技术领域
本申请涉及电池技术领域，特别是涉及一种电池、用电设备、制备电池的方法和设备。
背景技术
节能减排是汽车产业可持续发展的关键。在这种情况下，电动车辆由于其节能环保的优势成为汽车产业可持续发展的重要组成部分。而对于电动车辆而言，电池技术又是关乎其发展的一项重要因素。
在电池技术的发展中，除了提高电池的性能外，安全问题也是一个不可忽视的问题。如果电池的安全问题不能保证，那该电池就无法使用。因此，如何增强电池的安全性，是电池技术中一个亟待解决的技术问题。
发明内容
本申请提供了一种电池、用电设备、制造电池的方法和设备，能够增强电池的强度，进而提高电池的安全性。
第一方面，提供了一种电池，包括：箱体；至少一个第一电池单体和至少一个第二电池单体，容纳于所述箱体中，所述第一电池单体和所述第二电池单体为形状不同的多面体结构，其中，所述第一电池单体包括相互连接的第一壁和第二壁，所述第一壁垂直于第一方向，所述第一方向垂直于所述箱体的上盖或底壁，所述第二壁相对于所述第一方向倾斜，所述第二壁用于与和所述第一电池单体相邻的第一附接壁附接，以在所述第二壁与所述第一附接壁之间形成在所述第一方向上的相互作用力；所述第二电池单体包括相互连接的第三壁和第四壁，所述第三壁垂直于所述第一方向，所述第四壁相对于所述第一方向倾斜，所述第四壁用于与和所述第二电池单体相邻的第二附接壁附接，以在所述第四壁与所述第二附接壁之间形成在所述第一方向上的相互作用力。
因此，本申请实施例的电池，在使用过程中，可能由于振动冲击产生重力方向上的作用力，也就产生了第一方向上的作用力，或者电池单体在充电和放电过程中可能发生膨胀变形，进而产生第一方向上的作用力。那么，第一电池单体可以通过第二壁和第一附接壁承接部分第一方向上的作用力，以减少该作用力对第一电池单体的影响，例如可以减少第一电池单体的变形量，尤其是减少了第一方向上的变形量。类似的，第二电池单体可以通过第四壁和第二附接壁承接部分第一方向上的作用力，以减少该作用力对第二电池单体的影响，例如可以减少第二电池单体的变形量，尤其是减少了第一方向上的变形量。并且，减少内部电池单体的变形量可以提高整个电池的刚度和强度，避免电池在使用过程中由于振动冲击等原因造成的安全风险。另外，电池内部同时设置形状不同的多个电池单体，该多个电池单体之间相互配合，可以提高电池的箱体内部的空间利用率，进而提高电池的能量密度。
在一些实施例中，所述第一电池单体和所述第二电池单体为六面体结构。六面体结构比较稳定，也便于加工、组装和排列，能够提高电池的能量密度和组装效率。
在一些实施例中，所述第一电池单体沿第一平面的截面为平行四边形或梯形，所述第一平面垂直于所述第一壁和所述第二壁；所述第二电池单体沿所述第一平面的截面为平行四边形或梯形。
考虑到箱体通常为长方体，将六面体结构的电池单体设置为较为规则的六面体，有利于排列组合，从而能够提高电池的组装效率。
在一些实施例中，所述电池包括沿所述第一方向排列的至少两个电池单体组，所述至少两个电池单体组包括所述第一电池单体和所述第二电池单体，所述至少两个电池单体组中的每个电池单体组包括沿第二方向排列的多个电池单体，所述第一方向垂直于所述第二方向。
电池中设置有多个形状不同的电池单体，为了便于组装，通常将多个电池单体按照一定规律排列后设置于电池的箱体内，例如，可以按照阵列的方式排列电池单体，以提高组装效率。
在一些实施例中，所述第一方向和所述第二方向平行于所述第一平面，以使得六面体的电池单体更为规则，排列更加方便。
在一些实施例中，所述电池单体组包括沿所述第二方向排列的多个所述第一电池单体和/或所述第二电池单体。
对于任意一个电池单体组，该电池单体组中可以包括形状相同或者不同的电池单体，以灵活排列不同形状的电池单体组，尽可能提高电池的能量密度。
在一些实施例中，所述至少两个电池单体组之间设置有垂直于所述第一方向的隔离部件，以隔离不同电池单体组。
在一些实施例中，所述隔离部件为下列结构中的至少一种：横梁、热管理部件和结构胶。
该隔离部件可以包括横梁，该横梁可以支撑多个电池单体，以增加箱体的强度，提高电池的强度和稳定性。
可选地，本申请实施例中的隔离部件还可以包括热管理部件，即该隔离部件可 以容纳流体以给多个电池单体调节温度。
可选地，本申请实施例中的隔离部件还可以包括结构胶，以使得与该隔离部件直接接触的多个电池单体能够与隔离部件相对固定，尤其是多个电池单体的面积最大的壁设置于结构胶的表面时，能够极大的增加电池单体的稳定性，进而提高了电池的强度和稳定性。
在一些实施例中，所述第一电池单体的面积最大的壁垂直于所述第一方向，所述第二电池单体的面积最大的壁垂直于所述第一方向。将第一电池单体和第二电池单体的面积最大的壁设置为垂直于第一方向，更加有利于散热，进而减少第一电池单体和第二电池单体的沿第一方向上的膨胀力，提高电池的稳定性和安全性。
在一些实施例中，所述每个电池单体组中包括与所述箱体的侧壁直接接触的多个电池单体。
由于第一电池单体的第二壁和第二电池单体的第四壁相对于第一方向倾斜，进而能够承接电池单体之间的至少部分沿第一方向的作用力，因此，可以不在多个电池单体的两端设置与箱体的侧壁垂直的端板，使得每个电池单体组中位于最边缘的电池单体可以直接与箱体的侧壁接触，节省箱体内部空间。
在一些实施例中，所述第一电池单体的面积最小的壁平行于所述第一平面，所述第二电池单体的面积最小的壁平行于所述第一平面。
将其内部的电池单体的面积最小的壁设置为平行于第一平面，有利于节省空间，避免在垂直于第一平面的方向上，电池单体与箱体之间的空隙过大。
在一些实施例中，所述第一电池单体的面积最小的壁上设置有第一电极端子，所述第二电池单体的面积最小的壁上设置有第二电极端子。电池单体面积最小的壁的膨胀量较小，电极端子设置于面积最小的壁上，不会因为电池单体的膨胀变形影响电极端子的性能。
在一些实施例中，所述第一电池单体设置有位于不同壁上的两个第一电极端子；所述第二电池单体设置有位于不同壁上的两个第二电极端子。
在一些实施例中，将两个第一电极端子设置于第一电池单体的相对的两个壁上，将两个第二电极端子设备于第二电池单体的相对的两个壁上，以使得相邻两个电池单体可以通过电极端子的附接实现电连接，而无需汇流部件，节省汇流部件的安装空间，进一步提高电池的能量密度。
在一些实施例中，所述第二壁相对于所述第一方向倾斜的角度的取值范围为(0°,45°]，所述第四壁相对于所述第一方向倾斜的角度的取值范围为(0°,45°]。若上述倾斜角度设置过大，则可能加大电池单体内部电极组件的尺寸的设计难度，还会影响电池单体的内部空间利用率，在将电池单体组装为电池时，还会影响电池单体之间的排列方式，增加了电池单体与箱体之间的空间，降低了电池的空间利用率，也就降低了电池的能量密度。
