Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lithium batteries, and in particular to an assembled lithium battery. Background Art
[0002] A lithium battery uses lithium metal or a lithium alloy as the negative electrode material and a non-aqueous electrolyte solution. Due to the highly reactive chemical properties of lithium metal, its processing, storage, and use place high demands on the environment. In recent years, with the advancement of microelectronics technology and the increasing number of miniaturized devices, lithium batteries have entered a stage of large-scale development and practical application.
[0003] To improve performance, existing lithium batteries often use an assembled structure. For example, CN113725535B discloses a soft-pack lithium battery cell module assembly structure and method. This document considers that the heat dissipation efficiency of soft-pack lithium batteries is inefficient, which can easily exacerbate wear and tear on the soft-pack batteries and cause bulging. Therefore, it proposes the coordinated use of battery cells, a control panel, power cables, an insulating plate, connecting components, a shock-absorbing component, and a heat dissipation component. By providing a through-plate, the lower hook plate can pass through the upper hook plate, enhancing the firmness of the connection between the two and preventing shaking and instability after the lower and upper hook plates are connected. However, this also increases the difficulty of installing battery cells in a limited space. In particular, when assembling a large number of battery cells, there is a lack of effective positional constraints, which can easily cause them to collide with each other. This not only limits the heat dissipation level within the lithium battery, but also increases the structural burden of the lithium battery itself. Even if the capacity is increased by increasing the number of battery cells, it can also be easily degraded due to abnormal losses. For example, a laminated lithium battery and its assembly method disclosed in announcement number CN111463496B simplifies the assembly process and improves the energy density of the battery compared to the conventional split connecting plate structure of the laminated lithium battery. However, a single connection method is used for the assembly between battery cells, which makes the battery power supply mode single. If a power supply failure occurs after long-term use, it can only be self-protected by power off. The lack of power management experience can easily affect the user experience of the lithium battery.

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.
[0022] Reference Figures 1-15 , an assembled lithium battery, including a battery unit 1 and a number of battery cells 2, and also including a series battery module 3, a parallel battery module 4, a main negative terminal 6, a main positive terminal 7, and a positive pole switching mechanism 8. It should be noted that the main negative terminal 6 is formed by connecting the negative poles of the series battery module 3 and the parallel battery module 4, separating the positive poles of the series battery module 3 and the parallel battery module 4, and providing a main positive terminal 7 that can be assembled and connected with the two positive poles in the battery unit 1. By real-time monitoring of the temperature of the negative poles in the series battery module 3 and the parallel battery module 4, the positive pole switching mechanism 8 can be used to select the appropriate series battery module 3 or parallel battery module 4 to power the battery unit 1.
[0023] The battery unit 1 utilizes a main negative terminal 6 and a main positive terminal 7 as output interfaces. In addition, the battery unit 1 is also provided with an interface for charging the series-connected battery modules 3 or the parallel-connected battery modules 4 .
[0024] The battery unit 1 comprises a main cavity 11 and a lower cavity 12, which extend from top to bottom. The main cavity 11 is used to house the two positive terminals of the series-connected battery module 3 and the parallel-connected battery module 4, and both positive terminals are main positive terminals 7. The lower cavity 12 is used to house the two negative terminals of the main positive terminal 7, and the two negative terminals correspond to the series-connected battery module 3 and the parallel-connected battery module 4, respectively. The battery unit 1 is a square box structure as a whole, preferably a lithium iron phosphate square shell, and heat dissipation is aided by heat dissipation holes and inserted heat sinks. One side is provided with an openable and closable operating window 13. By providing an adjustable explosion-proof glass panel, it is convenient to assemble the battery cells 2 in the box to form the series-connected battery module 3 and the parallel-connected battery module 4, and it also facilitates observation and routine maintenance of the battery unit 1.
[0025] It is worth noting that the number of series battery modules 3 and parallel battery modules 4 is set according to the specifications of the battery unit 1. The two are equal in number and symmetrically arranged in the battery unit 1. When the number of series battery modules 3 and parallel battery modules 4 exceeds three groups, they need to be placed in layers and separated by insulating plates. When connecting the nickel strips, pay attention to uniform routing to avoid local overheating.
[0026] The battery cell 2 includes a first cell 21 and a second cell 22 that form a series battery module 3. The battery cell 2 also includes a third cell 23 and a fourth cell 24 that form a parallel battery module 4. Figure 11 , Attachment Figure 12 By reversely installing the first cell 21 and the second cell 22, the positive electrode of the first cell 21 is connected in series with the negative electrode of the second cell 22. When the number of series battery modules 3 is stacked, the negative electrode of the second cell 22 in the previous group is conductively connected to the negative electrode of the first cell 21 in the next group to form a higher level of series connection; for details, please refer to the attached manual. Figure 13 With attached Figure 14 By arranging and installing the third monomer 23 and the fourth monomer 24, when the number of parallel battery modules 4 is stacked, the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the third monomer 23 and the fourth monomer 24 are conductively connected.
[0027] The positive electrode of the third monomer 23 and the positive electrode of the fourth monomer 24 are arranged in the same direction upward, that is, the first monomer 21 is installed in an inverted manner, the second monomer 22 is installed upright, and the first monomer 21 and the second monomer 22 are connected in series, and the positive electrode of the third monomer 23 and the positive electrode of the fourth monomer 24 are arranged in the same direction upward, that is, the third monomer 23 and the fourth monomer 24 are both installed upright, and the third monomer 23 and the fourth monomer 24 are connected in parallel. By setting a battery monomer 2 connection structure that is both series and parallel, the battery component 1 can be powered differentially by the series battery module 3 and the parallel battery module 4, which not only meets the voltage and capacity requirements at the same time, but also flexibly adjusts the total voltage and total capacity of the lithium battery to adapt to the power requirements of different equipment.
[0028] First, compared to directly using high-voltage or large-capacity battery cells, the series-parallel combination can use standard-specification batteries, reducing procurement costs. The modular design also facilitates maintenance and replacement. Secondly, the parallel battery modules 4 can disperse the current, which helps to reduce the heating pressure of the battery cells 2; the series battery modules 3 cooperate with the thermal management system to control the temperature more evenly and reduce the risk of thermal runaway.
[0029] The series battery module 3 is arranged in the right side of the battery unit 1 through the battery cell 2.

