Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of battery, in particular to a battery device and a power utilization device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Due to the advantages of high energy density, high power density, multiple cycle times and long storage time, lithium ion batteries and other batteries have been widely used in new energy electric vehicles.

[0003] At present, with the increasing requirement of lightweight for electric vehicles year by year, higher requirements for the lightweight of battery devices are put forward, and the use of composite box body is an effective means to reduce the weight of the box body. However, since the composite material cannot be welded with metal, the application of the composite box body is greatly limited. Therefore, how to solve the connection reliability of each structural part in the box body is an urgent problem to be solved. CONTENT OF THE INVENTION

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to improve the connection reliability of the structural parts in the box assembly of the battery device.

[0005] According to a first aspect of the present application, a battery device is provided, comprising a box assembly, the box assembly comprising:

[0006] a box having a cavity, a plurality of blocking parts are arranged on the side wall of the cavity, and the blocking parts protrude into the cavity; and

[0007] a plurality of beams are arranged in the cavity and connected to the box along a first direction, the beams extend along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and a containing space for placing battery monomers is formed between adjacent two beams;

[0008] wherein the plurality of blocking parts are located outside the outermost beam, and the blocking parts abut the outer surface of the beam; the box comprises:

[0009] two mounting racks are arranged along the second direction and extend along the first direction; and

[0010] a containing component is supported between the two mounting racks, the containing component is used to form the cavity, and the containing component comprises a composite material layer;

[0011] wherein the plurality of blocking parts are arranged on the containing component, and the plurality of beams are arranged in the containing component.

[0012] This embodiment, by providing a blocking part on the inner sidewall of the housing, can abut the outer surface of the outermost beam, reducing the strength requirements for the connection between the beam and the housing. When the battery cells in the outer housing space expand, they exert an outward tilting force on the beam. The blocking part prevents the beam from loosening, tilting, or tipping over. For the middle beam, since the battery cells in the housing spaces on both sides of the beam expand simultaneously, the force applied from both sides of the beam is not easily loosened, tilted, or tipped over, so a blocking part is not required to reduce the space occupied. Alternatively, blocking parts can be provided on both sides of the middle beam. This improves the structural reliability of the connection between the housing and the beam, thereby improving the reliability of the battery device.

[0013] The enclosure is designed as a combination of a mounting frame and housing components. By incorporating composite material housing components, the weight of the enclosure can be reduced, while also increasing the connection reliability of the battery device during installation. Because of the composite material housing components, the beams and housing components cannot be welded, making it difficult to guarantee the reliability of the connection between the beams and housing components. By incorporating multiple blocking parts on the inner sidewall of the housing components, the reliability of the connection between the beams and housing components can be improved.

[0014] In some embodiments, a plurality of blocking portions are disposed on the sidewall of the cavity extending along a first direction.

[0015] In this embodiment, multiple blocking parts are arranged on the side wall of the cavity extending along the first direction, so that the entire side of the blocking part can be used to apply blocking force to the beam, thereby optimizing the anti-tipping effect of the beam. Moreover, the blocking part is only located in the corner area between the side wall of the box and the outer side of the beam, and will not affect the installation of other accessories in the battery device in the area between the outermost beam and the side wall of the box.

[0016] In some embodiments, the outermost beam has blocking portions at both ends along the second direction.

[0017] This embodiment prevents the beam from tilting in the horizontal plane under the action of the battery cell expansion force by setting blocking parts at both ends of the outermost beam. The two blocking parts apply blocking force to both ends of the beam on the outer surface of the beam.

[0018] In some embodiments, the blocking portion is formed by protruding inward through the sidewall of the receiving member and a recess is formed on the outside of the receiving member, the recess being open on both the side and bottom of the receiving member;

[0019] The housing also includes multiple blocks, which are connected to two mounting brackets and are set one-to-one with multiple blocking parts. The blocks are inserted into the corresponding recesses from the outside of the receiving parts.

[0020] The embodiment sets the blocking part on the inner side of the mounting frame, and the blocking part is embedded in the recessed part to support and strengthen the blocking part, so that the blocking part reliably prevents the beam from tilting. Moreover, the recessed part is open on the side and bottom of the containing part, and although the mounting frame is provided with the stopper, the containing part is not affected by the stopper when being installed from top to bottom. In addition, the recessed part can ensure the structural integrity of the containing part and will not damage the sealing performance of the containing part.

[0021] In some embodiments, the containing part has an opening and is provided with a flange at the opening, and the mounting frame comprises:

[0022] a vertical plate;

[0023] a first support plate connected to the first end of the vertical plate and extending inwardly, configured to support the bottom of the containing part; and

[0024] a second support plate connected to the second end of the vertical plate and extending outwardly, configured to support the flange;

[0025] wherein the stopper is connected between the vertical plate and the first support plate.

