[0026] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a reusable rechargeable lithium battery is provided.

[0027] Example 1;

[0028] like Figure 1-7 As shown, the reusable rechargeable lithium battery according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a tail plate structure 1.

The metal sheet positive electrode 103 is fixedly connected to a steel shell structure 2. The steel shell structure 2 is connected to a head plate structure 3. An LED light 309 is provided on the head plate structure 3.

[0029] The tail plate structure 1 has three polarities: the positive electrode 101 of the center solder pad is the positive electrode of the battery, the negative electrode 102 of the middle ring is the negative electrode of the battery, the positive electrode 103 of the outer metal plate is the positive electrode of the battery, the copper pillar at the center of the protective positive electrode connects to the current collector 305 of the head, and the three contact pads 304 are nickel plates, which are also positive electrodes of the battery. The steel shell 201 is used to protect the battery and connects the contact pads 304, the nickel plates, and the outer ring of the positive electrode 103 of the metal plate structure 1 through the connecting ear 202. The battery can be charged by the negative ring 102 and the ring of the positive electrode 101 when it is installed in the flashlight.

[0030] The steel shell structure 2 includes a steel outer shell 201 and a connecting lug 202, with the connecting lug 202 provided at one end of the steel outer shell 201.

The bracket 301 has the PCB board 302 mounted on it, and the head barley paper 303 covers the PCB board 302. The head barley paper 303 has three slots. Three sets of contact pads 304 are positioned on the PCB board 302 opposite to the slots. A central point at one end of the PCB board 302 is... The head current collector 305 has a pressure relief hole 310 on the PCB board 302, the LED light 309 is connected to the PCB board 302, a C interface 307 is provided on one side of the PCB board 302, a disassembly spring 308 is provided between the bracket 301 and the PCB board 302, the connecting ear 202 matches the contact pad 304, an insulating pad 5 is glued to the head barley paper 303, the insulating pad 5 and the head barley paper 303 have a lamp hole 306, and the pressure relief hole 310 is connected to a pressure relief structure 4.

[0032] Bracket 301 is used to mount PCB board 302, which is also called a protection board. Its main functions are as follows:

[0033] Overcharge protection: When the battery reaches full charge, the charging current is cut off to prevent the battery from being damaged or causing a fire due to overcharging.

[0034] Over-discharge protection: When the battery discharges to the lowest voltage level, the discharge stops to prevent irreversible damage caused by deep discharge.

[0035] Overcurrent protection: In the event of a short circuit or other abnormally high current, the circuit is cut off to protect the battery and other devices.

[0036] Temperature monitoring: Equipped with temperature monitoring function to prevent the battery from operating at excessively high or low temperatures.

[0037] The barley paper 303 at the head is mainly used for insulation. The pressure relief hole 310, together with the pressure relief structure 4, relieves the pressure of the battery to prevent the battery from cracking and exploding due to thermal expansion. The C interface 307 is a conventional Type-C interface, used to connect to a power source or electrical appliance via a Type-C data cable for charging and discharging the battery. The disassembly spring 308 is used to allow the PCB board 302 to pop out easily after the connector ear 202 is disassembled from the contact pad 304, improving disassembly efficiency. The LED light 309 is mainly a charging indicator light, installed in the lamp hole 306. When the battery is charging, the light is red; when the battery is fully charged, the light is green. The light emitted by the LED light shines through the lamp hole 306, thus serving as an indicator light.

[0038] The pressure relief structure 4 includes a connecting groove 401, a fixed plate 402, a first spring 403, a pressure relief plate 404, an adjusting rod 405, a second spring 406, a disassembly plate 407, a positioning rod 408, and a threaded hole 409. The fixed plate 402 is fixedly connected in the connecting groove 401. A pressure relief port is opened in the center of the fixed plate 402. The adjusting rod 405 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 402. The pressure relief plate 404 is slidably connected to the adjusting rod 405. The first spring 403 is provided between the pressure relief plate 404 and the fixed plate 402. A limiting plate is provided in the connecting groove 401. The second spring 406 is provided between the limiting plate and the pressure relief plate 404. The disassembly plate 407 is fixedly connected to the pressure relief plate 404. A threaded hole 409 is opened on one side of the disassembly plate 407. The positioning rod 408 is fixedly connected to one side of the disassembly plate 407.

[0039] There are four adjusting rods 405, each with a different length, decreasing clockwise. The pressure relief plate 404 has slots that match the adjusting rods 405. The main pressure relief port of the fixed plate 402 is the main pressure relief port. Due to the combined action of the first spring 403 and the second spring 406, when the battery is in its normal state and does not require pressure relief, three of the pressure relief slots on the pressure relief plate 404 are blocked by the adjusting rods 405, leaving only the shortest adjusting rod 405 unblocked. When the battery pressure relief increases, the pressure relief plate 404 slides on the adjusting rods 405 due to the gas pressure. Each time it slides outward a certain distance, one more pressure relief slot is opened, thus achieving the function of graded pressure relief. At the same time, it can prevent debris from entering the pressure relief slots and blocking them, improving the connectivity of the pressure relief slots and reducing the risk of blockage.

[0040] To facilitate understanding of the above-mentioned technical solutions of this utility model, the working principle or operation method of this utility model in actual process will be described in detail below.

[0041] In summary, with the help of the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model, the tail plate structure 1 has three polarities: the positive electrode 101 of the center solder pad is the positive electrode of the battery, the negative electrode 102 of the middle ring is the negative electrode of the battery, the positive electrode 103 of the outer ring metal sheet is the positive electrode of the battery, the copper pillar at the center of the protective positive electrode connects to the current collector 305 at the head of the battery, and the three contact pads 304 are nickel sheets, which are also positive electrodes of the battery. The steel shell 201 is used to protect the battery and connects the contact pads 304 and the nickel sheets of the positive electrode through the connecting ears 202. The tail plate structure 1 includes a metal plate with a positive electrode 103 and an outer ring. The battery, when inserted into the flashlight, can be charged via the negative ring 102 and the positive pad 101. The head barley paper 303 is primarily used for insulation. The pressure relief hole 310, in conjunction with the pressure relief structure 4, relieves pressure on the battery, preventing rupture and explosion due to thermal expansion. The C interface 307 is a standard Type-C interface, used to connect to a power source or appliance via a Type-C data cable for charging and discharging the battery. The disassembly spring 3... 08 is used to facilitate the easy ejection of the PCB board 302 after the contact pad 304 is removed from the connecting ear 202, improving disassembly efficiency. There are four adjusting rods 405, each with a different length, decreasing clockwise. The pressure relief plate 404 has slots that match the adjusting rods 405. The pressure relief port of the fixed plate 402 is the main pressure relief port. Due to the combined action of the first spring 403 and the second spring 406, when the battery is in normal condition and does not need to be depressurized, three of the pressure relief slots of the pressure relief plate 404 are blocked by the adjusting rods 405, leaving only the shortest adjusting rod 405 unblocked. When the battery pressure relief increases, the pressure relief plate 404 slides on the adjusting rods 405 due to the gas pressure. Each time it slides outward a certain distance, one more pressure relief slot is opened, thus achieving the function of graded pressure relief. At the same time, it can prevent debris from entering the pressure relief slots and blocking them, improving the connectivity of the pressure relief slots and reducing the risk of blockage.
