技术领域
本申请涉及电池技术领域,具体涉及一种电芯顶盖、电芯、电池、用电设备以及注液嘴。
背景技术
随着社会的发展进步,锂电池作为新能源迅速进入人们的视野,被广泛应用于各领域。
锂电池的制备过程中包括注液工序,即利用注液装置将电解液通过电芯顶盖上的注液孔注入电芯内部,但是,注液后注液孔经常会有电解液残留,残留电解液影响电芯质量。
技术问题
本申请实施例的目的在于:提供一种电芯顶盖、电芯、电池、用电设备以及注液嘴,能够有效解决现有技术中注液后注液孔经常会有电解液残留,影响电芯质量的问题。
技术解决方案
本申请实施例采用的技术方案是:
第一方面,本申请提供了一种电芯顶盖,包括顶盖本体,顶盖本体上设有注液孔;注液孔包括沿顶盖本体厚度方向依次设置且相连通的第一孔段、第二孔段以及第三孔段,第一孔段相对第二孔段靠近电芯内;第二孔段远离第一孔段的一端与第三孔段之间形成台阶面,台阶面为第一压合面;其中,第一压合面用于与第二压合面抵接,注液孔用于与注液通道连通,以通过具有第二压合面和注液通道的注液嘴插入注液孔向电芯注液。
本申请实施例的技术方案中,通过在顶盖本体上贯穿其厚度方向设置包括第一孔段、第二孔段以及第三孔段的注液孔,使得注液嘴能够插入注液孔向电芯内注液,进而起到直接地引流作用,有效防止注液过程中电解液流入电芯内时发生泄漏现象;同时,本申请实施例的技术方案中,在第二孔段和第三孔段之间设置第一压合面使得电芯顶盖和注液嘴配合时,第一压合面能够和注液嘴的第二压合面在注液方向也就是垂直电芯顶盖的方向上进行紧密抵触,实现接触面积较大的面面抵触的面密封,避免在注液过程中出现密封失效的现象,实现有效可靠的面密封效果,防止注液过程电解液泄露,解决电解液污染的问题;并且面面接触密封有效减小摩擦力,使电芯顶盖的使用寿命有效延长,降低生产及维护的成本。
在一些实施例中,第二孔段的内壁为锥状内壁,锥状内壁用于包覆锥状部的外壁,以通过具有锥状部的注液嘴向电芯注液。
通过将第二孔段的内壁设置为锥状内壁使得注液嘴插入注液孔时,第二孔段的内壁也能够与注液嘴的锥状部配合实现斜面的配合密封,并且第二孔段还能够对注液嘴的插入起到导向且提高介入精度的作用。
在一些实施例中,第一压合面为水平表面;或者,第一压合面设有凹陷区域。
通过将第一压合面设置为水平表面使得注液嘴的第二压合面与第一压合面压合时定位精度要求较低,能够较为简便且高效的实现面面密封效果;保证第三孔段的外侧不会被电解液污染,避免注液孔后续与密封钉进行焊接时出现爆点。同时水平表面能够有效增大与第二压合面的接触面积,利用在垂直该表面方向上的压紧力实现面面密封。通过在第一压合面设置凹陷区域,注液嘴的第二压合面相应地设置与第一压合面的凹陷区域配合的凸起区域,可实现第一压合面和第二压合面之间的定位和密封压合。
在一些实施例中,第一压合面沿第一方向的投影面积为第一面积;其中,第一面积大于第一压合面与第二压合面抵接时第一压合面与第二压合面接触的面积;第一方向为顶盖本体的厚度方向。
通过将第一压合面沿第一方向的投影面积设置为大于其与第二压合面接触时的接触面积,从而使得第一压合面延长了电解液的外溢路径,即使有电解液泄露,也不会流至第三孔段以及其外侧,避免影响后续与密封钉的焊接。
在一些实施例中,第一孔段的直径为第一直径;其中,第一直径大于注液通道的直径。
第一孔段为最靠近电芯内部的部分,将第一孔段的直径设置为大于注液嘴上注液通道的直径,进而能够保证注液嘴插入注液孔时第一孔段能够完全容纳注液通道,以保证注液嘴由注液通道注出的电解液能够全部进入注液孔的第一孔段,既能够对电解液起到足够的导向引流作用又能够在一定程度上防止电解液外溢。
在一些实施例中,第三孔段的内壁为锥状内壁;或者第三孔段的内壁为筒状内壁。
第三孔段的内壁可以设置为锥状内壁或筒状内壁以实现与密封钉的配合即可。
第二方面,本申请提供了一种电芯,包括前述的电芯顶盖。
