[0080] The explosion-proof valve 1000 according to the embodiments of the present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the present application.
[0081] In combination Figure 1 and Figure 29 , the explosion-proof valve 1000 according to the embodiments of the present application comprises a valve body 100 and a valve core assembly 200.
[0082] In combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the valve body 100 is provided with a matching hole 110 and an exhaust hole 120 penetrating the valve body 100, and the exhaust hole 120 is adapted to communicate with the accommodating cavity of the battery monomer. Here, the valve body 100 is provided with the matching hole 110 and the exhaust hole 120 at the same time, and the matching hole 110 and the exhaust hole 120 penetrate the valve body 100, so as to ensure the working performance of the matching hole 110 and the exhaust hole 120 to a certain extent, so as to ensure the working performance of the valve body 100. Since the exhaust hole 120 is adapted to communicate with the accommodating cavity of the battery monomer, when the battery monomer loses control and high-temperature and high-pressure gas is generated in the accommodating cavity within a short time, the gas can be quickly discharged from the accommodating cavity through the exhaust hole 120, achieving the explosion-proof function and improving the use safety of the battery monomer.
[0083] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the matching hole 110 and the exhaust hole 120 are arranged on the valve body 100 and extend along the thickness direction of the valve body 100, so that the matching hole 110 and the exhaust hole 120 can penetrate the valve body 100. In this way, the matching hole 110 and the exhaust hole 120 can respectively communicate with the opposite sides of the valve body 100 in the thickness direction, so as to ensure the working performance of the matching hole 110 and the exhaust hole 120 to a certain extent.
[0084] In combination Figures 5-11 , the valve core assembly 200 comprises a valve core 210 and a valve rod 220, the valve rod 220 is connected to the valve core 210, the valve core 210 and the valve rod 220 are formed as an integral piece, the valve core 210 is arranged on one side of the valve body 100 and faces the exhaust hole 120, the valve rod 220 is movably arranged in the matching hole 110 to drive the valve core 210 to open or block the exhaust hole 120, and the valve core assembly 200 is provided with an air inlet and exhaust passage 230 communicating with the accommodating cavity.
[0085] Here, the matching hole 110 on the valve body 100 is used to avoid the valve rod 220, the valve core 210 is arranged on one side of the valve body 100 and faces the exhaust hole 120, and the valve rod 220 is movably arranged in the matching hole 110, so that the valve rod 220 can drive the valve core 210 to open or block the exhaust hole 120, wherein Figure 10 and Figure 30A diagram showing that the valve core 210 blocks the exhaust hole 120, Figure 11 and Figure 31 A diagram showing that the valve core 210 opens the exhaust hole 120. Since the exhaust hole 120 is adapted to communicate with the accommodating cavity of the battery monomer, when the valve rod 220 drives the valve core 210 to open the exhaust hole 120, the communication between the inside and outside of the accommodating cavity can be achieved by using the exhaust hole 120. Thus, when the battery monomer is out of control and high-temperature and high-pressure gas is generated inside in a short time, the gas can be quickly discharged from the accommodating cavity through the exhaust hole 120, achieving the explosion-proof function and improving the use safety of the battery monomer. When the valve rod 220 drives the valve core 210 to block the exhaust hole 120, the external water, dust and other foreign matters can be prevented from entering the battery monomer to a certain extent, so as to ensure the normal work and use safety of the battery monomer.
[0086] That is, the present application is configured by the movable valve rod 220, the valve core 210 and the exhaust hole 120 to achieve the explosion-proof purpose when the battery monomer is out of control, and also prevent the external water, dust and other foreign matters from entering the battery monomer when the battery monomer is working normally.
[0087] In addition, the movable valve rod 220, the valve core 210 and the exhaust hole 120 are configured to enable the exhaust hole 120 to be re-blocked after being opened, so that the explosion-proof valve 1000 can be reused, the service life of the explosion-proof valve 1000 is prolonged, and the use cost of the explosion-proof valve 1000 is reduced.
[0088] It is worth noting that the present application is configured by the valve core 210 and the valve rod 220 to form an integral piece, so that the valve core 210 and the valve rod 220 can be integrally machined and formed. On the one hand, the connection between the valve core 210 and the valve rod 220 can be omitted, the assembly difficulty of the valve core assembly 200 is reduced, the assembly difficulty of the explosion-proof valve 1000 is reduced, the assembly efficiency of the explosion-proof valve 1000 is improved, and on the other hand, the connection strength of the valve core 210 and the valve rod 220 is improved, the relative position of the valve core 210 and the valve rod 220 is stable, the structural stability of the valve core assembly 200 is improved, and the working performance of the valve core assembly 200 is ensured to a certain extent.
