Detailed Description
For a fuller understanding of the objects, features and advantages of the present invention, reference should be made to the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 1 to 3, a schematic exploded view, a front view and a top view of a battery conductive frame 10 according to an embodiment of the invention are respectively shown. The battery conductive frame 10 includes at least a first conductive member 11, a plurality of resilient sheets 12 and a conductive substrate 13, wherein the first conductive member 11 is used to electrically connect the plurality of battery cores 2. The battery cell 2 of the present embodiment is mainly a secondary battery such as a nickel-metal hydride battery, a nickel-cadmium battery, a lithium ion battery, or a lithium polymer battery.
As shown, the first conductive member 11 includes a first surface 115 and a second surface 116 corresponding to the first surface 115, and has a first main portion 111 and a plurality of first branch portions 112. The first main portion 111 is substantially in a shape of a strip, and each of the first branch portions 112 is disposed on two sides of the first main portion 111, and a plurality of first protruding solder portions 113 are disposed at an end away from the first main portion 111. Each first protruding welding portion 113 protrudes from the first surface 115 side and is used for being electrically connected with each battery cell 2, and the first protruding welding portion 113 of each first branch portion 112 is mainly fixed to the battery cell 2 in an electrical resistance welding manner, so that the first protruding welding portion 113 is embedded into the battery cell 2 along with slight melting of the outer shell of the battery cell 2 due to high temperature.
On the other hand, the elastic pieces 12 are respectively disposed on two sides of each first branch portion 112 of the first conductive member 11, and two adjacent elastic pieces 12 are symmetrical to each other. Specifically, each spring 12 includes a supporting portion 121 and a supporting portion 122. One end of the supporting portion 121 is connected to the bearing portion 122, and the other end is connected to the first branch portion 112 (the second surface 116 side) of the first conductive member 11, and the supporting portion 121 is disposed in an inclined manner between the first branch portion 112 and the bearing portion 122.
In addition, the first conductive member 11 and each elastic sheet 12 may be made of a planar metal frame, for example, the metal frame may be made of a metal with good conductivity and flexibility, such as copper, silver or gold, and the thickness of the metal frame is preferably about 0.3 mm. The metal frame is formed on the first main portion 111, the plurality of first branch portions 112 and the plurality of predetermined formed spring areas connected to the first branch portions 112 on the same plane by, for example, die forming or cutting, and then the predetermined formed spring areas are bent by pressing to form the spring 12 on the second surface 116.
On the other hand, the conducting substrate 13 is a thick plate with a thickness larger than that of the first conductive member 11, and is made of a metal material with good thermal conductivity (even conductive), such as copper, aluminum alloy, etc. The thicker conductive substrate 13 may press the elastic pieces 12 of the first conductive member 11 such that the protruding welding parts 113 of the first conductive member 11 more closely electrically contact the battery cells 2. As shown in fig. 2, the conductive substrate 13 contacts the supporting portion 122 of each elastic sheet 12, and is connected (or electrically connected) to each battery cell 2 through the first conductive member 11 and each elastic sheet 12, and is separated from each battery cell 2 by each elastic sheet 12 to form a gap G.
Through the simple structure of the first conductive member 11, the elastic pieces 12 and the conductive substrate 13, the battery conductive frame 10 of the present invention can electrically connect the battery cores 2 through the first branch portion 112 of the first conductive member 11, and electrically connect an external electrical device through the first main portion 111 of the first conductive member 11, so that the battery core 2 can supply power to the external electrical device. Moreover, when the battery cell 2 generates heat during charging and discharging, the heat can be conducted to the conductive substrate 13 through each spring plate 12, so as to utilize the thickness of the conductive substrate 13 and the better material heat-conducting property to rapidly dissipate the heat. Thus, it is possible to prevent the battery cell 2 from abruptly increasing the temperature to cause thermal runaway, and to avoid damage to other battery cells 2 and electrical equipment used therein. Even when the explosion of the battery cell 2 due to thermal runaway cannot be suppressed, the gap G can be used to conduct the ejected high thermal electrolyte, and the thick conductive substrate 13 can absorb the energy of the explosion impact to reduce the damage due to the explosion. In addition, the battery frame 10 has a simple structure, and thus has advantages of easy production, cost saving, and the like.
