Battery pack capable of discharging gases in pouch type battery cell
First Claim
1. A battery pack, comprising:
- a plurality of pouch type battery cells;
a case comprising partitions suppressing the pouch type battery cells from expanding in a thickness direction thereof, wherein the pouch type battery cells are respectively held in spaces defined by the partitions;
a punching unit installed on the case to pierce a portion of surfaces of the pouch type battery cells, which is not supported by the partition, and having pin members of which number is equal to that of the pouch type battery cells, the pin members being installed on the case so that a distance between each pin member and a surface of the pouch type battery cells is adjustable;
an adjusting lever configured to simultaneously adjust a position of each of the pin members;
wherein the adjusting lever is rotatably installed on the case, the screw thread is formed on an end portion of the adjusting lever, a bore is formed at the center of the pin member, a female screw is formed in the bore, and the screw thread is inserted into the female screw, andwherein each pin member has a key on a surface thereof and the case has a key groove at a position corresponding the key.
