Abstract

The present disclosure provides an anti-rotation mechanism for an electrode terminal post of a lithium-ion battery, the anti-rotation mechanism for the electrode terminal post of the lithium-ion battery is an insulative piece, the insulative piece is provided on an electrode terminal post base which is fixedly connected to the electrode terminal post, and the insulative piece is also fixedly connected to an inner wall of a battery case of the lithium-ion battery. The rotation of the electrode terminal post of the lithium-ion battery can be effectively prevented through the insulative piece which is provided on the electrode terminal post base and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the battery case of the lithium-ion battery.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An anti-rotation mechanism for an electrode terminal post of a lithium-ion battery, the anti-rotation mechanism for the electrode terminal post of the lithium-ion battery being insulative pieces, each insulative piece being provided on an electrode terminal post base which is fixedly connected to the electrode terminal post, and each insulative piece also being fixedly connected to an inner wall of a battery case of the lithium-ion battery,
wherein
the insulative pieces are provided on the electrode terminal post base at two opposite side edges of the electrode terminal post base relative to the electrode terminal post, the insulative pieces being spaced apart from each other;
a bottom surface of a battery cap plate is provided with recess portions, a top of each insulative piece is inserted into one recess portion; and
a top surface of the electrode terminal post base is provided with recessed grooves, wherein each recessed groove is recessed downwards from the top surface of the electrode terminal post base, and wherein a bottom of each insulative piece is inserted into one recessed groove of the electrode terminal post base.

2. The anti-rotation mechanism for the electrode terminal post of the lithium-ion battery according to claim 1 , wherein the insulative piece is a heat-resistant and electrolyte-resistant ceramic piece.

3. The anti-rotation mechanism for the electrode terminal post of the lithium-ion battery according to claim 2 , wherein the ceramic piece has a melt point not less than 500° C. and a volume resistivity higher than 10 10 Ω·cm.

4. The anti-rotation mechanism for the electrode terminal post of the lithium-ion battery according to claim 1 , wherein the insulative pieces provided at the two opposite side edges of the electrode terminal post base are symmetrical relative to the electrode terminal post.

5. The anti-rotation mechanism for the electrode terminal post of the lithium-ion battery according to claim 1 , wherein the insulative pieces are provided as four in number for one corresponding electrode terminal post.

6. The anti-rotation mechanism for the electrode terminal post of the lithium-ion battery according to claim 1 , wherein each recessed groove is provided at the corresponding side edge of the electrode terminal post base, and wherein when the bottom of each insulative piece is inserted into the recessed groove, each insulative piece is partially beyond the corresponding side edge.
