BATTERY MODULE AND BATTERY PACK INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18029372 titled 'BATTERY MODULE AND BATTERY PACK INCLUDING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a battery module design that includes a battery cell stack, a bus bar frame, a housing, and end plates.
- The battery module consists of at least one battery cell stacked together.
- A bus bar frame covers the upper surface of the battery cell stack and the side where a lead of the battery cell is protruding.
- The battery cell stack and bus bar frame are housed in a housing.
- At both ends of the housing, there are a pair of end plates that are coupled to the surface where the lead of the battery cell is located.
- The innovation includes the formation of multiple gas inducing holes in either the upper frame of the bus bar frame, the upper surface of the housing, or the end plate.
- These gas inducing holes are designed to facilitate the release of gas generated during battery operation.
- The purpose of the invention is to provide a simplified and efficient battery module design that allows for the safe release of gas.
Original Abstract Submitted
A battery module including: a battery cell stack including at least one battery cell; a bus bar frame covering the upper surface of the battery cell stack and the side on which a lead of the battery cell is protruding; a housing for accommodating a coupled body of the battery cell stack and the bus bar frame; and a pair of end plates coupled to the surface where the lead of the battery cell is disposed at both ends of the housing. A plurality of gas inducing holes are formed in at least one of an upper frame of the bus bar frame, an upper surface of the housing, and the end plate.
