In addition, the terms "first", "second" are only used to distinguish in the description, and have no special meaning.

[0029] Referring to Figures 1-3 , in the first aspect, the utility model provides a pole assembly, including pole body 1, upper plastic 2, insulating piece 3 and sealing ring 4, pole body 1 includes first part 11 and second part 12, first part 11 protrudes second part 12 and is arranged, that is, the cross-sectional area of first part 11 is greater than the cross-sectional area of second part 12, upper plastic 2 is connected with the side wall of first part 11, insulating piece 3 is arranged on the side of first part 11 towards second part 12 and is connected with upper plastic 2, sealing ring 4 is arranged between second part 12 and insulating piece 3.

[0030] In the embodiment, the pole body 1 is vertically arranged, the first part 11 is arranged on the side of the pole body 1 away from the battery cell, the first part 11 is in a stepped structure, the cross-sectional area of the end of the first part 11 away from the second part 12 is greater than the cross-sectional area of the end of the first part 11 toward the second part 12, and the first part 11 and the second part 12 are integrally arranged; the upper plastic 2 is sleeved on the first part 11, the insulating part 3 is in a ring structure, the outer wall of the insulating part 3 abuts against the inner wall of the upper plastic 2, the insulating part 3 is sleeved on the sealing ring 4, the inner wall of the insulating part 3 abuts against the outer wall of the sealing ring 4, the upper plastic 2, the insulating part 3 and the sealing ring 4 are all made of insulating materials, the melting point of the material of the insulating part 3 is higher than the melting point of the material of the upper plastic 2, and the inner wall of the sealing ring 4 abuts against the outer wall of the second part 12.

[0031] Therefore, when the battery is in a high-temperature environment, if the upper plastic 2 melts and loses the insulation performance, since the insulating part 3 is made of a high-temperature-resistant material, the insulating part 3 can maintain the insulation connection between the pole body 1 and the cover body 5, so as to avoid the short circuit phenomenon between the pole body 1 and the cover body 5, and improve the insulation performance and safety performance of the battery in the high-temperature environment; the insulating part 3 abuts against the sealing ring 4 and the upper plastic 2 respectively, so as to improve the sealing performance between the pole body 1 and the cover body 5.

[0032] It can be understood that the upper plastic 2 can be made of a plastic material, and the sealing ring 4 can be made of a rubber material, and the specific materials of the upper plastic 2, the insulating part 3 and the sealing ring 4 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs, which will not be enumerated here.

[0033] Referring to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the insulating part 3 is made of a ceramic material.

[0034] Therefore, the ceramic material has a high resistivity, can effectively isolate the current, has high-temperature resistance and chemical stability, can withstand a high temperature and maintain the insulation performance, is not easy to chemically react with the electrolyte, and is not easy to be extruded and deformed, so as to improve the structural strength of the connection between the pole body 1 and the cover body 5 and improve the insulation performance and safety performance of the battery in the high-temperature environment.

[0035] It can be understood that in other embodiments, the insulating part 3 can also be made of a high-temperature-resistant silica gel material, which can maintain the insulation performance and safety performance in a high-temperature environment, and is not limited to ceramic materials and silica gel materials, which will not be described here.

[0036] Referring to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the end face of the first part 11 toward the second part 12 and the end face of the insulating part 3 toward the first part 11 are arranged with a gap, that is, there is a gap between the end face of the first part 11 toward the second part 12 and the end face of the insulating part 3 toward the first part 11.

[0037] Therefore, when the insulating piece 3 is made of ceramic material, the gap between the first part 11 and the insulating piece 3 can avoid the excessive pressure of the pole body 1 on the insulating piece 3 when the pole assembly is assembled on the cover body 5, so as to avoid the damage of the insulating piece 3 and improve the safety performance of the pole assembly. Since the sealing ring 4 is tightly connected with the cover body 5 and the pole body 1 respectively, the gap between the first part 11 and the insulating piece 3 can avoid affecting the sealing performance of the connection between the pole body 1 and the cover body 5.

[0038] It can be understood that the end surface of the first part 11 towards the second part 12 can also abut the end surface of the insulating piece 3 towards the first part 11, which will not be described here.

[0039] Referring to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the upper plastic 2 is provided with a receiving groove 21 and a connecting groove 22, the insulating piece 3 is at least partially located in the receiving groove 21, and the first part 11 is at least partially located in the connecting groove 22, so that the insulating piece 3 and the first part 11 are clamped with the upper plastic 2, and the receiving groove 21 and the connecting groove 22 are spaced apart in the height direction of the upper plastic 2.

[0040] In the embodiment, the receiving groove 21 and the connecting groove 22 are both annular grooves, and the receiving groove 21 and the connecting groove 22 are coaxially arranged, the side wall and part of the top surface of the insulating piece 3 abut the inner wall of the receiving groove 21, part of the side wall and the stepped surface of the first part 11 abut the inner wall of the connecting groove 22, and the top surface of the first part 11 protrudes from the top surface of the upper plastic 2.

[0041] Therefore, the sealing ring 4 and the receiving groove 21 can limit the relative position of the insulating piece 3 and the pole body 1, and the connecting groove 22 can limit the position of the first part 11 and the upper plastic 2, so as to improve the assembly stability of the pole assembly. Since the insulating piece 3 is stably arranged on the pole body 1, the insulating piece 3 is not easy to be deviated and fall off in a high temperature environment, so as to improve the insulation performance and safety performance of the battery in the high temperature environment.

