节能减排是汽车产业可持续发展的关键。在这种情况下,电动车辆由于其节能环保的优势成为汽车产业可持续发展的重要组成部分。而对于电动车辆而言,电池技术又是关乎其发展的一项重要因素。
在电池技术的发展中,除了提高电池的性能外,安全问题也是一个不可忽视的问题。如果电池的安全问题不能保证,那该电池就无法使用。因此,如何增强电池的安全性,是电池技术中一个亟待解决的技术问题。
发明内容
本申请提供了一种电池的箱体、电池、用电装置、制备电池的方法和制备电池的装置,能够增强电池的安全性。

本申请实施例的电池箱体,利用热管理部件将容纳电池单体的电气腔与收集排 放物的收集腔分离,在泄压机构致动时,电池单体的排放物进入收集腔,而不进入或少量进入电气腔,从而不会使电气腔中的电连接部件之间发生短路,因此能够增强电池的安全性。同时,电池单体失控后产生的排放物排放到收集腔后,经过泄压区域再排出到收集腔的外部,其可以延长排放物的排放路径,有效的降低排放物的温度,减少排放物对电池电池外界环境的影响,从而进一步增强了电池的安全性。
在一些实施例中,所述泄压区域与所述泄压机构错开设置。
本申请实施例中的泄压区域为设置于热管理部件上的没有对应于泄压机构的区域,即泄压区域与泄压机构的位置错开,通过使两者的位置错开,可以使得收集腔内的排放物经过泄压区域顺利排出到收集腔的外部,从而可以达到延长排气路径的效果,有效的降低排放物的温度,减少排放物对电池外界环境的影响,从而进一步增强了电池的安全性。

下面结合附图和实施例对本申请的实施方式作进一步详细描述。以下实施例的详细描述和附图用于示例性地说明本申请的原理,但不能用来限制本申请的范围,即本申请不限于所描述的实施例。
在本申请的描述中,需要说明的是,除非另有说明,“多个”的含义是两个以上(包括两个);术语“上”、“下”、“左”、“右”、“内”、“外”等指示的方位或位置关系仅是为了便于描述本申请和简化描述,而不是指示或暗示所指的装置或元件必须具有特定的方位、以特定的方位构造和操作,因此不能理解为对本申请的限制。此外,术语“第一”、“第二”、“第三”等仅用于描述目的,而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性。“垂直”并不是严格意义上的垂直,而是在误差允许范围之内。“平行”并不是严格意义上的平行,而是在误差允许范围之内。
下述描述中出现的方位词均为图中示出的方向,并不是对本申请的具体结构进行限定。在本申请的描述中,还需要说明的是,除非另有明确的规定和限定,术语“安装”、“相连”、“连接”应做广义理解,例如,可以是固定连接,也可以是可拆卸连接,或一体地连接;可以是直接相连,也可以通过中间媒介间接相连。对于本领域的普通技术人员而言,可视具体情况理解上述术语在本申请中的具体含义。
本申请中,电池单体可以包括一次电池、二次电池,例如可以是锂离子电池、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、方形电池单体和软包电池单体,本申请实施例对此也不限定。
本申请的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。例如,本申请中所提到的电池可以是电池包等。电池包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。
电池单体包括电极组件和电解液,电极组件包括正极片、负极片和隔离膜。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。正极片包括正极集流体和正极活性物质层,正极活性物质层涂覆于正极集流体的表面,未涂敷正极活性物质层的集流体凸出于已涂覆正极活性物质层的集流体,未涂敷正极活性物质层的集流体作为正极极耳。以锂离子电池为例,正极集流体的材料可以为铝,正极活性物质可以为钴酸锂、磷酸铁锂、三元锂或锰酸锂等。负极片包括负极集流体和负极活性物质层,负极活性物质层涂覆于负极集流体的表面,未涂敷负极活性物质层的集流体凸出于已涂覆负极活性物质层的集流体,未涂敷负极活性物质层的集流体作为负极极耳。负极集流体的材料可以为铜,负极活性物质可以为碳或硅等。为了保证通过大电流而不发生熔断,正极极耳的数量为多个且层叠在一起,负极极耳的数量为多个且层叠在一起。隔膜的材质可以为聚丙烯(PP)或聚乙烯(PE)等。此外,电极组件可以是卷绕式结构,也可以是叠片式结构,本申请实施例并不限于此。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,还需要考虑电池的安全性。
对于电池来说,主要的安全危险来自于充电和放电过程,为了提高电池的安全性能,对电池单体一般会设置泄压机构。泄压机构是指电池单体的内部压力或温度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。该预定阈值可以根据设计需求不同而进行调整。所述预定阈值可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。泄压机构可以采用诸如对压力敏感或温度敏感的元件或部件,即,当电池单体的内部压力或温度达到预定阈值时,泄压机构致动,从而形成可供内部压力或温度泄放的通道。
