发明内容
本申请提供一种端盖、电池单体、电池以及用电装置,其能提高电池单体的安全性。
第一方面,本申请实施例提供了一种电池单体的端盖,其包括:
第一凹部,从端盖面向电极组件的一侧沿背离电极组件的方向凹陷;
第二凹部,从端盖背离电池单体的电极组件的一侧沿面向电极组件 的方向凹陷,第二凹部的底壁包括第一部分和环绕在第一部分外侧的第二部分,第一部分和第一凹部的底壁沿端盖的厚度方向相对设置;以及
泄压部,形成于第一部分和第一凹部的底壁之间,泄压部用于在电池单体的内部压力达到阈值时致动以泄放内部压力,第二部分的背离电极组件的一侧形成避让空间,以在泄压部致动时避让泄压部。
上述方案中,当电池单体发生短路、过充等现象时,泄压部的局部破裂并向外翻折,以形成释放内部压力的通道,降低电池单体爆炸、起火的风险,从而提高安全性。本方案通过在第二部分的背离电极组件的一侧形成避让空间,以降低泄压部被端盖的其它部分阻挡的风险,从而保证内部压力的泄放效率,提高电池单体的安全性。
在一些实施例中,第一凹部的底壁和/或第一部分设有第三凹部,泄压部被配置为在电池单体的内部压力达到阈值时在第三凹部处破裂以泄放内部压力。
上述方案中,通过设置第三凹部,可以在电池单体的内部压力达到阈值时,使泄压部沿着预定的位置破裂、翻折。
在一些实施例中,在泄压部致动时,泄压部的至少部分翻折到第二凹部内。
在一些实施例中,第三凹部沿厚度方向的投影为直线形、十字形、U形或环形。
在一些实施例中,第三凹部为环形且包括沿自身周向连续设置的第一子凹部和第二子凹部,第一子凹部的深度大于第二子凹部的深度,以在电池单体的内部压力达到阈值时,使泄压部在第一子凹部处破裂并沿着第二子凹部的底部翻折。
上述方案中,通过设置深度不同的第一子凹部和第二子凹部,使泄压部在设定的位置破裂,并限定泄压部的翻折方向。本方案在翻折的位置设置第二子凹部,可以降低泄压部翻折的难度,提高内部压力的泄放效率。
在一些实施例中,端盖包括:本体部,包括沿厚度方向相对设置的内表面和外表面,内表面面向电极组件;第一凸部,凸设于内表面,第一凹部从第一凸部的顶端面沿背离电极组件的方向凹陷;以及第二凸部,凸 设于外表面,第二凹部从第二凸部的顶端面沿面向电极组件的方向凹陷。
上述方案中,通过设置第一凸部和第二凸部,以增大端盖在泄压部周围的强度,减小泄压部在端盖往复翻动的过程中的变形,降低传导到泄压部的作用力,减缓泄压部的疲劳老化,降低端盖在电池单体正常使用情况下提前破裂泄压的风险,有利于提高电池单体的安全性和稳定性。
在一些实施例中,第二凹部在厚度方向上的深度大于第二凸部在厚度方向上的尺寸,以使第二凹部的底壁比外表面更靠近电极组件。
上述方案能够保证第二凹部的深度,以增大第二凹部的底壁和第二凸部的顶端面沿厚度方向的间距,降低泄压部被外部构件损伤的风险,提高安全性。
在一些实施例中,第一凹部在厚度方向上的深度小于第一凸部在厚度方向上的尺寸,以使第一凹部的底壁比内表面更靠近电极组件。
在电池单体倒置使用时,端盖位于电极组件的下侧。在上述方案中,第一凹部的底壁比内表面更靠近电极组件,所以在电池单体的循环后期,相较于第一凹部的底壁,电解液更容易聚集在内表面上,也就是说,本方案能够减少第一凹部内的储液量,降低泄压部受腐蚀而老化的风险。
在一些实施例中,在厚度方向上,第一凸部的尺寸大于第二凸部的尺寸。
上述方案在保证端盖的靠近泄压部的部分的强度的前提下,使第二凸部具有相对较小的尺寸,这样可以减小电池单体的最大尺寸,提高能量密度。
在一些实施例中,端盖还包括:连接部,环绕在本体部的外侧并沿面向电极组件的方向延伸,以在本体部的面向电极组件的一侧形成第四凹部;板体部,环绕在连接部的外侧,第四凹部相对于板体部的面向电极组件的表面凹陷;其中,第一凸部容纳于第四凹部内。
上述方案中,通过设置第四凹部,可以增大电池单体的内部空间,提高电池单体的容量。同时,第四凹部还能够为第一凸部提供空间,使第一凸部凸出足够的尺寸,并避免第一凸部抵压到电极组件上。
在一些实施例中,端盖为一体形成结构。
上述方案将具有泄压功能的泄压部集成在端盖上,以简化电池单体的结构。

