TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of energy storage, and in particular, to a battery pack and a battery cabinet. BACKGROUND
[0002] The battery pack includes a battery module and an integrated busbar. The integrated busbar can also be referred to as a cells contact system (CCS).
[0003] In the related art, the integrated busbar includes a connection busbar and a sampling plate, and the connection busbar and the sampling plate are pressed together by a hot stamping film. The connection busbar connects the cells in the battery module in series or in parallel. The sampling plate is electrically connected to the connection busbar, and is used to collect the temperature of the connection busbar and send the collected temperature to a battery management unit (BMU).
[0004] However, the temperature of the connection busbar obtained by the battery management unit does not accurately represent the temperature of the cells, which is not conducive to the temperature control protection of the cells by the battery management unit, and reduces the safety of the battery pack. In addition, when the cells are in thermal runaway, a large amount of smoke will be sprayed out. If the smoke spreads randomly, it will corrode the connection busbar and the sampling plate, and will further worsen the thermal runaway phenomenon of the battery pack, which also reduces the safety of the battery pack. SUMMARY
[0005] The present disclosure provides a battery pack and a battery cabinet. The plurality of temperature sensors of the integrated busbar of the battery pack can be in contact with the plurality of cells of the battery module, and can directly collect the temperature of the cells. Moreover, a flue for the smoke sprayed out by the explosion-proof valve of the cells to flow is formed between the integrated busbar and the battery module. The technical solutions of the battery pack and the battery cabinet are described as follows.
[0006] In a first aspect, the present disclosure provides a battery pack. The battery pack comprises a housing, a battery module and an integrated busbar. The battery module and the integrated busbar are located in the interior of the housing. The battery module comprises at least one column of battery cells, each column of battery cells comprising a plurality of battery cells. The integrated busbar comprises an insulating support, a connecting busbar and a sampling board. The insulating support is arranged on the battery module in the opening direction of the explosion-proof valve of the battery cell, and the sampling board and the connecting busbar are arranged on the insulating support. The connecting busbar is used to electrically connect the at least one column of battery cells. The insulating support comprises a flue comprising a groove bottom and two first side walls, the flue is buckled on the column of battery cells, the groove bottom of the flue faces the explosion-proof valve of the column of battery cells, and the two first side walls of the flue are located on both sides of the explosion-proof valve of the column of battery cells. The groove bottom of the flue is provided with openings of a plurality of channels. The side walls of the plurality of channels extend in the opening direction of the explosion-proof valve, one end of the side walls of the plurality of channels communicates with the openings, and the other end of the side walls of the plurality of channels is connected to the battery cells. The temperature sensor electrically connected to the sampling board contacts the battery cells through the channels. The position of the channel is staggered with the explosion-proof valve, and the side walls of the plurality of channels separate the temperature sensor and the explosion-proof valve.
[0007] The battery pack provided by the present disclosure is applied to application scenarios such as data centers, site energy, industrial and commercial energy storage or power station energy storage. The insulating support can be made of high-temperature-resistant plastic material, and the high-temperature resistance of the insulating support is better than that of the hot-pressing film, so that in the early stage of thermal runaway of the battery module, the sampling board will not be melted and damaged under the heat insulation effect of the insulating support. Two connecting busbars are electrically connected to two columns of pole columns of the battery module to realize series connection or parallel connection of a plurality of battery cells. The circuit board of the sampling board is a flexible printed circuit (FPC) or a printed circuit board (PCB). The opening direction of the explosion-proof valve of the battery cell is from low to high.
[0008] The technical scheme provided by the present disclosure is characterized in that: the smoke emitted by the explosion-proof valve of the battery cell flows into the flue, and under the blocking effect of the two side walls of the flue, the smoke cannot flow to the two sides of the flue, thereby reducing the risk of short circuit of the battery module and further reducing the possibility of further deterioration of thermal runaway of the battery pack. In addition, one end of the side wall of the plurality of channels is connected to the opening of the groove bottom of the flue, and the other end of the side wall is connected to the battery cell. On the one hand, the temperature sensor can pass through the channel and directly contact the battery cell. In this way, the temperature collected by the temperature sensor is the temperature of the battery cell, so that the temperature obtained by the battery management unit (BMU) is the temperature of the battery cell, which is beneficial to the temperature control protection of the battery cell by the battery management unit and improves the safety of the battery pack. On the other hand, the inside of the channel is separated from the inside of the flue, so that the smoke emitted by the explosion-proof valve of the battery cell cannot enter the channel, and the smoke emitted by the explosion-proof valve of the battery cell cannot be directly emitted to the side of the integrated busbar away from the battery module. In this way, the smoke cannot corrode the sampling plate and the connecting bus, thereby reducing the failure risk of the sampling plate and the short circuit risk of the battery module, and further reducing the possibility of further deterioration of thermal runaway of the battery pack.
[0009] In an implementation manner, the side wall of the plurality of channels, the side wall of the flue and the top wall of the battery cell form a containing cavity, and the temperature sensor is located in the containing cavity. The side wall of the plurality of channels forms an incomplete ring, and the gap of the ring is closed by the side wall of the flue, so that the inside of the channel is separated from the inside of the flue.
[0010] In an implementation manner, the side wall of the plurality of channels and the top wall of the battery cell form a containing cavity, and the temperature sensor is located in the containing cavity. The side wall of the plurality of channels forms a complete ring, and the side wall of the plurality of channels separates the inside of the channel from the inside of the flue.
[0011] In an implementation manner, the temperature sensor is located between the connecting bus and the explosion-proof valve of the battery cell, and the height of the side wall of the channel is higher than the explosion-proof valve of the battery cell and the temperature sensor.