本申请中所提到的“致动”是指泄压机构产生动作,从而使得电池单体的内部压力及温度得以被泄放。泄压机构产生的动作可以包括但不限于:泄压机构中的至少一部分破裂、被撕裂或者熔化,等等。泄压机构在致动后,电池单体内部的高温高压物质作为排放物会从泄压机构向外排出。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,从而避免潜在的更严重的事故发生。
本申请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。
电池单体上的泄压机构对电池的安全性有着重要影响。例如,当电池单体发生短路、过充等现象时,可能会导致电池单体内部发生热失控从而压力或温度骤升。这种情况下通过泄压机构致动可以将内部压力及温度向外释放,以防止电池单体爆炸、起火。
目前的泄压机构设计方案中,主要关注将电池单体内部的高压和高热释放,即将所述排放物排出到电池单体外部。但是,电池单体失控后产生的火焰、烟雾及气体等,能够瞬间温度达到1000℃以上,若采用目前的排放方式,排放物直接冲击电池箱体的底部,容易烧蚀箱体底部的耐腐蚀涂层,同时形成高温热点,极易点燃可燃气体与空气的混合物,引发火灾事件,而且,容易在排气路径上堆积高温颗粒,使其他电池单体温度升高,可能进一步引发热失控事件,因而存在安全隐患。
鉴于此,本申请的实施例提供了一种技术方案,利用热管理部件将容纳电池单体的电气腔与收集排放物的收集腔分离,在泄压机构致动时,电池单体的排放物进入收集腔,而不进入或少量进入电气腔,从而不会对电气腔中的电连接部件产生导通而发生短路,因此能够增强电池的安全性。同时,使电池单体失控后产生的排放物 排放到收集腔后,经过泄压区域排出到电池外部,通过延长排放物的排放路径,可以有效的降低排放物的温度,减少排放物对电池外界环境的影响,从而进一步增强了电池的安全性。
热管理部件用于隔离电气腔和收集腔,以使电气腔和收集腔设置于热管理部件的两侧。该热管理部件可以容纳流体以给多个电池单体调节温度。这里的流体可以是液体或气体,调节温度是指给多个电池单体加热或者冷却。在给电池单体冷却或降温的情况下,该热管理部件用于容纳冷却流体以给多个电池单体降低温度。另外,热管理部件也可以用于加热以给多个电池单体升温,本申请实施例对此并不限定。可选的,所述流体可以是循环流动的,以达到更好的温度调节的效果。可选的,流体可以为水、水和乙二醇的混合液或者空气等。
本申请中所提到的电气腔可以用于容纳多个电池单体和汇流部件。电气腔可以是密封或非密封的。电气腔提供电池单体和汇流部件的安装空间。在一些实施例中,电气腔中还可以设置用于固定电池单体的结构。电气腔的形状可以根据所容纳的电池单体和汇流部件的数量和形状而定。在一些实施例中,电气腔可以为方形,具有六个壁。本申请中所提到的汇流部件用于实现多个电池单体之间的电连接,例如并联或串联或混联。汇流部件可通过连接电池单体的电极端子实现电池单体之间的电连接。在一些实施例中,汇流部件可通过焊接固定于电池单体的电极端子。
本申请中所提到的收集腔用于收集排放物,可以是密封或非密封的。在一些实施例中,所述收集腔内可以包含空气,或者其他气体。可选地,所述收集腔内也可以包含液体,比如冷却介质,或者,设置容纳该液体的部件,以对进入收集腔的排放物进一步降温。进一步可选地,收集腔内的气体或者液体是循环流动的。
本申请实施例描述的技术方案均适用于各种使用电池的装置,例如,手机、便携式设备、笔记本电脑、电瓶车、电动玩具、电动工具、电动车辆、船舶和航天器等,例如,航天器包括飞机、火箭、航天飞机和宇宙飞船等。
应理解,本申请实施例描述的技术方案不仅仅局限适用于上述所描述的设备,还可以适用于所有使用电池的设备,但为描述简洁,下述实施例均以电动车辆为例进行说明。
例如,如图1所示,为本申请一个实施例的一种车辆1的结构示意图,车 辆1可以为燃油汽车、燃气汽车或新能源汽车,新能源汽车可以是纯电动汽车、混合动力汽车或增程式汽车等。车辆1的内部可以设置马达40,控制器30以及电池10,控制器30用来控制电池10为马达40的供电。例如,在车辆1的底部或车头或车尾可以设置电池10。电池10可以用于车辆1的供电,例如,电池10可以作为车辆1的操作电源,用于车辆1的电路系统,例如,用于车辆1的启动、导航和运行时的工作用电需求。在本申请的另一实施例中,电池10不仅仅可以作为车辆1的操作电源,还可以作为车辆1的驱动电源,替代或部分地替代燃油或天然气为车辆1提供驱动动力。
为了满足不同的使用电力需求,本申请的电池电池可以包括多个电池单体,其中,多个电池单体之间可以串联或并联或混联,混联是指串联和并联的混合。电池也可以称为电池包。可选地,多个电池单体可以先串联或并联或混联组成电池模块,多个电池模块再串联或并联或混联组成电池。也就是说,多个电池单体可以直接组成电池,也可以先组成电池模块,电池模块再组成电池。
