[0022] If certain words are used in the specification and claims to refer to specific components, those skilled in the art should understand that manufacturers may use different terms to refer to the same component. This specification and claims do not use differences in names as a way to distinguish components, but use differences in the functions of components as the criteria for distinction. As mentioned in the entire specification and claims, "including" is an open term, so it should be interpreted as "including but not limited to". In the utility model, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected", "connected", "fixed" and the like should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal connection of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0023] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 4 The utility model is further described in detail with specific embodiments, but is not intended to limit the utility model.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] A sealing cover assembly of a battery, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, it includes a first cover body 1, the first cover body 1 has a first through hole 10 penetrating the first cover body 1, the first through hole 10 sequentially accommodates a second cover body 2, an airbag body 3 and a sealing member 4, the airbag body 3 is arranged between the second cover body 2 and the sealing member 4, the airbag body 3 has a first detection gas, the hole wall of the first through hole 10 has a first step 11 and a second step 12 connected to each other, the second cover body 2 is arranged on the first step 11 and is sealed with the first step 11, the second cover body 2 covers and seals the hole opening of the first through hole 10, and the sealing member 4 is fixedly arranged on the second step 12 and blocks the first through hole 10.

[0026] Since the second cover body 2 can seal the opening of the first through hole 10 and the sealing member 4 can seal at least part of the hole of the first through hole 10, the first detection gas in the airbag body 3 arranged between the second cover body 2 and the sealing member 4 is released through corresponding high-temperature means, so that the first detection gas can be filled between the second cover body 2 and the sealing member 4. If the first through hole 10 is poorly sealed, the detection equipment can be used to detect whether the first detection gas leaks from the above-mentioned sealing position, thereby effectively detecting the airtightness of the sealing position in the sealing cover assembly.

[0027] Preferably, the first through hole 10 is the liquid injection hole of the battery, and the sealing member 4 is a sealing nail. In actual production, since the sealing nail has a certain sealing effect on the liquid injection hole, the first detection gas in the battery shell cannot escape from the inside of the battery cell to between the liquid injection hole and the second cover body 2. In this way, even if there is an abnormality in the sealing of the second cover body 2, it cannot be detected, thereby causing poorly sealed battery cells to flow into the market, posing a safety hazard. The airbag body 3 in this scheme will not fall into the battery cell after being crushed at high temperature due to the barrier effect of the sealing nail, and the escape of the first detection gas in the airbag body 3 in this scheme can provide a detection basis for the sealing of the second cover body 2. If the second cover body 2 and the first step 11 of the first through hole 10 are poorly sealed, the first detection gas can escape from the poorly sealed position of the second cover body 2, thereby being detected by relevant equipment and avoiding the poorly sealed battery cell from flowing into the subsequent process.

[0028] Preferably, the height of the first step 11 is the same as the height of the second cover body 2 .

[0029] Preferably, the second cover body 2 and the sealing member 4 are fitted together to form a first cavity 5, and the airbag body 3 is accommodated in the first cavity 5, and the side of the sealing member 4 facing the second cover body 2 is concave to form the first cavity 5, so that the first cavity 5 is opened on the side of the sealing member 4 facing the second cover body 2, and at the same time, the volume of the groove on the top of the sealing member 4 is larger than the volume of the airbag body 3, so that the airbag body 3 is not easily damaged by the external force generated by machining.

[0030] Preferably, the longitudinal section of the first cavity 5 is semi-elliptical or rectangular.

[0031] Preferably, the sealing member 4 has a first extension portion 41 abutting against the second step 12, the height of the second step 12 is the same as that of the first extension portion 41, the first extension portion 41 has an air permeable passage connected to the first cavity 5, or a micron-level air permeable gap connected to the first cavity 5 is provided between the first extension portion 41 and the second cover body 2, so that the first detection gas of the airbag body 3 after being broken at high temperature can escape to the edge of the sealing position of the second cover body 2 and the first step 11 through the air permeable passage or the air permeable gap, thereby preventing the first detection gas from being unable to further escape to the desired detection position in the first cavity 5.

[0032] Preferably, the airbag body 3 is adhered to the second cover body 2 and / or the seal 4. The material of the airbag body 3 can be TPU high-barrier ball film. Thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer rubber has the characteristics of light weight, good elasticity, high tear strength, and high sensitivity to heat. The airbag body 3 has excellent anti-scratch ability and is difficult to be damaged by collision during mechanical processing, which facilitates its use in automated production and processing.

[0033] Preferably, the melting point of the airbag body 3 is 70°C to 230°C, the tear strength of the surface of the airbag body 3 is at least 250N / mm, the tear strength is tested according to ASTMD624 standard, and the surface thickness of the airbag body 3 is 0.02mm to 0.2mm. The melting point of the second cover body 2 is at least 660°C.

[0034] Preferably, the first detection gas is nitrogen, hydrogen or an inert gas, the inert gas is one of helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon or radon, and the first detection gas is a gas that does not react with substances in the battery.

[0035] Specifically, taking the large cylinder 40135 as an example, after the winding core is welded to the positive and negative current collecting plates, it is placed in the aluminum shell, and the aluminum shell is welded to the positive and negative cover plates, one of which is the above-mentioned sealing cover assembly; after the welded battery cell has undergone the initial liquid injection, opening formation, secondary liquid injection and other processes, the battery cell needs to be sealed; first, the first through hole 10 is blocked with the seal 4, and then the airbag body 3 is set between the second cover body 2 and the seal 4, and the first detection gas in the airbag body 3 is helium, and then the second cover body 2 is embedded with the seal 4, and a laser welding device is used to weld a circle near the second cover body 2. The heat generated during the welding of the sealing cover can cause the airbag body 3 to break at high temperature and the helium therein to escape. Finally, the welding effect of the second cover body 2 can be detected by the helium detection equipment. If the second cover body 2 is poorly welded, the helium will escape from the poorly sealed position and be detected by the helium detection equipment, thereby preventing the poorly sealed battery cell from flowing into the subsequent process.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] Different from Example 1, see Figure 3 The second cover body 2 includes a first connecting portion 21 and a first fitting portion 22 connected to each other, the first connecting portion 21 is sealingly connected to the first step 11, at least part of the sealing member 4 is fitted to the first fitting portion 22, the first connecting portion 21, the first fitting portion 22 and the sealing member 4 enclose a first cavity 5, and the structure of the second cover body 2 is improved by opening the first cavity 5 on the side of the second cover body 2 facing the sealing member 4, so that the airbag body 3 can be stably accommodated in the first cavity 5 enclosed by the first connecting portion 21, the first fitting portion 22 and the sealing member 4, and the first fitting portion 22 and the first extension portion 41 can play a certain limiting role on the airbag body 3.

[0038] The other structures of this embodiment are the same as those of Embodiment 1 and will not be described again here.

[0039] Example 3

[0040] Different from Example 1, see Figure 4The second cover body 2 and the sealing member 4 are relatively separated and enclosed to form a first cavity 5, and the airbag body 3 is accommodated in the first cavity 5, and the first cavity 5 is a rectangular cavity, so that a rectangular cavity is provided between the second cover body 2 and the sealing member 4, and at the same time, the height of the first extension portion 41 of the sealing member 4 is less than the height of the second step 12.

[0041] The other structures of this embodiment are the same as those of Embodiment 1 and will not be described again here.
