In order to clearly explain the present disclosure, components that are not related to the description are omitted, and the same reference numerals are given to the same or similar components throughout the specification.
Throughout the specification, when a device is referred to as being "connected" to another device, this includes not only the case of being "directly connected" but also the case of being "indirectly connected" with another element interposed therebetween. In addition, when a device "includes" a certain constituent element, unless otherwise specified, it means that the other constituent element is not excluded, but may be included.
Although the terms first, second, etc. may be used herein to describe various elements in some instances, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another. For example, the first interface and the second interface are represented. Also, as used herein, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms "comprises," "comprising," "includes" and/or "including," when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, steps, operations, elements, modules, items, species, and/or groups, but do not preclude the presence, or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, modules, items, species, and/or groups thereof.

At present, the explosion-proof valve of the lithium battery generally adopts an explosion-proof sheet structure and is used for bursting the explosion-proof sheet of the explosion-proof valve to release pressure when the lithium battery generates a large amount of gas due to thermal runaway. However, the explosion-proof sheet directly expands and breaks to damage the top cover of the explosion-proof valve, so that the explosion-proof valve is scrapped; and only after the gas pressure in the lithium battery reaches the critical value for bursting the explosion-proof sheet, the exhaust can be realized, and when the gas pressure does not reach the critical value, the pressure of the battery cannot be released, so that hidden danger exists. In addition, the existing lithium battery explosion-proof valve is lack of an alarm function for thermal runaway of the lithium battery, and potential safety hazards to users also exist. Moreover, the vent hole is inevitably arranged on the lithium battery explosion-proof valve, but the vent hole is not considered to be deficient in water resistance, dust resistance and the like, and the vent channel is possibly blocked by water or dust entering the lithium battery explosion-proof valve, so that the explosion-proof valve is disabled and other serious consequences are caused.
In view of this, the embodiment of the present disclosure may provide a battery explosion-proof valve, which realizes that the valve plug is driven by the air pressure of the lithium battery to perform air exhaust and automatic reset, thereby prolonging the service life. In addition, the battery explosion-proof valve can be matched with a sound production structure to give an alarm, and the purposes of dust prevention, water prevention and no influence on exhaust can be achieved.
Please refer to fig. 1 and fig. 2 together. Fig. 1 shows a schematic perspective view of a battery explosion-proof valve in an embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 2 shows a longitudinal section structure schematic diagram of the battery explosion-proof valve in fig. 1.
As shown in fig. 2, the battery explosion-proof valve 100 specifically includes: a valve casing, a valve core 102, an elastic telescopic piece 103, a sound production structure 104 and a dustproof and waterproof breathable film 105.
In fig. 1, the valve housing and the valve core 102 are illustratively cylindrical such that the battery explosion prevention valve 100 is generally cylindrical in shape.
Illustratively, the valve housing may be a split structure to enable internal installation of components. The valve housing includes a valve body 101 at an upper portion and a base 108 connected to a bottom of the valve body 101. The valve body 101 and the base 108 can be fixedly connected by welding, screwing or the like. An inner space is enclosed between the valve body 101 and the base 108.
The valve casing still be equipped with air intake portion 107 and the exhaust portion of inner space intercommunication, the valve casing bottom is located to air intake portion 107, the exhaust portion is located the lateral wall of valve casing. In the example of fig. 1, the air inlet 107 may be located at a lower end of the base 108. The cross section of the air inlet end can be circular corresponding to the valve body 101, so that the air inlet end is beneficial to rotating and fixing; of course, other shapes are possible. The air inlet is fixedly connected with a pressure relief part of the battery. In a specific embodiment, the battery explosion-proof valve 100 may be welded and fixed to and communicate with a pressure relief hole of a lithium battery top cover by welding (e.g., laser welding, etc.) for receiving gas exhausted from the pressure relief hole.
In fig. 1 and 2, the air vent portion is covered with a dust-and water-proof air-permeable film 105. In some embodiments, the air discharge portion may be a mouth portion, or a plurality of small holes, or a strip-shaped hole portion. For example, the exhaust portion may be at least one exhaust hole circumferentially continuously or sectionally provided along the side surface of the valve housing, that is, the exhaust hole surface shape may be a ring shape or an arc shape extending circumferentially along the side surface of the valve body 101. For example, there may be at least two exhaust holes, which are arc holes symmetrically disposed at two opposite positions on the side surface of the valve body 101; alternatively, it may be an annular hole.