例如,如图2所示,为本申请一个实施例的一种电池10的结构示意图,电池10可以包括多个电池单体20。电池10还可以包括箱体,箱体内部为中空结构,多个电池单体20容纳于箱体内。如图2所示,箱体可以包括两部分,这里分别称为第一部分111和第二部分112,第一部分111和第二部分112扣合在一起。第一部分111和第二部分112的形状可以根据电池单体20组合的形状而定,第一部分111和第二部分112可以均具有一个开口。例如,第一部分111和第二部分112均可以为中空长方体且各自只有一个面为开口面,第一部分111的开口和第二部分112的开口相对设置,并且第一部分111和第二部分112相互扣合形成具有封闭腔室的箱体。多个电池单体20相互并联或串联或混联组合后置于第一部分111和第二部分112扣合后形成的箱体内。
可选地,电池10还可以包括其他结构,在此不再一一赘述。例如,该电池10还可以包括汇流部件,汇流部件用于实现多个电池单体之间的电连接,例如并联或串联或混联。具体地,汇流部件可通过连接电池单体的电极端子实现电池单体之间的电连接。进一步地,汇流部件可通过焊接固定于电池单体的电极端子。多个电池单体的电能可进一步通过导电机构穿过箱体而引出。
根据不同的电力需求,电池单体的数量可以设置为任意数值。多个电池单体可通过串联、并联或混联的方式连接以实现较大的容量或功率。由于每个电池10中 包括的电池单体的数量可能较多,为了便于安装,可以将电池单体分组设置,每组电池单体组成电池模块200。电池模块200中包括的电池单体的数量不限,可以根据需求设置。例如,图3为电池模块的一个示例。电池可以包括多个电池模块,这些电池模块可通过串联、并联或混联的方式进行连接。
如图4所示,为本申请实施例的一种电池单体20的结构示意图,电池单体20包括一个或多个电极组件22、壳体211和盖板212。壳体211和盖板212形成外壳21。壳体211的壁以及盖板212均称为电池单体20的壁。该电池单体20还可以包括两个电极端子214,两个电极端子214可以设置在盖板212上。盖板212通常是平板形状,两个电极端子214固定在盖板212的平板面上,两个电极端子214分别为正电极端子214a和负电极端子214b。每个电极端子214各对应设置一个连接构件23,其位于盖板212与电极组件22之间,用于将电极组件22和电极端子214实现电连接。
如图4所示,每个电极组件22具有第一极耳221a和第二极耳222a。第一极耳221a和第二极耳222a的极性相反。一个或多个电极组件22的第一极耳221a通过一个连接构件23与一个电极端子连接,一个或多个电极组件22的第二极耳222a通过另一个连接构件23与另一个电极端子连接。在该电池单体20中,根据实际使用需求,电极组件22可设置为单个,或多个,如图4所示,电池单体20内设置有4个独立的电极组件22。
如图5所示,为本申请另一实施例的包括泄压机构213的电池单体20的结构示意图。图5中的壳体211、盖板212、电极组件22以及连接构件23与图4中的壳体211、盖板212、电极组件22以及连接构件23的一致,为了简洁,在此不再赘述。
如图5所示的电池单体还可设置泄压机构213。图5中,泄压机构213设置于电池单体20的底壁上,即图5中的壁21a,其中,该泄压机构213可以为壁21a的一部分,也可以与壁21a为分体式结构,通过例如焊接的方式固定在壁21a上。当泄压机构213为壁21a的一部分时,例如,泄压机构213可以通过在壁21a上设置刻痕的方式形成,与该刻痕的对应的壁21a厚度小于泄压机构213除刻痕处其他区域的厚度。刻痕处是泄压机构213最薄弱的位置。当电池单体20产生的气体太多使得壳体211内部压力升高并达到阈值或电池单体20内部反应产生热量造成电池单体20内部温度升高并达到阈值时,泄压机构213可以在刻痕处发生破裂而导致壳体211内外相通,气 体压力及温度通过泄压机构213的裂开向外释放,进而避免电池单体20发生爆炸。
图5中是以泄压机构213位于电池单体20的底壁上为例进行描述,但应理解,本申请实施例中的泄压机构213可以位于壳体211的侧壁上,或者也可以位于盖板212上,或者,也可以位于壳体211的两个壁的相交的位置,本申请实施例对此不做限制。
泄压机构213可以为各种可能的泄压结构,本申请实施例对此并不限定。例如,泄压机构213可以为温敏泄压机构,温敏泄压机构被配置为在设有泄压机构213的电池单体20的内部温度达到阈值时能够熔化;和/或,泄压机构213可以为压敏泄压机构,压敏泄压机构被配置为在设有泄压机构213的电池单体20的内部气压达到阈值时能够破裂。
图6示出了本申请实施例的一个电池示意图。如图6所示,箱体11可以包括电气腔11a,收集腔11b以及热管理部件13。
