Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of lithium-ion battery technology, specifically relating to an electrode post, a battery cover assembly, and a battery. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, lithium-ion batteries are widely used in automobiles and energy storage systems. The cost and safety of battery cell structural components are mainly concentrated in the battery cover, which accounts for a large part of the cost of battery cell structural components. Due to its complex structure, the battery cover has high requirements for process stability, which affects the safety of the battery cell.

[0003] The applicant recently filed an application for a battery cover and battery, application number: CN2023222921164. The battery cover includes a plain aluminum plate. On both sides of the plain aluminum plate, a positive electrode pressure plate and a positive electrode coating structure are connected sequentially from top to bottom, as are a negative electrode pressure plate and a negative electrode coating structure. The plain aluminum plate is connected to a lower gasket via a negative electrode connecting plate and a positive electrode connecting plate. The positive and negative electrode pressure plates, positive and negative electrode coatings, and positive and negative electrode connecting plates are riveted together to form an integral battery cover structure. This riveting method eliminates the need for drilling during riveting, ensuring a tight seal. Another example is a Chinese patent that discloses a battery cover and battery, application number: CN2021220876610. The battery cover includes a connecting piece, a terminal post, a first coating portion, and a second coating portion. The connecting piece has a terminal hole; the connecting piece on the outer periphery of the top of the terminal hole is rolled inward to form a rolled edge portion, and the rolled edge portion has a hole-shaped or groove-shaped anti-rotation portion; a second adhesive portion covers the rolled edge portion and the terminal, and the second adhesive portion fills the anti-rotation portion and the first through hole. In this battery cover structure, the second adhesive portion covers the rolled edge portion and fills the anti-rotation portion, restricting the rotation of the second adhesive portion relative to the rolled edge portion; at the same time, the second adhesive portion fills the first through hole, restricting the rotation of the terminal relative to the second adhesive portion, ultimately preventing the terminal relative to the connecting piece from rotating.

In both of these structures, the bottom of the electrode post occupies a portion of the space inside the cell, resulting in wasted space in the height direction of the cell, which leads to a smaller cell and a reduction in the energy density of the cell.
