Abstract
An energy storage apparatus includes: an energy storage device including a case in which a joining portion is formed; and a support member which is arranged so as to extend in an elongated shape along the joining portion at a position outside the case and along the joining portion in a side surface portion of the case, and supports the side surface portion.
Claims15
An energy storage apparatus comprising:
- an energy storage device including a case in which a joining portion is formed;
- and
- a support member which is arranged so as to extend in an elongated shape along the joining portion at a position outside the case and along the joining portion in a side surface portion of the case, and supports the side surface portion;
- and
- a holding member which holds the support member,
- wherein the side surface portion includes a long side surface, and a short side surface extending in a direction intersecting the long side surface,
- wherein the support member faces the long side surface,
- wherein the energy storage device includes an electrode assembly which is arranged inside the case and includes a flat portion formed at a position facing the long side surface,
- wherein an end edge of the support member in a direction from the joining portion toward the flat portion is arranged between the joining portion and the flat portion when viewed from a normal direction of the long side surface,
- wherein the support member has higher rigidity than the holding member,
- wherein the support member is a metal member, and
- wherein the holding member is a resin member formed integrally with the support member.
