Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of single batteries, in particular to a single battery, a battery pack provided with the single battery and an electric vehicle provided with the battery pack.
Background
Nowadays, with the continuous development of new energy automobiles, the requirement for vehicle-mounted batteries is higher and higher. The demand is reflected in that the demand for the total electric quantity of the battery pack of the new energy automobile is continuously increasing, and all of the demand is based on the continuously increasing demand for the continuous mileage of the new energy automobile. For example, in order to improve power performance, electric vehicles employ high voltage battery packs, the battery capacity of which is typically greater than 800V.
Traditionally, only be equipped with a naked electric core or a plurality of naked electric core that are in parallel state in the shell of battery, and single naked electric core or a plurality of naked electric cores of parallelly connecting all can't improve the voltage of whole battery. Since the cell voltage is typically <4.5V (e.g., the voltage of a lithium titanate-based battery is 2.4V, the voltage of a lithium iron phosphate-based battery is 3.2V, the voltage of a ternary-based battery is 3.7V, and the voltage of a multipolymer-based battery is 4.3V), it is generally necessary to increase the number of batteries in a battery pack. The greater the number of cells, the higher the weight fraction of the battery case, which results in a significant reduction in the energy density of the battery pack.
There are generally two current approaches to addressing cell high voltage, the first is to develop a high voltage chemical system (> 5V); the second is to multiply the battery voltage by the form of "inner string" of bare cells. However, the first method has a limited voltage increase degree, and the high-voltage liquid electrolyte technology is not mature, so that industrialization cannot be realized for a while; the second method adopts an 'inner string' mode, if all 'inner string' units in the battery are communicated, the liquid electrolyte cannot bear high voltage, and then the electrolyte is decomposed, so that the battery fails. Therefore, the use of solid electrolytes is required, but the technology is not yet mature at present. If all the 'inner string' units are isolated, the space utilization rate of the single battery cell is low, and the weight-to-weight ratio of the isolated part is high. The cell voltage increases, but the energy density decreases.

Detailed Description
It is easily understood that according to the technical solution of the present invention, a person skilled in the art can propose various alternative structures and implementation ways without changing the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the following detailed description and the accompanying drawings are merely illustrative of the technical aspects of the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting or restricting the technical aspects of the present invention.
The terms of orientation of up, down, left, right, front, back, top, bottom, and the like referred to or may be referred to in this specification are defined relative to the configuration shown in the drawings, and are relative terms, and thus may be changed correspondingly according to the position and the use state of the device. Therefore, these and other directional terms should not be construed as limiting terms. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," "third," and the like are used for descriptive and descriptive purposes only and not for purposes of indication or implication as to the relative importance of the respective components.
As clearly shown in fig. 1, a schematic view of two pole pieces constituting a unit cell according to the present invention is provided. The unit cells may be lithium ion batteries. In a pole core of a lithium ion battery, at least a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator, and an electrolyte are present. The positive electrode may be a lithium-containing compound, and the negative electrode may include a carbon material. When the battery is charged, lithium ions are generated on the positive electrode of the battery, and the generated lithium ions move to the negative electrode through the electrolyte. When the battery is discharged, lithium ions embedded in the negative carbon layer are extracted and move back to the positive electrode. Additionally, the pole core may be wound into a form, and thus may be referred to as a jellyroll. Alternatively, the pole core may be in the form of a lamination.
Unlike the positive and negative electrode tabs of the prior art, which are disposed on opposite sides of the pole piece, respectively, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, according to one embodiment of the present invention, each pole piece 1,1 'has a positive electrode tab 2,2' and a negative electrode tab 3,3', and the positive electrode tabs 2,2' and the negative electrode tabs 3,3 'are disposed on the same side of the pole piece 1,1' and spaced apart from each other. In addition, in contrast to the conventional "end-to-end" arrangement of multiple pole pieces in the housing, the two pole pieces 1,1 'of the present invention are oppositely disposed in spaced cavities 8,8' of the housing 4 with respect to the side on which the tabs are disposed, so that the positive tabs 2,2 'and the negative tabs 3,3' are interleaved or meshed with each other, thereby increasing space utilization within the housing 4, and thus increasing battery energy density. This relative placement is further clearly shown in fig. 6 and 9.
