Abstract:
A battery module includes: a plurality of battery cells and a case for housing the plurality of battery cells. The case has a plurality of through-holes which are provided to a wall part forming an outer face of the battery module and via which gas ejected from at least one of the plurality of battery cells is discharged in a dispersed manner.
Abstract:
The case housing a plurality of cells is divided, by a circuit board provided at the same sides of the cells, into a housing space housing the cells and an exhaust duct for releasing a gas from the vents of the cells to outside the case. The vents of the cells communicate with the exhaust duct through openings formed in the flat plate. The exhaust duct is divided into a first space and a second space by a partition provided between the flat plate and an external plate of the case. The first space communicates with the second space through holes formed in the partition.
Abstract:
A battery including: a battery can including a cylinder portion including an opening edge portion at one end portion of the cylinder portion and a bottom portion that closes the other end portion of the cylinder portion; an electrode body; a sealing member that seals an opening of the opening edge portion. The sealing member includes: a sealing plate; a cap connected to the sealing plate and electrically insulated from the sealing plate; and a sealing portion sealing a space between the cylinder portion and the cap. The cap includes: a ring-shaped top plate portion opposing the opening edge portion in an axial direction of the cylinder portion; and a side wall portion covering an outer circumferential surface of the cylinder portion. The sealing portion may be a gasket provided between the cap and the cylinder portion in a compressed state. The cap is electrically connected to the cylinder portion.
Abstract:
A power storage module includes: at least one cylindrical power storage device; and an upper holder that holds an upper end side of the power storage device; in which a positive-electrode terminal and a negative-electrode terminal are disposed at an end part on the upper end part of the power storage device, the negative-electrode terminal is disposed outside the positive-electrode terminal in a radial direction of the power storage device, the power storage module further includes a negative electrode lead connected to the negative-electrode terminal from an outer side in the radial direction, and the upper holder includes a restricting part located inside at least a part of the lead in the radial direction.
Abstract:
A cell module includes unit cells and holders. Each unit cell has an outer casing configured of two laminate films and including a housing portion that houses a power generating element and a sealing portion formed around the housing portion. Each holder includes a frame-shaped base portion disposed on the sealing portion, and an extension portion extending from the base portion onto the housing portion, and pressing a main surface portion at a position separated from a curved surface portion formed between a side surface portions and the main surface portion that are substantially perpendicular to each other of the housing portion. A plurality of unit cells is stacked on each other with the holders.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a battery including: a battery can including a cylinder portion including an opening edge portion at one end portion thereof and a bottom portion closing the other end portion of the cylinder portion; an electrode body housed in the cylinder portion; and a sealing member fixed to the cylinder portion to seal an opening of an opening edge portion. The sealing member includes a lid portion covering the opening of the opening edge portion. A first engagement portion is formed in the end portion of the cylinder portion on the opening edge portion side, and a second engagement portion is formed in an end portion of the lid portion on an outer circumferential side. A first surface of the first engagement portion and a second surface of the second engagement portion are bonded, with the first surface and the second surface overlapping each other.
Abstract:
A battery-affixing frame member includes a body plate section and duct-forming members. The duct-forming members are affixed to one surface side of the body plate section and are combined with the body plate section to form gas discharge ducts. The gas discharge ducts are used to discharge gas discharged from the inside of battery modules. The battery-affixing frame member is used to form a battery-affixing member for integrally affixing the battery modules together, the battery modules being arranged on the other surface side of the body plate section.
Abstract:
Provided is a battery unit capable of reducing the size of vehicle installation space by being more compact. A battery unit equipped with: a plurality of battery modules each containing a plurality of battery cells which are connected in parallel with one another, and each having a duct chamber for discharging gas emitted by the battery cells; and a fixing member for fixing the plurality of battery modules to the wall of a storage case in a manner such that the modules are integrally assembled with one another. The fixing member has an attachment part which attaches to a module case, and the attachment part includes an exhaust duct part for collecting and discharging the gas emitted into the duct chamber of each battery module.
