[0017] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0018] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps described in these embodiments do not limit the scope of this invention. It should also be understood that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn to actual scale.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, a riveted power battery cover assembly includes a positive terminal post 3, a negative terminal post 4, a sealing ring 5, and a top cover plate 6. The positive terminal post 3 and the negative terminal post 4 are assembled on the top cover plate 6. Several anti-rotation grooves are formed on the intermediate flange steps of both the positive terminal post 3 and the negative terminal post 4. The anti-rotation grooves have an inverted eight-shaped inward-fastening structure, which can improve the torque of the corresponding terminal post after integral injection molding. Specifically, six positive anti-rotation grooves 31 are formed on the intermediate flange step of the positive terminal post 3, and six negative anti-rotation grooves 41 are formed on the intermediate flange step of the negative terminal post 4. The torque of the terminal post is improved after integral injection molding. Positioning posts are provided at the bottom of the positive terminal post 3 and the negative terminal post 4, and the sealing ring 5 is assembled on the positioning posts. Specifically, a positive positioning post 32 is provided at the bottom of the positive terminal post 3, and a sealing ring 5 is assembled on the bottom of the negative terminal post 4. The part is equipped with a negative electrode positioning post 42, and the sealing ring 5 is installed on the corresponding positioning post.

The inner side wall of the electrode post groove 61 is provided with a first anti-rotation groove 66 and the outer side wall is provided with an anti-rotation rib 62. Of course, in order to save costs, only the first anti-rotation groove 66 can be provided on the inner side wall, or only the anti-rotation rib 62 can be provided on the outer side wall. After the plastic is injected in one piece, the torque of the positive and negative electrode posts is improved, replacing the welded ring parts in the previous process, fundamentally reducing manufacturing costs, simplifying the production process, and increasing the mechanical strength of the component.

[0023] In addition, the positive electrode post 3 is made of aluminum strip by one-piece stamping, which reduces manufacturing costs, and the negative electrode post 4 is made of copper-aluminum composite material by one-piece stamping, which also reduces manufacturing costs.

[0024] In one embodiment, the top cover plate 6 is provided with a first injection hole 64 and eight hot-melt countersunk holes 63, wherein the first injection hole 64 has a structure of a front countersunk hole, a back protrusion, and a middle through hole.

An electrolyte-resistant adhesive is provided around the edge of the explosion-proof valve film 11 to effectively prevent electrolyte from flowing into the explosion-proof valve 7 during the liquid injection process and causing surface contamination of the explosion-proof valve 7. The explosion-proof valve film 11 is provided with a puncture vent hole 111, which can effectively vent air and also prevent external environment from contaminating the surface of the explosion-proof valve.

[0027] In one embodiment, the device further includes a positive electrode plastic 1 and a negative electrode plastic 2, which are installed on the positive electrode post 3 and the negative electrode post 4 by injection molding.

A second injection hole 83 is provided on the lower plastic 8 at a position corresponding to the first injection hole 64. The second injection hole 83 has a structure of a front countersunk hole, a back protrusion, and a through hole in the middle.

[0029] In one embodiment, shrinkage ribs 82 are provided on the lower plastic 8 to improve the assembly problem caused by shrinkage of the lower plastic 8, and can effectively improve the manufacturing yield of the cover plate.

[0030] In one embodiment, it further includes a positive electrode connecting piece 9 and a negative electrode connecting piece 10, which are disposed on both sides of the bottom of the lower plastic 8.

[0031] The assembly process is as follows: (1) Place the top cover plate 6 into a special welding fixture, place the explosion-proof valve 7 into the explosion-proof valve positioning groove 65 on the back of the top cover plate 6, and achieve sealing welding by laser welding. (2) Then assemble the two sealing rings 5 ​​onto the positive electrode positioning post 32 and the negative electrode positioning post 42 respectively; (3) Place the positive terminal 3 and negative terminal 4, with the sealing ring 5 installed, into the terminal groove 61 of the top cover plate 6, which has been welded with the explosion-proof valve 7. Use a riveting device to position the shape of the top cover plate 6, press the positive terminal 3 and negative terminal 4, and rivet the side wall of the flanged hole in the terminal groove 61 of the top cover plate 6 so that it is as shown. Figure 8 (At point A) the surface is flat and the dimensions meet the design requirements; (4) Place the semi-finished product obtained in step (3) into the plastic coating mold on the positive and negative electrodes. Use injection molding to press the positive electrode post 3 and the negative electrode post 4 through the mold to compress and seal the sealing ring 5, and then inject the plastic 1 on the positive electrode and the plastic 2 on the negative electrode. Figure 9 As shown, this achieves the overall sealing performance of the positive and negative terminals of the entire battery top cover assembly; (5) The hot melt column 81 of the lower plastic 8 is installed on the hot melt counterhole 63 on the back of the top cover plate 6 of the injection-molded positive and negative electrode plastic, and the tight connection between the lower plastic 8 and the top cover plate 6 is achieved by the hot melt equipment. (6) Finally, attach the explosion-proof valve film 11 to the front of the explosion-proof valve positioning groove 65 of the top cover plate 6 to protect the explosion-proof valve 7.