[0089] It should be noted that when the internal gas pressure of the accommodating cavity of the battery monomer is greater than the external gas pressure, the shell of the battery monomer may not be able to withstand the internal pressure and break, thereby causing the battery monomer to explode and affecting the use safety of the battery monomer. When the internal gas pressure of the accommodating cavity of the battery monomer is less than the external gas pressure, a negative pressure will be formed inside the accommodating cavity, which may cause the positive active material of the pole core to be incompletely discharged, affect the available capacity of the battery monomer, and also accelerate the degradation and aging process of the internal structure of the battery monomer to a certain extent, thereby shortening the service life of the battery monomer.
[0090] Based on this, the application sets the inlet and exhaust passage 230 which communicates the accommodating cavity of the battery monomer in the valve core assembly 200, when the internal gas pressure of the accommodating cavity of the battery monomer is greater than the external gas pressure, the gas in the accommodating cavity can be exhausted to the outside through the inlet and exhaust passage 230, when the internal gas pressure of the accommodating cavity of the battery monomer is less than the external gas pressure, the external gas can be supplemented to the inside of the accommodating cavity through the inlet and exhaust passage 230, so as to balance the internal and external pressure of the battery monomer, improve the use safety of the battery monomer, and be beneficial to prolong the service life of the battery monomer.
[0091] In summary, the explosion-proof valve 1000 of the application contains three working conditions: first, when the internal gas pressure of the accommodating cavity of the battery monomer is greater than the external gas pressure, the internal gas of the battery monomer is exhausted to the outside through the inlet and exhaust passage 230 of the explosion-proof valve 1000; second, when the internal gas pressure of the accommodating cavity of the battery monomer is less than the external gas pressure, the external gas is supplemented to the inside of the battery monomer through the inlet and exhaust passage 230 of the explosion-proof valve 1000; third, when the battery monomer is out of control, high-temperature and high-pressure gas will be generated in the battery monomer in a short time, at this time, the ventilation capacity of the inlet and exhaust passage 230 cannot meet the exhaust demand, the valve stem 220 of the explosion-proof valve 1000 controls the valve core 210 to move to open the exhaust hole 120, so that the gas can be quickly discharged from the battery monomer through the exhaust hole 120, and the explosion-proof function is achieved.
[0092] From the above structure, it can be known that the explosion-proof valve 1000 of the embodiment of the application, by setting the matching hole 110 and the exhaust hole 120 which penetrate the valve body 100, the valve stem 220 can be movably assembled to the valve body 100, because the valve core 210 is arranged on one side of the valve body 100 and faces the exhaust hole 120, so that the exhaust hole 120 can be opened or blocked by the valve core 210, because the exhaust hole 120 is suitable for communicating the accommodating cavity of the battery monomer, so as to realize opening or blocking the accommodating cavity by the valve core 210, when the battery monomer is out of control and high-temperature and high-pressure gas is generated in the battery monomer in a short time, the gas can be quickly discharged from the accommodating cavity, and after the exhaust hole 120 is exhausted, the exhaust hole 120 can be resealed, so as to avoid that when the battery monomer is not pressure-released, the external water, dust and other foreign matters enter the battery monomer, so as to ensure the normal work and use safety of the battery monomer, and the explosion-proof valve 1000 can be repeatedly used, the service life of the explosion-proof valve 1000 is prolonged, and the use cost of the explosion-proof valve 1000 is reduced, so as to prolong the service life of the battery monomer and reduce the use cost of the battery monomer.
[0093] Meanwhile, by setting the air inlet and exhaust passage 230 communicating with the containing cavity in the valve core assembly 200, the communication between the containing cavity and the external space is realized, so that when the internal air pressure of the containing cavity is greater than the external air pressure, the gas in the containing cavity can be exhausted to the outside through the air inlet and exhaust passage 230; when the internal air pressure of the containing cavity is less than the external air pressure, the external gas can be supplemented into the containing cavity through the air inlet and exhaust passage 230, so as to balance the internal and external pressures of the battery monomer, improve the use safety of the battery monomer, and prolong the service life of the battery monomer, and the explosion-proof valve 1000 of the present application contains three working conditions, which ensures the working performance of the explosion-proof valve 1000 to a certain extent.
[0094] Most notably, the valve core 210 and the valve rod 220 are formed as an integral part in the present application, which eliminates the connection between the valve core 210 and the valve rod 220, reduces the assembly difficulty of the valve core assembly 200, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty of the explosion-proof valve 1000, improving the assembly efficiency of the explosion-proof valve 1000, and facilitating the molding difficulty of the air inlet and exhaust passage 230, which ensures the working performance of the air inlet and exhaust passage 230 to a certain extent.
