COOLING DEVICE, BATTERY MODULE AND ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM AND VEHICLE COMPRISING THE BATTERY MODULE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18029645 titled 'COOLING DEVICE, BATTERY MODULE AND ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM AND VEHICLE COMPRISING THE BATTERY MODULE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a cooling device designed to prevent the spread of gas and flame from one battery cell to others in close proximity.

  • The cooling device is specifically designed to cool multiple battery cells.
  • It includes a battery cell mount portion where the battery cells are placed.
  • The part of the mount portion that comes into contact with the battery cell is designed to rupture if gas or flame is vented from the cell.
  • This rupture helps to contain the gas and flame, preventing it from spreading to other battery cells.
  • The cooling device aims to improve safety and reduce the risk of fire or explosion in battery systems.


Original Abstract Submitted

A cooling device is provided to reduce the spread of gas and flame vented from at least one of battery cells to adjacent other battery cells. The cooling device is configured to cool a plurality of battery cells. The cooling device includes a battery cell mount portion including at least one surface on which the plurality of battery cells is configured to be mounted, wherein a part of the battery cell mount portion configured to contact the battery cell is configured to rupture when at least one of gas or flame is vented from the battery cell.