The valve body 102 is disposed in the internal space corresponding to the air intake portion 107 and is disposed to be vertically movable in the internal space. The internal space may be configured to limit the valve core 102 to move only in a substantially vertical direction, for example, the air inlet 107 forms a funnel-shaped guide structure corresponding to a predetermined position for accommodating the valve core 102, and the internal space and the cross-sectional diameter of the valve core 102 are configured to prevent the valve core 102 from being supported by the guide structure when the valve core 102 returns after moving away from the air inlet 107, so that the valve core 102 can be guided back to the predetermined position by the guide structure.
The elastic expansion piece 103 is disposed in the inner space, and two ends of the elastic expansion piece respectively correspond to the valve core 102 and the valve body. Illustratively, the elastic expansion member 103 is a spring, and two ends of the elastic expansion member respectively abut against the upper surface of the valve core 102 and the inner top wall of the valve body 101.
As shown in fig. 2, the elastic expansion element 103 may be configured to have a certain compression deformation state, and form an elastic force to press the valve element 102 to block the air inlet 107.
Therefore, when thermal runaway occurs in the battery and a large amount of gas is released, the internal pressure of the battery shell rises sharply, and when the internal pressure exceeds the sum of the elastic force of the elastic expansion piece 103 and the gravity of the valve core 102, the valve core 102 is pushed away from the base 108 to open the air inlet part 107, the air outlet channel 106 between the air inlet part 107 and the air outlet part is opened, and the gas in the battery can be discharged from the air outlet hole. It can be understood that when the pressure relief is satisfied that the internal pressure of the battery case is less than the sum of the elastic force of the elastic expansion member 103 and the gravity of the valve core 102, the valve core 102 will return to the state of blocking the air inlet 107 under the elastic force of the elastic expansion member 103. As can be seen, the battery explosion-proof valve 100 in the embodiment of the present disclosure can be reused, and the service life is greatly extended; and the appearance of the battery and the atmosphere in the battery shell are not influenced, and the subsequent recovery and utilization are facilitated.
Moreover, the valve core 102 is driven by elastic force, and can be suitable for different pressure relief critical pressures by replacing springs with different elastic forces so as to be suitable for batteries with different models. In addition, because the gas inside the battery explosion-proof valve 100 flows in a single direction (is exhausted from the exhaust part upwards along the exhaust channel 106 from the air inlet), the internal atmosphere of the battery shell is not influenced in the battery production and formation process, a separate drying room is not required to be established for installing the explosion-proof valve for the battery, and the production cost is greatly reduced.
In fig. 2, the exhaust passage 106 is formed in a gap between the spool 102 and the valve body 101. In order to indicate the explosion risk of the battery in the battery explosion-proof valve 100, a sounding structure 104 may be further formed on the valve body 101 at a position where the exhaust passage 106 passes, for receiving the air flow and sounding.
Fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a sounding structure according to an embodiment of the disclosure.
The sound emitting structure 200 includes a horizontal airflow passage 201, and the horizontal airflow passage 201 may be formed in the valve housing and has an airflow inlet 202. The airflow inlet 202 is communicated with the horizontal airflow channel 201 and the exhaust channel 106. The horizontal air flow path 201 is provided with an air outlet 203 on one side thereof. A blocking wall 204 is arranged in the horizontal airflow channel 201, and an end part 241 is formed by protruding towards the air outlet 203. The front surface (i.e. the left surface in fig. 2) of the blocking wall 204 faces the horizontal airflow channel 201 to face the airflow from the exhaust channel 106, and a first gap 205 communicating with the air outlet 203 is formed between the end portion 241 of the blocking wall 204 and the side wall of the air outlet 203 on the side of the horizontal airflow channel 201. The rear surface (i.e. the right surface in fig. 2) of the blocking wall forms an air flow chamber 206, and a second gap 207 communicating with the air outlet 203 is formed between the end portion 241 of the blocking wall 204 and the side wall of the air outlet 203 on the side of the air flow chamber 206. Although the end 241 of the dam wall 204 is illustrated in FIG. 2 as being square, in other examples, to facilitate directing the flow of the airflow, the end 241 of the dam wall 204 is pointed, such as a conical head.
The sound generating structure 200 is similar to a single-tone whistle, and the airflow in the horizontal airflow channel 201 impacts the air outlet 203 from the first gap 205, and when another part of the airflow passes through the blocking wall 204 in the airflow cavity 206, the airflow direction changes to form a circular airflow, and the airflow passes through the narrow second gap 207 at a high speed to cause airflow turbulence, so that vibration is caused, and an alarm sound is given out. The frequency of the sounding is related to the used materials and the size of the cavity design, the sound level depends on the speed of the exhaust speed, the faster the exhaust speed is, the higher the air pressure is, the louder the sounding is, and the severity of the explosion risk of the battery can be accurately prompted.
In fig. 1 and 2, the dustproof water-discharging air-permeable membrane 105 is provided so as to cover the air discharge portion, thereby preventing dust and water droplets from entering the interior.
