Abstract

Battery pack as an example of an exemplary embodiment includes: a plurality of batteries; and case including case body housing the plurality of batteries and case lid covering opening of case body. Case is configured such that when the internal pressure increases due to generation of gas, case body and case lid are relatively displaced in directions away from each other and a gas exhaust opening is formed in a state that a coupling between case body and case lid is maintained.

Claims (15)

1 . A battery pack, comprising:

a plurality of batteries; and

a case including a case body that houses the plurality of batteries and a case lid that closes an opening of the case body,

wherein the case is configured to satisfy that when an internal pressure in the case increases due to generation of gas, the case body and the case lid are relatively displaced in directions away from each other, and a gas exhaust opening is formed in a state that a coupling between the case body and the case lid is maintained,

one of the case body or the case lid includes an extension portion to be inserted into an other one of the case body or the case lid, and

the extension part includes a plurality of exhaust holes, and is exposed to an outside of the case when the case body and the case lid are relatively displaced in directions away from each other.

2 . The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein the extension part includes a mesh structure.

3 . The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein the case includes a structure of biasing the case lid in a direction which the case body and the case lid approach each other.

4 . A battery pack, comprising:

a plurality of batteries; and

a case including a case body that houses the plurality of batteries and a case lid that closes an opening of the case body,

wherein the case is configured to satisfy that when an internal pressure in the case increases due to generation of gas, the case body and the case lid are relatively displaced in directions away from each other, and a gas exhaust opening is formed in a state that a coupling between the case body and the case lid is maintained,

one of the case body or the case lid includes an extension portion to be inserted into an other one of the case body or the case lid, and

the extension part includes a mesh structure.

5 . The battery pack according to claim 4 , wherein the case includes a structure of biasing the case lid in a direction which the case body and the case lid approach each other.
