Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of lithium ion batteries, in particular to a liquid injection hole sealing structure. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing popularity of new energy vehicles, the production and consumption of power batteries are increasing, and the market's requirements for batteries are becoming increasingly stringent. In particular, after the secondary injection of lithium-ion batteries, the injection hole needs to be sealed to maintain a negative pressure environment within the casing to prevent external gas and moisture from entering the battery cell.

[0003] Repeated charge and discharge processes of the battery will lead to electrolyte loss, resulting in a decline in battery performance. The electrolyte in the battery needs to be replenished to ensure that the battery continues to work normally.

[0004] In most existing processes, the injection hole is welded shut after the electrolyte is injected, making the seal non-detachable and the electrolyte unable to be replenished, resulting in a low battery reuse rate.

[0005] To this end, we propose a liquid injection hole sealing structure to solve the problem that the electrolyte cannot be replenished after the liquid injection hole is welded and sealed. Utility Model Content

[0023] In the embodiment: the cover plate 3 is snap-fitted and assembled in the convex groove. The cover plate 3 can move left and right in the convex groove. A spring 2 is installed on the left side of the convex groove. Through the natural elastic force of the spring 2, the cover plate 3 is pressed to the right. At this time, the injection hole 13 on the top cover 1 and the countersunk hole 34 on the cover plate 3 are misaligned, and the misaligned injection hole 13 and the countersunk hole 34 achieve a sealing effect.

[0024] When electrolyte needs to be injected into the battery, first remove the screw 4, manually push the cover 3 to the left, the spring 2 is compressed, and the cover 3 moves to the left to connect the injection hole 13 with the countersunk hole 34. At this time, the electrolyte is directly injected into the battery through the connected countersunk hole 34 and the injection hole 13.

[0025] The cover plate 3 is a convex structure, which is composed of an upper adjustment block 31 and a lower adjustment block 32 . The upper and lower surfaces of the lower adjustment block 32 are both provided with sealing gaskets 33 .

[0026] In the embodiment, the sealing gaskets 33 on the upper and lower surfaces of the lower adjusting block 32 abut against the upper and lower surfaces of the lower groove 12 , so that the cooperation between the lower adjusting block 32 and the lower groove 12 realizes a sealing effect.

[0027] The convex groove consists of an upper groove 11 and a lower groove 12 . The widths of the upper groove 11 and the lower groove 12 are consistent, and the length of the lower groove 12 is greater than that of the upper groove 11 .
