BATTERY PACK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240120607 titled 'BATTERY PACK
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a battery stack with discharge valves that release gas when internal pressure increases, housed in a case with plate members between the valves and the upper case.
- Each cell in the battery stack has a discharge valve to release gas when internal pressure rises.
- A case encloses the battery stack.
- Plate members are placed between each discharge valve and the upper case.
- The plate members overlap with the discharge valves when viewed from above.
Potential Applications
The technology described in the patent application could be applied in various industries such as automotive, energy storage, and consumer electronics.
Problems Solved
This technology helps prevent the buildup of excessive pressure within the battery stack, reducing the risk of damage or failure.
Benefits
- Improved safety by releasing gas when pressure increases - Enhanced reliability of the battery stack - Simplified maintenance and monitoring of the battery system
Potential Commercial Applications
"Gas Discharge Valve Technology for Battery Stacks: Enhancing Safety and Reliability"
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to gas discharge valves in battery systems, but specific examples are not provided in the patent application.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology compare to existing pressure relief mechanisms in battery systems?
This article does not provide a direct comparison with other pressure relief mechanisms in battery systems. It would be helpful to understand the advantages and disadvantages of this technology compared to existing solutions.
What impact does the use of plate members have on the overall efficiency and performance of the battery stack?
The article mentions the use of plate members between the discharge valves and the upper case but does not elaborate on their specific role. Understanding the impact of these plate members on the efficiency and performance of the battery stack would be valuable information.
Original Abstract Submitted
each cell forming a battery stack has a discharge valve configured to discharge gas in the inside to the outside when an internal pressure increases. a case houses the battery stack. a plate member is provided between each discharge valve and an upper case. the plate member is arranged to overlap with each discharge valve when the battery stack and the plate member are planarly viewed from above.
