发明内容
本申请实施例旨在至少解决现有技术中存在的技术问题之一。为此,本申请的一个目的在于提出一种端盖组件、电池单体、电池及用电装置,以提升电池能量密度。

本申请实施例的技术方案中,泄压件不凸出于端盖的顶面,泄压件则不会额外占用电池单体在高度方向上的空间,在不改变电池单体的总高度的前提下,采用该端盖组件的电池单体的内部空间更大,则该电池单体内部可容纳的极片的数量增加,进而提升了电池单体的活性物质容量,从而可以提升电池单体的能量密度。
而且,第一凸起部与第二凸起部的配合关系可以起到定位作用,以便于装配过程中能够找准泄压件的安装位置。
在一些实施例中,以第一凸起部凸出于槽底的尺寸为第一尺寸,第二凸起部与槽底之间的尺寸为第二尺寸,第一尺寸大于第二尺寸。这样,使得第二凸起部可以被限制在第一凸起部与凹槽部的内周侧面之间,以利于降低泄压件沿第一通孔的径向方向窜动的可能性。
在一些实施例中,第一尺寸与第二尺寸的差值大于0毫米(mm)且小于等于0.8倍的第二尺寸,或者,第一尺寸与第二尺寸的差值大于0mm且小于等于2mm。这样,第一凸起部的顶面较第二凸起部朝向凹槽部的槽底的一面超出的高度适中,则第二凸起部伸入至第一凸起部和凹槽部的内周侧面之间的尺寸适中。

在一些实施例中,压紧件背离泄压件的顶面与槽底之间的距离小于或者等于凹槽部的深度。在设置压紧件压紧泄压件的基础上,电池单体的压紧件不凸出于端盖的顶面,则压紧件不会额外占用电池单体在高度方向上的空间,以利于提升电池单体的能量密度。
在一些实施例中,压紧件与端盖由同种材质构成。由同种金属制成的压紧件与端盖可以焊接相连,进而能够有效提高压紧件与端盖之间的连接强度,以利于提高端盖组件的整体结构强度。
在一些实施例中,端盖组件还包括绝缘件,至少部分绝缘件设置于压紧件与泄压件之间,以绝缘隔离压紧件与泄压件,减少泄压件与压紧件之间出现电流导通的现象,以免电池单体出现短路现象。

在一些实施例中,构成泄压件的材质包括铝,构成端盖的材质包括钢。钢制端盖具有耐高温的特性,以利于降低电池单体因短路或过充电现象出现***而导致高温熔化的风险,缓解了电池单体高温熔化的问题。与此同时,铝制泄压件具有较低的硬度,便于加工形成刻痕槽,且由于端盖的硬度大于泄压件的硬度,使得在电池单体的内部压力增大时电池单体的内部气体会优先冲击硬度较小的泄压件,以使泄压件起到泄压的功能,从而有利于实现电池单体的排气方向可控。

目前,锂离子电池因具有能量密度高、功率密度大、自放电系数小等优点而受到广泛的应用。当锂离子电池发生短路或过充等现象时,锂离子电池内部产生大量气体,使得电池单体的内部压力急剧升高。
研究人员发现,相关技术中存在一些电池单体的端盖上设有泄压件,在电池内部的气压达到预设阈值时,泄压件能够释放气体,以使内部气压得到释放,降低电池单体发生起火***的风险。并且,研究人员还注意到,在相关技术的电池单体中,泄压件背离电池单体内部的顶面凸出于端盖的顶面。由于泄压件凸出于端盖,因此,泄压件会占用电池***总成的高度空间,进而降低了电芯可利用的容量空间,导致电池 内部可储存的极片的数量减少,活性物质的容量减少,从而不利于提升电池的能量密度。
为了解决上述问题中的至少一个,本申请实施例提供一种端盖组件、电池单体、电池及用电装置,该端盖组件具有端盖和泄压件,端盖上设置有朝向电池单体的内部凹陷的凹槽部,泄压件设置在凹槽部内,且泄压件背离电池单体内部的顶面与凹槽部的槽底之间的距离小于或等于凹槽部的深度,使得泄压件背离电池单体内部的顶面不凸出于端盖的顶面,这样,泄压件不会额外占用电池***总成的高度空间,进而电池内部可供极片储存的空间增加,极片数量增加,电池的活性物质容量随之提升,从而有利于提高电池的空间能量密度。
本申请实施例公开的端盖组件可以但不限用于车辆、船舶或飞行器等用电装置中。可以使用具备本申请公开的端盖组件、电池等组成该用电装置的电源***,这样,有利于提升电池的能量密度。
本申请实施例提供一种使用电池作为电源的用电装置,用电装置可以为但不限于手机、平板、笔记本电脑、电动玩具、电动工具、电瓶车、电动汽车、轮船、航天器等等。其中,电动玩具可以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,航天器可以包括飞机、火箭、航天飞机和宇宙飞船等等。
以下实施例为了方便说明,以本申请一实施例的一种用电装置为车辆1000为例进行说明。
请参照图1,图1为本申请一些实施例提供的车辆1000的结构示意图。车辆1000可以为燃油汽车、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。车辆1000的内部设置有电池100,电池100可以设置在车辆1000的底部或头部或尾部。电池100可以用于车辆1000的供电,例如,电池100可以作为车辆1000的操作电源。车辆1000还可以包括控制器200和马达300,控制器200用来控制电池100为马达300供电,例如,用于车辆1000的启动、导航和行驶时的工作用电需求。
在本申请一些实施例中,电池100不仅可以作为车辆1000的操作电源,还可以作为车辆1000的驱动电源,代替或部分地代替燃油或天然气为车辆1000提供驱动动力。
