Battery Pack - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18514148 titled 'Battery Pack
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a battery pack with two sub-battery packs stacked in a height direction, with a heat sink between them that includes a cooling flow path. The sub-battery packs are symmetrically disposed with respect to the heat sink.
- The battery pack includes a first sub-battery pack and a second sub-battery pack.
- Each sub-battery pack consists of multiple battery modules with battery cells arranged in one direction.
- The battery cells are stacked in a height direction within each module.
- A heat sink is positioned between the first and second sub-battery packs.
- The heat sink features a cooling flow path to dissipate heat generated during battery operation.
- The first and second sub-battery packs are placed symmetrically around the heat sink.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and portable electronic devices.
Problems Solved
This innovation helps in managing heat dissipation in battery packs, which can improve overall battery performance and longevity.
Benefits
