[0002] Power batteries are mainly used to store electrical energy and output electrical energy from inside the power battery to the outside when needed, thereby realizing energy conversion and improving the portability and practicality of electrical energy use.
[0003] The power battery includes a top cover structure, which usually has positive and negative terminals for receiving and storing the power battery. When the top cover is assembled onto the power battery, it improves the battery's sealing performance to reduce the possibility of damage to internal components caused by external interference.
[0004] During the assembly of the top cover, a sealing body is often used to fix the pole. The sealing body is formed by injection molding. During the injection molding process, when the colloid comes into contact with the pole, there is a lack of internal support structure, which leads to uneven flow of the colloid and shrinkage. This results in insufficient molding strength of the sealing body, affecting the production quality of the top cover. Utility Model Content

[0031] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, and the technical solution of the present invention will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0032] like Figure 1-9 As shown, a novel square cover structure includes:
[0033] Top cover plate 7, top cover plate 7 is provided with mounting platform 73, mounting platform 73 is provided with interconnected engaging part 731 and bending part 732;
[0034] The lower plastic 1 is located directly below the top cover 7. The lower plastic 1 is provided with a welding ring 2 and a sealing ring 3 that is snapped onto the welding ring 2.
[0035] Among them, a positive terminal 6 and a negative terminal 60 are provided between the top cover plate 7 and the lower plastic 1. The positive terminal 6 and the negative terminal 60 are respectively provided on the mounting platform 73 and form a support space with the mounting platform 73. An upper plastic 5 is provided in the support space, which engages with the engaging part 731 and the bending part 732. The lower surface of the upper plastic 5 abuts against the sealing ring 3.
[0036] Specifically, firstly, the positive terminal 6 and the negative terminal 60 are placed at the axis of the mounting platform 73. Then, the colloid is injected into the gap between the terminal and the top cover plate 7 through a mold and an injection molding machine. After cooling, the lower plastic 1 is formed. The lower plastic 1 is a conical platform that engages with the engaging part 731 and the bending part 732. The conical shape of the platform improves the connection between the lower plastic 1 and the mounting platform 73, which improves the fixing effect of the positive terminal 6 and the negative terminal 60. Then, the sealing ring 3 and the welding ring 2 are installed to the lower ends of the positive terminal 6 and the negative terminal 60 in sequence, and the outer ring of the welding ring 2 is welded to improve the support and positioning effect of the sealing ring 3. Finally, the lower plastic 1 is installed to the lower end of the top cover plate 7, thus completing the assembly of the battery top cover.
[0037] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the bending portion 732 and the engaging portion 731 are both arranged in a circular array along the central axis of the mounting platform 73, and at least two bending portions 732 and engaging portions 731 are provided, such as... Figure 4 The bending portion 732 and the engaging portion 731 shown are evenly distributed at the annular corners of the mounting platform 73. In this figure, they are set in four places. The bending portion 732 and the engaging portion 731 provide even support to improve the support effect on the pole. Moreover, the mounting platform on the surface of the top cover plate will harden during the stamping process, and the structure of the mounting platform is prone to cracking, resulting in insufficient bending strength of the mounting platform. In severe cases, the pole will fall off the mounting platform in its entirety.
[0038] For example, Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment of the top cover, the cross-section of the engaging portion 731 is inclined, further improving the connection and support effect of the upper plastic 5. Figure 6 and Figure 7 In the second embodiment of the top cover plate, the engaging portion 731 is parallel to the upper plane of the top cover plate 7. Since the bending portion 732 and the engaging portion 731 are in a ring shape, the parallel design improves the stability of the mounting platform 73.
[0039] As a further embodiment provided by this utility model, the number of bending portions 732 and engaging portions 731 can also be three, four, five, six, eight, or arranged in a ring around the central axis of the mounting platform 73, such as... Figure 4 The bending portion 732 and the engaging portion 731 are provided in four locations, with varying numbers of these locations to improve the support effect on the pole post. Figure 5 The bending part 732 and the engaging part 731 are arranged in a ring around the central axis of the mounting platform 73.
