The terms "first," "second," and "third," etc., are only for the convenience of description and are used to name parts or embodiments by number, and do not imply any order of importance between the parts or embodiments.

[0035] It should also be noted that in the accompanying drawings of this application, an arrow marked X indicates the first direction, an arrow marked Y indicates the second direction, and an arrow marked Z indicates the third direction. The introduction of the first direction, second direction, and third direction in the description of this application is to more clearly define the structure and relative positional relationships of the components in the individual battery cell and battery pack. In actual implementation, the first direction, second direction, and third direction intersect. Optionally, the first direction, second direction, and third direction are perpendicular to each other to optimize the layout of the individual battery cell and battery pack. In the description of this application, "perpendicular" means completely perpendicular to 90° or almost completely perpendicular; for example, an angle between 80° and 100° is considered perpendicular. The first direction can be the thickness direction of the cover assembly 10, the second direction can be the length direction of the cover assembly 10, and the third direction can be the width direction of the cover assembly 10.

[0036] As a preamble to the embodiments of this application, the cover plate assembly in the battery is mainly composed of components such as terminals, cover plate body, and connecting blocks. However, currently, the cover plate assembly has many components, making assembly complex and inefficient. In addition, the welding of the battery's electrode tabs to the connecting pieces requires bending after welding due to structural limitations, occupying a large amount of bending space and resulting in low space utilization of the battery. Furthermore, the increased length of the electrode tabs after bending exacerbates the risk of tearing, leading to reduced product performance and insufficient product competitiveness.

[0037] In view of this, embodiments of this application provide a single-cell battery, which aims to solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0038] This application provides a single-cell battery, including: a cover plate assembly 10 and an electrode assembly 20. The cover plate assembly 10 has intersecting first direction X and second direction Y. The electrode assembly 20 is disposed on one side of the cover plate assembly 10 in the first direction X. It should be understood that the single-cell battery also includes a housing, which has a receiving cavity and an opening. The cover plate assembly 10 is used to cover the opening and seal the electrode assembly 20 in the receiving cavity, thereby providing protection. At the same time, the cover plate assembly 10 is also used to allow the current of the electrode assembly 20 inside the housing to be led out to the outside of the housing.

[0039] Please see Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the cover plate assembly 10 includes: a cover plate body 11 with an assembly hole along the first direction X; a connecting block 13 disposed on the side of the cover plate body 11 facing the electrode assembly 20 and electrically connected to the electrode assembly 20, the connecting block 13 having a through hole 131 along the first direction X; an electrode post 12 passing through the assembly hole, the electrode post 12 being connected to the connecting block 13 and sealing the through hole 131; the cover plate body 11 being sandwiched between the connecting block 13 and the electrode post 12; the electrode assembly 20 including an electrode tab 21, the electrode tab 21 being connected to the side of the connecting block 13 away from the electrode assembly 20.

[0040] It should be understood that this application reduces the number of assembly parts in the cover plate assembly 10 by connecting the electrode post 12 to the connecting block 13 and sealing the through hole 131; and the electrode tab 21 is connected to the side of the connecting block 13 away from the electrode assembly 20, reducing the bending space of the electrode tab 21 and improving space utilization. The connecting block 13 can limit the lower side of the cover plate body 11, while the electrode post 12 can limit the upper side of the cover plate body 11. The electrode post 12 and the connecting block 13 are formed by one-time stamping, resulting in a simple structure, high assembly efficiency, and one-time processing, reducing costs; furthermore, the connecting piece is eliminated, and the connecting piece and welding block are combined into one connecting block 13, reducing the internal resistance of the product, reducing welding processes and parts, lowering costs, and improving product competitiveness; in addition, the electrode tab 21 is directly welded to the connecting block 13, and a busbar is welded to the side of the electrode post 12 away from the connecting block 13 to allow the current inside the single cell to be led out to the outside, shortening the current flow path, reducing the battery internal resistance, and improving product performance.

