The directional terms mentioned in the following embodiments are, for example: upper, lower, left, right, front or rear, etc., are merely references to the directions of the drawings.

Example 1:

as shown in connection with fig. 1, 8, 11 and 13, a top cover comprises:

a top cover sheet 3 provided with a pole hole in the thickness direction thereof;

the pole 1 is fixed on the top cover plate 3 and comprises a pole body 101 and a second safety part 102 which are connected, the second safety part 102 comprises a second fusing part 1021, and the sectional area S2 of the second fusing part 1021 is smaller than the sectional area of the pole body 101;

an insulating member including a second insulator 4; the second insulating piece 4 is provided with an isolating layer 401 protruding towards the direction of the top cover sheet 3, and the outer edge of the isolating layer 401 is clamped in the pole hole; the isolation layer 401 is provided with a first through hole 403, and the second safety part 102 extends out of the first through hole 403;

the switching piece 6 comprises a first connecting part and a first safety part, wherein the first connecting part comprises a pole connecting area 601 and at least one pole lug connecting area 602, and the second safety part 102 extends out of the pole hole and is fixed on the pole connecting area 601; the first protection portion is located in the pole connection region 601, and the first protection portion includes at least one first fusing portion 603, and a cross-sectional area S1 of the first fusing portion 603 is smaller than a cross-sectional area of the first connection portion.

In fig. 11 and 13, the first connection portion includes a pole connection region 601 and a pole connection region 602, and the pole connection regions 602 are symmetrically disposed on two sides of the pole connection region 601. As shown in fig. 11, the first fuse portion is located in the pole connection region 601, and the number of the first fuse portions 603 is one; as shown in fig. 13, the first fuse portion is located in the tab connection region 602, and each tab connection region 602 is correspondingly provided with a first fuse portion 603. Of course, the pole connection region 601 may be provided with a plurality of first fuse portions 603, and the plurality of first fuse portions 603 may be formed in parallel or may be formed in a staggered manner.

Let the sum of the sectional areas S1 of all the first fuse portions 603 be S1', S1' smaller than S2.

Note that, regardless of the configuration of the changeover piece 6 shown in fig. 11 or the configuration of the changeover piece 6 shown in fig. 13, the sum of the sectional areas S1 of all the first fusing portions 603 is S1', S1' smaller than S2.

The top cover provided in this embodiment forms reliable and effective multi-stage protection by providing the first fusing part 603 and the second fusing part 1021 on the adapter plate 6, when the second connection occurs at the fusing position of the first fusing part 603 after fusing, the battery is out of control and has thousands of amperes of extra-large current, the second fusing part 1021 is fused instantly, and the current loop is disconnected again, so as to avoid the continuous deterioration of the battery condition.

Taking fig. 11 as an example, the implementation principle is specifically described: the overcurrent area S1 of the first fusing part 603 is smaller than the overcurrent area S2 of the second fusing part 1021, meaning that the current required to fuse the first fusing part 603 is smaller than the current required to fuse the second fusing part 1021. When the inside of the battery is abnormal, a large current passes through the first fusing part 603, and the first fusing part 603 is fused in the millisecond level (generating relatively near kiloamperes) of the instantaneous large current, so that a current loop is disconnected; under the condition that the battery is deformed by external force or is in an inverted loading working condition, the first fusing part 603 is connected secondarily, a battery loop is communicated again, the battery is in a high-temperature environment at this time, the minimum overcurrent surface is not limited to the first fusing part 603, thousands of amperes of extra-large current in a runaway state can occur, the second fusing part 1021 is instantaneously fused (namely the pole 1 is blown), the current loop is disconnected, the first fusing part 603 of the adapter piece 6 can keep high sensitivity, and the second fusing part 1021 of the pole 1 can further improve the safety of the battery.

In this embodiment, the height of the second fusing part 1021 is L, and the value of L ranges from 0.5mm to 2.0mm. The second fusing part 1021 is provided only on the electrode post having a lower melting point in the battery. For example, in the conventional battery, the material of the positive electrode post is aluminum, the melting point of aluminum is 660.4 ℃, the material of the negative electrode post is copper-aluminum composite, that is, the upper portion of the negative electrode post is aluminum, the lower portion of the negative electrode post is copper, the melting point of copper is 1083.4 ℃, and it can be seen that the melting point of copper is much higher than that of aluminum, and if the second fusing part 1021 is provided on the negative electrode post, even if the battery is abnormal due to the overcurrent problem, the second fusing part 1021 provided on the negative electrode post is still not fused, so the second fusing part 1021 is provided in the positive electrode post of the battery.

The pole body 101 and the second safety part 102 may be integrally formed, or the pole body 101 and the second safety part 102 may be fixedly connected by laser welding.

