AI Technical Summary
In the current assembly process of the negative electrode bottom cover and current collector of the battery, a convex ring structure is required for contact and bending, which makes the operation complicated, increases the amount of material used, and makes the sealing ring easy to be damaged.
A one-piece battery end cap is designed, which adopts a conical concave and conical convex structure to increase the contact area between the current collector and the battery end cap, and increases the friction force through the rough part. Combined with the deformation seam of the flange and the hemispherical convex structure, the connection strength and stability are improved.
This technology increases the contact area and friction without requiring a convex ring structure, thereby improving the connection strength and stability between the battery and the current collector, simplifying the assembly process, and reducing material usage.
