一种基于热管冷却的圆柱形锂电池单体及电池组A cylindrical lithium battery cell and battery pack based on heat pipe cooling

技术领域technical field

本实用新型属于电池技术领域，具体涉及一种基于热管冷却的圆柱形锂电池单体及电池组。The utility model belongs to the technical field of batteries, in particular to a cylindrical lithium battery cell and a battery pack based on heat pipe cooling.

背景技术Background technique

锂离子动力电池因为具有能量密度高、循环寿命长以及环境友好等优势，已经成为新能源汽车动力装置以及大规模储能系统的主要选择。但是，锂离子电池作为一种电化学电源，在其充放电的过程中由于自身产热引起的温度过高以及误用工况引发的热失控，都会造成严重的安全隐患，而这也正是目前锂离子电池在大规模应用过程中所面临的主要问题。Lithium-ion power batteries have become the main choice for new energy vehicle power devices and large-scale energy storage systems because of their high energy density, long cycle life, and environmental friendliness. However, as an electrochemical power source, the lithium-ion battery will cause serious safety hazards due to excessive temperature caused by its own heat generation and thermal runaway caused by misuse during the charging and discharging process. At present, the main problems faced by lithium-ion batteries in the large-scale application process.

目前，在电池的使用运行过程中，电池内部产生的热量通常需要逐渐扩散传递至电池外部后，再借助外部冷却方式，例如风冷或水冷，将堆积在电池壳体表面的热量带走，从而达到对电池的降温目的，将电池的温度控制在最佳运行温度范围内。At present, during the use and operation of the battery, the heat generated inside the battery usually needs to be gradually diffused and transferred to the outside of the battery, and then the heat accumulated on the surface of the battery case is taken away by means of external cooling methods, such as air cooling or water cooling. To achieve the purpose of cooling the battery, the temperature of the battery is controlled within the optimal operating temperature range.

然而，由于圆柱形锂离子电池的内部为层状结构，各层之间的接触热阻以及电极功能层自身较差的导热性能，使得该电池内部整体热阻较大，自主散热性能差。这样，在圆柱形锂电池的实际使用运行过程中，采用常规的外部冷却方式进行降温处理时，虽然电池外表面可以获得及时有效的散热降温，但电池内部产生的热量却由于无法快速散出而出现持续堆积形成内部高温，在这种内外较大温差状态下的长期运行过程中就会导致电池容量衰减速率加快，使电池整体寿命缩短。However, due to the layered structure inside the cylindrical lithium-ion battery, the contact thermal resistance between the layers and the poor thermal conductivity of the electrode functional layer itself make the overall internal thermal resistance of the battery large and the self-heating performance is poor. In this way, in the actual use and operation of the cylindrical lithium battery, when the conventional external cooling method is used for cooling treatment, although the outer surface of the battery can be cooled in a timely and effective manner, the heat generated inside the battery cannot be quickly dissipated. The internal high temperature caused by continuous accumulation will lead to a faster battery capacity decay rate during the long-term operation under this large temperature difference between the inside and outside, and the overall battery life will be shortened.

具体实施方式Detailed ways

下面结合附图和实施例对本实用新型的技术方案进行详细介绍。The technical solutions of the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

结合图1至图3所示，本实施例中基于热管冷却的圆柱形锂电池单体1，包括壳体11、电极材料层12和热管13。壳体11位圆柱形桶状结构，用于安装和固定电极材料层12。电极材料层12为片层形状并且缠绕在空心卷轴121上，电极材料层12和空心卷轴121同时固定在壳体11内部。热管13的蒸发段131位于空心卷轴121内并且与电极材料层12保持直接接触，热管13的冷凝段132则穿过正极端盖14后伸出至壳体11的外部。With reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 , the cylindrical lithium battery cell 1 based on heat pipe cooling in this embodiment includes acasing 11 , anelectrode material layer 12 and aheat pipe 13 . Thecasing 11 has a cylindrical barrel structure for installing and fixing theelectrode material layer 12 . Theelectrode material layer 12 has a sheet shape and is wound on thehollow reel 121 , and theelectrode material layer 12 and thehollow reel 121 are simultaneously fixed inside thecase 11 . Theevaporation section 131 of theheat pipe 13 is located in thehollow scroll 121 and is in direct contact with theelectrode material layer 12 , and thecondensation section 132 of theheat pipe 13 passes through thepositive end cap 14 and protrudes to the outside of thecasing 11 .

