[0039] Further, to insulate and isolate the negative upper terminal 21, the negative lower terminal 22 from the negative upper cover plate 31 and the negative lower cover plate 32, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , a sealing ring one 34 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the negative lower cover plate 32 and the inner surface of the plastic plate one 33. A through hole communicating with its inner cavity is formed in the upper end of the negative upper cover plate 31. A sealing ring two 37 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the through hole. Both the sealing ring one 34 and the sealing ring two 37 are made of rubber material, and the insulation resistance is 1012 Ω.

[0040] Further, to connect the negative terminal 2 to the battery cell and provide overload protection, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the negative terminal 2 includes a negative upper terminal 21 and a negative lower terminal 22. The sealing ring two 37 is sleeved on the outer surface of the negative upper terminal 21. The negative upper terminal 21 is in a T shape, and an annular notch is formed on the outer surface of its horizontal part. The inner surface of the annular notch of the negative upper terminal 21 is fixedly connected to the upper end and the inner surface top wall of the negative upper cover plate 31 respectively. The sealing ring one 34 is arranged between the inner surface of the annular notch of the negative lower terminal 22 and the inner surface of the through hole on the negative upper cover plate 31.

Both the plastic plate two 36 and the plastic plate one 33 are made of PPS plastic resistant to electrolytic corrosion.

[0041] In the specific use of the present invention, by setting the groove 321 on the negative electrode lower cover plate 32 and welding the fixing box of the negative electrode upper cover plate 31, the internal structure is compact and stable, and the space is effectively utilized; at the same time, the two ends of the alloy fuse 3511 are welded by laser welding to achieve reliable electrical connection and efficient current conduction; the fuse is wrapped with a polymer film 3513 to prevent sparks from splashing at the moment of melting, thereby enhancing safety; the electrolyte-resistant plastic plate 1 33 and the plastic plate 2 36 seal the upper and lower sides of the negative electrode lower pole 22 to prevent electrolyte erosion and extend the battery life; the current passes through the negative electrode upper pole 21, the overload protection component 35, and the negative electrode lower pole 22 in turn, combined with the sealing ring 1 34, the sealing ring 2 37 and the multi-layer insulation board design to ensure orderly and safe current transmission, avoid leakage short circuit, and improve battery reliability.

[0042] It should be noted that the battery housing 1 has a built-in lithium-ion coil core, which is a conventional battery component. This structure has been widely used in the prior art, and its internal structure, operating principle, wiring, and control method will not be described in detail in the present invention.

[0043] Embodiment 2: Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment provides overload protection for the battery through an overload protection component 35, and uses a conductive sheet 3512 to connect and conduct the alloy fuse 3511 with the negative upper pole 21 and the negative lower pole 22; and uses the effect of a polymer film 3513 to protect the alloy fuse 3511, reduce the impact of external oxidation on the performance of the alloy fuse 3511, and simultaneously use the effect of the polymer film 3513 to wrap the alloy fuse 3511. When the instantaneous current is too large and the alloy fuse 3511 melts, the spark that appears at the moment of the alloy fuse 3511 melting is slowed down to avoid spark splashing and damage to other internal components, thereby improving safety.

[0044] Specifically, to achieve overload protection for the battery, refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 The overload protection component 35 includes a fuse component 351 in a Z shape fixedly connected to the lower end of the negative upper pole 21 and the upper end of the negative lower pole 22; the fuse component 351 includes an alloy fuse 3511, and the upper end of the alloy fuse 3511 is fixedly connected to the negative upper pole 21 and the lower end of the alloy fuse 3511 is fixedly connected to the negative lower pole 22. The outer surface of the alloy fuse 3511 is covered with a polymer film 3513 except for the two conductive sheets 3512.

[0045] The alloy fuse 3511 is made of a copper-silver alloy with a purity of 99.99%. The mass ratio of copper to silver is 85:15. The melting point of the alloy fuse 3511 is 720°C, and the fuse current accuracy is controlled within ±5%. The conductive sheet 3512 is a 0.05-mm polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film;

[0046] When the battery discharges normally, the current is within the rated current range of the alloy fuse 3511, and the alloy fuse 3511 is in a low-resistance state, having no obvious impact on the battery performance. When the external circuit of the battery is short-circuited or rapidly heats up due to the current thermal effect, the alloy fuse 3511 melts within an extremely short time, thus cutting off the current output path and protecting the battery.

