BATTERY PACK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240322339 titled 'BATTERY PACK
Simplified Explanation: A battery pack is mounted on a vehicle, with a unique design that includes a frame member above the battery module and a junction box fixed to the frame member. The various fixing portions are rigidly or elastically coupled to ensure stability.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Battery pack mounted on a vehicle with a frame member above the battery module.
- Junction box fixed to the frame member, not the battery module or case.
- Rigid coupling at fixing portions for stability.
- Elastic coupling at intermediate fixing portion for flexibility.
Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, and other automotive applications where a secure and stable battery pack mounting system is required.
Problems Solved: This technology addresses the challenge of securely mounting a battery pack on a vehicle while ensuring stability and flexibility in the fixing mechanism.
Benefits:
- Enhanced safety and stability of the battery pack on the vehicle.
- Improved durability and longevity of the battery pack mounting system.
- Simplified maintenance and servicing of the battery pack.
Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized by automotive manufacturers, electric vehicle companies, and battery pack suppliers to enhance the performance and reliability of their products.
Prior Art: Readers interested in exploring prior art related to this technology can start by researching battery pack mounting systems in the automotive industry, specifically focusing on fixing mechanisms and junction box designs.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on the latest advancements in battery pack mounting systems, automotive safety standards, and electric vehicle technology to understand the evolving landscape of this innovation.
Questions about Battery Pack Mounting System: 1. How does the design of the frame member contribute to the stability of the battery pack on the vehicle? 2. What are the advantages of using both rigid and elastic coupling in the fixing portions of the battery pack mounting system?
Original Abstract Submitted
a battery pack is mounted on a vehicle. the battery pack has a battery module, a battery case to which the battery module is fixed at a module fixing portion, a frame member extending in a front-rear direction of the vehicle and constructed above the battery module, and a junction box disposed on the frame member. the frame member is fixed to the battery case or the battery module at a first fixing portion positioned in front of the junction box and a second fixing portion positioned behind the junction box. the junction box is not fixed to the battery module and the battery case but is fixed to the frame member at an intermediate fixing portion. the module fixing portion and the first and second fixing portions are fixed by rigid coupling without any elastic member. the intermediate fixing portion is fixed by elastic coupling through an elastic member.
