VEHICLE BATTERY PACK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240106056 titled 'VEHICLE BATTERY PACK
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a vehicle battery pack with a battery module, a battery case, and a battery cooling mechanism. The cooling mechanism includes an introduction duct, an air guide member, an air guide fan, and a discharge duct to cool the battery module efficiently.
- Introduction duct introduces air into the battery case.
- Air guide member guides the air and seals the front surface of the battery module.
- Air guide fan blows the air towards the battery module.
- Discharge duct releases the air outside.
