[0040] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and implementation methods. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts related to the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, rather than all of them.

[0041] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection or a detachable connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, and it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0042] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include that the first and second features are in direct contact, or may include that the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them. Moreover, a first feature being "above", "above" and "above" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below", "below" and "below" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0043] The cover plate of the battery cell is generally provided with a pole, which is connected to the pole ear of the pole group through a connecting piece. In order to ensure the safety of the battery cell, block the electrical conduction in the event of thermal runaway, delay or even eliminate the risk of thermal runaway, a fuse structure is generally provided on the connecting piece of the positive electrode, and the fuse structure melts and disconnects in the event of thermal runaway, thereby disconnecting the connection between the pole group and the pole. However, the provision of a connecting piece will increase the internal resistance of the battery cell and increase the number of parts. The assembly process requires multiple positioning, which is not conducive to automated production. In order to solve the above problems, the present embodiment provides a cover plate structure, which can reduce the internal resistance of the battery cell and improve production efficiency.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the cover plate structure 100 of this embodiment includes a pole 1, the bottom plate 11 of the pole 1 includes a fuse safety zone 111 and a welding zone 112, the pole lug 3001 is welded to the welding zone 112, the main body 12 of the pole 1 is connected to the welding zone 112 via the fuse safety zone 111, and the fuse safety zone 111 can be melted and disconnected in the event of thermal runaway, so that the main body 12 is disconnected from the welding zone 112. By directly arranging the fuse safety zone 111 and the welding zone 112 on the bottom plate 11 of the pole 1, the connecting piece can be omitted under the premise of ensuring safe disconnection in thermal runaway, which can not only reduce the internal resistance of the battery cell, but also reduce the number of accessories, simplify the assembly steps, and improve production efficiency.

[0045] Optionally, the fuse safety area 111 is provided with a through hole. Figure 5 As shown, the fuse safety zone 111 is provided with a first through hole 1112, and the first through hole 1112 is provided through, and the through direction is perpendicular to the plate surface of the bottom plate 11. Since the flow direction of electricity in the bottom plate 11 is parallel to the plate surface direction of the bottom plate 11, the through direction of the first through hole 1112 is perpendicular to the flow direction of electricity, and the opening of the first through hole 1112 can reduce the flow cross section. Of course, in other embodiments, multiple through holes can also be provided, and the multiple through holes can be arranged at intervals, and the through directions are parallel. In addition, the through holes can be arranged to have a cross-section of a circle, an ellipse, a polygon or an irregular shape, which is not limited here.

[0046] Optionally, the fuse safety zone 111 is provided with a groove. Figure 5 As shown, the fuse safety zone 111 is provided with a first groove 1111 to further reduce the flow cross section of the fuse safety zone 111. Optionally, the first groove 1111 is provided on the surface of the bottom plate 11 facing the first plastic part 4, and the first groove 1111 is provided through, and the through direction is perpendicular to the flow direction of electricity.

[0047] Optionally, the cover plate structure 100 further includes an insulating protective layer 2, which is coated on the fuse safety zone 111. The insulating protective layer 2 is used to prevent short circuits and arcing, to provide safety protection for the fuse safety zone 111, and to increase the structural strength of the zone. The first groove 1111 can facilitate positioning when the insulating protective layer 2 is set.

[0048] like Figure 4 As shown, optionally, a side of the first plastic part 4 facing the inside of the battery is provided with an avoidance groove 41, the insulating protective layer 2 is provided protruding from the bottom plate 11, and the protruding portion is located at the avoidance groove 41, so as to prevent the protruding portion of the insulating protective layer 2 from abutting against the first plastic part 4, resulting in a gap between the bottom plate 11 and the first plastic part 4. Optionally, a limiting protrusion 42 is further provided on the side of the first plastic part 4 facing the inside of the battery, and the limiting protrusion 42 is located at the edge of the bottom plate 11, so as to prevent the bottom plate 11 from moving along the plate surface of the first plastic part 4.

[0049] Optionally, the bottom plate 11 of the pole 1 is attached to the surface of the first plastic part 4 facing the inside of the battery, and when the welding area 112 of the bottom plate 11 is welded to the pole lug 3001, the heat will be transferred to the first plastic part 4 through the bottom plate 11, causing the first plastic part 4 to melt and burn to varying degrees. Therefore, it is necessary to dissipate the heat of the pole 1, ensure the heat dissipation efficiency as much as possible within a limited space, dissipate the heat generated by welding, and protect the first plastic part 4. Therefore, optionally, the cover plate structure 100 also includes a heat sink 3, which is connected to the area of ​​the welding area 112 where the pole lug 3001 is not welded, and the heat sink 3 is used to absorb the heat of the welding area 112 and dissipate it.

