Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of manifold technology, and in particular to a shell structure and a manifold structure. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, most aluminum-cased cylindrical batteries have a double-through casing structure with positive and negative electrode covers on both sides. These covers have current collectors with extended handles, and explosion-proof plates are also mounted on them. This structure requires welding the covers twice, adding an extra step and increasing equipment costs. This invention proposes a single-through casing structure with an explosion-proof plate at the bottom of the casing to ensure battery safety. Since the single-through aluminum casing structure cannot use current collectors with extended handles, a new current collector structure is designed to match it, and several connection methods between the current collector and the casing are proposed. Therefore, we propose a casing structure and current collector structure to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content
[0003] Based on the technical problems existing in the background art, this application proposes a shell structure and a manifold structure.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A shell structure includes an explosion-proof plate, a protective diaphragm, a shell bottom, and shell-to-shell assembly. A recessed platform is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the shell. The shell has a single-through structure. A flat surface is located in the middle of the shell, lower than the recessed platform. The rear side of the flat surface has a raised structure, and the thickness of the flat surface is greater than the flat surface. A through hole is located on one side of the flat surface. An auxiliary hole is located on the top of the shell. A first platform, a second platform, and a third platform are respectively located on the bottom of the shell. A central hole is located in the middle of the flat surface. An elliptical hole is located on one side of the shell and the recessed platform. Three elliptical platform surfaces of different sizes are located on the outer side of the shell bottom, and the elliptical platform surfaces are concentric with the elliptical hole. The explosion-proof plate is located on the smallest elliptical platform surface, and the protective diaphragm is located on the largest elliptical platform surface. The elliptical hole and one side of the shell have the same elliptical platform. One side of the elliptical platform located on one side of the elliptical hole and the shell has a chamfer. The explosion-proof plate and the shell are both made of metal, and the protective diaphragm is made of transparent polypropylene with adhesive on one side of its outer edge.
[0006] A collector plate structure includes a collector plate, one side of which has a through hole slightly larger than the plane, and grooves on both sides of the through hole. Two V-shaped notches are provided between the two grooves, and a small V-shaped notch is provided on one side of the groove. A first notch is provided on the outer wall of the collector plate.
[0007] In this utility model, the shell adopts a single-pass structure and an explosion-proof plate is set at the bottom of the shell to protect safety. At the same time, the notch on the collector plate can avoid the explosion-proof plate and ensure that the exhaust hole is not blocked. Multiple methods can be used to ensure the connection between the collector plate and the shell, which has good practicality and convenience. Attached Figure Description

The explosion-proof sheet 230 is provided on the smallest elliptical platform surface, and the protective film 220 is provided on the largest elliptical platform surface. The elliptical hole 218 and the shell 210 are provided with the same elliptical platform on one side.

The explosion-proof sheet 230 and the shell 210 are both made of metal materials. The protective film 220 is made of transparent polypropylene material, and the outer edge of one side is coated with adhesive.
[0015] A collector plate structure includes a collector plate 100. A through hole is provided on one side of the collector plate 100. The size of the through hole is slightly larger than the plane 212. Grooves 120 are provided on both the left and right sides of the through hole. Two V-shaped notches are provided between the two grooves 120. A small V-shaped notch is provided on one side of the groove 120. A first notch 110 is provided on the outer wall of the collector plate 100.
[0016] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In actual use, taking an aluminum-cased battery as an example, the casing 210 is made of aluminum alloy material, grade 3003; the current collector 100 is a positive current collector, made of pure aluminum, grade 1060; the connection method adopts laser penetration welding.

[0018] 2. Weld the flattened core to the positive current collector 100;

The protective diaphragm 220 is mounted on the first platform 215 and is adhered to the first platform 215 with adhesive on one side. The protective diaphragm 220 protects the explosion-proof plate 230. The first notch 110 is mainly for weight reduction, and the second notch 140 is mainly to avoid interference with the elliptical hole 218, while also reducing the weight of the manifold 100. The central hole 130 is mainly to avoid the back protrusion of the plane 212, ensuring good contact between the bottom surface 213 of the housing and the surface of the manifold 100.
