[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0033] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 5 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.
[0034] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in a first aspect, a battery module is provided, having intersecting first directions X, second directions Y, and third directions Z, comprising: a battery cell unit 10, a circuit board 20, and a first protective component 30. The battery cell unit 10 includes a tab 12, and a plurality of battery cell units 10 are provided. At least one battery cell unit 10 is arranged along the first direction X to form at least one battery cell row, and at least one battery cell row is arranged along the first direction X to form a battery cell group. The circuit board 20 is disposed at one end of the battery cell group along the third direction Z near the tab 12 and is electrically connected to the tab 12. The first protective component 30 includes a first flame retardant 31, which at least covers the connection between the tab 12 and the circuit board 20.
[0035] In the battery module of this embodiment, the high-temperature smoke generated when the cell unit 10 thermally runs away is discharged from the end where the tab 12 is located. By covering the connection between the tab 12 and the circuit board 20 with the first flame retardant 31, the high-temperature smoke emitted by the thermally runaway cell unit 10 is blocked, the heat insulation capacity at the tab 12 is improved, thermoelectric separation is achieved, and the phenomenon of heat propagation is prevented.
[0036] It should be noted that in related technologies, thermal management technology mainly improves the thermal stability and heat dissipation capacity of batteries by adding liquid cooling plates and optimizing electrode materials. However, the impact of high temperature on electrical performance stability is often overlooked. High-temperature gas can cause local overheating at the electrical connection, accelerate the thermal runaway of the cell unit 10, and cause thermal propagation. In addition, high-temperature gas can cause thermal expansion of metal conductors, resulting in reduced electrical connection efficiency and affecting battery performance.
[0037] Therefore, in this embodiment, a first flame-retardant component 31 is used to enclose the connection between the tab 12 and the circuit board 20 to block the high-temperature gas generated by the thermal runaway cell unit 10, thereby achieving thermoelectric separation, reducing the occurrence of heat propagation, and improving the overall safety performance of the battery module.
[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the battery cell unit 10 also includes a main body 11 and an air bag 13. The air bag 13 is formed by extending the main body 11 from opposite ends along the third direction Z. The tab 12 extends from one end of the air bag 13.
[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, the battery cell unit 10 is a soft-pack battery cell. Specifically, the battery cell unit 10 is formed by wrapping the electrode group with an aluminum-plastic film. The aluminum-plastic film wraps around the outside of the electrode group and forms sealing edges at the opposite ends of the electrode group along the third direction Z. The aluminum-plastic film sealing edges serve as the air bag part 13 in this embodiment.
[0040] Specifically, the first flame-retardant component 31 is ceramic silicone foam. It is worth noting that while the ceramic silicone foam blocks the high-temperature smoke generated by the thermal runaway of the battery cell unit 10, it also uses its elasticity to protect the connection between the tab 12 and the circuit board 20, preventing the tab 12 from being disconnected from the circuit board 20 due to external forces.
[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, the battery cell group is formed by thirteen battery cell units 10 arranged in a "3-3-1-3-3" manner. That is, the battery cell group is composed of five battery cell rows, of which the battery cell row in the middle position has only one battery cell unit 10, and the remaining battery cell rows are all formed by three battery cell units 10.
[0042] It should be noted that in other alternative implementations, the arrangement order of the cell arrays and the number of cell units 10 in each cell array can be adjusted according to different needs.
[0043] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the first protective component 30 also includes a first fireproof element 32, which is disposed on opposite sides of the cell unit 10 and abuts against the cell unit 10. The tab 12 extends out between two adjacent first fireproof elements 32 along the third direction Z. The first fireproof element 32 provides heat insulation protection for the tab 12, further realizing the thermal-electric separation of the cell unit 10, preventing heat spread, and improving the safety performance of the battery module.
[0044] Specifically, the first fireproof component 32 is mica paper. It should be noted that two adjacent mica papers are bonded together. When the battery cell 10 experiences thermal runaway, the high-temperature gas emitted due to thermal runaway will break through the bonded mica paper and exhaust gas outward.
