[0048] 1-11 , which are preferred embodiments of the present application.

[0049] The assembly method of the battery top cover provided in this application includes the following assembly steps:

[0050] 1) Provide a connecting piece 200, which includes a first connecting plate 201 with a pole 210 and a second connecting plate 202 connected to the battery cell. The first connecting plate 201 has an upwardly arranged connecting surface with an upwardly protruding pole 210 on the connecting surface. The second connecting plate 202 is connected to one end of the first connecting plate 201 and bends downward away from the pole 210. The middle of the pole 210 has a central hole that passes through the pole 210 and the first connecting plate 201 from top to bottom.

[0051] Provide a top cover sheet 100 having a mounting hole 10 extending therethrough; insert the pole 210 through the lower plastic part 700, the sealing ring 300, and the mounting hole 10, respectively; and arrange the lower plastic part 700 and the sealing ring 300 around the periphery of the pole 210;

[0052] 2) The upper end surface of the top cover 100 has a downwardly recessed mounting groove 101. The mounting groove 101 surrounds the outer periphery of the mounting hole 10 and is in communication with the mounting hole 10. The upper plastic part 500 is installed on the mounting groove 101 from top to bottom. The upper plastic part 500 surrounds the outer periphery of the pole 210, and the upper portion of the pole 210 passes through the upper plastic part 500.

[0053] Provide a pole block 400, and install the pole block 400 on the upper plastic part 500, with the pole block 400 pressing against the upper plastic part 500 from top to bottom. The upper portion of the pole post 210 has a stamping section located above the pole block 400;

[0054] When the pole piece 400 is pressed steadily against the upper plastic part 500, a top cover assembly to be pressed is formed;

[0055] 3) Use molds or fixtures, tooling, and jigs to clamp the top cover assembly up and down;

[0056] 4) Provide a cylindrical seal 600, with the upper portion of the seal 600 radially extending outward to form an extension portion 601. The axial length of the seal 600 is less than the axial length of the center hole. Insert the seal 600 into the center hole from top to bottom until the top of the extension portion 601 is flush with the top of the pole piece 400 and the bottom of the seal 600 is flush with the bottom of the first connecting plate 201. Under the pressure of the extension portion 601, the stamping section radially turns outward to form an outward expansion portion 212. The bottom of the outward expansion portion 212 presses against the pole piece 400.

[0057] 5) Welding and fixing; by welding, respectively, the outer periphery of the top of the seal 600 is welded to the outer expansion portion 212, and the outer periphery of the bottom of the seal 600 is welded to the first connecting plate 201 to ensure overcurrent, and the outer periphery of the outer expansion portion 212 is welded to the pole block 400 to ensure overcurrent; forming the battery top cover.

[0058] The assembly method of the battery top cover provided above is to install the connecting piece 200 with the pole 210, the sealing ring 300, the lower plastic part 700, the top cover piece 100, the upper plastic part 500 and the pole block 400 in the mounting hole 10 in sequence, and then embed the sealing member 600 in the center hole, so that the top of the pole 210 is turned outward and the multiple components are compactly connected. At the same time, it is ensured that the sealing ring 300 reaches a certain amount of compression, and then by welding, a battery top cover with a compact and stable overall structure is formed with better sealing.

[0059] Specifically, the pole 210, the first connecting plate 201 and the second connecting plate 202 are integrally formed, so that the overall structure is stable, the installation process is reduced, and the cost is reduced.

[0060] Specifically, the middle portion of the pole block 400 has a through hole for the upper portion of the pole post 210 to pass through, and the top of the through hole has an outwardly recessed radially outwardly extending groove 401. In step 4), under the pressure of the expansion portion 601, the stamped section is turned outward until the outer periphery of the stamped section presses against the sidewall of the outwardly extending groove 401, forming the outwardly extending portion 212.

[0061] The top of the outwardly expanded portion 212 is flush with the top of the pole piece 400, and the bottom of the outwardly expanded portion 212 presses against the outwardly expanded slot 401. In this way, by adapting the pole piece 400 having the outwardly expanded slot 401, the space formed by the outwardly expanded portion 212 is reserved, which plays a role in shaping the outwardly expanded portion 212, making the connection between the pole piece 400 and the pole post 210 tighter and more stable after welding.

[0062] In step 1), the sealing ring 300 wraps around the outer periphery of the pole 210 and the bottom of the sealing ring 300 presses against the connecting piece 200. A sealing gap is formed between the connecting surface and the lower surface of the top cover piece 100, and the sealing ring 300 is clamped and fixed in the sealing gap.

[0063] A lower plastic part 700 is also arranged in the sealing interval, and the lower plastic part 700 is arranged around the outer periphery of the sealing ring 300. In this way, through the action of the lower plastic part 700 and the sealing ring 300, the connecting piece 200 and the top cover piece 100 are effectively isolated to avoid short circuit.

