Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of lithium-ion battery equipment, and particularly to an integrated dual-channel valve and a battery cover plate equipped with the integrated dual-channel valve. Background Art

[0002] Currently, driven by existing policies and the market, the demand for lithium-ion power batteries is increasing day by day, and at the same time, higher requirements are put forward for the mass production efficiency of lithium-ion power batteries. In the current formation process, there is a liquid injection hole on the cover plate of the lithium-ion power battery. When the lithium-ion power battery needs to be filled with liquid, it is filled through the liquid injection hole. After the first liquid injection, the formation nail is used to block the liquid injection hole. If secondary liquid injection is required, the formation nail needs to be pulled out for liquid replenishment. After liquid replenishment, the formation nail is inserted again, and a charge and discharge cycle is carried out. After completion, the formation nail is pulled out to evacuate the inside of the battery cell, and finally, a sealing nail and a PIN nail are inserted to completely seal the liquid injection hole.

[0003] In this process, the formation nail needs to be inserted and pulled out multiple times, resulting in low production efficiency. The sealing reliability during the use of the formation nail cannot be well guaranteed, and after the formation nail is used, replacing it with a sealing nail requires another device for assembly, increasing the equipment cost.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a device to replace the formation nail and a battery cover plate equipped with the device to solve the technical problem of inserting and pulling out the formation nail multiple times in the formation process. Summary of the Invention

When the first external force is less than or equal to the first elastic force, the first valve core presses against the first substrate, the first coupling surface and the third coupling surface are coupled, and the first channel is closed.

[0009] In some embodiments, the first valve core is at least one of a frustum of a cone and a stepped cylinder.

[0032] The following description can significantly improve these and other features of the present disclosure, as well as the operations and functions of the related elements of the structure, and the economic efficiency of the combination and manufacturing of the components. All of these form a part of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings.

It should also be understood that the drawings are not drawn to scale.

[0033] Figure 1 is an assembly diagram of an integrated dual-channel valve 100 and a battery cover plate 200 in some embodiments of the present application; Figure 2It is a structural diagram of the integrated dual-channel valve 100 in some embodiments of the present application. The integrated dual-channel valve 100 can be applied in different scenarios. For example, the integrated dual-channel valve 100 can be installed on the lithium battery cover plate and configured as the liquid injection hole of the lithium battery. Specifically, the integrated dual-channel valve 100 can include a first one-way valve 300 and a second one-way valve 400.

[0034] The first one-way valve 300 and the second one-way valve 400 are integrally designed, and the first one-way valve 300 and the second one-way valve 400 are sleeved together. The first one-way valve 300 can be sleeved outside the second one-way valve 400, or the first one-way valve 300 can also be sleeved inside the second one-way valve 400. For the convenience of description, the present application will describe the present invention by taking the first one-way valve 300 sleeved outside the second one-way valve 400 as an example. In some embodiments, the second one-way valve 400 and the first one-way valve 300 are coaxially distributed. Of course, the second one-way valve 400 can also be non-coaxially distributed with the first one-way valve 300 without departing from the core spirit of the present invention.

[0035] In addition, the integrated dual-channel valve 100 can further include a bottom cover plate 500, and the bottom cover plate 500 is configured to connect the first one-way valve 300 and the second one-way valve 400. Under the condition of completing the function of the integrated dual channel, the bottom cover plate 500 can also be integrally designed with any one or more of the first one-way valve 300, the second one-way valve 400, or the battery cover plate 200, etc. The structure and function of the bottom cover plate 500 will be specifically introduced in other parts of the present invention.

[0036] Figure 3 It is a structural diagram of the first one-way valve 300 in some embodiments of the present invention. The first one-way valve 300 can include a first channel 310. The first channel 310 is configured to allow the first fluid to pass through in the first direction. The first fluid can be a liquid, or the first fluid can also be a gas, such as air, etc.; the first direction can be any direction along the first channel 310. For example, when the integrated dual-channel valve 100 is the liquid injection hole of the battery and the first fluid is air, a vacuum pump can be used to pump air outside the battery cover plate 200, and the first fluid moves along the direction from inside the battery to outside the battery. At this time, the first channel 310 becomes the air extraction channel.

[0037] In some embodiments, the first one-way valve 300 can include a first valve core 320, a first substrate 330, and a first elastic member 340.

[0038] The first substrate 330 can include a through hole 333; the first valve core passes through the through hole 333. The first substrate 330 can be an independent part. For example, in Figure 3 the first substrate 330 is a valve core positioning ring. The first substrate 330 can also be a feature of other parts. For example, in Figure 7Among them, the first substrate 330 is a stepped platform on the battery cover plate 200 that plays a positioning and / or supporting role.

