AI Technical Summary
When lithium batteries with existing aluminum-plastic safety caps are overcharged, the aluminum-plastic film expands to a limited volume, creating a small space that cannot completely contain all the gas, leading to an explosion risk.
A lithium battery with an aluminum-plastic safety cap was designed. By setting an airbag and piston structure on the baffle, when the gas pressure reaches a set value, the piston pushes open the aluminum-plastic sheet to allow gas to enter the airbag. When there is too much gas, the airbag deforms to form a larger space to accommodate the gas.
It effectively expands the gas containment space, reduces the stress on the aluminum-plastic sheet, lowers the risk of breakage, and improves safety.

Abstract
Description
A lithium battery with an aluminum-plastic safety cap Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of lithium battery technology, and more specifically, it relates to a lithium battery with an aluminum-plastic safety cap. Background Technology
[0002] When a lithium battery is overcharged, its internal pressure increases sharply. When this pressure exceeds the allowable value, the battery will explode. Excess gas is released through the lithium battery safety valve to prevent the battery from exploding. An existing lithium battery with an aluminum-plastic safety cap (application number CN202122343456.6) uses an aluminum-plastic film. When venting, the aluminum-plastic film expands and deforms to form a space to contain the gas. However, since the expansion volume of the aluminum-plastic film is limited, the space formed is small and cannot completely contain all the gas. Therefore, a lithium battery device with an aluminum-plastic safety cap is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a lithium battery with an aluminum-plastic safety cap. When there is too much gas, the airbag deforms, causing the folded part outside the airbag to open, thereby creating a larger space to accommodate more gas. This solves the problem mentioned in the background technology that the aluminum-plastic film has a limited expansion volume, resulting in a small space that is difficult to completely accommodate all the gas.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a lithium battery with an aluminum-plastic safety cap, comprising a battery body, a baffle fixed to one end of the positive electrode of the battery body, a connecting block provided in the middle of the top surface of the baffle, a first groove formed on the top surface of the connecting block, a second groove formed at the bottom inner side of the first groove, a third groove formed on the bottom surface of the baffle, a piston provided inside the second groove, an aluminum-plastic sheet fixed inside the first groove, a first venting groove formed on the outer side of the connecting block, an airbag fixed to the outer side of the connecting block, a second venting groove formed inside the airbag, the interior of the second venting groove communicating with the interior of the first venting groove, and a conductive sheet fixed to the upper end of the connecting block, the conductive sheet being electrically connected to the battery body.
[0005] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the diameter of the second groove is smaller than that of the first groove.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the interior of the third groove is connected to the interior of the second groove, and the diameter of the third groove is smaller than that of the second groove.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the piston has a convex cross-section, and the lower end of the piston is inserted into the inner side of the third groove.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bottom surface of the aluminum-plastic sheet abuts against the top surface of the piston, and the diameter of the aluminum-plastic sheet is larger than the diameter of the piston.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the interior of the first ventilation groove is connected to the interior of the first groove.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the airbag has a ring structure, the airbag is made of aluminum-plastic material, and the outer side of the airbag has a folded structure.
[0011] This utility model provides a lithium battery with an aluminum-plastic safety cap, which has the following advantages:
[0012] 1. In this lithium battery with an aluminum-plastic safety cap, when the battery body is overcharged, the generated gas pressure is transmitted to the piston. When the pressure reaches a set value, the piston pushes open the aluminum-plastic sheet, allowing gas to enter the airbag through the third groove, the second groove, the first groove, the first venting groove, and the second venting groove. The airbag holds a portion of the gas. When there is too much gas, the airbag deforms, causing the folded part outside the airbag to open, thereby forming a larger space to hold more gas. This solves the problem in the background technology that the aluminum-plastic film has a limited expansion volume, resulting in a small space that is difficult to completely contain all the gas.
[0013] 2. The lithium battery with aluminum-plastic safety cap has a piston with a shape that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. Based on the principle that pressure equals air pressure multiplied by the area of force application, the piston experiences less force, thereby reducing the force transmitted to the aluminum-plastic sheet through the piston. This reduces the stress on the aluminum-plastic sheet and prevents it from breaking under excessive stress before reaching the specified pressure. Attached Figure Description

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4. This utility model provides a technical solution: a lithium battery with an aluminum-plastic safety cap, including a battery body 1. A baffle 2 is fixed to one end of the positive electrode of the battery body 1. A connecting block 3 is provided in the middle of the top surface of the baffle 2. A first groove 4 is formed on the top surface of the connecting block 3. A second groove 5 is formed on the bottom inner side of the first groove 4. A third groove 6 is formed on the bottom surface of the baffle 2. A piston 7 is provided inside the second groove 5. An aluminum-plastic sheet 8 is fixed inside the first groove 4. A first venting groove 9 is formed on the outer side of the connecting block 3. An airbag 10 is also fixed on the outer side of the connecting block 3. A second venting groove 11 is formed on the inner side of the airbag 10. The interior of the second venting groove 11 is connected to the first venting groove 9. The interior of the first venting groove 9 is connected. A conductive sheet 12 is fixed at the upper end of the connecting block 3. The conductive sheet 12 is electrically connected to the battery body 1. The diameter of the second groove 5 is smaller than that of the first groove 4. The interior of the third groove 6 is connected to the interior of the second groove 5. The diameter of the third groove 6 is smaller than that of the second groove 5. The cross-section of the piston 7 is convex. The lower end of the piston 7 is inserted into the inner side of the third groove 6. The bottom surface of the aluminum-plastic sheet 8 abuts against the top surface of the piston 7. The diameter of the aluminum-plastic sheet 8 is larger than that of the piston 7. The interior of the first venting groove 9 is connected to the interior of the first groove 4. The airbag 10 is annular. The airbag 10 is made of aluminum-plastic material. The outer side of the airbag 10 is folded.
[0023] When the battery body 1 overcharges, the generated gas pressure is transmitted to the piston 7. When the pressure reaches the set value, the piston 7 pushes open the aluminum-plastic sheet 8, allowing the gas to pass through the third groove 6, the second groove 5, the first groove 4, the first venting groove 9, and the second venting groove 11 into the airbag 10. The airbag 10 contains a portion of the gas. When there is too much gas, the airbag 10 deforms, causing the folded part outside the airbag 10 to open, thereby forming a larger space to contain more gas. This solves the problem in the background technology that the aluminum-plastic film has a limited expansion volume, forming a small space that is difficult to completely contain all the gas.
[0024] The specific usage and function of this embodiment: When the battery body 1 is overcharged, the gas pressure generated is transmitted to the piston 7. When the pressure reaches the set value, the piston 7 pushes open the aluminum-plastic sheet 8, so that the gas passes through the third groove 6, the second groove 5, the first groove 4, the first venting groove 9 and the second venting groove 11 and enters the airbag 10. The airbag 10 contains a part of the gas. When there is too much gas, the airbag 10 deforms, so that the folded part outside the airbag 10 is opened, thereby forming a larger space to contain more gas.

Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