第二方面，提供了一种用电设备，包括：第一方面中的电池，用于为用电设备提供电能。
在一些实施例中，所述用电设备为车辆、船舶或航天器。
第三方面，提供了一种制造电池的方法，包括：提供箱体；提供至少一个第一电池单体和至少一个第二电池单体，所述第一电池单体和所述第二电池单体容纳于所述箱体中，所述第一电池单体和所述第二电池单体为形状不同的多面体结构，其中，所述第一电池单体包括相互连接的第一壁和第二壁，所述第一壁垂直于第一方向，所述第一方向垂直于所述箱体的上盖或者底壁，所述第二壁相对于所述第一方向倾斜，所述第二壁用于与和所述第一电池单体相邻的第一附接壁附接，以在所述第二壁与所述第一附接壁之间形成在所述第一方向上的相互作用力；所述第二电池单体包括相互连接的第三壁和第四壁，所述第三壁垂直于所述第一方向，所述第四壁相对于所述第一方向倾斜，所述第四壁用于与和所述第二电池单体相邻的第二附接壁附接，以在所述第四壁与所述第二附接壁之间形成在所述第一方向上的相互作用力。
第四方面，提供了一种制造电池的设备，包括执行上述第三方面的方法的模块。

在本申请的实施例中，相同的附图标记表示相同的部件，并且为了简洁，在不同实施例中，省略对相同部件的详细说明。应理解，附图示出的本申请实施例中的各种部件的厚度、长宽等尺寸，以及集成装置的整体厚度、长宽等尺寸仅为示例性说明，而不应对本申请构成任何限定。
本申请中，电池单体可以包括锂离子二次电池、锂离子一次电池、锂硫电池、钠锂离子电池、钠离子电池或镁离子电池等，本申请实施例对此并不限定。电池单体可呈圆柱体、扁平体、长方体或其它形状等，本申请实施例对此也不限定。电池单体一般按封装的方式分成三种：柱形电池单体、方形电池单体和软包电池单体，本申请实施例对此也不限定。
本申请的实施例所提到的电池是指包括一个或多个电池单体以提供更高的电压和容量的单一的物理模块。例如，本申请中所提到的电池可以包括电池模块或电池包等。电池一般包括用于封装一个或多个电池单体的箱体。箱体可以避免液体或其他异物影响电池单体的充电或放电。
电池单体包括电极组件和电解液，电极组件由正极极片、负极极片和隔离膜组成。电池单体主要依靠金属离子在正极极片和负极极片之间移动来工作。正极极片包括正极集流体和正极活性物质层，正极活性物质层涂覆于正极集流体的表面，未涂敷正极活性物质层的正极集流体凸出于已涂覆正极活性物质层的正极集流体，未涂敷正极活性物质层的正极集流体作为正极极耳。以锂离子电池为例，正极集流体的材料可以为铝，正极活性物质可以为钴酸锂、磷酸铁锂、三元锂或锰酸锂等。负极极片包括负极集流体和负极活性物质层，负极活性物质层涂覆于负极集流体的表面，未涂敷负极活性物质层的负极集流体凸出于已涂覆负极活性物质层的负极集流体，未涂敷负极活性物质层的负极集流体作为负极极耳。负极集流体的材料可以为铜，负极活性物质可以为碳或硅等。为了保证通过大电流而不发生熔断，正极极耳的数量为多个且层叠在一起，负极极耳的数量为多个且层叠在一起。隔离膜的材质可以为聚丙烯(polypropylene，PP)或聚乙烯(polyethylene，PE)等。此外，电极组件可以是卷绕式结构，也可以是叠片式结构，本申请实施例并不限于此。
电池技术的发展要同时考虑多方面的设计因素，例如，能量密度、循环寿命、放电容量、充放电倍率等性能参数，另外，还需要考虑电池的安全性。
对于电池来说，主要的安全危险来自于充电和放电过程，例如，充电和放电过程中电池单体内部的电极组件会产生热量以及发生膨胀，进而导致电池单体发热以及 膨胀变形。以电池单体内部的电极组件为圆柱体为例，对应地，电池单体的外壳也设置为圆柱体，而圆柱体的电池单体在组装时，由于电池的箱体通常为长方体，这会导致电池单体之间以及电池单体与箱体之间空隙较多，即该电池的空间利用率较低，能量密度较低。并且，圆柱体的电池单体的极柱通常设置在圆柱体的两个底面，在底面空间有限、考虑底面端盖强度的情况下，会考虑将该电池单体的泄压机构设置在圆柱体的侧面壳体上，而该侧面是弧形，不易进行泄压机构设计。
或者，电池单体内的电极组件还可以近似为长方体，对应的，电池单体的外部壳体也设置为长方体。在将多个电池单体组装在电池内部时，通常将多个电池单体的面积最大的面相互抵接排列。并且，考虑到多个电池单体在充电和放电过程中，每个电池单体的面积最大的壁的膨胀变形量较大，因此，还可以在一列电池单体的两侧设置与电池单体的面积最大的壁抵压的端板，以束缚多个电池单体，防止多个电池单体发生变形。但电池单体的面积最大的壁相互抵接排列，会导致电池单体散热能力减弱，尤其在其中一个电池单体发生热失控时，热量会通过面积最大的壁传导至相邻的电池单体，造成更多的电池单体发生热失控，安全性能降低。
再或者，对于长方体的电池单体，如果不将多个电池单体的面积最大的壁相互抵接，例如，可以将多个电池单体的面积最小的壁相互抵接，这样虽然有利于电池单体的散热，但是电池单体面积最大的壁没有端板的束缚，在电池单体的充放电过程时，其电极组件会膨胀形变，进而可能导致界面变差而发生析锂现象，从而影响电池的性能。
因此，本申请实施例提供了一种电池，在电池箱体内设置有至少一个第一电池单体和至少一个第二电池单体，第一电池单体和第二电池单体为形状不同的多面体结构；并且，对于第一电池单体包括的相互连接的第一壁和第二壁，以及第二电池单体包括的相互连接的第三壁和第四壁，第一壁和第三壁均垂直于第一方向，该第一方向垂直于箱体的上盖或者底壁，而第二壁和第四壁均相对于第一方向倾斜，并且，该第二壁附接于和第一电池单体相邻的电池单体的第一附接壁，以使第二壁和第一附接壁之间形成第一方向上的作用力，类似的，第四壁附接于和第二电池单体相邻的电池单体的第二附接壁，以使第四壁和第二附接壁之间形成第一方向上的作用力。
这样，第一电池单体可以通过第二壁和第一附接壁承接部分第一方向上的作用力，以减少该作用力对第一电池单体的影响，例如可以减少第一电池单体的变形量，尤其是减少了第一方向上的变形量。类似的，第二电池单体可以通过第四壁和第二附接壁承接部分第一方向上的作用力，以减少该作用力对第二电池单体的影响，例如可以减少第二电池单体的变形量，尤其是减少了第一方向上的变形量。并且，减少内部电池单体的变形量可以提高整个电池的刚度和强度，避免电池在使用过程中由于振动冲击等原因造成的安全风险。并且，电池内部同时设置形状不同的多个电池单体，该多个电池单体之间相互配合，可以提高电池的箱体内部的空间利用率，进而提高电池的能量密度。
本申请实施例描述的技术方案均适用于各种使用电池的用电设备。