Fig. 4 is a front sectional view of a battery module 100 according to an embodiment of the invention. The battery module 100 includes a plurality of battery cells 2, a battery frame 10a, a storage box 31 and a cover 32. Each of the battery cells 2 is mainly a secondary battery as described above, and has a cylindrical shape with a positive electrode 21 and a negative electrode 22 at both ends, respectively. In addition, the battery cell 2 is generally provided with a safety valve on the positive electrode 21 side in terms of structure and sealed with a cover so that the positive electrode 21 is exploded to conduct the high-temperature electrolytic substance and explosion energy therein when the battery cell 2 is exploded due to overheating.
The battery frame 10a of the present embodiment is substantially the same as the battery frame 10, and the main difference is that at least one second conductive member 14 is further added to the battery frame 10a of the present embodiment. In addition, in the present embodiment, the first projection welding portion 113 of each first branch portion 112 of the first conductive member 11 is electrically connected to the positive electrode 21 of each battery cell 2.
On the one hand, as shown in fig. 5, the second conductive member 14 is similar to the first conductive member 11 in structure, and has a second main portion 141, a plurality of second branch portions 142, and a plurality of second protruding solder portions 143 on each second branch portion 142, wherein the second protruding solder portions 143 are electrically connected to the negative electrodes 22 of the battery cells 2. Thus, the first conductive member 11 and the second conductive member 14 are connected in parallel with each battery cell 2.
The receiving box 31 has a receiving space 311 for receiving each battery cell 2 and the battery conductive frame 10a, and a plurality of pin ports 312. Each pin opening 312 of the receiving box 31 is spatially communicated with the receiving space 311, and a portion of the first main portion 111 of the first conductive member 11 and a portion of the second main portion 141 of the second conductive member 14 are respectively exposed outside the receiving box 31 through each pin opening 312 to serve as pins for external electrical connection.
The cover 32 is connected to the storage box 31 to cover the storage space 311 of the storage box 31, and together with the storage box 31, covers the battery cells 2 and the battery conductive frame 10a. In addition, the cover 32 also presses against the conductive substrate 13 of the battery conductive frame 10a to make the conductive substrate 13 tightly contact with each elastic sheet 12 for heat conduction, and on the one hand, presses each elastic sheet 12 to make the first conductive member 11 tightly and electrically contact with each battery core 2, and further makes each battery core 2 tightly and electrically contact with the second conductive member 14 for electrical conduction.
With such a structure, the battery module 100 of the present invention can electrically connect to an external electrical device for charging or discharging to operate the electrical device by the pin portions of the first conductive member 11 and the second conductive member 14 exposed to the receiving box 31. When each battery cell 2 in the battery module 100 generates heat due to charging and discharging, the conductive substrate 13 of the battery conductive frame 10a assists heat conduction. Even when the battery cell 2 is overheated and bursts from the positive electrode 21, the gap G can be used to channel the ejected high-temperature electrolyte, and the thick conductive substrate 13 can help suppress and reduce the energy of the explosion impact, thereby preventing the battery module 100 from directly bursting and spreading to the surroundings.
In addition, in the battery conductive frame 10 and the battery module 100 of the present invention, the first conductive member 11 and the elastic sheet 12 can be integrally formed, and the conductive substrate 13 can be a simple thick metal plate, so the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, and the heat dissipation and explosion prevention effects of the battery core 2 can be effectively achieved at low cost.
In the above embodiment, the first conductive member 11 and the second conductive member 14 are electrically connected to the positive electrode 21 and the negative electrode 22 of each battery cell 2 respectively and are in parallel connection, so as to achieve a larger current and electric quantity, however, the battery conductive frame and the battery module of the present invention are not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, a larger number of conductive members 11 and 14 may be used to connect at least one battery cell 2 respectively, or even each battery cell 2 is alternately arranged between the positive electrode 21 and the negative electrode 22 and is connected in series, so as to achieve a larger output voltage.
