First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A secondary battery head cover assembly, comprising a head cover and an insulation structure, wherein the insulation structure comprises a top connection sheet and two naked battery core insulation sheets, and the two naked battery core insulation sheets are connected to two long sides of the top connection sheet, respectively,
an electrode pole is provided on the head cover, and an electrode pole through hole, through which the electrode pole passes, is provided at a position on the top connection sheet corresponding to the electrode pole, the top connection sheet is located below the head cover and is fixed to the head cover,
wherein, the head cover is further provided with a liquid injection hole, and the top connection sheet is further provided with a liquid injection through hole, and
the liquid injection through hole is provided correspondingly below the liquid injection hole.

2. The secondary battery head cover assembly according to claim 1 , wherein, at least one connecting hole for connecting to the head cover is provided on the top connection sheet, at least one connecting piece is provided on a lower surface of the head cover, and the connecting piece is fitted with and connected to the connecting hole.

3. The secondary battery head cover assembly according to claim 2 , wherein, the connecting piece is a riveting piece or an engaging piece.

4. The secondary battery head cover assembly according to claim 1 , wherein, a lower plastic is provided on the head cover, and the top connection sheet is fixed with the lower plastic by hot melting.

5. The secondary battery head cover assembly according to claim 1 , wherein, the top connection sheet and the two naked battery core insulation sheets are integrated as a whole.

6. The secondary battery head cover assembly according to claim 1 , wherein, the head cover is further provided with at least one of an explosion-proof valve and a reversing sheet, and the top connection sheet is further provided with at least one of an explosion-proof valve air hole and a reversing sheet air hole,
wherein, the explosion-proof valve air hole is provided correspondingly below the explosion-proof valve, and the reversing sheet air hole is provided correspondingly below the reversing sheet.

7. A secondary battery, comprising a naked battery core and the secondary battery head cover assembly according to claim 1 , wherein
the naked battery core is located below the top connection sheet, and the two naked battery core insulation sheets wrap side and bottom surfaces of the naked battery core.

8. The secondary battery according to claim 7 , wherein, the naked battery core insulation sheet comprises:
a main insulation region directly connected with the top connection sheet, a side insulation region formed by extending the main insulation region outward along two lateral sides perpendicular to the long side, and a bottom insulation region formed by extending the main insulation region outward along a side away from the top connection sheet, wherein the bottom insulation region is provided with an electrolyte permeation hole,
the two main insulation regions cover two main side surfaces of the naked battery core, respectively, the side insulation region covers a narrow side surface of the naked battery core, the bottom insulation region covers a bottom surface of the naked battery core, the side insulation regions located on different naked battery core insulation sheets which cover the same side of the naked battery core are connected with each other, and the two bottom insulation regions are also connected with each other.

9. The secondary battery according to claim 8 , further comprising a chassis plate, wherein the chassis plate is fixedly attached to a surface of one of the bottom insulation regions.

10. The secondary battery according to claim 8 , wherein, the two naked battery core insulation sheets have consistent structures.

11. The secondary battery according to claim 8 , wherein, crease lines are provided at a junction between the main insulation region and the side insulation region, and at a junction of a junctional region between the main insulation region and the bottom insulation region.

12. The secondary battery according to claim 8 , wherein:
the side insulation regions located on different naked battery core insulation sheets which cover the same side of the naked battery core are connected with each other by hot melting,
and/or
the two bottom insulation regions are connected with each other by hot melting.

13. A method for assembling the secondary battery according to claim 7 , comprising steps as follows:
