Abstract

According to one embodiment, a secondary battery device includes a secondary battery cell, a case configured to accommodate the secondary battery cell, and foam coating layers sandwiched between an outer surface of the secondary battery cell and an inner surface of the case and configured to hold the secondary battery cell.

Claims

1. A secondary battery device comprising:

a secondary battery cell;

a case configured to accommodate the secondary battery cell; and

foam coating layers sandwiched between an outer surface of the secondary battery cell and an inner surface of the case and configured to hold the secondary battery cell.

2. The secondary battery device of claim 1, wherein the foam coating layers are coated on the inner surface of the case and elastically abut against the outer surface of the secondary battery cell.

3. The secondary battery device of claim 2, wherein the case comprises a bottom wall opposing a bottom of the secondary battery cell, a pair of first sidewalls standingly disposed along two opposite side edges of the bottom wall and opposing side surfaces of the secondary battery cell, a pair of second sidewalls standingly disposed along another two opposite side edges of the bottom wall and opposing main surfaces of the secondary battery cell, and a ceiling wall opposing an upper end surface of the secondary battery cell, and

the foam coating layers are coated on an inner surface of the bottom wall or an inner surface of the ceiling wall and come into contact with the bottom or the upper end surface of the secondary battery cell.

4. The secondary battery device of claim 3, wherein the foam coating layers are coated on the inner surface of the bottom wall and the inner surface of the ceiling wall and come into contact with the bottom and the upper end surface of the secondary battery cell.

5. The secondary battery device of claim 4, wherein the bottom wall comprises a plurality of partition plates located between the first sidewalls, opposing the second sidewalls approximately in parallel therewith, disposed side by side at intervals, and opposing main surfaces of the secondary battery cell, and the ceiling wall comprises a plurality of partition plates located between the first sidewalls, opposing the second sidewalls approximately in parallel therewith, disposed side by side at intervals, and opposing main surfaces of the secondary battery cell, and

the foam coating layers are coated on surfaces of the partition plates.

6. The secondary battery device of claim 3, wherein the bottom wall comprises a plurality of partition plates located between the first sidewalls, opposing the second sidewalls approximately in parallel therewith, disposed side by side at intervals, and opposing main surfaces of the secondary battery cell, and the ceiling wall comprises a plurality of partition plates located between the first sidewalls, opposing the second sidewalls approximately in parallel therewith, disposed side by side at intervals, and opposing main surfaces of the secondary battery cell, and

the foam coating layers are coated on surfaces of the partition plates.

7. The secondary battery device of claim 1, wherein the foam coating layers are coated on an outer surface of the secondary battery cell and abut against the inner surface of the case.

8. The secondary battery device of claim 1, wherein the foam coating layers contain a number of independent bubbles.

9. The secondary battery device of claim 2, wherein the foam coating layers contain a number of independent bubbles.

10. The secondary battery device of claim 7, wherein the foam coating layers contain a number of independent bubbles.

11. The secondary battery device of claim 1, wherein the foam coating layers comprise a binder component which includes polyol containing a hydroxyl group and a curing agent containing an isocyanate group, a binder-cured coating film has a universal hardness of 10N/mm² or less and an elastic deformation ratio (We/Wtot) of 80% or more, 3 to 20% foaming particles are contained to a resin solid content of the binder component, and a foaming temperature range of the foaming particles is 70 to 160°
