Battery Cell, and Battery Module, Battery Pack and Vehicle Including the Same - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17899858 titled 'Battery Cell, and Battery Module, Battery Pack and Vehicle Including the Same
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application for a battery cell with enhanced safety and improved cooling performance. The battery cell includes an electrode assembly, a cell case, an electrode lead, and a tab protection module.
- The electrode assembly consists of a cell body and an electrode tab attached to one side of the cell body.
- The cell case is designed to accommodate the electrode assembly.
- An electrode lead is drawn out of the cell case and connected to the electrode assembly through the electrode tab.
- A tab protection module is housed within the cell case and covers a portion of the electrode tab.
- The tab protection module includes a heat dissipating material that helps to discharge heat to the outside.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Electric vehicles
- Portable electronic devices
- Renewable energy storage systems
Problems solved by this technology:
- Enhanced safety by providing a protective covering for the electrode tab
- Improved cooling performance by incorporating a heat dissipating material
Benefits of this technology:
- Reduced risk of thermal runaway and other safety hazards
- Increased efficiency and lifespan of the battery cell
- Enhanced overall performance of battery modules and packs
Original Abstract Submitted
A battery cell having an electrode tab with enhanced safety and improved cooling performance, and a battery module, a battery pack and a vehicle including the same is provided.