[0026] The mounting frame of the embodiment can conveniently install the containing part of the composite material from top to bottom, and the bottom of the containing part can be directly supported on the first support plate, so that the mounting frame can provide stable support for the containing part and reliably bear the battery monomer with relatively large weight. The stopper is connected between the vertical plate and the first support plate, which not only increases the strength of the mounting frame, but also is embedded in the recessed part outside the blocking part to strengthen the blocking part, thereby achieving better anti-tilting effect.

[0027] In some embodiments, the stopper comprises:

[0028] a first plate extending in a first direction;

[0029] a second plate connected to one end of the first plate close to the beam in the first direction, and the second plate is perpendicular to the first plate; and

[0030] a plurality of reinforcing plates, each connected between the first plate and the second plate and spaced apart in a third direction, and the third direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction.

[0031] The L-shaped stopper of the embodiment can reduce weight, facilitate connection with the mounting frame, and also increase the structural strength of the stopper and improve the ability to resist deformation, so as to provide more stable support force for the beam.

[0032] In some embodiments, the stopper and the mounting frame are connected by welding, bolting or riveting.

[0033] The embodiment connects the stop block to the mounting frame by welding, which can increase the connection strength of the stop block, and make the stop block and the mounting frame integrally connected; the stop block is connected to the mounting frame by bolts, which is convenient for disassembly and adjustment, and can make the stop block as close as possible to the side of the beam near the blocking part, so as to provide better blocking effect; the stop block is connected to the mounting frame by rivets, which is convenient and efficient, and the connection strength is stable and reliable.

[0034] In some embodiments, the accommodating component includes a metal material layer and two composite material layers, and the metal material layer is clamped between the two composite material layers.

[0035] In the embodiment, the accommodating component adopts the layer structure of clamping the metal material layer by two composite material layers, which can not only reduce the weight, but also increase the structural rigidity of the accommodating component itself, so that when the beam needs to be connected with the accommodating component, the connection hole position is not easy to be pulled and broken by the beam under the action of the battery monomer expansion force, resulting in structural failure, and the connection reliability can be improved. Moreover, the protection capability of the bottom of the accommodating component can be effectively improved.

[0036] In some embodiments, the battery device further includes a plurality of fasteners, the beam adopts a hollow structure, and the bottom wall of the accommodating component and the bottom wall of the beam are sealingly connected by the fasteners.

[0037] In the embodiment, the beam is fixed from the bottom wall of the accommodating component, and the fastener only penetrates the bottom wall of the accommodating component and the bottom wall of the beam, so that the length of the fastener can be shortened, the installation is facilitated, the fastener does not need to penetrate the entire height of the beam, and the sealing is more easily guaranteed, thereby guaranteeing the waterproof capability of the entire box assembly.

[0038] According to a second aspect of the present application, a power device is provided, which includes the battery device of the above-mentioned embodiments. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0071] The battery cell can include a lithium-ion secondary battery, a lithium-ion primary battery, a lithium-sulfur battery, a sodium lithium-ion battery, a sodium-ion battery, or a magnesium-ion battery, etc. The embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0073] With the increasing demand for lightweight of electric vehicles year by year, higher requirements for the lightweight of the battery device are also put forward. In order to reduce the weight of the battery device, one of the current methods is to use a box body containing a composite material layer. However, when the beam is arranged in the box body, since the composite material cannot be welded with metal, or even if it is connected through a fastener, it is difficult to have high connection strength, and when the battery cell expands, the beam may be inclined or tilted, thereby greatly limiting the application of the composite box body.

[0074] Therefore, in order to solve the problem of affecting the connection reliability of the beam and the box body when the battery cell expands, an improved battery device is proposed.

[0075] The battery device of the embodiments of the present application is suitable for various electric devices. The electric device can be a mobile phone, a portable device, a notebook computer, an electric vehicle, an electric vehicle, a ship, a spacecraft, an electric toy, and an electric tool, etc.

[0076] As Figure 1As shown, the power utilization device can be a vehicle 200, for example, a new energy vehicle, which can be a pure electric vehicle, a hybrid vehicle, or a range extended vehicle, etc. Or the power utilization device can be a drone or a ship, etc. The vehicle 200 can include a cabin 201 and a vehicle floor 202, and the battery device 100 is arranged between the cabin 201 and the vehicle floor 202. The battery device 100 can be arranged at the bottom, head or tail of the vehicle 200, for providing power for the operation of the motor and other components in the vehicle.