[0042] It can be understood that the positions of the receiving groove 21 and the connecting groove 22 on the upper plastic 2 can be adjusted according to the shape of the pole assembly, which will not be limited in the embodiment.

[0043] Referring to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the depth of the receiving groove 21 is greater than the depth of the connecting groove 22. That is, the inner side wall of the receiving groove 21 is closer to the outer wall of the upper plastic 2 than the inner side wall of the connecting groove 22.

[0044] In the embodiment, the projection of the first part 11 on the side wall of the one end of the insulating member 3 in the thickness direction of the pole body 1 is located inside the projection of the insulating member 3 in the thickness direction of the pole body 1, that is, the projection of the first part 11 in the thickness direction of the pole body 1 partially overlaps the projection of the insulating member 3 in the thickness direction of the pole body 1.

[0045] In this way, when the battery is in a high-temperature environment, even if the upper plastic 2 melts due to high temperature, the insulating member 3 and the sealing ring 4 can prevent the first part 11 from abutting against the cover body 5 and forming a short circuit, thereby improving the insulation performance of the battery in a high-temperature environment, and further improving the safety performance and stability performance of the battery.

[0046] It can be understood that the depth of the accommodating groove 21 can also be equal to or less than the depth of the connecting groove 22, and the depth of the accommodating groove 21 and the depth of the connecting groove 22 can be flexibly adjusted according to the size of the insulating member 3 and the first part 11, which will not be enumerated here.

[0047] Referring to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the width of the sealing ring 4 is greater than the width of the insulating member 3, and the thickness of the sealing ring 4 is greater than the thickness of the insulating member 3. In the embodiment, the sealing ring 4 abuts against the side of the first part 11 facing the second part 12 and the cover body 5 at both ends, respectively, and the end face of the sealing ring 4 facing the first part 11 protrudes from the end face of the insulating member 3 facing the first part 11.

[0048] In this way, the sealing ring 4 can enhance the sealing performance of the connection between the pole body 1 and the cover body 5, and further insulate the connection between the pole body 1 and the cover body 5, thereby improving the insulation performance and safety performance of the battery; the thickness of the sealing ring 4 is greater than the thickness of the insulating member 3, so that the both ends of the sealing ring 4 can abut against the pole body 1 and the cover body 5 tightly after the pole assembly is assembled.

[0049] It can be understood that the width of the sealing ring 4 can also be equal to or less than the width of the insulating member 3, and the thickness of the sealing ring 4 can also be equal to or less than the thickness of the insulating member 3, and the size of the sealing ring 4 and the insulating member 3 can be flexibly adjusted according to the size of the pole body 1, which will not be enumerated here.

[0050] Referring to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the thickness of the insulating member 3 is 0.55 mm, and the thickness of the sealing ring 4 is 0.7 mm.

[0051] In this way, it can be ensured that the insulating member 3 has sufficient thickness to insulate the connection between the pole body 1 and the cover body 5, thereby improving the insulation performance of the battery in a high-temperature environment, and the thickness of the sealing ring 4 is greater than the thickness of the insulating member 3, thereby improving the sealing performance of the connection between the pole body 1 and the cover body 5.

[0052] It can be understood that the thickness of the insulation piece 3 and the thickness of the sealing ring 4 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs, which will not be repeated here.

Among them, cover plate body 5 is light aluminum sheet structure, pole body 1 is fixedly connected with cover plate body 5 by riveting.

[0054] Further, the side of cover plate body 5 away from first part 11 (that is, the side of cover plate body 5 away from the outside) is fixedly connected with lower plastic 6, the shape of lower plastic 6 is adapted to the shape of cover plate body 5, and lower plastic 6 is made of insulating material.

[0055] It can be understood that the materials of lower plastic 6 and upper plastic 2 can be the same or different, and the present embodiment does not limit this.

[0056] Referring to Figures 1-3 In some embodiments, upper plastic 2, insulation piece 3 and sealing ring 4 are all arranged on the side of cover plate body 5 towards first part 11 (that is, the side of cover plate body 5 towards the outside).

[0057] In this way, arranging upper plastic 2, insulation piece 3 and sealing ring 4 on the same side of cover plate body 5 can facilitate the assembly of pole assembly to cover plate body 5 and improve the sealing performance of the connection between cover plate body 5 and pole body 1. When the battery is in a high-temperature environment, insulation piece 3 can separate pole body 1 from cover plate body 5, preventing short circuit between pole body 1 and cover plate body 5 and battery overheating or even explosion, and improving the safety performance of the battery.

[0058] Referring to Figure 1 , the utility model provides a kind of battery, including shell 7, electric core (not shown in the figure) and cover plate, cover plate body 5 is fixedly connected with shell 7, and electric core is arranged in the inside of shell 7. Among them, shell 7 and cover plate body 5 are fixedly connected by welding, and electric core is arranged in the space enclosed by shell 7 and cover plate body 5;Shell 7 is hollow cylindrical structure.

[0059] In this way, when the battery is in a high-temperature environment, insulation piece 3 can keep insulation connection between pole body 1 and cover plate body 5, and sealing ring 4 can enhance the sealing performance of the connection between pole body 1 and cover plate body 5, thereby improving the safety performance of the battery in a high-temperature environment.