[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first fireproof component 32 includes an abutment portion 321 and a connecting portion 322. Two abutment portions 321 are provided, each connecting to one end of the connecting portion 322. The two abutment portions 321 abut against two adjacent battery cell units 10. The first fireproof component 32 is formed by connecting the abutment portions 321 and the connecting portions 322, resulting in a simple structure that facilitates inspection and replacement.
[0046] Specifically, the two abutting parts 321 and the connecting part 322 are connected to form a "U"-shaped first fireproof component 32. The "U"-shaped structure has strong buffering capacity and is not easy to break or fail.
[0047] It should be noted that the two sides of the mica paper can also be folded to form the abutment part 321 and the connecting part 322.
[0048] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4As shown, a notch 23 is provided on the circuit board 20. The electrode tab 12 includes a main body section 121 and a bent section 122. The main body section 121 is connected to the bent section 122, and the main body section 121 passes through the notch 23. The bent section 122 is set at a predetermined angle to the main body section 121 and is located at the end of the circuit board 20 away from the battery cell array, and is electrically connected to the circuit board 20. A first flame-retardant component 31 covers the bent section 122. By providing a notch 23 on the circuit board 20, the exhaust area is increased, ensuring rapid exhaust in the event of thermal runaway; at the same time, the heat generated by the circuit board 20 is reduced, thus reducing the impact of heat on the electrical connection.
[0049] Specifically, one end of the main body segment 121 is connected to the main body 11, and the other end of the main body segment 121 passes through the notch 23 on the circuit board 20 and is bent to form a bent segment 122.
[0050] Furthermore, the first flame-retardant component 31 is bonded to the tab 12. One end of the first flame-retardant component 31 is connected to the bottom of the circuit board 20, and the other end is bent synchronously with the tab 12 and covers the connection between the bent section 122 and the circuit board 20, so as to achieve all-round heat insulation and flame-retardant protection for the tab 12.
[0051] It should be noted that the function of the circuit board 20 is to support the overlap and soldering of the tab 12. Therefore, only the substrate at the overlap between the tab 12 and the circuit board 20 needs to be retained, thereby maximizing the exhaust area. In addition, the circuit board 20 will generate heat during operation. Opening a notch 23 on the circuit board 20 can reduce heat generation and reduce the overall weight of the battery module.
[0052] It should be noted that, provided that the current requirements of tab 12 are met, the length of tab 12 can also be cut.
[0053] In one embodiment, the battery module further includes a potting structure, which is connected to the end of the cell assembly away from the tab 12 along the third direction Z. The potting structure is also disposed on both sides of the cell assembly along the first direction X and both sides along the second direction Y. The potting structure is disposed at the end of the cell assembly away from the tab 12 along the third direction Z to ensure that the high-temperature fumes generated when the cell unit 10 experiences thermal runaway are discharged from the end where the tab 12 is located. By providing the potting structure on the periphery of the cell assembly along the third direction Z and at the end away from the tab 12, the exhaust direction of the cell unit 10 is further defined, preventing the high-temperature gas from spreading from the periphery of the cell assembly along the third direction Z and preventing heat spread.
[0054] It should be noted that the above-mentioned potting structure is formed by potting adhesive between the cell assembly and the battery pack housing 70.
[0055] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the battery module also includes a second protective component 40, which is disposed between two adjacent cell rows. By placing the second protective component 40 between two adjacent cell rows, heat insulation is provided for the adjacent cell rows, preventing overheating and heat spread caused by high-temperature fumes emitted due to thermal runaway, thereby improving the safety performance of the battery module.
[0056] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the second protective component 40 includes a second fireproof element 41 and a heat insulation element 42. Two second fireproof elements 41 are spaced apart along the first direction X, and the heat insulation element 42 is disposed between the two second fireproof elements 41. The heat insulation element 42 provides heat insulation for adjacent battery cells, and the second fireproof element 41 protects the heat insulation element 42 from flames generated in the event of thermal runaway.
[0057] Specifically, the second fireproof component 41 is mica paper, and the heat insulation component 42 is aerogel.
[0058] It should be noted that when the cell unit 10 experiences thermal runaway, flames may be generated inside the battery module. The flames may burn the aerogel, causing a decrease in the thermal insulation performance of the aerogel, or even causing the aerogel to melt. Therefore, a second fireproof component 41 is provided on both sides of the heat insulation component 42 to isolate the flames and ensure the thermal insulation performance of the heat insulation component 42.
