BATTERY MODULE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240332704 titled 'BATTERY MODULE
Simplified Explanation: The battery module described in the patent application includes a battery cell stack, plate-shaped members at both ends of the stack, and a cushioning member between the battery cells and/or the plate-shaped members. The cushioning member consists of elastic members, including corrugated leaf springs, to provide support and protection to the battery cells.
- The battery module comprises a battery cell stack with multiple battery cells stacked together.
- Plate-shaped members are located at both ends of the battery cell stack in the stacking direction.
- A cushioning member is positioned between the battery cells and/or between the battery cell stack and the plate-shaped members.
- The cushioning member includes a pair of first elastic members and a second elastic member with corrugated leaf springs.
- The first elastic members are on the outer sides of the second elastic member in the stacking direction of the battery cell stack.
Potential Applications: 1. Electric vehicles 2. Energy storage systems 3. Portable electronic devices
Problems Solved: 1. Protecting battery cells from damage during stacking and transportation 2. Providing cushioning and support to ensure the longevity of the battery module
Benefits: 1. Enhanced safety for battery cells 2. Improved durability of the battery module 3. Increased efficiency in battery module assembly
Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized in electric vehicle batteries, energy storage systems for renewable energy sources, and various portable electronic devices. The market implications include improved battery performance and longevity, leading to increased adoption of electric vehicles and renewable energy solutions.
Questions about Battery Module Cushioning: 1. How does the cushioning member in the battery module contribute to the overall safety and durability of the battery cells? 2. What are the specific advantages of using corrugated leaf springs in the second elastic member of the cushioning system?
Original Abstract Submitted
provided is a battery module including: a battery cell stack including a plurality of battery cells that are stacked; a pair of plate-shaped members provided at both ends of the battery cell stack in a stacking direction of the battery cell stack; and a cushioning member disposed between the plurality of battery cells and/or between the battery cell stack and the plate-shaped member. the cushioning member includes a pair of first elastic members and a second elastic member disposed between the pair of first elastic members. the first elastic members are disposed on both outer sides of the second elastic member in the stacking direction of the battery cell stack, and the second elastic member includes corrugated leaf springs that are stacked in the stacking direction of the battery cell stack.
