[0050] 3) Provide a top cover sheet 100, which is provided with a mounting hole 10 extending vertically therethrough. The top surface of the top cover sheet 100 has a mounting groove 101 formed as a downward depression. The mounting groove 101 is arranged around the periphery of the mounting hole 10 and is in communication with the mounting hole 10. The mounting groove 101 is provided with a plurality of lower strip grooves 102 formed as downward depressions. The plurality of lower strip grooves 102 are arranged at intervals around the periphery of the mounting hole 10. Insert the pole 200 in the second assembly downward through the mounting hole 10 until the plurality of lower ridges 403 are respectively embedded in the plurality of lower strip grooves 102. The lower ridges 403 and the lower strip grooves 102 cooperate and are fixed to each other to form a third assembly. The lower portion of the pole 200 is exposed below the top cover sheet 100.

[0051] 4) Provide a sealing ring 600 and a lower plastic part 700, and respectively sleeve the sealing ring 600 and the lower plastic part 700 on the outer periphery of the lower part of the pole 200 to form a fourth component;

[0052] 5) Provide a connecting piece 500 having an upwardly facing connecting surface and a connecting hole 501 extending vertically therethrough. Insert the pole 200 in the fourth component into the connecting hole 501 and simultaneously press it up and down until the bottom surface of the pole 200 is flush with the lower surface of the connecting piece 500. Then, weld the pole 200 and the connecting piece 500 to form a battery top cover.

[0053] The assembly method of the battery top cover assembly provided above is to weld the pole 200 and the pole block 300 into one piece first, then sequentially install multiple components of the battery top cover, and finally press the bottom surface of the pole 200 to be flush with the bottom surface of the connecting piece 500, so as to ensure that the multiple components are clamped and fixed between the connecting piece 500 and the pole block 300, the overall connection is stable, and the sealing ring 600 reaches a certain compression amount; at the same time, a lower strip groove 102 is provided in the installation groove 101, and an upper strip groove is provided on the pole block 300. 302, the upper plastic part 400 is provided with an upper ridge 402 and a lower ridge 403 corresponding to each other. The upper ridge 402 is embedded in the upper strip groove 302, and the lower ridge 403 is embedded in the lower strip groove 102, so that a stable connection is provided between the pole block 300, the upper plastic part 400 and the top cover sheet 100, and at the same time, the assembly between the upper plastic part 400, the top cover sheet 100 and the pole block 300 is facilitated, avoiding displacement during the assembly process, and effectively preventing loosening under external force environment to cause safety hazards.

[0054] The pole 200 is columnar, and from top to bottom, the pole 200 includes an upper section 201 that expands radially outward, a middle section 202, and a lower section 203 that contracts radially inward.

[0055] The upper section 201 is exposed above the top cover sheet 100, the middle section 202 passes through the mounting hole 10, and the lower section 203 is exposed in the direction of the top cover sheet 100. Along the axial direction, there is a step shape between the upper section 201 and the middle section 202, and there is a step shape between the middle section 202 and the lower section 203.

[0056] The upper portion of the upper hole 301 is radially recessed outward to form an upper stepped groove 3010, which is arranged in a circumferential pattern. In step 1), as the lower portion of the pole 200 is inserted into the upper hole 301, the upper section 201 fits into the upper stepped groove 3010, and the two fit together. This fit between the upper section 201 and the upper stepped groove 3010 ensures a well-positioned installation, effectively controlling the vertical relationship between the top of the upper section 201 and the top of the pole block 300.

[0057] Specifically, in step 2) and step 3), the middle section 202 passes through the lower hole 401 and the mounting hole 10 from top to bottom. In step 4), the sealing ring 600 is fixedly mounted on the outer periphery of the middle section 202 to ensure sealing performance.

[0058] The upper portion of the connecting hole 501 is radially recessed outward to form a lower step groove 5010 , which is arranged in a circular shape. In step 5), the bottom of the middle section 202 is embedded in the lower step groove 5010 , and the lower section 203 is embedded in the lower portion of the connecting hole 501 .

[0059] In this way, it plays a role in positioning and installation. When the upper and lower parts are pressed synchronously, after the bottom of the middle section 202 is pressed against the lower step groove 5010, the connecting piece 500 is abutted and cannot continue to move toward the top cover piece 100, thereby effectively controlling the compression amount of the sealing ring 600. At the same time, when welding between the bottom of the pole 200 and the connecting piece 500, it effectively protects the sealing ring 600, and the middle section 202 effectively prevents welding slag from falling onto the sealing ring 600 through the gap.

