[0056] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0057] The following describes a cover assembly 1 of a battery cell according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0058] like Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the cover assembly 1 of the battery cell according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a cover portion 10 , a cap 41 , a first insulating member 30 and a second insulating member 42 .

[0059] The electrode assembly 70 of the battery cell 1000 has a tab 71 . The cover portion 10 is provided with an escape hole 11 . The tab 71 is passed through the escape hole 11 .

[0060] Among them, the pole ear 71 is directly inserted into the avoidance through hole 11 to reserve a position for the pole ear 71. This method does not need to bend the pole ear 71, which is convenient for reducing the space occupied by the pole ear 71 on the inner side of the cover body 10, and further convenient for reserving more space for the electrode assembly 70 in the battery cell 1000, so as to improve the energy density of the battery cell 1000 and increase the capacity of the battery cell 1000.

[0061] The cap 41 is used to cover the avoidance through hole 11 to protect the components located inside the cover body 10. For example, by covering the avoidance through hole 11 with the cap 41, the tab 71 can be prevented from being exposed, providing a relatively stable working environment for the tab 71, and facilitating the protection of the tab 71.

[0062] The first insulating member 30 is disposed on the side of the cover body 10 facing away from the cap 41 to separate the cover body 10 from the charged parts inside the cover body 10, such as separating the cover body 10 from the electrode assembly 70, thereby reducing the possibility of contact between the cover body 10 and the electrode assembly 70, and reducing the possibility of leakage or short circuit of the battery cell 1000.

[0063] The second insulating member 42 is disposed between the cap 41 and the tab 71 to separate the cap 41 and the tab 71 , thereby preventing the tab 71 from directly contacting the cap 41 and preventing the battery cell 1000 from leaking or shorting.

[0064] Among them, the second insulating member 42 is fixedly connected to the cap 41 and / or the first insulating member 30, so that the position of the second insulating member 42 can be limited by using the first insulating member 30 or the cap 41, so that the second insulating member 42 is located between the cap 41 and the pole ear 71 to prevent the second insulating member 42 from falling off, so as to ensure that the second insulating member 42 can stably separate the cap 41 and the pole ear 71, thereby reducing the possibility of leakage or short circuit of the battery cell.

[0065] It should be explained here that the inner side is the inner side when the cover assembly 1 is arranged on the shell 60 of the battery cell 1000, that is, the side of the cover 10 facing the electrode assembly 70 is the inner side, and the side of the cover 10 facing away from the electrode assembly 70 is the outer side.

[0066] According to the cover body assembly 1 of the battery cell according to an embodiment of the present invention, a second insulating member 42 is arranged between the pole ear 71 and the cap 41 to separate the pole ear 71 and the cap 41, thereby reducing the possibility of contact between the pole ear 71 and the cap 41. At the same time, by fixing the position of the second insulating member 42 to confine the second insulating member 42 between the pole ear 71 and the cap 41, it is ensured that the second insulating member 42 can stably separate the pole ear 71 and the cap 41, thereby reducing the possibility of leakage or short circuit of the battery cell 1000.

[0067] The following describes a cover assembly 1 of a battery cell according to a specific embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0068] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the cover assembly 1 includes a cover portion 10 , a cover cap 41 , a first insulating member 30 and a second insulating member 42 .

[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the first insulating member 30 and the cap 41 are located on both sides of the second insulating member 42, so that the position of the second insulating member 42 is limited by at least one of the first insulating member 30 and the cap 41, so that the second insulating member 42 can always separate the cap 41 and the tab 71 to prevent the tab 71 from directly contacting the cap 41, thereby preventing the battery cell 1000 from leaking or short-circuiting.

[0070] In some embodiments, the second insulating member 42 is fixedly connected to the cap 41 .

[0071] In some examples, the cap 41 is welded and fixed to the cover body 10 , and / or the cap 41 is fixedly connected to the first insulating member 30 , and / or the second insulating member 42 is fixedly connected to the first insulating member 30 .

[0072] In other embodiments, the second insulating member 42 is fixedly connected to the first insulating member 30 .

[0073] In some examples, the cap 41 is welded and fixed to the cover body 10 , and / or, the cap 41 is fixedly connected to the first insulating member 30 , and / or, the cap 41 is fixedly connected to the second insulating member 42 .

