[0035] The battery top cover structure provided in this embodiment has high structural strength and good product performance.
[0036] Specific as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the battery top cover structure includes a top cover sheet 100, a lower plastic 200, and a terminal 400. A snap-fit groove 101 is provided on the end face of the top cover sheet 100, which is closest to the battery cell. A snap-fit assembly is provided on the end face of the lower plastic 200, which faces away from the battery cell. The lower plastic 200 and the top cover sheet 100 are fitted together, with the snap-fit assembly hooked into the snap-fit groove 101. The terminal 400 passes through the lower plastic 200 and the top cover sheet 100, and is riveted to the top cover sheet 100 and the lower plastic 200, respectively.
[0037] Based on the above design, the pole 400 sequentially penetrates the lower plastic 200 and the top cover 100, and is riveted to the top cover 100 and the lower plastic 200. The pole 400 rivets the lower plastic 200 to the end surface of the top cover 100 near the battery cell (i.e., the bottom end surface of the top cover 100). The lower plastic 200 and the top cover 100 are placed in close contact, and the snap assembly hooks into the snap groove 101, resulting in a simple snap connection and high structural strength. In addition to riveting the lower plastic 200 and the top cover sheet 100 together through the terminal 400, the battery top cover structure also achieves a snap connection between the lower plastic 200 and the top cover sheet 100 by hooking the snap assembly on the lower plastic 200 into the snap groove 101 of the top cover sheet 100. This increases the connection strength between the lower plastic 200 and the top cover sheet 100, avoids excessive gap between the lower plastic 200 and the top cover sheet 100, and thus improves the structural strength and product performance of the battery top cover.
[0038] Optionally, the top cover sheet 100 is an aluminum sheet.
[0039] During the installation of the battery top cover, the lower plastic 200 is first placed on the aluminum sheet near the battery cell (i.e., the bottom of the aluminum sheet), and the buckle assembly is buckled in the clamping groove 101 of the aluminum sheet. Then, the pole 400 is arranged through the lower plastic 200 and the aluminum sheet from the side of the lower plastic 200 near the battery cell, and the lower plastic 200 and the aluminum sheet are connected by riveting and pressing the pole 400.
[0040] In order to facilitate the riveting and pressing of the lower plastic 200 to the aluminum sheet by the pole 400, in this embodiment, the pole 400 includes a column body and a base, the column body is connected with the base, the column body is arranged through the lower plastic 200 and the aluminum sheet from the bottom of the lower plastic 200 in sequence, the side wall of the column body connects the lower plastic 200 and the aluminum sheet, and the base abuts against the end face of the lower plastic 200 near the battery cell, i.e., the bottom of the lower plastic 200.
[0041] Optionally, in order to increase the connection strength of the pole 400, the side wall of the column body is usually welded to connect the lower plastic 200 and the aluminum sheet.
[0042] Further, the buckle assembly includes the elastic buckle 310, which applies a force in the opposite direction to the lower plastic 200 and the top cover sheet 100 until the elastic buckle 310 is squeezed and buckled into the clamping groove 101. By using the elasticity of the elastic buckle 310, the elastic buckle 310 can be elastically squeezed into the clamping groove 101, and the squeezing and installation are simple. Moreover, the elastic buckle 310 is made of elastic material, which has good elasticity and is not easy to break, thereby increasing the connection strength of the lower plastic 200 and the top cover sheet 100, and further increasing the stability of the battery top cover structure. In addition, since the lower plastic 200 has a certain elasticity, the elastic buckle 310 is arranged on the lower plastic 200, the lower plastic 200 and the elastic buckle 310 can be made of the same material, and the assembly and processing of the lower plastic 200 and the elastic buckle 310 are simple.
[0043] Optionally, the lower plastic 200 and the elastic buckle 310 are integrally formed.
[0044] Further, as shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , in order to increase the connection strength of the lower plastic 200 and the top cover sheet 100, the top cover sheet 100 is provided with a plurality of clamping grooves 101, and the buckle assembly includes a plurality of elastic buckles 310, and the plurality of clamping grooves 101 and the plurality of elastic buckles 310 correspond one by one.

[0046] In the embodiment, the top cover sheet 100 is rectangular, and the plurality of clamping grooves 101 are arranged in an array.
[0047] From the economic point of view, the shape characteristics of the top cover sheet 100, and the structural strength, the plurality of clamping grooves 101 are evenly divided into two groups, and the plurality of clamping grooves 101 in each group are evenly arranged along the length direction of the top cover sheet 100, and the two groups of clamping grooves 101 are located near the two ends of the width direction of the top cover sheet 100. And the clamping grooves 101 are arranged at the peripheral position of the side of the top cover sheet 100 close to the battery cell, avoiding other structures on the battery top cover structure, and further increasing the adhesion of the lower plastic 200 and the top cover sheet 100.
[0048] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the clamping grooves 101 can also extend through the length direction of the top cover sheet 100, and the two clamping grooves 101 are located near the two ends of the width direction of the top cover sheet 100. Each elastic clamping hook 310 extends continuously along the length direction of the lower plastic 200.
[0049] As shown in Figure 4 each elastic clamping hook 310 includes a connecting rod 312 and a clamping head 311, the connecting rod 312 is connected to the lower plastic 200, and the clamping head 311 is located at the end of the connecting rod 312 and can be clamped into the clamping groove 101. The structure of the elastic clamping hook 310 is simple, easy to process, and the clamping head 311 is arranged to clamp into the clamping groove 101, so that the lower plastic 200 and the top cover sheet 100 are connected and installed simply.
[0050] In some embodiments, the clamping heads 311 of the two groups of elastic clamping hooks 310 which are opposite along the width direction of the top cover sheet 100 are arranged opposite to each other along the width direction of the top cover sheet 100.
[0051] In the embodiment, the clamping heads 311 of the two groups of elastic clamping hooks 310 which are opposite along the width direction of the top cover sheet 100 are arranged opposite to each other along the width direction of the top cover sheet 100.
[0052] Of course, in other embodiments, the direction of the clamping head 311 of the elastic clamping hook 310 can be other directions, and the utility model does not make specific limitation on this.
[0053] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The battery top cover structure further includes a sealing ring 500, the sealing ring 500 is sleeved on the pole 400 and seals the connection between the pole 400 and the top cover sheet 100 and the lower plastic 200.

And a certain number of elastic buckles 310 are distributed between the positive pole and the negative pole 400 to avoid the length of the battery top cover structure being too long, so that the middle part of the lower plastic 200 sags.
[0058] Therefore, the battery top cover structure includes two sealing rings 500, two upper plastics 600 and two aluminum blocks 700. In the present embodiment, the structure and assembly mode of the positive pole and the negative pole are the same, and will not be described here. In other embodiments, the structure and assembly mode of the positive pole and the negative pole can also be different, and can be set according to the use needs.
[0059] An explosion-proof valve is further provided at the middle part of the length direction of the top cover sheet 100 and the lower plastic 200, i.e. before the positive pole and the negative pole.