[0060] In step 5), a sealed gap is defined between the connecting surface and the top cover sheet 100. A sealing ring 600 is positioned within the sealed gap and clamped therein. A lower plastic member 700 is also positioned within the sealed gap, surrounding the outer periphery of the sealing ring 600. Lower plastic member 700 prevents contact between the top cover sheet 100 and the connecting sheet 500, preventing short circuits and making the overall structure more compact.

[0061] Specifically, the top cover plate 100 has a surrounding mounting wall that encloses the mounting hole 10. An annular gap is defined between the outer periphery of the pole 200 and the mounting wall. The top of the sealing ring 600 extends toward the annular gap to form an upper ring 610. In step 4), the upper ring 610 is embedded in the annular gap and clamped and fixed between the pole 200 and the top cover plate 100. This prevents contact between the pole 200 and the top cover plate 100, resulting in a more compact overall structure and improved sealing performance.

[0062] 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 4), the upper positioning post 720 is embedded in the upper positioning hole 20.

[0063] 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 downwardly protruding lower positioning column 710, and the connecting surface has a downwardly recessed lower positioning hole 502; in step 1), the lower positioning column 710 is embedded in the lower positioning hole 502.

[0064] 11 and 12 , the connecting piece 500 may be in a flat plate shape as shown in FIG. 11 , or may be bent, may be directly integrally formed by a mold as shown in FIG. 12 , or may be formed by two flat plates connected by a connecting structure.

[0065] The cooperation between the upper positioning post 720 and the upper positioning hole 20 plays the role of positioning the lower plastic part 700 on the top cover 100 , and the cooperation between the lower positioning post 710 and the lower positioning hole 502 plays the role of positioning the connecting piece 500 on the lower plastic part 700 .

[0066] In step 1), after the top surface of the pole 200 is flush with the top surface of the pole block 300, welding is performed along the entire circumference of the top of the pole 200 to securely connect the pole 200 and the pole block 300.

[0067] In step 5), after the bottom surface of the pole 200 is aligned with the lower surface of the connecting piece 500, welding is performed along the entire circumference of the bottom of the pole 200 to securely connect the pole 200 and the connecting piece 500. This ensures that the entire structure is fixed to each other and the sealing performance is guaranteed.

[0068] The outer periphery of the upper plastic part 400 extends upward to form an upper extension ring 410. The upper extension ring 410 is arranged along the circumference of the upper plastic part 400 to surround the mounting area. The bottom of the pole piece 300 has a lower protrusion 310 that protrudes downward and is embedded in the mounting area. The upper strip groove 302 is formed on the bottom of the lower protrusion 310. The upper protrusion 402 is formed in the surrounding area.

[0069] In step 2), the bottom of the pole piece 300 is pressed downwardly against the upper extension ring 410, and the lower protrusion 310 is embedded in the installation area. The lower protrusion 310 is installed in the installation area until the upper protrusion 402 is completely embedded in the upper strip groove 302. This ensures a more stable connection between the upper plastic component 400 and the pole piece 300, and a more stable overall structure.

[0070] In this embodiment, the upper extension ring 410 has an annular wall arranged toward the installation area, and an elastic ring 411 is provided on the annular wall and extends toward the installation area. The elastic ring 411 is arranged along the circumference of the annular wall. The outer periphery of the lower protrusion 310 has an outer peripheral wall in an annular shape, and an annular groove 311 is provided on the outer peripheral wall to form a radially inward depression. The annular groove 311 is arranged along the circumference of the outer peripheral wall.

[0071] In step 2), during the process of embedding the lower protrusion 310 into the installation area, the outer peripheral wall of the elastic ring 411 expands radially outward under the squeezing action, and the lower protrusion 310 continues to be embedded downward until the upper protrusion 402 is completely embedded in the upper strip groove 302. The elastic ring 411 is aligned with the annular groove 311, and the elastic ring 411 is elastically reset under the action of elastic force. The elastic ring 411 is embedded in the annular groove 311 to prevent the pole piece 300 from being disconnected under the action of axial force.

[0072] Through the design of the elastic ring 411, during the assembly process, it effectively prevents the stop block 300 from being displaced under the action of axial force. The cooperation between the upper protrusion 402 and the upper strip groove 302 prevents the lower pole block 300 from being displaced under the lateral force, making the assembly operation easier and the overall connection more compact and stable.
