SEALED BATTERY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240120587 titled 'SEALED BATTERY
Simplified Explanation
The technique disclosed in the patent application involves suppressing movement of an electrode body inside an exterior body of a sealed battery. The exterior body is made of a laminated film and includes a housing part and a sealed part to isolate the inside and outside of the exterior body. The housing part has a flat face facing the wide face of the electrode body and four side walls rising from the sealed part towards the flat face. Two of the side walls curve towards the electrode body and inward of the exterior body to closely approach the electrode body.
- Explanation of the patent/innovation:
- Sealed battery design to prevent movement of electrode body - Exterior body made of laminated film with housing and sealed parts - Housing part with flat face and side walls to secure electrode body in place
- Potential applications of this technology:
- Electric vehicles - Portable electronic devices - Energy storage systems
- Problems solved by this technology:
- Prevents damage to battery components - Ensures stable performance of the battery - Reduces risk of short circuits
- Benefits of this technology:
- Improved safety - Enhanced battery longevity - Increased reliability
- Potential commercial applications of this technology:
- Battery manufacturing industry - Consumer electronics companies - Automotive sector
- Possible prior art:
- Traditional battery designs with less secure housing for electrode body
- Unanswered Questions:
- How does this technology compare to existing battery designs in terms of cost-effectiveness?
The patent application does not provide information on the cost implications of implementing this new battery design compared to traditional designs. Further research or analysis would be needed to determine the cost-effectiveness of this technology.
- What are the environmental implications of using this new battery design?
The patent application does not address the environmental impact of the new battery design. It would be important to investigate whether the materials used in this design are sustainable or recyclable, and how the manufacturing process may affect the environment.
Original Abstract Submitted
provided is a technique capable of suppressing movement of an electrode body inside an exterior body. according to the technique disclosed herein, a sealed battery is provided, which includes an electrode body having a wide face having a rectangular shape, an exterior body made of a laminated film, and positive electrode and negative electrode current collector terminals. the exterior body includes a housing part housing the electrode body, and a sealed part formed around the housing part to isolate the inside and the outside of the exterior body from each other. the housing part has a flat face facing the wide face of the electrode body and four side walls corresponding to four sides of the wide face respectively, the four side walls being formed so as to rise from the sealed part toward the flat face. a pair of the side walls corresponding to long sides of the wide face curves toward the electrode body and inward of the exterior body so as to closely approach the electrode body.
