Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of back-contact batteries, in particular to a back-contact battery assembly and a photovoltaic system. Background Art

[0002] In existing back-contact battery modules, the series bus bars between adjacent series battery strings are usually installed at the edge of the battery module, and the parallel bus bars between adjacent parallel battery strings are usually installed in the reserved spacing area between the two battery strings. This results in a certain amount of space being required at the edge of the battery module to place the series bus bars, and a certain amount of space also being required between the two parallel battery strings to place the parallel bus bars. On the one hand, this reduces the effective light-receiving area of ​​the battery module and affects the module conversion efficiency. On the other hand, it affects the aesthetics of the battery module.

[0003] In some products, the bus bar is installed in the middle position on the back of the battery cell, and an insulating strip is set between the bus bar and the battery cell. Although this setting can hide the bus bar, it is necessary to make holes in the insulating strip or replace the bus bar with intermittent insulating blocks so that the bus bar can contact the same polarity welding strip on the battery cell and be insulated from the opposite polarity welding strip on the battery cell. This setting has high requirements on the opening accuracy of the insulating strip and the arrangement position accuracy of the insulating block. It is difficult to produce and is prone to positional offset when the insulating strip is opened or when the insulating blocks are laminated. The offset in the width direction can easily cause a short circuit. Utility Model Content

[0083] Example 1

[0084] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment discloses a back contact battery assembly, comprising:

[0085] A battery string includes battery cells connected in series. The battery cells include a first battery cell 11 and a second battery cell 12 arranged along a first direction. The first battery cell 11 is provided at the end of the battery string.

[0086] The first insulating strip 21 is provided at one end of the second battery cell 12 close to the first battery cell 11.

[0087] The first bus bar 31 is provided on the side of the first insulating strip 21 facing away from the second battery cell 12, i.e., the back side of the first insulating strip 21. Conversely, the side of the first insulating strip 21 facing the second battery cell 12 is the front side of the first insulating strip 21.

[0088] The first insulating strip 21 and the first bus bar 31 are both extended along the second direction, and the first direction and the second direction are intersected.

[0089] The first welding ribbon is used to electrically connect the first bus bar 31 and the first battery cell 11.

[0090] An extension section 211 extending beyond the first bus bar 31 is provided at one end of the first insulating strip 21 close to the first battery cell 11, and the extension section 211 extends beyond the second battery cell 12. In the thickness direction of the second battery cell 12, the orthographic projection of the extension section 211 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first battery cell 11. That is, the extension section 211 can cover the edge area of ​​the first battery cell 11 to separate the first bus bar 31 from the edge area of ​​the first battery cell 11.

[0091] It is understandable that the electrical connection method may be welding, bonding with conductive adhesive, etc., but is not limited thereto.

[0092] It is understandable that in a battery string, the battery string may include two battery cells connected in series, three battery cells connected in series, or other larger numbers of battery cells. The specific number of battery cells to be connected in series can be determined based on actual usage.

[0093] In this embodiment, the first bus bar 31 is an end bus bar, and the first battery cell 11 is located at the end of the battery string. For ease of explanation, in this embodiment, the end where the first battery cell 11 is located is recorded as the tail end of the battery string, that is, in the first direction, the first battery cell 11 is the last battery cell of the battery string, and the second battery cell 12 is the second to last battery cell of the battery string. It is not difficult to understand that the end where the first battery cell 11 is located can also be recorded as the head end of the battery string, which will not be repeated here.

[0094] Optionally, in the same battery string, adjacent battery cells can be connected in series by means of welding strips, conductive adhesive, etc.

[0095] In one embodiment, adjacent battery cells are connected by series welding ribbons 51. Specifically, the series welding ribbons 51 include first series welding ribbons 511 and second series welding ribbons 512. In the first direction, the first series welding ribbons 511 and the second series welding ribbons 512 are arranged alternately. In the second direction, the first series welding ribbons 511 and the second series welding ribbons 512 are arranged alternately. In a battery string, the Nth battery cell, the N+1th battery cell, and the N+2th battery cell (N is a positive integer greater than 1) are arranged in sequence along the first direction, wherein the positive electrode welding point of the Nth battery cell and the negative electrode welding point of the N+1th battery cell are connected in series through multiple first series welding ribbons 511, and the positive electrode welding point of the N+1th battery cell and the negative electrode welding point of the N+2th battery cell are connected in series through multiple second series welding ribbons 512.

[0096] During assembly, the battery cells in the battery string are connected in series, the first insulating strip 21 is arranged at one end of the second battery cell 12 close to the first battery cell 11, the first bus bar 31 is arranged on the back of the first insulating strip 21, the main body of the first welding strip is electrically connected to the effective welding position of the first battery cell 11, and the end of the first welding strip close to the second battery cell 12 is electrically connected to the first bus bar 31, so that the first bus bar 31 can draw the current of the battery string.

[0097] First, in the present invention, the first bus bar 31 is arranged on the second battery cell 12, and the first bus bar 31 and the second battery cell 12 are separated by the first insulating strip 21. On the one hand, there is no need to reserve space on the edge of the battery assembly for placing the bus bar, and the battery assembly can reserve more space for installing battery cells, so that the effective light-receiving area of ​​the battery assembly is larger and the assembly conversion efficiency is higher. On the other hand, when observing from the light-receiving surface (or "front") of the battery cell, the first insulating strip 21 can block the first bus bar 31 to prevent the first bus bar 31 from being exposed, and the overall aesthetics of the battery assembly is better.