[0077] The present application provides a battery device 100, as shown in the accompanying drawings, Figure 2 As shown, the battery device 100 includes a box assembly, which includes:

[0078] a box 10 having a cavity, a side wall of the cavity is provided with a plurality of blocking parts 5, the blocking parts 5 protrude into the cavity; and

[0079] a plurality of beams 3 are arranged in the cavity and connected to the box 10 along a first direction x, the beams 3 extend along a second direction y, the second direction y is perpendicular to the first direction x, and a containing space 4 for placing a battery monomer is formed between adjacent two beams 3;

[0080] Among them, the plurality of blocking parts 5 are located at the outer side of the outermost beam 3, and the blocking part 5 abuts against the outer surface of the beam 3.

[0081] Specifically, the cavity inside is used to contain a plurality of battery monomers, according to the shape, number, combination mode and other requirements of the contained battery monomers, the box 10 can also have different shapes and sizes, for example, the box 10 is in the shape of a rectangle as a whole. Further, the battery device 100 further includes a cover body for closing the opening of the box 10. In order to facilitate the maintenance of the battery device 100, the box 10 is detachably mounted on the power utilization device.

[0082] The plurality of beams 3 are arranged in the cavity and connected to the box 10 along a first direction x, and a containing space 4 for placing a battery monomer is formed between adjacent two beams 3, and one or more battery monomers can be arranged in each containing space. For example, two, three or more beams 3 can be arranged in the box 10. The outermost beam 3 and the side wall of the box 10 closest to the beam 3 along the first direction x have a reserved space.

[0083] The side wall of the cavity is provided with a plurality of blocking parts 5, the blocking parts 5 protrude into the cavity, for example, the blocking parts 5 can be in the shape of a cuboid, the blocking parts 5 are in contact with the outer surface of the beam 3, and are used to abut against the outer side of the end of the beam 3. There are two beams 3 located at the outermost side in the box 10, and the outer side of each beam 3 is provided with a blocking part 5.

[0084] Preferably, the blocking portion 5 is arranged close to the inner bottom surface of the box body 10 to achieve better anti-tilting effect. The blocking portion 5 can be connected to the bottom wall of the box body 10 to increase the structural strength of the connection between the blocking portion 5 and the box body 10.

[0085] For example, a plurality of battery cells in the same accommodating space 4 can be arranged in one group, or a plurality of groups are arranged side by side along the second direction y, each group of battery cells includes a plurality of battery cells arranged side by side and stacked along the first direction x, and the battery cells are vertically arranged, i.e., the thickness direction of the battery cells is consistent with the first direction x. The plurality of battery cells are constrained in the accommodating space 4 by the two adjacent beams 3, and when the battery cells swell, the swelling force is applied to the beams 3 along the first direction x.

[0086] The plurality of battery cells can be connected in series, in parallel, or in a mixed manner. The mixed manner means that some of the plurality of battery cells are connected in series and some are connected in parallel. The plurality of battery cells can be connected in series, in parallel, or in a mixed manner to form a battery module, and a plurality of battery modules are connected in series, in parallel, or in a mixed manner to form an integral whole, which is accommodated in the box body 10. Alternatively, all the battery cells can be directly connected in series, in parallel, or in a mixed manner, and the integral whole formed by the battery cells is accommodated in the box body 10.

[0087] The battery cells can be lithium ion secondary batteries, lithium ion primary batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, sodium ion batteries, or magnesium ion batteries, etc.

[0088] The embodiment can abut the outer surface of the outermost beam 3 by arranging the blocking portion 5 on the inner side wall of the box body 10, which can reduce the requirement for the connection strength between the beam 3 and the box body 10. When the battery cells in the outermost accommodating space 4 swell, an outward tilting force is applied to the beam 3, and the abutting effect of the blocking portion 5 can prevent the beam 3 from loosening, tilting, or tilting. For the middle beam 3, the battery cells in the accommodating spaces 4 on both sides of the beam 3 swell at the same time, and the force is applied to the beam 3 from both sides, so it is not easy to loosen, tilt, or tilt. Therefore, the blocking portion 5 can be omitted to reduce the occupation of the accommodating space 4, or the blocking portion 5 can be arranged on both sides of the middle beam 3. Thus, the structural reliability of the connection between the box body 10 and the beam 3 can be improved, thereby improving the reliability of the battery device.

[0089] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 a plurality of blocking portions 5 are arranged on the side wall extending along the first direction x of the cavity.

[0090] Optionally, the blocking portion 5 can also be arranged on the side wall extending along the second direction y of the cavity.

[0091] The embodiment sets the plurality of blocking portions 5 on the side wall of the cavity extending along the first direction x, so that the entire side surface of the blocking portion 5 is used to apply the blocking force to the beam 3, the anti-tilting effect of the beam 3 is optimized, and the blocking portion 5 is only located in the corner region between the side wall of the box body 10 and the outer side surface of the beam 3, and does not affect the arrangement of other accessories in the region between the outermost beam 3 and the side wall of the box body 10.

