[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of batteries, in particular to a battery device, a power consumption device and an energy storage device. BACKGROUND
[0002] The battery device includes a box body capable of providing protection for the internal battery monomer. The anticorrosion capability of the box body in the related art is limited and the structure is complex. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL
[0003] The present application provides a battery device, a power consumption device and an energy storage device, which can reduce pitting and local corrosion, and effectively improve the anticorrosion performance and service life of the box body.
[0004] The first aspect of the present application provides a battery device, including a battery monomer and a box body, the box body including a box wall, the box wall enclosing a containing space, the containing space being used to contain the battery monomer; the box wall including a first wall, the first wall including a first structure layer and a second structure layer, the first structure layer and the second structure layer having a potential difference, and the potential of the second structure layer being lower than the potential of the first structure layer, at least one surface of the first structure layer being a protected surface, wherein each protected surface faces or faces away from the containing space, the second structure layer being arranged on the protected surface, and the second structure layer being configured as a sacrificial layer capable of reacting with corrosive substances.
[0005] The battery device provided by the present application includes a battery monomer and a box body, the box wall of the box body enclosing a containing space, the containing space being used to contain the battery monomer, thereby providing protection for the battery monomer in the containing space. On this basis, the box wall includes a first wall, the first wall including a first structure layer and a second structure layer, the first structure layer and the second structure layer having a potential difference, the potential of the second structure layer being lower than the potential of the first structure layer, and the second structure layer being arranged on the protected surface of the first structure layer, the protected surface facing or facing away from the containing space. Since the potential of the second structure layer is lower, during the contact with corrosive substances, the corrosion process is changed from the through corrosion in the thickness direction of the first wall to the lateral corrosion along the second structure layer first, and only after the whole layer of the second structure layer is corroded will the corrosion process be changed to the first structure layer. The second structure layer acts as a sacrificial layer in the corrosion process, has good corrosion resistance and the corrosion process is relatively uniform, reduces pitting and local corrosion, reduces the risk of failure of the box wall caused by serious local corrosion and cracking, and improves the service life of the box body. Compared with the scheme of setting a corrosion-resistant coating in the related art, the box body of the present application adopts a multi-layer structure having a potential difference, the second structure layer acts as a sacrificial layer and is uniformly corroded before the first structure layer, which can effectively improve the anticorrosion performance of the box body and the service life of the battery device.
[0006] In some embodiments of the present application, the projection of the second structure layer covers the projection of the first structure layer in the thickness direction of the first wall.
[0007] Here, the second structural layer can cover the first structural layer to provide more comprehensive protection for the second structural layer, and the second structural layer has a larger coverage area and a longer corrosion process, thereby further improving the corrosion resistance of the box body.
[0008] In some embodiments of the present application, along the thickness direction of the first wall, the first structural layer has a first thickness dimension, and the second structural layer has a second thickness dimension, and the first thickness dimension is greater than the second thickness dimension.
[0009] Here, the first thickness dimension of the first structural layer is greater than the second thickness dimension of the second structural layer, so that the first structural layer has higher structural strength as a base layer, thereby improving the impact resistance of the box body.
[0010] In some embodiments of the present application, along the thickness direction of the first wall, the second structural layer has a second thickness dimension, and the first wall has a third thickness dimension, and the ratio of the second thickness dimension to the third thickness dimension is greater than or equal to 0.03 and less than or equal to 0.2.

[0019] Here, because the potentials of different substructure layers are different, by arranging the sublayer thickness sizes of different substructure layers to be different, and as the potential of the plurality of substructure layers increases, the sublayer thickness size decreases accordingly, so that different substructure layers have similar corrosion resistance, and the effect of each substructure layer as a sacrificial layer is more balanced.

