[0057] The technical solution of the present application is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0058] Please also read Figures 1 to 12 The embodiment of the present application provides a battery top cover assembly, including: a top cover plate 10, a pole 11 and a sealing member 13. The top cover plate 10 is provided with a mounting hole 100, and a first clamping structure 101 is provided on the outer side surface of the top cover plate 10 and around the edge of the mounting hole 100; the pole 11 is installed in the mounting hole 100; the sealing member 13 is provided between the side wall of the pole 11 and the hole wall of the mounting hole 100, the outer side surface of the sealing member 13 is in contact with the inner side surface of the first clamping structure 101, and the first clamping structure 101 has a first indentation protrusion 1011 deformed toward the sealing member 13, and the first indentation protrusion 1011 is used to clamp and fix the pole 11 on the outer side surface of the sealing member 13 toward the pole 11.

[0059] Among them, the top cover plate 10 can be the outermost structural member constituting the top cover assembly. The top cover plate 10 can be a metal plate, such as a plain aluminum plate. The mounting hole 100 is a through hole structure that passes through the top cover plate 10. The first clamping structure 101 is an annular structure surrounding the edge of the mounting hole 100. The seal 13 can be a sealing ring. The seal 13 is installed between the outer side wall of the pole 11 and the hole wall of the mounting hole 100, the inner side surface of the seal 13 is close to the outer side surface of the pole 11, and the outer side surface of the seal 13 is close to the inner side surface of the first clamping structure 101. The first indentation protrusion 1011 is a bite mark structure formed by the deformation of the first clamping structure 101 toward the seal 13 and the pole 11.

[0060] In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, a first clamping structure 101 is arranged on the outer side surface of the top cover plate 10 around the edge of the mounting hole 100, and the inner side surface of the first clamping structure 101 and the outer side surface of the seal 13 are attached to each other so that the first clamping structure 101 is deformed toward the seal 13 and the pole 11 to form a first indentation protrusion 1011, and then the seal 13 is compressed by the first indentation protrusion 1011 so that the seal 13 has a compression deformation, thereby clamping and fixing the pole 11. The battery top cover assembly of the present application reduces the complexity of the assembly process during assembly, and the assembly does not require welding or injection molding processes, which can reduce energy consumption. There is no metal shavings generated that will not affect the battery performance, and rapid mass production can be achieved, reducing production costs.

[0061] In some embodiments, the first indentation protrusion 1011 may be an arc-shaped or annular bite structure extending circumferentially along the outer circumference of the first clamping structure 101. The number of the first indentation protrusion 1011 may be one or more. When the number is one, the first indentation protrusion 1011 may be an annular bite around the entire outer circumference of the first clamping structure 101. When the number is multiple, it may be a plurality of annular bites arranged up and down along the axial direction of the mounting hole 100, or it may be a plurality of spaced arc-shaped bites around the entire outer circumference of the first clamping structure 101, or both, as long as it is ensured that the first indentation protrusion 1011 can compress and fix the seal 13 and the pole 11.

[0062] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The first pressing structure 101 is an integral structure with the top cover plate 10, and the first pressing structure 101 is an annular structure protruding from the edge of the mounting hole 100 in a direction away from the top cover plate 10. The first pressing structure 101 has a first inner side surface 1012 that fits the sealing member 13 and a first outer side surface 1013 that is away from the sealing member 13, wherein the first indentation protrusion 1011 is deformed by applying pressure from the first outer side surface 1013 to the first inner side surface 1012.

[0063] It is understandable that the first clamping structure 101 can be a flange structure formed by stamping the top cover plate 10. The thickness of the first clamping structure 101 must be ensured so that it can be deformed under pressure. The first indentation protrusion 1011 is formed by the first outer side surface 1013 of the first clamping structure 101 applying pressure to the first inner side surface 1012 to deform and clamp and fix the pole 11.

[0064] In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, through the above arrangement, the first outer side surface 1013 of the first clamping structure 101 can be pressed to deform the first outer side surface 1013 toward the first inner side surface 1012 to form a first indentation protrusion 1011, and the first indentation protrusion 1011 can press the seal 13 to deform the seal 13, thereby achieving compression and fixing of the pole 11. The assembly process is simplified, no welding or injection molding process is required, energy consumption can be reduced, and no metal chips are generated during assembly, which will not affect the battery performance.

[0065] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The first clamping structure 101 and the top cover plate 10 are split structures. A connecting ring 102 extends from the end of the first clamping structure 101. The connecting ring 102 extends in a direction away from the central axis of the mounting hole 100. The connecting ring 102 is connected to the top cover plate 10. The first clamping structure 101 is an annular structure that protrudes from the edge of the mounting hole 100 in a direction away from the top cover plate 10. The first clamping structure 101 has a first inner side surface 1012 that fits the seal 13 and a first outer side surface 1013 away from the seal 13, wherein the first indentation protrusion 1011 is formed by applying pressure and deformation from the first outer side surface 1013 to the first inner side surface 1012.

[0066] When the first clamping structure 101 and the top cover plate 10 are separate structures, the first clamping structure 101 can be a separate structural member. The first clamping structure 101 and the connecting ring 102 are an integrated structure. The first clamping structure 101 and the connecting ring 102 form a welding ring for welding with the top cover plate 10 to facilitate assembly. During assembly, the first clamping structure 101 and the connecting ring 102 can be pre-pressed into a module with the seal 13 and the pole 11. The separate production of the module can achieve mass production. Fig.10 As shown, the connecting ring 102 is then welded to the top cover plate 10.

[0070] The receiving groove 112 may be formed by being concave from the side of the pole 11 toward the inside of the battery, and the receiving groove 112 may be formed by stamping and turning the pole 11. The wall thickness of the receiving groove 112 must be ensured so that it can be deformed under pressure.

[0071] In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, a second clamping structure 110 is formed by forming the groove wall of the accommodating groove 112 of the pole 11, and the second inner side surface 1103 of the second clamping structure 110 is pressed and deformed to form a second indentation protrusion 1101, and then the second indentation protrusion 1101 is used to pressurize the seal 13 toward the seal 13 so that the seal 13 is deformed, thereby sealing the inner side of the pole 11.

[0072] In some embodiments, the second indentation protrusion 1101 may be an arc-shaped or annular bite structure extending circumferentially along the inner circumference of the second clamping structure 110. The number of the second indentation protrusion 1101 may be one or more. When the number is one, the second indentation protrusion 1101 may be an annular bite around the entire inner circumference of the second clamping structure 110. When the number is multiple, it may be multiple annular bites arranged vertically along the axial direction of the pole 11, or it may be multiple spaced arc-shaped bites around the entire inner circumference of the second clamping structure 110, or it may be both.
