Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a cap, in particular to a battery edge cap. Background Art

[0002] As an important part of a lithium battery, a lithium battery cap has functions of sealing electrolyte and explosion prevention. In the existing production of lithium batteries, usually, the positive and negative electrodes and the battery core are welded inside, then the electrolyte is filled, and finally the battery cap is encapsulated. However, when welding the electrodes, the heat energy of laser welding is conducted to the relief ring notch on one side corresponding to the welding position, thus affecting the notch on that side, causing the notch to undergo thermal deformation, which is not conducive to ensuring the stable performance of the cap and affects the normal and safe function of the relief ring notch. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The utility model provides an edge cap with a simple structure, which can prevent the heat energy conduction of laser welding from affecting the relief ring notch.

[0004] The technical scheme adopted by the utility model is as follows: an edge cap includes a cap piece, an explosion-proof piece and a sealing ring. The explosion-proof piece is installed on the inner bottom of the sealing ring, the cap piece is press-fitted on the explosion-proof piece. After the explosion-proof piece wraps around the cap piece upward and turns out an explosion-proof piece press-fitting edge to press-fit the skirt edge of the cap piece, the outer ring of the sealing ring wraps around the explosion-proof piece and the cap piece and then turns out a sealing ring press-fitting edge to press-fit the explosion-proof piece press-fitting edge. A raised cap head structure is provided in the middle of the cap piece, and a circle of cap air holes is arranged on the outer periphery of the cap head structure. A relief ring notch is provided on the explosion-proof piece corresponding to the position below the cap head. It is characterized in that: the side of the relief ring notch corresponding to the position of the welding tab of the explosion-proof piece is a structure recessed into the circumference.

[0005] The sealing ring is made of high-temperature polyethylene propylene.

[0006] The cap head of the cap piece is nickel-plated.

[0007] The nickel-plating thickness is 4 - 8μm.

[0008] The cap piece and the explosion-proof piece are welded at more than 4 welding points around the circumference.

[0009] A gasket is arranged under the cap piece to press-fit the explosion-proof piece, and a gasket through hole corresponding to the relief ring is arranged in the center of the gasket.

[0010] The inner bottom of the sealing ring is coated with lithium battery sealant, and the inner wall of the outer ring of the sealing ring is coated with lithium battery sealant.

[0011] The upper plane of the cap piece corresponding to the explosion-proof piece press-fitting edge is a reticulated convex rib or a reticulated concave groove.

[0012] The relief ring notch includes a circumferential section connected in a circle and a recessed section, and the recessed section corresponds to the position of the welding tab.

[0013] The recessed section is an arc section with both ends respectively connected to the circumferential sections, or a connected line segment formed by two line segments with two outer ends respectively connected to the circumferential sections and two inner ends connected to each other.

[0014] The utility model changes the notch of the pressure relief ring with a traditional circumferential structure to a recessed structure on one side corresponding to the welding position of the tab. This effectively avoids being too close or directly facing, so that the heat energy during laser welding of the tab does not affect the notch of the recessed structure, preventing thermal deformation of the notch at this place, which is beneficial to ensuring the normal function of the pressure relief ring notch, thereby ensuring the stable performance of the cap and improving the safety performance of battery use.