[0100] In some examples, the side of the first structural layer 210 facing the accommodation space 100 is the side to be protected, and the second structural layer 220 is arranged on the inner side of the first wall; in other examples, the side of the first structural layer 210 facing away from the accommodation space 100 is the side to be protected, and the second structural layer 220 is arranged on the outer side of the first wall; in yet other examples, both the side of the first structural layer 210 facing the accommodation space 100 and the side facing away from the accommodation space 100 are the sides to be protected, and the second structural layer 220 is arranged on the inner and outer sides of the first wall, respectively.
[0101] In some examples, the second structural layer 220 is arranged on the side of the first wall facing the corrosive substance instead of the anticorrosive coating, so that the anticorrosive coating is replaced by the second structural layer 220, and the processing technology is simple, facilitating production and reducing costs; in other examples, the second structural layer 220 is arranged on the side of the first wall facing the corrosive substance, and the anticorrosive coating is arranged on the side of the second structural layer 220 facing the anticorrosive structure, so that the combination of the anticorrosive coating and the second structural layer 220 further improves the corrosion resistance of the box wall 200.
[0102] In some examples, the first structural layer 210 and the second structural layer 220 comprise conductive materials, which include metal materials, carbon-containing materials, and conductive polymers, etc. The metal materials are, for example, stainless steel and aluminum alloy, the carbon-containing materials are, for example, graphite, and the conductive polymers are, for example, polyaniline and polypyrrole, etc.
[0103] In some examples, the structural layer made of metal material is formed by one or more of stamping, extrusion, and die casting, etc.
[0104] The battery device provided in the present application has a box with an accommodation space 100 for accommodating battery monomers 400, and the box wall 200 of the box encloses the accommodation space 100, thereby providing protection for the battery monomers 400 in the accommodation space 100.
[0105] On this basis, the box wall 200 includes a first wall including a first structural layer 210 and a second structural layer 220, the first structural layer 210 and the second structural layer 220 have a potential difference, the potential of the second structural layer 220 is lower than the potential of the first structural layer 210, and the second structural layer 220 is arranged on a protected surface of the first structural layer 210, the protected surface faces or is away from the containing space. Since the potential of the second structural layer 220 is lower, during contact with the corrosive substance, the corrosion process is diverted from through corrosion in the thickness direction of the box wall to lateral corrosion along the second structural layer 220 first, and then to the first structural layer 210 after the second structural layer 220 is corroded in its entirety. The second structural layer 220 acts as a sacrificial layer in the corrosion process, has good corrosion resistance, and the corrosion process is relatively uniform, reducing pitting and local corrosion, reducing the risk of box wall 200 failure due to severe local corrosion cracking, and improving the service life of the box.
[0106] Compared with the scheme in the related art that the anticorrosive coating is arranged at a high cost, the box in the present application adopts a multilayer structure with a potential difference, the second structural layer 220 acts as a sacrificial layer and is corroded in its entirety uniformly before the first structural layer 210, which can effectively improve the anticorrosive performance of the box and the service life of the battery device.
[0107] Referring to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments of the present application, the projection of the second structural layer 220 covers the projection of the first structural layer 210 in the thickness direction of the first wall.
[0108] In some examples, the thickness direction of the first wall is associated with the position of the first wall; for example, the box is arranged in the shape of a approximate cuboid, and in the case where the bottom wall or cover plate 200b is arranged as the first wall, the corresponding thickness direction is the height direction of the box; in the case where the side wall extending in the length direction is arranged as the first wall, the corresponding thickness direction is the width direction of the box; in the case where the side wall extending in the width direction is arranged as the first wall, the corresponding thickness direction is the length direction of the box.
[0109] In some examples, the second structural layer 220 is continuously covered on the first structural layer 210, and the surface of the second structural layer 220 contacting the first structural layer 210 can be a plane, a curved surface, or a special-shaped surface provided with a concave-convex structure.
[0110] The technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application, the second structural layer 220 can cover the first structural layer 210, so as to provide more comprehensive protection for the second structural layer 220, and the second structural layer 220 has a larger coverage area and a longer corrosion process, further improving the anticorrosive performance of the box.
