Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] This application claims the benefit of priority based on Korean Patent Application No. 10-2022-0026196 filed on February 28, 2022, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
[0002] The present invention relates to a pouch cell venting detection device, and more particularly to a pouch cell venting detection device that uses a volume change of a pouch cell to mechanically detect whether or not a pouch cell is vented, and can immediately cut off voltage when venting occurs. [Background technology]
[0003] Secondary batteries are batteries that can be charged and discharged, unlike primary batteries that cannot be charged, and there are various types of secondary batteries, including nickel-cadmium batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, lithium-ion batteries, and lithium-ion polymer batteries. These secondary batteries are used not only in small products such as digital cameras, notebook computers, mobile phones, PDAs, and E-bikes, but also in large products that require high output, such as electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles, and in power storage devices and backup power storage devices that store surplus generated power and new renewable energy.
[0004] These secondary batteries are divided into pouch type and can type depending on the material of the battery case that houses the electrode assembly. The pouch type houses the electrode assembly in a pouch made of a flexible polymer material that has no uniform shape, while the can type houses the electrode assembly in a case made of a uniform material such as metal or plastic.
[0005] In this manner, the electrode assembly is housed inside the battery case, an electrolyte is injected, and the battery is sealed to operate as a battery. However, secondary batteries generate gas during the charging and discharging process. In particular, if the battery is overcharged or an internal short circuit occurs, excessive gas is generated inside the battery case, causing an increase in pressure inside the battery case, which leads to a decrease in battery performance.
[0006] Therefore, secondary batteries require a test process or device that performs venting to release internal gas to the outside. However, unexpected venting during the pre-safety review and testing process of pouch-type cells can cause contamination of the surrounding test site as well as lead to accidents due to electrolyte leakage from the venting point and insulation breakdown. In addition, during the venting process of a secondary battery, external air can flow into the inside of the battery, which not only reduces the battery's performance but also causes oxygen to react inside the battery, leading to battery fire or explosion, seriously threatening the safety of users. Therefore, a device that can instantly measure venting and cut off the voltage during pouch-type cell testing was needed.
[0007] For this reason, in the past, a gas sensor was used to detect whether or not the pouch cell was vented. However, gas sensors are expensive products, which is not only undesirable from an economic standpoint, but also has the drawback of requiring continuous monitoring by the user. Therefore, there is a demand for the development of equipment and devices that can automatically measure and activate venting without the need for expensive sensors. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0026] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in order to enable those skilled in the art to easily carry out the present invention. However, the present invention may be embodied in various different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the following embodiments.
[0027] In order to clearly explain the present invention, detailed descriptions of parts that are not relevant to the description or related known technologies that may obscure the gist of the present invention have been omitted, and in this specification, when referring to components in each drawing, the same or similar reference symbols will be used throughout the specification for the same or similar components.
[0028] Furthermore, the terms and words used in this specification and the claims should not be interpreted in a limited manner to their ordinary or dictionary meanings, but should be interpreted in a manner that is consistent with the technical ideas of the present invention, based on the principle that inventors can appropriately define the concepts of terms in order to best describe their invention.
[0029] EMBODIMENT 1 Fig. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a pouch cell venting detection device according to embodiment 1 of the present invention, and Fig. 2 is a side view illustrating a state in which the pouch cell venting detection device according to embodiment 1 of the present invention is attached to the pouch cell.
[0030] 1 and 2, the pouch cell venting detection device according to the present invention is an apparatus for detecting whether or not a pouch cell 10 including a pouch case 11 and an electrode lead 12 protruding from one side of the pouch case 11 is vented, and includes a main body 100, a rotating means 200, a rotating unit 300, a support stand 400, and a cell pressurizing block 500.
[0031] The rotating means 200 is provided on one side of the main body 100, and the rotating part 300 is rotatably coupled to the rotating means 200 on one side of the main body 100, and a joint surface 310 is formed on one side thereof to contact the electrode lead 12. The support base 400 is provided on the other side of the rotating part 300 facing the pouch case 11, and the cell pressurizing block 500 is coupled to an end of the support base 400, and a pressurizing surface 510 that presses the outer surface of the pouch case 11 is formed.
