Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of batteries, in particular to a pole, a cell cover plate and a battery. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of battery technology, the cell cover plate is a key component of the battery, which undertakes multiple functions such as current transmission, encapsulation of internal structure and electrical connection. Its performance and quality directly affect the overall performance and service life of the battery. However, the existing cell cover plate still faces many technical challenges in design and actual application.

[0003] Current transmission efficiency is a major problem of the existing cell cover plate. During the charging and discharging process of the battery, the current needs to be transmitted through the pole and other components on the cover plate. However, due to the unreasonable material selection or structure design of some existing poles, the current transmission is hindered, the resistance increases, and the current transmission efficiency is reduced. This not only affects the charging and discharging speed of the battery, but also increases the heat generation inside the battery, accelerates the aging of the battery, and even may cause safety hazards.

[0004] Insufficient structural stability is also a problem that needs to be solved for the existing cell cover plate. The battery will be subjected to various forces during use, such as vibration, impact, etc. If the structural stability of the cell cover plate is insufficient, the pole and other components are prone to looseness, falling off, etc., which may cause electrical connection interruption and affect the normal operation of the battery. In addition, unstable structure may also cause internal short circuit of the battery, leading to safety accidents.

[0005] Low space utilization is also a problem of the existing cell cover plate. With the development of electronic devices towards miniaturization and thinness, the space requirement for batteries is also increasing. However, the design of some existing cell cover plates does not fully consider space optimization, resulting in large space occupation of the pole and other components, limiting the improvement of the overall energy of the battery, and not conducive to meet the market demand for high energy density batteries.

[0006] In summary, the existing cell cover plate has obvious deficiencies in current transmission efficiency, structural stability and space utilization, which seriously affects the performance, safety and reliability of the battery, and restricts the development and application of battery technology. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new type of pole, cell cover plate and battery to improve the overall performance of the battery. SUMMARY

[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a pole, a battery cell cover plate and a battery in view of the technical challenges in the design and actual application of the existing battery cell cover plate, such as low current transmission efficiency, insufficient structural stability, low space utilization, and the like, so as to significantly improve the charging and discharging performance, safety and stability of the battery, and optimize the space layout and cost-effectiveness of the battery.

[0008] The first aspect of the present application provides a pole, comprising: a plate body portion in a flat structure, based on which a length direction, a width direction and a thickness direction are defined, the plate body portion having a first end face and a second end face opposite in the thickness direction, the second end face being provided with a first accommodating groove extending in the width direction, and the plate body portion being provided with a second accommodating groove extending in the thickness direction on each of the two end faces in the width direction; a connecting portion having a planar region and a folded edge region on the two side walls in the width direction of the planar region, the planar region being complementarily embedded in the first accommodating groove, and the folded edge region being complementarily embedded in the second accommodating groove; a column portion arranged on the first end face and extending in the thickness direction.

[0009] The pole design realizes the combination of copper and aluminum materials through the reasonable combination of the plate body portion, the connecting portion and the column portion, which not only ensures the electrical conductivity of the pole, but also reduces the cost and weight. At the same time, the embedding design of the accommodating groove and the folded edge region enhances the structural stability of the pole and improves the current transmission efficiency. This design enables the pole to better play the role of current transmission and structural support in the battery, thereby improving the overall performance of the battery.

[0010] In other embodiments, the plate body portion is provided with a cross rib on the two side walls in the width direction of the second accommodating groove; the folded edge region includes a first folded edge and a second folded edge distributed side by side in the width direction, the folded edge region being in an unfolded state, the first folded edge and the second folded edge being in the same plane; in the combined state of the connecting portion and the plate body portion, the first folded edge and the second folded edge are perpendicular to each other and cover the cross rib, and the second folded edge is located between the side wall in the width direction and the side wall of the plate body portion to form a welded portion by welding.

[0011] The provision of the cross rib increases the strength of the plate body portion, and also provides better positioning and support for the folded edge region of the connecting portion. The covering and welding design of the folded edge region and the cross rib further enhances the structural stability of the pole, reduces the risk of loosening and falling off at the connection, and improves the reliability and service life of the pole.

[0012] In other embodiments, in the thickness direction, the dimension of the end face of the cross rib close to the end face S to the first end face S is h1, the thickness of the cross rib is h2, and the maximum thickness of the plate body portion is h, and satisfy: (h1+h2) / h=0.6~0.75; And / or, the first folded edge 132a has the same width dimension as the height h1 of the transverse rib, and the second folded edge 132b has a width dimension of b, satisfying: 0.5mm≤b≤1.5mm.

[0013] Through a reasonable dimensional proportion design, the transverse ribs are ensured to enhance the strength of the plate without excessively affecting the overall structure. Simultaneously, the appropriate second fold length guarantees the strength and reliability of the welded joint, improving the overall performance of the pole.

[0014] In other embodiments, when the connecting part is in the unfolded state, the flat area and the folded edge area are on the same plane; when the connecting part is in the folded state, the flat area and the folded edge area are arranged perpendicularly.

[0015] This unfolding and folding design facilitates the processing and installation of the connecting parts, allowing them to be better embedded into the plate body and form a stable overall structure. At the same time, the vertical arrangement also improves the overall strength of the pole, enabling it to withstand greater forces and vibrations.

[0016] In other embodiments, the cross-section of the column portion perpendicular to the thickness direction is a racetrack-shaped structure, the straight edge of the racetrack-shaped structure is parallel to the length direction of the plate portion, and the length dimension of the racetrack-shaped structure is m, the width dimension of the column portion is d1, the length dimension of the connecting portion is L, and the distance between the two second receiving grooves in the plate portion in the width direction is d2, and satisfies: L / m=1.5~5; d1 / d2=0.3~0.8.

[0017] The racetrack-shaped column design allows for a more even distribution of stress on the electrode, improving its stability and reliability. Simultaneously, the optimized dimensional proportions ensure the overall performance and structural stability of the electrode, enabling uniform current transmission and preventing structural instability or poor current delivery caused by inappropriate dimensional proportions.

[0018] In other embodiments, both the plate body and the connecting part are made of conductive materials, and the two parts are made of different materials.

[0019] By using plates and connectors made of different materials, the advantages of both metals are combined, ensuring the basic conductivity requirements of the terminals while improving conductivity when connected to the tabs. This design allows the terminals to better perform their current transfer function within the battery, reducing internal resistance and improving charge / discharge performance.