[0012] In an implementation, the insulation support includes a main plate. The main plate includes two busbar fixing portions and a sampling plate fixing portion between the two busbar fixing portions. The two busbar fixing portions are respectively used for fixing the busbars. The sampling plate fixing portion is used for fixing the sampling plate, and the flue and the channel are arranged in the sampling plate fixing portion. The insulation support includes a first side plate connected to one end of the sampling plate fixing portion, the first side plate extends along the height direction of the battery module, and a gap is formed between the first side plate and the side wall of the battery module, and the gap is communicated with the flue. In this way, the flue gas in the flue can flow out through the gap and flow into the inside of the shell. Wherein, the first side plate is arranged in a spaced manner with the bottom wall of the shell, so that the flue gas in the gap can flow out smoothly.
[0013] In an implementation, the battery pack further includes a battery pack explosion-proof valve arranged in the shell wall opposite to the first side plate.
[0014] In this way, when the amount of flue gas discharged by the flue is too large to cause the pressure in the shell to be too large, the battery pack explosion-proof valve is opened to reduce the possibility of explosion of the battery pack. And since the shell wall where the battery pack explosion-proof valve is arranged is opposite to the first side plate, when the battery pack explosion-proof valve is opened, the flue gas flowing out from the gap can be discharged from the battery pack explosion-proof valve more quickly, improving the exhaust efficiency of the flue gas.
[0015] In an implementation, the height of the battery pack explosion-proof valve is lower than the height of the bottom end of the first side plate. In this way, it is beneficial for the first side plate to guide the flue gas to the battery pack explosion-proof valve.
[0016] In an implementation, the groove bottom of the flue includes a plurality of first grooves, and the plurality of first grooves are respectively arranged opposite to a plurality of cell explosion-proof valves of the battery module. Wherein, the groove bottom thickness of the first groove is smaller than the thickness of the groove bottom of the flue. The first groove is used to thin the insulation support to weaken the strength of the part where the first groove is located. In this way, in the late stage of thermal runaway, when the flue gas sprayed by the cell explosion-proof valve is too much and the temperature is too high, the flue gas sprayed by the cell explosion-proof valve can break through the part of the sampling plate fixing portion where the first groove is located. It is beneficial for the flue gas sprayed by the cell explosion-proof valve to quickly spread in the inside of the shell, reducing the possibility of explosion of the battery pack.
[0017] In an implementation, each busbar includes two second grooves. The groove bottoms of the two second grooves each have a positioning through hole, and the two positioning through holes are respectively opposite to two pole columns connected with the busbar. Wherein, the positioning through hole is used to position the relative position relationship between the busbar and the pole column during the welding process of the busbar and the pole column. Each busbar is used for electrically connecting with the pole columns of two cells to connect the two cells in series or parallel.
[0018] The technical scheme provided by the present disclosure has the following beneficial effects. On the one hand, the two second grooves are arranged at positions corresponding to the two pole columns of the connecting row, so that the thickness of the part of the connecting row used for welding with the pole columns is reduced, thereby improving the reliability of the welding of the connecting row with the two pole columns. On the other hand, the thickness of the part of the connecting row between the two second grooves is not reduced, so that the connecting row can still bear a large current.
[0019] In an implementation manner, the side of the connecting row fixing portion facing away from the battery module comprises a plurality of accommodating grooves. The groove bottom of the accommodating groove has two openings, and the two pole columns of the battery module pass through the two openings respectively. Each connecting row is located in an accommodating groove.
[0020] The technical scheme provided by the present disclosure has the following beneficial effects. On the one hand, the two second grooves are arranged at positions corresponding to the two pole columns of the connecting row, so that the thickness of the part of the connecting row used for welding with the pole columns is reduced, thereby improving the reliability of the welding of the connecting row with the two pole columns. On the other hand, the thickness of the part of the connecting row between the two second grooves is not reduced, so that the connecting row can still bear a large current.
[0021] In an implementation manner, the side of the connecting row fixing portion facing away from the battery module comprises a plurality of accommodating grooves. The groove bottom of the accommodating groove has two openings, and the two pole columns of the battery module pass through the two openings respectively. Each connecting row is located in an accommodating groove.
[0022] In an implementation manner, the height of the side wall of the accommodating groove is higher than the height of the connecting row.
[0023] The technical scheme provided by the present disclosure has the following beneficial effects. On the one hand, the two second grooves are arranged at positions corresponding to the two pole columns of the connecting row, so that the thickness of the part of the connecting row used for welding with the pole columns is reduced, thereby improving the reliability of the welding of the connecting row with the two pole columns. On the other hand, the thickness of the part of the connecting row between the two second grooves is not reduced, so that the connecting row can still bear a large current.
[0024] In an implementation manner, the side of the connecting row fixing portion facing away from the battery module comprises a plurality of accommodating grooves. The groove bottom of the accommodating groove has two openings, and the two pole columns of the battery module pass through the two openings respectively. Each connecting row is located in an accommodating groove.
[0025] In an implementation manner, the insulating support further comprises a third side plate. The third side plate is connected to one side of the main body plate and located between the first side plate and the second side plate. The first side plate is provided with a first limiting groove, and the third side plate is provided with a second limiting groove. The first pole output row comprises a first segment, a second segment and a third segment connected in sequence, the first segment extends into the first limiting groove, the second segment extends into the second limiting groove, and the third segment is fixed to the second side plate. The first limiting groove and the second limiting groove are provided, on the one hand, so that the first side plate and the third side plate can separate the first pole output row from the side wall of the battery module, thereby avoiding the first pole output row and the second pole output row from igniting due to arc between the battery module. On the other hand, the first side plate and the third side plate also separate the first pole output row from the shell, thereby reducing the risk of electric shock.