目前电池单体失控后的排放的设计方案中,排放物一般经过收集腔后就排出到电池外部,由于排放物温度过高,可能会导致收集腔受到的破坏较大,高温排放物的积存容易引发热失控事件,而且经过收集腔就排出到电池外部的排放物对外界环境影响较大。本申请实施例针对这些问题提出了一种电池的箱体,利用热管理部件将容纳电池单体的电气腔与收集排放物的收集腔分离,在泄压机构致动时,电池单体的排放物进入收集腔,而不进入或少量进入电气腔,从而不会对电气腔中的电连接部件产生导通而发生短路,因此能够增强电池的安全性。同时,使电池单体失控后产生的排放物排放到收集腔后,经过泄压区域并排出到电池的外部,通过延长排放物的排放路径,可以有效的降低排放物的温度,减少排放物对电池外界环境的影响,从而进一步增强了电池的安全性。
其中,电气腔11a用于容纳多个电池单体20,所述多个电池单体20中的至少一个电池单体20包括泄压机构213,所述泄压机构213用于在设有所述泄压机构213的电池单体20的内部压力或温度达到阈值时致动以泄放所述内部压力;热管理部件13用于容纳流体以给所述多个电池单体20调节温度;以及,收集腔11b用于在所述泄压机构213致动时收集来自所述设有所述泄压机构213的电池单体20的排放物;其中,所述热管理部件13用于隔离所述电气腔11a和所述收集腔11b,所述热管理部 件13上设置有泄压区域213,所述收集腔11b收集的所述排放物经过所述泄压区域排出。
可选地,本申请实施例中的电气腔11a还可以用于容纳汇流部件12,汇流部件12用于实现多个电池单体20的电连接。汇流部件12可通过连接电池单体20的电极端子214实现电池单体20间的电连接。
为了便于描述,以下关于泄压机构213的相关描述中所涉及的电池单体20指设有泄压机构213的电池单体20。例如,电池单体20可以为图5中的电池单体20。
在给电池单体20降温的情况下,本申请实施例中的热管理部件13可以容纳冷却介质以给多个电池单体20调节温度,此时,热管理部件13也可以称为冷却部件、冷却系统或冷却板等。另外,热管理部件13也可以用于加热,本申请实施例对此并不限定。可选的,所述流体可以是循环流动的,以达到更好的温度调节的效果。
作为一种实现方式,本申请实施例中的热管理部件13在所述泄压区域未设置所述流道。
在泄压区域对应的位置不设置流道,可以使得收集腔11b内的排放物更容易经过泄压区域排出收集腔11b。
在本申请实施例中,热管理部件13用于隔离电气腔11a和收集腔11b。这里所谓的“隔离”指分离,可以不是是密封的。也就是说,容纳多个电池单体20的电气腔11a与收集排放物的收集腔11b分离。这样,在泄压机构213致动时,电池单体20的排放物进入收集腔11b,而不会进入或少量进入电气腔11a,从而不会影响电气腔11a中的电连接,因此能够增强电池的安全性。
可选地,在本申请一个实施例中,热管理部件13具有为电气腔11a和收集腔11b共用的壁。如图6所示,热管理部件13可以同时为电气腔11a的一个壁以及收集腔11b的一个壁。也就是说,热管理部件13(或其一部分)可以直接作为电气腔11a和收集腔共用的壁,这样,电池单体20的排放物可以经过热管理部件13进入收集腔11b,同时,由于热管理部件13的存在,可以将该排放物与电气腔11a尽可能的隔离,从而降低排放物的危险性,增强电池的安全性。
作为一个实施例,本申请实施例中的热管理部件13可以包括第一导热板和第二导热板,如图7a至7c所示。其中,图7a是本申请实施例的一个电池的平面示意图,图7b是本申请实施例的箱体沿A-A’方向的剖面图,图7c是对应于图7b中的局部细节图。
如图7a至7c所示,本申请实施例中的热管理部件13可以包括第一导热板131,第一导热板131附接至多个电池单体20;第二导热板132,第二导热板132布置在第一导热板131背离电池单体20的一侧;以及流道133,流道133形成在第一导热板131和第二导热板132之间以供流体在其中流动。
可选地,本申请实施例中的第一导热板131可以不直接附接于电池单体20,而是在与多个电池单体20之间也可以设置有隔热垫等,本申请对此不作限定。
如图7c所示,第一导热板131和第二导热板132可以形成流道133,用于容纳流体。第一导热板131位于第二导热板132的靠近电气腔11b的一侧,且附接于壁21a。
可选地,第一导热板131和第二导热板132的材质可以为金属。例如铝或钢。
应理解,上述仅仅是示例性的描述了热管理部件13的一种实现方式,本申请实施例并不限于此。
在目前的电池排放物排放方案中,排放物在进入收集腔11b后直接排出到电池10的外部,此时,由于排放物温度很高,可能会对电池箱体11的底部造成破坏,高温排放物积存容易引发热失控,而且,高温排放物排出电池10之后,对电池10的外部环境威胁也比较大。
基于此,本申请实施例中的热管理部件13上设置的泄压区域,可以使得收集腔11b内收集的排放物经过泄压区域后再排出到收集腔11b的外部。
通过在热管理部件13上设置泄压区域的方式,延长了收集腔11b内收集的排放物的排放路径,可以进一步降低排放物的温度,从而减少高温排放物对外界环境的影响,因此,可以增强电池的安全性。
作为一种实现方式,本申请实施例中的泄压区域可以与泄压机构213错开 设置。