用电设备可以是车辆、手机、便携式设备、笔记本电脑、轮船、航天器、电动 玩具和电动工具等等。车辆可以是燃油汽车、燃气汽车或新能源汽车，新能源汽车可以是纯电动汽车、混合动力汽车或增程式汽车等；航天器包括飞机、火箭、航天飞机和宇宙飞船等等；电动玩具包括固定式或移动式的电动玩具，例如，游戏机、电动汽车玩具、电动轮船玩具和电动飞机玩具等等；电动工具包括金属切削电动工具、研磨电动工具、装配电动工具和铁道用电动工具，例如，电钻、电动砂轮机、电动扳手、电动螺丝刀、电锤、冲击电钻、混凝土振动器和电刨等等。本申请实施例对上述用电设备不做特殊限制。
以下实施例为了方便说明，以用电设备为车辆为例进行说明。
例如，如图1所示，为本申请一个实施例的一种车辆1的结构示意图，车辆1可以为燃油汽车、燃气汽车或新能源汽车，新能源汽车可以是纯电动汽车、混合动力汽车或增程式汽车等。车辆1的内部可以设置马达40，控制器30以及电池10，控制器30用来控制电池10为马达40的供电。例如，在车辆1的底部或车头或车尾可以设置电池10。电池10可以用于车辆1的供电，例如，电池10可以作为车辆1的操作电源，用于车辆1的电路系统，例如，用于车辆1的启动、导航和运行时的工作用电需求。在本申请的另一实施例中，电池10不仅仅可以作为车辆1的操作电源，还可以作为车辆1的驱动电源，替代或部分地替代燃油或天然气为车辆1提供驱动动力。
为了满足不同的使用电力需求，电池可以包括多个电池单体，其中，多个电池单体之间可以串联或并联或混联，混联是指串联和并联的混合。电池也可以称为电池包。可选地，多个电池单体可以先串联或并联或混联组成电池模块，多个电池模块再串联或并联或混联组成电池。也就是说，多个电池单体可以直接组成电池，也可以先组成电池模块，电池模块再组成电池。
例如，图2示出了本申请一个实施例的一种电池10的结构示意图，电池10可以包括多个电池单体20，多个电池单体20呈阵列排列。电池10还可以包括箱体11，箱体11内部为中空结构，多个电池单体20容纳于箱体11内。图2示出了本申请实施例的箱体11的一种可能的实现方式，如图2所示，箱体11可以包括两部分，这里分别称为第一部分111和第二部分112，第一部分111和第二部分112扣合在一起。第一部分111和第二部分112的形状可以根据电池单体20组合的形状而定，第一部分111和第二部分112中至少一个具有一个开口。例如，如图2所示，该第一部分111和第二部分112均可以为中空长方体且各自只有一个面为开口面，第一部分111的开口和第二部分112的开口相对设置，并且第一部分111和第二部分112相互扣合形成具有封闭腔室的箱体11。
再例如，不同于图2所示，第一部分111和第二部分112中可以仅有一个为具有开口的中空长方体，而另一个为板状，以盖合开口。例如，这里以第二部分112为中空长方体且只有一个面为开口面，第一部分111为板状为例，那么第一部分111盖合在第二部分112的开口处以形成具有封闭腔室的箱体11，该腔室可以用于容纳多个电池单体20。多个电池单体20相互并联或串联或混联组合后置于第一部分111和第二部分112扣合后形成的箱体11内。
可选地，电池10还可以包括其他结构，在此不再一一赘述。例如，该电池10 还可以包括汇流部件，汇流部件用于实现多个电池单体20之间的电连接，例如并联或串联或混联。具体地，汇流部件可通过连接电池单体20的电极端子实现电池单体20之间的电连接。进一步地，汇流部件可通过焊接固定于电池单体20的电极端子。多个电池单体20的电能可进一步通过导电机构穿过箱体11而引出。
根据不同的电力需求，电池10中的电池单体20的数量可以设置为任意数值。多个电池单体20可通过串联、并联或混联的方式连接以实现较大的容量或功率。由于每个电池10中包括的电池单体20的数量可能较多，为了便于安装，还可以将电池单体20分组设置，每组电池单体20组成电池模块。电池模块中包括的电池单体20的数量不限，可以根据需求设置。电池可以包括多个电池模块，这些电池模块可通过串联、并联或混联的方式进行连接。
图3示出了本申请实施例的一种电池10的局部示意图。如图3所示，本申请实施例的电池10可以包括箱体11、至少一个第一电池单体21和至少一个第二电池单体22。具体地，至少一个第一电池单体21和至少一个第二电池单体22容纳于箱体11中，第一电池单体21和第二电池单体22为形状不同的多面体结构；第一电池单体21包括相互连接的第一壁211和第二壁212，第一壁211垂直于第一方向，第一方向垂直于箱体11的上盖或底壁，第二壁212相对于第一方向倾斜，第二壁212用于与和第一电池单体21相邻的第一附接壁231附接，以在第二壁212与第一附接壁231之间形成在第一方向上的相互作用力。第二电池单体22包括相互连接的第三壁221和第四壁222，第三壁221垂直于第一方向，第四壁222相对于第一方向倾斜，第四壁222用于与和第二电池单体22相邻的第二附接壁241附接，以在第四壁222与第二附接壁241之间形成在第一方向上的相互作用力。
应理解，本申请实施例的电池10的箱体11可以为多面体结构，当电池10安装于用电设备中时，在沿重力方向上，箱体11的多个面中位于最上方的一个面即为箱体11的上盖，与之相反的，多个面中位于最下方的一个面即为箱体11的底壁。并且，箱体11的上盖可以垂直于重力方向，或者也可以相对于重力方向倾斜，箱体11的底壁也可以垂直于重力方向，或者也可以相对于重力方向倾斜。一般来说，当电池10放置在用电设备中，电池的上盖或者底壁处于与水平面基本平行的位置，以方便稳定地固定电池。箱体11的上盖和底壁可以相互平行，或者也可以不平行。例如，以图2为例，对于长方体的箱体11，可以将第二部分112的与开口相对的底壁朝下，以作为安装使用状态的电池10的底壁，相应的，第一部分111的底壁则为电池10的上盖。或者，也可以将第一部分111的底壁朝下，作为安装使用状态10的底壁，相应的，第二部分112的底壁则为电池10的上盖，本申请实施例并不限于此。
为了便于说明，本申请以第二部分112的底壁朝下，作为电池10的底壁，而第一部分111的底壁为电池10的上盖为例进行说明。并且，如图1所示，这里以第一部分111的底壁与第二部分112的底壁相互平行且均垂直于重力方向为例。
另外，本申请实施例的第一方向垂直于箱体11的上盖或底壁，因此，该第一方向可以平行于重力方向，或者也可以相对于重力方向倾斜。为了便于理解，下文中以该第一方向平行于重力方向为例进行说明，并且，本申请实施例的该第一方向可以 包括正方向和负方向，其中，第一方向的正方向与重力方向相反，即第一方向的正方向为如图3中箭头所指的方向X，而第一方向的负方向与重力方向保持一致，即第一方向的负方向与如图3中箭头所指方向X相反。
