Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of batteries, and particularly relates to an explosion-proof valve patch, a cover plate assembly and an electric core. Background Art

[0002] The explosion-proof valve patch is arranged outside the electric core cover plate and is used to cover the explosion-proof valve mounting hole to protect the explosion-proof valve in the explosion-proof valve mounting hole. The explosion-proof valve patch is generally made of a material with a ventilation effect. The explosion-proof valve mounting hole can be communicated with the outside through the ventilation structure of the explosion-proof valve patch itself. In the prior art, a slotted structure is also arranged on the explosion-proof valve patch to reduce the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the explosion-proof valve.

[0003] Considering that the explosion-proof valve mounting hole is generally located between the liquid injection hole and the information identification code (such as a two-dimensional code) on the electric core cover plate, during the process of injecting electrolyte into the liquid injection hole, the overflowing electrolyte will flow to the information identification code after flowing through the edge of the explosion-proof valve patch, thereby contaminating the information identification code. In addition, only setting a slotted structure on the explosion-proof valve patch has a poor improvement effect on the pressure difference problem, resulting in a large deformation risk during the use of the explosion-proof valve. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide an explosion-proof valve patch to prevent the overflowing electrolyte from being contaminated.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is realized as follows:

[0006] An explosion-proof valve patch covers the outside of the explosion-proof valve mounting hole of the electric core cover plate and is located between the liquid injection hole and the information identification code. The explosion-proof valve patch includes a main body part adapted to the explosion-proof valve mounting hole and an edge part arranged along the outer periphery of the main body part. A non-adhesive area and a connecting area with an adhesive layer are arranged on the side of the edge part facing the electric core cover plate;

[0007] The edge part is connected to the electric core cover plate through the adhesive layer, and a communication channel is formed among the non-adhesive area, the adhesive layer and the electric core cover plate. The communication channel is used to communicate the explosion-proof valve mounting hole and the outside of the electric core cover plate and guide the overflowing electrolyte into the explosion-proof valve mounting hole.

[0008] Further, the flow area S of the communication channel satisfies: 0.5mm 2 ≤S≤60mm 2 .

[0009] Further, the ratio P of the total area M of the non-adhesive area in the thickness direction of the explosion-proof valve patch to the area N of the edge part in the thickness direction of the explosion-proof valve patch satisfies: 0.005≤P≤0.5.

[0010] Further, the edge portion has a first section facing the liquid injection hole, a second section disposed opposite to the first section, and a third section respectively connected between the same ends of the first section and the second section;

[0011] The glue-free area is provided in the middle of the second section and / or the middle of the third section.

[0012] Further, a plurality of the connection areas are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the edge portion, and the glue-free areas are respectively disposed between the two ends of two adjacent connection areas; or,

[0013] There is one connection area, and the glue-free area is disposed between the two ends of the connection area.

[0014] Further, the thickness d of the main body portion and the edge portion satisfies: 0.01 mm ≤ d ≤ 8 mm.

[0015] Further, the explosion-proof valve patch is in any one of an oblong shape, a square shape, a rectangular shape, an oval shape or a circular shape.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0017] In the explosion-proof valve patch of the present invention, a communication channel is formed by enclosing the glue-free area, the glue layer and the cell cover plate on the edge portion. The communication channel not only enables the air pressure between the explosion-proof valve mounting hole and the outside to be balanced. When the pressure in the explosion-proof valve mounting hole increases, the gas can be discharged through the communication channel; when the pressure in the explosion-proof valve mounting hole decreases, the outside gas can enter, which is beneficial to preventing the explosion-proof valve from deforming due to the pressure difference problem. In addition, the overflowing electrolyte can flow into the explosion-proof valve mounting hole through the communication channel. Considering that the amount of the overflowing electrolyte is small, even if it flows into the explosion-proof valve mounting hole, the pollution rate of the explosion-proof valve is within the allowable range, thereby avoiding the electrolyte from polluting the information identification code, and further being beneficial to ensuring the use performance of the information identification portion.

