[0054] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0055] The cover plate assembly 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0056] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the cover plate assembly 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a cover plate body 10 and a sealing cover 30.

[0057] The cover plate body 10 is provided with an injection hole 11. Electrolyte is injected into the cover plate body 10 through the injection hole 11 for the charging and discharging consumption of the battery cell 1.

[0058] The sealing cap 30 is placed on the liquid injection hole 11 to seal the liquid injection hole 11, preventing dust and other substances from entering the battery cell 1 from the liquid injection hole 11. At the same time, it can also prevent the liquid injection hole 11 from leaking out, improving the appearance of the battery cell 1.

[0059] A sealing groove 12 is defined between the sealing cap 30 and the cover plate body 10. The sealing groove 12 has a blocking protrusion 13 on the side facing the injection hole 11. The blocking protrusion 13 separates the sealing groove 12 and the injection hole 11. An adhesive layer 41 for adhesively bonding the sealing cap 30 is provided in the sealing groove 12. The adhesive layer 41 adhesively bonds the sealing cap 30 and the cover plate body 10 together to fix the sealing cap 30 on the cover plate body 10 so that the sealing cap 30 can cover the injection hole 11.

[0060] Specifically, the blocking protrusion 13 can separate the sealing groove 12 and the injection hole 11 to prevent the adhesive from overflowing into the injection hole 11 and to prevent the electrolyte at the injection hole 11 from flowing into the sealing groove 12. This reduces the probability of the electrolyte affecting the adhesive layer 41, ensuring the adhesiveness of the adhesive layer 41. The adhesive layer 41 can firmly connect the sealing cap 30 and the cover plate body 10 together and form a sealed sealing groove 12, thereby using the sealing cap 30 to seal the injection hole 11.

[0061] Compared to the prior art where the sealing cap 30 is welded and fixed to the cover plate body 10, this invention simplifies the process of fixing the sealing cap 30 to the cover plate body 10 by adhesive bonding. Furthermore, the blocking protrusion 13 separates the adhesive layer 41 and the injection hole 11, preventing adhesive from overflowing into the injection hole 11 and reducing the probability of electrolyte affecting the adhesive layer 41. This ensures the adhesiveness of the adhesive layer 41, allowing it to firmly connect the sealing cap 30 and the cover plate body 10 together, forming a sealed sealing groove 12. This, in turn, facilitates improved product yield of the battery cell 1 and reduces the scrap rate.

[0062] Therefore, according to the cover plate assembly 1000 of the present invention, the process of fixing the sealing cover 30 to the cover plate body 10 by adhesively fixing the sealing cover 30 to the cover plate body 10 is simpler. The blocking protrusion 13 separates the adhesive layer 41 and the injection hole 11, preventing the adhesive from overflowing into the injection hole 11. At the same time, it can reduce the probability of the electrolyte affecting the adhesive layer 41, so as to ensure the adhesiveness of the adhesive layer 41. The adhesive layer 41 can firmly connect the sealing cover 30 and the cover plate body 10 together, thereby facilitating the improvement of the product yield of the battery cell 1 and reducing the scrap rate.

[0063] The cover plate assembly 1000 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0064] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the cover assembly 1000 includes a cover body 10 and a sealing cover 30.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the blocking protrusion 13 protrudes from a portion of the cover plate body 10 toward the sealing cover 30. The blocking protrusion 13 is arranged around the injection hole 11 to fully separate the injection hole 11 and the sealing groove 12, thereby reducing the possibility of electrolyte entering the sealing groove 12. This facilitates reducing the probability of electrolyte affecting the adhesive layer 41, ensuring the adhesiveness of the adhesive layer 41. The adhesive layer 41 can firmly connect the sealing cover 30 and the cover plate body 10 together and form a sealed sealing groove 12, thereby improving the product yield of the battery cell 1 and reducing the scrap rate.

[0066] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, a first recess 16 is defined on the cover plate body 10. The first recess 16 is located outside the injection hole 11. A portion of the sealing cap 30 extends into the first recess 16 to define a sealing groove 12 together with the cover plate body 10. A blocking protrusion 13 is provided on the cover plate body 10 and located between the first recess 16 and the injection hole 11 to separate the sealing groove 12 and the injection hole 11. This can prevent the adhesive from overflowing into the injection hole 11 and reduce the possibility of electrolyte entering the first recess 16, as well as the possibility of electrolyte affecting the adhesive layer 41. This makes it easier to use the adhesive layer 41 to glue the sealing cap 30 and the cover plate body 10 together.

