The plastic pad 1142 can be covered on the manifold 112 through the isolation part 11423. The side of the isolation part 11423 away from the manifold 112 is in contact with the shell. The inner wall of the body 12 is close to each other, that is, the side peripheral wall of the manifold plate 112 is separated from the inner wall of the case 12 through the isolation portion 11423, thereby avoiding direct contact between the manifold plate 112 and the case 12 and improving the voltage resistance of the entire battery 1. Illustratively, manifold 112 is made of aluminum.
示例性的,为了避免隔离部111423与壳体12抵接时应力集中,隔离部11423远离电芯13的端面上设置有倒角,即通过倒角来分散应力以提高塑胶垫11423的使用寿命。示例性的,倒角的角度小于或等于60°。For example, in order to avoid stress concentration when the isolation portion 111423 abuts against the housing 12 , a chamfer is provided on the end surface of the isolation portion 11423 away from the battery core 13 . That is, chamfering is used to disperse stress and increase the service life of the plastic pad 11423 . For example, the chamfer angle is less than or equal to 60°.

For example, in order to improve the protection effect of the manifold plate 112, the depth of the accommodating groove is adapted to the thickness of the manifold plate 112, and the diameter of the accommodating groove is adapted to the diameter of the manifold plate 112, so that the manifold plate 112 can be protected. Except for the other surfaces that are in contact with the battery core 13, all other surfaces can fit into the accommodating groove to prevent the manifold plate 112 from moving in the accommodating groove and causing unnecessary wear.
其中,如图6至图12所示,盖板111上设置有焊接部1111和防爆阀1112,焊接部1111相对于盖板111沿靠近电芯13的方向凸出,防爆阀1112相对于盖板111沿远离电芯13的方向凸出。即通过焊接部1111和电芯13的第二极极耳132焊接,并通过防爆阀1112对电芯13起到防爆功能。此外,由于焊接部1111相对于盖板111沿靠近电芯13的方向凸出,防爆阀1112相对于盖板111沿远离电芯13的方向凸出,即盖板111的顶面与第二极极耳132的底面具有距离h1,防爆阀1112的底面与第二极极耳132的底面具有距离h2,从而可知h2>h1>0,故可以通过h1来吸收电芯13膨胀时产生的作用力,h2和h1之间的高度差能用于收集爆破气体,在保证盖板111和第二极极耳132连接稳定的同时避免电池1因内压过大而自燃、爆炸,提高电池1安全性。Among them, as shown in Figures 6 to 12, the cover plate 111 is provided with a welding portion 1111 and an explosion-proof valve 1112. The welding portion 1111 protrudes relative to the cover plate 111 in a direction close to the battery core 13. The explosion-proof valve 1112 is located relative to the cover plate. 111 protrudes in a direction away from the battery core 13 . That is, the welding part 1111 is welded to the second pole lug 132 of the battery core 13 , and the explosion-proof valve 1112 is used to provide an explosion-proof function to the battery core 13 . In addition, since the welding portion 1111 protrudes in a direction closer to the battery core 13 relative to the cover plate 111 , the explosion-proof valve 1112 protrudes in a direction away from the battery core 13 relative to the cover plate 111 , that is, the top surface of the cover plate 111 is in contact with the second electrode. The bottom surface of the pole tab 132 has a distance h1, and the bottom surface of the explosion-proof valve 1112 and the bottom surface of the second pole tab 132 have a distance h2. It can be seen that h2>h1>0, so the force generated when the battery core 13 expands can be absorbed through h1. , the height difference between h2 and h1 can be used to collect blasting gas, ensuring a stable connection between the cover 111 and the second pole tab 132 while preventing the battery 1 from spontaneous combustion and explosion due to excessive internal pressure, thereby improving the safety of the battery 1 .
