Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of battery technology, and in particular to a battery pack and an electric vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Electric vehicles usually use lithium battery packs as a power source. Due to the limitations of the body structure of electric vehicles, battery packs are mostly installed on the chassis of electric vehicles. Since seats are usually installed above the chassis, if the battery pack catches fire or explodes, it will directly affect the safety of passengers. Therefore, the safety of the battery pack is crucial to the development of electric vehicles.

[0003] In the related art, the largest surface of the battery cells in the battery pack is directed toward the chassis to reduce the impact force on the largest surface of the battery cells in the battery pack during a car collision, thereby improving the safety of the battery pack. Since a liquid cooling plate is usually provided in the battery pack near the chassis, cooling water is passed into the liquid cooling plate, which has a better cooling effect on the battery cells in the lower layer of the battery pack. The cooling effect of the battery cells in the upper layer of the battery pack is relatively general, making the battery cells in the upper layer of the battery pack more susceptible to thermal runaway. When the battery cells in the upper layer of the battery pack experience thermal runaway, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas ejected from the battery cells is likely to be ejected from above the battery pack, directly affecting the safety of passengers.

[0035] Before any embodiments of the application are explained in detail, it is to be understood that the application is not limited in its application to the details of construction and the arrangement of components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the above drawings.

[0036] In this application, the terms "comprises", "includes", "has" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device that includes a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of more restrictions, an element defined by the sentence "comprises a ..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device that includes the element.

[0037] In this application, the term "and / or" is a description of the association relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this application generally indicates that the related objects before and after are in an "and / or" relationship.

[0038] In the present application, the terms "connect", "combine", "couple", and "install" may refer to direct connection, combination, coupling, or installation, or indirect connection, combination, coupling, or installation. For example, direct connection refers to two parts or components being connected together without the need for an intermediate piece, and indirect connection refers to two parts or components being connected to at least one intermediate piece respectively, and the two parts or components being connected via the intermediate piece. In addition, "connect" and "couple" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections or couplings, and may include electrical connections or couplings.

[0039] In the present application, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that relative terms (e.g., "about," "approximately," "substantially," etc.) used in conjunction with quantities or conditions include the values ​​and have the meaning indicated by the context. For example, the relative terms include at least the degree of error associated with the measurement of a specific value, the tolerances caused by manufacturing, assembly, and use associated with a specific value, and the like. Such terms should also be considered to disclose a range defined by the absolute values ​​of the two endpoints. Relative terms may refer to plus or minus a certain percentage (e.g., 1%, 5%, 10% or more) of the indicated value. Numerical values ​​that do not use relative terms should also be disclosed as specific values ​​with tolerances. In addition, "substantially" may refer to plus or minus a certain degree (e.g., 1 degree, 5 degrees, 10 degrees or more) on the basis of the indicated angle when expressing a relative angular position relationship (e.g., substantially parallel, substantially perpendicular).

[0040] In this application, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the function performed by a component can be performed by one component, multiple components, one part, or multiple parts. Similarly, the function performed by a part can also be performed by one part, one component, or a combination of multiple parts.

[0041] In the present application, the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "back" and other directional words are described based on the orientation and positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and should not be understood as limiting the embodiments of the present application. In addition, in the context, it is also necessary to understand that when it is mentioned that an element is connected to another element "upper" or "lower", it can not only be directly connected to another element "upper" or "lower", but also indirectly connected to another element "upper" or "lower" through an intermediate element. It should also be understood that directional words such as upper side, lower side, left side, right side, front side, back side, etc. not only represent the positive orientation, but can also be understood as the lateral orientation. For example, the bottom can include directly below, lower left, lower right, lower front, and lower back, etc.

[0042] Figure 1 An electric vehicle provided in this embodiment is shown, including a chassis 100, an electric drive system, an electric control system and a battery pack 200. The battery pack 200 is installed on the chassis 100. The battery pack 200 is used to provide electric energy to the electric drive system and the electric control system. The electric control system is used to receive the driver's operation signal and cooperate with the electric drive system to drive the electric vehicle.

[0043] In the related art, the largest surface of the battery cells in the battery pack is directed toward the chassis to reduce the impact force on the largest surface of the battery cells in the battery pack during a car collision, thereby improving the safety of the battery pack. Since a liquid cooling plate is usually provided in the battery pack near the chassis, cooling water is passed into the liquid cooling plate, which has a better cooling effect on the battery cells in the lower layer of the battery pack. The cooling effect of the battery cells in the upper layer of the battery pack is relatively general, making the battery cells in the upper layer of the battery pack more susceptible to thermal runaway. When the battery cells in the upper layer of the battery pack experience thermal runaway, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas ejected from the battery cells is likely to be ejected from above the battery pack, directly affecting the safety of passengers.

