- the shielding plate 40B Since the shielding plate 40B has high rigidity, instead of deforming the outer peripheral portion of the shielding plate 40B to form the flow path B for gas discharge, the entire shielding plate 40B is moved within the insulating space 30 to allow the gas to flow. A road B is formed. That is, by moving the shielding plate 40B itself instead of deforming a part of the shielding plate 40B, the displacement of the outer peripheral portion of the shielding plate is realized and a wide gas discharge passage is ensured.
- the power supply device 100B can further include a plurality of auxiliary supports 70 that melt with heat.
- auxiliary support portion 70 By providing the auxiliary support portion 70, it is possible to limit the movement of the shielding plate 40B, which is movable within the insulating space 30, during normal operation. As a result, it is possible to prevent the shielding plate 40B from moving and contacting the left and right block surfaces due to external vibration or the like during normal operation. As a result, it is possible to prevent the generation of sound due to contact between the shielding plate 40B and the block surface.
- the auxiliary support portion 70 is positioned between the first block surface 11 of the battery block 10-1 and the second block surface 12 of the battery block 10-2, and the support member 50B. placed around each. Further, the auxiliary support portion 70 can be made of resin, for example.
- the shielding plate 40B can be stably held in the insulating space 30 by the supporting member 50B and the auxiliary supporting portion 70.
- the auxiliary support portion 70 is melted by heat, thereby preventing the movement of the shielding plate 40B and the discharge of the gas. Smooth discharge of gas is achieved without
- the entire shielding plate 40B instead of a part of it when the gas is discharged, it is possible to ensure a wide gas discharge path over the entirety. That is, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the gas discharge passage is partially narrowed, so that there is an advantage that the gas can be discharged more smoothly.
- auxiliary support portion 70 that is melted by heat is provided around the support member 50B
- the present invention does not limit the position at which the auxiliary support portion 70 is provided to this configuration.
- an auxiliary support may be separately provided at a position different from the support member.
- the auxiliary support portion 70B can be arranged between the support members 50B.
- the auxiliary support portion 70B can be made thicker, so that a wider contact area for holding the shielding plate 40B can be ensured and the shielding plate 40B can be stably held.
- the auxiliary support portion 70B may be provided at a plurality of locations. As a result, the number of parts for holding the shielding plate 40B by the auxiliary supporting portion 70B is increased, and vibration and rattling of the shielding plate 40B can be suppressed more stably.
- an auxiliary support portion 70B may be added in addition to the auxiliary support portion 70 shown in FIG. In either case, the auxiliary support portion 70B is made of a material that can be instantly melted by the high-temperature and high-pressure gas when the gas is discharged, so that the discharge of the gas is not hindered.
- the shielding plate opening 41 is opened in the shielding plate 40B, and the support member 50B is inserted through. It may be configured to hold the shielding plate 40B. With this configuration, there is the advantage that the holding structure of the shielding plate 40B can be simplified and configured at low cost.
- FIG. 10 shows a cross-sectional view of part of a power supply device 100C according to the third embodiment.
- the same reference numerals are assigned to the same members as those described in the first embodiment and the like, and detailed description thereof will be omitted as appropriate.
- the support member 50C further includes a third support member 53C at the central portion of the first block surface 11 and the second block surface 12 of each battery block 10. As shown in FIG.
- the shielding plate 40C according to the third embodiment has a certain degree of rigidity like the shielding plate 40B of the second embodiment.
- the gas discharge space is made variable by tilting the shielding plate 40C instead of partially deforming the shielding plate 40C.
- the central portion of the shielding plate 40C is tiltably held between the third support members 53C provided on the first block surface 11 and the second block surface 12, respectively.
- the third support member 53C can appropriately utilize any configuration that can tiltably support the shielding plate 40C.
- the third supporting member 53C is formed in a triangular prism shape, is brought into linear contact with the shielding plate 40C, and is supported so as to be tiltable around the rotation axis indicated by the black dot in FIG.
- the apex of the triangular prism shape of the third support member 53C is curved without forming an acute angle.
- the shielding plate 40C may be tiltable by projecting a boss from the end surface of the shielding plate 40C as a rotating shaft and forming a shaft hole for receiving the boss in the third support member 53C.
- the third support member 53C may be formed in a conical shape, and the shielding plate 40C may be recessed in the center thereof to be supported at a point so as to be tiltable in 360° directions.
- the shield plate opening 41 is opened in the inner portion of the outer peripheral portion of the shield plate 40C, the first support member 51C and the It is positioned by inserting the second support member 52C.
- the shielding plate 40C can be moved in the rotational direction indicated by the arrow d4 in FIG. 10 with the third support member 53C as a fulcrum.
- the end 42Ca of the shielding plate 40C on the side closer to the battery cell 1L is pressed against the battery by the pressure of the high-temperature and high-pressure gas. It moves in the direction of the block 10-2 and forms a flow path B for gas discharge.
- the opposite end portion 42Cb of the shielding plate 40C moves toward the battery cell 1L from which the gas is ejected so as to close the insulating space 30.
- the flow path B for gas discharge can be formed on the side near the battery cell 1L from which the gas has jetted out, and the jetted gas can be discharged through the shortest route.
- the shielding plate is not fixed and is of a floating type, so that the volume of the gas discharge flow path partitioned by the shielding plate is made variable, and the side from which the gas is discharged is made variable. can ensure a wide flow path. That is, by making the position of the shield plate variable in the space forming the gas discharge flow path provided between the battery cells facing each other, the two gas discharge paths are partitioned by a common space.
- the gas discharge channel which is not used most of the time, is reduced when not in use, thereby avoiding an increase in the size of the power supply device and at the time of emergency gas discharge.
- the same safety can be ensured by securing a wide gas discharge channel on the side.
- the power supply device of the present invention can be suitably used as a power source for driving electric vehicles such as electric bicycles, electric scooters, electric carts, and electric vehicles, and as a power source for power storage devices for households and factories.
