[0011]

[0013] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which the same or similar reference numerals represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0012] In one aspect, the present application proposes a battery pack cover 100 including a first substrate 10, the first substrate 10 having a thickness of a1 (mm) and a yield strength of b1 (MPa), and a second substrate 20, the second substrate 20 being a composite plate located on one surface of the first substrate 10, the second substrate 20 having a thickness of a2 (mm), and a tensile strength of b2 (MPa). Through detailed theoretical analysis and experimental research, the inventors have found that the strength of the battery pack cover 100 is primarily limited by the strength and thickness of the materials. The first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20 satisfy the condition 290≦a1·b1+a2·b2·c1≦1200, where c1 is a constant. Within the range of this strength formula, the battery pack cover 100 can meet the requirement of less than 2 mm of deformation when pressed. The battery pack cover 100 has high extrusion resistance and can be used as a sealing structure for a battery pack. The battery pack cover also has excellent support performance and can be used as a vehicle floor structure, allowing the battery pack cover 100 to be highly integrated with the vehicle floor. This saves installation space, reduces the overall vehicle weight, and meets safety requirements under extreme operating conditions.

[0013] According to some embodiments of the present application, the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20 satisfy the condition 320≦a1·b1+a2·b2·c1≦1000.

[0014] According to some embodiments of the present application, the thickness a1 of the first substrate 10 may be 0.5 mm to 2.4 mm. When the thickness of the first substrate 10 is 0.5 mm to 2.4 mm, the first substrate 10 has higher strength and better load-bearing support effect, occupies less space, and has less impact on the overall weight of the vehicle.

[0015] According to some embodiments of the present application, to ensure the voltage resistance performance of the battery pack cover 100, the yield strength b1 of the first substrate 10 may be 220 MPa to 800 MPa. According to some other embodiments of the present application, when the first substrate 10 is or includes a metal plate, the yield strength of the metal plate may be 220 MPa to 800 MPa. Specifically, the metal plate may be a galvanized steel plate. The surface of the steel plate can be effectively protected from corrosion by coating the surface of the steel plate with a layer of metallic zinc, thereby extending its service life. Furthermore, the thickness of the zinc coating layer of the galvanized steel plate may be 40 g / m or less. 2 ~80g / m 2 The battery pack cover 100 may have better load-bearing support capability through the metal plate construction.

[0016] According to some embodiments of the present application, the second substrate 20 may be a composite plate. The composite plate may be a resin-based composite plate. The composite plate has lower thermal conductivity and better thermal insulation performance than a metal plate. The composite plate also has electrical insulation properties and can effectively meet the high-voltage safety requirements of the battery pack cover 100. The composite plate includes a matrix resin and reinforcing fibers. For example, the matrix resin of the composite plate may include at least one of epoxy resin, polyamide resin, polyurethane resin, polyimide resin, polysulfone resin, and phenolic resin. According to some other embodiments of the present application, the reinforcing fibers may be a fibrous material having a melting point of 700°C or higher. Specifically, the reinforcing fibers may include at least one of glass fiber and ceramic fiber. See FIG. 6. Because the reinforcing fibers in the composite plate are arranged in a woven fabric layup with excellent woven anisotropy, the reinforcing fibers in the composite plate may be layered in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, the one shown in FIG. 6. Glass fiber is used as an example. The orientation of adjacent glass fibers in the same fiber layer may be perpendicular to each other, which can effectively improve the bearing capacity and tensile strength of the composite plate. The included angle between the orientation of glass fibers in adjacent fiber layers stacked in the first direction is not particularly limited. Those skilled in the art may adjust the included angle between the orientation of glass fibers in adjacent fiber layers based on actual conditions.