[0039] The first valve core 320 may include a first coupling surface 321 and a second coupling surface 322; the first substrate 330 may include a third coupling surface 331 and a fourth coupling surface 332. The first coupling surface 321 and the third coupling surface 331 are coupled. In some embodiments, the first valve core 320 is at least one of a truncated cone and a cylindrical stepped platform. For example, in Figure 3 Among them, the first valve core 320 is a truncated cone, and the first coupling surface 321 is the conical surface of the truncated cone; correspondingly, the third coupling surface 331 of the first substrate 330 that is coupled to the first coupling surface 321 is also a conical surface. Another example is in Figure 7 Among them, the first valve core 320 is a cylindrical stepped platform. At this time, the first coupling surface 321 is a plane of the cylindrical stepped platform; correspondingly, the third coupling surface 331 of the first substrate 330 that is coupled to the first coupling surface 321 is also a plane. Of course, the first valve core 320 can also be other similar structures.

[0040] The first end of the first elastic member 340 abuts against the second coupling surface 322; the second end of the first elastic member 340 abuts against the fourth coupling surface 332. The first elastic member 340 is sandwiched between the second coupling surface 322 and the fourth coupling surface 332 in a compressed state, thus generating a first elastic force. The direction of the first elastic force is the direction that pushes the second coupling surface 322 away from the fourth coupling surface 332, that is, Figure 3 The opposite direction of the first direction F in

[0041] That is, the first direction F is the direction that makes the first elastic force increase. Therefore, when there is no other external force acting, due to the action of the first elastic force, the first coupling surface 321 and the third coupling surface 331 are in a pressed state. Figure 3

[0042] The first elastic member 340 is configured to drive a first channel 310 to be formed between the first valve core 320 and the first substrate 330 under the action of an external force. The first elastic member 340 may be a spring, and the first elastic member 340 may also be other elastic members, etc. The first elastic force may be a tensile force or a compressive force. For example, in Figure 3 Among them, the first elastic member 340 is a spring, and the first elastic force is the compressive force of the spring. When a first external force is applied to the first valve core 320 along the first direction, when the first external force is greater than the first elastic force, the first valve core 320 moves along the first direction, and the first coupling surface 321 and the third coupling surface 331 are decoupled, opening the first channel 310. When the first external force is less than or equal to the first elastic force, the first valve core 320 presses against the first substrate 330, the first coupling surface 321 and the third coupling surface 331 are coupled, and the first channel 310 is closed.

[0042] Figure 4 It is a structural diagram of the second one-way valve 400 in some embodiments of the present invention. The second one-way valve 400 may include a second channel 410. The second channel 410 is configured to allow a second fluid to pass through in a second direction. The second fluid may be a liquid, and the second liquid may also be a gas; the second direction, that is, the direction in which the second fluid passes through the second channel 410, can be arbitrary. The second direction may be the same as the first direction, or the second direction may be different from the first direction. The second fluid and the first fluid may be different fluids. For example, the first fluid is air and the second fluid is electrolyte. The first fluid and the second fluid may also be the same. For example, both the first fluid and the second fluid are water.

[0043] In some embodiments, the second one-way valve 400 may include a second valve core 420, a second base plate 430, and a second elastic member 440.

[0044] The second base plate 430 may be an integral body connected by different parts. For example, in Figure 4 it is an integral body connected by a bottom cover plate 500 and a first valve core 320. The second base plate 430 may also be integrally designed with one or more of the first one-way valve 300 or the battery cover plate 200. For example, in Figure 7 the second base plate 430 and the first valve core 320 are integrally designed, and the second base plate 430 is also the first valve core 320 itself. Of course, the second base plate 430 may also be an independent part, and is coupled with other parts through threaded connection, interference fit, welding, etc.

[0045] The second valve core 420 may include a fifth coupling surface 421 and a sixth coupling surface 422, and the second base plate 430 may include a seventh coupling surface 431 and an eighth coupling surface 432. The fifth coupling surface 421 and the seventh coupling surface 431 are coupled. In some embodiments, the second valve core 420 is at least one of a frustum of a cone and a cylindrical stepped platform. For example, in Figure 4 the second valve core 420 is a frustum of a cone, and the fifth coupling surface 421 is the conical surface of the frustum of the cone; correspondingly, the seventh coupling surface 431 of the second base plate 430 that is coupled with the fifth coupling surface 421 is also a conical surface. Also, for example, in Figure 7 the second valve core 420 is a cylindrical stepped platform. At this time, the fifth coupling surface 421 is a plane of the cylindrical stepped platform; correspondingly, the seventh coupling surface 431 of the second base plate 430 that is coupled with the fifth coupling surface 421 is also a plane. Of course, the second valve core 420 may also be other similar structures.