[0095] It can be understood that, compared with the prior art, the explosion-proof valve 1000 of the present application not only can realize rapid exhaust when the battery monomer is out of control, but also can balance the internal and external air pressures of the battery monomer, and solves the technical problem that the valve core 210 and the valve rod 220 need to be connected by threads in the prior art, which leads to complex part installation process.
[0096] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 as shown, the valve body 100 is provided with a plurality of exhaust holes 120, and the valve core 210 is arranged opposite to the plurality of exhaust holes 120, so that the valve core 210 can simultaneously open or block the plurality of exhaust holes 120, wherein when the valve core 210 simultaneously opens the plurality of exhaust holes 120, the area of the exhaust hole 120 can be ensured, so that the gas in the containing cavity can be quickly exhausted to achieve the purpose of explosion-proof and improve the use safety of the battery monomer.
[0097] In the description of the present application, unless otherwise stated, the meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more.
[0098] In some embodiments, the valve core 210 and the valve rod 220 are nylon parts, polyphenylene sulfide parts or polyurethane parts. Here, it is referred to that the valve core 210 and the valve rod 220 are nylon parts; or, the valve core 210 and the valve rod 220 are polyphenylene sulfide parts; or, the valve core 210 and the valve rod 220 are polyurethane parts, so that the valve core 210 and the valve rod 220 are formed as plastic parts, which can reduce the production cost of the valve core 210 and the valve rod 220 on the one hand, and can also make the valve core 210 and the valve rod 220 be formed as an integral part, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty of the valve core 210 and the valve rod 220, so that the explosion-proof valve 1000 has the advantages of low production cost, small assembly difficulty and high assembly efficiency, thereby solving the technical problems of complex installation process and high processing cost of the valve core 210 and the valve rod 220 in the prior art.
[0099] In some embodiments, the valve core 210 and the valve rod 220 are made of PA66 (polyhexanediamine caprolactam), so that the valve core 210 and the valve rod 220 are formed as nylon parts, which can not only facilitate the valve core 210 and the valve rod 220 to be formed as an integral part, but also can improve the structural strength of the valve core 210 and the valve rod 220, and make the valve core 210 and the valve rod 220 have good wear resistance and fatigue resistance, thereby prolonging the service life of the valve core 210 and the valve rod 220.
[0100] In other embodiments, the valve core 210 and the valve rod 220 are made of PPS (Polyphenylene sulfide, polyphenylene sulfide), so that the valve core 210 and the valve rod 220 are formed as polyphenylene sulfide parts, which can not only facilitate the valve core 210 and the valve rod 220 to be formed as an integral part, but also can improve the structural strength of the valve core 210 and the valve rod 220, so that the valve core 210 and the valve rod 220 can still maintain stable performance when subjected to heavy load and impact.
[0101] In other embodiments, the valve core 210 and the valve rod 220 are made of PU (Polyurethane, polyurethane), so that the valve core 210 and the valve rod 220 are formed as polyurethane parts, which not only facilitate the valve core 210 and the valve rod 220 to be formed as an integral part, but also can make the valve core 210 and the valve rod 220 have excellent wear resistance, elasticity, tear strength and chemical corrosion resistance.
[0102] In some embodiments, the valve core 210 and the valve rod 220 are processed by an injection molding process, so that the valve core 210 and the valve rod 220 are formed as an integral part, thereby reducing the processing difficulty of the valve core 210 and the valve rod 220.
[0103] In summary, the valve core assembly 200 integrates the valve core 210 and the valve rod 220 made of original metal machining into an integral structure by an injection molding process, thereby solving the technical problems of complex installation process and high processing cost of the valve core 210 and the valve rod 220 in the prior art.
[0104] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the air inlet and outlet passage 230 comprises a first passage 231 and a second passage 232 connected with each other, the first passage 231 is arranged on the valve rod 220 and communicates with the accommodating cavity, and the second passage 232 is arranged on the valve core 210 and is adapted to communicate with the external space of the explosion-proof valve 1000. In this way, the air inlet and outlet passage 230 can also be used to realize the communication between the accommodating cavity and the external space of the explosion-proof valve 1000, so as to introduce the air in the external space into the accommodating cavity through the air inlet and outlet passage 230, and also enable the air in the accommodating cavity to be discharged to the external space of the explosion-proof valve 1000 through the air inlet and outlet passage 230, so that when the internal air pressure of the accommodating cavity is greater than the external air pressure, the gas in the accommodating cavity can be discharged to the outside through the air inlet and outlet passage 230; when the internal air pressure of the accommodating cavity is less than the external air pressure, the external gas can be supplemented into the accommodating cavity through the air inlet and outlet passage 230, so as to balance the internal and external pressures of the battery monomer and improve the use safety of the battery monomer.
