Battery Module - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18474223 titled 'Battery Module
The abstract describes a patent application for a system where a terminal member is connected to a battery cell and fixed in place by a holder with protrusions and recesses.
- The terminal member is electrically connected to a battery cell in a stack.
- A holder at the end of the stack secures the terminal member by inserting it in a specific direction.
- Either the terminal member or the holder has protrusions while the other has recesses to lock them together.
- The protrusions and recesses ensure a secure and stable connection between the terminal member and the holder.
- This design allows for easy assembly and disassembly of the battery cells in the stack.
Potential Applications: - Battery pack assembly in electric vehicles - Energy storage systems for renewable energy sources - Portable electronic devices with replaceable batteries
Problems Solved: - Ensures a secure connection between the terminal member and the holder - Facilitates easy maintenance and replacement of battery cells - Prevents accidental disconnection of the terminal member
Benefits: - Improved safety and reliability of battery systems - Simplified assembly and maintenance processes - Cost-effective design for battery pack manufacturing
Commercial Applications: Title: Secure Battery Cell Connection System for Electric Vehicles This technology can be utilized in the automotive industry for electric vehicle battery packs, energy storage solutions for residential and commercial use, and consumer electronics with rechargeable batteries.
Questions about Battery Cell Connection System: 1. How does the protrusion and recess mechanism enhance the stability of the connection? 2. What are the potential cost savings associated with this design compared to traditional battery assembly methods?
Original Abstract Submitted
A terminal member is electrically connected to at least one battery cell of a plurality of battery cells. A holder is located at an end portion of a stack and can fix the terminal member by inserting the terminal member into the holder in a first direction. One of the terminal member and the holder is provided with a first protrusion protruding in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. The other of the terminal member and the holder is provided with a first recess fitted to the first protrusion.
