Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of explosion-proof valves, and more particularly to an explosion-proof valve, a battery cover plate and a battery. BACKGROUND

[0002] Under the background of rapid development of new energy vehicles and new type of electrochemical energy storage systems, the market demand for secondary batteries as core energy storage units is rapidly expanding. With the continuous expansion of application fields, the requirements for the performance of secondary batteries are becoming increasingly stringent, especially safety, which has become the most critical factor in the development of battery technology.

[0003] The explosion-proof valve is a key component in the safety design of secondary batteries, mainly used to provide a pressure release path when the internal pressure of the battery abnormally rises, preventing the battery case from rupturing or thermal runaway, thereby protecting the battery structure, maintaining battery performance and improving overall safety. It helps battery products meet safety standards and prevent safety accidents such as fires or explosions. In addition, the activation of the explosion-proof valve can also serve as an intuitive indication of battery safety issues, prompting appropriate measures to ensure the safety and compliance of the battery system in various application scenarios.

[0004] The size of the explosion-proof valve opening has a significant impact on the safety of the battery. The opening of the explosion-proof valve in the prior art is usually fixed in size, and a single-stage valve opening scheme is adopted. When the explosion-proof valve is set too large, the battery rapidly sprays flammable substances and flammable gases, and the sprayed flammable substances are often at a very high temperature, which can ignite the sprayed flammable gases when they come into contact with oxygen, causing severe combustion. The internal pressure of the battery rapidly rises as soon as thermal runaway is triggered; and when the explosion-proof valve is too small, it may not be able to release pressure in time, which can cause an explosion.

[0035] Various exemplary embodiments of the present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangements of components and steps, numerical expressions and numerical values ​​set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present application.

[0036] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the present disclosure, its application, or uses.

[0037] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0038] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0039] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to like items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0040] The explosion-proof valve 11 according to the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] like Figs. 1 to 4 As shown, the explosion-proof valve 11 according to the embodiment of the present application includes a explosion-proof disc 111 .

[0042] Specifically, the rupture disc 111 has a first opening area 1111 and a second opening area 1112, the area of the first opening area 1111 is larger than the area of the second opening area 1112, and the orthographic projection of the second opening area 1112 on the rupture disc 111 is located inside the orthographic projection of the first opening area 1111 on the rupture disc 111. At least a part of the outer periphery of the first opening area 1111 is provided with a first rupture score 1113, at least a part of the outer periphery of the second opening area 1112 is provided with a second rupture score 1114, the opening pressure of the first rupture score 1113 is greater than the opening pressure of the second rupture score 1114, and the rupture pressure of the first opening area 1111 is greater than the rupture pressure of the second opening area 1112.

[0043] In other words, the rupture valve 11 according to the embodiments of the present application is mainly composed of a rupture disc 111, wherein the rupture disc 111 can be divided into a first opening area 1111 and a second opening area 1112, the area of the first opening area 1111 is larger, the area of the second opening area 1112 is smaller, and the second opening area 1112 is located inside the first opening area 1111, that is, the orthographic projection of the second opening area 1112 on the rupture disc 111 is located inside the orthographic projection of the first opening area 1111 on the rupture disc 111. For example, the rupture disc 111 extends along the horizontal direction, under the projection of the projection light in the vertical direction, the second opening area 1112 is located inside the first opening area 1111 and does not exceed the first opening area 1111.

[0044] The rupture disc 111 is provided with a rupture score, for example, the upper surface of the rupture disc 111 is provided with a rupture score. Specifically, at least a part of the outer periphery of the first opening area 1111 is provided with a first rupture score 1113, that is, the first opening area 1111 can be provided with a first rupture score 1113 around the entire outer periphery, at this time the shape of the first rupture score 1113 is a closed ring, or the first opening area 1111 can be provided with a first rupture score 1113 around part of the outer periphery, at this time the shape of the first rupture score 1113 is a semi-closed ring with a notch. Similarly, at least a part of the outer periphery of the second opening area 1112 is provided with a second rupture score 1114, which will not be described here. In addition, when there is only one first opening area 1111 and one or more second opening areas 1112 on the rupture valve 11, the first rupture score 1113 corresponding to the first opening area 1111 can be used as the rupture score for completely opening the rupture valve 11.