电池单体包括电极组件和电解液,电极组件包括正极极片、负极极片和隔离件。电池单体主要依靠金属离子在正极极片和负极极片之间移动来工作。正极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;正极集流体包括正极涂覆区和连接于正极涂覆区的正极极耳,正极涂覆区涂覆有正极活性物质层,正极极耳未涂覆正极活性物质层。以锂离子电池为例,正极集流体的材料可以为铝,正极活性物质层包括正极活性物质,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;负极集流体包括负极涂覆区和连接于负极涂覆区的负极极耳,负极涂覆区涂覆有负极活性物质层,负极极耳未涂覆负极活性物质层。负极集流体的材料可以为铜,负极活性物质层包括负极活性物质,负极活性物质可以为碳或硅等。隔离件的材质可以为PP(polypropylene,聚丙烯)或PE(polyethylene,聚乙烯)等。
电池单体还包括壳体和端盖,壳体具有开口且用于容纳电极组件,电极组件可以经由壳体的开口装配到壳体内。端盖用于盖合于壳体的开口。
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。
电池单体上的泄压机构对电池单体的安全性有着重要影响。例如,当发生短路、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骤升。这种情况下通过泄压机构致动可以将内部压力向外释放,以防止 电池单体爆炸、起火。
泄压机构是指在电池单体的内部压力达到预定阈值时致动以泄放内部压力的元件或部件。该阈值设计根据设计需求不同而不同。该阈值可能取决于电池单体中的正极极片、负极极片、电解液和隔离件中一种或几种的材料。
泄压机构可以采用诸如防爆阀、气阀、泄压阀或安全阀等的形式,并可以具体采用压敏元件或构造,即,当电池单体的内部压力达到预定阈值时,泄压机构执行动作或者泄压机构中设有的薄弱结构破裂,从而形成可供内部压力泄放的开口或通道。
本申请中所提到的“致动”是指泄压机构产生动作或被激活至一定的状态,从而使得电池单体的内部压力得以被泄放。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、破碎、被撕裂或者打开,等等。泄压机构在致动时,电池单体的内部的高温高压物质作为排放物会从致动的部位向外排出。以此方式能够在可控压力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、隔离件的碎片、反应产生的高温高压气体、火焰,等等。
为了简化电池单体的结构,发明人尝试将泄压机构集成到端盖上。例如,发明人在端盖开设凹部来形成泄压部,泄压部用于在电池单体的内部压力达到阈值时致动以泄放内部压力。当发生短路、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骤升,这种情况下通过泄压部的局部破裂并向外翻折,以形成释放内部压力的通道,降低电池单体爆炸、起火的风险,从而提高安全性。
然而,发明人在发现电池单体在热失控时内部压力泄放的速率偏低的问题之后,对电池单体的结构进行了分析和研究。发明人发现,泄压部的位置与凹部的位置相对应,当泄压部在内部压力的作用下向外翻折时,泄压部容易受到凹部的侧壁的阻挡,使泄压部向外翻折的程度受限,从而造成泄压的速率偏低。
鉴于此,本申请实施例提供了一种技术方案,在该技术方案中,电池单体的端盖包括:第一凹部,从端盖面向电极组件的一侧沿背离电极组件的方向凹陷;第二凹部,从端盖背离电池单体的电极组件的一侧沿面向电极组件的方向凹陷,第二凹部的底壁包括第一部分和环绕在第一部分外侧的第二部分,第一部分和第一凹部的底壁沿端盖的厚度方向相对设置;以及泄压部,形成于第一部分和第一凹部的底壁之间,泄压部用于在电池单体的内部压力达到阈值时致动以泄放内部压力,第二部分的背离电极组件的一侧形成避让空间,以在泄压部致动时避让泄压部。具有这种结构的端盖能够降低泄压部被阻挡的风险,从而保证内部压力的泄放效率,提高电池单体的安全性。
本申请实施例描述的技术方案适用于电池以及使用电池的用电装置。
