[0002] The battery top cover needs to be sealed with a sealing ring to prevent liquid or gas leakage and ensure the airtightness of the battery top cover. The sealing ring effectively prevents liquid or gas from leaking from the joints when pressure or temperature changes.

[0003] Currently, all sealing rings on the market are made of fluororubber. The sealing ring is made by pressing the end post and the cover plate together to achieve an interference fit and thus a sealing effect.

[0004] Among these factors, production cost is a significant one, and existing fluororubber as a sealing ring suffers from high cost. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a new type of sealed battery top cover that achieves effective sealing between the connection part and the cover plate structure by welding a sealing ring made of PP material.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: comprising: a cover plate structure with a through mounting hole; an electrode assembly mounted in the mounting hole, the electrode assembly including: a sealing ring made of PP material, the sealing ring being disposed below the mounting hole, and a first annular welded portion between the sealing ring and the cover plate structure; and an electrode member passing through the sealing ring and the mounting hole, the electrode member having a connecting portion that mates with the bottom of the sealing ring, and a second annular welded portion between the connecting portion and the sealing ring.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that: the cover plate structure includes an upper cover plate and a lower plastic part, the mounting hole is provided on the upper cover plate, and the first annular welding part welds the upper cover plate and the sealing ring.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the upper cover plate is made of metal.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that the upper cover plate is made of aluminum or stainless steel.

[0029] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand this utility model and to more clearly define the scope of protection claimed by this utility model, the present utility model is described in detail below with reference to certain specific embodiments. It should be noted that the following are only some specific embodiments of the present utility model, and the specific and direct descriptions of related structures are merely for the convenience of understanding the present utility model; the specific features do not necessarily or directly limit the scope of implementation of the present utility model. Conventional choices and substitutions made by those skilled in the art under the guidance of the present utility model should all be considered within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0030] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model discloses a novel sealed battery top cover, comprising:

[0031] The cover plate structure 1 has mounting holes 111 extending vertically through its left and right sides, respectively.

[0032] The pole assembly 2 consists of two sets, namely a positive pole 31 and a negative pole 32. The positive pole 31 is installed in the mounting hole 111 on the right side, and the negative pole 32 is installed in the mounting hole 111 on the left side.

[0033] Each pole post assembly 2 includes:

[0034] The sealing ring 21 is made of PP material. The sealing ring 21 is located below the mounting hole 111, and a first annular welded part 211 is provided between the sealing ring 21 and the cover plate structure 1.

[0035] The pole piece 22 has a sealing ring 21 and a mounting hole 111 passing through it. The pole piece 22 is provided with a connecting part 221 that matches the bottom of the sealing ring 21. A second annular welding part 222 is provided between the connecting part 221 and the sealing ring 21.

[0036] Therefore, 1. A PP sealing ring 21 is placed between the connecting part 221 and the cover plate structure 1 for sealing and filling. Since the PP sealing ring 21 has poor elasticity, a first annular welding part 211 is used to form an annular seal between the sealing ring 21 and the cover plate structure 1 to improve the reliability of the seal. Similarly, a second annular welding part 222 is used to form an annular seal between the sealing ring 21 and the connecting part 221 to improve the reliability of the seal. 2. The PP sealing ring 21 has a lower production cost than the fluororubber sealing ring 21. The production cost of the fluororubber sealing ring 21 is 0.3 yuan / pcs, while the production cost of the PP sealing ring 21 is 0.03 yuan / pcs.

[0037] In this embodiment, the cover plate structure 1 includes an upper cover plate 11 and a lower plastic part 12. The mounting hole 111 is provided on the upper cover plate 11, and the first annular welding part 211 welds the upper cover plate 11 and the sealing ring 21.

[0038] Therefore, the sealing ring 21 is directly disposed on the upper cover plate 11 so that the gap between the sealing ring 21 and the cover plate structure 1 is only the gap between the upper cover plate 11 and the sealing ring 21, and the sealing performance is ensured by welding through the first annular welding part 211.

[0039] The upper cover plate 11 is made of metal, specifically aluminum or stainless steel.