[0026] In an implementation manner, the integrated busbar further comprises at least one insulating sleeve. The insulating sleeve surrounds the first pole output row and / or the second pole output row. The material of the insulating sleeve comprises a ceramic composite material.
[0027] The technical solution provided by the present disclosure is that the insulating sleeve surrounds the first pole output row and / or the second pole output row, so that the insulating sleeve separates the first pole output row and the second pole output row from the battery module, thereby avoiding the first pole output row and the second pole output row from igniting due to arc between the battery module. At the same time, the insulating sleeve also separates the first pole output row and the second pole output row from the shell, thereby avoiding the risk of electric shock.
[0028] In an implementation manner, the integrated busbar further comprises a fuse, and the fuse is connected in series with the first pole output row or the second pole output row. The fuse is fixed to the side of the second side plate away from the battery module. In this way, when the battery module is short-circuited and the current of the first pole output row and the second pole output row is too large, the fuse will be blown, thereby achieving short-circuit protection.
[0029] In an implementation manner, the circuit board comprises a first plate body and a second plate body. The first plate body is fixed to the sampling plate fixing portion, and the second plate body is bent relative to the first plate body, and a part of the second plate body is fixed to the second side plate. The sampling plate further comprises a data output connector, and the data output connector is fixed to the end of the second plate body away from the first plate body. The data output connector is used to be connected with the battery management unit, so that the information collected by the sampling plate can be output to the battery management unit, and the battery management unit can manage the battery cells in the battery pack based on the received information.
[0030] In an implementation manner, the sampling plate further comprises an OT terminal connector, and the OT terminal connector is fixed to the second plate body and electrically connected with the data output connector. The integrated busbar further comprises at least one OT terminal. The OT terminal is arranged on the first pole output row and / or the second pole output row, and the OT terminal is electrically connected with the OT terminal connector.
[0031] The OT terminal includes an OT temperature acquisition terminal and an OT pressure acquisition terminal. The OT temperature acquisition terminal is configured to acquire the temperature of the first pole output row and / or the second pole output row, and the OT pressure acquisition terminal is configured to acquire the voltage of the first pole output row and / or the second pole output row. The information acquired by the OT terminal can be transmitted to the data output connector via the OT terminal connector, and then transmitted to the battery management unit via the data transmission connector.
[0032] In an implementation, the shell includes a bottom shell, a top cover, and an end cover assembly. The bottom shell or the top cover is provided with a port opposite the second side plate, and the end cover assembly seals the port. The end cover assembly includes a receiving cavity, and the battery pack further includes a battery management unit located in the receiving cavity and electrically connected. Since the battery management unit is arranged in the receiving cavity of the end cover assembly, the battery management unit and the battery module are separated by the end cover assembly, reducing the possibility of sparks generated by the battery management unit being transmitted to the battery module.
[0033] In an implementation, the end cover assembly includes a first end plate, a cover plate, and a partition plate. The first end plate is located at the port and is provided with a connector through hole for the data output connector to pass through. The cover plate is fixedly connected with the first end plate, and the cover plate and the first end plate enclose a receiving cavity. The partition plate is located in the receiving cavity and seals a part of the connector through hole. A gap is formed between the partition plate and the hole wall of the connector through hole. The second plate body passes through the gap. The battery management unit is fixed to the side of the partition plate away from the first end plate.
[0034] The technical solution provided by the present disclosure allows the data output connector to extend to the other side of the first end plate through the connector through hole, ensuring the normal docking of the data output connector and the battery management unit. By sealing a part of the connector through hole with the partition plate and only leaving a gap for the second plate body to pass through, and arranging the battery management unit on the side of the partition plate away from the first end plate, the battery management unit and the battery module are almost completely separated by the first end plate and the partition plate, reducing the possibility of sparks generated by the battery management unit being transmitted to the battery module.
[0035] In an implementation, the integrated busbar further includes a first insulating sheet attached to the side of the second side plate facing the battery module.
[0036] The first insulating sheet includes a ceramic composite material, which can be referred to as a first ceramic composite strip. The first insulating sheet can separate the battery module from other electrical components (such as fuses and connectors) to prevent sparks generated by other electrical components from being transmitted to the battery module.
[0037] In a second aspect, the present disclosure provides a battery cabinet. The battery cabinet comprises a cabinet body and a plurality of battery packs according to any one of the first aspect. The plurality of battery packs are electrically connected and located in the interior of the cabinet body. Wherein, the plurality of battery packs are connected in series or in parallel. The battery pack comprises a battery pack explosion-proof valve, and the battery pack explosion-proof valves of the plurality of battery packs are all in communication with a cabinet body flue of the cabinet body. In this way, the flue gas discharged by the battery pack explosion-proof valve is discharged through the cabinet body flue, avoiding the flue gas sprayed after the battery pack explosion-proof valve explodes from polluting the environment.

[0091] Generally speaking, in order to increase the capacity of the battery pack, a plurality of battery cells connected in series or in parallel are included in the battery pack. And in order to detect the working state, state of charge, thermal runaway risk and thermal management demand of the battery cell in real time, the temperature of the battery cell needs to be detected in real time. By monitoring the temperature of the battery in real time, potential risks such as overheating or overcooling of the battery can be effectively prevented, thereby improving the service life and safety of the battery, and therefore the temperature sampling accuracy is crucial for the efficient and safe use of the battery.