第三方面,本申请提供了一种电池,包括前述的电芯。
第四方面,本申请提供了一种用电设备,包括前述的电池。
在一些实施例中,用电设备为手机、平板、笔记本电脑、电动玩具、电动工具、电瓶车、新能源汽车、轮船、航天器中的一种。
采用本申请实施例提供的电池的用电设备其电池具有更好的性能,改善了残留电解液影响电池质量的问题。
第五方面,本申请提供了一种注液嘴,包括基体,基体的一端设有凸部,基体沿其轴向设有贯穿基体和凸部的注液通道;凸部所在的基体的端面形成第二压合面;其中,第二压合面用于与第一压合面抵接,注液通道用于与注液孔连通,以使注液嘴插入具有注液孔和第一压合面的电芯顶盖向电芯注液。
本申请实施例的技术方案中,通过在注液嘴的一端设置凸部,使得注液嘴插入注液孔时凸部能够优先插入,进而起到直接地引流作用,有效防止注液过程中电解液流入电芯内时发生泄漏现象;同时,本申请实施例的技术方案中,凸部所在的基体的端部上除了凸部的区域形成第二压合面,使得注液嘴和电芯顶盖配合时,注液嘴受外力下压时,第二压合面能够紧密抵触在电芯顶盖的第一压合面上,实现接触面积较大的面面抵触的面密封,避免在注液过程中出现密封失效的现象,实现有效可靠的面密封效果,防止注液过程中电解液泄露,解决电解液污染的问题;并且面面接触密封有效减小摩擦力,使注液嘴的使用寿命有效延长,降低生产及维护的成本。
在一些实施例中,凸部为锥状部,锥状部的外壁用于被第二孔段的锥状内壁包覆,以使注液嘴插入注液孔时,锥状部插入具有第二孔段的注液孔;
或者,凸部为圆柱状。
通过将凸部设置为锥状部,使得凸部向电芯顶盖的注液孔插入时,凸部能够准确插入至注液孔的第二孔段内被第二孔段包覆,对注液嘴的插入起到导向且提高介入精度的作用。通过将凸部设置为圆柱状,注液孔的第二孔段相应地也为圆柱状,可实现注液通道圆周方向的包覆密封以及注液嘴的插入导向。
在一些实施例中,第二压合面为水平表面;或者第二压合面为朝向凸部突出的弧状面。
本实施例中为配合第一压合面形成面面密封可以将第二压合面设置为水平表面或朝向凸部即朝向注液孔的弧状面,以增强接触面的多样化设计,进而增强其实现性、通用性以及适用范围;当第二压合面为水平面时则能够轻易实现与第一压合面的面面压合密封,在垂直第一压合面的方向上形成严密的压合,有效应解决在注液过程中出现密封失效的现象,从而防止电解液泄露;当第二压合面为突出弧状面时,当注液嘴受外力压向注液孔时,弧状面也能够压缩形成平面与第一压合面相贴合,同样能够起到防止密封失效的作用。
在一些实施例中,第二压合面包括水平表面,且水平表面上设有朝向凸部突出且连续的凸起。
本实施例中第二压合面不仅仅可以设置成单纯的水平面或弧状面,还可以在水平面上设置朝向凸部即朝向注液孔的凸起,凸起绕基体的轴向连续设置,以使得在注液嘴受外力压向注液孔时,凸起与第一压合面之间能够通过较大的压力进行密封并阻拦电解液的泄露,同时凸起在被压时也会压缩使得其所在的水平表面尽可能的与第一压合面进行贴合实现面面密封。
在一些实施例中,水平表面设有同心环凸起。
通过在第二压合面上设置多个间隔且同心的圆环形成的同心环凸起,可对电解液实现多道密封,这样即使电解液有些许泄露,相邻的凸起之间的空间也能够起到容纳及阻拦电解液继续外溢的作用,使得电解液不会溢出至第三孔段的外台阶处,进而保证了密封钉对注液孔的最终密封效果。
在一些实施例中,第二压合面沿第二方向的投影面积为第二面积;第二面积小于第二压合面与第一压合面抵接时第一压合面的面积;第二方向为基体的轴向。
将第二压合面沿第二方向的投影面积设置为小于与其接触时第一压合面的面积,防止电解液泄露时流至注液孔的第三孔段处污染注液孔外围,影响后续与密封钉的焊接。
在一些实施例中,基体与凸部为一体成型的弹性结构。
通过一体成型使得基体与凸部之间的密封程度可靠,避免出现不必要的泄漏点。

