Abstract

A power storage device includes a case lid with a terminal inserting hole, a current collecting terminal having a hole insertion portion inserted in the terminal inserting hole in a case front-back direction and an external connection portion continuous with the hole insertion portion and placed in parallel to the case lid on the case front-surface side, and an insulating resin member integrally molded with the current collecting terminal and the case lid to connect the hole insertion portion and the external connection portion to a hole outer edge portion and a hole surrounding portion. The insulating resin member includes a back-surface side insulating resin portion connecting a back surface of the external connection portion and the hole insertion portion to the hole outer edge portion and the hole surrounding portion. The back-surface side insulating resin portion is formed with a recessed portion opening on a case back-surface side.

Claims (17)

1 . A power storage device comprising:

a case member having a terminal inserting hole;

a current collecting terminal including:

a hole insertion portion inserted through the terminal inserting hole in a case front-back direction of the case member; and

an external connection portion continuous with the hole insertion portion and placed in parallel to the case member on a case front-surface side of the case member; and

an insulating resin member integrally molded with the current collecting terminal and the case member, in which the hole insertion portion and the external connection portion are connected to a hole outer edge portion and a hole surrounding portion of the terminal inserting hole of the case member,

wherein the insulating resin member includes a back-surface side insulating resin portion connecting a back surface of the external connection portion and the hole insertion portion of the current collecting terminal to the hole outer edge portion and the hole surrounding portion of the case member, and

wherein the back-surface side insulating resin portion is formed with a recessed portion opening on a case back-surface side of the case member.

2 . The power storage device according to claim 1 , wherein

the recessed portion has a bottom surface located on the case front-surface side, and

the back-surface side insulating resin portion includes an insulating resin layer with a thickness of 200 μm or more between the back surface of the external connection portion and the bottom surface of the recessed portion.

3 . The power storage device according to claim 1 , wherein

the recessed portion is formed in a rectangular shape as viewed from the case back-surface side, and

the back-surface side insulating resin portion is provided with side wall surfaces defining the recessed portion and a connecting rib connecting opposing ones of the side wall surfaces to each other.

4 . The power storage device according to claim 2 , wherein

the recessed portion is formed in a rectangular shape as viewed from the case back-surface side, and

the back-surface side insulating resin portion is provided with side wall surfaces defining the recessed portion and a connecting rib connecting opposing ones of the side wall surfaces to each other.
