[0003] The battery includes a shell and a top cover arranged on the top of the shell. As an accessory of the lithium-ion battery, the top cover has two functions. First, it isolates the electrode group from the external environment by welding with the shell, thereby playing a sealing role; second, it connects the internal and external circuits, and transmits the internal current of the battery to the outside through the pole of the top cover, thereby playing a guiding role.

[0004] The traditional battery top cover includes a cover plate (plain aluminum sheet), a positive riveted block, a negative riveted block, a positive electrode post, a negative electrode post, a positive upper plastic, a positive lower plastic, a negative upper plastic, a negative lower plastic, a sealing ring, an explosion-proof valve, an explosion-proof valve protective film and other components. The positive electrode post is fixed by the positive riveted block, and the negative electrode post is fixed by the negative riveted block. In this solution, the battery top cover has many structural parts, large mass, cumbersome assembly procedures, and high costs, which is not conducive to reducing the weight and cost of the battery. In addition, this riveted structure also leads to a large distance from the upper surface of the plain aluminum sheet to the upper surface of the riveted block, which is at least 3.2 mm, and the electrode is relatively high, which is not conducive to improving the battery volume and mass energy density.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] Combine the following Figures 1 to 11 , describing an embodiment of the present invention.

[0042] According to an embodiment of the present invention, on one hand, a battery top cover is provided, comprising a cover plate 1, a pole assembly 3 and a lower plastic 2, wherein a first mounting hole 11 is provided on the cover plate 1, and a second mounting hole 21 is provided on the lower plastic 2, wherein the first mounting hole 11 and the second mounting hole 21 are arranged correspondingly, and the pole assembly 3 is arranged in the first mounting hole 11, and the lower end of the pole assembly 3 extends into the second mounting hole 21; the pole assembly 3 comprises a support ring 31 and a pole 32. The support ring 31 is fixedly arranged in the first mounting hole 11; the pole 32 comprises a base 320, and a first boss 321 is provided on a first end surface of the base 320, and the diameter of the first boss 321 is smaller than the diameter of the base 320; the base 320 is arranged in the support ring 31, and the upper surface of the base 320 is flush with the upper surface of the support ring 31, and the thickness of the pole 32 along the axial direction is greater than the thickness of the support ring 31.

[0043] The battery top cover provided in this embodiment comprises a pole 32 which is connected to a support ring 31 to form a pole assembly 3, which is assembled in the first mounting hole 11 of the cover plate 1 and the second mounting hole 21 of the lower plastic 2, thereby eliminating the positive pole riveting block and the negative pole riveting block, reducing the number of parts, reducing the weight of the entire cover plate 1, reducing the cost of parts, and reducing the number of assembly steps; at the same time, since the positive pole riveting block and the negative pole riveting block are eliminated, the height of the pole 32 is reduced, and the space occupied becomes smaller, which is beneficial to improving the energy density of the battery.

[0044] Reference Figures 1 to 3 , the thickness of the support ring 31 is H1≥0.5mm, H2≥0.5mm, so that the support ring 31 is easy to assemble with the cover plate 1, the lower plastic 2 and the pole 32, and at the same time, the support ring 31 can provide support and facilitate welding. The thickness of the base 320 of the pole 32 is H3, H3≥1.5mm. After the pole 32 and the support ring 31 are assembled, the first end face of the pole 32 is flush with the first end face of the support ring 31 by means of the assembly tool, that is, Figure 3 In the illustrated position, the upper surface of the base 320 of the pole 32 is flush with the upper surface of the support ring 31. The second end surface of the base 320 of the pole 32 protrudes from the second end surface of the support ring 31, that is, Figure 3 In the embodiment, the lower end surface of the pole 32 protrudes from the lower end surface of the support ring 31 , and the base 320 of the pole 32 of the protruding portion is used to be installed in the first installation hole 11 of the cover plate 1 .

Specifically, the support ring 31 and the pole 32 can be welded or threaded. When welding is used, the support ring 31 is an insulating weldable material. When threaded connection is used, the support ring 31 is an insulating material.

[0046] After the pole assembly 3 is assembled with the cover plate 1, there are two assembly methods according to the thickness of the support ring 31: when the first end surface of the support ring 31 is flush with the first end surface of the cover plate 1, the support ring 31 and the cover plate 1 are assembled by butt welding. When the first end surface of the support ring 31 is higher than the first end surface of the cover plate 1, the support ring 31 and the cover plate 1 are assembled by fillet welding.