[0111] Referring to Figure 4In some embodiments of the present application, the first structural layer 210 has a first thickness dimension T1 and the second structural layer 220 has a second thickness dimension T2 along the thickness direction of the first wall, and the first thickness dimension T1 is greater than the second thickness dimension T2.
[0112] In some examples, the thickness dimensions of the first structural layer 210 and the second structural layer 220 are uniformly arranged, and the first thickness dimension T1 is greater than the second thickness dimension T2.
[0113] In other examples, the thickness dimensions of the first structural layer 210 and the second structural layer 220 are non-uniformly arranged, and the minimum value of the first thickness dimension T1 is greater than the maximum value of the second thickness dimension T2.
[0114] The technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application is that the first thickness dimension T1 of the first structural layer 210 is greater than the second thickness dimension T2 of the second structural layer 220, so that the first structural layer 210 has higher structural strength as a base layer, improving the impact resistance of the box.
[0115] Referring to Figure 4 In some embodiments of the present application, the second structural layer 220 has a second thickness dimension T2 and the first wall has a third thickness dimension T3 along the thickness direction of the first wall, and the ratio of the second thickness dimension T2 to the third thickness dimension T3 is greater than or equal to 0.03 and less than or equal to 0.2.
[0116] It should be noted that the larger the ratio of the second thickness dimension T2 to the third thickness dimension T3, the larger the proportion of the second structural layer 220 in the first wall, and the second structural layer 220 is difficult to be corroded, which can effectively slow down the corrosion speed; the smaller the ratio of the second thickness dimension T2 to the third thickness dimension T3, the larger the proportion of the first structural layer 210 in the first wall, and the first structural layer 210 can provide effective support to improve the structural strength of the box wall 200.
[0117] In some examples, the ratio of the second thickness dimension T2 to the third thickness dimension T3 is greater than or equal to 0.03 and less than or equal to 0.11, for example, the ratio of the second thickness dimension T2 to the third thickness dimension T3 is 0.03, 0.05, 0.07, 0.09 or 0.11.
[0118] In other examples, the ratio of the second thickness dimension T2 to the third thickness dimension T3 is greater than or equal to 0.11 and less than or equal to 0.2, for example, the ratio of the second thickness dimension T2 to the third thickness dimension T3 is 0.11, 0.13, 0.15, 0.17 or 0.2.
[0119] The technical scheme of the embodiment of the present application sets the ratio of the second thickness size T2 and the third thickness size T3 within a reasonable range, so as to improve the corrosion resistance of the tank wall 200 while maintaining good support performance of the tank wall 200.
[0120] In some embodiments of the present application, the first structure layer 210 includes a first element, and the second structure layer 220 includes a second element, and the electric potential of the second element is less than that of the first element; and when the content ratio of the second element in the second structure layer 220 is 0.5%-3.5%, the second thickness size T2 is positively correlated with the content ratio of the second element.
[0121] In some examples, the first element is an aluminum element, and the second element is a zinc element, for example, the first structure layer 210 includes a 5-series aluminum alloy (containing a magnesium alloy) or a 6-series aluminum alloy (containing a silicon alloy), and the second structure layer 220 includes a zinc alloy; in other examples, the first element is an iron element, and the second element is a zinc element, for example, the first structure layer 210 includes a steel material, and the second structure layer 220 includes pure zinc, zinc-iron alloy, or zinc-aluminum-magnesium alloy, etc.
[0122] It should be noted that the higher the content ratio of the second element in the second structure layer 220, the more easily the second structure layer 220 is corroded, so as to protect the first structure layer 210 by sacrifice; and the lower the content ratio of the second element in the second structure layer 220, the better the corrosion resistance of the second structure layer 220.
[0123] In some examples, the content ratio of the second element in the second structure layer 220 is greater than or equal to 0.5% and less than or equal to 1.3%, for example, the content ratio of the second element in the second structure layer 220 is 0.5%, 0.7%, 1.0%, 1.2%, or 1.3%.