[0041] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the connecting block 13 includes a first connecting portion 132, a second connecting portion 133, and a bending portion 134. The bending portion 134 is located between the first connecting portion 132 and the second connecting portion 133 and connects the first connecting portion 132 and the second connecting portion 133 respectively. The first connecting portion 132 is connected to the electrode tab 21, the second connecting portion 133 is connected to the electrode post 12, and the through hole 131 passes through the second connecting portion 133. The bending portion 134 includes a plurality of bending segments 1341, which are arranged at intervals along the second direction Y of the cover plate assembly 10.

[0042] It should be understood that in some embodiments, the tab 21 is bent by the bending portion 134. The first connecting portion 132 is first bent 90 degrees toward the electrode assembly 20 and perpendicular to the second direction Y of the cover plate assembly 10, and then welded to the corresponding tab 21. This facilitates the connection between the side of the first connecting portion 132 away from the electrode assembly 20 and the tab 21. After welding, the first connecting portion 132 is rotated 90 degrees toward the cover plate body 11 with the help of tooling and keeps it flush with the plane of the cover plate assembly 10 toward the electrode assembly 20. The tab 21 is bent above the first connecting portion 132, which reduces the bending space and improves the space utilization. In addition, multiple bending segments 1341 are arranged at intervals along the second direction Y of the cover plate assembly 10, so that the stress of the connector is distributed in each bending segment 1341 when bending, avoiding stress concentration in one place and causing structural damage, effectively enhancing the stability of the entire connection structure during long-term use.

[0043] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8As shown, in some embodiments, along the first direction X, the second connecting portion 133 includes a body portion 1331, a first mating portion 1332, and a second mating portion 1333 connected in sequence. A through hole 131 passes through the body portion 1331, the first mating portion 1332, and the second mating portion 1333. The body portion 1331 is connected to the bending portion 134. The first mating portion 1332 has a first limiting surface 13321 facing the cover plate body 11. The cover plate body 11 is sandwiched between the first limiting surface 13321 and the pole post 12. The second mating portion 1333 has a second limiting surface 13331 facing the pole post 12. The second limiting surface 13331 is connected to the pole post 12.

[0044] It should be understood that the first mating part 1332 is disposed between the body part 1331 and the second mating part 1333. The multi-layer structure of the second connecting part 133 satisfies various internal connection relationships, improves space utilization, and provides more functions and convenience. The portion of the first mating part 1332 that protrudes from the second mating part 1333 has a first limiting surface 13321 facing the cover body 11. The first limiting surface 13321 is used to clamp the cover body 11, further ensuring the clamping and fixing effect on the cover body 11. The second limiting surface 13331 is used to connect with the pole post 12. This surface-to-surface connection ensures the stability and reliability of current transmission.

[0045] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, along the first direction X, the first connecting portion 132 has a first dimension t mm, satisfying 1.8 ≥ t ≥ 0.2; along the first direction X, the second mating portion 1333 has a second dimension T mm, satisfying 2.5 ≥ T ≥ 1.2. It should be understood that the thickness of the first connecting portion 132 is in the range of 0.2 mm to 1.8 mm to ensure that the first connecting portion 132 has good conductivity, thereby effectively conducting current and ensuring that the battery can operate stably under different charge and discharge rates; at the same time, a suitable thickness ensures that the first connecting portion 132 has sufficient mechanical strength to support the tab 21 and withstand various external forces, preventing the first connecting portion 132 from breaking under external force, causing the tab 21 to separate from the connecting block 13, thus causing battery failure. Furthermore, the thickness of the second mating part 1333 on the side facing the through hole 131 is between 1.2mm and 2.5mm to ensure that the second mating part 1333 has sufficient mechanical strength. This prevents the second mating part 1333 from being deformed or even damaged by external forces during battery production, transportation, and use, thus ensuring the stability of the battery structure. (See first direction for details.) Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments, the electrode post 12 includes a first protrusion 122, a main body 121, and a second protrusion 123. The second protrusion 123 is disposed on the side of the cover plate body 11 away from the electrode assembly 20. The main body 121 passes through the assembly hole and is connected to the connecting block 13. The first protrusion 122 is embedded in the through hole 131 and is connected to the inner wall of the through hole 131 and seals the through hole 131. The main body 121 is connected to the first protrusion 122 and the second protrusion 123 respectively. The cover plate body 11 is sandwiched between the second protrusion 123 and the connecting block 13.