[0018] In addition, the setting of the flow area range of the communication channel is beneficial to ensuring the use requirements of ventilation and electrolyte inflow. When the flow area is less than 0.5 mm 2 the ventilation effect is poor, and the electrolyte is not easy to flow into the explosion-proof valve mounting hole; when the flow area is greater than 60 mm 2When in this situation, it will result in poor connection effect of the explosion-proof valve patch, and it is easy for foreign objects to block the communication channel or enter the explosion-proof valve installation hole. The ratio range of the total area of the glue-free area to the area of the edge area is beneficial to ensuring the pressure difference balance effect of the communication channel, thereby maintaining the pressure balance on both sides of the explosion-proof valve, and further preventing the explosion-proof valve from deforming; when the ratio P is lower than 0.005, the ventilation effect of the communication channel cannot be ensured, and the electrolyte cannot be guided into the explosion-proof valve installation hole. When the ratio P is higher than 0.5, it may cause the explosion-proof valve patch to be not firmly adhered to the cell cover plate.

[0019] In addition, by setting the middle parts of the second section and the third section of the glue-free area, the flow path of the electrolyte becomes clearer and smoother, and the overflowing electrolyte is guided to flow into the communication channel, and then into the explosion-proof valve installation hole, preventing the problem of low inflow volume of the electrolyte into the communication channel due to the glue-free area being too close to the liquid injection hole. Through multiple connection areas, it is beneficial to form multiple communication channels, thereby improving the ventilation and electrolyte inflow efficiency. And when one communication channel cannot be used, the purpose of balancing the air pressure and guiding the electrolyte to flow in can also be achieved through other communication channels; forming one communication channel through one connection area is also beneficial to meeting the usage requirements of ventilation and guiding the electrolyte to flow into the explosion-proof valve installation hole, and has a simple structure and is easy to process and form. The setting of the thickness range of the main body part and the edge part is beneficial to meeting the usage requirements of the explosion-proof valve patch. The setting of the shape of the explosion-proof valve is beneficial to meeting the usage requirements of explosion-proof valve installation holes of different shapes, and has good flexibility.

[0020] In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a cover plate assembly, including a cell cover plate, wherein the cell cover plate is provided with a liquid injection hole and an information identification code, and an explosion-proof valve installation hole located between the liquid injection hole and the information identification code, and an explosion-proof valve patch as described above is provided outside the explosion-proof valve installation hole.

[0021] For the cover plate assembly of the present invention, by setting the explosion-proof valve patch as above, it is beneficial to prevent the explosion-proof valve from deforming, and is beneficial to preventing the information identification code from being contaminated by the overflowing electrolyte, thereby being beneficial to improving the usage performance of the cover plate assembly.

[0022] Furthermore, the present invention also provides a cell, including the cover plate assembly as described above.

[0023] For the cell of the present invention, by setting the cover plate assembly as above, it is beneficial to ensure the usage performance of the explosion-proof valve, and further improve the safety of the cell. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

In addition, if terms such as "first", "second", etc. appear, they are also only for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0035] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with embodiments. Embodiment 1

[0036] This embodiment relates to an explosion-proof valve patch 1, which covers the outside of the explosion-proof valve mounting hole 203 of the cell cover plate 2 and is located between the liquid injection hole 201 and the information identification code 202. To solve the problems in the prior art that the structural design of the explosion-proof valve patch 1 is unreasonable, resulting in easy deformation of the explosion-proof valve and the electrolyte overflowing during liquid injection is likely to contaminate the information identification code 202.

[0037] In terms of the overall structure, the explosion-proof valve patch 1 described in this embodiment includes a main body portion 101 adapted to be arranged in the explosion-proof valve mounting hole 203, and an edge portion 102 arranged along the outer periphery of the main body portion 101. An adhesive-free area 1022 and a connection area 1021 having an adhesive layer 3 are provided on one side of the edge portion 102 facing the battery cell cover plate 2. Among them, the edge portion 102 is connected to the battery cell cover plate 2 through the adhesive layer 3, and a communication channel 103 is formed by enclosing the adhesive-free area 1022, the adhesive layer 3 and the battery cell cover plate 2. The communication channel 103 is used to communicate the explosion-proof valve mounting hole 203 with the outside of the battery cell cover plate 2 and guide the overflowing electrolyte to flow into the explosion-proof valve mounting hole 203.