[0020] In other embodiments, the column portion is located at the midpoint between the length and width directions of the plate portion, and the column portion and the plate portion are an integral structure.

[0021] The column portion is located in the middle of the plate portion, allowing for a more even distribution of stress on the pole, thus improving its stability and reliability. The integrated structure design reduces the number of connections, lowering the risk of failure due to poor connections, while also improving production efficiency and reducing assembly steps and errors.

[0022] A second aspect of the present invention provides a battery cell cover plate, comprising: The cover plate body has mounting holes; The aforementioned pole post has a column body that penetrates the mounting hole, and a plate body that has the same length direction, width direction, and thickness direction as the cover plate body, with the plate body located on the first side of the cover plate body in the thickness direction. The rivet block is riveted to the column part on the second side in the thickness direction of the cover plate body; The second plastic part extends around the column portion and on the surface of the cover plate body near the plate portion, and the second plastic part is at least partially located between the cover plate body and the plate portion; A first plastic part is arranged around the column portion and extending on the surface of the cover plate body near the rivet block, and the first plastic part is at least partially located between the cover plate body and the rivet block. A sealing ring is arranged around the column portion and at least partially between the cover plate body and the column portion in annular gap.

[0023] This cell cover, through its rational structural design, including the coordination of the terminal posts, cover body, riveting blocks, first plastic parts, second plastic parts, and sealing rings, achieves multiple functions such as current transmission, encapsulating the internal structure of the battery, and realizing electrical connections. Simultaneously, by optimizing the connection methods and layout between various components, the overall performance and reliability of the cell cover are improved, ensuring the safety and stability of the battery.

[0024] In other embodiments, a groove is arranged on the side of the second plastic part near the plate portion, and the plate portion is embedded in the groove.

[0025] The recessed design allows the plate to be more stably embedded in the second plastic component, enhancing the connection strength between the two. Simultaneously, the recess also provides some positioning for the plate, facilitating positioning and operation during installation. This embedding method reduces the gap between the plate and the second plastic component, improving the overall sealing and stability of the cell cover.

[0026] A third aspect of the present invention provides a battery including the cell cover described above. Applying the cell cover to the battery results in improved battery performance and reliability. As a crucial component of the battery, the design and quality of the cell cover directly affect the overall performance of the battery. By employing the cell cover of the present invention, the charge-discharge performance, safety, and stability of the battery can be effectively improved, extending its lifespan and providing reliable energy support for people's lives and work.

[0039] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0040] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0041] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0042] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0043] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact or indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. Similarly, "below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0044] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0045] The limited use of plate-like structures in related technologies is due to several reasons. Firstly, space occupancy is a significant issue. Plate-like structures have large areas in both length and width, and covering them occupies additional internal battery space. In today's pursuit of miniaturization and high energy density in batteries, internal space is extremely valuable. Excessive space occupied by the coating layer limits battery capacity increases and affects overall battery performance. Secondly, it significantly impacts connection quality. Plate-like structures require tight connections with other components, and the coating layer may interfere with welding or pressing processes during connection. For example, during welding, the coating layer may melt, generating impurities that affect weld quality, increase contact resistance, increase battery internal resistance, reduce charge and discharge efficiency, and may even cause localized overheating. Thirdly, cost is also a factor. Plate-like structures have diverse shapes, and the coating process requires more complex and precise equipment and procedures, undoubtedly increasing production costs. For large-scale production companies, this presents a significant cost pressure. Therefore, considering all factors, related technologies typically only consider coating the cylindrical electrode posts. However, this application primarily studies the coating of plate-like structures, aiming to explore new solutions.

[0046] like Figures 2-11As shown, this embodiment discloses an electrode post, including a plate portion 120, a connecting portion 130, and a pillar portion 110. The plate portion 120 and the pillar portion 110 are made of aluminum, while the connecting portion 130 is made of copper. This composite structure leverages the advantages of aluminum, which is lightweight, relatively low-cost, and has good conductivity. Applying aluminum to the plate portion 120 and the pillar portion 110 can reduce the overall weight of the electrode post and lower production costs while ensuring basic conductivity requirements. Copper, with its superior conductivity, allows the connecting portion 130 to better meet the high conductivity requirements when connected to the tab. This copper-aluminum composite structure combines the advantages of both metals, optimizing cost and weight while ensuring the overall performance of the electrode post, providing strong support for efficient battery operation.

[0047] While some related technologies have featured structures that coat the terminals, these designs mostly focus on the cylindrical portion of the terminal, with coating of plate-like structures being extremely rare. In a battery, the plate-like structure may be the plate-like portion of the terminal itself, or it may be a welded block connecting the terminal to the tab, playing a crucial role in current transmission and structural connection.

[0048] like Figure 7 As shown in Figure 9, the plate portion 120 has a flat structure. The length, width, and thickness directions of the plate portion 120 are defined, meaning it is assumed to be a cuboid structure. This cuboid structure provides better stability and positioning accuracy when the plate portion 120 is connected to other components. During battery assembly, the positional relationships between various components need precise control; the cuboid plate portion 120 allows for easy docking with other components, reducing installation errors.

[0049] Generally speaking, such as Figures 7-9As shown, the plate portion 120 is a welding block or connecting block used to connect the columnar pole to the pole lug, and its structure is a rectangular plate structure. The rectangular plate structure design gives the plate portion 120 a large contact area, providing more welding positions when welding with the pole lug and enhancing the weld's strength. At the same time, this structure is also conducive to the uniform distribution of current, reducing the heat generation problem caused by excessive local current. The plate portion 120 has a first end face S1 and a second end face S2 opposite each other in the thickness direction. The second end face S2 has a first receiving groove 121a extending in the width direction. It can be understood that a groove is formed by cutting a portion of the structure in the thickness direction on the second end face S2, which is the first receiving groove 121a in this application. The first receiving groove 121a is provided to fit with the connecting portion 130. Through this fitting structure, the connection strength between the plate portion 120 and the connecting portion 130 can be enhanced, preventing loosening or detachment during use. Moreover, this interlocking method can reduce contact resistance at the connection point and improve current transmission efficiency.