[0092] In the related art, a battery pack includes a shell, a battery module and an integrated busbar, which can also be referred to as a cells contact system (CCS). The integrated busbar includes a connection bar and a sampling plate, which are pressed together by a hot stamping film. The connection bar is welded with the pole of a cell in the battery module to realize the series or parallel connection of the cells in the battery module. A temperature sensor (such as a thermistor) is arranged on the connection bar, and the sampling plate is electrically connected with the temperature sensor on the connection bar. The sampling plate can collect the temperature of the connection bar through the temperature sensor and send the temperature of the connection bar as the temperature of the cell to a battery management unit (BMU).
[0093] However, the temperature of the connection bar is not equal to the temperature of the cell, and after the temperature of the cell rises, the heat needs a certain time to conduct to the connection bar, which makes the temperature obtained by the battery management unit inaccurate and not timely. This is not conducive to the temperature control protection of the battery management unit on the cell, and reduces the safety of the battery pack.
[0094] In addition, an anti-explosion valve is arranged on the cell, and when the cell has a thermal runaway phenomenon, the anti-explosion valve will spray out high-temperature and corrosive smoke. The smoke will corrode the connection bar and the sampling plate, which may further worsen the thermal runaway phenomenon of the cell and reduce the safety of the battery pack.
[0095] In view of the above technical problems, the present embodiment provides a new battery pack 001. The battery pack 001 provided by the present embodiment can be applied to application scenarios such as data centers, site energy, industrial and commercial energy storage and power station energy storage. For example, the battery pack 001 is applied to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in a data center.
[0096] Figure 1 And Figure 2 An external view of the battery pack 001 is shown. Figure 3 An exploded view of the battery pack 001 is shown. As Figures 1-3 shown, the battery pack 001 includes a shell 01, a battery module 02 and an integrated busbar 03. The battery module 02 and the integrated busbar 03 are located inside the shell 01.
[0097] Figure 4 A schematic view of the battery module 02 and the integrated busbar 03 is shown. As Figure 4As shown, the battery module 02 includes at least one column of battery cells 021, and each column of battery cells 021 includes a plurality of battery cells 021. Each battery cell 021 includes two polar posts 0211 (positive and negative polar posts), and the polar posts 0211 of each column of battery cells 021 are arranged in two columns. An explosion-proof valve 0212 is arranged between the two polar posts 0211 of each battery cell 021. The explosion-proof valve 0212 is used to release pressure when the battery cell 021 is in thermal runaway, so as to prevent the battery cell 021 from exploding. In order to enable smoke in the battery cell 021 to rush out through the explosion-proof valve 0212 when the pressure in the battery cell 021 is too high, the explosion-proof valve 0212 has relatively low structural strength.
[0098] Figure 5 An exploded view of the integrated busbar 03 is shown, as Figure 5 and Figure 4 As shown, the integrated busbar 03 includes an insulating support 1, two groups of connection busbars 2, and a sampling plate 3. The insulating support 1 can be made of a high-temperature-resistant plastic material. Compared with the heat-pressed film in the related art, the insulating support 1 has better high-temperature resistance, so that, in the early stage of thermal runaway of the battery module 02, the sampling plate 3 on the insulating support 1 will not be melted and damaged under the heat insulation of the insulating support 1. The insulating support 1 includes a main plate 10, and the main plate 10 includes two connection busbar fixing portions 11 and a sampling plate fixing portion 12 located between the two connection busbar fixing portions 11. The two groups of connection busbars 2 are fixed to the two connection busbar fixing portions 11, respectively, and are connected (such as welded) to the two columns of polar posts 0211 of the battery module 02, so as to connect the plurality of battery cells 021 of the battery module 02 in series or in parallel.
[0099] Figure 6 A partial enlarged view of the portion framed by the frame A in Figure 5 is shown. As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 The side of the connection busbar fixing portion 11 away from the battery module 02 includes a plurality of accommodating grooves 111, and the groove bottom of each accommodating groove 111 is provided with two openings 112 for the two polar posts 0211 connected by the connection busbar 2 to pass through. Each connection busbar 2 is limited in one accommodating groove 111.
[0100] The technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is that the accommodating grooves 111 are arranged on the side of the connection busbar fixing portion 11 away from the battery module 02. On the one hand, this facilitates the fixation of the connection busbar 2. On the other hand, the groove opening of the accommodating groove 111 faces the top cover 012 of the shell 01, and most of the area of the connection busbar 2 faces the top cover 012, which is beneficial to the conduction of heat of the connection busbar 2 to the top cover 012 and the dissipation of the heat through the top cover 012. It should be noted that, in the related art, in order to prevent conductive foreign matter, the side of the connection busbar 2 facing the top cover 012 is coated, which is not conducive to the heat dissipation of the connection busbar 2.
[0101] In some examples, asFigure 3 As shown, the battery pack 001 also includes multiple thermal pads 06. The thermal pads 06 are attached to the connector 2 and are used to conduct heat from the connector 2 to the top cover 012 of the housing 01.
[0102] In some examples, such as Figure 6 As shown, the two opposite side walls of the receiving groove 111 are provided with buckles 113. Figure 7 A schematic diagram of connecting row 2 is shown, as follows: Figure 7 As shown, the two opposite side walls of the connecting row 2 are provided with bayonets 23. Figure 8 A schematic diagram of integrated busbar 03 is shown. Figure 9 It shows Figure 8 A magnified view of the portion enclosed by box D in the image. (See image below.) Figure 9 As shown, the two clips 113 are located in the two bayonet slots 23 respectively. The snap-fit connection method facilitates the installation of the connecting strip 2.
