[0039] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0040] One of the core concepts of the embodiments of the present utility model is to disclose a heat absorption and liquid replenishment structure, which can be used in batteries, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, the battery may include a shell 1 and a pole core 2 arranged in the shell 1, and a heat-absorbing and liquid-replenishing structure 3 is used to be sandwiched between the pole core 2 and the shell 1; the heat-absorbing and liquid-replenishing structure 3 has a spaced heat-absorbing component 31 and a liquid-replenishing component 32, and the liquid-replenishing component 32 contains electrolyte. When the expansion force of the pole core 2 is greater than a preset value, the electrolyte in the liquid-replenishing component 32 flows into the shell 1.
[0041] In the embodiment of the utility model, the heat-absorbing and refilling structure 3 is sandwiched between the pole core 2 and the shell 1. Since the heat-absorbing and refilling structure 3 has a heat-absorbing component 31, during the battery charging process, the heat-absorbing component 31 can absorb the heat generated by the pole core 2, and can also conduct part of the heat to the shell 1. The cooling effect is strong, which can reduce the temperature difference in the pole core 2, reduce the overall temperature rise rate of the battery, achieve temperature balance and low temperature rise, and improve the safety and service life of the battery. In addition, since the heat-absorbing and refilling structure 3 also has a refilling component 32 containing electrolyte, when the expansion force of the pole core 2 is greater than a preset value, the electrolyte in the refilling component 32 can flow into the shell 1, and the electrolyte can be replenished for the battery.
[0042] The battery described in the embodiment of the utility model includes but is not limited to lithium battery, sodium battery, etc. The embodiment of the utility model is only described by taking lithium battery as an example. For example, the phenomenon of electrolyte loss in lithium battery is lithium plating. Lithium plating is a loss condition of lithium-ion battery. Repeated charging at low temperature will damage the battery and reduce the safety of the battery, especially when it is squeezed and impacted by the outside world.
[0043] Specifically, the battery may include a shell 1, a core 2 and a heat-absorbing and liquid-replenishing structure 3. The shell 1 may have a receiving cavity, and the core 2 and the heat-absorbing and liquid-replenishing structure 3 may be disposed in the receiving cavity. Specifically, the core 2 is the main structure of the battery, and the core 2 may be formed by winding an electrode sheet and a diaphragm.
[0044] Specifically, the endothermic liquid replenishment structure 3 can be sandwiched between the pole core 2 and the shell 1, and the endothermic liquid replenishment structure 3 can be connected to the pole core 2 or the shell 1. During the charging process of the battery, the temperature of the middle area of the pole core 2 rises. Since the endothermic liquid replenishment structure 3 has a heat absorbing member 31, the heat absorbing member 31 can absorb the heat of the pole core 2. At the same time, the heat absorbing member 31 can also conduct part of the heat to the shell 1 for heat dissipation. In this way, the pole core 2 can be cooled down, thereby reducing the temperature difference in the pole core 2, reducing the overall temperature rise rate of the battery, and avoiding the problem of excessive local current at the edge of the pole core 2 causing electrolyte loss.
[0045] Optionally, the heat absorbing member 31 may be a rigid structural member made of metal material and having heat absorbing capability, or may be a deformable structure having a cavity for accommodating a phase change material.
[0046] Specifically, the heat-absorbing and refilling structure 3 also has a refilling part 32, and the refilling part 32 contains electrolyte. Furthermore, during the cycle of the battery, the pole core 2 expands periodically. In the early stage of the expansion of the pole core 2, the pole core 2 is evenly compressed, which can avoid the problem of electrolyte loss caused by the deformity of the edge area of the pole core 2 due to force; in the late stage of the expansion of the pole core 2, the expansion force of the pole core 2 is greater than the preset value, and the preset value can be set according to actual needs. The pole core 2 squeezes the heat-absorbing and refilling structure 3. When the expansion force of the pole core 2 is greater than the preset value, the refilling part 32 is broken, and the electrolyte in the refilling part 32 can flow into the shell 1 from the crack, which can replenish the electrolyte and improve the cycle performance of the battery.
[0047] Optionally, the liquid replenishing member 32 is provided with a notch 35, and the notch 35 forms a crack when the expansion force of the pole core is greater than a preset value.
[0048] In the embodiment of the utility model, a notch 35 is provided on the heat absorption and liquid replenishment structure 3, so that the notch 35 of the heat absorption and liquid replenishment structure 3 is a weak point under stress. After the pole core 2 is expanded and squeezed, the heat absorption and liquid replenishment structure 3 can be cracked at the notch 35, so that the liquid replenishment component 32 can form a crack here, so that the electrolyte in the heat absorption component 31 can flow into the shell 1 to replenish the electrolyte.
[0049] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, the notch 35 may be in the shape of a long strip, or the notch 35 may be in the shape of an arc.
[0050] Optionally, the heat absorption member 31 may include a heat absorption chamber 311 , and a heat absorption medium may be contained in the heat absorption chamber 311 , so as to absorb and conduct heat through the heat absorption medium, thereby cooling the pole core 2 .
[0051] Optionally, the heat absorbing medium can be made of phase change material, and the heat absorbing element 31 can change between solid and liquid. The heat absorbing element 31 can change from solid to liquid after absorbing heat, and can change from liquid to solid after releasing heat.
[0052] Optionally, the heat absorption medium includes at least one of paraffin, expanded graphite, graphene, conductive carbon black, and conductive carbon tubes, which can improve the heat absorption capacity and thermal conductivity of the heat absorption component 31, effectively improve the cooling effect on the pole core 2, achieve temperature balance and low temperature rise, and help to extend the service life of the battery.
[0053] Specifically, the heat absorbing element 31 may include a phase change material selected from the group consisting of paraffin, expanded graphite, graphene, conductive carbon black, and conductive carbon tubes, or the heat absorbing element 31 may include two or more phase change materials selected from the group consisting of paraffin, expanded graphite, graphene, conductive carbon black, and conductive carbon tubes.
[0054] Specifically, the thermal conductivity of the phase change material is much higher than that of the air. In the embodiment of the utility model, the phase change material is used for heat absorption, which can absorb most of the heat, facilitate the balance of the temperature field in the pole core 2, and reduce the loss of the electrolyte. For example, the thermal conductivity of graphene can reach 3000-5000W / (m·K), while the thermal conductivity of air is 0.01-0.04w / (m·K).
[0055] Specifically, when the heat absorption element 31 contains a mixture of at least two phase change materials, for example, the thermal conductivity of graphene can reach 3000-5000 W / (m·K), and the specific heat capacity of paraffin can reach 2.1-2.4 J / g℃. Both graphene and paraffin can play the role of heat conduction and heat absorption. When assembling the heat absorption and fluid replenishment structure and the pole core 2, the graphene layer can be arranged between the pole core 2 and the paraffin layer, so that the graphene layer can mainly play the role of heat conduction, and the paraffin layer can mainly play the role of heat absorption.
[0056] Optionally, the total number of heat absorbing components 31 and liquid replenishing components 32 can be greater than or equal to three, and the heat absorbing components 31 and liquid replenishing components 32 can be arranged alternately, so as to improve the distribution uniformity of the heat absorbing components 31, facilitate the heat absorbing components 31 to cool down the pole core 2, ensure the temperature balance of the pole core 2, reduce the temperature difference in the pole core 2, and thereby avoid the problem of lithium deposition in the pole core 2 due to excessive local current at the edge.