[0050] like Figure 9 As shown, a second receiving groove 121b extending along the thickness direction is formed on both end faces of the plate portion 120 in the width direction. The second receiving groove 121b cooperates with the first receiving groove 121a to provide installation space for the connecting portion 130. This multi-groove design allows the connecting portion 130 to be more stably embedded in the plate portion 120, further improving the reliability of the connection. At the same time, the presence of multiple receiving grooves also helps to disperse the stress at the connection point, reducing structural damage caused by stress concentration.

[0051] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the connecting portion 130 in this embodiment has a planar region 131 and folded edge regions 132 on both side walls of the planar region 131 in the width direction. The planar region 131 is complementaryly embedded in the first receiving groove 121a, and the folded edge regions 132 are complementaryly embedded in the second receiving groove 121b. This allows the plate portion 120 and the connecting portion 130 to form a complete cuboid structure after connection, meaning that all six surfaces of the plate portion 120 and the connecting portion 130 are smooth planes. This complete cuboid structure is not only aesthetically pleasing, but more importantly, it reduces friction and interference with other components, improving the overall performance of the battery. The smooth surface reduces resistance during current transmission, reducing energy loss. Simultaneously, it also facilitates battery heat dissipation, preventing localized overheating from affecting battery life and safety.

[0052] In this embodiment, both the plate portion 120 and the connecting portion 130 are made of conductive materials, and the materials of the two are different, which is determined according to the positive and negative poles of the electrode group they are in. Taking the pole being located at the negative pole of the electrode group as an example, the negative pole tab is usually made of copper. At this time, the plate portion 120 is made of aluminum, while the connecting portion 130 is made of copper. The tab welding area is located on the connecting portion 130. Metals of the same material have a better welding effect, which can effectively reduce the resistance at the welding point, improve the current transmission efficiency, reduce the internal resistance of the battery, and improve the charging and discharging performance of the battery.

[0053] like Figures 1-6 As shown, since the connecting part 130 only covers a portion of the plate body 120 and does not completely cover the entire bottom surface of the connecting part 130, and the plate body 120 extends into a tab in the length direction for addressing during welding, the length direction of the plate body 120 cannot be completely filled with welding, leaving a certain width for welding positioning deviation. This structure also facilitates positioning with the aluminum part during copper plate assembly, avoiding misalignment. This structural design fully considers the operational needs of the actual welding process. During welding, a certain amount of space is required for positioning and adjustment to ensure welding accuracy. The tab extending from the plate body 120 in the length direction provides just such space. At the same time, this structure also facilitates the assembly between the copper plate (connecting part 130) and the aluminum plate (plate body 120). Through reasonable positioning design, misalignment between the two can be avoided during assembly, ensuring the overall quality and performance of the pole.

[0054] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the plate portion 120 and the connecting portion 130 form a complete cuboid structure through interlocking, which also optimizes space. This allows for the composite use of copper and aluminum materials within a limited space, and also enables the copper connecting portion 130 to be connected to the electrode tab of the same material. In battery design, space is usually very limited. This copper-aluminum composite structure, with its interlocking terminal forming a complete cuboid structure, makes full use of the limited space and achieves a reasonable composite of copper and aluminum materials. Simultaneously, connecting the copper connecting portion 130 to the electrode tab of the same material ensures efficient current transmission and improves battery performance. This space-optimized design is of great significance for miniaturized, high-performance battery products.

[0055] like Figures 1-6As shown, in this embodiment, the column portion 110 is disposed on the first end face S1 and extends in the thickness direction. The projection of the column portion 110 in the thickness direction is located within the coverage area of ​​the second receiving groove 121b, which is beneficial to improving current flow efficiency. Because the connecting portion 130 is welded to the electrode tab, current is transmitted from the connecting portion 130. Since the projection of the column portion 110 in the thickness direction is exactly located at the connecting portion 130, the path of current transmission from the connecting portion 130 to the column portion 110 is more direct and smooth. This design reduces the detours and obstacles in the current transmission process, lowers the resistance, and improves the current transmission efficiency. It can improve the charging and discharging speed of the battery, reduce energy loss, and extend the battery's lifespan.

[0056] In this embodiment, as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the first receiving groove 121a and the second receiving groove 121b are aligned and connected to form a receiving groove group 121 with a U-shaped cross-section. The connecting part 130 is folded to form a U-shaped structure that is complementary to the shape of the receiving groove group 121, and the connecting part 130 is embedded into the receiving groove group 121 and fixed by welding to form a whole. The design of the U-shaped receiving groove group 121 and the complementary connecting part 130 makes the fit between the two tighter and more stable. The U-shaped connecting part 130 formed by folding can be better embedded into the receiving groove group 121 and forms a whole after welding. This whole structure has higher strength and stability, can withstand various forces and vibrations during battery use, and ensure the normal operation of the terminal. At the same time, this design also helps to improve production efficiency and reduce errors in the assembly process.

[0057] In this embodiment, as Figures 8-9As shown, the plate portion 120 has transverse ribs 122 on both side walls in the width direction of the second receiving groove 121b; simultaneously, the folded edge area 132 includes a first folded edge 132a and a second folded edge 132b arranged side by side in the width direction. When the folded edge area 132 is in the unfolded state, the first folded edge 132a and the second folded edge 132b are on the same plane; when the connecting portion 130 and the plate portion 120 are in the combined state, the first folded edge 132a and the second folded edge 132b are perpendicular to each other and cover the transverse ribs 122, and the second folded edge 132b is welded to the side wall in the width direction of the plate portion 120 to form a welded portion 140. The provision of transverse ribs 122 increases the strength of the two side walls in the width direction of the plate portion 120 in the second receiving groove 121b, and also provides better positioning and support for the folded edge area 132 of the connecting portion 130. When the connecting part 130 is combined with the plate part 120, the first folded edge 132a and the second folded edge 132b are perpendicular to each other and cover the transverse rib 122. This structure can further enhance the connection strength between the two. The second folded edge 132b is welded to the side wall of the plate part 120 to form a welded part 140, which makes the connection more secure, reduces the risk of loosening and falling off at the connection, improves the reliability and service life of the pole, and at the same time improves the connection effect of the two through welding, increases the conductivity, and prevents the charging and discharging temperature from being too high.

