BATTERY PACK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240234941 titled 'BATTERY PACK
The abstract of the patent application describes a battery pack with a pack case containing multiple module regions, each housing a battery module. The pack case includes a base plate, side walls, and partition walls to separate the module regions. The side walls have gas-filled parts filled with high-pressure extinguishing gas, discharge ports to release the gas into the module regions, and sealing plates to seal the gas. The sealing plates can separate from the discharge ports in response to temperature changes in the module regions.
- The battery pack includes a pack case with multiple module regions for battery modules.
- Side walls of the pack case have gas-filled parts filled with high-pressure extinguishing gas.
- Discharge ports in the side walls release the gas into the module regions.
- Sealing plates seal the extinguishing gas and can separate from the discharge ports in response to temperature changes.
- The design aims to enhance safety and protect the battery modules from overheating or other hazardous conditions.
Potential Applications: - Electric vehicles - Energy storage systems - Portable electronic devices
Problems Solved: - Overheating of battery modules - Safety concerns related to battery packs - Protection against fire hazards
Benefits: - Improved safety features - Enhanced protection for battery modules - Prevention of overheating incidents
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Safety Battery Packs for Various Applications This technology can be utilized in electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and portable electronic devices to ensure the safety and longevity of battery packs. The market implications include increased consumer trust in battery-powered products and compliance with safety regulations.
Questions about Battery Pack with Gas-Filled Side Walls: 1. How does the gas-filled side wall enhance the safety of the battery pack? The gas-filled side walls release high-pressure extinguishing gas into the module regions to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards, enhancing the overall safety of the battery pack.
2. What are the potential commercial applications of this innovative battery pack technology? This technology can be applied in electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and portable electronic devices to improve safety and protect battery modules from hazardous conditions.
Original Abstract Submitted
a battery pack includes a pack case including a base plate including a plurality of module regions each having the battery module located therein, a side wall extending along an edge of the base plate and vertically coupled to the base plate to surround the module regions, and a partition wall coupled to the side wall and configured to partition the base plate to form the plurality of module regions, wherein the side wall includes a gas-filled part that is filled with a high-pressure extinguishing gas therein and corresponds to the module region, a discharge port that is open to allow the gas-filled part to communicate with the module region, and a sealing plate coupled to the discharge port to seal the extinguishing gas, wherein the sealing plate is coupled to the discharge port so as to be separable in response to a temperature change in the module region.