[0017] According to some embodiments of the present application, the second substrate 20 is a composite plate, which is formed by hot pressing. Hot pressing can cause changes in the orientation of the reinforcing fibers in the composite plate, such as fiber displacement and transition from a unidirectional continuous state to a free state. This results in fiber strength attenuation. To account for the difference in strength between before and after molding of the composite plate, a constant c is introduced to reflect the strength attenuation of the composite plate before and after hot pressing. The value of constant c = tensile strength of the plate after molding / tensile strength of the plate before molding. Therefore, a larger constant c indicates a smaller strength attenuation of the composite plate. Specifically, for resin-based composite plates, constant c is typically 0.5 to 0.9. From a process perspective, constant c is a value of process reliability, and the test method for constant c can be implemented based on the tensile strength test method. Here, it may be understood that the definition of constant c applies to c1 and c2.

[0018] According to some embodiments of the present application, the thickness of the second substrate 20 may be 0.6 mm to 2 mm. When the thickness of the second substrate 20 is 0.6 mm to 2 mm, the thickness of the second substrate 20 is appropriate, and the battery pack cover 100 occupies a small space. In the event of thermal runaway such as a flame combustion, a physical gap may be formed correspondingly, and the breakdown voltage resistance performance of the battery pack cover 100 can be effectively improved through the physical gap.

[0019] According to some embodiments of the present application, the tensile strength of the second substrate 20 should at least meet the requirements for supporting adjacent panels and withstanding pedestrian traffic in a vehicle. For example, the tensile strength b2 of the second substrate 20 may be 240 MPa to 550 MPa.

[0020] According to some embodiments of the present application, the second substrate 20 is a composite plate, in which the reinforcing fibers are distributed non-uniformly to some extent. Specifically, c1 may be 0.5 to 0.9. By incorporating a composite plate as the second substrate 20, the battery pack cover 100 can provide both thermal insulation and structural support, as well as prevent arcing in the event of a cell failure.

[0021] See Figures 2 and 3. According to some embodiments of the present application, the first substrate 10 may be a full-layer metal plate. See Figure 3. When the first substrate 10 is a full-layer metal plate, the second substrate 20 may be located on only one side of the metal plate, and the second substrate 20 may be a composite plate. In this case, the surface of the metal plate away from the composite plate may have a corrosion protection layer, which may be made of epoxy resin. In actual use, the composite plate may be arranged facing the functional module, such as facing the battery module. The composite plate is used to cover one side of the metal plate, and a corrosion protection layer may be formed on the surface of the metal plate not covered by the composite plate through an electrophoresis process to ensure the corrosion resistance of the metal plate, thereby meeting the electrical insulation performance and strength requirements of the battery pack cover 100.

[0022] According to some embodiments of the present application, when the first substrate 10 is a full-layer metal plate and the second substrate 20 is located on one side surface of the metal plate, the orthogonal projection of the second substrate 20 onto the first substrate 10 may be located inside the first substrate 10. The second substrate 20 may be a composite plate, i.e., the composite plate is disposed on a partial region of at least one side surface of the metal plate, and the composite plate may correspond to the upper surface of the battery. Specifically, see FIG. 5. The composite plate (i.e., the second substrate 20) is disposed on a partial region of one side surface of the metal plate (i.e., the first substrate 10), and the surface of the metal plate not covered by the composite plate is subjected to a surface anticorrosion treatment such as electrophoresis, so that the upper surface of the battery is covered with the composite plate. This improves the thermal insulation performance of the battery pack cover 100 and effectively prevents arc discharge during short circuits and thermal runaway. Therefore, during the manufacturing of the metal plate, the hole structure for fixing the battery pack cover 100 only needs to be formed in the edge region of the metal plate by a processing process such as a stamping process, and the second substrate 20 is disposed in an area that does not interfere with the hole structure. After the second substrate 20 is fixed to the first substrate 10 by hot pressing or bonding, the hole structure does not need to be formed again in the second substrate 20 by a stamping process. This simplifies the process flow and improves product yield. According to some other embodiments of the present application, when a composite material plate is disposed on a partial region of one surface of the metal plate, the width of the region on the surface of the metal plate that is not covered by the composite material plate may be 10 mm to 40 mm, thereby leaving a sufficient processing area for the hole structure for fixing. The surface of the metal plate may further have an anti-corrosion layer, which may be made of epoxy resin. This allows the battery pack cover 100 to meet the requirements for thermal insulation and electrical insulation performance. When the battery pack cover 100 is used as a vehicle floor, this is beneficial for a fixed connection between the vehicle floor and the tray.

