[0010] Further, the pole post and the mounting hole are sealingly connected through a sealing piece.

[0011] The sealing piece seals the pole post and the mounting hole, improves the sealing performance of the cover plate, prevents gas leakage and liquid leakage, and improves the safety of the battery.

[0012] Further, the fixing ring further comprises a ring-shaped ring base and a transition part, the ring base, the transition part and the extension part are sequentially connected from the inner side to the outer side of the fixing ring to form a stepped structure; the extension part is located on the lower side of the mounting hole, and the transition part and the extension part are in contact with and press the sealing piece.

[0013] The ring base is sleeved outside the bottom end of the main body part, and plays a positioning and mounting role of the fixing ring and the pole post. The ring base is located on the lower side of the mounting hole, reduces the space occupation outside the mounting hole of the cover plate, can compress the volume of the fixing ring, and further improves the utilization rate of the internal space of the battery. The transition part and the extension part are in contact with and press the sealing piece, which can enhance the fixation of the sealing piece on one hand, and can compress the volume of the sealing piece to a certain extent, so as to compress the volume of the cover plate and reduce the occupation of the space below the cover plate.

[0014] Further, the ring base is provided with a positioning column, the pole post is provided with a positioning groove corresponding to the position of the positioning column, and the positioning column is assembled with the positioning groove.

[0016] Further, the extension part is provided with a sealing protrusion, and the insulating part is provided with a sealing groove corresponding to the position of the sealing protrusion, and the sealing protrusion is embedded in the sealing groove.

[0017] The sealing protrusion and the sealing groove cooperate with each other to increase the sealing performance of the sealing part and further prevent the cover plate from leaking.

[0018] Further, the included angle between the transition part and the extension part is 85°≤β≤100°.

[0019] According to the size of the included angle between the transition part and the extension part, the spacing between the ring base and the extension part is changed. When the included angle is an acute angle or an obtuse angle, the spacing between the ring base and the extension part which are parallel to each other is smaller than when the included angle is a right angle, so that the fixed ring occupies less space in the longitudinal direction, the fixed ring appears more flat, and the utilization rate of the internal space of the battery can be improved.

[0020] Further, the spacing between the top surface of the ring base and the bottom surface of the extension part is Z≥0.3mm.

[0021] The spacing between the top surface of the ring base and the bottom surface of the extension part determines the overall height of the metal ring, which is beneficial to reduce the occupation of space, and also can take into account the structural strength of the fixed ring.

[0022] Further, the top surface of the extension part is a slope surface, the slope surface contacts the sealing part, and the upper surface of the end of the slope surface away from the ring opening is higher than the upper surface of the end of the slope surface close to the ring opening.

[0023] The slope surface design of the extension part can increase the compression of the sealing part, so that the extension part and the sealing part are combined more closely, and the overall volume of the two can also be appropriately reduced, which increases the sealing performance of the sealing part while reducing the volume.

[0024] Further, the end of the main body part of the pole towards the battery is provided with a stepped part, and the ring base is sleeved outside the stepped part; at least part of the top surface of the ring base contacts the horizontal stepped surface of the stepped part, and / or at least part of the end surface of the ring base contacts the vertical stepped surface of the stepped part.

[0025] The stepped part of the pole can facilitate the positioning of the ring base and the pole, and the stepped surface forms a retreat space to accommodate the ring base, so that the ring base overlaps the pole, thereby reducing the occupation of the space of the cover plate by the fixed ring as much as possible and improving the space utilization rate. Moreover, the stepped part can limit the fixed ring to improve the structural stability. Part or all of the end surface or the top surface of the ring base contacts the horizontal or vertical stepped surface of the stepped part, and the assembly mode is various, so that the space under the cover plate can be reasonably utilized.

[0026] Further, the extension part is at least partially in contact with the sealing element on the top surface, and / or the extension part is at least partially in contact with the sealing element on the end surface.

[0027] Through the above technical solution, the extension part can cause different degrees of compression to the sealing element, reasonably compress the space under the cover plate, and improve the sealing performance of the sealing element to the cover plate. Part or all of the top surface or end surface of the extension part is in contact with the sealing element, which reasonably utilizes the space under the cover plate and has various contact modes.

[0028] Further, the main body part of the pole is provided with a step part on the side facing the battery cell, and the step part has at least one layer. The outer diameter of the step part gradually decreases towards the side of the battery cell, and the end surface of the main body part close to the side of the battery cell is used to install the connecting piece.

