[0030] To make the technical problems solved by the present invention, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved more clearly, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "connected," "connect," and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection or electrical connection; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; internal communication between two components or interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the utility model provides a cover plate assembly, including a cover plate 1, a pole 2 and a connecting piece 3, the pole 2 is installed on the cover plate 1, the connecting piece 3 includes a pole connecting portion 31 and a pole ear connecting portion 32 connected at an angle, the pole connecting portion 31 is connected to the pole 2, a first insulating member 4 is arranged between the pole connecting portion 31 and the cover plate 1, the first insulating member 4 is provided with a hook portion 41, the pole connecting portion 31 is clamped with the hook portion 41, and an anti-crack notch 33 is provided at a position of the pole connecting portion 31 adjacent to the pole ear connecting portion 32.

[0033] It can be understood that the cover plate 1, the first insulating member 4 and the connecting piece 3 are arranged from top to bottom, the pole 2 is passed through the cover plate 1 and the first insulating member 4 and welded to the pole connecting portion 31 of the connecting piece 3. Before welding, the pole connecting portion 31 can be pre-fixed by being clamped to the edge of the first insulating member 4 by the hook portion 41 to reduce the difficulty of welding the pole 2 and the pole connecting portion 31. Moreover, after welding, the hook portion 41 can also play the role of limiting and supporting the connecting piece 3 to prevent the connecting piece 3 from moving in the vertical direction under the action of external force, thereby improving the impact and vibration resistance of the connecting piece 3 and making the connecting piece 3 less likely to deform; and by providing an anti-crack notch 33 at the connection between the pole connecting portion 31 and the pole lug connecting portion 32, it is beneficial to release the stress at the connection between the pole connecting portion 31 and the pole lug connecting portion 32, avoiding stress concentration at the connection, thereby improving the tear resistance of the connection and reducing the risk of breakage at the connection due to external force.

[0034] The number of the hook portions 41 may be one or more, and the number of the hook portions 41 is not specifically limited herein.

[0035] Since the anti-crack notch 33 is provided, it provides space for the tab connection portion 32 to deform or shake, making it easy for the tab connection portion 32 to deform or shake significantly toward the anti-crack notch 33 under the action of external force, causing the tab connection portion 32 to break. Based on this, the first insulating member 4 is further provided with a limiting portion 42 that matches the outer contour of the anti-crack notch 33, and the limiting portion 42 is inserted into the anti-crack notch 33. When the pole connection portion 31 is installed on the first insulating member 4, the limiting portion 42 can be inserted into the anti-crack notch 33 to block and limit the tab connection portion 32, reduce the deformation of the tab connection portion 32, and make the tab connection portion 32 less likely to deform, which can further reduce the risk of deformation and fracture of the connecting piece 3.

[0036] The crack prevention notch 33 may be a V-shaped notch, a U-shaped notch, a rectangular notch, an arc-shaped notch, or any other irregularly shaped notch. In this embodiment, the crack prevention notch 33 is a V-shaped notch. The V-shaped notch can increase the curvature radius of the connection between the tab connection portion 32 and the pole connection portion 31, thereby effectively releasing stress accumulation during impact vibration.

[0037] Specifically, the gap between the limiting portion 42 and the anti-crack notch 33 is set, so that the tab connection portion 32 has a certain deformation space. It is understandable that if the deformation of the tab connection portion 32 is large, it will easily break. If the movement of the tab connection portion 32 is completely restricted, it will cause stress concentration at the connection between the pole connection portion 31 and the tab connection portion 32, causing the connecting piece 3 to be too rigid, which may also cause the connecting piece 3 to break. Through this design, space can be reserved for the tab connection portion 32 to provide elastic deformation to release stress, and the limiting portion 42 can block and limit the tab connection portion 32 to prevent the tab connection portion 32 from being excessively deformed and breaking.

