在电池技术的发展中,如何提高电池单体的安全性,是电池技术中的一个研究方向。
发明内容
鉴于上述问题,本申请提供了一种电池单体、电池以及用电装置,其能提高电池单体的安全性。
第一方面,本申请提供一种电池单体,包括外壳、电极组件和密封件。外壳设有用于注入电解液的注液孔。电极组件容纳于外壳。密封件包括主体部、环绕在主体部外侧的过渡部和环绕在过渡部外侧的连接部,连接部位于外壳的背离电极组件的一侧,主体部的至少部分凸出于连接部的面向外壳的第一表面并容纳于注液孔,连接部连接于外壳,以密封注液 孔。过渡部的面向外壳的一侧设有避让槽,避让槽相对于第一表面凹陷并环绕主体部设置,且避让槽的槽壁面连接第一表面和主体部的表面;主体部的背离注液孔的一侧设有凹部。
在上述技术方案中,避让槽可以将过渡部与外壳隔开,以降低过渡部与外壳接触的风险,使连接部能够与外壳紧密贴合,提高连接部与外壳之间的连接强度,改善密封性。避让槽可以降低过渡部的强度,而凹部可以降低主体部的强度,这样可以使过渡部和主体部更容易变形。在连接外壳和连接部的过程中,产生的应力传递到过渡部和主体部,过渡部和主体部能够通过变形来释放应力,从而减小连接部与外壳的连接处的应力集中,降低外壳与连接部的连接处产生裂纹的风险,改善密封性,提高安全性。
在一些实施方式中,过渡部的背离外壳的表面与连接部的背离外壳的表面齐平,以避免过渡部增大密封件在厚度方向上的最大尺寸,降低密封件与电池中的其它构件干涉的风险。
在一些实施方式中,过渡部的背离外壳的表面凸出于连接部的背离外壳的表面。
在上述技术方案中,在开设避让槽的情况下,可保证过渡部的厚度和强度,以降低过渡部开裂的风险。过渡部形成外凸内凹的拱形结构,而拱形机构具有较好的弹性,其能够在电池单体受到外部冲击时通过变形来释放应力,以降低外壳与连接部之间的连接失效的风险,提高安全性。
在一些实施方式中,连接部焊接于外壳并形成第一焊接部,第一焊接部环绕在注液孔的外侧。
在上述技术方案中,第一焊接部可以将注液孔与密封件外侧的空间隔开,以实现注液孔的密封。焊接工艺简单,其既可以实现密封,还能够保证连接部与外壳之间的连接强度。
在一些实施方式中,连接部设有减薄区,减薄区环绕第一焊接部的外侧设置。减薄区用于焊接于外壳并形成多个第二焊接部,多个第二焊接部沿主体部的周向间隔设置。
在上述技术方案中,在装配密封件和外壳时,可以预先在减薄区 上进行点焊,以形成多个第二焊接部。多个第二焊接部可以将密封件与外壳进行预固定,以在形成第一焊接部的过程中降低密封件晃动的风险,保证第一焊接部的强度。本技术方案通过在连接部上设置减薄区,以减小点焊所需的功率。
在一些实施方式中,外壳包括与第一表面相抵的第二表面。注液孔包括导向段,导向段的侧壁连接于第二表面;导向段的孔径沿远离第二表面的方向逐渐减小。
在上述技术方案中,注液孔的导向段具有外大内小的锥形结构,其可以在装配过程中引导密封件的主体部伸入注液孔,以简化装配工艺。
在一些实施方式中,主体部设有面向导向段的侧壁的第三表面,第三表面连接于避让槽的槽壁面,且第三表面平行于注液孔的轴线。
在上述技术方案中,导向段的侧壁为锥形面,第三表面为柱形面,在主体部***导向段的过程中,第三表面端部的棱边用于与导向段的侧壁进行配合,以实现密封件的定位。相对于通过面面配合实现定位的方式,本实施例通过棱边与面的配合实现定位,可以降低因面的精度而引发定位失效的风险。
在一些实施方式中,主体部包括凸部和板体部,凸部环绕在板体部的外侧并连接于板体部和过渡部之间。凸部凸出于第一表面和板体部,凸部的至少部分容纳于注液孔。凹部设于主体部的与凸部相对应的位置。
在上述技术方案中,在装配外壳和密封件的过程中,凸部能够伸入注液孔并与注液孔的孔壁配合,以实现密封件的定位,从而简化装配工艺。凸部凸出于板体部,且凸部在厚度方向上的背离注液孔的一侧形成凹部,以使凸部形成向内拱起的拱形结构。具有拱形结构的凸部能够在电池单体受到外部冲击时通过变形来释放应力,以降低外壳与连接部之间的连接失效的风险,提高安全性。
