DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments.
[0021] Referring to Figures 1-3 , a heat dissipation top cover structure includes a top cover plate 1. Positive electrode post 4 and negative electrode post 3 are provided at both ends of the top cover plate 1. There are a total of two connecting pieces 12 between the positive electrode post 4 and the negative electrode post 3 and the lower plastic 2. The positive electrode post 4 and the negative electrode post 3 are respectively connected to the connecting piece 12. The connecting piece 12 is connected to the positive electrode tab and the negative electrode tab of the battery cell to achieve electrical connection;
[0022] The bottom end of the top cover plate 1 is provided with a lower plastic 2. The cross-sectional area of the lower plastic 2 is the same as that of the top cover plate 1, so that the installation and positioning can be more convenient. The lower plastic 2 will not protrude and is not easily damaged. There are a total of two heat-conducting ceramics 11 between the top cover plate 1 and the lower plastic 2, and the two heat-conducting ceramics 11 are located inside the two connecting pieces 12. One end of each of the two heat-conducting ceramics 11 is connected to one of the two connecting pieces 12, and the top ends of the two heat-conducting ceramics 11 are connected to the top cover plate 1;
[0023] By placing a heat-conducting ceramic 11 between the top cover sheet and the lower plastic 2 so that it contacts the connecting piece 12 and the top cover plate 1, it is convenient to transfer the heat on the connecting piece 12 to the top cover sheet through the heat-conducting ceramic 11, solving the problem that the heat inside the battery cell is isolated and cannot be released, thereby improving the safety of the battery cell and reducing potential safety hazards.
[0024] Riveting blocks 5 are provided around the outside of both the positive electrode post 4 and the negative electrode post 3. The positive electrode post 4 and the negative electrode post 3 both penetrate through the riveting blocks 5. For the negative electrode post 3 and the positive electrode post 4, first assemble the sealing ring 6 and then pass through the top cover plate 1 and the upper plastic, and finally assemble the riveting blocks 5 to rivet the top cover through the riveting process.
[0025] Sealing rings 6 are provided around the outside of both the positive electrode post 4 and the negative electrode post 3. The positive electrode post 4 and the negative electrode post 3 both penetrate through the sealing rings 6 of the riveting blocks 5. The sealing rings 6 are all located above the riveting blocks 5. The sealing rings 6 can seal the pole post, prevent the electrode liquid inside the battery from leaking from the pole post, and reduce the risk of electric leakage.
[0026] A negative upper plastic 7 is provided at the top end of the negative electrode post 3, and a positive upper plastic 8 is provided at the top end of the positive electrode post 4. Both the negative upper plastic 7 and the positive upper plastic 8 are formed by injection molding. The injection-molded upper plastic can perfectly fit the positive electrode post 4 and the negative electrode post 3, and can insulate and seal the positive electrode post 4 and the negative electrode post 3 to prevent electric leakage and liquid leakage.
[0027] An explosion-proof sheet 9 is provided in the middle of the top cover plate 1. A pressure relief hole penetrating through the top cover plate 1 is provided at the bottom end of the explosion-proof sheet 9. The explosion-proof sheet 9 is located inside the pressure relief hole. When the internal pressure of the battery cell is too high, the pressure accumulated inside the battery cell will break open the explosion-proof sheet 9, which can effectively prevent the battery cell from exploding.
[0028] An explosion-proof valve sticker 10 is provided at the top end of the explosion-proof sheet 9. The explosion-proof valve sticker 10 is located inside the pressure relief hole. After the explosion-proof sheet 9 and the explosion-proof valve sticker 10 are combined, they do not exceed the end face of the top cover plate 1. Not exceeding the end face of the top cover plate 1 can effectively protect the explosion-proof sheet 9 and the explosion-proof valve sticker 10 from being scratched or damaged by other external objects;
[0029] The protective film is located above the explosion-proof sheet 9. The explosion-proof sheet 9 can break when the internal pressure of the battery cell reaches the critical point, which can effectively prevent the battery cell from exploding due to excessive internal pressure. At the same time, the protective film can protect the explosion-proof sheet 9 from the outside and can effectively prevent the explosion-proof sheet 9 from being affected by the outside.
[0030] Round holes are provided at both ends of the top cover plate 1 corresponding to the positive electrode post 4 and the negative electrode post 3. Both the positive electrode post 4 and the negative electrode post 3 pass through the top cover plate 1 through the round holes and are connected to the connecting piece 12. The round holes are machined according to the dimensions of the positive electrode post 4 and the negative electrode post 3. Thus, the electrode posts pass through the top cover plate 1 and are connected to the connecting piece 12, and then connected to the positive electrode tab and the negative electrode tab to achieve electrical connection.
