Detailed Description

The present invention will be described in further detail by way of examples with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

Example 1

Referring to fig. 1 to 18, the cover plate structure of the power battery with high sealing performance of the present embodiment includes a top cover plate 1, an insulating base 2, a pole 3, a connector 4, and a sealing ring 5.

The top cover plate 1 in this embodiment includes a body 11 made of a metal material, the body 11 is sheet-shaped, a hole 111 is provided on the body 11, and the hole 11 does not penetrate through the body 11 in the thickness direction of the body 11. The hole 111 has an open end 1111 and a tip 1112 in an axial direction thereof, the tip 1112 constitutes a bottom of the hole 111, and the tip 1112 of the hole 111 has a diameter larger than that of the open end 1111. The body in this embodiment may be made of aluminum or aluminum alloy.

The insulating base 2 in this embodiment is provided with a positioning column 21, and the positioning column 21 is embedded in the hole 111. Furthermore, the positioning post 21 is embedded into the hole 111 by hot melting and is combined with the inner wall of the hole 111. Since the diameter of the end 1112 of the hole 111 is larger than the diameter of the opening 1111, the positioning post 21 is prevented from coming out of the hole 111, and the connection is more reliable. In some embodiments, the positioning post 21 may also be directly embedded into the hole 111 by its material property, for example, the positioning post 21 is made of an elastic material or a flexible material, such as plastic, silicone, rubber, and the like.

In this embodiment, after the positioning column 21 is thermally melted and embedded into the hole 111, the shape of the positioning column 21 is matched with the shape of the hole 111. Furthermore, the positioning column 21 fills the hole 111 to enhance the bonding strength between the two.

In this embodiment, the body 11 is provided with a ring-shaped wall 112, and an inner edge of the wall 112 forms an inner wall of the opening end 1111. The positioning post 21 of the insulating base 2 in this embodiment can be bonded to the inner wall of the hole 111 and at least a part of the outer surface (the top surface or the outer wall) of the wall 112 after being melted by heat, so as to increase the bonding area between the positioning post 112 and the main body 11 and enhance the bonding strength. In this embodiment, the positioning column 21 is thermally fused (by using the ultrasonic welding principle) by thermal fusion welding in the prior art.

The wall portion 112 in this embodiment is formed by turning an inner contour line a and an outer contour line b 360 degrees to form inner and outer contours of the wall portion 112, and the absolute value of the slope of the inner contour line a is larger than the absolute value of the slope of the outer contour line b, so that the thickness of the wall portion 112 in the thickness direction of the body 11 can be changed. The inner contour line a here may be a line connecting a top point and a bottom point of the inner side of the wall portion 112. The outer contour line b may be the connection of the apex and the base of the outer side of the wall portion 112.

Further, the thickness of the wall portion 112 gradually decreases in the direction from the end 1112 to the open end 1111. To make the wall portion 112 easier to form.

The height dimension of the wall portion 112 in the thickness direction of the body 11 in this embodiment is at least 25% of the depth dimension of the hole 111. Further, the height dimension of the wall portion 112 in the thickness direction of the body 11 is at least 30% of the depth dimension of the hole 111. In the process of forming the wall portion 112, the larger the height ratio of the wall portion, the larger the variation range of the inner surface of the hole 111 can be, so that the pulling force required for releasing the positioning column 21 from the hole 111 is larger. In this embodiment, when a force greater than 80N is applied, it is ensured that the insulating base 2 does not separate from the top cover plate 1.

The top surface 112a of the wall portion 112 in this embodiment is positioned lower than the surface of the body 11 in the thickness direction of the sheet 11. At least a portion of the positioning post 21 after heat fusion can be combined with the top surface 112a of the wall portion 112. In addition, after the positioning post 21 is melted, the melted material can be prevented from flowing between the body 11 and the insulating base 2, so that the body 11 and the insulating base 2 locally bulge relatively or have a gap.

The body 11 in this embodiment is provided with an annular groove 113, and the groove 113 is adjacent to the wall 112 and is located outside the wall 112. The groove 113 can further absorb the material flowing out after the positioning post 21 is melted, so as to prevent the material from being accumulated and a gap exists between the insulating base 2 and the body 11. The groove 113, the top surface of the wall 112 and the surface of the insulating base 2 in this embodiment form an accommodating cavity for accommodating the excess material of the positioning column 21. In some embodiments, at least a portion of the thermally melted material of the positioning post 21 flows into the groove 113 and bonds with the inner wall of the groove 113 to improve the bonding strength.

The groove 113 in this embodiment includes a first surface 1131 and a second surface 1132, wherein the first surface 1131 forms an outer contour of the wall 112, and the second surface 1132 forms an obtuse angle with a surface of the body 11.