请参照图2,图2为本申请一些实施例提供的电池100的***图。电池100包括箱体10和电池单体20,电池单体20容纳于箱体10内。其中,箱体10用于为电池单体20提供容纳空间,箱体10可以采用多种结构。在一些实施例中,箱体10可以包括第一部 分11和第二部分12,第一部分11与第二部分12相互盖合,第一部分11和第二部分12共同限定出用于容纳电池单体20的容纳空间。第二部分12可以为一端开口的空心结构,第一部分11可以为板状结构,第一部分11盖合于第二部分12的开口侧,以使第一部分11与第二部分12共同限定出容纳空间;第一部分11和第二部分12也可以是均为一侧开口的空心结构,第一部分11的开口侧盖合于第二部分12的开口侧。当然,第一部分11和第二部分12形成的箱体10可以是多种形状,比如,圆柱体、长方体等。
在电池100中,电池单体20可以是多个,多个电池单体20之间可串联或并联或混联,混联是指多个电池单体20中既有串联又有并联。多个电池单体20之间可直接串联或并联或混联在一起,再将多个电池单体20构成的整体容纳于箱体10内;当然,电池100也可以是多个电池单体20先串联或并联或混联组成电池模块形式,多个电池模块再串联或并联或混联形成一个整体,并容纳于箱体10内。电池100还可以包括其他结构,例如,该电池100还可以包括汇流部件,用于实现多个电池单体20之间的电连接。
其中,每个电池单体20可以为二次电池或一次电池;还可以是锂硫电池、钠离子电池或镁离子电池,但不局限于此。电池单体20可呈圆柱体、扁平体、长方体或其它形状等。按封装的方式,电池单体20可以为柱形电池单体、方形电池单体或者软包形电池单体。
请参照图3,图3为本申请一些实施例提供的电池单体20的分解结构示意图。电池单体20是指组成电池100的最小单元。如图3,电池单体20包括有端盖组件21、壳体22、电芯组件23以及其他的功能性部件。
壳体22是用于配合端盖组件21以形成电池单体20的内部环境的组件,其中,形成的内部环境可以用于容纳电芯组件23、电解液以及其他部件。壳体22和端盖组件21可以是独立的部件,可以于壳体22上设置开口,通过在开口处使端盖组件21盖合开口以形成电池单体20的内部环境。不限地,也可以使端盖组件21和壳体22一体化,具体地,端盖组件21和壳体22可以在其他部件入壳前先形成一个共同的连接面,当需要封装壳体22的内部时,再使端盖组件21盖合壳体22。壳体22可以是多种形状和多种尺寸的,例如长方体形、圆柱体形、六棱柱形等。具体地,壳体22的形状可以根据电芯组件23的具体形状和尺寸大小来确定。壳体22的材质可以是多种,比如,铜、铁、铝、不锈钢、铝合金、塑胶等,本申请实施例对此不作特殊限制。
电芯组件23是电池单体20中发生电化学反应的部件。壳体22内可以包含一个或更多个电芯组件23。电芯组件23主要由正极片和负极片卷绕或层叠放置形成,并且通常 在正极片与负极片之间设有隔膜。正极片和负极片具有活性物质的部分构成电芯组件23的主体部,正极片和负极片不具有活性物质的部分各自构成极耳23a。正极极耳和负极极耳可以共同位于主体部的一端或是分别位于主体部的两端。在电池的充放电过程中,正极活性物质和负极活性物质与电解液发生反应,极耳23a连接电极端子以形成电流回路。
端盖组件21是指盖合于壳体22的开口处以将电池单体20的内部环境隔绝于外部环境的部件。不限地,端盖组件21的形状可以与壳体22的形状相适应以配合壳体22。
图4为本申请实施例提供的一种端盖组件21的俯视图,图5为图4所示的端盖组件21沿B-B向的截面图,图6为图5中C处的局部放大图。参考图3至图6所示,本实施例提供的端盖组件21具体可以包括端盖210和泄压件211,其中,端盖210上设置有朝向电池单体20的内部凹陷的凹槽部2102,泄压件211设置在凹槽部2102内,且泄压件211背离电池单体20内部的顶面与凹槽部2102的槽底之间的距离h1小于或等于凹槽部2102的深度H。
端盖210盖合在壳体22的开口处,端盖210与壳体22配合。其中,端盖210可以由具有一定硬度和强度的材质制成,这样,端盖组件21具有较高的结构强度,使得端盖组件21在受挤压碰撞时不易发生形变,则电池单体20安全性能也可以有所提高。继续参考图3,端盖210上还可以设置有电极端子21a等的功能性部件,电极端子21a可以用于与电芯组件23电连接,以用于输出或输入电池单体20的电能。
泄压件211安装在端盖210的凹槽部2102内,泄压件211能够起到密封作用,壳体22、端盖210以及泄压件211共同使电池单体20的内部环境隔绝于外部环境,即电池单体20的内部空间形成为密闭空间。电池100过充电时,引起正极活性物质发生不可逆变化以及电解液的分解,则电池100会产生大量气体。这样会使得电池单体20内部的气压不断上升,泄压件211能够用于将电池100内部的气体导出至电池单体20的外部,以释放电池单体20内部的气体,进而有利于避免电池单体20内部的气体过高而引起电池100***。例如,在一些可行的实施例中,泄压件211可以为单向阀,单向阀只能允许电池单体20内部的气体流出至电池单体20外。
可以理解的是,凹槽部2102的形状、尺寸与泄压件211的形状、尺寸相适应,使得泄压件211能够安放在凹槽部2102内的同时,泄压件211与凹槽部2102的槽壁之间的缝隙较小。其中,沿端盖210的厚度方向(图中以Z方向示出),泄压件211的顶面与凹槽部2102的槽底之间的距离为h1,凹槽部2102的深度为H,这里,凹槽部2102的深度H可以是理解为端盖210的顶面与凹槽部2102的槽底在Z方向的距离。
