Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of battery safety technology, and in particular to a battery connection bar. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, safety accidents caused by thermal runaway of lithium-ion batteries have occurred frequently in energy storage applications in various fields, and some have even caused significant loss of life and property. When a cell in a battery pack or battery system experiences thermal runaway, it often transfers high temperature to adjacent cells, causing thermal runaway, which continues to spread and eventually causes the entire battery pack or system to catch fire and explode. At present, in order to slow down the spread of possible thermal runaway, preventive measures are taken to fill flame-retardant insulation media between adjacent cells during the assembly of battery modules or battery packs, and even fire-fighting facilities are deployed in some large battery systems. However, the cells in the battery pack are connected by excellent conductors, which also provide good heat transfer channels between cells. This means that once a cell experiences thermal runaway, the thermal runaway diffusion channel is still unobstructed. Placing thermal insulation materials between cells alone cannot effectively block the spread of thermal runaway. Therefore, it is also necessary to quickly cut off the connection row of the accident cell when thermal runaway occurs in order to cut off its extended thermal diffusion channel, which requires anti-thermal runaway diffusion connection rows to achieve this.

[0016] According to another aspect of the present invention, a vehicle is provided, comprising a battery, wherein the battery is the battery described above.

[0037] Combination Figures 1 to 9As shown, according to a specific embodiment of the present application, a battery connection row is provided.

[0038] Specifically, in order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, according to one aspect of the present invention, a battery connection row is provided. It includes: a conductive substrate 10, a fusible body 20 and a hot cutter 30, wherein the conductive substrate 10 has a connection end connected to a battery cell. The fusible body 20 has a working state connected to the conductive substrate 10, and the fusible body 20 has a molten state in which it is at least partially melted when the temperature exceeds a first temperature threshold, so that the fusible body 20 is disconnected from the conductive substrate 10. The hot cutter 30 is connected to the conductive substrate 10, and the blade 31 of the hot cutter 30 is arranged toward the fusible body 20, and the hot cutter 30 has an initial position in which the blade 31 is spaced a preset distance from the fusible body 20, and the hot cutter 30 has a deformation state in which the blade 31 moves toward the fusible body 20 when the temperature exceeds a second temperature threshold, so that the blade 31 cuts the fusible body 20 from the conductive substrate 10.

[0039] In an embodiment of the present application, the battery connection row structure includes: a conductive substrate 10, a fusible body 20 and a hot cutter 30. The conductive substrate 10 is used to connect battery cells. The fusible body 20 is connected to the conductive substrate. When the temperature exceeds the set first temperature threshold, the fusible body 20 will partially melt, thereby disconnecting from the conductive substrate 10 to avoid thermal runaway. The hot cutter 30 is connected to the conductive substrate 10, and its blade 31 faces the fusible body 20. When the hot cutter 30 is in the initial position, a preset distance is set between the blade 31 and the fusible body 20. When the temperature exceeds the set second temperature threshold, the hot cutter 30 is deformed, so that the blade 31 moves toward the fusible body 20, and the fusible body 20 is cut off from the conductive substrate 10. The above-mentioned battery connection row structure can quickly and reliably disconnect when the temperature changes, effectively prevent the spread of thermal runaway, avoid the occurrence of thermal runaway, and ensure the stability and safety of the battery system.

[0040] In another embodiment of the present application, there are two conductive substrates 10, both of which have connecting ends. The two conductive substrates 10 are connected to different battery cells through corresponding connecting ends. The fusible element 20 is arranged between the two conductive substrates 10, and the fusible element 20 is connected to both conductive substrates 10.

[0041] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, there are two conductive substrates 10, each conductive substrate 10 has a connection end, and is connected to different battery cells through the connection end. The fusible body 20 is arranged between the two conductive substrates 10 and connected to the two conductive substrates 10. Such a design can ensure that the connection between the fusible body 20 and the conductive substrate 10 is stable, providing a reliable connection for the battery cells.

[0042] Furthermore, a receiving portion 11 is provided on one side of the two conductive substrates 10 facing the fusible body 20 , a first end of the fusible body 20 is connected to the receiving portion 11 formed by one conductive substrate 10 , and a second end of the fusible body 20 is connected to the receiving portion 11 formed by the other conductive substrate 10 .

[0043] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, a receiving portion 11 is provided on one side of the two conductive substrates 10, and the head end of the fusible element 20 is connected to the receiving portion 11 of one conductive substrate 10, and the tail end thereof is connected to the receiving portion 11 of the other conductive substrate 10. This design structure can ensure that the fusible element 20 is firmly connected between the two conductive substrates 10, thereby effectively conducting current and realizing a safe cut-off function when necessary, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the battery system.

