[0002] In the case of a relatively high ambient temperature, the energy storage device or the battery device is heated by various heat sources such as direct sunlight and ground heat radiation and thus the temperature rises. Currently, the energy storage device or the battery device generally mainly uses a thermal management system to dissipate heat from the battery device or battery cells therein, and this method consumes a large amount of energy. At the same time, in order to balance the requirements of heat dissipation in summer and heat preservation in winter, the design of the thermal management system of the energy storage device or the battery device is relatively complex, which may occupy more space, and thus may reduce the energy density of the energy storage device or the battery device. And if the power of the thermal management system is insufficient, it may lead to a decrease in the reliability of the energy storage device or the battery device.
[0003] Therefore, how to improve the reliability of the energy storage device or the electrical device has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Utility Model

The first heat-reflecting layer is disposed on the side of the second wall away from the receiving cavity. The second heat-reflecting layer is disposed on the side of the plurality of first walls facing the receiving cavity.

On the other hand, the second heat-reflecting layer is disposed on the side of the plurality of first walls of the box structure facing the receiving cavity, so that the heat generated by the battery cells or the battery device can be reflected, and further, the heat radiated from the inside of the box structure to the outside can be reduced in the case of a relatively low ambient temperature. Therefore, the solution provided by the embodiments of the present application can enable the energy storage device or the battery device to better maintain the internal temperature in different temperature environments, and thus can improve the reliability of the energy storage device or the battery device.

For example, the battery cell 20 may be a square shell battery as Figure 3 shown, or it may also be other shapes different from Figure 3 shown. The embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.
[0105] It should be understood that as Figure 3 shown, the battery device 10 according to the embodiment of the present application may further include a box body 11. The box body 11 may be used to accommodate the battery cell 20 assembly. The battery cell 20 assembly may include one or more battery cells 20. The inside of the box body 11 according to the embodiment of the present application is a hollow structure, and a plurality of battery cells 20 are accommodated in the box body 11. The box body 11 may include a plurality of parts, for example Figure 2The shown box body 11 can include two parts, which are respectively referred to as the first box body part 111 and the second box body part 112 here. These two parts are only schematic and should not constitute an undue limitation to this application. In other embodiments, these two parts may also have other names. The first box body part 111 and the second box body part 112 are snapped together. The shapes of the first box body part 111 and the second box body part 112 can be determined according to the shapes of the components accommodated inside. For example, they can be determined according to the shape of the combination of multiple battery cells 20 accommodated inside. At least one of the first box body part 111 and the second box body part 112 has an opening. For example, as Figure 3 shown, both the first box body part 111 and the second box body part 112 can be hollow cuboids with one face being the opening face. The openings of the first box body part 111 and the second box body part 112 are arranged opposite to each other, and the first box body part 111 and the second box body part 112 are snapped together to form a box body 11 with a closed chamber, and this chamber can be used to accommodate multiple battery cells 20. Multiple battery cells 20 are placed inside the box body 11 formed after the first box body part 111 and the second box body part 112 are snapped together after being connected in parallel or in series or in a mixed connection. In some embodiments, the box body 11 can also include three parts. For example, it can respectively include the first box body part 111, the second box body part 112 and a frame.
[0106] For another example, different from Figure 3 shown, only one of the first box body part 111 and the second box body part 112 can also be a hollow cuboid with an opening, while the other is plate-shaped to cover the opening. Taking the second box body part 112 as a hollow cuboid with an opening and the first box body part 111 as plate-shaped as an example, then the first box body part 111 covers the opening of the second box body part 112 to form a box body 11 with a closed chamber, and this chamber can be used to accommodate multiple battery cells 20.
[0107] The battery device 10 can also be integrated into an electrical device. For example, the box body 11 of the battery device 10 can be a part of the electrical device. Exemplarily, the electrical device can be a vehicle 1, and the chassis of the vehicle 1 can be used as a part of the box body 11 of the battery device 10, and the chassis is arranged opposite to the road surface. The chassis can include a part of the box body 11 of the battery device 10 or the box body 11 is arranged inside the chassis.
[0108] Some components of the battery device 10 are schematically drawn in the figure, but the battery device 10 can also include other components. For example, the battery device 10 can also include a partition, and a part of the space in the battery device 10 is separated by the partition.