[0103] In some examples, such as Figure 6 As shown, the dimension of the buckle 113 along the length of the connecting strip fixing part 11 is L1. (As shown...) Figure 7 As shown, the dimension of the bayonet 23 along the length of the connecting strip fixing part 11 is L2, where L1 is less than L2. Thus, as... Figure 9 As shown, there are gaps between the two side walls of the buckle 113 and the bayonet 23, and the connecting strip 2 can be offset in the length direction of the connecting strip fixing part 11. This makes it possible to adjust the position of the connecting strip 2 and the pole post 0211 to achieve a higher degree of alignment between the connecting strip 2 and the pole post 0211 during the welding process.
[0104] In some examples, such as Figure 6 As shown, the distance between the head of the latch 113 and the bottom of the receiving groove 111 is d1. Figure 7 As shown, the thickness of connecting strip 2 at bayonet 23 is d2, where d2 is less than d1. Figure 9 As shown, there is a gap between the head of the latch 113 and the bottom of the latch 23. This allows the connecting strip 2 to shift in the thickness direction of the connecting strip fixing part 11. This facilitates adjusting the orientation of the connecting strip 2 during the welding process to the pole post 0211, thus improving the reliability of the welding.
[0105] In some examples, such as Figure 6 As shown, a positioning strip 115 is also provided in the receiving groove 111. (As indicated...) Figure 7 As shown, the side wall of the connecting row 2 is also provided with a positioning port 24, and the positioning strip 115 extends into the positioning port 24.
[0106] In some examples, such as Figure 9As shown, the height of the side wall 114 of the accommodating groove 111 is higher than the height of the connection row 2. In this way, when a conductive foreign matter (such as a screw) falls on the integrated busbar 03 and contacts the side wall 114, one end of the conductive foreign matter sinks and contacts the connection row 2 on one side of the side wall 114, and the other end of the conductive foreign matter is raised and cannot contact the connection row 2 on the other side of the side wall 114, so that the connection rows 2 on both sides of the side wall 114 are not short-circuited, and the safety of the battery pack 001 during use and during manufacturing is improved.
[0107] The connection row 2 is used to realize the series or parallel connection of the battery cell 021. The greater the current carried by the connection row 2, the greater the thickness of the connection row 2 needs to be. However, the greater the thickness of the connection row 2, the more difficult it is to weld the connection row 2 with the pole 0211 of the battery cell 021, and there may be a case that the laser welding is not penetrated.
[0108] In order to balance the large current and improve the reliability of welding the connection row 2 with the pole 0211, in some examples, as shown in Figure 7 As shown, the side of the connection row 2 away from the battery module 02 is provided with two second grooves 21, and the groove bottoms of the two second grooves 21 are provided with positioning through holes 22. The two positioning through holes 22 are used to be opposite to the positions of the two poles 0211 connected by the connection row 2, so as to facilitate positioning the connection row 2 when welding the connection row 2 with the poles 0211. The connection row 2 can be made of aluminum and can be referred to as an aluminum bar. When assembling the battery pack, a camera will take a photo of the positioning through hole 22 and the pole 0211, and analyze whether the square positioning through hole 22 is coaxial with the circular groove (such as Figure 4 As shown) on the pole 0211, so as to position the relative positions of the connection row 2 and the pole 0211.
[0109] The technical scheme provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure enables two second grooves 21 at the positions of the two poles 0211 corresponding to the connection row 2, so that the thickness of the part of the connection row 2 welded with the poles 0211 is thinner, which is conducive to improving the reliability of welding the connection row 2 with the two poles 0211. On the other hand, the thickness of the part between the two second grooves 21 on the connection row 2 is not thinned, so the connection row 2 can still carry a large current. In this way, Figure 6 The arrow in the figure shows the direction of the current flow.
[0110] As shown in Figure 6 The sampling plate fixing part 12 includes a plurality of channels 122, and the plurality of channels 122 penetrate the sampling plate fixing part 12 in the thickness direction. Moreover, the positions of the channels 122 are staggered with the positions of the battery cell explosion-proof valves 0212 of the battery module 02.
[0111] Figure 10 The figure shows a schematic view of the sampling plate 3. Figure 11 The figure shows Figure 10A partial enlarged view of the part framed by the middle frame E. As shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 The sampling plate 3 includes a circuit board 31 and a plurality of temperature sensors 32. As shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 The circuit board 31 is fixed to the sampling plate fixing portion 12 on the side facing away from the battery module 02. The plurality of temperature sensors 32 are respectively located in the plurality of channels 122 and are in contact with the plurality of battery cells 021 in the battery module 02. The circuit board 31 of the sampling plate 3 is a flexible printed circuit (FPC) or a printed circuit board (PCB). The temperature sensor can be a thermistor.
[0112] The technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is that the sampling plate fixing portion 12 of the insulating support 1 includes a plurality of channels 122, so that the plurality of temperature sensors 32 can respectively pass through the plurality of channels 122 and be in contact with the plurality of battery cells 021 of the battery module 02. In this way, the temperature collected by the temperature sensor 32 is the temperature of the battery cell 021, and the temperature sampling accuracy of the sampling plate 3 is high. This makes the temperature obtained by the battery management unit 05 more accurate and timely, which is beneficial to the temperature control protection of the battery cell 021 by the battery management unit, and improves the safety of the battery pack 001.
[0113] In addition, the structural strength at the battery cell explosion-proof valve 0212 of the battery cell 021 is low. Therefore, by setting the position of the channel 122 to be staggered with the battery cell explosion-proof valve 0212 of the battery cell 021, the temperature sensor 32 will not be in contact with the battery cell explosion-proof valve 0212, thereby avoiding damage to the battery cell explosion-proof valve 0212 during the connection of the temperature sensor 32 and the battery cell 021.
