Technical Field The present invention relates to a secondary battery pack. Technical Fundamentals
[001] As there has been a progressive increase regarding mobile devices, with the growth in demand for such mobile devices, there has also been a decisive increase in the demand for secondary batteries. Among the types of secondary batteries are secondary lithium batteries exhibiting a high energy density and operating voltage with excellent preservation and service life characteristics, which have been widely used as a power source for various electronic products, as well as for different models of mobile devices.
[002] Depending on the types of devices where secondary batteries are used, secondary batteries can be configured to incorporate a type of removable structure where secondary batteries can be easily inserted and removed from external devices or can incorporate a built-in type structure where the secondary batteries are embedded in the devices. For example, the secondary batteries used in conventional mobile devices are configured to present a removable type structure where it is possible for the user to insert or remove the battery inside or from each device. On the other hand, the secondary batteries used in these devices, such as some types of portable headphones, tablet PCs, and smart models, can be configured to have a built-in type structure.
[003] Lithium secondary batteries are widely used in the form of secondary batteries. Each of the secondary batteries includes an anode terminal and a cathode terminal electrically connected to the device, where the secondary battery is to be installed, and a safety element to effectively control an abnormal state, such as an overload or an excessive current, of the secondary battery. Examples relating to the safety element may include a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) element, a protection circuit module (PCM), a fuse, and a thermal interruption (TCO) element.
[004] In general, a safety element, such as a PCM, comes to be connected to a battery cell, including an anode terminal and a cathode terminal, via conductive nickel plates by means of soldering or soldering. For example, nickel plates are connected to the battery cell electrode terminals by soldering or soldering, and a protective circuit board (PCB) is attached to one side of a double-sided tape, a protective tape. comes to be attached to the other side of the double-sided tape, with the tabs of the PCB electrode and the nickel plates coming to be connected to each other by soldering in a condition where the PCB is in close contact with the battery cell. In this way, the PCM is connected to the battery cell to manufacture a battery pack.
[005] There is a requirement for the PCM to be kept in electrical connection with the battery cell electrode terminals and, at the same time, be electrically isolated from the other parts of the battery cell. For this purpose, insulating tapes come to be attached to various members, including the PCM. Furthermore, a sealed portion of a battery casing is partially curved, and an insulating tape is attached thereto or a bar code is printed thereon. In other words, the process is quite complicated.
[006] Once there is a request for a plurality of insulating tapes or parts to arrive at a secure connection between the security element and the battery cell, as described above, the assembly process of the battery pack is complicated, and manufacturing cost is increased. Also, when an external impact is applied to the battery pack, the PCM can be damaged or the dimensional stability can be greatly reduced due to the use of insulating tapes, which exhibit low mechanical intensity.

[049] A PCB 500 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a PCB 200 having a protection circuit, an electrically insulated PCM housing 300, where the PCB 200 is disposed, and an external input and output terminal 210 .
[050] With reference to FIG. 1, PCB 200 consists of a board including a protection circuit. The PCB can be referred to as a protective circuit board or simply a board. The PCB 200 may further include an anode terminal connecting portion 220 connected to the anode terminal 120 of the battery cell 100 and a cathode terminal connecting portion 230 connected to the cathode terminal 110 of the battery cell 100 on the board, in addition to the protection circuit for controlling overcharge, over-discharge, and over-current from the battery. In addition to the protection circuit and the two connecting parts 220 and 230, the PCB 200 may further include an external input and output terminal 210 connected to the board via an interconnecting part 211 connected at one end to the board, as shown in FIG. . 1.
[051] An external input and output terminal 210 coming in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention are not particularly restricted since the external input and output terminal may be electrically connected to the PCB 200 to supply current from a external device, such as a charger, near the battery cell 100 or to supply current from the battery cell 100 to an external device, such as a mobile phone, an MP3 player, etc. For example, the external input and output terminal 210 can be configured to incorporate a board structure having a connector 212 mounted on one end thereof.