[0124] In other examples, the content ratio of the second element in the second structure layer 220 is greater than or equal to 1.3% and less than or equal to 2%, for example, the content ratio of the second element in the second structure layer 220 is 1.3%, 1.5%, 1.7%, or 2.0%.
[0125] In yet other examples, the content ratio of the second element in the second structure layer 220 is greater than or equal to 2% and less than or equal to 3.5%, for example, the content ratio of the second element in the second structure layer 220 is 2%, 2.5%, 3%, or 3.5%.
[0126] It should be noted that the larger the second thickness size T2 in the third thickness size T3 of the first wall, the more difficult the second structure layer 220 is corroded, and the corrosion speed can be effectively slowed down; and the smaller the second thickness size T2 in the third thickness size T3 of the first wall, the more easily the second structure layer 220 is corroded, so as to protect the first structure layer 210 by sacrifice.
[0127] For example, the content ratio of the second element in the second structural layer 220 is 0.5%, and the ratio of the second thickness dimension T2 to the third thickness dimension T3 is 0.03; the content ratio of the second element in the second structural layer 220 is 2%, and the ratio of the second thickness dimension T2 to the third thickness dimension T3 is 0.11; the content ratio of the second element in the second structural layer 220 is 3.5%, and the ratio of the second thickness dimension T2 to the third thickness dimension T3 is 0.2. Of course, the content ratio of the second element in the second structural layer 220 and the ratio of the second thickness dimension T2 can also adopt other corresponding relationships, which are not limited in the application.
[0128] In some examples, the content of the second element in the second structural layer 220 can be measured by a spectral analysis method such as X-ray spectrum or a chemical analysis method such as titration, etc., and the embodiments of the application are not limited thereto.
[0129] The technical scheme of the embodiments of the application is that the potential of the second element is less than the potential of the first element, so that the second structural layer 220 including the second element can be corroded before the first structural layer 210; the content of the second element in the second structural layer 220 is set in a suitable range, so as to maintain the structural stability and corrosion resistance of the second structural layer 220; the content ratio of the second element is positively correlated with the second thickness dimension T2, and the content of the second element can be reduced and the second thickness dimension T2 can be reduced, so as to realize the thinness and lightness of the box body.
[0130] Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of the application, the first structural layer 210 and the second structural layer 220 are arranged in a stacked structure, and the stacking direction of the stacked structure is the thickness direction of the first wall.
[0131] The technical scheme of the embodiments of the application is that the first structural layer 210 and the second structural layer 220 are arranged in a stacked structure along the thickness direction of the first wall, so that the second structural layer 220 is located on the inner side or the outer side of the first wall, thereby facilitating the provision of full-surface protection and improving the protection effect.
[0132] Referring to Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments of the application, the second structural layer 220 includes at least two sub-structural layers 221 arranged in a stacked structure, and adjacent two sub-structural layers 221 have a potential difference, and the potential of the at least two sub-structural layers 221 increases layer by layer in the direction of the second structural layer 220 towards the first structural layer 210.
[0133] In some examples, the thickness direction of the plurality of (including two) sub-structural layers 221 in the second structural layer 220 is consistent with the thickness direction of the second structural layer 220 and the corresponding first structural layer 210.
[0134] In some examples, in the two adjacent sub-structure layers 221, the potential of the sub-structure layer 221 far away from the first structure layer 210 is lower than the potential of the sub-structure layer 221 close to the first structure layer 210, and the sub-structure layer 221 far away from the first structure layer 210 is preferentially corroded.
[0135] In some examples, the potential difference of the two adjacent sub-structure layers 221 in the plurality of sub-structure layers 221 is kept consistent; in other examples, the potential difference of the two adjacent sub-structure layers 221 in the plurality of sub-structure layers 221 is set to increase or decrease.
[0136] The technical scheme of the embodiment of the present application is that the second structure layer 220 is set as a plurality of sub-structure layers 221, and there is a potential difference between the adjacent sub-structure layers 221, so that the plurality of sub-structure layers 221 can be corroded layer by layer, so as to greatly improve the service life of the corrosion resistance of the box.