[0058] like Figure 5 As shown, in the thickness direction, the dimension from the end face of the transverse rib 122 near the first end face S1 to the first end face S1 is h1, the thickness of the transverse rib 122 is h2, and the maximum thickness of the plate body 120 is h, satisfying: (h1 + h2) / h = 0.6~0.75. This ensures that the transverse rib 122 enhances the strength of the plate body 120 without causing excessive impact on the overall structure of the plate body 120. A suitable dimensional ratio allows the transverse rib 122 to play its maximum role when bearing external forces, while ensuring that other parts of the plate body 120 can function normally. If the dimensional ratio is inappropriate, it may lead to insufficient strength of the transverse rib 122 or excessive local thickness of the plate body 120, affecting the performance and installation of the pole.

[0059] In this embodiment, the following condition is also satisfied: h2 = h - 2h1, because the height of h1 is basically equal to the thickness of the planar area 131, and the thickness of the folded area 132 is the same as that of the planar area 131. Therefore, it can be concluded that h2 = h - 2h1.

[0060] like Figure 5As shown, the first folded edge 132a has the same width dimension as the height h1 of the horizontal rib 122, and the second folded edge 132b has a width dimension of b, satisfying: 0.5mm ≤ b ≤ 1.5mm. The fact that the first folded edge 132a has the same width dimension as the height h1 of the horizontal rib 122 allows them to fit perfectly together, enhancing the stability of the connection. The limitation on the width dimension b of the second folded edge 132b is to ensure the strength and reliability of the welded part 140. If b is too small, the welding area will be insufficient, potentially leading to a weak weld; if b is too large, it may increase the weight and cost of the connecting part 130, and also affect the overall structure of the pole.

[0061] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in this embodiment, when the connecting part 130 is in the unfolded state, the planar area 131 and the folded edge area 132 are on the same plane; when the connecting part 130 is in the folded state, the planar area 131 and the folded edge area 132 are perpendicularly arranged. This design of unfolded and folded states facilitates the processing and installation of the connecting part 130. During processing, the connecting part 130 can be produced in the unfolded state, facilitating various processing operations. During installation, it is folded into a U-shaped structure that complements the shape of the receiving groove assembly 121, allowing for better embedding into the plate body 120. The perpendicular arrangement of the planar area 131 and the folded edge area 132 enables the connecting part 130 to better withstand external forces after assembly, improving the overall strength of the pole.

[0062] In this embodiment, as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, a V-groove 133 is provided between the flat area 131 and the folded edge area 132 in the connecting part 130; a V-groove 133 is provided between the first folded edge 132a and the second folded edge 132b, which facilitates folding, improves the folding effect, and makes the connection between the two more compact. At the same time, since the thickness of the connecting part 130 is usually 0.5mm-1.5mm, which is very thin, and the metal has ductility, the folded connecting part 130 can be engaged with the plate part 120.

[0063] like Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the cross-section of the column portion 110 perpendicular to the thickness direction is a racetrack-shaped structure. The straight edge of the racetrack-shaped structure is parallel to the length direction of the plate portion 120, and the spacing of the racetrack-shaped structure in the length direction is m. Since the racetrack-shaped structure includes a straight edge and a protective edge, the dimension in the width direction of the racetrack-shaped structure is not unique. In this application, m is the spacing of the racetrack-shaped structure in the centerline region in the length direction. The spacing of the column portion 110 in the width direction is d1. Similarly, in this embodiment, d1 is the width of the centerline region of the column portion 110. The dimension of the connecting portion 130 in the length direction is L, and the spacing of the two second receiving grooves 121b in the plate portion 120 in the width direction is d2, satisfying: L / m = 1.5~5; d1 / d2 = 0.3~0.8. The straight edge of the column portion 110 of the racetrack-shaped structure is parallel to the length direction of the plate portion 120, which can better connect and cooperate with the plate portion 120. The size ratio is limited to ensure the overall performance and structural stability of the pole. A ratio of L / m = 1.5~5 ensures a suitable dimensional match between the connecting part 130 and the pole part 110 in the width direction, guaranteeing uniform current transmission. A ratio of d1 / d2 = 0.3~0.8 considers the dimensional coordination between the pole part 110 and the plate part 120 in the length direction, avoiding structural instability or poor current transmission caused by unsuitable size ratios.

[0064] In this embodiment, the column portion 110 is located at the midpoint of the length and width directions of the plate portion 120, and the column portion 110 and the plate portion 120 are an integral structure. The central position of the column portion 110 in the plate portion 120 allows for a more uniform stress distribution on the pole when under load, improving the stability and reliability of the pole. The integral structure design reduces the number of connections, lowering the risk of failure due to poor connections. Simultaneously, the integral structure also improves production efficiency, reducing assembly processes and errors.

[0065] In this embodiment, h2 = h - 2h1; (h1 + h2) / h = 0.6~0.75. To test whether the push-pull force of the pole composed of different connection thicknesses and the highest temperature during charging at the same charging rate meet the requirements for cell use, the following embodiments and comparative examples are used to illustrate this: Example 1 In this embodiment, the thickness of the electrode base plate is h=2mm. The performance of the electrode with different thicknesses h1 is tested to ensure that the electrode push-pull force is ≥1000N and the maximum charging temperature is ≤55℃. Refer to Table 1 and the following: Comparative Example 1-1 In the thickness direction, the dimension h1 from the end face of the transverse rib 122 closest to the first end face S1 to the first end face S1 is 0.42 mm, the thickness h2 of the transverse rib 122 is 1.16 mm, and the maximum thickness h of the plate body 120 is 2 mm. The calculated value of (h1 + h2) / h is 0.79. Under these parameter settings, the push-pull force of the electrode reaches 1323 N, and the temperature rise of the electrode is 56.6 °C. This indicates that at this size ratio, the electrode can withstand a relatively large push-pull force, but the temperature rise is also relatively high, which may have a certain impact on the long-term stability and safety of the battery.

[0066] Comparative Examples 1-2 Compared to Comparative Example 1, h1 becomes 0.44 mm, h2 becomes 1.12 mm, and h remains 2 mm. At this point, (h1 + h2) / h = 0.78. The push-pull force of the pole piece decreases to 1293 N, and the pole piece temperature rise is 56.2 °C. It can be seen that with a slight increase in h1 and a corresponding decrease in h2, the push-pull force of the pole piece decreases, and the temperature rise also decreases slightly. This indicates that this change in the transverse rib size has a certain comprehensive impact on the pole piece performance.

