    摘要: This electrical storage device comprises: an electrode body; a bottomed cylindrical outer can; a sealing plate to which a positive electrode terminal and a negative electrode terminal are attached; and a functional part placed near the positive electrode terminal or the negative electrode terminal on the inner surface of the sealing plate. The electrode body has a positive electrode tab group for which a plurality of positive electrode tabs are laminated, and a negative electrode tab group for which a plurality of negative electrode tabs are laminated, and each tab group functions as a spring that connects the electrode body and the sealing plate. Of the positive electrode tab group and the negative electrode tab group, the spring constant of one tab group near the functional part is greater than the spring constant of the other tab group.

    摘要: Provided is a battery pack capable of advantageously maintaining conduction. In the embodiment of the battery pack disclosed herein includes a stacked body in which a plurality of unit cells are stacked in a predetermined stacking direction, and a housing that accommodates the stacked body. An insulating member having an insulating property is arranged inside the housing. Here, a positive-negative electrode joint in which at least a part of the positive electrode terminal of one unit cell and at least a part of the negative electrode terminal of the other unit cell are joined to each other is present between the unit cells adjacent in the stacking direction, and the positive-negative electrode joints are embedded with the insulating member in order to prevent a liquid from penetrating from the outside.

    摘要: An electric tool includes a body, a battery pack, and a guide portion including a primary guide unit and a secondary guide unit. The primary guide unit and the secondary guide unit each extend in a preset direction and the primary guide unit and the secondary guide unit each are arranged in the longitudinal direction between a connecting portion of the battery pack and a mounting portion of the body. The primary guide unit and the secondary guide unit implement rigid mating. The primary guide unit includes primary mating surfaces mating with each other in the transverse direction, the secondary guide unit includes secondary mating surfaces mating with each other in the transverse direction, and a ratio of a width of a transverse gap between the primary mating surfaces to a width of a transverse gap between the secondary mating surfaces is greater than or equal to 0.3.

    摘要: A conductive member (61) is disposed near a side of the sealing plate (2) facing the inside of a battery with a first insulating member (10) disposed therebetween. The conductive member (61) has a conductive-member opening portion (61f) at a side facing the electrode assembly. An inserting portion (7b) of a positive electrode terminal (7) is inserted through a third terminal-receiving hole (61c) in the conductive member (61) and connected to the conductive member (61). The conductive-member opening portion (61f) of the conductive member (61) is sealed by a deformation plate (62), and the deformation plate (62) is connected to a first positive-electrode current collector (6a), which is electrically connected to positive electrode plates. The conductive member (61) includes a pressing projection (61e) that projects toward the first insulating member (10) from a portion thereof that faces the first insulating member (10).

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a battery module, including a first battery cell arrangement structure, a second battery cell arrangement structure and a bus bar array. With battery cells stacked in a horizontal direction, a first battery cell arrangement structure and a second battery cell arrangement structure are stacked in a vertical direction, and a first bus bar of a bus bar array is used to sequentially connect the battery cells of the first battery cell arrangement structure and the second battery cell arrangement structure. As a result, a total positive electrode and a total negative electrode of a battery module are located at two ends of the battery module, which greatly reduces the possibility of a short circuit of the battery module and improves the safety of the battery module.
