[0005] Based on the above problems, we will design an explosion-proof component and a lithium battery top cover. The lithium battery top cover has a simple structure and good sealing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The following is an explanation and description of the technical scheme of the embodiment of the utility model in conjunction with the drawings of the embodiment of the utility model, but the following embodiment is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, not all. Based on the embodiment in the implementation mode, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are all within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0033] In the following description, terms such as "inside", "outside", "up", "down", "left", "right", etc. that indicate directions or positional relationships are only used to facilitate the description of the embodiments and simplify the description, and do not indicate or imply that the referred device or element must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, it should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0034] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, an explosion-proof component includes an explosion-proof disc 1 and a protective patch 2 located directly above the explosion-proof disc 1, wherein the explosion-proof disc 1 includes an explosion-proof disc body and a connecting portion 101 surrounding the explosion-proof disc body, an upper groove 11 is formed on the top of the explosion-proof disc body around its edge, and a symmetrical and intersecting first notch 12 and a second notch 13 are formed inside the upper groove 11, and the first notch 12 and the second notch 13 both extend from the upper end of the upper groove 11 to the lower end of the other side of the upper groove 11; the connecting portion 101 is welded on the top cover plate, and the thickness of the connecting portion 101 is greater than the thickness of the explosion-proof disc body.

[0035] The explosion-proof plate 1 of the utility model is welded to the top cover plate through the connecting portion 101. When the internal pressure of the lithium battery is too high, it will automatically explode to release the pressure to reduce the internal pressure of the lithium battery, thereby preventing the battery from exploding.

[0036] An upper groove 11 is formed on the explosion-proof plate 1 to fit the edge of the explosion-proof plate 1 so as to make the explosion-proof plate 1 thinner, and an X-shaped first notch 12 and a second notch 13 are formed crosswise inside the upper groove 11 through a cold pressing process so as to make the explosion-proof plate 1 thinner. When subjected to the pressure inside the lithium battery, the X-shaped notch will play a guiding role, and the explosion-proof plate 1 can be evenly exploded along the X-shaped notch, so that the impact pressure on each surface of the explosion-proof plate 1 is consistent, and the explosion of the explosion-proof plate 1 is more stable.

[0037] The intersecting first notch 12 and second notch 13 divide the explosion-proof disk body into a left-right symmetrical block A and a top-bottom symmetrical block B. The notch sides of the first notch 12 and second notch 13 are the same in size and rectangular in shape.

[0038] The areas of block A and block B are similar, which is similar to dividing the explosion-proof plate body into 4 equal blocks of the same area. Under the guidance of the rectangular notch, the explosion-proof plate 1 can be quickly exploded, thereby improving the efficiency of the explosion of the explosion-proof plate 1.

[0039] A lower groove 14 is formed at the bottom of the explosion-proof plate body. The lower groove 14 makes the explosion-proof plate 1 thinner, and the diameter of the lower groove 14 is larger than the diameter of the upper groove 11, so that the explosion-proof plate 1 is more sensitive to the pressure inside the lithium battery, which facilitates the explosion of the explosion-proof plate 1 along the direction of the lower groove 14.

[0040] In general, compared with the prior art, the upper groove 11 and the lower groove 14 of the utility model make the explosion-proof plate 1 thinner. Accordingly, the pressure change inside the lithium battery is more sensitive to facilitate the explosion of the explosion-proof plate 1. The X-shaped first notch 12 and the second notch 13 evenly divide the explosion-proof plate 1 into 4 pieces, which plays a guiding role, so that the force on the explosion-proof plate 1 is more uniform and consistent, thereby improving the success rate and efficiency of the explosion of the explosion-proof plate 1.

[0041] Furthermore, the thickness of the connection portion 101 surrounding the explosion-proof disc body is greater than the thickness of the explosion-proof disc body, and the thickness of the connection portion 101 is at least twice the thickness of the explosion-proof disc body, so that the explosion-proof disc 1 can be firmly fixed on the top cover plate to ensure the stability of the explosion-proof disc 1.

[0042] The protective patch 2 is pasted on the top of the top cover plate to protect the explosion-proof disc 1 from external interference so that it can perform its explosion function.

[0043] like Figure 1-Figure 2 , Figure 6-Figure 7 As shown, a lithium battery top cover includes an explosion-proof component and a top cover body; the top cover body includes a top cover plate 3, pole assemblies 4 located on both sides of the top cover plate 3 and a lower plastic part 5 fixed below the top cover plate 3, the pole assembly 4 connects the top cover plate 3 and the lower plastic part 5 together, a protrusion 31 is formed on the top of the top cover plate 3, a positioning groove 33 is formed on the protrusion 31 toward the pole assembly 4 side, and a card groove 51 is formed on the lower plastic part 5 toward the pole assembly 4 side.

[0044] The pole assembly 4 includes an upper plastic part 41, a pole 42 and a seal 43. A spline 421 is formed in the middle of the pole 42 and is arranged around it. A buckle portion 422 for snapping into the slot 51 is formed at the bottom of the pole 42. A spline groove 411 for matching with the spline 421 is formed on the upper plastic part 41 toward the side of the pole 42. A groove 412 for matching with the protrusion 31 and a positioning block 413 for matching with the positioning groove 33 are formed at the bottom of the upper plastic part 41.

[0045] The pole 42 includes a negative pole and a positive pole, and the negative pole and the positive pole are each located on one side of the top cover plate 3 .

[0046] The top cover plate 3 includes a liquid injection port 32 , and a liquid injection portion 52 corresponding to the liquid injection port 32 is formed on the lower plastic part 5 , and the liquid injection portion 52 protrudes toward a side away from the top cover plate 3 .

[0047] The seal 43 is located between the top cover plate 3 and the pole 42. The seal 43 may be a sealing ring that is resistant to corrosion by the electrolyte. It not only serves to isolate the air, but also prevents the electrolyte from leaking along the pole.

[0048] The upper plastic part 41 of the utility model is an injection molded part. The lower plastic part 5 is inserted under the top cover plate 3. The sealing part 43 is inserted into the pole 42 and passes through the lower plastic part 5 and the top cover plate 3 in sequence. At this time, the buckle part 422 at the bottom of the pole 42 is inserted into the card groove 51 of the lower plastic part 5. The assembled lower plastic part 5, the top cover plate 3, the pole 42, and the sealing part 43 are placed in a specified mold. The injection rubber enters between the top cover plate 3, the pole 42 and the sealing part 43 through the mold, and the top cover plate 3, the lower plastic part 5, the pole 42, and the sealing part 43 are connected together. The injection molded rubber forms the upper plastic part 41. The upper plastic part 41 has a spline groove 411 that can cooperate with the spline 421, a groove 412 that cooperates with the protrusion 31, and a positioning block 413 that cooperates with the positioning groove 33.

[0049] The upper plastic part 41 is encapsulated by a rubber coating process, and the matched pole 42, the seal 43, the lower plastic 5, and the top cover plate 3 are directly connected and formed to play a role of tightening and anti-twist.

[0050] The pole 42 is divided into a positive pole and a negative pole on the top cover plate 3. The electrolyte enters the lithium battery along the injection port 32 and the injection part 52. After the electrolyte inside the lithium battery is filled enough, an injection nail is placed at the injection port 32 for sealing. Under the action of the upper plastic part 41 and the sealing part 43, the interior of the lithium battery is sealed, and the positive pole assembly and the negative pole assembly are conductive, so that the lithium battery can function.