本发明人注意到,对电芯进行电解液的注入多采用通过注液装置配合电芯上的注液孔向电芯内部注液,注液后通过密封钉将注液孔密封的方式,注液完成后注液口经常有残留电解液,影响电芯的质量;经过长期的研究发现电解液的残留是由于注液装置的注液嘴与注液孔间的气密性不良导致的,其无法满足注液过程中的密封要求。
为了解决现有技术中无法保证注液嘴与注液孔之间的有效密封,极易造成注液过程中电解液的泄露,产生电解液污染,影响电池性能的问题,申请人研究发现,可以通过在电芯顶盖1的注液孔2中设置第一压合面24,在注液嘴3上与注液孔2配合的端面上设置第二压合面31,使得注液嘴3配合注液孔2向电芯内注液时,第一压合面24和第二压合面31能够紧密抵触,进而通过面与面的抵触贴合以增大密封面积,避免电解液泄露甚至溢出至注液孔外部污染注液孔,影响密封钉的最终密封。
基于以上考虑,为了解决现有技术中无法保证注液嘴与注液孔之间的有效密封,极易造成注液过程中电解液的泄露,产生电解液污染,影响电池性能的问题,发明人经过深入研究,参考附图8,设计了一种电芯顶盖1和与其相互配合的注液嘴3,电芯顶盖2包括顶盖本体11,顶盖本体11上设有注液孔2;注液孔2包括沿顶盖本体11厚度方向依次设置且相连通的第一孔段21、第二孔段22以及第三孔段23,第一孔段21相对第二孔段22靠近电芯内;第二孔段22远离第一孔段21的一端与第三孔段23之间形成台阶面,台阶面为第一压合面24;其中,第一压合面24用于与第二压合面31抵接,注液孔2用于与注液通道32连通,以通过具有第二压合面31和注液通道32的注液嘴3插入注液孔2向电芯20注液。注液嘴3包括基体33,基体33的一端设有凸部34,基体33沿其轴向设有贯穿基体33和凸部34的注液通道32;凸部34所在的基体33的端面形成第二压合面31;其中,第二压合面31用于与第一压合面24抵接,注液通道32用于与注液孔2连通,以使注液嘴3插入具有注液孔2和第一压合面24的电芯顶盖1向电芯20注液。
在这样的电芯顶盖1和注液嘴3中,通过在注液嘴3上凸部34和电芯顶盖1上注液孔2的配合,使得注液嘴3插入注液孔2时凸部34能够优先插入,进而起到直接地引流作用,有效防止注液过程中电解液流入电芯20内时发生泄漏现象;同时,注液嘴3上凸部34所在的基体33的端部形成第二压合面31与注液孔2内第一压合面21配合,使得注液嘴3受外力下压时,第二压合面31能够紧密抵触在电芯顶盖1的第一压合面21上,实现接触面积较大的面面抵触的面密封,避免在注液过程中出现密封失效的现象,实现有效可靠的面密封效果,防止注液过程电解液泄露,解决电解液污染的问题;并且面面接触密封有效减小摩擦力,使注液嘴的使用寿命有效延长,降低生产及维护的成本。

根据本申请的一些实施例,参照附图4、附图5、附图6以及附图7,本申请提供了一种电芯顶盖1,其包括顶盖本体11,顶盖本体11上设有注液孔2;注液孔2包括沿顶盖本体11厚度方向依次设置且相连通的第一孔段21、第二孔段22以及第三孔段23,第一孔段21相对第二孔段22靠近电芯内;第二孔段22远离第一孔段21的一端与第三孔段23之间形成台阶面,台阶面为第一压合面24;其中,第一压合面24用于与第二压合面31抵接,注液孔2用于与注液通32道连通,以通过具有第二压合面31和注液通道32的注液嘴3插入注液孔2向电芯20注液。
其中,顶盖本体11为主要封盖于壳体202的开口处以将电芯20的内部环境隔绝于外部环境的主要部件。顶盖本体11的形状可以与壳体202的形状相适应以配合壳体202。顶盖本体11可以由具有一定硬度和强度的材质(如铝合金)制成,这样,电芯顶盖11在受挤压碰撞时就不易发生形变,使电芯20能够具备更高的结构强度,安全性能也可以有所提高。顶盖本体11上还可以设置有如电极端子、泄压机构等的功能性部件。