[0046] The first end of the second elastic member 440 abuts against the sixth coupling surface 422; the second end of the second elastic member 440 abuts against the eighth coupling surface 432. The second elastic member 440 is sandwiched between the sixth coupling surface 422 and the eighth coupling surface 432 in a compressed state, thus generating a second elastic force. The direction of the second elastic force is the direction of pushing the sixth coupling surface 422 away from the eighth coupling surface 432, that is Figure 4 the opposite direction of the second direction F in

[0047] and the second direction F is the direction in which the second elastic force increases. Therefore, when there is no other external force acting, due to the action of the second elastic force, the fifth coupling surface and the seventh coupling surface are in a pressed state. Figure 4 The second elastic member 440 is configured to drive a second channel 410 to be formed between the second spool 420 and the second substrate 430 under the action of an external force. The second elastic member 440 may be a spring, or the second elastic member 440 may be other elastic members, etc. The second elastic force may be a tensile force or a compressive force. For example, in

[0048] some embodiments, the stiffness of the first elastic member 340 is greater than the stiffness of the second elastic member 440. For example, in Figure 5Among them, the first elastic member 340 and the second elastic member 440 are both springs. The first substrate 330 is a valve core positioning ring fixedly connected to the battery cover plate 200. The first valve core 320 and the bottom cover plate 500 are fixedly connected to form the second substrate 430. When a second external force is applied to the second valve core 420 and the second external force is greater than the second elastic force and less than the first elastic force, the second elastic member 440 elastically deforms and increases, the first elastic member 340 does not elastically deform and increase, the second channel 410 is opened, and at the same time the first channel 310 is closed. Of course, in some embodiments, the stiffness of the first elastic member 340 may also be less than or equal to the stiffness of the second elastic member 440. For example, when the first elastic member 340 and the second elastic member 440 are both springs, the first substrate 330 and the second substrate 430 are respectively two stepped platforms on the battery cover plate 200. The stiffness of the first elastic member 340 may be less than the stiffness of the second elastic member 440, and the stiffness of the first elastic member 340 may also be equal to the stiffness of the second elastic member 440. Of course, at this time, the stiffness of the first elastic member 340 may also be greater than the stiffness of the second elastic member 440, and so on.

[0049] In some embodiments, the first one-way valve 300 may further include a first sealing member 360, and the second one-way valve 400 may further include a second sealing member 460.

[0050] The first sealing member 360 may be designed to enhance the sealing effect after the first channel 310 is closed. The first sealing member 360 may be an O-ring, as Figure 5 shown; the first sealing member 360 may also be a sealing coating applied to the surface of the first valve core 320 and / or the first substrate 330, and so on.

[0051] The second sealing member 460 may be designed to enhance the sealing effect after the second channel 410 is closed. The second sealing member 460 may be an O-ring; the second sealing member 460 may also be a sealing coating applied to the surface of the second valve core 420 or the second substrate 430; the second sealing member 460 may also be the second valve core 420 or the second substrate 430 itself. For example, in Figure 5 , the second valve core 420 is a synthetic part of injection molding and metal. The upper umbrella-shaped structure uses a plastic material, which can provide better sealing performance. The lower part uses a metal material to cooperate with the second elastic member 440 and is not easy to wear, and so on.

[0052] In some embodiments, the bottom cover plate 500 may include at least one through hole 510, and the through hole 510 is configured to ensure the penetration of the second channel 410. The cross-section of the through hole 510 may be any shape. For example, in Figure 6 , the cross-sectional shape of the through hole 510 is an arc waist shape.

[0053] In some embodiments, the bottom cover plate 500 may further include a groove 520. An assembly tool is inserted into the groove 520 to rotationally drive the first one-way valve 300 and the second one-way valve 400 to be connected together, facilitating the operation. The groove 520 may be a slotted groove, such as Figure 6 as shown; the groove 520 may also be a cross groove, and so on.

[0054] Figure 1 Meanwhile, the battery cover plate 200 in some embodiments of the present application is shown. The above-mentioned integrated dual-channel valve 100 is fixed on the battery cover plate 200. The fixing method may be threaded connection, welding, gluing, interference fit, and so on.

[0055] In some embodiments, the battery cover plate 200 and the first substrate 330 are coupled together. For example, in Figure 5 , the battery cover plate 200 includes a stepped step for positioning, and the first substrate 330 abuts against the stepped step and then is firmly welded. Also for example, in Figure 7 , the battery cover plate 200 and the first substrate 330 are integrally designed, and so on.