[0137] Reference Figure 6 In some embodiments of the present application, along the thickness direction of the first wall, the sub-structure layer 221 has a sub-layer thickness size, and along the direction of the second structure layer 220 towards the first structure layer 210, the sub-layer thickness size of at least two sub-structure layers 221 decreases layer by layer.
[0138] It should be noted that the plurality of sub-structure layers 221 in the second structure layer 220 can have the same or different sub-layer thickness sizes, and since the potentials of different sub-structure layers 221 are different, the sub-structure layers 221 with the same sub-layer thickness size have different sacrifice efficiencies, and the sub-structure layers 221 with different sub-layer thickness sizes can be set to have the same or similar sacrifice efficiency.
[0139] In some examples, the difference of the sub-layer thickness size of the two adjacent sub-structure layers 221 in the plurality of sub-structure layers 221 is kept consistent; in other examples, the difference of the sub-layer thickness size of the two adjacent sub-structure layers 221 in the plurality of sub-structure layers 221 is set to increase or decrease.
[0140] The technical scheme of the embodiment of the present application is that since the potentials of different sub-structure layers 221 are different, by setting the sub-layer thickness sizes of different sub-structure layers 221 to be different, and as the potentials of the plurality of sub-structure layers 221 increase, the sub-layer thickness size decreases, so that different sub-structure layers 221 have similar corrosion resistance, and the effect of each sub-structure layer 221 as a sacrificial layer is more balanced.
[0141] In some embodiments of the present application, the first wall has a third thickness dimension T3 in the thickness direction of the first wall, the first structural layer 210 includes a first element, the second structural layer 220 includes a second element, and the sub-layer thickness dimension is positively correlated with the content ratio of the second element in the sub-structural layer 221 when the potential of the second element is less than the potential of the first element.
[0142] In some examples, the first element is an aluminum element, and the second element is a zinc element, for example, the first structural layer 210 includes a 5-series aluminum alloy or a 6-series aluminum alloy, and the second structural layer 220 includes a zinc alloy; in other examples, the first element is an iron element, and the second element is a zinc element, for example, the first structural layer 210 includes a steel material, and the second structural layer 220 includes pure zinc, zinc-iron alloy, or zinc-aluminum-magnesium alloy, etc.
[0143] In some examples, among the two adjacent sub-structural layers 221, the sub-structural layer 221 far from the first structural layer 210 has a higher content of the second element than the sub-structural layer 221 close to the first structural layer 210, and the sub-structural layer 221 far from the first structural layer 210 has a larger sub-layer thickness dimension than the sub-structural layer 221 close to the first structural layer 210, so that the plurality of sub-structural layers 221 have the same sacrifice efficiency.
[0144] The technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application is that the potential of the second element is less than the potential of the first element, so that the sub-structural layer 221 with a higher content of the second element can be corroded first to realize the layer-by-layer sacrifice of the second structural layer 220; the content ratio of the second element is positively correlated with the sub-layer thickness dimension, and the second thickness dimension T2 can be reduced by increasing the content of the second element, so that the different sub-structural layers 221 have similar corrosion resistance, and the effect of each sub-structural layer 221 as a sacrificial layer is more balanced.
[0145] In some embodiments of the present application, the content ratio of the second element in the sub-structural layer 221 and the sub-layer thickness dimension satisfy the following relationship: when the content ratio of the second element in the sub-structural layer 221 is 2.0%-2.5%, the ratio of the sub-layer thickness dimension to the third thickness dimension T3 is 5%-7%; or, when the content ratio of the second element in the sub-structural layer 221 is 1.3%-1.8%, the ratio of the sub-layer thickness dimension to the third thickness dimension T3 is 4%-6%; or, when the content ratio of the second element in the sub-structural layer 221 is 0.5%-0.8%, the ratio of the sub-layer thickness dimension to the third thickness dimension T3 is 3%-5%.
