BATTERY PACK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240322326 titled 'BATTERY PACK
The patent application describes a battery pack with a temperature measuring sensor that extends from outside the housing to inside, passing through a mounting hole, and is sealed with a sealing member.
- The temperature measuring sensor includes a pillar part, a locking jaw member, and an expansion part to cover the mounting hole.
- The locking jaw member provides an elastic bias force along a crossing direction away from the pillar part with respect to the mounting hole.
- The sealing member surrounds the mounting hole and is between the expansion part of the sensor and the housing.
Potential Applications: - Electric vehicles - Energy storage systems - Portable electronic devices
Problems Solved: - Ensures accurate temperature monitoring within the battery pack - Prevents water or dust from entering through the mounting hole
Benefits: - Improved safety of the battery pack - Enhanced performance due to precise temperature monitoring
Commercial Applications: - Battery pack manufacturers - Electric vehicle companies - Electronics industry suppliers
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the temperature measuring sensor improve the safety of the battery pack? 2. What are the potential cost implications of integrating this sensor into battery packs?
Original Abstract Submitted
a battery pack including: a plurality of battery cells; a housing accommodating the plurality of battery cells; a temperature measuring sensor extending from outside the housing to inside the housing along an axial direction by passing through a mounting hole in the housing; and a sealing member. the temperature measuring sensor includes: a pillar part extending along the axial direction; a locking jaw member extending from a lower position of the pillar part to an upper position toward the housing along the axial direction, extending to follow both the axial direction and a crossing direction crossing the axial direction, and providing an elastic bias force along the crossing direction away from the pillar part with respect to the mounting hole in the housing; and an expansion part expanding from a circumference of the pillar part to cover the mounting hole at an upper portion of the mounting hole along the axial direction. the sealing member is between the expansion part of the temperature measuring sensor and the housing and surrounds the mounting hole.