在一种情形中,如图5和图6所示,h1可以小于H。本示例中,相较于端盖210的顶面,泄压件211的顶面更靠近凹槽部2102的槽底,换句话说,沿Z方向,泄压件211的顶面低于端盖210的顶面。
在另一种情形中,h1可以等于H。本示例中,泄压件211的顶面则能够与端盖210的顶面平齐,也即泄压件211的顶面与端盖210的顶面共面。
总而言之,通过设计泄压件211的顶面与凹槽部2102的槽底之间的距离小于或等于凹槽的深度,泄压件211的顶面不凸出于端盖210的顶面。
综上,电池单体20采用本实施例的端盖组件21时,电池单体20的泄压件211不凸出于端盖210的顶面,则泄压件211不会额外占用电池单体20在高度方向上的空间。这样,与相关技术中泄压件211凸出于端盖210顶面进行比较,在不改变电池单体20的总高度的前提下,采用本实施例的端盖组件21的电池单体20的内部空间更大,则该电池单体20内部可容纳的极片的数量增加,电池单体20的活性物质容量随之提升,进而可以提升电池单体20的能量密度。
值得说明的是,本领域的技术人员往往容易想到减小泄压件211的高度,这样,虽然在不改变电池单体20的总高度的前提下,也能够提高电池单体20的内部空间,但是,泄压件211凸出于端盖210,泄压件211容易遭受到冲击而损坏。而本实施例通过将泄压件211设置在凹槽部2102内,使得泄压件211可以隐蔽在凹槽部2102内,凹槽部2102在一定程度上对泄压件211可以起到防护作用,以降低泄压件211被冲撞而损坏的风险。
图7为图3中A处的局部放大图。参考图5、图6和图7所示,凹槽部2102的槽底还设置有第一通孔2104,第一通孔2104的边缘设置有第一凸起部2103,第一凸起部2103沿背离电池单体20内部的方向凸出于凹槽部2102的槽底;泄压件211包括覆盖第一通孔2104的泄压件本体211a以及连接于泄压件本体211a边缘的第二凸起部211b,第二凸起部211b沿朝向凹槽部2102的槽底的方向凸出于泄压件本体211a,且第二凸起部211b位于第一凸起部2103与凹槽部2102的内周侧面之间。
凹槽部2102的槽底通过设置第一通孔2104,第一通孔2104用于与电池单体20的内部连通。泄压件211的泄压件本体211a呈板状,泄压件本体211a覆盖在第一通孔2104上,泄压件211能够满足电池单体20的泄压需求,以在电池单体20内部的气压达到预设阈值时,打开第一通孔2104,第一通孔2104通过凹槽部2102与电池单体20外部连通,以释放气压。
其中,第一通孔2104的形状不限于图3所示的跑道形,也可以呈圆形、方形、椭圆形等气体形状。第一通孔2104的尺寸可以根据电池单体20的型号尺寸合理的设计。
凹槽部2102的槽底凸出设置有第一凸起部2103,第一凸起部2103呈环形,环形第一凸起部2103位于第一通孔2104的边缘并环绕第一通孔2104设置,环形的第一凸起部2103的外周侧面与凹槽部2102的内周侧面之间形成有安装间隙。
电池单体20处于正常使用状态时,泄压件本体211a封堵第一通孔2104,使得电池单体20内部被密闭。且泄压件本体211a上设置有刻痕槽2111,泄压件211被配置为在电池单体20的内部压力达到预设阈值时沿着刻痕槽2111裂开,泄压件本体211a不再封堵第一通孔2104,第一通孔2104打开,电池100内部的气体能够经第一通孔2104及凹槽部2102排出至电池100外部。并且,泄压件本体211a的边缘设有第二凸起部211b,第二凸起部211b往凹槽部2102的槽底凸出延伸,可见,第二凸起部211b也呈环形,且环形的第二凸起部211b伸入至安装间隙内。这样,泄压件211安装在凹槽部2102内时,泄压件本体211a与第一凸起部2103相抵接,第二凸起部211b环绕在第一凸起部2103的外侧,且第二凸起部211b位于第一凸起部2103与凹槽部2102的槽侧壁之间。
在本实施例中,第二凸起部211b与安装间隙可以间隙配合。或者,第二凸起部211b与安装间隙也可以过盈配合,此时,第二凸起部211b与第一凸起部2103的外周侧面以及凹槽部2102的内周侧面均紧密贴合。通过设计第二凸起部211b与安装间隙过盈配合,可以增强泄压件211与端盖210的连接可靠性。
其中,第一凸起部2103与凹槽部2102可以通过一体成型工艺形成为一体件,由此,可以省去第一凸起部2103与凹槽部2102的装配工序,且在不增加成本的前提下,可以有效提高凹槽部2102的强度。同理,第二凸起部211b与泄压件本体211a也可以通过一体成型工艺形成为一体件,由此,可以省去第二凸起部211b与泄压件本体211a的装配工序,在不增加成本的前提下,可以有效提高泄压件211的强度。
第一凸起部2103与第二凸起部211b的配合关系,一方面,可以起到定位作用,以便于装配过程中能够找准泄压件211的安装位置,另一方面,可以限制第二凸起部211b的位置,以利于降低泄压件211沿第一通孔2104的径向方向(图5和图6中以X方向示出)窜动的可能性。
以第一凸起部2103凸出于凹槽部2102的槽底的尺寸为第一尺寸h2,第二凸起部211b与凹槽部2102的槽底之间的尺寸为第二尺寸h3,第一尺寸h2大于第二尺寸h3。
