This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18024896 titled 'BATTERY MODULE AND BATTERY PACK INCLUDING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application discusses a battery module that consists of two battery cell assemblies stacked on top of each other. The battery module includes an upper frame and a lower frame that house the battery cell assemblies. The upper frame is open in the front and rear, while the lower frame is also open in the front and rear. End plates are located on the outer surfaces of the battery cell assemblies. The first and second battery cell assemblies are arranged separately, facing each other. The upper frame is made of a material with a higher melting point than the material used for the lower frame.


Original Abstract Submitted

Discussed is a battery module that may include a battery cell assembly including a first battery cell assembly and a second battery cell assembly in which a plurality of battery cells are stacked, respectively; an upper frame that houses an upper surface and opposite side surfaces of the battery cell assembly and is opened in front and rear surfaces; a lower frame that houses a lower surface and the opposite side surfaces of the battery cell assembly and is opened in front and rear surfaces; and end plates that are respectively located on a surface that is adjacent to an outer side from among front and rear surfaces of the first battery cell assembly and a surface that is adjacent to an outer side among front and rear surfaces of the second battery cell assembly, wherein the first battery cell assembly and the second battery cell assembly are arranged separately in a direction facing each other, and wherein the upper frame includes a material having a melting point higher than a melting point of a material constituting the lower frame.
