  • Patent number: 11211668
    Abstract: A power storage apparatus has a case accommodating an electrode assembly, and a release valve present in the wall of the case. The electrode assembly includes electrodes. A shielding member is arranged between the inner surface of the wall and the end surface of the electrode assembly. A point located in a center of the case in a front view of the case taken in the stacking direction of the electrodes and located in a center of a dimension of the electrode assembly in the stacking direction is a center point, and a region surrounded by a plane connecting the center point and a contour of the pressure release valve at a shortest distance is a three-dimensional region. The shielding member includes a shielding portion that entirely covers a cross section of the three-dimensional region along the end face of the electrode assembly.

  • Patent number: 10361422
    Abstract: A current interruption device includes a conductive plate and a first deformable plate. The conductive plate includes a center portion and a peripheral portion surrounding the center portion. An upper surface of the center portion is formed in a planar shape spreading in a first direction and a second direction orthogonal thereto in a conductive state. The peripheral portion includes an inclined portion extending outward from a boundary between the center portion and the peripheral portion. An upper surface of the inclined portion is inclined so as to increase a distance to the first deformable plate as the upper surface of the inclined portion becomes farther away from the center portion when the conductive plate and the first deformable plate are viewed along the first direction or the second direction in the conductive state.

  • Patent number: 10340485
    Abstract: A lid of a rechargeable battery includes a lid body that closes an opening of a case body and is supported by a case-side mating surface surrounding the opening of the case body. The lid also includes an inserted portion having a shape of a quadrangular column. The inserted portion protrudes from the lid body toward an inner part of the case body and extends along an inner circumferential surface of the case body. The lid also includes a rounded corner present in the distal end of the inserted portion in a protruding direction in which the inserted portion protrudes from the lid body. The lower limit of an edge-removal dimension of the corner is equal to an average particle diameter of a material for the lid.