[0109] The battery device 10 may also be provided with a thermal management mechanism, and the thermal management mechanism may provide thermal management for the battery cells 20 in the form of a cooling plate. The battery cells 20 may also be partially or fully immersed in a thermal management medium, and the thermal management mechanism provides thermal management for the battery cells 20 through the thermal management medium.
[0110] The following combines Figures 4 to 6 to illustrate the housing structure 200 provided by an embodiment of the present application.
[0111] Figure 4 shows a schematic diagram of the housing structure 200 provided by an embodiment of the present application; Figure 5 shows the present application Figure 4 a cross-sectional schematic diagram of area A of the second wall 230 in the provided housing structure 200; Figure 6 shows the present application Figure 4 a cross-sectional schematic diagram of area B of the first wall 210 in the provided housing structure 200.
[0112] In some possible embodiments, the housing structure 200 includes a plurality of first walls 210, a first heat-reflecting layer 211, and a second heat-reflecting layer 212. The plurality of first walls 210 enclose to form a receiving cavity 220 for receiving the battery cells 20. The plurality of first walls 210 include a second wall 230, and the surface of the second wall away from the receiving cavity faces the heat source. The first heat-reflecting layer 211 is disposed on the side of the second wall 230 away from the receiving cavity 220. The second heat-reflecting layer 212 is disposed on the side of the plurality of first walls 210 facing the receiving cavity 220.
[0113] The battery cells 20 in the receiving cavity 220 may be directly disposed in the receiving cavity 220. The battery cells 20 in the receiving cavity 220 may also be disposed in other components. For example, the battery cells 20 may be disposed in the housing 11 of the battery device 10, and the battery device 10 is disposed in the receiving cavity 220.
[0114] The housing structure 200 may be a structure composed of the top wall 110, the bottom wall 140, and the side wall 120 of the energy storage device 100. The housing structure 200 may also be the housing 11 of the battery device 10. The solution of the embodiment of the present application may be applicable to both the energy storage device 100 and the battery device 10. The battery device 10 may be disposed in an electrical device to provide electrical energy.
[0115] Such as Figure 5 , a first heat-reflecting layer 211 is disposed on the side of the second wall 230 of the housing structure 200 away from the receiving cavity 220, and a second heat-reflecting layer 212 is disposed on the side of the second wall 230 of the housing structure 200 facing the receiving cavity 220.
[0116] Such as Figure 6As shown, among the more than 200 first walls 210 of the box structure 200, the first walls 210 other than the second wall 230 may be provided with a second heat-reflecting layer 212 only on the side facing the accommodation cavity 220, and no coating is provided on the side away from the accommodation cavity 220. Not providing a coating on the side of the first wall 210 that does not face the heat source and is away from the accommodation cavity 220 can save coating costs.
[0117] The first heat-reflecting layer 211 and the second heat-reflecting layer 212 may use the same material or different materials, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.
[0118] The first heat-reflecting layer 211 or the second heat-reflecting layer 212 can reflect the heat radiated to the surface of the first heat-reflecting layer 211 or the second heat-reflecting layer 212, thereby playing a role in heat reflection.
[0119] The first heat-reflecting layer 211 or the second heat-reflecting layer 212 can also absorb the heat radiated to the first heat-reflecting layer 211 or the second heat-reflecting layer 212 and then radiate it outward, thereby playing a role in heat reflection.
[0120] The heat outside the box structure 200 is radiated to the first heat-reflecting layer 211, and the first heat-reflecting layer 211 can reflect this part of the heat, thereby maintaining the temperature of the battery cells 20 or the battery device 10 in the accommodation cavity 220 inside the box structure 200.
[0121] Exemplarily, the multiple first walls 210 of the box structure 200 include the top wall 110, the bottom wall 140, and the side walls 120 of the energy storage device 100. The multiple first walls 210 enclose the accommodation cavity 220, and the battery device 10 can be accommodated in the accommodation cavity 220.
[0122] Exemplarily, the box structure 200 is the box 11 of the battery device 10, and the multiple first walls 210 enclose the accommodation cavity 220, and the battery cells 20 can be accommodated in the accommodation cavity 220.
[0123] Exemplarily, the heat source can be ground heat radiation, the sun, or other heat sources.
[0124] Exemplarily, the second wall 230 among the multiple first walls 210 includes the top wall 110 and the side walls 120 of the energy storage device 100. The first heat-reflecting layer 211 provided on the top wall 110 can absorb the radiation of sunlight and radiate the heat into the air. The first heat-reflecting layer 211 provided on the side walls 120 can absorb the ground heat radiation and radiate the heat into the air. Since the bottom surface opposite to the bottom wall 140 is generally not directly heated, even if the first heat-reflecting layer 211 is not provided on the bottom wall 140, the energy storage device 100 can still have good heat insulation.