[0067] In some examples, when the sealing cap 30 is fixed to the cover plate body 10, glue is first applied in the first sink 16. The blocking protrusion 13 can also prevent the glue in the sealing groove 12 from overflowing into the injection hole 11, thus avoiding glue overflow.

[0068] The blocking protrusion 13 is provided on the cover plate body 10, which also helps to improve the structural strength of the cover plate body 10 and improve the shear resistance of the cover plate body 10, so as to protect the components inside the battery cell 1 using the cover plate body 10.

[0069] In other embodiments, a first recess 16 is defined on the cover body 10, the first recess 16 is located outside the injection hole 11, and a blocking protrusion 13 is provided on the sealing cover 30, the blocking protrusion 13 extends into the first recess 16 to separate the sealing groove 12 and the injection hole 11.

[0070] In some examples, the cover plate assembly 1000 also includes a first seal 20, at least a portion of which is disposed within the injection hole 11 to seal the injection hole 11. When the sealing cap 30 is fixed to the cover plate body 10, adhesive is first applied to the first settling groove 16. The adhesive can flow from the first settling groove 16 to the injection hole 11 to bond the first seal 20 and the injection hole 11 together, thereby improving the sealing performance of the first seal 20 to the injection hole 11.

[0071] The placement of the blocking protrusion 13 on the sealing cover 30 also facilitates the improvement of the structural strength and shear resistance of the sealing cover 30, thereby protecting the first sealing element 20.

[0072] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6As shown, the sealing cap 30 has a recessed space 31 on the side wall facing the injection hole 11. The recessed space 31 is recessed in a direction away from the injection hole 11. The blocking protrusion 13 extends into the recessed space 31 and cooperates with the side wall of the recessed space 31. The blocking protrusion 13 limits the position of the sealing cap 30, thereby facilitating the fixing of the sealing cap 30 and the cover plate body 10 together.

[0073] In some embodiments, the cover plate body 10 is provided with an annular protrusion 14 surrounding the injection hole 11, and a blocking protrusion 13 is provided on the cover plate body 10. The annular protrusion 14 is located on the side of the blocking protrusion 13 facing the injection hole 11, and the blocking protrusion 13 defines the sidewall of the sealing groove 12.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 9 As shown, the blocking protrusion 13 is provided on the sealing cover 30 and abuts against the cover plate body 10 to define at least a portion of the sidewall of the sealing groove 12, thereby defining the space for the adhesive layer 41, so as to fix the cover plate body 10 and the sealing cover 30 together by using the adhesive layer 41. At the same time, by making the blocking protrusion 13 abut against the cover plate body 10, the thickness of the adhesive layer 41 can also be limited, ensuring the uniformity of the thickness of the adhesive layer 41 and preventing the adhesive from overflowing from the gap between the blocking protrusion 13 and the cover plate body.

[0075] The blocking protrusion 13 abuts against the cover plate body 10 to define a sealing groove 12 with uniform thickness, thereby facilitating the uniform distribution of the adhesive layer 41 between the sealing cover 30 and the cover plate body 10, and improving the firmness of the adhesive layer 41 in connecting the sealing cover 30 and the cover plate body 10.

[0076] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 , Figure 10 As shown, a first recess 16 is defined on the cover plate body 10. The first recess 16 is located outside the injection hole 11. The blocking protrusion 13 on the sealing cap 30 extends into the first recess 16 to define the sealing groove 12 together with the cover plate body 10, so that the thickness of the sealing groove 12 is uniform, which facilitates the uniform distribution of the adhesive layer 41 between the sealing cap 30 and the cover plate body 10, and improves the firmness of the adhesive layer 41 in connecting the sealing cap 30 and the cover plate body 10.

[0077] In some examples, the cover body 10 is provided with an annular protrusion 14, which is located between the blocking protrusion 13 and the injection hole 11. The annular protrusion 14 on the cover body 10 extends into the recessed space 31 of the sealing cap 30 to define the position of the sealing cap 30 on the cover body 10.

[0078] In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 8-10As shown, the cover plate body 10 is provided with an annular protrusion 14 surrounding the injection hole 11. The annular protrusion 14 is located on the side of the blocking protrusion 13 facing the injection hole 11, so that the annular protrusion 14 and the blocking protrusion 13 can be used together to separate the injection hole 11 and the sealing groove 12, further reducing the possibility that the electrolyte will enter the sealing groove 12.

[0079] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the blocking protrusion 13 is provided on the sealing cover 30, and the cover plate body 10 defines the first recess 16. The blocking protrusion 13 on the sealing cover 30 can extend into the first recess 16 and define the side wall of the sealing groove 12.

