Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lithium battery technology, and in particular to a split-type fastening structure for sealing a long cover plate of a lithium battery. Background Technology
[0002] The long cover of a lithium battery is typically sealed with a plastic sheet (PP material, polypropylene has advantages such as elasticity, high toughness, and good tensile strength), primarily to prevent battery fluid leakage. Batteries contain highly corrosive liquids, which can easily leak during long-term use, leading to battery damage or even explosion. The plastic sheet under the battery cover effectively prevents leakage, ensuring normal battery operation. Besides preventing leakage, the plastic sheet also serves multiple functions such as dustproofing and waterproofing. Currently used plastic sheets are one-piece structures, matching the length of the long cover. However, longer one-piece plastic sheets have thinner walls, making injection molding difficult, often resulting in deformation and warping. This leads to larger gaps when fitted with the cover, compressing the battery cells, making assembly difficult, and ultimately affecting battery performance and safety.
[0003] To address these issues, multiple plastic sheets are spliced together. Traditionally, these sheets are fixed together using glue or screws, which results in complex processes, high costs, and inconvenient disassembly. Therefore, a simple and reliable connection structure is urgently needed. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model proposes a split-type fastening structure for sealing the long cover plate of a lithium battery with a plastic plate.
[0005] This utility model proposes a split-type snap-fit structure for sealing a long cover plate of a lithium battery, comprising multiple plastic plates. At least one set of double snap-fit structures made of PP material is arranged along the width direction of the mating edges between two adjacent plastic plates. The height of the double snap-fit structure is flush with the height of the plastic plate, and includes a through groove and two oppositely arranged snap posts. Each snap post has an anti-detachment part extending to the side at its top. The two snap posts extend into the groove from the lower end of the groove, and their anti-detachment parts respectively fit against the upper surfaces of the groove to achieve snap-fit between adjacent plastic plates.
[0006] Preferably, the lower ends of both sides of the card slot are provided with inwardly inclined guide slopes, and the top of the card post slides into the card slot along the guide slopes until the anti-detachment part is attached to the upper side surface of the card slot.
[0007] Preferably, the outer side of the locking post is provided with at least one protruding positioning rib, and the corresponding position of the locking groove is provided with a positioning groove that matches the positioning rib. When the locking post is fully inserted into the locking groove, the positioning rib is embedded in the positioning groove.
[0008] Preferably, the mating edge of the plastic sheet is provided with a groove, and an elastic sealing strip is installed in the groove. When two adjacent plastic sheets are fastened together by the double buckle structure, the elastic sealing strips on the two adjacent plastic sheets are squeezed against each other to form a double seal.
[0009] Preferably, the guide slope is provided with a lubricating coating.
[0010] Preferably, the card slot is designed as a square structure.
[0011] Preferably, one of the two adjacent plastic plates is integrated with the slot, and the other is integrated with the post.
[0012] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: two adjacent plastic plates are fastened together by at least one set of double buckle structures. Through the cooperation of the slot and two pins, quick fastening and separation are achieved, which simplifies the connection method between multiple split plastic plates for sealing the long cover plate of lithium battery. It has the advantages of simple molding, low cost, convenient disassembly and easy maintenance.
[0013] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar symbols denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0022] like Figure 1-4 As shown in this embodiment, a split-type snap-fit structure for sealing a long cover plate of a lithium battery includes multiple plastic plates 1. At least one set of double-buckle structures 2 made of PP material is arranged along the width direction of the mating edges between adjacent plastic plates 1 to ensure a stable connection. The height of the double-buckle structure 2 is flush with the height of the plastic plate 1, and includes a through-groove 3 and two opposing snap posts 4. Each snap post 4 has a side-extending anti-detachment part 6 at its top. The two snap posts 4 extend from the lower end of the groove 3 into the groove 3 until their anti-detachment parts 6 are respectively attached to the upper surfaces of both sides of the groove 3 to achieve snap-fit between adjacent plastic plates 1. Specifically, the groove 3 is a square structure, but it can also be other shapes that meet the requirements, such as straight sides or curved ends, depending on the specific situation.