[0105] At the same time, by arranging the air inlet and outlet passage 230 to comprise the first passage 231 and the second passage 232 connected with each other, the forming difficulty of the air inlet and outlet passage 230 can also be reduced.
[0106] In addition, by arranging the first passage 231 on the valve rod 220 and the second passage 232 on the valve core 210, the extension directions of the first passage 231 and the second passage 232 can also be made different, so that when the external gas is supplemented into the accommodating cavity through the air inlet and outlet passage 230, the first passage 231 and the second passage 232 with different extension directions can be used to block part of the dust, so as to avoid the entry of dust and other foreign matters into the battery monomer to a certain extent, and ensure the normal work and use safety of the battery monomer.
[0107] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 , the second passage 232 has at least one bending portion. When the air flows along the extension direction of the second passage 232, the bending portion can prevent part of the water, dust and other foreign matters from flowing, especially when the external gas is supplemented into the accommodating cavity through the air inlet and outlet passage 230, the entry of water, dust and other foreign matters into the battery monomer can be avoided to a certain extent, so as to ensure the normal work and use safety of the battery monomer.
[0108] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, the second channel 232 has a plurality of bending portions arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the second channel 232, and the plurality of bending portions can improve the effect of preventing the flow of water, dust and other foreign matters along the extension direction of the second channel 232, thereby to a certain extent avoiding the water, dust and other foreign matters from entering the battery monomer, so as to ensure the normal work and safe use of the battery monomer.
[0109] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 8 , the second channel 232 includes a plurality of first portions 2322 extending along the circumference of the valve core 210 and a plurality of second portions 2323 extending along the radial direction of the valve core 210, and the first portion 2322 and the second portion 2323 adjacent thereto define a bending portion. That is, the second channel 232 is arranged to include a plurality of first portions 2322 extending along the circumference of the valve core 210 and a plurality of second portions 2323 extending along the radial direction of the valve core 210, and the first portion 2322 and the second portion 2323 cooperate to define a bending portion, so as to reduce the difficulty of forming the bending portion, thereby facilitating the use of the second channel 232 to prevent water, dust and other foreign matters from entering the battery monomer.
[0110] In some embodiments, the opposite ends of the second portion 2323 are respectively connected to a first portion 2322, and the connection between the second portion 2323 and the first portion 2322 forms a bending portion, so as to reduce the difficulty of forming the bending portion.
[0111] In some embodiments, as shown in , the bending portion can be formed as an arc-shaped channel connected between the second portion 2323 and the first portion 2322.
[0112] Figure 1 In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 , a waterproof and breathable member 300 (the specific structure of the waterproof and breathable member 300 can be referred to in Figure 12 ) is arranged between the first channel 231 and the second channel 232. Since the waterproof and breathable member 300 has both air permeability and waterproofness, by arranging the waterproof and breathable member 300 between the first channel 231 and the second channel 232, the gas can flow between the first channel 231 and the second channel 232, while the water between the first channel 231 and the second channel 232 can be prevented from flowing, so as to further prevent water, dust and other foreign matters from entering the battery monomer through the second channel 232, so as to ensure the normal work and safe use of the battery monomer.
[0113] In some embodiments, the waterproof and breathable member 300 is formed as a waterproof and breathable film, which is a thin film having a microporous structure with a pore size larger than that of air molecules but much smaller than that of water and dust particles, so that air molecules can pass through the waterproof and breathable member 300 smoothly, while water and dust and other foreign matters cannot pass through the waterproof and breathable member 300, so as to prevent water, dust and other foreign matters from entering the inside of the battery monomer by using the waterproof and breathable member 300.
[0114] Optionally, the waterproof and breathable member 300 is made of E-PTFE (expanded Polytetrafluoroethylene), so that the waterproof and breathable member 300 is formed as a waterproof and breathable film, and the air permeability and waterproofness of the waterproof and breathable member 300 are ensured.
[0115] That is, the explosion-proof valve 1000 of the present application not only can balance the pressure inside and outside the battery monomer, but also can prevent water, dust and other foreign matters from entering the inside of the battery monomer.