[0023] According to some embodiments of the present application, the corrosion-resistant layer formed by the electrophoresis process can improve the corrosion resistance of the metal plate, which may include, for example, pre-treatment of the metal plate, acid cleaning, alkali cleaning, phosphate treatment, epoxy coating, electro-deposition coating, baking, etc.

[0024] In the description of this application, "plurality" means two or more. When the first substrate 10 is a metal plate, the yield strength of the metal plate may be understood to be the yield strength of the first substrate 10. Even when a reinforcing structure is disposed around the periphery of the first substrate 10, the yield strength of the first substrate 10 is still the yield strength of the metal plate, because in a strength test using a cylinder, a cylinder is pressed into the first substrate in the Z-axis direction, and in an extrusion resistance test, the maximum yield strength (of the metal plate) is usually taken.

[0025] According to some embodiments of the present application, the battery pack cover 100 may further include a third substrate 30, which is a composite plate. The third substrate 30 is located on the surface of the first substrate 10 that is away from the second substrate 20, i.e., the first substrate 10 is sandwiched between the second substrate 20 and the third substrate 30. The thickness a3 (mm), tensile strength b3 (MPa), and c2 of the third substrate 30 satisfy the condition 290≦a1·b1+a2·b2·c1+a3·b3·c2≦1200, and preferably 320≦a1·b1+a2·b2·c1+a3·b3·c2≦1000.

[0026] According to some embodiments of the present application, the thickness of the third substrate 30 may be 0.6 mm to 2 mm. When the thickness of the third substrate 30 is 0.6 mm to 2 mm, the thickness of the third substrate 30 is appropriate, and the battery pack cover 100 occupies a small space. In the event of thermal runaway such as a flame combustion, a physical gap may be formed correspondingly, and the breakdown voltage resistance performance of the battery pack cover 100 can be effectively improved through the physical gap.

[0027] According to some embodiments of the present application, when a metal plate and a composite plate are laminated, the third substrate 30 can play a role in supporting adjacent panels and withstanding the traffic load inside the vehicle. For example, the tensile strength b3 of the third substrate 20 may be 240 MPa to 550 MPa.

[0028] According to some embodiments of the present application, the third substrate 30 is a composite plate in which the reinforcing fibers are somewhat non-uniformly arranged. Specifically, for example, c2 of the third substrate 30 may be 0.5 to 0.9.

[0029] See FIG. 2. According to some embodiments of the present application, when the first substrate 10 is a full layer of metal plate, the metal plate may be sandwiched between the first composite plate (i.e., the second substrate 20) and the second composite plate (i.e., the third substrate 30). The two composite plates are used to completely cover the upper and lower surfaces of the metal plate, which can effectively improve the overall rigidity of the battery pack cover 100. The composite plate can also effectively isolate the metal plate from a complex external environment and achieve anti-corrosion effects. According to some other embodiments of the present application, when the metal plate is sandwiched between the first composite plate (i.e., the second substrate 20) and the second composite plate (i.e., the third substrate 30), the dimensions of the metal plate need to be smaller than the dimensions of the composite plate, thereby achieving complete coverage of the metal plate by the composite plate. According to some embodiments of the present application, the distance between the edge of the metal plate projected orthogonally onto the first composite plate and the edge of the first composite plate may be 2 mm to 10 mm, thereby sealing the edge of the metal plate and physically isolating the metal plate from the outside world, while meeting the electrical insulation performance and strength requirements of the battery pack cover 100 and preventing the metal plate from rusting or corroding.

