Abstract

A battery pack is provided and includes two or more secondary batteries having a cylindrical shape and arranged in parallel, and a first lead plate that electrically connects two or more of the secondary batteries. The first lead plate includes a first through hole, and a first wall portion provided on a plate surface on the opposite side to a plate surface having a connection surface connected to a terminal of the secondary battery, and the first wall portion has a first wall surface continuous with an inner peripheral surface of the first through hole.

Claims (54)

1 . A battery pack comprising:

two or more secondary batteries having a cylindrical shape and arranged in parallel; and

a lead plate that electrically connects two or more of the secondary batteries, wherein

the lead plate includes:

a first through hole; and

a first wall portion provided on a plate surface on a first plate surface side opposite to a second plate surface side having a connection surface connected to a terminal of the secondary battery, and

the first wall portion has a first wall surface continuous with an inner peripheral surface of the first through hole,

wherein the first wall portion extends from the first plate surface side along an axis of the first through hole.

2 . The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein

the first through hole is in a portion of the lead plate overlapping the secondary battery in a plan view as viewed from the terminal side.

3 . The battery pack according to claim 2 , wherein

the first through hole is further located at a portion other than a portion of the lead plate overlapping the secondary battery in a plan view as viewed from the terminal side.

4 . The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein

the lead plate has a plurality of first through holes, and

the plurality of first through holes are radially arranged around the terminal in a plan view as viewed from the terminal side.

5 . The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein

an inner diameter of the first through hole is 0.2 mm or more and 0.8 mm or less.

6 . The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein

the lead plate includes a main plate portion having a flat plate shape and a recess recessed toward the terminal side, and

the recess includes:

a bottom wall portion having the connection surface on a bottom surface;

an inclined wall portion connecting the bottom wall portion and the main plate portion and having an end on the main plate portion side positioned on an outer side than an end on the bottom wall portion side in a plan view as viewed from the terminal side; and

a second through hole penetrating the inclined wall portion at a position away from the main plate portion.

7 . The battery pack according to claim 6 , wherein

an end portion on the main plate portion side of an inner peripheral surface of the second through hole is inclined toward the bottom wall portion side in a sectional view of the second through hole taken along a plane orthogonal to the bottom surface.

8 . The battery pack according to claim 6 , wherein

the recess further includes a second wall portion provided on a plate surface on an opposite side to a plate surface having the connection surface, and

the second wall portion has a second wall surface continuous with an inner peripheral surface of the second through hole.

9 . A battery pack comprising:

two or more secondary batteries having a cylindrical shape and arranged in parallel; and

a lead plate that electrically connects two or more of the secondary batteries, wherein

the lead plate includes:

a first through hole; and

a first wall portion provided on a plate surface on a first plate surface side opposite to a second plate surface side having a connection surface connected to a terminal of the secondary battery, and

the first wall portion has a first wall surface continuous with an inner peripheral surface of the first through hole,

wherein the lead plate has a plurality of first through holes, and

the plurality of first through holes are radially arranged around the terminal in a plan view as viewed from the terminal side.

10 . A battery pack comprising:

two or more secondary batteries having a cylindrical shape and arranged in parallel; and

a lead plate that electrically connects two or more of the secondary batteries, wherein

the lead plate includes:

a first through hole; and

a first wall portion provided on a plate surface on a first plate surface side opposite to a second plate surface side having a connection surface connected to a terminal of the secondary battery, and

the first wall portion has a first wall surface continuous with an inner peripheral surface of the first through hole,

wherein the lead plate includes a main plate portion having a flat plate shape and a recess recessed toward the terminal side, and

the recess includes:

a bottom wall portion having the connection surface on a bottom surface;

an inclined wall portion connecting the bottom wall portion and the main plate portion and having an end on the main plate portion side positioned on an outer side than an end on the bottom wall portion side in a plan view as viewed from the terminal side; and

a second through hole penetrating the inclined wall portion at a position away from the main plate portion.

11 . The battery pack according to claim 10 , wherein

an end portion on the main plate portion side of an inner peripheral surface of the second through hole is inclined toward the bottom wall portion side in a sectional view of the second through hole taken along a plane orthogonal to the bottom surface.

12 . The battery pack according to claim 10 , wherein

the recess further includes a second wall portion provided on a plate surface on an opposite side to a plate surface having the connection surface, and

the second wall portion has a second wall surface continuous with an inner peripheral surface of the second through hole.