具体地,第一凸起部2103凸出于槽底的尺寸h2即为第一凸起部2103背向电池单体20内部的一面与凹槽部2102的槽底沿Z方向的尺寸。通过设计h2大于h3,则第一凸起部2103背向电池单体20内部的一面高于第二凸起部211b朝向凹槽部2102的槽底的一面。
这样,有利于确保第二凸起部211b能够伸入至安装间隙内,而不是高于第一凸起部2103,进而使得第二凸起部211b可以被限制在第一凸起部2103与凹槽部2102的内周侧面之间,以利于降低泄压件211沿第一通孔2104的径向方向(即X方向)窜动的可能性。而且,电池单体20内部的气体需绕过第一凸起部2103才可经第一凸起部2103与第二凸起部211b之间溢出,则气体溢出的路径较长,以利于降低气体从泄压件211与端盖210之间溢出的可能性。
第一尺寸h2与第二尺寸h3的差值大于0毫米(mm)且小于等于第一尺寸的0.8倍,或者,第一尺寸h2与第二尺寸h3的差值大于0mm且小于等于2mm。结合上文所描述的h2大于h3可知,以第一尺寸h2与第二尺寸h3的差值为Δh,Δh=h2-h3,且0mm<Δh≤0.8*h2,或者,0mm<Δh≤2mm。
值得说明的是,以第二凸起部211b凸出于泄压件本体211a的尺寸为h4,图6所示的示例中泄压件本体211a直接与第一凸起部2103相抵接,则第一尺寸h2与第二尺寸h3的差值Δh即为第二凸起部211b凸出于泄压件本体211a的尺寸h4,此时,第二凸起部211b的高度h4小于等于0.8h2或者2mm。
以0mm<Δh≤0.8*h2为例,本示例中,第一尺寸h2与第二尺寸h3的差值Δh最大可为0.8h2,即第二凸起部211b的高度h4最大可为0.8h2,此时,第一凸起部2103的顶面最多比第二凸起部211b朝向凹槽部2102的槽底的一面高出第一尺寸h2的0.8倍。比如,在第一凸起部2103凸出于凹槽部2102的槽底的尺寸为1mm时,第二凸起部211b的高度h4可以为0.2mm,第二尺寸h3相应地为0.8mm;或者,第二凸起部211b的高度h4可以为0.4mm,第二尺寸h3相应地为0.6mm;亦或,第二凸起部211b的高度h4可以为0.8mm,第二尺寸h3相应地为0.2mm。
还需指出,本实施例中,h3最小为0.2*h2。可见,此时的h3不为0mm,则第二凸起部211b与凹槽部2102的槽底不接触,且二者存在一定的距离。
以0mm<Δh≤2mm为例,本示例中,第一尺寸h2与第二尺寸h3的差值Δh最大可为2mm。因为本实施例中h4等于Δh,故h4最大可为2mm。例如,第二凸起部211b的高度h4可以为0.5mm、1mm、1.5mm或者2mm,本实施例对此不予限制。
还需指出,本实施例中,h3可以为0mm。此时,第二凸起部211b与凹槽部2102的槽底相接触,第一凸起部2103凸出于凹槽部2102的槽底之间的距离与第二凸起部211b的高度相同。本示例中,第一尺寸h2最大可以达到2mm。或者,在其他的实施例中,如图6所示,h3也可以大于0mm,此时,第二凸起部211b与凹槽部2102的槽底之间存在一定距离。
示例性地,在一种可能的实现方式中,第一尺寸h2与第二尺寸h3的差值Δh具体可以取值为0.05mm,也即第一凸起部2103的顶面比第二凸起部211b朝向凹槽部2102的槽底的一面高出0.05mm。
通过将第一尺寸h2与第二尺寸h3的差值Δh设计在0mm~0.8h2或者0mm~2mm之间,使得第一凸起部2103的顶面较第二凸起部211b朝向凹槽部2102的槽底的一面超出的高度适中,则第二凸起部211b伸入至安装间隙的尺寸适中,使得第二凸起部211b能够被限制在第一凸起部2103和凹槽部2102的内周侧面的同时,且泄压件211不会距凹槽部2102的槽底过远。
图8为本申请实施例提供的另一种端盖组件21的截面示意图,图9为图8中D处的局部放大图,图10为本申请实施例提供的泄压件211的分解示意图。参考图8至图10所示,端盖组件21还包括密封件212,至少部分密封件212抵接于凹槽部2102的槽底与泄压件本体211a之间,以密封泄压件本体211a与构成凹槽部2102的部分端盖210。
其中,至少部分密封件212抵接于凹槽部2102的槽底与泄压件本体211a之间应当作广义理解。这里,在一种实施方案中,可以理解为整个密封件212设置于凹槽部2102的槽底与泄压件本体211a之间,如图8和图9所示,此时的密封件212呈环形,例如密封圈,环形的密封件212环绕在第一凸起部2103的外侧、并不会阻挡第一通孔2104与电池单体20的外部的连通。当然,在其他实施方案中,也可以理解为密封件212仅有部分设于凹槽部2102的槽底与泄压件本体211a之间,具体可以参考下述图11、图12和图13所示。
示例性地,密封件212的材质可以为橡胶、硅胶或者塑胶等。通过设计至少部分密封件212抵接于凹槽部2102的槽底与泄压件本体211a之间,密封件212能够密封凹槽部2102的槽底与泄压件本体211a之间的间隙,从而能够减少电池单体20内部的气体从凹槽部2102的槽底与泄压件本体211a之间的间隙溢出,以降低泄压件211失效的可能性,以利于提高采用该端盖组件21的电池单体20的使用安全性。
继续参考图8和图9所示,第二凸起部211b抵接于密封件212的外周侧面。由前文描述的内容可知,密封件212的至少部分与凹槽部2102的槽底及泄压件本体211a相抵,而第二凸起部211b与泄压件本体211a的边缘连接,因此,密封件212的至少部分位于第一凸起部2103与第二凸起部211b之间。并且,本实施例中,第二凸起部211b还与密封件212的外周侧面相接触,也就是说,沿第一通孔2104的径向(即X方向),第二凸起部211b与密封件212的外周侧面之间无间隙。