[0023] The anti-detachment part 5 is designed to prevent the locking pin 4 from coming out of the locking slot 3 under extreme conditions (such as when the battery is subjected to severe vibration or impact).
[0024] Furthermore, one of the two adjacent plastic plates 1 is integrated with the slot 3, and the other is integrated with the post 4. This simplifies the molding process and reduces costs.
[0025] In this way, the two adjacent plastic plates 1 are fastened together by at least one set of double buckle structure 2. Through the cooperation of the slot 3 and two buckle posts 4, quick fastening and separation are achieved, which simplifies the connection method between multiple split plastic plates for sealing the long cover of lithium battery. It has the advantages of simple molding, low cost, convenient disassembly and easy maintenance.
[0026] Furthermore, the lower ends of both sides of the slot 3 are provided with inwardly inclined guide slopes 5 to facilitate the insertion of the locking post 4. The top of the locking post 4 slides into the slot 3 along the guide slope 5 until the anti-detachment part 6 fits against the upper side surface of the slot 3.
[0027] The guide slope 5 is provided with a lubricating coating to reduce friction during the snap-fit process and improve connection efficiency.
[0028] Furthermore, the outer surface of the locking post 4 is provided with at least one raised positioning rib (not shown in the figure), and the corresponding position of the locking groove 3 is provided with a positioning groove (not shown in the figure) that matches the positioning rib. When the locking post 4 is fully inserted into the locking groove 3, the positioning rib is embedded in the positioning groove. This further prevents the locking post 4 from moving laterally within the locking groove 3 and enhances the stability of the snap-fit connection.
[0029] In this embodiment, the mating edge of the plastic plate 1 is provided with a groove (not shown in the figure), and an elastic sealing strip (not shown in the figure) is installed in the groove. When two adjacent plastic plates 1 are fastened together by the double snap-fit structure 2, the elastic sealing strips on the two adjacent plastic plates 1 are pressed against each other to form a double seal. This effectively prevents electrolyte leakage and the entry of external air and moisture into the battery. The sealing strip is made of high-temperature resistant and chemically corrosion-resistant rubber material. Its hardness and elasticity are specially formulated to ensure good sealing performance under normal use conditions, and to maintain a certain elastic deformation during battery charging and discharging due to changes in internal pressure, thus maintaining a sealed state at all times.
[0030] It should be noted that the elastic sealing strip should be cut to the size of the groove at the edge of the plastic sheet, and then the sealing strip should be pasted into the groove with special glue to ensure that the sealing strip is installed firmly and flat.
[0031] In summary, during use, first align the plastic plate with the locking posts 4 with the plastic plate with the locking groove 3. Slowly insert the two locking posts 4 from the lower end of the locking groove 3 along the guide slope 5. The two locking posts 4 are compressed, causing elastic deformation and bringing them closer together. When the heads of the locking posts 4 protrude from the upper end of the locking groove 3, the locking posts 4 return to their original shape, and the anti-detachment parts 6 respectively fit against the upper surfaces of both sides of the locking groove 3. Simultaneously, the positioning ribs automatically embed into the positioning grooves, completing the fastening of the double-locking structure 2. During the fastening process, the sealing strips on adjacent plastic plates 1 press against each other to form a seal. By following the above steps, assemble multiple plastic plates sequentially, ultimately achieving the sealed installation of the lithium battery long cover.
[0032] It should be noted that when it is necessary to release the double buckle structure 2, the two buckle pins 4 can be pinched together in the middle, the anti-detachment part 6 of the two buckle pins 4 will be disengaged from the upper end of the buckle groove 3, and then the two buckle pins 4 can be pulled out from the lower end of the buckle groove 3. The disassembly is convenient and quick.
