DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, example embodiments can be implemented in a variety of forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided to make the present invention more comprehensive and complete and to fully convey the concepts of example embodiments to those skilled in the art. The same reference numerals in the figures represent the same or similar structures, and thus their repeated description will be omitted.

[0042] The words expressing positions and directions described in the present utility model are all explained by taking the drawings as examples, but they can be changed as needed, and all the changes are included in the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an electrode module 1 corresponding to an embodiment of the present invention includes an electrode column 11 , a metal connecting plate 12 and an injection molded part 13 .

[0044] The electrode column 11 can be used as the positive electrode or negative electrode of the battery; when the electrode column 11 is a positive electrode column, the electrode column 11 can be used as the positive electrode of the battery, and when the electrode column 11 is a negative electrode column, the electrode column 11 can be used as the negative electrode of the battery. The electrode column 11 includes a first end and a second end relative to each other along its thickness direction, and the first end and the second end are at least partially exposed to the outside world. Among them, when the electrode module 1 is applied to a battery, the exposed portion of the first end can be exposed to the outer shell of the battery and used as the positive electrode or negative electrode of the battery to connect with external components. The external component can be a device that needs to be powered by a battery.

[0045] The metal connecting plate 12 is fixed to the electrode column 11 and the injection molded part 13, and the metal connecting plate 12 can be used to be sealed and fixedly connected to the battery top plate 2, so that the electrode module 1 is sealed and fixed to the battery top plate 2. The metal connecting plate 12 may include a first connecting portion 121, a second connecting portion 122, and a first main body portion 123 connecting the first connecting portion 121 and the second connecting portion 122. The first connecting portion 121 and the second connecting portion 122 are arranged at opposite ends of the first main body portion 123. The first connecting portion 121 is used to be sealed and fixedly connected to the battery top plate 2; preferably, the first connecting portion 121 is welded and fixed to the battery top plate 2, and can be specifically fixed by laser welding. The laser welding fixation method can make the first connection part 121 stably fixed to the battery top plate 2, and compared with riveting fixation and other methods, the laser welding fixation method has lower cost; and after the first connection part 121 is welded and fixed to the battery top plate 2, the connection part between the first connection part 121 and the battery top plate 2 is sealed. Compared with the fixing formation of the sealing ring, the welding seal is not easy to wear and fail, has a longer life, and the welding seal has higher sealing reliability. Among them, the metal connecting plate 12 can be an aluminum plate, and the first connection part 121, the second connection part 122 and the first main body 123 can be an integrated structure.

[0046] Reference Figure 5 In some specific embodiments, the first connection portion 121 may be formed by extending from the side of the first main body portion 123 away from the second connection portion 122 in a direction away from the second connection portion 122, the thickness of the first main body portion 121 may be the same as the thickness of the first main body portion 123, and the first connection portion 121 is flush with the first main body portion 123, that is, the upper surface of the first main body portion 121 is flush with the upper surface of the first main body portion 123, and the lower surface of the first main body portion 121 is flush with the lower surface of the first main body portion 123. The side of the first connection portion 121 away from the first main body portion 123 is used to connect the battery top plate 2, and the angle formed by the side of the first connection portion 121 away from the first main body portion 123 and the upper surface of the first connection portion 121 may be 1-179°.

[0047] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In some other specific embodiments, the first connection portion 121 may be formed by extending from the side of the first main body 123 away from the second connection portion 122 in a direction away from the second connection portion 122, the thickness of the first main body 121 may be less than the thickness of the first main body 123, and the first connection portion 121 is flush with the upper end of the first main body 123, that is, the upper surface of the first connection 121 is flush with the upper surface of the first main body 123. The side of the first connection portion 121 away from the first main body 123 and the lower surface of the first connection portion 121 can be used to connect the battery top plate 2.

[0048] Reference Figure 6 In other specific embodiments, the first connection portion 121 may be formed by extending from the side of the first main body 123 away from the second connection portion 122 in a direction away from the second connection portion 122, the thickness of the first main body 121 may be less than the thickness of the first main body 123, and the first connection portion 121 is flush with the lower end of the first main body 123, that is, the lower surface of the first connection 121 may be flush with the lower surface of the first main body 123. The side of the first connection portion 121 away from the first main body 123 and the upper surface of the first connection portion 121 can be used to connect the battery top plate 2.

