The minimum size of the laser spot is the diameter of the circle when the laser spot is circular; when the laser light spot is rectangular, the minimum size of the laser light spot is the size of the wide side of the rectangle; when the laser spot is in a special-shaped structure, the minimum size of the laser spot refers to the maximum size of the laser spot in the height direction of the side surface of the insulating member 2 when the side surface of the insulating member 2 can completely accommodate the laser spot.
The polyester film 3 is a film that covers the outside of the battery cell to insulate the battery cell from the outside and protect the battery cell, and is generally referred to as a Mylar film.
The top cover with the structure comprises a top cover main body 1 and an insulating piece 2 connected with the top cover main body 1; wherein, the side of the insulating part 2 provides a welding position for the polyester film 3, and the height of the side of the insulating part 2 is larger than or equal to the minimum size of the laser spot, so that the side of the insulating part 2 can completely accommodate the laser spot. And use laser to weld polyester film 3 on the side of insulating part in succession, so set up can furthest reduce the height of insulating part 2 to reduce the top cap height and the proportion that the top cap accounts for the whole battery, promote the energy density of battery.
