Abstract: ABSTRACT TOP COVER ASSEMBLY, BATTERY AND ELECTRICITY-CONSUMING APPARATUS This disclosure provides a top cover assembly, a battery, and an electricity-consuming apparatus. The top cover assembly includes a top cover, a lower plastic member, and a support structure. The top cover is provided with an explosion-proof hole penetrating the top cover in the thickness direction of the top cover for connecting to an explosion-proof valve. The lower plastic member is connected to the top cover. The support structure abuts against the lower plastic member and supports the top cover. A projection of the support structure onto the top cover in the thickness direction of the top cover assembly is spaced apart from the explosion-proof hole. The technical solution of this disclosure can inhibit the phenomenon of battery cell ignition caused by excessive proximity between the battery cell and the top cover during thermal runaway of the battery cell.