[0059] Optionally, the first base film 312 is connected to the pole core 2 to fix the position of the heat absorption element 31, which can improve the reliability of the heat absorption element 31 in absorbing and conducting heat to the pole core 2, thereby ensuring the stability of cooling the pole core 2.
[0060] Optionally, the first base film 312 may include at least one of a PP film, a PE film, a PET film, and a PVC film, which can improve the reliability of the first base film 312 encapsulating the heat absorbing medium.
[0061] Specifically, after the first base film 312 is packaged and closed, the heat absorbing medium can be directly sealed in the heat absorbing element 31, and the heat absorbing cavity 311 is a closed cavity. The packaging method of the first base film 312 can be heat sealing.

[0063] In some other optional embodiments of the present invention, the liquid replenishing member 32 has a second base film 322, and the second base film 322 can be used to encapsulate the electrolyte in the liquid replenishing member 32, so as to facilitate the storage of the electrolyte.
[0064] Optionally, the second base film 322 is connected to the pole core 2 to fix the position of the liquid replenishing member 32 and improve the reliability of replenishing the electrolyte to the battery.
[0065] Optionally, the second base film 322 may include at least one of a PP film, a PE film, a PET film, and a PVC film, which can improve the reliability of the second base film 322 encapsulating the electrolyte in the liquid replenishing member 32 .
[0066] Specifically, after the second base film 322 is sealed and closed, a sealed liquid replenishing cavity 321 can be formed to seal the electrolyte in the liquid replenishing member 32. The second base film 322 can be packaged by heat sealing.
[0067] Optionally, the first base film 312 and the second base film 322 may be integrally formed, so that the heat absorption and fluid replenishment structure 3 may be an integral structure, which may improve the reliability of installation and fixation of the heat absorption and fluid replenishment structure 3 .
[0068] Optionally, the first base film 312 and the second base film 322 may also be independently provided, so that the heat absorption component 31 and the liquid replenishing component 32 may be independent structural components.
[0069] Specifically, when the heat absorption component 31 includes the first base film 312 , the liquid replenishing component 32 may include the second base film 322 , or may not include the second base film 322 ; when the liquid replenishing component 32 includes the second base film 322 , the heat absorption component 31 may also not include the first base film 312 .

The cooling effect is strong, and the temperature difference in the pole core can be reduced, and the overall temperature rise rate of the battery can be reduced. The effect of temperature balance and low temperature rise can be achieved, and the safety and service life of the battery can be improved. In addition, since the heat-absorbing and refilling structure also has a refilling component containing electrolyte, when the expansion force on the pole core is greater than a preset value, the electrolyte in the refilling component can flow into the shell, and the electrolyte can be replenished for the battery.