[0125] Exemplarily, the box structure 200 is the box 11 of the battery device 10. The battery device 10 is used for an electrical device, and the electrical device includes a chassis. The chassis may include a second wall 230, or the second wall 230 may be disposed opposite to the chassis. When the electrical device is in use, the chassis faces the heat source. For example, during the driving of the vehicle 1, the chassis faces the road surface and thus is more likely to generate heat. Therefore, providing a first heat reflection layer 211 on the outer surface of the second wall 230 can greatly reduce the heat absorbed by the battery device 10.
[0126] A second heat reflection layer 212 is provided on one side of the plurality of first walls 210 facing the inside of the accommodation cavity 220. In an environment with a relatively low temperature, the heat generated by the battery cell 20 or the battery device 10 is reflected by the second heat reflection layer 212, so that the temperature of the energy storage device 100 or the battery device 10 can be maintained.
[0127] In the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application, a first heat reflection layer 211 is provided on the second wall 230 of the plurality of first ones of the box structure 200 that faces the heat source, so that the heat radiated from the outside of the box structure 200 to the box structure 200 can be reflected, reducing the amount of heat radiation received by the box structure 200. On the other hand, a second heat reflection layer 212 is provided on one side of the plurality of first walls 210 of the box structure 200 facing the accommodation cavity 220, so that the heat generated by the battery cell 20 or the battery device 10 can be reflected, and further, the heat radiated from the inside of the box structure 200 to the outside can be reduced when the ambient temperature is relatively low. Therefore, the solution provided by the embodiment of the present application can enable the energy storage device 100 or the battery device 10 to better maintain the internal temperature in different temperature environments, thereby improving the reliability of the energy storage device 100 or the battery device 10.
[0128] In some possible embodiments, the thickness d1 of the first heat reflection layer 211 satisfies 0.1 mm ≤ d1 ≤ 5 mm.
[0129] The thickness d1 of the first heat reflection layer 211 is greater than or equal to 0.1 mm. The thickness of the first heat reflection layer 211 can provide a better effect of reflecting the heat radiated from the outside of the box structure 200, thereby increasing the ability of the energy storage device 100 or the battery device 10 to maintain the temperature. The thickness d1 of the first heat reflection layer 211 is less than or equal to 5 mm. The thickness of the first heat reflection coating is not too large, which has little impact on the overall performance such as the weight of the energy storage device 100 or the battery device 10. At the same time, the thickness d1 of the first heat reflection layer 211 being less than or equal to 5 mm is also beneficial to controlling the cost of the first heat reflection layer 211.
[0130] In the technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present application, the thickness d1 of the first heat-reflecting layer 211 satisfies 0.1 mm ≤ d1 ≤ 5 mm. On the one hand, the first heat-reflecting layer 211 can provide better temperature retention ability for the energy storage device 100 or the battery device 10. On the other hand, the first heat-reflecting layer 211 has less impact on the overall performance of the energy storage device 100 or the battery device 10. Therefore, when the thickness d1 of the first heat-reflecting layer 211 is within this range, the reliability of the energy storage device 100 or the battery device 10 can be improved.
[0131] Further, the thickness d1 of the first heat-reflecting layer 211 can satisfy 0.2 mm ≤ d1 ≤ 3 mm. When the thickness d1 of the first heat-reflecting layer 211 is within this range, on the one hand, the first heat-reflecting layer 211 can have higher heat-reflecting ability. On the other hand, the first heat-reflecting layer 211 has less impact on the energy storage device 100 or the battery device 10, and the cost of the first heat-reflecting layer 211 is lower.
[0132] The thickness d1 of the first heat-reflecting layer 211 can also take other values. Exemplarily, the thickness d1 of the first heat-reflecting layer 211 can take any one of the following values or the range between any two of the following values: 0.1 mm, 0.35 mm, 0.59 mm, 0.84 mm, 1.08 mm, 1.33 mm, 1.57 mm, 1.82 mm, 2.06 mm, 2.31 mm, 2.55 mm, 2.8 mm, 3.04 mm, 3.29 mm, 3.53 mm, 3.78 mm, 4.02 mm, 4.26 mm, 4.51 mm, 4.75 mm, and 5.0 mm.