通过将泄压区域和泄压机构213错开设置,可以延长排气路径,进一步降低排放物的温度。
本申请实施例中的错开设置可以是指两者在位置上不是对应设置的,而是相互让开的。
可选地,上述泄压区域可以是泄压孔,所述收集腔11b收集的所述排放物经过所述泄压孔排出,或者,所述泄压区域为薄弱区,所述收集腔11b收集的所述排放物破坏所述薄弱区后排出。
例如,当泄压区域为泄压孔时,收集腔11b内的排放物可以直接通过泄压孔,并进入特定的排气路径后排出电池箱体11。当泄压区域为薄弱区时,例如,薄弱区可以是通过在热管理部件13上进行减薄处理,或者在薄弱区所在的区域使用与热管理部件13上的其他区域不同的材料,比如熔点更低的材料,使得收集腔11b内的排放物的温度或者压力达到一定阈值时,可以冲破薄弱区进入特定的排放路径并排出电池箱体11。
应理解,本申请实施例中的泄压孔和薄弱区仅仅是作为示例,对泄压区域的可能的实现方式进行了描述,但本申请实施例对此不作限制。
作为一个实施例,本申请实施例中的电气腔11a可以包括第一压力平衡机构,所述第一压力平衡机构用于平衡所述箱体内外的压力,所述排放物经过所述泄压区域后,通过所述第一压力平衡机构排放到所述箱体外部。收集腔11b内的排放物在经过泄压区域之后,可以进入特定的排气路径并通过第一压力平衡机构排放到箱体11的外部。
通过设置第一压力平衡机构,可以使排放物及时的排出电气腔,降低排放物对其他电池单体的影响。
应理解,本申请实施例中的压力平衡机构表示的是箱体11可以通过压力平衡机构的开合,使得压力平衡机构两侧的压力得以平衡。该第一压力平衡机构可以使单向开合的,此时,第一压力平衡机构可以将电池箱体11内部的压力释放到电池箱体11的外部,或者,该第一压力平衡机构也可以是双向开合的,以使得电池箱体11内外 的压力保持平衡,本申请对此不作限制。
可选地,本申请实施例中的第一压力平衡机构可以为一个或多个,其数量可以根据实际情况设置,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
可选地,本申请实施例中的第一压力平衡机构可以是泄压阀,或者也可以是其他可以平衡箱体11内外压力的平衡机构,或者,本申请实施例中的第一压力平衡机构也可以为通孔。
收集腔11b内的排放物经过泄压区域和第一压力平衡机构排出箱体11的外部,可以延长排放物的排气路径延长,进一步降低排放物的温度,减少高温排放物对电池箱体11以及外部环境的影响,从而增强了电池的安全性。
可选地,在本申请的实施例中,收集腔11b内的排放物经过泄压区域之后,可以进入的特定排气路径然后通过第一压力平衡结构排出电池箱体11的外部,其中,该特定的排气路径可以包括:与用于容纳电池单体的腔室相互分离的独立腔室,或者,也可以是经过泄压区域后进入中空横梁内部。
以下对这两种实现方式进行描述。
作为第一种实现方式,本申请实施例中的电气腔11a可以包括第一子腔111a和第二子腔112a,其中,第一子腔111a用于容纳多个电池单体20,所述第二子腔112a与所述第一子腔111a相邻设置;第二子腔112a的外壁上设置有第一压力平衡机构15,收集腔11b收集的排放物经过泄压区域进入第二子腔112a,并通过第一压力平衡机构15排放到箱体11外部。
如图8a至8b所示,其中,图8a是本申请实施例的一个电池的分解图,图8b是对应于图8a的电池的平面示意图。如图8a所示,电气腔11a可以包括第一子腔111a和第二子腔112a,第一子腔111a可以用于容纳多个电池单体20,其中,该第一子腔111a和第二子腔112a是相互隔离的空间,以防止进入到第二子腔11b中的排放物进入到容纳有电池单体20的第一子腔111a中,从而保证了电池的安全性能。
应理解,本申请实施例中只是以一个第二子腔112a作为示例进行描述,但其具体数量以及位置可以根据实际情况设置,本申请实施例对此不作限制,另外本申请实施例中示例性的表示出了第一子腔111a可以被电气腔11a中的横梁113a分为4个 部分的方式,但本申请实施例对此不做限制。
为了保证收集腔11b中的排放物顺利进入第二子腔112a中,热管理部件13上可以设置有泄压孔14,或者也可以是减薄处理的薄弱区,本申请实施例对此不作限制。
可选地,该泄压孔14设置在热管理部件13上的对应于第二子腔112a的区域,如此,收集腔11b内的排放物可以通过泄压孔14进入第二子腔112a中。
进一步地,为了使进入第二子腔112a的排放物可以排放到箱体11的外部,第二子腔112a的外壁上可以设置第一压力平衡机构15,收集腔11b中收集的排放物经过泄压孔14后,进入第二子腔112a,当第二子腔112a中的压力或者温度到达一定阈值后,可以从第二子腔112a外壁上设置的第一压力平衡机构15排放到电池箱体的外部。
本申请实施例通过为电气腔11a设置第二子腔112a,可以为排放物设置一个缓冲区,可以将排放物和多个电池单体隔离,降低排放物对第一子腔111a中的电池单体的影响。