[0098] Secondly, compared to setting the bus bar in the middle position on the back of the battery cell, the first bus bar 31 of the utility model is set at the end of the second battery cell 12 close to the first battery cell 11. The first welding strip can be fully fitted and welded with the effective welding position of the first battery cell 11, thereby avoiding the installation of the first bus bar 31 causing insufficient welding between the first welding strip and the first battery cell 11 and affecting the current collection. At the same time, after the first welding strip is welded to the first battery cell 11, it can be directly connected to the first bus bar 31 without the need to open holes in the insulating strip or replace it with an intermittently set insulating block. During assembly, it is only necessary to place the entire first insulating strip 21 on the end of the second battery cell 12 close to the first battery cell 11, which effectively reduces the production precision requirements and production difficulty, and can avoid short circuits caused by position offset when opening holes in the insulating strip or position offset when laminating the insulating blocks, thereby increasing product yield. At the same time, the first insulating strip 21 of the present invention is provided with an extension section 211. On the one hand, the first insulating strip 21 is allowed to have a certain degree of offset in the width direction relative to the first bus bar 31 and the first insulating strip 21 relative to the two battery cells during the preparation process, thereby reducing the production precision requirements and production difficulty. On the other hand, the first insulating strip 21 can cover the edges of the second battery cell 12 and the first battery cell 11, thereby not only avoiding the first bus bar 31 from contacting the heterosexual welding strip / heterogenic grid line on the first battery cell 11 to cause a short circuit, but also avoiding the first welding strip from contacting the second battery cell 12. The short circuit caused by the contact between the heterogeneous welding strips / heterogeneous grid lines of the cell sheet 12 and the short circuit easily caused by conductive foreign matter such as tin slag during the preparation process can further reduce the risk of short circuit and improve the reliability of the battery assembly. Especially when the battery sheet is cut into half sheets, the cut edge is very likely to cause a short circuit after cutting. The setting of the extension section 211 of the utility model can effectively avoid the short circuit easily caused by the cut edge, so that the cut edge of the battery half is set on the side of the first bus bar 31 on the battery sheet or on the side of the adjacent battery sheet close to the first bus bar 31, which can also ensure the reliability of the battery assembly.

[0099] Furthermore, when the bus bar is set at the outer edge of the last cell in the battery string, that is, when the first cell 11 is away from one end of the second cell 12, since the outer edge of the last cell in the battery string is close to the edge of the battery assembly, the stress there is relatively large during lamination, which is prone to defects such as fragments. At the same time, the installation of the bus bar will affect the welding between the first welding ribbon and the first cell 11. The first welding ribbon cannot be welded to the first cell 11 at the position covered by the bus bar, resulting in insufficient welding between the first welding ribbon and the first cell 11 and poor current collection. This situation is particularly serious when the battery assembly is a main grid back contact battery assembly.

[0100] In contrast, the built-in structure of the end bus bar of the present invention can be applied to battery modules with main grid back contact and battery modules without main grid back contact, and is more versatile. In addition, the end of the second battery cell 12 close to the first battery cell 11 has less stress during lamination than the outer edge of the last battery cell in the battery string, which can reduce the risk of fragmentation and cracking and further improve the reliability of the battery module.

[0101] In one embodiment, see Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the first battery cell 11 and the second battery cell 12 are arranged on the same plane.

[0102] In the first direction, the width of the portion of the extension section 211 extending outside the second battery cell 12 is greater than the distance between the first battery cell 11 and the second battery cell 12 .

[0103] As a result, the extension section 211 can reserve sufficient width, allowing the first insulating strip 21 to be offset to a certain extent in the width direction relative to the first bus bar 31 and the first insulating strip 21 relative to the two battery cells during the preparation process, reducing the production precision requirements and production difficulty. On the other hand, the extension section 211 can extend to cover the edge area of ​​the first battery cell 11 and the edge area of ​​the second battery cell 12, which can avoid the first bus bar 31 from contacting the anisotropic welding strip / anisotropic grid line on the first battery cell 11 and causing a short circuit, and can also avoid the first welding strip from contacting the anisotropic welding strip / anisotropic grid line on the second battery cell 12 and causing a short circuit, further reducing the risk of short circuit and improving the reliability of the battery assembly.

[0104] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 As shown, in the first direction, the width of the extension section 211 is:

[0105] 1mm≤L1≤l 11 +l 12 +l 13 ,

[0106] Wherein, L1 is the width of the extension section 211 in the first direction, l 11 is the distance between the first battery cell 11 and the second battery cell 12, l 12 The relative width distance from the edge of the first battery cell 11 close to the second battery cell 12 to the first welding point 61, the first welding point 61 is used to connect with the first welding ribbon and is provided at the end of the first battery cell 11 close to the second battery cell 12. 13 It is the relative width distance between the edge of the first bus bar 31 close to one end of the first battery cell 11 and the edge of the second battery cell 12 close to one end of the first battery cell 11 .

