BATTERY PACK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18580929 titled 'BATTERY PACK
The abstract describes a battery pack with a unique design to enhance safety and efficiency.
- The battery pack includes a pack case with a base plate divided into multiple module regions for housing battery modules.
- A side wall surrounds the module regions and is coupled to the base plate, providing structural support.
- A partition wall further divides the base plate to create the module regions, optimizing space utilization.
- The side wall features a gas-filled part filled with high-pressure extinguishing gas, enhancing safety measures.
- A discharge port allows the gas-filled part to communicate with the module region, enabling quick response to emergencies.
- A sealing plate seals the extinguishing gas and can be separated in response to temperature changes in the module region.
Potential Applications: - Electric vehicles - Energy storage systems - Portable electronic devices
Problems Solved: - Enhanced safety in battery packs - Efficient space utilization - Quick response to emergencies
Benefits: - Improved safety features - Space optimization - Emergency response capabilities
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Safety Battery Packs for Various Applications This technology can be utilized in electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and portable electronic devices, enhancing safety and efficiency in various industries.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the gas-filled part in the side wall enhance safety in the battery pack? 2. What are the specific temperature changes that trigger the separation of the sealing plate in response to emergencies?
Original Abstract Submitted
A battery pack includes a pack case including a base plate including a plurality of module regions each having the battery module located therein, a side wall extending along an edge of the base plate and vertically coupled to the base plate to surround the module regions, and a partition wall coupled to the side wall and configured to partition the base plate to form the plurality of module regions, wherein the side wall includes a gas-filled part that is filled with a high-pressure extinguishing gas therein and corresponds to the module region, a discharge port that is open to allow the gas-filled part to communicate with the module region, and a sealing plate coupled to the discharge port to seal the extinguishing gas, wherein the sealing plate is coupled to the discharge port so as to be separable in response to a temperature change in the module region.