用电装置可以是车辆、手机、便携式设备、笔记本电脑、轮船、航天器、电动玩具和电动工具等等。车辆可以是燃油汽车、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;航天器包括飞机、火箭、航天飞机和宇宙飞船等等;电动玩具包括固定式或移动式的电动玩具,例如,游戏机、电动汽车玩具、电动轮船玩具和电动飞机玩具等等;电动工具包括金属切削电动工具、研磨电动工具、装配电动工具和铁道用电动工具,例如,电钻、电动砂轮机、电动扳手、电动螺丝刀、电锤、冲击电钻、混凝土振动器和电刨等等。本申请实施例对上述用电装置不做特殊限制。
以下实施例为了方便说明,以用电装置为车辆为例进行说明。

为提高第一箱体部5a与第二箱体部5b连接后的密封性,第一箱体部5a与第二箱体部5b之间也可以设置密封件,比如,密封胶、密封圈等。
假设第一箱体部5a盖合于第二箱体部5b的顶部,第一箱体部5a亦可称之为上箱盖,第二箱体部5b亦可称之为下箱体。
在电池2中,电池单体可以是一个,也可以是多个。若电池单体为多个,多个电池单体之间可串联或并联或混联,混联是指多个电池单体中既有串联又有并联。多个电池单体之间可直接串联或并联或混联在一起,再将多个电池单体构成的整体容纳于箱体5内;当然,也可以是多个电池单体先串联或并联或混联组成电池模块6,多个电池模块6再串联或并联或混联形成一个整体,并容纳于箱体5内。

在一些实施例中,如图3所示,电池单体7为多个,多个电池单体7先串联或并联或混联组成电池模块6。多个电池模块6再串联或并联或混联形成一个整体,并容纳于箱体内。
电池模块6中的多个电池单体7之间可通过汇流部件实现电连接,以实现电池模块6中的多个电池单体7的并联或串联或混联。

如图4所示,本申请实施例的电池单体7包括:壳体20,具有开口21;电极组件10,容纳于壳体20内;以及端盖30,用于盖合于壳体20的开口21。
电极组件10包括第一极片、第二极片和隔离件,隔离件用于将第一极片和第二极片隔开。第一极片和第二极片的极性相反,换言之,第一极片和第二极片中的一者为正极极片,第一极片和第二极片中的另一者为负极极片。
可选地,第一极片、第二极片和隔离件均为带状结构,第一极片、第二极片和隔离件卷绕为一体并形成卷绕结构。卷绕结构可以为圆柱状结构、扁平状结构或其它形状的结构。可替代地,第一极片和第二极片为板状结构,第一极片和第二极片均为多个,且多个第一极片和多个第二极片交替层叠。
在电池单体7中,根据实际使用需求,电极组件10可设置为单个或多个;在一些示例中,电池单体7内设置有四个独立的电极组件10。
壳体20可以为一侧开口的空心结构,也可以是两侧开口的空心结构。端盖30盖合于壳体20的开口21处并形成密封连接,以形成用于容纳电极组件10和电解液的容纳腔。

在一些实施例中,电池单体7还包括两个电极端子40,两个电极端子40可以设置在端盖30上。两个电极端子40分别为正电极端子和负电极端子。每个电极端子40各对应设置一个连接构件50,或者也可以称为集流构件,其位于端盖30与电极组件10之间,用于将电极组件10和电极端子40实现电连接。
图5为本申请一些实施例提供的电池单体的端盖的结构示意图;图6为图5所示的端盖的俯视示意图;图7为图6所示的端盖沿线A-A作出的剖视示意图;图8为图7所示的端盖在圆框B处的放大示意图。
如图5至图8所示,本申请实施例的电池单体的端盖30包括:第一凹部31,从端盖30面向电极组件的一侧沿背离电极组件的方向凹陷;第二凹部32,从端盖30背离电池单体的电极组件的一侧沿面向电极组件的方向凹陷,第二凹部的底壁321包括第一部分321a和环绕在第一部分321a外侧的第二部分321b,第一部分321a和第一凹部的底壁311沿端盖30的厚度方向Z相对设置;以及泄压部33,形成于第一部分321a和第一凹部的底壁311之间,泄压部33用于在电池单体的内部压力达到阈值时致动以泄放内部压力,第二部分321b的背离电极组件的一侧形成避让空间,以在泄压部33致动时避让泄压部33。
第一凹部31位于泄压部33的面向电极组件的一侧,而第二凹部32位于泄压部33的背离电极组件的一侧。
