Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to battery technology field especially relates to a battery cover plate and battery monomer. BACKGROUND

[0002] Lithium ion battery has become the representative of modern high performance battery because of its high working voltage, high specific energy, large capacity, small self-discharge, good cycle performance, long service life, light weight and small size.

[0003] In the existing lithium ion battery, the cover plate and the shell are welded and sealed to package the pole group inside, wherein the side surface of the cover plate facing the pole group is provided with a lower plastic, and the lower plastic abuts against the top of the pole group to limit the pole group.

[0004] At present, the lower plastic is usually made of PP material, and its melting point is generally about 150 DEG C. When the lithium ion battery is in thermal runaway, the temperature inside the shell is much higher than 150 DEG C, which causes the lower plastic to melt, thereby losing the limiting effect on the pole group. In addition, when the lithium ion battery is in thermal runaway, the air pressure inside the shell rises rapidly, so that the explosion-proof valve on the cover plate opens to discharge the high-pressure gas in the shell. However, since the lower plastic loses the limiting effect on the pole group after melting, the pole group moves with the high-pressure gas in the shell and blocks the explosion-proof valve, greatly reducing the exhaust effect of the explosion-proof valve, and thereby reducing the safety performance of the lithium ion battery.

[0005] Therefore, it is urgent to provide a battery cover plate and a battery monomer to solve the above technical problems. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