[0046] It should be understood that this application reduces the number of assembly parts in the cover plate assembly 10 by connecting the pole post 12 to the connecting block 13 and sealing the through hole 131, thereby improving space utilization. The multi-protrusion design of the pole post reduces the space occupied by the cover plate assembly, further improving space utilization. Furthermore, the second protrusion 123 can limit the upper side of the cover plate body 11, and the boss structure formed by the main body 121 and the first protrusion 122 makes it easier to assemble the pole post 12 with the connecting block 13. Due to the boss structure design, the pole post 12 can be directly embedded in the assembly hole and connected to the connecting block 13, thus simplifying the assembly process and improving assembly efficiency. The first protrusion 122 protrudes from the main body 121, allowing the pole post 12 to be embedded in the through hole 131 and connected to the inner wall of the through hole 131, thereby sealing the through hole 131 and improving sealing performance. Moreover, the pole post 12 adopts a bottom boss structure, which can be processed in one step, reducing costs. Furthermore, the boss structure provides a larger contact area and connection points, enhancing the connection stability between the pole post 12 and the connecting block 13, reducing the risk of loosening or disconnection, and ensuring the reliability of the connection.

[0047] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the second protrusion 123 has a third limiting surface 1231 facing the cover plate body 11, the cover plate body 11 is sandwiched between the third limiting surface 1231 and the connecting block 13, and the main body 121 has a fourth limiting surface 1211 facing the connecting block 13, the fourth limiting surface 1211 is connected to the connecting block 13.

[0048] It should be understood that the portion of the second protrusion 123 protruding from the main body 121 has a third limiting surface 1231 facing the cover plate body 11. The third limiting surface 1231 can limit the upper side of the cover plate body 11, and its design provides mechanical support, allowing the cover plate body 11 to be stably connected to the pole post 12. The portion of the main body 121 protruding from the first protrusion 122 has a fourth limiting surface 1211 facing the connecting block 13. The fourth limiting surface 1211 is connected to the second limiting surface 13331, allowing the cover plate body 11 to be stably clamped between the first limiting surface 13321 and the third limiting surface 1231. This surface-to-surface connection ensures a stable connection between the pole post 12 and the connecting portion, and also ensures the stability and reliability of current transmission.

[0049] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 5 and 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the portion of the first protrusion 122 within the through hole 131 has a third dimension H mm along the first direction X, satisfying 0.7 ≥ H ≥ 0.3. It should be noted that the portion of the first protrusion 122 within the through hole 131 has a certain dimension along the first direction X. The first protrusion 122 is 0.3 mm to 0.7 mm lower than the connecting block 13 within the through hole 131. This design aims to prevent the solder mark from protruding onto the connecting block 13 and to ensure sufficient weld width between the sealing plate and the protrusion, guaranteeing connection strength and sealing performance. Furthermore, it makes the connection between the connecting block 13 and the pole post 12 more stable. Along the second direction Y, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first protrusion 122 is not less than 1.5 mm². 2 Furthermore, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first protrusion 122 may not exceed 150 mm². 2 Ensure sufficient flow area and boss strength.

[0050] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the cover plate assembly 10 further includes a sealing ring 14, which includes a first sealing section 141, a second sealing section 142, and a third sealing section 143. The first sealing section 141 is disposed between the cover plate body 11 and the pole post 12, the second sealing section 142 is disposed between the cover plate body 11 and the connecting block 13, and the third sealing section 143 is disposed between the pole post 12 and the connecting block 13. The first sealing section 141 is connected to the second sealing section 142 and the third sealing section 143 respectively.

