BATTERY MODULE HAVING STRUCTURE ENABLING UNIFORM PRESSURE TO BE APPLIED DURING SWELLING, AND BATTERY PACK AND VEHICLE COMPRISING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18032336 titled 'BATTERY MODULE HAVING STRUCTURE ENABLING UNIFORM PRESSURE TO BE APPLIED DURING SWELLING, AND BATTERY PACK AND VEHICLE COMPRISING SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a battery module with a unique design for its housing.

  • The battery module includes a cell stack, which is a collection of multiple battery cells.
  • The housing of the battery module consists of a base plate, a cover plate, and a connector.
  • The base plate covers the lower surface of the cell stack, while the cover plate covers the upper surface.
  • The base plate and the cover plate have a curved shape, with the central region closer to the cell stack than the edge regions.
  • The connector connects the base plate and the cover plate, and it also accommodates the cell stack.
  • The curved shape of the base plate and the cover plate helps optimize the placement of the cell stack within the housing.
  • This design may improve the overall performance and efficiency of the battery module.


Original Abstract Submitted

A battery module including a cell stack including a plurality of battery cells; and a housing including a base plate covering a lower surface of the cell stack, a cover plate covering an upper surface of the cell stack, and a connector connecting the base plate and the cover plate, and accommodating the cell stack. The base plate and the cover plate have a curved shape so that the central region thereof is located closer to the cell stack than the edge regions.
