Abstract

Embodiments provide a top cover assembly of a battery, a battery, and an electric apparatus, which can optimize the processing technology of batteries so as to improve the performance of batteries. The top cover assembly of the battery includes a top cover plate ; poles disposed on the top cover plate, each of which includes a first welding zone ; and adapting pieces configured to be electrically connected to the poles, where the adapting piece includes a second welding zone, and the second welding zone is configured to be correspondingly welded to the first welding zone to implement electrical connection; where both the first welding zone and the second welding zone are disposed obliquely with respect to a plane in which the top cover plate is located.

Claims (33)

1 . A top cover assembly of a battery comprising:

a top cover plate;

poles disposed on the top cover plate, wherein the pole comprises a first welding zone; and

adapting pieces configured to be electrically connected to the poles, wherein the adapting piece comprises a second welding zone, and the second welding zone is configured to be correspondingly welded to the first welding zone to implement electrical connection;

wherein both the first welding zone and the second welding zone are disposed obliquely with respect to a plane in which the top cover plate is located.

2 . The top cover assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the pole is of an axisymmetric structure, and the first welding zone and the second welding zone are disposed symmetrically with respect to an axis of the pole.

3 . The top cover assembly according to claim 1 wherein the pole comprises a first protruding portion that protrudes toward the inside of the battery, and the first welding zone is located in at least part of the first protruding portion; and

the adapting piece comprises a second recessed portion that mates with the first protruding portion, and the second welding zone is located in a zone of the second recessed portion that corresponds to the first welding zone.

4 . The top cover assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the pole comprises a first recessed portion that is recessed toward the outside of the battery, and the first welding zone is located in at least part of the first recessed portion; and

the adapting piece comprises a second protruding portion that mates with the first recessed portion, and the second welding zone is located in a zone of the second protruding portion that corresponds to the first welding zone.

5 . The top cover assembly according to claim 3 , wherein the second recessed portion or the second protruding portion is a hollow frustum structure or a hollow taper structure, wherein the hollow frustum structure or the hollow taper structure is symmetrical with respect to the axis of the pole, and the second welding zone is located in at least part of a side surface of the hollow frustum structure or the hollow taper structure.

6 . The top cover assembly according to claim 5 , wherein an axial section of the hollow frustum structure or the hollow taper structure has a base angle of less than 20°.

7 . The top cover assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the adapting piece further comprises a stress relief portion, wherein the stress relief portion is configured to relieve a welding stress applied to the second welding zone.

8 . The top cover assembly according to claim 7 , wherein the stress relief portion is symmetrical with respect to the axis of the pole, and the second welding zone is disposed around the stress relief portion.

9 . The top cover assembly according to claim 7 , wherein the stress relief portion is disposed at center of the second recessed portion or the second protruding portion.

10 . The top cover assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the stress relief portion is a hole.

11 . The top cover assembly according to claim 10 , wherein a ratio of area of the hole to area of the second welding zone is not greater than 4%.

12 . The top cover assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the pole further comprises a position limiting portion configured to cooperate with the stress relief portionso as to limit a position of the adapting piece.

13 . The top cover assembly according to claim 12 , wherein the stress relief portion is a hole, and the position limiting portion is a protruding structure that mates with the hole.

14 . The top cover assembly according to claim 12 , wherein the position limiting portion is disposed at center of the first recessed portion or the first protruding portion.

15 . The top cover assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the adapting piece further comprises a boss structure symmetrical relative to the axis of the pole and protruding toward the outside of the battery, wherein the boss structure is a semi-closed hollow structure, and the second welding zone is located on the boss structure.

16 . The top cover assembly according to claim 15 , wherein the boss structure has an adhesive layer inside.

17 . The top cover assembly according to claim 15 , wherein the boss structure comprises a second recessed portion recessed toward the inside of the boss structure, and the second welding zone is located in the second recessed portion; and

height of the second recessed portion is not greater than height of the boss structure in a direction of the axis of the pole.

18 . A battery comprising a battery cell, and the top cover assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the battery cell comprises tabs, and the tabs are electrically connected to the poles through the adapting pieces.

19 . An electric apparatus, wherein the battery according to claim 18 , is configured to supply electric energy.

20 . A battery preparation method, comprising:

providing a battery cell, wherein the battery cell comprises tabs;

providing a top cover assembly, wherein the top cover assembly comprises:

a top cover plate;

poles disposed on the top cover plate, each of which comprises a first welding zone; and

adapting pieces, each of which comprises a second welding zone and a third welding zone, wherein the second welding zone corresponds to the first welding zone, both the first welding zone and the second welding zone are disposed obliquely with respect to a plane in which the top cover plate is located, and the third welding zone corresponds to the tab; and

welding the second welding zone and the first welding zone together and welding the tab to the third welding zone, so as to electrically connect the pole and the tab.
