  • Publication number: 20100297488
    Abstract: Provided is an explosion-proof structure of a power source part, an explosion-proof type battery unit and an explosion-proof type gas alarm, in which the degree of temperature rise upon short circuit of a secondary battery is reduced and explosion-proof performance with high reliability is achieved. The explosion-proof structure of a power source in an explosion-proof type apparatus employing a secondary battery as a power source for driving is fabricated by arranging a heat-radiating member composed of a metal at an outer peripheral surface of the secondary battery in a state that at least a part thereof comes into close contact with the surface. The explosion-proof type battery unit is composed of a cylindrical secondary battery and a heat-radiating member composed of a metal provided at an outer peripheral surface of the secondary battery in a state that at least a part thereof comes into close contact with the surface.