[0044] Based on the above problems, this embodiment further provides a battery pack 200, which can prevent high-temperature and high-pressure gas from spraying out from above the battery pack 200 when thermal runaway occurs in the battery pack 200, thereby improving the safety of the electric vehicle.

[0045] For the convenience of description, in the following, the plane formed by the first direction and the second direction is parallel to the surface where the chassis 100 is located, and the first direction is along the length direction of the electric vehicle, and the second direction is along the width direction of the electric vehicle; the height direction is perpendicular to the surface where the chassis 100 is located, and the height direction is consistent with the thickness direction of the battery cell, and the thickness direction of the battery cell is perpendicular to the largest surface of the battery cell, and the plane formed by the first direction and the second direction is parallel to the largest surface of the battery cell. Of course, it can be understood that in other embodiments, the first direction is along the width direction of the electric vehicle, and the second direction is along the length direction of the electric vehicle.

[0046] Figure 2 FIG. 2 shows an exploded schematic diagram of a battery pack 200 provided in this embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, the battery pack 200 includes a box body 1, a battery module 2 and a heat-resistant component 3. The battery module 2 is composed of a plurality of battery cells 211. Several battery modules 2 are arranged in a first direction in the box body 1. A heat-resistant component 3 is provided between adjacent battery modules 2. The heat-resistant component 3 is used to reduce the mutual influence between adjacent battery modules 2 and improve the stability and safety of the battery pack 200.

[0047] When the battery pack 200 is installed on the chassis 100 of the electric vehicle, the largest surface of the box body 1 faces the chassis 100 of the electric vehicle, which facilitates the installation of the battery pack 200 and can fully utilize the space on the chassis 100 to improve space utilization.

[0048] In order to facilitate the assembly of the battery pack 200, the case 1 includes a first shell 11 and a second shell 12 that are sealed together, and the largest surface of the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 is the largest surface of the case 1. In some embodiments, the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 can be sealed by setting a sealing gasket between the mating surfaces to achieve sealing between the two. In other embodiments, the mating surfaces of the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 can also be sealed by filling the sealant. The case 1 is preferably a casting, specifically, the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are both castings, which is not only convenient for processing and low in cost, but also has high structural strength, good stability and long service life.

[0049] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the assembly of the heat-resistant component 3 and the box body 1, a plurality of first support beams 111 spaced along the first direction are provided on the largest surface of the first shell 11, and a second support beam (not shown in the figure) corresponding to the first support beam 111 is provided on the largest surface of the second shell 12, and the two ends of the heat-resistant component 3 are respectively fixed on the first support beam 111 and the second support beam. Further, mounting grooves 32 are provided on the top and bottom surfaces of the heat-resistant component 3, and the heat-resistant component 3 and the first support beam 111 and the second support beam can be connected at the mounting grooves 32 by fasteners or raised columns 1111. In some embodiments, the number of mounting grooves 32 on the heat-resistant component 3 is multiple, and the number of raised columns 1111 on the first support beam 111 and the second support beam is also multiple, and they are arranged one-to-one corresponding to the mounting grooves 32.

[0050] Figure 3 FIG. 2 shows an exploded schematic diagram of a battery cell 211 provided in this embodiment. Figure 3 As shown, the battery cell 211 includes a shell 2111, a battery cell, an end cover and an explosion-proof valve 2113. The battery cell is arranged in the shell 2111, the end cover is sealed on the opening of the shell 2111, and the explosion-proof valve 2113 is installed on the end cover. The explosion-proof valve 2113 is used to eject high-temperature and high-pressure gas, flames, and ignited particles from the explosion-proof valve 2113 when thermal runaway occurs in the battery cell 211. In some embodiments, the battery cell is formed by winding a positive electrode sheet, a separator, and a negative electrode sheet, and the separator is an insulating separator.

[0051] Figure 4 FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of an exploded view of the internal structure of the battery pack 200 provided in this embodiment in one case. Figure 4As shown, in the box body 1, a plurality of battery modules 2 are arranged along a first direction, and the battery module 2 includes a plurality of layers of battery packs 21 stacked along a height direction, and each layer of battery pack 21 is composed of a plurality of battery cells 211 arranged along a second direction. The first direction and the second direction are both arranged parallel to the maximum surface of the box body 1, and the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other, and the height direction is arranged perpendicular to the maximum surface of the box body 1, so as to ensure that the maximum surface of the battery cell 211 in the battery module 2 is parallel to the chassis 100, reduce the collision force borne by the maximum surface of the battery cell 211, and improve the safety of the electric vehicle.

