Battery Housing - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18561564 titled 'Battery Housing
The abstract of the patent application describes a battery housing consisting of two parts connected by a screw, with one part having a threaded bushing and the other part having a through hole. The threaded bushing is made of a material that melts, softens, or breaks down during a thermal event.
- Simplified Explanation:
- Battery housing with two parts connected by a screw, one part with a threaded bushing and the other with a through hole. - The threaded bushing is made of a material that changes during a thermal event.
- Key Features and Innovation:
- Two-part battery housing design. - Threaded bushing made of material that reacts to heat. - Secure connection between housing parts.
- Potential Applications:
- Battery storage systems. - Electric vehicles. - Portable electronic devices.
- Problems Solved:
- Ensures safety during thermal events. - Prevents damage to the battery housing. - Maintains structural integrity.
- Benefits:
- Increased safety. - Enhanced durability. - Improved thermal management.
- Commercial Applications:
- Battery manufacturers. - Automotive industry. - Electronics companies.
- Questions about Battery Housing:
1. How does the material of the threaded bushing react to heat? - The material of the threaded bushing melts, softens, or breaks down during a thermal event to prevent damage to the battery housing.
2. What are the potential implications of using this innovative battery housing design in electric vehicles? - The use of this design can enhance the safety and durability of electric vehicle battery systems, reducing the risk of thermal incidents.
Original Abstract Submitted
A battery housing includes a first housing part and a second housing part that are connected to one another via a screw. The first housing part has a threaded bushing with a thread that is connected to the first housing part. The second housing part has a through hole. The screw is disposed through the through hole and in the threaded bushing. The threaded bushing is at least partially made of a material that melts, softens, or breaks down during a thermal event.
