Abstract
An energy storage apparatus which includes an energy storage device, an outer case, and an adhesive material which is injected between at least one surface out of a first surface and a second surface which are two surfaces of the energy storage device disposed adjacently to each other and an inner surface of the outer case thus making the at least one surface and the inner surface of the outer case adhere to each other by surface adhesion.
Claims16
An energy storage apparatus comprising:
- an energy storage device;
- an outer case;
- and
- an adhesive material which is injected between at least one surface out of a first surface and a second surface which are two surfaces of the energy storage device disposed adjacently to each other and an inner surface of the outer case thus making the at least one surface and the inner surface of the outer case adhere to each other by surface adhesion,
- wherein the inner surface of the outer case includes a projecting portion which projects toward the energy storage device, and
- wherein the projecting portion and the energy storage device are brought into contact and abut with each other.
A method of manufacturing an energy storage apparatus which includes an energy storage device and an outer case, the method comprising:
- arranging the energy storage device in the outer case;
- injecting an adhesive material into the outer case;
- and
- adhering at least one surface out of a first surface and a second surface which are two surfaces of the energy storage device disposed adjacently to each other to an inner surface of the outer case by surface adhesion by performing the arranging and the injecting,
- wherein the inner surface of the outer case has a projecting portion which projects toward the energy storage device, and
- wherein the projecting portion and the energy storage device are brought into contact and abut with each other.
An energy storage apparatus comprising:
- an energy storage device;
- an outer case;
- and
- an adhesive material which is injected between at least one surface out of a first surface and a second surface which are two surfaces of the energy storage device disposed adjacently to each other and an inner surface of the outer case thus making the at least one surface and the inner surface of the outer case adhere to each other by surface adhesion,
- wherein the outer case includes a recessed portion which forms a gap between an inner surface of the outer case and the first surface and the second surface of the energy storage device, and
- the adhesive material is positioned in the recessed portion and along the first surface and the second surface of the energy storage device continuously and adhere the first surface and the second surface of the energy storage device and the inner surface of the outer case to each other by surface adhesion.