[0064] The top cover 100 has a surrounding mounting wall that encloses a mounting hole 10. An annular gap is formed between the outer periphery of the pole 210 and the mounting hole 10. The top of the sealing ring 300 extends upward to form an upper ring 310. The upper ring 310 is arranged around the inner periphery of the sealing ring 300.

[0065] In step 1), upper ring 310 is inserted into the annular spacer from bottom to top, where it is clamped and secured. This design effectively prevents contact between the mounting wall and the pole 210, preventing short circuits. It also secures the sealing ring 300, ensuring a secure seal.

[0066] The upper surface of the lower plastic part 700 is pressed against the lower surface of the top cover 100 from bottom to top. The upper surface of the lower plastic part 700 has an upwardly protruding upper positioning post 720, and the lower surface of the top cover 100 has an upwardly recessed upper positioning hole 20. In step 1), the upper positioning post 720 is embedded in the upper positioning hole 20.

[0067] The connecting surface abuts against the lower surface of the lower plastic part 700 from bottom to top. The lower surface of the lower plastic part 700 has a lower positioning column 710 protruding downward, and the first connecting surface has a lower positioning hole 2000 recessed downward. In step 1), the lower positioning column 710 is embedded in the lower positioning hole 2000.

[0068] By embedding the upper positioning post 720 into the upper positioning hole 20 and the lower positioning post 710 into the lower positioning hole 2000 , the connecting piece 200 and the lower plastic component 700 are positioned and installed on the lower surface of the top cover piece 100 .

[0069] The outer periphery of the upper plastic part 500 extends upward to form an upper extension ring 510. The upper extension ring 510 is arranged around the circumference of the upper plastic part 500 to surround and form a mounting area.

[0070] In step 2), the bottom of pole piece 400 presses downward against the upper end surface of upper extension ring 510. The bottom of pole piece 400 has a downwardly extending protrusion 410 that embeds into the mounting area. This protrusion 410 is fully embedded in the mounting area, and pole piece 400 is assembled and mated with upper plastic component 500. This mating relationship between upper extension ring 510 and protrusion 410 secures pole piece 400 to upper plastic component 500, resulting in a compact overall structure and a more stable connection.

[0071] In this embodiment, in step 4), before the outward expansion portion 212 is formed, the top of the stamping section has an annular trend wall 2100 , and along the bottom-up direction, the trend wall 2100 extends radially outward in an arc shape;

[0072] Under the pressure of the expansion portion 601, the trend wall 2100 is radially turned outward until it forms the outward expansion portion 212. In this way, the trend wall 2100 can be formed on, but is not limited to, the top side wall of the center hole as shown in the figure. When the seal 600 is pressed, the trend wall 2100 is turned outward along the arc extending outward, playing a guiding role.

[0073] In this embodiment, in step 4), the pole 210 includes an annular raised ring 211, the top of which abuts the bottom of the flared portion 212. The raised ring 211 has an annular sidewall facing the seal 600, and the outer periphery of the seal 600 has an abutment wall that abuts the annular sidewall. From top to bottom, the annular sidewall extends radially inward and tilts, while the abutment wall extends radially inward and tilts. The design of the inclined annular sidewall and abutment wall significantly increases the contact area and the force-bearing area compared to a longitudinal extension. It also utilizes the gravity of the seal 600 itself, making the overall connection more compact and more stable.

[0074] In step 5), when the seal 600, the pole 210 and the pole block 400 are made of the same material, full-circle welding is used to achieve welding fixation; when the seal 600, the pole 210 and the pole block 400 are made of different materials, brazing is used to achieve welding fixation.

[0075] In this embodiment, a plurality of rubber rings 800 are fixedly mounted on the outer periphery of the abutting wall. The rubber rings 800 are arranged around the outer periphery of the sealing member 600 and are spaced apart along the axial direction of the sealing member 600. The inner peripheries of the rubber rings 800 are embedded in the sealing member 600, and the outer peripheries of the rubber rings 800 are exposed.

[0076] The annular sidewall has a plurality of radially outwardly recessed positioning grooves 2110. The positioning grooves 2110 are arranged circumferentially along the annular sidewall. The plurality of positioning grooves 2110 are spaced apart axially along the raised ring 211 of the seal 600. The cross-section of the positioning grooves 2110 is arc-shaped.

[0077] In step 4), as the seal 600 is inserted into the center hole from top to bottom, the rubber ring 800 elastically deforms under the clamping force of the abutment wall and the annular sidewall until the rubber ring 800 is embedded in the positioning ring groove 2110, at which point the rubber ring 800 rebounds. In this way, the rubber ring 800's elasticity allows it to be embedded within the inner periphery of the seal 600, securing the outer periphery of the seal 600 with the rubber ring 800. This also acts as a downward pressure on the rubber ring 800, and the elastic force of the rubber ring 800 strengthens the connection between the seal 600 and the terminal 210.

[0078] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