[0116] It should be noted that, since the waterproof and breathable member 300 is arranged between the first passage 231 and the second passage 232, by arranging the second passage 232 to have at least one bending portion, it can also to some extent avoid the external dust, soil and other foreign matters from contacting the waterproof and breathable member 300 through the second passage 232, so as to ensure the air permeability of the waterproof and breathable member 300 to some extent, so that the explosion-proof valve 1000 can effectively balance the pressure of the battery monomer, thereby ensuring the working performance of the explosion-proof valve 1000.
[0117] That is, by arranging the second passage 232 to have at least one bending portion, not only can the external water, dust and other foreign matters be prevented from entering the inside of the battery monomer to some extent, but also the external dust, soil and other foreign matters can be prevented from contacting the waterproof and breathable member 300 to some extent, so as to ensure the air permeability of the waterproof and breathable member 300.
[0118] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 , a radial middle portion of the valve core 210 is provided with a first mounting hole 211 penetrating therethrough, the valve rod 220 is arranged opposite to the first mounting hole 211, the first mounting hole 211 is respectively communicated with the first passage 231 and the second passage 232, and the waterproof and breathable member 300 is arranged in the first mounting hole 211. In this way, the waterproof and breathable member 300 is arranged between the first passage 231 and the second passage 232, the assembly difficulty of the waterproof and breathable member 300 is reduced, so as to prevent water, dust and other foreign matters from entering the inside of the battery monomer through the second passage 232 to some extent, thereby ensuring the normal working and safe use of the battery monomer.
[0119] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5And Figure 6 As shown in FIG. 11, the inner wall of the first mounting hole 211 is provided with a first matching protrusion 213, and the waterproof and breathable member 300 is arranged in the first mounting hole 211, and the outer peripheral wall of the waterproof and breathable member 300 is in abutting and matching relationship with the first matching protrusion 213, so as to realize the interference fit of the waterproof and breathable member 300 and the first mounting hole 211, thereby enabling the waterproof and breathable member 300 to be stably arranged in the first mounting hole 211, improving the positional stability of the waterproof and breathable member 300, and to a certain extent, ensuring the working performance of the waterproof and breathable member 300.
[0120] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, Figure 5 And Figure 6 As shown in FIG. 11, the first matching protrusion 213 includes a plurality of first matching protrusions 213, and the plurality of first matching protrusions 213 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the first mounting hole 211, and the plurality of first matching protrusions 213 are matched for increasing the interference fit effect of the waterproof and breathable member 300 and the first mounting hole 211.
[0121] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 29 , Figure 30 , Figure 31 And Figure 32 As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the explosion-proof valve 1000 further comprises a pressing member 400, which is arranged in the first mounting hole 211 and is pressed against the side of the waterproof and breathable member 300 away from the first passage 231, and the pressing member 400 is provided with a first air permeation area 410, which is in communication with the waterproof and breathable member 300 and the second passage 232. Wherein, by arranging the pressing member 400 in the first mounting hole 211 and pressing it against the side of the waterproof and breathable member 300 away from the first passage 231, the waterproof and breathable member 300 can be pressed into the first mounting hole 211 by the pressing member 400, further enabling the waterproof and breathable member 300 to be stably arranged in the first mounting hole 211, improving the positional stability of the waterproof and breathable member 300, and to a certain extent, ensuring the working performance of the waterproof and breathable member 300.
[0122] At the same time, by arranging the first air permeation area 410 on the pressing member 400 and setting the first air permeation area 410 to be in communication with the waterproof and breathable member 300 and the second passage 232, the pressing member 400 can to a certain extent avoid hindering the flow of air between the waterproof and breathable member 300 and the second passage 232, thereby ensuring the working performance of the air inlet and outlet passage 230, and effectively balancing the internal and external pressures of the battery monomer.
[0123] That is, the pressing member 400 of the present application not only can press the waterproof and breathable member 300 into the first mounting hole 211, but also will not affect the air inlet and outlet function of the air inlet and outlet passage 230.
[0124] In some embodiments, the first air permeation area 410 can be an air permeation hole formed on the pressing member 400 (as shown in FIG. 12). Figure 32The air-permeable film can be a film formed on the compression member 400 (not shown in the example) or is not particularly limited here.
[0125] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 1 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the explosion-proof valve 1000 further comprises a cover plate 500, as shown in Figure 5 The second channel 232 is a groove formed on the valve core 210, the cover plate 500 is arranged on the side of the valve core 210 away from the valve rod 220 and seals the groove, and the opposite ends of the groove are respectively communicated with the first channel 231 and the external space. Among them, by setting the second channel 232 as a groove formed on the valve core 210, the forming difficulty of the second channel 232 can be reduced, and the forming difficulty of the intake and exhaust channel 230 can be reduced.
