[0023] 1. Top cover; 2. Explosion-proof sheet;

[0025] 20. Second cover;

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, in a first aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a top cover 1, the top cover 1 comprising: a first cover body 10 and a second cover body 20, which are spaced apart from the first cover body 10, the axis of the first cover body 10 being parallel to the axis of the second cover body 20; a plurality of connecting parts 30, which are disposed between the first cover body 10 and the second cover body 20, the first end of the connecting part 30 being connected to the first cover body 10 and the second end of the connecting part 30 being connected to the second cover body 20, the plurality of connecting parts 30 being arranged at intervals along the circumference of the second cover body 20; and a plurality of welding lines 40, which are disposed on the second cover body 20, the welding lines 40 being disposed one-to-one with the second ends, the top cover 1 being welded to the explosion-proof sheet 2 through the welding lines 40; wherein, in the radial direction of the second cover body 20, the center line of the welding line 40 coincides with the center line of its corresponding second end and / or, in the radial direction of the second cover body 20, the projection of the second end is located within the projection area of its corresponding welding line 40.
[0030] By applying the technical solution of this utility model, multiple welding lines 40 are provided on the second cover 20. The center line of the welding line 40 coincides with the center line of its corresponding second end, and / or, in the radial direction of the second cover 20, the projection of the second end is located within the projection area of its corresponding welding line 40. By setting the above structure, when current is present in the top cover 1, because the welding lines are located close to the second end of the connecting part 30, the flow path of the current on the top cover 1 can be reduced, thereby reducing current loss during flow. This is equivalent to reducing the resistance of the top cover 1, and simultaneously reducing the resistance tolerance of the top cover 1 to meet the user's needs.
[0031] In one embodiment, the bonding wire 40 includes an arc-shaped structure, with multiple arc-shaped structures located on the same circumference, and the circumference being concentric with the second cover 20. By setting the above structure so that the circumference of the bonding wire 40 is concentric with the second cover 20, it not only facilitates the processing of the bonding wire 40 and reduces the processing difficulty of the bonding wire 40, thereby reducing the processing cost of the bonding wire 40, but also effectively enables batch processing to improve the processing efficiency of the bonding wire 40.
[0032] In one embodiment, multiple arc-shaped structures have the same curvature and are evenly distributed on the circumference. The arc-shaped structures are typically designed and manufactured with stability in mind, thus offering better safety performance. When the welding wire 40 is subjected to external force, the arc-shaped structures can better disperse pressure, reducing localized stress concentration and lowering the risk of damage to the welding wire 40. Simultaneously, the arc-shaped design can fully utilize the space of the second cover 20; the layout of the arc-shaped structures can create a more rational use space, improving the space utilization rate of the second cover 20.
[0033] In one embodiment, the arc length of the arc structure is between 5mm and 7.6mm. When the arc length of the arc structure is greater than 7.6mm, it will occupy too much space. Since the area of the second cover 20 is fixed, the number of arc structures required is reduced, but the material required for production will also increase. When the arc length is less than 5mm, the arc structure is too small, which is not conducive to its processing and increases the processing difficulty, thus increasing the processing cost. Therefore, setting the arc length between 5mm and 7.6mm not only ensures the structural strength and stability of the arc structure and minimizes material waste, but also allows for the use of less material to achieve the desired effect, and enables a compact layout, thereby saving space and improving the integration of the overall design. In this application, the arc length can be set to 5mm, 6mm, or 7.6mm, etc. The specific setting is not limited here, as long as it meets the welding requirements of the top cover 1 and the explosion-proof sheet 2, thus improving the applicability and scope of application of the top cover 1.
[0034] In one embodiment, the curvature of the arc structure is between 40° and 60°. When the curvature of the arc structure is greater than 60°, it may lead to a decrease in the stability of the arc structure, increasing the risk of deformation and damage under external forces, thereby reducing the service life of the welding wire 40. When the curvature of the arc structure is less than 40°, the curvature is too small, which is not conducive to the processing of the arc structure, increases the processing difficulty, and thus increases the processing cost. Therefore, setting the curvature of the arc structure between 40° and 60° can not only ensure the structural strength and stability of the arc structure and reduce the risk of deformation and damage under external forces, thereby increasing the service life of the welding wire 40, but also facilitate the processing of the arc structure, reduce the processing difficulty, and thus reduce the processing cost. In this application, the curvature can be set to 40°, 50°, or 60°, etc., and the specific setting is not limited here, as long as it can meet the welding requirements of the top cover 1 and the explosion-proof sheet 2, thereby improving the applicability and scope of application of the top cover 1.
