Battery Pack Adhesion Member for Bent Pouch Cells

An adhesion member is introduced as an intermediary component between the first and second pouch-type batteries. This adhesion member serves dual functions: it mechanically adheres the bent parts of adjacent batteries together and provides electrical insulation to prevent short-circuits between exposed metal layers, thereby resolving the contradiction between connection reliability and structural complexity.

The adhesion member acts as an insulating intermediary that covers the exposed metal layers at bent parts of pouch-type batteries. By positioning this insulating component at the interface between adjacent batteries, the solution prevents electrical short-circuits while maintaining manufacturing simplicity, as the adhesion member is applied during the assembly process without requiring additional insulation steps.

The adhesion member combines multiple functions into a single component: mechanical adhesion through bonding surfaces and electrical insulation through its insulating material properties. This merging of functions improves adhesion strength between bent parts while avoiding the need for separate insulation components, thereby limiting the increase in manufacturing process complexity.

The adhesion member serves as a mediating component that simultaneously addresses mechanical adhesion and electrical insulation requirements. By introducing this single intermediary element at the interface of bent parts, the solution improves mechanical adhesion reliability without significantly complicating the overall device structure, as the adhesion member integrates both protective functions.