[0114] In some examples, as shown in Figure 4 The part opposite to the channel 122 of the battery cell 021 is provided with a slot 0213 for exposing the metal material of the battery cell 021. The temperature sensor 32 is in contact with the bottom of the slot 0213. In this way, the temperature sensor 32 is in direct contact with the metal material of the battery cell 021, further improving the temperature sampling accuracy and timeliness of the temperature sensor 32. It can be understood that, since the structural strength at the battery cell explosion-proof valve 0212 is low, the slot 0213 cannot be opened at the battery cell explosion-proof valve 0212. Or, it is difficult to open the slot 0213 under the premise of ensuring that the battery cell explosion-proof valve 0212 is not damaged.
[0115] In some examples, the groove bottom of the groove 0213 is marked with an information code (such as a two-dimensional code), and the information code is used to identify the battery cell 021. In the related art, in order to mark the information code on the battery cell 021, it is generally necessary to provide the groove 0213 on the battery cell 021, and mark the information code on the metal material at the bottom of the groove 0213 of the battery cell 021. That is, the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure reuses the groove 0213 where the information code is located, so that no new groove 0213 needs to be added on the battery cell 021, thereby reducing the processing difficulty of the battery cell 021 and reducing the cost.
[0116] The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the implementation manner of the electrical connection between the circuit board 31 and the temperature sensor 32. In some examples, as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the circuit board 31 includes a plurality of openings 3111. As shown in Figure 9 , in the direction perpendicular to the sampling board fixing portion 12, the plurality of openings 3111 are adjacent to or connected to the plurality of channels 122 respectively, and one side wall of each opening 3111 extends one connection strip 3112. Each connection strip 3112 extends into a corresponding channel 122 and is connected to a temperature sensor 32. Wherein, the connection strip 3112 is integrally formed with the circuit board 31. In other examples, the circuit board 31 and the temperature sensor 32 are electrically connected through an electrical connection line.
[0117] The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the arrangement manner of the above-mentioned channel 122, opening 3111, temperature sensor 32 and groove 0213, as long as the arrangement manner of the channel 122, opening 3111, temperature sensor 32 and groove 0213 is the same.
[0118] In some examples, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the plurality of channels 122 of the sampling board fixing portion 12 are arranged along the length direction of the sampling board fixing portion 12, and adjacent two channels 122 are close to different connection row fixing portions 11 respectively.
[0119] Wherein, in order to facilitate batch processing of the groove 0213, the positions of the grooves 0213 of the plurality of battery cells 021 are the same, for example, the grooves 0213 of the plurality of battery cells 021 are close to the negative electrode poles. Assuming that the plurality of battery cells 021 are in a series connection relationship, the polarities of the poles 0211 of adjacent two battery cells 021 are opposite, which makes the grooves 0213 of the adjacent two battery cells 021 close to the poles 0211 of different columns, and further makes the adjacent two channels 122 close to different connection row fixing portions 11. Of course, assuming that the plurality of battery cells 021 are not in a series connection relationship, the arrangement manner of the channel 122 will be adaptively changed following the arrangement manner of the groove 0213.
[0120] In some examples, as shown in Figures 9-11As shown, the sampling plate 3 further comprises a plurality of nickel sheets 33, one end of the nickel sheets 33 is electrically connected with the circuit board 31, and the other end is electrically connected with the connecting bar 2 in the connecting bar 2. The sampling plate 3 is used to collect the voltage of the battery cell 021 through the nickel sheet 33.
[0121] As previously described, after the battery cell explosion-proof valve 0212 of the battery cell 021 is opened, the smoke (possibly mixed with liquid) sprayed by the battery cell explosion-proof valve 0212 is high in temperature and strong in corrosion. If the smoke is allowed to spread randomly, the smoke may corrode the pole 0211, the connecting bar 2 and the sampling plate 3, causing the battery module 02 to short circuit and the sampling plate 3 to fail, which may further exacerbate the thermal runaway of the battery pack 001. Moreover, since the passage 122 penetrating in the thickness direction is arranged in the sampling plate fixing portion 12, it is also necessary to avoid the smoke flowing into the side of the integrated busbar 03 away from the battery module 02 through the passage 122.
[0122] Figure 12 A schematic view of the side of the integrated busbar 03 facing the battery module 02 is shown, Figure 13 A partial enlarged view of the part framed by the frame G in Figure 12 In order to make the smoke sprayed by the battery cell explosion-proof valve 0212 controllable, in some examples, as shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the side of the sampling plate fixing portion 12 facing the battery module 02 comprises a flue 121, and the flue 121 comprises a groove bottom and two side walls. Among them, the flue 121 is Figure 12 and Figure 13 The part framed by the dashed line frame in Figure 14 A cross-sectional view of the battery pack is shown. Figure 15 A partial enlarged view of the part framed by the frame H in Figure 14 Figure 16 A schematic view of the inside of the flue 121 after the sampling plate fixing portion 12 is partially opened on the side away from the battery module 02. As can be seen from Figures 14-16 The flue 121 is buckled on a row of battery cells 021, and the groove bottom of the flue 121 faces the battery cell explosion-proof valve 0212 of the row of battery cells 021. The two side walls of the flue 121 are located on both sides of the battery cell explosion-proof valve 0212 of the row of battery cells 021. In addition, the side wall of the flue 121 is located between the two connecting bar fixing portions 11, so that the side wall of the flue 121 separates the flue 121 from the two connecting bar fixing portions 11, and further separates the flue 121 from the connecting bar 2 and the pole 0211.
