Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of lithium - ion batteries, and particularly relates to a battery terminal structure and a battery. Background Art

[0002] A lithium - ion battery refers to a battery containing lithium (including metallic lithium, lithium alloys, lithium ions, lithium polymers, etc.) in its electrochemical system. Lithium - ion batteries have the advantages of high energy density, good cycling performance, and long service life, and are widely used in products such as electric devices, electrical appliances, and intelligent machines.

[0003] Currently, in the manufacturing process of existing lithium - ion batteries, a pole - column hole is generally provided at the upper end of the battery terminal. After the battery terminal is welded to the positive / negative current collector plate, due to the fluctuation of welding energy, the problem of poor sealing is likely to occur at the pole - column hole. Therefore, there is a risk of liquid leakage in the battery terminals in the related technologies. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies existing in the prior art. To achieve the above purpose, a battery terminal structure and a battery are adopted to solve the problems raised in the above background art.

[0005] A battery terminal structure and a battery, comprising:

[0006] A housing;

[0007] A terminal disposed at the end of the housing;

[0008] A pole - column hole disposed on the terminal; and

[0009] A seal disposed in the pole - column hole;

[0010] The terminal and the pole - column hole are sealed by using the seal.

[0011] As a further scheme of the utility model: the terminal and the housing adopt a riveted fixed structure. The riveted fixed structure can ensure a firm connection between the terminal and the housing, avoiding loosening or falling off caused by vibration or impact, thereby improving the service life and reliability of the device.

[0012] As a further scheme of the utility model: a fluororubber layer is provided at the connection between the terminal and the housing. The fluororubber layer has good sealing performance and corrosion resistance, can effectively prevent external substances such as moisture and dust from entering the device interior, protect the internal circuit and components from damage, and improve the waterproof and dust - proof performance of the device.

[0013] As a further solution of the present utility model: A fixing ring is arranged outside the fluororubber layer. The arrangement of the fixing ring can further enhance the stability and sealing performance of the fluororubber layer, ensure its close fit with the terminal and the housing, thereby improving the overall sealing performance of the device.

[0014] As a further solution of the present utility model: The terminal and the housing are provided with an outer plastic and an inner insulating part for insulation. The arrangement of the outer plastic and the inner insulating part can effectively isolate the electrical signals between the terminal and the housing, avoid equipment failures or damages caused by electrical short circuits, and improve the safety and stability of the device.

[0015] As a further solution of the present utility model: The depth range of the pole hole is 1 mm - 5 mm. Defining the depth range of the pole hole enables clear dimensional standards during production or processing, which helps to achieve precise control. This precision is crucial for the manufacture of many precision devices or components and can ensure the performance and quality of the product.

[0016] As a further solution of the present utility model: A chamfer structure is arranged inside the pole hole. The chamfer structure can reduce the friction force when the pole is inserted into the pole hole, make the insertion process smoother, and at the same time prevent the pole from scratching the hole wall when pulled out, thus extending the service life of the device.

[0017] As a further solution of the present utility model: The height of the seal is greater than the height of the terminal.

[0018] On the other hand, a technical solution, a battery, includes a battery terminal structure as described in any one of the above.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model has the following technical effects:

[0020] Adopting the above technical solution, through a pole hole provided at the terminal, it is connected to the positive / negative current collector plate by laser welding. The design of the pole hole reduces the difficulty of welding the terminal to the positive / negative current collector plate. Then, a seal is added and filled in the pole hole, and laser welding is continued for sealing to ensure that the sealing performance of the terminal is not affected.

[0028] Terminal 2 provided at the end of housing 1;

[0029] Pole hole 3 provided on terminal 2; and

[0030] Seal 4 provided in pole hole 3;

[0031] The terminal 2 and the pole hole 3 are sealed by using the seal 4.

[0032] In this embodiment, the terminal 2 and the housing 1 adopt a riveted fixing structure. A fluororubber layer 5 is provided at the connection between the terminal 2 and the housing 1.