[0133] In some possible embodiments, the heat-reflecting rate of the first heat-reflecting layer 211 is greater than or equal to 85% and less than 100%.
[0134] The heat-reflecting rate can be obtained through a comparative test. Exemplarily, the box structure 200 provided with the first heat-reflecting layer 211 and the box structure 200 without the first heat-reflecting layer 211 are placed in a high-temperature environment (such as 35°C - 60°C). After detecting for 10 hours, the temperature change values of the two are measured, and the heat reflected by the first heat-reflecting layer 211 is calculated according to the temperature change values of the two. And calculate the percentage of the heat absorbed by the box structure 200 without the first heat-reflecting layer 211 as the heat-reflecting rate. The heat-reflecting rate can also be measured by other methods, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.
[0135] For example, the infrared reflectance can be measured. A near-infrared spectrometer can be used. A near-infrared light source with sufficient intensity and consistency is used to irradiate the sample, and the light intensity value reflected by the sample is recorded. The ratio of it to the incident light intensity is the infrared reflectance.
[0136] In the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application, the thermal reflectivity of the first thermal reflection layer 211 is greater than or equal to 85% and less than 100%. The first thermal reflection layer 211 can reflect most of the heat, so as to effectively maintain the temperature inside the box structure 200, effectively extend the life of the battery cell 20 or the battery device 10, and reduce the energy consumption of the thermal management system. Furthermore, the reliability of the energy storage device 100 or the battery device 10 can be improved.
[0137] Further, the thermal reflectivity of the first thermal reflection layer 211 may be greater than or equal to 90% and less than 100%. When the thermal reflectivity is within this range, the ability of the first thermal reflection layer 211 to maintain the temperature inside the box structure 200 can be further improved.
[0138] The thermal reflectivity of the first thermal reflection layer 211 may also take other values. Exemplarily, the thermal reflectivity of the first thermal reflection layer 211 may take any one of the following values or the range between any two of the following values: 85.0%, 85.75%, 86.5%, 87.25%, 88.0%, 88.75%, 89.5%, 90.25%, 91.0%, 91.75%, 92.5%, 93.25%, 94.0%, 94.75%, 95.5%, 96.25%, 97.0%, 97.75%, 98.5% and 99.25%.
[0139] In some possible embodiments, the infrared emissivity of the first thermal reflection layer 211 is greater than or equal to 85% and less than 100%.
[0140] The measurement of the infrared emissivity can adopt the energy method. Using a Fourier analysis spectrometer, the infrared radiation power of the absolute black body and the sample are measured respectively by the same detector at the same temperature, and the ratio of the two is the infrared emissivity value of the material.
[0141] In the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application, the infrared emissivity of the first thermal reflection layer 211 is greater than or equal to 85% and less than 100%. The first thermal reflection layer 211 can radiate most of the absorbed heat, so as to effectively maintain the temperature inside the box structure 200, effectively extend the life of the battery cell 20 or the battery device 10, and reduce the energy consumption of the thermal management system. Furthermore, the reliability of the energy storage device 100 or the battery device 10 can be improved.
[0142] Further, the infrared emissivity of the first thermal reflection layer 211 may be greater than or equal to 90% and less than 100%. When the infrared emissivity is within this range, the ability of the first thermal reflection layer 211 to maintain the temperature inside the box structure 200 can be further improved.
[0143] The infrared emissivity of the first heat-reflecting layer 211 can also take other values. Exemplarily, the infrared emissivity of the first heat-reflecting layer 211 can take any one of the following values or the range between any two of the following values: 85.0%, 85.75%, 86.5%, 87.25%, 88.0%, 88.75%, 89.5%, 90.0%, 91.0%, 91.75%, 92.5%, 93.25%, 94.0%, 94.75%, 95.5%, 96.25%, 97.0%, 97.75%, 98.5%, and 99.25%.
[0144] In some possible embodiments, the substrate of the first heat-reflecting layer 211 includes at least one of the following: polyurethane, nano-silica gel.
