- a vent 321 may be formed in one region of the second plate portion 320 .
- the vent 321 may be located substantially at the center of the second plate portion 320 in the length direction and the width direction.
- the vent 321 may be formed to have a smaller thickness than the second plate portion 320 . Accordingly, when the internal pressure rises in the space between the entire first case 100 and the second case 300, gas is ejected through the rupture of the vent 321, thereby reducing the risk of explosion.
- the third plate portion 330 may be formed by bending downward from the other end of the first plate portion 310 at about 90 degrees.
- the second plate portion 120 and the third plate portion 130 of the first case 100 protrude upward along the width direction of the first plate portion 110, and the second Since the second plate portion 320 and the third plate portion 330 of the case 300 protrude downward along the longitudinal direction of the first plate portion 310, as shown in FIG. 5, the first case When 100 and the second case 300 are combined, a hexahedron may be formed.
- welding is performed at the boundary between the first case 100 and the second case 300 for sealing in a state in which the first case 100 and the second case 300 are coupled. This can be done Although this welding may be performed through laser welding, it is also possible to replace it with ultrasonic welding or resistance welding according to the choice of those skilled in the art. Through such welding, a secondary battery having a final structure shown in FIG. 1 can be manufactured.
- the electrode assembly 200 may be inserted in an open state. Therefore, it can be prevented from being damaged when the electrode assembly 200 is inserted.
- the welding of the first case 100 and the second case 300 is performed outside the cases 100 and 300 in a state in which the electrode assembly 200 is already accommodated in its internal space, the welding This is easy and welding foreign matter can be prevented from entering the inside.