[0107] Understandable, 11 +l 13 >1mm,l11 <1mm, therefore, L1≥1mm, which can ensure that the extension section 211 can extend to cover the edge area of ​​the first battery cell 11 and the edge area of ​​the second battery cell 12, while reserving sufficient offset space for the horizontal tolerance of the equipment placement in the preparation process and the tolerance of the bus bar offset in the lamination process, thereby allowing the first insulating strip 21 to have a small offset in the width direction relative to the first bus bar 31 and the first insulating strip 21 relative to the two battery cells.

[0108] When the width of the extension section 211 is too small, the risk of short circuit increases and the reliability of the battery assembly decreases. As the width of the extension section 211 increases, the reliability of the battery assembly increases. The displacement deviation of the first insulating strip 21 relative to the first bus bar 31 and the first insulating strip 21 relative to the two battery cells in the width direction allowed during the preparation process increases, and the production accuracy requirement decreases. However, when the width of the extension section 211 is too large, it will affect the sufficient welding between the first welding strip and the effective welding position on the first battery cell 11, the current collection effect will decrease, and it will affect the bifaciality of the battery assembly. It can be understood that the first welding point 61 is located at the edge of the effective welding position of the first battery cell 11 closest to the second battery cell 12 (that is, the edgemost connection point of the first welding strip 41 on the first battery cell 11). The first welding point 61 can be a grid line or a pad. In the present utility model, by controlling 1mm≤L1≤l 11 +l 12 +l 13 , ensuring that the extended section 211 of the first insulating strip 21 can extend to cover the edge area of ​​the first battery cell 11 and the edge area of ​​the second battery cell 12, further improving the reliability and production yield of the battery assembly, while at the same time, not causing unnecessary material waste and avoiding affecting the sufficient welding of the first welding strip.

[0109] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 As shown, in the first direction, the width of the extension section 211 is:

[0110] 1mm≤L1≤l 11 +l 13 +4mm,

[0111] Wherein, L1 is the width of the extension section 211 in the first direction, l 11 is the distance between the first battery cell 11 and the second battery cell 12, l 13 It is the relative width distance between the edge of the first bus bar 31 close to one end of the first battery cell 11 and the edge of the second battery cell 12 close to one end of the first battery cell 11 .

[0112] Within this range, while allowing for offset errors in the preparation process, it is possible to ensure that the extended section 211 of the first insulating strip 21 can extend to cover the edge area of ​​the first battery cell 11 and the edge area of ​​the second battery cell 12, further improving the reliability and production yield of the battery assembly. At the same time, it will not cause unnecessary waste of materials. Even if the first insulating strip 21 is offset during production and preparation, it can ensure that it will not affect the sufficient welding of the first welding strip, which can effectively reduce the production accuracy.

[0113] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the battery assembly includes at least one series-connected battery string group 100, and the same series-connected battery string group 100 includes two battery strings arranged along the second direction and arranged in series with each other. In the same series-connected battery string group 100, the same first bus bar 31 extends from the second battery cell 12 in one battery string to the second battery cell 12 in another battery string.

[0114] Furthermore, the first welding strip includes a first positive electrode welding strip and a first negative electrode welding strip. The same first bus bar 31 is electrically connected to the first positive electrode welding strip in one battery string and electrically connected to the first negative electrode welding strip in another battery string, so that adjacent battery strings are connected in series.

[0115] Exemplarily, the same series battery string group 100 includes a first battery string 10A and a second battery string 10B, and the first welding strip includes a first positive electrode welding strip and a first negative electrode welding strip. In the same series battery string group 100, the same first bus bar 31 extends from the second battery cell 12 in the first battery string 10A to the second battery cell 12 in the second battery string 10B, and in the first battery string 10A, the first bus bar 31 is electrically connected to the first positive electrode welding strip on the first battery cell 11, and in the second battery string 10B, the first bus bar 31 is electrically connected to the first negative electrode welding strip on the first battery cell 11.

[0116] In one embodiment, the battery assembly includes a parallel battery string group 200, and the same parallel battery string group 200 includes at least two battery strings arranged along a first direction and arranged in parallel with each other, and a spacing area is set between the two battery strings arranged in parallel with each other, and an intermediate bus bar 32 is provided in the spacing area. The intermediate bus bar 32 is used to connect two battery strings arranged adjacent to each other in the first direction in parallel, that is, the end bus bar built-in structure of the utility model can cooperate with the conventional intermediate bus bar 32 installation structure.

[0117] In another more preferred embodiment, see Figures 4 and 5 As shown, each battery string is provided with a fourth battery cell 14 at one end away from the first battery cell 11, and a third battery cell 13 at one end of the fourth battery cell 14 close to the first battery cell 11.

[0118] The battery assembly includes a parallel battery string group 200, each parallel battery string group 200 includes at least two battery strings arranged along a first direction and arranged in parallel with each other, and the fourth battery cells 14 in the two parallel battery strings are arranged adjacent to each other in the first direction.

[0119] The battery pack also includes:

[0120] The second insulating strip 22 is provided at the edge of the third battery cell 13 in a battery string, and the second insulating strip 22 is provided at one end of the third battery cell 13 close to the fourth battery cell 14.

[0121] The middle bus bar 32 is used to connect two battery strings arranged adjacent to each other in the first direction in parallel. The middle bus bar 32 is arranged on the side of the second insulating strip 22 facing away from the third battery cell 13.

[0122] The second insulating strip 22 and the middle bus bar 32 are both extended along the second direction.

