POUCH TYPE CASE AND BATTERY PACK INCLUDING SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to a pouch type case having trimming portions formed on both sides or four corners thereof and a battery pack including the same. The trimming portions are formed on the corners of the pouch type case such that the trimming portions are indented toward an electrode assembly accommodating part to reduce a unit area so as to increase pressure applied to unit cells when a battery pack is assembled, thereby facilitating assembling of the battery pack and increasing cell capacity per unit area. Furthermore, the unit cells can be fixed in the battery pack more stably. The pouch type case reduces the unit area so as to include a relatively large number of cells for pressure applied to the cells when the battery pack is assembled to thereby increase the cell capacity. Moreover, a holder having a circular cross-section shape can be easily inserted into the battery pack when the battery pack is assembled to fix the unit cells in the battery pack more stably, thereby improving the stability of the battery pack and facilitating the assembling of the battery pack.