[0059] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the second protective component 40 also includes a first buffer 43, which is disposed on the side of the second fireproof component 41 away from the heat insulation component 42 along the first direction X. The first buffer 43 buffers the compressive force between adjacent battery cells, improving the safety of the battery cells.
[0060] Specifically, the first buffer element 43 is foam.
[0061] Furthermore, the first buffer 43 can also be disposed between two adjacent battery cell units 10 to further improve the safety performance of the battery cell array.
[0062] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the circuit board 20 includes a board body 21 and a busbar 22. The busbar 22 is connected to the board body 21, and the board body 21 is connected to the electrode tab 12. The first protective component 30 also includes a second flame-retardant component 33, which covers the connection between the busbar 22 and the board body 21. By covering the connection between the busbar 22 and the board body 21 with the second flame-retardant component 33, high-temperature fumes are isolated from the busbar 22, further achieving thermal-electric separation and ensuring the safety of the battery module.
[0063] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, there are two busbars 22, which are respectively located at opposite corners of the board 21, forming the total positive busbar 22 and the total negative busbar 22 of the circuit board 20, so as to realize the electrical connection between the battery module and the external structure.
[0064] Specifically, the second flame-retardant component 33 is ceramic foam, which has heat insulation and cushioning properties.
[0065] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the battery module also includes a third flame-retardant component 50, and at least two third flame-retardant components 50 are provided, with at least one third flame-retardant component 50 provided on each side of the cell assembly along the second direction Y. The third flame-retardant components 50 provide heat insulation protection for the cell assembly in the second direction Y, further improving the safety performance of the battery module.
[0066] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, two third flame-retardant components 50 are provided, and are respectively provided on both sides of the battery cell assembly along the second direction Y.
[0067] Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the number of the third flame retardant 50 can be selected as other numbers according to actual needs, such as three, four, etc.
[0068] Specifically, the third flame-retardant component 50 is ceramic silicone foam. Ceramic silicone foam has heat insulation and flame-retardant effects, which can further improve the thermal insulation effect of the battery module. In addition, ceramic silicone foam is elastic and can absorb the force applied to the battery module by the second direction Y, thereby improving the safety performance of the battery module.
[0069] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the battery module also includes a third protective component 60. There are two third protective components 60, which are respectively located on both sides of the cell assembly along the first direction X. When the battery module is placed into the battery pack housing 70, the third protective components 60 support the entire battery module, ensuring the stability and reliability of the battery module within the housing 70.
[0070] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the third protective component 60 includes a second buffer 61 and a partition 62. The second buffer 61 abuts against the side of the battery cell assembly along the first direction X, and the partition 62 is disposed on the side of the second buffer 61 away from the battery cell assembly along the first direction X.
[0071] Specifically, the second buffer 61 is foam.
[0072] Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the second buffer 61 can also be selected from other elastic and heat-resistant structures.
[0073] It should be noted that the mica paper in this embodiment can be replaced by other materials with fire-retardant properties, and the ceramic silicone foam can also be replaced by other materials with elasticity and heat insulation and flame retardant properties.
[0074] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in a second aspect, a battery pack is also provided, including the above-described battery module and a housing 70, wherein a receiving cavity is formed in the housing 70, and the battery module is disposed in the receiving cavity.
[0075] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the box 70 includes a box body 71 and a box cover 72. The box body 71 has an opening, and the box cover 72 is placed on the opening to enclose and form a receiving cavity.
[0076] Furthermore, the lid 72 is provided with ventilation holes, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the housing 70 also includes a breathable membrane 73, which is covered by the breathable membrane 74.
[0077] Preferably, the breathable membrane 73 is a waterproof breathable membrane 73.
[0078] It is worth noting that the breathable membrane 73 ensures air exchange between the housing 70 and the external environment while preventing external impurities and moisture from entering the housing 70, thereby improving the safety performance of the battery pack.
[0079] It should be noted that in other alternative embodiments, an explosion-proof valve can be used instead of the breathable membrane 73.
[0080] Furthermore, a fire-resistant structure is provided on the inner wall of the receiving cavity to improve the fire resistance of the battery pack.
[0081] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by the present invention.
