Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of power batteries, in particular to a sealing ring limiting pole, a battery top cover structure and a battery core. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous advancement of battery technology, battery safety and reliability have become critical factors that cannot be ignored during the design and manufacturing process. Throughout the battery life cycle, from the initial design stage to the final manufacturing stage, every detail is crucial. In particular, during the critical step of battery packaging, ensuring the seal between the battery terminal and the battery cover is not only fundamental to preventing battery short circuits and leakage, but also a key guarantee for improving overall battery performance.

[0003] However, a common problem has emerged in current battery packaging processes: during assembly of the terminal post and the sealing ring on the cover, the sealing ring often rebounds. This phenomenon can not only cause electrolyte leakage within the battery but can also cause a short circuit, severely impacting battery performance and lifespan. Therefore, developing a cover structure that effectively addresses this issue has become a pressing challenge for the battery manufacturing industry. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a sealing ring limiting pole, a battery top cover structure and a battery cell, so as to solve the problem that the pole and the sealing ring of the battery top cover in the prior art are assembled, and the sealing ring rebounds and causes electrolyte leakage.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a sealing ring limiting pole, wherein the sealing ring is arranged between the limiting pole and the battery cover, comprising:

[0006] A connecting seat and a connecting column with one end provided on the connecting seat, wherein a sealing ring limiting groove is provided at one end of the connecting column, the groove depth of the sealing ring limiting groove is less than the diameter of the sealing ring, the sealing ring is sleeved in the sealing ring limiting groove, and the outer ring portion of the sealing ring protrudes outside the sealing ring limiting groove;

[0007] The sealing ring limiting pole is assembled with the battery cover, and the other end of the connecting pole passes through the corresponding mounting hole on the battery cover. The sealing ring protruding outside the sealing ring limiting groove seals the gap between the connecting pole and the mounting hole.

[0008] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention further provides a battery top cover structure, comprising:

[0009] Positive electrode column and negative electrode column, the positive electrode column and negative electrode column adopt the above-mentioned sealing ring to limit the electrode column;

[0012] As a more preferred embodiment, the battery top cover structure further includes a lower plastic part, and the connecting seat is provided on the lower plastic part.

[0013] As a more preferred method, the connecting seat is provided with an anti-foolproof structure, and the lower plastic part is provided with a mounting groove adapted to the anti-foolproof structure to prevent the positive electrode column and the negative electrode column from being installed upside down.

[0014] As a more preferred embodiment, a first C-angle structure is provided at one end of the connecting column, and the sealing ring limiting groove is formed by the cross-section of the first C-angle structure and the end face of the connecting seat. In this way, when the sealing ring is set in the sealing ring limiting groove, one side of the sealing ring is completely limited by the end face of the connecting seat. When the sealing ring is released to the other side, the sealing ring moves along the cross-section, and the inner ring of the sealing ring expands. The cross-section it receives applies a reverse rebound force to the sealing ring, thereby achieving limitation on the other side of the sealing ring.

[0016] As a more preferred method, the C-angle angle θ1 of the first C-angle structure at one end of the connecting column satisfies: 90°≥θ1≥30°. In this way, because the C-angle processing is convenient and quick, the production efficiency is increased, and at the same time, sufficient limiting force can be provided to achieve the limitation of the sealing ring.

[0017] As a more preferred embodiment, the battery top cover structure further comprises an upper plastic part, the upper plastic part is provided with a positioning hole, and the other end of the sealing ring limiting pole passes through the positioning hole and is connected to the upper plastic part.

[0018] As a more preferred embodiment, the other end of the connecting column is provided with a hobbing structure or a knurling structure along its circumference to increase the friction between the connecting column and the upper plastic part and to increase the anti-torque force between the connecting column and the upper plastic part.

[0019] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention further provides a battery cell, comprising: the above battery top cover structure.

[0020] As described above, the sealing ring limiting pole, battery top cover structure, and battery cell of the present invention have the following beneficial effects: when the sealing ring limiting pole of the present invention is assembled with the sealing ring and the top cover, the sealing ring is directly limited in position by the sealing ring limiting groove, and at the same time, the sealing ring protruding outside the sealing ring limiting groove seals the gap between the connecting column and the mounting hole, thereby achieving the limiting of the sealing ring without affecting the sealing function of the sealing ring and reducing the risk of the sealing ring rebounding and deflecting;

[0021] The battery top cover structure of the utility model adopts the above-mentioned sealing ring limiting pole to achieve the limitation of the sealing ring, making the sealing performance of the sealing ring more stable;

[0022] The battery cell of the present invention adopts the above-mentioned battery top cover structure, which improves the overall sealing ability, reduces the probability of electrolyte leakage in the battery cell, avoids the occurrence of battery short circuit, and thus improves the performance and service life of the battery;

[0023] The sealing ring limiting pole, battery top cover structure and battery cell of the utility model realize the limiting of the sealing ring without affecting the sealing function of the sealing ring through the structural design of the sealing ring limiting groove, thereby improving the sealing ability and safety, and solving the problem of electrolyte leakage caused by the rebound of the sealing ring in the assembly of the pole and the sealing ring of the battery top cover in the prior art.

[0051] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention further provides a battery top cover structure, comprising:

[0052] Positive electrode column and negative electrode column, the positive electrode column and negative electrode column adopt the above-mentioned sealing ring limiting electrode column 1;
