During the cycling process of the battery cells, the battery cells will expand. In this way, only one side of the battery cells near the end plate has an expansion space, while both sides of the battery cells near the middle position have expansion spaces. This will cause the attenuation of the battery cells near the end plate side to be much faster than that of the battery cells in the middle position, thereby shortening the cycling life of the module and the battery pack.

[0032] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0033] Such as Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, in a first aspect, an embodiment of the present utility model provides an insulating member, which includes: an insulating plate 10, the insulating plate 10 includes a main body 11 and a convex portion 12, convex portions 12 are provided at both ends of the main body 11, and an installation portion is jointly formed between one side of the main body 11 close to the convex portion 12 and the two convex portions 12; a heat insulation plate 20, which is arranged in the installation portion, and the height of the side of the heat insulation plate 20 away from the main body 11 is lower than the height of the side of the convex portion 12 away from the main body 11.

[0034] Applying the technical solution of the present utility model, the heat insulation plate 20 is arranged in the installation portion, and the height of the side of the heat insulation plate 20 away from the main body 11 is lower than the height of the side of the convex portion 12 away from the main body 11. With such a setting, when the side of the convex portion 12 away from the main body 11 is connected to the battery cell 40 through the fixing member 30, there is a gap between the heat insulation plate 20 and the battery cell 40. After the battery cell 40 on the side close to the end plate 50 expands, it can make the side of the battery cell 40 close to the end plate 50 have an expansion space, so as to ensure that there is an expansion space on both sides of the battery cell 40 close to the end plate 50. In this way, the attenuation of the battery cell 40 on the side close to the end plate 50 is the same as that of the battery cell 40 in the middle position, so as to ensure the attenuation consistency of the battery cell 40, which is beneficial to extending the cycle life of the module and the battery pack.

[0035] In this application, the fixing member 30 is specifically a double-sided adhesive tape, because the double-sided adhesive tape has:

[0036] 1. Strong adhesion: The double-sided adhesive tape has excellent adhesion, so it can ensure the connection strength when the insulating member is connected to the battery cell 40 and the end plate 50.

[0037] 2. Simple operation: In this application, only one side of the double-sided adhesive tape needs to be attached to the insulating plate 10, and the other side only needs to be attached to the battery cell 40 or the end plate 50 during installation. Compared with other adhesives, such as liquid glue or hot melt adhesive, the double-sided adhesive tape does not require additional tools or equipment, reducing the operation difficulty, which is beneficial to improving the disassembly and assembly efficiency between components.

[0038] 3. High aesthetic degree: The bonding surface of the double-sided adhesive tape is usually relatively flat, which can keep the bonded materials clean and beautiful. At the same time, there are various choices for the color and thickness of the double-sided adhesive tape, which can be matched according to specific needs to improve the overall aesthetic degree.

[0039] 4. Low cost: Compared with other adhesives, the price of the double-sided adhesive tape is usually more affordable, making it have a higher cost performance. In addition, the service life of the double-sided adhesive tape is longer, which can reduce the storage cost and production cost of materials.

[0040] 5. Good environmental protection: With the improvement of environmental protection awareness, more and more double-sided adhesive tape products begin to be made of environmentally friendly materials, reducing environmental pollution.

[0041] Specifically, a convex portion 12 is provided on one side of the insulating member disposed between the end plate 50 and the battery cell 40. The insulating member further includes a fixing member 30. The fixing member 30 is provided on the side of the main body 11 away from the convex portion 12, and the fixing member 30 is provided on the side of the convex portion 12 away from the main body 11; wherein, the side of the main body 11 away from the convex portion 12 is fixedly connected to the battery end plate 50 through the fixing member 30.