[0050] Optionally, the heat sink 3 includes a connection area 31, which is connected to the end surface of the welding area 112 facing the pole ear 3001 so that heat can reach the heat sink 3 faster. The end surface of the connection area 31 facing away from the welding area 112 has a heat dissipation protrusion 311 to increase the heat dissipation area of ​​the connection area 31 and improve the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0051] Optionally, the cover plate structure 100 further includes a first plastic part 4, and the heat sink 3 further includes a heat sink 32, one end of the heat sink 32 is connected to the connection area 31, and the other end is bent toward the first plastic part 4 and contacts the first plastic part 4. The provision of the heat sink 32 can further increase the heat dissipation area of ​​the heat sink 3, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency. The end of the heat sink 32 contacts the first plastic part 4, which can facilitate the fixation of the heat sink 3, so that the first plastic part 4 can support the heat sink 3.

[0052] Optionally, one end of the heat dissipation area 32 connected to the connection area 31 is bent, so that the area where the heat dissipation area 32 and the first plastic part 4 are spaced apart is closer to the first plastic part 4 than the connection area 31. Such an arrangement can reduce the gap space between the heat dissipation area 32 of the heat dissipation element 3 and the first plastic part 4, reduce the space occupied by heat dissipation, and ensure the energy density of the battery cell.

[0053] Optionally, the heat sink 3 is a bent plate-like structure, and the connection area 31 and the heat dissipation area 32 are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the first plastic part 4, so that the sizes of the connection area 31 and the heat dissipation area 32 of the heat sink 3 can be set larger to ensure sufficient heat dissipation area.

[0054] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the heat dissipation area 32 includes a first bending area 321, a spacer area 322, a second bending area 323 and a support end 324 which are sequentially connected along the length direction of the first plastic part 4. The spacer area 322 is a region arranged parallel to the first plastic part 4. The first bending area 321 is located at the connection position between the spacer area 322 and the connection area 31. The second bending area 323 is located between the spacer area 322 and the support end 324. The end surface of the support end 324 contacts the first plastic part 4 to prevent the heat dissipation element 3 from being deformed or displaced by force. The suspended design of the spacer area 322 is conducive to heat dissipation and will not burn the first plastic part 4.

[0055] Optionally, the heat sink 3 is a plate-like structure, the thickness of the plate-like structure is T, satisfying When the heat sink 3 is too thin, the heat dissipation area is too small, and the structural strength of the heat sink 3 cannot be guaranteed. If the spacer 322 is bent and deformed, it may abut against the first plastic part 4, thereby burning the first plastic part 4. If the heat sink 3 is too thick, it will increase the difficulty of bending and occupy more space, which is not conducive to the arrangement of various components inside the battery cell.

[0056] Optionally, the plate-like structure has a first plate surface 301 and a second plate surface 302 arranged opposite to each other, the first plate surface 301 faces the first plastic part 4, the second plate surface 302 faces away from the first plastic part 4, and the area of ​​the second plate surface 302 located in the heat dissipation zone 32 is S1, that is, Figure 6 The area of ​​the shaded area on the left side of the figure is S2, the surface of the welding area 112 facing the pole ear 3001 is the third plate surface 1121, and the area of ​​the portion of the third plate surface 1121 welded to the pole ear 3001 is S2, satisfying That is, it is necessary to ensure that the heat dissipation area of ​​the heat dissipation zone 32 cannot be too small relative to the area of ​​the area on the bottom plate 11 used for welding with the tab 3001, otherwise the heat dissipation effect is not good.

[0057] Optionally, the area of ​​the portion of the second plate surface 302 located in the connection area 31 is S3, that is, Figure 6 The area of ​​the shaded region on the right side of That is, the proportion of the connection area 31 to the heat sink 3 cannot be too small, otherwise the heat conduction area between the heat sink 3 and the bottom plate 11 will be insufficient, and too slow heat transfer will also result in more heat being transferred to the first plastic part 4.

[0058] As shown in Table 1 below, ten different sizes of cover plate structures 100 are provided, and all of the ten cover plate structures 100 adopt the pole 1 and heat sink 3 of the above design, wherein the thickness T of the heat sink 3 is 0.5 mm, and the number of layers of the pole lug 3001 is 90.

The first plastic part 4 of the cover plate structure 100 of Example 2 is burned, and the proportion of the cover plate structure 100 that can meet the use requirements of the battery cell is 70%. The first plastic part 4 of the cover plate structure 100 of Examples 3 to 5 are all slightly burned, and the proportion of the cover plate structure 100 that can meet the use requirements of the battery cell is 83%, 92% and 99% respectively. The ratio of S3 / S1 in Examples 6 to 10 is greater than or equal to 40%. After the welding of the pole ear 3001 and the pole 1 is completed, the first plastic parts 4 of these cover structures 100 are not burned, and the cover structure 100 can meet the requirements for battery cell use at a ratio of 100%.

[0066] Therefore, in order to prevent the laser welding between the pole ear 3001 and the pole 1 from causing burns or melting of the first plastic part 4, the thickness T of the heat sink 3 must be ensured to meet At the same time, , , to ensure that the first plastic part 4 does not have any burns, thereby ensuring the qualified rate of the product.

[0068] In this embodiment, the negative pole post 1 is made of copper, which has a higher thermal conductivity, and the negative pole post 1 does not need to be provided with a fuse safety zone 111. Therefore, on the premise that the other dimensions of the negative pole post 1 are consistent with those of the positive pole, the first plastic part 4 will not be burned or melted at the negative pole.
