Abstract

A battery pack includes a bare cell sealed by a cap plate, a circuit board disposed on the cap plate, a cover coupled to the cap plate, and a size control unit formed between the upper cover and the circuit board.

Claims (25)

1. A battery pack comprising:

a bare cell sealed by a cap plate;

a circuit board having an upper surface disposed on the cap plate;

a cover having a lower surface wherein the cover is coupled to the cap plate; and

a size control unit formed between the lower surface of the cover and the circuit board so that the size control unit contacts the upper surface of the circuit board, wherein the size control unit comprises a protrusion protruding from the cover and contacting the circuit board.

2. The battery pack of claim 1 , wherein the protrusion integrally formed with the cover.

3. The battery pack of claim 1 , wherein the size control unit is separately formed from the circuit board and the cover, and comprises a member inserted between the circuit board and the cover.

4. The battery pack of claim 1 , further comprising an external connection terminal formed on the circuit board,

wherein a terminal hole is formed in the cover to expose the external connection terminal.

5. The battery pack of claim 4 , wherein the size control unit is formed around the terminal hole.

6. The battery pack of claim 5 , wherein a plurality of the size control units are formed at both sides of the terminal hole.

7. The battery pack of claim 5 , wherein the size control unit has an elongate shape extending in a long-side direction of the terminal hole.

8. The battery pack of claim 4 , wherein the size control unit is formed around the external connection terminal.

9. The battery pack of claim 8 , wherein a plurality of the size control units are formed at both sides of the external connection terminal.

10. The battery pack of claim 8 , wherein the size control unit has an elongate shape extending in a long-side direction of the external connection terminal.

11. The battery pack of claim 1 , wherein the size control unit has an elongate shape extending in a short-side direction of the upper cover or the circuit board.

12. A battery pack comprising:

a bare cell sealed by a cap plate;

a circuit board having an upper surface disposed on the cap plate;

a cover having a bottom surface wherein the cover is coupled to the bare cell; and

a protrusion having a first surface contacting the bottom surface of the cover and a second surface contacting the upper surface of the circuit board.

13. The battery pack of claim 12 , further comprising an external connection terminal formed on the circuit board,

wherein a terminal hole is formed in the cover to expose the external connection terminal.

14. The battery pack of claim 13 , wherein a plurality of the protrusions are formed at both sides of the external connection terminal and each protrusion has an elongate shape extending in a long-side direction of the external connection terminal.

15. The battery pack of claim 13 , wherein a plurality of the protrusions are formed at both sides of the terminal hole, and each protrusion has an elongate shape extending in a long-side direction of the terminal hole.
