BATTERY MODULE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18396643 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 two first elastic members on the outer sides of the stack and a second elastic member between them, with the second elastic member having a high spring constant per unit area of 0.9 MPa/mm or more.
- This design helps to absorb shocks and vibrations, protecting the battery cells from damage during use.
- The use of high-quality cushioning materials enhances the durability and safety of the battery module.
- The specific arrangement of elastic members ensures effective cushioning while maintaining structural integrity.
- This innovation can be applied to various battery modules in different industries, such as electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and renewable energy storage systems.
Potential Applications: - Electric vehicles - Consumer electronics - Renewable energy storage systems
Problems Solved: - Protection of battery cells from shocks and vibrations - Enhanced durability and safety of battery modules
Benefits: - Improved performance and longevity of battery modules - Increased safety and reliability in various applications
