Abstract
A cap structure of a power battery includes first and second electrode components, a cap plate attached to the first and second electrode components, and a turnable plate connected to the second electrode component. The first electrode component is electrically isolated from the cap plate and includes a first terminal and a first connecting block. The first connecting block is located above the cap plate and includes a terminal connecting portion, a fusing portion, and a turnable plate connecting portion. In case that an internal pressure of the power battery exceeds a reference pressure, the turnable plate is turned over and in contact with the turnable plate connecting portion, such that the first terminal is electrically connected to the second electrode component.
