[0029] The following is combined with Figures 1-3 This utility model describes the battery cover plate provided.

[0030] Given that in conventional technologies, prolonged electrolyte buildup can easily lead to lithium dendrite formation at terminal 3, and the connection between the lithium dendrite and the cover plate can cause a short circuit, please refer to [link to relevant documentation] for information on the problems with existing technologies. Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a battery cover plate, including a cover plate body 1, a lower plastic 2, and an electrode post 3.

[0031] The cover plate body 1 is generally provided with a liquid injection hole and an explosion-proof valve on one side, and a lower plastic 2 on the other side. As an indispensable part of the battery, the cover plate is used to seal the end of the battery and play a role in sealing the battery installation.

[0032] The lower plastic 2 is located on one side of the cover plate body 1. The side of the lower plastic 2 away from the cover plate body 1 is provided with an installation groove 21. The pole post 3 is located in the installation groove 21. The installation groove 21 can play a role in positioning and installing the pole post 3, which facilitates the stable installation of the pole post 3.

[0033] In the technical solution provided by this utility model, at least one side wall of the mounting groove 21 is provided with a through hole 26, which communicates with the mounting groove 21. When there is electrolyte in the mounting groove 21, the electrolyte can leak out from the through hole 26 in time without accumulating in the mounting groove 21, which can effectively prevent the growth of lithium dendrites in the mounting groove 21 and thus prevent the battery from short-circuiting.

[0034] In an optional embodiment, the mounting groove 21 has a first sidewall 22 and a second sidewall 23 disposed opposite to each other along the length direction of the cover plate body 1, and at least one through hole 26 is formed on the second sidewall 23. See also... Figure 1The mounting groove 21 is rectangular, with the first sidewall 22 at the highest point and the second sidewall 23 at the lowest point. Through holes 26 are provided in the second sidewall 23 to quickly drain the electrolyte and prevent the growth of lithium dendrites. It should be noted that one or more through holes 26 can be provided in the second sidewall 23, depending on the size of the through holes 26 and the area of ​​the second sidewall 23; this invention does not impose any limitation on this.

[0035] Further, please refer to Figure 3 The mounting groove 21 has a third sidewall 24 and a fourth sidewall 25 disposed opposite to each other along the width direction of the cover plate body 1, and at least one of the third sidewall 24 or the fourth sidewall 25 is provided with a through hole 26. In addition to the second sidewall 23, the through hole 26 can also be provided on the third sidewall 24 or the fourth sidewall 25; one or more of the three can be selected for the through hole 26, and this utility model does not limit this. It should be noted that when the through hole 26 is provided on the third sidewall 24 or the fourth sidewall 25, the through hole 26 needs to be located away from the first sidewall 22, preferably close to the second sidewall 23, so that the position of the through hole 26 is low, allowing for timely discharge of electrolyte.

[0036] Furthermore, to ensure timely discharge of electrolyte, the bottom wall height of the through hole 26 is equal to the bottom wall height of the mounting tank 21. This prevents the formation of a step at the through hole 26 that could obstruct electrolyte discharge. When electrolyte accumulates in the mounting tank 21, the electrolyte can be quickly discharged through the through hole 26 because the bottom wall height of the through hole 26 is equal to that of the mounting tank 21.

[0037] To prevent the through hole 26 from being too large and affecting the strength of the mounting groove 21, in the technical solution provided by this utility model, the side length of the through hole 26 along the width direction of the cover plate body 1 is 1-4mm, that is, the width of the through hole 26 is 1-4mm; the ratio of the side length of the through hole 26 along the height direction of the cover plate body 1, that is, the height of the through hole 26, to the height of the side wall of the mounting groove 21 is 0.3-0.5. With this setting, the size of the through hole 26 is reasonable and will not affect the strength of the mounting groove 21.

[0038] Specifically, the shape of the through hole 26 can be various, such as triangular, square or circular. In other optional embodiments, the through hole 26 can also be set as irregular or polygonal, and this utility model does not limit it in this regard.

[0039] Further, please refer to Figure 2The lower plastic 2 has multiple first reinforcing ribs 27 on the side opposite to the cover plate body 1. These first reinforcing ribs 27 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the cover plate body 1, enhancing the strength of the lower plastic 2. Furthermore, the lower plastic 2 has two lower plastic sidewalls 29 arranged opposite each other along the width direction of the cover plate body 1. Two adjacent first reinforcing ribs 27 and the lower plastic sidewalls 29 enclose each other to form a mounting groove 21. When the mounting groove 21 needs to be set to other shapes, the shape of the reinforcing ribs can be adjusted; if necessary, the reinforcing ribs can be directly arranged to form the mounting groove 21. It should be noted that when multiple through holes 26 are provided on the second sidewall 23, one through hole 26 can be provided on each side of the second reinforcing rib 28.

[0040] In order to uniformly strengthen the lower plastic 2, a second reinforcing rib 28 is provided on the side of the lower plastic 2 away from the cover plate body 1. The second reinforcing rib 28 extends along the length direction of the cover plate body 1 and is arranged to intersect with the first reinforcing rib 27.

[0041] This utility model also provides a battery, including the battery cover as described above. Based on this, this utility model also provides a vehicle, including the battery as described above. Since the main utility model feature lies in the battery cover, the structure of the battery and the vehicle will not be described in detail.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
