Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of lithium batteries and their accessories, and in particular relates to an anti-loosening fastener for lithium battery cover plates. Background Technology

[0002] Lithium batteries are a type of battery that uses lithium metal or lithium alloy as the positive / negative electrode material and a non-aqueous electrolyte solution. They are mainly composed of three parts: the battery casing, the battery cover, and the battery cell. The battery cover covers the top of the battery casing, while the battery cell is installed inside the battery casing. The battery casing and the battery cover protect the battery cell.

[0003] Chinese patent application CN222980635U discloses a simplified cover plate assembly and a lithium battery. The assembly includes a cover plate body with electrode lead-out holes, a limiting step extending circumferentially above or below the electrode lead-out holes, and positioning grooves at both ends of the electrode lead-out holes. An electrode post passes through the electrode lead-out holes, and its outer circumferential surface is a rough plane. A plastic part is located between the cover plate body and the electrode post, covering the limiting step, and female buckles are provided at both ends of the plastic part. An electrode through-hole is provided on the lower plastic bracket, and a first elastic arm and a second elastic arm are circumferentially arranged around the electrode through-hole. The ends of the first and second elastic arms are male buckles corresponding to the female buckles. The lithium battery also includes an electrode assembly and a casing. This invention significantly reduces the number of structural components in the cover plate assembly, simplifies the structure and assembly difficulty of the cover plate assembly and lithium battery, and improves the assembly yield of the cover plate assembly and lithium battery.

[0004] The aforementioned minimalist cover assembly and lithium battery have electrode through holes on both sides of the lower plastic bracket. A first elastic arm is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of one side of the electrode through hole, and a second elastic arm is mounted at the upper end of the first elastic arm. The first elastic arm on the lower plastic bracket is engaged with the housing through the second elastic arm. However, the contact area between the first and second elastic arms and the lower plastic bracket is relatively thin, and repeated manipulation of the first and second elastic arms during assembly and disassembly can easily cause them to break. Furthermore, the cover assembly has a double-layer structure, with the two layers stacked together. This stacking increases the overall thickness and weight of the cover, thus increasing the weight of the lithium battery. Therefore, we provide an anti-loosening fastener for a lithium battery cover to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content
