Battery module, battery pack, device and failure processing method
View Patent ↗Embodiments of the present application relate to a battery module, a battery pack, a device and a failure processing method. The battery module includes: a plurality of battery units for series connection, where after the battery module fails, the plurality of battery units include a failed battery unit and at least one unfailed battery unit adjacent to the failed battery unit; a connecting sheet, used to connect the plurality of battery units in series, where the connecting sheet is provided with at least one breakage guide portion for guiding the connecting sheet to break and form a first part and a second part which are arranged separately, where the first part is used to be connected to the at least one unfailed battery unit and the second part is used to be connected to the failed battery unit; and an electroconductive part, used to be connected to the first part.
1 . A battery module, comprising:
a plurality of battery units for series connection, wherein after the battery module fails, the plurality of battery units comprise a failed battery unit and at least one unfailed battery unit adjacent to the failed battery unit;
a connecting sheet, configured to connect the plurality of battery units in series, wherein the connecting sheet is provided with at least one breakage guide portion configured for guiding the connecting sheet to break and form a first part and a second part which are arranged separately, the first part is configured to be connected to the at least one unfailed battery unit, and the second part is configured to be connected to the failed battery unit; and
an electroconductive part, wherein two ends of electroconductive part are each connected to the first part of the connecting sheet which is connected to the failed battery unit and one of the at least one unfailed battery unit adjacent to the failed battery unit, so that current bypasses the failed battery unit and the battery module resumes work.
2 . The battery module according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one unfailed battery unit comprises two unfailed battery units adjacent to the failed battery unit, and the electroconductive part is configured to be connected to the first parts of the two unfailed battery units.
3 . The battery module according to claim 2 , wherein when a plurality of breakage guide portions is provided, the plurality of breakage guide portions is spaced.
4 . The battery module according to claim 2 , wherein the breakage guide portion comprises a bending portion.
5 . The battery module according to claim 2 , wherein the breakage guide portion comprises a weak portion.
6 . The battery module according to claim 1 , wherein when a plurality of breakage guide portions is provided, the plurality of breakage guide portions is spaced.
7 . The battery module according to claim 1 , wherein the breakage guide portion comprises a bending portion.
8 . The battery module according to claim 7 , wherein the bending portion is bent relative to the connecting sheet.
9 . The battery module according to claim 1 , wherein the breakage guide portion comprises a weak portion.
10 . The battery module according to claim 9 , wherein the weak portion is recessed relative to the connecting sheet.
11 . The battery module according to claim 10 , wherein the weak portion comprises a connecting portion, and the connecting portion is recessed relative to the connecting sheet along a height direction of the battery unit; and
the connecting portion is configured to be disconnected from the connecting sheet.
12 . A battery pack, comprising:
a battery module, comprising:
a plurality of battery units for series connection, wherein after the battery module fails, the plurality of battery units comprise a failed battery unit and at least one unfailed battery unit adjacent to the failed battery unit;
a connecting sheet, used to connect the plurality of battery units in series, wherein the connecting sheet is provided with at least one breakage guide portion for guiding the connecting sheet to break and form a first part and a second part which are arranged separately, the first part is used to be connected to the at least one unfailed battery unit, and the second part is used to be connected to the failed battery unit; and
an electroconductive part, wherein two ends of electroconductive part are each connected to the first part of the connecting sheet which is connected to the failed battery unit and one of the at least one unfailed battery unit adjacent to the failed battery unit, so that current bypasses the failed battery unit and the battery module resumes work; and
a box body, configured to accommodate the battery module.
13 . A device, comprising: the battery pack according to claim 12 , wherein the battery pack is configured to provide electric energy.
