On the other hand, it can play a protective role to prevent Wear and scratches on the metal casing.
- the protective film cannot fully wrap the end cap assembly, so the end cap patch is usually attached to the end cap assembly, and its function is the same as that of the insulating film. to the role of insulation and protection. Since the end cap assembly is located at the end of the battery cell in the length direction, the end cap assembly is more susceptible to vibration and shock than the shell during battery use. Therefore, the end cap patch attached to the end cap assembly usually has a higher Thicker size, and higher wear resistance.

- the membrane can be folded over and attached to the end cap patch.
- the position reserved for the folded insulation film on the edge of the end cap patch is very small; similarly, for the end cap assembly with a convex structure, usually The width of the periphery of the convex hull of the end cover assembly is also small, which also makes the reserved position for folding the insulating film very small.

It is used to cool the battery cell 20 to ensure the safety of the battery cell 20 .
- the size of the end cover patch 24 along the width direction X of the battery cell is made small, so as not to cover the position of the shoulder 214 of the end cover assembly 21, and at the end
- the second insulating layer 26 is attached to the edge area of the cover patch 24 , and the shoulder 214 is covered by the second insulating layer 26 to ensure the insulating effect of the shoulder 214 . Since the second insulating layer 26 has a thinner thickness than the end cover patch 21 , the cooling effect of the cooling device at the position of the shoulder 214 is enhanced.
- the dotted line position in FIG. 17 indicates the edge position of the end cap patch 24 , and the second insulating layer 26 is attached to the end cap patch 24 to cover the long side 242 and the short side 243 of the end cap patch 24 .
