After the colloidal plastic is cured, the upper plastic is formed.

[0004] However, when the riveting block is placed in the lower mold, the problem of skewing of the riveting block easily occurs, which reduces the positional accuracy of the upper plastic wrapped on the riveting block, making it impossible to guarantee the insulation between the riveting block and the top cover sheet.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a battery top cover and a single cell battery to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Utility Model

In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meanings.

[0039] This embodiment provides a battery top cover, which can improve the position accuracy of the first plastic part wrapped around the riveting block body, thereby ensuring the insulation between the riveting block body and the top cover sheet.

[0040] Specifically, as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the battery top cover includes a top cover sheet 100, a riveting block 200, and a first plastic part 300. Among them, the riveting block 200 includes a riveting block body 210 and a first boss 220. The riveting block body 210 includes a first surface 211 and a second surface 212 arranged opposite to each other. The first boss 220 protrudes from the first surface 211. A slope 221 is provided on the side wall of the first boss 220. The slope 221 extends along the circumferential direction of the first boss 220 and forms a closed-loop structure. Along the direction from the second surface 212 towards the first surface 211, the slope 221 is inclined towards the direction close to the center of the first boss 220. The riveting block body 210 can be placed into an injection mold (not shown in the figure). An annular support is provided in the injection mold. The slope 221 is configured to abut against the annular support. The first plastic part 300 is arranged on the top cover sheet 100, and the first plastic part 300 wraps around the riveting block body 210.

[0041] The injection mold for preparing the first plastic part 300 generally includes an upper mold and a lower mold. The upper mold and the lower mold are detachably snap-connected. The above-mentioned annular support is arranged in the lower mold. When the first surface 211 of the riveting block body 210 faces the lower mold and the riveting block body 210 is placed into the lower mold, the production worker holds the riveting block body 210 and places the riveting block body 210 into the lower mold. When the slope 221 of the closed-loop structure contacts the annular support, the production worker releases the riveting block body 210. Under the action of gravity, the riveting block body 210 continues to move downward into the lower mold. At this time, the annular support slides relative to the slope 221 of the closed-loop structure until the annular support abuts against the slope 221 of the closed-loop structure, and the riveting block body 210 stops moving. Since the slope 221 of the closed-loop structure abuts against the annular support, the probability of the riveting block body 210 being skewed in the lower mold can be reduced. Furthermore, the position accuracy of the first plastic part 300 wrapping around the riveting block body 210 can be improved, which plays a role in ensuring the insulation between the riveting block body 210 and the top cover sheet 100. And, for the technical solution provided in this embodiment, after the production worker places the riveting block body 210 into the lower mold, the problem of the riveting block body 210 being skewed in the lower mold can be solved by the annular support abutting against the slope 221 of the closed-loop structure. Therefore, there is no need for the production worker to manually adjust the position of the riveting block body 210 in the lower mold, which has the effects of simplifying the production operation and improving the production efficiency.

[0042] It should be noted that the specific structures of the above-mentioned upper mold and lower mold are all prior arts and will not be elaborated here.

[0043] Preferably, the first boss 220, the riveting block body 210, and the annular support are coaxial. When the riveting block body 210 stops sliding in the lower mold, this structural design can maintain the balance of the riveting block body 210 and further prevent the riveting block body 210 from being skewed.

[0044] Optionally, the included angle between the slope surface 221 and the first surface 211 is 40° - 70°. Exemplarily, the included angle between the slope surface 221 and the first surface 211 can be 40°, 45°, 60° or 70°, etc., so that the riveting block body 210 can be smoothly and gently placed into the lower die, that is, the sliding of the annular support member relative to the slope surface 221 is smooth and gentle.

[0045] Optionally, as Figures 1 to 3 shown, the first plastic part 300 also wraps around the slope surface 221, thereby expanding the volume of the first plastic part 300 wrapped on the riveting block 200, improving the reliability of the connection between the first plastic part 300 and the riveting block 200, and also expanding the volume of the first plastic part 300, having the effect of improving the structural strength of the first plastic part 300. In addition, when welding the riveting block 200 and the pole column 400, heat is usually dissipated through the first plastic part 300. The design of expanding the volume of the first plastic part 300 is beneficial to improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the first plastic part 300.

[0046] Optionally, as Figures 1 to 6 shown, a first groove 213 is provided on the riveting block body 210, a first limiting portion 2131 protrudes from the inner wall of the first groove 213, a second limiting portion 310 protrudes from the first plastic part 300, a second groove 311 is provided on the side wall of the second limiting portion 310, the second limiting portion 310 is embedded in the first groove 213, and the first limiting portion 2131 is embedded in the second groove 311, thereby preventing the problem of warping of the first plastic part 300 during curing. When the first plastic part 300 has a tendency to deform, the first limiting portion 2131 can limit the inner wall of the second groove 311 to prevent the first plastic part 300 from deforming and warping, and thus can improve the reliability and stability of the first plastic part 300 wrapping the riveting block 200.

