  • Patent number: 12095118
    Abstract: A secondary battery includes a wound electrode body. The wound electrode body includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator. The positive electrode and the negative electrode are stacked on each other with the separator interposed therebetween and are wound about a winding axis. The wound electrode body has a section perpendicular to the winding axis. The section has an elongated shape that includes a flat part and a pair of curved parts. The curved parts oppose each other with the flat part interposed therebetween. The negative electrode includes a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode active material layer provided on the negative electrode current collector. A width of the wound electrode body, a wound-layer number of the wound electrode body, and a ratio of a second distance to a first distance satisfy at least one of Condition A and Condition B.

  • Patent number: 12083452
    Abstract: A washing pipe is mounted on a washing guide provided on an outer side of an outer cylinder screen of the screw press and includes a washing pipe body and washing nozzles provided in the washing pipe body and configured to discharge washing liquid flowing from an inside of the washing pipe body toward the outer cylinder screen. A washing pipe swing supporter is configured to support the washing guide to allow the washing pipe to swing between a discharge position and a separation position. The discharge position is a position where the washing pipe is mounted on the washing guide and the washing liquid is discharged from the washing nozzles toward the outer cylinder screen. The separation position is a position where the washing nozzles are farther away from the outer cylinder screen than in a state where the washing pipe is positioned at the discharge position.
