Battery Module, and Battery Pack and Vehicle Including the Same - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18034950 titled 'Battery Module, and Battery Pack and Vehicle Including the Same
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a battery module that includes a sub module with multiple battery cells and a cooling fin between them. It also has a module housing, a front sealing plate with a cooling liquid inlet, a rear sealing plate with a cooling liquid outlet, and a sensing assembly to measure battery cell voltage.
- The battery module includes a sub module with multiple battery cells and a cooling fin between them.
- It has a module housing that can accommodate the sub module.
- A front sealing plate covers an opening on one side of the module housing and has a cooling liquid inlet.
- A rear sealing plate covers an opening on the other side of the module housing and has a cooling liquid outlet.
- A sensing assembly is included to measure the voltage of the battery cells.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Electric vehicles: This battery module can be used in electric vehicles to provide power and cooling for the battery cells.
- Renewable energy storage: The battery module can be used in renewable energy storage systems to store and release energy efficiently.
- Portable electronics: This technology can be applied to portable electronic devices to improve battery performance and cooling.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Overheating: The cooling fin and the cooling liquid inlet/outlet help dissipate heat and prevent overheating of the battery cells.
- Voltage monitoring: The sensing assembly allows for accurate measurement of the battery cell voltage, which is crucial for monitoring battery health and performance.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved battery performance: The cooling system helps maintain optimal operating temperatures, which can enhance the overall performance and lifespan of the battery cells.
- Enhanced safety: By preventing overheating, this technology reduces the risk of thermal runaway and potential battery failures.
- Accurate voltage monitoring: The sensing assembly ensures accurate voltage measurement, enabling better battery management and maintenance.
Original Abstract Submitted
A battery module includes a sub module including a cell stack assembly having a plurality of battery cells and a cooling fin interposed between adjacent battery cells; a module housing configured to accommodate the sub module; a front sealing plate configured to cover an opening at one longitudinal side of the module housing and having a cooling liquid inlet; a rear sealing plate configured to cover an opening at the other longitudinal side of the module housing and having a cooling liquid outlet; and a sensing assembly configured to sense voltage of the battery cell.
