[0031] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a structure composed of several parts, including an aluminum sheet 11, a positive electrode post 12, a negative electrode post 13, a sealing ring 14, a positive electrode injection molding 15, a negative electrode injection molding 16, an explosion-proof valve 17, an explosion-proof valve sticker 18, and a lower plastic sheet 19. In this structure, the positive electrode post 12 and the negative electrode post 13 pass sequentially through the lower plastic sheet's positive electrode through-hole 192 and negative electrode through-hole 193, and the aluminum sheet's positive electrode through-hole 111 and negative electrode through-hole 112, respectively. After assembling and fixing the lower plastic sheet 19, the sealing ring 14, the positive electrode post 12, the negative electrode post 13, and the aluminum sheet 11, the positive electrode injection molding 15 and the negative electrode injection molding 16 are used for fixation and positioning.

[0033] In order to ensure the gas flow of the lower plastic bottom, the lower plastic bottom is provided with a lower plastic extension plate 191, and a plurality of flow guide holes 1911 are arranged on the lower plastic extension plate, the flow guide holes correspond to the grating 20, and the flow guide holes are fixed with support ribs 21 on both sides, and the support ribs make the grating lower part and the lower plastic extension plate have an exhaust space 22. By changing the battery cover and adding a layer of lower plastic design, a gap for the first layer of explosion-proof valve opening hole is left for circulation, which ensures the smooth flow of gas and improves the opening stability of the explosion-proof valve, so that it can be blown at the normal opening pressure.

[0034] As an embodiment of the support rib, the height of the support rib is higher than the thickness of the grating, and after the lower plastic extension plate is fixed on the lower plastic bottom, the two support ribs are located on both sides of the grating and connected with the lower plastic, that is, the two support ribs are supported on the bottom of the lower plastic, and a certain space is supported between the grating and the lower plastic extension plate. Specifically, the height of the support rib is at least 0.5 mm greater than the thickness of the grating, so as to ensure sufficient support. The support rib is thickened, and a wall thickness of 1 mm is used to strengthen the support.

[0035] As another embodiment of the support rib, the distance between the two support ribs is less than the width of the grating, and after the lower plastic extension plate is fixed on the lower plastic bottom, the two support ribs are connected with the bottom of the grating. That is, the two support ribs are supported on the bottom of the grating, and compared with the first embodiment, the support rib is shorter, and a certain space can also be left between the grating and the lower plastic extension plate.

[0036] As an embodiment of the buckle structure, one end of the lower plastic extension plate is hinged with one end of the lower plastic, and the other end of the lower plastic extension plate is provided with a buckle 194, which is connected with the buckle hole 195 of the other end of the lower plastic. That is, one end of the lower plastic extension plate is connected with the lower plastic, and there is a connecting part between the two, and rotating the lower plastic extension plate can buckle the other side on the bottom of the lower plastic.

[0037] As another embodiment of the buckle structure, both ends of the lower plastic extension plate are provided with buckles, and the buckles are connected with the buckle holes of both ends of the lower plastic. That is, both ends of the lower plastic extension plate are provided with buckles, and the lower plastic extension plate and the lower plastic are separate, and can be fixed together through the buckles.

[0038] Further, in order to avoid the electrolyte from washing the pole piece, the bottom of the lower plastic extension plate is provided with a flow guide structure 23 located directly below the liquid injection hole of the aluminum sheet. By providing a barrier and flow guide structure below, direct washing of the electrolyte on the pole piece during liquid injection is avoided. Specifically, the flow guide structure includes a U-shaped flow guide plate 231, a through hole 232, and a flow guide hole 233, the through hole is provided on the lower plastic extension plate, both ends of the U-shaped flow guide plate are fixed on both ends of the through hole, and the flow guide hole is located on both sides of the U-shaped flow guide plate and communicates with the through hole. The electrolyte first impacts the flow guide plate and then flows into the pole piece from the flow guide holes on both sides, so that direct washing of the electrolyte on the pole piece can be avoided. In the embodiment, the U-shaped flow guide plate is arranged along the length direction of the lower plastic extension plate, and the flow guide holes are directed towards the width direction of the lower plastic extension plate.

[0039] The utility model discloses still a kind of battery, including pole group main body 2 and battery shell 3, pole group main body is installed in the battery shell, the upper portion of the battery shell is equipped with the lithium ion battery cover 1 as shown in Figure Figure 9 As shown, the battery cover in current design can produce gas when thermal safety fails, and the gas is discharged through the lower gasket opening below the explosion-proof valve. Since the cell is too close to the gasket, the exhaust is not smooth. Figure 8 As shown, the battery cover in the utility model design can discharge gas through the lower plastic extension plate (191) on both sides and the opening when thermal safety fails, and the gas flow is stronger than the existing design.

[0040] In addition, the design can also be applied to inverted cell design. If the existing design cover is used after the cell is inverted, it is more likely to block the flow of gas to the explosion-proof valve, so the design can make the opening pressure of the inverted cell more stable. However, it should be noted that the position of the explosion-proof valve in the longitudinal direction of the inverted cell needs to be paid attention to in order to prevent the influence of electrolyte corrosion on the opening pressure of the explosion-proof valve.

[0041] For those skilled in the art, without departing from the principles of the utility model, a number of improvements and refinements can be made, which should also be considered within the scope of protection of the utility model.