[0067] Comparative Examples 1-3 h1 further increases to 0.46 mm, h2 decreases to 1.08 mm, and h remains at 2 mm, (h1 + h2) / h = 0.77. The push-pull force of the electrode continues to decrease to 1267 N, and the temperature rise of the electrode is 55.7 °C. This further verifies that as h1 increases and h2 decreases, the push-pull force of the electrode decreases, and the temperature rise also decreases, but the decrease is relatively small.

[0068] Comparative Examples 1-4 When h1 is 0.48 mm, h2 is 1.04 mm, and h is 2 mm, (h1 + h2) / h = 0.76. The push-pull force of the pole piece decreases to 1221 N, and the temperature rise of the pole piece is 55.3 °C. Continuous parameter changes cause the push-pull force of the pole piece to decrease continuously, and the temperature rise also decreases slowly in tandem, showing a linear correlation between the transverse rib size and the performance of the pole piece.

[0069] Example 1-1 h1 is 0.5mm, h2 is 1mm, h is 2mm, and (h1 + h2) / h = 0.75. At this point, the terminal push-pull force is 1178N, and the terminal temperature rise is 55℃. Compared to the aforementioned comparative example, Example 1-1 continues the parameter adjustment along the direction of increasing h1 and decreasing h2, further reducing the terminal push-pull force and temperature rise. This indicates that such parameter adjustment has a certain effect on optimizing battery performance, but the relationship between push-pull force and temperature rise needs to be balanced.

[0070] Examples 1-2 h1 increases to 0.54 mm, h2 decreases to 0.92 mm, h is 2 mm, and (h1 + h2) / h = 0.73. The terminal push-pull force is 1104 N, and the terminal temperature rise is 54.6 °C. With further changes in parameters, the terminal push-pull force and temperature rise continue to decrease, indicating that adjusting the transverse rib size within a reasonable range can improve the battery's temperature rise performance, but it will also sacrifice some terminal push-pull force.

[0071] Examples 1-3 h1 is 0.58 mm, h2 is 0.84 mm, h is 2 mm, and (h1 + h2) / h = 0.71. The push-pull force of the electrode pillar decreases to 1053 N, and the temperature rise of the electrode pillar is 54.1 °C. It can be seen that as the value of (h1 + h2) / h continues to decrease, both the push-pull force and the temperature rise of the electrode pillar gradually decrease. This provides a direction for the optimization of parameters in battery structure design, namely, balancing the mechanical and thermal properties of the electrode pillar by adjusting the proportion of the transverse rib dimensions.

[0072] Examples 1-4 h1 is 0.8 mm, h2 is 0.4 mm, h is 2 mm, and (h1 + h2) / h = 0.6. The terminal push-pull force is 1000 N, and the terminal temperature rise is 53.3 °C. Compared with the previous comparative examples and embodiments, the (h1 + h2) / h value in Examples 1-4 is significantly reduced, and the terminal push-pull force also decreases accordingly to 1000 N, but the temperature rise is reduced to 53.3 °C. This indicates that after reaching a certain parameter range, further adjusting the transverse rib size can further optimize the temperature rise performance to a certain extent, but it is necessary to closely monitor the changes in the terminal push-pull force to ensure the mechanical reliability of the battery structure.

[0073] Comparative Examples 1-5 h1 is 0.82 mm, h2 is 0.36 mm, h is 2 mm, and (h1 + h2) / h = 0.59. The terminal push-pull force is 983 N, and the terminal temperature rise is 52.4 °C. Compared with Examples 1-4, h1 continues to increase, h2 continues to decrease, the (h1 + h2) / h value further decreases, and the terminal push-pull force also drops below 1000 N. Although the temperature rise is somewhat reduced, the reduction is relatively smaller. This indicates that when the (h1 + h2) / h value decreases to a certain extent, the optimization effect on temperature rise gradually weakens. At the same time, the decrease in terminal push-pull force may have an adverse impact on battery life and safety.

[0074] Comparative Examples 1-6 h1 is 0.84 mm, h2 is 0.32 mm, h is 2 mm, and (h1 + h2) / h = 0.58. The terminal push-pull force is 943 N, and the terminal temperature rise is 51.3 °C. With further changes in parameters, the terminal push-pull force continues to decrease, and the temperature rise also decreases. However, the overall trend shows that further reducing the (h1 + h2) / h value has limited effect on improving the temperature rise, and the decrease in terminal push-pull force may become a key factor restricting battery performance.

[0075] Comparative Examples 1-7 h1 is 0.85mm, h2 is 0.3mm, h is 2mm, and (h1 + h2) / h = 0.575. The terminal push-pull force is 903N, and the terminal temperature rise is 50.7℃. It can be seen that the terminal push-pull force has decreased to a low level, while the temperature rise reduction is not significant. This indicates that under the current parameter adjustment direction, continuing to pursue a further reduction in temperature rise may lead to the terminal push-pull force failing to meet the requirements for normal battery operation.

[0076] Comparative Examples 1-8 h1 is 0.87mm, h2 is 0.26mm, h is 2mm, and (h1 + h2) / h = 0.565. The push-pull force of the terminal post is 869N, and the temperature rise of the terminal post is 50.2℃. At this point, the push-pull force of the terminal post is already at a relatively low value, but the effect of reducing the temperature rise is not ideal. This indicates that excessively reducing the value of (h1 + h2) / h cannot effectively balance the mechanical and thermal properties of the terminal post, and may instead lead to a decrease in the overall performance of the battery.

[0077] Table 1

[0078] Example 2 In this embodiment, the thickness of the electrode base plate is h=2.5mm. The performance of the electrode with different thicknesses h1 was tested to ensure that the electrode push-pull force is ≥1200N and the maximum charging temperature is ≤55℃. Refer to Table 2 and the following: Comparative Example 2-1 In this comparative example, h1 is 0.5mm, h2 is 1.5mm, and h is 2.5mm. The calculated value of (h1 + h2) / h is 0.80. Under these parameter settings, the terminal push-pull force reached 1521N, and the terminal temperature rise was 56.8℃. This indicates that at this size scale, the terminal has a relatively strong push-pull force resistance. However, the high temperature rise may pose a potential threat to the long-term stable operation and safety of the battery, as excessively high temperatures may accelerate the aging of internal battery materials and affect battery life.