[0045] It should be noted that the explosion-proof pressure of the first opening area 1111 is greater than that of the second opening area 1112, and the explosion-proof pressure is low in priority opening, that is, the second opening area 1112 is a priority opening area. It can be seen that by setting the first opening area 1111 and the second opening area 1112, the periphery of the first opening area 1111 and the second opening area 1112 is provided with an explosion-proof notch, the opening pressure of the second explosion-proof notch 1114 is lower, the hierarchical setting of the priority opening area is realized, and then the timely opening of the valve can be met under the premise of considering the structural strength of the explosion-proof disc 111, and the situation of misopening of the valve is not prone to occur.

[0046] In the embodiment, by including the first opening area 1111 and the second opening area 1112 on the explosion-proof disc 111, the first explosion-proof notch 1113 is arranged around the first opening area 1111, the second explosion-proof notch 1114 is arranged around the second opening area 1112, and different opening pressures are arranged for the first explosion-proof notch 1113 and the second explosion-proof notch 1114. When the internal pressure of the battery cell 3 rises, the low-opening-pressure area opens preferentially for initial pressure relief, and when the battery cell 3 is out of control, the high-opening-pressure area, i.e., the secondary and tertiary explosion-proof pressure areas, opens in turn, so that the internal pressure of the battery 1000 is rapidly relieved, and the technical problem of thermal runaway is solved. It should be noted that if two explosion-proof structure valves with different opening pressures are arranged on the battery cover plate 1, the cover plate structure will be more complex, the cost will be greatly increased, and higher requirements will be placed on the design of the internal winding core / stacked core. In addition, when thermal runaway occurs, the temperature in the middle area of the two explosion-proof structure valves is very high, and the combustible substances sprayed out may fall in the middle of the two explosion-proof structure valves and be ignited to cause a fire. In comparison, in the embodiment, by increasing the explosion-proof areas with different opening pressures, such as the first opening area 1111 and the second opening area 1112, on one explosion-proof valve 11, the above technical problems can be successfully solved.

[0047] Therefore, according to the explosion-proof valve 11 of the embodiment of the present application, by arranging the second opening area 1112 in the first opening area 1111, the first explosion-proof notch 1113 is arranged around the first opening area 1111, the second explosion-proof notch 1114 is arranged around the second opening area 1112, the opening pressure of the second explosion-proof notch 1114 is limited to be smaller, and the priority opening area is set, so that the explosion-proof pressure of the second opening area 1112 is low and the priority opening is realized, and then the multi-stage valve opening is realized. The multi-stage opening mode not only can avoid the situation that all the explosion-proof valves 11 are opened at low pressure, but also can reduce the spraying of high-temperature substances, reduce the probability of fire, and avoid the explosion caused by the increase of pressure.

[0048] According to one embodiment of the present application, the depth of the first explosion-proof notch 1113 is less than the depth of the second explosion-proof notch 1114, which can ensure that the explosion-proof pressure of the second opening area 1112 is low and the priority opening is realized.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present application, the first opening area 1111 is in the shape of an oblong, and / or the second opening area 1112 is in the shape of a circle, etc. For example, the number of the second opening areas 1112 is multiple, the multiple second opening areas 1112 are distributed along the long axis direction of the first opening area 1111, and the shapes of the outermost two second opening areas 1112 in the long axis direction can be a circle center, and the shapes of the middle second opening areas 1112 can be other shapes or the same circle center. In the present embodiment, the first opening area 1111 is set to be an oblong, which has the advantage of reducing the horizontal distance, so that the pole, the liquid injection hole, and the explosion-proof valve can be reasonably arranged; based on the shape of the first opening area 1111, the second opening area 1112 adopts a circle, which can make the upper and lower two parts of the explosion-proof sheet 111 in the axial direction more easily used, while ensuring that the first explosion-proof notch 1113 and the second explosion-proof notch 1114 have a certain distance, so as to avoid mutual influence when the valve is opened.

