下面首先简单介绍本申请实施例中涉及的基础概念。
术语“储能装置”是指将本身储存的化学能转成电能的装置,即将预先储存起的能量转化为可供外用电能的装置。
术语“燃料电池”是指一种把燃料所具有的化学能直接转换成电能的化学装置,又称电化学发电器。
术语“动力电池”是指一种为工具提供动力来源的电源,多指为电动汽车、电动列车、电动自行车、高尔夫球车提供动力的蓄电池。
本申请实施例的用电设备包括但不局限于蓝牙耳机、手机、数码、平板电脑等便携设备,以及电动摩托、电动汽车、储能电站等大型设备,本申请实施例不做限定。储能装置为用电设备提供电能。储能装置包括但不局限于动力电池、燃料电池、超级电容等中的至少一种。动力电池包括但不局限于包括锂离子动力电池、金属氢化物镍动力电池和超级电容器等。
可以理解地,为了使本领域技术人员更好地理解储能装置,储能装置以动力电池为例进行详细说明。需要说明的是,储能装置为动力电池仅用于进行说明,本申请不做具体限定,例如,储能装置的产品类型也可以根据实际需要进行设定。请一并参阅图1至图3,图1所示为本申请实施例提供的储能装置100的结构示意图;图2是图1中的储能装置100的第一视角的分解图;图3是图2中的储能装置100的第二视角的分解图。储能装置100包括壳体10、端盖组件20、电极组件30和集流构件40。电极组件30和集流构件40设置于壳体10内,壳体10与端盖组件20密封固定连接,以实现对电极组件30和集流构件40的封装。具体地,壳体10具有开口101和与开口101相连通的容纳腔102。电极组件30收容于容纳腔102内。容纳腔102还用于存储电解液,以使得电解液能够浸润电极组件30。端盖组件20包括端盖201和设置于盖板上的极柱202,电极组件30包括电芯301和与电芯301电连接的极耳302。极柱202通过集流构件40与极耳302电连接。电芯301的数量可以包括一个或多个。示例性地,在本实施例中,电极组件30包括沿储能装置100的宽度方向并排设置的两个电芯301。需要说明的是,电芯301的数量仅仅是用于进行说明,不构成具体限定,电芯301的数量需要根据实际产品设计来设计。
在一些实施例中,储能装置100还包括与端盖组件20连接的下塑胶件50。具体地,下塑胶件50固定连接于端盖201靠近壳体10的一侧。下塑胶件50设置有定位集流构件40的限位凹槽501。限位凹槽501的槽底设置有用于抵接第二连接部13的限位凸台502,从而使得集流构件40的装配过程受力均匀、定位可靠、提高组装效率和准确率。
需要说明的是,图1的目的仅在于示意性地描述壳体10、端盖组件20、电极组件30、集流构件40及下塑胶件50之间的设置方式,并非是对各个元件的连接位置、连接关系及具体构造等做具体限定。图1仅是本申请实施例示意的储能装置100的结构,并不构成对储能装置100的具体限定。在本申请另一些实施例中,储能装置100可以包括比图1所示更多或更少的部件,或者组合某些部件,或者不同的部件,例如储能装置100还可以包括但不限于温度感应器、电池管理系统、连接线束等等。
请一并参阅图2、图4和图5,图4是图3中的储能装置100的集流构件40的第一视角的分解图;图5是图4中的集流构件40的转接片1的展开示意图。集流构件40包括转接片1和绝缘件3。转接片1包括第一连接部11、第二连接部13和连接第一连接部11和第二连接部13的可弯折连接部15。第一连接部11和第二连接部13之间相对设置。绝缘件3位于可相对翻折的第一连接部11和第二连接部13之间。可弯折连接部15开设有通孔150,以在通孔150相对两侧形成连接第一连接部11和第二连接部13的第一熔断部151和第二熔断部