[0030] The positive electrode support plate 312 is fixedly disposed on the first insulating platform 311 .

It should be noted that when the negative electrode elastic support member 313 moves upward, the negative electrode clamping plate 315 can be pulled vertically downward to facilitate the relative positioning and fixing of the first monomer 21 and the second monomer 22 on the first insulating platform 311.
[0035] The first upper support 32 is used to fix the negative electrode of the first monomer 21 and the positive electrode of the second monomer 22, and the second monomer 22 forms a positive electrode port corresponding to the main positive terminal 7 and the positive switching mechanism 8 through the first upper support 32. The first upper support 32 includes a first positive limit plate 321 and a positive conductive plate 322: The first positive limit plate 321 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the main cavity 11, and the negative elastic support part 313 and the first positive limit plate 321 are used to uprightly install the second monomer 22. A countersunk hole corresponding to the positive pole of the second monomer 22 is opened at the middle end of the first positive limit plate 321. When the second monomer 22 is lifted upward by the negative elastic support part 313, the positive pole of the second monomer 22 can be snapped into the countersunk hole.

The parallel battery module 4 includes a second lower support 41 and a second upper support 42: The second lower support 41 is used to fix the negative electrodes of the third cell 23 and the fourth cell 24, and the negative electrodes of the third cell 23 and the fourth cell 24 are conductively connected in parallel to the main negative terminal 6. The second lower support 41 includes a second insulating platform 411, a second sleeve 412, an elastic lifting member 413, a fixed conductive connector 414, and a second conductive head 415: The second insulating platform 411 is fixedly arranged on the left side of the main cavity 11 . By arranging the third and fourth monomers 23 and 24 with the positive poles facing upward on the second insulating platform 411 , a positive pole corresponding to the positive pole of the second monomer 22 is conveniently formed.
[0038] The second sleeve 412 is fixedly disposed in the lower cavity 12 and is used to provide sheath protection for the elastic lifting member 413 , the main negative terminal 6 , the fixed conductive connector 414 , and the second conductive terminal 415 .

