METHOD FOR GENERATING SMOKE IN CELL PACK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18244683 titled 'METHOD FOR GENERATING SMOKE IN CELL PACK
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for generating smoke in a cell pack, specifically from a single unit cell within the pack. This is achieved by attaching a heating means to the negative electrode output terminal of the cell pack, which heats the electrode body of the specific unit cell and causes the generation of a small amount of smoke.
- The method generates smoke in a cell pack by heating a specific unit cell.
- A heating means is attached to the negative electrode output terminal.
- The heating means heats the electrode body of the specific unit cell.
- Smoke is generated from the specific unit cell.
Potential Applications
- Testing and analysis of individual unit cells within a cell pack.
- Quality control and performance evaluation of cell packs.
- Research and development of battery technologies.
Problems Solved
- Lack of a method to generate smoke from a specific unit cell within a cell pack.
- Difficulty in isolating and analyzing individual unit cells within a pack.
- Limited options for evaluating the performance and reliability of cell packs.
Benefits
- Enables targeted testing and analysis of specific unit cells.
- Provides a means to assess the performance and reliability of cell packs.
- Facilitates research and development of battery technologies.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for generating smoke in a cell pack by which a very small amount of smoke can be generated from a specific single unit cell among unit cells constituting the cell pack. The method causes smoke generation in a cell pack in which unit cells are connected and which includes a positive electrode output terminal for electrically connecting the positive electrode terminal of the unit cell and an external device, and a negative electrode output terminal for electrically connecting the negative electrode terminal of the unit cell and an external device. By attaching a heating means to the negative electrode output terminal, the electrode body of a specific single unit cell is heated through the negative electrode output terminal to which the heating means is attached. As a result, it is possible to cause the generation of a small amount of smoke from the specific single unit cell.