[0145] Exemplarily, the substrate of the first heat-reflecting layer 211 is polyurethane or waterborne polyurethane, and a polyurethane heat-reflecting layer with a thickness of 0.2 mm - 0.6 mm is provided on the side of the second wall 230 away from the accommodation cavity 220. This polyurethane heat-reflecting layer does not undergo visible changes under 1000 hours of ultraviolet irradiation. And the heat reflectivity of this polyurethane heat-reflecting layer to sunlight can reach 90%, and it also has good reflection ability to infrared light with a wavelength below 2.5 μm. At the same time, the polyurethane heat-reflecting layer has high infrared emission characteristics, can radiate infrared light with a wavelength of 8 - 13 μm outward, and can quickly dissipate heat into the environment.
[0146] Exemplarily, the substrate of the first heat-reflecting layer 211 is nano-silica gel, and a nano-silica gel heat-reflecting layer with a thickness of 0.5 mm - 5 mm is provided on the side of the second wall 230 away from the accommodation cavity 220.
[0147] Figure 7 Shows another possible schematic diagram of the cross-section of the A area of the second wall 230 in the box structure 200 provided by the present application Figure 4
[0148] In some possible embodiments, the first heat-reflecting layer 211 includes a plurality of hollow cavities 2111, and the plurality of hollow cavities 2111 are distributed within the first heat-reflecting layer 211.
[0149] The hollow cavities 2111 can be provided in the first heat-reflecting layer 211 in various ways. For example, the first heat-reflecting layer 211 can be thermally sprayed, and during the cooling process of the first heat-reflecting layer 211, the gas therein forms hollow cavities 2111 in the first heat-reflecting layer 211. Again, for example, hollow cavities 2111 can also be formed by filling hollow microspheres. The present application does not limit this.
[0150] The hollow cavity 2111 can be seen by observing the first heat-reflecting layer 211 through a microscope. The hollow cavity 2111 can also be tested by other means, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.
[0151] The hollow cavity 2111 can have a certain heat storage capacity, so as to reduce the speed at which the heat absorbed by the first heat-reflecting layer 211 is transferred to the second wall 230, and further improve the ability of the first heat-reflecting layer 211 to maintain the internal temperature of the box structure 200.
[0152] In the technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present application, the first heat-reflecting layer 211 includes the hollow cavity 2111, which can further improve the heat insulation ability of the first heat-reflecting layer 211, further improve the ability of the first heat-reflecting layer 211 to maintain the internal temperature of the box structure 200, and thus improve the reliability of the energy storage device 100 or the battery device 10.
[0153] Figure 8 Shows the present application Figure 4 Another possible schematic diagram of the cross-section of the A area of the second wall 230 in the box structure 200 provided.
[0154] In some possible embodiments, the box structure 200 further includes a first light-transmitting layer 213, and the first light-transmitting layer 213 is disposed on the surface of the first heat-reflecting layer 211 away from the second wall 230.
[0155] The first light-transmitting layer 213 can have good light-transmitting performance, so that infrared light, sunlight, etc. can reach the first heat-reflecting layer 211 and pass through the first light-transmitting layer 213 after being reflected by the first heat-reflecting layer 211 and reach the environment. At the same time, the first light-transmitting layer 213 is disposed on the surface of the first heat-reflecting layer 211 away from the second wall 230. When subjected to mechanical impact, sand and dust or other abrasions, the first light-transmitting layer 213 can protect the first heat-reflecting layer 211 from being damaged by mechanical impact, sand and dust or other abrasions.
[0156] In the technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present application, the first light-transmitting layer 213 is disposed on the surface of the first heat-reflecting layer 211 away from the second wall 230. On the one hand, the first light-transmitting layer 213 can enable infrared light, sunlight, etc. to pass through smoothly, thus having a small impact on the heat-reflecting ability of the first heat-reflecting layer 211. On the other hand, the first light-transmitting layer 213 can protect the first heat-reflecting layer 211 from being damaged by mechanical impact, sand and dust or other abrasions, so that the first heat-reflecting layer 211 can maintain the heat-reflecting ability for a long time, and thus improve the stability of the energy storage device 100 or the battery device 10.
[0157] In some possible embodiments, the thickness d2 of the first light-transmitting layer 213 satisfies: 0.3 mm ≤ d2 ≤ 3 mm.
[0158] The thickness d2 of the first light-transmitting layer 213 is greater than or equal to 0.3 mm. The first light-transmitting layer 213 can play a better protective role and is beneficial to maintaining the heat reflection ability of the first heat-reflecting layer 211. The thickness d2 of the first light-transmitting layer 213 is less than or equal to 3 mm, which is beneficial to the transmission of infrared light and sunlight and can reduce the influence of the first light-transmitting layer 213 on the first heat-reflecting layer 211.