[052] It is also different from the modality shown in FIG. 1, the external input and the output terminal can be formed together with the board where the anode terminal connecting part and the cathode terminal connecting part are formed without being connected to PCB 200 via the interconnecting part. A secondary battery pack having the construction set out above is shown in FIG. 11. In a case where an external input and an output terminal are formed on a PCB, the openings are formed in a region of a PCM 420 housing (see FIG. 11), where the PCB is arranged, corresponding to an input and to the 430 output terminal (see FIG. 11). The external input and output terminal can be electrically connected to an external device through the openings.
[053] An anode terminal connecting part 220 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a part coupled together with the PCB 200 and an extension part that can be bent when the anode terminal connecting part 220 comes to be connected to the anode terminal 120 of the battery cell 100. Likewise, a cathode terminal connecting portion 230 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a portion coupled to the PCB 230 and an extension portion that may be curved when the cathode terminal connecting portion 230 comes to be connected to the cathode terminal 110 of the battery cell 100.
[054] As shown in FIG. 1, the external input and output terminal 210 coming in accordance with the embodiment of the present invention are configured to have a board structure containing a connector 212 mounted at one end thereof, where, however, the external input and output terminal 210 do not find restrictions. Also, as shown in FIG. 1, the external input and output terminal 210 are configured to face a direction opposite to a direction where the anode terminal connecting portion 220 and the cathode terminal connecting portion 230 face together, this being just an example. According to another embodiment of the present invention, the external input and output terminal 210 can be configured to face the same direction as the direction where the anode terminal connecting part 220 and the cathode terminal connecting part face each other. In addition, the external input and output terminal can be located along the side of the cathode terminal connecting part.
[055] A PCM 300 enclosure, according to an embodiment of the present invention, is configured to present an open hollow box structure along one of its faces, so that the PCB 200 can be mounted in the enclosure PCM 300 through the open face. Consequently, the dimensional stability of the PCM 300 casing becomes high, and the assembly time and process can be greatly reduced. In this case, the process of positioning the PCB 200 in the PCM 300 housing and the assembly of the PCB 200 with the PCM 300 housing. possible to greatly simplify the process.
[056] The PCM casing 300 may be of a size sufficient to receive and enclose the PCB 200 mounted on the sealed excess portion 130 of the battery cell 100. Also, in a case where the PCB 200 includes the external input and output terminal 210 connected thereto via the interconnecting part 211 as shown in FIG. 1, an opening through which the external input and output terminal 210 are to be exposed may be formed adjacent a face of the PCM housing 300 adjacent the open face. For example, a slit-like opening 310 may be formed adjacent to the PCM casing.
[057] A secondary battery pack, according to another embodiment of the present invention, can be configured so that a safety element is further mounted between at least one of the electrode terminals, i.e., the anode terminal and/or the cathode terminal, the battery cell and the PCB. In this case, the safety element can be arranged between, for example, the anode terminal of the battery and the PCB. The safety element is mounted in the PCM housing together with the PCB so that the structural stability of the safety element is ensured.
[058] Consequently, it is possible to directly connect the cathode terminal of the battery cell with the cathode terminal connecting part of the PCB and connect one side of the safety element together with the connecting part of the safety element arranged thereon. PCB face in a state where the anode terminal comes to be connected to the other side of the safety element without the shape deformation or use of the additional members, and therefore it is possible to stably install the safety element, being it lowers the structural intensity, along with the PCB, thus reducing a defect rate along with a manufacturing process with improved manufacturing efficiency.
[059] The safety element consists of a member that interrupts the current when the temperature of the battery cell increases, ensuring safety. For example, the safety element can consist of a PCT element whose resistance increases as the temperature of the battery cell increases, or the fuse fails to function when the temperature of the battery cell increases. However, the safety element is not restricted to the PTC element and the fuse.
[060] A description of a method of manufacturing the secondary battery set shown in FIG. 1 with reference to FIGS. 2 to 10. FIGS. 2-10 comprise of several perspective views of a secondary battery pack illustrating a method of manufacturing a secondary battery pack.