在一些实施方式中,板体部的背离外壳的表面的中心处设有定位凹部。
在上述技术方案中,定位凹部可以在装配密封件和外壳的过程中作为定位基准,以提高连接精度。
在一些实施方式中,板体部的背离外壳的表面与连接部的背离外壳的表面齐平,以改善密封件外侧的平整性。
在一些实施方式中,在连接部的厚度方向上,避让槽的尺寸与过渡部的尺寸之比α为0.01-0.5。
在上述技术方案中,α的值越小,避让槽的深度越小,过渡部与外壳接触的风险越高。α的值越大,过渡部的尺寸受到的限制越大;如果α的值过大,将造成过渡部的厚度偏小,在电池单体受到外部冲击时容易开裂。本申请实施例将α的值限定在0.01-0.5,以在保证过渡部的强度的前提下,使避让槽能够将过渡部和外壳间隔开。
第二方面,本申请实施例提供了一种电池,包括多个第一方面任一实施方式的电池单体。
第三方面,本申请实施例提供了一种用电装置,其包括第一方面任一实施方式的电池单体,电池单体用于提供电能。

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包括电池模块或电池包等。电池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。以锂离子电池单体为例,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。
电池单体还包括外壳,外壳内部形成用于容纳电极组件的容纳腔。外壳可以从外侧保护电极组件,以避免外部的异物影响电极组件的充电或放电。
外壳上通常开设有注液孔,注液孔将外壳的内部空间和外部空间连通。在电池单体的生产过程中,注液设备通过注液孔向外壳的内部注入电解液。当与注液孔相关的工序完成后,需要对注液孔进行密封,以保证外壳内部的负压环境,并降低外界气体和水分进入外壳内部的风险。
在相关技术中,外壳上安装有密封件,密封件连接于外壳并覆盖注液孔,以将注液孔密封。为了便于对密封件进行定位,发明人对密封件的结构作出改进。具体地,密封件包括主体部和环绕在主体部外侧的连接部,主体部的至少部分凸出于连接部的面向外壳的表面并***到注液孔内。连接部可用于与外壳连接,以密封注液孔。主体部可以***到注液孔内,以在装配密封件的过程中对密封件进行定位,以简化密封件的安装工艺。
然而,发明人发现,由于工艺原因,主体部和连接部的连接处会形成类似圆角的结构,而圆角的表面相对于连接部的面向外壳的表面倾斜。 在装配密封件的过程中,圆角的表面可能会抵压在外壳上,造成连接部与外壳之间形成间隙,影响连接部与外壳之间的连接强度,引发密封失效的风险。在连接外壳和连接部时会产生应力,应力集中在外壳与连接部之间的连接处,会引发外壳与连接部之间的连接处产生裂纹的风险,从而造成密封失效、电解液泄露等安全隐患。
鉴于此,本申请实施例提供了一种电池单体,其包括外壳、电极组件以及密封件。外壳设有用于注入电解液的注液孔。电极组件容纳于外壳。密封件包括主体部、环绕在主体部外侧的过渡部和环绕在过渡部外侧的连接部,连接部位于外壳的背离电极组件的一侧,主体部的至少部分凸出于连接部的面向外壳的第一表面并容纳于注液孔,连接部连接于外壳,以密封注液孔。过渡部的面向外壳的一侧设有避让槽,避让槽相对于第一表面凹陷并环绕主体部设置,且避让槽的槽壁面连接第一表面和主体部的表面;主体部的背离注液孔的一侧设有凹部。
在本实施例的电池单体中,避让槽可以将过渡部与外壳隔开,以降低过渡部与外壳接触的风险,使连接部能够与外壳紧密贴合,提高连接部与外壳之间的连接强度,改善密封性。避让槽可以降低过渡部的强度,而凹部可以降低主体部的强度,这样可以使过渡部和主体部更容易变形。在连接外壳和连接部的过程中,产生的应力传递到过渡部和主体部,过渡部和主体部能够通过变形来释放应力,从而减小连接部与外壳的连接处的应力集中,降低外壳与连接部的连接处产生裂纹的风险,改善密封性,提高安全性。