本申请实施例中的电池10中包括形状不同的多个电池单体20，并且每个电池单体20均为多面体结构，而第一电池单体21和第二电池单体22为多个电池单体20中任意两个形状不同的电池单体20。例如，该第一电池单体21和该第二电池单体22可以为相邻的或者不相邻的电池单体。
应理解，本申请实施例中该第一电池单体21和该第二电池单体22的形状不同可以包括：该第一电池单体21至少具有一个截面与该第二电池单体22对应的截面的形状不同，或者说，这两个截面无法完全重合。例如，该第一电池单体21沿某一平面的截面为梯形，而该第二电池单体22沿同一平面的对应截面为平行四边形，或者也可以为梯形，但是该梯形与第一电池单体21的截面的梯形的尺寸或者内角的角度不同等，本申请实施例并不限于此。
在本申请实施例中，第一电池单体21为多面体结构，第一壁211和第二壁212为第一电池单体21的两个相交的壁，并且第一壁211垂直于第一方向，而第二壁212相对于第一方向倾斜，即该第一壁211与第二壁212之间的夹角不是直角，二者不相互垂直。对于与第一电池单体21相邻的电池单体23而言，第一电池单体21的第二壁212与相邻的电池单体23的第一附接壁231附接，由于第二壁212相对于第一方向倾斜，因此第一附接壁231也相对于第一方向倾斜，并且第二壁212与第一附接壁231之间可以形成第一方向上的相互作用力，即第二壁212可以承受至少部分来自第一电池单体21的或者来自第一附接壁231所在的电池单体的沿第一方向上的作用力，同样地，第一附接壁231也可以承受至少部分来自所在的电池单体的或者来自第一电池单体21的沿第一方向上的作用力。
类似的，第二电池单体22也是多面体结构，第三壁221和第四壁222为第二电池单体22的两个相交的壁，并且第三壁221垂直于第一方向，而第四壁222相对于第一方向倾斜，即该第三壁221和第四壁222之间的夹角不是直角，二者不相互垂直。对于与第二电池单体22相邻的电池单体24而言，第二电池单体22的第四壁222与相邻的电池单体24的第二附接壁241附接，由于第四壁222相对于第一方向倾斜，因此第二附接壁241也相对于第一方向倾斜，并且第四壁222与第二附接壁241之间可以形成第一方向上的作用力，即第四壁222可以承受至少部分来自第二电池单体22的或者来自第二附接壁241所在电池单体的沿第一方向上的作用力，同样地，第二附接壁241也可以承受至少部分来自所在电池单体的或者来自第二电池单体22的沿第一方向上的作用力。
应理解，与第一电池单体21相邻的电池单体23和第一电池单体21之间通过第二壁212和第一附接壁231附接，即第二壁212与第一附接壁231贴合设置，且该第二壁212平行于第一附接壁231。同样的，与第二电池单体22相邻的电池单体24和第二电池单体22之间通过第四壁222和第二附接壁241附接，即第四壁222与第二附接壁241贴合设置，且该第四壁222平行于第二附接壁241。
因此，本申请实施例的第一电池单体21和第二电池单体22在使用过程中，可能由于电池10的振动冲击产生重力方向上的作用力，也就产生了第一方向上的作用力，或者电池单体20在充电和放电过程中可能发生膨胀变形，进而产生第一方向上的作用力。那么，第一电池单体21可以通过第二壁212和第一附接壁231承接部分第一方向上的作用力，以减少该作用力对第一电池单体21的影响，例如可以减少第一电池单体21的变形量，尤其是减少了第一方向上的变形量；类似的，第二电池单体22可以通过第四壁222和第二附接壁241承接部分第一方向上的作用力，以减少该作用力对第二电池单体22的影响，例如可以减少第二电池单体22的变形量，尤其是减少了第一方向上的变形量。并且，减少内部电池单体20的变形量可以提高整个电池10的刚度和强度，避免电池10在使用过程中由于振动冲击等原因造成的安全风险。另外，电池10内部同时设置形状不同的多个电池单体20，该多个电池单体20之间相互配合，可以提高电池10的箱体11内部的空间利用率，进而提高电池10的能量密度。
在本申请实施例中，对于电池单体20中相对于第一方向倾斜的壁，其倾斜角度通常可以根据实际应用进行设置，例如，可以设置倾斜角度的取值范围为(0°,45°]，进一步的，倾斜角度的取值范围可以为[5°，10°]。具体地，第二壁212相对于第一方向倾斜的角度的取值范围为(0°,45°]，例如，可以为[5°，10°]；和/或，第四壁222相对于第一方向倾斜的角度的取值范围为(0°,45°]，例如，可以为[5°，10°]；并且，第二壁212相对于第一方向倾斜的角度与第四壁222相对于第一方向倾斜的角度可以相同或者不同。若上述倾斜角度设置过大，则可能加大电池单体20内部电极组件的尺寸的设计难度，还会影响电池单体20的内部空间利用率，在将电池单体20组装为电池时，还会影响电池单体20之间的排列方式，增加了电池单体20与箱体11之间的空间，降低了电池10的空间利用率，也就降低了电池10的能量密度。
应理解，本申请实施例的电池10包括的多个电池单体20均为多面体结构，并且，多个电池单体20的面的数量可以相同，也可以不同。为了提高电池10的空间利用率，以及更加便于加工，可以将多个电池单体20的面的数量设置为相同，例如，可以设置电池10中的全部电池单体20均为六面体，但本申请实施例并不限于此。
在本申请实施例中，第一电池单体21和第二电池单体22为六面体结构。考虑到六面体结构比较稳定，也便于加工、组装和排列，因此，可以在电池10内设置多个六面体结构的电池单体20，下文中也以将第一电池单体21和第二电池单体22均设置为六面体结构为例进行说明，以提高电池10的能量密度和组装效率。
考虑到箱体11通常为长方体，将六面体结构的电池单体20设置为较为规则的六面体，有利于排列组合，从而能够提高电池10的组装效率。例如，如图3所示，第一电池单体21沿第一平面的截面为平行四边形或梯形，第一平面垂直于第一壁211和第二壁212；第二电池单体22沿第一平面的截面为平行四边形或梯形。具体地，第一电池单体21的沿第一平面的截面为四边形，该四边形可以为平行四边形或者梯形，该四边形包括由第一壁211和第二壁212组成的相交的两个边，还包括与第一壁211相交且与第二壁212不相交的一个边，以及与第二壁212相交且与第一壁211不相交的一个 边。第二电池单体22的沿第一平面的截面为四边形，该四边形可以为平行四边形或者梯形，该四边形包括由第三壁221和第四壁222组成的相交的两个边，还包括与第三壁221相交且与第四壁222不相交的一个边，以及与第四壁222相交且与第三壁221不相交的一个边。