[0048] The height of the first boss 321 above the first end face of the base 320 is set to be greater than 0.2 mm. When the base 320 of the pole 32 and the cover plate 1 are welded, the first end face of the first boss 321 can be higher than the height of the weld between the pole 32 and the cover plate 1, which is beneficial for welding the conductive bar and the pole 32 when the battery is grouped, and is not affected by the height of the weld between the pole 32 and the cover plate 1, ensuring that the conductive bar and the pole 32 are firmly welded. The radius of the base 320 is at least 0.5 mm larger than the radius of the first convex edge 311, which is convenient for welding and assembly.

[0049] Reference Figures 4 to 10 In one embodiment, the thickness of the base 320 of the pole 32 is A2, A2 ≥ 0.5 mm. The distance between the first end face of the first convex edge 311 and the first end face of the support ring body 310 is C4, C4 = A2, that is, the thickness of the base 320 is equal to the depth of the first groove. In this way, the first end face of the base 320 is flush with the first end face of the support ring 31, and the base 320 and the support ring 31 can be connected by threads or by full circumferential seam welding.

[0050] In one embodiment, the support ring 31 includes an annular support ring body 310, the inner wall of the support ring body 310 is provided with a first flange 311 extending radially, a first groove is formed between the first axial end surface of the first flange 311 and the support ring body 310, and the base 320 is arranged in the first groove.

[0051] By setting a first protrusion 311 on the inner wall of the support ring body 310, a first groove is formed between the first protrusion 311 and the support ring body 310, and the base 320 of the pole 32 is embedded in the first groove to form a limit between the support ring 31 and the pole 32, thereby improving the positioning accuracy between the support ring 31 and the pole 32.

[0052] In one embodiment, the pole 32 includes a second boss 322 provided on the second end face of the base 320, the radius of the second boss 322 is smaller than the radius of the base 320, the difference between the radius of the second boss 322 and the radius of the base 320 is B2, B2 ≥ 0.5 mm; the diameter of the second boss 322 is equal to the inner diameter of the first flange 311, the thickness of the second boss 322 is equal to the thickness of the first flange 311, and the thickness of the second boss 322 is A3, A3 ≥ 0.5 mm.

[0053] In this way, when the base 320 is arranged in the first groove, the side wall of the second boss 322 is connected to the side wall of the first flange 311, and the end face of the second boss 322 is flush with the second end face of the first flange 311, and the side wall of the second boss 322 and the side wall of the first flange 311 can be connected by threads or by full-circle seam welding.

[0054] Specifically, the thickness of the first protruding edge 311 is C3=A3; the width of the first protruding edge 311 extending in the radial direction is C2, and C2=B2.

[0055] The axial thickness of the support ring body 310 is H1, H1 ≥ 0.5 mm. This arrangement facilitates the assembly and welding of the support ring 31.

[0056] The support ring 31 and the cover plate 1 , the support ring body 310 and the base 320 , and the first protrusion 311 and the second boss 322 are threadedly connected or welded.

[0058] In this way, a sealing ring 4 can be arranged in the third groove, and the first end surface of the sealing ring 4 abuts against the end surfaces of the first convex edge 311 and the second boss 322, and the second end surface of the sealing ring 4 abuts against the cover plate 1 and the lower plastic 2 to play a sealing role.

[0059] In one embodiment, the first mounting hole 11 is a stepped hole, and the first mounting hole 11 includes a first hole section 111 and a second hole section 112. The inner diameter of the first hole section 111 is larger than the inner diameter of the second hole section 112, and a step surface is formed between the first hole section 111 and the second hole section 112; the support ring 31 is arranged in the first hole section 111, the side wall of the support ring 31 abuts against the inner wall of the first hole section 111, and the second end face of the support ring 31 abuts against the step surface.

[0060] In this way, the step surface between the first hole section 111 and the second hole section 112 of the first mounting hole 11 constitutes a limiting structure, which can play a limiting role for the support ring 31. The support ring 31 is arranged in the first hole section 111 of the first mounting hole 11, and the outer wall of the support ring 31 abuts against the inner wall of the first hole section 111, and the second end face of the support ring 31 abuts against the step surface, thereby improving the positioning between the support ring 31 and the cover plate 1.

[0062] In this way, in the radial direction, the third boss 323 of the pole 32, the extension 22 of the lower plastic 2 and the second hole section 112 of the cover plate 1 are abutted in sequence to form a radial limit. In the axial direction, the support ring 31, the cover plate 1 and the lower plastic 2 are abutted in sequence to form an axial limit, thereby achieving a tight connection between the components of the battery top cover.
