Abstract: A cap assembly of a cylindrical rechargeable battery includes an integrated gasket obtained by integrating a first gasket covering a top cap, a PTC element, and a safety vent and a second gasket covering a CID. The rechargeable battery including the cap assembly has the advantages of increasing a contact area between a safety vent and a gasket by integrating the existing dual-gasket structure to thereby increase a sealing effect, increasing a short circuit reactivity of the CID by freely changing the gasket structure according to the diameter of the current interrupting member to thereby improve stability, simplify components, and reduce a production unit cost.

Abstract: A cap assembly for a secondary battery is coupled to an open end of a battery can receiving an electrode assembly in which a separator is interposed between cathode and anode plates, and includes a top cap disposed on an uppermost portion in a protrusive form to form a cathode terminal; a safety element disposed below the top cap to contact the top cap; a safety vent disposed to contact the safety element; a current intercepting member having an upper portion welded to a lower end of the safety vent and a lower portion capable of being connected to the electrode assembly; a first gasket surrounding an outer circumference of the current intercepting member; and a second gasket surrounding the rims of the top cap, the safety element, and the safety vent, and a lower end portion extending to surround the lower portion of the current intercepting member.

Abstract: A cap assembly is provided. The cap assembly comprises a main gasket surrounding the outer circumference of a safety vent and an auxiliary gasket surrounding the outer circumference of a current interrupt device (CID). The main gasket is supported by the auxiliary gasket, leaving no space between the main gasket and the safety vent. The cap assembly is constructed such that the auxiliary gasket prevents the main gasket seated on a beading portion from sagging. This construction makes the cap assembly effective in preventing an electrolyte from leaking. Further provided is a cylindrical secondary battery comprising the cap assembly.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cap assembly and a battery including the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a cap assembly for a cylindrical secondary battery, in which the support unit of a current interrupt device (CID) is seated in the inclined portion or the terraced portion of a gasket and thus the battery is dually sealed, thereby preventing the leakage of an electrolyte, and a cylindrical secondary battery including the cylindrical secondary battery. The cap assembly of the present invention is dually sealed for the leakage of an electrolyte. Accordingly, there is an advantage in that the safety of the battery can be greatly improved because the electrolyte is rarely leaked although the battery is shocked because of dropping.