在一些实施例中，若第一电池单体21沿第一平面的截面为平行四边形，那么，第二电池单体22沿第一平面的截面也可以为平行四边形，但这两个平行四边形的内角可以不同，以使得第一电池单体21与第二电池单体22为形状不同的电池单体20，或者，该第二电池单体22沿第一平面的截面也可以为梯形，例如，直角梯形或者等腰梯形等。若第一电池单体21沿第一平面的截面为梯形，例如，直角梯形或者等腰梯形等，那么第二电池单体22沿第一平面的截面可以为平行四边形，或者，也可以为梯形，但是二者的梯形的内角不同，以使得第一电池单体21与第二电池单体22为形状不同的电池单体20。
在本申请实施例中，电池10包括沿第一方向排列的至少两个电池单体组，至少两个电池单体组包括第一电池单体21和第二电池单体22，至少两个电池单体组中的每个电池单体组包括沿第二方向排列的多个电池单体，第一方向垂直于第二方向。具体地，电池10中设置有多个电池单体20，为了便于组装，通常将多个电池单体20按照一定规律排列后设置于电池10的箱体11内，例如，可以按照阵列的方式排列电池单体20。具体地，在组装后的电池10内，电池10包括沿第一方向排列的至少两个电池单体组，每个电池单体组包括沿第二方向排列的多个电池单体20，其中，第一方向和第二方向相互垂直。在该电池10包括的至少两个电池单体组内包括第一电池单体21和第二电池单体22，并且第一电池单体21和第二电池单体22可以位于相同或者不同的电池单体组内，本申请实施例并不限于此。
应理解，电池10中包括的电池单体组的数量可以根据实际应用进行设置，例如，可以设置两组至六组，图3中以设置两组为例，但本申请实施例并不限于此。
可选地，本申请实施例的第二方向垂直于第一方向，且该第二方向可以包括正方向和负方向。例如，第二方向的正方向可以为如图3中箭头所指的方向Y，而第二方向的负方向与第二方向的正方向相反，即第二方向的负方向与图3中箭头所指的方向Y相反。
应理解，为了提高电池10的箱体11的空间利用率，同一个电池单体组内的多个电池单体20沿第一方向上的厚度通常设置为相等，以使得同一个电池单体组的多个电池单体20的垂直于第一方向的壁相互齐平；而不同电池单体组之间沿第一方向上的厚度可以设置为相等或者不相等，以使至少两个电池单体组沿第一方向排列后，能够适配不同厚度的箱体11。例如，若设置不同电池单体组之间沿第一方向上的厚度均相同，例如厚度等于t，那么箱体11的沿第一方向上的高度H满足：(H-c)＝n*t，其中，c∈[10mm,40mm],进一步的，c∈[15mm,25mm],而参数n表示至少两个电池单体组的组数，n为整数，例如，n∈(1,6],进一步地，n∈[2,3],例如n＝2。
另外，不同电池单体组的沿第二方向上的最大长度通常也设置为相等，以适配箱体11沿第二方向上的长度，尽可能减少电池单体20与箱体11之间的空隙，提高箱 体11的空间利用率。
在本申请实施例中，至少两个电池单体组之间设置有垂直于第一方向的隔离部件25。具体地，电池10包括的至少两个电池单体组中，可以在其中任意两个相邻的电池单体组之间设置隔离部件25，以隔离该两个相邻的电池单体组。
具体地，该隔离部件25为下列结构中的至少一种：横梁、热管理部件和结构胶。例如，该隔离部件25可以包括横梁，该横梁可以支撑多个电池单体20，以增加箱体11的强度，提高电池10的强度和稳定性。
可选地，本申请实施例中的隔离部件25还可以包括热管理部件，即该隔离部件25可以容纳流体以给多个电池单体20调节温度。这里的流体可以是液体或气体，调节温度是指给多个电池单体20加热或者冷却。在给电池单体20冷却或降温的情况下，该隔离部件25用于容纳冷却流体以给多个电池单体20降低温度另外，隔离部件25也可以用于加热以给多个电池单体20升温，本申请实施例对此并不限定。可选的，上述流体可以是循环流动的，以达到更好的温度调节的效果。可选的，流体可以为水、水和乙二醇的混合液或者空气等。
可选地，本申请实施例中的隔离部件25还可以包括结构胶，以使得与该隔离部件25直接接触的多个电池单体20能够与隔离部件25相对固定，尤其是多个电池单体20的面积最大的壁设置于结构胶的表面时，能够极大的增加电池单体10的稳定性，进而提高了电池10的强度和稳定性。
可选地，第一方向和第二方向平行于第一平面。如图3所示，第一个电池单体21和第二电池单体22沿第一平面的截面通常为平行四边形或者梯形，设置第一方向和第二方向平行于第一平面，使得多个电池单体20排列更为规则，便于组装，也可以提高电池10的箱体11内的空间利用率。
应理解，本申请实施例的电池10包括多个形状不同的电池单体20，并且同一电池单体组内的多个电池单体20的形状可以相同或者不同。例如，以第一电池单体21和第二电池单体22为例，对于本申请实施例的任意一个电池单体组而言，该电池单体组包括沿第二方向排列的多个第一电池单体21和/或第二电池单体22。下面将结合附图，对不同实施例进行详细介绍。
可选地，作为一个实施例，对于电池10包括的任意一个电池单体组而言，该电池单体组包括的多个电池单体20的形状相同，但不同电池单体组的电池单体20的形状不同。具体地，电池10的多个电池单体组包括至少两个电池单体组满足：该至少两个电池单体组中每个电池单体组包括的多个电池单体20的形状相同，而该至少两个电池单体组包括形状不同的电池单体20。具体地，以图3为例，该电池10的多个电池单体组可以包括第一电池单体组和第二电池单体组，该第一电池单体组内的电池单体20的形状相同，这里以该第一电池单体组包括沿第二方向排列的多个第一电池单体21为例；而第二电池单体组内的电池单体20的形状也相同，这里以第二电池单体组包括沿第二方向排列的多个第二电池单体22为例，并且第一电池单体组与第二电池电池单体组包括形状不同的电池单体20。
如图3所示，这里以第一电池单体21沿第一平面的截面为等腰梯形，第二电池 单体22沿第一平面的截面为平行四边形为例。第一电池单体组包括图3中第一行的多个电池单体20，而第二电池单体组包括图3中第二行的多个电池单体20。并且，该第一电池单体组包括的多个电池单体20均为第一电池单体21，即在该第一电池单体组内，对于任意一个第一电池单体21，将与该第一电池单体21相邻的电池单体23称为第三电池单体23，那么该第三电池单体23与第一电池单体21形状相同，或者说，该相邻的两个电池单体21和23均为第一电池单体21。类似的，第二电池单体组包括的多个电池单体20均为第二电池单体22，即在该第二电池单体组内，对于任意一个第二电池单体22，将与该第二电池单体22相邻的电池单体24称为第四电池单体24，那么该第四电池单体24与第二电池单体22的形状相同，或者说，该相邻的两个电池单体22和24均为第二电池单体22。