[0123] As Figure 13 and Figure 16 As shown, the groove bottom of the flue 121 is provided with openings of a plurality of passages 122. The sidewalls of the plurality of passages 122 extend along the opening direction of the battery cell explosion-proof valve 0212, one end of the sidewalls of the plurality of passages 122 is connected with the openings, and the other end abuts against the battery cell 021. The temperature sensor 32 passes through the passage 122 to contact the battery cell 021, and the position of the passage 122 is staggered with the battery cell explosion-proof valve 0212. The sidewalls of the plurality of passages 122 separate the temperature sensor 32 and the battery cell explosion-proof valve 0212.
[0124] The technical scheme provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is that the smoke sprayed by the battery cell explosion-proof valve 0212 flows along the flue 121, and under the blocking action of the two sidewalls of the flue 121, the smoke flowing into the flue 121 will not spread to the two sides of the flue 121, and thus will not corrode the pole 0211 and the connection row 2 on the two sides of the flue 121, reducing the risk of short circuit and the possibility of further deterioration of the thermal runaway of the battery pack 001. In addition, since one end of the sidewall of the passage 122 is connected with the opening and the other end abuts against the battery cell 021, the inside of the passage 122 is separated from the flue 121, so that the smoke in the flue 121 will not be directly sprayed to the side of the integrated busbar 03 away from the battery module 02 through the passage 122, and thus the smoke will not corrode the sampling plate 3 and the connection row 2, reducing the failure risk of the sampling plate 3 and the possibility of further deterioration of the thermal runaway of the battery pack 001.
[0125] In some examples, as shown in Figure 13 and Figure 16 As shown, the sidewall of the passage 122, the sidewall of the flue 121 and the top wall of the battery cell 021 enclose a containing cavity, and the temperature sensor 32 is located in the containing cavity. For example, the passage 122 includes three sidewalls, and the three sidewalls form an incomplete ring, and the gap of the ring is closed by the sidewall of the flue 121 to separate the inside of the passage 122 and the inside of the flue 121.
[0126] In other examples, the sidewall of the passage 122 and the top wall of the battery cell 021 enclose a containing cavity. The temperature sensor 32 is located in the containing cavity. For example, the passage 122 includes four sidewalls, and the four sidewalls form a complete ring to separate the inside of the passage 122 and the inside of the flue 121.
[0127] In some examples, as shown in Figure 16 The temperature sensor 32 is located between the connection row 2 and the battery cell explosion-proof valve 0212, and the height of the sidewall of the passage 122 is higher than the battery cell explosion-proof valve 0212 and the temperature sensor 32.
[0128] In some examples, as shown in Figure 2As shown, the battery pack 001 further comprises a battery pack explosion-proof valve 04, which is arranged on the shell wall of the shell 01. In this way, when the amount of smoke sprayed by the cell explosion-proof valve 0212 of the cell 021 is large, the pressure inside the shell 01 is too high, and the battery pack explosion-proof valve 04 will be pressure relief, avoiding the explosion of the battery pack 001. Among them, the shell 01 is a sealed shell.
[0129] In some examples, as shown in Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, the insulating support 1 further comprises a first side plate 13 connected to one end of the main plate 10 of the insulating support 1. The first side plate 13 extends along the height direction of the battery module 02, and the first side plate 13 and the battery module 02 have a gap 130. The gap 130 is in communication with the flue 121. In this way, the smoke in the flue 121 can flow out from the gap 130 and flow into the inside of the shell 01. Among them, the first side plate 13 is perpendicular to the main plate 10, and the first side plate 13 is arranged in parallel with the bottom wall of the shell 01. Of course, in other examples, the insulating support 1 can also not include the first side plate 13, and one end of the flue 121 is open. In this way, the smoke can directly flow out through the opening.
[0130] In some examples, the battery pack explosion-proof valve 04 is located on the shell wall of the shell 01 opposite to the first side plate 13. Then the smoke in the flue 121 will flow towards the battery pack explosion-proof valve 04. In this way, after the battery pack explosion-proof valve 04 is opened, the smoke can be discharged more quickly through the battery pack explosion-proof valve 04, improving the exhaust efficiency of the smoke.
[0131] In some examples, the height of the battery pack explosion-proof valve 04 is lower than the height of the bottom end of the first side plate 13. In this way, the first side plate 13 can guide the smoke towards the battery pack explosion-proof valve 04.
[0132] In some examples, as shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the sampling plate fixing part 12 comprises a plurality of first grooves 123 on the side facing the battery module 02. The plurality of first grooves 123 are respectively opposite to the plurality of cell explosion-proof valves 0212 of the battery module 02. Among them, the first groove 123 is used to weaken the strength of the part where it is located, so that in the case that the smoke sprayed by the cell explosion-proof valve 0212 is too much and the temperature is too high in the later stage of thermal runaway, the smoke sprayed by the cell explosion-proof valve 0212 can break through the first groove 123. In this way, it is beneficial to the rapid diffusion of the smoke sprayed by the cell explosion-proof valve 0212 in the inside of the shell 01, reducing the possibility of explosion of the battery pack 001.
[0133] It should be noted that in the early stage of thermal runaway, the smoke and gas sprayed by the cell explosion valve 0212 is less and the temperature is lower, and the smoke and gas sprayed by the cell explosion valve 0212 will not break through the first groove 123, so the smoke and gas sprayed by the cell explosion valve 0212 still flows along the flue 121. That is, the first groove 123 is designed for the case that the thermal runaway of the cell 021 is extremely serious.
[0134] In some examples, as shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13 , the first groove 123 is a ring-shaped groove. Of course, in other examples, the first groove 123 can also be a rectangular groove, a circular groove, an oval groove, etc.