[0074] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the first insulating member 30 is provided with a protrusion 31 protruding toward the cover body 10, and the protrusion 31 is penetrated through the avoidance through hole 11 and is located between the avoidance through hole 11 and the pole ear 71 to prevent the pole ear 71 from directly contacting the hole edge of the avoidance through hole 11, thereby preventing the current on the pole ear 71 from flowing to the cover body 10, thereby reducing the possibility of leakage or short circuit of the battery cell 1000.

[0075] In some embodiments, the protrusion 31 is an annular protrusion, which extends along the circumference of the avoidance hole 11 to fully separate the hole edge of the avoidance hole 11 and the portion of the pole ear 71 extending into the avoidance hole 11, thereby reducing the possibility of leakage or short circuit of the battery cell 1000.

[0076] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, the second insulating member 42 is fixedly connected to the first insulating member 30, and the second insulating member 42 is covered on the protrusion 31, so as to utilize the second insulating member 42 and the protrusion 31 to separate the cap 41 and the pole ear 71, so as to prevent the pole ear 71 from contacting the cap 41 and preventing the battery cell 1000 from leakage or short circuit.

[0077] Among them, the second insulating member 42 is fixedly matched with the protrusion 31, so that the position of the second insulating member 42 is limited by the first insulating member 30, so that the second insulating member 42 can always separate the cap 41 and the pole ear 71 to avoid direct contact between the pole ear 71 and the cap 41, thereby reducing the possibility of leakage or short circuit of the battery cell 1000.

[0078] The protrusion 31 extends from the avoidance through hole 11 to the outside of the cover 10, and the second insulating member 42 is located outside the cover 10, so that the second insulating member 42 and the protrusion 31 can be easily installed and matched, thereby reducing the difficulty of operation.

[0079] In some embodiments, Figure 4As shown, the cap 41 defines a first inner cavity, the second insulating member 42 is located in the first inner cavity, and the second insulating member 42 defines a second inner cavity 421, and the second insulating member 42 covers the protrusion 31, that is, the protrusion 31 is located in the second inner cavity 421, so that the cap 41 and the second insulating member 42 can be used to protect the protrusion 31 extending into the avoidance through hole 11, and at the same time, the protrusion 31 and the second insulating member 42 are used to separate the pole ear 71 and the side wall of the first inner cavity, thereby reducing the possibility of contact between the pole ear 71 and the cap 41, thereby reducing the possibility of leakage or short circuit of the battery cell 1000.

[0080] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the second insulating member 42 and the protruding portion 31 are snap-fitted together. This installation method is simple and convenient, and is easy to operate, so that the second insulating member 42 and the protruding portion 31 can be fixedly matched quickly and accurately.

[0081] The protrusion 31 extends from the avoidance through hole 11 to the outside of the cover body 10, and the second insulating member 42 is located outside the cover body 10, which facilitates the installation and matching of the second insulating member 42 and the first insulating member, thereby reducing the difficulty of operation.

[0082] In addition, by snap-fitting the second insulating member 42 and the protrusion 31 , the second insulating member 42 and the protrusion 31 can be detachably matched, thereby facilitating the subsequent disassembly of the second insulating member 42 and the protrusion 31 to facilitate replacement or repair of parts of the cover assembly 1 .

[0083] In some embodiments, one of the second insulating member 42 and the protrusion 31 is provided with a hook 311 , and the other is provided with a slot 422 , and the slot 422 cooperates with the hook 311 , thereby enabling snap-fitting of the second insulating member 42 and the protrusion 31 .

[0084] Among them, the second insulating member 42 and the protrusion 31 are fixed together by the structural design of the hook 311 and the slot 422, the position of the second insulating member 42 is limited, and the second insulating member 42 is used to achieve insulation between the cap 41 and the tab 71. The hook 311 and the slot 422 have a simple structure and low manufacturing cost, and will not fall off and fail due to long-term infiltration of the electrolyte, thereby improving the firmness of the second insulating member 42.

[0085] In some examples, such as Figure 7-Figure 11 As shown, hooks 311 are provided on both sides of the length direction of the protrusion 31, and slots 422 are provided on both sides of the length direction of the second insulating member 42. The two hooks 311 and the two slots 422 are correspondingly snap-fitted to stably fix the protrusion 31 and the second insulating member 42 together.