[0040] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a placement groove 21 is provided on the welding ring 2, and the sealing ring 3 is engaged in the placement groove 21. The placement groove 21 plays a role in limiting and positioning, thereby reducing the phenomenon of the sealing ring 3 shifting during the welding process, and thus improving the sealing performance of the sealing ring 3 on the positive terminal 6 and the negative terminal 60. The sealing ring 3 can be made of rubber.
[0041] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the placement groove 21 is provided with a first engaging end 22 and a second engaging end 23 connected together. The cross-section of the first engaging end 22 and the second engaging end 23 is hook-shaped. The sealing ring 3 abuts against the first engaging end 22 and the second engaging end 23. The cross-section of the first engaging end 22 and the second engaging end 23 is as shown in the figure. Figure 7 As shown, the hook-shaped structure improves the support effect of the sealing ring 3 and also positions the sealing ring 3, so that the sealing ring 3 fits better with the positive terminal 6 or the negative terminal 60.
[0042] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a limiting tilting platform 13 is provided on the lower plastic 1. The limiting tilting platform 13 abuts against the welding ring 2, and the tilting step provides a certain support effect for the welding ring 2, thereby improving the connection between the welding ring 2 and the top cover plate 7.
[0043] As a further embodiment of this utility model, an explosion-proof end 11 is provided on the lower plastic 1, and a protective film 4 is provided on the top cover 7 to cover the explosion-proof end 11. An explosion-proof valve 12 is provided between the protective film 4 and the explosion-proof end 11. The main function of the explosion-proof valve 12 is to prevent the excessive pressure caused by hydrogen gas and electrolyte generated during overcharging and over-discharging of the battery pack, thereby preventing the battery from exploding and improving the safety of the power battery.
[0044] As a further embodiment provided in this utility model, both the positive terminal 6 and the negative terminal 60 are provided with a first frustum 61 and a second frustum 62. The first frustum 61 is higher than the second frustum 62 and engages with the engaging portion 731, while the second frustum 62 cooperates with the bent portion, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the first frustum 61 is located above the second frustum 62, and the circumferential diameter of the first frustum 61 is smaller than the diameter of the second frustum 62, thus forming a bent flow channel. The flow channel gradually increases in size, which facilitates the entry of the colloid into the positive electrode post 6 or the negative electrode post 60 through this flow channel, reducing the phenomenon of uneven flow of the colloid. After cooling, the upper plastic 5 is formed.
[0045] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the second truncated cone 62 is provided with grooves 63 arranged in a circumferential array. Between the engaging part 731 and the bent part, there is a conical protrusion 51 that engages with the grooves 63. The cross-section of the conical protrusion 51 is conical. The conical shape increases the contact area of the grooves 63, thereby improving the support effect of the upper plastic 5 on the positive electrode post 6 and the negative electrode post 60.
[0046] As a further embodiment provided by this utility model, a locking rod 10 is provided on the lower plastic 1, and the locking rod 10 engages with the top cover plate 7. Multiple sets of locking rods 10 are provided on the lower plastic 1 to improve the support and connection effect between the lower plastic 1 and the top cover plate 7.
[0047] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the top cover plate 7 is provided with positive and negative electrode marking grooves 71. The positive and negative electrode marking grooves 71 are divided into "+" and "-" symbol-shaped grooves 63, which correspond to the positive electrode post 6 and the negative electrode post 60 respectively, so as to facilitate the identification of the positive and negative terminals of the battery top cover.
[0048] As a further embodiment provided by this utility model, the upper plastic 5 is integrally molded, which improves the overall strength of the upper plastic 5 and also improves production efficiency.
[0049] The above-described technical solution of this utility model addresses the problem that existing technical solutions are too simplistic and provides a solution that is significantly different from existing technologies. The parts not covered in this application's technical solution are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