[0135] In addition, as shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13 , the side of the connection row fixing part 11 facing the battery module 02 is provided with a plurality of fourth grooves 116, and the fourth grooves 116 are in communication with the openings 112. The fourth grooves 116 are used for the pole 0211 of the cell 021 to extend into, so as to preliminarily limit the pole 0211.
[0136] Figure 17 A schematic view of the connection row 2, the first pole output row 4, the second pole output row 5 and the fuse 6 is shown. Figure 18 A schematic view of the electrical connection relationship of a plurality of cells 021 is shown. As shown in Figure 18 , under the electrical connection effect of the connection row 2, the plurality of cells 021 are connected in series.
[0137] In addition, in order to facilitate the battery pack 001 to output electric energy, in addition to the connection row 2, as shown in Figure 17 , the integrated busbar 03 also includes a first pole output row 4 and a second pole output row 5. One end of the first pole output row 4 and the second pole output row 5 is fixed on the connection row fixing part 11, and is respectively used for welding with a pole 0211. Under the effect of the connection row 2, the first pole output row 4 and the second pole output row 5, the current path of the battery module 02 is as shown in Figure 17 . Among them, one of the first pole output row 4 and the second pole output row 5 is a positive pole output row, and the other is a negative pole output row.
[0138] Figure 19 A schematic view of the second pole output row 5 is shown. In some examples, as shown in Figure 19As shown, the inner terminal 511 of the second pole output bus 5 also includes a second groove 21, and the bottom of the second groove 21 is also provided with a positioning through hole 22. The positioning through hole 22 is used to be aligned with the position of the pole post 0211 connected to the inner terminal 511, so as to facilitate welding the inner terminal 511 to the pole post 0211. It should be noted that the function of the second groove 21 and the positioning through hole 22 of the inner terminal 511 is the same as that of the second groove 21 and the positioning through hole 22 on the connecting bus 2. The only difference is that the connecting bus 2 is provided with two second grooves 21 and two positioning through holes 22, while the inner terminal 511 only needs to be welded to one pole post 0211, so it is only provided with one second groove 21 and one positioning through hole 22.
[0139] Figure 20 A schematic diagram of the first-stage output row 4 is shown. In some examples, such as... Figure 20 As shown, the first pole inner terminal 4111 of the first pole output bus 4 also includes a second groove 21, and the bottom of the second groove 21 is also provided with a positioning through hole 22. The positioning through hole 22 is used to be aligned with the position of the pole post 0211 connected to the first pole inner terminal 4111, so as to facilitate welding the first pole inner terminal 4111 to the pole post 0211. It should be noted that the function of the second groove 21 and the positioning through hole 22 of the first pole inner terminal 4111 is the same as that of the second groove 21 and the positioning through hole 22 on the connecting bus 2. The only difference is that the connecting bus 2 is provided with two second grooves 21 and two positioning through holes 22, while the first pole inner terminal 4111 only needs to be welded to one pole post 0211, so it is only provided with one second groove 21 and one positioning through hole 22.
[0140] In some examples, such as Figure 19 As shown, the two sidewalls opposite the inner terminal 511 of the second pole output row 5 also include two slots 23. The part of the connecting row fixing part 11 corresponding to the inner terminal 511 of the second pole is also provided with a receiving groove 111, and two buckles 113 are also provided in the receiving groove 111. The two buckles 113 are respectively engaged with the two slots 23 of the inner terminal 511 of the second pole.
[0141] In some examples, such as Figure 20 As shown, the two sidewalls opposite the first pole inner terminal 4111 of the first pole output row 4 also include two slots 23. The part of the connecting row fixing part 11 corresponding to the first pole inner terminal 4111 is also provided with a receiving groove 111, and two buckles 113 are also provided in the receiving groove 111. The two buckles 113 are respectively engaged with the two slots 23 of the first pole inner terminal 4111.
[0142] In some examples, such as Figure 5As shown, the insulating support 1 further comprises a second side plate 14 connected to one end of the main plate 10. The second side plate 14 is bent towards the battery module 02 relative to the main plate 10. In some examples, the second side plate 14 is perpendicular to the main plate 10.
[0143] In some examples, as shown in Figure 5 As shown, the outer ends of the first and second pole output rows 4 and 5 are fixed to the second side plate 14.
[0144] In some examples, as shown in Figure 5 As shown, one end of the second pole output row 5 is fixed to the connection row fixing portion 11 near the second side plate 14 and is electrically connected to one pole post 0211 of the battery cell 021 near the second side plate 14. One end of the first pole output row 4 is fixed to the connection row fixing portion 11 away from the second side plate 14 and is electrically connected to one pole post 0211 of the battery cell 021 away from the second side plate 14.
[0145] As shown in Figure 20 The first pole output row 4 comprises a first segment 411, a second segment 412 and a third segment 413 connected in sequence. As shown in Figure 5 The insulating support 1 further comprises a third side plate 15 connected to one side of the main plate 10 and located between the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14. The first segment 411 is fixedly connected to the first side plate 13, the second segment 412 is fixedly connected to the third side plate 15, and the third segment 413 is fixedly connected to the second side plate 14. In some examples, the third side plate 15 is perpendicular to the main plate 10.
[0146] Figure 21 A partial enlarged view of the portion enclosed by the frame B in Figure 5 is shown. Figure 22 A partial enlarged view of the portion enclosed by the frame C in Figure 5 is shown. In some examples, as shown in Figure 5 , Figure 21 and Figure 22 The first side plate 13 is provided with a first limiting slot 131, and the third side plate 15 is provided with a second limiting slot 151.