本申请实施例中的箱体11还可以包括顶盖,如图8a中示出的顶盖114,其中,该顶盖114可以对应于图2中的第一部分111,电气腔11a以及收集腔11b整体可以对应于图2中的第二部分112,或者,可选地,顶盖114也可以只对应于图2中的第一部分111中的上表面,第一部分111的周围的部分与第二部分112组成的部分可以对应于电气腔11a和收集腔11b组成的整体,具体可以根据实际情况设置,本申请实施例对此不做限制。
在电池单体热失控时,电池单体20一般可以通过对应的泄压机构213将内部的压力及温度排出,但是,在某些特定场景下,当电池单体20热失控时,电池单体20内的压力并不从泄压机构213排出,而是从壳体211的其他位置释放,并排放到电气腔11a内,使得电气腔11a中的内部压力及温度升高,如果气体不能及时排放到电池10的外部,电池10内压增长,会导致电池10的机械件受到损伤;或者,当电池10的海拔发生变化等场景下,造成电池10的内外压力变化时,电气腔11a内外压力可能不能迅速恢复平衡。
针对上述问题,本申请实施例中可以在第一子腔111a与第二子腔112a共用的壁上设置第二压力平衡机构16,第二压力平衡机构16可以用于平衡第一子腔111a和第二子腔112a之间的压力。
图9示出了本申请实施例的设置有第二压力平衡机构的电池的平面示意图。其中,图9可以为对应于箱体11设置一个第二子腔112a的情形的示意图。
应理解,上述只是示例性的描述了第二压力平衡机构的布置方式,本申请实施例并不限于此。
如图9所示,第一子腔111a与第二子腔112a共用的壁上可以设置一个第二压力平衡机构16。
在电池单体20产生的排放物未通过泄压机构213排出,并且通过壳体211的其他位置排出时,当第一子腔111a内的压力及温度到达一定阈值后,第一子腔111a内的排放物可以通过第二压力平衡机构16排出到第二子腔112a内,随后,当第二子腔112a内的压力或温度到达一定阈值后,排放物可以通过第一压力平衡机构15排出。
可选地,本申请实施例中的第二压力平衡机构16是单向开合的,第二压力平衡机构16用于在第一子腔111a内的压力或温度达到一定阈值时向第二子腔释放内部压力。
作为一种实现方式,本申请实施例中的第一子腔111a和第二子腔112a可以仅通过第二压力平衡机构16连通。
通过设置第一子腔111a和第二子腔112a仅通过第二压力平衡机构16连通,可以使得电池单体20发生热失控时,第二子腔112a中的排放物不会通过其他途径进入第一子腔111a中,防止高温排放物影响第一子腔111a中未发生热失控的电池单体20。
应理解,上述以电池单体20热失控释放压力为例,本申请实施例也可以应用于电池10的外部环境发生变化而导致的内外压力失衡的情况,本申请对此不作限制。
本申请实施例通过为容纳电池单体20的第一子腔111a设置第二压力平衡机 构16,使得电池单体20失控时,未经过泄压机构213排出的排放物可以顺利通过第二压力平衡机构16排放到第二子腔112a,并经过第一压力平衡机构15排出电池10的外部,一方面,可以保证电气腔11a的内部压力及时排出,避免电池10的内部温度或压力过高造成灾害问题的发生,另外,也可以延长排放物的排放路径,降低排放物的温度,减少排放物对外界环境的影响,从而进一步增强了电池的安全性。
作为一种实现方式,在本申请实施例中,所述第一子腔111a除了与所述第二子腔112a共用的壁的其他壁上设置有第三压力平衡机构,所述第三压力平衡机构用于在所述第一子腔111a内的压力或温度达到一定阈值时向所述箱体11的外部释放内部压力。
通过在除第一子腔111a与第二子腔112a共用的壁的其他壁上设置有第三压力平衡机构,可以使得第一子腔111a内的电池单体20发生热失控的内部压力及温度通过第三压力平衡机构及时排出,从而可以使得第一子腔111a和第二子腔112a内外的气压保持平衡。
可选地,本申请实施例中的电气腔11a可以设置有中空横梁113a,所述第二子腔112a的第一壁由所述中空横梁的至少一部分形成,所述第一壁上设置有第四压力平衡机构,所述收集腔收集的所述排放物经过所述泄压区域进入所述中空横梁内,再经过所述第四压力平衡机构进入所述第二子腔,再经过所述第一压力平衡机构排放到所述箱体外部。
具体地,如图10所示,在中空横梁113a与第二子腔112a公共的第一壁20a上设置有第四压力平衡机构17,通过泄压孔14进入到中空横梁113a的排放物可以经过第四压力平衡机构17进入到第二子腔112a中,当第二子腔112a中的内部压力及温度达到一定阈值时,可以通过第一压力平衡机构15排出到电池箱体11的外部,从而使得电池内外的气压平衡。
可选地,上述中空横梁113a与下文中的中空横梁113a可以是指相同的中空横梁,或者,二者也可以是不同的中空横梁,本申请对此不作限制。
作为第二种实现方式,本申请实施例中的电气腔11a中可以设置有中空横梁113a,所述中空横梁113a用于与所述电气腔11a的外壁连接,所述电气腔11a的外壁上设置有第五压力平衡机构18,所述收集腔11b收集的所述排放物经过所述泄压区 域进入所述中空横梁113a内,并通过所述第五压力平衡机构18排放到所述箱体11外部。
