Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery production, research and development, and design technology, and in particular to a battery with a high-safety packaging structure. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of science and technology, and the growth of emerging industries such as electric vehicles, electric bicycles, drones, robots, mobile energy storage, and power tools, the application range of power batteries is becoming increasingly wide. The industry is moving towards smaller size, higher performance, and greater economy. Currently, the industry commonly uses steel cap components and steel shell roll forming technology for battery structures. The basic structure is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, there are currently two types of explosion-proof cylindrical batteries: those with pressure relief devices and those without. Batteries without pressure relief devices are mainly used in small batteries. Without these devices, gas generated by the battery cannot be released through the pressure relief mechanism, resulting in low safety performance. In cases of large capacity or extreme conditions, there is a risk of battery explosion. This type is only suitable for batteries with low venting and small capacity, limiting its application. The other type has pressure relief devices, but these devices are complex in structure, difficult to manufacture, and have low production efficiency, hindering mass production. In summary, current battery packaging technology is complex in structure, difficult to manufacture, inefficient, and costly, which is detrimental to mass production. This has a negative impact on the widespread application of batteries. Therefore, further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0056] The inner wall of the injection hole structure 6 is a beveled hole wall 61.

[0057] The injection hole structure 6 is also provided with a welding position 602 on one side.

[0058] like Figure 15-16 As shown, the sealing member 601 is pressed into the injection hole structure 6. The inclined hole wall of the injection hole structure 6 is sealed with the inclined side 6012 and the straight side 6011 of the sealing member 601 through an interference fit. The sealing member 601 is tightly fixed to the injection hole structure 6 by laser welding with the welding position 602.

[0059] In this embodiment, the cap body 4 is also provided with a pressure relief and explosion-proof sink 7.

[0078] In this embodiment, an interference fit structure 100 is provided on one side of the liquid injection hole structure 6. After the battery is filled with liquid, the sealing member 601 is fixed in the liquid injection hole structure 6 by the interference fit structure 100. Of course, during the production process, the interference fit structure 100 can also be provided on the outside of the sealing member 601.