[0029] The step part has at least one layer. When the step part has two or more layers, the outer diameter of the step part closer to the side of the battery cell is smaller, which can form a blocking structure. When the fixing ring is a metal ring, the metal ring is welded with the step part of the non-minimum outer diameter, and the step part of the minimum outer diameter can be used as a blocking structure to prevent welding spatter from splashing onto the end surface of the step part of the minimum outer diameter, i.e. to prevent welding spatter from splashing onto the end surface of the main body part close to the side of the battery cell, thereby avoiding interference with the installation of the connecting piece on the end surface of the main body part close to the side of the battery cell.

[0030] Further, the connecting piece is provided with a positioning core, and the vertical projection of the positioning core covers the geometric center point of the end surface of the main body part close to the side of the battery cell. The positioning core penetrates or partially penetrates the connecting piece.

[0031] The connecting piece is used to connect the tab inside the battery with the pole, thereby completing the conduction of current. The positioning core can position the connecting piece when the connecting piece is welded with the pole, thereby reducing welding errors.

[0032] Further, the outer side end of the main body part is provided with a pole groove.

[0033] The pole groove can position the pole, which is conducive to the welding process.

[0034] Further, the pole is a composite structure, including an aluminum composite part and a copper composite part connected together, the step part is arranged in the copper composite part, and the fixing ring is a metal ring, and the metal ring is electrically connected with the copper composite part. The composite pole combines the advantages of copper conductivity, aluminum lightweight, and low price. Moreover, through special processing techniques such as cold rolling and composite casting, copper and aluminum can be tightly combined together to form a firm composite structure. This high bonding strength ensures that the pole terminal will not delaminate or fall off during use, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of current transmission. The metal ring is connected with the copper composite part, and the metal ring can be a copper ring. The welding process of two components made of the same material is simpler.

[0035] Further, the sealing member is a sealing ring, comprising an upper sealing and a lower sealing arranged separately.

[0036] The sealing ring has elasticity, and improves the sealing performance of the cover plate while providing insulation effect. The sealing ring is divided into an upper sealing and a lower sealing, and can be embedded in different positions of the cover plate, thereby improving the space utilization of the cover plate. The upper sealing can provide protection for the lower sealing, and when the sealing effect of the lower sealing is poor, the upper sealing can still provide good sealing performance for the cover plate to prevent the battery from leaking from the cover plate. The upper sealing and the lower sealing are pre-installed separately, which can reduce the assembly difficulty of the cover plate and ensure good sealing performance.

[0037] Further, the bottom of the base plate is connected with a stop frame, and the stop frame is provided with a retreat groove, and the extension part extends to the position of the retreat groove.

[0038] The stop frame is used for fixing the battery cover plate, ensuring the close fit between the cover plate and the battery shell, preventing displacement of the battery cover plate during use of the battery, and thereby ensuring the structural stability and safety of the battery. The retreat groove provides extension space for the extension part, which can improve the space utilization of the cover plate and save the internal space of the battery.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0055] The utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. The description herein is only based on the preferred embodiments of the utility model, and other modes capable of realizing the utility model can be conceived by those skilled in the art on the basis of the preferred embodiments, and the other modes also fall within the scope of the utility model.

[0056] Embodiments

[0057] With reference to Figures 1-8 The embodiment provides a battery cover plate for sealing a battery housing, comprising a base plate 400 having a mounting hole 410; a pole 100 and a fixing sleeve 160, the pole 100 comprising a main body part 170 and an extension part 150 connected to each other, the fixing sleeve 160 being sleeved on the extension part 150 and fixed on the upper side of the base plate 400, and the bottom end of the main body part 170 being at least partially located in the mounting hole 410; a fixing ring 200 having an extension part 240 on the outer periphery; the fixing ring 200 is clamped with the mounting hole 410 through the extension part 240, and is sleeved on the outside of the bottom end of the main body part 170.

[0058] It can be understood that the extension part 150 of the pole 100 is connected with the fixing sleeve 160, and the fixing sleeve 160 is fixed on the base plate 400, so that the pole 100 and the base plate 400 are kept fixed. The fixing ring 200 is clamped on the lower side of the mounting hole 410 through the extension part 240, and the extension part 240 of the fixing ring 200 does not need to occupy extra cover plate space, which is beneficial to improve the space utilization rate of the battery. The fixing ring 200 is sleeved on the outside of the bottom end of the main body part 170, and the fixing ring 200 can be assembled together with the pole 100 as an integral part, the process is simple, the integral part is connected with the connecting piece 300, the production process can be optimized, and the assembly difficulty is reduced; and the connecting piece 300 is no longer arranged on the pole 100 in the cover plate production stage, but is welded with the pole 100 and the tab in the later production stage of the battery monomer, so that the deformation problem of the connecting piece 300 does not need to be worried in the transfer stage of the cover plate.