In this embodiment, the second insulating member 4 is a plastic sheet member, and is mounted on the lower surface of the top cover sheet 3, so as to insulate the battery cell from the top cover sheet 3. The "lower surface" herein means the surface of the top cover sheet 3 close to the battery cell. Of course, in some embodiments, the second insulator 4 may not be employed, but other forms of insulation such as a coated insulating material may be employed.

In the present embodiment, S1' and S2 satisfy the relation: s2= (1.15 to 1.6) ×s1'. Wherein, 1.15-1.6 is the safety coefficient set by the utility model. In the embodiment, the safety coefficient of 1.15-1.6 is set, and on the basis that S1 'is smaller than S2, the sizes of S1' and S2 are related, so that the sensitivity and the safety of the multi-stage protection structure can be further ensured.

In the present embodiment, the thickness of the switching piece 6 is in the range of 0.6mm to 2.2mm.

Referring to fig. 7 and 11, in the present embodiment, the adapter plate 6 is formed with a second through hole 604 in the thickness direction of the adapter plate 6;

the second safety part 102 further includes a second connecting part 1022, one end of the second connecting part 1022 is connected to the second fusing part 1021, and the opposite end extends into the second through hole 604 and forms a fit with the second through hole 604;

the second connection portion 1022 has a cross-sectional area smaller than that of the post body 101 and larger than that of the second fusing portion 1021. When the battery is abnormal, the second fusing part 1021 can be fused, and the second connecting part 1022 is not fused.

Further, the second safety portion 102 further includes a flange 1024, and when the second connecting portion 1022 extends into the second through hole 604 and is engaged with the second through hole 604, the flange 1024 is engaged with the second through hole 604 of the adapter piece 6. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the width of the flange 1024 is w, which ranges from 0.2mm to 1.5mm.

The assembly method of the present embodiment is as follows:

Example 2:

this embodiment substantially corresponds to embodiment 1, except that, as shown in fig. 3 and 8, the second insulating member 4 is provided with a first boss 402 around the first through hole 403, and the first boss 402 projects in a direction away from the top sheet 3, the first boss 402 abutting the rotation sheet 6. It should be noted that, the second insulating member 4 insulates and protects the pole portion above the second fusing part 1021 of the pole 1, so as to ensure that the second fusing part 1021 is the only overcurrent position of the pole 1, and after the second fusing part 1021 fuses, any possibility of contact between the pole 1 at the upper and lower parts of the second fusing part 1021 is avoided. Specifically, the protrusion height of the first protrusion 402 is 0.1mm to 1.5mm.

Even after the second fusing part 1021 is fused by a large current or the battery is deformed after being subjected to external force, the propped part of the first protruding part 402 and the adapter piece 6 can also support the pole 1 parts below and above the second fusing part 1021 to limit and separate the two parts, so that secondary connection of the fusing position is effectively prevented, and the safety of the battery is improved.

In this embodiment, the insulating member further includes a first insulating member 2, where the first insulating member 2 is sleeved on the pole body 101, and insulates and fixes the pole body 101 to the top cover 3. Specifically, the first insulating member 2 has a substantially annular shape, the first insulating member 2 is sleeved on the pole 1, and the first insulating member 2 is formed between the pole 1 and the top cover sheet 3 by injection molding, so as to fix the pole 1 on the top cover sheet 3 and insulate the pole 1 from the top cover sheet 3.

Example 3:

this embodiment is basically identical to embodiment 1, except that the adapter plate 6 is provided with a second boss 605 around the second through hole 604, the second boss 605 being in insulating abutment with the post body 101. The second boss 605 may be insulated from the post body 101 by an insulating layer, which may be a coated insulating material or an external insulator. For example, the spacer 401 may act as an insulator, i.e. the second boss 605 abuts the spacer 401.

Example 4:

the present embodiment is basically identical to embodiment 1, except that the second insulating member 4 in the present embodiment is provided with a first protruding portion 402, and the adapter sheet 6 is formed with a second protruding portion 605, wherein the first protruding portion 402 abuts against the adapter sheet 6, and the second protruding portion 605 abuts against the separator 401.

As shown in fig. 10, a first surface and a second surface are formed opposite to each other in the height direction of the stopper element 5, the first surface abutting against the post body 101, and the second surface abutting against the tab 6. Specifically, the material of the limiting element 5 is one or more of aluminum nitride, aluminum oxide, boron nitride, silicon carbide, magnesium oxide, zinc oxide and zirconium oxide, so that it can be seen that the limiting element 5 is resistant to high temperature, and even if the second fusing part 1021 melts, the limiting element 5 can not be affected by high temperature, and can always play a supporting role, and further secondary connection of the fused second fusing part 1021 is prevented.