[0044] Furthermore, the fusible body 20 and the receiving portion 11 are connected by a hot pressing process.

[0045] Specifically, at the connection point, the conductive substrate 10 sandwiches the fusible body 20 in the middle, and then the two are fused by a hot pressing process to obtain a lower connection resistance. The connection row provides a reliable connection with extremely low internal resistance between battery cells. This connection method can ensure a stable connection between the fusible body 20 and the receiving portion 11, and improve the reliability and stability of the connection.

[0046] It should be noted that the fusible body 20 is made of a fusible alloy and has a relatively low melting point, and the fusing temperature can be set by adjusting the metal composition.

[0047] Furthermore, at least one conductive substrate 10 includes: a plurality of conductive metal layers 12 , and the conductive substrate 10 is obtained by laminating the plurality of conductive metal layers 12 along the thickness direction of the conductive substrate 10 , and the conductive metal layers 12 are conductive metal foils.

[0048] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, a conductive substrate 10 includes a plurality of conductive metal layers 12, which are pressed together along the thickness direction of the conductive substrate 10. These conductive metal layers are usually conductive metal foils. This structural design can increase the conductivity of the conductive substrate 10, making it more durable. By stacking multiple layers of metal foil, the conductive substrate 10 can conduct current more effectively and improve the reliability and stability of the connection. This structural design also helps to reduce internal resistance and improve current transmission efficiency, thereby improving the performance and safety of the battery system.

[0049] Furthermore, the plurality of conductive metal layers 12 are formed with openings on one side facing the fusible body 20, and the openings form the accommodating portion 11. This design enables the conductive metal layer 12 to be connected and fixed to the fusible body 20, provides a stable electrical connection, and ensures the current conduction efficiency and connection reliability. The design of the accommodating portion 11 helps to smoothly install the fusible body 20 on the conductive metal layer 12, thereby achieving effective current transmission and connection functions.

[0050] In another embodiment of the present application, Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, there are two heat cutters 30, and the two heat cutters 30 are respectively connected to the two conductive substrates 10, and the blade 31 of one heat cutter 30 is arranged toward the first end of the fusible body 20, and the blade 31 of the other heat cutter 30 is arranged toward the second end of the fusible body 20. This design structure can ensure that the heat cutter 30 can quickly cut the fusible body 20 when necessary, thereby realizing the safety cut-off function in the case of thermal runaway of the battery system, effectively preventing the spread and diffusion of thermal runaway, and improving the safety and stability of the battery system.

[0051] Furthermore, the hot cutter 30 includes: a first metal layer 32, the first metal layer 32 is connected to the conductive substrate 10; a second metal layer 33, the second metal layer 33 is arranged on the side of the first metal layer 32 away from the conductive substrate 10, the second metal layer 33 is connected to the first metal layer 32, and a blade 31 is arranged at the end of the second metal layer 33 facing the fusible body 20; wherein the thermal expansion coefficient of the second metal layer 33 is greater than the thermal expansion coefficient of the first metal layer 32, so that when the hot cutter 30 is heated, the end of the second metal layer 33 is deformed toward the first metal layer 32, thereby driving the blade 31 to move toward the fusible body 20.

[0052] Specifically, Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the hot cutter 30 includes a first metal layer 32 and a second metal layer 33. The first metal layer 32 is connected to the conductive substrate 10, and the second metal layer 33 is located on one side of the first metal layer 32 and connected to the first metal layer 32. A blade 31 is provided at the end of the second metal layer 33, facing the fusible body 20. The thermal expansion coefficient of the second metal layer 33 is greater than the thermal expansion coefficient of the first metal layer 32, so that when heated, the end of the second metal layer 33 will deform, driving the blade 31 to move toward the fusible body 20. This design structure allows the hot cutter 30 to quickly perform cutting action when heated, improving efficiency and accuracy. At the same time, the connection method of the first metal layer 32 ensures that the blade 31 is stably aligned with the fusible body 20, avoiding cutting deviation.

[0053] It needs to be further explained that if Figure 5As shown, the hot cutter 30 is formed by riveting two metal sheets together to form a bimetallic sheet and stamping it, and then the bimetallic sheet is connected to the conductive substrate 10 of the row composite body. The bimetallic sheet can bend toward the fusible body 20 when heated and cut the fusible body 20. The hot cutter 30 is a bimetallic sheet with a T-shaped structure, which is installed at a position close to the fusible body 20. The working principle of the hot cutter 30 is: when the temperature of the connecting row composite body increases, the temperature of the hot cutter 30 increases accordingly, and the bimetallic sheet bends and drives the blade close to the fusible body 20. As the temperature of the connecting row composite body further increases, the fusible body 20 softens, and the hot cutter 30 cuts into the fusible body 20, accelerating the melting and breaking of the fusible body 20. At the same time, the molten liquid of the fusible body 20 is absorbed by the hot cutter 30, so that the breaking distance of the fusible body 20 is enlarged to enhance the heat insulation effect, thereby playing the role of cutting off the arc.