[0086] In some examples, such as Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Fig.10 As shown, the second insulating member 42 defines a second inner cavity 421, and the second inner cavity 421 is provided with a groove 422 running through its thickness direction on two side walls opposite to each other in the length direction of the second insulating member 42, and two hooks 311 are provided on the protrusion 31, and the two hooks 311 are matched with the two grooves 422 in a one-to-one manner, wherein the protrusion 31 is connected to the hook 311 through a connecting arm 314, and the hook 311 includes a guide surface 312 and a stop surface 313, and the guide surface 312 is located on the side of the hook 311 facing the groove 422, and the two guide surfaces 312 extend from the inside to the outside in a direction close to each other, and the stop surface 313 extends in a horizontal direction.

[0087] When the second insulating member 42 is fixed to the protrusion 31, the second insulating member 42 first cooperates with the guide surface 312. Since the two hooks 311 are subjected to the force of the side wall of the second inner cavity 421, under the guidance of the guide surface 312, the two connecting arms 314 and the hooks 311 will move in a direction close to each other, so that the second insulating member 42 can smoothly move toward the direction close to the cover body 10. When moving to the corresponding position and the hooks 311 are opposite to the slots 422, the two connecting arms 314 restore their deformation and move in a direction away from each other, at which time the two hooks 311 are driven to move in a direction away from each other and extend into the corresponding slots 422, and the abutment surface 313 is abutted against the bottom wall of the slot 422 to achieve a snap fit between the hooks 311 and the slot 422.

[0088] Furthermore, the protrusion 31, the hook 311 and the connecting arm 314 are an integrally formed structure, which makes it easy to reduce the connection structure and reduce the complexity of the structure.

[0089] In other examples, a card slot 422 is provided on both sides of the length direction of the protrusion 31, and a hook 311 is provided on both sides of the length direction of the second insulating member 42. The two hooks 311 and the two card slots 422 are correspondingly snap-fitted to stably fix the protrusion 31 and the second insulating member 42 together.

[0090] In some embodiments of the present invention, the cap 41 and the second insulating member 42 are fixedly connected to prevent the cap 41 and the second insulating member 42 from being out of engagement, so that the cap 41 can cover the avoidance through hole 11 and the second insulating member 42 can separate the cap 41 and the tab 71 .

[0091] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, one of the second insulating member 42 and the cover cap 41 is provided with a groove 431, and the other is provided with a protrusion 432 matching with the groove 431, and the protrusion 432 extends into the groove 431 to achieve fixed fit between the second insulating member 42 and the cover cap 41.

[0092] In some embodiments, the protrusion 432 and the groove 431 are abutted and fixed, and the size of the protrusion 432 is slightly larger than the size of the groove 431 to achieve an interference fit between the protrusion 432 and the groove 431 to fix the second insulating member 42 and the cap 41 together.

[0093] In some embodiments, an adhesive portion may be provided between the protrusion 432 and the groove 431 to further fix the protrusion 432 and the groove 431 , thereby achieving fixed fit between the second insulating member 42 and the cap 41 .

[0094] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 12-14 As shown, the cap 41 defines a first inner cavity, and the second insulating member 42 is located in the first inner cavity and defines a second inner cavity 421 .

[0095] In some embodiments, one of the groove 431 and the protrusion 432 is disposed on the inner top wall of the cap 41, and the other of the groove 431 and the protrusion 432 is disposed on the outer top wall of the second insulating member 42. When the cap 41 and the second insulating member 42 are installed together and the second insulating member 42 extends into the first inner cavity, the protrusion 432 extends into the groove 431 to cooperate with the groove 431, thereby fixing the cap 41 and the second insulating member 42 together.

[0096] In some examples, such as Fig.12 As shown, the inner top wall of the cap 41 is provided with a groove 431, and the outer top wall of the second insulating member 42 is provided with a protrusion 432. In other examples, such as Fig.15 , Fig.16 As shown, the inner top wall of the cap 41 is provided with a protrusion 432 , and the outer top wall of the second insulating member 42 is provided with a groove 431 .

[0097] In some embodiments, one of the groove 431 and the protrusion 432 is disposed on the inner wall of the cap 41, and the other of the groove 431 and the protrusion 432 is disposed on the outer wall of the second insulating member 42. When the cap 41 and the second insulating member 42 are installed together and the second insulating member 42 extends into the first inner cavity, the protrusion 432 extends into the groove 431 to cooperate with the groove 431, thereby fixing the cap 41 and the second insulating member 42 together.
