Cover plate assembly, battery cell, battery module, battery pack, and apparatus
View Patent ↗A cover plate assembly, a battery cell, a battery module, a battery pack and an apparatus are disclosed. The cover plate assembly includes a top cover plate, where the top cover plate is provided with an explosion-proof valve; and an insulating plate, laminated with the top cover plate, where the insulating plate includes a base portion and a thinned region located on the base portion, the thinned region is formed by thinning the base portion, and a region enclosed by boundaries of an orthographic projection of the thinned region at least partially overlaps an orthographic projection of the explosion-proof valve in a thickness direction of the cover plate assembly. The thinned region is formed by thinning the base portion.
1. A cover plate assembly for a battery cell, wherein the cover plate assembly comprises:
a top cover plate, wherein the top cover plate is provided with an explosion-proof valve; and
an insulating plate, laminated with the top cover plate, wherein the insulating plate comprises a base portion and a thinned region located in the base portion, the thinned region is formed by thinning the base portion, and in a thickness direction of the cover plate assembly, a region enclosed by boundaries of an orthographic projection of the thinned region at least partially overlaps an orthographic projection of the explosion-proof valve;
wherein the insulating plate comprises two surfaces disposed opposite each other in the thickness direction, and the thinned region comprises a groove formed by at least one of the two surfaces being recessed;
the insulating plate comprises a recess portion, and the recess portion is formed by the base portion being recessed in a direction away from the top cover plate, and is disposed corresponding to the explosion-proof valve in the thickness direction; and
the groove is disposed on the periphery of the recess portion, the thickness of the insulating plate at the thinned region is smaller than the thickness of the insulating plate at the recess portion.
2. The cover plate assembly according to claim 1 , wherein an area of an orthographic projection of the recess portion is greater than or equal to an area of the orthographic projection of the explosion-proof valve in the thickness direction.
3. The cover plate assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the groove is formed by extending around an outer circumference of the recess portion; or
the groove comprises more than two sub-grooves which are spaced apart along an outer circumference of the recess portion.
4. The cover plate assembly according to claim 1 , wherein a shape of the recess portion matches a shape of the explosion-proof valve.
5. The cover plate assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the recess portion comprises a first arc-shaped outer edge; and
the groove is formed by the first arc-shaped outer edge extending along a direction away from the recess portion, a second arc-shaped outer edge is formed on a side of the groove facing away from the recess portion, and the groove is distributed as an arc-shaped strip.
6. A battery cell, comprising:
a housing and an electrode unit located in the housing; and
the cover plate assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the cover plate assembly covers an opening of the housing, and the insulating plate is located on a side of the cover plate facing toward the electrode unit.
7. A battery module, comprising the battery cell according to claim 6 .
8. A battery pack, comprising the battery module according to claim 7 .
9. An apparatus that uses a battery cell as a power source, wherein the battery cell is the battery cell according to claim 8 .
