BATTERY PACK FOR VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17892513 titled 'BATTERY PACK FOR VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a battery pack for a vehicle that includes a battery unit with overlapped battery cells. The battery pack also includes unit busbars that are coupled to the electrodes of the battery cells and extended upward from the battery unit. Unit busbar support bodies are located at the ends of the battery unit to support the unit busbars and the battery cells. A lower tray supports the battery units and a pressing plate is placed between the side walls of the lower tray and the battery units to press them in an overlapped direction. A top cover is forcibly coupled to the battery units to cover their upper portions and supply pressure for the pressing plate to press the battery units.

Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed is a battery pack for a vehicle. The battery pack includes a battery unit with overlapped battery cells; unit busbars respectively coupled to electrodes at opposite ends of the battery cells and extended upward from the battery unit; unit busbar support bodies located at opposite ends of the battery unit and supporting the unit busbars and the battery cells; a lower tray on which overlapped battery units are loaded and supporting lower surfaces and side surfaces of the battery units; a pressing plate disposed between each of side walls of the lower tray and the battery units and configured to press the battery units in an overlapped direction of the battery units; and a top cover forcibly coupled to the overlapped battery units in a downward direction to cover upper portions of the battery units and configured to supply pressure for the pressing plate to press the battery units.