[0126] At the same time, by arranging the cover plate 500 on the side of the valve core 210 away from the valve rod 220 and sealing the groove, and by respectively communicating the opposite ends of the groove with the first channel 231 and the external space, the first channel 231 and the external space are communicated with each other, and the air entering the second channel 232 can flow along the extension direction of the second channel 232, and the air can flow through the bending part, so as to prevent water, dust and other foreign matters from entering the second channel 232, and ensure the normal work and safe use of the battery cell.
[0127] In addition, by arranging the cover plate 500 on the side of the valve core 210 away from the valve rod 220, the waterproof and air-permeable member 300 can be protected by the cover plate 500, so as to avoid the pollution or damage of foreign matters to the waterproof and air-permeable member 300 to a certain extent, prolong the service life of the waterproof and air-permeable member 300, and ensure the waterproof and air-permeable performance of the waterproof and air-permeable member 300 to a certain extent.
[0128] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the side of the valve core 210 away from the valve rod 220 is provided with a glue dispensing groove 212, and the glue dispensing groove 212 is used to accommodate glue to achieve the adhesive cooperation between the cover plate 500 and the valve core 210. In addition to reducing the connection difficulty between the cover plate 500 and the valve core 210, the cover plate 500 can also be stably arranged on the valve core 210 to ensure the working performance of the cover plate 500.
[0129] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the glue dispensing groove 212 comprises a plurality of glue dispensing grooves 212, and the plurality of glue dispensing grooves 212 are arranged at intervals along the radial direction of the valve core 210. The connection strength between the cover plate 500 and the valve core 210 can be increased by the plurality of glue dispensing grooves 212, so that the cover plate 500 can be stably arranged on the valve core 210.
[0130] Of course, in other embodiments, the cover plate 500 and the valve core 210 can also be fixedly connected by welding, clamping, or the like.
[0131] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 , the cover plate 500 is provided with a protruding portion 510 protruding towards the waterproof breather 300, the protruding portion 510 is used to press the waterproof breather 300, and the protruding portion 510 is provided with a second air-permeable area 511, which communicates the waterproof breather 300 and the second channel 232. Wherein, by using the protruding portion 510 to press the waterproof breather 300, the waterproof breather 300 can be pressed into the first mounting hole 211, so that the waterproof breather 300 can be stably arranged in the first mounting hole 211, and the position stability of the waterproof breather 300 is improved, and the working performance of the waterproof breather 300 is ensured to a certain extent.
[0132] At the same time, by setting the second air-permeable area 511 on the protruding portion 510, and setting the second air-permeable area 511 to communicate the waterproof breather 300 and the second channel 232, the protruding portion 510 can to a certain extent avoid hindering the flow of air between the waterproof breather 300 and the second channel 232, thereby ensuring the working performance of the air inlet and outlet channel 230, so as to effectively balance the internal and external pressure of the battery monomer.
[0133] That is, the protruding portion 510 of the present application not only can press the waterproof breather 300 in the first mounting hole 211, but also will not affect the air inlet and outlet function of the air inlet and outlet channel 230.
[0134] In some embodiments, the second air-permeable area 511 can be an air-permeable hole (as shown in Figure 13 ) formed on the protruding portion 510, or an air-permeable film (not shown in this example) formed on the protruding portion 510, which is not limited here.
[0135] It should be noted that when the explosion-proof valve 1000 includes the pressing member 400, the waterproof breather 300 can be directly pressed by the pressing member 400, and the protruding portion 510 on the cover plate 500 is omitted (as shown in Figure 33 and Figure 34 ), so as to simplify the structure of the cover plate 500 and reduce the forming difficulty of the cover plate 500.
[0136] Correspondingly, when the cover plate 500 is provided with the protruding portion 510 protruding towards the waterproof breather 300, the waterproof breather 300 can also be directly pressed by the protruding portion 510, and the setting of the pressing member 400 is omitted (as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 ), so as to simplify the structure of the explosion-proof valve 1000.
[0137] Of course, in other embodiments, the protruding part 510 and the pressing part 400 (not shown in the example) can be provided at the same time, and the cooperation of the protruding part 510 and the pressing part 400 can guarantee the pressing effect, so that the waterproof and breathable part 300 can be stably arranged in the first mounting hole 211, and the working performance of the waterproof and breathable part 300 is guaranteed.
[0138] In some embodiments, the protruding part 510 is provided with a clamping part, and the clamping part is clamped and matched on the valve core 210, so that the cover plate 500 can be stably arranged on the valve core 210.