其中,注液孔2为贯穿顶盖本体11厚度方向的通孔,注液嘴3向电芯20内注液时则插入注液孔2,注液孔2包括依次连通的第一孔段21、第二孔段22以及第三孔段23,其中,第一孔段21更加的靠近电芯20的内部,以用于过渡电解液将电解液导入电芯20的内部;第二孔段22用于配合注液嘴3的凸部34进行贴合密封;第三孔段23用于与密封钉配合进行注液后的最终密封。第一孔段21与第二孔段22直接连通,第二孔段22与第三孔段23之间非直接连通,而是在第二孔段22朝向第三孔段23的一端形成台阶面后连接至第三孔段23,则至少第三孔段23与其他两个孔段的孔径不同。台阶面为第一压合面24,用于在向电芯20内注入电解液时配合注液嘴3进行密封压合;本实施例中第一压合面24可以为水平表面或非水平表面,例如:在水平表面上设置凹陷区域,只要能够与注液嘴3的第二压合面31配合实现第一压合面24上的面面压合密封即可,例如:当第一压合面24为水平表面时,第二压合面31可以为水平表面或具有朝向第一压合面24的凸起的形式;当第一压合面24上设有凹陷区域时,第二压合面31上设有对应的凸起区域,在压合时保证凸起区域和凹陷区域能够刚好对应压合,凹陷区域和凸起区域的配合,可实现第一压合面24和第二压合面31之间的定位和密封压合。
通过在顶盖本体11上贯穿其厚度方向设置包括第一孔段21、第二孔段22以及第三孔段23的注液孔2,使得注液嘴3能够插入注液孔2向电芯内注液,此时电解液经由第一孔段21进入电芯20,进而起到直接地引流作用,有效防止注液过程中电解液流入电芯内时发生泄漏现象;同时,本申请实施例的技术方案中,在第二孔段22和第三孔段23之间设置第一压合面24使得电芯顶盖1和注液嘴3配合时,第一压合面24能够和注液嘴3的第二压合面31在注液方向也就是垂直电芯顶盖1的方向上进行紧密抵触,实现接触面积较大的面面抵触的面密封,避免在注液过程中出现密封失效的现象,实现有效可靠的面密封效果,防止注液过程电解液泄露,解决电解液污染的问题;并且面面接触密封有效减小摩擦力,使电芯顶盖的使用寿命有效延长,降低生产及维护的成本。
根据本申请的一些实施例,可选地,参考附图4、附图5、附图6以及附图7,第二孔段22的内壁为锥状内壁,锥状内壁用于包覆锥状部的外壁,以通过具有锥状部的注液嘴3向电芯20注液。
通过将第二孔段22的内壁设置为锥状内壁使得注液嘴3插入注液孔时,第二孔段22的内壁也能够与注液嘴3的锥状部配合实现斜面的配合密封,并且第二孔段22还能够对注液嘴3的插入起到导向且提高介入精度的作用。
根据本申请的一些实施例,可选地,参考附图4、附图5、附图6以及附图7,第一压合面24为水平表面。
本实施例中将第一压合面24设置为水平表面,使得注液嘴3的第二压合面31与第一压合面24抵接时定位精度要求较低,能够较为简便且高效的实现面面密封效果;保证第三孔段23的外侧即外台阶不会被电解液污染,避免影响注液孔2后续与密封钉的焊接;同时水平表面能够有效增大与第二压合面31的接触面积,利用在垂直该表面方向上的压紧力实现面面密封。
根据本申请的一些实施例,可选地,参考附图4、附图5、附图6以及附图7,第一压合面24沿第一方向a的投影面积为第一面积;其中,第一面积大于第一压合面24与第二压合面31抵接时第一压合面24与第二压合面31接触的面积;第一方向a为顶盖本体11的厚度方向。
通过将第一压合面24沿第一方向a的投影面积设置为大于其与第二压合面31接触时的接触面积,从而使得第一压合面24延长了第二孔段22孔壁与第三孔段23孔壁之间沿着注液孔2径向方向上的距离,即参考附图4至附图7,第一压合面24在图中左右方向的尺寸大于第二压合面31在图中左右方向的尺寸或者说第一压合面24的宽度大于第二压合面31的宽度,从而延长了电解液由第一孔段21向外的外溢路径,即使有电解液泄露,也不会流至第一压合面24与第三孔段23的接壤处、第三孔段23以及其外侧即外台阶处,避免影响后续与密封钉的焊接。