[0123] The second welding ribbon 42 is used to electrically connect the middle bus bar 32 , the fourth battery cell 14 in the battery string, and the fourth battery cell 14 in another battery string adjacent to the battery string in the first direction.

[0124] For example, see Figures 4 and 5 As shown, for ease of explanation, the third battery string 20A and the fourth battery string 20B connected in parallel in the same parallel battery string group 200 are taken as an example, wherein the third battery string 20A is the battery string where the middle bus bar 32 is located:

[0125] The third battery cell 13 in the third battery string 20A is recorded as the third battery cell 13A, the fourth battery cell 14 is recorded as the fourth battery cell 14A, the third battery cell 13 in the fourth battery string 20B is recorded as the third battery cell 13B, the fourth battery cell 14 is recorded as the fourth battery cell 14B, the third battery string 20A and the fourth battery string 20B are arranged along the first direction, and the fourth battery cell 14A and the fourth battery cell 14B are arranged adjacent to each other in the first direction.

[0126] The battery pack also includes:

[0127] The second insulating strip 22 is provided at the edge of the third battery cell 13A in the third battery string 20A, and the second insulating strip 22 is provided at one end of the third battery cell 13A close to the fourth battery cell 14A.

[0128] The middle bus bar 32 is used to connect the third battery string 20A and the fourth battery string 20B in parallel. The middle bus bar 32 is provided on the side of the second insulating strip 22 facing away from the third battery cell 13.

[0129] The second insulating strip 22 and the middle bus bar 32 are both extended along the second direction.

[0130] The second welding ribbon 42 is used to electrically connect the middle bus bar 32 , the fourth cell 14A, and the fourth cell 14B. That is, the same second welding ribbon 42 extends from the fourth cell 14B to the fourth cell 14A and the middle bus bar 32 in sequence.

[0131] Furthermore, the second welding ribbon 42 includes a second positive electrode welding ribbon 421 and a second negative electrode welding ribbon 422 , and the fourth battery cell 14A, the fourth battery cell 14B and the middle bus bar 32 are electrically connected via the second positive electrode welding ribbon 421 or the second negative electrode welding ribbon 422 .

[0132] The built-in structure of the intermediate bus bar 32 of the present invention can, on the one hand, increase the effective light-receiving area of ​​the battery assembly, improve the conversion efficiency of the assembly, avoid the exposure of the intermediate bus bar 32, and make the overall appearance of the battery assembly better; on the other hand, it can ensure that the second welding strip 42 can be fully fitted and welded to the effective welding position of the fourth battery cell 14, avoiding the installation of the intermediate bus bar 32 causing insufficient welding between the second welding strip 42 and the fourth battery cell 14 and affecting the current collection. During assembly, it is only necessary to place the entire second insulating strip 22 on the end of the third battery cell 13 close to the fourth battery cell 14. By setting the extension section 221, the second insulating strip 22 is allowed to have a certain degree of offset in the width direction relative to the intermediate bus bar 32 and the second insulating strip 22 relative to the two battery cells during the preparation process, which effectively reduces the production precision requirements and production difficulty, and can effectively reduce the risk of short circuit. Furthermore, the built-in structure of the intermediate bus bar 32 of the present invention can be applied to battery assemblies with main grid back contact and battery assemblies without main grid back contact, and has stronger versatility. The built-in structure of the intermediate bus bar 32 has less stress during lamination, which can reduce the risk of hidden cracks and fragments of battery cells, and the reliability of the back contact battery assembly is good.

[0133] The built-in structure of the end bus bar of the present invention cooperates with the built-in structure of the middle bus bar 32 of the present invention to increase the effective light-receiving area of ​​the battery assembly, improve the conversion efficiency of the assembly, improve the overall aesthetics and reliability of the battery assembly, effectively reduce the production precision requirements and production difficulty, and improve production efficiency.

[0134] In one embodiment, see Figures 4 and 5 As shown, an end of the second insulating strip 22 close to the fourth battery cell 14 is provided with an extension section 221 extending outside the middle bus bar 32, and the extension section 221 extends outside the third battery cell 13. In the thickness direction of the third battery cell 13, the orthographic projection of the extension section 221 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the fourth battery cell 14 in the battery string in which it is located.

[0135] That is, an extension section 221 extending beyond the middle bus bar 32 is provided at one end of the second insulating strip 22 close to the fourth battery cell 14A, and the extension section 221 extends beyond the third battery cell 13A. In addition, in the thickness direction of the third battery cell 13A, the orthographic projection of the extension section 221 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the fourth battery cell 14A.

[0136] The second insulating strip 22 of the utility model is provided with an extension section 221. On the one hand, it allows the second insulating strip 22 to be offset to a certain extent in the width direction relative to the middle bus bar 32 and the second insulating strip 22 relative to the two battery cells during the preparation process, reducing the production precision requirements and production difficulty. On the other hand, the second insulating strip 22 can cover the edges of the third battery cell 13 and the fourth battery cell 14, thereby not only avoiding the middle bus bar 32 and the heterogeneous welding strip / heterogeneous grid line on the fourth battery cell 14 from contacting and causing a short circuit, but also avoiding the second welding strip 42 and the heterogeneous welding strip / heterogeneous grid line on the third battery cell 13 from contacting and causing a short circuit, further reducing the risk of short circuit and improving the reliability of the battery assembly. Especially when the battery cell is cut into half pieces, the cutting edge is very likely to cause a short circuit after cutting. The setting of the extension section 221 of the utility model can effectively avoid the short circuit easily caused by the cutting edge, so that the cutting edge of the battery half is set on the side where the middle bus bar 32 is located on the battery cell or on the side of the adjacent battery cell close to the middle bus bar 32, which can also ensure the reliability of the battery assembly.

