BATTERY MODULE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240322330 titled 'BATTERY MODULE
The abstract of the patent application describes a battery module with stacked battery cells, each containing an electrode stack, an exterior package storing the electrode stack, and lead tabs for connecting current collectors of the electrode stack. The lead tabs have extensions that extend from the exterior package. Fixation members in the battery module are in contact with welding seals on the outer periphery of the exterior package in a stack direction to secure the battery cells. The fixation members are wider than the welding seals, with ends closer to the electrode stack than the lead tabs in joint areas where the current collectors and lead tabs are joined.
- Battery module with stacked battery cells and fixation members
- Lead tabs with extensions for connecting current collectors
- Fixation members wider than welding seals for securing battery cells
- Ends of fixation members closer to electrode stack than lead tabs in joint areas
- Efficient design for connecting and securing battery cells
Potential Applications: - Electric vehicles - Energy storage systems - Portable electronic devices
Problems Solved: - Secure connection of battery cells - Efficient current collection - Enhanced structural integrity
Benefits: - Improved battery module stability - Enhanced electrical performance - Simplified assembly process
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Battery Module Technology for Enhanced Energy Storage Solutions" This technology can be utilized in electric vehicles, renewable energy storage systems, and consumer electronics, offering improved performance and reliability in various commercial applications.
Questions about Battery Module Technology: 1. How does the design of the fixation members contribute to the overall stability of the battery module? The wider fixation members provide enhanced support and secure fixation of the battery cells, ensuring structural integrity and stability.
2. What are the potential implications of using lead tabs with extensions in the battery module design? The lead tabs with extensions facilitate efficient current collection and connection of the electrode stacks, improving the overall performance of the battery module.
Original Abstract Submitted
a battery module includes stacked battery cells each including an electrode stack, an exterior package storing the electrode stack, and lead tabs to which current collectors of the electrode stack are connected, wherein the lead tabs each include an extension that extends from the exterior package, the battery module includes fixation members that are disposed to be in contact with welding seals provided on an outer periphery of the exterior package, in a stack direction, and fix the battery cells, the fixation members have a larger width than a width of the welding seals, and ends of the fixation members adjacent to the electrode stack are disposed closer to the electrode stack than ends of the lead tabs adjacent to the electrode stack, in joint areas in which the current collectors and the lead tabs are joined to each other.