In addition, although the number of the projection welding parts 113 and 143 on the branch parts 112 and 142 of the conductive parts 11 and 14 is respectively provided in plural to enhance the connection with the battery cell 2, in practical application, only one projection welding part may be provided in consideration of cost, production efficiency, etc. Even in other embodiments of the present invention, each of the branch portions 112, 142 may not have a protruding welding portion and may be connected and fixed to the battery core 2 by welding or fastening. On the other hand, in other embodiments, the conductive members 11 and 14 may not have branches, and only the trunk portions 111 and 141 may have the protruding welding portions 113 and 143 and electrically connect the plurality of battery cells 2 on the first surface 115 side thereof.
Furthermore, in other embodiments of the present invention, the elastic sheet 12 may be disposed on only one side or multiple sides of each first branch portion 112, or even only a part of the first branch portions 112 may be disposed with the elastic sheet 12. In other embodiments, a portion of the first branch portion 112 may be bent to form the spring 12 on the second surface 116 of the first conductive member 11, and substantially contact the conductive substrate 13 to separate the conductive substrate 13 from the battery cell 2 by the gap G. Even in consideration of structural strength, the elastic sheet 12 may be a member manufactured separately from the first conductive member 11 in other embodiments, and is connected to the first conductive member 11 by means of clamping or bonding.
On the other hand, the battery cell 2 of the present invention is not limited to the secondary battery, and in other embodiments, a primary battery such as a carbon zinc battery or an alkaline battery may be used, and basically, any battery requiring heat dissipation may be used. The shape of the battery cell of the present invention is not limited to a cylindrical shape, and may be a polygonal rod shape, a square block shape, a disk shape, a plate shape, or the like in other embodiments.
In addition, the number of the pin ports 312 on the storage box 31 of the present invention is not limited to two, and the installation positions are not limited to the same side shown in fig. 4, and in other embodiments, a greater number of pin ports may be installed on different sides based on the consideration of grounding, ventilation and heat dissipation.
Fig. 6 is a front view of a battery conductive frame 10b according to another embodiment of the present invention. The battery frame 10b of the present embodiment is substantially the same as the battery frame 10 of the previous embodiment, and the main difference is that a plurality of heat dissipation fins 132 are additionally disposed on the conductive substrate 13. In this embodiment, one surface of the conductive substrate 13 contacts each spring 12, and the other surface of the conductive substrate 13 is separately provided with each heat sink fin 132.
With this structure, the battery conductive frame 10b can further disperse the heat generated by charging and discharging the battery cell 2 to the heat dissipating fins 132, and then take away the heat by using the medium such as air in the gaps between the heat dissipating fins 132.
As shown in fig. 7, the heat dissipation fins 132 of the present invention can also be applied to the battery module 100a to exert its effect, and the cover 32 presses against the heat dissipation fins 132 to make the conductive substrate 13 tightly contact with the elastic sheets 12.
In addition, although the heat dissipation fins 132 of the conductive substrate 13 are arranged in a straight line and in a plate shape in the present embodiment, the shape of the heat dissipation fins may be changed to a wavy shape or a columnar shape, and the arrangement may be changed to a checkerboard shape or a spiral shape in other embodiments based on the heat dissipation efficiency.
In summary, the battery lead frame and the battery module using the same according to the present invention can help the conductive members 11 and 14 and the battery cells 2 to conduct electricity through the conductive substrate 13, and also help heat dissipation and cooling when the battery cells 2 generate heat due to charging and discharging. The gap G formed by the elastic sheet 12 between the conductive substrate 13 and the first conductive member 11 helps to channel the sprayed high thermal electrolyte material when the battery cell 2 is thermally runaway and bursts open. In addition, the conductive substrate 13, the first conductive member 11 and the elastic sheet 12 are convenient to manufacture, so that the cost is saved.
The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and should not be taken as limiting the scope of the invention, which is defined by the appended claims.