[0139] In some embodiments, the clamping part can be understood as a clamping buckle, and the valve core 210 is provided with a clamping groove corresponding to the clamping buckle, and the clamping buckle is clamped and matched in the clamping groove, so as to realize the clamping and matching of the protruding part 510 and the valve core 210, and then realize the matching connection of the cover plate 500 and the valve core 210, so that the cover plate 500 is not only bonded with the valve core 210, but also clamped, and the position stability of the cover plate 500 is maximized.
[0140] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 13 , the cover plate 500 is provided with a third air permeable area 520, and the third air permeable area 520 communicates the second channel 232 and the external space, so as to realize the communication of the second channel 232 and the external space, thereby facilitating the balance of the internal and external pressures of the battery monomer by using the air inlet and exhaust channel 230.
[0141] In the description of the utility model, the features limited by "first", "second" and "third" can be explicitly or implicitly include one or more features, which are used to distinguish the description features, and there is no order and no difference.
[0142] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 , the second channel 232 includes a plurality of, and the plurality of second channels 232 are arranged along the circumference of the valve core 210, and the plurality of second channels 232 are all communicated with the first channel 231. The cooperation of the plurality of second channels 232 can increase the area of the air inlet and exhaust channel 230, so that the internal and external pressures of the battery monomer can be effectively balanced by using the air inlet and exhaust channel 230, and the service life and use safety of the battery monomer are guaranteed.
[0143] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 1 , Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the explosion-proof valve 1000 further comprises a driving member 600, which is configured to drive the valve rod 220 to move and drive the valve core 210 to block the exhaust hole 120. In this way, the valve core 210 can effectively block the exhaust hole 120 after the gas is discharged from the accommodating cavity, and the external water, dust and other foreign matters can be prevented from entering the battery monomer to a certain extent, so as to ensure the normal work and safe use of the battery monomer, and the explosion-proof valve 1000 can be repeatedly used, and the use cost of the explosion-proof valve 1000 is reduced.
[0144] In some embodiments, the driving member 600 is configured to drive the valve rod 220 to move and drive the valve core 210 to move towards the exhaust hole 120 after the internal pressure of the accommodating cavity is reduced, so as to block the exhaust hole 120, and the external water, dust and other foreign matters can be prevented from entering the battery monomer to a certain extent, so as to ensure the normal work and safe use of the battery monomer.
[0145] In some embodiments, when the internal pressure of the accommodating cavity continuously increases, the internal gas pressure can drive the valve rod 220 to move and drive the valve core 210 to move away from the exhaust hole 120 to open the exhaust hole 120, so as to ensure that the gas can be quickly discharged from the accommodating cavity when the battery monomer is out of control and the high-temperature and high-pressure gas is generated in the battery monomer in a short time, and the explosion-proof function is achieved.
[0146] That is, the valve core 210 moves away from the exhaust hole 120 under the action of the internal pressure of the accommodating cavity, and moves towards the exhaust hole 120 under the driving of the driving member 600, so that the valve core 210 can open or block the exhaust hole 120, and the difficulty of the reciprocating movement of the valve rod 220 relative to the valve body 100 is reduced, so as to ensure that the gas can be quickly discharged from the accommodating cavity when the battery monomer is out of control and the high-temperature and high-pressure gas is generated in the battery monomer in a short time, and the explosion-proof function is achieved, and the external water, dust and other foreign matters can be prevented from entering the battery monomer to a certain extent after the gas is discharged from the accommodating cavity, so as to ensure the normal work and safe use of the battery monomer.
[0147] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 1 , Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the explosion-proof valve 1000 further comprises a support member 700, which is arranged on the side of the valve stem 220 away from the valve core 210. The driving member 600 is an elastic member, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the valve stem 220, and the opposite ends of the elastic member are respectively abutted against the valve body 100 and the support member 700. Since the position of the valve body 100 is fixed during the exhaust pressure relief of the explosion-proof valve 1000, by abutting the opposite ends of the elastic member against the valve body 100 and the support member 700 respectively, the elastic member can be used to drive the support member 700 to move away from the valve body 100. Since the support member 700 is arranged on the side of the valve stem 220 away from the valve core 210, during the movement of the support member 700 away from the valve body 100 driven by the elastic member, the elastic member can be used to drive the valve stem 220 to move and drive the valve core 210 to move toward the exhaust hole 120 to block the exhaust hole 120, so that the valve core 210 can effectively block the exhaust hole 120 after the gas in the accommodation cavity is discharged from the accommodation cavity, which can prevent external water, dust and other foreign matters from entering the battery monomer to a certain extent, so as to ensure the normal work and safe use of the battery monomer, and the explosion-proof valve 1000 can be reused, thereby reducing the use cost of the explosion-proof valve 1000.