[0051] It should be noted that the first connecting part 132 is for mating with the pole lug 21 in the motor assembly, the first mating part 1332 is for mating with the cover plate body 11, and the second mating part 1333 is for mating with the pole post 12. The first sealing section 141 is disposed between the cover plate body 11 and the main body 121, the second sealing section 142 is disposed between the cover plate body 11 and the first limiting surface 13321, and the third sealing section 143 is disposed between the fourth limiting surface 1211 and the first limiting surface 13321. The sealing ring 14 is T-shaped. The first sealing section 141 achieves the seal between the cover plate body 11 and the main body 121, the second sealing section 142 achieves the seal between the cover plate body 11 and the connecting block 13, and the third sealing section 143 achieves the seal between the main body 121 and the connecting block 13.

[0052] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the cover plate assembly 10 further includes an upper plastic 15, which is disposed on the side of the cover plate body 11 away from the electrode assembly 20, and the upper plastic 15 connects the electrode post 12 and the cover plate body 11. It should be noted that during the assembly of the pole post 12, the upper plastic 15 is first fixed above the cover plate body 11, and the sealing ring 14 is fixed below the cover plate body 11. The first sealing section 141 passes through the assembly hole, the second sealing section 142 overlaps the cover plate body 11, and the third sealing section 143 overlaps the fourth limiting surface 1211. The pole post 12 is then passed through the assembly hole and pressed onto the upper plastic 15 and the second sealing section 142. The fourth limiting surface 1211 is then stamped with an external stamping device to form a limiting fit with the connecting block 13, thereby completing the assembly of the pole post 12. The upper plastic 15 and the sealing ring 14 can ensure the reliability, insulation, and sealing of the connection between the pole post 12 and the cover plate body 11 and the connecting block 13, preventing the risk of air leakage from the welding pores in the through hole.

[0053] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the cover plate assembly 10 also has a third direction Z intersecting the first direction X and the second direction Y. In some embodiments, along the third direction Z of the cover plate assembly 10, the first limiting surface 13321 has a fourth dimension W1mm, satisfying 4≥W1≥2.5; there is a first gap G1mm between the sealing ring 14 and the second mating part 1333, satisfying 0.2≥G1≥0.11; there is a second gap W2mm between the sealing ring 14 and the outer ring of the first mating part 1332, satisfying 0.5≥W2≥0.2. It should be understood that along the third direction Z, the fourth dimension of the first limiting surface 13321 ensures sufficient sealing area; the first gap between the sealing ring 14 and the second mating part 1333 ensures sufficient expansion space when the sealing ring 14 is compressed, preventing the sealing ring 14 from cracking; the second gap between the sealing ring 14 and the outer ring of the first mating part 1332 ensures that after the sealing ring 14 is compressed, the sealing ring 14 can still completely fit with the second layer end face of the welding block, ensuring the sealing effect.

[0054] Please see Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a recess 111 is provided on the side of the cover plate body 11 facing the connecting block 13, and the second sealing section 142 is disposed in the recess 111. It should be understood that by providing a recess 111 on the cover plate body 11 to accommodate the second sealing section 142, space utilization is improved, the height of the cover plate assembly 10 is reduced, thereby providing more space, increasing battery capacity, and improving product competitiveness.

[0055] Please see Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the sink 111 has a fifth limiting surface 1111 facing the connecting block 13, and the fifth limiting surface 1111 and the fourth limiting surface 1211 are on the same plane. It should be understood that the fifth limiting surface 1111 and the fourth limiting surface 1211 are flush on the plane defined by the intersection of the second direction Y and the third direction Z, which ensures that the fifth limiting surface 1111 and the fourth limiting surface 1211 are at the same height along the first direction X, ensuring that the compression of the sealing ring 14 is consistent and that the sealing ring 14 is compressed uniformly, thereby providing reliable sealing performance; and by keeping the two limiting surfaces at the same height, it is possible to ensure smooth contact between the pole post 12 and the connecting block 13, reduce structural deformation or loosening, and improve the stability and reliability of the overall structure.

[0056] In some embodiments, the electrode post 12 includes a first composite layer 124 and a second composite layer 125, which are stacked and connected along a first direction X.