[0054] Furthermore, the battery connection row also includes a shell 40, and the shell 40 has a receiving cavity, and the fusible body 20 and at least a part of the conductive substrate 10 are located in the receiving cavity.

[0055] Specifically, the shell 40 is made of high temperature resistant and flame retardant material, and is located in the middle of the connecting row to cover the fusible body 20, thereby strengthening the structural strength of the connecting row and preventing the contents from leaking out.

[0056] Furthermore, quartz sand is arranged in the accommodation cavity, and the quartz sand is used to be mixed into the fusible body 20 when the fusible body 20 is in a molten state to accelerate the splitting of the fusible body 20 .

[0057] Specifically, by arranging quartz sand in the accommodation cavity, when the fusible body 20 is in a molten state, the quartz sand can be mixed into the fusible body 20, thereby accelerating the splitting process of the fusible body 20. This improves the efficiency of the battery connection row and ensures that the battery connection row can be more stable and reliable when working normally. At the same time, this design can also reduce the splitting time of the fusible body 20, and the mixing process of the quartz sand in the fusible body 20 can be completed more quickly, thereby reducing the time of the entire splitting process and improving production efficiency.

[0058] Further, the housing 40 includes a first housing and a second housing arranged opposite to the first housing, the first housing and the second housing form a containing cavity, and a sand injection hole 41 is arranged on the first housing and one of the first housings.

[0059] Specifically, Fig. 9As shown, a sand injection hole 41 is also provided on the upper shell 40, through which quartz sand can be injected into the gap between the shell 40 and the connecting row complex. When the fusible body 20 melts, the quartz sand is mixed into the fusible body 20 to accelerate the splitting of the fusible body 20, thereby achieving the effect of quickly cutting off the circuit; after the connecting row is filled with quartz sand, the sand injection hole 41 is sealed with a potting glue. By providing the sand injection hole 41 on the shell, quartz sand can be easily injected into the shell 40, and then the quartz sand is injected into the shell 40 to accelerate the splitting of the fusible body 20, thereby achieving the effect of quickly cutting off the circuit and avoiding thermal runaway of the battery. After filling with quartz sand, sealing the sand injection hole 41 with a potting glue can effectively prevent the spread of thermal runaway and improve the safety performance of the battery.

[0060] According to another aspect of the present invention, a battery is provided, comprising a battery connection bar, wherein the battery connection bar is the battery connection bar mentioned above.

[0061] According to another aspect of the present invention, a vehicle includes a battery, wherein the battery connecting bar is the above-mentioned battery.

[0062] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0063] 1. Rivet two metal sheets together to form a bimetallic sheet and stamp it, then fix the bimetallic sheet on the conductive substrate 10 of the composite row. The bimetallic sheet can bend toward the fusible body 20 when heated and cut off the fusible body 20. Install a hot cutter 30 on the connecting row composite body to obtain a connecting row composite body that prevents thermal runaway diffusion. The connecting row composite body is equipped with a shell 40, and quartz sand is filled into the shell 40, and finally the sand injection hole 41 is closed. The preparation of the thermal runaway diffusion-proof battery connecting row can be completed.

[0064] 2. The battery connection row structure includes: a conductive substrate 10, a fusible body 20 and a hot cutter 30. The conductive substrate 10 is used to connect battery cells. The fusible body 20 is connected to the conductive substrate. When the temperature exceeds the set first temperature threshold, the fusible body 20 will partially melt, thereby disconnecting from the conductive substrate 10 to avoid thermal runaway. The hot cutter 30 is connected to the conductive substrate 10, and its blade 31 faces the fusible body 20. When the hot cutter 30 is in the initial position, a preset distance is set between the blade 31 and the fusible body 20. When the temperature exceeds the set second temperature threshold, the hot cutter 30 is deformed, so that the blade 31 moves toward the fusible body 20, and the fusible body 20 is cut off from the conductive substrate 10. The above-mentioned battery connection row structure can quickly and reliably disconnect when the temperature changes, effectively prevent the spread of thermal runaway, avoid the occurrence of thermal runaway, and ensure the stability and safety of the battery system.
