Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a vent for a secondary battery top cover, a top cover assembly, a secondary battery and a vehicle. The vent includes a flat base and a protrusion protruding outward with respect to flat base. The protrusion has a main nick and at least one branch nick connected to at least one end of the main nick. An angle formed between the main nick and the branch nick is more than zero. When the pressure inside the case increases excessively, gas causes stress concentration at the protrusion such that the vent is torn along the main nick and the at least one branch nick, thereby releasing the gas in the case, reducing explosion risk of the secondary battery, and improving safety of the secondary battery.
