[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described below are only some, not all, of the embodiments disclosed. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0030] The number of any elements in the accompanying drawings is for illustrative purposes only and not as a limitation, and any naming is for distinction only and has no limiting meaning.
[0031] The principles and spirit of this utility model will be explained in detail below with reference to several representative embodiments.
[0032] The present invention provides a button battery, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it includes a housing 2, a cover 3 that snaps onto the housing 2, and a battery cell 1 disposed in the cavity formed by the housing 2 and the cover 3.
[0033] In this embodiment, an annular sealing ring 4 is embedded inside the outer casing 2. The bottom of the sealing ring 4 extends downward to form a cylindrical fixing section 41. The fixing section 41 is fixedly connected to an extension 42. The battery cell 1 is fitted inside the extension 42, and the outer wall of the battery cell 1 is interference-fitted with the inner wall of the extension 42. This ensures that the battery cell 1 is firmly fixed inside the extension 42, preventing displacement of the battery cell 1 in the radial and axial directions. This effectively solves the displacement problem that may occur during battery use and ensures the stability of battery performance. In this embodiment, the inner wall of the extension 42 is provided with an annular rib 421, and the outer wall of the battery cell 1 is in interference contact with the annular rib 421, which further ensures the stability of the battery cell 1.
[0034] In this embodiment, the bottom of the sealing ring 4 is provided with a positioning protrusion 43, and the corresponding position inside the outer shell 2 is provided with a positioning groove 21. The positioning protrusion 43 and the positioning groove 21 cooperate to achieve rapid and accurate positioning of the sealing ring 4 and the outer shell 2, improving assembly efficiency and quality, and ensuring the relative positional accuracy between the components. In this embodiment, the outer side of the fixing section 41 is provided with a serrated anti-slip texture 411, and the corresponding position on the inner wall of the outer shell 2 is coated with an epoxy resin adhesive layer 22. The serrated anti-slip texture 411 and the epoxy resin adhesive layer 22 are compatible. In this embodiment, the serrated anti-slip texture 411 and the epoxy resin adhesive layer 22 interact to effectively enhance the connection stability between the sealing ring 4 and the outer shell 2.
[0035] In this embodiment, an annular mounting groove 44 is formed between the outer wall of the fixing section 41 and the extension 42. The groove opening of the mounting groove 44 faces the cover 3. The edge of the cover 3 extends downward to form an annular fixing part 31. The fixing part 31 is an elastic snap spring structure. The fixing part 31 is embedded in the mounting groove 44. The bottom end face and the elastic arms on both sides of the fixing part 31 abut against the horizontal groove bottom and the vertical groove wall of the mounting groove 44, respectively, to form a radial and axial bidirectional locking structure, so that the outer shell 2 and the cover 3 are tightly connected, which can effectively prevent the leakage of internal battery materials and improve the battery's moisture-proof and dust-proof capabilities.
[0036] In this embodiment, the fixing part 31 is an open annular retaining spring with an outward chamfer at its open end. The top of the extension part 42 is chamfered on the side facing the fixing part 31, which facilitates the fixing part 31 to be smoothly inserted into the mounting groove 44 and can effectively reduce the assembly difficulty.
[0037] In this embodiment, an annular pressure relief groove 23 is formed on the bottom end face of the inner wall of the outer casing 2. The bottom wall thickness of the pressure relief groove 23 is 30%-40% of the wall thickness of the outer casing 2. The pressure relief groove 23 can provide a pressure release channel when the internal pressure of the battery rises abnormally, thus preventing the battery from exploding. The surface of the pressure relief groove 23 is covered with a tearable sealing film 231. The surface of the sealing film 231 has a cross-shaped tear line. The edge of the sealing film 231 is bonded to the inner wall of the outer casing 2. Under normal conditions, the sealing film 231 prevents leakage. When the pressure rises, it tears in a predetermined direction to ensure that the pressure relief channel is unobstructed.
[0038] In this embodiment, the sealing film 231 is a three-layer composite structure of polyimide, aluminum foil, and polyethylene, wherein the thickness of the aluminum foil layer accounts for 30% of the total thickness of the composite structure.
[0039] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the pressure relief groove 23 is trapezoidal, and a silicone rubber buffer layer 232 is provided at the bottom of the pressure relief groove 23. The buffer layer 232 can buffer the pressure relief impact force and reduce damage to other components of the battery.
[0040] In this embodiment, the walls of the pressure relief groove 23 are inclined, with an inner wall inclination angle α = 65° ± 2° and an outer wall inclination angle β = 40° ± 2°. This helps to release pressure evenly and avoid excessive local pressure that could damage the battery. Furthermore, the 65° ± 2° inclination angle of the inner wall ensures that the impact force generated during the burst is decomposed into horizontal and vertical components upon contact with the inner wall. The horizontal component helps to guide the pressure laterally toward the battery, preventing pressure from concentrating in a localized area and reducing direct impact on critical internal components of the battery.
[0041] In this embodiment, the outer surface of the outer shell 2 is provided with anti-slip texture 24. The anti-slip texture 24 is a wave-shaped texture evenly distributed along the circumference of the outer shell 2, which can increase the friction when the user holds the battery and facilitate operation.
[0042] It should be noted that the battery cell 1 is existing technology. The battery cell 1 is housed in the outer casing 2. The battery cell 1 includes the battery cell 1 body, positive electrode tab, and negative electrode tab. The positive electrode tab and negative electrode tab are respectively led out from the two ends of the axial direction of the battery cell 1 body. The positive electrode tab abuts against the casing 3, and the negative electrode tab abuts against the outer casing 2. Those skilled in the art should be clear about its structure, principle and usage, etc., and will not be described in detail here.
[0043] The button battery provided by this utility model has a fixed and secure cell 1, which can prevent displacement, ensure stable battery performance output, and extend battery life. In addition, the outer shell 2 and the cover 3 have a good sealing performance, which can effectively prevent internal material leakage and enhance moisture and dust resistance. At the same time, the perfect pressure relief mechanism can release pressure in time when the internal pressure of the battery is abnormal, avoid explosion accidents, and ensure user safety.

They are only for the purpose of facilitating the explanation of the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not explicitly or implicitly suggest that the device or element involved must have the specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above-mentioned orientation or positional relationship terms should not be understood or interpreted as limitations on the present invention.
[0045] In addition, in the description of this specification, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three or more, etc., unless otherwise expressly and specifically defined.