[0080] In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 10 As shown, the sealing cap 30 has a recessed space 31 on the side wall facing the injection hole 11. The recessed space 31 is recessed in a direction away from the injection hole 11. At least a portion of the annular protrusion 14 extends into the recessed space 31 to limit the position of the sealing cap 30 on the cover plate body 10, thereby facilitating the fixing of the sealing cap 30 and the cover plate body 10 together.

[0081] In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, in the thickness direction of the cover plate body 10, the cover plate body 10 is provided with an insertion groove 15 that is lower than the bottom wall of the sealing groove 12. A part of the blocking protrusion 13 is located in the insertion groove 15, so that the sealing cover 30 is initially fixed on the cover plate body 10 by the insertion and engagement of the blocking protrusion 13 and the insertion groove 15.

[0082] Furthermore, the insertion and engagement of the blocking protrusion 13 and the insertion groove 15 facilitates the initial positioning of the sealing cover 30, so as to facilitate the quick and accurate installation of the sealing cover 30 to the designated position of the cover plate body 10.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the cover plate body 10 is provided with a first settling groove 16 surrounding the injection hole 11. The sealing cover 30 includes a mating part 32 and an extending protrusion 33. The extending protrusion 33 is connected to the mating part 32 and extends toward the cover plate body 10. The extending protrusion 33 abuts against the bottom wall of the first settling groove 16 so that the mating part 32 and the bottom wall of the first settling groove 16 are spaced apart, thereby defining the sealing groove 12.

[0084] The adhesive layer 41 is disposed between the mating part 32 and the bottom wall of the first sink 16 to bond the mating part 32 and the bottom wall of the first sink 16, bond the extension protrusion 33 and the side wall of the first sink 16, and thus fix the sealing cover 30 and the cover plate body 10 together.

[0085] The first settling tank 16 can be an annular tank or a polygonal tank; no further restrictions are imposed here.

[0086] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the first recess 16 is recessed in the first direction away from the sealing cap 30, the mating part 32 extends in the second direction, the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction, the extending protrusion 33 extends in the first direction, and one end of the extending protrusion 33 in the first direction abuts against the bottom wall of the first recess 16, so that the mating part 32 and the bottom wall of the first recess 16 define a space with uniform thickness in the first direction, thereby ensuring that the adhesive layer 41 has uniform thickness in the first direction, so that the adhesive layer 41 can firmly fix and bond the cap and the cover plate body 10 together, and form a sealed sealing groove 12.

[0087] In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 10 As shown, the extended protrusion 33 defines the blocking protrusion 13 to separate the sealing groove 12 and the injection hole 11, preventing the adhesive from overflowing into the injection hole 11. At the same time, it can reduce the probability of the electrolyte affecting the adhesive layer 41, so as to ensure the adhesiveness of the adhesive layer 41, so that the adhesive layer 41 can firmly connect the sealing cap 30 and the cover plate body 10 together and form a sealed sealing groove 12.

[0088] In some examples, such as Figure 9 As shown, the extended protrusion 33 is located on the side of the mating part 32 near the injection hole 11, so as to separate the injection hole 11 and the sealing groove 12, prevent the adhesive from overflowing into the injection hole 11, and at the same time reduce the probability of the electrolyte affecting the adhesive layer 41, so as to ensure the adhesiveness of the adhesive layer 41, and enable the adhesive layer 41 to firmly connect the sealing cap 30 and the cover plate body 10 together.

[0089] In other alternative embodiments of the invention, such as Figure 5 As shown, the extending protrusion 33 and the blocking protrusion 13 define the opposite sidewalls of the sealing groove 12.

[0090] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the extension protrusion 33 is located on the side of the mating part 32 away from the injection hole 11. The extension protrusion 33 and the blocking protrusion 13 are arranged opposite each other in the second direction to define the sidewalls of the sealing groove 12 opposite each other in the second direction.

[0091] It should be explained here that "near" and "far" are relative to the axis of the injection hole 11. The side of the mating part 32 that is far away from the injection hole 11 refers to the side of the mating part that is far away from the axis of the injection hole 11, and the side of the mating part 32 that is close to the injection hole 11 refers to the side of the mating part that is close to the axis of the injection hole 11.

[0092] In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 13 , Figure 14 As shown, at least one of the sidewalls of the mating part 32 and the first sink 16 is provided with a stepped part 321 to increase the connection area between the adhesive layer 41 and the sidewall of the mating part 32 or the first sink 16, thereby improving the adhesion between the adhesive layer 41 and the sidewall of the mating part 32 or the first sink 16, and thus facilitating the secure connection between the cover plate body 10 and the sealing cover 30 and form a sealed sealing groove 12.