[0079] Comparative Example 2-2 Compared to Comparative Example 2-1, h1 increases to 0.53 mm, h2 decreases to 1.44 mm, and h remains unchanged at 2.5 mm. At this point, (h1 + h2) / h = 0.79. The push-pull force of the pole piece decreases to 1498 N, and the pole piece temperature rise is 56.4 °C. It can be seen that with a slight increase in h1 and a corresponding decrease in h2, the push-pull force of the pole piece decreases, and the temperature rise also decreases slightly. This indicates that this fine-tuning of the transverse rib dimensions has a comprehensive impact on the pole piece performance, affecting both mechanical strength and thermal properties.

[0080] Comparative Examples 2-3 h1 further increases to 0.56 mm, h2 decreases to 1.38 mm, and h remains at 2.5 mm, (h1 + h2) / h = 0.78. The push-pull force of the electrode post continues to decrease to 1469 N, and the temperature rise of the electrode post is 55.6℃. This further verifies that as h1 increases and h2 decreases, the push-pull force of the electrode post decreases, while the temperature rise also decreases synchronously, but the decrease is relatively small. This indicates that the effect of this parameter change on the electrode post performance is a gradual process.

[0081] Comparative Examples 2-4 When h1 is 0.6 mm, h2 is 1.3 mm, and h is 2.5 mm, (h1 + h2) / h = 0.76. The push-pull force of the pole piece decreases to 1412 N, and the temperature rise of the pole piece is 55.2 °C. Continuous parameter changes cause the push-pull force of the pole piece to decrease continuously, and the temperature rise also decreases, showing a certain linear correlation between the transverse rib size and the pole piece performance. However, this trend is not absolutely linear and is also potentially affected by other factors.

[0082] Example 2-1 h1 is 0.63mm, h2 is 1.24mm, h is 2.5mm, and (h1 + h2) / h = 0.75. At this point, the terminal push-pull force is 1371N, and the terminal temperature rise is 55℃. Compared to the aforementioned comparative example, Example 2-1 continues to adjust the parameters along the direction of increasing h1 and decreasing h2, further reducing the terminal push-pull force and temperature rise. This indicates that adjusting the transverse rib size within a reasonable range can optimize the battery's temperature rise performance, but it also sacrifices some terminal push-pull force; a balance needs to be struck between the two.

[0083] Example 2-2 h1 increases to 0.77 mm, h2 decreases to 0.96 mm, h is 2.5 mm, and (h1 + h2) / h = 0.69. The terminal push-pull force is 1314 N, and the terminal temperature rise is 54.4 °C. With further changes in parameters, the terminal push-pull force and temperature rise continue to decrease, indicating that adjusting the proportion of transverse rib dimensions can improve the battery's thermal performance to some extent. However, it is also important to monitor whether the decrease in mechanical performance is within an acceptable range to ensure the safety and reliability of the battery structure.

[0084] Example 2-3 h1 is 0.9 mm, h2 is 0.7 mm, h is 2.5 mm, and (h1 + h2) / h = 0.64. The push-pull force of the electrode drops to 1253 N, and the temperature rise of the electrode is 54 °C. It can be seen that as the value of (h1 + h2) / h continues to decrease, both the push-pull force and the temperature rise of the electrode gradually decrease. This provides a direction for the optimization of parameters in battery structure design, namely, balancing the mechanical and thermal properties of the electrode by reasonably adjusting the proportion of the transverse rib size, but it is necessary to precisely control the range of parameter changes.

[0085] Examples 2-4 h1 is 1 mm, h2 is 0.5 mm, h is 2.5 mm, and (h1 + h2) / h = 0.60. The terminal push-pull force is 1200 N, and the terminal temperature rise is 53.3 °C. Compared with the previous comparative examples and embodiments, the (h1 + h2) / h value in Examples 2-4 is significantly reduced, and the terminal push-pull force also decreases accordingly to 1200 N, but the temperature rise is reduced to 53.3 °C. This indicates that after reaching a certain parameter range, further adjusting the transverse rib size can further optimize the temperature rise performance to a certain extent. However, it is necessary to closely monitor the changes in the terminal push-pull force to ensure that the mechanical reliability of the battery structure can meet the requirements of actual use.

[0086] Comparative Examples 2-5 h1 is 1.03 mm, h2 is 0.44 mm, h is 2.5 mm, and (h1 + h2) / h = 0.59. The terminal push-pull force is 1181 N, and the terminal temperature rise is 52.2 °C. Compared with Examples 2-4, h1 continues to increase, h2 continues to decrease, the (h1 + h2) / h value further decreases, and the terminal push-pull force also drops below 1200 N. Although the temperature rise is somewhat reduced, the reduction is relatively smaller. This indicates that when the (h1 + h2) / h value decreases to a certain extent, the optimization effect on temperature rise gradually weakens. At the same time, the decrease in terminal push-pull force may have an adverse impact on battery life and safety, requiring a new balance between performance optimization and structural safety.

[0087] Comparative Examples 2-6 h1 is 1.05mm, h2 is 0.4mm, h is 2.5mm, and (h1 + h2) / h = 0.58. The terminal push-pull force is 1127N, and the terminal temperature rise is 51.1℃. With further changes in parameters, the terminal push-pull force continues to decrease, and the temperature rise also decreases. However, the overall trend shows that further reducing the (h1 + h2) / h value has limited effect on improving the temperature rise, and the decrease in terminal push-pull force may become a key factor restricting battery performance, requiring a reassessment of the rationality and feasibility of parameter adjustments.

[0088] Comparative Examples 2-7 h1 is 1.07mm, h2 is 0.36mm, h is 2.5mm, and (h1 + h2) / h = 0.57. The terminal push-pull force is 1087N, and the terminal temperature rise is 50.3℃. It can be seen that the terminal push-pull force has decreased to a low level, while the temperature rise reduction is not significant. This indicates that continuing to pursue a lower temperature rise under the current parameter adjustment direction may lead to the terminal push-pull force failing to meet the requirements for normal battery operation, necessitating a change in the parameter adjustment strategy.

[0089] Comparative Examples 2-8 h1 is 1.09 mm, h2 is 0.32 mm, h is 2.5 mm, and (h1 + h2) / h = 0.56. The push-pull force of the terminal post is 1021 N, and the temperature rise of the terminal post is 49.5℃. At this point, the push-pull force of the terminal post is already at a relatively low value, but the effect of reducing the temperature rise is not ideal. This indicates that excessively reducing the value of (h1 + h2) / h cannot effectively balance the mechanical and thermal properties of the terminal post, and may even lead to a decrease in the overall performance of the battery. It is necessary to re-examine the parameter selection principles of the battery structure design.

