Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of aluminum-cased battery cover plates, specifically a square aluminum-cased battery cover plate. Background Technology

[0002] The top cover is a crucial protective device in cases of puncture, thermal runaway, and fire. It reduces overcurrent and the likelihood of the flip-over plate melting, thus preventing the power battery from catching fire or exploding and effectively reducing the risk. Currently, lithium battery explosion-proof methods typically include two types: circuit breaking protection and pressure relief protection. Circuit breaking protection involves setting a special circuit breaking weld between the sealing plate and the electrode core inside the battery. When the internal gas pressure increases to a certain value due to gas generation, the sealing plate deforms under pressure, and the weld between it and the electrode core breaks, completely severing the circuit. Pressure relief protection involves installing an explosion-proof plate on the battery's sealing body. When the internal gas pressure rises to the opening pressure of the explosion-proof valve, the explosion-proof plate ruptures at the scored point and releases pressure, thereby preventing an explosion.

[0003] In the past, the main focus of cover plates was on explosion-proof and pressure relief, with treatment mainly done on explosion-proof valves. However, the insulation design structure was often neglected, which allowed the electrolyte to come into contact with other parts of the cover plate, leading to corrosion. This, in turn, affected the structural integrity and sealing performance of the cover plate, thus impacting the product yield.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a square aluminum battery cover. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a square aluminum battery cover plate in order to reduce corrosion caused by contact with electrolyte and improve product yield.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A square aluminum-cased battery cover includes a substrate. A positive electrode upper insulating pad and a negative electrode upper insulating pad are respectively installed at both ends of the upper surface of the substrate. An explosion-proof valve patch is installed in the middle of the upper surface of the substrate. An upper pressure plate one is connected to the side of the positive electrode upper insulating pad away from the substrate, and an upper pressure plate two is connected to the side of the negative electrode upper insulating pad away from the substrate. A sealing ring is installed on the lower surface of the substrate, and an explosion-proof sheet is installed on the lower surface of the substrate near the explosion-proof valve patch.

[0008] A second lower insulating pad is installed on the lower surface of the sealing ring near the upper insulating pad of the negative electrode. The lower surface of the second lower insulating pad is connected to the negative electrode post. A first lower insulating pad is installed on the lower surface of the sealing ring near the upper insulating pad of the positive electrode. The lower surface of the first lower insulating pad is connected to the positive electrode post.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the weld penetration depth of the positive electrode and the negative electrode is ≥0.5mm.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the torque in the X / Y / Z axes of the positive and negative terminals is not less than 6 N·m.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the first and second lower insulating pads are made of black flame-retardant modified PP.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the insulating pad on the positive electrode is made of black PPS, and the insulating pad on the negative electrode is made of brown PPS.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the explosion-proof valve patch is made of white transparent PET.

[0014] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] In this invention, when the battery ruptures and releases pressure during an internal reaction, the lower insulating pads one and two are made of modified fire-retardant PP material, possessing excellent insulation properties. This insulation effectively isolates the explosion-proof valve from direct contact with the electrolyte and also exhibits good corrosion resistance to various chemicals. In corrosive environments such as electrolytes, the pads remain stable and are not easily corroded, thus protecting the explosion-proof valve from damage. This allows the lower insulating pads one and two to minimize corrosion caused by contact between the explosion-proof valve and the electrolyte, providing a certain degree of protection for the explosion-proof valve. The combination of these structures reduces corrosion caused by contact with the electrolyte, improving product yield. Attached Figure Description

A positive electrode upper insulating pad 3 and a negative electrode upper insulating pad 4 are respectively installed at both ends of the upper surface of the substrate 1. An explosion-proof valve patch 2 is installed in the middle of the upper surface of the substrate 1. An upper pressure plate 5 is connected to the side of the positive electrode upper insulating pad 3 away from the substrate 1, and an upper pressure plate 6 is connected to the side of the negative electrode upper insulating pad 4 away from the substrate 1. A sealing ring 8 is installed on the lower surface of the substrate 1, and an explosion-proof sheet 7 is installed on the lower surface of the substrate 1 near the explosion-proof valve patch 2. A lower insulating pad 10 is installed on the lower surface of the sealing ring 8 near the negative electrode upper insulating pad 4, and a negative electrode post 12 is connected to the lower surface of the lower insulating pad 10. A lower insulating pad 9 is installed on the lower surface of the sealing ring 8 near the positive electrode upper insulating pad 3, and a positive electrode post 11 is connected to the lower surface of the lower insulating pad 9. The lower insulating pad 9 and the lower insulating pad 2 10 are made of black flame-retardant modified PP. Specifically, when the battery ruptures and releases pressure during an internal reaction, the lower insulating pad 9 and the lower insulating pad 2 10, made of modified fire-resistant PP material, have excellent insulation properties. This insulation effectively isolates the explosion-proof sheet from direct contact with the electrolyte and has good corrosion resistance to various chemicals. In corrosive environments such as electrolytes, the pads remain stable and are not easily corroded, thus protecting the explosion-proof valve from damage. This allows the lower insulating pad 9 and the lower insulating pad 2 10 to minimize corrosion caused by contact between the explosion-proof sheet 7 and the electrolyte, providing a certain degree of protection for the explosion-proof valve. The combination of the above structures can reduce corrosion caused by contact with the electrolyte and improve product yield.

[0024] Reference Figures 1-3The welding penetration depth of the positive electrode post 11 and the negative electrode post 12 is ≥0.5mm, and the torque in the X / Y / Z axis directions of the positive electrode post 11 and the negative electrode post 12 is not less than 6N.M. The insulating pad 3 on the positive electrode is made of black PPS, the insulating pad 4 on the negative electrode is made of brown PPS, and the explosion-proof valve patch 2 is made of white transparent PET. Specifically, PPS material has excellent electrolyte resistance, which can effectively resist the corrosion of battery liquid and protect the positive and negative electrodes from damage. Moreover, PPS material has excellent electrical insulation properties. As an insulating pad, it can ensure electrical isolation between the positive and negative electrodes, prevent electrical corrosion and breakdown, and improve the safety of the battery system.

[0025] The implementation principle of a square aluminum-cased battery cover plate embodiment of this application is as follows:

[0026] When the battery ruptures and releases pressure during an internal reaction, the lower insulating pads 9 and 10, made of modified fire-resistant PP material, possess excellent insulation properties. This insulation effectively isolates the explosion-proof valve from direct contact with the electrolyte and exhibits good corrosion resistance to various chemicals. In corrosive environments such as electrolytes, the pads remain stable and are not easily corroded, thus protecting the explosion-proof valve from damage. The lower insulating pads 9 and 10 minimize corrosion caused by contact between the explosion-proof valve 7 and the electrolyte, providing a certain degree of protection for the explosion-proof valve. The combination of these structures reduces corrosion caused by contact with the electrolyte, improving product yield.
