of structure of battery is divided into sealing cell and open-type battery by opening mode, and for lithium-ion-power cell, it belongs to sealing cell.Along with slimming and the lightweight of electronic product, according to the needs of power consumption equipment and space, to battery, assembling is very important than carrying out reasonable design, and meanwhile, the assembling of battery is compared directly affects the performance of battery.
For lithium-ion-power cell, mainly battery core and housing and crowded ear, consist of, wherein, battery core is comprised of positive plate, negative plate, barrier film, electrolyte.The assembling mode major part that lithium-ion-power cell adopts is at present to be combined into an integral body by one or more battery cores, and within putting into the housing of battery.
The assembling ratio of battery, namely the elasticity of battery core is very large, concrete on battery performance impact, and the elasticity of battery core is presented as the distance size between positive/negative plate.When the elasticity tension of battery core, the distance between positive/negative plate is less, is unfavorable for the process and assemble of battery, and pole plate, barrier film are wetting more difficult, and discharge voltage is low, and capacity is low; When the elasticity of battery core is crossed pine, the distance between positive/negative plate is larger, has not only reduced specific capacity, also can make battery excessive expansion, affects battery life.
In order to assemble according to suitable assembling comparison battery, people consider that the mode of calculating by theory is to assembling than estimating, for example, according to volume core thickness, calculate assembling ratio with the business of inner chamber body thickness, yet, assembling in actual production has relation than negative pole system (negative plate bounce-back), chemical synthesis technology, equipment actual pressure with battery and the factor such as whether vacuumize, and therefore, only relies on simple theory calculating to be difficult to draw accurate conclusion.
In addition, because the area of the square casing side of high-capacity lithium-ion power battery is larger, therefore its meteorism resistent ability is poor, when battery expands, the battery pole piece of battery core inside can not get strong constraint, now can cause pole piece too loose, ionic conduction power between pole piece reduces, the utilance that can cause active material is on the low side, the contraction bulging of pole piece in battery charge and discharge process, cause surface very easily to go offline, cycle life shortens, affect safety, in order to improve expansion issues, elasticity in the time of can adjustment assembly, yet, if pole piece is too tight, can produce and be difficult to into shell again, assembling is inconvenient, and pole plate, barrier film is wetting more difficult, discharge voltage is low, the problems such as capacity is low.

In the embodiment of the present invention, elastic plate 400 is arranged between battery core 100 and housing 200, when there is the situation of expansion in battery, elastic plate 400 is subject to the squeezing action of battery core 100 and produces distortion, and therefore, it is large that the tension force of 400 pairs of battery cores 100 of elastic plate becomes, thereby the positive/negative plate in battery core 100 is played to certain constraint effect, under the constraint effect of mentioned strain, can improve the problem that originally caused the distance between positive/negative plate to increase due to cell expansion, thereby improve the serviceability of battery.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of elastic plate 400 can be more than 1 or 1.Preferably, the number of described elastic plate 400 is 2, and 2 elastic plates 400 are oppositely arranged on respectively between described surface of shell long-pending maximum side and battery core.In lithium-ion-power cell, for the larger side of surface area, the ability of its anti-expansion is poor, when the situation of expansion appears in battery in its use procedure, the change of distance between positive/negative plate is larger, larger on the serviceability impact of battery, therefore, by two sides in battery table area maximum, elastic plate is set, can more effectively improves the assembling ratio causing due to cell expansion and occur situation about changing, thereby improve the serviceability of battery.When the volume of lithium-ion-power cell is larger, when the poor side of its anti-swelliong power is more, also can elastic plate be set respectively in above-mentioned a plurality of sides.In addition, for the tension force that elastic plate 400 deformation produce can be regulated the distance between positive/negative plate effectively, the component of the tension force that elastic plate 400 produces due to deformation in the perpendicular direction in the surface with positive/negative plate is greater than 0.Preferably, elastic plate 400 produces the direction of deformation perpendicular to the surface of positive/negative plate, thereby tension force that deformation produces can be acted on positive/negative plate most effectively, with the distance between positive/negative plate, regulates.
Below in conjunction with Figure of description, the structure of embodiment of the present invention Elastic plate 400 is described.
As shown in Figure 1, elastic plate 400 comprises planar section 10 and coupling part 20, described planar section 10 fits with the outside of described battery core 100, described coupling part 20 is connected to the two ends of described planar section 10, and one end of described coupling part 20 is connected to described planar section 10, the other end of described coupling part 20 contacts with described housing 200; Wherein, 20 employings of described coupling part can produce elastically-deformable material and make, so that the thickness of elastic plate 400 can change with the distance in gap between the deformation of described battery core 100 or described battery core 100 and described housing 200, thereby adjust positive plate in described battery core 100 and the distance between negative plate, wherein thickness refers to the width that elastic plate 400 has in the direction perpendicular to planar section 10, as shown in D1 in Fig. 1, the side namely arranging at elastic plate 400 places, the distance between the outside of battery core 100 and the inner side of housing 200.
As shown in Figure 1, described coupling part 20 is flat shape.In addition, coupling part 20 also can adopt other shape.Refer to Fig. 2, the structural representation of the another kind of lithium-ion-power cell providing for the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figure 2, coupling part 20 is curve form, and described planar section 10 and described coupling part 20 are tangent connection.By the coupling part of flat shape, avoided the contact-making surface between elastic plate and battery core too sharp-pointed, also avoided due to sharp-pointed the caused risk that may puncture battery core inner pole piece, thus the practicality and the fail safe that have improved elastic plate.