在本实施例中，通过借助圆柱形锂离子电池单体内部自身已有的空心卷轴进行热管安装，并且将热管的蒸发段伸入至空心卷轴内部，将热管的冷凝段伸出至壳体的外部，就可以利用热管将圆柱形锂离子电池单体运行过程中积聚于电极材料层内部的热量直接快速的引出至位于锂离子电池单体外部，进而借助冷凝段进行热量释放冷却，达到对圆柱形锂离子电池单体内部的直接降温效果。与现有电池的常规散热技术相比较，本实施例中的圆柱形锂离子电池单体就可以直接借助热管将其内部热量进行引出释放，从而避免了电池单体内部热量堆积导致电池单体内部长时间处于高温状态而使电池容量衰减速率加快，使电池整体寿命缩短的问题。In this embodiment, the heat pipe is installed by using the existing hollow reel inside the cylindrical lithium-ion battery cell, and the evaporating section of the heat pipe is extended into the hollow reel, and the condensation section of the heat pipe is extended to the outer surface of the casing. Externally, the heat accumulated in the electrode material layer during the operation of the cylindrical lithium-ion battery cell can be directly and quickly drawn out by the heat pipe to the outside of the lithium-ion battery cell, and then the heat is released and cooled with the help of the condensation section, so as to achieve the cooling effect of the cylindrical lithium-ion battery. The direct cooling effect inside the lithium-ion battery cell. Compared with the conventional heat dissipation technology of the existing battery, the cylindrical lithium-ion battery cell in this embodiment can directly extract and release its internal heat by means of a heat pipe, thereby avoiding the heat accumulation inside the battery cell and causing the internal heat of the battery cell to be released. The problem of shortening the overall life of the battery due to the fact that the battery capacity decay rate is accelerated when the battery is in a high temperature state for a long time.

结合图3所示，在本实施例中热管13的蒸发段131与空心卷轴121之间填充有导热硅脂21，用于空心卷轴121与热管13之间的导热接触。这样，不仅可以借助导热硅脂的高导热性直接提高热管与电极材料层之间的热交换效率，而且还可以利用导热硅脂的脂膏态实现热管与空心卷轴之间的间隙填充，增加热管与空心卷轴之间的接触面积，进一步提高热管与电极材料层之间的热交换效率，加快对电池单体内部热量的引出速度。Referring to FIG. 3 , in this embodiment,thermal grease 21 is filled between theevaporation section 131 of theheat pipe 13 and thehollow reel 121 for thermally conductive contact between thehollow reel 121 and theheat pipe 13 . In this way, not only can the heat exchange efficiency between the heat pipe and the electrode material layer be directly improved by the high thermal conductivity of the thermal grease, but also the gap between the heat pipe and the hollow reel can be filled by using the grease state of the thermal grease to increase the heat pipe and the hollow reel. The contact area between the hollow reels further improves the heat exchange efficiency between the heat pipe and the electrode material layer, and accelerates the extraction speed of the internal heat of the battery cell.

在本实施例中，选用高压低温制冷剂作为热管内部的工质，可以提高热管对热量的吸收和释放效率，提高整个热管对电池单体内部热量的引出速度。In this embodiment, high-pressure and low-temperature refrigerant is selected as the working medium inside the heat pipe, which can improve the heat absorption and release efficiency of the heat pipe, and improve the extraction speed of the entire heat pipe to the internal heat of the battery cell.

优选的，结合图3所示，在本实施例中热管13的蒸发段131与空心卷轴121之间还设有泡沫金属骨架22，形成电极材料层12与热管13之间的支撑导热。Preferably, as shown in FIG. 3 , in this embodiment, afoam metal skeleton 22 is further provided between theevaporation section 131 of theheat pipe 13 and thehollow reel 121 to form a support heat conduction between theelectrode material layer 12 and theheat pipe 13 .

