Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing the utility model embodiment is further described.
As shown in Figure 1, the battery pack that a kind of execution mode of the utility model provides comprises a plurality of cells 1, described cell 1 has electrode terminal 2, connect by electrode terminal 2 serial or parallel connections between described a plurality of cell 1, the electrode terminal 2 of adjacent two cells 1 welds together by solder 3, wherein, be provided with short disconnected parts 4 between two electrode terminals 2 of at least one pair of adjacent cell 1, should be used for after described solder 3 melted by heat, impelling described solder 3 to overcome its surface tension and dripping by short disconnected parts 4, thereby circuit is disconnected.
Described short disconnected parts 4 can be various structures, as long as can be after solder 3 melted by heat, impel solder 3 to overcome its surface tension and drip and get final product.
As shown in Figure 1, according to a kind of execution mode of the present utility model, described short disconnected parts 4 are a weight, and this weight is by solder 3 and described two electrode terminals, 2 welding.
There is no particular limitation to the shape of weight, and weight can be square, cuboid or taper type as described, and weight is easier to be overcome the surface tension of liquid solder and drop in order to make, thereby circuit is disconnected, preferably, described weight is a taper type, and the big placed face down of weight.
There is no particular limitation to the material of weight, as long as can satisfy the soldering condition, weight can be preferably metal derby for metal derby or ceramic block as described.Metal derby is easier to be overcome the surface tension of liquid solder and drops in order to make, and preferably, described metal derby is the bigger metal derby of density, and metal derby can be copper billet, bloom, aluminium block or iron block as described.
As shown in Figure 2, according to another execution mode of the present utility model, described short disconnected parts 4 are an expanded by heating thing, and this expanded by heating thing contacts with two electrode terminals 2 of described adjacent cell 1.
Described expanded by heating thing need have certain rigidity and expanded by heating preferably, and is made by high temperature resistant, electrically non-conductive material, and the expanded by heating thing can be made by ceramic material or mica as described, and described ceramic material can be Al
2O
3, ZrO
2Or BeO.There is no particular limitation to the shape of described expanded by heating thing, and the expanded by heating thing can be spherical, column or bulk as described.
Described expanded by heating thing can be fixed by variety of way, as with as described in the expanded by heating thing be arranged in the solder 3, fix by the bed knife between described electrode terminal 2 and the solder 3.The location preferably, is respectively arranged with detent 5 on the medial surface of described two electrode terminals 2 for convenience, and described expanded by heating thing is installed in the detent 5.
Described expanded by heating thing can be arranged on two optional positions between the electrode terminal 2, that is to say, promptly can be arranged on the welding position, also can be arranged on non-welding position.In order to prevent the circulation of expanded by heating thing blocking-up solder 3, guarantee can flow down swimmingly after solder 3 melted by heat, preferably, the top of described expanded by heating thing is not provided with solder 3.In Fig. 2 and execution mode shown in Figure 3, solder 3 all is not set in the above and below of expanded by heating thing.
Described expanded by heating thing can be one, also can be for a plurality of, and Fig. 2 has represented the example of an expanded by heating thing, Fig. 3 has then represented the example of two expanded by heating things.In Fig. 3, one of them expanded by heating thing is arranged on the welding position, and another expanded by heating thing then is arranged on non-welding position.
In order to guarantee that solder 3 can drip after fusing, described solder 3 has certain thickness, and this thickness can be 0.3~1 millimeter, is preferably 0.5~0.8 millimeter.
Solder 3 is not had special requirement, and its fusing point can be 100~450 ℃.Described solder can be preferably tin-based solder, because the fusing point of tin is 231.9 ℃ for bismuthino solder, zinc-based solder, tin-based solder etc., when abnormal conditions such as battery pack is short-circuited, overcharges, be easy to reach the fusing point of tin, thereby circuit is disconnected, in addition, the cost of tin-based solder is lower.
Can adopt various method for welding well known in the art to carry out soldering, as high frequency brazing, iron soldering, resistance brazing etc.
The short disconnected parts 4 that provide at the utility model are under the situation of a weight; when abnormal conditions such as battery pack is short-circuited, overcharges; electric current increases suddenly, and the temperature of solder 3 rises rapidly, reaches the fusing point of solder 3; solder 3 fusings; solder 3 overcomes surface tension under the action of gravity of weight, and drips under the self gravitation effect, and weight drops simultaneously; circuit is disconnected, reached the purpose of overtemperature protection.
The short disconnected parts 4 that provide at the utility model are under the situation of an expanded by heating thing; when abnormal conditions such as battery pack is short-circuited, overcharges, electric current increases suddenly, and the temperature of solder 3 rises rapidly; reach the fusing point of solder 3; solder 3 fusings, simultaneously, expanded by heating thing expanded by heating; increased the gap between two electrode terminals; thereby help solder 3 to overcome its surface tension and under the self gravitation effect, drip, reach the purpose of cutout, play the function of overtemperature protection.
In sum, owing to be provided with short disconnected parts between the electrode terminal of at least one pair of adjacent cell of the battery pack that the utility model provides, the parts that should shortly break can impel described solder to overcome its surface tension after described solder melted by heat and drip, so, when battery pack is short-circuited, when abnormal conditions such as overcharging, solder melted by heat between the electrode terminal, short then disconnected parts impel described solder to overcome its surface tension and drip, thereby circuit is disconnected, avoided the further diffusion of heat, stop the rising of battery and conductor temperature, avoided the generation of damage to person, prolonged the useful life of battery self simultaneously.