[0052] A heat-resistant component 3 is provided between two adjacent battery modules 2. The heat-resistant component 3 includes a plurality of heat-resistant parts 31 arranged along the height direction. The heat-resistant parts 31 are arranged opposite to the battery pack 21. Among all the heat-resistant parts 31, the heat-resistant part 31 close to the chassis 100 has a lower heat resistance than the other heat-resistant parts 31. In this way, when the battery pack 200 has thermal runaway, the heat-resistant part 31 with lower heat resistance will melt first, so that the high-temperature and high-pressure gas will flow to the heat-resistant part 31 with lower heat resistance first, thereby preventing the high-temperature and high-pressure gas from flowing to the top of the battery pack 200, reducing the impact of the high-temperature and high-pressure gas on passengers, and improving the safety of the electric vehicle.

[0053] Figure 5 FIG. 2 shows a partial structural diagram of a heat-resistant component 3 provided in an embodiment. Figure 5 As shown, in one heat-resistant component 3, the side of the heat-resistant portion 31 close to the chassis 100 facing the explosion-proof valve 2113 of the battery pack 21 has a concave curved surface, and the side of the other heat-resistant portions 31 facing the explosion-proof valve 2113 of the battery pack 21 has a convex curved surface. In this way, the heat resistance of the heat-resistant portion 31 close to the chassis 100 can be lower than that of the other heat-resistant portions 31. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of heat-resistant portions 31 in one heat-resistant component 3 can also be three, four, five or more, and no examples are given here.

[0054] Furthermore, when both sides of the heat-resistant component 3 face the explosion-proof valve 2113 of the battery pack 21, the curved shapes of the two sides of the heat-resistant portion 31 are the same. The symmetrical shape of the heat-resistant component 3 is not only easy to process, but also can improve the structural strength of the heat-resistant component 3.

[0055] In addition, the concave and convex surfaces of the heat-resistant portion 31 can form a channel extending along the second direction. When the battery pack 200 experiences thermal runaway, high-temperature and high-pressure gas can be discharged from the channel, reducing the impact of the high-temperature and high-pressure gas on other battery cells 211.

[0056] Figure 6 FIG. 2 shows a partial structural diagram of another heat-resistant component 3 provided in the embodiment. Figure 6As shown, the thickness of the heat-resistant part 31 close to the chassis 100 is less than that of the remaining heat-resistant parts 31. With such a setting, the heat resistance of the heat-resistant part 31 close to the chassis 100 can be made less than that of the remaining heat-resistant parts 31. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of heat-resistant parts 31 in a heat-resistant member 3 can also be three, four, five or any number above, and no further examples will be given here. It can be understood that the heat-resistant member 3 can be an integral structure, as long as the thickness or shape of the heat-resistant member 3 is different, and the heat resistance of the heat-resistant part 31 close to the bottom of the battery pack in the heat-resistant member 3 is less than that of the remaining heat-resistant parts 31, which is not limited here.

[0057] Further, in a heat-resistant member 3, on one side of all heat-resistant parts 31 facing the explosion-proof valve 2113 of the battery pack 21, there are all U-shaped recesses, and the openings of the U-shaped recesses face the explosion-proof valve 2113 of the battery pack 21.

[0058] In addition, the U-shaped recesses of the heat-resistant parts 31 can all form channels extending in the second direction. When the battery pack 200 undergoes thermal runaway, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas can be discharged from this channel, reducing the impact of the high-temperature and high-pressure gas on other battery cells 211.

[0059] Furthermore, the heat-resistant member 3 includes a split structure composed of multiple split parts. The heat-resistant part 31 includes split parts, and the heat resistance of the split parts is different; that is, different heat-resistant parts are prepared with different materials and then assembled.

[0060] The heat-resistant member 3 is made of a fireproof material; or the heat-resistant member 3 is made of a metal material, and the heat-resistant member 3 has a fireproof coating to improve the fire resistance of the heat-resistant member 3. In some embodiments, the heat-resistant member 3 is made of a fireproof material such as mica and can withstand flames or high temperatures above 500 °C. In other embodiments, the fireproof member can also be made of metal materials such as steel and aluminum alloy, and then a refractory material coating layer is coated on the surface of the heat-resistant member 3, which can withstand the high-speed impact of high-temperature gases, particulate matter, etc. ejected during the thermal runaway of the battery cell 211. It can be understood that as long as the heat resistance of the heat-resistant part 31 close to the bottom of the battery pack in the heat-resistant member 3 is less than that of the remaining heat-resistant parts 31, which is not limited here.

[0061] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present application. Those skilled in the art of this industry should understand that the above embodiments do not limit the present application in any form. Any technical solutions obtained by using equivalent replacements or equivalent transformations fall within the protection scope of the present application.