[0146] It should be noted that the content ratio of the second element in the substructure layer 221 is high, and the substructure layer 221 is more easily corroded, so that the substructure layer 221 is corroded before the substructure layer 221 at a high potential or the first structure layer 210; the content ratio of the second element in the substructure layer 221 is low, and the corrosion resistance of the substructure layer 221 is better.
[0147] In addition, the sublayer thickness size accounts for a large proportion in the third thickness size T3 of the first wall, and the substructure layer 221 is difficult to be corroded, which can effectively slow down the corrosion speed; the sublayer thickness size accounts for a small proportion in the third thickness size T3 of the first wall, and the substructure layer 221 is easily corroded, so that the substructure layer 221 is corroded before the substructure layer 221 at a high potential or the first structure layer 210.
[0148] In the embodiment of the application, the second structure layer 220 can be a single-layer structure, or the second structure layer 220 includes two, three or more substructure layers 221. For example, the second structure layer 220 includes a first sublayer 221a, a second sublayer 221b and a third sublayer 221c, wherein the first sublayer 221a is close to the first structure layer 210, the third sublayer 221c is away from the third structure layer, and the second sublayer 221b is arranged between the first sublayer 221a and the third sublayer 221c. In the corrosion process, the third sublayer 221c, the second sublayer 221b and the first sublayer 221a are corroded and sacrificed in turn.
[0149] In some examples, the content ratio of the second element in the third sublayer 221c is 2.0%-2.5%, for example, the content ratio of the second element in the third sublayer 221c is 2.0%, 2.1%, 2.2%, 2.3%, 2.4% or 2.5%; the content ratio of the second element in the second sublayer 221b is 1.3%-1.8%, for example, the content ratio of the second element in the second sublayer 221b is 1.3%, 1.4%, 1.5%, 1.6%, 1.7% or 1.8%; the content ratio of the second element in the first sublayer 221a is 0.5%-0.8%, for example, the content ratio of the second element in the first sublayer 221a is 0.50%, 0.55%, 0.60%, 0.65%, 0.70%, 0.75% or 0.80%.
[0150] In some examples, the ratio of the sublayer thickness dimension of the third sublayer 221c to the third thickness dimension T3 is 5%-7%, for example, the ratio of the sublayer thickness dimension of the third sublayer 221c to the third thickness dimension T3 is 5.0%, 5.5%, 6.0%, 6.5%, or 7.0%; the ratio of the sublayer thickness dimension of the second sublayer 221b to the third thickness dimension T3 is 4%-6%, for example, the ratio of the sublayer thickness dimension of the second sublayer 221b to the third thickness dimension T3 is 4.0%, 4.5%, 5.0%, 5.5%, or 6.0%; the ratio of the sublayer thickness dimension of the first sublayer 221a to the third thickness dimension T3 is 3%-5%, for example, the ratio of the sublayer thickness dimension of the first sublayer 221a to the third thickness dimension T3 is 3.0%, 3.5%, 4.0%, 4.5%, or 5.0%.
[0151] In some examples, the content ratio of the second element in the third sublayer 221c is 2.0%-2.5%, the ratio of the sublayer thickness dimension of the third sublayer 221c to the third thickness dimension T3 is 6%; the content ratio of the second element in the second sublayer 221b is 1.3%-1.8%, the ratio of the sublayer thickness dimension of the second sublayer 221b to the third thickness dimension T3 is 5%; the content ratio of the second element in the first sublayer 221a is 0.5%-0.8%, the ratio of the sublayer thickness dimension of the first sublayer 221a to the third thickness dimension T3 is 4%. Of course, the content ratio of the second element in the sublayer structure and the ratio of the sublayer thickness dimension can also adopt other corresponding relationships, which are not limited in the present application.
[0152] The technical scheme of the embodiment of the present application sets the content ratio of the second element in the substructure layer 221 and the sublayer thickness dimension in a reasonable correlation range, so that different substructure layers 221 have similar corrosion resistance, and the performance balance of each substructure layer 221 in the second structure layer 220 is improved.