应理解，虽然同一电池单体组内电池单体20的形状相同，但是摆放方向可能相同或者不同。例如，对于第一电池单体组包括的多个第一电池单体21，虽然多个第一电池单体21的沿第一平面的截面为完全相同的等腰梯形，但是在组装时，可以按照不同的方向设置，以图3为例，相邻两个第一电池单体21的摆放方向不同，即当一个第一电池单体21的截面的等腰梯形为上窄下宽时，与之相邻的另一电池单体21(例如第三电池单体23)则为下窄上宽，以使得该多个第一电池单体21能够紧密排列，并且该第一电池单体组的沿第一方向的厚度也相同，进而提高电池10的空间利用率。相反的，对于第二电池单体组包括的多个第二电池单体22，该多个第二电池单体22沿第一平面的截面为平行四边形，只需要将该多个第二电池单体22按照相同方向排列，即可获得紧密排列的一个电池单体组。
图4示出了本申请实施例的形状相同的相邻两个电池单体20的示意图，具体地，该图4为图3中第二电池单体组内任意一个第二电池单体22与相邻的第四电池单体24的示意图。如图4所示，若电池单体组内的多个电池单体20形状相同，那么该电池单体组包括形状相同的相邻的两个电池单体20，而图4中以第二电池单体22和第四电池单体24为例。第二电池单体22和第四电池单体24沿第一平面的截面为完全相同的平行四边形，第二电池单体22的第四壁222与第四电池单体24的第二附接壁241附接，第四壁222与第二附接壁241均相对于第一方向倾斜，倾斜角度为θ，该第四壁222平行于第二附接壁241。其中，该倾斜角度θ的取值范围为(0°,45°]，进一步的，倾斜角度θ的取值范围可以为[5°，10°]。
在电池10的使用过程中，可能由于电池10的振动冲击产生重力方向上的作用力，也就产生了第一方向的作用力，或者在充电和放电过程中可能发生变形，进而产生第一方向上的作用力，而第二电池单体22可以通过第四壁222和第二附接壁241承接部分第一方向上的作用力，以减少该作用力对第二电池单体22的影响，例如可以减少第二电池单体22的变形量，尤其是减少了第一方向上的变形量。例如，第二电池单体22在充电和放电过程中，其内部第二电极组件224可能发生沿第一方向上的膨胀，该膨胀可能沿第一方向的正方向或者负方向，那么该第四壁222和第二附接壁241可以对该膨胀力产生一定束缚，例如，该第四壁222与第二附接壁241可以对沿第一方向的负方向上的膨胀力产生一定束缚，以减少第二电池单体22沿第一方向的变形量。另外， 第四电池单体24在充电和放电过程中，也可能产生沿第一方向上的膨胀，而该第四壁222和第二附接壁241同样可以对第四电池单体24产生的第一方向上的作用力产生一定束缚，例如，该第四壁222和第二附接壁241可以对第四电池单体24产生的沿第一方向的正方向上的膨胀力产生一定束缚，以减小第四电池单体24的变形量。
类似的，第一电池单体21也可以通过第二壁212和第一附接壁231承接部分第一方向上的作用力，而第三电池单体23也可以通过第二壁212和第一附接壁231承接部分第一方向上的作用力，以减少该作用力对第一电池单体21和第三电池单体23的影响，例如可以减少第一电池单体21与第三电池单体23的变形量，尤其是减少了第一方向上的变形量，为了简洁，在此不再赘述。
应理解，如图3和图4所示，由于第一电池单体21和第二电池单体22存在相对于第一方向倾斜的壁，因此，每个电池单体组与箱体11之间存在空隙26，浪费箱体11的空间，为提高空间利用率，可以在空隙26处设置其他部件或者加强筋等结构，以增加箱体11的强度，或者，还可以在空隙26处设置相应形状的电池单体20，以填充箱体11内部空间，例如，在图3所示的空隙26处设置沿第一平面的截面为直角梯形的电池单体20，以填充空隙26，提高电池10的能量密度，这样，同一电池单体组内则可能存在形状不同的电池单体20。
可选地，作为另一个实施例，对于电池10包括的任意一个电池单体组而言，该电池单体组可以包括多个形状不同的电池单体20。具体地，该电池10包括的多个电池单体组中包括至少一个第三电池单体组，该第三电池单体组满足：该第三电池单体组包括形状不同的电池单体20，提高多个电池单体20组装的灵活性，还可以通过设置不同形状的电池单体20适配箱体11的内部空间，尽可能提高电池10的能量密度。图5示出了本申请实施例的一种第三电池单体组的示意图，图6示出了本申请实施例的另一种第三电池单体组的示意图，如图5和图6所示，该第三电池单体组包括至少一个第一电池单体21和至少一个第二电池单体22。
可选地，第三电池单体组中任意两个相邻的电池单体20的形状可以相同，也可以不同。例如，如图5和图6所示，第三电池单体组包括的任意两个相邻的电池单体20可以包括两个第一电池单体21，或者包括两个第二电池单体22，或者包括一个第一电池单体21和一个第二电池单体22，本申请实施例并不限于此。并且，当相邻两个电池单体20的形状相同时，其摆放顺序也可以相同或者不同。例如，对于第三电池单体组中相邻的两个第一电池单体21，虽然两个第一电池单体21的沿第一平面的截面为完全相同的等腰梯形，但是在组装时，一个第一电池单体21的截面的等腰梯形为上窄下宽时，与之相邻的另一电池单体21(例如第三电池单体23)则为下窄上宽，以使得该相邻的两个第一电池单体21能够紧密排列，并且两个第一电池单体21的沿第一方向的厚度也相同，进而提高电池10的空间利用率。相反的，对于第三电池单体组中相邻的两个第二电池单体22，两个第二电池单体22沿第一平面的截面为平行四边形，只需要将两个第二电池单体22按照相同方向排列，即可获得紧密排列的两个第二电池单体22。
图7示出了本申请实施例的第三电池单体组内相邻的两个电池单体20的示意图，且图7以该相邻两个电池单体20的形状不同类似，该图7中左边的电池单体20为 第一电池单体21，该第一电池单体21沿第一平面的截面为等腰梯形，与该第一电池单体21相邻的第三电池单体23与第一电池单体21形状不同，该第三电池单体23与第二电池单体22形状相同，或者说该第三电池单体23为第二电池单体22，该第三电池单体23的沿第一平面的截面为平行四边形。
如图7所示，第一电池单体21的第二壁212与第三电池单体23的第一附接壁231附接，该第二壁212与第一附接壁231均相对于第一方向倾斜，倾斜角度为θ，该第二壁212平行于第一附接壁231。其中，该倾斜角度θ的取值范围为(0°,45°]，进一步的，倾斜角度θ的取值范围可以为[5°，10°]。
