Disclosed is a sealed structure for an electrochemical device having a hollow space therein, further comprising a material generating gases via thermal decomposition in the hollow space. Also, disclosed is an electrochemical device comprising a cathode, an anode, a separator, an electrolyte, a casing for the device, and the structure for the electrochemical device.

Structure for electrochemical device to improve safety and electrochemical device comprising the same

Disclosed is the structure of a center pin inserted into the winding center of a winding-type electrode assembly of an electrochemical device, which has a case containing the winding-type electrode assembly. The center pin can be manufactured through a simple process and can secure the safety of an electrochemical device when physical impact (e.g. squeezing, shock) is applied from the outside or when the internal temperature rises. The center pin is manufactured by winding a planar substrate, which has at least two protrusions formed in an embossing type or which has at least two scores formed in a predetermined shape, into a tubular shape.

Center pin for electrochemical device

Disclosed is the structure of a center pin assembly inserted into the winding center of a winding-type electrode assembly of an electrochemical device, which has a case containing the winding-type electrode assembly. The center pin assembly can secure the safety of an electrochemical device when physical impact (e.g. squeezing, shock) is applied from the outside, when the internal temperature rises, and/or when the device is overcharged. The center pin assembly includes a center pin manufactured by winding a planar substrate into a tubular shape, the planar substrate having at least two protrusions formed in an embossing type or at least two discontinuous scores formed in a predetermined shape; and a container placed in a space inside the center pin, the container containing a substance capable of improving the safety of the device.
