Abstract
A case having elasticity corresponding to expansion and contraction of a stacked body housed therein and a method for manufacturing the same, a method for inserting the stacked body into the case, and a cell stack using the case are provided. A case configured to house a stacked body includes two opposed contact parts in contact with the stacked body, and two spring structures connecting the two contact parts with each other.
Claims2
A cell stack comprising:
- a case including two opposed contact parts and two spring structures connecting the two opposed contact parts with each other;
- and
- a stacked body in which at least two all-solid-state battery cells are stacked, wherein
- the stacked body is inserted into the case and both ends of the stacked body in a stacking direction come into contact with the two opposed contact parts, respectively, and
- the two opposed contact parts are pressed in the stacking direction of the stacked body,
- wherein the case is made of fiber reinforced plastic,
- the two opposed contact parts and the two spring structures are integrally molded, and
- the two spring structures expand or contract when each of the battery cells expands or contracts, so that a pressure applied to the stacked body by the case is maintained within a range of 0.8 to 40 MPa.