根据本申请的一些实施例,可选地,参考附图4、附图5、附图6以及附图7,第一孔段21的直径为第一直径;其中,第一直径大于注液通道32的直径。
第一孔段21为最靠近电芯内部的部分,将第一孔段21的直径设置为大于注液嘴3上注液通道32的直径,进而能够保证注液嘴3插入注液孔2时第一孔段21沿第一方向a的投影能够完全容纳或者说覆盖注液通道32沿第一方向a的投影,进而电解液在经由第一孔段21流入电芯20的内部时,电解液在第一孔段21内的流速大于在注液通道32内的流速,以保证注液嘴3由注液通道32注出的电解液能够全部进入注液孔2的第一孔段21,既能够对电解液起到足够的导向引流作用又能够在一定程度上防止电解液外溢。
根据本申请的一些实施例,可选地,参考附图4至附图7,第三孔段23的内壁为锥状内壁;或者第三孔段23的内壁为筒状内壁。
通过将第三孔段23的内壁设置为锥状内壁实现与常规密封钉的配合,当然,对于第三孔段23来说,其内壁形状只要能够与密封钉配合进行密封连接即可,进而本实施例中还可以将第三孔段23的内壁设置为筒状,例如:圆筒、方形筒等等,可以根据实际需要进行设置,能够实现与密封钉的配合即可。

根据本申请的一些实施例,参照附图4至附图7,本申请提供了一种注液嘴3,其包括基体33,基体33的一端设有凸部34,基体33沿其轴向设有贯穿基体33和凸部34的注液通道32;凸部34所在的基体33的端面形成第二压合面31;其中,第二压合面31用于与第一压合面24抵接,注液通道32用于与注液孔2连通,以使注液嘴3插入具有注液孔2和第一压合面24的电芯顶盖1向电芯20注液。
其中,基体33为主要与注液孔2配合的注液结构,基体33可以是刚性的也可以是具有一定弹性的,只要能够插入注液孔2与其配合即可。基体33的形状和尺寸在此不做过多限定,只要能够与注液装置实现连接且连通将电解液由注液装置导入电芯20即可。
其中,凸部34为突出于基体3一端端面的结构,凸部34与注液孔2的第二孔段22配合进行注液通道32圆周方向的包覆密封以及注液嘴的插入导向;凸部34的形状和尺寸在此不做过多赘述,只要凸部34与第二孔段22相适配即可,例如:锥状部、圆柱等。并且凸部34并非占据其所在基体33的端面的全部面积,进而在未被凸部34覆盖的端面上形成第二压合面31,利用第二压合面31与注液孔2的第一压合面24相互抵接以增大接触面积并实现面面密封。
通过在注液嘴3的一端设置凸部34,使得注液嘴3插入注液孔2时凸部34能够优先插入,进而起到直接地引流作用,有效防止注液过程中电解液流入电芯内时发生泄漏现象;同时,本申请实施例的技术方案中,凸部34所在的基体33的端部上在除了凸部34的区域形成第二压合面31,使得注液嘴3和电芯顶盖1配合时,注液嘴3受外力下压时,第二压合面31能够紧密抵触在电芯顶盖1的第一压合面24上,实现接触面积较大的面面抵触的面密封,避免在注液过程中出现密封失效的现象,实现有效可靠的面密封效果,防止注液过程电解液泄露,解决电解液污染的问题;并且面面密封有效减小摩擦力,使注液嘴3的使用寿命有效延长,降低生产及维护的成本。
根据本申请的一些实施例,可选地,参照附图4至附图7,凸部34为锥状部,锥状部的外壁用于被第二孔段22的锥状内壁包覆,以使注液嘴3插入注液孔2时,锥状部插入具有第二孔段22的注液孔2。
通过将凸部34设置为锥状部,使得凸部34向电芯顶盖1的注液孔2插入时,凸部34能够准确插入至注液孔2的第二孔段22内被第二孔段22包覆,并且锥状部的下端尺寸较小能够将注液通道32准确的连通于注液孔2,对注液嘴3的插入起到导向且提高介入精度的作用。
根据本申请的一些实施例,可选地,参照附图5和附图6,第二压合面31为水平表面;或者第二压合面31为朝向凸部34突出的弧状面。