[0051] The limit pin 54 is slidably mounted in the first insulating platform 311, and the limit pin 54 and the limit ratchet 53 are movably opposed to each other. During the horizontal movement of the upright second unit 22, the third unit 23 and the fourth unit 24, the guide rack 51 moves vertically downward due to its own gravity, thereby driving the driven gear 52 to rotate.

The central controller 82 pulls the driven piston oblique lifting drive member 88 vertically downward through the active piston member 87 to apply pressure to the elastic wedge telescopic member 89, so that the driving rack 810 moves horizontally, thereby driving the central shaft 811 to rotate.
[0061] The driving rack 810 is integrally connected to the elastic wedge telescopic member 89.

The traction turntable 813 rotates with the central shaft 811 to drive the reciprocating conductive hanging rod 814 to deflect, so that the reciprocating conductive hanging rod 814 can be separated from or connected to the positive port on the second single cell 22 or the third single cell 23, thereby switching and adjusting the power supply mode of the battery component 1.
[0066] The above method can simultaneously meet the needs of high voltage and large capacity, flexibly adapt to the power requirements of different devices, balance the voltage, current and capacity of the battery cell 2, and improve the overall reliability and practicality of the battery unit 1.
[0067] The negative poles of the first cell 21 and the fourth cell 24 are both equipped with a balancing circuit BMS. The overcharge protection voltage of the balancing circuit BMS needs to match the battery cell 2 to avoid using battery cells 2 of different models or with large differences in capacity. The balancing circuit BMS is used to monitor the voltage, temperature and state of the first cell 21, the second cell 22, the third cell 23 and the fourth cell 24 in the battery cell 2, balance the charge and discharge current of the battery cell 2, so that it can achieve equal charging and discharging, prevent overcharging, overdischarging or overheating, and ensure safety and life. Through active or passive balancing technology, the voltage of each cell is balanced to avoid the "short board effect", that is, when the temperature of a battery cell 2 exceeds 60°C, the balancing circuit BMS triggers power-off protection. At this time, the positive pole switching mechanism 8 can be used to select the backup power supply mode for the battery unit 1.
[0068] In addition, by dividing the battery cells 2 into several small modules in the battery unit 1, it is easy to maintain and replace faulty modules, and at the same time, the working mode of the series-parallel circuit is dynamically adjusted to improve the efficiency of the battery unit 1.
[0069] It should be noted that the specific models and specifications of the battery cell 2, temperature sensor 81, central controller 82, first automatic telescopic component 83, and second automatic telescopic component 86 need to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it is not repeated here.
[0070] The present invention can be explained through the following operation mode: The voltage and temperature conditions of the negative electrodes of the series-connected battery module 3 and the parallel-connected battery module 4 are monitored by the balancing circuit BMS. In particular, the temperature sensor 81 is used to monitor the temperature of the negative electrodes of the series-connected battery module 3 and the parallel-connected battery module 4. When the temperature of the negative electrode in the series-connected battery module 3 exceeds a threshold, the central controller 82 controls the first automatic telescopic member 83 to open, causing the lifting bracket 84 to move vertically downward in the main cavity 11, so that the driving rack 810 on the lifting bracket 84 is meshed with the reciprocating gear 812; The central controller 82 controls the second automatic telescopic member 86 to drive the active piston member 87 to move downward, so that the driven piston oblique lifting drive member 88 applies pressure to the elastic wedge telescopic member 89 during the downward movement. The horizontally moving elastic wedge telescopic member 89 drives the reciprocating gear 812 to rotate by driving the rack 810, and the central shaft 811 drives the traction turntable 813 to rotate. The traction turntable 813 drives the reciprocating conductive hanging rod 814 to deflect through the traction bolt, so that the reciprocating conductive hanging rod 814 is disconnected from the positive port of the second single cell 22 and contacts the positive port of the third single cell 23, so as to use the parallel battery module 4 to achieve flexible power supply.
[0071] The above description is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field, within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, who makes equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