152。在转接片1处于展开状态下,通孔150具有第一直线段1501、第一转角段1502、第二转角段1503及第二直线段1504,第一直线段1501与第一转角段1502连接并与第一熔断部151邻接,第二直线段1504与第二转角段1503连接并与第二熔断部152邻接,第一转角段1502和第二转角段1503均呈圆角设置。第一直线段1501与第一熔断部151远离第一直线段1501的一端的距离为第一距离D1,第一转角段1502远离第一直线段1501的一端与第一熔断部151远离第一转角段1502的一端的距离为第二距离D2,第一距离D1小于第二距离D2;第二直线段1504与第二熔断部152远离第二直线段1504的一端的距离为第三距离D3,第二转角段1503远离第二直线段1504的一端与第二熔断部152远离第二转角段1503的一端的距离为第四距离D4,第三距离D3小于第四距离D4。
需要说明的是,为了方便说明本申请的技术方案,参看图5,转接片1处于展开状态是指转接片1的可弯折连接部15未弯折的状态,此时第一连接部11、第二连接部13及可弯折连接部15共面设置。转接片1处于展开状态仅仅为了描述通孔150的准确性,并不是储能装置100的产品使用状态。在使用状态下,转接片1的可弯折连接部15弯折,且第一连接部11与第二连接部13相对设置。
本申请实施例提供的集流构件40,第一方面,通过在可弯折连接部15上开设有通孔150,因此储能装置100在失控时产生的巨大电流能够作用于第一熔断部151和第二熔断部152,以将第一熔断部151和第二熔断部152熔断,以使得第一连接部11与第二连接部13之间形成开路状态,没有电压输出,对储能装置100起到保护作用,不会产生爆炸、起火的现象,并且绝缘件3能够增加第一熔断部151和第二熔断部152两侧的第一连接部11和第二连接部13的绝缘,进而进一步增加灭弧效果;第二方面,通孔150的第一转角段1502和第二转角段1503均呈圆角设置,从而避免转接片1划伤极耳302,提高生产良率;第三方面,通过设置第一直线段1501与第一熔断部151远离第一直线段1501的一端的距离小于第一转角段1502远离第一直线段1501的一端与第一熔断部151远离第一转角段1502的一端的距离;第二直线段1504与第二熔断部152远离第二直线段1504的一端的距离小于第二转角段1503远离第二直线段1504的一端与第二熔断部152远离第二转角段1503的一端的距离,从而使得转接片1的熔断位置更加靠近可弯折连接部15的机械疲劳区域,熔断效应更容易形成,提升储能装置100的安全性。
在一些实施例中,第一连接部11、第二连接部13及可弯折连接部15的边角均呈圆角设置,从而进一步避免转接片1对极耳302造成损伤的问题。在本实施例中,通孔150为方形孔,例如正方形孔或长方形孔。可选地,示例性地,在本实施例中,长方形孔为带椭圆长方形孔。在其它一些实施例中,通孔150还可以为菱形孔,矩形孔,多边形孔、椭圆形孔、腰形孔、圆形孔等,本申请不作具体限定。
可选地,在一些实施例中,第一熔断部151的熔断方向F11和第二熔断部152的熔断方向F12均垂直于可弯折连接部15的弯折方向F2,从而确保第一熔断部151和第二熔断部152的熔断更易形成,以及便利于转接片1的弯折。需要说明的是,第一熔断部151的熔断方向F11和第二熔断部152的熔断方向F12是指垂直于转接片1的电流方向的方向,第一熔断部151的熔断方向F11是指第一直线段1501到第一熔断部151远离第一直线段1501的一端的方向,第二熔断部152的熔断方向F12是指第二直线段1504到第二熔断部152远离第二直线段1504的一端的方向。转接片1的电流方向平行于可弯折连接部15的弯折方向F2。
第一距离D1与第二距离D2的比值为0.7-0.95,第三距离D3和第四距离D4的比值为0.7-0.95,从而保证第一熔断部151和第二熔断部152的熔断可靠性,同时保证转接片1具
有强度高、不易断裂的特性。例如,第一距离D1与第二距离D2的比值及第三距离D3和第四距离D4的比值为0.7、0.73、0.75、0.77、0.8、0.85、0.88、0.9、0.93或0.95等等。示例性地,在本实施例中,第一距离D1为7mm,第二距离D2为8mm,第一距离D1与第二距离D2的比值为0.88。
