[0039] Reference below Figures 1-12 A battery pack 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.
[0040] According to the battery pack 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, the battery pack 100 includes a housing 10, a first end plate 41, a bottom guard plate 20, a battery module 30 and an electrical device. The housing 10 includes a first housing 11 and a second housing 12. The first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are arranged along a first direction (for example, referring to the attached Figure 1 The first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are stacked (in the direction e1 in the figure, where the first direction can be the vertical direction). The first shell 11 and the second shell 12 together define a receiving chamber 13. For example, the edges of the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 can be fixedly connected by bolts. For example, the material of the upper shell 10 can be PCM / RTM.
[0041] The first end plate 41 is located in the accommodating cavity 13. The first end plate 41 is used to divide the accommodating cavity 13 into two sections along the second direction (for example, Figure 1 The first and second accommodating cavities 131, 132 are arranged in a direction e2 (the first direction can be the front-to-back direction or the left-to-right direction). The battery module 30 is located in the first accommodating cavity 131, and the electrical equipment is located in the second accommodating cavity 132. This allows the battery module 30 and the electrical equipment to be installed without being connected to each other. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.
[0042] For example, the first end plate 41 includes a first plate body 411 and a second plate body 412 stacked along a first direction, the second plate body 412 is fixedly connected to the second shell 12 , and the first plate body 411 is fixedly connected to the second plate body 412 .
[0043] The bottom guard plate 20 is located on the side of the second shell 12 away from the first shell 11 , that is, the bottom guard plate 20 is located at the bottom of the second shell 12 and is used to protect the bottom of the battery pack 100 and prevent the battery module 30 from being bumped by the outside.
[0044] The first accommodating cavity 131 includes a first sub-cavity and a second sub-cavity stacked along a first direction. The first sub-cavity may be defined between the first housing 11 and the first plate 411, or the second sub-cavity may be defined between the second housing 12 and the second plate 412. The battery module 30 includes a first battery module 31 and a second battery module 32 stacked along the first direction. The first battery module 31 is located in the first sub-cavity, and the second battery module 32 is located in the second sub-cavity.
[0045] The first battery module 31 has a first explosion-proof valve 311, which can be located on one side of the first battery module 31 in the first direction or on one side of the first battery module 31 in the second direction. The first sub-chamber has a first exhaust channel 1112 opposite the first explosion-proof valve 311. When thermal runaway occurs in the first battery module 31, the high-temperature gas exhausted through the first explosion-proof valve 311 can be discharged into the first exhaust channel 1112. The first exhaust channel 1112 is located in the first sub-chamber of the first accommodating chamber 131, which can separate the first exhaust channel 1112 from the electrical equipment, thereby achieving thermal and electrical separation, preventing the high-temperature gas exhausted from the first explosion-proof valve 311 from being transmitted to the electrical equipment and causing damage to the electrical equipment.
[0046] The second battery module 32 has a second explosion-proof valve 321, which is located on one side of the first battery module 31 in the first direction. The second housing 12 has an opening 123 opposite the second explosion-proof valve 321, and the bottom guard plate 20 has a second exhaust channel 22 opposite the opening 123. That is, the second explosion-proof valve 321 is arranged toward the bottom guard plate 20. When the second battery module 32 experiences thermal runaway, the high-temperature gas exhausted through the second explosion-proof valve 321 can be discharged into the second exhaust channel 22. The second exhaust channel 22 is located in the second sub-cavity of the first accommodating cavity 131, which can achieve separation between the second exhaust channel 22 and the electrical equipment, thereby achieving thermal and electrical separation, preventing the high-temperature gas exhausted from the second explosion-proof valve 321 from being transmitted to the electrical equipment and causing damage to the battery equipment.
[0047] A first end plate 41 is provided in the accommodating cavity 13 to separate the accommodating cavity 13 into a first accommodating cavity 131 and a second accommodating cavity 132. The first accommodating cavity 131 is provided with a first battery module 31 and a second battery module 32, and the second accommodating cavity 132 is provided with electrical equipment. When thermal runaway occurs in the first battery module 31 or the second battery module 32, the high-temperature gas discharged from the first battery module 31 or the second battery module 32 can be exhausted through the first exhaust channel 1112 or the second exhaust channel 22 in the first accommodating cavity 131, thereby realizing thermal and electrical separation, thereby improving the safety of the battery pack 100.
[0048] According to the battery pack 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, a first end plate 41 is provided in the accommodating cavity 13 to separate the accommodating cavity 13 into a first accommodating cavity 131 and a second accommodating cavity 132. The first accommodating cavity 131 is provided with a first battery module 31 and a second battery module 32, and the second accommodating cavity 132 is provided with an electrical device. When the first battery module 31 or the second battery module 32 has thermal runaway, the high-temperature gas discharged from the first battery module 31 or the second battery module 32 can be exhausted through the first exhaust channel 1112 or the second exhaust channel 22 in the first accommodating cavity 131, thereby realizing thermal and electrical separation, thereby improving the safety of the battery pack 100.