[0137] Furthermore, the present invention provides a photovoltaic system including the above-mentioned back-contact cell assembly.

[0138] In this embodiment, the photovoltaic system can be applied to photovoltaic power stations, such as ground power stations, rooftop power stations, water surface power stations, etc., and can also be applied to equipment or devices that use solar energy to generate electricity, such as user solar power supplies, solar street lights, solar cars, solar buildings, etc. Of course, it can be understood that the application scenarios of the photovoltaic system are not limited to this, that is, the photovoltaic system can be applied in all fields that require solar energy to generate electricity. Taking the photovoltaic power generation system network as an example, the photovoltaic system may include a photovoltaic array, a junction box and an inverter. The photovoltaic array can be an array combination of multiple battery modules. For example, multiple battery modules can form multiple photovoltaic arrays. The photovoltaic array is connected to the junction box. The junction box can converge the current generated by the photovoltaic array. The converged current flows through the inverter to be converted into the alternating current required by the mains power grid and then connected to the mains power network to achieve solar power supply.

[0139] Example 2

[0140] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that, see Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the end of the second battery cell 12 close to the first battery cell 11 is at least partially stacked with the first battery cell 11.

[0141] In the first direction, the width of the extension section 211 is greater than the width of the stacking region between the first cell 11 and the second cell 12 .

[0142] That is, the first battery cell 11 and the second battery cell 12 are stacked, and there is no gap between the two cells.

[0143] In one embodiment, see Figure 8 As shown, the side of the second cell 12 facing away from the first insulating strip 21 is at least partially stacked with the first cell 11 .

[0144] In another embodiment, see Figure 7 As shown, the side of the second cell 12 facing the first insulating strip 21 is at least partially stacked with the first cell 11 .

[0145] In one embodiment, preferably, the width of the extension section 211 is:

[0146] 1mm≤L2≤l 22 +l 23 -l 21 ,

[0147] Wherein, L2 is the width of the extension section 211 in the first direction, l 21 is the width of the stacking area between the first battery cell 11 and the second battery cell 12, l 22 The relative width distance from the edge of the first battery cell 11 close to the second battery cell 12 to the first welding point 61, the first welding point 61 is used to connect with the first welding ribbon and is provided at the end of the first battery cell 11 close to the second battery cell 12. 23 It is the relative width distance between the edge of the first bus bar 31 close to one end of the first battery cell 11 and the edge of the second battery cell 12 close to one end of the first battery cell 11 .

[0148] Understandable, 21 +l 23 >1mm,l 21 <1mm, therefore, L2≥1mm, which can ensure that the extension section 211 can extend to cover the edge area of ​​the first battery cell 11 and the edge area of ​​the second battery cell 12, while reserving sufficient offset space for the horizontal tolerance of the equipment placement in the preparation process and the tolerance of the bus bar offset in the lamination process, thereby allowing the first insulating strip 21 to have a small offset in the width direction relative to the first bus bar 31 during the preparation process.

[0149] When the width of the extension section 211 is too small, the risk of short circuit increases and the reliability of the battery assembly decreases. As the width of the extension section 211 increases, the reliability of the battery assembly increases. The displacement deviation of the first insulating strip 21 relative to the first bus bar 31 and the first insulating strip 21 relative to the two battery cells in the width direction allowed during the preparation process increases, and the production accuracy requirement decreases. However, when the width of the extension section 211 is too large, it will affect the sufficient welding between the first welding strip and the effective welding position on the first battery cell 11, the current collection effect will decrease, and it will affect the bifaciality of the battery assembly. In the present utility model, by controlling 1mm≤L2≤l 22 +l 23 -l 21 , ensuring that the extended section 211 of the first insulating strip 21 can extend to cover the edge area of ​​the first battery cell 11 and the edge area of ​​the second battery cell 12, further improving the reliability and production yield of the battery assembly, while at the same time, not causing unnecessary material waste and avoiding affecting the sufficient welding of the first welding strip.

[0150] In one embodiment, preferably, the width of the extension section 211 is:

[0151] 1mm≤L2≤l 23 +4mm-l 21 ,

[0152] Wherein, L2 is the width of the extension section 211 in the first direction, l 21 is the width of the stacking area between the first battery cell 11 and the second battery cell 12, l 23 It is the relative width distance between the edge of the first bus bar 31 close to one end of the first battery cell 11 and the edge of the second battery cell 12 close to one end of the first battery cell 11 .

[0153] Within this range, while allowing for offset errors in the preparation process, it is possible to ensure that the extended section 211 of the first insulating strip 21 can extend to cover the edge area of ​​the first battery cell 11 and the edge area of ​​the second battery cell 12, further improving the reliability and production yield of the battery assembly. At the same time, it will not cause unnecessary waste of materials. Even if the first insulating strip 21 is offset during production and preparation, it can ensure that it will not affect the sufficient welding of the first welding strip, which can effectively reduce the production accuracy.

