Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of batteries, and in particular to an explosion-proof battery housing and an explosion-proof battery. Background Art
[0002] In the field of battery technology, effective management of internal pressure is one of the core challenges to ensure safe operation of batteries. If the imbalance of internal pressure in the battery is not properly controlled, it may cause serious safety accidents, such as battery overheating, fire or even explosion, posing a huge threat to people's life and property safety. Therefore, the development of an efficient internal pressure management solution is crucial to improving the overall performance and reliability of the battery. How to achieve effective management of the internal pressure of the battery is an important research direction for batteries. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of this, the utility model provides an explosion-proof battery housing, in which the end of the movable cover plate abuts against the limiting sliding wall, so that the movable cover plate can move up and down along the sliding wall under the action of the air pressure in the cavity. When the internal pressure of the battery is too high, the movable cover plate can automatically move upward, thereby reducing the risk of explosion caused by excessive pressure, and can effectively prevent the internal pressure of the battery from getting out of control, reducing the risk of battery explosion, and providing a strong guarantee for the safe use of the battery.
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0005] An explosion-proof battery shell comprises a main shell having a cavity, an outer cover plate covering an opening of the cavity, a fixed cover plate arranged in the cavity and located below the outer cover plate, and a movable cover plate arranged in the cavity and located below the fixed cover plate, wherein a limiting convex ring, a first annular protrusion and a second annular protrusion are sequentially arranged on the side wall of the cavity from top to bottom, the first annular protrusion and the second annular protrusion are arranged at intervals, a limiting sliding wall is arranged between the first annular protrusion and the second annular protrusion, an end of the movable cover plate abuts against the limiting sliding wall, and the movable cover plate can move up and down along the limiting sliding wall under the action of air pressure in the cavity.
[0006] The side wall of the cavity is provided with a limited convex ring, a first annular protrusion and a second annular protrusion from top to bottom, the first annular protrusion and the second annular protrusion are spaced apart, and a limited sliding wall is provided between the two. The end of the movable cover plate abuts against the limited sliding wall, so that the movable cover plate can move up and down along the sliding wall under the action of the air pressure in the cavity. When the internal pressure of the battery is too high, the movable cover plate can automatically move upward, thereby reducing the risk of explosion caused by excessive pressure. Such a design not only ensures the stability of the movable cover plate under normal working conditions, but also allows the internal pressure to be quickly released under abnormal conditions. The setting of the outer cover plate not only seals the cavity and prevents the intrusion of external substances, but also can serve as an additional safety barrier to prevent the leakage of internal substances when necessary. The use of the fixed cover plate and the movable cover plate realizes the precise control of the internal environment of the battery, and also provides convenience for the maintenance and replacement of the battery. The design of this explosion-proof battery shell not only improves the safety of the battery, but also takes into account the convenience of operation and the economy of maintenance. Through reasonable structural design, the explosion-proof battery casing can effectively prevent the runaway pressure inside the battery, reduce the risk of battery explosion, and provide strong protection for the safe use of the battery.
[0007] Preferably, a wave-shaped protrusion is dug on the inner wall of the position-limiting sliding wall, and a matching protrusion that fits with the wave-shaped protrusion is provided on the end of the movable cover plate.
[0008] The inner wall of the limited sliding wall is designed with wavy protrusions, which provides a more precise and reliable mechanism for the positioning and movement of the movable cover. These wavy protrusions are similar to lock buckles. When the matching protrusions of the movable cover come into contact with them, they can produce a stable mechanical bite, ensuring that the cover will not flip over at a large angle and fall off when the pressure inside the battery changes. Moreover, it can move parallel to the pressure fluctuation without flipping, achieving a pressure relief effect and ensuring the stability of the internal air pressure of the battery. In addition, the design of the wavy protrusions also increases the contact area, helps to disperse the pressure, and reduces local stress concentration, thereby extending the service life of the movable cover and the limited sliding wall.
[0009] Preferably, a first conductive column is connected to the outer cover plate, the lower part of the first conductive column is connected to the fixed cover plate, and a second conductive column is connected to the movable cover plate. The first conductive column and the second conductive column are electrically connected through a wire, the first conductive column is threadedly connected to the outer cover plate and the fixed cover plate, and the second conductive column is threadedly connected to the movable cover plate.
[0010] The outer cover is connected to a first conductive column, the lower part of which is connected to the fixed cover, and the movable cover is connected to a second conductive column, which are electrically connected to each other through a wire. This design realizes the electrical connection inside the battery and provides a safe conductive path. The threaded connection between the first conductive column and the second conductive column ensures the stability and reliability of the electrical connection, and maintains good contact even in the case of vibration or temperature changes.