[0030] According to some embodiments of the present application, the battery pack cover 100 may further include a reinforcing structure, which is a composite plate, and the reinforcing structure is at least partially disposed around the metal plate. Specifically, see FIG. 4 . The composite plate may include a first composite plate (i.e., the second substrate 20) and a second composite plate (i.e., the third substrate 30). The metal plate may include at least one sub-metal plate 111, and a third composite plate 123 (i.e., the reinforcing structure) of a frame structure is disposed around the sub-metal plate 111. The metal plate (including at least one sub-metal plate 111) and the third composite plate 123 together form an intermediate plate, which is sandwiched between the first composite plate (i.e., the second substrate 20) and the second composite plate (i.e., the third substrate 30). Two composite plates are used to completely cover the upper and lower surfaces of the metal plate, effectively improving the overall rigidity of the battery pack cover 100. The composite plates can also effectively isolate the metal plate from the complex external environment and provide corrosion protection. Furthermore, the metal plate can be divided into multiple sub-metal plates fastened to each other via a third composite plate, effectively reducing the overall weight of the battery pack cover 100. During assembly of the battery pack cover 100, a hanging point may be provided on the third composite plate to prevent corrosion or rust of the metal plates due to cutting. Furthermore, by providing the hanging point on the third composite plate to fasten the battery pack cover 100, the metal processing technology required for all layers of the metal plate structure can be omitted, thereby significantly reducing preparation costs.

[0031] According to some embodiments of the present application, the distance between the edge of the secondary metal plate and the outer edge of the third composite material plate is 10 mm to 50 mm, thereby realizing corrosion protection of the edge and ensuring the overall rigidity of the upper cover. The outer edge of the third composite material plate 123 is the edge of the third composite material plate 123 that is away from the secondary metal plate 111. In this way, the edge of the metal plate is sealed and physically isolated from the outside world, while meeting the electrical insulation performance and strength requirements of the battery pack cover 100 and preventing the metal plate from rusting or corroding.

[0032] The battery pack cover 100 of the present application has at least the following advantages.

[0033] 1. In the present application, the strength and rigidity of the battery pack cover 100 are substantially improved by composite formation of a metal plate and a high-strength, high-modulus composite material plate, thereby providing better protection for the cells against the impact of the battery pack cover 100.

[0034] 2. Because the thermal conductivity of the composite plate is lower than that of the metal plate, the battery pack cover 100 of this application has higher thermal resistance and better thermal insulation performance than the battery pack cover 100 made of pure metal, thereby effectively solving the problem of low power consumption of the battery pack at low temperatures.

[0035] 3. The surface of the battery pack cover 100 in this application that comes into contact with the current-carrying components inside the battery pack is a composite material plate, so the electrical insulation properties of the composite material plate can meet the high-voltage safety requirements and prevent the risk of arc discharge caused by small electrical gaps.

[0036] 4. When a battery pack experiences thermal runaway, the protective layer on the metal surface of a conventional metal battery pack cover 100 is burned by the flame and peeled off, exposing the metal. When the battery pack cover 100 of the present application is burned by the flame, the reinforcing fiber of the battery pack cover can provide physical isolation, thereby preventing arc discharge and dielectric breakdown caused by contact between the metal plate and the conductor, and improving the safety of passengers in the vehicle.

[0037] In the description of this application, the orientations or positional relationships indicated by terms such as "width," "thickness," "top," and "bottom" are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are intended merely to facilitate and simplify the description of this application, and are not intended to indicate or suggest that the devices or elements described have a particular orientation or are required to be constructed and operated in a particular orientation. Therefore, such terms should not be understood as limitations on this application.

[0038] In this application, all numerical values ​​disclosed herein are approximate, regardless of whether the word "about" or "approximately" is used. Each numerical value may vary by less than 10%, or by a difference considered reasonable by one of ordinary skill in the art, such as 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, or 5%.

[0039] According to some embodiments of the present application, the functional module may include a battery module. Specifically, the functional module may include at least one of a cell, a battery module, and a battery pack.

