BATTERY MODULE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18491715 titled 'BATTERY MODULE
The battery module described in the patent application includes a battery cell with a cell vent and a bus bar holder with a module vent.
- The module vent features a flat first surface, a flat second surface facing the battery cell, a vent hole between the surfaces facing the cell vent, and bending guide grooves on the first surface.
- The bending guide grooves are located in a partial region of the first surface, away from the vent hole.
Potential Applications:
- This battery module design could be used in electric vehicles, portable electronic devices, and energy storage systems.
- It may also find applications in renewable energy systems, backup power supplies, and grid stabilization solutions.
Problems Solved:
- The design helps improve the thermal management of the battery cell by providing efficient ventilation.
- It enhances the structural integrity of the battery module by guiding the bending of the bus bar holder.
Benefits:
- Enhanced safety and reliability of battery modules.
- Improved performance and longevity of battery cells.
- Simplified manufacturing and assembly processes for battery modules.
Commercial Applications:
- Electric vehicle manufacturers could integrate this innovative battery module design to enhance the performance and safety of their vehicles.
- Energy storage system providers could benefit from the improved thermal management and structural integrity offered by this technology.
Questions about Battery Module Design: 1. How does the bending guide grooves on the module vent contribute to the overall performance of the battery module?
- The bending guide grooves help ensure proper alignment and secure attachment of the bus bar holder to the battery cell, enhancing the structural integrity of the module.
2. What are the potential cost implications of implementing this battery module design in commercial applications?
- The cost implications would depend on factors such as materials used, manufacturing processes, and economies of scale. However, the long-term benefits in terms of performance and safety could outweigh the initial investment.
Original Abstract Submitted
A battery module includes: a battery cell having a cell vent; and a bus bar holder on the battery cell and having a module vent. The module vent having a flat first surface, a flat second surface opposite to the first surface and facing the battery cell, a vent hole extending between the first and second surfaces and facing the cell vent, and a plurality of bending guide grooves in a partial region of the first surface spaced apart from the vent hole.