[0047] Specifically, the alloy fuse 3511 formed by the copper-silver alloy with the above ratio can ensure excellent conductivity and fusing characteristics in the overcurrent protection of the battery;

[0048] The copper-silver alloy itself has a low resistivity and good electrical conductivity, which helps reduce the energy loss of the battery during normal operation and improve the charge-discharge efficiency of the battery;

[0049] At the same time, the specific mass ratio of copper to silver enables the alloy fuse 3511 to achieve an optimal balance in melting point and fuse current accuracy, and it can melt rapidly when the current abnormally increases, thus effectively protecting the battery from overcurrent damage and enhancing the safety and reliability of the battery.

[0050] The polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film used for the polymer film 3513 has excellent high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and insulation properties;

[0051] The 0.05-mm thickness can ensure the insulation effect while minimizing the occupation of the internal space of the battery, making the battery structure more compact;

[0052] This protective film can effectively prevent sparks from splashing out instantly when the fuse melts, avoiding secondary failures caused by sparks and further enhancing the safety during the use of the battery;

[0053] At the same time, the chemical corrosion resistance of the polytetrafluoroethylene film enables it to resist the erosion of corrosive substances such as the internal electrolyte of the battery, extending the service life of the fuse and ensuring the stability of the battery during long-term use.

[0054] Embodiment 3. On the basis of Embodiment 2, in this embodiment, during the process of the alloy fuse 3511 being melted due to an overload current, by means of the wax rod 352 arranged on the upper part of the negative lower pole 22, the traction force of the elastic pull rope 354 arranged on the upper side of the negative lower pole 22 on the auxiliary rod 353, and the wax rod 352 melted by heating via the alloy fuse 3511 releases the auxiliary rod 353 to make it move rapidly towards the direction where the alloy fuse 3511 is located, and hits and breaks the alloy fuse 3511 that has become soft and melted due to the action of the overload current, accelerating its current interruption process, thereby improving the battery open - circuit efficiency and further enhancing safety.

[0055] Specifically, to accelerate the overload - protection current - interruption action, refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 , at one end of the negative upper pole 21 and the negative lower pole 22 close to each other, two wax rods 352 are fixedly connected symmetrically along the axis of the fusing component 351. An auxiliary rod 353 is jointly arranged on the inner surfaces of the two wax rods 352. Elastic pull ropes 354 are symmetrically and fixedly connected to the outer surface of the auxiliary rod 353 along the wax rods 352. One ends of the two elastic pull ropes 354 far from the auxiliary rod 353 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the negative lower pole 22 through rivets.

[0056] Furthermore, to achieve the synergistic effect of current - interruption assistance and overload fusing, refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 , both sides of the wax rods 352 are in contact with the outer surface of the fusing component 351 and wrap the fusing component 351 inside. The auxiliary rod 353 is horizontally placed on the upper part of the fusing component 351 and its outer surface is wrapped inside by the wax rods 352 on both sides. The elastic pull rope 354 is made of an elastic material and its two ends are not on the same vertical line. The elastic pull rope 354 is in a taut state in the initial state.

[0057] The wax rod 352 is a wax column made of polytetrafluoroethylene, which has good stability at high temperatures and will not decompose or deteriorate. Its melting point is about 260 °C, while the operating temperature range of lithium batteries is generally from - 20 °C to 60 °C. During normal use, the wax rod 352 will not be affected;

[0058] When the alloy fuse 3511 is melted due to an overload current, the wax rod 352 will be melted synchronously by heat. At the same time, the auxiliary rod 353 fixed inside the wax rod 352 will lose its restraint and will be pulled by the elastic pull rope 354 towards the direction of the alloy fuse 3511, thereby impacting the center of the alloy fuse 3511, and then causing the alloy fuse 3511 to interrupt the current in the middle, realizing the current interruption of the negative upper pole 21 and the negative lower pole 22, avoiding damage to the internal battery core in the battery case 1 caused by continuous over - current, and further improving the safety performance and protecting the stability of the battery core.

[0059] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments, and what is described in the above embodiments and the specification is only to illustrate the principle of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements fall within the scope of the present invention claimed. The scope of the present invention claimed is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