[0049] The second connection portion 122 is used for sealing and fixing the injection molded part 13 , so that the injection molded part 13 and the electrode column 11 fixedly connected to the injection molded part 13 can be fixed to the metal connection plate 12 , and the electrode module 1 forms an integral structure.

[0050] The injection molded part 13 is injection molded between the electrode column 11 and the metal connecting plate 12, so that the injection molded part 13 is bonded and fixed to the electrode column 11 and the metal connecting plate 12 by its own viscosity; and, after the injection molded part 13 is filled between the electrode column 11 and the metal connecting plate 12, the connection between the electrode column 11 and the metal connecting plate 12 can be sealed, thereby realizing a sealed and fixed connection between the injection molded part 13 and the electrode column 11 and the metal connecting plate 12. Specifically, the injection molded part 13 can be bonded and fixed to the second connecting portion 122 in the metal connecting plate 12. In order to ensure the stability of the connection between the injection molded part 13 and the second connecting portion 122, the injection molded part 13 can cover the second connecting portion 122, for example, the injection molded part 13 covers the top and bottom surfaces of the second connecting portion 122 along its thickness direction, and part of the side surface of the second connecting portion 122. The material of the injection molded part 13 may be one or more of PPS (polyphenylene sulfide) plastic, LCP (liquid crystal polymer) plastic, PEEK (polyetheretherketone) plastic, PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) plastic or PI (polyimide) plastic.

[0051] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3In some specific embodiments, the second connection portion 122 is arranged on the side of the electrode column 11 facing the battery top plate 2, for example, the second connection portion 122 is arranged below the battery top plate 2. The injection molded part 13 covers the second connection portion 122 and forms a receiving cavity 131 and a through hole 132 that are interconnected. The receiving cavity 131 is located above the second connection portion 122, and the receiving cavity 131 can be used to receive the electrode column 11. At this time, the second connection portion 122 can support the electrode column 11. In order to connect the first end of the electrode column 11 with an external component, the first end of the electrode column 11 can protrude from the receiving cavity 131 or be flush with the end of the receiving cavity 131 away from the through hole 132. The second end of the electrode column 11 can extend to the through hole 132, and the through hole 132 passes through the injection molded part 13, so that the portion of the electrode column 11 exposed to the through hole 132 can be connected to the outside through the through hole 132.

[0052] In addition, in order to improve the connection stability between the injection molded part 13 and the electrode column 11, the electrode column 11 may be provided with a step portion 111. The injection molded part 13 covers the step portion 111 to improve the stability of the connection between the injection molded part 13 and the electrode column 11. It should be pointed out that the injection molded part 13 may not cover the step portion 111 of the electrode column 11, but only be bonded and fixed to the side of the electrode column 11, which is not limited here.

[0053] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some other specific embodiments, the second connection portion 122 may be flush with a portion of the electrode column 11, and the injection molded part 13 is filled between the second connection portion 122 and the electrode column 11, and a receiving cavity 131 for receiving the electrode column 11 is formed. The first end of the electrode column 11 may be flush with one end of the receiving cavity 131, or protrude from the receiving cavity 131, and the second end of the electrode column 11 may be flush with the other end of the receiving cavity 131, or protrude from the receiving cavity 131, so as to facilitate the connection between the first end of the electrode column 11 and the external components and the second end of the electrode column 11 and the internal components of the battery.

[0054] In addition, in order to improve the connection stability between the injection molded part 13 and the electrode column 11, the electrode column 11 can be provided with a groove 112 formed inwardly along its side surface, and the injection molded part 13 is filled in the groove 112, so that the part of the injection molded part 13 located in the groove 112 can be used to support the electrode column 11, so as to reduce the influence of the self-weight of the electrode column 11 on the connection stability between the injection molded part 13 and the electrode column 11. At the same time, the part of the injection molded part 13 located in the groove 112 can also increase the connection area between the injection molded part 13 and the electrode column 11, thereby improving the connection stability between the injection molded part 13 and the electrode column 11.

