Generally, the cover plate body 1 is further provided with a liquid injection hole, and a liquid injection hole cover 5 covers the liquid injection hole.

[0053] Since the present disclosure does not improve the structure other than the composite explosion-proof valve 6 on the cover plate assembly of the battery, only the structure of the composite explosion-proof valve 6 is specifically explained below.

[0054] As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 to FIG. 6, the composite explosion-proof valve 6 provided by the present embodiment includes a base body 60, a first layer of explosion-proof membrane 61, and a second layer of explosion-proof membrane 62; the base body 60 is provided with a pressure relief hole 603, and the second layer of explosion-proof membrane 62 and the first layer of explosion-proof membrane 61 are respectively mounted at two ends of the pressure relief hole 603; the first layer of explosion-proof membrane 61 is mounted at an outer end of the pressure relief hole 603, and the second layer of explosion-proof membrane 62 is mounted at an inner end of the pressure relief hole 603; and a flame-retardant structure 63 is arranged in the pressure relief hole 603 between the second layer of explosion-proof membrane 62 and the first layer of explosion-proof membrane 61.

[0055] The base body 60 is configured to be welded with the cover plate body 1 (or the base body 60 may be mounted on the shell 2, and in the present embodiment, the base body 60 is mounted on the cover plate body 1 selectively). Or the base body 60 may be subjected to integral stamping process with the cover plate body 1 to serve as a part of the cover plate body 1, namely, the base body 60 may be a structure independent of the cover plate body 1 or the shell 2. Or the base body 60 may be integrally formed with the cover plate body 1 or the shell 2. In other words, the base body 60 of the composite explosion-proof valve 6 is formed as a part of the cover plate body 1 or the shell 2.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the base body 60 includes a base part 601 and a lug boss part 602 protruding from the base part 601, and the pressure relief hole 603 is formed by upwards stretching from the center of the base part 601 to penetrate through the lug boss part 602. The base part 601 is configured to be welded with the cover plate body 1 (or the base part 601 may be mounted on the shell 2, and in the present embodiment, the base part 601 is mounted on the cover plate body 1 selectively). Or the base part 601 may be subjected to integral Stamping process with the cover plate body 1 to serve as a part of the cover plate body 1, namely, the base part 601 may be a structure independent of the cover plate body 1 or the shell 2. Or the base part 601 may be integrally formed with the cover plate body 1 or the shell 2. In other words, the base part 601 of the composite explosion-proof valve 6 may be formed as a part of the cover plate body 1 or the shell 2.

[0057] The first layer of explosion-proof membrane 61 and the second layer of explosion-proof membrane 62 may be a pressure-controlled explosion-proof membrane or a temperature-controlled explosion-proof membrane respectively. Namely, both the first layer of explosion-proof membrane 61 and the second layer of explosion-proof membrane 62 may be pressure-controlled explosion-proof membranes. Both the first layer of explosion-proof membrane 61 and the second layer of explosion-proof membrane 62 may be temperature-controlled explosion-proof membranes; the first layer of explosion-proof membrane 61 may be a pressure-controlled explosion-proof membrane, and the second layer of explosion-proof membrane 62 may be a temperature-controlled explosion-proof membrane. Or the second layer of explosion-proof membrane 62 may be a pressure-controlled explosion-proof membrane, and the first layer of explosion-proof membrane 61 may be a temperature-controlled explosion-proof membrane.

[0058] For example, as shown in FIG. 2, both the first layer of explosion-proof membrane 61 mounted at the outer end of the pressure relief hole 603 and the second layer of explosion-proof membrane 62 mounted at the inner end of the pressure relief hole 603 are temperature-controlled explosion-proof membranes. As shown in FIG. 4, both the first layer of explosion-proof membrane 61 mounted at the outer end of the pressure relief hole 603 and the second layer of explosion-proof membrane 62 mounted at the inner end of the pressure relief hole 603 are pressure-controlled explosion-proof membranes. As shown in FIG. 6, a pressure-controlled explosion-proof membrane is mounted at the outer end of the pressure relief hole 603, and a temperature-controlled explosion-proof membrane is mounted at the inner end of the pressure relief hole 603.

[0059] An opening temperature of the temperature-controlled explosion-proof membrane is 100-200 C. The opening temperature refers to a temperature at which the temperature-controlled explosion-proof membrane is heated and opened. When the temperature-controlled explosion-proof membrane is heated and the temperature reaches the opening temperature, the temperature-controlled explosion-proof membrane is opened. The opening temperature is lower than a thermal runaway temperature of a positive electrode material of the battery. The thermal runaway temperature of the positive electrode material of an existing lithium ion battery is 200-600 C. generally. Tests show that the effect is optimal when the opening temperature of the temperature-controlled explosion-proof membrane is 100-150 C., and in the temperature range, the temperature-controlled explosion-proof membrane cannot be opened in advance and can be ensured to be opened before thermal runaway of the positive electrode material of the battery.