[0092] In some embodiments, the outermost beam 3 is provided with the blocking portion 5 at both ends along the second direction y.

[0093] The embodiment sets the blocking portion 5 at both ends of the outermost beam 3, and the two blocking portions 5 apply the blocking force to both ends of the outer surface of the beam 3, so as to prevent the beam 3 from tilting in the horizontal plane under the expansion force of the battery monomer.

[0094] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 The box body 10 comprises:

[0095] two mounting frames 1, which are spaced apart along the second direction y and extend along the first direction x; and

[0096] a containing component 2 supported between the two mounting frames 1, the containing component 2 being used to form a cavity, and the containing component 2 comprising a composite material layer;

[0097] The plurality of blocking portions 5 are arranged on the containing component 2, and the plurality of beams 3 are arranged in the containing component 2.

[0098] Specifically, the mounting frame 1 is made of metal, which can be made of steel or aluminum, for example, by rolling steel or aluminum profile extrusion. The two mounting frames 1 are open at both ends along the first direction x, and the containing component 2 is placed between the two mounting frames 1 from the top, so as to be supported between the two mounting frames 1.

[0099] For example, the blocking portion 5 and the containing component 2 can be integrally formed.

[0100] The embodiment designs the box body 10 as a structure combined by the mounting frame 1 and the containing component 2. By arranging the containing component 2 made of composite material, the weight of the box body 10 can be reduced, and the connection reliability of the battery device during installation can be increased. Since the containing component 2 made of composite material cannot be welded with the beam 3, it is difficult to ensure the connection reliability of the beam 3 and the containing component 2. By arranging the plurality of blocking portions 5 on the inner side wall of the containing component 2, the connection reliability of the beam 3 and the containing component 2 can be improved.

[0101] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 to Figure 7 The blocking portion 5 is formed by protruding inwardly through the side wall of the containing component 2, and a recessed portion 22 is formed on the outer side of the containing component 2, and the recessed portion 22 is open at the side and the bottom of the containing component 2.

[0102] The box 10 further comprises a plurality of stop blocks 6 connected to the two mounting frames 1 and arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of blocking portions 5, the stop blocks 6 being embedded in the corresponding recesses 22 from the outside of the containing component 2.

[0103] For example, the stop blocks 6 can be made of metal, and the stop blocks 6 are shaped to fit the recesses 22, so that the stop blocks 6 can form support for the blocking portions 5 from the recesses 22. The side of the stop blocks 6 close to the beams 3 is in contact with the side of the recesses 22, so that the stop blocks 6 can form effective blocking force for the beams 3 through the blocking portions 5.

[0104] This embodiment can play a supporting and strengthening role for the blocking portions 5 by arranging the blocking portions 5 on the inner side of the mounting frames 1 and embedding the blocking portions 5 in the recesses 22, so that the blocking portions 5 can reliably prevent the beams 3 from tipping over. Moreover, the recesses 22 are open on the side and bottom of the containing component 2, so that the containing component 2 can be installed from top to bottom without being affected by the stop blocks 6. In addition, such recesses 22 can ensure the structural integrity of the containing component 2 and will not damage the sealing performance of the containing component 2.

[0105] In some embodiments, as shown in Figs. 1-3, the containing component 2 has an opening and is provided with a flange 21 at the opening, and the mounting frame 1 comprises: Figure 6 Figure 7 a vertical plate 11;

[0106] a first support plate 12 connected to a first end of the vertical plate 11 and extending inward, configured to support the bottom of the containing component 2; and

[0107] a second support plate 13 connected to a second end of the vertical plate 11 and extending outward, configured to support the flange 21.

[0108] In some embodiments, the stop block 6 is connected between the vertical plate 11 and the first support plate 12.

[0109] For example, the vertical plate 11 is arranged perpendicular to the second direction y, and the first support plate 12 and the second support plate 13 are arranged perpendicular to the third direction z, so that the mounting frame 1 forms a Z shape. A plurality of first holes 131 are arranged on the second support plate 13 along the first direction x, and a plurality of second holes 211 are arranged on the flange 21 of the containing component 2 along the circumferential direction, and the fasteners pass through the first holes 131 and the second holes 211 to fix the containing component 2 to the mounting frame 1, at this time, the bottom wall of the containing component 2 is supported on the first support plate 12. The stop block 6 is connected between the vertical plate 11 and the first support plate 12.

[0110] For example, the vertical plate 11 is arranged perpendicular to the second direction y, and the first support plate 12 and the second support plate 13 are arranged perpendicular to the third direction z, so that the mounting frame 1 forms a Z shape.