[0050] According to one embodiment of the present application, the first opening area 1111 is in the shape of an oblong, the second opening area 1112 is in the shape of a circle, and the number of the second opening areas 1112 is multiple, the multiple second opening areas 1112 are distributed along the long axis direction of the first opening area 1111, which can further ensure that the second explosion-proof notch 1114 has a certain distance, so as to avoid mutual influence when the valve is opened.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present application, the shapes of the first explosion-proof notch 1113 and the second explosion-proof notch 1114 are both annular, the explosion-proof pressure of the first opening area 1111 is 1.5 MPa, the number of the second opening areas 1112 is three, the diameter d1 of one second opening area 1112 is 0.4 cm < d1 < 0.6 cm, for example, d1 is 0.42 cm, 0.45 cm, 0.48 cm, 0.50 cm, 0.52 cm, 0.54 cm, 0.56 cm, 0.58 cm, or 0.59 cm, etc.; the explosion-proof pressure of the second opening area 1112 is 0.5 MPa-0.7 MPa, for example, the explosion-proof pressure is 0.5 MPa, 0.51 MPa, 0.52 MPa, 0.54 MPa, 0.55 MPa, 0.58 MPa, 0.60 MPa, 0.62 MPa, 0.64 MPa, 0.65 MPa, 0.68 MPa, 0.69 MPa, or 0.7 MPa, etc.

[0052] A diameter d2 of the second opening area 1112 is 0.6 cm < d2 < 0.8 cm, for example, d2 is 0.62 cm, 0.64 cm, 0.65 cm, 0.68 cm, 0.69 cm, 0.70 cm, 0.72 cm, 0.74 cm, 0.76 cm, 0.78 cm, or 0.79 cm, etc.; the anti-explosion pressure of the second opening area 1112 is 0.7 Mpa-0.9 Mpa, for example, the anti-explosion pressure is 0.7 Mpa, 0.71 Mpa, 0.73 Mpa, 0.74 Mpa, 0.75 Mpa, 0.76 Mpa, 0.78 Mpa, 0.80 Mpa, 0.82 Mpa, 0.84 Mpa, 0.86 Mpa, 0.88 Mpa, or 0.9 Mpa, etc.

[0053] A diameter d3 of the second opening area 1112 is 0.8 cm < d3 < 1 cm, for example, d3 is 0.81 cm, 0.83 cm, 0.85 cm, 0.86 cm, 0.88 cm, 0.90 cm, 0.92 cm, 0.95 cm, or 0.99 cm, etc.; the anti-explosion pressure of the second opening area 1112 is 1 Mpa-1.2 Mpa, for example, the anti-explosion pressure is 1 Mpa, 1.12 Mpa, 1.14 Mpa, 1.15 Mpa, 1.16 Mpa, 1.18 Mpa, 1.19 Mpa, 1.2 Mpa, etc.

[0054] It should be noted that the diameter of the second opening area 1112 described above can also be the inner diameter of the corresponding second anti-explosion notch 1114. Alternatively, the width of the second anti-explosion notch 1114 is about 0.3 mm.

[0055] In this embodiment, by limiting the diameter range of the three second opening areas 1112 to be different, the anti-explosion pressure of the corresponding second opening area 1112 can also be controlled to be different, and then the opening sequence can be controlled to be different. For example, the second opening area 1112 corresponding to the diameter d1 is defined as a first-level anti-explosion pressure area, the second opening area 1112 corresponding to the diameter d2 is defined as a second-level anti-explosion pressure area, the second opening area 1112 corresponding to the diameter d3 is defined as a third-level anti-explosion pressure area, and the first opening area 1111 is defined as a comprehensive anti-explosion pressure area. When the initial pressure relief, the low opening pressure area is preferentially opened, that is, the first-level anti-explosion pressure area can be preferentially opened. When the battery cell 3 gradually loses control, the second-level anti-explosion pressure area and the third-level anti-explosion pressure area can be sequentially opened. When the battery cell 3 completely loses control, the comprehensive anti-explosion pressure area is opened, so that the inside of the battery 1000 is rapidly relieved. The multi-level opening mode can reduce the ejection of high-temperature substances and reduce the probability of fire, and can also avoid the explosion caused by the increase of pressure.