[0040] According to some embodiments of the present application, the method for combining and fixing the metal plate and the composite plate in the present application is not particularly limited. For example, a hot pressing process may be used, in which the composite plate flows during the hot pressing to fill the surface of the metal plate, and then the composite plate is fixed to the metal plate after hardening, thereby realizing the composite formation of the metal plate and the composite plate.

[0041] According to some embodiments of the present application, a method for measuring a thickness of a substrate includes measuring the thickness of the substrate using a Vernier scale.

[0042] According to some embodiments of the present application, a method for measuring the yield strength of a substrate includes performing a test in accordance with the GB / T 228 test standard.

[0043] According to some embodiments of the present application, a method for measuring the tensile strength of a substrate may include performing a test in accordance with the GB / T 1447 test standard.

[0044] In another aspect of the present application, the present application proposes a battery pack including a battery, a tray, and the above-mentioned battery pack cover 100, where the battery pack cover 100 and the tray are connected to form a receiving cavity for receiving the battery. Therefore, the battery pack has all the features and advantages of the above-mentioned battery pack cover 100. The details will not be described again here.

[0045] According to some embodiments of the present application, the second substrate 20 may be disposed facing the receiving cavity in the battery pack, so that the excellent thermal and electrical insulating properties of the second substrate 20 can be utilized to improve the structural stability and safety performance of the battery pack.

[0046] In yet another aspect of the present application, the present application provides a vehicle including a vehicle floor, the vehicle floor including the above-described battery pack cover 100. Thus, the vehicle has all the features and advantages of the above-described battery pack cover 100, the details of which will not be described again here.

[0047] See Figure 1. According to some embodiments of the present application, a vehicle may include a body chassis assembly, which includes a body floor, a functional module 200, and a tray 300. The body floor and the tray 300 sandwich the functional module 200, and the body floor and the tray are connected to form a receiving cavity for receiving the functional module.

[0048] According to some embodiments of the present application, the metal plate should cover the functional module as much as possible, for example, the area of ​​the metal plate may match the cross-sectional area of ​​the functional module, which can effectively improve the pedal strength of the vehicle floor.

[0049] According to some embodiments of the present application, silicone foam may be used to fit and compress the surface of the vehicle body floor and the bottom beams of the entire vehicle to achieve a sealing effect.

[0050] According to some embodiments of the present application, the functional module may include a battery module. Specifically, the functional module may include at least one of a cell, a battery module, and a battery pack.

[0051] The solution of the present application will be described below using specific embodiments. Please note that the following embodiments are only used to illustrate the present application and should not be considered as limiting the scope of the present application. If no specific techniques or conditions are specified in the embodiments, they shall be in accordance with the techniques or conditions described in the literature or product instructions in the field. All reagents and equipment used without indicating the manufacturer are conventional products available on the market.

[0052] The structure of the battery pack cover in Examples 1 to 14 and 19 is shown in FIG. 3, where the second substrate covers one side surface of the first substrate. The structure of the battery pack cover in Examples 15 and 16 is shown in FIG. 2, where the first substrate is sandwiched between the second substrate and the third substrate. The structure of the battery pack cover in Example 17 is shown in FIG. 4, where the first substrate is sandwiched between the second substrate and the third substrate, and the first substrate includes two sub-metal plates, and a reinforcing structure is disposed around the sub-metal plates. The structure of the battery pack cover in Example 18 is shown in FIG. 5, where the second substrate is disposed in a partial region of one side surface of the first substrate.

[0053] The structure of the battery pack cover in Comparative Examples 1 and 2 is shown in FIG. 3, in which the second substrate covers one surface of the first substrate.

[0054] Table 1 shows the specific parameters of the substrates of the examples and comparative examples. [Table 1]

[0055] The following performance tests were conducted on the battery pack covers provided in the above examples and comparative examples.