第一部分321a沿厚度方向Z的投影与第一凹部的底壁311沿厚度方向Z的投影完全重叠,而第二部分321b沿厚度方向Z的投影与第一凹部的底壁311沿厚度方向Z的投影不重叠。
第二部分321b为环绕在第一部分321a的外侧的环形面。对应地,第二部分321b环绕在泄压部33的外侧。
可选地,第一凹部的底壁311和第二凹部的底壁321均为平面且彼此平行。
可选地,第二凹部32还包括侧壁322,侧壁322连接于第二凹部的底壁321。
泄压部33致动时,泄压部33的至少一部分破裂,且泄压部33在内部压力的作用下沿着破裂的位置向外翻折,以形成用于泄放内部压力的通道。
发明人通过开设凹部来减小泄压部的厚度,进而减小泄压部的强度,使泄压部能够在电池单体的内部压力达到阈值时致动以泄放内部压力。在泄压部的厚度一定时,如果仅在泄压部的一侧设置凹部,那么凹部的深度较大,凹部的成型难度较大。
本实施例通过设置第一凹部31和第二凹部32来形成泄压部33,这样可以减小第一凹部31和第二凹部32对深度的要求,降低成型难度。另 外,本实施例通过减小第二凹部32的深度,能够在泄压部33向外翻折时降低第二凹部32的侧壁322阻挡泄压部33的风险。
第二凹部32位于泄压部33的背离电极组件的一侧,即第二凹部32位于泄压部33的外侧。本实施例通过设置第二凹部32可以增大泄压部33与电池单体外部的其它构件的距离,降低泄压部33被其它构件损伤的风险。
在本实施例中,当电池单体发生短路、过充等现象时,泄压部33的局部破裂并向外翻折,以形成释放内部压力的通道,降低电池单体爆炸、起火的风险,从而提高安全性。本实施例通过在第二部分321b的背离电极组件的一侧形成避让空间,以降低泄压部33被端盖30的其它部分阻挡的风险,从而保证内部压力的泄放效率,提高电池单体的安全性。
在一些实施例中,第一凹部的底壁311和/或第一部分321a设有第三凹部331,泄压部33被配置为在电池单体的内部压力达到阈值时在第三凹部331处破裂以泄放内部压力。
在本实施例中,第三凹部331可以仅设置在第一凹部的底壁311,也可以仅设置在第一部分321a,还可以同时设置第一凹部的底壁311和第一部分321a。
当第三凹部331设置于第一凹部的底壁311时,第三凹部331从第一凹部的底壁311沿背离电极组件的方向凹陷;当第三凹部331设置于第一部分321a时,第三凹部331从第一部分321a沿面向电极组件的方向凹陷。
本实施例通过设置第三凹部331,在泄压部33上形成薄弱结构。薄弱结构的强度小于泄压部33的其它部分的强度。
示例性地,可以采用机加工方式在泄压部33上去除材料以形成第三凹部331,有利于降低加工成本和加工难度。沿端盖30的厚度方向Z,薄弱结构和第三凹部331对应设置。可替代地,第三凹部331也可通过挤压泄压部33的方式形成。
本实施例通过设置第三凹部331,可以在电池单体的内部压力达到阈值时,使泄压部33沿着预定的位置破裂、翻折。
在一些实施例中,在泄压部33致动时,泄压部33的至少部分翻 折到第二凹部32内。在泄压部33致动时,泄压部33在内部压力的推动下向外翻折。
在一些实施例中,在泄压部33致动时,泄压部33的至少部分翻折避让空间。换言之,在泄压部33致动时,泄压部33与第二部分321b在厚度方向Z上至少部分地重叠。
在本实施例的避让空间可用于容纳泄压部33的至少部分,这样可以增大泄压部33的翻折幅度,以降低泄压部33对内部压力的阻挡,提高内部压力泄放的效率。
在一些实施例中,第三凹部331为环形且包括沿自身周向连续设置的第一子凹部331a和第二子凹部331b,第一子凹部331a的深度大于第二子凹部331b的深度,以在电池单体的内部压力达到阈值时,使泄压部33在第一子凹部331a处破裂并沿着第二子凹部331b的底部翻折。
第一子凹部331a的强度小于第二子凹部331b的强度。
本实施例通过设置深度不同的第一子凹部331a和第二子凹部331b,使泄压部33在设定的位置破裂,并限定泄压部33的翻折方向。本实施例在翻折的位置设置第二子凹部331b,可以降低泄压部33翻折的难度,提高内部压力的泄放效率。
在一些实施例中,第二子凹部331b沿厚度方向Z的投影为直线形。换言之,泄压部33的与第二子凹部331b相对的部分为直线形。