[0011] Preferably, a spring is connected between the movable cover plate and the fixed cover plate.
[0012] The design of a spring connected between the movable cover and the fixed cover adds dynamic adjustment capabilities to the sealing system of the battery housing. As an elastic element, the spring can provide the necessary reaction force when the internal pressure of the battery changes, ensuring that the movable cover is always tightly fitted on the fixed cover, thereby maintaining a good sealing effect. This design enables the battery housing to adapt to different working environments, such as temperature changes, vibrations, etc., to ensure that the gas inside the battery will not leak, while also preventing external impurities from entering. The elastic properties of the spring also help absorb and alleviate pressure fluctuations inside the battery, reduce mechanical damage caused by sudden pressure changes, and extend the service life of the battery housing. In addition, the presence of the spring makes the movable cover move more smoothly, improving the stability of the movable cover in regulating the internal air pressure of the battery.
[0013] Preferably, a first slot is dug on the lower surface of the fixed cover plate, a second slot is dug on the upper surface of the movable cover plate, and one end of the spring is clamped in the first slot and the other end is clamped in the second slot.
[0014] A first slot is dug on the lower surface of the fixed cover plate, and a second slot is dug on the upper surface of the movable cover plate. The design in which one end of the spring is connected to the first slot and the other end is connected to the second slot realizes a firm connection between the spring and the cover plate.
[0015] Preferably, the outer cover plate is arranged above the limiting convex ring.
[0016] The outer cover plate is arranged above the limiting convex ring, which not only provides an additional protective layer to prevent foreign substances from corroding the inside of the battery, but also enhances the structural strength of the entire shell.
[0017] Preferably, the limiting protrusion and the first annular protrusion are spaced apart, and the fixed cover plate is installed at the gap between the limiting protrusion and the first annular protrusion.
[0018] The design of the spacing between the limiting convex ring and the first annular protrusion provides a precise positioning point for the installation of the fixed cover plate, ensuring that the fixed cover plate can be firmly installed in the predetermined position while leaving enough space to accommodate the movable cover plate. The fixed cover plate is installed in the gap between the limiting convex ring and the first annular protrusion, further enhancing the structural integrity of the battery housing. The position of the fixed cover plate not only ensures the stability of the internal components of the battery, but also provides an additional layer of protection when the battery is subjected to external impact, reducing damage to the internal components.
[0019] Preferably, the first annular protrusion, the second annular protrusion and the limiting sliding wall are integrally formed and connected.
[0020] The design of the first annular protrusion, the second annular protrusion, and the limiting sliding wall are integrally molded to achieve the integrated production of components, improving production efficiency and product quality. This integrated design reduces the assembly steps in the production process, reduces potential failure points, and improves the overall reliability of the product. At the same time, the one-piece structure also makes the fit between the components tighter and improves the sealing performance. This design also simplifies the maintenance and replacement process, because when a component needs to be replaced, the entire one-piece component can be directly replaced without disassembling each component separately.
[0021] The utility model also provides an explosion-proof battery, comprising the explosion-proof battery housing as described above.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0023] The explosion-proof battery housing of the utility model has a limited convex ring, a first annular protrusion and a second annular protrusion arranged in sequence from top to bottom on the side wall of the cavity, the first annular protrusion and the second annular protrusion are spaced and arranged, and a limited sliding wall is arranged between the two, and the end of the movable cover plate abuts against the limited sliding wall, so that the movable cover plate can move up and down along the sliding wall under the action of the air pressure in the cavity, and when the internal pressure of the battery is too high, the movable cover plate can automatically move upward, thereby reducing the risk of explosion caused by excessive pressure. Such a design not only ensures the stability of the movable cover plate under normal working conditions, but also allows the internal pressure to be quickly released under abnormal conditions. The setting of the outer cover plate not only seals the cavity and prevents the intrusion of external substances, but also can serve as an additional safety barrier to prevent the leakage of internal substances when necessary. The coordinated use of the fixed cover plate and the movable cover plate realizes the precise control of the internal environment of the battery, and also provides convenience for the maintenance and replacement of the battery. The design of this explosion-proof battery housing not only improves the safety of the battery, but also takes into account the convenience of operation and the economy of maintenance. Through reasonable structural design, the explosion-proof battery casing can effectively prevent the runaway pressure inside the battery, reduce the risk of battery explosion, and provide strong protection for the safe use of the battery.
