Abstract

Embodiments of the present application provide a battery, a power consumption device, a method and a device for producing the battery. The battery includes: a battery cell, including a pressure relief mechanism, wherein the pressure relief mechanism is disposed on a first wall of the battery cell; a thermal management component, wherein a first surface of the thermal management component is attached to the first wall, and the thermal management component is provided with a pressure relief hole opposite to the pressure relief mechanism; and a baffle configured to cover a part of the pressure relief hole, so that when the pressure relief mechanism is actuated, a discharge direction of the emissions entering the pressure relief hole is changed. The battery, the power consumption device, the method and the device for producing the battery provided in the embodiments of the present application can enhance safety of batteries.

Claims (35)

1. A battery, comprising:

a battery cell comprising a pressure relief mechanism; and

a baffle corresponding to the pressure relief mechanism, so that when the pressure relief mechanism is actuated, a discharge direction of emissions discharged from the battery cell is changed;

wherein the pressure relief mechanism is disposed on a first wall of the battery cell,

the battery further comprises:

a first component disposed opposite to the first wall, when the pressure relief mechanism is actuated, emissions discharged from the battery cell can pass through the first component to be discharged;

wherein the first component is a thermal management component, the thermal management component is configured to accommodate a fluid to adjust a temperature of the battery cell;

wherein the thermal management component is configured to be capable of being damaged, when the pressure relief mechanism is actuated, by the emissions whose discharge direction has been changed, so that the fluid is discharged from an interior of the thermal management component.

2. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the first component is attached to the first wall.

3. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein a maximum distance between the baffle and the first wall is greater than a minimum distance from the first surface to the first wall.

4. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the first component is provided with a pressure relief hole opposite to the pressure relief mechanism, so that when the pressure relief mechanism is actuated, emissions discharged from the battery cell can pass through the first component by the pressure relief hole to be discharged.

5. The battery according to claim 4 , wherein the baffle is configured to cover a part of the pressure relief hole, so that when the pressure relief mechanism is actuated, the discharge direction of the emissions entering the pressure relief hole is changed.

6. The battery according to claim 4 , wherein the baffle is inclined with respect to an axis of the pressure relief hole, and the baffle gradually approaches the axis of the pressure relief hole along a direction away from the first wall, so that when the pressure relief mechanism is actuated, the emissions can impact toward a hole wall of the pressure relief hole.

7. The battery according to claim 6 , wherein a value of an angle between the baffle and the axis of the pressure relief hole ranges from 20° to 40°.

8. The battery according to claim 4 , wherein the pressure relief hole is surrounded by two baffles arranged opposite to each other.

9. The battery according to claim 4 , wherein a ratio of an area of the baffle covering the pressure relief hole to an area of the pressure relief hole is not less than 0.5 and not more than 0.8.

10. The battery according to claim 4 , wherein the baffle is disposed on a second surface of the first component, and the second surface is opposite to the first surface or the second surface is a hole wall of the pressure relief hole.

11. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the battery further comprises:

an electrical chamber configured to accommodate a plurality of battery cells;

a collection chamber configured to collect the emissions discharged from the battery cell when the pressure relief mechanism is actuated;

wherein the first component is configured to isolate the electrical chamber from the collection chamber.

12. The battery according to claim 11 , wherein the battery further comprises:

a protective member, the protective member is configured to protect the first component, and the protective member and the first component form the collection chamber.

13. The battery according to claim 12 , wherein the protective member comprises a bottom wall and a plurality of side walls to form a hollow structure with an opening at one end, and the first component covers the opening to form the collection chamber.

14. The battery according to claim 13 , wherein an end of the baffle away from the first wall abuts against the bottom wall of the protective member.

15. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the thermal management component is provided with a temperature-sensitive material, the temperature-sensitive material is configured to be melted by the emissions when the pressure relief mechanism is actuated, so that the fluid is discharged from the interior of the thermal management component.

16. The battery according to claim 15 , wherein the temperature-sensitive material is disposed on an area of the thermal management component facing the emissions from the battery cell.

17. A power consumption device, comprising: a battery, and the battery being configured to supply electrical energy to the power consumption device, the battery comprising:

a battery cell comprising a pressure relief mechanism; and

a baffle corresponding to the pressure relief mechanism, so that when the pressure relief mechanism is actuated, a discharge direction of emissions discharged from the battery cell is changed;

wherein the pressure relief mechanism is disposed on a first wall of the battery cell,

the battery further comprises:

a first component disposed opposite to the first wall, when the pressure relief mechanism is actuated, emissions discharged from the battery cell can pass through the first component to be discharged;

wherein the first component is a thermal management component, the thermal management component is configured to accommodate a fluid to adjust a temperature of the battery cell;