[0060] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 6, mounting parts 622 are formed at peripheral edges of the temperature-controlled explosion-proof membrane, a framework 623 is embedded in the mounting part 622, and a central part of the temperature-controlled explosion-proof membrane is provided with an opening region 621. The framework 623 is configured to support and fix the temperature-controlled explosion-proof membrane, and the framework 623 is a carbon fiber framework or a memory alloy framework. The framework 623 may be injection-molded in the base body 60 of the temperature-controlled explosion-proof membrane in a mode of injection molding, or the peripheral edge of the temperature-controlled explosion-proof membrane is overturned and covered to wrap and fix the framework 623 on the mounting part 622.

[0061] Specifically, the temperature-controlled explosion-proof membrane may be mounted in modes of gluing, crimping, welding, or the like. In this way, when the temperature is excessively high, the temperature-controlled explosion-proof membrane is heated to shrink, the opening region 621 is first pulled apart while the internal temperature rises, and then the mounting part 622 further shrinks by taking the framework 623 as a fixed point to enlarge an exhaust opening, so as to realize the function of opening the temperature-controlled explosion-proof membrane by heating.

[0062] The opening region 621 is integrally press-thinned or gradually thinned relative to the mounting part 622. The opening region 621 may be formed in a cross shape as shown in FIG. 3, or may be in a straight shape or any other suitable shape.

[0063] A material of the temperature-controlled explosion-proof membrane is not specifically limited as long as the material is resistant to corrosion, is influenced by temperature and may be heated to shrink so as to open the temperature-controlled explosion-proof membrane when the temperature exceeds a preset temperature. In the present embodiment, a material of the temperature-controlled explosion-proof membrane is a non-metal material. For example, the material of the temperature-controlled explosion-proof membrane is one of PP (Polypropylene), PE (Polyethylene), PPO (Polyphenylene Oxide), PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate), or PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride).

[0064] The thickness of the mounting part 622 of the temperature-controlled explosion-proof membrane is 0.2-5 mm. Preferably, the thickness of the mounting part 622 of the temperature-controlled explosion-proof membrane is 0.5-2 mm.

[0065] A thickness of the opening region 621 of the temperature-controlled explosion-proof membrane is 0.02-3 mm, and a width of the opening region 621 is 0.3-10 mm. In a preferred implementation, the thickness of the opening region 621 of the temperature-controlled explosion-proof membrane is 0.05-0.15 mm, and a width of the cross shape in a preferred embodiment is 1-5 mm.

[0066] A preferred opening pressure of the pressure-controlled explosion-proof membrane is 0.1-2 MPa. The opening pressure refers to a pressure at which the pressure-controlled explosion-proof membrane is pressed and opened; when the internal pressure of the battery is greater than the opening pressure, the pressure-controlled explosion-proof membrane is opened; and preferably, the opening pressure of the pressure-controlled explosion-proof membrane is 0.2-0.8 MPa.

[0067] As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 6, the pressure-controlled explosion-proof membrane includes welding parts 610 at peripheral edges and a pressure opening part 611 in the middle, and the welding part 610 is welded on the base body 60. The pressure opening part 611 of the pressure-controlled explosion-proof membrane is provided with explosion-proof notches 612. A welding seam 615 is formed between the welding part 610 and the base body 60, and the welding seam 615 is filled with welding flux to weld the pressure-controlled explosion-proof membrane on the base body 60.

[0068] As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 to FIG. 6, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, a stepped bottom mounting step 605 is formed at a lower end of the base body 60, and one layer of explosion-proof membrane is mounted in the bottom mounting step 605; and a stepped top mounting step 604 is formed at an upper end of the base body 60, and the other layer of explosion-proof membrane is mounted in the top mounting step 604.

[0069] A material of the pressure-controlled explosion-proof membrane may be an aluminum foil well known by those skilled in the art, or may be another material well known by those skilled in the art.

