Provided are a top cover assembly and a secondary battery containing the same. The top cover assembly includes a cover plate, and a first terminal assembly; the top cover plate includes a main body and a protrusion connected to the main body, the protrusion protrudes beyond an upper surface of the main body, an accommodation chamber is defined below the protrusion, the protrusion faces the accommodation chamber, the first terminal assembly includes a deformable plate, and the deformable plate is connected to the top cover plate and covers the accommodation chamber. Such solution can sufficiently utilize the space between the upper surface of the top cover plate and the upper surface of the second terminal assembly, improve the space utilization of the secondary battery, improve the deformation resistance of the top cover plate and the strength of the top cover plate, and keep the secondary battery safe.

Top cover assembly of secondary battery and secondary battery

This application provides a secondary battery including an electrode assembly, a first terminal, a second terminal, a top cover plate and a contacting plate attached to the first terminal, the electrode assembly includes a first electrode, a second electrode and a separator between the first electrode and the second electrode, the first terminal is electrically connected with the first electrode, the second terminal is electrically connected with the second electrode, the top cover plate is insulated from the first terminal and is electrically connected with the second terminal, when internal pressure of the secondary battery exceeds reference pressure, the contacting plate deforms under the internal pressure and contacts the top cover plate, so as to form an electrical connecting path through the first electrode, the first terminal, the contacting plate, the top cover plate, the second terminal and the second electrode.