[061] Firstly with reference to FIG. 2, an excess portion, i.e. a sealed excess portion 130, is formed near one of the sealed faces of a battery cell 100, and an anode terminal 120 and a cathode terminal 110 of the battery cell 100 are arranged in the sealed over portion 130. The over sealed portion 130 is of sufficient size for the admission of a PCM 500, where a PCB 200 is coupled to a PCM 300 housing, with the size of the PCM 300 housing being able to be larger or less than that relating to the sealed excess portion 130. An individual having technical knowledge in the field will appreciate that the size of the PCM casing 300 can be suitably adjusted based on the capacity and shape of the battery cell.
[062] Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 2, a nickel plate 140 can be coupled to a portion of the cathode terminal 110, for example, by ultrasonic welding. In a case where the nickel plate 140 comes to be installed next to the cathode terminal 110, it is possible to prevent deterioration of the soldering capacity between the cathode terminal, made of aluminum, of the battery cell and a connecting part of cathode terminal made of nickel due to different properties.
[063] Furthermore, in the other embodiment of the present invention, according to the description already provided, an additional security element, such as a PTC element, may be mounted between the anode terminal 120 and a connecting part of 220 anode terminal to ensure stability.
[064] Subsequently, according to FIG. 3, the anode terminal connecting portion 220 and a cathode terminal connecting portion 230 formed near the PCB 200 are soldered to the anode terminal 120 and the cathode terminal 110 of the battery cell 100, respectively, e.g. through spot welding. In a case where the nickel plate 140 is to be soldered to the cathode terminal 110, as shown in FIG. 2, the cathode terminal connection portion 230 is to be soldered to the nickel plate 140.
[065] Since the anode terminal connecting part 220 and the cathode terminal connecting part 230 each include a part coupled to the PCB 200 and an extendable part that can be bent, according to the description already given, the anode terminal connecting part 220 and the cathode terminal connecting part 230 of the PCB 200 can be coupled to the anode terminal 120 and the cathode terminal 110 of the battery cell 100, respectively, by means of mode soldering. that the PCB 200 is presented opposite a face of the battery cell 100, where the sealed excess portion 130 is formed, as can be seen from FIG. 3.
[066] With reference to FIG. 4 in conjunction with FIG. 1 , after the anode terminal connecting part 220 and the cathode terminal connecting part 230 are bent, an adhesive tape 160, serving as an insulating tape, may come to be fixed together with a terminal display region of electrode of the sealed excess portion 120 of the main body of the battery cell 100. In a case where the insulating tape is still affixed to the electrode terminal exposure region of the sealed excess portion 130, according to the above description, it is It is possible to more effectively improve the isolation of the electrode terminal exposure region. Furthermore, in a case where the electrical tape presents itself as a double-sided tape, the double-sided tape provides a coupling force between the PCM housing and the sealed excess portion when assembling the PCM housing with the PCB , thereby further improving structural stability.
[067] In the embodiment of the present invention, the PCB 200, connected to the battery cell 100 via the anode terminal connecting part and the cathode terminal connecting part, can be disposed in the PCM housing in a state where the PCB 200 is parallel to battery cell 100, and may be mounted close to the sealed overflow portion of battery cell 100. At present, the state in which PCB 200 is parallel to battery cell 100 may be, for example, , from a state where the anode terminal connecting part 220 and the cathode terminal connecting part 230, connected to the anode terminal and the cathode terminal of the battery cell, are arranged to face each other in upward direction as shown in FIG. 4. In this case, as shown in FIG. 4, the PCB 200 can be spaced away from the end of the battery cell where the formation of the excess sealed portion occurs through the length extension between the anode terminal and the anode terminal connecting part and between the cathode terminal and the cathode terminal connecting part in the longitudinal direction so that the PCB 200 is parallel to the sealed excess portion.
[068] In other words, in a situation where the PCB 200 comes to be arranged in parallel with the battery cell, as shown in FIG. 4, the face of the PCB 200 where the anode terminal connection part 220 and the cathode terminal connection part 230 are located, faces upwards with the resultant that the two wider of the four faces constituting the external appearance of the PCB 200 confront each other upwards and downwards. Furthermore, since the two of the four wider faces constituting the external appearance of the PCB 200 face upwards and downwards, two of the wider faces of the PCB 200 and two of the wider faces of the battery cell 100 are presented. arranged to confront each other in the same directions. Consequently, it can be understood that the PCB 200 is arranged in parallel with the battery cell 100 and includes the positioning relationship mentioned above.