[0159] In the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application, the thickness d2 of the first light-transmitting layer 213 satisfies: 0.3 mm ≤ d2 ≤ 3 mm. On the one hand, this thickness is beneficial for the first light-transmitting layer 213 to protect the first heat-reflecting layer 211, so as to maintain the heat reflection ability of the first heat-reflecting layer 211. On the other hand, this thickness is beneficial for the transmission of infrared light and sunlight, can reduce the influence of the first light-transmitting layer 213 on the first heat-reflecting layer 211, and thus can improve the reliability of the energy storage device 100 or the battery device 10.
[0160] Further, the thickness d2 of the first light-transmitting layer 213 satisfies: 0.35 mm ≤ d2 ≤ 2 mm. When the thickness d2 of the first light-transmitting layer 213 is within this range, the thickness of the first light-transmitting layer 213 is not too thin, thereby reducing the difficulty of the spraying process. On the other hand, the thickness of the first light-transmitting layer 213 is not too thick, thereby reducing the cost of the first light-transmitting layer 213.
[0161] The thickness d2 of the first light-transmitting layer 213 can also take other values. Exemplarily, the thickness d2 of the first light-transmitting layer 213 can take any one of the following values or the range between any two values: 0.3 mm, 0.35 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.1 mm, 1.2 mm, 1.3 mm, 1.4 mm, 1.5 mm, 1.6 mm, 1.7 mm, 1.8 mm, 1.9 mm, 2.0 mm, 2.1 mm, 2.2 mm, 2.3 mm, 2.4 mm, 2.5 mm, 2.6 mm, 2.7 mm, 2.8 mm, 2.9 mm, and 3.0 mm.
[0162] In some possible embodiments, the mass loss of the wear-resistant coating of the first light-transmitting layer 213 ≤ 20 mg.
[0163] The measurement method of the mass loss of the wear-resistant coating can be determined by referring to the method provided in "GB / T 1768-2006 Paints and varnishes - Determination of resistance to abrasion - Rotating rubber wheel method".
[0164] The mass loss of the wear-resistant coating of the first light-transmitting layer 213 ≤ 20 mg. The first light-transmitting layer 213 has good wear resistance. In the case of being worn by sand and dust, etc., the first light-transmitting layer 213 is not easily worn away, so that it can stably exist on the surface of the first heat-reflecting layer 211.
[0165] In the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application, the mass loss of the wear-resistant coating of the first light-transmitting layer 213 is ≤ 20 mg, and the first light-transmitting layer 213 is not easily worn away, which can protect the first heat-reflecting layer 211 for a long time, thereby improving the stability of the energy storage device 100 or the battery device 10.
[0166] Furthermore, the mass loss of the wear-resistant coating of the first light-transmitting layer 213 is ≤ 15 mg. When the first light-transmitting layer 213 is scratched, obvious abrasion marks are not easily generated, so that the light-transmitting performance of the first light-transmitting layer 213 can be maintained, the influence on the light-transmitting performance of the first light-transmitting layer 213 during long-term use can be reduced, and further the stability of the energy storage device 100 or the battery device 10 can be improved.
[0167] The mass loss of the wear-resistant coating of the first light-transmitting layer 213 can also be other values. Exemplarily, the mass loss of the wear-resistant coating of the first light-transmitting layer 213 can take any one of the following values or the range between any two values: 0.1 mg, 0.2 mg, 0.5 mg, 0.8 mg, 1 mg, 2 mg, 5 mg, 6 mg, 8 mg, 9 mg, 10 mg, 11 mg, 12 mg, 13 mg, 14 mg, 15 mg, 16 mg, 17 mg, 18 mg, 19 mg, and 20 mg.
[0168] In some possible embodiments, the draw strength σ of the first light-transmitting layer 213 satisfies 1 MPa ≤ σ ≤ 90 MPa.
[0169] The draw strength σ can be measured by referring to the method provided in "GB / T 5210-2006 Paints and varnishes - Pull-off test for adhesion".
[0170] The draw strength σ of the first light-transmitting layer 213 satisfies 1 MPa ≤ σ ≤ 90 MPa, the first light-transmitting layer 213 has good adhesion ability, and the adhesion strength between the first light-transmitting layer 213 and the first heat-reflecting layer 211 is relatively high. In the case of certain mechanical impacts, the first light-transmitting layer 213 is not easily detached, so as to better protect the first heat-reflecting layer 211.