[0032] In this way, in the present invention, since the cell pressurizing block 500 applies pressure to the outer surface of the pouch case 11, a change in the volume of the pouch cell 10 causes the cell pressurizing block 500 and the support base 400 to move, which causes the rotating part 300 connected to the support base 400 to rotate. As a result, the change in the volume of the cell can be used to mechanically detect whether or not the pouch cell 10 is vented, and when venting occurs, the connection between the rotating part 300 and the electrode lead 12 is released, allowing the voltage to be immediately cut off.
[0033] Hereinafter, each component of the pouch cell venting detection device will be described in detail with reference to Figs.
[0034] FIG. 3 is a perspective view illustrating a main body of the pouch cell venting detection device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a perspective view illustrating a rotating means of the pouch cell venting detection device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 is a perspective view illustrating a rotating part of the pouch cell venting detection device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6 is an enlarged side view of a cell pressurizing block and a support stand of the pouch cell venting detection device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 7 is a side view illustrating an operation of the pouch cell venting detection device according to the first embodiment of the present invention before the pouch cell venting occurs. FIG. 8 is a side view illustrating an operation of the pouch cell venting detection device according to the first embodiment of the present invention after the pouch cell venting occurs. FIG. 9 is a side view illustrating the pouch cell venting detection device according to the second embodiment of the present invention.
[0035] 2 and 3, the body 100 is a central component of the pouch cell venting detection device, and may be configured to be coupled with the rotating means 200 and the rotating unit 300, and may be configured to be mounted in a cycle chamber, a high temperature storage chamber, or a die in a test process in which the pouch cell venting detection device according to the present invention is used. However, the pouch cell venting detection device according to the present invention is not necessarily used in a test process, and may detect whether or not the pouch cell 10 is vented during use by being mounted in a secondary battery module.
[0036] The shape of the main body 100 is not particularly limited, but may have at least one flat surface so that the rotating part 300 can rotate easily when connected to the main body 100, and a connection hole to which the rotating means 200 is connected may be formed in the flat surface or through the flat surface and the other surface.
[0037] Meanwhile, the main body 100 may include a stepped lead placement portion 110 so that the electrode lead 12 is placed on one side of the main body 100. As a result, the connection with the rotating part 300 can be easily maintained or released with the electrode lead 12 stably placed on one side of the main body 100. There is no limitation on the height of the step of the lead placement portion 110, but it is preferable that the width and length of the step be the same as or larger than the width and length of the electrode lead 12 in order to stably place the electrode lead 12.
[0038] Next, the structure of the rotating means 200, the rotating portion 300, the support base 400 and the cell pressurizing block 500 and the operation of the venting detection device for the pouch cell 10 based on the operation of each component will be described.
[0039] 2 and 4, the rotating means 200 may be provided on one side of the main body 100 and may be configured to fix the rotating part 300 to the main body 100, and may be configured to rotate the rotating part 300 in a first direction or a second direction opposite to the first direction. Here, the first direction may mean a clockwise direction with reference to FIG. 2, and the second direction may mean a counterclockwise direction with reference to FIG. 2. The rotating means 200 may include a first shaft member 210 and a first torsion spring 220, and the first shaft member 210 is coupled to protrude from one side of the main body 100, and the first torsion spring 220 may couple the first shaft member 210 and the rotating part 300 and provide a rotating force to the rotating part 300. Here, the rotating force may be a force generated by the elastic force of the first torsion spring 220. When the rotating part 300 is rotated by the pressure force transmitted by the cell pressurizing block 500 and the support base 400, the first torsion spring 220 of the rotating means 200 generates a rotational force due to torsion, and the rotating part 300 can be rotated by the rotational force. The operation of the rotating part 300 by the rotating means 200 will be described in more detail below.
[0040] Meanwhile, the first torsion spring 220 may be formed in a form that wraps around the outer circumferential surface of the first shaft member 210, but is not necessarily limited to this. The first shaft member may be formed hollow, and the first torsion spring may be inserted into the hollow.
[0041] 2 and 5, the rotating part 300 is configured to be rotatably coupled to one surface of the body part 100 by the rotating means 200, and is configured to maintain or cut off the voltage by connecting or disconnecting the electrode lead 12. For this purpose, the rotating part 300 of the present invention may be formed of a conductor.
[0042] Meanwhile, the rotating part 300 may have a joint surface 310 that contacts the electrode lead 12 on one side based on the position of the rotating means 200 connected to the rotating part 300, and a connection terminal 320 that is connected to an external device on the other side based on the rotating means 200. Here, the external device may refer to a current or voltage measuring device, and when the rotating part 300 is released from the joint surface 310 with the electrode lead 12 due to rotation, the voltage is cut off, and it is possible to detect whether venting has occurred in the external device connected to the connection terminal 320.