In fig. 3 showing the case 4 of the unit cell according to the present invention, the case 4 serves to increase the strength of the battery and ensure safe use of the battery to prevent electrolyte having corrosiveness from overflowing to the outside of the battery, causing negative effects. The case 4 may be made of plastic or metal, and in case the case 4 is made of metal, the metal is preferably aluminum or steel to facilitate heat dissipation of the battery and to improve the strength of the battery, and in case the case 4 is made of plastic, the plastic may be a polymer material such as polypropylene (PP). The housing 4 may be a rectangular parallelepiped, a cube, or a rectangular parallelepiped or a cube having a chamfer, a partial arc, a partial bend.
A partition 9 of a saw-tooth type is provided inside the housing 4 to divide the interior of the housing 4 into two chambers 8, 8'. The separator 9 is made of an insulating material, and the insulating material may be, for example, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyimide, polyamideimide, or the like. Alternatively, in addition to the above-described zigzag shape, the separator 9 may take other shapes that completely separate the positive electrode tabs 2,2' and the negative electrode tabs 3,3' facing each other, which are disposed on the same side of the pole cores 1,1', such as a step-type separator 19 as shown in fig. 9. In addition, preferably, the housing 4 may be a housing having an inner surface insulated.
The separator 9 includes a side surface facing the adjacent pole core 1,1' and a circumferential surface adjoining the side surface. The circumferential surface cooperates with the housing 4 to separate the interior of the housing 4 into two cavities 8, 8'.
The two cavities 8,8' can be used to receive the oppositely arranged pole pieces 1,1' and thus significantly reduce the spacing between the two pole pieces 1,1' and effectively increase the space utilization of the housing 4. In this case, the endurance of the electric vehicle using the unit battery and the battery pack can be effectively improved.
In addition, as further shown in fig. 3 and 4, the upper cover of the housing 4 is provided with a recess at the location of the housing 4 where the partition 9 is provided, i.e. preferably at an intermediate position of the housing 4. Four poles 6,6 'and 7,7' (i.e. positive poles 6,6 'and negative poles 7, 7') are arranged spaced apart and staggered on the recess so as to receive the positive ears 2,2 'and negative ears 3,3' of the poles 1,1', respectively, when the two poles 1,1' are placed in the two cavities 8,8 'of the casing 4, thereby achieving electrical connection between the positive ears 2,2' and negative ears 3,3 'of the poles 1,1' and the positive poles 6,6 'and negative poles 7,7' of the casing 4.
As shown in fig. 5, the edge of the lower case cover 5 of the case 4 is hermetically connected to the case 4, and the circumferential surface of the partition plate 9 and the lower case cover 5 are connected by laser welding, thereby achieving isolation of the cavity 8 from the cavity 8'. Of course, the connection may be a soldered connection, a brazed connection, an adhesive connection, a snap-fit connection, or other forms of connection known to those skilled in the art, in addition to laser welding.
In another embodiment, the unit cell may further include a separator having insulation and electrolyte corrosion resistance inside the case 4. The material of the release film may include polypropylene, polyethylene, and the like. In addition, the separator may include a plurality of layers such as an outer layer, an intermediate layer, and an inner layer, wherein the outer layer may be made of a polyester or nylon material to prevent damage to the battery from an external force, such as puncturing the battery; the intermediate layer may be made of a metal material to prevent moisture permeation and electrolyte overflow from the outside of the battery; and the inner layer may be made of polypropylene, polyethylene, or other material that is less reactive with the electrolyte of the battery and has insulation properties.
In addition, the cavities 8,8' of the casing 4 may have a pour hole, and the pour hole may be located in the large face or side face of the battery as desired. For example, a pour hole may be provided in the separator 9 (preferably, provided or interposed in the circumferential face of the separator 9) to inject the electrolyte from outside the battery into the cavity 8,8' of the case 4, in which case the case 4 is provided with a through hole at a position corresponding to the pour hole of the separator 9 for bringing the pour hole into fluid communication with the outside of the battery. Further, in the case where the battery includes a separator, a passage corresponding to the liquid injection hole and the through hole is provided in the separator for injection of the electrolytic solution from the outside of the battery. The battery further includes a block piece or a sealing member for sealing the injection hole after the injection of the electrolyte is completed.
Next, referring to fig. 6 to 8, fig. 6 shows a top view of the two pole cores of fig. 1 inserted into the case of fig. 3, fig. 7 shows a top view of the case after the insulating sheath is mounted, and fig. 8 shows a cross-sectional view of the case taken along line a-a' of fig. 7.
