POWER STORAGE CELL - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240162582 titled 'POWER STORAGE CELL

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a power storage cell with an electrode assembly, a cell case, and an external terminal secured to the cell case. The external terminal includes a terminal plate above the cell case and an insulating plate between the terminal plate and the cell case, creating a gap between them.

  • Electrode assembly
  • Cell case
  • External terminal with terminal plate and insulating plate
  • Insulating plate supports terminal plate creating a gap
  • Potential Applications

This technology could be used in various electronic devices that require power storage, such as smartphones, laptops, and electric vehicles.

  • Problems Solved

This design helps prevent short circuits and improves the overall safety and efficiency of the power storage cell.

  • Benefits

The insulating plate reduces the risk of electrical malfunctions, increasing the reliability of the power storage cell.

  • Potential Commercial Applications

This technology could be valuable for battery manufacturers, electronics companies, and automotive industries looking to enhance the performance of their products.

  • Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be similar power storage cells with external terminals, but without the specific design of an insulating plate supporting the terminal plate.

Questions:

1. How does the gap between the insulating plate and the terminal plate improve the performance of the power storage cell? 2. Are there any specific materials recommended for the insulating plate to ensure optimal functionality of the power storage cell?


Original Abstract Submitted

a power storage cell comprises an electrode assembly, a cell case accommodating the electrode assembly, and an external terminal secured to an upper surface of the cell case. the external terminal has a terminal plate located above the cell case, and an insulating plate interposed between the cell case and the terminal plate. the insulating plate supports the terminal plate in such a manner that a gap is formed between the insulating plate and the terminal plate.
