a tubular rear insulator, which covers both a backside of said plated base and a backside of said cathode conductor, and has a recess, into which said plate base and said cathode conductor get just.
a tabular front insulator, which has an orifice having the same shape to that of the plated departments, which covers a front side of the cathode conductor,
an elastic thin board, which has a recess, into which said plate base and said rear insulator get just.
2. a cathode cartridge according to claim 1 characterized as equipped with a dummy plate which has an orifice having a same shape to that of said plated base and is connected to a direct voltage source to be a negative pole.
3. a cathode cartridge of a testing device for electroplating, comprising:
In a testing device for electroplating equipped with a plating tank for injecting a plating solvent, a positive pole placing in said plating tank, a negative pole placing parallel to said positive pole in said plating tank, and a direct voltage source to apply a voltage between said positive pole and said negative pole,
a scupper for a plating solvent, which is provided in a bottom of said plating tank,
a inflow hole for a plating solvent, which is provided in a bottom of said plating tank to mix around a surface of said plating base,
a circulation pump for a plating solvent, which is connected to aspirate a plating solvent from said scupper and to brush flow a plating solvent from said inflow hole.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A battery pack comprising a plurality of battery cells, a plurality of bus bars, a plurality of safety valves, and a discharge duct, each of the battery cells being covered with an exterior case having a rectangular parallelepiped shape, each of the battery cells having a positive electrode terminal and a negative electrode terminal, the positive electrode terminal and the negative electrode terminal extending from the exterior case, and the battery cells being connected in series through the bus bars to make a series connection structure,
wherein the battery cells are divided into a plurality of stacked groups so that the battery cells are stacked in each of the battery stacked groups along a thickness direction of the exterior case of each of the battery cells and all the battery cells are electrically connected in series by the bus bars,
one stacked group has a smaller number of the battery cells than the number of the battery cells in the other stacked group, and the stacked groups arranged in a battery case make a stair structure,
the positive electrode terminal of the battery cell positioned at one end of the battery cells connected in series in the series connection structure is arranged adjacent to the stair structure,

a power board and the control board are mounted on a single board, the power board being arranged outside of the stair structure, the power board having power elements mounted thereon, and
the battery cells are connected in series through a voltage detection terminal of the battery pack, the voltage detection terminal being electrically connected to the single board on which the control board and the power board are mounted.
2. The battery pack according to claim 1, wherein
the positive electrode terminal and the negative electrode terminal of each of the battery cells and the bus bars are arranged on the same end surface of the battery case in which the battery cells are arranged within each of the stacked groups.
3. The battery pack according to claim 1, wherein
the positive electrode terminal and the negative electrode terminal of each of the battery cells, the bus bars, the safety valves and discharge duct are arranged on the same end surface of the battery case in which the battery cells are arranged in each of the stacked groups.
4. The battery pack according to claim 1, wherein
each of the safety valves is formed on an area between the positive electrode terminal and the negative electrode terminal of the corresponding battery cell, and the safety valve of the battery cell is broken when a pressure of an inside of the battery cell exceeds a predetermined pressure,
the discharge duct has a discharge passage, an inside wall surface of the discharge passage faces the safety valves, and
the bus bars are arranged in a horizontal direction and a vertical direction of the battery pack to electrically connect the adjacent battery cells to each other, the bus bars being disposed at locations spaced from the safety valve such that the bus bars are not disposed between the safety valves and the discharge passage along a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction along which the battery cells are stacked.