[0056] According to one embodiment of the present application, the second opening area 1112 with diameter d2 is located at the center of the rupture disc 111 in the direction of the long axis of the rupture disc 111, the second opening area 1112 with diameter d1 is located at one side of the second opening area 1112 with diameter d2 in the direction of the long axis, and the second opening area 1112 with diameter d3 is located at the other side of the second opening area 1112 with diameter d2 in the direction of the long axis. For example, the direction of the long axis of the rupture disc 111 is the up-down direction, and the second opening area 1112 with diameter d1, the second opening area 1112 with diameter d2, and the second opening area 1112 with diameter d3 are sequentially arranged from top to bottom, so that the opening can be gradually performed from one end close to the long axis to the other end of the long axis in the direction of the long axis. It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, when the second opening area 1112 with diameter d1 is opened, the temperature of the periphery of the second opening area 1112 with diameter d1 is the highest due to the influence of the jet velocity, and the pressure of the rupture disc around the second opening area 1112 with diameter d1 is affected, so that the pressure of the rupture disc is gradually increased along the direction of the long axis in order to minimize the influence.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, the opening pressure corresponding to each second opening area 1112 is P, the diameter corresponding to each second opening area 1112 is d, the thickness corresponding to each second opening area 1112 is H, and the depth of the second rupture score 1114 corresponding to each second opening area 1112 is h, which satisfy the following relationship:

[0058] P=a x ;

[0059] wherein P is 0.5 MPa to 1.5 MPa; a is a correction coefficient corresponding to the opening of the second opening area 1112, that is, the correction coefficient applicable to the pressure of the rupture disc of 0.5 MPa to 1.5 MPa; and H is less than the thickness of the battery cover plate 1. In order to facilitate description, a can be divided into a1, a2 and a3, a1 is a correction coefficient corresponding to the opening of the second opening area 1112 with diameter d1, a2 is a correction coefficient corresponding to the opening of the second opening area 1112 with diameter d2, and a3 is a correction coefficient corresponding to the opening of the second opening area 1112 with diameter d3.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present application, the outer edges of the first rupture score 1113 and the second rupture score 1114 are spaced apart, so as to avoid that the opening of the first opening area 1111 causes the second opening area 1112 to be affected; and / or at least one of the first rupture score 1113 and the second rupture score 1114 is in the shape of a closed or semi-closed ring, so that the degree of rupture can be controlled by controlling the shape.

[0061] According to one embodiment of the present application, the number of the second opening areas 1112 is multiple, the depths of the second explosion-proof notches 1114 corresponding to two adjacent second opening areas 1112 are the same or different, and more levels of explosion-proof can be achieved.

[0062] The present application also provides a battery cover plate 1, comprising a cover plate body 12 and an explosion-proof valve 11, the cover plate body 12 is provided with a mounting hole, and the explosion-proof valve 11 is arranged in the mounting hole.

The shell 2 has a receiving space, and is provided with an open end communicating with the receiving space. The battery cell 3 is arranged in the receiving space, and the battery cover plate 1 is arranged at the open end. The battery cover plate 1 is any one of the above-mentioned embodiments. Since the battery cover plate 1 of the embodiment of the present application has the advantage of not being prone to thermal runaway, and the battery 1000 of the embodiment of the present application comprises the battery cover plate 1 of any one of the above-mentioned embodiments, the battery 1000 of the embodiment of the present application has the advantages of high safety, not being prone to thermal runaway, etc., which will not be repeated here.

[0064] Optionally, the battery cover plate 1 can be welded with the shell 2, for example, the cover plate body 12 is an aluminum plate, the shell 2 is an aluminum shell, and the aluminum plate is laser welded with the aluminum shell. Optionally, the explosion-proof valve 11 is laser welded with the cover plate body 12, and the connection is firm. Optionally, the positive pole 44 and the negative pole 47 of the battery 1000 are assembled by injection molding connection, for example, the poles penetrate through the through holes on the cover plate body 12, are clamped on the cover plate body 12 through the upper insulating rubber pad 49 and the lower sealing ring 43, and the lower plastic 48 can be clamped between the poles and the aluminum plate.