在电池10的使用过程中，可能由于电池10的振动冲击产生重力方向上的作用力，也就产生了第一方向的作用力，或者在充电和放电过程中可能发生变形，进而产生第一方向上的作用力，而第一电池单体21可以通过第一壁212和第一附接壁231承接部分第一方向上的作用力，以减少该作用力对第一电池单体21的影响，例如可以减少第一电池单体21的变形量，尤其是减少了第一方向上的变形量。例如，第一电池单体21在充电和放电过程中，其内部的第一电极组件214可能发生沿第一方向上的膨胀，该膨胀可能沿第一方向的正方向或者负方向，那么第二壁212与第一附接壁231可以对该膨胀力产生一定束缚，例如，该第二壁212与第一附接壁231可以对沿第一方向的正方向上的膨胀力产生一定束缚，以减少第一电池单体21沿第一方向的变形量。另外，第三电池单体23在充电和放电过程中，也可能产生沿第一方向上的膨胀，而该第二壁212与第一附接壁231同样可以对第三电池单体23产生的第一方向上的作用力产生一定束缚，例如，该第二壁212与第一附接壁231可以对第三电池单体23产生的沿第一方向的负方向上的膨胀力产生一定束缚，以减小第四电池单体24的变形量。
类似的，第二电池单体22也可以通过第四壁222和第二附接壁241承接部分第一方向上的作用力，而第四电池单体24也可以通过第四壁222和第二附接壁241承接部分第一方向上的作用力，以减少该作用力对第二电池单体22和第四电池单体24的影响，例如可以减少第二电池单体22和第四电池单体24的变形量，尤其是减少了第一方向上的变形量，为了简洁，在此不再赘述。
应理解，对于上述两个实施例，可以分开使用，也可以相互结合使用。例如，在电池10包括的至少两个电池单体组中，可以包括至少一个第一电池单体组和至少一个第二电池单体组；或者，至少两个电池单体组可以只包括多个第三电池单体组；或者，至少两个电池单体组包括至少一个第一电池单体组、至少一个第二电池单体组和至少一个第三电池单体组；或者，至少两个电池单体组包括至少一个第一电池单体组和至少一个第三电池单体组；或者，至少两个电池单体组包括至少一个第二电池单体组和至少一个第三电池单体组，本申请实施例并不限于此。
在本申请实施例中，每个电池单体组中包括与箱体11的侧壁直接接触的多个电池单体。由于第一电池单体21的第二壁212和第二电池单体22的第四壁222相对于第一方向倾斜，进而能够承接电池单体20之间的至少部分沿第一方向的作用力，因此，可以不在多个电池单体20的两端设置与箱体11的侧壁垂直的端板，使得每个电池单体组中位于最边缘的电池单体20可以直接与箱体11的侧壁接触。例如，如图3至图7所 示，对于箱体11的垂直于第二方向的侧壁，该侧壁可以与电池单体20直接接触，而无需设置端板，从而节省箱体11内部空间，提高电池10的能量密度。
应理解，本申请实施例的电池单体20内部包括电极组件，并且可以根据电池单体20的形状灵活设置不同类型、不同尺寸和不同形状的电极组件。例如，以第一电池单体21为例，图8示出了本申请实施例的第一电池单体21的截面的多种可能的示意图，如图8所示，该第一电池单体21沿第一平面的截面为等腰梯形，其内部具有第一电极组件214。第一电池单体21内部第一电极组件214的个数也可以根据实际应用进行设置，例如，可以设置一个或者多个第一电极组件214，再例如，可以设置一个至四个第一电极组件214。并且，当第一电池单体21内部包括多个第一电极组件214时，该多个第一电极组件214可以根据实际应用排列。例如，该第一电池单体21包括两个第一电极组件214时，该两个第一电极组件214可以沿第一方向排列，也可以沿第二方向排列；再例如，该第一电池单体21包括多于两个第一电极组件214时，还可以采用其他方式排列，以提高第一电池单体21的能量密度，本申请实施例并不限于此。
如图8所示，对于每个第一电极组件214，该第一电极组件214可以为叠片式，例如图8左边第一个图，该叠片式的第一电极组件沿第一方向堆叠设置；或者，该第一电极组件214还可以为卷绕式，例如，图8中右边三个图，并且该第一电极组件214的卷绕轴垂直于第一平面，或者说该第一电极组件214的卷绕轴垂直于第一方向和第二方向。并且，该第一电极组件214沿第一平面的截面可以为任意形状，例如，可以为梯形、圆形或者椭圆形等。并且，由于第一电池单体21的沿第一平面的截面为等腰梯形，即第一电池单体21在第一方向上的不同位置处，该第一电池单体21沿第二方向上的长度是不同的，因此，可以在第一电池单体21内设置多个尺寸不同的第一电极组件214，以适配该第一电池单体21的形状。
应理解，与第一电池单体21类似，第二电池单体22内部的第二电极组件224的个数、形状、尺寸和类型等也可以根据实际应用灵活设置，适用于上述关于第一电池单体21的第一电极组件214的描述，为了简洁，在此不再赘述。并且，第一电池单体21的第一电极组件214与第二电池单体22的第二电极组件224的设置方式可以相同也可以不同，本申请实施例并不限于此。
在本申请实施例中，第一电池单体21的面积最大的壁垂直于第一方向，第二电池单体22的面积最大的壁垂直于第一方向。具体地，在按照图8所示的几种方式设置电池单体20内部的电极组件时，电池单体20的垂直于第一方向的两隔壁的变形量较大，因此，如图3至图8所示，将第一电池单体21和第二电池单体22的面积最大的壁设置为垂直于第一方向，更加有利于散热，进而减少第一电池单体21和第二电池单体22的沿第一方向上的膨胀力，提高电池10的稳定性和安全性。
另外，如图3至图7所示，在采用如图所示的方式设置第一电池单体21中的第一电极组件214和第二电池单体22中的第二电极组件224时，还能够保证每个电池单体20内部电解液对电极组件的浸润高度相同，保证同一个电池单体20内的多个电极组件的环境的一致性，进而提高电池单体20的性能。同时，电极组件的这种设置方式还可以使得电极组件与电池单体20的外部壳体接触面较小，则电极组件对外的传热面积 也较小，从而可以很好的解决电池单体20的热扩散问题。
可选地，第一电池单体21的面积最大的壁相对于第一方向倾斜，第二电池单体22的面积最大的壁相对于第一方向倾斜。具体地，图9示出了本申请实施例的第二电池单体22的截面的多种可能的示意图，如图9所示，这里以第二电池单体2为例，与图3至图8不同的是，第一电池单体21和第二电池单体22的面积最大的壁也可以相对于第一方向倾斜，以与相邻的电池单体20附接。