[0040] Specifically, the first annular welded portion 211 is formed by laser penetration welding from the bottom of the sealing ring 21 upwards; the second annular welded portion 222 is formed by laser penetration welding from the bottom of the connecting portion 221 upwards.

[0041] For the thinner sealing ring 21 and connecting part 221, laser penetration welding is used to weld the mating surface of the sealing ring 21 and the upper cover plate 11, thereby increasing the welding area and improving the connection strength.

[0042] Preferably, the bottom of the upper cover plate 11 is provided with a first contact surface 112, the upper side of the sealing ring 21 is provided with a second contact surface 212, the lower side is provided with a third contact surface 213, and the connecting part 221 is provided with a fourth contact surface 223. The first contact surface 112 and the second contact surface 212 are in surface-to-surface contact, and the third contact surface 213 and the fourth contact surface 223 are in surface-to-surface contact. This improves the processing quality of the first annular welded part 211 when the sealing ring 21 and the upper cover plate 11 are in surface-to-surface contact. Similarly, the surface-to-surface contact of the sealing ring 21 and the connecting part 221 improves the processing quality of the second annular welded part 222.

[0043] The electrode assembly 2 corresponding to the positive electrode post 31 also includes a connecting ring 23 and a first positioning member 24. The electrode part 22 of the positive electrode post 31 is a stamped integral part. The connecting ring 23 and the electrode part 22 of the positive electrode post 31 can be made of aluminum or copper. The first positioning member 24 is made of injection molded plastic material. The first positioning member 24 is arranged around the outer periphery of the electrode part 22 of the positive electrode post 31 and abuts against the upper surface of the upper cover plate 11. The connecting ring 23 is arranged around the outer periphery of the electrode part 22 of the positive electrode post 31 and abuts against the upper surface of the first positioning member 24. The electrode part 22 of the positive electrode post 31 can be fixedly connected to the connecting ring 23 by welding, riveting or other methods to realize the fixed installation of the electrode assembly 2 on the cover plate structure 1.

[0044] In addition, the inner circumference of the first positioning member 24 is provided with a first positioning protrusion 241 that is inserted downward into the corresponding mounting hole 111, so that the outer circumferential wall of the first positioning protrusion 241 and the inner circumferential wall of the mounting hole 111 cooperate for positioning to improve assembly accuracy. The outer circumference of the first positioning member 24 is provided with a second positioning protrusion 242 that is arranged upward around the outer circumference of the connecting ring 23, so that the inner circumferential wall of the second positioning protrusion 242 and the outer circumferential wall of the connecting ring 23 cooperate for positioning to improve assembly accuracy.

[0045] The electrode assembly 2 corresponding to the negative electrode post 32 includes a second positioning member 25. The electrode assembly 22 of the negative electrode post 32 includes a lower part 224 and an upper part 225. Both the lower part 224 and the upper part 225 are integral parts formed by stamping. The upper part 225 and the lower part 224 can be made of aluminum or copper. The second positioning member 25 is made of injection molded plastic. The connecting part 221 is set on the lower part 224. The second positioning member 25 is arranged around the outer periphery of the lower part 224 and abuts against the upper surface of the upper cover plate 11. The upper part 225 covers the upper end of the lower part 224, and the outer periphery of the upper part 225 abuts against the upper surface of the positioning member. The upper part 225 and the lower part 224 can be fixedly connected by welding, riveting or other methods to realize the fixed installation of the electrode assembly 2 on the cover plate structure 1.

[0046] In addition, the inner periphery of the second positioning member 25 is provided with a third positioning protrusion 251 that is inserted downward into the corresponding mounting hole 111, so that the outer peripheral wall of the third positioning protrusion 251 and the inner peripheral wall of the mounting hole 111 cooperate to perform positioning and improve assembly accuracy. The outer periphery of the second positioning member 25 is provided with a fourth positioning protrusion 252 that is arranged upward around the outer periphery of the upper part 225, so that the inner peripheral wall of the fourth positioning protrusion 252 and the outer peripheral wall of the upper part 225 cooperate to perform positioning and improve assembly accuracy.
