Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of a pole structure for a new energy vehicle battery, and in particular to a double-sealed battery top cover assembly. Background Art
[0002] The battery top cover assembly is an important component of the battery shell of new energy vehicles. It is mainly used to protect the battery cells and liquid in the shell. The battery top cover assembly is also used to connect to the battery cells in the battery shell and conduct electricity. In the existing technology, when installing the electrode column in the assembly hole of the top cover plate, only one sealing ring is generally used to fit the electrode column in the assembly hole of the top cover plate, and then the electrode column is fixed to the top cover plate by laser welding through auxiliary mounting parts. The sealing ring is made of fluororubber. However, the battery top cover assembly assembled in this way has the following defects:
[0003] 1. New energy vehicle batteries need to undergo a battery short-circuit test before they are manufactured. However, a high temperature of 500°C will be generated during the battery short-circuit test. The high temperature will cause the sealing ring to be burned and damaged, and will also cause the seal to fail.
[0004] 2. The sealing effect of a single sealing ring is poor, especially under long-term temperature changes. The sealing ring ages too quickly, causing the sealing ring to deform, resulting in reduced or even failure of the sealing effect of the pole structure on the top cover. When the seal fails, it is very likely that the battery will leak, causing a safety accident. At the same time, impurities such as dust, dirt, or liquid may also enter the battery casing. This type of battery top cover assembly can no longer meet existing usage requirements.
[0005] Therefore, based on the above defects, a double-sealed battery top cover assembly is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

The inner wall of each rib 13 is formed on the upper surface of the top cover plate 1 to form a positioning space 14, and the first upper insulating member 130 and the second upper insulating member 230 are respectively fitted in each positioning space 14; wherein, the ribs 13 can strengthen the strength of the top cover plate 1, so that the deformation of the top cover plate 1 of the new energy vehicle battery equipped with the battery top cover assembly of the present invention is small after inflation, and at the same time, each rib 13 positions the first upper insulating member 130 and the second upper insulating member 230 respectively.
[0070] In this embodiment, Figure 5-Figure 7 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 10 and Figure 12 As shown, connecting ears 214 are integrally formed on the opposite sides of the limiting body 212 and the opposite sides of the annular body 114. The connecting ears 214 are mainly welded and fixed to the pole ears of the battery cell. Its structural setting makes it easier to weld the connecting ears 214 to the pole ears of the battery cell, simplifies the pole ear welding process, and improves the work efficiency of assembling the battery top cover assembly to the battery.

The opposite sides of the limiting body 212 and the opposite sides of the annular body 114 are further formed with locking protrusions 119. There is a position difference between the locking protrusions 119 and the corresponding connecting ears 214, so that the locking protrusions 119 are locked in the locking grooves 22 of the lower insulating member 2. The limiting body 212 and the annular body 114 also abut against the lower surface of the lower insulating member 2; its structural arrangement ensures that the limiting body 212 and the annular body 114 are more reliably insulated from the top cover plate 1. At the same time, the locking protrusion 119 is locked in the locking groove 22 of the lower insulating member 2, so that the first pole body 210 is more stably installed on the top cover plate 1. The locking protrusion 119 is radially arranged on the limiting body 212 and the annular body 114, and the limiting body 212 and the annular body 114 are respectively placed in the limiting grooves 21 on the lower surface of the lower insulating member 2. The limiting groove 21 has two opposite inner walls provided with limiting protrusions 23. The outer side of the limiting body 212 is sunken into the inner recess 24 of the limiting protrusion 23. The other two opposite inner walls in the limiting groove 21 are provided with locking grooves 22.
[0072] Finally, the continuously or discontinuously arranged ribs 13, the outer shape of the outer ring body 131 and the continuously or discontinuously arranged positioning protrusions 133 are all arranged in a square shape, so that after the first upper insulating member 130 is positioned in a positioning space 14 and the aluminum pole 120 is positioned in a space formed by a positioning protrusion 133, the bevel 15 of the aluminum pole 120 corresponds to the bevel 15 of the space formed by the positioning protrusion 133, and the bevel 15 of the positioning space 14 corresponds to the bevel 15 on the outer ring body 131 of the first upper insulating member 130. The second upper insulating member 230 is positioned in another After positioning in the positioning space 14 and the second pole body 220 is positioned in the space formed by another positioning protrusion 133, the bevel 15 of the second pole body 220 is correspondingly matched with the bevel 15 of the space formed by another positioning protrusion 133, and the bevel 15 of the other positioning space 14 is correspondingly matched with the bevel 15 on the outer ring body 131 of the second upper insulating member 230. The above-mentioned structure can prevent the assembled pole and the upper insulating member from rotating, and a cavity 213 is provided on the first convex bulge 113 of the copper conductor 111 and the second convex bulge 211 of the first pole body 210.