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。

图4为本申请一些实施例提供的电池单体的剖视示意图;图5为图4所示的电池单体在圆框A处的放大示意图;图6为本申请一些实施例提供的电池单体的密封件的剖视示意图。
如图4至图6所示,本申请实施例的电池单体7包括电极组件10、外壳20以及密封件30。外壳20设有用于注入电解液的注液孔21。电极组件10容纳于外壳20内。密封件30包括主体部31、环绕在主体部31外侧的过渡部32和环绕在过渡部32外侧的连接部33。连接部33位于外壳20的背离电极组件10的一侧。主体部31的至少部分凸出于连接部33的面向外壳20的第一表面33a并容纳于注液孔21,连接部33连接于外壳20,以密封注液孔21。过渡部32的面向外壳20的一侧设有避让槽34,避让槽34相对于第一表面33a凹陷并环绕主体部31设置,且避让槽34的槽壁面34a连接第一表面33a和主体部31的表面。主体部31的背离注液孔21的一侧设有凹部35。
电极组件10为电池单体7实现充放电功能的核心部件,其包括正极极片、负极极片和隔离件,正极极片和负极极片的极性相反,隔离件用于将正极极片和负极极片绝缘隔离。电极组件10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。
电极组件10可以为一个,也可以为多个。当电极组件10为多个时,多个电极组件10可以层叠布置。
外壳20为空心结构,其内部形成用于容纳电极组件10和电解液的容纳腔。外壳20可以是多种形状,比如,圆柱体、长方体等。外壳20的形状可根据电极组件10的具体形状来确定。比如,若电极组件10为圆柱体结构,则可选用为圆柱体外壳;若电极组件10为长方体结构,则可选用长方体外壳。
注液孔21将外壳20的内部空间和外部空间连通。在电池单体7的生产过程中,注液设备可通过注液孔21向外壳20的内部注入电解液。
密封件30用于从外侧覆盖注液孔21,以密封注液孔21,保证外壳20内部的负压环境,并降低外界气体和水分进入外壳20内部的风险。
连接部33具有面向外壳20的第一表面33a,第一表面33a用于与外壳20相抵。连接部33与外壳20之间的连接处将注液孔21与密封件30外侧的空间隔开,以实现注液孔21的密封。连接部33可以通过焊接或其它方式连接于外壳20。
过渡部32连接于主体部31和连接部33之间。过渡部32的厚度可以大于、小于或等于连接部33的厚度。
主体部31可以整体凸出于第一表面33a,也可以仅部分凸出于第一表面33a,本实施例对此不作限制。
密封件30在与过渡部32相对应的位置设有相对于第一表面33a凹陷的避让槽34。避让槽34为环绕主体部31并与主体部31相邻设置的环形凹槽。避让槽34的槽壁面34a可以直接连接于第一表面33a,也可以通过其它表面间接地连接于第一表面33a。避让槽34的槽壁面34a连接于主体部31内侧的表面。凹部35相对于主体部31的背离注液孔34的表面朝靠近注液孔21的方向凹陷。
在本实施例中,避让槽34可以将过渡部32与外壳20隔开,以降低过渡部32与外壳20接触的风险,使连接部33能够与外壳20紧密贴合,提高连接部33与外壳20之间的连接强度,改善密封性。避让槽34可 以降低过渡部32的强度,而凹部35可以降低主体部31的强度,这样可以使过渡部32和主体部31更容易变形。在连接外壳20和连接部33的过程中,产生的应力传递到过渡部32和主体部31,过渡部32和主体部31能够通过变形来释放应力,从而减小连接部33与外壳20的连接处的应力集中,降低外壳20与连接部33的连接处产生裂纹的风险,改善密封性,提高安全性。