[069] With reference to FIG. 5 , the board can be disposed in the PCM housing in a state where the board is parallel to the battery cell in an extension direction identical to an extension direction of the sealed excess portion. As previously described in connection with FIG. 1, PCM housing 300 is open on one of its faces so that PCM housing 300 admits PCB 200 through the open face. Furthermore, in a situation where the external input and output terminal 210 are connected to the connecting parts of the PCB 200 via the interconnecting part, shown as in FIG. 1, an opening, for example, a slit-like opening 310 may be formed near a face of the PCM housing 300 corresponding to the interconnecting portion 211 of the PCB 200 so that the external input and output terminal 210 are exposed. to the outside. Since the interconnecting part 211 of the PCB 200 extends through the slit-like opening 310, the external input and output terminal 210 connected to the interconnecting part 211 are exposed to the outside.
[070] The PCM housing can be mounted next to the battery cell in a state with the opening faces facing upwards, as shown in FIG. 1, or in a vector direction as shown in FIG. 5. In addition, the PCM housing can be mounted next to the battery cell in a state where the plate is perpendicular to the battery cell as well as in a state where the plate is parallel to the battery cell, as described. previous.
[071] With reference to FIG. 6 in conjunction with FIGS. 1 and 8, the anode terminal 120 and the cathode terminal 110 are curved towards a face of the battery cell where the sealed excess portion is formed so that the PCM housing 300 is mounted close to the sealed excess portion. 130 of the battery cell 100.
[072] When the PCB 200 comes to be mounted next to the sealed excess portion 130 formed near a face of the battery cell 100, according to the previous description, the PCB 200 is mounted perpendicularly to the sealed excess portion 130. In one case where it is difficult for the excess sealed portion 130 to be of sufficient size, the PCB 200 may be reduced in size.

Consequently, it is possible to protect and isolate the PCM by including the protection circuit board. In addition, it is possible to easily prevent the electrode terminals from being exposed to the outside without insulating the electrode terminals through the use of additional members.
[080] Furthermore, the secondary battery pack according to the present invention is configured so that the protective circuit board is mounted in the housing. Consequently, it is possible to easily manufacture the secondary battery pack, relatively reducing a defect rate, and configure the secondary battery pack so that the secondary battery pack does not have any creases formed on its external face, i.e., have a clean and transparent external appearance compared to the conventional secondary battery pack where the PCM comes to be isolated through the use of a tape.
[081] Even more, the secondary battery assembly, according to the present invention, comes to be configured so that the protective circuit board is mounted next to the sealed surplus portion formed on one face of the battery cell. Consequently, it is possible to reduce the length of the excess sealed portion and increase the battery pack capacity per unit volume compared to the conventional secondary battery pack.
[082] In sequence, in a generic process of assembling the secondary battery pack, the connecting members and the PCM come together, and an electrical tape is attached at each step, with the PCM assembly being mounted on the battery cell , according to the previous description. That is, the PCM assembly is installed next to the battery cell making use of a plurality of parts, resulting in the need for a plurality of processes, and with the structural stability as well as the mechanical intensity being low.
[083] On the other hand, the protection circuit module, according to the present invention, comes to be configured to present a structure where the protection circuit board is mounted in the housing, and, therefore, being possible to improve the structural stability of the battery pack, to greatly simplify the battery pack manufacturing process, to ensure excellent insulation, and to maximize the capacity of the battery cell in the battery pack featuring the same standard as the conventional battery pack.
[084] In addition, in the manufacturing method according to the present invention, it is possible to come to protect and insulate the PCM making use of the casing without the presence of an additional member, such as a label or an insulating tape. In addition, the protective circuit board is electrically connected to the electrode terminals, with the electrode terminals being curved, and then the protective circuit board being mounted in the housing, with the result that no exposed regions are formed. during the bending process, and therefore there is no need for an additional insulating member.
[085] Although the exemplary modalities of the present invention have been described for illustrative purposes, experts in the field will note that various modifications, additions and substitutions are possible, without deviating from the scope and spirit of the invention, described in accordance with with the accompanying drawings.
