[0031] In the present embodiment, pole 1 and conductive block 2 are both made of conductive material, the diameter of first part 11 of pole 1 is less than the diameter of second part 12, mounting hole 21 is arranged at the center position of conductive block 2, the axis of mounting hole 21 is parallel to the thickness direction of conductive block 2, and mounting hole 21 is a straight hole, that is, the hole diameter of mounting hole 21 is constant, the end face of first part 11 away from second part 12 is fixedly connected with conductive block 2 by laser welding, and second part 12 is clamped with cover plate body 3.

[0032] In this way, the fixed connection of first part 11 and conductive block 2 and the clamping of second part 12 and cover plate body 3 can save the pre-riveting and main riveting processes, simplify the structure of pole 1 and conductive block 2, and further simplify the processing steps of pole 1 and conductive block 2, thereby reducing the assembly steps and improving the production efficiency, and the side wall of first part 11 is spaced apart from the inner wall of mounting hole 21, which can avoid the friction between first part 11 and conductive block 2 when first part 11 is assembled onto conductive block 2, and reduce the production yield.

[0033] It can be understood that second part 12 can also be fixedly connected with cover plate body 3, and the connection mode of second part 12 and cover plate body 3 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs, which will not be enumerated here.

[0034] Referring to Figure 2In some embodiments, the end surface of the first part 11 away from the second part 12 is smooth, that is, the end surface of the first part 11 away from the second part 12 is not provided with protrusions and recesses. In this embodiment, the end surface of the first part 11 away from the second part 12 is located below the plane on the side of the conductive block 2 away from the battery cell.

[0035] In this way, after omitting the pre-riveting and main riveting processes, the first part 11 is directly welded to the conductive block 2, the pole 1 does not need to be further processed to form a tapered counterbore to improve the connection stability of the pole 1 and the conductive block 2, the structure of the pole 1 is simplified, the assembly efficiency and production efficiency are improved, and the process cost can be reduced.

[0036] It can be understood that the shape of the end surface of the first part 11 away from the second part 12 and the shape of the end surface of the second part 12 away from the first part 11 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual design needs, and are not limited to a plane, which will not be repeated here.

[0037] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the conductive block 2 is provided with a sink groove 22, the sink groove 22 is arranged at one end of the mounting hole 21 away from the battery cell and communicates with the mounting hole 21, the sink groove 22 is coaxially arranged with the mounting hole 21, and the end surface of the first part 11 away from the second part 12 is flush with the bottom surface of the sink groove 22. The side of the sink groove 22 away from the mounting hole 21 communicates with the outside, so that the concave pole 1 is arranged inside the conductive block 2, and the sink groove 22 is a cylindrical groove.

[0038] In this way, by providing the sink groove 22 on the conductive block 2, the welding line can be prevented from being too high and too wide when the first part 11 is laser welded to the conductive block 2, so as to affect the subsequent welding and assembly of the battery cell; the pole 1 and the conductive block 2 are more beautiful and stable after assembly, and the structural stability of the cover plate assembly is improved.

[0043] Further, referring to Figure 3 , the distance between the side wall of the first part 11 and the inner wall of the mounting hole 21 is 0.025 mm.

[0044] It can be understood that the distance between the side wall of the first part 11 and the inner wall of the mounting hole 21 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs, and is not limited to 0.025 mm. If the distance between the side wall of the first part 11 and the inner wall of the mounting hole 21 is too large, the welding between the first part 11 of the pole 1 and the conductive block 2 may be poor. If the distance between the side wall of the first part 11 and the inner wall of the mounting hole 21 is too small, metal chips may be generated by friction between the first part 11 and the conductive block 2 during assembly, which affects the assembly effect.

[0047] In the embodiment, the length direction of the lower plastic 4 is parallel to the length direction of the cover plate body 3, and the lower plastic 4 is fixedly connected with the cover plate body 3. The upper plastic 6 and the lower plastic 4 are both made of insulating material, and the pole 1 is arranged through the lower plastic 4, the cover plate body 3, the upper plastic 6 and the conductive block 2 in sequence.

The sealing ring 5 is sleeved on the second part 12, the maximum outer diameter of the sealing ring 5 is smaller than the diameter of the end of the second part 12 away from the first part 11, so as to limit the position of the sealing ring 5 on the second part 12, the sealing ring 5 abuts against the outer side wall of the cover plate body 3 and the second part 12 respectively, and the sealing ring 5 is arranged below the conductive block 2.

[0051] Thus, the sealing ring 5 can enhance the sealing performance between the pole 1 and the cover plate body 3, and the sealing ring 5 is sleeved on the pole 1, which facilitates the assembly of the pole 1 and the sealing ring 5 to the cover plate body 3, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the cover plate assembly.

[0052] It should be noted that when assembling the cover plate assembly, the sealing ring 5 is sleeved on the second part 12, the conductive block 2 is placed in the upper plastic 6, the pole 1 provided with the sealing ring 5 is arranged to pass through the lower plastic 4, the cover plate body 3, the upper plastic 6 and the conductive block 2 to realize the superposition assembly, the cover plate assembly is compressed by starting the supercharged cylinder, and the first part 11 of the pole 1 and the conductive block 2 are welded to realize the assembly of the cover plate assembly.

[0053] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the lower plastic 4 is provided with a containing groove 42 arranged at the end of the clamping groove 41 away from the battery cell and communicating with the clamping groove 41, the sealing ring 5 is at least partially arranged in the containing groove 42, and the outer wall of the sealing ring 5 is arranged in space with the inner wall of the containing groove 42, that is, there is a gap between the outer wall of the sealing ring 5 and the containing groove 42.

[0054] In this embodiment, the end of the sealing ring 5 away from the first part 11 is arranged in the containing groove 42, so as to limit the relative position of the sealing ring 5 and the lower plastic 4.

[0055] Thus, the sealing ring 5 is at least partially arranged in the containing groove 42, which can avoid the deviation of the sealing ring 5 during assembly and compression and affect the sealing effect, facilitate the limitation of the position of the sealing ring 5 and the pole 1 during the assembly of the cover plate assembly, and improve the assembly efficiency.

[0056] Referring to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of the accommodation groove 42 away from one end of the battery cell is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the accommodation groove 42 towards one end of the battery cell, that is, the accommodation groove 42 is a circular truncated cone-shaped groove.

[0057] In this way, the gap between the accommodation groove 42 and the sealing ring 5 can avoid the sealing ring 5 from being extruded excessively and failing during assembly, and avoid the cover plate body 3 from being warped and deformed due to extrusion during assembly, so that the cover plate assembly can maintain good assembly effect and structural strength after being compressed by the booster cylinder.

[0058] It can be understood that the accommodation groove 42 can also be a cylindrical groove, and the shape of the accommodation groove 42 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs, which will not be described here.