[0171] In the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application, the draw strength σ of the first light-transmitting layer 213 satisfies 1 MPa ≤ σ ≤ 90 Mpa, the adhesion strength of the first light-transmitting layer 213 is relatively high, and the first light-transmitting layer 213 can maintain stable adhesion during the use and transportation of the energy storage device 100 or the battery device 10, thereby improving the reliability of the energy storage device 100 or the battery device 10.
[0172] Further, the drawing strength σ of the first light-transmitting layer 213 satisfies 2 MPa ≤ σ ≤ 70 MPa. When the lower limit of the drawing strength of the first light-transmitting layer 213 increases, the adhesion between the first light-transmitting layer 213 and the first heat-reflecting layer 211 can be strengthened. When the upper limit of the drawing strength of the first light-transmitting layer 213 decreases, the first light-transmitting layer 213 is not easily attached to the spraying port of the spraying equipment, and the spraying difficulty of the first light-transmitting layer 213 can be reduced.
[0173] The drawing strength σ of the first light-transmitting layer 213 can also take other values. Exemplarily, the drawing strength σ of the first light-transmitting layer 213 can take any one of the following values or the range between any two values: 1.0 MPa, 5.45 MPa, 9.9 MPa, 14.35 MPa, 18.8 MPa, 23.25 MPa, 27.7 MPa, 32.15 MPa, 36.6 MPa, 41.05 MPa, 45.5 MPa, 49.95 MPa, 54.4 MPa, 58.85 MPa, 63.3 MPa, 67.75 MPa, 72.2 MPa, 76.65 MPa, 81.1 MPa, 85.55 MPa, and 90.0 MPa.
[0174] In some possible embodiments, the tensile strength TS1 of the first light-transmitting layer 213 satisfies: 10 MPa ≤ TS1 ≤ 1000 Mpa.
[0175] The tensile strength TS1 can be measured with reference to the method provided in "GB / T 528-2009 Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic - Determination of tensile stress-strain properties".
[0176] When the tensile strength TS1 of the first light-transmitting layer 213 satisfies 10 MPa ≤ TS1 ≤ 1000 Mpa, the first light-transmitting layer 213 has good tensile properties. When the first light-transmitting layer 213 is subjected to mechanical impact, the first light-transmitting layer 213 can provide a high stress to resist the mechanical impact, thereby reducing the damage to the first heat-reflecting layer 211.
[0177] In the technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present application, the tensile strength TS of the first light-transmitting layer 213 satisfies: 10 MPa ≤ TS1 ≤ 1000 Mpa, so as to reduce the possibility of damage to the first heat-reflecting layer 211 under mechanical impact, and further improve the reliability of the energy storage device 100 or the battery device 10.
[0178] Further, the tensile strength TS1 of the first light-transmitting layer 213 satisfies 20 MPa ≤ σ ≤ 700 MPa. When the lower limit of the tensile strength of the first light-transmitting layer 213 increases, the ability of the first light-transmitting layer 213 to buffer mechanical impact can be strengthened. When the upper limit of the tensile strength of the first light-transmitting layer 213 decreases, the first light-transmitting layer 213 is more easily ejected from the spraying port, reducing the spraying difficulty of the first light-transmitting layer 213.
[0179] The tensile strength TS1 of the first light-transmitting layer 213 can also be other values. Exemplarily, the tensile strength TS1 of the first light-transmitting layer 213 can take any one of the following values or the range between any two of the following values: 10.0 MPa, 59.5 MPa, 109.0 MPa, 158.5 MPa, 208.0 MPa, 257.5 MPa, 307.0 MPa, 356.5 MPa, 406.0 MPa, 455.5 MPa, 505.0 MPa, 554.5 MPa, 604.0 MPa, 653.5 MPa, 703.0 MPa, 752.5 MPa, 802.0 MPa, 851.5 MPa, 901.0 MPa, 950.5 MPa, and 1000.0 MPa.
[0180] In some possible embodiments, the tear strength TS2 of the first light-transmitting layer 213 satisfies: 10 N / mm ≤ TS2 ≤ 1000 N / mm.
[0181] The tear strength TS2 can be measured with reference to the method provided in "GB / T 529-2008 Determination of tear strength of vulcanized rubber or thermoplastic rubber (trouser, right-angle and crescent specimens)".