[0154] Those skilled in the art will clearly understand that, for the convenience and brevity of description, the structure and implementation principle of the back-contact battery described above can refer to the corresponding structure and implementation principle in the aforementioned embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here.

[0155] Example 3

[0156] See also Figures 9 and 10As shown, this embodiment discloses a back contact battery assembly, comprising:

[0157] A parallel battery string group 200 includes at least two battery strings arranged in a first direction and arranged in parallel with each other. Each battery string includes battery cells connected in series. The battery cells include a third battery cell 13 and a fourth battery cell 14 arranged in the first direction. The fourth battery cell 14 is arranged at the end of the battery string. The fourth battery cells 14 in the two parallel battery strings are arranged adjacent to each other in the first direction.

[0158] The second insulating strip 22 is provided at the edge of the third battery cell 13 in a battery string, and the second insulating strip 22 is provided at one end of the third battery cell 13 close to the fourth battery cell 14.

[0159] The middle bus bar 32 is used to connect two battery strings arranged adjacent to each other in the first direction in parallel. The middle bus bar 32 is arranged on the side of the second insulating strip 22 facing away from the third battery cell 13.

[0160] The second insulating strip 22 and the middle bus bar 32 are both extended along the second direction.

[0161] The second welding ribbon 42 is used to electrically connect the middle bus bar 32, the fourth battery cell 14 in the battery string where the middle bus bar 32 is located, and the fourth battery cell 14 in another battery string adjacent to the battery string in the first direction.

[0162] An extension section 221 extending beyond the middle bus bar 32 is provided at one end of the second insulating strip 22 proximal to the fourth cell 14. The extension section 221 extends beyond the third cell 13. In the thickness direction of the third cell 13, the orthographic projection of the extension section 221 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the fourth cell 14 in the cell string in which the extension section 221 is located.

[0163] For ease of explanation, the third battery string 20A and the fourth battery string 20B connected in parallel in the same parallel battery string group 200 are taken as an example, wherein the third battery string 20A is the battery string where the middle bus bar 32 is located:

[0164] The third battery cell 13 in the third battery string 20A is recorded as the third battery cell 13A, the fourth battery cell 14 is recorded as the fourth battery cell 14A, the third battery cell 13 in the fourth battery string 20B is recorded as the third battery cell 13B, the fourth battery cell 14 is recorded as the fourth battery cell 14B, the third battery string 20A and the fourth battery string 20B are arranged along the first direction, and the fourth battery cell 14A and the fourth battery cell 14B are arranged adjacent to each other in the first direction.

[0165] The battery pack also includes:

[0166] The second insulating strip 22 is provided at the edge of the third battery cell 13A in the third battery string 20A, and the second insulating strip 22 is provided at one end of the third battery cell 13A close to the fourth battery cell 14A.

[0167] The middle bus bar 32 is used to connect the third battery string 20A and the fourth battery string 20B in parallel. The middle bus bar 32 is provided on the side of the second insulating strip 22 facing away from the third battery cell 13.

[0168] The second insulating strip 22 and the middle bus bar 32 are both extended along the second direction.

[0169] The second welding ribbon 42 is used to electrically connect the middle bus bar 32, the fourth battery cell 14A, and the fourth battery cell 14B. That is, the same second welding ribbon 42 extends from the fourth battery cell 14B to the fourth battery cell 14A and the middle bus bar 32 in sequence.

[0170] An extension section 221 extending beyond the middle bus bar 32 is provided at one end of the second insulating strip 22 proximal to the fourth cell 14A. The extension section 221 extends beyond the third cell 13A, and in the thickness direction of the third cell 13A, the orthographic projection of the extension section 221 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the fourth cell 14A.

[0171] During assembly, the battery cells in the battery string are connected in series with each other, the second insulating strip 22 is arranged at one end of the third battery cell 13A close to the fourth battery cell 14A, the intermediate bus bar 32 is arranged on the back of the second insulating strip 22, and the main body of the second welding strip 42 is electrically connected to the effective welding position of the fourth battery cell 14A and the effective welding position of the fourth battery cell 14B respectively. The end of the second welding strip 42 close to the third battery cell 13A is electrically connected to the intermediate bus bar 32, thereby enabling the intermediate bus bar 32 to be connected in parallel to the third battery string 20A and the fourth battery string 20B.

[0172] First, in the present invention, the intermediate bus bar 32 is provided on the third battery cell 13A, and the intermediate bus bar 32 and the third battery cell 13A are separated by the second insulating strip 22. On the one hand, there is no need to reserve space on the edge of the battery assembly for placing the bus bar, and the battery assembly can reserve more space for installing battery cells, so that the effective light-receiving area of ​​the battery assembly is larger and the assembly conversion efficiency is higher. On the other hand, when observing from the light-receiving surface (or "front") of the battery cell, the second insulating strip 22 can block the intermediate bus bar 32 to prevent the intermediate bus bar 32 from being exposed, and the overall aesthetics of the battery assembly is better.

