Patent application number | Description | Published |
20090075169 | Secondary battery - A secondary battery which can prevent leakage of an electrolytic solution by improving the sealing property of an electrolytic solution injection hole formed at a cap plate comprises: an electrode assembly including a cathode plate, a separator and an anode plate; a can having an upper opening for receiving the electrode assembly; and a cap assembly which is combined with the upper opening of the can, and which includes a cap plate provided with an electrolytic solution injection hole at one side thereof. A groove is formed in an axial direction on an inner circumferential surface of the electrolytic solution injection hole. Thus, the contact area between a stopper and the electrolytic solution injection hole is increased, thereby improving the sealing property of the electrolytic solution injection hole. | 03-19-2009 |
20110300425 | BATTERY STORAGE TRAY - A battery tray for storing a battery comprises: a battery storage unit comprising: a first side and a second side facing each other, and a third side and a fourth side facing each other, wherein the third and fourth sides have planar portions for accommodating a prismatic battery cell and round portions for accommodating a cylindrical battery cell; a first guiding unit extending from a lower portion of the third side to secure a first end of a prismatic battery cell; and a second guiding unit extending from a lower portion of the fourth side to secure a second end of a prismatic battery cell. | 12-08-2011 |
20130029208 | RECHARGEABLE BATTERY - A rechargeable battery case that prevents a short circuit of a cell by inducing bending of a case under a lateral/longitudinal compression condition in a specific manner. The rechargeable battery case includes an opening in the case through which an electrode assembly is inserted. A bottom portion is provided at an end of the case opposite to that of the opening. A front portion is connected to the bottom portion. A back portion is connected to the bottom portion and the front portion. A joint portion is arranged between the front, back and bottom portion. Further, a first area and a second area are disposed longitudinally in the front and back portions. The second area is on either side of the first area. The joint portion in the second area is thicker than the joint portion in the first area. | 01-31-2013 |
20130029211 | Rechargeable Battery - A rechargeable battery that prevents an internal short circuit of a cell by inducing bending of a cap plate and a case at a predetermined location and in a predetermined direction under a longitudinal compression condition. The rechargeable battery includes a case having a front sidewall opposite a back sidewall, a bottom wall opposite an opening and joint portions connecting the bottom wall to each of the front and back sidewalls, an electrode assembly arranged within the case, a cap plate arranged within the opening of the case to seal within the electrode assembly, the cap plate including at least one bend inducing groove, a curvature of an inner curved surface of portions of the joint portions arranged within the center portion being greater than a curvature of an inner curved surface of portions of the joint portions arranged within the side portions. | 01-31-2013 |
20130136962 | RECHARGEABLE BATTERY - Embodiments of a rechargeable battery include: an electrode assembly including first and second leads; a case for receiving the electrode assembly; a cap plate covering an opening of the case, connected to the first lead, and including a terminal hole; and an insulating terminal plate provided between the cap plate and the electrode assembly, connected to the second lead, and an electrode end installed in the terminal hole. The cap plate may include a protrusion oriented toward the electrode assembly. The terminal plate may include an extended unit extended to an external part of the protrusion with respect to the terminal hole and separated from the protrusion. The protrusion and the extended unit may be provided on a plane in parallel with the opening. A first distance between the terminal hole and the protrusion may be shorter than a second distance between the terminal hole and the extended unit. | 05-30-2013 |
20150030915 | SECONDARY BATTERY - A secondary battery including: an electrode assembly; a case accommodating the electrode assembly; a cap assembly including a cap plate coupled to the case, and a bottom plate attached to a bottom surface of the cap plate; and an electrode terminal protruding from the cap assembly and electrically connected to the electrode assembly, and the bottom plate includes a terminal plate electrically connected to the electrode terminal, and an insulation film stacked on the terminal plate and electrically insulating the terminal plate and the cap plate from each other, the insulation film being integrally formed with the terminal plate. | 01-29-2015 |
20150086858 | RECHARGEABLE BATTERY - A rechargeable battery includes: an electrode assembly; an outer case to enclose the electrode assembly, where the outer case includes an opening; a cap plate to seal the opening of the outer case; an insulating case of a predetermined height installed within the outer case, the insulating case installed between the cap plate and the electrode assembly; and an electrode terminal installed on the cap plate and electrically connected to the electrode assembly, where the outer case includes an insulating portion formed on an inner surface of the opening thereof adjacent said insulating case, said insulating portion being electrically insulating, and said insulating portion located at an upper portion of the outer case and being shaped to prevent foreign substances from flowing from the external environment into the outer case. | 03-26-2015 |
20150111068 | SECONDARY BATTERY - A secondary battery, which can improve safety during a longitudinal compression test by reinforcing strength of a cap plate, is provided. In one embodiment, the secondary battery includes an electrode assembly, a can accommodating the electrode assembly, and cap plate coupled to a top portion of the can and sealing the can, wherein a reinforcement unit is formed on at least one side of the cap plate. | 04-23-2015 |