第一转角段1502和第二转角段1503的数量均包括两个,两个第一转角段1502连接于第一直线段1501的相对两端,两个第二转角段1503连接于第二直线段1504的相对两端,通孔150还包括与第一转角段1502和第二转角段1503连接的第三直线段1505和第四直线段1506,第一直线段1501、两个第一转角段1502、两个第二转角段1503、第二直线段1504、第三直线段1505及第四直线段1506合围形成通孔150。由此,这样所制作而成的冲裁模具结构简单,并且开合模更加方便,同时,通过通孔150使可弯折连接部15的弯折位置所需弯折的长度减少,更加利于弯折成型。
第一直线段1501和第二直线段1504的长度相等且为第一长度L1,第三直线段1505和第四直线段1506之间的距离为第五距离D5,第一长度L1与第五距离D5的比值为3/7-9/10,从而确保可弯折连接部15易折弯的机械疲劳区与第一熔断部151和第二熔断部152的熔断形成的位置高度重合,进而第一熔断部151和第二熔断部152的熔断更容易发生。例如,第一长度L1与第五距离D5的比值可以为但不局限于0.4、0.5、0.6、0.7、0.8或0.9等等。
在一些实施例中,第三直线段1505和第四直线段1506的长度相等且为第二长度L2,第一直线段1501与第二直线段1504之间的距离为第六距离D6,第二长度L2与第六距离D6的比值为0.4-0.9,从而保证第一熔断部151和第二熔断部152的熔断可靠性,同时保证转接片1具有强度高、不易断裂的特性。例如,第二长度L2与第六距离D6的比值可以为但不局限于0.4、0.5、0.6、0.7、0.8或0.9等等。
其中,第一转角段1502和第二转角段1503的圆角半径均为0.5mm-1.5mm,以避免第一熔断部151和第二熔断部152在弯折过程中发生断裂的问题。例如,在一些实施例中,第一转角段1502和第二转角段1503的圆角半径为0.5mm、1.0mm、1.5mm等等。需要说明的是,第一转角段1502和第二转角段1503的圆角半径仅仅是用于进行说明,不构成具体限定,第一转角段1502和第二转角段1503的圆角半径需要根据实际产品设计来设计。
在一些实施例中,第一熔断部151远离第一直线段1501的一端与第二熔断部152远离第二直线段1504的一端的距离为第七距离D7,第六距离D6与第七距离D7的比值为0.15-0.25,从而确保第一熔断部151和第二熔断部152的熔断更容易发生,同时避免转接片1的第一熔断部151和第二熔断部152在弯折过程中发生应力疲劳甚至出现断裂的现象,提高了转接片1的使用可靠性。例如,第六距离D6与第七距离D7的比值可以为但不局限于0.15、0.2或0.25等等。示例性地,在本实施例中,第六距离D6为3mm,第七距离D7为18mm。第六距离D6与第七距离D7的比值为0.17。
在一些实施例中,通孔150的第六距离D6在转接片1的电流方向(即自第三直线段1505到第四直线段1506的方向)上自通孔150的中部朝两侧的方向逐渐递减,从而确保第一熔断部151和第二熔断部152在通孔150的中部能够发生熔断,同时保证第一熔断部151和第二熔断部152的两侧边与第一连接部11和第二连接部13之间的连接强度,以进一步避免转接片1在翻转弯折过程中出现断裂的问题。
可选地,在本实施例中,第一连接部11、绝缘件3及第二连接部13在集流构件40的厚度方向上叠置。由此,一方面,使得集流构件40的整体结构更紧凑,节省空间;另一方面,第一连接部11与第二连接部13在转接片1的厚度方向上通过绝缘件3隔开设置,从而避免
第一连接部11与第二连接部13之间发生短路的问题,并且绝缘件3在第一连接部11与第二连接部13之间起到缓冲作用,增强可弯折连接部15的结构强度,从而避免可弯折连接部15弯折后出现褶皱或发生断裂的问题。