[0056] Deformation: A force of 75 kgf was applied to a 10 mm diameter round rod to press into one side of the battery pack cover, and the depth of deformation was tested using a vernier scale and a spirit level.

[0057] Insulation performance: The time required for the battery pack temperature to drop from 20°C to 0°C in a -10°C environment.

[0058] Electrical insulation and high voltage resistance: In accordance with GB / T 1408.1-2016 - Electrical strength of insulating materials - Test methods - Part 1: Tests at power frequencies, DC 1000V was applied to both main surfaces of the battery pack cover for 60 seconds to test insulation resistance. In accordance with GB / T 1408.1-2016 - Electrical strength of insulating materials - Test methods - Part 1: Tests at power frequencies, AC 3000V was applied to both main surfaces of the battery pack cover for 60 seconds to record breakdown and sparks, and test leakage current.

[0059] High temperature and high voltage resistance: A flame from a butane torch (with a flame temperature of approximately 1000°C) was used to spray perpendicularly onto the battery pack cover, and the side on which the composite plate was located was placed in the outer flame area for 30 minutes, and the AC 1000V dielectric withstand voltage after being exposed to the fire was recorded.

[0060] The test results obtained are recorded in Table 2. [Table 2]

[0061] The test results show that the extrusion resistance, thermal insulation performance, high-voltage resistance, and high-temperature and high-voltage resistance of the battery pack covers in Examples 1 to 19 all meet the specifications. Specifically, when a 10 mm diameter round rod is pressed into one side of the battery pack cover with a force of 75 kgf and the deformation depth is tested using a vernier scale and a level, the battery pack cover deforms by less than 2 mm. For the battery pack covers in Examples 1 to 19, the time required for the battery pack temperature to drop from 20°C to 0°C in a -10°C environment is longer than 15 hours. In accordance with "GB / T 1408.1-2016 - Electrical Strength of Insulating Materials - Test Methods - Part 1: Tests at Power Frequencies," when 1000 V DC is applied to both main surfaces of the battery pack covers in Examples 1 to 19 for 60 seconds, the insulation resistance exceeds 50 GΩ. According to "GB / T 1408.1-2016 - Electrical Strength of Insulating Materials - Test Methods - Part 1: Tests at Power Frequencies," when AC 3000V is applied to the two main surfaces of the battery pack covers in Examples 1 to 19 for 60 seconds, no breakdown or sparks occur, and the leakage current is less than 3mA. When a flame from a butane torch (with a flame temperature of approximately 1000°C) is used to spray perpendicularly onto the battery pack covers in Examples 1 to 19, and the side on which the composite plate is located is placed in the flame in the outer flame area for 30 minutes, the requirement for AC 1000V dielectric withstand voltage after being exposed to the fire is met.

[0062] In Comparative Example 1, the thickness of the first substrate was 0.4 mm, the yield strength of the first substrate was 260 MPa, the thickness of the second substrate was 0.8 mm, the tensile strength of the second substrate was 240 MPa, and c1 of the second substrate was 0.9, where a1·b1+a2·b2·c1 was 276.8, which does not satisfy 290≦a1·b1+a2·b2·c1≦1200. The thickness of the first substrate was too thin, and the extrusion resistance of the battery pack cover was insufficient. A force of 75 kgf was applied to one side of the battery pack cover using a 10 mm diameter round rod, resulting in an extrusion deformation of 2.3 mm. In Comparative Example 2, the thickness of the first substrate was 1.6 mm, the yield strength of the first substrate was 780 MPa, the thickness of the second substrate was 0.8 mm, the tensile strength of the second substrate was 550 MPa, and c1 of the second substrate was 0.6, where a1·b1+a2·b2·c1 was 1512, which does not satisfy the relationship 290≦a1·b1+a2·b2·c1≦1200. The test results showed that when AC 3000V was applied to both sides of the battery pack cover for 60 seconds, dielectric breakdown and sparks occurred, and the leakage current was 3.4 mA, which did not meet the dielectric withstand voltage performance requirements.