如此设置,密封件212能够供第二凸起部211b抵靠,使得密封件212的至少部分位于第一凸起部2103与第二凸起部211b之间,第二凸起部211b能够对密封件212起到一定的限位作用,以确保密封件212能够在第一凸起部2103与第二凸起部211b之间。
至少部分密封件212位于第一凸起部2103与第二凸起部211b之间,且该至少部分密封件212与第一凸起部2103在平行于凹槽部2102的槽底的方向上具有第一间隙D1。
换句话说,密封件212与第一凸起部2103的外周侧面不相抵接。在第二凸起部211b抵接于密封件212的外周侧面的实施方案中,本实施例的密封件212即只与第二凸起部211b的内周侧面贴合、而不与第一凸起部2103的外周侧面贴合。
通过设计至少部分密封件212与第一凸起部2103在X方向上具有第一间隙D1,使得密封件212的至少部分与第一凸起部2103的外周侧面之间存在一定的距离。这样,一是无需借助安装工具便能够容易的将密封件212的部分安装到第一凸起部2103和第二凸起部211b之间,二是电池单体20充电时,正极活性物质结构变化,电解液分解,产生热量,密封件212的温度升高而膨胀,第一间隙D1能够为密封件212提供变形的空间,以免膨胀的密封件212抵顶第一凸起部2103和第二凸起部211b。
以密封件212沿凹槽部2102的深度方向上的最大尺寸为第三尺寸h5,第三尺寸h5大于第二凸起部211b凸出于泄压件本体211a的尺寸h4,且第三尺寸h5还大于第一凸起部2103凸出于槽底的尺寸h2。
通过设计h5大于h4,则第二凸起部211b与凹槽部2102的槽底之间存在距离,第二凸起部211b与凹槽部2102的槽底不接触,此时,第二尺寸h3大于0。而通过设计h5大于第一尺寸h2,使得泄压件本体211a位于第一凸起部2103的上方且与第一凸起部2103不直接接触,也即沿Z方向,泄压件本体211a与第一凸起部2103之间存在一定的空间。
在图8和图9中,整个密封件212抵接于凹槽部2102的槽底与泄压件本体211a之间时,密封件212的最大尺寸h5即为整个密封件212沿Z方向的尺寸,此时,泄压件 本体211a、密封件212与凹槽部2102的槽底共同围成密闭的空间,第一凸起部2103位于该密闭的空间内。
通过将密封件212沿凹槽部2102的深度方向上的最大尺寸h5设计为大于第一尺寸h2以及第二凸起部211b凸出于泄压件本体211a的尺寸h4,使得第一凸起部2103与泄压件本体211a在Z方向上存在一定的空间,以便于供下述的第二密封部212b安装,以及使得第二凸起部211b与凹槽部2102的槽底在Z方向上也存在一定的空间,以便于供下述的隔绝件215安装。
图11为本申请实施例提供的再一种端盖组件21的截面示意图,图12为图11中E处的局部放大图。参考图11和图12所示,密封件212具体可以包括第一密封部212a以及第二密封部212b,第一密封部212a抵接于凹槽部2102的槽底与泄压件本体211a之间,第二密封部212b连接于第一密封部212a,且第二密封部212b抵接于第一凸起部2103与泄压件本体211a之间。
在密封件212的部分抵接于凹槽部2102的槽底与泄压件本体211a之间的实施方案中,密封件212还可以存在部分抵接于泄压件本体211a与第一凸起部2103之间。具体地,如图11和图12所示,密封件212通过设计成包括第一密封部212a和第二密封部212b,其中,第一密封部212a用于与凹槽部2102的槽底以及泄压件本体211a密封,第二密封部212b用于与第一凸起部2103以及泄压件本体211a密封。
第一密封部212a位于第二密封部212b的边缘,且第一密封部212a相对于第二密封部212b朝向凹槽部2102的槽底凸出。本示例中,密封件212沿凹槽部2102的深度方向上的最大尺寸h5即为第一密封部212a沿Z方向的尺寸。可以理解,由于h5>h2,因此,第一凸起部2103与泄压件本体211a之间具有空间,该空间能够供第二密封部212b安装,h5与h2之间的差值与第二密封部212b沿Z方向的厚度相等,使得第二密封部212b能够与第一凸起部2103即泄压件本体211a相触。
这样设计,密封件212除了能够密封凹槽部2102的槽底与泄压件本体211a之间的间隙,还可以密封第一凸起部2103与泄压件本体211a之间的间隙,以减少电池单体20内部的气体从第一凸起部2103与泄压件本体211a之间的间隙溢出,进一步提高泄压件211与端盖210之间的密封性,以利于提高采用该端盖组件21的电池单体20的使用安全性。
第二密封部212b具有与第一通孔2104连通的第二通孔2121,第二通孔2121的孔壁围成第二密封部212b的内周侧面,第二密封部212b的内周侧面沿着朝向第二通孔2121中心线的方向凸出于第一凸起部2103。
第二密封部212b上通过设置第二通孔2121,且第二通孔2121与第一通孔2104相连通,这样,即使第二密封部212b位于第一凸起部2103与泄压件本体211a之间,第二密封部212b不会封堵第一通孔2104。在电池单体20内部的气压达到预设阈值,泄压件本体211a沿着刻痕槽2111裂开时,电池单体20内部、第一通孔2104、第二通孔2121与凹槽部2102的内部依次连通形成排气流道,使得电池单体20内部的气体能够从排气流道流出至电池单体20外部,以确保泄压件211能够起到泄压的作用。第二通孔2121的形状也不限于图10示出的跑道形,也可以呈圆形、方形、椭圆形等气体形状。