[0093] In some embodiments, such as Figures 13-15 As shown, the mating part 32 has a stepped part 321 on the side facing the bottom wall of the first sink 16. The stepped part 321 includes a first stepped surface and a second stepped surface. The adhesive layer 41 is located in the sealing groove 12 and is bonded to the first stepped surface and the second stepped surface to increase the connection area between the sealing cover 30 and the adhesive layer 41, thereby improving the adhesion between the adhesive layer 41 and the mating part 32, and making it easier to firmly fix the cover plate body 10 and the sealing cover 30 together.

[0094] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the depth of the first sink 16 along the first direction is H, the depth of the extended protrusion 33 along the first direction is H1, the length of the mating part 32 along the first direction is H2, and the thickness of the adhesive layer 41 along the first direction is H3.

[0095] In some examples, such as Figure 5 , Figure 7 As shown, the end of the extension protrusion 33 abuts against the bottom wall of the first sink 16, the mating part 32 and the extension protrusion 33 are fully inserted into the first sink 16, the extension protrusion 33 defines the side wall of the sealing groove 12, one side wall of the mating part 32 defines the top wall of the sealing groove 12 and the other side wall of the mating part 32 is flush with the opening of the first sink 16, at this time H=H1+H2.

[0096] In other examples, the end of the extension protrusion 33 abuts against the bottom wall of the first recess 16, the mating part 32 and the extension protrusion 33 extend completely into the first recess 16, the extension protrusion 33 defines the side wall of the sealing groove 12, one side wall of the mating part 32 defines the top wall of the sealing groove 12 and the other side wall of the mating part 32 is lower than the opening of the first recess 16, in which case H > H1 + H2.

[0097] In some other examples, the end of the extending protrusion 33 abuts against the bottom wall of the first recess 16, the mating part 32 and the extending protrusion 33 extend completely into the first recess 16, the extending protrusion 33 defines the side wall of the sealing groove 12, one side wall of the mating part 32 defines the top wall of the sealing groove 12 and the other side wall of the mating part 32 is higher than the opening of the first recess 16, in which case H < H1 + H2. Or, as... Figure 10As shown, the cover plate body 10 is provided with an insertion groove 15 that is lower than the bottom wall of the sealing groove 12, and a part of the extension protrusion 33 is located in the insertion groove 15, at which time H < H1 + H2.

[0098] In some other examples, at least a portion of the adhesive layer 41 is located between the extended protrusion 33 and the bottom wall of the first sink 16, where H3 > H1.

[0099] In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 10 , Figure 15 As shown, the outer peripheral wall of the first settling tank 16 away from the injection hole 11 is formed as an inclined surface to facilitate the insertion of the mating part 32 into the first settling tank 16, thereby facilitating the quick and easy installation of the sealing cap 30 onto the cover plate body 10.

[0100] In some embodiments, the extended protrusion 33 is located on the side of the mating part 32 near the injection hole 11. The outer peripheral wall of the mating part 32 is parallel to the outer peripheral wall of the first sink 16. The outer peripheral wall of the first sink 16 extends obliquely away from the injection hole 11 and the bottom wall of the first sink 16, so that the opening of the first sink 16 is larger, thereby facilitating the mating part 32 to extend into the first sink 16 and reducing the assembly difficulty.

[0101] In some embodiments of the present invention, the cover plate body 10 is provided with a first recess 16 surrounding the injection hole 11, and at least a portion of the sealing cap 30 extends into the first recess 16 to define the sealing groove 12 together with the cover plate body 10, and then the cover plate body 10 and the sealing cap 30 are bonded and fixed together by the adhesive layer 41.

[0102] The volume of the first sink 16 is larger than the volume of the sealing groove 12, so as to reserve enough space for the part of the sealing cover 30 that extends into the first sink 16.

[0103] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 , Figure 15 As shown, the volume of the first sink 16 is larger than the volume of the sealing groove 12, so that the mating part 32 and the extension protrusion 33 of the sealing cover 30 can extend into the first sink 16.

[0104] The extended protrusion 33 is located below the mating part 32. The top of the mating part 32 is flush with or below the upper surface of the cover body 10. This improves the overall aesthetics of the cover assembly 1000 and prevents the upper surface of the cover assembly 1000 from snagging on objects or scratching users.

[0105] In some embodiments of the present invention, the adhesive layer 41 is an annular adhesive layer, which is arranged around the central axis of the injection hole 11 so that the adhesive layer 41 can be evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the injection hole 11, thereby using the adhesive layer 41 to adhesively connect the cover plate body 10 and the sealing cover 30 together, so that the sealing cover 30 can fully seal the injection hole 11.