[0042] The side of the convex portion 12 away from the main body 11 is connected to the battery cell 40 through the fixing member 30. The height difference between the side of the heat insulation plate 20 away from the main body 11 and the side of the fixing member 30 located on the convex portion 12 away from the main body 11 is H1, and 0 mm < H1 ≤ 3 mm. When H1 > 3 mm, the height difference between the side of the heat insulation plate 20 away from the main body 11 and the side of the fixing member 30 located on the convex portion 12 away from the main body 11 is too large, which will cause the gap between the heat insulation plate 20 and the battery cell 40 to be too large, thus being unfavorable for the heat insulation plate 20 to insulate the battery cell 40 and reducing the heat insulation effect of the heat insulation plate 20. Therefore, setting 0 mm < H1 ≤ 3 mm can ensure the heat insulation effect of the heat insulation plate 20, and at the same time can also ensure that the battery cell 40 close to the end plate 50 has a certain expansion space. Optionally, H1 can be set to 1 mm, 2 mm or 3 mm, etc. The specific setting should be selected according to the use environment of the device, so as to improve the applicable range of the device.

[0043] Further, the thickness of the heat insulation plate 20 is H2, and 0 mm < H2 ≤ 2 mm. When H2 > 2 mm, the thickness of the heat insulation plate 20 is too thick, which will increase the materials required for production, thus increasing the production cost of the structure and being not conducive to the mass production of the device. Therefore, setting 0 mm < H2 ≤ 2 mm can not only ensure the heat insulation effect of the heat insulation plate 20, but also reduce the production cost of the component.

[0044] Specifically, the fixing member 30 on the side of the main body 11 away from the convex portion 12 covers the main body 11. With this setting, the contact area between the insulating member and the end plate 50 can be increased, thereby improving the connection strength between the insulating member and the end plate 50 and being beneficial to ensuring the stability during the operation of the device.

[0045] Further, the main body 11 and the convex portion 12 are of a split structure. In this application, the main body 11 is a pc board, and the convex portion 12 is a pc strip. Pc is polycarbonate, which is a thermoplastic engineering plastic with high mechanical properties, optical properties, electrical properties and thermal properties. Its molecular chain contains a carbonate group. According to the different ester groups in the molecular structure, it can be divided into various types such as aliphatic, alicyclic, aliphatic-aromatic type, etc. Among them, the aromatic polycarbonate with practical value is the most important, and the bisphenol A type polycarbonate is the most important.

[0046] PC materials have excellent heat resistance and a relatively high heat distortion temperature, enabling them to withstand high-temperature environments. The maximum temperature they can withstand may vary according to different records, but generally can reach 140°C or even 160°C. Therefore, the stability of the device during operation can be ensured.

[0047] Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the main body 11 and the protruding portion 12 can also be set as an integrally formed structure, as long as the usage requirements of the device can be met. At the same time, the materials of the main body 11 and the protruding portion 12 can also be set as pp. PP material, that is, polypropylene, is a thermoplastic synthetic resin with excellent performance and is a colorless, translucent thermoplastic lightweight general-purpose plastic. It has the following remarkable characteristics:

[0048] 1. Lightweight: The density of PP material is relatively low, so it is light in weight, which gives PP material an advantage in applications that require lightweighting.

[0049] 2. Heat resistance: PP material has good heat resistance and can withstand high temperatures without being easily melted or deformed, which enables it to maintain stable performance in high-temperature environments.

[0050] 3. Corrosion resistance: PP material has good corrosion resistance to many chemical substances and solvents, so it can maintain stable performance in a variety of harsh environments.

[0051] 4. Electrical properties: PP material has excellent electrical insulation properties and is suitable for applications in the electrical and electronic fields.

[0052] In addition, PP material also has high-strength mechanical properties and good high-wear resistance processing properties. Therefore, it can meet the usage requirements of the device.