[0182] The tear strength TS2 of the first light-transmitting layer 213 satisfies: 10 N / mm ≤ TS2 ≤ 1000 N / mm. The first light-transmitting layer 213 has a certain tear resistance. When subjected to mechanical impact, the first light-transmitting layer 213 is not easily damaged, so as to continuously protect the first heat-reflecting layer 211.
[0183] In the technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present application, the tear strength TS2 of the first light-transmitting layer 213 satisfies: 10 N / mm ≤ TS2 ≤ 1000 N / mm, so that the possibility of the first light-transmitting layer 213 being damaged under mechanical impact can be reduced, and thus the reliability of the energy storage device 100 or the battery device 10 can be improved.
[0184] In certain possible embodiments, the substrate of the first light-transmitting layer 213 is polyurea.
[0185] Combined Figure 9 and Figure 10 to illustrate the box structure provided by a certain embodiment of the present application.
[0186] Figure 9 Shows Figure 4 Another possible schematic diagram of the cross-section of area A of the second wall 230 in the box structure 200 provided by the present application; Figure 10 Shows Figure 4 Still another possible schematic diagram of the cross-section of area A of the second wall 230 in the box structure 200 provided by the present application.
[0187] In some possible embodiments, the box structure 200 further includes a heat insulation layer 214, and the heat insulation layer 214 is disposed between the first heat reflection layer 211 and the second wall 230.
[0188] Wherein, Figure 10 Relative to Figure 9 the box structure in [reference], a first light-transmitting layer 213 is disposed on the surface of the second wall 230 away from the accommodation cavity, so as to further improve the reliability of the energy storage device 100 or the battery device 10.
[0189] In the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application, a heat insulation layer 214 is disposed between the first heat reflection layer 211 and the second wall 230, which can reduce the heat transfer between the heat absorbed by the first heat reflection layer 211 and the second wall 230, and at the same time reduce the amount of heat absorbed by the second heat reflection layer 212 radiated to the external environment through the second wall 230. Thus, disposing the heat insulation layer 214 between the first heat reflection layer 211 and the second wall 230 can improve the reliability of the energy storage device 100 or the battery device 10.
[0190] In some possible embodiments, the thickness d3 of the heat insulation layer 214 satisfies: 0.1 mm ≤ d3 ≤ 3 mm.
[0191] When the thickness d3 of the heat insulation layer 214 is greater than or equal to 0.1 mm, the heat insulation layer 214 can play a good heat insulation role, which is beneficial to maintaining the temperature of the accommodation cavity 220. When the thickness d3 of the heat insulation layer 214 is less than or equal to 3 mm, it is beneficial to save material costs.
[0192] Further, the thickness d3 of the heat insulation layer 214 satisfies: 1 mm ≤ d2 ≤ 2 mm. When the thickness d3 of the heat insulation layer 214 is within this range, the thickness of the heat insulation layer 214 is not too thin, so that it can play a good heat insulation effect. On the other hand, the thickness of the heat insulation layer 214 is not too thick, thereby reducing the cost of the heat insulation layer 214.
[0193] The thickness d3 of the heat insulation layer 214 can also be other values. Exemplarily, the thickness d3 of the heat insulation layer 214 can take any one of the following values or the range between any two values: 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.1 mm, 1.2 mm, 1.3 mm, 1.4 mm, 1.5 mm, 1.6 mm, 1.7 mm, 1.8 mm, 1.9 mm, 2.0 mm, 2.1 mm, 2.2 mm, 2.3 mm, 2.4 mm, 2.5 mm, 2.6 mm, 2.7 mm, 2.8 mm, 2.9 mm, and 3.0 mm.
[0194] In some possible embodiments, the base material of the heat insulation layer 214 is selected from at least one of the following: nano-silica gel, ceramics, and mica.
[0195] Figure 11 shows the present application Figure 4 Another possible cross-sectional schematic view of area A of the second wall 230 in the box structure 200 provided by the present application.
[0196] In some possible embodiments, a second light-transmitting layer 215 may also be provided on the side of the second heat-reflecting layer 212 facing the accommodation cavity 220.
[0197] In the technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present application, a second light-transmitting layer 215 is provided on the side of the second heat-reflecting layer 212 facing the accommodation cavity 220, so that the mechanical shock generated during the transportation and use of the interior of the box structure 200 can be absorbed by the second light-transmitting layer 215, thereby protecting the second heat-reflecting layer 212 and being beneficial to maintaining the heat preservation performance of the second heat-reflecting layer 212.