Fig. 6-8 clearly depict the installation process of the unit cell, and the installation process includes the following three steps:
in a first step, the core 1 is placed into one cavity 8 of the case 4 separated by a zigzag-type separator 9, and the positive and negative tabs 2 and 3 of the core 1 are received by the positive and negative posts 6 and 7 of the case 4, respectively, and thus an electrical connection is formed therebetween. At the same time, the core 1' is placed in another cavity 8' of the case 4 separated by the partition 9 of the zigzag type, and the positive tab 2' and the negative tab 3' of the core 1' are received by the positive post 6' and the negative post 7' of the case 4, respectively, and thus an electrical connection is formed therebetween. The state in which the pole piece 1 and the pole piece 1 'are placed in two separate cavities 8,8' of the housing 4 is clearly shown in fig. 6. The positive electrode tabs 2,2' and the negative electrode tabs 3,3' of the pole cores 1,1' are arranged in series in the order of "positive, negative". Alternatively, in fig. 9, the positive electrode tabs 2,2' and the negative electrode tabs 3,3' of the pole cores 1,1' are arranged in series in the order of "positive, negative, positive, negative".
In a second step, the lower housing cover 5, preferably in the shape of a cuboid, is sealingly connected at the peripheral edge with the housing 4, which can be achieved via laser welding, soldering, brazing, adhesives, snap-fit connections or the like. At the same time, the partition 9 is connected in a sealing manner at the circumferential face to the lower housing cover 5, and thus isolates the two chambers 8,8' of the housing 4, which sealing connection can likewise be achieved via laser welding, soldering, brazing, adhesives, snap-fit connections or the like.
In a third step, in the recess of the housing 4 in the middle region, the positive 6' and negative 7 posts of the housing 4 are connected by an external metal conductor 11, so that a connection between the positive tab 2' of the pole piece 1' and the negative tab 3 of the pole piece 1 is achieved. In this case, the middle two tabs 2' and 3 are connected to each other such that the two pole cores 1 and 1' are connected in series, and the other two tabs 2 and 3' serve as a positive tab and a negative tab of the unit cell, respectively. Further, the separate insulation of the positive tab 6 'and the negative tab 7 of the case 4, and thus the positive tab 2' of the core 1 'and the negative tab 3 of the core 1, from the outside of the battery is achieved by covering the insulating sleeve 10 over the positive tab 6' and the negative tab 7 of the case 4, and thus the positive tab 2 'of the core 1' and the negative tab 3 of the core 1, and hermetically connecting the insulating sleeve 10 to the case 4. Likewise, the sealed connection of the insulating sleeve 10 to the housing 4 can be achieved via laser welding, soldering, brazing, adhesives, snap-fit connections, etc. The insulating sheath 10 may be made of the same material as the separator 9, and the material may be, for example, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyimide, polyamideimide, or the like.
After sealing the cell, a pour hole is provided in the cavity 8,8' of the casing 4, and the pour hole (and associated closure or seal) may be located in the large face or side of the cell as desired. For example, a liquid injection hole may be provided in the separator 9 (preferably, in the circumferential face of the separator 9) to inject the electrolyte into the cavity 8,8' of the case 4 from outside the battery.
The above-mentioned unit cell may further include other necessary components (e.g., an explosion-proof valve, a current interrupt device, etc.) for performing its functions, which are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described herein.
Compared with the prior art, the single battery has the following beneficial effects. Although the prior art discloses the technical idea of arranging the pole core groups in the separated containing cavities and connecting the pole core groups in the containing cavities in series, thereby effectively improving the capacity and the voltage of the battery, the invention can further shorten the distance between the adjacent pole cores and further improve the energy density on the basis of the prior art, and can omit the connecting through holes in the partition boards and the packaging structure required for closing the connecting through holes and further simplify the structure of the battery. In addition, the electrode cores are directly connected in series through the electrode lugs without using the electrode posts of the shell as an intermediary in the prior art, but the electrode lugs of the electrode cores are connected with the electrode posts of the shell, and then the intermediate electrode posts are connected to form the electrode core series connection, so that the invention can preset the position of the electrode core series connection, and is convenient for the pre-manufacture of the separator and the batch production of the battery.
The invention also provides a battery pack containing the single battery and an electric vehicle using the battery pack as a power source. Due to the adoption of the battery pack according to the invention, the endurance of the electric vehicle is remarkably improved, and the production and manufacturing costs thereof are further reduced.