[0047] It should be noted that the groove depth of the first groove 213, the groove width of the first groove 213, the groove depth of the second groove 311, the groove width of the second groove 311, the volume of the first limiting portion 2131 and the volume of the second limiting portion 310 can all be determined according to actual application requirements and production requirements, and will not be elaborated here.

[0048] Furthermore, as Figures 1 to 6 shown, the first limiting portion 2131 extends along the circumferential direction of the first groove 213 and is in a closed-loop structure, and the second groove 311 extends along the circumferential direction of the second limiting portion 310 and is in a closed-loop structure to improve the limiting effect of the first limiting portion 2131 on the inner wall of the second groove 311.

[0049] Even further, as Figures 1 to 6As shown, the number of the first grooves 213 and the second limiting parts 310 is multiple and they correspond to each other one by one. The multiple first grooves 213 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the riveting block body 210, so as to further reduce the probability of deformation and warping of the first plastic part 300. In this embodiment, the number of the first grooves 213 is four. In other implementation schemes, the number of the first grooves 213 can also be two, three, five, etc.

[0050] Preferably, as Figures 1 to 6 shown, the first grooves 213 are formed on the second surface 212. Since the first convex platform 220 protrudes from the first surface 211 of the riveting block body 210, the volume of the first plastic part 300 wrapped on the first surface 211 is small. If the first plastic part 300 is deformed, the probability of deformation and warping of the first plastic part 300 wrapped on the first surface 211 and the slope surface 221 is relatively large. If the first plastic part 300 in this area is deformed and warped, a gap will be generated between the first plastic part 300 and the first surface 211 and the slope surface 221, that is, the first plastic part 300 will be deformed and warped in the direction away from the second surface 212. In this embodiment, the first grooves 213 are formed on the second surface 212, which is beneficial for the first limiting part 2131 to apply a force towards the second surface 212 on the inner wall of the second groove 311, thereby preventing the first plastic part 300 from being deformed and warped in the direction away from the second surface 212.

[0051] Optionally, as Figures 1 to 6 shown, the battery top cover further includes a pole column 400. The pole column 400 is located on the side of the top cover sheet 100 away from the first plastic part 300. The pole column 400 penetrates through the top cover sheet 100 and the first plastic part 300 and is connected to the riveting block body 210 to realize the connection between the pole column 400 and the riveting block body 210.

[0052] Furthermore, as Figures 1 to 7 shown, a connection groove 410 is provided on the side of the pole column 400 facing the riveting block body 210, and a protruding part 214 is provided on the side of the riveting block body 210 facing the pole column 400. The protruding part 214 is inserted into the connection groove 410. This structural design can expand the connection area between the pole column 400 and the riveting block body 210, thereby improving the reliability of their connection, and can also increase the maximum current passing amount between the pole column 400 and the riveting block body 210.

[0053] In other implementation schemes, the protruding part 214 can also be provided on the side of the pole column 400 facing the riveting block body 210, and the connection groove 410 can be provided on the side of the riveting block body 210 facing the pole column 400, which can be determined according to actual application requirements.

[0054] Optionally, as Figures 1 to 7As shown, the riveting block 200 further includes a second boss 230. The second boss 230 protrudes from a side of the first boss 220 facing away from the first surface 211, and the second boss 230 protrudes from the first plastic part 300. The second boss 230 is used for electrically connecting to other electrical components outside the single cell.

[0055] Optionally, as Figures 1 to 7 shown, the battery top cover further includes a sealing ring 500, an explosion-proof valve 600, a second plastic part 700, and a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) patch (not shown in the figure). Among them, the sealing ring 500 is sleeved on the pole post 400 so that the pole post 400 and the top cover sheet 100 are hermetically connected through the sealing ring 500. The explosion-proof valve 600 is arranged on the top cover sheet 100. The second plastic part 700 covers the surface of the top cover sheet 100 on the side facing away from the first plastic part 300. The PET patch is attached to the surface of the top cover sheet 100 on the side facing away from the second plastic part 700.

[0056] The riveting block 200 in this embodiment is made of an aluminum block. Of course, other materials can also be selected in other implementation schemes, which can be determined according to actual applications and production requirements.

[0057] In this embodiment, there are two pole posts 400, sealing rings 500, first plastic parts 300, and riveting blocks 200 respectively and they correspond to each other one by one. One of the two pole posts 400 is a positive pole post and the other is a negative pole post.

[0058] This embodiment also provides a single cell. There is relatively reliable insulation between the riveting block body 210 of the single cell and the top cover sheet 100.

[0059] Specifically, the single cell includes a battery case, an electric core, and the above-mentioned battery top cover. The electric core is arranged in the battery case, and the top cover sheet 100 covers the opening of the battery case. The single cell adopts the above-mentioned battery top cover. The position accuracy of the first plastic part 300 wrapped on the riveting block body 210 is relatively high, thereby improving the insulation reliability between the riveting block body 210 and the top cover sheet 100.

[0060] Obviously, the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention are only examples for clearly explaining the present invention, rather than limiting the implementation manners of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, various obvious changes, re-adjustments, and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation manners here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
