Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A power storage module includes: a power storage element; a cooling member that has a coolant and a sealing body hermetically sealing the coolant, is stacked on the power storage element, and is configured to form a bulging portion by deformation of the sealing body caused by evaporation of the coolant in a region not overlapping the power storage element; a heat transfer plate that is stacked on the power storage element with the cooling member sandwiched therebetween; and an elastic member that abuts with the heat transfer plate and the bulging portion and is elastically deformable.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A power storage module comprising: a power storage element; a cooling member that has a coolant and a sealing body hermetically sealing the coolant, is stacked on the power storage element, and is configured to form a bulging portion by deformation and bulge of the sealing body caused by evaporation of the coolant in the sealing body, wherein the bulging portion is provided in a region of the sealing body not overlapping the power storage element; a heat transfer plate that is stacked on the power storage element with the cooling member therebetween; and an elastic member that abuts with the heat transfer plate and the bulging portion and is elastically deformable. 2. The power storage module according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic member is a sponge, and an outer surface of the sponge contacts a surface of the heat transfer plate. 3. The power storage module according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic member is a spring, and an end portion of the spring is fixed to at least one of the heat transfer plate and the bulging portion. 4. The power storage module according to claim 1 , wherein the heat transfer plate has a partition wall that extends in a direction different from a surface on which the power storage element is stacked and separates the elastic member such that the partition wall and the elastic member abut with each other. 5. The power storage module according to claim 1 , comprising: a plurality of the cooling members; a plurality of the power storage elements; and a plurality of the heat transfer plates, wherein the elastic member is sandwiched between the heat transfer plates and the bulging portions. 6. The power storage module according to claim 1 , wherein the cooling member includes an absorption member that is disposed in the sealing body to absorb the coolant.