[0106] It should be explained here that the adhesive layer 41 is an annular adhesive layer, which means that the projection of the adhesive layer 41 in the axial direction of the injection hole 11 is annular.

[0107] In some embodiments of the present invention, the blocking protrusion 13 is annular and is arranged around the central axis of the injection hole 11 so that the blocking protrusion 13 extends circumferentially along the injection hole 13, thereby using the blocking protrusion 13 to fully separate the injection hole 11 and the sealing groove 12, preventing adhesive from overflowing into the injection hole 11 and preventing electrolyte at the injection hole 11 from flowing into the sealing groove 12.

[0108] It needs to be explained here that the blocking protrusion 13 is annular, which means that the projection of the blocking protrusion 13 is annular in the axial direction of the injection hole 11.

[0109] In some embodiments of the present invention, the cover plate assembly 1000 further includes a first sealing member 20, at least a portion of which is disposed within the injection hole 11 to block the injection hole 11. A sealing cap 30 is disposed on the first sealing member 20. In this way, after the electrolyte is injected into the cover plate body 10 from the injection hole 11, the first sealing member 20 is used to block the injection hole 11 to prevent the electrolyte in the battery cell 1 from leaking from the injection hole 11.

[0110] In some embodiments, the cover plate body 10 covers the first seal 20 to prevent the first seal 20 from leaking out, thereby protecting the first seal 20 and preventing the first seal 20 from falling off from the injection hole 11 due to accidental contact.

[0111] In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 15 As shown, the first seal 20 includes a sealing part 21, which extends into the injection hole 11 and abuts against the inner wall of the injection hole 11 to seal the injection hole 11 and prevent the electrolyte in the battery cell 1 from leaking from the injection hole 11.

[0112] In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 15As shown, the first sealing member 20 also includes a stop portion 22 provided on the sealing part 21. The cover plate body 10 is provided with a second recess 17. The second recess 17 is located on the side of the injection hole 11 facing the sealing cover 30 and is connected to the injection hole 11. The stop portion 22 abuts against the bottom wall of the second recess 17 to limit the position of the first sealing member 20 in the injection hole 11, so that the first sealing member 20 can fully seal the injection hole 11.

[0113] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the stop part 22 is located at the end of the sealing part 21 facing the sealing cover 30. The size of the sealing part 21 is smaller than the size of the stop part 22. The sealing part 21 can enter the injection hole 11 through the second sink 17 to abut against the inner wall of the injection hole 11, thereby sealing the injection hole 11. When the first sealing member 20 is installed in place, the stop part 22 abuts against the bottom wall of the second sink 17 to limit the position of the first sealing member 20.

[0114] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 5 , Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, the first seal 20 is an integral rubber nail. The first seal 20 is interference-fitted with the injection hole 11. The sealing cover 30 has a recessed space 31 on the side wall facing the first seal 20, and the recessed space 31 forms a protrusion on the side wall of the sealing cover 30 facing away from the first seal 20. A part of the first seal 20 extends into the recessed space 31 to protect the first seal 20 using the sealing cover 30.

[0115] The sealing cap 30 can be a circular cap or a polygonal cap; there are no further restrictions here.

[0116] In other specific embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 12 , Figure 14 and Figure 17 As shown, the first sealing element 20 has a split structure, including a stop portion 22 and a sealing portion 21. The sealing portion 21 is interference-fitted with the injection hole 11. The sealing cap 30 has a recessed space 31 on its side wall facing the first sealing element 20, and the side wall of the sealing cap 30 facing away from the first sealing element 20 is flat.

[0117] The following describes a battery cell according to an embodiment of the present invention. The battery cell according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing and a cover assembly 1000 according to the above embodiment of the present invention. The cover body is disposed at the end of the housing to close the end of the housing, thereby forming a closed space.

[0118] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the sealing cap 30 is glued and fixed to the cover plate body 10 using the cover plate assembly 1000 of the present invention, which simplifies the process of fixing the sealing cap 30 to the cover plate body 10. The blocking protrusion 13 separates the adhesive layer 41 and the injection hole 11, preventing the adhesive from overflowing into the injection hole 11. At the same time, it can reduce the probability of the electrolyte affecting the adhesive layer 41, so as to ensure the adhesiveness of the adhesive layer 41. The adhesive layer 41 can firmly connect the sealing cap 30 and the cover plate body 10 together, thereby improving the product yield of the battery cell 1 and reducing the scrap rate.

[0119] The following describes a battery pack according to an embodiment of the present invention. The battery pack according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of battery cells 1 according to the above embodiments of the present invention.

