Side-pole multi-voltage nickel-metal hybrid battery module

Abstract

The invention relates to a side-pole multi-voltage nickel-metal hybrid battery module, which belongs to the technical field of batteries. The side-pole multi-voltage nickel-metal hybrid battery module comprises cells (5) which are fixed in a battery module shell (1), wherein a plurality of partition plates (2) are vertically arranged in the inner cavity of the battery module shell (1), the inner cavity of the battery module shell (1) is divided into a plurality of single battery cavities (3) which are sealed to one another, one cell (5) is encapsulated in each single battery cavity (3), each partition plate (2) is fixedly provided with a conductive pole (4), the cells (5) are connected with one another in series through the conductive poles (4), the cells (5) on two ends of the battery module shell (1) respectively penetrate through a positive pole (6) and a negative pole (7) of the battery module shell (1). The plurality of cells are connected with one another in series through the conductive poles, so that the cells are directly connected together inside the battery module shell, and the weight of the batter module is reduced. The side-pole multi-voltage nickel-metal hybrid battery module has the advantages of high capacity ratio, low cost, safety in use, long service life and the like.

[0002] The traditional nickel-metal hydride battery module is composed of a certain number of single batteries connected in series through the connecting plate. Each single battery is a complete battery with a positive pole and a negative pole. Due to the thermal effect of the nickel-hydrogen battery during charging and discharging It is very large, and the sealing requirements for each single battery are very high. A sealing structure needs to be set at the connection between each positive pole and negative pole and the battery module shell. The positive pole, negative pole, nut, and sealing structure cause battery mold The weight of the battery pack is high, the cost is very high, and there are many failure points. Any single battery leakage can cause a short circuit and scrap the entire battery module. The connecting plate is located outside the battery, which is prone to short circuit, threatening the entire battery module or even using it. Safety of battery pack equipment

[0003] In the past, the pole pieces of nickel-metal hydride batteries were set with white edges (nickel strips not coated with active materials) on the upper side of the pole pieces, and each pole piece was welded with a tab (also called a current collector), and then passed The tabs are welded to the current collector. The pole pieces of the Ni-MH battery are generally vertically rectangular, resulting in a relatively short welded white edge. After the white edge is connected to the current collector, the battery is prone to heat. Connecting with the current collector, there are many welding process steps, and more importantly, the intermediate carrier of the tab is added. The current passes from the pole piece through the tab and then through the current collector, resulting in an increase in resistance, and the battery is easy to heat up, and the tab Welding with the white edge of the pole piece is often not firm, causing the pole piece to fall off from the tab during the use of the battery, directly causing the battery capacity to drop, affecting the battery life, and breaking the balance between the batteries in the battery module , reduce the service life of the battery module
