[0025] The following is combined with Figures 1-3 This invention describes the cover plate assembly provided by this utility model.
[0026] In view of the problems of unreasonable component arrangement and insufficient size utilization in the traditional technology, this utility model provides a cover plate assembly, including a cover plate body 1, an pole post 2, a first plastic part 3 and a sealing ring 4.
[0027] Please see Figure 1The cover plate 1 has a first mounting hole 13. The pole post 2 includes a pole post body 23, a first plate 21, and a second plate 22. The pole post body 23 passes through the first mounting hole 13, and the first plate 21 and the second plate 22 are respectively disposed at both ends of the pole post body 23. The first plate 21 and the second plate 22 can be formed by protruding outward from the side wall of the pole post body 23, so that the axial surface of the pole post 2 is formed into a structure similar to the "I". In an optional embodiment, the first plate 21 and / or the second plate 22 protruding relative to the pole post body 23 can be formed by a stamping process after passing through the first mounting hole 13 to achieve outward expansion relative to the side wall of the pole post body 23; in another optional embodiment, the first plate 21 and / or the second plate 22 are formed as a separate structure, and the first plate 21 and / or the second plate 22 are assembled to the end of the pole post body 23 after the pole post body 23 passes through the first mounting hole 13.
[0028] The first plastic component 3 is sleeved on the electrode body 23 and located between the first plate 21 and the cover plate 1. The sealing ring 4 is sleeved on the electrode body 23 and located between the second plate 22 and the cover plate 1. Specifically, in the thickness direction of the cover plate body 1, the sealing ring 4 is sandwiched between the cover plate 1 and the second plate 22, and the first plastic component 3 is sandwiched between the first plate 21 and the cover plate 1. In this way, the cover plate 1 can apply a force to the sealing ring 4 toward the second plate 22, causing the sealing ring 4 to compress.
[0029] Furthermore, the support height H1 of the first plastic part 3 on the first plate 21 is 0.7mm-2mm, and the support length L1 of the first plastic part 3 on the first plate 21 is 0.6-2mm. If the support height and length are too small, the first plastic part 3 may crack after the first plate 21 is riveted. If the support height and length are too large, it will affect the height of the pole post 2, thus increasing the cost. By setting a suitable support height and support length in this utility model, on the one hand, the strength of the first plastic part 3 can be guaranteed, making it less likely to crack after the pole post 2 is riveted; on the other hand, the height of the pole post 2 can be reduced while ensuring strength, making the cover plate arrangement more compact.
[0030] Furthermore, the overlap length L2 between the first plate 21 and the cover plate 1 along the length direction is 0.8-3mm. With this arrangement, the cover plate 1 can provide further support for the first plastic part 3 and the first plate 21. When the pole post 2 is subjected to a large force, the first plastic part 3 is less likely to crack, thus ensuring the stability and integrity of the structure.
[0031] Since both the first plastic component 3 and the sealing ring 4 need to be fitted onto the pole body 23, in order to prevent interference between the various structures, the technical solution provided in this utility model is described in detail below. Figure 2 and Figure 3The first plate 21 and the pole body 23 are connected by a radius (R) angle 24, which ensures a smooth connection between them, preventing corner damage or interference with the installation of other components. Furthermore, the inner ring of the first plastic part 3 has a chamfer 31, corresponding to the radius (R) angle 24. The space between the chamfer 31 and the radius (R) angle 24 effectively prevents interference during installation between the first plastic part 3 and the first plate 21, making the installation of the first plastic part 3 more convenient, quick, and stable. Even further, to facilitate the installation of the sealing ring 4, the inner ring of the sealing ring 4 also has a chamfer 31.
[0032] The cover plate assembly generally also requires an explosion-proof valve 5 to prevent explosion caused by excessive internal pressure of the battery. In the technical solution provided by this utility model, the cover plate 1 is provided with a second mounting hole 14, and an annular boss 15 is provided around the second mounting hole 14. The annular boss 15 is covered with an explosion-proof valve 5, and the explosion-proof valve 5 is covered with an explosion-proof valve membrane 51. The setting of the annular boss 15 creates a height difference between the explosion-proof valve 5 and the upper end surface of the cover plate 1, which can prevent electrolyte leakage and contamination of the explosion-proof valve 5. The explosion-proof valve membrane 51 also provides further protection for the explosion-proof valve 5. Preferably, the height H2 of the annular boss 15 is greater than or equal to 3mm.
[0033] Furthermore, if the distance between the annular boss 15 and the second mounting hole 14 is too small, it may cause micro-cracks in the forming of the cover plate 1; if the distance between the annular boss 15 and the second mounting hole 14 is too large, it will affect the size design of the explosion-proof valve 5. In the technical solution provided by this utility model, the distance L3 between the outer edge of the annular boss 15 and the inner edge of the second mounting hole 14 is 0.1mm-3mm.
[0034] Specifically, the cover plate 1 includes a cover plate body 11 and a second plastic part 12 that are detachably connected vertically. The cover plate body 11 has a first sub-mounting hole 131, and the second plastic part 12 has a corresponding second sub-mounting hole 132. The first sub-mounting hole 131 and the second sub-mounting hole 132 are concentrically arranged, together forming the first mounting hole 13. The diameter of the first sub-mounting hole 131 is smaller than the diameter of the second sub-mounting hole 132. Further, a support portion 16 is provided at the upper end of the second sub-mounting hole 132, extending into the second sub-mounting hole 132 in a hook shape. One end of the support portion 16 abuts against the second plate 22, and the other end abuts against the cover plate body 11. Thus, through the support portion 16, the cover plate body 11 can be connected to the second plastic part 12, and the cover plate body 11 can also be connected to the second plate 22.
[0035] Furthermore, the thickness of the cover plate body 11 in contact with the support portion 16 is greater than or equal to 0.7 mm. The cover plate body 11 comprises two parts: one part contacts the support portion 16, and the other part is located on the lower side and snaps into the second plastic part 12. The part in contact with the support portion 16 needs to be riveted to the first plate 21 during assembly; therefore, the thickness should not be set too large or too small. If it is too small, it will affect the structural strength; if it is too large, it will affect the height of the pole post 2.
[0036] Specifically, the second plastic part 12 is provided with a slot 17, which is located on the side of the second mounting hole 132. The cover plate body 11 is provided with a rib 18, which engages with the slot 17 to form a detachable connection between the first plate 21 and the second plastic part 12. Further, the length L4 of the rib 18 extending into the slot 17 is 0.3mm-0.6Hmm, where H is the thickness of the cover plate body 11. This design prevents relative rotation between the cover plate body 11 and the second plastic part 12, resulting in higher structural stability. Furthermore, the height H3 of the electrode post 2 protruding from the cover plate body 11 is 1.5-4mm. Setting the height of the electrode post 2 within a suitable range ensures a smaller overall height of the cover plate assembly, facilitating subsequent battery assembly.
[0037] This utility model also provides a battery, including the cover assembly described above. Based on this, this utility model also provides an automobile, including the battery described above. Since the main utility model feature lies in the cover assembly, the structures of the battery and the automobile will not be described in detail.
[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
