METHOD FOR GENERATING SMOKE IN CELL PACK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18600096 titled 'METHOD FOR GENERATING SMOKE IN CELL PACK

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a method for generating smoke in a cell pack by heating a specific single unit cell within the pack, allowing for the controlled generation of a small amount of smoke.

  • Heating means attached to the negative electrode output terminal of a unit cell heats the electrode body, causing smoke generation.
  • Smoke is produced from a specific single unit cell among the connected unit cells in the pack.
  • The method enables the generation of smoke in a controlled and precise manner.
  • The positive and negative electrode output terminals are used to connect the unit cells to external devices.
  • By heating the electrode body of a specific unit cell, smoke can be generated without affecting other cells in the pack.

Potential Applications: 1. Battery testing and safety demonstrations. 2. Smoke signal devices for emergency situations. 3. Training simulations for firefighters and first responders.

Problems Solved: 1. Controlled smoke generation in a specific unit cell. 2. Avoiding excessive smoke production that could be harmful. 3. Ensuring safety and precision in smoke generation processes.

Benefits: 1. Enhanced safety in smoke generation experiments. 2. Controlled and precise smoke output for various applications. 3. Efficient testing and training processes for emergency scenarios.

Commercial Applications: The technology could be utilized in battery testing equipment, emergency signaling devices, and training simulators for various industries such as firefighting and emergency response.

Questions about Smoke Generation in Cell Packs: 1. How does the method ensure the safety of generating smoke in a specific unit cell? 2. What are the potential environmental implications of controlled smoke generation in cell packs?


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.
