END CAP, BATTERY CELL, BATTERY AND POWER CONSUMING DEVICE
An end cap includes a cap body, a pressure relief boss, and an insulating member. The cap body has a pressure relief region and an outer surface. In a thickness direction of the cap body, the pressure relief boss is arranged on the outer surface in a protruding manner and surrounds the pressure relief region. The insulating member is attached to the outer surface. In the thickness direction, the pressure relief boss does not extend beyond, in a direction facing away from the outer surface, an end of the insulating member that faces away from the outer surface.
1 . An end cap, comprising:
a cap body having a pressure relief region and an outer surface;
a pressure relief boss surrounding the pressure relief region, wherein in a thickness direction of the cap body, the pressure relief boss is arranged on an outer surface in a protruding manner; and
an insulating member attached to the outer surface;
wherein in the thickness direction, the pressure relief boss does not extend beyond, in a direction facing away from the outer surface, an end of the insulating member that faces away from the outer surface.
2 . The end cap according to claim 1 , wherein the insulating member has a covering portion covering the outer surface, the covering portion has a first surface and a second surface which are arranged opposite each other in the thickness direction, the first surface faces the outer surface, the covering portion is provided with a through hole running through the first surface and the second surface, and the pressure relief boss is accommodated in the through hole.
3 . The end cap according to claim 2 , wherein in the thickness direction, a surface of the pressure relief boss that faces away from the outer surface is closer to the outer surface than the second surface.
4 . The end cap according to claim 2 , further comprising:
a protective member arranged on the pressure relief boss and covering the pressure relief region, the protective member being at least partially located in the through hole.
5 . The end cap according to claim 4 , wherein a surface of the protective member that faces away from the pressure relief boss is flush with the second surface.
6 . The end cap according to claim 4 , wherein an outer side surface of the protective member is spaced from a wall of the through hole.