[0035] In one embodiment, the radial extension length of the arc-shaped structure on the second cover 20 is between 0.2mm and 0.3mm. When the radial extension length of the arc-shaped structure on the second cover 20 is greater than 0.3mm, the arc-shaped structure occupies too much space. Since the area of the second cover 20 is fixed, this reduces the number of arc-shaped structures required, while also increasing the material required for their production. When the radial extension length of the arc-shaped structure on the second cover 20 is less than 0.2mm, the arc-shaped structure is too small, which is not conducive to its processing and increases the processing difficulty, thus increasing the processing cost. Therefore, setting the radial extension length of the arc-shaped structure on the second cover 20 between 0.2mm and 0.3mm not only ensures the structural strength and stability of the arc-shaped structure and minimizes material waste, but also allows for the use of less material to achieve the desired effect, and enables a compact layout, thereby saving space and improving the overall design integration. In this application, the arc length can be set to 0.2mm, 0.25mm or 0.3mm, etc. The specific setting is not limited here, as long as it can meet the welding requirements of the top cover 1 and the explosion-proof sheet 2, which can improve the applicability and scope of application of the top cover 1.
[0036] In this application, the radial extension length of the arc-shaped structure in the second cover 20 specifically refers to the distance between the side of the arc-shaped structure near the connecting portion 30 and the side of the arc-shaped structure away from the connecting portion 30, which can be understood as the thickness of the arc-shaped structure.
[0037] In one embodiment, a plurality of connecting portions 30 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the second cover 20. This arrangement allows the plurality of connecting portions 30 to be subjected to force evenly, and also facilitates the connection of the connecting portions 30 with the first cover 10 and the second cover 20, thereby improving the overall structural strength of the top cover 1.
[0038] In one embodiment, the first cover 10, the second cover 20, and the multiple connecting parts 30 are integrally formed. The integral molding process integrates multiple processes into one operation, significantly shortening the production cycle and improving production efficiency. Furthermore, the automated integral molding technology utilizes automated equipment and process control systems to achieve full automation from raw material processing to finished product output, further enhancing production efficiency. Moreover, the integral molding process employs advanced mold design and manufacturing technology, ensuring that the material accurately fills every detail of the mold during the molding process, thereby improving the dimensional and shape accuracy of the product.
[0039] Furthermore, unibody molding eliminates secondary processing steps found in traditional methods, reducing surface imperfections and defects, and improving overall product quality. In addition, appropriate heat treatment during unibody molding helps increase the material's hardness and strength, thereby extending the product's lifespan and reliability.
[0040] In one embodiment, the axis of the first cover 10 coincides with the axis of the second cover 20. This makes the first cover 10 and the second cover 20 concentrically arranged. Concentric arrangement allows the two components to share the same central axis radially, thereby reducing their space occupation in the plane and making the overall structure more compact. This compact design not only benefits the overall layout of the equipment but also reduces the size and weight of the equipment, facilitating installation and transportation. Furthermore, since the two components are arranged around the same central axis, their relative positions are fixed and stable. Moreover, the two concentrically arranged components are structurally relatively independent but interconnected. This design makes it easier to disassemble and replace damaged parts during maintenance without requiring large-scale disassembly of the entire system.
[0041] In one embodiment, the second end of the connecting portion 30 is positioned near the center of the second cover 20, and the welding wire 40 is positioned near the edge of the second cover 20. This facilitates the processing of the welding wire 40 and also facilitates the welding of the second cover 20 and the explosion-proof sheet 2, improving the welding efficiency. Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the second end of the connecting portion 30 can be positioned near the edge of the second cover 20, and the welding wire 40 can be positioned near the center of the second cover 20, as long as the welding requirements of both can be met.
[0042] In one embodiment, the bonding wire 40 includes three arc-shaped structures. Optionally, the number of bonding wires 40 is not specifically limited, and the number should be selected according to the usage environment of the top cover 1, so as to improve the applicability and suitability of the top cover 1.
[0043] In one embodiment, the bonding wire 40 further includes a straight structure. Optionally, the shape of the bonding wire 40 is not specifically limited, and the shape should be selected according to the usage environment of the top cover 1, so as to improve the applicability and suitability of the top cover 1.
[0044] Secondly, an embodiment of the present invention provides a battery cap, which includes: the aforementioned top cover 1; and an explosion-proof sheet 2, which is welded to the top cover 1 via a welding wire 40, wherein the explosion-proof sheet 2 is located on the side of the second cover 20 away from the first cover 10.
[0045] Thirdly, embodiments of this utility model provide a battery, which includes the aforementioned battery cap.
[0046] By applying the technical solution of this utility model, the welding line 40 on the second cover 20 is positioned radially on the second cover 20, with the center line of the welding line 40 coinciding with the center line of its corresponding second end, and / or the projection of the second end is located within the projection area of its corresponding welding line 40 radially on the second cover 20. By setting the above structure, the resistance of the top cover 1 can be reduced, and the resistance tolerance of the top cover 1 can also be reduced to meet the user's needs.
