Publication number: 20240145879Abstract: Provided is a technique suppressing an electrode assembly inside an outer case from moving in a vertical direction with a simple configuration. An electric storage device includes the electrode assembly, the outer case, a sealing plate, a current collector, and an insulating member. The electrode assembly includes a tab. The outer case includes a bottom surface and an opening opposed to the bottom surface, and is a member accommodating the electrode assembly inside. The sealing plate covers the opening. The current collector is attached to the sealing plate, and is electrically connected to the electrode assembly via the tab. The insulating member is arranged between the sealing plate and the current collector. In addition, the insulating member includes an extension part configured to extend toward the electrode assembly so as to press the electrode assembly onto the bottom surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Kaito KARASUNO, Hiroshi TAKABAYASHI

Publication number: 20240145886Abstract: Provided is a technique decreasing a risk of damaging inside of an electrode assembly by an electrolytic solution injection. The electric storage device includes an electrode assembly, an electrolytic solution, an outer case, a sealing plate, and a current collector. The electrode assembly includes an electrode tab. The outer case includes an opening. The sealing plate is provided with a liquid injection hole. The current collector is attached to the sealing plate, and is electrically connected to the electrode assembly via the electrode tab. On the sealing plate, the liquid injection hole is provided not to overlap with a portion to which the current collector is attached. Between the liquid injection hole and the electrode assembly, a shielding part is provided to inhibit the electrolytic solution injected through the liquid injection hole from directly coming into contact with the electrode assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Kaito KARASUNO, Hiroshi TAKABAYASHI