在一些实施例中,外壳20包括壳体22和端盖23,壳体22具有开口,端盖23盖合于开口。
壳体22可为一侧开口的结构,端盖23设置为一个并盖合于壳体22的开口。可替代地,壳体22也可为两侧开口的结构,端盖23设置为两个,两个端盖23分别盖合于壳体22的两个开口。
示例性地,端盖23通过焊接、粘接、卡接或其它方式连接于壳体22。
注液孔21可以开设在端盖23上,也可以开设在壳体22上。示例性地,注液孔21开设在端盖23上。
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23上。两个电极端子40分别为正电极端子和负电极端子。正电极端子用于与电极组件10的正极极片电连接,负电极端子用于与负极极片电连接,以将电极组件10产生的电能引出到外壳20外。
在一些实施例中,在连接部33的厚度方向Z上,避让槽34的尺寸与过渡部32的尺寸之比α为0.01-0.5。
避让槽34沿厚度方向Z的尺寸为避让槽34的深度。
α的值越小,避让槽34的深度越小,过渡部32与外壳20接触的风险越高。α的值越大,过渡部32的尺寸受到的限制越大;如果α的值过大,将造成过渡部32的厚度偏小,在电池单体7受到外部冲击时容易开裂。本申请实施例将α的值限定在0.01-0.5,以在保证过渡部32的强度的前提下,使避让槽34能够将过渡部32和外壳20间隔开。
在一些实施例中,避让槽34沿厚度方向Z的深度为0.05mm-0.5mm。连接部33沿厚度方向Z的尺寸为0.1mm-5mm。过渡部32沿厚度方向Z的 尺寸小于或等于连接部33沿厚度方向Z的尺寸。
在一些实施例中,连接部33焊接于外壳20并形成第一焊接部W1,第一焊接部W1环绕在注液孔21的外侧。
在本实施例中,第一焊接部W1可以将注液孔21与密封件30外侧的空间隔开,以实现注液孔21的密封。焊接工艺简单,其既可以实现密封,还能够保证连接部33与外壳20之间的连接强度。
在一些实施例中,过渡部32的背离外壳20的表面凸出于连接部33的背离外壳20的表面。
本实施例能够在开设避让槽34的情况下,保证过渡部32的厚度和强度,以降低过渡部32开裂的风险。过渡部32形成外凸内凹的拱形结构,而拱形机构具有较好的弹性,其能够在电池单体7受到外部冲击时通过变形来释放应力,以降低外壳20与连接部33之间的连接失效的风险,提高安全性。
在焊接连接部33和外壳20的过程中,产生的热量和焊接应力会传导至密封件30上,密封件30受热产生一定程度的膨胀变形;焊接完成后,密封件30逐渐冷却并开始回缩,从而造成第一焊接部W1上产生应力集中,引发第一焊接部W1撕裂的风险。本实施例的具有拱形结构的过渡部32能够通过变形有效地释放焊接应力,以减小第一焊接部W1上受到的应力,降低第一焊接部W1撕裂的风险,提高密封性和安全性。
在一些实施例中,主体部31包括凸部311和板体部312,凸部311环绕在板体部312的外侧并连接于板体部312和过渡部32之间。凸部311凸出于第一表面33a和板体部312,凸部311的至少部分容纳于注液孔21。凹部35设于主体部31的与凸部311相对应的位置。
在本实施例中,在装配外壳20和密封件30的过程中,凸部311能够伸入注液孔21并与注液孔21的孔壁配合,以实现密封件30的定位,从而简化装配工艺。凸部311凸出于板体部312,且凸部311在厚度方向Z上的背离注液孔21的一侧形成凹部35,以使凸部311形成向内拱起的拱形结构。具有拱形结构的凸部311能够在电池单体7受到外部冲击时通过变形来释放应力,以降低外壳20与连接部33之间的连接失效的风险,提 高安全性。
具有拱形结构的凸部311能够通过变形有效地释放焊接应力,以减小第一焊接部W1上受到的应力,降低第一焊接部W1撕裂的风险,提高密封性和安全性。
