Abstract: An electrode assembly includes a radical unit in which electrodes and separators are alternately stacked, the radical unit having a structure in which one electrode is stacked at the uppermost end. An auxiliary unit is provided with a separation sheet disposed at the uppermost end side of the radical unit. The separation sheet includes a separation part disposed at the uppermost end side of the radical unit and a side surface protection part connected to each of side surfaces of the separation part and folded to contact a side portion of the radical unit to cover the side portion of the radical unit.

Abstract: A secondary battery includes: an electrode assembly; an electrode lead; a battery case with an accommodation portion for the electrode assembly and a sealing portion sealing the accommodation portion; and a lead film. The sealing portion includes a connection-sealing region connected to the accommodation portion, a front end-sealing region, and a reinforcement-sealing region therebetween. The reinforcement-sealing region includes a compressed surface, provided in the sealing portion between the connection-sealing region and the front end-sealing region and recessed into the sealing portion, and raised surfaces, provided in the sealing portion between the connection-sealing region and the compressed surface and between the front end-sealing region and the compressed surface and each of which is formed thicker than the compressed surface. The battery case has a resin layer, a metal layer, and an insulating layer.

Abstract: A switch structure includes a light-emitting part configured to receive power from a vehicle and to radiate light, a moving block located so as to surround the light-emitting part, a light-transmissive part configured to allow light radiated from the light-emitting part to pass through an opening in the moving block, and a film-printing layer located on a top surface of the light-transmissive part and including a symbol.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pouch-shaped battery case sealing apparatus capable of adjusting a direction in which an upper sealing block configured to press a laminate sheet applies pressure to the laminate sheet during a process of applying heat and pressure to an outer periphery of a battery case made of the laminate sheet to seal the outer periphery of the battery case when a pouch-shaped battery is manufactured and a pouch-shaped secondary battery sealing method using the same.

Abstract: A lamination apparatus for a secondary battery, which thermally bonds an electrode assembly in which electrodes and separators are alternately stacked, the lamination apparatus comprising: a transfer member to transfer the electrode assembly; a support member to support each of top and bottom surfaces of the electrode assembly transferred by the transfer member; a heating member disposed outside the support member to heat the electrode assembly supported by the support member; and a moving member to move the heating member in a direction away from the electrode assembly. The moving member moves the heating member in the direction away from the electrode assembly to prevent the electrode assembly from being heated by the heating member when the transfer member is stopped.

Abstract: Discussed are an apparatus and a method for manufacturing an electrode assembly. The apparatus for manufacturing the electrode assembly includes a heater unit configured to heat a laminate of an electrode and a separator when the laminate passes therethrough, a lamination device configured to laminate the laminate that is heated while passing through the heater unit, and a moving unit configured to allow the laminate to be spaced a predetermined distance from the heater unit so that heat transferred from the heater unit to the laminate is reduced or blocked when an operation of the lamination device is stopped.

Abstract: An apparatus for opening and closing an armrest is provided. After an armrest is slid to a position, the position of the armrest is selectively locked or unlocked using an armrest locking unit to thus prevent the weight of the armrest or vibrations of a vehicle from accidentally changing the position of the armrest against the intention of the user. The operation of unlocking the opening/closing plate from the console body and the operation of unlocking the sliding cover from the opening/closing plate are performed simultaneously with a single unlocking manipulation to allow a user to rapidly and conveniently perform the operations of opening/closing and sliding the armrest.

Abstract: A sliding armrest device for a vehicle may include a fixed armrest having a first oblique mounting surface formed on a top surface thereof and inclining along a width direction of a vehicle body, a sliding armrest having a second oblique mounting surface formed on an undersurface thereof and vertically matching the first oblique mounting surface, and a sliding rail device disposed between the first oblique mounting surface of the fixed armrest and the second oblique mounting surface of the sliding armrest and providing a forward and backward sliding force for the sliding armrest.