例如，如图9中左边第一个图所示，该第二电池单体22可以包括沿第一方向排列的两个卷绕式的第二电极组件224，并且每个第二电极组件224沿第一平面的截面为圆形，每个第二电极组件224的卷绕轴垂直于第一平面，或者说，每个第二电极组件224的卷绕轴垂直于第一方向和第二方向。再例如，如图9中左边第二个图所示，该第二电池单体22的第二电极组件224还可以为叠片式，其堆叠方向垂直于面积最大的壁。再例如，如图9中左边第三个图所示，该第二电池单体22还可以包括两个沿第二方向排列的卷绕式第二电极组件224，并且每个第二电极组件224沿第一平面的截面为近似的椭圆形，每个第二电极组件224的卷绕轴垂直于第一平面，或者说，每个第二电极组件224的卷绕轴垂直于第一方向和第二方向。再例如，图9中左边第四个图所示，第二电池单体22的沿第一平面的截面为等边平行四边形，那么该等边平行四边形的四个边所表示的四个壁面积相等，且均为第二电池单体22的面积最大的壁，那么该第二电池单体22的内部还可以设置一个圆柱形第二电极组件224，该第二电极组件224为卷绕式，卷绕轴垂直于第一平面，或者说，第二电极组件224的卷绕轴垂直于第一方向和第二方向，但本申请实施例并不限于此。
类似的，与图9中第二电池单体22类似，第一电池单体21内部的第一电极组件214的个数、形状、尺寸和类型等也可以根据实际应用灵活设置，适用于上述关于图9中第二电池单体22的第二电极组件224的描述，为了简洁，在此不再赘述。并且，第一电池单体21的第一电极组件214与第二电池单体22的第二电极组件224的设置方式可以相同也可以不同，本申请实施例并不限于此。
应理解，如图3至图9所示，对于上述采用圆柱形卷绕式电极组件的电池单体20，可以无需在电池单体20的外表面预留膨胀空间，而直接将两个相邻的电池单体20的外表面通过涂层等方式粘接在一起，以提高电池10的整体刚度和强度。具体地，对于圆柱形卷绕式电极组件，可以利用极片与极片之间的层间间隙，使得电极组件在膨胀后形成圆柱自束缚膨胀，从而使得圆柱形电极组件的外部直径膨胀变化较小，这样，电极组件对电池单体20的外部的壳体的膨胀变形也就较小，尤其是电池单体20的面积最大的表面的膨胀形变小，也就无需为电池单体20预留膨胀空间，提高电池10内电池单体20的空间利用率，也就提高了电池10的能量密度。
可选地，可以通过多种方式设置圆柱形卷绕式电极组件的极片与极片之间的层间间隙。例如，可以通过在至少部分极片表面设置凸点，以使极片与极片卷绕后，利用极片表面凸点形成层间间隙；或者，也可以在极片与极片之间增加涂层，以构造层间间隙，例如，该涂层可以为聚碳硅烷(Polysilacarbosilane，PCS)，但本申请实施例并不限于此。
在本申请实施例中，第一电池单体21的面积最小的壁平行于第一平面，第二电池单体22的面积最小的壁平行于第一平面。如图3至图9所示，对于长方体的箱体11，将其内部的电池单体20的面积最小的壁设置为平行于第一平面，有利于节省空间，避免在垂直于第一平面的方向上，电池单体20与箱体11之间的空隙过大。
可选地，第一电池单体21的面积最小的壁上设置有第一电极端子213，第二电池单体22的面积最小的壁上设置有第二电极端子223。由于电极端子通常体积不大，将电极端子设置于电池单体20的面积最小的壁上，例如，将第一电极端子213设置于第一电池单体21的面积最小的壁上，将第二电极端子223设置于第二电池单体22的面积最小的壁上，可以节省空间；并且，如图3至图9所示，无论采用何种方式设置和组装电池单体20，将电极端子设置于面积最小的壁上，不影响相邻两个电池单体20之间的附接。
可选地，第一电池单体21设置有位于不同壁上的两个第一电极端子213；第二电池单体22设置有位于不同壁上的两个第二电极端子223。电池单体20具有两个电极端子，分别为正电极端子和负电极端子，该两个电极端子可以位于同一壁或者不同壁上，并且，当两个电极端子位于不同壁上时，两个电极端子所在的两个壁可以为相交的壁或者不相交的壁，例如，可以位于相互平行的两个壁，本申请实施例并不限于此。
图10示出了本申请实施例的电池单体20的示意图。如图10所示，该电池单体20可以为第一电池单体21，则该第一电池单体21具有两个设置于不同壁上的第一电极端子213，这里以两个第一电极端子213位于面积最小且相等的壁上为例，两个第一电极端子213所在的两个壁相对设置。或者，图10中的该电池单体20也可以为第二电池单体22，该第二电池单体22具有设置于不同壁上的第二电极端子223，这里以两个第二电极端子223位于面积最小且相等的壁上为例，两个第二电极端子223所在的两个壁相对设置。
如图10所示，第一电极端子213或者说第二电极端子223所在的壁垂直于第三方向，该第三方向垂直于第一方向和第二方向，该第三方向还可以垂直于第一平面。该第三方向可以包括正方向和负方向，其中，第三方向的正方向为如图10中箭头所指的方向Z，而第三方向的负方向与第三方向的负方向相反，即第三方向的负方向与如图10中箭头所指方向Z相反。
图11示出了本申请实施例的电池10的截面示意图，该截面为沿垂直于第二方向的平面的截面。如图11所示，将电池单体20的电极端子按照如图10所示的方式，设置于电池单体20的两端，进而再组装为电池10，这样，在第三方向上的电池单体20之间不再需要汇流部件实现电连接，只需要将沿第三方向相邻的两个电池单体20的电极端子抵接，即可实现两个相邻电池单体20的电连接，实现电池10的快速组装，节省汇流部件，不需要预留汇流部件的安装空间，提高了电池10的组装效率，也提高了电池10的能量密度。
上文描述了本申请实施例的电池单体、电池和用电设备，下面将描述本申请实施例的制备电池单体的方法和设备，其中未详细描述的部分可参见前述各实施例。
图12示出了本申请一个实施例的制备电池10的方法300的示意性流程图。如 图12所示，该方法300可以包括：S310，提供箱体11；S320，提供至少一个第一电池单体21和至少一个第二电池单体22，第一电池单体21和第二电池单体22容纳于箱体11中，第一电池单体21和第二电池单体22为形状不同的多面体结构，其中，第一电池单体21包括相互连接的第一壁211和第二壁212，第一壁211垂直于第一方向，第一方向垂直于箱体11的上盖或者底壁，第二壁212相对于第一方向倾斜，第二壁212用于与和第一电池单体21相邻的第一附接壁231附接，以在第二壁212与第一附接壁231之间形成在第一方向上的相互作用力；第二电池单体22包括相互连接的第三壁221和第四壁222，第三壁221垂直于第一方向，第四壁222相对于第一方向倾斜，第四壁222用于与和第二电池单体22相邻的第二附接壁241附接，以在第四壁222与第二附接壁241之间形成在第一方向上的相互作用力。