且第二通孔2121孔壁的内周侧面沿着朝向第二通孔2121中心线的方形凸出于第一凸起部2103,这样,第二通孔2121在凹槽部2102的槽底的正投影落入在第一通孔2104在凹槽部2102的槽底的正投影内,也就是说,第一通孔2104的开孔面积大于第二通孔2121的开孔面积。具体地,以第一通孔2104和第二通孔2121均为圆形孔为例进行说明,则第二通孔2121的孔径小于第一通孔2104的孔径。可见,第二密封部212b具有部分在凹槽部2102的槽底的正投影落入在第一通孔2104在凹槽部2102的槽底的正投影内。
通过将第二密封部212b设计成内周侧面凸出于第一凸起部2103,使得第二通孔2121的开孔面积小于第一通孔2104的开孔面积,也即排气流道的截面发生了变化。这样,电池单体20内部的气体从第一通孔2104流至第二通孔2121时,气压进一步升高,则气体流向泄压件本体211a的速度增大,进一步确保气体能够冲破泄压件本体211a,使得泄压件211能够发挥泄压作用。
继续参考图10、图11和图12,端盖组件21还可以包括压紧件213,压紧件213设置于泄压件211背离凹槽部2102的槽底的外侧,且压紧件213与端盖210连接,以将泄压件211压紧于压紧件213与凹槽部2102的槽底之间。
可见,压紧件213位于泄压件211的上方。并且,压紧件213具体可以配置成在泄压件本体211a裂开时使第一通孔2104能够与电池单体20的外部连通,以在电池单体20内部的气压达到预设阈值时,气体能够顺畅的经第一通孔2104泄放。
示例性地,如图10所示,压紧件213可以为环状的压环。在一些实施例中,压紧件213还可以为其他结构,例如,压紧件213可以包括多个压紧块,多个压紧块环绕第 一通孔2104的中心线间隔的设置,多个压紧块与端盖210紧固相连并压盖在泄压件本体211a上。其中,压紧件213还可以布置成环绕在泄压件本体211a的刻痕槽2111的外侧,则压紧件213能够有效避开刻痕槽2111所在的位置,从而在电池单体20的内部压力达到预设阈值时能够有效缓解压紧件213对泄压件本体211a需要沿刻痕槽2111裂开造成的影响。
通过设计压紧件213,压紧件213压盖在泄压件211上,以将泄压件211压紧在压紧件213和凹槽部2102的槽底之间,从而有利于提高泄压件211安装于端盖210的稳定性。
在图11和图12所示的示例中,压紧件213背离泄压件211的顶面与凹槽部2102的槽底之间的距离d小于或者等于凹槽部2102的深度H。
值得说明的是,在本实施例中,泄压件211背离电池单体20内部的顶面与凹槽部2102的槽底之间的距离h1小于凹槽部2102的深度H,且h1还小于d。在一种情形中,如图11和图12所示,d可以等于H,此时,压紧件213的顶面能够与端盖210的顶面平齐。在另一种情形中,d可以小于H,此时,相较于端盖210的顶面,压紧件213的顶面更靠近凹槽部2102的槽底,换句话说,沿Z方向,压紧件213的顶面低于端盖210的顶面。
总而言之,通过设计压紧件213背离泄压件211的顶面与凹槽部2102的槽底之间的距离d小于或者等于凹槽部2102的深度H,压紧件213的顶面不凸出于端盖210的顶面。
这样,电池单体20采用本实施例的端盖组件21时,在设置压紧件213压紧泄压件211的基础上,电池单体20的压紧件213不凸出于端盖210的顶面,则压紧件213不会额外占用电池单体20在高度方向上的空间。这样,与相关技术中泄压件211凸出于端盖210顶面进行比较,在不改变电池单体20的总高度的前提下,采用本实施例的端盖组件21的电池单体20的内部空间更大,则该电池单体20的内部可容纳的极片的数量增加,电池单体20的活性物质容量随之提升,进而可以提升电池单体20的能量密度。
在一种可实现的方式中,压紧件213与端盖210可以由同种材质构成。例如,端盖210由钢制成时,压紧件213相应地由钢制成。再例如,端盖210由钛合金制成时,压紧件213相应地由钛合金制成。当然,在其他实施例中,端盖210和压紧件213也可以均由铁等金属材质制成。
通过将压紧件213的材质设计成与端盖210的材质相同,由同种金属制成的压紧件213与端盖210可以通过焊料216焊接相连,进而能够有效提高压紧件213与端盖210之间的连接强度,以利于提高端盖组件21的整体结构强度。具体地,可以采用激光焊接的方式将压紧件213与端盖210连接起来。
继续参考图10至图12,端盖组件21还包括绝缘件214,至少部分绝缘件214设置于压紧件213与泄压件211之间,以绝缘隔离压紧件213与泄压件211。
其中,压紧件213与泄压件211绝缘隔离,即通过在泄压件211和压紧件213之间设置绝缘件214能够实现泄压件211和压紧件213之间没有形成电导通。这里,至少部分绝缘件214设置于压紧件213与泄压件211之间应当作广义理解,也即,可以理解为绝缘件214全部设于压紧件213与泄压件211之间,以绝缘隔离压紧件213与泄压件211,也可以理解为绝缘件214仅有部分设于压紧件213与泄压件211之间。
