[0031] Please combine Figures 1 to 6 with the drawings, the top cover assembly provided by the utility model will be described. The top cover assembly is used in the battery shell of the power battery.

[0032] The top cover assembly comprises: a top cover 1, the top cover 1 has a pole hole 11 and a deformation structure, the deformation structure is arranged on the circumferential outer side of the pole hole 11, and the deformation structure is located on the outer side of the top cover 1 or the inner side of the top cover 1.

[0033] It can be understood that the top cover 1 of the top cover assembly has a pole hole 11 and a deformation structure, the deformation structure is arranged on the circumferential outer side of the pole hole 11, and the deformation structure is located on the outer side of the top cover 1 or the inner side of the top cover 1. Due to the thinning of the thickness of the connection position of the existing top cover 1 and the pole 100, the internal air pressure of the top cover 1 is greater than the external air pressure during the test of the top cover assembly, and air leakage will occur at the connection position of the top cover 1 and the pole 100. Therefore, due to the arrangement of the deformation structure, the deformation structure of the top cover 1 is more easily deformed during the test of the top cover assembly, thereby avoiding air leakage caused by deformation at the connection position of the top cover 1 and the pole 100, and achieving the test requirements.

[0034] In addition, due to the arrangement of the deformation structure, the deformation structure of the top cover 1 will be deformed during the test of the top cover assembly, so that the top cover 1 can be thinner, thereby saving costs.

[0035] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 , the deformation structure is a groove 2, the groove 2 is arranged around the pole hole 11, and the groove 2 is circular or polygonal. Specifically, the groove 2 has various shapes, such as a circular shape or a polygonal shape, for example, a square shape.

[0036] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 6 , a plurality of grooves 2 are arranged, each groove 2 is arc-shaped, and the plurality of grooves 2 are symmetrically arranged about the center of the pole hole 11. In this way, the groove 2 has various arrangement shapes.

[0037] In the embodiment, the top cover 1 assembly further includes a protrusion 3, the protrusion 3 is arranged on the circumferential outer side of the pole hole 11, the groove 2 is arranged on one of the outer side of the top cover 1 and the inner side of the top cover 1, and the protrusion 3 is arranged on the other of the outer side of the top cover 1 and the inner side of the top cover 1. Specifically, when the groove 2 is arranged on the outer side of the top cover 1, the protrusion 3 is arranged on the inner side of the top cover 1, and when the groove 2 is arranged on the inner side of the top cover 1, the protrusion 3 is arranged on the outer side of the top cover 1. In this way, during the test of the top cover assembly, deformation will occur at the positions of the groove 2 and the protrusion 3 of the top cover 1.

[0038] Specifically, the orthographic projection of the protrusion 3 and the groove 2 on the top cover 1 along the axial direction of the pole hole 11 coincides.

[0039] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 4 , the groove 2 and the protrusion 3 have various arrangement modes:

[0040] In one embodiment, a plurality of grooves 2 are arranged, the groove 2 is linear, and the groove 2 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the pole hole 11, a plurality of protrusions 3 are arranged, and the protrusion 3 is arranged one by one corresponding to the groove 2. In this way, the top cover 1 can be deformed at the positions of the linear groove 2 and the protrusion 3.

[0041] In another embodiment, the plurality of grooves 2 are arranged symmetrically on both sides of the pole hole 11, and the plurality of protrusions 3 are arranged correspondingly to the plurality of grooves 2.

[0042] In an embodiment, the inner wall of the pole hole 11 is provided with a first step and a second step, and the connection between the first step and the second step is provided with a reinforcing structure. The reinforcing structure is arranged at the connection between the first step and the second step, so that the inner wall of the pole hole 11 increases in structural strength, thereby reducing the deformation of the top cover 1 at the position of the pole 100 to meet the test requirements. Specifically, the reinforcing structure is an arc-shaped transition from the first step to the second step.

[0043] The utility model also provides a kind of battery shell, battery shell includes shell, pole 100 and the top cover 1 component of any embodiment described above, shell and top cover 1 component are enclosed to form enclosed space, pole 100 is installed in pole hole 11. Specifically, pole 100 is fixed in pole hole 11 by encapsulation.

[0044] It can be understood that the battery shell of the utility model uses the top cover assembly described above, so that

[0045] The top cover 1 of the top cover assembly has a pole hole 11 and a deformation structure, the deformation structure is arranged on the circumferential outer side of the pole hole 11, and the deformation structure is located on the outer side of the top cover 1 or the inner side of the top cover 1. Since the thickness of the connection position between the existing top cover 1 and the pole 100 is thinned, the internal air pressure of the top cover 1 is greater than the external air pressure during the test of the top cover assembly, and air leakage will occur at the connection position between the top cover 1 and the pole 100. Therefore, since the deformation structure is arranged, it is easier to deform at the position of the deformation structure of the top cover 1 during the test of the top cover assembly, thereby avoiding air leakage caused by deformation at the connection position between the top cover 1 and the pole 100, to meet the test requirements.

[0046] In addition, since the deformation structure is arranged, the top cover 1 will deform at the position of the deformation structure during the test of the top cover assembly, so that the top cover 1 can be thinner, thereby saving costs.

[0048] It can be understood that the power battery of the utility model uses the top cover assembly of the battery shell, so that the top cover 1 of the top cover assembly has the pole hole 11 and the deformation structure, the deformation structure is arranged on the circumferential outside of the pole hole 11, and the deformation structure is located on the outside of the top cover 1 or the inside of the top cover 1. Since the thickness of the connecting position of the existing top cover 1 and the pole 100 is thinned, the internal air pressure of the top cover 1 is greater than the external air pressure during the test of the top cover assembly, and air leakage will occur at the connecting position of the top cover 1 and the pole 100. Therefore, since the deformation structure is arranged, the deformation structure position of the top cover 1 is deformed more easily during the test of the top cover assembly, thereby avoiding air leakage caused by deformation at the connecting position of the top cover 1 and the pole 100, so as to meet the test requirements.

[0049] In addition, since the deformation structure is arranged, the deformation structure position of the top cover 1 is deformed during the test of the top cover assembly, so that the top cover 1 can be thinner, thereby saving the cost.