[0120] According to the battery pack of the present invention, by using the battery cell 1 of the present invention as described above, the sealing cover 30 is glued and fixed to the cover plate body 10, which simplifies the process of fixing the sealing cover 30 to the cover plate body 10. The blocking protrusion 13 separates the adhesive layer 41 and the injection hole 11, preventing the adhesive from overflowing into the injection hole 11. At the same time, it can reduce the probability of the electrolyte affecting the adhesive layer 41, so as to ensure the adhesiveness of the adhesive layer 41. The adhesive layer 41 can firmly connect the sealing cover 30 and the cover plate body 10 together, thereby improving the product yield of the battery cell 1 and reducing the scrap rate.

[0121] The following describes an electrical appliance according to an embodiment of the present invention. The electrical appliance according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a battery cell 1 or a battery pack according to the above embodiments of the present invention.

[0122] According to the electrical equipment of the present invention, the sealing cap 30 is glued and fixed to the cover plate body 10, which simplifies the process of fixing the sealing cap 30 to the cover plate body 10. The blocking protrusion 13 separates the adhesive layer 41 and the injection hole 11, preventing the adhesive from overflowing into the injection hole 11. At the same time, it can reduce the probability of the electrolyte affecting the adhesive layer 41, so as to ensure the adhesiveness of the adhesive layer 41. The adhesive layer 41 can firmly connect the sealing cap 30 and the cover plate body 10 together, thereby facilitating the improvement of the product yield of the battery cell 1 and reducing the scrap rate.

[0123] The following describes an assembly method for a battery cell 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The battery cell 1 is the battery cell 1 according to the above embodiment of the present invention.

[0124] like Figure 18 , Figure 17 As shown, the assembly method of the first seal 20 includes:

[0125] S1: Inject electrolyte into the battery cells through the injection hole;

[0126] S2: Install the first seal to block the injection hole;

[0127] S4: Apply adhesive to the sealing cap and / or the cap plate body;

[0128] S5: Assemble the sealing cap.

[0129] Specifically, electrolyte is first added into the battery cell 1 through the injection hole 11, then the first sealing member 20 is used to seal the injection hole 11, adhesive is applied to at least one of the sealing cap 30 and the cover plate body 10, and then the sealing cap 30 is assembled onto the cover plate body 10, with the adhesive applied in the sealing groove 12 to define the adhesive layer 41 in the sealing groove 12. The adhesive layer 41 is used to fix the sealing cap 30 and the cover plate body 10 together, so that the sealing cap 30 covers the injection hole 11 and the first sealing member 20, and the sealing cap 30 and the cover plate body 10 form a closed sealing groove 12.

[0130] According to the assembly method of the battery cell 1 of the present invention, the process of fixing the sealing cover 30 to the cover plate body 10 by adhesively fixing the sealing cover 30 to the cover plate body 10 is simpler, which facilitates the improvement of assembly efficiency and assembly yield.

[0131] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 19 As shown, the assembly method of battery cell 1 further includes, before dispensing adhesive:

[0132] S31: Clean the area surrounding the injection hole on the cover plate body.

[0133] To remove stains from the area around the injection hole 11 of the cover plate body 10, thereby improving the adhesion between the adhesive layer 41 and the area around the injection hole 11 of the cover plate body 10, so that the adhesive layer 41 and the cover plate body 10 are firmly bonded together.

[0134] In some embodiments, cleaning the portion of the cover plate body 10 surrounding the injection hole 11 includes plasma cleaning. Plasma cleaning can remove dirt from the portion of the cover plate body 10 surrounding the injection hole 11 and increase the free energy of the surface of the portion of the cover plate body 10 surrounding the injection hole 11. This allows the adhesive molecules to penetrate to the surface of the portion of the cover plate body 10 surrounding the injection hole 11 during dispensing, or enables the adhesive to react chemically with its surface. This, in turn, improves the adhesion between the adhesive and the portion of the cover plate body 10 surrounding the injection hole 11 and enhances the sealing performance of the adhesive layer 41 to the sealing groove 12.

[0135] Furthermore, by performing plasma cleaning on the portion of the cover plate body 10 surrounding the injection hole 11, the wettability of the surface of the portion of the cover plate body 10 surrounding the injection hole 11 can be improved. This allows the adhesive to spread quickly on the surface of the portion of the cover plate body 10 surrounding the injection hole 11 when the adhesive is applied. This facilitates the formation of a uniform adhesive layer 41, which in turn securely fixes the cover plate body 10 and the sealing cap 30 together, improving the sealing performance of the adhesive layer 41 on the sealing groove 12.

