BATTERY INCLUDING SHORT CIRCUIT STRUCTURE ACCORDING TO TEMPERATURE CHANGE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18381247 titled 'BATTERY INCLUDING SHORT CIRCUIT STRUCTURE ACCORDING TO TEMPERATURE CHANGE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING SAME
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a battery with a unique design that includes critical temperature resistors (CTRs) connected to the electrode tabs and the metal layer of the case.
- The battery comprises a case with an internal space and a metal layer.
- An electrode assembly is partially disposed in the internal space, with first and second electrode tabs.
- A first CTR is on the first electrode tab and a second CTR is on the second electrode tab, overlapping the edge of the case.
- The electrode tabs are electrically connected to an external component, forming a conductive path.
- The CTRs are electrically connected to the metal layer.
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in various electronic devices that require batteries, such as smartphones, laptops, and electric vehicles.
Problems Solved
This design helps prevent overheating and potential safety hazards in batteries by monitoring and regulating temperature through the CTRs.
Benefits
- Improved safety by monitoring temperature - Enhanced reliability of the battery - Potential for increased battery lifespan
Original Abstract Submitted
According to certain embodiments, a battery comprises: a case comprising an internal space and a metal layer; and an electrode assembly at least partially disposed in the internal space, the electrode assembly comprising a first electrode tab and a second electrode tab; a first critical temperature resistor (CTR) disposed on the first electrode tab and a second CTR disposed in on the second electrode tab, wherein the first CTR and the second CTR overlap an edge of the case, wherein at least one of the first electrode tab and the second electrode tab are configured to be electrically connected to an external component, thereby forming a first conductive path between the electrode assembly and the external component, and wherein the first CTR and the second CTR are electrically connected to the metal layer.
