The cover plastic 3 is an insulating material, such as PP, PPs, etc.
Furthermore, the two pole blocks, the two pole block plastics and the two poles of the embodiment have basically no difference in size, and the main difference is in material.

Fig. 6 shows the structure of the negative electrode block 62 of the battery cover plate assembly according to the embodiment of the present application, which is a three-dimensional structure, a top view structure, a front view structure, a C-C cross-sectional structure thereof, and a bottom view structure sequentially from top to bottom. The negative electrode block 62 has a double-layer composite structure, including a first composite layer 62a and a second composite layer 62b, wherein the first composite layer 62a is preferably made of aluminum, and the second composite layer 62b is preferably made of copper. The middle of the negative pole block 62 is provided with a pole hole 60 which can be welded with the pole platform 55 of the corresponding negative pole 52, and the inner edge of the pole hole 60 of the negative pole block 62 is connected with the edge of the pole platform 55 of the negative pole 52 by laser welding.
The negative electrode block plastic 42 is an insulating material, such as PP, PPs, etc.; the anode block plastic 41 is a non-insulating material, which is used to conduct the anode block 61 and the cover plate 2, and may be a conductive material such as PP + carbon, metal, silicon carbide, etc.
The positive electrode block plastic 41 and the negative electrode block plastic 42 have different functions, and in a battery design scheme, the shell and the positive electrode block 61 are usually required to be electrically connected to each other to ensure a certain electrical connection, so that the potential of the shell can be increased, and electrochemical corrosion of an electric core on the inside of the shell in the charging and discharging processes can be avoided, so that the positive electrode block plastic 41 corresponding to the positive electrode block 61 needs to be made of a conductive material, for example, the conductive plastic or a metal material can be adopted; because the cover plate 2 of the housing top cover has a certain electrical connection requirement with the positive electrode block 61, in order to avoid the short circuit between the negative electrode block 62 and the cover plate 2 of the housing top cover, the negative electrode block plastic 42 corresponding to the negative electrode block 62 needs to be made of an insulating material to ensure that the negative electrode block plastic has good electrical insulation performance, for example, the insulating plastic can be used. In the structural design aspect of the anode block plastic 41 and the cathode block plastic 42, the cathode block plastic 42 is required to effectively coat the cathode block 62 as much as possible due to the insulation requirement of the cathode block plastic 42; the structure of the positive electrode block plastic 41 is not required to be excessive because the positive electrode block plastic is conducted with the top cover plate 2, and the structure of the positive electrode block plastic can be the same as that of the negative electrode block plastic 42 for the sake of appearance, and can also be designed to be different from that of the negative electrode block plastic 42.
For laser welding, the material of the negative pole column 52 assembled corresponding to the negative pole block 62 is the same as that of the composite layer two 62b, and is preferably copper; the material of the positive electrode post 51 attached to the positive electrode block 61 is preferably aluminum, in conformity with the positive electrode block 61. The pole holes 60 of the positive pole block 61 and the negative pole block 62 can be rectangular openings matched with the pole bosses 54, and the peripheries of the pole holes can be respectively laser-welded with the pole platforms 55 of the positive pole 51 and the negative pole 52 so as to ensure the effective connection of the cover plate assembly.
Generally speaking, the material of the positive connecting sheet is aluminum, the material of the negative connecting sheet is copper, and the welding method of laser welding requires that the connecting sheet and the correspondingly welded pole and pole block are consistent in material, so that the material of the positive pole 51 is aluminum, and the material of the negative pole 52 is copper correspondingly; the positive electrode block 61 is made of aluminum, and the negative electrode block 62 is made of copper. However, since the density of copper is 3 times that of aluminum, in order to reduce the weight of the negative pole block, the negative pole block 62 can be made of copper and aluminum composite, so that the weight of the negative pole block 62 can be reduced as much as possible even when the welding conditions are satisfied. For example, as shown in fig. 6, the material of the second composite layer 62b is the same copper as the corresponding welded negative electrode pillar 52, and the material of the first composite layer 62a is aluminum.
Reducing the weight of the negative terminal reduces the overall weight of the battery, which is intended to increase the energy density of the battery, and the energy density of the battery is calculated by the following formula: the energy density is the battery capacity/battery weight, so the battery weight is a relatively concerned parameter in the battery design process, and even if the weight is reduced by several grams, the energy density of the battery is obviously improved.