[0053] Specifically, the heat insulation board 20 includes foam or aerogel. Among them, the foam can be made of materials such as silicone foam, MPP foam or XPP foam. Silicone foam is a foam sponge-like silicone material formed by the foaming of polysiloxane and has excellent characteristics such as high flame retardancy, aging resistance, super waterproofness, super dustproofness, lightweight, insulation, and resistance to high and low temperatures. Its service life is 3 to 5 times that of traditional foam materials, and it is also significantly superior to traditional foam materials in terms of comfort, foam density and environmental protection. Silicone foam is widely used in the sealing of lithium battery boxes and the shock absorption of the bottom of new energy vehicle boxes, the shock absorption materials of the liquid cooling system of new energy vehicles, the support and shock absorption of the floating floors of high-speed trains, the lightweight sealing materials of aerospace, and the sealing of instruments and meters such as 5G signal towers. In addition, in the construction field, silicone foam is widely used due to its excellent sound insulation, earthquake resistance and waterproof performance.

[0054] MPP foam, namely polypropylene microcellular foaming material, has cell sizes less than 100 microns, and more strictly defined as cell sizes less than 10 microns, with a cell density greater than 10 to the 9th power per cubic centimeter. Due to its characteristics such as light weight, heat insulation, sound absorption, shock resistance, corrosion resistance, and low thermal conductivity, MPP foam has a wide range of applications in various industrial products, consumer goods, and building materials.

[0055] Aerogel is a new type of nano-porous solid material. The combined volume of all its pores accounts for the vast majority of the entire aerogel volume, even reaching more than 99%. This material has special microstructural characteristics such as a high specific surface area, a high porosity, nano-scale pores, and a low density. At the same time, it has stable chemical properties, a low thermal conductivity, high temperature resistance, high elasticity, strong adsorption, good waterproof effect, a wide operating temperature range, and a long lifespan.

[0056] There are various preparation methods for aerogel, including the sol-gel method, supercritical drying method, gel casting method, vacuum impregnation method, and chemical vapor deposition method, etc. Among them, the sol-gel method is one of the most commonly used methods. The supercritical drying method can effectively prevent the shrinkage of the sol-gel and the collapse of the pore channels, obtaining a highly porous aerogel.

[0057] The application fields of aerogel are very extensive. In environmental governance, it can be used in oil-water separation, water treatment, air purification and other fields, such as treating industrial wastewater and purifying harmful substances in indoor air. In sound wave isolation, due to its pore structure and low density, aerogel can be used to manufacture sound insulation panels, sound processing equipment, etc. In addition, aerogel can be combined with other materials to manufacture lightweight composite materials for use in the automotive, aerospace and other fields to reduce the weight of the materials. In the protection of electronic devices, aerogel can be used to reduce the impact of temperature changes and vibrations on electronic devices. In the biomedical field, aerogel can be applied to drug sustained release, tissue engineering, artificial organs, etc.

[0058] Therefore, selecting the above materials for the heat insulation plate 20 can not only meet the heat insulation function of the battery cell 40, reduce the heat transfer from the battery cell 40 to the end plate 50, improve the temperature difference between the battery cell 40 on the end plate 50 side and the middle battery cell 40 of the module, but also reduce the production cost of the component.

[0059] Specifically, the extension length of the convex portion 12 along the width direction of the body 11 is less than or equal to the width of the body 11. Such a setting can not only enable the convex portion 12 to meet the usage requirements of the insulating part, but also reduce the materials required for the production of the convex portion 12 to a certain extent. Therefore, it can reduce the production cost of the component and is conducive to the mass production of the component.

[0060] Furthermore, the protruding portion 12 includes a multi-segment structure and is arranged at intervals in the width direction of the main body 11, or the protruding portion 12 is an integrally formed structure. With this arrangement, the structure of the protruding portion 12 can be set according to the insulating part in different environments, thereby improving the applicability and scope of application of the insulating part.

[0061] Specifically, protruding portions 12 are provided on both sides of the insulating part disposed between two adjacent battery cells 40. The insulating part further includes a fixing member 30, and the fixing member 30 is provided on the side of the protruding portion 12 away from the main body 11. By providing the above structure, when the battery cell 40 expands, the insulating part can timely provide an expansion space for the battery cell 40, so as to absorb part of the expansion force of the battery cell 40, reduce the probability of structural damage of the insulating part, and further extend the service life of the insulating part.

