AI Technical Summary
When a secondary battery experiences thermal runaway, molten plastic can easily accumulate at the explosion-proof vents, posing a fire risk. Existing technologies are unable to effectively reduce this risk.
Design an end cap assembly including a cover plate, an insulating component, and electrode terminals. The structural design of the insulating component avoids overlap with the explosion-proof hole. The support part is fixed by connecting ribs and fixing posts to reduce the accumulation of insulating components and enhance insulation performance.
It effectively reduces the risk of fire in energy storage devices during thermal runaway and improves the safety and assembly efficiency of energy storage devices.