[0038] If the gap between the limiting portion 42 and the anti-crack notch 33 is too small, the tab connection portion 32 may have insufficient deformation space, resulting in excessive rigidity of the connecting piece 3. If the gap between the limiting portion 42 and the anti-crack notch 33 is too large, the tab connection portion 32 may be excessively deformed and break. Preferably, the gap between the limiting portion 42 and the sidewall of the anti-crack notch 33 is greater than 0.1 mm. Optionally, the gap between the limiting portion 42 and the sidewall of the anti-crack notch 33 is 0.1 mm, 0.15 mm, 0.2 mm, 0.25 mm, 0.3 mm, etc.

[0039] Optionally, an elastic gasket (not shown in the figure) is provided in the gap between the limiting portion 42 and the anti-crack notch 33 to elastically abut the tab connection portion 32 against the limiting portion 42, thereby buffering the bursting of the tab connection portion 32 and making the connecting piece 3 less likely to break.

[0040] Furthermore, a limiting groove 43 is recessed on the side of the first insulating member 4 facing away from the cover plate 1. A hook portion 41 is provided on the wall of the limiting groove 43, adjacent to the notch. The pole connecting portion 31 is disposed within the limiting groove 43 and engages with the hook portion 41 to prevent the pole connecting portion 31 from falling out. This design accommodates the pole connecting portion 31 by accommodating the limiting groove 43 to limit its circumferential rotation along the pole 2. Simultaneously, the hook portion 41 limits its vertical movement, thereby jointly limiting the connecting piece 3 and making the connecting piece 3 more stable and reliable.

[0041] Specifically, in order to facilitate the installation of the pole connecting portion 31 in the limiting groove 43 and the clamping connection to the hook portion 41, the distance between the abutting surface of the hook portion 41 facing the lower side of the first insulating member 4 and the lower side of the first insulating member 4 is L, and the thickness of the pole connecting portion 31 is H, where L is greater than H.

[0042] When LH is too large, the volume of the first insulating member 4 will increase, thereby increasing the space occupied by the battery housing. When LH is too small, the difficulty of installing the connecting piece 3 and the first insulating member 4 will increase. Preferably, LH>0.1mm. Optionally, LH is 0.1mm, 0.15mm, 0.2mm, 0.25mm, 0.3mm, etc.

[0043] Specifically, a limiting portion 42 is provided on the wall of the limiting groove 43 adjacent to the groove opening, and the limiting portion 42 is inserted into the anti-crack notch 33. The limiting portion 42 cooperates with the anti-crack notch 33 to not only prevent the connecting piece 3 from deformation and fracture, but also to position the connecting piece 3 and the first insulating member 4, thereby positioning them for installation.

[0044] Preferably, the cross-sectional dimension of the limiting groove 43 is larger than the cross-sectional dimension of the pole connecting portion 31 , so that the pole connecting portion 31 is loosely fitted with the limiting groove 43 , facilitating installation of the pole connecting portion 31 in the limiting groove 43 .

[0045] Specifically, the pole connecting portion 31 is provided with a pole hole, the first insulating member 4 is provided with a first opening, the cover plate 1 is provided with a second opening, one end of the pole 2 passes through the first opening and the second opening, is inserted into the pole hole and welded to the pole hole, and the tab connecting portion 32 is connected to the edge area of ​​the tab connecting portion 32 on the side away from the pole hole to increase the distance between the tab connecting portion 32 and the pole hole, so as to reduce the impact torque borne by the connection between the pole connecting portion 31 and the tab connecting portion 32, and further improve the impact resistance and vibration resistance of the connection.