[0038] For the explosion-proof valve patch 1 described in this embodiment, a communication channel 103 is formed by enclosing the adhesive-free area 1022, the adhesive layer 3 and the battery cell cover plate 2 on the edge portion 102. The communication channel 103 not only enables the air pressure between the explosion-proof valve mounting hole 203 and the outside to be balanced. When the pressure in the explosion-proof valve mounting hole 203 increases, the gas can be discharged through the communication channel 103; when the pressure in the explosion-proof valve mounting hole 203 decreases, the outside gas can enter, which is beneficial to preventing the explosion-proof valve from deforming due to the pressure difference problem. In addition, the overflowing electrolyte can flow into the explosion-proof valve mounting hole 203 through the communication channel 103. Considering that the amount of the overflowing electrolyte is small, even if it flows into the explosion-proof valve mounting hole 203, the pollution rate of the explosion-proof valve is within the allowable range, thereby avoiding the electrolyte from contaminating the information identification code 202, and further being beneficial to ensuring the use performance of the information identification portion.

[0039] Based on the above overall introduction, an exemplary structure of the explosion-proof valve patch 1 described in this embodiment is as Figures 1 to 4 shown in. Among them, the explosion-proof valve mounting hole 203 is a through hole arranged through the thickness direction of the battery cell cover plate 2, and the side of the explosion-proof valve mounting hole 203 facing outside the battery cell cover plate 2 is coplanar with the battery cell cover plate 2. In particular, in this application, in order to ensure the use effect of the communication channel 103, there is no need to provide a boss arranged along the circumferential direction of the explosion-proof valve mounting hole 203 on the battery cell cover plate 2.

[0040] In this embodiment, the main body portion 101 being adapted to be arranged in the explosion-proof valve mounting hole 203 means that the projection of the explosion-proof valve mounting hole 203 and the outer contour of the main body portion 101 in the thickness direction of the battery cell cover plate 2 completely coincide, that is, the shape and size of the main body portion 101 are completely consistent with the shape and specifications of the explosion-proof valve mounting hole 203. The shapes of the outer contour and the inner contour of the edge portion 102 are the same as the shape of the outer contour of the main body portion 101. Among them, the dividing line between the edge portion 102 and the main body portion 101 is as Figure 1 shown by the dotted line in.

[0041] In this embodiment, the explosion-proof valve mounting hole 203 is in the shape of Figure 1The oblong shape shown in the figure, at this time the main body portion 101 is also oblong, and the outer contour and inner contour of the edge portion 102 are also oblong. Of course, the explosion-proof valve patch 1 can also be in any one of a circular shape, a rectangular shape, an oval shape or a square shape, so as to adapt to explosion-proof valve mounting holes 203 of different shapes, with better flexibility, and at the same time can meet the use requirements of protecting the explosion-proof valve.

[0042] In some embodiments, there are a plurality of connection regions 1021 arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the edge portion 102, and the non-adhesive regions 1022 are respectively arranged between the two ends of two adjacent connection regions 1021. Through the plurality of connection regions 1021, it is beneficial to form a plurality of communication channels 103, thereby improving the ventilation and the inflow efficiency of the electrolyte. And when one of the communication channels 103 cannot be used, the purpose of balancing the air pressure and guiding the electrolyte to flow in can also be achieved through other communication channels 103.

[0043] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the figure, the connection regions 1021 are two ends relatively arranged at both ends of the edge portion 102, and each connection region 1021 is shaped to follow the two ends of the edge portion 102. In this way, the communication channels 103 are correspondingly arranged on both sides in the width direction of the explosion-proof valve patch 1, that is, there are two relatively arranged communication channels 103 formed between the explosion-proof valve patch 1, the adhesive layer 3 and the battery cell cover plate 2. In other embodiments, there may be only one connection region 1021, and the non-adhesive regions 1022 are arranged between the two ends of the connection region 1021. At this time, it is also beneficial to meet the use requirements of ventilation and guiding the electrolyte to flow into the explosion-proof valve mounting hole 203, and the structure is simple and easy to process and form.

[0044] As a preferred embodiment, the flow area S of the communication channel 103 satisfies: 0.5 mm 2 ≤ S ≤ 60 mm 2 . The flow area here specifically refers to the cross-sectional area perpendicular to the flow direction of the electrolyte in the communication channel 103. The setting of the range of the flow area S is beneficial to ensure the use requirements of ventilation and electrolyte inflow. When the flow area is less than 0.5 mm 2 , the ventilation effect is poor, and the electrolyte is not easy to flow into the explosion-proof valve mounting hole 203; when the flow area is greater than 60 mm 2 , the connection effect of the explosion-proof valve patch 1 will be poor, and it is easy for foreign objects to block the communication channel 103 or enter the explosion-proof valve mounting hole 203. Specifically in implementation, the flow area S of the communication channel 103 can be, for example, 0.5 mm 2 , 1 mm 2 , 10 mm 2 , 30 mm 2 , 40 mm 2 , 45 mm 2 、50 mm2 、 55 mm 2 、 58 mm 2 or 60 mm 2 。

[0045] To verify the rationality of the flow area S of the communication channel 103 in this embodiment, the following comparative tests were carried out. The test parameters and results are shown in Table 1.