[0070] As the pressure-controlled explosion-proof membrane is mounted on the base body 60 in a mode of welding, when the pressure-controlled explosion-proof membrane is tightly tensioned, the pressure-controlled explosion-proof membrane is easily damaged in a welding process. Therefore, preferably, the pressure opening part 611 of the pressure-controlled explosion-proof membrane is also provided with a flexible buffer structure. The flexible buffer structure may effectively avoid cracking or breaking of the explosion-proof notches 612 caused by shrinkage of two sides of the welding seam 615 during laser welding, so as to ensure the finished product ratio of the explosion-proof valve in a manufacturing process. Furthermore, by adopting the above flexible buffer structure, the uniformity and reliability of the starting pressure of the pressure-controlled explosion-proof membrane may be greatly improved, and the fatigue resistance of the pressure-controlled explosion-proof membrane can also be well improved.

[0071] The flexible buffer structure is arranged between the welding seam 615 and the explosion-proof notch 612.

[0072] Specifically, the flexible buffer structure is annular. The flexible buffer structure is not specifically limited in structure, and the flexible buffer structure may include one or more wave crests 614 and/or wave troughs 613. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the flexible buffer structure includes one wave crest 614 and one wave trough 613.

[0073] A thickness of the welding part 610 of the pressure-controlled explosion-proof membrane is 0.2-0.8 mm, and a thickness of the pressure opening part 611 of the pressure-controlled explosion-proof membrane is 0.05-0.15 mm.

[0074] A height difference between the wave crest 614 and the wave trough 613 and a surface of the pressure opening part is 1-8 times the thickness of the pressure opening part 611. The height difference herein refers to a distance between the highest point of the wave crest 614 and an upper surface of the pressure opening part 611 and a distance between the lowest point of the wave trough 613 and a lower surface of the pressure opening part 611.

[0075] The specific structure and material of the flame-retardant structure 63 are not specifically limited as long as the structure and the material may ensure that internal combustible gas leaks out through the flame-retardant structure 63 in time and the flame-retardant structure 63 can form an oxygen-deficient state, so as to prevent external oxygen gas from entering. For example, an inner part of the flame-retardant structure 63 includes a gap (or hole) and the like, so that under the condition that the internal pressure is larger, the combustible gas inside the battery may leak out through the gap in time, and oxygen gas difficultly enters the battery through the gap.

[0076] The flame-retardant structure 63 contains a flame-retardant agent. The flame-retardant agent may be in a form of solid powder, and the flame-retardant structure 63 is formed by compressing and ramming the flame-retardant agent in the form of solid powder. Alternatively, the flame-retardant structure is a microcapsule containing the flame-retardant agent. The flame-retardant agent may be configured as an organic flame-retardant agent, an inorganic flame-retardant agent, or a mixed flame-retardant agent formed by mixing the inorganic flame-retardant agent with the organic flame-retardant agent. The organic flame-retardant agent includes one or more of a halogen-based flame-retardant agent, a phosphorus-based flame-retardant agent, a nitrogen-based flame-retardant agent, and a phosphorus-halogen-based flame-retardant agent. The inorganic flame-retardant agent includes one or more of antimonous oxide, magnesium hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide, or silicon-based oxide. The mixed flame-retardant agent is formed by mixing the organic flame-retardant agent with the inorganic flame-retardant agent. For example, the present embodiment provides an improved mixed flame-retardant agent, and the mixed flame-retardant agent includes red phosphorus, aluminum hydroxide, and expanded graphite.

[0077] As shown in FIG. 2, in the present embodiment, both the first layer of explosion-proof membrane 61 mounted at the outer end of the pressure relief hole 603 and the second layer of explosion-proof membrane 62 mounted at the inner end of the pressure relief hole 603 are temperature-controlled explosion-proof membranes. Specifically, the stepped bottom mounting step 605 is formed at the lower end of the base body 60, and one layer of the temperature-controlled explosion-proof membrane is mounted in the bottom mounting step 605; and the stepped top mounting step 604 is formed at the upper end of the base body 60, and the other layer of temperature-controlled explosion-proof membrane is mounted in the top mounting step 604. A working principle of the battery with the composite explosion-proof valve 6 and provided by the present embodiment is described as follows: When the temperature rises due to abnormity inside the battery and combustible gas is produced inside the battery, and when the temperature rises to the opening temperature of the temperature-controlled explosion-proof membrane, the temperature-controlled explosion-proof valve is heated to shrink, the opening region 621 is first pulled apart, and then the mounting part 622 further shrinks by taking the framework 623 as the fixed point to enlarge the exhaust opening, so as to realize the function of opening the temperature-controlled explosion-proof membrane by heating. Because of the existence of the flame-retardant structure 63, a flame-retardant function is realized at the composite explosion-proof valve 6 to isolate external oxygen gas from entering the battery, thereby effectively preventing occurrence of battery combustion and explosion accidents.

