  • Patent number: 9437845
    Abstract: To provide a battery module that may be easily assembled, and is capable of preventing a cell unit from being damaged during assembly, the battery module includes a cell unit provided with at least one unit cell, and first and second cases which enclose and accommodate the cell unit. The first and second cases are respectively provided with a main surface, and a side surface which is bent at one end of the main surface and extends in a direction away from the main surface.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 10, 2013
    Date of Patent: September 6, 2016

  • Patent number: 9105431
    Abstract: The present invention is provided with a fixed contact, a movable contact which selectively contacts with or separates from the fixed contact and a drive means which has at least an electromagnetic coil and drives the movable contact so that the movable contact comes into contact with the fixed contact. The drive means generates a first driving force for bringing the movable contact into contact with the fixed contact, and a second driving force larger than the first driving force for maintaining the contact state between the movable contact and the fixed contact.

  • Patent number: 8860537
    Abstract: An electromagnetic relay includes a fixed iron core, a movable iron core opposed to the fixed iron core, a magnetizing coil for generating a magnetic force when energized to make the movable iron core attracted by the fixed iron core, a movable contact coupled with the movable iron core, a fixed contact opposed to be contacted with the movable contact, a reset spring for reset the movable iron core, and a repulsive-force generating coil. The repulsive-force generating coil generates a magnetic field opposing to a remaining magnetic field of the movable iron core while the movable iron core moves from a position where the movable contact has passed through an arc field where an arc discharge between movable contact and the fixed contact to be occurred to a position where the movable iron core is just about to expand the reset spring fully.