[0148] Meanwhile, by setting the driving member 600 as an elastic member, the structure of the driving member 600 can be simplified, the manufacturing cost of the driving member 600 can be reduced, and the blocking difficulty of the exhaust hole 120 can be reduced.
[0149] In some embodiments, when the internal pressure of the accommodation cavity continuously increases, and the force of the internal gas pressure acting on the valve core assembly 200 overcomes the driving force of the driving member 600, the gravity of the valve core assembly 200 and the friction force between the valve stem 220 and the valve body 100, the internal gas pressure drives the support member 700 to move toward the valve body 100, which not only drives the valve core 210 to move away from the exhaust hole 120 to open the exhaust hole 120, but also extrudes the elastic member by the cooperation of the support member 700 and the valve body 100, so that the elastic member is charged at this time. When the internal pressure of the accommodation cavity decreases, the elastic member has a driving force to drive the support member 700 to move away from the valve body 100, so as to control the valve core 210 to move toward the exhaust hole 120 to block the exhaust hole 120, thereby reducing the blocking difficulty of the exhaust hole 120.
[0150] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 15As shown, the elastic member is a spring, the spring is sleeved on the outer periphery of the valve rod 220 and abuts against the valve body 100 and the support member 700 at opposite ends, respectively, to realize that the spring is supported by the valve body 100 and the support member 700, so that the position stability of the spring is improved, and the elastic member can effectively drive the valve rod 220 to move and drive the valve core 210 to move towards the direction close to the exhaust hole 120 to block the exhaust hole 120 after the internal pressure of the accommodating cavity is reduced.
[0151] Of course, in other embodiments, the elastic member can also be a rubber sleeve, a silica gel sleeve, etc.
[0152] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 16 and Figure 17 , the support member 700 is a support plate, which can reduce the difficulty of forming the support member 700, and also has a certain structural strength, so that the support member 700 can effectively support the elastic member and ensure the working performance of the elastic member to a certain extent.
[0153] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 16 , one of the support member 700 and the valve rod 220 is provided with a buckle 221, and the other is provided with a clamping groove 710, and the buckle 221 is clamped and matched in the clamping groove 710. To achieve the support member 700 is arranged on the valve rod 220, realize the fixed cooperation of the support member 700 and the valve rod 220, and reduce the cooperation difficulty of the support member 700 and the valve rod 220, so as to support the elastic member by the support member 700, and ensure the working performance of the elastic member to a certain extent.
[0154] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 9 , Figure 16 and Figure 17 , the bottom of the valve rod 220 is provided with a buckle 221, and the support member 700 is provided with a clamping groove 710, and the clamping groove 710 is clamped and combined with the buckle 221. While achieving the fixed installation of the support member 700 to the valve rod 220, the elastic member can also be installed on the outer periphery of the valve rod 220 and fixed by the support member 700, so that the assembly process of the elastic member and the support member 700 is simple, and the assembly difficulty of the explosion-proof valve 1000 is further reduced, and the assembly efficiency is improved.
[0155] Of course, in other embodiments, the clamping groove 710 can also be arranged at the bottom of the valve rod 220, and the buckle 221 can also be arranged on the support member 700 (not shown in the example figure), so that the clamping groove 710 is clamped and combined with the buckle 221, and the support member 700 can also be fixedly installed to the valve rod 220.
[0156] In some embodiments, combined Figure 9 、 Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, a plurality of clips 221 are provided at the bottom of the valve stem 220, and a plurality of slots 710 are provided on the support member 700. The plurality of slots 710 are snap-fitted with the plurality of clips 221 to improve the connection strength between the support member 700 and the valve stem 220, so that the relative positions of the support member 700 and the valve stem 220 are stable, so that the support member 700 can be used to stably support the elastic member.
[0157] In some embodiments, combined Figure 11 、 Figure 18 and Figure 19 As shown, explosion-proof valve 1000 also includes a protective cover 800, which is mounted on one end of valve stem 220 and located around the outer periphery of the elastic member. On the one hand, protective cover 800 protects the elastic member, preventing foreign matter ejected from the battery cell during thermal runaway from causing the elastic member to become stuck, thereby ensuring the working performance of the elastic member and, in other words, the pressure relief effect of explosion-proof valve 1000. On the other hand, it also protects valve stem 220, preventing it from being manually moved during transportation. While preventing damage to valve stem 220, it also prevents damage to first seal 920 between valve core 210 and valve body 100, which could affect the sealing effect.