需要说明的是,为了更清楚地描述,将X轴方向定义为储能装置100的长度方向,Y轴方向定义为储能装置100的宽度方向,Z轴方向定义为储能装置100的高度方向。其中,集流构件40的长度方向及转接片1的长度方向为平行储能装置100的长度方向的方向,集流构件40的宽度方向及转接片1的宽度方向为平行储能装置100的宽度方向的方向,集流构件40的高度方向(即集流构件40的厚度方向)及转接片1的高度方向为平行储能装置100的高度方向的方向。示例性地,以Z轴方向的箭头方向为上,与Z轴方向的箭头方向相反的方向为下。
第一连接部11包括第一焊接区111,第二连接部13包括第二焊接区131。第一焊接区111与第二焊接区131在第一连接部11上的正投影间隔设置,从而进一步避免第一连接部11与第二连接部13接触而引发短路的风险。在一些实施例中,第一焊接区111与第二焊接区131在第一连接部11上的正投影邻接设置或者至少部分重叠设置,从而缩短了转接片1的长度,进而节省空间、减轻重量、降低导电连接构件的材料用量、节省成本。
可弯折连接部15包括但不局限于C字型结构、U字型结构、V字型结构或波浪型结构,从而确保第一熔断部151和第二熔断部152能够顺利弯折,提升产品量产良率。示例性地,在本实施例中,第一熔断部151和第二熔断部152构造为C字型结构,从而降低第一熔断部151和第二熔断部152局部弯折,减小弯曲疲劳,防止第一熔断部151和第二熔断部152断裂,以及减小第一熔断部151和第二熔断部152弯折后在转接片1的宽度方向上的占用空间。
请一并参阅图6至图7,图6是图2中的集流构件40的转接片1的俯视图;图7是图6中的集流构件40的转接片1沿A-A线的剖视图。转接片1沿第一对折轴线P1对折形成两层转接片主体110,两层转接片主体110之间形成间隙120。由此,一方面,避免转接片1在第一对折轴线P1处发生断裂的问题;另一方面,间隙120可以作为供极耳302插入的通道,并且可以为转接片主体110再次弯折提供应力释放空间,以提高转接片1的抗断裂强度。可以理解地,间隙120太大则不利于两层转接片主体110对折,间隙120太小则转接片1沿第一对折轴线P1弯折时容易发生断裂,且不利于极耳302安装并容易损伤极耳302。可选地,间隙120大致为0.3mm-3mm,从而确保两层转接片主体110对折顺畅,以及方便安装极耳302并保护极耳302免受损坏。例如,在一些实施例中,间隙120为0.3mm、0.5mm、0.7mm、1mm、1.5mm、2mm、2.5mm、3mm等等。需要说明的是,间隙120的尺寸仅仅是用于进行说明,不构成具体限定,间隙120需要根据实际产品设计来设计。
转接片1在第一对折轴线P1处形成有弧形结构130,从而进一步避免转接片1在第一对折轴线P1处发生断裂的问题,以及方便弯折加工及提高极耳302组装效率。其中,转接片1沿第一对折轴线P1对折180度,从而确保转接片主体110的表面平整且呈叠置结构,从而确保两层转接片主体110更容易折弯,可吸收、分散折弯时的应力,且转接片1为折叠设置,可节省空间、增加转接片1的整体厚度。
两层转接片主体110沿第二对折轴线P2对折形成第一连接部11、第二连接部13和可弯折连接部15,第一对折轴线P1平行于第二对折轴线P2。由此,第一方面,两层转接片主体110作为抗弯折加厚层,可以提高第一熔断部151和第二熔断部152的结构强度,并降低弯折角度过大对线材带来的损伤;第二方面,避免第一对折轴线P1与第二对折轴线P2相交二出现弯折异常及占用空间大等问题,进而方便加工,降低了生产的报废率。第三方面,转接
片1作为一个整体沿第一对折轴线P1对折后再沿第二对折轴线P2弯折,方便弯折加工、实现弯折加工的标准化并提高加工精度。其中,两层转接片主体110沿第二对折轴线P2对折180度,从而确保第一连接部11和第二连接部13的表面平整,方便分别与极柱202和极耳302进行焊接,提高焊接质量,以及节省空间。