应理解,本申请实施例中涉及的箱体11的外壁可以为与箱体11外部的空气直接接触的壁。
如图11a至11c所示,其中,图11a为本申请实施例的另一个电池的分解图,图11b为对应于图11a的电池的平面示意图,图11c为对应于图11a的热管理部件和中空横梁的分解图。如图11a所示,电气腔11a中可以包括一个或多个中空横梁113a,该一个或多个中空横梁113a可以将多个电池单体20分隔开,其中,该一个或多个中空横梁113a可以包括沿多个相邻的电池单体排列方向设置的中空横梁113a,也可以包括垂直于电池单体排列方向的中空横梁113a。
相对应的,在热管理部件13上对应于中空横梁113a底部的位置可以设置有上述泄压区域,如图11c中所示的泄压孔14,或者薄弱区,如此,收集腔11b中的排放物可以通过泄压孔14进入到中空横梁113a中,可选地,当本申请实施例中的热管理部件13包括第一导热板131和第二导热板132时,第一导热板131和第二导热板132上都设置有对应于中空横梁113a的泄压孔14。
应理解,图11c仅示例性的描述了箱体11中的一个中空横梁113a与热管理部件13上的泄压孔14对应的一种方式,本申请实施例中的其他中空横梁113a也可以与热管理部件13的其他位置上的泄压孔14对应,使得收集腔11b内的排放物通过泄压孔14进入中空横梁113a内部,本申请对此不作限制。
可选地,本申请实施例中的泄压孔14与中空横梁113a对应设置,例如,可以通过在中空横梁113a底部打孔的方式,使泄压孔14与中空横梁113a之间连通,或者,中空横梁113a可以不设置底壁,直接将热管理部件13作为其底壁的方式,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
进一步地,在箱体11的外壁上可以设置第五压力平衡机构18,收集腔11b收集的排放物经过泄压孔14后,进入中空横梁113a内部,当中空横梁113a内部的压力或者温度到达一定阈值后,可以通过外壁上的第五压力平衡机构18排放到电池箱体11的外部。
应理解,本申请实施例中的多个中空横梁113a以及设置第五压力平衡机构18的外壁之间是相互连通的。
其中,图12a示出了本申请实施例的箱体沿图11b中A-A’方向的剖面图,图12b为对应于图12a中的中空横梁113a的局部细节图。
本申请实施例通过设置相互连通的中空横梁113a,并在箱体11的外壁上设置第五压力平衡机构18的方式,拉长收集腔11b内收集的排放物的排气路径,减少排放物对收集腔11b的影响,并进一步降低排放物的温度,降低了高温排放物对外界环境的影响,从而增强了电池的安全性能。
应理解,上述通过第二子腔112a以及中空横梁113a延长排气路径的两种方式,可以单独实施,或者两者也可以同时实施,本申请实施例对此不作限制。
作为一种实现方式,在本申请的一个实施例中,对于收集腔11b,可以由热管理部件13和防护构件形成。例如,如图13所示,箱体11还包括防护构件115。防护构件115用于防护热管理部件13,并且,防护构件115与热管理部件13形成收集腔11b。
防护构件115与热管理部件13形成的收集腔11b,不占用可容纳电池单体的空间,因此可以设置较大空间的收集腔11b,从而可以有效地收集和缓冲排放物,降低其危险性。
可选地,在本申请一个实施例中,收集腔11b内还可以设置流体,比如冷却介质,或者,设置容纳该流体的部件,以对进入收集腔11b内的排放物进一步降温。
可选地,在本申请一个实施例中,收集腔11b可以是密封的腔室。例如,防护构件115与热管理部件13的连接处可以通过密封构件密封。
为了进一步降低高温排放物对排气路径的影响,本申请实施例中的中空横梁113a和/或热管理部件13(例如,热管理部件13的背离多个电池单体20的表面)和/或防护构件115的表面上还可以设置降温材料。
其中,热管理部件13上设置的降温材料可以设置在其底壁上,并且避开泄压机构213对应的位置以及泄压区域对应的位置,这样,设置于热管理部件13底壁上 的降温材料可以将经过热管理部件13后进入收集腔11b的排放物进行降温,从而减少了高温排放物对箱体11的影响,进一步降低高温排放物对电池10的外部环境的影响。
如图14a至14d,其中,图14a为图8b中的沿A-A’方向的剖面图,图14b为对应于图14a中的局部细节图,图14c为降温材料在热管理部件上的布局的示意图,图14d为降温材料和热管理部件的分解图。如图14b和14c所示,降温材料60可以布置在热管理部件13的底壁上,并错开泄压机构213以及泄压孔14对应的位置,其中,当热管理部件13包括第一导热板131和第二导热板132时,降温材料60设置在第二导热板132的底部。
作为一种实现方式,降温材料可以设置在防护构件115上对应于泄压机构213的位置。
