  • Patent number: 11456512
    Abstract: A battery cover plate assembly includes a cover plate, an electrode terminal, a current interrupt structure, and an arc extinguishing portion. The electrode terminal is disposed on the cover plate and includes an electrode inner terminal and an electrode outer terminal. The electrode inner terminal and the electrode outer terminal are electrically connected through the current interrupt structure. The current interrupt structure is capable of disrupting the electrical connection between the electrode inner terminal and the electrode outer terminal under the action of a gas pressure. The arc extinguishing portion is configured to reduce an electric arc generated when the current interrupt structure disrupts the electrical connection between the electrode inner terminal and the electrode outer terminal.

  • Publication number: 20200136111
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a composite explosion-proof valve mounted on a battery cover plate assembly, a cover plate assembly containing the explosion-proof valve, and a battery. The composite explosion-proof valve includes at least two layers of explosion-proof membranes and a flame-retardant structure located between the at least two layers of explosion-proof membranes. When the battery (such as internal temperature or internal pressure) is abnormal, the first layer of explosion-proof membrane is opened. Under the action of the flame-retardant structure, the composite explosion-proof valve is in a local oxygen-deficient state, and it is difficult for a high-temperature combustible matter ejected from the battery to ignite under the local oxygen-deficient condition.
