POWER STORAGE CELL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240162585 titled 'POWER STORAGE CELL
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a power storage cell with a unique lid design that includes an inversion plate and a protrusion for short-circuiting the lid main body and the external terminal.
- Electrode assembly
- Cell case with a main body and a lid
- External terminal
- Lid with a positively or negatively charged main body
- Inversion plate for short-circuiting
- Protrusion for contacting the external terminal
- Deformable inversion plate with steady-state and inversion shapes
- Holding portion on the external terminal for the protrusion
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in various electronic devices requiring power storage cells with improved safety features.
Problems Solved
The design addresses the risk of short-circuiting in power storage cells, enhancing safety and reliability.
Benefits
Improved safety, reliability, and efficiency in power storage cells.
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology could be utilized in consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and renewable energy systems.
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to safety features in power storage cells, but specific examples are not provided in the abstract.
Unanswered Questions
How does the deformable inversion plate impact the overall performance of the power storage cell?
The deformable inversion plate allows for short-circuiting when needed, but it is unclear how this feature affects the cell's efficiency and longevity.
Are there any limitations to the protrusion and inversion plate design in terms of compatibility with different types of power storage cells?
It is not specified whether the design is universally applicable to all types of power storage cells or if there are limitations based on size or configuration.
Original Abstract Submitted
a power storage cell includes: an electrode assembly; a cell case; and an external terminal. the cell case has a case main body and a lid. the lid has a lid main body charged positively or negatively, an inversion plate that is able to short-circuit the lid main body and the external terminal, and a protrusion protruding from the inversion plate toward the external terminal. the inversion plate is deformable between a steady-state shape and an inversion shape, the steady-state shape being a shape curved to project in a direction away from the external terminal, the inversion shape being a shape curved to project toward the external terminal with the inversion plate being in contact with the external terminal. the external terminal has a holding portion that holds the protrusion when the inversion plate is in the inversion shape.