图15示出了本申请实施例的一个防护构件设置降温材料的示意图。其中,图15为对应于图11a中的位置E的局部细节图。如图15所示,降温材料60可以设置在防护构件115上对应于泄压机构213的位置。如此,从泄压机构213排出的排放物可以直接被防护构件115上的降温材料降温,从而减少了高温排放物对箱体11的影响,进一步降低高温排放物对电池10的外部环境的影响。
可选地,本申请实施例中还可以在中空横梁113a内设置降温材料,具体布置方式本申请实施例不做限制。
应理解,上述只是示例性的列出了几种降温材料的布置方式,本申请对其具体的布置方式不做限定。
可选地,本申请实施例中采用的降温材料可以是相变材料(Phase Change Material,PCM)涂层,相变材料在接触到高温排放物后可以融化,并对排放物进行降温。
可选地,本申请实施例中还可以在防护构件115以及热管理部件13的底壁上粘贴耐高温材料,如云母纸等,通过粘贴耐高温材料,可以减少高温排放物对排气路径的表面的影响。
可选地,本申请实施例中的降温材料可以设置在耐高温材料之上,从而可 以在达到对排放物降温的同时,保护排放物经过的区域的表面。
作为一种实现方式,本申请实施例中的热管理部件13可以被配置为在泄压机构213致动时能够使排放物穿过热管理部件13而进入收集腔11b。
可选地,在泄压机构213致动时,热管理部件13可以被破坏,例如,热管理部件13上可以设置有薄弱区,薄弱区可以被破坏,从而使得排放物可以穿过热管理部件13进入收集腔11b。
应理解,除了在热管理部件13上设置在泄压机构213致动时能够被破坏的结构外(例如上述薄弱区),还可以在泄压机构213上设置破坏装置,破坏装置用于在泄压机构213致动时破坏热管理部件13,以使流体从热管理部件13的内部排出。例如,破坏装置可以为尖刺,但本申请实施例对此并不限定。
或者可选的,热管理部件13上可以设置有对应于泄压机构213的通孔,泄压机构213致动后,排放物可以通过热管理部件13上的通孔进入收集腔11b。
以下对上述热管理部件13的两种情况分别进行描述。
为了保证泄压机构可以顺利打开从而使电池单体向外部排出排放物,在本申请的热管理部件13的靠近电池单体20的表面可以设置避让结构,避让结构被构造为提供允许泄压机构213致动的空间。
作为一种实施方式,其中,热管理部件13可以附接至多个电池单体20以在避让结构和泄压机构213之间形成避让腔。
图16示出了本申请实施例的一种避让结构为避让腔的示意图。其中,具体地,该避让腔134可以是通过本申请实施例中的第一导热板131的第一区域131a向第二导热板132凹陷以形成上述避让腔134,第一区域131a连接到第二导热板132,具体可以参见图7c。这样,在避让腔134的周围形成流道133,而避让腔134的底壁内没有流道,以便于被泄压机构的排放物破坏。
可选地,避让腔134包括避让底壁和围绕避让腔134的避让侧壁。
作为另一种实施方式,避让结构是贯穿热管理部件13的通孔,避让结构的避让侧壁为通孔的孔壁。
图17示出了本申请实施例的一种避让结构为通孔的示意图。如图17所示,该避让结构为通孔137。通孔137一方面可以作为避让结构,另一方面可以在泄压机构213致动时来自设有泄压机构213的电池单体20的排放物能够经过通孔137进入收集腔11b。
可选地,通孔137可以与泄压机构213相对设置。
通过设置与泄压机构213对应的通孔137,可以为泄压机构213提供变形空间,从而在泄压机构213致动时,可以通过通孔137将排放物排放到收集腔11b中。
作为一种实现方式,本申请实施例中的热管理部件13可以被构造成在所述泄压机构致动时被破坏,以使得所述流体流出。
对应于上述避让腔134和通孔137的情形,避让腔134的侧壁和通孔137的侧壁都可以破坏,具体地,泄压机构213致动时,电池单体20的排放物冲入避让腔134或通孔137,由于排放物为高压高热的排放物,排放物在穿过避让腔134或通孔137时还会熔化避让腔134或通孔137的孔壁,使得流体从热管理部件13的内部排出,从而对排放物降温。
通过使流体从热管理部件13的内部排出,这样可以吸收电池单体20的热量,降低排放物的温度,进而降低排放物的危险性。在这种情况下,流体和被流体冷却的排放物一块进入到收集腔11b。由于流体的冷却,可以迅速降低电池单体20的排放物的温度,因此进入到收集腔11b的排放物的危险性已大大降低,也不会对电池的其他部分(例如其他电池单体20)造成较大的影响,从而能够在第一时间抑制单个电池单体20异常带来的破坏性,降低电池爆炸的可能性。
作为一种实现方式,本申请实施例中的电池10可以包括多个电池单体20,该多个电池单体20中的至少一个电池单体20包括泄压机构213,所述泄压机构213用于在设有所述泄压机构213的电池单体20的内部压力或温度达到阈值时致动以泄放所述内部压力;以及前述各个实施例中的箱体11。
本申请一个实施例还提供了一种用电装置,该用电装置可以包括前述各实施例中的电池10。可选地,用电装置可以为车辆1、船舶或航天器。
上文描述了本申请实施例的电池的箱体、电池和用电装置,下面将描述本 申请实施例的制备电池的方法和装置,其中未详细描述的部分可参见前述各实施例。