集流构件40的第一连接部11与极柱202电连接,集流构件40的第二连接部13与极耳302电连接,从而确保第一连接部11与极柱202及第二连接部13与极耳302之间的连接面积,提高第一连接部11与极柱202及第二连接部13与极耳302之间的连接强度,防止在储能装置100的使用过程中第一连接部11与极柱202分离及第二连接部13与极耳302之间分离。
具体地,间隙120包括供极耳302插入的插接空间135。第二连接部13的转接片主体110包括第一连接片133和第二连接片134,插接空间135形成于第一连接片133与第二连接片134之间,从而实现第二连接部13包夹极耳302,进而避免极耳302免受损伤,提升极耳302稳固度。在极耳302插接至第一连接片133和第二连接片134之间形成的插接空间135后,再通过焊接方式实现极耳302与第二连接部13的电连接,从而提高了极耳302与第二连接部13之间连接的稳固性和可靠性。
可以理解地,冲裁是利用冲模使零件的部分材料与另一部分材料分离的一种冲压工序。转接片1一般是通过在片状板材上冲裁形成,即零件包括待冲裁掉的冲裁部分和冲裁后留下的转接片1部分。转接片1在冲裁工艺下会在转接片1的边缘形成毛刺。需要说明的是,毛刺的朝向与转接片1的冲裁方向相同。示例性地,在本实施例中,转接片1的冲裁方向大致垂直于零件所在的延伸平面,即零件的冲裁断面垂直于零件所在的延伸平面。可选地,第一连接片133相对第二连接片134靠近第一连接部11,第二连接片134相对第一连接片133远离第一连接部11,第一连接片133的冲裁方向朝向第一连接部11,并且与第二连接片134的冲裁方向相反,从而避免冲裁边沿的毛刺划伤极耳302而造成极耳302破裂的风险。具体地,第一连接片133的冲裁方向朝上,第二连接片134的冲裁方向朝下,以使得第一连接片133的边缘的毛刺及第二连接片134的边缘的毛刺朝远离插接空间135一侧延伸,从而大大降低毛刺划伤极耳302的风险,提高生产良率。
示例性地,在本实施例中,转接片1可以包括一片金属箔片,从而节约成本,减轻重量,以及便利于转接片1的弯折。在其它一些实施例中,转接片1还可以包括多片金属箔片。所有金属箔片层叠设置,并沿所述第一对折轴线P1对折后形成两层转接片主体110。由此,通过将转接片1配置为多层的叠置结构,使得叠置结构的厚度增加,以更好吸收、分散折弯时的应力,从而避免转接片1在弯折过程中出现的断裂问题,且所有金属箔片集成为一体式结构,从而确保极耳302免受损坏,并能够顺畅插入至两层转接片主体110之间。此外,最内层的金属箔片发生熔断后,能够快速断开第一连接部11和第二连接部13之间的电路,绝缘件3能够进一步避免最外层的金属箔片发生蠕变导致第一连接部11和第二连接部13容易搭接的问题。其中,金属箔片可以为但不局限于铝箔片、铜箔片等。金属箔片的厚度T为0.02mm-0.4mm,从而增强转接片1的整体结构强度,并方便弯折加工。
请一并参阅图2、图4和图8,图8是图4中的储能装置100的集流构件40的第二视角的分解图。绝缘件3包括用于与可弯折连接部15抵接的限位面310。可弯折连接部15围绕限位面310翻转并弯折。可以理解地,示例性地,在本实施例中,转接片1可以为正极转接片。正极转接片为铝箔片或铝合金箔片。由于铝箔片或铝合金箔片的材质偏软,因此正极转接片过度弯折后容易发生断裂。在一些实施例中,转接片1也可以为负极转接片。负极转接
片为铜箔片或铜合金箔片,铜箔片或铜合金箔片过度弯折后也容易发生断裂。由此,本申请提供的集流构件40,基于在第一连接部11和第二连接部13之间增设绝缘件3,第一方面,绝缘件3能够为可弯折连接部15做缓冲处理,从而绝缘件3能够吸收、分散可弯折连接部15在弯折时的应力,以提高了可弯折连接部15在弯折过程中的结构受力强度,进而能够有效地避免可弯折连接部15受力过大而出现断裂的问题,延长了可弯折连接部15的使用寿命。第二方面,可弯折连接部15围绕限位面310翻转并弯折,从而限位面310起到导引可弯折连接部15弯折的作用,并且对可弯折连接部15在弯折过程中起到支撑作用,从而转接片1更容易折弯。第三方面,由于绝缘件3与转接片1绝缘设置,因此可以避免第一连接部11与第二连接部13搭接而出现短路的问题。第四方面,转接片1折叠设置,从而可节省空间。