[0059] Furthermore, a plurality of fixing grooves are arranged on the upper surface of the base plate 400 along the outer periphery of the mounting hole 410, and a plurality of fixing columns matched with the fixing grooves are arranged below the fixing sleeve 160. Generally, the specific number of the plurality of fixing grooves and fixing columns is 1-5, and can be more. The fixing columns and the fixing grooves form a rotation-stopping structure of the fixing sleeve 160, preventing the fixing sleeve 160 and the pole 100 from deflecting on the base plate 400, and increasing the stability of the fixed assembly of the pole 100 and the base plate 400. It should be noted that in some embodiments, for example, Figure 1As shown, the fixing sleeve 160 is in a structure of a circular truncated cone on the top and a square on the bottom. The upper circular truncated cone and the lower square structure are integrally injection molded. During injection molding, the material not only covers the pole 100 to form the upper circular truncated cone structure, but also synchronously forms the lower square rotation-stopping structure. The bottom surface of the rotation-stopping structure has a fixing column penetrating into the fixing groove. The fixing sleeve 160 can protect the pole 100, preventing the risk of electric current caused by accidental contact with the pole 100.

[0060] It should be noted that the pole 100 and the mounting hole 410 are sealingly connected through the sealing member 500. The sealing member 500 seals the pole 100 and the mounting hole 410, improves the sealing performance of the cover plate, prevents gas and liquid leakage, and improves the safety of the battery.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 4 As shown, the fixing ring 200 includes a ring base 220, a transition part 230, and an extension part 240, which are sequentially connected from the inside to the outside of the ring opening 210 of the fixing ring 200 to form a stepped structure. The ring base 220 is sleeved on the outside of the bottom end of the main body part 170, and plays a positioning and mounting role of the fixing ring 200 and the pole 100. The extension part 240 is located on the lower side of the mounting hole 410, reduces the space occupation outside the mounting hole 410 of the cover plate, can compress the volume of the fixing ring 200, and further improves the utilization rate of the internal space of the battery. The transition part 230 and the extension part 240 are in contact with and extrude the sealing member 500, which can enhance the fixation of the sealing member 500 and compress the volume of the sealing member 500 to a certain extent, thereby compressing the volume of the cover plate and reducing the occupation of the space below the cover plate.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 5 As shown, the ring base 220 is provided with a positioning column 221, and the pole 100 is provided with a positioning groove corresponding to the position of the positioning column 221. The positioning column 221 is assembled with the positioning groove. The combination of the positioning column 221 and the positioning groove positions the fixing ring 200 and the pole 100. When the fixing ring 200 is a metal ring, the positions of the two do not deviate during welding, so that the welding seam is uniform and full, preventing the cover plate from leaking.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 6 As shown, the extension part 240 is provided with a sealing protrusion 241, and the sealing member 500 is provided with a sealing groove corresponding to the position of the sealing protrusion 241. The sealing protrusion 241 is embedded in the sealing groove. The sealing protrusion 241 and the sealing groove cooperate with each other to increase the sealing performance of the sealing member 500, further preventing the cover plate from leaking. It can be understood that the sealing member 500 is made of an elastic material at this time, and the sealing effect is better. The sealing protrusion 241 is arranged around the ring opening 210, and correspondingly, the sealing groove is a groove arranged around the sealing member 500.

[0064] Further, as shown in Figure 7 The angle between the transition portion 230 and the extension portion 240 is 85°≤β≤100°. According to the size of the angle between the transition portion 230 and the extension portion 240, the distance between the ring base 220 and the extension portion 240 is changed. When the angle β is an acute angle or an obtuse angle, the distance between the ring base 220 and the extension portion 240 which are parallel to each other is smaller when the angle β is a right angle, so that the fixed ring 200 occupies less space in the longitudinal direction, the fixed ring 200 appears more flat, and the utilization rate of the internal space of the battery can be improved.