[0136] In some embodiments, cleaning the portion of the cover plate body 10 surrounding the injection hole 11 includes laser cleaning. Laser cleaning can remove stains on the portion of the cover plate body 10 surrounding the injection hole 11, thereby increasing the free energy of the surface of the portion of the cover plate body 10 surrounding the injection hole 11 and increasing the wettability of the surface of the portion of the cover plate body 10 surrounding the injection hole 11, so that the adhesive and the portion of the cover plate body 10 surrounding the injection hole 11 are firmly bonded together.

[0137] On the other hand, it can also increase the surface roughness of the cover plate body 10 surrounding the injection hole 11, so as to improve the mechanical interlocking ability of the adhesive and the surface of the cover plate body 10 surrounding the injection hole 11 when the adhesive is applied to its surface, thereby making the adhesive and the cover plate body 10 firmly bonded together around the injection hole 11, and improving the sealing performance of the adhesive layer 41 to the sealing groove 12.

[0138] In addition, when electrolyte overflows into the area surrounding the injection hole 11 on the cover plate body 10, laser cleaning can also remove the electrolyte from the area surrounding the injection hole 11 on the cover plate body 10, so as to prevent the electrolyte from being located between the adhesive layer 41 and the cover plate body 10 and affecting the adhesion between the adhesive layer 41 and the cover plate body 10.

[0139] The portion of the cover plate body 10 surrounding the injection hole 11 can be cleaned by plasma first and then by laser, or it can be cleaned by plasma only or by laser only. There are no restrictions on this.

[0140] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 7 As shown, the assembly method of battery cell 1 further includes, before dispensing adhesive:

[0141] S32: Clean the sealing cap.

[0142] To remove stains from the sealing cap 30, thereby improving the adhesion between the adhesive layer 41 and the sealing cap 30, so that the adhesive layer 41 and the sealing cap 30 are firmly bonded together.

[0143] In some embodiments, cleaning the sealing cap 30 includes plasma cleaning, which can remove dirt from the sealing cap 30 and increase the free energy of the surface of the sealing cap 30 so that when adhesive is applied later, the molecules of the adhesive can penetrate to the surface of the sealing cap 30 at the microscopic level, or enable the adhesive to react chemically with its surface, thereby improving the adhesion between the adhesive and the sealing cap 30 and improving the sealing performance of the adhesive layer 41 to the sealing groove 12.

[0144] In addition, plasma cleaning of the sealing cover 30 can improve the wettability of the sealing cover 30 surface, so that when the adhesive is applied to the sealing cover 30, the adhesive can spread quickly on its surface, thus enabling the adhesive to spread smoothly on the surface of the sealing cover 30, so as to form a uniform adhesive layer 41. The adhesive layer 41 is then used to firmly fix the sealing cover 30 and the sealing cover 30 together, thereby improving the sealing performance of the adhesive layer 41 on the sealing groove 12.

[0145] In some embodiments, cleaning the sealing cap 30 includes laser cleaning. Laser cleaning can remove stains from the sealing cap 30, thereby increasing the free energy and wettability of the sealing cap 30 surface, so that the adhesive and the sealing cap 30 are firmly bonded together. On the other hand, it can also increase the surface roughness of the sealing cap 30, so that when the adhesive is applied to its surface, the mechanical interlocking ability between the adhesive and the sealing cap 30 surface is improved, thereby making the adhesive and the sealing cap 30 firmly bonded together and improving the sealing performance of the adhesive layer 41 to the sealing groove 12.

[0146] In addition, when electrolyte spills onto the sealing cap 30, laser cleaning can also remove the electrolyte from the sealing cap 30 to prevent the electrolyte from being located between the adhesive layer 41 and the sealing cap 30, thus affecting the adhesion between the adhesive layer 41 and the sealing cap 30.

[0147] The sealing cover 30 can be subjected to plasma cleaning first, followed by laser cleaning, or it can be subjected to plasma cleaning only, or it can be subjected to laser cleaning only. There are no major restrictions here.

[0148] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, such as ​ As shown, the cover plate body 10 is provided with a first recess 16 surrounding the injection hole 11. The sealing cap 30 includes a mating part 32 and an extending protrusion 33. The extending protrusion 33 is connected to the mating part 32 and extends toward the cover plate body 10. The extending protrusion 33 abuts against the bottom wall of the first recess 16, so that the mating part 32 and the bottom wall of the first recess 16 are spaced apart, thereby defining a sealing groove 12. The extending protrusion 33 includes a first adhesive surface, and the mating part 32 includes a second adhesive surface. The first adhesive surface and the second adhesive surface respectively define different inner walls of the sealing groove 12.