[0173] Secondly, compared to setting the bus bar in the middle position on the back of the battery cell, the intermediate bus bar 32 of the present invention is set at the end of the third battery cell 13A close to the fourth battery cell 14A. The second welding strip 42 extends to the fourth battery cell 14A after being connected to the effective welding position of the fourth battery cell 14B, and can be fully fitted and welded to the effective welding position of the fourth battery cell 14A, thereby avoiding the installation of the intermediate bus bar 32 causing insufficient welding of the second welding strip 42 and the fourth battery cell 14A, thereby affecting the current collection. At the same time, after the second welding strip 42 is welded to the fourth battery cell 14A and the fourth battery cell 14B, it can be directly connected to the intermediate bus bar 32 without the need to open holes in the insulating strip or replace it with an intermittently set insulating block. During assembly, it is only necessary to place the entire second insulating strip 22 at the end of the third battery cell 13A close to the fourth battery cell 14A, which effectively reduces the production precision requirements and production difficulty, and can avoid short circuits caused by position offset when opening holes in the insulating strip or position offset when laminating the insulating blocks, thereby increasing product yield. At the same time, the second insulating strip 22 of the utility model is provided with an extension section 221. On the one hand, it allows the second insulating strip 22 to be offset to a certain extent in the width direction relative to the middle bus bar 32 and the second insulating strip 22 relative to the two battery cells during the preparation process, reducing the production precision requirements and production difficulty. On the other hand, the second insulating strip 22 can cover the edges of the third battery cell 13 and the fourth battery cell 14, thereby not only avoiding the middle bus bar 32 and the heterogeneous welding strip / heterogeneous grid line on the fourth battery cell 14 from contacting and causing a short circuit, but also avoiding the second welding strip 42 and the heterogeneous welding strip / heterogeneous grid line on the third battery cell 13 from contacting and causing a short circuit, further reducing the risk of short circuit and improving the reliability of the battery assembly. Especially when the battery cell is cut into half pieces, the cutting edge is very likely to cause a short circuit after cutting. The setting of the extension section 221 of the utility model can effectively avoid the short circuit easily caused by the cutting edge, so that the cutting edge of the battery half is set on the side where the middle bus bar 32 is located on the battery cell or on the side of the adjacent battery cell close to the middle bus bar 32, which can also ensure the reliability of the battery assembly.

[0174] Furthermore, when the bus bar is set at the outer edge of the last battery cell in the battery string, that is, when the fourth battery cell 14A is away from one end of the third battery cell 13A, the stress at the outer edge of the last battery cell in the battery string is relatively large when it is laminated, which can easily cause defects such as fragments. At the same time, the installation of the bus bar will affect the welding between the second welding ribbon 42 and the fourth battery cell 14A. The second welding ribbon 42 cannot be welded to the fourth battery cell 14A at the position covered by the bus bar, resulting in insufficient welding between the second welding ribbon 42 and the fourth battery cell 14A and poor current collection. This situation is particularly serious when the battery module is a battery module without a main grid back contact.

[0175] In contrast, the built-in structure of the intermediate bus bar of the present invention can be applied to both main-grid back-contact battery assemblies and non-main-grid back-contact battery assemblies, and is more versatile. Moreover, on the one hand, the end of the third battery cell 13A close to the fourth battery cell 14A is less stressed during lamination than the outer edge of the last battery cell in the battery string, thereby further reducing the risk of hidden cracks and fragments in the battery cells and improving the reliability of the back-contact battery assembly.

[0176] In one embodiment, see Figure 9 As shown, in the battery string provided with the second insulating strip 22, the fourth battery cell 14 and the third battery cell 13 are provided on the same plane.

[0177] In the first direction, the width of the portion of the extending section 221 extending from the third battery cell 14 is greater than the distance between the fourth battery cell 14 and the third battery cell 13 .

[0178] As a result, the extension section 221 can reserve sufficient width, allowing the second insulating strip 22 to be offset to a certain extent in the width direction relative to the middle bus bar 32 and the second insulating strip 22 relative to the two battery cells during the preparation process, reducing the production precision requirements and production difficulty. On the other hand, the extension section 221 can extend to cover the edge area of ​​the fourth battery cell 14A and the edge area of ​​the third battery cell 13A, which can avoid the middle bus bar 32 and the heterogeneous welding strip / heterogeneous grid line on the fourth battery cell 14A from contacting and causing a short circuit, and can also avoid the second welding strip 42 and the heterogeneous welding strip / heterogeneous grid line on the third battery cell 13A from contacting and causing a short circuit, further reducing the risk of short circuit and improving the reliability of the battery assembly.

[0179] In one embodiment, see Figure 9 As shown, in the first direction, the width of the extension section 221 is:

[0180] 1mm≤L3≤l 31 +l 32 +l 33 ,

[0181] Wherein, L3 is the width of the extension section 221 in the first direction, l 31 is the distance between the fourth cell 14 and the third cell 13 in the cell string provided with the second insulating strip 22, l 32 The relative width distance from the edge of the fourth battery cell 14 close to one end of the third battery cell 13 to the second welding point 62 in the battery string provided with the second insulating strip 22 is, l 33 It is the relative width distance between the edge of the middle bus bar 32 close to the fourth battery cell 14 and the edge of the third battery cell 13 close to the fourth battery cell 14 in the battery string provided with the second insulating strip 22 .

[0182] Understandable,31 +l 33 >1mm,l 31 <1mm, therefore, controlling L3≥1mm can ensure that the extension section 221 can extend to cover the edge area of ​​the fourth battery cell 14A and the edge area of ​​the third battery cell 13A, while reserving sufficient offset space for the horizontal tolerance of the equipment placement in the preparation process and the lamination offset tolerance of the bus bar lead-out hole position, thereby allowing the second insulating strip 22 to have a small offset in the width direction relative to the middle bus bar 32 and the second insulating strip 22 relative to the two battery cells.

