Abstract

La présente invention concerne un ensemble couvercle de batterie, une batterie unicellulaire, un module de batterie, un bloc-batterie d'alimentation et un véhicule électrique. L'ensemble couvercle de batterie comprend une première languette de collecteur de courant, une seconde languette de collecteur de courant, et un sac scellé rempli d'un milieu de production de gaz et positionné sur un côté interne d'un couvercle. Le sac scellé est pourvu d'une première pièce polaire et d'une seconde pièce polaire respectivement en contact avec le milieu de production de gaz. La première pièce polaire est électriquement connectée à la première languette de collecteur de courant. La seconde pièce polaire est électriquement connectée à la seconde languette de collecteur de courant. Lorsqu'une différence de tension entre les première et seconde pièces polaires dépasse une valeur nominale, le milieu de production de gaz produit un gaz. La pression du gaz provoque la rupture du sac scellé, de telle sorte que le gaz fuit du sac scellé et s'écoule vers une structure d'interruption de courant pour interrompre une connexion électrique entre une borne interne d'électrode et une borne externe d'électrode. Dans la présente invention, la production d'un gaz dans un sac scellé d'un ensemble couvercle est indépendante de la production de gaz à l'intérieur d'une batterie, de telle sorte qu'une pression de gaz peut être établie en temps opportun pour la structure d'interruption de courant, ce qui permet d'activer en temps opportun la structure d'interruption de courant, et d'améliorer ainsi la sécurité de la batterie.