在一些实施例中,板体部312的背离外壳20的表面的中心处设有定位凹部312a。
在本实施例中,定位凹部312a可以在装配密封件30和外壳20的过程中作为定位基准,以提高连接精度。
示例性的,焊接设备检测到定位凹部312a后以定位凹部312a为基准,绕定位凹部312a环绕一周,以将连接部33焊接于壳体22并形成环状的第一焊接部W1。
在一些实施例中,板体部312的背离外壳20的表面与连接部33的背离外壳20的表面齐平。本实施例可以改善密封件30外侧的平整性。
在一些实施例中,密封件30通过挤压平板制成。密封件30在被挤压的位置形成避让槽34和凹部35。
在一些实施例中,电池单体7还包括密封钉50,密封钉50***到注液孔21内以密封注液孔21。在厚度方向Z上,密封钉50与密封件30间隔设置,以降低密封钉50干涉密封件30的风险。
密封钉50以可插拔的方式连接于外壳20。在电池单体7完成一次注液后,利用密封钉50将注液孔21初步密封。当电池单体7完成化成工序后,需要对电池单体7进行二次注液,此时,可以拔出密封钉50并再次进行注液。
密封钉50可以在电池单体7的生产过程中起到暂时密封的作用。当与注液孔21相关的工序完成后,再焊接密封件30,以实现注液孔21的最终密封。
在一些实施例中,密封钉50的材质为塑胶。
图7为本申请一些实施例提供的电池单体的局部俯视示意图。
请一并参照图5至图7,在一些实施例中,第一焊接部W1为环绕在注液孔21的外侧的环形结构。
在一些实施例中,连接部33设有减薄区331,减薄区331环绕第一焊接部W1的外侧设置。减薄区331用于焊接于外壳20并形成多个第二焊接部W2,多个第二焊接部W2沿主体部31的周向间隔设置。
减薄区331的厚度小于连接部33的其它区域的厚度。减薄区331可以位于连接部33的端部,也可以位于连接部33的中部,本实施例对此不作限制。
在装配密封件30和外壳20时,可以预先在减薄区331上进行点焊,以形成多个第二焊接部W2。多个第二焊接部W2可以将密封件30与外壳20进行预固定,以在形成第一焊接部W1的过程中降低密封件30晃动的风险,保证第一焊接部W1的强度。本实施例通过在连接部33上设置减薄区331,以减小点焊所需的功率。
在一些实施例中,减薄区331位于连接部33的远离主体部31的端部。可选地,本实施例通过在连接部33的端部开设倒角来形成减薄区331。
图8为本申请一些实施例提供的电池单体的端盖的局部剖视示意图;图9为图5在圆框B处的放大示意图。
如图8和图9所示,在一些实施例中,外壳20包括与第一表面33a相抵的第二表面24。注液孔21包括导向段211,导向段211的侧壁211a连接于第二表面24。导向段211的孔径沿远离第二表面24的方向逐渐减小。
主体部31的至少部分容纳于导向段211内。示例性地,凸部311的至少部分容纳于导向段211内。
在本实施例中,注液孔21的导向段211具有外大内小的锥形结构,其可以在装配过程中引导密封件30的主体部31伸入注液孔21,以简化装配工艺。
在一些实施例中,主体部31设有面向导向段211的侧壁211a的第三表面31a,第三表面31a连接于避让槽34的槽壁面34a,且第三表面31a平行于注液孔21的轴线。
示例性地,轴线平行于连接部33的厚度方向Z。
在本实施例中,导向段211的侧壁211a为锥形面,第三表面31a为柱形面,在主体部31***导向段211的过程中,第三表面31a端部的棱边用于与导向段211的侧壁211a进行配合,以实现密封件30的定位。相对于通过面面配合实现定位的方式,本实施例通过棱边与面的配合实现定位,可以降低因面的精度而引发定位失效的风险。
在一些实施例中,第三表面31a为圆柱面,导向段211的侧壁211a为圆锥面。
在一些实施例中,注液孔21还包括安装段212,安装段212设于导向段211的内侧。示例性地,密封钉***安装段212。