[0043] Meanwhile, the bonding surface 310 may be formed as an outwardly convex curved surface. The rotating part 300 is configured to rotate in a first direction or a second direction, and the bonding surface 310 is a surface of the rotating part 300 that bonds with the electrode lead 12. Therefore, in order to maintain the bond with the electrode lead 12 even when the rotating part 300 rotates by a predetermined angle, the bonding surface 310 may be formed as an outwardly convex curved surface, and also in order to minimize damage to the electrode lead 12, the bonding surface 310 needs to be formed as a curved surface.
[0044] Also, the bonding surface 310 may be formed such that the radius of curvature decreases toward the side where the pouch case 11 is located. That is, the radius of curvature of the curved surface of the bonding surface 310 may not be constant but may be formed asymmetrically. When the rotating part 300 rotates in the first direction, the pouch case 11 is in an expanded state before venting occurs, so the bonding between the bonding surface 310 and the electrode lead 12 needs to be maintained. Here, the first direction may refer to the direction in which the rotating part 300 rotates toward the side where the pouch case 11 is located. When the bonding surface 310 is formed such that the radius of curvature of the bonding surface 310 decreases toward the side where the pouch case 11 is located and the radius of curvature increases toward the opposite side of the side where the pouch case 11 is located, the bonding between the bonding surface 310 and the electrode lead 12 may be maintained even when the rotating part 300 rotates by a predetermined angle in the first direction, and when the rotating part 300 rotates in the second direction by the same angle as the predetermined angle, the bonding between the bonding surface 310 and the electrode lead 12 may be released.
[0045] 2 and 6, the support 400 is provided on the other side of the rotating unit 300 facing the pouch case 11, and connects the cell pressurizing block 500 and the rotating unit 300 to transmit the pressurizing force transmitted from the cell pressurizing block 500 to the rotating unit 300, or transmit the rotational force generated in the rotating unit 300 or the rotating means 200 to the cell pressurizing block 500. The support 400 may be hinged on the other side of the rotating unit 300, thereby transmitting the pressurizing force and rotational force generated in various directions to the rotating unit 300 or the cell pressurizing block 500 with minimized loss. In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, the support 400 may be hinged to the cell pressurizing block 500, thereby minimizing loss of the pressurizing force and rotational force.
[0046] 2, the cell pressurizing block 500 is configured to pressurize the outer surface of the pouch case 11, and more specifically, a pressurizing surface 510 formed in an outwardly convex curved surface can pressurize the outer surface of the pouch case 11. This makes it possible to effectively transmit the pressurizing force caused by the volume change of the pouch, and minimize damage to the pouch case 11 even when the cell pressurizing block 500 comes into contact with the pouch case 11.
[0047] On the other hand, the cell pressurizing block 500 is configured to transmit only the pressurizing force due to the volume change of the pouch case 11, and can be made of an insulating material.
[0048] Hereinafter, the operation of the pouch cell venting detection device according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.
[0049] During the charge and discharge process of the pouch cell 10, gas is generated by a reaction between the electrodes and the electrolyte inside the cell, and in this case, the pouch case 11 expands, and the volume of the pouch cell 10 increases. Here, since the pressure surface 510 of the cell pressure block 500 presses the outer surface of the pouch case 11, the cell pressure block 500 transmits the pressure force of the pouch cell 10 pressing the cell pressure block 500 to the rotating unit 300 in the direction D1 via the support 400 due to the increase in the volume of the pouch case 11, and the rotating unit 300 can rotate in the first direction R1 due to the pressure force transmitted via the support 400. However, even when rotated in the first direction R1, the joint surface 310 of the rotating unit 300 can still maintain the joint with the electrode lead 12. That is, the pouch case 11 expanding and the volume of the pouch cell 10 increasing is the state before venting of the pouch cell 10 occurs, so even if the rotating part 300 rotates due to the pressurizing force, the connection with the electrode lead 12 needs to be maintained and the voltage is not cut off. Meanwhile, when the rotating part 300 rotates, a rotational force in the second direction R2 is generated by the elasticity of the first torsion spring 220 described above, but since the pressurizing force due to the increase in the volume of the pouch case 11 is larger, the rotating part 300 can rotate in the first direction R1.