[0062] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a battery module, which includes: a battery cell 40 assembly including a plurality of battery cells 40 arranged at intervals; two end plates 50 respectively disposed at both ends of the battery cell 40 assembly; and the above-mentioned insulating part, and an insulating part is disposed between the end plate 50 and the battery cell 40 assembly.

[0063] Furthermore, the battery module further includes a heat insulation member 60, and the heat insulation member 60 is disposed between the end plate 50 and the battery cell 40 and / or between two adjacent battery cells 40. With this arrangement, the heat insulation effect of the battery cell 40 can be ensured, which is beneficial to maintaining the stability during the operation of the device.

[0064] Specifically, the heat insulation member 60 includes: a heat insulation sheet 61; an insulating sheet 62, and insulating sheets 62 are disposed on both sides of the heat insulation sheet 61 corresponding to the battery cell 40, and the insulating sheets 62 are located at both ends of each side of the heat insulation sheet 61, and a connecting member 63 is provided on the side of the insulating sheet 62 away from the heat insulation sheet 61; wherein, the heat insulation member 60 is connected to two adjacent battery cells 40 through the connecting member 63.

[0065] In an embodiment, the sum of the height of the insulating sheet 62 and the connecting member 63 on the same side is H3, and 0 mm < H3 ≤ 3 mm, and the height of the heat insulation sheet 61 is H4, and 1 mm ≤ H4 ≤ 4 mm. In the present application, H1 is equal to H3. With this arrangement, it can be ensured that the expansion spaces on both sides of the battery cell 40 close to the end plate 50 are the same as those on both sides of the battery cell 40 located in the middle position, which is beneficial to extending the cycle life of the device.

[0066] Further, the heat insulation member 60 disposed between the end plate 50 and the battery cell 40 includes: a heat insulation sheet 61; an insulating sheet 62. Insulating sheets 62 are disposed at both ends of the heat insulation sheet 61 on the side corresponding to the battery cell 40. Connecting members 63 are disposed on the side of the insulating sheet 62 away from the heat insulation sheet 61 and on the side of the heat insulation sheet 61 close to the end plate 50. With such a setting, not only can the stability of the connection between the heat insulation member 60 and the end plate 50 be ensured, but also an expansion space can be provided for the battery cell 40, so that part of the expansion force of the battery cell 40 can be absorbed, thereby reducing the probability of structural damage to the heat insulation member 60, and further extending the service life of the heat insulation member 60.

[0067] In this application, in order to ensure that the expansion spaces of all the battery cells 40 in the battery module at the end of the service life are the same, it is necessary to ensure that the thickness H3 of the heat insulation plate 20 of the insulating sheet 62 at the end of the service life * the compression rate Y% of the heat insulation plate 20 = half of the thickness of the heat insulation member 60 H4 / 2 * the compression rate X% of the heat insulation sheet 61.

[0068] Applying the technical solution of the present utility model, the heat insulation plate 20 is disposed in the installation portion, and the height of the side of the heat insulation plate 20 away from the main body 11 is lower than the height of the side of the convex portion 12 away from the main body 11. With such a setting, after the side of the convex portion 12 away from the main body 11 is connected to the battery cell 40 through the fixing member 30, there is a gap between the heat insulation plate 20 and the battery cell 40. After the battery cell 40 on the side close to the end plate 50 expands, an expansion space can be provided on the side of the battery cell 40 close to the end plate 50, so that expansion spaces can be ensured on both sides of the battery cell 40 close to the end plate 50. In this way, the attenuation of the battery cell 40 on the side close to the end plate 50 tends to be the same as the attenuation of the battery cell 40 at the middle position, so that the attenuation consistency of the battery cell 40 can be ensured, which is beneficial to extending the cycle life of the module and the battery pack.