[0065] It should be noted that, as shown in Figure 5 The distance between the top surface of the ring base 220 and the bottom surface of the extension portion 240 is Z≥0.3mm. The distance between the top surface of the ring base 220 and the bottom surface of the extension portion 240 determines the overall height of the fixed ring 200, which is beneficial to reduce the space occupied by the fixed ring 200. At the same time, when the fixed ring 200 is a metal ring, the overall height of the fixed ring 200 can take into account the structural strength and flow capacity of the fixed ring 200.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present application, the top surface and the bottom surface of the extension portion 240 are both planar structures. In addition, in order to improve the limiting effect of the fixed ring 200 on the sealing element 500, the top surface of the extension portion 240 is a slope surface, the slope surface contacts the sealing element 500, and the upper surface of the slope surface away from the one end of the ring opening 210 is higher than the upper surface of the slope surface close to the one end of the ring opening 210. The slope surface design of the extension portion 240 can increase the compression of the sealing element 500, so that the extension portion 240 and the sealing element 500 are combined more tightly, and the overall volume of the two can be appropriately reduced, which increases the sealing performance of the sealing element 500 while reducing the volume.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 9As shown, the end of the main body 170 of the pole 100 facing the battery cell is provided with a stepped portion 130, and the ring mouth 210 is sleeved outside the stepped portion 130; the at least partial top surface of the ring base 220 is in contact with the horizontal stepped surface 131 of the stepped portion 130, and / or the at least partial end surface of the ring base 220 is in contact with the vertical stepped surface 132 of the stepped portion 130. The stepped portion 130 of the pole 100 can facilitate the positioning of the ring mouth 210 and the pole 100, and the stepped surface forms a retreat space that can accommodate the ring base 220, so that the ring base 220 overlaps the pole 100, thereby minimizing the occupation of the cover plate space by the fixing ring 200 and improving the space utilization. Moreover, the stepped portion 130 can limit the fixing ring 200 and improve the structural stability. The end surface or the top surface of the ring base 220 is partially or completely in contact with the horizontal or vertical stepped surface of the stepped portion 130, and the assembly mode is various, so that the space under the cover plate can be reasonably utilized.

[0068] In some embodiments, the extension 240 is in contact with the seal 500 at least partially on the top surface, and / or the extension 240 is in contact with the seal 500 at least partially on the end surface. When the top surface or part of the top surface of the extension 240 is in contact with the seal 500, the extension 240 is horizontally arranged. When the end surface or part of the end surface of the extension 240 is in contact with the seal 500, the end surface of the extension 240 is tilted and in contact with the seal 500. When the top surface, part of the top surface, and the end surface, part of the end surface of the extension 240 are in contact with the seal 500, the extension 240 is arranged obliquely. The extension 240 can compress the seal 500 to different degrees, reasonably compress the space under the cover plate, and improve the sealing performance of the seal 500 to the cover plate. The top surface or the end surface of the extension 240 is partially or completely in contact with the seal 500, and the space under the cover plate is reasonably utilized, and the contact mode is various.

[0069] In some embodiments, the main body 170 of the pole 100 is provided with a stepped portion 130 on the side facing the battery cell. The stepped portion 130 has at least one layer, and the outer diameter of the stepped portion 130 gradually decreases towards the side of the battery cell. The end surface of the main body 170 near the side of the battery cell is used to install the connecting piece 300. The stepped portion 130 has at least one layer. When the stepped portion 130 has two or more layers, the outer diameter of the stepped portion 130 near the side of the battery cell is smaller, and a blocking structure can be formed. When the fixing ring 200 is a metal ring, the metal ring is welded with the stepped portion 130 of the non-minimum outer diameter, and the stepped portion 130 of the minimum outer diameter can be used as a blocking structure to prevent welding spatter from splashing onto the end surface of the stepped portion 130 of the minimum outer diameter, i.e., to prevent welding spatter from splashing onto the end surface of the main body 170 near the side of the battery cell, thereby avoiding interference with the installation of the connecting piece 300 on the end surface of the main body 170 near the side of the battery cell. It can be understood that the connecting piece 300 is provided with a positioning core 310, and the positioning core 310 vertically projects to cover the geometric center point of the end surface of the main body 170 near the side of the battery cell. The positioning core 310 penetrates or partially penetrates the connecting piece 300. The connecting piece 300 is used to connect the tab inside the battery with the pole 100, thereby completing the conduction of current. The positioning core 310 can position the connecting piece 300 when the connecting piece 300 is welded with the pole 100, thereby reducing welding errors.

[0070] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 8 The outer side end of the main body 170 of the pole 100 is provided with a pole groove 140, which can position the pole 100 and facilitate the welding process.