Refer to Fig. 3, the structural representation of another lithium-ion-power cell providing for the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figure 3, elastic plate 400 comprises the first planar section 40, the second planar section 50 and coupling part 60, wherein, described the first planar section 40 fits with the outside of described battery core 100, and described the first planar section 40 fits with the inner side of described housing 200; Described coupling part 60 is connected between described the first planar section 40 and the second planar section 50, or one section is connected to described the first planar section 40 and the other end contacts with the inner side of described housing 200; Wherein, described coupling part 60 adopts and can produce elastically-deformable material and make, so that the thickness of elastic plate 400 can change with the distance in gap between the deformation of described battery core 100 or described battery core 100 and described housing 200.When the less thick of elastic plate 400, the tension force of 400 pairs of battery cores 100 of elastic plate will become large, thereby the positive/negative plate in battery core 100 is played to certain constraint effect, under the constraint effect of mentioned strain, can improve the problem that originally caused the distance between positive/negative plate to increase due to cell expansion, in the situation that battery core 100 expands, the tension force that the deformation of elastic plate 400 provides can reduce positive plate in described battery core 100 and the distance between negative plate, thereby suppressed to assemble in battery the variation of ratio, improved the serviceability of battery.
In Fig. 3, take described coupling part 60, to be flat shapes be illustrated as example.In addition, coupling part 60 can be also other shapes, and for example, coupling part 60 can be curve form, and between coupling part 60 and described the first planar section 40 for being tangently connected, be tangent connection between coupling part 60 and described the second planar section 50.
Preferably, as shown in Figure 3, in elastic plate 400, can comprise a plurality of periodic structures, each periodic structure comprises above-mentioned the first planar section 40, the second planar section 50 and coupling part 60.
Need to illustrate, the structure of the elastic plate 400 in the embodiment of the present invention shown in Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 is only exemplary illustration, and under the prerequisite of function that realizes elastic plate 400, elastic plate 400 can adopt other structure.
The embodiment of the present invention, preferably, described coupling part adopts metal material or plastic material to make.At elastic plate, by deformation, provide in the process of variable tension force, the part that deformation occurs is mainly the coupling part in elastic plate, can there is not deformation in its planar section (comprising above-mentioned the first planar section and the second planar section), therefore, coupling part in elastic plate need adopt and can produce elastically-deformable material, produce elastically-deformable material and can produce deformation being squeezed, and return to original shape when extruding disappears.In addition, for the convenience of processing, planar section in elastic plate (comprising above-mentioned the first planar section and the second planar section) can adopt identical material with coupling part, in addition, the planar section in elastic plate (comprising above-mentioned the first planar section and the second planar section) also can adopt other material.
Preferably, above-mentioned metal material is stainless steel 304 or titanium alloy T R90; Above-mentioned plastic material is a kind of in perfluoroethylene-propylene (copolymer) PFA, ethene, TFE copolymer FEP or Kynoar FEP.
In addition, elastic plate can produce deformation being squeezed, its shape becomes thickness and reduces, and is appreciated that when thickness of elastic plates reduces, its length (length in the direction vertical with thickness direction, as shown in D2 in Fig. 1) will become large, therefore, when elastic plate is set, between the two ends of elastic plate and the inner side of housing, need a reserved gap, thereby provide space for the deformation of elastic plate.
In the embodiment of the present invention, can adopt graphite as negative material, be mixed and made into by a certain percentage cathode size with water, conductive agent, binding agent etc., coat Copper Foil and make negative plate; Can adopt LiFePO4 as positive electrode, be mixed and made into by a certain percentage anode sizing agent with NMP, conductive agent, binding agent etc., coat aluminium foil and make positive plate, the membrane for polymer that barrier film adopts PP, PE to make, electrolyte solute is LiPF6, and solvent is the mixture of DEC and DMC.Adopt coiling or stacked system to arrange positive plate, barrier film and negative plate and be connected, barrier film is interval between adjacent positive plate, negative plate, through lamination, makes battery core.Battery Theoretical Design capacity is 45Ah.The in the situation that of elastic plate be not set in lithium-ion-power cell retrain, after injecting electrolyte, there is the process of de-embedding with reaction in battery core, the battery container bulging causing should be in 5%-10% left and right, because the area of the square-shaped battery casing broad side surface of high-capacity lithium-ion power battery is larger, meteorism resistent ability is poor, therefore battery pole piece can not get strong constraint, if reduce assembling ratio, inside battery pole piece is too loose, ionic conduction power between pole piece reduces, the utilance that can cause active material is on the low side, and the thermal effect of battery charging and discharging is excessive.By the lithium-ion-power cell that adopts the embodiment of the present invention to provide, elastic plate is set in battery to be fettered the distance between positive/negative plate, in battery charge and discharge process, when occurring expanding and causing elasticity to diminish (it is large that the distance between positive/negative plate becomes), elastic plate can push battery core, reduce the distance between positive/negative plate, thereby increase elasticity.Therefore, according to the expansion situation in battery charge and discharge process, battery core can be pushed the elastic plate of its both sides automatically, thereby makes the elastic plate of both sides according to actual charge status, in time the inner elasticity of regulating cell.Adopt the battery capacity of the lithium-ion-power cell of structure as shown in Figure 1 can reach 45.5Ah, the internal resistance of cell is less than 0.8m Ω, batch production qualification rate is more than 96%, and during this lithium-ion-power cell 3C electric discharge, than original-pack distribution pond, (other parameters are identical, but elastic plate is not set) electric discharge peak value time housing thickness low about 4mm, therefore, the size that is arranged so that battery by elastic plate has obtained effective control.
Be understandable that, above execution mode is only used to principle of the present invention is described and the illustrative embodiments that adopts, yet the present invention is not limited thereto.For those skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit and substance in the present invention, can make various modification and improvement, these modification and improvement are also considered as protection scope of the present invention.
