Abstract: Disclosed herein is a no-welding type battery pack using one or more forced-inserting type rivets. A cap assembly includes a base plate mounted to an open upper end of a battery case, a protection circuit module (PCM) mounted on the base plate, and a top cap coupled to the upper end of the battery case while the top cap covers the PCM. The top cap is made of an insulative material. The electrical connection and the mechanical coupling between the PCM and the base plate are accomplished by one or more forced-inserting type rivets. The cap assembly is included the battery pack. The no-welding type battery pack using the one or more forced-inserting type rivets is manufactured without welding or soldering requiring an excessive amount of time and skilled technique during the electrical connection between the battery cell and the PCM. As a result, the assembly process of the battery pack is simplified, and therefore, the manufacturing time of the battery pack is reduced.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a battery pack wherein ultrasonic welding is performed at side walls extending from an upper case and a lower case, each of the side walls having a predetermined thickness, and a film-shaped label is formed at the upper surface and/or the lower surface of the case, whereby the coupling force due to the ultrasonic welding is very large although the thickness is very small, the structural stability against being dropped or external impacts is high, and interface area of the coupling regions is large, with the result that the attachment of any label for increasing the coupling force and preventing the introduction of foreign matters is not necessary.