示例性地,绝缘件214的材质可以为橡胶、也可以为塑料,绝缘件214为塑料时,具体可以为聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)、聚丙烯(PP)、聚碳酸酯(PC)或聚氯乙烯(PVC)等。
通过将绝缘件214的至少部分设置于泄压件211和压紧件213之间,以实现泄压件211与压紧件213之间的绝缘隔离,也就是说,通过绝缘件214能够实现泄压件211与压紧件213之间的电绝缘,减少泄压件211与压紧件213之间出现电流导通的现象,从而有利于提高泄压件211的使用寿命和具有这种端盖组件21的电池单体20的使用安全性,以免电池单体20出现短路现象。
在本申请的一些实施例中,如图11和图12所示,绝缘件214可以包括依次连接的第一绝缘部214a和第二绝缘部214b,第一绝缘部214a设置于泄压件211的部分顶面与压紧件213之间,第二绝缘部214b包覆泄压件211的外周侧面。
可以理解,第一绝缘部214a即与泄压件本体211a的部分顶面以及压紧件213的部分相抵,第二绝缘部214b设于第一绝缘部214a的边缘处,第二绝缘部214b与第二凸起部211b的外周侧面相接触,以隔绝第二凸起部211b与凹槽部2102的内周侧面的接触。
通过将绝缘件214设计为包括第一绝缘部214a和第二绝缘部214b,利用第一绝缘部214a实现泄压件本体211a与压紧件213之间的绝缘隔离,利用第二绝缘部214b实现泄压件211与凹槽部2102的连接部2102b(参考下文描述)绝缘隔离。综上,通过绝缘件214能够实现泄压件211与压紧件213及凹槽部2102的连接部2102b之间的电绝缘, 减少泄压件211与压紧件213及凹槽部2102之间出现电流导通的现象,以减小短路的风险,从而有利于提高泄压件211的使用寿命和具有这种端盖组件21的电池单体20的使用安全性。
具体可以参考图11和图12所示,端盖组件21还包括隔绝件215,隔绝件215设置于泄压件211与凹槽部2102的槽底之间,以使泄压件211与槽底绝缘隔离。
通过在泄压件211与凹槽部2102的槽底之间设置隔绝件215能够实现泄压件211与凹槽部2102的承载部2102a(参考下文描述)之间没有形成电导通。举例来说,隔绝件215具体可以设置在凹槽部2102的槽底上,以使凹槽部2102的槽底与泄压件211隔开。
和绝缘件214类似的,隔绝件215的材质也可以为橡胶、也可以为塑料,在隔绝件215为塑料的实施方案中,隔绝件215的材质具体可以为聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)、聚丙烯(PP)、聚碳酸酯(PC)或聚氯乙烯(PVC)等。
隔绝件215可以实现泄压件211与凹槽部2102的承载部2102a的绝缘隔离,以实现泄压件211与凹槽部2102的承载部2102a的电绝缘,减少泄压件211与凹槽部2102之间出现电流导通的现象,从而有利于提高泄压件211的使用寿命和具有这种端盖组件21的电池单体20的使用安全性。
隔绝件215与第二绝缘部214b连接,隔绝件215包覆泄压件211朝向凹槽部2102的槽底的部分底面。
隔绝件215除了如上文中的设置在凹槽部2102的槽底上,在图12所示的示例中,隔绝件215可以与第二绝缘部214b连接,以与绝缘件214连接形成为一个整体。具体来说,如图12所示,当端盖组件21具有密封件212时,隔绝件215相应的包覆在第二凸起部211b朝向凹槽部2102的槽底的底面;当端盖组件21不具有密封件212时,隔绝件215则配置成部分包覆在第二凸起部211b的底面、另一部分包覆在泄压件本体211a朝向凹槽部2102的槽底的一面。
通过设计隔绝件215与第二绝缘部214b连接,隔绝件215与绝缘件214成为一个整体,以将泄压件211与凹槽部2102完全绝缘隔离开来。
在隔绝件215与第二绝缘部214b连接的实施方案的基础上,隔绝件215进一步地还可以与绝缘件214通过一体成型工艺形成为一体件。
也即是说,第一绝缘部214a、第二绝缘部214b与隔绝件215为一体件,此时的隔绝件215相当于绝缘件214的一部分。本示例中,隔绝件215的材质与绝缘件214的材质相同。
通过设置隔绝件215与绝缘件214为一体件,不仅可以省去隔绝件215与绝缘件214的装配工序,以利于提高端盖组件21的装配效率,且在不增加成本的前提下,可以有效提高绝缘件214的结构强度。
图13为本申请实施例提供的又一种端盖组件21的局部截面示意图。作为一种可替换的实施例,参考图13所示,端盖组件21还包括密封件212,密封件212抵接于凹槽部2102的槽底与泄压件211之间,隔绝件215与密封件212紧固连接。
也就是说,当端盖组件21设有密封件212时,隔绝件215还可以与密封件212相连,隔绝件215与密封件212连接形成为一个整体。此时,隔绝件215可以看作为密封件212的一部分,即在密封件212的部分抵接于凹槽部2102的槽底与泄压件本体211a的实施方案中,密封件212还可以存在部分设于第二凸起部211b与凹槽部2102的槽底之间。
本示例中,隔绝件215的材质与密封件212的材质可以相同,使得隔绝件215与密封件212可以通过一体成型工艺形成为一体件。如此,无需单独安装隔绝件215,将密封件212安装至凹槽部2102后,隔绝件215便也安装到位,有利于提高组装效率。