这样，不仅可以借助导热性能更好、结构形状更稳定的泡沫金属骨架提高电极材料层与热管之间的热交换效率，以及增强热管在空心卷轴内位置的支撑牢固性，从而提高电池单体工作过程中热管位置的稳定性，保证热管可以持续稳定运行，而且还可以同时借助泡沫金属骨架上的孔隙作为导热硅脂的固定载体，避免导热硅脂长时间在自身重力和高温共同作用下发生流动偏移问题，而在热管与电极材料层之间出现局部间隙，导致热管与电极材料层之间出现分布不均匀的热量交换，从而稳定导热硅脂在空心卷轴内的位置，保证导热硅脂进行热量传递的均匀稳定性，提高电池单体温度分布的均匀性。In this way, not only can the heat exchange efficiency between the electrode material layer and the heat pipe be improved by means of the foam metal skeleton with better thermal conductivity and more stable structure and shape, but also the support firmness of the heat pipe in the hollow reel can be enhanced, thereby improving the working of the battery cell. The stability of the position of the heat pipe during the process ensures the continuous and stable operation of the heat pipe, and at the same time, the pores on the foam metal skeleton can be used as a fixed carrier for the thermal conductive silicone grease to prevent the thermal conductive silicone grease from flowing for a long time under the combined action of its own gravity and high temperature. offset problem, and there is a local gap between the heat pipe and the electrode material layer, resulting in uneven heat exchange between the heat pipe and the electrode material layer, thereby stabilizing the position of the thermally conductive silicone grease in the hollow reel and ensuring the thermal conductivity of the thermally conductive silicone grease. The uniform and stable heat transfer improves the uniformity of the temperature distribution of the battery cells.

与此同时，结合图1和图3所示，当位于空心卷轴121内部的热管13发生破裂而导致内部高压低温制冷剂外泄而瞬间形成高压气体并进入空心卷轴121内时，就可以利用泡沫金属骨架22上的孔隙形成气体排放通道，将位于空心卷轴121内的高压气体快速排出至电极材料层12外部，进而通过安全阀15排出至电池单体1的外部。这样，就可以有效避免热管发生破裂而外泄的高压气体对电池单体造成冲击震动和破坏，提高使用高压低温制冷剂作为热管内部工质并将热管伸入至电池单体内部使用时的安全可靠性。At the same time, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 , when theheat pipe 13 located inside thehollow reel 121 is ruptured, causing the internal high-pressure and low-temperature refrigerant to leak out and instantly form high-pressure gas and enter thehollow reel 121, foam can be used. The pores on themetal skeleton 22 form gas discharge channels, and the high-pressure gas in thehollow scroll 121 is quickly discharged to the outside of theelectrode material layer 12 , and then discharged to the outside of the battery cell 1 through thesafety valve 15 . In this way, the high-pressure gas leaked from the rupture of the heat pipe can effectively avoid shock vibration and damage to the battery cell, and improve the safety of using high-pressure and low-temperature refrigerant as the internal working medium of the heat pipe and extending the heat pipe into the battery cell. reliability.

结合图2所示，在本实施例热管13的冷凝段132处还设有多个相互平行间隔布置的翅片133。这样，利用表面积更大的翅片就可以增加热管冷凝段与外界环境的接触面积，从而提高热管与外界环境之间的热交换效率。Referring to FIG. 2 , a plurality offins 133 arranged in parallel and spaced apart are further provided at thecondensation section 132 of theheat pipe 13 in this embodiment. In this way, the use of fins with a larger surface area can increase the contact area between the condensation section of the heat pipe and the external environment, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between the heat pipe and the external environment.

此外，在本实施例中，热管的外表面还设有绝缘导热涂层，以避免热管与正极端盖或电极材料层之间出现意外接触而发生导电危险，从而保证热管以及整个电池单体的正常运行工作，提高电池单体使用的安全可靠性。In addition, in this embodiment, the outer surface of the heat pipe is also provided with an insulating and thermally conductive coating to avoid accidental contact between the heat pipe and the positive terminal cover or the electrode material layer, which may cause electrical conduction hazards, thereby ensuring the heat pipe and the entire battery cell. Normal operation and work, improve the safety and reliability of the use of battery cells.

结合图1所示，在热管13与正极端盖14之间还设有一个紧固件16，用于热管13穿过正极端盖14时的连接固定，固定热管13的位置。同时，在本实施例中，由于热管13从正极端盖14的中心位置伸出，从而将正极极耳17进行了偏置固定，以保证整个电池单体的正常使用，同样，在其他实施例中，根据需要也可以将正极极耳设置在其他位置，以便于方便连接使用。With reference to FIG. 1 , afastener 16 is further provided between theheat pipe 13 and thepositive end cover 14 for connecting and fixing theheat pipe 13 when passing through thepositive end cover 14 , and fixing the position of theheat pipe 13 . At the same time, in this embodiment, since theheat pipe 13 protrudes from the center of the positiveterminal cover 14, thepositive tab 17 is biased and fixed to ensure the normal use of the entire battery cell. Similarly, in other embodiments , the positive tabs can also be set in other positions according to needs, so as to facilitate connection and use.