[0149] When cleaning the portion of the cover plate body 10 surrounding the injection hole 11, the bottom and side walls of the first settling tank 16 can also be cleaned. Specifically, when plasma cleaning is performed on the bottom and side walls of the first settling tank 16, oil stains on the bottom and side walls of the first settling tank 16 can be removed, thereby increasing the free energy and wettability of the bottom and side walls of the first settling tank 16. When laser cleaning is performed on the bottom and side walls of the first settling tank 16, the roughness of the bottom and side walls of the first settling tank 16 can be increased, oil stains on the bottom and side walls of the first settling tank 16 can be removed, thereby increasing the free energy and wettability of the bottom and side walls of the first settling tank 16.

[0150] When cleaning the sealing cover 30, the first and second adhesive surfaces can also be cleaned. Specifically, when plasma cleaning is performed on the sealing cover 30, oil stains on the surfaces of the first and second adhesive surfaces can be removed, thereby increasing the free energy and wettability of the surfaces. When laser cleaning is performed on the sealing cover 30, the roughness of the first and second adhesive surfaces can be increased, oil stains on the surfaces of the first and second adhesive surfaces can be removed, thereby increasing the free energy and wettability of the surfaces.

[0151] The adhesive can be applied to the bottom and side walls of the first sink 16, and / or applied to the first and second adhesive surfaces. When the sealing cap 30 is placed on the cover plate body 10, the sealing cap 30 and the cover plate body 10 define a sealing groove 12. The adhesive is located in the sealing groove 12 and defines an adhesive layer 41, so as to firmly bond the sealing cap 30 and the cover plate body 10 together and form a closed sealing groove 12.

[0152] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, laser cleaning equipment can be used to perform laser cleaning on the portion of the cover plate body 10 surrounding the injection hole 11, and to perform laser cleaning on the sealing cover 30.

[0153] The laser cleaning power of the laser cleaning equipment ranges from 20 to 200W. The laser cleaning frequency ranges from 50 to 300 kHz. The laser cleaning speed ranges from 10 to 7000 mm / s.

[0154] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, plasma cleaning equipment can be used to perform laser cleaning on the portion of the cover plate body 10 surrounding the injection hole 11, and to perform laser cleaning on the sealing cover 30.

[0155] The cleaning power of plasma cleaning equipment is 100-2000W, the cleaning distance is 5-30mm, and the cleaning speed is 1-300mm / s.

[0156] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, an automatic glue applicator can be used to apply glue to the sealing cap 30 and / or the cap plate body 10.

[0157] Specifically, the amount of adhesive can be calculated based on the volume of the sealing groove 12. An automatic adhesive applicator is used to apply adhesive dots to the sealing cover 30 and / or the cover plate body 10 along a set trajectory, at a set adhesive speed, and with a set adhesive amount. The amount of adhesive applied is determined by the sealing groove 12, which helps to reduce the possibility of adhesive overflow.

[0158] In some embodiments, the cover plate body 10 is provided with a first sink 16 surrounding the injection hole 11, and the sealing cover 30 includes a mating part 32 and an extending protrusion 33. The extending protrusion 33 is connected to the mating part 32 and extends toward the cover plate body 10. The extending protrusion 33 abuts against the bottom wall of the first sink 16 so that the mating part 32 and the bottom wall of the first sink 16 are spaced apart, thereby defining the sealing groove 12.

[0159] The volume of the first settling tank 16 is V, the volume of the extension protrusion 33 and the mating part 32 extending into the first settling tank 16 is V1, and the volume of the adhesive is V2, wherein V2 > V - V1, so as to reserve the volume of the adhesive that may be compressed and the adhesive loss.

[0160] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the adhesive applied to the sealing cap 30 and / or the cover plate body 10 may be a sealant, structural adhesive or hot melt adhesive, so that the sealing cap 30 and the cover plate body 10 form a sealed sealing groove 12. Of course, other adhesives may also be used, and no further restrictions are imposed here.

[0161] The cover plate body 10 and the sealing cover 30 are bonded together using sealant, structural adhesive and hot melt adhesive. The sealing performance of the sealing groove 12 meets the requirements of 1000 hours of aging test at -40℃ to 85℃, 1000 hours of aging test at constant temperature and humidity of 85℃ and RH of 85%, and 1000 hours of immersion in 5% NaCl seawater.

[0162] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, after assembling the sealing cap 30, a settling period is included to allow the adhesive to cure and form an adhesive layer 41. The settling time can be determined according to the type of adhesive.

[0163] In some embodiments, the shear strength of the adhesive layer 41 can be tested after standing. If the shear strength of the adhesive layer 41 is >1 MPa, the next process can be carried out.