[0046] Optionally, one of the first insulating member 4 and the pole connecting portion 31 is provided with a positioning hole 5, and the other of the first insulating member 4 and the pole connecting portion 31 is provided with a positioning post 6, which is inserted into the positioning hole 5. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5 A positioning post 6 protrudes from the bottom of the limiting groove 43. A positioning hole 5 is formed in the terminal connecting portion 31. The positioning post 6 engages with the positioning hole 5 to position and install the tab connecting portion 32, ensuring that the terminal hole in the tab connecting portion 32 is aligned with the first opening and the second opening. In addition, the engagement of the positioning post 6 with the positioning hole 5 can also limit the horizontal movement of the connecting piece 3, which helps to improve the impact and vibration resistance of the connecting piece 3.

[0047] Optionally, the cover plate 1 is provided with a first groove, and the first insulating member 4 is provided with a first protrusion 45, and the first groove and the first protrusion 45 are plugged together to limit relative twisting of the first insulating member 4 and the cover plate 1. Of course, in other embodiments, the cover plate 1 may also be provided with a protrusion, and the first insulating member 4 may be provided with a groove, so as to achieve plug-in fit between the protrusion and the groove.

[0048] Preferably, the connecting piece 3 can be integrally bent from a plate to form the pole connecting portion 31 and the tab connecting portion 32 , so as to improve the overall strength of the connecting piece 3 .

[0049] Optionally, a transition portion 34 is provided between the tab connection portion 32 and the pole connection portion 31, and the length of the tab connection portion 32 along the first direction (the x-direction in the figure) is greater than the length of the transition portion 34 along the first direction. This design can increase the area of ​​the tab connection portion 32 used for connection with the tab connection portion 32, thereby increasing the welding area between the tab connection portion 32 and the tab, which is beneficial for improving the welding effect between the tab connection portion 32 and the tab and improving the connection stability between the tab connection portion 32 and the tab. In addition, the length of the transition portion 34 along the first direction is relatively small, that is, the connection area between the transition portion 34 and the pole connection portion 31 is relatively small, making it easier for the transition portion 34 to elastically deform under the action of external force to release stress, thereby avoiding stress concentration at the bend of the connecting piece 3.

[0050] Exemplarily, the tab connection portion 32 is provided with an extension portion 322 protruding along the first direction and away from the side of the terminal hole, wherein the first direction is the same as the direction in which the tab extends out of the battery cell. It is understandable that since the terminal connection portion 31 is installed in the limiting groove 43 of the first insulating member 4, if the tab connection portion 32 protrudes from the limiting groove 43 away from the slot wall of the terminal hole, it will cause the tab connection portion 32 to interfere with the slot wall of the limiting groove 43. However, by providing the extension portion 322, the tab connection portion 32 can be widened in the direction of the tab extension, so that the length of the tab connection portion 32 in the first direction is greater than the length of the transition portion 34 in the first direction, thereby increasing the welding area of ​​the tab connection portion 32. At the same time, a notch can be formed in the transition portion 34 of the connecting piece 3, through which the first insulating member 4 can be avoided, thereby spacing the tab connection portion 32 below the limiting groove 43, so that the widened tab connection portion 32 can be smoothly connected to the tab.

[0051] Preferably, the limiting groove 43 has an outer groove wall along the first direction and relatively far away from the pole hole, and the side of the extension portion 322 along the first direction and away from the pole hole is flush with the outer groove wall. If the length of the extension portion 322 along the first direction is too large, the space occupied by the connecting piece 3 inside the battery shell will be increased, reducing the energy density of the battery. If the length of the extension portion 322 along the first direction is too small, the welding effect between the pole connecting portion 31 and the tab will be reduced. This design improves the space utilization inside the battery shell by widening the extension portion 322 by utilizing the space below the outer groove wall inside the original battery shell. There is no need to widen the connecting piece 3 by reducing the size of the battery cell. Therefore, the welding effect between the connecting piece 3 and the tab can be improved without affecting the battery density.