[0046] Table 1:

[0047]

[0048] Among them, the flow area S of the communication channel 103 in Embodiments 1 to 7 is within the corresponding reasonable numerical range. At this time, the electrolyte can flow into the explosion-proof valve installation hole 203 through the communication channel 103, and the pollution rate of the explosion-proof valve is less than 1%. Therefore, it will not affect the use performance of the explosion-proof valve. At the same time, because the electrolyte flows into the explosion-proof valve installation hole 203, when the battery cell is at high temperature and static, the electrolyte cannot flow out of the explosion-proof valve installation hole 203 again and pollute the information identification code 202.

[0049] In addition, the communication effect between the communication channel 103 and the outside is good, so that the explosion-proof valve will not deform due to the pressure difference between the inside and the outside of the explosion-proof valve installation hole 203, which is conducive to ensuring the use performance of the explosion-proof valve and making the performance of the explosion-proof valve patch 1 qualified. At the same time, the bonding strength of the explosion-proof valve patch 1 also meets the requirements. Moreover, foreign objects are not easy to enter the explosion-proof valve installation hole 203. Even if a small amount of tiny foreign objects enter the explosion-proof valve installation hole 203, it will not affect the use performance of the explosion-proof valve.

[0050] In Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, the value of the flow area S is less than 0.5 mm 2 , and it is not easy for the electrolyte to flow into the liquid inlet part through the communication channel 103, resulting in a poor effect of the electrolyte flowing into the explosion-proof valve installation hole 203. Most of the electrolyte cannot flow into the explosion-proof valve installation hole 203 and remains near the communication channel 103, or directly flows to the information identification code 202. When the battery cell is at high temperature and static, the electrolyte will still pollute the information identification code 202, and it is not easy for foreign objects to enter the explosion-proof valve installation hole 203 through the communication channel 103 and then pollute the explosion-proof valve.

[0051] At the same time, due to the small size of the flow area S, the problem of the pressure difference between the explosion-proof valve installation hole 203 and the outside is not improved significantly, and the explosion-proof valve will deform during use. Therefore, the explosion-proof valve patch 1 in Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 is unqualified.

[0052] In Comparative Example 3 and Comparative Example 4, the value of the flow area S is greater than 60 mm 2, at this time, since the specification of the communication channel 103 is relatively large, it is beneficial to improve the pressure difference problem between the explosion-proof valve mounting hole 203 and the outside. Therefore, the explosion-proof valve is not prone to deformation during use, and the electrolyte can still flow into the explosion-proof valve mounting hole 203 through the communication channel 103, and the pollution rate of the explosion-proof valve is higher than 2%. However, due to the relatively large specification of the communication channel 103, foreign objects are still likely to flow into the explosion-proof valve mounting hole 203 through the communication channel 103. The bonding strength of the explosion-proof valve patch 1 in Comparative Example 3 does not meet the requirements. Therefore, the explosion-proof valve patches 1 in Comparative Example 3 and Comparative Example 4 are both unqualified.

[0053] As a preferred embodiment, the ratio P of the total area M of the glue-free area 1022 in the thickness direction of the explosion-proof valve patch 1 to the area N of the edge portion 102 in the thickness direction of the explosion-proof valve patch 1 satisfies: 0.005 ≤ P ≤ 0.5. Such a setting is beneficial to ensuring the pressure balance effect of the communication channel 103, thereby maintaining the pressure balance on both sides of the explosion-proof valve, and further preventing the explosion-proof valve from deforming. It should be noted that: the total area M of the glue-free area 1022 in the thickness direction of the explosion-proof valve patch 1 is specifically Figure 1 the total area of the glue-free area 1022 from the perspective shown, and the area N of the edge portion 102 in the thickness direction of the explosion-proof valve patch 1 is specifically Figure 1 the area of the edge portion 102 from the perspective shown.

