摘要:
A battery power source device including a plurality of rechargeable batteries (1) having a laminated sheet as an outer case, and having extended positive and negative electrode leads of a metal foil is provided. A circuit board (3) and a plurality of rechargeable batteries are positioned in a pack case (2), a soldering land (21) is formed in the extending direction of the positive and negative electrode leads (11) and (12) of the rechargeable batteries, and a circuit pattern formed on the circuit board allows the circuit board and the rechargeable batteries to be connected without applying force in the bending or distortional direction to the positive and negative electrode leads of a foil.
摘要:
A battery pack that reduces thickness and lightens weight as required for battery power sources of portable electronic equipment. A battery pack is constituted by accommodating a battery and battery protection device between a top case and bottom case forming a pack case. Since the battery is formed accommodated within an external casing wherein positive and negative electrode plates are formed by laminated sheet, reduced thickness and reduced weight of battery pack can be achieved. Also, since the face of bottom case opposite the battery is formed as a resiliently deformable face which is formed of small thickness, when expansion takes place such that the thickness of the battery as a whole increases, resiliently deformable face deforms maintaining a planar condition by resilient deformation, so that there is no possibility of an adverse effect on the equipment due to drum-shaped swelling being produced in battery pack, by such swelling.

A fuel cell stack formed by laminating thin end plates, separators, and the like, includes a first side surface and a second side surface parallel to the laminating direction. An anode side end plate has a plane portion on a first side surface. The dimension in the laminating direction of the plane portion is larger than a thickness of one of the end plates in a portion where the end plates sandwich a membrane electrode assembly. The plane portion is provided with a fuel inlet port for taking in fuel from the outside.

A fuel cell system for optimally controlling an amount and temperature of liquid component stored in a gas-liquid separator, and its control method. The fuel cell system includes a fuel cell, a pump for supplying gas to the fuel cell, a gas-liquid separator for storing a liquid component discharged at least from a cathode side of the fuel cell, a cooler for cooling the stored liquid component, a temperature detector for measuring temperature of liquid component, a liquid level detector for measuring an amount of liquid component, and a controller for controlling a flow rate of gas from the pump and heat discharge by the cooler. The controller controls at least heat discharge by the cooler or a flow rate of gas supplied from the pump based on an output of the temperature detector and an output of the liquid level detector.

In a fuel cell stack, a cell stack is formed by laminating membrane electrode assemblies and a separator, and sandwiching them with a pair of end plates from the both sides in the laminating direction, and the cell stack is tightened and fastened in a laminating direction by a first plate spring. The first plate spring includes two arm sections for pressing the end plates and a connecting section connecting the arm sections so as to have a C-shaped cross-section. Space between the connecting section of the first plate spring, and membrane electrode assembly and the end plates functions as a first cooling air flow passage.

A fuel cell system with a valve mechanism composed of valves provided to a fuel cell unit and a fuel cartridge, respectively. Part of the male valve is inserted into the female valve to cause their respective stems extending from the respective valve seal parts towards the valve ends to be pushed in so as to open the valve seal parts and to establish fluid communication. The valve mechanism ensures that no leakage occurs during disconnection of the valves by a design in which a cylindrical resilient member is fitted on the stem of the female valve such that its peripheral wall will be warped outwardly when pushed by the male valve as the valves are being connected, and liquid fuel that has remained outside the valve seal parts is sucked into the tubular space around the stem of the female valve as the valves are being disconnected.
摘要:
A battery and a battery pack comprising a rechargeable battery (2) and a circuit substrate (3) integrated therein by a resin mold package (11) are provided. Resin is filled between the rechargeable battery (2) and the substrate (3) electrically connected thereto, so as to unite them as one battery or battery pack. The rechargeable battery (2) includes an engaging member (26) which functions as an anchor to the resin mold package (11) formed onto the battery, whereby the resin mold package (11) is firmly joined to the rechargeable battery (2). A thermo-sensitive element can be incorporated either on the circuit substrate (3) or within the space filled with resin.
