TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a device for collecting gas generated in a secondary battery, and a system and a method therefor, and specifically, relates to a gas collecting device that allows an analyzer to collect the gas generated in a secondary battery by a desired section, a system for collecting gas and a method for collecting gas.

BACKGROUND ART

As a method of collecting gas generated in a secondary battery, the secondary battery was put in a closed space and then vacuum decompressed. Then, a hole is drilled in the secondary battery to diffuse the gas and the sample is collected. Otherwise, a jig was connected to the outside of the secondary battery, and the secondary battery was punctured and then the gas was collected. The prior art references related to this include K. Kumai et al., J. of Power Sources 81-82(1999) 715-719 and Korean Patent No. 10-1590395.

On the other hand, the conventional method of vacuum decompressing a secondary battery, piercing a hole in the secondary battery, diffusing gas and then collecting a sample is a way to collect and detect inner gas in a vacuum state. Thus, there are problems of contamination of the sample and difficulty in collecting the sample accurately.

Further, in the conventional method of using a jig, there is a concern that the jig may be damaged when the secondary battery is ignited or the temperature rises, and there is a concern that a hole in the surface of the secondary battery may damage the content inside the secondary battery. Further, due to the space occupied by the jig, it is difficult to apply other equipment to the secondary battery.

Accordingly, the safety of the researcher and the gas collecting device10can be ensured due to the danger of ignition/explosion of the secondary battery and temperature rise of the secondary battery. In addition, as described above, since the opening and closing part of the gas collecting part110and/or the main opening and closing part120and/or the opening and closing part of a vacuum pump160can be controlled by the control device remotely, the safety of the researchers can be ensured more.
