A button-type secondary battery includes an electrode assembly in which a negative electrode, a separator, and a positive electrode are layered wound in a state of being layered; a lower can in which the electrode assembly is mounted, and a space portion is defined as a surplus space in addition to a space in which the electrode assembly is mounted; an upper can coupled to the lower can to close the lower can in a state in which the electrode assembly is mounted in the lower can, and an electrolyte is injected; and a swelling member mounted in the lower can in a state of being coupled to an outer surface of the electrode assembly. When the electrolyte is injected, the swelling member absorbs the electrolyte to be expanded in volume within the space portion.

Button-type secondary battery

A button-type secondary battery includes an electrode assembly; a lower can into which the electrode assembly is disposed; and an upper can configured to cover an opening of an upper end of the lower can. A beading part recessed inward is disposed at an upper portion of the lower can. The upper end of the lower can disposed above the beading part has a bent shape and configured to surround an edge end of the upper can so that the upper can and the lower can are coupled to each other.

A button-type secondary battery includes an electrode assembly including a first separator, a negative electrode, a second separator, and a positive electrode that are sequentially stacked and wound, wherein ends of the first separator and the second separator are disposed closer to a center of the wound electrode assembly than ends of the positive electrode and the negative electrode; an electrolyte; and a can in which the electrode assembly and the electrolyte are accommodated. In the electrode assembly, an expansion member is attached to at least one central end of the first separator or the second separator, and the expansion member is expanded by absorbing the electrolyte.

A button-type secondary battery according to the present disclosure includes: an electrode assembly; a lower can configured to accommodate the electrode assembly; an upper can coupled to an opening of the lower can; a gasket configured to insulate a coupling portion between the lower can and the upper can; and a center part provided at a core portion of the electrode assembly, wherein the center part includes: a center pin inserted into the core portion of the electrode assembly; and an upper plate provided with an upper cover surface provided on an upper end of the center pin to protect an upper portion of the electrode assembly, wherein an edge of the upper cover surface is provided to be supported on an inner wall of the lower can.