[0090] As shown in Table 2, data analysis of the above comparative examples and embodiments clearly demonstrates that the proportional relationship (h1 + h2) / h between the transverse rib dimensions h1 and h2 and the plate thickness h has a significant impact on the electrode push-pull force and electrode temperature rise. As the value of (h1 + h2) / h gradually decreases, the electrode push-pull force generally shows a downward trend, and the electrode temperature rise also decreases accordingly, but the rate of decrease gradually diminishes. In actual battery structure design, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the mechanical and thermal properties of the electrode to find a suitable range of (h1 + h2) / h values ​​to optimize battery performance.

[0091] Table 2

[0092] Example 3 In this embodiment, the thickness of the electrode base plate is h=1.8mm. The performance of the electrode with different thicknesses h1 was tested to ensure that the electrode push-pull force is ≥800N and the maximum charging temperature is ≤55℃. Refer to Table 3 and the following: Comparative Example 3-1 h1 is 0.37mm, h2 is 1.06mm, and h is fixed at 1.8mm. The calculated ratio of (h1 + h2) / h is 0.79. At this point, the push-pull force of the electrode reaches 1123N, demonstrating relatively strong mechanical load-bearing capacity; simultaneously, the electrode temperature rises to 56.8℃, indicating that under normal operating conditions, the electrode will generate a certain degree of heat accumulation.

[0093] Comparative Example 3-2 Compared to Comparative Example 3-1, h1 was slightly adjusted to 0.39 mm, h2 was correspondingly reduced to 1.02 mm, and h remained unchanged at 1.8 mm. The value of (h1 + h2) / h became 0.78. At this point, the push-pull force of the electrode decreased to 1043 N, a significant reduction; while the temperature rise of the electrode decreased to 56.2℃, showing some improvement, but the magnitude was relatively small. This indicates that the slight increase in h1 and the simultaneous decrease in h2 both affected the mechanical and thermal properties of the electrode, with the decrease in mechanical properties being more significant.

[0094] Comparative Example 3-3 h1 increases to 0.41 mm, h2 further decreases to 0.98 mm, and h remains at 1.8 mm, (h1 + h2) / h = 0.77. The electrode push-pull force continues to decline to 997 N, while the electrode temperature rises to 55.6 °C. It can be seen that as the inverse changes in h1 and h2 continue, both the electrode push-pull force and the temperature rise show a decreasing trend, but the rate of temperature decrease is relatively slow, indicating that within the current parameter adjustment range, the optimization effect on temperature rise is limited.

[0095] Comparative Examples 3-4 When h1 is 0.43 mm, h2 is 0.94 mm, and h is 1.8 mm, (h1 + h2) / h = 0.76. The push-pull force of the electrode post decreases to 965 N, and the temperature rise of the electrode post is 55.2 °C. Compared with the previous comparative examples, this parameter change trend continues, with the push-pull force of the electrode post continuously decreasing and the temperature rise also decreasing. However, the overall change rate gradually flattens out, suggesting that the effect of parameter adjustment on electrode post performance may have a marginal effect.

[0096] Example 3-1 In the implementation phase, h1 was adjusted to 0.45 mm, h2 to 0.9 mm, and h remained at 1.8 mm, with (h1 + h2) / h = 0.75. At this point, the electrode push-pull force was 905 N, and the electrode temperature rise was 55 °C. Compared to the aforementioned comparative example, Example 3-1 further explored parameter optimization, with the electrode push-pull force continuing to decrease, and the temperature rise also slightly decreasing. This indicates that adjusting parameters within a reasonable range can balance the mechanical and thermal properties of the electrode to a certain extent, but the magnitude of parameter changes needs to be precisely controlled.

[0097] Example 3-2 When h1 increases to 0.52 mm, h2 decreases to 0.76 mm, and h becomes 1.8 mm, (h1 + h2) / h = 0.71. The electrode push-pull force decreases to 879 N, and the electrode temperature rise is 54.4 °C. With increasing parameter adjustment, the electrode push-pull force further decreases, and the temperature rise decreases more significantly. This indicates that within a certain parameter range, by reasonably adjusting the ratio of h1 to h2, the temperature rise characteristics of the electrode can be effectively improved, but at the same time, a certain loss of mechanical properties must be tolerated.

[0098] Example 3-3 h1 is 0.6 mm, h2 is 0.6 mm, h is 1.8 mm, and (h1 + h2) / h = 0.67. The electrode push-pull force is 856 N, and the electrode temperature rise is 54.1 °C. Under these parameter settings, the electrode push-pull force and temperature rise continue to show a decreasing trend, but the rate of decrease has slowed down. This indicates that as the parameters are adjusted further, the sensitivity of the electrode performance to parameter changes gradually decreases, requiring more precise parameter adjustments to achieve further performance optimization.

[0099] Examples 3-4 h1 is 0.72mm, h2 is 0.36mm, h is 1.8mm, and (h1 + h2) / h = 0.60. The terminal push-pull force is reduced to 800N, and the terminal temperature rise is 53.6℃. Compared with the previous embodiment, the value of (h1 + h2) / h is significantly reduced under this set of parameters, and the terminal push-pull force is also reduced to 800N accordingly, while the temperature rise is reduced to 53.6℃. This shows that after the parameters are adjusted to a certain extent, the optimization effect on temperature rise still exists, but the impact of the reduction in terminal push-pull force on the overall mechanical reliability of the battery needs to be weighed.

[0100] Comparative Examples 3-5 h1 is 0.74 mm, h2 is 0.32 mm, h is 1.8 mm, and (h1 + h2) / h = 0.59. The terminal push-pull force is 783 N, and the terminal temperature rise is 52.7 °C. Compared with Examples 3-4, h1 continues to increase, h2 continues to decrease, and the (h1 + h2) / h value further decreases. The terminal push-pull force drops below 800 N, and although the temperature rise decreases somewhat, the reduction is relatively smaller. This indicates that when the parameters are adjusted to a certain limit, the effect of further reducing the (h1 + h2) / h value on optimizing the temperature rise gradually weakens. At the same time, the decrease in the terminal push-pull force may pose a potential threat to the battery's lifespan and safety.

