Technical Field

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

[0002] Many battery packs now have one or more explosion-proof valves to balance the internal and external pressures of the battery pack, and can also be used for directional and rapid pressure relief when thermal runaway occurs in the battery pack. However, due to the structural design of the explosion-proof valve and vehicle restrictions, some explosion-proof valves are now set at the front of the vehicle, that is, in the direction of the vehicle's travel. In this way, when the vehicle is moving at a high speed, muddy water and small stones will impact the explosion-proof valve, causing certain damage to the explosion-proof valve. Therefore, it is necessary to design a valve that can not only play a role in diversion and pressure relief, but also weaken the impact of external objects on the valve, thereby ensuring that the battery pack works normally and safely during the vehicle's driving.

[0032] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The directional terms mentioned in the embodiments of the present application, such as "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", "side", "top", "bottom", etc., are only referenced to the directions of the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are for better and clearer explanation and understanding of the embodiments of the present application, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the embodiments of the present application.

[0033] It should be clear that the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0034] The terms used in the embodiments of the present application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit the present application. The singular forms "a", "said" and "the" used in the embodiments of the present application and the appended claims are also intended to include plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates other meanings.

[0035] Nowadays, vehicles widely use battery packs as one of the power sources. Battery packs are high-voltage components, so they have high insulation requirements. The charging and discharging of the battery pack or changes in the temperature and pressure of the battery pack's environment will cause inconsistent pressure inside and outside the battery pack. If the battery pack is completely sealed, it may cause excessive pressure inside the battery pack, causing the sealing cover of the battery pack to rupture, and ultimately affecting the sealing performance of the entire battery pack. Therefore, many battery packs now have one or more explosion-proof valves to balance the internal and external pressures of the battery pack. The explosion-proof valve can also be used for directional and rapid pressure relief when the battery pack has thermal runaway. However, due to the design of the structure of the explosion-proof valve and vehicle restrictions, some explosion-proof valves are now set at the front of the vehicle, that is, the air release port of the explosion-proof valve faces the direction of travel of the vehicle. Therefore, when the vehicle speed is very fast, muddy water and small stones will impact the explosion-proof valve, causing certain damage to the explosion-proof valve, which is not conducive to the battery pack to safely and continuously power the vehicle, and will ultimately affect the safe and long-term driving of the vehicle.