[0054] When the ratio P is lower than 0.005, the ventilation effect of the communication channel 103 cannot be ensured, and the electrolyte cannot be guided into the explosion-proof valve mounting hole 203. When the ratio P is higher than 0.5, it may cause the explosion-proof valve patch 1 to be not firmly adhered to the cell cover plate 2. Specifically in implementation, the ratio P of the total area M of the glue-free area 1022 to the area N of the edge portion 102 can be, for example, 0.005, 0.01, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.3, 1, 0.4, 0.45 or 0.5, etc.

[0055] Specifically in implementation, the total area of the glue-free area 1022 is equal to the area of the edge portion 102 minus the total area of the connection area 1021. Taking Figure 1 as an example, the end of the edge portion 102 is in a semi-circular arc shape, and the radius of the outer contour of the semi-circular arc is A, the radius of the inner contour is B, and the center distance between the two semi-circular arcs at both ends of the edge portion 102 is C. Then the area N of the edge portion 102 = π * (A 2 - B 2 ) + 2 * (A - B) * C. When the explosion-proof valve patch 1 is circular, the circular distance C is equal to 0.

[0056] To verify the rationality of the above area ratio P in this embodiment, a verification test was carried out, and the specific verification results are shown in Table 2.

[0057] Table 2:

[0058]

[0059] As can be seen from Samples 1 to 3, Samples 5 to 9, and Sample 11 in Table 2, when the ratio P of the total area M of the non-adhesive region 1022 to the area N of the edge portion 102 satisfies 0.005 ≤ P ≤ 0.5, the explosion-proof valve will not deform, and the bonding effect between the explosion-proof valve patch 1 and the battery cell cover plate 2 is good. In Sample 4, since the ratio P is less than 0.005, that is, the area of the non-adhesive region 1022 accounts for a relatively low proportion, there is overflow glue plugging in the non-adhesive region 1022. At this time, the ventilation effect of the communication channel 103 is poor, the explosion-proof valve deforms, and at the same time, the explosion pressure of the battery cell is unstable, which is not conducive to the safety of the battery cell.

[0060] In Sample 10, when the ratio P is greater than 0.5, that is, the area of the non-adhesive region 1022 is large, the adhesive force of the explosion-proof valve patch 1 is insufficient and it is easy to fall off, so the explosion-proof valve cannot be protected, and external impurities are likely to enter the explosion-proof valve installation hole 203 and then contaminate the explosion-proof valve, thus affecting the use performance of the explosion-proof valve.

[0061] In addition, as Figure 3 shown, the edge portion 102 of this embodiment has a first section 104 facing the liquid injection hole 201, a second section 105 opposite to the first section 104, and a third section 106 connecting the same ends of the first section 104 and the second section 105 respectively. The non-adhesive region 1022 is provided in the middle of the second section 105 and / or the middle of the third section 106.

[0062] In this embodiment, the non-adhesive region 1022 is arranged in the middle of the second section 105 and the third section 106, making the flow path of the electrolyte clearer and smoother, and guiding the overflowing electrolyte to flow into the communication channel 103, and then into the explosion-proof valve installation hole 203, preventing the problem that the amount of electrolyte flowing into the communication channel 103 is low due to the non-adhesive region 1022 being too close to the liquid injection hole 201. During specific implementation, the number and position of the non-adhesive region 1022 can also be adjusted adaptively according to the use requirements as long as the use requirements are met.

[0063] In addition, in this embodiment, the thickness d of the main body portion 101 and the edge portion 102 satisfies: 0.01 mm ≤ d ≤ 8 mm. Among them, the same thickness of the main body portion 101 and the edge portion 102 is conducive to meeting the usage requirements of the explosion-proof valve patch 1. At the same time, the setting of the thickness d range here also helps to prevent the explosion-proof valve patch 1 from being easily deformed due to the thickness d being less than 0.01 mm, which affects the use stability, and helps to prevent the relatively high cost caused by the thickness d being greater than 8 mm. Specifically in implementation, the thickness d of the explosion-proof valve patch 1 can be, for example, 0.01 mm, 0.05 mm, 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 7 mm or 8 mm, etc.

[0064] For the explosion-proof valve patch 1 described in this embodiment, by forming a communication channel 103 between the explosion-proof valve patch 1 and the battery cell cover plate 2, it is conducive to preventing the deformation of the explosion-proof valve caused by the pressure difference problem, and it is also conducive to guiding the electrolyte overflowing during the electrolyte injection process into the explosion-proof valve mounting hole 203, thereby preventing the electrolyte from contaminating the information identification code 202, and further conducive to improving the use performance of the explosion-proof valve patch 1 and the explosion-proof valve.