[0183] When the width of the extension section 221 is too small, the risk of short circuit increases and the reliability of the battery assembly decreases. As the width of the extension section 221 increases, the reliability of the battery assembly increases. The displacement deviation of the second insulating strip 22 relative to the middle bus bar 32 and the second insulating strip 22 relative to the two battery cells in the width direction allowed during the preparation process increases, and the production accuracy requirement decreases. However, when the width of the extension section 221 is too large, it will affect the sufficient welding between the second welding strip 42 and the effective welding position on the fourth battery cell 14A, the current collection effect will decrease, and it will affect the bifaciality of the battery assembly. It can be understood that the second welding point 62 is located at the effective welding position of the fourth battery cell 14A, which is closest to the edge of the third battery cell 13A (that is, the edgemost connection point of the second welding strip 42 on the fourth battery cell 14A). The second welding point 62 can be a grid line or a pad. In the present utility model, by controlling 1mm≤L3≤l 31 +l 32 +l 33 On the basis of allowing the offset error in the preparation process, it can still ensure that the extended section 221 of the second insulating strip 22 can extend to cover the edge area of ​​the fourth battery cell 14A and the edge area of ​​the third battery cell 13A, further improving the reliability and production yield of the battery assembly. At the same time, it will not cause unnecessary waste of materials and can avoid affecting the sufficient welding of the second welding ribbon 42.

[0184] In one embodiment, in the first direction, the width of the extension section 221 is:

[0185] 1mm≤L3≤l 31 +l 33 +4mm,

[0186] Wherein, L3 is the width of the extension section 221 in the first direction, l 31 is the distance between the fourth cell 14 and the third cell 13 in the cell string provided with the second insulating strip 22, l 33 It is the relative width distance between the edge of the middle bus bar 32 close to the fourth battery cell 14 and the edge of the third battery cell 13 close to the fourth battery cell 14 in the battery string provided with the second insulating strip 22 .

[0187] Within this range, while allowing for offset errors in the preparation process, it is possible to ensure that the extended section 221 of the second insulating strip 22 can extend to cover the edge area of ​​the fourth battery cell 14A and the edge area of ​​the third battery cell 13A, further improving the reliability and production yield of the battery assembly. At the same time, it will not cause unnecessary waste of materials. Even if the first insulating strip 21 is offset during production and preparation, it can ensure that the sufficient welding of the second welding strip will not be affected, which can effectively reduce the production accuracy.

[0188] Those skilled in the art will clearly understand that, for the convenience and brevity of description, the structure and implementation principle of the back-contact battery described above can refer to the corresponding structure and implementation principle in the aforementioned embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here.

[0189] Example 4

[0190] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 3 is that, see Figures 11 to 13 As shown, in the battery string provided with the second insulating strip 22, the end of the third battery cell 13 close to the fourth battery cell 14 is at least partially stacked with the fourth battery cell 14.

[0191] In the first direction, the width of the extending section 221 is greater than the width of the stacking region between the third battery cell 13 and the fourth battery cell 14 .

[0192] That is, the third battery cell 13A and the fourth battery cell 14A are stacked, with no gap between the two cells.

[0193] In one embodiment, the side of the third cell 13A facing away from the second insulating strip 22 is at least partially stacked with the fourth cell 14A.

[0197] Wherein, L4 is the width of the extension section 221 in the first direction, l 41 is the width of the stacking area between the third battery cell 13 and the fourth battery cell 14, l 42is the relative width distance from the edge of the fourth battery cell 14 close to one end of the third battery cell 13 to the second welding point 62 in the battery string provided with the second insulating strip 22, l 43 It is the relative width distance between the edge of the middle bus bar 32 close to the fourth battery cell 14 and the edge of the third battery cell 13 close to the fourth battery cell 14 in the battery string provided with the second insulating strip 22 .

[0198] Understandable, 41 +l 43 >1mm,l 41 <1mm, therefore, controlling L4≥1mm can ensure that the extension section 221 can extend to cover the edge area of ​​the fourth battery cell 14A and the edge area of ​​the third battery cell 13A, while reserving sufficient offset space for the horizontal tolerance of the equipment placement in the preparation process and the lamination offset tolerance of the bus bar lead-out hole position, thereby allowing the second insulating strip 22 to have a small offset in the width direction relative to the middle bus bar 32 and the second insulating strip 22 relative to the two battery cells.

[0199] In one embodiment, see Figures 12 to 13 As shown, in the first direction, the width of the extension section 221 is:

[0200] 1mm≤L4≤l 43 -l 41 +4mm,

[0201] Wherein, L4 is the width of the extension section 221 in the first direction, l 41 is the width of the stacking area between the third battery cell 13 and the fourth battery cell 14, l 42 is the relative width distance from the edge of the fourth battery cell 14 close to one end of the third battery cell 13 to the second welding point 62 in the battery string provided with the second insulating strip 22, l 43 It is the relative width distance between the edge of the middle bus bar 32 close to the fourth battery cell 14 and the edge of the third battery cell 13 close to the fourth battery cell 14 in the battery string provided with the second insulating strip 22 .
