In fig. 6, a dimension line "B" shows the penetration of the third connecting portion 213; the penetration B of the third connecting portion 213 cannot be too small, otherwise, the welding strength between the explosion-proof valve body 10 and the target side wall 21 is easily insufficient, so that air leakage occurs in the use process of the battery, and the reliability of the battery is reduced, so that the penetration B of the third connecting portion 213 needs to satisfy B being greater than or equal to 0.25 mm; if the penetration B of the third connection portion 213 is too large, on one hand, the support portion 211 is easily deformed greatly, and when the pole group is put into the case, the pole group is easily damaged, resulting in a short circuit of the pole group, and on the other hand, the support portion 211 is easily welded through, resulting in air leakage of the case body 20, and affecting the sealability of the battery, so that the penetration B of the third connection portion 213 also needs to satisfy B less than or equal to 0.8×t, where T is the thickness of the target sidewall 21.
In this embodiment, the penetration B of the third connecting portion 213 is equal to or less than 0.25 mm and equal to or less than 0.8×t, where T is the thickness of the target sidewall 21, so that on one hand, the welding strength between the explosion-proof valve body 10 and the target sidewall 21 can be ensured, and air leakage in the battery using process is avoided, thereby improving the reliability of the battery, on the other hand, the supporting portion 211 can be prevented from being deformed greatly, thereby preventing the pole group from being damaged when the pole group is put into the shell, avoiding causing a pole group short circuit, and on the other hand, the supporting portion 211 can be prevented from being welded through, the air leakage of the housing body 20 is prevented, and the tightness of the battery is ensured.

Note that, in fig. 6, a dimension line "a" shows a melting width of the third connecting portion 213; the melting width a of the third connecting portion 213 cannot be too small, otherwise, insufficient welding strength between the explosion-proof valve body 10 and the target side wall 21 is easily caused, so that air leakage is caused in the use process of the battery, and the reliability of the battery is reduced, so that the melting width a of the third connecting portion 213 needs to meet that a is more than or equal to 0.5 mm; if the melting width a of the third connecting portion 213 is too large, the welding seam easily extends to the non-body portion (including the notch section, the notch surface and the connecting section therebetween) of the explosion-proof valve body 10 in the welding process, so that the notch shape of the explosion-proof valve body 10 is affected, the reliability of the explosion-proof valve is low, and the leakage of the explosion-proof valve is caused, therefore, the melting width a of the third connecting portion 213 also needs to satisfy a less than or equal to 7 xj, where J is the thickness of the boss portion 12.

TABLE 1
From this, it can be seen that the penetration B of the third connecting portion 213 satisfies 0.25 mm ++b.ltoreq.0.8xt, where T is the thickness of the target sidewall 21, and the penetration a of the third connecting portion 213 satisfies 0.5 mm.ltoreq.a.ltoreq.7xj, where J is the thickness of the boss portion 12, so that the tightness between the explosion-proof valve body 10 and the case body 20 can be effectively ensured, thereby effectively avoiding air leakage during the battery operation, and improving the safety and reliability of the battery.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 4, the target sidewall 21 is formed with chamfers 214 on both sides in the width direction; the distance between the sinking groove 203 and the chamfer 214 is E, and E meets E not less than 1mm.
Note that, a dimension line "E" in fig. 4 shows a distance between the sink 203 and the chamfer 214; if the distance E between the countersink 203 and the chamfer 214 is too small, on one hand, the through hole 202 and the countersink 203 corresponding to the through hole 202 cannot be formed in the punching process of the housing body 20, and the housing body 20 is easy to deform, on the other hand, in the welding process of the explosion-proof valve body 10 and the housing body 20, a welding blanket is easy to cause to shield the countersink 203, so that the welding cannot be performed on the explosion-proof valve body 10, and therefore, the distance E between the countersink 203 and the chamfer 214 needs to satisfy that E is not less than 1 mm.
In this embodiment, the distance E between the countersink 203 and the chamfer 214 is greater than or equal to 1mm by satisfying E, which not only can effectively ensure that the shell body 20 forms the through hole 202 and the countersink 203 in the punching process, avoid the deformation of the shell body 20, but also can avoid the shielding of the countersink 203 by the welding blanket in the welding process, and ensure the smooth implementation of welding to the explosion-proof valve body 10.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 8 and fig. 9, at least a part of the area of the groove surface 13, which is close to the boss portion 12, is recessed to form a notch segment 11, and one side of the notch segment 11, which is far from the boss portion 12, is adapted to be circumferentially surrounded to form an opening surface 15;
the residual thickness of the notch section 11 is K, K is more than or equal to 0.030 mm and less than or equal to K and less than L and less than J, wherein L is the thickness of the notch surface 13.
It should be noted that, in fig. 9, a dimension line "K" shows a residual thickness of the score segment 11, where "residual thickness" refers to a residual thickness of the explosion-proof valve body 10 corresponding to a position of the score segment 11 after the score segment 11 is opened; the residual thickness K of the notch section 11 cannot be too small, otherwise, the notch surface 13 is easily opened when the explosion pressure in the battery is not reached, and the stability and the reliability of the explosion-proof valve are reduced, so that the residual thickness K of the notch section 11 is required to meet that K is more than or equal to 0.030 mm; if the residual thickness K of the notch section 11 is too large, the notch section is not easy to open and can not be timely decompressed, and the safety risk of the battery is increased, so that the residual thickness K of the notch section 11 also needs to meet K < L < J, wherein L is the thickness of the notch surface 13.
In the embodiment, the residual thickness K of the notch section 11 is smaller than or equal to K and smaller than L and smaller than J by meeting the requirement of 0.030 mm, wherein L is the thickness of the groove surface 13, so that on one hand, the stability and the reliability of the explosion-proof valve can be ensured, and on the other hand, the explosion-proof valve can be ensured to be opened and decompressed in time.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 8 and fig. 9, at least a portion of the recess surface 13 near the boss portion 12 is further provided with a connecting section 14, where the connecting section 14 is adapted to connect at least a portion of the opening surface 15 with the recess surface 13.
Further, the connecting section 14, the groove surface 13 and the opening surface 15 are integrally formed.
In this embodiment, the opening surface 15 is at least partially connected to the groove surface 13 through the connecting section 14, so that the whole opening surface 15 is prevented from flying out after the explosion-proof valve is opened, and short circuit is prevented.
In some embodiments, the connecting section 14 has a thickness M, M satisfying K < M.ltoreq.L.
It should be noted that, the thickness M of the connecting section 14 cannot be too small, otherwise, the connection strength between the groove surface 13 and the boss portion 12 cannot be ensured, and there is a risk that the entire groove surface 13 flies out after the explosion-proof valve is opened, so the thickness M of the connecting section 14 needs to satisfy M > K; the thickness of the connecting section 14 may be equal to the thickness of the groove face 13, and the connecting section 14 may be smaller than the thickness of the groove face 13.
In the embodiment, the thickness M of the connecting section 14 satisfies K < M.ltoreq.L, thereby ensuring the connection strength between the opening surface 15 and the groove surface 13 and effectively avoiding the whole opening surface 15 from flying out after the explosion-proof valve is opened.
