BATTERY PACK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18595589 titled 'BATTERY PACK
The patent application describes a battery pack with an insulating frame that separates the battery cell from the housing frame, allowing for the exposure of the bottom of the battery cell to the bottom of the housing frame.
- The insulating frame includes an opening with a flange portion that faces the bottom of the battery cell and a side portion that faces the side surface of the battery cell.
- The flange portion of the insulating frame has a convex pattern that protrudes towards the bottom of the battery cell and a flow channel for adhesive application.
- The flow channel is a stepped portion stepped down from the convex pattern in a vertical direction opposite to the bottom of the battery cell.
Potential Applications: - Electric vehicles - Portable electronic devices - Energy storage systems
Problems Solved: - Improved insulation between the battery cell and housing frame - Enhanced adhesive application for secure assembly
Benefits: - Increased safety and efficiency - Secure battery pack assembly - Extended battery life
Commercial Applications: - Battery pack manufacturing industry - Electric vehicle market - Consumer electronics sector
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the convex pattern on the flange portion of the insulating frame enhance the battery pack's performance? 2. What are the specific advantages of the flow channel design for adhesive application in this battery pack?
Original Abstract Submitted
A battery pack includes a housing frame to accommodate a battery cell; and an insulating frame between the battery cell and the housing frame, and including an opening through which a bottom of the battery cell is exposed to a bottom of the housing frame, a flange portion that extends along a periphery of the opening, defines the opening, and faces the bottom of the battery cell, and a side portion that is bent from the flange portion and faces a side surface of the battery cell, wherein the flange portion of the insulating frame includes a convex pattern that protrudes toward the bottom of the battery cell, and a flow channel that forms a flow path for an adhesive, the flow channel being a stepped portion stepped down from the convex pattern in a vertical direction opposite to the bottom of the battery cell.