可选地,在一些实施例中,限位面310为弧形面,从而避免因不规则的限位面310产生剐蹭或撞击转接片1的风险;或者,避免因不规则的限位面310而导致安装困难的问题,进而实现对可弯折连接部15进行保护。在其它一些实施例中,限位面310的形状还可以呈但不局限于波浪形、多边形等,本申请不做具体限定。

可选地,在一些实施例中,第一连接部11、限位本体31、活动翻盖33及第二连接部13在集流构件40的厚度方向上依次叠置设置,从而使得集流构件40的整体结构更紧凑,节省空间、便于装取绝缘件3等有益效果。
在本实施例中,限位本体31与活动翻盖33一体成型。绝缘件3配置为可弯折结构。例如,绝缘件3被配置为可弯折和展开的弹片。由此,一方面,提高了限位本体31与活动翻盖33之间的连接强度、提高了绝缘件3与转接片1之间的组装效率,以及方便绝缘件3的加工生产工艺;另一方面,活动翻盖33能够削弱绝缘件3受到可弯折连接部15的挤压力,以防止绝缘件3表面受压发生凹陷变形,使得绝缘件3具有良好的抗压能力,进而提高绝缘件3对可弯折连接部15的缓冲效果。在一些实施例中,限位本体31与活动翻盖33还可以通过转轴、合页等方式转动连接在一起,本申请不作具体限定。

可选地,在一些实施例,限位本体31开设有暴露第一焊接区111的窗口311。集流构件40还包括第一绝缘膜5。第一绝缘膜5设置于窗口311处,并遮盖窗口311。由此,一方面,第一绝缘膜5能够阻挡第一连接部11处的焊渣、生锈的碎渣等金属屑落入储能装置100内部而引发短路的风险,有助于提高储能装置100的良品率及安全性;另一方面,第一绝缘膜5
还能够进一步避免第一连接部11与第二连接部13接触而出现短路的问题。
在一些实施例中,绝缘件3遮盖至少部分通孔150。由此,第一方面,确保在第一绝缘膜5和第二绝缘膜6发生位移后,绝缘件3仍能够将第一连接部11和第二连接部13隔离设置,以防止接触短路;第二方面,第一熔断部151和第二熔断部152熔断后,绝缘件3的设置能够避免第一连接部11与第二连接部13再次搭接而引发短路的问题。第三方面,避免焊渣、生锈的碎渣等金属屑通过通孔150进入储能装置100的内部而引发安全隐患的问题。
请一并参阅图4、图8和图9,图9是图2中的储能装置100的集流构件40的局部分解图。在本实施例中,窗口311呈方形,即限位本体31在窗口311的四周形成有用于抵接第一绝缘膜5的边缘部,从而增大了限位本体31与第一绝缘膜5的接触面积,即增大限位本体31与第一绝缘膜5之间的摩擦力,进而降低第一绝缘膜5出现脱落或移位的风险,使用安全性高,寿命长。窗口311的侧壁与第一绝缘膜5合围形成收容槽312,收容槽312用于收纳焊渣、生锈的碎渣等金属屑,从而避免在运动过程中出现剐蹭第二连接部13的现象,以及确保焊渣、生锈的碎渣等金属屑不会溢出第一绝缘膜5,这种设计为用户节省了使用成本,储能装置100的比能量高,储能装置100的结构紧凑,节省了安装空间。

在本实施例中,第一绝缘膜5的数量可以选择为是单层,也可以是多层。作为示例,多层的第一绝缘膜5例如是两层、三层、四层或更多层。需要说明的是,第一绝缘膜5的数量仅仅是用于进行说明,不构成具体限定。示例性地,第一绝缘膜5的厚度为0.05mm-0.5mm。
第一绝缘膜5的厚度需要根据实际产品设计进行确定,第一绝缘膜5过薄可能容易损坏,而第一绝缘膜5过厚又会增加储能装置100的重量,降低储能装置100的能量密度。

示例性地,在本实施例中,集流构件40还包括第二绝缘膜6,第二绝缘膜6夹持于第一绝缘膜5和活动翻盖33之间,由此,一方面,第二绝缘膜6能够阻挡第二连接部13处的焊渣、生锈的碎渣等金属屑落入储能装置100内部而引发短路的风险,有助于提高储能装置100的良品率及安全性;另一方面,第二绝缘膜6还能够进一步避免第一连接部11与第二连接部13接触而出现短路的问题。