[0052] Optionally, the tab connection portion 32 includes a first side surface 323 and a second side surface 324 that are opposite to each other along a first direction. The tab connection portion 32 is provided with a slot 325 that passes through the first side surface 323 and the second side surface 324. The slot 325 is used to be plugged into and mated with the tab. With this design, the tab can be pre-fixed by inserting it into the slot 325 and then welded to it. This allows the two side surfaces of the slot 325 along the second direction (the y direction in the figure) to abut and weld to the two side surfaces of the tab along the second direction, thereby further increasing the connection area between the tab connection portion 32 and the tab, improving the welding effect between the tab connection portion 32 and the tab, and making the connection more stable.

[0053] Preferably, refer to Figure 6 The width of the transition portion 34 gradually increases from the end near the pole connection portion 31 toward the end near the tab connection portion 32. This design allows the stress at the bend of the connecting piece 3 to gradually change through the transition portion 34 and be transferred to the tab connection portion 32, thus preventing damage caused by sudden stress changes.

[0054] Optionally, refer to Figure 7 A thinned portion 321 is provided on the tab connection portion 32 adjacent to the post connection portion 31. The cross-sectional dimension of the thinned portion 321 along the second direction is smaller than the cross-sectional dimension of the portion of the tab connection portion 32 excluding the thinned portion 321. In this embodiment, the thickness of the thinned portion 321 is smaller than that of the tab connection portion 32. When the connecting piece 3 is subjected to an external force, the thinner thinned portion 321 is more likely to deform flexibly, thereby preventing the connecting piece 3 from breaking due to excessive external force. At the same time, the thinned portion 321 has a higher resistance and can serve as a fuse structure to provide overcurrent protection, preventing thermal runaway of the battery.

[0055] Specifically, the first insulating member 4 can be a plastic part integrally formed by injection molding. A demolding hole 44 is provided at the position of the first insulating member 4 corresponding to the hook portion 41. It is understood that inserts are used during injection molding to facilitate molding. Inserts are irregular mold accessories that are embedded in the mold to fill the space between the templates. During injection molding, a demolding hole 44 is formed so that the insert can be inserted into the demolding hole 44. That is, the insert portion can fill the interior of the mold to facilitate molding of the hook portion 41, while the insert portion is located outside the mold. After the injection molding is completed, the insert can be quickly pulled out of the demolding hole 44 for easy demolding.

[0056] Specifically, the cover plate assembly also includes a second insulating member 7, which is arranged on a side of the cover plate 1 facing away from the first insulating member 4. A fixing block 8 is also provided on the side of the second insulating member 7 facing away from the cover plate 1. The second insulating member 7 is provided with a third opening, and the fixing block 8 is provided with a rivet hole. The end of the pole 2 away from the connecting plate 3 passes through the first opening, the second opening, and the third opening in sequence and is riveted to the rivet hole.

[0057] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 The second insulating member 7 is provided with a second protrusion 71, and the fixing block 8 is provided with a second groove. The second groove is plugged into and matched with the second protrusion 71 to limit the relative torsion between the second insulating member 7 and the fixing block 8, thereby improving the stability of the pole 2.

[0058] Furthermore, the cover plate 1 is provided with a third protrusion 11 , and the second insulating member 7 is provided with a third groove. The third groove is plugged into and fits with the third protrusion 11 to limit relative torsion between the second insulating member 7 and the cover plate 1 , thereby further improving the stability of the pole 2 .

[0059] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4The cover assembly also includes a sealing ring 9, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the pole 2 and fills the gap between the third opening and the pole 2 and between the bottom surface of the cover 1 and the boss on the outer periphery of the pole 2 to ensure the sealing performance of the cover assembly.

[0060] The present invention further provides a battery, comprising a housing having an opening, a battery cell mounted within the housing, and a cover assembly as described in any of the above embodiments, wherein the cover assembly covers the opening and is connected to the tabs of the battery cell via the tab connection portion 32 of the connecting piece 3. By using the cover assembly as described in any of the above embodiments, the battery of the present invention is less likely to fail due to deformation or fracture of the connecting piece 3, resulting in improved battery performance and a longer service life.
