Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of battery cover plates, in particular to a battery cover plate structure. Background Art

[0002] The battery cover structure is usually designed to protect the interior of the battery from physical damage and environmental factors, while ensuring the safety and reliability of the electrical connection. The battery cover assembly may include a cover, a sealing cover, a weld portion and other structures. A through hole may be formed on the cover, and the sealing cover is provided on the cover to seal the through hole. The weld portion is located between the sealing cover and the cover to achieve a sealed connection between the two. This design helps to enhance the connection strength between the cover and the sealing cover, reduce the difficulty of welding operations, improve assembly stability, and enhance sealing performance.

[0003] After searching, the patent document of "CN211125706U" mentioned that "the present disclosure relates to the field of battery technology, and in particular to a power battery cover plate structure and a lithium battery having the same. The power battery cover plate structure includes a base, an electrode terminal and a rubber-coated portion. The base is provided with an extraction hole; the electrode terminal includes an upper portion, a waist portion and a bottom portion, and the waist portion connects the upper portion and the bottom portion; after the bottom portion passes through the extraction hole, the electrode terminal can rotate relative to the base, so that the bottom portion is locked in the opening of the extraction hole in a direction perpendicular to the base portion. The upper portion and the bottom portion are respectively located on both sides of the base portion, and the waist portion is passed through the extraction hole. During installation, after the bottom portion passes through the extraction hole, the electrode terminal is rotated so that the bottom portion cannot be separated from the extraction hole, thereby completing the positioning and assembly of the electrode terminal and the base portion. The entire assembly process is relatively simple, the structure is simple, and the cost is low." During use, the design of the extraction hole and the rotating electrode terminal can complete the positioning and assembly of the electrode terminal and the base portion. However, during use, the installation method of the rotating electrode terminal is not stable, and the explosion-proof device and the cover plate base are designed as an integrated whole, which has high maintenance costs.

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] See also Figure 1-5 As shown, the utility model provides a technical solution: a battery cover structure, comprising a cover base 1 and a connecting mechanism 2, wherein the connecting mechanism 2 is installed on the upper and lower sides of the cover base 1;

[0027] The connecting mechanism 2 includes a connecting component 21 and a fuse component 22 . The connecting component 21 is installed on the inner side of the cover base 1 , and the fuse component 22 is installed on the upper side of the right end of the cover base 1 .

[0028] Furthermore, the connecting component 21 includes a connecting hole 211, a connecting screw 212, a connecting piece 213, a limiting clip 214, a sealing gasket 215 and a connecting terminal 216. A connecting hole 211 is opened on the inner side of the cover base 1, and a connecting screw 212 is installed on the inner side of the connecting hole 211. A connecting piece 213 is installed on the lower side of the connecting screw 212. A limiting clip 214 is provided on the lower side of the cover base 1, located on the outer side of the connecting piece 213. A sealing gasket 215 is installed on the upper side of the cover base 1, located on the outer side of the connecting screw 212. A connecting terminal 216 is installed on the outer top end of the connecting screw 212. When the battery cover is used, the connecting piece 213 connects the battery cell inside the battery. The connecting screw 212, the connecting piece 213 and the connecting terminal 216 are all made of conductive materials.

[0029] Furthermore, the outer dimension of the connecting piece 213 is comparable to the inner dimension of the limiting strip 214, the outer dimension of the connecting screw 212 is slightly smaller than the inner dimension of the sealing gasket 215, and the connecting screw 212 and the connecting terminal 216 are threadedly connected. When the battery cover is used, the connecting piece 213 is inserted into the limiting strip 214 to facilitate tightening the connecting terminal 216 to the outer side of the connecting screw 212. The connecting terminal 216 tightly installs the connecting piece 213, the cover base 1 and the sealing gasket 215, thereby ensuring the sealing of the battery cover.

[0030] Furthermore, the fuse assembly 22 includes a bayonet 221, a fuse bar 222, a connecting socket 223 and an electrode connector 224. The bayonet 221 is provided on the right side of the connecting terminal 216, the fuse bar 222 is installed on the inner side of the bayonet 221, the connecting socket 223 is installed on the outer side of the right end of the fuse bar 222, and the electrode connector 224 is installed on the right side of the connecting socket 223. When the battery cover is used, the fuse bar 222 can be used to melt the fuse bar 222 when the battery is overheated or short-circuited, thereby protecting the circuit and battery.

[0031] Furthermore, there is a movable connection between the bayonet 221 and the fuse bar 222, and a movable connection between the fuse bar 222 and the connecting socket 223. The bayonet 221 is made of conductive elastic material, and the electrode connector 224 and the cover base 1 are fixedly connected. When the battery cover is used, when the circuit fails and the fuse bar 222 melts, the fuse bar 222 can be removed from the bayonet 221 and the connecting socket 223 for replacement, which facilitates battery maintenance, saves costs, and saves manpower.

[0032] Furthermore, the connection component 21 and the fuse component 22 are movably connected, and two groups of the connection component 21 and the fuse component 22 are symmetrically arranged about the center line of the cover base 1. The movable connection between the connection component 21 and the fuse component 22 is conducive to the rapid replacement of damaged parts and saves maintenance costs.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in contrast to Example 1, as another embodiment of the present invention, an explosion-proof component 3 is provided on the middle inner side of the cover base 1, and the explosion-proof component 3 includes an explosion-proof tube 31, an explosion-proof port 32, a piston plate 33, a connecting rod 34, a piston bottom plate 35, a pressure port 36 and a spring 37.

There is a pressure port 36, and a spring 37 is installed between the explosion-proof tube 31 and the piston base plate 35. When the internal temperature of the battery rises due to overcharging, short circuit or other reasons, causing the internal pressure to increase rapidly, the piston plate 33 will be pushed up by the internal pressure when the preset bursting pressure is reached. This method allows the internal pressure to be released, reducing the risk of battery damage. When the pressure is released, the elastic action of the spring 37 presses the piston base plate 35 downward, pressing the piston plate 33 back to the explosion-proof port 32, so that the entire battery cover is restored to a sealed state, reducing the risk of battery damage and reducing battery maintenance costs.

[0035] Furthermore, the explosion-proof opening 32 and the piston plate 33 are of comparable size, the piston plate 33 and the connecting rod 34 are fixedly connected, and the explosion-proof opening 32 and the piston plate 33 fit tightly under the elastic force of the spring 37, ensuring that the battery cover remains sealed under normal use.

[0036] Working principle: First, move a battery cover structure to the working position. When in use, in the first step, insert the connecting screw 212 into the connecting hole 211, and place the sealing gasket 215 between the connecting terminal 216 and the cover base 1.