可选地,第二连接部13包括第二焊接区131。活动翻盖33对应第二焊接区131的位置处开设有缺口330,以暴露出第二绝缘膜6。由此,第二绝缘膜6能够覆盖所有第二焊接区131,从而进一步避免第二连接部13处的焊渣、生锈的碎渣等金属屑落入储能装置100内部而引发短路的风险,提高储能装置100的良品率及安全性。缺口330开设于活动翻盖33背离

请一并参阅图11和图12,图11是图4中的集流构件40的绝缘件3的放大图;图12是图11中的集流构件40的绝缘件3沿C-C线的剖视图。在一些实施例中,绝缘件3在集流构件40的厚度方向上的厚度H为1mm-3mm,即绝缘件3的整体厚度为0.03mm-5mm。由此,一方面,避免转接片1的可弯折连接部15在弯折过程中发生应力疲劳甚至出现断裂的现象,提高了转接片1的使用可靠性;另一方面,减小绝缘件3在集流构件40的厚度方向上的占用空间,有效的缩减了集流构件40的厚度,进步适应了集流构件40小型化的市场需求。
可以理解地,可弯折连接部15的曲率半径随绝缘件3在集流构件40的厚度方向上的厚度H的增大而增大,绝缘件3在集流构件40的厚度方向上的厚度H过小,可弯折连接部15的曲率半径小,从而导致可弯折连接部15在弯折过程中发生断裂的问题;而绝缘件3在集流构件40的厚度方向上的厚度H过大,可弯折连接部15的曲率半径大,从而会增加储能装置100的重量,增大绝缘件3对储能装置100的内部空间的占用,降低储能装置100的能量密度。可选地,绝缘件3在集流构件40厚度方向上的厚度H为2mm,从而更好地兼顾绝缘件3的整体厚度和可弯折连接部15的曲率半径。例如,在一些实施例中,绝缘件3在集流构件40厚度方向上的厚度H为0.3mm、0.05mm、0.07mm、1mm、1.5mm、2mm、2.5mm、3mm、3.5mm、4mm、4.5mm、5mm等等。需要说明的是,绝缘件3的厚度H尺寸仅仅是用于进行说明,不构成具体限定,绝缘件3的厚度H需要根据实际产品设计来设计。

需要根据实际产品设计来设计。
示例性地,在本实施例中,活动翻盖33整体可以呈L型结构。具体地,活动翻盖33包括与限位本体31连接固定部331和连接于固定部331背离限位本体31一侧的延伸部332。固定部331的长度C3等大于延伸部332的长度C4,以确保固定部331与限位本体31之间的连接强度。在一些实施例中,活动翻盖33整体还可以呈C型结构或U型结构,从而进一步增大活动翻盖33与第二绝缘膜6之间的夹持面积,进而降低第一绝缘膜5在储能装置100运动过程中发生移位或脱离的现象。在一些实施例中,缺口330的转角均呈圆角设置,从而避免绝缘件3损伤第二绝缘膜6。
可以理解地,为了兼顾固定部331与延伸部332及限位本体31之间的连接强度、绝缘件3的夹持力及第二绝缘膜6在缺口330处的暴露面积,固定部331的宽度W1大致为2mm-6mm,延伸部332的宽度W2为5mm-10mm。例如,在一些实施例中,固定部331的宽度W1为2mm、3mm、4mm、5mm、6mm等等,延伸部332的宽度W2为5mm、6mm、7mm、8mm、9mm、10mm等等。需要说明的是,固定部331的宽度W1及延伸部332的宽度W2尺寸仅仅是用于进行说明,不构成具体限定,固定部331的宽度W1及延伸部332的宽度W2需要根据实际产品设计来设计。
需要说明的是,第一绝缘膜5的材料适用于第二绝缘膜6的材料,具体细节参看上述实施例的介绍,此处不再赘述。第二绝缘膜6的材料可以与第一绝缘膜5的材料不同;或者,还可以与第一绝缘膜5的材料相同。可选地,第一绝缘膜5的颜色不同于第二绝缘膜6的颜色,从而方便分辨,提高组装效率及准确率,以及在机器检测或人工检测的过程中,便于判断第一绝缘膜5和第二绝缘膜6是否发生缺失、移位、脱离等问题。示例性地,在本实施例中,第一绝缘膜5为蓝色绝缘膜,第二绝缘膜6为绿色绝缘膜。在一些实施例中,第一绝缘膜5与第二绝缘膜6的颜色也可以相同;或者,第一绝缘膜5与第二绝缘膜6的颜色分别为其它颜色,本申请不做具体限定。
