POWER STORAGE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18207434 titled 'POWER STORAGE DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a power storage device that includes a stacked body of power storage modules, restraint plates, wiring, and a guide member.

  • The power storage device consists of multiple power storage modules stacked in a specific direction.
  • The modules have side surfaces extending in different directions.
  • Restraint plates are placed on both sides of the stacked body to apply a load and secure the modules.
  • Wiring is connected to the stacked body to facilitate power transfer.
  • A guide member is attached to the restraint plates to position the wiring on one of the side surfaces.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Energy storage systems for renewable energy sources like solar or wind power.
  • Electric vehicle batteries.
  • Backup power systems for homes or businesses.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides a compact and efficient way to stack power storage modules.
  • Ensures the stability and integrity of the stacked modules.
  • Simplifies the wiring process and improves the overall organization.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Increased energy storage capacity in a smaller footprint.
  • Enhanced safety and stability of the power storage device.
  • Streamlined installation and maintenance processes.
  • Improved efficiency and reliability of power transfer.


Original Abstract Submitted

A power storage device includes: a module stacked body including a plurality of power storage modules stacked in a first direction and having a first side surface extending in the first direction and a second direction orthogonal to the first direction and a second side surface adjacent to the first side surface and extending in the first direction and a third direction orthogonal to the first side surface and the second direction; a first restraint plate and a second restraint plate stacked on both sides of the module stacked body in the first direction and applying a restraint load to the module stacked body in the first direction; a wiring connected to the module stacked body; and a guide member coupled to the first restraint plate and the second restraint plate and disposing the wiring on the first side surface.