[0049] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figures 1-10 The first explosion-proof valve 311 is located on a side of the first battery module 31 facing away from the second battery module 32. The first battery module 31 and the second battery module 32 are stacked along a first direction, which can be an up-down direction. That is, the first explosion-proof valve 311 is located above the first battery module 31. The first shell 11 has an escape groove 1111 opposite the first explosion-proof valve 311. The escape groove 1111 serves as a first exhaust channel 1112. The first exhaust channel 1112 is provided on the top plate 111 of the first shell 11. When thermal runaway occurs in the first battery module 31, high-temperature gas within the first battery module 31 is discharged through the first exhaust channel 1112. The first exhaust channel 1112 is provided away from the second battery module 32 to prevent the high-temperature gas from flowing into the second battery module 32 and damaging it.
[0050] For example, mica paper is pasted on the inner wall of the avoidance groove 1111, and the mica paper can play the role of high temperature resistance and insulation.
[0051] In a specific example, the first battery module 31 includes a plurality of battery cells 33 arranged along the second direction, each battery cell 33 has two explosion-proof valves, and the explosion-proof valves of the plurality of battery cells 33 are arranged in sequence to form two rows of first explosion-proof valves 311. Correspondingly, the top plate 111 of the first shell 11 has two avoidance grooves 1111 opposite to the first explosion-proof valves 311. The two avoidance grooves 1111 are arranged along the third direction (for example, refer to the attached FIG. Figure 1 In the e3 direction, the first direction can be the front-to-back direction or the left-to-right direction).
[0052] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figures 1-10The battery pack 100 also includes multiple support members 21 located between the second housing 12 and the bottom guard plate 20. A second explosion-proof valve 321 is located on the side of the second battery module 32 facing away from the first battery module 31. A second exhaust passage 22 is defined between two adjacent support members 21. The support members 21 not only define the second exhaust passage 22 on the bottom guard plate 20 but also cushion and absorb impact forces when the bottom of the battery pack 100 is impacted, protecting the battery modules 30 within the battery pack 100 from collision. For example, the support members 21 may be made of supporting foam.
[0053] For example, mica paper is pasted on the position of the second explosion-proof valve 321 corresponding to the bottom guard plate 20. The mica paper can play the role of high temperature resistance and insulation.
[0054] In a specific example, the second battery module 32 includes a plurality of battery cells 33 arranged along the second direction, each battery cell 33 has two explosion-proof valves, and the explosion-proof valves of the plurality of battery cells 33 are arranged in sequence to form two rows of second explosion-proof valves 321. Correspondingly, there are three support members 21, and a second exhaust channel 22 is provided between two adjacent support members 21, that is, there are two second exhaust channels 22, and the two second exhaust channels 22 are arranged along the third direction.
[0055] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figures 1-10 The battery pack 100 also includes a second end plate 42, which is located on the side of the battery module 30 away from the electrical equipment. The second end plate 42 is abutted against the top plate 111 of the first shell 11 and the bottom plate 121 of the second shell 12. A third exhaust channel 15 is provided between the shell 10 and the second end plate 42. The third exhaust channel 15 is connected to the first exhaust channel 1112 and the second exhaust channel 22. The third exhaust channel 15 can realize the high-temperature gas in the first exhaust channel 1112 and the high-temperature gas in the second exhaust channel 22, and finally discharge the battery pack 100 through the total explosion-proof valve 141 on the side wall of the third exhaust channel 15, which can save the setting of the total explosion-proof valve 141.
[0056] For example, a window can be opened at a position corresponding to the second end plate 42 and the first exhaust channel 1112, so that the first exhaust channel 1112 and the second exhaust channel 22 are connected; a through hole 122 can also be opened on the bottom plate 121 of the second shell 12, so that the second exhaust channel 22 and the second exhaust channel 22 are connected.
[0057] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figures 1-10The shell 10 includes a side plate 14 opposite to the second end plate 42, and the second end plate 42 has a first protrusion 423 and a second protrusion 424 on the side facing the side plate 14. The first protrusion 423 and the second protrusion 424 are both in contact with the side plate 14 to construct a third exhaust channel 15 between the first protrusion 423 and the second protrusion 424.
[0058] The first explosion-proof valve 311 of the first battery module 31 is located on the side of the first battery module 31 away from the second battery module 32. A bus device of the battery module 30 is provided on one side of the third direction of the battery module 30. The first protrusion 423 and the second protrusion 424 are used to separate the third exhaust channel 15 from the bus of the battery module 30 to avoid arcing between the high-temperature gas and the bus when the battery module 30 thermally runs away, thereby aggravating the thermal runaway.
[0059] For example, the second end plate 42 includes a third plate 421 and a fourth plate 422 stacked along a first direction, the first direction is the up and down direction, that is, the third plate 421 and the fourth plate 422 are arranged along the up and down direction, the fourth plate 422 is fixedly connected to the second shell 12, and the third plate 421 is fixedly connected to the fourth plate 422.
