BUS BAR AND CELL STACK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240313360 titled 'BUS BAR AND CELL STACK
The abstract describes a patent application for a bus bar with a unique design for connecting cells in a stack.
- The bus bar has a first joint part connected to an output terminal of the first cell.
- It also has a second joint part connected to an output terminal of the second cell.
- A projection is positioned between the first and second joint parts, protruding in the stacking direction of the cells and the bus bar.
- The projection includes a first inclined part extending from the first joint part and a second inclined part extending from the second joint part.
- The first and second inclined parts are aligned with a predetermined interval that gradually widens from one end to the other.
Potential Applications: - This innovative bus bar design could be used in various battery systems, such as electric vehicles or renewable energy storage. - It could also find applications in other electronic devices that require stacked cells with efficient connections.
Problems Solved: - The design addresses the need for a reliable and space-efficient connection between cells in a stack. - It ensures a secure and stable electrical connection while optimizing the use of space within the device.
Benefits: - Improved efficiency in connecting cells in a stack. - Enhanced reliability and stability of the electrical connection. - Space-saving design for compact electronic devices.
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Bus Bar Design for Efficient Cell Connections in Battery Systems This technology could be valuable for manufacturers of electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, and portable electronic devices looking to enhance the performance and reliability of their products.

Original Abstract Submitted
a bus bar has: a first joint part connected to an output terminal of the first cell; a second joint part connected to an output terminal of the second cell; and a projection that is disposed between the first joint part and the second joint part and protrudes in a stacking direction in which the cells and the bus bar are stacked. the projection has a first inclined part extending from the first joint part and has a second inclined part extending from the second joint part. the first inclined part and the second inclined part are arranged in such a manner that the first inclined part and the second inclined part are aligned with a predetermined interval w and that the predetermined interval gradually becomes wider from a first end side toward a second end side.