[0050] However, when venting occurs, the volume of the pouch cell 10 decreases rapidly, and the expanded pouch case 11 decreases in volume, causing the pressure force transmitted to the cell pressurizing block 500 to decrease rapidly, and the magnitude of the second direction rotational force generated by the rotation of the rotating part 300 in the first direction becomes larger.
[0051] Therefore, the first torsion spring 220 of the rotating means 200 transmits a rotational force generated as the rotating part 300 rotates in a first direction to the rotating part 300, and the rotating part 300 rotates in a second direction by the rotational force, and the connection with the electrode lead 12 at the connection surface 310 may be released. Here, the release of the connection with the electrode lead 12 may mean that venting has occurred in the pouch cell 10, and may mean that the rotating part 300 made of a conductor is separated from the electrode lead 12, resulting in an electrical connection being released and a voltage being cut off.
[0052] In this manner, the pouch cell venting detection device according to the present invention rotates in a first or second direction depending on the pressure applied due to the increase or decrease in the volume of the pouch case 11 and the magnitude of the rotational force of the first torsion spring 220, and the connection between the connection surface 310 of the rotating part 300 and the electrode lead 12 is maintained or released, thereby mechanically detecting whether the pouch is vented and cutting off the voltage. This is more economical than expensive gas sensors, and significantly reduces the possibility of malfunction, and can more accurately detect whether venting is occurring and automatically cut off the voltage, ensuring safety during the testing process of the pouch cell 10.
[0053] 2, 7 and 8, the venting detection device for a pouch cell according to the present invention may further include a support means 600 provided on one side of the body 100 and supporting the rotating part 300 by pressing the rotating part 300 in a first direction at an end of the rotating part 300. Here, the support means 600 pressing the rotating part 300 in the first direction may mean that the support means 600 presses the rotating part 300 in the opposite direction to prevent the rotating part 300 from rotating in a direction in which the connection with the electrode lead 12 is released or from rotating in a direction away from the pouch case 11. That is, the support means 600 prevents the rotating part 300 from rotating in the second direction when venting is not occurring, thereby reducing the risk of malfunction of the device.
[0054] The support means 600 may include a second shaft member 610 protruding from one side of the main body 100, a torsion arm 620 supporting the rotating part 300, and a second torsion spring connecting the second shaft member 610 and the torsion arm 620 and providing a rotational force to the torsion arm 620, thereby preventing the rotating part 300 from rotating in the second direction before venting occurs.
[0055] EMBODIMENT 2 The second embodiment of the present invention is different from the first embodiment in that the support 400 according to the first embodiment is composed of a first support 410 and a second support 420, and further includes a compression spring 430 provided between the first support 410 and the second support 420. Therefore, the other configurations of the pouch cell venting detection device can be understood in the same way as those explained in the above-mentioned first embodiment and illustrated in the drawings, and the same effects can be expected.
[0056] FIG. 9 is a side view of a venting detection device for a pouch cell according to embodiment 2 of the present invention.
[0057] 9, the support 400 according to the second embodiment of the present invention may include a first support 410, a second support 420, and a compression spring 430. The first support 410 is formed with a hollow with one side open, and the second support 420 may have one end connected to the cell pressurizing block 500 and the other end inserted into the hollow of the first support 410. The compression spring 430 is inserted into the hollow of the first support 410 and is provided between the other closed side of the first support 410 and the second support 420 to provide an elastic force to the second support 420.
[0058] When the volume of the pouch case increases, the rotating part 300 rotates in the first direction due to the pressure force transmitted to the cell pressurizing block 500 and the support stand 400. At this time, the compression spring 430 is also compressed between the first support stand 410 and the second support stand 420, but when venting occurs momentarily, the pressure force weakens and the elastic force of the compression spring 430 generates a rotation force that rotates the rotating part 300 in the second direction.
[0059] As described above, the pouch cell venting detection device according to the second embodiment of the present invention includes the compression spring 430 between the first support stand 410 and the second support stand 420, and thus obtains a rotational force due to the linear elastic force of the compression spring 430 in addition to the rotational force of the first torsion spring 220. As a result, the device can quickly detect the occurrence of venting and cut off the voltage at the same time.
[0060] The present invention has been described above using limited embodiments and drawings, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and various implementations are possible within the technical spirit of the present invention and the equivalent scope of the claims described below by a person having ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention belongs.