如此,隔绝件215与密封件212成为一个整体,隔绝件215相当于是密封件212的一部分,使得密封件212不仅具有密封功能,还具有使泄压件211与凹槽部2102的槽底绝缘隔离的功能。还需指出的是,图12所示的示例中,端盖组件21组装时,需要对绝缘件214施加作用力使其变形才可使泄压件211安装至绝缘件214内,而本实施例中,由于隔绝件215与密封件212相连,因此绝缘件214容易安装至泄压件211上,以便于安装。
请参阅图12和图13,隔绝件215与泄压件211朝向凹槽部2102的槽底的一面相抵接,隔绝件215与凹槽部2102的槽底之间具有第二间隙D2。
也就是说,隔绝件215只与泄压件211朝向凹槽部2102的槽底的一面接触,而不与凹槽部2102的槽底接触。可见隔绝件215沿Z方向的厚度d小于第二凸起部211b与凹槽部2102的槽底之间的尺寸(即第二尺寸)h3。
这样设置,在隔绝件215与绝缘件214的第二绝缘部214b相连的实施方案中,第二间隙D2为隔绝件215安装提供装配间隙,以便于绝缘件214能够容易地安装到泄压件211上。
端盖210包括端盖本体2101,凹槽部2102包括承载部2102a以及连接部2102b,承载部2102a朝向电池单体20的外侧的表面构成凹槽部2102的槽底,连接部2102b围绕承载部2102a的边缘设置,承载部2102a与端盖本体2101通过连接部2102b相连。
这样,在一些实施例中,凹槽部2102与端盖本体2101可以设计为独立的两个部件,此时的端盖210即为分体设置的分体件。
其中,端盖本体2101、连接部2102b和承载部2102a为由一体成型工艺加工而成的一体件。也就是说,整个端盖210可以视为一体件,此时凹槽部2102可以是端盖210采用冲压工艺形成的。这样设计,省去了装配凹槽部2102与端盖本体2101的工序,提高了组装效率。同时,在不提高成本的前提下,可以提高端盖210的结构强度。
在上述实施例中,构成泄压件211的材质可以包括铝,构成端盖210的材质可以包括钢。例如,泄压件211的材质可以为铝或者铝合金,端盖210的材质可以为钢或者钢合金。相比之下,钢的结构强度高于铝的结构强度,则泄压件211的硬度会小于端盖210的硬度。
通过设置端盖210由钢制成、泄压件211由铝制成,钢制端盖210具有耐高温的特性,以利于降低电池单体20因短路或过充电现象出现***而导致高温熔化的风险,缓解了电池单体20高温熔化的问题。与此同时,铝制泄压件211具有较低的硬度,便于加工形成刻痕槽2111,且由于端盖210的硬度大于泄压件211的硬度,使得在电池单体20的内部压力增大时电池单体20的内部气体会优先冲击硬度较小的泄压件211,以使泄压件211起到泄压的功能,从而有利于实现电池单体20的排气方向可控。
在一个具体实施例中,如图12所示,端盖组件21可以包括端盖210、泄压件211、密封件212、绝缘件214、压紧件213和隔绝件215。其中,端盖210上设有朝向电池单体20内部凹陷的凹槽部2102,凹槽部2102的槽底设有第一通孔2104,第一通孔2104的边缘设置有第一凸起部2103;泄压件211安装在凹槽部2102内,泄压件211包括泄压件本体211a和设置在泄压件本体211a的边缘的第二凸起部211b,泄压件本体211a覆盖在第一通孔2104的上方,第二凸起部211b朝向凹槽部2102的槽底凸出;密封件212包括第一密封部212a和第二密封部212b,第一密封部212a抵接于第一凸起部2103与泄压件本体211a之间,第二密封部212b抵接于凹槽部2102的槽底与泄压件本体211a之 间。并且,第二凸起部211b与第一密封部212a的外周侧面相抵接,第二密封部212b与第一凸起部2103的外周侧面之间存在第一间隙。其中,第二密封部212b上设有与第一通孔2104连通的通孔。
上述压紧件213位于凹槽部2102内,且压紧件213位于泄压件211的上方,绝缘件214包括相连的第一绝缘部214a和第二绝缘部214b,第一绝缘部214a抵接于泄压件211与压紧件213之间,第二绝缘部214b包覆在泄压件211的外周侧面,隔绝件215与第二绝缘部214b连接并包覆第二凸起部211b朝向槽底的部分底面,隔绝件215与凹槽部2102的槽底之间还存在第二间隙D2。
上述压紧件213背离泄压件211的顶面与凹槽部2102的槽底之间的距离d等于凹槽部2102的深度H,同时,第一凸起部2103凸出于槽底的尺寸h2大于第二凸起部211b与凹槽部2102的槽底之间的尺寸h3。并且,密封件212沿凹槽部2102的深度方向上的最大尺寸为第三尺寸h5还大于第一凸起部2103凸出于槽底的尺寸h2。
最后应说明的是:以上各实施例仅用以说明本申请的技术方案,而非对其限制;尽管参照前述各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,或者对其中部分或者全部技术特征进行等同替换;而这些修改或者替换,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范围,其均应涵盖在本申请的权利要求和说明书的范围当中。尤其是,只要不存在结构冲突,各个实施例中所提到的各项技术特征均可以任意方式组合起来。本申请并不局限于文中公开的特定实施例,而是包括落入权利要求的范围内的所有技术方案。
