  • Patent number: 9601746
    Abstract: A method for injecting an electrolyte includes heating a case in which an electrode assembly is accommodated, and injecting an electrolyte into the case after the heating of the case. Here, the heating of the case may include heating the case through high-frequency induction heating using a coil. Also, the coil may have a spiral shape to surround the outside of the case along a longitudinal direction of the case.

  • Patent number: 9590214
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a secondary battery structure. The secondary battery structure includes: a can; an electrode assembly accommodated in the can, the electrode assembly including a cathode tab and an anode tab; a cap plate sealing an opened upper end of the can; and an upper insulator disposed between the can and the cap plate, the upper insulator having a cathode tab hole for the cathode tab, an anode tab hole for the anode tab, and an injection/impregnation hole for injecting and impregnating, wherein each of the cathode tab hole, the anode tab hole, and the injection/impregnation hole extends in a length or width direction of the upper insulator and is symmetrical with respect to at least one of a line (a) that equally divides the upper insulator in a width direction and a line (b) that equally divides the upper insulator in a length direction.

  • Patent number: 9263725
    Abstract: Provided are a secondary battery case and a method for manufacturing a secondary battery. The secondary battery case includes a can accommodating an electrode assembly and a top cap sealing an upper opening of the can. The top cap includes a top plate sealing the upper opening of the can, a filling hole passing through the top plate to fill an electrolyte into the can, and a protrusion protruding from the top plate on an upper portion of the filling hole. The protrusion is press-fitted into the filling hole to seal the filling hole. According to the present invention, the protrusion may protrude from the top plate. Thus, the protrusion may be press-fitted into the filling hole and thus broken to seal the filling hole. Therefore, the member for sealing the filling hole may be integrated with the top plate to reduce manufacturing costs and simplify a manufacturing process.

  • Patent number: 6761996
    Abstract: The invention is a lithium secondary battery that prevents electrolyte and internal gas leakage by durably sealing the electrolyte injecting hole. The lithium secondary battery consists of a battery can, which contains a polar plate set with an anode plate, and a separator inserted and installed inside the battery can. The opening of the battery can has a cap assembly with an electrolyte injecting hole so that the can interior can be sealed. To seal the battery can, a rivet shaped sealing member is inserted in the electrolyte injecting hole. The sealing member is placed in contact with the cap assembly at an area surrounding the electrolyte injecting hole and affixed to the cap assembly.