[0055] When manufacturing the electrode module 1, the metal connecting plate 12 is first formed by a stamping process, and the electrode column 11 is formed by stamping, cold heading, machining and other processes; wherein, when the electrode column 11 is a positive electrode column or a negative electrode column, it is formed by stamping, cold heading, machining and other processes. After the metal connecting plate 12 and the electrode column 11 are formed, the metal connecting plate 12 and the electrode column 11 are chemically treated to form nanopores on the surfaces of the metal connecting plate 12 and the electrode column 11, and then the metal connecting plate 12 and the electrode column 11 are buried in a mold for nano injection molding to form an injection molded part 13. The injection molded part 13 flows between the metal connecting plate 12 and the electrode column 11 in a liquid state, and then is cooled and fixed, and is bonded and sealed to the metal connecting plate 12 and the electrode column 11. By subjecting the electrode column 11 and the metal connecting plate 12 to chemical treatment and nano-injection molding, the volume of the electrode column 11 and the metal connecting plate 12 is smaller than that of the existing integral battery cover plate, which can reduce the volume of the workpiece processed during chemical treatment and nano-injection molding, improve processing efficiency, and reduce processing costs.

[0056] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the utility model further provides a battery cover plate, comprising a battery top plate 2 and the above-mentioned electrode module 1.

[0057] The battery top plate 2 is provided with a mounting hole 21 that penetrates along its thickness direction, and the mounting hole 21 is used for the installation of the electrode module 1. The mounting hole 21 can be one or more. Among them, the number of mounting holes 21 is the same as the number of electrode modules 1, and they correspond one to one. The battery top plate 2 can also include a connecting end 22, and the connecting end 22 is used to connect the electrode module 1, and the connecting end 22 can be surrounded to form the mounting hole 21. The first connecting portion 121 of the electrode module 1 can be flush with the connecting end 22 of the battery top plate 2, and the electrode module 1 can be connected to the battery top plate 2 only through the first connecting portion 121, and the electrode column 11 and the injection molded part 13 in the electrode module 1 can be suspended on the battery top plate 2. The battery top plate 2 is a metal top plate, specifically, the battery top plate 2 is an aluminum alloy plate or a stainless steel plate.

The matching portion 221 may be flush with the lower end of the second main body portion 222, that is, the lower surface of the matching portion 221 is flush with the lower surface of the second main body portion 222. When the electrode module 1 is mounted on the battery top plate 2, the matching portion 221 and the first connecting portion 121 are stacked along the thickness direction of the metal connecting plate 12, that is, the upper surface of the matching portion 221 is in contact with the lower surface of the first connecting portion 121, and the thickness of the whole formed by stacking the matching portion 221 and the second connecting portion 121 is the same as the thickness of the first main body 123, that is, the upper surface of the second main body 222 is flush with the upper surface of the first connecting portion 121, and the lower surface of the matching portion 221 is flush with the lower surface of the first main body 123.

[0061] It is noted that for the convenience of description, the present invention will refer to Figure 1 The up and down directions are defined by an angle, that is, the up and down directions are defined by the thickness direction of the electrode column 11 or the thickness direction of the connecting plate 12. Figure 1 The side of the middle electrode column 11 facing away from the connecting plate 12 is the upper side, and the side of the connecting plate 12 facing away from the electrode column 11 is the lower side. The upper surfaces of the first connecting portion 121, the main body 123, the connecting end 22, the matching portion 221, and the second main body 222 are the surfaces where the first connecting portion 121, the main body 123, the connecting end 22, the matching portion 221, and the second main body 222 are located at the upper side, and the lower surfaces of the first connecting portion 121, the main body 123, the connecting end 22, the matching portion 221, and the second main body 222 are the surfaces where the first connecting portion 121, the main body 123, the connecting end 22, the matching portion 221, and the second main body 222 are located at the lower side.

[0062] Only one electrode module 1 may be provided, for example, the electrode module 1 is a positive electrode module, and the negative electrode module is provided integrally with the battery top plate 2 in a conventional manner. As a preferred embodiment, two electrode modules 1 are provided, wherein the electrode column 11 of one electrode module 1 is a positive electrode column, and the electrode module 1 is used as a positive electrode module, and the electrode column 11 of the other electrode module 1 is a negative electrode column, and the electrode module 1 is used as a negative electrode module. When the electrode module 1 is manufactured, the electrode module 1 is installed in the mounting hole 21, and the first connecting portion 121 of the metal connecting plate 12 in the electrode module 1 is laser welded and fixed to the battery top plate 2 to achieve a sealed fixed connection between the electrode module 1 and the battery top plate 2. Therefore, the battery top plate 2 may not participate in the chemical treatment and nano injection molding processes in the electrode module 1, and it can be avoided that the battery top plate 2 has a rough surface after the chemical treatment and nano injection molding processes, which makes it difficult to identify the traceability code made on the rough surface, or the battery top plate 2 has residual electrolyte near the injection port for injecting electrolyte, which makes it difficult to weld at this position and causes poor welding.