[0078] As shown in FIG. 4, in the present embodiment, both the first layer of explosion-proof membrane 61 mounted at the outer end of the pressure relief hole 603 and the second layer of explosion-proof membrane 62 mounted at the inner end of the pressure relief hole 603 are pressure-controlled explosion-proof membranes. Specifically, the stepped bottom mounting step 605 is formed at the lower end of the base body 60, and one layer of the pressure-controlled explosion-proof membrane is mounted in the bottom mounting step 605; and the stepped top mounting step 604 is formed at the upper end of the base body 60, and the other layer of pressure-controlled explosion-proof membrane is mounted in the top mounting step 604. A working principle of the battery with the composite explosion-proof valve 6 and provided by the present embodiment is described as follows: When the pressure rises due to abnormity inside the battery and the internal gas pressure increases to the opening pressure of the pressure-controlled explosion-proof membrane, the pressure-controlled explosion-proof membrane is opened from the explosion-proof notch 612. At this moment, because of the existence of the flame-retardant structure 63, the flame-retardant function is realized at the composite explosion-proof valve 6 to isolate external oxygen gas from entering the battery, thereby effectively preventing occurrence of battery combustion and explosion accidents.

[0079] As shown in FIG. 6, in the present embodiment, the first layer of explosion-proof membrane 61 mounted at the outer end of the pressure relief hole 603 is a pressure-controlled explosion-proof membrane, and the second layer of explosion-proof membrane 62 mounted at the inner end of the pressure relief hole 603 is a temperature-controlled explosion-proof membrane. Specifically, the stepped bottom mounting step 605 is formed at the lower end of the base body 60, and the temperature-controlled explosion-proof membrane is mounted in the bottom mounting step 605; and the stepped top mounting step 604 is formed at the upper end of the base body 60, and the pressure-controlled explosion-proof membrane is mounted in the top mounting step 604. The welding part 610 is welded in the top mounting step 604, the welding seam 615 is formed between the welding part 610 and the top mounting step 604, and the welding seam 615 is filled with the welding flux to weld the pressure-controlled explosion-proof membrane 61 on the top mounting step 604. A working principle of the battery with the composite explosion-proof valve 6 and provided by the present embodiment is described as follows: When the temperature rises due to abnormity inside the battery and combustible gas is produced inside the battery, and when the temperature rises to the opening temperature of the temperature-controlled explosion-proof membrane, the temperature-controlled explosion-proof membrane is heated to shrink, the opening region 621 is first pulled apart while the internal temperature rises, and then the mounting part 622 further shrinks by taking the framework 623 as a fixed point to enlarge the exhaust opening, so as to realize the function of opening the temperature-controlled explosion-proof membrane by heating. At this moment, the internal positive electrode material is not out of control. After 3-5 seconds, the internal temperature of the battery significantly rises, the internal gas pressure further increases, and when the internal gas pressure increases to the opening pressure of the pressure-controlled explosion-proof membrane, the pressure-controlled explosion-proof membrane is opened from the explosion-proof notch 612. At this moment, due to the existence of the flame-retardant structure 63, a flame-retardant function is realized at the composite explosion-proof valve 6 to prevent external oxygen gas from entering the battery, thereby effectively preventing occurrence of battery combustion and explosion accidents.

[0080] As a preferable mode, the composite explosion-proof valve 6 further includes a valve cover (not marked in the figures), and the valve cover is mounted on the base body 60 to be used for preventing the composite explosion-proof valve 6 from being damaged by an external force.

[0081] According to the battery, the cover plate assembly, and the composite explosion-proof valve 6 provided by the present disclosure, the cover plate assembly of the battery is provided with the improved composite explosion-proof valve 6 of the present disclosure. Since at least two layers of explosion-proof membranes are mounted on the composite explosion-proof valve 6 and the flame-retardant structure 63 is arranged between the two layers of explosion-proof membranes, when the battery is abnormal, the explosion-proof membrane is opened. Under the action of the flame-retardant structure 63, the composite explosion-proof valve 6 is in a local oxygen-deficient state, and it is difficult for a high-temperature combustible matter ejected from the battery to ignite under the local oxygen-deficient condition. Therefore, the composite explosion-proof valve is capable of relieving pressure in time when the battery is abnormal and effectively preventing external oxygen from entering, thereby preventing occurrence of battery combustion and explosion and avoiding secondary disasters and larger abnormity.

[0082] The foregoing descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present disclosure, but are not intended to limit the present disclosure. Any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present disclosure shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