[0101] Comparative Examples 3-6 h1 is 0.76mm, h2 is 0.28mm, h is 1.8mm, and (h1 + h2) / h = 0.58. The terminal push-pull force is 748N, and the terminal temperature rise is 51.7℃. With further extreme adjustments to the parameters, the terminal push-pull force continues to decrease, and the temperature rise also decreases. However, the overall trend shows that continuing to pursue a reduction in temperature rise may cause the terminal push-pull force to fail to meet the minimum mechanical requirements for normal battery use, thereby affecting the overall performance and reliability of the battery.

[0102] Comparative Examples 3-7 h1 is 0.77mm, h2 is 0.26mm, h is 1.8mm, and (h1 + h2) / h = 0.57. The terminal push-pull force is 723N, and the terminal temperature rise is 50.8℃. It can be seen that the terminal push-pull force has decreased to a low level, while the temperature rise reduction is not significant. This indicates that under the current parameter adjustment direction, excessively pursuing a reduction in temperature rise is no longer practically meaningful and may even lead to serious damage to the battery's mechanical properties.

[0103] Comparative Examples 3-8 h1 is 0.79mm, h2 is 0.22mm, h is 1.8mm, and (h1 + h2) / h = 0.56. The push-pull force of the terminal post is 689N, and the temperature rise of the terminal post is 50.5℃. At this point, the push-pull force of the terminal post is already at an extremely low value, and the effect of reducing the temperature rise is almost negligible. This fully demonstrates that excessively reducing the value of (h1 + h2) / h cannot effectively balance the mechanical and thermal properties of the terminal post. On the contrary, it will cause a significant decrease in the overall performance of the battery, and may even prevent it from working properly.

[0104] As shown in Table 3, through comprehensive data analysis of the above comparative examples and embodiments, it can be clearly concluded that the proportional relationship (h1 + h2) / h between the transverse rib dimensions h1 and h2 and the plate thickness h has a significant impact on the electrode push-pull force and electrode temperature rise. As the value of (h1 + h2) / h gradually decreases, the electrode push-pull force generally shows a downward trend, and the electrode temperature rise also decreases accordingly, but the rate of decrease gradually diminishes and there is a marginal effect. In actual battery structure design, the mechanical and thermal properties of the electrode must be comprehensively considered to find an optimal range of (h1 + h2) / h values.

[0105] Table 3

[0106] As shown in Table 3, the above cases show that when (h1+h2) / h = 0.6~0.75, the test pole push-pull force and the highest temperature during charging at the same charging rate meet the requirements for cell use; when (h1+h2) / h > 0.75, the connection part is thinner, the conductivity is poorer, and the temperature rise is higher; since the pole body mainly affects the mechanical properties of the pole, when (h1+h2) / h < 0.6, the thickness of the pole body base plate is thinner (h1+h2), and the push-pull force does not meet the requirements.

[0107] Example 4 like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment discloses a battery cell cover plate, comprising: The cover plate body 200 has mounting holes; the mounting holes arranged along the thickness direction provide a position for the installation of the pole post 100. The design of the mounting holes needs to take into account the size and shape of the pole post 100 to ensure that the pole post 100 can be accurately installed in them.

[0108] In this embodiment, the electrode post 100 has a column portion 110 that penetrates the mounting hole, and a plate portion 120 that has the same length, width, and thickness direction as the cover plate body 200. The plate portion 120 is located on one side of the cover plate body 200 in the thickness direction. When the electrode post 100 from embodiments one through three is applied to the cell cover plate, the column portion 110 penetrates the mounting hole, allowing the electrode post 100 to connect with the cover plate body 200. The plate portion 120 and the cover plate body 200 have the same direction, facilitating positioning and operation during installation and use. The plate portion 120 is located on the first side of the cover plate body 200 in the thickness direction; this layout is beneficial for current transmission and connection with other components.

[0109] The riveting block 500 is riveted to the post portion 110 on the second side (wherein the first side and the second side are arranged opposite each other) in the thickness direction of the cover plate body 200. The function of the riveting block 500 is to further fix the pole post 100. By riveting it to the post portion 110, the connection strength between the pole post 100 and the cover plate body 200 is enhanced. Riveting is a reliable connection method that can withstand greater forces and vibrations, ensuring the stability of the battery cell cover plate during use.

[0110] A second plastic component 400 is arranged around the column portion 110 and extends on the surface of the cover plate body 200 near the plate portion 120, and the second plastic component 400 is at least partially located between the cover plate body 200 and the plate portion 120; the second plastic component 400 has multiple functions. Its arrangement around the column portion 110 provides insulation and protection, preventing short circuits or collisions between the column portion 110 and other components. Simultaneously, the partial location of the second plastic component 400 between the cover plate body 200 and the plate portion 120 enhances the connection stability between the two, reducing loosening caused by vibration or external forces.

[0111] A first plastic component 300 extends around the column portion 110 and onto the surface of the cover body 200 near the riveting block 500, and is at least partially located between the cover body 200 and the riveting block 500. Similar to the second plastic component 400, the first plastic component 300 also serves an insulating and protective function. Its arrangement around the column portion 110 prevents short circuits or poor contact between the column portion 110 and the riveting block 500. Simultaneously, the partial location of the first plastic component 300 between the cover body 200 and the riveting block 500 enhances the connection strength between them and improves the overall reliability of the battery cell cover.

[0112] A sealing ring 600 is arranged around the pillar portion 110 and at least partially between the cover body 200 and the pillar portion 110 in the annular gap. The main function of the sealing ring 600 is to seal and prevent leakage of electrolyte or other substances inside the battery. Its arrangement around the pillar portion 110 and filling the annular gap between the cover body 200 and the pillar portion 110 effectively prevents leakage and ensures the safety and stability of the battery.

[0113] The second plastic part 400 has a recessed groove on the side near the plate part 120, and the plate part 120 is embedded in the recessed groove. The recessed groove design allows the plate part 120 to be more stably embedded in the second plastic part 400, enhancing the connection strength between the two. At the same time, the recessed groove also provides a certain positioning function for the plate part 120, facilitating positioning and operation during installation. This embedding method reduces the gap between the plate part 120 and the second plastic part 400, improving the overall sealing and stability of the cell cover.
