Description

Technical Field

[0058] In some embodiments, the surface of the air groove 206 is an arc-shaped surface, which can effectively increase the effective air permeability area of ​​the air groove 206. While ensuring the same effective air permeability area of ​​the sealing nail, the abutment area between the nail body 200 and the inner wall of the injection hole is increased, so that the friction between the nail body 200 and the inside of the injection hole is increased, making it difficult for the nail body 200 to move relative to the injection hole.

[0059] In an optional embodiment, three air-permeable grooves 206 are disposed on the glue nail body 200 , and the three air-permeable grooves 206 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the glue nail body 200 .

[0061] In an optional embodiment, the sealing upper cover 100 is made of aluminum, and the nail body 200 is made of polypropylene.

[0062] In some embodiments, the sealing upper cover 100 is made of aluminum, and the nail body 200 can be made of rubber or PP material; the PP material is polypropylene material.

[0063] Three air-permeable grooves 206 are evenly arranged around the circumference of the glue nail body 200, and abutment portions 207 are formed between two connected air-permeable grooves 206, and the abutment portions 207 are used to abut against the inner wall of the injection hole, wherein the size of the air-permeable grooves 206 affects the size of the abutment portions 207; a guide surface is arranged on the glue nail body 200, and the guide surface facilitates the insertion of the glue nail body 200 into the injection hole, and the diameter of the glue nail body 200 at the guide surface is smaller than the inner diameter of the injection hole, which facilitates the insertion of the glue nail body 200.

[0064] The sealing upper cover 100 and the nail body 200 of the sealing nail provided by the utility model are integrated, and the nail body 200 is arranged at the lower end of the sealing upper cover 100, the nail body 200 is used to seal the injection hole, and the sealing upper cover 100 is used to be welded with the battery cover plate; since the nail body 200 and the sealing upper cover 100 are integrated, when the sealing nail is used to seal the injection hole, the nail body 200 will not bulge, causing the problem of poor welding between the sealing upper cover 100 and the battery cover plate, and it can reduce one step of the installation process, thereby reducing the process cost to a certain extent.

[0065] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, rather than to limit it.