在一些实施例中,第三凹部331沿厚度方向Z的投影为直线形、十字形、U形或环形。
在一些实施例中,端盖30包括:本体部34,包括沿厚度方向Z相对设置的内表面341和外表面342,内表面341面向电极组件;第一凸部35,凸设于内表面341,第一凹部31从第一凸部的顶端面351沿背离电极组件的方向凹陷;以及第二凸部36,凸设于外表面342,第二凹部32从第二凸部的顶端面361沿面向电极组件的方向凹陷。
电池单体在运输、温度变化或充放电的过程中,电池单体的内部压力存在高低交替变化的情况,从而导致端盖存在往复翻动的情况。端盖长期往复翻动时,会导致泄压部出现疲劳老化,从而引发泄压部在电池单 体的内部压力未达到阈值时致动的风险。
本实施例通过设置第一凸部35和第二凸部36,以增大端盖30在泄压部33周围的强度,减小泄压部33在端盖30往复翻动的过程中的变形,降低传导到泄压部33的作用力,减缓泄压部33的疲劳老化,降低端盖30在电池单体正常使用情况下提前破裂泄压的风险,有利于提高电池单体的安全性和稳定性。
在一些实施例中,第二凹部32在厚度方向Z上的深度大于第二凸部36在厚度方向Z上的尺寸,以使第二凹部的底壁321比外表面342更靠近电极组件。
本实施例能够保证第二凹部32的深度,以增大第二凹部的底壁321和第二凸部的顶端面361沿厚度方向Z的间距,降低泄压部33被外部构件损伤的风险,提高安全性。
在一些实施例中,第一凹部31在厚度方向Z上的深度小于第一凸部35在厚度方向Z上的尺寸,以使第一凹部的底壁311比内表面341更靠近电极组件。
在电池单体倒置使用时,端盖30位于电极组件的下侧。在本实施例中,第一凹部的底壁311比内表面341更靠近电极组件,所以在电池单体的循环后期,相较于第一凹部的底壁311,电解液更容易聚集在内表面341上,也就是说,本实施例能够减少第一凹部31内的储液量,降低泄压部33受腐蚀而老化的风险。
在一些实施例中,在厚度方向Z上,第一凸部35的尺寸大于第二凸部36的尺寸。
本实施例在保证端盖30的靠近泄压部33的部分的强度的前提下,使第二凸部36具有相对较小的尺寸,这样可以减小电池单体的最大尺寸,提高能量密度。
在一些实施例中,端盖30还包括:连接部37,环绕在本体部34的外侧并沿面向电极组件的方向延伸,以在本体部34的面向电极组件的一侧形成第四凹部38;板体部39,环绕在连接部37的外侧,第四凹部38相对于板体部39的面向电极组件的表面凹陷;其中,第一凸部35容纳于第 四凹部38内。
板体部39用于连接到壳体。
本实施例通过设置第四凹部38,可以增大电池单体的内部空间,提高电池单体的容量。同时,第四凹部38还能够为第一凸部35提供空间,使第一凸部35凸出足够的尺寸,并避免第一凸部35抵压到电极组件上。
在一些实施例中,端盖30为一体形成结构。本实施例将具有泄压功能的泄压部33集成在端盖30上,以简化电池单体的结构。
图9为本申请另一些实施例提供的端盖的俯视示意图。
如图9所示,在一些实施例中,第三凹部331沿厚度方向的投影为直线形。直线形的第三凹部331的成型工艺简单。
图10为本申请又一些实施例提供的端盖的俯视示意图。
如图10所示,第三凹部331沿厚度方向的投影为十字形。当电池单体的内部压力达到阈值时,泄压部33在十字交叉点裂开,并分成四片沿四个方向向外翻折。
图11为本申请再一些实施例提供的端盖的俯视示意图。如图11所示,第三凹部331沿厚度方向的投影为U形。当电池单体的内部压力达到阈值时,泄压部33沿着U形的第三凹部331裂开,而U形的第三凹部331围成的区域均会向外翻折。
需要说明的是,在不冲突的情况下,本申请中的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互组合。
最后应说明的是:以上实施例仅用以说明本申请的技术方案,而非对其限制;尽管参照前述实施例对本申请进行了详细的说明,本领域的普通技术人员应当理解:其依然可以对前述各实施例所记载的技术方案进行修改,或者对其中部分技术特征进行等同替换,但这些修改或者替换,并不使相应技术方案的本质脱离本申请各实施例技术方案的精神和范围。
