BATTERY MODULE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18395763 titled 'BATTERY MODULE
The battery module described in the patent application consists of a battery cell stack with multiple battery cells stacked together, plate-shaped members at both ends of the stack, and cushioning material placed between the cells and/or between the stack and the plate-shaped members.
- The cushioning material includes first elastic members on the outer sides of the stack, a second elastic member between the first elastic members, and a rigid member between one of the first elastic members and the second elastic member.
- This design helps to absorb shocks and vibrations, protecting the battery cells from damage during use.
- The combination of elastic and rigid materials provides a balance of flexibility and support, enhancing the overall durability and safety of the battery module.
- By incorporating cushioning material in this manner, the battery module can withstand external impacts and maintain its structural integrity over time.
- This innovation contributes to the longevity and reliability of battery modules used in various applications, such as electric vehicles, portable electronics, and energy storage systems.
Potential Applications: - Electric vehicles - Portable electronics - Energy storage systems