可选地,在一些实施例中,第一连接部11和第二连接部13中的至少一者设置有锚定第一绝缘膜5和第二绝缘膜6的锚定件,从而进一步避免第一绝缘膜5和第二绝缘膜6发生移位或脱离的现象。例如,锚定件可以构造为在第一连接部11和第二连接部13上设置的卡钩结构或凸起结构,第一绝缘膜5和第二绝缘膜6开设有卡钩结构或凸起结构相配合的卡孔。
其中,缺口330在第一绝缘膜5上的正投影与窗口311在第一绝缘膜5上的正投影间隔设置,即活动翻盖33的延伸部332与限位本体31相止挡。由此,一方面,避免第一连接部11与第二连接部13接触而引发短路的风险;另一方面,避免焊渣、生锈的碎屑等碎渣经过窗口311和缺口330而与第一连接部11或第二连接部13接触而引发短路的风险;再一方面,避免活动翻盖33推动第一绝缘膜5和第二绝缘膜6而发生位移的现象。
绝缘件3设置于可弯折连接部15对应的位置处,从而确保可弯折连接部15能够顺利弯折,提升产品量产良率。可选地,绝缘件3与可弯折连接部15抵接设置,从而确保可弯折连接部15能够绕绝缘件3翻转并折弯。在一些实施例中,绝缘件3与可弯折连接部15间隔预设距离,从而可弯折连接部15提供形变空间。其中,预设距离大致为1mm-3mm,以确保可弯折连接部15能够绕绝缘件3翻转并折弯。
在一些实施例中,绝缘件3设置于第一连接部11和第二连接部13重叠的区域内,从而确保第一连接部11和第二连接部13能够带动绝缘件3压紧第一绝缘膜5和第二绝缘膜6,进而避免第一绝缘膜5和第二绝缘膜6发生移位的问题。
示例性地,在本实施例中,绝缘件3为塑料结构。塑料结构例如是但不局限于PET片材、PE片材、PS片材等其它片材。由此,一方面,实现绝缘件3的绝缘效果;另一方面,提高绝
缘件3的缓冲效果;再一方面,降低生产成本;又一方面,增大了与第一绝缘膜5和第二绝缘膜6的摩擦力,避免第一绝缘膜5和第二绝缘膜6发生移位。在一些实施例中,绝缘件3还可以为具有绝缘效果的其它结构,例如但不局限于石棉或云母等。
可选地,绝缘件3配置为片状结构,从而便利于活动翻盖33相对限位本体31发生翻转对折,以及减小绝缘件3对集流构件40的占用空间,节省生产成本;另一方面,确保活动翻盖33相对限位本体31对折后具有平整的表面,以更好地压紧第一绝缘膜5和第二绝缘膜6。
请一并参阅图13至图15,图13是图1中的储能装置100的俯视图;图14是图13中的储能装置沿D-D线的剖视图;图15是图14中的储能装置中的I部分的放大图。在第一连接部11相对第二连接部13翻转对折后,第一连接部11、限位本体31、第一绝缘膜5、第二绝缘膜6、活动翻盖33及第二连接部13在集流构件40的厚度方向堆叠设置,从而有效的缩减了转接片1的厚度,进步适应了转接片1小型化的市场需求。
第一连接部11相对第二连接部13翻转对折能够带动活动翻盖33相对限位本体31发生翻转并弯折,以使得第一绝缘膜5和第二绝缘膜6压紧于限位本体31和活动翻盖33之间,一方面避免第一绝缘膜5和第二绝缘膜6发生移位;另一方面,活动翻盖33相对限位本体31发生翻转并弯折后增大了绝缘件3在集流构件40在厚度方向上的厚度,以更好吸收、分散折弯时的应力,从而避免转接片1在弯折过程中出现的断裂问题。
极耳302伸入下塑胶件50的限位凹槽501内,并容纳于第一连接片133和第二连接片134之间形成的插接空间135内,从而实现第一连接片133和第二连接片134夹紧极耳302。具体地,极耳302包括与电芯301连接的第一连接段3021、与第二连接部13连接的第二连接段3022和连接于第一连接段3021和第二连接段3022的第三连接段3023。第一连接段3021与第二连接段3022间隔设置,且均相对第三连接段3023朝同一方向弯折,从而能够提高极耳302的弯折程度,有效的节省储能装置100的内部空间,同时避免极耳302在弯折时与转接片1接触,防止储能装置100内短路,并提高储能装置100的能量密度。
