The following further describes in detail the battery box in this application with reference to comparative examples, embodiments, and corresponding test results.

1. Test on the coefficient of thermal conductivity:

(1) Conduct a test on the coefficient of thermal conductivity in accordance with ASTM D5470 by using a test device Hot disk 2550s; set test parameters according to a test method of the device and set an interval of continuous tests to 5 min.

(2) Sample preparation: During sample preparation, confirm that percentages of components A and B are correct (without color difference). During adhesive mixing, use an adhesive gun and a static dispensing head to apply the adhesive to avoid residual bubbles, or mix the adhesive manually and then use a vacuum machine to perform mixing and vacuum for 2 min. Pour the adhesive into a hard-block fabrication fixture, and make the adhesive flow as evenly as possible, where a diameter or a side length of a test block is no less than 36 mm, and a thickness is no less than 6 mm.

(3) Curing condition: Bake the sample in an oven (a specific curing temperature and duration is subject to MS), take the sample out and place the sample at a room temperature for more than two hours, and then start testing.

(4) Test requirements: Use hot disk 2550s to test five parallel samples and obtain an intermediate value.

2. Test on the coefficient of thermal expansion:

(1) Prepare a sample in accordance with GB/T 1036, and use a caliper to measure two state-adjusted samples at an accuracy of up to 0.02 mm.

(2) Adhere an iron sheet to a bottom of the sample to prevent shrinking and measure a length of the sample again.

(3) Use a same dilatometer for each sample, and carefully place the samples in an environment (−32° C. to −28° C.); if a liquid bath is used, make sure that the sample is at least 50 mm below a liquid level. Keep a temperature of the liquid bath at −32° C. to −28° C.; wait until a temperature of the sample is identical to the temperature of the constant-temperature bath and readings of the measuring instrument remain stable for 5 min; and record the temperature and reading.

(4) Carefully put a quartz dilatometer in an environment of +30° C., not to cause vibration. If the liquid bath is used, make sure that the sample is at least 50 mm below the liquid level; keep the liquid bath at a temperature 28° C. to 32° C. of the constant-temperature bath; wait until a temperature of the sample is identical to the temperature of the constant-temperature bath and readings of the measuring instrument remain stable; and record data.

(5) Obtain a result through division of the data.

3. Test on a shear strength of an adhesive:

(1) Size: Prepare a shear sample in accordance with GB/T 7124; use a fixture to accurately position a bonded assembly, use a Teflon tape to limit an adhesive application width, and control a bonding surface length within 12.5±0.5 mm. Unless otherwise specified, a thickness of an adhesive layer is designed to be 0.25±0.05 mm, which can be controlled by inserting an interval lead. The lead is parallel to a force applying direction.

(2) Substrate: The sample may be a substrate of electrophoretic steel, 3003 aluminum (A1), 6063 A1, PET blue film, or the like. A surface of a bonded object shall be free of pollutants such as oil. If there is any pollutant, the pollutant needs to be cleared before bonding. Surface energy of the blue film is required to be 28 dyn to 32 dyn, and surface energy of an aluminum substrate is required to be 30 dyn to 34 dyn. Surfaces of A1 substrates are not specially processed (an aluminum sheet with a coating for oxidation resistance needs to be exposed to air for more than three days before use). A PET blue film is wrapped on an A1 sheet with no air bubble allowed.

(3) Requirements on adhesive mixing: During sample preparation, confirm that percentages of components A and B are correct (without color difference). During adhesive mixing, use an adhesive gun and a static dispensing head to apply the adhesive to avoid residual bubbles, or mix the adhesive manually and then use a vacuum machine to perform mixing and vacuum for 2 min before making a sample.

(4) Preparation process: Bond the sample within a specified operation time. It should be noted that overflowing adhesives need to be removed. Bake the bonded sample in an oven (a specific curing temperature and duration is subject to MS), take the sample out and place the sample at a room temperature for more than two hours, and then start testing.

(5) Test requirements: Use a tensile test machine to conduct testing at a constant test speed of 5 mm/min. To make a force applying direction of the sample parallel to a bonded surface, place a spacer as thick as the sample separately at upper and lower test chucks. If a test on tensile pull displacement needs to be conducted, use an extensometer for measurement.

4. Maximum temperature of a battery:

Dispose a temperature sensor on a top cover of a battery to monitor a temperature of the battery in real time and read data during operation of the battery.

It should be noted that based on an actual requirement, a shear strength needs to be defined to be ≥8 MPa, and the maximum temperature of the battery to be ≤50° C.

It can be learned from the embodiments in this application and the test results shown in Table 1 that in the battery box in this application, the battery case and the plurality of batteries accommodated in the battery case are bonded by using the adhesive, and the adhesive contains the substrate and filler. A large coefficient of thermal conductivity of the adhesive indicates a high content of the filler in the adhesive and correspondingly a low content of the substrate. In this case, although heat conduction performance is good, the adhesive cracks or peels under heat stress due to alternating temperatures during use of the battery box. A large coefficient of thermal expansion of the adhesive indicates a high content of the substrate in the adhesive and correspondingly a low content of the filler. In this case, although thermal expansion performance is good, heat conduction requirements of the battery box can hardly be met. In the battery box in this application, when the coefficient of thermal conductivity of the adhesive matches the coefficient of thermal expansion, heat conduction requirements of the battery box can be satisfied, and the adhesive can also be prevented from cracking or peeling off under heat stress due to alternating temperatures during use of the battery box, thereby improving safety performance of the battery box.

The apparatus may be an apparatus that uses a battery box, for example, a vehicle (in particular, an electric vehicle), a steamer, or an aircraft, and the battery box supplies electric energy to the apparatus.

Based on the disclosure and instructions in the specification, a person skilled in the art may further make appropriate modifications and changes to the foregoing implementations. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific implementations disclosed and described above. Some changes and modifications to this application shall also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this application.