通过将第二压合面31设置成水平表面或弧状表面来配合第一压合面24,不仅能够实现面面密封,还能够增强接触面的多样化设计,进而增强其实现性、通用性以及适用范围;具体的,当第二压合面31为水平面时,则第一压合面24和第二压合面31的接触面积全部为有效面积,增大接触面积的前提下能够轻易实现与第一压合面24的面面压合密封,在垂直第一压合面24的方向上形成严密的压合,有效应解决在注液过程中出现密封失效的现象,从而防止电解液泄露;当第二压合面31为突出的弧状面时,当注液嘴3受外力压向注液孔2时,弧状面也能够压缩形成平面与第一压合面24相贴合,在靠近注液通道32的部分受到的压力越大,能够阻拦电解液的外溢,弧状面对应的压强呈梯度分布,由注液通道32向外逐渐减小,同样能够起到防止密封失效的作用。需要说明的是:弧状面可以为1/8圆弧面。
根据本申请的一些实施例,可选地,参照附图7,第二压合面31包括水平表面,且水平表面上设有朝向凸部34突出且连续的凸起35。
本实施例中第二压合面31不仅仅可以设置成单纯的水平面或弧状面,还可以在水平面上设置朝向凸部34即朝向注液孔2的凸起35,凸起35绕基体33的轴向连续设置,以使得在注液嘴3受外力压向注液孔2时,凸起35与第一压合面24之间能够通过较大的压力进行密封并阻拦电解液的泄露,同时凸起35在被压时也会压缩使得其所在的水平表面尽可能的与第一压合面24进行贴合实现面面密封。当然,凸起35也可以是在水平表面上设置的多个间隔且同心的圆环形成的同心环凸起,以实现多道密封,这样的设置下,即使电解液有些许的泄露,相邻凸起35之间的空间也能够起到容纳及阻拦电解液继续外溢的作用,保证电解液不会溢出至第三孔段23的外台阶处,进而保证了密封钉的最终密封。
根据本申请的一些实施例,可选地,参照附图4至附图7,第二压合面31沿第二方向b的投影面积为第二面积;第二面积小于第二压合面31与第一压合面24抵接时第一压合面24的面积;第二方向b为基体33的轴向。
通过将第二压合面31沿第二方向b的投影面积设置为小于与其接触时第一压合面24的面积,从而使得第一压合面24延长了第二孔段22孔壁与第三孔段23孔壁之间沿着注液孔2径向方向上的距离,即参考附图4至附图7,第一压合面24在图中左右方向的尺寸大于第二压合面31在图中左右方向的尺寸或者说第一压合面24的宽度大于第二压合面31的宽度,从而延长了电解液由第一孔段21向外的外溢路径,即使有电解液泄露,也不会流至第一压合面24与第三孔段23的接壤处、第三孔段23以及其外侧即外台阶处,从而防止电解液泄露时流至注液孔2的第三孔段23处污染注液孔2外围,影响后续与密封钉的焊接。
根据本申请的一些实施例,可选地,基体33与凸部34为一体成型的弹性结构。
本实施例中可以将基体33与凸部34设置为一体成型的弹性结构,例如:橡胶材料;通过一体成型使得基体33与凸部34之间的强度可靠、密封程度可靠,在注液嘴3的基体33与电芯顶盖1的注液孔2配合注液过程影响较小,避免出现不必要的泄漏点。
根据一些实施例,参考附图4至附图8,本申请提供了一种电芯顶盖1以及与其相配合使用的注液嘴3;电芯顶盖2包括顶盖本体11,顶盖本体11上设有注液孔2;注液孔2包括沿顶盖本体11厚度方向依次设置且相连通的第一孔段21、第二孔段22以及第三孔段23,第一孔段21相对第二孔段22靠近电芯内;第二孔段22远离第一孔段21的一端与第三孔段23之间形成台阶面即第一压合面24,第二孔段22的内壁为锥状内壁。注液嘴3包括基体33,基体33的一端设有锥状的凸部34,基体33沿其轴向设有贯穿基体33和凸部34的注液通道32;凸部34所在的基体33的端面形成第二压合面31;其中,当锥状凸部34插入锥状第二孔段22时,注液通道32与注液孔2的第一孔段21相连通,第二孔段22包覆凸部34外壁,第二压合面31与第一压合面24紧密抵接,注液嘴3能够通过具有注液孔2和第一压合面24的电芯顶盖1向电芯20注液。
